GOOD MEASURE

Ah please with our hand clap of praise welcome our daddy to the podium as to give us a word for today.

Oh hallelujah thank you so much. Before we start the service please be seated. We have to

dedicate something um this week um one of our church members decided to bless

our church with the microphone stand. When we checked online, it was 850

cities and um I didn't expect him to do it, but

he did it. He sent the money and when I went to the shop to buy to, God did

something. The man we're buying from refused to sell it to us at at 850 cities. The man

we are buying from said, "Pastor, I haven't seen you a long time. Buy this.

Buy this for 350 cities.

We've been looking for a headphone for for a while. Looking for quality headphone to help us

monitor our sound quality and everything. It came in a box. We've removed all the box. Forgive us.

300. Amen. I came here with 850. I bought two

items. I wanted to thank God for them.

Amen. Out of that seed, we've gotten something for the sound and for the microphones. Let's stretch forward our

hands and dedicate this to God. And then we'll pray for that gentleman in the church who sacrificed this. Amen.

Just like Auntie Lydia bought us a pointer that we are still using. Amen. Hallelujah. Amen.

failing that they sacrificed to make sure that if there was something needed in God's house, it'd be paid for. Today,

we stand before God with their gift to the work at Favor Chapel International.

Every time we use these items, let a unique blessings come over their life.

addition to the things the victuals of God's church.

Amen.

[Music]

Hallelujah. [Music]

Amen.

Hallelujah. Amen.

This week, mommy was telling me that she met some people and were saying they know your husband. Say,

Hallelujah. Classmates over 400 classmates over 400.

Hallelujah.

[Applause] If you're ready now, I'd like us to record so I can go live. Can we go now?

Amen. You ready with the word of God? Um, this is the last Sunday before our

uh our harvest and I wanted to share with you something the Holy Spirit put

on my heart. In fact, this is one of the word that is going to be a blessing to your life. Amen. Because when I started,

it will not stop until I finished. Hallelujah. There are times you are teaching God's word and sometimes the word will break. I don't know whether

the angel go on break or something. But you go on break, you wait until another load of revelation comes and you start

adding. Amen. Forgive me. That's how I receive sermons to preach. There's a difference of people people trying to

teach from Bible school philosophies and there's a difference from people teaching what they have been told by God

to teach. And so um this will be a blessing to you, a very big blessing to

you. This morning I want to talk about a great a great sermon called good

measure. Tell somebody good measure. It doesn't look much but it is much. It's loaded. Hallelujah. Tell somebody

good measure. Lift up one hand. Let us pray. Father, we thank you for this opportunity to teach your word. Let your spirit lead

me, fill me, speak through me. Let your spirit teach your people. Let them be blessed. connect the dots in their

spirit and their thoughts. Be their help, oh Lord, in the name of the Father

and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Those who join us online, those who watch us in other countries, find a

way to come and help God's work. Don't stop. Find a way. Find a way to connect with us. Find a way to communicate with

us. If you do search, you will find. Contribute to the good work we are doing on the face of this earth. Historically,

heaven will recognize it and God will bless you. Amen. The first thing I want to tell you about

is the word good measure can be found in the book of Luke the chapter 6 the 38

says give and it shall be given unto you good measure pressed down shaken

together and running over shall men give into your bosom. For with the same

measure that he meet without, it shall be measured to you again. Hallelujah. If

you say that something is done for good measure, you mean that idiomatic

is that when we God does more than just giving back to us. He makes sure that his plan for us

for which reason he has inspired us to give is completed. But what is that plan? What is that plan of God for us?

Ladies and gentlemen, before I go further, let me say it that it is abundance. Tell somebody abundance.

God has a plan that

not sufficiency but abundance more than they ever would need in their life.

Abundance is a blessing a person financially. It is the

nature of God. If he wants to bless anybody financially, he is looking at them having more money than they could

ever need in their lifetime. He's looking at them having more health to spend this wealth.

Why? You love your club. But God wants you to love good works. God wants you to

commit yourself to the things that are functional in his will on the face of this earth. Amen.

Amen. God wants you to prefer that than the other. So the Bible says that he is able

to give you all that it takes so that when you have more than

scripture because when Jesus took an offering, the rich man gave gave gold.

The man of silver gave silver. Everybody gave out of their abundance. But this

woman gave out of love because all she had was two bites. She not give God one

and keep one. Hello. Hello. She gave all the two might. And

Jesus said what this woman has done. The value of her giving is greater than

every other person. Hallelujah. And the devil wanting many to misrepresent the

words of Jesus. Say that

is a lie. It's tell it's a lie. It's not about the size. It's about the love. It's about the heart. It's about the

willingness that is behind it. The first time God tells Israel to take an offering. The first time God instructs

Moses from Genesis, God never asks for an offering until until we reach Exodus

where they must leave Egypt. And then God asks them for an offering. And in the offering, God said the principle,

the same principle he says through scripture throughout. He says that if they will come both men and women, if

only they are willing of heart as werehearted and

ways of life that person must have it. Let me further explain this using the

amplified Bible. Quoting 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, "Let each one give. Let each

one give as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not

reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion. For God loves

and when he say God loves, he's explaining. He said to be recognized in heaven and for God to lift you up and

bless you among every living being

financially. Excuse me.

Amen. Amen. Amen. So this is this is the reason why um in

this church when you come and is is our fundraising at the end of every year, we

don't tell you who can give us 100 million. We don't tell you who can give us 10,000. We don't tell you who can give us 50,000. We tell you we need

money. We need lots of money. You know, we need we need we need not less than

300 million for the next phase of work we want to do as a church. And we are saying to God that we are trusting him

that he would not he will provide for the work through his people. Hallelujah. Someone lift up your hands and said

amen. Amen. Amen. So we will not tell you how much you can give but this is what we are expecting

God to help us raise. And so if your heart is willing, whatever seed you have, whether it's two CDs, whether it's

20,000, whether it's 50,000, whether it's 100,000, God should help you give

it. Amen. Amen. Amen. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that, "For I

know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord." You see, God is telling us that though he wants us to

give a willing offering, he also wants us also to understand that he will he

will never do us evil. And so when he asks us for an offering, it is only a

setup. It's only a plan to him to give us more. It's only a ploy to find out if

we love him. When he asks Abraham for his only son, he wasn't looking for blood. He was looking for obedience. He

said, "Now I know that you love me. And now I know that you are, your heart is following me. Because of this, I swear

by myself as God. You shall be a blessing on the earth.

Anyone who bless you, I will bless. Anyone who curse you, I will curse." He God said to Abraham, he said through the

in you shall all the nations of the earth. God blessed him until there was no room for the blessing more. He couldn't contain the blessing. He said

this blessing will continue to every man who works and believe like you among the nations. He said God was so desperate to

bless him. He said, "Even if somebody even if somebody is not is not from

Israel.

of of of of determination. He will bring it all out in us. He will make sure that

we receive it all so that the abundance he brings would never leave our hands,

our home and our children. And so God can be trusted. Numbers 23:19

says, "God is not a man that he will say something and lie. Neither is he the son

of man that he should repent what he has said. Shall he not do it? Has he spoken?

Will he not bring it to pass?" Hallelujah. Amen. So every word of God, he will make it

good. Not only will he give us good measure, he will cause men to give us measures pressed down, shaken together,

and running over. If there was a cup here and you fill it with maze, at the brim of the cup, it is full, right? But

when you want to give shaken together, pressed over, running over or yes, what

it means is that after the cup is full, I'm going to try and hit the cup on the floor, create more space, and then top

it up, and when I'm done, I will lump more in my hands and add it to the cup and give it to you. Hallelujah. It is it

is it is more than what you organized for. It's more than what you paid for. But that is not how God will give. The

Bible said he will give measures pressed down, shaken together and running over. So the running over is the surpluses.

When say something is running overuso, you cannot even tell that quantity he gives. The additions he gave, you cannot

measure it. Hallelujah. And so that's what it means. It's like when you put a bucket under a t of water and it gets

full and the and the bucket keeps flowing over. Can you count the amount of water you lost? And so God is about

to bring you to a place where you cannot even tell the amount of money you have in this world. Amen. Where you can't even put a figure to the

properties. There are some people you ask and say I think my house is about 27 24. God said he will take you beyond

that limit. Amen. You own houses. A time will come you can decide say I'm giving everybody one

month free rent. the whole your your your tenants of a thousand people rise up and say no there must be a God in

heaven because that God has showed himself through his servant who he blessed

because God will give you so much a blessing it will run over. You can take

this word to the bank. God will bless you. God is not a man that he should lie. Titus 1:2 says in hope of eternal

life which God that cannot lie. God that cannot. It is impossible for God to lie.

Has he promised to give you measures or has he promised to give you good measure? It will come pressed down,

shaken together and running over, it will surely be so. Hallelujah. Amen. Hebrews 6:18 says that when God

willing to let the heirs of the promise those who come and read these scriptures know that his counsel is immutable that

what he has planned can never change to which to prove that it is impossible for

God to lie. The Bible said God had to swear by two immutable things himself

and his word. Every generation he's still God. Whether we are Gen Z, Gen Q,

Gen Z, whether we are Gen FQ A B C D, it doesn't matter. He's still God. He's

still the same God they all prayed to. And so he swore by himself. And the Bible said he swore by the same word

every generation is given by the same promise every generation must hook up to.

Because it is impossible for God to lie, we can trust every word he has laid in

the scriptures for us. Amen. Romans 12:8 says, "Or that he that

exalts, let him exalt in exaltation. To him that give, let him do it with

simplicity." With what? Simplicity. Hallelujah. What? Why does he do it? He

must have his heart in the offering. He must the standard is that you must

willingly do this out of your heart trusting God that what I'm giving I'm

not throwing away that God will bring it back to me in good measure. Philippians

2:13 affirm what I said. Every time you are moved to give, every time God moves

you to give an offering that you are not so sure of it is a trap. Tell is a trap.

It's a trap to bless you too much. Hallelujah. The Bible says that he is

what? Working in us in Philippians 2:13 for it is God who works in us. In you and me both to will and to do

that which pleases him. What does it pleasing? That we are able to pay for his work on the face of this earth. It

pleases God. Tell somebody pleases God. God. I want to ask you a question. Which one

of you having sheep would want to go and eat chicken every day? Which one of you

having the abundance of your farm produce will choose not to eat from there and go and eat from where else?

Because God is responsible for your life. He expects you to show that gratitude, that recognition that you

love him also by helping his work prosper. I came to tell somebody

whenever we give we are exercising our faith and trust in God. Giving is

remembering acknowledging that God is the one that gave us the power and that this means the knowledge character and

strength to make money. The Bible says thou shalt not forget the Lord thy God for it is he that giveth thee power to

make wealth. Tell somebody power to make wealth. Hallelujah.

What has God promised? What has God determined to do for us this year?

Ladies and gentlemen, God said to tell you that he has something in his mind called good measure. He has something in

his mind called good measure. That is what God wants to give. This particular fundraising, God's going to set up a few

people into a place of abundance. Some of you have seen money small. Some have seen opportunity small. God is trying to

keep you away from needing money. God is going to surprise you. There is a

move of God. There's opportunity that would Hallelujah.

Listen, one day I just remember something. One day I I went to one of our members. She's married and gone and

I said to her when she joined the church, she wanted to get married and they said I said you cannot be in the

church for three years and remain the same. God will bless you. So first year she joined somewhere in November. Then

the year came to an end. said this year I hope God would count it and give me the whole year she couldn't get married

I kept telling her keep coming to church God will bless you then as the year was ending he said pastor the following year

that time we moved to our land at so I was praying I was praying and God said to her go and tell her she's about to

get married this year and I went at first I told her God said you're about to marry the next year she looked at me

she laughed he said pastor

they said no problem no problem. So she was coming to church and going, coming to church and going. Then one Sunday

morning she just went after we have closed. Everybody is leaving and she came back. He said pastor a man just

called me that she saw my picture on a friend status. Hallelujah. And the man

says he said I'm the wife sister for weeks.

This must be a joke.

I work at Ministry of Finance.

Sorry. The following Sunday, the man was in church. He looked like as if it was a joke. So the man s I want to marry your

daughter. I said um um um he said, "Pastor, why?" He said, "Oh no, but you

just met her. Don't you want to know her small?" He said, "Oh me, I don't know. I just know she's my wife." I said, then I

asked a second question. I said, "Can you wait for counseling?

said, "Pastor counseling 6 months." The man was like, "I live in Ara. I don't mind flying down

every week to do counseling until this marriage is ready." I said, "Are you

really serious?" He said, "Pastor, as I speak, I wanted to choose any wedding she want. I'll give her the money now.

She should pay for everything when the wedding is ready after the six months." I said

was like a joke. Before the over, the sister had the money sitting down waiting for a wedding. When the wedding

day came, the guy waited for six. The guy came and went by plane for six months.

When I went to it was honoring day like today, like yesterday when God said to tell you, God instructed me. He said,

"Tell them I have a passion of good measure for them. I have on my heart a

desire to carry many into abundance." That's what the Lord said I should tell you. I'm not making this up. He said to

tell you that I he I should tell you he has good measure on his mind. He has good measure on his mind for some people

in this church. God wants you to be so rich. You know this church I've several

dreams. I've seen I've seen dreams when I came to church and some of you you were here you were complaining pastor why don't to collect our money. I said why? Said we have plenty. We don't know

what we doing with it. I said look for problems in the church. Pastor you have solved all the problems. What do we do? It was a joke. It was a joke. God has a

plan to bless each and every member. those who are left and those who are here. There is something God is going to do in Favor Chapel International. It

will shock everybody who has lived on the face of this earth. Shamu already.

I thank God for everybody have everybody have laid hands and asked God to bless them. God has blessed them

today. I really wanted the family here because there is something going to happen for them also. Hallelujah.

Stability. Hallelujah. stability, confidence in the

provision of God for your life. Hallelujah. Amen. Elder, God is coming to do something great in your life. It will shock you.

It will shock some of you when you are coming to church. You don't know which car should you take. Which which one of the cars should I

even ride? Hallelujah. God is about to do something. When you come on Sunday, you you now want to challenge each other

with your money. And because I will not be calling some of you,000

there is something God wants to do. Every time I'm praying, God shows me the church. I see rich people. I see people

God has blessed so much. I don't understand why. I don't understand. I said, "Why so much money in the church?"

I don't know. Because because we are not chasing after money desperately like that in the church. I was like,

how you know there are ministries than us that when you come on every Sunday it's like a fundraising h because they need

it they need it to develop but we've come to a place to trust God and and

that trust he's going to do in the hearts of his people that trust is going to earn his people a place he's going to

choose some of you and all of you at different times at different situations he's going to abundantly provide

amen this sermon you remember it for the rest

of your life. Don't worry. Good measure. Good measure. What does he mean? He said he is doing it such that you can never

fail financially. He's going to add every other thing requisite. Some of you

you need self-control. Some of you the minute 10,000 hits your account you are buying all manner of

things. Some of you the minute some big money hits your account you are chopping big food. You you stop eating at normal

restaurants. You could eat now. You go to the restaurant where they charge double the price.

Hallelujah. Some of you, you know that this shirt is 10 CDs. You would go to the boutique

that will sell it for 500 or a,000. God is going to bless you such that you will

not also waste your money. Hallelujah. I'm not saying you'll be cheap. I'm not saying you be you be stingy. But I'm

saying that God would add everything that will make sure that you always multiply your money and not deplete it.

Amen. Amen. So all he said to me is tell them I have abundance on my mind for he is setting

us up for greater heights. Amen. Hallelujah. I have declared your truth before your

people. I have spoken your word Lord. Do it in their life. Do it in their life.

Psalm 84:1 says, "For the Lord is a son and a shield. The Lord God will give

grace and glory." Give what? grace and glory. No good thing. That's no good

thing. No good thing will he withhold from them that choose to look up to him. The word

upright to look up to him, to believe him for a blessing, to believe him for a

direction, to believe him for greatness, to believe him when they give. Proverbs

10:22, it is the blessings of the Lord that maketh rich. You know, people say, "I'm

not rich, I'm wealthy." People say I'm not rich. What is rich? What is rich? What is wealthy? When say somebody is wealthy, he has assets. A wealthy man

has assets. Huh? He hasn't got money, but he has assets. A lot of American millionaires you see in the world have

assets. They don't have money because the minute they have money, the government will tax them to death. Do

you understand me? You you hear this man has two. He has assets. He hasn't got

the fiscal money sitting there. The reason why they dash the money out is because if the money sits there, the government will take more than half. Are

you there? That's the tax law. So there are a lot of Americans, they are not rich, they are wealthy. They are tell

wealthy. They have assets, properties. They have houses. They are buying houses, giving the house on mortgage and rent. They keep buying properties

because the property they won't pay tax on. They keep on buying. But whoever they leave the property to, the person wants to take the property in their

name. The person has to pay the tax on the property. Have you seen? So they are wealthy. They have assets. They have planes. They have this. They have that.

But they are not rich. Physical money. They don't have. Hallelujah.

They don't have the money sitting there, but they have assets. So if they want to convert that asset into money, they can easily do it. Are you there? But when

you talk about somebody who is rich, they swim in money. Tell they swim in money. The Bible spoke of Solomon. He has so

much money that when you walk, you walked to Jerusalem, you could find gold on the street. You could find gold,

diamond and precious as if because the storehouses were where will he keep them again

and they keep more coming and more is coming. He has to put it on the floor and the people all were so rich that

they did not care for that money to steal it because the people were not poor. The

more Sinnomon became rich, the more he was not overt taxing the people. the more that if he paid for any work to any

person, he paid him double. So the people naturally gained more wealth more wealth that when they saw gold on the

street, they don't steal because they also have gold. They don't know where to put it.

Are you understanding what I'm trying to say? So when we talk about richness, we are talking about somebody who has abundance that they can ever keep. Are

you with me? And that is what Bible says. The blessings of the Lord that maketh rich and ask no sorrow. That

money will not bring you sorrow. It not bring you enemies and thieves. God blessed. Did you ever hear anywhere in

the story of Solomon that thieves came to steal from him? No. The guy has so much gold. The same ship

that he owed. The people that knew that he was bringing gold, nobody went to steal his gold. Nobody. No pirates stole

his ship. He never had losses. Why? Because it is the blessings of God that

make it rich. And it adds no disasters, no sorrow, no pain, no suffering, no

heartaches to it. I declare over your life the blessings

of God to make rich in the name of Jesus. May that richness not bring sorrow also in Jesus mighty name. 1

Chronicles the chapter 29:12 says both riches both riches and honor. It didn't

say riches and said both riches and honor come from thee, oh Lord. This is the prayer of David. When when David

called for an offering for God's temple, the way the people came to give, the people people came to give, David was shocked. He said, "Ah, God, both riches

and honor come from thee. Thou renest over all, and in thy hand is power and

might, and in their in thy hand it is to make great and to give strength unto

all." Hallelujah. David thought he was only person. But when God called for an

offering and David told him, God wants us to build a temple someday in the future when I'm dead and gone. Let's give this offering.

And the people gave so much as if the temple was going to be built tomorrow. The people gave so much. The team moved David. When David stood up to pray, he

said, "Both riches and honor come from thee." Both riches and honor come from thee.

And thou reignest over all. And in thy hand is power and might. In thy hand it

is to make great and to give strength to all those some to all. I declare in

Jesus mighty name. Amen. May this God who blessed Jerusalem, blessed David, provided proven for years

even on sin. May that God bless you in abundance grant you abundantly more than

you can ever have all the days of your life. May your children never be poor.

When they see your children, may they mention your name.

Proverbs 39 9-10 says, "Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first

fruit of all thy increase, so shall thy bands, where you store your food, be

plilled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine." I

declare in Jesus' name that whatever brings you money will increase. Whatever

brings you money will produce more money than you can ever spend in Jesus mighty

name. I pray I pray for the abundance of God over your enterprises in Jesus

mighty name. Now brothers and sisters as I bring my sermon to an end I share with

you one scripture God shared with me. One promise God has for us as we come

together in 2025 to give towards God's work in this year. God said, "Read this

scripture over their spirits." Read it over their life. God's promise to you in Joel 2:24:26. He said, "The floors shall

be full of wheat and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil and I will

restore to you the years that the locust have eaten and the cankerworm and the caterpillar and the palmer worm, my

great army which I sent among you. You shall you shall eat in you shall eat in

and be satisfied. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied. and praise the

name of the Lord your God that he had dealt wondrously with you and my people

shall never not for even one day shall never be ashamed. Lift up your hands and

begin to thank God. Somebody lift up your hand and say Lord I thank you. I receive this prophecy. I declare it in

Jesus name that what God has said concerning my prosperity that my floors will be full of wheat and my vats shall

overflow with wine and oil. Ah the God will restore everything I have lost.

Good friends, good people, good family members, anything I have lost in the

past, anything, money, land, whatever I have lost, anything God will restore for

a double. Hallelujah. I shall eat in plenty and I will be satisfied. And

praise the name of the Lord your God that had dealt wondrously with me.

Hallelujah. and my people shall never be ashamed.

Ladies and gentlemen, God's children, people who God want to set up for greatness, people that God has planned

abundance for, please, I plead with you to give. Make sure this fundraiser you

are not missing. Whether you a member, whether you are in another country, whether you listen to us on radio,

whether you listen to us on Facebook, on on YouTube, wherever you are, you listen to us, make sure you are part of this

great work. Make sure you are not missing out of this great work. Because for any man that will stand with God in

this plan for his work, he has planned to bless them. He has planned to

establish them. He has planned to walk them into abundance and extreme wealth.

God richly bless you. Bow down your head and let us pray.

[Music] I thank you Holy Spirit for your word.

I thank you for what you did yesterday, yesterday night. Thank you for how you taught me, how you insisted what should

be put in, what should be taken out. I am grateful for what you are doing in the lives of this people that while we

God that you are good God and no good thing do you withhold from them that walk uprightly that look up to you and

trust you will grant them good health with long life you would grant them strength with ability you will grant

them money with long life you will cause that miracle you are doing in their life

to be eternal, to be established so that their children's children will inherit

some of this goodness because you have a plan for overflow. You have a plan for abundance. You have a plan for more than

sufficient for them. We thank you. We bless you in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit. Amen.

Some of you very soon you'll be looking for more children because you have abundance you can't

handle. Some of you if I'm not careful you will start marrying too. I'm telling you what I see I see so much blessings

coming in your lives. Some of you be so the office the money itself will tell you to do things. Sometimes it people

say things about you I will not be able to answer. Why? Because you have abundantly reached that place of

greatness. I thank you God for this you are doing in our history. For this you are doing in our church. For this you

are doing in your own church. For this you are doing the lives of your people. We bless you. We thank you for helpers,

for partners, for people that will stand with this church through thick and thin and not give up on the work. We bless

you and thank you in Jesus' name. Amen. Give a clap offering unto Jesus.

Please take out an offering for God. Please take out an offering for God.

Oh Jesus, let us not be weary in welloing in good works. For in due season we shall reap

if we faint. Now I speak over your seed that it will go and come back measures

pressed down, shaken together, and extremely running over in Jesus' name.
