you could take a moment to just say hi
to the neighbor next to you that they
look good you like what they have on
even if you may not
family we’re gonna be reading from the
book of Judges is gonna be judges 13
verse one to five and the scripture says
again the children of Israel did evil in
the sight of the Lord and the Lord
delivered them into the hand of the
Philistines for forty years now there
was a certain man from zora of the
family of the Danites whose name was
Manoah and his wife was barren and had
no children and the angel of the Lord
appeared to the woman and said to her
indeed now you are barren and have borne
no children but you shall conceive and
bear a son
now therefore please be careful not to
drink wine or similar drink and not to
eat anything unclean for behold you
shall conceive and bear a son and no
razor shall come upon his head for the
child shall be a Nazarite to God from
the world and he shall begin to deliver
Israel out of the hand of the
Philistines family you may be seated
if you’re taking notes my message for
today is what is leading you what is
leading you you see when we read read
the scripture it’s interesting how it
starts it says again the children of
Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord
again now there is a very interesting
history with how God would use the
Philistines to humble the Israelites the
Israelites they represent God’s people
the Philistines represents the enemies
to God’s people but God would often use
them because the Israelites often fell
into this trap where they would begin to
worship gods that offered no substance
and that was what it meant when it said
they did evil in the sight of the Lord
again now family this always you know
perplexed me because I’m like how is it
that the Israelites after everything
they have seen and known about the Lord
they will keep finding themselves in
this trap
of seeking to worship gods that offer
them nothing you see they have heard
about how Moses led the people out of
Egypt by the hand of God they had heard
about stories about how Joshua commanded
the Sun to stand still and it stood
still they had experienced for
themselves the power of God but yet they
fall into this trap again of worshipping
gods that have no substance you see it’s
funny one of the gods that they were
often worshiped it was a god named bow
and if you ever need a good laugh in the
middle of the night there’s a story that
will crack you up it’s a story of the
prophet Elijah when God wanted to make a
mockery of this the lower god named bow
because I mean it’s just there was
there’s no substance to him so God tells
the prophet Elijah to gather the
prophets of bow and meet him at a
mountain it was like about 350 of them
they go to the mountain and Elijah says
something he says you know what let’s
offer sacrifice to our God and the God
that answers by fire let him be God and
so they put their sacrifices on there
you know in offer to the Lord so Elijah
puts his sacrifice to offer to the Lord
they put their sacrifice to offer to bow
Elijah is I mean the mockery he pours
water on his sacrifice he’s like you
know what I am so convinced about my God
that even if the sacrifice is wet
firewood it’s like we didn’t even want
it to be like all this happened you know
as an accident the weather was too dry
and it just called fire he said you know
what we’re gonna make it a little wet
and Elijah is like okay guys you know
call upon your God and they’re doing all
kinds of things nothing happens and he
starts to mock them he’s like you know
did your God go on a vacation maybe he’s
in the Bahamas sipping on some pina
colada
forgot about y’all nothing happened
and then when he lied your calls upon
the name of his Lord fire comes from
heaven
and so the gods that the Israelites
would often fall into the trap of
worshiping I mean they could offer them
nothing and in reality they were seeking
them to give them what they already had
and so this really bothered me I said
God how is that how is that possible and
then the Holy Spirit began to teach me
something about this scripture you see
family when something becomes so common
to you we tend to lose sight of its true
origin the Israelites had experienced
the hand of God in so many ways that it
became their norm that they began to
lose sight of the source of their
strength that it was so natural for them
to walk in victory it was so natural for
them to walk in favor that they lost
sight on the one who granted them the
favor you see everything that God did on
their behalf was because of his covenant
with them his covenant with them as a
result of a man named Abraham but you
see the Covenant of God an agreement is
an agreement only stands when both
people hold their end of the bargain and
so God would often tell them look if you
obey then this is your reward because a
covenant means that there is you hold
your end and I’ll hold my end but they
lost sight of the goodness of God and
started to think that it was because of
just how beautiful they were and how
strong they were that every time they
went on the battlefield you know what we
did that because it became their norm
and so the Lord says you know what do
you boo
the Lord is like okay cool
you want to be all strong and mighty you
really think it is your strength that
has brought you this far I will let you
see the fruit of your strength so the
Lord backs away and as a result of him
back in a way they fall into the hands
of the Philistines you see the fruit of
their strength was captivity they didn’t
realize how weak their strength actually
was and the Lord says I will let you
experience how far you can go by
yourself if you think it is by your hand
that all that has happened to you is the
is what is taking place in your life
it’s because of you rather so the Lord
backs away for 40 years there in
captivity for 40 years they are being
oppressed and then finally when they
wake up and realize God that I am
nothing without you and they call upon
the name of the Lord the Lord answers
them by sending Samson and so the
scripture tells us about how the angel
of the Lord visits Samson’s mother a
barren woman and tells her you would
actually will conceive a son and this
son shall be a Nazarite so all the
things that he speaks to her you know
don’t drink any wine no turnip for you
all right you can’t either have anything
that is unclean and one of the
categories of that is that you cannot
eat of anything that has come in contact
with the dead and these these rules will
also apply to Samson and one of the
traits of a Nazarite meant that you can
you can’t also cut their hair now none
of this was because it was about the
rules or regulations it wasn’t because
that God saw those that had dreadlocks
as more special than those that did not
but you see a Nazarite was dedicated to
God from the womb the word actually
means being set apart there’s a
scripture Jeremiah 1:5 it tells us the
Lord that she was speaking to the
Prophet Jeremiah and he said before you
were before I formed you I knew you and
before you were born I set you apart and
so each and every one of us is set apart
for God
from God for a unique purpose but how it
unfolds is very different you see some
of us we had the luxury of discovering
our our calling during our walk with God
we had the luxury of encountering God
and all of a sudden God revealing to us
oh this is who have called you to be but
for a man like Samson his calling was
announced even before he was conceived
it was revealed to his parents who he
would be that this child would bring
deliverance to the Philistines so when
he is born he is born into his destiny
immediately so what happens when God
would call someone to be offered to him
as a Nazarite the now being a Nazarite
was it symbolized a dear covenant with
God because even though God would
announce who you are before you reach
the earth used you have to make the
choice God will still honor your
freewill and so the rules was not
because it was about rules the rules was
because if you honor it if you stay
faithful to it then you stay faithful to
the Covenant that I made with you at any
moment if you feel like I don’t want
this life nothing about this you can go
against the agreement cut your hair have
your fun be just be like everyone else
if that is what you choose God would
always leave you with a choice he would
show you the truth of your destiny but
he would leave you with the choice and
so Samson being a Nazarite he had the
choice to say either I will stay
faithful to this oh I will go against it
and so he grows up as a Nazarite and the
thing is that the way that the Lord
fulfilled his promise for the Israelites
through Samson is that he empowered him
with a supernatural strength I like to
believe that Samson was the first
superhero before Hercules there was
Samson
Hercules actually might be something you
see he had I mean Samson was known to
tear a lion apart with his bare hands
the Bible tells us that with the jawbone
of a donkey
he killed a thousand people
he had a strength that came from God but
you see the crazy thing is that Samson’s
strength was became his norm he grew up
knowing he was strong
anytime he engaged in a battle it was
easy for him he found victory was his
norm to the point that Samson lost sight
of the source of his strength he lost
sight that Samson the strength upon your
life is actually the grace of God
working through you you see if you’re
taking notes I want you to write this
down perceived strength can lead you
where the presence of God will not
follow you see something believed at a
point that his strength was his
what does perceived strength look like
in our lives it looks like your gifts
the thing that God has made so easy for
you to do the thing that comes to you so
naturally you see our pastor recently
had a series called the modern church
series and in that series he talked
about the different graces of God that
functions through our lives if you
haven’t watched it please go on youtube
and watch each and every sermon and one
of them when he talked about the
Evangelist for example he talked about
how they have the appealing power of God
people tend to be drawn to them and some
I think they’re drawn to them because of
their beauty or because of how they talk
or their presence but it is actually the
grace of God through their lives that
causes people to be drawn to them and so
for many of us you know especially you
know we are in a very creative community
especially when you’re creative there
are things that seem like it just
becomes your norm that you tend to
forget who is the source of your
strength and when God is getting ready
to take you to the next level of your
destiny one of the things that God would
commonly do is that he would test what
is in your heart when you look at who
you are he will test what is in your
heart
how do you view what comes out of your
life how do you view the impact of your
life do you think that it is yours do
you take the glory or do you give God
the glory you see the truth is that no
Christian would ever say I take the
glory that’s why the Word of God says he
looks at a heart sometimes we don’t even
know what’s in our own heart and so God
will use scenarios and situations to
bring out of your heart what is actually
in there so that you may know it for
yourself and either continue to walk in
humility or to humble yourself you see
something had a scenario just like this
he was on his journey somewhere and the
lion came towards him to attack him and
that’s when the Bible tells us that he
ripped that lion in two with his bare
hands he goes to where he’s going on his
way back home he sees the dead lion and
inside of it he sees honey that was
formed by bees in the body of the dead
lion now as a Nazarite it was against
his covenant with God for him to eat
that which is in contact with the dead
but you see what is fascinating about
the scripture is that the Bible tells us
that Samson puts his hand in the dead
body of the lion to grab some honey and
to eat it
now I wondered I said God why would he
do that because if he was hungry that
would be a big deal for you to share in
the scripture because you see when Jesus
was in the wilderness and he was being
tempted by the enemy the temptation one
of the first temptation was hey Jesus
you know turn the stones into bread and
it was only a big deal and the Bible
tells us why because the Lord was hungry
so it was a big deal for him to reject
food in the moment of his hunger and so
I said then why did Samson take of the
honey if perhaps he was not hungry and
what the Lord showed me is that in that
moment
the honey represented to him the it’s
like the fruit of his victory that you
know what I just killed this lawn with
my bare hands
now inside of the lion there is honey I
did that this is the fruit of my victory
you see the Lord will test you in
scenarios that would elevate your gift
but it would demote his voice and it’s
about what you choose God do I choose to
walk with you or do I let my gift lead
my life in that moment
Samson allowed his gift to lead his
journey he looked at the dead lion when
against his covenant with God and
touched of it and ate that which came
out of it and the interesting things
family the Bible tells us about how he
takes it to his his mom his dad he
shares it with them but he does not tell
them where it came from because even he
knew that what he did was wrong but that
moment he said I want my gift to be
elevated hey regardless of the word of
God
you see oftentimes because God wants to
take you to the next phase of your life
he would position you in a job in a
place around people that cannot
recognize what you carry he would allow
you to be in a place that the fullness
of who you are is not seen because in
that place he would offer you the
opportunity for your gift to be either
elevated or for you to stay true to the
Word of God in that place all of a
sudden people will start having
conversations with you why you what are
you still doing there you’re better than
this God has gifted you got as anointed
you your life should be so much further
than where you are now they’re not
utilizing you the way they should and
what you don’t recognize is that in
those moments God is watching for your
next move what do you do when an
opportunity
it’s presented to you that would elevate
your gift but it would demote the voice
of God in your life
God would use these opportunities to
reveal to us what is actually in our
hearts that do you think that the impact
of your life is because of you or is it
because of me because when you recognize
that God the impact of my life is
because of you
you will stay submitted in a low place
because you recognize that and it’s not
about how I talk and it’s not about how
I act and it’s not about anything that I
can do it is the grace of God that makes
me who I am so god I will trust you
wherever you call me God will often use
opportunities that give you the option
to say maybe my gift should lead me or
maybe the voice of God should lead me
you see Samson was so blinded by what he
thought was his gift his strength that
there was a moment he meets a lady named
Delilah she was known as a prostitute he
fell in love with her and he you know
pursued her Delilah was bribed by the
Philistines you see they were upset
they’re like I’m over this man you know
you just think you’re out here just
being the person in charge just putting
us to shame we need to find the source
of your strength so we can defeat you
they bribe Delilah and tell her hey can
you find out the source of Samson’s
strength and we will pay you this much
money she goes back to Samson and you
have to read this story the Bible is
literally the it’s I mean that the
storytelling
of what happened in history is
incredible he goes she goes back to
Samson and she’s like you know my love
lies told on sweater
she says my love what is the secret to
your strength
Samson gives her this falls you know
speech and the crazy thing is that she
tries it what he tells her she actually
tried it and when she tried it she tells
him she’s like hey the Philistines have
come upon you and Samson was awakened
and destroy whoever was trying to come
against him because he’s like I got you
right but the thing is that something
you choose to be with a woman that is
seeking that you her agenda towards you
is very clear that is not for you but he
was so confident I got this it doesn’t
matter if we’re together and this is a
toxic relationship it will work out
because I’m above it
Delilah tries again the first time the
second time the third time nothing
happens and then she begins to bother
him she’s like you need to tell me what
is the source of your strength now
something that at this time has already
broken a couple of what it means to be a
Nazarite but this would feel it Samson
says to her you know if my hair has
never been cut from the day I was born
if you cut my hair then I will become
like every other man and of course the
lila takes the opportunity and she cuts
his hair now I want to read to you
something that happened in the scripture
in judges 1620 like usual she said the
Philistines are upon you Samson so he
awoke from his sleep and said I will go
out as before at other times and shake
myself free but he did not know that the
Lord had departed from him Samson was so
confident that it was all him that he
lost sight of where God was working
through his life
he was led by his gift and no longer led
by the Word of God that his gift led him
where the presence of God did not follow
him
you see family the favor of God is the
fruit of your alignment to God God has a
covenant many of us may wonder then what
does my covenant look like with God God
has a covenant to his word
he’s an agreement with his word when God
gives you a word he has a covenant with
that word that as long as you stay true
to that word God will back up his is on
part of the bargain that God would be
with you that God will see you through
that from that low place God would raise
you up the Bible tells us that promotion
comes from the Lord
it doesn’t say promotion comes from man
it says promotion comes from the Lord
favor is the result of your alignment
with God you see there’s a man in the
Bible called the Apostle Paul the
Apostle Paul was gifted to preach the
gospel but he did not allow his gift to
lead him because there was a point where
he wanted to go to into Asia to preach
the gospel and the Bible tells us that
the Holy Spirit forbade him to go
continue the Holy Spirit stopped him
from going into Asia now this is the
interesting thing because when the Holy
Spirit stops you it’s not that he comes
in front of you and says hey you’re not
going anywhere
he doesn’t like put you in and it isn’t
bind you it doesn’t put you in cuffs it
doesn’t put you in a prison in this
prison of God or something he
communicates to you that you are not
going into this place but you have to
make the choice to submit to that
because the Apostle Paul could have said
you know what I’m gifted I’ve been doing
this every time I preach I see the power
of God I’m going ahead
God why wouldn’t you want me to preach
the gospel it is your gospel but in that
moment he said my gift is not what would
lead my life it is the Word of God that
would lead my life and he allowed the
leading of the Holy Spirit to be that
which he
submitted to and not the voice of his
gift you see if the voice of your gift
becomes louder than the voice of the one
who gave it to you you would be led in
places that the presence of God will not
follow you
you see we often quote the scripture we
often quote the scripture that says the
Lord will never leave us nor forsake us
and that is very true but you have to
understand who he said it to he said
that to a man named Joshua Joshua’s life
was sold out to Christ he was sold out
to the will and purpose of God and so
when God says to Joshua I will never
leave you or nor forsake you when God
talks about his presence now the Lord
loves each and every one of us and the
love the Lord is everywhere but when God
begins to talk about his presence his
presence doesn’t just follow anybody
because the presence of God represents
the power of God it is in his presence
that that crazy things begins to happen
it is in his presence that miracles that
guaranteed because the Lord is there and
so when he says I will never leave you
or forsake you in the context of his
presence it is to a type of person the
type of person that says God your will
is my will what you desire of me I say
yes because the favor of God we often
say the favor of God is not fair but it
can be understood it is not a mystery
God favors where he sees what looks like
what has been ordained in heaven God
favors his word his favor is not does
not go without explanation God favors
what looks like what he said when we
when we align our lives with God I want
to be led by you God says all right now
I would empower you because you see
everything that comes from God comes
from God with intentionality it comes
from God with a purpose a blessing is a
responsibility is not luxury
so when God wants to back up your life
he backs it up because of a purpose and
that purpose means that you have already
said yes that God I want to go where you
send me and I want to do what you tell
me to do you see what the Lord began to
show me is that in this new season of
our lives the biggest destruction that
will come to your next will be
opportunities that exalt your gift but
demote his voice
you see we’re about to enter 2020
there’s so much hype around 2020 and
they should be but because of the hype
around 2020 a new decade big bigger
things newer things all of a sudden
there would be the pressure of your life
looking like victory I want to look like
I want I want to look like I secured the
bad guy all the bags
but that desire to secure the bags can
lead you to the place where God would
not follow and so it’s not about what
God just send me up a chimney after a
journey no God send me your world show
me what you have for me because I don’t
want to get lost in my gift that I fall
into the trap of thinking that the
impact of my gift is because of me
because it never had anything to do with
me in the first place it is because of
you you see David many years later we
would be introduced to a man named David
and David was also a man who was
strengthened by the Lord the Bible tells
us of how he killed a bear and a lion
how he was skilled with his slingshot
and his rocks but when it came time for
David to challenge Goliath who was also
a Philistine who came to oppress the
people in that moment David did not rely
on his skill David did not rely on his
gift
David called upon the name of the Lord
he said who are you that you come
against the Lord’s people this is where
we would experience a victory like we
have never seen family when you can
submit your gift before the Lord and say
Lord I know I’m gifted I know you have
gifted me with things I know you have
made me strong in a lot of areas but God
I also recognize that without you I am
completely nothing and so perhaps you
have positioned me in places that I keep
questioning God why am I here why did
you place me here because I recognize
that what I carry is so mighty and so
powerful you see David was a man who
killed a lion and a bear while being a
shepherd he was not in the army
none of that he was actually he was he I
mean
we always call him the underdog because
that’s how it would it would appear but
David understood that my ability to do
these things is not because of Who I am
it is because of the hand of the Lord
that is with me so he never tried to go
where his gift could lead him he stayed
where the Word of God met him and he
said Lord it is your word that would
bring promotion into my life not me
chasing things that look like what my
gift can serve David could have
registered to be part of the army he
would have gone to the king and say give
me your strongest man and let me show
you that I belong in the army let me win
favor with the King because of my
abilities
but he said no no no no no because the
very ability was not given to me by man
it was not even cultivated by me it is
because of the hand of God upon my life
and so family God may have you in a
position in a place and it feels beneath
you stay there if God led you there stay
there
don’t be in a hurry to make impulsive
decisions because you want your gift to
be seen there you go where God is not
you don’t want to build what God is not
building because at the end of the day
it would it would manifest to nothing in
the beginning it could look like a
little Samsung looks like you know you
all that and a bag of chips I mean
you’ll know why we say things like that
cuz chips is not much but if you submit
your gift to God then you would
recognize what it means it would be your
testimony that promotion comes from the
Lord family stand with me
thank you Jesus thank you Jesus
thank you Jesus
you see family the simple word that God
showed me was just that that don’t allow
your gift to lead you where his voice
did not send you there are many things
that we know how to do but not
everything is profitable to the
assignment in our lives there are many
things we can do well there are many
things it’s just like ideas I mean you
can if you sit down by yourself one day
you could come about with a hundred
ideas but it is what the Lord reveals to
you that would have impact you know what
before I started working on my second
book I was just thinking of amazing
ideas I was like god what would be a
great idea for another book and I had
many and they all sounded great and I
started working on a couple of them and
Midway the spring will stop me and then
one day I got frustrated I said God I’m
putting a lot of energy into this okay
can’t write all this page then you told
me to let it go and then he said why
don’t you ask me what you should write
because you’re relying on your wisdom
and it can only get you to that chapter
and nothing more but if you want to
write a complete book if you want the
wisdom that comes from me
[Applause]
then why don’t you ask me what you
should write it’s not always just about
starting it’s about starting to finish
and there is only one name that I know
that is the Alpha and the Omega the
beginning and the end and that is
Jehovah I complete things in him not
without him God wants to bring you to a
faithful end he doesn’t want your life
to be cut short he doesn’t want the
calling on your life to be cut short he
wants it to enter into the fullness of
what he called it to be but the
deception of allowing your gift to lead
you is that in the beginning you will
see some fruit but it wouldn’t last
you see the reason why the Israelites
could think it’s okay to worship gods
that have no substance was because even
in those moments the grace of God was
still covering them in a way
that they want it’s almost like they
they lost sight of their pain because
they’re like wow these seem like it’s
maybe working I got some food to eat but
you’re in bondage why did it take them
40 years I mean I just need a day okay
you put me in bondage I just need one
every time I see the cop right behind me
I’m like oh Jesus oh god I would never
hit another fruit snack again why would
it take them 40 years because God needed
40 years to remove from them the
deception of their strength it was not
because 40 years was punishment they
were so stubborn in how they saw
themselves that it took 40 years for
their mind to be completely free in
those moments that I need God like I
really need God we don’t need 40 years
we don’t honestly need 40 days we have
to start taking time to say Lord you
alone are the source of my strength if
there are decisions that there are
opportunities that already coming before
you and it’s saying that hey hey hey you
yes you you’re so talented you’re so
gifted with your fine self why you feel
there you should walk away go into
better things go into what the Lord is
and you would ever make it seem like the
Lord does not want you to be hidden the
Bible says you know the devil knows the
Bible okay the Bible says a city built
on the hill shall not be hidden why
would you allow yourself to be hidden
when the Lord is telling you to shine
your lights the devil can be very tricky
family he used the word of God to try to
manipulate Christ but Christ said no no
no I know your little trickeries how
many know that’s a word but but the way
the enemy would work is to say hey you
should you should be shining the whole
lot brighter why are you still there and
very easily you begin to forget that it
was the voice of God that lets you to
where you are and you start thinking god
I am gifted I should be doing one way
more than what I’m doing here
and if you don’t if it’s not happening
then I probably should walk away and the
crazy thing is that you’re having a
conversation with God but it’s not
really a real conversation because it’s
one way you’re making up your mind about
what you should do and you’re not
actually consulting the voice of God
about what your next move should be
and so in this new season family it
would be opportunities that would exalt
your gift but the motive the demote the
voice of God that the enemy would use to
fight against your position in Christ
and so in this time as we’re entering
we’re going into a new season 2020 take
the time not to write new year
resolutions take the time to say god I
need a word from you I need you to show
me what you’ve called me to do in this
season I need you to reveal to me what
my life should look like in this time
where should my submission lie what
should I be submitted to what should I
say yes and what should I say no to this
is the time not to start planning on
what God should validate in you but you
need to know the Word of God concerning
your life the Bible tells us that if
anyone lacks wisdom he should ask the
Lord who gives willingly without
reproach this is the time these next few
weeks it’s not about you know we all
have our goals right that’s cool you
know I want a six pack that’s cool but
that is not the driving force of my life
we need to start seeking God what is
your word for my life I don’t want to be
led by my gift I want to be led by you
and if you’re making that decision meet
me at the altar let us pray
[Music]
[Applause]

if you’re in the house so you’re
watching and you may not even know why
you’re here maybe your friend dried you
here and you have not made Jesus your
Lord and your Savior family there is no
life without him
and the beautiful thing about Christ is
that it’s not about somebody convincing
you to be a Christian because if I can
convince you with my words somebody can
convince you out of it with their words
it’s not about that the Holy Spirit
knows how to make himself real to you
that’s why you may be in the house and
all of a sudden there’s a burning
sensation on your heart there are
different things that the Lord has been
showing you that led you to this moment
of being in the house of God and so
you’ve been having all kinds of
questions but you know it’s Jesus really
the only way is there another way but
God keeps showing up to you and saying
my child I am your Lord I am your Savior
and I want to give you life real life
not that fluffy stuff you see on
television I want to give you real life
I want to give you you the Bible tells
us that our lives are hidden in Christ
not hidden in culture not hidden in
society but it is hidden in Christ if
you don’t know the Lord and you’re
saying that god I want to make you my
personal Lord and my Savior
I just want you to put your hand up
thank you Jesus
