In this thought-provoking sermon, we explore the sobering reality that God may allow what we demand—even anoint it—yet it still may not be His desire. Drawing from 1 Samuel 8 and the tragic example of Saul, we contrast the man chosen by the will of the people with David, the shepherd after God’s own heart. We dive into the dangers of trading divine leadership for human desire, the symbolism of donkeys and sheep, and the haunting words of God to a people who rejected His provision: They asked, and He gave—but it caused leanness in their souls. From the wilderness wanderings to the itching ears of modern Christians, this message challenges us to ask: is Christ truly enough for us—or have we embraced another gospel, another Jesus, led not by truth, but by our own desires? this message was recorded at Zion Church.

The Kingdom of God doesn’t arrive with grand fanfare—it begins in unassuming ways, often small, overlooked, or even offensive to the natural mind. In this message, we explore the tension between the already-but-not-yet reality of God’s Kingdom, how it starts as an internal transformation before manifesting outwardly, and how perception determines whether we receive or reject what God is doing. Through the parables of the mustard seed, leaven, and the feeding of the five thousand, we’ll see how God takes what seems insignificant and uses it for supernatural impact. Whatever little you have—if surrendered to Jesus—can be multiplied beyond measure.
