The Power of Motive: Aligning Your Heart with God’s Purpose

The Power of Motive: Aligning Your Heart with God’s Purpose

Today we learn that purpose can only be fulfilled when our motives are aligned with the heart of God. Drawing from 1 Chronicles 28:9 and Deuteronomy 28:1–14, he explains that God searches every heart, understands the reason behind every thought and promises success to those who obey Him wholeheartedly. When our motives are right, God blesses the work of our hands, grants victory over opposition and positions us to become the head and not the tail. Apostle Alfred warns that even a seemingly good plan can be frustrated when its motive is wrong, as seen in the building of the Tower of Babel. Motive gives birth to thoughts, thoughts develop into imagination, and imagination eventually produces action. Believers must therefore examine their hearts, cast down every thought that contradicts God’s Word and bring their minds into obedience to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5).

Called to Revelation

Apostle Alfred Williams declares that God is looking for men and women who can become custodians of divine revelation. Drawing from Revelation 1:1 and John 16:13–15, he teaches that what belongs to the Father is entrusted to Jesus Christ and made known to believers through the Holy Spirit. Revelation is therefore not reserved for ministers or a select few—it is the inheritance of every person who has received Christ and committed themselves to serving Him. Through the lives of Samuel, Jeremiah and Moses, Apostle shows that neither youth nor old age prevents anyone from hearing God (1 Samuel 3; Jeremiah 1:4–10; Exodus 3:1–4). The key is to become a genuine seeker of God—remaining close to His presence, surrendering your will and keeping your mind continually fixed upon Him. This sermon is a call to replace anxiety and confusion with intimacy: seek Jesus wholeheartedly, listen for the Holy Spirit and expect God to reveal your purpose, direction and the things yet to come.

Clean Hands, Pure Heart & Prophesying

In this sermon we learn that revelation and authority flow from a life aligned with God’s Word. Drawing from Psalm 51, Psalm 24 and John 1:1, Apostle reminds believers that Scripture is not for recitation alone, but a spiritual weapon when spoken from a clean heart, pure hands and genuine relationship with God. He challenges the church to examine motives, reject pride and argument, and pursue the kind of holiness that allows believers to ascend “the hill of the Lord” and speak with heaven’s authority. Apostle then turns to Revelation 4 and Ezekiel 37, showing that God still opens the eyes of His people and brings them into the realm of revelation. Through Ezekiel’s encounter with the valley of dry bones, he teaches that no situation is beyond the power of God—but believers must speak as commanded, call the condition by name, and prophesy the Word of the Lord over it. This sermon is a call to clean living, spiritual boldness and prophetic obedience: rise above fear, speak God’s Word from your spirit, and watch heaven breathe life into what looked impossible.

Revelation, Vision & the Call to Seek God

Apostle Alfred Williams continues teaching on the Month of Revelation, urging believers to focus on Jesus and not be distracted by fear-driven messages about the Antichrist. Focussing on Daniel chapter 10, he explains that revelation and vision are distinct but connected: revelation may show what God is saying, while vision can bring the understanding. Like Daniel, believers must learn to seek God through prayer, fasting, humility and spiritual seriousness until divine insight is released. We then turn to John the Revelator, showing how John’s suffering, endurance and devotion positioned him to receive the Revelation of Jesus Christ while on the island of Patmos (Revelation 1:9; 4:1–2). Apostle reminds the church that revelation is given by the Holy Spirit, and that believers can receive spiritual gifts through prophetic impartation, the laying on of hands, and earnest prayer (1 Corinthians 12:11; Acts 8:14–17; Luke 11:9–13).

The Month of Revelation

Apostle welcomes the church into July 2026 as the Month of Revelation, reminding believers that revelation is not reserved for a select few, but is the right of every child of God. Referencing Revelation 1:1–3, he explains that God gave revelation to Jesus Christ to show His servants what must take place, and that the Holy Spirit makes known what belongs to Christ (John 16:12–15). The call is clear: believers must not live blind, confused or unaware, because the same Spirit who worked through Jesus now lives in those who are born again. Apostle then teaches that revelation opens when believers worship sincerely, pray deeply, seek God wholeheartedly and respond seriously to Gpd's Word. Referencing John 5:19, Luke 4, Revelation 4:1–2 and Daniel 10, he shows how Jesus saw what the Father was doing, John was caught up into heavenly revelation, and Daniel received understanding through fasting, prayer and humility. This sermon is a call to spiritual hunger: stop treating revelation as distant or mysterious, and begin to seek God until your eyes are opened—because in this season, heaven is ready to show you what must take place, and the Holy Spirit is ready to guide you into all truth.
