AYAC 2024 2ND WORD MORNING SESSION
TITLE: – EMPOWERMENT FOR PROFITABLE LIVING
MINISTERING: – PST OLA JUDAH
TEXT: Romans 1: 4: And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.
This is Jesus, our pattern son. Jesus, our perfect example. And we know from the scriptures that Jesus lived a highly profitable life.
Jesus, our perfect example, lived a highly profitable life, as Jesus said,
John 20: 21: Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
So, you and I were redeemed to live a highly profitable life after the order of Christ, after the similitude of Christ.
In Psalms 45: 7-8: Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
Remember Acts 10:38, we read earlier, it said,
How did that anointing come to bear? Psalms 45: 7- 8.
THOU LOVETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, IN JESUS’s OWN WORD, HE SAID “HE THAT SENT ME IS WITH ME. My father has not left me alone.”
Why? I do always the thing that pleases him.
If you and I were going to live a profitable life, understand that we need empowerment to live that quality of life. Jesus is the example for us.
Prayer: I see you and I living this mountain to live profitable lives in the name of Jesus.
But understand that the profiting of Jesus did not just manifest, the quality of life he lived was not accidental. The profiting of his life began to manifest at the instance of being empowered by the Holy Ghost.
Luke 4: 14 – 15: And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
Yesterday night, our Father in the faith told us how that…..he lacked identity, his messiahnic mininstry was without expression. Until, he was empowered by the Holy Ghost, so his profiting began to manifest at the instance of the empowerment of the spirit.
Among other things, being is witness means you shall become a proof of all that redemption carries, become a proof of all that redemption offers.
Prayer: I’m praying for someone upon this mountain that as you depart from here, for you and I, it shall be said that we are a living proof of the resurrection of Christ. You and I are returning to manifest as living proofs of redemption indeed. Let me hear a stronger and louder Amen if you receive it.
So for you and I to manifest and live a profitable life, we need to be empowered. It takes empowerment to live profitable lives.
John 14; 12: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
But understand that until you receive unction, you and I cannot function. No unction, no manifestation. A profitable life is impossible without the empowerment of the spirit. You and I cannot make impact until we are empowered. Impact is a product of empowerment. The greater the empowerment, the greater our level of impact and the greater our profitable living.
Prayer: In the name of Jesus the Christ, upon this mountain, there is coming upon you and I a strange outpouring of the spirit that will empower us for profitable living in the name of Jesus.
Also, please note that Christ is coming to rapture a glorious church, without spots or wrinkle.
Ephesians 5: 25 – 27: Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
That is the church Jesus is coming to rapture and that church is you and I, not just the building but you and I.
Prayer: In the name of Jesus, we will see the good hands of God comes strong upon us.
In 2 Corinthians 11: 1 – 3: Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
There shall be a downpour of the rain of righteousness upon the church in these last days. And that rain will come upon you and I. You and I will be different in deed.
Isaiah 62; 1- 5:
For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
All of that is a result of the rain of righteousness, transforming our lives, changing our lives.
We heard the testimony of the brethren yesterday, one of them who was a drug baron, and how everything went, no peace, no rest. Everything stopped working but when he turned to God and embraced righteousness. Look at him yesterday, free, peace on every side, rest on every side, his life transformed.
We heard the other fellow who came in from Ghana. Had been in Ghana, doing yahoo yahoo, and all the others. He did everything, drugs and took all kinds of things. And you know some of those guys, they don’t do it ordinarily. They are all in different dimensions. Now, that young man had gone all the levels, nothing worked, and he was miserable until he returned. Listen to me, men and brethren, your dignity is in your righteousness.
2 Timothy 2: 19 – 21:
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
To be honored among other things means to be highly esteemed, to be a person that cannot be insulted. To be a person that cannot be called names, to be a person that is not a bye word and a proverb. One who is highly esteemed, treated with dignity and honor. You want to see that happen in your life, he said, the foundation is a departure from iniquity.
Listen to me, there is nothing that you enjoy outside of Christ. He said, I Jesus, I have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly.
John10: 10: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
A lot of us as youth, we don’t have this, under perpetual pressure. Presssure of the times that we are in, pressure to make it quick, pressure to make it fast, cut corners, do all kinds of things. Peer pressure, environmental pressure, all kinds of pressure. But, can I tell you this, he said to be carnally minded is dead, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace; Romans 8: 6.
The peace that passeth all understanding, the peace that flows like a river, the peace that makes you uncheckered, no matter what is happening around you, you’re not troubled. You don’t see a police man and you take off, you don’t see somebody who is a stranger, he is not looking for you, yet you are on the run. Why? Because you know deep down inside of you the things you do in the secret. You hear two people conversing, you assume, it is me they are talking about. Maybe, the thing that I did somebody saw it or somebody have whispered it and then you begin to analyse and rationalize all things. And everything comes down together and put you under one thing, pressure, and unnecessary pressure.
In Christ, there is no pressure. In Christ, there is liberty. In Christ, there is peace. In Christ, there is abundant life.
Have heard our father in the faith say over and over again, that God may be slow but God is sure. And it is better to be slow and sure than to be fast and fail. Wake up!
You lose nothing following Jesus, you lose nothing standing for righteousness. Wake up!
We are in the days of the spirit, the rain of righteousness. You want things to work, you better embrace Jesus.
Isaiah 32: 15 – 17: Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
A wilderness is a place where nothing grows, nothing works. But, he said when the spirit is poured out, in nothing will come everything. The earth was without form and void, nothing was on the face of the earth, but then the spirit of God moved on the face of the waters and out of nothing God made everything that we see today; Genesis 1: 2.
It doesn’t matter your state, it doesn’t matter what has happened before, if you would embrace Jesus, it doesn’t take time, and it only takes God. When God steps in, everything turns around in a twinkle of an eye.
Prayer: The grace required, that grace comes afresh upon you on this mountain.
We are in the days of the outpouring of the grace of righteousness. Understand that, at the root of profitable living is righteousness.
1 Timothy 4: 8b: For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
You see our father in the faith living a highly profitable life.
How many of you like to be like our father in the faith?
Infact, some of you, in your prayer, it is Lord, even if you don’t give me everything, even if it is one over 10 I’m okay. I don’t want too much, just one over 10, I’m satisfied.
But what is the secret of our father in the faith? He calls it the jackpot of life Matthew 6: 33.
You’re not created to be independent, you are created to depend on God. When Adam tried to be independent, he lost his place. No one of us is created to be independent. Our sufficiency is of God and not in ourselves. The earlier you embrace the reality of the truth the better for you. There is no MOUNT OF LABOUR THAT YOU WANT TO LABOUR THAT will meet all your need. It is not possible. The only one who meets all needs is God.
Philippians 4:19: But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
He has been trading that for 40 years and today the profiting is there for all of us to see. Everywhere across the nations. Have heard him say also that you can read all my messages, listen to all my messages, sorry, in fact you can even preach them but you don’t know my secret, until you know my heartbeat for God. The harder you follow me the harder you fly. And you can’t follow God in sin or carnality. The hour cometh, the father seeketh they that will worship Him.
How will they do it? They will do it in spirit and in truth.
This one leg in church, one leg outside is the reason why nothing is balanced.
It is important to also note that GODLINESS IS either A PRESENT TENSE EXPERIENCE otherwise its value is lost; Ezekiel 18: 20 – 24.
You need sustained righteousness. In the words of our father, be born again and remain so. Be spiritual and remain so. In the local palace, they say I get am before no be property. In those days, when I used to be on fire for days, in those days, when we were on campus. Haba!
Prayer: May that not be your own experience. And for anyone that may be under such satanic siege, in the name of Jesus, by the unction of liberation upon this altar, you are loosed from that siege of the wicked. Upon this mountain, your fire shall be restored, your passion shall be restored.
Ezekiel 18: 20 – 22
That means, it doesn’t matter what he has done before, it doesn’t matter the kind of life he leads, if he will turn to God.
Ezekiel 18: 23: Your sins I will remember them no more, I will blot them out and will remember them no more, if you will turn to him.
For God to truly forbid, you have a responsibility to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Work it out. Stop making excuses. Stop looking for who to blame.
Your friend may entice you, people may lure you into sin bit when the result and the effects come, and every man will answer for himself. It was the serpent that lured Eve to eat of the fruit and then it came to Adam but when Judgment came, every man answered for himself; Proverbs 1: 10.
You have the power to say no, you have that ability to say no, you have what it takes to say no.
No! I refuse.
No!
Understand that Satan is ever on the hunt to get believers off and to disconnect us from our glorious destiny, but he will not catch you; Luke 22: 31, Hebrews 12: 2 – 3.
Prayer: You will not be sieved as wheat! Amen!
You want to live a righteous life, understand that righteousness is warfare. You must embrace spiritual warfare, you are not going to be righteous because you wish to be righteous, and you’re going to be righteous because you understand the warfare dimension of righteousness, the ability to take a strong position in God, to take a stand in God.
Righteousness is a choice until you make a decision for righteousness, you can’t live a righteous life. A lot of times, the reason why people fall, at every temptation is because they have not made a decision for righteousness. They are not even sure if they can live a righteous life or not. So, you hear people talk about well, there is nobody that is perfect. If God says that we should be perfect, how does God want me to be perfect, if I’m still in the flesh? There is no way to be perfect. Until you come to that place when you come to understand that he that is born of God overcomes the world and the temptations of the world and this is the victory that overcomes the world even our faith. 1 John 5:4.
We have what it takes to dominate sin. We have what it takes to live a righteous life. We have what it takes to walk with God. If Abraham in the Old Testament can walk with God, how much more you and I who are in a better covenant. Walk before me and Abraham did; Gen 17: 1.
Make a decision!
Daniel made a decision to not defile himself with the king’s meat. Joseph made a decision not to touch Portiphar’s wife even though nobody was there. Job made a decision to covenant with his eyes not to look upon a maiden. Make a decision for righteousness; 2 Corinthians 6: 17.
Make a dare to be different. It doesn’t matter how many people are doing it, I will not. Make a decision to be different. Don’t stop at making a decision, take responsibility, and work out your own salvation. Stop giving excuses, stop looking for who to blame. Life is an individual race, every man will answer for himself.
Righteousness demands individuality.
Understand that only those who are hungry for righteousness can live a righteous life.
What are you hungry for?
If you’re hungry for righteousness, feed on righteous content, and you will be righteous. The reason why so many of us are struggling is because of the things we feed on, on social media. You go to instagram, what are the things you look upon? All of the platforms that you are involved in, what are you feeding yourselves? What are you consuming?
You have wet dreams, why will you not have wet dreams when your eyes was already wet before you went to bed.
Righteousness demands personal hunger. Sanctification is God’s will for us. Understand that in this last days, we are in a fierce battle against the forces of ungodliness. Revelation 12: 12.
Let me mention this very quickly, people of God understand, particularly those of us in the Gen Z generation, there is no Gen Z God, the God of old is still the same and he is called thrice holy, thrice righteous, Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord. God will not compromise his standard because you are Gen Z. The standard of scripture is the same for all ages. Jesus is the same, there is no Gen Z Jesus; Hebrews 13: 8. There is no Gen Z Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the internal Spirit, as he was, so he is and so he shall be.
You can’t make God conform to the world. God is in charge of his kingdom. God is in charge of his own. God is too big for you to think that God will compromise because of you. There is no Gen Z bible, the word of God is the same for all generations; Psalms 119: 89.
Better wake up and embrace the truth. There is no Gen Z Christianity, the standards of Christianity and the conducts is the same for all generations. Without holiness, no man can see God. The ways of God are the same for all generations and the ways of God are the highways of life and this highways of life is the way of holiness; Isaiah 35: 8.
You want to see God in strange dimensions, you want to live a profitable life, and you must embrace the highways of holiness.
Isaiah 35: 8: And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
The way of God is higher than the ways of men and that way is the highway of life. Workout your salvation.
Understand that the root of ungodliness is Evil thoughts; Mark 7: 21 – 23, Proverbs 4: 23.
Protect your heart, defend your heart, until we conquer evil thought, we cannot overcome evil acts.
Philipians 4: 8: Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Four ways to purify our thoughts
1) We must engage in prayers to be delivered from all temptations; Matthew 26: 41.
But if you pray, you will not sink. The difference between Jesus and Peter when confronted with temptation, while Jesus prayed, Peter slept. Jesus was tempted, he stood, Peter was tempted, and he fell flat. Why? His spirit man was weak.
Prayer fortifies and charges our spirit, most especially when you pray in the Holy Ghost.
2) We must ensure that the word of God dwells deeply and richly in our heart; Colossians 3: 16, Matthew 12: 43.
Take daily dose of the word. Have a word schedule; Acts 20: 32.
3) We must engage the blood of Jesus to cleanse our conscience from every evil thoughts; Hebrews 9: 13.
Engage the weapon of the blood. Certain thoughts are running through your mind, I refuse to think like that, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus. I come against you by the blood of the lamb. My thoughts purified, my mind purified, Satan you have no access to my mind. You need to start thinking about the things you think about and start reacting against them. Engage the blood!
4) We must flee every appearance of evil; 2 Timothy 2: 22.
Don’t form spiritual. Flee! Don’t try to test if you can stand or not, flee. He that plays with fire will get burnt, flee. Abstain from all appearances of evil.
Prayer: In the name of Jesus, you and I will succeed. Indeed upon this mountain, we shall be empowered for profitable living.
The Holy Spirit is our Helper, He is the one who helps us to live a sanctified life. He’s the one who helps us to live a life that is well pleasing and acceptable unto God; Malachi 3: 1 – 4.
Prayer: In the name of Jesus, upon this mountain, you and I shall return empowered to take charge and to dominate our world in the name of Jesus Christ.
Action:- Give the Lord a big clap of praise
