  Speaker 1: Let's say the name of the Lord, wave your hands
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to Jesus, give him praise, give him glory, the merciful God,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: King of Kings. Can you lift your hands above your
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: head and just acknowledge the merciful Father? The Bible says
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: to come boldly before the throne of grace. Lord, we
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your grace, for
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: your mercy, for your love, for your kindness. Your mercies
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: endure forever. We give you all the praise. Let everything
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: that has breath praise the Lord. Glory, glory to your name. Glory,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: glory to your name. The giver of life, the helper
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: of men, the lifter of men. We bless you. We
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: bless you. One generation will declare your name to another. Lord,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: we acknowledge you from New York to the ends of
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the earth. Let Jesus be glorified. Jesus be revealed.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, Father of mercy, I call on you.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, oh, oh. By mercy I come to thee. Sing Yahweh. Yahweh.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: By mercy I come to thee. Sing Yahweh.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Yahweh.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: You're the father of mercy.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I come to you. One more time with your hands
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: lifted to the heavens. Sing Yahweh.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Yahweh.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: You're the father of mercy.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I come to you.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Yahweh.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yahweh.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Father of mercy.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: I come.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Father of mercy I come to you Father of mercy
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I come.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: To you Would you lift your hands to heaven and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: ask him for an encounter an encounter connected across the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: globe Abuja, Zaria In all our expressions across the globe,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: lift your hands and ask him for an encounter. The
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Bible says, for without faith it is impossible to please him.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: For he that cometh unto God must come believing that
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: he exists and then that he is a rewarder of
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: them that diligently seek him. We lift up our expectations
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: before you, the God of all grace, that you will
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: visit us tonight. Increase us in wisdom. Increase us in power.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: To you be all the glory. In Jesus' name we pray. Hallelujah.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: New York, can we give the globe a big God
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: bless you. We are serving the grace of God from
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: New York to the ends of the earth. Welcome our
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: family in Abuja. Welcome our family in Zaria. Welcome our
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: family in the UK, in Canada, Africa, and around the world.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Glory be to Jesus. Let me request that you turn
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to two or three people as far as your eyes
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: can see. Give them a big hug, greet them, tell
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: them it's good to be in the house of God.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Make sure you're speaking, not just hugging, not just shaking.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: It's good to be in the house of God. The
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: psalmist said, I was glad when they said unto me,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Let us go to the house of the Lord. Now
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you give Jesus a big, big hand clap and a
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: shout of praise. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Blessed be the name of
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the Lord. This is Koinonia. You may please be seated.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: God bless you. Thank you. God bless you. I love
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you too. Hallelujah. On behalf of Jesus himself, the apostle
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of our faith, I welcome everyone here and all who
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: are connected across the globe, all our expressions. This is koinonia.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: And I assure you in the name of Jesus that
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you will be mightily blessed and imparted in Jesus' name. Hallelujah.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Praise the name of our God. I feel we should
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: give the Lord one Big shout and a clap of
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: praise for Thursday and Friday. Come on now. Grateful people.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Thankful people. Partakers of his mercy. Partakers of his grace.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: It was the sound of revival. U.S. 2025. My goodness.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: The hand of God in an extraordinary way. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Jesus. Please be seated. Amen. The house of
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: God is a place of wisdom. The house of God
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: is a city of refuge. In Psalm 21 and 2,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the psalmist will say, may the Lord hear you in
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the day of trouble. Then he says, may the God
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of Jacob defend you. He says, send you help from
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Zion and strengthen you. Send you help from his sanctuary
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and to strengthen you out of his Zion. So the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: house of God is a place where the weary can
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: come and they can find strength. The house of God
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: is a place where the weak can come and they
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: can be empowered. Are we together? Yes. Yes. The house
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of God is Bethel, the place of bread. The Bible
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: says in Matthew 4 and verse 4, man shall not
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word, the preceding
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: word comes when you come into the house of God.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: The house of God is a place of understanding. It says,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: when I came into the sanctuary, then understood I their end.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: You can have understanding in the house of God. The
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: house of God is a place of empowerment where you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: are engraced by the Holy Ghost to do exploits for
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the kingdom. The house of God is a place of discovery.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: It was when Jesus came into the temple, the Bible says,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: he opened the scroll of Isaiah and he found where
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: it was written concerning him. And he said, the spirit
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of the Lord is upon me because he had anointed
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: me to preach glad tidings to the meek. He had
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: sent me to bind up the brokenhearted and so on
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: and so forth And he closed the book, the Bible says,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: their eyes fastened towards him. And he said, today is
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: this scripture fulfilled in your ears. The house of God
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: is where you find hope. Hope for the weary. Are
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: we together now? The house of God is a place
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: of love. It is true. The house of God, in fact,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: is where you find life. Psalm 133. How good and
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: how pleasant it is when brethren dwell together in unity together.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: It is like the oil that comes upon the head
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: of Aaron to his beard, to his cat, his garment.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: The Bible says, for there the Lord had commanded the blessing,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: even life everlasting. May you find all this and more
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus. For the weak, may you
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: find strength. For the sick, may you find healing. For
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the discouraged and hopeless, may you find hope. In the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus Christ. For the weary, may you find
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the living water. In the name of Jesus Christ. For
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: those who are lost, may you find your way back home.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen and amen. And
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: so my assignment as always is to communicate the wisdom
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: of God, the power of God in a way that
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: strengthens believers. Let me remind you again that Koinonia has
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: a mission to produce a victorious believer and that through
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the sound communication of doctrine, a sound communication of the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: principles of the kingdom. There is no other way to
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: strengthen an individual spiritually outside of the ministry of the word.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Are we together? Acts 20 and verse 32. And now brethren,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I commend you first to God and then to the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: word of his grace, the Bible says, and that it
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: is able, sustains the capacity. to number one, build you up.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: And then two, to give you an inheritance among them
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: that are sanctified. The assignment of the word of God
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: is to damage ignorance from your life. Because you see,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: provided you dwell in the realm of ignorance or darkness
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: as the Bible calls it, you are still within the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: domain of Satan.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Isaiah chapter 60 and verse 1 says that you arise
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and you shine not because you've been there for a
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: long time. The only basis for your rising and shining
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: is that your light would have come. And then that
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. Amplified says,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: arise from the depression and the prostration that circumstances have
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: kept you. Rise to a new light. Someone is rising.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus. It says, but the people
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: that sat in darkness, they have seen a great light.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: They sat in darkness not knowing they were in darkness.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: And then I will remind you again that the word
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: of God is beyond intellectual communication. I have told you
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Time and again, and you've heard me say so maybe
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: for the first time in New York, that when you
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: are under the influence of the Word of God, number one,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: you must realize that there is a layer of spiritual
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: communication that is not intellectual. Hallelujah. The exegesis of the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Word is not always intellectual. There is a dimension that
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: is higher than the realm of intellect. That one is
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: a spirit communication. So you can receive realities deposited in
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: your spirit man that your mind cannot articulate. Your mind
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: cannot give language to. However, with time. That reality that's
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: been deposited in your spirit begins to find expression. And
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: you find yourself walking in unusual wisdom. You find yourself
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: walking in unusual dimensions of power, confidence, faith is imparted.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Just like the wind. The Bible says the wind bloweth
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: where it listeth. You cannot tell when it is going
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: or when it is coming. So is the way of
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the spiritual man. And then, of course, there is a
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: layer of the Word, the teaching of the Word, that
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: edits your understanding. It corrects your thoughts. It corrects your perceptions.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: It corrects your ideas. Even if they've been aged long,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the Bible calls them strongholds. Are we together? Yeah. So
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: whilst you are under the influence of the Word of God,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: there are two laws working. One, the law of sin
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and death. Are we together? Yeah. Guarded by demon spirits
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: that keep you in a thought pattern. That keep recycling pain,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: defeat and it stops you from being a victorious Christian.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Even if you are saved. I have said it and
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: let me repeat myself again that the ignorant believer will
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: also be a defeated believer. Even though a believer. You
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: can be in Christ. Having acknowledged his lordship over your life,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: you are a bona fide possessor of eternal life, but
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: you may never be able to manifest the riches that
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: is deposited and embedded in that life. Because manifesting, unveiling
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the riches of the God life depends on knowledge. Hosea
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: chapter 4 and verse 6 says, My people, very interesting,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: they are my people, but they are still destroyed for
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the lack of knowledge. Hallelujah. Two reasons why Jesus cried
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: in the Bible. The first, the Bible says he wept
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: when he was at the tomb of Lazarus. The second,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the Bible says he looked over Jerusalem and he began
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to weep. Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, if you had known, even
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: in this day the things that pertain to your peace,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: but now they are hidden from you. He cried because
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: he saw the ignorance of the people, well-intentioned people, sincere people,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: It takes more than sincerity to live a victorious life.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: You can be as well-intentioned as you choose to be,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: but if you lack the requisite knowledge, and for some
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: of us, you're not totally in ignorance, but you do
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: not have the knowledge requirement. I'll always give this example
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: back home. If you work with a great system of A, B, C, D, E, F,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: as we do academically, you imagine a student whose course F.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: F does not necessarily mean zero. F does not necessarily
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: mean zero. Anything less than, I think it's 40 or 39,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: is called F. So to the one who scored 39,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: he still had an F. The one who scored 28,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: he still had an F. The problem is not knowledge.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: It's insufficient knowledge. That he did not have the knowledge
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: enough to pass the mark, the bar that was set.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: So the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 8 and verse 2,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: it says, if any man think that he knoweth anything...
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: He says, that man knoweth not as he ought to know.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Let me therefore charge you tonight that whilst remaining confident,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: you don't tilt to a realm of overconfidence where perhaps
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: you may say, I already know the word. I have
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: an understanding of it. If it's not producing results in
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: your life, then it's not yet become spirit and life
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: to you. Because John 1.5 says, the light shineth. That
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: was the true light that lighted every man. There are
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: false lights. They carry a semblance of liberty. But when
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: you stand in the face of real life situations, they
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: cannot deliver. If it's true light, it brings victory. Always.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: All the time. You're ready for light? Shout Amen. Hallelujah.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Praise the name of the Lord. Now tonight's teaching is
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: very interesting. The Lord quickened this in my heart even
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: before we arrived New York and Whilst I'm speaking to
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the whole globe, I would want to tailor my teaching
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: to charge the body of Christ in America, particularly North America.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: And I'll be teaching tonight on scriptural strategies for challenging times.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Scriptural strategies for challenging times. I consider this teaching very important,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: especially in light of the times that we live in.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: The Bible calls the church the pillar and the ground
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: of truth. And that means that when there are problems
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: that bedevil people in the church extending to society, the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: church should be able to answer, to respond to the needs,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the hurts, the pain, the confusion that people face across
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: any territory. If the church fails to provide scriptural solutions
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: that give people hope, that give them guidance, that give
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: them direction, then it's failed to be the light. Are
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: we together? Yeah. In Matthew chapter 5, reading from verse
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: 13 to 16, the Bible says, you are the salt,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: speaking to the church now, the salt of the earth,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the salt of New York, the salt of America. It says,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: but if the salt has lost its several, wherewith shall
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: it be salted? It is henceforth good for nothing, but
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: to be cast out and to be trodden under foot
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: of men. 14 now says, you are the light of
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the world. I like this. A city that is set
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: on a hill that cannot be hid. It says, neither
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: do men light a candle and put it under a bushel,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: but on a candlestick and give it light to all
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: that are in the house. Then, 16 leaves us with
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: an instruction, let. The word let there means permit, do
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: not restrict, do not restrain. Let your light so shine
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: before men that they might see your good deeds and
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: glorify your Father which is in heaven. Hallelujah. Amen. So
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: scriptural strategies for challenging times. For our text tonight, we'll
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: look at Romans chapter 8 and then verse 35 to 37.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Romans chapter 8. You love the Bible, shout Amen. Amen.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? It says,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: or peril or the sword. As it is written, for
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: thy sake we are killed all day long. It says,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. Verse 37,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: it says, nay. In all these things, we are more
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: than conquerors through him that loved us. Amen to that
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: scripture in Jesus' name.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Hallelujah.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Now, from a theological standpoint, when you study the book
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: of Ephesians, just for a background, the book of Ephesians
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: is considered one of the most concise theological presentations of
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the believer's walk of faith because you'll find throughout the
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: six chapters that make the book of Ephesians, Paul is
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: mentoring the church in Ephesus. And now he begins, he
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: breaks his exegesis into three. Number one, he brings the
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: believer to a point where you understand your oneness with Christ.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: He reveals to us from a spiritual standpoint. Please look up.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I hope you know that when you read the gospel,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: without the epistles or without, you know, the works, the
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: writings of Paul. Yeah, you would know that Jesus died
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: and rose again, but it was Paul who gave us
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: the hidden meanings. Are we together? We did not know
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: that we were raised up with Christ until Paul taught us.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: We knew that Jesus died, but to what intent? There
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: was no sound exegesis as to the spiritual implication of
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: his death, his burial, his resurrection, his ascension, his glorification.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: It was Paul in chapter 1, chapter 2, and into
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: chapter 3 who began to give us a sound exegesis
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: as to the fact that when Jesus was raised, we
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: were raised with him. Are we together? That he purchased
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: redemption for us by the shedding of blood, the forgiveness
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: of our sins, etc. So Paul begins the first three
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: or so chapters of Ephesians They generally inform the believer
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: about what we call theologically the finished work of Christ.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: And then he brings us to a consciousness of our oneness.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: So the gospel teaches that Jesus died, but Paul teaches
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: us that we died in him. So it's not only
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: that Jesus died, are we together? But that we died
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: in him, we were buried with him, we rose again
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: and we are seated with Christ in heavenly places far
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: above thrones, dominions, etc. If you're following, say amen. And
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: then Paul goes immediately to teach us what we call
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the walk of the believer. So he teaches us how
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: to conduct ourselves in a godly manner, manifesting the character
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: of one who is in Christ. He teaches us that
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: there is an implication. Even though we are not saved
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: by walks, we are saved unto good walks. So he
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: begins to talk about the conduct of one who is
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: in Christ. Ordering your conversations and so on and so forth.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Then Paul introduces another dimension called the walk. It teaches
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: us how to stand against the wiles of the enemy.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Paul does not leave us in the dark as to
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the fact that we are not alone upon the earth.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: that there are demonic forces that are determined, are we together,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: to threaten our liberty and to fight the purposes of
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: God as committed to us to fight the program of God.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: And he begins to give us scriptural strategies. He calls
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: them the whole armor of God. He now begins to
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: talk about the breastplate of righteousness. Are we together now?
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: you know, the helmet of salvation, the sword of the spirit,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the shield of faith, wherewith you will be able to
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: quench all the fiery darts of the enemy. So it's
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: considered theologically that studying the book of Ephesians will give
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: the believer a broad and wholesome picture. So it teaches
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: you that you are seated with Christ. It teaches you
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: how to walk and live victoriously, conducting yourself in a
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: way and manner that brings glory to the name of
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: the Lord. But it also teaches you that you are
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: a warrior and that should the need arise, you will
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: learn to fight the fight of faith that produces victory.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Are we learning already? Amen. So it's not unusual for
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the believer to have challenges. We've been considering, in fact,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: if you have been following the series, we've been having
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: a series of teachings that teach people how to be
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: strong in the midst of unfavorable situations. Last week I
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: taught on the way of escape. And connecting to that teaching,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I want to show you another perspective. These are survival strategies.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: They teach the believer how to survive such that when
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: the storms are down, you are still standing. You see,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: believers should not chicken out of fear. Are we together?
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Most people are afraid and most people fail when storms
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: arise because they are not taught that it is not
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: unusual for believers to go through this. And sometimes, as
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: ministers of the gospel, we make the mistake to sell
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: an idea Not just an idea of victory, an idea
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: of a trouble-free life. The Bible does not promise that,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: not at all. Never will you find the Bible promising
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: a trouble-free life. The Bible only gives us guarantee that
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: even if trouble arises, there is a strategy for victory.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Are we together? Praise the name of the Lord. Two scriptures.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: 2 Corinthians chapter 4, and we'll just look at 8
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and 9, then we'll go to John chapter 16 and
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: verse 8. 33, 2 Corinthians, we are troubled on every side,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: yet not distressed. Who are the we? Believers. They are
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: not unbelievers. He said it is possible to be troubled
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: on every side, and yet in the midst of that trouble,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: you're not distressed. We are perplexed, but not in despair.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Verse 9, we are persecuted, but not forsaken. We are
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: cast down, but not destroyed. Scripture number 2, John 16, 33.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: This is Jesus speaking now. In John chapter 16 and
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: verse 33. He said, these things I have spoken to you.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Please listen America. Listen Koinonia Global. Listen the body of Christ.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: That in me, ye might have peace in the world.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: He says, in the world ye shall have tribulation. But
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: be of good cheer. I have overcome the world. And
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: how many of you know that because He overcame, we
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: are also overcomers? In fact, He calls us more than conquerors.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Do you believe that? Hallelujah. So the Bible tells us
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: it is possible to be troubled on every side. I
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: think it was during come up here earlier on in
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the U.S. I taught something around this and I said
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: that believers can be troubled on some sides. I give
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: you an instance. Your health can be fine. but something
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: may be wrong with your finances. In this case, you
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: are not troubled on every side. You are troubled on
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: some sides, but there are some sides that are fine.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: But like Job, it is possible for a man, even
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: in Christ, to be troubled on every side. Something is
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: wrong with your marriage, wrong with your children, wrong with
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: your health, wrong with your job. There is such a
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: possibility as we sojourn upon the earth that we can
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: be troubled on every side. But then the Bible also
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: tells us that in all these things, we read that
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: earlier on, we are more than conquerors. And I want
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: someone to shout it convincingly. Say, I am more than
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: a conqueror. You look beyond your pain, look beyond the
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: spirit of depression, look beyond the things, your bills, your mortgage,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: your papers, whatever it is, shout it to your hearing
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: and the hearing of the devil. I am more than
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: a conqueror. In the name of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. The
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Bible gives the believer the assurance of victory. That in
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: the midst of all the turbulence and everything that can
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: happen to you, you are assured of victory. I am
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: amazed that even storms and troubles did not spare Jesus.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: You would think because he came as the son of God,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: God incarnate, he would live such a flawless and invincible
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: life as far as being challenged were concerned. But one
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: time the Bible tells us, in fact, let me even
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: back up and tell you, how many of you know
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: that the birth of Jesus itself was chaotic? His childhood
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: was chaotic. You talk about trauma, remember Jesus. How do
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: you grow up not having age mates? Because they were
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: all killed from two years and below. Are we together?
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Are we together? So Jesus grew up in a chaotic environment.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I were the father, I would
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: design that kind of template for the arrival of Jesus.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: But unfortunately, this is what happens in the world of man.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: As soon as he was born, the Bible says Herod
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: picked the signal. He called the Magi and said, please
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: go and investigate. When you find where that king is born,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: let me know. So I'll also come and worship. He
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: intended to kill Jesus. And the angel had to appear
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: to tell Joseph, take this child and go and hide
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the child. Imagine telling Jesus that story at age 5
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: or 6 or 10. That did you know you escaped
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: death at the edge of a knife. And this was
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: supposed to be a savior. We are troubled on every side.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: And then you would think that we're fine. By age 12,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: he went to the temple and now he had a
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: problem with his parents, disturbing childhood. They meet him one
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: time and say, Jesus, where have you been? And he said,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: do you not know? Have you not read that I
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: should be about my father's business? And then from a
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: theological standpoint, for 18 years, we do not hear about
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Jesus again. From age 12, the next time we hear
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: about Jesus, he's 30 years. He shows up at John's crusade.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: John is baptizing and looking for the Christ. And John
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: looks at him and says, behold, the Lamb of God
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: who takes away the sins of the world. He comes
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: to John to be baptized. And John says, no, no, no, no,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I cannot baptize you. I've seen you in the spirit.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I know that you're not an ordinary man. And he said,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: suffer to be so that scripture might be fulfilled. Are
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: we together? Yeah. So Jesus begins his ministry right from
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: that crusade ground. Watch this. Right from Jordan, the Bible
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: tells us the Holy Spirit, not a demon spirit, drove him.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: It was not a suggestion. He compelled Jesus to the wilderness.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Did you know why? To be tempted of the devil.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: It's written in your Bible. That he drove Jesus and
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: he went to the wilderness and then he was... now
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: being tempted of the devil. Can you imagine that? He
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: prays 40 days and 40 nights and guess who shows
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: up after the prayer? Not angels, Satan. And he says, okay,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Matthew chapter 4, I understand that anyone who's been fasting
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: like this should be hungry. So can you turn these
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: stones to bread? You have the power. Jesus replies by saying,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: man shall not live by bread alone, but by every
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: word that proceeds from the mouth of the Father. Then
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the Bible says, he takes him up the temple, the
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: pinnacle of the temple. And he says, can you fall down?
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Because it is written. He shall keep his angels charge
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: over you. They will watch you day and night so
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: that you will not dash your feet against the stone.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Then the Bible says he now took him to an
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: exceeding high mountain, showed him the glories of the world
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: in a moment, a passage of time, and says, if
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: you bow to me, I will give this to you
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: because it's been delivered to me. And then when he's done,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: he rebukes Satan. He says, get thee your son and
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: so forth. And then the angels now come to minister.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: You would think they came too late. If there were
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: angels there, why didn't they stop him from that conversation?
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Whether it was physical, whether it was mental, what were
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: they doing? The Bible says as soon as Satan left,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: the angels came and they ministered to him. And then
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: one of the synoptic accounts will say he now returned
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: in the power of the Spirit. In the power of
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: the Spirit. Meaning that if Jesus succumbed to all of
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: those temptations, you would not even have a ministry begin
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: in the first place. Is someone learning now? And then
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: all through that ministry, I am amazed that the Bible
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: says he returned in the power of the Spirit. I
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: thought that would mean peace, no battles, excellence. And all
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: through from that time until the cross, they gave him
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: no rest. The scribes and the Pharisees had their trouble.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Are we together? If you so dislike a man, leave
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: him to do his crusades alone. But they would come
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: to the crusade ground, watch the miracles and trouble him again.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: We are troubled on every side. Isn't it amazing that
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: there are people who will never let your success be?
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: They will be there, they will put an eye on
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: everything that's happening to you, and yet they will commend
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: so negatively. And sometimes you are tempted to say, all right,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: leave me alone. If you don't believe me, go away.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: But you will always find them. Hallelujah. We are troubled
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: on every side. How about Paul? I don't know any
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: man who was flogged as many times. I mean, how
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: can a man full of the Holy Ghost raising the dead,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Paul was flogged once and again? And whilst in prison,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: you would think Paul would be concerned about his condition.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: He was writing letters in prison. Okay, I hear you're
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: all misbehaving. I'm in the prison now, but shortly I'll
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: be coming out. If I come out, I'm coming there.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of things to fix. What a man. Now,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: you see, when you read the Bible, because of the
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: presence of the Holy Spirit and the dominion power of
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: the Word, sometimes you can program yourself to not see
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: that there were challenges. Jesus was not without challenges. Are
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: we together? America, listen to me. Jesus, as the Son
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: of God, was not without challenges. The patriarchs were not
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: without challenges. The disciples who later became apostles were not
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: without challenges. The early church were not without challenges. Now
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: when you read Bible history, you take a moment and
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: read Bible history, read how all of the apostles of
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: the Lamb died. As far as we know, only just
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: one of them I was told, John, who died a
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: natural death. I mean some of them went through all
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: kinds of things. Bible history will teach us. So it
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: is not unusual for believers to be challenged. Let me
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: go ahead of myself to teach you something. Fight your
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: battles with honor. Don't chicken out. Don't be ashamed. Are
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: we together? If it's a family battle, don't be ashamed
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: of it. Let the naysayers keep talking while you fight
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: the fight of faith. If it's your health, fight it
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: with honor. Are we together? If it's about your prodigal child,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: fight it with honor. Your fight will mean interceding. Your
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: fight will mean bending over backwards. You know, sometimes, and
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: we need to be very careful because sometimes we have
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: this God-like expectation over believers, over one another. And when
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: people pass through battles and storms, we make them feel
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: guilty in the presence of the storms. as though it
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: were an unbelief problem. Sometimes it is not a sin problem.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it is not an unbelief problem. In fact, sometimes
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: the storm arrives because you are moving. I told you
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: this during Sound of Revival. There are certain storms that
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: have no business arising in your life if you're not
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: doing anything spiritually. There are certain storms that arise because
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: your impact is sending a signal in the spirit and
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: the devil is so threatened. It is true. Is it
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: not in your Bible, John's synoptic account, there was a
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: man who was born blind and the disciples were perplexed.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: And they came to Jesus one time. They said, who
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: sinned that this man was born blind? Himself or his father?
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, neither. This is not a sin problem, but
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: that the glory of the Lord be revealed. How about
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: the man at Gate Beautiful? The Bible says he was
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: lame from his birth. Do you blame a child who
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: was lame from his birth? Are we together? So not
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: all challenges are as a result of sin. Not all
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: challenges are as a result of unbelief. Now truly, there
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: are times that sin can give way. Remember when he
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: rebuked one, he said, go and sin no more. So
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: there are people who are trapped by their predicaments, are
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: a direct effect of sin. Others, unbelief. Others, spiritual laxity.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: For instance, prayerlessness. For instance, wordlessness. For instance, not loving
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: the house of God, not growing in grace. All of
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: these things have negative consequences, but there are times that
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: everything can just be fine, but all hell breaks out.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: And maybe someone is in that condition right now. You
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: have sat sincerely and there's nothing, there are no loopholes
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: you are aware of. Your prayer life is intact. I
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: always say it this way, when there is a conflict
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: between your integrity and your results, when your prayer life
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: is intact, your word study life is intact, your love
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: for Jesus is intact, and yet it looks like there
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: are battles, fight it with honor. Fight it with honor.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Are we together? Are we together? Someone say, I will fight.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: It's a fight of faith, so say it. Say, I
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: will fight. Yes, sir. I will fight. Fight for my child.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Fight for my spouse. Fight for my job. Fight for
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: the prophecy over my head. Fight to see that the
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: ministry serves the grace of God. I will fight. I
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: will fight. May not be my cause, I will fight.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: I met a cause that came from my grandfather, but
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I will fight. I will fight till it ends with me.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I will fight till it ends with my children. I
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: will fight till it ends with me. Is someone learning?
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: I will fight it, a fight of faith. I hear
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: that there is a pattern of untimely death, but now
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: that I've showed up, I will fight. It's a fight
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: of faith in the name of Jesus. I hear that
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: no one has served the Lord across my lineage. I
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: will fight. It's a fight of faith. I hear that
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: those who come from my place never rise. They never
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: become global, but I will fight. I will fight with
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: the sword of the spirit. I will fight in prayer.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I will fight as I fast. I will call believers
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: who believe in me. I don't need anybody. Everybody. I
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: just need a few people who believe and I will fight.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: I hear marriages don't work but I will fight. Yes sir.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Yes sir. Yes sir. I hear people worship idols and
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: worship the devil, but I will fight. I may be
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: the first, but I will fight. I may be the only,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: but I will fight. Someone shout, say, I will fight.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: The devil did not hear you. Say, I will fight.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I hear the only way to survive based on the
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: cost that is across my lineage is that you live
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: as a beggar. You have to serve others to fight,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: but I will fight. I will fight. I will fight.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: I will fight. I hear there is a curse that
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: all my children will be autistic, but I will fight.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Someone shout, I will fight. Again, say, I will fight.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Let this be a prophetic word for you. Say, I
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: will fight. Let this word be a weapon in your hand.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: I will fight as I praise. I will fight as
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I cry. I will fight as I fast. In the
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus. I will turn the plates upside down
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: and fast till there is a breakthrough. I will turn
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: the plates upside down and fight until there is a change.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: For the Bible says, surely there is an end. Surely
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: there is an end. Say again, I will fight. Please
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: be seated. I will fight. Laugh at me while I fight.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: I will still fight. Write books about me while I fight.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: I will still fight. Mock me while I fight. I fight,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I will still fight. Misunderstand me while I fight, I
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: will still fight. I don't have time explaining my destiny,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: I will fight. When I win, I will explain. When
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: I win, I will explain. I'm not going to waste
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: my time trying to correct a narrative. I don't have
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: that time. I'm too busy making destiny walk. I will fight.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I will fight. I will fight. Let me hear a
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: proud father say, I will fight. A proud mother say,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I will fight. A proud businessman say, I will fight.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Let me hear an apostle say, I will fight. Let
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: me hear America say, I will fight. Koinonia Global say,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: I will fight. Right from the days of John the Baptist.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: And until now. Is it still in your Bible? That
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: the kingdom suffered violence. And only, only, only, only. Not
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: the organized. Not the calculated. Only the violent. Hallelujah. Our
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: dear sister gave us a testimony. How do you have
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: two children? Because there was a spirit fighting Esther, fighting Deborah.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: I told you, listen, listen. When Satan attacks you, do
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: not think he's fighting you because of you. You are
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: too small a program for Satan to coordinate the arsenals
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: of hell. He's fighting all those connected to your grace.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: He's fighting, when he fights Elizabeth, it is John the
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Baptist he's looking for. When he fights Hannah, it is
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Samuel he's looking for. Satan fights men because of the
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: prophecies on them. Fights men because of the destinies connected
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: to them. Are we together? It's true. This is not entertainment.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: I'm teaching you how the realm of the spirit works.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: If he fights your finances, it's not because of your finances.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: What does he need it for? No. He's fighting because
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: he knows that that finance will send your child to
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: a godly school. He will find his calling there. He
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: will become a mighty servant of God. Satan fights with vision.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: He fights with foresight. That's why the Bible says, Weapons
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: are fashioned. He uses prophecy to fashion weapons. Please be seated.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: I'm angry in my spirit. Let me prophesy over someone.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, the days of shame and
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: fear over your battles. Don't keep running away from Goliath.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: You are emboldening Goliath to mock the God of the armies.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Listen to me. Have the courage to stand. Fight. Bring
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Goliath down. Someone shout, I will fight. Hallelujah. Apostle, can
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I fight alone? Ask David. Apostle, can I fight alone?
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Ask Daniel. Can I fight alone? Ask Esther. Can I
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: fight alone? It says by you, I can run to
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: a troop. And by my God, I can leap over
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: a wall. Come on, pray in the spirit for one minute. Oh,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: I obtain grace. I sense the spirit of faith on someone.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: No more fear. I will fight. My property is about
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: to be foreclosed, but I will fight. I will fight.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: I was diagnosed of cancer, but I will fight. It's
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: a fight of faith. It's a fight of faith. Over
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: my child, I will fight. Over my job, I will fight.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Over the dreams, I will fight. Abuja, are you praying? Zari,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: are you praying? Koinonia Global, are you praying? We're in
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: a season where the body of Christ is under attack
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus. Wear your armor. You are
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: a warrior. You are not just light. You are not
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: just salt. You are a warrior. Obtain grace to fight.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Yahweh, Father of mercy, I come to you.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Yahweh. This is someone who is overwhelmed but still fighting.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Sing Yahweh. Yahweh.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: You're the father of mercy.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: I come to you. Father of mercy. Sing Yahweh. You're
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: the father of mercy. I come to you.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Yahweh.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Yahweh. Father of mercy, I.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Come to you. Father of mercy, I come to you.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Please sit if you can. Sit. If you don't
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: get anything I said tonight, leave with one word. Fight.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Leave with one word. Tweet that word again and retweet
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: it in your mind. Not on social media. They don't
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: need it there. Let it become a stronghold. When you
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: see mountains, challenges, don't run. Fight. Fight until the book
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: is written. Fight until the company is registered. Worry the
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: devil till you win. There's something I know about Satan.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: He can be tired. I assure you, you can worry
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: him by faith. Worry him in prayer. Are we together?
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: The church is not growing. Hold the hands of your wife,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: the only trusted member, and pray. Fight. Fight. The psalmist said,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: many are there that rise up against me. Many are
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: there that say, where is your help? He says, but thou,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: O Lord, you are a shield for me. You are
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: my glory. You are my glory and the lifter of
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: my head.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: You're the father of mercy.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: I come to you.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, Father of mercy, I come to you.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Sing it.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, Father of mercy, I come to you.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Please be seated. Let me teach you something. For someone,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: I am, by this teaching, sharpening your arrows. I'm telling you. Yeah.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Your quiver will be full of these arrows. You will
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: step out of this place and where you would have run,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: you will stand and say, no more. I came for
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: sound of revival and I came for koinonia. No more. No.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: I am a priest. My grandfather ran away. The problem
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: still remains. My grandmother ran away. The problem still remains.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Now I will stand for the sake of my children.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: I will stand for the sake of those coming after me.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: And I will fight till I win. I just sense
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: in my spirit, that's the word for the season. Fight.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: I tell you, fight. Fight. Cry but fight. Fall but fight.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: There's no destiny for a lazy person who is ashamed,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: overly conscious of your reputation. What will people say? They
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: will say, even if you don't do anything, so you
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: can as well fight while they say. Don't lose on
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: two grounds. They talk about Jesus, they talk about Satan.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Either ways, they will talk about you. So while they talk, fight.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Please sit down. Sit down. Can I tell you this?
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Behind every glory you see, there is a story. I
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: can keep you all day telling you the battles that
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: were fought to be here. Make no mistakes about it.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Sometimes the palace can take away the wounds. And you'll
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: be mistaken to think there are no scars. You know
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: why scars remain? It reminds you that you fought. When
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: you get to heaven today, one of the ways you
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: will know Jesus is not just by the royal crown.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: There is only one man who has his scar on
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: his hand. It's a testament of fighting for the victory
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: of mankind. Don't be ashamed of your wounds. Don't be
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: ashamed of your scars. Fight. Can I tell you, the
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: scars that look like a basis for shame today will
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: be the reason why you will be honored tomorrow. There
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: are A certain seat, when you get to the table
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: of greatness, it is only for those who have scars.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: If you are too innocent, you will stay outside. Listen
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: to my message, lessons from an overcomer. The Bible says,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: to him that overcomes, he will be given a crown
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: and a white stone. To him that overcomes, to the
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: mother that overcomes, to the father that overcomes, To the
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: single mom that overcomes. To the preacher that overcomes. You
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: have a strategy to compromise and find it easy. But
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: you decided to stand alone. To the politician that overcomes.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: To the intercessor that overcomes. Now let me show you
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: some strategies. Please sit. I intended for my message to
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: be as simple as possible tonight. I hope it still is.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: strategies for challenging times. If you don't have any battle
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: before you now, don't be flattered. Life is still joking
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: with you. Keep rising, keep shining, keep growing, keep living long.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: Can I tell you, don't claim long life if you
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: don't know how to fight. Don't desire longevity if you
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: don't know how to fight. I'll give you four keys
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: if you're ready shout I'm ready number one the first
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: scriptural strategy for surviving challenging times are you ready when
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: challenges mount up before you it doesn't matter whether it
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: comes as confrontations from systems from structures from demons from
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: men your health doesn't matter first key be strong in
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: the Lord Be strong in the Lord. Write that down.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Ephesians chapter 6 and verse 10. I wish that we
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: read this from Amplified. Otherwise, that's fine. We work with KJV.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Be strong in the Lord. The Bible says, in conclusion,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: be strong in the Lord. Watch this. Be empowered through
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: your union with him. It says, draw your strength from him.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: That strength which his boundless might provides. Be strong. Be strong.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: Be strong. Be strong in the Lord. In the name
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: of Jesus, when challenges stand before you, you must learn
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: to draw strength. The word be strong means draw strength.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: That immediately suggests that if you do not have a
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: functional relationship with the Holy Ghost, because he is the
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: spirit of power. Are we together? The Bible says if
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: you turn aside in the day of battle, talk to
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: me believers, it is because your strength is.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: How do you grow strength in the spirit? By pressing
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: to have a functional knowledge of God. Daniel 11, 32,
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: the B part says, but the people that do know,
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: that means know indeed, not a theoretical knowledge, not a
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: religious knowledge. Are we together? Not an intellectual knowledge. The
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: people that do know their God, the Bible says, the gift,
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: the reward they receive for pressing to know God is
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: that they will be strong. As mysterious as God is,
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, I want you to know that God
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: can be known. He wants to be known. John 17
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: and verse 3. This is life eternal that they may
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: know thee, the only true God. Are we together? And
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: Jesus whom thou hast sent. God can be known. You
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: may want to listen to my message. Let me refer
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: you to it. The knowledge of the holy. Write that down, please.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: the knowledge of the holy. Go to Koinonia Global YouTube
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: and listen to it, particularly if you're a man of God.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: These are some of the arsenals you will need in
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: these end times. God can be known. Hallelujah. God can
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: be known. Yes, sir, you can know him. The Bible
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: wisdom and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. You
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: can know God From a theological standpoint, there are three
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: ways to know God. Number one, you know God by
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: learning His character. The Lord is gracious and compassionate. The
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Bible says He is slow to anger. He is rich
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: in love. In my opinion, the richest capture of the
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: character of God as revealed in the Bible is found
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: in Psalm 103. 103. You may want to read from
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: start to finish. It provides in my study of scripture,
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: and I've studied the Bible a bit. When you study
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: the Bible, there is no other portion of scripture I
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: am aware of that has the richest compendium, the richest
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: capture of God's character on display in one chapter of
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: the Bible. Psalm 103. Are we together? So we know
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: God by learning his character. Number two, we know God
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: by learning his ways, his principles, his modus operandi. You
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: can study the ways of God to know God. Number three,
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: we know God by studying his power. You can study
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: the dynamics of his power. Ephesians chapter 1 from verse 19.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: Paul began to pray from verse 16. that the eyes
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: of our understanding be enlightened, flooded with light, amplified, says
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: that we may know the hope of his calling and
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: so on and so forth. Then when we get to
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: verse 19, he prays Ephesians 1, 19, that we may
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: know the exceeding greatness of his power to us who believe.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: The exceeding greatness of his power. Something happens to you
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: when you know how powerful God is. I have spoken
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: once and twice have we heard that power belongs to God.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: When you come into an experiential understanding of how powerful
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: God is, it plants faith. Bible faith is derived from
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: your encounter. Is someone learning? That by you I can
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: run through a troop and by my God I can
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: leap over a wall. Psalm 66 verse 3, say unto God,
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: how terrible are thou in thy walks. He says, it
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: is through the greatness of your power that your enemies
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: will submit themselves to you. Is someone learning? He's a
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: God of power. He is. He is. Miriam wrote a
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: song attesting to his power and she said, I will
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: sing unto the Lord. For he has triumphed gloriously. He
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: said the horses and its rider have been thrown into
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: the sea. The God of power. The God of grace.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: So when you know God by learning his character, it
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: can empower you to judge prophecies. Someone can speak to
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: you and you know that this prophetic word is inconsistent.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: If you come to me and say I will die tomorrow,
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: I will ask you is there hope? If you say no,
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: I will say God bless you, get out of my way.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: There's something about the character of God that fights that prophecy.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: Because I know from his character that the Lord is
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: gracious and compassionate. Number two, that to him that is
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: joined to the living, there is still hope. It's impossible
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: to receive a word and a verdict. Even if you
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: are Hezekiah, there is still hope. Are we together? So
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: the knowledge of God's character can help you to judge prophecy.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: It's true. The knowledge of his ways. Moses cried and said,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: show me your ways. Then he said, show me your glory.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: His glory is trapped in his ways. It's called the
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: ancient path, Jeremiah.
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: 6, 16.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: That you stand in the way and that ancient path,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: are we together? And that you ask for it. When
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: you find it, you walk in that path and you
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: will find rest. You will come into your Sabbath in experience.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: You can know God by studying the mysteries of the kingdom.
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: Matthew 13, 11. It has been given unto you to
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. Hallelujah. He
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: showed his ways to Moses, the Bible says, but to
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: the nation of Israel they saw his act. If we're
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: still together, say amen. Amen. Hallelujah. So you draw, I'm
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: giving you the first key, scriptural strategies for challenging times.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: Number one, be strong in the Lord. And that strength...
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: comes as a direct product of a functional relationship with
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, a functional relationship with the Holy Spirit. Recall
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: I told you that there are four major encounters that
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: a believer must have. Remember? Sound of revival. Number one,
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: an encounter with Jesus, the Son of the living God.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Number two, an encounter with the person and the ministry
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit. You need both. It's important. The
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit is called a paraclete from the Greek word paraka.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: Allos paracletos. Another one who is sent or a similar
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: one to stand. The word allos means of a similar content,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: of a similar material, an extension of the same. So
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: he's a paraclete of the Father. He's the strengthener. He's
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: the standby. He's the comforter. Are we together? He's the teacher.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: He's the guide. He comes to the believer. He is
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: God's gift to the believer. The Holy Spirit is what
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: the Bible calls the blessing. The blessing is not just
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: cars and houses. No. The blessing of Abraham talks of
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: justification by faith. Then it gives you access to the
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: promise of the Spirit. And that's what the Bible calls
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: the blessing. The blessing. The blessing.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: The Holy Spirit.
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit. can strengthen a mortal man to manifest
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: God-like possibilities. You must learn to draw your strength from him.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: The Bible says he that is joined to Christ is
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: one spirit. Look up please. You want to build a
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: functional relationship with Jesus? I give you three keys. Still
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: on point one. But I'm digressing to add flesh to
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: your understanding. Number one, you must develop a systemic prayer life.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: A systemic, consistent prayer life. To the one who desires
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: a functional relationship with God, prayer cannot be circumstantial. Prayer
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: cannot be conditional. If your prayer life is epileptic, so
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: will go your destiny. You're up today, you're down tomorrow.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: Are we together? Are we together? You must commit yourself
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: to a systemic prayer life. In the Bible, they call
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: a certain hour the hour of prayer. You must, through discipline,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: there is no gift of prayer. It's a product of discipline.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: Are we together now? Yes, there is a spirit of prayer.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: Are we together? But you must take advantage of that
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: enabling grace and submit yourself to prayer. Acts chapter 6
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: and verse 4. But we will give ourselves continually to
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: prayer and to the ministry of the word. Notice the order.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: To prayer first, then the ministry of the word. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: You'll never enjoy a rich relationship with the Holy Ghost
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: if you're not given to prayer. You must invest time. America,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: give God time. Believers, give God time. Now, I appreciate
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: the fact that we live in a world and an
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: economic context where you have to make ends meet. I understand.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not insensitive to your needs, but let me charge you.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: I'm speaking from America to the nations of the earth.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: God is calling believers to give him time. Give him time.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: There are many things we seek that can only be
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: found in his presence. Because a man can receive nothing
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: truly except and unless it is given to him from above.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: Is that true? The blessings that come from one encounter
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: in the place of prayer can redefine your next decade.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: Can redefine the next 20 years of your life. It
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: is true. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. You can draw favor from the
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: place of prayer. You can draw wisdom from the place
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: of prayer. And that will already rewrite the narrative of
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: your destiny. Prayer is not a burden. And when I
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: talk of prayer, I'm not talking of the religiosity of prayer.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: The scribes and the Pharisees were prayerful. But their prayer
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: did not produce power. Because behind their prayer life was
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: a desire to show people they were spiritual. No, I'm
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: not talking of this falsehood around the prayer ministry. I'm
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: talking of a dogged determination to build a functional relationship
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: that is provable. Provable. Provable. Now, you can say you
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: know me, but it's up to me to reply back
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: and say it's true, I know you. Am I right
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: on that? So many people can say I know God,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: but it's one thing for God to say I know
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: you too. I know you. There is a koinonia that happens,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: a participation, a sharing together. We are not strangers to
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: one another. It's someone learning. You want to be strong
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: in the Lord, you must be given to the ministry
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: of prayer. Number two, you want to be strong in
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: the Lord, you must submit to the truths of Scripture.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: You must submit. Submit to the truths of Scripture. Don't
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: just open up your Bible and read it religiously. Believe
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: the things that are written there. Hallelujah. Praise the name
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: of the Lord. Now, you must grow in the knowledge
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: of God. If you don't submit to growing in the
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: knowledge of God through a consistent, systemic study of Scripture...
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: You cannot be strong in the Lord. But the people
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: that do know their God, they shall be strong. Someone say,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: I receive strength. Say, I will be strong. I will
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: be strong. In the midst of storms, I will be strong. Hallelujah.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: So the second strategy, very quickly so that we can pray.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: I hope you are learning so far. The second strategy,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: are you ready? Walk and live by the principles of
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: the word of God. Walk and live by the principles
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: of the word of God. Walk and live by the
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: principles of the word of God. In other words, live
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: by the word. Don't just hear the word. Don't just
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: study the word. Literally, let the word of God be
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: the governing principle around your life. Walk and live by
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: the principles of the word of God. Matthew chapter 4
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: and verse 4. Jesus is speaking. His response to Satan.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Man shall not live by bread alone. You know what
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: bread means in this context? It means that which is
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: of earthly origin. Man shall not live by skill alone.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: Man shall not live by your certificate alone. Man shall
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: not live by your human efforts alone. But by every
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: word that proceeded out of the mouth of God. I'll
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: show you another scripture very quickly. Psalm 89. Give us
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: from verse 34 and verse 35. Psalm 89, 34, and 39.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: Dave soon will sing the song Spirit Lead Me. So
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: just prepare. I just sense in my heart that you
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: just sing that song once, twice, and then it will
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: be a word of encouragement for someone. My covenant. Believers,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: are we still together? My covenant will I not break.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: This is God speaking. Nor alter the thing that is
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: gone out of my lips. 35. It says once have
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: I sworn in my holiness that I will not lie
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: unto Joshua Selman. That means if he told you he
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: will lift you. He will lift you. If he told
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: you you will come out, then you will come out.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: Now it's up to you to believe. I have taught
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: you that when God says it, it doesn't automatically mean
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: it will come to pass. He will not force his
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: word on you. Else you will become a demon. He
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: gave you the power to choose. Setting before you life
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: and death, blessing and cursing. You are going to have
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: to work in partnership with him. You know what amen means?
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: Amen should not originally, really, Amen should not just be
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: something you chant in church. Amen is actually a lifestyle
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: of alignment to the speakings of God. So you can
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: verbalize Amen and not manifest Amen. Amen is beyond saying it.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: Amen is a capture of your willingness to align with
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: the speakings of God. So an individual may not verbalize Amen,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: yet in his life it is Amen. Are we together now?
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: And someone can shout amen, but walk in perpetual disalignment.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: So next time you say amen, know that your verbalizing
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: it is just one part. You have to be determined
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: to take advantage of his grace to be on the
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: Lord's side. I preach a message like that and it's
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: worth listening to if you care who is on the
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: Lord's side. It's a powerful message you want to listen to.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: Are we together now? My covenant will I not break,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: nor alter the thing that is gone forth from my mouth.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, there are a plethora of promises. A
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: plethora of promises that have been proposed by God to
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: the believer. You find that in 2 Peter chapter 1,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: particularly verse 4. Verse 3 says, grace and peace be
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: multiplied unto you. Are we together? Through the knowledge of Jesus,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: you know, and all of that. And then verse 3 says,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: according as his power, as his divine power, have given
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: us all things that pertain unto life and godliness. But
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: that this comes through the knowledge of him that has
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: called us into glory and virtue. If you care, shout
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: verse 4 with me. Ready? One, two, go. Are we
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: Bible students? You see that? So the Bible says we
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: have been given exceeding great and precious promises. Again, that's
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: the name of one sermon you want to listen to.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: Exceeding great and precious promises. It's important for you to
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: know what God has said about you. And in case
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: you've forgotten, let me remind you for a moment. He
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: said you are the head and not the tail. The
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: question is, do you believe it? He says you are
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: above only, only, only and never beneath. He said a
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: thousand shall fall by your side and ten thousand shall
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: fall by your right side. But none shall hurt you
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: with your eyes shall you see. And the reward of
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: the wicked is true. He said the works of your
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: hands are blessed. Did he not say you will be
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: exalted above all the nations of the earth and that
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: this blessing will come upon you and overtake you? He
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: said he will lose the loins of kings for your sake.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: That they would desire to eat your flesh. They will
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: stumble and they will fall. It's written in the Bible.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: They are called exceeding great and precious promises. Did he
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: not say the fullness of your days you will fulfill?
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: Am I right on that? That day that be planted
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: in the house of God, they will flourish in the
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: courts of our God. That even in old age, they
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: will be fat and they will be flourishing. My Bible
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: says the path of the just, sorry to correct you,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: the path of Joshua Selman is as a shining light
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: that shined brighter and brighter more and more unto the
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: perfect day. That's what the Bible says. It is true.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: It is true. The Bible says I will be called
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: Beulah and Hephzibah. Is that true? That the nations will
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: call you blessed. Say I'm blessed. Don't mind the devil.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: Say I'm blessed. Don't mind social media. Say I'm blessed.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: It's true. That's what he said. He said, though my
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: beginning be small. that my latter end shall greatly increase.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: Is it not written in your Bible that the Lord
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: will increase you more and more? You and your children.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: You and your children. Come on now, you and your children.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: He told Abraham that through you, in you, shall all
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: the families of the earth be blessed. I was not there,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: but thanks to Paul, he said in Galatians 3.29, if
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: according to the promise. And so that's why I come in.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: Like Abraham, I can shout. The world will be blessed
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: through me. I'm not a curse. I'm not a liability
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: to my generation. I am a blessing. Say, I'm a blessing.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: You already said you are blessed. Now say, I am
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: a blessing. Convincingly say, I am a blessing. Hallelujah. Exceeding
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: great and precious promises. Now let me tell you, ladies
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen. Please sit for a moment. Sit for a moment.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: Do you know what it means to walk by faith?
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: To walk by faith does not just mean to walk
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: by confessing scripture. It means to be committed to literally
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: run your life using this software, this fuel called the
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: Word of God. Like a car depends on gas. Are
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: we together? Are we together? There's no car that does
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: not depend on anything. If it's not gas, it's electricity.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: You recharge it, am I right? Yes. Every car depends
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: on something to energize it, to power it, to run.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: So to live by faith does not just mean to
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: confess the word of God. That's wonderful. But it means,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: number one, that you must have a determination in your
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: heart that the word of God will be exalted above feelings,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: above thoughts, that it must become absolute. Listen, the word
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: of God must gain supremacy above every other thought, above
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: every other opinion. That means it does not matter what
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: I feel. Whatever the word of God says, I run
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: my life by that software. Are we together? Because you see,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: the power of God. Only, please listen, the power of
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: God is managed by the will of God. So you
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: don't make the power of God do just anything you
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: want it to do. The power of God is not
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: a spiritual mechanism for fulfilling any lusts. No. The power
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: of God only goes the direction of the will of God.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: So there are many people who believe they are walking
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: by faith. The object of their expectation is already outside
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: of the will of God. So it doesn't matter what
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: confession they make. It will not come to pass. because
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: it is inconsistent with the will of God. Bible faith
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: begins when the will of God is known. And there
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: are two ways, in fact, three ways to know the
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: will of God. Number one, Scripture. The word of God
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: as written, it's a compendium of the will of God.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: Number two, the unique ministry of the Holy Spirit to
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: you as a revealer of the mind of God. Number three,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: the prophetic. These are the three channels based on scripture
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: for designing and accessing the will of God. I repeat
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: again for your learning. Number one, The written word of
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: God is the first and principal basis for extracting the
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: will of God as far as your life is concerned.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: Number two, the unique ministry of the Holy Spirit as
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: the revealer of the will of God. The Bible says
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: in 2 Corinthians from verse 8, you read downwards, it
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: says the Holy Spirit can search the mind of the
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: Father and to reveal to us the things that are
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: freely given. And then the ministry of the prophetic spirit. Hallelujah. America,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: Koinonia Global, Body of Christ, live by the word of God.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: By the message of God, I can tell you the
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: reason why we are able to do this much for
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: the kingdom, it is because we carried our frail lives,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: incapacitated by every definition, and we handed that life and
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: covered it with the word of God. And look what
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: is made out of us. It pays to submit to
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: the word of God. Little you... plus the word of
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: God is called a giant. Frail you plus the word
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: of God will be called a giant. Hallelujah. Not that
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: we are sufficient in ourselves, the Bible says, but that
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: our sufficiency is of God who has made us abled ministers.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: When you find ordinary people doing much for the kingdom,
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: you know, I was meditating really this morning and I
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: was just overwhelmed by the goodness of God over my life.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: And then I had a little clip, the picture of
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: what happened here in this auditorium. And I was just reminiscing. Now,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: I've seen many of these things. And you would think
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: that after seeing stadiums and seeing auditoriums packed, I would
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: get so familiar. I was just overwhelmed by the goodness
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: and the kindness of God. And you know what happened?
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: I remembered again those days in my vision. Little me,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: not known me. Are we together? And yet he proposed
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: to me that if I believed him, he would take
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: me to the nations to serve his grace. God for you. Hallelujah.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: Is someone learning? Never conclude on a man who respects
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: the word of God. You are making a mistake. When
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: you find a man of God, I don't care how frail,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: I don't care how weak, I don't care how failed
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: that man is. Provided you decide to exalt the word
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: of God above and beyond anything, you can start and
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: you can emerge. In the name of Jesus. So in
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: addition to being strong, you must make a commitment. Ladies
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen, hear me. Life begins when you respect the
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: word of God. Hallelujah. And let me tell you how
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: to walk it. I'll tell you how to live by
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: the word of God. Number one, run your life by scriptures.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: Before you execute any goal, any desire, any whatever, find
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: scriptures that support what you are doing. And then investigate
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: whether or not your goals are consistent with the will
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: of God. Because you see, the Bible is a prophetic book.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: You can make it speak any language you want it
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: to speak. You can manipulate the Bible to respond to
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: your lust. So it's not enough that you find a scripture.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: You must investigate using these three channels. Scripture itself, the
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: ministry of the Holy Ghost, and of course the ministry
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: of the prophetic. Verify whether what you are embarking on
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: is the will of God. I give you an example.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: Talk to me, believers. How many of you believe it
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: is God's will to establish you? How many of you
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: believe you will be a better Christian if you own
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: your home? How many of you believe that if God
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: empowers you, he'll give you room to serve his purposes?
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: How many of you believe fruitfulness is the will of God?
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: How many of you believe length of days is the
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: will of God? How many of you believe a responsible, prosperous,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: godly home according to Psalm 112 is the will of God?
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: How many of you believe healing and health is the
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: will of God? How many of you believe that the
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: territorial influence of the church is the will of God?
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: How many of you believe that salvation is the will
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: of God? How many of you believe that attaining unto
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: spiritual maturity for the believer is the will of God?
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: How many of you believe America for Jesus is the
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: will of God? Nigeria for Jesus is the will of God?
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: Ghana for Jesus the will of God? Jamaica for Jesus
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: the will of God China for Jesus the will of
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: God Iraq for Jesus, the will of God. Iran for Jesus,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: the will of God. Until the knowledge of the glory
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: of the Lord covers the whole earth as waters the sea.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: Now listen, I'm teaching you how to live by the
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: word of God. You don't cook up opinions that come
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: from your lust and then just sandwich it with the
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: word of God and try to manipulate the hand of
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: God to bring it to pass. The believer does not
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: live that way. It's important you are aware of the
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: promises of God. That's where your confidence comes from. When
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: you know you are in the will of God. Here's
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: how the Bible puts it. And this is the confidence
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: that we have. That if we ask anything that is
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: in accordance to his will. Man of God. Is it
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: the will of God for you to use your church
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: as a soul winning platform? I answer you without prophesying. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: So if you are not aware of the will of God,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: you cannot live by the word of God. Hallelujah. Most
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: times people resort to the word of God as a
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: last and final opinion after exhausting their intellect, exhausting all
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: kinds of options. Forever, oh Lord, the Bible says your
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: word is settled in heaven. Are we together? Heaven and
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: earth will pass away, but it says not one jot
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: of his word will fail. The word of God is believable.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: You can trust the word of God. You can run
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: your life by the word of God. Let the word
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: of God be the constitution that governs your life. Let
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: it be your modus operandi. Are we together? That any
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: other way and any other path that is outside of
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: or inconsistent with the word of God, you must be
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: determined to shelve it away peacefully and live by the word. Now,
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: I tell you this. For a while, the word of
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: God may not seem to produce.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: Be patient.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: Be patient. but it will certainly produce. The Bible says
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: he shall be like a tree that is planted by
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: the riverside, which yield its fruit in season. May not
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: be every day, but it will yield its fruit in season.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: Whose leaf does not wither, and whatsoever he doeth prospers.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: If you are learning, say amen. scriptural strategies for challenging times.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: So America, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Zambia, everywhere across the globe, Europe, China,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: the Caribbeans, listening to me, I'm encouraging you that when
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: you face challenging times, number one, be strong in the Lord.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: Draw your strength from the richness of your union with
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit through prayer. Are we together? And then
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: be determined to live by the word. Let your speakings
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: be consistent with scripture. Don't speak like a non-believer. Are
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: we together? It doesn't mean to not face reality. Are
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: we together? But to learn to superimpose. Remember, I've taught
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: you that the words that you speak, the Bible says
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: in John 6, 63, the words that I speak unto you,
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: they are spirit. You know what that means? The word
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: spirit there is the word pneuma. It doesn't just mean spooky.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: It means energy. That it produces energy. There is a frequency. Really. Really.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: This is not some Scientology. It's the truth. The word
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: of God carries energy, creative power. The words that I
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: Spirit and life. He's a talking spirit. And like him,
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: you must also be a spirit that speaks. God is
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: not a noise-making spirit, but he's a talking spirit. He
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: speaks life. Rambling around does not make you a talking spirit.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: You will be a talkative, yes, but not a talking spirit.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: A talking spirit is one who does not waste words.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: He uses words to create and recreate possibilities. You wake
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: up in the morning, here's what you say. Teaching you
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: how to live by the word of God. This is
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: the day that the Lord has made. I rejoice and
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: I'm glad in it. And while you are at that,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: some nasty email comes. In the name of Jesus, I
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: do not look at the things that are sinned. but
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: the things that are unseen. For the things that are
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: seen are temporal, but the things that are unseen are permanent.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: On your way out, the devil uses someone to say
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: some nasty thing in the name of Jesus. I choose
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: to be peaceful. I reject offense. I am a child
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: of God. I purify my heart and my conscience. The
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: joy of the Lord is my strength always. Who is learning?
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: Whilst you are taking your shower, instead of complaining, grumbling,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: and thinking about nonsense, you are prophesying, creating things even
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom. In the name of Jesus, as I
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: step out today, favor follows me. The Bible says so.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: He gives me daily my benefit. I am prepared to
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: receive that of today. Give me my daily bread, that
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: which is needed for my sufficiency. In the name of Jesus,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: I call forth helpers of my destiny. They that have
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: been touched by the hand of God, they position themselves
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: strategically across the corridors of my destiny, showing me favor,
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: granting me unusual access, granting me unusual acceptance. They become
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: enhancers to my becoming. In the name of Jesus, I
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: am not without help. I will call on one and
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: a nation will respond to me. This is the believer
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: living by the word of God. This is not a
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: Sunday to Sunday pretentious thing that you run your life
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: by this software. Who is learning tonight? You get to
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: your doctor and he gives you an honest report and
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: tells you something that is inconsistent with the word of God.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: Now don't insult him. It's not his fault. He's doing
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: his professional duty and you receive it. You thank him
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: like Hezekiah. You turn your face to the world. The
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: world may mean your way back home. And say in
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: the name of Jesus, death and life is in the
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: power of my tongue. I choose to leave. Death, not now,
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: not soon, not even later. In the name of Jesus,
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: I leave. I leave. I leave. You're flying in the
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: air and you speak. The devil begins to suggest, hope
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: you told your loved ones goodbye. You say in the
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus Christ, the prince of the power of
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: the air, you have no way here. In the name
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ, I send the word and I decree
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: and declare I will arrive safely because he's Alpha Omega.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: He began that journey with me. I will land well.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ. I hope you're not
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: just clapping. Do you believe what you're hearing? Live like
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: this and watch your life change. Apostle, I don't know
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: what to do. I'm in confusion right now. Let me
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: tell you what to do. Begin to speak that the
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: wisdom of God is at work in me. The spirit
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: of wisdom has unrestrained access to my mind. I may
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: not as yet know what to do, but in the
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus, I engage the ministry of the only
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: wise God. And I declare by His Spirit that wisdom
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: will distill itself from the heart of the Father to
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: my consciousness. I may not as yet know what to do,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: but I'm not without a strategy. I tap into the
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: hidden wisdom of God. A message for you to listen
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: to again. In the name of Jesus, I am not
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: without help. Someone say, I receive wisdom. I receive wisdom.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: Shout it like you need it. I receive wisdom. Let
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: a businessman shout it like you need it. Say, I
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: receive wisdom. Say, I receive strategies. I receive wisdom. I
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: receive strategies classified for my victory. Again, say, I receive wisdom.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: Turn it to prayer in one minute. I receive wisdom
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: for the times. Wisdom for my job. Wisdom for my home.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus it's the hidden wisdom of
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: God someone pray clap your hands in one minute and
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: pray like you are serious in the name of the
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus Christ I receive wisdom by the power of
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost I receive wisdom in the name of
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: Jesus I receive wisdom by the power of the Holy
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: Ghost in Jesus name please you be seated be seated
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: hallelujah When men say there is a casting down, don't
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: criticize them. Don't hate on people. Now that's a disclaimer.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: Because sometimes believers in a bid to demonstrate what they
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: call faith, they become a nuisance to society. Don't go
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: around the street harassing people and insulting them. Everyone is
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: entitled to his speakings. If you don't like what they say,
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: intercede for them. And if you have the chance, you
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: can talk to them in love. Don't go around slapping
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: the faces of people with words and hating on them.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: Now you are not a Christian. You are a nuisance
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: if you do that. Is someone learning? But hold fast
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: your profession of faith. Hold it fast. Like a captain,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: an experienced, determined captain holding to the rudder of a
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: ship and navigating through the tides at sea until he gets,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: he arrives safely. That's how you run your life. I
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: believe this. Dave, are you ready? Spirit lead me. And then,
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: now listen to this. I want him to minister to
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: you in one minute. Koinonia Global, you listen very quickly.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: And then I'll give you the third and the fourth.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: And then we're done tonight. Who is learning so far?
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: Your only thank you, listen, your only thank you to
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: me is your transformation. That the next time we come here,
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: we will meet mighty men. Men and women. who live
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: by the word of God. As pastors, as businessmen. Praise
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: the name of the Lord. Right, so go ahead.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 3: Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander. And
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 3: my faith will be met. where my trust is without borders.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 3: Let me walk upon the waters wherever you would call me.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: And take me.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 3: Deeper than my feet could ever wander. And my faith
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 3: would be made stronger if the presence.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: Of my.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: Whilst you're standing in one minute before you sit, without shouting,
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: without yelling, in one minute, I'd like you to just
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: see the Holy Spirit resting, giving you wisdom, leading you,
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: showing you a way out. There had no temptation that
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: has befallen man except that which is similar that has
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: come upon all men and that with every temptation, God
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: will make for you a way of escape so that
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: you are not overwhelmed by it. One minute. I'd like
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: you to see yourself coming out of that financial challenge.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: See God fixing your home again. See God fixing your
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: son again. Fixing your life again. See the prodigal son
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: coming back home again. The prodigal daughter coming back home again.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: See yourself emerging triumphant after years, maybe decades of battles
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: and fighting. That's the victorious believer emerging. That's the victorious
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: mother emerging. That's the victorious businessman emerging. That's the woman
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: who's been without child. The one who's been called Ichabod.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: Now a joyful mother of children. That's the man who's
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: been without job. But by the favor of God. Now
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: rejoicing in plenty. It is the Lord's doing. And if
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: it is the Lord's doing. Then it must sooner or
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: later be marvelous in our eyes. And keeping that vision
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: cast before you. I prophesy over you. That everything you
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: have seen through the eyes of faith. With the eyes
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: of faith. Sooner than expected. May it become your testimony.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: May it manifest before you. Some of you, to your
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: shock and your surprise, to your amazement, may it manifest
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus. Perhaps for someone with strong faith,
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: this week beginning, in the name of Jesus, let it
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: be the week that fulfills every prophetic word that's been
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: spoken from January until now. You receive that, shout amen.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: Shout amen again. Shout amen one last time. Please be
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: gloriously seated. Scriptural strategies for survival. Number three, in addition

• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: here's how I wanted to listen. Here's how I wrote
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: it and you listen and then you write. The third key,
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: you want to survive turbulent times until you win, until
• 1:32:18

• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: family system that God has placed within the body of Christ.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: I'll explain to you what I just wrote, what I
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: just dictated as you write. Embrace the spiritual family system
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: that God has placed within the body of Christ. That
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: means you must embrace what we call corporate Christian living.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: Embrace the spiritual family system. Spiritual dash family dash system
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: that God has put within the body of Christ. Hebrews
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: chapter 10, 24 and 25. Quickly please. Hebrews chapter 10.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: It says, and let us consider one another... To provoke
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: unto love and unto good works. Now verse 25. It
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: says not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together. Take note together.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: As the manner of some is. But exhorting one another.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: And so much the more as you see the day approaching.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: Second scripture. And then I explain for you what you
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: just wrote. Acts chapter 2 from verse 1 to 4.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: Did you know that the Holy Ghost did not just
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: come because the day of Pentecost was fully come? The
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: Holy Ghost also came because he found them in one accord.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: When the day of Pentecost was fully come, this was
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: the first reason that the day was fully come. Are
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: we together? And then the second reason is that he
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: found them in one accord and in one place. This
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: is very powerful. In one accord. In one accord. And
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: in one place. In one accord. Harmony. And in one place.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: Psalm 133. The popular scripture. Quoted portions of this earlier on.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: 133 and verse 1. Behold how good and how pleasant
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: it is. The Bible says when brethren dwell together in unity.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: There you see the word together again. Verse 2. It
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: says it is likened to the precious ointment upon the
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: head that ran down to the bed. and even to
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: Aaron's bed, and went down to the skirts of his garment,
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: and as the dew of Hamon, and as the dew
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: that descended upon the mountains. For there the Lord had
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: commanded the blessing. In that gathering, in that state, the
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: Lord had commanded the blessing, even life forevermore. Praise the
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: name of the Lord. In Acts chapter 2 and verse 42,
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: We see this in the life of the early church.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: That even though they had distinct experiences, every once and
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: again they gathered together. The Bible says they continued steadfastly
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: in the apostles' doctrine and in fellowship, in breaking of
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: bread and in prayer. We're reading to 47. And fear
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: came upon every soul and many wonders and signs were
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: done by the apostles. 44. 44. It says, and all
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: that believed were together. Watch this. All that believed were
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: together and had all things in common. 45. Now, they
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: sold their possession and goods. You will not sell yours
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: in Jesus' name. This was the early church. Now, there's
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: no reason for this. And they continuing daily. Now, watch this.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: Continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: bread from house to house. did eat their meat with
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: gladness and with singleness of heart. As a result, they
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: were praising God and having favor with all men, and
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: the Lord added daily to the church, not to the person,
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: to the church, the gathering of believers, as many as
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: should be saved. I'll tell you this. The key to
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: sustaining kingdom values is to have a community lifestyle as believers.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: In isolation, there is a limit to what you can do.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: In isolation, there is a limit to how far you
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: can go. And this is something that many believers do
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: not understand. So they might be doing well as individuals,
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: but surprisingly, if you do not embrace the community culture
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: of the kingdom, are we together? God is a family-oriented God.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: Are we together? And if God desires to help believers,
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: what happens? Regardless the unique spiritual experience you have, God
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: will pick you and plant you within a spiritual family
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: for your growth, for your nourishment. Are we together? Yes.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: It is dangerous to be in isolation, especially in these
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: end times. Now, there are many believers who believe that
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: they do not need to be part of a larger
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: spiritual family. And they sustain that orientation to their peril.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: Because when Satan strikes, there are times you may not
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: have the strength and the energy to fight, but you
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: can leverage on the corporate community living for your victory.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: Do you believe this? I will always give this example.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: Watch this. Imagine, say, during winter or so, You are able,
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: you have your coal. You put your coal together to
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: light your fire. How many of you know that if
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: you pick one hot coal and you bring it out
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: of that collection and drop it, you don't need to
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: blow any air by itself. It begins to grow cold.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: Are we together? So the power, its ability to produce
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: heat for your home, it's in its togetherness. When Satan
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: wants to destroy an individual, among the many strategies that
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: he deploys is that he uses offense to cause you
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: to fight everyone who can help you. The people who
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: represent your community, your prayer friends, you know, those who
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: can stand with you, can believe God with you through offense.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: When you fight them and you are alone, then he
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: strikes you. Are we together? It's true. It's the reason
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: why part of the manifestation of the spirit of depression
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: you see is that they always want to be alone.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: The devil isolates them. They hate family. They hate togetherness.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: It's because he wants to strike them. It's important. God
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: takes individuals and he plants them in families. Who is
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: understanding me so far? I pray for you in the
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus Christ that the blessings that is connected
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: to the corporate life of believers, you will receive from
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: that blessing. That in as much as you have your
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: personal walk with God, your private walk with God, your
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: secret place, you will draw that which has come from
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: your secret place and there will be a sharing together
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: when you come alone. I hope you know that when
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: you gather like this, you are receiving both vertically and horizontally.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: Do you believe that? So whilst you are receiving from
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: God through me, from the pulpit, you are sitting with
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: someone who might carry the grace for favor, the grace
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: for speed, Yeah, it's scriptural. The Bible says, and to
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: comfort others with the same comforts that you have received.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: Someone who has survived by faith. Are we together now?
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: Sitting close to you and sometimes God will orchestrate that
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: event intentionally so that whilst you are receiving from me
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: a grace that has come from that woman's 10 years
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: of intercession, it can rub off on you and you
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: will leave the church receiving beyond that which came from
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: the pulpit. Hallelujah. It's why when you come to church,
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: you don't just honor the man of God alone. You
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: also honor the men of God. The one seated. They
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: may be unassuming. They may not carry any regalia of ministry.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: But trust me, their testimony has brought grace to their lives.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: Is someone learning? Say amen. You must embrace the corporate culture.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: The corporate culture of believers. The key to sustaining kingdom
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: values is to have a community life. That means where
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: you do not have the courage to stand for Jesus
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: because you are alone, in the presence of a company
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: of like-minded friends, like-minded believers, it will now help to
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: plant the confidence in you to stand for Jesus. Is
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: that true? Sometimes, in all honesty, it can be difficult
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: to stand alone. Not impossible, but difficult to stand alone.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: But if there's a prayer friend, someone you can call
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: and say, listen, I need to open up to you.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: I'm going through a crisis. Can you stand with me?
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: Can you stand by me? I'll tell you this. I'm
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: praying for you that before this session is ended, God
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: will plant favor in your heart. Listen, listen, listen before
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: you shout amen. The favor is not just for cars
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: and houses. That that favor will direct you to someone
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: who will become an ally in destiny. Some of you,
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: some of you have not, some of you have not
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: been fortunate with good friends. And I say this sincerely.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: You are nice people, but I mean, just, there is,
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: there seems to be a negative energy that attracts you
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: to troublemakers, bad people. Are we together? You open up
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: to someone and the next thing, it becomes a salmon somewhere.
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: You know, so, I'm praying for such people in the
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus, the son of the living God. May
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: my God give you the gift of good friends. Prayerful friends.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: Loving friends. Those who love you whether it works well
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: or not. Who is saying amen? Those who will cry
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: with you. Those who will pray with you. Those who
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: are not threatened by your success. Those who are not
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: afraid of clapping when the world is clapping for you.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: Those whose kiss is an authentic kiss, not the kiss
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: of Judas. That their kiss will not be a sign
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: to the enemy that you are the one to be destroyed.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: I pray that for you in Jesus' name. Please sit.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: Please sit. Hear me. You are as powerful, you are
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: as fortunate as the men who believe in you. No
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: matter how godly, no matter how anointed, if alone and
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: in isolation you are vulnerable. When God wants to help
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: a man to sustain your kingdom values, he will connect
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: you to a spiritual family like this. You see, there
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: are many of you on hearing the things that you're
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: hearing now, you're wondering, where have I been? That's the
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: power of community. Are we together? The power of community.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: That's the reason why you see church members must be
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: trained to know that they have a role to play
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: in helping people who come to church love Jesus. So
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: it's not just from the pastor. The behavior of the
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: members can, to a large extent, determine whether the people
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: will remain serving Jesus or be discouraged and leave. It's true.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: It's true. Are we together? But I'm just digressing for
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: a moment to pray again for you. Honestly, may God
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: give you the gift of good people. Some of you,
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: almost every trouble in your life, it didn't come by
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: your personal carelessness. You were a victim of foolish people
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: with all due respect, bad people, people who brought all
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: kinds of negative energy to your life. Now, it doesn't
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 1: mean to insult people. You should be friendly to everyone.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about destiny relationships, relationships that matter as far
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: as your remaining, your relevance, your emerging is concerned. Are
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: we together? Compartmentalize your life. Everybody cannot have access to
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: every part of your life. Now, be good to all men.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: Love everyone. Doesn't matter the mixed multitude. But when it
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: has to do with your holy of holies, there are people,
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: you must have like-minded people. That when you say, I'm
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: trusting God for big things, they don't say, ah, can
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: that be done? No, there are people of like mind.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: Are we together? And for someone who is desperately praying
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: for good friends, people who can wake you up and say,
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: you can make it, don't give up. You love Jesus.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: People who can call you to order where you are
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: deviating in love and say, no, this is not you.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: Get back to order. I wake down that sleepers. I
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: pray that you will find such people. And I pray
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: that when they come, you don't drive them with bad behavior. Hallelujah.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: Number four. Number four. The third key that comes as
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: a survival strategy for challenging times is that you should
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: not be alone. Don't be alone. Refuse to be alone.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: You must be able to hold the arm of someone
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: who loves God. Are we together? Two are better than one,
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: the Bible says, because they have a good reward for
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: their labor. And it says a three-fold cord is not
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: easily broken. May you find a prayer partner. May you
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: find a true confidant. May you find a burden bearer.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: May you find someone who loves both your crown and
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: your scars. You will never find people who love only
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: your crown. They will look at your scars and love
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 1: it all the same. In Jesus' name we pray. And
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: for Koinonia US, I tell you this, your strength is
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: in your togetherness. Your strength is in your togetherness. Did
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: you hear that? Your strength is in your togetherness. No
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: matter the richness of your secret place, if in isolation,
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: you are still vulnerable. I can only see what is
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: before me. Except by the aid of visuals, I'm not
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: able to see what is behind me. But you imagine
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: that there are two or three people that are behind me,
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: beside me, it enhances my security. What I cannot see,
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: you can see for me. What you cannot see, I
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: can see for you. Spiritually, financially, etc. There are opportunities
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: that may be beyond my sight, my vision, my scope,
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: but because of someone in the house of God who
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: is loving enough, benevolent enough, you can extend any opportunity
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: for me, for my rising. Again, may you find such people.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: Let me give you number four very quickly. Number one,
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: be strong in the Lord. Number two, walk and live
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: by the principles of the word of God. Live by faith,
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: live by the word of God. Not just speaking it,
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: but living it. Number three, embrace the spiritual family system
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: for your strength, for your comfort. Embrace the community living
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: of believers. And then number four, this is very important.
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: Embrace the preserving power of priestly and prophetic blessings. You
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 1: want to survive the times? You must embrace the preserving
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: power of priestly and prophetic blessings. Embrace the preserving power
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: of priestly and prophetic blessings. Genesis chapter 18, we'll read
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: from verse 17. So the context to 33. This was
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: the angel of the Lord or God as many people purport.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: He comes to Abraham to deliver to him a news
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: that he's going to destroy Sodom. and Gomorrah. Please follow closely.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: And he said, Shall I hide from Abraham the thing
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: which I do? Verse 18. Seeing that Abraham shall surely
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: become a great and a mighty nation, and all the
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: nations of the earth shall be blessed in him. For
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 1: I know him, that he will command his children, and
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: so on and so forth, And now he tells Abraham
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: that I'm going to judge Sodom and Gomorrah because their
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: iniquity has risen before me. And Abraham knowing, listen, that
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: Lot is there with his children, he began to negotiate
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: preservation for Lot. Unknown to Lot, disaster was about to strike.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: Are we together? Sodom and Gomorrah was going to be
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: burned by fire. And Abraham began to speak. And here's
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: what he said. Will thou destroy the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure,
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 1: there are 50 righteous people within the city. Will you
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 1: also destroy or spare? And he said, no, I will
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: not slay the righteous. Then he began from 50, went
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 1: to 40, he went to 20, you know the story,
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: to 10. And that was how angels, it was on
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: account of this conversation, this advocacy, this intercession, that angels
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: were released. Are we together? And they went to the
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: house of Lot, delivering Lot and the children. Unfortunately, the
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: wife turned back. She had a chance to go forward,
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: but she turned back. And the Bible is telling us
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 1: to learn from Lot's wife. It said, if any man
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 1: draws back, my soul will not find pleasure in him.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: Priestly and prophetic blessings. Let me tell you this. When
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: a man of God, anointed by God and sent to you,
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: when he opens his mouth under the influence of the
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: Spirit and proclaims or pronounces a blessing upon you, among
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: the many things that these blessings bring is preservation. Are
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: we together? There is preservation in priestly and prophetic blessings.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: If you believe that, say amen. It's true. It's true.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah chapter 33, 20 and 21. Jeremiah 33, very quickly,
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: 20 and 21. Thus said the Lord, if ye can
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: break my covenant of the day and my covenant of
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: the night, and that there be no day and no
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: night in its season, 21, then may ye also break
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: my covenant with David, you see that, my servant, that
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: he should not have his son to reign, And with
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 1: the Levites and the priests and my ministers. You know
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: what that means? That God entered a covenant with David,
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: with the priests, with the Levites, with the ministers. Are
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 1: we together? Everyone God raises. Watch this. When God calls
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: a man to serve his grace, his wisdom, his power,
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: a unique dimension of his glory to a people, a church,
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: an assembly, a community, and then a generation. There are covenants.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: Not general covenants. There are personal covenants that God has
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: with that man that become the principle, the rule of
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 1: engagement upon which his power flows from that man, through
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: that man, to the people God sent him to. Are
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 1: we together? And among the many terms of that agreement
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: is that when he walks in keeping, he or she
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: walks in keeping with... The principles that God has given
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: that person to guard that grace. They make pronouncements God
• 1:51:55

  Speaker 1: of his messengers. Are we together? He performs the counsel
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: of his messengers. And he confirms the word of his servants.

  Speaker 1: it to us. Isaiah 65 and verse 8. Thus saith
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: the Lord. It says as the new wine is found
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: in the cluster. And one saith destroy it not. For
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: there is a blessing in it. So will I do
• 1:52:44

  Speaker 1: men say there is a casting down, my dear people,

• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus Christ. All those who desire
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: that you stumble and fall, they will be the ones
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: to stumble and fall. they come in one way but
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 1: they are dispersed in seven ways in the name of
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 1: jesus may my god lose the loins of kings for
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: your sake you will suck honey out of the rock
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: you will suck the breast of kings Pharaoh will not

  Speaker 1: sleep till he exalts you Joseph. Nebuchadnezzar will not sleep
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 1: till he exalts you Daniel. In the name of Jesus Christ.

• 1:58:39
  Speaker 1: people will show up to back you up. They will
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 1: show up to stand with you. In the name of Jesus.
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 1: Let me prophesy over someone else. You've toiled all night
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: and you've not caught fish. You've submitted applications everywhere, but
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 1: there's no job. You submitted your papers and it's been
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 1: stuck with the immigration for forever. In the name of
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 1: Jesus and by the spirit of prophecy, I declare welcome
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 1: to your season of manifestation. Welcome to your season where
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 1: every prophetic word spoken to you becomes flesh. It will
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 1: manifest speedily. I say it will manifest speedily. I see
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 1: some of you lifting your documents. I decree and declare
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: by the God of Jeshurun, the one who rides upon
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 1: the wings of the wind, I decree and declare, let
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: there be speedy manifestations. Speedy manifestations. Believers, body of Christ,
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: quarter to shame, may my God step in. For his
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: name's sake, quarter to shame, quarter to embarrassment, quarter to disappointment,
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: may the God of heaven arise as a deliverer. May
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 1: he stand before you as a mighty, terrible one. Hear me.
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 1: I'm praying, make sure you receive. Hear me. Evil men
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: Will not arrive the ears of your helpers before you.
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 1: Did you hear what I said? Evil men. Will not
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 1: arrive the ears of your helpers before you. They will
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 1: not give them a bad idea before you arrive. The
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 1: same way the wheels of Pharaoh's chariot was stuck in
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: the sea until the Red Sea covered them. Anyone hurrying
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: ahead of you to make your helpers hate you. Anyone
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: hurrying ahead of you to make your blessers hate you.
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 1: Their wheels will be stuck until they are buried with
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 1: the sea. In the name of Jesus Christ. I pray
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 1: for you. Every coordinated attack in this season. That Satan
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 1: has seen the radar of your next season. And he
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: sent an arsenal to fight your prayer life. To fight
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: your word life. To fight your testimony. To fight your integrity.
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 1: To someone who's experiencing hell on earth right now. I
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: decree and declare. Fear not. God has redeemed you. He
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: has called you by name. and you belong to him.
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: When you walk through the waters, it will not overwhelm you.
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 1: Through the rivers, it will not overwhelm you. When you
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 1: pass through fire, it will not consume you. I decree
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 1: and declare, let the mantle of a deliverer rest upon
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: you now. Upon you now. Now listen. Koinonia Global, please
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: receive this. The spirit of prophecy is upon me. I
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: want to pray over your finances. And I want you
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 1: to believe it. I am very unapologetic. about the well-being,
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 1: the financial well-being of God's people. I told you during
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 1: the conference that if you are helped by God financially,
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 1: it can preserve your integrity. It can take away distractions
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 1: from your life. I'm not talking of self-aggrandizement. I'm not
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: talking of the marketing of flesh where you seek money
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: just for it. I'm talking of the blessing of the
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 1: Lord becoming a garrison for you and your children. Are
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: we together? Now listen, ladies and gentlemen. It is true
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 1: that wealth answers to productivity. It is true that wealth
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 1: answers to wisdom. It is true that wealth answers to relationships.
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: But there is a dimension of wealth that is prophetic.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: It is true. There is a by this time tomorrow dimension.
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: And you better believe all of that. Honestly, you better
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: believe it. Now sometimes, sometimes in a bid to take
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 1: away wealth, a sense of carelessness from believers, and I
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: understand the intent behind it. We tell people that there's
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 1: nothing like prophesying for you to be blessed. Go and walk.
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 1: I understand what you mean. Under normal circumstances, the law
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 1: of wealth is that it responds to value, to productivity,
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 1: to excellence. Are we together? The church is not a
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: place with dollars. Many of you here are exceptional people,
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: and so I'm not insulting your pedigree. But just to
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 1: let you know that there is another layer of financial possibility.
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 1: Believe me, if God does not help you, then what
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 1: is the advantage of being in Christ? There is a
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 1: system of advantage. There are times that everything you know
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: to do and have to do is in place. And
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 1: yet the realm of the Spirit does not respond favorably.
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: At such times, you need the prophetic word. There are
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: times you can be hard working, but your axe head
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 1: can sink. It's not because of carelessness. It was whilst
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 1: you were using it to cut the tree. But when
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 1: the axe head falls, there is no technical skill to
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: bring it out. It takes prophecy. It is to such
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: I want to speak now. In the name of Jesus,
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 1: in addition to your value, in addition to your productivity,
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 1: I know you have jobs, I know you have investments,
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 1: I know you have businesses. This is New York, the
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 1: financial hub of the United States. But in the name
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ, I come by this prophetic mantle. And
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: I speak to someone. In this season, in addition to
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 1: your giftings, your value, in addition to relationship, your products,
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 1: I decree and declare, experience the prophetic order of the
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 1: blessing of the Lord. Experience the prophetic order of finances.
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 1: Step into supernatural finances. Helped by God. Assisted by heaven.
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 1: Strengthen until you become a mighty man. In the name
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ. He said they got not the land
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 1: in possession by their own sword. Neither did their own
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 1: arm save them. But you, O Lord, your right hand,
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 1: because you showed a favor towards them. I speak to
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 1: those trusting God for properties, for structural establishment. The God
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: who gave Koinonia her property. I pray for you. May
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 1: he show up and establish you. In the name of Jesus.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 1: In America, he will establish you. In Nigeria, he will
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 1: establish you. In the name of Jesus. strangers will feed
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 1: your flock. Those you do not know, they will be
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 1: sent by God to stand with you, to stand for you.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 1: I say it again, they will be sent by God
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 1: to stand with you, to stand for you. One last time,
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 1: they will be sent by God to stand with you.
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, Joseph, although you are gifted
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 1: because you are in prison, may God raise a wine
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 1: presser to speak to Pharaoh on your behalf. May God
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 1: raise wine a wine presser to speak to Pharaoh on
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 1: your behalf in the name of Jesus wave your hands
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 1: and give Jesus praise wave your hands and give him
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 1: praise wave your hands like you are grateful give him.
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 4: Praise give him praise give him praise it's a new
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 4: season for you Give Him praise. Seasons of testimony. Give
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 4: Him praise.
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 1: Laughter. Joy. Rejoicing. Restoration. Breaking out in praise. Lengthening your cord.
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: Comforting her who was without child. Oh, say unto Zion,
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 1: she is comforted. In the name of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah.
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 1: Please put down your hands. Let's keep standing. Let's keep standing.
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 1: This is our final session for now here in the
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 1: United States. And this is to Koinonia Global. Amazing. There
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 1: is always a way out. It's a cliche I've come
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 1: to receive in my own life. There is always a
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 1: way out. Hallelujah. But I give someone an opportunity right now.
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 1: Everyone please stand. The Bible says the name of the Lord,
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 1: that it is a strong tower and a righteous place.
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 1: runs into it and they are saved. The Bible furthermore says,
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 1: there is no other name under heaven given unto men
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 1: by which we must or should be saved. No Jesus,
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 1: no life. It is true. It is not a Christian cliche.
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 1: He's able to give any man, everyone whatsoever, whosoever, a
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 1: new beginning. And all you need to do is, number one,
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 1: to believe that you are insufficient by yourself. The Bible says,
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 1: for by the arm of flesh, you cannot be saved.
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 1: He wants to give you, my brother, my sister, young. old, male, female,
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to make it right with Jesus. And give
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 1: me the honor of doing this as a final function
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 1: in the US before we transit to Canada. This is
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 1: your chance to make Jesus Lord of your life. I'm
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 1: speaking to one bold person who is saying, Apostle, For
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 1: some reason, I miss the sound of revival or I
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: was here but not convicted enough. For your sake, we'll
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 1: take a minute or two to allow you make haste
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 1: and come to the front. I'm going to begin to
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: count one to five. You're saying, I need a renewed
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 1: relationship with Jesus. You can come as a couple. You
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 1: can come as an individual. You can come as siblings.
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 1: By all means, make your way to the front. I
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 1: begin my counting now. God bless you. Thank you. America,
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 1: are you celebrating salvation? Abuja. Zaria. UK, Canada, make your
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 1: way to Jesus. Now listen. The cross before me. Now,
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know how it is in Zaria, but right
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 1: here in the United States, in New York, there's a
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: mighty harvest here. Let's give Jesus praise. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Hallelujah.
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 1: Please lend me your attention, my dear brothers and sisters.
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 1: I am so touched watching this harvest again. You know,
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: someday when Jesus comes, I will be somewhere in heaven
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 1: and I will look left and right and I will
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 1: see you And you, and you, and you, and you.
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 1: Some of you as a couple, I will see both
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 1: of you, and I'll say, I remember this face. I
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 1: remember you waving to Jesus. I remember you smiling. Hallelujah. Amen.
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 1: For God so loved the world that he gave his
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 1: one only begotten son, that whosoever, that includes you, Who
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 1: will believe even right now should not perish. It's a law.
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 1: But to have life everlasting. The Bible says in verse
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 1: 13 John 3. For God did not send his son
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 1: to the world to condemn the world. No man condemns you.
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what you've done. Doesn't matter how your life
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 1: has been before now. Hear what I'm telling you. And
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 1: this is by the spirit. Welcome home. Welcome home. Welcome home. Hallelujah.
• 2:11:22
