Sermon note (3rd svc)
Pastor Prince
God can cause all things to work together for your good. Small things and big things.
Statistics of people who live long are those who attend church on sunday.
Isn’t that good news? Solomon said the fear of the Lord prolongs days
There are things you can do to prolong your lives and things you do that will shorten your lives.
Living long on the earth when you honour your parents.
Worship the Lord prolongs your days.
The fear of the Lord prolongs day.
We are made in God’s image.
Sin is coming short of the glory of God.
God makes you beautiful.
God hates death.
Jesus conquered death for all of us.
Believers don’t die. They fall asleep.
Believers whose hearts stop beating, first thing they feel is they are so alive.
The Lord came to conquer death. Death is never part of God’s plan.
God saw darkness and He said light be and light was.
God spoke God said and it was.
God spoke the dry land to appear and God saw it was good.
All the way until God made man. A part of Himself He breathed into man and man become living soul.
God called what He wanted. God said light be and light was!
Call yourself well and healed!
Jesus does not call it as it is.
Faith is calling forth what you want to see.
Whatever you can see is temporarily
The Lord is my shepherd, i will not lack.
You can see the tumours the chart, all u can see is temporarily. What you cannot see is eternal.
A body you can touch and feel. Touch Me. A ghost does not have flesh and bones.
Speak good into your future.
The power of life and death is in the tongue.
You don’t say you are “dying” for the piece of cake.
Don’t speak death. Speak life into the situation.
U can speak death to your tumour and death to the root of it.
Jacob had 12 sons. 12 is the numbers of government.
The father laid hands on his 12 sons.
Genesis 49:1
Jacob’s Last Words to His Sons
And Jacob called his sons and said, “Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days:
The life of the flesh is in the blood
Job said He hangs the earth on nothing.
Job was the oldest book in the bible. Bible is more advance than you think
When Jesus ascended, He was at Bethany
He ascended blessing His disciples.
God remembered His promises.
Those 10 who said they cannot go in, they could not go in. But the 2 who said they can, they went in!
Acts 1:9-11
Jesus Ascends to Heaven
(Mark 16:19, 20; Luke 24:50–53)
Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”
Believe only and shield will come around
Believe only and you will see your medical report shines with glory.
Believe only and don’t be afraid.
By all outward experiences there is reason to be afraid, believe only and don’t be afraid.
He is still the same Jesus.
The same ℓσνє.
This same Jesus will so come in light manner as you saw Him went to heaven.
In the rapture He will just descend and call us
The catching away of the bride. We will be called up to meet the Lord. Our bodies will be changed.
He could appear and reappear. We will travel faster than the speed of light.
Death has no more sting.
Jesus conquered death.
The Lord Himself shall come. So come in like manner. He went up bodily and He will come back bodily.
Our heavenly Joseph came and sit by the well.
Prophesy of John 4
Genesis 49:19-22
“Gad, a troop shall tramp upon him,
But he shall triumph at last.
“Bread from Asher shall be rich,
And he shall yield royal dainties.
“Naphtali is a deer let loose;
He uses beautiful words.
“Joseph is a fruitful bough,
A fruitful bough by a well;
His branches run over the wall.
When Jesus asked the demonic man his name and he said his name was legion.
Jesus did 2/3 of His miracles in Naphtali.
Every time you see Jesus, something good happen to you.
As Jesus is righteous, so are we in this world.
We are member of His flesh and of His bones.
Jesus does not have lumps in His breast, so are we in this world.
Holy Spirit comes and glorify one name, Jesus! The holy spirit needs the material of Jesus to work transformation in you.
From sickness to health.
Behold Jesus.
Today we are transformed not by strife.
By beholding the glory of the Lord, from glory to glory.
The spirit of the Lord transform us.
Behold.
See the salvation of the Lord. See Yeshua.
As long as your eyes are on Jesus, you see the supernatural
Reuben was the firstborn.
Genesis 49:3-4
“Reuben, you are my firstborn,
My might and the beginning of my strength,
The excellency of dignity and the excellency of power.
Unstable as water, you shall not excel,
Because you went up to your father’s bed;
Then you defiled it—
He went up to my couch.
Reuben could control himself.
Unstable as water.
These 12 sons had one sister
Jacob had 12 sons and 1 daughter
Many heroes came from the tribe of Judah
Always Judah goes up first.
When you feel you are under attack, praise go up first.
The devil cannot do anything to a praising Christian.
The people of Judah was not as big
We have no might or strength to come upon the army, but our eyes are upon You.
God loves this prayer.
Don’t need to fight in this battle.
Go forth, meet them.
Praise the Lord for He is good. His mercy endures forever!
Praise Him, He is good.
The valley of your attack becomes the valley of blessing, when you learn to praise
The captain of the tribe of Judah
God is waiting for someone to have faith.
The priest had to touch it first.
God is waiting for the first person to move.
Cast your net and they threw the net.
You obey the Lord and the miracle happened.
Judah the power of praise
Judah always lead.
They are always looking at the sunrise.
Bad things happen but you always see the sunrise.
Praise Jesus in the midst of your valley
Testimony-
A father has a daughter who is under serious mental illness. He did all he could and nothing works. He went to see his daughter weekly.
He asked Jesus. Jesus told him praise Him. He could not imagine praising Him in this situation. However Jesus said praise Him.
Finally this father praised Him despite the situation knowing He is in control.
The daughter could not recognise his father for long time. Finally when this father praise Jesus knowing He is in control but not the One who caused it, his daughter screamed and said wanted her father!
She rushed to hug him and she recovered completely!
Praise the Lord knowing He is in control.
There is power in praise.
In everything give thanks.
Flag of Judah is lion!
Symbol of the tiny red dot is Singa!
Jesus the lion of the tribe of Judah
The power of praise
Shiloh – tranquility or rest
Genesis 49:8-12
“Judah, you are he whom your brothers shall praise;
Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;
Your father’s children shall bow down before you.
Judah is a lion’s whelp;
From the prey, my son, you have gone up.
He bows down, he lies down as a lion;
And as a lion, who shall rouse him?
The scepter shall not depart from Judah,
Nor a lawgiver from between his feet,
Until Shiloh comes;
And to Him shall be the obedience of the people.
Binding his donkey to the vine,
And his donkey’s colt to the choice vine,
He washed his garments in wine,
And his clothes in the blood of grapes.
His eyes are darker than wine,
And his teeth whiter than milk.
A shepherd holding the stuff. He is a shepherd king.
King Solomon to Jesus. All are recorded. The King of Judah the King of Israel is the Lord Jesus Christ.
First coming –
On the very same day, Jesus rode on donkey.
He will come as conqueror.
This time He comes in white horse.
Your vine is like picture of blessings from the Lord.
Vine is where you get grapes and wine.
The vine that produces the grape has no trunk.
The vine is made up of many branches.
Trellis is in the shape of a cross.
The blessing is such that our vine, so thick and so full of sap and favour, even a donkey tied to it, cannot be pulled away.
The idea of abundance quality wine
A miracle of luxury – first miracle of turning water to wine.
A miracle and a sign. He is the Lord of time.
The time you get grape is 4 years after planting. It is better to wait more years for better wine.
In the first miracle, Jesus demonstrated He is the Lord of time.
A noble man came to Jesus and asked the Lord for healing of his son. His son was at the other side of the world.
This is second miracle. He is the Lord of space. There is no distance.
Genesis 49:27
“Benjamin is a ravenous wolf;
In the morning he shall devour the prey,
And at night he shall divide the spoil.”
Paul came from the tribe of Benjamin.
Paul wrote 3/4 of the New Testament
You must be delivered from the fear of people to help people.
Acts 26:6-15
And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers. To this promise our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God night and day, hope to attain. For this hope’s sake, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews. Why should it be thought incredible by you that God raises the dead?
“Indeed, I myself thought I must do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. This I also did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them. And I punished them often in every synagogue and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
Paul Recounts His Conversion
(Acts 9:1–19; 22:6–16)
“While thus occupied, as I journeyed to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, at midday, O king, along the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who journeyed with me. And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ So I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Acts 26:27-32
King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you do believe.”
Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You almost persuade me to become a Christian.”
And Paul said, “I would to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these chains.”
When he had said these things, the king stood up, as well as the governor and Bernice and those who sat with them; and when they had gone aside, they talked among themselves, saying, “This man is doing nothing deserving of death or chains.”
Then Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Matthew 4:13-16
And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles:
The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light,
And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death
Light has dawned.”
Jesus dwelled in Zebulun
Peter’s boat was uncovered after 2000 years. When they uncovered it, there was double rainbow.
They fish the whole night but they caught nothing.
In the morning they saw a man walking and thought he was merchant.
He asked,” children have you caught any fish”
They said none and He asked them to cast their nets on the right side.
Jesus prepared warm food for them.
This is the way Jesus presented Himself.
He cares when your business is not making any profit.
He cares when you are hungry and He has prepared food for you.
There is warmth for your coldness. Your state of being.
They were hungry and fish was already cooked.
To the one who failed the most, Peter.
Peter, feed My sheep.
Jesus cares for us spirit soul and body. He not only cares for us, He has the power to meet our needs!
He loves us spirit soul body! He will meet your needs!
Give Him praise!
