11
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 2>Hey, are you in a place in your life where

12
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 2>you're having sleepless nights, You're worried, You're anxious. You're looking

13
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:58.920
<v Speaker 2>at the situation in your life and saying, John, I

14
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.000
<v Speaker 2>don't know why God is not showing up. I don't

15
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 2>know why things are not working out in my favor.

16
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:05.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how things will ever turn out in

17
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.920
<v Speaker 2>my favor and how I will ever see God take

18
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>me to the new levels that I've been hoping for.

19
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Maybe with regard to your career, you're not able to progress.

20
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you're still looking for a job, or you're still

21
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 2>single and you're not found the right person. Maybe you're

22
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:23.239
<v Speaker 2>still not able to find an edge with regard to

23
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>your business. Your ministry is still not taking off, and

24
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 2>you're saying, John, I don't understand how things will ever

25
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.840
<v Speaker 2>work out. John. I know the scripture says that God

26
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 2>has given me his favor. I am surrounded by his favor.

27
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.280
<v Speaker 2>I have his favor upon my life, but I'm not

28
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 2>seeing that in the manifestation. John, I don't understand why

29
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not able to see and experience God's favor in

30
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>my life. I want you to understand today. You may

31
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.400
<v Speaker 2>be looking at your life and saying it doesn't make sense.

32
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 2>You may be looking at your life and saying that

33
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, nothing seems to be working out in your favor.

34
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>But I want you to know that God we serve,

35
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 2>I want you to know that the God we stir.

36
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.120
<v Speaker 2>I want you to know that the God we serve

37
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:08.879
<v Speaker 2>still has a plan for you. He still has a

38
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:11.159
<v Speaker 2>purpose for you. And I want you to take the

39
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:13.639
<v Speaker 2>limits of and to trust him that he is a

40
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 2>good God. He is a loving father, and he said

41
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 2>I have good plans for your life, not to harm you,

42
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.199
<v Speaker 2>not to put you in deep trouble, but rather for

43
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 2>your good because when you trust in the goodness of God,

44
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 2>when you trust that He has a good plan for you,

45
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 2>you can be rest assured that your life is safe

46
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 2>and secured in the palm of God's sands. See right now,

47
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.479
<v Speaker 2>as you can see right now, what you see is

48
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:42.560
<v Speaker 2>the edited we version of this video. But before I

49
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 2>entered the scene, before I started speaking, before I started

50
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 2>recording this sermon, there was somebody who set up this

51
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.240
<v Speaker 2>whole thing. You can see right now, the lights in

52
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:56.159
<v Speaker 2>the place, the camera, the crew, everybody is setting everything

53
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.680
<v Speaker 2>up so that when you see the end output, it

54
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.000
<v Speaker 2>looks perfect, it looks awesome, it looks like this is

55
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.879
<v Speaker 2>the way it's supposed to be. But the same way,

56
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 2>even before I started recording the sermon, the lights were

57
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 2>in place the same way before I started preparing for

58
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.879
<v Speaker 2>this sermon. In fact, they set up the crew to

59
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:21.240
<v Speaker 2>be available today the same way. Everything was already prepared,

60
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.840
<v Speaker 2>The camera was set, and everything is in the right

61
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:28.039
<v Speaker 2>place for the right moment. I want you to understand

62
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 2>that's the same way God has already gone before you,

63
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.319
<v Speaker 2>and He has prepared every detail of your life. I

64
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.560
<v Speaker 2>want you to understand this without a shadow of a doubt.

65
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:40.560
<v Speaker 2>The scripture puts it this way in Jeremiah one, verse five,

66
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 2>that even before you were formed in your mother's womb,

67
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 2>God already knew you, which means that the same way,

68
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.400
<v Speaker 2>even before I came here and started recording this sermon,

69
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:55.479
<v Speaker 2>I want you to understand that was already preplanned. Everything

70
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.759
<v Speaker 2>was set in motion, Everything was already orchestrated. Everything was

71
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 2>set aside, whether it's the camera, the crew, the lights,

72
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 2>everything was prepared even before I landed on stage. I

73
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:10.039
<v Speaker 2>want you to understand that's the same thing with your life,

74
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.479
<v Speaker 2>even before you landed into the trouble, even before you

75
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.639
<v Speaker 2>landed into this mess that you're in right now, even

76
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 2>before you are where you need to be, I want

77
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:22.360
<v Speaker 2>you to understand this important truth, saince of God. The

78
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.279
<v Speaker 2>God has gone before you and he has prepared every

79
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 2>detail of your life. He has planned everything, he has

80
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:32.000
<v Speaker 2>purposed everything, and I want you to be rest assured

81
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 2>that the God we serve is a good God and

82
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 2>he knows what he's doing in and through your life.

83
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.120
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to just close with this example from my life,

84
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:45.040
<v Speaker 2>where there was the season when because of a problem

85
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>that I faced with a particular organization that I've worked

86
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:53.319
<v Speaker 2>where the superior who was taking in all the details

87
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.240
<v Speaker 2>concerning me, he kind of played up against me. And

88
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:01.560
<v Speaker 2>one particular day, what actually happened was I was in

89
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.040
<v Speaker 2>a moment where I would have to be leaving the organization.

90
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 2>But here's the thing I want you to understand. This

91
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:12.920
<v Speaker 2>particular meeting with the human resource personnel was supposed to

92
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 2>be on a Thursday, but I just had the leading

93
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.920
<v Speaker 2>from the lot to take leave that day, and I

94
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:21.759
<v Speaker 2>took this step of faith and I took that leave.

95
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.959
<v Speaker 2>And you know what happened. That meeting was pushed to

96
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.680
<v Speaker 2>the coming Monday, And on Monday, they said, we're giving

97
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>you three months time and we're going to ask you

98
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:36.160
<v Speaker 2>to leave the organization. And I started franktically searching for

99
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:40.000
<v Speaker 2>other opportunities to go and work in another place. But

100
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 2>things were just not working on Today, you may be

101
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.399
<v Speaker 2>in a place like that where things are just not

102
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 2>working out, But I want you to hold on. Don't

103
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.399
<v Speaker 2>give up. Don't feel like just thinking that nothing is

104
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.920
<v Speaker 2>going to happen. I kept doing my best, tried every

105
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 2>job portal, tried everything under the sun. I kept recuping

106
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 2>myself at the same time, you know, standing on God's word.

107
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.319
<v Speaker 2>I kept praying, and I kept decreeing and declaring, and

108
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.439
<v Speaker 2>I kept saying, God, I know that you have a

109
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.879
<v Speaker 2>good plan for me. I know that your word says

110
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.240
<v Speaker 2>that it's not good for me to not have a

111
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.360
<v Speaker 2>source of income. So I'm praying in accordance to your will,

112
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.720
<v Speaker 2>according to your word. And when you pray accordance in

113
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.680
<v Speaker 2>accordance to his will, he hears us. And when he

114
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.079
<v Speaker 2>hears us, we have the confidence that He's going to

115
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 2>answer our praise. I kept standing on the promises. I

116
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:29.120
<v Speaker 2>kept decreeing and declaring the word. And can I tell

117
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:33.560
<v Speaker 2>you something. Three months later, the last day happened to

118
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.839
<v Speaker 2>be on a Monday, okay, and I still hadn't gotten

119
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:39.920
<v Speaker 2>another job and hand, and I was wondering what's going on?

120
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:44.199
<v Speaker 2>And Tuesday and Wednesday happened to be a government holiday.

121
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.199
<v Speaker 2>So my laptop reached them on that Friday. And on

122
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.839
<v Speaker 2>Friday I get a call from another organization asking me

123
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:57.040
<v Speaker 2>to join them on that Monday. You see something so beautiful, right,

124
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:01.480
<v Speaker 2>I left this organization on that Friday and join the

125
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.120
<v Speaker 2>new one on that Monday. It was as if there

126
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:06.800
<v Speaker 2>was no gap, as was as if everything was just

127
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:10.639
<v Speaker 2>well orchestrated. You cannot plan this three months in advance.

128
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.199
<v Speaker 2>You cannot orchestrate this on your own. You cannot make

129
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.079
<v Speaker 2>these kind of things happen. This is nothing but the

130
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.759
<v Speaker 2>hand of God. Can I tell you something? That's how

131
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 2>I want you to trust the master orchestrator. He knows

132
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.319
<v Speaker 2>how to orchestrate things in your life. He knows how

133
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.199
<v Speaker 2>to make everything beautiful. He knows how to perfect everything

134
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:33.000
<v Speaker 2>which concerns you. He knows how to open the right

135
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.480
<v Speaker 2>doors at the right time. He knows how to close

136
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.959
<v Speaker 2>the wrong doors. He knows how to change people's hearts.

137
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 2>He knows how to make the right person to hear

138
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.879
<v Speaker 2>about you. He knows how to make everything for your

139
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:49.800
<v Speaker 2>good to show up and show out in a way

140
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.759
<v Speaker 2>that you never even imagine. Today, I want you to

141
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:56.360
<v Speaker 2>be rest assured, even if you're having sleepless nights, even

142
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.160
<v Speaker 2>if you're worried or anxious. I want you to understand

143
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 2>that the God be still is still on the throne.

144
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.439
<v Speaker 2>He has a good plan for you, He has a

145
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:06.959
<v Speaker 2>purpose for you. Why didn't you take the limits off

146
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.040
<v Speaker 2>and trust him? And I believe decree and declare that

147
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.319
<v Speaker 2>the God who has been faithful in my life is

148
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:17.920
<v Speaker 2>going to beautifully orchestrate everything in your life as well. God,

149
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:19.600
<v Speaker 2>I pray that this word will go forth in the

150
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:23.120
