I was at home and God told me that there are many of you here tonight wanting to bear fruit.
20 “Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast. 21 Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus. 23 But Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. 24 Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. 25 He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor. 27 “Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.” John 12:20-28
It is imperative that we prepare for the multiplication. This subject comes due to the prophetic word our spiritual father shared with the youth:
God said: I am sitting on my throne and I’m laughing at the enemy, he said that we was going to destroy this generation. But God said I laugh, this is the generation of warriors that will change generations. Many of you prayed before you came and said to the Lord speak to me tonight because I will make a decision to serve you for the rest of my life. So many people have said it but I have said I will raise generals, teachers, pastors, prophets and I will raise people that will touch cities.
Andy and Frank prepare for the multiplication, before this year ends, you will have double, it will be like a normal Sunday service and the Holy Spirit says to you, be ready son and daughter, raise your hands, I said it in the past, if u humble yourself my power and grace will raise you!
What the Lord has done
We were 500 young adults in the services in the beginning of the year in January and so far we’ve been having 800 plus in attendance. Before this year ends, we will be double that amount. Understand that when you receive a word, you need to be obedient to it and this word will change your life tonight.
Overview from last week…
The hour came for the son to be glorified. In order to bear fruit you need to receive the word. It’s not just enough to receive it but you need to let it work in you. Sometimes it’s going to hurt and you’ll wish you never got it because it’s going to point things out in your life. Allow it to work in you. Persevere in the word. Now it’s time to learn how to prepare for the multiplication
The word says…
Unless the grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies then it will bear fruit. So how do we prepare for the multiplication? We must die. You now wonder, how are you going to talk to me about death when I’m getting ready to multiply? It’s simple. To get to where you need to go you must first die.
What’s all this death talk?
23 “But Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.” John 12:23
If you want to be your best you need to get to your worst in life. You must first fall to the ground and die. Want to be somebody in life? Get ready to die. What must I die to? Your ego, pride, own sufficiency, to the thought that you can make it on your own. You must first die before you multiply. You will never be your best in life until you hit the bottom. You will never fly high until you humble yourself.
Still want to be great?
You want to be great in life? Die to the desire of looking good. Die to the pride that says you got it in your own strength. Die to the desire to shine and be recognized. When you die you will multiply. Unless a seed falls to the ground and dies will it then bear fruit. Nowadays everyone wants to be acknowledged and be on TV and be famous but you must first die.
What about the prophetic word? What happens to it?
How can I die if I’m concerned with the prophetic word? Your ego must die because you will take the glory when it doesn’t belong to you. You will want to take the credit for everything and not give it to God. The word will come to pass if you die to yourself.
Still on death…
While meditating on death, what do we do before we die? What is it that people do before they die? God told me He wants me to write my testament, a will. You need to write your will before you die.
Online, I found the 5 reasons why people write a will:
- To create a plan so their children can be taken care of
- So assets can be used by the beneficiaries
- To minimize state taxes
- Help peace to enter when they’re gone
- Responsible and mature thing to do
Why did God tell me about a will? Because it means you’re ready to give Him everything you got! God wants your money, your talents, your intellect and your degrees; He wants everything you have.
When can God double everything I have?
If god is going to double your finances or business, you need to make sure you’re dead to the praises of men. When they give you a compliment, make sure your head is not going to get big and you’re going to think it was because of your intelligence. A dead man doesn’t answer back. We must be dead to criticism, be dead to the people’s praise and compliments that you’re a great man. Then you might think that you did it yourself but you must die to all that! When your worldly friends criticize you it won’t hurt because you’re dead to all that. Understand that on your own you will not get to the corner, without God you are lost.
If you want to win it all you have to give it all. You can’t gamble just a little bit, you have to put it all!
Living in the Kingdom of God
25 “He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” John 12:25
Suque life – fleshy life, soul, food, sleep, drinks, sex, fame,
Zoe – eternal life
If you want to live in the Kingdom of God, you must die to be a superstar. Die to be in the spotlight. He who loves his Suque will lose it, but he who dies to it will gain Zoe life. Every time you sacrifice something for God, it feels good because it’s not you who did it. How will that word come to pass? By dying to what you want. Are you ready to die to it? First die to your own flesh, desires, and your own ambitions so that He can live in you.
What to do?
- die to yourself
- hate your life
God will not deliver you from drugs if you still like them. He will not deliver you from your gossiping tongue if you still enjoy it. He will not deliver you from unforgiveness if you enjoy the feeling of wanting to kill that person or from sex if you still like it.
Die to thinking you know it all, to wanting to be the best. God cannot revive something unless it’s dead. You want a revival in your life? Then make sure you’re dead.
To be glorified not to die
27 “Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour.” John 12:27
There can’t be glory unless there is death. Now, the Son of God had to be glorified and His hour came to die. It didn’t say it was His hour to die but for Him to be glorified. You want glory? By this time you should know the answer to that. “For this hour I was born,” Jesus said. He said “It’s my time to die; I was born for such a time as this.”
When it was my time
The time I saw God lifting me up was when I saw death all over me. I was 18 when I began to serve Him; I gave Him all the years of my twenties. I went up to people that spoke behind my back and hugged them. I had chosen to die. The times when I died the most is when God took me the highest. People want glory but don’t want to pay the price. You want God to use you? Fast for 10 days. You want a job? Fast for 3 days.
For 2 months my elders and I have not touched a piece of meat until we get 1000 young adults in attendance in our services. People leave church because they got corrected; die to it. Only a dead man can live the life that Jesus has to offer in abundance. Paul said it is no longer me who lives but Christ in me. There have been many times that you’ve wanted to give up but don’t let if affect you because you’re dead.
Bind that discouragement
Don’t you think I’ve been discouraged and hurt? But that won’t affect me! I’m a real fighter. The ones that touch my life are the people that after 3 years are still there. You will get bit on the head like a rooster but still continue to fight. Die to multiply. Die to bear much fruit to fulfill and accomplish what God has for you. A real warrior doesn’t give up easily. Before the year ends we want to get to 1000 young adults. I want to see you bearing fruit in your Houses of Peace and Discipleships. God is tired of lip service, saying you love Him and want to serve Him but it’s all just talk. God wants you to be sold out for Him. Bearing fruit is a sign of gratefulness. Why do you see so many people serving? Because we’re all grateful that God gave us another chance.
Cry out to him that you want to bear fruit and want to change! He will never fail you!
