Hello everybody, welcome once again to Deeptons Audio and this is episode 7 of Deeptons of His Word. So we have been coming so far and this is episode 7 and God is really helping us as we are moving with it. So without further ado, let's go straight into it. So today we have a special guest, so our first guest for deep things of His word. So give it up for our one and only guest. Pastor Informa Okoye, I'm glad
to be here. Thank. You all right, Pastor Okoye, thank you so much for coming. It means the Lord God bless you. Today we are looking at bringing that idea to life. So John chapter 1 from verse one to three and fourteen. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made. Without Him nothing was made that has been made. So skipping to verse 4, the Word became flesh and made His dwelling amongst us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
When we hear the Word idea, what comes to mind? We can say it is a conception in the mind of something to be done, a plan for doing something, an intention, right. It is also a purposeful aim or goal and intent. We are already familiar with this Bible passage, John chapter one, verse 1. So can we paraphrase a little? So we can say in the beginning was an idea and this idea was with God and this idea was God. So I once heard Doctor Myers Monroe of blessed memory say this poor people talk about money, which people talk about things, things they can buy or have bought or whether people talk about ideas and you remember according to generous say and Lord gives us power to make wealth, not to make riches, but wealth.
That means he has encouraged us to have ideas when we realise that we are that idea in John chapter one verse one like we are God's own idea. God had us a full time. That's if you impute your name. You can say in the beginning was whatever your name is and you whatever your name is is with God and you all right. So if you do that, you'll be able to change your perception towards life and you'll be able to live differently when you realise that you are the idea got us about Imagine your name is Joseph.
You say in the beginning was Joseph and Joseph OK and Joseph was with God. So when you know that you we are with God and you were in the mind of God initially your perception, but things will be different. Amen, Amen. Ephesians chapter 2 verse 10. For we are God's hand were created in Christ Jesus to good, to do good works, which God has prepared in advance for us. To do. So now in today's episode of Deep Things of God's Word, we have examined some of the promises God gave to us and some instructions that came with it.
So that is a question for you. Is there something the Lord has spoken to you about this year, about your life, your family? Is there an idea or innovation He placed in your heart? Is there a word of prophecy that you've received from Him? Well, now, if there's any positive answer to these questions, then this episode is for you. And it's time to birth that idea. Now, in this case, that thought, that revelation, that was the prophecy, that commis name it. So if you are not sensitive to this idea, someone else might also have it or receive it.
So there's something that I saw they said if it's an innovative idea that you have or expression that you've got from God or wherever, right, and you do not act on it, someone else will have the idea. And when they get that idea, the person will act on it, however they know how. And guess what, it would turn out very good. So maybe God has placed something in your heart maybe to start doing one thing or the other. Then you know, me complaining or maybe be saying you don't have the perfect resources to make it perfect.
I don't know. It's so it should not be perfect. It should first be original. I tell you this, I think this is like deep, this original. It shouldn't be perfect. It should be original. Start little start however you can, and then the Lord will help you. If affection is not the key, making it better, right advancing it is what's more important. Now I'm going to be we're going to be highlighting. So I said no, but so former is right here with us. So she'll be highlighting some examples of people in the Bible that one idea conceived in the mind of God and that aligned with it.
Alright, so I'm just going to start. So prophet Jeremiah in the book of Jeremiah chapter one, verse 5, it says before I shipped you in the womb, I knew you intimately. I had divine plans for you before I gave you life and I set you apart and chose you to be mine. You are my prophetic gift to the nations. I like this translation, passion translation. So that is so Prophet Jeremiah. This is what God revealed to him and what He worked in line to actually be a prophet. If not, well, it's good for God to have the idea.
But when you align with it right, you see the answer. You see the result of that idea, what you want you to be at the end of it all. OK, so at this point I'm going to hand over the mic to Pastor Fomar to carry on from here. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. Alright, thank you so much, Deepti's Mama. OK, I'm just going to highlight some examples of persons in the. Scripture who? The Lord spoke about them and then they later came into existence and then what this prophetic board did. So we know about the story of Samuel, first Samuel chapter 1, his mum was there praying and willing, but thank God, thank God that at some point she came to the realization that OK, for this, for me to crack these nuts, I have to make a vow unto the Lord.
And as she made that vow to the Lord, the Bible makes us understand that the 2 verses after that verse where she made the vow, the prophet of the Lord came in and said to her, why are you drunk? This alimony? Why are you, you know? And she said she was not drunk. The longer short of the story is that the prophet of the law spoke to her by the next verse and told her you would have a child. And some verses down the line she had a child. And this child changed the order of priesthood in the whole of Israel.
This child was one in a billion. It was a different one. Hallelujah. We see also the story of Samson, the book of Judges. Judges chapter 13 verse 3 to verse five I will read briefly. And the Bible says, And the Angel of the Lord appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold, now thou art buried, and bearest not, but thou shalt conceive and bear a son. Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine or strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing. For lo, thou shalt conceive and be a son, and no result shall come on his head.
For the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb, and he shall be to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. Yes, there was a need for a deliverer in those days when the prophecy of Samsung came. Hallelujah. And then of course, purpose comes before arrival. Hallelujah, purpose comes before arrival, before the Lord puts a thing in your heart and says to you, go and do this and go and do that. He has seen the end of 2026. He has seen the end of this decade, and He has known what He would want you to achieve.
And then I won't be tired if you disobey or if you delay, right? Hallelujah. Praise God. So discover your purpose early so you don't misuse your gift. Also, I would like to fully highlight a very interesting story again in the scripture where we talk about a man called John the Baptist. Some call him John the Baptizer. The Bible says in the book of Isaiah, chapter 40, verse three, he says the voice of of in the quiet in the wilderness. Prepare ye the way of the Lord next to it in the desert, a highway for our God.
Now this is Isaiah 43, many, many years over over 400 years. In short, much more right we see Luke 113 and 17. The Bible says, But the Angel of the Lord said unto, said unto him, Fear not Zechariah, for thy prayer is heard. And thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John, and he shall go before him in the Spirit and the power of Elias to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just to make radiate people prepared for the Lord.
Praise God. Hallelujah. So we see many years ago a prophecy was given about somebody who was going to be a forerunner of Jesus. And then we see it come to pass in the book of Luke, chapter one, verse 13. Right. Yeah. So that that idea in your heart as much as you can. Please remember, yes, as you're going about it, destiny needs preparation. Don't see it as far I must be prepared before I go. No, as you're doing the work, you're preparing, you're building capacity in the work. But with time announcement will come.
The Bible makes us understand that when John was born, he didn't immediately. He didn't immediately go into the wilderness. He didn't immediately eat locals beans and in all drink honey and all that. No, no, no, no, he came to a point where he grew into maturity to begin to do those things that he left out was going to do. So in the Scripture as well. We see Isaac in the Bible, Genesis chapter 17, verse 19, and he sees and God said, Sarah, thy wife shall bear thee his son indeed, and thou shall call his name Isaac.
And I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant and with his seed after him. Praise God. You know God names what he plans to create, right? God names what he plans to create. Hallelujah. Praise God, speak lies over your dreams, even when logic disagrees. Hallelujah. In the time of Isaac and Abraham and the time of Sarah and Abraham, it was so obvious that menopause had happened. A child couldn't be birthed at that point. But guess what? Praise God. Even when your dream defies logic, even when they're telling you start this content creation thing and you just don't know how to, even when you don't have the best camera set.
God's word to us is what? Because I have named what I have planned to create. Just follow my plan. Just go ahead with it, right? And with time, you will see the materialization of those professors over your life. Hallelujah. Amen. Amen. Thank you so much for my God bless you. So shall listed out all these big prophets, Samuel, then Samson, then John the Baptist, then Isaac. So there are many other people. We just give a little glimpse of the people that do our first idea in the mind of God and then they came to reality.
So don't wait till it's perfect. Just start where you are all right and God always back you up. Thank you so much and OK so we'll just pray briefly for you for the boldness to step into God's mandate. Think pastor from I'll pray for you. So as far as kind. Of Amen. Praise God as many who can hear us, please just know that it's the desire of the Lord that we obey and we obey actly we obey. Now praise God. So this evening, this morning, this afternoon, wherever you are, we declare that the boldness to step into this prophetic declaration, prophetic coordination, prophetic mandate over your life.
We declare now that that boldness comes upon you, that boldness comes upon you in the name of Jesus. You have the boldness to start that thing. If it's an online thing, if it's a business, if it's a ministry, if it's a career path, what service is what service is. Father, we declare you're releasing your boldness now over everyone to go forth in the name of Jesus and to be to do what you sense them to do without delays in Jesus name. And of course everyone's prophet thing shall appear to many in Jesus name.
Amen. Hallelujah. So thank you all for listening. God bless you. So to we meet again. Bye. Hey.
