| Pr. Julius Nyerere during his Sermon |
Let me start with a question
Who are you and what does the Bible say about you?
In reality, others know themselves but others don't. Getting to know yourself and what the Bible say about you is the best thing ever because you won't underlook at yourself and you definitely stop wasting the time God has given you. God created all of us for a purpose and with numerous potentials but it's upon us to discover ourselves and what God always tell us.
A person is always confident when he/she discovers himself or herself and what the Bible say about him or her. If the Bible says 'you are a winner', do you again doubt yourself?
When u discover yourself, u can't suffer because you know your strengths and weaknesses. You therefore correct your weak points, make a positive decided decision, Solve problems skilfully whenever they surface. You can't suffer and you can't be a slave of sins.
The Bible says you are blessed, a winner, protected. Never think otherwise.
Hallelujahhhhhhh
Who are you?
For instance, you have with you a weapon but you take off when you see a lion and yet the Bible says "You are protected by the blood of Jesus". Now, you still doubt the words and you take off instead of using the weapon you have! This is termed as ' Lack of faith', 'Fear of failure' etc. Please, get to know yourself and what the Bible says about you.
Amen?
You may even question whether God really exists when you don't discover yourself. He is a Redeemer, a provider, a healer, a protector, blá blá blá . He is who he says he is. Just believe in him! His answers to your requests are always "YES", Yes, yes, yes, yes.
HALLELUJAHHHHHHH
Jesus did everything confidently as per the scriptures because he knew himself. He couldn't doubt himself.
Be confident in the words of the Lord, have scriptures when doing evangelism and there results will be! Amen?
You might have been at the scene of an incident. You should correctly and confidently report the news. Without confidence, people will doubt you!
The Bible says Silver and gold belongs to him. By the way, we also have the shares of that very Gold and Silver since Christ is in us.
Hallelujahhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhh
Failing to understand/discover ourselves delay us from reaching far. A case in point, you find that someone is still in a single room for 10 years. Bedroom, store, kitchen, sitting room are all in that room. INTERESTINGLY, Under that bed there is another bed for kids. Under the second bed is now a store! Mind you, 'KIDS HAVE GROWN UP'.
It's high time you knew yourself and What God likes and what God hates. Don't doubt his words. His words shouldn't evaporate.
In the book of Mathew. .. Jesus asked: ' How do you call me? Through the holy spirit, Peter told him "You are a Messiah". Jesus then said ' You are blessed'.
What of you, How do u call him ? I know various answers like: A provider because he provided you and you are not lacking, A protector because he protected you, A saviour because you experienced it, A healer because you were healed , etc. You mention according to what the Lord has done for you.
Hallelujahhhhhhh
You should always converse with Christ and do good. Remember, whatsoever you do on Earth is being recorded.
Hallelujahhhhhhh
The scripture says "I have given u authority over scorpion and snakes."
Luke 10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you.
Mathew 7:7 says ask and you will be given. Knock and shall be opened.
Why are you not getting what you ask for ? Check your prayer life and you channel your requests to God. Persist, believe and be confident as you wait unto The lord. Repent and relate well with him. Others want to hear miracles but not God. Please, listen to God and follow his directions.
How is your life? Are you moving rightly ? Move a holy life and things shall happen.
You should remember that we have 2 kingdoms;- Darkness and HEAVEN. And we are fighting against the kingdom of darkness. With Christ, all things are possible.
Never do things on your own, you shall not make it. Move with Christ and you will.
Put the life of a sinner rightly. Preach to others the gospel so that their souls may be saved.
Jesus didn't struggle to fight devil. He could just speak and the lame walk, the blind sees, the deaf hears!
Excercise the faith and the words of God you know. Without these, you are wasting time. It's better not to waste time, get to the words
You are a child of God. He makes us overcome situations. Whether it being; House problems, rent, fees, jobs. He will because we have him.
Who love to risk in the things of God? Yes, when you decide to risk in the things of God, he backs you up!
Hallelujahhhhhhh
Never risk alone, you won't manage.
Start little and much more shall be given. Refuse the fear of failure. Risk with Jesus, raise your faith and believe. That's all.
God knew you before you were formed in the womb.
When you sit a child on the floor, you are very sure he/she won't fall. But take that child and sit him/her on the chair. You won't feel good. You feel unsecured. The reason is that 'you have started doubting and hence losing faith'. But on the floor, you were 100% extremely sure the child won't fall. You were 100% Faithful!
Oftentimes, things happen. But raise up your faith. You wouldn't have been born . But he Love you. I'm still reminding you that, "you were the sperm that succeeded". Anyway, I'm sorry for being a little vulgar but that's a reality of fact. You started succeeding long time but you couldn't realize.
You will continue succeeding in Jesus nà me!
God works, just know yourself.
Never be controlled by money, you are the one to control money. Do what God expects of you. Give what you have when it comes to that time of giving. God will bless your hand and make you resourceful.
Do you remember that woman who gave little but Jesus said she was the best? Yes, She had confidence and faith. A cheerful giver!
Faith moves mountains
What does the Bible say about you?
If it says you are wonderful, never disqualify yourself.
Psalm 45;11. Let people desire what God has put in you. If others don't love you, love yourself. He didn't make a mistake when creating you!
Someone insults you:- "your Legs are like sticks", tell that person that God loves it so so so so much.
**Fingerprints are different for each and every one. That's why God is supernatural.
Further reading _ Psalm 18;45.
Never make yourself weak. Otherwise, you may remain in that situation. God is with those who are happy BUT sadness, revenge, negative thoughts, bitterness, Disrespect just attract Devil to your life.
Pray and fast, you can change situations, get to know who you really are!
If the Bible says you can command obstacles like mountains to move, now, what of just these simple things?
Sometimes, Prayer is not answered because you have sins. God says David is his yet If you read David's story! ..... Wa la la la lala.
But David just repented! Do the same like him!
___________________________________________
Prayer;
Even you, just repent. Wonders shall come your way! Others know their sins but .... Can't repent!!!
Put yourself right to God first, then other things later! You created me for a reason . Thanks for this situation. But I know I will prosper.
Where you are is not where youare going. All of us are going somewhere in Jesus name!
What you see now Is not what will be there tomorrow. Let the future drive you but not your yesterday.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you
God bless you as you Discover yourself and what God says about you! Don't look back. Don't concentrate on your yesterday. Otherwise, you will miss a step.
Tell God that you are going forward in Jesus nà me! I pray and believe, AMEÑ.
