-
There's an announcement
I would like to share with you -
-
an exciting announcement
for the glory of God.
-
So please, pay attention to this.
-
By God’s grace, since the
launch of God’s Heart TV,
-
we have been very focused on
ministering Interactive Prayer.
-
What a blessing to be able to minister to people all over the world simultaneously.
-
Just like today, we have people connected from different parts of the globe right now
-
receiving this message in different languages, in different time zones.
-
We are all connected because of Christ.
-
What a blessing - Interactive Prayer!
-
And since the beginning of the ministry,
-
we have received more than 150,000 Interactive Prayer submissions -
-
people who reached out to say they want to be part of this service, people who have joined.
-
What a blessing, privilege,
grace and honour
-
to be able to minister to people all over the world through this powerful medium.
-
And I want to assure you - the Interactive Prayer Services are not going anywhere.
-
We will continue to be holding the Interactive Prayer Services
-
each and every month by the grace of God.
-
But I have always emphasised that the online services, the Interactive Prayers -
-
they are not a replacement of in-person services, the gathering of the saints,
-
which is very important as well.
-
So I'm very happy to share with you all that
-
God’s Heart TV will be holding our
very first public ministry event
-
here in the United Kingdom on Saturday March 15, 2025, in the city of Birmingham.
-
We are going to be holding our very first public ministry event here in the United Kingdom.
-
And the name God put in my heart
for this ministry event is this -
-
Let Hearts Arise!
-
You can just say that to your neighbour right now if you are with someone,
-
“Let hearts arise!”
-
That is the name of this program -
Let Hearts Arise.
-
As Christians, we should not lower ourselves to the level of this world in which we live.
-
You must rise above the noise.
-
Rise above the hatred.
-
Rise above the discouragement.
-
Rise above the gossip.
-
Rise above the realm of feelings,
the realm of senses. Rise above!
-
Let hearts arise! Colossians 3:1-2.
-
This is the name of this event
by God's grace.
-
And if God has put it in your heart to physically attend this service in Birmingham -
-
it will be taking place in the
New Bingley Hall in Birmingham,
-
on Saturday, March 15, 2025 -
-
right now, you can go to our website - www.godsheart.tv/uk
-
It’s very easy to remember!
-
Right now, there is a form you can complete just to register your intention
-
to attend the service physically - if that is what God has put in your heart.
-
We cannot wait to welcome you
by God's grace to that service
-
and have a wonderful time of fellowship and ministration together,
-
in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
-
So people of God - Let Hearts Arise!
-
This is an exciting announcement
for all of you.
-
And I want to stress
something very important.
-
This event - attendance is free of charge.
-
Remember the words of
Jesus Christ in Matthew 10:8,
-
“Freely you have received; freely give.”
-
Spiritual blessings cannot be
exchanged for material.
-
Take note of that - spiritual blessings cannot be exchanged for material.
-
The gifts of God are not for sale.
-
The grace of God is not for sale.
-
If you want further evidence of that, just look at the case of Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 8.
-
Look at Peter’s response to him
when he even connected
-
the issue of giving money
to receiving a spiritual gift.
-
Look at the rebuke Peter gave him!
-
Let me just give a very clearcut word of advice in the light of what I have just said.
-
If they ask you to pay before they pray, please run away.
-
Spiritual service is not for sale.
-
If there is a condition attached -
‘Before I pray for you, you must give this’ -
-
please run away. Disconnect.
-
That is a big red flag spiritually.
-
What is prayed for cannot be paid for.
-
The things of God, the things of
the Spirit are not transactional
-
according to the wisdom of this world.
-
‘If you give A, you are going to get B.’ No!
-
Be careful, people of God.
-
We receive messages from
people asking questions -
-
‘I’ve been asked to pay x amount before
receiving prayer. Should I go ahead?’
-
The answer is no. Run away!
-
I want you to realise this -
-
the evidence of the Holy Spirit in someone is more about their attitude to sin
-
than their demonstration of power.
-
Be careful. If someone says, ‘I will pray for you but before prayer, there is a condition’-
-
a condition attached to receiving prayer -
-
‘You have to give this money, blessing, material’ - run away; it is not of God.
-
If you want to give, let it come
from your heart freely -
-
no condition attached, no exchange.
-
‘I’m in pain but if I give this, then I will receive prayer’ - so I give out of pain.
-
The person you are giving is
receiving out of pain.
-
If you want to give, give freely.
-
If you want to bless a ministry, bless freely.
-
If you want to support a ministry,
support freely -
-
from a place of joy, from a place of peace,
-
from a place of heart conviction from the Holy Spirit, not conditional.
-
That is just a word of advice.
-
I repeat - the event, by God’s grace,
that we are holding
-
on March 15 here in the
United Kingdom - free entry.
-
Just like the Interactive Prayer
you are joining today - free!
-
If after this service, God puts it in your heart, ‘Oh, I want to bless the ministry’ -
-
glory be to God! What a blessing.
Thank You, Jesus.
-
But there is no condition attached.
-
If they ask you to pay before they pray, please run away.
-
Thank you. I wanted to emphasise
that to everyone.
-
Also, I want to give thanks to God
for His goodness, for His grace
-
because specifically on 8 January, God's Heart TV will mark its third year anniversary.
-
And what can I say but thank You, Jesus!
-
All glory, honour, praise,
adoration, worship to Him!
-
It has been a wonderful journey of faith
and we daily see the evidence
-
of God's goodness, His provision, His faithfulness, His strength in the ministry.
-
And I just want to say thank You, Jesus,
for three years of God’s Heart TV.
-
I also want to say - I will never stop emphasising this to the glory of God.
-
I want to say thank You, Jesus, for the life of my mentor, Prophet T.B. Joshua.
-
His example of bold faith, of wholehearted commitment to Jesus Christ,
-
continues to be such an inspiration.
-
And I thank God for the privilege
to have received so much -
-
lessons from his life, from his ministry
and I just give thanks to God.
-
Thank You, Jesus, for the life of His servant, Prophet T.B. Joshua.
-
I also want to thank the wonderful team
-
that God has blessed us with
here at God’s Heart TV.
-
Many of us connecting
through Zoom right now -
-
we may not know that behind the scenes,
-
there are many people doing
a lot of different assignments.
-
To organise a service of this nature is not just some something of 1 or 2 people.
-
There are many people working right now behind the scenes in jobs which
-
are not necessarily being
physically recognised,
-
but spiritually, of course,
it is being recognised.
-
I want to thank all the members of the team - those with us here in the studio,
-
those who have been supporting remotely in various assignments, in translation.
-
There is translation going on right
now in different languages -
-
in Russian, Spanish and French.
-
We have a German channel. We have God’s Heart TV Global,
-
which has multiple languages where people voluntarily have translated
-
the messages, the sermons, the prayers.
-
So I want to thank you, children of God.
Thank you for that heart for God.
-
Truly, we are one another’s strength.
-
And we thank God for the wonderful team that God has blessed us with at God’s Heart TV.
-
And of course, thank you,
people of faith, for connecting,
-
for being part of this journey.
-
Thank you for joining the services.
-
Thank you for listening to the sermons.
-
Thank you for sharing your testimonies.
-
What a blessing to hear what
the Lord is doing in people's lives.
-
I want to encourage you as you're connected right now.
-
Please, people of God, let me encourage you - don’t hide your testimony.
-
Why do I say that?
-
Because when you testify, you position yourself for even greater favour.
-
Do you know why? Because when you share a testimony to the glory of God,
-
you have no idea of knowing the impact
-
that testimony will have on others who are connected and seeking God’s face.
-
Even those of us connected
here right now, most of us,
-
I believe if we look at one of the major reasons we connected -
-
we heard someone’s testimony;
we read someone’s testimony.
-
We listened to a testimony and said, ‘If God can do that for them, He can do it for me.’
-
It strengthened your faith.
It built your faith. It encouraged you!
-
And you too made that decision of faith to reach out and connect.
-
Glory be to God. What a blessing -
when you share that testimony!
-
I know some people will say,
‘Well, I’ve got testimonies in this area
-
but I'm still waiting for a change in this one.’
-
Look, don't wait for every little thing
to line up before you testify.
-
Testify! Share your testimony.
-
Encourage people of faith.
-
Who knows? As you testify
to the one God has done,
-
you are being positioned for the next one.
-
God knows the way and manner He releases His blessings, freedom.
-
But testimony is a powerful tool
to encourage people's faith,
-
to show the world Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
-
If He can bring healing, deliverance,
freedom, restoration to someone
-
who is thousands of miles away
from the studio here...
-
I'm not laying hands on people physically - just the word of faith and people receive.
-
Does that not give glory to Jesus?
-
Does that not testify to the world
that His power has not changed?
-
The same Scriptures we read -
where Jesus just sent a Word
-
to the servant of the centurion and
at that moment, he was healed -
-
the same Jesus Christ is alive, at work.
-
This is the power of testimony.
-
That's why I talked about - let hearts arise.
-
Many of our hearts are still
weighed down by doubt.
-
‘Will it happen to me? How can that miracle happen if I’m not there physically?
-
I'm just connecting from my house. I'm just in my home. How can it happen?
-
Why is it happening for this
person but not for me?’
-
We are weighed down by doubt.
-
We are weighed down by fear.
-
No! Let your heart arise as you listen
to the truth of God’s Word,
-
as you hear people’s testimonies.
Let your heart rise.
-
The God who has done it for others
is more than able to do it for you.
-
But He is more interested in your relationship with Him.
-
People of God, we're not just
talking about physical healing.
-
We're not just talking about financial blessing or career breakthrough.
-
These are good, wonderful.
-
Peace of heart.
-
You know, I said that what is
prayed for cannot be paid for.
-
There is no amount of money
that can give you peace of heart.
-
There are many people today
who are materially prospering
-
but they are weighed down by the bondage of depression.
-
Peace of heart.
-
That's why, even during these services,
you don't hear us talking about money -
-
I don't want anything to
be a hindrance to you.
-
There are things only God can give.
-
If we say you must give money
before you receive prayer,
-
you may receive prayer without peace.
-
And me that is praying for you -
I will also not have any peace.
-
I may pray for you if you pay me,
but I will not have any peace.
-
It will not be accompanied by joy.
-
It will not be accompanied by contentment.
-
It is a lesson, people of God.
-
Please, don't because of desperation, don't because of influence of this world
-
go outside of God's standards
in your search for solution,
-
even with someone that claims to be of God.
-
Be careful. Let there be discretion.
-
The Bible is our standard.
-
Thank You, Jesus.
-
So once again thank you everyone.
-
Thank you, people of God, for
the wonderful journey of faith
-
that we are on together
here at God's Heart TV.
-
It’s been a wonderful year, 2024.
-
By God's grace, we relocated
to this wonderful studio.
-
We cannot wait to see what God
has ahead in this year, 2025.
-
We pray that our focus simply
remains on this -
-
to seek first the Kingdom of God
and His righteousness.
-
Every other thing will come in God’s time, in God’s way, in God’s glory.
-
Let us seek first the Kingdom of God,
-
keep our hearts set and centred,
fixed and focused on Christ alone.
-
Thank You, Jesus.
