MORNING SESSION 8TH OCTOBER 2014 Pastor Michael: Summary

MORNING SESSION 8TH OCTOBER 2014
Pastor Michael
Expectation is very powerful. God gives you according to your expectation. God will meet you according to your expectation.
Expect from God to receive from HIM.

This is our year of favour, the family of Efatha. Together this is our year.
Your life as to be confirmed this week.
My message this day is that you are destined to shine.
Mathew 5:14 (You are the light of the world)
You were not called to try to be the light, but you are the light of the world. There is something in the inside of you that the world shall see.
You are called to make impact; you are called to make a change in the world.
Your identity is that you are the light. Understanding your identity is very important for the purpose of your life. You must understand who you are. Knowing your identity increases your confidence. The biggest battle in your life is the battle of knowing your identity, for the devil does not want you to understand your identity.
Gen 3:4, 1:36. You don’t need to try and be like God for you are already I the likeness of God.
Upto now Satan is always questioning peoples identity. You see people try to become who they already are. The bible says you are the head and not the tail.
God created you to be on top not below. The bible says that Jesus died for us to be rich; so according to Gods eye everyone here is rich.
You have the power of God because you are rich.
It is not the plan of God for you to hustle.
Identity is a characteristic that people recognize you with. When people see you they must see the light. You are the light of the world. Identity is not defined by your gender, birth place, educational qualifications, environment, and social group, how many houses you have etc…..
your identity is defined by God. God said you are the light of the world. Light makes a difference. God said you are a difference maker. You must never allow people to define you. You must not let people to put a tag on you and give you names that are not yours.
Everyone has his/ her name. don’t people to put a label on you, for this will bring a limitation on you.
Light does not have limits, so you need to shine for God has made you to be the light.
Don’t let people to put labels on you. Some may call you disabled, blind, etc.. Whatever name people call you that the father in heaven has not called you; refuse it.
Do not believe the words that the father in heaven has not said to you.
Words are very powerful. Don’t tell your children that you are foolish, or any other title to make them lowered; tell them word that will create greatness in them, words like, you will be a great person in future e.t.c
God looks at you and sees you as whom He created you to be.
God did not look at Adam as a man, but at the world. When God looked at Jacob he did not see a deceiver, but a Messiah.
God looks at you in the purpose He has called you.
All things in life have the same component and the characteristics as their souls. Wood used to make a table shows the characteristic of the tree it came from. It has the potential of the tree it was cut from. Everything God created has the essentials of the very source it came from. Don’t compare yourself with another man. If you want to know who you are, look at God.
You are the person that God say you are. When you God looked at Jesus he saw you and me and the others. You are the light of the world. This is our year of favour; you must see yourselves as God sees you. Embrace your identity; you are the light of the world.
It is one thing to be the light of the world and maintaining the light. Some people are the light but they refuse to shine. You have the responsibility to switch on the light and keep it on. Don’t turn off the light because of anything, e.g. Education, Occupation etc.
It is one thing to know your identity, and another to fulfill your destiny.
Refuse to be common. Refuse to be common. There is something about your life.
Gen 5:1-24
4740 was the time Adam was created to the day Enoch was taken by God. The achievements of Enoch was more that all the others before him. He chose to make a difference. He sought to make a difference. Refuse to die a common death but as one who made a difference.
God has raised God. The world is waiting for you. Make your lifestyle. In this year of favour declare that my life will shine.
7 truths that the life of Enoch showed
1.       The history is not supposed to stop you. Enoch refused to let His history stop him, being that no achievement was made in their lives.
2.       Your birth place should not stop you.
3.       Your environment and your experience are not supposed to stop you.
4.       Your colour is not supposed to stop you.
5.       Your age is not supposed to stop you. Joseph was 17 years old and was making impact in Egypt.
6.       You are not required to follow failure. Don’t follow people who have failed.

7.       You are called to make a difference.
