[0:00] Hallelujah! We thank God you've tuned into this message by David Entry at Caris Church. No hand can help you with the fulfillment of your destiny but the Word of God.
[0:11] May God's hand align you further into your destiny through this word. In Matthew chapter 16 verse 13, remember God is sovereign. Let's all say God is sovereign.
[0:25] When we say God is sovereign, that means He can do anything. So, there are critical things that make people cry out to God and believe God for the sovereignty of God.
[0:40] And God likes it when you believe that He can do it. It makes you exercise your faith in God. Jesus said, have faith in God.
[0:55] Mark 11, 22. So, when you have faith in God, it makes God want to show up. Jesus said, be it unto you according to your faith.
[1:07] Those are the things that, it helps us to count on the sovereignty of God. Sovereign. I don't know what you might be going to. Sometimes doctors can make, come to a conclusion, but it's still not conclusive.
[1:22] Because you have a sovereign God. Do you understand? Do you understand? You might be going through something that, it looks like there's no way out. There's God's way out.
[1:34] Amen! Listen, He said, He makes a way in the wilderness. Yes. He makes rivers of desert in the wilderness.
[1:45] Sorry, in the desert. Rivers of water. In the desert. Desert doesn't have river. But God is able to provide. He could make rock produce water to feed millions of people.
[2:00] When you study the scripture, you see the sovereignty of God. Sometimes we can be so religious that the more religious you are, you become sometimes, the less you trust God for His manifest, the manifestation of His sovereignty.
[2:13] Prayer is counting on the sovereignty of God. That God will do what He said He would do. God will do what He alone can do.
[2:25] So I want to, before I go further, I just want to let somebody know that develop the muscles to trust or count on the sovereignty of God.
[2:36] The situation might look bleak, but not with God. He said, this is impossible with men, but not with God. For with God, nothing shall be impossible.
[2:49] Somebody say, Amen. Amen! Ephesians 6, 10. I'll go on to the message in a minute. He said, finally, my brethren.
[3:00] Let's all say that together. Finally, my brethren. How more time? Finally, my brethren. Finally, my brethren. So, I was explaining to them that it doesn't matter what has gone on.
[3:16] Everything that has gone on shouldn't be final. There should be a final one you put to it. So you must always have the final say. Finally, my brethren.
[3:28] There's something, okay, you finish your job or you finish your degree, you finish your education, you put in an application, you've won the court case, you've lost the court case, you've finished the medical treatment, you're about to spare the medical treatment, the job application was successful, the job application was not successful, finally you are married, finally you've had your child, you are still waiting for marriage.
[3:52] All the various aspects of human experiences. Whatever happens to you, don't make that final. Finally, after all things have happened, finally my brethren be strong in the Lord.
[4:07] After everything has, everything is said and done, your bit is to be strong in the Lord and put on the whole armor of God.
[4:20] That having done all things to stand, stand. Finally my brethren be strong. Finally, Carice, let's be strong in the sovereign God.
[4:34] Be strong in the Lord. I have a feeling that there are moods, I can spiritually sense moods and fear and uncertainties and concerns growing in people's heart for various things.
[4:54] Some of you, your finances, some of you, your career, some of you, your child, some of you, your marriage, some of you, so many things. In the past, it wasn't that much, but it looks like something is brewing and growing.
[5:06] It's growing in your, you are getting more worried than you were last month. You are getting more worried than you were three months ago about the same issue.
[5:19] That's why prophetically I came to tell you that learn to count and trust on the sovereignty of God. You don't have to wait for a prayer meeting.
[5:33] Because sometimes a prayer meeting might come in a bit late. Sometimes a church gathering might come in a little bit late. You are dealing with an issue on Monday.
[5:46] You can't wait for Thursday. Because by Tuesday morning something is going to happen. You can't wait for Thursday service. You must count on the sovereignty of God. Watch this.
[5:58] You made a mistake, you messed up, you went in the direction you shouldn't have gone, finally. Do you understand that? Whatever happens shouldn't be final.
[6:09] Whatever has happened in your life shouldn't be final. You have to add the final bit God said add. So after everything is done and said and done, finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord.
[6:21] And in the power of His might. That is when you begin to see the manifestation of the sovereignty of God. Because we are dealing with complicated situations.
[6:34] Situations that are stronger than you can handle. So if you don't do the finally, the situation will become the final state of your condition.
[6:45] You have to refuse for something to be final. You have to choose that what to be final is you are strong in the Lord. And I thought somebody would shout a living hallelujah.
[6:58] Hallelujah. When the devil throws his words at you, you can tell I have been severely hit.
[7:09] As long as you have life, that will not be final. You somehow get what I am saying? Whatever situation you get into, you find yourself.
[7:20] Say to yourself, this is not final. This is not final. This is not final. This is not final. This is not final. Even after you've got all the victory, this is not final.
[7:32] As long as you have breath, nothing is final, but you are being strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Shout hallelujah.
[7:43] Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Finally, my brethren, finally, at last, be strong in the Lord. I'm preaching yesterday's message because I can tell God's hand is about to carry somebody.
[7:59] Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. God hardly or struggles to show up or hardly shows up where He's not believed. God is rendered incapacitated where He is not believed because He actually considers unbelief as a sin.
[8:24] So God can't show up. He said, for with them, many of them, God, 1 Corinthians 10, God was not pleased because of their unbelief.
[8:37] Unbelief. Unbelief. The reason why you are so afraid, now you believe in medical reports more than heavenly reports.
[8:52] Trust God. Somebody just had cancer and this is how they started. My uncle and then my auntie and this, after that feeling they said, you already started concluding. Maybe it's cancer.
[9:03] Maybe. Cancel, cancel that cancer thought. If you don't cancel that cancer thought, it will cancel your joy. Finally, after everything is done, said and done, finally my brethren.
[9:18] Finally my brethren. Finally my brethren. And there's also some things you don't share with others but you share with a beloved son.
[9:29] So, you have to, when you each drop what the man is telling his son, it should help you to know, the guy is the minister or exchequer, the chancellor of the exchequer.
[9:42] He knows what the decision is about and he's advising his son. And you heard it. Move with that advice. Because it's not permitted to tell the public.
[9:54] But he will tell his son. Because you have got an inside information, intel, from a father to a son. A father will tell the son what sometimes he might not even tell his close allies.
[10:08] And in 2 Timothy 2 verse 1, he said, my beloved son. He said, therefore my son, be strong in the grace.
[10:22] So, there are things that are shared to only brethren. And there are also things that are shared to only sons. It's called for sons only.
[10:33] What do you mean? What do you understand by when it says that Raymond and sons incorporated? Yeah. Because there are some things only sons must share. And there's certain type of grace and update that is given only to sons.
[10:48] And you have gotten to hear that. They were not even talking to you. But I said, Timothy. It's not you. You are not Timothy. It's not for Timothy. It's not for Timothy.
[10:59] It's not for Timothy. It's not my son. Be strong in the Lord. So, if you say be strong, that means that there is a master key about being strong in the grace.
[11:10] And being strong in the Lord. This is not time to be weak. Not at all. Not at all. I'm telling you. Quit yourself. Quit yourself. The enemy has a way of weakening your resolve.
[11:22] Yeah. When you become battle weary. Yeah. When you become tired of resisting. Or tired. That is why it said, don't be weak. Be strong. 1 Corinthians chapter 16 verse 13.
[11:35] Quit ye as men. Original. Original. It said, watch ye. Stand fast in the faith. Quit ye like men and be strong.
[11:46] Don't just behave like an ordinary person. Be strong. Some things require fighting. Yes. Yes. Yes. Some of us don't like fighting.
[11:57] When it comes to destiny, your destiny, you have to fight. Yes. Fight to be strong. And Paul calls it, it's a good fight of faith.
[12:11] Hallelujah. The fight of faith is the fight you fight to make sure the sovereignty of God is not eclipsed to you.
[12:23] So you keep the sovereignty of God in mind. Because it's a fight. Until you trust in the Lord with all your might. And lean not on your own understanding.
[12:36] In all your way acknowledging him, he cannot guide, direct your path. So there is what to do to see what God will do.
[12:49] Wow. There is what to do to enjoy what God can do. And tonight, prophetically, I'm talking to somebody. It looks like all hope is gone and you are tired.
[13:03] Why? Why? Stop saying why and say thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. He said, even though he slays me, I will trust him.
[13:14] He said, God has slayed me and I'm going down, but I still trust God. I trust God. Somebody say, I trust God. I trust God. Say it again, I trust God.
[13:26] I trust God. What somebody needs right now? Faith to stand. Somebody say hallelujah. Hallelujah. I came to speak strength. Say, the scripture says, I can do all things through Christ.
[13:43] Strength with me. Strength with me. Strength with me. Strength with me. Strength with me. If an unbeliever is down and you have been down, your sister, something is happening, you both have been down.
[13:56] She's an unbeliever. You are a believer. And you have to be strong. Listen. Sometimes she can try. She won't be strong. She can try. But you try and you are strong because there's somebody strengthening you.
[14:09] See? So the source of your strength is not self. It's strength extra nose. It's a synthetic strength.
[14:22] Christ strengthens me. Somebody say that. Christ strengthens me. Confess it again. Christ strengthens me. Christ strengthens me. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his mind.
[14:36] For I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. How about Haggai chapter 2 verse 4. It said, Zerubbabel, be strong. Joshua, be strong.
[14:48] All you people, be strong. Why? For the Lord God is with you. Amen. He said, Ye now be strong, Zerubbabel, says the Lord.
[14:59] Be strong, Joshua, the high priest. And be strong, all you people, says the Lord. And work. Why? For me. I am with you. I am with you, says the Lord.
[15:11] Be strong. When Moses died, Joshua, God told Joshua, Joshua chapter 1 verse 6. He said, Be strong and of a good courage.
[15:22] Because you will divide the land for the people. There are some divine assignment that cannot be fulfilled if you are not strong. Be strong in the Lord.
[15:34] Quit fearing. You heard that, and so what. The doctors said, the doctors said, the doctors, and so what. And so what. Haven't you also heard what doctors have said about some people who did believe God and they saw?
[15:48] Be strong. If there has been any time you have been strong, this time you can't afford not to be strong. This time, if you don't rise in strength, a lot of things are at stake.
[16:03] I don't know what I am prophesying to. Wow. I came to prophesy. Wow. If you don't rise in strength and stand firm, a lot more things are at stake than you figure out.
[16:17] A lot more things. I am prophesying. Yeah. Be strong. Be strong. Be strong. Major story changes.
[16:30] Radical changes. Positive testimonies are waiting for you to just be strong. Amen. Because if you don't call and trust in the sovereignty of God, what platform is He going to operate on for you?
[16:49] I want to tell somebody, dare believe God. Dare believe God. Dare believe God. Dare believe God.
[17:00] Dare believe God. Dare believe God. Dare believe God. Dare believe God. He said, lift up your eyes and see. He said, the camels of Drederam, Isaiah.
[17:11] He said, the camels are coming with your sons and daughters. He said, just lift up your eyes and see. He said, you haven't watched. Lift up your eyes and look around you. There are testimonies already happening, but you forgot them.
[17:25] No. This is what I mean. Others. God has already done it for others. So that you can look at them to know that He will do it for you.
[17:39] But unfortunately, you've lost sight of what God has already done for you and others. And Satan has managed or circumstances have managed to convince you that this situation you are dealing with is exclusive.
[17:56] That is not only exclusive, it's conclusive.
[18:09] So you have concluded based on the estimation you have credited to the situation that is so exclusive. So you have run a conclusion that no.
[18:20] Anyway, whatever will happen will happen. The devil is alive. Be strong! Be strong! Be strong! What is the point in pursuing a God you can't believe?
[18:33] Pursuing a God you can't believe. Pursuing a God you can't believe. If you believe God, then why are you not counting on His sovereignty?
[18:46] Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. He is not distant. He is with us. Emmanuel is with us. Emmanuel is with us.
[19:01] Emmanuel is with us. That means God is not too far. And because He is sovereign, He is not too weak that He can't do some stuff.
[19:12] Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. It's not because my foot is on a stone, but because my faith is built on him.
[19:26] Let me tell you, see what God is about to do in charis. For you shall not see wind. You shall not see wind.
[19:43] You shall not see rain. Yet this valley will be filled with water. Somebody scream, I believe in the sovereignty of God.
[20:00] You shall not see wind. You shall not see rain. Yet God said, this valley, normally it takes wind and rain for the valley to be filled.
[20:11] Yet this valley shall be filled with water. This valley shall be filled with water. In the name of Jesus. Stop asking where is the rain.
[20:24] It's none of your business. If you can't make the rain fall, stop asking where is the rain. If you can't command the wind to blow, stop asking where is the wind.
[20:36] What you can do is to trust God who said water is coming for you to drink. You are not going to get stranded in the desert situation you are finding yourself in.
[20:51] It looks so bleak. It looks so desert like. It looks so hopeless. Paul. Paul. The Bible says that in the midst of all the situation.
[21:04] When all hope of being saved was gone. Paul stood in the midst of them. He stood up in the midst of them. He said men and brethren.
[21:18] He stood up. Acts chapter 27. From verse 20. Or from verse 18. He says that. Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days. And no small tempest was upon us.
[21:29] And all hope that we should be saved was finally. You see that finally. You see that finally. Paul said this will not be finally for me. That's why he's introducing a final say to you.
[21:44] A final do. There was. All hope of being saved was finally given up. Watch what happened. Verse 21. But after a long abstinence.
[21:56] After a long abstinence of food. Then Paul stood up. He stood up. In the midst of them. And said men. You should have listened to him.
[22:06] Not to have sailed from Crete. And he cared all this. But look at the next verse. He says that. And now I urge you to take heart. For. I urge you to take charge.
[22:23] You know the advantage. 20 sorry. I mean 20. All hope. Was finally given up. The hope. That they should be saved.
[22:34] All hope. That they should be saved. Was finally. Giving up. But. There was. There was a prophet on board. Pastor. If Paul hadn't spoken.
[22:46] They would have died. Paul felt like preaching. Preaching to them. About Christ who died.
[22:58] Resurrected. But he felt like. No. That's not a prophetic message. He said. To them. Be strong.
[23:10] There was. There was a prophet on board. And announced to them. The other side of the matter. I'm announcing to somebody. This seems to be a boat.
[23:23] Of simmering. Heaviness. In people's hearts. It's simmering. It's growing. People are getting worried.
[23:35] And different reasons. Different reasons. Some people their health. Others their family. Others their marriages. Others their jobs. Others their finances. Others their spiritual. Others their ministry.
[23:47] Others what am I even doing now. I'm like this. I'm not doing. I don't know what is happening. I'm in the church. I don't. I don't. Others are weakened. You used not to talk like that. But Satan has weakened you.
[24:00] So. You are spewing out. Can you imagine. You are coughing blood. But you don't know. You think it's. No. It's not normal for you to be talking away. You are coughing blood. It's an emergency.
[24:13] It's a red flag. But I came to tell you. Finally my brethren. Finally my brethren. This is family matter. My brethren.
[24:26] Finally my brethren. Be strong in the Lord. Why? Because there will not be lost of any life.
[24:36] In other words. What you fear. Will not happen. There is a father.
[24:49] There is a mother. Listening to me right now. You have to be strong. To determine the. Out of examination result outcome. You keep going.
[25:00] Weak. Weak. Weak. The results are coming. But the reason. That's the one who doesn't understand. The sovereignty of God. This is the time. You have to be strong. It's going to be. It shall be.
[25:11] It shall be. It shall be. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. I believe God. I'm not afraid. I believe in the sovereignty of God.
[25:21] I believe in the sovereignty of God. I believe in the sovereignty of God. I believe in the sovereignty of God. I believe in the sovereignty of God. I believe in the sovereignty of God.
[25:33] Somebody shout. I believe in the sovereignty of God. I believe in the sovereignty of God. God is sovereign. We are not. Fear not.
[25:45] be strong. He said, have I not told you? Be strong. In Joshua chapter 1 verse 7, verse 7 says, only, that's all.
[25:59] The only thing you have to, just one thing, just one thing, just one thing. Only, only, only be strong and of a good courage.
[26:10] Only be strong and very, that's all. That's all. What happened in the past? What has happened to you recently? The situation, you are confused.
[26:21] You don't even know what about it. Hey, wait, wait, wait. Only be strong. And he told us what we should be strong in. Be strong in the Lord and be strong in the grace.
[26:34] The grace that is in the Lord Jesus Christ. That's what we'll take you to. We'll take you through this difficult time. There's strength available for you. Amen. Amen.
[26:46] Well, tell somebody, I believe in the sovereignty of God. I believe in the sovereignty of God. Sovereignty of God. That's why we pray.
[26:57] That's it. Prayer is an expression of, I believe in the sovereignty of God. I believe in the sovereignty of God.
[27:07] You might be hearing all kinds of negative news, things happening to others. Believe in the sovereignty of God for supernatural immunity. I don't know what's threatening you.
[27:23] Documents. Job. Finances. Mortgage. You're about to lose your house. Don't worry. It won't happen. I said, it won't happen.
[27:37] Didn't Paul tell them that we are not drowning? When all hope was lost, that's when Paul said, just believe me. Wow. Believe me.
[27:49] The reason why he brought the 21 issue, the reason why I told them you should have listened to me is that for them to know that, listen, when I'm talking, it's not coming from after eating. Why would you be stranded on the high seas when you have a prophet in your boat?
[28:10] The same thing happened to the disciples. There was a storm. Jesus was sleeping. It was his presence that matters. You don't drown in the seas.
[28:22] Others do. They never live to tell the story. But you live to tell the story. Yeah. Thank you for listening to this message by David Entry.
