  Let's lift our hands and bless this King of glory.
• 0:16
  Indeed, He's the Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord who is
• 0:20
  mighty in battle, mighty in my life, mighty in your life,
• 0:26
  mighty over your finances, mighty over your children.
• 0:31
  Lift your voice and acknowledge the one who is strong and
• 0:35
  mighty. Turn that song into a prayer.
• 0:39
  You are mighty, mighty in my life, mighty over every
• 0:44
  situation and every circumstance.
• 0:47
  You defeated death, hell and the grave.
• 0:50
  There is nothing too hard to do. I acknowledge you, the Lord God
• 0:55
  Almighty. Someone still praying?
• 2:07
  Father, let tonight be my night. Lift your hands and cry unto the
• 2:11
  God of heaven. Let tonight be my night.
• 2:16
  It can be everybody's night, but let it be my night.
• 2:21
  My night for growth, my night for transformation, my night for
• 2:25
  an encounter, my night for a testimony.
• 2:30
  Let tonight be the night where there will be an evidence to my
• 2:33
  loving you. Let tonight be the night where
• 2:37
  there will be an evidence to my serving you.
• 2:40
  Let tonight be the night where there will be an evidence to my
• 2:43
  seeking you, to my passionately pursuing you.
• 2:50
  Let tonight be the night where there will be an evidence to my
• 2:53
  waiting on you. You are the King of glory.
• 2:59
  You are strong, You are mighty, but you are loving, You are
• 3:03
  faithful. You are a God of integrity.
• 3:07
  Let my faith reach out to you tonight.
• 3:09
  Oh God. Now respond to me with a
• 3:12
  visitation. Give me encounters, bring to my
• 3:17
  life interventions. By your glory is someone
• 3:20
  praying. Every service is an encounter,
• 3:25
  an encounter in His presence, leaving you wiser, stronger,
• 3:29
  better, more anointed, filled with faith, with hope, with
• 3:33
  determination. Thank you Lord Jesus,
• 3:47
  Hallelujah, Hallelujah. We are way.
• 3:53
  We worship you, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Yahweh.
• 4:04
  We worship you, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
• 4:11
  We are. Yahweh.
• 4:14
  We worship you. Hallelujah, we are.
• 5:04
  Father we give you praise, Let your name be lifted in our midst
• 5:08
  and from this place let the nations know you are King.
• 5:12
  Heal someone tonight, save someone tonight, deliver someone
• 5:16
  tonight, transform someone tonight.
• 5:20
  Be glorified for in Jesus name we pray.
• 5:23
  Walk up to 2345 people and tell them good evening, this is your
• 5:28
  night. This is your night in the name
• 5:32
  of Jesus. That includes our family
• 5:35
  following online. This is your night in Jesus much
• 5:39
  less name. We pray.
• 5:41
  Can we give a good hand clap to our wonderful worship team?
• 5:47
  Amen and Amen, please. You may be seated.
• 5:51
  I welcome you on behalf of Jesus himself to this place He has so
• 5:56
  ordained to be a mountain of encounters, a mountain of
• 6:01
  transformation, a mountain of signs and wonders where we
• 6:06
  experience God in an unlimited way.
• 6:09
  That will be your testimony tonight in Jesus name.
• 6:14
  I want us to take a minute. I know that we were led to
• 6:18
  acknowledge the hand of God, but I just thought again in
• 6:23
  retrospect, and my heart was filled with gratitude to the God
• 6:27
  of heaven for showing us mercy in this house, for making this
• 6:31
  house a place of encounters, for making this house a place of
• 6:35
  radical transformation, for bringing deliverance, for
• 6:39
  birthing destinies. Would you join me?
• 6:41
  Lift your hands to this God of heaven and just tell him thank
• 6:46
  you if you don't have a reason. Thank him because of Koinonia.
• 6:51
  Thank Him because of your life. I don't know how you would do
• 6:53
  it, but don't trivialize His presence.
• 6:56
  I look at my life today and all I see is the goodness of God.
• 7:00
  All I see is the mercy of the God of David.
• 7:03
  Someone lift your hands with a thoughtful heart.
• 7:06
  Lift your hands with a grateful heart.
• 7:11
  Let gratitude flow as worship from your lips.
• 7:14
  Let gratitude flow as worship from your lips.
• 7:17
  Acknowledging the doer of all good things, acknowledging the
• 7:21
  lifter of men, the helper of Koinonia, the one who so lifted
• 7:27
  us marvelously protected us with his jealousy, the one who has
• 7:32
  made a name for himself in our midst and through us.
• 7:36
  Would you lift your hands and Shabbat the Lord, Give him
• 7:39
  praise and give him glory. Father before the nations we
• 7:43
  acknowledge you. Before the nations, we call you
• 7:46
  great. Before the nations, we call you
• 7:49
  mighty. Before the nations, we call you
• 7:52
  helper. Before the nations, we call you
• 7:55
  faithful. We call you true, we call you
• 7:58
  dependable, we call you reliable.
• 8:01
  Before the nations, we call you a rewarder to them that
• 8:05
  diligently seek you. Before the nations, we declare
• 8:08
  that there is value in loving you.
• 8:10
  Before the nations, we declare that there is value in seeking
• 8:14
  your face. There is profit in learning your
• 8:17
  ways. There is profit in staying until
• 8:20
  we are changed. We are testament of your health,
• 8:23
  your mercy, your goodness. Lift your hands and help me
• 8:26
  declare before Him and before the nations.
• 8:29
  Let them know that it pays to serve Jesus.
• 8:33
  Let the nations from the rising of the sun and to the going down
• 8:37
  of the same. Through our witness may they
• 8:40
  acknowledge that God is worthy to be praised, that He is
• 8:44
  dependable. That is a reward of them that
• 8:47
  diligently seek Him. Father, we bless you
• 8:51
  unashamedly. We bless you without
• 8:54
  reservation. We bless you in an undignified
• 8:57
  manner. Let the nations know that you
• 9:00
  are King. How dare we claim victory by
• 9:03
  ourselves and by our strength. It is of the Lords mercy that we
• 9:06
  are not consumed because your compassion over us, it fails
• 9:11
  not. You are the keeper of Koinonia,
• 9:13
  watching us day and night, seeing to weed that we do not
• 9:17
  fall prey to the hands of our enemy.
• 9:19
  Therefore, Lord, we lift up our voices and we say thank you.
• 9:22
  We lift up our voices as a people, as a family, as a
• 9:26
  nation, and we declare that you are a good God.
• 9:30
  You are faithful for the testimonies, for signs, wonders,
• 9:35
  mighty miracles, the prevailing power of the world.
• 9:40
  For the grace to disciple nations, For the grace to
• 9:43
  transform kings and nobles and territories, teaching them your
• 9:47
  ways, helping them to experience your wisdom and your power.
• 9:51
  With hands lifted, we say thank you.
• 9:54
  With voices raised to the heavens, we say you are worthy.
• 9:57
  Receive all praise, receive all glory.
• 10:00
  We acknowledge the two of every good thing in our mix.
• 10:06
  Hallelujah, Hallelujah. My God, I worship you.
• 10:13
  Hallelujah, Hallelujah. My King, I worship you.
• 10:27
  My God, I worship you. My Father, I worship you.
• 10:37
  Redeemer, I worship you. The Lifter I worship you.
• 10:47
  My helper, I worship you. Defender, I worship you.
• 10:57
  Protector, I worship. I worship.
• 11:11
  Father. We give you all the praise.
• 11:13
  Let the nations know that You are the mighty, terrible One who
• 11:18
  stands behind us, rotting terrible things in righteousness
• 11:24
  through our lips, through our hands, through these vessels of
• 11:27
  clay. And I pray, O God, that for as
• 11:30
  long as we live, may the nations never mistaken Your hand in our
• 11:37
  lives for our own efforts and the doings of ourselves.
• 11:42
  Let it be very clear before them that You are the doer, that it
• 11:46
  is of your fullness we have received even grace.
• 11:49
  Upon grace we acknowledge you. Be glorified.
• 11:53
  In Jesus name we pray please. You may be seated.
• 11:57
  Hallelujah. It is a very good thing to
• 12:01
  acknowledge God before men. Sometimes when God does great
• 12:07
  and mighty things through your life, men can sometimes mistaken
• 12:11
  it, because you are the visible part of that tag team.
• 12:16
  God by His Spirit is invisible, and so you are the one they see,
• 12:21
  and so they can credit to you but that which should come to
• 12:25
  you, and that which should come to God.
• 12:27
  And you must be wise enough to let them know very quickly that
• 12:31
  except the Lord builds a house, the builders labor in vain.
• 12:36
  Except the Lord watches over a city, the Watchmen watch it, but
• 12:40
  in vain. That it is vain to wake up early
• 12:42
  and to sleep late at night only to eat the bread of sorrow.
• 12:46
  That if you see a man advance, it is because the Lord has
• 12:49
  caused such a one to advance. The Lord bless us all in Jesus
• 12:53
  name. Hallelujah.
• 12:56
  The quick reminder that next week will be the second edition
• 12:59
  of Worship and Warfare. Hallelujah, it's been it was a
• 13:05
  phenomenal time last last month and please invite everyone.
• 13:11
  It's a prophetic instruction God gave us from last month to this
• 13:15
  month and then next month is going to be a supernatural time
• 13:20
  of encounter. Please invite everyone and let's
• 13:23
  trust God to do us good in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 13:28
  Hallelujah. Before we get to the world
• 13:31
  tonight, I want you to lay your hands on your head and cry for
• 13:35
  fruitful understanding. Fruitful understanding because
• 13:39
  what I want to share tonight, I wanted to penetrate the depths
• 13:43
  of your spirit. Would you lay your hands on your
• 13:45
  head and cry? Father, grant me understanding.
• 13:48
  The Bible declares the entrance of Your Word gives light, and it
• 13:52
  brings understanding onto the simple.
• 13:54
  My heart is open to receive understanding, to receive
• 13:57
  illumination by the Holy Spirit. I declare that there's no
• 14:03
  destruction, no confusion, no haziness of understanding.
• 14:08
  There's clarity, precision. The Word of God will come into
• 14:12
  my spirit as intended. In Jesus name we pray.
• 14:20
  Tonight's teaching, I believe, is one of those teachings I
• 14:26
  consider to be thought provoking.
• 14:27
  There are times that God speaks to a generation.
• 14:31
  There are times that God speaks to a people group.
• 14:34
  There are times that God speaks to an individual.
• 14:37
  There are times that God speaks prophetically to no one.
• 14:40
  Exactly, just waiting for seasons to define who exactly he
• 14:45
  was speaking to. And this is one of such nights
• 14:47
  where I believe God has desired by His grace to use us to speak
• 14:55
  to a generation. Tonight is a wake up call,
• 14:59
  tonight is a call to a higher level in the spirit and I'm
• 15:05
  praying in the name of Jesus Christ that from the start of
• 15:07
  this discussion up until the end that your spirit will be allowed
• 15:11
  to receive in Jesus name. We pray.
• 15:16
  I'm teaching tonight on the compelling power of mighty
• 15:20
  walks, the compelling power of mighty walks.
• 15:27
  I know by the Spirit that God desires to raise a generation of
• 15:32
  witnesses who have power, men and women who can give evidence
• 15:38
  to the gospel beyond arguments, beyond sarcasm, beyond
• 15:42
  controversy. The Lord by this teaching is
• 15:46
  restoring the Apostolic order of the Gospel so that we will go
• 15:52
  beyond a discourse that is merely intellectual and
• 15:58
  philosophical. God by this teaching wants to
• 16:02
  restore the body again to the place of intimacy where we can
• 16:08
  really get to know the Holy Spirit and draw afresh the
• 16:12
  riches of grace that is embedded when we press to know Him.
• 16:17
  Father, our hearts are opened. Bless us in Jesus name, the
• 16:21
  compelling power of mighty works.
• 16:25
  First Corinthians chapter 4 and verse 21st Corinthians chapter 4
• 16:31
  and verse 20. For the Kingdom of God is not in
• 16:34
  Word but in power, full stop. The Kingdom of God is not in
• 16:42
  Word but in power. Other versions who say in the
• 16:47
  demonstration of power. Second Scripture.
• 16:53
  Mark 6/1 and two. Mark 6/1 and two.
• 17:00
  And he went out from fence, and came into his own country, and
• 17:05
  the disciples follow him. Verse 2 And when the Sabbath day
• 17:11
  was come, he began to teach. Notice he began to teach in the
• 17:17
  synagogue. And many, hearing his teaching,
• 17:20
  were astonished, saying, From whence had this man these
• 17:24
  things? And what wisdom is this which is
• 17:28
  given unto him, that even such mighty walks were wrought by His
• 17:34
  hands, His mouth teaching, His hands performing mighty
• 17:39
  miracles, His mouth declaring the counsel of God, His hands
• 17:43
  performing mighty works. Scripture #3 John chapter 14
• 17:50
  will read from verse 8 and will end at 11.
• 17:55
  Take note of these foundational scriptures, John, chapter 14, 8
• 18:00
  and then we'll end at 11. Can we read it from NIV?
• 18:03
  Please give us the NIV rendition of this portion of Scripture.
• 18:08
  NIV. Thank you, Phillip said.
• 18:11
  Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us. 9
• 18:16
  Jesus answered, Don't you know me, Philip?
• 18:19
  Even after I have been among you for such a long time?
• 18:22
  Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.
• 18:26
  How can you say show us the Father?
• 18:28
  This is Jesus responding to Philip.
• 18:30
  Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father
• 18:34
  is in me? The words I say unto you, I did
• 18:38
  not speak it on my own authority, rather it is the
• 18:42
  Father living in me who is doing the work, doing the work, not
• 18:48
  just saying the things, doing the work.
• 18:51
  Verse 11 he says, believe me when I say that I am in the
• 18:56
  Father and the Father is in me. But in case you refuse to
• 19:02
  believe because I'm a person of integrity, it says believe on
• 19:07
  the evidence of the works themselves.
• 19:11
  Meaning if my person is not compelling a witness enough for
• 19:14
  you, believe because of the evidence of the works
• 19:20
  themselves. One last scripture, John chapter
• 19:24
  4 and verse 48 John 448 Then set Jesus unto him.
• 19:36
  Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
• 19:44
  Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
• 19:52
  Alleluia. So let me begin my discussion
• 19:56
  tonight by immediately bringing diagnosing.
• 20:02
  What I believe is a growing problem with the way the gospel
• 20:09
  is served, particularly in today's world.
• 20:12
  There are two sides to the communication of the gospel.
• 20:17
  In fact, there are two sides to the ministry of the world.
• 20:21
  Generally speaking, there is the message or the doctrine or the
• 20:28
  communication of the world. Then there is the demonstration
• 20:33
  or the evidence of the world. So every time you are
• 20:36
  ministering the world, whether it is the gospel declaring the
• 20:40
  good news or teaching any other aspect of the Kingdom life, it's
• 20:44
  like a coin. A coin has two sides to it.
• 20:47
  The first side has to do with an effective communication of the
• 20:51
  message, an effective communication of the truth, an
• 20:57
  effective communication of the world.
• 21:00
  You see that. But there is another side giving
• 21:03
  evidence to the message, bringing demonstration to the
• 21:08
  message. And every time these two sides
• 21:12
  don't go hand in hand, there will be a problem with the
• 21:15
  potency of the ministry, the potency of the gospel.
• 21:20
  Who understands me already so far so that in carrying out what
• 21:25
  we call the witness or the ministry of the Word or the
• 21:29
  declaration of the gospel, God designed it to happen twofold #1
• 21:36
  is the communication of the Word.
• 21:39
  You need accuracy of understanding.
• 21:42
  You need doctrinal ground and balance to effectively
• 21:45
  communicate the gospel or to communicate the ministry of the
• 21:49
  Word. Generally, the purpose of
• 21:52
  communicating the ministry of the world is to bring
• 21:54
  understanding, to bring clarity, and to plant faith in the heart
• 21:58
  of the heroes. But that the gospel and the
• 22:01
  ministry of the world was never designed to stop just as an
• 22:05
  intelligent communication, not just a display of oratory, not
• 22:10
  just a theological or a philosophical dissertation, not
• 22:15
  even just a communication of thoughts that are true.
• 22:18
  It was never supposed to end just as a communication.
• 22:22
  It should start as a communication of truth, a
• 22:25
  divinely inspired idea about any aspect of the Kingdom life, but
• 22:29
  that eventually there must be the other side that brings
• 22:33
  balance to the ministry of the world, the communication of the
• 22:37
  gospel. That has to do with validation,
• 22:41
  that has to do with bringing witness and evidence to the
• 22:45
  things that you have said. So immediately we can see that
• 22:51
  the reason why the communication of the gospel seems to be
• 22:55
  important, especially in our world, in our generation today
• 22:59
  is because I think we have done a great job in terms of our
• 23:04
  doctrinal understanding, especially within the last 10
• 23:07
  years. I can use Nigeria for a case
• 23:09
  study. I think it's fair enough to say
• 23:12
  in the last 10 years, there has been a stronger emphasis on the
• 23:16
  power of doctrine, the power of a sound methodical understanding
• 23:23
  of the Kingdom, the gospel and the ways of God.
• 23:26
  And this is, this is a great commendation for preachers,
• 23:30
  preachers all around the nation, particularly sound teachers of
• 23:34
  the world. I think we have done well in
• 23:36
  helping the body of Christ attain A commendable level of
• 23:40
  maturity in terms of our understanding of the Kingdom
• 23:44
  life. Broadly speaking, any believer
• 23:47
  who is completely ignorant as to the ways of the Kingdom now is
• 23:51
  either a lazy believer or one who was unfortunate not being
• 23:56
  under a teaching priest. But even if you did not have the
• 23:59
  advantage of a teaching priest, the Internet, for an example,
• 24:02
  has provided an opportunity to catch up in terms of revelation
• 24:06
  knowledge. All it takes is for you to
• 24:08
  commit just a little diligence and in in a short time, you can
• 24:12
  gain a fair enough understanding about the Gospel and the ways of
• 24:17
  God. God has raised phenomenal
• 24:19
  teachers from Nigeria, from across Africa, people who have
• 24:24
  been able to be, you know, very coherent with your thoughts,
• 24:28
  communicating the gospel and doctrine in a way that is
• 24:31
  simple, intelligent, pragmatic, you know, very articulate
• 24:36
  presentation of the gospel. But whilst we have done well in
• 24:40
  terms of the communication of the gospel, we are gradually
• 24:45
  slipping away from ignoring the power component.
• 24:50
  So let me tell you what brought about a stronger emphasis on the
• 24:56
  teaching, ministry, doctrine and so on and so forth.
• 25:00
  Many people began their journey with encounters.
• 25:04
  They didn't even begin begin with reading the Bible.
• 25:06
  They just love the Lord and they started having all kinds of
• 25:09
  prophetic encounters. And there was a time in the
• 25:13
  church, in the body of Christ, even in Nigeria, and I'm talking
• 25:17
  of recent history, where there were people who were not sound
• 25:21
  in doctrine, but you could not deny the evidence of your
• 25:25
  encounters. They blindly went to the place
• 25:27
  of prayer and they interacted with angels, they interacted
• 25:31
  with different dimensions of the Holy Spirit, and they came with
• 25:35
  possibilities that they could not give a doctrinal explanation
• 25:39
  to, but it was undeniable that they had touched God.
• 25:43
  You see, so you found that people, a woman, for instance,
• 25:47
  would just tell you she went and prayed for 50 days and she
• 25:51
  cannot tell you the Scripture chapter, what verse what, but
• 25:54
  she will lay hands on everybody, burying, lay hands on someone,
• 25:57
  raise the dead. You could not deny the miracles.
• 26:00
  Now Satan saw that gap, that there was a press for intimacy
• 26:06
  and power, but there was a large gap in terms of doctrinal
• 26:10
  understanding. So what happened was that demon
• 26:13
  spirit slip through the ignorance, you see that now, and
• 26:17
  hijack something that was an authentic move of God, and it
• 26:21
  began to produce all kinds of prophetic aberrations.
• 26:24
  So people did not know when it was the Holy Ghost or it was a
• 26:28
  demon spirit, because that's the assignment of the strength of
• 26:31
  doctrine and the world. Are you learning now?
• 26:34
  So several people started coming up with experiences.
• 26:37
  People started opening for an example and not to mock prayer
• 26:40
  houses and they just said look that Mama can pray for the sick,
• 26:44
  she can and the woman will not tell you anything verse
• 26:47
  anything. She would just say in the name
• 26:49
  of Jesus be healed and you will see strange miracles happening.
• 26:53
  And Satan hijacked that move of God.
• 26:56
  And to correct that move, there was an immediate response from
• 27:00
  heaven, the rise of teachers and Apostolic voices to balance
• 27:05
  those prophetic things. Please listen carefully.
• 27:08
  And men and women began to rise and say, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 27:11
  Not every supernatural experience is of God.
• 27:13
  Let's open the Bible. That Berean spirit rested upon
• 27:16
  the body of Christ in such a strong way.
• 27:19
  And some people, people were persecuted and mocked, but
• 27:22
  eventually many stood their ground and it opened the body of
• 27:26
  Christ to the fact that listen, listen, don't be carried away by
• 27:31
  the supernatural experiences. Let us probe diligently.
• 27:35
  And in probing truly, it was discovered that for many people
• 27:39
  there was already a mixing of the wine.
• 27:42
  Their spirits were aligned to both the Holy Ghost and demon
• 27:45
  spirit. They said yes, Lord, to every
• 27:47
  voice that spoke to them. So in prophesying you would see
• 27:50
  the person who prophecy accurately 1 moment and you will
• 27:53
  bear witness that this came from God.
• 27:56
  And the next moment you see them speaking and you know that this
• 27:58
  is Beelzebub speaking, not the Spirit of God.
• 28:01
  And the person who was the vessel did not know the
• 28:03
  difference because there was no doctrinal strength.
• 28:06
  There was no word balance. Who is understanding this now?
• 28:09
  And then God began to raise teaching strong teachers,
• 28:15
  Apostolic teachers, prophetic teachers, who began to bring
• 28:19
  honor to to restore honor, I would say to the supremacy of
• 28:23
  the word of God. Are we together?
• 28:26
  This gave credence to probe every spiritual experience,
• 28:31
  whether it's the ministry of the Holy Spirit, whether it's
• 28:34
  prayer, every operation of the Spirit came under the word radar
• 28:38
  for probing. And in probing that a lot of
• 28:41
  blessings came out of that move because many people would have
• 28:45
  been destroyed. But because the light of the
• 28:47
  Word came, they suddenly realized that many experience
• 28:51
  they admired were not of God from the lens of Scripture.
• 28:55
  Many things they believed were not doctrinally consistent with
• 28:59
  the character of Scripture. Now here's the problem.
• 29:02
  After a while, the teaching ministry, prophetic teaching
• 29:07
  ministry, Apostolic ministry began to grow and the strength
• 29:11
  of doctrine began to increase and we did not know when.
• 29:16
  What happened to the scribes now started happening to the
• 29:19
  teaching ministry because they started as a generation of
• 29:22
  Revelation teachers but began to delve into pure intellectualism.
• 29:28
  Are we together now? And what happens there is that
• 29:31
  Satan tries to extract the component in the gospel that
• 29:35
  carries power, and he leaves you to keep saying any other thing.
• 29:38
  So right now the Church is in another side of the pendulum.
• 29:43
  There is intelligence in the Church like never before.
• 29:46
  I mean, all you need to do is just sit for a few minutes and
• 29:49
  you will share a communication of doctrine and scripture
• 29:53
  dimensions of Kingdom reality. But it did not occur to us that
• 29:58
  while we were about balancing what was supposedly an
• 30:02
  incomplete move, we have created another imbalance because the
• 30:05
  power component was gently extracted.
• 30:10
  And right now there are so many correct things we say, but the
• 30:14
  grace to prove them is no longer there.
• 30:18
  So the only way we have resorted to managing that is number 1, to
• 30:24
  tell lies and exaggerate testimonies on stage because we
• 30:28
  have to convince the people is working and they know something
• 30:31
  is wrong with our weakness because the power component is
• 30:34
  missing. Or #2 to perpetually keep making
• 30:38
  reference to those who worked in authentic power as a way of just
• 30:42
  adding the power component. And so every time we're talking
• 30:45
  about Apostle Babal Allah, every time we're talking about
• 30:48
  Archbishop Bets in the HOSA, thank God for them.
• 30:51
  Every time we're talking about all these men as if the Holy
• 30:54
  Ghost that empowered them is no longer in the church, as if the
• 30:57
  graces that empower them is no longer in the church, We talk
• 31:00
  about God's General William Brown.
• 31:02
  You know all these men as though those dimensions have suddenly
• 31:06
  been missing, unknown to us. That those things are a human
• 31:11
  way of trying to remedy for the absence of power.
• 31:24
  The Bible says the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the
• 31:28
  latter days some shall depart from the faith and that they
• 31:33
  shall give heed to seducing spirits and the doctrine of
• 31:38
  demons, two things that will give heed to look for that
• 31:41
  scripture for us. The Spirit speaketh expressly
• 31:44
  First Timothy 4 and verse one. It says that in the latter times
• 31:48
  some, not all shall depart from the faith.
• 31:52
  It's called apostasy, a departure from God's patterns,
• 31:57
  and it says they will do that by giving heed to two kinds of
• 32:00
  errors #1 seducing spirits and #2 the doctrine of devils.
• 32:06
  Now, the teaching ministry has corrected the issue of the
• 32:09
  doctrine of devils. But there is one other part we
• 32:13
  have not addressed, the seduction.
• 32:16
  What is this? Seduction is based on something
• 32:19
  that is an inherent desire in you.
• 32:22
  Seduction cannot work until there is an inherent desire in
• 32:26
  you. Are we together?
• 32:28
  Is someone following so far? He says they will give heed to
• 32:31
  seducing spirits and the doctrine of devils.
• 32:42
  It's a painful reality today watching our crusades.
• 32:46
  It's a painful reality today watching our communication of
• 32:50
  the gospel. On the one hand, we cannot deny
• 32:54
  the might of knowledge, the might of intellect, the might of
• 32:58
  doctrinal understanding that's invested in our communicating
• 33:03
  the gospel. I mean, even for those who are
• 33:06
  not in Christ, they are. They are.
• 33:08
  They are all struck by by our ability to conjure words, to put
• 33:14
  thoughts together, our ability to run through scripture with
• 33:18
  with, with the mastery of an artist from Genesis to
• 33:22
  Revelation. We play around with words and
• 33:24
  scripture and they nod in admiration.
• 33:27
  But now when it has to do with giving evidence and giving
• 33:31
  witness to the things that we have said.
• 33:33
  So we talk for hours that God heals and we wrap up the service
• 33:37
  with no one healed. We talk for hours that God
• 33:39
  delivers. And there are people carrying
• 33:41
  all kinds of spirits and conditions and we walk away.
• 33:44
  We talk, we say all kinds of things.
• 33:47
  We stimulate the appetite and the desire of the people, like a
• 33:50
  fig tree having leaves but no fruits.
• 33:53
  The people are thirsty. The people need the miracles.
• 33:58
  As we speak they find rest, hopeful rest, believing that
• 34:03
  their problems have come to an end and we share the grace and
• 34:06
  you can watch the disappointment on their face.
• 34:09
  They say God bless you man of God.
• 34:10
  You see them going back home with a truthful information but
• 34:15
  without validation to it is someone learning and the
• 34:21
  consequence of robbing ourselves of the completion.
• 34:26
  This two sided mandate of strong doctrinal communication and then
• 34:30
  backing it up with power and evidence.
• 34:33
  Not once in a while, Not one out of many consistent demonstration
• 34:39
  of power. The trouble there is that
• 34:42
  subconsciously people are now used to a gospel that does not
• 34:46
  carry power. People are now used to the
• 34:48
  ministry of the world without the possibility of any divine
• 34:52
  backing as an evidence. It's a subconscious thing.
• 34:56
  They have watched or say God bless you and nothing happened.
• 34:59
  They have watched or say rise up and walk and nothing happened.
• 35:01
  They have watched or say may this week be a blessing and
• 35:04
  nothing changed. They have seen how powerless,
• 35:07
  how important. Our words, even through the
• 35:09
  communications, are truthful, but there's no evidence, no
• 35:13
  validity to it. And it's affected people
• 35:16
  psychologically. And this is what today has
• 35:19
  extended as the boldness that the unbelieving community can
• 35:23
  get up and challenge men of God and challenge churches and
• 35:27
  boldly say a lot of things. And you see how the sarcasm over
• 35:32
  the church has become a product today that makes people wealthy,
• 35:37
  that a man can get up literally, and create a program.
• 35:41
  And the program, the theme of the program is sarcasm against
• 35:44
  the church and it will sell because you find people
• 35:47
  commenting. It's true.
• 35:48
  You are right. I'm a member.
• 35:50
  I hope my pastor can hear this. You are right.
• 35:54
  They don't have the boldness to say that when we are preaching,
• 35:57
  but at least the social media and other platforms can give
• 36:00
  them an opportunity to vent their frustration.
• 36:03
  And let me tell you this, another consequence to this is
• 36:06
  that people are returning back to their vomit.
• 36:09
  Most people are going back to to traditional or cultic practices
• 36:15
  because they cannot see the difference again.
• 36:18
  To them, they say when we bow down to that tree, it protected
• 36:22
  us and they were proofs. Are we together?
• 36:26
  When we carried our baby and wrapped the baby around and
• 36:30
  chanted all kinds of demonic things, the baby was protected,
• 36:33
  the house caught fire, but the baby did not die.
• 36:36
  They have their stories, they have their evidence.
• 36:39
  Now you come to tell them, do not practice idol, practice idol
• 36:42
  worship, come to the God of all flesh.
• 36:45
  And they say, I have had your message, but where is the proof?
• 36:49
  And we say, don't worry, proof does not matter.
• 36:51
  The most important thing is the message.
• 36:53
  They say you think I'm stupid. If proof did not matter, why did
• 36:57
  Jesus resurrect? Because his message was already
• 37:00
  truthful while he was alive. Why did he resurrect then?
• 37:03
  He would have just died and said believe.
• 37:12
  Is someone learning now? And so the various dimensions
• 37:16
  around the church that are responsible directly.
• 37:20
  They are products of power. We, we create a theology to
• 37:24
  trivialize it. And I'm saying this with all due
• 37:27
  respect. So to the one who does not have
• 37:30
  crowds, he says there's no, there's no, it's not about
• 37:32
  crowds. Even if it's just one person,
• 37:35
  there is a power problem. Sir, take responsibility.
• 37:39
  To the one who does not see miracles, say no, it's not about
• 37:41
  miracles. Just listen to the Word, the one
• 37:46
  who tries and tries and the grace for finances is not there.
• 37:49
  He said it doesn't matter. So we we trivialize the things
• 37:53
  that the conviction of men depend on and wonder why they
• 37:57
  don't believe. If you cannot reveal a healing
• 38:01
  Jesus, if you cannot reveal A delivering Jesus, if you cannot
• 38:05
  reveal a loving Jesus, then you call him Father, then you say He
• 38:09
  lived, and then you wonder why men do not come to Him.
• 38:15
  History is full of men and women of God.
• 38:17
  Many of them have joined the cloud of witnesses today.
• 38:20
  They went to bear witness to the gospel.
• 38:22
  They carried an accurate message.
• 38:24
  They were not fake, but they returned back disappointed
• 38:28
  because one part of the gospel was done well, a sound
• 38:31
  communication of truth. They said Jesus died is the
• 38:35
  truth. They said it rose again is the
• 38:37
  truth. And men looked at them and they
• 38:39
  said, where is the evidence today?
• 38:44
  I like Elijah. He said, we're wasting time on
• 38:47
  this thing. Let's go up the mountain.
• 38:49
  This thing can be settled once and for all.
• 38:51
  If Baal be God, serve him. If God be God, serve him.
• 38:55
  He says, you know what, let me give you an opportunity.
• 38:58
  You know, almost every denomination I know, with all
• 39:00
  due respect, has talked about the mighty things that
• 39:03
  Archbishop Benny the Hosa did. Remember the witch festival?
• 39:07
  It has become a chorus. Witches have not stopped.
• 39:11
  Why has the story not continued? Do you know the church is
• 39:24
  delving out of the realm of power to a point that every time
• 39:28
  we see something that is a bit above the supernatural, a part
• 39:35
  of us knows that it should be, But the intellectual side is
• 39:38
  saying, is this of God? We're already getting into
• 39:41
  trouble. It seems more fashionable to
• 39:46
  just remain as a spiritual intellectual than to contend for
• 39:50
  the other side, the power component.
• 39:53
  And let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, if we miss out on
• 39:56
  this pattern of a sound doctrinal foundation backed up
• 40:00
  with power, power, provable power that can evidence, do you
• 40:05
  know the average understanding of the Pentecostal display of
• 40:10
  power is falling under the anointing, We're in big trouble.
• 40:14
  If that is what we want to stand to challenge idols and challenge
• 40:18
  shrines, what do you have as proof?
• 40:21
  And the man disappears in front of you and says meet me
• 40:24
  somewhere And he said what is your own proof?
• 40:28
  He said I have a video of someone who fell down under the
• 40:30
  anointing and that means we're in trouble.
• 40:37
  Hallelujah. It's true.
• 40:41
  I have AI wouldn't mention the state but in this same nation
• 40:45
  there was a man that was purported.
• 40:47
  You don't see him, he tells you where to meet him.
• 40:51
  Nobody knows where he lives. A demonic 1.
• 40:55
  Not a Christian is a non Christian a strong man.
• 40:59
  Once you see him there's a sacrifice you offer.
• 41:02
  I can't sell the person who met him the animal, and whatever you
• 41:06
  bring before the person disappears before your eyes.
• 41:09
  Not a vision. Once it disappears, they said
• 41:11
  the man has accepted it. The medium will now tell you
• 41:14
  meet him here. You will enter an empty room and
• 41:16
  find him sitting there. I'm not talking of a spirit,
• 41:19
  somebody who has a mother. The mother is alive, the father
• 41:22
  is alive. Now you go and preach the gospel
• 41:24
  to that man as an evangelist from Koinonia.
• 41:27
  And you go and stand there and say, Mister Man, listen, I know.
• 41:31
  Let me give you the Greek word for gospel.
• 41:34
  Let me give you the Hebrew word for science and wonders.
• 41:37
  I'm not being sarcastic. And the man will watch you.
• 41:42
  He will first clap his hand as you are talking and say your
• 41:45
  prayer. Now is that you go out safely.
• 41:52
  Let me tell you a story that happened.
• 41:53
  True story. Back then in Zarya, I prayed for
• 41:57
  a lady. Now, her family had been
• 41:59
  involved in a lot of diabolic things.
• 42:02
  Do you know when I prayed for this lady, she met this man I'm
• 42:07
  talking about. After they visited me and I
• 42:11
  counseled them and I was to meet with them again, this lady went
• 42:15
  home and slept. That man came to her in the
• 42:18
  sleep and said who did you go and meet and threaten her and
• 42:26
  say if you do whatever they will kill you and all of that.
• 42:28
  And by the next day they were supposed to come with the family
• 42:30
  and the lady refused. She said I know what I saw, it
• 42:33
  was not a dream. The man appeared to me and said
• 42:36
  you go there again, you are dead.
• 42:44
  I've prayed for people who went. I don't know if he was looking
• 42:46
  for money or looking for love at one of those, but they took them
• 42:49
  to a graveyard. True story.
• 42:53
  Either money or love. It has to be one of these two.
• 42:55
  I can't remember the story. I mean what I'm saying.
• 42:58
  I think they were looking at something that has to do with
• 43:02
  either the finances or maybe some.
• 43:05
  Yeah, now watch this. I mean what I'm saying.
• 43:10
  They took them to the grave and they lay down there for days.
• 43:14
  The last step of the ritual was something I would not mention
• 43:18
  here. And the ladies now said, no,
• 43:20
  this, this one, you've gone too far.
• 43:21
  We've, we've bent over backwards.
• 43:24
  And the man swore to them, not this man, I'm talking about
• 43:27
  another herbalist. He swore to them that if they
• 43:30
  walk out of that place and walk out of him that they will run
• 43:33
  mad. Do you know, one of them started
• 43:35
  behaving as if they were not even fine.
• 43:38
  Those days. I used to do counseling, I think
• 43:40
  it was Mondays or so. And that was when they brought
• 43:42
  those people and they came openly part of the charm that
• 43:46
  they are started conjuring. They brought it and and dropped
• 43:49
  it to me. You said God sent you here.
• 43:53
  It is not what to do with it. Well, now we're going.
• 43:57
  It is at that time you will know whether you have the power
• 44:00
  component or you just have Greek or Hebrew, because I tell you
• 44:05
  this not to glorify the devil. If you do not have a superior
• 44:09
  dimension of God's power, you will see the power of darkness
• 44:12
  walk in a way that will shock you.
• 44:14
  Believe me on that, believe me on that Hallelujah.
• 44:22
  Have you not heard of evangelist that go that went for crusades
• 44:25
  and by the next day their leg they could not move again.
• 44:28
  They went to preach Jesus and the people were warning them go
• 44:31
  away. The last person who came here
• 44:33
  died. They said no, I I'm not ashamed
• 44:36
  of the gospel. And after talking English, by
• 44:38
  the next day their hand, they could not lift it again.
• 44:42
  And they say it's like that. We know the person who did it.
• 44:47
  I pray that there will be a restoration of power, genuine
• 44:51
  power beyond falling down. The grace that will it will
• 44:55
  dumbfound principalities and powers in the name of Jesus.
• 45:00
  That we will speak and issue a command from one point and it
• 45:04
  will reverberate the realms of darkness and captives will be
• 45:08
  set free in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 45:13
  Hallelujah. I've not lived for too long, but
• 45:20
  my goodness, I've seen people who carry the power of God.
• 45:24
  I've seen all kinds of supernatural dimensions.
• 45:27
  I once watched the video of Charles and Francis Hunter.
• 45:30
  They were having lunch and somebody who they invited had a
• 45:34
  cross eye. What a medical condition that
• 45:37
  they call a cross eye. And while they were eating, she
• 45:40
  just noticed that the person's eyes crossed.
• 45:42
  I said, wow, your eyes crossed. Can we fix it for you then?
• 45:46
  Then it was corrected and they continued eating.
• 45:51
  Now please, you explain this to me.
• 45:59
  Here's what a generation with no power sinks without
• 46:02
  understanding. If he did it before and we keep
• 46:05
  nodding, he will do it again. Hold on.
• 46:09
  And God is saying, I want to do it again, don't let the world
• 46:12
  question my power. And we sing it as a special
• 46:16
  number and drop the mic. But there is no life and there
• 46:19
  is no power. Benny, he was speaking and he
• 46:23
  said one of the things that compelled him from his
• 46:27
  background to begin to seek the supernatural was that he was
• 46:31
  invited and he was told that Katherine Kuhlman was going to
• 46:34
  have a meeting, but that the person who told him the meeting
• 46:37
  was morning. And he said by three, we have to
• 46:40
  leave if we want to get a seat. If you don't leave by three,
• 46:45
  there will not be a seat. He said, what kind of person is
• 46:47
  that, someone coming to preach and people leave their homes by
• 46:52
  three in the morning in that cold For what?
• 46:56
  What is so special about the person?
• 46:58
  And then he said he went there, They took him early.
• 47:00
  As soon as he got there, Catherine Coleman was not yet
• 47:03
  there. It was like a cold sensation.
• 47:06
  And all through the meeting, he was shaking like a leaf.
• 47:09
  Power, Sir, you know many of my teachings tonight, all the
• 47:21
  thoughts that I'll be communicating, please do not see
• 47:23
  them as communications of sarcasm.
• 47:26
  I'm just provoking you. I love the body of Christ.
• 47:29
  How many testimonies have we said in church and we cannot
• 47:33
  find the people who had it? There are times we boldly come,
• 47:38
  and this is the body of Christ. We're not bringing reproach to
• 47:41
  it, but you'll find us make all kinds of audacious statements.
• 47:46
  05 people rose up from the dead, and they are not your members
• 47:50
  and their family members did not come to you.
• 47:52
  Do you know what reasons the dead is about?
• 47:56
  Verified medically and nobody, they did not come to you and the
• 48:00
  doctors that verified them are not your members.
• 48:03
  Come on now. We have cheapened a lot of
• 48:06
  spiritual things with stories and sometimes sincerely.
• 48:10
  I think it's just a weakness in men of God has eaten vessels to
• 48:14
  have to look for a story to make the people believe.
• 48:17
  But if you have the Spirit of God, you will know that the man
• 48:20
  is not fake, but the story is a lie.
• 48:23
  That story is not true. If it's a genuine story that
• 48:27
  carries the power of God, there's boldness to it.
• 48:29
  When Peter healed the man, I'd get beautiful.
• 48:32
  Everybody knew the man was I'd get beautiful.
• 48:35
  Are we together? Everybody who gets healed has
• 48:37
  family members, has relatives. More so we live in a world where
• 48:41
  things are online. Where are all the dead bodies
• 48:44
  that nobody can see them? None of the dead bodies became a
• 48:47
  preacher. I'm not trying to be sarcastic,
• 48:50
  I'm just saying there is no point faking what can be real.
• 48:55
  We need to restore authentic, provable power.
• 48:58
  This man got up from the wheelchair.
• 49:00
  This is him. Today, two weeks after that day,
• 49:03
  he's still standing. The doctors can confirm it.
• 49:06
  Jesus is Lord. That's a witness that is
• 49:08
  incontestable. We have a mandate, ladies and
• 49:17
  gentlemen. We have done well fulfilling one
• 49:20
  side of the mandate, the doctrinal component of the
• 49:23
  mandate, a strong exergence of the world by the grace of God.
• 49:28
  Most churches today that have a great appreciation for the
• 49:32
  healing ministry or the the teaching ministry.
• 49:35
  They are safe enough for the average believer to sit there
• 49:39
  and learn doctrine. And then because of the power of
• 49:42
  interdependence within the body, the sides that are missing can
• 49:45
  be covered up by another dimension of grace supply.
• 49:49
  But the part that is really missing in the body of Christ, I
• 49:52
  am telling you, is the power that that gives witness.
• 49:55
  The Bible says, but for the Kingdom of God is not in Word
• 50:00
  but in power. The Kingdom of God is not in
• 50:05
  Word, the Kingdom of God is in power.
• 50:11
  Bearing witness to the gospel was never supposed to stop at
• 50:15
  philosophies and eloquent or truthful words.
• 50:20
  Another side of the mandate was to present the evidences that
• 50:24
  validates the gospel. The evidence of transformation,
• 50:28
  the evidence of growth, the evidence of real deliverance,
• 50:31
  the evidence of healing, the evidence of the supernatural,
• 50:35
  the evidence of conversion, the evidence of raising
• 50:38
  irresponsible people. These are the evidences that
• 50:42
  should back the gospel. The only evidence we have most
• 50:47
  times that we have had the gospel are our notes.
• 50:51
  Our notes are the only proof that we were in that service,
• 50:55
  not the mighty works that come from our lives.
• 51:02
  Who is learning? So there is a gross need to
• 51:05
  bring back a balance between doctrine and power, a balance
• 51:11
  between the message and the evidence that validates its
• 51:16
  truthfulness. This is the first thing I want
• 51:21
  us to get tonight, that there is a Clarion call again by the
• 51:26
  Spirit of God. There needs to be an emergence
• 51:29
  of a generation of men and women who have really touched the
• 51:33
  authentic power of the Spirit. Not just men who can teach about
• 51:37
  power, not just men who who celebrate power within the scope
• 51:43
  of falling down in church. Those things only make sense to
• 51:47
  us, to those who are, To a woman whose children are dying in the
• 51:51
  hospital, you're falling down means nothing to them.
• 51:54
  Go and get that cancer patient out of the hospital now you are
• 51:57
  speaking their language. Hallelujah.
• 52:02
  Praise the name of the Lord. I believe a generation is going
• 52:06
  to rise of men and women, not just preachers, a generation of
• 52:11
  well mentored preachers, well mentored witnesses, well
• 52:16
  mentored businessmen, well mentored professionals who will
• 52:20
  not only trap the intelligence of the world, but they will
• 52:23
  carry the power component and they will invade the cosmos in
• 52:26
  such a way that will bring glory to the name of the Lord.
• 52:29
  I believe that in our lifetime nations will be saved in one day
• 52:33
  because there will be such a spectacular display of not just
• 52:36
  the wisdom of God, but the power that gives witness, that gives
• 52:40
  validation in a way that dumbfounds principality and
• 52:44
  powers. You believe that shout?
• 52:46
  Amen. Someone say I receive power like
• 52:50
  you are serious say I receive power.
• 52:54
  Ladies and gentlemen haven't established that we need to
• 52:57
  bring completion to that mandate.
• 52:59
  It is word and power. It is doctrine and power.
• 53:03
  It is sound scriptural communication and then the
• 53:06
  evidence that backs it. The next thing I want to teach
• 53:10
  you is that genuine power, Apostolic power, the power that
• 53:16
  brings science and wonders, the power that transforms nations,
• 53:20
  has a price. It is not a gift.
• 53:23
  There is a price for real spiritual power.
• 53:28
  There is a price for the healing anointing.
• 53:32
  There is a price for the grace, all be it is by the world, but
• 53:37
  there is a price. And this is 1 area that we have
• 53:41
  trivialized because of the consciousness of things like the
• 53:46
  finished work of Christ. And don't get me wrong, that
• 53:49
  remains true doctrinally true. But because we have not brought
• 53:53
  balance to our understanding, we have trivialized the fact that
• 53:58
  there is a real price to spiritual power.
• 54:01
  And even those who know that there is a price to spiritual
• 54:05
  power do not really know what the price is.
• 54:08
  It's one thing to know that there is a price, but it's one
• 54:11
  thing to know the real price. You can create an assumed price
• 54:16
  for it, but there is a price. And I want to run not
• 54:22
  elaborately talking about so many things.
• 54:25
  I want to show you the real price for spiritual power, The
• 54:30
  kind of power that can cause a vessel to host God in an unusual
• 54:35
  way. The kind of power that can cause
• 54:38
  a vessel to host the divine, to host the anointing in a way that
• 54:42
  is undeniable, in a way that is incontestable.
• 54:46
  More so when you have a strong doctrinal foundation, when you
• 54:50
  have a strong understanding of the Word of God, the principles
• 54:55
  of the Kingdom. You will become such an
• 54:57
  effective witness when you have a long like that word component,
• 55:02
  the power you see most times you find, with all due respect,
• 55:07
  witnesses and preachers, I would say, who are strong in the area
• 55:11
  of communicating the truth of God's Word, but there's no
• 55:14
  evidence. And then you find usually among
• 55:18
  the prophetic and the Apostolic men and women who can validate
• 55:22
  the gospel. I'm not talking about people who
• 55:24
  are fake. I'm not talking about people who
• 55:26
  are diabolic, genuine people who have encountered the God of the
• 55:30
  Bible. But they can.
• 55:31
  The wisdom component is not there.
• 55:34
  So they can work science and wonders, they can work
• 55:37
  supernatural miracles, but they cannot explain it and so they
• 55:41
  cannot replicate it. The end time witnesses that will
• 55:45
  have to be effective in communicating the gospel are
• 55:49
  those who will balance doctrine and power, wisdom and power, the
• 55:54
  message and the evidence that backs that message.
• 55:57
  And I believe with all my heart I just described you, that you
• 56:01
  will communicate the wisdom of the Word, strength of doctrine,
• 56:05
  strength of understanding, a sound, exigencies of the Word,
• 56:09
  that you will understand Scripture and the ways of God in
• 56:12
  a way that dumbfounds principles and powers.
• 56:15
  And then everything you say you will prove.
• 56:18
  This is a generation that will not just talk.
• 56:21
  Gone are the days of a talkative generation.
• 56:23
  Here comes a generation of men and women who will say few
• 56:27
  things and demonstrate it with such tremendous power.
• 56:32
  I have found out that every time power is available, words do not
• 56:37
  need to be many. The abundance of high sounding
• 56:42
  words many times are an attempt to cover the power gap.
• 56:49
  I heard Reinhard Bonkers messages many times and
• 56:52
  sometimes you could summarize the message in simple words.
• 56:55
  Jesus is Lord, He loves you, His power is here to prove it.
• 56:59
  Get out of the way and by the time you see the signs and
• 57:02
  wonders, you see people who are not educated.
• 57:05
  You see people who are not. Because sometimes you see the
• 57:08
  way we teach the world. Only educated people can come to
• 57:11
  Jesus. The current way we sell the
• 57:15
  gospel. High sounding intellectual
• 57:17
  display of knowledge. That's wonderful.
• 57:19
  But what about the person in the village?
• 57:21
  What about the person who did not have the privilege to go to
• 57:24
  school? What about the young boy who is
• 57:26
  on drugs? What about the boy who has made
• 57:29
  himself an altar to darkness and yet he's not educated and
• 57:33
  intellectually coherent enough to understand our high
• 57:37
  speakings? Imagine if you stood before
• 57:42
  Jarius or Jarius daughter. Imagine if you stood before the
• 57:47
  woman at the well and said, Madam, you've been in this
• 57:49
  condition for how long? And she says 12 years.
• 57:51
  Man of God, I have spent all my money on doctors and you say,
• 57:55
  oh, I know what the problem is. You are not consistent in your
• 58:00
  fasting. You're not consistent in your
• 58:02
  prayer. I see the problem.
• 58:04
  You have dishonored the anointing somewhere anyway.
• 58:07
  God is able to heal you. I want you to know that Jesus is
• 58:10
  a healing. She said, I know, that's why I
• 58:12
  came to you. And I said, well you know what,
• 58:14
  you just keep believing. Release your faith.
• 58:16
  Your faith is not yet at the level that brings the miracle.
• 58:19
  Imagine how disappointed the woman with the issue of blood
• 58:22
  is. Or imagine that you went to the
• 58:24
  House of the centurion and you come in there as a witness of
• 58:27
  Jesus and they say, OK, please come and raise this person from
• 58:30
  the dead. And he said, no, no, no, she's
• 58:32
  sleeping. And after they laugh at you, he
• 58:34
  say, you know what? It's all right, let's, let's see
• 58:37
  what we can do. God heals.
• 58:40
  I know that he's a resurrection and the life.
• 58:41
  I know that. And the Greek word for
• 58:44
  resurrection is a nazar to, to come back to revive.
• 58:49
  It's OK. Well, well, we don't understand,
• 58:50
  but we are testy. Let this guy come back to life.
• 58:54
  And afterwards we demonstrate all kinds of things and walk out
• 58:58
  get disappointed. Do you know most preachers get
• 59:10
  afraid when they see people who are sick and lame as part of
• 59:14
  those coming to church? We're not even.
• 59:17
  We don't even want those people to come early and sit.
• 59:19
  Ways of yours are invisible. What happens when they are not
• 59:22
  healed? Let them stand somewhere.
• 59:24
  If they're healed, that's fine. No.
• 59:29
  Do you know there was a time in church history where a woman, a
• 59:36
  woman of God, had what they call stretcher only service?
• 59:40
  Meaning if you are not sick, you are not invited in that service.
• 59:44
  So the service was for only those who were sick.
• 59:48
  And they line all of them. And then she comes in and
• 59:53
  sometimes before the sermon starts the mighty move of the
• 59:57
  Spirit, those who have been demonized.
• 59:59
  Not everybody will walk in that dimension, but everybody can
• 1:00:03
  carry power. For God's sake, everybody can
• 1:00:06
  carry power. Are we together?
• 1:00:09
  Power that can help people solve.
• 1:00:11
  Now, let me make a very bold statement here.
• 1:00:14
  Listen to me. Let's be careful that as we
• 1:00:18
  teach people on the laws and the principles of finances, let's
• 1:00:22
  not forget the fact that God helps men.
• 1:00:25
  There are people in trouble that no business idea can bring them
• 1:00:29
  out. They are already dying in a
• 1:00:32
  financial ICU. There is no amount of Harvard,
• 1:00:36
  Yale, Stanford knowledge that will bring them out.
• 1:00:39
  They need it by this time tomorrow.
• 1:00:41
  Dimension of grace. When they come out, then you can
• 1:00:44
  now teach them. You believe this.
• 1:00:47
  Imagine if we were in Samaria. I know what Joshua Selma would
• 1:00:50
  have told the king. There are financial principles
• 1:00:53
  that can help Samaria. You make careless financial
• 1:00:56
  decisions and, and it may be true, but right now, all King,
• 1:01:00
  you need to come up with a 15 year old plan.
• 1:01:02
  While women are eating their children.
• 1:01:05
  It didn't take them 15 years to eat their children.
• 1:01:09
  They needed help immediately. Let us not become so
• 1:01:12
  intellectual that we forget that God is supernatural.
• 1:01:16
  I will never endorse laziness. I will never endorse the people
• 1:01:20
  who fold their arms and say I wouldn't do anything.
• 1:01:23
  God will just bring money. But I will never become so
• 1:01:26
  intellectual that I forget that God can move mountains, that a
• 1:01:30
  fish can produce coin. A fish should not always produce
• 1:01:34
  coin, but it can. And where there is need, it
• 1:01:36
  will. We have empowered the devil by
• 1:01:46
  closing our minds away from the supernatural in a bid to balance
• 1:01:51
  the excesses of a false sense of the supernatural and spiritism
• 1:01:57
  and a lot of things that has produced a largely irresponsible
• 1:02:00
  generation. I agree.
• 1:02:02
  There are many, many people, many preachers, with all due
• 1:02:05
  respect, who have not taught young men and women to be
• 1:02:08
  responsible. And people just fold their arms.
• 1:02:11
  They won't look for a job, They say God will do it.
• 1:02:14
  They will learn relationship principles.
• 1:02:16
  They will say God will do it. They will not educate their
• 1:02:18
  mind, They say God will do it. So the imbalance is that when
• 1:02:22
  you don't understand doctrine, you don't understand a sound
• 1:02:25
  teaching of the world, you will become an irresponsible
• 1:02:29
  Christian whose life is largely superstitious.
• 1:02:33
  The man will not plan for the feast of his children.
• 1:02:36
  He will say God will do it. The wife will give him nine
• 1:02:39
  months notice being pregnant and he will be calling on everybody.
• 1:02:43
  I say can God use you to help me?
• 1:02:45
  I didn't plan that my wife will have ACS.
• 1:02:47
  I believe God supernaturally for a normal delivery.
• 1:02:50
  Now they say bring 500,000 for CS and he said no, I know it's
• 1:02:54
  not the will of God. Let's pray that she would
• 1:02:56
  deliver normally. Now, I, I know I mean, but
• 1:02:59
  should your wife die, then the woman dies because of pressure
• 1:03:05
  at childbirth and then we say with God that did it.
• 1:03:11
  So there's that one side. But the question I have for you
• 1:03:14
  today is can God move mountains? Is he a supernatural God?
• 1:03:20
  Can God help a man financially? Can God help a family?
• 1:03:24
  Why are we delving away and why are we becoming ashamed of the
• 1:03:29
  supernatural? We are not just scientists.
• 1:03:32
  We believe in science, but we believe in God because God made
• 1:03:36
  science. I believe in financial
• 1:03:43
  principles, but I believe in Jehovah Jireh.
• 1:03:47
  I believe in medicine, but I believe in the healing Jesus.
• 1:03:51
  Are we together? Yes, Sir.
• 1:03:56
  And if we are not careful, we will produce a generation that
• 1:04:01
  becomes sarcastic about power and the supernatural.
• 1:04:05
  And when that happens, we have come into the domain of Satan.
• 1:04:10
  The gospel will be stunted. The advancement of God's program
• 1:04:13
  will be stunted. Again.
• 1:04:16
  There is a balance. The balance on one hand is what
• 1:04:21
  God has been labouring by great vessels to correct through the
• 1:04:26
  years because until the emergence of doctrine and the
• 1:04:31
  sound teaching of the Word came over the last 10 years
• 1:04:34
  thereabout across several voices in Nigeria and Africa, there was
• 1:04:39
  already a casualty on its way happening.
• 1:04:42
  It was an emergence of irresponsible people who left
• 1:04:46
  everything to God. They would not be professionals
• 1:04:49
  in anything. They would not submit themselves
• 1:04:51
  to knowledge. They would not grow, they would
• 1:04:53
  not learn the principles. You see that they left
• 1:04:56
  everything to God. But the balance is that we have
• 1:04:59
  become a scientific generation. We have become an intellectual
• 1:05:03
  generation over dependence on intellect, and we do not believe
• 1:05:08
  in the advantage of the power of God.
• 1:05:10
  Let me call it generation. Tonight, in addition to the
• 1:05:13
  wisdom of God, in addition to the ways and the principles of
• 1:05:16
  the Kingdom, let me reintroduce to you again that God is still
• 1:05:20
  the God of power. Is someone learning?
• 1:05:24
  God is still the God of power. God is still the God of power.
• 1:05:31
  Power beyond church services, power beyond falling down and
• 1:05:35
  breaking benches, power that transforms territories that
• 1:05:39
  someone will stand up from here. And the day you go to visit
• 1:05:42
  someone who they say has been sick for a long time, as you
• 1:05:45
  knock that door, nobody will open, but you will hear a shout.
• 1:05:49
  Demons are coming out of the door because you have arrived
• 1:05:52
  and you are not passed or anything.
• 1:05:54
  You are just an effective witness.
• 1:05:56
  In fact, maybe you came to discuss business.
• 1:05:59
  But as you knock that door, you carry life.
• 1:06:01
  You carry power, the substance of the Kingdom.
• 1:06:07
  Come and manifest your power, oh God of signs and wonders.
• 1:06:18
  Save your Redeemer. Come manifest your power, oh God
• 1:06:28
  of signs and wonders, your Redeemer, manifest your power
• 1:06:39
  and manifest your power. For as long as we keep praying
• 1:06:49
  for sick people and they keep dying, for as long as we keep
• 1:06:53
  praying for people's situations and it does not change and there
• 1:06:57
  will come a generation will arise and say, I do not believe
• 1:07:00
  in your Jesus. I've given you enough time to
• 1:07:03
  prove that he's alive. You gave me the Greek and the
• 1:07:06
  Hebrew word that means life. And yet you did not show me the
• 1:07:10
  validity of a God that is alive. Or we need to restore power to
• 1:07:15
  the church, not talk about stories of power, not exaggerate
• 1:07:20
  stories that cannot be proven, testimonies that can be proven.
• 1:07:25
  That a critic can take it as a project wanting to mock the
• 1:07:30
  church. But you will go and find out the
• 1:07:33
  truth because there is nothing to hide.
• 1:07:35
  The man really rose from the dead.
• 1:07:37
  The baby really came back to life.
• 1:07:39
  The crippled man really got off from the wheelchair.
• 1:07:42
  There is nothing to hide when you are telling the truth.
• 1:07:44
  There is no point doctoring the story if it really happened.
• 1:07:48
  If it not happen, it did not happen.
• 1:07:50
  It's as simple as that. Peter's mother was sick of a
• 1:07:58
  fever and Jesus stepped into the room.
• 1:08:01
  He said, well, what is wrong? He said my mother is sick.
• 1:08:04
  I hope you know, fever those days was not like fever of
• 1:08:07
  today. Fever those days was like
• 1:08:08
  cancer. If you had a fever, there was no
• 1:08:13
  cure. You were going to die.
• 1:08:16
  And the Bible says he held her by the hands.
• 1:08:19
  Verse 15. And the fever left.
• 1:08:22
  She arose and served them food. The apostle was ministering in a
• 1:08:29
  crusade ground in a room. And because it was an extended
• 1:08:33
  session of learning, witness of the power of God, a woman rolled
• 1:08:38
  from the window and fell down and died.
• 1:08:41
  Do you know what it means that someone came to church and died
• 1:08:44
  in church? And the apostle said not so.
• 1:08:47
  We were not giving a message alone.
• 1:08:49
  He went out, picked her up, come on now.
• 1:08:52
  Picked her up, come on now, brought her back to life.
• 1:08:56
  Don't preach it if you don't believe it.
• 1:08:59
  Don't preach it if you don't want to see it.
• 1:09:04
  Don't say Jesus is alive if you don't plan to demonstrate it.
• 1:09:08
  Don't say he heals if it will remain a gist.
• 1:09:12
  Let me tell you this by the message of God, we've had the
• 1:09:16
  honor of hosting crusades around the world.
• 1:09:18
  I have seen what the power of God can do.
• 1:09:21
  I've seen how we can silence arguments that when there is a
• 1:09:25
  genuine display of power, not a story that only you knows as a
• 1:09:29
  preacher, people will doubt you and critics who have the right
• 1:09:35
  to say you are lying. When it's a story that only you
• 1:09:38
  knows. How can you tell a spectacular
• 1:09:42
  story and there is nobody who knows the story?
• 1:09:45
  Where did it happen? In A room when Jesus
• 1:09:51
  resurrected? It was not in a small room.
• 1:09:54
  The grave was rolled away. The grave is still empty till
• 1:09:57
  today. There are men who have gone
• 1:09:59
  there. They checked, they saw that it
• 1:10:02
  was empty. O God of sight, O God of sight,
• 1:11:05
  O, let me tell you the truth. At the risk of sounding proud,
• 1:11:14
  if the only thing we did in this ministry from exception was just
• 1:11:18
  sound doctrine, we will never be here by now because of where we
• 1:11:22
  started from. You cannot go global just
• 1:11:25
  speaking nice words. It takes power, provable
• 1:11:28
  results, a demonstration of the grace of God.
• 1:11:32
  We started from an Islamic territory.
• 1:11:34
  You don't lie. You don't fake miracles.
• 1:11:38
  Don't fake miracles. You can't say it happened when
• 1:11:41
  it did not happen. I remember the stories, a
• 1:11:44
  popular story, a woman who had breast cancer, She was not a
• 1:11:49
  Christian, she was a Muslim. A breast cancer, a miracle
• 1:11:53
  service was ongoing. This woman was just passing,
• 1:11:57
  passing. And the power of God hit her
• 1:12:00
  right there, right there. I saw the woman.
• 1:12:03
  I examined the woman. That woman returned back to her
• 1:12:12
  husband and could not tell her husband what happened.
• 1:12:15
  She had to coin a story so that it will not affect her.
• 1:12:18
  You know what I mean. Power of God, The power of God,
• 1:12:25
  Sir, the power of God. Kalakato sada balakata.
• 1:12:30
  The power of God, the gospel with power.
• 1:12:33
  Business with power. Ministry with power.
• 1:12:36
  Parenting with power. Professional work with power.
• 1:12:41
  Demonstrating the validity of the risen Christ, Not in a
• 1:12:45
  pretentious way. Revealing Jesus to a generation.
• 1:12:48
  Restoring the order of power. Genuine power.
• 1:12:53
  Apostolic power. Prophetic power.
• 1:13:01
  Hallelujah, Hallelujah. I remember the the story of a
• 1:13:08
  popular cultist still in Zarya. That gentleman came.
• 1:13:13
  I would not mention the city. He came and sat outside.
• 1:13:17
  This is somebody that got power for invincibility, meaning you
• 1:13:22
  can disappear. He could disappear physically.
• 1:13:27
  There was a time he was in one of the Nigerian prisons.
• 1:13:31
  This guy came out. He belonged to a cult group.
• 1:13:35
  I would not mention the name. He came and sat outside.
• 1:13:39
  Usually they come to test the power of preachers, and he sat
• 1:13:42
  quietly outside. I remember the boy's name and
• 1:13:46
  the only thing he remembered was when I came on stage, he just
• 1:13:49
  saw fire and that was it. They carried the boy and brought
• 1:13:52
  him in from outside. From outside Sir Appa, we need
• 1:14:00
  to restore the power of God. There are too many sick people
• 1:14:03
  dying while we are praying. There are too many oppressed
• 1:14:07
  people still being oppressed while we pray the dangers.
• 1:14:10
  We are praying while the decline is happening that we make it
• 1:14:14
  look like prayer does not work. How many months do I need to
• 1:14:19
  pray for the sick to be healed? I believe in prayer, but not
• 1:14:23
  prayer for one year for a sick body to be healed.
• 1:14:25
  Prayer for edification, yes, but not prayer for one year for a
• 1:14:30
  sick body to be healed. Come and manifest your power
• 1:14:37
  D-Day O. Come and show falsy your power,
• 1:14:47
  O God of sight. Listen, the Bible says a woman,
• 1:15:07
  look at me. The Bible says a woman was
• 1:15:10
  caught in adultery and brought to Jesus, caught in the very act
• 1:15:15
  of it. The disciples wanted to use her
• 1:15:18
  case to hold on to Jesus Christ. And now when he said the woman
• 1:15:24
  free, he made a profound statement.
• 1:15:26
  He said, woman, where are you accused us?
• 1:15:29
  Do you know what that means? Where are you accusers?
• 1:15:33
  Does not mean where are the men who accuse you?
• 1:15:35
  Where is the condition that is as if at the effect of your
• 1:15:38
  lifestyle? Where is the HIV that is an
• 1:15:41
  accuser? Where are the diseases that are
• 1:15:44
  an accuser? He said.
• 1:15:45
  Neither do I condemn you Go. The meaning of that is when a
• 1:15:50
  Sinner comes to Jesus, let's assume the person lived a
• 1:15:53
  wayward life and had HIV or had some demonic thing when it comes
• 1:15:58
  to you, you don't just get him born again, then he dies with
• 1:16:01
  the HIV like Jesus will say where are you accused us.
• 1:16:04
  Let me see them. The sickness that remains a
• 1:16:07
  witness in your life that you had a painful past.
• 1:16:09
  He said neither do I condemn you and the proof that you are free
• 1:16:13
  is that your sins and the consequences they must live.
• 1:16:19
  But today we get the people sick, we get them healed but
• 1:16:22
  their conditions decline. Listen I'm saying this as a wake
• 1:16:25
  up call. Have you seen the number of
• 1:16:28
  Christians don't talking Christians that rally around
• 1:16:32
  sick people praying in tongues with prayer chains And the
• 1:16:35
  conditions of the people never change and they believe it's a
• 1:16:38
  demon that caused it and they call upon the name of the Lord
• 1:16:41
  for years till the people die. Don't feel condemned but feel
• 1:16:46
  challenged. Something is wrong, something is
• 1:16:50
  wrong, something is wrong. The earlier we accepted it, the
• 1:16:53
  better for us. We need to take responsibility
• 1:16:56
  and say Father something is wrong, please help us.
• 1:17:00
  Show us the way of power, not by bragging on stage.
• 1:17:04
  Show us the way of power. Genuine old time Apostolic power
• 1:17:13
  that our mainstream newspapers. This is the news they will carry
• 1:17:17
  all week. On Monday someone rose off from
• 1:17:20
  the dead. On Tuesday 1000 people became
• 1:17:24
  born again in a marketplace because a popular crippled
• 1:17:27
  person got up. On Tuesday someone prophesied
• 1:17:32
  and something supernatural happened.
• 1:17:36
  The Gospel is only as hard as the absence of power to support
• 1:17:42
  it. When there is absence of power,
• 1:17:45
  the gospel will look hard. Now pray in one minute.
• 1:17:48
  And I want to show you the price for genuine end time power.
• 1:17:53
  And if you are following online, please call a pastor you know.
• 1:17:57
  Call anybody you know and tell them please listen to this
• 1:18:00
  message. Look beyond the man and listen
• 1:18:03
  to what God is saying to a generation.
• 1:18:06
  Lift your voice and pray in one minute.
• 1:18:09
  Let power be restored. Oh God, genuine Apostolic power
• 1:18:14
  to the body. Power to heal the sick, power to
• 1:18:21
  raise the dead, Power to shift climates, power to intercept
• 1:18:28
  wicked happenings within a territory, power to turn the
• 1:18:33
  tides of businesses. We believe you are the God of
• 1:18:36
  all flesh. We repent for downplaying your
• 1:18:40
  power. Ratana Sabaka Tabeleca Paraco
• 1:18:49
  Theatre. In Jesus name we pray.
• 1:18:55
  In Jesus name we pray. Let me tell you something so you
• 1:18:59
  know the need for power. For an example, how many of you
• 1:19:03
  know right now that the financial situation hitting the
• 1:19:06
  globe and hitting every nation is beyond the realm of hard work
• 1:19:11
  now? No, this is beyond hard work.
• 1:19:14
  This is beyond economic principle.
• 1:19:17
  In every generation, there is always a replica of the days of
• 1:19:20
  Noah and when those times come, it is not about hard work.
• 1:19:24
  You know how much a a a house is in Abuja now for rent?
• 1:19:29
  Your whole salary for the year as a diligent employee will not
• 1:19:33
  pay for the rent. So it's not a laziness issue.
• 1:19:36
  You need the help of God. You know how many years it takes
• 1:19:41
  to start a business before the business breaks even?
• 1:19:45
  Economically speaking? Will your children live until
• 1:19:49
  that time comes? I'm not saying you should be
• 1:19:51
  lazy, but you will be joking to say we don't need God to help
• 1:19:54
  us. Never say God should not be
• 1:19:56
  involved in a man's finances. It's not an accurate
• 1:19:58
  understanding. God helps men.
• 1:20:01
  He doesn't help men spiritually and leave men in other aspects
• 1:20:04
  then he's not God. If God does not need to be
• 1:20:07
  involved in any aspect of my life then he I should not call
• 1:20:10
  him Lord. His lordship should cover every
• 1:20:13
  area. Sometimes we need to manage the
• 1:20:18
  things we see on stage. While it is sincere and well
• 1:20:21
  meaning, we need to be careful. Because out of the sincerity of
• 1:20:25
  our hearts, we can be programming a generation towards
• 1:20:28
  unbelief by the message of God. I'm not financially ignorant.
• 1:20:35
  I can tell you that without sounding proud.
• 1:20:37
  There are very few people who have learned finances like I've
• 1:20:41
  done from a standpoint of dedicated pursuit of structured
• 1:20:46
  knowledge. The man talking to you is not a
• 1:20:48
  fool, but I know God helps man. I will be foolish here to come
• 1:20:52
  and tell you it was. Divide the eggs that produce
• 1:20:54
  every dollar and every naira. God can teach a man's hand to
• 1:20:57
  war. He can teach your fingers to
• 1:20:59
  fight. He can give you of the riches of
• 1:21:01
  the earth. If you don't believe it, save
• 1:21:03
  Johnny. Come and manifest your power
• 1:21:08
  detail. Come and show from your glory.
• 1:21:18
  Please be seated.
• 1:21:48
  The compelling power of mighty works.
• 1:21:51
  When you get in an environment where you see genuine results,
• 1:21:55
  when you get in an environment where you see God moving
• 1:21:59
  mightily, mightily, mighty to save, mighty to heal, mighty to
• 1:22:04
  lift, mighty to bless, mighty to deliver, it's difficult to God,
• 1:22:09
  to doubt the God who refuse himself that much.
• 1:22:13
  Every time there was a display of God's mighty power, it
• 1:22:17
  brought a compelling witness. It brought conviction.
• 1:22:21
  Is it Noah? Is it Elijah?
• 1:22:23
  Is it Jesus himself? Is it the early church?
• 1:22:27
  It's not changed. It will not change.
• 1:22:33
  But hear me, ladies, and. Gentlemen, talking about the
• 1:22:35
  need for power is profitable. But not enough.
• 1:22:38
  There is a price, a non negotiable price, and the
• 1:22:43
  generation that ignores that price, the knowledge of it and
• 1:22:47
  the grace to press into it is the generation that will talk
• 1:22:50
  about power forever and yet not see it in their lives and then
• 1:22:54
  persecute those who pay the price to touch a bit of it.
• 1:23:00
  Manifest your power. Show forth your power I to
• 1:23:13
  happen. In our lifetime, my God, that
• 1:23:15
  one day. We will get into hospitals and
• 1:23:20
  say please give us permission or even if you would not give us
• 1:23:26
  permission, just. Let it be a live.
• 1:23:28
  Recording and in the name of Jesus, from anywhere we will
• 1:23:32
  speak by the name of that God, and people will be awestruck as
• 1:23:37
  they watch their children, little babies who were not
• 1:23:40
  formed well, they will hear the word of the Lord.
• 1:23:43
  I told you, if God can raise the dead, God can quicken the
• 1:23:46
  living. If God can raise the dead, he
• 1:23:48
  can perfect the living. But this talk remains a cliche
• 1:23:52
  until power validates it. Please be seated.
• 1:23:58
  Let me give you the key. Shamakata sabran de gette bata

• 1:24:06
  Tonight's call is not just a call for apostles.
• 1:24:10
  It's not just a call for prophets.
• 1:24:11
  It's not just a call for missionaries.
• 1:24:13
  It's a call for witnesses. Men who must carry power, men
• 1:24:18
  who must bring completion to the order of communicating the
• 1:24:22
  gospel. Power, Sir.
• 1:24:24
  Power. Genuine power.
• 1:24:26
  Genuine power. The power of the Holy Ghost.
• 1:24:29
  We need to restore the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
• 1:24:32
  There is a generation that knows nothing about the Holy Spirit.
• 1:24:36
  They think it's just a preacher's advantage.
• 1:24:39
  We have ignored His ministry alongside the grace and the
• 1:24:43
  riches that come with knowing Him.
• 1:24:50
  The first key you want. To walk mighty walks, you want
• 1:24:58
  to walk in. Genuine Apostolic power.
• 1:25:01
  You want your life to bring glory to the Lord and compel
• 1:25:06
  conviction in men until they run to the cross.
• 1:25:10
  I'll show you a few keys. Number one, the first prize non
• 1:25:14
  negotiable for mighty works is the price of intimacy and
• 1:25:20
  consecration. The price of intimacy and
• 1:25:25
  consecration. Please write it down.
• 1:25:29
  The price of intimacy and consecration, you have heard me
• 1:25:34
  say, But let me repeat it again. The price for all of God is all
• 1:25:39
  of you. The price for all of God is all
• 1:25:44
  of you. Not just your heart, all of you,
• 1:25:47
  not just your mind, all of you, not just your labor in as a
• 1:25:51
  worker in the house. The price for all of God is all
• 1:25:56
  of you. Unreserved surrender.
• 1:26:01
  Intimacy. And consecration, these are two
• 1:26:05
  similar words, but they do not mean the same thing.
• 1:26:08
  They are related, intertwined, but they are not the same.
• 1:26:11
  I have defined for you consecration, that consecration
• 1:26:15
  essentially has a foundation of abstinence from sin and
• 1:26:21
  unrighteousness, but that's not the only aspect.
• 1:26:24
  So the foundation of consecration is a desire and a
• 1:26:28
  press to abstain from every appearance of evil.
• 1:26:32
  But it does not stop there. Unfortunately, that is largely
• 1:26:35
  the scope of consecration as it's been taught in the body of
• 1:26:39
  Christ. There are many people who, by
• 1:26:41
  the message of God, have abstained from sin and
• 1:26:44
  unrighteousness, and yet they are not consecrated because the
• 1:26:48
  larger part of consecration, about 20% of consecration, is
• 1:26:53
  abstinence. The remaining 80% is devotion,
• 1:26:57
  giving yourself wholly to a 'cause when we say a man is
• 1:27:02
  consecrated, it is from the what?
• 1:27:04
  Set apart onto a task. Set apart onto a mission.
• 1:27:16
  The price for power and the price for Mighty works. #1 the
• 1:27:22
  price for intimacy with the Holy Ghost, the price for
• 1:27:24
  consecration, taking advantage of the supply of God's grace.
• 1:27:30
  Are we together? Abstinence from sin and every
• 1:27:36
  walk of the flesh. And then #2A life of total
• 1:27:40
  devotion. Devotion does not mean you don't
• 1:27:43
  pursue your career. Devotion does not mean locking
• 1:27:46
  yourself in a room and being useless for the rest of your
• 1:27:48
  life. Devotion talks about dying to
• 1:27:51
  self and enthroning Christ as Lord over every affair of your
• 1:27:56
  life that He becomes #1. You are plunged into everything
• 1:28:03
  that. Is of God, you are plunged into
• 1:28:05
  everything that is of the Kingdom.
• 1:28:07
  You are plunged into your the theme of your life is Jesus
• 1:28:10
  revealed and Jesus glorified. That is the portrait of a
• 1:28:14
  consecrated man. No Plan B Jesus business Jesus
• 1:28:21
  professional life Jesus ministry Jesus marriage Jesus.
• 1:28:27
  Everything about your life is for the revelation of Jesus and
• 1:28:31
  blessing your world. If that becomes your mental
• 1:28:33
  posture, you are a consecrated person.
• 1:28:37
  Let me tell you this. If there is any other reason
• 1:28:40
  for? Pursuing anything.
• 1:28:41
  In your life, above the desire to see Jesus revealed you are
• 1:28:46
  carnal. That's the definition of
• 1:28:48
  carnality. Carnality is not just walking
• 1:28:50
  the things of the flesh. Even if you are doing spiritual
• 1:28:53
  activities and there is any other reason for your getting
• 1:28:58
  married, any other reason for your wanting children, any other
• 1:29:02
  reason for your wanting finances and prosperity, any other reason
• 1:29:07
  for your wanting the anointing, for wanting membership that is
• 1:29:11
  above the desire to see God reveal your carnal period is
• 1:29:18
  someone learning. The highest and the noblest.
• 1:29:22
  Motivation for every activity of a believer in Christ should be
• 1:29:27
  the desire to see Jesus revealed in your life and then through
• 1:29:32
  your life to the nations. That's it.
• 1:29:35
  This is the correct foundation for praying potent power
• 1:29:40
  carrying prayer. Lord, I need the anointing for
• 1:29:44
  your glory so that Jesus will be revealed.
• 1:29:47
  Lord, I pray for your husband. Not because time is gone.
• 1:29:50
  I'm getting older. That's a truthful but nonsense
• 1:29:53
  reason spiritually speaking, because it doesn't carry any
• 1:29:57
  value as far as Kingdom come is concerned.
• 1:30:03
  Are we together, Lord? I need wealth and prosperity.
• 1:30:06
  For your glory. The moment it becomes about the
• 1:30:10
  revelation of Jesus, then you are ready to do business with
• 1:30:13
  God. Lord, I'm trusting you to be a
• 1:30:15
  billionaire just because my colleagues are non billionaires
• 1:30:20
  and I need to be part of them. Too small a reason.
• 1:30:22
  You will not get God's attention that way.
• 1:30:25
  It is always for His glory. I'm showing you the theology of
• 1:30:28
  consecration, one abstinence from #2 devotion.
• 1:30:34
  Total devotion, including your inspiration and your motivation.
• 1:30:42
  Jesus revealed. Jesus glorified.
• 1:30:44
  When you hear us choruses and chanted.
• 1:30:46
  And cried in Koinonia. It's not just the catch phrase
• 1:30:48
  of a ministry. It's a theme that we're burning
• 1:30:51
  in our minds subconsciously, subliminally, so that it becomes
• 1:30:55
  the anchor, the anchor motivation behind everything we
• 1:30:59
  do. The way to get my attention in
• 1:31:02
  anything is show me how. Jesus will be.
• 1:31:05
  Revealed through that process. Now you are inviting me
• 1:31:07
  officially. Apostle, pray for my business
• 1:31:11
  you will seldom get. My attention and my passion.
• 1:31:14
  Show me how that business is going to reveal Jesus.
• 1:31:17
  And now you have touched me in an area where I almost cannot
• 1:31:19
  resist. You see the reason why many.
• 1:31:24
  Believers don't seem to secure the backing of.
• 1:31:27
  Heaven easily is because of the corruption that sponsors our
• 1:31:31
  prayer. The motifs that sponsor the
• 1:31:35
  spiritual activities. The activity is correct but the
• 1:31:38
  motif is corrupted, very corrupted from competition to
• 1:31:43
  all of these other non spiritual motifs.
• 1:31:47
  It must be Jesus and a generation.
• 1:31:50
  That returns to. That consecrated ideology, that
• 1:31:54
  everything about my life, it as God blesses me.
• 1:31:58
  It is for His glory that Jesus will be revealed through my
• 1:32:02
  life. The price for all?
• 1:32:06
  Of God is all of you your thoughts?
• 1:32:10
  Your desires, your motivations. Abstinence is the foundation.
• 1:32:17
  And then? The building of your
• 1:32:19
  consecration is your devotion, total devotion to God.
• 1:32:25
  Intimacy and consecration also demands knowing how to engage
• 1:32:30
  intimately with the Holy Spirit. Please get my teaching series on
• 1:32:34
  the ministry of the Holy Spirit. I hope there's a series on the
• 1:32:38
  Holy Spirit that I'm teaching again sometime in the course of
• 1:32:41
  the year. So I'll leave that for that
• 1:32:43
  time. But let me tell you this, ladies
• 1:32:44
  and gentlemen, our generation does not know much about the
• 1:32:48
  Holy Spirit. And I think a mistake was made
• 1:32:52
  and it's a subtle mistake, and the mistake is the Passion.
• 1:32:58
  To restore Jesus. As the epicenter of what we do
• 1:33:02
  and in restoring Jesus, we made any other thing that does not
• 1:33:06
  look or sound like Jesus to us like an idol, including the
• 1:33:10
  ministry of the Holy Spirit. And so subconsciously we de
• 1:33:13
  emphasized the ministry of the Holy Spirit in a sincere attempt
• 1:33:19
  to glorify Jesus, not knowing that it is only by the Spirit
• 1:33:23
  that Jesus can really be glorified.
• 1:33:26
  The Bible says when he, the Spirit of truth is come, He will
• 1:33:29
  guide you in all truth. He will take that witches of me
• 1:33:32
  and give it to you. He will glorify the Father.
• 1:33:35
  You cannot glorify Jesus in the flesh.
• 1:33:38
  The way you bring glory to Jesus is to embrace the ministry of
• 1:33:41
  the Holy Spirit. Let me tell you where we got
• 1:33:44
  that from. We are used to rivalry, we are
• 1:33:47
  used to rivalry, We are not used to two people.
• 1:33:50
  We don't understand partnership in our world.
• 1:33:53
  We are always used to betrayal and rivalry.
• 1:33:57
  And we carry that mentality and apply it to the Godhead as
• 1:34:00
  though the Holy Ghost is about stealing the show from Jesus,
• 1:34:03
  not knowing that his primary assignment is not even to reveal
• 1:34:07
  himself. His primary assignment is to
• 1:34:10
  give witness the validity of the person Jesus.
• 1:34:14
  That rivalry mentality is why we believe that if we press for
• 1:34:18
  intimacy with the Holy Ghost, Jesus will be jealous and say
• 1:34:22
  what is going on here? We carried our rivalry mentality
• 1:34:27
  and it's robbed us of something precious, the Holy Spirit, the
• 1:34:33
  Helper. The Paraclet.
• 1:34:35
  The Guide. The teacher, the instructor, the
• 1:34:38
  one who brings men into conformity.
• 1:34:42
  Nobody can be saved without him. Even Jesus needed him to
• 1:34:45
  manifest as the Son of the living God.
• 1:34:48
  The Bible says he was declared to be the Son of God with power.
• 1:34:51
  Romans chapter 1 and verse two of us 4 I believe by the spirit
• 1:34:55
  of holiness. He was declared to be the Son of
• 1:34:58
  God with power by the the Spirit of holiness.
• 1:35:04
  It took the holy. Ghost Romans 1/4 declared to be
• 1:35:07
  the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of
• 1:35:10
  holiness. Did you not read in your Bible
• 1:35:12
  that if that same spirit that raised Christ from the dead, the
• 1:35:18
  Holy Ghost, is not rivaling Jesus?
• 1:35:20
  It's poor mentality that is based on how we deal with one
• 1:35:24
  another. We are used to jealousy, We are
• 1:35:27
  used to rivalry, we are used to betrayal.
• 1:35:30
  We are used to people backstabbing one another.
• 1:35:32
  And we carry that mentality and apply it to the Godhead.
• 1:35:38
  The Holy Ghost is the first. Dimension of the Godhead
• 1:35:41
  revealed in Scripture. In the beginning God created the
• 1:35:44
  heavens and the earth. The Bible says verse 2 of
• 1:35:46
  Genesis chapter one, it says the earth was dark, it was void, it
• 1:35:51
  was formless, and the Spirit of God hovered round the face of
• 1:35:55
  the deep. The Spirit of God hovered round
• 1:35:58
  the face of the deep. It was Jesus himself who said, I
• 1:36:02
  have many things to tell you, but he cannot bear them now.
• 1:36:05
  He says, how be it when He, the Spirit of truth, Jesus speaking
• 1:36:10
  about the Spirit of truth, is come?
• 1:36:12
  He will guide you into all truth.
• 1:36:14
  He says that He shall be with you and will be his with you and
• 1:36:20
  shall be in you. Hallelujah on the day of
• 1:36:28
  Pentecost. Jesus told them in Acts chapter
• 1:36:31
  1 and verse 8. They said, will you at this time
• 1:36:33
  restore the nation of Israel? He says.
• 1:36:36
  It is not for you to know the times and the seasons that the
• 1:36:39
  Father has put within His care. Verse 8 But you shall receive
• 1:36:43
  power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.
• 1:36:46
  Jesus spoke about the Holy Ghost and told them they needed the
• 1:36:50
  Holy Ghost to be witnesses. They needed the Holy Ghost.
• 1:36:55
  I I hope you know that by this time they already knew the
• 1:36:58
  message of redemption. Jesus had trained him on the
• 1:37:01
  message, but it was not enough. He said tarry until he be
• 1:37:04
  endured with power. Acts chapter 10 and verse 38 how
• 1:37:08
  God anointed Jesus with the Holy Ghost.
• 1:37:11
  Look at that statement. The Trinity.
• 1:37:13
  God anointed the word with the spirit, God anointed Jesus with
• 1:37:19
  the Holy Ghost. God anointed Jesus with the Holy
• 1:37:23
  Ghost. He didn't anoint himself.
• 1:37:25
  God anointed Jesus with the Holy Ghost.
• 1:37:28
  God anoints Joshua Salman with the Holy Ghost.
• 1:37:32
  God anoints Koinonia with the Holy Ghost.
• 1:37:35
  God anoints a generation with the Holy Ghost.
• 1:37:38
  Then they go about doing good and healing all day that we
• 1:37:43
  oppress. Don't go about doing good when
• 1:37:46
  you have not encountered the anointing of the Holy Ghost.
• 1:37:49
  And this one stands by receiving his person.
• 1:37:52
  Wanting to receive the power of the Holy Ghost without
• 1:37:55
  understanding and coming into a functional relationship with him
• 1:37:59
  is like coming into a man's house and wanting to steal his
• 1:38:03
  food without knowing the man. It starts with his person, then
• 1:38:08
  you receive. The power you shall.
• 1:38:10
  Receive power after, not before, not during.
• 1:38:14
  After the Holy Ghost as a person is come upon you, ladies and
• 1:38:20
  gentlemen, we need to. Understand again from a.
• 1:38:23
  Theological standpoint. The value of the person, the
• 1:38:28
  office, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
• 1:38:32
  The ones who have modelled the supernatural in a way that is
• 1:38:35
  commendably enviable in our generation.
• 1:38:38
  Every single one of them, without fail, credited their
• 1:38:41
  exploits of the supernatural to their relationship with the
• 1:38:45
  Spirit of God. Mentioned the Benny Hinns,
• 1:38:48
  Mentioned the rain, had bunkers of blessed memory.
• 1:38:50
  Mention the mighty men and women who are doing great things for
• 1:38:54
  the Kingdom right now, including our fathers of faith.
• 1:38:57
  The Congress that RCCG holds is called the Holy Ghost Congress.
• 1:39:02
  It is a Congress that is a convergence by the Holy Ghost.
• 1:39:05
  No wonder the mighty. Works that only God can do is
• 1:39:08
  what is experienced there, the grace of our Lord Jesus.
• 1:39:14
  Christ, the love of God. And the Koinonia, the sharing
• 1:39:19
  together, the participation, the intimacy, the drinking from the
• 1:39:23
  same cup, the intimacy with the Holy Ghost.
• 1:39:27
  It says, let it be with you all, not you some, not you men of
• 1:39:31
  God, not you intellectuals. This is Paul's desire for the
• 1:39:35
  Church. Be with you all.
• 1:39:38
  You shall receive power. After you receive the Holy
• 1:39:42
  Ghost, You can reject the Holy Spirit.
• 1:39:45
  Many years ago there was a book that was written about the Holy
• 1:39:49
  Ghost beyond tongues and beyond prophecies.
• 1:39:53
  It's important for us to understand that the ministry of
• 1:39:56
  the Holy. Ghost goes beyond just praying.
• 1:39:57
  In tongues, you can pray in tongues.
• 1:40:00
  It's a rich strategy for building intimacy and
• 1:40:04
  fellowship. And I'm coming here shortly.
• 1:40:06
  But it's for you to know that part of intimacy and
• 1:40:09
  consecration, if you try to do it in the flesh, you will get
• 1:40:13
  into the realm of legalism and frustration.
• 1:40:17
  Living a truly consecrated life is by the agency of the Holy
• 1:40:21
  Spirit. Ezekiel chapter 2 and verse one,
• 1:40:24
  Son of Man, stand up on your feet and I will speak unto you.
• 1:40:27
  Ezekiel chapter 2 and verse one, stand up on your feet and I will
• 1:40:31
  speak unto you. He did not have the power.
• 1:40:34
  Son of man rise to live a perfect life and a holy life.
• 1:40:37
  He did not have the power. Son of Man rise up by the
• 1:40:41
  strength of the flesh and live an enviable destiny.
• 1:40:43
  He did not have the power. Here is how it happens in the
• 1:40:46
  Kingdom. Verse 2 He says, and the Spirit
• 1:40:48
  give it to us. Entered into me.
• 1:40:52
  The Spirit entered into me. And caused me to.
• 1:40:56
  Live a consecrated life. The Spirit entered into me and
• 1:41:00
  caused me to become a man of God with capacity.
• 1:41:03
  The Spirit entered into me and gave me the ability to to bear
• 1:41:08
  witness to the truth, even if it will cost my life if the Spirit
• 1:41:14
  has not entered into you. Meaning you have not been
• 1:41:16
  empowered. By the Spirit of God.
• 1:41:18
  Every time we talk of power it is by the Spirit.
• 1:41:22
  Micah chapter 3 and verse 8. Surely I am full of power by the
• 1:41:26
  Spirit. I am full of power by the
• 1:41:30
  Spirit. I am full of power by the
• 1:41:33
  Spirit. By the Spirit.
• 1:41:37
  Isaiah 61. And verse one the.
• 1:41:40
  Spirit of the Lord is upon me. The Spirit of the Lord is upon
• 1:41:46
  me because he, that spirit has anointed me too.
• 1:41:51
  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.
• 1:41:53
  He has anointed me to do business.
• 1:41:56
  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.
• 1:41:58
  He has anointed me to rise to the zenith of my career.
• 1:42:02
  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.
• 1:42:04
  He has anointed me to be a man of God, with wisdom, power,
• 1:42:07
  faith, fire. The Spirit of God is upon me.
• 1:42:11
  He has anointed me to be a politician for excellence,
• 1:42:14
  delivering excellence. The Spirit of the Lord is upon
• 1:42:17
  me. He has anointed me to be a
• 1:42:19
  mother over five children. The Spirit of the Lord is upon
• 1:42:22
  me. There is no aspect of human life
• 1:42:25
  where the ministry and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit
• 1:42:29
  is not needed. Thank you all, my Father, for
• 1:42:37
  giving us your Son and living Your Spirit till your work on
• 1:42:47
  earth is done. Thank you all, my Father, for
• 1:42:55
  giving us your Son and leaving your Spirit till your work on
• 1:43:05
  earth is done. That's his assignment to help us
• 1:43:11
  bring glory to Jesus. That's his assignment to help us
• 1:43:15
  finish the race. That's his assignment to help
• 1:43:18
  you become a preacher with fire who can finish your assignment.
• 1:43:22
  That's his assignment to help you become a businessman, a
• 1:43:26
  professional, a politician. The Holy Spirit does not produce
• 1:43:30
  fanatics. It is religion that produces
• 1:43:33
  fanatics and the poor mentorship from preachers that produces
• 1:43:37
  fanatics. The Holy Spirit produces
• 1:43:40
  passionate witnesses who are relevant to the Kingdom and
• 1:43:44
  relevant to society. Every time you see fanaticism,
• 1:43:48
  it's not the minister of the Holy Spirit, it's the aberration
• 1:43:52
  that has come from the nuances and the biases of preachers.
• 1:44:07
  Leaving your spirit till your. Work on Earth is done.
• 1:44:16
  You've left us, your spirit, till your work on earth.
• 1:44:31
  Where's Tabitha? Sing that her song for me.
• 1:44:34
  I seek your face. I want to.
• 1:44:36
  Know you please give her the mic.
• 1:44:37
  Just sing it for us in one minute.
• 1:44:39
  I seek your face. I want to know you'll find a
• 1:44:41
  convenient key for her. Listen to this song and let it
• 1:44:44
  bless you. God is calling us to a deeper
• 1:44:49
  level of consecration and a deeper level of intimacy that
• 1:44:54
  beyond religion, beyond the desire to preach, the desire to
• 1:44:58
  make money, the desire to be famous and to be celebrities.
• 1:45:02
  He's calling us back to the altar of worship, the altar of
• 1:45:07
  sacrifice, the altar of surrender.
• 1:45:10
  Let this song edify you in one minute and then we'll continue
• 1:45:13
  our discussion. Go ahead.
• 1:45:21
  I. See your face.
• 1:45:24
  I want to know you. I want to know you.
• 1:45:32
  I see your face. I see your face.
• 1:45:38
  I want to know you. I want to know you.
• 1:45:45
  I see your face and I see your face.
• 1:45:52
  I want to know you. I want to know you.
• 1:45:56
  I see your face. I see your face.
• 1:46:06
  I want to know you. I want to know you.
• 1:46:12
  I'm not satisfied. I'm not satisfied until I see
• 1:46:22
  you. I'm not satisfied.
• 1:46:30
  I'm not satisfied until I see you.
• 1:46:42
  You say you shall seek for me and find me.
• 1:46:45
  When you seek me with. All your hearts, let me tell you
• 1:46:47
  this, ladies and gentlemen, truly, if you really want to
• 1:46:52
  find the power of God that empowers you to be a witness and
• 1:46:57
  to walk mighty walks, mighty walks within the context of a
• 1:47:02
  generation, there needs to be a restoration back to the secret
• 1:47:08
  place. I preached a message many years.
• 1:47:11
  Ago called The Secret Place, It's a place of intimacy.
• 1:47:16
  It's a place of power. It's a place of brokenness.
• 1:47:19
  It's a place of surrender. In the midst of our busyness and
• 1:47:24
  in many cases, justifiable. Busy doing things, trying to
• 1:47:29
  make money, trying to earn a living, trying to move forward,
• 1:47:33
  trying to fight for our right. Once we're all about doing this
• 1:47:37
  thing, sometimes we neglect the secret Place, not knowing that
• 1:47:41
  that is a place of power, not knowing that that is a place of
• 1:47:44
  relevance, not knowing that that is a place where men carry the
• 1:47:48
  weight of God's glory. You see?
• 1:47:52
  So this is a call, ladies. And gentlemen, we must.
• 1:47:55
  Return back to our times of prayer.
• 1:47:58
  I think I've said it a number of times here on stage while
• 1:48:01
  preaching, touching various subjects.
• 1:48:04
  One of the blessings for most of us here who came from Christian
• 1:48:08
  families was the concept of morning devotions or night
• 1:48:13
  prayers. It was a culture that even for
• 1:48:16
  families who were at the average spiritually, they maintain that
• 1:48:21
  ritual of making contact with heaven at least once every day.
• 1:48:26
  It's a ritual that again, through our pride and our press
• 1:48:30
  for intellectualism, we have faded it away as though it's not
• 1:48:34
  necessary. Our mothers and our fathers, our
• 1:48:38
  loved ones and. Those who went ahead of us,
• 1:48:40
  they. Didn't read the whole Bible one
• 1:48:42
  day, but sometimes they read one verse and they did it
• 1:48:45
  consistently for 30 years and they could not even count how
• 1:48:48
  many times they had exhausted the Bible.
• 1:48:50
  And here we have a lot of arrogant Pentecostals and
• 1:48:53
  charismatics. We claim that we know God.
• 1:48:56
  We claim that we know a lot of things.
• 1:48:57
  But the discipline to stay until that glory rests on us.
• 1:49:02
  We are busy. You pray for 5 minutes and pick
• 1:49:05
  up your phone, smile at a text that was just sent to you and
• 1:49:08
  before you know it you've been standing for one hour responding
• 1:49:12
  to different things and people will see you and think you have
• 1:49:16
  been praying so they. Expect the result.
• 1:49:18
  That comes from intimacy, but it is not there because you were in
• 1:49:21
  the place of intimacy, but you were still in the flesh.
• 1:49:27
  Hallelujah, I said this. With all due respect,
• 1:49:30
  particularly for. Those of us who have answered
• 1:49:33
  the call to ministry, answering the call to ministry is like
• 1:49:38
  being in the military. You are allowed to do a lot of
• 1:49:41
  extracurricular things, but go and meet any soldier.
• 1:49:45
  He knows that if you answer the call to be part of the military,
• 1:49:50
  are we together? There is a consecration that
• 1:49:52
  that call demands men of God. We need to be very careful
• 1:49:56
  sometimes the press to be myself and enjoy myself.
• 1:50:01
  Those things erode the glory of God for my lives.
• 1:50:04
  We want to be like every other person and yet carry the glory
• 1:50:08
  that only consecrated people carry.
• 1:50:10
  It won't work that way. Sir, you want to be everywhere,
• 1:50:13
  watch every football, watch everywhere, watch every movie,
• 1:50:17
  watch everything. Please don't get me wrong, there
• 1:50:19
  is a time you have to bless yourself and enjoy your
• 1:50:22
  humanity. But the call to ministry is a
• 1:50:25
  sacrifice from start to finish. While others are snoring, you
• 1:50:30
  are praying is the demand for answering the call.
• 1:50:33
  That's why God compels those who are listening to you to honor
• 1:50:37
  you. The honor is not justified if
• 1:50:40
  you are there carnally minded and not investing and sowing in
• 1:50:44
  the Spirit. You cannot give God 30 minutes
• 1:50:47
  of your time and then while away your time gratifying the flesh
• 1:50:51
  and want the God of all grace and justice to grant to you the
• 1:50:55
  same dimension of fire and anointing for a generation.
• 1:51:00
  No Sir, no Sir, it doesn't work that way.
• 1:51:05
  Do not be deceived, God cannot be mocked whatsoever a man's
• 1:51:10
  souls. You saw 15 minutes of carelessly
• 1:51:13
  searching around spiritual things.
• 1:51:15
  You're not going to carry the same weight of glory as a man in
• 1:51:19
  total devotion, locking up himself and say Lord your glory
• 1:51:23
  for the sake of my generation, crying out his heart while you
• 1:51:27
  are sleeping there awake searching like Bereans, the word
• 1:51:31
  of God to learn the ways of the Kingdom.
• 1:51:33
  God is a God of love, but he's also a God of justice.
• 1:51:37
  Not everybody will say rise up and walk just because you found
• 1:51:40
  it in the Bible. Let me tell you this, your
• 1:51:42
  consecration is like a it's like a register in the spirit for
• 1:51:46
  every time you devote yourself. It's like the realm of the
• 1:51:49
  spirit is recording it. We're not just talking about the
• 1:51:52
  works of the flesh. But let me tell you for sure,
• 1:51:55
  don't let anybody deceive you that you just sit down and
• 1:51:59
  carelessly not plunge into the things of God and carry weights
• 1:52:03
  of glory. Even if it is the devil you are
• 1:52:06
  serving. There are rankings and it is
• 1:52:08
  still based on consecration and devotion.
• 1:52:10
  This law applies regardless what dimension of the spirit you
• 1:52:13
  switch to. Demons and principalities are
• 1:52:16
  not the same ranking their possibilities are not the same
• 1:52:23
  is. Someone learning there is a call
• 1:52:27
  for a generation. To manage.
• 1:52:29
  Our. Appetite to excessively
• 1:52:33
  socialize away our life. We are on a mission.
• 1:52:36
  Be social, enjoy yourself, but we need to be careful.
• 1:52:40
  We are creating too much justification for the flesh.
• 1:52:44
  Especially if you have answered the call for priesthood.
• 1:52:47
  It's like somebody coming into the military and forgetting
• 1:52:50
  where his uniform is. As a military man, have you ever
• 1:52:54
  seen that happen? That they call on the man and
• 1:52:56
  say report to duty and he says, honestly, it's been a long time.
• 1:52:59
  I don't know where my car is, I don't know where my cloth is, I
• 1:53:02
  don't know where my rifle is. No, the military man, even when
• 1:53:07
  he wears mufti, he knows he's not a civilian.
• 1:53:10
  When duty calls, usually he would be around with something
• 1:53:14
  that gives witnesses. A military man, when duty calls,
• 1:53:17
  he responds. Let me tell you why power is
• 1:53:19
  lacking in the body of Christ. We need to be careful.
• 1:53:22
  I believe in socializing, don't get me wrong.
• 1:53:25
  I believe in enjoying ourselves, but we must not forget we are on
• 1:53:28
  a mission. We are on a mission, Sir.
• 1:53:31
  We are on a mission, Sir. You cannot watch football and
• 1:53:35
  watch match and watch all through the night and by the
• 1:53:38
  morning you just gloss through a note and look at the scripture.
• 1:53:41
  John 315 and you want to come and stand and experience the
• 1:53:44
  power of God. I, I, I, I apologize.
• 1:53:48
  I don't mean to mock your passion and your desire, but you
• 1:53:51
  will never carry certain levels of power.
• 1:53:54
  God has not changed. You can choose to enjoy your
• 1:53:57
  life but don't desire to carry certain certain weights and then
• 1:54:03
  not give you all to it. Someone pray whilst you are
• 1:54:06
  there and say, Lord, grant me the grace to press deeper,
• 1:54:10
  deeper. I think that should be the next
• 1:54:12
  song we'll sing. Is she here?
• 1:54:13
  She's not here Esther. OK, I thought after marriage
• 1:54:18
  she's not on duty. OK, so let's we're going to sing
• 1:54:22
  that song again. That song.
• 1:54:24
  Deeper, just for one. Minute everybody pray.
• 1:54:28
  Please lift your voice and pray. In one minute, Lord, I cry.
• 1:54:33
  By the power of the Holy Spirit, let me dive deep into the river
• 1:54:37
  of intimacy. Intimacy with the Holy Ghost,
• 1:54:41
  intimacy with the Holy Ghost. I can hear His voice.
• 1:54:50
  He's calling me into deep heart. Experience with Him?
• 1:55:01
  I can hear his hands. He's fooling me too.
• 1:55:08
  Deeper experience with him. Yeah, I can hear his voice.
• 1:55:38
  Let it be your prayer tonight. None.
• 1:56:22
  For the sake of my generation, fire upon my old time.
• 1:56:26
  For the sake of the destiny is connected to me, Fire upon my
• 1:56:31
  old time, Fire upon your ministry, Fire upon your
• 1:56:36
  destiny. One more minute from the deck of
• 1:56:51
  your heart. The place of intimacy, the place
• 1:56:56
  of worship, the place in the place of prayer.
• 1:57:46
  Further, may we dive deeper. Deeper levels with the Holy
• 1:57:52
  Ghost. Deeper levels of prayer, deeper
• 1:57:57
  levels of consecration, deeper levels of devotion.
• 1:58:02
  Oh, take us to deeper realms in the spirit.
• 1:58:06
  Deeper realms. It's a hungry suppress.
• 1:58:09
  It's a prayer. Deeper realms beyond preaching,
• 1:58:14
  Deeper realms beyond ministry. The realm of Koinonia.
• 1:58:19
  Intimacy, fellowship with the Holy Ghost that translates to
• 1:58:23
  power and mighty walks. Hallelujah, in the name of
• 1:58:33
  Jesus, please be seated. Let me give you the other keys.
• 1:58:38
  So key number one has the price for mighty walks accessing the
• 1:58:43
  kind of power that. Serves the purposes.
• 1:58:46
  Of God across a territory and over a generation, The price.
• 1:58:51
  Of intimacy and consecration #2 the price of revelation.
• 1:58:59
  Revelation Knowledge. The.
• 1:59:01
  Price to access revelation knowledge, not just head
• 1:59:07
  knowledge, not just mental ascent.
• 1:59:11
  The price to pursue To press. For Revelation.
• 1:59:17
  Knowledge, Second Peter, chapter 1.
• 1:59:20
  And verse 2. Grace and peace be multiplied
• 1:59:24
  onto you through the knowledge of God, not the knowledge of
• 1:59:30
  principles. It first stands with the
• 1:59:32
  knowledge of God, the knowledge of Jesus, then the knowledge of
• 1:59:37
  his ways. Let me tell you this.
• 1:59:39
  The kind of revelation knowledge that translates to power is not
• 1:59:43
  just learning about steps and principles.
• 1:59:47
  I'm a teacher of principles. But you must learn the person,
• 1:59:51
  the knowledge of God, the knowledge of Jesus.
• 1:59:55
  Then you can learn the models of Randy of the Kingdom.
• 1:59:59
  Pressing to learn principles without knowing God just leaves
• 2:00:03
  you as a mere scientist. You need to go beyond the realm
• 2:00:06
  of principles. I know whom I have believed, not
• 2:00:09
  what I believe whom I have believed.
• 2:00:12
  And I am persuaded that he that I believed is able to keep that
• 2:00:18
  which is committed unto him against that day.
• 2:00:21
  The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, the
• 2:00:23
  knowledge of the holy, that is understanding.
• 2:00:27
  But the people that do know their God, they.
• 2:00:30
  Shall be. Strong and they shall do
• 2:00:33
  exploits. John 17 and verse 3.
• 2:00:37
  This is life eternal, that they may know thee, the only true
• 2:00:41
  God, and Jesus whom thou has sent.
• 2:00:46
  The knowledge of God, the knowledge of God, the knowledge
• 2:00:49
  of God, the knowledge of God you must press to.
• 2:00:54
  Know God. Listen to my message, The
• 2:00:56
  knowledge of the Holy you must press to know God.
• 2:01:01
  I preached a message many years ago called Knowing God
• 2:01:03
  Experientially. It's a very powerful message.
• 2:01:10
  Many believers do not know that God wants to be known, but it.
• 2:01:14
  Takes a price to know God, the labor of the Word, to know God.
• 2:01:20
  But if you do know God, there's confidence.
• 2:01:23
  That comes when you know. God.
• 2:01:25
  There's audacity that comes when you know God.
• 2:01:28
  I know whom I have believed and I am persuaded.
• 2:01:32
  The foundation for Bible faith, and I'll be talking about that
• 2:01:34
  shortly, is the knowledge of God.
• 2:01:36
  Not just the knowledge of principles.
• 2:01:38
  You know why? Because God is going to give you
• 2:01:41
  instructions that will seem to defy every principle you know.
• 2:01:45
  I'm telling you, knowing principles alone will leave you
• 2:01:48
  afraid. The mandate upon your life will
• 2:01:51
  require more than knowing principles.
• 2:01:55
  You need to know God. There are times the only anchor
• 2:01:59
  you stand on is God sent me, God told me, God said move.
• 2:02:04
  Where to? I don't know.
• 2:02:06
  But by principle you should always know the end before you
• 2:02:09
  move. But God said move that the signs
• 2:02:12
  will follow as I move a generation.
• 2:02:18
  That does not pay the price to know.
• 2:02:19
  God is. A generation that will.
• 2:02:22
  Be and remain powerless. It's a sacrifice to know God,
• 2:02:26
  but there is value, there is profit in knowing God.
• 2:02:31
  Is someone learning? So the revelation of God, the
• 2:02:35
  revelation of Jesus, then the revelation of his ways, the
• 2:02:40
  mysteries of the Kingdom, Matthew 1311, Jeremiah 616.
• 2:02:47
  You see that the knowledge of the ways.
• 2:02:49
  Of God, the knowledge of the. Ways of God Understanding the
• 2:02:53
  modus operandi of the Kingdom. Ephesians 117 to 21.
• 2:02:58
  The knowledge of God, the knowledge of his ways.
• 2:03:01
  It's important that you know His ways.
• 2:03:03
  He wants you to know His ways. He wants you to find that
• 2:03:07
  ancient part, the paths that the ancient followed that left them
• 2:03:11
  as people of power. They started as weak people,
• 2:03:14
  uneducated people, idol worshippers, no bodies.
• 2:03:19
  But they followed a certain path, a certain trajectory in
• 2:03:23
  life and in the spirit, and it ended them as mighty men,
• 2:03:27
  weighty men, men of power and capacity.
• 2:03:30
  God has not changed. There is a path.
• 2:03:33
  If an ordinary man follows, he will end up as an apostle.
• 2:03:37
  There is a path, if an ordinary man follows, he ends up as a
• 2:03:40
  prophet. There is a path, if an ordinary
• 2:03:43
  man follows, he ends up as a Joseph.
• 2:03:45
  He ends up as a as as as a Deborah.
• 2:03:49
  He ends up as an Esther. I told you that all the names
• 2:03:52
  you see in the Bible, they're not just stories having
• 2:03:55
  individuals, they are spiritual pathways that lead to a certain
• 2:04:00
  kind of believer. So Abraham is not just the name
• 2:04:03
  of a man. It's not just the story of a
• 2:04:05
  man. Abraham is also the name of a
• 2:04:08
  spiritual pathway that turns a believer to become a certain
• 2:04:12
  kind of believer. Elijah is a spiritual pathway.
• 2:04:16
  Mary is a kind of spiritual pathway.
• 2:04:18
  Are we together? Yeah.
• 2:04:20
  Roof These are all spiritual pathways.
• 2:04:23
  One of the ways you will know God is training you is that
• 2:04:26
  somewhere along the line, in the course of your training, you
• 2:04:29
  will begin to see a parallel of who you are becoming in the
• 2:04:33
  Bible. No matter how unique your
• 2:04:36
  ministry is, it will have a witness of what you are doing in
• 2:04:39
  the Bible. That's why the Bible has a
• 2:04:41
  plethora of characters. If you don't look like anybody
• 2:04:45
  in the Bible, look like Jesus. If you don't, then it's a demon
• 2:04:48
  leading you somewhere. It's summer learning, so you can
• 2:04:52
  start as an. Ordinary believer, but.
• 2:04:54
  Later on I should see Elijah forming, or Joseph forming, or
• 2:04:58
  Paul forming, or Peter forming, or if no human character, at
• 2:05:03
  least Jesus. See that one of the ways you
• 2:05:07
  verify your training in? The Spirit is.
• 2:05:09
  To search, searching diligently for the Bible parallel of who
• 2:05:13
  you are becoming, it helps to verify the pathway you are
• 2:05:17
  following. No matter how unique and how
• 2:05:20
  mysterious your call is, you must find someone who looks like
• 2:05:25
  where God is taking you to and what He's doing in your life.
• 2:05:29
  And if you cannot find any, you certainly should be able to find
• 2:05:32
  Jesus being formed in you, My little children, of whom I
• 2:05:35
  travail in birth, until Christ be formed in you.
• 2:05:41
  The press for knowledge. Please go for knowledge.
• 2:05:44
  Invest in knowledge. The truth is bought.
• 2:05:47
  It is bought sometimes with physical money because you have
• 2:05:50
  to go and buy materials. But there are no black
• 2:05:53
  currencies. We used to buy the truth.
• 2:05:54
  Hunger, passion, adaptation, sacrifice.
• 2:05:59
  You buy the truth and then you sell it.
• 2:06:02
  Not it says my son pay. Attention to my words incline
• 2:06:08
  your. Ears to my sayings, do not let
• 2:06:11
  them depart from your heart. It says they are live to those
• 2:06:14
  who find them and health to their flesh.
• 2:06:18
  They are life to those who find them, not those who want them.
• 2:06:22
  Those who find them not those who need them, those who find
• 2:06:26
  them, not those who desire them. Desire is important, but you
• 2:06:30
  must go past the realm of desire to access revelation.
• 2:06:34
  Proverbs 18 One through desire a man haven't separated himself
• 2:06:38
  secret and intermediate with wisdom through desire through
• 2:06:43
  desire. Paul prayed over the church in
• 2:06:47
  Ephesus. That the eyes of our
• 2:06:49
  understanding being enlightened that we may know is the Greek
• 2:06:53
  word epignosis. Coming to oneness with what has
• 2:06:56
  been said, that we may know the hope of His calling, and the
• 2:06:59
  riches of the glory of the inheritance in the Saints, and
• 2:07:03
  then the exceeding greatness of His power to us.
• 2:07:06
  What who believe that was Paul's prayer efficient?
• 2:07:11
  418 says having their understanding.
• 2:07:13
  Darkened being. Alienated from the life of God
• 2:07:16
  through the ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of
• 2:07:20
  your heart. Colossians 316 Let the word of
• 2:07:23
  Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom.
• 2:07:26
  Let it dwell in you richly in all wisdom.
• 2:07:29
  Let it dwell in you richly in all wisdom.
• 2:07:34
  You need light high. Level spiritual illumination.
• 2:07:38
  High level, High level. This business of Kingdom come
• 2:07:42
  requires revelation. You cannot represent the
• 2:07:45
  purposes of God in ignorance. Power is related to knowledge.
• 2:07:49
  Power is connected to knowledge. A sound doctrinal understanding,
• 2:07:54
  a sound prophetic understanding of the world, a thorough
• 2:07:57
  understanding of the ways of God.
• 2:08:01
  I found your word and I did eat it it.
• 2:08:04
  Became a joy and a rejoicing. To me, the light shined in the
• 2:08:08
  darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.
• 2:08:12
  Our eyes shine, For your light is come, and the glory of the
• 2:08:16
  Lord is risen upon you. Your light is come, and the
• 2:08:19
  glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
• 2:08:21
  Your light is come, and the power of the Lord is risen upon
• 2:08:24
  you. God who had commanded light to
• 2:08:31
  shine out of darkness. The Bible says he has shined.
• 2:08:34
  Upon our hearts to reveal the knowledge of God as the glory of
• 2:08:38
  God as seen in the face of Jesus.
• 2:08:40
  He had commanded light to shine out of darkness.
• 2:08:43
  He has now shined in our hearts to reveal the light of the
• 2:08:47
  knowledge of the glory of God as seen on the face of Jesus.
• 2:08:51
  Please go for knowledge. If you're a man of God, go for.
• 2:08:54
  Knowledge don't say God. Is not announcing me.
• 2:08:56
  He doesn't want to disgrace you. Go for knowledge.
• 2:09:00
  Keeping you quiet is an act of His mercy so that you don't
• 2:09:04
  close certain doors that remain eternally closed.
• 2:09:07
  Please pay the price. Pay the price and go for
• 2:09:09
  knowledge. Don't learn to preach, learn to
• 2:09:12
  grow, learn to grow, learn to grow.
• 2:09:14
  The purpose of knowledge is not to find a sermon.
• 2:09:17
  The purpose of knowledge is to become.
• 2:09:19
  When you evolve, the Bible says if it dwells in you richly.
• 2:09:23
  Colossians 316. The fullness of the word in you
• 2:09:27
  grants you the power to teach and to admonish. 2 Things
• 2:09:30
  immediately follow teaching and admonishing.
• 2:09:34
  When you are full of light, you cannot but teach and admonish #3
• 2:09:47
  price #1 is the price of intimacy and.
• 2:09:49
  Consecration total. Devotion and embracing of the
• 2:09:53
  minister of the Holy Spirit and a desire to allow the revelation
• 2:09:58
  of Jesus be the principal and the highest motivation behind
• 2:10:02
  everything you do #2 the price and the press to access
• 2:10:08
  revelation, revelation knowledge, The revelation of
• 2:10:11
  God, the revelation of His Son and the revelation of His ways
• 2:10:16
  #3 the third price responsible for hosting the power of God and
• 2:10:22
  walking mighty walks is the price of violent faith.
• 2:10:28
  The price of violent faith. Matthew 1112 The Price.
• 2:10:38
  Of violent faith, right from the.
• 2:10:41
  Days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom, the
• 2:10:45
  advancement of it, the press for Kingdom come has suffered
• 2:10:49
  violence and it says the spiritually violent will take it
• 2:10:55
  by force. Your portion by force, your
• 2:10:59
  bishopric by force, the speakings of God over your life
• 2:11:04
  by force. If there's anything you need to
• 2:11:06
  learn about Satan is that he's a stubborn spirit.
• 2:11:10
  He doesn't leave just because you say leave how?
• 2:11:13
  Forcible are. Right words, there has to be
• 2:11:16
  power exerted. Psalm 66 and verse 3 say unto
• 2:11:20
  God, how? Terrible are thou?
• 2:11:22
  In thy walks, he says, it is true, the greatness of your
• 2:11:25
  power, that your enemies will submit yourself to you.
• 2:11:29
  Faith is a force. It's a potent force, violent
• 2:11:33
  faith. Hebrews 11 and verse one.
• 2:11:35
  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for.
• 2:11:39
  He calls it the evidence of things not seen, the tangibility
• 2:11:43
  of the things that are not seen. For by 8 verse 2, the elders
• 2:11:47
  obtained a good report. Verse 3 says through faith we
• 2:11:50
  understand that the walls, the ions were made framed by the
• 2:11:55
  word of God. Faith.
• 2:11:58
  Faith predicated upon the knowledge of God.
• 2:12:02
  Verse 6. Without faith it is impossible
• 2:12:05
  to please him, because he that cometh unto God as a law must
• 2:12:09
  come. Believe him that He exists, and
• 2:12:12
  then that is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
• 2:12:16
  Faith. What is faith?
• 2:12:20
  Your confident assurance and expression of your conviction.
• 2:12:25
  Your depth of persuasion about God and the integrity of His
• 2:12:30
  Word. What is faith?
• 2:12:32
  The name given to the action of obedience you take in honor to
• 2:12:36
  the fact that you believe God. Faith talks about your
• 2:12:41
  persuasion. The confident.
• 2:12:44
  Assurance you have that God is not a fraudster, that God is not
• 2:12:49
  a scam. Are we together that I believe
• 2:12:53
  him enough and I'm persuaded? And then faith furthermore
• 2:12:57
  describes the action of obedience you take as proof that
• 2:13:03
  you believe Him. If it be thou beat me, come, he
• 2:13:06
  said. Come violent faith, the word
• 2:13:09
  violence is the description of the extent of aggression, the
• 2:13:14
  risk that you can take as proof that you believe God.
• 2:13:17
  That is the measure where the word violent.
• 2:13:19
  There is a military word, but it doesn't just mean contention.
• 2:13:23
  The word violence is an attempt is a word that is borrowed to
• 2:13:27
  show the extent of aggression in terms of the risk.
• 2:13:31
  You are able to take this risk this much to go this far as
• 2:13:36
  proof that you love God. Let me tell you this Destiny,
• 2:13:40
  actualization and advancing the cause of the Kingdom will
• 2:13:44
  require violent faith. Many of us have what we call
• 2:13:50
  auxiliary. Faith.
• 2:13:52
  Faith that. Cries for a human auxiliary
• 2:13:55
  system of support in case it fails.
• 2:13:58
  There are times in your life where you will be required to
• 2:14:01
  take certain steps of faith. If I perish, I perish kind of
• 2:14:06
  faith. We live in a world that is
• 2:14:08
  obsessed with guarantees. Little wonder we don't do much
• 2:14:11
  for the Kingdom. There are times you are going to
• 2:14:13
  have to trust God and walk on water.
• 2:14:15
  And if you if you drown, believe in him.
• 2:14:18
  He will be responsible enough to defend His name in your life and
• 2:14:21
  not let you drown like Peter. I pray for you, the grace to
• 2:14:26
  grow through the study of the world, to the measure of faith
• 2:14:29
  it takes to host the glory that your destiny and God's program
• 2:14:34
  committed to you demands. I pray for you from the depth of
• 2:14:38
  my heart. May that measure of faith be
• 2:14:40
  imparted upon you. There are different levels of
• 2:14:44
  faith. We're not doing a teaching.
• 2:14:46
  On faith tonight, but there. Is what we call the Word of
• 2:14:49
  Faith. There is what we call the gift
• 2:14:53
  of faith as one of the fruits of the Spirit.
• 2:14:56
  Then there is the spirit of faith.
• 2:14:59
  These are different levels, different measures of the
• 2:15:02
  operation of the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ and it
• 2:15:05
  produces different outcomes. But one thing for sure is that
• 2:15:09
  doing business for God and the business of Kingdom come is
• 2:15:13
  faith dependent. There are no guarantees, no
• 2:15:16
  guarantees you to require faith to build that ministry.
• 2:15:21
  It will require faith to raise your children in an economically
• 2:15:25
  harsh climate. It requires faith to still give
• 2:15:29
  in an economically harsh climate.
• 2:15:31
  It requires faith to believe God for the healing in your body
• 2:15:35
  when the doctor has already told you that you have less than a
• 2:15:38
  year. You are seeing the report.
• 2:15:40
  You feel the sign that this is cancer.
• 2:15:42
  You know that this is some disease.
• 2:15:45
  You've read about it. You've seen the destructive
• 2:15:47
  effect of it. You are losing weight.
• 2:15:49
  You can see it. And yet you believe the Bible
• 2:15:54
  says whom we have not seen. And how did he?
• 2:15:57
  Put it that even though we have not.
• 2:15:58
  Seen we yet rejoice, we joy unspeakable, full of glory.
• 2:16:02
  Find that verse for us an expression of faith that even
• 2:16:06
  though we have not yet seen, we rejoice and we are full of joy.
• 2:16:10
  Faith us joy unspeakable, full of glory, joy unspeakable.
• 2:16:16
  Can you give us the Scripture? Joy unspeakable?
• 2:16:18
  Yeah. First Peter Chapter 1 Whom have
• 2:16:21
  not seen ye love, in whom though now you see him not yet
• 2:16:27
  believing, because you have faith, you rejoice with joy,
• 2:16:30
  unspeakable rejoicing over things that are not yet
• 2:16:33
  manifest, a job that has not come.
• 2:16:36
  You speak with boldness, a ministry that is yet to grow.
• 2:16:39
  Yet you say we are penetrating systems where we are bringing
• 2:16:42
  salvation to nations. Are we together?
• 2:16:45
  You are still trusting God for your rent, and yet you are
• 2:16:48
  speaking in the name of Jesus. In the nearest future, I'll set
• 2:16:51
  up an NGO and in the name of Jesus I will be empowering
• 2:16:54
  people and nations. Faith is not ashamed to declare
• 2:16:59
  the word. Faith is not.
• 2:17:01
  Ashamed to declare what God said.
• 2:17:03
  Faith is not ashamed of who He is.
• 2:17:06
  Let God be the one to take the shame while He takes the glory
• 2:17:10
  too. He cannot take the glory while I
• 2:17:13
  take the shame. If I take the shame, that means
• 2:17:15
  I've been taking the glory. He takes everything, both the
• 2:17:18
  shame and the glory. Believing God puts pressure upon
• 2:17:23
  his integrity, and God is not a man that he should lie.
• 2:17:28
  He's not a son of man, that he. Should repent, hath he said it,
• 2:17:32
  and will he not do it? Hath he spoken, and will he not
• 2:17:35
  make it good? He's not a man that he should
• 2:17:38
  lie. The price of violent faith.
• 2:17:44
  Time will fail me tonight to tell you stories.
• 2:17:48
  Stories of the exploits of faith.
• 2:17:51
  From this our little. Journey.
• 2:17:54
  It's not just been a journey of vision.
• 2:17:56
  It's been a journey of faith, taking risky steps without
• 2:18:00
  guarantees. And some of those steps failed.
• 2:18:04
  But God defended His name because we sincerely took that
• 2:18:07
  step in His name. Are we together?
• 2:18:11
  Not every part of the. Journey brought. 100% result.
• 2:18:16
  But even where we could not meet up, God came to the rescue to
• 2:18:20
  defend His name, because we got up in the name of the Lord.
• 2:18:26
  Let me tell you something I've learned with God.
• 2:18:29
  I've taught you here that if you.
• 2:18:30
  Take a step towards this direction, fully persuaded that
• 2:18:34
  God LED you, even if it is a mistake in your hearing, but it
• 2:18:39
  was sincere from your heart. You believe you had God.
• 2:18:41
  God will remove the door here and put it there to make sure
• 2:18:45
  you walk through the right door. That is how much God is
• 2:18:47
  determined that you don't miss Him.
• 2:18:49
  Sometimes people make it look as if God is enjoying that you miss
• 2:18:53
  His will. It is not very easy to miss the
• 2:18:55
  will of God. It takes a consistent level of
• 2:18:58
  rebellion to miss the will of God.
• 2:19:00
  God defends your walking in His will for His namesake.
• 2:19:04
  It takes a lot of Labor in the Spirit to bring you to AU tone.
• 2:19:09
  There are many people who took sincere steps.
• 2:19:12
  That were not part of the. Original script, but they took
• 2:19:15
  it sincerely in the name of the Lord.
• 2:19:17
  God made a way and defended His name in their life.
• 2:19:21
  And surprisingly, while you thought they will never arrive,
• 2:19:24
  you were surprised to see them sitting on the throne of their
• 2:19:26
  destinies. How did you get there?
• 2:19:28
  I know that the journey you started was east, but I know
• 2:19:32
  enough to know that your your destiny is West.
• 2:19:35
  God for his namesake. He turned the globe around for
• 2:19:38
  your sake so that your W becomes east by force to make sure you
• 2:19:41
  sit there. Look, be confident when you walk
• 2:19:44
  with God. Don't let man make you feel.
• 2:19:47
  It's very easy to miss out on God.
• 2:19:50
  He defends you for his namesake. It's someone learning, living a
• 2:19:58
  life that is. Perpetually looking for
• 2:20:00
  guarantees will. Slow you down and you will not
• 2:20:03
  be halfway when your time on earth is over.
• 2:20:07
  Violent face if it be down. Beat me.
• 2:20:10
  Come. Beat me, come Apostle, I want to
• 2:20:14
  start the business. God has told me and he's told me
• 2:20:18
  it's my season. But as I am right now, the only
• 2:20:21
  money I have is to register. The company in CACI don't even
• 2:20:25
  have what to start and God is telling me that one day I will
• 2:20:28
  be giving to nations. Why don't you believe him enough
• 2:20:32
  to start go and register? The company then.
• 2:20:34
  Present the certificate. The woman who received the
• 2:20:38
  miracle, she obeyed the Prophet step one.
• 2:20:41
  The Prophet never told her Step 2 till she brought back the
• 2:20:44
  report of step one. Go to your house, poured the
• 2:20:48
  vessels and all of that. And when she astonished, she
• 2:20:51
  went back and said, I've finished, He said.
• 2:20:52
  Now you go and sell it, repair the people you are owing and
• 2:20:57
  live off the rest. The reason why you have.
• 2:20:59
  Not had the second instruction is because for the last five
• 2:21:02
  years you didn't obey the first. God said give, He said.
• 2:21:07
  God is because you are, you are in.
• 2:21:08
  Heaven, you are not in Nigeria. That's the reason why you, you
• 2:21:12
  don't drive a car with fuel, with gas.
• 2:21:15
  That's why you are speaking because the the the streets of
• 2:21:18
  heaven is surrounded with gold and God says, well, I respect
• 2:21:22
  your own belief, but remain there with the consequences of
• 2:21:24
  unbelief and someone will take a rugged faith.
• 2:21:27
  Let me tell you what someone did one day and it may not work like
• 2:21:30
  that for everybody. So make sure you really believe
• 2:21:33
  before you listen to my story. God instructed the person to
• 2:21:37
  carry a seat. I think it was supposed to be
• 2:21:40
  like almost everything he had, I think.
• 2:21:43
  And he, he just joined the queue to see me and already had had a
• 2:21:47
  witness in my heart. As soon as I saw him, he was all
• 2:21:50
  in the envelope. And I looked at the gentleman.
• 2:21:52
  I knew that he was not somebody who would have so much.
• 2:21:55
  And I thought to myself, I said, do you believe what you're
• 2:21:57
  doing? He said yes, God instructed me.
• 2:22:00
  And while he was ministering, while he was talking, the Holy
• 2:22:03
  Spirit ministered to me and say receive it, bless it, add a seed
• 2:22:07
  on it and give him. He said, I'm only teaching him
• 2:22:09
  faith. So I received the seed and then
• 2:22:13
  I hold it and I. Bring out some money.
• 2:22:15
  Add to it and I bless it and I give him back and the gentleman,
• 2:22:18
  you could see tears coming because it was a risk.
• 2:22:24
  A risk? But even if I collected the.
• 2:22:28
  Thing I went with it. Because it was an.
• 2:22:30
  Act of faith, God will not leave him, leave him crying.
• 2:22:33
  That's why I gave you a disclaimer because don't think
• 2:22:35
  you'll play games with God. You will take the seed.
• 2:22:38
  God will tell the person collect it and you say OK you go and you
• 2:22:42
  go back and say God I had a story.
• 2:22:44
  The Spirit of Jesus is his testimony.
• 2:22:47
  Make sure you we teach people to be very wise in church because
• 2:22:51
  sometimes members are very funny people.
• 2:22:53
  Somebody will stand up and not understand and do things that
• 2:22:56
  are not out of faith and return back angry.
• 2:23:02
  Is someone learning? Say I believe in Jesus.
• 2:23:07
  Say it again, Say I. Believe in Jesus.
• 2:23:11
  I believe his plans for my life. No, you didn't say it like you.
• 2:23:15
  Believe, say I believe his plans for my life.
• 2:23:18
  I believe I will fulfill it. And no power.
• 2:23:22
  Will stop me. This is what I believed about
• 2:23:27
  myself. I still do.
• 2:23:27
  Believe. I believe there is.
• 2:23:29
  A space for me in God's program. It's not a space I created by
• 2:23:33
  myself. It's a preordination as an act
• 2:23:35
  of His mercy. It took diligence to come into
• 2:23:38
  it, and I'm grateful for the grace that's been supplied and
• 2:23:41
  that no power can pluck me out of His hand.
• 2:23:44
  I believe there is a space for Koinonia in God's grand
• 2:23:48
  prophetic scheme of things. I know what a joy to be at the
• 2:23:51
  cutting edge of what He's doing, leading the nations to know Him,
• 2:23:55
  leading the nations to experience the power of God.
• 2:23:58
  Next month, just few weeks, we're beginning our series of
• 2:24:01
  sound of revival. Are you happy about that?
• 2:24:05
  An opportunity to show the devil again that Jesus.
• 2:24:08
  Is alive. An opportunity to take his life
• 2:24:11
  and power. You have no idea how.
• 2:24:14
  It gladdens my heart, not because we're travelling
• 2:24:16
  overseas, but because it's an opportunity to see the
• 2:24:20
  consistency of faith anywhere it is applied.
• 2:24:31
  Let me give you. #4 so #3 the third.
• 2:24:36
  Prize for mighty works is violent faith, Bible believing
• 2:24:41
  faith, engaging the Word with courage, engaging the Word with
• 2:24:46
  obedience, engaging the Word with confidence, and staying
• 2:24:51
  until it delivers. Let me give you #4 Are you
• 2:24:54
  ready? Now take.
• 2:24:56
  Note of #4. And five, I'll stop at 5:00, but
• 2:25:00
  take note of #4 and five, the 4th key, if you want to walk in
• 2:25:06
  mighty walks and carry very serious dimensions of God's
• 2:25:11
  anointing is the price of humility.
• 2:25:14
  James four, and verse 6, the price of humility.
• 2:25:18
  Oh, I can preach all day to my dear generation and show you
• 2:25:23
  accurately from Scripture that it is in this one area many of
• 2:25:28
  us have made costly mistakes that are costing God's program
• 2:25:32
  right now, that God giveth more grace.
• 2:25:36
  Wherefore he saith, God resisted or opposes the proud, but He
• 2:25:42
  giveth grace, even more grace to the humble.
• 2:25:48
  A life of humility. Perpetually acknowledging.
• 2:25:52
  God as the reason and the basis for any result in your life.
• 2:25:57
  Let me tell you this humility is not usual for the natural man.
• 2:26:02
  We are not naturally humble. There is something about the
• 2:26:06
  fallen man. There is something about the
• 2:26:09
  natural man that craves to be celebrated, that craves the
• 2:26:13
  spotlight, that craves to be at the epicenter of attention.
• 2:26:18
  We like influence, we like significance.
• 2:26:21
  We like the spotlight. We are addicted to attention,
• 2:26:26
  especially in our social media age, and as profitable as that
• 2:26:31
  can be. If God does not help us to.
• 2:26:34
  Tame the pride that evolves from that kind of desire.
• 2:26:38
  We'll find ourselves shooting our own selves and sabotaging
• 2:26:43
  our journey to power and mighty works.
• 2:26:46
  A life of humility. I have profound regard for
• 2:26:51
  humble people. Genuinely humble people.
• 2:26:55
  Non pretentiously humble, especially when they have
• 2:26:58
  results to show. Or you command my respect in a
• 2:27:02
  in a way that will surprise you when you are someone who is
• 2:27:06
  mighty and yet humble. Humility.
• 2:27:11
  I detest pride like cancer. Unfortunately, many of us are
• 2:27:20
  not able to rise to the more of God for us because of pride.
• 2:27:25
  And there are various ways pride expresses itself, various ways
• 2:27:32
  you must learn the law of humility.
• 2:27:35
  And you must teach. Yourself and train yourself in
• 2:27:39
  the Spirit. The reason why Jesus Christ was
• 2:27:42
  so highly lifted was not because he was the Son of God.
• 2:27:45
  He followed the path of humility.
• 2:27:48
  He says, let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ
• 2:27:51
  Jesus past us. Let's return to the template of
• 2:27:55
  humility. Mighty men in business,
• 2:27:58
  professionals, let's return to the path of humility.
• 2:28:02
  Pride is a killer. Anything plus pride will deplete
• 2:28:06
  it. Pride depletes glory.
• 2:28:09
  It depletes honor. It depletes testimonies, it
• 2:28:12
  depletes anything good. Pride reduces it.
• 2:28:17
  It subtracts. It divides.
• 2:28:20
  Pride is an amplifier of anything evil.
• 2:28:25
  I've told you here that it is difficult to.
• 2:28:27
  Criticize humble people. Even when they are wrong, it's
• 2:28:31
  difficult because there is a presence, there is an aura that
• 2:28:35
  true humility carries. You see that there is.
• 2:28:43
  Need for a re examination of our pride.
• 2:28:46
  As preachers, our pride, as politicians our pride, as you
• 2:28:52
  know, wealthy businessmen or businessmen generally, our pride
• 2:28:56
  as captains of industry. It is very natural and usual for
• 2:29:00
  men to be proud, especially when they have some results to show
• 2:29:04
  for it. One of the ways to work.
• 2:29:09
  In humility is to remember where God took you from. #2 Remember,
• 2:29:14
  no man is indispensable. The moment you begin to speak a
• 2:29:18
  language of exclusivity, as if God has no options, just know
• 2:29:23
  that you have entered the Luciferian dimension of your
• 2:29:25
  fall. Is someone learning?
• 2:29:31
  He opposes the proud. Emoji pride kills.
• 2:29:36
  Pride kills. Don't wait until your life
• 2:29:39
  becomes a template of that truth.
• 2:29:41
  Pride kills apostles. Pride kills prophets,
• 2:29:46
  evangelists, pastors. Pride kills.
• 2:29:53
  Hallelujah. Once you start.
• 2:29:57
  Having a feeling? Without me, God cannot do it.
• 2:30:02
  Without me, the department cannot walk.
• 2:30:05
  Without me the. Church cannot move without me.
• 2:30:08
  The move of God will suffer. And not that you are saying it
• 2:30:12
  with a sense of brokenness, but but braggadociously.
• 2:30:16
  Once you get to that point, just know that you are putting
• 2:30:19
  yourself at risk because I taught you here, Koinonia, that
• 2:30:23
  if God fights you, the anointing cannot help you.
• 2:30:26
  The anointing does not fight God.
• 2:30:29
  The anointing fights What is Antichrist?
• 2:30:32
  So you are not going to. Bind and cast Jesus Christ.
• 2:30:39
  I desire all my life that God will grant me the grace to work
• 2:30:43
  in humility. And I tell you this, the higher
• 2:30:45
  you rise, the harder it is to stay humble, that your effort
• 2:30:50
  taking advantage of the grace of God, it becomes conscious.
• 2:30:54
  There are times you will have to intentionally deny yourself
• 2:30:58
  certain privileges so that you will maintain a template that is
• 2:31:02
  modest enough for your own safety.
• 2:31:06
  Hallelujah, humility. There are times where the
• 2:31:10
  results. Upon your life, the results that
• 2:31:13
  flow through your life become so compelling.
• 2:31:16
  That's what I'm teaching tonight.
• 2:31:18
  That's where God wants to take you.
• 2:31:19
  But you must have the precaution that when God begins to lift
• 2:31:23
  you, something happens. You become high headed, you
• 2:31:27
  become high minded. You see that unconsciously, The
• 2:31:32
  things we say, the body language, the energy that is
• 2:31:36
  emitted from our pride, our dispositions, all of these are
• 2:31:40
  languages and gestures that show that we are, we believe we are
• 2:31:45
  self-sufficient. And that's why retreats are very
• 2:31:48
  powerful because that's. Where God threshes.
• 2:31:51
  Out all those excesses and brings you to the point of
• 2:31:54
  humility. I will be foolish today to
• 2:31:56
  imagine and now have been so flattered it will be an insult
• 2:32:00
  on my growth to believe today that without me God's program
• 2:32:04
  will suffer. No no where before I was born
• 2:32:07
  God has been moving. It's only a privilege to be part
• 2:32:10
  of what he's doing. But with or without me if.
• 2:32:16
  I make up my mind today and I say God.
• 2:32:18
  I'm not interested in you. He will insist on me for a
• 2:32:20
  while, but if he knows and sees that I've made a conscious
• 2:32:24
  decision, he will respect me and raise many, many more.
• 2:32:27
  Let me tell you this. There is nothing more painful
• 2:32:34
  as. Allowing pride to edge you away
• 2:32:37
  from the epicenter of what God is doing.
• 2:32:40
  And in your lifetime you see the person carrying your bishopric.
• 2:32:43
  I hope you know you can be alive and see somebody.
• 2:32:46
  There are many ministries that have risen up in this nation.
• 2:32:50
  I can tell you without sounding arrogant, there are a
• 2:32:53
  replacement for the pride of many that has taunted the
• 2:32:57
  program of God. You can literally see a ministry
• 2:33:00
  rise and know that this rose as a correction because of pride.
• 2:33:06
  Let your prayer be Lord, do not replace me with a stone.
• 2:33:10
  Do not replace me with a stone. I do not.
• 2:33:13
  I know you can do. Without me, I know you can do
• 2:33:16
  without me. I know you can do without me.
• 2:33:19
  But please let me be part of your program.
• 2:33:22
  May I never get to a point where I feel without my finances, the
• 2:33:26
  church will not move. Without my intellectual
• 2:33:29
  contribution, your program will not move.
• 2:33:33
  Are you praying that prayer one minute?
• 2:33:35
  The grace for humility. Some of these braggadocio
• 2:33:39
  statements we make, sometimes we don't make the statements.
• 2:33:43
  Our words convey humility, but our lives and the energy conveys
• 2:33:48
  pride. It's like what Isaac said.
• 2:33:52
  The hand is the hand of Esau, but the voice is the voice of
• 2:33:55
  Jacob. Sometimes the voice can be the
• 2:33:58
  voice of humility, but the body language and the gesture is a
• 2:34:02
  gesture of pride. We can kneel down an evil role
• 2:34:05
  before God, but the energy that is emitted from that is still
• 2:34:09
  pride. Someone pray for one minute.
• 2:34:15
  For a preacher, would you? Lift your voice and say.
• 2:34:17
  Lord, keep me humble. Lord, may I never be too deaf
• 2:34:21
  that I don't hear when you are warning me.
• 2:34:23
  May I never be too deaf. May I not allow the uploads of
• 2:34:28
  men to get so loud that I don't hear when you are calling me to
• 2:34:32
  caution. May I never grow so big that you
• 2:34:37
  cannot draw me and correct me and discipline me and.
• 2:34:43
  Chastise me in. Righteousness and bring me to
• 2:34:46
  that place of humility. Hallelujah, I feel.
• 2:34:59
  Steady in my heart to. Speak to someone and I'm sensing
• 2:35:02
  this. By the spirit you used to do
• 2:35:04
  well financially what you got to A level and this is the Holy
• 2:35:08
  Ghost ministering to me. Maybe you are watching online.
• 2:35:11
  You're a business person. You got to a level where
• 2:35:14
  honestly things were walking and it looked like you had held.
• 2:35:18
  You had literally mastered the laws of finances.
• 2:35:21
  Wealth was coming as if you held a charm, and unknown to you, if
• 2:35:26
  pride began to grow, friends would call you several names.
• 2:35:29
  And because of pride it LED you to make decisions that has
• 2:35:33
  brought you down. Now the Lord is asking me to
• 2:35:35
  speak to you. The only way up is the way of
• 2:35:38
  humility. The way of humility, if my
• 2:35:41
  people who are called by my name, if they shall humble
• 2:35:47
  themselves. Leave prayer.
• 2:35:50
  Practice humility first, except if prayer will lead you to
• 2:35:53
  humility. The Bible talks about humbling
• 2:35:56
  yourself. Go to verse 13.
• 2:35:58
  Look at what happens that necessitates that prayer.
• 2:36:01
  If I shut up the heavens that there be no rain, or if I
• 2:36:05
  command the locals to devour the land, or if I send pestilence
• 2:36:09
  among My people, then it says if My people in response to that,
• 2:36:13
  they are called by My name. But because of pride they
• 2:36:16
  brought calamity upon themselves.
• 2:36:18
  But if they shall humble themselves and pray and seek My
• 2:36:23
  face and turn from their wicked ways, it says that when I hear
• 2:36:27
  from heaven I will forgive their sins and heal their lands.
• 2:36:31
  There are many ministries today who were at the prophetic
• 2:36:35
  cutting edge of what God was doing, but in their pride they
• 2:36:39
  never believe God will raise others.
• 2:36:42
  And right now they have become shadows, just empty gongs with
• 2:36:46
  nothing significant in the spirit.
• 2:36:49
  There are many people with all due respect, even in the worship
• 2:36:52
  ministry, they got to a point where they were full of
• 2:36:55
  themselves, the stage God. They got addicted to fame that
• 2:37:00
  they forgot that the purpose of the glory was to serve.
• 2:37:03
  Listen to my message Ichabod. It's a very powerful.
• 2:37:07
  Message. It's a Clarion call to a
• 2:37:09
  generation. Also listen to my message, the
• 2:37:11
  rich young ruler. These two messages are powerful.
• 2:37:15
  Rich dash young dash ruler. It's a powerful message.
• 2:37:28
  That God will keep us humble as a ministry, would you say Amen.
• 2:37:33
  That regardless the things God is doing, thank God for the
• 2:37:36
  dramatic, tremendous or inspiring testimonies.
• 2:37:41
  Wonderful things, a good time to be alive, seeing what God can do
• 2:37:46
  through a people. Let me tell you this, any man of
• 2:37:49
  God you truly love, your first prayer for that person is not
• 2:37:53
  more power. Your first prayer is Lord.
• 2:37:55
  Keep the person humble. You don't need to do too much of
• 2:37:58
  prayer for power when humility is in place.
• 2:38:03
  Are we together? Intercessors learn this.
• 2:38:06
  One of the greatest. Prayer points for a man of God
• 2:38:09
  you love or for someone who is at the cutting edge of God's
• 2:38:13
  prophetic program. I am telling you, if you see God
• 2:38:17
  lifting anybody, don't just clap and celebrate.
• 2:38:19
  Your prayer is Lord. Keep them.
• 2:38:22
  The real longevity factor is humility.
• 2:38:26
  Humility. You may have heard me say it.
• 2:38:28
  Let me repeat it again for those of you who have not heard.
• 2:38:31
  It takes vision to start your journey in life.
• 2:38:35
  It takes discipline to continue, but it takes mercy to finish.
• 2:38:42
  You can start by vision. You can continue through
• 2:38:46
  discipline. But I'm telling you the
• 2:38:49
  vicissitudes of life and the reality of what befalls all men.
• 2:38:53
  You will get to a point where vision and discipline will not
• 2:38:56
  be sufficient to take you to the finish line.
• 2:38:58
  You will need the mercy of God. There are times you will ride
• 2:39:02
  entirely on the wings of His mercy to the finish.
• 2:39:10
  Who empty without you? Who empty without?
• 2:39:19
  You preachers, we need. To return back to the place of
• 2:39:22
  humility, let me tell you this. I submit to you that over 60% of
• 2:39:29
  the problem of the Church, particularly among ministers, is
• 2:39:35
  not sin, is not unrighteousness, is pride.
• 2:39:39
  Competitiveness comes from pride.
• 2:39:43
  Not having the humility to listen and learn from one
• 2:39:46
  another. Pride believing that others are
• 2:39:50
  not doing well while others are is pride.
• 2:39:53
  And the quicker we humble ourselves and learn the ways of
• 2:39:57
  humility, the more we will corporately be able to birth and
• 2:40:01
  reveal the glory of God. And I thank God for what is
• 2:40:06
  already happening in the. Body for the maturity that is.
• 2:40:08
  Gradually, like a cloud coming to the body, where we are
• 2:40:12
  realizing gradually but consistently that no single man
• 2:40:17
  is able to host and birth the program of God alone, no matter
• 2:40:21
  how yielded #2 that there is no man who is indispensable.
• 2:40:26
  God can do without any man. He is God, He was God from the
• 2:40:31
  beginning. Hallelujah, humility.
• 2:40:39
  Let me speak to all the leaders in this ministry.
• 2:40:41
  Practice humility. Humility.
• 2:40:44
  As God is raising you, practice humility.
• 2:40:46
  All my dear people, Sam, David, K Strings, all of these great
• 2:40:52
  people, the worshippers, practice humility.
• 2:40:55
  I'm saying it to you on air. Let everybody here practice
• 2:40:58
  humility. Pastors practice humility, no
• 2:41:02
  matter how high you rise. Joshua Selman, practice
• 2:41:06
  humility. No, there are no giants of
• 2:41:09
  humility. If fathers of.
• 2:41:12
  Faith like Daddy Jio at their age, their pedigree and level of
• 2:41:16
  achievement, it will take many lifetimes for many people to.
• 2:41:21
  Come. Halfway through the level of
• 2:41:24
  exploits that God has produced in the life of this man, I've
• 2:41:27
  had the honor to know them a bit.
• 2:41:29
  I can tell you their humility is compelling.
• 2:41:32
  Their humility is a sermon more than their anointing.
• 2:41:36
  You will learn more from their humility than you will learn
• 2:41:38
  from their teachings and the grace of God upon their lives.
• 2:41:44
  And we who have made a little. Step out of The Cave.
• 2:41:47
  Pray for. Us pray for me.
• 2:41:50
  Pray for my contemporaries and my colleagues in ministry.
• 2:41:53
  Pray for all of us. It's not easy remaining proud,
• 2:41:56
  remaining humble when the stage light is on you.
• 2:42:00
  Thousands of messages daily flooding your phone.
• 2:42:03
  Apostle, you are the only man of God who is anointed.
• 2:42:06
  All other preachers are not serious except you.
• 2:42:08
  And sometimes we become foolish enough to believe it.
• 2:42:16
  The people who are sending that message are the same ones who
• 2:42:18
  say you are backsliding. It looks like a spirit just
• 2:42:21
  entered you. Something tells me you are you
• 2:42:24
  are you are weak man. Hallelujah.
• 2:42:37
  Those. Of you who have been given grace
• 2:42:38
  particularly for campus ministries.
• 2:42:41
  Please do that ministry effectively because two
• 2:42:45
  generations after us there is problem brewing, serious problem
• 2:42:50
  brewing. God must reach out to these
• 2:42:52
  young people. I'll trained people have become
• 2:42:56
  the mentors of these young people and they are teaching
• 2:42:58
  them nonsense, Nonsense. They are eating of the tree of
• 2:43:03
  both good and evil. Very young boys that are yet to
• 2:43:06
  even come out of The Cave. Their pride, the.
• 2:43:09
  Energy of their pride is too much.
• 2:43:12
  There is need to learn. It's because somebody taught
• 2:43:16
  them. It needs to be corrected.
• 2:43:21
  There is an agenda. I'm telling you.
• 2:43:24
  Body of Christ, if. You've ever cried for a prayer
• 2:43:26
  point for men of God? This is it.
• 2:43:29
  When you pray that God will keep us consecrated, the next prayer
• 2:43:33
  is that God will keep us humble. Ministry can make you become so
• 2:43:38
  high headed. Ministries like politics.
• 2:43:42
  You know how politicians get depressed after they lose
• 2:43:44
  election? That's what happens to pastors
• 2:43:46
  too. The same way you say, Your
• 2:43:48
  Excellency, my daddy, my Papa, Apostle Joshua, Salman, my
• 2:43:52
  daddy, the only one doing what God wants.
• 2:43:56
  Every other person is not serious with God except you.
• 2:43:59
  And we keep hearing those things.
• 2:44:01
  To God be the glory. What is entering is entering is
• 2:44:04
  entering. And one day Satan slips through
• 2:44:07
  it and we become full of ourselves, flattered by our
• 2:44:11
  deafness to the voice of God until we start sleeping out of
• 2:44:15
  God's program. And you know what happens by the
• 2:44:18
  time you fall, the people who sang your praises to that level
• 2:44:21
  will call the world and say, I said it.
• 2:44:23
  I just didn't share that part with him that he eventually
• 2:44:25
  fell. You will not fall.
• 2:44:29
  And those. Waiting for you to fall who?
• 2:44:31
  Waste their time forever. Decades after now, you are still
• 2:44:35
  standing. In the name of Jesus Christ,
• 2:44:40
  pray for yourself for one minute.
• 2:44:42
  Lord, keep me humble, and if you know that you found the root of
• 2:44:46
  pride growing up in you, please kill it now.
• 2:44:49
  Don't be ashamed for someone following online, maybe a
• 2:44:52
  preacher. For someone falling online,
• 2:44:55
  maybe a mother, maybe a young man who just made money, maybe
• 2:44:58
  someone who is an emerging voice in ministry, in business, in
• 2:45:02
  politics. Maybe you are doing well and
• 2:45:04
  honestly, you have your resource to show.
• 2:45:06
  Cry for grace to remain humble. God resisted the proud.
• 2:45:12
  He gives grace to the humble. My dear sister, pray.
• 2:45:15
  It is true that your destiny is that of Esther, but pray for
• 2:45:18
  humility so that you will not follow the way of Vashti.
• 2:45:22
  Lift your voice and pray. Lift your voice and pray.
• 2:45:26
  Lord, let pride not take away my Bishop Rick and give it to
• 2:45:30
  another that as you move through me as.
• 2:45:35
  You heal through me. As you professor your counsel
• 2:45:39
  through me, as you lift many through me, as you bless through
• 2:45:43
  me, as you empower through me, keep me humble.
• 2:45:47
  Keep me humble. Let men clap.
• 2:45:50
  I am grateful, but keep me humble.
• 2:45:53
  Let the results keep speaking. Let the world keep growing.
• 2:45:57
  Let the anointing keep growing. Let the influence keep growing.
• 2:46:01
  But let my humility to through keep growing.
• 2:46:09
  In Jesus name we pray price #5. The price of love, the 5th
• 2:46:17
  price. For doing mighty walks.
• 2:46:22
  And carrying tremendous dimensions of God's power is the
• 2:46:26
  price of love. Please don't be too quick to
• 2:46:30
  conclude there are 4 levels of love.
• 2:46:33
  If you miss any of them, you cannot carry this power.
• 2:46:37
  One, love for God. Two, love for the body of
• 2:46:43
  Christ. Three, love for souls #4 love
• 2:46:53
  for the assignment. Number one, love for God.
• 2:47:00
  You cannot carry the power of God.
• 2:47:02
  If you do not love God. #2 love for the body of Christ.
• 2:47:09
  You cannot hate the bride of Christ.
• 2:47:12
  Hate a man's wife? And one favor from the man the
• 2:47:16
  church is the body of Christ. Even if it's a wounded church,
• 2:47:20
  it is still the body of Christ. Even if it's a growing church,
• 2:47:24
  it is still the body of Christ. You cannot serve a body you
• 2:47:28
  hate. You cannot serve a body you,
• 2:47:31
  you, you, you revile. No, hatred is not an evangelism
• 2:47:36
  strategy. There is no evangelism strategy
• 2:47:39
  in the Bible. That is called hatred.
• 2:47:42
  It's always been love, love for God #2.
• 2:47:48
  Love for his? Bride, his body, that when you
• 2:47:52
  see the bride bleeding, you don't laugh at the wounds, you
• 2:47:56
  don't mock at the wounds, you don't join unbelieving people to
• 2:48:00
  scorn and mock at the body. No, you don't become like the
• 2:48:05
  Levite or the other man, the priest.
• 2:48:07
  You become like the Samaritan that comes to put a bandage
• 2:48:11
  around it to bring forth healing.
• 2:48:14
  Love for the body #3 love for souls, not to use them, but to
• 2:48:25
  save. Them I tell you the.
• 2:48:27
  Reason why TL Osborne, Billy Graham, Reinhard Bonke and many
• 2:48:36
  of these great fathers, I have listened to them.
• 2:48:39
  Their love for souls is palpable, even if you listen to
• 2:48:44
  their teachings. You listen to TL Osborne speak
• 2:48:46
  about India and Kenya. You listen to Reinhard Bonke
• 2:48:50
  speak about Africa. Africa must be saved.
• 2:48:54
  And he will sob almost to the point of tears.
• 2:48:57
  You listen to Billy Graham. He will go to cities, even
• 2:49:00
  cities that are purported to be, you know, full of Babylon, like
• 2:49:04
  Las Vegas and all of that. He would go there holding
• 2:49:08
  crusades, and sometimes he would open up.
• 2:49:11
  And you find all kinds of licentious people wanting
• 2:49:16
  conversations and mocking and doing all of that.
• 2:49:19
  And yet he will approach it with a lot of maturity.
• 2:49:21
  You know how many times they insulted him, how many times
• 2:49:25
  they said all kinds of things, antagonists.
• 2:49:30
  But he would. Just maintain his school and.
• 2:49:32
  Preach the gospel. No wonder he was powerful.
• 2:49:36
  No wonder his message was penetrating.
• 2:49:39
  It came from a standpoint of love, Body of Christ, preachers,
• 2:49:43
  believers, witnesses. Let me tell you, the more
• 2:49:45
  excellent way of this mission of Kingdom come is to work in love
• 2:49:51
  and to do it by love. There is a way you rebuke that
• 2:49:56
  people know is coming. From love, there is a way.
• 2:49:59
  You correct that people know is coming from love.
• 2:50:01
  There is a way you give that people know that it's not just
• 2:50:04
  showmanship, it is love. Are we together?
• 2:50:07
  There is a way you pray that people know you're not just
• 2:50:10
  showing it is from love. There is a way you evangelize
• 2:50:13
  that people know that you're not just fulfilling a church ritual.
• 2:50:16
  It is from your heart as we prepare.
• 2:50:22
  To take the glorious gospel across the nations of the earth
• 2:50:25
  in. Addition to what we're doing
• 2:50:26
  now. Most times when I pray, I cry
• 2:50:30
  that God will bring those people to be saved.
• 2:50:32
  And I mean it. I mean it from the depth of my
• 2:50:35
  heart when we went for. The School of Ministry in UK two
• 2:50:42
  months. Ago, I was very humbled when I
• 2:50:45
  think was a head of media. He went to get something in the
• 2:50:48
  mall, if I understand, and he saw a gentleman who was just
• 2:50:52
  sitting there, you know, these guys that sit just by, you know,
• 2:50:55
  the streets and he was listening to my message.
• 2:50:59
  I was very humbled. Humbled for two.
• 2:51:02
  Reasons one to be. Found worthy.
• 2:51:05
  I don't know how that man in that state got that message, but
• 2:51:09
  I'm humble because I can guarantee he will not be there
• 2:51:12
  for long. Oh yes, he will not be there for
• 2:51:15
  long. The message will prohibit him
• 2:51:17
  from remaining there. Something he will hear and the
• 2:51:21
  grace that will come from it will pick that man from the
• 2:51:23
  dunghill and set him in a place of nobility.
• 2:51:27
  It is true. Love, love for God.
• 2:51:35
  Love for the body of Christ. Love for souls.
• 2:51:40
  You know, it's amazing how much we hate the people God sent us
• 2:51:46
  to save. We hate them with such passion,
• 2:51:49
  and sometimes we hate them as a justification that we are
• 2:51:53
  righteous. No wonder our message does not
• 2:51:55
  reach them. I'm not talking about condoning
• 2:51:58
  sin and lawlessness and licentiousness, but we must be
• 2:52:02
  careful because the Bible says let him that thinketh his stand
• 2:52:06
  take heed lest he falls. Don't be the one God has.
• 2:52:12
  Saved and you get to your family and find people.
• 2:52:16
  Who are still struggling. They don't know God, and in a
• 2:52:18
  braggadocious, arrogant way, you make it look as if there's no
• 2:52:23
  hope for them. No God can pick on any man and
• 2:52:27
  lift them in record time and they can even be higher than you
• 2:52:30
  In the spirit love we need to pray for a.
• 2:52:36
  Baptism. And a restoration of love.
• 2:52:39
  Most people do not know that love is connected to power.
• 2:52:42
  If you drop love here and drop power here, 99% of Christians
• 2:52:47
  who carry power and leave love, but the ones who want to retain
• 2:52:51
  that power will pick love. And automatically they will find
• 2:52:54
  power too in their hands, that in choosing one, they chose
• 2:52:58
  both. You can carry love without
• 2:53:01
  power, without love, but you cannot carry love genuinely and
• 2:53:05
  not find power in it. Because the one who is all
• 2:53:08
  powerful is also all loving. God is love, not God is power.
• 2:53:13
  Power comes out of love. You want to see the power of God
• 2:53:17
  walk through your life, Walk in love.
• 2:53:20
  Love people, the people you save.
• 2:53:23
  Love people, love people genuinely.
• 2:53:28
  I'm telling you, at the risk of sounding proud, I will tell you
• 2:53:31
  one of the greatest gift of God in my life to me for people is
• 2:53:36
  love. It's not power, it's not
• 2:53:38
  knowledge, it's not wisdom, it's not anointing, it's love.
• 2:53:42
  There are many things today, spiritually speaking, that I
• 2:53:46
  found to my life not by not directly praying about it.
• 2:53:50
  It came because of his sincere declaration of love for God, for
• 2:53:55
  the body of Christ, for souls, and for the assignment only.
• 2:54:05
  A shoe will reign forever to His Kingdom.
• 2:54:12
  There will be no end. There are kings, there are
• 2:54:20
  kingdoms, there are mountains and there are throats.
• 2:54:27
  But only a shoe will reign forever to his Kingdom.
• 2:54:35
  There'll be no way. There are names, there are
• 2:54:42
  titles, there are legends and tales of strength, but only a
• 2:54:52
  shoe. Will reign forever.
• 2:55:02
  Hallelujah, listen to me. Let me tell you what love is.
• 2:55:07
  Because compassion is derived from love, the ability to be
• 2:55:10
  touched with the feelings of of the infirmity of God's people.
• 2:55:15
  The healing ministry must be borne out of mercy and love, not
• 2:55:20
  just power. You will never walk in the
• 2:55:22
  healing anointing if what you want is fame through weak bodies
• 2:55:26
  that become strong. You must desire to see people
• 2:55:31
  healthy and strong. Hallelujah tomorrow by the.
• 2:55:36
  Message of God will hopefully have the.
• 2:55:38
  Opportunity to breeze into just just to go and visit the
• 2:55:42
  government, visit the church and bring our gifts and palliatives
• 2:55:46
  and whatever. Just bless the church and bless
• 2:55:48
  the pastors and see the little we can do.
• 2:55:52
  Just to be able to encourage, to identify with the people in the
• 2:55:57
  place of pain, commiserate, encourage the government, share
• 2:56:01
  whatever ideas that can come at least that little.
• 2:56:05
  And it is not showmanship. I'm only saying it now because
• 2:56:09
  of some of this is a personal thing.
• 2:56:12
  Sometimes you just say these things just because you are
• 2:56:14
  mentoring people. Love for God so loved that he
• 2:56:20
  gave. Not for God wanted fame, not for
• 2:56:24
  God wanted sons. If wanting sons is the reason
• 2:56:27
  why he gave, then he was selfish.
• 2:56:29
  For God so loved that he gave. When you sow love, you will
• 2:56:34
  give. If you do not give, you love,
• 2:56:37
  but you do not sow love. There is an extent that love
• 2:56:41
  gets to. It must translate to giving.
• 2:56:44
  Giving wisdom, giving ideas. Evangelism was supposed to grow
• 2:56:49
  on the wings of love, not just a ritual to command people once.
• 2:56:54
  People do not love souls, no matter how you push them, they
• 2:56:58
  will not win souls. But when you see what Jesus has
• 2:57:02
  done and the fact that when people die without him they are
• 2:57:05
  going to hell, it will plant a fire in you.
• 2:57:10
  Only a shoe. Will reign.
• 2:57:14
  Forever to his Kingdom only a Shiva will reign forever.
• 2:57:34
  Write this down. What is the benefit of
• 2:57:39
  manifesting mighty works in a generation?
• 2:57:42
  What is the benefit? What is the blessing that comes
• 2:57:45
  with manifesting genuine Apostolic power?
• 2:57:49
  Mighty walks in a generation. Three of them #1 mighty walks,
• 2:57:54
  silences, arguments, and sarcasms.
• 2:57:59
  Acts chapter 4 from verse 10 to 14.
• 2:58:03
  In the presence of mighty walks, arguments are brought to a
• 2:58:09
  steal. Let it be known to you and to
• 2:58:11
  the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus, whom He
• 2:58:15
  crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by Him dot this
• 2:58:20
  man stand before you. Whole was the healing of the man
• 2:58:24
  that get beautiful, this stone which was set at not of you
• 2:58:27
  builders, which has become the head of the corner, verse 12.
• 2:58:32
  Neither is there salvation in any other.
• 2:58:35
  Peter is speaking now, for there is none other name under heaven
• 2:58:38
  given unto men, whereby we must be saved. 13.
• 2:58:41
  It says Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and
• 2:58:46
  perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they
• 2:58:50
  marveled, and they took knowledge of them that they had
• 2:58:53
  been with Jesus. 14 it says, and beholding the man which was
• 2:58:57
  healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
• 2:59:04
  Arguments against the crucified and the resurrected Christ will
• 2:59:07
  remain until mighty walks bring the arguments to end.
• 2:59:12
  For as long as the sick are not healed, for as long as oppressed
• 2:59:16
  are not delivered, For as long as our messages do not transform
• 2:59:20
  people. Turning Saul to Paul, Cephas to
• 2:59:23
  Peter, you see that for as long as our teachings do not disciple
• 2:59:28
  men raising builders, raising responsible people, for as long
• 2:59:33
  as the transforming power of the gospel is not seen around our
• 2:59:39
  community, our environments, arguments, sarcasms, naysayings
• 2:59:45
  and every kind of ill speaking against Jesus, against his
• 2:59:49
  vessels and against the church will continue.
• 2:59:52
  And sadly it seems to be growing.
• 2:59:55
  People are becoming more and more emboldened to talk against
• 2:59:59
  God, to talk against men of God, to talk against church, to talk
• 3:00:03
  against everything that is pro Kingdom.
• 3:00:07
  And it is not just because of character flaws or issues in the
• 3:00:11
  body of Christ. Some have made it a habit.
• 3:00:14
  It has become marketable, fashionable, alluring,
• 3:00:19
  attractive, likable to talk against God.
• 3:00:24
  You will have more likes when you sell conflict.
• 3:00:26
  You will have more likes when you talk against the Kingdom.
• 3:00:30
  And we are the ones who have allowed it so.
• 3:00:32
  And it will not stop until there is a manifestation of the
• 3:00:37
  demonstration of the power of God.
• 3:00:39
  Mighty walks. I remember the time when they
• 3:00:43
  spoke against Maria Woodward. Ether, he was told.
• 3:00:51
  That some people were mocking her for whatever reason.
• 3:00:54
  Because of the mighty walks that were wrote through her and they
• 3:00:57
  came with sarcasms and I'll speakings and she made just one
• 3:01:01
  statement. Not necessarily because of her
• 3:01:04
  reputation, but because. It was bringing reproach.
• 3:01:07
  To the name of the Christ and it needed to be silenced.
• 3:01:10
  She said the Lord judge you. That was all.
• 3:01:12
  She said. It was purported that one of the
• 3:01:15
  people who was mocking his tongue protruded and remained
• 3:01:19
  like that, like someone who had cancer for days.
• 3:01:23
  They tried every kind of medical help.
• 3:01:25
  It did not go down. And then they advised the people
• 3:01:27
  to get some people together with the mockers to come and beg.
• 3:01:33
  Maria Woodward Eater. And it was said when they came,
• 3:01:36
  they pleaded and she cautioned them against talking about the
• 3:01:39
  name of the Christ and took her finger and just slapped the
• 3:01:42
  tongue. It deflated right in their
• 3:01:44
  presence. It's no exaggeration.
• 3:01:48
  Now think about that. Don't you think somebody needs
• 3:01:51
  that in this our world? This is our world of talkatives
• 3:01:59
  and talkatives, people who are not doing.
• 3:02:01
  Anything and they run their mouth from 1 mountain to the
• 3:02:03
  other. One of these days I believe that
• 3:02:10
  one of these days God himself. He will look beyond our.
• 3:02:13
  Growth and decide to defend his name and while somebody is about
• 3:02:18
  to call Jesus Beelzebub, he will answer him himself, he said.
• 3:02:22
  I've come to defend my bride. Caution.
• 3:02:26
  My church may be bleeding, but she's still my bride.
• 3:02:28
  Don't insult my wife again. Sign Jesus, not of Nazareth, the
• 3:02:33
  glorified Christ. I can tell you that.
• 3:02:40
  We have become so carnally. Minded that most.
• 3:02:42
  Unbelievers will hear things like this and just.
• 3:02:44
  Laugh. They were laughing to scorn.
• 3:02:46
  It's not the first time they're laughing at things.
• 3:02:48
  Mockers and scorners. The Bible talks about them.
• 3:02:51
  But when God decides to rise up to speak for himself because
• 3:02:55
  he's not an idol, while praying that he does not get to that
• 3:02:58
  time. But the way things are going and
• 3:03:01
  the level of mockery and reproach that the name of Christ
• 3:03:05
  is incurring, especially in our generation.
• 3:03:07
  One of these days the God of vengeance, the God of jealousy
• 3:03:11
  will have to arise and stamp his feet from Nigeria to South
• 3:03:16
  Africa to Ghana to UK to America.
• 3:03:20
  He will make a loud statement. I'm still king and I'm Lord.
• 3:03:27
  Read about those who mock the program.
• 3:03:29
  Of God is it Nebuchadnezzar? Is it Herod who was eaten by
• 3:03:33
  worms? Read your Bible.
• 3:03:36
  He's not changed, He's only merciful.
• 3:03:38
  But the mercy of God continues, and rebellion can push a man.
• 3:03:42
  If people, a nation out of the jurisdiction of God's mercy, and
• 3:03:46
  what they will face is judgment. It's a terrible thing to fall
• 3:03:49
  into the hands of the Lord. Is someone learning mighty?
• 3:03:55
  Walks will. Silence, arguments and sarcasms,
• 3:04:00
  not just against the bearers of the name of Christ, but against
• 3:04:05
  Jesus Christ himself and the gospel #2 What is the value that
• 3:04:09
  benefits the prophet and the blessing connected to mighty
• 3:04:14
  walks? It validates the gospel and the
• 3:04:18
  messenger. It validates the message and it
• 3:04:21
  validates the witness the power of God.
• 3:04:26
  Mighty walks the supernatural, brings validation to the gospel.
• 3:04:31
  It brings validation to the messenger or the witnesses.
• 3:04:35
  Acts 433 with great power gave the apostles witness of the
• 3:04:41
  resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them
• 3:04:45
  all. So #1 mighty walks, greater
• 3:04:49
  walks, the supernatural signs and wonders, results, silence,
• 3:04:55
  arguments, sarcasms, I'll speakings #2 it validates the
• 3:05:01
  gospel and it validates the witnesses #3 it compels nations
• 3:05:08
  and the unbelieving world to come to Jesus and become
• 3:05:12
  obedience to the faith. Mighty walks will compel nations
• 3:05:19
  will compel the unbelieving world.
• 3:05:22
  To be convicted if. You want to add that and then to
• 3:05:25
  come to Jesus and become obedient to the faith.
• 3:05:29
  It compels nations. It compels the unbelieving
• 3:05:34
  world. John, 448.
• 3:05:37
  Except you see miraculous signs and wonders you will not believe
• 3:05:42
  John chapter. 20 verse 30 and 31.
• 3:05:55
  And many other signs, truly. Did Jesus?
• 3:05:59
  In the presence of the disciples, which are not written
• 3:06:03
  in this book, shout verse 31. If you are a Christian, one to
• 3:06:06
  go, but these are written that he might believe that Jesus is
• 3:06:12
  the Christ, the Son of God, and that in believing you might have
• 3:06:17
  life through his name. This is why the miracles were
• 3:06:20
  documented in the Bible, that you will believe.
• 3:06:23
  He said if you do not believe me for who I am and what I've said,
• 3:06:26
  believe me for the work's sake. Ladies and gentlemen, there is a
• 3:06:30
  generation that is bleeding in need of a Savior, in need of
• 3:06:35
  Jesus, in need of salvation. There are territories in need of
• 3:06:40
  transformation that comes through the ideology of the
• 3:06:44
  gospel or until we become witnesses, walkers, doers of
• 3:06:48
  mighty works, demonstrators, validators of the life of God,
• 3:06:54
  through the power that flows from us, not just through His
• 3:06:57
  wisdom, we will never be able to bring nations to the obedience
• 3:07:01
  of faith. I believe that in my lifetime,
• 3:07:03
  nations, not individuals, not communities, nations as a whole
• 3:07:09
  nation, they will be obedient to the faith.
• 3:07:12
  I believe that in my lifetime presidents will be born again
• 3:07:15
  openly on air. They will give their lives to
• 3:07:18
  Jesus and begin to bring forth policies, not fanatic policies,
• 3:07:22
  but pro Kingdom policies that become good to the church and to
• 3:07:27
  all and sundry. It will happen in our lifetime
• 3:07:29
  in the name of Jesus. But there is a level, there is a
• 3:07:32
  demonstration and this is the, the, the zenith of my teaching
• 3:07:36
  and even the summary of it. God is calling you and I to rise
• 3:07:41
  beyond the realm of Christianity, Christianity that
• 3:07:44
  is still below the threshold of arguments.
• 3:07:47
  You see that now and rise to a place where one, we understand
• 3:07:52
  the message, we understand doctrine, we understand the
• 3:07:55
  wisdom of God, we understand the ways of God, but that we access
• 3:08:00
  tremendous grace to back it up with results, back it up with
• 3:08:05
  power, back it up with proof, back it up with signs, back it
• 3:08:09
  up with healings, back it up with transformation, back it up
• 3:08:13
  with deliverances, back it up with territorial transformation
• 3:08:18
  so that the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms
• 3:08:22
  of our God and of his Christ. Rise up on your feet, hold hands
• 3:08:26
  with someone by your left and your right if you're able to.
• 3:08:29
  And let's pray in one minute to put a seal on discharge tonight.
• 3:08:35
  Lift your voice and pray. Only a Shuwa will reign forever
• 3:08:45
  to his Kingdom. There'll be no way.
• 3:08:51
  Only a Shuwa will reign forever to his Kingdom.
• 3:09:02
  The compelling power of mighty walks.
• 3:09:06
  Please lift your voice in one minute.
• 3:09:08
  Pray for yourself. Pray for Koinonia, pray for
• 3:09:11
  Nigeria, pray for Africa, pray for this generation.
• 3:09:16
  Lord, let there be a restoration of power.
• 3:09:19
  Let there be a restoration of mighty walks, mighty walks,
• 3:09:24
  mighty healings, mighty deliverances, great display of
• 3:09:30
  the wisdom of God. Great.
• 3:09:32
  Display of the power of God. Great display of value and
• 3:09:37
  capacity to best solutions. Great display of science and
• 3:09:43
  wonders. Not just by a.
• 3:09:45
  Few, but by many. Many, not just by your
• 3:09:50
  denomination, but by the body in mass, not just by Nigerians, not
• 3:09:56
  just by Africans. Let this wave of restoration of
• 3:10:01
  Apostolic and prophetic power, the grace to do mighty works for
• 3:10:06
  the Kingdom, from Nigeria to Ghana to South Africa to Senegal
• 3:10:12
  to Kenya to Rwanda to Uganda. Let it.
• 3:10:16
  Let it penetrate across Africa, West Africa, Southern Africa,
• 3:10:21
  Eastern Africa. Let it go to Europe, all across
• 3:10:25
  Europe. Let it go to Asia, all across
• 3:10:28
  Asia. Let it go everywhere.
• 3:10:32
  The Middle East, The troubled middle.
• 3:10:35
  East, let it be. There's an opportunity right
• 3:10:37
  now, a catalyst for revival. Only a shoe will reign forever.
• 3:10:47
  To his Kingdom. There'll be no end.
• 3:10:53
  Only a shoe will reign forever. Prayer point #2 Father, I obtain
• 3:11:09
  the grace. From You to pay the price that
• 3:11:14
  empowers me to host Your glory, to host Your power, and to be a
• 3:11:18
  commander of mighty works. Lift Your voice and pray
• 3:11:21
  sincerely for yourself. The grace to pray the price in
• 3:11:26
  prayer. The grace to pray, The price to
• 3:11:31
  build intimacy with the Holy Ghost.
• 3:11:35
  The grace to pay the price to be.
• 3:11:37
  Fully and totally. Devoted to Kingdom come, the
• 3:11:42
  grace to contend for high level revelation of God, of Jesus, of
• 3:11:48
  his ways. Someone is praying the grace to
• 3:11:53
  manifest. Violent faith.
• 3:11:56
  The faith of the Son of God. A depth of conviction and
• 3:12:00
  persuasion. Engage in your conviction with
• 3:12:04
  obedience so that it commits God to deliver.
• 3:12:09
  Pray the grace to work in humility.
• 3:12:13
  To remain in humility regardless the liftings.
• 3:12:18
  The grace to work in love. Love for God.
• 3:12:22
  Love for the body of Christ, love for the world of sinners,
• 3:12:26
  and love for Kingdom come. Shabba Lakata Pranjagada Lord,
• 3:12:34
  as you are moving, let it not be without me.
• 3:12:37
  As you are healing, let it not be without me.
• 3:12:40
  As you are raising men, let it not be without me.
• 3:12:43
  As you are transforming nations, let it not be without me.
• 3:12:46
  As you are empowering men, let it not be without me.
• 3:12:55
  In Jesus name we pray. Go back tonight and listen to
• 3:13:00
  this teaching. Give it to every man of God you
• 3:13:04
  know who has the humility to listen.
• 3:13:06
  Give it to everyone who aspires to do much for the Kingdom.
• 3:13:10
  Give it to a hungry heart, any heart that is dissatisfied with
• 3:13:14
  your current level, spiritually and otherwise.
• 3:13:17
  Look for someone who thirsts after God, righteousness and
• 3:13:21
  everything Kingdom and give it to them as a gift.
• 3:13:24
  Pray with it, fast with it, cry unto God, hold on to the horns
• 3:13:29
  of the altar listening to this, unless something from heaven
• 3:13:32
  rest upon you that becomes an investment and a gift to your
• 3:13:36
  generation. My prayer for you in the name of
• 3:13:39
  Jesus is that what you have heard tonight will not stand
• 3:13:41
  against you, that when God is counting on men.
• 3:13:46
  He will find you faithful. That when history documents the
• 3:13:50
  archives of miracle workers, those who represented the
• 3:13:54
  Kingdom of God in a way that is enviable, may your name be
• 3:13:59
  enlisted in whatever dimension God would choose to use you.
• 3:14:03
  Let it be that you were a Walker of mighty walks.
• 3:14:07
  In Jesus name, we pray while still standing, let me make the
• 3:14:12
  altar call. After listening to such a
• 3:14:15
  message tonight, it's important to respond.
• 3:14:18
  And there's no point flattering you.
• 3:14:19
  You are here. You need Jesus, you need life,
• 3:14:23
  you need salvation, you need a new beginning.
• 3:14:26
  You need to start again on hearing me speak.
• 3:14:29
  From the start of my discourse up until the end, the Holy Ghost
• 3:14:33
  kept convicting you. This is you the man of God is
• 3:14:35
  talking about. I desire to do much with you.
• 3:14:38
  Perhaps you're saying, apostle, you don't know my past.
• 3:14:41
  You don't know the things I've done or not done.
• 3:14:43
  You don't know the ways I've disappointed God.
• 3:14:45
  Can he take me back? Absolutely.
• 3:14:48
  You may be here saying apostle, I just need restoration.
• 3:14:51
  I consider myself to be a good person, but right now, as it
• 3:14:54
  stands, I cannot say I have a functional relationship with the
• 3:14:57
  Lord Jesus Christ. I need help, I need mercy, I
• 3:15:00
  need grace. Whether you are here in the
• 3:15:03
  congregation of the balcony or across any of our expressions
• 3:15:07
  online, or you are in any of the overflows, the basement outside,
• 3:15:12
  I'm going to count one to five. I like you to leave your seat
• 3:15:15
  sincerely. This is a business of sincerity
• 3:15:18
  tonight. And come stand before me as I
• 3:15:20
  count 1 to 5, sincerely from your heart, ready to receive
• 3:15:24
  life and salvation. I begin my counting now.
• 3:15:27
  One. God bless you as you come.
• 3:15:29
  I see you as you come. I see you as you come.
• 3:15:32
  Thank you, my dear sister. Thank you, my dear brother.
• 3:15:35
  Thank you. Thank you, Thank you.
• 3:15:37
  God bless you. Can you celebrate them as they
• 3:15:39
  come? Koinonia.
• 3:15:41
  Is this the best you can do? Come, come, come.
• 3:15:46
  God bless you, Sir. God bless you, ma'am.
• 3:15:49
  Come. He can give you a new beginning.
• 3:15:54
  This is also to someone watching from.
• 3:15:56
  Across the nations of the Earth, we're not just.
• 3:15:58
  Clapping for these ones. We're clapping for you too,
• 3:16:01
  across the overflows outside, wherever you are, make your way
• 3:16:07
  to the LED screen you see before you.
• 3:16:09
  If you're unable to come in here.
• 3:16:11
  And for those of you who are watching from our viewing
• 3:16:13
  centers, from all our expressions across the globe,
• 3:16:17
  here's your chance to make Jesus Lord.
• 3:16:19
  It pays to know Jesus. It pays to love Jesus.
• 3:16:23
  It pays to serve Him. He can give you a new beginning.
• 3:16:28
  You can start afresh again, provided you are life.
• 3:16:31
  It is never too late. His loving arms are reaching
• 3:16:34
  unto you to give you a new start tonight 41.
• 3:16:41
  Final count and we're. Ready to pray.
• 3:16:43
  Who is still coming? Who is courageous enough to join
• 3:16:47
  them? Who is still coming, Convicted
• 3:16:49
  by the Holy Spirit, Ready to win the war of destiny once and for
• 3:16:54
  all. God bless you, God bless you,
• 3:16:57
  God bless you. Thank you for coming.
• 3:17:00
  God bless you. Hallelujah.
• 3:17:08
  I want to say very big. Thank you to you my dear.
• 3:17:10
  Brothers and sisters takes a lot of.
• 3:17:12
  Courage to leave the crowd and come and stand here.
• 3:17:16
  But you see, standing here is as though you have been called to
• 3:17:19
  receive an award, only that this award is greater than anyone
