I watch football, and there is something I have come to realize. When players lose – time after time – the only reason they keep playing is because they feel the next match is theirs.
The courage a football team that has lost a game holds is in the next match. The coach will not say anything more besides, ‘don’t worry, there is another match.’ When they lose a season, their coach will say, ‘don’t worry, there is another season.’
I pray that God will use me today to tell somebody, ‘there is another season where you will gain everything you lost.’
What keeps musicians going is the belief that if one song doesn’t do well, they will write another.
I remember there’s a time I wrote a song titled, ‘Tembeya Njiri.’ I was in love with this song. It was good. I released it with all vigor. I was like, ‘this song is a hit.’ To my surprise, media stations played it for three weeks, and dumped it. Then I said, ‘Lord, I need another song.’ Then I released ‘Wanaza’. It spread everywhere.
A season is coming when God will give you back everything you lost.
In 2 Samuel 5:20, David said, “As waters break out, the LORD has broken out against my enemies before me.”
The word breakthrough means ‘there is a place I wanted to go, but there was a war hindering me.’ It means that God brought the bulldozer, and tore down the wall for you.
There is a time when the Worship House had 15 members. I don’t know when, but God helped us breakthrough. There was a time when I was a pastor in this city, nobody knew me, but God helped me breakthrough.
Let me teach you something, the devil can smell your breakthrough coming. And notably, for most people, that is the time they quit church. That’s the time they give up. When you are about to breakthrough, sometimes you will not have any visible signs.
If the conditions around you insinuate that God doesn’t care, that’s a good time. Do you know why? It’s because God loves to surprise your enemy.
Luke 4:18 says, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.”
I see a red sea that was hindering you from going to the other side. The Lord is separating your waters. Sometimes there is a wall Jericho that is saying; you will not be healed. That disease will not kill you. God is bringing down that wall of Jericho.
In Genesis 1:3, God said, “Let light shine out of darkness.” I am fully persuaded that somebody is about to see light in every area of their life. I command light where there is no light. I command darkness to leave.
There’s always a first day with no pain in your body. There’s always a first day with no bad news in your family. There is always a first day when you give your life to Jesus Christ. There is always a first day at church. There is always a first day at work. I will never forget the day I woke up, this time, with no landlord.
In Genesis 1:9, God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” God can give you a place where you can stand on firm ground.
Exodus 14:14 says, “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
