TCA Thu20Jun24 - @myaltar 4 (Meditate) - Apst J Sitrhole

The transcription is about the power of targeted meditation. It explains that meditation is a way to draw power from the altar, and it should be done with specific targets in mind. The speaker emphasizes the importance of speaking and thinking the word of God repeatedly, focusing on areas of need or areas of vision. The example of Abraham is given as a role model for targeted confession. The speaker advises listeners to identify their needs and fill their minds with words related to those needs, confessing them daily. This targeted meditation is compared to a prescription from a doctor, and it is said to be necessary for overcoming chronic problems and avoiding discouragement and failure. Bless the Lord, oh bless the Lord For He's merciful and good forever Bless the Lord, oh bless the Lord He is faithful and good Bless the Lord, oh bless the Lord For He's merciful and good forever Bless the Lord, oh bless the Lord He is faithful and good forever Bless the Lord, oh bless the Lord For He's merciful and good forever Bless the Lord, oh bless the Lord He is faithful and good forever Bless the Lord, oh bless the Lord For He's merciful and good forever Bless the Lord, oh bless the Lord He is faithful and good forever Kingdom greetings and hashtag at my altar. Ladies and gentlemen, we are at this very important one. We spoke about the hashtag at my altar. That is number one. At the altar, heaven meets earth. Number two, at the altar, pledges and offerings are made right there on the altar. Number three, I draw power for all around success at the altar. Number four, I create a lifestyle according to my desires at the altar. Number five, my destiny book is revealed and fulfilled at the altar. Now we are on number four. I draw power for all around success at my altar. We said power is available at the altar. And we said there are two kinds of altars. You have the physical altar, which is your prayer altar, your church, it's an altar. And also yourself, your mobile altar, human being, it's a mobile altar. Even your five-fold agent as a dispenser of blessings is a working altar. And therefore, we read Ephesians 3.20. That says God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above what we think or ask for according to the power that works in us. We said, okay, there is that power in our spirit. Our spirit is so perfect, it has all the power we need in life. But the challenge now comes where we need to draw that power into areas of need. So we need to know how to develop the infrastructure that can draw power, draw the power, the infrastructure of drawing power into areas of need. And we came to a very serious point. A point where we said now meditation is a way of drawing power. Meditation. And we came to the point that now where we say, how do we do meditation? Because meditation is the way that we draw power from our altar. How do I draw power? Through meditation. And we started defining what meditation is. And we showed how, we started talking about meditation. Then we spoke about the five gates which power enters into our lives. Which is our ears, our thoughts, also our mouth. We draw that power. Now, I want us to look at now, when you draw power, you need to have what we call targeted meditation. Amen. Amen. You don't just do meditation, but you have to have what we call targeted meditation. What is that targeted meditation? We will read Joshua 1. Let's read verse 8. Joshua 1.8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou might observe to do according to all that is written therein. For then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Amen. Now, these are generic words. You will make your way prosperous, and you will have good success. Now, as a human being, you have areas where you see there is failure. And you have areas where you see there is success. So, in your meditation, you don't concentrate on areas of success. You just maintain those areas of success. But if you start now focusing on areas where there is failure, you target those areas. Then you meditate targeting those areas where you know these areas need to change. These areas need to be transformed. Amen. As an individual. Number two. You don't just target the areas of your life where you need success. You also target the vision that you get from your man of God. And you begin to meditate along those lines. Amen. I want to repeat this one because it is important. Targeted meditation will always go into areas where I don't have success as an individual. But at the same time, the second thing is targeted meditation will always target areas of vision. The vision that I get from my man of God, I begin to target those areas and begin to work on those areas, meditate around those areas, so that I get success in the vision. Then I get success again in areas of my life. Amen. Now, let's just look at how meditation works. God says to Joshua, thou shalt meditate upon this word, but you will meditate, just read again verse 8, so that we may understand how to meditate. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night. Okay. I want this one only. This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth. Thou shalt meditate upon it day and night. Now, what is meditation? Meditation is to speak aloud. Meditation is you speak the word of God aloud. You speak it. And meditation, again, is to matter the word of God. In other words, you meditate upon, you think upon the word of God. And after thinking around the word of God, then begin to speak the word of God. And it must be a repeated thing every day. Frequency. The Bible says day and night. It must be repeated day and night. That is the frequency. You repeat these things day and night. But you must get the word in your mind. And after getting that word, you begin to speak it aloud. You speak it aloud. You speak it. You chant it. You confess it. You say it. And as you say it, you think. Now, it means that now, it must be in your thoughts. And also, it must be in your mouth. And when it comes out from your mouth, it attacks your ears again. You hear the word of God or you read the word of God. Then, you begin to get into your mind. And from your mind, you start speaking it. And as you speak it, you hear it over and over again. That is meditation. So, you don't just take a verse like that in Genesis that says, Soul and soul beget soul and soul. And soul and soul beget Matusale. And Matusale live for 920 years and whatever and so on. You begin to meditate this. You don't meditate such. You do what we call targeted meditation. If you have what we call, write this down because it's important. If you have what we call a need, a material need. Say for instance, you need a hundred thousand. That is the need that is in your life to settle some things or to pay some things. You are under pressure and all those things. And therefore, now you take a word that promises you, that gives you the promise of money. And you take it and you begin to read it. You hear it and you begin to confess it every day, frequently. Amen. Amen. You begin to confess it frequently, every day. And then, until that word produces. So, in other words, that is targeted. If it's an area of sickness, you take the word of God concerning that area of healing. And you begin now to confess healing. You begin to think of healing. Take healing word. Every morning, you take healing words. You listen to healing words. Words that concerning healing. You listen to different speakers and even sermons. And everything you read about healing, health and everything like that. And it fills your mind. And when it fills your mind, then you start speaking it. You start chanting it. You start confessing it. And you hear it. That is meditation. So, you don't just meditate generally. You meditate. You do what we call targeted meditation. Now, the role model of targeted confession was Abraham. Abraham was a role model of a targeted confession. A meditation around issues. He would meditate around those issues and so on. So, what was Abraham's need? Abraham read everything, but he didn't have a child. So, he didn't concentrate on areas where he was weak. He concentrated on areas where he wanted a breakthrough. From his youth and his adulthood and so on. He was staying on one thing. Frequently repeating it. Amen. So, what is my need as a person? I must target the area of my need. And begin to fill my mind with those words around my need. And begin to confess it. And say it. And say it. And say it. And say it. And say it. Every day. Amen. Because if I don't do that, I'm not going to survive. Amen. I'm not going to survive if I don't do that. The result will be I get discouraged. I get depressed. And I wander away in failure. Always I get discouraged. I get depressed. Let me just put it in another way. If I'm believing God. If I'm single and I'm believing God for a life partner. That is the area of need. I must write it down and start now. Look at the verses that promises me a life partner. And a good one to that matter. And I begin to look at those verses. Get it into my system. And I begin to confess that. Every day is a regiment. It's a prescription from a doctor. Kingdom doctor. Am I talking to somebody? When you get to a doctor and say, well, I'm suffering from this sickness. Then the doctor will begin to give you a regiment. It gives you a prescription. It gives you a prescription. Take this five times a day. This one three times a day. This one five, and so on. So there are certain needs and certain problems that have become chronic problems. You didn't hear me. If I have flu today. If I have flu today. And so on. I go to a doctor. And doctor gives me a prescription. Antibiotics and whatever. And so on. And more zinc and more vitamin C. Whatever. All those things. And so on. And he says, you take these things so many times a day. You take this thing so many times a day. And he said, for seven days you will be fine. But take that consideration. Then I do that. I'm taking a regiment. And after seven days, flu is gone. Amen. But now, that flu is just a temporal thing. It's just a seasonal thing. But now, there could be a chronic condition in my body. Chronic condition like what? Sugar diabetes. Chronic condition like what? High blood pressure. Chronic, you know, it's chronic. And what is chronic? Chronic is something that threatens to stay with you for life. That is chronic. So, I must also take medication to control a chronic situation. But in the kingdom of God, I don't take medication to control. I take medication of the word of God in meditation to heal and to remove. Amen. I hope somebody heard me. Amen. Now, that is targeted meditation. Now, let's look at the life of Abraham. Abraham, Romans 4, 19-22. Romans 4, 19-22. It tells us about the life of Abraham around targeted meditation. Romans 4, 19-22. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead. When he was about 100 years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb, he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully persuaded that what he had promised he was able also to perform. And therefore, it was imputed to him for righteousness. Amen. I want you to start at 19. That's something that you swallowed today. It did not come out right. Okay. And being not weak in faith, he considered... Yes, I wanted that one. Being not weak in faith. Being not weak in faith. So, what was Abraham's targeted area of meditation? It was the deadness of Sarah's womb and his deadness around and believing God for a child. That was the area of targeted meditation. So, they needed to be strong in what? In faith. To be what? Strong in faith. Let's go to Joshua chapter 1 again. Looking at meditation. What does Joshua chapter 1 say, starting from 6? Be strong and of a good courage, for unto these people shall thou divide for an inheritance the land which I swear unto thy fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous. Stop there. Stop there. Twice, God is saying be strong and be courageous. So, Abraham was strong in faith, not weak in faith. Amen. So, to be strong. Strong in what? In faith. And faith for what? I mean faith. Faith for what? For that particular need. That targeted need. He was strong in faith. Faith for what? He was strong in faith, yes. But faith for what? Faith for a child. That targeted area. So, I must be strong in faith in that targeted area. That I know this area, I have a need in this area. So, I must meditate around it so that I can be strong in faith around it. Because if I'm weak in faith in that area, I will be discouraged in that area. And I'll be depressed in that area. But I must always be strong in faith in that particular area of my need. Amen. Hallelujah. And after I have achieved that in that area, I don't need to be strong in that faith because I don't need to be in faith for that thing. I'm now. The issue is promises. The promises of God are realized by faith. Our potential is released by faith. Problems are solved by faith. Potential is unlocked by faith. Every man with an assignment around revival, morals, and wealth. I'm very sensitive in those areas. I'm very sensitive in those areas. If I find anyone, any moving soul, I put revival there. If I find any moving soul, I'll be talking wealth and making sure that wealth, you sit under this ministry and poverty will never be your portion. Issues of morals and integrity are a priority here. It's an issue of faith. Amen. Look, one needs to be strong in faith. Even if when I get into a bookshop, nothing affects me. It's revival. It's wealth. It's morals. It's health. That's me. And I have my personal needs. Where I will feed my faith around my personal needs, then I become strong. Amen. Hallelujah. So don't be weak. Don't build the target areas where you know. Now, let's look at Abraham. The Bible says he was not weak in faith, but he was strong in faith. How did Abraham achieve this? Let's look at the life of Abraham. Number one, Abraham, God gave him a promise and he said to him, your assignment in life, your children will be so innumerable like the stars in the sky and sand at the seashore and so on, and your children, you'll be a father of all nations and therefore your children will possess nations and so on in the area of that. So he believed God for children. Amen. Because God gave him a promise. So he took that promise and started repeating it upon his life. But now, God realized, this guy is not going to repeat the promise and he's going to be weak in faith. And God changed his name from Abraham to Abraham and he changed the name of Sarah, Sarai to Sarah, meaning that father, Abraham meaning that father of nations. Sarah simply means mother of nations. What was God doing here? God was trying, in fact he was not trying, he did it. He wanted frequency of meditation. Amen. And how did that frequency come? God knew that, okay, this guy might get discouraged and never even have that frequency of meditation so let's change the name. When he wakes up, sometimes he's still asleep and then the wife will say, hey, Abraham, wake up. Meaning father of nations, then he says yes. And when he calls Sarah, he says Sarah, mother of all nations. Now, every day, every day, they would hear these people calling them father of all nations, mother of all nations and themselves calling themselves father of all nations, mother of all nations and they ask you, who's your name? I'm a father of all nations. What is your name? What is your name? I'm a father of all nations. Frequency repeating the same thing. Thou shall make, these words shall not depart from where? From your mouth. So, the words of their fathers, the promise did not depart from their mouth. They kept on calling it. It did not depart from their mouth and as long as they were calling it, they were hearing it. And faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Repetitious hearing, hearing and hearing the word of God. Frequency. And the frequency is day and night. Now, with Abraham, it was worse. It was not just day and night. Everywhere, Abraham. Everywhere, Abraham. Father Abraham. Now, every day, every minute, this word was repeated. And he kept on hearing it and that's why he became so strong in faith. Meditate in faith. Hallelujah. The next aspect of meditation in faith, you must know that whatever you meditate on is not just chanting. It is affecting you. You didn't hear me. Whatever you are taking into your mind and whatever you are saying, it is affecting you. Chapter 1, verse 3. But let's start it from verse 2 so that we can understand what's happening there. Psalm 1 from 2. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law does he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit in his season. His leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Amen. Okay. Okay, let's start from one now so that we may understand this man. This man is a very powerful man. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor seated in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law does he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit in his season. His leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Amen. Amen. Now, the Bible says blessed is the man who does not stand in the way of sinners, and who does not sit in the seat of the scornful. But he meditates in the law of God day and night. Look at the do's and don'ts. If I'm meditating on a targeted area, okay, I don't spend, I don't spend time with the ungodly, and I don't sit in the seat of the scornful. Let me just, the ungodly, who are the ungodly? The ungodly is these people, they want to, they are not married, and they don't believe God for marriage. There are people who have decided, we don't believe in that. Well, it's a question of choice, okay? It's a question of what? Choice. So, everybody who is not believing what I'm believing is ungodly in that area. I repeat, if you are not believing for wealth, when I have no reason to stand with you, fellowship with you, why? Because you don't, we are not on the same page, Naluena. You see, we are not on the same page. So, why should I be in your company? So I can't stand with you, and I can't stand you. Amen. Amen. Let me repeat this, I can't stand with you, and I can't stand you. Amen. We are just not on the same page. So, whether I have no reason to be talking to you, and I'm not believing God for wealth, so, I have no reason to spend time with you. Because when I'm not believing God for wealth, I can't stand with you, and I can't stand you. Amen. When I'm not believing God for wealth, I can't stand you, and I can't stand you. Everything that is not healthy is your wealth. So, I have no reason to even come to your house and eat with you. Because your food is contrary to what I believe. You don't believe in health. You see, when I don't believe in this thing, our sex before marriage is sin, you don't believe that. You believe in just sleeping around and everything like that. So, I don't have a reason. Your morals are not in place. We are not talking about the same morality. You don't tell me sexual issues and everything. We talk about staying and no sex before marriage, and then you talk about issues of sexual life. You don't know whether you must be married to one wife and stick to be faithful to your wife or to your husband. And everything like that. When I'm not believing God for wealth, I can't stand you, and I can't stand you. So, I can't stand you. I can't stand you. I can't stand you. I can't stand you. I can't stand you. I can't stand you. I can't stand you. There are people who are like that. They don't believe in God and all those things and everything like that. So, I don't have a reason to fellowship with such. Amen. Amen. I don't have a reason to fellowship with such. And the Bible says I don't even have to sit with them, spend time with them. That's what I'm for. I'm a generous person. I believe in giving because giving gives me profit. Giving is something that takes my life to a higher level. And I have no reason to be fellowshipping with the scorners who will scorn and complain. I have no reason. Amen. Am I talking to somebody? Amen. Amen. There is no reason to be sitting around and talking about people who say, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you
