FIGHT FOR YOUR POSSESSION | PASTOR RAPHAEL GRANT

Brief Summary

This YouTube video by Eagles Chapel is a sermon about the importance of fighting for your possessions and promises in the new year. It emphasises that desires and wishes are not enough; one must be ready to battle and confront the enemy to manifest God's promises. The sermon also touches on themes of spiritual warfare, obedience, and radical faith, encouraging listeners to actively engage in prayer, praise, and fasting to overcome obstacles and take possession of their blessings.

  • Promises require militant action to possess.
  • Spiritual warfare is essential for manifesting God's promises.
  • Radical faith and persistent prayer are key to overcoming obstacles.

Opening Praise and Worship

The service begins with a vibrant session of praise and worship, with the congregation singing about God's goodness and declaring their allegiance to the Lord. The songs include declarations of faith and commitment, such as "I am on the Lord's side" and affirmations of God's eternal goodness. The atmosphere is filled with energy and devotion as the worshippers lift their voices in adoration.

Introduction to the Sermon: The Need to Fight

The speaker begins the sermon by emphasising that entering the new year with good health and energy is not enough to guarantee a better year than the last. He stresses that if one does not actively take care, the new year will mirror the previous one, regardless of different desires or wishes. He asserts that for the new year to be different, individuals must be prepared to fight, war, and battle for their promises.

Possessing Promises Through Militant Force

The speaker illustrates the need for militant force by referencing President Donald Trump's approach to Venezuela's oil. He explains that merely talking about or wishing for control over the oil was insufficient. Possession only occurred when a militant force was employed. Similarly, the speaker argues that many blessings, favour, and open doors are available in the new year, but they will remain unrealised without active engagement and fighting for them.

Satanic Resistance to God's Promises

The sermon highlights that every promise of God, whether individual or collective, faces satanic resistance. The speaker shares a dream where a mini-bus and an aircraft, representing the church, are unable to move forward due to tilted tires and lack of a runway, respectively. The interpretation is that the enemy will attempt to slow down, delay, and obstruct the church's progress. Therefore, believers must be ready for satanic resistance and war for their promises, refusing to relent until they manifest.

The Land of Milk and Honey: Fighting Giants

Drawing from the story of the Israelites, the speaker reminds the congregation that God promised them a land flowing with milk and honey, but it was inhabited by giants. This illustrates that every promise of God comes with satanic giants that must be confronted and dispossessed through fighting. Without this fight, the promises cannot be experienced or enjoyed.

The Necessity of Fighting for Possession

The speaker reiterates that fighting is essential because the enemy will always challenge what is not of him. He emphasises that God gives promises but does not give possessions without resistance. What God promises legally must be possessed militantly, meaning one must fight for it. This applies to various aspects of life, including exams, business growth, and personal destinies.

Gideon's Army: Readiness to Fight

The story of Gideon's army is used to illustrate the importance of being ready to fight. The speaker points out that Gideon's army was reduced from thousands to 300 because many were not prepared for battle. Those who drank water carelessly, putting their faces in the river, were dismissed, while those who remained alert and vigilant were chosen for their readiness to confront the enemy.

Personal Testimony and the Call to Fight

The speaker shares a personal testimony about his sons in the military who sought prayer to avoid being sent to Iraq, highlighting that even those trained as soldiers may not be ready to fight. He warns that if believers are unwilling to fight, the devil will attack their health, finances, career, and destiny, ultimately reducing them to nothing. He urges the congregation to fight for their possessions.

Practical Ways to Fight and Possess

The speaker clarifies that fighting is not about anger but about engaging through prayer, praises, fasting, and obedience. He encourages listeners to start making declarations and taking possession of the year right away. He uses the analogy of wanting peace, which requires fighting to achieve.

Joshua and the Jordan River: Overcoming Obstacles

Referencing Joshua 1:2-3, the speaker explains that God's promises do not negate the need for war. He emphasises the importance of arising and going over the Jordan River, which represents the obstacles between the promise and the land. This year, there will be Jordans that believers must fight to overcome, refusing to retreat and moving forward in faith.

Radical Faith and Determination

The speaker stresses that with God, nothing is impossible, and believers must be radical and determined in their faith. He encourages them to be warriors, acting crazy and refusing to stop praying or fasting until they receive answers and see their deliverance assured. He shares his personal commitment to praying and warring in the night for the congregation's well-being.

The Difference Between Ordinary and Extraordinary

The speaker declares that the difference between the ordinary and the extraordinary lies in the fight, the battle, and the war. He urges listeners to arise and confront sickness, affliction, and any negative forces affecting their lives. He emphasises that salvation is free, but dominion requires a fight.

Opposing Opposition and Taking Possession

The sermon calls for believers to oppose their opposition, resist their resistance, disappoint disappointment, and terminate the terminator. They must confront ancestral yolks, demolish strongholds, and take possession of personal, family, and generational blessings. The speaker notes that geographical location alone does not change one's situation; it is the willingness to fight for what belongs to them.

Prophetic Vision for the Church

The speaker shares a prophetic vision of people flowing into the church like water, envisioning 10,000 attendees. He declares that the city and nation are open for the church and that its gates cannot be shut. He reiterates the need to be ready to war and fight, ensuring that the negative experiences of the past do not repeat themselves.

Deliverance and Progressive Possession

The speaker explains that while deliverance may be instant, occupying a possession is progressive, requiring continuous fighting, warring, fasting, and declaring until full possession is achieved. He shares a personal reflection on past challenges the church has faced, including floods and fire, and acknowledges the intelligence and strategic nature of the devil's attacks.

The Devil's Strategies and the Need for Vigilance

Referencing the book "I am the Christian that the devil warned you about," the speaker discusses the devil's strategies to bring down a pastor, including wealth, temptation, and discouragement. He warns against treating Satan as a fool, emphasising his intelligence and the need for believers to be vigilant and discerning.

Call to Prayer and Action

The speaker urges the congregation to rise and pray fervently, emphasising that they should not miss out on God's blessings, favour, and goodness this year. He declares that past failures and setbacks should not be repeated and that everything they have desired and believed God for must fall into place. He shares a personal promise from God to raise 100 millionaires from the church.

Intense Prayer and Spiritual Warfare

The speaker rebukes the congregation for praying half-heartedly, urging them to pray like they are alone in their closets, taking a stand and shifting their atmosphere. He emphasises the intensity and fierceness of the battle they are facing and declares that he will not allow the negative experiences of the past to repeat themselves.

Declaring God's Pleasure and Increase

Referencing Isaiah 46:10, the speaker leads the congregation in praying that God's counsel will stand and that He will do all His pleasure in their lives this year. He then leads them in declaring Psalm 115:14, praying for increase more and more to them and their children.

Prophetic Ministry and Personal Blessings

The speaker engages in prophetic ministry, calling individuals forward and sharing specific visions and promises concerning their futures. He prophesies about a woman becoming a chancellor of a university and two others achieving greatness as a surgeon and a successful entrepreneur, respectively.

Confirmation and Encouragement

The speaker receives confirmation from the individuals about the accuracy of his prophecies, further encouraging them to believe in and pursue their God-given destinies. He emphasises that nothing can stop what God has ordained for them.

Prayer for Rebuilding and Limited Time

The speaker asks the congregation to pray for the speedy rebuilding of the church, expressing his frustration over the limited time available for the service. He explains that he is still in his prophetic zone and must abruptly close the service due to time constraints.

Announcements and Benediction

The speaker announces the continuation of the 21 days of fasting, the upcoming Tuesday service with a new series entitled "The Herod in Your Family Must Die," and the observance of the Lord's table. He encourages everyone to partake in the communion, reminding them of the power in the blood of Jesus. The service concludes with tithes and offerings, a benediction by Pastor Paul, and a final blessing.

Do you know why this song is a very amazing song? One time I caught a revelation with this song. When the Bible says that

14:10 he has made us here on earth just as he is in heaven. So if we sing that he is a glorious God, he's a beautiful king, he's an excellent God, that is exactly who we are. So as you are singing to him, you know that as he is in heaven, so we are here on earth. So we bow before your throne and worship at your feet. We bow before your throne. You're the glorious God. We bow before your throne

14:58 and worship at your feet. We bow before your throne. You're the glorious God. We bow before your throne and worship at your feet. We bow before your throne. For Jehovah is your name. Jehovah is your name.

21:12 You alone. >> You are sh when I

22:05 in voice of tri round of applause Hallelujah. Amen. Amen. I am some few things few from the and then we will enter prayer and I want you to pray to a person. I will you will pray like a mad but I want to pray like you are. I want you to crazy. Hallelujah. Look at you may be seated.

22:54 That's to look at this. Turn your Bibles to verse number three. one verse number that let you begin and I read every shall you three I on you. For we thank God for it. We have entered

23:41 healthy. We have entered strong. We have entered energetic, vigorous. But if you don't take care the new year, it will be like the previous year. I want to say that again because you must understand that if you don't take care how the previous year was to you if you don't take care the new year is going to be the same. Your desires may be different from last year. Your wishes may be different from last

24:30 year, but you will end up manifesting everything that happened to you and everything that you went through last year. You will end up manifesting it because wishes are not enough. Desires are not enough. Promises are not enough. In order for the new year, this year to be different from the previous year, you must be ready to fight. You must be ready to fight. You must be ready to war. You must be ready to

25:17 battle. You see, God promises us, but for us to possess the promise, we must use a militant force. This is a fresh news, breaking news. I believe that all of you have heard it. You know for some time now almost a year or over a year our President Donald Trump have been talking about Venezuela oil. How many of you have heard that? He has been talking about it Venezuela oil. It will be good for America to be in charge of the

26:04 Venezuela oil because of their dictator and what he is doing to the indigens in the country. You see, just talking about it didn't make him possess it. Just wishing it didn't give the United States to have control over the Venezuela oil to establish democracy. In order to take control of it and have possession of it, a militant force have to be used. And yesterday it was done. They entered in

26:51 with a military strategy with bombardments and they capture the president of Venezuela and the wife, the son and some other people. Now our president came out boldly and said we are going to be controlling Venezuela. We will also control the oil until there is an established democracy and he said it boldly. He have been saying it but there was no possession.

27:37 The possession took place when he decided that I am going to fight for what I am saying. There are a lot of promises in this new year. A lot of blessing in this new year. There are so many blessings and favor and open doors and increase and expansion and enlargement and manifestations that God has released. But if you sit down and you fold your arms, believe you me, you will repeat it. You must every promise of God concerning your life, Satan will challenge it.

28:24 Every promise, whether individually or collectively, Satan will challenge it. Every promise of God will have a satanic resistance. Every promise of God concerning your life, concerning your business, concerning your career, concerning your family, concerning your marriage, concerning your finances, let me tell you, it will have a satic resistance. Generally, in the dream, there was a bus, a mini bus, and people were sitting in the mini bus waiting for me to drive them to a destination. So I walk up to the bus to drive the bus and I saw that the left side of the front tire is tilted extremely tilted to the street that it is undryable.

29:11 So the people were sitting in the bus and I told them that I am going to try to drive it. So I started moving forward and then the tie came off. The next one after that in the same room I saw myself um from a private jet. I was in the jet. There were other people in the jet. Now, where I'm supposed to take off, it wasn't a runway. In fact, it was in the midst of a subdivision. So, I was trying to find to ponder, to meditate, to contemplate, to assimilate, to have a complete and vivid understanding of the dream. And whilst I was meditating on it, the spirit of the Lord spoke to me. The spirit of the Lord said to me, he said, "Both the car and the and the and

29:59 the and the aircraft represent the church." And then he told me that this year because of what I'm about to do for the church, the enemy is going to do everything to slow you down, to cause a delay, to obstruct, to make sure that it doesn't happen at the time that it is supposed to happen. That is why the mini bus, you couldn't drive it. And then the aircraft also you couldn't take off. And then he told me, "Get ready for satanic resistance. Get ready for satanic resistance."

30:46 Every promise war for it. Take a stand for it. Don't relent. Don't quit. Don't give up until the promise has become flesh. Until what God have said has manifested, until what God has spoken has become reality, just wishing and desire, it is not enough. It is not enough. That is why this year don't take anything for granted and don't give anything to chance.

31:32 Be in charge, be in control. And if you are going to take over, you must be ready to fight. God told the children of the Israelites, I am taking you to a land that flows with milk and honey. But the land wasn't empty. It wasn't an empty land. It wasn't just a bare land. There were people that were living in the land that God has promised the children of the Israelite. And the people that were living in the land, they weren't normal human beings because the Bible says that they were giants. Every promise of God come with a satanic

32:18 giant. Every glory come with a satanic giant. Every blessing, every breakthrough, every increase, every expansion, every enlargement, it comes with satanic giants. So it wasn't an empty land that they were just going to enter and start building. People are already living there. Which means that in order for them to possess the land, they must fight the people and dispossess the people that are living there in order to possess. Otherwise, they have heard God said to them, "I have given you the land that flows with milk and honey, but they will not be able to have it, experience it, enjoy it, and possess it unless they are

33:06 ready to fight. Unless they are ready to fight. You can have beautiful promises. If you don't fight for it, it will not happen. You can have beautiful prophecies. If you don't fight for it, it will not happen. God can reveal to you and uncover to you your destiny and your future and you will see it very colorfully. But I am telling you, if you don't fight for it, the opposite and the contrary will not care. to take possession, you must fight. You must fight. And the reason why you must fight is because

33:54 whatever that is not of the devil, the enemy will fight it. I want to say that again. Maybe you don't know, so I'm repeating it. Whatever that is not of the devil, he will fight it. What is of him, he won't fight it. There will be no contention. There will be no resistance. There will be no battle. There will be no challenge. But if it is not of him and it is of God, be ready for a challenge. Be ready for warfare. Be ready for battle. Be ready for attacks. Whatever that is of God, the enemy will challenge it. That is why it is here. You must fight

34:43 in order to possess. God said to Joshua, "Wherever the soul of your feet shall tread, you shall possess." Wherever the soul of your feet shall tread, you shall possess. But when you look throughout scripture and you look throughout Joshua's ministry after he had taken over from Moses, you realize that the possession took place through battle. None of them happened without battle. Read the Bible. None. Not one. Not one.

35:30 Not one. Every land that they took, every land that the Lord promised them, they have to fight for it. Each and every one of them, they have to fight in order to possess it. In the absence of a battle, in the absence of warfare, in the absence of fight, let me tell you, there is no possession. Your possession comes as a result of your fight, your battle. You must engage the forces of darkness. You must engage the powers of darkness. You must engage the resistance. You must engage the opposition. You must confront

36:17 what is confronting your lifting. You must confront what is confronting your increase. You must confront what is confronting your manifestation. You must confront what is undermining your relationship, your marriage, your ministry. You must confront it. If you don't confront it, you will not make any headway. Fight for your possession. Look at somebody and tell the person, "Fight for your possession." If you can, I want you to write this down. God gives promises, but he does not give possessions without resistance.

37:05 God gives promises, but he does not give possessions without resistance. Now look at me. What God promises you legally, you must possess it militantly. What God promises you legally, you must possess it militantly. And militantly simply means fight. You must fight for it.

37:52 Fight for it. That board exams, if you don't fight, it doesn't matter how smart, intelligent, brilliant you are, you will fail and you will continue to fail. Until you fight for it, you won't pass it. That business if it is going to grow, it is going to be expanded, enlarged, if you are going to see the results that you desire to see, that strategy that God has put in your spirit for the growth and the expansion, you can implement it, but you won't see the results. In order

38:38 to see the results whilst implementing it, you are fighting. You are fighting. You know why Gideon's army reduced to 300 from 3,000 to 300? Because there were people who were in the army but they were not ready to fight. They were in the army. They had guns and weapons. They were armed, but they weren't ready to fight. So, they left. The one that blows my mind and very revelational is when they got to the river and the soldiers have to drink

39:25 water. Those who weren't ready for fight, for battle, and for possession, they put their nose, their eyes, their head, their mouth, their ears, everything into the water to drink the water. If the enemy is coming, how do you know you are a dead mint? Gideon said, "All of you that put your face into the water to drink, go home." And guess what? They didn't resist. In fact, this is what they said. Thank God. They all left and went home. The people

40:10 who were prepared to fight and to possess, this is how they drank the water. They were alert. They were vigilant. They were watching because they were prepared to fight to take possession. They were prepared to fight the Medidianite to dispossess them. And so they stood like this, very careful. They use their palm to scoop the water so that when the enemy is coming, they can confront the enemy. They can see the enemy and they can engage the enemy. And Gideon said, "Those are the kind of

40:57 soldiers that I wanted." And so there are people who are soldiers, but they don't want to fight. I remember two sons of mine who are in the military came to see me and the reason why they came to see me was because they want me to pray for them that they won't send them to Iraq. Yes. They are military men trained but they weren't ready to fight. They weren't ready to battle. They weren't ready to war. And over the years by

41:45 careful observation through revelation I have realized that there are so many of you you are soldiers. There are so many of you, you have your military uniform on, but you don't want to fight. You don't want to fight. That is why things are crazy around you. That is why the things that are happening to you, they are inexplicable. That is why listen it's like you are asking yourself why why why why me why all this battle why all this contention why all these attacks why all this beloved let me tell you when the

42:32 devil realizes that you don't want to fight they will come after you and let me tell you the devil will come after your health if you don't do anything about it and then he will move to your finances and then he will move to your career and then he will move to your calling and then he will move to your destiny. At the end of the day and at the end of the year you are reduced to nothing and there is nothing to your name. Beloved, this year fight. Look at somebody and tell the person fight. Fight. Whoa. Whoa.

43:18 God told the children of the Israelites, "I have given you the land." But look at the same God who said, "I have given you the land." The same God said, "Rise up and possess it. I have given you the land, but in order for you to possess the lamb, I cannot come and wake you up. You must rise and possess it." And rising means fight contained with it. And the way you fight it is not by anger. You fight through prayer. You fight through praises. You fight through fasting. And you fight through obedience. That is how you fight. That is how you

44:04 war this new year. Don't wait until the middle of the year. Right now, you must start making your declaration. You must start making your proclamation. You must start making your decrees. You must start taking possession of 2026. Start taking possession. You won't have it because you desire it. You won't have it because you wish it. You will only have it when you fight for it. It is like somebody saying, "I want peace."

44:51 If you want peace, you must be ready to fight. Because it is your fight that will produce peace. Somebody will say, "I want rest." But you must understand that you cannot have rest until you fight. You engage in battle. When you win the battle and you put your enemies in their rightful places, that is when you will have rest and peace. But just wishing it and just saying it will not make it happen. Will not make it happen. It will not make it happen. Somebody look at the other person on your left,

45:37 on your right, and tell them fight. I want you to turn your Bibles quickly to Joshua chapter 1 the verse number 2 and 3. Joshua 1 the verse number two and three. If you are there, you say amen. If you're on your way, say God have mercy. Joshua chapter 1 the verse number two and three. Please, if you can project it for me, I would really really appreciate it. Joshua chapter 1 the verse number two and three. Now look at me before I read it. When they project now listen to me very very carefully.

46:23 The promises of God doesn't cancel war. I want to say it again. The promises of God never cancels war. The promises of God never cancel battle. Listen, if God says that you are great and you sit down, I am great. I am great. I am great. I am great. I am great. And expecting to be great, you will be a nobody. When God says that you are great, what you do is that you take the promise of God that says that you are great and you

47:11 take it into battle, into prayer. You engage it in spiritual warfare until you become great. So the promises of God and prophecies doesn't cancel war and battles and fighting. Let me read the scripture. He said, "Moses, my servant is dead now. Therefore arise." The emphasis is on arise. My servant Moses is dead. Joshua, stop sleeping. Joshua, wake up.

47:56 Because this leadership, this baton that Moses is about to hand over to you, it is not going to come on the silver platter. The enemy will fight you. The powers of darkness will fight you. The herolds in your family, uh, you don't want to miss Tuesday. Tuesday I will start a series entitled the Herod of my family must die. You need to hear this message. Every family has an herald and what the Herod is to sit on the destinies and the progress and the blessings of the people in the family and our target is to locate the Herod in

48:42 your family and we will assassinate him. >> Amen. I will leave that for Tuesday. Moses, my servant, is there now. Therefore, arise, go over this Jordan. Therefore, arise, go over. Now, everybody look at me. How do you go over? God said, Joshua, rise up. Go over the Jordan. go over the Jordan. Have that in mind. We'll talk about it shortly. You and all these people to the land which I am going which I am giving to them, the

49:29 children of Israel. So watch this. God said, "There is a land. I'm giving it to you. But in order for you to possess the land, you must arise and go over Jordan." which means that Jordan is between the promise and the land. In order for you to come into the land for a possession, you must go over Jordan. And how do you go over Jordan without a fight? How do you go over Jordan without a battle? I want you to hear me. This year there will be a Jordan that will be

50:16 between you and your manifestation. There will be a Jordan that will be between you and your elevation. There will be a Jordan that will be between you and your business. There will be a Jordan that will be between you and your career. There will be a Jordan that will be between you and your marriage and your relationship. But you must rise up and fight your Jordan. You must rise up. Joshua refused to stand aloof. Joshua confronted the Jordan with all the children of the Israelites to the state. It was so intense and fierce to the state that God said to Joshua, "Tell the priest, let them dip

51:02 their feet in the banks of the river. Tell them to move forward. Move forward." You see when you are fighting you don't go backward because backwardness simply means retreat. Backwardness simply means you are running away from the battle. That is why when you look at the armor of God we don't have anything that covers the back. Everything covers the front. And the reason for it is because we are more offensive than defensive. We are more confrontational than retreating. That is why the Bible didn't use we fight against flesh and blood. But he

51:47 use we wrestle against flesh and blood because wrestling got to do with direct contact face to face. Eyeball to eyeball, shoulder to shoulder. God said, "Dep your feet into the Jordan. Dip it. Don't retreat. Go forward." He said, "Move forward." And when they put their feet in the banks of the river, the Jordan River parted into two. They walk on the dry land. Cross over into the land God said he has given to them. If you will fight, your Jordan will part into two. Amen.

52:33 >> If you war, your jaw will part into two. Let me tell you, there is nothing imposs impossible in your life. What becomes impossible in your life? It is because you have made it impossible. The Bible says with God nothing shall be impossible. You cannot partner with God and have impossibility in your life. You cannot partner with God without that door opening. You cannot partner with God without seeing the goodness and the glory and the favor of God. It is impossible this year. There are some of you you must make determination that that

53:20 generational curses that manifested in your life every year this year is not going to happen. It's not going to happen. It's not. Listen, I need to talk to you. Listen, some of you, the problem you have is that you are too diplomatic. You you are too you are too diplomatic to a fort. You are too gentle to a fault. Listen, in this dispensation and in this generation, if we are going to manifest the glory of God, if we are going to become an embodime embodiment and an epito of the goodness and of the favor of God, we must be radical.

54:07 We must be radical. All of us, we must be warriors. We must act crazy. God is not looking for gentlemen. God is not looking for ladies. God is not looking for diplomatic people. God is looking for crazy people. Radical people, radical. You You have to be radical. You have to be radical. You have to be radical. You have to be radical. Don't stop praying until you have received the answer. Don't stop fasting until you have received the answer. Don't stop praying until your deliverance is assured. Don't stop praying until your miracle come through. Don't stop praying

54:53 until God have removed the veil. Don't stop praying until everything he has said and spoken concerning you have come to pass. Fight for it. Fight for it. There are times that my body is tired. I am. Even when I was coming to church today, my wife will tell you I I was so tired because I have to pray in the night. I have to take a stand in the night. I have to war in the night. I have to battle in the night. You think that some of you that you are sitting down because you decided today I want to come to prayer city. No. Something move you. Something move you. Whilst you were asleep, I was working on all of you.

55:40 Something moved you. Something brought you here. And what brought you here is no chance. What brought you here? It is not because it is the first Sunday of the year I have to be in church. It was because I stayed in prayer. I engage the reaper angels and I engage the Holy Ghost to bring all of you here supernaturally. There are some of you, you don't even know why you are here. You just find yourself here. Worry. You must war. By the time I finish, I was so tired, exhausted. I said, "Let me catch some sleep a little bit before coming to church."

56:27 It was my wife who came and wake me up at 8:30. Have to quickly jump, run into the shower, quickly take a shower, dress up and run and come here. Let me tell you something. If you are not ready to fight, forget about the promises of God for forget. Forget it. You cannot be extraordinary if you are not ready to fight. The difference between the ordinary and the extraordinary is the fight is the battle. It is the war. Engaging.

57:13 God said Joshua arise. Arise. Arise. 2026. Arise. Arise. What didn't work the previous year, it must work. It It must work. It must work. It must work. It must work. That sickness that ravaged your body, that sickness that took away your finances, you must hold yourself, you must speak to that sickness because you must understand that every sickness and every affliction is a spirit. Spirit have ears. They can hear. You must address them. That

57:59 fibroid die. your fibroid, you cannot be in my body. My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and you cannot cohabit with the Holy Spirit. I evict you. I eject you. Where you are coming from, go back there and never return again. Worrying. Worrying. Look at somebody and tell the person war. Oh, look at the other person and tell the person war. >> You must war. >> You know salvation is free. Somebody say

58:44 salvation is free. >> Salvation is free. >> Say it again. Salvation is free. >> Salvation is free. >> Salvation is free. But dominion you fight for it. Salvation is free. But if you want to walk in dominion and have dominion, you must fight for it. The promises of God, they are free. But manifestation is not free. You must fight for it. Until you fight for it, you will have the promise, but you won't see the manifestation. It will be a dream. It

59:30 will be a vision. But it will not be a reality, actuality. It will not become flesh. You will not be able to feel it, hold it, touch it, and you will not be able to have it in your hands. You must fight. You must fight. Oppose your opposition. Resist your resistance. Disappoint disappointment. Terminate the terminator. Confront what confronts you. Address the ancestral yolks. Demolish the strongholds, the personal strongholds, the family strongholds, the generational stronghold. Take possession of the

1:00:17 personal blessings, the family blessing and the generational blessings. Let me tell you in every city in every state there is equal blessing but for you to enjoy the blessing you must fight for it. That is why some of you move from California to Michigan your situation never change. You move from Michigan to Minnesota, your situation remain the same. You move from Minnesota, you came to Atlanta, your situation remain still the same. The reason and

1:01:03 the purpose it is not the geographical location, it is not the atmosphere. You are not prepared to fight for what belongs to you. Georgia is mine. I own it. This state cry. I am the governor. This state I am the mayor. Listen to me. This year and in the coming year, let me tell you, people will flow into services like water. >> Amen. >> Water. Amen. >> Water. This morning whilst I was in prayer, I saw people coming and I was asking the protocol people, how many

1:01:48 people do we have in church? And they told me 10,000 people. This morning when I was praying, >> Hallelujah. >> And when I saw that, I said 10,000 shall it be. >> Amen. >> There can never be anything less than that. >> This city is mine. God has given it to me. I I fight for it every day. There is no single day that I don't fight for this city. And I fight for it multiple times in a day. I said Georgia, you will listen to me. I said the gates of Georgia, you are open for prayer city eagle chapel. This nation is open for prayer city eagle chapel. The gates of this city and the gates of this nation

1:02:35 cannot be shut at prayer city. Be open a be open a open a you must be ready to war. You must be ready to fight. You must be ready to take a stand. You must be ready and to say that what happened to me last year is not going to happen to me this year. Somebody say fight. Oh, say it like you mean it. Fight, >> fight, >> fight. You know, deliverance may be instant. Deliverance may be instant,

1:03:26 but to occupy possession is progressive. Deliverance may be instant but to occupy a possession it may be progressive. It means that you cannot occupy at once. You occupy gradually which means that you must keep on fighting. You must keep on waring. You must keep on battling. You must keep on fast fasting. You must keep on declaring. You must keep on walking in obedience until you have taken full possession of the possession.

1:04:12 Fight for your possession. Fight for your possession. Let me tell you something. This morning when I finished praying, it just dawned on me and I said to myself, this will not happen again. So watch this. What have happened to us over the years as a church? The first one was 2009 water. There was a flood in Georgia. We lost everything. And then we bought our property. The first month there was a flood in the auditorium.

1:04:59 We have to rebuild the auditorium. And then there was another flood as a result of freezing temperatures. This current one that all of you knew. Then we dealt with the flood, but we forgot about fire. And the devil said, "Okay, they have dealt with the flood. I can no longer come in as a flood but I am coming in what they neglected. I am coming in as fire. Listen the devil that we are dealing with is not a fool.

1:05:46 The the guy is not a fool. The guy have been around for a long time. He has been on the earth before humanity. If you don't know before humanity, he has been around. Don't also forget that when he was dispossessed and displaced from his original estate and position, God never took anything away from him. The only thing he lost was his position because the giftings of God are without repentance. So the guy is smart, the guy is intelligent and the guy doesn't waste his time and he doesn't fight anyhow and he doesn't attack anyhow. He attacks with

1:06:32 intelligence. He attacks with strategy that he thinks that it is going to work. There was a book that I read many years ago. In fact many years ago I recommended it to the church for everybody to read it. I am the Christian that the devil warned you about. That's the title of the book. I am the Christian that the devil warned you about. In that book, the author was caught up in the realms of the spirit and was brought to the satanic world and the meeting place of Satan. And he was right there, but they couldn't see him. And they were having

1:07:19 Satan was having a meeting with his principalities as a result of one pastor who is causing havoc to his kingdom who is co causing havoc to his people and he was looking for strategies to bring down the preacher. So he called these principalities and asked them what can we do to bring this man of God down and then one said let's make him rich so that it will get into his head and become proud and arrogant and cocky. Satan said looking at this man and watching him very carefully if we make

1:08:06 this man rich all the souls in our kingdom will be won because he will use the money for outreach and evangelism and so I don't like that strategy. Then the other one said that let's send some of our ladies to the church what pastors go through. Some of you you are here you are on assignment. You are the devil himself on assignment against the pastor. Said let's send some of our ladies to the church to flop the pastor. Satan refused. Satan said if we send any

1:08:53 of our ladies to the church they won't come back again. All of them will be converted. All of them will be converted. We are going to be losing more people from our kingdom and so more people from our kingdom. And then the other person said, "Let us put the spirit of discouragement upon him." And Satan said, "Yes, that will work." The spirit of discouragement. The guy is smart. Satan is not a fool. Don't treat him as a fool. Some of you, you have been erroneously

1:09:39 been taught that Satan is a fool. He is not. I have said this time without number. Look at all your degrees. You have PhDs, multiples. You have so many masters. But look at the dumb things Satan make you do. As smart and as intelligent as you are, look at the dumb things that Satan makes you do. Listen, I don't I don't have the time. I don't have the time. my I we need to pray and I need to do some other things. I want you to rise on your feet. I will continue next week.

1:10:27 We are coming to pray. Please, I don't want you to stand attention. I don't want you to stand. Listen, some things must happen >> this year. You shouldn't miss out on the blessings of God this year. You shouldn't miss out on the favor of God. You shouldn't miss out on the goodness of God this year. Everything you have desired and believe God for it must fall in place. Everything must come together. The battles you fought in the previous year, you shouldn't be fighting the same battle this year. It shouldn't happen. The failures you experienced the previous year, you shouldn't experience it this year. the setback, the inhibitions, the limitation, the restriction, the confinement, the curses

1:11:13 you walk in, you shouldn't be walking it walking in in those same curses and setback and failures this year. It shouldn't happen. It shouldn't happen. One of the things the Lord spoke to me about concerning this year, he says, "Sir, because I was talking to God about finances and I was talking to God about how we need money to rebuild and everything and the Lord told me, he said, "Son, don't worry. I have released that money. >> What you need, I have released it. You will build it." And then he told me this. He said, "Son, I will raise 100

1:12:01 millionaires from the church." >> That is what he told me. He said, "I will raise 100 millionaires from the church so that you will not come to me ever again and talking to me about money." >> He said, "I will raise 100 people." Now, the Lord has spoken to me. I have heard it. He has said it. But if it is not taken up in prayer and prayed it into manifestation, I won't have it. You won't become waring and battling. This year I will push you to the limit.

1:12:46 Every Sunday, every Tuesday, Sundays and Tuesday, I will push you to the I will provoke you. provoke you spiritually. I will stir up something in you that will not make you stand aloof, that will not make you fold your arms, that will not make you put your hands in between your lap. That every day you will be vigilant, you will be watchful, you will stand at your watch and hear God and see the glory of God being made manifest in your life. >> Are you ready to pray? Yes. >> Listen, you don't need to stand where you are standing. There is so much space. Look for space. What do you need this year? What are you believing God for for this year? What do

1:13:33 you want to see in your life this year? What are the things that you experienced the previous year that caused you so much pain, that caused you so much havoc, that give gave you restlessness, that gave you sleepless night, that made you wanted to quit, wanted to give up, that discourage and dishearten you, you must declare that this year that thing is far away from you. I want you to clap your hands and begin to pray. Open your mouth, clap your hands and begin to pray. Pray like a mad man. Pray like a mad woman.

1:14:40 Listen to me. Listen to me. You are jokers. You are jokers. I'm your pastor and so I have to tell you the truth. Listen, you are joking. You are praying like you are sleeping. Are you these things don't move God? Don't move the devil. Take a stand. Shift your atmosphere. Shift your cloud. Something must happen this year for you that men and women that knows that you serve God will say of a truth, "Your God is God.

1:15:31 Don't joke. This is no joke. Pray like you are by yourself in your closet. When I'm praying, it's not a joke. I don't joke around. I will be pacing back and forth. Where I need to scream, I scream. Where I need to shout, I will shout. Hey. Hey. Hey listen, this battle is intense. This battle is fierce. What you are up against, let me tell you, it is not small. It is not t is huge. The prayers you are praying is like you

1:16:17 are joking. You want the same thing that happened last year to happen to you. Now listen to me. This one, what I'm about to say, look at me. I want to tell you me I'm not going to allow that to happen. I won't allow that to happen. What happened to you last? It can't happen to you. This I will not allow that to happen. Do you know the reason why I will not allow? Because if I allow that to happen, it will be my baby. I will be the one you are calling. I will be the one having the prayer point. I will be the one fasting. I will be the one. I'm not going to allow that to happen. As far as you are under my tiltage and my covering, it cannot happen. I am going to make you pray. I am going to make you fight. I am going to make you take a

1:17:02 stand. I am going to make you be aggressive. I am going to make you possess the promises of God. I'm not going to let you just stand there and fold your hands and bring me prayer topics. No, I'm not going to allow that. And if you have made a decision to fail, I came to tell you it is too late. You cannot fail. You can only succeed. >> You can't fail. You can't fail this year. You will prosper this year. You will make it big this year. Everything God said last year that never materialize, each and every one of them will come to pass in your life unfailingly. So when I say pray, I need you to pray. Clap your hands. Begin to pray.

1:18:01 Give your la. Heat. Heat.

1:19:06 Yeah. Heat. Yeah. Heat.

1:20:33 Heat up here. in the name of Jesus. No. >> Turn your Bibles quickly to Isaiah 46,

1:21:18 the verse number 10. Isaiah 46, the verse number 10. Isaiah 46, the verse number 10. Please project it for me quickly. Quickly, quickly, quickly. Isaiah 46, the verse number 10. Isaiah 46, the verse number 10. Isaiah 46, the verse number 10. Declaring the end from the beginning >> and from ancient times. things that are not yet done, saying, "My counsel shall stand and I will do all my pleasure." Amen. >> My counsel shall stand and I will do all my pleasure. Amen. >> The next prayer point is this. God, this new year, do all your pleasure.

1:22:07 >> This year, let your counsel stand. >> All your pleasure, let it manifest in my life. Drop your hands. Heat. A

1:23:03 Heat. Yeah. Heat.

1:23:49 Yeah. Heat. Yeah. Heat.

1:25:09 In the name of Jesus, I want you to turn your Bibles quickly to Psalm 114. Psalm 115, the verse number 14. Psalm 115 the verse number 14. Psalm 115 the verse number 14. Psalm 100. Please come to me. Please come to me. Oh, don't worry. Come and stand in front of me. You can. Okay. Since you are ready, I want you to stand here for me. You see, whilst we were praying, can you please lift up your hands if you don't mind? Whilst we were praying, I saw that you were in an office

1:25:58 and it was a huge office very comfortably. But all of a sudden I saw an angel entered into that office and took you from that office to another office. But this office was twice the size of the previous office that you were in. But in this office, it is like a boardroom because I see you sitting at the head of the table and I see other people five here, five there and I see that they were talking to you. But what I heard prophetically in the spirit that they were talking to you, it looked like the

1:26:44 previous office, it was your office, it was a school office, it was a university office. The second one, which is twice the size of the previous one, it is also your office and it is also a university office. But the reason why it is twice the size of the previous one is because prophetically and in the realms of the spirit whilst we were praying I saw a university a university college huge beautiful but I see that 10 people came together and they said that the only person that we can appoint the only person that we can select the only

1:27:31 person that we can nominate that can be the chancellor of this university for this university to grow and the vision of this university to materialize. It is you and the spirit of the Lord spoke to me and the spirit of the Lord said this particular year God is about to give you elevation. And the elevation that God is about to give you, he will move you from just being a lecturer to being a chancellor for a university college. >> Amen. >> Amen. a university college. A university college be and and and and and that university will become one of the biggest one of the best that everybody

1:28:18 want to go there because of your leadership because God has anointed you for this. God has chosen you for this. He has chosen you for and this is the year that he has consecrated. This is the year that he has ordained to do this for you. Do you understand what I'm talking about? How do you understand what I'm talking about? >> I understand what you are saying because I'm a professor in the university. >> University of Cape Coast. >> University of Cape Co. You are a professor over there. I see you being a chancellor over a university. This year you are you are you are no longer just be a professor and be a lecturer. I see you be a chancellor, a chancellor over a university and that university people will be parents will be rushing their

1:29:06 they their children to be in that particular universe because of your governance because of your leadership. It is going to be one of the best of the best private universities in the in Ghana. Father, let it be so. Receive it in the name of Jesus. God bless you. It is a done deal. You can go back. Let let's read the scripture quickly. Psalm 115 the verse number 14. No. Uh Minister Derek stand here for me. Where is Minister Een? Stand here for me. Yes. Pray here. Stand there for me. So that when I call somebody to minister to you. Psalm 115 the verse number 14 said, "May the Lord give you increase and watch this more and more."

1:29:54 >> I want to read it again. Amen. >> May the Lord what? Give you >> increase >> more and more you and your children. >> Amen. >> May the Lord give you increase, not just more more >> and more. In fact, other translation repeated the more thrice more and more and more to you and your children. >> Amen. You see this is the promise of God. This is what God is saying to you and I concerning 2026 that there will be no stagnation. There will be no scarcity. There will be no shortage. That will have increase. We will have

1:30:40 abundance more and more. It will not just affect us but it will affect our children and our children children. I want us to lift up our voice and pray and declare that this year God bless me more and more, favor me more and more. Open your mouth and begin to pray in the name of Jesus. Heat. Heat.

1:31:33 Yeah. Heat. Heat up here.

1:32:33 Heat. Heat. Oh, heat heat. Yeah. Heat.

1:33:26 In the name of Jesus, >> I want both of you to face me. Both of you face me. You, you are going to be very great. Very, very great. Very great. Because when we started praying, all of a sudden I saw you and I saw a stethoscope around you. And the spirit of the Lord spoke to me and the spirit of the Lord said to me that by destiny, by destiny and by profession, your life, like when when they were giving birth to you, what God said that you will be is a surgeon. A surgeon. I said that is your destiny. A surgeon.

1:34:11 You are a medical doctor but but but you you will specialize in surgery. In surgery, that is your future. That is your destiny. And the spirit of the Lord said, I should tell you that unfailingly what he has said and what he has spoken concerning you unfailingly will come to pass. Amen. >> You will be amazed. prophetically and in the realms of the spirit. If somebody is here that the Lord have opened his eyes, the person will see a stethoscope around you and you walk with it all day. Every time you are walking, every time whether it is day or night, there is a stethoscope around your neck to

1:34:58 symbolize your destiny and your future and what God has made you. So by destiny you are a surgeon. >> Amen. >> A surgeon. >> Amen. >> I see in the reigns of the spirit I see whilst I was ministering to him to her I saw that it was like all of us have gathered and we were celebrating you and it was in the month of June. In the month of June we were celebrating you. But the celebration has to do with you graduating. graduating. You were graduating and we were all there and we were celebrating you. Just after I saw that, all of a sudden, I just saw

1:35:45 magazines falling in front of me, business magazines. And to my astonishment, I saw that they've put on the magazine the hundred young entrepreneurs. I saw your name on the number 12. The number 12. The number 12. The number 12. Emmanuel texting. And there is a profile on you. The spirit of the Lord is speaking to me and the spirit of the Lord is telling me that you will have your graduation in June. After that graduation, everything that God have said and spoken concerning you as it relates to business, business, listen,

1:36:33 this nation will hear of you. >> Amen. >> They will the n this nation will hear of you. Your name will be on the lips of people globally. God is going to expand you, enlarge you. God is going to give you unimaginable, unthinkable influence in the business world. I want you to get ready. This is the year where everything you have ever dreamed of, everything that you have ever desire, everything that you have ever believed God for, in fact, I see you in a car, the car that I see you in is is Rolls-Royce. I see you in a Rolls-Royce. >> In a Rolls-Royce, >> in a Rolls-Royce, it's a white Rolls-Royce. I see you in a ro and I see

1:37:18 people serving you, following you everywhere you go. I see security tight. Listen to me. This is the year. >> Amen. >> This is the year of your sudden lifting. It is the year of your sudden elevation. It is the year of your sudden exaltation. Father, I pray in the name of Jesus, let that which you have said, let that which you have spoken concerning both of them, let it materialize, let it come to pass speedily, quickly, and unfailingly in the name of Jesus. >> Amen. >> What I just told you, have you heard it before? Have somebody >> Yes, >> you have heard it before. My dad's friend said that they were praying in the park and then he told them I was going to be a doctor when I grow up.

1:38:05 >> Your dad's friend told you this when they were praying in the park and he told you that you are going to be a doctor when you grow up. >> Confirm that. So this was back in the year 2000. I have a friend back in college, University of Cape Coast. We used to pray together. So for the first time, I took him to our city. He wanted to go to our city. So whilst we're in the food praying in the middle of the night, he said, "Listen, your first baby is going to be a girl." So that's how her name actually came about. The name that she had, it came from that prophetic lines. And then several years later, after I migrated to the US, she called and said, "One of your girl, I was not sure which one it was until you confirmed it last year." And another confirmation came that one of your girls is going to be a doctor. I wasn't sure whether it was this one or the youngest

1:38:52 one. And then last year when he confirmed it, that's when we realized she was the one because the funny thing is that when she was little, she has that um thing at home always around as young as she was growing up. So we were not sure which one it until it was confirmed. So what you are saying is actually a confirmation of what was long said in the year 2000 way before I was even married and she was born. >> I was still probably a freshman year in college back in University of Cape back then. Wow. >> Yeah. >> That nothing can stop it. Nothing. That is who you are. Nothing. Anytime you are walking, it's around your neck. Anytime you are walking, whether you are walking, you are sitting, you are sleeping, spirit is around your neck. It

1:39:38 is around because that is who you are and that is what God have made you. I can't wait to see it. Blessings. Give the Lord a clap offering. Listen, I want you to pray. My time is I want you to pray a prayer for me. We are all praying that God will do our rebuilding speedily. >> You know, as I'm ministering, I am under intense pressure. You see, they are showing me time. They have been showing me time. In fact, I've gone way beyond. I'm supposed to close at 12 sharp. 12 sharp because we have a limited time here to get out of here. So you know uh when we were going

1:40:25 home uh after the crossover I was telling um Minister Aen I said my goodness I have not yet left the zone. I was still in my prophetic zone. Nothing happened. I carried it home. I said I'm still in the zone. I've still not left there because I know when I'm done and I I live there, but I was still in there because there is no time. Guess what? Right now, I am heavily I'm just warming up in the zone. I have to close. I have I have to cut it abruptly and close because we have to leave here at 12. I

1:41:10 have gone beyond the time because they have to pack all these things and the time is limited. I want you to lift up your hands one minute. God the rebuilding. This is the prayer point. Do it speedily. Open your mouth and pray. Father Shakar. Jesus

1:42:05 name Jesus. Amen. >> Give the Lord a clap offering, please. It's not my fault because of the limited time we have here. It I won't lie to you. This thing is painful. It's painful because I spend a lot of time when I'm coming to service to pray into the service for each and everyone to be blessed. So when you come to service like that and you have to cut everything off abruptly because of time it's painful it's really really painful but that is where we are that is where

1:42:50 we are so I will continue on Tuesday I told you that Tuesday is no longer the typical Bible studies that we have where I teach you no uh the Tuesday service I actually call No one will say where is your God. It's it's is it's a deliverance service. And so what I do on Tuesday is that I teach deliverance messages like the one I just taught right now. And then we pray, we make declaration and then I minister prophetically. When we started the Tuesday service, those of you that were here, how many of you were here when I minister on the Tuesday? They will tell you it was intense. It was powerful. Unfortunately, we couldn't stream that day and so you couldn't watch. It was intense. It is going to be the same

1:43:37 throughout the year. And so, Tuesday, I don't want you to miss the service for anything. It starts 700 p.m. sharp. Don't forget this place is not ours. We are limited by time. So, if you can be here on time, it will be wonderful. It will be great. From 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., don't miss it for anything. And like I told you, I am going to start a series entitled the Herod in your family must die. And I'm going to teach you who is the Herod in your family and why the Herod in your family must die this year. Hallelujah. Give the Lord a clap offering. And please, you may be seated in the heavenly places. Hallelujah. Today we are coming to the Lord's table.

1:44:24 Jesus said, "Do this in remembrance of me." Anytime we partake of the communion, it reminds us of the death, crucifixion, and the resurrection of Jesus. It reminds us that the grave couldn't hold him. Death couldn't hold him. He triumphed over death. He triumphed over the cross. And he is alive. Today is the first Sunday of the year. Today is our first communion of the new year. You don't run away from God. You run to him. Hallelujah. So I

1:45:09 don't want anybody to say, "Oh, I'm not holy enough to take communion." If you are unholy, the communion will make you holy. That is why you have to take it. There is power in the blood. Somebody say there is power in the blood. >> So I expect all of you to take the communion. I want you to bow your head. I want you to pray over pray and tell God that God wherever I have fallen short whatever sin I've committed please God forgive me wash me cleanse me purge me with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. The Bible says when we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us of all our sins and to cleanse us from all

1:45:56 unrighteousness. Father, I thank you for washing us, cleansing us, purging us with the precious blood of Jesus. Amen. Well, it is time for tithe and offering. It's time for tithe and offering. And it's also time for first fruit. First fruit. First fruit. I will talk a little bit about it uh this Tuesday and then next week Sunday because my time is already up. But the Bible makes us to understand that anytime we enter into a new year, our first income belongs to God. That is what we call the first fruit. Your first

1:46:41 income, your first paycheck, it belongs to God. And God said, "If you give me your first fruit, I will let my blessings rest upon you and rest upon your family." Hallelujah. If you have your tithe, you can come forward. You have your first fruit, you can come forward. If you need an envelope, lift up your hands. Protocol will locate you and give you an envelope. Please, you can give through any of the mediums that you see on your screen. any of the mediums that you see on your screen. Those of you that at home, the mediums you see on your screen, you can give through any of the medium. And the one that is behind me, you can give through any of the medium. Whichever one appeals to you, whichever one you are comfortable with. If you have your

1:47:28 tithe, whether you have given digitally, electronically or not, I still want you to come forward. I want to pray for you. Heavenly Father, I pray in the name of Jesus as your people give oh God their tithe. I ask oh God that let there be an open heavens. Bless them beyond measure.
