• 1:39

• 1:43

• 1:47
  dimensions in the spirit I receive, someone is praying.
• 1:51
  Everything you have in store for me tonight, I receive by faith.
• 2:04
  Everything you have in store for me tonight, I receive.
• 2:16
  Yahweh, Yahweh, you are glorious, so glorious in your
• 2:32
  Yahweh. Yahweh, you are glorious, so
• 2:42
  glorious. Sing it one more time from your
• 2:47
  heart. Yahweh, Yahweh, you are
• 2:56
  glorious, so do we sing. You are powerful, Lord, You are
• 3:05
  powerful. So powerful.
• 3:11
  You are powerful, Lord. You are powerful, Lord, so
• 3:16
  powerful. Me always.
• 3:20
  You are beautiful, Lord, you are beautiful.
• 3:22
  So beautiful me always. You are mighty, Lord, you are
• 3:32
  mighty. So mighty.
• 3:37
  Spirit of the living God, we pray that you breathe upon us
• 3:41
  tonight. Let your word come with clarity,
• 3:44
  let it come with precision. Let it come to bless, to lift,
• 3:48
  to change, to transform, to impart upon our destinies.
• 3:52
  To you be all the glory tonight, for in Jesus name we pray.
• 3:58
  God bless you. Give Jesus a big hand clap and
• 4:00
  please you may be seated. Good evening everybody.
• 4:06
  It's good to be in church tonight and I know that God has
• 4:10
  brought you to do you good. May that good be your testimony
• 4:15
  in Jesus name. We have a lot to do tonight and
• 4:21
  we'll go straight to the business of tonight.
• 4:24
  But let me quickly charge our hearts.
• 4:26
  Never forget that in the presence of God, any and all
• 4:31
  things are possible. When you come to the presence of
• 4:34
  God, the Bible demands that number one, you believe that He
• 4:38
  exists. Hebrews 11/6 and #2 you believe
• 4:42
  that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
• 4:47
  Hallelujah. So come with an expectation that
• 4:50
  God intends to speak to you, and His words carry life.
• 4:55
  His words carry healing, His words carry power.
• 4:59
  Hallelujah, Amen. My commitment, as always to us
• 5:04
  is to make sure that we receive words, wisdom from the throne
• 5:09
  that equip us to #1 live very meaningful spiritual lives and
• 5:16
  then #2 granting us access to the laws of the Spirit to
• 5:21
  command results, make progress in our lives and destinies
• 5:25
  whiles we serve His purposes. And this remains my commitment
• 5:29
  even tonight. So pay attention to all that
• 5:31
  you'll be learning. Every truth, every teaching that
• 5:35
  comes here is tailor made in the place of prayer and in the place
• 5:39
  of study, intended to further enlighten you and to empower
• 5:44
  you, to equip you with the spiritual resources that it
• 5:48
  takes to command victory, holistic victory in your life
• 5:52
  and destiny. You believe that will be your
• 5:54
  portion tonight. Shout a believing.
• 5:56
  Amen. I'm teaching tonight on the
• 5:59
  School of Prayer. I want to show us how to produce
• 6:05
  power in prayer. Many people do not know anything
• 6:10
  about prayer, even though they pray like driving.
• 6:14
  Sitting in front of the wheel does not guarantee that you know
• 6:17
  how to drive. There are people who have had
• 6:19
  cars for decades, but they cannot drive if you are illegal
• 6:23
  drivers because they have no driving license.
• 6:27
  No driving institution has accredited their driving, and a
• 6:32
  few others drive, but they have not gained mastery.
• 6:38
  They can drive their cars, but they cannot Dr. commercially.
• 6:42
  For instance, the skill it takes to drive within town is
• 6:46
  different from the skill it takes to drive across states.
• 6:49
  The man who drives from Abuja, say, to Lagos is different from
• 6:54
  the man who just drives from your house to maybe a filling
• 6:57
  station. The dynamics are different and
• 7:00
  I'm praying tonight that we'll gain mastery in the place of
• 7:02
  prayer. In Jesus name, we pray.
• 7:08
  The first thing I wanted to know tonight is that prayer can be
• 7:11
  taught. Prayer can be taught.
• 7:14
  All men can pray, all men should pray.
• 7:17
  But the prayer that produces power, the prayer that comes
• 7:22
  from a place of mastery, is a product of training, is a
• 7:26
  product of spiritual education. Luke 11/1.
• 7:31
  The disciples came to Jesus on observing the power that came
• 7:35
  from his prayer life. The Bible says at a certain
• 7:39
  place the disciples came to him and they made a request.
• 7:42
  They said, Lord, teach us to pray so men can be taught to
• 7:47
  pray. John taught his disciples to
• 7:50
  pray, and the disciples of Jesus pleaded with him to teach them
• 7:55
  to pray. And when you read the account of
• 7:58
  Luke and even the account of Matthew, he began to teach them
• 8:03
  several things about prayer. So men can be taught to pray.
• 8:08
  Luke 18 and verse one. The Bible says he speak a
• 8:11
  parable to the end that men ought always to pray and not to
• 8:17
  faint. It is a mandate upon all men
• 8:20
  that they pray. First Thessalonians chapter 5
• 8:23
  and verse 17. The Bible says to pray
• 8:25
  consistently or to pray without season.
• 8:29
  First Thessalonians 57 pray without season.
• 8:34
  Colossians chapter 4 and verse 2.
• 8:36
  The Bible says to be devoted. Continue in prayer, he says and
• 8:43
  watch in the same with Thanksgiving.
• 8:45
  Continue in prayer, continue. It's one thing to start, but
• 8:50
  it's another thing to continue. Make it habitual.
• 8:53
  Continue in prayer. Now for our text James 5 and
• 8:59
  verse 16, the be part James 5 and verse 16.
• 9:04
  I'll read the full verse. It says confess your faults one
• 9:07
  to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
• 9:11
  Then it says the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous
• 9:16
  man, any righteous man, no name, any righteous man at all,
• 9:21
  provided that man is a righteous man and he's taught to pray.
• 9:25
  The Bible says it availed much. Can you give us amplified,
• 9:29
  Amplified. James 5/16 Amplified puts it in
• 9:33
  a very beautiful way. Here's what it says.
• 9:35
  The earnest, heartfelt, continued prayer of a righteous
• 9:40
  man makes tremendous power available, which is dynamic in
• 9:45
  its working. May that be a description of
• 9:48
  your prayer life from tonight in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 9:52
  So prayer can be taught. Prayer should be taught and you
• 9:58
  are learning about prayer now in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 10:01
  Even though we're discussing prayer, I'm praying for you
• 10:04
  already that the kinds of results you have never seen in
• 10:07
  your prayer life, you begin to experience after tonight's
• 10:09
  teaching. For some of you, you will go to
• 10:13
  the place of prayer with the same excitement you used to go
• 10:16
  to an ATM because you would have found a secret in prayer
• 10:19
  tonight. The same joy that you have when
• 10:23
  you are walking to a bank or an ATM, that would be the joy you
• 10:26
  will experience in the place of prayer.
• 10:29
  The goal of this teaching tonight is to take away the
• 10:31
  burden factor from prayer. That prayer does not become a
• 10:35
  necessary burden you have to carry just to sign the register
• 10:39
  of spirituality. Prayer is a journey and those
• 10:43
  who understand the dynamics have found a treasure in the place of
• 10:46
  prayer. May you find such tonight in the
• 10:49
  name of Jesus. Now, generally speaking, I have
• 10:54
  a confession to make that the the idea of prayer tonight alone
• 10:59
  will not give the liberty to do justice to this comprehensive
• 11:04
  and all important subject. There are many dimensions to
• 11:09
  prayer if you are to be thoroughly trained and by God's
• 11:13
  grace. We have touched on a few areas
• 11:15
  and will yet touch on a few others, but I have a central
• 11:20
  point of emphasis tonight. However, I will still touch on
• 11:23
  various areas just to bring us but to the same page.
• 11:27
  My my emphasis tonight is to show you how prayers are
• 11:30
  answered. That that is the part I think
• 11:33
  many believers do not understand.
• 11:35
  We still touch on a few things, but the central point of my
• 11:38
  discussion tonight is to show you the dynamics of answered
• 11:43
  prayer. Hallelujah.
• 11:46
  So the idea of prayer is that the fabric of every practice of
• 11:51
  spirituality world over, whether it is Christianity as we know,
• 11:56
  Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, it doesn't matter what faith
• 12:00
  practice. 1 area of agreement as seen by every faith practice is
• 12:08
  that prayer is a very essential component to defining
• 12:13
  spirituality. It is difficult to define
• 12:16
  spirituality using any reference and then isolating the subject
• 12:22
  of prayer. Are we together?
• 12:24
  So prayer is a very cardinal index for measuring
• 12:28
  spirituality, not just within the Christian faith, but across
• 12:33
  every faith practice whatsoever. The one thing that is common to
• 12:37
  any and almost all religions is that they subject themselves to
• 12:41
  some kind of prayer very quickly.
• 12:45
  What is prayer? What is the Bible's idea of
• 12:48
  prayer? Believers pray.
• 12:50
  Afrikaans pray. Many of us pray.
• 12:52
  I presume all of us pray. But if we're to be honest, we'll
• 12:56
  see that the results that we get from prayer vary according to
• 13:00
  the level of knowledge that is invested in that prayer.
• 13:04
  And so God wants to bring us to a greater place of mastery.
• 13:08
  But to start tonight, we need to understand the whole idea.
• 13:12
  What is prayer? What does the Bible mean when it
• 13:15
  talks about prayer? Write this down please.
• 13:18
  In simple terms, prayer is communication with God, a
• 13:24
  platform that allows for communication with God.
• 13:29
  Quite honestly, broadly speaking, it's it allows for the
• 13:32
  communication with all interaction with the realm of
• 13:36
  the spirit and any kind of spirit really.
• 13:39
  But then, because we are believers, we're limiting our
• 13:42
  study to the God of the Bible, God Almighty.
• 13:45
  Prayer, in simple terms, is a platform that allows the
• 13:50
  believer to communicate with God.
• 13:55
  It is also defined as a platform that allows us to communicate
• 14:01
  our thoughts, our needs, our desires to God.
• 14:08
  A platform that allows the believer to communicate his or
• 14:12
  her thoughts, needs, and desires.
• 14:16
  Are we following so far? So you see that essentially
• 14:19
  prayer is about communication. It allows us to communicate with
• 14:23
  God, communicating our thoughts, our needs, and our desires.
• 14:29
  Prayer is also extended to mean fellowship with God.
• 14:33
  A platform that allows for fellowship with God.
• 14:37
  So it's not just about needs and desires.
• 14:40
  Prayer is also defined as a platform that allows us to
• 14:46
  fellowship with God. In addition to communicating our
• 14:52
  thoughts, our needs, and our desires, it's a platform that
• 14:55
  allows us to fellowship with God.
• 14:57
  Finally, prayer is also a platform that allows us to hear
• 15:01
  and receive from God, To hear and receive from God.
• 15:06
  The Bible says God is spirit. The Bible says God is almighty.
• 15:11
  And you will think because his spirit and almighty men cannot
• 15:14
  hear him. But the Bible tells us that men
• 15:17
  can hear God, men can communicate with God, men can
• 15:21
  receive from God. From Genesis to Revelations, we
• 15:24
  see men communicating with God, getting accurate responses from
• 15:29
  Him and responding to that which they heard or received from Him.
• 15:33
  So prayer allows us not just to communicate with God, but it
• 15:37
  also allows Him to communicate back to us.
• 15:42
  Hallelujah. If you're learning, say Amen
• 15:47
  every time you think prayer, think communication, whether
• 15:49
  communicating needs communicating thoughts,
• 15:53
  communicating worship, fellowship, and also a platform
• 15:56
  that allows you to receive back from God.
• 16:01
  Why pray? This is the first thing I want
• 16:03
  to address. Why pray?
• 16:05
  Why is the subject of prayer very important?
• 16:09
  I don't think there has been any time and I I most likely I maybe
• 16:13
  I'm wrong, but I stand to be corrected.
• 16:16
  I do not know any other time in human history where there has
• 16:20
  been a global widespread emphasis on the need or the
• 16:25
  necessity for prayer, especially within the continent of Africa.
• 16:29
  We have from church to church, book to book, seminar to
• 16:33
  seminar, conference to conference.
• 16:35
  Preachers in their variety, emphasizing the same subject,
• 16:39
  the need for prayer, the need for diligent prayer.
• 16:44
  People have written books, people have written voluminous
• 16:47
  dissertations on this subject of prayer.
• 16:50
  But I'd like to answer the question, why pray?
• 16:52
  Why do we need to pray? It's important because most
• 16:56
  believers pray without knowing the need in, in, in, in.
• 17:00
  In all honesty, I think most believers just found themselves
• 17:04
  in this drive to pray and in a bit to emulate those they
• 17:08
  admire. They got into the subject of
• 17:11
  prayer. It was not willingly so.
• 17:14
  It was not with determination and understanding.
• 17:17
  They just admired certain people, maybe men of God, maybe
• 17:20
  business people, maybe elders in the faith.
• 17:23
  And since the people credited their transformation to prayer,
• 17:26
  many people just follow suit. But you need a deeper conviction
• 17:30
  than that if your prayer life is going to be rich.
• 17:33
  So let's answer the question, why pray?
• 17:36
  What is the foundational? Revelation behind this call to
• 17:43
  prayer. Is it just to feel spiritual?
• 17:46
  Is it just to have power? Is it to ease the guilt of
• 17:50
  laziness spiritually? Why pray?
• 17:54
  I will tell you, and I want you to please listen, the foundation
• 17:59
  or the foundational revelation that necessitates this whole
• 18:03
  subject of prayer is embedded in something God put within man.
• 18:09
  I want you to listen. Please listen carefully.
• 18:12
  Genesis chapter 1 and verse 26 gives us the first biblical
• 18:17
  account of man's creation as we know and God said verse 26, let
• 18:22
  us make man in our image. That is a very important word,
• 18:27
  our image and after our likeness, let us make man.
• 18:33
  The first reason, the foundational reason why men must
• 18:36
  pray is in the very design of man.
• 18:39
  How God made man to function. So the Bible says God made man
• 18:45
  in his image. The image of God is a spiritual
• 18:48
  quality. Are we together now and then?
• 18:51
  To function means the way men function. 2 hands, 2 feet to
• 18:55
  speak, to hear, and all of that. Now God gave man.
• 19:02
  A very unique gift at the point of creation.
• 19:07
  That gift is called the wheel. Everybody said the wheel one
• 19:11
  more time, said the wheel. As simple as this sounds, it is
• 19:16
  a very, very, very important subject that God gave man in
• 19:21
  creating man. He gave man a unique ability
• 19:25
  called the will. The power to make decisions, the
• 19:29
  power to make choices. And from the moment God gave man
• 19:33
  that unique gift, that unique ability, God designed that
• 19:38
  ability in man such that as far as he's alive, nothing should
• 19:43
  sustain the power to take away the will of man.
• 19:47
  The only thing that can take the power, power of man's will is
• 19:51
  death. So the moment a man dies, he no
• 19:55
  longer has the ability, as much as the Bible reveals, to make
• 19:59
  any choice, any decision at all upon the earth.
• 20:02
  But for as long as a man is alive, he's able to use that
• 20:07
  gift of the will to make choices.
• 20:10
  But there are implications to give him that gift.
• 20:14
  That gift meant that God would never assume anything about man
• 20:19
  again. From the time man received the
• 20:21
  gift of the will, man had a mandate to always verbalize his
• 20:26
  intentions, verbalize his needs, communicate his desires.
• 20:31
  It seemed as if it became illegal for God to superimpose
• 20:36
  into man's space, bringing anything at all without that man
• 20:41
  making demands of it. Are we together now?
• 20:45
  I hope you know that with gifts come responsibility.
• 20:48
  If I give you a car, while I'm congratulating you for receiving
• 20:51
  the car keys, it comes with responsibilities.
• 20:54
  You need to know how to maintain the car, to fuel the car.
• 20:57
  The next time you call me to give you a lift, I'm going to
• 21:00
  ask you, how about the car I gave you?
• 21:02
  So God gave man a unique gift, but with that gift became a very
• 21:08
  serious responsibility. This is the foundation for
• 21:12
  prayer. If you do not understand this,
• 21:14
  your prayer life will be acting, you will be tired, you will be
• 21:18
  wearing, you will backslide and repent, backslide and repent
• 21:21
  until you backslide with no need for repentance again.
• 21:25
  This is a lot of many believers and the reason is because they
• 21:28
  do not even understand the foundational revelation upon
• 21:32
  which prayer is built. So back to my story, God gave
• 21:35
  man a will. And from the moment God gave man
• 21:40
  a will, Can you imagine that God in his might, his wisdom, would
• 21:45
  have to allow man to use that will?
• 21:49
  That God designed his work with man from the time he gave man a
• 21:53
  will to be a response system. That means man would have to use
• 21:58
  that gift of will to communicate his desire, to communicate the
• 22:02
  need for help. Are we together now and that God
• 22:05
  would not assume? Even though God left something
• 22:10
  in his dealings with man called His mercy and there is a reason
• 22:13
  why He left it there. Because there are times man
• 22:16
  would have the need but because of ignorance or oppression he
• 22:20
  would not know how to call upon God.
• 22:22
  At that point mercy becomes another door that God can still
• 22:26
  follow and help man. If God did not add mercy, all
• 22:30
  men may die, maybe within a week.
• 22:33
  Because you will be learning that we do not know what to pray
• 22:36
  for us. We ought to.
• 22:37
  And so there are many times we have received help in our lives
• 22:41
  that were not directly credited to our asking.
• 22:44
  We did not not even know that we needed it.
• 22:47
  God left His mercy. Are we together?
• 22:49
  He wrapped up His relationship with man such that even though
• 22:53
  He gave us a will, He still put His mercy as the platform for
• 22:57
  his relating with man. If you're following, say Amen.
• 23:02
  So why pray? Matthew 7 and verse 7?
• 23:05
  Jesus is teaching now Matthew 7 and verse 7.
• 23:09
  Why pray? Because God gave man a will and
• 23:14
  He desires that man uses that will, the ability to choose, the
• 23:18
  ability to make petitions. Jesus says it this way.
• 23:22
  Ask and it shall be given to you.
• 23:25
  Understand that this is Jesus teaching.
• 23:27
  Ask, he says, and it shall be given to you.
• 23:31
  We are safe to reverse it. Refuse to ask, and even though
• 23:34
  it is available, it will not be given to you.
• 23:37
  Then he says, Seek, and ye shall find.
• 23:40
  Knock, he says, and it shall be opened unto you.
• 23:44
  Verse 8 For everyone that asked, receive it.
• 23:49
  Who receives? The one who asks, not the one
• 23:53
  who wants. Many believers want many things
• 23:56
  from God. Many believers desire many
• 23:59
  things from life. But the Bible says the receiver
• 24:03
  receiving is a reward for asking.
• 24:07
  Everyone that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth unto
• 24:12
  him that knocketh. The Bible says it shall be
• 24:15
  opened. Why do we pray?
• 24:18
  The Bible mandates that receiving only responds to
• 24:22
  asking Matthew. Mark 11 and verse 24.
• 24:26
  Mark 1124. Jesus again is teaching.
• 24:30
  Therefore I say unto you, What things so ever ye desire, when
• 24:35
  ye pray not. If ye pray not You are advised
• 24:38
  to pray. When ye pray it says believe
• 24:42
  that ye receive them. Are you see now?
• 24:44
  So we now connect asking to prayer and receiving.
• 24:48
  Is it making sense now Remember it is only those who ask that
• 24:52
  receive. And now Jesus is introducing
• 24:55
  something between asking and prayer.
• 24:57
  That the way we ask is in prayer so that we receive.
• 25:02
  So we can connect this with Matthew 7/7 that everyone that
• 25:06
  asketh in prayer is the one who receives.
• 25:12
  Are we together? Why pray?
• 25:18
  Because only those who ask using the gift of the will that God
• 25:23
  has given them receive. This is very important when you
• 25:30
  have your phone. Most of us here have phones and
• 25:35
  you have within your phone the ability to call, call a
• 25:38
  helpline, call a friend. Am I right on that?
• 25:41
  Now, if you need say you have access to my number and I told
• 25:44
  you, you can call me anytime. Did you know that if you fail to
• 25:48
  call, assuming there's no network problem, there's no
• 25:51
  recharge card problem, and then you do not call me, you see, you
• 25:55
  can be in danger, but I have bound myself by my word that if
• 26:00
  you refuse to call, I assume you are safe, or I assume whatever
• 26:04
  trouble you are having is within your power to deal with it.
• 26:08
  I have taught you that the greatest demonstration of
• 26:10
  humility is prayerfulness. When you are prayerless, you are
• 26:14
  proud. It's a Declaration of
• 26:17
  Independence that you do not need the strength, the wisdom,
• 26:20
  the assistance of heaven. Are we learning now?
• 26:25
  This is very important. Ask and it shall be given.
• 26:29
  Seek and you shall find. Knock, and the door shall be
• 26:32
  opened unto you. So every time you go to the
• 26:35
  place of prayer, you are making use of this unique gift that God
• 26:40
  gave everyone your will. You are verbalizing your desire,
• 26:44
  whether expressing it in love, in fellowship, whether
• 26:48
  expressing it as receiving answers to petitions, and
• 26:52
  whatever it is, if you fail to exercise that will in prayer,
• 26:56
  you will live a defeated life. Even though you are saved, you
• 27:00
  would think being born again should exempt you from prayer.
• 27:04
  There are many believers who are saved, but because they do not
• 27:09
  understand the prayer ministry nor how to utilize this gift of
• 27:14
  the wheel, the hymn writer says all.
• 27:16
  What needless pain we bear. There are certain pains, there
• 27:20
  are certain battles that are needless.
• 27:23
  If only we know how to use this gift of the wheel to call for
• 27:26
  help. Hallelujah.
• 27:30
  Many years ago, I used to watch wrestling.
• 27:32
  There's something they call wrestling, and there's an aspect
• 27:36
  of that wrestling called tag team, remember, where two people
• 27:40
  fight two people. One will usually stand outside
• 27:42
  the ring and hope that his other colleague does a good job.
• 27:46
  But sometimes things go really bad.
• 27:48
  Things go really sour, especially for the other one.
• 27:51
  They will beat the living daylight out of him.
• 27:53
  And while he's there gasping for breath, the other guy is
• 27:56
  energized and angry, just hoping he can touch him.
• 28:00
  You still remember, and he can stretch while the other one
• 28:03
  draws him back, calls his brother.
• 28:05
  But for some he can muzzle energy just enough, and
• 28:10
  sometimes that can be the difference between winning or
• 28:12
  losing. Stretch himself almost on to
• 28:17
  death and touch the other brother.
• 28:19
  And once that other one jumps inside the ring, he can even
• 28:21
  defeat two of the people at once.
• 28:24
  And within minutes, victory is declared.
• 28:28
  That's how prayer is, that the man may be weak, may not have
• 28:32
  the power, but there is a system of assistance, but that there
• 28:36
  are rules of engagement, even though the other one is mighty,
• 28:40
  in fact almighty in this case. But then he stands at the other
• 28:44
  side, waiting, respecting his own word that if you believe
• 28:49
  that you do not have the power to run your life, you show that
• 28:53
  you need him very fast. Still, back to my subject of the
• 28:56
  wrestling. There are some who don't even
• 28:58
  allow themselves to be beaten after the first punch.
• 29:00
  They quietly. That is wisdom, because
• 29:08
  eventually they will still beg for help.
• 29:11
  So why delay after you have been beaten?
• 29:16
  Bless, that is, see who comes in the name of our God.
• 29:23
  Bless, that is, see who comes in the name of our God.
• 29:31
  Are we learning now? So the first thing I wanted to
• 29:34
  know is why we pray? Anyone who does not pray is not
• 29:38
  exercising the gift of the will that God gave him.
• 29:42
  You are wasting the privilege, the advantage, and the leverage
• 29:48
  of an invincible God. I hate to use the word ally, but
• 29:53
  since he's called us Co laborers with him, it's safe to say there
• 29:56
  is. There is an ally that is
• 29:59
  indestructible, the creator of the ends of the earth, waiting
• 30:03
  to coordinate the resources of heaven to your advantage.
• 30:06
  But the only thing he says we have.
• 30:09
  Not because we ask, not not because Satan is powerful man
• 30:15
  like EM. Bounds will show that there is
• 30:17
  power that is contained in the place of prayer.
• 30:20
  If only believers knew the unlimited resources that could
• 30:24
  come to them from heaven, most believers would take prayer
• 30:27
  seriously. It will not just be about
• 30:29
  impressing a man of God, or impressing a group of people or
• 30:33
  showing through social media. You are anointed the, the, the
• 30:37
  need for prayer is bigger than that, that your life literally
• 30:40
  depends on it. How could you know that you are
• 30:44
  sitting before such a leverage and then reject it?
• 30:48
  You have to be ignorant. Are we together again?
• 30:53
  I give you my card, say, and that card, you know, has some
• 30:57
  money in it. And I'm telling you, when you
• 30:59
  get to the mall, when you get to whatever it is, you have
• 31:02
  unlimited access. You use the card.
• 31:05
  All I needed to do is inform me and then you use it.
• 31:09
  I don't need to give you. It's with you.
• 31:11
  But I'm saying the condition is inform me.
• 31:15
  There is something I will tell the bank when you inform me and
• 31:18
  it makes the card active immediately.
• 31:20
  You can roam around the mall in pain.
• 31:23
  You can roam around while your children cry.
• 31:25
  Mommy, can't we eat? Daddy, can't we eat?
• 31:27
  That card looks like there's money in it and you can
• 31:30
  arrogantly swipe it and it does not work because the condition
• 31:34
  is to inform me. But if you are childlike enough
• 31:37
  to inform me in one moment, you can fill your trolley with
• 31:41
  baskets or provisions or what needless pain we bear.
• 31:47
  Many believers do not know that the real victory of the
• 31:51
  believer, the real victory of the believer, is coordinated and
• 31:56
  released in the place of prayer. Are we learning?
• 32:03
  We pray because God gave us the gift of the will, and for as
• 32:08
  long as we know and learn the dynamics of exercising that
• 32:13
  will, verbalizing, communicating our desire, our helplessness,
• 32:18
  our challenges, our frustrations, God is more than
• 32:21
  willing. He's bound himself with a
• 32:24
  covenant that for every believer who uses the gift of that will
• 32:28
  to call upon him, that he will coordinate the resources of
• 32:32
  heaven to the advantage of that believer.
• 32:35
  Shout, I will pray one more time.
• 32:37
  Say I will pray. What you just said is I'm ready
• 32:41
  to be victorious. What you just said is I'm ready
• 32:43
  to walk in partnership with God. I am tired of walking alone.
• 32:47
  Life is not that hard. It is hard when you are walking
• 32:49
  alone. But when you have a trusted ally
• 32:52
  proven the creator of the ends of the earth, you are able to
• 32:56
  walk as frail as you are, you will look indomitable because of
• 33:00
  the one who stands behind you. The Bible says he stands behind
• 33:03
  you as a mighty terrible one. Mighty terrible one #2 What is
• 33:13
  the assignment of prayer? Now that you know I need to
• 33:16
  teach you this very quickly. What is the assignment of
• 33:19
  prayer? Now I'm going to make a
• 33:21
  statement that would disturb many of you.
• 33:24
  Prayer is not the answer to everything.
• 33:28
  Listen again, I will repeat it. Prayer is not the answer to
• 33:32
  everything. It is one of the major keys of
• 33:35
  the Kingdom, but not the only key of the Kingdom.
• 33:39
  Let me repeat it again. Prayer is not the answer to
• 33:43
  everything. The Bible does not teach that.
• 33:46
  The Bible tells us that prayer must be involved in everything.
• 33:51
  Are we together now? It says be anxious for nothing.
• 33:54
  Philippians chapter 4 and verse 6 Be anxious for nothing.
• 34:00
  It says bought in everything by prayer and supplication with
• 34:07
  Thanksgiving. Let your request concerning
• 34:10
  whatever it is be made known unto God.
• 34:13
  So everything in your life should involve prayer.
• 34:17
  Prayer should be part of every aspect of your life now, with
• 34:22
  all sincerity and and with every sense of respect.
• 34:25
  When we talk about things like finances and well-being and
• 34:28
  success, sometimes, even though well-intentioned, many believers
• 34:33
  say prayer has nothing to do with finances.
• 34:35
  Prayer has nothing to do with success.
• 34:37
  I don't believe that. I don't believe that provided
• 34:42
  God is involved. Prayer is involved.
• 34:45
  Are we together? Except you do not believe that
• 34:48
  God helps men to prosper and the Bible says it convincingly.
• 34:52
  God made Uzziah to prosper. Second Chronicles chapter 25 and
• 34:57
  verse 5. I believe 26 and verse 5.
• 34:59
  I hope I got it right that as long as he sought the Lord who
• 35:04
  made him prosper, God made him prosper.
• 35:08
  God is able to make men prosper. When the Lord appeared to
• 35:12
  Solomon, Solomon requested that he would have an understanding
• 35:17
  heart and God told him, I will also give you other things aside
• 35:21
  from an understanding heart. I will give you riches, wealth
• 35:24
  and honor. I will give you God gives men.
• 35:28
  I don't know how you got yours, but I like how the Bible says
• 35:31
  it. My help cometh from the Lord.
• 35:33
  He leaves it as a personal affair.
• 35:36
  If your own comes from your own cool, safe journey.
• 35:37
  But my own help comes from the Lord.
• 35:42
  Are we learning now? Prayer is not the key to
• 35:46
  everything, but prayer must be involved in everything.
• 35:50
  There is no aspect of your life that you should take away.
• 35:55
  The subject of prayer out of that is dangerous theology, very
• 35:59
  dangerous theology. Your health prayer, your
• 36:02
  finances prayer, your job prayer, your education prayer.
• 36:06
  Prayer should be involved in every aspect of your life.
• 36:10
  Humorously, I say this way that when prayer is not the key, it
• 36:14
  becomes a hand that holds the key.
• 36:18
  When prayer itself is not the key, it becomes that hand that
• 36:22
  holds any key. So if the key is wisdom, prayer
• 36:26
  becomes the hand that holds the key of wisdom.
• 36:28
  If the key is favor, prayer becomes a hand that holds the
• 36:32
  key. Prayer is an amplifier of
• 36:35
  anything. Intelligence plus prayer becomes
• 36:38
  super intelligence. Favor from prayer applause.
• 36:42
  Prayer becomes, you know, spirit.
• 36:45
  But favor. Many people have been taught,
• 36:49
  sincerely but erroneously, that there are certain aspects of
• 36:53
  their lives where they should take the business of prayer out
• 36:56
  of. I do not condemn those who say
• 36:58
  it. I understand what they mean to
• 37:00
  say, but it is still wrong. Prayer must be involved in every
• 37:05
  aspect of the believers life. For most people who teach that
• 37:10
  what they are trying to correct is the subject of teaching that
• 37:13
  prayer is the one and only key. And I agree with them on that.
• 37:17
  Prayer is not the one and only key.
• 37:20
  If it were so, Africa would not be where it is today.
• 37:24
  I do not know any continent that prays more than Africa, and it
• 37:28
  looks like our problems multiply as we pray.
• 37:31
  That means we need to add other keys.
• 37:33
  The keys of wisdom, the keys of knowledge, the keys of
• 37:36
  integrity, the keys of leadership, the keys of
• 37:38
  diligence. These are the keys, alongside
• 37:41
  prayer, that drives the believer to holistic victory.
• 37:45
  If you are learning tonight, shout Amen.
• 37:49
  So prayer is not the only key, but prayer must be involved in
• 37:53
  every aspect of the believer's life.
• 37:56
  I said that to explain the assignment of prayer.
• 37:59
  Now, prayer is a subject that all of us are still students and
• 38:02
  I'm still learning myself. I've had the honor of learning
• 38:05
  from great men, authorities in prayer, people dead and some
• 38:09
  alive, people who really understand the subject of prayer
• 38:12
  with proven results in their lives.
• 38:15
  I've read many books on prayer. I've studied the subject many
• 38:18
  times myself, and I remain a student of prayer.
• 38:21
  And this is what I have found in my study that there are
• 38:24
  essentially, and I'm not going to do a long teaching, I'm just
• 38:27
  doing a summary because I have taught this year, but forsake of
• 38:31
  those who are listening for the first time.
• 38:33
  There are four basic assignments of prayer in the life of the
• 38:37
  believer. You may want to write this down
• 38:38
  very quickly. Number one, the first assignment
• 38:41
  of prayer according to Scripture is for the growth and
• 38:45
  transformation of the believer. Please write that down.
• 38:48
  The first assignment of prayer according to Scripture is for
• 38:53
  the growth and transformation of the believer.
• 38:57
  Popular Scripture. Luke 929.
• 39:00
  And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and
• 39:05
  his raiment became white and glistering.
• 39:08
  I have taught it here. Let me repeat it again, that you
• 39:10
  can pray various versions of yourself to limelight.
• 39:14
  You can pray away the weak version of you and bring out the
• 39:18
  strong version of you. You can pray the carnal version
• 39:21
  of you away and bring the spiritual version of you.
• 39:25
  A kind of metamorphosis happens to the believer in the place of
• 39:29
  prayer. And I like to use the example of
• 39:31
  molting, how reptiles like snake mold, they come out of their old
• 39:35
  self into a bigger, fresher, richer self.
• 39:39
  That's what prayer can do, that you literally can come out of
• 39:42
  your old weak canal on discerning self into a stronger,
• 39:46
  more spiritually vibrant self. You believe that shout, Amen.
• 39:51
  So the first assignment of prayer is for the growth and the
• 39:55
  transformation of the believer. And let me stop to say this,
• 39:59
  that the major part of your activity in prayer would be
• 40:03
  centered to achieve this goal. I've said it here in Koinonia
• 40:08
  that most of the things we desire were supposed to come
• 40:12
  naturally to growth. Remember that one of the miracle
• 40:16
  services that most of the things we pray for, the answer to those
• 40:20
  requests were supposed to gravitate to our lives at the
• 40:23
  instance of growth. That means no matter how you
• 40:27
  pray, if you do not contend for growth, there is a version of
• 40:31
  you that cannot receive certain answers.
• 40:34
  It doesn't matter what you ask God for.
• 40:37
  You imagine that someone who does not know anything about
• 40:40
  ministry, for instance, is asking God to give you a global
• 40:44
  ministry. Lord, give me a global
• 40:46
  anointing. Bring everybody who is demon
• 40:48
  possessed to me, witches and Wizards causes, let them just
• 40:51
  come. I know what to do with them.
• 40:52
  God is too merciful to answer that kind of prayer because
• 40:55
  already you can see that the fact that he has the boldness to
• 40:58
  make that request is is it means is in ignorance.
• 41:03
  Are we together? The disciples were
• 41:05
  overconfident, believing that because they were with Jesus,
• 41:08
  they could cast out any spirit whatsoever.
• 41:11
  Jesus went up the Mount of Transfiguration and they took
• 41:13
  loss into their hands. They now try to cast out a
• 41:17
  spirit from an epileptic patient.
• 41:19
  You see what happened to them. They embarrassed themselves.
• 41:21
  Their their egos were stung. And when Jesus came, he cheaply,
• 41:25
  easily, freely brought deliverance to that boy.
• 41:31
  It was Jesus that said the boy had a deaf and dumb spirit.
• 41:34
  Yet the boy was not deaf. He was not dumb.
• 41:37
  He was epileptic. Yet the name of the spirit that
• 41:40
  came out of him says Jesus was a deaf and dumb spirit.
• 41:45
  But when he was delivered, the disciples had to meet Jesus.
• 41:48
  They kept thinking about it. They said, why couldn't we cast
• 41:51
  out this one? And Jesus began to give them
• 41:54
  education that there are levels, even this anointing thing, just
• 41:58
  because you have it, it's not all-purpose.
• 42:00
  You keep growing in it. And your possibilities are based
• 42:04
  on the your individual command of knowledge backed up with
• 42:08
  spiritual power. Are we learning now?
• 42:11
  So the first assignment of prayer is for growth and
• 42:14
  transformation #2 very quickly. The second assignment of prayer
• 42:19
  is as a platform to make requests and obtain promises.
• 42:23
  To make requests and obtain promises.
• 42:26
  We saw that already in Mark 1124.
• 42:29
  Mark 11/24 What things so ever ye desire when ye pray, believe
• 42:35
  that thou receiveth them, and thou shalt have it.
• 42:39
  Philippians 4 and verse 6 says Be anxious for nothing.
• 42:42
  We read that earlier, but in everything by prayer and
• 42:46
  supplication, it says, let your request be made known unto God.
• 42:50
  Let your request be made known. Don't assume again, refer to
• 42:55
  what I taught you on the wheel. Let your request, verbalize it,
• 42:58
  communicate it in prayer #3 The third assignment of prayer
• 43:05
  according to Scripture is as a platform to make the decrease
• 43:11
  and to establish spiritual realities.
• 43:15
  To make decrease and to establish spiritual realities.
• 43:20
  Job 2228. To make decrease.
• 43:23
  So in the place of prayer we have an opportunity to make
• 43:26
  decrease. And thou shalt decree a thing,
• 43:30
  and it shall be established unto the one who makes a decree, not
• 43:34
  the one who desires establishment.
• 43:36
  Thou shalt decree a thing also, and it shall be established unto
• 43:40
  thee, and the light shall shine upon your ways.
• 43:46
  Numbers 1428. School of Prayer.
• 43:50
  Numbers 1428 Say unto them, As truly as I live, say the Lord,
• 43:57
  it says, As ye have spoken in my ears, so will I do unto you.
• 44:02
  As you have spoken. As you have spoken, so will I do
• 44:07
  as you have spoken Is someone learning now?
• 44:09
  So prayer assignment #3 is as a platform to make decrease and to
• 44:16
  establish spiritual realities. That means when you open up your
• 44:19
  mouth and begin to declare, the Lord is my light and my
• 44:22
  salvation, of whom shall I be afraid of?
• 44:25
  I decree and declare that this is the day the Lord has made.
• 44:28
  I rejoice and I am glad in it. Is someone learning now?
• 44:31
  You are making decrease. You are making decrease.
• 44:34
  You are making decrease. It looks like you are just
• 44:37
  speaking, going around the room, or you are just stretching your
• 44:40
  hands. But the Bible tells us that that
• 44:43
  is also prayer and that the things you are making decree of
• 44:47
  will be established in your life.
• 44:48
  Someone say Amen #4 the 4th. And for this teaching, the final
• 44:56
  assignment of prayer as revealed in Scripture is for warfare and
• 45:01
  intercession. Warfare and Intercession prayer
• 45:06
  is a platform that allows the believer to engage in warfare
• 45:12
  and intercession. Let me define for you what
• 45:15
  warfare is. Warfare is the spiritual system
• 45:19
  by which we use the Word of God in prayer to establish the
• 45:23
  victory that has been wrought in Christ, to establish the victory
• 45:28
  over principalities, over situations, over conditions, the
• 45:32
  platform that allows us to take advantage of the Word of God and
• 45:38
  other resources, the blood, the name to establish the victory
• 45:42
  experientially that has been wrought in Christ.
• 45:46
  It's important. I say that because when we talk
• 45:48
  about warfare, we have various ideas across the body of Christ.
• 45:53
  There are certain definitions of warfare I do not believe in.
• 45:56
  For instance, an endless contention between Satan and the
• 46:00
  Saints with no possibility of victory.
• 46:03
  The Bible does not teach that. The Bible teaches us that the
• 46:08
  believer can come into a settled, established victory.
• 46:14
  Are we together? Warfare and prophetic
• 46:19
  intercession? Why warfare first be touched
• 46:22
  after 508, The Bible tells us to be sober, to be vigilant.
• 46:27
  Why? Because your adversary, the
• 46:28
  devil, even though you are a child of God, washed by the
• 46:31
  blood of the Lamb, even though you are now a recipient of the
• 46:34
  life of God, the Bible says this.
• 46:36
  The devil is still roaming around like a roaring lion
• 46:39
  walking about, seeking whom he may devour.
• 46:45
  John 1010 says the thief comment not but for to steal, to kill
• 46:49
  and to destroy, to steal, to kill and to destroy.
• 46:53
  And Jesus told us in Luke 10/19 it says, I give you authority
• 46:58
  and power over snakes and scorpions and over all the power
• 47:03
  of the enemy, and if you know how to engage it, nothing shall
• 47:07
  by any means hurt you. You don't know how to engage it.
• 47:10
  You will quote the scripture while you are being hurt daily
• 47:13
  and maybe forever. You see, most people read the
• 47:17
  Bible scientifically and they do not see the thoughts between the
• 47:20
  lines. You read this scripture and you
• 47:23
  can blindly claim things and never see victory in your life.
• 47:26
  Or I've been given authority and power over snakes and scorpions
• 47:29
  and all the powers of the enemy. You are correct.
• 47:32
  But do you understand the dynamics of engaging that
• 47:35
  authority, engaging that? Power.
• 47:37
  This is why I'm teaching you. It's in the place of prayer.
• 47:41
  And if you do not know how to engage it, in as much as the
• 47:44
  victory in Christ is a reality, you will still walk in perpetual
• 47:48
  defeat. Here's how the Bible puts it.
• 47:50
  There remained a rest for the people of God.
• 47:54
  They are the people of God purchased by his blood.
• 47:57
  But there is still a Sabbath that they are yet to enter.
• 48:00
  And the Bible says, let us lay born to enter that rest.
• 48:04
  Paul is teaching us now to label and enter that rest.
• 48:06
  So a quick recap. The four major assignments of
• 48:09
  prayer according to Scripture. Number one, for the growth and
• 48:13
  transformation of the believer #2 as a platform to make
• 48:17
  requests and obtain promises #3 to make, decrease and establish
• 48:23
  spiritual realities in your life and in my life.
• 48:27
  And finally, for warfare and intercession.
• 48:30
  Warfare and intercession. Can we go to the next part?
• 48:37
  The third thing I want to teach you tonight.
• 48:39
  I have taught it, but then I want to do a quick recap is
• 48:44
  found in efficient chapter 6 and verse 18.
• 48:47
  The Bible tells us that there are various kinds of prayer.
• 48:51
  Let's read together ready 1 to go.
• 48:54
  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.
• 49:01
  One more time. Praying always with all prayer
• 49:05
  and supplication in the Spirit. All prayer.
• 49:09
  NIV, please. NIVI believe says all kinds of
• 49:12
  prayer. I hope I'm right on that.
• 49:15
  All kinds of prayer. That's right.
• 49:17
  Praying in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of
• 49:22
  prayers. That means there are various
• 49:26
  kinds of prayers. And let's see the one you know
• 49:29
  and the one you don't know in this teaching.
• 49:30
  Because many believers know the one they were taught or the one
• 49:34
  they saw within, maybe respectfully their denomination
• 49:37
  or whatever man of God model prayer to them.
• 49:40
  But there are various kinds of prayer.
• 49:43
  And I want to run through a list.
• 49:45
  Are you ready to learn #1 the first kind of prayer that the
• 49:49
  Bible teaches in no particular order.
• 49:52
  I'm just helping to guide your understanding.
• 49:54
  Remember, this is school of prayer.
• 49:56
  So this is a lecture. Are you ready #1 praying in the
• 50:00
  Spirit, what we call praying in tongues.
• 50:03
  This is the first kind of prayer in no particular order that we
• 50:07
  find in Scripture. There is such a kind of prayer
• 50:10
  as praying in the Spirit or praying in tongues.
• 50:16
  First Corinthians chapter 14 and verse 15 Amplify, please, the
• 50:21
  school of prayer. Someone is gaining mastery.
• 50:24
  Now you are learning that what you have been doing maybe 1 / 5
• 50:27
  or 1 / 6. No wonder the inefficiency in
• 50:30
  prayer. It's amazing the things people
• 50:32
  tell God and how they tell Him in the place of prayer.
• 50:35
  So don't just tell me I am prayerful.
• 50:37
  What are you saying? Are we together?
• 50:41
  Not everyone who writes an exam passes the exam.
• 50:44
  You may be there, you may be at the venue, you may sit down,
• 50:47
  have a paper, have a question paper and write it and come out
• 50:50
  and smile together with those who will get A.
• 50:53
  But when the result is out, there's ABCE or D depending on
• 51:00
  what parameter you are using. An F there is even absent and
• 51:07
  yet the person came for the exam.
• 51:08
  Maybe he forgot his exam card or he forgot something.
• 51:11
  He would still be put absent there or he didn't finish paying
• 51:14
  school fees Absent. Are we together praying in the
• 51:22
  Spirit? First Corinthians 1415 Then what
• 51:28
  am I to do? He says I will pray with my
• 51:31
  spirit. What does that mean by the Holy
• 51:34
  Spirit that is within me? But I will pray also
• 51:37
  intelligently with my mind and understanding.
• 51:40
  He says I will sing with my Spirit by the Spirit that is
• 51:44
  within me, and I will sing intelligently with my mind and
• 51:47
  my understanding. So you can pray in or with the
• 51:50
  Spirit, and you can pray with your understanding.
• 51:53
  Just back down. First Corinthians chapter 14.
• 51:55
  Now verse 2, let's look at verse 2, First Corinthians 14 and
• 51:59
  verse 2. It says for he that speaketh in
• 52:04
  an unknown tongue speaketh not unto man he's talking about the
• 52:08
  prayer language of tongues, but unto God.
• 52:11
  For no man understandeth or catches his meaning, because in
• 52:17
  the Holy Spirit he utters secret truths and hidden things not of
• 52:22
  yours to the understanding is someone learning.
• 52:24
  Now go to verse 4. Same scripture will read the A
• 52:27
  part. He that speaketh in an unknown
• 52:30
  tongue and defied himself builds up himself.
• 52:36
  This is the first prayer model that is given to us in no
• 52:40
  particular order that you pray in tongues.
• 52:44
  Now listen please. The subject of praying in the
• 52:46
  spirit of praying in tongues has been an age long debate.
• 52:51
  But let me tell you this, I'm not here to create any further
• 52:54
  arguments. I can tell you based on the
• 52:55
  authority of scripture and in the experience of my own life
• 52:59
  and those who have modelled Christ in a way that is
• 53:01
  enviable. You will never have a truly rich
• 53:05
  spiritual life if you do not open up yourself to receive as
• 53:10
  another advantage to the life of God that you have received this
• 53:14
  gift of the prayer language. It has nothing to do with being
• 53:18
  a Pentecostal or being a charismatic on unfortunately, I
• 53:22
  know the reason why other faith, you know, denominations are a
• 53:27
  lot more modest is because of the way tongues is administered
• 53:31
  is administered with a lot of foolishness and carelessness and
• 53:34
  it makes it so unattractive. There's a way people do it that
• 53:40
  you said, no, I'm not. I'm not into this this madness,
• 53:42
  but there is a decent way of engaging the prayer language
• 53:46
  such that you get maximum utility from that gift.
• 53:51
  By this, I'm calling on anyone here who is yet to be filled
• 53:54
  with the Holy Spirit with evidence of fluent tongues.
• 53:58
  Fluent tongues like any other language.
• 54:01
  Are we together? Fluent tongues open up your
• 54:05
  Spirit to receive tonight, and then you can always be open to
• 54:08
  receive from our prayer department.
• 54:10
  It was designed with that as one of the assignments, a platform
• 54:14
  that gives you opportunity to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
• 54:18
  Something happens to you when you engage in the Spirit
• 54:22
  consistently, consistently. Again, my reservation goes to
• 54:28
  dear Pentecostals and Charismatics because of the
• 54:32
  misuse of this gift. It's been so battered that it's
• 54:37
  brought reproach to the name of the Lord.
• 54:39
  How could God give such a gift that looks like it makes people
• 54:43
  mad? No Sir, anything that comes from
• 54:46
  God is good and it is perfect. If it was misused, it came as a
• 54:50
  result of ignorance. Who is learning?
• 54:57
  Pray in the spirit. Pray in the spirit.
• 55:00
  A weak man becomes strong when you pray in the spirit.
• 55:04
  Pray in the spirit. A non discerning person becomes
• 55:08
  a person of such profound discernment training.
• 55:12
  The Spirit helps you to access illumination by the Spirit.
• 55:15
  There are so many things you miss when you do not submit
• 55:20
  yourself to the prayer language in tongues.
• 55:22
  Can we go to the second prayer model?
• 55:25
  The second prayer model that the Bible reveals is faith filled
• 55:31
  declaration of Scriptures. Faith filled declaration of
• 55:36
  Scripture. This is the second prayer model
• 55:39
  that we see. Faith filled declaration of
• 55:42
  Scripture. Psalm 102, verse 2 and 3.
• 55:46
  Psalm 102 Two and three, hide not thy face from me in the day
• 55:52
  when I am in trouble, incline thy ear unto me in the day when
• 55:56
  I call Ansami speedily. Verse 3 For my days are consumed
• 56:00
  like smoke, and my bones are burned like Psalm.
• 56:04
  One O 7 not one O 2. We're reading one O 7 Media,
• 56:08
  help us. Let the redeem.
• 56:13
  That's right, let the redeemed of the Lord Kaenonia, let the
• 56:17
  redeemed of the Lord whom he had redeemed from the hand of the
• 56:21
  enemy, verse 3, the Bible says, and gathered them out of the
• 56:25
  lands from the east, the West, the north, and the South.
• 56:28
  Let the redeemed of the Lord not just believe so, not just know
• 56:32
  so, but say so. Let the healed of the Lord say
• 56:35
  so. Let the prosperous of the Lord
• 56:37
  say so. Make faith filled declarations.
• 56:40
  It is a kind of prayer. Ecclesiastes chapter 8 and verse
• 56:44
  4, please. Ecclesiastes 8 and verse 4, the
• 56:47
  second scriptural model, the Bible says to pray all kinds of
• 56:51
  prayers. It says where the word of a
• 56:53
  king, for instance, Joshua Selman is.
• 56:55
  It says there is power where the word of a king.
• 57:00
  He has made us kings unto our God.
• 57:03
  You believe you are royalty, don't just say I'm royalty.
• 57:06
  You must utilize the blessings that come.
• 57:08
  Keep that scripture please. Where the word of a king is,
• 57:11
  there is power, but that power is released through words.
• 57:16
  When kings are silent, everything goes wrong, but when
• 57:19
  they speak, what they speak becomes law.
• 57:22
  It becomes decrees. Are we together faith filled
• 57:26
  declarations of Scripture? I give you an example of what
• 57:30
  that means. So you go to the place of prayer
• 57:33
  in addition to praying in the Spirit.
• 57:35
  You begin to make declarations. I declare and declare by the
• 57:38
  power of the Holy Spirit that the hand of God is upon my life.
• 57:42
  Favor is at work in my life. You are literally carrying
• 57:45
  Scripture, and you are speaking it.
• 57:47
  I am a blessing. I decree and declare that in me
• 57:51
  all the families of the earth are blessed. 1000 shall fall by
• 57:54
  my side, 10,000 by my right side, but none shall hurt me.
• 57:58
  With my eyes shall I see and behold the reward of the wicked.
• 58:02
  It is a powerful dimension of prayer.
• 58:05
  Declaring Scripture. Let the Redeemer of the Lord say
• 58:08
  so. When men say there is a casting
• 58:10
  down, I decree and declare that there is a lifting up.
• 58:13
  Are we together, And the Lord compasses me with favor like a
• 58:17
  shield in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 58:19
  Gentiles come to my light, and they are kings to the brightness
• 58:23
  of my rising. For my shame I received double.
• 58:26
  Where men have deserted me so that no one would pass through
• 58:29
  me. I become an eternal Excellency
• 58:31
  and a joy of many generations. The Lord is my light and my
• 58:35
  salvation. Of whom shall I be afraid of The
• 58:38
  Lord is the strength of my light.
• 58:39
  They may come against me in one way, but they will scatter in
• 58:42
  seven ways. The Lord of the wicked shall not
• 58:46
  rest upon my lot. Are we together now?
• 58:49
  Faith filled declaration. If you are too big to declare
• 58:54
  scripture, you are also too big to see it happen in your life.
• 59:00
  Never get to a point in the Spirit where declaring scripture
• 59:02
  looks like childishness. It is how God created the
• 59:06
  heavens and the earth. And God said the righteousness
• 59:09
  that is of faith speaks. It doesn't assume it speaks in
• 59:15
  the name of Jesus. It was Papa Copeland who would
• 59:19
  say that sometimes he will go to the place of prayer and he's
• 59:23
  declaring scripture on all his organs.
• 59:26
  My lungs are functioning well, my head is functioning well.
• 59:29
  In the name of Jesus, no madness.
• 59:31
  I will wake up coordinated. No incoherence.
• 59:34
  People laughed at him, but many who laughed have long died.
• 59:37
  The man is still alive, walking today in his 80s.
• 59:40
  He's still running conferences. Be careful when inexperienced
• 59:44
  people without result want to create a template for your
• 59:47
  destiny. They would destroy you and
• 59:49
  repent later on. Are we together?
• 59:57
  Changing everything in obedience to Christ.
• 1:00:04
  He's recreating everything in obedience to Christ.
• 1:00:12
  Restoring everything in obedience to Christ.
• 1:00:19
  Seen obedience to Christ. Obedience to Christ.
• 1:00:27
  Obedience to Christ. That's what God is doing.
• 1:00:36
  God is showing you where you are missing it.
• 1:00:38
  For some of us, when you go to the place of prayer, you would
• 1:00:41
  stay there for long, but there's no efficiency.
• 1:00:44
  You are not declaring anything scriptural prayer model.
• 1:00:50
  You are making declarations. There are times that I just walk
• 1:00:53
  up and down. I'm walking around the house and
• 1:00:55
  I'm making declarations. You will think that you see my
• 1:00:59
  reality. Today is what I spoke yesterday.
• 1:01:01
  Tomorrow will show what I'm speaking.
• 1:01:03
  Now. Your words all always go ahead
• 1:01:07
  of you. If you are not saying anything,
• 1:01:09
  don't be angry when you enter an empty room, an empty tomorrow,
• 1:01:15
  an empty tomorrow with no blessings, no favor, no help us,
• 1:01:19
  no nothing. And you say God, but this is
• 1:01:21
  unfair, he said. Remember, I gave you the will.
• 1:01:23
  You had the power to call help us and schedule them like oshas
• 1:01:27
  in your tomorrow and enter your tomorrow gallantly with honor,
• 1:01:31
  but you carelessly ignored it, some of you calling this model
• 1:01:35
  childish. No.
• 1:01:36
  This is how kings reign. Declare scriptures by faith.
• 1:01:42
  He's changing everything in obedience to Christ.
• 1:01:49
  He's rebuilding everything. I pray over Koinonia every day
• 1:01:59
  and it's not only help I speak. Speak to the ministry.
• 1:02:03
  Speak to your life in the name of Jesus.
• 1:02:05
  The Bible says the path of the just.
• 1:02:07
  Not just the path of the ministry, the path of your own
• 1:02:10
  destiny too. The ministry is not a building,
• 1:02:12
  it's you. The path of the just is as a
• 1:02:15
  shining light. I expect testimonies every week,
• 1:02:19
  revelations, manifestations of the hand of God.
• 1:02:22
  The word of God is coming with power.
• 1:02:24
  You think I just prepare notes and come and preach?
• 1:02:26
  My goodness, my words arrive church before me.
• 1:02:29
  I send the words in the name of Jesus.
• 1:02:31
  Willing ears open hearts deconstructing wrong.
• 1:02:35
  Beliefs. Old ideologies changing
• 1:02:39
  everything in obedience to Christ.
• 1:02:45
  He's redirecting everything. Now let me tell you something.
• 1:02:53
  If you refuse to declare over your life, your destiny will
• 1:02:57
  receive anybodies declaration. Because man lives by words.
• 1:03:02
  Your destiny is not just looking for food, is also looking for
• 1:03:05
  words. If it's not your words, it will
• 1:03:07
  pick up any word. Like your phone picking up any
• 1:03:10
  Wi-Fi, picking up anything in the air causes I'll speakings
• 1:03:15
  the scorching tongues of man. When someone says it will not be
• 1:03:18
  well with you as that word is coming, it meets a fence of
• 1:03:22
  prophetic words already. No enchantment and no divination
• 1:03:27
  against Joshua Salman shall stand.
• 1:03:29
  Surely they shall gather. But because they are gathering
• 1:03:32
  is not of the Lord, they shall scatter.
• 1:03:34
  They come in one way. They disperse in seven ways.
• 1:03:42
  Apostle. But it looks like the spirit of
• 1:03:46
  death is looking for me. It's not only you He's looking
• 1:03:48
  for all of us. My brother.
• 1:03:50
  It's not only you He's looking for everyone, including those
• 1:03:54
  living long. Don't allow any war.
• 1:03:57
  Just enter your garden and then you see, the Bible says the seed
• 1:04:02
  is the word. Alana Kakosiba, Lakosia, blessed
• 1:04:14
  in the city, blessed in the country, favored of the Lord,
• 1:04:19
  Beulah Hefsiba, the delight of the nations in the name of
• 1:04:24
  Jesus. The hand of the Lord is upon me.
• 1:04:26
  His grace is at work in me. There is a spirit in me.
• 1:04:29
  The inspiration of the Almighty makes me of understanding.
• 1:04:34
  This is the house that the Lord has blessed.
• 1:04:36
  I am planted in the House of God.
• 1:04:38
  Therefore I flourish in the court of my God.
• 1:04:41
  Even in old age I am fat and flourishing.
• 1:04:45
  All my organs are working perfectly.
• 1:04:47
  The Bible says He keepeth his bones and none is missing.
• 1:04:51
  He keepeth his bones. Listen, listen Koinonia, listen
• 1:04:59
  to me. Please listen to me.
• 1:05:02
  The times that we live in right now demand you being serious
• 1:05:06
  with your destiny. If you keep quiet.
• 1:05:09
  You see, when the devil wants to attack you, he knows that there
• 1:05:14
  are evil words already coming. Then he does something to your
• 1:05:17
  prayer life and while you are quiet, you find out that
• 1:05:22
  something is growing in your garden.
• 1:05:24
  Causes pain, trouble. There are arrows that fly by
• 1:05:30
  day. The arrows are not metallic
• 1:05:33
  objects. The arrows are words.
• 1:05:36
  The arrows are words, my brother.
• 1:05:38
  The arrows are not metallic objects.
• 1:05:40
  No. You think the arrow is wood with
• 1:05:43
  a sharp edge? No, the arrows are words.
• 1:05:50
  Let it not be well with him, Let it not be well with her.
• 1:05:54
  Let all her children become armed robbers.
• 1:05:56
  And you stand up and say no way as the mountains surround
• 1:05:59
  Jerusalem. In the name of Jesus, I build a
• 1:06:02
  Garrison around my life. I build a Garrison around this
• 1:06:06
  ministry. 1000 shall fall by my side, 10,000 by my right side
• 1:06:13
  none shall hurt me. With my eyes shall I see and
• 1:06:17
  behold the reward of the wicked. As for me, the Lord is my
• 1:06:20
  inheritance. Do you believe what you're
• 1:06:24
  hearing? The school of prayer.
• 1:06:29
  Please sit down. Please sit down.
• 1:06:34
  Faith filled declarations of Scripture.
• 1:06:38
  Now I must say this, the key to engaging this prayer, this kind
• 1:06:44
  of prayer effectively is a thorough knowledge of the
• 1:06:48
  promises of God. You have to be vast in
• 1:06:52
  understanding Scripture. If you are not a student of the
• 1:06:56
  world, you cannot engage this prayer model because you see,
• 1:06:59
  you can't be checking your Bible, Jeremiah 31 and verse
• 1:07:05
  one. Oh God, I know you need to have
• 1:07:08
  it so that it does not interrupt your peace of prayer.
• 1:07:11
  The word must be hidden in your heart so the moment you begin to
• 1:07:18
  engage for 30 minutes, you are just sending arrows from your
• 1:07:22
  spirit to your destiny. Ever.
• 1:07:24
  And you know, because the Holy Ghost is there helping you, He's
• 1:07:29
  pushing the scriptures. Even the ones you don't know,
• 1:07:31
  you know, is at the point of confession.
• 1:07:33
  They will come out. Do you know if you are not
• 1:07:36
  praying, you may not be able to confess, to speak some of those
• 1:07:38
  scriptures. You can't even remember them.
• 1:07:40
  But the moment you start praying with accuracy, the last time you
• 1:07:44
  read it was five years. But it's like a regurgitation.
• 1:07:47
  It's still there in your spirit. Go and ask preachers.
• 1:07:53
  There are many times when they are off the pulpit they can't
• 1:07:55
  even quote back the scripture they were quoting while they
• 1:07:57
  were on stage. They may forget everything, but
• 1:08:01
  when that clue comes upon them, they will run the Bible like a
• 1:08:04
  computer. It's changing everything #3 very
• 1:08:15
  quickly. The third scriptural model,
• 1:08:20
  according to scripture, the kind of prayer that every believer
• 1:08:24
  can engage in the place of prayer is called the prayer of
• 1:08:26
  inquiry. The prayer of inquiry, First
• 1:08:30
  Samuel chapter 30 and verse 8, the prayer of inquiry.
• 1:08:34
  This is the kind of prayer you pray when you don't know what to
• 1:08:37
  do, when you are in confusion, when you are at a a central
• 1:08:42
  point in your destiny, navigating seasons, ending one
• 1:08:46
  season and beginning another. And David inquired of the Lord,
• 1:08:50
  saying, Shall I pursue after this troop?
• 1:08:54
  Shall I overtake them? I don't want to take a foolish
• 1:08:58
  decision in my destiny. I am a warrior, but I can't take
• 1:09:01
  life for granted. And he answered him, Pursue, for
• 1:09:07
  thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover.
• 1:09:12
  There is such a thing as the prayer of inquiry.
• 1:09:18
  Hallelujah. The secret to engage in this
• 1:09:21
  kind of prayer is patience, patience, patience.
• 1:09:27
  God speaks, but he's not always speaking.
• 1:09:31
  Hear me Koinonia. God speaks, but he's not always
• 1:09:34
  speaking. You were created in his image.
• 1:09:36
  You speak, but you are not always speaking.
• 1:09:39
  Most people think God is a talkative who is just talking
• 1:09:41
  and just tune your radio. You hear him is a lie.
• 1:09:44
  Human beings are not like that. God is not like that.
• 1:09:47
  You would hear the Bible say on the 5th day of the 10th month,
• 1:09:50
  the word of the Lord came. The word of the Lord came.
• 1:09:57
  He says until his word came, the word tried him.
• 1:10:00
  Yours is to be patient. Are we together?
• 1:10:06
  It is the absence of this prayer that has caused pain in the life
• 1:10:10
  of many people. I will tell you why There is a
• 1:10:13
  way that cement right onto a man.
• 1:10:16
  There is a way there is a job that cement right.
• 1:10:20
  Are we together? There is a country that cement
• 1:10:22
  right onto a man. There is a local government that
• 1:10:26
  cement right. There is a state that cement
• 1:10:28
  right. There is a business that cement
• 1:10:30
  right. The Bible says, but the end
• 1:10:33
  thereof are the ways of death. Father, should I pursue?
• 1:10:37
  Should I pursue? This door is open before me, but
• 1:10:40
  should I pursue? I've taught you don't just enter
• 1:10:43
  doors carelessly because they are opened, find out who opened
• 1:10:47
  it and find out where the door is leading to because even the
• 1:10:50
  prison, you enter a prison through a door so that you don't
• 1:10:55
  see a door open and you say thank you Jesus.
• 1:10:57
  You enter and find out that all that are there are walls and you
• 1:11:00
  can't go back again. Prayer of inquiry, Father, all
• 1:11:07
  these anointing you are putting upon my life is it for ministry.
• 1:11:11
  Not just that, people come and say the way you are now.
• 1:11:14
  I'm surprised you are not yet a General Basia.
• 1:11:15
  You say you mean it. Tell me more.
• 1:11:16
  So indeed, everything is on you is written.
• 1:11:21
  General Basia. You now go and open a ministry
• 1:11:27
  and you'll be disappointed. Nothing respects you.
• 1:11:31
  Not men, not spirits, not demons.
• 1:11:36
  And you'll be wondering, oh, God, what am I doing?
• 1:11:38
  After five years of struggle, God will say you've been on your
• 1:11:41
  own. I've been trying to tell you,
• 1:11:43
  but every time you go to pray, you don't allow me to speak.
• 1:11:47
  You speak to me and walk away. As soon as you are done telling
• 1:11:51
  me what you want to say. Amen and you are out.
• 1:11:53
  As you are saying the Amen, you are closing the door.
• 1:11:56
  The prayer of inquiry requires patience #2 The prayer of
• 1:12:01
  inquiry requires silence. When you pray, sometimes you are
• 1:12:07
  still there. You will know the Bible, say be
• 1:12:09
  still and know, be still and know.
• 1:12:13
  There are times to be noisy, to speak with energy, but there are
• 1:12:17
  times. Let me tell you, this is the
• 1:12:20
  reason why you should not be religious.
• 1:12:21
  When you are walking with God, you can go to the place of
• 1:12:24
  prayer and shout for one hour and suddenly a grace comes upon
• 1:12:28
  you and you don't have the energy to shout again.
• 1:12:29
  Don't fight it, sit quietly, something is about to come, but
• 1:12:33
  because we have not been trained, you just feel is this
• 1:12:37
  sleep is not necessarily sleep. In that stillness, His Majesty
• 1:12:42
  comes, a scripture comes, a word comes and instruction comes.
• 1:12:48
  Check a YouTube video and instruction comes.
• 1:12:51
  Check the scripture and instruction comes.
• 1:12:54
  Read this book. Sometimes the instruction can
• 1:12:58
  just come as the name of someone is the name of a salmon, even if
• 1:13:02
  it's a salmon you've listened to before you finish praying for
• 1:13:07
  hours struggling, you rent everything and whilst you are
• 1:13:10
  seated there a testimony you had one day in Kononia just comes to
• 1:13:14
  your spirit is how God speaks. This grace called favor and it
• 1:13:18
  becomes strong upon your heart. God is in listen there.
• 1:13:21
  My voice for you is in that sermon.
• 1:13:24
  Although you were there when it was preached, you did not hear
• 1:13:26
  my voice there. Now you listen to it, you will
• 1:13:29
  hear something. I will tell you that you did not
• 1:13:32
  hear that day. There are many ways God speaks
• 1:13:34
  to us because our hearing are in levels.
• 1:13:40
  Are we together? There are times that people
• 1:13:42
  become too noisy. God cannot even tell them
• 1:13:45
  anything. They finish talking to God and
• 1:13:49
  then they close the door. Their spirits are too noisy.
• 1:13:53
  Even their dream life cannot be an opportunity for God to
• 1:13:57
  minister to them. I have a teaching series of, you
• 1:13:59
  know, supernatural experiences, dreams, visions, trances.
• 1:14:02
  I will teach you, because most of you, that thing you are
• 1:14:05
  calling a dream is an attack. Notice everything you have been
• 1:14:08
  seeing. When you stand up and do it, it
• 1:14:09
  gets you into trouble. Everything you see as an
• 1:14:12
  instruction in the dream, you act upon it.
• 1:14:14
  You either have a problem with police or have a problem with
• 1:14:18
  people. It's an attack.
• 1:14:20
  When God speaks, He speaks peace.
• 1:14:23
  When you get instructions in the realm of the Spirit that
• 1:14:25
  continue to cause you trouble perpetually, you can measure the
• 1:14:29
  voice of God by the peace and progress it brings, which is
• 1:14:33
  what most people don't have. Don't just wake up from a dream
• 1:14:35
  and add everything you saw there.
• 1:14:38
  No, there are rules for both interpreting and acting on
• 1:14:43
  dreams and the central rule is submitting everything to the
• 1:14:46
  word of God. I possible I had a dream.
• 1:14:49
  In the dream I gave somebody my car.
• 1:14:51
  Hold on before you part with your car and now get into
• 1:14:55
  trouble. Don't assume it means God says
• 1:14:57
  you should give the car. We need to measure the spiritual
• 1:15:00
  life of the person who had the dream first to verify what you
• 1:15:03
  had with wise counsel. Make war.
• 1:15:07
  Most people have gotten into trouble today.
• 1:15:10
  Let me tell you this. I hope you are learning the
• 1:15:12
  prayer of inquiry. There are people today who are
• 1:15:15
  believed in lie and they would like they would die believing
• 1:15:18
  that lie. Because the devil manipulated
• 1:15:21
  dreams, manipulated visions, are we together?
• 1:15:24
  And because they do not understand how to engage this
• 1:15:27
  prayer of inquiry, a prayer of inquiry, should I pursue?
• 1:15:35
  Should I overtake someone? Learn to ask God that question.
• 1:15:38
  You don't ask him forever. You can't ask God.
• 1:15:40
  Should I wear a white dress or a black dress?
• 1:15:42
  God, you say no, don't go and listen to say apostles teaching
• 1:15:46
  success systems. And I teach you there how to use
• 1:15:49
  your mind. Are we together?
• 1:15:53
  You can't come and meet God and say, should I wear a yellow shoe
• 1:15:56
  or black shoe? No.
• 1:15:58
  I'm talking of destiny defining decisions.
• 1:16:02
  You want to carry your wife and children out of Nigeria and the
• 1:16:05
  only thing that becomes a green light is visa stamped on your
• 1:16:09
  your passport. That's a risk.
• 1:16:12
  That's a risk. What if the destiny help us of
• 1:16:15
  your children are close to you? You need to find out.
• 1:16:18
  Lord, should I pursue? When Satan wants to stop you
• 1:16:21
  from hearing the voice of God, he will surround you with good
• 1:16:24
  things so that you would think that every good thing there is
• 1:16:28
  just God and you will act upon good things till they destroy
• 1:16:31
  you. It's not only evil Satan uses to
• 1:16:33
  destroy people. When he tests you with evil and
• 1:16:36
  he sees you are sensitive, you will bring good.
• 1:16:39
  The most important thing is that he's interested in your
• 1:16:41
  destruction either with evil or good.
• 1:16:48
  Hallelujah for someone you are at a very prophetic season of
• 1:16:52
  your life. There are a number of areas in
• 1:16:55
  people's lives where you have to take time to dig.
• 1:16:58
  Matters of marriage, children, matters look at me.
• 1:17:04
  Matters of finances, matters of job and career.
• 1:17:09
  Are we together? Matters of where you will stay,
• 1:17:12
  what you will be doing, the kind of call your assignment, these
• 1:17:16
  major areas. Oh, you must pray, you must
• 1:17:19
  pray, you must pray. Lie down and roll from left to
• 1:17:22
  right and say, if others speak, speak, oh, speak, speak.
• 1:17:27
  Am I an evangelist or I'm a pastor?
• 1:17:30
  This one prophesied that I'm an evangelist.
• 1:17:32
  Next tomorrow they said I'm a pastor.
• 1:17:35
  Be careful. This one said my wife is yellow.
• 1:17:39
  This other one said my wife is black.
• 1:17:41
  Oh, my wife is short, my wife is tall.
• 1:17:43
  Very soon you'll be like Solomon.
• 1:17:45
  You will marry 1700 wives and and how many 300 concubines, all
• 1:17:51
  in the name of prophecy. And they don't have to be fake.
• 1:17:54
  We seem part. So you go to God and cry your
• 1:17:58
  heart out. Open my eyes.
• 1:18:00
  Oh God, are we together? This job gives me 200,000.
• 1:18:04
  This one gives me 150,000. But common sense said I should
• 1:18:09
  go here and you miss a season. Let me tell you, not every
• 1:18:14
  season is easily recoverable. I can tell you that.
• 1:18:19
  Are we together? Don't be jealous and think some
• 1:18:21
  seasons and now please don't, don't be offended.
• 1:18:25
  And I'm not here to forgive me. For instance, missing it out in
• 1:18:30
  things like marriage is not easy.
• 1:18:32
  You will not be without scars. You get what I'm saying now God
• 1:18:36
  tells you three children, you say no.
• 1:18:38
  I know I'm going to give back to seven and the remaining 4 cause
• 1:18:42
  headache for you. You almost want to kill them
• 1:18:44
  yourself because God told you his recommendation, but he will
• 1:18:47
  never force you. I know what I'm saying is funny,
• 1:18:50
  but listen carefully to what I'm telling you.
• 1:18:52
  Take out time and pray. Take out time and pray Koinonia.
• 1:18:57
  Take out time and pray sensitive things in your life.
• 1:19:01
  Parents, which school should my child go to?
• 1:19:04
  Don't just say this school is a nice school.
• 1:19:06
  They will go and learn something that becomes the reason why they
• 1:19:10
  become a pain to your heart. Are we together Lord?
• 1:19:18
  Who should be the closest friend to me?
• 1:19:20
  Not I like this person. Person is just nice and before
• 1:19:23
  you know it, you draw demons, familiar spirits and all kinds
• 1:19:27
  of courses to your destiny. The implication of friendship is
• 1:19:31
  that there is a sharing of spirits.
• 1:19:33
  Let me tell you, associations have prophetic implications.
• 1:19:38
  If you don't believe me, save Johnny.
• 1:19:40
  I will be here to correct you in the future.
• 1:19:41
  Again, very destiny implicating consequences.
• 1:19:49
  If Jonah is in your boat, you will lose your goods.
• 1:19:52
  Even if you're a hard working businessman, you will almost
• 1:19:55
  lose your life till you throw him out.
• 1:19:57
  But if Jesus is in your boat, don't worry.
• 1:20:00
  Even if the storm rocks your boat, your confidence is that
• 1:20:04
  Jesus is in your boat. When Lot left Abraham, he was
• 1:20:09
  not unrighteous, but he still suffered.
• 1:20:14
  Is someone learning now? You don't like what I'm saying,
• 1:20:17
  like you to like it. Seriously, I'm teaching you.
• 1:20:21
  This is a school of prayer. Please go and write down some
• 1:20:24
  major areas in your life and flog it out.
• 1:20:28
  You need to fast. Fast.
• 1:20:29
  You will not die. Lord help me.
• 1:20:32
  I've been seeing America in my vision.
• 1:20:34
  What does that mean? It does not mean go to America.
• 1:20:37
  It can mean your help eyes in America or it can mean intercede
• 1:20:41
  for America. You can go to get a visa and for
• 1:20:46
  10 years your life refused to move forward because based on
• 1:20:51
  what you saw, truly you had the dream.
• 1:20:54
  You saw America and you assume you gave it an interpretation
• 1:20:58
  from the flesh. Colonia is quiet.
• 1:21:05
  Pray, pray as a husband, hold the hand of your wife and pray.
• 1:21:11
  We are fasting today, Lord, what is the next step?
• 1:21:14
  Even in ministry. Don't assume you've heard my
• 1:21:17
  story. For three years, I struggled
• 1:21:20
  with God to leave Zaria and come to Abuja.
• 1:21:22
  I didn't want to. I mean, God had glorified
• 1:21:25
  himself greatly in Zaria. People were literally coming
• 1:21:29
  from all over the world. Can you imagine, in spite of the
• 1:21:31
  security situation, I mean, it was at a point in ministry you
• 1:21:35
  would say you had seen the grace of God.
• 1:21:37
  What is Abuja again? And you go to pray three days
• 1:21:43
  before the inaugural service in Abuja here.
• 1:21:46
  I still went to God in prayer and fasting.
• 1:21:48
  Lord, if for any reason I'm human, if it is my carnal mind,
• 1:21:52
  I vow unto you that I will close that inaugural service.
• 1:21:56
  And I meant it, I meant it. I will tell you something.
• 1:22:02
  I wanted to leave that to announce it at the end of the
• 1:22:05
  service, but I'll say it here. I had a meeting with the leaders
• 1:22:08
  and we're having to shift and suspend our November conference.
• 1:22:13
  We'll have to shift it to next year.
• 1:22:14
  I'll tell you what happened when I announced that, it was already
• 1:22:18
  on the plan. I think 2 weeks or three weeks
• 1:22:21
  ago, before Sound of revival, I started having an unrest in my
• 1:22:26
  spirit. And the unrest was not for the
• 1:22:29
  other. It was for the November
• 1:22:30
  conference. I just felt like something
• 1:22:34
  wasn't right. I went to God, I prayed, I
• 1:22:38
  fasted and that that that that that's what they call it lack of
• 1:22:44
  peace, cessation of peace. I took out time to pray and then
• 1:22:49
  that was when in the place of prayer, the Lord began to tell
• 1:22:51
  me that no, I should shift the November conference and I said
• 1:22:55
  this is your ministry, this is your whatever it is.
• 1:22:58
  I called the leaders immediately.
• 1:22:59
  I told them gentlemen were shifting November conference and
• 1:23:04
  all of that after sound of revival, whatever November
• 1:23:08
  conference here, we shifted till the time God allows.
• 1:23:11
  As simple as that. The prayer.
• 1:23:13
  Of. Inquiry.
• 1:23:16
  I'm saying this so that you would.
• 1:23:18
  I'm not teaching you what I'm not practicing for someone.
• 1:23:22
  You can have five wins, but the 6th one will cancel all 5
• 1:23:27
  because the 6th 1 was scheduled sometimes, not necessarily by
• 1:23:31
  Satan. Because you need two things, the
• 1:23:34
  word of the Lord and the timing for its manifestation.
• 1:23:38
  If you have a word from God alone, without the timing, you
• 1:23:42
  will still fail because the power comes at the time at the
• 1:23:46
  time. Hallelujah.
• 1:23:51
  Are we together now? Isn't it a mystery?
• 1:23:54
  Which ministry do you know, ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen,
• 1:23:58
  that has not hosted its own conference within its space and
• 1:24:03
  yet is holding conferences around the world, parking
• 1:24:06
  stadiums and places? It is against the natural
• 1:24:09
  sequence of how ministry is done.
• 1:24:10
  I'm not in ignorance. I've read books.
• 1:24:13
  I've sat under intelligent people.
• 1:24:17
  This is a way of the Spirit. The very first conference
• 1:24:21
  Colonia organized was in Manchester.
• 1:24:23
  Go and read any Bible school of ministry book.
• 1:24:26
  It is foolishness of the highest order.
• 1:24:28
  You don't get up and organize your first conference to be an
• 1:24:31
  international conference, then the largest indoor arena in the
• 1:24:36
  United Kingdom. So don't be angry when sometimes
• 1:24:40
  people don't understand you is the way of the Spirit.
• 1:24:43
  But you see if it is God, He will always sign on it.
• 1:24:47
  You will see the signature of God upon it is someone learning
• 1:24:50
  Now I'm saying this so that don't become too conventional
• 1:24:54
  with your life that you crash down.
• 1:24:55
  You are special. There is a way God is walking
• 1:24:58
  with you and you must respect his dealings with your life.
• 1:25:02
  I don't know who came to church to hear God tonight, but hear
• 1:25:04
  him or hear him through these words you are receiving the
• 1:25:08
  prayer of inquiry. Someone praying one minute and
• 1:25:13
  say Lord guide my steps, order my steps take a minute to pray,
• 1:25:19
  order my steps. I'm at a pivotal point.
• 1:25:22
  Those outside are you praying Shanimala supraka tausiyata all
• 1:25:26
  the overflows. I am at a critical point in my
• 1:25:29
  life. No assumptions.
• 1:25:32
  The mistake of great men is assuming that God is always with
• 1:25:37
  what they are doing. Just because you succeeded
• 1:25:40
  yesterday in ministry, in life, in family, does not mean that
• 1:25:46
  you can invent any strategy and then succeed.
• 1:25:49
  You must be malleable to the voice of the Spirit per time,
• 1:25:53
  per season. Otherwise you will crash land no
• 1:25:56
  matter how mighty you are. Nobody is too big to fall.
• 1:26:01
  Nobody is too big to fail. Nobody is too big to crash land.
• 1:26:06
  If you cannot inquire from the Lord and know what to do per
• 1:26:10
  major season of your life, I tell you, you can crash land in
• 1:26:14
  a way that will look like you never rose up.
• 1:26:16
  Someone pray in one minute. Order my steps speak to me.
• 1:26:20
  I am not a rebel. My heart is malleable.
• 1:26:22
  Speak to me. Go ahead and pray.
• 1:26:30
  How can you walk when you don't know the way of the wind?
• 1:26:38
  How can you run when you don't know the way of the Spirit?
• 1:26:45
  How can you fly when you don't know the way of the wind?
• 1:26:50
  His power at work in you. Changing everything in obedience
• 1:26:57
  to class. Recreating everything in
• 1:27:04
  obedience to class. Directing everything.
• 1:27:14
  Hallelujah, let's hurry up. So #1 prayer model, praying in
• 1:27:20
  the Spirit You're filling the Holy Spirit.
• 1:27:24
  You engage with faith in your heart.
• 1:27:26
  Number. 2 The faith filled declarations of scripture, the
• 1:27:30
  requirement you must be full of the word #3 the prayer of
• 1:27:35
  inquiry. The key here is patience.
• 1:27:39
  You must be patient with God. His word comes, it will not come
• 1:27:43
  when you want, but it will come. My soul went down upon the Lord
• 1:27:49
  #4 The second prayer, the 4th prayer model revealed from
• 1:27:53
  Scripture is called warfare prayer, Warfare prayer, warfare
• 1:28:00
  prayer, warfare prayer, Philippians 119 warfare prayer.
• 1:28:06
  This is the realm of warfare and prophetic intercession.
• 1:28:11
  For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your
• 1:28:17
  prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus.
• 1:28:21
  I know that this shall turn the prayer of deliverance, the
• 1:28:26
  prayer that overturns things. This is the kind of prayer you
• 1:28:30
  pray when it looks like the devil has scheduled seasons of
• 1:28:33
  attacks. When seasons of attacks come to
• 1:28:37
  your life, you engage warfare prayers that is true for you and
• 1:28:42
  can be true for your loved ones. Warfare, prayer, engaging the
• 1:28:48
  mystery of the blood, breaking legal strongholds and covenants,
• 1:28:53
  warding of activities of familiar spirits that manipulate
• 1:28:56
  man, manipulate systems and structures to work against you
• 1:29:01
  as touching the purposes of God. It's in the place of prayer.
• 1:29:04
  You deal with this spirit, deal with yokes, deal with curses,
• 1:29:08
  deal with the ministry of wicked and unreasonable men.
• 1:29:12
  For not all men not do not have faith.
• 1:29:15
  There are men that are coming to work in partnership with Satan
• 1:29:19
  concerning your life. They vowed that provided you are
• 1:29:22
  in this office, you must die. They don't just want you to lose
• 1:29:25
  your job. They don't mind you dying.
• 1:29:27
  Just because you are kind does not mean everybody is kind.
• 1:29:30
  There are people whose hearts have been seared with iron.
• 1:29:33
  They will watch your dead body and still thank God for it.
• 1:29:39
  Hell, I hope you believe that you don't know how evil the
• 1:29:42
  heart of man is. The Bible says the heart of man
• 1:29:45
  is desperately wicked. Wicked someone schedules your
• 1:29:51
  downfall and comes to stand together with those who are
• 1:29:54
  mourning it and say you mean it. Who is this wicked person who
• 1:29:57
  did this? I pray for you.
• 1:30:00
  Anybody digging a pit this night, may they fall inside that
• 1:30:03
  pit. Anybody coming against your
• 1:30:08
  destiny, in the spirit of Haman, already in the palace, but
• 1:30:12
  digging for your downfall, in the name of Jesus, I pray this
• 1:30:16
  prayer for you, this warfare prayer.
• 1:30:18
  They will fall into their pit by themselves.
• 1:30:24
  Sit down, sit down. I once had a story, It was a
• 1:30:29
  story that I saw online many years ago, that somebody threw
• 1:30:34
  another person's neighbor inside the well.
• 1:30:37
  Maybe, I'm sure maybe some of you may have had the story,
• 1:30:40
  threw another person's neighbor out of envy inside the well.
• 1:30:44
  And the little child died there. And by morning the woman came
• 1:30:47
  up, was crying. Everybody went to fetch water
• 1:30:50
  and they found the child there and the woman who was part of
• 1:30:53
  that enjoying the people in mourning until upon
• 1:30:57
  investigation, they found out what happened.
• 1:31:00
  Oh, this woman has been treating me back out of anger,
• 1:31:04
  wickedness. It's not a natural thing in the
• 1:31:07
  heart of man is the is what happens when spirits possess
• 1:31:10
  men. They can do things that they
• 1:31:13
  themselves later would say who did this thing like that?
• 1:31:17
  Spirits for you. That's why it's important for
• 1:31:20
  people to be born again. Your husband can turn and act
• 1:31:23
  like a beast and while he's beating you, pounding you,
• 1:31:27
  beating you with the pregnancy and the child you are looking is
• 1:31:30
  this it can't be him. That's not the man you married.
• 1:31:34
  That's another spirit there. And then later on you counsel
• 1:31:37
  him and he says I'm sorry. Then he does it again.
• 1:31:39
  You better bring him for Koinonia.
• 1:31:41
  Bring him to Koinonia quickly. Let.
• 1:31:49
  Me. Balance it.
• 1:31:50
  What of your wife, too? You come into the kitchen and
• 1:31:55
  you see us sitting and folding her arms.
• 1:31:56
  Where's my food? Which food?
• 1:31:58
  You talk to me. I will beat you here.
• 1:32:00
  And you will see a woman with the strength of 10 men beat you
• 1:32:06
  and drag you. As masculine as you are.
• 1:32:08
  Spirits for you. This is one of the reasons why
• 1:32:16
  God raised also to be instruments of help and mercy.
• 1:32:20
  Some of you when you came here, you didn't even know the variety
• 1:32:23
  of spirits you carried, anger, jealousy, pain, all kinds of
• 1:32:29
  things. And whilst you are seated, some
• 1:32:32
  of those shouts, you shouts, some of those falling.
• 1:32:33
  You don't know what is living. It's until you go back and see
• 1:32:37
  that you are back to your right mind that anger is no longer
• 1:32:39
  there. Your grandfather was an angry
• 1:32:42
  man. Your father was an angry man.
• 1:32:44
  Now, as a young man, you have beat your elder ones, you have
• 1:32:47
  beat your parents, you have beat your pastor, you have beat your
• 1:32:50
  classmates. It's a spirit, that kind of
• 1:32:55
  person. If it's not delivered, I assure
• 1:32:57
  you, you end up in jail. Parents, let me tell you
• 1:33:03
  something. When you see your child's
• 1:33:06
  behavior beyond the threshold that discipline can afford,
• 1:33:09
  bring them to church. I'm telling you, just bring
• 1:33:12
  them. I know what to do with them.
• 1:33:13
  Bring them to church. It takes the power of God.
• 1:33:16
  You can correct when the Spirit leaves, doing a rehabilitation
• 1:33:20
  when the Spirit is still there. It's a waste of time.
• 1:33:23
  Take it from me. Oh, don't smoke again.
• 1:33:26
  Don't behave. Greet elders and the child says
• 1:33:28
  all right. And you say, say after me, I'm a
• 1:33:30
  good boy now. I'm a good boy now.
• 1:33:32
  The junior loves mommy and all those things.
• 1:33:35
  As soon as you are done by evening, they call you from the
• 1:33:39
  police station to come and carry your child again.
• 1:33:41
  It's a spirit. I know you are laughing, but I
• 1:33:44
  hope you get what I'm saying. Many people are under the
• 1:33:47
  influence of spirits. They will not admit it, but it
• 1:33:50
  is true. There are behaviors that are
• 1:33:54
  beyond human behaviors. Human beings cannot be that
• 1:33:58
  wicked, that jealous, that wicked.
• 1:34:01
  And one way Satan keeps you oppressed is making you live in
• 1:34:04
  denial. He said no, no, my anger is just
• 1:34:08
  is just once in a while. It's just that it's a thing in
• 1:34:10
  our family. I say it again, if there is
• 1:34:15
  anything that is not of the Christ any spirit influence
• 1:34:20
  around your life. I don't care whether you are a
• 1:34:22
  man of God. You are a ministry you are
• 1:34:24
  whatever I pray for you. If there is any influence
• 1:34:28
  producing manifestations that are not of the Christ tying down
• 1:34:32
  your life down in the name of Jesus be delivered now, be
• 1:34:38
  delivered now. Are we together?
• 1:34:42
  Warfare, spirits that cost all kinds of things.
• 1:34:46
  A beautiful lady, but nobody can ever come and say, let me go and
• 1:34:50
  see your parents and you are wondering, you are modest, you
• 1:34:53
  are decent, you love God. Are we together now?
• 1:34:57
  The day anybody comes to say ah, this lady, where are your
• 1:34:59
  parents? The next day you hear the person
• 1:35:01
  is dead and you think it's normal.
• 1:35:03
  It happened to 4-5 people. Please open up your heart and
• 1:35:07
  cry. Anything that came with my
• 1:35:09
  background and my foundation that wants to follow me and ruin
• 1:35:12
  my life, I come by the blood. That's how you pray warfare,
• 1:35:16
  prayer in the name of Jesus. I may have come from a family of
• 1:35:19
  idol worship, but the Bible says I've been called out of every
• 1:35:22
  tribe and every tongue and every nation.
• 1:35:25
  The consequences of the sacrifices of yesteryears cannot
• 1:35:29
  be part of my life. I consciously I cut myself away.
• 1:35:36
  Families where men are fed by women, they never rise to a
• 1:35:41
  point. If you like her PhD is your wife
• 1:35:43
  that feeds you is in your wife's house you stay or in her parents
• 1:35:47
  house you stay. My brother is not so God
• 1:35:50
  establishes men. I hope you know spirits don't
• 1:35:54
  get tired. Don't think because you've been
• 1:35:56
  in your life since you were two years and now you are 35, you
• 1:35:59
  are tired. You are the only one who is
• 1:36:00
  tired. Those spirits are still
• 1:36:02
  energetic. They can stay through your
• 1:36:03
  lifetime except when power comes, some of you may need to
• 1:36:09
  take the responsibility. The victory that is in Christ is
• 1:36:12
  real, but it does not come upon you without you engaging it.
• 1:36:16
  For the same reason that I stated when I started, you have
• 1:36:19
  a will. God cannot assume you are tired
• 1:36:22
  of it. You must verbalize it in prayer
• 1:36:25
  and appropriate it in prayer. I have met preachers who love
• 1:36:32
  God with integrity and character, but they will never
• 1:36:36
  admit that the reason their ministries are stunted is
• 1:36:39
  because there are strange powers that sit upon their destinies.
• 1:36:44
  They will argue it to their detriment.
• 1:36:47
  Individuals have spirits assigned to them.
• 1:36:51
  Regions have spirits assigned to them.
• 1:36:54
  That's why you see repetition of patterns according to regions.
• 1:36:58
  Irresponsibility, anger, laziness, are we together?
• 1:37:03
  All these kinds of things. I don't want you to feel
• 1:37:05
  condemned and I don't want you to feel sad.
• 1:37:07
  I know a family where all of them are hard working, that the
• 1:37:12
  men are diligent, they start businesses.
• 1:37:14
  You don't feel when you start. You only rise up to a point
• 1:37:18
  where you want to sit down, to be celebrated.
• 1:37:20
  Something happens and you must go down.
• 1:37:23
  Go to Europe, the Spirit follows you there.
• 1:37:25
  Go to America, it follows you there because wickedness is all
• 1:37:28
  over the world. I'm praying for someone again.
• 1:37:30
  I don't know what pattern you have observed.
• 1:37:33
  Maybe your loved ones have not observed it, but as a Christian
• 1:37:36
  with maturity, you have seen that this pattern of untimely
• 1:37:39
  death. Maybe people die early, the men
• 1:37:42
  die early, the women die early, the men struggle, they love
• 1:37:46
  Jesus or something happens. They never have children in
• 1:37:49
  their matrimonial home. They only have children outside
• 1:37:52
  of wedlock before they get get married.
• 1:37:54
  Everybody don't feel condemned. I'm helping you.
• 1:37:58
  A woman with five children from 5 different men is a spirit.
• 1:38:02
  It doesn't mean the person is bad.
• 1:38:04
  Some of them can be the most sincere people.
• 1:38:06
  Grandmother raped by someone. Mother raped by someone.
• 1:38:10
  The daughter raped by someone in the name of Jesus.
• 1:38:13
  Any pattern around your life that will not let you go.
• 1:38:16
  It has tied you down. You are called but is refusing
• 1:38:19
  to allow your Bishop. Refined expression.
• 1:38:21
  I curse it tonight by the blood. I cause it tonight by the blood.
• 1:38:27
  I cause it tonight by the blood. I cause it tonight by the blood.
• 1:38:30
  I cause it tonight by the blood. I cause it tonight by the blood.
• 1:38:34
  I cause it tonight by the blood. I cause it tonight by the blood.
• 1:38:40
  Every pattern of untimely death around anyone here.
• 1:38:44
  You have seen your loved ones die and that thing you know is
• 1:38:47
  still in the family. You see it in your dreams, you
• 1:38:50
  go to bed and you see dead people coming.
• 1:38:53
  What is your business with those who have died?
• 1:38:55
  I say it again, be delivered from that influence.
• 1:39:04
  How about those? Their good is always evil spoken
• 1:39:06
  of. They are always
• 1:39:08
  well-intentioned, but everybody suspects them.
• 1:39:12
  Everybody a good woman. You cook and everybody say you
• 1:39:15
  want to kill someone and your heart is sincere.
• 1:39:18
  There is a spirit that makes the good of a man become evil.
• 1:39:21
  I pray for you. Every veil on your face that
• 1:39:24
  misrepresents you. When Satan wants to destroy
• 1:39:27
  people, he uses your face in their dreams.
• 1:39:30
  They wake up seeing you and they think you are a witch.
• 1:39:32
  I decree and declare. May that operation of darkness
• 1:39:36
  come to an end now. Please be seated.
• 1:39:50
  Warfare prayers. There are people today who have
• 1:39:56
  been hated by literally nations. Hated all across.
• 1:40:03
  You know why? Because someone goes to bed and
• 1:40:06
  the devil uses their face. And they wake up saying, so this
• 1:40:10
  woman wants to press me and kill me, so this man wants to kill
• 1:40:14
  me. Whereas that is one of the most
• 1:40:15
  sincere people. They come to the office and the
• 1:40:18
  man says, good afternoon, say no, you are leaving my office
• 1:40:21
  today. What did I do, Sir?
• 1:40:22
  The man cannot say. And sometimes, with all due
• 1:40:25
  respect, this is where we men of God must learn how to walk in
• 1:40:29
  the Spirit so that you don't just misinterpret prophetic
• 1:40:32
  things when such a person comes to meet you as a man of God.
• 1:40:35
  And say, I had a dream. I saw the face of this woman and
• 1:40:38
  she was pressing me. You now seal it and say, ah,
• 1:40:42
  that's truly a witch. You imagine what happens if you
• 1:40:46
  come to church and the woman is sitting by your side.
• 1:40:49
  They say, praise the Lord, she's praying.
• 1:40:51
  You say, ah, this prayer, you are a witch, you would die here.
• 1:40:56
  There are so many people carrying foolish illusions in
• 1:41:00
  their minds, drama. Only their mind is acting.
• 1:41:04
  Are we together? They have a list of people they
• 1:41:07
  believe are witches, a list of others they believe are Wizards,
• 1:41:10
  and they literally live their entire life in a war like
• 1:41:14
  computer game. In their minds, an illusion, the
• 1:41:19
  Bible calls it cunningly devised fables.
• 1:41:26
  Are we together? There are great friends who have
• 1:41:31
  been destroyed by these spirits. Destroyed by these spirits.
• 1:41:37
  You just have a dream. And in the dream the devil
• 1:41:40
  manipulates the faces of people who are some of the greatest
• 1:41:43
  gifts in your life. And you see them and wake up and
• 1:41:46
  say, no, It doesn't mean when you see the face of someone, it
• 1:41:49
  automatically means that person is destroying you.
• 1:41:52
  You need to discern. Sometimes it's the deception of
• 1:41:55
  Satan. Are we together?
• 1:41:57
  What then happens to a man who lies on the same bed with his
• 1:42:00
  wife and wakes up in the night and in a dream, the wife is
• 1:42:04
  pressing him. And then by morning she says,
• 1:42:07
  honey, good morning. Mine says good morning.
• 1:42:09
  I've had you. And from that day, trouble that
• 1:42:13
  counseling cannot solve because a man cannot say, I think my
• 1:42:16
  wife is a witch. Your food is served.
• 1:42:19
  It's OK. I bought my own from restaurant.
• 1:42:21
  I just want a change of e-mail. And they start lying and
• 1:42:24
  dribbling the wife like that. But the real problem is that
• 1:42:27
  they saw a vision and it was Satan that created that
• 1:42:31
  manipulation. And sometimes if you are not
• 1:42:35
  careful, they come to us men of God and we say, you know the
• 1:42:37
  solution. Go and read the book of Jonah.
• 1:42:40
  Whatever happened to Jonah? Let that be what happens here.
• 1:42:43
  You see, you have you have exempted yourself from trouble.
• 1:42:45
  You didn't say anything, but you said everything.
• 1:42:51
  May you never fall into the hand of on serious people.
• 1:42:55
  With all due respect, that also includes ministers of the
• 1:42:57
  gospel. May you not fall into the hand
• 1:42:59
  of ignorant preachers. Nobody deceive and confuse and
• 1:43:04
  waste your life and ton make a caricature out of your Christian
• 1:43:08
  experience because of ignorance. And if there's anybody here,
• 1:43:11
  you've been swayed around. A battlefield was created as a
• 1:43:15
  result of ignorance. May knowledge bring you
• 1:43:17
  stability in Jesus name. I pray #4 the 4th prayer model.
• 1:43:26
  And then we'll stop. Ah, number what?
• 1:43:33
  Number one was what? Number two, number three, number
• 1:43:41
  four. OK #5 the prayer of
• 1:43:45
  Thanksgiving. The prayer of Thanksgiving.
• 1:43:49
  Colossians 4242. Let's hurry up.
• 1:43:53
  Colossians 42 continuing prayer and watch in the same with
• 1:43:59
  Thanksgiving continue in prayer and watch in the same with
• 1:44:04
  Thanksgiving. Philippians 4 number six, the
• 1:44:07
  answers for nothing but in everything by prayer and
• 1:44:10
  supplication, we Thanksgiving we Thanksgiving.
• 1:44:15
  Let your request be made known. You know what it means to pray
• 1:44:18
  the prayer of Thanksgiving. It means it's it's a
• 1:44:21
  manifestation of faith where you begin to thank God in advance.
• 1:44:26
  So everything that you want to ask, you ask it as if it's
• 1:44:30
  already given. Father, I thank you in the name
• 1:44:33
  of Jesus because my day is blessed.
• 1:44:35
  Is someone learning now? I thank you because my going out
• 1:44:37
  is blessed. I thank you because my coming in
• 1:44:40
  is blessed. In the name of Jesus, I thank
• 1:44:42
  you for my friends. I thank you for my children.
• 1:44:45
  I thank you for my business. I thank you for my office.
• 1:44:47
  Someone talk to me. I thank you for everything you
• 1:44:50
  are doing around my life. I decree and declare that
• 1:44:53
  Thanksgiving, the voice of melody and Thanksgiving will not
• 1:44:56
  depart from me. Thanksgiving.
• 1:44:59
  Thanksgiving is very powerful. A man of God says Thanksgiving
• 1:45:02
  is an application for more. How true.
• 1:45:04
  Thanksgiving. Someone say thank you Jesus.
• 1:45:07
  One more time, say thank you, Jesus.
• 1:45:10
  Learn to declare prayers with Thanksgiving.
• 1:45:12
  In fact, it is a very worthy model to end your prayers with
• 1:45:16
  Thanksgiving. Father, I thank you because I
• 1:45:18
  know that you've heard me. In John Chapter 11, when Jesus
• 1:45:22
  was at the grave, the tomb of Lazarus, you would think you
• 1:45:25
  would cry and say, oh, this and that.
• 1:45:27
  After he was done crying, he thanked the Lord.
• 1:45:30
  He said, Father, I thank you, John 11 because you always hear
• 1:45:33
  me. I thank you, I thank you, I
• 1:45:36
  thank you. That was the kind of prayer that
• 1:45:39
  Jesus used. You notice Jesus use prayer #5
• 1:45:43
  and then prayer #2 that's what brought Lazarus out.
• 1:45:46
  Prayer model #5 Thanksgiving and then #2 declarations, Lazarus
• 1:45:51
  come forth. So we see these prayer models
• 1:45:54
  even in the life of Jesus himself.
• 1:45:56
  He said, Father, I thank you. You would not go before a tomb
• 1:45:59
  and be saying thank you when you get there.
• 1:46:02
  The usual question, human question is why Lord?
• 1:46:06
  But he never made any inquiry prayer there.
• 1:46:08
  He just said, Father, I thank you because you always hear me.
• 1:46:12
  Same thing happened when he was going to multiply 5 loaf and two
• 1:46:15
  fish. The Bible says he lifted it up
• 1:46:17
  and he gave thanks and he gave the disciples.
• 1:46:20
  He said go and distribute it. I'm praying for someone.
• 1:46:23
  May you be thankful even in your prayer.
• 1:46:26
  Now let me tell you, this Thanksgiving, this prayer
• 1:46:30
  demands a lot of thoughtfulness. You want to pray the prayer of
• 1:46:34
  Thanksgiving. You must learn to count your
• 1:46:36
  blessings. You must learn to see the good
• 1:46:39
  that God has done in your life beyond the things you are
• 1:46:42
  expecting God for. Usually Thanksgiving starts from
• 1:46:46
  the things He has done past, and then you now connect to the
• 1:46:49
  things you hope and trust that He does in the present and the
• 1:46:52
  future. Are we together?
• 1:46:54
  Father, thank you because You are my God.
• 1:46:57
  Thank you for giving me a job. Not oh God, you know the salary.
• 1:47:01
  They slashed our salary. Now is it that you are not seen?
• 1:47:03
  No pray of Thanksgiving. You find every good thing you
• 1:47:07
  know that God has done and you acknowledge it and thank him.
• 1:47:12
  Thank you. Yes, the husband is not still
• 1:47:17
  behaving well, but thank God you have a husband.
• 1:47:20
  Yes, the children are not yet in school, but thank God you have
• 1:47:23
  them. Father, I give you thanks, I
• 1:47:25
  bless you, I bless you. You can turn it into a song.
• 1:47:29
  You can turn it into worship. Thanksgiving is powerful.
• 1:47:32
  Someone say thank you. Jesus, you are trusting God for
• 1:47:35
  a job, but don't forget your eyes are seeing, your ears are
• 1:47:38
  hearing, your hands can walk, your feet can walk.
• 1:47:41
  If you are grounded and they tell you you have stage 4
• 1:47:44
  cancer, at that point it's not a job you will pray for again.
• 1:47:46
  You will be gasping for life. Someone in the hospital who had
• 1:47:49
  a job but did not have health. Now you have health, but you
• 1:47:52
  don't have a job, so you thank God.
• 1:47:55
  The prayer of Thanksgiving demands that you become
• 1:47:58
  designing and thoughtful. Thank God I've not gotten a
• 1:48:02
  contract, but at least I have a company that is functional and I
• 1:48:06
  know God will do it. Father, thank you because I know
• 1:48:09
  you have gone ahead of me. I thank you because I know that
• 1:48:12
  there are benefits that you have given to me.
• 1:48:14
  I may not see the wind, I may not see the rain, but I thank
• 1:48:17
  you because my band shall be filled with plenty.
• 1:48:20
  I give you all the praise. This is how to pray, the prayer
• 1:48:22
  of Thanksgiving. It is powerful when it is
• 1:48:25
  healing. When you thank God because it
• 1:48:27
  does something to you, you take your mind away from what has not
• 1:48:32
  been done to what God is doing. You know, it's a human thing to
• 1:48:37
  always see what God has not done.
• 1:48:41
  God, you gave me tea, but there's no bread, there's no
• 1:48:44
  butter. And God says focus on the tea
• 1:48:46
  and thank me. And while you are thanking him,
• 1:48:48
  you will turn around and see that there's bread, there's
• 1:48:50
  butter, and there's even a bakery.
• 1:48:53
  God for you. Thanksgiving attracts.
• 1:48:55
  It attracts more of what you are thanking God for.
• 1:48:58
  It attracts them more of God. One way to ask God for things is
• 1:49:02
  to give thanks for what he's given someone.
• 1:49:05
  Again, say thank you Jesus. One more time, say thank you
• 1:49:08
  Jesus. I'm going to jump one and head
• 1:49:14
  straight to the final discussion.
• 1:49:16
  There was a particular subtopic that I wanted us to look at, but
• 1:49:20
  forgive me, I have to jump that I want to go straight to how God
• 1:49:24
  answers prayers very quickly. How God answers prayers.
• 1:49:30
  How God answers prayers. We need to know how prayers
• 1:49:35
  manifest. The Bible assures us according
• 1:49:38
  to Mark 11 and verse 24, that whatsoever things we desire when
• 1:49:47
  we pray, we should believe we will receive it.
• 1:49:50
  And the Bible assures us that we will have it.
• 1:49:53
  In Matthew 7, seven, and eight the Bible says ask can, you
• 1:49:56
  shall receive. Verse 8 says for everyone that
• 1:49:59
  ask it, receive it. So if the Bible has this kind of
• 1:50:03
  assurance, it then means when we pray, we have an assurance.
• 1:50:08
  What I wanted to teach us, unfortunately, was how to pray a
• 1:50:12
  fervent and effectual prayer, how to pray with passion and how
• 1:50:16
  to pray what compliant prayer, how to pray according to the
• 1:50:20
  will of God. A very important point, but
• 1:50:23
  we'll have to jump it for now. We'll look at it another time,
• 1:50:26
  but refer to my message Effective prayer dynamics,
• 1:50:32
  effective prayer dynamics, Effective prayer dynamics.
• 1:50:36
  There I teach on the subject that I just skipped now.
• 1:50:39
  Effective prayer dynamics. You can get that on Colonia
• 1:50:44
  Global. God bless you.
• 1:50:45
  So how does God answer prayers? The Bible says unto thee, that
• 1:50:49
  answers prayers shall all flesh. Come there are essentially three
• 1:50:53
  ways. Please listen answers to prayer
• 1:50:57
  manifest using 3 platforms. There are three platforms
• 1:51:02
  essentially for the manifestations of answered
• 1:51:05
  prayer. So I know by faith that God has
• 1:51:08
  answered my prayer, the prayer for anything whatsoever.
• 1:51:11
  But how do I receive it physically?
• 1:51:14
  This is what I want to teach you now.
• 1:51:16
  Number one, the first platform for answered prayers is called
• 1:51:23
  Supernatural Manifestations. Supernatural manifestations.
• 1:51:28
  That means God gives you peace, God gives you joy, God gives you
• 1:51:34
  healing, God gives you deliverance.
• 1:51:37
  These are all supernatural manifestations.
• 1:51:40
  When you pray, the answers come directly supernaturally, as
• 1:51:44
  peace to your troubled heart, as joy as healing.
• 1:51:48
  Say for instance, if you or anyone who is anointed praise
• 1:51:54
  and let's say you have pain, the pain can leave immediately.
• 1:51:57
  You know the prayer has been answered because the
• 1:51:59
  manifestation has come supernaturally though Daniel
• 1:52:03
  chapter 3 when you read from verse 24 to 30, the Bible tells
• 1:52:06
  us about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
• 1:52:09
  They were thrown into the burning furnace of fire, and the
• 1:52:14
  Bible tells us that their deliverance was instant.
• 1:52:17
  We saw the manifestation of God's hand.
• 1:52:19
  They had made bold declarations. They declared to the king that
• 1:52:22
  God was going to save them, and that even if He did not save
• 1:52:25
  them, they would not bow to His image.
• 1:52:27
  And the Bible says they threw them there, and when they threw
• 1:52:30
  them they were answers to the prayer immediately.
• 1:52:33
  It was supernatural. They saw the 4th man who was
• 1:52:36
  there, and the Bible says that their bands were loose and they
• 1:52:39
  were walking freely in the midst of the fire.
• 1:52:42
  The appearance of the fourth being like the Son of God.
• 1:52:46
  Hallelujah. And then the Bible says that
• 1:52:49
  there were men who the fire had no power over.
• 1:52:53
  So you can receive supernatural manifestations.
• 1:52:56
  This is common in the area of healing, common in the area of
• 1:53:00
  deliverance, common in the area of trouble.
• 1:53:02
  Within your spirit. You cannot hold peace, you
• 1:53:05
  cannot hold joy, you cannot hold healing, you cannot hold
• 1:53:09
  deliverance. Yet their effect can be very
• 1:53:11
  real. You are suffering from cancer.
• 1:53:13
  God heals you. The results show immediately.
• 1:53:15
  You go to the hospital and they will tell you, like the person
• 1:53:18
  who shared the testimony of the enlarged heart, you see that a
• 1:53:21
  miracle happens, and you see that your heart returns to
• 1:53:25
  normal. The mad man in Gadderer, a
• 1:53:30
  miracle happened and he returned immediately to his sound mind.
• 1:53:34
  The man out get beautiful. So God answers prayers.
• 1:53:38
  Prayers manifest as supernatural manifestations.
• 1:53:42
  I'm praying for someone already in the name of Jesus.
• 1:53:45
  Every supernatural manifestation, whether healing,
• 1:53:48
  whether deliverance, whether peace to your troubled heart,
• 1:53:50
  whether restoration of your joy, I'm praying now in the name of
• 1:53:54
  Jesus that you have it in this place.
• 1:53:56
  You receive it here and now shout a believe in Amen.
• 1:54:01
  Why am I teaching you this? So that when you pray based on
• 1:54:05
  whatever need, you know how the answers are.
• 1:54:08
  Are we together? If you are praying for healing,
• 1:54:11
  expect a supernatural manifestation.
• 1:54:14
  That's how the healing comes. That's how the healing comes.
• 1:54:17
  Now there are times that God can use doctors, He can use
• 1:54:20
  medicine, but I'm talking about the three ways.
• 1:54:22
  So #1 supernatural manifestations.
• 1:54:26
  Supernatural manifestations #2 The second way that God answers
• 1:54:31
  prayer is by releasing the graces.
• 1:54:35
  Listen carefully. Releasing the graces that
• 1:54:38
  attract the physical results. Releasing the graces that
• 1:54:44
  attract the physical results. God answers prayers by releasing
• 1:54:49
  graces, spiritual resources that attract the physical results.
• 1:54:55
  Grace is like wisdom. Grace is like favor.
• 1:54:59
  Grace is like direction. Grace is like understanding.
• 1:55:03
  Give us First Kings chapter 3 please.
• 1:55:06
  From verse 5. God answers prayers by releasing
• 1:55:11
  graces. That means when you go to the
• 1:55:13
  place of prayer, as you are praying and asking God for
• 1:55:16
  things, take note that the answer can come as a release of
• 1:55:20
  graces. Do you know some of you when you
• 1:55:23
  shout and fall in Kolonia while I teach?
• 1:55:25
  It's not always deliverance. This is it.
• 1:55:28
  Many times what is actually happening to you is an
• 1:55:30
  impartation. You are receiving a grace
• 1:55:33
  bespoke to that situation. You are trusting God, for it can
• 1:55:37
  come as wisdom. It can come as favor and
• 1:55:40
  impartation. These graces are referred to my
• 1:55:43
  teaching true riches. I told you that physical things
• 1:55:46
  are products. They are drawn by the spiritual
• 1:55:49
  resources we have. Are we together?
• 1:55:52
  Most believers pray and they don't know the answer to their
• 1:55:55
  prayer. For instance, you are saying, oh
• 1:55:57
  God, bring me promotion in the name of Jesus.
• 1:56:00
  But there is a level of mental capacity you need in order to be
• 1:56:05
  promoted. So God answers that prayer by
• 1:56:08
  releasing that grace, a higher level of wisdom, a higher level
• 1:56:12
  of insight. You find out that you understand
• 1:56:14
  your job in a way that is is a lot more efficient.
• 1:56:18
  And very soon your superiors can see that there's been
• 1:56:21
  improvement. It's called an excellent spirit.
• 1:56:24
  It's a grace. Daniel had that.
• 1:56:26
  That was how Daniel was elevated, that an excellent
• 1:56:29
  spirit was upon him for someone. Whilst you are hearing me now,
• 1:56:33
  there's prayer that you've been praying from January.
• 1:56:36
  God answered the prayer, but because you've not been taught
• 1:56:39
  how answers manifest, you've been looking physical, you've
• 1:56:42
  been looking around, yet the grace has come upon you.
• 1:56:46
  What do you do with the graces #1 You acknowledge them.
• 1:56:49
  Philemon one, verse 6, that the communication of your faith
• 1:56:53
  might become effectual through the acknowledging of every good
• 1:56:57
  thing that is in you, in Christ Jesus.
• 1:56:59
  You acknowledge the grace that that grace has come upon me.
• 1:57:03
  Then you engage the grace by faith.
• 1:57:07
  Engage the grace by faith. There is a spirit in man and the
• 1:57:11
  inspiration of the Almighty. Make it man of understanding.
• 1:57:14
  But what do you do with the understanding?
• 1:57:16
  You have to engage. He shall be of quick
• 1:57:18
  understanding. Isaiah 11 and verse three.
• 1:57:21
  He shall be of quick understanding of quick
• 1:57:24
  understanding of quick understanding.
• 1:57:29
  God answers prayer by releasing the various graces that are
• 1:57:34
  responsible for the command of the physical testimonies we
• 1:57:38
  desire. Please look at me when you pray
• 1:57:40
  and say, Father give me money. There are many ways he can
• 1:57:43
  answer that prayer, but the most classical way of answering that
• 1:57:46
  prayer is to give you the spiritual resources, the power
• 1:57:50
  to prosper, wisdom, favor like you have learned.
• 1:57:53
  Refer to my message seasons of abundance, my most recent
• 1:57:57
  message on finances. There are a lot of others.
• 1:57:59
  The power to get wealth and so on and so forth.
• 1:58:02
  Now when God releases that grace upon you, what happens is as you
• 1:58:06
  engage, that grace begins to attract people's circumstances
• 1:58:10
  and opportunities that are consistent with your desire.
• 1:58:14
  Are we together now? Yes, you find out that your
• 1:58:17
  problem solving abilities are heightened by the Spirit.
• 1:58:20
  God leads you to learn certain solutions that you bring to
• 1:58:24
  men's problems and soon increase comes to you.
• 1:58:27
  But it first came as an increase in grace.
• 1:58:30
  The Bible says grace and peace be multiplied.
• 1:58:34
  When grace is multiplied, results are also multiplied.
• 1:58:37
  May grace be multiplied for someone.
• 1:58:40
  Shout Amen like you are interested so first Kings
• 1:58:44
  chapter 3 please from verse 5. Let's hurry up First Kings 3
• 1:58:47
  from verse 5 the Bible says that Solomon had an encounter with
• 1:58:52
  God. It says in Gibeon the Lord
• 1:58:54
  appeared to Solomon in a dream by night.
• 1:58:57
  Are we still here and the Bible says God told him ask I want to
• 1:59:01
  give you, but he gave him nothing physical.
• 1:59:04
  When you read the full text is 2013 to 13.
• 1:59:08
  Go to verse 9 forsake of time. So he gave Solomon asks for an
• 1:59:12
  understanding heart to judge the people.
• 1:59:15
  That was what he asked for. Are you saying that he didn't
• 1:59:18
  ask for people he asked for understanding heart that he
• 1:59:21
  would discern judgment. Verse 10 the Bible says God was
• 1:59:25
  pleased, and verse 11 He now says that since you did not ask
• 1:59:31
  for long life or for riches, all for the life of your enemies,
• 1:59:37
  but you ask for understanding. Hear what God gave him. 12 and
• 1:59:41
  13 He says, I have done according to thy words.
• 1:59:44
  I have given thee. This transaction was happening
• 1:59:47
  in a dream. He didn't wake up with any
• 1:59:49
  physical thing, yet his prayer was answered.
• 1:59:51
  I have given thee an understanding heart, so that
• 1:59:54
  there is none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall
• 1:59:58
  any arise unto thee. Read 13 interesting Scripture.
• 2:00:01
  I have also given thee both riches and honor.
• 2:00:05
  These are graces. God did not bring money.
• 2:00:07
  He didn't wake up and see gold or whatever ivory or whatever
• 2:00:11
  they use those days. He gave him riches as a grace.
• 2:00:15
  He gave him honor as a grace. And when the man got up, in no
• 2:00:19
  time kings began to come from various nations because his
• 2:00:23
  wisdom was so compelling. And they brought him gold.
• 2:00:27
  They brought him ivory. Even the Queen of Sheba, she was
• 2:00:30
  the last, it was recorded, of the royalties to come.
• 2:00:33
  She came bearing gifts. So when you pray and say Father,
• 2:00:38
  increase me, change my story. It's important to know how God
• 2:00:42
  answers the very common way of God answering if it's not
• 2:00:46
  something that requires a supernatural manifestation like
• 2:00:49
  healing. Most physical results, physical
• 2:00:52
  testimonies are answered by God releasing the graces that
• 2:00:56
  attracts. Them, the graces that attracts
• 2:01:00
  them. There is a grace that can
• 2:01:02
  attract the resources you are praying for.
• 2:01:04
  There is a grace that can attract the finances.
• 2:01:07
  There is a grace that can attract whatever it is looking
• 2:01:10
  for. It is a waste of time.
• 2:01:11
  You receive the grace and it draws it to you.
• 2:01:14
  Say Amen. The final way God answers prayer
• 2:01:18
  is through the ministry of men, the ministry of men, the
• 2:01:23
  ministry of men. First Samuel 10/26/27 First
• 2:01:28
  Samuel 10/26/27 Someone's prayer life is becoming richer because
• 2:01:32
  you are learning now how God answers prayer.
• 2:01:35
  And Saul went home to Gibeah, and there went with him.
• 2:01:39
  I like this when I was studying, preparing for this, my God, this
• 2:01:42
  scripture, I've seen it before, but it came with light.
• 2:01:45
  It blew my spirit. Watch this.
• 2:01:47
  And there went with him a band of men read the last sentence,
• 2:01:52
  Whose hearts God had touched, whose hearts God had touched. 27
• 2:02:01
  But the children of Bilial said, How shall this man save us?
• 2:02:06
  This were the ones whose hands were not touched, and they
• 2:02:08
  despised him and brought him no presence.
• 2:02:14
  Give us amplified, please. Same scripture.
• 2:02:17
  Amplified same scripture got to 26 again.
• 2:02:22
  Saul went home to Gibeah and the Bible says they went with him.
• 2:02:27
  A band of brilliant men whose hearts God had touched.
• 2:02:33
  Nobody follows you until God touches their hearts.
• 2:02:37
  Nobody helps you when you see a man coming to assist you.
• 2:02:41
  The Bible says this is a mystery that God had touched in their
• 2:02:44
  hearts. I think his promise who says is
• 2:02:47
  when he's taking the offering, he says May God put your name in
• 2:02:50
  the hearts of men. This what he tries to say verse
• 2:02:52
  27 the Bible said, but some what less fellow said, how can this
• 2:02:58
  man save us? This is what you get when God
• 2:03:00
  does not touch the heart of men and they come around you, they
• 2:03:03
  will despise you. He says how can this man save
• 2:03:06
  us? And they despised him and
• 2:03:08
  brought him no gift, but he held his peace as if he was deaf.
• 2:03:15
  Man whose heart God has touched. Father, I'm praying that you
• 2:03:20
  bring me out of this calamity. You know how God answers you
• 2:03:23
  when He grants you those graces. You would touch the heart of
• 2:03:26
  someone. Oh, happy is the man who meets a
• 2:03:29
  man whose heart God has touched. They will do things as if they
• 2:03:33
  are under the influence of a charm.
• 2:03:35
  Where is your mother? Where is your father?
• 2:03:37
  Tell them I will start helping you every day.
• 2:03:40
  I will be sending 11 million till December.
• 2:03:42
  It is my contribution to this family.
• 2:03:44
  No strings attached. And you are even afraid?
• 2:03:47
  They are men whose heart God has touched.
• 2:03:51
  God can touch the heart of royalties.
• 2:03:53
  God can touch the heart of men of influence.
• 2:03:55
  Do you believe this? Men whose heart God has touched.
• 2:04:02
  Every man of God needs to pray this prayer.
• 2:04:04
  Nobody has members, you only have those whose heart God has
• 2:04:09
  touched. Nobody follows you.
• 2:04:11
  Just because somebody is with you for many years does not mean
• 2:04:15
  they are with you. Men whose hearts God has
• 2:04:20
  touched, this here is the secret of loyalty, is the secret of
• 2:04:25
  commitment, is the secret of genuine connection, whether for
• 2:04:29
  ministry, whether for business. If you are a leader here, here's
• 2:04:32
  your prayer point for this week. Go and pray, Father, touch the
• 2:04:36
  heart of man for my sake. I've taught you Numbers chapter
• 2:04:39
  1 and verse 5. These are the names of the
• 2:04:42
  people who shall stand with you, who shall stand with you, who
• 2:04:49
  shall stand with you. Not everybody stands with you
• 2:04:53
  that Jesus you love so much. There are people who despise him
• 2:04:57
  because their hearts have not been touched.
• 2:05:00
  It is amazing how you can be a champion to someone and you can
• 2:05:04
  be Belial to another person depending on whose heart God has
• 2:05:08
  touched. So don't be surprised when
• 2:05:10
  people despise you while others are celebrating you.
• 2:05:13
  I think it's something preachers are having a hard time to
• 2:05:15
  understand. How could somebody celebrate
• 2:05:17
  you, honor you, love you, serve that grace, and then another
• 2:05:21
  person despises you so harshly? Unfortunately, it is not every
• 2:05:25
  man whose heart has been touched for you.
• 2:05:27
  It is your assignment as a man of God to say, Lord, all that
• 2:05:31
  you have given me, touch their heart.
• 2:05:33
  Don't make a mistake of thinking that as congregate, sit down and
• 2:05:37
  look at you as a man of God. They are truly connected.
• 2:05:40
  If God does not touch their heart, they can be with you for
• 2:05:43
  10 years and one day they will say crucify him and go to bed
• 2:05:47
  while you're on the cross. Did you hear what I said?
• 2:05:53
  Pray for everybody in your household, house, help, security
• 2:05:57
  people, whatever God touch their heart.
• 2:06:00
  If not the day somebody comes to say, Luco, can you help me and
• 2:06:03
  kill this man Judas? Judas was with Jesus, but his
• 2:06:08
  heart was not touched. You need to pray, lead us, Pray
• 2:06:12
  for everybody within your circle, those who play pivotal
• 2:06:16
  role. God, touch them, touch their
• 2:06:19
  hearts, let them be loyal indeed, committed indeed.
• 2:06:22
  Spouses. Pray for yourselves, one for
• 2:06:25
  another, so that there's no falsehood and deception.
• 2:06:28
  Pray for yourself. Give us that scripture again.
• 2:06:34
  Saul also went home to Gibeah and there went with him a band
• 2:06:39
  of billion men, men whose hearts God has touched.
• 2:06:45
  Your destiny helper comes under this category.
• 2:06:49
  Are we together? Have you read a very interesting
• 2:06:54
  story in the Bible? We're about to pray.
• 2:06:57
  That story is found, I think, in Luke chapter.
• 2:07:01
  Is it Luke chapter 10 from verse 29 to 36?
• 2:07:05
  Just write it for reference. Luke chapter 10 is the story of
• 2:07:09
  a man called the Samaritan. Have you heard the story of the
• 2:07:13
  Good Samaritan? So I will quote it quickly for
• 2:07:16
  time. The Bible tells us that there
• 2:07:18
  was this man. Read verse 30.
• 2:07:21
  Jesus now is explaining that there was a certain man who went
• 2:07:24
  down from Jerusalem to Jericho. He fell among thieves.
• 2:07:28
  Please look up. And they stripped him of his
• 2:07:30
  garment. They wounded him, and they
• 2:07:33
  departed, leaving him half dead. Everybody say half dead.
• 2:07:37
  And there were three people who were who came to the life of
• 2:07:40
  that man. The most likely people did not
• 2:07:43
  help him. Number one was a priest.
• 2:07:47
  The priest came when you read the verses, the priest came and
• 2:07:51
  saw him and went away as if he did not see anything #2A Levite
• 2:07:56
  came. People of consecration came and
• 2:08:02
  saw him and passed on. But then #3 A man whose heart
• 2:08:06
  got touched, the Bible say, is certain.
• 2:08:09
  Samaritan. When he saw him, he had
• 2:08:12
  compassion upon him. And what will he do in response
• 2:08:16
  to the compassion? 34 He bounced his wounds, he
• 2:08:19
  poured oil, he poured wine, he set him on his own donkey.
• 2:08:24
  He brought him to a hotel and took care of him, and he went
• 2:08:28
  further. Verse 35.
• 2:08:29
  To leave an instruction, he said he took two pens and gave the
• 2:08:33
  hotel Tell host and said take care of him and whatever else
• 2:08:38
  you spend, I will come back and repay you.
• 2:08:41
  Man whose heart God has touched. They will pay your rent last
• 2:08:47
  year and come this year again and say, are you stable now?
• 2:08:50
  You say not yet Sir, and say don't worry, I will still pay
• 2:08:53
  it. Man whose heart God has touched.
• 2:08:56
  Who needs those kind of people? Man whose heart?
• 2:09:00
  I'm about to pray that prayer for you.
• 2:09:02
  Man whose heart? I've seen a few of these kinds
• 2:09:05
  of people in my life. And in all fairness, most of
• 2:09:08
  you, if not all of you, are here because this happened to you.
• 2:09:11
  You need these kinds of people in your life, else as a man of
• 2:09:15
  God you will walk alone. As a leader you will walk alone.
• 2:09:18
  As a businessman you will walk alone or you will be surrounded
• 2:09:22
  by sycophants to a point where you will live in fear.
• 2:09:25
  Everybody's answering yes, Sir, but the truth is that their
• 2:09:28
  hearts have not been touched. They will sell you for 30 she
• 2:09:31
  kills. They will sell you for anything
• 2:09:34
  at all. Judas, even the brothers of
• 2:09:37
  Joseph, they were not touched even though they were his
• 2:09:39
  brothers. When an opportunity came, they
• 2:09:42
  sold him cheaply. It takes beyond proximity for
• 2:09:45
  connection to happen. God must touch the heart of a
• 2:09:48
  man. Maybe we should start with that
• 2:09:50
  prayer. We'll start with this prayer and
• 2:09:52
  then connect to others whilst you are seated.
• 2:09:54
  Not touch the heart of my helpers in this season.
• 2:09:57
  Touch the heart of anyone and everyone who is part of your
• 2:10:01
  prophetic program for me. Whilst you are seated, make sure
• 2:10:04
  you pray outside. Pray, businessman, pray.
• 2:10:08
  Maybe this is the miracle you came to church to receive.
• 2:10:10
  Lord, touch the heart of someone.
• 2:10:13
  Where is the Good Samaritan who must show me kindness?
• 2:10:16
  Where is the Good Samaritan who will make prophecy happen in my
• 2:10:20
  life? Where is that helpline ministry,
• 2:10:22
  that helpline business? Mama, pray for your children.
• 2:10:25
  Where is the helper that God has positioned to lift my children?
• 2:10:29
  Some of them are in a foreign land void of help.
• 2:10:32
  Lord, sent to my life, sent to my family, sent to my ministry,
• 2:10:37
  sent to my home, sent to my job, sent to to my destiny, the man
• 2:10:42
  whose heart God has touched someone.
• 2:10:45
  Take a minute to pray. You are investing in your
• 2:10:47
  destiny. This is the school of prayer.
• 2:10:49
  God answers prayer by sending man.
• 2:10:56
  God answers prayers by releasing grace's supernatural endowments
• 2:11:01
  that command physical results, physical testimonies.
• 2:11:06
  God answers prayers by granting you access to supernatural
• 2:11:11
  experiences. Sapella Cosa brande, gabella
• 2:11:16
  cosiata someone pray. The final arrival of all answer
• 2:11:23
  to prayers is the arrival of men.
• 2:11:26
  They come with the gifts they carry.
• 2:11:29
  They come with glad tidings. They come with physical things.
• 2:11:32
  They come with goodness. They come with mercy.
• 2:11:34
  Men are an expression of God's goodness.
• 2:11:37
  Men are an expression of God's mercy.
• 2:11:40
  Men are an expression of God's prosperity.
• 2:11:43
  Your wealth is in the hands of man.
• 2:11:46
  Your favor is in the hands of man.
• 2:11:48
  In the name of Jesus, go ahead and pray.
• 2:11:50
  The land you will build on is currently in the hand of some
• 2:11:53
  man. God needs to help you.
• 2:11:56
  If God does not touch the heart of men, you will live a defeated
• 2:12:00
  life. Someone is praying, Someone is
• 2:12:04
  praying. Sapadi kaparakosa brendiga Bella

  catos in this season. Oh God, I receive answers to
• 2:12:12
  prayer. If it's a healing cry for a
• 2:12:16
  supernatural manifestation, let that cancer die.
• 2:12:19
  Let that deliverance be perfected.
• 2:12:22
  Let this recurrent ill health give way once and for all.
• 2:12:27
  Let this blood condition go. It is within your power to heal
• 2:12:31
  me and to heal me. Now Heal me, O God, and I will
• 2:12:35
  be healed. Save me and I shall be saved.
• 2:12:42
  Now go ahead and pray. The resources of wisdom, the
• 2:12:46
  resources of favor, the resources of direction, the
• 2:12:50
  resources of power, the resources of the anointing, the
• 2:12:55
  resources of honor. Let it rest upon me, drawing to
• 2:13:00
  my life physical testimonies, testimonies of abundance and
• 2:13:05
  increase. Believers are prayed.
• 2:13:09
  Sapra cata peleca paratos Cathy Bella Cosiata.
• 2:13:13
  Two or three more minutes. Go ahead and pray.
• 2:13:16
  Whoa, my help has come. Whoa, my help has come.
• 2:13:35
  Whoa, my lifting has come. Favor, favor has come.
• 2:15:06
  My help has come. In the name of Jesus, In the
• 2:15:22
  name of Jesus, listen to me. It is impossible to have your
• 2:15:29
  prayer life go down when you understand these things.
• 2:15:33
  That this is a treasure that is hidden in a life of prayer.
• 2:15:39
  That every time I commit to prayer, I give God an
• 2:15:43
  opportunity to reveal His glory through my life.
• 2:15:46
  Imagine the things we miss when we do not pray, and imagine the
• 2:15:50
  things we miss when we pray without understanding.
• 2:15:54
  Imagine the things we miss when we pray and miss that prayer is
• 2:16:00
  predicated upon the fact that your will needs to be active for
• 2:16:05
  your destiny and God's purposes to you to be actualized.
• 2:16:09
  He made it so. He gave you that gift, and that
• 2:16:13
  gift had placed a mandate upon your life that you must always
• 2:16:17
  communicate your needs. Communicate your needs.
• 2:16:21
  No assumption, no presumption. And I've taught you tonight that
• 2:16:26
  there are various assignments to prayer, your growth and
• 2:16:30
  transformation, obtaining requests in the place of prayer,
• 2:16:34
  making decrease, establishing spiritual realities.
• 2:16:38
  I also taught you that the final assignment of prayer is for
• 2:16:43
  warfare and intercession. I've taught you various prayer
• 2:16:46
  models. Make sure you take advantage of
• 2:16:49
  them. That you can pray in the Spirit,
• 2:16:51
  building up yourself on your most only faith, consistently
• 2:16:55
  growing, molting yourself to a more powerful version.
• 2:16:59
  Are we together now that you can pray declaring faith filled
• 2:17:04
  declaration of scriptures, you can pray the prayer of inquiry,
• 2:17:09
  you can pray warfare warfare prayer, and you can pray with
• 2:17:14
  Thanksgiving as the tool for receiving.
• 2:17:16
  Now I've told you finally that when God answers prayers, these
• 2:17:21
  are the three channels for its manifestation #1 God answers
• 2:17:26
  prayers by giving you supernatural manifestations,
• 2:17:30
  like a healing miracle, like a deliverance.
• 2:17:32
  Are we together supernatural? It is instant, and yet, even
• 2:17:37
  though it's from the Spirit, you can have a physical expression.
• 2:17:40
  And then that God releases graces in answer to prayer,
• 2:17:44
  graces of wisdom, graces of favor, graces of power, graces
• 2:17:50
  of understanding, graces of direction, graces of honor.
• 2:17:53
  When you carry these graces, the graces have a mandate to draw
• 2:17:58
  forth physical circumstances, physical experiences that
• 2:18:02
  translate to your testimony, and at the final arrival of every
• 2:18:08
  answered prayer is through the ministry of men.
• 2:18:11
  They come in response to what you are carrying on your head.
• 2:18:14
  They come in response to something God has placed upon
• 2:18:17
  your life and that for that to happen, God must touch their
• 2:18:20
  hearts. Men can be aware of your need,
• 2:18:23
  but it does not mean they will respond to it.
• 2:18:25
  These are the men whose heart God has touched, who has
• 2:18:29
  learned. Tonight, go back and listen to
• 2:18:32
  this message. Go back and meditate upon this.
• 2:18:36
  Meditate upon this until your prayer life becomes richer and
• 2:18:41
  becomes fuller. I'll ask you to pray one prayer
• 2:18:44
  and then I speak over your life. Father, everything that has
• 2:18:47
  killed my prayer life, I command it out of my destiny.
• 2:18:51
  Find my prayer life back to life.
• 2:18:54
  I need to be a believer with power, a believer with results.
• 2:18:58
  I intend to get mastery in the place of prayer.
• 2:19:01
  Someone pray. Someone pray.
• 2:19:04
  Take a minute to pray. Prayer that translates to your
• 2:19:08
  prosperity, to your advancement, to your empowerment, consistent
• 2:19:12
  on ending results by the Spirit you are taking a minute to pray.
• 2:19:16
  Fan back the ambers of prayer. Fan back your altar in the name
• 2:19:21
  of Jesus Christ, Salika para supende le caparas le cretus
• 2:19:27
  Cabernico Shabran de Gabella Tosia.
• 2:19:31
  In Jesus name we pray. Let me speak over you now.
• 2:19:35
  In the name that is above all names.
• 2:19:37
  I pray for someone. The encounters you lost as a
• 2:19:40
  result of the decline of your prayer life made resume tonight.
• 2:19:45
  The supernatural encounters that brought you direction, that made
• 2:19:49
  your future predictable. You knew things before they
• 2:19:51
  happened. You work with certainty and
• 2:19:54
  accuracy, but you lost it as a result of a loss in your prayer
• 2:19:57
  life. Like the hell of Samson, I pray
• 2:20:00
  for a restoration tonight. I pray for a restoration
• 2:20:04
  tonight. I pray for a restoration
• 2:20:07
  tonight. I pray for a restoration
• 2:20:10
  tonight. The grace to pray in the Spirit
• 2:20:13
  and to pray consistently receive it right now.
• 2:20:18
  The grace to consistently make faith filled declarations.
• 2:20:22
  Receive that grace right now in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:20:27
  I pray for you, the discipline and the patience to pray the
• 2:20:32
  prayer of inquiry till you find direction for your life and
• 2:20:36
  destiny. I declare receive it right now
• 2:20:40
  in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:20:43
  I pray for you by the power of the Holy Spirit, the discipline
• 2:20:46
  and the discernment to engage warfare and intercession if and
• 2:20:51
  when the need arises. Receive the grace in the name of
• 2:20:54
  Jesus. Receive the grace in the name of
• 2:20:57
  Jesus. And now I pray for everyone here
• 2:21:00
  who is seeking your body. You are in need of a thought
• 2:21:02
  supernaturally. May God answer that prayer now.
• 2:21:06
  May God answer that desire now that you will walk out of this
• 2:21:11
  place healed. You will walk out of this place
• 2:21:13
  delivered brand new organs to your body.
• 2:21:17
  In the name of Jesus. I pray for you every grace,
• 2:21:21
  every spiritual resource that needs to land on your head and
• 2:21:25
  to begin to attract strange testimonies to your life.
• 2:21:29
  Whether it is wisdom, receive it.
• 2:21:31
  Be it favor, receive it. Be it honor, receive it, be it
• 2:21:35
  understanding, receive it in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:21:40
  Final prayer point. I don't know whose heart God
• 2:21:43
  needs to touch this night. I don't know who God needs to
• 2:21:47
  wake from sleep for your sake, for your sake.
• 2:21:50
  Not to punish them, not to be evil towards them, but for your
• 2:21:54
  sake that God will wake them like he woke a hazardous and
• 2:21:57
  cause them to open the book of remembrance.
• 2:22:00
  I pray for you. May God touch the heart of
• 2:22:03
  someone for your sake. May God touch the heart of a
• 2:22:07
  gatekeeper for your sake. May God touch the heart of your
• 2:22:11
  boss for your sake. May God touch the heart of a man
• 2:22:15
  of God for your sake. May God touch the heart of a
• 2:22:18
  wealthy and establishment for your sake in the name of Jesus
• 2:22:23
  Christ. My final prayer is that every
• 2:22:30
  spirit that has been assigned to attack your prayer life, attack
• 2:22:35
  your watch, study life and make what you have heard tonight
• 2:22:39
  profit less and of non effect. I decree and declare that those
• 2:22:43
  spirits are banished from your habitation, banished from your
• 2:22:48
  habitation in the name of Jesus. Now listen very carefully before
• 2:22:54
  I take the altar call just to very important information.
• 2:22:59
  By the grace of God, this week coming Friday and Sunday will be

• 2:24:07
  When we're ready, when God gives us a release in the Spirit, we
• 2:24:11
  reorganize and make sure that we announce it.

  I'm saying this particularly to our global family, those who are
• 2:24:16
  already planning to travel in you leave that for another.

  Time. You are always welcome to come,

  In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen, Let me give somebody an
• 2:24:27
  opportunity to come to Jesus very quickly.
• 2:24:31
  Hallelujah. You have a right to use your
• 2:24:35
  will, and you can use that will to leave your seat and come and
• 2:24:40
  stand before the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 2:24:42
  This is only for someone who is an apostle.
• 2:24:45
  While I heard you teach, the Spirit of God began to convict
• 2:24:48
  me. Let's minimize movement.
• 2:24:49
  We're almost done. Let's discipline ourselves and
• 2:24:51
  minimize movement. I know we need to reach for
• 2:24:54
  various vehicles or whatever. Just be patient.
• 2:24:57
  I'm calling on someone. I'll count one to five.
• 2:24:59
  You don't have to kneel. Please stand.
• 2:25:00
  God bless you. You are saying apostle, if you
• 2:25:04
  would give me an opportunity, I truly need Jesus as I count 1 to
• 2:25:08
  5. Please leave your seat.
• 2:25:10
  Rush, come and stand right here. One.
• 2:25:13
  Let's honor them as they come 2. 3 Kanonia, are you encouraging
• 2:25:26
  them? Make sure you don't sit back
• 2:25:32
  when the Lord is asking you to come.
• 2:25:34
  Your bags, your Bibles, everything you came to church
• 2:25:37
  with, please be on your way to the front.
• 2:25:39
  Give me the honor of leading you to this Jesus.
• 2:25:42
  For those who are coming outside, please hurry.
• 2:25:43
  Please hurry. We have just a minute for you.
• 2:25:47
  Join them very quickly. Apostle, I want to come, but I'm
• 2:25:50
  not sure if I'm saved. You can have the assurance of
• 2:25:53
  salvation tonight. Join them very quickly.
• 2:25:55
  Make your way to the front, whether you are in the
• 2:25:57
  auditorium or any of the overflows.
• 2:25:59
  Those outside you can move to the front of your LEDs.
• 2:26:03
  Same with those at all the overflows.
• 2:26:05
  This is an opportunity to receive Jesus.
• 2:26:08
  God bless you. God bless you.
• 2:26:10
  I need to know you are here. I want to begin the prayer.
• 2:26:13
  I see a few coming. Please come very quickly.
• 2:26:15
  Come very quickly. Come very quickly, young and
• 2:26:17
  old, God bless you. Male and female, God bless you.
• 2:26:22
  Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 2:26:25
  Now those of you in front, thank you for coming.
• 2:26:27
  Please lift your right hand as high as you can.
• 2:26:30
  Say this after me, as loud and as clear as you can.
• 2:26:32
  Say, Lord Jesus, tonight I have heard your.
• 2:26:36
  Word. I believe that you are the Son
• 2:26:39
  of God. I believe that you died for my
• 2:26:43
  sin. I believe that you rose again
• 2:26:47
  for my justification right now. I receive Jesus into my heart as
• 2:26:53
  my Savior, my Lord, and my King. I declare that the power of sin,
• 2:27:02
  Satan, hell, and the grave is broken over my life from tonight
• 2:27:10
  and forever. I'm a child of God.
• 2:27:12
  I go for whatever and back whatever.
• 2:27:16
  Amen. Thank you, Father, for these
• 2:27:18
  wonderful hands that are lifted. You brought these people to
• 2:27:20
  yourself. I pray in the name of Jesus that
• 2:27:23
  upon their confession, in the name of Jesus, we declare them
• 2:27:26
  saved, we declare them sanctified, we call them the
• 2:27:29
  righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and we release upon them
• 2:27:32
  the grace to live victorious Christian lives.
• 2:27:35
  In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen and Amen.
• 2:27:39
  Please let me request that you look to my right.
• 2:27:41
  That will be your left. There are counselors waving the
• 2:27:43
  placard. They will have a word with you
• 2:27:45
  very quickly, and then you return to your seat.
• 2:27:47
  Let's honor them. Koinonia, Hallelujah.
• 2:27:52
  Praise the name of the Lord. Let me encourage you one last
• 2:27:56
  time before we leave. Please, I want you to know that
• 2:27:59
  it is everyone's business in this House to extend an invite
• 2:28:05
  to everyone when you come to church.
• 2:28:07
  There's no publicity department in Koinonia because everyone is
• 2:28:11
  part of this. Don't say there are crowds
• 2:28:13
  everywhere in and out. This is beyond just the search
• 2:28:17
  for crowd. It's important that someone gets
• 2:28:20
  saved through your life, gets transformed through your life.
• 2:28:23
  So make sure you don't get up and just come to church,
• 2:28:25
  ignoring the many people do the work of an evangelist.
• 2:28:29
  Those who are not able to make it offline, you can invite them
• 2:28:33
  online, they can connect. There are 10s of thousands of
• 2:28:36
  people who connect weekly online, and we're grateful for
• 2:28:38
  that. We have a global family and
• 2:28:40
  several others who follow in the course of the service.
• 2:28:43
  But there is still one soul to be saved, one soul to be
• 2:28:47
  transformed, one soul to be healed.
• 2:28:50
  And provided there is still one soul left, we will not rest.
• 2:28:53
  Are we together? God has honored us, His
• 2:28:55
  glorified His name. But let us know, not be
• 2:28:57
  complacent. So by this, I'm giving everyone
• 2:29:00
  a charge. Make sure that you do the work
• 2:29:02
  of an evangelist before you come to church.
• 2:29:06
  Is that clear? Let God help us so that we'll do
• 2:29:09
  that. The grace is upon you.
• 2:29:11
  Please invite someone. Don't leave people who need to
• 2:29:13
  be saved. Leave people who need
• 2:29:15
  transformation, and just walk to church alone.
• 2:29:17
  It's not a healthy Christian habit.
• 2:29:20
  In gathering is the assignment and the mandate of every
• 2:29:23
  believer. You can draw people who are
• 2:29:26
  around your sphere of influence. You can draw people who are
• 2:29:29
  around your life, friends and neighbors.
• 2:29:31
  Extend the invite. Don't assume they will reject
• 2:29:34
  your invite. Extend it.
• 2:29:36
  Explain to them what they are about to receive, and you see
• 2:29:39
  that God will bring them. And as they come, in the name of
• 2:29:41
  Jesus, May God bless you. Say Amen, shout another Amen,
• 2:29:47
  Hallelujah. All right, so I'll speak over
• 2:29:49
  you and then we're done for the service.
• 2:29:51
  In the name of Jesus, may your week beginning be the best
• 2:29:55
  you've had so far. Let favor follow you this week.
• 2:29:59
  You will see. Answers.
• 2:30:01
  Answers to prayer like never before.
• 2:30:03
  In the name of Jesus Christ, you will pray.
• 2:30:06
  The kind of prayer that produces results from Sunday to Sunday,
• 2:30:10
  every day becomes an unending episode of wonders.
• 2:30:14
  In the name of Jesus, you will not die.
• 2:30:17
  I say it again, you will not die.
• 2:30:19
  You will not be a victim of the wickedness of man.
• 2:30:23
  If it's for good, may they find you.
• 2:30:25
  If it's for evil, they will not see you.
• 2:30:28
  I say it again, if it's for good, may they find you.
• 2:30:31
  But if it's for evil, their eyes will not see you go from glory
• 2:30:35
  to glory. The intelligence of the Spirit
• 2:30:38
  is at work in your life and your life is producing fearful
• 2:30:42
  results. To the glory of the name of the
• 2:30:44
  Lord. In Jesus name we pray together.
• 2:30:47
  Let's share the grace and fellowship, the grace of our
• 2:30:49
  Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, the sweet fellowship of the
• 2:30:53
  Holy Spirit. Rest and abide with us now and
• 2:30:56
  forevermore. Amen.
• 2:30:57
  Surely all the days of our lives as we dwell in the House of the
• 2:31:03
  Lord forever and ever. Amen.
• 2:31:06
  Please greet someone on your way out and see you next week.
