TEN SECONDS remain after the later parts, crisis-free from現在
And amid fire burns
My heart is captured to lurk
I have in me the burning fire
Oh, a sound of cravings
I have in me the burning fire
Cutting deep
Into our innermost thoughts
And desires
It exposes us for what we really are
The word of God is full of living power
Tell somebody the word of God is full of living power
It is sharper than the sharpest knife
How many of you have ever used a sharp knife before?
How many of you have been cut by a knife before?
Now all the ladies who don't cook, you've never been cut by a knife before
I remember when I was a child, my grandmother told me to kill a fowl
And here I am to assassinate a fowl
To murder the fowl for soup
And I used a knife
I was cutting the things, not cutting
And then it just cut small
Then the fowl was struggling
Like that
Then my grandmother gave me a knock
She said, don't you know that the knife is blunt?
So I said, hold on
Then she brought a new knife she had bought from the market
Sharp
So she removed it from the... you know, normally it has this paper or something
Remove it from the thing
Then I held the knife, I held it
The head
And I took like the same force I was using
The head went off and the knife cut me
So that's how a sharp knife is
Hallelujah
The Bible says that
Think about the sharpest knife in the world
The word of God is more sharper
Praise the Lord
And the word of God is full of living power
It's full of active power
See
The greatest weapon of God to change a man's life
Is his word
The greatest weapon of God, the greatest weapon
For God to use to change a life
Is his word
Many times people seek to have encounters with God and what have you
All of that is powerful
But what really is able to change the life of a person
Is the word of God
When the word of God comes into the heart of a person
That person's life will be totally changed
Totally changed
It does not matter how the person was
Or who the person is
When the word of God settles in the heart of any individual
That person's life automatically will begin to change
And the change from the word of God is not from outside to inside
The change from the word of God begins from inside and it will affect the outside
And that is why we all come together and when we come to church
What is the most thing we do?
The word of God
You come to church, the word is preached to you
The word is preached to you, you go in and you go and you are told to study the Bible, to read the Bible
What happens is that that word is able to change your life
Because the man who says the word of God is sharper
And then the word of God is sharper than any sharpest knife you have ever come across
Then he says and the word of God is full of living power
It is full of power that is alive
So when God's word, listen, when God's word comes to a place
The power, the living power of God is at that place
So it does not matter how your life has been
Praise the name of the Lord
Come on, it does not matter how your life has been
It does not matter the disappointment, it does not matter the delays
It does not even matter the whatever
The word of God has the power to bring a change
Are we together in this place?
Come on, are we together in this place?
The word of God has, it has the power to bring a change in the life of a man
Now I believe that as we are seated here
Almost everybody here one way or the other is seeking for something to change in his or her life
Praise the name of the Lord
A lot of us have battles that we can't explain, a lot of us have things in our lives we can't explain
A lot of us, listen, the Lord brought me this word
That relax
The word has power
The word of God has power
See the mistake a lot of people have done is that
They introduce Christians to men of God instead of the word of God
So you now think, oh my pastor is powerful
No
The word of God is what brings the change
The word of God is what brings the results
The word of God is what brings that transformation that you are looking for
Praise the name of the Lord
Sometimes maybe you are involved with something, you are involved with some people, you are doing things
And you are seeking for transformation
I brought you a word from the Lord
Keep your heart on the word of God
See, don't seek to change
Just keep fellowshiping with the word of God
And as you give your heart to God's word
God's word is able to bring transformation in your heart
Oh hallelujah
Praise the name of the Lord
Let's go to 1 Peter
Let me show you something
Oh glory to God
Glory to God
Say I believe
Come on say I believe
Come on I believe in the word of God
2 Peter 1 19
You will be blessed this morning
Alright
Let's read it
It is we have also a more sure word of prophecy
Whereunto you do well that you take heed
As unto a light that shines in a dark place
Untill the day dawns and the day star arise in your heart
Hallelujah
Praise the name of the Lord
Now let me read from
He says that
In addition we have a more reliable word
And you will do well to pay attention to the word
Just as you will do to a lamp shining in a dark place
Untill the day dawns and the morning star rises in your heart
He says that when you take the word of God
What the word of God does is that
The word of God begins to shine in your heart
When you give your heart to God's word
It is like a little lamp that you turn on in the night
And that lamp that you turn on in the night
Begins to shine brighter
It begins to shine brighter
And then your night will become like a day
Maybe you didn't understand
So let me show you how it works like
So this is a guy who is confused in life
This is a lady who is confused in life
Nothing is working in your life
You can't even tell your left from your right
It's like the world and life has been awkward to you
Life has been bad to you
You have had all kinds of bad experiences in your life
And you don't even know how you are going to live your life
Praise the Lord
Then somebody comes to you and preaches the word of God to you
Somebody proclaims the word of God to you
Jesus Christ is Lord
He saves
Come to the Lord
It doesn't matter what you are going through
If any man be in Christ
A new creation
If thou shalt confess with the mouth
The Lord Jesus
I believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead
You will be saved
Now the person saves all of that
And then you decide to give it a try
Then he says I want to be born again
Then you get born again
Then the person says
I want to invite you to our church
Come to our church
So that you will be receiving the word of God
You say alright I'm going to come to church
And then you step a foot in church
Then the word of God is being taught like I'm teaching
Then you see
It's like somebody has told the pastor
Everything about me
Because everything he's saying
It's like it's about my life
Then you want to come back again
Next week you come back again
Then they tell you another word
There's power in the Holy Ghost
And then you come again
There's power in the word of God
Then you begin to receive that word
When you go home
You begin to think about that thing
You begin to think about the word of God
Oh God
I head in church that your word can change my life
I open my heart Lord
Let your word keep on working
You may even be seeing the same thing
That you won't even change from
The same thing will be happening
But you see
As the things are happening
You are receiving the word
And as you are receiving the word
The Bible says this is what is happening
Your life is full of darkness
And then you came to church
And then you received the word of God
See that is why the word of God is the most important thing
When we come together
Hallelujah
Because when we come to church
The most dominant thing is the word of God
So what happens
In the word
Because it's the word of God
We put the word of God in singing
So whoever is coming to sing
Will not just come and sing any song
That is called gospel
But it's coming to sing the word of God
Do you understand
So in the church we have the word preached
We have the word sang
We have the word prayed
We have the word spoken
So testimonies were read
Of how lives are being transformed by the power of God
So if you are seated here
You heard that there was a lady
Whose child was at the hospital
And then the lady heard
That during the worship jelism
I was declaring healing over the town
And the lady says that
God if truly you have sent these people here
Father my child that is at the hospital
Healed that child
Hallelujah
Then she believed for the child
And the next day
That was in the evening
The next morning
The lady gets a call
That your son and your child
That has been admitted at the hospital
Miraculously is healed
Hallelujah
So when you hear that
Wow
So this particular author that is inside me
Can just go like that
This problem they say is in my blood
Can just go like that
This thing they call sickle cell
Can just go like that at the word of God
Oh God then I believe your word
Praise the name of the Lord
And then some will also come and sing the song
Sing the word
They will sing there's more than enough in your name
Hallelujah
There's more than enough in your name
So it means oh
No matter what I lack
There's more than enough in the name
So the word of God will begin to change you
You begin to see life in a different direction
Hallelujah
It may not happen that day
But keep at the word of God
Hallelujah
Tell somebody I keep the word
Come on take a witness
Look at the brothers say I keep the word
Manama the word is working
The word is working
So the same life
That was full of alcohol
The same person that smokes
That drinks
That womanizes
His life is just
Is just parted like that
Sometimes the person will come to church
Feeling all dirty and guilty
Because as you are coming to church on Sunday
Just this Saturday evening you were having sex with somebody
And still somebody you didn't want to come to church
And somebody walked into your house and said if you don't go I'm not leaving
Then they dragged you to church
Whilst the worship is going on you are feeling dirty
Whilst the preaching is going on you are feeling dirty
You don't feel like you belong
Listen I'm telling you
There's power in the word of God
As it enters your heart
A day is coming
And it is called the day
The day your night will become a day
There is a day
Your night is becoming a day
In the name of the Lord Jesus
And you will be there
And it looks like
Man dabahaya
All the things
That were binding you
All the things that were binding you
It's like
It's like no
The same thing that I couldn't
The word of God has come
And it's like no
The desire is no more there
Glory I am free
Sit down for two minutes
There are people genuinely they love God
But when they look at the things they do
The sins they commit
And all kinds of things
Coming to church
They like God
But the problem is that
They know that God is holy
So they don't want to be hypocrites
So they would rather stay off church
You will go and you want to bring them to church
And they are running away
It's not all of them that are bad
There are some people deep inside their hearts
They love God
See if you are like that here
I want to bring you a word
Keep coming to church
Keep receiving the word of God
Keep praying the word
Because the Bible says that
There is this scenario
Where a person who lives in darkness
The person sees the word receives the word
And then the word will begin to grow
The light of the word will begin to grow
It will begin to grow
And then your night and your darkness
Becomes light
Now I'm talking to about 25 people in this room
Who are struggling with all kinds of things
In the name of the Lord Jesus
The word is growing
The light of the word is growing
In the name of the Lord
The word is growing
Like I just have some few people who believe this thing
The word is growing
The light of the word is shining
It is shining
Sit down
So the word
Like the light
Begins to shine in your life
It gives you strength to walk out
It gives you strength to walk into your destiny
It gives you strength
Wisdom comes
Light comes
That's the word of God
Listen back to Hebrews
Back to Hebrews
Back to Hebrews 4
The word of God is quick and powerful
It doesn't need to weigh your soul
Piercing even to dividing a sender of soul and spirit
And of the joint and marrow
And is a designer of thought and intent of the heart
I'm not going to explain that
But this same word is able to travel
Into the murals of a person
It means that
If you have anything in the blood
It goes in there
If you have anything in the bone
It goes in there
And the meat inside the bone
Which is marrow
The word is able to go there
It means that the word
There is no limitation to how far the word of God can travel
Some of us
Our emotions are not stable
So you are angry today
You are happy tomorrow
It's like all is well today
All is not well tomorrow
Listen
The word of God can enter into your emotions
And change things there
The word of God can enter into your desires
And cause a change
I believe in the word of God
Now that is why we constantly come to church
To receive the word of God
Don't be shy
To be humble before the word of God
Because I can give you like just six months
If you can be consistent with the word of God
There is no change
That can happen in your life
Praise the name of the Lord
Say everything is possible
Come on, say everything is possible
In that word
When your future looks dark
When it looks like
When you look at ten years from now
You don't even see what is going to become of your life
You just live as long as it is day
You just live
There's no bright hopes for your tomorrow
And as some people they don't have a mother who will stand by them when there is a situation
No father to stand by them
No uncle to stand by them
No friend to stand by them
They are all alone in this life
Such a blessing
The word of God has what it takes
To give you bright hopes for your tomorrow
Are you understanding what I'm talking about?
So you can look at the word of God and say
My life will not be a mess
Because of the word of God
The word of God has given me a promise
That he that has started a good thing in me
He will not halt it
He will continue and bring it to pass
The word of God has given me a prophecy
That he knows the thoughts and the plans he has for my life
They are not plans of evil
They are of good
To bring me to an expected end
My God
So as I'm moving in life
I'm heading towards my expected end
It means that by the time you came to this world
God knows how your life you end
God knows it
Oh my God
And I so believe it's
It's not part of it for me to die young
It's not the will of God
It's not the plan of God
For me to be broke in life
It's not the plan of God for me not to be able to fulfill my destiny
No, I fulfill destiny
I work according to divine purpose
My life is a glorious one
I don't know about you
But Souther, my life is a glorious one
Listen, I want you to shout this prophecy to your soul right now
You are going to shout it
My future is great
Now some of you didn't say that
Put your hands on your tummy
And prophesy to yourself
Be your own prophet this afternoon
Shout it, my future is great
One more time, I want you to think about it and shout it
Say, my future is great
Now I want you to say this
Say, no matter what I see
The word of God is sure
Over my life
I have a great future
I have a blessed future
I have a wonderful future
In the name of the Lord Jesus
Hallelujah
Sinner
So the word of God
Is able to bring you
To an expected end
That's why we go to church
Hallelujah
Of course, I mean there are some churches you go to
Nobody has time for the word
No pastor has no time for the word
Pastor preaches 15 minutes
The rest is that let's collect money
2,000 people come here
5,000 come here
3,000
And the church service is turning into a market day
No
Over here
We inject you with the word of God
And we leave you to God's word
And the word of God will begin to work
Hallelujah
The Bible says the kingdom of God is like a farmer who planted a seed in the ground
And he goes to sleep
And he counts
He says that the how the seed will grow
The farmer does not know
This is the farmer does not know
And he says the seed is the word
Hallelujah
So God says the work of me, the pastor
Is to just plant the seed in your heart
How the word is going to work I actually don't know
But listen, somebody came to this church
And the person is not able to walk
And I spoke the word of God
And the person might even leave the church
Still not being able to walk
But then the person goes and said that
While I was on the bed in the evening
I felt like something was running over my leg
And I woke up in the morning
And I started walking
The how I don't know
But I am telling you
The word of God you come to church to hear
It does not stay in the room
It goes with you
On your bed it is with you
In the bus it is with you
In the classroom it is with you
The word is changing you
Hallelujah
Shout it I believe in the word
Sit up
So when the word of God comes in
God has started his agenda in you
When the word of God comes into your heart
God has started his agenda in you
He is able
Listen, my God
Can I talk for a little?
Let's go to the book of Isaiah
I love God's word
Verse 10, 55 verse 10
He says
For as the rain comes down
And snow from heaven
Hallelujah
And returns not thither
But waters the earth
And make it to bring forth and bar
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater
So shall my word be
That goeth forth out of my mouth
The word will not return unto me empty
But it shall accomplish that which I please
And it shall prosper in the thing
In the reason why I sent it
He says this is how the word of God works
When water, when rain comes down
The rain will begin to work
On the crops of the field
And then the crops of the field will begin to grow
He says that that is how the word of God works
The thing that when you come to church
The thing I preach to you
Which is called the word of God
He says that's how it works
How does it work? He says that
God is when I release my word
When I release a word over the life of somebody
The word will not come back to me empty
It means that the word will not come back
And say I couldn't do the job
My God
Has there been a word of God over your life?
My God
He says that that word
It will not come back
It will not go back to God
And tell God that it couldn't happen
If God released a word
He says that
He says that is how the word that goes out of my mouth
That's how it is
It will not come back to me
Without a testimony
So this is a brother
Or this is a sister
Whose life is totally messed up
Messed up totally
And then
God releases a word
You are blessed
The sister is still the same
The sister does not look blessed
God says the word of God will not come back
He says hey
No
Sir, it couldn't be blessed
When God released a word
You may not even look like it
But the word will be able to cause a change in you
For you to become like it
No, sit down, let me just say this thing
One day God walks into a man
And told the man that
I have made you the father of many nations
At the age of 70, 75
The word of God came to Abraham
I have made you a father of many nations
The Bible says that
The word of God came to Abraham, Mish-teh
And Abraham and the wife had never given birth
If you want somebody to become father of many children
Do you use a barren person?
It is only the word of God
That can walk into the land of barrenness
And still proclaim
That you are a father of many generations
And then Abraham said yes sir
And Abraham is walking and is walking and is walking and is walking
For over 20 something years
Still it looks like
The matter is getting worse
Because you know
God came back to Abraham after 20 something years
And said that you are going to give birth
The Bible says finally Abraham laughed
And Sarah too laughed
How is it going to be?
Sarah says how is it going to be?
That over 20 years ago when you gave that prophecy
It could have worked because my husband was not impotent
Right now my husband is impotent
He can't have sex again
I want you to know how bad the situation has become
After you gave me the word
If you don't know I want you to tell me
I want you to know that the day from the day you gave me the word
Things have gone bad from bad to worse
So right now my husband is impotent
And myself
I have passed
And right now I don't even menstruate again
It is not possible to carry a seed
So sir if you can take that prophecy off my life
And go and give to somebody
Because at that time Sarah had gone to Abraham and said listen
The prophecy is not working
So go and sleep with Hagar and give birth
What you see
Let us try and help God
Let us try and help the word of God
And God still maintain his cool
After Ishmael was born
He still comes and say that the prophecy
Of God is on you Sarah
And it is on you and Abraham
Not on you and Hagar
I said that even if you are no more menstruating
Even if your husband has become impotent
I am telling you
You will be a mother of many generations
And Abraham is going to be a father of many generations
I prophesy over your life
When the word of God came over your life
I don't even care if things have gone from bad to worse
The word works
The word of God is working over your life
In the name of Jesus
Sit down for a minute
By that example
It means that
God can carry a word of prosperity
And drop it into the heart of a man
Who comes from a home of abject poverty
And God will leave the word
Listen
When God gives you a word
He does not have to
The God does not have to leave his throne
To follow you around
When he releases a word
He leaves the word with you
Because he knows that
That word is him
And that word has what it takes
To bring you to an expected end
So it does not matter
Maybe you come from a family
Of abject poverty
You come from a family where your senior brother is alcoholic
Your junior brother is alcoholic
One way or the other
Somebody met you, preached the gospel to you
And you are seated here today
And it looks like in your family
There is nobody with any reputable glory
I've seen a family like that
Mother is a drunkard, father is a drunkard
Brothers and everybody
You go to the house and you sense
The hand of the devil
Like there is a curse over this family
Hallelujah
God
Can send a word
Into the heart of one person
In that family
Listen, it's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
And this same person
His light will not be
It will be more than enough for him
Now his light will begin to fall on his brothers
It will fall on his cousins
It will fall on his aunties
And it goes like that
I came to tell you
Help me, help me, help me, help me
The word works
Your life will not be the same
I want you to believe this word
My life will not be the same
The word of God is working on me
Sounded people, the word is working on me
So step by step
Daily
He's gracing me
And he's guiding me
To know him
And he's working me
Telling me there's more than enough in my name
There's more than enough
I don't care what you are lacking
There is more than enough
Shouted, I believe the word
I believe the word
Sit down for a minute
Amen.
Amen, time, time, time
Amen.
And
bar 게 àisse et como c'est
I'm just trying to try and sit
down for 2 minutes. Rabbi sit
down. Sit down. Put put put
your legs down.
One day. I was in a very
awkward situation.
I didn't know who to talk to.
I was talking to my mother.
From my mother. My mother does
not even know this is the size
of the church I'm running. She
still think I'm meeting under a
tree. So, I went home. I went
to my mother. Oh, it's been a
long time. So, I just went
there. So, we're talking, we're
talking, we're talking. And
something came up.
And then he said,
She was not, she was, she was
not going to tell me. It's a
serious matter. I remember when
I took seed of you. I was
around forty something. My mom
is like, I'm twenty-nine. My
mother is like seventy. When
you subtract, it's like
forty something, right? I want
to just clear you. But you
couldn't clear. And then he
just said a thing like that.
Then he said, the day I gave
that to you, my mom goes to
New Apostolic Church. They
don't have these holy ghost
tongues and stuff. No, no, no.
They are like Church of Christ
and Jehovah's Witness. So, the
one who actually started the
church is a German. white man,
solid white man. So, that man
had come to Ghana and was
visiting the churches. And then
the man was in our village. So,
my mom had given birth to me a
day before. I was born on
Saturday. So, the Sunday, my
mom couldn't go to church. So,
after the man came and had the
service with his translator and
what have you, then they told
the man, oh, we've, if you have
come, it's good. We have one of
our, and my mom is committed to
a church, seriously. If you
take her to assemblies,
pentacles, whatever, it's just
a matter of one month. She'll
go back. So, very committed. So,
she had given birth yesterday.
So, why not? Then the white man
came to our house right in the
village. I was giving birth to
in the house, not in the
hospital. And so, they came
greeted my mother and what have
you, then the man came and
little Sassu, I'm there and I'm
being, you know, that those
kind of things, I was praying
in tongues.
And then the man said, put him,
put him on my hands. So, they
put me on the man. Now, there's
a man who does not believe in
prophecy. He does not
profess. He doesn't believe in
prophecy. They believe that
those charismatic gifts, they
were dead with the prophet,
they were the early apostles.
So, that's that. Now, he puts
me on his hands. Then, the man
is holding me like that. Then,
the man lifts me up. And my
mother, she had told me already,
she's told me before, she's
told my mother every time she
will be telling you but at a
particular time, it meant, it
meant the world to me. So, he
said, the man held you like
that. He said, looking at you.
Then, the man started
prophesying. Someone who does
not, the spirit of God
overtakes him. Then, he start
prophesying. This will be a
light to nations. That is that
the man, one day old, the man
will come to you. Then, my
mother told me.
Just like that. Then, I told
her that
I just want to go home. I've
gotten some visitors. Oh, yeah,
when you come here right now,
you want to go as a
alchemy. Oh, from my mother's
house to Bangalore, I was just
in tears and I'm just wiping
and I got to the room and I
was like, I'm going to die.
Yes.
So, you see, that's why I say,
take heed onto the prophecy
because there are times that
you can't even be explaining
how your life is going. You
you can't explain. Like, the
wheel is off your hand. You
just don't know why. There there
can be a season in the life of
a person. He's like,
everything is going bad. Don't
worry. Everything is dark. Take
heed to the word. It means that
a time can come in your life.
Apart from the word of god,
nothing can give you comfort.
God is a people you love will
leave you. People you trust will
betray you. People will talk
about you. They will laugh with
you and all kinds of things. So,
you don't, you may, you, nobody
may even be available to talk
to but I know what's going to
happen. The word of god. Father,
I'm telling you this and the
Lord prospect Isaac. On a hard
famine invaded land. I'm
telling you somebody. The word
of god will carry you through
life. Amen. I said the word of
god will carry you through life.
Amen. The word of god will
carry you through life. Amen.
Maybe you have no mother. Maybe
you have no father. Maybe you
have nobody to to to guide and
lead you but the word of god
will carry you through life. I
said the word of god will take
you through life. Amen. The
word will give you strength.
Amen. In the name of Jesus.
Amen. Now, sit down. Let me
end the message.
The word of god has the power
to change the unchangeable.
The word of god. The word of
god. I believe the word.
Let's go to Genesis. Let me
just quickly do this in 5
minutes and then I'll pray with
you. Hallelujah.
That's what you hold on to.
That's that's what you hold on
to. And Isaac was 40 years old
when he took Rebecca to wife.
The daughter of Bethuel, the
Syrian of Padana. The sister to
Laban, the Syrian. And Isaac
entreated the lord for his wife
because she was barren. And the
lord was entreated of him and
Rebecca, his wife conceived.
And the children struggled
with him. So, why am I thus?
Hey
ready. And I'll pay.
But we don't have time. We have
to close. The woman was barren
now. Finally, she has conceived.
And there's always struggle
with me.
I'm not a man.
Struggle with me. Listen. This
is somebody who is barren.
Finally, they pray to god and
god answers the prayer and god
gives them
what they are looking for.
They're like, this is struggle.
He's like, after god answers my
prayer, it's like, the thing is
killing me. It's like something
is happening. It's like, how is
life? I mean, what is this? When
you went to god, god, why am I
like this? What a question. Why
is it that I, you know, how many
people are in this? God, why
me? Why am I like this?
Why am I like this? Why are
there things around me that are
unexplainable? Why am I thus?
Then look at what the lord
says. Next verse. And the lord
said unto her, it's because two
nations are in your womb.
You carry two nations. The
reason why you are going
through all this kind of thing
is because you you don't carry
two human beings. You carry
two nations.
Oh my goodness. So, there are
two nations. Sometimes they
don't, they don't even know
themselves again. They can't
believe themselves again. They
don't even know what everything
is about again. But god says
relax, relax. It's because
there are two nations inside
you. Can a man swallow a
nation? He says, because there
are two nations inside you. You
are not forsaking you. You are
not going through that because
god is powerless. You are not
going through that because god
has forgotten you. You are
going through that because the
answer god gave you is too big
and it has to affect the world.
I prophesy over your life, huh?
Your steps are ordered. The
Lord has not forsaken you.
The Lord has not forsaken you.
So did I am a blessing.
Now, contrary to what you may
have taught about yourself,
shouted, I am a blessing.
Now, let's continue the
reading.
So, the two nations are inside
you. Oh man, I, it's not, it's
not Rebecca I want to talk
about. I want to talk about
Jacob. And two manner of people
shall be separated from thy
bowels. The one shall be
stronger than the other. And
the other shall serve the
younger.
And when her days to be
separated from her, she had
twins in her womb.
If I get time.
twins in her womb. And the
first came out red. All over
like a hairy garment. And they
called his name Esau. And after
that came his brother out. And
his brother's name was called
Jacob. So, the battle was from
the womb. I went together. The
battle was from the womb. The
the the the battle was from the
womb. And when the woman gave
birth, the younger brother was
holding on to the heel. Where
is your heel? This and give me
your heel. So, like, when the
woman gave birth, like that.
And when they saw that, they
called his name Jacob.
I need I need about four hours
to explain what I just said.
What did God say to Rebecca
about Jacob?
He said, he will be greater
than the elder brother.
He'll be greater than the elder
brother. The elder brother will
serve him. That's God's word.
So, God said, that is that. My
God. I errate. I Jesus. But
the elder brother was holding
the heel of the elder brother.
And they saw that and that
informed the name Jacob. And
the name Jacob means
supplanta. A heel holder. One
who will not allow somebody to
progress. Was that their
identity God gave to Jacob? No.
God gave to Jacob. He changed
the identity of the young man.
God gave a prophecy. This one
is great. And shall be served
by the eldest brother. But they
said, alright, you said that.
But by what we are looking at,
we are calling him supplanta.
We will call him supplanta.
Because he was holding
How many people's identities
have been changed because of
what we saw them do? How many
people's identity have been
changed? He calls himself a
Christian. He calls himself a
pastor. He calls himself a
singer. Oh no. That can be. So
we'll not change. We will
change the name. From what God
says he is. To what he is not.
God did not say Jacob is a
supplanta. God said that. So in
the moment of the healing, the
holding of the heel, the
moment they saw that, Rebecca
should have said, wow, God's
word has come true.
You didn't understand what I,
what I'm talking about. But
Isaac changed the name. And
said, this is a supplanta. This
is a trickster. This is a
person who is in progress. Have
you ever been misrepresented
before? Because of what you do.
It so happens like that. And
the name they called Jacob
stayed on him. The power of
that name stayed on him. But
the word of God cannot be
stopped. So brother comes in
one day and say, can you give
me something to eat? Jacob
said,
Jesus said,
at time
divine prophecy is battling
with identity crisis.
I'm born to be a leader.
But there's an inner battle.
So I need it. Now, you are to
give me something. I'm going to
give you something. What I'm
going to give it to you. Sell
me your birthright. God never
said, Aesop will sell his
birthright to Jacob. For Jacob
to become great. But the name
has been on him, the
supplanta. The one who holds by
the heel. And then there is a
prophecy on him. As the leader
of his senior brother. So all
these things are are coming
together. All these things are
coming together. Today is like
I I am supposed to be saved.
Tomorrow, no. Let me do this
thing.
He ended up taking the birth
right of the brother and
receiving all the blessings.
Then he goes in. Goes out living
with the brother for years. His
life is looking awkward. Let me
not bore you with all those
stories. Then one day, on his
way back home, something
happens. Let's go to 32.
Twenty-four. Twenty-four.
Twenty-four.
And Jacob, there was a day when
he was coming a day in his
life. I'll not bore you with
the background. I'll not bore
you with the background. And
Jacob, the one they call
supplanta. The one they call
heel holder. The one they call
he doesn't respect. The one
whose life has been mad. The
one who has been misrepresented.
The one who is called a
supplanta and all of that. There
was a day in his life. He was
left. alone.
alone.
Every loved one left. You read
up. He told the wife, go here.
The wife was gone. Kids
nowhere to. They're also
somewhere. He was left alone.
He was left alone. Then the
man came to him. Until the
breaking of the day.
He fought with a man. Until the
breaking of the day. Next
verse. Now, when you saw that
he prevailed against him, he
touched the hollow of his thigh.
He was out of joint and he
wrestled with him. Next verse.
And he said, let me go for the
day breakers. And he said, I
will not let you go. Except you
bless me. Who said you should
bless me? Say bless me. Bless
me as a supplanta. Bless me as
a healer. As a healer. Bless me
as somebody. Who takes the
progress of another man. Bless
me.
Then the lord said, What is
that your name again? I'm not
the only person who asked that.
God to ask. What's your name?
What's your name? He says, what
is your name? What is your name?
And he said, no, no, no, no,
next, no, go back. And he said,
Jacob. What is your name,
Jacob? What is your name,
Jacob? I am the supplanta. I
fight for what I desire.
I will break into another man's
territory to get my prophecy. I
am strong.
Bless me on that. Then God
says, alright, what is your
name? Say, I'm the supplanta,
I'm Jacob. Blessing.
Now,
I'm going to read it. All of
us. Let's read it.
He says, listen.
Your name. Your real name all
these years. Shouldn't happen,
Jacob. You you call yourself a
man. He inspires people to give.
So, if God is changing Jacob, he
didn't know anything about it.
Your real name all these years
should be Israel. You know what
is the meaning of Israel? He
will rule as God. Oh my god.
He says, no, you are not Jacob.
You shall no more be called
Jacob. That's not your identity.
Your identity is let God have
his way.
Let God have his way.
Don't try to let God's prophecy
come by your strength. Let God
have his way. You have power
with God. And man and you have
prevailed.
You did not break down. You
have prepared.
The word of God that came to
you. Even when you were in the
womb. And all these years you've
been living a life that does not
conform to that word. Today,
you are in the womb. The word,
this is what I want to say, the
word that was giving when the
guy was in the womb could not be
stopped. Regardless all the
runabouts in his life. It could
not be changed. The same way if
you are here under the sound of
my voice. It does not matter
what you do. At the point of
seeing God. At the point of
receiving his word. At the point
of knowing him. His word comes
alive. And transformation
begins to happen. I want to
pray for you in the name of the
lord Jesus Christ. That no
matter what. You will let God
be your God. You will let him
be God. You will let him be
God. You will no more be the
god of your life. You will let
him be god. This morning I
decide to let God be god. No,
no, no, no, I'm not going to
fight for anything. I'm not
going to battle for anything.
I'm not going to fight for anything.
No, not by my strength. No, not
by my power. Let him reign as
God. Let him reign as God. Let
him reign as God. I want you to
lift up your hand as we are
closing. You are going to pray
a prayer. Lift your hand and
say, oh lord, this afternoon,
be god. Be god. Have your way
in my life. Have your way in my
life. Have your way in my life.
Have your way in my life. I
open my heart for the word of
god. Let the word of god work
in my life. Some of us are
even tired of life already. But
oh god, to this this afternoon
today, let your word work. Let
your word work. Come on. Come
on. Open your mouth. Open your
mouth. Open your mouth.
Have your way father. Be god
