11For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
This is God’s word for you in this season of miracles. No Good things will he withhold from his beloved. He will remember you like he remembered Rachel. It means your season of blessing has come. Our part is to praise God and not focus on problems. We also must live Right – according to the Word of God.
Seek God’s favour and mercy to live right.
The psalmist says – one day in House of God is worth more than thousands of days elsewhere. Seek his presence and choose to be in House of God over other conflicting demands in life.
Pastor Rachel sermon
Our help co.es from God (Psalms121)
Faith into action
14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
Look at Abraham’s example- how he offered Isaac as sacrifice trusting God
Meditate on God’s promise to Abraham in Genesis 12
Likewise Rahab also acted in faith when she helped the spies from Israel during the times of Joshua ( Joshua 2,6)
Have you experienced the wonder working God in your life. He is a God who loves you with an everlasting love.
God says – I will perfect all things concerning your life. No Human being decides your life. It is God who reigns and rules over your life.
Be joyful in the Lord. The joy of the Lord is your strength
No man decides your life. God is in-charge
I am your God and you are my people. This country is God’s own country- a Land flowing with milk and honey. God reign in this land. Let there be a holy anger and zeal for the House of the Lord.
Take authority against Spirits that are working against the Word of God. Pray without ceasing.
Daniel had an excellent spirit. He shone the light of God in a foreign nation that didn’t know God.
Pray for the salvation of your intimate family and your parents and siblings.
Give Jesus and share Jesus to others through your life.
Make God’s agenda as your life and reveal God through your life. God wants to move in your family through your power of prayer.
Praay for the Church to be not deceived – and have the spirit of discernment to know what is not in line with God’s word.
Numbers 23:19-24
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? 20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. 21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. 22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. 23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! 24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
Meditate on Acts 12 – The deliverance of Peter from Prison doors as the Church prayed…
The Lord is on your Side. Everything that the Lord spoke concerning your life, He will make it good.,
Today, the Spirit of God wants to talk about your mind., It’s all about your mind.
Bring your thoughts to the subjection of the Holy Spirit. Tell your mind that nothing is too difficult for Thee. Nothing is impossible for our Lord.
The Battle is in your Mind.
It is not by Might, not by sipirt but by your mind,. Every mountain shall be removed. God is spirit. Our Spirit needs to connect with God’s spirit.
Zechariah 4:6
Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty. Get you mind focussed on God’s word. God says- tell the congregation that their minds are being attacked.
Meditate on John 3:16- God loved the world, so nullify the thought that God doesn’t love you. That thought is not from God.
Matthew 24:8-12;13-14
All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Donot let your hearts and your zeal for God turn cold.

1 Corinthians 2:10-12
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

We are gathered here today- to give thanks to the LORD. We are thankful for all he has done.
We thank you Lord for the Cross ; thank you for the blood and the price paid for our sins and for eternal redemption. We thank God for the HOPE to be with HIM eternally
You are in a Season of Hope
