In the year 1990, as a growing child,I was very close to both my grandfathers, my maternal grandfather, he was in and out of hospital very sick, but he use to encourage me every now and then how great people are made.Deep inside his heart he saw a great person in me,a great author,he encourage me alot to keep my hope alive. But what always made me sad was the pain he used to undergo.A reality started to seep inside me, this were his last days, he goes far deeper than the kind of rejection a school-aged child might have known. It is worse than being denied or disliked; I feel abandoned. A cycle started where time after time the actions of those I love the most will seem to tell me the same thing: “Something’s fundamentally flawed with you. Therefore, I’m going to leave you,grandson,I will joining my ancestors, keep working hard and love my daughter because she has taken good care of me,your mother is kind grandson.”This were the words of my beloved maternal grandfather,this words were very heartbreaking because he was my friend.
Another occurrence this night will have rippling impact. God starts to tug at me, even though in this moment i was a kid I knew exactly what he was saying.
Standing on that hill at Kapsabet town Nandi County, surrounded by an open field that swallows my tiny frame, I talk to the heavens, believing in my heart that somebody hears me and heal him. I saw,the pain ,my mother use to go through daily because he was his father favorite. She prayed daily for God to take control of every situation.
I am now in my entire adulthood proclaiming God’s message of salvation. The world knows my name, which I share with a thriving ministry that impacts millions worldwide through social media. People know my fiery sermons, my smile, my shoes, and my success. Yet they don’t know the deep pain and confusion I am experiencing when my life starts reeling out of control and falling apart. The year 2008 after post election in Kenya my partanal grandfather died,by this time I was grown up working with Christian Radio station in Kitale Imani Radio,I’m lying on the floor of my house office, staring at the familiar sunrise with heaving, desperate cries, wondering again,a call came, my partanal grandfather has died,So devastating he was now feeling the gup so we’ll,the stories he used to tell me,mentorship into ministry,because he loved ministry work very much.So many questions filled my soul: If those things aren’t real, then what else is not real?
Kapsabet,Eldoret and Kitale holds many precious memories of spending hours in the presence of the Lord- praying, and fasting, and studying the Word. Still, surrounded by all the books that had given me some knowledge I’m lost for words and see no way out. Kneeling on the rug, I face the wall of windows and catch the morning light. In its warmth I feel the Holy Spirit beckoning, undeniable—and I’ve experienced it in the past. It’s a knowing. Since being saved, I’d always had clarity when God spoke to me, but in the desperate days leading up to this morning I’d been struggling, feeling as if someone was scrambling with those frequencies. But now, asking me to say the things I’m grateful for there’s not much inside of me that feels grateful at this time, yet that I am so certain of this command is reassuring.
In the background I hear children laughing, and suddenly I know. Of course, I’m grateful,no matter what you are going through be happy, for each and every one around you. As soon as I acknowledge this God whispers to me: “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
“What else are you thankful for?” the Holy Spirit ask of me. A warm glow bursts over the bay, like I’ve seen it do hundreds of times before, but this time I feel renewed appreciation for witnessing its beauty. I feel thankful for the sun’s rising.
Another scripture is whispered gently: “Blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.”
God has given me another new day, another opportunity to begin again, and another chance to fight for myself. All I need to do is get up off the floor and believe that this season is going to change. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but in time there will be something greater in my life.
One of the things about loss is it forces us to look elsewhere, even if we don’t realize it at the time. God watches and waits for us to follow Him. People know the story from my childhood—little talking to the sky after the death of his both grandfathers. Very few know the truth about pleading with God to take control of my marriage.It was by no means just my marriage – it was me. It’s a story I’ve carried with me for the past dozen years—a story I haven’t wanted to tell. I’ve never wanted to hurt anybody, nor have I ever desired to relive those moments. Even just a couple of years ago, I still hadn’t landed on how exactly I felt about it. I now know where I stand, and I believe this story can help others. I know I have something to say that can inspire someone and help them find their true place—their something beautiful—in this life,after brokenness.
Back then when life held me hostage, like a thief coming to steal my joy and rob me of my purpose, I always hoped that the pain and the bad memories wouldn’t overshadow the whole picture, because there were many wonderful things happening in my ministry – lives were being transformed and hearts were being healed. The picture is a lot clearer now that so many of the shadows have drifted away. I have enough clarity about that time, and feel strong enough, to revisit the end of our marriage and my life as it once was in a purposeful way. The scars are still there—and believe me, I will always carry them with me—but the grace of God is covering them.
In the midst of earth-shattering brokenness, we are often reminded there is more. I didn’t know God as a child, didn’t know anything about Him, but I knew that I “heard” His voice. I didn’t know what He was doing when my life was spiraling downward in the mid 2000s, yet I always knew I was heard. My life story is about how that young Kenyan boy, became that wounded man, and it’s about how those wounds helped him become a warrior. It’s also about how God was there for everything, and how He still uses those experiences for more,in ministry and his profession.
If you want to know the heartbeat of my story, laced within the details I’m finally sharing with you now, it’s simply this: my life is an amazing love story between me and God. I promise to reveal all the Cantona Joseph in my book beauty out of Brokenness.The fragments of a broken childhood and the lunacy of becoming a commodity—but the heartbeat of my story is our Almighty God, from beginning to end.
Like a tide rules the sea, all of us have this pull to something beautiful in our lives. The greatest blessing in my life is that God loved me enough to allow me to be broken.”
I don’t know what you have been through, what you are facing… we all have our own story.Maybe is about love story, your relationship went sower, someone betrayed your heart,I was in such situation 2010,Just imagine being in love with this beautiful girl Mercy Karani for two years,we bonded, planned even for wedding after her graduation,the first two years,2008-2009 our love life was flourishing.2010 the devil struck we had misunderstanding that led to break up. I want you to know that God has Something beautiful for you! He has Something Greater for your future, for your family, your health, your love, your ministry, your purpose… and I want to help you get there! God has an incredible purpose for you!
Whatever you’re doing, stop. GOD’S WORD HAS COME FORTH!
If you miss this you will miss your moment, because through God’s word and a divine prophecy, God is orchestrating a supernatural connection for one main reason- HE HAS TO GIVE YOU A MIRACLE. Whatever you’ve gone through, it doesn’t matter. Is there anything too difficult for God?
The Holy Spirit has orchestrated this moment RIGHT NOW and this is not an accident. There is a connection to you reading this.There are a couple of things getting ready to happen to you. One, you’re running to the end of something… in other words, you’re running out of health. You’re running out of maybe finances, you’re running out of emotions, to somehow cope… You are in a position in which it looks like it’s the end. You’re reading this right now, but watch what God is doing here. You are very important to the Kingdom because God is getting ready to connect us for His great purposes. It’s not an accident. God is saying,
Get your Spirit open wide to hear this word with spiritual ears. Deep is calling to deep right now! Go with me again to the 17th chapter of the book of First Kings, and this is what’s happening prophetically. There’s a prophet or a man of God or a minister by the name of Elijah, (similar to those of us God has called). And there are things the prophet of God is concerned about in a nation. And he says, I am going to speak, to get this nation’s attention back to God, gets prayer back into the school, get God back into the dialogue of “In God we trust.” I gotta get God back …And the little widow woman says “How are you going to do that? Sir? You’re a minister”. I am going to speak to the heavens, there will be no rain, there will be no dew, and that will affect the economy. If you will read it, you will find out God did not say that to him. The man of God spoke because God said I put you as a minister Elijah, I put you Cantona Joseph, I have put you on Radio,on social media on YouTube, there is a person watching, there is a person reading this from this website this very moment!!. This is the moment in which you are about to receive something.
Now listen closely to this because this is just for you. Because you’re running out. Whatever it is, you’re running out. You’ve already searching, questioning, saying can anybody speak to me on this computer, this telephone, …you’re running out. Now listen, this is expressly for you right now, just for you.
And the Bible says that the Prophet spoke and God said, I’ll back you up. What ever you speak I’ll back you up… you better get out of town. Because the King and Jezebel, they’re going to come after you Elijah. So God puts Elijah in hiding. God says I’ll take care of you. So He does. There was water in the brook Cherith even in a drought (God was sustaining Him) . He was hiding. God was feeding him, strangely enough, by the ravens who are not really clean birds, but they were bringing in fresh bread to him daily. Supernatural supply!… All of a sudden God says Cantona Joseph, I need you on Radio …NOW…
We are in society where people feels that they’re at the end of their rope… this cancer, the sicknesses, high blood pressure, this family, this divorce, this child, this emotional stress, THIS FINANCIAL STRESS… whatever you’re going through, you feel like you’re at the end… I’m going to back you up whatever I tell you to do, I will back you up so speak it!
I’ll come back to that in a minute! Elijah the prophet spoke, he spoke no rain. It affected all the economy and effected the orange trees, the apple trees, the grass, the cows died they had no grass to eat. The stink of death was everywhere.
Next God does something very interesting… And he’s doing it right now. Right now, this is a modern day 1 Kings 17. And that is, God quits feeding the Prophet, stops taking care of him, and forces him into a position to get out of hiding. Because God has got a miracle on His mind. (YOUR MIRACLE IS ON GOD’S MIND!) Because there’s a woman, she’s running out. And God says, I gotta bless her. But I got to put you Elijah (you Cantona Joseph) in a position to send someone an email, to be on Radio or social network, so you can minister to those that need to be sustained.
So God tells Elijah, go to the town of Zeraphath, there is someone who’s going to sustain your ministry! After all, God says I’ll back you up until the day you prophesy the rains to come and then miraculously, the economy will be restored, cows will live, horses will live, people won’t die, etc, etc. Now, let’s fast track real quick to where you are at this very moment.
The word of the LORD comes forth from Pastor one Sunday, says: “I’m talking to you. Because today could be your day. This is the moment in which you’ve been waiting for. You’re staring at this screen, reading this, and you’re saying, “God, I’m at the end.” And God forces Cantona Joseph to come to you prophetically, and God says, “Go Cantona. Go Joseph.” “But Lord I can’t go, it costs to be on this time, they don’t give it to me for free!” “Go Cantona, Go! and I’ll put you in a position to go to Zerapath, (to go on DAILY Radio on social media).
…and YOU are this person, you are this person in business. You are this person. What you’re going through. And the Bible says that morning, she told her boy, honey, we’re going to eat our last meal today. If you really take the creativity of the story, we don’t want to talk about death, but they actually went out and dug their graves in advance. Because everybody was dying. She tells her boy, this is our last meal. There’s nobody we can turn to. This is it….
And here comes the man of God.
The man of God bumps into her. God puts the man of God (Elijah/Cantona Joseph/Mathew in a position to get on Radio to look into, and say, I want you to do something… I want you to do something. So he enters the city, she’s picking up sticks, gonna cook her last breakfast that her boy’s waiting for. He said to her, “ma’am, could you give me a drink of water?” It’s a famine because the wells are dry…
GOD’S WORD HAS COME FORTH! And this is the secret of your miracle…
She immediately responded by saying, I’ll get you some water. In other words, for Your miracle to happen when you’re about to run out, you’re in a health situation maybe, a financial situation, family, etc… whatever it is…
If you can say, whatever you say, I’ll do.
She says, “Just a minute,” so she’s gonna go give him some water. He says, “wait a minute, ma’am, I need to be sustained. If I don’t stay alive, because you gotta know I’m the weatherman. I’m the one that caused this three year famine, everything that’s dying. The whole country has gone down because of me. Mam, I need something to eat. I need to be sustained. For the Bible says that God said I have prepared someone to sustain you!”
The only reason why you’re here right now, reading this is because God has chosen you,
because you are the sustainer.
The word of the LORD continues. This prophet has got to live so he can speak… So the woman, she says to Elijah, “sir, I can get you the water, but you are asking me to give you my last dime, my last meal, the last bit of food my boy and I have before we die…”
AND THEN HE SAYS, “DO NOT FEAR!”
“You do what I say, if you knew who I was… I stopped the heavens and God has backed me up. You give it to me and you’ll never run out again. You give it to me and God will take care of your future.” GOD’S WORD HAS COME FORTH!
This is what’s really powerful… What she did not know is that growing in her boy who she loved was some kind of malignancy of death working in him, that in just a few hours he was going to die. God knew it. God needed to make her a sustainer for Elijah’s ministry, so ministry could go forth, lives transformed, hearts healed, souls won,, just like this God-ordained and sustained ministry. Then God said: “if you sustain the prophet not only am I going to do a miracle for you now, but what you don’t know is your boy is going to die anyway. And her boy dies, her dreams are dying. And Elijah, full of the Holy Spirit, declares “I’m going to pray three times and the boy’s resurrection will occur!
Right now, somebody reading this, someone listening to me,watching my songs on YouTube channel Cantona Joseph Official and CantonaCast TV, there is a crisis coming, God put you into this moment. And God is saying “BECOME A SUSTAINER”. When you become a sustainer for ministry, it is the fastest way to get a miracle. God put you in position for this word that has come forth specifically for you!
The woman, she brings Elijah food, he starts eating, and the boys probably saying, What are you doing? Who is this guy? Well, he’s a preacher. Then why don’t God take care of him mom? Because God has a law that anyone who sustains the kingdom will get a miracle. She said, Well, honey, he told me that the meal barrel would never be empty. And he said we would never be without oil. The boy must have been looking at the preacher, the man who spoke it into existence, watched him with a mouth full of his breakfast, his last meal, and went to check to see if the truth was the truth.
The young boy looks into the meal barrel, and it’s filled supernaturally.
Nobody else had food in town. She was the only one. We don’t hear the rest of the story. They lined up day after day to get food from her because it would not go empty… hear what I’m telling you. The boy had more than enough. They were thrilled with the abundance…
and then her son dies with a belly full of food.
Your money’s not going to get you where you need to go. God’s not going to get you out of that situation. Perhaps you’re at the end of that court situation, the lawsuit, the job, or the missed promotion, what our spouse has done to you. He or she walked out on me, left me with the children. And today God has spoken this word that has come forth through Paster Matthew if you sustain my prophet (Cantona)(and my work through this ministry) and in less than 24 hours, I will sustain you.
God uses preachers who are under pressure. At Cantona Joseph Int Ministries there aren’t millions of dollars in the bank account right now. In fact, quite honestly right now I don’t know how I pay next week, but God does.
I know when I hear God and I have never in my entire life of ministry had enough to even barely get to the next week, except for one time at one period. And it was the worst year of my life. It was the year that everything collapsed, which is crazy in the natural, but it’s not if you understand the spiritual,
God puts us in that position on purpose. So we will ask. Just like the illustration we read in 1 Kings 17, He orchestrates the entire sequence- because HE HAS TO PROVIDE YOUR MIRACLE! Maybe you’re like the woman today, and God is saying, “Tell them to do this. Tell them to do this.” “Really God?,” “tell them!” GOD’S WORD HAS COME FORTH!
Greater has been declared over you and greater is being delivered to you. You can’t just live life as the “status quo”. God says, “I’m removing all the restrictions. I’m removing the limitations, and I will do the impossible… and what looks like a barren place, what looks like an empty thing… God says, I am bringing forth life! And I am bringing forth my power. I’m bringing forth my provision!”
God had prophetically declared Something Greater about you before you were even in your mother’s womb, what He has ordained to be over your household, over your family, over your calling… everything pertaining to your purpose. God has something greater for you!
I don’t know what you have been through, what you are facing… we all have our own story. I want you to know that God has Something Greater for you! He has Something Greater for your future, for your family, your health, your love, your ministry, your purpose… and I want to help you get there! God has an incredible purpose for you!
I was so humbled of the amazing response from some of my ministry friends around the world who got the opportunity to read Something Beautiful.
“How does a young, 22-year-old young man from humble background gets an internship to the office of Vice President of Republic of Kenya under department Vice President’s Press Service and State broadcaster KBC. The Humble Begginings: Beauty out of Brokenness. Sweetness of Life, is the dramatic story of his life and, as he puts it, “my journey of faith.” In my opinion, this book is a must-read for every born-again Christian who needs an explosion of “I can do all things through Christ” in their lives. You’ll lay the book down after finishing it and say in your heart, “1 John 4:4 is absolutely true: Greater is he who is in me, than he who is in the world. Thank you, Cantona Joseph!” -Paster Beatrice Kadari of Friends Church International says “Rarely, have I ever read words more powerful. Rarely, have I encountered a story more impactful. This book will profoundly inspire you. Absolutely life changing.”
