Waiting Upon The Lord : Apostle TB Sampo

In this sermon, Apostle TB Sampo teaches on the spiritual significance of waiting upon the Lord and the necessity of maintaining holiness and righteousness in a new season. He emphasizes that waiting is not a passive act, but a time to rely on God's power, align with His will, and equip oneself with the full armor of God. Key Themes and Teachings: Waiting on the Lord: Waiting involves depending on the power of Jesus (1:23), which is described as the "greater power" capable of overcoming any obstacle, sickness, or spiritual bondage (2:45-3:48). It also requires submitting to God's will, even in difficult times (4:29-4:59). Holiness as Power: The Apostle stresses that holiness is essential for spiritual protection against demonic influences (7:47-8:35). He encourages believers to wear the breastplate of righteousness and live a life that reflects their faith (8:08-9:15). The Full Armor of God: To effectively wait upon the Lord, believers must equip themselves: Belt of Truth: Disconnecting from a life of lies and corruption (9:52-10:14, 14:13-14:29). Shield of Faith: Moving from being a "hearer" to a "doer" of the Word (13:14-14:02, 17:45-17:51). Sword of the Spirit: Using the Word of God as a weapon for spiritual battles (33:59-34:18). The Altar and Sacrifice: The message highlights the importance of raising a personal altar of fire—not a physical building, but a place of prayer, fasting, and total sacrifice to God (49:20-50:07, 57:38-58:16). He cites Noah, Joshua, and Elijah as examples of those who established covenants with God through their sacrifices (59:51-1:03:38). Call to Repentance: A recurring theme is the urgent need for believers to repent from sin—including fornication, pride, gossip, and association with the ungodly—to avoid the consequences of spiritual death and hell (15:17-15:47, 18:13-18:41, 1:19:17-1:20:06). The message concludes with a call to make a firm decision to follow Jesus, choosing Him above worldly influences, and committing to a life of purity as the church enters a new season (1:30:09-1:34:54).
