The Indisputable Power of Records: Lessons from TB Joshua and the Kingdom of God
The Indisputable Power of Records: Lessons from TB Joshua and the Kingdom of God
Key Verse: Matthew 12:36-37
“But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Introduction: The Power of Keeping Records
God is the ultimate Record Keeper. Heaven keeps detailed records of every thought, word, and action of every individual on earth, awaiting the Day of Judgment. Nothing escapes God’s infinite database.
Prophet TB Joshua, through divine inspiration, demonstrated this unique and rare ability by diligently recording every single activity that took place in his ministry. His detailed recordings reflect the heart of God’s own example of record-keeping, a trait that cannot be overlooked.
Why Does God Keep Records?
For Justice and Accountability
God’s records are indisputable evidence of our actions, words, and motives.
On Judgment Day, there will be no argument or debate. His records will speak for themselves.
Revelation 20:12: “And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.”
To Fulfill His Divine Plan
Every recorded event fits into God’s ultimate purpose for mankind.
His records remind us that He is sovereign, omniscient, and in control of every moment in history.
To Speak Even in Silence
God’s silence is not inactivity. It is a period of observation and recording.
As Prophet TB Joshua said, “Even in His silence, God is still saying something.”
TB Joshua and the Legacy of Record-Keeping
Prophet TB Joshua exemplified this divine attribute of record-keeping throughout his ministry. Let’s consider the key aspects of his meticulous approach to documenting events:
1. His Recordings Reflect God’s Nature
Just as God keeps an infinite database of our lives, TB Joshua was diligent in recording every miracle, prophecy, deliverance, and teaching in his ministry.
This practice mirrors God’s own habit of recording every human action, visible and invisible.
2. Speaking Beyond the Grave
Though TB Joshua is no longer physically present, his works, teachings, and miracles continue to speak loudly through the records he left behind.
Hebrews 11:4: “And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.”
3. Overcoming Skepticism With Video Evidence
Videos of God’s power in action, such as a crippled man rising to walk, are harder for skeptics to dismiss than mere written accounts.
Seeing is believing for many in this generation, and video records have a profound impact on the natural eye and rebellious heart.
4. A Testament Against the Enemy
Satan operates in darkness and despises accountability, which is why he hates records.
The Bible itself is a recorded account of God’s mighty works, and Satan continuously attempts to discredit it.
5. A Lasting Legacy for Future Generations
TB Joshua’s recordings serve as an undeniable witness of God’s power and faithfulness to generations yet unborn.
Psalm 102:18: “Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the Lord.”
The Importance of Records in God’s Kingdom
1. The Bible: God’s Eternal Record
The Bible is the ultimate record of God’s works, promises, and plan for humanity.
Jesus Himself referred to the written Word when tempted by Satan in Matthew 4, saying, “It is written.”
The Bible contains records of events from the beginning of time, current truths, and prophecies about the future.
2. The Record of Our Lives
Every word, thought, and deed is recorded by God.
Ecclesiastes 12:14: “For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.”
3. Testimonies Are Living Records
Testimonies are powerful records of God’s intervention in people’s lives.
Revelation 12:11 reminds us that we overcome Satan by “the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.”
4. Why Satan Hates Records
Satan thrives in deception and secrecy. He hides his works to avoid exposure.
TB Joshua’s video recordings are a direct assault on Satan’s kingdom because they reveal the indisputable truth of God’s power in action.
Lessons From TB Joshua’s Record-Keeping
Be Diligent With Your Own Life’s Record
Reflect on your actions, words, and thoughts daily.
Ask yourself: “If God were to review my record today, what would He find?”
Document God’s Goodness in Your Life
Keep a journal or record of your testimonies, answered prayers, and spiritual growth.
This practice strengthens your faith and leaves a legacy for future generations.
Understand That Silence Speaks
Just as God’s silence often means observation and preparation, let your quiet actions speak louder than empty words.
Be like TB Joshua, whose life and ministry continue to speak volumes even in his absence.
Appreciate the Bible as God’s Ultimate Record
Value the Scriptures as the timeless, inspired record of God’s dealings with humanity.
Let the Word of God guide your life and prepare you for eternity.
A Final Thought: What Will Your Record Say?
One day, God’s record of your life will be opened. What will it say about you? Will it reveal a life of faith, obedience, and love, or one of doubt, rebellion, and selfishness?
Psalm 90:12: “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
TB Joshua’s life and ministry remind us that records matter—both in heaven and on earth. Let us live with eternity in mind, knowing that everything we do is being recorded by the One who will one day call us to account.
A Prayer for Wisdom and Accountability
“Lord Jesus, thank You for reminding me of the importance of records in Your kingdom. Help me to live each day with eternity in mind, knowing that my thoughts, words, and actions are being recorded in heaven. Teach me to be diligent in my relationship with You, to value the legacy of Your Word, and to honor the testimonies of Your faithfulness. May my life be a record of Your love and power for future generations to see. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Declaration
“I declare that my life will reflect God’s goodness and faithfulness. I will be diligent in my walk with God, knowing that my actions are being recorded in heaven. I will honor the legacy of God’s Word and the testimonies of His servants. My life will be a witness of His power for generations to come. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
