Episode 242 - The Grave Can’t Praise God - Apostle Lehlogonolo Prince Seloise

The Grave Can't Praise God (The Story of King Hezekiah & Prophet Isaiah) The God Who Reverses Impossible Verdicts Scripture: 2 Kings 20:1–11 (NIV) King Hezekiah received one of the worst reports anyone could ever hear: "Put your house in order, because you are going to die." Yet his story reminds us that no situation is beyond God's power. Through prayer, faith, obedience, and God's mercy, a death sentence became a testimony of divine intervention. One of the first lessons we learn is that God desires every person to have their house in order. Life is uncertain, and wisdom is found in living ready before God. Rather than accepting the verdict, Hezekiah immediately turned his face to the wall and prayed. Instead of complaining to people, he took his burden to the One who had the power to change the outcome. As Isaiah 38 teaches, "the grave cannot praise You... the living, the living, they shall praise You." Hezekiah understood that his purpose on earth was not yet complete because only the living can continue to worship, testify, and glorify God. During his prayer, Hezekiah reminded God of his faithful walk. His confidence was not rooted in perfection but in a life that consistently pursued God. He had removed idols, restored true worship, cleansed the temple, obeyed God's commands, trusted the Lord in times of crisis, and led the nation back to God. A life of obedience gives confidence in the place of prayer. Before Isaiah had even left the palace, God answered. This teaches us that persistent prayer produces a word from the Lord. Every genuine encounter with God brings direction, answers, hope, and solutions. God declared that He had heard Hezekiah's prayer, seen his tears, would heal him, add fifteen years to his life, and protect Jerusalem from its enemies. God is attentive not only to our words but also to our tears. However, God's promise still required obedience. Isaiah instructed that a poultice of figs be applied to the boil, and Hezekiah recovered. The miracle happened when the prophetic instruction was acted upon. Many people receive prophetic words but fail to obey the instructions connected to them. Faith always expresses itself through action. Hezekiah also requested a sign, and God graciously provided one. This reminds us that God often confirms His promises in ways that strengthen our faith. When Isaiah asked whether the shadow should move forward or backward, Hezekiah chose the greater miracle. A shadow naturally moves forward with time, but moving backward required God to override the normal order of creation. The Lord answered Isaiah's prayer, and the shadow moved backward ten steps on the stairway of Ahaz. This extraordinary miracle demonstrated that God is sovereign over creation, faithful to His Word, and not limited by time or natural laws. The God who created the universe can intervene in it whenever He chooses. The message for us today is clear: God still overturns negative verdicts. He hears sincere prayer, responds to faith, honors obedience, confirms His promises, and is able to reverse situations that seem impossible. Just as He turned back the shadow for Hezekiah, He is able to restore lost time, reverse hopeless circumstances, and perform miracles that confirm His Word. The grave cannot praise God—but the living can. Therefore, while there is breath in your lungs, pray, worship, obey, and trust the Lord. The God who added years to Hezekiah's life is still able to reverse impossible verdicts and give His people a reason to praise Him.

Episode 241 - Let The People Know Their God - Pastor Rudzani Muriel Seloise

Podcast Summary: Let the People Know Their God It is possible to experience the blessings of God without truly knowing the God who gives them. Many people seek His hand, but few pursue His heart. Throughout Scripture, God has always desired a people who know Him personally—not just His works, but His character, His voice, and His ways. In this powerful message, Pastor Muriel reminds us that Christianity is more than believing in God; it is about knowing Him intimately. A genuine relationship with God produces confidence, faith, discernment, and unwavering trust, even in difficult seasons. When you know who God is, you are no longer shaken by circumstances because your confidence is anchored in His nature. Drawing from the story of Moses and the burning bush, we are challenged to move beyond being fascinated by what God does and to become captivated by who He is. Miracles, provision, healing, and breakthroughs are wonderful, but they should lead us into a deeper knowledge of the One behind them. This message will encourage you to pursue intimacy with God through His Word, prayer, worship, and daily fellowship. As you grow in knowing Him, your faith will become stronger, your purpose clearer, and your life transformed. Key Takeaways: * God desires to be known, not merely acknowledged. * Intimacy with God is the foundation of a strong Christian life. * Knowing God produces confidence, courage, and spiritual stability. * God's works should lead us to seek His person. * A deeper knowledge of God transforms the way we live, pray, worship, and serve. Key Scriptures: Daniel 11:32, Exodus 3:1–6, Jeremiah 9:23–24, Philippians 3:10.

Episode 240 - The Woman With The Issue of Blood - Apostle Lehlogonolo Prince Seloise

Podcast Summary: The Woman With The Issue of Blood – Faith That Draws Power For twelve long years, this woman lived in pain, disappointment, and isolation. She had spent everything she had on physicians, yet her condition only grew worse. Human solutions had failed, but heaven had not forgotten her. When she heard about Jesus, hope was born again. She refused to let the crowd, her condition, or the opinions of others stop her. She pressed through until she touched the hem of His garment, believing that one touch would change everything. Immediately, the flow of blood stopped. Jesus paused and declared that power had gone out from Him. While many were touching Jesus physically, only one person touched Him by faith. The crowd made contact with Jesus, but faith made a connection with His power. In this episode, we explore powerful lessons from this remarkable miracle: * Faith is born when you hear the Word concerning Jesus. * Your past disappointments do not disqualify you from God's miracle. * Desperation mixed with faith attracts divine intervention. * Faith is not passive—it presses through obstacles until it reaches Jesus. * There is a difference between being around Jesus and genuinely connecting with Him by faith. * Jesus responds to faith, not status, position, or popularity. * One encounter with Christ can accomplish what years of human effort could not. * God is able to restore what sickness, delay, and suffering have stolen. * Jesus not only heals the body but also restores dignity, peace, and identity. Whatever has lingered in your life for years is not beyond the reach of God's power. The same Jesus who stopped for one desperate woman still responds to faith today. As you listen, be encouraged to reach beyond your circumstances and lay hold of His promises, for your faith can still draw virtue from the Master. Key Scripture: Mark 5:21–34

Episode 239 - How To Activate The Blessing and Deactivate the Curse

Podcast Summary: How To Activate The Blessing and Deactivate the Curse   In this episode, we continued exploring practical, biblical principles for walking in God's blessing and shutting the door to every curse.   Practice Covenant Giving One of God's ordained ways of activating His blessing is through covenant giving. Scripture teaches that giving is not merely a financial transaction but an act of faith and obedience that positions us to experience God's covenant promises. Malachi 3:10-11 reveals that when we faithfully honour God with our tithes and offerings, He promises to open the windows of heaven, pour out abundant blessing, and rebuke the devourer on our behalf. Financial struggles do not have to be permanent. God has provided a covenant solution. Covenant giving breaks cycles of lack and positions believers to experience supernatural provision and preservation. Without God's blessing upon your labour, hard work alone cannot produce lasting change. You cannot outwork the curse. Haggai 1:6 paints the picture of people working tirelessly yet remaining unfulfilled because the blessing of God was absent from their lives. Jesus reinforced this covenant principle in Luke 6:38, teaching that generous giving results in generous receiving. Giving does not purchase God's blessing, but it positions us to walk in the realities of His covenant. A generous life attracts divine increase.   Speak the Blessing Over Your Life Continually The words we speak matter because they shape the direction of our lives. Proverbs 18:21 declares that death and life are in the power of the tongue, while Proverbs 11:11 reminds us that the blessing spoken by the upright has the power to transform even a city. As believers, we must never use our mouths to reinforce what Christ died to remove. Jesus redeemed us from the curse so that we could live under the blessing. Ephesians 1:3 declares that God has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ, and Acts 3:26 reveals that Jesus was sent to bless us by turning us away from sin. However, there is a vital principle: we must agree with God's Word. Amos 3:3 asks, "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" If God calls you blessed, your words should agree with His Word. Refuse to speak defeat, failure, lack, sickness, or hopelessness over your life. Continually declare what God has declared concerning you. The blessing becomes increasingly evident when your faith, your obedience, your generosity, and your confession are all in agreement with God's covenant promises.

Episode 238 - How To Deactivate The Curse - Apostle Lehlogonolo Prince Seloise

HOW TO DEACTIVATE THE CURSE | Breaking Evil Cycles and Activating the Blessing There are certain evil trends that must stop with us and never continue into the next generation. Through the finished work of Jesus Christ, every believer has been redeemed from the curse and brought into the blessing. Main Scriptures * Galatians 3:13-14 * Colossians 1:13   Introduction Curses are real and can affect families, health, finances, careers, businesses, relationships, and destinies. A curse is an authorisation for evil to operate, while a blessing is an authorisation for good to operate. The good news is that Jesus became a curse for us at Calvary so that we might inherit the blessing of Abraham. Through His death and resurrection, He broke the legal hold of every curse over the believer. But if Christ has redeemed us, why do many Christians still experience the effects of curses?   Why Curses Still Operate in Some Christians 1. Lack of Knowledge Hosea 4:6 Many believers are destroyed because they do not understand what Christ accomplished on the Cross. You cannot enjoy a freedom you do not know belongs to you. 2. Opening Doors Through Disobedience Proverbs 26:2 | John 14:30 Sin, rebellion, unforgiveness, occult involvement, and compromise provide legal ground for the enemy. Every curse requires a landing place. 3. Failure to Cooperate With the Blessing Numbers 23:8, 20 | Deuteronomy 23:5 God's blessing is His empowerment for increase, preservation, fruitfulness, and dominion. When the blessing is active, the curse loses its power.   How to Activate the Blessing and Deactivate the Curse 1. Separate Yourself from Evil Associations Psalm 1:1 Wrong company attracts wrong outcomes. The blessing flows through godly associations. 2. Put Your Trust in God, Not Men Jeremiah 17:5 Men are channels, but God is the Source. Dependence upon God activates the blessing. 3. Become a Student of God's Word Psalm 1:2 | Deuteronomy 28:1-2 | Luke 11:28 Every blessing is connected to divine instruction. As you hear and obey God's Word, His blessings will come upon you and overtake you. Christ has redeemed you from the curse. Every evil cycle ends with you. Walk in the blessing and live in the liberty that Jesus purchased for you.
