Genesis 29:14-20
14 Then Laban said to him, “You are my own flesh and blood.”
After Jacob had stayed with him for a whole month, 15 Laban said to him, “Just because you are a relative of mine, should you work for me for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.”
16 Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17 Leah had weak[a] eyes, but Rachel had a lovely figure and was beautiful. 18 Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, “I’ll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel.”
19 Laban said, “It’s better that I give her to you than to some other man. Stay here with me.” 20 So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her.
Revelation 3:14 -16
14 “And to the [i]angel of the church [j]of the Laodiceans write,‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither [k]cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
Zechariah 3:1-5
Habakkuk 3:2
A prayer of the prophet Habakkuk, with orchestra:
God, I’ve heard what our ancestors say about you,
and I’m stopped in my tracks, down on my knees.
Do among us what you did among them.
Work among us as you worked among them.
And as you bring judgment, as you surely must,
remember mercy.
'There cannot be corporate revival without personal revival.'
~Pastor Bob Wanjau
Revival is an awakening of the Spirit. God is calling us back to the secret place. Back to the place of personal time with Him. Back to the place of worship and intimacy. God loves you jealously and one of His greatest desires is to commune with you.
Take some quality time this week to love on God.

1 Kings 19:1-4 [NKJV]
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!”
Elijah was discouraged by WORDS. Discouragement is part of the journey of faith. One of the best ways to overcome discouragement is by countering a negative report with a positive report. Do not let people's comments to get to you. Do not allow your situation in life to discourage you to the point of giving up. Keep on confessing what you want to see in your life. Don't lose hope!
Hebrews 10:32-35 [MSG]
Remember those early days after you first saw the light? Those were the hard times! Kicked around in public, targets of every kind of abuse—some days it was you, other days your friends. If some friends went to prison, you stuck by them. If some enemies broke in and seized your goods, you let them go with a smile, knowing they couldn’t touch your real treasure. Nothing they did bothered you, nothing set you back. So don’t throw it all away now. You were sure of yourselves then. It’s still a sure thing! But you need to stick it out, staying with God’s plan so you’ll be there for the promised completion.
Psalm 119:105Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
Matthew 12:36-37 [ESV]
I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Words are powerful. Your words shape your future. Be careful what you speak about yourself. Be careful what you speak about your children. Cast down and destroy every negative word spoken against you; and in its place, speak positive words concerning yourself, your family and your future.
Proverbs 18:21 [KJV]
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Eph. 2:14-16 [NLT]14 For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. 15 He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups. 16 Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death.
1 John 3:1-2
[1]Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
[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.
The State of The Heart
Jeremiah 17:9-10 [KJV]
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
The Bible says that the heart of man is desperately wicked. No matter how righteous we may be in our own eyes, our righteousness is as filthy rags to God. Take time to check on your heart posture this week. Be real with God, tell Him about your mess, your struggles, your fears; anything and everything that's on your heart. And His promise is that a contrite heart, He shall not despise.
Are you in need of help from God? Do you sometimes feel unworthy of love? We are here to let you know that God loves you, just the way you are. You don't need to do anything or change anything for him to love you; He simply loves you. So come as you are! We have our services every Sunday from 9 AM at Jubilee Christian Church Kikuyu. There's a cup of hot tea waiting for you! Your life will never be the same again.

Psalm 91:1-41 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most HighShall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;My God, in Him I will trust.”3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the [a]fowlerAnd from the perilous pestilence.4 He shall cover you with His feathers,And under His wings you shall take refuge;His truth shall be your shield and buckler.God has your back.

God wants you to grow. Don't settle for where you are right now. There is so much you can do in your life. God is waiting for you to SPEAK faith and ACT faith. God didn't create you so that you can live in fear and anxiety.
Jer. 29:11 [NIV]
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
God's Word says that he plans to prosper you. But He needs you to first believe in yourself. He needs you to believe in Him and His Word. And most importantly, He needs you to BUILD YOUR CAPACITY!

1 Peter 5:9 [NIV]Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Luke 11:1
And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
Prayer is not sending God on you errands, or trying to get God to rubberstamp your plans. Prayer is laying down your will for God's will. Get to learn more on the topic of Prayer with Pastor Bob Wanjau through this teaching.
Acts 1:8
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
This portion of scripture says that you shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you. Now, as a new creation, you already have the Holy Ghost living inside of you.
1 Corinthians 6:19
know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Therefore, this means that you ALREADY have the power of God upon you! You don't need to pray to receive power; it is already inside of you!
Decree it, "I have the power of God inside of me!"

"You don't tell God what to do. God tells you what to do."
~Pastor Bob
God is always speaking, but we need to take time to listen to him. Many are the times that we begin listening to God well then we grow impatient and start to look for our own ways of doing things.
Purpose to learn God's plan for your life and to stick to it. Take time to listen to God in the secret place. Don't be in a hurry. He is always speaking and He wants to speak to you; even today.
Have a blessed week and enjoy this teaching from Pastor Bob Wanjau.

he New birth is not a change of habit! Though it will produce a change of habit!
It "produces" a New creature! The New man, born of the Spirit!
The new creature is supernaturally known, by the revelation which is found in the Word!
It's a new man, born of the Spirit. It's not a reformation of the sinner, it's the birth of a saint. It's the union of God and man, enacted by the Spirit's indwelling!
It's eternal life now given, it's God's eternal word bringing forth!
The New birth is not about a "pardoned" sinner, it's about a new creature, sins forgiven, righteousness imputed!
God now has sons, by the fact of Christ's resurrection, sons brought into glory, when Christ was born from death to life - in the resurrection.
Death has got nothing on us, because Christ being raised dieth no more, even so, because we are IN CHRIST, all of Christ's accomplishment at resurrection are now ours!
We are sons - IN CHRIST
Christ died - We died with Him
He was buried - We were buried with Him
He was raised - We were raised with Him
He is seated today and we are seated with Him!
This is the new creature!
The New creature is perfectly identified in the Saviour's work!
Christ's accomplishment at resurrection are all ours today!
He gave Him (Christ) to be head over all things to the church, which is His body!
Christ's accomplishment are towards the church - the family of the New Creature, the Father's family!
This revelation when fully seen will give rise to men who walk in victory, who walk in power and who walk in love!
Today, you and I, having believed the gospel are IN HIS WORK! Now and always ...
Blessed!
1 Timothy 2:4 KJV Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
The word KNOWLEDGE here is the Greek word is EPIGNOSIS which means accurate, precise definite knowledge... God not only wants you saved, but for you to come to the EPIGNOSIS of the truth.
What is the truth?
Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world!
