Hebrews 11:32 “And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:”.  You need to understand that the God we serve is a God of principles. God is no respecter of man. God is a respecter of his word. God only responds to his word, not our tears or our emotions or how we feel. Therefore, for us to approach God, we must approach God on the basis of his word. That is why it is crucial that you walk in faith. The bible says “anything done without faith is a sin”. That means, the only means that we receive from God is through faith. Faith is the vessel by which we take or breakthroughs from God. If you want to please God you have to walk in faith. The question you want to ask is what is faith? Hebrews 11:1-3 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear”. When you operate in faith, the things you are hoping for in the future become tangible now. Every time you operate in faith, you have substance and evidence. Please understand your faith level determines your things level. The number of things you have in your life determines your faith level. Through faith we understand that the worlds that we see were framed by the word of God, so that the things which were seen where not made of the things that do appear. Everything we see in the physical was made from the invisible and the invisible is faith. That means you have the power to use faith to frame your world. That is why it is important what you say because faith frames your world. When you say negative things, negative things will frame your world. When you say positive things, positive things frame your world. Faith only work by declaration. Not by head faith but heart faith. The faith that is in your heart, when you declare it, you will see it come to pass. 

Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today,and forever”. We are living in a dispensation of grace. A dispensation of Grace is a dispensation where God freely gives his Grace onto us. John 1: 16 “And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace”. That means Jesus is full of the Grace of God. Jesus is the Grace of God here on earth and every time we have an encounter with Jesus, we have had an encounter of God’s Grace. The bible says that the law was given by Moses but Grace and Truth came, John 8:32 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”, the truth does not set you free, the truth makes you free. John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”, Jesus is the Truth. God gave the law through a servant but Grace came through Jesus the Son. The bible says, he whom the Son sets free is free and today you will be Free. God in his wisdom Gave us grace because he knew we could not fulfill the dictates of the law. The law is not just the 10 commandments we know. The law is 613 altogether and the children of Israel said "all this we will do". The law was broken into 3 different categories. We could not live by the dictates of the law because the law was too much. So God is his wisdom knew you could not operate by the 10 commandments so he gave us Grace. There is something you need to understand when dealing with grace. Grace does not mean a license to sin. Grace is a higher dimension of spiritual law because Jesus said I have not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it. What he is saying is that when you see me everything in the law is fulfilled in me. Matthew5:17-19 “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. 18 For verily I say unto you,Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law,

5 keys that releases the grace, that will make the impossible possible. 1) The promise. What has God promised us in his word? To experience the impossible,you must believe the promise of God. This is the revelation of his will and purpose over your life. If you do not have the promise, you cannot have the present. We have to act in obedience to his word and then God will back as up.If we act recklessly or out of our own emotions and do things because we feel like it then we are going on our own accord. Believe his promise with all your heart. What does the bible say about God that makes his promise true? Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”. God does not turn back on his word like man. God does not mix his words; God doesn’t turn back and says he didn’t mean that. God says it and he means it, and when he says it, it comes to pass. That is one character of God that we can always rely on, that God is not a man that he should lie. Every time he speaks a word, if you hold on to that word and hold on to it, God will see you through. Isaiah 55:11 “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it”. if you are not sending any word, don’t expect the present; if you are not saying the promise don’t expect the promise. Confess the promise, say the promise. The bible says the angels are waiting for us; they are waiting to do the bidding of God’s word. So when you speak the word, the angels get it and run with the word and they go so that they can prove that God is true indeed. When you say nothing, the angels stand around you waiting for you to say something. Every time you say the word of God the angels are waiting to run with it. Romans 4: 17 – 21 “(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith,he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promi

John 2:5 “His mother saith unto the servants,Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it”. Something is about to come out of you and what to come out of you is going to be the world’s best. God is going to draw out the best from you and from hence forth the world will know you serve a living God.  It is important that is we are going to walk with God; we have to do things Gods way. It is important to obey God in tithing. The tithe is the gateway to your financial blessings. The tithe provokes generational blessings to the fourth generation. When Abraham was tithing, levy was four generations from Abraham. Even though levy was not there when Abraham tithed but when he tithed, levy also tithed. Levy is the priesthood. Every time you tithe you are preserving 4 generations. The priest is the mouth piece of God. Every time you tithe, you are wearing an alter in your family for a priesthood, through whom the blessing flows. For God says “I cannot do anything here on earth without my servant the prophet”. Before God can do something he needs a prophet and when you tithe, you are preserving that lineage. Whenever you tithe you are preserving that priesthood in your family. When you do not tithe you are killing that priesthood in your family and when you kill that priesthood that means you have no access to the blessings of God. The tithe preserves the priesthood in your lineage and the purpose of the priest is to release the blessings here on earth. So every time you do not tithe think about yourgenerations. Hebrews 7:8 “And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth”. Whenever you tithe you are provoking spiritual blessings. That is why the bible says when you don’t tithe, you are cursed witha curse and the heavens are shut over you. No Pastor is powerful enough to open the heavens over you once they are shut because the covenant cannot be broken. The covenant is no respecter of persons, once you fulfill your part he fulfill's his part. 

John 2:5 “His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.” Please understand that your obedience is not complete until you do what God tells you to do. God ultimate desire for your life is for you to be blessed. God never plagues us. God prospers us. God’s ultimate desire is for every child of his, is to be blessed. Every parent wants the best for their children and the same is with God, Luke 11:10-13“For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him.” God’s ultimate desire for you is to be above and not below. Whatsoever God asks you to do, when you do it, your water will be turned into wine, and your mess will be turned into a message. You do not have to understand what God tells you to do before you do it. That is why you first a have to know the voice of God. Once you know the voice of God, it becomes easier to trust him. When he tells you to do something and you do it, your poverty will be turned into prosperity, your tears will be turned into triumph, your test will be turned into a testimony, your sickness will be turned into healing. You cannot serve God and Go down. God is not a robber, if you give God your time, everything you need in life, God will give it to you. Every test you are going through, it will become a testimony. Give God your time; serve God, win souls and God will give you money. Job 36:11 “If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures”. Give go what you have to get what you don’t have. You want God to bless you and fill your house with blessings, fill his house with souls and see if God will not bless you. You cannot serve God and go down. Job 22:28 “Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.”

You can be at the place of grace and not be a partaker of grace. You can be so close to the anointing and still miss out. Don’t be a t the place of Grace and miss Grace. You have to believe God Big. Deuteronomy 1: 6 “The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:” God is signalling us that it is time to move. When God created you and I, Gods intention for us to walk in the blessing. Revelations 4: 1” After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.” It is time to move to the next level. You have stayed around that mountain for too long. It is time to move. But for you to move you also have to be angry with that situation. You cannot be happy with a situation and for that situation to change. Nothing changes when you are happy with it. The purpose of a Prophet. 1) Prophets are Gods agent of change and their purpose is to change every negative situation. 2) Prophets are sent by God to declare the mind of God to declare the mind of God into the lives of Gods people. 3) Prophets are sent but Got to deliver and to preserve Gods people Hosea 12: 13” And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.” Prophets Deliver and Prophets Preserve. How do I recognize a genuine prophet? Genesis 20:7 “Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.” Prophets have the power to declare life and the power to declare death. If I have to receive from a prophet the one thing you have to do is to change your perspective 2 Kings 4: 9 “And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.” You have to change your perception.  The way you see a thing is how it deliverers to you. The way you perceive a thing determines what you receive from that thing. If you perceive this prophet as your own and become familiar with him, you won’t receive anything. Mathew 10:41 “He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.” the way you receive a prophet releases the prophets reward. Many people receive the gift that the prophet is carrying but do not receive the person of the prophet. Jesus said if you receive a prophet in the name of a prophet you will receive the prophet’s reward. What Jesus was talking about was to receive the person of the prophet, to receive the carrier of the gift. There are some people who love the gift more than the giver of the gift. 

John 2: 5 “His mother saith unto the servants, whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.” Please understand that the instructions you follow determines the blessing that follow you. Proverbs 4:13 “Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.” we are living in a generation where people have opinions. God does not appeal to our opinions. God gives us instructions, God gives us a command. You can choose to follow it or you can choose not to follow it but you will eat the consequences of the instructions you follow or do not follow. Genesis 8: 22 “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Jeremiah 33:20 “Thus saith the LORD; if ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season.” The covenant responds to those who fulfil the part of it. So if you are going to walk in the blessings of God this month, whatsoever he tells you to do, do it. It doesn’t have to make sense to you, just do it. It doesn’t have to appeal to your understanding. Remember we are believers not understanders because if you are waiting to understand God you will miss him. The bible says his ways are not our ways. His ways are far above you and my ways. 

Everything in the bible is not there for a purpose. God is not a God of accident. God operates in many occasions by signs by tokens. So it is important to understand the way he operates but how he operates. Acts 19:11 – 12 “And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.” The life of every believer must be a life of signs and wonder. Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever.” This means what God did yesterday; he can still do it today. God from today will do special miracle by his servant Adama. Acts 19:12 “So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.”  The same anointing that is upon Paul was upon the church and the church went out doing exploits.Tonight through your prophets mantle you shall do exploits. Hosea 12:13 “And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.” This means God uses prophets to bring deliverance in our lives and secondly to bring preservation to our lives. Your prophet does not have to have a title for him to be a prophet. The qualifications of a prophet are that his words do not fall on the ground. Every word he speaks comes to pass. How do I receive the prophets Mantle? To receive the same level of anointing that operates through your prophet, 4 things are important. 1) You must honor him publicly and privately. 2) You must pray that the anointing is not contaminated but remains pure. We must continue to constantly pray for our Men and women of God that the anointing remains pure. When the anointing is contaminated whatever comes out to you will also become contaminated. But when it is pure it will also be pure.3) you must pray for the anointing to increase daily .4) you must pray that through the anointing the whole world will be blessed. Every time you pray these prayers the same effect rubs on you. 

John 2; 5 “His mother saith unto the servants, whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.” Within this scripture you will notice there is 90% of talking and 10% of doing. This means that there is a voice behind the speech. If you do not know the voice behind the speech you will not be able to do what he asks you to do. Before we can engage in doing the 10% we have to look at the 90%which is knowing or how to know the voice of God. How do I know the voice of God? Once you know the voice of God it gives you the confidence to do what he has asked you to do. John 10:27 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” You can only follow him when you know him. “The voice of the stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.” If you are going to do exploits, you have to know the voice of God. 4 things from this scripture: 1. you have to know that there is a God. 2. You have to know that this God communicates with man.3. You have to know that and can recognize his voice when he speaks. 4. You have to know that God has something to say. This means God has revealed himself to you and I and he wants us to know him. The most precious thing you will have as a Christian is to know the voice of God. The only way you can hear his voice is if you can have an intimate relationship with him. Many Christians don’t know Gods voice because there are in different places and different things. When God speaks they cannot hear God because there are so many voices going on. But once you know the voice of God, you know that this is God and you know that he cannot make a mistake.

Luke 22: 42-46 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly,and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep;exhausted from sorrow. “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.” The resurrection of Jesus will mean nothing to you if you do not know what the will of God is.Christianity is not a religion. Christianity is a relationship. Jesus did not come to give us religion. Jesus came to give us life. Christianity is not a religion because religion does not give life. John 10; 10 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”  In Christ Jesus there is life. There is no fake life in him. There is real life and he came to give us life eternal. If you have to experience this abundance of life, I have to know what the will of God is. The will of God is very important but without knowing what the will of God is, you are lost.  If you don’t know what the will of God is for your life, you are lost. Luke 22; 42 “Saying,Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will,but thine will, be done.”  Jesus had power to choose his own will. You also have the same power to choose your own will.

Philippians 2:8 “And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death even death on a cross” One of the things you have to understand as a child of God is to understand who God is. Once you know and understand who God is, obeying God or following God becomes easy. God has a plan for everyone. Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” God’s plan brings us to an expected end. Man might have a bad plan for you but what you have to put your trust in is that god has a good plan for you. Even if you don’t have a plan for yourself, God has a good plan for you that will bring you to an expected end.The expected end is the desired end. The journey to the expected end might take long, but whatever happens, God will bring you to the expected end. The thing about this expected end is that you are not in charge. God is in charge. 

It is naturally impossible to obey certain commandments of God but for that to happen we need the spirit of obedience and to obey is better than sacrifice. Obedience is the trigger for supernatural breakthroughs. If you want to walk in supernatural breakthroughs, it is important to obey the word of God. Delayed obedience is disobedience. Delayed obedience will keep you in the same place. Every instruction from God is a test. You either write it at the time it is set or wait another year. Please understand that when God gives you an instruction, it is a test and it is your choice to write that test at that time or wait another year. Only when you pass that test will you move to the next level. If you do not do the test that is set on the date when it is set by God that means you will have to remain on the same level for another year. But what if the God will only reset that test in another 10 years? It is important to obey now and reap the blessings of obedience than delay your obedience.  Every examination has its timing. You do not choose the time to write the exam, but it is the examiner who chooses the time to write the exam. It doesn't matter what you do. Until you obey God you will be in the same position forever. When you obey God, the blessings will follow.You do not struggle. You cannot see your future if you are not willing to let go of your past.

There is no future for any Christian who does not obey God or who does not obey the word of God. Obedience is vital for our upliftment. Obedience is like a test that moves us from one level of life to the next level of life if we follow it.If you have to move to the next level of your life or the next level of your destiny, you have to walk in obedience. There is a level of commitment that takes the grace of Gods spirit to walk in because there are certain commandments of God that takes the spirit of obedience to walk in it. Each and everyone carries the very nature of God within them. God resides and lives within you. 2 Peter 1:4 “Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.” You are a partaker of the divine nature which means that the same way God is, that means you are also. You and God are the same. It is important for us to engage the spirit of obedience. 

Many are going through life trying to find out what their purpose and what their destiny is. Life is meaningless until you find what your destiny is. The moment you discover your destiny is, you begin to live a fulfilled life. 

Your destiny is at stake, so when you are coming to the one who will reveal your destiny to you, do not approach him casually. Don't serve God casually.
