- 0:00There are things that believers have prayed for and it refused
- 0:03to go. There are conditions that seem
- 0:05not to answer and you are saying why?
- 0:08Let me tell you this, every time you say Lord, why is it that we
- 0:13trusted you, but we did not see this manifestation 90% of the
- 0:17time, aside from a few other explanations which we consider
- 0:20in other subjects. But 90% of the time, what
- 0:24happens to men is not a reflection of what God wanted to
- 0:28happen. It was the bankruptcy of the
- 0:30flow of power. So the next time you say God use
- 0:35me, what you are saying is God expand me, expand me, expand me
- 0:42so that when I stand before a sick person, there is enough
- 0:46channel of that power to flow. When I stand before somebody
- 0:50going through economic hardship, he can do whatever it takes to
- 0:54do humanly, but I can deposit something divine upon his head.
- 1:00Are we listening now? There are some of you seated
- 1:03here right now. Your loved ones are sick.
- 1:08You are having financial crisis. There are all kinds of
- 1:12oppression, Some of you. Your sleep last night was a
- 1:15nightmare. I'm not glorifying Satan.
- 1:19I'm just trying to be honest with you, Some of you, whilst
- 1:22you are seated here right now, you are some of the most
- 1:25diligent believers with character, holiness and
- 1:28integrity I know of. But nothing has happened in your
- 1:31life from January till now. You will not bribe, you will not
- 1:35cheat, yet you have not seen one real manifestation of the mercy
- 1:39of God. Something is wrong, something is
- 1:43wrong. Our generation has to bring an
- 1:46answer as to why a woman will pray and fast on a sick bed and
- 1:52not recover till she dies. As to why somebody will say I am
- 1:57a child of God, I will not take bribes and he will remain poor
- 2:02till his children cannot go to school.
- 2:04We need answers. The assignment of the church is
- 2:06to bring answers. If we keep fooling ourselves,
- 2:10shying away in irresponsibility and just creating all kinds of
- 2:14pictures and making it look like it is problems of members,
- 2:18sooner or later they will leave us and go to seek whatever they
- 2:22feel can help them. Let me tell you the truth, the
- 2:25church was designed to be a place of answers and I challenge
- 2:29every servant of the living God, including myself, that while we
- 2:33commend ourselves for the little God is doing, we must be honest
- 2:37with ourselves. The world is asking questions.
- 2:41We are either not hearing or being deafened by our arrogance
- 2:45over little and we're not staying to get real answers.
- 2:51We need answers. Tell me why the cancer plaguing
- 2:55me does not seem to reduce after prayer and yet the Bible says by
- 3:00his stripes I am healed. Tell me why integrity does not
- 3:04seem to reward in my life. Tell me why I raised my child in
- 3:09the fear of the Lord and he becomes something else.
- 3:12Well, should I go for answers? I've gone to the school.
- 3:16It attempted to give a few answers.
- 3:19I went to intelligent people, It attempted to give a few answers.
- 3:22I listened to my government. It attempted to give a few
- 3:26answers. You have told me that the
- 3:28mountain of the Lord's house shall be exalted above every
- 3:30other mountain. Now I have come give me answers
- 3:34as to why my prayer over Satan does not seem to drive him.
- 3:38Give me answers as to why my confessing of the Word does not
- 3:42seem to produce result. Can I tell you, the person who
- 3:45stands with God to say Lord, use me to answer this question will
- 3:50be about the most valuable person in this generation.
- 3:56Use me to answer this question. Use me to answer this question.
- 4:01Use me to rewrite this narrative that you become an answer to a
- 4:06question that is in the hearts of men.
- 4:09Is it true that when we say to say the Lord it really comes to
- 4:13pass, all other factors being constant?
- 4:17You don't say yes, you prove it with your life by gaining power
- 4:23with God like Jacob and then coming to multitudes and even
- 4:26nations and saying toss sayeth the Lord.
- 4:30When you bring the results, you can teach us what you have done
- 4:34and we can see truly that you have created a pathway for a
- 4:37generation to know God. The more I look forward to
- 4:42hearing genuine verifiable cases of people who died before their
- 4:48time and were brought back to life genuinely, not just by men
- 4:53of God but by members they trained.
- 4:57But the lady will go home and say my mom died and I know it is
- 5:01not her time. And I prayed and did engage this
- 5:07and my mom coughed back to life and said I was on my way going,
- 5:11but I had your voice and you called me back.
- 5:17I look forward to hearing terrorists coming to church to
- 5:20testify that we caught somebody and we saw angels.
- 5:25Angels appeared physically and said, if you don't lose these
- 5:28people now, you will see the limitations of guns and balls
- 5:33and spares. And we decided to lead the
- 5:36people out, not just to deliver them.
- 5:38Can I tell you this sincerely? If the church does not attend to
- 5:44the needs that are confronting society, the church will be
- 5:49extinct. I would not in my lifetime, not
- 5:55in my lifetime. I belong to that generation,
- 5:58that Hussein Maranatha. Come everything, Come your
- 6:02power, come your wisdom, come your glory, come according to
- 6:07the power that walketh in US unto him be glory in the church
- 6:13in and through. Joshua Salman.
- 6:16So whilst you are seated here, you are not just becoming a
- 6:19believer to get a job, get promotion.
- 6:22You are receiving what empowers you and planting a hunger within
- 6:26your spirit. Some of you.
- 6:28After this program you will go and have a retreat for 2-3 days
- 6:33and say, Lord, I'm not looking for power to satisfy my lost the
- 6:37kind of alignment I need to submit to, to for God's sake
- 6:41host more of you. Let it happen to me.
