0:24
Speaker 1: to be heard, and all who pay attention to my
0:27
Speaker 1: word on your lips will not lack light and direction.
0:33

0:37
Speaker 1: kingdom minded, culture shapers and global leaders. With Apostle Family, Lazarus,
0:44
Speaker 1: every minute counts as you listen attentively.
0:52
Speaker 2: So I showed you last Streek.
0:53
Speaker 3: We're going to continue on that same series foundations, and
1:02
Speaker 3: the aim of this teaching is to.
1:06
Speaker 2: Help all of us.
1:10
Speaker 3: Redig around our foundations, particularly the foundation of our faith,
1:17
Speaker 3: the foundation of our faith to the end that will
1:20
Speaker 3: become rooted and established.
1:23
Speaker 2: Is that okay?
1:25
Speaker 3: E is that cly now to the end that will
1:27
Speaker 3: become what rooted and established in the faith? Now Paul,
1:37
Speaker 3: speaking in First Corinthians, they verse ten, which is our
1:42
Speaker 3: uncle first Corenance three ten says, according to the grace
1:47
Speaker 3: of God, which is given on to me as a
1:50
Speaker 3: wise master builder. I have laid the foundation and are
1:54
Speaker 3: not builded thereon. But let everyone take it out of
1:58
Speaker 3: the word build, And we read that same scripture in
2:10
Speaker 3: message translation, which gives a bit more clarity to what
2:18
Speaker 3: Paul was saying. Transcurrits retained message translation using the gifts
2:26
Speaker 3: God gave me as a good architect, I designed blueprints.
2:32
Speaker 2: Apollos is putting up the worlds.
2:36
Speaker 3: Let each capenter who comes on the job take care
2:40
Speaker 3: to build onward the foundation. What's the foundation? The blueprint?
2:47
Speaker 3: So there is the blueprint of our faith. As beautiful
2:54
Speaker 3: as salvation is, it is only the beginning of a journey,
2:59
Speaker 3: not the concut of the journey. We have been saved,
3:05
Speaker 3: all right. And what happens that salvation is what is
3:08
Speaker 3: called new beds. That means that you have been born
3:14
Speaker 3: and new. You've been born again. And the part of
3:18
Speaker 3: you that is born again is not your flesh. Your
3:24
Speaker 3: flesh is not what gets born again. Your mind is
3:30
Speaker 3: not what God's born again. It is your spirit. So
3:35
Speaker 3: that salvation you've been translated from death. Role Man seemed
3:43
Speaker 3: from the beginning and genes the number three and rebelled
3:46
Speaker 3: against God. And in other words, he declared independence from God.
3:50
Speaker 3: And God did say to him that the day you
3:53
Speaker 3: eat of this thing, you will surely die.
3:56
Speaker 2: And he died. To die is to seize from existence.
4:03
Speaker 3: So what happens is that he died in the m
4:07
Speaker 3: that God was, that God is, you know, the same
4:10
Speaker 3: way someone can be alive and the person is dead
4:13
Speaker 3: to you.
4:15
Speaker 2: So he died.
4:21
Speaker 3: He died, and when God came in the cool of
4:24
Speaker 3: the evening in the garden for the first time in
4:27
Speaker 3: his existence, in new shame.
4:30
Speaker 2: Because something had left.
4:33
Speaker 3: You see, believers, we must be conscious of the glory
4:36
Speaker 3: that covers us more than clothes. That if you're not
4:41
Speaker 3: conscious of that, a man can still be wearing a
4:45
Speaker 3: very fine clothes.
4:46
Speaker 2: But in the spirit Ram is naked. I'll show you
4:52
Speaker 2: my wife.
4:54
Speaker 3: I yes, back, I saw a fly, that a simple fly,
5:00
Speaker 3: and I saw someone on the fly, and I just
5:04
Speaker 3: asked my wife. I said, hey, who took clothes off
5:07
Speaker 3: this person? I mean the fellow was wearing clothed. This
5:12
Speaker 3: fellow for the first time I've been seeing this fellow,
5:14
Speaker 3: I mean, he is a very powerful person. But for
5:15
Speaker 3: that first time, I felt the fellow was naked. About
5:20
Speaker 3: a few days later we found out what apponed. People
5:23
Speaker 3: may not be able to see that glory with the
5:25
Speaker 3: physical eyes, But do you just know there's something there?
5:28
Speaker 3: If it lifts, the absence will showed that something was there.
5:33
Speaker 3: You see, Listen, you must be conscious of what matters.
5:36
Speaker 3: You must be conscious of the glory that covers. Is
5:40
Speaker 3: that Okay? Now, even at dam and it's falling state,
5:42
Speaker 3: knew was naked in its falling states. He knew something
5:47
Speaker 3: that left. So because man seined through one man, death
5:53
Speaker 3: scene entered the world, and death true Sein, and the
5:59
Speaker 3: verdict of death was passed on to all men, and.
6:03
Speaker 2: By one man's obedience. Even so we'll.
6:06
Speaker 3: Receive the gift of righteousness to the obedience of Christ.
6:10
Speaker 3: That if any man now be in Christ, he is
6:14
Speaker 3: a new not a part on the creature knew.
6:19
Speaker 2: And the word new men has never been put to use.
6:26
Speaker 3: If you buy a new car, the mileage should be zero.
6:32
Speaker 3: If you buy a new car and the myleg is
6:33
Speaker 3: one twenty four thousand something something or God new no
6:44
Speaker 3: record of the past. He's a new creator. All things
6:51
Speaker 3: are passed.
6:52
Speaker 2: Away, and the old all things and new.
6:55
Speaker 3: And I see many of you just jump to seven
6:57
Speaker 3: Convenance five verse seventeen. But something ped was saying, let
6:59
Speaker 3: me for we used to know Christ after the fledge,
7:01
Speaker 3: but now knowing him no more. That is, it doesn't
7:06
Speaker 3: matter if you know someone as the leader of those
7:08
Speaker 3: who smoke weed in your environment.
7:10
Speaker 2: If the fellow is born again, knowing him no more sah.
7:15
Speaker 3: It's translated, the manifestation of the act of sin is
7:19
Speaker 3: dead because of the nature of sin.
7:21
Speaker 2: And that's why when we go.
7:22
Speaker 3: To preach, you are not diagnosing people symptomatically. To every
7:27
Speaker 3: symptom there's a procuse something is responsible for the symptoms.
7:32
Speaker 3: You don't go say.
7:37
Speaker 2: Just lied, now now.
7:41
Speaker 3: A lied, because they're seen, yes, and the new creature life, Yes, sir,
7:50
Speaker 3: new man in Christ, they lie. But it ought not
7:55
Speaker 3: to be so, because when you were saved, when you
8:00
Speaker 3: receive Jesus as your Lord and savior, the work was
8:04
Speaker 3: done in your spirit. But when it comes to your mind.
8:08
Speaker 3: I love the way James put it in James Chapter
8:10
Speaker 3: number one. He said, but received with meekness, then grafted
8:14
Speaker 3: the word of God, which.
8:15
Speaker 2: Is able to save your soul. That's your mind as
8:21
Speaker 2: you're receiving the world.
8:23
Speaker 3: It is washing that all right place where you make
8:26
Speaker 3: decisions you fed it with different junks.
8:30
Speaker 2: It's been exposed to different things. All right.
8:32
Speaker 3: Maybe you've been seeing naked women and now you can't
8:36
Speaker 3: possibly see Christian sistars without imagining nakedness. It's because of
8:40
Speaker 3: the dam that has been done to the mind. And
8:42
Speaker 3: even as the bonn again Christian, you can carry that
8:45
Speaker 3: damage all your life until you expose yourself to the
8:47
Speaker 3: world of God that begin to clean you. Look at
8:51
Speaker 3: what Romance chapter number twelve, from verse two says. Let's
8:55
Speaker 3: let's not from verse one, so you can have contextual knowledge.
8:58
Speaker 2: Romance twift one.
8:59
Speaker 3: I received you there by the mess of God, that
9:01
Speaker 3: you present your words bodies a living sacrifice, only an
9:05
Speaker 3: acceptable one to God, which is a reasonable service. Look
9:08
Speaker 3: at us two and be not confirmed to this world,
9:11
Speaker 3: but being transformed by the renewing of your mind. So
9:16
Speaker 3: how does that happen out of your mind gathering you
9:18
Speaker 3: the world. The church therefore is not a religious center.
9:25
Speaker 3: The church is not a religious gathering. Religion is man made.
9:33
Speaker 3: Religion is man's attempt to reach God. When the church gathers,
9:39
Speaker 3: we are not at teaching is in amiss. The best
9:46
Speaker 3: that describes the church is the word ECCLSIA, out of Senate,
9:51
Speaker 3: out of representatives.
9:53
Speaker 2: The congregation of lawmakers. How are you following me? Now?
9:59
Speaker 2: So the church is not a religious center.
10:03
Speaker 3: The church is not a religions center when we come indeed,
10:08
Speaker 3: God is.
10:08
Speaker 2: In our mess.
10:10
Speaker 3: And now you've heard people say things like, well if
10:14
Speaker 3: I worship God in my house and all that, and
10:18
Speaker 3: then God is there too.
10:19
Speaker 2: So I really don't have.
10:21
Speaker 3: To be a part of any church to touch God.
10:23
Speaker 3: I can touch God by myself. I really, you see,
10:26
Speaker 3: That's why I'm here this morning. You know, one of
10:32
Speaker 3: the words or name that a Bible use to describe
10:38
Speaker 3: the devil was captured in the Book of Peter.
10:40
Speaker 2: It said, be sober and the vigilant.
10:46
Speaker 3: For the devil your adversary roams about.
10:51
Speaker 2: Like the world. Like.
10:53
Speaker 3: This is a qualitative word, all right. It is describing,
10:58
Speaker 3: It is qualifying. What is with something that best described?
11:02
Speaker 3: He said, like a wounded lion? Okay, looking for womb indivo.
11:12
Speaker 3: Lions are not known to job's attack. M. Well, I'm
11:19
Speaker 3: not going to try that to verify.
11:22
Speaker 2: It's a business to try, but ideally, but.
11:27
Speaker 3: When they get wounded, they attack h M. And lions
11:32
Speaker 3: don't attack animals impact. They wait while relater animals. You see,
11:46
Speaker 3: nobody who separates himself or herself from the Church ever finished. Well,
11:55
Speaker 3: you see, they may have a sense of doctrine that
11:58
Speaker 3: Joseph I was they seemed to be doing, maybe a
12:00
Speaker 3: product of bitterness, maybe a product of confusion, maybe a
12:03
Speaker 3: product of it. They may say all those things, and
12:06
Speaker 3: while they are still talking and everything is looking cool
12:09
Speaker 3: and all that, it's just a matter of time before
12:11
Speaker 3: you understand the reason why God sets the solitary families.
12:17
Speaker 2: It is God. The church is not man's idea. It
12:22
Speaker 2: is God's idea. The church is not man made. It
12:31
Speaker 2: is God's idea.
12:33
Speaker 3: And that's why one of the words used to describe
12:36
Speaker 3: the church is also the word body of Christ.
12:41
Speaker 2: It is the vine.
12:43
Speaker 3: We are the branches, and it is important that the
12:48
Speaker 3: branch stays on the vine.
12:50
Speaker 2: Ifn not its So you understand this.
12:57
Speaker 3: It is God who plan us in church, and it
13:03
Speaker 3: is not optional. If we're going to run a Christian race, well,
13:09
Speaker 3: if we're going to finish well, if we're going to
13:13
Speaker 3: fulfill our destiny in Christ, then we must be in church.
13:21
Speaker 2: How about I am the church? So does the church
13:26
Speaker 2: have to go to church?
13:27
Speaker 3: No, you don't understand what you're saying. You see, there
13:34
Speaker 3: can never be a correct answer to your wrong question
13:39
Speaker 3: because sometimes people ask questions and a few people are
13:43
Speaker 3: not smart enough to give them answers. Meanwhile, they are
13:46
Speaker 3: not smart enough to ask the right question. Let me
13:53
Speaker 3: show you a scripture Ebrews, chapter number ten, verse twenty five.
14:01
Speaker 2: Let's read this together. One to three? Go? Do you
14:15
Speaker 2: already it? One more time loud than Claire wants to three.
14:17
Speaker 2: Go not forsaken.
14:32
Speaker 3: The assembly assembling of ourselves? What does that word means? Well?
14:38
Speaker 2: Us where you get the world assembly?
14:41
Speaker 3: So you can hear the world onlygos assembly, or you
14:44
Speaker 3: can hear the word pentacles assembly, or you can hear
14:47
Speaker 3: the word all that.
14:48
Speaker 2: I'm not you went to.
14:50
Speaker 3: Schools that you had your assembly grounds. I'm not really
14:55
Speaker 3: liked assembly grounds. Then I know you won't like it.
15:00
Speaker 3: It needs a wear sox and in my school you
15:07
Speaker 3: have to wear tie. It is to wear time. It
15:11
Speaker 3: is a light time.
15:13
Speaker 2: That's why you're wearing cartan now right.
15:19
Speaker 3: But it is on assembly ground that you are congregated.
15:27
Speaker 3: That's where people from different class come together. And if
15:32
Speaker 3: there's anything that is an information that needs to be
15:36
Speaker 3: passed across.
15:36
Speaker 2: It is passed across in the assembly ground.
15:39
Speaker 3: If you are Bona Frite students, you ought to be
15:42
Speaker 3: in the assembly ground. If you're a Bona Frid believer,
15:45
Speaker 3: it's your assembly. You should assembly. You should assembly, and
15:52
Speaker 3: I'll show you. We'll go on a minute. I'm going
15:54
Speaker 3: to show you why isolation is deception m hm. And
16:01
Speaker 3: the devil will give you many reasons. And let me
16:03
Speaker 3: let me say this loud and Claire.
16:06
Speaker 2: You see.
16:09
Speaker 3: I've taken my time to understand the reason why we
16:14
Speaker 3: have many conclusions. An average Christian cannot survive one of
16:24
Speaker 3: friends in church and the next thing you see is
16:30
Speaker 3: amount of that place m hm. Because it's churche art.
16:40
Speaker 3: See more times than I can number, it is churge
16:43
Speaker 3: people outing themselves off. You liven't think church art is
16:46
Speaker 3: about pastors outing people. I'm telling you, if you see
16:51
Speaker 3: what then they do past or So for instance, if
17:01
Speaker 3: someone comes to church and the breast is open, everything
17:06
Speaker 3: that is dignified should be covered, and someone says, cover that.
17:11
Speaker 4: Thing, sorry, says all these charge people. I've emotional ight now, ah, auntie,
17:34
Speaker 4: if you are working in love, you.
17:35
Speaker 2: Protect the heart of someone else. My body, my.
17:44
Speaker 3: Body positivity. You know in I don't know if they
17:50
Speaker 3: do that in America or United Kingdom. That's something they
17:52
Speaker 3: called summer body, where people use the winter and fall
18:01
Speaker 3: to go to gym and prepare their body to be
18:04
Speaker 3: exposed during summer.
18:10
Speaker 2: I don't want to describe anything. Can you be amissed?
18:17
Speaker 2: So when we gather.
18:20
Speaker 3: First, it is important that we have a sense of
18:24
Speaker 3: understanding that the church is not just the place. This
18:28
Speaker 3: is my spiritual family. On head, Hold on a minute, listen, it.
18:34
Speaker 2: Is my.
18:36
Speaker 3: Spiritual family. You are my family. Which state are you from?
18:42
Speaker 3: A door state?
18:43
Speaker 2: Ah?
18:44
Speaker 3: I don't know what languages speak there and how they
18:48
Speaker 3: say it, and.
18:49
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.
18:52
Speaker 3: You have your own culture, but in church we are
18:55
Speaker 3: united by the culture of the world. So there's nothing
19:01
Speaker 3: like do People's church or eve bad People's Chorge or
19:06
Speaker 3: Ebo People's.
19:06
Speaker 2: Short kick gum. We are united eight kikes.
19:12
Speaker 3: And we prop our cultures at the door for the culture.
19:15
Speaker 2: Of the world. It is our family. Our bad lance
19:27
Speaker 2: is because one time someone was duped in church.
19:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, someone became the person's prayer partner. Hold on a minute,
19:54
Speaker 3: and set things like can you say I'm some where?
20:01
Speaker 3: I just need to quickly pay for this. I'm going
20:02
Speaker 3: to be phoned back back. I think it was just
20:04
Speaker 3: about sixteen million or there. I wait, I'm just trying
20:17
Speaker 3: to clear you that no family is perfect yet because
20:27
Speaker 3: wait this one, this example is a disclaimer so that
20:32
Speaker 3: you're not see oppose you are the one saying family.
20:35
Speaker 2: I'm trying to show you what goes on in family.
20:37
Speaker 3: Do you understand? This is sister or sister? Sorry, sisters,
20:45
Speaker 3: And she sent the money. She even shaid the test
20:50
Speaker 3: money better domno video understand And from the moment she
20:54
Speaker 3: said the money, the house this sister, the prayer sister
20:57
Speaker 3: said she was living, ended up not being the house
21:00
Speaker 3: vanished without the choice. So even for spiritual family, the
21:10
Speaker 3: devil don't creep in sometimes, but we owe everybody love.
21:17
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to show you so that you don't
21:20
Speaker 3: go about expecting perfection where there's no perfection. The same way,
21:27
Speaker 3: on your assembly ground, you have those from just one,
21:30
Speaker 3: just two, Jess three to Scess three, and they are
21:33
Speaker 3: a different.
21:33
Speaker 2: Level of matity. Yes, is that okay? Now?
21:37
Speaker 3: So when we assemble, it is a gathering of sheep
21:41
Speaker 3: and goats. Hold on that, then the goods are not
21:46
Speaker 3: to be thrown away. They will be transformed to become ship.
21:50
Speaker 3: They don't become ship, they first become lamps.
22:01
Speaker 2: It's true.
22:02
Speaker 3: So as we're gathering here, I can't say the chuck
22:05
Speaker 3: is your spature family on it. And someone said that's
22:07
Speaker 3: the opportunity I've been looking for, and say, my brother,
22:14
Speaker 3: calm down. I'm trying to be No, I'm just trying
22:19
Speaker 3: to be balanced. And even when you are dealing with family,
22:22
Speaker 3: use sense. Do you understand? Do you understand I've given
22:31
Speaker 3: this claim. Listen, family, if he got a phone, miss, it.
22:44
Speaker 2: Is true. It's true. It's true.
22:52
Speaker 3: Let me tell you two experience I've had both of
22:56
Speaker 3: That was my phone.
22:57
Speaker 2: That was study a yes so ah, yes sir.
23:02
Speaker 3: One one night around three am, I didn't know somebody
23:09
Speaker 3: was looking at me from the window. Yes, And the guy,
23:14
Speaker 3: out of frustrated, just shouted, this is you know they
23:17
Speaker 3: sleep again? Oh boy, it's out of it's just shouted
23:28
Speaker 3: judging minute that he's been coming.
23:30
Speaker 2: And we'll see me awake every night.
23:34
Speaker 3: Ah, chief's renting on me that you can't steal from me,
23:42
Speaker 3: no problem. But anyways, we're up the lights, people woke
23:48
Speaker 3: up and all that for some reasons.
23:51
Speaker 2: Mm hm. We slept off.
23:54
Speaker 3: And that night everyone in the room, everyone, yes, about
23:58
Speaker 3: seven of us. Everyone's phone was taking before the years
24:02
Speaker 3: for the break. Guess who took the phone.
24:14
Speaker 2: We carried we carried the.
24:18
Speaker 3: It was a guy who is asking out one of
24:24
Speaker 3: the girls and pastoring just two rooms from our room.
24:32
Speaker 3: And he still told me that same day to join
24:35
Speaker 3: him in prayer.
24:48
Speaker 2: And it's still our phones.
24:51
Speaker 3: And when we're looking for the phone, he was the
24:53
Speaker 3: most active person.
25:01
Speaker 2: He joined us in looking for the foot.
25:08
Speaker 3: Anyways, when we found out, I just gave the sister idea,
25:14
Speaker 3: are you sure that they will not come to you
25:17
Speaker 3: us and beat you and your guy?
25:22
Speaker 2: Now, that to mean.
25:26
Speaker 3: That we are gathered as God's children doesn't mean.
25:30
Speaker 2: We're all perfect.
25:32
Speaker 3: So that's the truth, But that also should not take
25:37
Speaker 3: away the revelation of the fact that this assembly and
25:42
Speaker 3: assembling across the world is the gathering of God's children.
25:46
Speaker 2: It is a spiritual family. We have the same Father.
25:52
Speaker 3: And if I have that consciousness, I would not want
25:54
Speaker 3: to hurt you, and you do not want to hurt me.
25:57
Speaker 3: It becomes easy to love us selves becomes easy. It
26:05
Speaker 3: is a consciousness that this said against this is my
26:12
Speaker 3: spiritual family.
26:13
Speaker 2: On hurt. We are united by the blood of Jesus
26:18
Speaker 2: Christ following me.
26:20
Speaker 3: Now we are connected by the blood. We are all
26:23
Speaker 3: in Christ. It is our spiritual family. We have all
26:30
Speaker 3: been bought with the price, all of us. And that's
26:34
Speaker 3: why you don't leave your family. And that I meant
26:38
Speaker 3: body of Christ to go look for his path outside
26:41
Speaker 3: the body of Christ. When you do that, it's called unequally.
26:44
Speaker 3: You can people of different ors try to marry. One
26:47
Speaker 3: would have to die for.
26:48
Speaker 2: It to work.
26:50
Speaker 3: It does in work, you get someone in your head.
26:54
Speaker 3: The will of God can never be an unbeliever. Let
26:57
Speaker 3: me say it again. You don't pray to God if
26:59
Speaker 3: his will is to marry, I don't believe. As long
27:01
Speaker 3: as the fellow is not saved, it can't be his will.
27:04
Speaker 3: It can't be his will.
27:07
Speaker 2: It can't be.
27:08
Speaker 3: And this is the reason why our foundation must be
27:11
Speaker 3: properly laid. Now to this, What then, is the purpose
27:16
Speaker 3: of the church. Why we gotta when we to church?
27:21
Speaker 3: What should we expect? Because if the purpose of every
27:25
Speaker 3: thing is not known, it to be abused. If God
27:27
Speaker 3: is calling someone and God is saying, okay, all right,
27:30
Speaker 3: this is my plan for you. This is what you're doing.
27:31
Speaker 3: If you don't know what the church is, you will
27:33
Speaker 3: abuse it. And many of the abuses we've seen today
27:37
Speaker 3: is because people don't know the purpose of the church.
27:42
Speaker 3: And sometimes I've seen people online and I understand the anger,
27:49
Speaker 3: and I'm angry too.
27:51
Speaker 2: Every one of us want things.
27:52
Speaker 3: To change, and that I have lent my voice to
27:56
Speaker 3: many things going on in different times. But listen, sometimes
28:00
Speaker 3: I've seen people who call the church in terms of
28:04
Speaker 3: providing jobs.
28:05
Speaker 2: But the church is not the government. Yes, the church
28:10
Speaker 2: should not be pressured.
28:13
Speaker 3: To do certain things, but the church can't do certain things.
28:17
Speaker 3: And I've thought around those things and given balance. But see,
28:20
Speaker 3: you must understand what the church is and what the
28:22
Speaker 3: church is not the church. This is what I'm saying.
28:24
Speaker 3: Hold on a minute. The church is not your government.
28:27
Speaker 3: You don't blame the church to a bad road. But
28:32
Speaker 3: if the church gets it right, the government ought to
28:35
Speaker 3: get it right.
28:37
Speaker 2: That's the balance. And I'm saying this because so that
28:44
Speaker 2: a generation will not.
28:45
Speaker 3: Come that will allow pressure take them outside the will
28:50
Speaker 3: of God.
28:52
Speaker 2: We must understand. Now, let me show you certain scriptures.
28:54
Speaker 2: Are you with me? Are you sure? Now? Look at
28:58
Speaker 2: what the Bible says, let's not our bibles to look.
29:03
Speaker 3: Up efficients chapter number four. Efficients chapter number four, we
29:10
Speaker 3: start reading from verse ten. Efficients chapter number four. We
29:15
Speaker 3: start reading from verse ten. Now look at this. Either
29:19
Speaker 3: the center is the same holds that are centered up
29:22
Speaker 3: far above all.
29:22
Speaker 2: Events that it might feel all things.
29:25
Speaker 3: Yes, and it gives some apostles, and some prophets, and
29:31
Speaker 3: some evangelists, and some persons and teachers. Now before we
29:39
Speaker 3: move on, you see the fivefold ministry gifts here. If
29:44
Speaker 3: there's anything that you unite all of them, all the
29:49
Speaker 3: fivefold ministry gifts, must be able to teach. Yes, yes, yes,
29:54
Speaker 3: Now you have no business leading goods people.
29:56
Speaker 2: If you can't teach.
29:58
Speaker 3: You must understand that all the five fold And sometimes
30:01
Speaker 3: because we don't understand this, we believe that the ministure
30:04
Speaker 3: of the prophet is your faults telling. In fact, the
30:07
Speaker 3: testimony of Christ is the spirit of prophecy. So a
30:10
Speaker 3: man who can't reveal Christ can't be a prophet.
30:12
Speaker 2: Now get that right.
30:14
Speaker 3: Anyone who can't reveal Christ can't be a prophet. You
30:18
Speaker 3: see people wake up and put on themselves tatoos that
30:20
Speaker 3: they have no business with. You must understand that all
30:24
Speaker 3: the fivefold ministry gifts. Must be able to teach because
30:29
Speaker 3: it is true teaching that will primarily build the people.
30:34
Speaker 2: That's how people are build.
30:35
Speaker 3: People can't be built when we'll come to church and
30:37
Speaker 3: for the next two hours.
30:38
Speaker 2: It's prophecy upon prophecy.
30:39
Speaker 3: No, the New Testament Church is not led by prophecies,
30:42
Speaker 3: but by teaching of the world. Prophecy is fantastic. Get
30:48
Speaker 3: it right, don't despise it. Never despise the office of
30:51
Speaker 3: a prophet. It is there for our advantage. God gives
30:56
Speaker 3: us profits to reveal the counsel of and it doesn't
30:59
Speaker 3: all have to be parlatical. Prophet can raise a guy
31:04
Speaker 3: of repentance. Prophet can raise a cry that judgment is coming.
31:08
Speaker 3: They can raise the kind alarm call us to be
31:10
Speaker 3: sensit those seasons.
31:12
Speaker 2: But everyone in that office must be able to teach
31:16
Speaker 2: everyone everyone.
31:20
Speaker 3: So when you come to church, primarily you must be fed.
31:25
Speaker 3: If you're not being fed by the Word, is not
31:27
Speaker 3: a church. Primarily we come to be fed, to be nourished, to.
31:37
Speaker 2: Be taught, to be established in doctrine. Are you following
31:41
Speaker 2: what I'm saying?
31:41
Speaker 3: Yes, to be established in the words doctrine, in the
31:44
Speaker 3: world of righteousness. So the church is not a place
31:48
Speaker 3: it's not Thank God for the dancing, but that's not
31:51
Speaker 3: the purpose of the church. Hello, I said, thank God
31:54
Speaker 3: for the dancing, but that's not the purpose of the church.
31:56
Speaker 3: Thank God for the good music, but that's not the
31:58
Speaker 3: purpose of the church. Thank God for the ambience, but
32:00
Speaker 3: that's not the purpose of the church. The purpose of
32:02
Speaker 3: the church primarily is that we gather to be taught,
32:09
Speaker 3: to be taught.
32:12
Speaker 2: The Chise is revealed and explained to us.
32:16
Speaker 3: We come to be to be built in Christs, that
32:20
Speaker 3: the Word of God is building us. That's the primary
32:23
Speaker 3: purpose of the church. Because salvation is not the end.
32:29
Speaker 3: Now that you are said, you are still capable of
32:32
Speaker 3: doing many things unless you grow, and you will not
32:35
Speaker 3: grow unless you are fed. And you cannot be fed
32:38
Speaker 3: unless the teachers and pasted us and the apostles understand
32:42
Speaker 3: their work. So we cannot have a garul of people
32:47
Speaker 3: that are believed of the world. You following what I'm
32:52
Speaker 3: saying here, primarily that's our assignment.
32:55
Speaker 2: Now look at what the Bible says.
32:56
Speaker 3: I continue that scripture, that's the same efficients four he
33:02
Speaker 3: says from verse eleven, and he gives some opposts, and
33:04
Speaker 3: some prophets, and some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers.
33:08
Speaker 2: For the word perfecting of the Saint.
33:14
Speaker 3: Let me show you that scripture in the Passional translation Ephicients,
33:21
Speaker 3: chapter number four, let me serve from verse eleven. And
33:27
Speaker 3: he has appointed some of the grades to be apostles,
33:30
Speaker 3: and some of the grades to be prophets, and some
33:32
Speaker 3: of the grades to be evangelists, and some of the
33:35
Speaker 3: grades to be pastors, and some of the grades to
33:37
Speaker 3: be teachers. And their calling is to not somebody said not,
33:43
Speaker 3: say again to what does it be to not to
33:46
Speaker 3: make to go? That's the primary calling of the fivefold
33:51
Speaker 3: Minutes free gifts.
33:53
Speaker 2: Their calling is to not.
33:56
Speaker 3: So as we are seated in church, you have been noted,
34:00
Speaker 3: you have been exposed to the world, and listen, don't
34:02
Speaker 3: trivialize it. Don't trivial don't don't don't don't see it
34:08
Speaker 3: has nothing, don't see it as just one of those things.
34:15
Speaker 3: And that's why you must understand that. The same way
34:19
Speaker 3: you can eat on a Sunday and go about the
34:23
Speaker 3: rest of the days not feeding and be fine. Yes, sir,
34:29
Speaker 3: you can't just make the world of God is Sunday
34:32
Speaker 3: Sunday tablet.
34:35
Speaker 2: You can't. You can't grow like that.
34:39
Speaker 3: You will not confirm to the statue that God wants
34:43
Speaker 3: us to enter like that.
34:46
Speaker 2: You must love the world and love to grow. You see,
34:51
Speaker 2: let me tell you this.
34:53
Speaker 3: You see after salvation, it is possible that everything the
34:59
Speaker 3: one we it is not safe this capable of you?
35:01
Speaker 2: Are they capable of it? Because you have not exposed
35:05
Speaker 2: yourself to.
35:05
Speaker 3: The renewing of the mind through the world. You have
35:09
Speaker 3: not allowed Christ to be formed. How is Christ from
35:12
Speaker 3: the nose trees world and course our character that you
35:21
Speaker 3: you you can't be in business with your fellow believer.
35:25
Speaker 2: I want to defraud the person because you can't, because
35:31
Speaker 2: you can't the way Christian's conveniently tall lies.
35:35
Speaker 3: You be amazed. It's it's become a culture. It's become
35:41
Speaker 3: a culture. You be amazed. People go to church and
35:46
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's anyone who's doing it there,
35:48
Speaker 3: and I'm saying publicly stop it. That people find it
35:51
Speaker 3: convenient to be living or people they are not married
35:53
Speaker 3: to and they come to church and.
35:55
Speaker 2: Oh, well lived on all the end.
35:56
Speaker 3: Listen when you do always say say you know, I
35:58
Speaker 3: don't just work in condemnation. Lit what I'm saying, Listen,
36:01
Speaker 3: you are deceiving yourself. If you are living in sin
36:05
Speaker 3: and your heart is not pricked, something is wrong with that.
36:08
Speaker 3: Conscience is dead.
36:10
Speaker 2: It is dead. It's dead. So it's nothing like I
36:15
Speaker 2: don't want to live. You know that that conscience is dead.
36:18
Speaker 3: Say, you know we're gonna get married at the end
36:21
Speaker 3: of the day, and so let's let's begin to pratice.
36:26
Speaker 2: Let's begin to practice living together.
36:29
Speaker 3: And you see people who quickly come around when maybe
36:32
Speaker 3: something happens to defend themselves. Let me a marriage failed
36:35
Speaker 3: or someone got married and discovered something. They say, you see,
36:38
Speaker 3: that's why we've always said that people should live together
36:40
Speaker 3: and experience each other. But do you know that even
36:44
Speaker 3: no believers did a sovie did ay sovie enover and
36:47
Speaker 3: found out the bulk of those who were living together
36:50
Speaker 3: before marriage, ninety percent of them that home doesn't work.
36:57
Speaker 3: It is not enough to profess so be a Christian.
37:00
Speaker 3: There is a kingdom culture. There is a kingdom culture.
37:05
Speaker 2: That's a cord.
37:08
Speaker 3: There's a culture that we're exposed to now we are
37:11
Speaker 3: taught into. There's a lifestyle that we live. There is
37:17
Speaker 3: one people seeing us that made them know. These are Christians,
37:22
Speaker 3: These are the ones. They are part of God family
37:24
Speaker 3: on earth by their fruits.
37:27
Speaker 2: They know them. If you do business with this one,
37:29
Speaker 2: they won't chat.
37:30
Speaker 3: But do you know that the most dangerous pecials will
37:32
Speaker 3: do business with Now if somebody will say my name
37:34
Speaker 3: is brother, yes, sir, you'll be worried. Maybe you want
37:43
Speaker 3: to do business, you want to invest. Let me tell
37:48
Speaker 3: you something. One of the firstest way to go to
37:52
Speaker 3: jail now it is to be a guarantee. Yeah, you
38:02
Speaker 3: go go to jail.
38:06
Speaker 2: Garlandle and in case someone is awabuld sign something. See
38:14
Speaker 2: take this as God. God is just saving you now
38:24
Speaker 2: a big careful But there used to be a time, yes.
38:29
Speaker 3: That if someone says I am bro, you can trust
38:34
Speaker 3: them with your money. You can trust them with your life,
38:41
Speaker 3: you can trust them with your business.
38:47
Speaker 2: Many of the people I am leading.
38:49
Speaker 3: Something when they came to campus part one, the mother
38:53
Speaker 3: will bring the young girl and say I hand over
38:56
Speaker 3: to you.
38:57
Speaker 2: As your daughter. Ah, that's how it ought to be.
39:04
Speaker 2: Not like the bro. It's not the one.
39:07
Speaker 3: Sleeping with the girl abutting and sleeping with the girl
39:11
Speaker 3: and abutting. That's not a Code of Christians that if
39:18
Speaker 3: you belong to this faith, your fruit you should yes.
39:25
Speaker 2: The food you shot.
39:28
Speaker 3: That we fear God, not panic, fear, we revive. We
39:36
Speaker 3: are conscious of our high calling in Christ.
39:40
Speaker 2: We are aware.
39:42
Speaker 3: We are not just taking advantage of grace, And say,
39:46
Speaker 3: you know what, if anybody sings even grace are by,
39:49
Speaker 3: it's much more. You don't even understand what the Bible
39:51
Speaker 3: is saying. We're not taking advantage of grace. It brings
39:56
Speaker 3: for us. Fifteen to sixteen says, for we have not
39:58
Speaker 3: an eye priest which cannot touched with the feelings of
40:02
Speaker 3: our informity, seeing that it was an all point tempted
40:04
Speaker 3: like we are.
40:05
Speaker 2: But the yet without sin, yet without seeing.
40:11
Speaker 3: Verse six seen now says let us now therefore come
40:14
Speaker 3: body before the twne of grace, that when we obtain
40:17
Speaker 3: messy and find grace to help in terms of need,
40:21
Speaker 3: what's the time of need? The time when temptation is
40:23
Speaker 3: staring at two face to face, But there is grace
40:25
Speaker 3: to help you. I'm not saying anybody is perfect, but hey,
40:29
Speaker 3: but the work of grace is to help you.
40:31
Speaker 2: The provision of grace is to enable us.
40:34
Speaker 3: Grace is an empowerment above seen. So as we come
40:41
Speaker 3: to touch, listen, listen, we are not hearing from one
40:44
Speaker 3: hair and it's jumping out of the other.
40:45
Speaker 2: We have been renewed.
40:47
Speaker 3: If there is no character modification, you are not allow
40:51
Speaker 3: yourself to be renewed. So you have to allow yourself,
40:55
Speaker 3: submit yourself to the world that people will not see
40:59
Speaker 3: what you.
41:00
Speaker 2: Are outside, and it's the God yourself.
41:04
Speaker 3: Show me yourself to the world. If you are a Christian,
41:09
Speaker 3: be a Christian, Charlie, let your yes, b yes, let
41:13
Speaker 3: your know you know, stand by it. You can't many
41:21
Speaker 3: put the figures in the office and give tides and
41:24
Speaker 3: say because because you're a giver, it doesn't work.
41:33
Speaker 2: God is not so broken and stolen money. No, it
41:39
Speaker 2: doesn't work. It doesn't work. Do you understand what I'm saying.
41:44
Speaker 2: We come to the church primarily to be fed.
41:48
Speaker 3: Look at look at the way the Bible puts it.
41:52
Speaker 3: The personal translation Hebrews and Sorry efficients for verse twelve says,
41:58
Speaker 3: and they're calling is to not so and prepare the
42:02
Speaker 3: only believers to do their own works of ministry. So
42:07
Speaker 3: our assignment is to not you and prepare you. You
42:11
Speaker 3: have an assignment. There is what your life is about
42:15
Speaker 3: that is bigger than you. There is what your life
42:18
Speaker 3: is about that's big God. Say listen, listen. You know
42:21
Speaker 3: the reason why you cannot have your own ambition outside
42:23
Speaker 3: God because you don't belong to yourself. You don't, so
42:28
Speaker 3: you cannot have your own ambits on outside God. If
42:31
Speaker 3: you have found your purpose, it must already be bigger
42:33
Speaker 3: than you. One of the littlemost sign tests that you
42:38
Speaker 3: found your purpose is that it's not about you. It's
42:40
Speaker 3: about what your life goes out to do. Someone is
42:44
Speaker 3: benefiting from your existence. Someone is benefiting from the fact
42:48
Speaker 3: that your eyes God open, someone is benefiting from what
42:51
Speaker 3: you represent.
42:53
Speaker 2: That that's what made it clear that you found your purpose.
42:57
Speaker 3: So it's not about you. So it means that you
42:59
Speaker 3: can't decide that. You know, I just want to make
43:02
Speaker 3: my money. I just want to get married and have
43:04
Speaker 3: my children and live my life.
43:06
Speaker 2: It's beyond that. It's beyond that.
43:10
Speaker 3: Some of the challenges we face in recent times, I've
43:12
Speaker 3: seen people understand their privileged.
43:15
Speaker 2: Position as ministry. I've seen that album. I've seen people understand, Oh,
43:23
Speaker 2: could it be that.
43:24
Speaker 3: The reason why God has given me this access, the
43:26
Speaker 3: reason why God has planted me here. The reason why
43:28
Speaker 3: God has blessed me with these resources is for such
43:30
Speaker 3: a time as this, and they understood it. One of
43:36
Speaker 3: the things that has made commitments in local assembly questionable
43:43
Speaker 3: and many people question.
43:45
Speaker 2: See listen and you have to listen attentively to this.
43:49
Speaker 3: One one of the reasons why people now doubt whether
43:54
Speaker 3: they should be committed as they are in a local assembly.
43:58
Speaker 3: All right, All that is because of trauma of the
44:04
Speaker 3: failures they've seen. Maybe at certain point in your life
44:09
Speaker 3: you observe mistake around the altar of ministers who have
44:17
Speaker 3: the culture of trying to flaunt wealth. And I've spoken
44:21
Speaker 3: against that that the minister is a servant of God.
44:25
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter how much God has blessed you.
44:27
Speaker 2: You serve with it. You are not going around parading.
44:35
Speaker 2: Let's leave that. But that something is wrong doesn't mean
44:44
Speaker 2: you should stop doing what God has called you to do.
44:48
Speaker 3: Because things are wrong everyway. In that place where you
44:51
Speaker 3: are working, there are very are things that are very wrong.
44:55
Speaker 3: And you go back there with you and gladness. Even
44:59
Speaker 3: if you're not a you pocket it and still dress well. True,
45:06
Speaker 3: I don't know we have survived on your bosses. M
45:13
Speaker 3: somebody was sharing testimony here on time. You remember, yes,
45:19
Speaker 3: was describing how we ged the boss. I called the
45:24
Speaker 3: people if they're to pull the video down so that
45:27
Speaker 3: the boss.
45:28
Speaker 2: Will not watch it.
45:30
Speaker 3: At the next one, the insact, all right, well, listen,
45:33
Speaker 3: many of this is good. That even were they have
45:35
Speaker 3: churches that they go to. Let me tell you something,
45:42
Speaker 3: do you do you know the reason why? When it
45:45
Speaker 3: comes to understanding of kingdom kingdom, those of the other fits,
45:50
Speaker 3: they are more conscious of it than believers.
45:53
Speaker 2: Listen, they are more conscious of it. Why because their
45:57
Speaker 2: faith is built on knowledge.
46:01
Speaker 3: You were exposed with virtual of Christianity as beauty on
46:03
Speaker 3: science and wonders.
46:06
Speaker 2: So you experience miracles, but you don't know the God
46:09
Speaker 2: of the miracles. Ah, that's the problem.
46:13
Speaker 3: The version of Christianity you're exposed to is received transactional relationship,
46:18
Speaker 3: not his knowledge. God reveals his acts to the Easielites,
46:22
Speaker 3: but it's ways to Moses.
46:26
Speaker 2: So you have been noted and too taught to.
46:29
Speaker 3: Know him for what is for who is? If you
46:37
Speaker 3: don't understand this, you are not a rooted And what
46:40
Speaker 3: that means is you are the messy of any storm.
46:44
Speaker 3: And that's why you see men of you have aunties,
46:47
Speaker 3: you have uncles, you have cousins that the moment they
46:50
Speaker 3: wait for something and it's not like his forthcoming.
46:53
Speaker 2: They go the traditional amis and you be amassed. Some
46:57
Speaker 2: of them can be dickens and dicknesses in their thoughts.
47:00
Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying.
47:00
Speaker 3: Listen, your title is the eth literach recognizing that there's
47:04
Speaker 3: any for a promotion. It is not necessarily a reflection
47:07
Speaker 3: of your maturity. I had that, so you can't be
47:11
Speaker 3: ascending their rights but yet not established. And yet just
47:15
Speaker 3: one look at the wife of Drobe. She look like
47:17
Speaker 3: a strong woman till the problem came. She said, course
47:20
Speaker 3: God and died. Many believers look strong, but just one storm.
47:24
Speaker 3: They can't steal. Listen, listen, listen, listen. Many of us
47:30
Speaker 3: blame the government, the government that they're they're stealing.
47:35
Speaker 2: There, you know this, there, you know that. Listen. There
47:37
Speaker 2: are people who.
47:38
Speaker 3: Don't have the opportunity, but if they do in the day,
47:41
Speaker 3: Nigeria will finish.
47:45
Speaker 2: Hey, guess what, Guess what, Guess what? They're in church.
47:51
Speaker 3: Church. Many of us are only loud because corruption is
47:57
Speaker 3: not benefiting us. What have you done with the lead
48:05
Speaker 3: to opportunity and exposure? You were giving to money, to
48:07
Speaker 3: women to film. I believe it is the root head.
48:13
Speaker 3: The character of Christ is summed in you, not just
48:20
Speaker 3: confessing Christ in the media of glory. No, it's character's natural.
48:25
Speaker 3: We have been made partaker of his divine nature.
48:32
Speaker 2: It is a root that in you.
48:35
Speaker 3: Do you understand you can't leave to our ms together
48:38
Speaker 3: from club to church.
48:39
Speaker 2: You can't. You can't and listen because we are failed
48:47
Speaker 2: to raise believers. We have all forms of junks going on. Listen.
48:55
Speaker 3: Somebody can marry from church and that's who the fellow
49:00
Speaker 3: was married from church is the worst person the fellow
49:03
Speaker 3: can ever married in life.
49:04
Speaker 2: And yet church. Do you agree to take this by
49:09
Speaker 2: saying as a love whatever?
49:11
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yeah, yes, but he doesn't look jack about marriage.
49:17
Speaker 3: All that it thinks is traditional And I'm sorry, permit
49:23
Speaker 3: me that the fellow dance doesn't mean he knows the
49:26
Speaker 3: God is dancing to.
49:29
Speaker 2: That is creamson.
49:30
Speaker 3: Jump doesn't mean the fellow knows that God is jumping to.
49:34
Speaker 2: How do you know those who know.
49:36
Speaker 3: Their God, they sit down to learn, They sit down.
49:39
Speaker 2: To learn him.
49:42
Speaker 3: They enjoy the world. It will become what you have
49:45
Speaker 3: appetit for. Is that because what you have what you make. Enjoys.
49:48
Speaker 2: When you see you look.
49:49
Speaker 3: Forward for the next word. Session, it's your session. This
49:53
Speaker 3: is how you are transformed. You understand me. Now the
49:59
Speaker 3: world excites you, the world renews you. You are excited
50:04
Speaker 3: at it.
50:06
Speaker 2: That's how and that's why I said, Listen, you.
50:11
Speaker 3: Cannot build a family on corruption. Listen, you want a
50:15
Speaker 3: home that is good, but you don't expose yourself to
50:18
Speaker 3: the world of God and prayer out. You were never booted.
50:25
Speaker 3: You were dating. You are not praying. You were enjoying it.
50:28
Speaker 3: You are dating.
50:29
Speaker 2: You have more accountability. You are enjoying it. You are dating.
50:32
Speaker 2: You don't be in the Bible. You are enjoying it.
50:34
Speaker 3: Now you are married. It doesn't comfortbable. You are enjoying it,
50:38
Speaker 3: enjoyed the problem that comes with it. Because the only
50:43
Speaker 3: way we can't guarantee anybody's transformation is the word. That's
50:47
Speaker 3: the only way I partition doesn't transform.
50:52
Speaker 2: It's the word.
50:55
Speaker 3: Do you understand since for a moment, so we come
51:01
Speaker 3: to church to be, not to be taught, to be prepared,
51:06
Speaker 3: to be groomed.
51:08
Speaker 2: To be discipled.
51:13
Speaker 3: And when we get to the point of discipleship, it
51:15
Speaker 3: is not a Sunday Sunday thing. To be discipled, you've
51:19
Speaker 3: got to participate. Oh, yes, you've got to participate. You
51:24
Speaker 3: have to be reachable, you are listening. It's a wrong
51:27
Speaker 3: positioning to be in the church and nobody in those
51:30
Speaker 3: who exists.
51:32
Speaker 2: It's a wrong position. Well, you know, we are so
51:35
Speaker 2: many and nobody reveal yourself. What did I say, reveal yourself?
51:50
Speaker 2: You see, one time I was in I'm careful now
51:55
Speaker 2: names another church? And when camp.
52:01
Speaker 3: And then sorry, still enjoy seen as a young Perston
52:07
Speaker 3: go to camp, sit down at the world and all that.
52:11
Speaker 3: And one time I saw some group of seven, about
52:13
Speaker 3: seven or eight guys. She was moving with so much
52:16
Speaker 3: zero and they have camps. They were they war hand gloves,
52:20
Speaker 3: and we're packing debts and we're packing all those things
52:23
Speaker 3: with basket. You see the joy and the zeal And
52:27
Speaker 3: someone said, that's the empty of so Bank. I said,
52:32
Speaker 3: what I said, that's the empty so Bank packing debts,
52:37
Speaker 3: doing all these things. Listen, the empty drummer makes the lot.
52:41
Speaker 2: There's noise. Listen, Listen, listen. One of the problems with this.
52:49
Speaker 3: Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. This land in itself is
52:56
Speaker 3: a lie of the reasons why there's so many accidents
53:02
Speaker 3: on the road every day everywhere It.
53:05
Speaker 2: Because of arrogance. People drive with the consciousness of do
53:09
Speaker 2: you know what happen?
53:11
Speaker 3: You know, sometimes it's so appalling that people have come
53:14
Speaker 3: to see me and we the.
53:15
Speaker 2: Result of my pastors. You what do you think you are?
53:18
Speaker 2: I said, I want to see apostle the bagage? Someone
53:25
Speaker 2: will you please pack your car this way? Say what?
53:30
Speaker 3: Who are you to tell me where to pack? And
53:33
Speaker 3: when the fellow is don't being a tiger comes out
53:35
Speaker 3: and oh Jesus, I love the road.
53:40
Speaker 2: Hold on a minute. Anywhere you see.

1:05:04
Speaker 3: If many of you know the battle we fought, the
1:05:07
Speaker 3: madition is nothing or you see people strong through it
1:05:12
Speaker 3: because they are taught and when you have a church
1:05:23
Speaker 3: that is a root flat on the world, that church
1:05:26
Speaker 3: is indistructive. That's why I thank God for the notes.
1:05:30
Speaker 3: As we are speaking of go to me. You see
1:05:34
Speaker 3: churches are being burnt down. You believer still come God
1:05:38
Speaker 3: in that open space. The sun is shining on them directly,
1:05:42
Speaker 3: and they are still praising God. The real church is indestructible.
1:05:48
Speaker 3: Is this It can't be pulled down? The real churches
1:05:51
Speaker 3: what indestructive? You see them, silly flop hands and praising God.
1:05:55
Speaker 2: We are not better than them. We are not. We
1:06:00
Speaker 2: are not.
1:06:01
Speaker 3: We must go back to you know, coming down from
1:06:05
Speaker 3: our high oases and understand this is what I'm saying this.
1:06:08
Speaker 3: Someone can come to charge. I say, you know, it
1:06:10
Speaker 3: was just too much. But if you go to your
1:06:12
Speaker 3: own family house God damn complain about it, they'll tell
1:06:23
Speaker 3: you it is not your duty to fix it. But
1:06:26
Speaker 3: we don't have sense of responsibility in.
1:06:28
Speaker 2: Charge because we don't feel God is our father and
1:06:32
Speaker 2: I don't feel the choices our father's house. Do you
1:06:37
Speaker 2: understand that is what it should be? Have you been
1:06:41
Speaker 2: blessed this morning?
1:06:45
Speaker 3: Let me show you scripture as I close, and I
1:06:48
Speaker 3: want to request that we all please stand on our feet.
1:06:53
Speaker 3: Act of the Apostles, chapter number twelve. And I'm going
1:06:57
Speaker 3: to close with the scripture, Act chapter number twelve. Something
1:07:04
Speaker 3: happened in Act twelve. Errold straightforth his hand and killed.
1:07:10
Speaker 2: James.
1:07:12
Speaker 3: And he saw that they placed the Jews, and he
1:07:14
Speaker 3: went further and took Peter. And the Bible said Peter
1:07:20
Speaker 3: was kept in prison in verse five, Acts twelves five.
1:07:24
Speaker 3: But prayers was made without season off the church.
1:07:27
Speaker 2: Onto God for him.
1:07:29
Speaker 3: Something happens when the church gathered together and raised voice
1:07:33
Speaker 3: of intercession to God. The yes form of at nineteen
1:07:37
Speaker 3: noon is corporate annoting, and that is what is present
1:07:42
Speaker 3: as we lift our voice as a single unit to pray.
1:07:48
Speaker 3: Now listen, there are two prayers who are going to pray,
1:07:52
Speaker 3: and I want all of us to join our hands
1:07:54
Speaker 3: together on the sheriff things. But let's pray the first prayer.
1:08:03
Speaker 3: If there's anyone amongst us here we're suffering any affliction,
1:08:08
Speaker 3: any form of defeat that we don't even know about.
1:08:11
Speaker 2: As a people, that's the word. As a people, as
1:08:15
Speaker 2: the church, we obtain deliverance for the people. Now pray
1:08:19
Speaker 2: this prayer like your life depends on it. If there's
