The journey of faith often begins with a departure from what is familiar but limiting. Just as the children of Israel were led out of Egypt, a place symbolic of sin, captivity, and self-dependence, believers are called to leave behind old ways. This departure signifies a release from the bondage of godlessness and hedonistic worship, moving into a new consciousness of God's presence and righteousness. It is a divine rescue from a life without hope, where one's spirit was once dead to the things of God. [58:46]
Jude 1:5 (ESV)
"Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe."
Reflection: What old habits, thought patterns, or dependencies from your past "Egypt" do you sense God is inviting you to fully release today?
Entering a new season with God requires a complete turning over of a new leaf, moving beyond a carnal life. The carnal mind, focused on self and worldly desires, cannot truly please God; it is, in fact, enmity against Him. This mindset operates by its own laws, driven by feelings and the "just do it" mantra, rather than authentic discipleship and brokenness before God. To truly walk with God, one must recognize and shut the door on this self-centered way of living, allowing the Spirit to guide affections and thoughts. [01:09:22]
Romans 8:5-8 (ESV)
"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God."
Reflection: When you consider your daily choices, where do you notice your mind being set on the "things of the flesh" rather than the "things of the Spirit"? What is one practical step you can take to reorient your focus?
The new land God leads His people into is not merely a physical place, but His specific, tailor-made will for each life. This divine plan encompasses every aspect of one's future—career, relationships, health, finances, and purpose—and was established even before birth. God is not improvising; He has already laid out a path of peace, a tangible future filled with hope. Understanding this truth allows one to step into the new territory with confidence, knowing that God has discovered, explored, and prepared it. [01:23:23]
Jeremiah 29:11 (ESV)
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
Reflection: Reflect on an area of your life where you feel uncertain about the future. How might embracing God's pre-established, customized plan for you transform your perspective and actions in that area?
Unlike the land of Egypt, where one had to water the ground by foot through personal struggle and self-effort, the new land is one where God Himself provides. It is a land of hills and valleys that drinks water from the rain of heaven, a place the Lord cares for with His eyes always upon it. This signifies that God is actively involved in sustaining and blessing His people, ensuring that no human obstacle can stop what He is about to do. His provision comes from above, a testament to His faithful remembrance of His promises, even through generations of waiting and suffering. [01:19:11]
Deuteronomy 11:10-12 (ESV)
"For the land that you are entering to take possession of it is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot, like a garden of vegetables. But the land that you are going over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water by the rain from heaven, a land that the Lord your God cares for. The eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year."
Reflection: In what specific situation are you currently relying on your own efforts, and how might you intentionally shift your focus to trust God's heavenly provision and care instead?
To "possess the land" means to actively occupy, drive out, seize, and expel any opposing forces without fear. This is not a passive inheritance but a call to engage in spiritual battle for what God has designed. The enemy, having studied God's movements and the potential for greatness in believers, often fights early to prevent them from amounting to anything. However, the weapons of this warfare are spiritual, not carnal, and are wielded in the spirit to achieve permanent results. It is a declaration that no one can keep you out of your divine inheritance. [01:45:39]
Deuteronomy 2:24 (ESV)
"‘Arise, set out, and pass through the Valley of the Arnon. Behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to take possession, and contend with him in battle."
Reflection: What specific area of your life or calling do you feel the enemy is actively resisting, and what spiritual weapon (e.g., prayer, fasting, declaration of scripture) will you intentionally use this week to contend for God's promised possession?
2026 is presented as a distinct season — a promised terrain prepared by God and already scouted on behalf of those who follow him. Drawing from Deuteronomy and the testimony of Moses, the congregation is reminded that the land ahead differs radically from Egypt, a biblical symbol for carnality, self-reliance, and spiritual stagnation. Entry into this new territory requires decisive dispossession: the abandonment of worldly habits, the breaking of yokes, and the intentional pursuit of obedience so that God’s “early and latter rain” may fall. The narrative emphasizes that many have been rescued from bondage only to carry its mentality into freedom; genuine progress demands inner transformation, not merely outward affiliation.
God’s plan for each life is portrayed as bespoke, predestined before birth and safeguarded across generations. Historical anchors — Abraham, Joseph, and the wilderness journey — demonstrate that God remembers covenant promises even when seasons of delay and testing persist. Believers are therefore called not to frantic self-effort but to faithful partnership: trust God’s timing, steward one’s calling, and refuse the old strategies that won’t thrive in the new land. Spiritual warfare is reframed — possessing God’s promises means engaging the occupying powers in the spirit, not by carnal means, using prayer and prophetic obedience as primary instruments.
Finally, there is a clear summons to active faith: contend for what is ordained, speak God’s declarations against demonic agendas, and receive what God has already prepared. The claim on God’s goodness is both declarative and practical — confessing possession, practicing holiness, and participating in the corporate rhythms (prayer, fasting, proclamation) that open heaven’s provision. The year ahead is held up as a season of harvest, healing, and inheritance for those who leave Egypt behind and move in step with God’s revealed will.
Because many times, you think you can control the outcome. No. You can't con don't we tell people, don't open that door because once you open that door, you don't know where you will end. Are you listening to me? I'm talking to some people here. You are hearing what I'm saying? Don't don't try it. You think you can control you can control the events that will happen after that. No, honey. You can't. Because the devil is much older than you. He's been around for over six thousand years.

A life of me and Egypt is a place where your idol is yourself. Your your God is your flesh. It is how you feel. In fact, you live by the Nike mantra, just do it. If you like it, you do it. That's Egypt for you. You live by that mantra. So you have never come to a place of authentic, listen to me, authentic discipleship and brokenness.

The bible said that he made sure they did not enter the promised land until everybody that needed to die in the wilderness had died. Nobody will stop you from entering where you should get. Some of you don't wanna say that amen properly. You're not hearing me. Nobody must stop you from entering there in the name of Jesus. And you must not stop yourself because your greatest battle is with yourself. The the greatest fight you will have to fight is the fight with yourself.

#FightWithYourself
Because God has already brought you out of the land of Egypt. Listen. Some of you take your your salvation for granted. See, salvation is a battle of life and death. Some of you would have been dead today if God did not save you. Am I speaking to somebody here today? You'd have been dead. Somebody like me, I would have died a long time ago because I was very adventurous.

You did things for yourself. But God is saying that in this new land that you're going to, I will do things for you. Glory to God. Me that passage again. He said, in this land, he said, I will be the one who want he said, your warriors will come from heaven. Your rain will come from where? What does that tell you? No man can stop what God is about to do in your life. It's coming. It's coming. Don't waste your time.

#GodWillDoItForYou
is the will of God for your life in 2026. Did you hear me? That's what this land is. When he says, I will give you the land. It is the will of God for your life. Because understand this, the children of Israel was the church today's church that have come to Christ in the wilderness in the old testament. So we are the church in the old testament. So when God says, I will give you the land. He's not giving you the land of the Middle East, the land of Palestine, the land of Israel. He's giving you the land that is his will for your life.

When I went through immigration crisis, I read a lot of immigration documents. I read laws and all of that judgments. One of the guys, top guy in immigration who was telling his story, he too was on removal proceedings. He was in removal proceedings, but he overcame that, settled down, got himself, and rose through the rank. God will lift you up through the ranks in Jesus name. God will give you the land.

Oh, come on. I belong where I am. When I finish with this message, when I finish this series, God will give you a new mindset. Because some of you are places where you are still you are tentative.

I don't need to answer you. I belong here.
