Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA.
Speaker 2: Hey, are you in a place in your life where
Speaker 2: you're having sleepless nights, You're worried, You're anxious. You're looking
Speaker 2: at the situation in your life and saying, John, I
Speaker 2: don't know why God is not showing up. I don't
Speaker 2: know why things are not working out in my favor.
Speaker 2: I don't know how things will ever turn out in
Speaker 2: my favor and how I will ever see God take
Speaker 2: me to the new levels that I've been hoping for.
Speaker 2: Maybe with regard to your career, you're not able to progress.
Speaker 2: Maybe you're still looking for a job, or you're still
Speaker 2: single and you're not found the right person. Maybe you're
Speaker 2: still not able to find an edge with regard to
Speaker 2: your business. Your ministry is still not taking off, and
Speaker 2: you're saying, John, I don't understand how things will ever
Speaker 2: work out. John. I know the scripture says that God
Speaker 2: has given me his favor. I am surrounded by his favor.
Speaker 2: I have his favor upon my life, but I'm not
Speaker 2: seeing that in the manifestation. John, I don't understand why
Speaker 2: I'm not able to see and experience God's favor in
Speaker 2: my life. I want you to understand today. You may
Speaker 2: be looking at your life and saying it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2: You may be looking at your life and saying that
Speaker 2: you know, nothing seems to be working out in your favor.
Speaker 2: But I want you to know that God we serve,
Speaker 2: I want you to know that the God we stir.
Speaker 2: I want you to know that the God we serve
Speaker 2: still has a plan for you. He still has a
Speaker 2: purpose for you. And I want you to take the
Speaker 2: limits of and to trust him that he is a
Speaker 2: good God. He is a loving father, and he said
Speaker 2: I have good plans for your life, not to harm you,
Speaker 2: not to put you in deep trouble, but rather for
Speaker 2: your good because when you trust in the goodness of God,
Speaker 2: when you trust that He has a good plan for you,
Speaker 2: you can be rest assured that your life is safe
Speaker 2: and secured in the palm of God's sands. See right now,
Speaker 2: as you can see right now, what you see is
Speaker 2: the edited we version of this video. But before I
Speaker 2: entered the scene, before I started speaking, before I started
Speaker 2: recording this sermon, there was somebody who set up this
Speaker 2: whole thing. You can see right now, the lights in
Speaker 2: the place, the camera, the crew, everybody is setting everything
Speaker 2: up so that when you see the end output, it
Speaker 2: looks perfect, it looks awesome, it looks like this is
Speaker 2: the way it's supposed to be. But the same way,
Speaker 2: even before I started recording the sermon, the lights were
Speaker 2: in place the same way before I started preparing for
Speaker 2: this sermon. In fact, they set up the crew to
Speaker 2: be available today the same way. Everything was already prepared,
Speaker 2: The camera was set, and everything is in the right
Speaker 2: place for the right moment. I want you to understand
Speaker 2: that's the same way God has already gone before you,
Speaker 2: and He has prepared every detail of your life. I
Speaker 2: want you to understand this without a shadow of a doubt.
Speaker 2: The scripture puts it this way in Jeremiah one, verse five,
Speaker 2: that even before you were formed in your mother's womb,
Speaker 2: God already knew you, which means that the same way,
Speaker 2: even before I came here and started recording this sermon,
Speaker 2: I want you to understand that was already preplanned. Everything
Speaker 2: was set in motion, Everything was already orchestrated. Everything was
Speaker 2: set aside, whether it's the camera, the crew, the lights,
Speaker 2: everything was prepared even before I landed on stage. I
Speaker 2: want you to understand that's the same thing with your life,
Speaker 2: even before you landed into the trouble, even before you
Speaker 2: landed into this mess that you're in right now, even
Speaker 2: before you are where you need to be, I want
Speaker 2: you to understand this important truth, saince of God. The
Speaker 2: God has gone before you and he has prepared every
Speaker 2: detail of your life. He has planned everything, he has
Speaker 2: purposed everything, and I want you to be rest assured
Speaker 2: that the God we serve is a good God and
Speaker 2: he knows what he's doing in and through your life.
Speaker 2: I wanted to just close with this example from my life,
Speaker 2: where there was the season when because of a problem
Speaker 2: that I faced with a particular organization that I've worked
Speaker 2: where the superior who was taking in all the details
Speaker 2: concerning me, he kind of played up against me. And
Speaker 2: one particular day, what actually happened was I was in
Speaker 2: a moment where I would have to be leaving the organization.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing I want you to understand. This
Speaker 2: particular meeting with the human resource personnel was supposed to
Speaker 2: be on a Thursday, but I just had the leading
Speaker 2: from the lot to take leave that day, and I
Speaker 2: took this step of faith and I took that leave.
Speaker 2: And you know what happened. That meeting was pushed to
Speaker 2: the coming Monday, And on Monday, they said, we're giving
Speaker 2: you three months time and we're going to ask you
Speaker 2: to leave the organization. And I started franktically searching for
Speaker 2: other opportunities to go and work in another place. But
Speaker 2: things were just not working on Today, you may be
Speaker 2: in a place like that where things are just not
Speaker 2: working out, But I want you to hold on. Don't
Speaker 2: give up. Don't feel like just thinking that nothing is
Speaker 2: going to happen. I kept doing my best, tried every
Speaker 2: job portal, tried everything under the sun. I kept recuping
Speaker 2: myself at the same time, you know, standing on God's word.
Speaker 2: I kept praying, and I kept decreeing and declaring, and
Speaker 2: I kept saying, God, I know that you have a
Speaker 2: good plan for me. I know that your word says
Speaker 2: that it's not good for me to not have a
Speaker 2: source of income. So I'm praying in accordance to your will,
Speaker 2: according to your word. And when you pray accordance in
Speaker 2: accordance to his will, he hears us. And when he
Speaker 2: hears us, we have the confidence that He's going to
Speaker 2: answer our praise. I kept standing on the promises. I
Speaker 2: kept decreeing and declaring the word. And can I tell
Speaker 2: you something. Three months later, the last day happened to
Speaker 2: be on a Monday, okay, and I still hadn't gotten
Speaker 2: another job and hand, and I was wondering what's going on?
Speaker 2: And Tuesday and Wednesday happened to be a government holiday.
Speaker 2: So my laptop reached them on that Friday. And on
Speaker 2: Friday I get a call from another organization asking me
Speaker 2: to join them on that Monday. You see something so beautiful, right,
Speaker 2: I left this organization on that Friday and join the
Speaker 2: new one on that Monday. It was as if there
Speaker 2: was no gap, as was as if everything was just
Speaker 2: well orchestrated. You cannot plan this three months in advance.
Speaker 2: You cannot orchestrate this on your own. You cannot make
Speaker 2: these kind of things happen. This is nothing but the
Speaker 2: hand of God. Can I tell you something? That's how
Speaker 2: I want you to trust the master orchestrator. He knows
Speaker 2: how to orchestrate things in your life. He knows how
Speaker 2: to make everything beautiful. He knows how to perfect everything
Speaker 2: which concerns you. He knows how to open the right
Speaker 2: doors at the right time. He knows how to close
Speaker 2: the wrong doors. He knows how to change people's hearts.
Speaker 2: He knows how to make the right person to hear
Speaker 2: about you. He knows how to make everything for your
Speaker 2: good to show up and show out in a way
Speaker 2: that you never even imagine. Today, I want you to
Speaker 2: be rest assured, even if you're having sleepless nights, even
Speaker 2: if you're worried or anxious. I want you to understand
Speaker 2: that the God be still is still on the throne.
Speaker 2: He has a good plan for you, He has a
Speaker 2: purpose for you. Why didn't you take the limits off
Speaker 2: and trust him? And I believe decree and declare that
Speaker 2: the God who has been faithful in my life is
Speaker 2: going to beautifully orchestrate everything in your life as well. God,
Speaker 2: I pray that this word will go forth in the
Speaker 2: name of Jesus and strengthen those watching listening from across
Speaker 2: the globe and fill them with their presence and the anointing.
Speaker 2: Knowing that my God has a beautiful plan for my life.
Speaker 2: He knows what he's doing, and he will orchestrate all
Speaker 2: things for my good because I love him and I'm
Speaker 2: caught according to his purpose. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
