Sound Word Outreach and Ministry

Praise is for All! “ Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. ” - - - Psalm 150:6 Here is the totality of our sermon on praise and worship. Everyone that is living praise God, so it doesn’t what your condition maybe, but as long as we have breath we should praise God. He gave us His breath, so we should daily acknowledge and appreciate God for His breath and for who He is. Learn to always praise God. Shalom!

In Whom Do You Rejoice? “ Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. ” - - - Psalm 149:2 Today’s sermon is asking us a question, in whom or in what do you rejoice? It is a question to you and I. Do we rejoice in our jobs, family, investment etc? Do we rejoice in that promise made by a human? If we rejoice in things or people that is not God, then we are wrong. We have to always rejoice in God because He made us and also He is our king. Appreciate God for giving you His image and His likeness. Appreciate Him for he is the king over us and He will not leave us alone for the foes.  Remember, it is only in God you and I should be joyful in and rejoice in always. Shalom!

Sing Unto Jehovah! “ Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea ” - - - Exodus 15:1 Good day God’s image. Have you ever taken time to sing praises unto the Lord? When last did you sing praises unto God? Moses and the children of Israel sang unto the Lord. Beloved, the fact that you came out victorious from that issue is not by your making. The journey we took and the investment we made became positive not by our strength and calculations. It is God! Sing unto Him in your own words. Acknowledge and appreciate His supremacy and the wonders He has done, then you will see more wonders and miracles. Shalom!

Prerequisite for Fruitfulness “For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.” - - - Leviticus 26:9 Looking at the scripture above, God promised fruitfulness and multiplication on His people. He also promised having respect on His people and the establishment of His covenant on His people. Many will be fast to quote and claim this verse but there is a prerequisite. Verse 1 talk about giving God all the glory by not having any image that will take the place of God. Beloved, if we so desire this fruitfulness, we have to be doers of verse 1 even to verse 3. Give God all the praise and glory for there is none like Him. Praise Jehovah!

Judgement by Fruitfulness “ Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest. Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. ” - - - Isaiah 32:15-16 The scripture above is powerful and it tells us the effect of having the Spirit of God and being fruitful. The presence of the Spirit of God brings fruitfulness and the fruitfulness in return becomes a judgement upon the enemies. This is how it works. If someone curses another that he/her will not be fruitful and it turns out that the cursed becomes fruitful, the fruitfulness of the cursed becomes a judgement for the person that cursed him/her. In the praise and worship, the Spirit of God comes down which in turn causes fruitfulness. Take an example of Paul and Silas, they praised and the Spirit of God came down and caused their fruitfulness in the form of liberty. Have time always to pr...

The Turning “Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?” - - - Isaiah 29:17 We thank God for His unfeigned love towards us all. This love causes a lot of blessings to be showered on us irrespective of our shortcomings. In day 8 of this programme, God assured us of fruitfulness; that every blossoming tree that is not fruitful is becoming fruitful. No more again will you do things and be fruitless. You will never work like an elephant and eat like an ant. You will have rewards and evidence in your business, profession and work. People will no longer look at you to see nothing as evidence. You will not work and struggle in vain. The grace for continuous fruitfulness will fill your life. Your legitimate struggles and work will pay you in Jesus name – Amen. Shalom!

Praise and Prophecy! “ Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; ” - - - Psalm 149:6 The power of praise can’t be underestimated, and when it is compelled with the two-edged sword, it becomes an undefeatable weapon for the annihilation of ones enemies. This is a methodology to handle the problems and become victorious. The two-edged sword is the word of God and the power of God’s word can’t be compared with or to anything. Beloved of God, our father Jehovah wants us to have this weapon of praise and His word in our mouth always. Remember God’s word is sharper than two-edged swords and His word is a destroyer of walls and barriers. Learn to speak the word (prophecy) and praise God. Shalom!

Getting Light “ They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. ” - - - Psalm 34:5 In physics, reflection is a property of light. Reflection causes a thing to be imaged from the original. This is exactly what happened in our scripture above. To get lighten we have to go to the light and not to darkness. The light that can lighten us is from God, because God is light. One of the ways this light can come is by the power of praise and worship. You see why you need to always praise and worship God not only during this our operation. I pray that as you engage in this praise and worship of the person of God, your life will be lighten and it will become brighter than before – Amen. Shalom and Chara!

Sweetness From Hardness “ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim. ” - - - Joel 3:18 Hallelujah! Did you hear it? … the mountains shall drop down new wine …, this means that every difficulty in your life is changing to sweetness and everything that brings tears and pains will begin to brings joy and happiness. Not just the mountains and the hills, but also the rivers and the fountains will again bring waters. That’s to say, where your source of legitimate income [business, office, profession or others] has gone dry and ill, Jehovah will make it spring forth again. Your rivers [income] will flourish again. Praising and worshipping God brings His presence and His presence brings fruitfulness, positive changes, flourishing and abundance. Continue ...

A Better Life! “ Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. ” - - - Jeremiah 31:12 Glory to God! This is a promise of restoration, fruitfulness, newness and abundance. It doesn’t matters what had happened in your life or the sour situation that you may be facing now. What matters is this promise and He that promised. If you have been crying before, this time around even as we decided to start this year in this operation [Operation 30 – 30 – Praise and Worship Only], you will start singing and laughing. God has promised during the day 3 of our programme to make life more shining by watering your soul and ensuring that you lack nothing again. I pray that Jehovah the merciful and gracious will make this promise manifest even spe...

You’re Included! “ …Praise ye the LORD from the heavens … Praise the LORD from the earth ” - - - Psalm 148:1, 7 It is the responsibility of all that are in heaven and on earth to praise God. He is our creator and without Him we will not have been and would have ceased being. This is more than enough reason why we should praise God. The animals and all creatures praise God in their own way that we as human can’t comprehend thus why should a human refuse praising God? Join in the praise and God will be highly please. Looking at verse 10 to 13, you will see that humans and all others on earth are to praise God. Irrespective of your status and affluence, you are under obligation to praise God. We praise God for His qualities and not necessary because of what we are. Only God’s name is excellent and only His glory is above the Heavens and the Earth. I pray that the heart of praise will be given to all human so that we will always praise God.  Halleluiah!

Why Praising God? “ Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. ” - - - Psalm 147:1 We are admonished here to praise God and that it is pleasant to praise God but why should one praise God? It doesn’t matter what our predicament maybe; whether we are in good state or not, all that we are instructed to do is to praise God. This is not because of our predicaments and conditions but for who God is. We are to praise God for who He is and not necessary for what He has done for us or for what we are expecting from Him. This is the reason why we should praise God! This psalm made a list of different wonders and mercies of God that calls for us to praise Jehovah. In praising God, we should not be self-centred and we shouldn’t wait till God has done something for us before we will praise Him. Always praise God. Shalom and Chara!

Rejoice in the Lord! “ Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation . ” - - - Habakkuk 3:18 It is true that we are humans and there is every tendency that we will tie our joy to the physical things but it should not be so. The more we hear on how to rejoice rightly, the more we stop tying our joy to the physical. From the scripture above, in verse 17 there was a record of negative physical situations but in verse 18, there is a record of joy from the spiritual and from the physical. This is how we should be; having joy from the spiritual and not from the physical. Beloved, make it your aim this year and always to rejoice in the Lord. In rejoicing in the Lord come solution, abundance and increase. The earth gives her increase when God is praised – Psalms 67:5-6. Shalom!

End of Thirst! “ And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out. ” - - - Isaiah 48:21 There is no thirst or drought when God leads! In your journey in life, just ensure that God is leading you because when God is leading you and you encounter any rock, He will cause water and goodness to flow out of the rock. To quench thirst [difficulty, hardness and others] you have to move with God and let God lead you, not you leading God. It was God that led them through the wilderness and not there expertise. It was God that gave them water not their skills. Lean on God and you will experience a positive change. It was their hardness and stubbornness that made them to be in the wilderness for long but God still in His mercies and infinite love did not just bring them into Canaan but also kept them save and supplied their needs. Irrespective of...

End of Hardness “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. ” - - - Isaiah 43:19-20 In every area where water is not accessible, then drought and famine sets in. The presence of water causes fertility and greenness. The new thing God is assuring us of doing is to make water accessible to us which will in turn cause fertility, surplus and end of hardness. This will also make the heathen and people to praise God for His wondrous work. Every dragon and beast of this world will honour God in your life. I pray that by the name of Jehovah and for His name sake, every form of hardness in your life is over. God is causing water to flow in areas of your life where there has been hardness. Praise ...

End of Drought “He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.” - - - Psalm 147:18 God is the owner of the earth and He controls everything in it, even the universe at large. He says a thing and none can challenge Him; none can contest with God and win. The major and primary cause of drought is the absence of water. Be it spiritual drought or physical drought, the absence of water results to drought. In the spiritual, water is Jesus and in the physical water is the water you see. God has promised us in this OPERATION 30 – 30 [PAWO] to cause water to flow in dry places. That is the word of God and He will do it and “water” will begin to flow in every place of your life that you have been experiencing drought [lack, dearth, deficiency, scarcity and famine] in Jesus’ name – Amen. Beloved, your solution has come in this programme, just continue to praise and worship God for 30 minutes every day till 5 th February, 2019....

Divine Defence “And when they began the song of triumph and praise, Jehovah set ambush against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, who had come against Judah, and they were smitten.” - - - 2 Chronicle 20:22-23 Thank you Holy Spirit! Thank you Jesus! Thank you Jehovah!!! Did you hear that rhema? “Jehovah set ambush ...”; it was God that fought by Himself for His Children because they praised Him. You can’t praise and worship God in spirit and in truth and Jehovah will not be moved to do for you what you can’t do for yourself. Divine defence comes when we acknowledge the supremacy of God through worship and praise. When you praise a mortal to be powerful, the mortal tries to prove that he is powerful even when he might not be. It works more than this in the spiritual. Just praise God, call Him all powerful names and you will see wonders. He is God and there is none beside Him! Praises are what the Angels and Twenty Four Elders does always in Heaven – R...

Doors Opening “And suddenly there was an earth-shock, so that the base of the prison was moved: and all the doors came open, and everyone's chains came off.” - - - Acts 16:26 The power of true and spirit-filled praise and worship can’t be underestimated. God is moved easily when someone worship Him in spirit and in truth. It was by praise and worship that the walls of Jericho was destroyed; also praise and worship made Jehovah to fight for Jehoshaphat. Read Acts 12:10, 2 Chronicles 20:22-23, Joshua 6. God has promised us in this programme – OPERATION 30 – 30 [PAWO]; that He will open doors. Paul, Silas and even Peter experienced this power of God as their prison doors were opened by the power of praise. Beloved, as you continue in this programme, doors of positivity will be opened for you. Nothing will stop you or your blessings from manifesting. Both old and new doors of increase, goodness and multiplication will be opened for you – Amen!

Divine Assurance “I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:” - - - Isaiah 45:2 One thing that I am sure of is that God never fails. Anything He said that He will do, he does it even without the permission of anyone. This is God’s word to you this week by faith, claim it and you will testify at the end of this week. As go goes before you this week, God’s will for you week must be perfected and all your heart desires in accordance to His will must manifest. Every gate of brass and bars of iron must be destroyed by the Lord’s flaming fire. Nothing will stop you this week but don’t stop yourself by walking alone. Let God hold your hand and let Him direct your paths! Shalom. NB: We have entered the second week of our OPERATION 30 - 30 [PAWO]. Please keep the fire burning and the spirit alive. Shalom!

What’s Yours Heart Decided? “For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.” - - - Ezra 7:10 The heart is the engine room of the whole human body. The heart is the power house to human’s living even to a large extent in the spiritual and not just the physical. Read Proverbs 23:7, Matthew 12:34. Ezra decided to please God from and to help others please God. To teach others the way of God and to promote God in His daily; but to you my reader, what has your heart decided to do for God this year? Make a decision to serve God better this year and depend on the Holy Spirit to help you in that your decision. Decide to do God’s will then you will enjoy life! Chara. Please Don't Forget Our OPERATION 30 - 30

The Paramount! “And the Lord was with Joseph, and he did well; and he was living in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the Lord was with him, making everything he did go well.” - - - Genesis 39:2-3 The physical position of a human doesn’t matter in this physical world. It known that the spiritual controls the physical, hence the physical doesn’t matter! In this life, the paramount is for God to be with you. You need no human connection, recommendation or reference. All you need is for God to be with you. It was because Joseph had God with him that made him to excel and be prosperous. Listen beloved, Joseph was a slave yet God was with Him. so never say that God isn’t with you because of the hard times you are passing through. Let your focus this year be on having God with you and nothing else for with God you can do all things and all things are possible but with human you can’t do all things and all things aren’t possible. Like...

Be Strong! “But now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says the Lord; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land, says the Lord, and get to work: for I am with you, says the Lord of armies:” - - - Haggi 2:4 Why will the Lord say unto these ones to be strong? There are situations that a believer will face then it will be as if God doesn’t exist or that God is far from them. God is always with His children. They might be going through different situations like fire and flood but God is there will them. All you need to do is to be strong! Isaiah 43:2. Beloved keep meditating on the promises of God. He will   never leave you nor forsake you. Even if the situation is bad, God is with you and you will shine out of that difficulty. Shalom and Chara! NB: Remember to engage in OPERATION 30 -  30 [PAWO]

Transfer of Glory 2 “to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.” - - - Isaiah 60:13 The divine peace of Jehovah abides with you all – Amen. Yesterday we studied the transfer of Glory part 1 and we stated that the glory is transferred when the glorified fails to acknowledge Jehovah as the glorifier. Today we will be looking at the purpose for this transfer. The above verse clearly stated it that it is to beautify the God’s sanctuary. Beloved do you know that God is not talking about the sanctuary build with bricks? He is referring to you and I – 1 Corinthians 6:19, 2 Corinthians 6:16. “…the place of my feet…” also refers to you and the earth at large. Note this is same as His footstool but not the same as thy footstool – Matthew 22:44, Isaiah 66:1! Beloved, God is so much interested in you and He want to glorify and beautify your life but you have to be His sanctuary. I pray God will help us daily as we live to be ...

Transfer of Glory “The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the cypress, pine, and box-tree together, ...” - - - Isaiah 60:13 Glory! Hallelujah!! I can’t stop smiling because of Jehovah’s promise. He is able to do it!!! This is an assurance of the Lord to you, His beloved one; that the Glory of those He has blessed but they refused to acknowledge Him as the source of their blessings, will be transferred unto you. He also promised that the wealth of the heathen will be given to you [Zechariah 14:14, Isaiah 45:3]. You see, God is interested in you having glory and wealth. The cypress, pine and box-tree are all signifying the glory and wealth of Lebanon that made it so famous. The good news is that all these glories and wealth will be transferred to you, but the better news is it will only be if you are called by the name of God. The best news is, God will do it for you to know that He is God! Keep tuned as we will discuss more especially on the second part of the...
