A GENERATION WITH BETTER PROMISES

Pr. Geoffrey Kibombo

Luke 10:23-24 (MSG)

He then turned in a private aside to his disciples. “Fortunate the eyes that see what you’re seeing! 24 There are plenty of prophets and kings who would have given their right arm to see what you are seeing but never got so much as a glimpse, to hear what you are hearing but never got so much as a whisper.”

We are blessed to be in a generation of the dispensation of the Holy Spirit. Many prophets and sovereigns wanted to see what we see but they were not given the opportunity; for we have better promises than what our fore fathers had!

In the Old Testament days, God was on Israel's side in their battles - He was with them a couple of times but not always as is the case in this generation. They went into the presence of God only thrice a year at the sanctuary of the festivals. Deuteronomy 16:16 (TLB) says; “Every man in Israel shall appear before the Lord your God three times a year…..” We are blessed because we are continually in the presence of God: He dwells in us and we are the temple of the Holy Spirit.

We have better chances of defeating our challenges than the earlier believers in the Old Testament. If they were victorious then, we are much more victories now - we can achieve much more because have no hindrances; we can go to the Holy of Holies unlike them who had representatives. Hebrews 10:19-20 (TLB) says; “And so, dear brothers, now we may walk right into the very Holy of Holies, where God is, because of the blood of Jesus. 20 This is the fresh, new, life-giving way that Christ has opened up for us by tearing the curtain—his human body—to let us into the holy presence of God.” 

Our sacrifice was paid in full with the precious blood of Jesus, it never lacked anything. That is why witchcraft and curses cannot defeat us because of the perfect sacrifice Christ paid. No blood or any form of sacrifice can prevail against the sacrifice Jesus made for us at the cross. 1 Peter 1:18-19 (TLB) says; “God paid a ransom to save you from the impossible road to heaven which your fathers tried to take, and the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver as you very well know. 19 But he paid for you with the precious lifeblood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God."

In the Old Testament, whenever they sinned, they sacrificed animals but the blood of animals just covered their sin, for it didn’t take away sin. Hebrews 10:4-5 (NLT) teaches; ‘For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5 That is why, when Christ came into the world, he said to God, "You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings. But you have given me a body to offer.' We are in a better covenant which speaks better things than the blood of animals. We were bought with the precious blood of Jesus which;

• Cleanses us. Isaiah 1:18 (NLT) - “…….Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.
• Takes away our sin. John 1:29 (NLT) – “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” 

We are in a covenant that speaks better things than any other blood. Jesus rendered all forms of sacrifices devoid of power; no harm can be done by way of sacrifice or any kind of sorcery. Hebrews 12:24 (AMP) says; “And to Jesus, the Mediator of a new covenant [uniting God and man], and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks [of mercy], a better and nobler and more gracious message............"
You are blessed to hear what you hear and see what you see, don’t take it for granted!!

2016 – YEAR OF WONDERS

Pr. James Victor Lubwama

1 Corinthians 2:9 (NIV)

“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him 

God has enabled us to come to the end of  2015 and more importantly, he has been so faithful unto his word of creating a New World – Our 2015 Prophetic Word. Physically, we have seen his word at work in this ministry. He has constructed and tremendously transformed; the Miracle Arena, parking lot and our church in a very short time. God has been on our side, for we wouldn’t have made it on our own.

Before God works, He first sends His word, and then you ready thyself for it. After speaking, He then comes forth to fulfill what He has spoken. In 2015, God spoke and said “I am going to create a New World”. Some people have lived that word, some haven’t seen the new world while others never even believed or perceived the word.

Around May, 2015 the Lord again spoke to me saying; I am not creating the New World in 2015 only but that’s the inception. What God spoke won’t stop in 2015 but will continue up to the coming years.

The Lord called me to speak and my Ministry is via speaking - Prophetic ministry. Whether I speak something big or small, it’s accompanied by the Holy Ghost power. The words I speak are not mine, am just a conduit: I download from the heavenly database and I proclaim! The words that I speak are of God communicated through the mouth of a mortal man - For I was called to speak with a prophetic voice to the nations. That’s my calling!

If you want God’s word to work for you, you need to; ready your heart and believe what he says – believing is for the heart not head and when you believe, you have got to confess that which you believeth. 

God has worked for both the Born Again and the non-converts but the prerequisite is to believe his word – Faith. If you have faith and believe His word just like children believe what their parents promise them without having to worry how dad or mum will make it happen, God is faithful, he will work for you.

We have just celebrated Christmas but when angel Gabriel told Mary words that were far beyond her understanding and how they would materialize (Luke 1:26-38), she was baffled. Apparently when Mary realised that what had been prophesied unto her was overwhelming, she humbled herself and believed the word. I like her response in Luke 1:38 (NASB) – “.........may it be done to me according to your word.”

This year I expect you to make such a statement - "may it be done to me according to your word" because if you put the things God has told me to communicate to you in your mind, they will neither have a starting point nor make sense, but if you believe, and let it be as the servant of God has spoken, you will see God at work in your life. The only thing you've got to do when God speaks is to; receive, believe and confess the word as you hear it

Last year, God gave us a prophetic word and this year again, God told me something; 2016 is a year of wonders. The Lord told me that the multitude of miracles birthed in this country 38 years ago in the first revival of Pastors Kayiwa and Kayanja – First movement of miracles in Uganda is going to be revived. These two men of God with God conveyed the mantle of miracles.  

Starting this year, in this very place, in this very church and ministry, that arm of miracles is going to be realised once again. The miracles that you heard of in those days are going to be witnessed in Nangabo and many people will be marveled

In this very year, things are going to be renewed. God is going to expand territories of his people. If you had five, you going to get ten and one who had ten is going to get twenty. In this year, God is going to expand your territories. Your businesses, ventures, careers, borders and this ministry as well, are going to broaden. As a result of that, many people are going to turn back to God. 

In this year of Wonders, God is going to do a quick profound job. You will see and live this message if you believe it. There be will lots of divine transformations in and around your life but you won’t understand how things will be happening because God is going to be doing it his way - His ways are not our ways. God is going to bless you with packages you know nothing about and thus the fulfillment of the scripture; “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him - 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NIV)

Those who have been praying for certain things for a long time are going to be amazed when God blesses them with greater things. He has been packaging them and He is now ready to present them to you. Those who have been despised will never be despised again. What you don’t deserve is what God is granting you this year if you believe and cling unto his word!

The moment you accept the message, then the angles will begin to post your packages. You may doubt this message for three months, but in the fourth month, if you conceive and believe it, then wonders will be activated.

Our church building, the Miracle Arena and the newly acquired parking lot are all miracles. They are multi-million projects but it’s not that we have multi-millionaires among us, however, we believe a living God who does wonders and this same Almighty God - the creator of heaven and earth is going to do wonders for you

Note that whenever God begins to make wonders, antagonistic circumstances arise. When you believe and serve God, there are things you go through and one of them is persecution. Jesus cautioned his disciples in Mark 10:29-30 (NLT) 
“I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property, for my sake and for the Good News, 30 will receive now in return a hundred times as many houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and property—along with persecution. And in the world to come that person will have eternal life.” 

I used to think that persecution means torture or massacre like what happened to the Uganda martyrs, but that’s not the case. For example; if you get rapid promotions at your workplace, there are negative promotions as well. Some work colleagues, friends and perhaps relatives will persecute you. How? They might bewitch, talk extremely negative about you in order tarnish your name before your bosses and, if you attain nationwide or worldwide fame, they will label you as Illuminati. All those are forms of persecution aimed at rupturing your heart. So when God blesses you, persecution usually comes along. Watch out, and don’t tumbledown when the enemy opens his paws but always be plugged into God.      

God is going to do wonders for you this year.
