Today, I will discuss a topic I have called "Having Results in God." It's crucial for us to understand that we should see results in our relationship with God because the purpose of serving and following Him is to comprehend Him and appreciate the benefits that come with being a Christian. I will revisit these topics in various ways because it's essential for every Christian to enjoy the advantages of their relationship with God. As a shepherd, it is my responsibility to highlight the areas you need to address and strengthen. By doing so, you may access what is rightfully yours. Remember, the scripture says that those who believe are the children of God and have an inheritance in God through Christ Jesus. God desires for you to receive these inheritances because He doesn't need them; you do, to thrive on this Earth. Therefore, we will focus on accessing your blessings and your capacity to manifest God's glory as He intended. I encourage you to listen carefully and feel free to ask questions. Invite your friends and church members to join in and learn to become better Christians. Don't blame others for your circumstances. The Bible, according to Jesus Christ, says when He was told, "Your family is here," He replied, "No, my family are those who hear and do." Are you among the hearers and doers? That's where you'll benefit. If you neither hear nor do, you might spend years in Christianity without any positive results. So, I invite you to join us, bring a friend, and let's gather to listen to this transformative information that can change lives and offer a new perspective on following God to the glory of Jesus Christ.
To achieve results with God, it's essential to create a spiritual atmosphere that connects with Him. Remember, you cannot become what you haven't created. The Bible in Genesis chapter one illustrates that God observed the atmosphere and realized it wasn't suitable for what He wanted to create. He spoke light into existence because light was His intention, and this light became the glory in the Garden of Eden, safeguarding Adam and Eve. They thrived in this glory because it was God's original intention. Without seeing this glory, God wouldn't create; He spoke it into existence and immediately brought it to life through a systematic creation process. Believer, your environment, especially your spiritual one, attracts what comes to you. A toxic environment cannot yield miracles. If you desire divine visitation, your surroundings must reflect that. Jesus understood this when He met the woman at the Samaritan well, ensuring He was alone to avoid distractions. You must cultivate an environment that allows God to find and bless you. Your spiritual atmosphere is key. In church, if the atmosphere is conducive for miracles and divine encounters, that's wonderful, but what happens afterward? Does your personal environment still reflect this? Does your home invite God's angels, or have you unknowingly welcomed negativity? Creating an environment that attracts God's presence is crucial. Examine your home: is it consecrated or contentious? Is it toxic? Your environment should be conducive to godliness. You cannot expect different outcomes from what you create.
Many Christians live dramatically at home, congested with negativity, yet expect great things. We profess a desire for divine visitation, but our hearts are unwelcoming. Our hearts, like our environment, can be toxic, filled with negativity, revenge, and arrogance. Yet, we desire to witness angels and the supernatural. The Bible states that as a person thinks in their heart, so are they. Your heart's meditation and your words are what God considers. Could you be your own obstacle? Holding onto bitterness, anger, and wickedness might be preventing divine blessings. Are you hindering your spiritual growth or environmental blessings? Are you driving away the positive aura God has placed upon you? A heart filled with negativity repels blessings. Never pray for what your heart hasn't embraced because without godliness, you cannot achieve godliness. Power is available to all Christians, but it stems from the heart's condition. Your environment reflects who you are. If it's toxic, that's your reality. Self-reflection is necessary to determine your path forward. May God guide us in Jesus' name.
One way to achieve results in God is through prayer. The Bible instructs us to pray continually. Jesus mentioned, "Upon this revelation, I will build my church, and the gates of hell cannot prevail." Prayer is a revelation and a key that unlocks doors. In Matthew 7:7, Jesus said, "Ask, and you shall receive. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and the door shall be opened unto you." Are you asking? Are you seeking? Are you finding? How is your relationship with God in prayer? How is it functioning? Jesus explained that if you, being earthly and flawed, can give good gifts to your children—when they ask for bread, you give them bread and not a scorpion or snake—how much more will your heavenly Father do for you? Jesus is emphasizing that the way you ask in prayer determines if you will receive. As a child of God, are you asking in prayer, or are you complaining? Are you lamenting? Are you reporting others in prayer? Are you spending more time battling the devil than acknowledging your Creator? What are you doing in prayer? Evaluate it. Many Christians complain, report others, or lament in prayer without realizing that prayer is a spiritual space to exalt God. You should lift up God. In fact, when you exalt God, He may be the one asking about your needs and meeting them. But if you approach prayer to ask God to harm someone, do you think God will be pleased? No, He won't answer that prayer. It's up to you to use wisdom in prayer. Consider Solomon; he understood what he needed in prayer. He saw his father fight wars and wanted a different approach to ruling the kingdom. He sought wisdom, which brought him all he needed and more. Are your prayers filled with complaints, demands, or reports?
Have you approached God in humility, admitting, "I can't do this alone"? Have you told Him, "I know the devil is fighting me, but I also know you are defending me. I need your strength. I need help. I don't know what to do, but I'll rely on you because the Bible says in my weakness, you are my strength. The Bible says in nothing, you are something to me. I believe you can make something of me as you did with Nazareth. Nazareth was despised, yet God sent an angel there to speak to Mary, and Jesus emerged from Nazareth." Child of God, what is your prayer? Some problems require prayer, but prayer is about submission to God, not commanding, insulting, or complaining. It's about pleading for mercy and seeking guidance. As you show vulnerability and depend on Him, He will reassure you that weeping may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning. He will encourage you to move forward. We must change our approach to obtain what we desire from God. Not every problem requires prayer; some just need a heart in the right place, while others need prayer to consult with God. If you misunderstand this, you may be mistaken. When you feel heavy or defeated, prepare your heart for the best. If everything else fails, encourage yourself. The Bible says David encouraged himself, meaning he was discouraged but found strength within. Know what you need at each moment—whether it's creating an environment or crying out to Jesus. What is your strategy for achieving the results you seek? Decide which approach you need for each problem because you'll need them to find solutions. May God grant us understanding.
Number three, fasting. Fasting is a way to seek results from God, especially when you're unsure of the source of your problems. If you find yourself in a situation without understanding how you got there or how to resolve it, fasting is a beneficial approach. Why? Fasting diminishes your human nature and enhances your spiritual nature, allowing you to achieve results. Through fasting, you seek revelations, as it is a more accessible and straightforward method. Without fasting, you might struggle to discern your attackers' plans or strategies. By engaging in fasting, you prepare yourself to stand spiritually, aligning with the lightness of spirits. Fasting signifies to God that you are relying completely on Him, not on human solutions. The Bible, in Isaiah, mentions the fast that God desires. God has a specific method for fasting, whether it's abstaining from food, denying yourself certain pleasures, or another form. Fasting should not be imitated; it should be guided by the Holy Spirit for effective results. Don't mimic others' fasting practices; your fast might be different. Listen to the spirit and your intuition. Whether your fast involves a whole day or disconnecting from distractions, it's essential to follow what is right for you. Everyone's fasting is unique. The Bible illustrates that God led Jesus to fast for 40 days, while Elijah was provided food during a revival. Each person's fast is distinct, and you must discern which is yours for it to be effective. The idea of punishing yourself is not accurate. God is not harsh; it's about what He communicates regarding your issue. Even with significant problems, God might instruct you to fast for just one day. He may also specify praying at intervals or maintaining silence during the fast. Always seek guidance on your fast. Avoid hastily creating a fast; let the spirit lead you. When guided, your attackers' power will be neutralized, and your fasting will yield results. Many have fasted ignorantly, leading to health issues or worse. If God had directed them, He would have empowered them to succeed. Avoid self-deception or harm by undertaking actions not given by God. Remember, some problems require your environment, prayer, or fasting as tools for results. May God assist us in Jesus' name.
Number four, giving. In life, there are certain challenges that cannot be resolved by your surroundings, fasting, or prayer alone. What is required is giving. This concept is profound. There comes a point in your struggles where your adversaries have outgiven you. At this juncture, God may guide you to give. You begin to feel the urge to give because God is aware of the sacrifices your enemies are making to bring you down. They are not making small sacrifices; they are making significant ones, and God sees this. Therefore, God prompts you to give sacrificially. You might question if it's truly God urging you, but God already knows. In the spiritual realm and the realm of results, every level has its requirements. If money is what is needed at your current stage, then give. When you hear spiritual leaders say, "God told me to give my car, my house, my money," they are serious. It is a level of faith. When your blessings reach a certain magnitude, God may require you to adopt a lifestyle of giving. If you choose not to give and instead rely solely on fasting and prayer, your situation may remain unchanged. The environment opposing you spiritually requires sacrifice to overcome, and giving is the solution. Avoiding this prompting or trying to find shortcuts will only lead to disappointment. Replacing giving with fasting and prayer will result in the same unresolved issues recurring year after year. There is no alternative. When you reach a level where only God knows what is needed, and the spiritual realm demands it, your breakthrough depends on sowing seeds. You must consistently and regularly plant seeds until God instructs you otherwise. Many Christians and pastors fail to receive blessings because they neglect this area. They do not give offerings, pay tithes, sow seeds, bless others, or engage in charity, yet they desire successful ministries and abundant lives. Without planting seeds, you cannot achieve outstanding results.
Your blessings and breakthroughs come through sowing, and seeds grow. God may start you with a small amount, but He does not intend for you to remain at that level. Learn and achieve results. Stop avoiding what will bring you success. Follow the steps that lead to results. Don't remain stagnant. Practice various actions in God that yield different outcomes for you. You, who need change, blessing, and transformation, must invest to receive. Your level of giving must change to attain what you seek. Many people ask for jobs but fail to pay tithes or give offerings when they receive them. They seek God's intervention but then withhold their resources. They attend church only when in need, not consistently. God is not a transactional entity. He knows you better than you know yourself. Giving is essential for your sustenance and many other blessings. Praise the Lord.
Another important aspect is following grace. At a certain level, the grace you align with will determine your divine protection. As you progress, the grace you follow becomes essential. Jesus instructed the disciples to follow him. There are challenges you cannot overcome unless you submit to someone spiritually more advanced than you. If you claim you don't need to submit to anyone and can manage alone, you're mistaken. You'll never transcend certain stages of life without following a grace. Whose grace are you following? Who is your mentor? Who is your spiritual authority? Who can admonish you, correct you, and guide you? Without this, you're filled with arrogance and pride that you may not realize is detrimental. Consider the Bible: Moses, all the disciples, and all the apostles submitted to someone at some point. You cannot be the exception, sent by God to not submit to anyone. Whose grace are you following? If others mock you for following grace, they are attempting to derail your destiny. The grace you follow will eventually advocate for you when you cannot speak for yourself. Never disregard it; it's crucial for success. Invest in a grace. The disciples dedicated three years of their lives to following Jesus. Even after he departed, they continued following until their deaths. Invest in a grace. Don't deny yourself the preparation for greater heights. You can't achieve it alone. God understood this, which is why he provided pastors to assist you in collaboration. Through this, God will be glorified.
Another thing you have to do is have control over your heart. Having control over your heart is where loyalty comes from. Many people don't have control over their hearts. They think badly. They assume things negatively. They are so confused, so they are living a confused life. Their decisions are unhealthy. Their actions are unhealthy. Their life cannot move beyond the control of their heart. You can't have a reckless heart that you don't control and expect God to invest in you. If God gives you money, you might harm those around you because you don't have control over your actions. You don't have control over yourself, so it is dangerous for God to do that with you. Learn to control yourself because some of you, the way you get angry and the way you do things, if you had the money you are seeking from God, He would be afraid of what you might do with power. Some people can be very humble until they are given power, until they have the wealth and riches they are looking for. That's when you will see their true colors. For some of you, the state of your heart is the reason why God cannot give you more than what you want Him to give you. Because whenever He looks into your heart, it is immature. You are still behaving like a child. Paul said there was a time we were children and we behaved like children. But now we are mature. We can't behave like children when we are mature. Let's assume you are a pastor, yet you still fight on the street. You don't know that the altar of a pastor deserves respect. The mantle of leadership requires a level of responsibility. You can't continue in your reckless character and say it doesn't matter. It matters, my dear. You have never seen an angel fighting on the road. It matters. The control over your heart is very important. If you don't have control over your heart, God is scared of you. Some of you, the reason why you are still poor is that God is scared of you. The reason why God has not given you power is that God is scared of you. The reason why God has not elevated you is that God is scared of you. You are full of revenge; you are just waiting for money to manifest it. You are full of hatred; you are just waiting for money to harm your village people. God is afraid of you. Control your heart. Control your heart. Control your heart. Okay, so let me move forward so that I can have room for questions.
The last thing I'm going to say is to stay obedient. Stay in obedience. Many people don't know how to walk in obedience. Even if they are Christian, even if they are pastors, even if they are following grace, even if they are working in the vineyard of God, or even if they are doing it, they don't know how to walk in obedience. It is a challenge. Anything obedient, they don't know it. In fact, the moment you start to ensure that they get into obedience, they rebel, they start feeling enslaved, they start feeling unloved, they start feeling despised. What they are actually fighting is obedience. They don't like to obey. You put them in a group, if you ask them to obey this policy, they feel offended. They feel rejected. If you take them to places, they don't want to abide by the rules. As long as the rule is not their rule and it is not fitting their desire, they don't like it. Molding them is difficult. This set of people, God also feared them very much. He said, "I need people who will do according to my will." Because there are some things God will have to tell you: the power God is giving to you is not for you. The blessing God is giving to you is not for you. The elevation God is giving to you is not for you. The flame God is giving to you is not for you. It is for the people and His own children. So there is always a time God will demand you to meet what He wants, not what you want. If you don't have a submissive spirit, you can't. Even many people who are following men of God, they don't have obedience. They have a problem with obeying members in the church. You tell them to pray for three days, they will pray for one day and say, "Pastor, God will understand." You tell them to drop a seed; they will say, "This one pastor is talking about her seed. It's like she's hungry." You tell them to do like this. They will never listen. They will always give excuses or wriggle around why they don't need to do what you want them to do as long as it is not convenient for them. What a story. But this is the truth. This is the situation in the church.
The decay affecting the church stems from a lack of obedience. We must learn to obey God's will, not our own desires. Moses stayed with Jethro until his destiny unfolded, and similarly, we must submit to God's guidance. I didn't plan to be in Kenya or live this life, but God changed my path, and I'm grateful. Trusting and obeying God, even when it's inconvenient, brings results. In your relationship with God, your church, and your workplace, consider how obedient you are to teachings and principles. Every kingdom has its principles, and to see results, you must follow them. My life is a testament to the value of letting God lead. Despite the unexpected challenges in Kenya, like the cold and cultural differences, I persevered, and it's been nearly seven years. This journey, though unplanned, has been rewarding because I allowed God to guide me.
