How to Maximise Your Day of Visitation - Part I

[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another faith-building message by Pastor David Entry. Faith comes by hearing and by hearing the Word of God.

[0:11] May your knowledge of Jesus Christ increase as you listen. Be blessed. I thank God for what he has been doing because we had a powerful message yesterday, another powerful message the day before. We had another powerful message on Wednesday, and a powerful message, I mean, from Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and tonight is going to be also another, another powerful message.

[0:43] And I want to share something small about the day of visitation. The day of visitation. God, listen, Pastor, but God is everywhere. Yes, he's everywhere.

[0:55] But his manifested presence is not everywhere. I need you to lift up your right hand and say, Lord, visit me tonight. Pray that prayer simply. Lord, visit me tonight.

[1:09] Lord, visit me tonight. Lord, visit me tonight. Lord, visit me tonight. In the mighty name of Jesus, so shall it be.

[1:22] In Jesus' name, amen. God is everywhere. But he is not expressed everywhere.

[1:34] Somebody is about to enter into the God-expressing season of your life. Amen. God-expressing season of your life, where the grace of God becomes noticeably obvious.

[1:49] It's so noticeable. You won't have to explain that God is with you. People will see. The man came to Jesus. He said, listen, the kind of things that is happening in your life, I know that God is with you because no man can do these things except God being with you.

[2:04] So God's manifested presence is going to be so noticeable, you wouldn't have to explain. That is why he says that for the creation is waiting for the manifestation.

[2:18] When God, in Romans chapter 8, when God visits you, it brings the manifestation. It's verse 19, 18 and 19.

[2:28] It brings a manifestation. The endless expectation of creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. So the whole world is waiting for us to begin to demonstrate the God-expressing goodness in our life.

[2:45] God-expressing testimonies. God-expressing things that happen in our life that people know that this one, like the magicians of Pharaoh in the book of Exodus, they told Pharaoh, Pharaoh, this is the finger of God.

[3:03] Because initially they could also do what Moses does, then they would do it. He turns rod into snake. They say, oh, this is smoke. This is peanut. We will do it. A piece of cake.

[3:14] And they did it. And then Moses does another miracle. And then they will do it. Then it got to a time, I think chapter 8, they said to Pharaoh, the Pharaoh, Pharaoh.

[3:27] Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, this is the finger of God. But Pharaoh said, no, I don't care. The magicians themselves admitted that where this thing has gotten to, it has gotten out of human control.

[3:40] I'm talking about that's what people are about to say about your life, that there's something unusual. Those who can't explain it properly, they'll say, there's something spooky. That's interesting.

[3:53] They'll begin to tell people who are trying to make life difficult for you, boy, I think you have to be careful about that guy because there's something on that guy. God is about to throw his weight about in your life through the visitation of God.

[4:08] That it will be so obvious that God is with you. I don't know who I'm talking about, but so shall it be for you. In the book of Luke, chapter 2, verse 26.

[4:22] Luke, chapter 2, verse 26. The Bible says that. Let's start from verse 21. Verse 25.

[4:33] I'm sorry. Verse 25. Verse 25. It says that there was a man, and behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. And this man was just and devout.

[4:47] He was a good guy. He loved the things of God. And he was waiting for the time where God will help Israel and console Israel. And the Holy Spirit was upon him.

[4:58] He was waiting. Someone say, I'll wait. I'll wait. I will wait. I will wait. I will wait. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel.

[5:10] And the Holy Spirit was upon him. Now look at the next verse. The next verse 20 says that. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

[5:25] Let's move on. The Lord's Christ. The next verse, please. So he came in by the Spirit into the temple. And so he came by the Spirit into the temple.

[5:36] And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him according to the custom of the law. Verse 28.

[5:46] Verse 28. He took him up in his arm and blessed God and said, watch this. And blessed God and said, Lord, now you are letting yourself depart in peace according to your word.

[6:00] Verse 30. According to your word. For my eyes have seen your salvation. My eyes have seen. Verse 26. God told him, you will not die.

[6:12] You will not die until you see this thing. Sometimes the wait may be long. But sister, I'm telling you. There are people on this platform.

[6:23] Brother, there's a prophetic word upon your life. And the prophetic word will be fulfilled before your death. That way. That way. If God said you have your child, even if you are 90 years like Sarah, you will have your child.

[6:39] If God said you are going to marry, don't be in a rush. There is a day when God visits his people. And I believe that this is, I have a strong conviction that this season is definitely the season of divine visitation for somebody.

[6:54] Amen. God is visiting you. Amen. God is visiting you. Amen. God is visiting you. Amen. That is what, that's why I said that God is everywhere by his manifested presence.

[7:07] So what does it mean for God to visit us? When God shows up, he manifests his presence and does things for a person in a way that is not normal. Where it's so obvious that God has done it.

[7:20] In the book of Luke chapter 1 verse 68 and 78. Luke chapter 1 verse 68. He talks, this is the Psalm of Mary.

[7:31] Blessed is the Lord God of Israel. For he has visited, he has visited and redeemed his people. Blessed be the Lord God.

[7:41] For he has done what? He has visited. God is the God of visitation. He has the habit of visiting his people. I don't know what you're going through, but God is about to visit you.

[7:56] Verse 78. Verse 78. Luke 1, 78. It says that through the tender mercies of God, of our God, with which the days spring from on high has visited us.

[8:14] That means that, see, God has gotten involved. And it to be obvious. Days spring from on high. The days spring from on high, talking about Jesus, has visited us.

[8:28] God is visiting somebody's family. God is visiting somebody's ministry. God is visiting somebody's career. God is visiting somebody's health. God is visiting somebody's marriage.

[8:39] God is visiting your finances. God is visiting your studies. God is visiting your education. God is visiting the case. The case that is trying to plague your home.

[8:52] God is visiting you. And it shall be said, this is the finger of God. In Jesus' mighty name. Somebody shout amen. Amen. Genesis chapter 21, verse 1.

[9:06] It came to pass that the Lord visited Sarah. It looks like tonight somebody's name is Sarah. Amen. The Lord, the Bible says that, and the Lord visited Sarah, as he has said.

[9:19] And the Lord did for Sarah, as he has spoken. What happened? Look at verse 2. And Sarah conceived. Ah! So the conception is an expression of the visitation.

[9:31] Why did Sarah conceive? Because God visited Sarah. I believe God taught me that we have entered into a season of visitation.

[9:45] Amen. Divine visitation. God is visiting somebody. Amen. Amen. Within the next 24 hours, you will have a song to sing about the visitation of God.

[10:00] Amen. Amen. It came to pass that God visited Sarah. And Sarah said, oh, for the Lord has made me to love. The Lord has made me to love.

[10:12] Who would have said? Sarah, God has made me to love. Now, let's go to verse 3. Let me show you something. Let me show you something. There are quite a few scriptures to read. I just want to run this.

[10:23] And Abraham called the name of his son Isaac. Whom Sarah bore Isaac. The next verse, please. Verse 4, quickly. And Abraham circumsides. Verse 5. Let's go to verse 5. Verse 5 says that.

[10:35] And Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born unto him. How did that happen? Because of visitation. Because of visitation. When God visits you, it doesn't matter the age.

[10:48] Time is not of, it doesn't matter. Time does not matter. Whether it's too early or it's too late. It doesn't matter. Because it doesn't take time. Your testimony doesn't take time.

[10:59] It takes God. But for it to take God, you have to be patient. Wait on God. Because it will surely come to pass. And look at the next verse. Verse 6. Sarah said, for the Lord has made me to love.

[11:11] How did that happen? Because of visitation. And all that here will laugh with me. People, when visitation comes, it's not private.

[11:23] When God visits you, it's not something people will notice. Notice that. Every time God visits his people, it is obvious that something good is happening for them.

[11:34] That's what visitation is. And verse 7 is one of the interesting things. Verse 7. Who would have thought? Who would have said? Sarah said, who would have said to Abraham that Sarah should have given children a son?

[11:49] In other words, to breastfeed. For I have borne him a son in his own age. Who would have said, Sarah, who breastfeed? Who? Because the case was a darn deal.

[12:01] It's settled. It's gone. She's past the age. But because of visitation. I don't know what it seems like you've run out of time. I don't know what's going on in your life.

[12:13] And it looks like, well, let me take it like that. No. Don't take it like that. Believe God for visitation. Believe God for it. Because it's never too late. It's never too late.

[12:25] God visits his people. Somebody say, God visits his people. God visits his people. In Exodus chapter 3, verse 11.

[12:36] Look at Exodus chapter 3, verse 11. In Exodus chapter 3, verse 11. But Moses said to God, who am I that I choose? I go to Pharaoh and verse, I'm so sorry.

[12:52] It's Exodus chapter 3, verse 16. Let's go to verse 16. Verse 16. Thank you, Jesus. Listen, God is about to visit somebody.

[13:26] Now, when a visitor comes to your house, he comes and sometimes he goes, and by the time he goes, maybe a lot of things have been changed.

[13:37] You just put your house back in order the way it is. But when God visits you, you can never be the same again. The whole house can never be. If it is a one-bedroom flat, by the time he visits and he's leaving, it has become a five-bedroom house.

[13:50] When God visits you, it can't be the same story anymore. Because you know why? God has a time he waits.

[14:01] In his time, he makes all things beautiful. In his time. In his time, Ecclesiastes 3, verse 11. In his time, 11 and 14 or so. In his time, he makes all things beautiful.

[14:13] The Bible talks about how the tree that is planted by the rivers of water, the tree that someone, verse 2, by his delight is in the law of the Lord.

[14:24] And in his law does he meditate day and night. And verse 3 says, he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water. That brings forth his fruit in his season. See, that season there is a time of visitation.

[14:37] Time of visitation. Time of visitation. Time of visitation. I see God visiting somebody. In Genesis, Genesis chapter 50.

[14:49] In Genesis chapter 50, verse 24. Look at verse 24. Oh, this is Joseph. One of the greatest guys in the book of Genesis.

[15:04] And Joseph said to his brothers. And today I'm speaking like a Joseph. Saying to his brothers. Joseph said to his brothers. I am dying. I'm not dying.

[15:14] I'm not dying. I was speaking prophetically. Okay. But God will surely visit you.

[15:28] Amen. Amen. I thought you would say amen. Amen. Lift up your right hand. Say, I believe. I believe. I believe.

[15:38] God will surely. God will surely. That God will surely. Visit me. Visit me. Say it again. I believe that God will surely visit me. I believe that God will surely visit me.

[15:50] Don't just say it. Speak from conviction. Speak from your inner man. From your depth. Say, I believe that God will surely visit me. I believe that God will surely visit me.

[16:02] I want to say for the last time, as you say it, keep your mind on that situation that requires this divine visitation. Anything in your life, every stubborn condition in your life, that must move out.

[16:14] As you are saying it, you are looking at that situation and saying, I believe that God will surely visit me. Let's say, I believe that God will surely visit me. I believe that God will surely visit me.

[16:28] So shall it be in Jesus' mighty name. So Joseph said to them that God will surely visit you. And when God visits you, something's happened and bring you out of this land to the land of which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

[16:47] That is why, watch this. That is why Exodus chapter 3 verse 16 is necessary. Exodus 3 verse 16, we just read it. He said, tell the elders of Israel, gather them and tell them that the God of Abraham, Isaac has appeared to me.

[17:03] See, I have surely visited. Is that not what Joseph said? I said, the Lord shall surely visit you. Many years later, God came and he said, tell them, I have surely visited you.

[17:15] Anytime God wants to visit you. He will send a word ahead of you. He will. God does. Ah, who love a higher kataya.

[17:27] God always moves with serene ahead. He will announce himself before he shows up because God cannot work without his word going ahead.

[17:40] God works when his word goes ahead. That is why he spoke to Abraham before all these things happened. He told Abraham, I will take your people to Egypt.

[17:51] And after many years, I will judge the nation that enslaved them. And I will bring them out. And Joseph, before Joseph dies, told them, God will surely visit you and bring you out of this place.

[18:02] Then when the time came, Moses went to them. God came to Moses and said, go to the people and tell them, the time has come and I have surely visited you.

[18:14] That's the same thing. God's word does not change. And my sister, my brother, you are listening to me and maybe some things are going on and you are wondering, God, so when?

[18:25] God, so when? I am here to prophesy. Joseph said it. And I prophesied that Joseph said, God will surely visit you. But I am now coming as a Moses who said, the visitation of God is at hand.

[18:37] This is the season of your visitation. This is the season of your visitation. It is the season of your change of story. So shall it be in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

[18:49] Leave it shut and leave it amen. Amen. I will say, let's look at the next verse. Verse 25. Verse 25. Genesis chapter 50.

[18:59] Verse 25. And this is still Joseph. Then Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel saying, God will surely visit you and you shall carry up my bones from here.

[19:13] 24. Joseph was so convinced. He said, when the visitation comes, I won't be part of it. Even though I might not physically see it. I might not be alive. I won't be part of it. Sometimes I might not be in your house to even know what is happening.

[19:26] But listen, when God surely visits you, get us involved and let's celebrate together. Let's celebrate together. Bring the testimony. Get me involved.

[19:37] Let me also celebrate. Don't leave my bones in your past. Don't leave my bones. I might not be there when it's happening. And see, there are people God does things for and they don't talk about it.

[19:49] And we don't tend to know. So that's what means that you have left our bones in your past. When you talk about it, you have brought us into the current situation. And we all celebrate God together.

[20:00] We rejoice. We rejoice in God together. We bless God together. We share our testimony. We sing our songs. We sow our, we give our seeds. We rejoice in what God has done. Because we were all together in the state that you are in.

[20:15] And the prophecy came. And so when the visitation comes, don't leave. Don't go alone. Don't enjoy that breakthrough alone. Share your testimony, sister.

[20:26] Share your testimony, brother. In the book of Psalm 8 verse 4, the psalmist asked the question. He said, so who is man at all?

[20:37] What is man? What is man that you are mindful of him? And the son of man that you do what? Visit him. It's like God would travel from heaven.

[20:49] Pay his own plane ticket. And come down to your house. Look at where you live. Not that you live in Buckingham Palace. Even if you live in Buckingham Palace. For when you compare what God's heaven and is coming on earth just because of you.

[21:04] The psalmist said, God, you are so good. You are so kind. What is man that you are? I mean, what is man that you are mindful? Man, otherwise, you are on his mind. God is mindful of us.

[21:16] That's why he will visit us. Brother, I want to prophesy to somebody. Brother, my sister, you are listening to me. You have been through all kinds of stuff.

[21:28] But listen, God has not forgotten you. You are on his mind. And I came to prophesy to you. This is the day your destiny has been waiting for.

[21:38] This is the day your destiny has been waiting for. We have entered a season. The time of God's visitation. And God is going to turn your captivity around in Jesus' name.

[21:52] Somebody say amen. Amen. Amen. But there's something that's slightly scary concerning. In Luke chapter 19, verse 44, Jesus said something that we can't ignore about visitation.

[22:07] He said to Israel, Luke 19, it says that, I think we should read from verse 41. It would make sense. 41. Let's quickly go to verse 41.

[22:19] Now, as he drew near, he saw the city. Talking about Jerusalem. He said, I saw Jerusalem. And Jesus wept. Oh, Jerusalem. In other words, he was heartbroken.

[22:32] Saying, if you have known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace. But now, they are hidden from your eyes.

[22:45] So, you can come into your day, but not know the things you should do when it's your time for visitation. And Jesus said, this is heartbreaking. That you have come.

[22:57] There are people, Pastor Frank said earlier on, and Pastor Ho also said something which I'll mention. God bless you, Pastor Ho. Pastor Frank said something. That this time of fasting, this is not the time you have to go back to some things again.

[23:11] We are fasting. And you are still watching pornography. Ah! The same iPhone. The same computer you are using for your Zoom meetings.

[23:26] The same phone you are using to watch the service. You are using the same phone to flirt with somebody's husband. With somebody's wife.

[23:38] The same phone. The same phone. To, to, oh, come on. To do all kinds of FaceTime. Some people's phones and their images on your phone. That shouldn't be on your phone.

[23:50] Because of your time of visitation. When we finish, delete all of them. Say, this time of visitation, you are still in contention with your wife.

[24:03] Time of visitation. Husband and wife are still fighting. And you don't talk. You don't talk. But you are fasting. And you don't talk. Your husband is doing his thing. His thing.

[24:13] Your wife is doing his thing. And you don't talk. Because there's so much tension. And you don't. Get away! Don't let the time of visitation go waste. And Satan knows how to press some buttons.

[24:28] You are in the house. And there's so much tension in the house. You and your mom can't see eye to eye. There's so much. That is when your mom is now. Your auntie, who has come to live in your house.

[24:39] She doesn't want to work. She doesn't want to work. So she couldn't pay her bills. They suck her. And she's always busy-bodied in other people's matters. And now they have removed you from your room.

[24:49] And they have put her in your room. And every day, she doesn't work. But she's always talking about you. You have done this. You have done this. You have done that. Every day, she's putting her mouth in your business.

[25:00] And sometimes you even do it with some dignity and respect. She's so disrespectful about it. And it's driving you mad. Mad. Not this time. Not this time.

[25:11] Not this time. Not this time. Because this is a season of visitation. Ignore some things. Don't let them trigger you into some things. Don't let that guy move you into some things. Don't let that woman move you into some things.

[25:23] My brother, suck her from the house. Suck that girl. Don't let her come and visit you. Suck her. Block. No, I like this blocking thing. Blockade.

[25:34] Blockade. Block. Block. Block. Some people, they might not even. Maybe it's not some ex or something or in or whatever.

[25:46] But sometimes some friends are very toxic. Every time. Because she's about to say negative things about your worship life. Every time she goes. Hey. Again.

[25:56] Again. Again. Block. Block her. Block him. Because this is a time where every evening you have an agenda with God. You have an appointment with God.

[26:08] You don't want her to be asking. Are you? Hey. So you are on this day again. You are on this day again. You are on this day again. Some people, you can't block. But those you can't block. Block. Some people like your mother, you can't block.

[26:20] You can't block. You can't block. That's even not respect. It's not good. You can't block your mother. No. Never do that. You can't block your husband.

[26:31] Never do that. You can't block your wife. By your sister, you can't block him. Rather, you can't block him. Block him. You can't. Ask for some friends.

[26:43] Don't just block. Eject. Eject from your life. Yes. Yes. I'll say a few things. So he says that if you have known even this day day. If thou had known even this day day.

[26:55] There are things. There are things that pertain to your peace. When the time of peace. There are some things you have to do. Look at the next verse. Verse. For days.

[27:06] For days will come upon you. When your enemies will build an embankment around you. Surround you and close you in on every side. The next verse.

[27:17] And watch this. And level you. And your children within you. To the ground. And they will not leave you one stone upon the other. Why? Why?

[27:28] Why would this happen? Because you did not know the time of your visitation. He came. You didn't notice it. We are fasting. And you can't notice that. This is a season of visitation.

[27:40] You don't know the time of your visitation. It's not every time you can walk in the flesh. Sometimes you have to pay a heavier price. To resist sin. Bible said you have not blood to.

[27:55] Resist blood. You know blood. Shed blood. Resist sin. So go ahead. It doesn't matter what it's costing you. Oh. The way I'm feeling. If I don't do this. I feel like dying. Go ahead.

[28:06] Go ahead. And resist sin. In Romans chapter 12. Verse 4. It says. You have not yet resisted to. Bloodshed. Striving against sin.

[28:17] So. You haven't done much. The way. Oh. This thing. Is my real challenge. You know. You haven't yet resisted. To. Bloodshed. So.

[28:27] Push. Someone say push. Push. Push. All right. In conclusion. What day are we in? Our day of visitation. What day are we in? Our day of visitation.

[28:40] What day are we in? Our day of visitation. Listen. If you have known. In this. Your day. Is your day. Is your day. But you didn't know.

[28:51] The time of your visitation. Your day. Is the time of your visitation. In this. Your day. You. It belongs to you. Hallelujah. Can I give you some points. On how to maximize.

[29:02] Your day of visitation. Yes. Yes. Please. Are you sure you are willing for? We are sure. We are very sure. We are very sure. We are very sure. How do you maximize. The day of your visitation. Number one.

[29:14] Number one. That's what Pastor. I was talking about. It's called. Expectation. Expectation. Expectation. Expectation. In your day of being.

[29:25] Anticipation. Being expectant. Like Pastor. I was quoting the scripture. That's. This is the spirit. He said. Look unto us. And the man looked unto them.

[29:35] Expecting to receive something. Hey. Expect. That this. This fasting. I'm going to receive something. Don't wait for the fasting to be over. No. It's too far. It's too far.

[29:49] Expect that. If you. Tonight. By the end of this. I'm going to receive something. Your expectation is necessary. To maximize your day of visitation. So. In the day of visitation.

[30:01] Number one. Expectation. Number two. Obedience. When God said. Do something. Move. Do it. Whatever he tells you.

[30:12] Do it. Look. John chapter two. Mary told him. Whatever he tells you. Do it. Whatever he says.

[30:23] Do it. This time. You can take. The Nike slogan. Apply spiritually. Take it. Just what. Do it. Do it.

[30:34] Just do it. Do it. Or don't say. What if. Maybe God has. Didn't show up. Do you. Do you believe. That this is God's will for you. Then. Just do it. Just do it.

[30:47] Break that relationship. Just do it. Don't wait. Let me see. Maybe he will change. Come on. Just do it. My what if. There's no what if. There's no but if. Well there's no what if.

[30:57] There's no how. No. No. No. Just do it. God told Abraham. Bring me your son. Sacrifice him for me. And Abraham. Just did it. Not. He didn't even discuss it with Sarah.

[31:09] He didn't discuss it with Sarah. Early in the morning. Bible says that. Early in the morning. Abraham took his son. And he said let's go. Look at verse 3. Okay verse 2.

[31:21] Verse 3 yeah. So Abraham rose. Rose. Early in the morning. And settled his house. And took two of his. And just took off. Why? Because prompt obedience.

[31:33] Is crucial. To enjoy the day of visitation. Prompt obedience. Prompt obedience. Prompt obedience. I know I'm talking to somebody. What is it that God has been telling you?

[31:44] You are playing in your mind. Oh. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Just do it. Just do it. I'm not sure.

[31:55] Maybe it's not the will of God for me to do it now. If it's not against scripture. If it's not against scripture. And it's just. You can tell. Sometimes you know.

[32:05] When God gives you an instruction. In your heart. It becomes clearer. The more you are praying. Or when a word of God is being preached. So most people. They hear God clearly. When you open your heart. And you are hearing a message being preached.

[32:17] Most of the time. It will be confirmed through the preaching. Or when you are in a place of prayer. It becomes clearer. But sometimes. You might be in a place of prayer. Let's say. For 10 minutes. And it doesn't become clear.

[32:29] But you know. Looks like God is telling me. To do this. To take this step. Looks like God is telling me. To break this relationship. Look like God is telling me. To take this. You know. And especially. Steps that are sacrificial in nature.

[32:41] Watch this. Steps that are sacrificial in nature. Let's say. Abraham will feel. Maybe. I'm not sure. Let me wait. And pray a little bit more about it. Listen. If it's sacrificial in nature.

[32:52] And you have that prompting. Take the step. As long as it is not against scripture. Most people don't do things against scripture. When it is sacrificial in nature.

[33:03] It is when it is beneficial in nature. That. So. God said. I can. I can ring that. That gentleman. Maybe he's going to be my husband. I'll start ringing him. Yeah. So. It's not.

[33:13] There's no sacrifice. Sacrificing that. No. No. When God asked me. To. That's the start's wedding. God is putting on my heart. To pay for. The reception.

[33:25] You know. I may fail. No. Maybe it's not God. It's not God. It's not God. But if. It's easier. To hear. God said. I should marry you.

[33:35] Than to hear. Than to hear. Than to hear. God said. I should break up with you. More people hear. God said. You'll be my husband. God said. You'll be my wife. It's only a few.

[33:46] Can hear. God said. I should end the relationship now. And most of those. Who hear. The beneficial one. That is what. Must be. You have to take your time. Don't act on it. Let it be scrutinized.

[33:57] Because it's just beneficial. So. When it's beneficial. It can be your flesh leading you. But when it's sacrificial. Flesh doesn't like sacrifice. Flesh doesn't like sacrifice.

[34:10] I mean. How? How? Let's say. Someone has blessed me with a seed. Let's say. Someone has blessed me with 10,000 pounds. And as soon as the money gets into my hand. I just feel.

[34:21] God said. I should sow the seed. To the ambition. Hey. Well. He has to speak again. Do you know what I'm talking about? But maybe it's cold.

[34:32] Because I want to hold on to it. But when. Someone. Says that. I have some money. I'm not sure whether I should give it to you. I should.

[34:43] How easily hear that. God told me that. I had a dream that someone was bringing. Money to me. It's. It's easy to have dreams. About. Benefits.

[34:54] It's easy to have. A lot of us are not on benefit. But our mindset. When it comes to God. You are on the Jaro. You are on the door.

[35:07] Income support system. On the door. On the door. On the door. Yeah. Thank you. That's what I wanted to remember. You are on the door. Because you hardly hear anything. God is telling you to sacrifice.

[35:18] God is telling you to forgive that person. God is telling you to call that lady. Ring her. And apologize for the way you spoke. Even though you know she. She's a character. But you know.

[35:29] God is telling you. Go to your mother. Kneel down and apologize. Go to your father. And tell that. That I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Even with your pride and everything. You know. God is telling you.

[35:39] Go to that girl. And apologize for the way you treated her. And what you did. Go to your husband and say. Husband. I'm sorry. And you know your husband. Once you say I'm sorry.

[35:50] You know there are some spouses. If you make a mistake. And apologize. Hey. Some of you know what I'm talking about. So sometimes to have your peace. Sometimes just. You don't even say I'm sorry.

[36:01] You just admit it in your heart. But when you say it. It will start a new page. Here is a case. Here is a case. God is telling you. Tell your wife. My darling.

[36:12] I am sorry. I spoke to you that way. And you won't do it. Because it's not beneficial. Am I talking? Am I talking? Am I talking? Am I talking? Prompt obedience.

[36:24] It makes you maximize your day of visitation. Prompt obedience. Too many of us like receiving prayer. Receiving declaration of prayer.

[36:35] It is such a point. It's very important. But don't leave it there. Don't. Every blessing that comes from God. Tend to always have a price tag on it.

[36:47] Of just to make sure. You are really willing. And obedient. To eat of the fruit of the land. Isaiah chapter 1 verse 19.

[36:57] If you are willing and obedient. You will eat it. Because of Jesus' obedience. God has highly lifted him. Philippians chapter 2 verse 7 and 8. It says that he became obedient.

[37:09] He became obedient. Even to the death on the cross. He became obedient. Did you see that? Even to the point of death. The death on the cross. Look at verse 9. Therefore.

[37:20] Because of that. Because of disobedience. Verse 9. Because of disobedience. Therefore. God has highly. God has highly. Exalted him. God has highly exalted.

[37:32] And given him. Why did he exalt him? Because of his obedience. Sister. Is it possible that. Your disobedience is delaying. Your visitation. Is delaying the move of God in your life.

[37:44] Is it possible that you are fasting. But you are still in disobedience. Some way. Because you know. Let me say this. I've been a Christian for a while. And since I got born again. Fasting has been my lifetime.

[37:55] Listen. It's easy. Sometimes it's easier to. Easier to fast. Than to obey God in some things. Especially when it comes to. Certain sacrifices.

[38:06] And prices we have to pay. In our relationship with somebody. In our relationship with your pastor. You went to gossip about your pastor so bad. You sat among some people. And blasted lamb.

[38:16] Basted your pastor. You know. God is talking to you. Call him and say. Pastor. Those three people. We are all gossiping. But God has touched me. I'm a pastor. I repent. I'm sorry.

[38:27] For saying that about you. He doesn't know. But I'm. No. You see. God has. I'm telling you. And you are believing God. For a testimony. Meanwhile. There is a way.

[38:38] There is an instruction. Tag. On your testimony. You don't want to do it. Because I'm fasting. And receiving declarations. How do you maximize. Your day of expectation.

[38:49] Number one. Expectation. Number two. What? Be obedient. Be obedient. Number three. Can I add. A third one. Yes. Please. Please. Okay.

[39:00] I think I'll mention them quickly. Number. Number. Number three. Is godliness. Or spirituality. Be very godly. What is.

[39:10] What is. What does it mean to be godly? Your actions should be god expressing. And flesh restricting. Flesh restricting. You don't give the flesh the chance to manifest itself.

[39:23] And they don't know me. We don't want to know you. When it happens. Hey. I just don't want to be. I don't. They don't know what I can do. No. Don't give the flesh the room to pray.

[39:34] Be spiritual. Be godly. Be god expressing. Our attitude. Our response. Your reaction. God expressing. God expressing. God.

[39:44] God expressing. That's why when. The Israelites. Those in Jerusalem. When Jesus. Because they know. They have. They were living normal. And living. Normal.

[39:54] Not doing. They are not. Engaging in things. That expresses God. Watch. Against carnality. Be spiritual.

[40:06] Pray. Read your bible. Be in prayer. Meetings. The part of what God is doing. And then. Number four. Association. Or fellowship.

[40:17] Association. Who you are working with. Who determine. What kind of testimony. You will share. Go and ask Riyadh. The people you affiliate yourself with.

[40:27] Will determine. The type of testimony. You will share. That's why. I make sure. I don't travel normally. I have time. I'm fasting. No. When papa.

[40:39] Ask me. I need you to come. Papa. Yes. I'm there. It's the price of association. If I could. I mean. When I'm dealing with.

[40:49] A spiritual giant. There's a certain level of obedience. That is necessary. Sacrifices. Sacrifices. My association. With Pastor David Oedipo.

[41:01] And Reverend. Antiochofian. It's crucial for me. It's crucial. It says that. And then. You meet some people. Coming from the hill of God. Prophesying. First Samuel chapter 10.

[41:12] And the spirit of God. Once you. You meet them. The spirit of God. You meet them. Prophesying. The spirit of God. Will come upon. And you also start to prophesy. And people will be saying that. He saw also. Amongst the prophets.

[41:23] Yeah. Because of your company. Some of you. It's. It's this fellowship. And prayer meeting. Prayer meeting. That is keeping you going. Haven't you seen those. Who have not been joining. The services. And the zoo.

[41:34] Have you seen the way. They are backsliding. Radically. Some people. Their backsliding. Is very heartbreaking. Backsliding. But. Later on. By the time they recover.

[41:45] It's. They've lost a lot of ground. Backsliding is not worth it. Pay the price to front slide. Yeah. Fellowship is crucial.

[41:56] He says that. In Hebrews chapter 3. Verse 12 and 13. Or so. It says that. Do not. It says that. Beware. Brethren. Lest. There be.

[42:06] In any of you. An evil heart. Of unbelief. In departing. From the living God. Backsliding. Is caused by. Evil heart. Of unbelief. There are some people. When you start talking to them.

[42:18] Regularly. Your spiritual life. And your fellowship life. Your church life. Will be damaged. As certain people. In Proverbs chapter 22. Verse. You know. I think. 22.

[42:28] Verse 24. Let's see. Proverbs 22. 24. It says. Don't make friends. With an angry person. Make no friendship. With an angry. Someone who is bitter. Who is offended. Offended in pastor.

[42:39] Offended in the church. It's my bad day. No one celebrated me. It's my bad day. And then. Offended. Don't make friends. With an angry man. And. With a furious man. Do not go.

[42:50] Don't join their team. Why? You will pay for it. Look at the next verse. Let's. You will learn their ways. And be. And set a snare for your soul. Hey. You see.

[43:01] It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's me. I'm not angry. But. It's. I'm just. I'm just with them. He's talking. I don't. No. No. The fact that you are in that company. You have. You'll be affected. When you see someone very, very bitter.

[43:13] And very angry. And negative about your church. And about your pastor. You have to regulate. Put on the thermostat. Regulate the. Your association. Regulate it.

[43:24] Because it says that. Maybe you are all in the choir. But now. She has become an orangus. But now. She has become negative. My friend. You know you are pregnant.

[43:35] You are about to give birth. You need the covering. No. This is not the time. You associate with some strange orangus. At all. This is not the time. You associate with some people.

[43:46] Who have developed the heart of. An evil heart of unbelief. This is not the time. This is not the time. You can tell.

[43:56] Their heart has changed. You have to also unplug. Unplug. Pull out the plug. Pull out the plug. On them. He says that.

[44:08] You will live there. Oh me. I'm fine. I'm fine. By the time you realize. They have introduced. They have infested you. With their negative hearts. Their negative feelings. You have caught it already. Somebody's always.

[44:21] I don't like a pastor. I don't like a pastor. I don't like a pastor. All these kind of pastors. These. Unplug. Unplug. Unplug. Because listen. You are in your day of visitation.

[44:33] You can't maintain association. Let me finish the Hebrew chapter 3. Is someone learning something at all? We are learning. Hebrew chapter 3. Yes. And this thing is very scary. An evil heart of unbelief.

[44:45] In the past. When they say. No. I mean. When we resume. From lockdown. We will see people. Who have the evil heart of unbelief. They say. It's like a venom. A viper has beaten them.

[44:56] So the thing has entered them. We pray that God will help. Us. Help them recover. You know. But. It says that evil heart of unbelief. Then the next verse. Watch this. The next verse is very important.

[45:07] Verse 13. But exalt. One another. How often? Daily. Daily. So this daily service we are doing. Is not bad. While it is called today.

[45:18] Less. If you don't do that. Some of you become hardened. Through the deceitfulness of sin. So fellowshipping is necessary. Else. Because if you disconnect yourself. From fellowshipping. Your heart.

[45:28] Will be easily become hardened. Hardened. Like a rock. Bible says that. The Egyptian magicians. Advised Pharaoh. That this is the finger of God.

[45:40] But Bible says. The heart of Pharaoh. Pharaoh was hardened. No wonder he ended up in the Red Sea. You should have listened to them. And not to have sailed from Crete. Pharaoh's heart.

[45:53] Grew hard. Hard. When your heart is hard. You can't even pump blood properly. It affects your brains. All right.

[46:04] Association. So number one. What? Expectation. Number two. Be right. Number three. Number four. God be right. Number four.

[46:15] Expectation. Number five. And number six. Number five. Is sacrificial services. Abraham saw God. Someone in town. And he said. Come.

[46:26] Come. He said. Come. Genesis chapter 18. From one. He said. Come. Come. Verse three. Abraham quickly went in. He called Sarah. Let's do something for him. Let's do something for this man of God.

[46:37] He didn't realize he was hosting God. That was his visitation. It was. That's when. After they handled that visitor. The way they sacrificed. He said he went into his garden or something.

[46:49] And they went and caught a young lamb. Good one. Genesis chapter 19. So he took butter and milk. And the calf which he had prepared.

[46:59] Go to verse six and seven. And see. Verse six. Yeah. Okay. Abraham. Let's go. All right. All right. Let's go. So Abraham hurried quickly. Verse six. So Abraham. So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said.

[47:13] Quick. Quickly. Make ready three measures of fine meal. Knead it and make cakes. Then Abraham to give his wife job. And he himself. Verse seven.

[47:24] Verse seven. And Abraham ran to the head. Took a tender and a good calf. Don't take the rough one. He took a good calf.

[47:36] Gave it to the young man. And he hastened and prepared it. They slaughtered a good calf. This is a time of his station. Abraham says. It's time for offering. You don't want to give you a good calf.

[47:50] Here. It's your tight. So you'll see. And then number. Number. Verse eight. Verse eight says that. And. Verse eight. So. He took butter and milk.

[48:00] And he prepared it before them. And he stood by another tree. As they ate it. That's talking about the visitation. This sacrifice service. He said. He told other people. Then. Watch this. Then they said to him.

[48:11] Where is Sarah your wife? So he said. He's in the tent. And they started prophesying. He prophesied. He prophesied. That he said. I will certainly return to you.

[48:22] According to the time of life. And because Sarah your wife. Will have a son. Sarah was listening in the door. And he was laughing. How can this be possible? Visitation is making. Is what makes it possible. So before we heard that.

[48:32] And God visited Sarah. This pre-visitation was in place. And they embraced. And triggered. And maximized the visitation. By sacrificial service.

[48:45] Sacrifice. Today I read. Accept a grain of wheat. Fall to the ground. And dies. It abides the law. But when it dies. John 12. 24. It brings forth much fruit.

[48:56] It brings forth much grain. Dying. Sacrifice to something. Let go. Thank God. This is a month of sacrifice. Sacrifice. And the last point.

[49:07] Is faith. You know. Without faith. It can't. And when the prophet. The angel. Prophesied. That Abraham. Sarah will have a child. Sarah didn't believe it. So they had to.

[49:18] And they said. Why is she laughing? And Sarah said. I didn't laugh. Abraham even was thinking. How can this be. Since my wife is old. Look at verse 11. Verse 11.

[49:31] Now Abraham. And Sarah. Sarah were. Were old. Well advanced in age. And Sarah had passed. The age of childbearing. It would take faith. When God said. Your time has come.

[49:41] To see your time manifest. So. In your day of visitation. How do you maximize. Your visitation. Number one. Be expectant. Number two. Be obedient.

[49:54] Number three. Godliness. Number four. Salvation. Salvation. Number five. Sacrificial services.

[50:05] Salvation. We are about to go back physically. Pay a price to save. Number six. Faith. Faith. Without faith. It's impossible to please God.

[50:16] This season. Is the turning point season. For your destiny. Amen. Of Jesus. So shall you. Somebody is entering the season.

[50:27] And he doesn't. If someone. At the time. Is this fasting. So me fasting is not my thing. Are you expecting visitation. Then sacrifice. And join the fast. Join the fast.

[50:38] Unless for unhealth grounds. But if it's not on health grounds. It's on convenience grounds. Boy. Sacrifice. Girl. Sacrifice. That's your. In Jesus name. Thank you for listening.
