Speaker 3: a big gun. Amen, please be see that. Amen. Don't
4:17
Speaker 3: your bibles quickly to the Book of Isaiah Isaiah, chapter
4:31
Speaker 3: number fifty five. What's start there? Reading from verse one
4:46
Speaker 3: Isaiah fifty five, from verse one, and I read from her, Oh,
4:59
Speaker 3: everyone fested, come to the waters and either has no money,
5:06
Speaker 3: come here, buy and eat. Come buy wine and milk
5:13
Speaker 3: without money and without what price? Wherefore do you spend
5:19
Speaker 3: money on that which is not bread and labor for
5:23
Speaker 3: that which satisfies. Not acting diligently onto me, and eat
5:29
Speaker 3: that which is good, and let your soul delight itself
5:33
Speaker 3: in fatness. Let's read Press three together loud and crayer.
5:52
Speaker 3: You didn't read it well, read again here and your
6:01
Speaker 3: should shall leave, and I will make an everlasting copetat
6:05
Speaker 3: with you, even the shore mercies of even the shows
6:10
Speaker 3: or who David. So, I showed you something just briefly
6:17
Speaker 3: at the opening of the conference, and I'm going to
6:24
Speaker 3: just proceed a beauty. But one thing is very certain
6:28
Speaker 3: this morning. The version of you that will be praying
6:33
Speaker 3: this morning is a version that is back to ready.
6:39
Speaker 3: I didn't hear amen to that. It's a version that
6:43
Speaker 3: has come into awareness and a version that is ready
6:47
Speaker 3: to hold the bull by the arm. I didn't hear
6:50
Speaker 3: amen to that. So I told you.
6:55
Speaker 2: That the mercy of God is not a feel good peer.
7:00
Speaker 2: The messy of.
7:01
Speaker 3: God is his compassion fantastic. It is his kindness. It
7:10
Speaker 3: is an extension of what you don't deserve. But because
7:18
Speaker 3: messy Veto's protocol, the devil hated, and not only does
7:25
Speaker 3: he hate it, he hates anyone who has found it.
7:32
Speaker 3: The messy of God on your life is God saying
7:38
Speaker 3: I have decided to extend my compassion to you. Look
7:41
Speaker 3: at the way he puts it. Turn of Bibles with me,
7:45
Speaker 3: the Book of Romance, chapter number nine. Romance, chapter number nine.
7:57
Speaker 3: We started reading from verse tend for clarity in the
8:03
Speaker 3: context of what I'm about to show you. And not
8:06
Speaker 3: only this, but when they Baker also had conceived by
8:09
Speaker 3: one even by our father Isaikhys for.
8:13
Speaker 2: The children being not yet born, neither having done any.
8:16
Speaker 3: Good or evil, that the purpose of God according to
8:19
Speaker 3: an election might stand, not of works, but of Him
8:22
Speaker 3: that what call it. Verse twelve, It was said to add,
8:26
Speaker 3: the elder shall serve the younger, as it is written.
8:31
Speaker 3: And let me say this to you. You cannot have
8:37
Speaker 3: fait for what is outside the context of your destiny.
8:46
Speaker 3: You cannot have faith for what is outside the context
8:51
Speaker 3: of the will of God for your life. So faith
8:57
Speaker 3: is extended where the will of God is known. The
9:00
Speaker 3: reason why you can't believe God for certain things and
9:03
Speaker 3: they happen is because there is a script that predates you,
9:07
Speaker 3: and they are contained in it. And this is why
9:12
Speaker 3: you must be grateful. You are not where you are
9:16
Speaker 3: because you are the smartest. You are where you are
9:19
Speaker 3: because a messy that spoke before you were formed, spoke
9:25
Speaker 3: the children being not yet born, neither having done any
9:30
Speaker 3: good or evil, that the purpose of God according to
9:33
Speaker 3: an election might stand. God said Jacoba, Bye, loved people
9:40
Speaker 3: have had you theologically over this, But will God to
9:42
Speaker 3: say Jacoba vie love Goba. One very simple, simple biblical
9:46
Speaker 3: humanetics principle for you to understand the language of a text,
9:51
Speaker 3: Understand the fellow we're speaking, and then those who are
9:54
Speaker 3: speaking to when he's speaking, the cultural context of that time.
10:00
Speaker 2: The one who speaks.
10:02
Speaker 3: Is it anal that is not a frame you are
10:07
Speaker 3: used to. What that means is the past, present, and future.
10:18
Speaker 3: I memory to him. So when God says it's so
10:25
Speaker 3: have I loved? Is not joining you to look at
10:30
Speaker 3: what their life will become. He has seen and he
10:33
Speaker 3: spoke from that. Let me give you an explanation. Where
10:40
Speaker 3: is so? He is a movie producer, a music producer.
10:46
Speaker 3: He does all sorts of things. So has written a
10:52
Speaker 3: script to be acted. And I have a male and
10:59
Speaker 3: a female from a drama department. Thank you, And in
11:06
Speaker 3: that script, sorry, this is one of their characters in
11:11
Speaker 3: the script. Okay, every pastor here. He wrote that script,
11:19
Speaker 3: and a director came to sit with the script. Producer
11:22
Speaker 3: sat with the script and interprinted that interprinted the script
11:26
Speaker 3: and found actors that can meet up with certain rules
11:35
Speaker 3: if the author of the script sitting beside you at
11:40
Speaker 3: the beginning of the script. So I love debo the
11:48
Speaker 3: author is speaking, is not your mate as firs. The
11:50
Speaker 3: script is concerned what you are about to watch is
11:54
Speaker 3: in the end, because it's seeing the end. That's why
11:59
Speaker 3: you can commence. You only have a commencement because God finished.
12:10
Speaker 3: So there's no panic in even is not trying to
12:12
Speaker 3: figure out what your life will become. He's finished. It
12:18
Speaker 3: is your own duty to now understand the script and
12:22
Speaker 3: fashion your life after what is written.
12:25
Speaker 2: Because listen, you can act out of character.
12:30
Speaker 3: If what is containing your script is length of this,
12:32
Speaker 3: you can die young, true, non chalice. She's all said,
12:40
Speaker 3: low a comment volume of books as it is written
12:43
Speaker 3: of me. And that's why you don't panic. The doctors
12:49
Speaker 3: are saying, there's this sickness. We are finding a long
12:54
Speaker 3: and because you have found the world of God according
12:56
Speaker 3: to the script, affront. This is not how I died.
13:02
Speaker 3: According to the script I found, I lived to a
13:05
Speaker 3: ripe old age and I finished. Let's say the way
13:17
Speaker 3: the brothers are shooting for a killing. According to the script,
13:21
Speaker 3: I didn't die by gone or by blight. There, Christians,
13:30
Speaker 3: you're already under attack. If you're doing media and you're
13:33
Speaker 3: not reading your Bible, they will change your script and
13:39
Speaker 3: what you see is what you become. How do you
13:43
Speaker 3: listen to conversations around an area that there is already
13:46
Speaker 3: an attack in your mind? The devil is fighting your mind.
13:51
Speaker 3: Were thought of on timely death, and you are the
13:53
Speaker 3: one going on Facebook and seeing r ips. Your script
13:57
Speaker 3: will be manipulated and another character will have to replace
14:02
Speaker 3: what you ought to do. I'm not trying to show
14:06
Speaker 3: you something. When God speaks, he's not man. Stop trying
14:10
Speaker 3: to figure him out. He's speaking from an eternal standpoint.
14:14
Speaker 3: The plane is higher than the highest man, and that's
14:18
Speaker 3: where he was speaking from. Jacob and I loved and
14:24
Speaker 3: so have I. That's it, he's spoken. Please sit there
14:30
Speaker 3: for a moment. But was it because of anything they did?
14:34
Speaker 5: No?
14:35
Speaker 3: So the messy of God is God's selection process. Messy
14:42
Speaker 3: is the vine election where you find messag is God
14:46
Speaker 3: saying I choose you. And I've told you that there's
14:52
Speaker 3: a flip side. There's a flip side that you need
14:56
Speaker 3: to understand about messy. Let me show your text ton
15:00
Speaker 3: your Bibles with me. The Book of Luke, chapter number one.
15:05
Speaker 3: A woman found MESSI in Luke one. By now, Bible's
15:13
Speaker 3: callers already know the story, right somebody's love of my
15:19
Speaker 3: life doesn't know the story in Lukewan. Sorry, that's why
15:26
Speaker 3: we're in charge to learn. Let's start the reading from
15:40
Speaker 3: verse twenty six. And amazingly, this is the sixth month
15:46
Speaker 3: of the year, and in the sixth month, the angel
15:51
Speaker 3: Gabriel was sent from God onto a city of what
15:58
Speaker 3: Galilee named Nazareh, Yes, to a virgin espoused to a
16:04
Speaker 3: man whose name was Joseph of the House of David.
16:09
Speaker 3: And the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came
16:13
Speaker 3: on to hers and saying, now that highly favored. The
16:18
Speaker 3: Lord is with you. When you hear that you are
16:23
Speaker 3: highly favored, you think your life is about to go smooth.
16:26
Speaker 3: All our plans, all our ambitions, everything she had taught
16:32
Speaker 3: you will do, Our life will become about was about
16:35
Speaker 3: to be dead to that greeting. I'm saying that the
16:41
Speaker 3: messing of God will launch you from predictability to uncertainty.
16:48
Speaker 3: When he chooses you, it's not choosing you for what
16:51
Speaker 3: you want to do. It's saying that your life as
16:54
Speaker 3: you have planned, your life, as you know it, it's
16:58
Speaker 3: going to be forever interrupted. So, yeah, that was highly favored. First,
17:04
Speaker 3: some me me was speaking this morning about people who
17:08
Speaker 3: are getting married that they will do pregnancy tests two
17:14
Speaker 3: weeks before wedding, a few days before the wedding. Fantastic,
17:24
Speaker 3: people play pranks. Mary is on counseling list, and people
17:37
Speaker 3: will count. When people get married, they start counting and
17:43
Speaker 3: say more check. When I posted online I was getting married,
17:52
Speaker 3: somebody came to drop in the comment session that are usual.
17:56
Speaker 3: You have not impregnated this girl. Forget it. There are
18:03
Speaker 3: people here who have the capacity. We are humans. What
18:11
Speaker 3: that means is if anything happens as less than nine
18:16
Speaker 3: months after wedding, they have questions. So Mary wasn't married,
18:23
Speaker 3: she was engaged, and now she was pregnant. The good
18:29
Speaker 3: news is that there's nobody else that will experience that.
18:33
Speaker 3: Jesus is born and he died over two thousand years ago.
18:39
Speaker 3: So God is not choosing you. That's the balance. As
18:48
Speaker 3: a girl on our campus who said that God was
18:50
Speaker 3: testinal pregnancy. People who say sim the devil, say ah,
19:05
Speaker 3: I said you demons shocked. Hell, Mary, thou highly favored.
19:17
Speaker 3: And the next statement, you'll be pregnant, say you are
19:24
Speaker 3: blessed among women. Continue And when he saw that, she
19:30
Speaker 3: was troubled saying, say cast her mind man as Tudi
19:33
Speaker 3: should be. Yes. And then your said, fear not, Mary,
19:35
Speaker 3: you have found feeful with God. Yes, now look at
19:40
Speaker 3: this be old. Thou shall conceive you apparently a girl
19:43
Speaker 3: who is not marry. You will get pregnant. But the
19:46
Speaker 3: word conceived there is too polite. If this will be
19:51
Speaker 3: writing and creating the pigeon, is that you will carry
19:54
Speaker 3: better if you have somebody, We said on this who
20:02
Speaker 3: and just come pregnant? What is a carriller? You don't say?
20:04
Speaker 2: You have conceived.
20:09
Speaker 3: And bring forth a son, and shall call his name Jesus. Yes,
20:15
Speaker 3: and he shall be great and shall be called the
20:17
Speaker 3: son of the Hyas. And the Lord God shall give
20:21
Speaker 3: on to him the throne of who is Father David,
20:24
Speaker 3: and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever,
20:28
Speaker 3: and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Continue,
20:32
Speaker 3: then said Mary onto the Angel, how shall these things be,
20:35
Speaker 3: saying I know not a man. Yes. And the Angel
20:39
Speaker 3: answered and said on to us the Holy Ghost shall
20:41
Speaker 3: come upon thee, and the power of the Hyges shall
20:44
Speaker 3: shadow the Therefore also the only thing which thou shalt
20:48
Speaker 3: be born off of thee shall be called the son
20:51
Speaker 3: of God. Yes, and the old make reference to Elizabeth
20:56
Speaker 3: to also be pregnant in that season. But there's something
21:00
Speaker 3: I want to show you there. While still reading that text,
21:13
Speaker 3: let's jump a bit to h that's the moment. Please, Okay,
21:31
Speaker 3: I'm going to come back there. And doesn't look too.
21:35
Speaker 1: So.
21:35
Speaker 3: You had come to this girl and said to her,
21:40
Speaker 3: the Lord has favored you. And the next question is, okay,
21:46
Speaker 3: now I'm going to be pregnant. Yes, how do I
21:50
Speaker 3: explain it to people that I'm pregnant? Then? How do
21:56
Speaker 3: I call this kind of pregnancy favor? Who did me
22:00
Speaker 3: a favor? Joseph the guy married to the girl who
22:08
Speaker 3: has found favor? You will have to quickly do a
22:15
Speaker 3: chart and guess what. All your dream of marrying a
22:21
Speaker 3: virgin has failed. Let's think about it. Women who have
22:32
Speaker 3: gone through labor. You know how painful is it is
22:37
Speaker 3: to go through labor. Then think about going through labor
22:40
Speaker 3: as a virgin. And in the Night of Tears in
22:49
Speaker 3: the Major, because he had to be born in the Major,
22:52
Speaker 3: prophetically signified that he came to do what she does.
22:57
Speaker 3: He will die as the sheep to take away the
23:00
Speaker 3: sins of the world, but she will love to push
23:04
Speaker 3: through a highmen. If you did a bit of anatomy,
23:10
Speaker 3: you understand that hymens are vascularized. So there's blood and
23:18
Speaker 3: let's leave the rest. So because I know how to describe,
23:22
Speaker 3: so I don't get your imagination for me. But yet,
23:34
Speaker 3: when you see yourself in pain, no you're not married.
23:40
Speaker 3: Let's a lady. Come. When you see yourself in pain,
23:45
Speaker 3: shame and confusion, and you see other girls that God
23:50
Speaker 3: did not give any word of affection and affirmation, enjoying
23:54
Speaker 3: their lives as planned and all that. And God said,
23:57
Speaker 3: this is what I mean when I said you found messy.
24:03
Speaker 3: Mercy is the divine privilege of being chosen for a fight.
24:14
Speaker 3: Let me give you the story of another man who
24:16
Speaker 3: found mercy in the Bible. Please sit down. The man
24:21
Speaker 3: Job the devil was dis It was God who called
24:28
Speaker 3: the devil and said, have you considered my servant Job,
24:40
Speaker 3: Seeing that is a man that fears the Lord and
24:43
Speaker 3: excuse evil, have you considered him? What was the crime
24:49
Speaker 3: of Job? And the devil said, I might be quiet
25:03
Speaker 3: when I had my observation, HM, and I like you
25:06
Speaker 3: to know that the devil as is observation about you too.
25:11
Speaker 3: He said, why will Job, not save you. You gave
25:14
Speaker 3: him a wealth. You surround him with everything, you build
25:18
Speaker 3: an hedge around him. You will save you.
25:21
Speaker 2: God said, trust him, Go and touch everything, but don't
25:25
Speaker 2: touch his life a job.
25:31
Speaker 3: If Job was in the room and was seeing God
25:35
Speaker 3: at the devil talking, if you were Job, would you
25:38
Speaker 3: say stop? It shouldn't be a crime that I fear
25:48
Speaker 3: you this test that you won't don't bring it to
25:51
Speaker 3: my side. But he yeats in the wet of God.
26:01
Speaker 3: You must consider even the word's adversity a privilege. That
26:10
Speaker 3: it is a privilege to be trusted with these fights.
26:12
Speaker 3: It is a privileg to be trusted with this battle.
26:15
Speaker 3: It is a privileg to be trusted to face goods.
26:17
Speaker 3: It is a privileg to be trusted to know that
26:20
Speaker 3: I will make you proud. It is because we are sensual,
26:31
Speaker 3: that is physical. That's why we are not aware that
26:34
Speaker 3: certain things carry eternal weight of glory.
26:37
Speaker 2: When we see Jesus face to face, the higes point of.
26:41
Speaker 3: Those that will shine ours cast. When they were having
26:50
Speaker 3: the opening presentation, I was wiping tears from my eyes
26:55
Speaker 3: several times. When the small boy acts the road was
26:59
Speaker 3: supposed to be easy. Why so many scars. Oh boy,
27:05
Speaker 3: when you choose you, you think it is for fun,
27:08
Speaker 3: But there you bleed. And when you are bleeding as
27:16
Speaker 3: poor yet making many rich, you have pain you can't
27:23
Speaker 3: put into words, and others we are not carrying that
27:27
Speaker 3: kind of pain. It gives you a word for them.
27:30
Speaker 3: And yet you're not getting killed. And it looks to
27:33
Speaker 3: someone like Paula and say, deal with the affliction. My
27:36
Speaker 3: grace is sufficient for you. You minister to the rest,
27:41
Speaker 3: live on my grace. The moment God sets his eyes
27:49
Speaker 3: on the person that I found you. The devil is
27:54
Speaker 3: interested in everything and everyone God is interested in. Anyone
27:59
Speaker 3: has found fear. Boy in the sight of God is
28:01
Speaker 3: in trouble. One time I was teaching, and I'm going
28:11
Speaker 3: to teach you the same series again because it is
28:13
Speaker 3: important for your friiate to be complete. I was teaching
28:15
Speaker 3: a prophetic teaching from Joel chapter number two. You want
28:24
Speaker 3: to turn the Bibles there, and I was teaching. You
28:34
Speaker 3: can't get the message online. The title of the message
28:38
Speaker 3: is one that's in ever Joel to Let's start the
28:45
Speaker 3: reading from verse twenty eight. That's the one you're conversing with.
28:49
Speaker 3: And it shall come to pass afterwards that I will
28:51
Speaker 3: part my spirit upon our flesh, and your sons and
28:53
Speaker 3: your daughters shall prophesy, and the old men shall dream dreams,
28:57
Speaker 3: and your young men shall see visions. Yes, and all
29:00
Speaker 3: so upon the seven, upon the handmaidens. In those days,
29:02
Speaker 3: I will part my spirits, yes, and I will show wonders. Eleven.
29:10
Speaker 3: If you met Jube, Oh, I need someone who can
29:15
Speaker 3: act drama, waist said, do you help me? A Job
29:20
Speaker 3: went from the most respected man to the most despised
29:27
Speaker 3: man the cap of honor baseball BA. Come, there's no inquestion,
29:40
Speaker 3: there's no intention, I say, Yet he had to change
29:44
Speaker 3: to this for the drama. So just so you know,
29:56
Speaker 3: I didn't know why it was you I called, and
30:01
Speaker 3: Job moved from the man you reserve the seat of
30:05
Speaker 3: honor four in an event to the man who sits
30:11
Speaker 3: but boils all over his body and will not even
30:14
Speaker 3: be allowed into the same event where they will celebrate
30:17
Speaker 3: him as the chairman of the occasion. While here is
30:23
Speaker 3: the image of reproach, But in heaven is a wonder.
30:30
Speaker 3: Angels are saying, we have seen God face to face.
30:34
Speaker 3: We know it's glowy.
30:36
Speaker 2: Hence there is why we are here. But you have
30:38
Speaker 2: not seen him, and yet you believe. What kind of
30:42
Speaker 2: man is this?
30:44
Speaker 3: Many of you are approaching your life whiles yet you
30:47
Speaker 3: are a wonder in heaven. How can a church well
30:54
Speaker 3: be broken down? And when our church was pulled down?
30:57
Speaker 3: There's an aspect of it I cannot put to words.
31:00
Speaker 3: It is not the pain of the worlds you spend
31:02
Speaker 3: money to build. It is the shame, the shame that
31:10
Speaker 3: those of other faith saw you building, and they know
31:13
Speaker 3: they will fight it till he comes down. And they did,
31:17
Speaker 3: and God folded his hands. The shame of being a
31:22
Speaker 3: landlord in one moment and a tenant in the next.
31:27
Speaker 3: The believers who asked the question, it was because of
31:29
Speaker 3: the kind of preachings they preach. It doesn't hear word,
31:33
Speaker 3: don't mind them shame. And yet we can step out
31:39
Speaker 3: the following Sunday and dance. You know, I told you
31:51
Speaker 3: I wish we didn't get this facility. I wanted to
31:57
Speaker 3: see light national worship in the open. So like the
32:02
Speaker 3: army of Gideon, those who want to dive in the
32:05
Speaker 3: water can go, but those who will leak with their
32:08
Speaker 3: hands can stay. Let's leave aside those who want enjoyment
32:14
Speaker 3: unless have the church. When God choose you for its revolation,
32:26
Speaker 3: it's still messy. God will never allow you to be
32:38
Speaker 3: tempted above what you can bear. If you have ever
32:50
Speaker 3: had to wait on God for a child for a year,
32:56
Speaker 3: you will respect those who are in waiting process. Because
33:04
Speaker 3: you can get married your wife Consius gives bed and
33:14
Speaker 3: you say you are held. But yet there's another family.
33:20
Speaker 3: Doctors have scant screened and checked and they said nothing
33:23
Speaker 3: is wrong. One year gone, two years gone, three years gone,
33:29
Speaker 3: four years gone, five years gone, six years gone, seven years,
33:33
Speaker 3: some twenty years. And we try to say that for
33:42
Speaker 3: them not to be getting their miracles, it's because there's
33:45
Speaker 3: something they're not doing right. Have you met people who
33:56
Speaker 3: have who have waited on God for certain things and
33:59
Speaker 3: see the book? Unless in their heart they are the
34:01
Speaker 3: really ones who communicate grace. Many of us speak from
34:04
Speaker 3: our privileges. Have you ever had to wait on God
34:10
Speaker 3: for his spouse so you know it is not by beauty?
34:14
Speaker 3: Have you ever had to wait on God for his
34:16
Speaker 3: spouse as a guy, so you know it's not about
34:17
Speaker 3: just getting any girl. I can get any girl I
34:19
Speaker 3: want when He chooses you for a fight percy. And
34:29
Speaker 3: yet it is what messy? You know. I can't stop
34:34
Speaker 3: thinking about the case of Job. If there were preachers
34:41
Speaker 3: in the days of Job, you'll read the salmon topic
34:44
Speaker 3: in many churches, how not to fall from grace to grace.
34:52
Speaker 3: And the man you are talking about, as far as
34:54
Speaker 3: God is concerned, is none of your age mates.
35:00
Speaker 2: Just think about how God thinks.
35:05
Speaker 3: The moment Job made a mistake and began to brag
35:11
Speaker 3: about his goodness, his flawlessness, everything is done, always made
35:18
Speaker 3: covenant with his eyes not to be all they made.
35:21
Speaker 2: Look at what the friends were saying about him. Elleu
35:23
Speaker 2: what was said?
35:23
Speaker 3: I thought that age munted of wisdom should be found
35:26
Speaker 3: with age. The things that Job was bragging about, was
35:33
Speaker 3: he not God who first bragged about them about him?
35:38
Speaker 3: But look at God's response to the same thing God
35:40
Speaker 3: bragged about about him. God can brag about you you
35:44
Speaker 3: bred about his grace. Look at the way God responded
35:51
Speaker 3: Job that verse one. Look at and the Lord answered Job,
35:57
Speaker 3: out of the wild wind and said, who is this?
36:01
Speaker 3: That darknet counsel by words without knowledge? Hold on, hold on,
36:05
Speaker 3: hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on hold on
36:07
Speaker 3: How did this that he would be? It's started by
36:10
Speaker 3: God saying I trust him. Then you left the enemy
36:14
Speaker 3: and face the same one that you trust. Who is
36:17
Speaker 3: this fully speaking? Speaking here? He is here in the
36:20
Speaker 3: first place because a king is baking about the quality
36:23
Speaker 3: of his son. He say, darknet counsel by words, without wisdom,
36:29
Speaker 3: without knowledge. Look at the next verse. Grid up, Now
36:32
Speaker 3: die loins like a man, for I will demand of
36:35
Speaker 3: d and you will answer me. Where was dou when
36:39
Speaker 3: I laid the foundations of the head? Declare you have understanding?
36:44
Speaker 3: Who laid the measures thereof? If don lewis who had
36:48
Speaker 3: stretched the lines upon it? Whereupon was the foundations there
36:52
Speaker 3: were fasting? Who laid the cornerstone thereof? When the morning
36:56
Speaker 3: starts sang together and all the songs of God God
37:00
Speaker 3: shouted for joy? Or who shut up the seas with those?
37:04
Speaker 3: And when it break forth as if it had issued
37:07
Speaker 3: out of the womb, when I made it out to
37:09
Speaker 3: the gament and thick darkness swaddling for it, and break
37:15
Speaker 3: up all the things that science would later say, discovery
37:18
Speaker 3: the architect. The reason why it took us time to
37:23
Speaker 3: enter into inventions is because we didn't believe the Bible.
37:28
Speaker 3: Was there not the time that the argument in the
37:29
Speaker 3: scientific world was if the heath was flat ausperica.
37:33
Speaker 2: But did God not say about it? One of the
37:35
Speaker 2: cycles of the earth.
37:40
Speaker 3: Are true?
37:44
Speaker 2: If you could see all the drama, the only question is.
37:51
Speaker 3: Why me? And imagine God saying because you have found
37:57
Speaker 3: favor in my sight, and said God, the version of
38:04
Speaker 3: favor they taught me in church is good.
38:09
Speaker 2: What kind of favor is this too? There is the
38:13
Speaker 2: favor that is not pleasant.
38:17
Speaker 3: You can receive a word from God that today is
38:20
Speaker 3: the beginning of your breakthrough, and the next Monday they
38:22
Speaker 3: sack you. Thank you, sir, and you get to work.
38:31
Speaker 3: And after a powerful conference like this, words came, I'm
38:36
Speaker 3: starting something new with you. I'm about to establish you.
38:41
Speaker 3: And as you get to work, the HR said, please
38:45
Speaker 3: have a letter for you. And you know, all those
38:49
Speaker 3: hid they know how to speak good English. You know.
38:53
Speaker 3: Due to some management something something, we came up with,
38:56
Speaker 3: some this, this and all that. We decided it's good
38:58
Speaker 3: for this company that we you know, just allow some
39:01
Speaker 3: staff rest for a while.
39:07
Speaker 2: How can the answer to prayers.
39:13
Speaker 3: Be form up demotion except a grain of wheat first
39:16
Speaker 3: fall to the ground and die it abides a look,
39:21
Speaker 3: there are times God will not begin from where you are,
39:24
Speaker 3: it needs to start afresh. I grew up around quite
39:37
Speaker 3: a number of big mummies and big aunties and where
39:41
Speaker 3: I came from. When you are sick, they know what
39:43
Speaker 3: leave those squeeze. So there is one particular one that
39:51
Speaker 3: will say it's for fever. Anything is fever, anything if
39:55
Speaker 3: your eyes red, fever, if you shake, fever. But this
39:59
Speaker 3: particular one, when you take it, it will actually stress
40:04
Speaker 3: give you fever. That's my conclusion that wants you take
40:12
Speaker 3: this one the way. You were not hivering before you
40:15
Speaker 3: now she So what's happening there? Because there are pathogens
40:18
Speaker 3: already in your system. Your healing processes have started, but
40:25
Speaker 3: they are manifesting now and reacting from where they are.
40:28
Speaker 3: You are too quick to judge the things going on
40:31
Speaker 3: in your life because you don't have understanding. A friend
40:37
Speaker 3: of mine was sharing something with me. You found themselves
40:40
Speaker 3: somewhere in the same week where he was working God
40:49
Speaker 3: somehow okay, straight the steps of fathers of it, where
40:53
Speaker 3: I was working. Bishop Debut with the book came there,
40:57
Speaker 3: Doctor Paul Nature came there, the WDW Mayor came and
41:04
Speaker 3: for some reasons they all prayed for him as if
41:08
Speaker 3: there was nothing enough past here de woy. It came
41:12
Speaker 3: and furthers, and each and every one of them laid
41:17
Speaker 3: hands on him. The moment he told me, I said, wait,
41:23
Speaker 3: that's the beginning of your trouble. You know what happened
41:27
Speaker 3: to him the moment they laid hands on him is
41:31
Speaker 3: life turned upside down. So he went. So he came
41:37
Speaker 3: to the meeting where I was preaching about one that's
41:39
Speaker 3: in eaven. That is said, I know if I should
41:41
Speaker 3: sit under him, I will get an interpretation for what
41:44
Speaker 3: is going on. How can I receive him? Petition and
41:47
Speaker 3: the first place he took me to his down Let
41:52
Speaker 3: me tell you something. What you celebrate as a blessing
41:55
Speaker 3: my big or biggest trouble When God takes them away,
41:58
Speaker 3: you feel you are down while I've just been helped.
42:01
Speaker 3: Let me tell you something you can be in church
42:05
Speaker 3: you talk about your relationship. Oh, you know, we thank God.
42:08
Speaker 3: When I was on campus from Frankly Life Fellowship to
42:11
Speaker 3: hostels in my room, God does brought this person. God
42:14
Speaker 3: is looking at you about to marry Tiger few weeks
42:17
Speaker 3: to wedding. The person looks at you, I say I'm
42:19
Speaker 3: not interested. Again you will cry your eyes out but
42:22
Speaker 3: as far as everyone is concerned, this.
42:25
Speaker 6: Is what messy looks like. It may be painful, but
42:29
Speaker 6: when God takes what should not be a part of you,
42:31
Speaker 6: you may cry till you get to eternity. Before you know,
42:36
Speaker 6: God showed up and helped you. The messy of God
42:39
Speaker 6: may not make you feel good, but it brings something.
42:43
Speaker 6: It brings your life to where God needs it to be.
42:47
Speaker 6: You may cry, You may be Seid and said, why
42:49
Speaker 6: is my life? This is what I'm saying. I had
42:53
Speaker 6: my plans, I served in a coury. I already drafted
43:01
Speaker 6: my plan. In fact, I already got an offer from
43:05
Speaker 6: futile Center. Let me drop all this nonsense and go there.
43:12
Speaker 6: One time the President.
43:13
Speaker 3: Came to the fellowship the family house. He said, he
43:17
Speaker 3: perceived that we should pray that God should show us
43:21
Speaker 3: what our life will be about after service. I said, there,
43:27
Speaker 3: for certain reasons, I've not prayed this prayer. So President,
43:32
Speaker 3: I'm the journah in these boats. Don't let's pray this prayer.
43:37
Speaker 3: The moment my knees touched the ground, God even let
43:40
Speaker 3: me say Jesus' name. He said, go back to alive
43:44
Speaker 3: and finish what you started. That singular instruction will take
43:48
Speaker 3: the next seven years of my life. I will wake
43:53
Speaker 3: up in notable celebrature. I will wake up in the
43:56
Speaker 3: morning and look at my people.
44:00
Speaker 2: Everybody going, some people going for the electors, some people
44:03
Speaker 2: going to work, and I will cry, what is this?
44:09
Speaker 5: I'm not I can't get a job anywhere. He lost
44:12
Speaker 5: to me and let me go. We sit in meetings
44:18
Speaker 5: they ask people what do you do?
44:19
Speaker 3: So I work? So this this is what do you do?
44:23
Speaker 3: I pray for a leaving and even perst Us will
44:28
Speaker 3: ask you, a young man like yourself, don't you feel
44:30
Speaker 3: you are wasting away? I said, it's true, but the
44:35
Speaker 3: one is wasting it. I don't know what he's doing.
44:39
Speaker 3: I will cry.
44:40
Speaker 2: One time I took out my people.
44:43
Speaker 3: For a retreat. We used to go into the village
44:47
Speaker 3: bush and we have retreats evangelizing those villages. And one
44:54
Speaker 3: time I stood they were all so excited. I'm blessed
44:58
Speaker 3: about what God was doing the ony of the impact
45:01
Speaker 3: and the devil stood beside me and said, people don't
45:05
Speaker 3: follow failures one after the other. They will leave and
45:12
Speaker 3: go after successful past us. You will be alone at
45:15
Speaker 3: the end of your days and there will be nothing
45:17
Speaker 3: to you because you have chosen this part of her.
45:22
Speaker 3: And I went somewhere under a tree and I sat
45:27
Speaker 3: down there, and what was I doing? The man who
45:31
Speaker 3: just finished pretty? I was weeping. I know the way
45:36
Speaker 3: life works. No party, honor of the man who is
45:38
Speaker 3: not successful.
45:41
Speaker 2: Lord, let this be the last.
45:42
Speaker 3: I will come here. I'm done. And I was rembery
45:46
Speaker 3: by missionary him last year came in there and said
45:52
Speaker 3: to me, fermi kilo, what happened? My eyes were ahead
45:59
Speaker 3: and I said that you're needed help, and he laid
46:02
Speaker 3: their hands and spoke words. I remember crying to God.
46:09
Speaker 3: When I preach, people love to listen. Thank you for
46:14
Speaker 3: Mary's who sit at my feet. Give me maters been
46:19
Speaker 3: by me. No, you made laugh.
46:26
Speaker 2: I'm hungry.
46:29
Speaker 3: Many times I will finished preaching. I have to enter
46:31
Speaker 3: a boss to go back to my house, no transport,
46:35
Speaker 3: And God said, don't ask anybody for money. I'm the
46:38
Speaker 3: one who called you, and I will have entered the
46:41
Speaker 3: boss then smoking when I said a sorry, passed off.
46:44
Speaker 3: You know God, I said, I do to give you
46:47
Speaker 3: this two ndred there are. I'm just feeling too small,
46:50
Speaker 3: but friend, give you the money. God bless you this
46:54
Speaker 3: small bottle let me be the judge of that. After
47:03
Speaker 3: I pray the prayer, God give me matters one of
47:06
Speaker 3: my spiritual daughters, because my justice, some of them I
47:09
Speaker 3: do just feel the jump from this guy I know
47:11
Speaker 3: the out track record came to meet me the following
47:15
Speaker 3: day and said, sir, God laid it in my heart
47:21
Speaker 3: that every time I collect pocket money, I should sowty
47:26
Speaker 3: percent to you. A pocket money is ten thousand earth.
47:32
Speaker 3: So she was saying that much to me three thousand.
47:35
Speaker 3: That three thousand was like gold. I survived on that
47:42
Speaker 3: three kid, So when you see that the minute she
47:46
Speaker 3: wakes up one day, I said, we want to honor
47:49
Speaker 3: certain people. There are tears and sacrifices for them on
47:53
Speaker 3: the old that even God cannot forget.
47:57
Speaker 2: But why was all that necessary?
48:04
Speaker 3: Because God wants to use you, and if he wants
48:09
Speaker 3: to use you, he will bring the raw material into
48:12
Speaker 3: his own states. You may cry, you may weep, but
48:17
Speaker 3: he won't stop till you become what he wants. And
48:23
Speaker 3: yet it is what mess? What the nation of isuel
48:28
Speaker 3: finding the sight of God? Mess? What they were doing
48:31
Speaker 3: read numbers twenty five. They were committing what done with
48:34
Speaker 3: daughters of mob In one day twenty five thousand died.
48:38
Speaker 3: What they did that killed them was a lifestyle for
48:41
Speaker 3: the mobite. Yeah, it is not a thread. Are you
48:50
Speaker 3: for what I'm saying? Let me give you an instance.
48:55
Speaker 3: I was in secondary school. I didn't I give you
48:58
Speaker 3: up in the notes. So there was the time I
49:01
Speaker 3: spent brief time in the West and I had a
49:05
Speaker 3: eurobad teacher who didn't like me because I wasn't understanding
49:10
Speaker 3: all those stuffs they were talking about. We did house
49:13
Speaker 3: side class, so they say this one is a day
49:18
Speaker 3: I don't I don't understand. They are saying that I
49:21
Speaker 3: can't understand. This one is this I don't understand. So
49:27
Speaker 3: she didn't like me. So one time we were going
49:30
Speaker 3: on a discussion and we had played there's a game
49:34
Speaker 3: in our school club bad Minting. So I had a
49:38
Speaker 3: bit of staying my leg and a brother who was
49:42
Speaker 3: in my class didn't play that game with us, even
49:44
Speaker 3: though I used to play too. So she came to
49:46
Speaker 3: the boss and look at the brother whose leg was
49:49
Speaker 3: very clear and mine had the stings, and she said
49:53
Speaker 3: to him, shut you, look at your leg. Look at
49:55
Speaker 3: your leg, And everybody looked at the boy's leg. Claim
50:01
Speaker 3: I was the one beside him. Mine was deady. Talk
50:05
Speaker 3: to me direct.
50:11
Speaker 2: When a mother.
50:14
Speaker 3: Sees our child praying plane in the midst of all
50:17
Speaker 3: the children, they're all playing of play. Oh the mother,
50:20
Speaker 3: she picks her own. I'm discipline her own. If our
50:25
Speaker 3: own says that, what about the rest? She says, you
50:28
Speaker 3: are my own concern. If you are not escaping what
50:32
Speaker 3: others are doing for free, you are God's concern. If
50:39
Speaker 3: you have not been doing it and God is quiet,
50:41
Speaker 3: you are the one we need to ask for messy now,
50:45
Speaker 3: because the moment God shows you messy, you will not
50:48
Speaker 3: go by the protocol of the rest. Are you fooling
50:51
Speaker 3: what I'm saying here? Lift your hands to heaven.
50:56
Speaker 2: And say, Lord, show me mercy and wish that someone
51:02
Speaker 2: would cry like that man by the wayside, I'm.
51:06
Speaker 6: Sayesus downsid now, David, have mercy on me.
51:22
Speaker 3: Should be massive.
51:25
Speaker 6: And for some of you willing to repent because you've
51:28
Speaker 6: been charging God wrongly, You've been sulted him as the
51:32
Speaker 6: one would he answer prayers? What is he doing with
51:37
Speaker 6: the waiting cough? What is he doing with the delay?
51:42
Speaker 6: What is it making out of your life?
51:44
Speaker 2: What is it building?
51:53
Speaker 3: Oh? Bahla no.
51:57
Speaker 2: Ho, Lord? Yeah, nih baba a show widow, oh bah lah.
52:11
Speaker 3: Hol on ni a show.
52:22
Speaker 2: A show?
52:30
Speaker 3: Well, bless your holding it me? Hey ca see for
52:38
Speaker 3: a ten ship? Hollo nei.
52:54
Speaker 2: Amen, please looko. Can I just make you understand this.
53:05
Speaker 3: Now? When you say God, use me, you have not
53:09
Speaker 3: asked for something pleasant. The reason why people cry because
53:14
Speaker 3: they actually saying use.
53:15
Speaker 2: Me my own way.
53:19
Speaker 3: I give you an illustration. Imagine we prepared for a
53:23
Speaker 3: confidence like this, and I told the him, Hey, I
53:26
Speaker 3: want excellence and everything we are doing okay. The doesn't
53:29
Speaker 3: go for a ministry. This one doesn't go everything fine, yes,
53:34
Speaker 3: we check everything. We did all those things. And while
53:39
Speaker 3: the service is going on, a young minister is sitd
53:45
Speaker 3: there and he's saying, maybe it's not good. We even
53:49
Speaker 3: called us when we are holding service. Michael, go they
53:55
Speaker 3: want to be something, and then we go see how
53:57
Speaker 3: everything is seem less here. And while that one is
54:02
Speaker 3: meditating on that and just cutting himself down the gent
54:07
Speaker 3: trips of what is God saying? I want to give
54:16
Speaker 3: that younger guy the opportunity to see how my own
54:20
Speaker 3: mature sons and do adversity than the matual son come
54:29
Speaker 3: to something else. There's a place of excellence, or he
54:36
Speaker 3: must know where God is telling the parable. Someone said
54:46
Speaker 3: to me, he said, I thought my life was going backwards,
54:52
Speaker 3: but when I saw your hand do the demolition, I
54:56
Speaker 3: knew I have lessons to learn. The enemy meant it
54:59
Speaker 3: for him. But if God can use that to educate
55:03
Speaker 3: his children, something is right. At least.
55:08
Speaker 2: Can God brag with you for a moment, Oh, everything
55:14
Speaker 2: was one hundred percent.
55:17
Speaker 3: Let me share a story with you. Then I close.
55:22
Speaker 3: This man shared his story with us himself. He has
55:27
Speaker 3: he had about six children, six and he said, these
55:34
Speaker 3: are all well behaved children. Accept one of them, in fact,
55:41
Speaker 3: while he was pictured, that one is a child of detail.
55:47
Speaker 3: And he is a very annoyted man, very annoyed. So
55:53
Speaker 3: he said, the shame, the reproach, the embarrassment, the ind
55:57
Speaker 3: soul that the boys brought them is too much. So
56:00
Speaker 3: he went on forty days dry, forty days dry, and
56:05
Speaker 3: he said, when he's done with that forty days.
56:08
Speaker 2: It will cost the boy, and the boy will die.
56:11
Speaker 2: He went on the mountain.
56:14
Speaker 3: So when he finished the forty days, just praying through out,
56:19
Speaker 3: he wanted to cost the boy. The lord said, you
56:22
Speaker 3: can't cost my servant, whom I've chosen, so you can't
56:27
Speaker 3: cost my servant. He said, if you will use this one,
56:31
Speaker 3: I understand. If you use this one, I understand. If
56:33
Speaker 3: you use one is already a past of But this devil,
56:37
Speaker 3: I said, that's my servant. Imagine forty days God didnt
56:42
Speaker 3: speak to you finish. Then God now made him use
56:45
Speaker 3: all the energy got that for forty days to decree
56:49
Speaker 3: over his life. That was what happened with in Ballah
56:52
Speaker 3: and Balam seven bullocks, seven of rams on seven oars.
56:56
Speaker 3: He began to prophesy over the relation of Israel. Go
57:00
Speaker 3: back to the house. The good boys were greeted. Now
57:03
Speaker 3: that you are welcome, the savant of God. It was
57:11
Speaker 3: the man greeting him and the boy who he said,
57:17
Speaker 3: he stood and looked at him, you savant of God,
57:26
Speaker 3: and he went inside. God uses the folliest things of
57:31
Speaker 3: this world to found otherwise, he said by himself. One
57:38
Speaker 3: time one of his boys that he raised and has
57:40
Speaker 3: helped called from America that God lead in his art
57:43
Speaker 3: to bring one of his children to come join him.
57:47
Speaker 3: Then he can sponsor the passing through school and help
57:50
Speaker 3: him get established in America. So he wrote the name
57:53
Speaker 3: of all the children and o meet it to that boy.
57:57
Speaker 3: So he wrote the boy's name like a mistake. That's there,
58:02
Speaker 3: you know. And the man cycled the one that he
58:07
Speaker 3: wrote as a mistake. So the father called to advise him.
58:10
Speaker 3: He said, since you got to America, have you had
58:13
Speaker 3: reason to go to police and you not to build?
58:15
Speaker 3: Anybody said no, have you had reason? Said no? He said,
58:18
Speaker 3: this boy will take you through all those things. The
58:22
Speaker 3: man said that you are the one who trained use
58:24
Speaker 3: in ministry to hear God.
58:27
Speaker 2: This one is the one God.
58:29
Speaker 3: Is showing me.
58:32
Speaker 2: So he sent the boy to go with him. Like
58:35
Speaker 2: anything that happens, it's between you and God.
58:39
Speaker 3: The boy that was a troublemaker in Nigeria go to America,
58:43
Speaker 3: gave his life to Christ, God discipled, became a pastor,
58:48
Speaker 3: successful in his business, brought down his siblings, plus his
58:51
Speaker 3: father and mother. Why was the devil of time? Because
58:56
Speaker 3: it's the one God chose. Go back and read first
