How to Keep Your Joy No Matter the Circumstance – Apostle Joshua Selman · Selah Media House

0:00
I'm teaching on the topic. I caption again I say rejoice.
0:05
Philippians chapter 4 and verse 4, again I say rejoice.
0:11
It's a prophetic service. It's an impartation service.
0:14
The Lord is going to be challenging us in the name of
0:18
Jesus. Philippians 4 and verse 4 says
0:22
Rejoice in the Lord. All way.
0:26
And again I say, rejoice, let's read together one to go.
0:30
Rejoice in the Lord all. Way.
0:35
Some of you are reading from your mind.
0:36
Look now and read what you see there.
0:38
Ready one to go. Rejoice in the Lord all way and
0:43
again. Now, the subject of joy is a
0:48
very cardinal subject as far as our Kingdom walk is concerned.
0:58
A walk in the Kingdom is like a vehicle is likened to a car and
1:02
a car has many components that make that car to move.
1:07
When you examine the reason why a car moves successfully, there
1:11
are many components to that car and sometimes some of the
1:14
components look a lot. More important than others?
1:18
For instance, you can have a great car, but if it does not
1:21
have a battery for not having a battery to start it, that car
1:25
may not move. It can have a battery and then
1:28
if it does not have safe fuel, your gas, the car will still not
1:33
move. And if it has gas and sometimes
1:36
you lose your key, but especially if it's not any other
1:41
device aside from the regular key that you turn, it will not
1:45
start. And sometimes the car can start
1:47
but no tires. It will start but not move.
1:50
Are we together? Sometimes you can have the
1:52
Kickstarter faulty tires are fine.
1:55
Every other thing is fine. So sometimes when you are
1:58
discussing the matters of the Kingdom, usually when we isolate
2:02
teachings because we zoom into them, they look like the most
2:07
important thing to focus on at that moment.
2:10
But in truth, every dimension of the Kingdom we focus on, we're
2:16
designed to work in synergy. Are we together in synergy?
2:20
So whether it is finances or we teach on character, or we teach
2:24
on love, we teach on spiritual intelligence, warfare.
2:28
All of these are likened to the various components that make
2:31
this vehicle called you this vehicle.
2:34
Called God's Program. To move successfully and like it
2:38
is for a car, some components look more important than others,
2:43
others look more visible than others, others look more
2:46
portable than others. But you'll be amazed sometimes
2:50
that the silliest of components that go missing it can.
2:53
Ground the whole car. And.
2:55
Some of them are. Easily detectable, especially
2:58
with modern cars. But some of them are not always
3:01
detectable. The mechanics have to go do a
3:04
search, check round, keep very fine, very fine until they
3:08
finally tell you. Was just a fuse.
3:10
Sometimes for for the the absence of a walking few certain
3:15
components in the car will not move.
3:18
And so discussing this very delicate subject is like that,
3:22
so that you pay very close attention to it, because there
3:25
are many believers. Once you are not talking of
3:27
demons and Satan and maybe money, nothing else is really
3:34
very important. Just tell me how to be free from
3:37
Satan. Tell me how to be rich and then
3:40
that's it any other thing I can manage on the go, but you need
3:44
to be sound in all of these dimensions.
3:46
Hallelujah Joel chapter one will read 11:50 Joel chapter 1 from
3:51
verse 11:50. Blessed be the name of the Lord
3:54
media. Let's work together Joel chapter
3:56
110 to 12 the Bible Let me pull it from here so that we make
4:03
progress. It says the.
4:04
The the field is. Wasted.
4:07
And the land monoth, it says, for the corn is wasted, and the
4:12
new wine is dried up, the oil languish.
4:15
At verse 11 it says, Be ashamed, O you husband, mend hall, O you
4:20
wine dressers for the wheat and for the valley, because the
4:24
harvest of the field is perished.
4:26
Why verse 2? The Bible?
4:28
Says the Vine. Is dried up and the fig tree
4:31
languish it, the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also and the
4:36
apple. Tree, even all the trees of the.
4:38
Field are withered for the simple reason that joy is
4:42
withered away from the sons of man.
4:45
So when joy is withered from the sons of man, many other things
4:49
go wrong spiritually, many other things go wrong physically, many
4:54
other things go wrong mentally, many other things go wrong even
4:58
financially. Joy seems to hold great value in
5:02
the spirit. It seems to be a very potent
5:04
force that empowers the. Believer to live and work.
5:08
Talk victoriously in Nehemiah chapter 8 and verse 10, the bee
5:13
part very popular scripture. Nehemiah chapter 8 and verse 10.
5:17
The bee party says for the joy of the Lord is your strength,
5:21
shout Amen. The joy of the Lord is your
5:25
strength. The joy of the Lord is your
5:27
strength. In Psalm 16 and verse 11 the
5:31
psalmist had this to say. He says Thou will show me the
5:35
path. Of.
5:35
Life then he says in thy presence is the fullness of joy,
5:40
and at thy right hand are pleasures forevermore.
5:44
Joy is represented in the presence of God.
5:47
Hallelujah. I think it's Isaiah chapter 12
5:50
if I'm not mistaken from verse three that says with.
5:53
Joy, shall you draw? Therefore with joy, yes.
5:57
Verse 3 Shall you draw? Water out of the.
5:59
Wells of salvation so salvation is likened to a well and that
6:04
you use the instrument of. Joy to draw the.
6:08
Riches that has come as a result of salvation.
6:12
I pray for you in the name of Jesus Christ, that everything
6:15
that has fought your. Joy, it gives way.
6:17
Tonight as you listen in the name of Jesus Christ.
6:21
In fact, I think first Peter chapter 1.
6:25
Let's try from verse three. First Peter chapter 1 from verse
6:29
three it says blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
6:33
Christ, which according to his abundant mercy had begotten us
6:37
again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ
6:41
from the dead. Let's continue.
6:43
There's something I'm looking for to the inheritance
6:45
incorruptible and undefiled that faded not a way reserved in
6:50
heaven for you. Next verse he says, you who are
6:53
kept by the. Power of God through.
6:56
Faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time
7:01
wearing, beautiful wearing. Ye greatly rejoice pay.
7:04
Attention now. Though now for a.
7:07
Season if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold
7:12
temptations. Verse 7 It says that the trial
7:15
of your faith been much more precious than gold.
7:18
That. Perisheth though it be tried
7:20
with fire might be. Found unto praise.
7:23
And honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
7:27
Let's shout verse 8 together. Ready one to read?
7:31
Whom have not seen ye love? In whom though now?
7:36
Ye see him not yet. Believe him, ye rejoice with joy
7:42
unspeakable. And full of glory, someone say I
7:46
will rejoice. Hallelujah.
7:49
Now, very quickly tonight my assignment.
7:52
Is to speak to two groups of people.
7:54
And please, I want you to lend me your attention.
7:56
There are two. Groups of people.
7:58
In this place tonight, there are two groups of people connected.
8:02
Across the globe. As far as this.
8:05

8:28
God, Psalm 34 and verse. Eight, let me deal with this
8:31
first. Group of people very quickly it.
8:33
Says all taste and. See that?
8:36

8:39
That trusted in him we can taste and we can see there are a
8:45
group. Of people who have.
8:46
Seen and have. Tasted of the goodness of God.
8:49
Psalm One, O 7. From verse 31 to 32.
8:55
Psalm One, O 7. All that man would praise the
9:01
Lord for his goodness. And for his?
9:04
Wonderful walks to. The Children of Men 32.
9:08
It says let them exalt him. Also in the congregation of the
9:12
people and praise him in the assembly of the elders there
9:15
are. Such people who have seen the
9:18
manifold walks of God, they have seen the hand of God in their.
9:22
Lives Psalm 30. Let's read 11 and 12 I'm dealing
9:26
with. Two groups of people.
9:27
Number one. Those who have seen.
9:30
And tasted of the goodness. Of God, he said, Thou has turned
9:33
for me. My morning into dancing thou has
9:36
put. Off my sackcloth and.
9:38
Guarded me with gladness, verse 12 to the end that my glory may
9:43
sing praise. Unto.
9:45
You and not be silent. Oh Lord my God, I will give
9:49
thanks unto you forever. Hallelujah.
9:54
There are such people. Genesis chapter 21 and verse. 6
9:58
has been their. Testimony, the Bible says.
10:00
And Sarah laughed and she said God had made me to.
10:04
Laugh and all that. Here will laugh with me.
10:07
The truth is that there are. Many, many people who have.
10:10
Experienced the wonder working power of God there.
10:13
Are people who are full of songs of deliverance songs, melodies
10:19
or breakthrough in diverse. Areas of their lives Hallelujah,
10:28
these are men and women who have.
10:30
Engaged the world. And have seen it work.
10:34
They have engaged the world, they put.
10:36
Their faith to work and they saw results.
10:40
These are men. And women who have.
10:41
Experienced increase across. Various areas of their lives and
10:45
for. Some on all sides.
10:49
They've engaged the world, they've seen it produced for
10:51
them. They.
10:53
Have experienced increase on all sides.
10:55
These are men and women who by grace and by God's mercies have
10:59
got. Their desires and expectations.
11:02
Met. Was that your praise song?
11:05
I've got. Joy, joy, joy.
11:09
What's the song Help Me? I've got joy, joy, joy, joy,
11:23
joy, joy, joy, joy, joy overflow in my.
11:32
Life that. Should be everybody's song, but
11:39
there are people who have really experienced that song for them.
11:43
It's not a special. Number Hallelujah.
11:45
They have seen their desires and expectations met.
11:50
These are people who have seen the performance of the world in
11:55
their lives. These are men and women who have
11:59
seen notable manifestations of God's power.
12:02
They know that. God is alive.
12:04
By experience they know that God is alive.
12:08
By the testimonies that have followed them, Group number one,
12:13
those who have seen and tasted of the goodness of God.
12:18
Listen ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you this.
12:20
God is a good God, and when people release their faith and
12:24
trust Him, His word works. I like the.
12:27
Testimony of the dear lady as she came to share with her
12:29
husband on discovering that she was pregnant and then the man
12:34
too confirmed it. He began to shout.
12:37
I don't know how he confirmed it, but he.
12:39
He confirmed it. That's the most important thing.
12:43
Hallelujah. It is a beautiful.
12:49
Thing to see God come through for someone.
12:51
If you have. Ever seen people suffer in this
12:54
life? The other side of suffering is
12:56
joy. Have you found yourself
12:58
rejoicing with someone? It's not your testimony, but
13:01
even you have prayed for a manifestation.
13:04
Of God's hand. And so when you see it happen,
13:07
you even begin to rejoice. Hallelujah.
13:12
It's a beautiful. Thing to share in the joy.
13:14
Of others, especially when you see God.
13:17
Move in their lives. So there are people who have
13:21
tested that dimension. Of God's.
13:23
Power this year. They have seen prophecy come to.
13:26
Pass in their lives. God has satisfied their.
13:31
Longings for such people I have a.
13:35
Charge for you tonight. Please listen.
13:37
I'm speaking to two groups. Of people.
13:38
Group number one. Those who have seen and tasted
13:42
the goodness. Of God and how?
13:44
This ministry belongs to that Drupal.
13:46
Group number one, We have seen the manifold hand of God.
13:50
We have seen the goodness. Of God.
13:54
Is that true? So here is the charge.
13:58
The. Charge for those people.
14:00
Number one. Meditate on his goodness.
14:04
And give. Him extravagant praise.
14:07
And thanks, this is my first charge to those people.
14:10
That you have seen God come through for you.
14:13
You pray and he answered and your hands obtain the answer.
14:17
The first charge for you is meditate.
14:21
Don't just start singing and saying thank you.
14:22
If you don't do it with understanding it will not be
14:25
real. Meditate on His goodness and
14:29
give Him extravagant praise and thanks.
14:35
When I think. Of the goodness of Jesus and all
14:40
he has done for me. My.
14:43
Very soul shall shout. Hallelujah, praise God for
14:49
saving me. When you.
14:54
Meditate on the goodness of God, how the school fees came, the
14:58
goodness of God, how you move from a tenant to a landlord, the
15:02
goodness of God, how joblessness of 10 years terminated,
15:07
barrenness of years and decades terminated.
15:10
It's important to count your blessings.
15:13
You really cannot be thankful until you apply intelligence to
15:17
it. Count your blessings, Hallelujah
15:21
that God who is able to take a man from a lowly state and place
15:25
that man to sit among Princess God for you when you think of
15:30
the goodness of God are. We together.
15:32
Some of you stepped into this city this year.
15:35
And you were? Moving around as.
15:37
If you were missing but. God himself began to settle you,
15:41
and look where you are right now, the mercy and the goodness
15:44
of God. How about those who got into
15:47
trouble? January 1 started with trouble.
15:50
You were already afraid, not even wanting February to come,
15:54
but you are still standing by. December giving God praise.
15:57
Not just managing to give God praise, you have evidences,
16:01
testaments of His goodness. Hallelujah to those people who
16:09
have enjoyed the messes of God that far.
16:12
Charge #1 meditate on his goodness.
16:16
And give him extravagant praise and thanks.
16:19
Not careless praise. Are we together?
16:22
That you think about the things that he has done.
16:25
You count your blessings, possibly.
16:28
Name them One by one and the hymn.
16:30
Writer says it will surprise you what God has.
16:33
Done #2 The. Second charge that I'm giving
16:39
this group of people who have really seen the mighty power of
16:43
God this year, allow your testimonies to build your faith
16:48
and your trust in God. Don't just waste your
16:50
experiences. Use your testimonies and your
16:53
results as a tool to further build your faith and your trust
16:58
in God. When David stood before Goliath,
17:02
David drew from the victories of yesterday.
17:05
He said God who delivered the lion, God who delivered the
17:09
beer. It is the same God who is going
17:12
to grant me victory over this uncircumcised Philistine.
17:17
Every time God does you good, every time God opens doors,
17:21
every time God lifts mountains away from your Rd. opens up
17:25
doors, break gates and bars and grants you entry to a higher
17:30
dimension of life and destiny. You must use allow your
17:35
testimonies to build your faith and your trust in God.
17:39
Look at this, Let me teach you something about God.
17:42
The higher God reveals His power and glory in your life, the
17:47
strict time he expects that you trust him.
17:49
If I if you understand. What I just said, are we
17:51
together now? Yes, there are.
17:54
Certain levels of distrust. If I show God now with respect
17:58
to my work with God, it is seen because the more you are exposed
18:03
to certain levels of His power, his bar of expectation over you
18:07
also grows. That means there are some cry.
18:10
You should not cry again. God will say, but I've tried for
18:13
you. I've shown you too much for you
18:15
to cry like someone who has never seen the.
18:17
Hand of God. There is a way an unbeliever
18:20
cries. There is a way baby Christian
18:22
who has not seen the hand of God cries.
18:24
And God will accommodate that limitation because they are yet
18:29
to build confidence. They are yet to taste and see.
18:32
But when you have journeyed with God a bit and you have seen His
18:35
faithfulness, that's why you can you can laugh even in the midst
18:38
of storms, because what He did yesterday, you are still drawing
18:42
from the residue of his faithfulness.
18:45
Are you learning now every? Manifestation of God's power.
18:50
Every answered prayer, every result must be converted as a
18:55
tool that builds your faith and builds your trust, Job said.
19:00
I'm in a situation that may not be favourable, but though he.
19:04
Slay me, I will trust. Him, He has done something for
19:07
me before. I may be in pain, but I have
19:09
that understanding. Who is learning now every time
19:12
God moves? In your life, don't.
19:14
Just celebrate and dance and rejoice.
19:16
Use the result. Are we together converted as a
19:21
tool to further build your faith?
19:30
Every time I see God move in this ministry in my life, I
19:34
return with gratitude. But then I further builds my
19:38
faith again that if he did it before, he's able to do it again
19:43
or if he started. It he's able to.
19:45
Finish. Is that all?
19:47
Yeah. So.
19:49
Number one for. Those who have seen the.
19:51
Mighty hand of God, meditate. On his goodness give.
19:55
Him extravagant praise and thanks to allow your testimonies
19:59
to. Build your faith.
20:00
And your. Trust in God #3 What is the
20:04
third charge to these ones who have seen God manifest His
20:08
power? In their lives, you.
20:09
Must testify to the goodness of God.
20:12
In the congregation of God's people.
20:14
Testify of God's goodness. It matters.
20:17
That you speak. It matters that you tell.
20:20
The world that he's alive. Through your life.
20:23
It. Matters that the world knows
20:25
through your life and through your testimony that he's a
20:28
restorer, that he's a deliverer, that he lifts men.
20:31
Indeed, do you know every testimony is a sermon?
20:35
To someone, every testimony there are people.
20:39
Who come to church and honestly speaking, even before the world
20:43
comes. Sometimes they are downcast,
20:46
discouraged. And here comes one testimony
20:49
with fire upon the altar, sometimes humorously
20:52
communicated. But while everybody is laughing,
20:55
someone is nodding and someone is even saying, Lord, I'm sorry
20:58
finally. I've gotten my word.
20:59
Even before the man of God comes, I've gotten my word this.
21:02
Is it? Every time you fail to testify
21:06
of God's goodness, you rob somebody an opportunity to see
21:09
what else God can do. Every time you fail to testify,
21:13
are we together? Do you know that the testimony
21:16
of Jesus, the Bible says, is the spirit of prophecy?
21:19
The meaning of that is that whilst people listen to you,
21:22
they are listening for the things that you did with God
21:25
that brought that result. Are we together?
21:28
It plans faith within their heart to go and replicate the
21:31
same thing. It's important to share, let the
21:38
world know the reason why we believe in Jesus.
21:41
Number one is because the Holy Spirit has dealt in every one of
21:46
us a measure of faith. But #2 the Bible is a compendium
21:50
of many workings of God. Are we together?
21:53
It is because of the miracles that are written.
21:56
We know that He's able to turn water to wine because we saw it.
21:59
It was documented. We were not there.
22:02
The Bible and says the things that are written are for time,
22:04
that they are written for our learning, our learning, our
22:10
learning. If you ask yourself, can God
22:13
come through for me financially? You go to the Bible.
22:16
Did he ever come through for someone as such?
22:18
Can God heal my body? He refers you to Hezekiah.
22:23
Are we together now? Is God able to restore?
22:26
He refers you to Job. Is God able to restore someone
22:29
who is backslidden and has gone left the way of the Lord?
22:32
He refers you to Samson. There is always a testimony in
22:37
the Bible, New Testament, Old Testament, the life of Jesus,
22:41
the life of the apostles. Are we together?
22:43
Now. So it's important to add your
22:47
own testimony to help build the faith and build the confidence
22:51
of God. 'S people.
22:53
Now I understand that sometimes because of the complexity of
22:57
certain testimonies and for security reasons, it is wise to
23:01
be able to manage how you share it.
23:03
That is, that is fine. Everything must be done in
23:05
wisdom. The Bible says wisdom is a
23:07
principal thing. Are we together?
23:12
There are some testimonies that is better to tell the man of
23:14
God. Let him pray for you quietly in
23:16
the. Office because a crowd.
23:19
Of people a global community is a mixed multitude when the sons
23:24
of God gathered, Satan was there in their.
23:26
Midst and God isolated him and said, What are you?
23:28
Doing here. Where are you coming?
23:29
From from toe and fro. Are we together so?
23:33
There are people truly who have gotten into trouble because they
23:36
testified. Our God gave me a great
23:40
breakthrough, and as I stand here right now, I.
23:43
Receive hundred or two. 100 million naira every month and
23:46
everybody just claps and someone says snap zoom that face.
23:52
Where did he say he stays? He said.
23:53
My house is not. Even far, just near CBN.
23:56
OK, that's right. And then by Monday, someone.
23:58
Comes and, says Calvary. Greetings, We are from Koinonia.
24:05
Our core value is. Love.
24:08
Oga, we're in trouble. We're in trouble.
24:11
Don't even. Start saying you don't have
24:12
money. We heard you.
24:14
We're. There first.
24:15
We came to congratulate you on behalf of our family.
24:18
Apostle can't reach you directly, but we're here on his
24:22
behalf and we have been taught that you don't see a man of God
24:26
empty handed. So sometimes quite honestly, for
24:31
the safety and security and the complexity, sometimes it's
24:35
really. Not just about money and fear.
24:37
But the sensitivity of the discussion it mandates.
24:40
That people manage with. Wisdom, but I'm speaking.
24:42
Generally that all. Other factors being constant.
24:46
It is a wise. Godly and profitable thing to
24:50
give thanks to the. Lord, in the midst of his
24:52
people, someone shout. I will testify.
24:56
That means you are. Prophesying that your testimony.
24:57
Should come in a hurry. Say it again, I will testify.
25:02
So you testify of the goodness of God.
25:06
The charge number 41 Meditate and give thanks to testify.
25:11
Allow your testimonies to build your faith. #3 testify of the
25:16
goodness. Of God, Are you ready for number
25:17
4? Use your results to draw many.
25:21
To. Jesus, you must use your results
25:25
to draw many to Jesus. Let me tell you the truth in the
25:29
Kingdom, eventually, regardless what God has done in your life,
25:35
regardless in what form or fashion it came, if it does not
25:39
translate to drawing many to Jesus, then your testimony and
25:44
your result did not hold great. Value in the Spirit Are we
25:47
together? So if you tell.
25:49
Me you bought. A car or.
25:50
You were promoted or you went abroad?
25:53
Great testimony. Congratulations.
25:55
But. You see the?
25:57
Profit point of that testimony is who comes to know Jesus as a
26:01
result of this? Whose life?
26:03
Is convinced, convicted and drawn to Jesus.
26:06
Daniel chapter 12 and verse. Three powerful.
26:08
Scripture the Bible says that they that.
26:11
Be wise. Shall shine like the.
26:13
Brightness of the firmament and they.
26:16
That turn many. Not you many to.
26:18
Righteousness they shall be as the scars forever.
26:22
I'm praying over someone in the name of Jesus, the kinds of
26:25
testimonies you begin to see from today.
26:28
Let it be so compelling it to draw multitudes to Jesus.
26:33
An example of this is found in John chapter 4.
26:36
So Jesus is at the well looking for a drink, and then he.
26:40
Meets a woman. Help that Lady, please.
26:42
And then he. Meets a woman at the well and
26:45
according. To that discussion, we know that
26:47
that woman. Had. 5 husbands and the one she
26:50
currently was with was not even her husband.
26:52
You can imagine that woman's situation now.
26:55
Jesus came to ask for a drink, historically the Samaritans.
27:00
And the Jews did not have anything in.
27:02
Common in those days. You could identify people by
27:06
their dialects, their accent or their dressing, their manner of
27:09
dressing. Would tell you if they were.
27:11
Jews, they were Gentiles or they were hedonistic people.
27:14
It was one of the ways you could identify them.
27:16
So the woman. Looks at Jesus and now Jesus.
27:19
Is asking for a drink and she surprise knowing.
27:22
That. Samaritans and Jews did.
27:23
Not have anything in common? Jesus, why are you?
27:25
Interested in my situation. Then they began to engage.
27:29
Eventually she discerned that he was a prophet and began to ask
27:33
him issues around matters of worship.
27:35
And Jesus said, where is your husband?
27:37
Go and call your husband said oh I have no husband 5.
27:40
Stories the 5th, 6th, 1 is. Not my husband.
27:43
And he said truly. You are sincere and.
27:45
The Bible says at the end of it, she left her water pots there
27:48
and she ran into the city and she announced to the people.
27:53
The Bible says she told the people, come see a man.
27:57
Hey. Come see a man testimony which
28:01
told me all things that I've ever done.
28:04
Is this not the Christ? Her testimony and her witness
28:07
was so compelling. The truth is that the people did
28:10
not take her seriously. Apparently they had concluded
28:13
that this woman, anytime you see her, she's not somebody to pay
28:16
attention to. But her witness was so
28:19
compelling. The.
28:20
Bible says they followed her and came to Jesus and now when they
28:24
listen to Jesus. You.
28:26
Know what they said? They said now we believe not
28:29
just because you told us. We have seen him, we have heard
28:32
him ourselves. So she drew them to Jesus.
28:36
Same thing happened with the madman in Gatherer.
28:40
He was delivered from a legion of devils and then the Bible
28:43
tells us that. He.
28:45
Went with Dicapolis, 10 cities single handedly as one man, 10
28:50
cities declaring the goodness of God.
28:53
It matters that people get to know Jesus.
28:56
It matters that they get to know he's a good God, that he's
28:59
faithful, and ultimately as many as can surrender their lives to
29:05
Jesus on account. Of your testimony, let me tell
29:08
you this. If you make a commitment that,
29:12
As for you souls, will continue to be worn through your
29:16
testimonies, then you have signed an agreement.
29:18
In the spirit for. An unending journey of science
29:22
and. Wonders I can tell.
29:24
You this for free. Everything that leads to the
29:28
salvation of souls, especially God is interested in it.
29:32
You don't need to ask if it's the will of God.
29:35
First Thessalonians chapter 2 and verse 4 already tells you
29:38
that God desires that all men be saved.
29:41
All men be saved. Is it?
29:43
Is it two or Second Thessalonians or First?
29:46
Please find it for me that all men be saved and that they come
29:49
on to the knowledge of the truth.
29:53
All men be saved and that they come on to the knowledge.
29:57
Chapter 2 and verse four. He has you once.
30:00
First Timothy, My. Apologies not Thessalonians
30:03
Timothy, First Timothy 24 who will have all men to be saved.
30:08
So there's no point asking. Lord, is it your will?
30:11
The only thing you need to ask is the timing and the strategy.
30:14
But whether or not it is the will of God, it is clearly
30:18
stated that it is God's desire. Does God want your boss to be
30:22
saved? Yes, Sir, your husband, Yes Sir,
30:26
your wife, Yes, your children, Yes.
30:30
He desires that all men be saved and that they come on to the
30:33
knowledge of the truth. That means every evidence he
30:37
needs to lavish in your life that will cause you to have
30:40
great witness or greater witness and can tell you that the God of
30:45
heaven will be glad. To make that happen.
30:47
Acts Chapter 4. And verse 33.
30:49
It says with great power, give the apostles witness of the
30:53
resurrection. Of the Lord Jesus and great
30:56
grace. Was upon them all for the sake
31:02
of many who need to be. Saved, I'm praying.
31:04
For you in. The name of Jesus.
31:06
Christ, may your life be an unending flow of testimonies.
31:12
I was so touched by the testimony.
31:15
Of our dear our dear sister. That Lady who came to share,
31:19
Hallelujah, very powerful. Testimony.
31:23
Look. The kind.
31:24
Of life. And in one moment.
31:26
Sitting. In her room, encountered.
31:28
The power and the glory of God. And that began a journey to
31:31
transformation. This is Jesus for you.
31:33
Are we together now? Imagine how many other people
31:37
are in the loins of prophecy waiting for your testimony.
