Sermon Note
Pastor Prince
The Holy Spirit is in all of us. We get baptised in the holy spirit.
The anointing within.
The anointing upon. – this is for ministry
The preachers have anointing within but not all has anointing upon.
You better have anointing upon when you are in ministry.
This is by the spirit of things that will speak to people.
Be praying for your pastors always.
We are called to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Material things don’t satisfy.
The Lord is my Shepherd i shall not lack.
We don’t miss out the good things in life. Our hearts is not in it anymore.
We are a channel of blessings!
You are receiving as a reservoir and become a channel. There is no limit how the Lord can go through you. He can get through you and to you!
Don’t put your trust in your wealth.
You prosper God’s way!
How God paralleled His Word with the land of Israel.

The bible has stood the test of time.
The land itself has amazing lessons for us.
There are a lot of similarities between The land and the book

For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.

Rain out of due season can destroy the harvest. Can cause the flood.
It is God that gives you the rain.

Jesus rose from the dead!
He revealed Himself to a woman and after her was Peter.
The disciples at Emmaus were discouraged before they spoke to Jesus because they took their eyes off the Lord

More than 500 people saw Him physically.
How do you get yourself out of discouragement?
Bible. Jesus began to expound things concerning Himself in this book.

Fountain to quench your thirst.

Then he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir (formerly the name of Debir was Kirjath Sepher).
And Caleb said, “He who attacks Kirjath Sepher and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife.” So Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.

Anointing upon comes and goes – for ministering
Ask for both. Upper spring and lower spring
