The Power of the Word

Experience the Power of the Word. By Apostle Paul Naughton. Hosted by Pastors M & A Mugwagwa.

God heals what has been ruptured, broken and damaged. The Lord works in ways we may not fully understand, but His power and faithfulness remain certain. Anxiety is broken and healed when we surrender our burdens to God. We are earthen vessels carrying the priceless treasure of Christ within us.

2 Corinthians 4:7 reminds us that we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. The fire of God upon our Pastor is producing lasting fruit and transformation. When I saw this fire upon your Pastor I knew he is something special, and I had to come see the ministry he is coming from. I must say I am not disappointed.

A farmer does not constantly inspect the seed; he waits patiently for the fruit. In the same way, God brings growth in His timing. The evidence of a healthy ministry is the fruit it produces. We must keep the fire of God burning continually.

Through the ministry of Apostle Paul, God has raised leaders, including three national presidents, dignitaries and royalty. God is raising extraordinary people for His Kingdom. The ministry led by Apostle Paul has been a catalyst for revival in three nations, including among the Maasai people of Kenya.

Prayer: Lord, thank You for the power of Your Word. Heal every broken area of our lives, remove anxiety, keep Your fire burning within us, and make us fruitful vessels for Your glory. Raise us to impact our generation and be catalysts for revival wherever You send us. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

In Talek, among the Maasai people, five prophecies were fulfilled within six months. What began as three churches grew to eight churches after a prophetic word, and eventually expanded to one hundred and sixty-five churches. A prophecy was given concerning a dancer who had no passport and little formal education. God opened doors supernaturally, and what seemed impossible became possible.

A Bishop called for him and invited him to preach. The process of obtaining a passport was accelerated by God's favour, and in three months he was in Ghana to preach. Ask yourself: where is this oil taking me? To work for God, where am I headed?

Through God's grace, he was elevated from humble beginnings into leadership and influence. He later became a senior church leader. God is able to raise people from ordinary positions and place them in extraordinary assignments. Despite challenges faced by the Maasai community, God raised a voice to represent and advocate for the people. The call of God upon his life led him into a position of leadership and representation in Parliament.

God's Word never fails: what He speaks, He brings to pass. Prophecy reveals God's purpose and direction. God qualifies those He calls. Promotion comes from the Lord. Faithfulness in small things prepares us for greater responsibilities.

The power of God's Word can transform an individual's life, a community, and even a nation. Education is valuable, but God's purpose and calling can take a person beyond what seems naturally possible.

A testimony was shared of someone who progressed from university studies and a Master's degree in Politics into significant influence and leadership. You only need a few people to like you. God can use strategic relationships to open doors and fulfill His purpose.

God desires to elevate His people into positions where they can impact society and nations. In the realm of the anointing, all things are possible through God's power.

A revelation was shared concerning sound waves and healing, demonstrating how God can release ideas, wisdom and innovation through dreams and divine inspiration. Do not allow yourself to be confined by human narratives, limitations or expectations. Continue learning and pursuing education while remaining open to God's direction.

Jeremiah 8:7 reminds us of the importance of understanding times and seasons. Life consists of different seasons, each with its own purpose and lessons. Some seasons involve building, digging foundations and laying stones for future success. Learn to recognise, understand and embrace the season God has placed you in.

Wisdom comes from discerning the times and responding appropriately. Enjoy the season you are in while trusting God for what is ahead. God's plans are greater than human limitations. Divine elevation comes through obedience and faithfulness. The anointing enables what natural ability alone cannot achieve.

Every season has a purpose; do not despise seasons of preparation. Understanding God's timing is essential for spiritual growth and fruitfulness. God's Word gives direction, wisdom and hope for every stage of life.

Jeremiah 40:1–3: even the Babylonians know — the world knows you carry anointing. They know the power you carry. There is a witness that goes out from us. The world knows you have a different spirit, but they will not admit they know.

At the outset and beginning you look stupid to the world. You could be shopping, gardening or having family time, but you come to church on Saturdays. That is special; do not take it for granted. The world is marked by tax rises, loans and inflation bills. But the Kingdom of God goes from glory to glory, grace to grace, and faith to faith.

A favourite saying of the Apostle is: if it is recorded, it is rewarded. Jesus said, I am coming, but My reward is coming with Me. In the natural, tithe does not make sense when looking at expenses. But by the grace of God, tithe and see what God will do. You can do more with ninety percent after tithe than with one hundred and ten percent without the blessing of the Father.

Jonah 1:6. How many in your office will call you mad? Rather be called mad for the sake of the Gospel. Do not be ashamed of Jesus. They labelled the Apostle a God-botherer; it is better to bother God. For the Word says give God no rest. Press in and do not be ashamed.

The Apostle testified that at his workplace fifty-five people were laid off; he was the only one promoted after a massive retrenchment. Remember, we look a fool until God does. Until Jesus raised Lazarus, the situation was a laughing stock. Your boss gives you weird shifts because of what you carry. The workplace is darkness, which is why you need to tithe, because much could go wrong. Your tithe guards you against that.

An anaesthetist on an almost two hundred and fifty-three thousand salary range almost had something go wrong, but because she is attached to the house of God, she came and testified and the Apostle was praying for her at the time. Call upon God. Do not ever be ashamed of the Gospel. You can be the salvation of your school and ministry.

Travail so that we prevail. Double anointing oil flowing. Anointing for greatness. Where is it going to take us? Where will the oil take you? The anointing opens doors into leadership, royalty and diplomacy. God is the Judge. I am so glad He does. God does.

The walls will be speaking to you, reminding you of your situation. What will you speak back to them? Jesus should reign. What are you going to speak back to your situation that wants to discourage you? Isaiah 58: you delight yourself in the Lord. You might have no bus fare, no fuel, no business; your four walls will remind you. What will you say to them?

The Apostle, facing a tough time, travelled in the Spirit, encouraging himself in the Lord, and saw himself in planes preaching the Word around the world. In a time of despair, delight yourself in the Lord and travel in the Spirit, and believe. If big people like Elon can do it, why not me? Do not limit yourself. Do not limit your imagination.

A businessman who is ninety-three years old sat with his business partner who is ninety. When asked what occupies his mind, his reply was, To be ninety again. Big people dream of big things. With the God we serve, you can do more and bigger things. He can expand our capacity. Thank You, Jesus.

Prayer for the man of God, Pastor Mathew and Pastor Agnes, and those joined to this ministry and joined to the Pastor in corporate prayer. After the massive prayer and mighty move of God with His breath over the group, the Apostle prayed for the whole church in unison. Many prophetic words were given and prayers for children were made.

Life Portal International Church graduated today in a massive way. Glory be to Jesus. Congratulations our Pastors. Congratulations Life Portal.
