Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Allelujah, praise the name of the Lord. Good morning, and everybody,
- 0:07Speaker 1: let me salute and command our diligence and.
- 0:12Speaker 2: A commitment towards spiritual things. One one of the indices
- 0:18Speaker 2: that measure genuine hunger is your passion and your drive,
- 0:22Speaker 2: your ability to inconvenience yourself, says who for the joy
- 0:28Speaker 2: that was set before him, endured the shame, despise, the pain,
- 0:34Speaker 2: and so on and so forth. So I want to
- 0:36Speaker 2: commend everyone who has been able to make this sacrifice
- 0:39Speaker 2: to be here this early the Lord, who do us
- 0:41Speaker 2: good in Jesus' name, Bishop is an honor. Again, thank
- 0:45Speaker 2: you so much. I do not take this likely. Father,
- 0:49Speaker 2: speak to our hearts. Yet again, the Bible says, they
- 0:53Speaker 2: go from strength to strength. As many as appear before
- 0:56Speaker 2: the Lord in Zion. We thank you because your world
- 1:00Speaker 2: will come with power and with grace. For in Jesus'
- 1:05Speaker 2: muchless name we have prayed. Please be seated, God bless you.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Yesterday night we began a discussion from John chapter three.
- 1:20Speaker 2: They encounter that Nicodemus the Pharisee had with Jesus. We
- 1:27Speaker 2: were able to delve into his contemplation and his frustrations
- 1:32Speaker 2: when he saw Jesus manifesting such an invincible life, a
- 1:37Speaker 2: life of victory, invincibility, and power. It got Nicodemos so
- 1:42Speaker 2: concerned he had to come and meet him by night
- 1:45Speaker 2: and to ask what the basis for this kind of
- 1:48Speaker 2: invincible life was. And Jesus traced that discussion and took
- 1:54Speaker 2: it to the issue of birth, and from there we
- 1:58Speaker 2: established the fact that the Bible recognizes two kinds of births.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Number one, we said, is a natural biological birth that
- 2:09Speaker 2: comes by your natural descent through the womb of a woman.
- 2:13Speaker 2: But we said the other, which is considered more superior
- 2:16Speaker 2: as far as your spiritual adventure is concerned, is to
- 2:20Speaker 2: be born again, to be born of the spirit, to
- 2:24Speaker 2: be born of God, allelujah. We looked at a few differences,
- 2:29Speaker 2: and one of the most striking differences, if you recall,
- 2:32Speaker 2: we said that the natural birth does not depend on
- 2:36Speaker 2: your will. You have no power of choice. But then
- 2:40Speaker 2: when it has to do with being born again, being
- 2:43Speaker 2: born of God, being born of the Spirit, you are
- 2:47Speaker 2: the sole determinant as to whether that experience will happen
- 2:52Speaker 2: to you or not. We explored a few other things yesterday,
- 2:56Speaker 2: and we thank God for his spirit. We thank God
- 2:58Speaker 2: for his power. We had a brief discussion with Bishop
- 3:02Speaker 2: after this place, and I was expressing to him, you know,
- 3:09Speaker 2: joyfully so how that this conference has become like a
- 3:14Speaker 2: spiritual retreat for the people within this region, beyond denominations,
- 3:21Speaker 2: beyond prejudices of tribe, clan, race. It's been an avenue
- 3:27Speaker 2: for people to just come and be built, to be established.
- 3:31Speaker 2: And I think we should truly salute His Lordship for
- 3:37Speaker 2: making this kind of apostolic platform available. Alle Luyah. Praised
- 3:46Speaker 2: the name of the Lord. Among the many things that
- 3:49Speaker 2: happen in conferences like this, it's an upgrade of spiritual understanding.
- 3:54Speaker 2: One of the things that most happen to every believer
- 3:58Speaker 2: is that there is there must be a greater sense
- 4:02Speaker 2: of enlightenment, not just the fulfillment of the days of
- 4:06Speaker 2: a program, but we must justify our stay and as
- 4:10Speaker 2: sacrifices by coming up with superior light. Allelujah. The Bible
- 4:15Speaker 2: says that was the true light that lighted every man.
- 4:19Speaker 2: So when it has to do with the ministry of light,
- 4:22Speaker 2: everyone is qualified to partake of it. The light lights
- 4:26Speaker 2: upon every man, Allelujah. This morning, I want to have
- 4:31Speaker 2: a brief session with us, and just continuing from where
- 4:35Speaker 2: we left off yesterday. Allelujah. We read two scriptures and
- 4:41Speaker 2: then I'll begin to teach. Number one is John seventeen
- 4:45Speaker 2: three John seventeen and verse three Jesus is praying now.
- 4:52Speaker 2: The Bible says in verse one that he lifted up
- 4:54Speaker 2: his eyes to heaven, and then he began to pray.
- 4:58Speaker 2: And when he gets to verse three, the street, Just
- 5:02Speaker 2: give us the street, he says. And this is eternal life.
- 5:08Speaker 2: This is eternal life. Jesus by himself describes for us
- 5:15Speaker 2: in this verse the full import the meaning of a
- 5:20Speaker 2: man having and accessing eternal life. He says, this is
- 5:25Speaker 2: eternal life that they may know THEE, the Only True God.
- 5:33Speaker 2: And Jesus Christ, whom thou hast said that in a
- 5:38Speaker 2: man's journey, as far as the administration of internal life
- 5:43Speaker 2: is concerned, if this reality is not captured in your
- 5:47Speaker 2: Christian experience, it will not look in your life as
- 5:50Speaker 2: though you're a recipient of eternal life. This is eternal life.
- 5:55Speaker 2: And now he does not even talk about receiving. He
- 5:58Speaker 2: talks about knowing that they may know THEE, the Only
- 6:02Speaker 2: True God. And Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent away
- 6:08Speaker 2: together Scripture number two Philippians three and verse ten. Philippians
- 6:15Speaker 2: three and Verse ten. This scripture was written by Apostle Paul.
- 6:23Speaker 2: And the interesting thing is that Paul's journey to knowing
- 6:26Speaker 2: God was more dramatic than many of the apostles because
- 6:33Speaker 2: his journey started with an encounter with Jesus. It's not
- 6:38Speaker 2: like he was preached to by someone else and then
- 6:41Speaker 2: eventually he met Jesus. His encounter with Jesus was what
- 6:45Speaker 2: even introduced him to the experience of the life of God.
- 6:51Speaker 2: But in spite of that, here's what he had to
- 6:53Speaker 2: say that I may know him now. If you read
- 7:00Speaker 2: the Bible generally as though you're reading a novel, you
- 7:02Speaker 2: may not really understand the full import You need to
- 7:06Speaker 2: understand the man who is speaking here. At the time
- 7:10Speaker 2: Paul is writing this, he had attended his apostolic ministry commendably.
- 7:16Speaker 2: This was a man who had seen the hand of God.
- 7:20Speaker 2: He was accustomed to vision, supernatural experiences, his single kinds
- 7:25Speaker 2: of manifestation. He was actively in the business of mentoring
- 7:30Speaker 2: all the churches that were under his apostolic rich and
- 7:34Speaker 2: he was doing so with such texterity and excellence. You
- 7:38Speaker 2: would not expect such a man to be praying to
- 7:41Speaker 2: know him. Probably his prayer would have been grace to
- 7:45Speaker 2: finish strong. That's the kind of prayer you think such
- 7:48Speaker 2: a man would have. And here he honor shamedly makes
- 7:52Speaker 2: a prayer request known. There are times that he would say, brethren,
- 7:56Speaker 2: pray for us and leave you to choose whatever you
- 7:59Speaker 2: want to pry for him about. But here is a
- 8:02Speaker 2: great apostle of the Lord. Jesus Christ put into the
- 8:05Speaker 2: table a prayer request that represented his highest desire that
- 8:10Speaker 2: I may know him and the power of his resurrection,
- 8:15Speaker 2: he said, and the fellowship of his sufferings being made
- 8:19Speaker 2: conformable onto his death. Allelujah. So eternal life, like we
- 8:30Speaker 2: know and we began to discuss yesterday through the new
- 8:33Speaker 2: birth experience, starts with receiving, but it is beyond the
- 8:39Speaker 2: realm of receiving. Please listen that the journey to eternal
- 8:44Speaker 2: life starts by receiving through the spirit the life of God.
- 8:51Speaker 2: At the point where an individual acknowledges Jesus as Savior,
- 8:55Speaker 2: as Lord and Christ. Based on the authority of Scripture,
- 8:59Speaker 2: we know that you are declared righteous and upon that ground,
- 9:03Speaker 2: you are qualified to access the Spirit of God into
- 9:07Speaker 2: your spirit and all that happens through and by the
- 9:10Speaker 2: ministry of the Holy Spirit. This is what the Bible
- 9:13Speaker 2: teaches us. But that eternal life is an experience, But
- 9:18Speaker 2: eternal life is also a journey allelujah. The experience of
- 9:24Speaker 2: eternal life is that there is an instant translation from
- 9:29Speaker 2: the kingdom of darkness. The Bible teaches into the kingdom
- 9:33Speaker 2: of His dear son, that the moment is sinner, no
- 9:37Speaker 2: matter how dark, no matter how alienated from God. At
- 9:41Speaker 2: the point where you come and acknowledge the lordship of
- 9:44Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, believe in his substitutionary sacrifice, meaning his death
- 9:50Speaker 2: is burial, his resurrection his ascension, and to believe that report.
- 9:55Speaker 2: The Bible says, no matter how you feel, that eternal
- 10:00Speaker 2: life is imparted, imputed into your spirit, you are declared
- 10:03Speaker 2: the righteousness of God in Christ. You become joined to
- 10:07Speaker 2: the Spirit of God. Do we believe that? But then
- 10:10Speaker 2: that the experience of eternal life does not end there,
- 10:15Speaker 2: that there is a progressive journey away together that brings
- 10:19Speaker 2: you into the manifestation. This is the aspect that many
- 10:25Speaker 2: believers do not know about eternal life. So we're not
- 10:28Speaker 2: in doubt as to the fact that you have placed
- 10:31Speaker 2: your faith in the Son of the Living God. It
- 10:34Speaker 2: is a fact, according to the authority of Scripture, that
- 10:37Speaker 2: whosoever believes in him shall be saved away together. Now,
- 10:43Speaker 2: so we claim to be recipients of this life, and
- 10:47Speaker 2: based on the authority of scripture, we know that is true.
- 10:50Speaker 2: But manifesting the potentials of this eternal life has been
- 10:56Speaker 2: far from many believers. And here Us and Paul are
- 11:01Speaker 2: giving us another angle to the manifestation of eternal life.
- 11:07Speaker 2: The invincibility, the potency, the power that is encapsulated in
- 11:14Speaker 2: that life is only released and manifested at the point
- 11:19Speaker 2: of knowledge. This is eternal life. He says that they
- 11:26Speaker 2: may know thee even if they have received from you,
- 11:30Speaker 2: it is not enough that they may know the the
- 11:32Speaker 2: only true God and Jesus home thou hast sent. Are
- 11:38Speaker 2: we together now? Both of us say, for instance, can
- 11:43Speaker 2: be given a phone. Imagine with me that there are
- 11:45Speaker 2: two people standing, one by my left, the other by
- 11:48Speaker 2: my right, and all of them are given the gift
- 11:51Speaker 2: of a brand new phone, say an iPhone. Are we
- 11:54Speaker 2: together now? It is the same phone that was given
- 11:58Speaker 2: to both of them to get, and you were witnesses
- 12:01Speaker 2: at the point where they were given. This one received
- 12:04Speaker 2: and said thank you, sir. This one received and said
- 12:07Speaker 2: thank you sir. Fast forward a few weeks, you will
- 12:11Speaker 2: find out that one person's life becomes efficient and excellent
- 12:16Speaker 2: through the use of the same phone. Am I right?
- 12:18Speaker 2: And the other one would barely have improved as far
- 12:21Speaker 2: as the quality of his life is concerned. Now, it
- 12:24Speaker 2: is a fact that both of them are recipients of
- 12:28Speaker 2: the phone. But to be able to maximize that phone
- 12:32Speaker 2: such that it translates to efficiency no longer depends on
- 12:35Speaker 2: receiving receiving has happened. It is their knowledge of the
- 12:40Speaker 2: entire dynamics of the phone. For one person, that can
- 12:43Speaker 2: be the reason why he becomes wealthy. For one person
- 12:46Speaker 2: that can be the reason why he increases his network
- 12:49Speaker 2: and contact. For another person, that phone will remain emboden
- 12:53Speaker 2: in his hand for many months. So if you say
- 12:57Speaker 2: all those who have iPhones stand up, both of them
- 12:59Speaker 2: will stand up, But all who have been blessed and
- 13:02Speaker 2: changed by ephone one will have to sit down. Somebody
- 13:06Speaker 2: following me now, So I'm saying that the experience listen carefully.
- 13:11Speaker 2: If you understand what I'm teaching you, it to revolutionize
- 13:15Speaker 2: your Christian experience. Because when you see two believers manifesting
- 13:20Speaker 2: for one and exceptional life, a life of victory, grace, power, wisdom,
- 13:26Speaker 2: and all the multifaceted dimensions of the kingdom, it is
- 13:30Speaker 2: not that and not that kind of eternal life was
- 13:32Speaker 2: given to one against the other. The Bible declares, and
- 13:36Speaker 2: we know from the authority of scripture that the same
- 13:39Speaker 2: Lord is rich onto all. It was the same blood
- 13:42Speaker 2: of Jesus that purchased us. The same redemption happened to
- 13:45Speaker 2: us away together. The same quality of life was given
- 13:49Speaker 2: to us. But for most people, our journey into exploring
- 13:53Speaker 2: eternal life stops at the initial reception by faith, and
- 13:58Speaker 2: we do not explore the power that comes through knowledge.
- 14:05Speaker 2: The manifestation of eternal life experientially happens at the instance
- 14:12Speaker 2: of knowledge. Please say knowledge. Everyone says knowledge. Again, do
- 14:18Speaker 2: not forget the example of the phones. I'm using a
- 14:22Speaker 2: very simple example because I want us to understand. So,
- 14:25Speaker 2: the greatest man of God you know on earth and
- 14:30Speaker 2: the most ineffective believer on earth, even in Jalingo, are
- 14:35Speaker 2: both recipients of the same life. It is by the
- 14:38Speaker 2: same spirit, but the quality of their Christian experience. That
- 14:43Speaker 2: disparity is not because God decided to isolate another person
- 14:48Speaker 2: and give him another kind of life. They are all
- 14:51Speaker 2: potentials that come from one and the same life. Allelujah.
- 15:00Speaker 2: The wealthiest man, the most blessed man on earth, is
- 15:04Speaker 2: made of the same organs as the poorest, the most
- 15:07Speaker 2: ineffective man. As far as their biological composition is concerned,
- 15:12Speaker 2: are we together? The difference between two of them is
- 15:14Speaker 2: not the biological composition. No, we are greed yesterday that
- 15:19Speaker 2: the difference between precedents of nations and those who live
- 15:24Speaker 2: medio card defeated lives. It's not that one has two hearts,
- 15:28Speaker 2: or two heads or two brains. Know, as far as
- 15:31Speaker 2: the biological construct is concerned, if you dissect the most
- 15:35Speaker 2: successful person from an standpoint of anatomy, and you dissect
- 15:40Speaker 2: someone who is almost dying somewhere on the road, you
- 15:43Speaker 2: will find the exact biological constructing them. What then, is
- 15:48Speaker 2: the difference? It is that one has moved beyond just
- 15:51Speaker 2: receiving to accessing a certain kind of knowledge. Allelujah. So
- 15:57Speaker 2: Jesus says, this is eternal life. That they may know thee.
- 16:03Speaker 2: In other words, I am able to manifest these supernatural possibilities,
- 16:08Speaker 2: not just because I came from heaven, but because I
- 16:11Speaker 2: paid the price to know you. You see, Jesus spoke
- 16:13Speaker 2: about the Father, and he spoke about his wareness with
- 16:17Speaker 2: the Father in a way that disturbed the theology of
- 16:20Speaker 2: the Scribes and the Pharisees. How do you dare claim
- 16:23Speaker 2: that you know God, this invisible God, who had become
- 16:26Speaker 2: a mystery to us, will only depend on what the
- 16:29Speaker 2: prophets told us he is. Now you come and you
- 16:32Speaker 2: try to bring a level of relationship that is very disturbing.
- 16:37Speaker 2: At what point did you know him? No man had
- 16:39Speaker 2: seen the Father every time you all said that, And
- 16:42Speaker 2: now you are bringing him so near. You are bringing
- 16:45Speaker 2: him so near and saying we can even know him,
- 16:48Speaker 2: that that mysterious God can be known. As mysterious as
- 16:54Speaker 2: God is, he desires to be known. And Jesus says,
- 16:58Speaker 2: this is eternal life. Whoever passes beyond the gate of
- 17:02Speaker 2: just receiving to exploring the knowledge of number one, the
- 17:07Speaker 2: one True God, and then number two Jesus, whom he
- 17:10Speaker 2: has sent, that there are two rewards that are left
- 17:14Speaker 2: with such a person. Dan nearly eleven thirty two b says,
- 17:18Speaker 2: whoever chooses to explore this spiritual pathway will be left
- 17:23Speaker 2: with two rewards. Number one, capacity they shall be strong.
- 17:28Speaker 2: Number two, they shall do exploits. Exploits is not just
- 17:35Speaker 2: for Christians. The potential for exploits is for Christians, but
- 17:40Speaker 2: the experience of exploits is for the people that do
- 17:45Speaker 2: know their God, not just the people who have received
- 17:49Speaker 2: from their God. You can receive from Me and yet
- 17:53Speaker 2: not know me. Receiving is a product of your ability
- 17:56Speaker 2: to stretch forth your hand and the partnership of your
- 18:00Speaker 2: hand being stretched, and then my benevolence I can give
- 18:04Speaker 2: to you without desiring a relationship. Many of you here
- 18:07Speaker 2: have helped people orphanagies and individuals. You do not know
- 18:11Speaker 2: their name. They do not know your name. They do
- 18:13Speaker 2: not hear. The only connecting point in terms of a
- 18:16Speaker 2: conversation is thank you. They just say, thank you, go away,
- 18:20Speaker 2: are we together now? And many people have shipped in
- 18:23Speaker 2: that kind of mentality when they come into the faith life.
- 18:26Speaker 2: They do not want to know God. All they want
- 18:29Speaker 2: is to receive God. I hear that somewhere within your
- 18:32Speaker 2: economy there is a possibility for accessing wisdom. Can you
- 18:35Speaker 2: give it to me now? I think there is need
- 18:37Speaker 2: for it now. And because the same Lord is rich,
- 18:40Speaker 2: you will give benevolently, but greater than receiving things that
- 18:44Speaker 2: there is an advantage that comes to the believer when
- 18:48Speaker 2: you explore the knowledge of God beyond the knowledge of
- 18:52Speaker 2: things that they may know thee away together. Now, yes,
- 19:00Speaker 2: you can see two believers manifesting supernatural possibilities, and their
- 19:05Speaker 2: possibilities are not just predicated. Listen, I want to make
- 19:09Speaker 2: a statement, and I hope you understand what I'm saying.
- 19:12Speaker 2: Do you know it is possible to even be anointing
- 19:16Speaker 2: conscious and it can turn to become idolatry in your
- 19:19Speaker 2: life because annointing itself is just a factor that emanates
- 19:24Speaker 2: from the presence of God. Are we together now? Yes,
- 19:27Speaker 2: it is possible to desire and anointing as an idol
- 19:31Speaker 2: worshiper seeking something from a deity and not from the
- 19:34Speaker 2: standpoint of an individual that desires a functional relationship. So
- 19:41Speaker 2: most believers from a distance, they study those they perceive
- 19:45Speaker 2: to be close to God and write out the various
- 19:49Speaker 2: spiritual virtues and qualities they see us work in their
- 19:51Speaker 2: life and then in isolation to a desire to know God,
- 19:57Speaker 2: they just begin to handpick these qualities and it forms
- 20:00Speaker 2: the basis of your prayer life. I don't care about you,
- 20:03Speaker 2: Oh God, but somehow I found out that the power
- 20:06Speaker 2: to heal the secret sides from you without my knowing you.
- 20:10Speaker 2: I don't care the I save me the bodying of
- 20:13Speaker 2: knowing you. Just transfer power directly to my life, and
- 20:16Speaker 2: I am satisfied. Save me the burden of knowing you.
- 20:19Speaker 2: I just want to prosper. And I hear that in
- 20:21Speaker 2: your name a man can prosper. There are demons. I
- 20:25Speaker 2: hear that there are yokes of darkness that plague me.
- 20:28Speaker 2: And I have learned from scripture that the name of
- 20:30Speaker 2: the Lord is a strong power. I don't need a
- 20:32Speaker 2: relationship with you. Just find a way of becoming a
- 20:35Speaker 2: system of defense. You see, because you have chosen to
- 20:39Speaker 2: explore that pathway, you will see that your growth and
- 20:43Speaker 2: your stature will be lopsided. So if we watch you,
- 20:46Speaker 2: we can see the deficiency of a relationship. It affects
- 20:50Speaker 2: your confidence. There are many things you will be unshore of.
- 20:54Speaker 2: You will make statements that you will go back and
- 20:56Speaker 2: wonder if you are right or wrong because you are
- 20:59Speaker 2: speaking about it stranger, allelujah. If Bishop speaks about his
- 21:06Speaker 2: dear wife, or the wife speaks about Bishop, there is
- 21:09Speaker 2: a kind of confidence that they speak from away together.
- 21:13Speaker 2: Their confidence can almost be mistaken as pride because of
- 21:17Speaker 2: their longevity of state as a couple, they have explored
- 21:21Speaker 2: one another with such precision and detail that they can speak.
- 21:26Speaker 2: If I want to give Bishop a gift and I
- 21:29Speaker 2: don't have access to him, I can ask his wife
- 21:32Speaker 2: with confidence and be sure he will be happy about
- 21:35Speaker 2: what is receiving. That is the power of relationships. That
- 21:39Speaker 2: there are men who can explore God and know God,
- 21:43Speaker 2: that they literally become the manifestation of Him here upon
- 21:47Speaker 2: the earth. When they speak is as though He's spoken.
- 21:51Speaker 2: When they stretch their hands, it's as though He stretched
- 21:53Speaker 2: his hand. They have become It is, It is there.
- 21:57Speaker 2: It is a level and a depth of relationship. And
- 22:00Speaker 2: He has covenanted, on account of that knowledge, to back them,
- 22:06Speaker 2: to bless them. You see, most people who are recipients
- 22:09Speaker 2: of tremendous power today. Power was not the basis of
- 22:14Speaker 2: their exploring God. It was a sincere desire to know God,
- 22:18Speaker 2: and they found out that the economy of God is
- 22:21Speaker 2: so designed that as you explore Him, there are many
- 22:24Speaker 2: things you will find following you while you seek him,
- 22:27Speaker 2: power being one of them. Are we learning this morning,
- 22:32Speaker 2: So let's talk for a few minutes as we prepared
- 22:35Speaker 2: to prayer. Intend to be very brief, very very brief.
- 22:38Speaker 2: This morning is really a charge. What I'm giving us
- 22:41Speaker 2: this morning. I wrote here that the experience of eternal
- 22:46Speaker 2: life for the believer depends on our knowing God. The experience,
- 22:52Speaker 2: the manifestation of eternal life in and through the life
- 22:57Speaker 2: of the believer does not just depend on receiving it
- 23:00Speaker 2: the fact of receiving it. It depends on knowing God.
- 23:05Speaker 2: Please listen, you want to work in grace and power.
- 23:10Speaker 2: You want to live the victorious life in experience, like
- 23:13Speaker 2: the Bible says, it will have to be on the
- 23:21Speaker 2: basis of moving past the awareness that I received it
- 23:26Speaker 2: to exploring a functional knowledge. And for the sake of
- 23:30Speaker 2: our discussion this morning, there are three dimensions to knowing God.
- 23:36Speaker 2: This is really where I want because there are many
- 23:40Speaker 2: believers who want to know God. But like a compass,
- 23:44Speaker 2: my assignment this morning is to be able to provide
- 23:47Speaker 2: a scriptural template to exploring and knowing God. When an
- 23:52Speaker 2: individual wants to know God, When an individual wants to
- 23:55Speaker 2: seek God, what about God should he seek? What should
- 23:59Speaker 2: be the beginning? How should you explore that first realm
- 24:04Speaker 2: of knowing God? We're talking about God here, who is
- 24:07Speaker 2: limitless in his person, in his operation. Are we together
- 24:11Speaker 2: that even in heaven they are still learning him, and
- 24:15Speaker 2: through the span of eternity will still be growing in
- 24:17Speaker 2: the knowledge of God. And so I decided to break
- 24:21Speaker 2: exploring the knowledge of God into three dimensions number one
- 24:25Speaker 2: very quickly. The first dimension to knowing God is knowing
- 24:30Speaker 2: his character. Please write it down. The first dimension to
- 24:35Speaker 2: knowing God. For any believer who wants to see the
- 24:38Speaker 2: reality of the life of God made manifest in experience,
- 24:42Speaker 2: you will have to explore the knowledge of his character.
- 24:47Speaker 2: Please say character one more time, say character. A man's
- 24:52Speaker 2: character makes up the frame of his person. Are we together? Yes,
- 24:57Speaker 2: you know me explicitly when you take out time to
- 25:01Speaker 2: study my character, to study my person. A few scriptures
- 25:06Speaker 2: please in Exodus chapter thirty three, reading from eighteen and nineteen,
- 25:11Speaker 2: Thank you media for helping us with these scriptures. Exodus
- 25:14Speaker 2: thirty three, eighteen and nineteen. Moses made a very very
- 25:21Speaker 2: audacious request. So he's encountering the God of the Hebrews,
- 25:28Speaker 2: the God of the Bible. And Moses did not say,
- 25:31Speaker 2: give me. Moses said, I beseech you, if I found
- 25:36Speaker 2: grace and messing your side, show me your glory. And
- 25:40Speaker 2: then the Lord replies in verse nineteen and he said,
- 25:44Speaker 2: I will make all my goodness. I will make all
- 25:49Speaker 2: my goodness to pass before THEE, and I will proclaim
- 25:54Speaker 2: the name of the Lord before THEE, and will be
- 25:56Speaker 2: gracious to whom I will be gracious, And I will
- 25:59Speaker 2: show mess Say to whom I will show messy. Here
- 26:02Speaker 2: is Moses asking for his glory. In other words, Lord,
- 26:06Speaker 2: I want to know the various virtues that make God God.
- 26:11Speaker 2: What is God composed of? And he's saying, you are
- 26:14Speaker 2: asking for a description of my character. I will cause
- 26:18Speaker 2: an aspect of my glory called my goodness to pass
- 26:22Speaker 2: over you that just knowing my goodness alone, it was
- 26:26Speaker 2: the knowledge of the goodness of God that resulted to
- 26:29Speaker 2: the Five books today that we call just an aspect
- 26:32Speaker 2: of the character of God that a man saw resulted
- 26:36Speaker 2: to a tremendous revelation that he documented five books that
- 26:42Speaker 2: came from the knowledge of the goodness of God. The
- 26:46Speaker 2: psalmist encounter the messy of God. That was one of
- 26:50Speaker 2: the richest dimensions of his encounter about God, and just
- 26:55Speaker 2: that dimension of God, it brought about a chronicle of
- 26:59Speaker 2: men any Psalms just one aspect of the glory of God,
- 27:04Speaker 2: called his messy. The nation of Israel saw both the
- 27:08Speaker 2: goodness and the messy of God, and just by exploring
- 27:12Speaker 2: these two dimensions, they became a small but invincible nation
- 27:17Speaker 2: that every time their armies encompass them and defeat was imminent,
- 27:21Speaker 2: they dropped their weapons of war and invoked his character,
- 27:25Speaker 2: You are good, and your messies and your forever. And
- 27:29Speaker 2: at that consciousness, battles were turned around overnight without them
- 27:33Speaker 2: having to use the sword. When a man wants to
- 27:36Speaker 2: know God, you have to explore his character. For every
- 27:40Speaker 2: dimension of God's character, you know, there is a corresponding
- 27:44Speaker 2: statue the character of God. They're like ladders for every
- 27:49Speaker 2: manifestation of his character that is reveewed to you, it
- 27:53Speaker 2: strengthens you and gives you stature. There are certain fears
- 27:57Speaker 2: that will die because of certain things you know about God.
- 28:01Speaker 2: Are we still together one more scripture, callibracle theater Psalms
- 28:10Speaker 2: one forty five, Please eight and nine, Psalms one forty five.
- 28:18Speaker 2: Our confidence in this kingdom is because of something we
- 28:21Speaker 2: know about God. Here's what the psalm says. The Lord
- 28:25Speaker 2: is gracious, everybody say gracious. It says the Lord is
- 28:29Speaker 2: full of compassion, say compassion. The Lord is slow to
- 28:34Speaker 2: anger and of great mercy. How did he know this?
- 28:38Speaker 2: This is a man documenting his conclusion that haven't explored
- 28:43Speaker 2: the character of God. This was his conclusion that this
- 28:46Speaker 2: is what I found out about God. Number one, that
- 28:49Speaker 2: he is gracious. Number two, that when it has to
- 28:52Speaker 2: do with compassion, he operates in the abundance of it.
- 28:57Speaker 2: And then number three that as angry as the profit
- 29:00Speaker 2: proposed God to be. In my work with God, I
- 29:03Speaker 2: have discovered that he is slow to anger. That means
- 29:06Speaker 2: it's not within his character to just want to destroy,
- 29:09Speaker 2: that men, through the hardliness of their heart, push him
- 29:12Speaker 2: and compel him to have to destroy, But that in
- 29:15Speaker 2: his character he is full of compassion and he is
- 29:19Speaker 2: slow to anger. That when you see God arise to
- 29:22Speaker 2: act is the rebellion of men and their consistency of
- 29:27Speaker 2: their violating him but in the economy of God, he
- 29:30Speaker 2: will always give men a chance to experience his compassion.
- 29:35Speaker 2: Are well together. There are certain fears that die when
- 29:39Speaker 2: you know God. There are certain negative prophecies you don't
- 29:43Speaker 2: need to pray about when you know the character of God.
- 29:46Speaker 2: Listen to me. The threat that comes to your Christian
- 29:49Speaker 2: experience is a report card. He tells us. The manifests
- 29:53Speaker 2: of God. You do not know, and the devil manipulates
- 29:57Speaker 2: your ignorance and literally builds a whim around your ignorance.
- 30:03Speaker 2: The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and
- 30:10Speaker 2: rich in love. One of the most classic and the
- 30:14Speaker 2: most detailed from a theological standpoint, one of the most
- 30:19Speaker 2: detailed representation of the character of God was done by
- 30:24Speaker 2: the Samist himself. You see, that man is a very
- 30:26Speaker 2: serious man, that David man. You see there is a
- 30:29Speaker 2: reason why he's called a man after God's heart, not
- 30:33Speaker 2: just a man that saw the power of God. He
- 30:35Speaker 2: truly sought. He says, Oh Lord, you are my God.
- 30:38Speaker 2: This is not in your bible. He says, only will
- 30:41Speaker 2: lie seek you. My soul longs for you to see
- 30:45Speaker 2: your power and your glory, even as I have seen
- 30:48Speaker 2: in the sanctuary as a result of his Expreme God
- 30:53Speaker 2: look at his findings. Can we read this a little
- 30:57Speaker 2: Psalms one O three. It is one of the most
- 31:00Speaker 2: concise description of the character of God from a theological standpoint.
- 31:07Speaker 2: Every time you want to study the character of God
- 31:11Speaker 2: in as detailed a fashion as you desire, go to
- 31:17Speaker 2: Psalms one hundred and three. Please joiny with me, and
- 31:20Speaker 2: let's just read it very quickly. Are you ready? Bless
- 31:24Speaker 2: the Lord, oh my soul and all that is within me,
- 31:29Speaker 2: Bless his holy name. Let's hurry your Verse two. Bless
- 31:32Speaker 2: the Lord all my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
- 31:37Speaker 2: who forgive thy iniquities, who he led thy diseases. There
- 31:42Speaker 2: are five benefits. That's number two, number three, who redeemed
- 31:46Speaker 2: thy life from destruction. Number four, who crowned thee with
- 31:51Speaker 2: loving kindness and tender mercies. The last of the benefits,
- 31:55Speaker 2: who satisfied thy mouth with good things, so that thy
- 31:59Speaker 2: you is renewed like the egos. Now let's continue verse six.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Verse six. Now the Lord executed righteousness and judgment for
- 32:10Speaker 2: all that are oppressed. He's describing God. He made known
- 32:14Speaker 2: his ways onto Moses were coming there and his acts
- 32:18Speaker 2: to the children of Israel. Verse eight. Now the Bible
- 32:21Speaker 2: says the Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger,
- 32:27Speaker 2: and plenteous in mercy. Verse nine. He will not always child,
- 32:33Speaker 2: neither will he keep his anger forever. This is good news.
- 32:36Speaker 2: While we are working with God. He had not dealt
- 32:41Speaker 2: with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to
- 32:45Speaker 2: our iniquity verse eleven. Okay, For the heaven is high,
- 32:50Speaker 2: as the heaven is higher above the earth, so great
- 32:52Speaker 2: is his messy towards them that fear him verse twelve.
- 32:57Speaker 2: As far as the east is from the west, so
- 33:00Speaker 2: far had he removed our transgression from the patient Ver's
- 33:04Speaker 2: that team like a father pitied his children. Look at
- 33:08Speaker 2: the artist try and creativity that was deployed in describing God.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Now he switches dimension from being a George to being
- 33:16Speaker 2: a father, like the way the father has pity upon
- 33:19Speaker 2: his children. So the Lord pitier them that hear him. Fourteen.
- 33:24Speaker 2: For he knowed our frame, I like the psamis. This
- 33:29Speaker 2: is why he deals with us so kindly. He knows
- 33:32Speaker 2: our frame. He remembered that we are dust. For as
- 33:37Speaker 2: for man, his days are like grass, as the flower
- 33:41Speaker 2: of the field. So I do not know who God is,
- 33:44Speaker 2: and you begin to reach some one tree like an
- 33:47Speaker 2: artist using a canvas. He uses words to begin to
- 33:50Speaker 2: paint the picture of God. That at the end of
- 33:53Speaker 2: reading some one o three you should have an idea
- 33:57Speaker 2: like if I say orange your mind has your mind
- 34:00Speaker 2: is not too much. Usually you will see him smiling
- 34:02Speaker 2: all the time when you see that man. So the
- 34:04Speaker 2: stranger is looking through the lens of the description of
- 34:08Speaker 2: the character. Then he spots a man who fits the
- 34:12Speaker 2: description you just gave, and he comes to say, sorry,
- 34:15Speaker 2: are you James. He said yes, He say, finally I
- 34:17Speaker 2: found you. I was sent to look for you. But
- 34:20Speaker 2: the description that was given to me was that most
- 34:23Speaker 2: likely he will shake you. Most likely he will smile.
- 34:26Speaker 2: He usually likes to wear a long regalia. He's describing
- 34:30Speaker 2: the man based on the character, so that when you
- 34:33Speaker 2: see the man who is not him, even if he
- 34:35Speaker 2: talks like him, you will know it's not him because
- 34:37Speaker 2: you will fet from the lens of his character. Satan
- 34:40Speaker 2: can appear as an angel of light, but he cannot
- 34:43Speaker 2: carry the character of the angel of light. Alee Lujah.
- 34:48Speaker 2: Satan can talk like a preacher. Satan can act like God.
- 34:53Speaker 2: He can come to you in dreams looking like God.
- 34:56Speaker 2: But you feel tire your revelations from the lens of
- 34:59Speaker 2: God's character. This is eternal life that they may know
- 35:09Speaker 2: you are we learning already? So we know God as
- 35:15Speaker 2: we explore his character. I promise it's a charge this morning.
- 35:19Speaker 2: So let's quickly go to number two. The second dimension
- 35:24Speaker 2: to knowing God, as revealed in scripture is to know
- 35:30Speaker 2: his ways, to know his ways Salm one hundred and three,
- 35:35Speaker 2: where we just read verse seven, it says he made
- 35:40Speaker 2: known his ways to Moses and his acts to the
- 35:45Speaker 2: children of God. So the second layer to knowing God
- 35:49Speaker 2: when you explore his character is to know his ways. Allelujah.
- 35:56Speaker 2: The ways of God are a compendium of his modus operandi.
- 36:01Speaker 2: His methodology is how he behaves, how he acts. Matthew,
- 36:07Speaker 2: Chapter twenty two, verse twenty nine. Let's see what the
- 36:10Speaker 2: Bible says twenty two, twenty nine, Matthew, allelujah. Let's read
- 36:16Speaker 2: it together, Ready one to read everyone. Jesus answered and said,
- 36:22Speaker 2: unto them, y do air, not knowing the scripture nor
- 36:28Speaker 2: the power of God. The word air there means default, mistake, deviate, decline,
- 36:35Speaker 2: from the reference Are we Together? Now that your inaccuracy
- 36:39Speaker 2: spiritual is because you do not know the scripture, not
- 36:43Speaker 2: just because you do not have it. You do not
- 36:45Speaker 2: know the scripture when you read down, he says, the
- 36:48Speaker 2: Scripture testifies of me. That means the study of the
- 36:53Speaker 2: Scripture should should move beyond being a story to become
- 36:57Speaker 2: a roadmap. Everything in the Scripture is as leading to Christ,
- 37:01Speaker 2: a dimension of Him. Are We Together? So it can
- 37:05Speaker 2: start from a story, it can start from a parable,
- 37:09Speaker 2: it can start from a prophecy, but eventually it should
- 37:12Speaker 2: be a description of the ways of God. Listen, let
- 37:16Speaker 2: me tell you this, and I want to make a
- 37:18Speaker 2: very polite but firm statement. One of the major troubles
- 37:24Speaker 2: that is plaguing the church, not only Nigeria but in
- 37:27Speaker 2: Africa is that even among people who are sincere, many
- 37:33Speaker 2: of our principles and practices are in many ways extra biblical.
- 37:39Speaker 2: They are a deviation from the recommended patterns. Are We Together?
- 37:44Speaker 2: And the reason is because most people may know the
- 37:48Speaker 2: character of God, but they have not taken time to
- 37:52Speaker 2: learn His ways before enough that gives you the approval
- 37:56Speaker 2: to either run a bakery Are We Together? Or run
- 38:00Speaker 2: pharmaceutical company. Even if you tell them you are a pharmacy,
- 38:04Speaker 2: you will have to detail and outline the procedure that
- 38:08Speaker 2: you're going to follow a way together. There is what
- 38:11Speaker 2: is called best practices, am I right on, that that
- 38:14Speaker 2: there is a recommended standard for everything. There are institutions
- 38:18Speaker 2: of pharmaceutical institutions medical institutions. When they look at someone
- 38:23Speaker 2: to call the person author rives or to call the
- 38:27Speaker 2: person professional, you do not just vet his intention. You
- 38:31Speaker 2: must vet the proceduo, am i right on. You want
- 38:34Speaker 2: to perform surgery on someone, before the medical council allows you,
- 38:39Speaker 2: they have to vet whether you understand the procedure. So
- 38:44Speaker 2: if a patient is hurt and the doctor is being probed,
- 38:48Speaker 2: the first thing they will probe is to verify whether
- 38:51Speaker 2: you are a doctor. Indeed, if they find that, they
- 38:54Speaker 2: will have to look into the procedure that you followed.
- 38:57Speaker 2: If you followed every procedure or right, but everything fail,
- 39:01Speaker 2: you have vindicated because as far as you're practicing right,
- 39:05Speaker 2: you got it right away together. So one of the
- 39:08Speaker 2: challenges with most believers is they do not know how
- 39:12Speaker 2: to produce results God's way. They know how results happen.
- 39:18Speaker 2: Sometimes any way but God's way, his authorized system. How
- 39:24Speaker 2: does God prosper in the kingdom? How does God lift
- 39:28Speaker 2: men in the kingdom? How does God annoying in the kingdom?
- 39:32Speaker 2: How does God give influence in the kingdom? How does
- 39:36Speaker 2: God restore in the kingdom? How does God administer messy
- 39:41Speaker 2: in the kingdom. We need to know the ways of God.
- 39:45Speaker 2: Knowing the ways of God is the key to running
- 39:48Speaker 2: away from error, because in an atmosphere of desperation, any
- 39:52Speaker 2: formula will be what you're embracing. You need to know
- 39:56Speaker 2: how God acts so that you know that this is
- 40:00Speaker 2: deviating from the ways of God. It is easy to
- 40:03Speaker 2: work in the will of God when you understand His ways. Allelujah.
- 40:14Speaker 2: Just because it produced results does not mean it has
- 40:18Speaker 2: secured God's approval. It must be by his way, because
- 40:22Speaker 2: you see, Janus and Jambers can throw your road through
- 40:25Speaker 2: another formula and it can become a serpent. And Moses
- 40:29Speaker 2: can also throw his road. So the issue is not
- 40:32Speaker 2: just the serpent. The issue is whose way did you
- 40:34Speaker 2: follow to arrive at that result. Don't just tell me
- 40:37Speaker 2: you are anointed. We have to fit the formula. Show
- 40:41Speaker 2: me the pathway to your growth and experience and I
- 40:44Speaker 2: can tell you whether you are in deviation or you
- 40:47Speaker 2: are in alignment. Allelujah, are we learning? Yes, a person
- 40:58Speaker 2: I want to rise. I want to be known by
- 41:00Speaker 2: everybody in my generation. Let me see the blueprint you
- 41:04Speaker 2: are following, and I will tell you whether the end
- 41:06Speaker 2: of your journey will be disaster. Without prophesying, the Ways
- 41:10Speaker 2: of God is an accurate compass. It tells you the
- 41:13Speaker 2: end from the beginning. I can tell you that the
- 41:16Speaker 2: path where you are following there is sorrow being programmed there,
- 41:19Speaker 2: not by prophecying negatively. All I need to do is
- 41:23Speaker 2: to see the road you are following. If the Bible
- 41:25Speaker 2: not say that there is a way that seemeth right
- 41:30Speaker 2: onto a man, it says, but the end thereof there
- 41:36Speaker 2: is a way of doing ministry that seemeth right. There
- 41:39Speaker 2: is a way of doing business that seemeth right. There
- 41:42Speaker 2: is a way of parenting that semeth right. There is
- 41:45Speaker 2: a way of living your life that seemeth right. But
- 41:49Speaker 2: it will be justified eventually by the side effects that
- 41:53Speaker 2: come with you. If it is the way of the Lord,
- 41:56Speaker 2: the sorrow component will be editaied out of day. It is.
- 42:00Speaker 2: It's an accurate path that you must follow Alleluyer prance
- 42:05Speaker 2: the name of the Lord. There are people in their
- 42:09Speaker 2: world quest for fame, respectfully speaking, have gone away from
- 42:13Speaker 2: the patterns of God and when to explore other options
- 42:17Speaker 2: to being famous. Some of them have lost their lives today.
- 42:21Speaker 2: Some of them lost their bishopric, unfortunately. But there were
- 42:24Speaker 2: others through the foolishness of obedience and alignment, one step
- 42:29Speaker 2: after the other, a little here, a little there, not
- 42:33Speaker 2: having any comeliness to be desired. But they followed the
- 42:36Speaker 2: way of the Lord. And they have found out that
- 42:38Speaker 2: through those carts, and through those pain and through the
- 42:41Speaker 2: cross is a throne waiting for you. The way of
- 42:53Speaker 2: the Lord is the way of excellency and the way
- 42:56Speaker 2: of wisdom. There is a way, genuine spiritual, how it
- 43:00Speaker 2: comes upon men. There is a way wisdom comes upon men.
- 43:04Speaker 2: There is no amount of importation, for instance, that will
- 43:08Speaker 2: replace the place of diligence and study. It says study
- 43:12Speaker 2: to show yourself approved. The assignment of the spirit of
- 43:15Speaker 2: wisdom is to work in partnership with your diligence, to
- 43:19Speaker 2: see that you access superior dimensions of knowledge. But it
- 43:23Speaker 2: will not replace diligence. So I can know how to
- 43:29Speaker 2: help a believer by studying the road you are following. Listen,
- 43:37Speaker 2: I wish I had the time, I would have shown
- 43:39Speaker 2: you something the Lord revealed to me very profoundly from Scripture.
- 43:44Speaker 2: Every name you see in the Bible, it's not just
- 43:47Speaker 2: the name of a biblical actor. Every name you see
- 43:51Speaker 2: in the Bible captured within it is a road map
- 43:55Speaker 2: that leads to a kind of believer. So when you
- 43:58Speaker 2: say Abra, Abraham is not just the name of a patriarch.
- 44:03Speaker 2: Abraham is also a coded language to a kind of
- 44:07Speaker 2: pathway that produces a certain believer. Elijah is not just
- 44:12Speaker 2: the name of a prophet. Elijah is a road map
- 44:15Speaker 2: that produces a kind of believer. Gideon is a road map.
- 44:20Speaker 2: Roof is a road map. So when God wants to
- 44:23Speaker 2: build you for destiny, as you work with God, you
- 44:26Speaker 2: will start finding out that certain names stand out in Scripture.
- 44:30Speaker 2: It is not the name he wants you to study.
- 44:32Speaker 2: There is a history behind those names that if you follow,
- 44:36Speaker 2: you will start becoming a certain kind of believer. When
- 44:40Speaker 2: God wants to prepare you having the destiny of Esther,
- 44:43Speaker 2: he will lead you to Esther not just to study
- 44:46Speaker 2: the woman, but to study how God leaves people from
- 44:49Speaker 2: their lowly estate and connects them to royalty for the
- 44:53Speaker 2: purpose of using their influence to advance the program of God.
- 44:57Speaker 2: Can I tell you one of the ways you will
- 45:00Speaker 2: know you are working accurately with God is you must
- 45:03Speaker 2: find a parallel in the Bible of the way you
- 45:06Speaker 2: are following. There has to be a figure in the
- 45:09Speaker 2: Bible that parallels what the Spirit is doing in your life.
- 45:13Speaker 2: If you have not found it yet, either keep suching
- 45:16Speaker 2: or repent from the way you are following. But if
- 45:19Speaker 2: it is God you are learning somewhere in your Christian experience,
- 45:23Speaker 2: please listen to what I'm telling you. If God is
- 45:26Speaker 2: raising you to be a prophet, you will find a
- 45:28Speaker 2: similarity of your dealing with one of There has to
- 45:32Speaker 2: be a parallel. Jesus opened the book and he found
- 45:36Speaker 2: where it was written concerning him. It is written concerning everybody.
- 45:42Speaker 2: It is not written in plain language, It is written
- 45:45Speaker 2: in codes. It will take the spirit to open your
- 45:48Speaker 2: eyes to say so, this nay he maya have been reading,
- 45:51Speaker 2: is actually my destiny. It is not just a copera
- 45:55Speaker 2: of a king. From a historic and a doctrinal standpoint,
- 45:59Speaker 2: you are dealing with the copeer of the king. But
- 46:01Speaker 2: when the prophetic layer of scripture is open, you will
- 46:04Speaker 2: see that that man you call meh Maaya is actually
- 46:07Speaker 2: somebody in Taraba that God is raising. There must be
- 46:12Speaker 2: a scriptural expression of your destiny. Do you believe what
- 46:18Speaker 2: I'm teaching you? So, my dear lady, you may not
- 46:23Speaker 2: know why God is isolating you. You may not be
- 46:26Speaker 2: the first born, but it's like God is training you
- 46:29Speaker 2: as both a man and a woman, and you are
- 46:32Speaker 2: saying Lord the harshness of this training. One day in
- 46:34Speaker 2: the place of prayer, the bora will stand out for
- 46:37Speaker 2: you and you will now see that that the bora
- 46:40Speaker 2: you are being reading is actually the road map you
- 46:42Speaker 2: have been following, because there is a kind of warrior
- 46:45Speaker 2: He's training you to become.
- 46:53Speaker 3: I know the Lion. I know the Lamb. I know
- 47:02Speaker 3: the lion. I know the Lamb.
- 47:10Speaker 2: I believe in the lion. I believe in the lamb,
- 47:19Speaker 2: and I follow the Lion. I follow the Lamb every time.
- 47:31Speaker 2: In ancient times, when a child of destiny was born,
- 47:35Speaker 2: the kings who asked their wise men to go and
- 47:38Speaker 2: check the archives, find it. If it is somebody who
- 47:42Speaker 2: is a person of promise there must be something prophetic
- 47:45Speaker 2: about that person. Go and find it, and they will say, truly,
- 47:49Speaker 2: we have found it. When Jesus was born, remember what happened,
- 47:53Speaker 2: he said, no, go on such and they came. They say,
- 47:56Speaker 2: it's true. It's true, O King, it is true. Prophecy
- 48:01Speaker 2: someone is born and said, oh, really, okay, let me
- 48:04Speaker 2: know where he is so that I will also come
- 48:05Speaker 2: and worship him. The king was threatened because no two
- 48:09Speaker 2: kings live there. But Prophecy called that man a king,
- 48:12Speaker 2: not a baby. And even as a baby, he will
- 48:14Speaker 2: not even allow him go. Let's kill him early. Because
- 48:17Speaker 2: that destiny, provided it is written, it has come to pass.
- 48:26Speaker 2: The knowledge of God's character. The knowledge of God's ways
- 48:33Speaker 2: is called the mysteries of the Kingdom. Listen, respectfully speaking,
- 48:37Speaker 2: if you're a man of God, here, the strength of
- 48:39Speaker 2: your efficiency in ministry, as far as the ministry of
- 48:44Speaker 2: the world to people is concerned, to improve their life,
- 48:47Speaker 2: depends on your first understanding of the ways of God.
- 48:51Speaker 2: So if somebody comes to meet you now and says,
- 48:53Speaker 2: man of God, things are not going well. I have
- 48:56Speaker 2: lost my job. I have lost immediately from the files
- 49:01Speaker 2: in your spirit, you now go to a library. How
- 49:05Speaker 2: does restoration happen in the kingdom? You know how you
- 49:08Speaker 2: use an encyclopedia electronically while the person is talking, you
- 49:13Speaker 2: already know with the precision of a doctor. This man
- 49:16Speaker 2: is in need of restoration, but not any kind of restoration.
- 49:20Speaker 2: There is a pathway. And then the person comes says,
- 49:25Speaker 2: God is leading me things. I've not been working in
- 49:29Speaker 2: my life, and yet God gave me a strange instruction
- 49:32Speaker 2: that I should carry a serial seed than common soul.
- 49:35Speaker 2: Could that be God? You can vet it, knowing the
- 49:37Speaker 2: ways of God, and say, you are very accurate. In
- 49:40Speaker 2: the midst of your pain. He's calling you to sow
- 49:43Speaker 2: it is God. It is consistent with how he behaves.
- 49:46Speaker 2: There is a way, There is something he's bringing, He's
- 49:50Speaker 2: programming in your life. And he said I saw you
- 49:52Speaker 2: in a vision, and God said I should come and
- 49:55Speaker 2: drop this pastor, I'm just a young believer with accuracy,
- 49:58Speaker 2: you can let him know that as painful as this is,
- 50:01Speaker 2: there is a scripture that is written that he that
- 50:04Speaker 2: weepeth bearing precious seats shall doubtless return rejoicing. So that
- 50:10Speaker 2: activity is consistent with that which is written, even though
- 50:14Speaker 2: it is painful. You can tell him have no share.
- 50:17Speaker 2: You are working in the ways of God. Without the
- 50:21Speaker 2: knowledge of the ways of God, it is impossible to
- 50:23Speaker 2: help people. You will only help people emotionally. So someone
- 50:28Speaker 2: comes to say, I'm having all kinds of dreams and
- 50:30Speaker 2: there are attacks in my life, and the only thing
- 50:32Speaker 2: the Man of God. Well, let's pray, Lord help this
- 50:35Speaker 2: man meet. I don't know what to tell him. Is
- 50:37Speaker 2: just that I happen to be his pastor? Lord help him. No,
- 50:40Speaker 2: but you should be able to know when you know
- 50:43Speaker 2: the ways of God, and the person comes to you,
- 50:46Speaker 2: like Joseph coming to his father and says, Pastor, I
- 50:49Speaker 2: had a dream. Innocently I saw the sun, the moon
- 50:53Speaker 2: and eleven starts bowing. You begin to rejoice and say, ah,
- 50:57Speaker 2: so this is Joseph. Now let me prepare you, my
- 51:01Speaker 2: dear son. There is a peach coming, My dear son,
- 51:04Speaker 2: there is forty first wife coming. Build stamina in the
- 51:07Speaker 2: midst of the storm. Go and start praying three hours.
- 51:10Speaker 2: Why am I the one praying three hours? So that
- 51:12Speaker 2: when you are in that pitch, if it is Joseph
- 51:15Speaker 2: I saw, there must be a pit, there must be
- 51:18Speaker 2: PORTI first wife. So my assignment is to prepare you,
- 51:21Speaker 2: dear Joseph, so you don't die of offense when you're
- 51:24Speaker 2: in the pitch, and so that you are not weak
- 51:26Speaker 2: spiritually under the influence of Portifir's wife. I prepare you
- 51:30Speaker 2: to have the stamina to remain in the prison until
- 51:33Speaker 2: the King sends for you. This is how we help men.
- 51:36Speaker 2: So when members come to us, we are seeing different
- 51:40Speaker 2: characters in the Bible. And you know Sanel comes to
- 51:43Speaker 2: you as a man of God. You are not just
- 51:44Speaker 2: seeing a lady from somewhere in Mobi or in Taraba.
- 51:48Speaker 2: You are seeing Esther coming from her dreams and her description.
- 51:52Speaker 2: You know that this is Esther. You know how to
- 51:55Speaker 2: create a mentorship program that is allocated for her growth.
- 52:04Speaker 2: Pli capa russ Cati Brandy gave a Lacu theater. This
- 52:09Speaker 2: is how we make men mighty. Mighty in stature. You
- 52:14Speaker 2: don't administer the same training to everybody. No, Elijah cannot
- 52:19Speaker 2: mentor Ruth. No, if Elijah mentors Ruth, she will not
- 52:23Speaker 2: become Ruth. She will never meet Boas if Elijah mentors Ruth,
- 52:27Speaker 2: she will become Elijha. So, as a man of God,
- 52:32Speaker 2: when Ruth comes, you have to switch to become Naomi.
- 52:36Speaker 2: If it is Ruth you want to produce, only Naomi
- 52:39Speaker 2: can produce Ruth. Only Elijah can produce Elisha. Only Moses
- 52:45Speaker 2: can produce Joshua. The problem is Elijah is mentoring everybody.
- 52:54Speaker 2: So someone comes with the destiny of a Ruth and
- 52:57Speaker 2: becomes Elija and does not find for field men being
- 53:00Speaker 2: Elisha and says no. Something in my spirit is saying
- 53:04Speaker 2: I'm following a wrong path. Now you understand what Paul means.
- 53:09Speaker 2: Why I become all things to all men. I can
- 53:12Speaker 2: switch dimensions based on my perception, on what God has
- 53:16Speaker 2: called you to be. So there is a gentleman. When
- 53:20Speaker 2: you seek him with the destiny of Elisha and Elijah,
- 53:23Speaker 2: you can lock him up. And he says, I don't
- 53:25Speaker 2: know why God is asking me to first for three months,
- 53:28Speaker 2: I fasted January three months. And you look at him.
- 53:32Speaker 2: You say, I know that your training is hard, but
- 53:35Speaker 2: I know what you are becoming. Go ahead and do it.
- 53:40Speaker 2: Another person will come and you say, listen, go and
- 53:43Speaker 2: get those books. Because you are Daniel. It is your
- 53:46Speaker 2: intelligence that will be needed in Babylon. Go and settle down.
- 53:49Speaker 2: Make sure you go for the masters, go for PhD.
- 53:52Speaker 2: Because although you are a profect, it will be concealed
- 53:55Speaker 2: in knowledge. It is governmental power that will elevate you
- 53:59Speaker 2: in Babylon. You see, we continue to make mistakes in
- 54:03Speaker 2: mentoring believers because we have not known that the names
- 54:07Speaker 2: in the Bible represent spiritual dimensions. The Bible is not
- 54:11Speaker 2: made of Elijah alone, Abraham plus Sarah plus Gideon plus
- 54:17Speaker 2: de Bora plus Peter plus Paul abit together plus Andrew
- 54:21Speaker 2: plus all these people equal all the characters in scripture.
- 54:26Speaker 2: And we have been given the unique mandate by men
- 54:28Speaker 2: of God to bring and raise these diverse people. You
- 54:33Speaker 2: must know the ways of God enough to be able
- 54:36Speaker 2: to help men. So someone can come and meet you
- 54:40Speaker 2: and say, I don't know why the Lord is I
- 54:43Speaker 2: keep feeling that I should go and work in the
- 54:46Speaker 2: National Assembly. And you look at the person and say,
- 54:49Speaker 2: give me a moment. Let me look at you, not
- 54:51Speaker 2: from the lens of a preacher. Let me wear the
- 54:53Speaker 2: google of one who I need to trace the path
- 54:58Speaker 2: we are following from scripture. Spirit of the Living God,
- 55:01Speaker 2: What is the destiny of this young lady? And he
- 55:04Speaker 2: said that is es time the making. And he said, ah,
- 55:07Speaker 2: go go. It is a pathway that will lead you
- 55:09Speaker 2: to find a hazardous You are following the right part.
- 55:14Speaker 2: Are we together now? Yeah? Please see there. Let me
- 55:21Speaker 2: wrap up as God helps someone this morning. Please hear me, Tabbah,
- 55:32Speaker 2: your destiny is locked up here, your assignment in this conference,
- 55:37Speaker 2: please hear me. Many of you by this teaching, you
- 55:42Speaker 2: need to go back and let the scroll be unlocked.
- 55:47Speaker 2: Find out where you are here and find out whether
- 55:53Speaker 2: you have been trying to be ruth when you are
- 55:55Speaker 2: esther No, find out whether you have been trying to
- 56:03Speaker 2: be David whereas you are Gidyon Moses, don't ask me
- 56:10Speaker 2: why they were attacked from your childhood? That is how
- 56:13Speaker 2: the destiny of Moses is. What is it with sickness
- 56:17Speaker 2: and people hating me as a little child? Do you
- 56:19Speaker 2: not read about Moses? Was Moses spared even as a baby.
- 56:23Speaker 2: All deliverers are attacked even from their birth? Do you
- 56:26Speaker 2: not read about Jesus, the savior of the deliverer? So
- 56:29Speaker 2: when you tell me from age two, sickness wanted to
- 56:32Speaker 2: kill me as a young person, everybody kept hating me, uhhah.
- 56:36Speaker 2: And you are describing a picture by your pain, and
- 56:39Speaker 2: I can trace your destiny from Scripture. Now it makes
- 56:46Speaker 2: sense to rejoice in the midst of your pain. Count
- 56:49Speaker 2: it all joy, because in the midst of that pain,
- 56:52Speaker 2: it is leading you through a roadmap. You can now
- 56:55Speaker 2: laugh in the midst of storms. I don't know why
- 56:57Speaker 2: all my siblings hate me. I don't know why I
- 57:00Speaker 2: am the last born, yet everybody comes to meet me
- 57:02Speaker 2: for advice. It's more than just being a nice person.
- 57:05Speaker 2: Profess is calling you and saying are you not seeing
- 57:08Speaker 2: Destiny is waiting for you and saying, if you know
- 57:11Speaker 2: the ways of God, you will know how to navigate
- 57:14Speaker 2: your own path in destiny and know how to help people.
- 57:19Speaker 2: If you are David, make sure you are not only
- 57:22Speaker 2: a musician. You must learn the art of war because
- 57:25Speaker 2: you will fight many back to save your life. If
- 57:29Speaker 2: you are David, train your eyes early so that you
- 57:32Speaker 2: don't make the mistake of David in the Bible. Train
- 57:35Speaker 2: your eyes and discipline yourself spiritually, because one day you
- 57:39Speaker 2: will look at Bethsheba. Make sure when it is time
- 57:42Speaker 2: for war, go for war. Don't be in your house.
- 57:45Speaker 2: There is an implication. If you stand in your house
- 57:48Speaker 2: during the time of war, you are going to see Berdsheba.
- 57:53Speaker 2: If you are Samson, protects the covenant that God's the
- 57:59Speaker 2: spirit of mine in your life. If you are Samson,
- 58:02Speaker 2: Delilah will come. She will not come as a woman,
- 58:06Speaker 2: but she will come Samson. Your covenant is in your hair.
- 58:15Speaker 2: So when you see other people careless with their hair,
- 58:18Speaker 2: that is because they are not Samson. But because you
- 58:21Speaker 2: are Samson, you have to protect your hair. You will
- 58:25Speaker 2: find out that God's business with you centers around your hair,
- 58:29Speaker 2: not your hand, because your hand does not look like it.
- 58:34Speaker 2: Delilah will ask you how come you are not mutual,
- 58:37Speaker 2: yet you are strong. You must learn how to keep
- 58:41Speaker 2: silent and only speak when it is necessary. That is
- 58:44Speaker 2: the training of Samson. If you are noisy Samson, you
- 58:49Speaker 2: will die before the time of your manifestation. It was
- 58:52Speaker 2: the inability to keep quiet as a Samson that plot
- 58:56Speaker 2: his eyes his hair. Let me give you the last one,
- 59:07Speaker 2: the person who used to thank your Lord Bishop for
- 59:13Speaker 2: hearing God enough to put as simple as this is
- 59:17Speaker 2: many of you is when you are lying down quietly,
- 59:20Speaker 2: this message will be on replay in your spirit again.
- 59:23Speaker 2: You will now say, ah, so this is my life.
- 59:29Speaker 2: I see, this is why he came to me. So
- 59:34Speaker 2: I am Gideon. I am Gideon. Then list in my
- 59:38Speaker 2: father's house, and my father's house, the list in the clan.
- 59:43Speaker 2: I have always been angry. Why are we the poorest,
- 59:46Speaker 2: the smallest. Now I see, from knowing the ways of God,
- 59:50Speaker 2: that that is a Gideon in training. You now go
- 59:53Speaker 2: to scripture and start subscribing to the training that transforms
- 59:57Speaker 2: you to become a mighty man of valor. David, I
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: know you are destined for the palace, but make sure
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: you do not run away from the wilderness. If you
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: run away from the wilderness, goliad to chill you. Your
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: training is in the wilderness. So when you are alone, rejoice,
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: because that is where you will learn how to kill
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: the lion with nobody clapping for you. You will learn
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: how to kill the peer, with nobody clapping for you.
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: But one day, as small as you are, you will
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: be taking food to your loved ones, and you will
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: meet a beast that is arring. When you hear that row,
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: for many people it is oppression, but for you, it
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: is a sign that a season has changed. I sense
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: an annointing just rested on three people. I just saw
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: that light three people that grace in the name of
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. May that grace rest upon you. That there
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: is an importation, a quickening in your spirit. Man, as
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: you are hearing this now, the Lord is opening scripture
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: and he's showing you shine you your death, Sny through
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: the prophetic blueprints of scripture, sub rascu metage. You don't
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: have to bring them out here us. Yeah, just praying
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: one minute before we wrap up, one minute while you
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: are seated, sag. Someone is finding the road map into
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: his prophetic destiny. This is eternal life. This is eternal life.
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: Shady bash Ah, It's time for you now. You see.
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: It's connecting to your dreams. Your destiny is making sense now, Preacher,
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: Now you know that the journey you have been taken
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: in ministry, as painful as it is, there is a
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: karac time scripture. You are becoming. Do not abort your training.
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: Do not abort your training. Ten members, even after two years.
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: Don't be discouraged. It's not that you are not anointing.
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: You're you're not anointed. There is a certain character you
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: are becoming. Praying one minute and then I'll give you that.
- 1:02:19Speaker 4: No shadow, you liar mountain, your moon climber coming after me.
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: No wall you woon kick down, Lie you woom.

- 1:03:12Speaker 2: the Borough. Ruth, remain faithful in the training of Ruth. David,
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: you are going to be a mighty king. Don't expect
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: your training to be like that of a medio car.
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: We are talking about David. Elijah, you will become a
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: mighty prophet that will charge the works of berl. So
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: obtain grace and stamina in the midst of the plain. Now,

- 1:04:17Speaker 2: The Jews are depending on your wisdom, your carelessness, can
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: empower a man to destroy God's people. In Jesus' name,
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: we pray. Please sit down, let me give you the
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: last one and then we'll wrap up. I hope I've
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: not lost you this morning. Please let me challenge you.
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: Go online listen to this message again. This message is
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: a retreat manual. This is not something just to hear
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: in a conference. When this conference is over, go online
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: and get it. This is eternal life. I'm showing you
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: the dynamics the administration of stepping into the experience of
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: that life. You want to be invincible, your life being
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: a sign and a wonder. It begins by making that prayer,
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: that decision, but it does not stop there. There is
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: a network of pathways you must follow for the rich
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: capture of eternal life to be made manifest, that they
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: may know the the One True God and Jesus whom
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: thur sent a person. I want to speak and to
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: see the power of God moving a meeting. It's more
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: than an importation that handkerchiefs and aprons are taken from
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: your body. No, you can choose to be a habilist,
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: but if it's genuine annointing from heaven, from God, there
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: is a pathway that evolves a man into that possibility.
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: Can I give you the last name, the knowledge of
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: his character number one, the knowledge of his ways number two, finally,
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: the knowledge of his power efficients one mm hmmm, ay God,

- 1:07:32Speaker 2: years ago, and I heard the angel singing this song.

- 1:07:40Speaker 2: heard and I brought from the rem of the spirit.

- 1:08:47Speaker 2: But there are some of you. Your hunger cannot wait
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: for night. Something has already been activated within your spirit mind.
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: There is a hunger that is creating an augence in
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: the spirit. There is an apostle, there is a prophet.
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: The leaf the leaflets of your destiny has been opened
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: as a man of God. That there is something in
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: the spirit, A something's been broken within the spirit. Allah
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: shah sata kabe talika prat sadikobadi kata a crakadiata. I

- 1:09:44Speaker 2: your eyes shall see, Your eyes shall see, your eyes
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: shall see you. I shall see your eyes shall see.
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: Oh oh oh whoa hi Ali shaskaba charlega randa gabaretus
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: here hi.
- 1:10:28Speaker 4: Hi h.
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: He efficients one and verse eighteen. The knowledge of His
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: power hm hmm. Paul was praying over the believers in Ephesos.
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: It was a jurisdiction that was under his apostolic coverage
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: and mentorship, and he was helping the believers to mature,
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: and he prayed a prayer It says that the eyes
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: of your unders being enlightened, that you may know what
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: is the hope of his calling, and what is the
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: riches of the glory of his inheritance in the seins
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: I like the next verse, And what is the exceeding
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: greatness of His power to us world who believe according
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: to of his mighty power which he wrote in Christ,
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: when he raised him from the dead and set him
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: at his own right hand in heavenly places, far above
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: of all principality and power, and might, and dominion and
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: every name that is named, not only in the world,
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: but also in that which is to come, and had
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: put all things under his feet, and gave him to
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: be head over all things to the church, even his body,
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: the fullness of Him that feeled all. Listen in all
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: your knowledge. If you do not have the knowledge of
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: His power, you cannot work in dominion. Manifesting the experience
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: of dominion is beyond claiming it. There is access to
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: the knowledge of his character, access to the knowledge of
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: his ways, access to the knowledge of his power. Ladies
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: and gentlemen, it is at this realm that men in
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: the spirit are separated from boys. This is where the
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: fountain of grace flows. The knowledge of His power. Encapsulated
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: within this revelation is the prayer request of many people
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: that desire to heal the sick, to walk in dominion,
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: the desire to manifest authentic kingdom power. Ladies and gentlemen,
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: you have been praying, Oh God, grant me access to
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: genuine spiritual power. This is where it lies that you
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: will know the exceeding greatness of His power to us. Word,
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: who believe I have spoken once? The Bible says, and
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: twice have you heard that power belonged to God. The
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: power to heal, the power to raise, the power to deliver,
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: the power to speak the purposes of God over nations
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: and shift spiritual climates, the power to bring down revival
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: across territories. It resides in a revelation. Please hear me.
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: When you have access to this truth, my dear believers,
- 1:14:20Speaker 2: respectfully speaking, you will tourn Tarabah. You will turn the
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: north here upside down, not just by religious bigotry and fanatism,
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: but a manifestation of authentic proof table grace. It's one
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: thing to say it, but it's another thing to show it.
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: This kingdom is not only a kingdom of speech. In
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: this kingdom there is the demonstration of power, it says,
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: and when I came to you, I did not come
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: in the excellency of speech, but in the demonstration of power.
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: That your faith will not rest upon so far the
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: wisdom of men, but upon the power of God. Acts.
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: Chapter eight and verse five, the Bible says Philip went
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: down to Samiria, and he preached Christ onto them. Verse
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: six it says, and the people with one accord gave
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: heed to those things which Philip speak. Hearing and seeing,
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: Man of God. This is the dimension you need to enter.
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: People love hurt too much. They need to see if
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: it is the gospel. Man must hear and see, all
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: taste and see that the Lord is good. Don't just
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: tell people God is good. Let them test and see
- 1:15:44Speaker 2: that the Lord is good. Can I tell you sincerely,
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: and I say this respectfully speaking, do not downplay the
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: role that the power of God has to play in
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: bringing sinners to the cross, in bringing believers to be transformed,
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: and in advancing the purposes of God. The language that
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: the devil understands his power, it says, some sixty three
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: and verse three say onto God. Some sixty six and
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: verse three say onto God, how terrible are doubt in
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: your ways. Through the greatness of Thy power, shall their
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: enemies so meet themselves. There are situations in our lives
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: and in the lives of our family members to come
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: to you. Even I tall once and again, but Satan
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: hindered them. Favor that was sent was coming to you,
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: but Satan hindered it. The members that were coming to
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: you were coming, but Satan hindered them. Jesus announced his
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: messireship by finding and reading a place where it was
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: written concern him. But he did not stop there. He
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: closed the book, the Bible says, and the eyes of
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: everyone was fastened towards him. And he saw a man
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: whose hand was withered. And he told that man, if
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: it is true that the spirit of the Lord is
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: upon me, if it is true that He has anointed me,
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: to bind up the broken harted, to preach the Gospel
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: to the mick, to bind up the broken harted, to
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: set at liberty them that are bruised, to declare the
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: acceptable year of the Lord. If this is true, then
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: I come with the demonstration of that spirit. Stretch forth
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: your hand, and the Bible says. The man stretched forth
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: his hand, and his hand became hell and haty. Was
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: it not by the manifestation of power that Pharaoh gave
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: up on the captivity of Israel. It was not with discussions.
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: It was with a mighty hand and outstretched hand. Nine
- 1:17:48Speaker 2: plagues and Pharaoh was still stopborn, and one more plague
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: that caused the life of his son. Whoever told you
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: Satan will let you go just because God said you
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: should work in liberty? You not know, he says pop
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: on spirit. Are You're not aware of his resilience and
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: his determination. He will stop you from having children, He
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: will stop your ministry from having visibility. He will stop
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: you from going forward. He will misrepresent you to your world.
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: It takes pamina and the administration of power to create
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: your realities and your possibilities in this life. The ministry
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: of power. The Church was founded upon the platform of power.
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: The church advancing the early days upon the platform of power.
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: The Church continues to thrive today, making destiny progress and
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: advancing the program of God upon the platform of power.
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: Please hear me. Power is not for preachers. When he
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: says ye shall receive power, he was speaking to all men.
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: He said, for the promises for you and your children
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: and your children's children When I talk of power, I
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: hope you know that it's beyond falling that one standing up. No,
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: we're not talking about that. We're talking about the ability
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: to manipulate the spiritual, the social, economic, the physical climate
- 1:19:11Speaker 2: over man until it becomes a reflection of the dominion
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: of Jesus. Power that does not translate to liberty is
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: not power. Power is beyond a basis for marketing the
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: ministry of a man. No, for many of us, our
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: postume for power is just as a way of creating validation.
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: The assignment of power is more than that. For every
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: tear you see, it is power that wipes that year.
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: Did you hear what I said? Everyone you ever see crying,
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: I want you to know that your compassion must be
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: backed up by power to wipe the tears. I have
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: been ten years without a child. It takes more than
- 1:19:57Speaker 2: saying sorry your standards, one who is sent by God
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: and saying the name of Jesus, I bring you the
- 1:20:04Speaker 2: power and the dominion of this kingdom. Why do we
- 1:20:07Speaker 2: claim we belong to a kingdom of power, and yet
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: we are not able to demonstrate the riches and the
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: power that resides within that kingdom. It is because we
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: have pressed for anointing, but we have not pressed for
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: the knowledge of the power that raised Christ from the dead.
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: Do you know the kind of power that was exacted
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: that brought Jesus from Hades back to the earth. Paul
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: said that you will know. If that power can bring
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: Jesus from the earth, it can't take anybody from the
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: ground to the throne. The power that the grave could
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: not stand, is it a job that will stand it?
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: The power that the grave could not stand. Seen Satan,
- 1:20:50Speaker 2: Hell and the Grave, all these forces were defeated hands
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: down in the face of that power. And he said,
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: as my father has sent me, so send are you?
- 1:21:00Speaker 2: Listen to me. We're going to pray and wrap up
- 1:21:02Speaker 2: for now, but let me charge you as you come tonight.
- 1:21:06Speaker 2: Come with your heart open. You see, when God gives
- 1:21:09Speaker 2: us the privilege to travel to regions and stare believers.
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: Like I said yesterday, my greatest desire is not to
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: be seen as a great man of God. My greatest
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: desire is to be seen as a privileged vessel that
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: has been granted the grace and apostleship by God to
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: be able to help hold the hands of many and
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: bring them higher to greater spiritual pedestrials. This is a
- 1:21:33Speaker 2: no black testimony than being a great man. So every
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: time God grants us the privilege, let me tell you this,
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: and he said disclaimer. I will emphasize with all the
- 1:21:47Speaker 2: miracles and the demonstration of the spirit, the goal is
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: not creating a celebrity out of this man. A goal
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: is seeing a man as a template for the possibility
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: that everybody can enter in Christ is eternal life that
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: you see. The healing is the administration of eternal life.
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: Great is the mystery of godliness, that God can endwell
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: a man and turn ordinary men to become sons of God.
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: They called the apostles, seals and hemes because they could not.
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: They had to add a define, a difine addition to them,
- 1:22:24Speaker 2: that you could not be ordinary men manifesting these possibilities,
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: that at the end of this conference, as a man
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: of God, haven't traveled from all fine year, haven't shelled
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: your activities perhaps other conferences. You should not just go
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: back saying wow, it was a good preacher, but that
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: you can important grace you probably did not come with
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: and return back with it. That men can see you
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: and say it's soul. Also part of them that you
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: have accessed something from heaven. Lights number one, but power
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: number two. Lights number one, but power number In all
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: your getting, get empowerment, he said Tarry in Jerusalem. I
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: have taught you, But teaching is not enough until ye
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: be endued with power Penny l twenty twenty three. It
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: is not just that you are born to win. If
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: you are born to win, you must be full of power.
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: It takes power to command Dominium. Jesus was not just
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: full of grace and truth. He was filled with the
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: spirit beyond measure? Is he not? In Acts, Chapter ten
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: and verse thirty eight. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth,
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: The Bible says Peter was speaking in the house of
- 1:23:37Speaker 2: Cornelius to the gentile church. The Bible says he went
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: about doing good and healing all day that were oppressed
- 1:23:45Speaker 2: of the devil, for God was with him. What was
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: the basis? He was anointed with the Holy ghost, But
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: he was anointed with power. The disciples only had information,
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: and they could not do anything in the presence of
- 1:23:58Speaker 2: the sick, except where Jesus send them with his name.
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: They came back rejoicing and said, even the demons were
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: subject towards in your name, But the time would come
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: when they access genuine spiritual power, and with that power
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: they work valiantly. They advance the purposes of the kingdom.
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: Can I tell you the darkness over Tarabah, the darkness
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: over this region in the north, is not just waiting
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: for prayer through people alone, as important as that is.
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: It's waiting for men and women who have understood the
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: full import of eternal life. Men who can stand like
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: Elijah and make declarations from one point, not in a
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: radio station, not in a TV station. The spiritual climate
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: does not need that paraphernalia to respond. If you have
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: genuine power the spiritual climate where in you have been
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: you are domicile, can acknowledge the fact that the hand
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: of God is upon your life, not by being called
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: a man of God, but that you exue power, power,
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: genuine power the spirit. When I began my work with God,
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: I prayed that I would know him sincerely. But I
- 1:25:07Speaker 2: prayed a sincere prayer. Many of you may have heard it.
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: Pat Robertson, He's going to be with the Lord now.
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: I heard his testimony as a young man when he
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: was about to start ministry seven hundred club SIBM, and
- 1:25:21Speaker 2: he prayed three prayer points. He said, Oh, God, grant
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: me access to wisdom, Grant me access to favor. Grant
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: me access to the annointing of the Holy Ghost. I
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: went back and I prayed the same prayer, because the
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: Bible says there are two ways of becoming. Number one
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: is to follow them. Number two is to look on
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: to Jesus. These are the two ways by which transformation happens. Ultimately,
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: we look onto Jesus, but for transformation to happen at
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: a nuclear level, you must learn to follow them. There
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: are some them who have obtained the promises. And I
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: pray that prayer. I said, Lord, do not send me
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: to the nations. If the only thing I have is
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: a message. Do not send me to the nations. If
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: the only thing I have is an explanation. Creation is
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: not waiting for the explanation of the sons of God.
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: Grant and place something upon my life that in the
- 1:26:22Speaker 2: midst of all these speakings we can import the reality
- 1:26:26Speaker 2: of the life of God and with it correct and
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: with it create, and with it manifest divine possibilities in
- 1:26:35Speaker 2: the lives of people. Can we spend two minutes praying
- 1:26:38Speaker 2: this morning as we wrap up this session, is it
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: al right if we pray place rise upon your feet,
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: just give your destinies two minutes as we pray, just
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: one prayer point, and then we pray. This is eternal
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: life life, John seventeen Udus three, that they may know THEE,
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: the one True God, and Jesus, whom thou hast sent
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: and have broken the knowledge of God for you into
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: three compartments. Number one, the knowledge of his character. Number two,
- 1:27:21Speaker 2: the knowledge of his ways. Number three the knowledge of
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: his power. Let that become your prayer point, Father, that
- 1:27:29Speaker 2: I may know you. Go ahead and pray that I
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: may know your character, that I may know your ways,
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: that I may know your power. Is someone praying Penniel
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. Let it be from the depth of
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: your heart the knowledge of his character, making you a
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: believer with confidence void of hear, because you know who
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: God is. The Lord is gracious and compassionate, law to anger,
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: and rich in love. When Jesus came before the Bible
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: would talk about his power, The Bible tells us in
- 1:28:09Speaker 2: John chapter one that he was full of grace and truth.
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: Go ahead and pray reveal your character, give me confidence,
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: erode my ears. Let me become like you in experience
- 1:28:26Speaker 2: through the knowledge of your character. Pray for the knowledge
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: of His ways. Grant me intelligence to understand the modus
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: operandi of the Kingdom, the spiritual pathway that leads to
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: the various outcomes, the systems of advantage that have been
- 1:28:45Speaker 2: provided for the believer in Christ. And then pray the
- 1:28:51Speaker 2: knowledge of your power. The power to subdue principalities and
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: powers in experience, the power to exact dominion upon situations
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: and circumstances, the power to rewrite the stories of men's lives,
- 1:29:10Speaker 2: to reprogram the spiritual climate over our men, to when
- 1:29:15Speaker 2: thrown the Christ across every strata of human activities, to
- 1:29:20Speaker 2: advance the program of God forcefully, to keep satan and
- 1:29:25Speaker 2: demons at day, to see to it that the Gospel
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: dense crowns across the earth. Let me have the knowledge
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: of that power. For in Jesus' mighty name we have prayed.
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: In Jesus' mighty name, we have prayed for one last time.
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: Let me lend my voice with that of His Lordship
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: to encourage you that our session tonight is I would
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: just share one more thing one more key tonight and
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: then will have the time to be able to minister
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: to the needs of people. I believe in the Jesus
- 1:30:08Speaker 2: that ministers to the needs of people. Allelujah, Yes, that
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: your press should not go back oppressed. And then in
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: addition to that, the Bible says he sent a word
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: onto Jacob, and it lightened upon Israel. That means every
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: grace God gives a man should go beyond that man.
- 1:30:29Speaker 2: You are only It's like an empty and mast or
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: you see how the mast is. It is kept in
- 1:30:35Speaker 2: one place, but it does not serve itself. People are
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: able to connect within that region. That is what God
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: has called us to be. We may be steawards of
