Good morning, JCC. The Lord laid it on my heart this morning to share a word with you titled This Is Not the End of the Story. This JCC is not the end of the story. There's a God in heaven that writes the scripts of our lives. He's a script writer. He's the movie producer. He's a movie director. And he's too organized to be absent minded. He knows what he's doing. Nothing meets him in emergency.
God is too organized to be absent minded. When we cannot trace him, we choose to praise him. When we cannot trace him, we choose to trust him. So this morning, I'm here to tell you by the leading of the Holy Spirit that this is not the end of the story. Because this story is just starting. God is about to produce a movie that every ear that sees it and every eye that watches it will tingle and we all will be surprised. He cannot fail.
Let me read Ruth chapter 4, verses 13-17. This passage shows us that this is not the end of the story.
Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife. And when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, she bore a son. And the women said unto Naomi, "Blessed be the Lord, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel. And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thy old age. For thy daughter-in-law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him. And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it. And the women her neighbors gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi, and they called his name Obed, the father of Jesse, the father of David.
You all know the story of Elimelech and Naomi. When Elimelech thought that it was over and decided to leave the house of bread for Moab, I want you to know JCC that contradictions cannot cancel the covenant. Contradictions can never ever cancel the covenant.
Let me give you two things: Number one, God is too organized to be absent minded. Number two, contradictions cannot cancel the covenant.
Elimelech took his wife, took his children. They went to Moab and everything was wasted. He lost his life, lost the children and all that. And Naomi decided that she was returning home. In that season of her life, she thought it was over. And we all get there. It may not even be the death of a loved one. When something precious dies in your life, when something precious gets missing in your life—at a point she thought it was over.
I'm here to let you know that when you think it's over, grace steps in. And that's the season that you are in. The Lord will have me tell this house that he's about to shock you. Mark my words and mark today's date because you're going to be referring to it.
Eventually, we know that Naomi came back with Ruth. What God did with her life was amazing—people had to gather to rejoice with her and to tell her that there is a vision that will be a restorer of your life. There is a vision that will make your old age, the evening of your life, to be pleasant. That will make useless the things you thought you had before. That will make it look like it's a dream. What? God, what are you doing? Wake me up.
JCC, get ready. Because honestly, God prepared you. It wasn't sudden. You were prepared. It's just that we're human and then we have to grieve. We grieve, yes, we mourn, yes, we'll go through the five stages and more. But God is the script writer. He's the script writer. He's the movie producer. He's the movie director. He's the stage manager. He knows when to switch off the light. And that's beyond us.
You want to talk about prayer? We prayed. You want to talk about medical science? We tried. But God is the script writer. He knows when to turn the light off.
Get ready. This seed that went to the ground for JCC is too precious and too heavy. Get ready for an unfinishable harvest.
There are things that will happen to you as individuals, as families, and as a corporate body, not because of your prayer, but because of the seed. There are seeds that God cannot overlook. This seed is a precious one. This seed is too expensive. The pain that we are all going through is not a waste. It's not a waste.
While we grieve, while we mourn, while we cry, we see beyond our laws. We're prophetic people. We see what is ahead. This is not the end of the story.
Satan, get ready because you will weep in this season. Get ready because the Lord will have me tell this house that global citizens and global giants will build the aftermath of this seed. Global giants that the world will acknowledge, that the world will stand still for—these are the harvests that this seed will produce. The world has not seen nothing yet. JCC, this seed is too expensive.
When you want to see how great a man is, if he's married, look at his wife. Look at his wife. Look at his children—spiritual, natural, biological, adopted, destiny children. The memory of the just is blessed. What a life we are actually celebrating. What a life. What a ministry. Bishop went and your ministry is still speaking this much. You truly lived.
So when we grieve, let's remember, let's look, let's count our blessings. God has done well. Bishop wanted to go home. He said, "They are here. They have come. I'm going home." And there is nobody that has seen that kind of glory that wants to come back. We're grateful for that life.
JCC, get ready. Something is about to blow. You're about to blow and it will be simplified by grace. So this season, I'm not here as a preacher. I'm here as an apostle to do some apostolic assignments.
In this season, God is going to simplify this vision. Number two, God is going to amplify this vision. And number three, God is going to fortify this vision.
As I speak this over this house, you can claim it as an individual. That struggle and struggling and hustling is over because grace is stepping in. I thought it was over until grace stepped in. God is going to simplify what you thought is difficult. You will just watch it in your hand. Simplified by God, simplified by grace, amplified by God, and fortified.
God cannot lie. Man starts to finish. God finishes before he starts. So before the foundation of the earth, he finished the script by just acting. And those of you that are listening to me this morning or watching, you better act well because you don't know when the stage manager will switch off the lights.
You may think it's going to be 100 years and he says 50 something. You better act well. This is not the time to be wasting your life gossiping and bad mouthing people. We are on a business. It's urgent. The king's business. It's urgent.
This is not the time when they be begging you to come to church. We left that season. This is the time to be serious with God because eternity is real. There are people that died, even pastors. And somebody told me about a pastor who was not born again. The nurse that was there when he was dying said she will never pray in her life to be around an unbeliever when they want to die. The final moment was evil, bad. So you better get serious with God. Eternity is real.
You can't afford to be playing hide and seek. We are grieving. We're mourning. But we're going to heal. It's part of God's program. You go through shock, denial. You grieve, you're going to heal. And there'll be restoration. There is a peace inside each and every one of you. There's a piece of bishop.
It's scriptural. God took of the spirit of wisdom from Moses and put it on Joshua and put it on the 70. There's a piece of him. I listened to Jeremiah speak at the funeral and I could see that the mantle has fallen. It's a new order entirely. I listened to Vanessa. I saw Robert and I said to myself, this man put his house in order. God will simplify, God will amplify, and God will fortify. Nothing missing, nothing broken.
This phase is not the end of the story. Just like Naomi, who could have said that Naomi will not have a baby—get ready, Kathy, because what Bishop did was a rehazer.
Bishop said here, "Look at may you not mismarry." He said, "What will I have done without Pastor Kathy?" And Reverend Kathy quickly replied, "What will I have done without you too?" The man was apostolic. He was prophetic. He was spiritual. He knew what he was saying. And I told my friend, "God prepared you, baby. You just were not looking. But God prepared you. He knew he was going. He put his house in order. That's the death of a righteous person.
We mourn. We grieve, but we will heal. And Satan, that's the reason we didn't close church. That's the reason Kathy is in church. Because Satan, you thought she will be at home for 3 months grieving and mourning. You missed it. You don't know our tribe. Satan, you don't know our tribe. You have no idea. This is how we roll in this tribe.
Are we sad? Yes. Are we grieving? Yes. Are we mourning? Yes. Do we miss him? Yes. But we move. You thought we would close church and then you'll be coming to the house to greet us and laugh at us when you turn your back. No, we're too solid. You think we're serving God in vain. Don't be deceived by our lipstick. We carry grace.
JCC, wipe your tears. Your baba is in heaven. You know there are people that when they enter heaven, the music changes. I think that happened to Bishop. See the lives. He was trending—testimonies not just as a celebrity, but as an impactful person, a kingdom asset.
God gave me two scriptures for this house. Psalm 36:5-6:
God's love is meteoric, his loyalty astronomic, his purpose titanic, his verdicts oceanic. Yet in his largeness, nothing gets lost. Not a man, not a mouse sleeps through the God's hands.
The second one is Zephaniah 3:17 (King James Version):
The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
I'm just giving you the pictorial image of the next season. A season ended. Seasons are seasonal. A season ended. This is a new season. These are the tips of what God, the ancient one, the mighty one, the unsearchable one, the unconquerable one is set to do in this house. Get ready.
If you wanted to leave JCC, this is not the time. This is the season of harvest. You swept the floor. You prayed. You labored. You sang in the choir. You served water. And a mighty seed was sown. God does not overlook. This season, JCC is now your season of restful harvest.
First Kings 5:4:
Now the Lord my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrence.
Rest. No adversary and no evil occurrence. Kathy, the Lord will have me tell you—underneath your life are the everlasting arms. It's true. Underneath your life, when you feel like crying, cry. When you feel like dancing, dance. When you feel like shouting, shout. When you don't want to see anybody, fine. But underneath your life and everything that has your signature are the everlasting arms. This pain is not a waste. This pain is not in vain.
Global giants are rising from this house. Global assets are rising from this house. Kingdom giants are rising.
My second assignment is to present to you your new bishop. The two of you, you truly know God. You started it and I felt like taking my iPad and running to you to say, "See what God told me." We thank God for your mother in the Lord. We thank God for the people that ordained you. But from today, there's a shift into the bishop brick office. The official consecration will come later just to formalize it. But from now, you're free to call her my bishop.
From today, I present to you no longer reverend. Bishop Kathy Allan Kiuna. From now on, we put an addition to her name. She's no longer Cathuna. She is Kathy Allen. She is our lady bishop.
Bishop Kathy is not replacing Bishop Allan. Bishop Allan is irreplaceable. She's stepping into destiny as ordained by God through her husband. She has earned her place. She's not a parasite.
You all are witnesses. And we heard it from Bishop's mouth. God has put in her what it takes. Name change from today. I want to act the script I saw. I want representatives from every department, every age group, to surround her. Behold your mother. No weapon formed against her will ever prosper.
I want you to give her your good will. If you don't know what to say, just bring tongues for her. God, this is not the end of this story. The story is just beginning. This movie is just being produced. Pray, pray, pray.
As you are enthroned in this new season of your life as a bishop, what it takes, heaven activates it now. Let there be a mark of divine approval. Oh God, let your children rise up and call her blessed as you are enthroned in this new season.
I surrender all to him. I freely give. I will ever lose, trusting in his presence.
As you establish your daughter on this bishop throne and as you have promised me in the place of prayer, please simplify the assignment for her. Amplify her voice and fortify her. Simplify and amplify in the name of Jesus. As this crown gets on her head, it will not fall. It will not fade. This Urim and this Thummim will not leave the household of Allan Kiuna. Their children and grandchildren will inherit the Urim and the Thummim. Priesthood will always be present in the name of Jesus. We declare this in the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Be intentional about loving her. Don't ever disrespect her. Something has shifted. When God elevates a person, he elevates everything that has their signature. Don't ever commit the sin of familiarity. If you are privileged to be around her, according to the book of Joshua, come close or leave a gap.
This is a sacred service. Be intentional about loving her. Be intentional about blessing her. Be intentional about how you relate to her. One of the pastors said, "The love we had for dad, we are now combining and putting it in mom." Your true son, you did well.
I'm talking about sowing into her personal life. When she gets home today and lays on her face, she will present all of us before the Lord by reason of the seed.
Ezra 6:8-9:
Moreover, I make a decree that you shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God, that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, forth, expenses be given unto these men, that they be not hindered... And that which they have need of—both young bullocks and rams and lambs for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven with salt, wine and oil according to the appointment of the priest which are at Jerusalem. Let it be given them day by day without fail.
This is your new season. This house is a house of bread. Everything you need from now on, either for the building of your headquarters or for you as individuals—day by day without fail. Take it, chew it, and let it work. Every time you look at your account, when it looks as if day by day without fail, that's your season.
Ezra 6:11:
Also, I have made a decree that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house and let him be hanged thereon, and let his house be made a dunghill.
I didn't write it. I encountered God before coming. FFA was sent from Nigeria to warn you. If you want to leave this ministry, don't trouble this house. Don't take any member along. Go and start your own by yourself. Don't bad mouth this ministry. Don't muddle up the water that fed you when nobody would have touched you with the longest of poles.
This couple, God used them to raise you when nobody believed in you. If you want to exit because you think it's "I love Bishop, I don't love Lady Bishop," it's okay. We too, we don't want you. We only want true sons. We don't want bastards.
Ungrateful people are not bad. They are evil. We are not saying you should not go and start your own. We are not saying you should not go to another church. But don't trouble this house because the spirit of just men, according to the book of Hebrews, Bishop's spirit has joined that. Now the spirit of just men will trouble you.
Put it on Instagram. Quote me. Drag me. Call me any name. I don't care. This is the word. If you want to leave, my dear, we are saying bye-bye. But don't trouble this house. Do not say I did not warn you. Carry you and your wife and your children and go. Don't take one usher. Don't take any of us. Don't say, "He is my branch" or "The shop is very close to mine." Go and labor over your own.
The one Bishop left, let it be in peace so that your financial life will not be hanged, so that your house will not be a dunghill. In this house, what our father left here is joy and peace and unity.
Those of you that are here today that want to give your hearts to Jesus, I break the yoke of sin in your lives and I decree that Jesus is Lord over your life. JCC, I love you.
