Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Hallelujah, Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Good morning, everybody.
- 0:11Speaker 1: Thank you so much again for the honor. And I
- 0:14Speaker 1: trust that God is helping us as we're learning his word.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Hallelujah this morning.
- 0:24Speaker 1: I trust that God will speak towards yet again, for
- 0:29Speaker 1: when his word comes, wisdom comes with his word. When
- 0:33Speaker 1: his word comes, direction comes. And so may I request
- 0:37Speaker 1: that we left our hands to heaven again and ask.
- 0:40Speaker 2: The Lord to speak towards again.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Speak to me, Oh God, my destinies, at the messy
- 0:56Speaker 1: of your word, at the messy of your wisdom, at
- 1:01Speaker 1: the mercy of your direction.
- 1:04Speaker 2: It is only in.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Your light that we see light. Someone is asking God
- 1:08Speaker 1: for direction. For in Jesus' name we pray. Let me
- 1:24Speaker 1: again honor the fathers in the land who are here present.
- 1:28Speaker 1: The Lord bless you, Daddy, The Lord bless you, sir,
- 1:31Speaker 1: and every other person, whether you're in front.
- 1:33Speaker 2: Or somewhere at the back. May the Lord honor you.
- 1:37Speaker 1: We recognize and we appreciate that which you stand for
- 1:42Speaker 1: and for every man of God who is here, woman
- 1:44Speaker 1: of God, May the Lord bless you. Thank you for
- 1:47Speaker 1: making the sacrifice to be here. In Jesus' name, Please
- 1:50Speaker 1: let's be seated.
- 2:06Speaker 2: In back home.
- 2:10Speaker 1: On Sunday approached a message called the Purified Church, and
- 2:17Speaker 1: for those of you who were able to follow, it
- 2:23Speaker 1: was a clarion call to the body of Christ. And
- 2:27Speaker 1: I want to request this morning, please as much as
- 2:31Speaker 1: you can, please go on YouTube. I wanted to get
- 2:36Speaker 1: that message and listen to it. It should be one
- 2:40Speaker 1: of those messages that you not only listened to both
- 2:44Speaker 1: your treasure and archive.
- 2:46Speaker 2: It will help your life, allelujah.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Essentially, it was a call to greater levels of purity,
- 2:56Speaker 1: greater levels of refinement, even by the spirit. And in
- 3:02Speaker 1: that teaching I did reveal by the Spirit seven deadly
- 3:09Speaker 1: scenes that are plaguing the church global, the Church in Africa,
- 3:16Speaker 1: and even the Church in Nigeria. To the end that
- 3:22Speaker 1: God will help us to purge ourselves and to be
- 3:26Speaker 1: vessels of honor. The Bible says, nevertheless, the foundation of
- 3:30Speaker 1: the Lord's standard show having this seal, that the Lord
- 3:34Speaker 1: knoweth them that are His, and let every man that
- 3:37Speaker 1: named the name of Christ depart from iniquity, he says.
- 3:41Speaker 1: But in a great house there are all kinds of vessels, gold, silver,
- 3:47Speaker 1: would clay, he says. Some vessels are onto honor, and
- 3:51Speaker 1: some vessels are onto Dishonor says if a man will
- 3:55Speaker 1: purge himself, that man will be a vessel onto honor,
- 4:00Speaker 1: meet for the master's use. Allelujah. And I'm not teaching
- 4:06Speaker 1: on that today, but I just thought that in addition
- 4:10Speaker 1: to what we'll be hearing this morning, it is very
- 4:14Speaker 1: very important, but probably just a one minute recap.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Of the seven scenes.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Now, when I teach and challenge the Body of Christ,
- 4:27Speaker 1: it is not from a standpoint of self righteousness, for
- 4:30Speaker 1: we are all products of God's mercy. The true character
- 4:35Speaker 1: of administering teachings that purify the body is that we ourselves.
- 4:40Speaker 2: We must know that all be it.
- 4:42Speaker 1: At the end of these seven teachings, our seven description,
- 4:48Speaker 1: there is nobody who stands in self righteousness, believing there
- 4:52Speaker 1: is nothing to adjust him. You see, when you really
- 4:56Speaker 1: want to grow and serve God acceptably, you must of
- 5:00Speaker 1: the honor of being right with God more than the
- 5:03Speaker 1: honor of preserving your reputation. It is usually fashionable to
- 5:09Speaker 1: act in a position of blamelessness and self righteousness, but
- 5:13Speaker 1: it will only lead to self deception. This is the
- 5:17Speaker 1: cancer that has destroyed the Mighty We are not mighty
- 5:21Speaker 1: because we're blameless. We're mighty because we're helped by God. Allelujah.
- 5:27Speaker 1: And so every time, as a man of God, when
- 5:29Speaker 1: you teach and challenge people, make sure you are not
- 5:32Speaker 1: just pointing fingers at them. Make sure you are God
- 5:35Speaker 1: is using you to speak to everybody. I have listened
- 5:39Speaker 1: to that teaching two or three times myself, even though
- 5:42Speaker 1: I'm the one who preached it.
- 5:46Speaker 2: If someone learning already, let me just run through.
- 5:50Speaker 1: The seven the seven scenes with you. That's not a discussion,
- 5:56Speaker 1: but just to start now. I really wanted to take
- 6:01Speaker 1: out time to listen because I did share in that
- 6:05Speaker 1: teaching that the way God mattures and purifies the church
- 6:10Speaker 1: is through a scriptural blend of commendations and corrections. Every
- 6:17Speaker 1: time the spirit of the Christ in his purity is
- 6:21Speaker 1: administering purging to the body. It is never about correction
- 6:26Speaker 1: and condemnation alone. It is always a blend of commendation.
- 6:32Speaker 1: God is always attentive to the things that we do
- 6:36Speaker 1: that are right, and He will always be fair enough
- 6:39Speaker 1: to patters at the bag to say well done. And
- 6:42Speaker 1: then He will now point to you the areas where
- 6:44Speaker 1: you need. And this is the structure that must be
- 6:48Speaker 1: used in mentoring and building people. When your ministry captures
- 6:52Speaker 1: only commendation, you are going to produce a weak and
- 6:55Speaker 1: a flattered people who will not be able to grow.
- 6:59Speaker 2: Into stature and maturity.
- 7:01Speaker 1: At the flip side, when your ministry is full of
- 7:04Speaker 1: pointing fingers.
- 7:05Speaker 2: And condemnation, you will discourage people. Are we together? You
- 7:10Speaker 2: see that written in the seven churches.
- 7:12Speaker 1: When you read Revelations, you see that the church in Ephisos.
- 7:16Speaker 2: He begins with them. He says, I know your.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Work, that you have tried those who claim that their apostles,
- 7:22Speaker 1: and you have found them liars.
- 7:24Speaker 2: I commend you for this.
- 7:25Speaker 1: However, I have this against you, that you have left
- 7:29Speaker 1: your first love returned to me. So he goes to
- 7:33Speaker 1: the church and smynner. He goes to the church in Pagamos.
- 7:35Speaker 1: He begins to go to the churches, commending them.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Are weay together?
- 7:41Speaker 1: So in that teaching, I took out time to commend
- 7:44Speaker 1: the Nigerian, the African Church, and even the Church global
- 7:48Speaker 1: for its immense contribution. It's impossible to say the church
- 7:53Speaker 1: is not doing anything. It's an indictment on the ministry
- 7:56Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit. However, it still does not mean
- 8:01Speaker 1: that the church does not need purging, because the Bible
- 8:04Speaker 1: says in John fifteen that when you bear food, the
- 8:07Speaker 1: gift you receive is pulling, so that you will be
- 8:10Speaker 1: a much fruit. Seven deadly scenes. Number one is the
- 8:15Speaker 1: scene of immorality and related perversions.
- 8:19Speaker 2: The Lord challenged us extensively on this.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Sexual immorality number one, but order immoral perversions, masturbation, pornography,
- 8:31Speaker 1: all kinds of things.
- 8:33Speaker 2: That this is a cancer.
- 8:35Speaker 1: I did say that that cancer, it does not care
- 8:38Speaker 1: whether you're an apostle, you're a prophet, does not care
- 8:41Speaker 1: whether you're a prayer warrior.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Firsting giant word addict.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Now, I did explain a few psychological things that you
- 8:49Speaker 1: may want to listen to. There are many people who
- 8:52Speaker 1: are dying in silence, and I did suggest a five
- 8:56Speaker 1: step approach for complete liberty from all of this. Allelujah,
- 9:02Speaker 1: any and all kinds of immoral challenges in the life
- 9:07Speaker 1: of an individual. Number one that you have to admit it,
- 9:11Speaker 1: for if you do not admit that there is a
- 9:13Speaker 1: problem that needs correction, you cannot be helped. Number two
- 9:18Speaker 1: is that you must dedicate time alone with God, time.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Of brokenness and repentance.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Fifty one the palm of David crying out his heart
- 9:30Speaker 1: in repentance after he encountered prophet Nathan. You go to
- 9:33Speaker 1: verse seventeen and he prayed. The Bible says, the sacrifices of.
- 9:37Speaker 2: God are a broken heart. Are we together? Yes?
- 9:43Speaker 1: And number three seek help to seek help from trusted
- 9:47Speaker 1: people who have demonstrated grace and psychological maturity. Number four,
- 9:52Speaker 1: you must create rules and boundaries around your life. Most
- 9:56Speaker 1: times in the church we stop at point three. Do
- 10:00Speaker 1: not create rules and boundaries. The Bible says, a man
- 10:03Speaker 1: who does not have a watch over.
- 10:06Speaker 2: His spirit is like a city without walls.
- 10:08Speaker 1: And then number five, you connect to a larger body
- 10:12Speaker 1: of believers community, kingdom living is the key to sustaining
- 10:16Speaker 1: kingdom values.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Allelujah.
- 10:19Speaker 1: And then number two scene number two that I did
- 10:22Speaker 1: discuss in that teaching is the loss for money and
- 10:25Speaker 1: material things. The second scene and cancer that the body
- 10:30Speaker 1: of Christ must be proched by the.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Obsession that lost for money.
- 10:36Speaker 1: When the loss for money and material things become the
- 10:40Speaker 1: drive for your life, it will manipulate the messages you preach.
- 10:44Speaker 1: It will manipulate your character, It will manipulate your approach,
- 10:49Speaker 1: It will corrupt the purity of your pursuit.
- 10:52Speaker 2: This is even true for men of God.
- 10:54Speaker 1: You may have heard me say when I started ministry,
- 10:57Speaker 1: I didn't know that there was anything called honor. I
- 11:00Speaker 1: didn't know that a man of God would preach and
- 11:03Speaker 1: you can carry a basket of banana or a hulah
- 11:06Speaker 1: with rice or ten ira to put in his hand.
- 11:08Speaker 2: It was never and will never be.
- 11:10Speaker 1: The pursuit away together. It's very very important. The lost
- 11:16Speaker 1: for money. I believe in prosperity. Materialism is not having materials.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Materialism is the influence of materials.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Over your relationship with God.
- 11:30Speaker 1: You see, you don't have to have money to be materialistic.
- 11:35Speaker 1: You can be poor and materialistic. The dominion of money
- 11:38Speaker 1: and your obsession for things, if and when it replaces
- 11:42Speaker 1: your passion for God, then you're in trouble. The first
- 11:45Speaker 1: law of wealth is not tything. The first law of
- 11:49Speaker 1: wealth is not giving. The first law of wealth is
- 11:52Speaker 1: the law of total surrender. They gave themselves onto God first,
- 11:58Speaker 1: before their resources. The mass do and Church scene number
- 12:01Speaker 1: three that I did discuss their each witchcraft and extra
- 12:06Speaker 1: biblical practices. This is the third scene that the body
- 12:11Speaker 1: of Christ in Nigeria, extends to Africa and then world
- 12:15Speaker 1: over needs to be purged the sin of witchcraft and
- 12:20Speaker 1: extra biblical practices. In terms of purity of call and service,
- 12:27Speaker 1: there are three groups, especially of people in the church
- 12:31Speaker 1: and men of God. Number one, there are people who
- 12:33Speaker 1: are called the pure breed, those who love God sincerely
- 12:37Speaker 1: and have worked in keeping with divine patterns.
- 12:40Speaker 2: Number two, there are those who are sincere.
- 12:43Speaker 1: They are pure in heart, but either by the reason
- 12:46Speaker 1: of inaccurate mentorship or pressure, they have submitted themselves to people, associations,
- 12:53Speaker 1: and fraternities that have corrupted the purity of their call
- 12:58Speaker 1: and their grace, either for power, out of frustration, for
- 13:02Speaker 1: ministry not working, and so on and so forth. And
- 13:05Speaker 1: then the third category are people who were never in
- 13:08Speaker 1: the fold from.
- 13:09Speaker 2: The first place.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Away together witchcraft an extra biblical practices that for you
- 13:17Speaker 1: to be able to capture the intent.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Of God.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Holy to his people, you must subscribe to the modus
- 13:26Speaker 1: operandi has provided and allowed by Scripture. The believer is
- 13:30Speaker 1: not just one who believes in Jesus. The believer is
- 13:34Speaker 1: one who has bound himself to the boundary of Scripture.
- 13:38Speaker 2: It is very very important.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Number four, the fourth sain that the body of Christ needs.
- 13:46Speaker 2: To be purged from.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Is spride vain glory and self centeredness?
- 13:56Speaker 2: Pride vain glory, self centeredness?
- 14:00Speaker 1: Yes, are we together? What is pride? Pride is their
- 14:05Speaker 1: shamemedness to acknowledge God and others as contributors to who
- 14:11Speaker 1: you are where you are. The moment you become uncomfortable
- 14:16Speaker 1: acknowledging God, the Bible says in Proverabs Chapter three and
- 14:19Speaker 1: verse five, he says, trust in the Lord with all
- 14:21Speaker 1: your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. A
- 14:25Speaker 1: wea together, he says, in all your ways, acknowledge Him,
- 14:28Speaker 1: and he shall direct your path. Verse six says a
- 14:33Speaker 1: Verse seven says, be not wise in your own understanding,
- 14:38Speaker 1: but fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Praise God.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Way before the scene of witchcraft, way before the scene
- 14:48Speaker 1: of immorality was the scene of pride. It's a very
- 14:51Speaker 1: old scene, very old scene pride. There are different levels
- 15:01Speaker 1: of pride. There is what the Bible calls the pride
- 15:04Speaker 1: of life. The pride of life is the self glorification.
- 15:09Speaker 1: You are caord yourself by reason of obvious results. If
- 15:13Speaker 1: you don't have obvious results, you can have pride but
- 15:16Speaker 1: not the pride of life. The pride of life is
- 15:19Speaker 1: based on ofvious results and achievements. When I entered in here,
- 15:25Speaker 1: Reverend Dan was asking people to celebrate me and calling
- 15:29Speaker 1: me all kinds of wonderful names. And I saw many
- 15:31Speaker 1: of you clapping, and I can imagine many of you
- 15:34Speaker 1: admiring that thing, and as wonderful and lovely as that is,
- 15:39Speaker 1: some of you that can become your drive in this kingdom.
- 15:43Speaker 1: God is not interested in celebrities. God is interested in ambassadors.
- 15:47Speaker 1: The difference between a celebrity Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.
- 15:51Speaker 1: The difference between a celebrity and an ambassador is purpose.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Everything we have and we in this kingdom does not
- 16:02Speaker 1: have a relevance in itself except it is connected to kingdom.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Come are we together, knowledge, revelation, beauty, whatever. The beauty
- 16:11Speaker 1: of Esther is useless until she can use that beauty
- 16:14Speaker 1: to get to the palace and save God's people. The
- 16:18Speaker 1: skill of Daniel is useless until he can use it
- 16:21Speaker 1: to accent the position of power and preserve the.
- 16:24Speaker 2: Purposes of God. Even in Babylon.
- 16:27Speaker 1: So in this kingdom, nothing is worth celebrating in itself
- 16:31Speaker 1: until we see how it.
- 16:32Speaker 2: Contributes to kingdom. Come, are we together?
- 16:35Speaker 1: You have to learn this God. There is a lot
- 16:36Speaker 1: of nonsense flying around, especially from women of God. We
- 16:40Speaker 1: make some of these mistakes sometimes, and we do not know.
- 16:45Speaker 2: Pride.
- 16:47Speaker 1: There are three indices to measure pride in a man's life.
- 16:50Speaker 1: Number one, we learn the first mistake from Elijah. I
- 16:54Speaker 1: am the only one. The moment you allow the devil
- 16:59Speaker 1: deceive you that you are the only one getting.
- 17:02Speaker 2: It right, you are already in pride.
- 17:05Speaker 1: It is impossible since the dispensation of the Holy Spirit.
- 17:10Speaker 1: There was never a time in any any you don't
- 17:14Speaker 1: read it from the Bible where there was such decadence
- 17:18Speaker 1: and only one person was found. No, you can find
- 17:20Speaker 1: that in the Old Testament. But since the Holy Spirit
- 17:24Speaker 1: was pulled upon all flesh. To believe that only one person,
- 17:28Speaker 1: or one church, or one man of God is getting
- 17:31Speaker 1: it right, it's an indictment on the ministry of the
- 17:34Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. It is impossible. Are we together now? Elijah
- 17:38Speaker 1: made that mistake, and he said, I am the only one.
- 17:41Speaker 1: No Obadayah had kept many others that he did not know.
- 17:46Speaker 1: So by the time you begin to convince yourself that
- 17:49Speaker 1: in any good or in southeast. I am the only
- 17:52Speaker 1: one getting it right, and it's a temptation that affects
- 17:55Speaker 1: all men. Chances are excellent that because of the bias
- 17:59Speaker 1: you have for words to communicate, you can't believe you
- 18:01Speaker 1: are the only ones getting it right. No, Remember, there
- 18:04Speaker 1: is another prophetess. She may not be seen, but she
- 18:08Speaker 1: is the reason why Jesus came. She prayed him down
- 18:11Speaker 1: quietly in the temple before Jesus was shown to other people.
- 18:15Speaker 2: There were two strange prophets hiding in the temple.
- 18:19Speaker 1: You can look at your YouTube and television and see
- 18:22Speaker 1: the Joshua salmons.
- 18:23Speaker 2: They are the ones you know. But they are not
- 18:25Speaker 2: the only ones there.
- 18:26Speaker 3: Far from it.
- 18:29Speaker 2: Far from it.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Let me tell you there are giants and warriors who
- 18:33Speaker 1: are nameless and faceless but are.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Doing so much.
- 18:36Speaker 1: In fact, it is because of some of these people
- 18:38Speaker 1: that we still stand. Are you You must, you must,
- 18:44Speaker 1: you must throw away pride and admit it.
- 18:47Speaker 2: It is the truth.
- 18:51Speaker 1: I've had the honor of meeting people as I travel
- 18:55Speaker 1: around the nations, and as I have the privilege of
- 18:58Speaker 1: talking with people, and my God Lord, you stand close
- 19:01Speaker 1: to these people, you can feel the people glory of
- 19:04Speaker 1: God a testament of genuine work with God. And sometimes
- 19:09Speaker 1: those people will come to you for prayer, and you
- 19:11Speaker 1: are wondering who should pray for whom, But you see
- 19:14Speaker 1: the spirit of pride will make you full of yourself.
- 19:18Speaker 1: The Bible says in Acts chapter eighteen about a man
- 19:21Speaker 1: called Apollos of Alexandria. The Bible tells us that this
- 19:26Speaker 1: man was eloquent in scripture.
- 19:28Speaker 2: He was faventing spirit.
- 19:29Speaker 1: He was taught the way of the Lord, but he
- 19:32Speaker 1: knew only the baptism of John.
- 19:35Speaker 2: You can be great, but you know only away together.
- 19:41Speaker 2: So because of the excellency of your.
- 19:43Speaker 1: Dispensing the dimension given to you, you can't believe that
- 19:48Speaker 1: you are the only one.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Who knows it all. It's impossible.
- 19:55Speaker 1: This revelation immediately helps you to be able to appreciate
- 19:59Speaker 1: the diversity in the body without being a shade. You
- 20:03Speaker 1: see that disunity is largely caused by pride.
- 20:08Speaker 2: Largely caused by pride.
- 20:10Speaker 1: The foundation for disunity of the body in any territory
- 20:15Speaker 1: is the concept of self righteousness and pride and even
- 20:21Speaker 1: vain glory.
- 20:29Speaker 2: So pride, venglory, and self centeredness.
- 20:32Speaker 1: Scene number five is God helping someone already The fifth
- 20:38Speaker 1: scene that I thought that needed to be purified from
- 20:40Speaker 1: the body of Christ is the sin of the tongue.
- 20:44Speaker 1: This includes everything the tongue can produce. Lying gossip, but
- 20:49Speaker 1: biting seeds of discord is a very deadly scene in
- 20:54Speaker 1: the body of Christ. You see most times we think
- 20:58Speaker 1: that these sins do not carry any effecting the realm
- 21:00Speaker 1: of the spirit. If you gossip and backbite, it won't
- 21:04Speaker 1: get a woman pregnant. If you gossip and back bite,
- 21:07Speaker 1: it will not give somebody HIV. So you can easily
- 21:10Speaker 1: think you are free or standing in a position of
- 21:13Speaker 1: righteousness because there are other scenes that seem to carry
- 21:16Speaker 1: of yours physical consequences.
- 21:18Speaker 2: But it is a deadly sin. Away together.
- 21:23Speaker 1: Yeah, there are people in the body of Christ in
- 21:26Speaker 1: Nigeria and Africa and around the world who just join
- 21:30Speaker 1: the heads of people together and stand back and watch
- 21:33Speaker 1: people churches men of God. In every region. You will
- 21:36Speaker 1: find people like this, and it ought not to be so.
- 21:39Speaker 1: How about lies? We lie a lot as men of God.
- 21:43Speaker 1: We have to pray that God will show us messy.
- 21:45Speaker 1: We lie with stories, we exaggerate miracles, we say things
- 21:49Speaker 1: that did not happen. Areway together. Many years ago, are
- 21:53Speaker 1: not to be sarcastic. I remember, yes, quite a long
- 21:56Speaker 1: time a man of God who was, you know, preach
- 22:00Speaker 1: and quite you know, an elderly man, and so you
- 22:03Speaker 1: would not expect that kind of life. You can expect
- 22:05Speaker 1: that from young people, but not from someone who is
- 22:07Speaker 1: a veteran in the gospel. And he said someone was paralyzed.
- 22:11Speaker 1: Of course, I know we're since here. It doesn't mean
- 22:13Speaker 1: we're just men. And that's why we need messy away together.
- 22:18Speaker 1: And I remember him making a statement like someone was
- 22:21Speaker 1: paralyzed who was brought to him, and he healed one leg,
- 22:24Speaker 1: he healed the other leg, he healed the other hand,
- 22:26Speaker 1: and he said he will leave the other hand and
- 22:28Speaker 1: the neck until he's ready to receive Jesus.
- 22:30Speaker 2: And you know it's not true. It's not true. It's
- 22:37Speaker 2: not to be sarcastic. But it's not true. Let's be honest.
- 22:39Speaker 2: It's not true. But you see, even God understand.
- 22:43Speaker 1: So God, if God tolerates us with all our nonsense,
- 22:46Speaker 1: why should we not be able to tolerate others. It's
- 22:50Speaker 1: not true. You are spiritual, you know the truth where
- 22:52Speaker 1: you hear it. So we need the messy of God.
- 22:57Speaker 1: I did say at the end of that teaching, that
- 23:00Speaker 1: at the end of that teaching, all of us who
- 23:02Speaker 1: need the blood of Jesus. That's how you would know
- 23:05Speaker 1: that the spirit of God came to purify. Because nobody
- 23:07Speaker 1: stands out different. Everybody will have cause to cry before
- 23:12Speaker 1: human say, Lord, show me messing. Lying is not good,
- 23:17Speaker 1: but it's a weakness in men. Are we together lying, gossiping, backbiting,
- 23:25Speaker 1: sowing seeds of discord. It's dangerous, the sin of the tongue.
- 23:31Speaker 1: He said, Let the words of my mouth and the
- 23:33Speaker 1: meditation of my heart be acceptable, be acceptable, be acceptable.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Scene number six that we discussed was competition and on
- 23:48Speaker 1: healthy comparison. The spirit of competition and on healthy comparison.
- 23:56Speaker 1: It's a dangerous scene that must be eroded from the
- 23:59Speaker 1: body of Christ. Competition, the Bible says, and they comparing
- 24:06Speaker 1: themselves with themselves are not wise, and there are many
- 24:11Speaker 1: people who do that unconsciously. Competition it ought not to be.
- 24:16Speaker 1: And the seventh scene that I spoke about is the
- 24:20Speaker 1: sin of imbalance, the inability to embrace the.
- 24:23Speaker 2: Whole counsel of God.
- 24:32Speaker 1: No single dimension of God captures all of Him, no
- 24:39Speaker 1: matter how accurate and aligned you are. It is not
- 24:42Speaker 1: given to you as an individual to capture and reveal
- 24:45Speaker 1: all the dimensions of God. It then renders every other
- 24:49Speaker 1: ministry in the body useless. So God, by himself, will
- 24:52Speaker 1: limit your access. You will be a beneficiary of all
- 24:57Speaker 1: the dimensions of God, but not from you. You will
- 25:00Speaker 1: have to depend on other supplies that the body provides
- 25:04Speaker 1: for your completeness.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 25:06Speaker 3: Now?
- 25:07Speaker 2: It's very very important.
- 25:10Speaker 1: No matter how annointed, no matter how great, no matter
- 25:14Speaker 1: how sincere Bennie Hin is Benniehill will never be able
- 25:20Speaker 1: to accurately teach you on marriage, relationship and family life
- 25:25Speaker 1: the way someone who is called into that area will do.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Now. It doesn't mean.
- 25:29Speaker 1: He's ignorant, but it's just not specified in his job description.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 25:35Speaker 1: You can learn from him, But if you ignore the
- 25:38Speaker 1: person's call to operate in that dimension, you will miss
- 25:41Speaker 1: out in so many areas imbalance. One aspect of imbalance
- 25:53Speaker 1: is exaggerating truth beyond its scope of relevance.
- 26:00Speaker 2: Always give the example of cooking.
- 26:05Speaker 1: If you carry If you fetch one module of rice
- 26:10Speaker 1: and you fetch one mod of salt and mix them
- 26:13Speaker 1: in the pot, did you cook well? But is salt needed,
- 26:17Speaker 1: but not to the quantity of the rise.
- 26:20Speaker 2: Is that true? That's right.
- 26:22Speaker 1: So the truth in scripture are all important, but they
- 26:26Speaker 1: have their dimensions and their jurisdiction of relevance.
- 26:30Speaker 2: And if you.
- 26:31Speaker 1: Strench those truth beyond the proportion that should be, is
- 26:36Speaker 1: going to cause a serious, colossal damage, even to the
- 26:40Speaker 1: Body of Christ.
- 26:42Speaker 2: Allelujah.
- 26:43Speaker 1: We must embrace the whole counsel of God. If you
- 26:48Speaker 1: embrace consecration and holiness and purity, but you ignore excellence
- 26:55Speaker 1: and administration and financial prosperity, that dimension.
- 26:59Speaker 2: You nod will be the gates that will allow the
- 27:02Speaker 2: devil to haunt you in the future.
- 27:04Speaker 1: If you embrace excellence and administration and mental transformation and
- 27:09Speaker 1: you leave away consecration and prayer, you're going to get
- 27:12Speaker 1: into trouble.
- 27:13Speaker 2: You can duild a business, and.
- 27:15Speaker 1: One demonic attack like the flood of Noah, can wipe
- 27:18Speaker 1: everything away away together. So you see that most of
- 27:23Speaker 1: the problems in the Body of Christ is not ignorance.
- 27:28Speaker 1: It is imbalance, the inability to bring and peace together
- 27:34Speaker 1: the various components.
- 27:36Speaker 2: Of spiritual truth as it is needed.
- 27:39Speaker 1: So, for instance, someone who has been called into the
- 27:42Speaker 1: area of say Kingdom wealth, finances, prosperity, mental development, administration.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Chances are excellent that that person may not easily have
- 27:53Speaker 1: a rich prayer and world life like someone who is
- 27:56Speaker 1: calling to the prophetic ministry.
- 27:58Speaker 2: It is up to that man now to admit.
- 28:01Speaker 1: The grace that was given to that orther and add
- 28:03Speaker 1: to his spiritual experience to balance it all. But if
- 28:07Speaker 1: I'm getting results, and i am rich, and I'm having
- 28:09Speaker 1: casts and businesses around the world, I can look at
- 28:12Speaker 1: the prayer warrior and say, oh dear, this.
- 28:15Speaker 2: Frustrated and suffering people.
- 28:17Speaker 1: The only demon is just the one in your mind.
- 28:19Speaker 1: You see those statements already. Naturally, the effect of that
- 28:24Speaker 1: kind of imbalances everybody under your mentorship will be an
- 28:28Speaker 1: acceleration of that imbalance.
- 28:32Speaker 2: Are way together now? Yes?
- 28:34Speaker 1: If I stand here and hate all the men of
- 28:37Speaker 1: God in enogod state and now begin to point fingers
- 28:40Speaker 1: and say forget about this one, everybody who loves me
- 28:43Speaker 1: and believes in me will be forced to follow that part.
- 28:45Speaker 1: It's like politics. If a politician comes and says, don't
- 28:49Speaker 1: like this person, the people who are loyal to him
- 28:52Speaker 1: will follow suit. It's the same principle.
- 28:56Speaker 2: Is someone learning now.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Yes, But if I come and I said, God has
- 29:01Speaker 1: granted you the grace for prayer and intercession.
- 29:04Speaker 2: Even though I have prospered, I see that.
- 29:07Speaker 1: I'm not excelling in that dimension what God wants me
- 29:09Speaker 1: to be entire. So which humility and honor I recognize
- 29:13Speaker 1: and acknowledge you as carrying that grace. Honor is the
- 29:17Speaker 1: key for access. And you with a prayer warrior. But
- 29:19Speaker 1: you are broken and poor, and you are not going anywhere.
- 29:22Speaker 1: So you also will you get what I'm saying. Now, Yes,
- 29:26Speaker 1: you're a prayer warrior, but to travel and carry your
- 29:29Speaker 1: family from one location to the other, you have to
- 29:31Speaker 1: pray and fast to get there.
- 29:33Speaker 2: That's not the purpose of fasting.
- 29:34Speaker 1: You just need to access the knowledge for well that
- 29:37Speaker 1: saves you all that drama. Now, if you don't recognize
- 29:40Speaker 1: that other person's ministry, you will continue to bodying yourself
- 29:44Speaker 1: with things that are not the keys for that door.
- 29:49Speaker 1: The body of Christ must grow to maturity, to a
- 29:53Speaker 1: place of mutual honor, for the diversities of grace is
- 29:56Speaker 1: scattered within the body, and which humility is See those
- 30:00Speaker 1: graces away together you can look at a man of
- 30:04Speaker 1: God and see how much he has opened to receive
- 30:08Speaker 1: the diverse graces in the Body of Christ by how
- 30:11Speaker 1: complete and balanced and entire he or she is. So if,
- 30:17Speaker 1: for instance, you see me come here and you find
- 30:21Speaker 1: out that I love the Lord sincerely, but then you
- 30:25Speaker 1: see that maybe I don't seem to value the ministry
- 30:29Speaker 1: of prayer, Immediately it tells you the area where I've
- 30:33Speaker 1: not opened up my spirit to tap into that grace.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Or you can be a world giant, you can be
- 30:38Speaker 1: a prayer warrior, but there is no character whatsoever, no
- 30:42Speaker 1: honor to fathers, no honor to people.
- 30:45Speaker 2: You are the God of yourself.
- 30:47Speaker 1: Immediately you will know that there is a dimension of
- 30:49Speaker 1: grace given to somebody in the Body for my benefit
- 30:53Speaker 1: that I have ignored.
- 30:57Speaker 2: I'm saying this.
- 30:58Speaker 1: Especially for younger minutes as God is raising as many
- 31:01Speaker 1: who are here. Do not get into that deception of
- 31:06Speaker 1: antagonizing people. No no, no, no, no, no no no no,
- 31:09Speaker 1: you do that, you are already dead on arrival. I
- 31:11Speaker 1: can assure you, Allelujah. Some of the people who have
- 31:18Speaker 1: prayed for me and imparted several graces upon my life
- 31:22Speaker 1: are not even popular people.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Some of them are ordinary people. Some of them are mothers.
- 31:27Speaker 2: A mother with.
- 31:28Speaker 1: Twelve children who are well behaved, you think that is
- 31:31Speaker 1: just motherhood.
- 31:32Speaker 2: There is an anointing on that woman to.
- 31:35Speaker 1: Raise seven boys and five girls, and none of them
- 31:39Speaker 1: is a thief. All of them are leaders. Now, you
- 31:44Speaker 1: would be foolish to imagine she was just a lucky mother.
- 31:47Speaker 1: You can tap into that grace and say, I am
- 31:50Speaker 1: a man of God and I want well behaved members.
- 31:53Speaker 1: And with honor, she can release that grace upon you,
- 31:56Speaker 1: and you will find out that the lapse of stubborn
- 32:00Speaker 1: because you have honored that dimension, Heaven will back it.
- 32:06Speaker 1: This honor closes the access to receive so many things.
- 32:10Speaker 1: Many people today are poor and broke because they have
- 32:15Speaker 1: downplayed the relevance and the power of prosperity and wealth
- 32:20Speaker 1: in the wellbeing of your life and kingdom advance to
- 32:22Speaker 1: their detriment. Are we together now, Yeah. Many people are
- 32:27Speaker 1: weak spiritually today because every time they see people engage
- 32:32Speaker 1: in the ministry of prayer for their edification and transformation,
- 32:35Speaker 1: they just say, don't mind these guys, These are just
- 32:38Speaker 1: ignorant fanatics, These are.
- 32:39Speaker 2: Just young boys.
- 32:40Speaker 1: Unfortunately, you see, this is a battle in the body
- 32:45Speaker 1: of Christ where there will be no winner until we
- 32:53Speaker 1: get to a point where we accept and admit. See,
- 32:58Speaker 1: most times, let me tell you the truth to confession.
- 33:01Speaker 1: When I travel to many regions because of the joy
- 33:05Speaker 1: of hoping that I'm coming, you know, people are around,
- 33:08Speaker 1: and people do all kinds of wonderful things just to
- 33:11Speaker 1: appreciate what they believe God is doing.
- 33:13Speaker 2: In my life. And sometimes when.
- 33:16Speaker 1: I get to those meetings, I see several pastors, veterans
- 33:20Speaker 1: of the gospel within that place, and some of them
- 33:23Speaker 1: you can see that they're sincere people. But you can
- 33:27Speaker 1: see that thing, you know, it just looks like, well,
- 33:29Speaker 1: we are not really doing anything. You are the one
- 33:31Speaker 1: who is. You are the man of God who have
- 33:33Speaker 1: come to honor you. I am always very quick to
- 33:36Speaker 1: let them know that it has never and will never
- 33:40Speaker 1: be my drive.
- 33:41Speaker 2: You will never see me do that.
- 33:42Speaker 1: I will never come into a city and downplay the
- 33:46Speaker 1: presence of the grace is.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Can I tell you please look at me.
- 33:48Speaker 1: Every one of you seated here who is serving God
- 33:51Speaker 1: in any capacity, from your small prayer group of twelve people,
- 33:55Speaker 1: to your little.
- 33:56Speaker 2: Church of whatever, to the giant church.
- 33:59Speaker 1: All together, we are contributors to making this thing happen.
- 34:04Speaker 2: And it is important for us to recognize it.
- 34:08Speaker 1: This is why I honor your fathers of faith with
- 34:11Speaker 1: all my life within this region. Because these are people
- 34:14Speaker 1: who have been veterans in the gospel. Many of them
- 34:18Speaker 1: have been in the ministry of the Gospel before some
- 34:20Speaker 1: of us were born. And yet they are able to
- 34:23Speaker 1: take away that.
- 34:26Speaker 2: Justifiably.
- 34:28Speaker 1: Even if they don't attend to us as their sons,
- 34:30Speaker 1: they are justified by reason of their track record. And
- 34:33Speaker 1: yet they took down to do some of the things
- 34:35Speaker 1: that they do. Are we together. There are many people
- 34:41Speaker 1: who come to meet me, some of them campost people,
- 34:44Speaker 1: some of them young ministers who are just starting. And
- 34:47Speaker 1: you know, they come to me and they say, well, Apostle,
- 34:49Speaker 1: we are just here.
- 34:50Speaker 2: And I said, don't do that. Honor me, thank God
- 34:53Speaker 2: for it, but not at the detriment.
- 34:54Speaker 1: Of the grace of God upon your life. God is
- 34:57Speaker 1: raising you and you are mighty bad to acts.
- 35:00Speaker 2: Never lose that confidence.
- 35:03Speaker 1: If I have to make you give up your confidence
- 35:05Speaker 1: and what the Holy Spirit is doing to show me honor,
- 35:08Speaker 1: I'm deceiving you.
- 35:09Speaker 4: Now.
- 35:11Speaker 1: There are many greater than Joshua Selman's coming on. There
- 35:14Speaker 1: are many people who are being walked upon by the spirit.
- 35:18Speaker 1: My goodness, I have met people in this body of Christ.
- 35:20Speaker 1: By forget the decadence that you see happening. The kind
- 35:24Speaker 1: of army God is preparing these people would not be
- 35:27Speaker 1: like ordinary human beings.
- 35:29Speaker 2: And the earlier we honor them.
- 35:31Speaker 1: When you see people rising and you look down on
- 35:34Speaker 1: them and they still.
- 35:35Speaker 2: Rise, you are in trouble. Are we together?
- 35:43Speaker 1: I'm saying this maybe somebody here, maybe a campus fellowship president,
- 35:47Speaker 1: maybe you're a pastor.
- 35:48Speaker 2: Once you see God.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Helping people under your care, don't kill them, guide them,
- 35:55Speaker 1: guide them?
- 35:57Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 36:00Speaker 1: When I sit with any of the Fathers and I'm
- 36:02Speaker 1: listening to them, I don't go as a man of
- 36:04Speaker 1: God and I say, okay, talk to me no, with
- 36:07Speaker 1: my heart open and sincere before God, because there are
- 36:11Speaker 1: many things I do not know.
- 36:13Speaker 2: It is not the man of God just trying to
- 36:15Speaker 2: be humble. It is the truth. Are we together? Seven dead? Listen?
- 36:33Speaker 1: So these are the things that I shared. You want
- 36:36Speaker 1: to go and get the teaching the Purified Church. Please
- 36:38Speaker 1: get it, Listen to it and let it bless you.
- 36:42Speaker 1: You can use it for your retreat and you trust
- 36:46Speaker 1: God to help you in Jesus' name.
- 36:49Speaker 2: We're going to pray this morning.
- 36:54Speaker 1: If you don't love prayer, here is your chance to
- 36:56Speaker 1: receive that grace in the name of Jesus. But it's important,
- 36:59Speaker 1: just like we have said, we should take some time
- 37:02Speaker 1: at least to pray and trust God for the grace to.
- 37:05Speaker 2: Stretch a bit.
- 37:07Speaker 1: It's going to be a very simple charge this morning,
- 37:10Speaker 1: and my focus is on ministry, ministers of the Gospel,
- 37:17Speaker 1: even though it is for everyone. Remember I told you
- 37:20Speaker 1: that part of any apostolic conference like this is the
- 37:25Speaker 1: strengthening of the ministers.
- 37:29Speaker 2: The average person.
- 37:30Speaker 1: In Enugu and the Southeast will be a reflection of
- 37:32Speaker 1: the quality of spiritual voices that mental and train them.
- 37:36Speaker 2: Allelujah.
- 37:37Speaker 1: If there is a general laxity to spiritual things, the
- 37:40Speaker 1: spiritual voices within the land are to be blamed. The
- 37:46Speaker 1: men and women of God within any territory are responsible
- 37:50Speaker 1: for institutionalizing God consciousness and passion for.
- 37:55Speaker 2: The things of God.
- 37:58Speaker 1: For every one of you see here, there are some
- 38:01Speaker 1: of you who represent one thousand members, five hundred members,
- 38:05Speaker 1: two hundred members, some of you represent ten, twenty to
- 38:09Speaker 1: fifty leaders who are also captains over others. So talking
- 38:13Speaker 1: to you is talking to the city a way together.
- 38:16Speaker 1: When Jesus was talking to twelve men, he knew that
- 38:19Speaker 1: he was not just talking to twelve human beings.
- 38:22Speaker 2: He was talking to people.
- 38:23Speaker 1: Who were independent systems, and they carried those ideologists and
- 38:28Speaker 1: perpetrated those ideologists across the lands. So it is very
- 38:33Speaker 1: very important for us to understand this mystery and the
- 38:38Speaker 1: Lord who grant us grace in Jesus' name, every once
- 38:41Speaker 1: in a while, I'm going to ask us to pray,
- 38:43Speaker 1: and I hope that.
- 38:44Speaker 2: We do not mind.
- 38:46Speaker 1: The Lord will help us in Jesus' name. Allelujah. Let's
- 38:51Speaker 1: pray in the spirit for at least a few minutes,
- 38:54Speaker 1: and then.
- 38:55Speaker 2: I will charge our hearts.
- 38:57Speaker 1: And then we will pray again, and then I will
- 39:01Speaker 1: charge our hearts. Hello Madonna, shaprand casca, bracatos, calabrata, barriatosti braga.

- 45:43Speaker 1: The primary assignment of prayer, it's not for receiving petitions.
- 45:51Speaker 2: No.
- 45:52Speaker 1: The primary assignment of prayer is found in Luke, chapter
- 45:56Speaker 1: nine and verse twenty nine. The Bible says, and as
- 46:01Speaker 1: he prayed, the version of his countenance was altered, and his.
- 46:07Speaker 2: Raiment became white and glisering.
- 46:10Speaker 1: That means prayer is a spiritual mechanism that helps you
- 46:15Speaker 1: evolve to superior spiritual dimensions of yourself. Are we together
- 46:19Speaker 1: that when you submit yourself with understanding.
- 46:23Speaker 2: To the ministry of prayer, among the many things that.
- 46:26Speaker 1: Happen to you is an energizing You are activating and
- 46:30Speaker 1: expanding your capacity in the spirit.
- 46:32Speaker 2: We're still going to pray for a few more minutes.
- 46:34Speaker 1: You are not wasting your time because you see, the
- 46:39Speaker 1: amount of oil that you carry that works for you
- 46:43Speaker 1: will be directly related to the capacity of the vessel
- 46:48Speaker 1: carrying it. If it is a little cruise of oil,
- 46:51Speaker 1: then you will find out that you will short change
- 46:53Speaker 1: the potential of the grace that works within you. So
- 46:57Speaker 1: as we prayed forget not looking around, focus on Jesus.
- 47:01Speaker 1: And for some of you while you are praying, what
- 47:03Speaker 1: is happening to you is an importation of the grace.
- 47:07Speaker 1: The spirit of prayer and supplication is not just something
- 47:11Speaker 1: that is mechanical.
- 47:12Speaker 2: If that grace is not upon you, you will struggle
- 47:15Speaker 2: and struggle. Indeed, for some of you, you need to shift.
- 47:18Speaker 1: This dimension of grace and add it to your assemblies.
- 47:22Speaker 1: That in addition to what God has helped you to do,
- 47:25Speaker 1: you need to add to this. The Bible says add
- 47:27Speaker 1: to your faith. This add to this, this, go ahead

- 1:15:04Speaker 1: This is one of the ways we preserve the heritage
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: of the Spirit within a territory. I have taught you
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: this in one of the conferences, that there are many
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: ways we preserve revivals and the move of God. We
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: must be able to capture and preserve the program of
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: God as assigned to a territory.
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: Allelujah, prays the name of.
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: Sometimes you do not plan to take it this way,
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: but the Spirit of God just comes in a way
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: that we have to submit to His wisdom and his dealings.
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: Where people of excellence and organization, but not at the
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: detriment of the lordship of the Spirit is called the
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: Lord of Host. So when he comes, we submit to
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: what he is doing so that he can make, so
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: that he can build. In the name of Jesus, that gentleman,
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: from where you are the second role that one. Yes, no,
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: you don't have to talk to him. I'm just praying
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: for him. In the name of Jesus. You are entering
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: a season of proning in the spirit, and from that
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: proning will come the birth of something mighty and precious
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: in the Spirit.
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: I'm praying for you that in the name of Jesus Christ,
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: you will step.
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: Into a new level of intimacy with the Holy Spirit,
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: virgin dimensions in the spirit. God will bring you into
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: those realms and you will begin to walk in power
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: and christ like never before. In the name of Jesus Christ.
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: What is ministry, Let me just charge our hearts. What
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: exactly is ministry? Because many people say, I am.
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: A minister, a music minister, a minister of the gospel.
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: I am a deacon, I am an usher, I am
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: an apostle, a prophet, a teacher.
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: So we say we are in.
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: Ministry, but what exactly is ministry? I wanted to listen
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: very carefully.
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: Colossian chapter four and verse seventeen.
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: Paul was speaking to his son in the Gospel Aquipos,
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: and he said, say, onto occupas, that you take charge
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: of the ministry that you have received in.
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: The Lord, that Tao fulfill it. Take charge.
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: You have received a ministry not from the Lord, in
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: the Lord. And he says that you ensure that Tao
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: fulfill it. All over the world there are several people
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: who want to be used by God. And we have
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: captioned the experience where a man is used by God
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: God to serve his.
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: Purposes as ministry.
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: And we are right, except for the fact that most
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: people have no idea whatsoever. Mine is just to help
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: us and for some of us maybe refresh our minds
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: and for some of us to add a new concept
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: and an idea of ministry from a biblical standpoint. Praise God, okay, sorry,
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: and maybe the battery also just help maybe the volume. Now,
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: so several people talk about ministry. The first thing I
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: wanted to know, please look up. Ministry has nothing to
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: do with a pulpit. Ministry has nothing to do with
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: holding a mic. Necessarily, Ministry has nothing to do with
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: it a man standing before people to speak to them.
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: Those are only tools that help you to do ministry.
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: Ministry has nothing to do with a congregation a church.
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: Ministry has nothing to do with a title and apostle, profet, teacher, music, minister.
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: Samist, whatever it is.
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: If you do not understand this concept of ministry, you
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: will already miss it away together. According to scripture, ministry
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: is defined by two indices. Number one your motivation and
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: number two the goal. What qualifies any spiritual activity to
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: be called ministry is number one the motivation that sponsor
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: that activity, and number two the intent or the goal.
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: Please write it and don't forget. So you do not
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: define ministry, thank you. You do not define ministry by
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: the activity. For many believers, we define ministry by the activity.
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: So I'm standing behind a pulpit right now and talking
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: to a people who are glending media attention, and we
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: believe that that is ministry not necessarily.
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: Is it possible to not have a pulpit and not
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: have a congregation and still be in ministry.
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: Is it possible to not raise one sound in singing
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: and still be in ministry. I'm helping to redefine our
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: concept and our idea as to the concept of ministry.
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: So I said that ministry is measured by two biblical indices.
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: Number one, your heart, the motivation behind what you are doing,
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: and number two the goal.
- 1:20:48Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: Never forget that, according to Scripture, any activity qualifies to
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: be called ministry if the motivation is your love for
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: Jesus and your desire to see him glorify. Please write
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: it down any activity whatsoever who refines to be called
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: ministry to the degree to which it is motivated by
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: your sincere love for Jesus and intender to reveal and
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: glorify him.
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: So you're preaching only becomes ministry.
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: If you're standing on this fool pit is motivated by
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: your love for Jesus and is intended to reveal him.
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: Your singing only becomes ministry if it was motivated by
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: your love for Jesus and intended.
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: To reveal him.
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: You can be a musician, but not a minister. You
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: can be a preacher or a communicator and not a minister.
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: Sadly and unfortunately, ladies and gentlemen, there are many.
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: People around the Christian circles who are not a ministry.
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: They are in spiritual activities, well intentioned activities, but not ministry.
- 1:22:07Speaker 2: When we check it.
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: Using the indices of Scripture, it does not plass the test.
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: Your heart and your motivation are we together? There are
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: many people You've heard me say this, and I will
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: say it until Jesus comes. There are many people who
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: got into what we know as ministry because of frustration.
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: Every other aspect in their life did not seem to work,
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: and they just feel, well, since everything is not working,
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: let's just go to let you know, get some church
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: or get something and start ministry. Do you know why
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: your motive is important? Because your motive is also your
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: staying power. Whatever motivates you to get into this spiritual adventure.
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: Becomes that which sponsors you through it.
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: If your motivation is money or fame, or your motivation
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: is to be a celebrity or to be one who
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: is appreciated and celebrated across the world, you see the
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: life span of your efficiency will be until that goal
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: is achieved.
- 1:23:14Speaker 2: The moment the goal is achieved, there will be.
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: No fire and impetus to push for that again, are
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: we together now? When our fathers got into ministry, their
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: motivation was not most of the things that motivate us,
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: you know, the younger generation now, Their motivation for many
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: of them was sincere love for God. In fact, many
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: of them would tell you they fought the call of
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: God upon their lives and ran away. They ran away
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: until God dealt with them, and they came and finally surrendered.
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: But for us, even without callin us, we run to him,
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: which makes it suspicious.
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: There was something the father saw. They saw the enormity
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: of the sacrifice and the demands. They knew it.
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: Would cost them, and that's why they ran away. Is
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: that when Jesus came and began to call on the disciples,
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: you see the speed with which they followed him. They
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: did not follow him because they loved him. Who will
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: not follow his celebrity Someone who shows up in town
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: and is healing the sick, He's turning lives around. I
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: will want to be part of that team that works.
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: So many of them came and became his disciples. You
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: would notice that eventually, when Jesus troubled the entire Roman government,
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: the disciples started having problems among themselves who was the greatest.
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: They started murmuring among themselves, we don't understand what this
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: man is doing.
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: It's like there is no court for us in this thing.
- 1:24:41Speaker 14: He's just the one.
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: Shining alone, and we are following and helping him. And
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: they got angry one day and someone courage to add
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: Jesus instead, we have left all to follow you.
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: We won't hide it again. It will not be a rumor.
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: We have left all to follow you.
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: What is our court in And Jesus looked at them
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: with compassion, but discigning their intent, and he said, no
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: man who has left cars, houses, mother, father, for me
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: and for the kingdoms. He said, what he will receive
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: in this life, this and that and that and in
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: the life to come, life eternal. Many people get into
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: ministry today for wrong motives.
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: Some of the motives may be sincere.
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: There are others who get into ministry because they are
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: a group of friends, and everybody there was called, so
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: they naturally feel since we pray together and must be
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: a minister too. There are people who get into ministry
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: because they are frustrated and they feel like things have
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: not worked, and so let me justify my value by
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: getting into ministry. Others get into ministry because they hear
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: that they give men of God honorarium and they can
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: bless them.
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: One person can come and carry an suv and give you.
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: One person can give you building, while label to pack
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: and accumulate the money, force men and Sharpsand when I
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: can be in ministry and in a moment, someone can
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: give me a duplex or give me a mansion. And
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: some of this corrupted motif please look up, is the
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: reason why many people are not dedicated to the work
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: of the ministry.
- 1:26:22Speaker 2: Do you know why? Because they have nothing to lose.
- 1:26:25Speaker 2: It was a tool they were going to use for themselves.
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: It was never about God. Are we together?
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: When I am not passionate about something and I do
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: not see the relevance of that activity, I don't fear
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: losing it, Are we together?
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: The absence of dedication.
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: In ministry tells you the motive was corrupted from beginning,
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: because when you understand that plea is about the will
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: of God and that which pleases the heart of the Father.
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: And brings him glory. For you, it becomes a serious issue.
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: It's no longer an issue of convenience.
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: You will bend and stretch and inconvenience yourself with honor,
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: knowing the motivation behind it. When I started my work
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: with God, you've heard me, and I will continue to
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: tell you this. I had no again with God whatsoever.
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: If you do this, I will do this. If you
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: do that, it was a blind hunger and a pursuit
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: for him. In fact, the pursuit was not even for ministry.
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: The pursuit was to love him genuinely. Oh, I can
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: dwell on this issue of loving God. Ladies and gentlemen,
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: prayer warriors.
- 1:27:39Speaker 2: Men of power, you will.
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: Never access certain levels of spiritual power and grace no
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: matter how long you first and pray. You've heard me
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: say your love for God vetos, your prayer life fetos,
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: your fast in life fetos, every other thing you can
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: perform correct spiritual activities from a corrupted motive.
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: Love for Jesus. I submit to you that.
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: Up until today and for as long as I leave,
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: there is absolutely nothing that would take his place.
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: In my heart. Are we together? If there is one
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: secret about my life. I can tell you. Second only
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: to the mercy of God is my love for Him.
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: Ask Him, Ask him. There is a rem where prayer
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: warriors cannot go beyond. There is a rem where firsting
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: giants cannot go beyond beyond that rem.
- 1:28:41Speaker 2: It is a love affair.
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: Nor eye has seen, nor ear has heard, neither has
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: it been revealed to any man what God has in store.
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: For them that love him.
- 1:28:57Speaker 3: Nothing in this world concern is for.
- 1:29:03Speaker 14: Jesus.
- 1:29:04Speaker 1: You're the calm, the moon, run drive, treasure of my
- 1:29:11Speaker 1: heart and love my soul.
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: It's in my weakness.
- 1:29:17Speaker 3: You were merciful.
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: Redeemer of my past and present. Wrong, You're the honer
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: of my future days to come.
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: I will lose.
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: Ministry eight thousand times, close down everything that I'm doing today,
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: and I stand before the God of Heaven to tell
- 1:29:48Speaker 1: you that, cancel every ministration and return back and sit down.
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: If that would be the proof of my love for Jesus,
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: say believe me. I have taught you a few principles,
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: but I don't claim to know everything. But there are
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: a few things I know, and I can tell you.
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: One of them is the protocol of God's presence and power.
- 1:30:15Speaker 2: Activity never leads you to his power. It is a relationship.
- 1:30:22Speaker 2: Activities are only valuable if they become tools that transports you.
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: The business of power and the business of relevance is
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: a business of relationship.
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: You see when you come to a native doctor, please
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: look at me.
- 1:30:38Speaker 1: When you come to a native doctor and you're telling
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: my one power for whatever, a native doctor does not
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: need to know your name. A native doctor is not
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: interested in relationship. He just tells you, what do you want?
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: I want to win this election. And he says, okay.
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: Let me ask the gods what will be the requirement,
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: and they say okay, they've answered me.
- 1:30:59Speaker 2: Go and bring two goods.
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: Is that room, Go and bring one bag of millet,
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: add one hundred thousand, bring my own honor radiom.
- 1:31:08Speaker 2: As you are coming, he does not care. You don't
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: even need to know his name. In fact, you don't
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: even know that need to.
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: Know the location, because that zone of result is governed
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: by activity.
- 1:31:21Speaker 2: But when you come to God and say Lord, I
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: want power, he pushes your hand away and says, this
- 1:31:27Speaker 2: is the secret to my power. My heart, my son,
- 1:31:33Speaker 2: give me your heart.
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: Many of you have given him your prayer life wonderful,
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: but that is not enough. Many of you have given
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: him your ability to fast wonderful, but that is not enough.
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: Many of you have given him dedication in Bible study.
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: Loving God is more than reading your Bible. Loving God
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: is more than being diligent to pray. Loving God is
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: more than and denying yourself the pleasures of this world.
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: You can do all of that and yet not love God.
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: Someone learning now, Yes.
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: The foundation for ministry is not just learning church growth principles.
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: As powerful as they are, I do not downplay them.
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: But everything in this kingdom is powered by your love
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: for Jesus, not just your love for God.
- 1:32:28Speaker 2: Because God can mean anything, including yourself.
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: The one factor that most people have missed out is
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: that there is there is a severe level of corruption
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: in their motivation. What has led many people to climb
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: the pulpit, what has led many people to work albums,
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: what has led many people to set up prayer groups,
- 1:32:55Speaker 1: what has led many people for various shades of motivation.
- 1:33:01Speaker 1: But I'm bringing your mind to that one aspect that
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: if it goes wrong, nothing else you.
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: Are doing will mean anything to God. Again, love.
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: It looks like a very simple principle that is why
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: you find out. You can go for a charge group
- 1:33:19Speaker 1: conference and learn every principle. They can tell you pray,
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: you will pray. They can tell you first you will fast.
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: They can tell you study, you will study. They can
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: tell you you know evangelism, and you will do everything,
- 1:33:32Speaker 1: and still it does not work. It's like buying a
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: beautiful clock and not finding the battery that powers it.
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: You will hang the clock and get angrab and say no,
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: the clock is not working. Then you will go and
- 1:33:47Speaker 1: buy a more expensive clock, still without battery. Then you
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: will go and buy a giant standing clock, still without battery.
- 1:33:57Speaker 2: I wonder what is making it not work?
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: What you bought is wonderful. But the battery that powers
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: it is not prayer. The battery that powers it, I repeat,
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: is not fasting. It's not Bible study. The battery that
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: powers it is love.
- 1:34:14Speaker 2: The senit of your relationship with Jesus Christ is not knowledge.
- 1:34:18Speaker 2: Is love? Are we together?
- 1:34:22Speaker 15: I wouldn't trade you for silver or gold. I wouldn't
- 1:34:30Speaker 15: trade you for riches.
- 1:34:33Speaker 3: Onto you are. You are my everything.
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: You know with all humility. People meet me all the
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: time and they say, appos, what is the secret.
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: I've done everything I know to do, have been since here,
- 1:34:54Speaker 2: and sometimes I look at them and I know they're right.
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: They're like the rich man who came to Jesus, Good Master,
- 1:35:02Speaker 1: What do I do to inherit internal life? He said,
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: And Jesus said, do this and that, And he said,
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: I've done that from my youth. And he said this
- 1:35:10Speaker 1: one thing, dou lackest, He said, go and sell all
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: you have. Most of you think the language of love
- 1:35:17Speaker 1: is just the language of affection. The language of love
- 1:35:21Speaker 1: is beyond affection. The language of love is the language
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: of death. It is the language of sacrifice. Your love
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: is not authentic till death becomes part of it.
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: I went together.
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: When you say I love you, Lord, for many of
- 1:35:38Speaker 1: you mean you mean I'm emotionally and deared to you.
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: That is absolute nonsense in the realm of the spirit,
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: because physically, when a man says he loves a woman,
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: you know, a husband says I love my wife in
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: many regards, it just means I'm emotionally connected and deared
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: to you. So we ship in that same concept and
- 1:35:58Speaker 1: we say, Lord, I love you. I know you know
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: I love you, And God says, I don't know.
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: I'm watching.
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: I am watching. When I told you I love you,
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: I did not stop at a statement. I sent Jesus
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: to represent my love. And everything Jesus did was motivated
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: by love. So when you say you love me, I say, okay,
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: you have called my attention.
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: I am watching.
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: And for ten years he keeps watching, and you say
- 1:36:21Speaker 1: I love you, and he says, no, it is beyond words.
- 1:36:26Speaker 2: Are we together? Yes, let me tell you this. There
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: are four indecees that measure love in this kingdom.
- 1:36:34Speaker 1: Paul was mentoring the church, and he told them to
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: know the height, the length, and depth. I will run
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: through them very quickly. Number one passion. The first biblical
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: index to measure love is passion. You cannot love anybody
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: and anything without having passion.
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: Passion is the fwell and the fire that drives you.
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: Two people who are in love and they are not
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: lying to themselves, they must be passion.
- 1:37:04Speaker 2: Is that true?
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: As a man who tells you I love my business,
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: I love what I do, they must be passion. So
- 1:37:12Speaker 1: as a man of God, if you say I love Jesus,
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: he's watching for the index of passion. When you say
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: I love my congregation, they are watching for passion. Passion
- 1:37:24Speaker 1: is what drives you to make sure there is no
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: Sunday Sundays that is without a thoroughly inflected life. Applicable
- 1:37:31Speaker 1: spirit inspire truth to teach God's people when you come
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: on Sunday and he say, don't worry. You know I
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: don't return from a journey.
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: I'm so tired. No, you do not love them. Love
- 1:37:43Speaker 2: is measured through the index of passion. Are we together?
- 1:37:46Speaker 2: Number two? Commitment.
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: Commitment is the staying power, regardless of whether it is
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: convenient or not. This is the major problem with the
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: Christianity in Nigeria is the Christianity of Convilians.
- 1:38:07Speaker 10: Don't let my love grow cold. I'm crying out lighter
- 1:38:17Speaker 10: fire again. Don't let my love grow cold. I'm crying.
- 1:38:27Speaker 10: Not light the fire again.
- 1:38:32Speaker 2: I need your dasibling.
- 1:38:38Speaker 3: I'm cry not light the fire again.
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: Commitment.
- 1:38:47Speaker 1: Watch this when you watch an elderly couple and you
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: see a man who probably is suffering from stroke, and
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: the man cannot walk well, he's shaking, and yet his
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: wife is holding him and introducing him and said, ladies
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: and gentlemen, you've not met my husband.
- 1:39:03Speaker 2: That is not passion again. That is commitment. Are we together?
- 1:39:12Speaker 1: Commitment many of us are passionate, but we are not committed.
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: Commitment means given in your tears. It's a covenant to stay.
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: Whether it is convenient or not is.
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: Not the issue.
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: Living is out of it. The bridge has been BoNT commitment.
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: How I love to worship you.
- 1:39:38Speaker 2: I want you to listen to this song.
- 1:39:41Speaker 3: How I love to stand for you.
- 1:39:48Speaker 10: And even though it hurts me for every step I take,
- 1:39:56Speaker 10: and even though we paint me for every.
- 1:40:00Speaker 3: Move I make, but I love you. I can never
- 1:40:09Speaker 3: ever do without you.
- 1:40:12Speaker 4: I love you.
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: I can never ever do without you.
- 1:40:20Speaker 4: I love you. I love you.
- 1:40:24Speaker 5: I can never ever do without you.
- 1:40:28Speaker 10: And even though it paints me for every step I take,
- 1:40:36Speaker 10: and even though it hurts me, for every.
- 1:40:40Speaker 3: Move I make.
- 1:40:42Speaker 2: Listen.
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: You have not seen love until you find commitment. Commitment, commitment, commitment. Lord,
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: I am here. You will find me here when the
- 1:40:57Speaker 1: dust comes. You will find me here when laughter comes.
- 1:41:01Speaker 1: You will find me here when there are no members.
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: You will find me here when people misunderstand me. You
- 1:41:07Speaker 1: will find me here. As for me and you, it
- 1:41:10Speaker 1: is assault covenant bound to you by a covenant that
- 1:41:14Speaker 1: is non emotional. This generation of preachers are celebrities. Not
- 1:41:23Speaker 1: people who are servants of the most High. When it
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: is convenient and wonderful. If you will see me on
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: social media, then yes Lord. If I will have access
- 1:41:35Speaker 1: to a crowd of people, then yes Lord. If my
- 1:41:38Speaker 1: name will be known Joshua Selman, then yes Lord.
- 1:41:45Speaker 2: Index number three.
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: If it is genuine love, there must be pleasure. It
- 1:41:53Speaker 1: is not all about pain. When Jesus died, he was
- 1:41:58Speaker 1: exalted and coronated on it through. If your work is
- 1:42:02Speaker 1: full of pain alone.
- 1:42:04Speaker 2: Something is wrong.
- 1:42:05Speaker 1: There is a pleasure dimension because in the Bible you
- 1:42:08Speaker 1: can taste and see that the Lord is good.
- 1:42:13Speaker 2: Are we together? So when you say I love you, Lord,
- 1:42:18Speaker 2: that means my life must give you pleasure.
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: And I also expect sincerely that from this love relationship,
- 1:42:25Speaker 1: dear a pleasure. Two people cannot be in love and
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: it's all about pain and passion.
- 1:42:31Speaker 2: Claire has to be room for pleasure. So when the
- 1:42:34Speaker 2: gentleman buys the lady a gift on her birthday, she
- 1:42:37Speaker 2: smiles and she's happy. She will prepare a nice meal
- 1:42:40Speaker 2: for him and is happy.
- 1:42:41Speaker 1: When a husband's surprises his why buys a car or house,
- 1:42:44Speaker 1: she's happy. She didn't marry him for a car However,
- 1:42:49Speaker 1: it is part of the definition of love within that sphere.
- 1:42:54Speaker 2: Away together. Yes.
- 1:42:56Speaker 1: Finally, the fourth index, which is the major one that
- 1:43:00Speaker 1: measures love. The highest biblical index that measures love is sacrifice.
- 1:43:08Speaker 16: Sacrifice, How be here worshiping all of the days of
- 1:43:20Speaker 16: my life? How big he worshiping.
- 1:43:28Speaker 3: All of the days of my life?
- 1:43:32Speaker 2: Lord, al beg.
- 1:43:35Speaker 3: Loving you. It's all of the days of my life.
- 1:43:42Speaker 2: How be.
- 1:43:45Speaker 3: Loving you all of the days of my life.
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: Go and read your Bible and see what happened to
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: those who love God even in the presence of death.
- 1:43:59Speaker 2: They said, death, you are too small. This relationship is
- 1:44:01Speaker 2: deeper than the flesh. Can I tell you the truth?
- 1:44:04Speaker 1: You see, I come from the North with all your respect,
- 1:44:08Speaker 1: even though I know that everywhere Nigeria will face our
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: show of persecution.
- 1:44:13Speaker 2: But for many years I was in Zaria, and that
- 1:44:20Speaker 2: is like it's like the Northern the Zaza Emirate. I
- 1:44:26Speaker 2: have met many crisis in my life.
- 1:44:29Speaker 1: I have seen many things that would have discouraged me
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: to just run away and say listen, let me just
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: go abroader or go somewhere. After all, when you travel,
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: you see travel with your anointing and the grace it's
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: not a charm that you drop it. But I made
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: up my mind whether it works well or not. I
- 1:44:52Speaker 1: remember a time when I was going for administration years ago.
- 1:44:56Speaker 1: I'm encouraging you and will prayer my wasting your time.
- 1:45:06Speaker 1: I had passed to Cardunna on my way to Abuja
- 1:45:11Speaker 1: to board the flight that leads to that location because
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: it was at the.
- 1:45:15Speaker 2: Time where you know, the terrorists were destopping that area.
- 1:45:20Speaker 1: It was made Douguria was going to so men of
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: God were not agreeing to go there because it could
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: coursue your life unjustifiably. So, I mean, people would not
- 1:45:29Speaker 1: just throw away their families like that. And the people
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: needed that encouragement and I promised them that I was
- 1:45:36Speaker 1: going to come. So I was on my way going
- 1:45:40Speaker 1: when I got a text by the airline and they said,
- 1:45:43Speaker 1: sorry that the flight has been canceled. You know, the
- 1:45:47Speaker 1: tickets are still open. You can use it for another
- 1:45:50Speaker 1: you know flight somewhere or whatever it is. I remember
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: looking at my driver was a Muslim man a Friday afternoon.
- 1:45:59Speaker 1: If you know anything about the North, Friday afternoons and
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: no good times in wise man will not be loitering
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: around on guarded areas at that time, and I remember
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: I asked him and I said, can you drive to
- 1:46:11Speaker 1: me degree? I can't disappoint these people. And he looked
- 1:46:14Speaker 1: at me and he said, let's go. We turned from
- 1:46:19Speaker 1: Cardunna and we're on our way. I passed Canoe just
- 1:46:24Speaker 1: one hour after I passed Cano when there was a
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: bomb blast and they declared coffee. We were driving in
- 1:46:31Speaker 1: the night and we already we did not know what
- 1:46:34Speaker 1: to expect. When we got to Portisco, it was in
- 1:46:37Speaker 1: the night. Military people had to stop and say something
- 1:46:40Speaker 1: is wrong with you. Every other person who comes more stop.
- 1:46:43Speaker 1: There is fight going on there and you people are
- 1:46:46Speaker 1: coming there. I slept in the car in the night
- 1:46:49Speaker 1: till morning, and I remember placing my head with mosquitoes
- 1:46:53Speaker 1: and the rest. It was not because of poverty, I said, Lord,
- 1:46:56Speaker 1: I love you. See nobody comes out of nowhere.
- 1:47:00Speaker 2: Did you hear what I said?
- 1:47:05Speaker 1: Behind every story, behind every glory, they say, there is
- 1:47:09Speaker 1: a story.
- 1:47:12Speaker 2: I cannot begin to tell you if you know the
- 1:47:15Speaker 2: things to God with the glory.
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: But ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you to believe
- 1:47:22Speaker 1: that being used by God and demonstrating your love for
- 1:47:26Speaker 1: him will not cost you is you deceiving yourself. I
- 1:47:31Speaker 1: cannot tell you the times when I return back from
- 1:47:34Speaker 1: a tree, because you know, being in Zaria then you
- 1:47:37Speaker 1: could not easily access flights. I would return back sometimes
- 1:47:41Speaker 1: six on the dot. Coynonia is already on, and forget
- 1:47:45Speaker 1: about the issue of food. Just to quickly take my
- 1:47:48Speaker 1: birth rush and with persion in my heart. Lord, is
- 1:47:51Speaker 1: a privilege and an honor for me to serve your people.
- 1:47:54Speaker 1: When I'm done, I'm counseling up until two am in
- 1:47:57Speaker 1: the morning. I return back by four o'clock. I'm baffing again.
- 1:48:01Speaker 1: I have to be out to catch an eight thirty
- 1:48:03Speaker 1: flight in Abuja. I did this for many years. I
- 1:48:07Speaker 1: did not stay at home for good two weeks in
- 1:48:09Speaker 1: a year. Why risk yourself like this? Are you that
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: desperate about the people? I'm saying this because don't say
- 1:48:24Speaker 1: God trust.
- 1:48:25Speaker 3: Me with men?
- 1:48:26Speaker 2: Do you love me enough to lay down your life
- 1:48:29Speaker 2: and bend over backwards? I know that you have learned.
- 1:48:36Speaker 2: There are many things about ministry.
- 1:48:38Speaker 1: I don't need to tell you. You are learning enough.
- 1:48:41Speaker 1: You have attended conferences that I've taught you. But we
- 1:48:44Speaker 1: are dealing with this love issue. Mog forget your title.
- 1:48:48Speaker 1: Let's discuss the love issue that when everything fails, membership, sermons, conferences.
- 1:48:59Speaker 1: If this one thing is standing, then you are standing.
- 1:49:03Speaker 1: I don't care what else is standing.
- 1:49:05Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:49:07Speaker 1: If that love aspect goes down, everything about your life
- 1:49:13Speaker 1: has come down.
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: I want you, in one minute to lay your hands on.
- 1:49:17Speaker 1: Your head if you can, and say, Father, renew my love,
- 1:49:21Speaker 1: renew my love and my passion for you.
- 1:49:23Speaker 2: Please make it sincere from your heart.
- 1:49:28Speaker 1: Renew my love for you. Renew my love for you.
- 1:49:35Speaker 1: Renew my love for you. Renew my love.
- 1:49:46Speaker 2: Allelujah, Please look at me in Jesus name.
- 1:49:50Speaker 1: Paul the Apostle wrote in your Bible that you read
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: the many things that happened to him. Apostle Paul was
- 1:49:58Speaker 1: not just a great man. Today we're celebrating two thirds
- 1:50:02Speaker 1: of the New Testament. Go and read how many times
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: he died?
- 1:50:05Speaker 2: He told you in suffering, in pain, he said, what
- 1:50:09Speaker 2: shall separate.
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: Us from the love of God? And he begins to
- 1:50:12Speaker 1: list a lot of things. There are many people just
- 1:50:15Speaker 1: because somebody said I don't believe.
- 1:50:16Speaker 2: In you, you say I'm leaving ministry. What brought you
- 1:50:19Speaker 2: in the first place?
- 1:50:20Speaker 1: That's small a reason just because you were not invited
- 1:50:30Speaker 1: for a meeting or a conference. Look at the petty
- 1:50:34Speaker 1: reasons that people give for not being passionate about the
- 1:50:38Speaker 1: things of God.
- 1:50:40Speaker 2: It is because that love factor is not there. Are
- 1:50:43Speaker 2: we together? No, a member annoyed me.
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: I won't preach again for three weeks until everybody comes
- 1:50:49Speaker 1: to peckne ah bah. So God's people who suffer for
- 1:50:54Speaker 1: twenty one days because you have a personal problem with
- 1:50:56Speaker 1: one person, go back and check your love life.
- 1:51:03Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 1:51:11Speaker 3: All that I long for is founding your love.
- 1:51:17Speaker 2: You are everything I need.
- 1:51:24Speaker 4: You are the first.
- 1:51:27Speaker 11: You are the street, You are the hung and leave,
- 1:51:34Speaker 11: and deep inside of me.
- 1:51:39Speaker 2: You are the food.
- 1:51:42Speaker 4: That side is fat.
- 1:51:46Speaker 2: You are provision for the journey of my life.
- 1:51:54Speaker 3: Oh are everything?
- 1:52:00Speaker 2: Listen?
- 1:52:02Speaker 1: When I placed my hand on this floor, I told
- 1:52:05Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus, either you will come and meet me working,
- 1:52:10Speaker 1: or I will meet you with honor.
- 1:52:12Speaker 2: As for me, I died.
- 1:52:13Speaker 1: Since seins, and since it is appointed on two men
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: to die, only ones died since Die to your reputation,
- 1:52:26Speaker 1: die to your whatever it is. My one commitment is
- 1:52:32Speaker 1: the cross before me, the world behind me. And you
- 1:52:36Speaker 1: press and match like a warrior, even afraid of death.
- 1:52:42Speaker 1: I will live long by the grace of God. But
- 1:52:45Speaker 1: if this will cost me my life, then so be it.
- 1:52:48Speaker 1: Many people talking nonsense. I am a personal I am prophet.
- 1:52:51Speaker 1: They hear the sound of a god and they're running.
- 1:52:53Speaker 1: What emog Can you stand and look at everything I'm saying.
- 1:53:03Speaker 2: Instead of killing all of them, let me go.
- 1:53:09Speaker 1: Were discussing ministry of and time. Ministry, it's not a
- 1:53:13Speaker 1: ministry of convenience. It's a ministry that will test the
- 1:53:17Speaker 1: sincerity of your passion.
- 1:53:21Speaker 2: When we started out, we used to sing songs like.
- 1:53:23Speaker 3: I pledge.
- 1:53:25Speaker 2: Allegiance to the Land. It was not an it was
- 1:53:30Speaker 2: not a special number.
- 1:53:31Speaker 1: People will stand up and stand like a national national
- 1:53:35Speaker 1: lantern with all am.
- 1:53:39Speaker 2: I will seek to honor your comment. I pledge allegiance
- 1:53:47Speaker 2: to the land. Chudging and no good. Please hear me.
- 1:53:51Speaker 1: If it becomes just about money or titles or reputation,
- 1:53:57Speaker 1: and I'm saying this from a heart of love or competition.
- 1:54:01Speaker 1: Who is more annointed than who, Who has more revelation
- 1:54:04Speaker 1: than this, who prophesies more than who? Then you are
- 1:54:07Speaker 1: aborting the purposes of God in this time. You must
- 1:54:11Speaker 1: love God way enough to shield those things, of course,
- 1:54:16Speaker 1: so you don't know who offended me. There's one man
- 1:54:18Speaker 1: of God across Listen. Can you, for the sake of
- 1:54:21Speaker 1: the kingdom to a wagh that and focus on the
- 1:54:24Speaker 1: excellency of that which brings glory to the heart of God?
- 1:54:31Speaker 2: Are we together this fight for members? This one took
- 1:54:34Speaker 2: my members? This one? Who is whose member?
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: This one did this one? Do you know I'm being
- 1:54:41Speaker 1: sincere with us this morning? Because if I teach you
- 1:54:45Speaker 1: one church court, you have heard it. If I teach
- 1:54:48Speaker 1: you on prayer, you have heard it. I teach you
- 1:54:50Speaker 1: on revelation, you have heard it. This love aspect, there
- 1:54:53Speaker 1: is a lot of pretense and hypocrisy in the body
- 1:54:55Speaker 1: of Christ. Is why we are not able to access
- 1:54:58Speaker 1: genuine power. Can you love Him beyond your reputation? He
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: called me Joshua Selman? Where did they keep the apostle?
- 1:55:06Speaker 1: Does you know I'm really meant Jesus?
- 1:55:08Speaker 2: Okay?
- 1:55:08Speaker 1: Sorry, sorry, he forgot Can you focus on the assignment
- 1:55:13Speaker 1: on that which is greater and bigger than your reputation? Listen,
- 1:55:17Speaker 1: By reason of what I do in ministry, I have
- 1:55:20Speaker 1: said God to mighty and great miracles.
- 1:55:24Speaker 2: But I have also stood before many dead bodies.
- 1:55:27Speaker 1: And one of the lessons I learned when I stand
- 1:55:29Speaker 1: before a copse is the brevity of life. The hymn
- 1:55:34Speaker 1: writer says, life at best is very brief, like the
- 1:55:37Speaker 1: falling of a leaf, like the binding of a ship.
- 1:55:40Speaker 2: And he says, be in time. Is that true?
- 1:55:44Speaker 1: The way we carry all this life, my reputation, my honor.
- 1:55:47Speaker 1: You don't know who I am. I will show you
- 1:55:50Speaker 1: all that thing is distracting us. And while all of
- 1:55:53Speaker 1: those those ego driven practices are going on, souls are dying,
- 1:55:58Speaker 1: Believers are not being mentor and mature. Those who must
- 1:56:02Speaker 1: serve the purposes of God in ministry must be people
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: who love God enough. Can you take the blows and
- 1:56:09Speaker 1: the wounds? And since saying, Lord, if it's for you,
- 1:56:11Speaker 1: then I do not mind.
- 1:56:13Speaker 2: This is my message for you this morning, and it's.
- 1:56:20Speaker 1: Already affecting younger ministers who are coming. You go to
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: many camposes right now. There is there are different shades
- 1:56:26Speaker 1: of rivalry. This man of God is a giant in prayer.
- 1:56:30Speaker 1: This one is a giant in these two of them
- 1:56:32Speaker 1: are fighting themselves.
- 1:56:33Speaker 2: They have their own camps like politics, and look at
- 1:56:35Speaker 2: the nonsense.
- 1:56:36Speaker 1: These are young boys who are not even started, but
- 1:56:38Speaker 1: they are learning it from somewhere.
- 1:56:42Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 1:56:43Speaker 1: The purposes of God's bigger than who you are, or
- 1:56:47Speaker 1: what you are or what you have. If I die today,
- 1:56:51Speaker 1: the purposes of God will not stop. I am too
- 1:56:53Speaker 1: small in.
- 1:56:53Speaker 2: Reason and a factor to make that happen.
- 1:57:00Speaker 1: I am calling on you this morning, beyond the desire
- 1:57:04Speaker 1: to stand behind the poor, pite, beyond the desire to
- 1:57:08Speaker 1: learn Greek and Hebrew so that you can communicate soundly
- 1:57:11Speaker 1: and end respect among your pairs and your contemporaries, the
- 1:57:17Speaker 1: desire to want to be seen. Nothing is wrong intrinsically
- 1:57:20Speaker 1: with those things, except for the fact that if that
- 1:57:23Speaker 1: becomes a replacement for your love for Jesus, then you
- 1:57:26Speaker 1: are not in ministry.
- 1:57:28Speaker 2: You can be building branches. You are not in ministry.
- 1:57:31Speaker 2: You can be having mega conferences. You are not in ministry.
- 1:57:35Speaker 2: They can call you apostle Joshua Salman.
- 1:57:37Speaker 1: You are still not in ministry because ministry is not
- 1:57:40Speaker 1: defined by the flambuoyancy of the activity. And yet, on
- 1:57:44Speaker 1: the other hand, you can love Jesus sincerely and all
- 1:57:48Speaker 1: through the lifetime.
- 1:57:49Speaker 2: Of your ministry.
- 1:57:50Speaker 1: You will only pass off fifty people now our world
- 1:57:53Speaker 1: today will look at you as a junior man of God.
- 1:57:55Speaker 1: Is none of what we say. Joshua Salman is coming
- 1:57:57Speaker 1: clear away from him. These are the guys I'm making
- 1:58:00Speaker 1: things happen, unfortunately, and the fifty member man who has
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: a depth of love for God that the Joshua Salmans
- 1:58:10Speaker 1: do not come close to. We push them aside and say,
- 1:58:13Speaker 1: these are the ones that are deserving of honor. It's
- 1:58:15Speaker 1: a human thing, unfortunately, But these are the people you
- 1:58:20Speaker 1: see the day well stand before God.
- 1:58:22Speaker 2: There there will be surprises that day because.
- 1:58:25Speaker 1: Some of us that everybody is clapping for us, thinking
- 1:58:28Speaker 1: we are standing, You will be surprised where we will
- 1:58:30Speaker 1: stand in that ranking.
- 1:58:32Speaker 2: And you will see one mama.
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: Who nobody knows, who has been an intercessor given the
- 1:58:37Speaker 1: ministry to pray for Joshua Selman and it's the reason
- 1:58:40Speaker 1: why he's succeeding. That mama will stand before Jesus and
- 1:58:43Speaker 1: he will say, well done. And you say, what did
- 1:58:45Speaker 1: mama do? She never had a ministry, She didn't register
- 1:58:50Speaker 1: any church with CS and God will say, serious nonsense.
- 1:58:54Speaker 1: This woman was a more mini. She was more effective
- 1:58:57Speaker 1: in ministry than any other person. When I learned this
- 1:59:00Speaker 1: thing about God. It did something to my spiritual understanding.
- 1:59:05Speaker 1: I've shared it heard one of the sessions of our
- 1:59:07Speaker 1: conference when I was preaching for a PFM who say
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: in Cano Daddy years ago, and I call this woman
- 1:59:14Speaker 1: out by world of Knowledge. I'm ministering to her and
- 1:59:17Speaker 1: she just comes out since here it doesn't speak very
- 1:59:20Speaker 1: good English, and you know she speaks in house.
- 1:59:23Speaker 2: And I'm about to pray for her, and the Lord
- 1:59:25Speaker 2: grants me a revelation.
- 1:59:26Speaker 1: And then this woman tells me she finishes her Bible
- 1:59:30Speaker 1: every fifteen days.
- 1:59:33Speaker 2: And I'm standing before this woman. What in the world
- 1:59:38Speaker 2: these days? So what did I come to do? Here?
- 1:59:43Speaker 1: Here is a big man of God coming to stand
- 1:59:47Speaker 1: and doing all the things that we do, and here
- 1:59:50Speaker 1: is a quiet woman seeking prayer. Can I tell you
- 1:59:54Speaker 1: some of the most powerful people I have met in the.
- 1:59:57Speaker 2: Spirit and nameless, faceless people, and they will come to
- 2:00:04Speaker 2: you quietly. I remember an elderly woman.
- 2:00:07Speaker 1: Yes ago, who gave me one advice, one that became
- 2:00:11Speaker 1: a strong foundation for my life today.
- 2:00:15Speaker 2: When you find those kinds of people, respect them or
- 2:00:19Speaker 2: not them.
- 2:00:22Speaker 1: These are people with depths of relationship with Jesus, their.
- 2:00:27Speaker 2: Love for him.
- 2:00:30Speaker 1: I've had the honor of people of knowing a few
- 2:00:33Speaker 1: people who bo go around killed, and some of them
- 2:00:35Speaker 1: at the point of dying. It was with joy and laughter.
- 2:00:38Speaker 1: They said, if you're doing it, to it first, it's
- 2:00:40Speaker 1: too small a reason. And I thought to myself, God,
- 2:00:44Speaker 1: can I do this? It's not about social media, as
- 2:00:48Speaker 1: wonderful as it is. If you cannot die for God,
- 2:00:52Speaker 1: if you can only live for God, you are lying.
- 2:00:56Speaker 1: True love is not how much you can live for
- 2:00:59Speaker 1: me someone who can die. Even secular people use it.
- 2:01:02Speaker 1: When a gentleman likes a lady, whether he knows what
- 2:01:05Speaker 1: he's saying or not, he says, I will die for you,
- 2:01:08Speaker 1: and she says, really, she would not clap for him
- 2:01:10Speaker 1: for saying I will live for you. What do you
- 2:01:12Speaker 1: mean you will live for me? Well, if you say
- 2:01:14Speaker 1: you would die for me? Aha, are we together? Do
- 2:01:26Speaker 1: you know that the Christianity we received in Nigeria and
- 2:01:30Speaker 1: across Africa came through the blood of many.
- 2:01:34Speaker 2: The national anthem says that the labor of our hero's
- 2:01:37Speaker 2: pert shall not be vain.
- 2:01:39Speaker 1: It is true even for Scripture that there are people
- 2:01:42Speaker 1: who literally die. Paul got to a point where he
- 2:01:45Speaker 1: said for me to leave His Christ and to die
- 2:01:48Speaker 1: is gain. Listen to me, ladies and gentlemen. God is
- 2:01:52Speaker 1: helping to redefine our priorities. Because we're going to prayers,
- 2:01:55Speaker 1: we prepare to wrap up to go back and say, Lord,
- 2:01:59Speaker 1: such my love life.
- 2:02:00Speaker 2: This thing I've been doing. Is it true that I
- 2:02:03Speaker 2: really love you?
- 2:02:04Speaker 1: Or it's just because I want to expand my church
- 2:02:06Speaker 1: what I call evangelism.
- 2:02:08Speaker 2: Is it a sincere desire to.
- 2:02:11Speaker 1: Have more souls come? Or is it just because I
- 2:02:14Speaker 1: want to mean on an influence. We have to be sincere,
- 2:02:18Speaker 1: whether we like it or not.
- 2:02:19Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, Jesus is coming soon.
- 2:02:22Speaker 1: I know that we don't hear it again, but let
- 2:02:24Speaker 1: me remind you. For some of you, after a very
- 2:02:26Speaker 1: long time, he's still coming.
- 2:02:36Speaker 3: Nothing in this world concern is fine. Jesus, You're come
- 2:02:43Speaker 3: that one run.
- 2:02:46Speaker 2: If I came into this place and I found five
- 2:02:49Speaker 2: people I stand by the God of Heaven, I will
- 2:02:52Speaker 2: preach with all my heart to me does not make
- 2:02:56Speaker 2: any difference.
- 2:02:58Speaker 1: It's just because when you get to certain positions, humanly speaking,
- 2:03:02Speaker 1: there are certain levels of honor that people will not.
- 2:03:04Speaker 2: Allow you to go below.
- 2:03:05Speaker 1: And since here there is room like that priest who
- 2:03:08Speaker 1: gives you that privilege of experience in honor. But you see,
- 2:03:11Speaker 1: when I stand before the mirror and I look at
- 2:03:13Speaker 1: myself my prayer, I talk to myself many times, and
- 2:03:16Speaker 1: I said, Joshua.
- 2:03:16Speaker 2: Salman, remember where God brought you from.
- 2:03:20Speaker 1: Let the world keep doing the clapping while you keep
- 2:03:23Speaker 1: working in wisdom. For some of you here you are
- 2:03:28Speaker 1: forgotten where he brought you from. You have even forgotten
- 2:03:31Speaker 1: about him. Do you know ministry can become an idol,
- 2:03:34Speaker 1: that the God who is supposed to be the epicenter
- 2:03:36Speaker 1: of the ministry is not yet there, and yet you
- 2:03:38Speaker 1: are doing ministry.
- 2:03:40Speaker 2: My call for you is a call for repentance this morning.
- 2:03:43Speaker 1: There are many people who really truly need to return
- 2:03:46Speaker 1: back to spiritual things. I agree you're a prayer warrior,
- 2:03:49Speaker 1: but let us vet your heart for God. What is
- 2:03:52Speaker 1: the motivation behind being a prayer warrior? H I found
- 2:03:55Speaker 1: out that if you're a prayer word, your people respect you.
- 2:03:57Speaker 1: So I got into it.
- 2:03:59Speaker 2: Why are you praying? I'm praying for more power? What
- 2:04:01Speaker 2: if power does not come? No, it cannot come. God
- 2:04:04Speaker 2: can't fail me.
- 2:04:11Speaker 1: Abraham, take down thy son, thy only son whom thou lovest,
- 2:04:16Speaker 1: and take him to a mountain that I will show
- 2:04:19Speaker 1: you the Bible, says Abraham rose up early?
- 2:04:23Speaker 2: Is it in your Bible?
- 2:04:24Speaker 1: And he dragged Isaac placed him on the altar, and
- 2:04:28Speaker 1: carry the knife.
- 2:04:29Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm going.
- 2:04:30Speaker 1: To tell Sarah when I go back, but let me
- 2:04:34Speaker 1: prove my love for Jesus or my love for God.
- 2:04:39Speaker 1: If God tells you to empty your account, now, will
- 2:04:43Speaker 1: you bind that voice saying he say demon no?
- 2:04:45Speaker 2: Will you obey?
- 2:04:46Speaker 1: You are a true lover of God when you have
- 2:04:49Speaker 1: lost the ability to tell him no. And be careful
- 2:04:52Speaker 1: when you say, God, I give you everything, because he
- 2:04:54Speaker 1: would test every one of that statements the God that
- 2:04:57Speaker 1: I know, Lord, take my car, and it says excellent.
- 2:05:03Speaker 1: Now you can't tell God take money that somebody gave me.
- 2:05:08Speaker 1: He will wait until your areas have been plaid. After
- 2:05:11Speaker 1: you have collected your areas of five months, you will
- 2:05:13Speaker 1: come to you with clarity that cannot be doubted.
- 2:05:19Speaker 2: Can you sacrifice this? It's not about the money. He
- 2:05:21Speaker 2: does not need it. It's about the idols in your heart.
- 2:05:27Speaker 2: Man of God. If God tells you now to close your.
- 2:05:29Speaker 1: Assembly, literally to close it while COVID was going on.
- 2:05:37Speaker 1: You know, we didn't have service from March till December.
- 2:05:41Speaker 1: And I remember someone lovingly calling me and said, pursum,
- 2:05:44Speaker 1: i've been the ministry for a while, or this thing
- 2:05:46Speaker 1: you're doing in suicidal. By December you will call on
- 2:05:49Speaker 1: members and nobody will come again.
- 2:05:50Speaker 2: And I laughed.
- 2:05:51Speaker 1: I said, really, you do not know the joy that
- 2:05:54Speaker 1: I have now, no ministration, no preaching. I've not had
- 2:05:57Speaker 1: this time for myself in a long time. I won't
- 2:06:00Speaker 1: waste this opportunity. This is my time with God. This
- 2:06:03Speaker 1: is my time to rest. They are the shape of
- 2:06:06Speaker 1: his pastial who told you that? How did they come
- 2:06:09Speaker 1: in the first place? If I call them, it is
- 2:06:11Speaker 1: out of responsibility, not insecurity. I told them, I said,
- 2:06:15Speaker 1: give me rest. I didn't die on the cross. My
- 2:06:19Speaker 1: face is not on the crucifix. I won't put that
- 2:06:21Speaker 1: kind of burden on myself. I love God's people, but
- 2:06:26Speaker 1: not to that degree of allowing, pretending like it is
- 2:06:30Speaker 1: love when it is self that is motivating it to
- 2:06:33Speaker 1: protect what is my own so that my reputation will
- 2:06:36Speaker 1: not be lost. Perhaps people will interpret it for backsliding.
- 2:06:40Speaker 1: It is still self. What do people say self?
- 2:06:51Speaker 2: Allelujah.
- 2:06:53Speaker 1: In this kingdom, we gain things by having the ability
- 2:06:56Speaker 1: to be able to lose them. The moment you are
- 2:06:59Speaker 1: protective of that very sick, that very state will make
- 2:07:03Speaker 1: you lose it. I went together, there is nothing God
- 2:07:07Speaker 1: has given me today that if he calls for, I
- 2:07:10Speaker 1: will not give him.
- 2:07:13Speaker 2: Believe me, I'm not just. This is not a preacher.
- 2:07:15Speaker 2: As you are spiritual people.
- 2:07:17Speaker 1: You can't imagine the things he has demanded that I've said, Yes, sir,
- 2:07:23Speaker 1: it is.
- 2:07:23Speaker 2: You with all joy.
- 2:07:26Speaker 1: Do you know for many years God will not allow
- 2:07:30Speaker 1: me buy a car. I needed it for ministry, but
- 2:07:35Speaker 1: for some reason I would bless people and do all this.
- 2:07:38Speaker 1: But I remember one time you have heard my story.
- 2:07:41Speaker 1: I stood in front of this cast and negotiated with them.
- 2:07:44Speaker 2: I wanted to buy a.
- 2:07:44Speaker 1: Car that would be useful for traveling around. And God
- 2:07:47Speaker 1: asked me what I was doing there, and I left.
- 2:07:51Speaker 1: True story, There was a time my account was hurted,
- 2:07:54Speaker 1: millions were taken out of it, and I was having
- 2:07:57Speaker 1: I mean the bank that morning it was like fire
- 2:08:00Speaker 1: on the mountain in the bank, and the people are
- 2:08:03Speaker 1: You have to all the people who stay with you
- 2:08:06Speaker 1: must sign and undertaking. There must be police station. I said,
- 2:08:09Speaker 1: for what, Oh, we have to check this an incitement
- 2:08:12Speaker 1: on the integrity of the bank. The bank manager, my
- 2:08:15Speaker 1: account officer, several people. We now sat down for a meeting,
- 2:08:18Speaker 1: and the meeting were okay, who do you know the
- 2:08:20Speaker 1: last how many you know? How bankers ask your kinds
- 2:08:22Speaker 1: of questions? And the Holy Spirit asked me, what am
- 2:08:25Speaker 1: I doing here? And I'm trying to protect it. I
- 2:08:28Speaker 1: mean millions just finished on a Sunday. The person was
- 2:08:32Speaker 1: somebody who was stole using in the switch. All these
- 2:08:34Speaker 1: guys who do all these things. And then while I
- 2:08:38Speaker 1: was there, the Holy Spirit asked me, is it my
- 2:08:41Speaker 1: money or is God's money? I said it's his own.
- 2:08:43Speaker 2: He said, for I trust him as you stand up
- 2:08:45Speaker 2: and work out, And I told him, I said, this
- 2:08:47Speaker 2: is the end of it. Thank you very much. No, no, no, no,
- 2:08:49Speaker 2: I said, it's my money. It's so good. Case close.
- 2:08:53Speaker 1: Don't tell me you love God when you say you
- 2:08:56Speaker 1: love God. Let me see the sacrifice on your all time.
- 2:08:59Speaker 1: If there is there's nothing there.
- 2:09:00Speaker 2: Just keep quiet. You are talking absolute nonsense.
- 2:09:04Speaker 10: You provide the fire, I'll provide the sacrifice.
- 2:09:14Speaker 2: We are going to pray. You provide the spirit.
- 2:09:24Speaker 3: Novel opened up and.
- 2:09:26Speaker 4: Sid feel me up, feel me, feel me, feel me.
- 2:09:39Speaker 1: I remember leaving the bank and such joy and peace
- 2:09:44Speaker 1: that I could not describe just flooded me. Haven't parted
- 2:09:47Speaker 1: away with millions that would never come, and I was happy.
- 2:09:53Speaker 1: I remember years ago in Portacot, when the Lord gave
- 2:09:57Speaker 1: me an assignment to carry everything I had and saw it.
- 2:10:01Speaker 2: As I said, I didn't have much, but it was
- 2:10:04Speaker 2: still precious to me.
- 2:10:05Speaker 1: I put everything clos my rechargeable lantern, sipped everything and
- 2:10:10Speaker 1: laid my hands on it. I'm prayed in turns for
- 2:10:12Speaker 1: three hours non stop. When I was done, I dragged
- 2:10:16Speaker 1: it to church. There was an overflow and I sat
- 2:10:19Speaker 1: down outside and God decided to disgrace me. As people
- 2:10:23Speaker 1: were dropping their seat, he asked me to wait when
- 2:10:25Speaker 1: everybody was done and outside I can come.
- 2:10:28Speaker 2: True story, true story.
- 2:10:30Speaker 1: That was how I held my bag. Imagine somebody coming
- 2:10:33Speaker 1: behind with your bag. That was really Isaich, the one
- 2:10:37Speaker 1: you have been giving is Ishmael. That's why you gave
- 2:10:39Speaker 1: it first.
- 2:10:39Speaker 2: That there you give Isaac, you will know it was
- 2:10:43Speaker 2: Isich you gave.
- 2:10:47Speaker 1: When I dragged that bag and I dropped it at
- 2:10:49Speaker 1: the altar, something died in me. I went back and
- 2:10:53Speaker 1: I sat down outside, and it now occurred to me
- 2:10:56Speaker 1: what God told Abraham, you have done this for me.
- 2:10:59Speaker 1: I swear by my name that in blessing there are
- 2:11:03Speaker 1: people who are operating under a swan blessing. You don't
- 2:11:07Speaker 1: know what moves them and opens doors like this. It's
- 2:11:10Speaker 1: beyond just prayer request. It's beyond just having faith and
- 2:11:13Speaker 1: believing God. They have done something with God that has
- 2:11:16Speaker 1: made God to foul, a foul God has opened doors
- 2:11:22Speaker 1: that only him can close because of sacrifice.
- 2:11:27Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 2:11:28Speaker 3: This is true.
- 2:11:31Speaker 2: I made up my mind.
- 2:11:34Speaker 1: That all that, all that will be required. While I
- 2:11:38Speaker 1: was in Saria, people gave me all kinds of suggestions.
- 2:11:41Speaker 1: Why don't you relocate, go abroad?
- 2:11:44Speaker 2: Do all this? There are many wonderful things. What is sarry?
- 2:11:46Speaker 2: For God's sake? You have?
- 2:11:48Speaker 1: What are you? This is where He wants me to
- 2:11:52Speaker 1: be When God asks me to move to a Budja.
- 2:11:54Speaker 1: I struggled with God for three years, three three years? God,
- 2:12:01Speaker 1: is this You let me not make any decision. I'm
- 2:12:03Speaker 1: not I'm comfortable where you have put me and I
- 2:12:07Speaker 1: love you.
- 2:12:07Speaker 3: For three years.
- 2:12:15Speaker 1: Allelujah, I have met all kinds of things. Our plane
- 2:12:21Speaker 1: was the last to leave London when when we arrived
- 2:12:26Speaker 1: and they declared lockdown was the last. If I delayed,
- 2:12:32Speaker 1: I would have been trapped in UK for three.
- 2:12:34Speaker 2: Months roaming around. What would I be doing there? It's
- 2:12:39Speaker 2: not my place. What kind of vacation will you do
- 2:12:46Speaker 2: for three months?
- 2:12:48Speaker 1: As soon as I arrived, I remember them calling us
- 2:12:51Speaker 1: and said all the people who were in that plane,
- 2:12:54Speaker 1: most of them had COVID, and they said, wherever you are,
- 2:12:57Speaker 1: report yourself so that they would check you. Because by
- 2:13:01Speaker 1: that time it had gone so far. I moved in
- 2:13:06Speaker 1: the midst of people with COVID. There is no reason
- 2:13:10Speaker 1: why I should not have had it, No reason, no
- 2:13:14Speaker 1: human reason, not just from UK all through interacting with them.
- 2:13:20Speaker 2: These are realities that only happen to love us.
- 2:13:23Speaker 1: There are things that if you don't love God, you
- 2:13:25Speaker 1: would think people are lying. God will carry the prayer
- 2:13:28Speaker 1: point of someone and give you us a love gift,
- 2:13:31Speaker 1: the same way a man can buy a house and
- 2:13:34Speaker 1: an estate and say, my dear wife for standing with me.
- 2:13:38Speaker 2: I just want to tell you that I love you,
- 2:13:40Speaker 2: and you'll be angry and say, who is she that
- 2:13:42Speaker 2: you are giving an estate? Ask the man who she is.
- 2:13:49Speaker 1: For some of you, as you begin, it is not
- 2:13:51Speaker 1: difficult to get the land for the churche, It is
- 2:13:54Speaker 1: not difficult to get the money. All these things will
- 2:13:57Speaker 1: make it look as if God's power it is our
- 2:14:00Speaker 1: lack of love for him. By the time you allow
- 2:14:03Speaker 1: him to purify the corruption that is in your heart
- 2:14:06Speaker 1: and you are motivated by love, believe me, there are
- 2:14:09Speaker 1: many things you will not need to pray for when
- 2:14:11Speaker 1: the lover arises. The Bible says, jealous is the rage
- 2:14:15Speaker 1: of a man. There is no responsible husband. That someone
- 2:14:19Speaker 1: will talk and be intimidating his wife, and the man
- 2:14:21Speaker 1: will be watching.
- 2:14:22Speaker 2: When you truly become that pride, indeed, then you.
- 2:14:27Speaker 1: See how responsible that husband is. He will open doors
- 2:14:32Speaker 1: for you beyond imagination. This is my testimony, and this
- 2:14:37Speaker 1: is consistent with scripture. The things God is doing in
- 2:14:44Speaker 1: and through my life today is not necessarily a measure
- 2:14:47Speaker 1: of competence.
- 2:14:48Speaker 2: And human manipulation and skills. For no man can do
- 2:14:51Speaker 2: distincts except God be with him. There are some results
- 2:14:55Speaker 2: that are not within the realm of men. You cannot
- 2:14:57Speaker 2: have it. Accept God is with you, and you go.
- 2:15:01Speaker 1: My message to you this afternoon is that you return
- 2:15:05Speaker 1: back to the place of love and passion.
- 2:15:08Speaker 2: Some of you. That is how you started.
- 2:15:11Speaker 1: Somewhere along the line, you got distracted and you started
- 2:15:16Speaker 1: focusing on other things.
- 2:15:18Speaker 2: Reputation, you started.
- 2:15:19Speaker 1: Focusing on church ministry can be an idol. Spiritual activities
- 2:15:24Speaker 1: can become an idol, except and unless it is motivated
- 2:15:29Speaker 1: by love, and then more than being motivated by love,
- 2:15:33Speaker 1: or in addition to be motivated by love, your desire
- 2:15:37Speaker 1: must be to see Jesus glorified. John chapter three and
- 2:15:41Speaker 1: verse thirty. He was speaking with Nicodemus, and when he
- 2:15:45Speaker 1: was done, the disciples of John came to him and said,
- 2:15:49Speaker 1: look what is happening. And John made a powerful statement
- 2:15:52Speaker 1: that I may decrease so that he will increase. Please
- 2:15:56Speaker 1: look up, I'm wrapping up. I want you to look
- 2:15:58Speaker 1: at this book it everyone, please let me your attention.
- 2:16:02Speaker 1: My Bible and all that I have here is on
- 2:16:07Speaker 1: this top. This is what is carrying my Bible. So
- 2:16:11Speaker 1: as first, we are concerned when you say pulpit, this
- 2:16:14Speaker 1: is the center of focus.
- 2:16:16Speaker 2: Is that true?
- 2:16:17Speaker 1: But it is impossible for you to look at this
- 2:16:21Speaker 1: pulpit and ignore what is holding it. Are we together
- 2:16:25Speaker 1: This is how you are. Jesus Christ, who is the
- 2:16:28Speaker 1: head of the church, is the center of focus. However,
- 2:16:32Speaker 1: it is impossible to lift him and remain on the ground.
- 2:16:36Speaker 1: As you lift him, you are also lifted. John chapter
- 2:16:40Speaker 1: seventeen and verse one. Jesus lifted up his eyes on
- 2:16:44Speaker 1: to heaven and prayed and said, Father, the hour is come.
- 2:16:47Speaker 2: Glory fine now, thy son, that thy son may bring
- 2:16:50Speaker 2: glory onto you.
- 2:16:51Speaker 1: When your life is committed to revealing Jesus, not revealing
- 2:16:56Speaker 1: Joshua Selman, not revealing your abilities. My prayer every time
- 2:17:01Speaker 1: I pray and cry to God is that when people
- 2:17:04Speaker 1: see me sincerely beyond seeing a man or a celebrity
- 2:17:08Speaker 1: or whatever they call.
- 2:17:09Speaker 2: Thank God for those commendations, but I want them.
- 2:17:12Speaker 1: To see Jesus truly, to see Jesus, to see you
- 2:17:18Speaker 1: high leave terror.
- 2:17:22Speaker 2: You are shining in.
- 2:17:24Speaker 3: The light of your gl.
- 2:17:27Speaker 1: Pour out your power and love, sweezing, Holy, Holy, Holy.
- 2:17:35Speaker 2: Man of God.
- 2:17:37Speaker 1: Bury your reputation behind the cross, Bury your desire for
- 2:17:41Speaker 1: fame and self agradizement before behind the cross. When your
- 2:17:47Speaker 1: life becomes all about Jesus, to love him, to save him,
- 2:17:52Speaker 1: to reveal him, and to glorify him. Then every other
- 2:17:57Speaker 1: activity becomes a worthy too. Your man now becomes a
- 2:18:01Speaker 1: worthy too, your Bible study becomes a worthy too.
- 2:18:05Speaker 2: You're singing becomes a worthy too. Only and that toalent.
- 2:18:10Speaker 2: Are you in ministry motivated by love?
- 2:18:15Speaker 1: Intended to see Jesus revealed and Jesus glorified. Whether it
- 2:18:19Speaker 1: is true singing, whether it is true marriage, whether it
- 2:18:23Speaker 1: is true business, whether it is true giving. You can
- 2:18:26Speaker 1: give to the church, and all you are doing is
- 2:18:28Speaker 1: political donation that is not ministry.
- 2:18:31Speaker 2: That is just. And now seeing yourself using.
- 2:18:33Speaker 1: The house of God, you can be in the welfare department,
- 2:18:38Speaker 1: running up and down. And as far as God is concerned,
- 2:18:42Speaker 1: you were not in church. And you said, how can
- 2:18:44Speaker 1: you say I was not in church.
- 2:18:45Speaker 2: I was up and doing. It's even because of me
- 2:18:48Speaker 2: that there's something for the ministers to eat. The motivation
- 2:18:52Speaker 2: was never out of love for Jesus. Please keep this
- 2:18:56Speaker 2: simple definition and let this be wor to land this afternoon.
- 2:19:01Speaker 2: So next time you say you are in ministry, if
- 2:19:04Speaker 2: you think you are ministry.
- 2:19:05Speaker 1: Just because you carry a title of pastor or apostle
- 2:19:09Speaker 1: or prophet by the authority of Scripture and telling you
- 2:19:12Speaker 1: you are not in ministry. Or if you think you
- 2:19:14Speaker 1: are in ministry because of many invitations, you are wrong.
- 2:19:19Speaker 1: If you think you are in ministry because you have
- 2:19:21Speaker 1: a crowd of people listening to you. That may be
- 2:19:25Speaker 1: well intentioned, but you are still wrong. If you think
- 2:19:28Speaker 1: you are ministry because you are.
- 2:19:29Speaker 2: Growing material, blessings are coming.
- 2:19:32Speaker 1: If you think you are ministry because you are dishing
- 2:19:35Speaker 1: out the world of God with power and grace, or
- 2:19:38Speaker 1: praying or fasting, you are not in ministry, ladies and gentlemen.
- 2:19:43Speaker 1: The biblical index for measuring ministry, I repeat, is your
- 2:19:47Speaker 1: love for Jesus and your desire to see him lifted
- 2:19:52Speaker 1: and glorified full stop.
- 2:19:54Speaker 2: Any other thing is of the devil. Apostle.
- 2:20:06Speaker 1: God led me to give three million error one million
- 2:20:10Speaker 1: error five.
- 2:20:11Speaker 2: Million ERA for this program.
- 2:20:13Speaker 1: Congratulations, But before that giving becomes ministry. Thank you for
- 2:20:17Speaker 1: the money, But let us check what was the motivation
- 2:20:22Speaker 1: behind it. I love Jesus with all my heart, and
- 2:20:26Speaker 1: it is an honor to be a contributor to.
- 2:20:28Speaker 2: What he's doing. Now to what end is it so
- 2:20:32Speaker 2: that they will know you are a rich man or
- 2:20:35Speaker 2: to see that you're a big man. That is politics,
- 2:20:38Speaker 2: not ministry.
- 2:20:40Speaker 1: Apostle Joshua Salman has come into a nogo all my
- 2:20:44Speaker 1: preaching revelation, It doesn't matter who fell down, who rolled
- 2:20:47Speaker 1: on the floor, who was healed from the realm of
- 2:20:49Speaker 1: the spirit.
- 2:20:50Speaker 2: Nobody will clap for you for that.
- 2:20:52Speaker 1: They will now pass everything through the lens of the
- 2:20:56Speaker 1: purity of God's word.
- 2:20:58Speaker 2: What motivated he is coming to go as.
- 2:21:01Speaker 1: Part of his spiritual adventure to expand influence?
- 2:21:05Speaker 2: Nonsense? You only wasted your time? Isaire was already preaching
- 2:21:10Speaker 2: when there was a call in heaven? Who shall we said?
- 2:21:14Speaker 2: Can you imagine that.
- 2:21:20Speaker 1: Forever my desire has remained and will always be by
- 2:21:24Speaker 1: God's Christ. Listen, if you have any prayer that you
- 2:21:27Speaker 1: pray for me in the secret place beyond praying for power,
- 2:21:30Speaker 1: Oh God, expand him. Thank God for those prayers, Let
- 2:21:33Speaker 1: them come later. If I have any prayer requests in
- 2:21:36Speaker 1: my life, is this one prayer request that my love
- 2:21:39Speaker 1: for Jesus will remain intact and that my desire will
- 2:21:43Speaker 1: always and remain to glorify Him, whether expansion comes, whether
- 2:21:48Speaker 1: influence comes. That is those things as secondary, even tertiary.
- 2:21:54Speaker 2: Are you ready to pray?
- 2:22:04Speaker 1: But you see, when you get to this state in
- 2:22:06Speaker 1: the spirit. Stand back and see what God begins to
- 2:22:10Speaker 1: do in your life. You will command power in dimensions
- 2:22:15Speaker 1: that will surprise you. You will command influence. You will
- 2:22:18Speaker 1: lay on gold as dust. Believe me, I know what
- 2:22:22Speaker 1: I'm saying. Indeed, I as not seen nor ear heard.
- 2:22:27Speaker 1: Neither has it come into the heart of man what
- 2:22:31Speaker 1: God has in stove for them that love Him past
- 2:22:34Speaker 1: us in Enugo Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in Enugo.
- 2:22:39Speaker 1: This is the Spirit of God speaking to you this afternoon.
- 2:22:42Speaker 1: There are many of us who need to repent. Some
- 2:22:45Speaker 1: of you after this conference you need to start your
- 2:22:47Speaker 1: own retreat and go back and say, God pot me.
- 2:22:51Speaker 1: I love you sincerely, but I confess that there is
- 2:22:54Speaker 1: somewhere locked up in my motivation the desire for competition.
- 2:22:59Speaker 2: Something with me is crying to be the voice in Enugo.
- 2:23:03Speaker 2: Lord throne that desire.
- 2:23:05Speaker 1: And let it be that it is you and you alone,
- 2:23:10Speaker 1: Jesus revealed, Jesus Glorified.
- 2:23:12Speaker 2: You will hear me say.
- 2:23:14Speaker 1: If that becomes the theme of your life, you are
- 2:23:16Speaker 1: a minister. Indeed, now your songs will carry power. Now
- 2:23:21Speaker 1: you're giving will carry power. Now your preaching will carry power.
- 2:23:25Speaker 2: No wonder.
- 2:23:25Speaker 1: Many of our fathers of faith can stand and just
- 2:23:29Speaker 1: bless our daddy here, can stand and just say God
- 2:23:32Speaker 1: bless you, and someone will leave with the gates of
- 2:23:35Speaker 1: his destiny opened. Because the power flows from love. The
- 2:23:39Speaker 1: power is not mechanical. You can see our fathers of
- 2:23:43Speaker 1: faith like ba bad day boy. They will stand and
- 2:23:46Speaker 1: just saying Jesus' name, May God bless you. Nothing special,
- 2:23:50Speaker 1: nothing you know, flamboyant.
- 2:23:52Speaker 2: And you will return back.
- 2:23:54Speaker 1: And we are here jumping and rapping and ranting a
- 2:23:56Speaker 1: lot of things with the corrupted motive, and.
- 2:23:59Speaker 2: We wonder, with that dissipation of energy, little or nothing
- 2:24:03Speaker 2: is happening.
- 2:24:03Speaker 1: Because love is the final gait that allows anything to
- 2:24:07Speaker 1: pass from God to you.
- 2:24:08Speaker 2: If that any gate can be manipulated.
- 2:24:12Speaker 1: But the love date is that one git that will
- 2:24:15Speaker 1: vet the purity of everything you do. And if you
- 2:24:20Speaker 1: have found one thing, your work will die with you.
- 2:24:23Speaker 1: There are we ready to pray. Let's take a few
- 2:24:26Speaker 1: minutes to pray. Don't be distracted whilst you are seated
- 2:24:30Speaker 1: or standing whatever position. There are two prayer points to pray,
- 2:24:35Speaker 1: and then we're done. Prepare for the night.
- 2:24:38Speaker 2: The first prayer I say repentance, prayer, Say prayer of repentance, repentance, prayer.
- 2:24:45Speaker 1: If I cherished the iniquity in my heart, the Lord
- 2:24:47Speaker 1: would not have heard me. And then the Bible says,
- 2:24:51Speaker 1: if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves
- 2:24:54Speaker 1: and the truth is not in us. But if we
- 2:24:56Speaker 1: confess our save, the Bible says God is faithful and
- 2:24:59Speaker 1: just to forgive us. We're going to cry and say, Lord,
- 2:25:02Speaker 1: forgive me for the corruption that has motivated what I
- 2:25:07Speaker 1: do that I call ministry great or small, I repent.
- 2:25:11Speaker 1: Go ahead and pray. Let it be from the depth
- 2:25:14Speaker 1: of your heart. Let it be from the depth of
- 2:25:18Speaker 1: your heart. Let it be from the depth of your heart.
- 2:25:24Speaker 3: About you. It's all about you.
- 2:25:31Speaker 5: It's all about you, Jesus.
- 2:25:36Speaker 3: It's all about you. It's all about you.
- 2:25:45Speaker 2: It's all about you. Jesus.
- 2:25:49Speaker 1: Help me, Oh God, someone's praying. Cast that golden crown
- 2:25:55Speaker 1: and cry to your maker, Lord, touch my motive? What
- 2:25:59Speaker 1: has led me to pray? What has led me to first?
- 2:26:04Speaker 1: What has led me to study the Bible? What has
- 2:26:07Speaker 1: led me to listen to messages online? Am I just
- 2:26:11Speaker 1: accumulating revelations so that I would be a man of
- 2:26:13Speaker 1: God with power?
- 2:26:15Speaker 2: Or do I truly love Jesus?
- 2:26:20Speaker 1: What is the.
- 2:26:20Speaker 2: Motivation behind my evangelism?
- 2:26:23Speaker 5: Is it just more members.
- 2:26:26Speaker 2: Or to see the heart of the Father pleased?
- 2:26:31Speaker 1: Why are we organizing the conferences that we organize.
- 2:26:35Speaker 2: Why are we organizing the conventions?
- 2:26:38Speaker 1: Why are we organizing church service, midweek service, prayer meetings?
- 2:26:42Speaker 5: What are we really looking for?
- 2:26:57Speaker 2: Alle luyah? Just one more minute to a wrap you up?
- 2:27:05Speaker 3: I love you, Lord.
- 2:27:07Speaker 2: It's an old song, and I.
- 2:27:12Speaker 3: Leave my hands to wordship you.
- 2:27:20Speaker 2: Oh my soul, read Jones, take joy.
- 2:27:27Speaker 3: My king.
- 2:27:30Speaker 2: In and what you.
- 2:27:35Speaker 12: Let it be?
- 2:27:36Speaker 14: Sweet, sweet sound in the name of Jesus Father.
- 2:27:49Speaker 1: This is a moment of sober reflection, a moment of
- 2:27:53Speaker 1: sincere admitter that there are idols in our hearts, and
- 2:27:59Speaker 1: often times we found ourselves being motivated by other things
- 2:28:03Speaker 1: other than our love for Jesus and a desire to
- 2:28:07Speaker 1: see him lifted. But after this morning service, we pray
- 2:28:12Speaker 1: that you are lifted in our hearts in the name
- 2:28:15Speaker 1: of Jesus.
- 2:28:17Speaker 2: It is our prayer, Oh God, that you be lifted above.
- 2:28:25Speaker 5: Lord.
- 2:28:28Speaker 3: We lay our crowd and were how glorious one we
- 2:28:43Speaker 3: prayed your name.
- 2:28:48Speaker 14: We lay our proud.
- 2:28:52Speaker 17: And sing it for the last time, All Glorious God,
- 2:28:58Speaker 17: all Hell loiasca, we pray, we lay clown.
- 2:29:19Speaker 2: Amen.
- 2:29:20Speaker 1: As you come tonight, please do well to come with
- 2:29:25Speaker 1: your prayer requests. Let's come and trust the God of
- 2:29:28Speaker 1: Wonders to visit us tonight. I want you to come
- 2:29:32Speaker 1: with your heart open, ready to receive graces and mantles.
- 2:29:36Speaker 2: I'm going to be.
- 2:29:37Speaker 1: Sharing with you something very powerful tonight, and then will
- 2:29:41Speaker 1: have the opportunity to pray for the sick and speak
- 2:29:44Speaker 1: over your life, but more importantly, to impart upon you
- 2:29:50Speaker 1: that grace that moves you.
- 2:29:52Speaker 2: To the next dimension in the spirity. And I pray
- 2:29:55Speaker 2: that God will show us messing. In the name of
- 2:29:58Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, God bless you.
