Message:

• The Year of Settlement: Pastor Deji declares 2026 as the "Year of Settlement" [35:17]. He explains that any prophecy must be rooted in scripture, citing Colossians 1:27, "Christ in you, the hope of glory," as the foundation for this assurance [37:06].

• The Scriptural Basis for Settlement: Drawing from 1 Peter 5:10, the Pastor highlights that after suffering "for a while," God Himself will "perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you" [38:52].

• The Role of Faith: * Settlement must be received by faith. "But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt" (James 1:6) [57:51].

  • The Pastor stresses that the duration of suffering is often determined by when a believer "sees" their promise in the Word and stands on it [39:09].

• Engaging in the Word and Worship: * Believers are encouraged to "mix the word of God with faith" and act promptly, similar to how Joseph acted immediately on divine instructions [54:40, 55:42].

  • Gratitude is a key strategy: "Let the people praise thee, and the earth shall yield her increase" [57:33].

• Resisting the Enemy: * He also warns that the devil does not want believers to be settled [58:38].

  • His ministry is "to steal, kill, and destroy" (John 10:10), so believers must resist him by knowing "It is written" [59:12, 01:00:44].

• Moving from Glory to Glory: * Referencing 1 Corinthians 15:41, the sermon explains that God intends for His children to move from "one glory to another" [01:03:04].

  • Divine settlement means that "shame will disappear" because glory is the opposite of shame [01:03:53].

• Strategic Living: * Pastor Deji advises guarding the heart: "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life" (Proverbs 4:23) [01:07:54].

  • He also emphasizes "strategic relationships" that add value to one's progress, urging the congregation to cut off relationships that take them nowhere [01:09:56, 01:10:14].

• A New Chapter: The sermon concludes with the prophetic word that God is "opening new chapters" for people, bringing all-round settlement—spiritually, mentally, and financially [44:53, 01:11:21].
