• 0:01
  Hallelujah, celebrate Jesus, the King of Kings.
• 0:05
  The one who was dead, but now is alive, seated and exalted
• 0:10
  forever. Would you lift your hands to
• 0:11
  heaven If you believe that song, turn it into prayer.
• 0:15
  Truly, every other God is an idol.
• 0:20
  They've been tested through history, They've been tested by
• 0:22
  the Word, and they've been found wanting.
• 0:26
  Elijah gave them time. From.
• 0:28
  Morning till evening and they could not bring deliverance, but
• 0:33
  the Bible says at midnight Paul and Silas they prayed to this
• 0:38
  one true living God they called upon.
• 0:41
  Him and immediately he answered with an earthquake and brought
• 0:45
  deliverance. Would you lift your hands and
• 0:48
  acknowledge the God who answers prayer seated at the right hand
• 0:53
  of the Father, exalted forever? It's become the basis of our
• 1:00
  confidence. We know he's alive.
• 1:04
  We know he's all powerful. We know he's all wise.
• 1:13
  Give him praise. Now ask him to visit you tonight
• 1:29
  to give you a. Marvelous encounter.
• 1:32
  By His word you had the testimonies of transformation
• 1:37
  upon encountering God's Word. Radical transformation.
• 1:45
  Someone pray. Declare your expectation as you
• 1:48
  prepare yourself to be changed tonight.
• 2:06
  Thank you Jesus, blessed be your name.
• 2:15
  In Jesus mighty name we pray. In Jesus marvelous name we pray.
• 2:24
  Father, we're gathered tonight trusting and believing that as
• 2:27
  always, you will visit us. We'll never get familiar with
• 2:31
  your presence. It's an honor and a privilege to
• 2:33
  be in your presence. That's our place of strength.
• 2:38
  That's our place of wisdom. That's our place of growth.
• 2:42
  That's where we find hope. That's where we pour out our
• 2:46
  heart, knowing that we're crying to a Father who hears.
• 2:51
  Thank you because your presence has become for us an Oasis in
• 2:56
  the desert. It's where we find comfort in a
• 2:59
  dry and weary land. Thank you for the gift of Your
• 3:03
  presence tonight. It is unto you that we are
• 3:06
  gathered, and we pray that by the ministry of Your Word, by
• 3:11
  the leadership of Your Spirit resting upon, determine hearts,
• 3:16
  change us, build us, heal us, restore us, deliver us,
• 3:22
  transform us, raise us, equip us, empower us, until we become
• 3:29
  reflections of the Christ. We submit to your wisdom
• 3:33
  tonight, be glorified in Jesus, much less name.
• 3:37
  We pray, give Jesus a big hand, clap like you're victorious and
• 3:43
  then you may please be seated. God bless you.
• 3:46
  Good evening everybody, God bless you, God bless you, God
• 3:50
  bless you. God is said to do us good
• 3:52
  tonight. Let your heart be expectant in
• 3:55
  Jesus name, Amen and Amen. I was glad when they said unto
• 4:01
  me, the Bible declares, let us go to the House of the Lord,
• 4:05
  because in the House of the Lord we find wisdom like I prayed, we
• 4:09
  find life, we find hope, we find encouragement, we find comfort,
• 4:18
  we find light, we find victory. All these and more will be your
• 4:23
  experience tonight in Jesus name, Amen and Amen.
• 4:28
  I want to especially thank all those who are connected across
• 4:31
  the globe and are following from nation to nation, city to city.
• 4:35
  Always a joy to bring you the wisdom of God, to bring you the
• 4:39
  life and the power of God. Brace up for another encounter
• 4:44
  tonight in Jesus matchless name. As always, just a few functions
• 4:49
  and then we'll get straight to the ministry of the world.
• 4:54
  Next week, by the grace of God, will be a miracle service for
• 4:56
  the month of October. Always celebrate when we make
• 5:00
  announcements like this because it means that someone's life is
• 5:05
  changing. Someone's healing has finally
• 5:07
  come. Someone's deliverance
• 5:10
  breakthrough has finally come in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 5:14
  So please invite every other person aside from you.
• 5:17
  You're not invited. You should invite others,
• 5:20
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
• 5:24
  Do the work of an evangelist, make sure as many who are able
• 5:28
  to make it on site and online. Let's together rejoice and
• 5:32
  celebrate the God of wonders. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 5:37
  Now this is from the public relations department and I
• 5:40
  relate it very quickly. This is as touching our
• 5:44
  forthcoming convention. By the way, we're 30 days to the
• 5:48
  convention, looks like a long time, but you blink your eye and
• 5:53
  find out that we're just a knight to the convention.
• 5:56
  Are you happy about that? Give Jesus praise now.
• 6:00
  This is particularly to all those who live outside of the
• 6:06
  Abuja metropolis and possibly outside of Nigeria.
• 6:10
  This is officially from our Public Relations department and
• 6:14
  they are urging all our participants and all those who
• 6:17
  plan to be attendees of this conference to please make sure
• 6:22
  that they access our official web page, Koinonia General
• 6:27
  Assembly asoneword.com. That is our official web page
• 6:34
  for the convention. Therein you'll find every
• 6:37
  official detail needed to make your coming and your stay and
• 6:41
  even your departure seamless. You will find their resources
• 6:46
  that guide you as far as accommodation, feeding options
• 6:51
  and any other aid you might need.
• 6:54
  Now, because of the nature of what we're doing, there'll be
• 6:58
  many, many people proposing to provide help.
• 7:01
  Provide accommodation please and please any other channel you
• 7:06
  route aside from the official channel.
• 7:09
  We will not be responsible for whatever it is that happens
• 7:12
  within the time of your stay. So we have aggregated officially
• 7:18
  almost every information you may need for your comfort.
• 7:24
  We have their accommodation options, our people have done a
• 7:27
  good work going around the city and negotiating with the various
• 7:33
  Airbnb hotels that attend to various levels.
• 7:38
  And then there are also options to guide you on feeding.
• 7:42
  Those of you who are coming to stay with friends and family,
• 7:45
  that's fine. Those of you who have made or
• 7:48
  will make your private arrangements, that's fine.
• 7:50
  But I'm speaking particularly to those who need help.
• 7:53
  Help on this wise, please access our information.
• 7:56
  We don't have two sites. We don't have three sites.
• 7:59
  There's one official website and it links you to every other
• 8:04
  department that you may need guidance from, from transport to
• 8:07
  visa issues to any inquiry that you may want to make.
• 8:14
  So please take advantage of this site and do communicate same to
• 8:20
  your friends and colleagues who might be coming.
• 8:23
  Now I understand there are delegates who are coming in Mars
• 8:27
  like pastors coming with members, business people coming
• 8:31
  together, government officials. Please do well to reach our
• 8:34
  public relations department so that they can help identify you
• 8:39
  and hopefully make meaningful contributions to making your
• 8:43
  stay worth the while. And then to help also avoid you
• 8:47
  falling into the hands of fraudsters and people who may
• 8:51
  want to pray on your ignorance. The Lord will bless you as you
• 8:55
  do so in Jesus name. And for those of us who are
• 8:59
  here, please make sure you get these links across to as many
• 9:02
  who are coming, friends, family, those who are in diaspora who
• 9:06
  will be coming in so that we guide them to make the wisest
• 9:10
  decision. We do not want people to have a
• 9:13
  bad image of our nation, nor this ministry because of
• 9:18
  hitches, avoidable hitches they might face as a result of
• 9:23
  falling into wrong hands. We're doing the best that we
• 9:25
  know and we can to see to it that their stay is as seamless
• 9:30
  as possible. They are here to receive, and
• 9:33
  we're representing the nation we're representing, most
• 9:37
  importantly the Kingdom of God, and we want to be as excellent
• 9:40
  as we can. So please do cooperate with us
• 9:42
  so that we have the best and the most of our stay.
• 9:45
  Any other announcement on this wise will come next week during
• 9:50
  the Miracle Service. The second announcement closely
• 9:54
  related to this is a request from the Security and Transport
• 9:58
  Department. They're looking for volunteers
• 10:02
  not just to join the security department, but to help
• 10:05
  coordinate transport activities. Like I told you the last time,
• 10:09
  we're not only building a private system for
• 10:13
  transportation, we're also helping to liaise with some of
• 10:19
  the, you know, town service so that we get them close to us.
• 10:23
  So that after each service or each session, it makes it easy
• 10:27
  for people to make their way back to their respective homes
• 10:30
  or anywhere they might want to rest.
• 10:33
  So they are looking for hands. I'm not sure if there's any QR
• 10:36
  code or any link. OK, beautiful.
• 10:38
  So transport volunteers, you'll find more details when you scan
• 10:44
  the QR code. That includes drivers, that
• 10:47
  includes those who have experience.
• 10:49
  Probably you work with the Nigerian Union of Rd. transport
• 10:53
  workers. You'll be needed on this wise.
• 10:55
  Please do well to scan the QR code and you'll be guided to
• 10:58
  select how they would wish that you participate.
• 11:02
  But they are requesting for more hands.
• 11:04
  So those of you who are skilled, you have the grace, you have the
• 11:08
  wherewithal, but you are not yet part of any department or any
• 11:13
  units. Please take advantage of this.
• 11:15
  You might be a great blessing not only to us, but to the many
• 11:18
  who will be attending. The Lord bless you and increase
• 11:22
  you as you do so. In the name of Jesus, Amen and
• 11:27
  Amen by God's grace from the Miracle service Sunday who
• 11:34
  officially begin publicity within the town and within the
• 11:39
  city already online. Our media people have been doing
• 11:43
  an excellent job. I think we should celebrate them
• 11:45
  for what they've been doing. They've been doing.
• 11:48
  An incredible job and want to say big thank you.
• 11:53
  Soon the bills will be up across the city and I want to say thank
• 11:58
  you to friends, partners, sons and daughters.
• 12:02
  There are people who have taken the bills already and have, you
• 12:08
  know, just put them in their cities and other people in their
• 12:12
  nations. I know at least Ghana has this
• 12:14
  already up and then probably one or two other cities.
• 12:19
  For this we are grateful, very, very grateful.
• 12:21
  Any and every contribution that makes for the success of the
• 12:26
  convention is well recognized and duly appreciated.
• 12:30
  And so I want to say thank you. Thank you so very much.
• 12:33
  Again, for those of you who want to, you know, help in whatever
• 12:38
  way that you think will be relevant to us.
• 12:41
  Do well to reach our public relations department or the
• 12:44
  protocol department, and you'll be guided to the appropriate
• 12:48
  department to channel your desire to help.
• 12:51
  For that also the Lord bless you in Jesus name.
• 12:56
  Tonight, as always, we'll be discussing the word of God and
• 13:02
  one of the greatest testimonies, or among the many testimonies
• 13:06
  that gives joy to my heart sincerely every week are the
• 13:12
  testimonies of transformation. Now I don't downplay any
• 13:16
  testimony. They're all manifestations of
• 13:19
  the hand of God, be it freedom from addiction, healings,
• 13:23
  deliverances, and all of that. But the testimonies of
• 13:27
  transformation, where God changes a man's thoughts,
• 13:31
  changes a man's understanding, and causes the man to give up
• 13:36
  believing something that is not noble, something that is not
• 13:39
  Christ like, and adopt A word compliant idea, a word compliant
• 13:45
  mindset. That's a real miracle right
• 13:48
  there, because humans are very loyal to their mindset.
• 13:53
  No matter how wrong it is, they keep holding on to it, even when
• 13:57
  they are aware that there's a nobler alternative.
• 14:00
  They usually will need the power of God helping them to break
• 14:04
  free from an old, wrong, faulty, destructive, sometimes devilish
• 14:08
  mindset and adopt A mindset, a thinking pattern that is.
• 14:13
  Pro Christ Pro Victory. You know, and so on and so
• 14:16
  forth. So when you find people testify
• 14:19
  of their transformation, it's not a testimony we should take
• 14:22
  lightly. I think in one minute we should
• 14:25
  lift our hands and just say thank you first for ourselves
• 14:28
  and for the many who have been transformed nation to nation,
• 14:32
  city to city, businessmen been transformed, preachers been
• 14:37
  transformed, leaders been raised and transformed.
• 14:41
  Are you grateful enough to join me saying thank you to Jesus for
• 14:47
  the transforming power of your Word?
• 14:49
  We say thank you. Your ability to change lives by
• 14:54
  communicating the wisdom of Scripture we thank.
• 14:59
  You for embracing us to disciple nations, to help them know you,
• 15:05
  to help them understand your ways, to see victory in their
• 15:09
  lives. We give you praise.
• 15:13
  In Jesus mighty name we pray. Tonight I'm going to be teaching
• 15:20
  you the implication of being backed by God.
• 15:27
  I want to show you from scripture what it means for a
• 15:33
  man to find help and find the backing of God in his life.
• 15:38
  Many of us desire to live extraordinary Christian lives,
• 15:43
  and I've taught you that the teaching ministry here in
• 15:46
  Koinonia is tailor made to producing a people who are
• 15:51
  victorious and a people who manifest dominion, inexperience.
• 15:57
  That's the goal of the teaching ministry in this House, to
• 15:59
  culture you through the ministry of the world and the ministry of
• 16:04
  the Holy Spirit to become a victorious version of yourself,
• 16:09
  a version that loves Jesus, a version that is free from fear,
• 16:14
  fear that comes through ignorance, fear that comes
• 16:17
  through uncertainty. To help you know, understand and
• 16:21
  gain mastery as far as the laws of the Kingdom are concerned.
• 16:27
  And tonight will be 1 of such discussions.
• 16:31
  I'm trusting that God will help us to see what it means and to
• 16:36
  understand the implication of being backed by God.
• 16:39
  I'll be teaching on a topic I titled Sent by God, Sent by God.
• 16:46
  I want to show you from this teaching what happens when God
• 16:50
  backs a man, when God backs a people, when God backs a vision,
• 16:56
  when God is behind the progress of men.
• 16:59
  I want us to examine from Scripture, because this is my
• 17:02
  desire for you, that from today. It will be evident before
• 17:08
  everyone that you are not alone. It will be evident before
• 17:12
  everyone that there is an invisible but mighty hand behind
• 17:17
  your life. Who is receiving this as a
• 17:19
  prophetic word. By this teaching, tonight I
• 17:21
  divorce you officially from an ordinary life in the name of
• 17:28
  Jesus, a life that is always common, a life that is mediocre,
• 17:33
  a life that is uncertain. Be free from that kind of living
• 17:37
  in Jesus name. I welcome you officially into a
• 17:41
  realm of extraordinary living, a realm of supernatural living
• 17:47
  where your life becomes an unending testimony in the name
• 17:51
  of Jesus that people discuss your life and people who are led
• 17:56
  to Christ through the Excellency of your results.
• 17:59
  You believe that say Amen sent by God.
• 18:05
  Isaiah chapter 61 we read from verse one to three.
• 18:09
  Let's put a foundation of one or two or three scriptures.
• 18:14
  The Spirit of the Lord is upon. Me, because the Lord hath
• 18:18
  anointed me to preach good tidings to the meek.
• 18:22
  Then the Bible says he had sent me, sent me to bind up the
• 18:28
  broken hearted. I didn't just desire to bind the
• 18:32
  broken hearted, I was sent, sent to bind the broken hearted to
• 18:36
  proclaim liberty to the captives and opening of the prison to
• 18:40
  them that are bound. Verse 2.
• 18:43
  Still sent to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and
• 18:47
  the day of vengeance of our God. Sent to comfort all that mourn
• 18:53
  the street. Sent to appoint unto them that
• 18:57
  morning in Zion. Sent to give them beauty for
• 19:01
  ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of.
• 19:04
  Praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they might be
• 19:08
  called the trees of righteousness, the planting of
• 19:11
  the Lord, that He might be glorified.
• 19:14
  Second Scripture, John chapter one who reads six and seven.
• 19:18
  It's a popular scripture in this house.
• 19:20
  John 167 there was a man sent from God.
• 19:27
  At the end of this teaching, you will turn that Scripture to I am
• 19:30
  that man sent from God. Are you prophesying it already?
• 19:36
  I am that man sent from God. Say it again, I am that.
• 19:41
  Man. Send from God.
• 19:44
  Hallelujah. At the end of this teaching,
• 19:47
  someone will say, I am that banker sent from God.
• 19:50
  I am that prophet sent from God. I am that mother sent from God.
• 19:55
  I am that businessman sent from God, that career person sent
• 19:59
  from God. I am that.
• 20:01
  Apostle sent from God. If I'm describing you shout
• 20:04
  Amen. Let's finish it up.
• 20:06
  John 167 There was a man sent from God whose name was John.
• 20:12
  The same came for a witness to be a witness of the light that
• 20:17
  men through him might believe. The third scripture John 17 and
• 20:23
  18 will read from Amplified, please.
• 20:26
  John 1718 amplified just as you sent.
• 20:31
  Me into the world, he said. I have also sent them into the
• 20:36
  world. Can we look at Amplified
• 20:38
  Classic? This one of the amplified
• 20:41
  renditions say commissioned. It uses the word Commission.
• 20:47
  Oh dear. My amplified says just as you
• 20:50
  sent and commissioned them into the world.
• 20:53
  So I have sent and commissioned them.
• 20:56
  But let's really let's make do with what we have.
• 20:58
  We read again, John 1718. It says, just as you sent me
• 21:02
  into the world, I have also sent them into the world.
• 21:09
  Praise the name of the Lord. It is true that God can back
• 21:13
  men. It is true that ordinary men can
• 21:17
  manifest extraordinary supernatural dimensions of
• 21:20
  grace, dimensions of wisdom, dimensions of power, dimensions
• 21:25
  of possibilities. I call them from the Bible and
• 21:29
  all through modern history and even in our days.
• 21:32
  There are men who you can trace the unmistakable hand of God
• 21:36
  upon them, and this is not limited to preachers alone.
• 21:39
  Preachers are the most visible of this man, but these
• 21:43
  manifestations, this God like dimensions of possibilities is
• 21:48
  not only hosted by men of God. There are business people,
• 21:52
  Kingdom minded business people who have demonstrated that they
• 21:56
  are not alone. They have demonstrated wisdom,
• 21:58
  they have demonstrated power, dexterity of understanding.
• 22:02
  Politicians have also not been left behind.
• 22:07
  Mothers, fathers, I mean you can mention any, any field of
• 22:12
  endeavour and you will find at least one witness who is
• 22:16
  currently demonstrating God like possibilities, levels of wisdom,
• 22:21
  levels of power, levels of help and grace, testimonies that
• 22:25
  sound like a lie, all attesting to the fact that those people
• 22:30
  have been backed up by God. I enlist you by prophecy into
• 22:34
  that, that roll call that when we begin to mention the men who
• 22:38
  have the backing of God, when we mentioned men whose lives are
• 22:42
  clear they are sent from God, your name will be enlisted to in
• 22:46
  the name of Jesus Christ. So settle it for a fact that God
• 22:50
  backs men. He really does.
• 22:52
  There are men whose lives have shown that a man can be sent
• 22:57
  from God to bless a family, to bless a community, to bless a
• 23:02
  generation. The Bible talks about Joseph
• 23:05
  when Joseph was exalted, now the Prime Minister.
• 23:09
  The Bible tells us that when his brothers came upon realizing
• 23:13
  that the one they sold had now become Lord over them, and they
• 23:17
  bowed to Him like he saw in the dream that they would, the Bible
• 23:21
  says they were so broken. And he said, no, He said, you
• 23:24
  meant it for evil, but God brought me here for good.
• 23:28
  You see that He understood that He was sent by God.
• 23:31
  He was sold by men. He was sold by greed.
• 23:36
  He moved the direction of man, selfishness.
• 23:39
  But regardless what was playing out physically, the truth is
• 23:42
  that He was sent by God from His Father's house to the place of
• 23:46
  assignment where he would become a deliverer and a preserver of
• 23:51
  God's heritage for someone. You'll be learning from this
• 23:54
  teaching tonight that the things that have happened in your life
• 23:57
  that look like you are a victim of men's jealousy.
• 24:00
  You a victim of the misdeeds of men, that in the midst of all of
• 24:06
  that you have been sent by God. The finger of God has been
• 24:09
  leading you through all the twists and the turns,
• 24:12
  explainable and unexplainable. All the same, you will find out
• 24:16
  from tonight's teaching that the wisdom of God has been
• 24:18
  navigating you through the parts of destiny you believe that
• 24:22
  shout Amen. Now I told you a quick recap
• 24:25
  that God has an agenda. God has an agenda for men,
• 24:32
  individuals. God has an agenda for families.
• 24:36
  God has an agenda for nations. The Bible is very clear as to
• 24:41
  that fact. Jeremiah 2911.
• 24:44
  I know the things, not a thing things.
• 24:47
  There are things that God thinks towards us.
• 24:51
  He says. I know the things, the thoughts
• 24:54
  that I think towards you, they are thoughts of peace and not of
• 24:59
  evil to bring you an expected end.
• 25:02
  So God has an agenda. He has an agenda for
• 25:06
  individuals, you and I. He has an agenda for families,
• 25:10
  he has an agenda for nations and territories.
• 25:14
  They all form subsets of his universal agenda to see that all
• 25:20
  men be saved and that they come on to not only the knowledge,
• 25:23
  but the fullness of the stature of Christ that all things be
• 25:27
  headed up and Christ becomes Lord of all men and all things.
• 25:31
  Inexperience. This is a summary of God's
• 25:34
  agenda, and like I taught us that every act of deliverance,
• 25:40
  every prophetic manifestation, everything God does is with
• 25:44
  respect to His agenda. It's an ongoing process,
• 25:49
  ultimately desiring to fulfill His agenda.
• 25:52
  When God prospers people, it is with respect to his agenda.
• 25:56
  When God delivers people is with respect to his agenda.
• 26:00
  There are no isolated cases of healing, deliverance, and all of
• 26:04
  that. Everything falls into a grand
• 26:08
  program, God's grand agenda. Are we together now?
• 26:13
  It's very important. And then I taught you.
• 26:16
  And then you'll be learning for some of you for the first time
• 26:18
  that God's agenda is broken into dispensations and seasons.
• 26:24
  Don't forget this. So we're establishing as a first
• 26:28
  thought that God has an agenda. That's the reason why we spend
• 26:33
  our lives and we are spent fulfilling that agenda.
• 26:37
  Are we together? I've taught you extensively on
• 26:40
  God's agenda, God's end time program.
• 26:42
  You we call it different names, but they all mean the same
• 26:45
  thing. And that that grand program is
• 26:47
  broken into subsets and that His agenda is dispensational and
• 26:53
  seasonal. That means God is not always
• 26:56
  doing the same thing. His agenda is broken into
• 26:59
  dispensational and seasonal mandates.
• 27:02
  That represents His emphasis per time and per season.
• 27:08
  There are times that God's emphasis can be deliverance.
• 27:12
  As we see in the Bible. His emphasis for the nation of
• 27:15
  Israel was not enlightenment, it was deliverance.
• 27:19
  Moses was not called a teacher. Moses was called a deliverer, so
• 27:26
  there are times where his agenda, his emphasis for a
• 27:31
  season is to deliver people. There are certain times his
• 27:35
  agenda for the people becomes their growth and their
• 27:38
  transformation. Hallelujah.
• 27:41
  There are times where God's emphasis for His people becomes
• 27:44
  giving them direction, helping them understand times and
• 27:48
  understand seasons. So God has a grand program, but
• 27:52
  His program is broken into dispensational and seasonal
• 27:56
  mandates, representing His emphasis per time and per
• 28:01
  season. And this is very important, very
• 28:04
  powerful point. I have taught us here in
• 28:06
  Koinonia that there are three levels of the anointing from a
• 28:10
  standpoint of God's program. There is the anointing that
• 28:13
  comes into a believer's life when you confess the Lordship of
• 28:17
  Jesus. This one is responsible for
• 28:20
  producing Christ like character and the inner work of
• 28:23
  transformation #2 There is the anointing that comes upon a
• 28:28
  believer to empower you for service.
• 28:31
  This comes in honor to your discovering your place in life
• 28:34
  and destiny. It comes in honor to the office
• 28:37
  that you occupy #3 there there is the third level of the
• 28:41
  anointing that comes as a reward and as an embracing for
• 28:46
  discerning what God is doing part time per season and
• 28:51
  aligning with His current doings.
• 28:53
  Across the globe. So it is possible for you to
• 28:57
  have the anointing that comes by reason of being a believer, the
• 29:01
  anointing that is upon you for service, and not have that
• 29:04
  unique and gracing because of this alignment to something God
• 29:09
  is doing currently. Hallelujah.
• 29:12
  God's agenda is dispensational. God's agenda is seasonal.
• 29:17
  I want you to know that everything Moses did, everything
• 29:21
  Elijah did, everything Gideon, Esther, everything the apostles
• 29:28
  did in partnership with what we are doing now is a straight line
• 29:33
  from Genesis leading to Revelation.
• 29:36
  Are we together now? Yes.
• 29:38
  There might be different dispensations and different
• 29:42
  emphasis, but ultimately we are all contributors towards
• 29:46
  fulfilling a grand program. Hallelujah.
• 29:50
  Yes, that's the reason why it is safe to look into history and
• 29:55
  draw a lesson because it's a straight line that connects all
• 29:58
  of us. My life should not be
• 30:02
  antagonistic to what Moses has done, Abraham has done.
• 30:06
  Rather it should be complimentary.
• 30:08
  They have done theirs and they've joined the cloud of
• 30:11
  witnesses. Now it's our time.
• 30:13
  And if Christ tarries those who come after us, it's a relay.
• 30:16
  We keep running it until you look at the picture.
• 30:19
  So let's say, for instance, that Christ tarries and there's
• 30:23
  another generation that comes when we are gone.
• 30:27
  They will not only read about Moses alone, there will be books
• 30:30
  that talk about Joshua Selman and they will put it side by
• 30:32
  side. So Moses did this.
• 30:34
  Then there was a time TL Osborne did this, and there was a time
• 30:38
  our fathers did this. And then there was a time there
• 30:40
  was a man sent from God. His name was Joshua Selman.
• 30:43
  This is what he did. Then there was a time at you see
• 30:46
  how it is? So it's not supposed to end with
• 30:49
  the characters that are in the Bible because for every
• 30:53
  dispensation, God has an emphasis.
• 30:57
  God has an emphasis. Hallelujah.
• 31:01
  Now, the second thing I want you to learn tonight very quickly,
• 31:04
  is that, and this comes as a reminder, the fulfillment of
• 31:07
  God's program in any dispensation depends on the
• 31:12
  presence of available, willing, yielded and trained vessels.
• 31:21
  The fulfillment of God's program in any dispensation that
• 31:26
  includes our time, that includes our season, depends not just on
• 31:31
  His will, depends on the presence of available, willing,
• 31:39
  yielded and trained men. 4 very important words available
• 31:46
  willing yielded untrained men. Isaiah chapter 6 and verse 18 we
• 31:53
  find for an example. The prophets, you know, haven't
• 31:56
  been cleansed, purified from every impurity within him.
• 32:00
  The seraph took the live coal and touched his tongue, and he
• 32:04
  says, your iniquity is taken away from you.
• 32:06
  Isaiah 6 and verse 8 And then he says, I also heard the voice of
• 32:11
  the Lord saying Whom shall I send and who will go for us?
• 32:18
  There are things I want to do, there are things I want to say,
• 32:22
  there are possibilities. I want to birth, I want a
• 32:25
  continuation of my program, but whom shall I send and who will
• 32:30
  go for us? Then Isaiah said here am I send
• 32:34
  me. So the fulfillment of God's
• 32:36
  program in Abuja, in Nigeria, in your family, are we together in
• 32:42
  Africa, across the globe in this dispensation will depend on the
• 32:47
  presence of available willing, yielded untrained vessels.
• 32:54
  Now I wrote here, every man can be used by God and in fact
• 32:59
  should be used by God, but unfortunately not everyone will
• 33:05
  be used by God. Every man can be used by God.
• 33:10
  Every man in fact, should be used by God in their lifetime to
• 33:15
  birth his purposes. But the sad reality is that not
• 33:19
  everyone will be used by God. You write and listen very
• 33:23
  careful, very simple statement, but is profound that in in
• 33:29
  appreciating the fact that God will always need men, men who
• 33:33
  are available, willing, yielded and then trained.
• 33:38
  Every man can be used by God. That includes you and I.
• 33:42
  It is God's ultimate desire that every man should be used by God.
• 33:47
  But the reality sadly so is that not everyone will be used by
• 33:52
  God. And the reason is because there
• 33:55
  are demands to being used by God.
• 33:58
  There are demands. It takes beyond availability.
• 34:02
  It takes beyond willingness when you declare your desire to be
• 34:06
  used by God. There are demands.
• 34:09
  Being used by God ultimately is the work of grace.
• 34:13
  But then there are demands, and some of those demands are quite
• 34:18
  burdensome. They will cost you.
• 34:20
  I'll list a few of them for you in no particular order, but
• 34:24
  there are demands. And it's important that we know
• 34:27
  that there are demands. So the reason why you find out
• 34:30
  that in every generation there probably may just be a handful
• 34:33
  of men, a handful of women who do so much exploits for the
• 34:39
  Kingdom. We write about them, others even
• 34:42
  write about them, we sing about them.
• 34:46
  We are inspired by their lives. Sometimes we build monuments in
• 34:50
  honor of and to their exploits. Whereas in God's mind, everybody
• 34:56
  should be a battle axe, everybody should be used by God
• 35:01
  towards this Kingdom come agenda.
• 35:03
  But because there are demands, I think it's one thing that most
• 35:09
  believers fail to understand that it takes beyond a desire to
• 35:13
  be used by God to be used by God.
• 35:16
  You can come as you are, but you are not used as you are.
• 35:20
  There are demands. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 35:23
  Sometimes when you are applying for a job, they'll tell you very
• 35:28
  clearly that this and that and that job, there's vacancy, say
• 35:33
  for a driver or a secretary or whatever it is.
• 35:36
  So they tell you the job. Sometimes they go ahead to even
• 35:39
  list the opportunity, very juicy opportunities, reward systems,
• 35:43
  salary structures and all of that.
• 35:46
  And just when you are about to be tempted to write the now on
• 35:49
  the other side of the application, they list for you,
• 35:51
  very clearly there are demands. And some of you, as soon as you
• 35:56
  see the demands, you just know that all there.
• 35:58
  As much as I like this job, I like the salary.
• 36:02
  I like the idea of 500,000 per month or 1,000,000 per month.
• 36:06
  I like the idea of paying two months by December as a bonus.
• 36:11
  I like the, I like all of those, but there are demands.
• 36:15
  Sometimes they may ask you, you must have a certain grade level
• 36:18
  or a certain academic qualification.
• 36:20
  Are we together or a certain kind of experience?
• 36:23
  Or you must be willing to make this kind of sacrifice.
• 36:27
  And that demand immediately begins to prune people.
• 36:31
  You can find out that out of 5000 applications, they end up
• 36:35
  taking just 10 or 15. What was the difference?
• 36:38
  That many people could not meet that demand.
• 36:41
  This is how it is in the Spirit. So many times you find people
• 36:45
  who are completely disinterested in spiritual things.
• 36:48
  Those ones belong to one category.
• 36:51
  Then among those who want to be used by God, they truly admire
• 36:56
  those who are being used by God and they hope they can get
• 36:59
  enlisted. And God desires them so.
• 37:01
  Except that when the demands are now put forth before them, they
• 37:05
  just fold away and say, no, I can't take this.
• 37:08
  If this is what it takes to carry the anointing, if this is
• 37:11
  what it takes to secure the backing of heaven, this is what
• 37:14
  it takes to be a voice to a generation, then I'm not
• 37:17
  interested. I'm praying for you for grace to
• 37:19
  not only embrace the call, but embrace the demands.
• 37:24
  Again, I'm praying for you from my heart that you will not just
• 37:27
  embrace the calls and the privileges that come with being
• 37:31
  used by God, but that you will be willing to pass through the
• 37:34
  demands that furnish you and make you a vessel that is on to
• 37:38
  honor you. Believe that and you're
• 37:40
  receiving a shout. Amen.
• 37:43
  Hallelujah. So God has an agenda.
• 37:45
  He has a program that is a grand program broken into seasonal and
• 37:50
  dispensational mandates that represent His emphasis per time,
• 37:55
  per season #2 men have always been God's channel for birthing
• 38:00
  His purposes across the earth and across every dispensation.
• 38:05
  Now #3 there are demands. Second Peter one and verse 10
• 38:09
  there are demands I want to list for you just a few in no
• 38:13
  particular order, where for the rather he says, brethren, give
• 38:18
  diligence to make your calling and your election show.
• 38:24
  Give all diligence in fact, to make your calling and to make
• 38:29
  your election show. For if he do these things, you
• 38:32
  shall never fall. You know what the Bible says
• 38:34
  here that it is your responsibility to work in
• 38:37
  partnership with all the resources that God has made
• 38:41
  available Are we together to stop men from doubting the
• 38:45
  validity of your call men have a right to doubt that God is with
• 38:50
  you men have a right to doubt are we together the validity of
• 38:54
  your person, whether in ministry, whether in what in in
• 38:58
  any field at. All.
• 38:59
  You work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, and by
• 39:04
  doing so you dispel doubts and fears and all kinds of things
• 39:08
  until people come to a point where Galatians 124 becomes your
• 39:12
  experience. They can glorify God in you,
• 39:16
  seeing that of a truth you have made full.
• 39:19
  Proof. Of your ministry, Hallelujah.
• 39:25
  Many times people reach me and sometimes they do so sincerely
• 39:29
  and they say, apostle. I love the Lord, particularly
• 39:32
  for men of God. I'm a nice person.
• 39:34
  I love these people, but I don't know why people don't believe in
• 39:37
  me. I get so pained.
• 39:38
  I organize a program. They don't come sometimes even
• 39:42
  those who are close to me. And I told him, I said it's not
• 39:45
  an attack. That's how everybody starts.
• 39:48
  It's not a unique attack to you. Nobody starts by being believed.
• 39:53
  You walk yourself to that realm. Nobody starts by being believed.
• 39:59
  Nobody starts by being received. Is someone learning now?
• 40:02
  So the idea that people don't believe in you, the idea that
• 40:05
  people don't like you, or the idea that people are not
• 40:09
  favorably dispensed towards you. It is the way men treat
• 40:12
  strangers by default. It is up to you now to engage
• 40:17
  the mysteries of the Kingdom, to prove through your life, making
• 40:21
  your calling and your election sure.
• 40:24
  By so doing, you dispel doubters.
• 40:27
  You begin to rewrite, you recalibrate the perception of
• 40:31
  people about you. And at the end of it, those who
• 40:34
  used to be your greatest adversaries may even become your
• 40:37
  greatest allies. It is your responsibility who is
• 40:40
  learning already. Sometimes we just feel by
• 40:43
  default, because I'm a Christian, people should like
• 40:46
  me. I'm a man of God.
• 40:47
  I'm a man of character. I work in holiness and
• 40:50
  righteousness. I love the Lord.
• 40:51
  Why do people hate me? Why don't they come?
• 40:53
  Unfortunately, the world we live in, nobody will follow you
• 40:58
  without proof. Give people.
• 41:01
  Room to doubt you? Give people room.
• 41:04
  Are we together? Give them room to have their
• 41:06
  fears about you. Give them room to have their
• 41:09
  doubts about you. Don't find it uncomfortable, be
• 41:13
  very comfortable being controversial, being not
• 41:17
  understood, be not believed. And then give them a chance to
• 41:21
  see God at work in your life. They get to a point where they
• 41:24
  they they put 1/2. And say, no, this one, a man
• 41:28
  cannot do this. This is the hand of God.
• 41:30
  Someone will call you who was not for you before and say I've
• 41:35
  come to the conclusion after watching you for one month, two
• 41:38
  months, three years, I have come to the conclusion that God is
• 41:42
  with you. Please come and introduce that
• 41:44
  your God to me. Someone will call a family and
• 41:48
  say we are part of those who gossiped about you.
• 41:50
  We are part of those who wish for your downfall, but right now
• 41:54
  we repent with sackcloth and ashes.
• 41:56
  Our conclusion is that God is with you, that God is with your
• 41:59
  business. Are you receiving it in Jesus
• 42:01
  name? Hallelujah.
• 42:04
  Praise the name of the Lord. When God calls you, you are the
• 42:10
  only one who hears the call. He doesn't call you in public.
• 42:14
  Don't expect people to believe you.
• 42:16
  When God gives you a mandate, you are the only one.
• 42:19
  The mandate is between you and God.
• 42:21
  It was not ten people that had Joseph's dream.
• 42:24
  It was only one person. The Bible says the brothers
• 42:27
  hated him. Three reasons why they hated him
• 42:30
  and it's the major reasons why men will hate you as far as
• 42:33
  destiny is concerned. One, they hated him because of
• 42:36
  the love of his father. The father loved him in such an
• 42:39
  enviable way. #2 They hated him because of his dreams, they
• 42:45
  hated him the more the more he had the dreams the more they
• 42:49
  hated him #3 They hated him because his father gave him a
• 42:53
  coat of many colors. These are the major reasons why
• 42:57
  men will hate you. There is a way God can show you
• 43:00
  love. People say are you the only one?
• 43:03
  There is a way God can make you multi talented, multi gifted.
• 43:06
  It's like you are an all rounder.
• 43:08
  That thing produces annoyance in the world of men and sometimes
• 43:15
  they hate you because of your dreams.
• 43:18
  This was the case with Joseph. It would be stupid for Joseph.
• 43:22
  Did you know that even Jacob, his father, upon narrating the
• 43:26
  dream, particularly the one that had to do with the sun, the moon
• 43:29
  and 11 stars bowing. Jacob now looked at him and
• 43:32
  said, my young son, I love you so personally, but you are
• 43:34
  becoming naughty. This your dreams are suggesting
• 43:37
  on seriousness here. Are you saying myself as your
• 43:40
  father, I will one day bow to you?
• 43:43
  I can imagine the young Joseph said I'm just narrating my dream
• 43:45
  is that I went to bed. I went to bed and I had the
• 43:49
  dream. Are you saying that I and your
• 43:52
  mother and your brethren will one day bow ourselves to you
• 43:55
  upon the earth? But did they do it or not?
• 44:00
  Hallelujah. Now listen, don't just say they
• 44:02
  did it. My question is when You know how
• 44:05
  long it took for that dream to come to pass and you're already
• 44:10
  complaining. Two months after your dream.
• 44:13
  Two months and you're saying, God, are you faithful?
• 44:15
  This, this your thing? I'm beginning to doubt it.
• 44:18
  You are the first person doubting your own dream.
• 44:23
  Hallelujah. But the fact is there are
• 44:27
  demands. There are demands, non
• 44:29
  negotiable demands. I'll give you a few of them.
• 44:32
  Number one, the first demand, if you truly want to be used by God
• 44:38
  to speak His purposes across a generation, and that is not
• 44:42
  limited to preachers, I'm talking about dispensational
• 44:46
  weaknesses. The first demand is total
• 44:49
  surrender to the will of God. Total surrender to the will of
• 44:53
  God. Luke 2242 The one who will do
• 44:57
  much for the Kingdom, the one who will be mightily and
• 45:01
  marvelously used by God in any dispensation in any generation,
• 45:06
  is one who will and must be willing to lay down everything
• 45:10
  to embrace the will of God above and beyond your will.
• 45:14
  Jesus as a case study, this is him praying and saying, Father
• 45:18
  if thou be willing, he says, remove this cop from me.
• 45:22
  The cop here represents the assignment, the task.
• 45:25
  He says nevertheless not my will but thine be done.
• 45:30
  Someone say your will be done in my life.
• 45:33
  You're talking to God now say Father, your will be done in my
• 45:38
  life. This statement sounds very
• 45:41
  simple when you are just reciting it.
• 45:44
  Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, it's not only Satan
• 45:46
  that has a stubborn spirit. The human spirit is really
• 45:49
  stubborn, very stubborn. It takes the hand of God to bend
• 45:55
  a man to the will of God. It is very difficult for a man
• 45:59
  to give up his will and embrace the will of God.
• 46:02
  In fact, truly, I do not believe any man.
• 46:05
  Has the power to give up His will and embrace the will of
• 46:09
  God. You just give God room.
• 46:12
  He will break you and breath his will through you.
• 46:17
  Is someone learning? Yes to your will, Lord, Yes to
• 46:23
  your ways? Oh yes Lord we've lobe.
• 46:33
  Yes to your will, Lord, yes to your ways.
• 46:47
  The demand. Of.
• 46:49
  Total surrender to the will of God.
• 46:52
  Any great name you call that compels admiration in the
• 46:56
  Kingdom, you are only calling a name that has given up their
• 47:00
  personal agenda, given up the things they would have desired
• 47:04
  to do with themselves and their lives.
• 47:06
  History is full of men and women who had a very organized life
• 47:11
  for themselves. And don't get me wrong, God's
• 47:13
  goal is not to come and disrupt your life, but truly is His goal
• 47:17
  to disrupt your life. What I mean is that the goal is
• 47:21
  not to produce a failure, but the goal is to re edit and
• 47:25
  rearrange your life and cause all things to line up to His
• 47:29
  will and His purposes for you. Man by default, unassisted by
• 47:34
  God, will usually follow a path that leads to destruction.
• 47:38
  It is not usual for a man unassisted by God to follow the
• 47:42
  path that leads him to his destiny, because the path to
• 47:45
  every man's destiny is rough. Hear me, hear me again.
• 47:49
  The path to any man's destiny is rough.
• 47:53
  There are no smooth roads going anywhere worth going.
• 47:58
  The path to any glorious destiny is full of mountains and
• 48:03
  challenges and obstacles and discouraging seasons and
• 48:07
  moments. And if God were to give you a
• 48:10
  chance to choose by yourself, the truth is that most people
• 48:13
  will not go there. That's why when God wants to
• 48:16
  guide people towards. Destiny.
• 48:18
  He never shows them the road, He shows them the end.
• 48:21
  He just tells you, this is where I'm taking you.
• 48:24
  Are you interested? You say, Lord, with all my
• 48:26
  heart. He says, let's go.
• 48:28
  And usually the first few months it will sound very nice, like it
• 48:31
  happened for Joseph, a coat of many colors, great dreams.
• 48:36
  Then he's given an opportunity to go and feed his brothers.
• 48:39
  I'm sure he'll say, my God, this grace called.
• 48:41
  Favor, that is of me. I mean, Can you imagine?
• 48:44
  These guys are there in the sun and I'm here just taking a meal
• 48:48
  and then they say here comes the dreamer.
• 48:51
  We're not talking of enemies, we're talking of his brothers.
• 48:54
  As soon as they saw him, they said, that's right, here comes
• 48:57
  the dreamer. Now let's walk together and pick
• 48:59
  him up. They conspired to slay him.
• 49:03
  The Bible did not say they were throwing him there just to kill
• 49:05
  him. They conspired to kill him and
• 49:08
  then they put him in a well. Can you imagine?
• 49:11
  You leave your home in the morning believing you have
• 49:13
  favor. By evening you are inside a
• 49:15
  well, and yet you are sent by God.
• 49:20
  Then they kill the lamb and took it to the Father and say, Ah,
• 49:24
  daddy, why did you send your beloved son?
• 49:28
  Because on the way coming, a beast attacked him.
• 49:31
  Look at this. And he grieved the heart of
• 49:34
  Jacob. Yet Joseph was in the pit.
• 49:40
  That was not one of the ways to Egypt.
• 49:42
  That was the only way for him from the pit there.
• 49:47
  One of the brothers had compassion upon him and said,
• 49:50
  you know what, He's our brother. Let's change our mind.
• 49:53
  Let's not slay him. Let's just make money out of
• 49:55
  him. You see this making money out of
• 49:56
  people. It's not just Judas.
• 49:58
  He started as a spirit. We blame Judas what we leave the
• 50:03
  brothers of Joseph. Are we together?
• 50:07
  And then they sold him. They found a caravan on its way
• 50:11
  going. The Ishmaelites were going down
• 50:13
  to Egypt. And they said let's sell him 20
• 50:16
  pieces of of shekels of silver. Let's let's sell him.
• 50:20
  And they sold him and said goodbye.
• 50:22
  Be on your way. You take what the enemy meant
• 50:26
  for evil, and you turn it for good.
• 50:30
  You turn it for good. Your pain, your losses, your
• 50:34
  sadness. You take what the enemy meant
• 50:37
  for evil, you turn it for good. I'm singing it into your spirit.
• 50:47
  You take what the enemy meant for evil, you turn it.
• 50:52
  For good, please be seated. There are demands, ladies and
• 51:00
  gentlemen, is the reason why although many want to be
• 51:03
  mightily used by God, unfortunately they do not end up
• 51:07
  being used as dispensational witnesses.
• 51:11
  They are not able to submit to the demand of total surrender to
• 51:14
  the will of God. I'll save the story of Joseph
• 51:18
  for later, but the fact is that Joseph on his own.
• 51:23
  Would never have gone to Egypt. In fact, his father would never
• 51:28
  allow him. How many of you know that
• 51:30
  sometimes love is the reason why destiny does not happen?
• 51:34
  It's not always hatred. There are times that the measure
• 51:37
  of love on you is too much. To let you fulfill destiny and
• 51:41
  so God may cut you away temporarily.
• 51:46
  It is not only hate that aborts destiny, love also aborts
• 51:50
  destiny. Jacob would never with the kind
• 51:56
  of love he had for Joseph, he would never allow him to go to
• 52:00
  Egypt. In fact, even for the sons.
• 52:02
  The only time Jacob allowed the sons as grown men to go to Egypt
• 52:08
  was when there was hunger. Genesis 42 one and two.
• 52:13
  I have heard that there is corn in Egypt and Jacob told his
• 52:16
  sons, why do we sit here looking at one another?
• 52:19
  And then verse 2 he says I've heard that there is corn.
• 52:21
  Get thee down theater and buy for us that we may eat and leave
• 52:27
  and not die. That was the only condition.
• 52:30
  Even the sons as adults, he did not allow them go there, talk
• 52:34
  less. His beloved Joseph, there are
• 52:39
  people who love you too much. They won't let you fast.
• 52:42
  They love you too much. They won't let you pray.
• 52:45
  They love you too much, they won't let you give, They love
• 52:49
  you too much, they won't let you learn the word.
• 52:51
  There are parents that love their children too much, they
• 52:54
  will not let them grow #2 The second demand you want to be
• 53:02
  used by God. The demand of submission to the
• 53:07
  making and training process, The demand of submission to the
• 53:13
  making and training process is one thing to be willing to
• 53:17
  surrender to the will of God, but then it's another thing to
• 53:21
  submit to the making and the training process.
• 53:27
  Availability is important. Willingness is important.
• 53:32
  But submitting to the making and the training process, and this
• 53:37
  is different for different people #3.
• 53:41
  What is the third demand? And that also tells us why many
• 53:48
  people are not used by God. The demand of spiritual growth
• 53:51
  and maturity. The demand of spiritual growth
• 53:55
  and maturity that is growing in the knowledge of the Word,
• 54:01
  growing in intimacy with the Holy Spirit.
• 54:04
  God cannot use a people who do not contend for growth and
• 54:08
  contend for maturity, the demand of growth and maturity.
• 54:15
  So many people want to be used by God, but they remain babes
• 54:19
  and they remain infants. And the Bible says an heir for
• 54:23
  as long as that heir is a child. Galatians one, verse 1.
• 54:26
  He differed nothing from a servant.
• 54:29
  Even though by his destiny and ordination he be Lord of all, it
• 54:34
  takes growth and it takes maturity.
• 54:38
  To be able to handle the weightier matters of the Kingdom
• 54:41
  and the matters that concern the destinies of men, spiritual
• 54:46
  maturity demands growing in the knowledge of the world, growing
• 54:50
  in doctrine, growing in your understanding of the mysteries
• 54:54
  of the Kingdom, growing in intimacy and fellowship.
• 54:58
  With the holy. Spirit, This is the third
• 55:02
  demand, and many people are unwilling to subscribe to that
• 55:05
  demand. They do not want to grow.
• 55:08
  They do not want to grow into maturity.
• 55:11
  It takes, let me tell you this, studying the word of God and
• 55:14
  learning the ways of God is labor indeed.
• 55:17
  It's not a. Gift, no matter the kind of
• 55:20
  prophetic insight you have. It is a laborious journey to
• 55:24
  open Scripture until you have a sound knowledge of the Word of
• 55:28
  God. How about the Minister of
• 55:30
  Prayer? There's no gift of prayer.
• 55:32
  There's only an embracing to help you pray.
• 55:35
  Prayer is real labor. Staying for hours.
• 55:38
  Sometimes you are sleepy, sometimes you are tired.
• 55:42
  The burden and the discipline of consistency systematizing your
• 55:47
  prayer life. How about your time spent in
• 55:50
  worship? One hour, 2 hours.
• 55:52
  You are just. Singing and pressing in his
• 55:54
  presence, that's no gift there. It's serious labor in the spirit
• 56:01
  and many people are unwilling to submit to that as a lifestyle.
• 56:08
  The demand of spiritual growth and maturity.
• 56:11
  Let me give you one more demand. The 4th demand, becoming a
• 56:16
  dispensational witness for God will demand a thorough
• 56:20
  understanding of your assignment.
• 56:24
  A thorough understanding of your assignment.
• 56:27
  You may not understand everything now, but at least the
• 56:32
  parts that is available that has been revealed to you, you must
• 56:35
  understand it. Moses.
• 56:41
  You cannot go to Egypt not knowing the full scope and
• 56:44
  import of your assignment. And so the Law takes time to
• 56:48
  meticulously teach Moses the scope of his assignment.
• 56:52
  I have seen the oppression of my people, the Bible says, by
• 56:56
  reason of their taskmasters. I have heard my their affliction
• 57:00
  and I am calm down, he says. I am calm down to bring them
• 57:04
  deliverance. And I have sent you.
• 57:07
  You are an expression of my hand.
• 57:09
  You are an instrument of deliverance.
• 57:16
  Elijah was sent to bring judgment.
• 57:20
  Elijah was sent. To bring order to the chaos and
• 57:23
  the godlessness of the day, you must understand the scope of
• 57:27
  your assignment. These, among many more, are the
• 57:33
  demands. You see the reason why although
• 57:36
  many people want to be used by God, the truth is that many will
• 57:39
  not end up being used by God. They are unwilling to submit
• 57:44
  totally. Total surrender to the will of
• 57:48
  God. They are willing to submit to
• 57:52
  the making and the training process that their unique
• 57:55
  assignments would require. They are unwilling to contend
• 57:58
  for spiritual growth and maturity.
• 58:01
  They are unwilling to understand the full scope of their
• 58:04
  assignment. Now to the core of our
• 58:07
  discussion tonight. When God sends a man, there are
• 58:13
  at least 5 evidences that validates that a man, a
• 58:19
  ministry, an organization, a people are sent by God.
• 58:24
  Anyone can claim to be sent by God, particularly in the
• 58:28
  ministry, anyone can claim I am sent by God.
• 58:32
  But there are 5 biblical evidences.
• 58:36
  If these evidences are not trapped and visible in the life
• 58:40
  of a man, then we doubt that that man was sent by God #1
• 58:48
  These are evidences that validates that a man has been
• 58:51
  sent by God to a generation, sent by God to a people, sent by
• 58:57
  God to an organization, whether as a man of God, a businessman,
• 59:01
  a career person. Number one, Are you ready?
• 59:05
  The first evidence when God truly sends a man is that there
• 59:10
  must be the evidence of spiritual maturity, especially
• 59:16
  the manifestation of the character.
• 59:19
  Of the Christ. When a man is truly sent by God
• 59:23
  to a people, sent by God to a generation, sent by God to a
• 59:28
  dispensation, there must be the evidence of spiritual maturity,
• 59:34
  especially the manifestation of the character of Christ.
• 59:39
  Romans chapter 8. Please give us from verse 6 we
• 59:42
  read down to 9 and let's read from NIV Romans chapter 8 six to
• 59:48
  nine. NIV The mind of a sinful man is
• 59:52
  death, and the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.
• 59:57
  Verse 7 The sinful mind is hostile to God.
• 1:00:01
  It says it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.
• 1:00:05
  Verse 8 it says those controlled by the sinful nature cannot
• 1:00:10
  please God. You however.
• 1:00:14
  Are controlled not by the sinful nature, but by the Spirit.
• 1:00:18
  Listen, if the Spirit of God lives in you, and if anyone does
• 1:00:23
  not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
• 1:00:31
  The proof that you belong to Christ is not just that you talk
• 1:00:35
  about Christ, but is that evidently the Spirit of Christ
• 1:00:39
  must live in you. And let me tell you this, the
• 1:00:41
  first proof that the Spirit of God lives in a man and has been
• 1:00:45
  allowed to gain supremacy over that man's life is not a
• 1:00:48
  manifestation of power. Is Christ like character?
• 1:00:51
  I've taught you this. The character of the Christ
• 1:00:55
  formed in a man revealed through a man is proof that that man has
• 1:01:00
  truly come into the experience of oneness, that he's submitted
• 1:01:04
  to the Spirit of God and by implication submitted to the
• 1:01:08
  Word of God. Are we learning now?
• 1:01:12
  Next time you say I'm sent by God, we will check for the
• 1:01:15
  evidence of Christ like character.
• 1:01:18
  Now it's a progressive journey. It does not happen overnight,
• 1:01:23
  but given ample. Time we should begin to see the
• 1:01:26
  fruit of the Spirit manifest in you.
• 1:01:29
  And I submit to you that it's at this point that many of us men
• 1:01:33
  of God and many of us people who contend for Kingdom influence,
• 1:01:37
  we fail woefully. And by so doing, we give people
• 1:01:42
  the credence to doubt our callings and our election.
• 1:01:47
  Because of the absence or the bankruptcy of Christ like
• 1:01:51
  character, we have sermons intelligently articulated.
• 1:01:55
  We have all kinds of techniques for doing.
• 1:01:58
  Ministry or you know, just carrying out our assignments.
• 1:02:02
  But most time, the closer people get to us, the more they are
• 1:02:06
  disappointed because you only look like Christ when people see
• 1:02:11
  you from afar and then the closer they get to you, they
• 1:02:14
  realize that truly the love of Christ is not there.
• 1:02:17
  Are we together? You don't look anything like
• 1:02:20
  Christ. I'm praying for someone as you.
• 1:02:23
  Listen to this teaching. That God will grant you the
• 1:02:26
  grace to submit to the work of the Holy Spirit.
• 1:02:28
  You know, I keep drumming it again.
• 1:02:31
  That work of regeneration, it's a miracle when it happens.
• 1:02:35
  To a man, the closer people get to you, the more they should
• 1:02:39
  even be surprised that half of what they thought they knew
• 1:02:42
  about you, they've not seen it. Are we together?
• 1:02:46
  That they see the love of God, they see joy, they see goodness,
• 1:02:50
  they seek kindness, the fruit of the Spirit.
• 1:02:58
  If you are sent by God, the first evidence is that the
• 1:03:02
  Spirit of God must grow you to a point of maturity, manifesting
• 1:03:07
  most visibly in your life as proof that you are matured, the
• 1:03:11
  character of the Christ. In this ministry we emphasize
• 1:03:15
  manifesting the character of the Christ by far greater than
• 1:03:19
  manifesting the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
• 1:03:22
  The power part is wonderful, but the inner work of the Spirit.
• 1:03:27
  The nations will be more blessed by you looking like Christ, are
• 1:03:31
  we together than just talking or doing things like Him?
• 1:03:34
  Not everybody needs to be healed.
• 1:03:36
  Not everybody needs to be delivered.
• 1:03:39
  But everybody needs love, everybody needs peace.
• 1:03:43
  Everybody is looking for joy. Are we together?
• 1:03:48
  The evidence of spiritual maturity and especially the
• 1:03:53
  manifestation of the character of Christ.
• 1:03:56
  I'm praying for you that every element of the flesh that
• 1:04:01
  continues to misrepresent your being sent by God.
• 1:04:06
  May God kill it tonight. All the loss and anger and
• 1:04:14
  jealousy and bitterness and unforgiveness, those are the
• 1:04:18
  things that betray you and they don't give credence to your
• 1:04:23
  calling and your election. There are people, no matter how
• 1:04:26
  long they pray in tongues, they are not willing to let God deal
• 1:04:30
  with anger. They are not willing to let God
• 1:04:33
  deal with jealousy. Others.
• 1:04:35
  They are not letting God deal with pride.
• 1:04:36
  Can I tell you this? There is something I've
• 1:04:39
  discovered in my study of Scripture and observing the body
• 1:04:42
  of Christ is called selective transformation where people
• 1:04:47
  handpick what they want God to change and they say God don't
• 1:04:51
  touch this area, it's none of your business.
• 1:04:53
  Leave pride alone. Leave this part.
• 1:04:56
  Have you seen people like that? And the Holy Spirit works within
• 1:04:59
  the confines of the allowance that is given to him because
• 1:05:03
  it's a gentle spirit. So you'll find out that a man
• 1:05:06
  has hosted the Spirit for many years.
• 1:05:08
  You look at 1 area of the life and you see total
• 1:05:11
  transformation. But in another area is a seed.
• 1:05:14
  The Holy Ghost has not gotten there because.
• 1:05:16
  You lock that door and put the key in your pocket.
• 1:05:21
  Tonight someone needs to hand the key to everything and say,
• 1:05:24
  Holy Spirit, take the key everywhere.
• 1:05:26
  Open the doors and if you find anything there that is not of
• 1:05:29
  God, let all the garbages come out.
• 1:05:32
  Is someone praying that prayer? Hallelujah.
• 1:05:37
  Selective transformation. I have seen this happen with
• 1:05:40
  people. There are aspects of their lives
• 1:05:42
  they will never lay down, no matter the richness of their
• 1:05:46
  fellowship with the Holy Spirit they have chosen as an act of
• 1:05:50
  their will to protect those areas of their life.
• 1:05:53
  God, don't come here, touch this part, touch this part, touch
• 1:05:57
  this part, but don't touch. I will be angry till Jesus
• 1:06:00
  comes. You can deal with.
• 1:06:02
  Don't forgiveness, deal with pride, deal with loss.
• 1:06:05
  But me and anger, we are like that.
• 1:06:07
  I like it. I want to stay there and let me
• 1:06:10
  tell you this, the area you refuse to allow God deal with is
• 1:06:14
  the area your greatest attack will come from.
• 1:06:16
  Satan will fashion weapons after that because he knows there is
• 1:06:21
  something that looks like him in you.
• 1:06:26
  Hallelujah. Withholding nothing.
• 1:06:31
  I'm withholding nothing. Don't sing it if you're lying.
• 1:06:36
  Withholding nothing. Withholding nothing.
• 1:06:44
  I surrender to you everything I give to you.
• 1:07:00
  I'm withholding nothing. Withholding nothing.
• 1:07:09
  Hallelujah. That you pray a prayer and say,
• 1:07:12
  Lord, reach down through the innermost part of my soul.
• 1:07:17
  Correct what needs to be corrected.
• 1:07:19
  Adjust what needs to be adjusted.
• 1:07:21
  Even if I'm crying, don't stop. Adjust it.
• 1:07:27
  Everything I gave to you, I'm withholding nothing.
• 1:07:43
  Some of you would rather give your body to be bond than forgot
• 1:07:47
  to touch one night, right? Your account Lord, touch
• 1:07:51
  everything inside my brain, but leave my account alone.
• 1:07:55
  My account is not your business. If it's my mind, work on it.
• 1:07:58
  If it's whatever, work on it. But leave my account alone.
• 1:08:03
  Are we together? The first evidence we must find
• 1:08:12
  in the life of a man who is sent by God to a generation and
• 1:08:17
  desires to press to make his calling and his election sure.
• 1:08:21
  Is the evidence of spiritual maturity most evidently the
• 1:08:27
  manifestation of Christ like character?
• 1:08:30
  Now please hear me. Don't feel bad and don't feel
• 1:08:33
  discouraged. If it looks like your journey to
• 1:08:36
  attaining maturity is still epileptic, that's why God sent
• 1:08:40
  you here. But there must be a growing
• 1:08:42
  determination in your heart that my life must be a reflection of
• 1:08:46
  the Christ. Can someone say that after me
• 1:08:47
  save, my life must be a reflection of the Christ?
• 1:08:54
  Say, in the name of Jesus, my life must be a reflection of the
• 1:09:02
  Christ. Amen.
• 1:09:05
  So all the things that came back, luggages that came from
• 1:09:09
  culture, luggages that came from wherever.
• 1:09:12
  Once it is Antichrist, be prepared to give the Holy Spirit
• 1:09:16
  room to dump it out. Hallelujah.
• 1:09:21
  Praise the name of the Lord #2 when God sends a man.
• 1:09:27
  The second evidence that we must find in the life of a sent man,
• 1:09:32
  truly sent by God, is that there must be a clear, distinct
• 1:09:36
  message, A clear, distinct message or mandate from God
• 1:09:43
  which must be relevant to that dispensation.
• 1:09:46
  There must be a clear, distinct message or mandate.
• 1:09:53
  From God, which must be relevant.
• 1:09:56
  To that dispensation, if it is true that God has sent you, then
• 1:10:04
  the message or the mandate that you have, it must be clear that
• 1:10:09
  that mandate came from God. It must be distinct and it must
• 1:10:15
  be relevant. To that dispensation relevant to
• 1:10:24
  that dispensation. Now I submit to you and I'm I'm
• 1:10:28
  please permit my bias. Let me talk a bit relating to
• 1:10:31
  ministry. And, and, and this is in no way
• 1:10:34
  trying to downplay the work of God, but I'll tell you this,
• 1:10:40
  there are many, many claims from people, particularly preachers,
• 1:10:45
  purporting to be sent from God. But the content, the mandate,
• 1:10:51
  and the message examining it from the lens of Scripture.
• 1:10:55
  We find it wanting. It does not look like it's from
• 1:10:58
  God and it is hardly relevant to the people within a
• 1:11:03
  dispensation. God will never give you a
• 1:11:06
  mandate for a dispensation that is irrelevant to the people.
• 1:11:11
  Are we together? Yes.
• 1:11:14
  God will not give you an idea of a typewriter in his 21st
• 1:11:19
  century. No, that is not a mandate.
• 1:11:22
  That is relevant. I'm you.
• 1:11:24
  You get what I'm saying? I don't mean it literal, I'm
• 1:11:26
  just, I'm just using a figurative expression.
• 1:11:29
  Are we together now? God will give you a message that
• 1:11:32
  is tailor made for the health of a dispensation by message.
• 1:11:38
  I'm not just limiting it to preachers.
• 1:11:39
  That's why I said a message and a mandate.
• 1:11:42
  There are some of you who have mandates that are very clear.
• 1:11:45
  Now can I surprise you? Look at me, can I surprise you?
• 1:11:51
  I hope you know that even those who have come up with
• 1:11:55
  inventions, innovations, technological exploits, I hope
• 1:12:00
  you realize that those are also mandates from God.
• 1:12:04
  They were not mandates from the devil because we see them
• 1:12:07
  clearly betting the will of God. The gospel has been one more
• 1:12:12
  through technology than is being one even by one-on-one contact.
• 1:12:17
  That could not have been the devil.
• 1:12:19
  The only thing is that because believers were not mentored into
• 1:12:22
  being Apostolic, God had to make do with any available mind.
• 1:12:27
  I'm going to be telling you something about how God raises
• 1:12:29
  men. God's standard way of raising
• 1:12:32
  men is through the mystery of succession.
• 1:12:36
  So His program becomes ongoing from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
• 1:12:43
  That is one way are we together? So God's idea is that anybody
• 1:12:48
  who is actively being used by God as a voice fulfilling His
• 1:12:53
  purpose has 2 assignments. 1 to do what God has asked you to do,
• 1:12:57
  but #2 to prepare the generation after you.
• 1:13:00
  God is always a succession God. But now there are times where
• 1:13:05
  either because those like is like that they went around
• 1:13:11
  living their lives riotously the way they wanted until eventually
• 1:13:15
  they died in at war. You see that now.
• 1:13:17
  So usually when you have an Eli, Hofni and Finnehas situation
• 1:13:22
  where the children who are coming reject the God of their
• 1:13:25
  fathers or the fathers are jealous and do not sell them an
• 1:13:31
  idea of succession, what happens is that God will directly raise
• 1:13:35
  somebody like David. Are you seeing that now God
• 1:13:39
  would just raise someone? These are the people you usually
• 1:13:42
  say where are you coming from? Once you see God raise somebody
• 1:13:46
  out of the Blues, it is because someone has corrupted.
• 1:13:49
  The pattern of succession is always the God of Abraham, the
• 1:13:54
  God of Isaac, the God of Jacob. But Isaac can refuse.
• 1:13:59
  Jacob can refuse. I wish together and God will
• 1:14:02
  respect them, but he will not because of the carelessness of
• 1:14:06
  breaking the flow of succession. I bought his program, so he will
• 1:14:10
  reach out anywhere he finds availability.
• 1:14:12
  And let me tell you this, if he cannot find those who are in the
• 1:14:16
  church, he will raise cyruses and unbelievers.
• 1:14:19
  So don't be surprised when you see unbelievers carrying out
• 1:14:23
  divine mandates in technology, in banking, in business.
• 1:14:27
  God will have to make his program imagine.
• 1:14:30
  And I'm sorry to say with our slow rate of transformation and
• 1:14:36
  believing that God can use us, if God had left, with all due
• 1:14:41
  respect, something like Facebook or Instagram to a Christian till
• 1:14:46
  now, they will not have developed it.
• 1:14:48
  They will be arguing in the secret place, arguing in the
• 1:14:51
  secret and and destinies will be tied.
• 1:14:54
  And so God will just make one say catch up later on.
• 1:14:57
  I have to use someone. May God never replace you.
• 1:15:02
  I said to you, May God never replace you.
• 1:15:06
  You know, sometimes we need to be careful when we insult
• 1:15:10
  unbelievers. Many of them have been used by
• 1:15:13
  God as instruments of mercy to bail us out.
• 1:15:17
  They are a testament that God loves all men, but He does not
• 1:15:21
  waste time. When you waste His time and you
• 1:15:24
  are becoming an interruption to His program, He will respect
• 1:15:28
  your slow rate of growth while He makes do with those who
• 1:15:31
  really understand His program, even though they may not
• 1:15:34
  acknowledge His. Person.
• 1:15:37
  Can I tell you the truth if God shot the gate of wisdom on every
• 1:15:41
  believer and left it only in church.
• 1:15:44
  I know I respect the church, I'm part of it, but until now God's
• 1:15:48
  program would have suffered the way we are still fighting one
• 1:15:51
  another over petty issues. Someone who came up with
• 1:15:54
  Facebook, another man of God said this is demonic and they
• 1:15:57
  will shall be back. So God said look, this is your
• 1:15:59
  drama while we are dealing with all these things here.
• 1:16:02
  Let's continue to build something that brings glory to
• 1:16:05
  his name. Then when we see, we now said
• 1:16:07
  that that that has to be the will of God.
• 1:16:10
  You see what we do, the harder it is to agree with God's
• 1:16:16
  purposes, the more we waste his time and waste the time of many
• 1:16:20
  people. So God has made-up his mind to
• 1:16:23
  use both believers and Cyrus's. Now that's not his best option,
• 1:16:27
  but he has to make do it. He say, if you will not praise
• 1:16:30
  me, I will raise up stones. That's the mystery.
• 1:16:34
  Kaunania, I pray for you. May God not be tired of talking
• 1:16:37
  to you that he just leaves you and raises of a replacement.
• 1:16:42
  May God not be tired of challenging you.
• 1:16:45
  May God not be tired of telling you you are really a financial
• 1:16:48
  apostle. Whilst you are there arguing and
• 1:16:50
  saying God is this right or wrong, God will say you know
• 1:16:52
  what I can't punish a widow who your manifestation was titled
• 1:16:57
  yours. The school fees of a child was
• 1:16:59
  tied to your manifesting. Since you have refused, I will
• 1:17:02
  leave it to be arguing for five years while I raise ACEO
• 1:17:06
  somewhere. Whether he's a Muslim, whether I
• 1:17:08
  say whatever, I will raise him to midwife your assignment until
• 1:17:12
  you finally agree with me. God for you.
• 1:17:16
  This is a strange part of God that most people will not easily
• 1:17:20
  agree. We have this sentiments that
• 1:17:25
  because we are Christians, we own God and he's only for us.
• 1:17:29
  God is not stupid, He's the God of all flesh.
• 1:17:32
  Did you hear? What I said.
• 1:17:34
  It is an advantage that we are in the fold.
• 1:17:36
  But even in parenting, when a child makes up his mind to be
• 1:17:40
  foolish and to not cooperate with the parents, they love him.
• 1:17:44
  But there are things that need to be done.
• 1:17:46
  There are times that parents look at certain children, they
• 1:17:48
  give them a chance. It becomes clear that if they
• 1:17:51
  are to depend on those children, they will not have anything in
• 1:17:54
  the future. They can raise their house, help
• 1:17:56
  send that child to school, send that child, whatever it is.
• 1:17:59
  Are we together? And you'll find out eventually
• 1:18:02
  that the person who is outside is doing doing very well.
• 1:18:05
  And sometimes they are even the ones who would not take care of
• 1:18:08
  the man in old age. That was not the best, but they
• 1:18:11
  have to make do with it. May God not replace you.
• 1:18:23
  May God not replace you every time you see unbelievers doing
• 1:18:29
  certain exploits in technology, in science and it is leading to
• 1:18:34
  improved living. It is birth in the glory of God.
• 1:18:38
  It is because a believers role has been replaced.
• 1:18:42
  Believe me on that, believe me on that, believe me on that is
• 1:18:50
  someone learning. There must be a clear and
• 1:18:57
  distinct mandate from God which must be relevant to a
• 1:19:02
  dispensation. Exodus Chapter 7 and verse 16.
• 1:19:06
  We see for an example in the life of Moses a very clear
• 1:19:10
  message. Exodus 716 Thou shall say unto
• 1:19:14
  him, The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to this, saying, Let
• 1:19:19
  my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness.
• 1:19:23
  And behold, he that told thou wouldest not hear.
• 1:19:27
  The mandate of Moses was clear. Go as a deliverer, meet Pharaoh,
• 1:19:33
  advocates the exodus of God's people.
• 1:19:36
  I will equip you with signs and wonders.
• 1:19:37
  You will be stubborn, but for a while I will birth glory through
• 1:19:40
  it. Your assignment is to take them
• 1:19:43
  from Egypt, the land of captivity.
• 1:19:44
  Are we together into Canaan, the land flowing with milk and
• 1:19:48
  honey? Unfortunately, he did not finish
• 1:19:50
  his assignment, but it's commendable enough to know that
• 1:19:53
  he started and they went so far because even though he had his
• 1:19:57
  own issues, the Bible says they were a stubborn and his stiff
• 1:20:01
  necked people. Leadership for you.
• 1:20:05
  The people who Moses brought out, they rejoiced and danced
• 1:20:09
  and celebrated. After 430 years.
• 1:20:12
  I told you that Moses went up the mountain for their sake to
• 1:20:16
  receive commandments. Guess what happened when he came
• 1:20:19
  down? He saw the guys dancing, singing
• 1:20:22
  the songs that they learned from Egypt.
• 1:20:25
  They had forced Aaron to build them an idol and they were
• 1:20:28
  thanking the idol for bringing them out.
• 1:20:32
  This. Thing should make you fear.
• 1:20:34
  Men that someone can be thanking you now say your God help me you
• 1:20:38
  next tomorrow. The person is holding a charm.
• 1:20:42
  Men forget easily. That's why the Bible say forget
• 1:20:45
  not his benefits. There's something about men.
• 1:20:50
  Are we learning? Praise the name of the Lord.
• 1:20:54
  What of Jesus? John 316.
• 1:20:56
  Luke 1910. Jesus.
• 1:20:58
  His mandate was clear, unmistakable, and relevant.
• 1:21:02
  For God so loved the world, He gave his only begotten Son
• 1:21:06
  Jesus, that whosoever believes in him should not perish.
• 1:21:10
  So Jesus is assignment. John 1010.
• 1:21:13
  John 316. Life to give life.
• 1:21:16
  To bring hope. Are we together in Luke chapter
• 1:21:21
  19 and verse 10, 19 and verse 10?
• 1:21:24
  For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save, which was
• 1:21:28
  lost. Very clear, very distinct and
• 1:21:32
  very relevant not just to those days, but eternally relevant.
• 1:21:37
  How about Acts chapter 2 and verse 36?
• 1:21:41
  Acts 2 and verse 36, Peter preaching on the day of
• 1:21:45
  Pentecost. He was fortressing on that let
• 1:21:48
  the House of Israel know assuredly that God had made the
• 1:21:52
  same Jesus whom you crucified, Lord and Christ, not just
• 1:21:56
  Savior, He's today become Lord and Christ and that if you
• 1:22:00
  believe on Him you will find salvation.
• 1:22:03
  In Acts chapter 26 from verse 13, we see one dispensational
• 1:22:08
  witness called Paul making defense of his call on Monday
• 1:22:12
  before Agrippa at midday. Old king, I saw in a way he's
• 1:22:17
  narrating the story now, A light from heaven above, the
• 1:22:21
  brightness of the sun shining round about me and them with
• 1:22:26
  Johnny with me. Verse 14 he says, And when we
• 1:22:29
  were all falling upon the earth, I had a voice speaking to me,
• 1:22:33
  saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou
• 1:22:38
  me? It is hard for you to kick
• 1:22:40
  against the pricks. His conversion now.
• 1:22:43
  And he said, Who are thou Lord? And he said, I am Jesus, whom
• 1:22:48
  thou persecute us. Now watch this, it says, But
• 1:22:51
  rise, hi, this is a word for someone.
• 1:22:53
  But rise, arise from the shadows, arise from mediocrity,
• 1:22:58
  and stand upon your feet. For I have appeared unto thee
• 1:23:02
  for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness, both of
• 1:23:09
  these things which thou has seen, and of the things in the
• 1:23:12
  which I will appear unto you. 17 delivering thee from the people
• 1:23:19
  and from the Gentiles, unto whom I will now send you.
• 1:23:24
  I now send you. What's the mandate?
• 1:23:28
  Verse 18 to open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to
• 1:23:34
  light. You now see why God gave Paul
• 1:23:38
  unusual insight into the mysteries, because his
• 1:23:41
  assignment was not just to win souls.
• 1:23:43
  Paul was beyond an evangelist. Are we together now to open
• 1:23:48
  their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the
• 1:23:53
  power of the power of Satan unto God, that they might receive
• 1:23:59
  what forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among them which are
• 1:24:04
  sanctified Paul? So when you see Paul speaking
• 1:24:10
  and dishing out mysteries, it was because he was part of his
• 1:24:13
  mandate to open the eyes of people.
• 1:24:16
  Is someone learning now to open the eyes of people?
• 1:24:19
  He said it in Ephesians chapter 3 I think, and verse 9 to make
• 1:24:23
  all men see three verse 9 give it to us.
• 1:24:25
  Ephesians 3 and verse 9 to make all men see.
• 1:24:30
  It was his assignment. Every man that is sent from God
• 1:24:41
  and by God must have a clear mandate, unmistakable, distinct.
• 1:24:47
  And relevant to his dispensation.
• 1:24:50
  If God has called you to be a technological giant, don't just
• 1:24:54
  celebrate technology. A witty invention must come from
• 1:24:58
  out of your spirit that becomes relevant to the betterment of
• 1:25:03
  men, society, and ultimately the advancement of the Kingdom.
• 1:25:07
  If God has called you to be a preacher, for instance, your
• 1:25:11
  sermons, your communication must be relevant to producing a
• 1:25:16
  people of victory across a generation.
• 1:25:19
  If you're understanding me so far, say Amen number.
• 1:25:23
  Three, very quickly what is the third mandate or what is the
• 1:25:28
  third evidence? When God sends a man, Are you
• 1:25:32
  ready? There must be a unique divine
• 1:25:36
  strategy. For getting the message or the
• 1:25:40
  mandate across unhindered, there must be a unique divine
• 1:25:47
  strategy. For getting the message or the
• 1:25:51
  mandate across unhindered, there must be a unique divine
• 1:25:58
  strategy. For getting the message or the
• 1:26:01
  mandate across unhindered, that means a strategy that gets the
• 1:26:07
  attention of those He has sent you to so that you can deliver
• 1:26:14
  the mandate as instructed. Don't tell me you are sent by
• 1:26:19
  God and then sent without a strategy.
• 1:26:23
  The assignment of a strategy is to get the attention of the
• 1:26:27
  generation that you are sent to minister to.
• 1:26:31
  I told you that one of the fundamental principles of
• 1:26:33
  influence is the capacity to get the attention of those who are
• 1:26:38
  sent to. You will never be able to solve
• 1:26:40
  the grace of God to a generation if you do not know how to
• 1:26:44
  command their attention. There must be a unique strategy
• 1:26:50
  that is given to you. Can I tell you this?
• 1:26:53
  I know this first hand. By the mercy of God, you can
• 1:26:58
  have all the integrity you have in the world and yet a
• 1:27:02
  generation will not pay attention to you because you
• 1:27:05
  have not received the strategy. Even when Satan commissions, men
• 1:27:09
  listen to me, He also gives them a strategy.
• 1:27:14
  Are we together now? It is only in the church we
• 1:27:17
  don't respect strategies. We respect visions, we respect
• 1:27:21
  assignments, we respect prophecies, but we don't respect
• 1:27:25
  strategies. So you'll find someone with an
• 1:27:27
  authentic message, an authentic mandate for a generation, but
• 1:27:32
  they do not know how to get the attention of their generation.
• 1:27:39
  Can I tell you the truth? If you lose touch with the
• 1:27:42
  attention of a generation, you will all you will almost not be
• 1:27:46
  able to communicate any message to them.
• 1:27:49
  The first key to reaching a generation is to receive a
• 1:27:53
  divine strategy to get their attention.
• 1:28:00
  Hallelujah. When a man is sent from God, God
• 1:28:05
  will bring a strategy that is strange.
• 1:28:08
  But it will reach a generation. Hallelujah.
• 1:28:12
  I remember when God gave us a very strange mandate.
• 1:28:17
  To begin to carry the sound of revival across the nations of
• 1:28:20
  the earth. That was a strange mandate is
• 1:28:22
  against the protocol of ministry.
• 1:28:24
  The way it is done that you've not hosted a conference in house
• 1:28:29
  and then your first conference by God is to go and get the
• 1:28:33
  largest indoor auditorium across a nation, not that you have a
• 1:28:37
  branch there. And then you go weekday and
• 1:28:40
  believe you are going to gather the people who do you think you
• 1:28:43
  are strategy. It is not man made.
• 1:28:47
  It is not man made. That's why it works.
• 1:28:50
  With all humility I can tell you if it is not God's strategy for
• 1:28:54
  you, you would die somewhere in the journey.
• 1:28:56
  The burden will bury you. But if it is God's strategy, it
• 1:29:00
  will look so weak but it will work so powerful.
• 1:29:03
  If it is God's strategy, you will go round Jericho in a funny
• 1:29:07
  way, but it will still bring it down.
• 1:29:09
  If it's God's strategy, you will use 5 loaf and two fish and feed
• 1:29:13
  5000 people. Look at my dear friend and
• 1:29:16
  brother person Nathaniel. Look at the Hallelujah challenge
• 1:29:19
  for instance. Who would have known that from a
• 1:29:22
  small studio you are just lifting up worship.
• 1:29:25
  And now Nations is arguably one of the largest online worship.
• 1:29:32
  You know, praise, you know, convergence of believers.
• 1:29:36
  And at midnight, regardless the time zones, the world comes
• 1:29:40
  together. This is something presidents
• 1:29:43
  cannot do. This is something politicians
• 1:29:46
  cannot do. To get the attention of a
• 1:29:48
  generation to worship regardless is a strategy.
• 1:29:54
  I'm giving you that example. Are we together now?
• 1:29:56
  Yes. When we had our conference in
• 1:29:58
  New York, people called me and said, possible, how did you do
• 1:30:00
  it? Is it that you have some data
• 1:30:03
  for? So I said, look at look at the
• 1:30:04
  kind of foolish question you are asking.
• 1:30:06
  I don't live. I don't live in America.
• 1:30:09
  How do you get there? If if you know anything about
• 1:30:12
  New York, for instance, it's a busy place.
• 1:30:15
  If you can gather 200 people to pay attention to you, you are
• 1:30:18
  really anointed. And then you fill up a stadium
• 1:30:23
  with people. Let me tell you this, ladies and
• 1:30:26
  gentlemen, I don't say this to Bragg.
• 1:30:28
  I am telling you that when men are sent from God, what gives
• 1:30:33
  them an edge is not their wisdom, it's a strategy.
• 1:30:36
  God also gives them something that looks so foolish, doesn't
• 1:30:41
  make sense, but it will work wonders.
• 1:30:44
  If it is a if it is God that sent you, sometimes he will give
• 1:30:47
  you the jawbone of a donkey and say, kill these 3000 Philistines
• 1:30:52
  and while they are laughing at you, his hand will come upon
• 1:30:55
  you. Are you not seeing that God's
• 1:30:57
  program depends on his strategy? Someone lift your hand and say,
• 1:31:02
  Father, the strategy for my victory, release it for me.
• 1:31:06
  I, I I. Have the mandate but the
• 1:31:07
  strategy is not there. I'm trying on my own.
• 1:31:11
  God told you you are going to be wealthy and with your wealthy
• 1:31:14
  will advance the Kingdom. But you are using your own
• 1:31:17
  strategy. Every business you are getting
• 1:31:20
  into you are failing woefully. You need to start asking God
• 1:31:23
  specific questions. I don't doubt the mandate, but
• 1:31:27
  do you have the strategy? Don't copy strategies around you
• 1:31:32
  will fail. It can work for one because it
• 1:31:35
  was given by God. Someone pray in one minute.
• 1:31:45
  The strategy connected to my relevance.
• 1:31:49
  The strategy connected to my becoming a voice for the
• 1:31:52
  Kingdom. The strategy connected to
• 1:31:56
  becoming a dispensational witness in ministry, in
• 1:32:00
  business, those following online.
• 1:32:03
  This an important prayer to pray.
• 1:32:05
  Father reveal to me the strategy connected.
• 1:32:10
  For the next level, The strategy connected for the next season,
• 1:32:15
  the strategy connected. In Jesus name we pray.
• 1:32:24
  Please be seated. This is a very important one.
• 1:32:29
  The strategy. The strategy.
• 1:32:37
  When I started preaching, at the time I didn't see it being done.
• 1:32:45
  Maybe just little times because I started my ministerial
• 1:32:50
  background from singing and worship.
• 1:32:53
  And so when I began to minister the Word, I found a very unique
• 1:32:57
  grace that I could say things are not just prophecy, but raise
• 1:33:04
  songs that connected to the things I was saying without
• 1:33:08
  rehearsing them. Sometimes there are songs that
• 1:33:11
  I've not sung 510 years ago, but any point I make, I can
• 1:33:16
  regurgitate a song in my spirit that connects to it, like
• 1:33:19
  prophesying. I found that strange because
• 1:33:23
  people who sang would write down songs and look at it and sing,
• 1:33:26
  but it just came out of my spirit and I said, wow, it's a
• 1:33:30
  strategy. Are we together?
• 1:33:35
  It's true. You believe what I'm sharing
• 1:33:40
  with you. Don't just show me what God has
• 1:33:47
  said, show me if you have received how to make it work.
• 1:33:53
  Apostle God gave me a message. He said go and raise me people.
• 1:33:56
  Sit down first before you disgrace yourself.
• 1:33:59
  Sit down 1st and cry for the strategy.
• 1:34:03
  Cry for the strategy. What proves to men that God
• 1:34:07
  really sent you? It's not just a mandate.
• 1:34:11
  The strategy. Can I tell you this?
• 1:34:13
  When a man has found a strategy for his assignment, don't waste
• 1:34:17
  your time fighting that man. It's over.
• 1:34:19
  The only person that can destroy that man is himself.
• 1:34:23
  Are we together when a man finds the strategy for his assignment?
• 1:34:29
  A man of God in this nation. When God raised that man, he was
• 1:34:34
  one of the few men of his generation who foresaw the power
• 1:34:39
  of technology years before people saw it, and he went ahead
• 1:34:45
  and built a robust system for networking the entire globe
• 1:34:50
  using the power of technology. Others did not see it, but it
• 1:34:54
  was a strategy. Then the secret was revealed to
• 1:34:58
  Daniel. I'm telling you this, those who
• 1:35:02
  are saying we are Kingdom financiers, you better stay with
• 1:35:05
  God to find out the strategy. Doing what everybody does will
• 1:35:09
  not give you a unique result. You have to stay with Godfather.
• 1:35:14
  You have given me a mandate. There has to be a way out.
• 1:35:17
  There has to be a way out and a supposedly foolish idea will
• 1:35:21
  come if it is true that you are staying with the Spirit.
• 1:35:25
  I taught you last week already that there is oil and treasure
• 1:35:29
  in the dwelling of the wife. Still remember?
• 1:35:37
  Open my eyes, let me see. That should be your prayer.
• 1:35:44
  Open my ears, let me see, Father.
• 1:35:51
  Open my ears, let me see. Two more times like you are
• 1:35:58
  praying. Open my eyes, let me see.
• 1:36:07
  Open my house, let me. See, you know, one of the
• 1:36:15
  assignments of the Secret place is to empower you to do business
• 1:36:20
  with God and fetch from that secret place a very unique
• 1:36:25
  strategy that the world has not seen in that fashion.
• 1:36:31
  Those who come up with technological advancements, can
• 1:36:34
  I tell you this? Even though some of them don't
• 1:36:37
  acknowledge God, they use meditation, they use fraternity
• 1:36:41
  with spirits. They still reach into the realm
• 1:36:43
  of the spirit, whether by conscious agreement or by the
• 1:36:48
  activating the Latin power of the human mind, they still draw
• 1:36:52
  for solutions. When I tell you there is always
• 1:36:57
  a way out, believe me, there are strategies.
• 1:36:59
  Refer to my message, the hidden wisdom of God.
• 1:37:02
  This is one of the advantages of praying in the Spirit.
• 1:37:06
  When you pray in the Spirit, the Bible says concurrently the Holy
• 1:37:10
  Ghost begins to search the mind of the Father.
• 1:37:13
  I. Told you there is a file that is
• 1:37:15
  stored in the mind of the Father that contains the strategy for
• 1:37:19
  your victory. You may not find it as you just
• 1:37:23
  open and close scripture. But as you engage in prayer,
• 1:37:26
  light comes. Let's pray it one more time.
• 1:37:32
  Open my eyes, Let me see. Open my eyes.
• 1:37:43
  Let. Me.
• 1:37:44
  See. Hallelujah.
• 1:37:49
  Let me tell you this. Ask athletes.
• 1:37:54
  Ask boxers, ask wrestlers. They don't win just by strength,
• 1:38:01
  they win by strategy. Ask military people, they don't
• 1:38:06
  always win by strength, they win by strategy.
• 1:38:13
  When God backs a man, when he sends a man, he gives you
• 1:38:17
  strategies. A major part of my prayer as an
• 1:38:22
  individual and as a man of God for Koinonia, his father.
• 1:38:26
  Let no season befall me without me going ahead of it to find a
• 1:38:30
  strategy. Let me not enter any season and
• 1:38:34
  be leading God's people with yesterday's strategy.
• 1:38:38
  Do you know there are there are strategies for the future that
• 1:38:42
  have not yet been downloaded. Now, somebody is soon going to
• 1:38:46
  come up with the body of Christ and come up with this and
• 1:38:49
  everybody will say, from where is this one again?
• 1:38:52
  Hallelujah. Yes, mighty strategies.
• 1:38:59
  My dear brother Jerry Ezzy, Pastor Jerry Ezzy with the
• 1:39:02
  prayer platform. It started during COVID among
• 1:39:06
  many other great ministers like him.
• 1:39:08
  And it's a strategy. People laughed, people did all
• 1:39:12
  of that and God anointed that dear man of God.
• 1:39:16
  And you see what happened today right now reaching nations
• 1:39:19
  strategies. Do you not see that this thing
• 1:39:22
  is not about a man being wise. It's about God bringing
• 1:39:26
  something and said take this is a secret I shared with you my
• 1:39:32
  story years ago. God told me something he said,
• 1:39:36
  son, a day will come they will not sell C DS again.
• 1:39:41
  Technology will go ahead. There will be nothing like this
• 1:39:44
  fluffy disc and C DS, he said. Here's what I want you to do.
• 1:39:49
  Take your messages, put it online.
• 1:39:51
  This was way before technology became, he says My Angel will
• 1:39:56
  take it abroad. That's how I will announce you
• 1:39:59
  strategy. Now you can try today and it
• 1:40:03
  becomes too late because strategies are time dependent.
• 1:40:13
  Who is Lenny Strategies? Now the challenge with people in
• 1:40:18
  the body of Christ is that we we don't want to pay the price for
• 1:40:23
  originality. We always like to lazily sit
• 1:40:27
  down and then people labor in the spirit.
• 1:40:30
  Then when they labor in the spirit, want to cash into the
• 1:40:33
  opportunity. Unfortunately, the cloud would
• 1:40:35
  have gone, can I tell you for your business.
• 1:40:38
  Listen, I have said this many times, every prophecy for the
• 1:40:43
  time coming is true, but the reason why it looks like God
• 1:40:47
  lied is because we are rejoicing over prophecy without staying to
• 1:40:51
  receive the strategy. We keep saying oh the wealth of
• 1:40:55
  the weekend. There are very few people who
• 1:40:58
  have proven it. People are becoming poorer and
• 1:41:01
  poorer and is becoming a mockery to the church because we're just
• 1:41:04
  celebrating. I'm not poor, but will not stay
• 1:41:07
  to get the strategy. Even in corporations, some of
• 1:41:12
  the most active part of any, well, any healthy organization
• 1:41:17
  is the research and development department.
• 1:41:19
  Am I right on that? You go to Apple now, I don't
• 1:41:23
  work there, but you'll be surprised the additions of
• 1:41:26
  iPhone that are already lined up.
• 1:41:29
  I was in the US when someone was talking to me.
• 1:41:31
  He told me that they were let into a conference and they were
• 1:41:34
  shown a technology. Now by I don't know what
• 1:41:37
  organization, but it happened to be part of the few people.
• 1:41:40
  They were doing the simulation of a technology.
• 1:41:43
  That technology will be released in 20-30, and yet the model is
• 1:41:47
  already on ground. What are we doing in the church?
• 1:41:52
  Falling down and fighting one another?
• 1:41:58
  Some of you are Kingdom millionaires, and I don't
• 1:42:02
  believe in get rich quick. But I've told you, I also don't
• 1:42:05
  believe in get rich slow. The program of God needs time
• 1:42:08
  and it needs resources. And not everybody who becomes
• 1:42:12
  wealthy on time is a crook. I'm not I'm not.
• 1:42:16
  Listen, we have to balance this. We're not encouraging young
• 1:42:19
  people to just jump around. But let's be careful.
• 1:42:22
  There is a poisonous programming.
• 1:42:25
  I'm not going to wait until I'm 80 before I'm able to feed
• 1:42:28
  myself. That's a Luciferian strategy.
• 1:42:30
  I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
• 1:42:33
  I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
• 1:42:36
  But there is a strategy in the spirit.
• 1:42:38
  And you will see young men who will arise, I'm telling you.
• 1:42:42
  Young men, they are not crooks, they are not 41 Niners.
• 1:42:45
  I'm not talking of fraudulent people.
• 1:42:47
  Young men who can defend by the wisdom of the Spirit.
• 1:42:51
  They will say I went to bed and an Angel came to me and said,
• 1:42:55
  let me show you like Deborah, I am come to give you
• 1:42:58
  understanding. Yes, Sir.
• 1:43:01
  Listen the way we know to do church.
• 1:43:04
  Now is the way we saw from our fathers.
• 1:43:08
  But there is a pattern for the generation coming.
• 1:43:11
  There are strategies that are dispensational.
• 1:43:14
  I tell you this, in the last 40-50 years in the United States
• 1:43:20
  and across the West, there was a strategy that the fathers
• 1:43:24
  brought, and that strategy works for their dispensation.
• 1:43:27
  Many young people are blindly coming into that strategy now
• 1:43:31
  and it's failing because technology has brought
• 1:43:34
  disruptions. With all due respect, I don't
• 1:43:37
  mean to be to mock, but there are many cathedrals in Europe.
• 1:43:41
  There are many cathedrals in the US that are almost empty today
• 1:43:45
  because people have not stayed to receive the strategy for the
• 1:43:49
  future. There is, So there is a
• 1:43:55
  parenting strategy for. Stubborn children.
• 1:43:59
  New technology will come when he allowed the children to arrive.
• 1:44:03
  Don't just say the children are stubborn.
• 1:44:05
  Change strategy. Go back and say, Lord, there has
• 1:44:08
  to be a way now that my child can watch porn and use a video
• 1:44:14
  that, you know, a phone somewhere.
• 1:44:16
  There has to be a strategy. When we're growing up, every
• 1:44:20
  house has one big television. Once the office, you go to bed.
• 1:44:25
  In fact, you don't watch anything.
• 1:44:26
  Alone unfortunately everybody's watching it there if it's not
• 1:44:30
  healthy sorry for you they off it and you go to bed.
• 1:44:33
  But right now you have children. I mean you you look at tiny
• 1:44:36
  children they they can show you whether a phone is fake or real
• 1:44:41
  strategy. Who is getting blessed tonight.
• 1:44:48
  Let me submit to you ladies and gentlemen Church of the Lord
• 1:44:51
  Jesus Christ hear me this a prophetic message.
• 1:44:55
  Do you know how much it takes to own a house now?
• 1:44:59
  Where are my builders? How much is 1 decent house that
• 1:45:04
  you get without stealing? Let me tell you how many people
• 1:45:08
  may never be in their own house in their lifetime.
• 1:45:13
  You apply a job, even if it's to clean the ground.
• 1:45:17
  You find out that there are almost 5000 graduates applying
• 1:45:22
  for that job. It's not an issue of education
• 1:45:25
  or not education. You've gone to school.
• 1:45:27
  The winner wins by strategies. So the Bible says the weapons of
• 1:45:32
  our warfare. It says they are not canal.
• 1:45:35
  The what canal means man made. Believe us, if you don't listen
• 1:45:40
  to what I'm telling you, you will be frustrated.
• 1:45:42
  In your Christian experience. There are pastors today being
• 1:45:46
  frustrated. Why is ministry not working?
• 1:45:49
  I'm talking about people who have integrity.
• 1:45:51
  They love God, but they do not know that when God sends a man,
• 1:45:56
  the man has a right to stay in the secret place and say, my
• 1:45:59
  Father, you have given me a mandate.
• 1:46:01
  A generation will not listen to me until you birth a strategy
• 1:46:05
  within me. Turn it into prayer in one
• 1:46:07
  minute. Again, Father, the strategy for
• 1:46:10
  my empowerment, the strategy for my relevance.
• 1:46:14
  Strategy for excelling in ministry?
• 1:46:17
  The strategy for being an exceptional parent?
• 1:46:20
  Come on, someone pray. Divine strategy that gets the
• 1:46:36
  attention of your generation. Divine strategy that helps you
• 1:46:41
  communicate your mandate on hinder regardless the attacks.
• 1:46:48
  Hallelujah. Listen, look at me, look at me.
• 1:46:54
  Can I tell you this body of Christ, I'm speaking to you hear
• 1:46:57
  me? If you don't pay attention to
• 1:47:00
  what I'm teaching you, you will be angry at many people because
• 1:47:05
  they won't add up. Their results will annoy you.
• 1:47:08
  You know why? You will feel in your mind they
• 1:47:10
  don't qualify for this result. And you are right.
• 1:47:14
  The one who receives the strategy is the one the
• 1:47:17
  generation will listen to. You can feel educated all you
• 1:47:21
  want, you can feel sound and articulate all you want.
• 1:47:25
  But if God does not give you a strategy, your generation will
• 1:47:29
  look at you with all your knowledge and say, please stand
• 1:47:32
  back and you'll find someone with the frailty of his heart
• 1:47:35
  saying, Lord I may not be much, but can you bring something from
• 1:47:39
  heaven upon my life? Is someone learning strategy?
• 1:47:51
  There is a way of a winner. There is the way of a winner.
• 1:47:55
  Believe me, I used to hear a father in the Lord Bishop
• 1:47:59
  Poetico shout and say some things you know, as as a young
• 1:48:03
  minister just rising. And I looked at the boldness you
• 1:48:06
  would mistaken it for. Arrogance is the intoxicating
• 1:48:10
  power of a strategy. When you find it, you know it
• 1:48:14
  will work. Hallelujah.
• 1:48:21
  One of our fathers of faith in this nation.
• 1:48:24
  Not too long ago I met him and I was just sharing with him some
• 1:48:28
  of the things God was doing. And he laughed and the only
• 1:48:32
  thing he told me was that I'm not surprised.
• 1:48:35
  I know the man who is doing this in your life.
• 1:48:37
  Say I know him. You are not telling me about a
• 1:48:40
  stranger. You are telling me about a man I
• 1:48:42
  know. I know what he can do.
• 1:48:45
  I said, that's right, Men who have had strategies by those
• 1:48:50
  strategies, our fathers of faith went to forests.
• 1:48:54
  They stood and looked at the forest because the grace for
• 1:48:57
  territory was on them. They bought forests and turned
• 1:49:00
  it into cities. Don't copy blindly.
• 1:49:03
  What is the strategy for my generation?
• 1:49:06
  That should become your prayer. What is the strategy?
• 1:49:09
  Oh God, what is the strategy for victory?
• 1:49:13
  How can a young man be established in his 20s without
• 1:49:17
  fraud, Without Yahoo, Without 419?
• 1:49:20
  Is there no way to do it? Is there no way to do it with
• 1:49:25
  dignity? Is it a cause for a young man to
• 1:49:28
  buy a house without stealing? Is it a cause for a young
• 1:49:33
  married man and his young wife to feed his family without
• 1:49:37
  begging? There is a strategy.
• 1:49:41
  There are scientists who need to go to God.
• 1:49:44
  I'm not just talking of preachers and come up with a
• 1:49:47
  strategy. Something you give a child and
• 1:49:50
  he never becomes autistic again. Something you give a child an
• 1:49:54
  ADHD and all those demonic. Things There is a strategy.
• 1:49:59
  It's biochemistry. It's a strategy, the human
• 1:50:02
  bodies program. It's just that viruses have been
• 1:50:05
  empowered by devils and they are reprogramming us and science is
• 1:50:10
  not catching up. Don't just insult scientists.
• 1:50:13
  Add anointing to your being a scientist and go and receive a
• 1:50:16
  strategy. Listen, let me tell you this,
• 1:50:21
  when I talk of God raising this dispensational witnesses, I hope
• 1:50:26
  you know I'm not just talking of preachers.
• 1:50:28
  If the only people who rise up, preachers, were in trouble or
• 1:50:32
  were in big trouble. Preachers have their roles, but
• 1:50:36
  we need scientists, we need financiers.
• 1:50:42
  You set up an investment that gives anything beyond 1015%,
• 1:50:46
  maybe 20%, and the whole world sees you as a fraud.
• 1:50:50
  There are young men who are going to arise.
• 1:50:52
  I'm telling you, they are going to arise with the dignity of
• 1:50:55
  Kingdom integrity. God will show them something.
• 1:50:59
  They will have to call you from Wall Street.
• 1:51:01
  They will call you from all of these banks and say we are
• 1:51:04
  seeing a dimension of wisdom. We can't.
• 1:51:06
  Explain this. This is beyond economics.
• 1:51:10
  Yes, Sir. Are we together?
• 1:51:17
  Whoever said you must? Borrow and spend the remaining
• 1:51:21
  part of your life paying it. It was somebody's idea and while
• 1:51:25
  we respect it, don't disrespect what the Holy Ghost can do.
• 1:51:31
  Are we together? How about evangelism?
• 1:51:43
  There are nations right now as a believer going to preach they
• 1:51:47
  won't grant you visa, they will not, or they won't grant you
• 1:51:51
  entry. It's becoming stricter and
• 1:51:53
  stricter. We are not just going to do
• 1:51:56
  crusades like having thousands of people pile up because the
• 1:52:00
  nations are becoming directly hostile.
• 1:52:03
  But if God says soul should be saved, don't you think there is
• 1:52:06
  a strategy in the spirit? There is something someone will
• 1:52:10
  come up with. You will be surprised.
• 1:52:12
  May that someone be you. Let me tell you this.
• 1:52:18
  If you understand my teaching tonight you will stop wasting
• 1:52:21
  your sleep. Every sleep becomes a
• 1:52:23
  transportation system into the realm of the spirit that Father,
• 1:52:28
  as I'm lying down to sleep, let five hours not be wasted with me
• 1:52:31
  just. Snoring.
• 1:52:33
  Let my spirit man be taken to virgin dimensions.
• 1:52:36
  Show me things that are not given to mortal eyes to see.
• 1:52:41
  Let me come back with ideas, divine strategies that will
• 1:52:45
  cause the Church to win. Turn it into prayer in one
• 1:52:48
  minute. I'm staying here because you
• 1:52:51
  it's important shapa lakata prantaka parakatos, empowerment
• 1:52:58
  strategies, evangelism strategies, supernatural
• 1:53:03
  strategies that can make society better in one day.
• 1:53:08
  Thank God for government, but there's only so much they can
• 1:53:11
  do. Technological strategies from
• 1:53:27
  the church. Medical strategies from the
• 1:53:33
  church. Don't just pray in tongues.
• 1:53:37
  Download strategies from the Spirit.
• 1:53:40
  Show that you are sent by God. Give diligence to make your
• 1:53:46
  calling and your election. Show media strategies, Business
• 1:53:51
  and finance strategies that will turn the narrative.
• 1:53:55
  Literally rewrite the story of the civilization.
• 1:54:04
  Hallelujah. Listen.
• 1:54:06
  Now, with all due respect, there is no time.
• 1:54:10
  You listen to the Zuckerbags, the Elon Mosques and all of
• 1:54:15
  these guys that are at the cotton edge of technology.
• 1:54:18
  You never hear them say the same thing twice after maybe a year
• 1:54:22
  or two. They are always evolving.
• 1:54:25
  What is the latest trend now? This and that and that.
• 1:54:29
  And yet we pray in tongues and shouts around.
• 1:54:31
  That's why the world is angry. We have not justified that our
• 1:54:36
  relationship with the Holy Spirit.
• 1:54:38
  We've made a mockery of the ability of God.
• 1:54:41
  But things must change. Things must change that a young
• 1:54:46
  man will arise in his 20s, in his 30s.
• 1:54:49
  I'm going to show you something shortly.
• 1:54:51
  Who will build a 500 man estate as a single person and make it
• 1:54:57
  affordable for people as a gift to a generation.
• 1:55:01
  And they will say by what strategy they will vet him and
• 1:55:04
  check the books and check everything.
• 1:55:06
  No fraud, no nothing, no dealing with drugs, The wisdom of the
• 1:55:10
  Spirit. Some of you, I tell you, because
• 1:55:14
  of what God will place in your life, you will sit on the table
• 1:55:17
  with presidents. I'm telling you this
• 1:55:20
  prophetically. You will sit on the table with
• 1:55:23
  presidents. You will tell them I have found
• 1:55:26
  security solutions, I have found technology solutions.
• 1:55:31
  I have found solutions in education.
• 1:55:35
  Please be seated. I don't believe in a
• 1:55:39
  Christianity that cannot impact on society.
• 1:55:42
  That's an irresponsible Christianity, and I will never
• 1:55:48
  raise the people who are just praying in tongues and jumping
• 1:55:51
  and falling down. No, you must transport through
• 1:55:54
  your spirituality. You must show that God sent you
• 1:56:05
  sent by God. If you are sent by God, let it
• 1:56:10
  show. Let it show.
• 1:56:13
  What's that case? Ring song?
• 1:56:20
  Let it show the. Time.
• 1:56:23
  Sing it for me, let it show the time at you Give me substance,
• 1:56:33
  give me proof, Give me the sense.
• 1:56:37
  Give me you, give me substance. Give.
• 1:56:42
  Me proof give me. The sense.
• 1:56:46
  Let it show the time at you. Let it show the time at you.
• 1:57:04
  Hallelujah, please be seated. So the third evidence that shows
• 1:57:13
  that a man is sent by God is that there must be a unique,
• 1:57:18
  distinct, undeniable strategy given by God that can command
• 1:57:25
  the attention of those you are sent to in an undeniable way.
• 1:57:32
  Let me tell you something I've found whether you hate those who
• 1:57:36
  have strategies, whether you dislike them, whether you don't
• 1:57:39
  believe in them, that's your headache.
• 1:57:42
  Once you have found it, you are a winner as far as that
• 1:57:45
  dispensation is concerned. Give me substance, Give me
• 1:57:55
  proof. Give me you.
• 1:57:59
  Give me substance, Give me you. Let it.
• 1:58:08
  Show that I let with you. Let it show.
• 1:58:26
  Hallelujah. Listen, in my small life I've
• 1:58:32
  had the opportunity to see what the wisdom of God, if and when
• 1:58:37
  imported to a man, can. Do from a spiritual,
• 1:58:40
  supernatural standpoint. But from a technological
• 1:58:44
  standpoint. I've had the honor of having
• 1:58:47
  board meetings with very successful corporations.
• 1:58:52
  I've gone to their back rooms. I've seen how they drive their
• 1:58:55
  technology and drive their products.
• 1:58:58
  Incredible. The wisdom, the engineering, the
• 1:59:02
  ingenuity. I mean you can, you can see how
• 1:59:05
  dexterous they are. I have seen people have given me
• 1:59:08
  gadgets, some I don't need, but I am amazed at the thinking of
• 1:59:12
  someone, how that God breathed upon somebody's mind and he was
• 1:59:17
  able to import this supernatural thing.
• 1:59:21
  Sometimes you fly and you watch this giant planes and you're
• 1:59:26
  amazed. It's like you're in a house that
• 1:59:28
  is moving and to know that someone on earth actually
• 1:59:31
  thought about that, that you can get up and in a maximum of two
• 1:59:35
  days you are anywhere around the world, incredible.
• 1:59:40
  It's not the mind of man, it's the wisdom of God through the
• 1:59:43
  mind of a man. Oh, there are virgin strategies
• 1:59:47
  being filed in the Spirit. Waiting for hungry people,
• 1:59:51
  waiting for desperate people, waiting for those who understand
• 1:59:56
  that God's glory is at the mercy of your manifestation.
• 2:00:07
  Someone is rising from tonight. I'm not just speaking to the
• 2:00:11
  Koinonia family. I'm speaking to the body of
• 2:00:13
  Christ. You will see inventions.
• 2:00:16
  You will see strategies. Are we together the little that
• 2:00:20
  we are doing in our various ways right now, those they are just
• 2:00:24
  little. It is to show the body of Christ
• 2:00:27
  the possibilities that can happen when men take God
• 2:00:32
  seriously. Let it show that I met with you.
• 2:00:41
  Let it show that I met with you. Let it show that I met with you.
• 2:00:51
  Hallelujah, praise God #4 What is the 4th evidence?
• 2:00:58
  Let's hurry up. What is the 4th evidence That a
• 2:01:03
  man is sent by God? Access to resources and support
• 2:01:09
  systems. Write that down.
• 2:01:11
  The 4th proof that God has truly sent a man to a family, to a
• 2:01:18
  generation, is access to resources and support systems.
• 2:01:24
  Write that down. Access to resources and support
• 2:01:30
  systems. Whether human or material access
• 2:01:34
  to resources and support systems.
• 2:01:37
  It is impossible for God to send a man and then with time that
• 2:01:42
  man does not find resources or support systems.
• 2:01:46
  It's not true. It's not true.
• 2:01:50
  I wrote something down here. I said there must be men raised
• 2:01:54
  by God to believe in and stand with that vision or that man as
• 2:02:00
  help us and as support systems. It is true.
• 2:02:05
  If that vision is from God and the strategy for execution is
• 2:02:10
  from God, you will never be in want of men and you will never
• 2:02:15
  be in want of resources. These two things are really
• 2:02:19
  proof. I'm not just talking of the men.
• 2:02:23
  You are to bless the men who help you.
• 2:02:31
  There are many visions today that do not have men to believe
• 2:02:34
  in them, not to invest their time, energy, credibility, and
• 2:02:39
  resources. Maybe not immediately, but given
• 2:02:43
  ample time. You may need to go back to the
• 2:02:45
  drawing board, find out whether it is truly from God or you are
• 2:02:50
  executing that vision by God's strategy.
• 2:02:55
  Matthew, chapter 4, please. Very quickly.
• 2:02:58
  Matthew chapter 4. The Bible makes a very
• 2:03:00
  interesting submission from verse 18.
• 2:03:03
  Matthew 418 The 4th proof that a man is truly sent by God is that
• 2:03:09
  you will have eventually access to resources and support
• 2:03:13
  systems. And Jesus walking by the Sea of
• 2:03:17
  Galilee saw two brethren watch this called Simon.
• 2:03:21
  A Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother.
• 2:03:24
  He was just about to start ministry, casting their Nets
• 2:03:28
  into the sea, for they were fishers.
• 2:03:30
  Go ahead. And he said unto them, Follow
• 2:03:33
  me, I'm a man sent by God. I'm a man on assignment, and I
• 2:03:38
  know that there are men God have put in place.
• 2:03:41
  And when he saw them, he said, follow me and I will make you
• 2:03:45
  fishers of men. Their response was 20.
• 2:03:48
  Straight away they left their Nets and followed him.
• 2:03:52
  If you don't have this kind of experience, I doubt that is God
• 2:03:55
  that called you. There are men who deep will call
• 2:03:58
  unto deep. The day they see you, they know
• 2:04:01
  they were supposed to be part of the vision.
• 2:04:04
  The day they see you, they know that they're supposed to work
• 2:04:07
  with you. I'm in glove.
• 2:04:09
  Do you believe that? Please give it to me.
• 2:04:11
  We're going down to 22 Media. Let's work together.
• 2:04:14
  Straight away. They left their Nets and they
• 2:04:16
  followed him. 21 And when he had fasted 40 days a night, he was
• 2:04:24
  afterwards hungry and going from tents, he saw two other brethren
• 2:04:33
  go back to verse 20. They followed him straight away.
• 2:04:39
  I was reading something else Now media, you were giving me
• 2:04:42
  something else. Go to 21 Still 421 beautiful.
• 2:04:46
  And going on from thence he saw other two brethren, James the
• 2:04:52
  son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with their
• 2:04:56
  father, mending their Nets. Then he called them verse 22
• 2:05:00
  again. Immediately they left the ship
• 2:05:04
  with their father. And one proof that God has
• 2:05:08
  called you is that someone must connect to that vision enough to
• 2:05:12
  follow you, enough to help you if you are alone.
• 2:05:16
  It's not persecution is that you need to doubt whether God sent
• 2:05:20
  you. The timing is right or the
• 2:05:22
  strategy is right. Is someone?
• 2:05:26
  Is someone learning now? There are many lonely people
• 2:05:30
  living in an illusion that they were sent by God but not
• 2:05:33
  supported by men. No, God is not that powerless.
• 2:05:36
  If God sends you and you execute it as per the strategy, somebody
• 2:05:42
  must believe in you to reach their destiny to stand with you.
• 2:05:47
  Mark 1:35 to 37. There we see again Jesus not
• 2:05:53
  been alone. Mark 13537 Media media someone
• 2:06:01
  help me please my people and in the morning rising up a great
• 2:06:05
  while before day he went out and departed into a solitary place
• 2:06:11
  and there prayed. Verse 36 the Bible says he went
• 2:06:15
  alone to pray. Can I tell you this, one proof
• 2:06:19
  that you are sent by God is that you never beg men to follow you.
• 2:06:24
  The value, the grace is you are so valuable and you are a
• 2:06:28
  blessing. I'm not saying to mock men and
• 2:06:31
  not appreciate them, but when you find yourself begging
• 2:06:35
  people, go back to the drawing board.
• 2:06:37
  Something is wrong. Followership in many regards is
• 2:06:42
  an attestation, not all regards, but in many regards it is proof
• 2:06:47
  that you were sent by God. The Bible says Simon.
• 2:06:50
  And they that were with him followed after him. 37 And when
• 2:06:55
  they had found him, they said unto him, Because you are sent,
• 2:07:00
  All men seek for thee, all men seek for thee.
• 2:07:06
  Every true mandate from heaven will require men and material
• 2:07:11
  resources for its accomplishment.
• 2:07:15
  Every true mandate from heaven will require men and material
• 2:07:22
  resources. Let me tell you the truth.
• 2:07:24
  There are people who came to Jesus not just as disciples and
• 2:07:28
  help us, but they also came as financiers.
• 2:07:31
  Give us Luke chapter 8 please. 123 As I studied this, I was
• 2:07:36
  surprised that most of the people who have the men of God
• 2:07:40
  in the Bible were women. Men, we need to rise up to the
• 2:07:44
  occasion. I don't know what it is about
• 2:07:45
  women, but one thing I know is that when women believe in Yuba,
• 2:07:51
  go back and start dancing before God because you've really found
• 2:07:54
  help for reasons I cannot explain, but it is true man.
• 2:07:58
  I know where you believe too. I'm not saying that when men,
• 2:08:01
  but I mean this is Bible Luke 81 and it came to pass.
• 2:08:07
  Watch this that he went throughout every city and
• 2:08:11
  village preaching and showing the glad tidings of the Kingdom
• 2:08:15
  of God, and the 12 were with him.
• 2:08:18
  They were with him as helpers and Saturn women which had been
• 2:08:23
  healed of evil spirits and infirmities.
• 2:08:26
  An example Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went
• 2:08:31
  seven devils, verse 3, and Joanna the wife of chooser Herod
• 2:08:37
  Stewart. So that was a businesswoman who
• 2:08:41
  and Susanna and many others which ministered unto him of
• 2:08:46
  their substance because God sent him, casted the devils out of
• 2:08:54
  them. They went and prospered and
• 2:08:56
  ministered to him. Is someone learning?
• 2:09:01
  How about Paul? Philemon 4 15 to 19 very quickly
• 2:09:05
  Philemon, I mean Philippians, Philippians 4 from verse 15 to
• 2:09:09
  19, I'm showing you that no divine mandate can thrive
• 2:09:14
  without support systems, men and material resources.
• 2:09:18
  Now here Philippians know also that in the beginning of the
• 2:09:21
  gospel, when I when I departed from Macedonia, no church
• 2:09:26
  communicated with me concerning giving and receiving.
• 2:09:29
  But ye only. For even in Thessalonica ye send
• 2:09:33
  once and again unto my necessity, not because I desire
• 2:09:38
  a gift, but I desire fruits that may abound to your account.
• 2:09:44
  But I have all and abound. I am fool, having received of a
• 2:09:49
  providatos the things which were sent from you.
• 2:09:52
  An order of sweet smell is sacrifice acceptable, well
• 2:09:57
  pleasing unto God. 19 He says, But my God shall supply all your
• 2:10:02
  needs, according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
• 2:10:07
  There was a whole church that ministered to Paul.
• 2:10:11
  I hope you know that Paul was not among the initial 12.
• 2:10:17
  It was easy to doubt him. Even the apostles doubted him.
• 2:10:21
  It took a while before they extended the hand of fellowship,
• 2:10:24
  but because he was sent of God, eventually a whole church
• 2:10:29
  communicated to his necessity. Luke, 2235.
• 2:10:35
  Luke. 22 and verse 35. Jesus said unto them when he
• 2:10:43
  sent them two by two, 7 by 7, when I sent you without purse
• 2:10:48
  and script and shoes, lacked ye anything, and they said nothing.
• 2:10:56
  Listen to me when God truly sends a man, I don't mean a
• 2:11:05
  preacher, I mean a man, any man. Eventually as you sojourn, the
• 2:11:13
  men and the resources for that assignment will meet up with you
• 2:11:19
  in your place of obedience. The men listen.
• 2:11:24
  You will not be in disobedience and find men and resources come,
• 2:11:28
  except it's programmed by the devil for your downfall.
• 2:11:31
  But you may not start with anything, but as you go, ladies
• 2:11:35
  and gentlemen, if it is the God of the universe, He will send
• 2:11:39
  men to stand by you, to stand with you, and then He will send
• 2:11:45
  strategic resources. There are many ways God sends
• 2:11:49
  resources. It is not only by giving gifts.
• 2:11:53
  He can empower your mind with such dimension of productivity
• 2:11:58
  that you come up with ideas and witty inventions.
• 2:12:02
  Are we together? And we are able to exchange that
• 2:12:04
  value for reward that can help power your vision.
• 2:12:10
  It is at this point that I want to encourage believers,
• 2:12:14
  particularly men and women of God.
• 2:12:17
  Now, it is required from Scripture that every time a man
• 2:12:23
  serves you the grace of God, you communicate to them and to the
• 2:12:27
  vision. Material things too.
• 2:12:30
  I'm not ashamed to say it because it is a Bible.
• 2:12:33
  Some have misused it. But I owe it to teach you, you
• 2:12:36
  know, but to remind you, anytime a ministry blesses you, the
• 2:12:42
  ministry is feeding you spiritually empowering you,
• 2:12:47
  transforming you. You descend the hand of God and
• 2:12:50
  integrity. Make sure that you participate
• 2:12:54
  in providing resources that makes for the continuation of
• 2:12:58
  that vision. It's a Kingdom responsibility.
• 2:13:02
  Do you understand? I'm saying this because there's
• 2:13:04
  no point. I will not manipulate you.
• 2:13:06
  No, I will not. But I will teach you the truth.
• 2:13:10
  And the same 2 should go to a man of God.
• 2:13:13
  I'm not saying this for my sake, but I need to teach you.
• 2:13:16
  It's part of your Kingdom responsibility that if you are
• 2:13:20
  fed and nourished spiritually by a ministry by a man of God, and
• 2:13:26
  you are growing and getting transformed, are we together?
• 2:13:30
  It is important that you communicate to the man of God
• 2:13:35
  and the vision, not the vision alone, not the man of God alone.
• 2:13:39
  Both the ministry and the man of God deserve of your benevolence.
• 2:13:45
  That's what the Bible teaches. That's one side.
• 2:13:48
  But on the other side, I want to teach you something.
• 2:13:52
  Because of the peculiarity of the human heart, you are not
• 2:13:56
  giving the liberty to manipulate people and force seeds out of
• 2:14:00
  them. Yours is to teach them the truth
• 2:14:03
  and to let the Holy Spirit convict them.
• 2:14:05
  If the men do not give, unfortunately there is nothing
• 2:14:09
  you can do. And this is where I encourage
• 2:14:12
  people. Make sure you build a system, a
• 2:14:16
  financial system around your life.
• 2:14:19
  It is a costly risk, particularly as a man of God, to
• 2:14:22
  cross your legs and just wait for offerings and givings to run
• 2:14:27
  your life. That's a suicide mission,
• 2:14:31
  especially at the times that we live in right now.
• 2:14:34
  Are we together? I speak particularly to
• 2:14:38
  ministers that I imagine when God begins to open doors for you
• 2:14:44
  and people begin to bless you, gifts, honorariums.
• 2:14:47
  Avoid living a wasteful and riotous life.
• 2:14:51
  To prove that ministry is working, gather that money and
• 2:14:54
  see it as God bailing you out. There are people who have wasted
• 2:14:58
  millions and billions today. The truth is that God has been
• 2:15:02
  faithful to them. More than 1 billion, more than
• 2:15:05
  two billion aggregated, has come to them as blessings from
• 2:15:09
  ministry. You would have, even if it's to
• 2:15:11
  put it in a treasury bill giving you 1015% per month.
• 2:15:14
  You have no business begging. But they're still begging today.
• 2:15:21
  Hallelujah. There are certain concerns with
• 2:15:25
  time you should never be thinking of again, where to live
• 2:15:28
  with your children, what to eat, what to drive.
• 2:15:31
  The truth is that it is the God of heaven.
• 2:15:33
  He has been faithful to many people.
• 2:15:35
  It's our carelessness and riotous living that has brought
• 2:15:39
  us some of these problems. And so I'm encouraging everyone.
• 2:15:43
  Koinonia, hear me, men of God, too, please everybody, be
• 2:15:47
  productive. Be productive as a preacher.
• 2:15:51
  Be productive. There are many ways.
• 2:15:55
  This is not a financial seminar. But I can tell you this.
• 2:15:58
  There are many ways a man of God can be empowered beyond tithes
• 2:16:03
  and offerings with the dignity of Kingdom integrity.
• 2:16:07
  Many ways. Not one, not 4, not 5.
• 2:16:14
  There are many ways ministries can be empowered in addition to
• 2:16:19
  the giving tithes and offerings. This is where I salute
• 2:16:24
  ministries like the Catholics and the Anglicans.
• 2:16:28
  Some of them bought lands and bought properties yesteryears
• 2:16:32
  for less than 100,000 per plot. They bought hundreds and
• 2:16:37
  thousands of acres. Some of those lands today are
• 2:16:40
  1,000,000 per plot. You'll find it in every region.
• 2:16:44
  The power of foresight. There's no program they want to
• 2:16:49
  run that they cannot run. They can just slice a portion of
• 2:16:52
  the land, sell it, and it's more than enough money to build.
• 2:16:57
  I pray that God will bring wisdom to His body.
• 2:17:01
  There are certain levels of temptation that are unnecessary
• 2:17:05
  if wisdom is at work in your life.
• 2:17:09
  Are we together? Praise the name of the Lord.
• 2:17:15
  I know ministries in this nation using the power of foresight,
• 2:17:20
  they went ahead, They acquired properties.
• 2:17:25
  I know individuals. I'm sorry to say that I don't
• 2:17:28
  mean to. I'm just digressing to stress a
• 2:17:31
  point. There are people who have been
• 2:17:33
  in this Abuja for 20 years, 30 years, 50 years, 10 years.
• 2:17:40
  God gave them opportunities to own land.
• 2:17:43
  There was a time they were selling properties around
• 2:17:46
  1,500,000. They looked at it and instead of
• 2:17:49
  buying the property, they bought a shoe.
• 2:17:53
  They bought what? A shoe.
• 2:17:56
  The shoe is missing and there's no land.
• 2:18:06
  You see some of the things that we do, the church is a place of
• 2:18:09
  instruction. Don't try to live a fake life
• 2:18:13
  when you are not there. There is a mandate before you.
• 2:18:16
  Are we together now? Yes, I don't mean to insult you.
• 2:18:20
  What is the truth? Don't wear hair that is more
• 2:18:25
  expensive than your rent. No, keep that hair for the
• 2:18:30
  future and put the money together.
• 2:18:33
  There are real estate people with 10,000,025 million.
• 2:18:36
  There are people who have been able to buy homes that are
• 2:18:39
  costing almost 100 million today and they had the money but they
• 2:18:43
  preferred the way of the prodigal son.
• 2:18:47
  Any wasteful living that has come from your life, I pray for
• 2:18:50
  mercy for you tonight in the name of Jesus.
• 2:18:55
  I pray for mercy for you tonight in the name of Jesus.
• 2:19:02
  But if God gives you a mandate, there will always be Help us.
• 2:19:07
  I am grateful for this because I know it is true.
• 2:19:11
  I have found help us in my life, financial help, us support
• 2:19:16
  systems. Do you know why I take the time
• 2:19:19
  many times to appreciate you and appreciate the global family?
• 2:19:24
  Because it's one thing to be called by God, but your
• 2:19:27
  presence, your loyalty, your participation, your pouring
• 2:19:32
  yourself out is a validation that God.
• 2:19:35
  Sent me and for that I'm. Grateful, Very grateful, very
• 2:19:41
  grateful. It's a principle that I've
• 2:19:45
  learned. Anyone who becomes a support
• 2:19:48
  system to your becoming, swallow your pride and appreciate them.
• 2:19:53
  Sometimes as preachers we get so arrogant and we tell people if
• 2:19:56
  you are not go and then they go. Then we say, Oh yeah, come now,
• 2:20:03
  don't take people for granted. If you don't appreciate people,
• 2:20:06
  they will leave you to empty pews.
• 2:20:07
  They will leave you to empty pews.
• 2:20:10
  Again, Koinonia, thank you. Thank you for making the world
• 2:20:13
  believe. That were sent by God.
• 2:20:19
  Hallelujah. And by the way, let's thank our
• 2:20:23
  family following online. My goodness, their mother,
• 2:20:26
  Nosio. In multiple phones, celebrate
• 2:20:29
  them generously. Thank you from US to UK to
• 2:20:34
  Canada to Ghana to South Africa. Everywhere the Middle East.
• 2:20:41
  God bless you. Hallelujah, men are in many
• 2:20:48
  regards validations that God sent you when you are alone and
• 2:20:54
  alone for a long time. It may be that truly your your
• 2:20:59
  calling needs to be examined or or your strategy needs to be
• 2:21:06
  examined. Now, I'm not saying you must
• 2:21:09
  have a crowd of people internationally, we have
• 2:21:12
  ministries and they're in different levels and I'm not
• 2:21:16
  limiting this to just pastoral ministry, but I'm saying if God
• 2:21:20
  truly called you, you must have help us eventually and someone
• 2:21:25
  to stand with you. Let me prophecy over your life
• 2:21:29
  before I give you the last key in the name of Jesus.
• 2:21:32
  Where your vision has been without help, Where your vision
• 2:21:36
  has been without help us. Where your vision has been
• 2:21:39
  without men. If at all any man comments about
• 2:21:42
  your life, your business is to criticize you.
• 2:21:45
  I'm praying for you from today. May God bring together all who
• 2:21:49
  believe in you. May God bring to your life those
• 2:21:54
  who believe in you. I'm not talking of pretenders
• 2:21:57
  and hypocrites, genuine people who are invested in you in the
• 2:22:03
  name of Jesus. Christ.
• 2:22:06
  Using men and strategic ideas, May God gravitate financial
• 2:22:11
  resources to you in Jesus name. We pray.
• 2:22:15
  Please be seated. Access to resources and support
• 2:22:20
  systems. As proof that you are sent.
• 2:22:23
  I'll give you #5 what is the 5th proof that you are sent by God?
• 2:22:30
  That you have come truly as a dispensational witness.
• 2:22:34
  There must be the evidence of divine backing.
• 2:22:38
  There must be the evidence of divine backing.
• 2:22:42
  Mark 1620, the evidence of divine backing.
• 2:22:47
  Please pay attention to a few things I want to say here.
• 2:22:49
  Very important. The evidence of divine backing.
• 2:22:53
  And they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord walking
• 2:22:59
  with them and confirming the word with signs following
• 2:23:05
  Matthew 28 and verse 20, Matthew chapter 28 and verse 20/28/20,
• 2:23:17
  teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
• 2:23:21
  commanded you. And lo, I am with you all way
• 2:23:26
  while you are about that. I am with you, backing you even
• 2:23:31
  to the end of the age, or the end of the world.
• 2:23:34
  It must be evident that God's hand is on you.
• 2:23:38
  If he sends you, it must be evident that God's hand is upon
• 2:23:43
  you. John chapter 3.
• 2:23:46
  One and two, Nicodemus comes to Jesus by night.
• 2:23:50
  Chapter 3. One and two.
• 2:23:52
  There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the
• 2:23:56
  Jews. Verse 2 The same came to Jesus
• 2:23:59
  by night and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a
• 2:24:03
  teacher. Listen, come from God.
• 2:24:06
  For no man can do these miracles.
• 2:24:09
  No man can build this business. No man can run this
• 2:24:13
  organization. No man can win this election so
• 2:24:17
  effortlessly, regardless the sentiments of man.
• 2:24:21
  No man can build this quality of children.
• 2:24:24
  No man can run a ministry and a vision of this sort except God
• 2:24:30
  be with him. When God sends a man, he also
• 2:24:35
  bugs the man. Write that down.
• 2:24:37
  When God sends a man, he also bugs the man.
• 2:24:43
  And I'm going to give you very quickly 4 things that divine
• 2:24:46
  backing secures. When God sends a man, he also
• 2:24:51
  bugs the man. This is one of the greatest
• 2:24:54
  proof that you are sent by God, in addition to having Christ
• 2:25:00
  like character, in addition to having a clear distinct mandate
• 2:25:06
  that is relevant to the people you are sent to, in addition to
• 2:25:10
  a unique divinely ordained strategy for the execution of
• 2:25:16
  your mandate, in addition to resources and support systems.
• 2:25:22
  That evidence of divine backing is very important.
• 2:25:27
  Write this down. Divine back in secures the
• 2:25:30
  following. When God backs a man, When God
• 2:25:35
  backs A preacher, When God backs a ministry, When God backs a
• 2:25:40
  business woman, When God backs a career woman, When God backs a
• 2:25:46
  nation. The following become evident #1
• 2:25:50
  protection and preservation. When God backs a man.
• 2:25:57
  There is a guarantee of protection and preservation.
• 2:26:01
  Isaiah 5417 Receive it as a prophetic word. 5417 No weapon
• 2:26:08
  that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that
• 2:26:13
  rises up against you in judgment, because God sent you,
• 2:26:17
  you will condemn. The Bible says this is the
• 2:26:22
  heritage of the servants of the Lord.
• 2:26:26
  The Heritage of the Servants of the Lord, Jeremiah 2010 and
• 2:26:30
  11:00. I've read it for you here.
• 2:26:33
  Powerful scripture, for I heard of the defaming of many.
• 2:26:38
  Fear on every side reports, they say, and we will report it all
• 2:26:42
  my familiars watch for my halting saying.
• 2:26:46
  But adventure, he will be enticed.
• 2:26:48
  And we will. Prevail against him, and we
• 2:26:51
  shall take our revenge on him. Hallelujah.
• 2:26:54
  But the Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one.
• 2:26:58
  Therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not
• 2:27:02
  prevail. They shall be greatly ashamed,
• 2:27:05
  for they shall not prosper. Their everlasting confusion
• 2:27:09
  shall never be forgotten. When you fight a man God is
• 2:27:15
  backing, it will look like you are winning until God steps into
• 2:27:19
  the equation. I pray for you.
• 2:27:22
  The fact that God is silent when they are talking about you does
• 2:27:25
  not mean he's weak. One of these days God will arise
• 2:27:29
  like the mighty God that he is, and he will prove to everyone
• 2:27:33
  that he sent you. Somebody said, God, arise, say,
• 2:27:38
  arise. Defend your name over my life,
• 2:27:43
  defend your man, your mandate over my life.
• 2:27:47
  Turn into prayer in one minute. Arise, O God, those who have
• 2:27:52
  mocked your hand upon my life, those who laughed at me in the
• 2:27:56
  secret and in the open. Someone is praying.
• 2:27:59
  They laughed at me as a businessman.
• 2:28:02
  They said you are wasting your time.
• 2:28:04
  They laughed at you as a mother Arise defend your name, let it
• 2:28:10
  declare your hand is upon me in Jesus name.
• 2:28:19
  Please be seated. Second Thessalonians 3 and verse
• 2:28:23
  3 divine backing. When God sends you, he bugs you,
• 2:28:30
  and when he. Bugs you the evidence of
• 2:28:33
  protection and preservation, he says, but the Lord is faithful
• 2:28:39
  who shall establish you and keep you from evil.
• 2:28:45
  Anybody praying for your downfall has found a wasted
• 2:28:48
  project for his life. Anybody praying to hear bad news
• 2:28:54
  about you, There are I'm I'm telling you this.
• 2:28:56
  Listen, listen, listen. Sometimes it looks like we're
• 2:28:58
  sounding negative, but if you grow a bit in this world, you
• 2:29:02
  will know that there are people whose joy their ears are itching
• 2:29:06
  on social media, itchy. They just want to hear that
• 2:29:10
  something is wrong with you, even if they comfort you later.
• 2:29:14
  They want to laugh at you first to prove that you're calling and
• 2:29:18
  your action is not the truth. Or they have found a reason to
• 2:29:21
  waste their time. Because God will preserve you.
• 2:29:26
  He will preserve your testimony. Our Father in the Lord Bishop
• 2:29:31
  Oedeko, when he was celebrating his birthday recently, he was
• 2:29:34
  speaking about 26 lessons there about that he learned.
• 2:29:38
  And Can you imagine with the kind of exploits that God has
• 2:29:41
  used this veteran and general of faith to do?
• 2:29:46
  There were people who said when he started, there were people
• 2:29:50
  even when he progressed, they said he will not last.
• 2:29:53
  He's not the first. Some of us were here.
• 2:29:56
  People sat down and had discussions.
• 2:29:58
  I said don't mind, these guys are not going anywhere.
• 2:30:01
  But it's been decades and we're still standing from glory to
• 2:30:04
  glory. For the hand that lifted me will
• 2:30:12
  uphold me till the end. I will not be afraid.
• 2:30:21
  His hand has lifted me. It will uphold me till the end.
• 2:30:28
  I will not be afraid. Can I tell you this, when men
• 2:30:34
  don't believe in you, don't waste your time going around and
• 2:30:37
  say no, it is the cross of greatness.
• 2:30:42
  But can I tell you this? There is a day God will do
• 2:30:45
  something in your life. They will have to say.
• 2:30:47
  You know what, even though I don't believe this, I can't deny
• 2:30:51
  it. This one is the hand of God and
• 2:30:55
  I'm speaking to someone. This is the week that kind of
• 2:30:58
  testimony will happen to you. Honestly, I pray from my heart,
• 2:31:03
  not next month. This is the week that God
• 2:31:07
  Himself will announce you in a spectacular way.
• 2:31:17
  Hallelujah. Let me give you a word of
• 2:31:19
  warning believers and the body of Christ.
• 2:31:23
  Every time you don't understand what God is doing in people's
• 2:31:26
  lives, just keep quiet and pray. If you run your mouth over
• 2:31:31
  people's destinies, by the time they rise in spite of your loud
• 2:31:36
  advocacy of hatred, you will have to bow your head in shame
• 2:31:40
  forever because those who gossiped about had you.
• 2:31:44
  Later they will betray you because nobody leaves what
• 2:31:48
  works? Eventually they want to
• 2:31:50
  apologize to those they join in the campaign and say sorry, I
• 2:31:54
  was part of those who insulted you and you would share that
• 2:31:58
  campaign. You will keep your head down
• 2:32:00
  forever. Forever.
• 2:32:02
  There are people today who cannot look at the fathers of
• 2:32:04
  faith face to face because they were part of those who predicted
• 2:32:08
  their downfall scientifically and prophetically.
• 2:32:12
  And every time they hear of exploits like this is as if it's
• 2:32:14
  heart attack. Save yourself early death.
• 2:32:19
  Are we together? Don't look at people and say I
• 2:32:25
  don't believe in this man, I don't believe in this one.
• 2:32:28
  He doesn't look like you are not God.
• 2:32:31
  God saw you when he chose them. The fact that he saw you and did
• 2:32:35
  not choose you, you should go back and repent.
• 2:32:38
  It means there's something in your heart he saw.
• 2:32:40
  Are we together now? Oh, this lady is not so educated
• 2:32:45
  and I hear she's running a business with the billions.
• 2:32:48
  Are you sure she's not doing something with any man?
• 2:32:51
  No. Don't vent your frustration
• 2:32:53
  every time you don't understand things.
• 2:32:55
  Just pray I tell you, there are people today they program pain
• 2:33:00
  for their children because of what they've said over others.
• 2:33:04
  This one politician? No.
• 2:33:06
  Then you open your eyes and find out that's your governor.
• 2:33:09
  What do you now do? Imagine the brothers of Joseph
• 2:33:16
  as they stood before him and as they bowed, he said, I'm Joseph,
• 2:33:20
  we're in trouble. He said, don't be afraid.
• 2:33:22
  Put a table for them, let them eat.
• 2:33:24
  You guys meant it for evil. May you not be part of those who
• 2:33:28
  have to say I'm sorry for the rest of your life.
• 2:33:32
  Are we together now? I can tell you stories upon
• 2:33:36
  stories of people who were not believed in, but God was with
• 2:33:41
  them and after mocking them and mocking them.
• 2:33:44
  I know a young man today, he's in the army.
• 2:33:47
  True story, Hallelujah. This man was mocked by his
• 2:33:52
  family and they just looked at him as if he's a dollar.
• 2:33:55
  Will you ever be called? And truly, truly, for a long
• 2:33:59
  time, things were not working in his life.
• 2:34:01
  They were fed up and tired. Today that guy's in the army.
• 2:34:05
  And if Christ studies one day, he'll be a general.
• 2:34:10
  Not everybody will forgive you like Joseph.
• 2:34:12
  Oh, there are people, if they get there, they would deal with
• 2:34:15
  you. Let me just tell you, not
• 2:34:17
  everybody has Joseph's compassion.
• 2:34:20
  Just learn that. Now.
• 2:34:21
  Joseph was a unique case study. Are we together?
• 2:34:34
  If you don't believe in a vision, just keep quiet and keep
• 2:34:38
  doing your own. But if you open your mouth, how
• 2:34:41
  many men of God today had the chance to secure the loyalty of
• 2:34:46
  many young ministers rising? But because the young boys had
• 2:34:49
  headache, maybe some tantrums from this, they just despised
• 2:34:52
  them. And in the midst of their
• 2:34:54
  misbehavior, God was still with them.
• 2:34:57
  Now, in spite of your criticism, they've still reason.
• 2:35:00
  Are you seeing that now? You find out in music, in
• 2:35:04
  ministry, in business, there are many young people who are not
• 2:35:07
  believed in in this Nation Today.
• 2:35:09
  They have become financial wonders.
• 2:35:12
  I'm praying for you. May you not be discouraged
• 2:35:14
  because someone refused to believe in you and.
• 2:35:18
  May you not be the reason for another person's discouragement
• 2:35:22
  in the name of Jesus Christ, that when men are looking for
• 2:35:26
  people to encourage them, may you be the one they think about,
• 2:35:31
  may you be the one they find. Listen, do you know you can earn
• 2:35:36
  a living believing in people? You literally can earn a living
• 2:35:41
  believing in people. There are people today who
• 2:35:44
  believed in me even when the world did not see that glory and
• 2:35:49
  that grace. They deserve my honor eternally
• 2:35:53
  for believing in me. They didn't have to see any
• 2:35:56
  crowd. They didn't have to see any
• 2:35:58
  signs and wonders. The frailty of the vision, they
• 2:36:02
  believed in it. Genuinely.
• 2:36:07
  Every time I have the opportunity to see such people,
• 2:36:10
  I make sure that I communicate gratitude in the best way I can.
• 2:36:15
  There are people today I've made-up my mind that till this,
• 2:36:18
  the day they see the Lord, something must come from me to
• 2:36:21
  them on a regular basis. Do they have any living
• 2:36:25
  believing in me? There are mothers that believed
• 2:36:28
  in me. There are fathers that believed
• 2:36:30
  in me. There are colleagues that
• 2:36:32
  believed in me. There are subordinates that
• 2:36:34
  believed in me. There are senior colleagues and
• 2:36:37
  mentors that believed in me. Can I tell you this?
• 2:36:40
  Not everybody will believe in you.
• 2:36:42
  So when you find those who genuinely believe in you, don't
• 2:36:45
  take them for granted, don't take them for granted.
• 2:36:49
  Protection and preservation. Let's finish up when God backs a
• 2:36:55
  man, what does it secure favor favor Genesis 39.
• 2:37:01
  Let's hurry up from verse one favor.
• 2:37:04
  Genesis 39 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt. 39 one,
• 2:37:10
  And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the God, an
• 2:37:13
  Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelite, which
• 2:37:17
  he had brought him down. Tether verse 2 And the Lord was
• 2:37:22
  with Joseph said divine backing, and he was a prosperous man,
• 2:37:27
  even as a prisoner, and he was in the House of his master, the
• 2:37:32
  Egyptian. Verse 3 And his master saw that
• 2:37:36
  the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he did to
• 2:37:39
  prosper in his hand. For Joseph found grace in his
• 2:37:44
  sight, and he served him, and he made him overseer over his
• 2:37:49
  house, and all that he had put in his hand was 5 And it came to
• 2:37:53
  pass from that time that he made him overseer.
• 2:37:56
  Watch this. And over all that he had, the
• 2:37:59
  Lord blessed the Egyptians house for Josephs sake, and the
• 2:38:03
  blessing of the Lord was upon all that was in the house and in
• 2:38:07
  the field. Verse six Final verse.
• 2:38:09
  And he left all that he had in Josephs hand.
• 2:38:13
  Can you imagine? And he knew not what he had,
• 2:38:16
  save the bread, which he did eat.
• 2:38:19
  And Joseph was a goodly person and well favored to tell you
• 2:38:24
  that was not a mistake. Please jump very quickly to
• 2:38:28
  verse chapter 4141 verse 37. So we see that favor walking in
• 2:38:35
  his life in Potiphar's house. Let's see the same thing
• 2:38:39
  replicated again in Pharaoh's house.
• 2:38:41
  And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, after
• 2:38:44
  interpreting the dreams now and providing solution, and in the
• 2:38:47
  eyes of all his servants. And Pharaoh said to the
• 2:38:50
  servants, Can we find such a one as this is a man in whom the
• 2:38:56
  Spirit of God is? And Pharaoh said unto Joseph,
• 2:38:59
  For as much as Joseph had showed these things, there is none so
• 2:39:03
  discreet and wise as thou art. Watch this.
• 2:39:06
  Same thing happened in Potiphar's house.
• 2:39:09
  Same thing is happening now in Pharaoh's house, because it's
• 2:39:11
  the same God backing him. Thou shall be over my house, and
• 2:39:16
  according unto thy word shall my people be ruled.
• 2:39:19
  Only in the throne will I be greater than thou. 41 And
• 2:39:24
  Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have said thee over all the land
• 2:39:28
  of Egypt. And Pharaoh took off his ring
• 2:39:32
  from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand.
• 2:39:35
  I raid him investors of fine linen, and put a gold chain
• 2:39:39
  about his neck. And he made him to ride in the
• 2:39:43
  second chariot which he had. And they cried before him, bowed
• 2:39:47
  the knee, and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. 44
• 2:39:53
  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee
• 2:39:57
  shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
• 2:40:02
  45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zabnath Pania, and he gave
• 2:40:08
  him to wife Arsenath, the daughter of Potiphara, the
• 2:40:11
  priest of all. And Joseph went over all the
• 2:40:15
  land of Egypt. Please watch this follow
• 2:40:16
  carefully. And Joseph was how old, how old,
• 2:40:22
  how old? 30 years old when he stood
• 2:40:26
  before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. 30 years.
• 2:40:32
  God can come through for a man early.
• 2:40:34
  You don't have to wait until you are 9030 years.
• 2:40:39
  Can you imagine a 30 year old young man had gone through all
• 2:40:42
  this Hellfire? So add 30 years to his age and
• 2:40:47
  see how long. How long did he stay in prison?
• 2:40:50
  How long did he leave his father's house?
• 2:40:52
  How long did they sell him? Do you know that means a major
• 2:40:56
  part of his life was full of trauma, yet he became this from
• 2:41:01
  from a mental health standpoint, a man who had gone through hell
• 2:41:09
  fire sold by his brothers, heartbroken.
• 2:41:13
  Do you know what that means? Lied to by a woman that he raped
• 2:41:17
  her and sent to prison. Two years added again, all
• 2:41:21
  within this 30 years old. Joseph was 30 years when the
• 2:41:30
  Pharaoh made him ruler. You are not too young to rise.
• 2:41:33
  God will honor you. So when God is with you, you
• 2:41:38
  access favor. What next?
• 2:41:40
  Supernatural wisdom when God backs a man.
• 2:41:46
  Because he sent that man, that man accesses supernatural
• 2:41:50
  wisdom. Just write for reference.
• 2:41:53
  I may not have all the time but write it.
• 2:41:56
  Genesis 4133 to 36 steal the story of Joseph divine wisdom
• 2:42:03
  that God gave Joseph to profile solutions to Pharaoh.
• 2:42:07
  Genesis 4133 to 36. How about Daniel in Daniel
• 2:42:12
  chapter 2 from verse 19 to 23 Nebuchadnezzar sleeps and has a
• 2:42:16
  dream and in that dream he saw a number of things.
• 2:42:20
  He got up, forgot the dream and wanted to kill everybody.
• 2:42:23
  And the Bible says then the secret was revealed on to Daniel
• 2:42:26
  in the night vision and he went back gave the solution to the
• 2:42:30
  king. How about King Solomon in first
• 2:42:33
  Kings chapter? 3.
• 2:42:35
  From verse 16 to 28, but just give us 28.
• 2:42:38
  First Kings chapter 316 to 28 but just give us verse 28.
• 2:42:44
  Remember Solomon access wisdom. And there were two harlots, and
• 2:42:48
  there came a contention as to whose child is who.
• 2:42:50
  The Bible says after he judged wisely.
• 2:42:53
  All Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged, and
• 2:42:57
  they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was
• 2:43:02
  in him to do. Judgment, I pray for you.
• 2:43:04
  That will be your. Testimony.
• 2:43:06
  How about Jesus in John chapter 8?
• 2:43:09
  John chapter 8, one to 11. Just write for reference, John
• 2:43:13
  chapter 8, one to 11. I'm showing you instances of
• 2:43:16
  divine wisdom that came as a result of the backing of the
• 2:43:19
  Lord. They caught a woman in adultery,
• 2:43:23
  the very act of it the Bible says, and they brought her to
• 2:43:26
  Jesus. The intention was to blackmail
• 2:43:28
  him and find a way of trapping him.
• 2:43:30
  He wrote on the ground for a while, and then the Bible says
• 2:43:34
  he looked at them and said he who is without sin should cast
• 2:43:37
  the first stone. They were convicted from the
• 2:43:40
  oldest to the youngest. And then he set the woman free
• 2:43:45
  #4. What else do you enjoy?
• 2:43:48
  When God sends you and then backs you supernatural
• 2:43:52
  provision. I spoke already about that.
• 2:43:55
  I wouldn't speak so much, but let's look at 2 case studies.
• 2:43:58
  I'll just write the scriptures. Elijah in First Kings 17 one to
• 2:44:03
  six talks about Brooke cherries. Remember a Raven fed him there
• 2:44:08
  in the morning and he drank water out of the brook in the
• 2:44:13
  night. First Kings chapter 17 one to
• 2:44:16
  six and then from verse 7 the Bible says now in a matter of
• 2:44:20
  time the brook dried up and God now sent him to the widow in
• 2:44:25
  Zarephath. The widow in Zarephath,
• 2:44:30
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
• 2:44:34
  How about John chapter 2, the wedding in Cana of Galilee?
• 2:44:37
  We see supernatural provision water turning to wine from verse
• 2:44:41
  1 to 11. Another example, the feeding of
• 2:44:49
  the 5000 for instance, Jesus took 25 loaf and two fish gave
• 2:44:54
  thanks with it and with it he fed 5000 aside women and
• 2:44:58
  children, Can I tell you this, ladies and gentlemen,
• 2:45:01
  supernatural provision is real. By supernatural it doesn't just
• 2:45:05
  mean falling from heaven. It means touching the hearts of
• 2:45:09
  men in an unusual way to bring resources to you and then
• 2:45:13
  creating value adding systems by wisdom.
• 2:45:16
  So that resources come to you. God steps in supernatural in the
• 2:45:20
  lives of men. As a man, God has placed it in
• 2:45:24
  my heart to bless certain people, some of them people I do
• 2:45:27
  not even know. But he quickens it in my heart
• 2:45:30
  and says bless so, so and so person.
• 2:45:33
  If God can use me as a mortal man to do that to someone, don't
• 2:45:37
  you think God can use someone to do it to you?
• 2:45:39
  Do you believe that? Yes, yes.
• 2:45:48
  One day someone called me and said Apostle, there's an
• 2:45:50
  opportunity for a job and I just want to give you maybe 3 or 4
• 2:45:54
  slots. Are there people that you have
• 2:45:57
  that you can give this job? It demands this, this, this.
• 2:45:59
  If you find people who have disqualification, let them get
• 2:46:03
  on the job. And I thought to myself, I said,
• 2:46:04
  Can you imagine someone is sitting down trying to do this
• 2:46:07
  and another person comes to see you to give a job.
• 2:46:10
  It's it's not a job everybody can do.
• 2:46:12
  But I'm, I mean, the fact that someone can see you and say,
• 2:46:15
  look, I believe that ABCD, if they have disqualification and
• 2:46:19
  that qualification, they can get the job.
• 2:46:22
  I'm praying for you. While you are seated quietly at
• 2:46:25
  home. By the message of God, God will
• 2:46:27
  put your name in the heart of someone.
• 2:46:31
  They will open doors for you. They will bless you.
• 2:46:34
  They will recommend your business in the name of Jesus
• 2:46:38
  Christ. When God backs a man, his divine
• 2:46:43
  backing secures authority, authority, authority first.
• 2:46:49
  Kings, 1714 to 24. First King 1714 to 24.
• 2:46:54
  We're not reading it, you just put it there.
• 2:46:56
  This is again the prophet speaking to the woman that a
• 2:47:00
  barrel of meals shall not waste. He spoke it by the mouth of the
• 2:47:04
  Lord and it happened that way. And then the Bible says
• 2:47:08
  eventually the Son died and there was a miracle again
• 2:47:12
  authority in Mark chapter 4 from verse 39 that one will read it.
• 2:47:16
  The coming of the storm 39 to 41.
• 2:47:19
  The Bible tells us that he arose and he rebuked the wind for God
• 2:47:24
  was with him, for God sent him. He had divine authority.
• 2:47:29
  He calmed the sea and the wind ceased and verse 40 the Bible
• 2:47:34
  says, and he said to them, why are you fearful?
• 2:47:37
  How is it that you have no faith?
• 2:47:39
  41 is profound. They feared exceedingly and said
• 2:47:43
  unto one another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind
• 2:47:48
  and the sea obey him? I'm telling you elemental forces
• 2:47:51
  will obey you when God sends you, when God backs you, it will
• 2:47:55
  show you will speak and things will happen.
• 2:47:57
  In Matthew chapter 10 from verse one the Bible says Jesus called
• 2:48:02
  them 10. Verse 1 he called them his 12
• 2:48:05
  disciples and he gave them power against unclean spirits to cast
• 2:48:11
  them out and to heal all manner of sicknesses and all manner of
• 2:48:16
  diseases. Jump to verse 7 and he said as
• 2:48:18
  you go preach saying the Kingdom of heaven is at hand,
• 2:48:24
  demonstrate that you were sent by God.
• 2:48:26
  Verse 8 by healing the sick, cleansing the lepers, raising
• 2:48:31
  the dead, cast, sitting out devils freely you have received
• 2:48:35
  freely give. Luke chapter 433 Divine backing
• 2:48:42
  secures authority. In the synagogue there was a man
• 2:48:47
  which had an unclean spirit, and he cried out with a loud voice
• 2:48:52
  saying, Let us alone, what have we to do with thee, Thou Jesus
• 2:48:56
  of Nazareth, are thou come to destroy us?
• 2:48:59
  I know thee, who thou art, the Holy One of God.
• 2:49:03
  And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold your peace, and come out of
• 2:49:07
  him. And when the devil had thrown
• 2:49:09
  him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
• 2:49:12
  Verse 36. The Bible says.
• 2:49:14
  And they were all amazed, and speak among themselves, saying,
• 2:49:18
  What a word is this? For which authority and power he
• 2:49:23
  commanded the unclean spirits, and they obey him. 37 And the
• 2:49:28
  fame of him went out into every place of the country round
• 2:49:33
  about. Ladies and gentlemen, God sends
• 2:49:36
  men. When God sends men, it is your
• 2:49:40
  responsibility to work in partnership with the Spirit of
• 2:49:43
  grace to make your calling and your election show.
• 2:49:47
  And that when God backs you, there are evidences, there are
• 2:49:51
  things that show that God has not only sent you, but that he's
• 2:49:56
  back in you. Let me conclude on this wise and
• 2:49:59
  then we'll pray John 17 and verse 18 a portion of Scripture.
• 2:50:03
  We started with amplified. Unfortunately, they couldn't get
• 2:50:09
  that amplified. Let me read my own amplified
• 2:50:11
  here John chapter. I don't know how many versions
• 2:50:14
  of. Amplified we have, but I trust
• 2:50:17
  my own John 17 and verse 18 powerful rendition.
• 2:50:23
  Let me pull it up here for you, John chapter 17 and then verse
• 2:50:27
  18. Here's what my amplified says.
• 2:50:30
  Listen, it says just as you commissioned and sent me into
• 2:50:36
  the world. That's right.
• 2:50:38
  I don't know which amplified, but that's the correct
• 2:50:40
  amplified. Just as you commissioned and
• 2:50:43
  sent me, you see there into the world, I also have commissioned
• 2:50:48
  and sent them believers into the world.
• 2:50:51
  Say I am commissioned, say I am sent.
• 2:50:56
  The devil did not hear you say I am commissioned and I am sent.
• 2:51:01
  So I said, just as you commissioned and sent me with
• 2:51:05
  the same backing, with the same equipping, with the same
• 2:51:08
  mentality, I have sent you, I have sent you John chapter 20
• 2:51:16
  and verse 21/20/21. He said unto them, Peace be unto
• 2:51:26
  you. As my father has sent me
• 2:51:28
  Koinonia, Even so send I, you, I.
• 2:51:36
  Receive. Your power and your wisdom, till
• 2:51:48
  the nation's see Jesus lifted up, exalted I receive.
• 2:52:00
  I. Manifest.
• 2:52:04
  Your power. And you always stop till the
• 2:52:09
  nation see Jesus. Lift it up, Glorify I receive, I
• 2:52:22
  manifest your power. And you always stop till the
• 2:52:31
  nation see Jesus. I receive, I manifest your power
• 2:52:50
  and always start till the nation see Jesus.
• 2:53:01
  Live data, glory fire. Breathe, Lord, breathe, Lord,
• 2:53:09
  breathe. Lord, breathe.
• 2:53:17
  Lord, breathe. Lord, breathe.
• 2:53:20
  Lord, breathe. One more time, sing.
• 2:53:25
  Breathe Lord dream, Lord, breathe, breathe, Lord, breathe,
• 2:53:32
  breathe. Upon my life I receive a
• 2:53:39
  manifest. You're free.
• 2:53:42
  Your power and your we start to the nation.
• 2:53:51
  See Jesus leave that out. Exotic.
• 2:54:21
  Go ahead and. Begin to pray in the Spirit
• 2:54:23

  You. You may be Yoruba by natural
• 2:57:23
  descent, Ebo by natural descent, Middle Belt and S Southerner
• 2:57:29
  European American, but you are sent by God.
• 2:57:36
  There was a man sent from God. There was a prophet sent from
• 2:57:41
  God, a dispensational witness, not just a career person.
• 2:57:58
  In Jesus name we pray, Listen to me.
• 2:58:03
  If you carry a sentimentality, you will stop looking beggarly
• 2:58:11
  and you will stop waiting for men to pity you.
• 2:58:16
  It's a different thing to secure the help of men versus securing
• 2:58:21
  the pity of men. Are we together?
• 2:58:26
  You must believe you are sent. Say I'm a blessing.
• 2:58:30
  Say it. Say it like you believe it.
• 2:58:32
  Say I'm a blessing. Say I'm not a nuisance.
• 2:58:36
  The devil is a liar. Don't let the devil listen.
• 2:58:39
  Listen. We're wrapping up, but I want to
• 2:58:42
  minister to someone in one minute.
• 2:58:44
  That voice that keeps making you believe that you have to do
• 2:58:49
  things to belong. That belonging mentality.
• 2:58:53
  Throw it out of the window. Anybody who does not believe in
• 2:58:56
  you is because they are not part of your assignment.
• 2:58:59
  Leave them alone and wait for those who believe you.
• 2:59:02
  Those who believe you, when they see you, they will see the
• 2:59:05
  treasure in you. Stop going around trying to beg
• 2:59:09
  for people's attention. That's not your assignment.
• 2:59:11
  You are noble and you are valuable.
• 2:59:14
  I'm not saying to dishonor people, and I'm not saying to
• 2:59:17
  disregard greatness when you see it, but anybody who has to
• 2:59:21
  dehumanize you in order to belong to their group, get out
• 2:59:25
  immediately. It means that it's not God.
• 2:59:29
  Are we together? Don't let anybody bully you.
• 2:59:32
  If anybody has gone ahead of you, celebrate God for their
• 2:59:35
  life. But tell them, I'm also coming.
• 2:59:37
  I'm not competing with you. You can go, I'm happy for you,
• 2:59:40
  but just be sure you are not the only one going there.
• 2:59:43
  I'm on my way coming. I may not have food to eat now.
• 2:59:46
  I'm proud of my today. I will work out my salvation
• 2:59:50
  with dignity because I know that it's only for a season.
• 2:59:54
  Hallelujah. Don't waste your time responding
• 2:59:57
  to mockers and small minded naysayers.
• 3:00:00
  No in disguise. They are the witnesses to your
• 3:00:04
  compliance to the law of growth. When you get there, they will be
• 3:00:08
  the ones who say we saw her, we saw him, Hallelujah.
• 3:00:15
  But I want to leave you with a mentality tonight, Koinonia.
• 3:00:19
  You are sent from God. You are sent by God.
• 3:00:23
  Find a way of believing this. You are sent to a generation.
• 3:00:29
  And if for any reason nobody has appreciated what God has given
• 3:00:33
  you is because you've been going to a wrong audience.
• 3:00:36
  May God take you to the right people.
• 3:00:41
  Hallelujah. I thank my generation for
• 3:00:46
  receiving me. I thank my generation for
• 3:00:48
  believing in me. But I can tell you this, ladies
• 3:00:52
  and gentlemen, if you don't walk out your salvation with fear and
• 3:00:56
  trembling and just fold your arms in jealousy and anger, you
• 3:01:00
  will remain angry forever, whereas other people will keep
• 3:01:04
  doing great things for the Kingdom.
• 3:01:06
  Take away anger. The same Lord is reached unto
• 3:01:08
  all. Begin your journey.
• 3:01:10
  Walk your way gradually with the dignity of Kingdom integrity,
• 3:01:14
  without competition, without comparison.
• 3:01:19
  Our achievements in the Kingdom will be in various degrees, but
• 3:01:22
  the most important thing is that you fulfill your mandate.
• 3:01:26
  Is someone learning? Now praise the name of the Lord,
• 3:01:29
  Wave your hands to Jesus and give Him praise for everything
• 3:01:32
  you have learned tonight. Wave your hands, give him
• 3:01:37
  praise, give him praise because you are that man who is
• 3:01:40
  available, willing to live by the demands that make for a
• 3:01:45
  worthy vessel, a dispensational witness, the name of Jesus.
• 3:01:52
  Hallelujah. Never forget that when God sends
• 3:01:56
  a man, among the many evidences that must be seen in his life is
• 3:02:01
  the evidence of maturity. The.
• 3:02:03
  Character of Christ especially. The evidence of a clear,
• 3:02:07
  distinct mandate from God that must be relevant to those He
• 3:02:12
  sent, to. The evidence of a unique,
• 3:02:16
  divinely ordained strategy for the execution of that mandate
• 3:02:20
  unhindered. The evidence of access to
• 3:02:24
  resources and support systems, both human and material.
• 3:02:29
  And then the evidence of divine backing, securing protection and
• 3:02:35
  preservation, securing favor, securing supernatural wisdom,
• 3:02:41
  securing provision, and empowering the individual to
• 3:02:45
  manifest undeniable Kingdom authority.
• 3:02:50
  Let me make the altar call and I speak over your life.
• 3:02:53
  All these will be far from you until Jesus is Lord of your
• 3:02:58
  life. Every week we receive people
• 3:03:03
  here. Who on hearing me teach, on
• 3:03:07
  hearing the word of God come, are convicted by the Spirit of
• 3:03:10
  God to make it right with Jesus. Someone who came to church and
• 3:03:15
  listening to me as you heard me speak.
• 3:03:18
  The only way to be sent from God is that you are connected to
• 3:03:22
  Him. If you don't have a functional
• 3:03:24
  relationship with Jesus, your life will not be proof that you
• 3:03:28
  were sent from God. Wherever you are, I want to
• 3:03:31
  quickly give you an opportunity. Please pick your bags, your
• 3:03:34
  Bibles, whatever you came to church with.
• 3:03:36
  I'm going to count 1 to 5 and I need a few sincere people to
• 3:03:40
  come stand before me here. Don't wait for anyone to be the
• 3:03:43
  first. Wherever you are, please
• 3:03:44
  celebrate them as they come. Someone who is bold enough to
• 3:03:47
  come and stand for Jesus. God bless you as you come.
• 3:03:50
  God bless you, Sir. God bless you.
• 3:03:52
  I see a dear brother coming. Are you celebrating the ones who
• 3:03:55
  are coming? God bless you my sister.
• 3:03:58
  Keep clapping, celebrate them. God bless you.
• 3:04:00
  Thank you, Jesus is able to give you a new beginning today.
• 3:04:05
  God bless you. Thank you for not being ashamed.
• 3:04:07
  Thank you for not being afraid. Takes a lot of courage to stand
• 3:04:11
  here. That's why we're celebrating
• 3:04:12
  you. Come the wisest decision you can
• 3:04:14
  make. God bless you, God bless you,
• 3:04:19
  God bless you, God bless you. Keep coming.
• 3:04:22
  Our God. He's an awesome God.
• 3:04:25
  He reigns from heaven above with me. 1 more.
• 3:04:46
  Time. If you're joining them, join
• 3:04:55
  quickly. Quickly.
• 3:05:02
  Thank you very much, my brothers and my sisters, for those who
• 3:05:05
  are making this decision online. You're connected across the
• 3:05:09
  globe and you're making this decision right now, right here.
• 3:05:13
  I want you to make it believing that salvation can be yours upon
• 3:05:17
  the confession of your faith, like I'll be leading you through
• 3:05:20
  right now. Jesus becomes Lord of your life.
• 3:05:23
  It's a fact based on the authority of God's Word.
• 3:05:25
  Thank you very much for all of you who are in front here.
• 3:05:27
  Please lift your right hand, if you can, higher above your head
• 3:05:30
  as a sign of surrender. Say this after me as loud and as
• 3:05:33
  clear as you can. Say, Lord Jesus, tonight I have
• 3:05:38
  heard your word. I believe you are the Son of
• 3:05:42
  God. I believe you died for my sins.
• 3:05:47
  I believe you rose again for my justification right now.
• 3:05:54
  I received Jesus into my heart as my Savior, my Lord, and my
• 3:06:01
  King. I declare that the power of sin,
• 3:06:06
  Satan, hell, and the grave is broken over my life from
• 3:06:12
  tonight. I'm a child of God.
• 3:06:15
  I go for whatever and back whatever.
• 3:06:19
  Amen. Keep your hands lifted, Father.
• 3:06:20
  Thank you for these beautiful brothers and sisters that have
• 3:06:24
  come declaring Your Lordship, those on site and the many who
• 3:06:27
  are online and those across the overflows everywhere inside and
• 3:06:31
  outside. Thank you Father, because no man
• 3:06:34
  can come to you except you cause them to approach you.
• 3:06:37
  These ones have come declaring Your Lordship and based on the
• 3:06:40
  authority of Scripture, we declare in the name of Jesus
• 3:06:43
  that eternal life becomes theirs right now.
• 3:06:46
  They are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and from
• 3:06:49
  tonight the grace to live the victorious Christian life is
• 3:06:52
  yours. You go for whatever and back
• 3:06:56
  whatever, and I decree and declare from the teaching
• 3:06:59
  tonight your life will gradually begin to be an evidence that God
• 3:07:04
  sent you as a blessing to your generation in Jesus, much less
• 3:07:09
  name. We pray, Please look to my
• 3:07:11
  right. You'll find a counselor who will
• 3:07:14
  lead you to a group of counselors and they will have a
• 3:07:16
  word and prayer with you. We're very brief and very quick.
• 3:07:20
  Thereafter you return to your seat.
• 3:07:21
  Let's honor them as they go. Thank you, thank you, thank you,
• 3:07:28
  thank you. Hallelujah.
• 3:07:34
  Glory be to Jesus. Glory be to Jesus.
• 3:07:38
  Have you been blessed Tonight? As always, let me encourage you
• 3:07:41
  to go back. Listen to the message again.
• 3:07:44
  It's a culture and it's a rule in this House that we believe
• 3:07:48
  that no matter what we hear, we don't hear everything the first
• 3:07:52
  time. I listen to every message I
• 3:07:55
  preach, at least truthfully speaking two or three times in
• 3:07:58
  the week. And then when I receive the
• 3:08:01
  engrafted words, make sure you follow the engrafted words.
• 3:08:04
  These are words that teachings that are tailor made for your
• 3:08:09
  growth. So look out through our social
• 3:08:11
  media. Once you find them uploaded,
• 3:08:13
  please go for them. Listen.
• 3:08:15
  But if I were you, I would listen to tonight's teaching
• 3:08:18
  carefully. Making notes at the point of
• 3:08:21
  knowledge is application, not just information.
• 3:08:24
  You pray it into your heart and then be prepared to live by the
• 3:08:28
  truth therein. And the Lord will bless you in
• 3:08:30
  the name of Jesus Christ. I speak the blessing over your
• 3:08:33
  life for the weak in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 3:08:36
  This week, manifest the wisdom of God.
• 3:08:39
  This week, manifest the favor of God.

  authority this week like never before.

  It will be evident through your life that God is with you.
• 3:08:56
  It will be evident through your life that God raised you for
• 3:08:59
  such a time as this in the name of Jesus.
• 3:09:03
  Every power fighting your manifestation, we declare that
• 3:09:07
  power gives way. Now every power fighting, you're
• 3:09:11
  rising, you're shining, you're becoming, you're evolving.
• 3:09:15
  We declare that power gives way now.
• 3:09:18
  I call you the head and not the tail again.
• 3:09:21
  I declare you are the head and not the tail.
• 3:09:24
  I declare you are above and not beneath because you are the
• 3:09:28
  righteous. I declare it is well with you.

  no business with assaults from wicked men.
• 3:09:45
  The Lord will preserve your testimony.
• 3:09:48
  And like I said, this week, may it be your week of evidence, the
• 3:09:52
  Lord will show through your life that he has lifted a man, that
• 3:09:56
  He has lifted a woman, that He has honored a man, that he has
• 3:10:00
  honored a woman, that he has found a man, that that he has
• 3:10:03
  found a woman. In the name of Jesus this week,
