Pastor Patrick Nyaga's Podcast

THEME SCRIPTURES: EPHESIANS 4:11-12 There is a great need to pray for those in five-fold- ministry. This includes the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. Why? They have a great responsibility in their offices of operations assigned to them by God and they need our support.Brother and sisters, change towards righteousness must begin with the Spiritual leaders in the Body of Christ. The Church must rise in intense prayer for these men and women who are spiritual leadership of the church. They are the front-line generals of the church for and under the Lord Jesus Christ that God has entrusted the church in the earth and we need each and every one of them...Our prayers must be:1. Pure - Pray without hidden agenda2. Passionate – Fervent prayers (James5:16)3. Persistent - Pray relentlessly

The Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ starts out with John, exiled on the Isle of Patmos, receiving an Angelic message and then some incredible visions that are similar to those seen by the Prophet Daniel hundreds of years earlier. The Greek name for the book of Revelation, A·po·kaʹly·psis (apocalypse), means “Uncovering” or “Disclosure.” This name indicates the meaning of Revelation​—it uncovers matters that had been hidden and discloses events that would happen long after it was written. The apostle John penned the Revelation at the age of 92 while exiled as a prisoner of Rome on the remote Isle of Patmos. John was to write in a book the visions that he SAW during his exile, and send it to the 7 Churches who were operating in Asia Minor (modern Turkey). At the time of the writing of Revelation, John was the last of the Apostles of the Lamb still alive and perhaps the last living apostle who had SEEN the Lord. He was therefore the best, and perhaps only, man available to complete the New Testament writi

God is Supreme Being and He exists independent of the universe. He does not change, is absolute, transcends space and time, He is self-aware, all-knowing, ever-present, and can accomplish whatever he desires to accomplish.Ephesians 1:17; "I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better". Think about what the Bible says in the Book of Daniel 3:13-27.13 Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king, 14 and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, ‘Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up? 15 Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to re

The prayer of consecration is simply an invitation for God to change, rearrange, and purify us. When God prepares us for His use, He often starts by cleansing us of the things that do not honor Him, such as improper thought patterns, bad attitudes or habits. There are many ways God choses to deal with His people.1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NKJV)19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body [a]and in your spirit, which are God’s.Listen to more insights and join us in prayer...

The church of Laodicea is the last of seven churches addressed in the Bible Book of Revelation. We are not told who founded the church of Laodicea in the Bible, yet from textual evidence in the New Testament, we know that Apostle Paul mentioned Epaphras in Colossians 1:7-8, as a faithful minister of the church at Colossae. According to historians, this church was one of Laodicea’s close neighbors. Therefore, it seems feasible that he may have been responsible also for planting the church at Laodicea.Revelation 3:15-16; “I know your works; you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”The Christians at Laodicea were affected by Domitian’s decrees. Their response to this persecution—which even involved their ability to buy and sell—is what causes them to be called a “lukewarm” church.It became so hard that those Christians who refused to worship the image the emperor were killed. Christians c

The church in Philadelphia was the 6th of seven churches who received a spiritual evaluation directly from God through Jesus Christ. Revelation 3:7, 10–13, “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write … "Because you have kept the word of My patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come on all the world, to try them that dwell on the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown. Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God: and I will write on him My new name. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches”.Jesus tells this church; "I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, and no one has the power to shut it because you have a little strength, and have kept My word, and have not denied My n

Revelation 3:1-6 “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, says this: “I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive,but you are dead. 2 WAKE UP, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have NOT found your deeds completed in the sight of My God. 3 So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and REPENT. Therefore if you do not WAKE UP, I will COME LIKE A THIEF, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you. 4 But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. 5He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will NOT erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. 6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’Here, we read that Jesus quickly and clearly condemns the lifeless state of the Sardian church: He says;

Revelation 2:18-28; “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: “The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze, says this: “19 I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and perseverance, and that your deeds of late are greater than at first. 20 BUT I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality. 22 Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into GREAT TRIBULATION unless they REPENT of her deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds. 24 But I say to you, the rest who are in Thyatira, who do NOT hold this teachi

Revelation 2:12; “And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: The One who has the sharp two-edged sword says this: 13 ‘I know where you dwell, where satan’s throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where satan dwells.14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching of Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality. 15 So you also have some who in the same way hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore REPENT; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of My mouth. 17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who rece

Revelation 2-11: “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: “The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life, says this: 9 ‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy by those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will NOT be hurt by the second death.’As usual, the Lord begins by accenting the positive. “I know your afflictions and your poverty,” He says. First, He underscores the persecution at Smyrna and brings comfort with the words “I know!” The Lord Jesus, our Savior, knows every heartache. He knows every pain, every tear, and every burden. It is encouraging, to say the least, when facing some dark

The church in Ephesus is the first of seven churches in Asia Minor to receive a spiritual evaluation directly from God through Jesus Christ.It was pronounced world famous for its large temple to the pagan goddess Diana (in the New Testament, Diana’s name is a translation of the Greek word Artemis, Acts 19:27). It was a city on the western coast of Asia Minor, near the mouth of the Cayster River.The city was also known for building the largest outdoor theater in the world, capable of containing 50,000 spectators. For many years Ephesus was the largest city in the Roman Empire next to Rome and boasted a population of more than a quarter million inhabitants.The Bible reveals that Timothy served as the pastor of the congregation in Ephesus (1 Timothy 1:1). Apostle John spent many years in Ephesus toward the end of the first century and that this is where he died and was buried.The message to the church of EphesusRevelation 2:1-7; “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: The One who holds the seven stars in

Job 22:28 says; "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person".As a child of God, you can never be a victim of any form of circumstances in life. God has given us authority over all the devil and every demonic spirit in every circumstance. Whatever we don’t want in this life, we have the authority to reject it and whatever we desire to happen, we have the authority to bring it to pass through declaring God's Word. Mark 11:22-23, makes us understand that with our mouth we can have whatsoever we say. A closed mouth is a closed destiny. As a believer, your mouth is your weapon for deliverance, it is your weapon for change, its your weapon for supernatural turnarounds. Jesus said, anything you don’t want, use your mouth to cast it out, Matthew 17:20, Mark 11:22-24. You must learn to decree what you want and reject everything you don’t want in your

Prophets are among the greatest gifts the Lord has given the body of Christ, partly because of their God-given ability to build with words. Words spoken in the correct setting can bring forth life and healing to the human heart. Proverbs 25:11 says, “Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a word spoken in right circumstances” (NASB). It only takes one word fitly spoken to a hurting soul to introduce or reintroduce Jesus Christ into that life.People are controlled with words. Dignity is restored with words. Love is communicated through words. And our worlds are framed and created by words. One God-empowered word can bring light, structure and fulfillment into a life that is dark, void and without hope, purpose or form. A prophetic voice brings hope and healing to the listener.

The power of our desire to fulfill our destiny for our life’s is literally depended on what we say or don’t say. Each one of us has destiny to fulfill. God had a plan in mind for you and before the foundations of the earth were laid. The Bible says in Jeremiah 1:5"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;Before you were born I sanctified you;I ordained you a prophet to the nations". Psalms 40:17 (AMP); The Lord takes thought and makes plans for us), and Jeremiah 29:11 (AMP) we know that they are thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.Now let us look at the New Testament scriptures..John 12:49-50,7:18 - Jesus speaking; 49 For I do not speak from myself, but the Father, who sent me, himself commands me what I should say and what I should speak. 50 And I know that [to obey] his command is life everlasting. Therefore, whatever I speak is just as the Father tells me to speak.1 Peter 4:11 11 If any man speaks, [let it be] as God's oracles [words]; if any

In order to speak the right words regarding your future, you have to know and understand the will of God for your life. There is a general will of God for your life and also the specific will of God for your life. Example: The general will of God for our lives is to be saved, healed and delivered. However each person is also called by God to fulfill their specific destiny.Who is the man that fears the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses. He himself shall dwell in prosperity, and his descendants shall inherit the earth. The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant.Psalm 25:12-14Allow the Holy Spirit to “hover” over you until the Word is ripe within you. Then, begin to speak that Word to cause every area of your life to line up with His plan.Through this process, I have come to learn there are three stages of discernment of His will: 1) Discerning His will, (2) Discerning His timing and(3) Discerning His ways.

Fear is a crippling reality.Fear often brings on sleepless nights that turn into zombie days which lead to exhausted minds and bodies unable to stand in faith. The feeling of helplessness can be overwhelming and often leads to depression. A person in fear feels completely alone, forgotten and unable to see anything clearly.2 Timothy 1:7 – "For God has not given us the spirit of fear ..."To fight a battle requires offensive weapons. Bring the wrong tools to a fight and you won't survive long at all. When it comes to spiritual battles, you can't bring your physical tools with you. You need spiritual tools. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 10:4 that the weapons of our warfare are NOT carnal BUT mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds...So what weapons are you bringing bringing to the battle field?The two weapons we have been given to win our spiritual battles are (1) the weapon of prayer. The Bible clears says; "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much" (James 5:16)(2) the

We all agree that everybody wants to be loved. Most psychologists agree that man's greatest need is to be loved. No barrier can withstand the mighty force of love. Agape is God's supernatural, unconditional love for you which is revealed supremely through our Lord's death on the cross for our sins. It is the supernatural love Jesus wants to produce in you and through you to others, by His Holy Spirit. In 1 Corinthians chapter 13, apostle Paul inspired by the Holy Spirit writes; If I had the gift of being able to speak in other languages without learning them, and could speak in every language there is in all of heaven and earth, but didn't love others, I would only be making noise. If I had the gift of prophecy and knew all about what is going to happen in the future, knew everything about everything, but didn't love others, what good would it do? Even If I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, I would still be worth nothing at all without love. If I gave everything

The five main purposes as why you were made.1) You were planned for God's pleasure. God made you to enjoy you. In Revelation 4:11 says: "You, God, created everything, and it is for your pleasure that they exist and were created."2) You and I were formed for God's family.Look at Ephesians 1:5 - "This unchanging plan, His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into His own family." Family should be very important to us because it is important to God.Did you know that fifty-eight times in the New Testament the word "one another" is used? Love one another, care for one another, pray for one another, exhort one another, encourage one another, greet one another, and on and on and on. God wants you to care for other people. That's called fellowship. Enjoying God's family is called fellowship, and that's the second purpose for your life. Enjoying life with your family.3) We were created to be like Christ, that's called discipleship. God made you to transform you into a likeness of his son, Jesus Christ.The Bible

What we need to knowEven if there is a so-called generational curse, Jesus is the cure for that curse. The Apostle Paul wrote that “all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, ‘Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them’” (Galatians 3:10). This means we’re all cursed because none of us can ever keep the Law perfectly or do enough good works to save ourselves. Thankfully, “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree” (Galatians 3:13). It is true that “the LORD is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and the fourth generation” (Numbers 14:18). In that sense we’re all a bit cursed because of our sinful nature. It’s good to acknowledge that, but then we must acknowledge we have trusted in Ch

Very few of over 8 billion people on this planet will ever maximize the full potential that God has placed inside of them. Most people live mediocre lives. The full extent of their capabilities and talents go untapped. They are not even aware of the tremendous potential they possess.What is “potential”? It is your unused strengths. Your hidden talents. Your untapped abilities. Your dormant talents including capped capabilities.There is a great wealth of potential within you but you must decide if you will deprive the world or bless the world with those gifts that are locked away inside you.If you decide that you do want to release your potential, the next step is to understand the principles God has established for unlocking that potential. Miles Monroe, a minister in the Bahamas, identified 10 keys to unlocking potential:1) You must establish a relationship with God — the source of your potential.2) You must understand how God made you to function: by faith and by love.3) You must know your purpose in life (
