2025-03-02_Sunday 2nd Service. The Lord's Uncommon Justice. By PBC Senior Pastor, Rev. Ambrose Nyangao, EBS

In this riveting episode, we delve into the theme of "uncommon justice," exploring how faith can inspire steadfastness in our pursuit of fairness. Drawing from the biblical narrative of a relentless widow who sought justice from an unjust judge, we unpack valuable lessons on persistence, faith, and divine intervention. Through a series of poignant discussions and uplifting personal testimonies, we invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences with injustice and the role of faith in overcoming adversity. 

As we immerse ourselves in the stories of those who have faced injustice, we emphasize the significance of persistent prayer, urging listeners to articulate their needs clearly to God and trust in His righteous nature. This conversation is not only about seeking justice but understanding the powerful impact of faith, reminding us that while the world may seem unfair, divine justice is always within reach. Join us in exploring how uncommon justice manifests in our lives through faith, and consider the transformative power of testimony. Don't forget to share your insights and experiences with us, as we march together into a brighter future filled with hope and justice!

Speaker 1: 0:00

This month we are talking about uncommon justice. This is the story of a widow who needed justice, so I read. Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said in a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with a plea grant me justice against my adversary. For some time he refused, but finally he said to himself even though I don't fear God or care what people think, yet, because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually come and attack me. And the Lord said listen to what the unjust judge said, and will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice. He will see that they get justice. He will see that they get justice. He will see that they get justice, and how Quickly. However, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on the earth? This is the question we must remember. This is God's reading, and God's people say please we may be seated, as we must remember this is God's reading and God's people say Amen. Please we may be seated as we pray. Briefly, father, this is your servant, pastor Ambrose, as he now decrees and declares your word. Break it down for us. Holy Spirit, minister to our hearts, minister to our minds, minister to our situations and circumstances. Those in-house pavilion watching online. Minister to our minds, minister to our situations and circumstances, those in house pavilion watching online, may the Holy Spirit just move in your very special situations and circumstances and cause you to rejoice because something good is coming your way. Thank you, father, for hearing our prayer in Jesus name. We have prayed this month. We are talking about uncommon justice. For some of you who are visiting with us, our theme for the year is the year of the Lord's uncommon, spirit-led impartation. So this year we want to be spirit-led and spirit-led and spirit-led and spirit-led and spirit-led and spirit-led and spirit-led and spirit-led and spirit-led and spirit-led and spirit-led and spirit-led and spirit-led and spirit-led and spirit-led and spirit-led. Last month we talked about Zoe life Zoe life or eternal life. This month we are talking about uncommon justice, but uncommon justice that is spirit-led Amen. We're talking about the spirit life, the spirit, life. That word life, l-i-f-e talks about the spirit. So L-I-F-E spirit-led, spirit-inspired, spirit-filled, spirit-empowered. May that help you to understand what the spirit can do when he releases his life in your life. Amen.

Speaker 1: 3:11

We're talking about justice and as we talk about justice, we're talking about injustices. There are many injustices that are done to us just being human beings. As long as you're a human being, you'll experience injustices. We live in a fallen world. We live in a world that does not care. We live in a world that seeks its own. We live in a world that will even steal the little that you have. We live in a world of injustice Injustice in marriage, injustice in parenting, injustice at your workplace, injustice on the road, injustices everywhere.

Speaker 1: 4:04

But I want you to know that God is a God of justice. Let me read one or two verses and I'll come back to this lady who needed justice Isaiah 30, verse 18. Reminds us that God is a God of justice. So let me just read that for us Isaiah 30, verse 18. Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you. Therefore, he will rise up to show you compassion, for the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him. God is a God of justice.

Speaker 1: 4:42

Psalms 50, verse 6 says this. Psalms 50, verse 6 says this. Psalms 50, verse 6. And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for he is a God of justice. Another verse is Deuteronomy 32, verse 4. God is a God of justice. The Bible says he is the rock. His works are perfect and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong. Upright and just is he. This is the God we are talking about, a God of justice. And God gives us examples of injustices in the Bible and how he brought justice into those situations. Of course, the first one. He talks about this lady who needed justice from a judge who didn't care. Woe unto you if your case lands on a judge who doesn't care. Woe unto you if your case lands on a judge who doesn't care, and sometimes that judge will just take you years and years and years. But this lady had a very different perspective in her life. Jesus used her to explain what it means to pray without ceasing and say let me show you somebody who prayed, because you see, god is a God of justice. He wants to give you justice. He will not stick there and just wait and wait and wait and wait until you convince him. God is not waiting to be convinced. God is a God of justice. There's another lady and I'll come back to this lady, but I want to go to another lady in 2 Kings 8, who needed justice. The Bible says in that verse, verse 1, now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life go away with your family and stay for a while wherever you can, because the Lord has decreed a famine in the land. That will last how long? Seven years. The woman proceeded to do as the man of God said. She and her family went away and stayed in the land of the Philistines for seven years. At the end of the seven years she came back from the land of the Philistines and went to appeal To who? To the king. For what? Her house and land, the injustices of real estate and land, those issues. Now she has been away for how long? Seven years? Somebody issues. Now she has been away for how long? Seven years? Somebody for how long? Seven years? And the guy is saying I don't know you and if you want to take me to court, go ahead. So the lady goes to the king. The Bible says something happening was very interesting. The king was talking. There was a conversation. The, the lady, goes to the king. The Bible says something happening was very interesting. The king was talking. There was a conversation. The king was talking to Gehazi. Now, who was Gehazi? The servant of Elisha, the servant of the man of God, and had said they were talking and he was sharing a testimony. Tell me about all the great things Elisha has done. Just as Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha had restored the dead to life, the woman, the woman whose son Elisha had brought back to life, came to appeal to the king for her house and land and Gehazi said hey, this is the woman, my lord, the king, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life. The king asked the woman about it and she told him. Then the king assigned an official to her case and said to him to her case and say to him give back everything that belonged to her, including all the income from her land from the day she left the country until now. That is called uncommon justice. I pray in the month of March you are going to experience uncommon justice. I'm saying this month of March, the month we are marching into Hallelujah, you are going to experience uncommon justice. You know, sometimes you can really get frustrated by people, and David from time to time would get really frustrated and some of the prayers he prayed were not very good prayers, hello, because sometimes you can be so oppressed you start praying very bad prayers for people. There are some churches which actually practice services where they curse people. So they curse this one, they curse this one, and the pastor is leading everybody and they're all saying Amen, amen. Now look at this prayer. God is still a God of justice. But this is how David articulates that prayer Psalms 35. The Bible says this Psalms 35. And I will not read all of it, Because this is David talking. He says Contend Lord with those who contend with me. You can hear some people already saying amen. Those are people who are being oppressed right now. They're just saying my friend, they're saying Ambrose, thank you for sharing that scripture. That's the verse I've been looking for. Contend Lord with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me. Take up shield and armor, arise and come to my aid. Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to me I am your salvation. May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame. May those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay. May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the Lord driving them away. May their path be dark and slippery. I mean they cannot run very far, with the angel of the Lord pursuing them, since they hid their net for me without cause, and without cause they dug a pit for me. May ruin overtake them by surprise. May the net they hid entangle them. May they fall into the pits to their ruin. Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord and delight in His salvation. Look at the next verse. My whole being will exclaim Mungu Ninani, can you look at that verse? Who is like the Lord? Look at the next verse. You rescue the poor from those too strong for them. The poor are needy from those who rob them. Ruthless witnesses come forward. They question me on things I know nothing about. They repay me evil for good and leave me like one bereaved. Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting. When my prayers returned to me unanswered, I went about mourning as though for my friend or brother. I bowed my head in grief, as though weeping for my mother. But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee. Asylants gathered against me without my knowledge. They slandered me without ceasing. You can read the rest of that. And David would feel like that. And sometimes, when things go south for you and people are just oppressing you, they're doing things that you want to pray prayers like that one. So today I want to say, please don't pray prayers like that one. That was an Old Testament prayer. Let me give you a New Testament method. The Bible says in Romans, chapter, verse 14. This is a good verse. It says this Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse. Why are you quiet? Rejoice with those who rejoice. Mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible Now that's what he says if it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone, because for some people it is just difficult, and especially when they are family members, because they stay with you. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written, it is mine to avenge, I will repay, says the Lord. If, on the contrary, if your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he's thirsty, give him something to drink. Somebody says, yes, I will, but I'll put poison in it. In doing this, you'll heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with what, with good. So this is the New Testament way. So don't rush. Yeah, come on, let's give God a big hand. This is what the redeemed of the Lord should do. But today I'm not so much on this. I want to talk to you and say God is a God of justice. He will give you justice. And so three things that I want to just elaborate for us in a few minutes are these? Number one, the first one is the place of uncommon justice. Number two, the blessing of uncommon justice. And number three, the acceleration of uncommon justice. I want to repeat again the place, the blessing, the acceleration of uncommon justice. And I want to start with the place of uncommon justice. There is a place. The widow in Luke, chapter 18, went to a judge, and an unjust judge, and she had it very difficult, but the widow in the time of Elisha went to the king, and the king, the highest authority. The king gave her justice. And I want to say this that the best place to go for justice when everything else has failed, even before you start anything, go to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. The Bible says call unto me and I will answer you. I will tell you great and hidden things that you do not know. Let God be the judge. Let God give you justice. You know, many times we deal with God because he's our father, and so we have been preached many times God is your father. He's your father. You are his children. God is your father. You're a son, you're a daughter. God is your father. God is your father. You are a son, you are a daughter. God is your father. God is your father. But let me tell you this when it comes to matters of seeking justice, do not go to God as a father. Let me repeat that again Do not go to God as a father. Take an illustration Somebody has a father and the father happens to be a judge. Somebody has a father and the father happens to be a judge, a high court judge, and so this son, something happens, some injustice happens to him, and his case is brought before his father in court. And so he goes to that court and he sees his father sitting on the bench and he's so excited the father is there. And so he stands up and he says dad, now, number one, he cannot call his father dad in the courtroom. The father is not his father in the courtroom. The father is not sitting in the sitting room. The father is in the courthouse. That's a different place. You will not find love in the courthouse. Hallelujah, no love. And yet that's your father. Your father will not stand at the bench and say oh son, I'm glad you came and I'm glad I'm your judge. This case is dismissed. The father cannot do that. Are you listening to me? And so many times we come to God and say God, I need justice. But God, you're my father, handle this case for me Now you need to change tactics, because the Bible says many times we pray amiss. You need to change tactics because the Bible says many times we pray amiss. We pray without knowledge, we pray without understanding. We are approaching God in a different way. Don't see God as a father when you go to court. See God as your judge, and he's a God of justice. And so this lady goes to the king and he says king, this is what happened, but thank God, somebody was in there helping him and giving a testimony about her. And I want you to know that God will go ahead of you in matters of justice. This month of March, there will be uncommon justice coming your way I'm saying this month of March and common justice is coming your way. There are some people in your family who are in prison for things they did not do. Don't be surprised when they come out of jail this month in the name of Jesus Christ, because I serve that kind of God. He's an awesome God, he's a God of justice, hallelujah. And so the place where you go is important. And you go to the courthouse, and in the courthouse there are protocols. You need to know how to handle things there. You need an advocate, thank God. The Bible says Jesus is our advocate Before the Father and he will speak on our behalf, hallelujah. I remember one time I was going to KBC to preach, and so when I finished preaching I had parked my car just next to the KBC when I preached and left. Thank you, jesus. Where I had parked just near Longanot House. There, where I had parked just near Longanot house. There, where I had parked, another car was parked. I was so disoriented. I looked for the car under this other car, just realized the car had been towed. I went to Upper Hill the traffic police to get my car. When I reached there I saw the car in the parking lot. I said hallelujah, god has answered my prayer. Then I go to the police officer there and I tell him, excuse me, I have come to pick my car, and they said which car? I told them the registration number and said, oh, that car. That car was towed here and I said, yeah, I've come to pick it. They say you're not picking it. In fact, tomorrow you're supposed to go to court and answer why you parked illegally in town. Suddenly I was under issues of justice and I got very confused. I didn't know what to do because my car is there In my heart. I did not do anything wrong. I found a parking space and there was no car there. Hello, and I parked. But I had illegally parked. So I got trouble. I said what do I do? And I said I'm not going to court alone. So I went and looked for one of our elders here, dr John Gishane. I said John, you need to go with me to court. And he said sure, I'll go, you're my pastor, I'll go with you. So we went to him to court the next day. So when we arrived in court and then the judge came in, the amazing thing is this John Gishane knows the judge and so, before they could even deal with my issue, they started talking and just exchanging pleasantries and just saying, hey, how have you been? You've been fine. Yes, yes, yes. And while you were talking like this, he said, by the way, your honor or your Lord, whatever, this is my pastor, hallelujah. Do you know? I never spoke. He spoke for me. Let me tell you this there are times you don't need to speak. Let Jesus speak for you. Let Jesus speak for you. And he spoke for me. He spoke for me. And then the judge. When they finished talking, the judge just asked me is this your first offense? I said yes, sir. He said, okay, it's your first offense. Did they ask you to pay for bail and things like that, cash bail? I said yes. So he wrote a small note and said this being your first offense. In my head I had him saying you're forgiven, but I don't think he said I'm forgiven. Whatever language he used for me, I was forgiven. He gave me a small paper to go back to the traffic and to get my car and for them to refund my money. I went to that police station traffic police station With my head held high, with a note with me. There was a note, my friend, in this life, when you walk through life, walk with the Bible, walk with the hand of God and say there's no condemnation in me, there's no condemnation, god has forgiven me. And let me tell you this this salvation that you have was an issue of justice. And that justice, the Bible says the wages of sin is death and therefore there was no escape. Somebody had to die. The wages of sin is death, somebody had to die. Either you die or somebody else dies. For our case, jesus died. When Jesus died at the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light and the burden of my heart rolled away, it was there. By faith, I received my sight. Let me tell you this that cross is a place of justice. It is a place where your sins are forgiven and you are told you are no longer under condemnation, you're free to go. And I went to that police station. The traffic police got my car, drove home and told myself next time I go to town I must be sure where I park. Let me tell you this the place you go for justice is a very important place. It is a throne. The Bible says come, therefore, to the throne of grace that you may obtain mercy and find grace in time of need. And your advocate is Jesus Christ. And that's why the Bible says when you pray to God, pray in the name of Jesus. That name will speak for you. That name will do what Speak for you. Don't be afraid. Your case may be so difficult currently, but I'm telling you, it's that place, it's at the throne, the king decrees uncommon justice. It is in that place the king enforces uncommon justice. It is that place that the king seals uncommon justice. And when you go, you go free and you are at liberty. Free indeed, for if the sun sets you free, you are free. Indeed, the place you go is very important. But secondly, I want to talk about the blessing of uncommon justice. The blessing of uncommon justice, and in that blessing there is power. You remember the story of Gehazi? He was before the king, before the woman came, and he was giving a testimony. He was testifying about what Elisha had done and I want to tell you this One of the things that will bring uncommon justice is the power of your testimony. The power of your testimony. You need not worry about what is happening to you currently. Just remind yourself of what the Lord has done in the past. David came before Goliath and he goes to King Saul and King Saul said you cannot handle this man. This man is a warrior from the time he was young. And David said let me give you a testimony. One time a lion came to take my ship. I ran after the lion and I got back my ship and I killed the lion. Another time, a bear came and took a lamb. I ran after the bear, I killed the bear and I took the lamb safely. And he said because God was with me when I fought the lion and because God was with me when I fought the lion, and because God was with me when I fought the bear, the same God will be with me when I deal with Goliath. Your testimony will give you a breakthrough. Don't forget what God has done, because many times we forget where God took us from. God has done amazing things for us in the past. Bring those things to remembrance when you're in court and tell God this is what you've done. Paul and Silas were thrown in jail for casting out a demon. They were doing something good for somebody. They were cast into a prison. But at midnight they were praising and they were doing something good for somebody. They were cast into a prison. But at midnight they were praising and they were singing and they were just reminding themselves of the goodness of the lord and as they were doing that, the place was shaken and all the chains and all the doors were open and they came free. Many times when we are facing injustice, our default is to complain, complain, and now you tell everybody else about what so-and-so did for you. Everybody else must know. Do you know what so-and-so did Mshene, mshene Every day. Hello, look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor you're a culprit. Everybody has to know their injustices. Let me tell you this instead of telling your neighbor, tell God your testimony. Tell God of the good things he has done, hallelujah, tell God. Tell God when your son is rebelling and being an injustice in your life. Remind God when you gave birth to this child. You had a very difficult birth process, but you came through and God saw you through and this boy was born. You remind God of that testimony. One time this boy was growing, you know, somebody stole him, but in a short time he was found. Remind God those testimonies and tell God why you have preserved this boy. It's not so that he can molest me. It's because there is a mark of greatness in him and something good is going to come out of him. In Jesus' name, remind God his testimony. So while Gehazi was testifying about this lady, the woman showed up and the king was already softened to give this lady a verdict in her favor. Let me say this in Jesus' name, god is going to give you a verdict in your favor. In Jesus' name, I'm saying God is coming your way this month. In Jesus' name, god is going to give you a verdict in your favor. In Jesus' name, I'm saying God is coming your way this month. In Jesus' name, somebody better receive it. Joseph is one person we see, injustice after injustice after injustice, sold by his brothers, sold to Potiphar, mistreated in that house, thrown in prison for something he did not do. He interprets a dream and the guy who was favored in that dream goes out and forgets him. For how long? For two years, by the way. Joseph was in that state for 13 years, because he was 17 when he was sold by the brothers. He was 30 when he stood before Pharaoh. When he stood before Pharaoh, you know, god helped Joseph to give such advice that Pharaoh was so excited. And this is what Pharaoh did in Genesis, chapter 41, verse 37. I'm telling you, god is coming your way. God will give you justice, and this is what the Bible says. The plan seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his officials. So Pharaoh asked them can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God? Then Pharaoh said to Joseph since God has made all this known to you, there's no one so discerning and wise as you. You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you. So, pharaoh said to Joseph. I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on the Joseph's finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put gold chains around his neck. He had him ride in a chariot as his second in command and people shouted before him make way. Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph I am Pharaoh, but without your word no one will lift hand or foot in all of Egypt. Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zephanath Paneah and gave him Asenath, daughter of Potipharah, priest of On to be his wife, my brothers and sisters. That is justice, I'm saying that is justice. So don't give up, don't give in. Believe in this God, because when the blessing comes, it will blow your mind. And so continue to testify. The power of timing God comes in time, not in your time, but in his time. Trust is time, because sometimes justice for you takes a long time. You don't have to give up, you just say look, god has forgotten me, people have forgotten me. I don't think I'll ever survive in this life, but listen to me. God knows the plans he has for you. Plans for welfare are not for evil To give you a future, and I hope God's timing is best. Buenas fiu and the power of turnaround. God will turn around situations for you, god will bless you In ways you cannot imagine. And so trust his justice. Trust his justice. He will come around for you. But I want to talk about acceleration. Tell your neighbor acceleration. The Bible says in Luke, chapter 18, verse 7 and 8, there's something I want to pick from that statement when Jesus was speaking, and this is what he said. Towards the end he said and will he not and will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you he will see that. Bring about justice for his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night. Will he keep putting them off? I tell you he will see that they get justice. And how Quickly. Tell your neighbor. Acceleration is coming your way. Some of you will be so shocked that justice will come to you. It was to come to you in August. It will come to you. It was to come to you in August, it will come to you in this month. I call that acceleration in Jesus' name. Somebody better give God a big hand. And I'm saying it because when I say certain things, angels pick it up and run with it. Are you listening to me? I'm not guessing, I'm just speaking. And angels pick it and they go make it happen for you in Jesus name. And then he says I tell you he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the son of man comes, will he find faith on the earth? One of the things that will trigger justice for you is faith. Tell your neighbor faith. Tell your neighbor, faith will accelerate your situation. What kind of faith? Three things Faith that puts a demand. There is faith that puts a demand. That lady who came to the unjust judge. She came and said grant me justice from my adversary. That was the demand. She was not just coming and says, oh, give me justice, give me justice. What kind of justice? No, no, I just need justice. Articulate what you need and put the demand straight and let it be clear and to the point and God will answer you. Put a demand. God will ask you why do you need this justice? Why do you need me to give you justice? You better articulate it clearly. Don't just say, well, because I need it. Don't say because you are just God. Articulate it. What is it? What injustice did they do? Is it land that was taken from you? Then articulate and say land was taken from me, you know, without cause. Say it clearly Justice, justice. Somebody took my wife away and he did not ask me. Articulate it, say it clearly so that when God wants to give you justice, it will be clear and to the point. Ask and ask clearly. Many of us don't ask clearly. We come to the king, we are in the courtroom and all we are saying is this Father, father God, father God, father God, father, father, father, father, father, father God, muadani, muadani, muadani, father God, father God. And there's nothing you're saying. By the time you open your eyes, the judge is asking you what did you actually ask? And that is why, in courts, these advocates and people come with big files Because they don't want to miss anything. It is written and they turn the pages, and they turn the pages. It is articulated. But thank God he doesn't need those big files. He wants you to just state it the way it is. What do you want me to do for you? But he may ask. He's blind. He finds an opportunity. Son of David, have mercy on me. Son of David, have mercy on me. Jesus is not listening. And then he starts shouting and shouting. And then Jesus stops. He says bring him to me. And then he starts shouting and shouting, and then Jesus stops. He says bring him to me. And then Jesus asked the man what do you want me to do for you? By the way, did Jesus know the guy is blind? Yes, he did. Jesus knows your need so well, but you must tell him what the need is. You must tell him what is it you're telling him. And Batima said one statement Lord, I want to see, simple statement. And Jesus says start seeing. And boom, the eyes opened up and he could see. Let me tell you this don't articulate your prayers very long, because you might confuse God opened up and he could see. Let me tell you this Don't articulate your prayers very long, because you might confuse God. Exactly what you have been asking. Hallelujah. Go to God knowing exactly what you want him to do, but make sure you go with your advocate. He knows how to articulate these things better than you. But remember, faith must be persistent. This woman came to the judge over and over again. Now God wants you to be persistent, not because he's reluctant to hear you, but because he wants to be sure that's what you want, because many times we come to God asking things casually. Lord, I want this, he gives it to you. Lord, I want this, he gives it to you. But there comes a time when God wants to know do you really need what you are asking for? And so when you come and persist and persist, and you're grateful, sometimes some people persist, but they are very ungrateful. Yanni, god, what do you think, yanni? I've been standing here all this time and you're not listening to me. Now, god, listen to me, do not lie to me. The Bible says God is not a man that he should lie. Now you're lying. Now, god, that attitude will not help you because the Bible says don't be anxious about anything. Don't be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer, supplication with what Thanksgiving? Be grateful, have a grateful heart and God will connect with you. Faith that puts a demand, faith that persists, and faith that expects a reward. Expect God to do something. Don't leave God's presence and say, anyway, whether he does it or not, it is his will. Never come to God with this thing. It is his will. Find out his will before you show up. I'm saying find out his will. Find out His will before you show up. I'm saying find out His will before you show up. Oh Lord, if it is your will, give me a baby. The Bible says children are a gift from God. Carry that statement to God and say God, this is what the Bible says bless me, bless my womb, may I have children. And you can even be clear God, I need a boy. Or if it is a girl, I need a girl. If it is twins, tell him it is twins, so that you are not shocked when you are asking for a boy and you get triplets. You say God Umeni fanyia madambi, so be specific. Hallelujah, god is a God of justice. One time and I've shared this story many times and I'll share it as I tie up the message One time we and I've shared this story many times and I'll share it as I tie up the message One time we were praying for one of our youth a long time ago, when I was in the youth group and we were in Parklands, ukko, and this lady had received an opportunity to go to America. And let me tell you this when people receive opportunities to go to America, they really want to go to America. They want to go there seriously. And I want to say this when you get an opportunity to go to America, they want to go there seriously. And I want to say this when you get an opportunity to go to America, you go. I'm saying go, get a passport, you get a visa, just go. If it is visiting, go visit and come back. I'm saying, come back. So this lady wants to go and as youth you know we were energetic and we were really for her and as youth you know we were energetic and we were really for her and we really wanted her. So we prayed. She was going for the interview on Monday, but Sunday we prayed After the service. We spent a whole afternoon praying Just for one item Visa. Oh Jehovah, god, release the visa. My God, release the visa. We prayed and prayed and then we started talking to demons, demons, if you're sitting on that visa, we command now that you leave and don't sit on that visa. So we prayed and claimed the visa. We prayed all kinds of things. That lady went on Monday to get the visa with so much faith and for us it was a great expectation. She went for the interview and guess what? She was denied. Oh, the lady was upset. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to say this as believers, sometimes let us learn to expect a no answer. It will not kill you. Let me repeat it You're not excited. Learn to receive a no answer. Sometimes God says no, other times he says wait, because there's something he wants to do. And there are times he says yes. He says no, maybe because the time is not right, and things like that. So don't look at God's denial as God's refusal, hallelujah. So this lady gets upset, she leaves church and for months we didn't see her. She's gone and for us we are saying, hey, we wasted a whole Sunday praying. You know, next time we will not use so much energy praying just to get a regret. But we prayed and prayed and God knows his ways. We don't know his ways. You know one thing I thank God is this. God is God and I am not. That one gives me so much peace. God is God and I am not. A couple of months later this lady comes to church. A friend of hers, a lady friend, insists today I need to come to Parklands, can you take me to Parklands? So they come to Parklands Baptists. So we see her and say, ah, it's good to see you, welcome. So she's in the service. After the service this lady needs to go to town and they need a lift. There was a guy who was at the parking and they knew him and they said can you give us a lift to town? So the guy says no problem, fine, I'll give you a. So they go inside, this lady from the youth sits at the back, her friend is in front and they are dropped to town. The distance between parklands and town happened. Something happened. This guy is driving. Instead of watching in front, he's looking through the rear view mirror and looking at the girl behind. Something happened Electricity, chemicals, call them whatever you want Hallelujah. They became friends and before long, he proposed, before long they got married. Hallelujah. And then this guy, because of his work, he was given an opportunity to go continue that work in the US. Hallelujah. And they went with this girl who had wanted all along to go to the US, and now this was an opportunity for her. She did not struggle and they went to the US. You know, I went back to the prayer we prayed. By the way, the guy was also visiting Park Eve that day. He had come from Nakuru, so he was just coming in, and so I remembered our prayer. I said, by the way, that prayer, god really answered. Can you imagine we were praying? Father, god, in the name of Jesus, give this lady a visa. My God, give this lady a visa. Oh Jehovah, we need a visa. In Nakuru there's a guy saying oh God, give me a wife. My father give me a wife. Oh Jehovah, I cannot live this long, I need a wife. Here on this side, we are saying we are about to release his wife to the US. Now God needs to answer both prayers. He needs to answer this prayer and he needs to answer that prayer because God is a God of justice. And so God looked at the situation and said you will still go to the US, but this guy needs a wife. And so, months later and a year later, they got married. They went to the US. Our prayers and her prayers were answered. The prayers of this girl from Nakuru were answered and God sat on his throne and said I am the God of justice. That is your God. I remember many times when people are playing football, especially when Arsenal is playing Liverpool. Now, can you imagine the prayers that are being prayed in those two places? Do you know what Liverpool is praying for? Father God, we don't walk alone and, dear Lord, you will not walk alone with us. We will not walk alone with you. Arsenal, on the other side, says oh God, you're a God of the arsenal, send the weapons of warfare to those guys and defeat them. And God is sitting there and says by the way, I don't know how God would answer that prayer Either they go, they draw hello or that particular day there is no match, hallelujah. But you know, sometimes when you're praying for your enemy and you're saying God, judge my enemy, god may actually be using your enemy to increase your level of prayers, because before your enemy came you were not praying, but now your enemy is a catalyst to cause you to do what To pray and come before God. And then you're in this level of intimacy with God and then God says what I needed to be done in your life has been done. I will now remove the catalyst. So, as I'm about to pray, would you like us to pray the prayer of Psalms 35? Okay, stand up, I want to show you that Psalm again. Are you glad you came? Now lift up your hand and give God a big hand and tell him thank you, thank you, amen. God is a God of justice. And so sometimes, when you're tired and things like that and that prayer comes into your mind contend, lord, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me. Let me tell you this God is fighting your battles. God has not let you down, and that is why, sometimes in this country, when there is so much wickedness and evil, god will remember you, because God deals with wickedness and he deals with evil. He's a God of justice. He will remember you, amen. He will remember you so this month. God is a God of justice. He's your rock. He has not failed, amen. And he comes in time In his time. He makes all things beautiful. He's a good God, and so why don't you take just a moment, think of some of the injustices that you may be facing and begin to just thank God that he's a God of justice? Those in the pavilion watching online just take a moment in your spirit, because God is going to come through for you in the month of justice. Those in the pavilion watching online just take a moment in your spirit, because God is going to come through for you in the month of March. He's a God of justice. Don't despair, don't be discouraged, don't give up. It may have taken a long time. Like Joseph 13 years I want to encourage somebody. Today is your 13th year. Your justice is coming now. In the name of Jesus. Oh, yes, talk to God and thank him, even thank him for some of the enemies that have stood against you, because they have brought you so close to God. God will not fail. You Come to the right place, come to the blessing of uncommon justice, and may uncommon justice be accelerated to you by faith. My God, thank you. These are your people who have entered into a new month and we are speaking life into this new month, lord. There may be matters and issues we may have faced. There are even some people here in our service who have cases in court about land, about jobs, about people who swindle them of money, just things that human beings do against other human beings. But today we are saying, god, you're a God who remembers, you're a God of justice, you're not a God who should lie. What you say you will do, what you declare you will actually make happen. And today we are saying, lord, you are our God. The injustices that are engineered by the devil, we want today, in the name of Jesus, to cancel. We want to bring them down. In the name of Jesus, we want to say that Satan will not prevail. We want to say that God will not prevail. We want to say that God will judge and God will bring justice. You have told us how to function in the New Testament To do good to those who hurt us, to even give to them and to bless them, because, at the end of the day, lord, you are the avenger, we are not the ones to avenge, and when you do, you do it so well Because justice and common justice prevails. So, father, thank you for this blessed congregation and whatever it is they need, may they bring a demand to the throne of grace, may they persist, may they be grateful as they come to you, may they articulate it clearly, and I know when Jesus is their advocate, jesus, you'll be able to say to the Father, to the King, to the Judge, in ways we cannot say it. And so, father, we thank you. We want to thank you for some people who came through for us in our various walks of life. Like I was saying, gishane came through for me one time and there are others who have stood in our gaps and we found justice. We want to remember them and say thank you for bringing this destiny helpers our way and we found justice. We want to remember them and say thank you For bringing these destiny helpers our way and we want to pray that God, when an opportunity like that comes for us to act, may we also engage and help people get justice. As I'm praying, lord, I'm praying for our justice system. I pray, lord, for the judges in Kenya, I pray for the magistrates and I pray Father, father, for advocates and all our justice system. Father, we may not know the intricacies of the justice system, but we want to lift every judge, even in the Supreme Court, before you today. My God, may they find your wisdom, may they find your grace and Lord, those who are believers in the justice system. May they find a common justice that comes just from you. And, dear Lord, we want to say thank you Because we know that what needs to be amended in our justice system, that God, you will cause it to happen. My God, I say thank you because many of our members here serve in the judiciary and in the various platforms. Some of them are magistrates, some of them are judges, some of them are legal experts, and we just want to commit them to you. We want to bless them as they do their work. May they fulfill their purpose wherever they are. Sometimes they face so much temptation and many things come their way that sometimes they don't know what to do. But God, be you being the great judge. You know what to release to them this afternoon and this month, because this month will have many testimonies coming, because uncommon justice is already being released into our midst. If you believe these prayers, I want you to say I receive it, I take it, it is my portion and there's nothing the devil can do about it. Now, why don't we give God a big hand and just tell him thank you, hallelujah, hallelujah, come, hallelujah, come on, come on. He is the judge. Bless his holy name, bless his holy name. Amen. Pastor Kiniti, come up here as you release us in prayer. But God is a good God. Look at your neighbor. Give your neighbor a high five and tell him thank you for coming to church today. Amen. Tell your neighbor justice is your portion. Tell them uncommon justice is coming your way In Jesus' name, and there's nothing the devil can do about it. You believe that. I believe that too, and Kasungi and your family. May the Lord bless you and do you good today and in the days to come.

Speaker 2: 56:35

Pastor Kinitikaribu, god bless you let's appreciate our senior pastor one more time. Come on somebody. Let us appreciate our senior pastor. Some love for our senior pastor. Come on somebody. Glory to Jesus. And now to the king of kings and the Lord of Lords. Amen, amen, amen. Kings and the Lord of lords, amen, amen, amen.

Speaker 2: 57:08

How the cross? At the cross where I fell, so the light and the burden of my heart rolled away. It was there. It was there. By faith, I receive my son and now I am happy. Oh, what a crow. Crows are the crow when I fast first saw the light and the burden of my heart rolled away. It was there. It was there. By faith, I received my son and now I am happy all the day.

Speaker 2: 58:32

Just take a moment to thank God that by faith, you received your sight. And maybe this afternoon you have listened to this message and the Holy Spirit is speaking to you and is saying you are yet to receive justice because you have not yet given your life to the Lord Jesus. He's calling you today. The cross is a place of justice, so I want to invite you that you will consider today To walk to that cross and let your burden be lifted at the cross of Christ. And so, by faith, we are going to sing just one more time, as I invite pastors and deacons to just come to the front at the pavilion I know we have our leadership there. Just take to the front and in a moment I'll be releasing you. But if you are here, you have not yet come to the front and in a moment I'll be releasing you. But if you are here, you have not yet come to the place of justice, to the cross of Jesus Christ, where your burden of sin is lifted. This is your moment and Christ is calling you. Those who are online drop a message there. Let us know that you want to come to Jesus and we are going to connect with you. And so, one more time, take this moment.

Speaker 2: 1:00:02

Come to the front, take a step of faith. Come to the cross of Jesus. Let Jesus take the burden of sin. Give you justice of God's righteousness. Don't live with your burden of sin today, because Jesus loves you, I receive my sacrifice. We are waiting for you. We are just about to pray. Take that step of faith. Oh the crow, somebody who has not given his life to Jesus. This is your moment. Just come to the front. Come to the front Wherever you are. Just walk to the front. We'll the front, wherever you are. Just walk to the front, we'll be praying with you in a moment. And rolled away. It was there, it's there by faith I received.

Speaker 2: 1:01:11

Come on, let us celebrate the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Come on church, let us celebrate the King of Kings. There is no bigger justice than the justice of Jesus lifting the burden of sin off your life and giving you eternal life. And so, if you are there, we are still waiting for you. Just one more minute. You have not given your life to Jesus. Don't go back home with the burden of sin. Bring it at the cross, receive justice, because Jesus will say your sins are forgiven.

Speaker 2: 1:01:51

Amen, somebody else, hallelujah, amen, somebody else, hallelujah, hallelujah. And now I am happy all the day, hallelujah. We bless the Lord. Children receive justice at the cross of Jesus Christ, and so the Lord is at work. For those who are watching us online, and this is your desire I invite you now that, by faith, you will say to the Lord Jesus to come into your life and say Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I to come into your life and say Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, I invite you into my life by faith that you will save me, take away the burden of sin. By faith I receive justice. Through the love of Jesus Christ on the cross, I open my heart. Come in, save me, be Lord in Jesus' name. If you have made that prayer, jesus has come into your life. You are a new creation. Your life will never be the same again. You have been justified and now you are a child of God. Amen, let us celebrate the King of Kings one more time. Oh, yes, somebody who knows that the Lord has already gone ahead of you. Come on, celebrate. Come on, celebrate Jesus, celebrate the King of Justice. Amen, amen and Lord.

Speaker 2: 1:03:33
