God is love, He loves me, He will not stop loving me.
In His love, I am more than conqueror. His love is my only strength.
Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:26
"For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes."
I am to do this until He comes, do often, I am proclaiming the Lord's death => Most powerful act
Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:2
"For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified."
Power and wisdom of God

The race is not to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor bread to the wise,
Nor riches to men of understanding,
Nor favor to men of skill;
But time and chance happen to them all."
We are people living in Ecc 9:11

=> Day and night
=> Top and bottom

All kinds of affliction
Picture of authority over power of darkness

It is beyond man's intellect/ disposing, not within man to put themselves at right time at right place
The one who win the race, not necessary to the fastest
The one who won the battle, not necessary the strongest (like David over Goliath)
Not the matter of favour goes to the one with skill, or riches to man of understanding but Time (eth) and qarah happen to me all

Within God's power to do it => God arranging right time right place
Acts 3:19 NASB
"Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;"

There will be time of refreshing (Kairos) because Jesus died on the cross for me
How to live in Kairos more and more? Next service
Right time right place (God's timing) => might inconvenience me but met someone in trial. Be grateful. People that God call me upon, I help to pray for them and God will reward me when I walk away after that, it is right time right place

Right place right time to help others, I will refresh
God orchestrated it. I ought to feel love
There is no small details with God, God knows the number of my hair (Luke 12:7)
In 2023, I will see my manifestations

Genesis 18:10
"And He said, “I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.”
Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him
The time of life

Believe God for something, haven't see manifestation, don't lose hope, don't faint, THIS IS MY KAIROS YEAR!
Genesis 18:14
"Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”
Is anything too hard for the Lord? = (in Hebrew) Is anything too wonderful for the Lord? Is there anything too miraculous for the Lord?
wonder in Hebrew is Pala. Jesus name is wonderful counsellor
God put things at the right time at the right place
The time (eth) of life

Kairos and manifestation
I am excited for this year!
Time of refreshing
Season, years, God set aside (Kairos moment)
Love story of Ruth => Picture of Christ and I
Ruth 2:2-4
2 So Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the field, and glean heads of grain after him in whose sight I may find favor.”
And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
3 Then she left, and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 Now behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “The Lord be with you!”
And they answered him, “The Lord bless you!”
Ruth (Moab - Jordan) under law/ under curse, became believer "Your God is my God"
Ruth believe God, she is a believer
Ruth went Betheham where Noami from
Naomi (jewish) went to Jordan because of famine
Ruth and Naomi came back poor
Stop looking like the world. Stop looking unto the world.
I GOT GOD!
God can give me eth and Kairos
The more I feel undeserved grace, the more I qualify for grace
I should not measure life by my accumulation of wealth. This year stop it!
Enjoy the true life! Stop postponing enjoying life more abundant that Jesus came to live. The abundant life that Jesus gave me. Right place right time.
Nothing is impossible with God
I need land, He will give
Ephesians 6:6-8
6 not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
7 with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men,
8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.
Don't be eye service pleasant, do it unto the Lord, from the Lord, I will receive the reward
Boaz sayid drop grains for her (Ruth)
She went by grace, she find grace. Ruth 2:10 " I shall find grace"
Grace => undeserved, unearned and unmerited favor
She believes in grace (looking to grace)
God gives me freely, I receive freely
The more undesired I am, the more I have grace
God can give me blessings more than enough to be blessings
God give me grace, but I tried to earn it => frustrates the grace of God
I am close to God, my good behaviour flows through that
Find what grace is
God look at Jesus to see Him as me
Pray as if I am Christ, my prayer is the same value and power as if Jesus is praying (Praying in the name)
I pray like I am Christ (as if I am praying it) => like represent Him/know His prayer like Jesus is praying
I don't need Holy Spirit to teach law, frustrate because use own effort
I John 3:2
Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
Believe, we are son of Christ. God look at Jesus to see Him as me
God have placed me in Christ Jesus
Ruth 2:4 "her hap was..."
"hap" => where I get happening/ happen
I am like Ruth, not Jewish, outside of Israel
Qarah => right happening (only God can give)
Qarah happens happen at right place at right time => this will happen to me
Qarah => happening that happen, happen at the right way
To redemption/ bring back
Happen happens not what I want is joyful => bankrupt Spirit when Jesus died on the cross
Death is not God's plan
Ruth is God-incident
I won't die if it is not my time because Ecc 9:11
Ruth 2:2 => hap
Ruth 2:3 => hap
2 hap in 1 verse (Qarah)
In 2023, I need to depend on God's grace because God loves me
God wants to do something special for me
"hap was too light" => happening
happy happening
God makes my hap hap, when my happening happen the way I want it to be happy, I am happy. God makes my hap hap
Joy is always in the midst of trial
My boss is not my resource. I prosper in my company to give testimony of the Lord
hap (noun) to light (verb)
grace and qarah => together
I can't work hard for it at right time right place
God does it, always with grace => Confess, believe it
declare: "This year I will find grace because I have grace in the eyes of God. I have favour in the eyes of man."
God wants me to learn a lesson of "I love you", He can delay for me, He can change things for me
Hear God, all just melt
I have favour in God and men
I am not above my master
Ruth confess grace and she at right time right place
Boaz is a picture of Jesus Christ
3 qualities of Redemption:
(1) Relative - Jesus came as man (men is lost)
(2) Wealthy - Jesus is wealthy
2 Corinthians 8:9 "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich."
(3) Willingness - Stretch His hands at the cross and say "He loves me"
Boaz (strength) => picture of Jesus Christ
Ruth => me
Short talk Ruth found favour in Boaz's eyes
Love storey of Ruth (Pastor Prince's book), it will bless me
Genesis 2:2 => Father's love of son
Genesis 24 => (Longest chapter) cross, story of Jesus and His Church (Body) after the cross, Holy Spirit (Abraham's servant), Jesus (Isaac)
Right happening => saving someone, helping someone
Holy Spirit => Glorify Jesus all the time (put to Jesus - Correct doctrine)
Not pursue wealth, not to have for my own
My blessings come from the Lord
Serve a good Spirit
My supply resources (not from man/company) => be testimony of God's glory
Whatever I do, the Lord is with me (Like Joseph's story, Potiphar)
Know of the Lord, I shall receive from the Lord, child of God doing things
Circumstance not what I want, feel frustrated, thinking I should have done this:
=> God melts and destroy all that, God spoke distinctly. All stress, all frustration will all melt away
He made crooked places straight, things may not be good, I believe that all things works together for my good.
Hebrews8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. "
Genesis 22 => God telling Abraham, the son that you love, bring him to sacrifice. Abraham said "God, I will give up my son, my only son, the son I love" (1st occurrence)
Genesis 24 (longest book in Genesis) => Send bride for his son, Isaac, Holy Spirit forming members (bride) to find our Isaac (Jesus), they keep talking about Isaac (Jesus). Holy Spirit keeps talking about Jesus
My camels are coming this year
No need to veil anymore, dismounted the camels. She fell off, Isaac was there to hold her. We see Jesus in rapture
Genesis 24:63-67
63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening; and he lifted his eyes and looked, and there, the camels werecoming.
64 Then Rebekah lifted her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she dismounted from her camel;
65 for she had said to the servant, “Who is this man walking in the field to meet us?”
The servant said, “It is my master.” So she took a veil and covered herself.
66 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
67 Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
All the love of His Son, greatest love of all
Right happening, only God can do it for me => Tsalach, prosper (about Christ/church)
Father's love for His son, He gave up His Son for me, Son of His bride
Tsalach Joshua 1:8
"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success."
Genesis 24:10-21
10 Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed, for all his master’s goods were in his hand. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
11 And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at evening time, the time when women go out to draw water.
12 Then he said, “O Lord God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
=> "Success" 1st occurrence (Qarah). Everywhere happen is success. God orchestrated events
Definition: He is praying for success, right happening. 1st qarah happens tie up with grace. "I shall find grace" happens to be at the field.
13 Behold, here I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
14 Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say, ‘Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink’—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”
15 And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, came out with her pitcher on her shoulder.
=> "Before he had finished speaking", beautiful (very beautiful) and nice character (amazing heart)
Trust God instead of own effort, trust God it will be very beautiful, trust God my deals, contracts and etc will be very beautiful
16 Now the young woman was very beautiful to behold, a virgin; no man had known her. And she went down to the well, filled her pitcher, and came up.
17 And the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher.”
18 So she said, “Drink, my lord.” Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand, and gave him a drink.
19 And when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.”
20 Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough, ran back to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
21 And the man, wondering at her, remained silent so as to know whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.
Trust grace of God more and more. I need to learn, not through my own effort, God won't want that
eg: like mother want to give you bread, you are still crying for bread. You cry instead of taking
When I take, I say thank you
Grace position "Father, I know You are so close"
Watch what I say because God is hearing real close
God says: "Tell Cat this year, even before Cat pray, it will happen!"
Isaiah 65:24
“It shall come to pass
That before they call, I will answer;
And while they are still speaking, I will hear."
Let qarah happens to me today, God will orchestrate before I pray, answer keep. This will happen in 2023. See it happen, give glory to God
Success Prosperity tied up together. Right happening, etc, kairos, qarah
Serendipity => an aptitude for making, desirable discoveries by accident, good fortune; luck
God makes serendipity happens to me, right place right time
I run into Jesus, all this fall into me => Serendipity
Divine serendipity (not looking for it) => good things happen
God can give me new medicine
God can create medicine
God can heal
God allows medicine to be discovered
God cares for man and love to create new medication
God arranged
May I find serendipity, kairos, qarah (Picture of Jesus, Genesis 24) right time right place this year
There is no qarah outside church, there is no success outside church. 1st occurrence of qarah
You can have profit, but it will have stress
Hebrews 10:25
"not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."
God says to me: "You are my beloved daughter, in you I am well pleased"
Put my trust in Him. Show kindness and show grace all in church
I am in for a great year, fasten my Spiritual seat belt, I am in for an excited ride, a favourable ride, expeditious ride. Every ride is to be enjoy
*Abraham says: "God before whom I walk, will send His angels to prosper my way"
"before" => Panim
I walk in the presence of God (Panim; face of God)
I live as if I see God smiling on me all the time
If I live life like this through this year 2023, I will see the manifestation of this blessings and favours in my life. Amen!
I walk in the light go His shining face on me
"The Lord makes His face to shine on me"
Pray but don't pray like Jesus is so far away, pray softly say "Father", know that I am very close with Him. watch what I say because everything I say He is hearing and He will answer. I have very close access to the one with whom nothing is impossible!
Thank you Jesus!
Amen!
