TITLE OF MESSAGE: BINDING THE SPIRIT OF PROCRASTINATION (2)
BIBLE READING: Deuteronomy 2: 1-3, Joshua 18:3-6
Deuteronomy 2: 1-3 says “ Then we turned and journeyed into the wilderness of the way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me and we skirted Mount Seir for many days. And the Lord spoke to me saying; You have skirted this mountain long enough; turn northward.”
Joshua 18: 3-6 says “ Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers has given you? Pick out from among you three men for each tribe and I will send them; they shall rise and go through the land, survey it according to their inheritance and come back to me. And they shall divide it into seven parts. Judah shall remain in their territory on the South and the house of Joseph shall remain in their territory in the north. You shall therefore survey the land
in seven parts and bring the survey here to me that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord our God.”
In the last chapter, The General Overseer had emphasized more on “ Why people procrastinate? He enumerated that people procrastinate as a result of Fear, Comparing yourself with others, Salvation, Frustration, Wrong advice, Relaxation and Lack of Vision. In order to recede from the Spirit of procrastination, there are three important things you need to do:
THREE IMPORTANT THINGS YOU NEED TO AVOID PROCRASTINATION
- DEVELOP/ POSSESS THE SPIRIT OF OBEDIENCE
You should be obedience to the word of God. Joshua 6: 1-3 says “ Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out and none came in. And the Lord said to Joshua; See, I have given Jericho into your hand, its king and the mighty men of valor. You shall march around the city all you men of war; you shall go around the city once. This you shall do for six days. After this, the wall of Jericho fell down flat at the commandment of God. I command any wall of Jericho around your life to collapse in Jesus Name. Amen. Obey what God says to you. Genesis 22: 15-18 says “ Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven and said, “ By Myself I have sworn says the Lord; because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son—– blessing, I will bless you and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sands which is on the seashore and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed, all the nations of the earth shall be blessed because you have obeyed My voice.” Abraham was blessed because he obeyed the voice of God. When you obey the voice of God, you receive divine acceleration. Some people do a lot of sacrifice in the house of God and afterwards steal. You cannot bribe God; What the Lord says is what you have to do. God has a purpose while He made you; Fo r you to dwell in America, he is able to make you excel and nobody can stand against the will of God for you. Proverbs 19:21 says “ There are many plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless, the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.” The counsel of God will stand in your life. God knows you may face some difficulties of life but He has a solution. God will do a new thing in your life. Exodus 14: 1-2 says “ Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel that they turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth between Migdol and the sea opposite Baal Zephon and you shall camp before it by the sea.” God makes a way where there is no way. You shall possess your possession; You are a blessing; You shall overtake your enemies; You shall cross over in order to take your promised land. Exodus 14: 10-14 says “ And when Pharaoh drew near the children of Israel lifted up their eyes and behold the Egyptians marched after them. So they were afraid and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord. Then they said to Moses, because there were no graves in Egypt ; have you taken us away to die in wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us to bring us out of Egypt? Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than we should die in the wilderness. And Moses said to the people, Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.” Any opposition standing against you, God will wipe them out in Jesus Name. Amen. The Egyptians, problems and every opposition, you will see them no more. God will fight for you and every opposition will be subdued. Every Serpent, Lions and scorpions will be trampled. You will go forward; You will excel. Psalm 29:4 says “ The voice of the Lord is powerful; The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.” Exodus 23:22 says ‘ But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemy and an adversary to your adversaries.” God will fight your enemies. Your enemies will be sunk like the Egyptians were sunk by the Red sea. All your enemies will perish. God will bury them. You will move forward; You will move away from stagnation; Failure is not your portion. With Jesus, all things are possible.
- TRUST GOD
Everybody must trust God. God has entrusted you with power in your Ministries; entrusted you with position of honor because He feels you will not forget Him. Proverbs 3: 5-6 says “ Trust in the Lord with all your heart. And lean not on your own understanding.” Again, Psalm 125:1 says “ Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion which cannot be moved but abides forever.” Supporting the above verses is Psalm 37: 3-5 which says “ Trust in the Lord and do good: Dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass.” The book of Psalm 39:7 says ” And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.” Anything you are hoping for, the Lord will bring it to pass. I want you all to trust God. Romans 10:11 says “ For the Scripture says , Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” Trust in God and you will never be put to shame. You should endeavor to rise up at 1 am midnight to pray to God. Enemies will not prevail over you. God has the final say over your marriage, your career, your finances. With Jesus, we render powers powerless.
- SPIRIT OF DETERMINATION
The devil sends discouragers to anything that is good. Enemies barricade you when you want to move forward. If you give your life to Christ and with the things of God, you have to reference the truth and not lies. Nehemiah 6:11 says “ And I said, should such a man as I flee? And who is there such as I who would go into the temple to save his life I will not go in.” You should have the determination that you will make it. This is your year in Jesus Name. Amen. If members of this church are blessed financially, the General Overseer will equally be blessed through you. If you prosper, the Apostle of this church will also prosper. This is your time to excel. Some of you don’t get your miracles because you do not have the Spirit of determination. You have been lingering and stagnant for so long but there is more to come your way in Jesus Name. 1 Samuel 17:33-37 says “ And Saul said to David, You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.” But David said to Saul, your servant used to keep his father’s sheep and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and struck it and delivered the lamb from its mouth and when it arose against me , I caught it by its beard and struck and killed it. Your servant has killed both lion and bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God. Moreover, David said, The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear : He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go and the Lord be with you.” David’s brothers tried to discourage David. Verse 42 says “ And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking. “ Verses 45-47 says “ Then David said to the Philistine, you come to me with a sword, with a spear and with a javelin. But I come to you in the Name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel , whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand and I will strike and take your head from you. And this day, I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. Then all the assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear for the battle is the Lord’s and He will give you into our hands.” The battle of your life is the Lords. He will fight for you. Our Father Lord will move/push you forward. The General Overseer made an alter call for those who want to overcome the Spirit of procrastination by surrendering their lives to Christ Jesus.

The Egyptians, problems and every opposition, you will see them no more. God will fight for you and every opposition will be subdued. Every Serpent, Lions and scorpions will be trampled. You will go forward; You will excel. Psalm 29:4 says “ The voice of the Lord is powerful; The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.” Exodus 23:22 says ‘ But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemy and an adversary to your adversaries.” God will fight your enemies. Your enemies will be sunk like the Egyptians were sunk by the Red sea. All your enemies will perish. God will bury them. You will move forward; You will move away from stagnation; Failure is not your portion. With Jesus, all things are possible.
- TRUST GOD
Everybody must trust God. God has entrusted you with power in your Ministries; entrusted you with position of honor because He feels you will not forget Him. Proverbs 3: 5-6 says “ Trust in the Lord with all your heart. And lean not on your own understanding.” Again, Psalm 125:1 says “ Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion which cannot be moved but abides forever.” Supporting the above verses is Psalm 37: 3-5 which says “ Trust in the Lord and do good: Dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass.” The book of Psalm 39:7 says ” And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.” Anything you are hoping for, the Lord will bring it to pass. I want you all to trust God. Romans 10:11 says “ For the Scripture says , Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” Trust in God and you will never be put to shame. You should endeavor to rise up at 1 am midnight to pray to God. Enemies will not prevail over you. God has the final say over your marriage, your career, your finances. With Jesus, we render powers powerless.
- SPIRIT OF DETERMINATION
The devil sends discouragers to anything that is good. Enemies barricade you when you want to move forward. If you give your life to Christ and with the things of God, you have to reference the truth and not lies. Nehemiah 6:11 says “ And I said, should such a man as I flee? And who is there such as I who would go into the temple to save his life I will not go in.” You should have the determination that you will make it. This is your year in Jesus Name. Amen. If members of this church are blessed financially, the General Overseer will equally be blessed through you. If you prosper, the Apostle of this church will also prosper. This is your time to excel. Some of you don’t get your miracles because you do not have the Spirit of determination. You have been lingering and stagnant for so long but there is more to come your way in Jesus Name. 1 Samuel 17:33-37 says “ And Saul said to David, You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.” But David said to Saul, your servant used to keep his father’s sheep and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and struck it and delivered the lamb from its mouth and when it arose against me , I caught it by its beard and struck and killed it. Your servant has killed both lion and bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God. Moreover, David said, The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear : He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go and the Lord be with you.” David’s brothers tried to discourage David. Verse 42 says “ And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking. “ Verses 45-47 says “ Then David said to the Philistine, you come to me with a sword, with a spear and with a javelin. But I come to you in the Name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel , whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand and I will strike and take your head from you. And this day, I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. Then all the assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear for the battle is the Lord’s and He will give you into our hands.” The battle of your life is the Lords. He will fight for you. Our Father Lord will move/push you forward. The General Overseer made an alter call for those who want to overcome the Spirit of procrastination by surrendering their lives to Christ Jesus.

TITLE OF MESSAGE: BINDING THE SPIRIT OF PROCRASTINATION (2)
BIBLE READING: Deuteronomy 2: 1-3, Joshua 18:3-6
Deuteronomy 2: 1-3 says “ Then we turned and journeyed into the wilderness of the way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me and we skirted Mount Seir for many days. And the Lord spoke to me saying; You have skirted this mountain long enough; turn northward.”
Joshua 18: 3-6 says “ Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers has given you? Pick out from among you three men for each tribe and I will send them; they shall rise and go through the land, survey it according to their inheritance and come back to me. And they shall divide it into seven parts. Judah shall remain in their territory on the South and the house of Joseph shall remain in their territory in the north. You shall therefore survey the land
in seven parts and bring the survey here to me that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord our God.”
In the last chapter, The General Overseer had emphasized more on “ Why people procrastinate? He enumerated that people procrastinate as a result of Fear, Comparing yourself with others, Salvation, Frustration, Wrong advice, Relaxation and Lack of Vision. In order to recede from the Spirit of procrastination, there are three important things you need to do:
THREE IMPORTANT THINGS YOU NEED TO AVOID PROCRASTINATION
- DEVELOP/ POSSESS THE SPIRIT OF OBEDIENCE
You should be obedience to the word of God. Joshua 6: 1-3 says “ Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out and none came in. And the Lord said to Joshua; See, I have given Jericho into your hand, its king and the mighty men of valor. You shall march around the city all you men of war; you shall go around the city once. This you shall do for six days. After this, the wall of Jericho fell down flat at the commandment of God. I command any wall of Jericho around your life to collapse in Jesus Name. Amen. Obey what God says to you. Genesis 22: 15-18 says “ Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven and said, “ By Myself I have sworn says the Lord; because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son—– blessing, I will bless you and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sands which is on the seashore and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed, all the nations of the earth shall be blessed because you have obeyed My voice.” Abraham was blessed because he obeyed the voice of God. When you obey the voice of God, you receive divine acceleration. Some people do a lot of sacrifice in the house of God and afterwards steal. You cannot bribe God; What the Lord says is what you have to do. God has a purpose while He made you; Fo r you to dwell in America, he is able to make you excel and nobody can stand against the will of God for you. Proverbs 19:21 says “ There are many plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless, the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.” The counsel of God will stand in your life. God knows you may face some difficulties of life but He has a solution. God will do a new thing in your life. Exodus 14: 1-2 says “ Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel that they turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth between Migdol and the sea opposite Baal Zephon and you shall camp before it by the sea.” God makes a way where there is no way. You shall possess your possession; You are a blessing; You shall overtake your enemies; You shall cross over in order to take your promised land. Exodus 14: 10-14 says “ And when Pharaoh drew near the children of Israel lifted up their eyes and behold the Egyptians marched after them. So they were afraid and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord. Then they said to Moses, because there were no graves in Egypt ; have you taken us away to die in wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us to bring us out of Egypt? Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than we should die in the wilderness. And Moses said to the people, Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.” Any opposition standing against you, God will wipe them out in Jesus Name. Amen. The Egyptians, problems and every opposition, you will see them no more. God will fight for you and every opposition will be subdued. Every Serpent, Lions and scorpions will be trampled. You will go forward; You will excel. Psalm 29:4 says “ The voice of the Lord is powerful; The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.” Exodus 23:22 says ‘ But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemy and an adversary to your adversaries.” God will fight your enemies. Your enemies will be sunk like the Egyptians were sunk by the Red sea. All your enemies will perish. God will bury them. You will move forward; You will move away from stagnation; Failure is not your portion. With Jesus, all things are possible.
- TRUST GOD

I want you all to trust God. Romans 10:11 says “ For the Scripture says , Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” Trust in God and you will never be put to shame.

Verse 42 says “ And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking. “ Verses 45-47 says “ Then David said to the Philistine, you come to me with a sword, with a spear and with a javelin. But I come to you in the Name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel , whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand and I will strike and take your head from you. And this day, I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. Then all the assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear for the battle is the Lord’s and He will give you into our hands.” The battle of your life is the Lords.

Then all the assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear for the battle is the Lord’s and He will give you into our hands.” The battle of your life is the Lords. He will fight for you. Our Father Lord will move/push you forward. The General Overseer made an alter call for those who want to overcome the Spirit of procrastination by surrendering their lives to Christ Jesus.

TITLE OF MESSAGE: BINDING THE SPIRIT OF PROCRASTINATION (2)
BIBLE READING: Deuteronomy 2: 1-3, Joshua 18:3-6
Deuteronomy 2: 1-3 says “ Then we turned and journeyed into the wilderness of the way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me and we skirted Mount Seir for many days. And the Lord spoke to me saying; You have skirted this mountain long enough; turn northward.”
Joshua 18: 3-6 says “ Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers has given you? Pick out from among you three men for each tribe and I will send them; they shall rise and go through the land, survey it according to their inheritance and come back to me. And they shall divide it into seven parts. Judah shall remain in their territory on the South and the house of Joseph shall remain in their territory in the north. You shall therefore survey the land
in seven parts and bring the survey here to me that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord our God.”
In the last chapter, The General Overseer had emphasized more on “ Why people procrastinate? He enumerated that people procrastinate as a result of Fear, Comparing yourself with others, Salvation, Frustration, Wrong advice, Relaxation and Lack of Vision. In order to recede from the Spirit of procrastination, there are three important things you need to do:
THREE IMPORTANT THINGS YOU NEED TO AVOID PROCRASTINATION
- DEVELOP/ POSSESS THE SPIRIT OF OBEDIENCE
You should be obedience to the word of God. Joshua 6: 1-3 says “ Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out and none came in. And the Lord said to Joshua; See, I have given Jericho into your hand, its king and the mighty men of valor. You shall march around the city all you men of war; you shall go around the city once. This you shall do for six days. After this, the wall of Jericho fell down flat at the commandment of God. I command any wall of Jericho around your life to collapse in Jesus Name. Amen. Obey what God says to you. Genesis 22: 15-18 says “ Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven and said, “ By Myself I have sworn says the Lord; because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son—– blessing, I will bless you and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sands which is on the seashore and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed, all the nations of the earth shall be blessed because you have obeyed My voice.” Abraham was blessed because he obeyed the voice of God. When you obey the voice of God, you receive divine acceleration. Some people do a lot of sacrifice in the house of God and afterwards steal. You cannot bribe God; What the Lord says is what you have to do. God has a purpose while He made you; Fo r you to dwell in America, he is able to make you excel and nobody can stand against the will of God for you. Proverbs 19:21 says “ There are many plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless, the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.” The counsel of God will stand in your life. God knows you may face some difficulties of life but He has a solution. God will do a new thing in your life. Exodus 14: 1-2 says “ Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel that they turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth between Migdol and the sea opposite Baal Zephon and you shall camp before it by the sea.” God makes a way where there is no way. You shall possess your possession; You are a blessing; You shall overtake your enemies; You shall cross over in order to take your promised land. Exodus 14: 10-14 says “ And when Pharaoh drew near the children of Israel lifted up their eyes and behold the Egyptians marched after them. So they were afraid and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord. Then they said to Moses, because there were no graves in Egypt ; have you taken us away to die in wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us to bring us out of Egypt? Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than we should die in the wilderness. And Moses said to the people, Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.” Any opposition standing against you, God will wipe them out in Jesus Name. Amen. The Egyptians, problems and every opposition, you will see them no more. God will fight for you and every opposition will be subdued. Every Serpent, Lions and scorpions will be trampled. You will go forward; You will excel. Psalm 29:4 says “ The voice of the Lord is powerful; The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.” Exodus 23:22 says ‘ But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemy and an adversary to your adversaries.” God will fight your enemies. Your enemies will be sunk like the Egyptians were sunk by the Red sea. All your enemies will perish. God will bury them. You will move forward; You will move away from stagnation; Failure is not your portion. With Jesus, all things are possible.
- TRUST GOD
Everybody must trust God. God has entrusted you with power in your Ministries; entrusted you with position of honor because He feels you will not forget Him. Proverbs 3: 5-6 says “ Trust in the Lord with all your heart. And lean not on your own understanding.” Again, Psalm 125:1 says “ Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion which cannot be moved but abides forever.” Supporting the above verses is Psalm 37: 3-5 which says “ Trust in the Lord and do good: Dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass.” The book of Psalm 39:7 says ” And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.” Anything you are hoping for, the Lord will bring it to pass. I want you all to trust God. Romans 10:11 says “ For the Scripture says , Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” Trust in God and you will never be put to shame. You should endeavor to rise up at 1 am midnight to pray to God. Enemies will not prevail over you. God has the final say over your marriage, your career, your finances. With Jesus, we render powers powerless.
- SPIRIT OF DETERMINATION
The devil sends discouragers to anything that is good. Enemies barricade you when you want to move forward. If you give your life to Christ and with the things of God, you have to reference the truth and not lies. Nehemiah 6:11 says “ And I said, should such a man as I flee? And who is there such as I who would go into the temple to save his life I will not go in.” You should have the determination that you will make it. This is your year in Jesus Name. Amen. If members of this church are blessed financially, the General Overseer will equally be blessed through you. If you prosper, the Apostle of this church will also prosper. This is your time to excel. Some of you don’t get your miracles because you do not have the Spirit of determination. You have been lingering and stagnant for so long but there is more to come your way in Jesus Name. 1 Samuel 17:33-37 says “ And Saul said to David, You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.” But David said to Saul, your servant used to keep his father’s sheep and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and struck it and delivered the lamb from its mouth and when it arose against me , I caught it by its beard and struck and killed it. Your servant has killed both lion and bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God. Moreover, David said, The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear : He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go and the Lord be with you.” David’s brothers tried to discourage David. Verse 42 says “ And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking. “ Verses 45-47 says “ Then David said to the Philistine, you come to me with a sword, with a spear and with a javelin. But I come to you in the Name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel , whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand and I will strike and take your head from you. And this day, I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. Then all the assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear for the battle is the Lord’s and He will give you into our hands.” The battle of your life is the Lords. He will fight for you. Our Father Lord will move/push you forward. The General Overseer made an alter call for those who want to overcome the Spirit of procrastination by surrendering their lives to Christ Jesus.
