Sunday Service || Taking Possession in 2026 (Jan 25) || Dr. Joe Tarkon

``Psalm 16 verse five. It say, oh lord, you are my portion. You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You maintain my lot. God preserves what belongs to you. He preserves it. Whatever is yours, what does God do? He preserves what belongs to you. He preserves your lot. That which is yours, that relationship, that job, that opportunity, that business endeavor, that is yours. God preserves it for you. And somebody may be sitting on it right now, and your responsibility is to make sure that you possess it because God is the one that preserves your lot. Amen. Aren't you happy that God will preserve yours? Yeah. He will preserve what belongs to you. Amen. Now you've got to possess the land. The plan of God for you is that you must possess it. Jeremiah 29 verse 11, what does it say? I know the thought that I think towards you. [00:45:45] (56 seconds)  #GodPreservesYourPortion

Why is that important? Why is that important? If two of you on earth agree on something, why is that important? That means corporate prayers is very important. Look at somebody and say corporate prayers. Corporate prayers. You can pray alone. Yes. It's important. You can do it. They say if two of you shall agree and you pray together in agreement, he said my father will do it. He said because two are better than one, isn't it? He said one will chase a thousand and two will chase 10,000. And that's why when we invite people for corporate prayers, don't say, well, I can pray alone in my room. Yeah, you can play pray alone in your room if you don't have a choice. But when we invite people for corporate prayer, that is very critical because the results you get in corporate prayer is more than what you will get when you pray alone.

And I want you to turn away completely so that you can enter and possess. And how you gotta do it? I mean, fight your way through in the place of prayer. Fight your way through. Every single day, engage in warfare. Are you listening to me? Every single day, engage in warfare. Don't say, well, I'm too strong. I don't need to fight. I'm too strong. It belongs to me. No. Personal prayer and discipline and fastings. No. Engage in it so that God will help you to possess your possession in 2026. [01:24:29] (40 seconds)  #PrayLikeAWarrior

You can't enter the house of a strong man and plunder his goods except you first bind the strong man. And I told you, I said the word in Deuteronomy chapter 11 verse 10 and verse 11, where it says that you are going to possess the land. Look at what it means. I checked it in its original meaning. That word they possess, it says, is to occupy by driving out a previous tenant. To seize it, to rob, to expel, and to cast out without fail. Do you see that?

And when you look at the new testament, even when Jesus Christ sent out his disciples, how did he send them out? Send them in twos. Because two are always better than than one. So if you are going to get your possessions this year, you may need to fight. You may need to fight. You may need to fight. I do not want you to compromise with the enemy. Because compromise is terrible. You've got to displace and dislodge the powers that occupy the place that belongs to you, the position that belongs to you. Do not compromise with sicknesses or diseases. Don't compromise. Do not compromise with poverty because poverty is bad. Do not compromise with idolatry because it is bad. Do not compromise with iniquity because it is bad. It will destroy you gradually. Do not. [01:15:51] (64 seconds)  #NoCompromiseWithEvil

the breastplate of righteousness. So you've got to live a righteous life if you want to engage in warfare. The next one, he said have your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Evangelism is a weapon. Did you know that? Evangelism is a weapon. I remember many years ago, I entered a car and I after I entered that vehicle, I was coming from Calabar. I was going to my hometown, I come. And I entered that vehicle, commercial vehicle, and then it dawned on me that these guys may be kidnappers. Fear gripped me. Guess what I did? I just started preaching in the car. I started evangelizing immediately because evangelism is a weapon. Are you following this passage? It say your feet with the weapon of fear. The and the preparation of the gospel of peace. And it say above all, take on the shield of faith, [01:05:44] (48 seconds)  #EvangelismIsAWeapon

There are some battles you will fight in order to get there. Because have you seen people who they have everything, but yet their life is not together. Even Jacob who was blessed, even Jacob who came from a patriarchal prodigiously wealthy family. Even for Jacob to enjoy the blessings that God had provided for him, he had to fight his way through. And in Genesis chapter 32, on that final battle, he engaged God himself a theophany. He had to engage him in battle and say, if you don't bless me, I will not let you go. And that's what I wanna talk about briefly this morning and see how far we can go. [00:49:48] (38 seconds)  #WrestleForYourBlessing

You begin to rebuke the forces that are occupying that are taking that are taking habitation in your business, in relationship, in the lives of your children. I hope I'm making sense to you this morning. We begin to rebuke it. He said, therefore, take on the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day. And having done all, what do you do? You stand. It begins to give us the armor. [01:03:15] (21 seconds)  #StandInGodsArmor
