But hold on a sec not because you are a child of God it means that we will always get the blessings God has for us. Some of some of us even now in 2026 are hijacking your own blessing. Because of your own bad ways or bad habits or bad associations that results in a disconnection with God. Which in essence, get this, blocks our access to certain blessings God has waiting for us. Unless you think I'm coming with a prosperity message, watch it. Watch it. It's not prosperity. [01:21:58] (46 seconds)  #StopHijackingYourBlessings

But when they cry out to God, hallelujah, God in his grace and mercy has a way of turning things around for our good when we decide, get this, to seek after him. And is there anybody here who's thankful on the first Sabbath of twenty twenty six to say, we serve a turn around God. Can you reflect on 2025 and declare today that we serve a turnaround God. Somebody say yes. For even in our mess, he comes and turn things around into a miracle. [01:23:01] (43 seconds)  #GodTurnsItAround

And we sit down like we're doing God a favor. You come with your sad self. Sitting in your sad seat, but the mere fact that you cannot be six feet above your grave. Can anybody just give god thanks? There's a roof up above you. Find place to sleep. Food on your table. Shoes on your feet. Can anybody testify today? I'm not dead. But I'm alive. Touch your neighbor and say neighbor. I'm alive. Wave your hands to god. Thank you for making me alive. Will somebody say amen? [01:38:37] (41 seconds)  #GratefulToBeAlive

So when God puts I won't be long. I I only got twenty five minutes. I'm almost there. But when God puts his favor, that's my resolution. Shortest sermons. When God puts his favor on you, he will bless you double for your trouble. When God really has his favor on your life, he'll give you double for your trouble. Hallelujah. Because sometimes our biggest blessings come out of some of our most burdensome prayers. [01:40:35] (31 seconds)  #DoubleForYourTrouble

We're moving to our ten days of prayer. Anybody can testify from last year to this year? You you sometime God shows up in the most critical times. Of your life. When your friends and your boys are no longer around and you think light, you're reaching rock bottom. God becomes the rock at the bottom. Come on and say amen. Amen. Come on and say praise the lord. [01:41:06] (27 seconds)  #GodIsMyRock

Jabez keeps the bible says Jabez says, Lord keep your what? Come on everybody lift up your hand. Say hand, hand, hand. Keep your hand on me. That know what? Evil may not harm me because the fact of the matter is sometimes when we get a lot of blessings we tend to try to get ourselves in problems. For more money they say more problems and taxes. [01:49:26] (30 seconds)  #ProtectedByHisHand

Jabez was saying sister Kahon, keep the evil in me from me. Because sometimes it's us that mess us up. Hello? Am I not talking to somebody? Sometimes it's us that mess us up. Nobody else got yourself in that mess. Nobody else has that mean attitude. Nobody else is respectful to leaders or friends and family. Nobody else is move shutting around like your your miss miss or misjudgment of all nation. Nobody else get themselves in the issues that they are in, just you. So Jabez says, Lord, as you put your hand on me, keep me from me. [01:50:14] (49 seconds)  #KeepMeFromMe

Jabez was what Jabez was birthed in trauma. Somebody say trauma. Headaches his mother had for him. Struggle and trouble. So Jabez is saying, Lord, save me from me. Keep your hands on me. Because I lose my mind sometimes. Keep your hands on me. Because my mouth says crazy things. Keep your hands on me so the blessings can keep flowing. Don't stop touching my mind. Don't stop touching my mouth. Don't stop touching my eyes. Don't stop touching my heart. In fact, lord, touch all of me. Change my life. Let it be consecrated. [01:51:07] (46 seconds)  #KeepYourHandsOnMe
