Receive Your Blessing

Anything that we receive from the Lord, we need to receive from His word. There is nothing that we can receive from the Lord other than His word......

December 1, 2024

Anything that we receive from the Lord, we need to receive from His word. There is nothing that we can receive from the Lord other than His word. Yes. See, you can have an experience of the burning bush. You can have an experience of a bright light or even a big angel coming to you. But it’s not about the burning bush. It’s not about the bright light. It’s not about the angel. It’s about the word that it brings forth. So if you have God’s word, you are the richest people on the face of the earth. I’ve been to places where there’s a famine of God’s word, and I tell you, you don’t want to be there.

Yeah. You’re so blessed to have God’s word. And every Sunday, you’re receiving fresh rhema from the Lord. There’s no greater privilege than this. Amen. See, you and I have been clothed with the power and authority of Jesus. Power comes by staying in His presence through prayer. But authority comes from His word. So when we have a prayerful life but have no word, we are people of power, but we don’t know how to use that power. That’s why we need to be engrossed in the word. You know, I used to tell a story every time I go for youth meetings. There’s this one common story that I share. And if you have heard this, listen to it again—it’s good for you.

There was a king who had two sons. The youngest son, when he was two years old, gets kidnapped, and the kidnapper puts him outside a beggar’s house. Now the beggar receives the child and adopts him as his son. Now, this beggar can only teach what he knows. The beggar is well-versed, has a Ph.D. in begging. Wait before you laugh at the beggar, okay? Wait, because you’ll relate to the story.

So the beggar teaches this child, who is the prince but does not know that he’s a prince. He teaches him begging. So this beggar—the son, this prince—goes every day outside the temple gates because a lot of people pass through the temple gates. So he goes outside the temple gates, sits there, and begs. He was not born a beggar; he was born a prince. But now, see the sad thing: he is outside the temple begging. But the older brother somehow finds him outside the temple. He finds him, and by the time he does, this guy is 18 years old. So this younger son, who’s a prince, has been begging for the last 16 years. He has no memory of the palace. He has no memory of his brother. He has no idea of his father. He has no understanding of the royal customs and systems.

Now, just because someone says, “You know who looks rich?” and says, “You are my brother,” he accepts it because, wow, upgrade—it’s like a lottery. So he goes to the palace with the brother. The younger brother is not going back because he has a sudden revelation of his royalty, his princehood, or his sonship. No, no. He’s just going there to upgrade his life. At least he thought, “At least I’ll have a tandori, you know, every day.” So he goes to the palace, and the elder brother shows him. The father shows him the entire magnificence of the palace and then takes him to his throne and tells him, “This is your throne. When you sit here and rule, whatever you say shall be established for you.”

Now, the older brother is thinking, “Man, my job is done.” For 16 years, he’s been searching for his younger brother. Finally, he’s found him and restored him back to the palace. Now, what else needs to be done? He’s done. That night, he sleeps peacefully with excitement that in the morning, he will rule the kingdom with his younger brother. So in the morning, he gets up, excited, and walks into the throne room of his younger brother. He finds the younger brother on the throne. But the weird scene he finds is that the younger brother is seated on the throne but in the posture of begging.

Why? Because for the last 16 years, for his entire lifetime, he has only known how to beg. So just because someone has now called him a prince, he can’t unlearn what he has learned for the last 16 years.

Yes. Ephesians 2:6 says

Ephesians 2:6and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

We are all seated with Christ. Jesus is our elder brother who has restored us from the pit. Amen. You’ve been delivered from hell—not just delivered from hell onto earth. God has delivered you from hell and has given you the highest position ever. 

But sadly, most Christians are on the throne but still begging. Still begging. And most of us call that prayer. This is what I wanted. Silence. Prayer is not for begging. You are a son. What you want, you can take by declaring and by claiming your authority because you are seated on the throne with Jesus. Luke 15—the story of the elder brother. He comes back very upset because his youngest brother has come home, and there’s a party. The father says, “Hey, don’t be upset. Whatever is mine is yours.”

See, you don’t know the backstory. That’s why you don’t get the deep revelation of it, okay? You need the backstory. You have to read between the lines. So, when these two children were small—now I’m going to Luke 15—the father brought a young calf home. You know what a young calf is, right? They celebrated the young calf, and the father said, “The day we have a big party, we will cut the calf for the party.”

Now, when the youngest son came home, the father said, “Bring the fattened calf.” Who do you think was the most upset? The fattened calf. I wonder how depressed it was, waiting for its D-Day. So, the older brother, when he comes back and gets to know that the fattened calf has been killed, gets upset because he was planning a party with his friends, and the father used that calf.

So he complains to the father, “You’ve never even given me a young goat!” You know, there are times when you want something from your parents, but you’re too proud to ask. Then, when your parents give that gift to your sibling, you get upset.

Now, if you can’t relate, I was like that, okay? I used to go to shops with my parents, and they’d ask me, “Do you want this? Do you want that?” And I’d be like, “No, I don’t want anything,” because, you know, I’m the oldest son. I thought I needed to be responsible. “Who will look after their money?” I’d think. “I know about the bank balance.” So I’d say, “Not needed.” But then they’d ask my younger sister, and she’d buy everything. And I’d get angry. First, I’d get angry at her: “How come she’s so insensitive?” Then, I’d get angry at my parents: “How could they do this?” The whole time, going back home, I’d be upset. Most of our Christian lives are like that. We see somebody else getting blessed, and we get upset. I know people who’ve gotten offended after coming to this church because they heard numerous testimonies but didn’t see the same breakthroughs in their own lives. But they’re too proud to admit it. Everyone else is getting promoted, and you feel left out. But listen, when somebody experiences a breakthrough, we need to celebrate it. Because when we celebrate their breakthrough, it becomes our breakthrough. We’re all part of the same body! When you’re enjoying a wonderful biryani, your mouth is tasting it, but your entire body is experiencing it. Your leg doesn’t get jealous! We are one in Christ. Your breakthrough is my breakthrough; my breakthrough is your breakthrough.

So, when we celebrate with each other, their breakthrough flows into our lives. That’s why the father told the older brother, “Everything that I have is yours.” And I want to declare this over your life: Everything that the Father has is yours. Stop complaining. Stop feeling jealous. Stop whining. Learn how to receive! Do you know what stops us from receiving? Pride. Like me, when I was growing up—I was so proud to receive. No. Just receive. Throw your pride off and receive. 

Everything that God has is yours. Today, I’m going to teach you how to receive from God. How can you receive His blessings? There is no greater blessing than the blessing whose name is Jesus. In the blessing of Jesus, we have all blessings. All the blessings. All the blessings. Say it with me: all the blessings. All the blessings are in the blessing, Jesus. But we need to learn how to receive the blessings from this blessing—Jesus.

Before Jesus was known as Jesus, His name was the Word of God, and the Word became flesh.

John 1:14And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

That means the Word can become anything that you need in your life. This Word can become your healing. This Word can become your deliverance. This Word can become your provision. This Word can become anything that you need. 

See, when we have stomach pain, we take a bunch of pills, or for any other sickness, we take medicine. Where are these pills coming from? They come from plants or the earth, right? And where did the plants and earth come from? They came from God’s Word. Everything that is created has come out of God’s Word. If medicine can give you relief from pain, then the same Word of God can also relieve your pain without side effects.

How many of you want gold? How was gold created? God’s Word! If His Word can create gold, don’t you think His Word can become your provision?

Understand this: the Word gives, but before the Word gives, the Word needs a channel through which it gives. Meaning, before the Word can give you what you are hoping for, it requires a “womb” to deliver what you’re believing for. When God spoke the Word to the waters, fish came. The Word was the seed, and the waters were the womb. When God spoke the Word to the sky, birds came. When He spoke the Word to the earth, animals came.

So, whenever you release God’s Word, it requires a “womb” to conceive it. Amen! Any breakthrough, miracle, or healing you are praying for happens when your heart becomes the womb that receives the Word. That’s why healing in your body will not happen until healing happens in your heart. Prosperity will not manifest until it first hits your heart. 

Proverbs 23:7For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

God cannot give you something if He cannot get it through you. For example, a mother praying for a child doesn’t expect the child to fall from the sky. No. She conceives a child in her womb. Similarly, anything you are believing for won’t come from “out there.” It comes from within because the Word is the seed, and your heart is the womb.

If you understand this, you can receive anything from God’s Word. Conceive it, become pregnant with it, and deliver it into your life.

Do you know there are thousands of promises in the Bible—for your health, your family, your business, or anything you need? But these promises must move from the Bible into your heart. As long as they remain in the Bible, they will do you no good. You can sleep with the Bible, but it won’t help. The devil can still come and steal. The seed must come into your heart because when the seed comes in contact with the womb, conception happens. 

What are you believing for? Healing? Prosperity? Provision? Purpose? Clarity? A spouse? Whatever you need, if the Word cannot deliver it to you, no one else can. If there’s something you want that cannot happen through the Word, it’s not meant to be yours.

Someone might give you ten lakh rupees, but if that provision didn’t come from the Word and faith in the Word, that money will soon finish. And then what? You’ll cry again and go back to praying. Many Christians live like this—praying for God’s mercy and going from one breakthrough to another. Yes, that’s the mercy of God. He won’t let you perish. But His mercy is also there to teach you how the Word works.

You might think you’ve been patient with God, but the Lord has been patient with you. We pray things like, “Oh Lord, accelerate my life.” And God answers that prayer by sending someone—a man or woman who has gone ahead of you—to teach and guide you. But many of us expect God to use a “time machine” to accelerate us directly. That’s why, when God sends someone to help, we often reject them because their methods don’t align with our thinking. This is why I read books. Why? Because an author compiles 40 years of experience in God’s presence into a few hundred pages. By reading it, my life can be accelerated. As soon as I finish that book, I’m telling you, you are not just arrogant—you are stupid if you say, “I only read the Bible.” Because there are certain things God teaches you personally, but there are also things God teaches through people.

Jesus said, “I will give you the Holy Spirit, and He will teach you all things” (John 14:26). But He also said, “I have given the church the fivefold ministry—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers”.

Ephesians 4:11-12And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,

Why would we need the fivefold ministry if we already have the Holy Spirit? So that it will challenge your mindset! God, in His wisdom, limits Himself from revealing certain things directly to you, so that you must learn through others. Amen! Why? So you won’t get puffed up with pride, thinking, “In my quiet time, I got this amazing revelation!” This way, God humbles us and keeps us dependent on one another.

Now, the first principle is that the Word, which is the seed, requires the womb, which is our heart. To experience fruitfulness, we must become pregnant with the Word!

Look at Mary in Luke 1:35. When the angel came to her and announced that she would have a child, she was likely only 16 years old. She was engaged to Joseph but not yet married. For Mary, this sounded impossible, so she asked, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” The angel replied:

Luke 1:35 – “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore, the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.”

With the power of the Holy Spirit, Mary became pregnant with the Word!

You see, many people don’t see the result of the Word because they are waiting for an intellectual high. You know, that “aha!” moment? We’ve become revelation junkies—chasing new insights and moving from one revelation to another. When you hear the same verses or teachings, you think, “Oh, the pastor spoke the same thing last week.” But the Word is not for your intellect—it’s for your spirit. Your body came from the earth, so it requires food from the earth. But you are not your body; you are a spirit being. And your spirit, which comes from God’s Word, requires God’s Word for food and nourishment. So don’t just seek an intellectual experience—seek to receive the Word in your spirit. Let’s return to Mary. She conceived the Word (Jesus) because the Holy Spirit overshadowed her. Without the power of the Holy Spirit, no one can conceive the Word.

Genesis 1:2“The earth was formless and void, and darkness covered the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.” 

Why was the Holy Spirit hovering? So He could consume the Word and bring it to life! When God said, “Let there be light,” the Holy Spirit caused light to come forth. Similarly, when the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary, she conceived.

So when you’re listening to the Word, you need the Holy Spirit to overshadow you so that the Word can be received in your heart. Stop being intellectual junkies! The best way to receive the Word is through prayer. Right now, as you sit in an attitude of prayer, you are allowing the Holy Spirit to overshadow you. When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, the spoken Word becomes conceived within you. 

You would hardly find me listening to the Word without praying. Pray in tongues! Pray in tongues because this allows the Holy Spirit to overshadow you. Why is this important? Because you are listening to the things of the Spirit. Even if it doesn’t make sense to your mind—even if your intellect grows tired of hearing the same repeated message—when the Holy Spirit overshadows you, something supernatural happens. You are becoming pregnant with the Word!
Don’t wait and get disappointed if you don’t get an intellectual high thinking, “Pastor, teach me something new, something theological, something groundbreaking.” Instead, receive the Word in your spirit. When you receive it in your spirit by faith, you become pregnant with the Word.

You can get pregnant with your job offer. You can get pregnant with your double promotion. You can even get pregnant for a bigger church hall. This very church hall you see now—it came out of me, birthed by faith. Faith in His Word.

During a fasting prayer, God gave us a Word: 

Deuteronomy 1:8 – “See, I have set the land before you. Go in and take possession.” 

That Word became a seed in my heart. I received it. At the time, we only had 10,000 rupees. We sowed it. Within two months, that seed grew—bigger, bigger, bigger—and one day it delivered. That’s when we inaugurated this hall.

The Word is a seed. Your heart is the womb. But you cannot conceive the Word unless the Holy Spirit overshadows you. That’s why there’s a time of preparation to receive the Word. That’s why we worship! Worship softens the soil of your heart so it can receive the seed of the Word. Worship time isn’t just a filler or a time for latecomers. No! It’s when the ground of your heart is being broken, tilled, and prepared to receive. When the Holy Spirit overshadows you, that’s when you get pregnant with the Word. Before you hear the Word, stir up your spirit. Allow the Holy Spirit to overshadow you.

What Do You Do After Receiving the Word?

Look at Luke 1:38. After the angel explained how Mary would conceive, what did she say? 

Luke 1:38 – “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.”

When the Holy Spirit releases His Word into your heart, respond like Mary: “Let it be to me according to Your Word.” Don’t let your mind interfere with your faith.

Your mind might say, “How will this happen? I don’t even have an MBA. How can I start a business? I just got a promotion—how can I believe for another?” It doesn’t have to make sense to your mind. Faith doesn’t rely on logic. A natural mind cannot understand spiritual things.

1 Corinthians 2:14The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

Think about this: If I asked you to calculate 999 x 111, would you stubbornly try to do it in your mind for hours, or would you use a calculator? So, why are you trying to process God’s Word with your mind instead of using faith?

Let your mind doubt, but let your heart believe. A doubtful mind is fine, as long as you have a believing heart. How do you prove a believing heart? By your words. “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks” .

Even if your mind says it’s impossible, let your mouth declare God’s promises. That’s when you take authority over your mind with your spirit.

James 3:2 – “The one who can bridle his tongue is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body”

So remove the how part. How will it be done? That is not for you. Because if God begins to explain how it’ll be done, your mind will go crazy. You receive it by faith. Agree with the word, say yes. Amen. Okay. So the first thing is you become pregnant after the Holy Spirit overshadows you. The second thing is you agree with the word. You say yes. Amen. Amen. Now see, see, I’ll show you over verse Luke 1:45. This is Elizabeth, Mary’s cousin. Look at what she says. She says, 

Luke 1:45 – “Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.” 

If you believe on what God says, God will perform the word. You will not perform the word. God will perform the word. It is God’s responsibility to perform the word. You know, to Jeremiah, God says in Jeremiah 1:11-12, he said, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.”

Jeremiah 1:11-12 – And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see an almond branch.”Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.”

So the word that you have received now, God is watching over that word to perform it. Amen.

See, let me give you an example. How? How do you practically apply this? So you are struggling with anger issues, struggling with the anger issues. You know, you get very cranky, very easily. You’re very touchy, the touch uncle, you know, who gets who snaps very easily. So how do you overcome such a behavior? So for example, you take a scripture from Galatians 5:22, which says the fruit of the Spirit is love. The fruit of the Spirit is love. So you take that scripture. Now, this is what happens. The fruit of the Spirit is love. I need to be love. I need to be loving. I need to be loving. So when the pressure is on, it will drive you crazy. The next person just brushes past you. You are like, you’ve released your anger. Why? Because you have not let God perform the word. You are trying to perform the word. Your job is not to perform the word. It is His job to perform the word.

See, a lot of times we misunderstand James 1:22, where it talks about being a doer of the word. How can you become a doer unless you become the word? You have to become the word to become the doer. So before it actually matures, that seed matures to become the word in you, if you try to perform it, you are going to fail. And it’s okay, pastor, I did everything. I’m declaring it’s not working. I’m still getting angry. Yeah, because you are not letting God perform the word; you are performing it, and that’s why you’re getting burnt out. So, that means, what is my responsibility then? Going back to the word, keep hearing the word again. Letting the Holy Spirit overshadow you. Go back to the word, amen. Unless the word does not take flesh within you, keep going back to the word. Keep going back to the word. You get angry, forgive yourself. Ask the other person to forgive you and get back to the word. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace. Get back to the word. Get back to the word. As you keep getting back to the word, the word that is in seed form will start developing and eventually, eventually, a person can purposely come to take you off and you don’t get ticked off. Why? Because now the word has taken flesh.

That’s why every promise of God requires faith and patience. It’s like, you know, you sowed an apple seed in the garden. You don’t expect in the morning to see a big tree. It takes time, but during the time, what do you do? You water it. So once you are conceived with the word, you water it because what? The word also has a water dimension. I’ve shown you this before. When it says “Wives, submit to your husbands, as to the washing of the word,” the word has the effect of washing, which is the effect of water.

So first thing is be conceived by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit. Second, agree with the word. Don’t let your mind come in between. And third, keep watering the word. The word will keep growing, growing, growing, and one day you will not even realize, man, how did I end up here? I wish I had known this truth much, much, much earlier in my life. I only knew this since 12 years, but I’m telling you, the growth that I have seen in my life, in every dimension, in every sphere, is much more than all my years combined.

This is the secret to the supernatural. Get pregnant with the word, agree with the word, and keep believing the word by watering the word. Amen. Amen. If you do that, the Lord who watches over His word, He will perform it. Jesus said in 

Mark 9:23, “For everyone who believes, all things are possible.” 

And Jesus said in 

Mark 10:27“With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” 

Get pregnant with the word. What are you praying for? What are you believing for? What are you hoping that God will do in your life? Stop getting jealous and disappointed. Get a seed. Get a seed from the Word by the power of the Holy Spirit. Get conceived with that word and keep watering your heart with that word. It’ll come forth, it’ll come, it’ll come.

See, you know the beauty of a tree: when it becomes big and it starts bearing fruit, it’ll keep bearing fruit. That’s why I told you, if somebody gives you 10 la rupees or you receive money as a lottery, it’ll get over. What will you do next? You’ll beg again. But when the tree of prosperity grows inside of you, you can eat from the fruit again and again and again and again, till you require of it, it’ll keep coming to you. Church, I’m declaring this over you: 

Psalm 1:2-3“But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law does he meditate day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season; his leaf does not wither, and in all that he does, he shall prosper.” 

And so shall it be done for you. In Jesus’ name.Every tree that my Father has not planted will be uprooted in the name of Jesus. Every tree that does not bear fruit, be uprooted in the name of Jesus. Every tree that bears bitter fruit, be uprooted in the name of Jesus, be uprooted in the name of Jesus. You don’t need it. You don’t require it. Let go. Let go. 

Hebrews 12:29“For our God is a consuming fire.” 

Yes, our God is a consuming fire. See the previous verse, 

Hebrews 12:28“Therefore, let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken.” 

Now listen carefully. When you receive the gospel, you received the seed of His kingdom within you. Now, the problem is there are many other trees that are causing a problem with the seed. There are many seeds, there are many trees that are there in your heart that your Father has not planted. But as the seed of the kingdom is growing, it is uprooting all the other unnecessary trees. It is a little painful because you have been too familiar with these trees that are bearing bitter fruit, but the kingdom that is within you is a kingdom that cannot be shaken.

So when you see things that are shaking in your life, those things are meant to be shaken off. Anything that is shaking in your life, don’t try to hold it. Don’t try to keep it. They are meant to be shaken off. Do like this, every dry leaf in your tree is being shaken off, is blown away. Only, only the branch that bears the kingdom will remain. Every branch that does not bear fruit needs to be cut off and thrown into the fire. That’s why it says, “For our God is a consuming fire.” Because fire purifies. When you put gold in the fire, all the impurities that are there with the gold separate from the pure gold. So don’t worry, when you are being consumed by God, who is a consuming fire, shake it off. Shake off your ego. Shake off that offense. Shake off that jealousy because you don’t need it.

So the next time when you come to church, you hear somebody’s testimony, and you’re feeling that jealousy, shake it off. When someone comes and tells you something and your ego gets pricked, shake it off. “How dare he speak to me like this? Doesn’t he know where I come from? Do you know that I’m the CEO of my company?” Shake it off. You don’t need it. Let the tree of the kingdom grow. Let the tree of the kingdom grow. We are moving, I’m telling you, this is prophetic. We are moving into a season of joy, and as you step into the season, a lot of things that have been clinging to you will be shaken off. It’s being shaken off. Sin that has been holding closely to you is being shaken off. Anger, jealousy that has been holding closely to you is being shaken off. Amen. Be shaken off. Receive joy. When you see somebody dancing, don’t get angry. If you hear the music, you’ll also start dancing. If you don’t like somebody else dancing, you don’t look at them, you dance your way. Shake off your religious mind. Your religious mind did not come from the Bible, it came from the pit of hell. The devil is religious, yeah. That’s why when we come to church and we find some people dancing, shouting, screaming, laughing, we think, “What? What are they doing here?” See, you didn’t smile for that joke. Yeah, religious mind. Shake it off, shake it off. Anything, any tree that my Father has not planted will be uprooted in your life. Receive from His abundance. He prepares a table before you in the presence of your enemies. There’s a table before you, just feed. Don’t look at the enemy, look at the wonderful spread that is in front of you.

I’m saying stop watching CNN, NBC news. Look at the wonderful spread that God has for you for some time. Stop looking at your credit card bills. Look at the spread that God has for you. The spread says, the spread says “You shall go up and not down.” (Deuteronomy 28:13) The spread says “You shall live and not die.” (Psalm 118:17) The spread says “You shall be satisfied with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.” (Psalm 103:5) There is enough for everyone at the table. Partake from the table. Take whatever you want. Whatever you want, just take, receive, and let that word bring forth. Let the word come forth in your life.

You know what I see right now? I see so many people pregnant, some just got conceived, some are fully pregnant. Oh my, oh, you know what? When you are conceived, the waiting is not frustrating because as you are waiting, you are becoming bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. I’m telling you, the biggest evidence that your miracle is coming through is the evidence that the word is transforming you inside. The word is transforming you inside.

I know somebody from this church. Two years ago, he lost his job, but he kept believing, kept believing. For one year he kept believing God. You know what happened? It took one year for him to get another job, one year. But you know, what are all the good things that happened during that one year? He was so consumed by the power of the Holy Spirit. He was so transformed by the word that I’m saying cannot be compared with any miracle. In one year when he received his new offer, oh man, he was ready. He was ready. He was ready.

But you know, in that one year, man, I have seen his life live by faith. His PF got over, his bank balance got over, but still he kept believing, and God provided through different ways. He’s not into ministry. He’s completely called in the world, but still there was provision that he kept seeing month after month, and he would come to me and tell me, “Pastor, I saw this miracle. I saw this miracle. I wouldn’t have thought that this provision would come this time from this source.” You know, one year is a long time for someone to keep believing for something, especially for a job offer. Oh man. But I tell you, the moment you start receiving the word, the moment you receive that word, the word will start acting up. If it is provision, temporary provision that you need till the miracle comes, the word will keep bringing that to you.

He needed finances for his rent. He needed finances for food as he was studying, as he was preparing. But God kept providing for him. I loved what he said. He said, “I will not beg. I will not ask anybody.” Yes, God’s faithfulness, His word always works, my friend. His word will always work, even if there’s a waiting time. I’m telling you, during the waiting, you will have the strength through the waiting from that same word. The bigger the miracle, the bigger the waiting. You know, when you think that there’s a delay, don’t get upset because there’s a David being formed, a David that will kill giants. Because once the miracle, the word is delivered, you will not even realize that you have wasted time. You’ll not even think about, “Oh man, I am losing out on time.” Just stay on the word. Stay on the word. Stay on the word. Stay on the word. It’s worth it.

Receive the word for your life. Receive the word for your family. Receive the word for your finances. Receive the word for your health. Receive the word for your prosperity. Receive the word for everything or anything that you need. I see a beautiful picture of the Holy Spirit, hugging you, embracing you. Come on. This is your moment to agree with the word. Agree with the word. Say “Amen. Amen.” Let it be done to me as per your word. Let it be done to me as per your word. Let it be done to me as per your word. Come on. Let it come from the bottom of your heart. Let it come from the bottom of your heart. The promise that you have heard. The promise that you’ve received right now. Let it come. You resonate with it. Let it speak it out. “She must say,” speak it out. Speak it out.

I shall not die, but I shall live. (Psalm 118:17) I shall only go up. (Deuteronomy 28:13) The Lord has blessed me. He has blessed me in the city. He has blessed me in the field. (Deuteronomy 28:3) The Lord has commanded a blessing on you. Doors of favor, open up for you right now. Unusual doors of favor, open up.
