The thing that you have that God has put in your heart concerning today's gathering, bring it before the Lord this morning In the name of Jesus, open your anointed lips and say a word of prayer to the Lord this morning concerning what you have come in his presence with.

In the mighty name of Jesus, Father Lord, we ask, oh God, that by your Spirit, oh God, a word be released, oh God, to touch every life that is present here today in the mighty name of Jesus. Father Lord, we pray that you meet everyone, oh God, at the point of our need today in Jesus' mighty name. Hallelujah, hallelujah! Welcome to Sunday morning worship. One more scripture, we're going to pray one more prayer before we continue with the rest of the service. Hallelujah! Joel 2:32: And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, even among the survivors whom the Lord calls. This morning I want us to pray for hearts that will call unto the Lord. Let us pray this morning. Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, we pray that every eye will be fixed upon Jesus this morning.

Father, Lord God, we pray for the spirit of deliverance to manifest in the midst of your people this morning, oh God, in the mighty name of Jesus. Those in the sanctuary and those who are connecting from everywhere, Father, let your spirit of deliverance be released, oh God. For your word says, oh God, that you send forth your word, oh God, You sent forth your word and you healed them, oh God, from their troubles and diseases.

Father Lord, we thank you, oh God, that everyone that you are calling today, oh God, will answer in the mighty name of Jesus.

Amen.

Amen. Can I have an amen?

Amen. Can I have an amen?

Amen.

Lift up your hands, everybody. Ask the Lord to open your hearts to receive. Open my heart to receive the word of the Lord. Ask the Lord to open your heart to receive the word of the Lord.

Hallelujah!

Ask the Lord to open your heart to receive the word of the Lord this morning. Hallelujah! I need your voice like fire. Lord, open my heart to receive your word in the name of Jesus. Open my heart to receive the prophetic word this morning by the power of the Holy Ghost.

Open my eyes, open my mind in the name of Jesus.

I've been I rebuke the enemy. Hallelujah! I rebuke destruction by the power of the Holy Ghost in the name of Jesus. I want you to— I want you to walk up to somebody and tell them the Lord is saying, is your time to recover all.

The time to recover all. To recover, to recover all. It's my time to recover, to recover, to recover all. It's my time to recover. Come on, come on, it's my time to recover all, all, all. Recover all by fire. It's my time to recover all.

Anything the enemy took, I'm recovering in the name of Jesus.

You know the word— keep standing— you know the word recover comes from two words. The prefix in English, it means to re- Go back and uncover. Go back and cover, or go back and uncover. Tell somebody, I'm going back to take everything the enemy has stolen this year.

Everything that missed on the way, everything that was messed up on the way, I want it to recover. Let me hear somebody begin to shout, recover by fire! I recover all, I recover all by fire! I recover everything stolen from me! Recover all now, right now, right now, right now.

I want it.

Everything I miss, everything was stolen, taken from me by force. Now I recover by fire. My health has been recovered. I recovered my health in the name of Jesus. I've got fire in my bones.

Loose your hold!

I recover, I recover, I recover, I recover.

Planker worms, caterpillars, caterpillars.

Stole from me, now, now return by fire. I take it in the name of Jesus. I recover this week in the name of Jesus. Let your amen be the loudest.

Amen. The years that were wasted, I'm recovering. Are there prophets in the house?

The years that are wasted, the years are wasted, the monies that were wasted, collections wasted. Now come to me in the name of Jesus. Come to me right now. Come to me right now in the name of Jesus.

I speak it in the name of Jesus. Many times, hear the word of the Lord. Let me say this quickly before you sit down, because I tend to speak, but I don't want you to listen alone. I want your mind to create the pictures of your expectation.

Attention.

When you say recover, I want you to see things coming back to you.

Am I talking to someone?

When I say recover, I want you to see like your house is open to receive. Somebody say, my house is open to receive.

My house is open to receive.

Everything I'm recovering.

Everything I'm recovering.

If you believe, shout the loudest.

Amen.

1 Samuel chapter 30. Go there. I want you to go there. 1 Samuel chapter 30. Recovery, recovery. 1 Samuel chapter 30, verse 1. And it happened, it say, came to pass that when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, and that the Amalekites had invaded the south and smitten Ziklag, burnt it with fire, and had all taken the women, the sons, and their daughters captives, that they were, they were therein, and they slew not any. Are you there? Let me read this translation. It says, verse 2, and they had, and had taken captives the women and those who were there. From small to great, they did not kill any. Did you hear that?

Yes.

But carried them away and went their way. Can I have an amen?

Amen.

It's important that you know, by the Spirit, I'm talking to somebody, that your life is protected All the devil can do is to steal, but God is saying you are recovering it now.

Amen.

Let your amen be prophetic. So I want to give you the story now. The word there, ziklag, means pressed down. The word in Hebrew for ziklag means pressed down. Those of you who have been pressed down this whole week, this whole year, God is restoring the anointing to bounce back.

Amen.

I need an amen like fire.

Amen.

So let me give you this story of this thing that's happening there, why it is important. Now, do you know by the protocol of God that where you are is as relevant as who you are? It's so important. That God would also bless where you are because of who you are and bless who you are because of where you are. Let me say that again. If God wants you to go to New York and you are used to praying, the blessing won't come. Very strategic. When God meets with Abraham, he said, go there. Abraham was here. So if you are going to recover, you must leave here and go there. I did not hear amen.

Amen.

So it's important to understand that Ziklag is very important to David because remember the Bible says that when David was being harassed by King Saul, the Bible said David with over 100 men, they ran to Ziklag. They ran to Ziklag because Saul was trying to kill them. Very important. And I hope you know that just after the prophet died, Samuel, Saul rose up and began to fight David. Because the fight Saul had with David, because he was on the throne, but God has anointed David over the throne that Saul had. But God was protecting David by the prophet. So when the prophet died, Saul began to attack, because in Israel there became two kings— one that is called and ordained by God to be king over those captives But God says concerning Saul that he has rejected Saul. So Saul no more had the mantle of God, but God had already chosen David, a man after God's heart. Can I have an amen?

Amen.

So in your territory, there can be an illegal king who is over where God has called you to be king.

Yeah.

Did you get what I just said? Because Saul was on the throne, but David had the anointing.

So it's important where you are and who you are. So even though Saul was king over Israel, God's hand was upon David. And when Saul fought David, David wanted to fight back, but the problem is that God's hand is still on Saul even though Saul had missed God.

So it's important sometimes when you fail, you judge your failure by what you failed at. Not knowing that your failure is the state of a condition that is not permanent until God decides to lift up his hand upon you. Now, what am I saying?

So Saul begins to fight David, and God say— the Bible says that Saul— now David now ran to Ziklag. When he got to Ziklag, he had men with him. He had anointing, but there was no throne.

He had grace, but there was no throne.

Then when he got to Ziklag, he met a king. I think it was called Ascalon. He met the king. And he said to the king, can you give me Ziklag? And the king said to him, why would I give you Ziklag? And David said, if you give us Ziklag, we will be loyal to you. And the Bible said the king gave David to become the ruler over Ziklag.

Many times the things that you fail at are the things that God will use to promote you. Amen. Are you hearing me? Amen.

When God says recover, he's not telling you to go and start something new. He's not going to go and look for something new. He's saying that there's something you missed on the way that I'm about to bring back in your life that will be good for you. I need an amen. So for 16 months, David was there with his men, destitute.

They were worried, broke, broke brothers, but they were— God was training them to become warriors. Can I have an amen?

So when Satan steals from you, God enlists you as an army. Where instead of takes from you, God says, no, it's not over. I'm going to bring you in my house and equip you. So some of you, the things you lost, you thought you lost some things. No, it was God training you so you can go back and get it back. Somebody says, I'm receiving it right now.

Are you following me?

So the Bible says, so in Ziklag, David becomes the temporary king over Ziklag.

Very powerful. Ziklag is a place where the prophet comes and anoints him as king. Ziklag is a place where the king gives him the territory. But the Bible says Ziklag was the same place where the Amalekites came and defeated and burned down everything that David had. Do I have some folks here that have lost some things the last few is. I did not hear amen. Do I have some folks that are hearing the word of the Lord right now, that God is saying you are recovering? That amen is not good. And God said to—

God, the Lord said—

look at this— the Lord said to David to pursue, overtake, and recover. Are you there? If you look, go down, you see overtake. Look at verse 7, very important. In verse 7, it says, and David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, bring me the ephod here, bring the ephod here to me. And Abiathar brought the ephod to David. So David inquired of the Lord. God, what am I going to do? The Lord said, you shall pursue the troop, and I shall overcome them. And he answered, pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all. Did he say some? Let me tell you what's going on here. Sometimes the thing you think you lost is the thing that God wants you to find.

Can I have an amen?

Very important. So David was in Ziklag, and the Amalekites goes in to take the children and everything. But there's something there that God showed me this morning. He said, even though the Amalekites invaded the camp of David at Ziklag, they couldn't do anything. They couldn't kill the women, they couldn't kill the servants. All they could do was to help hold them. Do you see that? And I asked, why would they hold them? And God said that whatever the devil stole from you, he didn't take it, he's holding it for you to come pick it back.

Amen.

Amen.

I just said it. So that job you you lost, God is just holding it until you come back and take it back. He said pursue and overtake, recover.

I'm speaking prophetically, that many of you, you've lost your relationship, you thought it was over. No, God still has something better for you. I need an amen. So God says to David, go there and overtake, pursue and recover.

Now let's pause the Amalekites for a bit.

Let's go back to Saul.

So Saul begins to threaten David because before that time Saul ran from David to come to Ziklag, right? So, but this is the problem.

So when God— David wants to kill— many of you, you fight illegally.

Do you know that your prayers are illegal prayers?

Do you know you pray illegally? The jurisdiction you have does not cover your prayer. That's why there's no miracle, because there is a time when God says pray this kind of prayer. Then it works. God says recover, but you are praying, God, give it back to me.

It won't work.

Some of you are saying, God, I want to be healed. God said no, that prayer does not have the jurisdiction. You are healed already. So when David said, God, restore me, it wasn't the time for restoration. Are you listening to me? When God says, kill them, he says, God, I'm trained for battle. You train my heart for war. Let me kill Saul.

God said, don't touch Saul.

So David would have been praying like some of you, oh God, kill my enemy, kill my enemy, kill them, let them die on Monday. God said no, they'll die on Wednesday, but you pray for Monday, and now Monday you pray, God didn't answer, you got angry.

No, he said to David, don't touch Saul because— oh my God, this is powerful.

Some of you, let me teach you something quickly.

Do you know that some of you— I told you when we started that where you are is as relevant as who you Listen, listen, listen.

There are some battles that you cannot win until you change the ground in which you are praying.

Let me break it down.

So David could not win Saul because the battle ground was wrong. And the Bible says that when Saul and his boys and his family went to Ziklag, there David was not there. Saul killed himself. Why? Because God knew that the battle to defeat Saul was going to be in the place where Saul chased David to. So many times your house is too fortified by the enemy, you won't win some battles there.

Let me say that again.

Sometimes to recover the things that God has given— wants to give you, you need to step out from where you are. For the Bible says Jesus Christ had just come down from the mountain, fasted 40 days and 40 nights.

Satan came right that moment. I have a question for you: why didn't the devil come when Jesus was in the fasting? I have another question for you. The Bible said when Satan came, he left him for some time. Are you there? There are some battles of recovery that you need to get out of yourself and get out of crying. You know what I've been through? Get out of that mindset because we're in the mindset of recovery now, and you're in the right place to recover.

This is not the time to count what you lost, but to count what you're about to gain. This is not the time to count what happened. This is time to count what's about to happen because the ground has changed. David could not be Saul until Saul came to the land where he was defeated.

Hallelujah!

Sometimes your children will not listen to you, because you're in their house. They need to come to your house, then they are settled.

You didn't hear me?

Some battles of recovering would happen at that moment until you change the ground.

And the Bible says David— he's listening now— Saul now kills himself in the same place that Saul pursued David to. Ziklag, the same place where the enemy thought he was going to bring shame to you, is the place God will kill the enemy.

Amen. Are you with me? The same place where you lost everything is the same place God want to say, I'll start with you. Let me break it down. Hallelujah. When God is saying recover all, he's not telling you to stay in the place of crying.

He said move from crying now so your eyes can be clear and you can see what I have for you.

Hallelujah. David had to leave Ziklag for to die in Ziklag.

Amen.

Break it down. Some of you here, where you are standing is where the enemy needs to die.

Amen.

Are you listening to me?

So if you— where you are standing, huh, is where you need to vacate it so that the enemy can take your place. Hallelujah. Because God says recover this. Recover means return the COVID change your position. And the Bible say David comes in and all the women were killed.

And all the sons were taken. And David did something so powerful. He says to Abidah, that's his name, he said, go get me my ephod. You know why? He didn't just say, oh God, I'm going to die.

No, he said, give me, give me, let me put on my military regalia, let me put on my priestly prayer cloth, because this requires me to change my life. Hallelujah! So the ephod is the mantle the priest wears before they approach God, and then God can look at them as a priest. You're not going to recover if you're still crying. You're not going to recover if you're still shouting.

Put on your ephod and say, God, what do I do?

At that moment when David saw, Bible say he encouraged himself in the Lord. That's, that's, that's, that's, that's a good lesson.

Put on your weapon, put on your priestly garments, put on some warship. I didn't hear you.

You don't just need to put on warship, you need to enter into the warship.

You didn't get what I said?

Some of you should move your worship to warship, then the enemy will know you are in for a battle. So when David put on the garment He knew this one was different.

This is not the time to think of what you've been going through. This is the time to get through what God wants you to get through.

Now let me prophesy.

Hallelujah!

You see, if you are still— if you still have the mentality of what's going on in my life, this is not for you. This is for people who have counted what they have lost.

Now it's time to gain.

Hallelujah! Am I talking to somebody? I hear— I kept hearing the last 3 days Tell them it's time to recover. Oh, let me bring that. Hallelujah! Recover means you must put on the epon. What does that mean? Prepare your house. You can't ask God to fill your pantry if your pantry is full of expired food. You must clear those pantries because God is bringing you. So am I talking to somebody? You can't say, God, fill my money. Am I talking to somebody? It's like you say, God, fill my pantry, and the angel opens the door.

Opens your pantry and see expired milk, expired cut beef, expired can of— what do you call it again?

All the cans.

What is—

there's a special can. So I'm coming, can you use for pasta?

God help me. Cream.

What's that?

Spaghetti.

Spaghetti. Some of you have spaghetti that you shouldn't have given out, and meat that you should— some of you, your refrigerator, God can bless you. Because you have meat that is frozen for the last 50 years.

Am I talking to somebody?

You know you don't need the meat, but you want the fridge to be full. Oh, I got my fridge full. Girl, you better empty that fridge and give to people who don't have so your pantry can be full. Stop calling things that God wants to recover, God wants to bless you. You have shoes that you should give out to people, clothes you should give out to people, but you're saying I don't have food. Listen, you recover this, but first of all, put on the ephod, clear yourself spiritually so so that God can give you what he has for you.

Am I talking to somebody?

David, Bible say, some of you are still there inquiring of the Lord, crying.

No, that is for encouraging the Lord. David did not get the breakthrough by encouraging himself. To encourage yourself means to, to, to say whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever of whatever happened, whatever. No, that's to psych yourself mentally and call yourself in the Lord means to take the scripture and walk your feet. No, another time come when your feet is pumped up and say, God, whatever it is, I'll go into the mouth of the lion to get it because I want whatever was stolen from me.

I'm no longer in the state of crying and complaining and wishing and wondering. What God could have done, what God is not doing. That's not the mentality to recover. The mentality to recover is God will show me what I lost. In case I miss it, I want it back.

He put on his priestly garments.

Amen.

And he was ready. Now let me tell you something. And then God told him, pursue. Let me ask you a question.

If we say pursue, how ready is your pursuit?

How ready are you? If we say jump now, some of us will take us 2 years to get up from the chair.

We're so exhausted. Ask you what's going on, you say, I'm so tired, I couldn't sleep last night, the devil was poking me, whipping me, and whipping me, and whipping me, and whipping me. I'm so tired of him. No, that's not for you.

We're talking about people, they say, stand up, yes, I've been through some warfare, but I'm still strong, ready to pursue.

That's what I'm talking about. God looks for pursuers. Pursuers. Hallelujah. Let me ask you a question. David did not ask God how far is the pursuit. Some of you got to give an instruction. You want God to come down with an angel with a notebook and a piece of paper and your name on it, telling you A A B B C D. Let me tell you something.

Pursue means to stand up first of all and be ready, whatever it takes.

That's all you need to pursue.

God tell you, pursue the north, from the south, east.

Some of you want to know, God, where should I pursue? God said pursue means be ready north, south, east, west, center, even on top, beneath. Everywhere you are ready to go after it, by force. Listen, it don't matter how many times you fail, he says get up and run. Now, 7 o'clock, this is the week to get up and do what you've never done before. Get up and do what you've never done before. This is not the week to sit on bed, in your bed, put a blanket and say check the weather for me. I'm feeling a little bit out of the weather. This is not the week. Hallelujah! This is not the season. Am I talking to somebody? This is not the season to say I don't feel like praying. I'm down. Keep your down where it is. God is looking for pursuers. Do I have pursuers here? If you are a pursuer, stand up and say, God, I can pursue in the name of Jesus. Take your seat. This is time for pursuers. This is not the time for—

No, this is the season of pursuit. This is the— I'm coming after you.

I'm coming. He said pursue means I'm coming. Let me pray something. Hallelujah.

Be careful that what you failed at will not be the block for you to go— to stop from going after. Did you hear what I just said? Be careful that what you're fighting has not already defeated you before you are fit for the fight. Be careful. This is not the week to be weak. Say, Lord, this is the week to pursue. If you say, 'Well, pursue what?' There's something that's been in your spirit that you feel could have been— it's yours. God gave it to you. It don't matter what it is. You tell God, 'I'm going to pursue, overtake, and recover.' Are you listening to me? This is not the week— listen to me— this is not the week to be like 12 spies, 10 spies who says the job There are so many giants. This is the week to say we are able to take it by fire. This is the week to say, you know what, I've been through hell but I came out, and now it's time I'm going to heaven.

Hallelujah! This is the week that the Lord will recover her. This is— let me explain something to you. Oh, I want to say this. So the Bible says— oh, this is so powerful.

So the Bible says, I don't know what David was doing. If I were David and I heard that it was my week of coffee and the enemy was in Ziklag, I go have some Starbucks, I go drink some coffee at home, I go make myself some pancake because I know the enemy is about to be slayed, right?

Slayed, right?

So David hears that there's a battle in Ziklag and David becomes silent. Can I tell you something? When you recover, you don't talk, you just move with speed. When you recover, when you are going to pursue, you don't talk. You sneak it at night to take what belongs to you. You don't tell everybody, guess what, guess, guess, guess what. Am I talking to somebody?

This is the week to go like a sniper.

Move. But this is not the week to say, you know what, guess what.

He's trying to announce it. When David heard that Saul is in Ziklag, he kept quiet until Saul killed himself. And they came to David and said, guess what, Saul is dead. David didn't say— he said, let it not be heard in Gath. You know why? It's not about the enemy dying, it's about you taking your space.

Amen. It's not about you looking at what what happened to your ex.

It's about you moving on. Am I talking to somebody?

It's not, it's not about you looking at all your enemies are doing.

Yes, my enemies just got promoted. You know, you go back to God.

Sister Makina just got promoted.

This is season of looking inwardly and knowing that your next level It's about you.

And let me tell you something, this is the season when God says pursue. It don't matter who is in front of you, you get your bulldozer. Am I talking to somebody? And you bombard that enemy. He don't— this is not a thing to pursue. That, that word pursue is a military term.

Let me teach you the law of pursuing, that if somebody is driving at 100 miles per hour You must do 120 to pursue that guy. I can't hear you.

If I'm pursuing you and you're doing 100 miles per hour, I dare not do 10 miles per hour.

Say, I'm pursuing Sister Lee, she's on 100 miles per hour, I'm on 10.

No, I have to pursue Lee. Means if she's doing 100, I'm 120. I'm stopping that 100.

When police are chasing you, they're not They don't want to tell you the reality. They want to pass you.

Am I talking?

Oh, let me teach you something. Do you know why?

Do you know why? Why?

Why?

Why? They want—

one of the reasons why the driving limit was initiated, do you know why? It wasn't just to protect you. It was to empower the cops.

Because they put it at 30 miles per hour. If you do 40, they do 50 because they want to slow you down so they can overtake you.

Am I talking?

To pursue means to slow. You're driving so fast that it slows the enemy down. Do you understand what I'm saying? You didn't catch what I said, huh? You are so fast that the enemy looks like he's walking. Hallelujah! When the cops come against you and they're pursuing you, they're not going to be complaining, oh, easy.

On the radio, oh, he's doing 80 per hour.

No, they go 100. Why? They want to corner you. That's what overtake means, means to go at the speed you've never gone before so you can stop whatever was stolen from you and recover it and bring it back.

God is saying this is a week for recovery, and David hears that. Look at me. David hears that Some of you, some of you, how many of you are like this? When an accident happens on the road, you kind of slow down to see, right? I was in London and the man— there was an accident on the way, M9, I can't remember where it was. The man slowed the thing down and there was traffic behind us and I shouted, sir, what is your business? He said, I just want to see what's going on there.

Some of you are like that, you want to see what the enemy is doing.

Okay, I need to be sure.

No, that's not your business. Stay on pursuing her, stay on moving her, stay, keep staying on pursuing, because the enemy knows that you want to take over, so he wants to distract you.

And you know, every time I used to be like that, when an accident happens, I don't worry.

Who is that?

What is that? What happened? I slow my thing, I wear my neck outside. Auntie told me, when the sun be on your leg, so you don't be like the accident that just took place. Many of us are like that. We look at what's happening everywhere else. Oh, they're bombing the whole world.

What is your business?

Pray for them, move on. Oh, there's corona. All the people used to have died, but you have not died of corona, so move on.

God has a plan for you. Don't take— oh, there's a storm coming. Yes, there's a storm coming. Move on. Hallelujah. Because everything in life will slow you down, slow your speed down. Even this morning Let me talk to you.

I saw some of you, oh, the time really changed. How many of you thought, woke up this morning, ah, it was really sky high? But if I ask you now, how many years have you known that the time changes?

So you were born into it, right?

So what happened today? No, you are not ready.

You are not ready. So you take your time. Some of you take 20 years to come out of the shower. Some of you take 20 years to wear your shoe. Some of you, your makeup takes you 50 years.

Some of you, the driving is like load. You know what?

You're not pursuing.

How many, how many of you have kids when they were growing up, they are pursuers?

They pursue McDonald's. McDonald's.

They pursue Kipa.

Number 1, hamburger, and cook.

Brother, you just told me about that 2 minutes ago. Can you give me some moment? They come back again.

When are we going?

We are going, but you are taking your time as a mom and a father. You just take your time, leisurely, because it's a whole driving, you know. Not now where you have the Uber, Uber Eats, even that's expensive. When you really want to drive to shop, you just take your time. But the boy is just You give them sandwich?

No.

For some, this is the same McBean, that the same thing we buy from Hesed Ojieh. It's the same sandwich. It's just, just— no, no, no, no, no. I want to buy before you know they finish it. So fast, you lay at home. Yes, that's what a pursuer is. Your mind is focused on what you want, no matter what happens. You are going after it. That's what the Father is looking for. Pursuers who can go and take what God has for them this week.

I must pursue. Tell somebody, tell somebody, I must.

I didn't hear you. I must.

I must. And the Bible says, as soon as— now my question is this. The Bible says, as soon as Saul dies, David becomes king. Ziklag. Let me ask a question. What if David was like, sister talk too much, who's been waiting for God to bless her for 16 months but did nothing, and when it was time to pursue, it was good time to pursue because we're sitting there waiting for so long, they don't even know where God was preparing him. Do you know the problem you went through was for God to prepare you to move like speed? Do you know? But when you sat down and was crying, God said, I was preparing you. I thought you'll be stopping, ready to run. No, David was preparing himself. He was training men, men that would go forward. And do what God has for them. Let me tell you the difference between a pursuer and a loser. A loser is the one that's waiting for later miracle to happen. Later miracle. Oh, Prophet's program is 10 PM, there can be a miracle today. When they say pray, you're praying, you're praying, you're praying, you're praying. Then after the program is finished, you are down. I don't know if this terminology works. Because I still have the HRT bills, I've not paid them. After my prayers, then tomorrow they say there's prayer, Pastor is doing prayer. One hour prayer finishes, then you get an alert telling you that you're behind on your notes. Then all the faith you have now drops. At that moment you can't pick any calls, and if you pick any calls, you just say Brother Hesed Ojieh, it's not easy. Few weeks ago you were on fire. That's all I'm talking about. Prepare means I'm ready, I'm hungry, I'm going after. It doesn't matter what I see as real, it doesn't matter what is the fact, but the truth remains that God is saying I will recover. Sitting here this morning, hallelujah! Let me prophesy. There are many of you that have been waiting, and let me tell you something. Hallelujah! You will wait until you grow to be 92+ and nothing will happen. God is not looking for people who are waiting, he's looking for people who are pursuing. Hallelujah! People who say, I'll go after it, I'll go after it.

A lady went to a job interview, hallelujah, and she started job interview, hallelujah. And beside her, hallelujah, was another candidate who came for the same interview, and they were just talking just talking, just talking.

The one, the other one was saying, man, I'm excited, I'm excited, this job is mine. Then the one that was there was saying, wow. So they just got talking, and they asked, the lady asked the other lady and said, wow, is this your first job? It's your first interview? She said, oh, the lady said, oh yeah, it's my first one, it's my first one. The girl said, no, I've been here the 7th time.

And he said, she said, oh, how come you still coming back after the 7th time?

He said, because I know this is where I'm supposed to work. This is where my job is. I'll keep applying. And when he got into the interview, two of them, two of them were there.

They asked the first one who just came for the first time with her whole CV. She came with all the degrees and all the experience in her shoulder and said, I have a master and PhD and all of this. She said, ah, the other one came in. They asked her, are you here for the job? She said, yes. They said, you didn't come with the file, you didn't come with anything.

She said, no, ma. Said, now the first question is that, tell us about our company. The one with the PhD who prepared and came in did not even check what the company does, the headquarters, their products. You know what I mean?

All she just did was to pray in tongues, shaking the bones.

I know we said this to you, but you came to church and thought God would just appear on the day of the interview and just give up the door, said, my daughter, my daughter, this is your job because you have PhD. No, you are not prepared, girl.

You are not pursuing. They asked her before they could talk. He said, yes, you have a degree, you have an office in New York, you're good with drilling. And began to share the business that they have about that business to them. They said, we want to take you. We're not looking for people with degrees, we're looking for people that are ready, people that are pursuing.

Life does not give you what you want, it gives you what you can pursue.

He gives you what you can go after. You know, see, everybody has disadvantage. Let me tell you something, nobody has 25 hours. You have the same, but you know the difference? You're not a pursuer. You're sitting in your house watching Netflix and sitting in your house waiting for the man with the shining armor on the horse to come and say with the heart of mustard seed, I am thou, Hosanna.

And you just confirmed it. I say Yes, the Lord spoke it to me that thou art my husband to be.

And you must say, I received that word in the Holy Ghost. He gave me the address that there was a sister here with a light skin and long hair, and the Lord told me, hallelujah. He walks— what way does he walk?

A woman that is prepared to be a ready-to-be-married, she's already enlisting as a volunteer in all the school districts in her region because all the single men are coming with their children, kids, and they're looking for a wife.

And all the single men are— right, and all the single men are right there carrying their children. Am I talking? I'm just going— I look like when you connect with your child and hello, and woman kneels down and arranges the church uniform, and the man say, wow, this is your wife. But there's another wife who is in the house interceding.

Speak, Lord! You must— am I talking to somebody? You must pursue.

He said, but I don't know how to use computer. Then you better leave the earth, sir, because this season is for computer. Go train yourself, go equip yourself. How do you turn this thing on? No, God is looking for pursuers, people that are hungry and say, I will do what God has called me to do. I'm the best at what God has called me to do. If God has called—

listen, if God has called you to have a business, make sure you know everything. Are you here? Position yourself to be the authority in that thing. Money begins to flow. Now listen to me. Push your means to go after it. Let me talk to those of you who are broke and waiting for angels to come with money from heaven and it fell into your bedroom. If money falls into your bedroom, be careful of the wife you married, because she can take the money before you come and seek God's help to have some money. Or your husband. This is the time. If you see God has called you to be to, to be— how many millionaires do we have here? I can't hear you now.

If you're a multi-millionaire, say yes, I'm one of them. I can't hear you, say I'm one of them. Sit down.

Thank you. I see.

Let's pursue money.

God says pursue, overtake. Let me tell you what it means. Let me tell you what it means. If you have the anointing to pursue money, it means every money that comes to you, you must ask God, is this a seed Or is this a harvest? I cannot hear you. Because a seed is a divine instruction in the heart of God to you to meet a need God has. A harvest is a divine instruction from God to meet a need you have. All the money that comes to you cannot be yours.

Amen. Amen.

So be careful when you're pushing that trolley at Walmart. Yeah, that you just spent your future.

Am I talking to somebody?

That orange that's in your refrigerator, it's about to go bad. You should have bought it. The banana that almost went bad, I had to make it a milkshake. You couldn't have chewed it. Am I talking to somebody? Am I talking to somebody? Hallelujah!

So why?

Because you're multi-millionaire.

The first lesson God will teach to pursue is how to use money.

How to use money, how—

not how to spend it, how to use it, how to use it. That is how to pursue. This $5, people have invested $5 and they made millions. You have to ask God. It's not the amount you have, but the heart you have to say, God, is this money an investment, or this money is for my own investment? If you are going to say, God, is my month, is my year, is my week of recovery, You say, God, what should I not eat that I'm eating that is killing my body?

Oh, let me tell you something. I went to a restaurant a couple of months ago, and I sat in the restaurant. Listen, it's a Greek restaurant in North London. And once you come in there, they massage your hand first. And as they're massaging my hand, I'm telling the person who brought me there, he say, This massage is strategic, so I keep standing because it makes you relax. You hear what I just said? Go to restaurant, they bring you hot sauce, wash your hand, make your hand— because they know when they massage you, you are relaxed, you bring out your wallet. So I told the man, sir, don't massage me, leave my hand alone, I'm okay. So I left it. So when it was time to eat, they brought the food, I spoke in tongues. The Mediterranean food, I've not seen it before. They had all the meats present there, all the meat, the beef, the chicken, the goat, all the beef were represented in that bowl. And I looked at it and I heard the voice of the Lord say, 'Look again.' And I heard the voice of my hunger say, 'Don't look again.' So I sat down and I ate all the kinds of meat meats. Started with beef, entered chicken, entered goat, entered lamb. Let's keep going. All kinds of meats. And when it was time to leave, I couldn't leave. I was stuck there. I couldn't move.

And the lady was telling me, Prophet, are you okay?

I said, okay.

The reason why I felt—

how many of you have eaten and you feel like sleeping?

How many of you know when you overeat, just instantly you feel So I'm a makeup professional. I couldn't—

I wasn't disciplined because like, whoa. So I said, let's go, let's go, we're going to church to meet the pastor.

Hey, church! I was in church, I couldn't move.

So I told my sister, I'm just— I'm just—

can you bring the car close? Yes.

Are you I wasn't prepared, I wasn't pursuing, I wasn't disciplined, I was eating anyhow, right? So she brought the car and the trip was 10 minutes. By the second minute I slept, from the restaurant to the place was 10 minutes. I'm telling you the truth. And when we got in there, the man said, mighty prophet of God. I thought it was somebody else.

I said, I've done one thing.

The meat was digested, right, right, right, right, right. I almost— it was at the 68th minute before I began to talk. All I was saying, wow, awesome, mighty. I was exhausted.

You cannot say you're pursuing health and eat everything that comes your way.

Am I talking to somebody?

You have to This week is not the week of throwing some cupcakes and throwing some hamburgers and throwing some coffees and trying to eat a cocoa. No, this is the week to say, Father, I want to discipline myself. When God says pursue, this week is the week of discipline.

Ready? If God has it, I'll pursue it. This is not the week of carrying your iPad, your Android, your old iPad, your old Android, and what all the programs that are on those systems.

Am I talking to somebody, right?

This is the week to say, Father, I want to be strategic to one thing, to one thing, to one thing. I had a dream, you know yourself. I had a dream this morning and I saw one of you here I'm not gonna call your name. And you sat down, there was so much ideas. Oh, let me prophesy. I saw you, I saw you printing shirts, I saw you making shirts, designing.

And I said, God, why is it not working?

God says, because she's— they are not pursuing. You try the t-shirt, nobody buys it. You change it to become wrapper, you change it to become blankets. And the blanket don't work after 2 weeks, you change it now again to become a toothpaste. I said, no, I saw in the dream your designs were selling online. You were selling online different designs and people were buying. And God says she's not pursuing. If she's pursuing, she would have opened the side business and opportunity would have been I said, what do you mean? God said she's not recovering, she's not recovering, she's giving up.

Recover means you still have the idea.

Recover means it's still inside of you. Recover means that you're not giving up. But when you give up, let me tell you something, the demonic assignment of a god dream is a good idea. That art design, God said go back to it. That is your calling. Jesus took 30 years before he was known. You have to go back to it. That is your calling. You are creative. Oh, let me tell you, can I talk to somebody quickly? If you have that anointing of creativity, the greatest thing is like me, it's like me sometimes, I'm bored. Who has not said I'm bored? Who says I'm bored? You know, do you know people who say they are bored are people who have powerful creative ability. You know, psychology says that when you sound bored, it means that your mind is empty because you're not giving it assignment.

So there's nothing to do. You've done things that don't matter.

But when you now focus on one thing, your mind becomes creative because your mind is looking for an instruction, an instruction, an idea.

You put it there, it works. But when you put this idea, put that idea— so today, God is saying, there are many of you here, I don't want to call your names, that are powerful.

You are creators.

You are a You are amazing.

You see language of creation, but the problem is that yourself is not mature to pursue. Let me speak to business people here. How many of you have started?

How many of you know that God has called you to do a business?

Let me say yes. Everybody's quiet.

Somebody say yes.

See, the reason why that business is not growing has nothing to do with money. There's more. Oh my God, there's money everywhere. I was watching a program yesterday The guy wrote 4 books, 4 books, books on his website. He raised $27 million. Go Google it on Kickstarter and then just start books. How many, how many writers do we have here? And I stopped and paused. I said, what is this guy writing? So I look, what is he to see what made people give him $27 million. You know what he did? And I want to hear you. I'm curious. He said, look at this. He said, guess what everybody doing?

The party. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So why is this guy excited?

He said, this is my favorite kiss boss.

He brought, he said, he brought the copy. They gave him $27 million to publish the book he would have published on Amazon for free. 27. But now I went back and I watch the video again and again. I realized this guy is brilliant. He's not about the book, he's selling excitement. Yes, so when you first see him excited, you are in already.

He's like, he's like, how many of you have seen salespeople sell you a car you don't like and you can't afford? Wow, this car! They begin to give you specs, it flies. Whoa!

Until you sign.

Are you—

or you see a real estate person that tells you, whoa, they begin to give you specs, they know you have, you have kids.

Wow, this is the best school district. If your son goes here, wow, this— not money. If you have a dream sitting here, if you pursue this and consume doing and get excited about it. God will bring the money.

You're not yet, you're not yet pushing. You are still thinking.

It has not consumed you. Hallelujah!

Go look at it.

People are raising money everywhere only because of who they are.

Get excited with the dream that God has given you. Say how excited you are.

Say, Papa, but, but, but, but, but, but, but I need to makeup before I do the video. I don't know how to do videos until my hair is right, my lipstick right, my shirt right. That's not what people want. People are looking for solution. If you have it, use it. There are many of you here sitting here, this one God told me, the reason why you're struggling is because you don't represent what God wants you to recover from. This is the week of recovery. Can I have an amen?

Amen.

This is the week of recovery. Can I have an amen?

Amen.

This is the week of recovery. Or declare, I declare, this is my week of recovery. Or somebody said say to me, Prophet, I've lost all. No, you've not lost. You just started.

The game just started.

The thing God has for you just started. Get up. Hallelujah. Look at me.

Get up. If you don't have—

if you don't have anything else, use your mouth.

Hello?

Hello? How many of you have a job? How many of you have a job? Say I have a job.

Say I have a job.

I have a job. Now I want you to picture yourself after you—

after your work. What do you do?

So if you say, hey, thank God, I'm back home, that job was so stressful. Think about this, and that's how time goes over and over. The dreams that are inside of you, you're not addressing it. I have a son of mine, hallelujah, I used to pray for him, pray for him, pray for him. He's been trying, I told him so, he's been trying to leave the corporate, the corporate the world. He's always complaining, always complaining, complaining, complaining. I didn't know what to do to this brother, so I asked him, son, what, what do you have? He said nothing. And I began to encourage him to go learn how to trade.

Go learn how to trade.

He wakes up 6 AM, 6 AM. And just buys a couple of shares. By the next 2 hours, he sells them, and that's how he began to make money. But some of you are still waiting for heaven to fall. No, it's falling right in front of you. There are miracles happening in front of you.

Hello, hello!

Do you know, as we talk, speak, so there's some people that don't go to work, they just sit at home with their computer. 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2. Money comes in. You can be that person. You can be that person. Lift up your hand and say, Father, it's my time to recover.

It's my time to recover, to pursue my dreams, to pursue my dreams in the name of Jesus, to pursue my dreams in Jesus' name I pray. Can I have an amen? Somebody said, Prophet, how many of you like clothes?

How many of you like dressing?

How many of you buy nice stuff?

I did not hear yes. What if God has said you should go and learn how to sew? Yes, and begin to sew your own clothes and put it online. Make your own shirts.

You hear me? Yes.

And people wonder, who— I like this shirt. You give them the website and buy them, but you're the one making the shirts. How about putting— making up your mind and say, this week, if I can sew— but I can't sew. Go learn how to sew. Go learn how to— if you can't learn how to sew, they're all like— go learn how to make designs. Hello? Go learn how to make designs. God has opened the door for you. There is no more limitation. Can I have an amen? Don't sit there, waste your time. Learn something.

Hallelujah! Be smart. Ask God to open that power of recovery. Now you have to use what you have to get what you need.

Can I have an amen?

The future is waiting for you. Lift up your hand.

I prophesy over everyone this morning, you are going to recover.

Hallelujah! Everything that God has for you, you are going to take it, and you're going to be excited about it. And God said this is the week to recover, to recover. Recover by the power of the Holy Ghost. This is the week to recover by the power of the Holy Ghost. You can do anything that God has told you to do. This is the time to recover.

Look at me. God just told me that many of you here say, I don't have the money. You don't need the money, you need your mouth. I did not hear yes. Start speaking. How many of you have a good job, a great job? You have a great job. Hallelujah! How about asking God to open, start your business this week? Can I have an amen? The things that did not work for you will begin to work.

Amen!

You are sitting on multi-million dollar ideas. Can I have an amen? You are sitting with opportunities. It is your time. I challenge you this week by the power of the Holy Ghost to go do something you've not done before. Can I have an amen? Go be— just take something that you're passionate about and ask God to open it for you. Hallelujah!

Ask God to open it for you. Hallelujah!

And let me tell you something. Hallelujah! Let me tell you something. Say, but I don't know how to speak English. I don't have a degree. The world is not looking for people with degree. They're looking for people with understanding of the things that are difficult in life. And let me tell something, if you see, if you have more than 5 hours at home any day of the week, you have an opportunity to do mighty things with your life.

Are you listening to me? If you have more than 5 hours, you're amazing, because all you need to do— hallelujah!

How many people can make cupcakes here? I said, how many people can make cupcakes here?

Oh, how many people can bake?

Amen!

If you can bake, lift up your hand.

Hold on, I'm talking about bake that you bake. I'm not talking about the one that you bake, your husband says.

How many of you can bake?

Amen.

Look at this, that's a billion-dollar industry.

Amen. My friend said, my friend said, my friend He said, I can cook so much, I can do it.

I said, how do you know? Look at my wife, my husband.

You know what he saw? He was 200 pounds when I met him. Look at him, he's 500 pounds. Something is wrong with you, right? You meet people who say, I can cook. How can you cook and people not eat your food, right? I've seen people say, wow, This is a secret recipe. Don't tell us again.

Sell it to the world.

Give it to the world. Let them know your baking is the best. Don't sit at home and say— guess what? How many of you have seen—

how many of you have made coffee? No, that's not true.

If you have made coffee, lift up your hands. Prepare coffee. Coffee.

Coffee.

You know the right coffee, the good— come on, I'm not just talking about the one like you that have the old school— oh, that's too bitter. No, the people that have the science to making coffee. There's a science. Yes, that's why Starbucks cost $6 for coffee. There's a science. Am I talking to somebody? That's why Starbucks, Starbucks $6, $7. Even the drink, the drink that I buy at Starbucks, the lady I rebuked, the woman, she said to me, sir, we don't have the fruit. I said, if you don't have the fruit, are you giving it to me free? He said no. I said no, I'm not giving my money. Because I drove past here. I mean, if you understand, because I can put liquid, I can put color in my drink. When it enters my stomach, it doesn't know that it's Starbucks. He knows I like it. So I came here because of the science of the drink, right?

So, so not everybody can make coffee. Science, you know, the right, the right scoop.

I did one for her a couple of days ago.

Give it to her. I told her, I'm grateful because I was too—

He's on his own rise, you know what I mean? So that's her taste. But for me, well, what's going on here? So that's what it is, that the signs of what God has called you to do, when you master it, the world will come around you.

Lift up your hands. Father, I pray for everybody this morning. As they go, they'll become masters of recovery. Masters, hallelujah!

Masters, hallelujah!

In the precious name of Jesus, master what God has called them to do.

Master what God has called them to do by the power of the Holy Ghost. Master what God has called them to do. Teach them how to learn. Teach them how to learn, how to go forward to recover everything that God has for them. If you believe it, shout it loud and say amen. Walk up to somebody, say this is your week of recovering all. This is your week of recovering all.

Yeah, this is my week of recovering all.

It is time for giving. Woohoo!

Creek are here. Yes, we are.

You can give on Zelle, Cash App, on the church app right at the altar this morning.
