Night Of Bliss South Africa with Pastor Chris
Friday 22nd January, 2016

Before you were born, everything & every situation you are going to face was on record. God had it on record. Nature disproves the attitude of whatever will be will be. No farm becomes a farm until someone works on it. You can't say whatever God has for me will be. God teaches us to do something about our lives. It's not going to work before your believe. There is more to be done for something to work and happen in your life.


Christianity is not about being saved from sin. Jesus didn't come to deliver or save us. Did anybody ever go to school to be a student in life? Salvation from Jesus was for a reason.

And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
Deuteronomy 6:23 KJV

He saved you not to flea from the devil, He saved you to give you something. In Christianity we are given some something.

Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,   To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Acts 26:17-18 KJV

The Gospel is a means to an end. There is inheritance in Christianity. You might be ignorant about who you are in Christ, but you are not poor.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.  The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Romans 8:14-16 KJV

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Romans 8:17 KJV

God does not see you broke, sick, helpless - for you a joint heir with Christ. God's plan is to make you and Jesus become one.

When reading the bible notice the tenses whether it's talking to you or about you.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:  Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:  According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Ephesians 1:1-4 KJV

And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled  In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
Colossians 1:21-22 KJV

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:5-6 KJV

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Ephesians 1:4-5 KJV

In Christianity the way the demon sees Jesus that is the way he sees you.
Every Christian is a deliverer!

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.  In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Ephesians 1:6-7 KJV

Be anxious for nothing. Goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life. I know who I am.

Predestined means pre-planned. Predestination is at work in me, where God goes I will go.

Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;  Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:  That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Ephesians 1:8-12 KJV

Take charge of you life. Filter your thoughts. I am full of the wisdom of God.

Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;  Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:  In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,  Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.  Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,  Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;  That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,  And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,  Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,  Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:  And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,  Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Ephesians 1:8-9, 13-23 KJV

Jesus was appointed heir for a purpose. The success or failure of another person shouldn't define you. Turn away your eyes from darkness. Christ in you the hope of glory. There is a purpose for your life. Don't take your life as nothing. Reconstruct your life. Have high expectations, think big. Don't let anyone put a limit on you. Don't be afraid to be a testimony of who you are in Christ Jesus. In the word of God, you are predestined. He has set the theme already. Don't try to become. What somebody thinks doesn't change who I am.

If you are born again you are royalty. If you are Christian regardless of your job, you are royalty. My riches are not defined by the amount of rands I have.

Jesus is more than a saviour. Jesus is everything. Turn your eyes up on Jesus
There is something about that Name. Have no fear because He's with you and He's for you.

At the centre of it all it's You that I see
There is power in your Name
Miracles happen in Your Name
As we lift our voice to praise
You're greater than the greatest
You are bigger than the biggest
You are stronger than the strongest
You are higher than the highest

And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.  And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.  And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
Acts 9:32-34 KJV

And there they preached the gospel.  And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:  The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,  Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
Acts 14:7-10 KJV.
