So today I want to talk to you about greater glory.
Get ready for greater glory. Greater glory is coming.
Somebody. Are you ready for this one?
Yeah. And I believe this is the way
the Lord showed me. I believe that October is the
month of greater glory. This month, October, get ready
for something big, something huge.
God sent me here with the word today that greater is coming.
And I believe with all of my heart that God is speaking a
fresh now word for right now. What are you doing right now,
God? And God spoke to me and gave me
this word today. And so greater is coming.
Say that with me. Say greater is coming.
Yeah, yeah, greater is coming. Hallelujah.
Tell your neighbors. Say greater is coming.
Yeah, greater is coming. Greater is coming to your house.
Greater is coming to your family.
Greater is coming to your career, your finances, your
health, your heart, your future. Greater is coming.
Somebody say Hallelujah. Yeah.
Now you may feel sometime you like, you might feel stuck, or
you may feel that your base days are behind you.
Hold on. God's not finished.
He's only. He's just only getting started.
He's just getting started with something bigger and better and
full of his favor. He's just getting started.
Hallelujah. And that is what the message is
about today. Greater glory.
Greater is coming. It's bigger.
It's better. It's going to be huge.
It's going to be awesome. The best is yet to come.
The best is coming. Somebody the best is coming.
Say that the best is coming. Yeah.
Tell your neighbor the best is coming.
The best is coming. Yeah, the base is coming.
I remember my mom, after having four kids, right at the end, and
we thought it's all over. God's like, no, the base is
still coming. And after four children, God
blessed my mom with twins. And I'm like, wow, God.
Thank you, you left the the the base for last and it was a
double blessing. It was a double dose, a double
blessing. I was like, I'm going to leave
the best for. And those twins, my brother and
sister, what's amazing is they were born in the month of
October this month. And God showed me get ready this
month for double blessing. Get ready for greater glory,
greater blessings. God saved the best for lives.
Thomas, somebody, are you getting us?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. God spoke to me and he said
release that word and I'm going to release that today.
And we're going to go into Haggai.
Let's go together. Haggai chapter 2.
Are you ready, Church? Your latter will be greater.
Yeah, your latter will be greater.
Is this mic OK or it seems OK? Is that fine?
First time I'm preaching on this one.
Thanks Alan team for setting everything up nicely.
So let's go into Haggai chapter 2, and we're going to flow there
from verse 9. Right, Greater glory Haggai
chapter 2, verse 9. This is very, very powerful
scripture in the book of Haggai. It says the glory of this.
Present house will be greater, somebody say greater than the
glory of the former house, says the Lord Almighty.
Let's just pray. Father, we thank you for your
presence in this House. Holy Spirit, move, open our
hearts, lift our faith, speak Lord, we are listening, we are
receiving a Lord. Pour out greater glory, not by
might, not by power, but by your Spirit.
In Jesus mighty name we pray and God's people shout.
Amen, Hallelujah. So Haggai chapter 2, God spoke
to a people that's worn down, a people that's tired, The God's
people, they are discouraged because they are rebuilding this
now second temple here in the book of Haggai.
But they are looking back at the previous temple.
And it seems like this temple they are building right now is
smaller. It's less, remember Solomon's
temple, much bigger, grand, shiny.
And so they are feeling like this is small, this is not as
grand, as shiny as the old one. Solomon's temple were bigger.
This one, it seems just small, just like a step down.
And life can sometimes feels like that.
Curveballs, closed doors. It's just a laid down, a
disappointment. The plan did not work out and it
just looks smaller. And when it looks like it's
smaller, the season doesn't look great.
It's easy to settle there. It's easy to say, well, this is
just how it's always going to be and this is just how as good as
it gets. This is it's easy to settle
there and then, but God says the opposite.
God says something different. God says greater glory is
coming. Come on.
Greater glory is that's the word of the Lord for us today that
greater glory is coming. Somebody say greater glory is
coming. Yeah, it's coming.
OK? It's not hype.
This is a promise from the Word of God that greater is coming.
And so I want you to get this context where God's people,
Judah, they are rebuilding this temple.
And what they're doing is they're comparing this temple,
this present temple, they're comparing it with the old one,
with the previous one, with Solomon's one.
And Solomon one was much more fancy glitz and glamour.
The Solomon temple, the big, this one seems lesser, it seems
smaller. And they are disappointed.
They are like God, This is a step down, this temple.
It's not as great as the previous one, but God does not
ignore them. God addresses they
disappointment and I want you to see this in context because the
verses just before that verse 3, God goes and he says, listen
through his prophet Haggai. He says, who of you have seen
the former temple? Who if you remember Solomon's
temple? And those were some of those
were there and he said, OK, now what do you think of this one
right now? And they are like, well, this is
a step down. This is less.
It seems like it's just smaller. It just seems like it's not as
good as the other one is. And then God comes and the
Scripture before this he says to them through his prophet, He
says be strong because I am with you, my spirit remains among
you, do not fear. And then he comes, OK, and this
is our word for today, Church, OK, because he says this
pinnacle promise from the book of Haggai, He says, listen, you
may be disappointment, it may look like lesser and swollen all
over, but let me tell you something.
The glory of this present house is going to be greater or
somebody is going to be greater than the previous one.
It's going to be greater than Solomon, simple.
It's going to be greater than the former and God speaks
through his prophet and that is our word today that greater
glory is coming, greater anointing is coming.
Your current situation may feel small, Your current season that
you may be you might feel that is lesser or small.
Maybe your job, your current job might feel lesser.
The situation that you're in right now, it may feel that
you're smaller. Maybe the your friendship
circles of your friends seem smaller, smaller, thinner.
Okay, your plans have been delayed, but God says hold on.
Writer is coming, more is coming, better is coming in your
next chapter of your life, it's coming.
Somebody shout Hallelujah. You see, one thing I want us to
understand is God doesn't measure in the fancy.
He when God measures, he doesn't look at the fancy, the glitz and
the glamour. No, God measures by a level of
glory the the presence, the weight of his presence.
That is how God measures when he looks at things.
And so the old temple, Solomon had more glitz and glamour and
more grand. But God says this temple will
carry more presence. My presence will become both the
heavyweight of my they win more of presence and church.
That is our key. Presence is your greatest
advantage in life. The presence of God, that's your
advantage. And he says I am with you, the
presence of God. That presence of God is better
than Hollywood. It's better than glitz and
glamour. It's better than the fame.
It's better than resources, connections, plans.
Does the the presence of God is the best thing that you can have
in your life. That's glorious.
That's how God looks. He does not measure on the
outward how big is the bank account?
How big is the God looks at the level of presence, the weight of
his presence, because his presence that is the different
maker in your life that makes a difference.
That is your edge, it's his presence.
When God is with you, doors open up that no man can shut.
When God's presence is with you, favour falls you that you did
not even expect. Hallelujah, God's presence is
with you. That is your edge that.
Is this one? Oh, I'm back.
I'm back. So yeah, the presence of God,
that makes the difference. The presence of God in our lives
distinguishes. That's what Moses said.
God, when you go with us, then the people will see.
It is your presence that people will know that we are the
children of God. And so the presence of God, that
is what turns less into more. It's the presence of God.
Where God says the presence will be greater here in this present
house than the former one, it will turn what is less into
more. Are you with me somebody?
Now let's go deeper. Let's carry on.
In Haggai chapter 2, I want to show you something in verse 19
that's very powerful. He says, yeah, God calls them.
And he says from this day on, wow, I love that.
From this OK, day on, I will bless you.
So now in chapter 1, the people were sitting around idle,
procrastinate, OK, this story. But then all of a sudden the
people started obeying. And so when they started obeying
back to work, OK, sit around idle, back to work.
Let's get back to work. OK, If you don't have work, you
don't need back to work. And so when they got back to
work, when they start doing something, when they start
getting even though he did not look very impressive, even
though the temple, it looks smaller.
But then the Bible says that very moment when they said yes,
when they started getting building the temple, God flipped
the calendar. That's when God changed the
season. If the blessing didn't wait for
the temple for the finished building project, it didn't
work. It, it, it began when they
started picking up tools, when they started working, when they
started getting yes to the Lord, when they agreed to God and they
started moving from not yet to yes Lord.
And that's when the blessing kicked in.
That's when God, that's how quickly God can change your
season. It's the moment you come into
agreement with God, the season changes.
God changes this. The moment you align and you
come in agreement with God, things shift in your life like
that quick from this day onwards.
When we come in alignment right now, God says I'll bless you.
That's how quick it is. We don't have to wait another
year for another breakthrough. Something right now.
When you come in alignment right here in this very place, God can
shift your season in a moment. That's how quick it can happen.
And so here's the key. Obedience changes the season.
So if you are in a season you want to obedience aligned with
God. OK now maybe you have been
waiting for things to get better, you've been waiting for
things to improve. OK, before you move, God says
start now. Start right now and watch how I
will switch and shift your season.
Start right now, agree with Him and watch God the blessings
start kicking in. It just kicks in that quick when
you agree with him. From this day on, I will bless
you and that flows into a very powerful promise.
Heziah, what's this 43 verse 19? It says, see I am doing a new
thing now. It brings up, do you not
perceive it? I love that.
A new thing. So the end.
It's not like what it looked like a dead end.
That's not the final picture. God is already working something
fresh. New relationships already.
He's working on new relationships, new
opportunities, new wisdom, new ideas, working on.
So what looked permanent is not permanent.
Maybe the medical report says that it's permanent.
You just have to accept the sickness, live with it, accept
it. It's permanent.
But God says I'm doing something new.
I'm doing something new in your health.
Fresh energy, fresh strength, freshness, doing something.
Maybe you've there's a struggle in the family or with the
children. There's been off course.
God is saying I'm doing something new.
Change or breaking turn around is coming for those kids.
Come on somebody, maybe it's an addiction that tried to define
you. God is saying today is a new
day, a fresh start, a clean break.
Come on, somebody, let's show you anointing of the Holy Ghost
to this place. The Lord is speaking to you.
There's a clean break. There is a fresh start on doing
something. New is coming.
Come on, Say that. The new is coming.
New is. Yeah.
Tell us. Tell you never.
New is coming. New is coming.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's coming.
It's coming. And you see, that is what I love
about our God because he specializes in that.
That's the God we serve. He specializes in turning things
around. You see, our part is just agree
with him. We come in a light.
We agree with God. Yes, Lord, you are doing a new
thing. And we come in agreement with
him and yes, we believe it. And then we speak it.
Because here's the thing. What you agree with starts
showing up in your life. What you agree with, you believe
it, you speak it, that starts showing up in your life.
Now let me give you a picture. Think of a construction site.
And so the building site is going on.
And so it's in the middle of the construction site.
Then it's just the build. It looks messy.
There's piles of dirt, there's scutfolding, the scaffolding is
lying everywhere. And so this building project is
going on and the walls are half builded full, shaking all the
And so if you judge it right, then it looks like a disaster.
OK, but the builder is not nervous.
The builder has got the blueprint.
The builder knows the schedule. The builder knows exactly when
the scaffolding is coming down. And so he's following the plan.
And so your life might feel right now like a construction
site. It might feel very messy,
incomplete. Life might feel shaky in the
middle of a construction site while it's being pulled.
But maybe you feel that life is smaller than what you've
imagined. Your life isn't a season.
It feels smaller than what you have hoped for.
But your builder is not worried. He has got the plan.
He is not behind. He's got you in a process, He's
not over budget. Your builder, he knows exactly
what he's doing in the season of your life, going through the
building process, building you now.
So He has the plan, and so the mess, the difficulty, the
challenge, that is part of the building process.
We all go through the Mason, the mistake and the difficulty and
the challenge because God is building us.
He's building His church. It's a building project.
It's a construction site. OK?
You don't just walk in there. Oh, boom, there's the whole
building done. It's a process.
Come on, somebody come on. You understand what I'm saying?
I'm just talking in very practical terms of how God is
building His church. And so just remember, because
then at the end of the process, because she takes us and this is
where we're going to get to the message, because she takes us on
levels, we go and grow through levels of glory.
And so the end is glory. So don't get discouraged in the
middle of the building project. Don't get discouraged, but trust
the one that is in charge, just the one that is over all
everything that is in control, Almighty God, trust Him in and
through the process because eventually your story ends in
glory. Oh Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
I feel the anointing in this place.
That's how the story ends in glory.
Now let me give you another. This is amazing picture.
I always love this list, my spirit.
And that is a sunrise. Now you know, I'm a morning
person, OK? And one of the best things I in
the mornings for me is to sit and watch the sun come up.
That is just so close. It's just some of the things.
It still gets me emotional every time when I sit and I watch the
sun comes up, it just touches me in a very amazing way.
It's like a fresh start. It's a reminder that God is
faithful and it means the world to me to just to see that moment
when the sky starts to light up that moment.
It's just it's it's really huge in my life for me, that's
something I in the mornings. I really look forward to that.
And so the Bible puts it so beautifully.
One of my favorite scriptures in Proverbs 418.
The path of righteous is like the morning sun shining ever
brighter till the full light of. So when you watch a sunrise, the
first thing just a little soft glow on the horizon, then color
starts sneaking in. But don't stop there, that's
only the beginning of the sunrise.
OK, it's not the full picture. Don't stop there.
Keep your eyes on it, because the light spreads, and when you
keep on looking, you keep on that sunrise, it spreads and it
goes more light, and then the warmth builds and that warmth
comes, and pretty soon the whole sky is alive in beauty, shining
bright sunrise. Oh, that touches me.
That's exactly how God works in our lives.
OK, He doesn't always bring change in one big flash.
It's a glow. A soft, gentle, step by step
glow. Lighter, lighter, a little bit
more light shining from glory to glory.
And that's the step of glow. That's how God works in our
lives. Just a little bit of light and
then a little bit more, and then it's from brighter.
And so you might not be right now in the midday bright sun,
but I don't want you getting discarded because you are now.
You are already brighter than where you were before.
Come on, somebody, you're already shining more than
before. Yes, you're shining.
You see, you're not dimming down, you're not dumbing down,
shrinking, but you are lighting up, increasing more light.
Oh, today there's more light for us, more light, brighter,
brighter. So don't size up your whole life
just based on a hint of light, OK?
Listen, if you see right now, you just see a little bit of
light right now, just the hints of hang in there because that is
God's way of saying the sun is coming up.
The sun is rising, he's on his way up.
So keep on believing, come on, keep on thanking, keep on
praising, keep on because the crater is coming, it's coming,
it's coming. And you see the same God who
starts the sunrise, the same God who kicks it off, He's not going
to stop in the middle. He's not.
He's the same God who kicks off the sunrise is not going to quit
in the middle. He's going to bring it the full
way all the way to glory. Hallelujah, full glory.
Oh Hallelujah, glory to glory. And he says 2nd Corinthians 318.
But we all with an unveiled first building, I said in the
middle of the glory of our being transformed.
You see the process into the same image from somebody say
glory to glory, just as by the spirit of the Lord.
It's it's by the Spirit. So God's taking you from one
level of glory to another level of glory.
Keep on typing one brighter to the next brighter.
And it keeps on just like the sunrise.
It starts with a soft gentle hints of life.
And so the whole sky floods with light everywhere.
In that same way, your path gets brighter and brighter and
brighter, and he keeps on going. And that is how he moves you
from glory to another level of glory, from glory to glory to
greater glory. He moves you.
He shifts you. So right now, you might feel
like you are at the crack of dawn.
Maybe it's 7:00 AM in the morning and it still feels a
little bit dark in maybe some parts of your life.
Don't worry, midday is coming. The midday, noon, midday warm is
around the corner. The full sunshine is coming.
The sun is rising. Your path is not fading, it's
brightening. It's increasing glory.
The sun is rising. God is pouring more light, more
understanding, more wisdom, more joy, more purpose, more peace on
your life. There is more breakthroughs, new
things are coming, new blessings are coming, and they are going
to light up every part of your life.
Every day another part of your life lights up.
And then this part of my life lights up.
Oh yes. So what happens is if you look
at your life a decade ago, you will realize you are shining
brighter than before. Hallelujah, somebody, you've got
some praise. Somebody said Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Yes, yes, health is rising,
peace is rising, joy is rising, purpose is rising in your life.
Just agree with it. And when you agree with God, you
say yes, God, greater is coming to my house, greater is coming
to my family. Say that with me, greater is
coming to my house, greater is coming to my family, greater is
coming to my future, greater is coming to my life.
Give God some praise, somebody, are you with me?
Because sometimes smaller is greater, and So what looks small
is loaded with glory. So don't judge by size the sin
in the spirit. You know a little girl, she sent
a penny to a missionary and the penny bought the gospel tract
and a young chief read the gospel tract.
God saved, leading his entire whole village to Jesus, from 1
penny to a whole church born. Come on, somebody.
You're getting that small exciter for one penny.
Church born, my God, I've seen this again and again when you
honor God with the small, honor God in the small.
Keep heart soft, gentle, and you keep on honouring God.
Oh, the small signs of life. It starts popping up, a new idea
that actually clicks, a new idea, OK, like a conversation
that leads to a connection, like an opening you didn't see
coming. And so don't brush it off
because it looks small, OK? Because small.
That's often how God begins, how our big begins.
Don't despise small beginnings because God loves to bring
greater out of a small season. It might look small, but God
loves to that's let me show you amazing.
This is one of my favorite stories in the Bible.
In John chapter 2, you know the wedding of Cana and so they're
having this great celebration. It's music going party
celebration. The people are enjoying
themselves and then the announcement.
Nobody wants to year the wine ran out.
They ran out of wine. OK, now imagine you are at this
wedding and that wedding. Everyone's celebrating,
everyone's having a great time, the music playing, festivity,
and all of a sudden the wine runs out.
Boom, no more wine, Nothing. OK, now for me it's like showing
up at a barbecue and the grills run out of meat.
OK, let me instead of saying BBQ like Nick says, let me just
rephrase myself and say Bry. OK, Nick, I'm sure you'll be
happy when I say Bry, not BBQ, OK, I'm just saying BBQ.
But shine up at a barbecue and the grill runs out of meat.
That that to me, it's OK. A BBQ is not a BBQ.
A bride is not a bride if if there's no steak, OK, I like my
well steak, burger, patties, sausages, boudevoir.
I mean, come on, both them guys, we know what we're talking
about, OK? So we we got to have some meat
at a BBQ. So for me, a BBQ is not a bar
without meat. And so they run out of wine.
Now suddenly, you know, if there's no meat.
I mean, I remembered one time Michelle's like, listen, we've
got people coming over, geese are coming and we don't have
meat, and we got to have a BBQ. I'm like, listen, I I jump in
the car, I'm like, listen, let's go get some steaks.
Come on. Where's the steak people in this
place? OK, We got to go get some
steaks. Yeah.
OK, Tom hikes steak. OK, Jules, he he brings the the
big ones. OK, the beaten knows the Texan
steaks. OK, so we're just gonna pull out
these steaks because we know how to have a barbecue.
And so back in those days, I mean, because The thing is, if
there's no meat and then you've got the case and all of a sudden
all the folks are eyeing out the potato salad for the main
course, OK? No, OK, I enjoy potatoes.
But listen, for me, it's steaks number one, OK?
Is there's got to be steak. Now, back in those days, in
Bible days, running out of wine, that is a big deal, OK?
Especially those days for the host, you know, running out of
of meat at a BBQ, you get the picture.
It could shame the host running out of wine.
It could shut down the wedding. This is a big deal, OK?
And so what's going on there? I want you to picture this, OK?
Because they're having a great time, a great celebration.
All of a sudden, big trouble and the servants are running
panicked everywhere. They're like, Oh my God, what
are we going to do? Because there's no more wine.
But you know what I love about Mary?
She knows. She knows.
She goes straight to Jesus now. Yes, I know.
That's her son. But listen, let's learn a lesson
here from Mary. When there's a problem, when
there's a difficult situation in your life, go straight to Jesus.
Come on, somebody. Yes, yes, he's our first.
He's our first. There's a big problem here.
We've got a big issue and yes, we, we have facilities and, and
medical and all of that. I understand all those things,
but who's come first? Who's our first lover?
Thank you. He's our number one.
He's our first point of point. The first thing Jesus helped me.
Now my, my son needs help. My children first before the
phone call Jesus and I love it. Mary's like listen, and she goes
to Jesus and she tells him the problem.
She's like, listen my son, we are out of wine.
This is a big deal. This is a big major problem.
And so Jesus now maybe you know what it feels like to run out.
Maybe it feels like you know what it feels like running low.
You maybe you have started with strength and now your strength
is feeling low. Maybe you've started, maybe you
started on fire for God and it's your fire is dummy.
It's running low, lost the joy of your salvation used to be so
on fire for Jesus everything, but now the joy is running low
and it's just it feels like the faith is low and the business
that once boomed, it slowed down and the bank account looks empty
and so the strength is fading and the jars they look empty.
And so yes, Jesus. But you know what I love about
him? He gives this simple
instruction. He says full the empty, full the
empty jars with water. OK, simple, just it's not
complicated. It's just obedience.
Just do it. Fill it with water.
And so obedience, they fold them to the brim and here comes Jesus
and he turns the water into why Hallelujah.
Thank God for Jesus. Thank God that Jesus is at the
wedding. I'm so thankful that Jesus
because he doesn't just solve the problem, but Jesus makes it
better. My God, I love that.
That's what Jesus does when he comes into our lives.
He makes your life better. That's true that I'm not talking
about religion. Religion makes dead.
Religion makes people dry and dead.
Jesus makes your life better, better.
He turns the water into listen, when Jesus comes into your life,
he makes your life. He turns your water into wine.
He makes your life sweet. He turns the water it.
He takes you from survival to revival.
He turns and you, when you empty doesn't just give you a refill,
He makes it better. Better, the best ever.
Hallelujah. Because that's what the master
of the banquet said. He's like, you have saved the
best until now. Oh my God.
Thank you, Lord, that you have saved the best wine for this
season of 2025. You have saved the best for this
generation, the very best. The joy, all the best ideas, the
best inventions, the best jobs, the best friendships.
You've saved it for now. You've saved the best for now.
Hallelujah. Oh, I'm so excited that he has
saved the best for this generation.
I thank God that I was not born 100 years ago.
I thank God that I live in this generation right now.
And God saves the best for now. Oh my goodness, doesn't I?
Just lift your spirits that he saved the best for now.
The best of the best for now. There's such a time as this.
OK, so the overflow is for now, something amazing, Something
great, something awesome. It's bigger, it's better, it is
just something better. And you know what I love?
It's not complicated because I want you to see how this was
unlocked and released. Are you ready for this?
How was this unlocked? How was this better?
This best unlocked and released. How was the overflow unlocked?
I want you to get this because it's very powerful today.
How to unlock the overflow? The overflow was unlocked
through obedience. You get that, Judge.
What unlocked better obedience, Mary said.
Do whatever he tells you. Oh, do whatever he tells you.
That is a church. That's the secret.
That's obedience. That's what Mary said.
Do whatever. And the servants, they did not
go into debate with Mary. Oh, Mary, we don't think this is
going to. They did not debate, said they
did not question. They did not.
Oh, Pastor Michelle, I think no debating, no questioning, no
obedience. They obey.
He said whatever I whatever he tells you to do, do it.
Simple obedience, that's the key that unlocks the overflow.
The servants, they did it and boom the miracle was released.
Boom, the overflow was released. Beta was released.
Better wine better than it Obedience unlock.
That's what I did unlock overflow that's obedience.
It unlocks the best, the better the overflow.
So when God judges you to do something, even if it seems
small or it doesn't seem like it makes sense, if God nudges you
and prompts you to do something, do whatever he says, OK?
Because when you obey the law, you release your miracle.
When you say yes, you come alignment and agreement and you
obey the law, you release better the this one the best list.
Chase 123, I'm back. So just do whatever he tells
you. And often that step that unlocks
the overflow, that unlocks the miracle, the blessing, often
that step seems small. Sometimes it just seems like it
just doesn't make any, or it just seems more.
It's like the Holy Spirit prompts you send the e-mail and
I put, Lord, why must I send that?
And, and, and the Holy Spirit just like, listen, I want you to
apply for that and apply again. But I'm like, oh, Lord, I've
already applied for apply again and the Holy Spirit comes in,
acknowledge you. It's like, hey, just slip in the
flyer to that person. Just just go to Genesis box,
Just flip a flyer there. Go to that place, go to the Peel
Center, just flip a flyer and then speak to somebody at the
Lexicon. Just do that.
Maybe just go and encourage somebody at work, but Lord, I'm
not, I'm busy. I've got to the Lord's like,
listen, I know you, you buy your grocery store and you, you're
shopping all that. You see that person standing
over there, they, they buy the milk section.
You just woke up and you just the Lord, not just you go speak
to that person, reach out to them.
You see that's that prompting. Just go and just go and join
that connect group. Just go and sign up to serve.
Don't do that. That's the promptings.
Because in your hands, sometimes it looks like water, but in his
hands it becomes wine. Yeah.
He turns it.
He turns water into wine. He makes the situation sweet.
And notice Jesus didn't just make more wine, He made it
better. OK, because the master banquet
didn't say, oh, you brought out the extra wine, the leftovers.
No, no, no, he said, you have saved the best.
So when he turned the water into, he made it the best, he
made it better. You saved the best till now this
generation, the best wisdom, the best ideas, the best AI tools,
the best music, the best relationships for this
generation, not 100 years ago, right now, the best for now, the
best wisdom for now, the best relationships, the best
opportunities in this generation.
The new wine, it wasn't just average, ordinary, just OK wine.
It was the best, better than before.
That's what God wants to do in your life.
He wants to make your life better than before.
Better. The best life rider is coming.
Rider is coming. Oh, the best.
It's the best is next. The best is next.
Yeah, the best is next. Your next job can be more
fulfilling. Your next season can carry more
joy. Your the next relationship can
be healthier. So just grab this in your spirit
today. The best is next.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Somebody say that the beast is
next. OK, now let me just give you
quickly real, just three keys how to receive and to carry this
beast. Number one, you need the right
container. Yeah.
To receive a fresh outpour, new blessing, the beast, to receive
it and to carry it #1 you need the right container.
Matthew 9, verse 17. Neither do.
Yeah, neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins.
If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out,
and the wineskins will be ruined.
Now they pour new wine into new wineskins.
And both are preserved, you see. Then the wine and the wine skin
is preserved. OK, so you get that because back
then in Bible days, a new wine skin.
The thing is with a new wine skin, it's soft, it's flexible
and a new wine skin, it stretches.
You see, that's why it's good because it can stretches and
that's why it can take the new wine.
But the problem is when that wine skin becomes hard and
rigid, then when you pour the IT puss, that's the problem with
what he's talking about. Wine scheme that is now old and
hard and rigid is not flexible anymore.
And he says, listen, new wine, if you want this new blessing,
the new, the better it goes in a new wine scheme and new wine
schemes. Listen to us.
It just talks about a soft heart.
When we have soft hearts and a teachable spirit, OK, a new
mindset, words, faithful words, our speech, new wineskins.
OK, so the new wineskin. Because if we stay stuck in old
patterns, in old habits, holding grudges, complaining what did
not work, why is that not working?
Negativity, holding grudges, that old wineskin, it cannot
hold the new blessing. It cracks under pressure #2 the
don't limit God because the new may not look like what you have
pictured. The new might come in in a
different way. I grew up Dutch Reformed, but
the new came through Pentecostal.
It came through the spiritual church.
OK. Now, when I grew up in those
days, I did not hear about the Holy Spirit.
I did not understand it. And when I walk into service, it
was all different and I'm like God.
I've never seen somebody raise their hands to heaven because I
grew up in a Dutch Reformed Church back in South Africa.
And God's like, don't limit me. Don't box me in to a religious
organization the way I grew up that says I have to be holy.
I cannot hold my hand, I cannot clap, I cannot pray in tongues,
this, this, that, miracles. It's only until I walked into
the new and I said, Oh my God, I'm not going to box you in
because it might come in a different way.
And in fact, it might come in through a different person.
And so a different person or a different way.
Let's not limit God because remember, the Bible says that
God is higher. He's wise as higher.
Chapter 55, He's wise, He's higher.
So who are we to put limitations on how God can do it, how he's
going to bring the next revival, how he's going to save souls?
I mean, my God, what if God chooses to use AI and he goes on
all the social platforms, all the media platforms all around
the world, and he saves people that way?
You see, we cannot put God in a box.
We cannot say this is how God is going to do so.
Stay open even when it's different, even when it's
unfamiliar, because sometimes it's often loaded with favor #3
it seems light. Now.
Sometimes the blessing, it seems late on our calendar, but it's
not late on God's calendar. Listen, think of Ray Kroc.
Now Ray Kroc, if you think of him, he did not scale McDonald's
in his 20s, OK? Now, the, the, the, the
expansion happened for Ray Kroc in McDonald's in his 50s.
Now a lot of people will say 50s.
OK, well, look, I'm a bit old now.
I'm, I'm in my 50s. I'm a bit old now.
I'm going to take it easy. That's a little bit too much for
me. I am not going to change or
that's a bit of a big change. I'm too old now.
I'm looking forward for retirement.
Not Ray Kroc. He was in his 50s when
McDonald's exploded. In his 50s, he saw the potential
in McDonald's and you can read his autobiography.
He saw the potential with the burgers in McDonald's and he
stepped in. He grabbed hold of the
opportunity and boom. And it exploded and he had great
success. So he success, yes it can late,
greater success it can later. But they are not less, they are
greater. God is setting you up for the
best now. Beware of two thieves, OK?
Of the best, The two thiefs of the base is nostalgia and
negativity. Now nostalgia, what it will tell
you. Nostalgia says it used to be
better. The good old days used to be
better. Yeah, that's a thief.
The other one is negativity. Negativity says it's not going
to work. OK, this won't work.
The servants at Cana, if they would have said, OK, we have
seen wine, this is water, this won't work, they would have
missed the miracle. Nostalgia and negativity.
Nostalgia, a memory. Negativity, a mood.
Don't let a memory or a mood rub you and talk you out of your
blessing, out of your miracle, out of your place.
Don't let them rob you of your miracle.
Are you getting this somebody? Come on, let's put our hands
together for the Lord. Now listen, it is good to
remember the good times, the good old days, OK?
I'm not saying it's good to, but don't live there, OK?
The good old days, but don't live there.
I mean, I'm like, OK, yeah, the good old days back in South
Africa, don't live there, OK? It's good to remember those
days, but don't live because listen, God is not repeating
your yesterday. God is doing something brand
new. Come on, somebody, are you
getting this today? He's doing something brand new.
And so God, he is not taking you back to what was.
He's not taking you back to the pot.
He's not taking you back to what was.
He is leading you into something that he calls greater.
Oh, Hallelu, I feel the anointing of God in this place.
Yes, he's taking you something bitter and greater.
I'm like, all but the good old days.
We had such revival in Joburg, South Africa.
We've seen the miracles. We've seen the HIV, AIDS heal,
this, this, that. Oh, the revival in South Africa.
Listen, thank God for what's happened there.
I thank God for the pastor that showed and demonstrated the
miracles. I thank God.
But we are not there now. We are here now and this is
better. This is revival.
Hallelujah. And so that's why he's like,
listen, the Scripture says that the glory of this prison house
says is greater than the former. That's the word of the Lord for
us today. That's what the Scripture says
in the book of Haggai, that this glory is greater than the
former. Thank God for the good old days,
but this is greater and this is better.
And so when God flips the page, when God turns the chapter, he
restores. But he doesn't just restore, he
restores better. Yeah.
And he calls it double. That's let me read it to you as
I 61 Instead of your shine, you will receive a double position.
That's your Father's heart. Your latter will be greater.
Are you getting this church? Your latter will be greater.
And so God doesn't just give back what was lost, OK?
He restores, OK? Not just what he restores, He
multiplies. He talks it double.
OK, Now remember Job, after all the trouble, the Bible says yes,
God restored, but God didn't just restore what he lost.
He didn't just restore. The Bible says God gave him back
twice as much as he had before, twice as much favour, influence,
the good stuff, the blessing, twice as much as he had before.
That is double portion Hallelujah.
And so when you look at his life, the latter, the end was
greater. The best is yet to come.
Your latter will be greater. The things that is coming in
your life is going to be bigger, is going to be better, is going
to be more anointed, more favor in your life, better
opportunities, better businesses, better jobs, better
is coming Church your latter. And I want to speak that over
your life, your latter will be greater.
Oh, I declare and declare that your latter will be greater,
your latter will be greater. The best is yet to come.
The best, the better. The bigger it's more.
It's double. This is the month of October.
Get ready, Church. It's about to blow out.
It's about to break out into your lives, into your community.
It's going to spread like wildfire.
And no devil in hell can stop the plans of God.
Oh, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Yes.
I feel the looting of going to this place.
I feel the glory of kind that your letter will be better.
Oh, your latter, You ain't seen nothing yet.
Oh, I feel that waiting. Oh, yes, your latter will be
greater. Say that with me.
Say my latter will be greater. Tell your neighbor your latter
will be greater. Yeah, God doesn't skimp.
He gives you double for your trouble.
So whatever you've walked through, set back loss,
disappointment, difficulty, God gives you double joy for the
tears, double opportunities for the closed doors, double peace
for the worry, double restoration.
Somebody he's not leaving you at even He is taking you higher
into better into overflow. The plans He has for you is good
to bless you, to prosper you, to give you a hope with an expected
end, and that is greater glory. Greater is coming.
Now I'm just thinking, shall I stop you or can I go on a little
bit longer? Is it OK?
Can I go? Are you not tired?
You're not sleepy, You're not. Can I go on a bit more because
I'm just thinking or shall I just close it from here because
there, there is a part here, OK, so you want more, but this part
is a bit deeper. Can I, can you handle it?
Because I don't want to go too deep here now.
OK, can we get some hungry ones? OK, I want to show you
something. This is really powerful John
Fortune about the greater works. OK, greater things are coming.
I got to throw in John 14 because it really fits in nicely
with greater glory, right? Because Jesus was talking about
the greater things that's coming.
Is that OK if I just run John 14?
Yeah, just real quick. OK, let me just show you this in
John 14 about and what Jesus said about the greater things
fairly truly I tell you whoever believes in me will do the works
I have been doing and they will do even somebody shout greater.
OK, yeah, yeah, yeah. OK we we we're going deep.
We're going deep today greater things than these because I am
going to the Father. OK, so greater is coming greater
things is coming greater works now here it is OK, the greater
things the greater glory, the greater is about to come through
you OK, I told you it's going to be dead.
I told you it's going to be dead because the greater things that
is talking in John 14, the Bible says is the greater is going to
come through you. That's how it's going to happen.
It's going to happen through you.
Are you ready for this? Oh, my God.
Oh, Jesus. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's greater things is about greater works through you.
So it's the same Jesus working in and through us, but greater
reach. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's greater reach. This is this.
I want you to see this. Now listen, look at something
like the YOU Version Bible app. OK, it started with a simple
idea of EU version Bible app Simple idea.
Just this guy from church. What if the Bible could be in
your pocket? Easy to access, easy to read the
Bible anywhere in its simple obedience.
Step by step building it. And now the Bible app is on
millions on phones and people around the world, around the
globe, millions of people. They it's helping people all
over the world to connect with God's Word through a Bible app
on the phones. Come on, somebody OK, right.
So it's extraordinary influence from everyday yeses.
OK, that is the great effects. That is the greater works in our
day, the same message saying Jesus greater reach and all of a
sudden millions. Yes, you're 30,000.
You can give. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You get your 30,000. You get your millions.
Oh, you, you, you go with your multitude to heaven.
Do you get your millions of souls?
Come on shows. Come on, come on. 01 idea, one
idea. We didn't say how or what's or
stand on every corner. Listen every guys like one app,
one idea 1 witty invention 1 Bible app and you influence
millions of souls billions on this planet higher reach when
the last at any cost same Jesus greater rich.
Listen, think of Lecrae the rapper.
OK, listen, you know the rapper right now, he went through a
pain, doubt feels like didn't fit.
But Lecrae, the rapper, he kept on showing up, kept on, you
know, with his rapping music. What's amazing is he kept on
sharing his faith through his rapping music.
And because he kept on being faithful and sharing, God opened
doors on mainstream in the world where the gospel has not reached
through his rapping somebody. It might be a different way, but
it's reaching people, platforms, places in the world that nobody
expected. But he's a rapper.
Who is that now? Church music or not, he's he's
sharing his faith. It's the same message, but he's
reaching millions. He's reaching millions.
Somebody, let's create the rappers.
Come on, listen, we are living in the AIH.
Watch this space. Watch AI, how God is going to
use it. The church is going to use AI.
We're going to spread the gospel.
He's going to flood the social media platforms everywhere.
Now, you can put music to any. You can put music to scriptures.
You can put music to sermons. I'm going to put all of, I mean,
prophetess, Pastor Michelle, she's already started making her
own songs. You just go on AI and there you
go. Write the lyrics and there you
flow. It's time, church, this is our
moment. I'm telling you, this is super
exciting. God opens his doors.
Same message, but greater reach. And so that's what God wants to
do through your life, in your business, in your family,
through your story, through your sports, your training, where you
are, your gifts with a greater impact.
Grab this now. Grab it, take it, run with it.
These are the history. These are the history makers.
Maybe listen, it's just encouraging somebody at work or
or start that connect group. Do it.
This is our moment. Greater is coming, greater
works, greater things. It's coming through you.
Now let's step into a word that is rising in this house.
And it's favor. Can you say, I mean, somebody?
It's favour because many of us can point to moments where God
has protected us, where God has opened doors.
Yeah, God has promoted us, his open doors, different buildings,
venues, cinemas, villages, hotel.
God's open doors. We didn't even expect.
So favour. And I believe there is more.
OK, I hear God saying get ready for more, and it's like nothing
you've seen before. Oh, yeah.
Oh my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get ready for more. It's like nothing you've seen
before. So get ready, somebody, because
this is your time for greater. Tell your neighbor, say this is
your time for greater. This is your time for greater.
Now I want to read Exodus 34. I didn't put it up there, but
let me just read it to you. Then the Lord said verse 10,
before all your people, I will do wonders never before done in
any nation in all the world. Listen to this.
The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that
I, the Lord will do for you. Did you get that?
God says I will do awesome things that's not done before.
I will do awesome things that's not been done anywhere before.
Never before. Not in every nation, not
nations, not will. I'm doing awesome things that's
never been done. Awesome things.
It means astounding, breathtaking, remarkable,
overwhelming things. So God is saying I'm doing
awesome things that you have not seen before.
That's the creator. Remember, God is a creator.
He can create new systems. He can create anything he wants.
God is a creator and he's saying I'm going to do awesome things
that you have not seen before. No one, nobody.
Awesome, amazing, remarkable things.
You ain't seen nothing yet, baby, they said.
Is that South African song? It wasn't the carousel or
whatever. You ain't seen nothing yet, Dad.
That was the carousel. Sorry, Lindy Almarie, that just
came to my head now. Lindy Linden, do you remember
that one? Oh, did you?
Also, you hadn't seen nothing. Yet even yeah anyways.
Yeah, remarkable things. So God's like I'm going to do
things that you've not seen. Not a repeat yes, we thank God
for the right now bonky revivals.
We thank God we have seen there's been this is a street
revivals the Catherine Cummins. We have seen the world's
revival. We have seen the outbreaks of
revival and outpourings and we are thankful for that.
But what God is saying, what I'm going to do is going to be
bigger. It's going to be greater, it's
going to be more, it's going to be higher.
It's going to be bullions of souls.
I'm going to capture a generation in a twinkling of an
eye. We shall all be changed and be
called out for the law. Nothing is too difficult for oh
God, we haven't seen this test, we haven't we thank God I've
seen some well survival and I'm very inspired by them.
I thank God for what God has done in Wales and in Africa.
I see the millions. I've been in the crusade.
We've been there. We've see.
But God is saying what's coming next is going to be global.
It's going to be used. It's not going to be 1 pastor,
it's going to be global. Every believer, everyone will be
mobilized. Everybody will carry the greater
glory. Somebody shot Hallelujah.
I tell everybody to get this place.
I feel the outbreak of the glory of God.
It's going to be next level. It's not going to be like, oh, I
think I've seen it at my old church.
Oh, no, you haven't. And I've been, I've been in
revivals. Oh, I think we've seen the way
that people are going to be. No, you haven't seen the court
of glorious encounters that God is about to release.
It's going to be new. It's going to be brand new.
And I'm like, Lord, can you just give me a glimpse?
How are you going to do it? Can I have a dream tonight?
And you just show me how you're going to do it.
Lord, don't settle for average. Don't settle for just single
lady, single singles. If you're looking for a if
you're looking for a husband or a wife, don't just settle for
average. Don't just settle for OK or for
just OK Relax. Go for God's best that will
bring joy and purpose into your life.
When you get married, you get the right one.
Come on, I'm talking to people in this place.
The right relationships is so key to this end time global
awakening to have the right people.
I thank God God gave me the best.
Pastor Michelle is that I'll never forget when I walk into
the church and she was standing right there and she didn't wish
God said that's the best. I thank God for his grace.
I'm telling you, Yeah, take the best, the best connections, the
awesome ones. Watch out for the trap.
Psalm 78, the Bible says the Israelites, they limit the God
with the unbelief, grudges, groanings, negativity, set
limits. They doubt it.
Don't set limits through negativity, negative words, OK
Be a believer, not a doubter. Don't say oh, instead of saying
it will never happen, start saying God.
I believe you for awesome things.
I believe you for great relationships.
I believe you for great. I believe you to do awesome,
remarkable, amazing things. I believe you for that.
And so here's what happens when you get this in your spirit.
When you grab this, you start praying bigger and bolder praise
and you expect and you start seeing things happening like the
medical report changes, healing shows up in your life,
testimonies, favor doors starts opening up, things start
shifting in your life. It starts happening somebody.
OK, And so this ties in and I want to bring this to a close
with the glory path that God has got you on, OK?
And so from glory to glory, your path gets brighter and brighter.
And I want to close with our very powerful verse from the
Bible. There's our last and last verse
in the book of Habakkuk. Now watch this.
Oh my God, I feel that way. You
should give me a iPhone. Come on.
I feel the whole, the whole, the whole will be full of the glory
of God, not the demons and devils and evil in charge, God
in charge, the whole Jesus. We fall with the marriage of the
glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
Glory. Whoa, greater glory.
That's the big picture, Judge. It's the big picture.
It's a rising tide of glory. Now let me give you this picture
to carry it into this week. The rising tide of glory.
I remember when we left in the coast at the Exmouth.
First time I've ever lived at the coast.
We moved from South Africa and there we are at the coast.
Exmouth is beautiful. It's got this lovely Jurassic
coastline. And so after work, I would go
for walks and that beautiful shoreline and I would go for
these long walks. And for the first time ever I've
seen it like this because coming from South Africa, we lived in
the city. And so there I see on the, the,
the tides below and these ships, these boats, they sat heavy on
the side stuck. Look at these boats, they stuck,
they sat there and I'm like stranded and and these
structures, they sticking out stuck.
But then as I go for this long walk there on Exmouth, but we
lived there on the Marina, the tide hour by hour, the tide's
coming in and as the water's coming in, what would have been
stuck, all of a sudden it begins to move and begins to flunt.
And these boats, they begin to float as the water comes in.
And so that is what the Spirit of God is doing in your life.
The tide is coming in. It's coming in the water level.
And so hour by hour, as the water comes into your life, as
it's rising, He's raising the water line of His presence.
And as his increasing his presence in your life, what felt
stuck before, what felt difficult before, all of a
sudden it begins to move. And as the presence of God
rises, the water level rises in your life.
The tide is coming in. It's about to lift, and it's
coming loose and it's about to move.
And I'm here to tell you that the tide is coming in.
The tide is coming in the water tide, it's rising.
The tide is rising in your life. And what used to be stuck, what
used to be stuck in the mud, it's about to lift.
It's about to come alive. It's about to move.
It's about to shift. I was amazed when I saw again
that water, those boats, that one moment they stuck in the
sand, sat there heavy. All of a sudden they floated.
That's the picture that God gave me.
He said, tell my church I'm increasing my presence in your
lives. And as the water, as the
presence, the weighty praises, the glory of God is increasing
into your life. What used to be difficult, what
used to be stuck is going to start move.
It's going to move. It's going to it's going to come
alive. It's going to come alive.
Yes, that's what happens, church.
Things are lifting, things are moving again, breakthroughs are
coming, Blessings are moving towards your life.
It's happening. And the way that the glory of
God comes in the greater glory is not by how smart or our
talent or our giftings. It's not by might, not by power,
but it's by his spirits. It's the Spirit of the Lord.
Like the waters covers the sea, the Spirit of God comes and he
increases his presence. The greater glory is coming.
Come on, let's all stand together.
Hallelujah. I thank you, Jesus.
So church this morning, if you are hungry for greater glory, if
you are hungry for more of the presence of God, if you want
more, I want you to raise your hands.
If you say yes, I want more. I want more of the workings of
God in my life, a greater glory from glory to glory.
Right now, let's just raise our hands together and we let's make
room for the Lord, just for the presence, for the Holy Spirit to
move. And Lord, yes, we are making
room. Holy Spirit, we wait on you and
we lay down our old wineskins, our preferences, our prides.
We lay down our fear and we make room.
Pray this out loud with me. Say, Father, I release this
appointment delay. I let go of the old wineskin,
old patterns, old limits and I receive a new wines King, turn
my water into wine in Jesus mighty name.
Hallelujah. OK, now I want you to put your
hand on your heart, and I want you to receive this.
Pray, Holy Spirit full this house.
Let the water line of your presence increase, turn water
into wine in your people, and let the tide rise in your
people. And let Haggai's word be true,
that this present house will be full with your glory, and this
glory will be greater than the former.
I decree and declare that your latter will be greater.
Double honor, double blessing for your trouble.
Lord, turn water into wine. Make their lives sweet.
Oh Lord, right now turn into best wisdom, best strategies,
best ideas, creativity, relationship opportunities.
Take us, Lord, from glory to greater glory that draws people
to Jesus. Yes, come on, give God some
praise, give God some praise. Hallelujah.
Now repeat after me. Say I declare something new is
coming right now, is coming to my house, my health, my future.
I carry greater glory. I am going from glory to glory.
The tide is rising in my life. Say it again.
The tide is rising in my life. Now give it praise.
So right now, as the tide is rising, things begins to lift,
things begins to shift. Where there's bondage, it
breaks. Right now the tide is lifting,
the tide is rising. The presence of the Lord is
flooding your heart right now. In the name of Jesus, in the
name of Jesus, now pray in the Spirit and receive Robas
Sarahara, Kasola, Rogaba, receive the praises, receive the
anointing, receive in the name of Jesus, greater glory, greater
glory. Go out this week with peace.
Go out this week with greater glory, greater anointing base.
The base is yet to come and late testimonies break out this week.
And what said stuck is loosed in the name of Jesus.
Come on, worship team late worship place.
Praise God. Come on, let's praise again
that.
