Choose Life (Deut 30:19) by Apostle Joshua Selman · Selah Media House

• 0:00
  Let's lift our hands to Jesus and give him all the praise.
• 0:07
  All the praise? Would you lift your hands to the
• 0:09
  King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, Rose of Sharon, the Lion
• 0:16
  of the tribe of Judah? Give him all the praise.
• 0:21
  Bless him for tonight, because your life will never be the
• 0:24
  same. The Bible declares they go from
• 0:27
  strength to strength. As many as appear before the
• 0:31
  Lord in Zion. Someone is saying Thank you
• 0:35
  Jesus, for your mighty hand in our midst.
• 0:45
  Thank you Jesus for signs and wonders.
• 0:50
  Thank you Jesus for healings and deliverances.
• 0:56
  Thank you Jesus for confirming your word.
• 1:01
  Thank you Jesus, Ask him to give you an encounter tonight by the
• 1:09
  Spirit. We obtain grace, we obtain
• 1:13
  grace, we obtain grace. We obtain grace in the name of
• 1:17
  Jesus. We obtain grace by the power of
• 1:21
  the Holy Spirit. Chabrante ke palako sabratige
• 1:33
  Bella tosiata Someone is praying.
• 1:36
  Give me an encounter that will turn my life around in the name
• 1:41
  of Jesus. Give me a testimony that becomes
• 1:46
  a stamp of your presence, a stamp of your favor, a stamp of
• 1:51
  your goodness upon my life. For in Jesus much less name, we
• 2:00
  have prayed. Father, we thank you for
• 2:04
  tonight. The psalmist said.
• 2:07
  I was glad when they said unto me, let us go to the House of
• 2:11
  the Lord. Thank you because this is a
• 2:13
  place of understanding. This is a place of power.
• 2:17
  This is a place of revelation. This is a place where you
• 2:21
  confirm your words with signs following.
• 2:24
  This is a place where you turn the destinies of men around,
• 2:28
  where Saul becomes Paul, where Cephas becomes Peter, where
• 2:33
  Abraham becomes Abraham. We submit to your wisdom tonight
• 2:38
  and we pray that you will do us good.
• 2:41
  And to Jesus be all the praise, for in Jesus matchless name we
• 2:45
  have prayed. All right, God bless you.
• 2:48
  Please give Jesus a big hand clap and then be seated.
• 2:53
  Welcome to church in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 3:00
  Hallelujah. Just a few quick functions and
• 3:04
  then we get straight to the ministry of the Word.
• 3:08
  First, to announce to us that by the grace of God, next week, the
• 3:13
  17th will be our final service for 2023.
• 3:21
  Are you kidding me? This is how you celebrate the
• 3:22
  faithfulness of God. Come on, Hallelujah.
• 3:30
  It's going to be a time of praise.
• 3:32
  It's going to be a time to celebrate.
• 3:35
  It's going to be a time of Thanksgiving.
• 3:37
  And then we'll speak over our lives. 15 to Bizarrea and then
• 3:42
  17 will wrap up in Abuja here. That leads me to the next
• 3:47
  announcement from Wednesday down to Friday will be in Zaria is
• 3:53
  going to be 3 days of phenomenal encounters in the spirit.
• 4:00
  Are you giving Jesus a big hand clap?
• 4:03
  Wednesday will be the workers appreciation dinner.
• 4:05
  Thursday morning will be the welfare and the medical outreach
• 4:11
  and then Thursday evening will be the concert is called a night
• 4:17
  of worship. You'll be an incredible time of
• 4:21
  worship, just pouring our hearts before the Lord.
• 4:24
  And then Friday will be the final service in Zarya.
• 4:28
  Then we return to wrap up here. I think someone should thank God
• 4:31
  already for his faithfulness. Hallelujah.
• 4:38
  Second announcement which is very important is we have a
• 4:42
  custom in this ministry after the last service or at the last
• 4:47
  service, as a global family we come with an end of year
• 4:52
  sacrifice. This we have practiced for many
• 4:54
  years. This is number 1, to acknowledge
• 4:58
  the faithfulness of God #2 as a Thanksgiving offering #3
• 5:03
  connecting by faith to what God is going to be doing, the year
• 5:08
  that will be coming. So please, I'd like you to
• 5:10
  prepare with understanding, prepare intelligently as you
• 5:15
  come next week. And this is also to our global
• 5:17
  family. Come with your end of year
• 5:19
  sacrifice, and we're going to be speaking over it, and then we'll
• 5:23
  be sowing it to the glory of the name of the Lord.
• 5:26
  You can inform all your friends and loved ones who are ministry
• 5:31
  that believes in giving with understanding and make sure you
• 5:35
  do not miss out of this end of year sacrifice.
• 5:39
  Hallelujah. Now I'm truly, truly very
• 5:50
  honored. Tonight we have in our midst not
• 5:55
  just our royal fathers from my hometown, but the entire
• 6:00
  traditional council. They came all the way from
• 6:07
  Langtang, North and South, led by His Royal Highness the
• 6:13
  Ponzizini himself, the acting president of the Joint
• 6:18
  Traditional Council. Come on.
• 6:19
  These are my people. Would you give them a big, big,
• 6:23
  big honor? This is a House of honor.
• 6:27
  Hallelujah. Amen.
• 6:33
  Now, the interesting thing is this.
• 6:36
  The entire royal fathers, they literally represent the entire
• 6:42
  traditional council where I come from.
• 6:45
  And I was very honored, truly very honored.
• 6:49
  I don't know if they have done this to anybody.
• 6:51
  I know any son of the soil that the entire traditional council
• 6:57
  would come right from my village.
• 7:01
  And here, every single one of them, all the chiefdoms here
• 7:05
  represented. Hallelujah.
• 7:17
  Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me.
• 7:19
  You see, it is one thing for an individual to love the Lord, but
• 7:24
  when your territory, represented by the royal fathers, decide to
• 7:29
  come and honor Jesus themselves, that is already a miracle for
• 7:33
  that territory. Hallelujah, praise the name of
• 7:42
  the Lord. And we had a very wonderful
• 7:46
  session with them discussing about the land and, you know,
• 7:51
  just appraising what God has been doing so far and coming up
• 7:55
  with very positive recommendations as to be able to
• 8:02
  move this territory. You cannot write the story of
• 8:06
  Christianity in Nigeria and the Middle Belt without talking
• 8:10
  about the love and labor. My people are typically
• 8:14
  warriors. I come from a lineage of
• 8:16
  warriors. But then in as much as that is
• 8:20
  true, they embrace the gospel and it is by it that it was able
• 8:25
  to spread around. Hallelujah.
• 8:27
  And so I believe that what is happening in this place tonight
• 8:32
  is prophetic, not only for my people, but it's going to become
• 8:36
  a model. We have sunk endlessly here that
• 8:40
  there are kings and there are kingdoms, there are mountains
• 8:43
  and there are Thrones. But that in our life and by the
• 8:47
  light that is helping us to shine, that only Yeshua,
• 8:52
  Hallelujah. So what you are witnessing
• 8:54
  tonight is not just my father's, my royal father's coming
• 8:59
  together, but it is a prophetic sign to Nigeria, to Africa that
• 9:04
  it is time that the kingdoms of this world, that they become
• 9:08
  inexperienced, the kingdoms of our God and of his Christ.
• 9:15
  Hallelujah. At earlier at the meeting we had
• 9:19
  earlier on, I was discussing with them and we mentioned the
• 9:23
  fact that I've traveled a bit around the world and even within
• 9:28
  this nation. And I remember a place that I,
• 9:31
  I, I visited and they showed me the pulpit of the missionaries,
• 9:36
  people like Samuel Ajayi Crowder, Joseph Johnson, this
• 9:40
  were people who loved the Lord. And I remember in that story,
• 9:44
  the person who was giving us the narration told us that that land
• 9:48
  changed when the king officially embraced Jesus.
• 9:52
  There is something about citizens independently embracing
• 9:56
  Jesus. But when kings that represent
• 9:59
  the gatekeepers of territory say, As for me and my Kingdom,
• 10:04
  we will serve the Lord. That's what happened in Daniel
• 10:06
  chapter 3. Nebuchadnezzar made a decree
• 10:10
  that no one would defy the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and
• 10:14
  Abednego. Hallelujah.
• 10:16
  And so please, I want you to allow me.
• 10:20
  I am going to invite His Royal Highness Nim nan Lang Nim the
• 10:25
  Ponzizini, acting on behalf of the entire traditional Council
• 10:31
  to just come and bring us a word of greetings.
• 10:34
  Please honor our royal father. I'm.
• 10:47
  Grateful, Kanania, can we make some good noise for the Lord?
• 11:01
  I wouldn't want to take so much of your time, but I give God the
• 11:06
  glory, the honor. I want to appreciate my
• 11:11
  spiritual Father. I also want to appreciate the
• 11:34
  entirety of Lantern Joint Traditional Council.
• 11:44
  We are here to honor our own. We are here to bless Jesus and
• 11:59
  we are here. Representing all the kingdoms in
• 12:07
  Tarok land to surrender the entirety of our land to Jesus.
• 12:21
  Thank you and May God bless all of us.
• 12:31
  Thank you. Let's give Jesus a big hand
• 12:33
  clap. Hallelujah.
• 12:47
  Now let me tell you something very humbling.
• 12:50
  One of the major reasons why they came was that they made-up
• 12:54
  their minds as the kings and as the entire territory that they
• 13:00
  traveled all the way to come and hand over the entire tariff
• 13:04
  nation to Jesus. I do not know.
• 13:08
  Listen, I have seen awakenings, I have seen moves, but this is
• 13:16
  the first time in my life I know that kings together representing
• 13:21
  an entire nation and are coming to say we are kings.
• 13:25
  There's none of them who is missing.
• 13:27
  All of them are complete. The entire chief bombs, I'm not
• 13:33
  aware of any Hallelujah. It is one thing to be a blessing
• 13:41
  to people around the world, but when God visits your own land,
• 13:45
  it is a great blessing. Hallelujah.
• 13:51
  It's been our prayer, it's been our cry that God will restore
• 13:56
  something that my people lost years ago.
• 14:01
  Hallelujah. Historically, not to bore you,
• 14:05
  but just just give me this on off for a few minutes.
• 14:09
  There are people who have the mantle of warriors.
• 14:13
  They live on mountains. They are people who are warriors
• 14:17
  in the spirit. I'm sure that you can see it in
• 14:22
  the regalia of His Royal Highness Himself is an emblem of
• 14:27
  not just royalty, but strength. You see that and you see it
• 14:32
  reflected even in the Nigerian Army and several other things is
• 14:36
  a grace that God gave the people and they embrace the gospel.
• 14:42
  But along the line, some of our forefathers, for whatever
• 14:46
  reason, we still honor them. But they went into the worship
• 14:50
  of the dead, the worship of masquerades, the worship of all
• 14:55
  kinds of things being beguiled by strange spirits.
• 15:00
  But then we thank God because God will always leave himself a
• 15:04
  witness. Hallelujah and this is just an
• 15:09
  example to show you that your prayers are being heard by God,
• 15:15
  that every time we pray over the nations, over the the kingdoms
• 15:20
  and we sing his praises. This is not just mere religion,
• 15:24
  this is truly Apostolic Christianity when territories
• 15:29
  come to the knowledge of Jesus. Hallelujah.
• 15:33
  I was almost in tears as we had the discussion and I wanted to
• 15:38
  tell you that there is none of these, my royal father standing
• 15:43
  here, there is none of them who will not say Amen, bowing their
• 15:48
  heads in prayer when you mention the name of Jesus.
• 15:51
  I have not seen that happen. I know you can have a council
• 15:55
  where one or two people love the Lord and then others are just
• 15:57
  doing their thing, but that they have made-up their minds that As
• 16:02
  for the Tariq Nation, and I'm saying this to the Globe, but
• 16:07
  also to my people in the name of Jesus, in our lifetime, we will
• 16:12
  see the Lord restore the glory of Zion.
• 16:17
  Hallelujah. Now they made a very humbling
• 16:21
  request and I want to honor that request before we continue.
• 16:25
  I am going to respectfully ask the entire royal council to
• 16:31
  please come up on stage and just be here.
• 16:33
  And they have requested that the entire Koinonia Global family
• 16:38
  should pray for them. Hallelujah.
• 16:42
  So please, let's give them a big honor.
• 16:44
  Everyone of them give them a big honor.
• 16:52
  I don't. I Lamb of God, you are worthy.
• 17:00
  Worthy of my praise. King of Kings, Lord of Lords,
• 17:11
  let your Kingdom reign in my life.
• 17:16
  I deny. I deny flags of Kingdom come
• 17:33
  Flags of Kingdom come, Hallelujah.
• 17:41
  So ladies and gentlemen, I'm honored to be standing close to
• 17:48
  this great man who represent literally, without exaggeration,
• 17:54
  the entire traditional council of the Tariq Nation.
• 17:59
  And they have requested that we pray as a global family.
• 18:05
  They are our fathers in the flesh.
• 18:09
  But by the privilege of God's grace, they have discerned that
• 18:13
  which God has placed upon us. And I'll ask them to stand.
• 18:17
  Please do not niece us. Your standing is fine.
• 18:20
  It's enough. Hallelujah, but from the depths
• 18:23
  of your heart, by the privilege of priesthood, may I request
• 18:27
  Koinonia Global. I know there are people
• 18:29
  following from the United States, Europe, Africa, pastors
• 18:35
  connecting from across. Please pray for my land, pray
• 18:39
  for the nation, pray for my father's.
• 18:42
  In one minute, Lord, we establish righteousness, we
• 18:48
  decree and declare. Let revival come upon the Tarock
• 18:52
  nation. Let our sons and daughters call
• 18:56
  upon the name of he that died and rose again.
• 19:00
  Someone is praying. Use the Royal fathers as a point
• 19:05
  of contact. Let there be economic revival,
• 19:10
  educational revival, healthcare revival.
• 19:15
  In the name of Jesus, we hand over this nation to Jesus, the
• 19:21
  entire Tarok nation. In the name of Jesus, you belong
• 19:27
  to Jesus, the Son of the living God.
• 19:33
  Go ahead and pray in one minute, Father, like you did in Fiji
• 19:39
  Island, like you did in Europe, like you did in America, like
• 19:47
  you did in the history of Nigeria.
• 19:50
  Visit our land again, visit our people again, visit our children
• 19:56
  again, visit our sons and daughters again, visit our
• 20:01
  fathers again. And it shall come to pass that I
• 20:06
  will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, your sons, your
• 20:10
  daughters, old and young, in the name of Jesus, in the name of
• 20:21
  Jesus. One more prayer.
• 20:25
  Political power will come and go, but royalties remain until
• 20:30
  death. Hallelujah.
• 20:33
  The government we had 20 years ago is not the government we had
• 20:36
  10 years ago. In fact, the government we
• 20:39
  started this year with is not the government that is currently
• 20:42
  in power. At best you have 8 years as a
• 20:46
  president or a governor and then you come and go.
• 20:49
  But the royal fathers remain. That means for any impacts to
• 20:54
  last beyond the political power, the fathers must receive that
• 20:58
  agenda. Are we together?
• 21:01
  We're going to use our fathers in one minute not to keep them
• 21:04
  waiting as a point of contact. You will now pray for your land,
• 21:08
  Lord. If you have done it in the Turok
• 21:09
  Nation, reproduce it in my land. Go ahead and pray while using
• 21:15
  the Turok Nation and this revival that is beginning.
• 21:19
  Go ahead, the north, the East, South and WSS southwest.
• 21:26
  Pray for every clan, every tribe, using the model of this
• 21:30
  that has happened tonight, we decree and declare by the power
• 21:38
  of the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus Christ.
• 21:56
  In the name of Jesus Christ. So I will pray now.
• 22:01
  We'll pray in that capacity. By the spirit of grace.
• 22:05
  Father, it is an honor to lift up the beautiful Tarock nation
• 22:12
  that you have so honored and lifted.
• 22:14
  It is out of that nation that we have come and You have granted
• 22:18
  us the grace to make our contribution as far as blessing
• 22:23
  the earth is concerned, that every sound that men hear from
• 22:27
  us has come from this ancestry. And Lord, we honor our fathers
• 22:32
  and we honor this nation for the foundation and for all that you
• 22:38
  established. Lord, our fathers in their
• 22:42
  entirety have come demanding that the entire Tarok nation be
• 22:48
  handed over to Jesus. So, Father, I stand by this
• 22:54
  Apostolic and prophetic mantle in the name of Jesus standing as
• 22:59
  your servant, I decree and declare in the presence of our
• 23:04
  fathers. We speak to gates, we speak to
• 23:09
  territories over the Tarok nation.
• 23:13
  Hear the word of the Lord. The kings and the priests have
• 23:17
  agreed that Jesus and his power and his reign alone will be seen
• 23:24
  there. As far as dominion is concerned,
• 23:30
  it is the business of the king and the priest.
• 23:34
  And prophetically we stand here that the king and the priest are
• 23:38
  in agreement. We say, Maranatha, let revival
• 23:44
  come. Let our sons and daughters
• 23:48
  arise. Let many Joshua Selman's arise.
• 23:54
  Let greater than Joshua Selman's arise in education, in politics,
• 24:01
  in military, in ministry, in the name of Jesus.
• 24:07
  By this declaration we declare that the spirit of untimely
• 24:12
  death comes to end over our land, the spirit of poverty
• 24:18
  comes to end over our land. Every covenant that has come
• 24:24
  with the worship of the dead, the worship of all kinds of
• 24:28
  negative ancestral powers, I stand by the privilege of
• 24:32
  priesthood. We rattle that spirit to its
• 24:35
  foundation. We declare liberty to our sons
• 24:40
  and daughters in the name of Jesus Father.
• 24:47
  We declare over the Tarok nation.
• 24:50
  Jesus and him alone is Lord across the entire chiefdoms,
• 24:57
  across the length and the breadth of this region and this
• 25:02
  nation. Let Jesus alone be exalted.
• 25:08
  Lord, we pray that everything that has held us down as a
• 25:12
  people, finally the exodus comes, our exodus into Canaan.
• 25:19
  In the name of Jesus, therefore, in the presence of the fathers
• 25:24
  of the land, and in the name of he who died and rose again, I
• 25:28
  stand by this Apostolic and this prophetic mandate, and we
• 25:32
  declare this land dedicated unto Jesus in the name of the Father,
• 25:39
  in the name of the Son, and in the name of the Holy Spirit.
• 25:46
  Give Jesus a big hand clap. Thank you, Sir, Thank you, thank
• 25:50
  you. Let's honor them as they return
• 25:52
  back to their seats. Come on, Koinonia, give them a
• 25:54
  big, big God bless you. Please usher them.
• 26:02
  Are you still clapping? God is weak.
• 26:38
  Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 26:47
  Some of these fathers, you see, are very old people.
• 26:51
  May I what? What's the oldest?
• 26:54
  The oldest age there. Please remind me. 92,
• 27:07
  Hallelujah. Thank you again, Your Royal
• 27:10
  Highness. May God bless you.
• 27:12
  Please, let's be seated now. Welcome to Koinonia.
• 27:18
  Hallelujah. But let me add a word or two.
• 27:24
  We had very extensive times discussing with our royal
• 27:29
  fathers and honestly was a burden to me because among the
• 27:34
  many things that we discussed, we zoomed down on 2 very
• 27:39
  important things that I believe is in desperate need.
• 27:45
  And I'm talking to everyone, but I'm also talking to my people #1
• 27:50
  the fathers agreed that there needs to be a miracle in the
• 27:55
  healthcare system of the people within there.
• 27:58
  And I think it's not just peculiar to them.
• 28:00
  I think most religions have a serious problem as far as
• 28:05
  Healthcare is concerned. I was so burdened.
• 28:08
  And then #2 the issue of education, I've been burdened.
• 28:13
  There's no tertiary institution, not one in my entire region.
• 28:19
  And yet professors have come out of there, very intelligent,
• 28:24
  noble people. It became a very serious burden
• 28:26
  for me. And of course, we have done our
• 28:30
  bid and we continue to do our bid in terms of education.
• 28:37
  It's an honor that God has given to be able to to make
• 28:42
  contributions to help the sons and daughters of the soil, to be
• 28:47
  able to have the educational experience.
• 28:51
  This we have done faithfully and also committed ourselves to
• 28:56
  build boreholes across, you know, the territories we have
• 29:00
  started. The goal, the next phase now is
• 29:03
  to take it from its current number to have 50 boreholes
• 29:07
  stationed across the entire length and breadth of the
• 29:13
  regions. Now, because it is a mountainous
• 29:16
  region, there are other areas where no matter how deep you
• 29:20
  sink, you will not find water. And you know, it's, it's very
• 29:24
  important. But I was really burdened when
• 29:27
  he spoke about education because a territory cannot be developed
• 29:32
  until institutions are planted there.
• 29:35
  When there is a university or there is a Polytechnic, with it
• 29:39
  will come commercial activities, from housing to transportation,
• 29:44
  feeding stationeries and all of that.
• 29:47
  This is how development happens within a territory.
• 29:50
  And then healthcare, when healthcare, when something is
• 29:53
  wrong with healthcare, every other thing goes down.
• 29:57
  Hallelujah. And so we'll continue to make
• 29:59
  our contributions. I know and I believe and I'm
• 30:02
  speaking to the globe, perhaps the international community and
• 30:05
  you're hearing me and there are agencies that are passionate
• 30:10
  about making active Kingdom investments and contribution.
• 30:14
  Let me recommend a place for you.
• 30:15
  You may want to consider coming to do a university or coming to
• 30:20
  do a Polytechnic in my region. And I think it will be a great
• 30:23
  blessing to the people. But healthcare, I'm hoping that
• 30:28
  God will grant us grace is it's not a promise, but it's really a
• 30:32
  burden as a result of the discussion.
• 30:34
  I'm hoping that God will grant us grace if possible to be able
• 30:37
  to build a hospital, you know, and yes, so that it can help to
• 30:45
  improve. But for now, we, we will have to
• 30:48
  do something. It's my commitment and I
• 30:50
  discussed with them already that we'll try, even if it's to put a
• 30:54
  week long and bring in doctors, you know, and then have them
• 30:58
  treat some of the people. Just send whatever it is, it is
• 31:03
  better than nothing. We cannot wait until the day
• 31:05
  that a hospital is there for the boreholes will keep building and
• 31:10
  for the children. We'll continue.
• 31:12
  We're only stepping up the scholarships that we have been
• 31:15
  given so that it can now help the people to tertiary
• 31:18
  institutions and then help them completely until they are done
• 31:23
  with their program. And we have done this and will
• 31:27
  continue to be faithful. So I'm really speaking to people
• 31:31
  not just here but across the globe that you are burdened and
• 31:35
  you want to make active contributions in the area of
• 31:38
  education, the area of healthcare.
• 31:40
  Why not? You can prayerfully consider and
• 31:44
  you can be guided on what to do. But I'm praying for everyone
• 31:49
  here that a day will come your people will recognize your
• 31:52
  contribution, and they will come to acknowledge God publicly in
• 31:57
  your life. This is what impact is all
• 32:00
  about. It's not just about having a
• 32:02
  name for the sake of a name. It's not about building an
• 32:06
  empire, but that we're able to live our lives effectively
• 32:10
  making a mark. We're not called to do
• 32:12
  everything, but you see, global transformation starts one person
• 32:19
  at a time for everyone life you impact, you have reduced the
• 32:23
  number of people who are left. One person, one person, one
• 32:30
  person. This may be a message for
• 32:31
  someone. Everyone wants someone to do
• 32:38
  something for them, but the world is looking for people who
• 32:42
  will be selfless enough to be able to make their contribution.
• 32:47
  That at the end of our lives it will not just be the cars,
• 32:51
  houses, estates, travels, but it will be that you were able to
• 32:57
  make a significant contribution. This is the purpose of
• 33:01
  prosperity. This is the purpose of
• 33:04
  influence. This is the purpose of access.
• 33:07
  This is the purpose of lifting. Dr. Miles of blessed memory will
• 33:11
  say when the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is
• 33:17
  inevitable. Hallelujah.
• 33:21
  So thank you again for helping to honor the Traditional
• 33:25
  Council. And once again we truly honor
• 33:29
  them and we pray that the Lord himself will bless them for this
• 33:34
  bold decision that they have made and reward them in Jesus
• 33:39
  name. Are you ready for tonight?
• 33:43
  Tonight, the teaching would challenge us.
• 33:47
  It's a contemplation and many of us are going to find greater
• 33:54
  meaning to our lives as a result of this teaching.
• 33:57
  Many of us will find direction for our lives and destinies
• 34:00
  according to this teaching. Many of us will find reasons why
• 34:05
  perhaps we may have been stagnated in life and destiny as
• 34:09
  a result of this teaching. I trust that what you're about
• 34:12
  to hear will truly challenge you for others, remind you for
• 34:17
  someone, shake you, and give you a reason to be able to face life
• 34:22
  with determination and to live your life in such a way that at
• 34:26
  the end of your life it will be said that you lived well and you
• 34:31
  lived a meaningful life. Hallelujah.
• 34:34
  I'm teaching on the topic that I titled Choose Life.
• 34:41
  Choose Life, choose life, choose life.
• 34:48
  Joshua 2413 to 15 Choose life. And I have given you a land for
• 34:57
  which you did not label, And cities which he built not, and
• 35:02
  he dwelt in them of the vineyards and olive yards which
• 35:06
  he have planted not do ye eat? 14 Now therefore fear the Lord,
• 35:12
  and serve him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods
• 35:16
  which your father served on the other side of the flood and in
• 35:20
  Egypt, and serve ye the Lord. 15 And if it seem evil unto you to
• 35:26
  serve the Lord, he said, Choose you this day whom he will serve,
• 35:31
  whether the gods which your father served, that were on the
• 35:33
  other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose
• 35:38
  land ye dwell? It says, But As for me and my
• 35:42
  house, we will serve the Lord. Someone make that statement.
• 35:48
  We will serve the Lord one more time.
• 35:53
  We will serve the Lord. Deuteronomy chapter 30 and verse
• 35:58
  19. Deuteronomy chapter 30 and verse
• 36:03
  19. I call heaven and earth to
• 36:06
  record this day against you, that I have set before you life
• 36:11
  and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore he says, choose life,
• 36:18
  that both thou and thy seed may leave.
• 36:23
  God wants to challenge us tonight by this teaching.
• 36:27
  It's a call to put our lives in order.
• 36:30
  It is a call. I think it's Psalm 119, verse
• 36:34
  133 or thereabout. Please find it for us.
• 36:37
  It says order my steps. Yeah, beautiful.
• 36:40
  It says order my steps in thy word and let not any iniquity
• 36:45
  have dominion over me. Order my steps.
• 36:49
  That means I'm tired of living a foolish life.
• 36:52
  I'm tired of Rigma rolling around destiny.
• 36:55
  I want my life to have order, meaning, and precision.
• 37:00
  Hallelujah. One of the great blessings that
• 37:05
  I received from 2 very profound men, Doctor Mike Murdock, still
• 37:12
  alive and Doctor Miles Monroe of blessed memory.
• 37:15
  Among the many things that they did to me as a contribution to
• 37:19
  my growth was the awareness of the power of choices and
• 37:25
  decisions. It is one thing that I learnt
• 37:27
  about them that decisions truly decide destiny.
• 37:33
  And I'm going to say a few things that I wanted to please
• 37:36
  pay rapt attention to. Number 1 is that decisions
• 37:43
  decide destiny. Time does not decide destiny.
• 37:48
  Location does not necessarily decide destiny.
• 37:52
  Age does not necessarily decide destiny.
• 37:56
  Gender does not necessarily decide destiny.
• 37:59
  Ultimately, decisions decide an individual's destiny.
• 38:05
  It's important that you know this.
• 38:08
  I've said it here in this House that your decisions more than
• 38:12
  your conditions will decide the quality of your life or
• 38:16
  otherwise, your decisions more than your conditions will decide
• 38:22
  the quality of your life. That means it doesn't matter
• 38:25
  what is currently happening in your life right now.
• 38:28
  Your decisions more than your conditions is what will
• 38:33
  determine the quality of your life eventually.
• 38:38
  The Bible and history is full of people who had beautiful
• 38:42
  conditions, but poor decisions turn those conditions to reflect
• 38:48
  the consequences of their decisions.
• 38:50
  An example is a prodigal son. The prodigal son had plenty.
• 38:54
  He had a responsible father. He had loving brothers and a
• 38:58
  family. But his singular decision to
• 39:02
  pathways with his family landed him in a destiny that we used
• 39:08
  today to warn people. Are we together?
• 39:13
  Lot was one who connected to Abraham, had the opportunity to
• 39:17
  live a life of meaning and purpose, and he decided to
• 39:21
  separate from Abraham and he found himself in Sodom.
• 39:26
  Decisions, more than your conditions decide.
• 39:29
  The quality of your life is someone learning.
• 39:33
  I have also taught you here that every decision is connected to
• 39:39
  consequences. A consequence is a corresponding
• 39:43
  outcome. A consequence, again I repeat,
• 39:47
  is a corresponding outcome. It's a resultant effect of A
• 39:51
  cause. So every time we make choices
• 39:56
  and decisions, please listen carefully.
• 39:59
  We do not choose consequences. There are consequences already
• 40:05
  connected by default to every decision.
• 40:09
  Poverty. Is a consequence.
• 40:12
  Failure is a consequence. Even death in many regards can
• 40:17
  be a consequence. There are certain sicknesses
• 40:20
  that are consequences beyond just medical conditions.
• 40:25
  A life of pain and depression and defeat is a consequence.
• 40:30
  Our world is full of people angry at consequences, not
• 40:35
  knowing that we are not given the power to choose
• 40:39
  consequences. Please listen.
• 40:41
  We are not given the power to choose consequences.
• 40:45
  Consequences are already connected by default to
• 40:48
  decisions. We make choices and decisions,
• 40:53
  and the decisions automatically gravitate us to the
• 40:58
  corresponding consequences. So you can find two people, one
• 41:03
  living an excellent life in the Spirit, an excellent life as a
• 41:07
  man of God, an excellent life in destiny, and then on the other
• 41:11
  hand, you will find an individual living a defeated
• 41:14
  life. What's the difference?
• 41:16
  It is not the will of God. What is the difference?
• 41:18
  It's not the presence of Satan. What is the difference?
• 41:21
  It's not even the territory where they are domiciled in.
• 41:24
  Ultimately their decisions. There were consequences
• 41:28
  connected to those decisions. To 1 he made a superior decision
• 41:33
  and benefited from a positive consequence.
• 41:36
  To another, he made a poor decision and a decision
• 41:40
  delivered without fail. The consequences.
• 41:45
  Everyone of us right now is living in the reality of
• 41:48
  consequences. Are we together?
• 41:50
  Everyone living in the reality of consequences.
• 41:54
  What you just watched a few minutes ago is a decision that
• 42:00
  was made now you there are consequences that follow this
• 42:03
  decision that was just made. Consequences of health, life
• 42:09
  advancement decisions are so powerful that God himself
• 42:14
  reminds people that I said before you life and death. 30
• 42:18
  and verse 19 of Deuteronomy, I said before you blessing and
• 42:22
  cursing. I said before you life and death
• 42:27
  something so powerful that it can choose life or it can choose
• 42:32
  death for you something so powerful that it can bring you
• 42:35
  to a realm of blessing or a realm of cursing.
• 42:38
  He says, therefore this is my counsel choose life Hallelujah.
• 42:46
  Now write the following, please. To choose means that you have to
• 42:53
  be aware of all the other options available to choose.
• 42:59
  This is the implication of making choices that to choose
• 43:04
  means that you have to be aware of other options.
• 43:08
  Maybe not all other options, but other options that are available
• 43:14
  alongside the outcomes they create.
• 43:17
  Please listen, you are not able to choose until you understand.
• 43:22
  If I have just one option or just one outcome, I cannot say
• 43:27
  choose. The very idea of choosing means
• 43:30
  that there are many paths to life and destiny.
• 43:33
  Are we together? The very idea of choosing means
• 43:37
  that you are at liberty. There are many, many
• 43:40
  possibilities. You can sample different paths
• 43:45
  that you want to take in your life and destiny.
• 43:49
  To choose means you have to be aware.
• 43:52
  Most believers cannot make quality choices because they are
• 43:55
  not even aware of what the other options are.
• 43:59
  They gravitated by default into failure.
• 44:02
  They gravitated by default either from ancestry, are we
• 44:06
  together, or through environmental conditioning.
• 44:09
  The average individual has not been given an opportunity to see
• 44:14
  life from the lens of wisdom, to be able to see the options and
• 44:18
  the variables to destiny actualization.
• 44:23
  Are we together? So like people say, like father,
• 44:27
  like son, like mother, like daughter.
• 44:30
  I saw my father doing this, I am also doing it.
• 44:33
  I saw my mother doing this, I am also doing it.
• 44:36
  I saw people bribing and cheating, I'm also doing it.
• 44:39
  So the average believer is not aware that you truly cannot
• 44:44
  choose until the 1st miracle to be able to make quality choices
• 44:49
  and decisions is that you must be aware of the various options
• 44:55
  available. If you bring a buffet before me,
• 45:01
  now I can choose because there might be swallow, maybe rice in
• 45:06
  their various forms, maybe vegetables, maybe drinks and all
• 45:11
  of that. Then you can now tell me choose.
• 45:13
  But if you bring a plate of rice, what you should say is
• 45:16
  eat, not choose, because that's the only thing that is there.
• 45:20
  Are we together? Most people are not aware and I
• 45:23
  want you to listen carefully. The devil has blinded the mind
• 45:27
  of even believers. Most believers do not know that
• 45:32
  there is another way of living beyond the way they have known.
• 45:36
  Most believers do not know that your life can be lived in such a
• 45:40
  way and manner that is different from what you have known.
• 45:44
  The general psychology is that whatever you find, you follow
• 45:48
  suit. But I am announcing to you by
• 45:50
  the authority of Scripture that the path you saw may not be the
• 45:54
  path needed for your destiny. The path you saw may not be the
• 45:58
  only path. The path of witchcraft, the path
• 46:01
  of failure, the path of irresponsibility.
• 46:04
  Are we together? The path of laziness and
• 46:06
  carelessness and idolatry. It may be the path you saw, but
• 46:10
  it's not the only path available.
• 46:16
  It's not my fault, Apostle. This is how life is.
• 46:18
  No, it is what you know. That may not be the only thing
• 46:23
  there. Imagine that you want to use a
• 46:26
  restroom, and there are times that in a house or in a building
• 46:29
  a structure such like this, there might be multiple
• 46:32
  restrooms, but they may direct you to 1, and if that one is
• 46:36
  filled or in use, you just stand there stranded, not knowing that
• 46:40
  there can be other restrooms. It's just that you don't know
• 46:42
  how to get there. This is how it is with life.
• 46:46
  Do you know there are many people who do not know that
• 46:48
  there is a way out of a life of poverty?
• 46:51
  There are those who do not know that there is a way out of
• 46:53
  spiritual laxity and laziness. There is a way out of courses
• 46:59
  and yokes and spells. There is a way out of a life of
• 47:02
  defeat and mediocrity. Ladies and gentlemen, hear me.
• 47:07
  If God says choose life, then it means the Spirit of Wisdom has
• 47:11
  an assignment to open you up to the various options that are
• 47:14
  there, leaving you with the decision to choose.
• 47:18
  There were two trees in the Garden of Eden.
• 47:20
  That is the first representation of God's determination to make
• 47:24
  man choose. I said before you the tree of
• 47:28
  life. Then I said before you the tree
• 47:30
  of the knowledge of good and evil.
• 47:33
  I can't force you, God for you. I can't force you.
• 47:37
  I leave you to these options, but I can only advise you choose
• 47:42
  life. Hallelujah.
• 47:47
  With all due respect, the prisons today are full of many
• 47:51
  people. Not all people but many people
• 47:55
  who made choices and the corresponding consequences is
• 48:00
  what they are experiencing today.
• 48:02
  There are graves today that are testaments of negative
• 48:08
  consequences as a result of poor choices that people made with
• 48:12
  their lives. To choose me have to be aware of
• 48:18
  all the options that are available.
• 48:21
  Please look up. Let me list for you at least
• 48:24
  four options that are available #1A life of grace and glory.
• 48:35
  A life of dignity and honor is an option that is available on
• 48:39
  this table. Grace and glory, dignity and
• 48:43
  honor is an option you can choose from #2A life of
• 48:48
  mediocrity, barely surviving, getting by.
• 48:53
  This is a second option. You are not exactly a failure,
• 48:58
  but you are not exactly a success to mediocrity.
• 49:02
  Average number 3A. Life of total confusion with no
• 49:09
  sense of direction. That is 1/3 option that can be
• 49:13
  there. Grace and glory, dignity and
• 49:17
  honor, mediocrity and an average life barely getting by.
• 49:22
  Third option is a life of total confusion, living from pillar to
• 49:26
  post, hoping you are right. And finally, a life of total
• 49:31
  defeat. Total defeat.
• 49:34
  Failure by every definition. Every one of these outcomes that
• 49:41
  I just mentioned have decisions connected to them.
• 49:44
  There is something you need to do that makes you have a life of
• 49:48
  dignity and honor, a life of grace and glory.
• 49:52
  There is something you need to do that makes you a mediocre.
• 49:55
  You don't just become a mediocre.
• 49:57
  You don't just become an average.
• 49:59
  No, there is something you need to do.
• 50:03
  There is something you need to do that leaves you confused or
• 50:06
  not do, that leaves you totally disoriented as far as life and
• 50:10
  destiny is concerned, as a preacher, as a parent, as a
• 50:14
  leader. And there is something you need
• 50:17
  to do or not do that leaves you with total failure and one who
• 50:23
  is an epitome of defeat. I said before you life and
• 50:29
  death. I said before you blessing and
• 50:32
  cursing, and I advise you choose life.
• 50:35
  The second thing I want you to know is that to choose life
• 50:39
  means to conclude on a path to follow after a careful
• 50:46
  examination of the various outcomes they produce.
• 50:49
  I'll take it again. Then you listen to choose life
• 50:52
  or to choose means to conclude on a path to follow.
• 50:59
  To choose means to conclude on a path to follow after careful
• 51:04
  examination of the various outcomes they produce.
• 51:10
  So when we say you are choosing, it means that you are not only
• 51:14
  aware of the various options, but you consider all the options
• 51:19
  1 by 1 until you are aware of the various consequences they
• 51:24
  produce. Then you now make a decision
• 51:27
  from a standpoint of knowledge, having known all the
• 51:31
  consequences that they produce. This is my conclusion.
• 51:36
  To choose means to conclude on a path to follow after careful
• 51:43
  examination of the various outcomes they produce.
• 51:48
  So you can take poverty as a case study study carefully.
• 51:53
  Does this bless God? Does this bless you?
• 51:56
  Does this make you a blessing to people?
• 51:58
  Use scriptures to check it. Prosperity, godliness,
• 52:03
  irresponsibility, are we together?
• 52:06
  A life of dignity, laziness. All of these options you
• 52:10
  consider them. Then at the end of it, you now
• 52:13
  come to a conclusion that based on my research, I have chosen to
• 52:19
  follow a life of spirituality, responsibility, dignity, are we
• 52:24
  together? Integrity, and so on.
• 52:28
  So choices happen only as a conclusion on a path to follow
• 52:35
  after careful examination of the various outcomes that they
• 52:38
  produce. Now, choices and decisions are
• 52:44
  pathways. Please write it down.
• 52:47
  Choices and decisions are pathways.
• 52:50
  They always lead somewhere. Choices and decisions are
• 52:55
  pathways. PATHWAYS, pathways.
• 53:02
  They always lead somewhere. Choices and decisions are
• 53:07
  pathways. They always lead somewhere.
• 53:11
  My God, write this as you believe it every time you are
• 53:17
  making a decision. Koinonia, listen to me.
• 53:20
  Every time you are making choices, imagine yourself going
• 53:24
  somewhere. With choices come motion.
• 53:28
  We move in destiny by making choices, not just by moving with
• 53:32
  your feet. That means in indecision.
• 53:35
  Even if you are moving, you are still.
• 53:37
  It is the path. The path that you follow is from
• 53:41
  the choices that you make. Choices are pathways, they
• 53:45
  always lead somewhere. That means the moment you start
• 53:49
  making choices, you must live where you are, either to become
• 53:53
  better or to become worse. Choices are pathways, they
• 53:59
  always lead somewhere. Are we together?
• 54:06
  Right? The next point, please.
• 54:07
  I hope God is speaking to someone already Prolonged
• 54:12
  indecision. This one came by the Spirit as I
• 54:15
  was preparing for this. Prolonged indecision is giving
• 54:20
  circumstances permission to choose for you.
• 54:25
  Prolonged indecision is giving circumstances permission to
• 54:30
  choose for you. That means when you stay in a
• 54:35
  state of indecision for a long time, what you only succeeded in
• 54:39
  doing was giving circumstances permission to choose anything
• 54:43
  for you. A farmer does not need to tell
• 54:49
  weeds to grow. All he needs to do is to refuse
• 54:52
  to farm and something will grow. What is the name agriculture?
• 54:56
  We are taught in agriculture that weeds are unwanted plants.
• 55:00
  They are plants, but they are just not wanted.
• 55:05
  Prolonged indecision is giving circumstances permission to
• 55:12
  choose for you. Wow.
• 55:15
  That means if you refuse to make choices and to decide, you will
• 55:18
  still find yourself going somewhere.
• 55:20
  That somewhere you go to life and circumstances became
• 55:25
  impatient with your indecision and they chose for you.
• 55:33
  I don't know if I will serve God.
• 55:34
  I don't know if I will be serious.
• 55:36
  Let's just see how it goes. Eventually demons will
• 55:40
  manipulate life and you will follow the category of those who
• 55:43
  have hated God and you find yourself suffering the
• 55:46
  consequence. And you say I cannot remember
• 55:48
  making this choice. Prolonged indecision is giving
• 55:53
  life permission to choose for you.
• 55:55
  It is dangerous to allow circumstances choose your
• 55:58
  outcomes. It will always be to your
• 56:01
  disadvantage. Is God speaking to someone?
• 56:05
  Prolonged indecision is giving circumstances permission to
• 56:09
  choose for you. Next point very quickly.
• 56:12
  God is challenging our thoughts. It takes making decisions to
• 56:18
  rise in life, and it takes making decisions to fall in
• 56:21
  life. When people rise, it is because
• 56:25
  of decisions. When people fall or fail in
• 56:28
  life, it is because of decisions.
• 56:33
  It takes making decisions to rise in life, and it takes
• 56:37
  making decisions to fall or to fail in life.
• 56:45
  If we're together, say Amen. Now I want you to look up,
• 56:49
  please. Do you know the major way causes
• 56:53
  and enchantments work? I want to teach you something.
• 56:56
  Let me have your attention, please.
• 56:58
  Causes and enchantments. All these things we call causes
• 57:02
  and enchantments. Do you know how they work?
• 57:04
  They work by programming your ability to make decisions.
• 57:10
  This is principally how causes and enchantments work.
• 57:14
  It is also the way the blessing works.
• 57:17
  All of them depend on the cooperation of your decisions.
• 57:20
  They influence you. Curses, enchantments, manipulate
• 57:28
  you into making wrong choices and decisions so that you find
• 57:32
  out that your outcome becomes predictably bad.
• 57:36
  The same spirit influence your Father and he for instance, got
• 57:41
  into drinking, got into whatever things, and it destroyed his
• 57:44
  life. You find out as a young man when
• 57:46
  that curse is working on you. It has no power on you.
• 57:50
  If you don't have a mind, it will manipulate your thinking to
• 57:53
  start making you make decisions. It plans your appetite around
• 57:58
  certain decisions that produce a predictable consequence.
• 58:05
  So it's not just that causes and enchantments work arbitrarily.
• 58:09
  No, they depend on the cooperation of your will.
• 58:14
  So one of the ways we really get delivered from causes and yokes
• 58:19
  I have taught you is not just conducting deliverance.
• 58:22
  It's giving you a superior orientation so that your choices
• 58:26
  will now come from another kind of information and idea.
• 58:32
  Is someone listening now? Enchantments.
• 58:36
  I have seen people who will tell you from today I will behave
• 58:40
  well. From today I'll be a nice
• 58:43
  person. And this spirit, they manipulate
• 58:45
  the person. Now I hope you know it's not the
• 58:48
  spirits that carried your two legs to the place of trouble.
• 58:51
  You went there by yourself. They influenced you the same
• 58:58
  way. When the blessing is on you, it
• 59:00
  will make you to have an appetite to come to church.
• 59:03
  And the day you come to church, that is the day your word will
• 59:06
  come. The day you come to church like
• 59:08
  the dear lady who gave the testimony, that is the day that
• 59:11
  you will meet your employee and one thing will lead to the
• 59:14
  other. That is how the blessing works.
• 59:16
  So when I speak over you and say be blessed among the many things
• 59:20
  the Holy Spirit is doing, it's not just a force that rests on
• 59:24
  you and vetoes your will. It begins to guide.
• 59:28
  I don't want to use the word manipulate, you don't use that
• 59:30
  for the Spirit of God, but it begins to culture and influence
• 59:34
  your thinking. Are we together?
• 59:36
  And you will start making pro-life decisions, pro
• 59:40
  prosperity decisions, pro responsibility decisions, pro
• 59:45
  development decisions. You can always know what spirit
• 59:52
  is influencing you by the kind of decisions you are making and
• 59:56
  the outcomes that follow. Are we together?
• 1:00:00
  If you find out that your life is always ending in pain, you
• 1:00:03
  are getting into trouble, all kinds of troubles.
• 1:00:06
  It is either you are wasting the ministry of the Holy Spirit
• 1:00:09
  through rebellion and stubbornness, or it's not even
• 1:00:12
  the Holy Spirit who is there in the 1st place.
• 1:00:16
  I hope you know that many spirits can coexist within a
• 1:00:18
  man. The madman in gatherer.
• 1:00:21
  A good lesson, Peter. Even though he was with Jesus,
• 1:00:25
  Jesus rebukes Satan from him and says Peter, Satan has desire to
• 1:00:30
  sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you.
• 1:00:32
  And Peter did not even know when Satan entered him.
• 1:00:35
  The Bible says Satan entered Judas.
• 1:00:39
  So Judas's desire to use Jesus to make money was not ordinary.
• 1:00:44
  His will was there, but the assignment of Satan was to
• 1:00:48
  manipulate him. How many of you have seen a
• 1:00:49
  puppet? This thing they do for children,
• 1:00:52
  you put your hands inside and then you are making the thing
• 1:00:56
  sing. Now it can be so real you forget
• 1:00:58
  that it's actually a human beings hand.
• 1:01:01
  Are we together? But if you drop that thing
• 1:01:03
  without the hand, it has no power.
• 1:01:05
  The singing and the dancing happens because someones hand is
• 1:01:09
  controlling it. I'm praying for somebody in the
• 1:01:12
  name of Jesus Christ. Every decision that has landed
• 1:01:16
  you in trouble, landed your family in pain, poverty, a life
• 1:01:20
  of mediocrity, a life that is far from God.
• 1:01:23
  I'm praying for you. By the spirit of the living God,
• 1:01:25
  let a miracle of deliverance happen for you tonight.
• 1:01:33
  Hallelujah. It takes making decisions to
• 1:01:36
  rise in life, and it takes making decisions to fall or to
• 1:01:41
  fail in life. Failure has a formula.
• 1:01:45
  Are we together? Unfortunately for failure, you
• 1:01:48
  don't have to learn it to experience it.
• 1:01:52
  The formula was designed to find you and act upon you in the
• 1:01:55
  presence of ignorance. Write this down.
• 1:02:04
  The real value of wisdom. The real value of wisdom is in
• 1:02:11
  its ability to help you make destiny superior destiny
• 1:02:17
  advancing decisions. I'll take it again.
• 1:02:21
  The real value of wisdom is in its ability to help you make
• 1:02:25
  superior destiny advancing decisions.
• 1:02:31
  So if you say I am wise or I have the spirit of wisdom in my
• 1:02:36
  life. The real value of wisdom is in
• 1:02:42
  its ability to help you make superior destiny advancing
• 1:02:48
  decisions. Please write it, write it in
• 1:02:52
  your heart and write it on your notes.
• 1:02:56
  The real value of wisdom is in its ability to help you make
• 1:03:01
  superior destiny advancing decisions.
• 1:03:12
  There are many people claiming to be wise, There are many
• 1:03:16
  impartation services, with all due respect, that purport to
• 1:03:20
  impart wisdom. But we do not see the Excellency
• 1:03:23
  of wisdom in the life of believers because believers are
• 1:03:26
  still surrounded by very foolish decisions that they keep making
• 1:03:30
  again and again and again. And the moment you see that the
• 1:03:33
  effects of the decisions that you make is not leading you
• 1:03:37
  towards a desired heaven, it then means you are bankrupt of
• 1:03:41
  wisdom. The Bible says does any man lack
• 1:03:43
  wisdom? My question is how do you know
• 1:03:45
  you do not have wisdom by the outcomes of your life?
• 1:03:50
  You can know that I'm bankrupt of the wisdom of God by the
• 1:03:55
  outcomes. Listen.
• 1:03:56
  The real value of wisdom is in his ability to influence the
• 1:04:02
  quality of decisions that you make.
• 1:04:05
  When a man carries the spirit of wisdom, most if not all your
• 1:04:11
  decisions will be superior. Destiny advancing decisions, you
• 1:04:17
  can always know whether it is wisdom speaking or another
• 1:04:21
  spirit speaking by the quality of decisions.
• 1:04:26
  Are we together now? Yes.
• 1:04:29
  Listen, this issue of decisions, I remember many years ago I
• 1:04:33
  would hear Doctor Murdoch who say decisions decide destiny.
• 1:04:39
  I I got what he was saying, but perhaps I did not understand the
• 1:04:42
  gravity of what he was saying. I've had the honor of meeting
• 1:04:50
  people I used to know many, many years ago, and for some of them,
• 1:04:54
  their lives have not changed or some of them have become very
• 1:04:59
  worst versions of themselves. I remember not too long ago I
• 1:05:04
  met someone I used to know years ago.
• 1:05:07
  My goodness, his life was not something to write home about.
• 1:05:10
  I had to honestly ask him what happened.
• 1:05:13
  But then I was asking something that whose answer I already
• 1:05:16
  knew. Decisions, decisions.
• 1:05:20
  Your conditions can be great, but your decisions will
• 1:05:24
  superimpose your conditions and bring you into a negative
• 1:05:28
  consequence if they are poor decisions.
• 1:05:31
  Whereas for another, you can come, you can have negative
• 1:05:35
  conditions surrounding you and make quality choices and
• 1:05:39
  decisions that end up bringing you to your desired heavens.
• 1:05:44
  I respected the power of choices and decisions when I came into a
• 1:05:48
  position of leadership and I understood how serious choices
• 1:05:54
  and decisions were. Do you know that one decision
• 1:05:58
  can make you a bad father forever.
• 1:06:01
  One decision can make you a bad mother forever.
• 1:06:04
  This is how powerful it is. One decision or indecision can
• 1:06:09
  send you to hell. Not 2, not 3.
• 1:06:12
  One decision. This is how powerful decisions
• 1:06:15
  are. There are people who have been
• 1:06:20
  sick in the hospital and yet they were able to survive.
• 1:06:23
  There are people who had accidents, hit by metals and all
• 1:06:27
  of that and were able to endure. But one decision you can make.
• 1:06:31
  It will not injure you physically, but it can literally
• 1:06:35
  define your eternal destiny. Whoever told you that choices
• 1:06:38
  and decisions are a cheap matter to play with, I can tell you
• 1:06:42
  sincerely, you are where you are right now, looking at me,
• 1:06:46
  especially if you hate where you are.
• 1:06:49
  It is an uncomfortable truth, but I want you to admit it right
• 1:06:52
  now in Koinonia that you are where you are as a reflection of
• 1:06:58
  the decisions and the choices that you have made.
• 1:07:03
  Apostle, everybody hates me. It has to be demonic.
• 1:07:06
  I agree, but those demons require something to work on and
• 1:07:11
  you donated your will through ignorance or your passion to not
• 1:07:16
  get knowledge and cooperated with them in bringing yourself
• 1:07:20
  to this current state. Can I tell you your real
• 1:07:23
  deliverance begins the day you admit that I am where I am,
• 1:07:29
  comfortable or not, because of the decisions I have made with
• 1:07:33
  my life. Hallelujah, there are many
• 1:07:38
  people who have made foolish decisions in the name of
• 1:07:40
  smartness. Now when the devil wants to
• 1:07:43
  deceive you, he changes the name of the consequences to attract
• 1:07:47
  you. Are we together now?
• 1:07:49
  Yes, Satan will call poison sweet or whatever it is and then
• 1:07:56
  because the name change does not mean the outcome will change.
• 1:08:00
  Are we together now? Yes, if you carry rotten food
• 1:08:05
  and you package it and put it in a beautiful cooler, does it
• 1:08:09
  change the state of the rotten food?
• 1:08:11
  It is still rotten. It's only the container.
• 1:08:13
  The only thing is that it would deceive more in that state, but
• 1:08:16
  it is still rotten food. This is the game Satan has been
• 1:08:19
  playing with many people, repackaging destruction in many
• 1:08:24
  packages that seem pleasant. And someone will come to the
• 1:08:27
  shop of life and destiny, and your eyes will go straight to
• 1:08:31
  something that has the power to tear you into pieces.
• 1:08:34
  But because it is packaged so beautifully, you will say, this
• 1:08:37
  is what I want. God will respect you.
• 1:08:40
  Satan will rejoice with you. You make the choices.
• 1:08:43
  And then when you now buy it, you are forced to eat of it.
• 1:08:47
  Because this is what happens. Choose life that you and your
• 1:08:55
  children may leave. I had the option of being a
• 1:09:00
  serious man of God or otherwise. I have the option of leading
• 1:09:04
  God's people with integrity and truth or otherwise.
• 1:09:08
  Are we together now? When you choose, it is the
• 1:09:11
  conclusion of many, many alternatives that you have
• 1:09:13
  thrown away. But the Excellency of the
• 1:09:16
  decisions and the choices that you make, it is demonstrated.
• 1:09:21
  If you see, let me tell you this, you cannot fake choices
• 1:09:24
  forever. No, it will catch up with you.
• 1:09:28
  The consequences. Know your address more than DHL.
• 1:09:31
  They will find you, You make choices and travel anywhere.
• 1:09:35
  They will fish you out. It's not like this one that does
• 1:09:37
  say where's your house and be going around.
• 1:09:39
  You know the delivery man will be tired because he cannot find
• 1:09:42
  where your house is. Even if you decide to go to a
• 1:09:45
  place where you are alone, the choices are so powerful with
• 1:09:50
  digital precision, they will look for you.
• 1:09:53
  For instance, there are people rejecting God now because they
• 1:09:57
  want money. Hello, let me have your
• 1:09:59
  attention. There are people the moment you
• 1:10:02
  mention anything God or anything touched, because there are still
• 1:10:06
  17 years, 25 years, 30 years. They say I have time, don't mind
• 1:10:11
  this thing of God. And then they open their eyes
• 1:10:14
  and find out they're celebrating 50 and all the children they
• 1:10:18
  give back to, not one of them is serving God because like father,
• 1:10:23
  like son, are we together now? And then they begin to get
• 1:10:28
  angry. What is this?
• 1:10:30
  There are people who made a decision and are making
• 1:10:32
  decisions now that they will not be responsible with their lives.
• 1:10:37
  They will wake up and find out you have 50-60 years.
• 1:10:40
  You have not built any house. Your grandchildren, your
• 1:10:44
  children are still living in one room.
• 1:10:45
  With all due respect, one way the devil distracts us and robs
• 1:10:52
  us of the power to choose is giving excuses and offense.
• 1:10:56
  These two things, excuses and offense, are Satan's weapons of
• 1:11:02
  mass destruction. The moment you muster the art of
• 1:11:06
  giving excuses and then you bring yourself to a life of
• 1:11:09
  offense, you will never have the capacity to make quality
• 1:11:13
  choices. Why is your prayer life still
• 1:11:22
  down? Well, you see, there's no light
• 1:11:24
  in my compound. I'm staying in a place where
• 1:11:26
  there are many noisy people. And you know how this prayer
• 1:11:28
  thing you need time, Excuses. Are we together?
• 1:11:37
  What did you do with the 5 million naira that they gave
• 1:11:39
  you? You know, the way this country
• 1:11:41
  is there. I want to explain something.
• 1:11:43
  This rather than taking responsibility to say.
• 1:11:45
  Listen. I wasted it on riotous living.
• 1:11:48
  I am a prodigal son. I need help.
• 1:11:52
  Hello. The moment the prodigal son
• 1:11:57
  made-up his mind to choose, well, no demon in hell could
• 1:12:01
  keep him there. As powerful as Satan is, Satan
• 1:12:06
  could mislead him to leave the house.
• 1:12:08
  But the boy, Can you imagine? No prayer warrior was
• 1:12:11
  interceding for him by himself. He said, I will arise.
• 1:12:18
  Where were the spirits when he was going?
• 1:12:20
  The devil is not that powerful. It is the manipulation of your
• 1:12:24
  understanding that regardless what you choose, he can veto.
• 1:12:28
  It is a lie. If God respects your choice,
• 1:12:31
  every other spirit must also respect your choice.
• 1:12:34
  He said Behold I stand watch this, Behold, I stand at the
• 1:12:38
  door of your heart and knock. Who is knocking?
• 1:12:41
  God? Satan 2 knocks.
• 1:12:45
  It's just that he doesn't tell you he's knocking.
• 1:12:48
  He's too proud to admit that he needs to knock too so he will
• 1:12:52
  manipulate you into believing. Give me the keys to your heart
• 1:12:56
  and you give it to him so he can open the door any day and
• 1:13:00
  anytime. That revelation that God knocks
• 1:13:04
  is powerful. Every other spirit that has not
• 1:13:07
  been knocking force it to go behind the door and say knock
• 1:13:11
  and if you hear no, go away. Hallelujah.
• 1:13:17
  I will arise and I will go to my father.
• 1:13:20
  I will arise from this life of foolishness.
• 1:13:23
  I will arise from this misbehavior.
• 1:13:25
  Why is it that all good people keep living my life?
• 1:13:28
  I think there's just some disfavor.
• 1:13:29
  It's a lie. Every you have made-up your mind
• 1:13:33
  that you would talk anyhow, and people don't want you to be
• 1:13:37
  talking anyhow and carelessly. So they take you away from every
• 1:13:41
  time they're having their friends come around.
• 1:13:44
  If you say I'm coming to, they say please, you are not invited.
• 1:13:47
  It's because of your mouth is this is the self-inflicted
• 1:13:50
  course because once you come there, you will rubbish that
• 1:13:53
  meeting and the business meeting will end up being a wrestling
• 1:13:56
  because of something you will say choices you can make up your
• 1:14:04
  mind that I will trust God to teach my lips how to speak.
• 1:14:09
  I've taught you that everything God gave man, God gave man
• 1:14:13
  control over say control. Please shout it say control.
• 1:14:17
  There is nothing God gave man that God did not give man
• 1:14:21
  control. Anything God gave you that you
• 1:14:24
  lose control of it is spirit has taken it over your appetite,
• 1:14:29
  your passion. You're thinking if it is God
• 1:14:33
  that gave you, he also gave you the power to control it is
• 1:14:38
  someone learning. I continue to watch people make
• 1:14:42
  bad choices with their lives, destiny, damaging choices, even
• 1:14:47
  Christians. And yet they are surprised why
• 1:14:52
  certain outcomes continue to recycle.
• 1:14:56
  Do you know there are people today?
• 1:14:57
  In all honesty, this year was like last year regardless what
• 1:15:02
  prophetic word came because no prophetic word will veto your
• 1:15:06
  ability to choose. Prophetic words are announced so
• 1:15:12
  that you will know what God wants to do.
• 1:15:14
  Then align your decisions and your choices.
• 1:15:17
  Are we together? Deuteronomy chapter 28 and verse
• 1:15:21
  one? It shall come to pass.
• 1:15:23
  It's in your Bible. If thou shall happen.
• 1:15:26
  Why would God be explaining it to men?
• 1:15:28
  I thought he's all powerful. If you want to bless, bless God.
• 1:15:33
  If you want to curse, curse God. If you want to move it Israel
• 1:15:37
  out of Egypt, move them. You are almighty.
• 1:15:39
  Why does God seem helpless when he's talking with men?
• 1:15:43
  Because he gave man one ability that makes man like Him the
• 1:15:47
  power to choose. Jesus had the power to say God
• 1:15:53
  plans have changed. I will not die for any man.
• 1:15:55
  These people are crazy. They are coming to die for them
• 1:15:58
  and they are not grateful and God would have respected his
• 1:16:00
  choice. I hope you know that the Bible
• 1:16:02
  says he was tempted in every way.
• 1:16:05
  Father, if it be thy will, take this cup off me.
• 1:16:10
  He said I have the power to call a legion of angels.
• 1:16:17
  Many of us right now. The Lord gave me this message to
• 1:16:20
  the body of Christ. The decisions that you are
• 1:16:23
  making, you can pray and make wrong choices.
• 1:16:28
  Your wrong choices will veto your prayer.
• 1:16:31
  If God wants to help you, He will send you mercy and not that
• 1:16:35
  person will come and influence your mind.
• 1:16:36
  Can I tell you your choices will influence you more than your
• 1:16:40
  prayer life? Hear what I'm teaching you.
• 1:16:44
  Your choices will influence the outcome of your life and destiny
• 1:16:49
  more than your prayer life. It is the reason why there is a
• 1:16:53
  lot of prayer with all due respect that happens in the body
• 1:16:56
  of Christ and yet you do not see people making constructive
• 1:17:00
  destiny advancement because many believers just pray as a ritual
• 1:17:05
  but they do not purify their decisions to make what compliant
• 1:17:10
  pro destiny decisions. There are people till the next
• 1:17:16
  10 years, they will still be poor because of their decisions.
• 1:17:20
  There are people till the next 10 years, they will never build
• 1:17:22
  a house. With all due respect, there are
• 1:17:25
  pastors and leaders for the next 10 years.
• 1:17:27
  They will never rise. And don't say it does not
• 1:17:30
  matter. There are individuals whose
• 1:17:32
  lives would never make any notable Kingdom impact because
• 1:17:36
  of decisions. Decisions for the way of the
• 1:17:46
  Lord Easter way of wisdom. I choose the way of the Lord for
• 1:17:58
  the way of the Lord, Easter way of Wisdom.
• 1:18:06
  I choose the way you've heard me say it here in Koinonia.
• 1:18:13
  If you come from a poor family, don't let a poor family come out
• 1:18:16
  of you. If you come from a family of
• 1:18:19
  witchcraft, don't let witchcraft come out of you.
• 1:18:22
  If you were raised, with all due respect by irresponsible
• 1:18:26
  parents, don't waste the time arguing and hating them.
• 1:18:30
  And then you wake up and see children all around you and they
• 1:18:33
  call you daddy. You are almost tempted to say
• 1:18:35
  you are not my children. But time has gone, many of you
• 1:18:38
  right now. You are wasting time in anger.
• 1:18:41
  You are wasting time in bitterness.
• 1:18:44
  Anger and bitterness does not lead you to your desired heaven
• 1:18:48
  the day you settle down and choose.
• 1:18:50
  Apostle, I was raped when I was small.
• 1:18:53
  I sympathize with you. I don't downplay your pain, but
• 1:18:56
  if you stay there complaining, you will get to 40 years, 50
• 1:19:00
  years and not make any quality decision.
• 1:19:05
  Apostle, I hate my parents because when other people were
• 1:19:08
  going to school, they were there around dancing around
• 1:19:12
  masquerades and the result now is all of us are poor.
• 1:19:14
  What are you doing about it? They have run their own course.
• 1:19:18
  Can I tell you In my world, I have taught you Koinonia.
• 1:19:21
  In my world, an adult is not 18 years.
• 1:19:25
  I respect that statistics. What is a deception to many
• 1:19:28
  people? There are many, many adults
• 1:19:31
  calling themselves children in my world.
• 1:19:34
  The moment you can decide and you have an awareness of the
• 1:19:38
  consequences, you become an adult Immediately.
• 1:19:43
  How soon? Immediately let's stop pampering
• 1:19:49
  people to produce destructive destinies.
• 1:19:52
  You see someone 35 years, 40 years and it says I'm a last
• 1:19:57
  one. What does that mean?
• 1:19:59
  Of course I'm not being sarcastic.
• 1:20:00
  Yes, thank God that you are so. Destiny does not care.
• 1:20:06
  Ladies and gentlemen, the one who decides if it be thou bid me
• 1:20:12
  come, he said. Come.
• 1:20:13
  The one who chose to walk out on water was the one who
• 1:20:16
  experienced that miracle. Hallelujah.
• 1:20:22
  Our world is full of commentators who never make
• 1:20:26
  choices and decide. They comment about those making
• 1:20:29
  strategic impact and they cannot jump out of that water.
• 1:20:33
  Our business people, I'm ashamed of them.
• 1:20:35
  Something as easy as this and they will never do it.
• 1:20:39
  Preachers who are talking like that Scripture is not really
• 1:20:42
  correct and yet they will never do anything impactful.
• 1:20:46
  The war does not reward commentators.
• 1:20:48
  It is those who get up and and do something with their lives.
• 1:20:54
  Are we together? There are many people who
• 1:20:57
  insulted fathers, insulted mothers, parents now.
• 1:21:01
  Now is their tone. Their children are suffering
• 1:21:03
  worse conditions. Now.
• 1:21:06
  If your father and your mother, with all due respect, live the
• 1:21:10
  mediocre life, the first way out is to find another father and
• 1:21:15
  mother who reflects what you want to become.
• 1:21:19
  I told you that the principles of followership is twofold #1
• 1:21:22
  follow them #2 looking onto Jesus.
• 1:21:27
  This is how we become in the Kingdom.
• 1:21:29
  Follow them is the first principle of followership.
• 1:21:33
  There are some them that represent where you are going.
• 1:21:36
  Do you know why God creates, puts leaders in front of you?
• 1:21:41
  Those leaders are an attempt to model your future, that where
• 1:21:46
  you want to go to. So leaders are a personification
• 1:21:49
  of outcomes, a personification of decisions so that you can see
• 1:21:55
  the outcome in the life of others.
• 1:21:57
  Seeing somebody fail and then you go and fail again, you are
• 1:22:01
  the one who is twice as unwise because they already failed for
• 1:22:06
  you. The beauty of leadership is an
• 1:22:08
  opportunity to see the scars of people.
• 1:22:11
  They will show you their scars that I made this decision and
• 1:22:14
  this is a consequence. Now I am teaching you to save
• 1:22:18
  you the 20 years I wasted in my own life.
• 1:22:21
  A leader will say and yet many people will not respect it.
• 1:22:25
  I have taught you here in Koinonia that do not only
• 1:22:28
  respect crowns, respect scars because both crowns and scars
• 1:22:33
  are teachers. Any man you see wearing a crown
• 1:22:40
  look very well beyond the regalia.
• 1:22:43
  Look at his hands. You will see a scar, A scar, A
• 1:22:46
  testament of wrong decisions, a testament of endurance.
• 1:22:51
  Sometimes a testament of right decisions is someone learning as
• 1:23:01
  bring sample 10 young believers someone who will tell you I'm
• 1:23:06
  going to be a great man of God and ask him what are you doing
• 1:23:09
  now He will tell you well, once in a while I listen to some
• 1:23:14
  messages if I have the time to and then I just know what I'm
• 1:23:17
  focused on writing what God told me.
• 1:23:20
  My dear minister in the making, you will never arrive there by
• 1:23:24
  that behavior. No, no, there are many like you
• 1:23:29
  who wished ministry unfortunately does not happen by
• 1:23:32
  wishing the Bible say walk out your own salvation with fear and
• 1:23:37
  trembling, Walk it out. Hallelujah.
• 1:23:41
  There are many gentlemen right now they cannot tell me the last
• 1:23:45
  time they read a book, a quality pro destiny book.
• 1:23:50
  Many gentlemen cannot tell the last time they open themselves
• 1:23:55
  to receive quality strategic mentorship.
• 1:23:58
  Receiving mentorship at your terms is a joke.
• 1:24:01
  You will never amount to anything.
• 1:24:03
  It's like a teacher, a student telling the teacher I'm not
• 1:24:06
  ready to learn now just be patient, allow me rest.
• 1:24:09
  When I'm ready I will call you. Teacher says nonsense, Are we
• 1:24:16
  together? How many people are poor and
• 1:24:19
  broke today but will never respect the wisdom that comes
• 1:24:24
  from people who have been helped by God?
• 1:24:27
  No, Hallelujah. You want to become a great
• 1:24:34
  mother and you see a woman who is exceptional with a home and
• 1:24:38
  her children and you disrespect them.
• 1:24:41
  Do you know every time I see great people, I look past their
• 1:24:45
  results. I want to buy into their mindset
• 1:24:48
  because their results are consequences.
• 1:24:51
  Did you hear that their results are consequences?
• 1:24:54
  There are decisions that led there, and I want to hear it.
• 1:24:59
  What is your understanding like? What are your decision making
• 1:25:03
  processes like? Man of God, what decisions have
• 1:25:06
  you made that brought such power, such grace, such
• 1:25:09
  influence to your life? Let me sing that song again.
• 1:25:14
  For the way of the Lord is the way of wisdom.
• 1:25:22
  I choose the way of the Lord. Now, let me tell you this, I
• 1:25:29
  came from an evangelical background and being that my
• 1:25:32
  whole training and my exposure in ministry was from the
• 1:25:36
  Northern Middle Belt and context, you know, we got that
• 1:25:39
  foundation of character, moral excellence.
• 1:25:42
  But there were certain things about administrative excellence
• 1:25:47
  that I did not have the opportunity to see because of
• 1:25:50
  the background. As God began to expose me to a
• 1:25:54
  global audience, I knew that there were some things I did not
• 1:25:58
  get by the advantage of my background, and I will have to
• 1:26:02
  reinvent myself. And so back to the formula of
• 1:26:05
  followership. Follow them looking onto Jesus.
• 1:26:08
  There are things that them cannot teach you because the
• 1:26:11
  them too are students. It's just that they have gone
• 1:26:14
  ahead. Are we together?
• 1:26:16
  And I began to learn administrative principles.
• 1:26:20
  These are things that you do not get just by impartation.
• 1:26:23
  No, you get by knowledge, serious, constructive, definite
• 1:26:27
  knowledge. And I started getting the
• 1:26:30
  materials, opening up myself to the various trainings, in
• 1:26:35
  addition to being a man of God, to become an effective leader,
• 1:26:39
  leader of resources, leader of people.
• 1:26:43
  You see that now you want God to trust you to manage His
• 1:26:46
  resources, and all you have is a sincere heart that is good, but
• 1:26:50
  that is not enough. No, the dynamics of managing
• 1:26:54
  resources, resources, there being both human and material
• 1:26:58
  resources, This one is a learned skill.
• 1:27:01
  It comes by training, is not just a gift.
• 1:27:06
  Hallelujah. There are many believers who are
• 1:27:10
  trusting God for increase and promotion.
• 1:27:12
  You want to pass 200 members. There is a skill to pass to 100
• 1:27:17
  members. You want to pass through 1000
• 1:27:19
  members with the mentality of the one who passes 100 members.
• 1:27:23
  No, God loves his sheep too much.
• 1:27:25
  He will not trust you with that kind of thing.
• 1:27:27
  There is something you need to know.
• 1:27:29
  The dynamics of conflict resolution, the dynamics of
• 1:27:32
  people management. There are several things you
• 1:27:35
  need to learn at an elevated state in addition to prayer,
• 1:27:40
  fasting, and the ministry of the world.
• 1:27:43
  Decisions. What is the difference between
• 1:27:47
  someone who is running a big shopping mall and another person
• 1:27:50
  who is struggling with a small shop?
• 1:27:53
  It's not just exposure, it's their decisions.
• 1:27:56
  The person small there is either starting small or he has refused
• 1:28:00
  to grow. Refusal to grow is a decision
• 1:28:04
  and God and life can respect it. But the consequences that come
• 1:28:08
  with stuntedness will also meet you there.
• 1:28:12
  Without growth, there is no fruitfulness.
• 1:28:15
  Fruitfulness is a direct product of growth.
• 1:28:18
  If you see a baby that is pregnant, would you run away?
• 1:28:21
  Is that normal? Come on, talk to me.
• 1:28:23
  Adults, is that normal? No matter what genetic
• 1:28:28
  explanation they give In Africa, we'll call that person a witch.
• 1:28:32
  Wherever you came from, you are older than this body you are
• 1:28:34
  entering. And you would talk to the spirit
• 1:28:36
  and say you can't be that young. And maybe in some places they
• 1:28:39
  may even completely throw away that that because fruitfulness
• 1:28:44
  is a product of growth. If you go and plant mango seed
• 1:28:50
  and by the next day you see a tiny branch and you see mangoes
• 1:28:53
  bigger than it, you will not eat that mango.
• 1:28:56
  Because we were trained to respect fruitfulness when we
• 1:28:59
  find growth, are we together now?
• 1:29:02
  So most people brag about being fruitful, but they do not want
• 1:29:06
  to grow. If you do not grow, you cannot
• 1:29:09
  be fruitful. Be fruitful in ministry, Be
• 1:29:12
  fruitful in business. Be fruitful in destiny.
• 1:29:15
  It is a product of growth. Please say growth.
• 1:29:18
  And I have taught you that success is not what you seek.
• 1:29:22
  Success is what you attract by who you are becoming.
• 1:29:26
  Your growth is how success is attracted to you.
• 1:29:29
  Are we together? The moment you transit into
• 1:29:32
  superior versions of you, you begin to attract a certain kind
• 1:29:36
  of people, a certain kind of resources, a certain kind of
• 1:29:40
  influence. These are irrefutable spiritual
• 1:29:42
  laws. Luke chapter 2 and verse 52 and
• 1:29:47
  Jesus increase. I like that Scripture and Jesus
• 1:29:50
  increase. Even though the word of God,
• 1:29:53
  even though the fountain of wisdom, he subjected himself to
• 1:29:57
  this law, He increased. What does that mean?
• 1:29:59
  Another measure of that increase came to him in wisdom, in
• 1:30:04
  stature, in favor with God and with man.
• 1:30:08
  Once Upon a time I would never be able to say the whole globe
• 1:30:11
  should listen to me. Once Upon a time I was still
• 1:30:14
  alive, yet you will not come to hear me.
• 1:30:16
  Once Upon a time I was even anointed, yet you will not come
• 1:30:20
  to hear me. What happened?
• 1:30:21
  Growth, growth. Once Upon a time it will be
• 1:30:27
  foolishness and a demonic attack for me to want to go to another
• 1:30:30
  nation and organize a conference.
• 1:30:32
  Where will the money come from? And if the money comes, where
• 1:30:35
  will the people come from? And if the people come, the
• 1:30:37
  level of grace to defend that call, say growth, this is very
• 1:30:45
  powerful. There are many people praying
• 1:30:50
  for Rams that they are not willing to grow into, and it
• 1:30:53
  will never come. Pastors are praying sincerely,
• 1:30:57
  Lord, give me a global vision. And they think all there is is
• 1:31:00
  anointing and one sermon. Ministry preaching only accounts
• 1:31:04
  for about 30% of ministry. There are many other unseen
• 1:31:09
  aspects of ministry. You can preach well and fail as
• 1:31:13
  if God did not call you. Breathe, Lord, breathe, breathe,
• 1:31:20
  Lord, breathe. Breathe upon my life.
• 1:31:27
  Breathe Lord, breathe, breathe, Lord, breathe, Breathe upon my
• 1:31:35
  life I receive. I manifest your power and your
• 1:31:45
  whistle. Till the nation see Jesus lift
• 1:31:53
  their eyes. That is why even in the spirit
• 1:32:01
  there is something called spiritual growth.
• 1:32:05
  Are we together now? There are things I can do now in
• 1:32:07
  the spirit I would not have been able to do 1020 years ago.
• 1:32:11
  Not because it's not the same life I have, but exploring the
• 1:32:15
  riches of that life and walking in dexterity, the power, the
• 1:32:20
  grace, the wisdom. Are we together?
• 1:32:24
  And there are many young people because of this arrogance of our
• 1:32:28
  generation, believing I can do all things in Christ.
• 1:32:31
  They have dead certain things that are beyond the scope of
• 1:32:34
  their growth and beyond the level of the spiritual power
• 1:32:38
  that they carry, and they have casualties to tell for it.
• 1:32:44
  You see, with all due respect, you see this simple thing here
• 1:32:48
  coming to have all the fathers in the land, and then you are
• 1:32:52
  making declarations and speaking over spirits.
• 1:32:56
  Let me tell you, you better know where you stand before you take
• 1:32:59
  a risk like this. There are people you do this
• 1:33:02
  kind of thing before the service is your dead body that will
• 1:33:05
  carry out as simple as it sounds, because in making
• 1:33:09
  declarations you are talking to spirits who are hearing you.
• 1:33:16
  It sounds very easy, but there are idols in your own village.
• 1:33:20
  You go and try it just go and gather the people and say come
• 1:33:28
  I've read in my Bible shall take off serpents.
• 1:33:31
  Where is the those in charge of the stride.
• 1:33:34
  I'm not scaring you forget it. If you don't grow there are
• 1:33:38
  things you will see in the Bible, but on trying it you
• 1:33:41
  watch wrestling. That's what we call wrestling.
• 1:33:44
  Wrestling that people jump and fly and, you know, fall down on
• 1:33:49
  one another and twist one another, throw them up as if
• 1:33:52
  they're playing. They give disclaimers and say
• 1:33:55
  you are watching for entertainment.
• 1:33:57
  Make sure parents watch your children.
• 1:33:59
  Make sure they do not try it. By the time you see your little
• 1:34:03
  child tie something on his neck because he wants to be Superman,
• 1:34:07
  and then he climbs the dining table and jumps up and falls,
• 1:34:11
  does that mean that R.E.M. cannot be attained?
• 1:34:14
  It can be attained by man, but not a man as small as that boy.
• 1:34:18
  There is something that boy can do and build muscles and
• 1:34:22
  stamina. Are we together?
• 1:34:23
  One day the same person who was crying will now jump up and fall
• 1:34:27
  down. That's how it is spiritually.
• 1:34:32
  There is a level of capacity you must carry recognized by heaven
• 1:34:37
  and hell to be able to do certain things.
• 1:34:41
  There are people today who have spoken over people I rebuke that
• 1:34:45
  125 year course upon your life and by the next day they get
• 1:34:50
  into dementia, they start forgetting everything and you
• 1:34:54
  are asking pastor, what happened?
• 1:34:56
  They, they, they threaded a territory that their growth
• 1:35:00
  could not afford. If growth was not necessary.
• 1:35:05
  God will not appoint men to follow men, nor men to ordain
• 1:35:09
  men. Are we together now?
• 1:35:12
  Is someone listening now? Yes, we're talking decisions.
• 1:35:16
  What is important for you to listen?
• 1:35:18
  Growth. When I was a child, I taught
• 1:35:21
  like a child. I acted like a child.
• 1:35:24
  There are people who have refused to grow.
• 1:35:27
  I'm going to say this because I want to round up by recapping
• 1:35:30
  something I've taught you, but the Lord put it in my spirit to
• 1:35:33
  challenge many people. Last year will look like this
• 1:35:37
  year. This year will look like next
• 1:35:39
  year. Regardless the prophetic word
• 1:35:41
  that comes. Your 10 years will look like
• 1:35:43
  yesterday or even worse than yesterday if you do not
• 1:35:46
  understand the power of choices and decisions.
• 1:35:51
  There are nations that when I travel to you will see something
• 1:35:54
  you once saw, but when you get there, you almost cannot know
• 1:35:57
  the place again because they have decided to improve and
• 1:36:00
  develop the place. There are places you wear as a
• 1:36:03
  child, even with your eyes closed, you can locate it.
• 1:36:07
  As a child, you were the one who hits the wall, and that part in
• 1:36:10
  the world you hit is still like that today, now that you're an
• 1:36:13
  adult, because nobody could fix whatever happened there.
• 1:36:16
  It's not good. Nations can decide to remain
• 1:36:21
  stagnated. Individuals can decide to remain
• 1:36:24
  stagnated. Families can decide to be a
• 1:36:28
  center of reproach and shame. Men can decide that I will not
• 1:36:35
  rise. I will remain small.
• 1:36:37
  I pray for you, whatever has kept you down, My dear people,
• 1:36:41
  in the name of Jesus, who is the Son of the living God, I'm
• 1:36:44
  praying that in this service you will begin to make constructive
• 1:36:48
  choices. Prostitution is a choice and
• 1:36:57
  robbery is a choice. Laziness is a choice.
• 1:37:01
  Prayerlessness is a choice. Worthlessness is a choice.
• 1:37:06
  Refusing to come to church is a choice.
• 1:37:09
  Having bad friends is a choice. Having good friends is a choice.
• 1:37:15
  Being a failure is a choice. Is just a choice whose dynamics
• 1:37:19
  you did not understand, but is a choice.
• 1:37:23
  Being poor is a choice. Being a mediocre is a choice.
• 1:37:30
  Living without help is a choice. Not enjoying the ministry of man
• 1:37:35
  is a choice. Failing in whatever you do is a
• 1:37:39
  choice. Becoming a child of God is a
• 1:37:47
  choice. As powerful as the Holy Spirit
• 1:37:51
  is, there are people here now who are not born again in all
• 1:37:54
  the overflows who are not born again, the thousands following
• 1:37:57
  across the globe who are not born again.
• 1:37:59
  He will be around you, but He will respect you.
• 1:38:02
  Waiting for the moment you declare the Lordship of Jesus by
• 1:38:05
  yourself. Hallelujah.
• 1:38:12
  Now let me tell you the truth, when God taught me this, I
• 1:38:18
  made-up my mind and I started making certain quality choices
• 1:38:24
  with my life. I want you to listen now, fasten
• 1:38:27
  your seat belt because we're going to rush very, very fast.
• 1:38:31
  I began to make certain choices with my life and the Lord gave
• 1:38:36
  me an assurance that if I insisted on making and staying
• 1:38:41
  on those choices that I will become a certain kind of
• 1:38:45
  believer. And we are not yet there in the
• 1:38:48
  fullness, but we are determined to keep making those choices.
• 1:38:53
  Are we together? He won't stop.
• 1:38:58
  He won't stop till my life looks like Him.
• 1:39:03
  He won't stop. He won't stop till I look just
• 1:39:09
  like Him. He won't stop.
• 1:39:12
  He won't stop till I look just like him.
• 1:39:19
  I remember many years ago, I would see, I would watch
• 1:39:23
  Reinhard bunker crusades and watch people rise up from
• 1:39:26
  wheelchairs, watch people throw crutches.
• 1:39:30
  You know, I didn't know the idea of being real or fake then.
• 1:39:33
  Those things were not in my mind, but I was watching.
• 1:39:35
  My God, how can a man have this kind of power?
• 1:39:39
  He was not. With all due respect to him,
• 1:39:41
  he's joined the cloud of witnesses.
• 1:39:43
  He was not such an orator. No, he would not share some deep
• 1:39:48
  revelation from Greek and Hebrew.
• 1:39:50
  No, he would just stand and speak and fire that you can feel
• 1:39:56
  in your physical body. I said, what did this man touch?
• 1:40:00
  What kind of grace is this? How about TL Osborne?
• 1:40:05
  He was a sound teacher of the world, so he will teach and then
• 1:40:08
  you will see mighty miracles. How about Billy Graham?
• 1:40:12
  Billy Graham would teach like he's doing a discussion, like a
• 1:40:15
  lecture. You almost feel sorry for him
• 1:40:17
  and think nobody will be convicted until he makes the
• 1:40:20
  altar call. You see people coming and see if
• 1:40:22
  they're dragging a chain, someone coming.
• 1:40:24
  You know that this is the Holy Ghost pushing this man, because
• 1:40:27
  the way the man's face is, you know that that man should not be
• 1:40:29
  in front, and yet he's coming out.
• 1:40:37
  But today as preachers, we will shout and shout and shout and
• 1:40:41
  even beg people, even kneeling down, OK, can you come to Jesus?
• 1:40:47
  Then we stand up, we raise a song again we say, I know
• 1:40:50
  there's one more person, come on, don't be ashamed.
• 1:40:52
  And and there are many sinners watching.
• 1:40:56
  Even the people by their left and right know from the time
• 1:40:59
  Savvy started their exhibited characteristics of sinners.
• 1:41:03
  The neighbors know the person should be in front and yet the
• 1:41:05
  person will not come out Hallelujah.
• 1:41:14
  Because one person chose that as a simple stamara that he would
• 1:41:20
  believe in God and he trusted God for the fire to fall and he
• 1:41:25
  made a choice. His choice was simple.
• 1:41:29
  God gave me a mandate that Africa shall be saved.
• 1:41:32
  And with that, this man went through all the disciplines by
• 1:41:36
  choice. That produces an evangelist.
• 1:41:39
  Indeed. TL Osborne went to India, he
• 1:41:44
  read his Bible law and went to India.
• 1:41:47
  And when he went to India, he was praying and asked people,
• 1:41:50
  OK, you know all of this. He finished preaching and the
• 1:41:53
  people were just watching him. At the end of it, he prayed, no
• 1:41:57
  salvation, no miracles. He left a seat, they drove him
• 1:42:00
  away. He returned back to America and
• 1:42:02
  said, God, something must be wrong, this is not what I see in
• 1:42:05
  the Bible. And the Lord told him that
• 1:42:08
  ministry happens with a demonstration of power.
• 1:42:11
  You do not call a people from one side of a belief system to
• 1:42:15
  another without a demonstration of power.
• 1:42:18
  He said, oh, that's it. He settled down and got genuine
• 1:42:21
  spiritual power. He went back to India.
• 1:42:25
  When he preached, they were still looking at him like that
• 1:42:28
  and he said one blind person should come out one person on a
• 1:42:32
  wheelchair, I think on a crotch, come out another person.
• 1:42:35
  And in their presence those people got healed.
• 1:42:38
  The place erupted, erupted, and without wasting energy, he
• 1:42:42
  called people to Jesus. That's how it works.
• 1:42:47
  Maybe God is talking to someone. If you go and do a crusade like
• 1:42:50
  that they will beat you on that ground.
• 1:42:55
  The name of the Lord stay tarry until ye be endued with power.
• 1:43:00
  Say power if this thing has not landed on your head.
• 1:43:04
  Tarryo tarry is is not every region that will just report you
• 1:43:09
  to go and read the Bible. Even those that have power they
• 1:43:13
  flog them. Talk more of those that do not
• 1:43:15
  have it. I mean, you have your Bible to
• 1:43:19
  read. Say power.
• 1:43:23
  Many of us downplay the power to choose.
• 1:43:25
  I know I'm digressing, but I am telling you there are certain
• 1:43:28
  equipings. If you do not carry, don't move
• 1:43:31
  to certain terrains, don't go and call the nation in Nigeria,
• 1:43:36
  nobody will sue you to court if they are not healed.
• 1:43:38
  There are regions who gather, people say the sick, the lame,
• 1:43:41
  the blind, you have all kinds of problems come, the people are
• 1:43:44
  coming, their lawyers are there coming to.
• 1:43:47
  And by the time you are done playing games, just when you
• 1:43:51
  think you are preparing to return back, you'll find out
• 1:43:54
  that you're in the prison. Hallelujah.
• 1:44:03
  Choices. Have you chosen to love God or
• 1:44:09
  are you just loving God? Have you chosen?
• 1:44:12
  Let me tell you something about choices.
• 1:44:14
  The fact that choices become deliberate, it gives you the
• 1:44:18
  staying power to maintain and defend your decisions.
• 1:44:23
  The moment you do not make a deliberate decision, listen to
• 1:44:27
  me. The energy to remain until you
• 1:44:30
  reap the consequences. The outcome of that decision is
• 1:44:34
  not in you. That means if I choose today
• 1:44:39
  that in the name of Jesus Christ I am going to become a great
• 1:44:43
  person. For instance, do you know the
• 1:44:45
  fact that you made that decision?
• 1:44:47
  The way God designed it is the energy to stay there even when
• 1:44:51
  you are in the pit and Daniel pop post in his heart give it to
• 1:44:56
  us. Daniel one verse 8.
• 1:44:59
  Daniel proposed in his heart that he would not define himself
• 1:45:03
  with the portion of the kings meat.
• 1:45:06
  It doesn't mean he was not hungry.
• 1:45:08
  Decisions are powerful. The staying power, the power to
• 1:45:13
  endure comes from making conscious decisions.
• 1:45:18
  The day you make up your mind that I'm on a journey to get
• 1:45:21
  spiritual power, the pain of fasting will no longer affect
• 1:45:25
  you. Believe me, every time you feel
• 1:45:28
  weary, the the fact that you have decided the fact that you
• 1:45:36
  have decided that is why before we fast, here we are now so
• 1:45:41
  people that were going to fast and this is what is for.
• 1:45:43
  Do you know why? Because if you just join
• 1:45:47
  carelessly, by 10 you almost feel like you are sick because
• 1:45:53
  the staying power is not there. Let me tell you why many people
• 1:45:56
  cannot push until their destiny images.
• 1:45:58
  They have not decided. You want to be rich, but you
• 1:46:02
  have not decided. I'm not talking of a hustler.
• 1:46:04
  You have not decided. You have not seen the need the
• 1:46:08
  day you settle down and say Lord this is my Bible.
• 1:46:11
  I choose that from this day forward, my children will not
• 1:46:15
  beg for bread again. Can I tell you, even if you are
• 1:46:18
  saying that in a one room, the entire energy of heaven that
• 1:46:22
  needs to support your growth. Many people have not chosen to
• 1:46:27
  stop what they are doing meant that there are people without
• 1:46:31
  prayer. They told themselves I will not
• 1:46:33
  smoke again. I'm telling you without a
• 1:46:36
  preacher. It was a decision they made and
• 1:46:41
  the day they made that decision either because they told them
• 1:46:45
  you have what's this thing that you get when you smoke liver,
• 1:46:51
  lung cancer. They tell them, Mister man, the
• 1:46:54
  day you touch one this in again that day you are going to die.
• 1:46:59
  Out of that fear will come a decision.
• 1:47:01
  No prayer, no fasting. They just decided from today
• 1:47:05
  that's the end of it. Can I tell you the truth by the
• 1:47:11
  privilege of God's grace and without any sense of of pride,
• 1:47:14
  there are things in my life today.
• 1:47:17
  It's not just a free gift. It's a product of a choice.
• 1:47:21
  The moment you choose the power to take your eyes away from many
• 1:47:26
  other variables leaves immediately.
• 1:47:29
  Are we together, Apostle? I want to pray, but do you know
• 1:47:35
  I pray there is a grace that comes so but that grace respects
• 1:47:39
  your choice. You don't have the power to
• 1:47:42
  change yourself, but you can choose and agree with God that I
• 1:47:45
  want to be changed. Hallelujah.
• 1:47:51
  I remember very clearly when I made-up my mind, I said, Lord, I
• 1:47:55
  have such scripture and I found out that if I am poor and I
• 1:48:00
  don't have the financial wherewithal, I may not do
• 1:48:03
  ministry with integrity and I may not be able to help people.
• 1:48:07
  Therefore, consciously I've listened to message, not a money
• 1:48:10
  monger, not just on prosperity jargon, consciously because I
• 1:48:15
  want to serve Jesus correctly. I want to live a life of
• 1:48:19
  integrity, ministry and to be a blessing.
• 1:48:22
  I made that vow today that me and poverty to be forever.
• 1:48:25
  The day I made that decision, there was no one there in my
• 1:48:28
  pocket, but it was signed in heaven.
• 1:48:30
  Can I tell you I don't mean to offend you?
• 1:48:33
  Truly, many of you are not yet serious enough.
• 1:48:36
  The realm of the Spirit does not take you serious enough.
• 1:48:39
  That's why some things have not changed.
• 1:48:42
  Did you hear what I said? Pastor, you are not ready to
• 1:48:45
  grow. That's why you are still giving
• 1:48:47
  flimsy excuses Is because another church is near me is
• 1:48:50
  because this one is happening is because I'm not an indigent in
• 1:48:53
  Abuja is a lie. The day you make up your mind
• 1:48:56
  and say there is a way out Father, the same Lord is rich
• 1:48:59
  unto all. There are fathers today.
• 1:49:01
  With all due respect, they are still giving flimsy excuses.
• 1:49:05
  They have not paid us our areas for five years.
• 1:49:07
  That's why I have not reason. It is a lie.
• 1:49:09
  The day you get angry and say Lord, you are the one who made
• 1:49:13
  me a father over four children, You cannot give me four children
• 1:49:16
  to turn my daughters and my sons into armed robbers and
• 1:49:19
  prostitutes. From this day, I made-up my mind
• 1:49:22
  that my child would never school fees again.
• 1:49:25
  You will see that the resources of heaven will rush towards you
• 1:49:29
  to support it. It is a principle that both
• 1:49:33
  spirituality and psychology agree on that the moment you
• 1:49:37
  make a decision how to make that decision come to pass is
• 1:49:41
  released to you immediately. The most important thing is to
• 1:49:44
  make the decision. Can I tell you there are many
• 1:49:46
  things I've decided in my life and in ministry at the point
• 1:49:50
  that decision was made? The strategy was not even there,
• 1:49:55
  but make the decision first. For instance, I will serve the
• 1:49:59
  Lord all the days of my life. What will I do now with the
• 1:50:03
  covenants of witchcraft? Don't worry, you decide first in
• 1:50:09
  the name of Jesus. I will not take last in class
• 1:50:12
  again. But I'm like that.
• 1:50:16
  I'm not really very sharp in my mind.
• 1:50:18
  You are not serious. You're not serious?
• 1:50:21
  No, you're not serious. I'm not very bright.
• 1:50:25
  No, you're not serious. I know that.
• 1:50:28
  I'm. I'm a barrister, but I'm not
• 1:50:30
  practicing. You know nobody wants to.
• 1:50:33
  Even you are not serious. I'm sorry.
• 1:50:35
  Don't feel bad, but just believe me.
• 1:50:36
  You're not serious. Apostle.
• 1:50:40
  People come. They come and receive miracles
• 1:50:42
  and they leave me. You are both lying and you are
• 1:50:44
  not serious. Nobody leaves.
• 1:50:46
  What works? Something about what you are
• 1:50:49
  saying is not true. You think you are blessing them?
• 1:50:52
  They are not getting blessed. Is someone getting angry?
• 1:50:59
  Let me speak to the gentleman for one minute.
• 1:51:01
  I want you to vow a vow. You know when I talk to you like
• 1:51:05
  this, I talk to you in love. There are some things you must
• 1:51:08
  choose to never let happen in your life.
• 1:51:12
  One that I will love the Lord with all my heart.
• 1:51:17
  I'm going to run through those things for you #2 I will be a
• 1:51:22
  responsible person as a leader and as a father.
• 1:51:26
  No gentleman in Kolonia should raise irresponsible children.
• 1:51:30
  You cannot pay their school fees.
• 1:51:32
  Transferring the responsibility to your wife and saying after
• 1:51:35
  all the Bible says 2 have become one.
• 1:51:37
  It means you have been wasting my energy here with all the
• 1:51:40
  preaching that I've been preaching.
• 1:51:42
  Honestly, you're only saying this because somebody will give
• 1:51:46
  you a seat after Koinonia. Where were they when we started?
• 1:51:50
  Decisions. You can make up your mind from
• 1:51:54
  today and say in the name of Jesus, by the next two years
• 1:51:58
  there are certain things that should happen in my life.
• 1:52:02
  Do you believe that you can make up your mind and say every day
• 1:52:07
  from today I will not sleep if I've not prayed for at least one
• 1:52:11
  hour? Decisions.
• 1:52:14
  Every day I must read this one or two chapters.
• 1:52:18
  You will default some days, but let the decision be there to
• 1:52:21
  guide you. I make up my mind from today,
• 1:52:25
  this and that and that. Friends.
• 1:52:29
  You see, the power to choose is an ability that God Himself
• 1:52:34
  respects. As for me, I've chosen, I used
• 1:52:39
  to tell them those days in Zarya that the future of these
• 1:52:43
  ministries in that world I across the nations of the earth.
• 1:52:48
  And today, by his grace, he has brought great glory to himself
• 1:52:52
  and he's still bringing glory to himself.
• 1:52:54
  It is not a mistake. I am only grateful to see that
• 1:52:59
  some of the choices we made today and now being manifest in
• 1:53:03
  our lives. I made-up my mind that I will
• 1:53:05
  never be a man of God who won't preach somewhere and waste the
• 1:53:09
  time of God's people. And as soon as they share the
• 1:53:11
  grace, I just say this man, no, no, no.
• 1:53:15
  So that the choice, whatever needs to be done as a sacrifice
• 1:53:20
  to prepare you. Is it praying?
• 1:53:22
  Is it fasting? Is it building your capacity?
• 1:53:25
  Choices is not just a mere wish, it's a decision backed up by the
• 1:53:29
  willingness to pay the price. That price factor, If you throw
• 1:53:34
  it away, you are not choosing. Hallelujah.
• 1:53:41
  I remember when I saw a few ministers of the gospel,
• 1:53:44
  especially watching their videos, I saw the kind of power
• 1:53:48
  that flow through their life. I made a vow that I will never
• 1:53:52
  be a powerless man of God. I research the subject of power
• 1:53:57
  with my passion and with my spirit.
• 1:53:59
  Let me tell you with every sense of humility, there are few books
• 1:54:02
  about power written by serious people that have not read this
• 1:54:07
  ministry of power. I followed the thing with grace
• 1:54:15
  and every devil in hell there are things that when it rest
• 1:54:19
  upon you, every devil in hell will know that there are things
• 1:54:23
  you have found. Are we together?
• 1:54:28
  I made-up my mind that nobody would sit under an atmosphere
• 1:54:31
  like this, that you are listening to me and all I will
• 1:54:35
  give you is just a lecture, except your faith is not willing
• 1:54:37
  to receive. Now when you sit down, it's like
• 1:54:41
  you are connecting electricity from front to the back and
• 1:54:45
  something from the words your spirit, you know you are
• 1:54:49
  receiving that impact is beyond an information.
• 1:54:52
  This is why you you will think you are not understanding what
• 1:54:55
  is entering your spirit. I will ask you this question one
• 1:54:58
  year later. You will still quote it because
• 1:55:00
  it entered your spirit is beyond the lecture.
• 1:55:04
  This one comes with power. Hallelujah.
• 1:55:10
  Is someone hearing what I'm saying now?
• 1:55:11
  Yes, I found out that the secret to effective ministry in
• 1:55:17
  addition to godliness, in addition to integrity is to
• 1:55:21
  truly carry genuine power that solves the problems of people.
• 1:55:27
  It doesn't matter how sincere you are, if that power compound.
• 1:55:31
  You can do active power, stage manage power, or assume power.
• 1:55:36
  You can assume you are powerful. When you see me stand and I say
• 1:55:46
  things like, oh, there are three people here, I hope you know
• 1:55:48
  that those things are not acting.
• 1:55:50
  I respect God, but I respect myself too.
• 1:55:54
  Are we together now? I will not come and embarrass
• 1:55:56
  myself in the presence of people and just, you know, the risk it
• 1:55:59
  takes, you try it. It's not dull babies that are
• 1:56:04
  flying up and down. These human beings who came to
• 1:56:07
  church respected themselves. My own is to train my
• 1:56:16
  discernment that as is coming from heaven, once it lands, it's
• 1:56:21
  like, it's like, it's like a receptor that is so sharp, As
• 1:56:25
  soon as it arrives, I'm ready to declare it.
• 1:56:28
  That's why you see what you see. It's not like God just isolated
• 1:56:31
  somebody and decided, no, no, discernment is a quality that
• 1:56:37
  can be trained. You can train your spirit to
• 1:56:40
  pick signals with such precision that what God is saying in a
• 1:56:45
  moment, that's why it looks like as you are saying, it is just
• 1:56:47
  happening, is the level of the development of discernment.
• 1:56:54
  Hallelujah. Are we together now?
• 1:56:56
  I'm saying this because I want to pray over you today.
• 1:57:00
  One of the graces that I'm praying will rest on you is the
• 1:57:03
  power to now begin to make quality choices.
• 1:57:08
  Quality choices. Remember my teaching at the
• 1:57:10
  Miracle Service that rise up and walk is greater than silver and
• 1:57:15
  gold. You can have silver and gold,
• 1:57:18
  but the greater blessing is the ability to rise up and walk.
• 1:57:25
  To choose that my children will not beg again.
• 1:57:27
  To choose That my spiritual life will not go up and down again.
• 1:57:32
  I set before you life and death. I set before you blessing and
• 1:57:36
  cursing. I set before you a life of pain,
• 1:57:40
  a life of misery or a life of glory.
• 1:57:43
  I advise you choose life. Your choice will affect your
• 1:57:47
  seed. I saw certain patterns growing
• 1:57:52
  up around my territory. I saw certain certain patterns
• 1:57:56
  around people who had gone ahead of me.
• 1:57:59
  And I made-up my mind. I said I will fight a good fight
• 1:58:02
  of faith and end certain things now.
• 1:58:05
  Let them end in my lifetime, in my presence.
• 1:58:09
  If it means me being the living sacrifice, let me be it.
• 1:58:13
  But there are certain things that must end.
• 1:58:16
  That's why I said some of you are not yet angry enough.
• 1:58:19
  This sermon is supposed to provoke you.
• 1:58:21
  If you sit down and keep watching your life like that,
• 1:58:24
  what happened to your mother, who happened to you?
• 1:58:26
  I'm telling you, I'm not a prophet of doom, gentleman.
• 1:58:29
  If you sit down, you know what spirits have done with preachers
• 1:58:33
  in your area. If you just sit down carelessly
• 1:58:35
  like that, the same thing will happen to you.
• 1:58:39
  You must take a different approach.
• 1:58:42
  I will not be the man of God that will finish preaching that
• 1:58:45
  Once Upon a time I preached and demons attached me.
• 1:58:49
  Not today, not again, not forever.
• 1:58:59
  Let me speak to preachers for a moment.
• 1:59:01
  Gentlemen. Ladies, let me tell you, the end
• 1:59:05
  time army must be an army of power.
• 1:59:08
  Choose to invest in carrying genuine anointing.
• 1:59:11
  Hear me Choose to invest in carrying genuine power, talking
• 1:59:16
  grammar and stories. The world is tired of it, I
• 1:59:19
  assure you. Power to heal.
• 1:59:22
  Power to raise men, raise them from a don't heal.
• 1:59:27
  Power to declare over nations and shift the spiritual climate
• 1:59:31
  of nations. Don't stand before Pharaoh if
• 1:59:39
  you don't have power. You are confronting altars that
• 1:59:42
  are older than you. You are confronting altars that
• 1:59:45
  killed those who went ahead of you.
• 1:59:47
  Don't just stand and speak grammar.
• 1:59:52
  As for me, I've chosen Shamaka Pakatosyata.
• 2:00:01
  You ignore the Ministry of Power.
• 2:00:04
  Your life will be such a defeat. I tell you, the missing link for
• 2:00:09
  many people is that you have not made the choice.
• 2:00:13
  To press, you have not made the choice to pray, you have not
• 2:00:16
  made the choice to study. Hallelujah.
• 2:00:25
  I don't know why I'm speaking to preachers, but let me tell you
• 2:00:29
  the truth. The powerlessness of the average
• 2:00:33
  man of God. With all due respect, in this
• 2:00:35
  nation, if we do not work on it, we'll keep getting angry with
• 2:00:39
  ourselves, fighting ourselves out of jealousy and envy.
• 2:00:43
  That is not necessary. One thing thou lackest, most
• 2:00:47
  people lack power. You don't have power and say I
• 2:00:51
  have power. It is nonsense.
• 2:00:53
  It speaks, Hallelujah, speaks the power that is greater than
• 2:01:07
  the cost holding your family. You have not chosen to come out
• 2:01:10
  of it. That's why, oh Apostle, I've
• 2:01:12
  been suffering from bed wetting. Oh, help me now.
• 2:01:15
  I can tell you, my dear brother, my dear sister, you are not
• 2:01:18
  ready to come out of it. That is why there is something
• 2:01:21
  about the human spirit when he gets angry.
• 2:01:24
  There is something about men when they are tired of their
• 2:01:27
  current situation. Yes, Sir.
• 2:01:29
  The prodigal son got angry and said yes.
• 2:01:33
  How many hired servant as my father and I'm here feeding with
• 2:01:37
  the swine. Do you believe what you are
• 2:01:43
  hearing? Choose life.
• 2:01:47
  I have chosen by myself that nothing is going to cut short my
• 2:01:52
  life before his time. Is a choice is a choice is a
• 2:01:57
  choice. It's only when we get to heaven
• 2:02:00
  you will know how many shrines and how many habalis Call My
• 2:02:03
  Name day and night. Let this man die.
• 2:02:06
  You are joking. We are here for a very long
• 2:02:08
  time. I said before you life and
• 2:02:12
  death, you believe what I'm saying?
• 2:02:15
  Don't keep quiet. Keeping quiet is a choice to
• 2:02:18
  remain a failure. I've seen the spirit of death.
• 2:02:31
  I've seen the people that the devil wanted to just take like
• 2:02:34
  that speak. Listen, I learned this from Papa
• 2:02:38
  Copeland, right from when this man was young, he would speak
• 2:02:43
  over the organs in his body and people were laughing at him.
• 2:02:47
  Oh, a preacher does not carry fire.
• 2:02:49
  And this many of them have died and gone.
• 2:02:51
  This man in his 80s is still standing, still speaking to the
• 2:02:55
  parts of his body. Every part of my body God gave
• 2:02:59
  me must hear me. Yes, Sir, you must hear me.
• 2:03:02
  If you are not obeying me, you are obeying someone else's
• 2:03:05
  instruction. I need to know who that person
• 2:03:07
  is. Colonia will not go down.
• 2:03:12
  No, there is no going down. No, there is a covenant backed
• 2:03:16
  up by the jealousy of Jehovah. There is nothing Satan can do
• 2:03:20
  about it. I want you to get angry tonight
• 2:03:30
  because I want you to see the areas of darkness in your life.
• 2:03:34
  You are allowing the devil destroy people in your life.
• 2:03:38
  There are people every year. Somebody must die every year.
• 2:03:42
  Can I tell you you are You are just mechanically aware you are
• 2:03:46
  a priest. It has not entered you by
• 2:03:48
  revelation. The day the revelation of your
• 2:03:51
  priesthood enters you, ladies and gentlemen, you will stand up
• 2:03:54
  with power and shake that altar and say the last person that
• 2:03:59
  died in this family will be the last person.
• 2:04:02
  And end comes with. Though I walk through the valley
• 2:04:19
  of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for thou art with me.
• 2:04:24
  Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me, they comfort me,
• 2:04:32
  they comfort me. Choose life, Choose life means
• 2:04:37
  choose health. Choose life means choose glory.
• 2:04:42
  Choose life means choose excellence.
• 2:04:45
  Choose life means choose power, the ability to produce results.
• 2:04:51
  Choose life means choose speed. Choose life means choose ever
• 2:04:56
  increasing glory. Choose life means choose
• 2:05:01
  greatness. Choose life means choose Jesus.
• 2:05:09
  Hallelujah, Please hear me, hear me, please hear me, hear me.
• 2:05:16
  I sense in my spirit. In the next, I wanted to run
• 2:05:18
  through a list about the various choices.
• 2:05:22
  I don't know if I will do that or not, but I just sense the
• 2:05:24
  spirit of prayer. Hear me, ladies and gentlemen,
• 2:05:28
  tonight is the night that God has brought us to be angry at
• 2:05:32
  certain things that have been happening in our lives.
• 2:05:35
  You are a man of God here. Don't watch things go wrong in
• 2:05:38
  your ministry. You can make up your mind.
• 2:05:41
  You are a parent here. You are watching your child
• 2:05:43
  become maybe an alcoholic or something and you are saying
• 2:05:46
  there's nothing I cannot do. You can choose.
• 2:05:49
  It is the power God gave man. It is the power God gave man.
• 2:05:53
  It is the power God gave man. He respects that power himself.
• 2:06:09
  It is the power God gave man. Hallelujah.
• 2:06:15
  Listen, let me tell you this. Please listen to me.
• 2:06:18
  Just listen. Listen.
• 2:06:21
  When I took our time to study what an Apostolic and a
• 2:06:25
  prophetic ministry, the implication of having an
• 2:06:29
  Apostolic and a prophetic ministry, I remember reading
• 2:06:33
  several books on the Apostolic ministry.
• 2:06:36
  When I saw the spiritual demands, the kind of weight and
• 2:06:40
  energy you must carry in the spirit to run a genuine
• 2:06:45
  Apostolic and prophetic ministry, I knew that I was
• 2:06:48
  playing games. I was joking at that level of
• 2:06:51
  spirituality. Now then the relational demands,
• 2:06:58
  the kind of influence you must command to be able to do
• 2:07:02
  ministry at that level effectively, then the financial
• 2:07:06
  demand is the one that will even scare you.
• 2:07:11
  Hallelujah. Because the pioneering
• 2:07:13
  anointing, it is part of the equipment of the Apostolic
• 2:07:17
  ministry. You will do things that have
• 2:07:19
  never been done before, not in the way they have been done
• 2:07:22
  before. And doing new things carry a
• 2:07:25
  cost because you are setting the pace.
• 2:07:28
  Other people will model it, and it will reduce the cost when
• 2:07:31
  others follow. But pioneering is expensive.
• 2:07:38
  Hallelujah. I went to God in prayer.
• 2:07:40
  I said, Lord, I want to do ministry with integrity.
• 2:07:44
  This finance thing has tied people down.
• 2:07:46
  I don't want this thing to be, I don't want to lose sleep because
• 2:07:50
  of money issues. And that's when I took out time.
• 2:07:56
  God showed me the power of decisions that you can change
• 2:08:00
  your life if you are serious. And I said Lord, I'm serious.
• 2:08:04
  So, and I went to search from Scripture what is the secret of
• 2:08:07
  this thing. When I found it, I knew and
• 2:08:14
  today by the grace of God, we're able to do things for this
• 2:08:17
  ministry and across nations by the grace of God and by the help
• 2:08:22
  of God, it has helped to protect integrity while we serve.
• 2:08:29
  Let me run through. I will not going to give you
• 2:08:33
  time to dictate. Please sit down.
• 2:08:35
  I will not give you time to write, I will just run through
• 2:08:39
  it, get the teaching because I want us to pray 7/1 time.
• 2:08:46
  When I taught you here, I think I gave you 546, but I want to
• 2:08:49
  list for you 7 destiny defining decisions that you must make.
• 2:08:55
  Then we pray and wrap up 7 destiny defining decisions
• 2:09:01
  number one very quickly. What is the first decision that
• 2:09:04
  every man must make? The decision to know the Lord
• 2:09:10
  and to serve Him all the days of your life.
• 2:09:12
  Please write it. This is the first and the
• 2:09:15
  greatest decision that every man must make.
• 2:09:19
  The decision to know the Lord and to serve Him all the days of
• 2:09:24
  your life. Matthew 2237.
• 2:09:28
  The decision to serve the Lord, and to know the Lord and to
• 2:09:35
  serve him all the days of your life.
• 2:09:38
  That you will love the Lord your God with all your heart.
• 2:09:41
  And I'm so honored to have our royal fathers come and declare
• 2:09:45
  this not just for themselves, but for the land #2.
• 2:09:51
  The second decision is the decision to contend for a
• 2:09:56
  superior belief. The decision to contend for a
• 2:10:02
  superior belief system. This is very important.
• 2:10:07
  Proverbs 23 seven For as he think it, give it to us, please.
• 2:10:12
  As he think it in his heart or interchange for mind, so is he.
• 2:10:17
  The decision to come out of old belief systems, limiting belief
• 2:10:22
  systems, Satanic belief systems, mediocre belief systems #3 what
• 2:10:30
  is the third decision? Destiny defining decision that
• 2:10:34
  we must make. The decision to live a life of
• 2:10:37
  purpose and meaning. Please write it down.
• 2:10:40
  The decision to live a life of purpose and meaning.
• 2:10:46
  The decision to live a life of purpose and meaning.
• 2:10:49
  Hebrews 10/7. Lo, I come in the volume of the
• 2:10:53
  book. It is written of me to do your
• 2:10:56
  will, O God, a decision to live a life of purpose and meaning.
• 2:11:01
  This is to everyone, but particularly let me challenge
• 2:11:04
  the gentleman. It is wasteful to just exist.
• 2:11:08
  You give value to your life when you connect it to purpose.
• 2:11:12
  Beauty without purpose is useless.
• 2:11:14
  Intelligence without purpose is useless.
• 2:11:17
  It is purpose that gives value to anything you have.
• 2:11:21
  That means whatever God has given you in itself cannot be a
• 2:11:25
  blessing until you connect it to purpose.
• 2:11:29
  Are we learning #4 the decision to contend for health and
• 2:11:36
  longevity? The decision not just to be
• 2:11:41
  physically fit. Contend for health and
• 2:11:45
  longevity. Please write it down.
• 2:11:48
  It is a project that you must make.
• 2:11:50
  I will live strong and I will live long.
• 2:11:53
  Say that after me, I will live strong.
• 2:11:57
  Prophesied again one more time, I will live strong and I will
• 2:12:03
  live long. Yes, Sir, you don't want to live
• 2:12:07
  long being weak. There are people who are in the
• 2:12:11
  hospital, with all due respect, they will not die and they will
• 2:12:14
  not be strong. They become a liability to both
• 2:12:17
  themselves and everybody around. The value of longevity is that
• 2:12:21
  there is strength. If there is no strength,
• 2:12:24
  contending for longevity is a waste.
• 2:12:29
  Are we together now? There are young people are
• 2:12:32
  304025. They are so I mean they are so
• 2:12:36
  wrinkled they almost bend over save their grandfathers.
• 2:12:40
  You ask them how old you are, are you?
• 2:12:42
  And they say 27 and you say I was going to mistaken you for
• 2:12:46
  55. Come on now.
• 2:12:48
  In the name of Jesus, I rebuke weakness from your body, agility
• 2:12:54
  and strength, and power. Without agility and strength,
• 2:12:58
  you cannot do the work of the Kingdom.
• 2:13:00
  You will collapse. Content for health, but content
• 2:13:05
  for longevity. It takes good eating, exercise,
• 2:13:10
  training your body and your mind a correct state of mental health
• 2:13:15
  to live healthy for then it takes speaking the word of God
• 2:13:20
  and making prophetic declarations over your destiny.
• 2:13:24
  To live long. You need both content for health
• 2:13:28
  and content for long life. Are we together?
• 2:13:33
  As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
• 2:13:36
  I choose life in the name of Jesus.
• 2:13:39
  No arrow that flies by day. No noisome pestilence that
• 2:13:43
  wasting in noon, day, or wherever will hurt me.
• 2:13:47
  No, I am immune by the power of the Holy Spirit.
• 2:13:51
  No enchantment and no divination shall prevail over my body.
• 2:13:55
  My spirit is comfortable living in this body.
• 2:13:58
  My organs are functioning maximally by the power that
• 2:14:02
  raised Christ from the dead in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:14:06
  Don't believe that the moment you get into a certain age,
• 2:14:10
  certain sicknesses come with it. Now, I respect doctors.
• 2:14:13
  We have lots of doctors here. But you can define your reality
• 2:14:17
  by choosing in the name of Jesus.
• 2:14:22
  At 60, my kidney, my liver, my health, my thinking, everything
• 2:14:28
  is intact by the power of the Holy Spirit.
• 2:14:31
  Is someone agreeing on that and you find yourself sick?
• 2:14:36
  Don't worry, even while you're at the hospital taking treatment
• 2:14:40
  one your tomorrow, that just because I'm in the hospital does
• 2:14:44
  not mean I'm weak. I'm only responsible.
• 2:14:46
  It's not weakness, it's responsibility.
• 2:14:49
  So while you are going through the surgery, while you are going
• 2:14:51
  through the treatment, after everything, don't feel ashamed
• 2:14:54
  speaking and let the devil tell you if you were that powerful,
• 2:14:57
  why were you? Why did they perform the surgery
• 2:14:59
  on you? The devil is a liar.
• 2:15:01
  You speak it while you declare strength in the name of Jesus,
• 2:15:06
  vitality, energy. The Bible says he keep back his
• 2:15:09
  bones and none is missing. Is the covenant of peace Shalom?
• 2:15:14
  Nothing missing, nothing broken. As a preacher you declare I will
• 2:15:20
  never collapse on stage because I'm I'm completely walked out
• 2:15:25
  and know if you are if you are tired, you rest not die.
• 2:15:30
  Are we together? The decision to contend for
• 2:15:42
  health and longevity #5 the decision to be financially or
• 2:15:51
  economically empowered. It is a very major decision.
• 2:15:55
  Referred to my teaching last week.
• 2:15:58
  I shall not want. Please get the teaching is
• 2:16:00
  online and listen to it very carefully.
• 2:16:03
  It is our heritage in Christ to not be in want no matter what.
• 2:16:08
  Where mana comes. Lack and want does not glorify
• 2:16:13
  God. Period.
• 2:16:15
  Settle that once and for all and get it out of the way.
• 2:16:19
  Lack and once does not glorify God.
• 2:16:21
  You can glorify God in the midst of lack and want, but lack and
• 2:16:26
  want is not God's design for you.
• 2:16:29
  Just like a person can survive with only one kidney.
• 2:16:34
  Am I right on that? But that is not God's ultimate.
• 2:16:38
  But if that is the case, the doctors can manage the person to
• 2:16:41
  have just one kidney. But that is not God's best.
• 2:16:43
  John 1010 I am come the be part that ye may have life, and that
• 2:16:49
  He may have it more abundantly. Choose life.
• 2:16:56
  The decision to be financially empowered.
• 2:17:00
  I don't want to go ahead of myself and I don't want to make
• 2:17:03
  recaps of last week. I've already spoken extensively
• 2:17:05
  on that. But my dear people, please
• 2:17:08
  listen to this man who loves you sincerely.
• 2:17:10
  Make a decision on that God that I will not be poor.
• 2:17:18
  Anybody who tries to think you otherwise must be ready to
• 2:17:23
  defend you in the midst of your pain and the pain of your
• 2:17:26
  children. There are many things we're able
• 2:17:29
  to do today. Some of the things, the projects
• 2:17:32
  that we want to do for people. Some of these people will never
• 2:17:35
  know Jesus until they have the privilege to go to a good
• 2:17:39
  school. It is expensive to preach the
• 2:17:41
  gospel. I can tell you.
• 2:17:44
  It is expensive to preach Jesus with integrity.
• 2:17:47
  You know how much 1 borehole is? Calculate that times 50.
• 2:17:52
  What then is your definition of love if you cannot reach people?
• 2:17:56
  What Dennis ministry. If one borehole is a 1.5 and you
• 2:18:03
  do 50, you went to school. Calculate that.
• 2:18:08
  That is minus whatever it is that comes.
• 2:18:11
  That is the price it takes to sell Jesus to a dying world.
• 2:18:16
  That is the price it takes to let men see Jesus.
• 2:18:20
  How about widows that are fed? How about orphans that would
• 2:18:24
  have died? I remember, I think two years
• 2:18:27
  ago or so, our medical team went to do an outreach in one of the
• 2:18:30
  IDP camps and when they got to that IDP camp, they found a
• 2:18:35
  young child that was almost left for dead.
• 2:18:38
  Painfully, the child eventually died.
• 2:18:43
  I remember some weeks ago there was a woman who came with a
• 2:18:46
  child was a sickler. Join the queue here.
• 2:18:49
  I later found out that the child died.
• 2:18:51
  It was so painful. As she held that child, you
• 2:18:53
  could see a product of pain, malnourishment.
• 2:18:57
  You know that she was a sincere mother, but she was
• 2:19:00
  incapacitated. It takes wickedness to sell
• 2:19:03
  poverty. Did you hear what I said?
• 2:19:10
  It takes wickedness to sell poverty.
• 2:19:21
  By God's grace, and without sounding arrogant, if it is for
• 2:19:24
  your own personal food, you don't need much to eat.
• 2:19:28
  But my goodness, you need so much.
• 2:19:34
  There's no need telling you the things that are done on a daily
• 2:19:38
  basis for Jesus. They require finances.
• 2:19:42
  Integrity requires finances in many regards.
• 2:19:48
  Preaching sincerely and not manipulating people requires
• 2:19:52
  economic empowerment in many regards.
• 2:19:56
  Projects that bring the name of Jesus.
• 2:20:00
  Not to brag, but sometimes it's good to say some of these
• 2:20:02
  things. The inmates in the Zarya prison,
• 2:20:06
  not too long ago, we bought them a big generator.
• 2:20:10
  Every quarter or so. We send bags of rice,
• 2:20:14
  stationaries, mattresses. The same was done I think early
• 2:20:18
  this year at the Kuje prison. These things cost millions and
• 2:20:23
  millions of naira. I don't want to tell you how
• 2:20:26
  much it cost to do the Manchester conference that had
• 2:20:31
  thousands of people coming to Jesus.
• 2:20:34
  If soul winning is not ministry, I don't know what else it is.
• 2:20:38
  No matter what you claim ministry is, if souls are not
• 2:20:42
  one, you are joking. Are we together?
• 2:20:47
  I can tell you that I've told you here what it takes to run
• 2:20:51
  this service that you are enjoying right now.
• 2:20:54
  It is a miracle. Only God can strengthen men to
• 2:20:57
  be able to do that. Hallelujah there is all not.
• 2:21:04
  Not to insult the giving of God's people, but let me tell
• 2:21:06
  you sincerely, there is only so much tights and offerings can
• 2:21:10
  do. Believe me.
• 2:21:12
  Believe me, you know I'm not lying.
• 2:21:16
  There are students now going back to school.
• 2:21:18
  By the privilege of God's grace, I've had the honor of taking
• 2:21:23
  care of over 600 children and families.
• 2:21:26
  I've done this for many years. I only continue to add with joy.
• 2:21:30
  It takes a lot of resources to do that, let me tell you.
• 2:21:34
  Housing, schooling, everything. My apologies if we sound, I just
• 2:21:40
  want to give you a superior orientation.
• 2:21:44
  When you don't know what to do with money, you don't need it.
• 2:21:47
  God will not even give you for your safety.
• 2:21:50
  But when you know what to do with it, you can preach Jesus
• 2:21:53
  with financial resources and be a blessing to people day and
• 2:21:58
  night. My phone is full of the Christ
• 2:22:01
  and the tears of people. Please do this.
• 2:22:04
  I just announced to you some of the things by the privilege of
• 2:22:06
  God's grace, the educational phone, just a test run of it
• 2:22:11
  alone was 10 million naira and it only keeps growing.
• 2:22:15
  That is the price it takes to help these children.
• 2:22:18
  You know, His Royal Highness, we're having a meeting and he
• 2:22:20
  was telling me and I was so humbled.
• 2:22:23
  Some children who today have finished school who if not for
• 2:22:26
  that scholarship would never have had the opportunity to go
• 2:22:29
  to school. What then is our definition of
• 2:22:31
  impact? Hallelujah, the bags and bags
• 2:22:38
  were going to be in Zaria this week.
• 2:22:40
  Now the concert alone, do you know how much the bill for the
• 2:22:43
  medical? I mean, imagine gathering
• 2:22:46
  people. I think they're projecting maybe
• 2:22:48
  between 600 to 1200 people free medical services.
• 2:22:53
  You go and try to get a drug for for malaria and find out how
• 2:22:57
  much it is. And then there are bags and bags
• 2:23:02
  of how we do it for both Christians and Muslims.
• 2:23:05
  I love Christians, I love Muslims, I love everybody in
• 2:23:07
  between. We are called to preach the
• 2:23:09
  message of love, but that is the price it takes.
• 2:23:15
  Imagine me coming to meet your child who says on scholarship
• 2:23:19
  and I say sorry, something has happened.
• 2:23:21
  This family from today we cannot pay your rent.
• 2:23:24
  Know where you are going. You can imagine there are many
• 2:23:28
  people who are converts who by the grace of God, we are taking
• 2:23:31
  care of today. That is the price it takes to
• 2:23:34
  keep them standing for Jesus. Sometimes we say these things so
• 2:23:39
  that we do not. You know, I have a weakness
• 2:23:42
  between trying to brag and share testimonies.
• 2:23:45
  It's not something that I like doing.
• 2:23:46
  But occasionally if we don't say these things, people just think
• 2:23:50
  we're talking about. I mean, what I mean, how many
• 2:23:52
  things? This is all of me.
• 2:23:54
  How much money do you need to maintain a person like this?
• 2:23:59
  But for Jesus reject poverty. O in the name of Jesus, let it
• 2:24:05
  take away shame from your life and don't get beguiled by
• 2:24:08
  ignorant people. When prosperity has purpose, it
• 2:24:12
  is a powerful weapon in the hand of people.
• 2:24:17
  Hallelujah, contend, make a decision under God.
• 2:24:23
  A hustlers approach, I have told you, is a defeated person's
• 2:24:27
  approach. All this.
• 2:24:28
  I want to make money, so I'll buy a Jeep.
• 2:24:30
  So I'll enter. No, no, no, no, no.
• 2:24:31
  That means you don't know God and you don't understand this
• 2:24:34
  program. How many clothes can you wear in
• 2:24:36
  a year? How many plates of food can you
• 2:24:39
  eat? No, the bigger cause is to be
• 2:24:44
  able to send resources for the sake of Jesus.
• 2:24:47
  I have seen soul saved as I stood.
• 2:24:50
  I've stood by the grace of God on many crusade grounds and
• 2:24:54
  every time I see souls come to Jesus.
• 2:24:57
  I had a very interesting experience in Ghana while I was
• 2:25:01
  doing an altar call. There was this very little boy,
• 2:25:03
  lovely little boy. This boy was kneeling down and
• 2:25:07
  he was really, you know, just sobbing and praying.
• 2:25:10
  I had to call him up and held him and prayed for him.
• 2:25:12
  I mean, I just my heart just welled up with compassion.
• 2:25:16
  I was almost tempted to say, listen, let me put this boy on
• 2:25:18
  scholarship till he finishes quiet.
• 2:25:20
  Just say, well, the fruit of the Spirit is Lovejoy, peace.
• 2:25:23
  Maybe another time. What if that child tells you
• 2:25:27
  he's an orphan who is just looking for Jesus sincerely and
• 2:25:31
  then you tell him, I beat you. Good speed.
• 2:25:33
  Go and read the warning James gave us.
• 2:25:35
  Show me your faith by your walks.
• 2:25:40
  If we claim we love Jesus, we must show it and resources help
• 2:25:45
  you to show that you love Jesus. I have vowed on that God and I
• 2:25:50
  say covenant to you, my dear people, I will never, may I not
• 2:25:54
  live to see that day that I will manipulate you financially
• 2:25:58
  simply because we're trying to put something in our pocket.
• 2:26:01
  No, there are some of us who fear God.
• 2:26:05
  Are we together? But you see, I have told you I
• 2:26:08
  am only able to say things like this because, number one, I love
• 2:26:11
  Jesus. What I will always say #2 is
• 2:26:14
  because there is food on my table.
• 2:26:16
  Am I right on that? When there is food on my table,
• 2:26:20
  He can give me the confidence to remain and teach the truth that
• 2:26:24
  I ought to teach. If there is no food on your
• 2:26:26
  table, you will listen to me, but you will get up and go and
• 2:26:29
  do some things you should not do.
• 2:26:33
  There is a woman, probably she's following right now, wonderful
• 2:26:36
  woman from one of the northern States and you know, I've never
• 2:26:39
  even seen her. There was a tragic situation in
• 2:26:42
  her life. I don't want to go into details,
• 2:26:44
  compromises that happened because of finances for her and
• 2:26:48
  her family. But today this woman, by the
• 2:26:50
  grace of God and the privilege of His mercy, has been
• 2:26:53
  rehabilitated out of that lifestyle, living a life of
• 2:26:57
  dignity. She has a business she's running
• 2:26:59
  now, loving the Lord with all her heart.
• 2:27:03
  If you don't know what to do with money, sit down and learn
• 2:27:07
  from those who know what to do with it.
• 2:27:11
  Every time you don't have understanding, sit down and
• 2:27:16
  learn from those who know. Are we together?
• 2:27:21
  Yes, I'm glad I made that decision.
• 2:27:26
  It is a decision I will continue to make for myself and for
• 2:27:30
  Koinonia, so that we can do so much for His Majesty.
• 2:27:33
  For as long as I'm alive. Children will go to school for
• 2:27:37
  as long as I'm alive. We'll do our best to see that
• 2:27:40
  widows and orphans continue to smile.
• 2:27:43
  For as long as I'm alive. I will help people financially.
• 2:27:47
  I'm not ashamed to say it. Many preachers will be afraid.
• 2:27:50
  Be careful. I'm not careful.
• 2:27:52
  I will say it for as long as I am alive.
• 2:27:55
  I will not do everything, but I will do my best.
• 2:28:00
  Hallelujah, I will do my best. The ones we can help will help.
• 2:28:05
  The ones we can cry with who will cry with.
• 2:28:07
  The ones we can pray with will pray with, the one who we can
• 2:28:11
  stop from living a dirty life to be able to follow a life of
• 2:28:15
  meaning and know Jesus who will do our best.
• 2:28:18
  Where we are limited, we ask the Lord to show us mercy and raise
• 2:28:22
  others who have our kind of orientation.
• 2:28:24
  But to chicken out just because of the fear of prosperity
• 2:28:27
  message is nonsense. Not Joshua Selva.
• 2:28:30
  It's a covenant I have made. I know how money can demonstrate
• 2:28:34
  love and we intend to use that weapon and show nations the love
• 2:28:38
  of Jesus. If you're in agreement, say
• 2:28:40
  Amen. Try becoming rich with
• 2:28:45
  understanding and see how better your life becomes.
• 2:28:49
  Are we together? You will serve the Lord.
• 2:28:52
  You will end many quarrels in your family that have no roots.
• 2:28:56
  You will end many things. You will live in peace.
• 2:28:59
  Do you know that remaining hell detects finances because it
• 2:29:03
  demands eating well? That they tell you don't eat
• 2:29:06
  this, don't eat that. Is it not somebody who has money
• 2:29:09
  that can obey that medical advice?
• 2:29:14
  Take supplements, do this, don't eat rice, don't eat cabbage.
• 2:29:18
  What else will you eat? A simple surgery that was going
• 2:29:27
  to be performed on one of our ladies.
• 2:29:29
  I think that that entire procedure because that lady's
• 2:29:33
  life was at stake. It will require about 600,000
• 2:29:37
  for that to happen. Probably that Lady would have
• 2:29:39
  been dead by now. But thank God for the ministry
• 2:29:42
  of resources with understanding that Lady is alive, unhealthy
• 2:29:46
  and her family can see how preach Jesus today.
• 2:29:48
  Let me give you the last one. Koinonia is quiet.
• 2:29:55
  I presume you are thinking number six.
• 2:30:00
  I promise. 7 the decision to build strategic destiny
• 2:30:06
  relationships. I wouldn't say much there.
• 2:30:09
  I've said so much about relationships.
• 2:30:12
  The decision to build strategic destiny relationships.
• 2:30:19
  You must have one friend in your life.
• 2:30:21
  If you don't have it when we're praying, pray because something
• 2:30:25
  is wrong. If you have many friends, you
• 2:30:27
  are in trouble. It's not a sign that you are
• 2:30:29
  popular. It's a sign that you are
• 2:30:31
  careless. Did you hear that?
• 2:30:34
  Because your values should naturally edit many people out
• 2:30:37
  of your life. If you think you are a celebrity
• 2:30:40
  and you have everybody just likes me, it's a sign you are a
• 2:30:43
  city without walls. You must have people of values
• 2:30:47
  and people of standards. But you need friends.
• 2:30:51
  You need friends. Many of us don't have friends.
• 2:30:55
  Hallelujah. Many of us don't have friends.
• 2:30:58
  I think I was given a charge at the wedding of our people
• 2:31:02
  yesterday and one of the things I told them is that marriage was
• 2:31:05
  not designed to solve all your emotional problems.
• 2:31:09
  That is a big mistake. There are many people punishing
• 2:31:12
  marriage today because they expect to get all their
• 2:31:15
  emotional comfort from marriage. That is not the design.
• 2:31:19
  There are dimensions of relational and emotional comfort
• 2:31:23
  that only comes from your relationship with Jesus.
• 2:31:27
  There are dimensions of emotional and relational
• 2:31:29
  comforts that only come when you have godly strategic
• 2:31:34
  relationships. There are dimensions of
• 2:31:37
  emotional and relational comfort that comes when you have a
• 2:31:40
  spouse. There as those that come when
• 2:31:43
  you have children. They were all allocated their
• 2:31:45
  space. Hallelujah.
• 2:31:49
  If there is a relational void in you, check whether you have a
• 2:31:53
  relationship with Jesus. Then next to that, check if you
• 2:31:57
  have quality people in your life.
• 2:32:00
  I'm praying for you. May you never lack an ear to
• 2:32:03
  hear when you are in trouble, especially if you are a man of
• 2:32:09
  God. Loneliness has killed many
• 2:32:11
  people because they do not have anybody they can confide in.
• 2:32:15
  They are afraid of everybody around them because they do not
• 2:32:18
  even know who to trust. Again, this is one of the
• 2:32:21
  problem of great people. They have gone through enough
• 2:32:24
  wounds and betrayal. They just believe that
• 2:32:26
  everybody's out to destroy them. But it is not true.
• 2:32:30
  There are still honest people. There are still godly people.
• 2:32:33
  There are still good people. There are still friends that
• 2:32:36
  stick closer than brothers. May you be 1 and then may you
• 2:32:42
  find one final decision #7 destiny defining decisions #7
• 2:32:51
  the decision to be a blessing. Genesis 12 Three the decision to
• 2:32:59
  be a blessing. You will think that this is the
• 2:33:03
  same as finding purpose. They are similar, but this is
• 2:33:07
  different. You can fulfill your assignment
• 2:33:11
  and truly not be a blessing. You can excel in Korea and yet
• 2:33:17
  not be a blessing. Do you know what it means to be
• 2:33:19
  a blessing? When nations arise and thank God
• 2:33:23
  for your life. When nations arise and say thank
• 2:33:26
  God you are alive. When nations arise and say,
• 2:33:30
  imagine what would have been if you were not there.
• 2:33:32
  That is what it means to be a blessing.
• 2:33:35
  To be a blessing does not mean to be popular.
• 2:33:37
  You can be popular and not impactful.
• 2:33:40
  I learned that from Doctor Miles Monroe.
• 2:33:42
  There are many people who are pursuing fame and popularity.
• 2:33:47
  Popularity does not mean influence.
• 2:33:51
  Popularity does not mean impact. You can be very popular, known
• 2:33:57
  across the globe, but not impactful.
• 2:34:01
  Anna the Prophetess was not popular what she was impactful.
• 2:34:06
  Jesus was both popular and impactful.
• 2:34:10
  I choose impact 1000 times to fame and popularity.
• 2:34:15
  The burden of being famous is something that if you know you
• 2:34:18
  will not be in a hurry to receive it.
• 2:34:21
  Hallelujah. The dynamics, the pressure that
• 2:34:25
  comes with this in court celebrity lifestyle that people
• 2:34:28
  die to have. Choose impact that somebody is
• 2:34:32
  smiling today because you are alive.
• 2:34:34
  Someone is eating today because you are alive.
• 2:34:37
  Someone is going to school because you are alive.
• 2:34:39
  Hallelujah. Someone will be saved this night
• 2:34:42
  now because there is going on here.
• 2:34:45
  A family will be happy. Somebody will act upon what you
• 2:34:48
  are hearing now. Only God knows how far what I'm
• 2:34:52
  saying will get to and whose life is being changed.
• 2:34:55
  Now, do you know what it means to get up in the morning knowing
• 2:35:00
  that you are going to be a blessing?
• 2:35:02
  You get up in the morning knowing that one sick body will
• 2:35:04
  be healed because you are awake. You get up in the morning
• 2:35:07
  knowing that one confused person will find direction of the many
• 2:35:11
  things that happen. When people send me text
• 2:35:14
  messages, I tell you sometimes people say thank you and all of
• 2:35:17
  that. But when I see testimonies of
• 2:35:20
  transformation, Apostle, I was like this before.
• 2:35:23
  I listen to one of your message. Look at what has happened to me
• 2:35:26
  now. Sometimes in my silence, tears
• 2:35:29
  just begin to come to my eyes and I say, Father, thank you for
• 2:35:32
  keeping me alive. It is because of Your mercy and
• 2:35:35
  Your grace that someone's life is being changed today.
• 2:35:39
  Living a wasted life that does not bless people.
• 2:35:43
  Living a wasted life that is centered on self myself make
• 2:35:48
  money ends meet my reputation. At the end of your life you will
• 2:35:53
  find out that you did not do well with such a life. 2
• 2:35:57
  teachings that will help you one what seekers down in fact. 3 Now
• 2:36:03
  lessons from an over coma, you would want to get that teaching
• 2:36:07
  to listen to it again and again. The final one being the law of
• 2:36:10
  seasons. Listen to these teachings very
• 2:36:12
  well and they will open your eyes.
• 2:36:14
  I have studied the science of achievement.
• 2:36:17
  I have studied the art of fulfillment.
• 2:36:19
  The only gift you can give yourself is not money, it is
• 2:36:23
  fulfillment, the satisfaction that is derived from knowing
• 2:36:27
  that you have lived your life effectively, serving the
• 2:36:31
  purposes of the Kingdom and being a blessing to humanity.
• 2:36:35
  If Christ tariffs, no matter how long we live, someday this man
• 2:36:39
  you see will have to join the cloud of witnesses too.
• 2:36:43
  You see that now, when all is said and done, the truth about
• 2:36:46
  it is that no matter how much you have in your bank account,
• 2:36:49
  no matter how many certificates you gather, no matter how many
• 2:36:53
  sermons you have preached, all those things will count less.
• 2:36:56
  The most important thing will be the lives you have changed.
• 2:36:58
  Today, TL Osborne has joined the cloud of witnesses.
• 2:37:02
  Reinhard Bonke joined the cloud of witnesses.
• 2:37:05
  Hallelujah. Or our robots joined the cloud
• 2:37:08
  of witnesses. Pat Robinson joined the cloud of
• 2:37:11
  witnesses. All of these men.
• 2:37:13
  But today we are proof that they succeeded.
• 2:37:16
  We have become extensions of their legacy, promoting
• 2:37:21
  preserving this gospel that they lived and died for.
• 2:37:24
  This is what life is all about. Life is beyond eating and
• 2:37:27
  drinking. As important as I am, I drum the
• 2:37:31
  issue of finances. Life is beyond making money.
• 2:37:34
  Life is beyond going to school. Life is beyond having a wife and
• 2:37:38
  a husband. Life is beyond having children.
• 2:37:41
  Life is beyond building a house. The greatest way to live your
• 2:37:45
  life is to spend it glorifying Jesus and then being a blessing
• 2:37:51
  to someone. I want to ask you a question as
• 2:37:55
  we wrap up. Who can thank God because you
• 2:37:58
  are alive today? Who can thank God because you
• 2:38:01
  are awake today? Let's start with your immediate
• 2:38:03
  family. Can they say, Lord, thank you
• 2:38:05
  for giving us such a brother. Thank you for giving us such a
• 2:38:09
  sister. Thank you, Lord, for the kind of
• 2:38:11
  father I have. Thank you Lord for the kind of
• 2:38:14
  mother I have. I look at our royal fathers
• 2:38:18
  today and I can tell you as a man of God, I thank God for
• 2:38:21
  selecting these kinds of people to be our royal fathers.
• 2:38:25
  Only God knows if if it was otherwise a combination is set
• 2:38:31
  of people that can hand over a territory to Jesus is the kind
• 2:38:35
  of royal fathers I want. Hallelujah.
• 2:38:40
  Imagine if Koinonia did not come to Abuja.
• 2:38:43
  Let's keep all the miracles and everything.
• 2:38:45
  Let's just focus on souls as a case study.
• 2:38:49
  You know the 10s of thousands of souls that have been saved.
• 2:38:54
  I travel around and I'm telling you, sometimes when I'm tired
• 2:38:58
  and drained, when I remember that living my life, the
• 2:39:02
  greatest way to bless people is to introduce them to Jesus.
• 2:39:06
  When I see people come to Jesus, young and old, it does something
• 2:39:10
  to my spirit that is beyond being a preacher.
• 2:39:13
  That is truly what it means to be blessed.
• 2:39:16
  You give people food, if they die in sin, they go to hell.
• 2:39:20
  You heal people, they die in sin, they go to hell.
• 2:39:23
  You give people a house, they die in sin, they go to hell.
• 2:39:26
  You send them abroad, they die, they go to hell.
• 2:39:29
  But one who has Jesus has everything.
• 2:39:34
  Can I tell you this? You are here tonight not just to
• 2:39:40
  hear a man speak, but you are here because a blessing is being
• 2:39:43
  made out of you and the Bible said destroy it not for there is
• 2:39:47
  a blessing in it. You become indestructible
• 2:39:51
  because you have chosen to be a blessing.
• 2:39:54
  I live a very happy and fulfilled life for the singular
• 2:39:59
  reason, if not any other reason. The fact that souls continue to
• 2:40:03
  be saved through my life is enough motivation to remain
• 2:40:07
  alive. If I'm not able to preach any
• 2:40:09
  sermon, if I'm not able to sing any song, if I'm not able to
• 2:40:13
  travel and speak to kings and nobles, if I'm not able to
• 2:40:17
  inspire generation, if the only thing I can say is John 316 and
• 2:40:22
  it keeps building, bringing people to Jesus, that will be my
• 2:40:25
  one and only sermon till the day I see His face.
• 2:40:30
  Examine your life whilst you are listening to me.
• 2:40:33
  Living for yourself is a loser's way of living.
• 2:40:37
  You must spend yourself and be spent for A cause that is no
• 2:40:41
  blood than yourself, to pour your heart for Jesus and to love
• 2:40:46
  him sincerely. The day that I will see his
• 2:40:49
  face, I'm sure and I hope that you will say well done, thou
• 2:40:55
  good and faithful servant, and I hope I will see you too.
• 2:41:01
  Let me tell you, he would not just say well done to me alone,
• 2:41:04
  He would turn and say Oshas, where are you well done.
• 2:41:08
  He will turn and say protocol, where are you well done.
• 2:41:11
  He will turn and say medical people, where are you well done.
• 2:41:15
  He will turn and see the person who sent 10,000 naira quietly
• 2:41:19
  and say well done. He will turn and see someone who
• 2:41:22
  sent a text and say apostle, God bless you and say thank you for
• 2:41:25
  motivating my son. He will turn and see a mother
• 2:41:28
  who was an intercessor somewhere.
• 2:41:30
  He will say thank you. He will turn to my royal fathers
• 2:41:33
  and say thank you for insisting that the land serves Jesus.
• 2:41:41
  He will turn to all of you, my dear people, Koinonia Global,
• 2:41:44
  and say thank you because when you heard the word, you came and
• 2:41:48
  became a formidable army that has brought this many souls to
• 2:41:52
  Jesus. Yes, Sir.
• 2:41:54
  Yes, Sir. You're coming to church is
• 2:41:59
  beyond honoring the call of a man.
• 2:42:01
  No, it's beyond being a fan. There are no fans in this
• 2:42:04
  ministry. Fans have no reward.
• 2:42:07
  You are connected with understanding and by covenant.
• 2:42:11
  And I've told you, for every preaching, every singing, every
• 2:42:15
  instruction in righteousness, every nation that I travel to,
• 2:42:20
  you have gone with me in the spirit, through your prayers,
• 2:42:23
  through your giving, through your love, by calling other
• 2:42:26
  people to be part of it. I wanted to know that one day
• 2:42:29
  when we stand before His Majesty, the King of all Kings,
• 2:42:33
  as I hear thank you, you will also hear thank you.
• 2:42:39
  Are you ready to pray now? I choose life.
• 2:42:42
  Go ahead and pray. I choose life.
• 2:42:46
  I choose life. I choose life.
• 2:42:50
  I choose spirituality. I choose transformation.
• 2:42:53
  Someone is praying. I choose purpose and meaning.
• 2:43:00
  I choose health and longevity. I choose economic empowerment,
• 2:43:06
  to live a life of dignity and to serve the Kingdom with honor.
• 2:43:12
  I choose quality, destiny, relationships.
• 2:43:16
  Finally, like Abraham and like the seed of Abraham indeed, I
• 2:43:22
  choose to be a blessing. Let my life count.
• 2:43:25
  Someone is praying. Someone is praying.
• 2:43:36
  Someone is praying, declare I choose life.
• 2:43:48
  Ask the Lord to help you. Every decision that you have
• 2:43:51
  made that has brought you pain, every decision you are now
• 2:43:56
  making that is leading you to perdition, leading you to
• 2:44:00
  destruction, leading you to decline, leading you to failure,
• 2:44:05
  leading you to anger, leading you to jealousy.
• 2:44:11
  Ask the Lord to show you mercy and to grant grace, that from
• 2:44:16
  today you begin to make quality, superior decisions by the Word.
• 2:44:22
  By the Word. The primary instrument that
• 2:44:25
  guides our making decisions is the Word of God, then the
• 2:44:31
  ministry of the Holy Spirit, then the counsel of those who
• 2:44:35
  have gone ahead. Go ahead and pray before I speak
• 2:44:39
  over your life. For in Jesus mighty name we have
• 2:44:57
  prayed is that As for me and my house?
• 2:45:03
  Choose life means choose spirituality.
• 2:45:08
  Choose loving and serving Jesus passionately beyond church
• 2:45:13
  traditions. Choose life means Choose to
• 2:45:17
  upgrade your thinking to a superior mentality that attracts
• 2:45:23
  possibilities that are what compliance to your life.
• 2:45:27
  Choose life means. Choose to live a life of purpose
• 2:45:30
  and meaning, not just rigmar rolling around the corridors of
• 2:45:34
  life and destiny. Choose life means Choose
• 2:45:37
  vitality. Whatever it takes to work in
• 2:45:41
  health, vitality and soundness. Choose life means to choose
• 2:45:48
  financial and economic empowerment, that the Lord is
• 2:45:53
  truly your shepherd and there are keys He has given you, and
• 2:45:57
  that when you understand and engage those keys, it is true
• 2:46:00
  that you shall not want. Choose life means choose
• 2:46:04
  strategic relationships. You cannot be a believer in the
• 2:46:08
  midst of unbelievers and say it does not care.
• 2:46:11
  You cannot be a child of God in the midst of people who mock God
• 2:46:14
  and say it does not care. Show me your company.
• 2:46:17
  He that works with the wise, the Bible says, shall be wise
• 2:46:20
  himself. But a companion of fools shall
• 2:46:23
  be destroyed. And finally choose life means I
• 2:46:27
  choose to be a blessing. That one day the nations will
• 2:46:31
  call your name and say, Thank God you came.
• 2:46:35
  That you will not just be a number that passed the face of
• 2:46:40
  the earth, but one day they will thank you and say thank God for
• 2:46:44
  such a daughter. You cannot imagine how honored I
• 2:46:47
  was again to make reference to our royal fathers when they said
• 2:46:51
  some of the things that they said.
• 2:46:53
  It is truly an honor to be alive and to serve and to serve in a
• 2:46:58
  way that your people and the nations can see that you are
• 2:47:03
  making efforts and you are doing well to serve Jesus.
• 2:47:06
  We may not have done everything, there is always room for more.
• 2:47:10
  But my goodness, I am so glad to serve Jesus.
• 2:47:14
  I am so glad to live for Him. I am so glad to spend my days
• 2:47:21
  heralding His name to the nations to be a blessing.
• 2:47:26
  Someday one child will come to Koenonia and hug you.
• 2:47:29
  And you say, who are you? And you say I'm the child you
• 2:47:32
  prayed for. I'm the child you paid school
• 2:47:35
  fees for. Who are you?
• 2:47:37
  I am the child who your summon stopped me from serving idols.
• 2:47:42
  Someday someone from my region will come and hug me and I will
• 2:47:46
  say who are you? And he said, you may not know
• 2:47:48
  me, but I watched that day when your land was being handed over
• 2:47:52
  to Jesus. Amazing isn't it?
• 2:47:55
  Make up your mind that I will not live an ordinary life again.
• 2:47:58
  The key is not to do ministry. The key is to serve Jesus.
• 2:48:02
  You can do ministry and be out of the will of God and be
• 2:48:06
  wasting your time just trying to build an empire.
• 2:48:08
  Serving Jesus is a better proposal with all your life,
• 2:48:13
  with all your heart. As I speak over your life, I
• 2:48:17
  want to make one strong call right now.
• 2:48:21
  Choose life means choose Jesus. Choose his life, Choose his
• 2:48:26
  ways. Choose life means give up your
• 2:48:29
  ways and follow the ways of Jesus.
• 2:48:33
  Perhaps you began to hear me whilst I was preaching.
• 2:48:36
  And while I was preaching, the Spirit of God began to speak to
• 2:48:39
  you, and he was telling you, listen to this, my son, listen
• 2:48:43
  to what he's saying, because in choosing me, you have chosen
• 2:48:48
  life. Indeed, the greatest way to
• 2:48:50
  choose life is not to make money.
• 2:48:52
  The greatest way to choose life is not to be educated, as
• 2:48:55
  important as that is. The greatest way to choose life
• 2:48:58
  is not even just to serve in church.
• 2:49:00
  It is to have that functional relationship with Jesus.
• 2:49:04
  I want to make an altar call now whether you are outside all the
• 2:49:08
  overflows inside following across the globe.
• 2:49:13
  Here is an opportunity to know Jesus in truth.
• 2:49:16
  I'm going to count 1 to 5 and I'm calling by discount two
• 2:49:20
  groups of people. Number one, those who will say
• 2:49:23
  apostle, give me the honor of making this decision in the
• 2:49:27
  presence of God's people once and for all.
• 2:49:30
  For someone who are saying, hearing you speak, I have made
• 2:49:32
  bad decisions. I want to rededicate my life
• 2:49:36
  sincerely as I count 1 to 5 without shame, without fear.
• 2:49:40
  I want you to leave your seat and run.
• 2:49:42
  Come and stand here now one Kaunania.
• 2:49:47
  Let's celebrate them. Don't sit back when the Spirit
• 2:49:51
  of God is telling you you need to come.
• 2:49:58
  Come Koinonia, keep clapping. It is your sacrifice.
• 2:50:03
  We are encouraging them as they come.
• 2:50:05
  Come. There is always room for you at
• 2:50:09
  the cross. Dear brothers and sisters, come,
• 2:50:12
  no matter how you have derailed, come to Jesus.
• 2:50:17
  Just breathe your name upon me. Breathe.
• 2:51:05
  The Bible says as many who will come to him, He will in no wise
• 2:51:08
  castaway. I want to salute you, my dear
• 2:51:11
  brothers and sisters, for making this noble decision.
• 2:51:14
  The wisest decision any man can make in this side of God's
• 2:51:18
  Kingdom is the decision to make it right with Jesus.
• 2:51:22
  That is true security when we get it right with him.
• 2:51:25
  You can fail in every other area, but if you get it right
• 2:51:29
  with Jesus, you are a victor indeed.
• 2:51:32
  You are a winner indeed. I'm going to be praying for you
• 2:51:35
  now. That includes those who are
• 2:51:36
  watching by television, those who are watching online.
• 2:51:39
  Here's your chance to make Jesus Lord of your life.
• 2:51:42
  May I request that you please lift your right hand high above
• 2:51:45
  your head as a sign of surrender.
• 2:51:47
  Say this after me. Say Lord Jesus, tonight I have
• 2:51:52
  heard your word. I believe that you died for me.
• 2:51:57
  I believe that you rose again for my justification.
• 2:52:02
  Right now I receive Jesus into my heart as my Savior, my Lord,
• 2:52:10
  and my King. I declare that the power of sin,
• 2:52:17
  Satan, hell, and the grave is broken over my life.
• 2:52:22
  From tonight and forever. I am a child of God.
• 2:52:27
  I go for whatever and back whatever.
• 2:52:31
  Amen. Keep your beautiful hands lifted
• 2:52:33
  and I speak over you. Father, thank you for these
• 2:52:35
  precious ones. You have brought them to Your
• 2:52:37
  presence to change them. Now they are changed.
• 2:52:41
  I pray that the power of sin, Satan, hell, and the grave be
• 2:52:44
  broken over your life and in the name of Jesus I decree and
• 2:52:48
  declare that every force that has held you down, let it give
• 2:52:51
  way right now. I just saw light coming on 2 of
• 2:52:55
  you. The 2 of you I just saw like
• 2:52:56
  light resting on you. I cost that spirit right now.
• 2:53:00
  In the name of Jesus Christ, I release you from anything and
• 2:53:05
  everything that has held you down.
• 2:53:08
  The power to live a victorious Christian life I release upon
• 2:53:12
  you right now in the name of Jesus.
• 2:53:14
  You go forward ever and back whatever in Jesus mighty name we
• 2:53:21
  have prayed, Amen and Amen. Let's give them a big God bless
• 2:53:24
  you. Please.
• 2:53:26
  I want you to move to my left. May I request that you move to
• 2:53:29
  my left. That will be your right.
• 2:53:31
  There are counselors waiting to have a very quick word with you,
• 2:53:35
  very quick word with you and then you will be back to your
• 2:53:40
  seat. Hallelujah for one last time.
• 2:53:44
  I want us to please give our royal fathers a very big God
• 2:53:48
  bless you. Thank you, thank you, thank you,
• 2:53:53
  thank you for taking the time to come and fellowship with us.
• 2:53:56
  We truly honor you Sir. We honor you.
• 2:53:59
  Please take our love and blessings back to the entire
• 2:54:02
  Tarot nation that we love them and we honor them in the name of
• 2:54:05
  Jesus Christ. And to thank everyone who has
• 2:54:09
  made it to church tonight, remember that for all of you who
• 2:54:13
  are around Jos, Kaduna, Zamfara and all the environs, let's
• 2:54:18
  converge in Zaria. It's going to be an incredible
• 2:54:21
  time beginning from Wednesday, Thursday all invite everyone,
• 2:54:27
  Christians, Muslims, everyone. The medical outreach especially
• 2:54:31
  and the welfare outreach, they are all together.
• 2:54:34
  Please insist and ensure. I hope that the schedules, I
• 2:54:37
  hope that I got that right. I think there's one that starts
• 2:54:40
  on Wednesday. Wednesday should be, but I don't
• 2:54:44
  know if it's a medical outreach. Please make sure that it's on
• 2:54:47
  our social media platforms so that they follow suit.
• 2:54:50
  And then Thursday night is the worship concert and night of
• 2:54:55
  worship. We're carrying all of our
• 2:54:57
  wonderful worshippers here. And it's going to be a time
• 2:55:02
  where lifting up sounds from Zarya literally to the ends of
• 2:55:05
  the earth and all of you connect.
• 2:55:07
  All of the programs will be on Koinonia Global, so they will be
• 2:55:09
  live. So you'll connect all through
• 2:55:12
  the final service in Zarya will be live.
• 2:55:15
  And then we're doing it outside. So it's going to be a crusade.
• 2:55:20
  Hallelujah, Friday is going to be a crusade.
• 2:55:22
  Invite everyone. Let's give God one mighty
• 2:55:26
  harvest of souls to wrap up Zarya for the year.
• 2:55:29
  And then we're here on Sunday. Please.
• 2:55:31
  I want you to invite everyone. You know, it is going to double
• 2:55:35
  as our final miracle service, if any, even though officially
• 2:55:40
  there's no miracle service, but I mean, not with God anywhere.
• 2:55:42
  There's expectation his power will move, will be thanking God
• 2:55:46
  worshiped him. Get set to lead us in very high
• 2:55:49
  praise. Who are going to shake this
• 2:55:51
  place and come with your dancing shoes.
• 2:55:54
  We'll celebrate the name of the Lord and then I will be speaking
• 2:55:58
  over your life. We'll be sowing our end of year
• 2:56:01
  sacrifice and then we'll just be lifting the name of Jesus to
• 2:56:04
  thank Him for this marvelous year of open doors.
• 2:56:07
  Have you been blessed tonight? May the Lord bless you in Jesus
• 2:56:10
  name. May the hand of God rest upon
• 2:56:13
  you. I declare that your choices and
• 2:56:15
  your decisions from today will begin to lead you towards
• 2:56:18
  purpose, will begin to lead you towards destiny and any wrong
• 2:56:22
  choice you have made right now and you are being trapped by it.
• 2:56:26
  May the God who delivers men bring you out of it now, bring
• 2:56:31
  you out of it now. From tonight, receive grace to
• 2:56:35
  begin to make quality choices in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:56:40
  For some of you, one decision you will make after this
• 2:56:42
  service. It will give you one year's
• 2:56:44
  worth of testimonies. I say it again, one decision you
• 2:56:49
  will make after this service will give you one years worth of
• 2:56:52
  testimonies. You are blessed and you remain
• 2:56:56
  blessed. You are lifted and you remain
• 2:56:58
  lifted. May you enjoy wealth and
• 2:57:02
  prosperity. May you enjoy a rich fellowship
• 2:57:05
  with the Holy Spirit. May you enjoy favor with God and
• 2:57:09
  with man. May you enjoy liftings on all
• 2:57:13
  sides. It is well with you.
• 2:57:16
  Nothing dies in your hands. Return by next week a testimony
• 2:57:21
  in Jesus, much less name. We pray together as a family.
• 2:57:27
  Let's share the grace in fellowship, the grace of our
• 2:57:29
  Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, the sweet fellowship of the
• 2:57:33
  Holy Spirit. Rest and abide with us now and
• 2:57:36
  forever. Amen.
• 2:57:38
  Surely God's goodness and mercies follow us all the days
• 2:57:42
  of our lives as we dwell in the House of the Lord forever and
• 2:57:46
  ever. Amen.
• 2:57:47
  God bless you. Please greet someone and then
• 2:57:49
  see you on Sunday.
