Ps 139:16 Ps 23:1-3 Ps 57:2 Acts 2:14-16,38-47 1) Peter’s first encounter with Jesus Jn 1:35-37, 40-42 Purpose and destiny do not start with “What am I supposed to DO?” - They start with “Who do you say I AM?” 2) Peter’s second encounter with Jesus Mt 4:18-20 “Peter was not called to be an evangelist before he was called to be a follower….You must first be called yourselves into Christ before you may dare to even so much think about being called into ministry or into the service of Christ. You cannot serve Him until first of all you have learned to sit at His feet. Before you serve God you must have a new heart and a right spirit” Charles Spurgeon 3) Peter’s third encounter with Jesus Luke 5:1-11 4) Peter’s BIG encounter with Jesus Mt 16:13-19 5) Peter’s big learning curve Mt 16:21-23 Luke 22:31-32 Acts 4:13

Prophetic Word 2025: STEWARDING Heaven's Resources | Pastor George Sarkodie Jesus tells a parable to teach us about STEWARDING what GOD put in us and the accountability that comes with what heaven has entrusted to us in this life. In this prophetic message from Pastor George Sarkodie, and exhortation starting into 2025, God is calling us to faithful stewardship of heaven's resources, of faith, hope, love, forgiveness, and even how to be a master of mammon, an not be mastered BY mammon. Jesus instructed us to USE our mammon to "make friends for ourselves," for eternity. When we are faithful or Unfaithful with the things of THIS WORLD which will all be taken away from us at the end of our stewardship, and at the end of our natural lives, we will stand before God and give account either way. God wants to EMPOWER us through this prophetic word for 2025 to grow in our capacity as stewards of heavenly resources, and to multiply the talent that has been entrusted to us to bring glory to the name of God and the name of His Son, Jesus Christ.
