NATURE TESTIFIES WHO WE ARE (2024-0807) PASTOR HERBERT MAKOBA

Glory to Jesus Christ, our hero is love and hero is love We give glory to him, such was his glory Glory to Jesus Christ, our hero is love and hero is love Chapter 14, which are already from verse 30 to 31 Then the book of Psalms chapter 114 And already from verse 1 to 8 That's right, that is it So let's start from the book of Exodus It says like this Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians And Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians And the people feared the Lord and they believed the Lord and his servant Moses Let me also read the book of Psalms 114 Verse 1 to 8 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language Judah was his sanctuary and Israel his dominion The sea saw it and fled Jordan was driven back The mountains skipped like rams and the little hills like lambs What e'er did thee or thou see that thou fledest Thou Jordan that thou was driven back Mountains that you skipped like rams And you little hills like lambs Trembled thou at the presence of the Lord At the presence of the God of Jacob Which turned the rock into standing water The flint into a fountain of water Dear our Heavenly Father Where two or three are gathered You promised that I am in their midst Father here we are Man cannot live by bread alone But by every word that proceeds from your mouth So therefore God Combine with us here Through your word Give us the best So Father Because that's what you are doing to your children And we are among them We are one of those groups Here in Sironko So Father We are expecting The blessings From you To us Regardless of mistakes Or whatever we have erred against you We know that you also come along with your blood To cleanse us And forgive us So Father The honor and the glory is thine And those who will be also listening to this message From different places May they receive spiritual and physical blessings In Jesus name Lord I pray Amen Let us be seated Praise the Lord Okay We have read from the book of Exodus chapter 14 Then We have gone to chapter 114 That we have added again 100 on top To 14 Chapter 14 of Exodus That means Coming out Chapter 14 means Okuva Or coming out That's right But now Psalms Again singing We sing about what? So we have gone to 114 We have put 100 on top But talking on the same thing Amen Talking on the same thing Of the children of Israel Coming out of Egypt In Exodus 14 In Psalms 114 It is now a question again It's talking about the history It's something which passed When Israel went out That's what they did When the sea saw them That's what happened When Jordan saw them It happened When the mountains saw them They danced They skipped Amen Praise the Lord Amen So This is in nature I can see the mountains I'm seeing the wind I'm seeing the hills I'm seeing the sky Everything was there So what do I want to talk about? I want to talk about Nature Testifies who we are That's our subject Praise the Lord Nature testifies who we are That's what I'm going to talk about Amen So that you might know Your power The love of God on you The authority And what He has imposed on you Amen And has trusted you Exactly So God We are His friends God We are co-workers God We are His company God We are His children God We are His witnesses Amen He said to the disciples When the whole town in Jerusalem Tell you in Jerusalem Till you are endured with the Holy Spirit And when He will come upon you You will be my witnesses So God we are His witnesses God We are His bride Amen God We are His precious stone Praise the Lord We are so many titles to God That He has put on us Amen So here Let's see Nature testifies who we are Nature should listen to us Nature should testify about us Ok now a long time ago In those times of the Bible times As we talk about them God came in Egypt So when He came in Egypt He did a great work The Bible says As we read in the book of Exodus We have seen chapter 30 I mean chapter 14 Verse 30 says like that He said that it was a great work He said that is how the Lord saved Israel That day out of the hand of the Egyptians And Israel saw the Egyptians dead Upon the seashore And Israel saw that great work Which the Lord did upon the Egyptians And the people feared the Lord And believed the Lord So when they saw What God did They feared the Lord They gave Him respect They believed Him It's because What they saw What did they see They saw Nature Killing others But respecting others Amen They saw Right in Egypt They saw Frogs They saw Flies They saw So many things They saw snakes They saw rain They saw sunshine They saw locusts So many things Praise the Lord So what are we talking about? Nature Now this is how it happened Let me pick a portion around that place That place called the Red Sea Red Sea is a very big sea When you cross Sometimes when I am going to USA I have to pass through Dubai So when we go through Dubai Sometimes we go to Nairobi Pick some people there Then we go through Ethiopia Then through Djibouti Somewhere there Then we cross the Red Sea So I have been always so eager that I need to see how I am crossing the Red Sea So whenever we cross it I put my head on the window But it's very down Somewhere you know That place is almost like the high plateaus of desert Yeah like that So there is no clouds You can see down there Here in the plane you can put your own map Or you can follow how they are reading how you are going Oh you know this is the Red Sea We are crossing the Red Sea It's very big Ok Now let's go back to the story of Israel What happened? The Egyptians After releasing the Israel They regretted again Why did we leave them? Let us follow them So they followed them Why did they follow them? It's because They don't have God The Gods that they worship and believe Are man-made Gods Are man-chosen Gods Not God of Heaven and Earth So their Gods know the truth These Gods you hear Absaroti, Dagon and other Gods They are not real Gods Even these Gods in people's churches They are storing the name of Jesus And they use it in those churches But they don't have Jesus Because what they do Contrary to the word of God Most of these churches You see in the world They don't have the real Jesus It's like You are free to use any name You can find children Doing their childish things at home And one can say I am the father of this home Then another one can say I am the mother Then they can make their small things They look like children And put their hands and their legs And then they give them a name I will call you Nambuya Nambuya, bring food They are talking to dolls They are not talking to real people They are imitating They are practicing They have nature in them If girls They practice how girls and women do things It's the nature in them But they are doing those things Which are not real So God has made human beings And has put in them the nature to worship He has put in them the thirst to worship But now They quench their thirst on different things They quench their thirst on different gods Amen So that's what I am saying Now the Egyptians They also have their gods But when God of heaven and earth came down To redeem his children They saw their power of God They urged, they urged But God overcame them And lastly He gave up That filled them to go So they came out So when they walked those journeys They reached the Red Sea So when they reached the Red Sea They had nowhere to go Their route was to pass through Jordan They have to face it It's there But they have to face it So when they were resisting, where are we going? Remember they even started to cry They even discouraged their leader Moses He was their leader He was their prophet He was between them and God That is God's system always Always when God leads his people He puts someone between Amen To stand between them and God That is the procedure of God So he used to use Moses To stand between them and God So time came they were discouraged Because of what they saw What did they see? They saw a barrier Amen A barrier is something which stands before you So that you can't proceed It hinders you It's like that We human beings Sometimes we have so many barriers Which God allows To stand before you So when it is before you What do you do? You don't run away You don't denounce God You don't terminate God You have to continue with Him Love Him Serve Him Amen He has a solution Because I remember When they started to cry I remember when they started to cry Moses said something He told them That don't cry These Egyptians That you have seen them You will never see them no more Amen In chapter 14 verse 13 He said like this And Moses said unto the people Fear you not Stand still And see the salvation of the Lord Which He will show to you today Amen For the Egyptians whom you have seen today You shall see them again no more forever So He gave them the word of courage He gave them the word of hope As a leader That's how God does He brings a word which gives you courage Amen When there is problem You know God stands with positive things He does not need negative things Amen So therefore This is because the Egyptians Who don't understand God Their gods cannot give them knowledge They cannot give them wisdom They cannot give them to understand between good and bad Or between life and death Death can come they are following Now they were following death And these people were going They were not leaving behind blessings They were not leaving behind life They were going with their gods They were going with their help They were going with their support Ok now If you fight God's children You are fighting God himself Because God said I have come down That I may lead them Amen Him with his children So You just a mere human being Why do you fight God? You touch them you are touching God Yeah that's why we are happy here People fight us That we are happy We have God Praise the Lord Amen So you have seen Now The Bible tells us Moses encouraged them That they should not murmur They should not cry They should not regret They should not diminish their faith Reduce their faith Or lose confidence in God You know sometimes when something happens People lose confidence Amen Their trust They reduce They cut it Amen They want only good things always They want always good news always They always need good words always They don't want to hear anything which discourages Or bad news Or something which gives sorrow They don't want that But all things are good for those who love God Praise the Lord So you see Ok Now The Bible tells me Moses encouraged those people When he told them fear not The Egyptians whom you have seen You will see them no more So when he was talking like that The sun was seen What is happening The wind was seen What is happening Amen The fire was seen What is happening The knife was seen What is happening The darkness was seen What is happening Why am I talking about that Our subject was seen Nature testifies Who we are They know Because this nature Was put there by God And this very God Is within the children So where God is Is where his children is So this very nature They also see Praise the Lord Amen So let me put this here Aha Ok As we continue Moses is encouraging them That these Egyptians Whom you have seen You will see them no more Do you know what is going to happen Wind will come in Fire will come in Water will come in Darkness will come in Light will come in But now Darkness Will not confuse Israel Because Their God Is the light Their God Is the pillar of fire Their God Is their torch Is their light Amen Why? It is because Water Is going to Is not going to touch Israel Water will say Oh no no no no These are the anointed ones These are the blamed of God These are the subjects of God These are his children These are the redeemed of God I salute myself And stand still I want to salute Can you pass please? Oh pass pass pass You go you go you go That is water Amen Nature Let us smile Who we are We are the children of God Praise the Lord Amen Uh huh Are you listening? That is right Yes it is the holiness Uh huh Yes let me look at your faces I want you to know who you are Praise the Lord Yes so that this nature Should fear you And respect you And not disturb you Amen That is why sometimes me Sometimes the outside is bad The air is bad You find people very sick But because I am with God Sometimes this air Sometimes this nature Can respect me Because I am the child of God Amen Are you listening? Yes We want to serve the Lord We want to love him Until he gives us good life Gives us good health Amen . Yesterday we were talking We were talking with you Was it you? Yes that is right Jessica Can reach 120 years Because now People can't understand her We were talking That we saw Jessica She is the same She is now the same And yet she is in April Amen So we want You know God gives some examples So maybe she is an example To encourage others Praise the Lord That is right You people Even my old mother here If she stands well She will continue She will continue Amen So sometimes I said oh I am wondering I am getting old already Just a young boy Then when I remember my mother Is she still around? She is still around And then I am also still around Amen That is good brother Yes brother Henry Yeah Where are your brothers? Look at Magabula Magabula Is very An old man like this And yet Henry here Is older than Magabula That is true But you see Because of the word You people you love the word Hallelujah Amen That is good Hey So Nature That is right So Moses Amen Amen You can Pound there You can even put there You can fill there Fill there And so on So when people see They see the result This person is already finished You don't even encourage yourself Praise the Lord So The Bible tells me That The Lord shall Moses told to the people verse 14 Of chapter 14 Exodus He told them That The Lord shall fight for you And you Shall hold your peace So he Encouraged them That the Lord Shall fight for you That is true All our wars These big wars You see It is the Lord who fights The Lord fights for his people He has so many things he uses Amen He even uses nature He can use wind He can use rain He can use darkness He can use sunshine He can use air He can use stones Amen He has some stones in the heaven He has some stones in the sky Amen They are called hail stones They are big They came to cataclysm They fall big like this Kill the gods Stones And use those ones He sent some of those stones During the time of Kings of Israel fighting Against their enemies He threw stones And killed The enemies of Israel That is God fighting What has Moses said You just be still God will fight for you Amen You are just a human being But it is God who fights for you He uses nature Must testify Who you are Amen In the time of Noah What did he use He used water He used flowers To kill The rebellious people To kill The people who don't love God They didn't serve God Amen Therefore He used water That water Was nature It killed The people The animals The insects The reptiles Whether snake Whether tortoise Whether centipedes Or moth And so on Praise the Lord He used nature But that nature Respected Noah Amen The water said Oh Let's carry With respect Let's carry the ark More slowly They are giving respect The others are dying The others are respected That is how God does Amen Praise the Lord What happened really The Bible says When the enemies came And these people saw them They trembled They cried Mother said Be still Fear not These people you have seen You will see them no more He knows how to use He knows how he is going to finish the battle Amen Then the Bible says He told Moses Strike forth your hand Beat the road on the red sea Amen Then what happened The Bible says The wind came to help The east wind Do you know that the Bible says like that The Bible says Then the east wind came Why does it come It's coming to do the work It's not coming to kill Israel It's coming to kill The Egyptians Amen But what did it do It had to help The water stand Some things happen With a set of materials Amen With wind Amen So Some things happen By a set of many things A group Now In order to kill the Israel I mean to kill the Egyptians Darkness must be there Wind must be there Water must be there The word must be there Amen Are you getting me Are you following Praise the Lord So as we have seen We have discovered that Then The Bible says And then Moses Stretched out his hand Over the sea And the sea The Lord caused the sea To go back by a strong wind All that night And then Do you see what is in chapter 14 of Exodus That was in verse 21 Which was talking of The wind coming in Wind is nature Water is nature Amen Sunlight is nature Amen So what happened Moses took His hand over the sea And caused the sea to go back By strong east wind All that night And made the sea dry land And the waters were divided Can you see The wind came All that night And then Amen And the waters said Oh no no no no I am subject Amen I am respecting The deliverance of God's children The work of God Amen So the wind came in It's coming to help deliverance But it's coming to help kill the enemy You see Amen One thing does two things Amen The wind is coming It came It came to do all It came to help the deliverance Total deliverance Amen But it also came To kill Who are going to be killed The Egyptians Who are going to be delivered And remain alive God is with you who God is with Israel Amen Have you heard that But others They worship different gods And those gods cannot help Hallelujah So Then what happened Then the fear of fire Saw the Egyptians coming Then it went back Amen It went back To stand Against the Egyptians So when it was against them What happened Their wills did not move What happened The Egyptians They did not believe They did not respect God They were ever Hardened Amen That's how some people are there In the world today Where are they here Are they here Their hearts are very hard They don't want to Believe in God They don't want the truth They want life They want to get lost They want to die You know what is going to kill people And what is killing people In the world It is in nature This very wind here This very air here It changes It can change into poison Then people cough Cough People breathe Breathe People breathe badly And they die That's what they call disease Good things change Their food change And then people vomit And then people vomit And then people run To hell Amen The very food was changed Are you listening Amen Do you know what kills the people The nature Changes against them Amen Hallelujah Amen Huh It's just the nature which changes

bound Silas What they do They testify That we cannot We cannot Bind with the people They are God's people I am talking about nature Hallelujah Amen Amen Huh? Why did the Egyptians die? It's because They did not live By the word of God They refused To listen to Moses They refused To listen to God If you refuse to listen to Moses You have refused to listen from God God said Moses I have made you God So the Egyptians They saw Moses As a man As a As a child who was picked From the river So He was a bastard child Amen But God saw Moses As a redeemer As a son of God As a helper God saw Moses He will talk with nature Amen He will talk to a river He will talk to red sea He will talk to the To the Frogs Amen He will talk to lice Lice Amen The lice came into the province of the Egyptians But Moses said Lice Don't go to Israel And they knew They listened They respected Amen They went to Egyptians They were scratching themselves Amen Until They said This is the finger of God We cannot resist We now believe After suffering We believe This is not good Amen Some people believe After suffering Why do you wait for suffering Amen Praise the Lord Amen Nature Testifies Who we are Sunshine Can testify Who we are Rain Testify Who we are Wind Testify Who we are The vehicles we drive They must testify Who we are The shoes we wear The clothes we wear Must testify Who we are The wind we breathe Must testify Who we are Nature Amen Hallelujah Amen I am preaching to the big people Small group here But the word It does Work Even to one person Hallelujah Amen Yes, yes, yes Because If we don't Understand these things Then we shall suffer Amen Yes, you can go to your field And you look at your field And you say My beans, my beans Oh sunshine Don't burn my beans No, no, no Please, please, please Yes God is with you God Was with Joshua Amen Joshua said You are going down quickly And my enemies Are around They are hiding They are knocking They are fighting me And I don't see them in the bush Son Wait, wait, wait Stand still Wait, wait, wait Stand still Nature Knows who my Joshua was Amen What about you?
