SPIRITUAL PATHWAY TO GREATNESS · Apostle Joshua Selman

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: We celebrate Jesus. Celebrate Jesus, Father, will bless you. The
• 0:13
  Bible says, the lights shine it in darkness, and the
• 0:17
  darkness comprehend that it is not. Can we lift our
• 0:25
  hands to heaven and bless the name of the Lord tonight.
• 0:31
  Lift your hands to the King of Kings, to Jesus,
• 0:35
  the Son of the Living God. Bless him for his presence,
• 0:43
  Bless him for his word, Bless him for the power
• 0:49
  of the Holy Spirit. Someone praying lest the Lord, No
• 1:06
  my soul, Oh my soul, worship us all name, Oh Name,
• 1:23
  save Ba before my thoughts, and worship the Holy Name.
• 1:33
  Worship Holy Spirit. We thank you because you are the
• 1:44
  author of scripture. You represent the wisdom of Jesus in
• 1:49
  our lives, and we have come tonight demonstrating our commitments
• 1:56
  to learn to grow to be a howard. We pray
• 2:02
  that tonight there be the hearing of faith and even
• 2:07
  the working of miracles. May your word come with power.
• 2:11
  Our hearts are opened in Jesus' name, God, bless you,
• 2:16
  please besited. Allelujah. It's good to be in church. It's
• 2:23
  good to be in the House of God. Allelujah. Very quickly.
• 2:30
  I just want to celebrate a wonderful man of God
• 2:36
  in our midst pastopologist Sunday. He's a resident pastor of
• 2:40
  Living Faith Goshen. God bless you, bless you, God, bless you, sir,
• 2:45
  Thank you, thank you for coming in the name of
• 2:49
  Jesus Christ Allelujah. I thought to start tonight by saying
• 3:00
  very big thank you to everyone, not just the workers,
• 3:05
  but everyone who has committed himself and herself to this vision.
• 3:11
  So far, God has shown us messy and I really
• 3:15
  want to say thank you to our online family world over,
• 3:21
  Azaria family, our family here in Abuja. The Lord honor
• 3:25
  you in the name of Jesus, haven't said that. Let
• 3:30
  me again reiterate the need that we continue to be
• 3:35
  very serious with Jesus, the need to focus on Jesus.
• 3:41
  It was. It burned very strong in my heart as
• 3:44
  I prepared for tonight to just encourage believers, not just
• 3:49
  for coin on your but generally speaking. I think sometimes
• 3:55
  now this is my opinion, sometimes I think we lose,
• 4:02
  we lose the seriousness that it takes sometimes to receive
• 4:06
  from God. It's good to be happy, it's good to celebrate,
• 4:09
  but sometimes I think if we're not guided, not yet
• 4:13
  in coin only. I'm speaking generally. Believers have the tendency
• 4:17
  to go overboard and at the end of it not
• 4:20
  receive anything in the end of the service. And this
• 4:23
  is why people continue to learn, the Bible says, ever learning,
• 4:28
  but never coming to the knowledge. I can tell you this,
• 4:32
  there is a level of attitude and seriousness and diligence
• 4:38
  that must be given when you want to receive. The
• 4:42
  Bible says that Peter told the man at get beautiful,
• 4:48
  look on us, and the Bible says he looked steadfastly,
• 4:51
  expecting to receive. Allelujah. So I just thought to really
• 4:56
  encourage us that every time you come to the House
• 4:59
  of God, Lord, you must be intentional about your desire
• 5:03
  to receive, about your desire for an encounter. The House
• 5:08
  of God is where God makes men. The Church is
• 5:12
  a place of encounters. The church is a place of transformation.
• 5:17
  The church is a place of the miraculous. The church
• 5:21
  is a place where we encountered the anointing. It is
• 5:25
  a place for fellowship where Jesus himself. According to Paul's teaching,
• 5:30
  that Jesus is in that Zion, the first born of
• 5:33
  Wider begotten in a company, an innumerable company of angels
• 5:39
  prays the name of the Lord. Jesus was also speaking,
• 5:43
  and he gave a parable and it had to do
• 5:46
  with the word. And he said, every time the word
• 5:51
  is sown, Satan is also in that vicinity, and he
• 5:56
  has an assignment to take the word. And the Bible says,
• 5:59
  the one who did not bear foot are the ones
• 6:02
  who heard and did not understand. The ones who bought
• 6:06
  foods are the ones who heard and they understood. And
• 6:10
  even among those who understood, they produced three levels of results,
• 6:14
  some thirtyfold, some sixtyfold, and some one hundredfold. So it's
• 6:19
  my charge towards up front tonight that we remain intentional
• 6:25
  about building ourselves. The Word of God is his instrument
• 6:31
  for building. And you cannot imagine how blessed I was
• 6:35
  just hearing the testimonies. Thank God for miracles, thank God
• 6:39
  for breakthroughs, financial blessings. But I am telling you, second
• 6:44
  only to salvation, the greatest miracle that can happen to
• 6:47
  an individual is the miracle of transformation. Transformation means you
• 6:53
  change states from one level to the other. Allelujah, Praise
• 6:58
  the name of the Lord. So we have come to
• 7:05
  the House of God. This is beth Well, the place
• 7:09
  of bread. We have come to learn. You see, the
• 7:12
  world of God is very powerful, and it is very
• 7:15
  valuable because this kingdom is knowledge dependent. God bless our
• 7:21
  precious worship team for that powerful song and all their renditions.
• 7:26
  A call that your eyes be open. It is a
• 7:30
  very very powerful prayer. When an individual is blinded, there
• 7:36
  is almost no future for that individual. Allelujah. Darkness is terrible.
• 7:41
  John one five says, and the light shined in darkness,
• 7:46
  and the darkness comprehended. It not the greatest help. Remember
• 7:49
  our teaching here, let's do a quick recap that the
• 7:53
  greatest need of a non believer is salvation. The greatest
• 7:59
  need of a believer is transformation. The greatest need of
• 8:04
  a transformed believer is empowerment, and the greatest need of
• 8:10
  an empowered believer is character and humility. So upfront you
• 8:17
  know how to help people. If you see a non believer,
• 8:20
  no matter what else, you give that own believer, if
• 8:23
  salvation is not part of it, you did not help
• 8:25
  that own believer. If you see a believer, no matter
• 8:28
  what you give that believer, if you do not give
• 8:31
  the believer the keys that make for transformation, true renewal,
• 8:36
  and enlightenment, you have not really helped that believer. And
• 8:40
  if you meet a believer who is already transformed, then
• 8:44
  he must be exposed to the spiritual atmosphere that makes
• 8:47
  for empowerment, because this kingdom also requires power.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: It is according as his divine.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Power hath given us all things, the Bible says that
• 8:57
  pertains onto life and godliness. And when you find a
• 9:01
  believer that is saved, transformed, and empowered, your prayer and
• 9:08
  you're pleased that the person gets to a point where
• 9:10
  they become people of humility and character, are we blessed?
• 9:19
  Never forget again that I told you the church is
• 9:21
  where believers are methodically groomed. It's first and foremost a
• 9:27
  place where people encounter Jesus, the son of the Living God.
• 9:30
  There is no other name, the Bible declares under heaven
• 9:34
  given on to men by which we must be saved.
• 9:37
  No gimmick, no philosophy, sustains the power to save a man. Allelujah.
• 9:46
  It is faith in Jesus Christ. And it depends on
• 9:50
  what you believe about Jesus. This is not my message tonight.
• 9:55
  Not everything about Jesus saves you. I hope you know
• 9:59
  there are things things you believe about Jesus that does
• 10:02
  not equal salvation. For instance, believing Jesus was a good
• 10:07
  man does not bring salvation. Believing Jesus was the Capenter's
• 10:12
  son does not bring salvation. Believing Jesus was born of
• 10:16
  a virgin. You are right, but that.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Is not what is connected to salvation.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: There is there is an information about Jesus that is
• 10:25
  related to salvation. You must believe that he came as
• 10:30
  a reflection of the love of the Father. You must
• 10:33
  believe in his substitutionary sacrifice. Are we together now? Yes.
• 10:39
  You must believe in him as Savior, as Lord, and
• 10:43
  as King, that he was raised for a justification. This
• 10:47
  is the condition for salvation. There are many people who
• 10:51
  believe in Jesus. There are many religions that believe in Jesus.
• 10:55
  Out of the four thousand religions on earth or thereabout,
• 10:59
  there are at least more than half of them who
• 11:02
  have the idea of Jesus in their teachings. But that
• 11:07
  does not make them say. Just believing and agreeing that
• 11:11
  there is say Jesus does not bring you salvation. You
• 11:14
  must believe that he is Savior, his Lord, and King.
• 11:20
  Allelujah number two. The Bible is the only authorized Listen carefully.
• 11:29
  The Bible, in partnership with the Holy Spirit, is the
• 11:32
  only authorized platform for discipleship for transformation. No other material
• 11:40
  has the holistic capacity to transform a believer. You have
• 11:44
  to understand this. There are all kinds of books that
• 11:47
  capture in them expressions that are consistent with the Christian
• 11:51
  faith and may minister some semblance of transformation, but any
• 11:57
  transformation that will turn the believer to be Christ's must
• 12:00
  be referenced from Scripture. You have to understand this. This
• 12:04
  is doctrine. This is how believers become mature. It's my
• 12:08
  prayer that God would take away shadow boxing and immaturity
• 12:12
  from the body of Christ. We must be very methodical
• 12:15
  with our spiritual growth. Believers should get to a point
• 12:19
  where they understand the truths of Scripture, not as an
• 12:22
  opinion left to the idea of a man of God
• 12:26
  or a church. These things must be truth that are
• 12:29
  founded upon scripture. The gift and the blessing of having
• 12:34
  a Bible is to be able to help us the
• 12:37
  things that are written afore time. The Bible declares that
• 12:40
  they are for our learning, so that we, through the
• 12:42
  comfort of scripture, might find hope. I commend you to God,
• 12:47
  it says, and to the world of his grace, which
• 12:49
  is able to build you up and to give you
• 12:52
  an inheritance among them that are scientified.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: You focus on any extra biblity material.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: It may attempt to minister some level of information that
• 13:04
  makes for transformation, but only the Bible has that holistic
• 13:10
  capacity based on the information written. It is true that
• 13:15
  all we have here was not all that was written
• 13:18
  by the apostles. That is true. Bible history already told
• 13:21
  us that. But the Bible says many miracles did Jesus
• 13:25
  in the presence of his disciples which were not recorded
• 13:28
  in this book. So it's no news. Even the Bible
• 13:30
  acknowledges that there are other expressions that were not captured here.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: But he tells us this is sufficient to make you anything.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: God says, there is nothing you seek as far as
• 13:44
  life and Godliness is concerned. That scripture does not sustain
• 13:49
  the intelligence to give you. Are you learning now? I
• 13:52
  would never stop saying this till you get it, until
• 13:55
  Jesus comes prays the name of the Lord. Because you
• 13:58
  see reputation creates persuasion. When you continue to repeat again
• 14:03
  and again, then these things become the truths that are most.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Surely believed among us.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe let me say one more thing again, that every
• 14:14
  time you open the Bible, please listen and learn. Now
• 14:18
  the world of God has come. Every time you open scripture.
• 14:23
  There are three things that you are looking out for.
• 14:26
  Number one, you are looking for promises. Please say af
• 14:30
  time he promises. Every time you open scripture, what you
• 14:35
  are searching for are promises. Promises represent the boundary of
• 14:42
  God's commitment to the believer. As far as your earthwork
• 14:46
  is concerned. God is almighty, but the system of administering
• 14:51
  his love and his power is with respect to the
• 14:54
  provisions that scripture has allowed. God cannot bless a man
• 14:58
  outside of the allied ones that Scripture gives. Listen. This
• 15:02
  is very powerful because this is where if you do
• 15:07
  not understand this, eventually you will get into superstition. God
• 15:11
  can do many things all things, but the operation of
• 15:17
  Jesus Christ, as revealed from Scripture, is based on the
• 15:21
  truths of Scripture. That means, if you want to know
• 15:24
  how far God can go over your.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Life, find what he has said here.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: God is only committed to what he has said, not
• 15:33
  what you want. God is not committed to what you want.
• 15:37
  He's only committed to what you want if what you
• 15:40
  want is consistent with what He has said. If your
• 15:43
  needs have no provision here in scripture, then it will
• 15:47
  not come to us away blessed. Now Here in lies
• 15:51
  our confidence as mature believers. It is not longevity in
• 15:56
  church that makes for maturity, is the awareness that God
• 16:01
  does not lie. He is a God of integrity. He's
• 16:04
  also a God of ability. Are we together and that
• 16:06
  on the strength of the imutability of his counsel. If
• 16:10
  we can find what he said, then we can commit him.
• 16:14
  Please give us Genesis twenty one from verse one and two.
• 16:17
  Genesis twenty one from verse one and two. God only
• 16:20
  does what he said. And the Lord visited Sarah. Please
• 16:24
  read with me, one to read. And the Lord visited
• 16:27
  Sarah as he had said. And the Lord did unto Sarah,
• 16:33
  not as Sarah wanted. The Lord did not do to
• 16:37
  Sarah as she wanted. He did to Sarah as she said.
• 16:41
  Verse two, same scripture. For Sarah conceived and bear Abraham
• 16:46
  his son in his old age at the said time,
• 16:49
  which God had spoken. Listen carefully. This is already a
• 16:57
  deliverance for someone. That means every time you write a
• 17:01
  prayer request. Don't you think that because you pray, don't
• 17:05
  need you to be answered. The first requirement is that
• 17:08
  you must connect every request to the scripture that gives
• 17:12
  you a guarantee that God is. This is why scripture
• 17:16
  less prayer is useless prayer. It's just a dissipation of
• 17:20
  energy except if you are prayed in tones. When you
• 17:22
  are praying a wordless a prayer that is not worth based.
• 17:27
  There is no scriptural or platform for God to be committed.
• 17:30
  Listen to me. God is touched with the feelings of
• 17:33
  our infirmity, but he is moved by his word. Just
• 17:37
  because He has compassion towards you does not mean things
• 17:41
  will be sold. He himself has chosen to submit to
• 17:44
  his word, that he exalts his word above his name.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: If someone learning.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: This is sound doctrine, this is how believers become mature.
• 17:55
  All these superstitious things sometimes flying around is why a
• 17:58
  lot of people are puffed with knowledge that does not
• 18:01
  produce predictable spiritual results. There is nothing you can do
• 18:06
  against the truth, but for the truth are we learning.
• 18:18
  So the Bible contains promises. What has God said concerning me?
• 18:25
  God has spoken so many things concerning us. What has
• 18:29
  he said? It is your assignment to work in partnership
• 18:33
  with the Holy Spirit to find it. They are life
• 18:36
  to those who find them. They are life to those
• 18:40
  who find them. And those who find receive finding as
• 18:44
  a harvest for seeking, because the Bible says the law
• 18:49
  is that everyone that seekeret finded. Finding is not for
• 18:54
  men of God. Finding is not for those in ministry.
• 18:58
  Finding is for seek ers. You seek, you will find.
• 19:04
  I want to rise in life and destiny. Oh God,
• 19:07
  I know I can be a failure. What is your basis?
• 19:11
  Bring forth your strong reasons? What is your basis? I'm
• 19:18
  tired of suffering? No, no, that's not the basis for victory.
• 19:23
  What has the Bible said? The Bible says the path
• 19:26
  of the jobs, for instance, is as a shining light.
• 19:29
  Are you learning now that shines ever brighter onto the
• 19:33
  perfect day?
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: That becomes your scripture of defense?
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Father, On the basis of this truth and on the
• 19:41
  basis of your integrity, I place it demand for the
• 19:44
  performance of this scripture in my life. Now. That is
• 19:47
  how to pray the kind of prayer that produces result.
• 19:52
  Blind scripturerest lamentation will only the holiest goals will just
• 19:56
  come to comfort you because it's a comforter. But as
• 20:01
  far as the results, listen, listen. As far as the
• 20:04
  results are concerned, believe me, if you do not know
• 20:08
  how to engage scripture, you may live a frustrated Christian life.
• 20:15
  Are we together? So you find in scripture promises number two?
• 20:20
  What do you find every time you open scripture? Principles? Principles.
• 20:26
  The second thing you find in scripture are principles the
• 20:30
  modus operandi of the kingdom.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: This is how the kingdom operates.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Christianity operates based on a kingdom system, and every kingdom
• 20:41
  has rules of engagement. There is a way God behaves.
• 20:45
  There is a way, for instance, in Nigeria as a federation,
• 20:51
  and in many many nations across the world. There is
• 20:54
  a way that you want. If you want to approach
• 20:57
  the president or anyone in the presidency, there is a protocol.
• 21:01
  Is that true? If different states want to receive their subvention,
• 21:05
  there is a.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: System, a model soprandi.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: So if you become a governor or a commissioner of
• 21:11
  finance or whatever it is. You are enlightened and educated
• 21:15
  that as far as this territory is concerned, this is
• 21:18
  how you obtain the things that you need to obtain.
• 21:22
  Failure or to know it. You may have a territory
• 21:24
  that has the resources, but it may not reach you.
• 21:27
  Everybody say principles. Principles are called the secrets of the
• 21:32
  kingdom or the mysteries of the Kingdom.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Matthew thirteen and verse eleven.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: The Bible says Jesus was speaking, and here's what he said,
• 21:41
  because it is given onto you to know, to know
• 21:47
  the world knows. There is not just the word awareness.
• 21:50
  It's not may awareness. It's a level of intimacy. It's
• 21:54
  the same word that is used as a husband knowing
• 21:56
  his wife to know. To so interacts that you become
• 22:01
  one with the mysteries of the kingdom. What is a mystery?
• 22:05
  A mystery is a hidden body of truth that is
• 22:08
  prevy to a group of people. The military, for instance,
• 22:12
  they operate by mysteries they have how they talk. There
• 22:16
  is something that the military can say that if you
• 22:18
  are a civilian and you are not trained, you may
• 22:21
  not understand what they're saying. You would have to be
• 22:23
  trained in the military for that conversation to be fruitful
• 22:26
  to you. So in this kingdom, the Bible exposes us
• 22:32
  to the mysteries of the kingdom. I pray and I
• 22:35
  beseech you by the message of God, that you pay
• 22:37
  attention and take serious what I'm saying with you. These
• 22:41
  are the weapons of victory we have been given in
• 22:43
  this kingdom. There is no other way we command results
• 22:47
  outside of this.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: It is not one of the ways.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: It is the way.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: The mysteries of the kingdom. So when I open my Bible.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Hidden in stories, hidden in parables, hidden in riddles, hidden
• 23:10
  in the Psalms, the five books of Moses, all of
• 23:16
  them reveal Jesus the way. There is something in the
• 23:22
  pentatoge that reveals the character of Jesus. And the modus
• 23:27
  operandi of the kingdom are well together. When you go
• 23:30
  to the prophets major and minor, there are things you
• 23:33
  find the poetic books.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: There are revelations of.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Jesus that you find scattered across psalms is as spiritual
• 23:41
  protocols for accessing different dimensions of results. Proverbs comes to
• 23:46
  reveal the wisdom of the kingdom. As far as living
• 23:49
  and excelling its concern. You now go to the Gospels,
• 23:54
  where Jesus himself came as the manifestation of God. I've
• 23:58
  told you why Jesus came to earth. Jesus came to
• 24:02
  the earth not just to save us. His number one
• 24:05
  assignment when it came to the earth was as a
• 24:08
  correction of our idea about God, the God that people
• 24:12
  did not know because until then they had not seen
• 24:15
  him manifest bodily. So there were many ideas that the prophets.
• 24:20
  They depended on the interpretation of the prophets to know God.
• 24:24
  They couldn't have a personal relationship because the Holy Spirit
• 24:28
  was not given to all. It was Profet Joel that said,
• 24:30
  one day this formula for knowledge will be obsolete because
• 24:34
  the Holy Spirit will be pulled upon our flesh. And
• 24:37
  at that time He will give the fiightfold to mature
• 24:40
  the saints. But as far as personal relationship is concerned,
• 24:43
  that veil will be torn.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Are we together now?
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Are you learning? Yes? So when Jesus came, he came
• 24:52
  primarily as a correction of our idea.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: He came as a marching script.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: So that we now compare everything the prophets told us
• 25:03
  about him with the manifestation of Jesus. And look, you
• 25:06
  now see why the Father had to approve him before
• 25:10
  he started, because if the Father did not approve him,
• 25:13
  that meant that any other thing he did before the
• 25:16
  Father spoke we can't say is wrong. From the time
• 25:19
  the Father spoke till Jesus went to heaven, we know
• 25:22
  that everything he did was correct, because the Father spoke
• 25:25
  already that I am pleased with him. So when we
• 25:32
  see the Father say I have loved you with an
• 25:34
  everlasting love. I have drawn you with my kindness, we
• 25:37
  had a right to not believe the Father until we
• 25:40
  verify that statement. In the life of Jesus, did Jesus
• 25:43
  demonstrate the love of the Father such the scripture? So
• 25:47
  you find out that he showed compassion by feeding people physically,
• 25:52
  He showed compassion by feeding people spiritually. When he met
• 25:55
  a prostitute at the well, he did not throw high
• 25:58
  inside the well. Is that true? He sat down and
• 26:01
  had a conversation with her. When he met publicans and
• 26:04
  seen us, how did he behave? So we can now
• 26:08
  verify that God is love because Jesus manifested it once.
• 26:15
  Have I spoken twice? Have you heard that all power
• 26:19
  belongs to God. We have a right to say, God,
• 26:21
  you are a liar until we verify in the life
• 26:24
  of Jesus. Did we see the power of God demonstrated
• 26:27
  in the life of Jesus. Read your Bible. The Testament
• 26:30
  is there for your fetine. We see all kinds of
• 26:33
  signs and wonders, we sing songs. What manner of man
• 26:37
  is Jesus? He parted the sea, he did all sorts
• 26:39
  of things. So by the manifestation of the life of Jesus,
• 26:43
  we can safely conclude that God is all powerful because
• 26:48
  we do not see any impossibility that happened to Jesus
• 26:51
  except the time when he could not do any miracle.
• 26:54
  And the Bible took responsibility to tell us why If
• 26:57
  the Bible left us in darkness, we say, God, there
• 27:00
  is something you cannot do. But the Bible tells us
• 27:03
  that the reason why Jesus could not do this is
• 27:05
  because of their own belief.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: That he himself marveled at their own belief and the Bible.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Paul himself was bothressing on that and said, they still
• 27:17
  remain a rest for the people of God. Even though
• 27:20
  they are the people of God. They have not entered
• 27:22
  their sabbath. What was the limitation that they heard the
• 27:25
  word just like we did, but the word did not
• 27:27
  profit them.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Why not mixed with faith?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: What is faith? Your conviction and the corresponding action you
• 27:34
  take to honor that conviction. They did not act on
• 27:37
  what they heard. Faith is the name given to the
• 27:41
  action you take based on your conviction on who God
• 27:45
  is and the integrity of his person. The name given
• 27:48
  to the action, not just the believing. They could not
• 27:53
  enter his rest. And He encourages us. He says today,
• 27:57
  if you hear his voice, do not harden your heart
• 28:00
  like they did in the wilderness. It says, there remain
• 28:03
  at a rest, a sabbath for the people of God.
• 28:08
  Are you still in church? So when you open the Bible,
• 28:11
  can I tell you this? This is the reason why
• 28:14
  believers who do not study the Bible believe us, who
• 28:18
  do not listen to teachings, Believers who do not engage
• 28:23
  in the ministry of the world will not only be
• 28:26
  the first to be deceived, they will be the first
• 28:28
  to be destroyed. Because there is no basis for your security.
• 28:40
  Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every
• 28:43
  word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. It's
• 28:48
  God already speaking to someone. If I stop here tonight,
• 28:52
  I'm still satisfied promises principles. Why do we fail in life?
• 29:04
  Largely because of Palm eighty two and verse five. They
• 29:09
  know not, neither will they understand. The limitation is not
• 29:15
  God's ability. The limitation is knowledge. They know not neither
• 29:20
  will they understand. They walk on in You now see
• 29:24
  why the worship team was shouting it as our faces
• 29:27
  that they must be light tonight. And I agree with them.
• 29:30
  They must be light over your destiny in the name
• 29:32
  of Jesus. Listen, believe us. Listen. Get tired of ignorance,
• 29:38
  get tired of shadow boxing. You must be able to
• 29:42
  know with exactitude the spiritual principles that are connected to
• 29:46
  the outcomes you desire. This is what mastery is about
• 29:49
  in the Kingdom, and the Bible says he that strives
• 29:52
  for mastery is not crowned except his strives lawfully. Nobody
• 29:58
  wins the Olympic by miss. Everybody who gets to that
• 30:02
  final round of the Olympic was a champion in his
• 30:05
  own nation.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Yet someone still takes less in that race.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: That means the person was a champion, but not champion
• 30:13
  enough at a global scale. So don't just say you
• 30:17
  are better than someone because you have two serious Christians
• 30:21
  around and you are the one teaching them.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: By what reference do you think you are serious?
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: They're comparing themselves with themselves. The Bible says, are not wise.
• 30:33
  You must raise a high spiritual bar. Can I tell
• 30:40
  you this, Those who win the hundred meters race are
• 30:44
  never trained with hundred meters. No, if you want to
• 30:48
  win hundred meters, you train.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: He wants star till you just like him.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: He won't star.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: He won't star till you're live life looks like him,
• 31:02
  till won't stop. He won't stop till my life looks
• 31:08
  like him. You may not like what I'm saying now,
• 31:12
  But brothers and sisters, when the world begins to make you,
• 31:16
  one day you will look at your life and you
• 31:17
  will need a telescope to look at you yesterday, the
• 31:21
  difference between yesterday and today, and you will stand among
• 31:25
  the overcomers. I can tell you how men are made.
• 31:28
  Men are not made.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: By giving useless information.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: They are made by the world John one, verse three,
• 31:35
  And nothing without him was not anything made that was made.
• 31:44
  So we have prophecy. We have principles. The third thing
• 31:51
  you find in Scripture are prophecies. The first promises, second principles.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Three p the third prophecies.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Prophecies give you an idea of the end. We need
• 32:11
  to know what tomorrow looks like. We need to know
• 32:14
  what the end looks like. That is the cure for fear.
• 32:18
  People only fear when it is unknown. Scripture has already
• 32:22
  told us the end of the story. Vote for your
• 32:25
  destiny and for our time here, so we can find
• 32:28
  comfort based on scripture. As a child of God. You
• 32:32
  know number one that you will finish well. What is
• 32:35
  the basis of your confidence? Jeremiah twenty nine and verse eleven.
• 32:39
  I know the thoughts that I think towards you. Say it.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: The Lord God is speaking, Your situation is speaking.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: You can choose who you believe saying the Lord thoughts
• 32:50
  of peace are not of evil. To give you an
• 32:54
  expected end. So it already prophetically tells you that God
• 33:00
  already knows that you have an expected end. And then
• 33:04
  at the end of time we know how these things
• 33:06
  will be. I saw a new Earth and a new
• 33:09
  heaven for the old earth, and the old heaven had
• 33:12
  gone away. And then he came together with us to
• 33:15
  tabernacle in that city, Christ himself being the light of
• 33:18
  that city, we know the end of time.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: So with all the.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Confusion and all of these things, everything that is a
• 33:29
  breaking news is an old news based on scripture. The
• 33:33
  Bible already told us there will be wars, and there
• 33:36
  will be rumors of wars, for instance. But the Bible
• 33:39
  also tells us, nay, in all these things, you are
• 33:42
  more than conquered. So when we act confident in an
• 33:50
  uncertain world, we look like fools, except that our wisdom
• 33:54
  is superior because it comes from the authority of Scripture.
• 33:58
  There is prophecy that backs us. It gives us hope,
• 34:02
  and hope does not make a shame. You see how
• 34:07
  it is. So next time someone tells you I'm a
• 34:10
  matured Christian, tell him I would not argue with you.
• 34:15
  Number one, what is Christianity about? Who is Jesus? Why
• 34:21
  is he here? Anybody who cannot defend Jesus is not even
• 34:24
  born again, not even to talk of maturity. Number two,
• 34:28
  what are the weapons of victory that have been given
• 34:31
  to the believer? What a day? How can I know
• 34:35
  that my tomorrow is great? It's a terrible thing. To
• 34:38
  live in an uncertain world. Even at death, the Bible
• 34:41
  still tells us that we are victorious. It secures us
• 34:44
  all around. For me to live is Christ, and even
• 34:47
  in death it simply becomes for me a door to
• 34:50
  wear higher and a superior realm. So in any case
• 34:54
  we find comfort. Is that true? Yes?
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: So you don't hear death.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Why because in the Kingdom we call death sleeping, and
• 35:07
  they that sleep sleep at night. When you are sleeping
• 35:09
  in the afternoon, it's called siesta because you should waken.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: So they that sleep sleep at night. They use the
• 35:16
  day to walk.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I must walk the walks of Him that sent me
• 35:19
  while it is day. For the night comet when no
• 35:23
  man can walk. Why because at that night you sleep.
• 35:26
  And there are two ways to sleep in the Kingdom.
• 35:29
  Number one, you sleep in the mystery that we call death,
• 35:33
  or Jesus Christ comes to meet you. In any case,
• 35:36
  you have slept, he told John. He said, no, no, no,
• 35:41
  not everybody will taste of this death physically. But one
• 35:44
  thing for sure is those who have died and we
• 35:47
  who are live, who will all be changed. But the
• 35:49
  protocol is that those who have died in Christ will
• 35:51
  be giving that honor because they have tasted of this,
• 35:54
  so they will arise, and we who are alive and remain,
• 35:58
  the Bible says, will be caught up with him. That's
• 36:00
  first Thessalonians four or five. It says, comfort one another
• 36:05
  with this scripture. So all around, I'm just showing you
• 36:08
  the formidability of this faith life. Many spiritual practices do
• 36:16
  not have security above this realm. When you are gone,
• 36:20
  they just say, you have gone to all kinds of places,
• 36:22
  but we know where we are going to. Is that true?
• 36:34
  Why will you not want to come to Jesus with
• 36:36
  these kind of provisions? Your destiny, your future, your eternity,
• 36:44
  everything is secured in Christ. This is why Satan fights
• 36:48
  the gospel. Please pay attention. This is why Satan will
• 36:51
  do anything to make sure your loved ones are not saved.
• 36:55
  This is why Satan will do anything to make sure
• 36:58
  that you do not rise. Why Satan will do anything
• 37:01
  to make sure you don't have the prosperity. It takes
• 37:04
  for your comfort and for the god'sl Can I tell
• 37:07
  you this this is not to glorify Satan, but you see,
• 37:12
  you need to study how visionary Satan is. There is
• 37:15
  nothing that he does that is for itself. Everything he
• 37:18
  does is connected to one big goal, to stop the
• 37:24
  revelation of Jesus and the glorification of the same act. Satan,
• 37:29
  why do you fight prosperity, That's the same reason. Why
• 37:32
  do you fight the bodies of men? Same reason? Why
• 37:39
  should the woman not have a child? Satan does not
• 37:42
  have any business with a child. His concern is that
• 37:45
  anything captured in your life. Please pay attention. Anything captured
• 37:50
  in your life becomes Satan's business if he finds out
• 37:54
  that there is potential in it to reveal Jesus and
• 37:57
  to glorify Jesus. Let me repeat that means Satan has
• 38:02
  no business with your job. He has no business with
• 38:05
  your health, He has no business with your children. If
• 38:08
  he does not think there is something he needs to
• 38:10
  bring glory to the name of the Lord. The moment
• 38:13
  Satan finds out that there is something in your life
• 38:17
  that he suspects, he doesn't have to wait for you
• 38:20
  to be born again. He suspects that one day, with
• 38:23
  this talent you have, if you ever get born again,
• 38:26
  he will not wait until you get born again. He
• 38:28
  will begin to attack it. Satan is not motivated by
• 38:32
  many motivations. There's something you can learn from him. There
• 38:37
  is a singular motivation. He's motivated by one agenda to
• 38:43
  stop the revelation of Jesus Christ and to stop the
• 38:47
  glorification of the same. Can I tell you this, If
• 38:53
  God takes everything that can reveal him in us, Satan
• 38:57
  will pass you like this and you will beg him
• 38:59
  to come and you say no, He will go to
• 39:01
  look for where next that glory went to. So he's
• 39:04
  not just looking for you because of you. If you
• 39:06
  don't understand what I'm teaching, you don't even understand Tonight's
• 39:09
  teaching at all. Who am I offended that my life
• 39:21
  is like that? You will stop that kind of statement
• 39:23
  after revelation like this? You see that now because listen, listen.
• 39:28
  I'm not saying those who say that are bad. But
• 39:30
  that's why you came to church. The church is a
• 39:32
  place of enlightenment. The condition for an attack is that
• 39:39
  when Satan finds out that you were created in the
• 39:42
  image and the likeness of God.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: I say, baby, he pursued children. You are an adult.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Satan pursued children who could not beg they could not talk,
• 39:53
  They could only sob breasts say kill them don't wait
• 39:56
  until they grow. Every child was created in the emai
• 40:00
  of God. And I know that one day if that
• 40:03
  prophet and apostle and everybody arises were in trouble, and
• 40:09
  now you have become an adult, you can use your
• 40:11
  will in partnership with the Holy gooes.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: It will not let you go easily. Ah, but thanks
• 40:16
  be to God.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: But thanks be to God, which causes us all ways
• 40:23
  to trial. There will be no need for all the
• 40:29
  arsenals that are given to the believer to make for
• 40:31
  victory experientially, if there was no adversary who is timing
• 40:38
  to destroy us? The Bible says John chapter ten and
• 40:41
  verse ten. It says the thief comment not but for
• 40:44
  to steal to kill John ten ten. The thief commeent
• 40:50
  not but for Do you know what this means? My goodness?
• 40:56
  Do you know that I've not even started well when
• 40:58
  in George God is speaking.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: If this is all I say, will close the Bible.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: And discuss it next week. But I have to drum
• 41:04
  this thing because this is how to grow. Are you
• 41:07
  getting blessed? The thief comet not just let's deal with
• 41:12
  those first forwards.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: That means you have no business seeing the thief.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: If there is nothing that is worth stealing, nothing that
• 41:19
  is worth killing, nothing that is worth destroying. You get
• 41:22
  the idea now. That means the thief is so selfish.
• 41:26
  If you ever see him, he comes to you as
• 41:29
  a verification that there is something in your life that is.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Worth's stealing, killing, and destroying.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Every time you see it and come around you, he
• 41:37
  has already confirmed to you that you are not ordinary.
• 41:40
  This is what the Bible is saying. Hear me. That
• 41:45
  means if without engaging the weapons of victory, you are
• 41:49
  free from Satan, it means something is wrong with you. Your
• 41:53
  freedom should not come from any negotiation with him. Your
• 41:56
  freedom should come by super imposing dominion. That means, if
• 42:00
  Satan seize you without engaging the weapons of victory, he
• 42:04
  should attach you.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: That is proof that you were created in the image
• 42:07
  of God.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: There are many people who are not facing any attack
• 42:14
  because they are cold, they're lazy, they're own serious. They
• 42:17
  have checked you and found out that you don't have
• 42:19
  any relevance as first kingdom comes concerned.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: It's not because you are first.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: You are not praying, you are not fasting, you don't
• 42:25
  know the Lord, you are not serious.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: And yet you are not attacked. Don't be flattered.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: The devil has found that he's focusing on those who
• 42:32
  can come and save you before he comes to you.
• 42:42
  I was glad when they said, unto me, you see
• 42:46
  that church is a good place. It truly is. Please
• 42:52
  it them. So the thief comment not, but for to
• 42:57
  still please give it to us again to kill and
• 43:00
  to destroy. Jesus contrasts and says, I am calm that
• 43:06
  they may have, and they may have it more. Look up,
• 43:13
  there is a difference between life and abundant life.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Oh what is getting me into this thing?
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: This night? Life and abundant life. Listen carefully, by the way, well,
• 43:27
  since this is coinonia, let me just caution you lovingly
• 43:30
  over some of these blind shouts that sometimes when the
• 43:34
  world of God is coming, the energy it takes to
• 43:37
  receive is the same energy you are wasting and unnecessarily
• 43:41
  shouting there is Listen.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: I won't say this anyway.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: This is this is home, and God is training us
• 43:47
  away together. Yes, we must be thoroughly furnished. Sometimes I'm not.
• 43:52
  I don't mean to insult you, but just listen to it.
• 43:56
  If it's to laugh when it's laughable, all of us know,
• 43:59
  but some of these shout. Most times, people who do
• 44:02
  these things are not getting it. I'm saying most times,
• 44:08
  not all the time. And please don't feel bad. I'm not.
• 44:11
  I'm not.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: This is a family.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: No one condemns anyone, but it's just a It's just
• 44:16
  an honest, honest word of caution. Mhm allelujah prays the
• 44:30
  name of the Lord. M hm am, I saying, well,
• 44:38
  is that her majesty? I'm so sorry. Please let's celebrate
• 44:42
  her majesty. The wife of the oulu of worry. God
• 44:45
  bless you. Hallelujah prays the name of the Lord. My
• 44:51
  sincere apologies. Yes, they're part of us. Were family. Is
• 44:57
  good to hear this kind of thing and turn any
• 45:02
  kingdom to faith, subdued kingdoms, praise the Lord. Are we together? God?
• 45:08
  Bless you man, Thank you in such and honor to
• 45:10
  have you around. Where was I?
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: I was questioning?
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: I was questioning and calling for diligence as the word
• 45:22
  of God. Listen, two people acted this way in Jesus's days.
• 45:27
  Mary and Martha. Is it in your bible? Remember the
• 45:31
  things that are written a full time there for our learning.
• 45:36
  Martha was running around doing all kinds of things, and
• 45:39
  she was not getting it. Mary sat quietly and was listening.
• 45:43
  Here's what Jesus said, math Martha. You are worried and
• 45:46
  offended about so many things, but it says this one thing,
• 45:51
  one thing is needful, and this Mary has chosen to
• 45:54
  sit down at the Master's feet. Now, please look up.
• 45:58
  Because it is true that this kingdom operates by knowledge.
• 46:03
  Number one, because it is true that you were created
• 46:07
  in the image and the likeness of God. Number three,
• 46:10
  because it is true that there is an adversary and
• 46:13
  the Bible is not silent about him. God decided to
• 46:17
  invent a formula to ensure that believers remain victorious. And
• 46:22
  that formula is the world of God, in partnership with
• 46:27
  the Holy Spirit, in partnership with gifts, men and women
• 46:33
  of God who He has sent. Are we together now? Yes,
• 46:37
  that when God grants you access to a spiritual family.
• 46:42
  God grants you access to spiritual voices. God gots you
• 46:47
  access to scripture. He grants you access to the Holy Spirit.
• 46:53
  He has supplied to you the weapons of victory, the
• 47:00
  women of God into pre scripture. They instruct you. According
• 47:03
  to Jeremiah three fifteen in knowledge and in wisdom. That
• 47:08
  is their assignment to feed you, to give you that
• 47:12
  spiritual nourishment. Are we together, So they give you understanding,
• 47:18
  They give you knowledge. The Word of God opens you up.
• 47:21
  The Holy Spirit comes to pack you. Among the many
• 47:24
  things that the Holy Spirit does, he is the custodian
• 47:28
  and the administrator of the anointing. Everything that has to
• 47:31
  do with the anointing is in the office of the
• 47:34
  Holy Spirit. What is the assignment of the anointing. I've
• 47:39
  taught you here. The assignment of the anointing is to
• 47:42
  insist that the word of God does not look like
• 47:44
  a lie. So if there is no word that proceeds,
• 47:48
  the anointing has no ministry. The assignment of the anointing
• 47:52
  is to validate the claims of Jesus as revealed in scripture.
• 47:57
  So when the Bible says God here is now, the
• 48:00
  anointing comes to prove that that statement is true. If
• 48:04
  God says I am able to lift men, you see
• 48:07
  why the anointing follows the world. This is the biblic
• 48:14
  count strategy for administering the anointing. There must be a
• 48:18
  statement that you must put on ground first. Something the
• 48:22
  Bible says should be done. Then the anointing you can
• 48:25
  backon on the Holy Spirit. Now, just dispensing the anointing
• 48:30
  without a scriptural basis, the devil will easily steal into
• 48:33
  that atmosphere and delve people into superstition and all kinds
• 48:37
  of extra biblical manifestations. And there are sincere and well
• 48:41
  meaning people who are victims of this. Why because they
• 48:45
  were not methodically disciple. They were not methodically mentored. Allelujah.
• 48:55
  So everything that we share week in week out, among others,
• 49:00
  the factors spiritual arsenals.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: That are equipping you.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Why are they equipping you so that number one, you
• 49:08
  have enlightenment knowledge, but number two so that you will
• 49:11
  know how to use these tools that have been given
• 49:15
  to produce results. Why are your results important? John chapter
• 49:20
  fifteen and verse eight. John Chapter fifteen and verse eight.
• 49:26
  This is why you need results in your life. Here
• 49:29
  it is My Father glorified that ye bear much fruit,
• 49:33
  So shall ye be my disciples. Why do you need
• 49:38
  results in your life? Matthew Chapter five from verse thirteen,
• 49:41
  the Bible says you are the salt of the earth.
• 49:43
  It says, is that true? The salt of the earth.
• 49:46
  That means you add value, and you preserve your territory.
• 49:50
  You are sault. You need that result. It then says
• 49:53
  that you are the light of the world. The definition
• 49:57
  of darkness is the world without you. You are the
• 50:00
  light of the world. There are names that are exclusive
• 50:04
  to God alone. Man cannot claim that name. But when
• 50:07
  it has to do with light, both God and man
• 50:10
  are light. There are names that He freely shares with us.
• 50:15
  One of it is he is the Son of God.
• 50:19
  We are sons of God. One of it is His light.
• 50:22
  We are light? Are we blessed? Do you know why
• 50:30
  I believe the Holy Spirit just took me this route,
• 50:33
  because everything that we teach in this house, by God's grace,
• 50:38
  must be seen with respect to all the things that aforementioned.
• 50:42
  When you begin to teach believers mysteries in the kingdom
• 50:46
  that are not connected to a larger body of truth,
• 50:49
  this is where carnality comes in. For instance, if you
• 50:54
  begin to teach on things like maybe say wealth and prosperity,
• 50:58
  you begin to teach on things like carry our destiny
• 51:00
  and the rest teaching it.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: In isolation to kingdom.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: Come Teaching it in isolation to the revelation of Jesus
• 51:07
  will only feel the existing lost in many people. You
• 51:13
  see why some of these teachings seem to destroy. But
• 51:16
  when it is brought in perspective, then you see that
• 51:21
  Jesus is glorified, Jesus is revealed. Allelujah. Can we teach
• 51:28
  tonight now, Father, open my eyes and let me see.
• 51:33
  Please lift your voice and pray.
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: For the way after the Lord is the way of
• 51:54
  For the way of the Lord is the way. Ah
• 52:00
  love with.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Allelujah, praise the name of the Lord. I felt very
• 52:15
  strongly stirred by the way. A series on the various graces.
• 52:19
  There's one more left on love, but I suspended it
• 52:23
  because there is another series that you will be a
• 52:25
  part of. There is a grace that can cause men
• 52:30
  to love God and to love men. It is a
• 52:34
  grace that is at work in this house. But will
• 52:39
  leave it and attach it to another series that is coming.
• 52:43
  Is that true tonight? Very briefly, and then we'll pray.
• 52:46
  I'm teaching on the spiritual pathway to greatness.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: Please, I pray that you pay attention.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: This is a very powerful teaching that will be relevant
• 52:59
  both for you, your loved ones, and those who are
• 53:03
  connected to you.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: It is important that we learn the ways of God.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: The Bible says that in the last days, when the
• 53:11
  mountain of the Lord is lifted above every other mountain
• 53:14
  and every hill is says nations who come, and men
• 53:17
  will say, come, let us go to the mount of
• 53:19
  the Lord, the house of Jacob, and he will teach
• 53:23
  us his ways, the spiritual pathway to greatness. The Bible
• 53:31
  clearly tells us that everybody has a great destiny in Christ.
• 53:43
  Everyone born of God, and everyone currently walking upon this
• 53:49
  earth right now has a great.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Destiny in Christ.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: In Hebrews chapter ten and verse seven, Hebrews Chapter ten
• 53:58
  and verse seven, Paul was speaking, and he made a
• 54:03
  quotation that was referring to Jesus, but then by extension
• 54:07
  to his church and to believers in general, then said,
• 54:11
  I lo, I come in the volume of the book,
• 54:15
  as it is written of me, to do Thy will
• 54:18
  or God. That means there is no such thing as
• 54:21
  happenstance or mistakes. That everybody who came has something connected
• 54:27
  to their lives and their destinies.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: As far as God, God's.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: Pretty determinate counsel is concerned, no one walking on the
• 54:35
  earth is useless. No one working on the earth regardless
• 54:38
  how you are right here, provided you made it here,
• 54:42
  there is an allocation as fas as destiny is concerned
• 54:46
  for you. If you're with me, say amen, this is
• 54:51
  very important. The Bible lets us know that in Christ
• 54:58
  that we can have great destinyiness, and that greatness is
• 55:02
  the heritage of the saints, not just godliness, but greatness.
• 55:07
  These are some of the benefits and the provisions that
• 55:11
  we have as sons in light. The heritage of greatness
• 55:16
  is our best right. The heritage of greatness is God's
• 55:20
  desire for every single one of us. Are we together?
• 55:24
  Philippians chapter three, Please let's read from verse thirteen and fourteen.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: Philippians Chapter three.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: From verse thirteen and fourteen, lets us know we have
• 55:36
  a great destiny. I count not myself to have apprehended,
• 55:39
  he says, But this one thing I do forgetting the
• 55:42
  things that are behind, I reach forth to those things
• 55:45
  that are before. Uhhah. I press towards the mark of
• 55:50
  the price of the high calling. Apostle Paul says that
• 55:58
  he has a high calling.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: His calling is not an ordinary calling.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: His calling is a high calling of God in Christ Jesus,
• 56:08
  everyone says, have a high calling. One more time, says,
• 56:11
  have a high calling. That means there is nothing ordinary
• 56:17
  about your life and my life, as.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: Far as destiny is concerned.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: How about the heritage of greatness Genesis chapter twenty six
• 56:27
  and verse thirteen. Genesis chapter twenty six and verse thirteen.
• 56:33
  He says, and the man works great, Say amen, and
• 56:37
  went forward, say man again, and crew until he became
• 56:43
  very great. A version says, and he began to be great.
• 56:50
  That means there was a day he was not the
• 56:54
  man works great. He went forward, he crew until he
• 57:01
  became very great. Why because Isaac was coming from Abraham,
• 57:06
  and there was that covenant of greatness Genesis seventeen and
• 57:09
  verse six. Genesis seventeen and verse six. Our heritage of
• 57:16
  greatness and unenviable destiny in Christ, I will make the
• 57:21
  exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of these. Amen,
• 57:27
  and kings shall come out of you. This is a promise.
• 57:33
  Now you see, whilst you hear the Holy Spirit reveal
• 57:36
  this to you, you are tempted and even manipulated by
• 57:40
  the devil to think of your background, and you're looking
• 57:43
  at where you're coming from. You're looking at all the
• 57:45
  things that have happened in and around your life. And
• 57:49
  like Nathaniel, you can say about yourself like you said
• 57:53
  about Jesus. Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Let's
• 57:57
  set a scripture in Psalm seventy one and verse twenty one.
• 58:05
  The Bible even tells us that not only does God
• 58:08
  desire for us to be great, but that the greatness
• 58:11
  is given us can still increase.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: It says, thou shall increase.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: My greatness and comfort me on every side. So we
• 58:21
  are examining the spiritual pathway.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: Haven't established the fact.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: That we have a high calling and we have an
• 58:29
  enviable destiny in Christ. We have established the fact that
• 58:33
  it is not seen and it is not Antichrist and
• 58:36
  anti good for the saints in light to desire greatness
• 58:40
  because God put it in everyone to be great? Is
• 58:44
  that true? Hallelujah. Genesis chapter twelve, verse one and two.
• 58:52
  This is the beginning of the encounter that Abraham, who
• 58:58
  was an idol worshiper from all of the Childians, he
• 59:02
  would meet the God of the Hebrews, who would later
• 59:04
  become his God, and have a covenant with him that
• 59:07
  would become the basis for the coming of Jesus and
• 59:11
  even our Redemption twelve, verse one and two. Now the
• 59:15
  Lord had said, onto Abram, get THEE out of thy country,
• 59:20
  from thy kindred, from thy father's house, onto a land
• 59:25
  that I will show you. If you love Jesus, read
• 59:27
  verse two with me ready, read, and I will make
• 59:30
  of THEE a great nation. Uhah. And I will bless
• 59:35
  THEE and make thy name great, and thou shalt be
• 59:40
  a blessing. Just stop there, as at the time he
• 59:45
  was telling Abraham this, it had not yet happened to him.
• 59:48
  This was a prophetic word tied to conditions that if met,
• 59:52
  will release and actualize this world.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: Are we together now?
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: So he's telling Abraham, I know you are an idol worshiper,
• 59:59
  and you have your house, your family. But I have
• 1:00:02
  chosen to call you now. When you study from scripture,
• 1:00:05
  the first person that was called was not really Abraham.
• 1:00:08
  It was his father Terror. But the father did not
• 1:00:11
  meet the condition that made for this blessing. And now
• 1:00:14
  God comes to call Abraham, come out of your father's house,
• 1:00:20
  Come out of all of these places, because this is
• 1:00:22
  what I want to do. This is your destiny. I
• 1:00:25
  want to make up THEE a great nation. I want
• 1:00:28
  to bless you. I want to make your name great.
• 1:00:31
  Thou shalt be a blessing. In fact, let's read verse three,
• 1:00:34
  verse three, please give it to us. It says, I
• 1:00:36
  will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that
• 1:00:40
  curseth thee. There is a revelation here I want you
• 1:00:42
  to learn. For every one person who causes you, there
• 1:00:45
  are many them who blesses who bless you. You see
• 1:00:49
  the ratio. I will them that bless you him that
• 1:00:53
  courts you. There are always more people willing to bless
• 1:00:58
  you and partner with God over your life than one
• 1:01:00
  person who may want to cost you.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: So if the person in your village.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: Is one, we are here, the family is here, the
• 1:01:07
  angels are here, and in the shall all the families
• 1:01:14
  of the earth be blessed. Now you may be tempted
• 1:01:16
  to say that this is just for Abraham, but Paul
• 1:01:19
  gave us perspective in his Pauline Epistle that when God
• 1:01:23
  made this promise, it was through Abraham and his seed,
• 1:01:26
  d that seed being Christ. And Galatians chapter three and
• 1:01:30
  verse twenty nine says, and if ye be Christ's, then
• 1:01:33
  are ye Abraham's seed and heirs? According to the promise,
• 1:01:39
  that means what he told Abraham through Christ can become
• 1:01:43
  our reality. You see the connection. Now it is from
• 1:01:46
  Abraham through Christ. Now it is our reality. So greatness
• 1:01:51
  is our destiny. And when I say greatness, I don't
• 1:01:54
  mean some of this kernel poss you for greatness that
• 1:01:57
  has no kingdom perspective. Remember that we already gave it
• 1:02:00
  background tonight that everything that we seek and everything that
• 1:02:04
  we communicate.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: It is the whole counsel of God.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: But it is with respect to the revelation of Jesus
• 1:02:10
  and the glorification of the same. He says, an eye,
• 1:02:13
  if I be lifted from the heath, I will draw
• 1:02:15
  all men. Is that true? And I've shared with you
• 1:02:18
  that one of the ways that God gets glory is
• 1:02:21
  by glorifying the sons. Every father is glorified when his
• 1:02:25
  sons are glorified.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: John seventeen and verse one.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: Jesus lifted up his eyes onto heaven, and he prayed
• 1:02:32
  a prayer, and he said, Father, the hour is come.
• 1:02:36
  Here is the protocol for God being glorified, glorified thy son,
• 1:02:41
  that thy son may glorify thee. So if the sons
• 1:02:45
  are not glorified, the father cannot be glorified. This is
• 1:02:48
  the principle of shared dominion. The Father does not glorify himself.
• 1:02:54
  His glory comes from the excelling of the Son. The
• 1:02:57
  Son does not glorify himself. His glory comes from the
• 1:03:00
  excelling of the Church. In partnership with the Holy Spirit,
• 1:03:03
  the Church cannot glorify herself. How glory comes from her
• 1:03:07
  dominion over the cosmos, principalities and powers inclusive. So everyone
• 1:03:12
  in the care that has the glory that they receive.
• 1:03:17
  Dominion over creation is how the glory of the Church
• 1:03:20
  is revealed. The dominion of the Church is how in
• 1:03:24
  partnership with the Holy Spirit is how the Sun is glorified.
• 1:03:28
  And in the glorification of the Son, the Father is glorified.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: No confusion.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: This is the protocol have we learned today. But there
• 1:03:40
  is a biblical pathway and I'll be very fast over this,
• 1:03:43
  so that will pray. Many believers do not know that
• 1:03:48
  there is a protocol to greatness. They desire to be
• 1:03:52
  great in ministry, they desire to be great in business,
• 1:03:55
  in career, and so on and so forth. And for
• 1:03:58
  many people we just guess and shadow box our way,
• 1:04:02
  and we are not able to attain that level of
• 1:04:05
  spiritual efficiency to rise so that we can do much
• 1:04:09
  for the kingdom. Now, in your desire to be great,
• 1:04:15
  the first information I want to bring very quickly tonight
• 1:04:18
  is that with respect to greatness, there are two principal
• 1:04:22
  seasons in the life of everyone with respect to greatness.
• 1:04:28
  With respect to the subject of greatness, there are two
• 1:04:32
  principal seasons in the life.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: Two principal seasons.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: Are you ready? The season number one is called the
• 1:04:39
  season of preparation.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: Please write it down.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: The first season that every believer in Christ who desires
• 1:04:47
  to do much for the kingdom, especially at this end
• 1:04:50
  times there is no instant manifestation in the kingdom. The
• 1:04:57
  season of preparation. Please pay attention to the things you'll
• 1:05:03
  be learning the season of preparation. It is important for
• 1:05:16
  you to know that if you are not prepared for
• 1:05:20
  anything on the day of manifestation, you will fail.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: Is that true?
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: Even in our human context. There are students who prepare
• 1:05:32
  for exams and they excel. There are people who have
• 1:05:38
  to prepare for interviews for promotion. And if they prepare
• 1:05:43
  and they do write the interview or whatever it is,
• 1:05:45
  in whatever form, the interview comes. When they excel, they
• 1:05:48
  are promoted, and then the increase in rank.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: That is how it is also in the Kingdom.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: Two major seasons very quickly, the season of preparation. Now
• 1:05:59
  there are three faces under this season.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: I want to rush very quickly.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: There are three faces under this season of preparation. The
• 1:06:08
  first phase is called the face of discovery. Please pay attention.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: The face of discovery. You will never be able.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: To actualize destiny and you will never be able to
• 1:06:22
  work in the fullness of your call until you go
• 1:06:28
  through this phase of discovery. Please look up. Many people
• 1:06:34
  violate this phase of discovery, and yet they want to
• 1:06:39
  be mightily used by God. Yet they want to become
• 1:06:42
  influences and references across territories. It does not happen that way.
• 1:06:47
  This is the spiritual protocol, non negotiable, no exceptions. The
• 1:06:52
  season of preparation, and the first phase in that season
• 1:06:59
  is the season of discovery. And we steal together. What
• 1:07:04
  do you discover? Number one? Your first discovery in life,
• 1:07:09
  if you want to be great, is to discover God.
• 1:07:17
  Discovery God, God Almighty. That encounter with the God of
• 1:07:24
  the Bible is the first thing. Anybody who wants to
• 1:07:28
  be great the Kingdom's way. You must go through that
• 1:07:31
  phase of discovery. Hear me. The first thing you discover
• 1:07:37
  is not the family you come from. In order of importance,
• 1:07:41
  the first thing you discover. People discover all kinds of things,
• 1:07:45
  but God. The scriptural basis for this is found in
• 1:07:51
  Genesis one, verse one, in the beginning God. That is
• 1:07:55
  the spiritual protocol Genesis one, verse one in the beginning,
• 1:08:00
  the first forwards recorded in the Bible.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: In the beginning of anything, you.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: Start with God in the beginning of business, God in
• 1:08:09
  the beginning of ministry, God in the beginning of marriage
• 1:08:13
  and a home, God in the beginning of parenting.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: When you violate that formula, you.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: Have compromised on greatness God's way. Now you can route
• 1:08:24
  greatness through some other formula and then face the consequences
• 1:08:28
  of the side effects that come with them.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: Are we learning now in the beginning?
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: Now, most times people involve God, but he does not
• 1:08:41
  take that first place. We add him like you are
• 1:08:44
  putting salt in soup, and we just add him. Go okay, God,
• 1:08:48
  so you don't harass me. Okay, you are here. No.
• 1:08:51
  The protocol is that he must be the author or
• 1:08:55
  the wise He cannot be the finisher. If it's not
• 1:08:57
  the author, he will not be the finisher. Are we
• 1:09:00
  together now? Yes? In the beginning, God, so you discover God.
• 1:09:06
  We see this in the life of Moses. I wish
• 1:09:08
  I had time, but I want us to pray. But
• 1:09:11
  just write for a reference in Exodus chapter three, from
• 1:09:15
  verse one to fifteen. Exodus chapter three. The text for
• 1:09:18
  this is one to fifteen. But give us verse thirteen
• 1:09:21
  for the sake of time. The Bible tells us about
• 1:09:25
  this Hebrew boy who was saved from death, and then
• 1:09:28
  he ran away from Egypt and was at the backside
• 1:09:31
  of the mountain tending Jeed throw his father in lordship.
• 1:09:36
  And then he is open to an encounter. Before he
• 1:09:40
  discovered any other thing, he discovered God, the God of
• 1:09:45
  the Hebrews. Moses said, behold, when I come to the
• 1:09:50
  children of Israel, and shall say to them, the God
• 1:09:54
  of our fathers had sent me to you, And they
• 1:09:56
  shall say onto me, what is his name? What shall
• 1:09:59
  I say to them? Very good question? And God said
• 1:10:03
  unto Moses that hey, what hey, yahweh I am that
• 1:10:10
  I am? And he said, toss shall you tell them?
• 1:10:16
  It is true that they want to be delivered. But
• 1:10:20
  this is what I desire. I desire that they know me.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: I Am has sent you.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: Are we together? So the first thing you have to
• 1:10:31
  discover is God. Most people don't pay attention to God.
• 1:10:35
  Can I tell you this in your spiritual training with God?
• 1:10:39
  Let me give you an advice and you can use
• 1:10:41
  this as a template to mentor other believers. When you
• 1:10:45
  are starting with believers, don't start teaching them things about
• 1:10:50
  success prosperity when you really want to match up believers.
• 1:10:54
  This is the way God led us. This is the
• 1:10:56
  way God led our fathers. This is the way God
• 1:10:59
  led people from When you meet God, he does not
• 1:11:02
  talk about any other thing yet himself until he reveals himself.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: So when you are training believers.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: You must take the dedicated time to.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: Expose them to God.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: Everything God, passion for God, fire for God. Then when
• 1:11:21
  that foundation of God is settled, you can now begin
• 1:11:25
  to delve into other subjects. If you compromise this, you're
• 1:11:28
  going to have people who are lopsided in their growth.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: The formula is in the beginning God.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: The first thing you discover is God number two for
• 1:11:39
  the sake of time, the second discovery is yourself.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: The second discovery is yourself. Now that you.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: Have discovered God, you can discover yourself.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: If you do not know who you are, you are.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: Sinnaj taught us in our song that if you don't
• 1:12:05
  know who you are, there are many things you'll not
• 1:12:08
  be able to work in. You cannot work in power,
• 1:12:11
  you cannot work in miracles, you cannot live a life
• 1:12:14
  of favor. Why you don't know who you are? The
• 1:12:23
  nation of Israel forgot their identity, that they were a
• 1:12:27
  covenant people, and when they were sent to once by
• 1:12:30
  the land, they came back with an evil report. They
• 1:12:33
  said we were like grasshoppers. God didn't say it, Satan
• 1:12:37
  didn't say it. They said it to themselves. It's not
• 1:12:39
  like Satan said, repeat after me, you are grasshoppers. We
• 1:12:42
  are grasshoppers. No, no, by themselves, they call themselves grasshoppers.
• 1:12:51
  I'm working in power, working in miracles, and live a
• 1:12:57
  life of favor. I'm working in power. I live a
• 1:13:09
  life of favor. Very important. You must know who you are.
• 1:13:19
  We're teaching our school of ministry, and there is a
• 1:13:23
  course where we teach the students who you are? You know?
• 1:13:26
  And I teach them in that course that there is
• 1:13:29
  something called identity crisis. Let's borrow two minutes of the lecture.
• 1:13:34
  There is something called identity crisis. You know what identity
• 1:13:37
  crisis is. Identity crisis is the resultant effect of not
• 1:13:43
  comprehending your worth the moment you do not know who
• 1:13:47
  you are the devil and men and this bedeviled world
• 1:13:51
  who paint a picture that you are not. There are
• 1:13:56
  many people today who are under needless pressure try to
• 1:14:00
  be who and what they are not It's not in
• 1:14:02
  the blueprint of their destiny because I taught you here. Remember,
• 1:14:06
  I don't know what discussion we're having when I taught
• 1:14:09
  you that. Psychologically speaking, there are certain indies that measure fulfillment.
• 1:14:13
  Is that true? Yes. One of it is security, another
• 1:14:18
  is variety, one of it is growth, another is love
• 1:14:22
  and acceptance. There is a craving in the human nature
• 1:14:26
  for love and acceptance. And chances are that if you
• 1:14:30
  have not stayed with the world, are we together now? Yes,
• 1:14:35
  Like Bishop David Ripo will say, to find out your
• 1:14:39
  picture from scripture, to be able to find out this
• 1:14:43
  is what God has said concerning me, this is who
• 1:14:47
  I am based on what Scripture said, not based on
• 1:14:51
  what your mind has said, not based on what your
• 1:14:53
  background has said? Was it not Paul that said there
• 1:14:56
  is as it were, many voices, and that none of
• 1:14:59
  them is without eff Your background has a voice, remember
• 1:15:03
  who you are?
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: Failures all through and you hear that voice.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: Then, unfortunately, and I know and I pray that it's changing.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: Thank God for Christian schools.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: But if you are not fortunate to go to a
• 1:15:15
  school that calls upon the name of the Lord, now
• 1:15:17
  you hear and not that voice. Added to that negativity
• 1:15:21
  by teachers and all of that, they look at you
• 1:15:23
  and say you are dull, you are almost demonic. I
• 1:15:26
  don't know how you got here. I don't even know
• 1:15:28
  where you are going. And I can tell you because
• 1:15:30
  you respect them, you will believe it. And then with
• 1:15:35
  every sense of respect and apology. Parents have a major
• 1:15:39
  role in destroying the self worth of children. By the
• 1:15:45
  time you begin to minister words, curses and words that are.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: Not consistent with scripture.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: By the time an average child is ten twelve years,
• 1:15:54
  subliminally he has already received all kinds of suggestions about
• 1:15:59
  who he is. So now that they think they are weak,
• 1:16:03
  the devil will now begin to market templates that can
• 1:16:06
  make you belong. That's why people join our Celtic societies.
• 1:16:10
  That's why people join all kinds of things they say
• 1:16:12
  they want to belong. When Satan came to Jesus, the
• 1:16:18
  first test was the test of identity. The first test,
• 1:16:22
  the very first test, was a test of identity. If
• 1:16:26
  you are truly the son of God, turned the stones
• 1:16:29
  to bread, Jesus said, I don't need to prove to you.
• 1:16:32
  The voice already spoke that I am his beloved son.
• 1:16:35
  Man shall not live by bread alone. But every word
• 1:16:38
  you heard the world when he announced it, everything under
• 1:16:41
  heaven had it, including you. Don't ask me that question.
• 1:16:43
  You already know I'm the son of God. So when
• 1:16:48
  life and friends and society sadly and the sociological context
• 1:16:55
  of our world now forces you to do things and
• 1:16:59
  be things to show you are great, you can tell
• 1:17:02
  them no, no, no, no no. I'm a civilized person, but
• 1:17:04
  I have limits. I know who I am. Don't just
• 1:17:09
  tell me to dress the way you want to show
• 1:17:12
  I am civil to talk the way you want to
• 1:17:15
  live the way you want. No. Within the boundary of
• 1:17:19
  a civilized world, I will confirm to that, which is
• 1:17:22
  an advantage. But I know who I am based on scripture,
• 1:17:26
  I am the beloved of God. Behold what manner of
• 1:17:29
  love the Father has bestowed upon us in that we
• 1:17:33
  are called the sons of God. There are many names
• 1:17:38
  that the Bible calls us light, salt, ambassadors, kings, priests.
• 1:17:47
  Are we learning now? So you discover God, you discover yourself.
• 1:17:52
  The next thing that you discover under that stage of
• 1:17:55
  discovery is you discover your abilities, your gift things and
• 1:18:00
  your abilities.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: Please pay attention, Please pay attention.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: There is always a rod in your hand, Oh dear Moses,
• 1:18:07
  that is the rod you will use to work signs
• 1:18:09
  and wonders. It is not only God you discover. It
• 1:18:13
  is not only yourself you discover. There is something God
• 1:18:16
  has given you. That is the rod you are going
• 1:18:19
  to use. Moses, be careful to not throw that rod.
• 1:18:22
  One day. You will need it to pass the Red
• 1:18:24
  Sea one day to become the symbol of your leadership.
• 1:18:28
  Can I tell you this, everyone here seated looking at me,
• 1:18:32
  following online and will be following by way of rebroadcast
• 1:18:37
  or whatever platform it comes through.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you, sincerely.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: There is something God has put within you that the
• 1:18:43
  world is desperately waiting for to receive. This is not
• 1:18:48
  just some motivational talk. This is truth based on scripture.
• 1:18:55
  Nobody came here empty. Everybody came here as an expression
• 1:18:59
  of the fullness of the life and the power of Jesus.
• 1:19:03
  If you are Joseph, we need your leadership and your
• 1:19:07
  ability to interpret dreams. If you are the Borer, we
• 1:19:10
  need your strength and your dexterity in war. If you
• 1:19:15
  are Moses, we need your passion to be able to
• 1:19:19
  communicate with God and prophetically drive the people out of captivity.
• 1:19:24
  Everybody in scripture that was used of God.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: There were things God gave them. David could sing.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: He used that grace to write the Psalms today that
• 1:19:33
  has brought all kinds of deliverance.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: David was a warrior, and he.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: Used to fight valiantly in his lifetime. David had leadership.
• 1:19:43
  Everything David had eventually was featured in the Palace. What
• 1:19:49
  do you have in your hand? That was what the
• 1:19:52
  Lord told Moses, what do you have in your house?
• 1:19:57
  Second King's Chapter five, Second King's Chapter four, Please four
• 1:20:06
  men to say. The Bible says there was a certain
• 1:20:10
  woman of the wives of the sons of the prophet.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: Second King's four from verse one.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: She said onto Elisha my servant, that husband is dead,
• 1:20:18
  and dow knowest that thy servant did fear.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: The lord and the creditor.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: Ahah. The creditor is come to take him, to take
• 1:20:27
  on to him my two sons to be born men.
• 1:20:29
  Next verse please, And Elisha said onto her, what shall
• 1:20:33
  I do for thee? And he asks the question, He says,
• 1:20:35
  tell me what hast thou in your house? Here the
• 1:20:40
  woman's reply, This is the reply of many of us
• 1:20:44
  when destiny calls on you. What do you have in
• 1:20:47
  this house of ethen Vessel. Here's what we say. Nothing.
• 1:20:52
  Thy handmaid had not anything in the house except a
• 1:20:58
  pot of oil. I have nothing except an ability to sing.
• 1:21:04
  I have nothing. Accept great charisma and leadership prowess. I
• 1:21:10
  have nothing. Accept passion and hunger for God. I have nothing.
• 1:21:14
  Accept the ability to be trusted. Be careful what you
• 1:21:18
  call nothing, Be careful what you call nothing. I have nothing.
• 1:21:27
  Accept some degree of business acumen. I have nothing except
• 1:21:32
  that when I sleep, whatever I see in my dream
• 1:21:34
  truly happens. I have nothing except the dream that I
• 1:21:38
  have that I saw myself on a.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: Crusee ground while I.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: Was sleeping on a mat in a heart. I saw
• 1:21:46
  myself speaking before ndations. That's all that I have. It says,
• 1:21:51
  what do you have? You must discover what you have?
• 1:21:54
  Can I tell you this? Every great man that you
• 1:21:57
  admire today, whether in the kingdom or in the secular,
• 1:22:01
  whether in ministry, in politics, in business, there were men
• 1:22:05
  and women who are, among other factors, got to a
• 1:22:08
  point in their lives where they discover that there is
• 1:22:11
  something valuable that God has given me.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: Hear me.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: Your sense of self worth, among other factors, is tied
• 1:22:19
  to the perception of the value you have about yourself.
• 1:22:23
  We live, respectfully speaking, in a very fake world today
• 1:22:28
  where everybody tries to do this and leave this. If
• 1:22:31
  you are not wearing this, or how much is your shoe?
• 1:22:37
  Two thousand ras? People love a two thousand error? Did
• 1:22:41
  you make it yourself? And people will laugh and make
• 1:22:43
  you feel stupid, and you stand here wondering what to do,
• 1:22:46
  and then you go out of your way to live
• 1:22:49
  a fake life. You've heard me say, don't fake what
• 1:22:52
  can be real. Your self worth is never about any
• 1:23:03
  exterior thing around you. Thank God for the beauty, the
• 1:23:06
  glamor the grace that is wonderful. But if you put
• 1:23:09
  your trust in anything outside you, you are insecure. Can
• 1:23:13
  I tell you most of the things that we face
• 1:23:17
  in our world today, especially as it makes for personal
• 1:23:20
  relationships and all of that, they are a derivative of
• 1:23:24
  this secret frustration. Psychologists have said it and have taught
• 1:23:27
  you again that you look at life from the lens
• 1:23:30
  of the perception of your value. If you feel you
• 1:23:33
  are not valuable, you will interpret life from the lens
• 1:23:37
  of that frustration. If you are a happy man, the
• 1:23:40
  world is a happy place for you. If you are
• 1:23:42
  a sad person, the world is a sad place for you.
• 1:23:45
  If you are a godly person, in the midst of
• 1:23:48
  all the pudendce that goes on, you can see God.
• 1:23:50
  You can see what he is doing. If you are
• 1:23:52
  someone who is a failure, you would look at life
• 1:23:55
  from the lens of your experience.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: What sees now is a report card.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: It's God speaking to us tonight. So the firstage when
• 1:24:06
  you are preparing for greatness is discovery. Discovery of God
• 1:24:13
  as the Almighty, the beginning and the end, the one
• 1:24:18
  who holds your life and your destiny. And then number two,
• 1:24:23
  discovery of yourself, so that you become healed once and
• 1:24:27
  for all from the scar that society will try to
• 1:24:32
  bring as a result of the injury that they will
• 1:24:34
  give you for not trying to conform to certain patterns
• 1:24:38
  that society depicts to measure greatness. So if you do
• 1:24:43
  not find ten cards in my house, for instance, if
• 1:24:46
  you do not find a great mansion, for instance, if
• 1:24:49
  you do not find me wearing all the designers that
• 1:24:52
  should be, nothing is wrong with distinct in themselves. If
• 1:24:54
  you don't see me speaking in a certain way, if
• 1:24:57
  you don't see me snapping in front of expensive vehicle,
• 1:25:01
  Society says you are failure, and many of us have
• 1:25:04
  been deceived to believe it. So we live our lives
• 1:25:09
  in secret and open frustrations, trying to be what God
• 1:25:12
  already said you are. Are we blessed? And then the
• 1:25:23
  discovery of your potentials. I first heard this from the
• 1:25:29
  lips of my greatly revered mentor in life and in death,
• 1:25:33
  Dr Miles Munroe, when I read his book on Discovering
• 1:25:37
  Your Potentials, when he said, here's what he said that
• 1:25:43
  the wealthiest place on earth is not the gold mines
• 1:25:48
  in Sub Saharan Africa around It's not the oil, minds
• 1:25:53
  in Nigeria and Iraq and all of that. He said,
• 1:25:56
  the most expensive, the wealthiest place on earth.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: He called it the symmetry.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: Why because that is where books died that were not written.
• 1:26:06
  That's where dreams died that did not come to pass.
• 1:26:12
  And he said, little did he know that he would
• 1:26:15
  not live so long. He said his assignment was not
• 1:26:18
  just longevity alone. His focus was efficiency. That Jesus lived
• 1:26:24
  for thirty three and a half years, and his impact
• 1:26:27
  in eternity will continue to be felt. And he gave
• 1:26:30
  it all, and truly he died empty. One of the
• 1:26:34
  last books he wrote before he went to be with
• 1:26:36
  the Lord is called passing It on the principle of
• 1:26:39
  transgenerational relevance and legacy, a man that cheated death. Indeed,
• 1:26:48
  are we best? You must find what it is that
• 1:26:50
  you have in your hands. Can I tell you this?
• 1:26:53
  When the woman was saying nothing except a pot of oil,
• 1:26:57
  the port was here in her and the oil was
• 1:27:00
  hearing her.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: And here's what the oil was saying.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: You call me nothing the same way you're writing ability
• 1:27:06
  is saying.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: Do you know you can write about revivals?
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: Is it not? Roberts Learnon that wrote one book, God's
• 1:27:13
  Generals that set fire to tay. Only God knows how
• 1:27:16
  many ministries have come from that book. All kinds of
• 1:27:23
  books gifts. Billy Graham discovered that he had the ability
• 1:27:32
  to love the Lord and to communicate effectively, and he
• 1:27:36
  deployed that gift in its evangelical operation, and today agreeably
• 1:27:40
  one of the greatest evangelist in modern history. Who has lived.
• 1:27:45
  What do you have in your hand? What do you
• 1:27:49
  have in your house? It is time to go back
• 1:27:52
  and stay with the Holy Spirit and take intentional inventory
• 1:27:56
  of everything that constitutes an advantage in your life, because
• 1:28:00
  everything God gave you that constitutes an advantage will be
• 1:28:04
  used for your destiny.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you this?
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: Certain will usually flash to your face all the negative
• 1:28:11
  things around your life. Many of us do not see
• 1:28:15
  anything glorious about ourselves.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: You are poor. He will make sure you see that.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: One you don't speak well, he will make sure you
• 1:28:24
  see that. One you spend fifteen years in the village,
• 1:28:27
  you will draw me to your ears. But the wonderful
• 1:28:30
  things God has made out of your life, he will
• 1:28:33
  not allow you see.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus, May.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: You see clearly? Can I tell you this our fathers
• 1:28:41
  of faith in this nation, fathers of faith across Africa.
• 1:28:46
  Every one of them got to a point where they
• 1:28:49
  had to deploy that gift that God gave them.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: To be able to serve the purposes of God.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: Today you do not find that rod in your hand,
• 1:29:02
  you will be a shamed when you stand before Pharaoh,
• 1:29:04
  because there will be nothing that would demonstrate the glory
• 1:29:07
  of God. It was the word God gave Moses that
• 1:29:11
  was used to prove the almightiness of God. If you
• 1:29:15
  neglect your gift, there will be nothing in your life
• 1:29:18
  to prove indeed that God is mighty over you. You
• 1:29:22
  must obtain grace from God. Sit that here looking at me,
• 1:29:25
  following in all the overflows outside from whatever nation, whatever tivitation,
• 1:29:30
  there are people listening to me. You have dreams. God
• 1:29:33
  has planted things in your life. Can I tell you this?
• 1:29:36
  When it looks like certain individuals are superstars, the difference
• 1:29:41
  between a superstar and whatever is this discovery. No body
• 1:29:46
  is intrinsically exceptional above any other person. No, every gray
• 1:29:52
  body born of a woman was once a baby in
• 1:29:57
  the hand of that woman. Even if you were born royalty,
• 1:30:03
  you were still a baby Jesus, as the son of God,
• 1:30:09
  did not automatically become savior, even though he was the world.
• 1:30:13
  He had to go through this system of discovery. At
• 1:30:17
  age twelve. The Bible tells us that he was at
• 1:30:19
  the temple. What do you think he was doing at
• 1:30:21
  the temple? He was learning, everybody said, discovery. Pay attention
• 1:30:26
  to this teaching because many of us are superstitiously hoping
• 1:30:29
  that destiny will just happen. We are superstitiously hoping that
• 1:30:33
  greatness will just happen one day, go better, how we say,
• 1:30:36
  in this side of God's kingdom, And it is so wrong,
• 1:30:41
  provided you don't do anything until that one day. More
• 1:30:48
  than admiring great people, more than commending people who have
• 1:30:53
  done exploits in the kingdom, whether in music, whether in career,
• 1:30:57
  in politics. Don't just sit down and clap for people.
• 1:31:01
  Use their lives as an inspiration. That this man was
• 1:31:04
  once a baby in the hand of a woman. What
• 1:31:06
  is the difference between this man and me? Not in
• 1:31:08
  a competitive way, not in a way that communicates jealousy,
• 1:31:12
  but in a way that challenges you. Greatness is simply
• 1:31:17
  the world acknowledging you for serving them effectively with your gift.
• 1:31:24
  The feedback you receive from your world and your generation
• 1:31:28
  for effectively serving them.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: With your gift is what we call greatness.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: It appears as honor, it appears as priority living, it
• 1:31:37
  appears as whatever it is. But the truth is that
• 1:31:40
  when you use this that God has given you, you
• 1:31:43
  discovered it.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: You have begun your journey to greatness. Let me do
• 1:31:47
  it quick.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: Recap and we move forward. That there are two main
• 1:31:51
  faces when it has to do with manifesting greatness in
• 1:31:54
  the Kingdom. The first season, it is called the season
• 1:31:59
  of preparation, and I'm now defining the activities that happen
• 1:32:03
  under that season. That that season of preparation is broken
• 1:32:08
  into three phases.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: Phase one is discovery.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: You discover God, you discover you, You discover what He
• 1:32:16
  has given you. Say amen. The second thing that you
• 1:32:22
  do in the second phase under preparation is called development.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: The face of development.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: Now that you have discovered God, Now that you have
• 1:32:37
  discovered you, Now that you have discovered what God has
• 1:32:42
  given you, look or please. Miles Monroe calls it, and
• 1:32:46
  the dictionary defines it as potential. Do you know what
• 1:32:50
  potential is? Potential is what a thing can become, but
• 1:32:54
  it's not potential. Potential means untapped resources, whether human, whether material,
• 1:33:04
  whether mental.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: When you talk of a potential, or you talk of.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: A thing in its potential form, it means that there
• 1:33:12
  is value that can be derived from it, but not
• 1:33:14
  at that state. For instance, we celebrate and we thank
• 1:33:18
  God for the gift of crude oil in this country,
• 1:33:21
  but if you happen to go and watch them, mind oil.
• 1:33:25
  When oil actually comes out and you will see it,
• 1:33:27
  you run away from that place because it's a dark,
• 1:33:30
  slippery paste of smelly substance. And yet that is what
• 1:33:35
  has powered the economy of many nations. That oil that
• 1:33:39
  comes out is not the one your guy is looking for.
• 1:33:42
  That's not the one you will queue to pay for.
• 1:33:46
  Discovery is good, But can I tell you this, There
• 1:33:50
  are many people with dreams, with not books full of dreams.
• 1:33:56
  The greatest way to bring your dream to pass is
• 1:33:59
  to wake up from that dream. If you wake up
• 1:34:04
  from that dream, then you are ready to make that
• 1:34:06
  dream come to us. But for as long as it
• 1:34:08
  remains a dream, it remains there forever. Everybody who turned
• 1:34:13
  their dreams to reality did that by first waking up.
• 1:34:21
  Please look at me you must obtain grace from God
• 1:34:26
  to refine two aspects of your life. Number one, you
• 1:34:31
  must refine your gifts.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: Number two, in fact, in order of priority.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: When it has to do with development, you must refine
• 1:34:42
  your mind. Then you must refine your gift. If you
• 1:34:45
  refine your gift alone, you will still be frustrated. There
• 1:34:49
  are two aspects that must be refined when it has
• 1:34:52
  to do with development. Number one is your mind. Number two,
• 1:34:56
  your potential is a very important component as far as
• 1:35:03
  excelling and greatness is concerned in this kingdom. Why because
• 1:35:09
  you see the Bible tells us that how does it
• 1:35:14
  put it now? It says, let this mind be in you, which.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: Was also in Christ.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: Jesus. There was a mindset and a belief system Philippians
• 1:35:26
  two five, that Jesus heart that made him great. It
• 1:35:29
  didn't just say let this power be in you. It's
• 1:35:32
  not only the power that was in Jesus that you need.
• 1:35:35
  You also need the mind that was in Jesus. Without
• 1:35:38
  the mind that was in Jesus, the power that was
• 1:35:41
  on him would be useless in your life. You need
• 1:35:43
  both his mind and his power. Everybody say his mind.
• 1:35:48
  Many people want the power that was in Jesus, but.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: You do not want his belief systems.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: Your belief system is a summation of your paradigms, your viewpoints,
• 1:35:58
  your perspectives. Can I tell you we are made or
• 1:36:01
  destroyed by our belief systems.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: I have taught it here.
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: There's no need going, you know, to share it again,
• 1:36:09
  but maybe just for one or two minutes. Let me
• 1:36:11
  tell you this that our mindsets are formed largely from
• 1:36:14
  number one culture. Number two our past experiences, is that true?
• 1:36:20
  Number three? Our failures number four, our association number five,
• 1:36:25
  our levels of exposure. All of these are factors that
• 1:36:30
  become the shapers of our belief systems. The average person
• 1:36:35
  in Nigeria and Africa by the time you are aged ten,
• 1:36:39
  by the time you are a teenager, you would have
• 1:36:41
  been exposed to too many activities that would have, respectfully speaking,
• 1:36:45
  dehumanized and demean your perception of yourself. Therefore, the Bible
• 1:36:50
  says Romance, chapter twelve and verse one and two. I
• 1:36:53
  besiech the brethren by the messages of God, that ye
• 1:36:58
  present your bodices as a living sacrifice wholly acceptable lot God.
• 1:37:03
  It calls it your reasonable act of worship. But two says,
• 1:37:07
  be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed.
• 1:37:11
  Say transform? What does it mean to transform? To evolve
• 1:37:15
  into superior versions of yourself? That's what it means to
• 1:37:18
  be transformed. To be transformed means to evolve into superior
• 1:37:23
  versions of yourself. Like a fly evolves from egg lava,
• 1:37:29
  pupa and then adults. You must obtain grace from God
• 1:37:33
  to evolve. You've heard me teach it that your destiny
• 1:37:37
  is looking for you, but not this current version of you.
• 1:37:41
  The version of you that your destiny is looking for
• 1:37:43
  you are yet to become it. The most important thing
• 1:37:46
  about success and greatness is not the achievements, is.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: What you become, or have to become to obtain it.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: What you have to become to be great is greater
• 1:37:57
  than the greatness itself.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: Are we blessed? Don't forget this.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: The most important component as far as you're growing into
• 1:38:07
  greatness is concerned. It's not the greatness itself and the
• 1:38:11
  possibilities that surround that realm, is the person you are
• 1:38:15
  forced to become until you attaind that greatness.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: Becoming is greater than doing.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: You really become successful more from becoming than doing. But
• 1:38:30
  the people that do know their God knowledge, they shall
• 1:38:33
  be strong becoming.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: Then they shall do exploits.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: It is knowledge transformation and then action, not knowledge and action.
• 1:38:44
  Knowledge transformation is the reason why we do right things
• 1:38:49
  and get wrong results, because you only do right things
• 1:38:52
  when you have become.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: Everybody say development.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: I'm challenging everyone under the sound of my voice therefore,
• 1:39:03
  that we have to obtain grace from God. If we
• 1:39:06
  are truly serious about manifesting our kingdom destinies and rising
• 1:39:11
  onto greatness, we must obtain grace from God. Haven't discovered
• 1:39:17
  our giftings. We must begin an intentional, a radical and
• 1:39:22
  non emotional, non emotional project of transformation. When you contend
• 1:39:30
  for transformation emotionally, you not go far when you feel sleepy,
• 1:39:34
  when you are awake, when you feel angry, when you
• 1:39:36
  feel hungry. No, you must entire covenant with yourself that
• 1:39:40
  come rain and come soon shine every twenty four hour
• 1:39:43
  that God gives me will a major part.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: Of it to be invested in my transformation.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: How are you transformed, the Bible tells you number one,
• 1:39:52
  through the renewing of your mind. How do you renew
• 1:39:55
  your mind by supplying into your mental space? Superior in
• 1:40:00
  information superior word based information, and then repeating them until
• 1:40:07
  they super impose the negative thoughts that have surrounded your mind.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: Hearing the truth once is not enough.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: You must hear it again and again until it.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: Gains dominance over your mind.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: Then the Bible now says, out of the abundance of
• 1:40:22
  the heart, the mouth speaks, you can declare in prayer.
• 1:40:25
  And then all of these other things. And then the
• 1:40:27
  Bible also says for us, he think kept in his
• 1:40:30
  heart or mind, He says, so is he. It is
• 1:40:33
  so you will become You already are what you are thinking.
• 1:40:40
  Mental transformation is a miracle, believe us, especially people who
• 1:40:45
  are largely spiritual and passionate about God. Because of that
• 1:40:49
  drive to encounter the Holy Spirit, the power, the are
• 1:40:52
  notting of the Holy Spirit. Many times we who God
• 1:40:55
  as trusted with grace for the miraculous, for science and
• 1:40:58
  wonders we have.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 2: We have fallen pray as far.
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: As emphasizing the importance of being mentally transformed, because we feel,
• 1:41:09
  what is the need for having an enlightened mind? After all,
• 1:41:12
  I have anointed, after all I can pray, after all,
• 1:41:15
  I'm spiritual. It takes more than that, as far as
• 1:41:18
  you're excelling his concern. Jesus did not just wait until
• 1:41:21
  he was starty. Even before we see him praying. We
• 1:41:24
  saw him in the temple learning. When Satan came to him,
• 1:41:29
  he didn't say, I assume he said it is written.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 2: Away together. You must obtain grace from God.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: To sit down, dear Nigerians, especially the young population.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: Let's sit down and learn.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: This passion to run around and have pretty muture manifestation.
• 1:41:51
  Sit down, sit down. We must obtain grace from God.
• 1:41:56
  But as person all I went to school, you know
• 1:41:58
  it's not enough. Sit down. There are three levels of education.
• 1:42:04
  There is on learning, there is relearning. There is learning.
• 1:42:10
  There are things you have to on lear. There are
• 1:42:13
  things you have to learn as neil. There are things
• 1:42:16
  you have to relearn as emphasis. If these three levels
• 1:42:19
  is not happening to you, you are not really educated.
• 1:42:21
  Education is not just an awareness of a body of information. No,
• 1:42:26
  you must on len de construct many belief systems that
• 1:42:30
  are wrong. You must learn, then you must relearn. It
• 1:42:34
  is on learning, learning and relearning that is education.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: I will say it again.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: If you want propos enlightenment, not just spiritual enlightenment, sexular enlightenment.
• 1:42:47
  You must on learn, You must learn, you must relearn,
• 1:42:56
  develop your mind. Ask any CEO the difference between an
• 1:43:01
  exceptional CEO, A fulfilled politician, a technocrat, an intelligent person,
• 1:43:07
  one who is doing much for the kingdom, a.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: Great man of God.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: Our fathers of faith all over this nation, we love them,
• 1:43:14
  we honor them, we admire them. Can I tell you something?
• 1:43:17
  One consistent threat that runs across all the fathers of
• 1:43:21
  faith in this nation is that they are exceptionally brilliant people.
• 1:43:25
  Mention one doll one and you'll be the first mentioned
• 1:43:28
  in it and the only one mentioned in it. There
• 1:43:30
  is no dull father of faith that I know who
• 1:43:33
  is making global impact. Because ministry is more than preaching.
• 1:43:37
  Preaching only accounts for at least thirty percent of ministry.
• 1:43:40
  There is administration, there is leadership, there is diplomacy, There
• 1:43:44
  are all kinds of factors involved in ministry.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: For them to win this much, it.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: Is the Holy Spirit in partnership with an enlightened mind.
• 1:43:54
  We have this idea that God just landed on them
• 1:43:57
  and commission them. Find out they're late, find out the
• 1:44:01
  things they do, the little that we are doing for God.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: Here we can feel the heat and the.
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: Disadvantage of not being enlightened. Please, I encourage you, from
• 1:44:14
  families to institutions, religious and secular institutions, business and all
• 1:44:20
  of that, we must settle down to content for knowledge.
• 1:44:24
  Settle down to contend for knowledge. Challenge yourself to be enlightened.
• 1:44:29
  And don't let the devil make you think that what
• 1:44:31
  I'm sharing tonight is not important. It is absolutely important.
• 1:44:35
  The destinies of people are tied to your rising and
• 1:44:38
  your greatness. It is selfish to refuse to be great,
• 1:44:41
  because more than yourself there are people who will eat
• 1:44:44
  from the foot of your greatness. Are way together, so
• 1:44:50
  discovery and then refining. When you begin to refine your
• 1:44:55
  mind and refine your gifts, it all shuts you into
• 1:44:59
  the next face of your season of preparation, called the
• 1:45:03
  season of testing. Write it down the season of testing.
• 1:45:10
  Oh dear, I wish I had time here like ca
• 1:45:14
  rule scared a brain negative and later the season of testing.
• 1:45:22
  Can I tell you this, If it is God you
• 1:45:24
  are doing business with, before he commits to you, testinies,
• 1:45:30
  before he commits to you anointings and graces, you must
• 1:45:34
  be tested. Genesis twenty two place from verse one, was
• 1:45:44
  still looking at the life of Abraham.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: And it came to pass after these things.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: Remember Genesis twelve, Abraham has an encounter with God.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 2: He begins his journey.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: Ten chapters later we see him stepping into the face.
• 1:46:00
  It came to pass after these things that God did
• 1:46:03
  what temmed? Some verses will say, test Abraham. What was
• 1:46:09
  the test Abraham? He said, behold, I'm here. Next verse please,
• 1:46:14
  he said, take down thy son, thy only son, Isaac,
• 1:46:18
  whom thou lovest take note of only and lovest only
• 1:46:24
  son whom thou lovest, Get thee into a land of Moriah,
• 1:46:28
  and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 2: Of the mountains, which I will tell you. Verse three.
• 1:46:35
  Here's what the Bible says.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: And Abraham rose up andy in the morning and saddled
• 1:46:41
  his ass and took two of his young men with him,
• 1:46:44
  and Isaac his son, and cleared the wood for the
• 1:46:47
  burnt offering, and rose up and went onto the place
• 1:46:51
  which God had told him.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: Will continue later on. But look look at.
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: This, Look at this, God tells Abraham, I want to
• 1:47:01
  make you a father of nations. I would bless them
• 1:47:04
  that bless you cause him that causes you in this
• 1:47:07
  shall all the families be blessed. In other words, I'm
• 1:47:10
  going to make you the landlord of the earth. He
• 1:47:12
  willed the heath to Abraham. Are we together now? And
• 1:47:15
  then Abraham did not know that as he kept obeying
• 1:47:19
  God transitting, you will get to a point where God
• 1:47:22
  will now say, now we are getting to the season
• 1:47:25
  where prophecy and destiny is about to be activated, but
• 1:47:29
  not without a test.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: The Bible does not leave us in the dark as
• 1:47:32
  to the fact that.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: Everything that was happening was a test, but Abraham did
• 1:47:37
  not know it was a test. Can I tell you this?
• 1:47:40
  This final phase of your preparation season is the hard
• 1:47:45
  best face for most people. As any great man, they
• 1:47:49
  would tell you the season of test is a season
• 1:47:52
  where you have to obtain grace from God. The season
• 1:47:57
  of test will test you across three things. Number one,
• 1:48:02
  it will test you across trust and integrity. You will
• 1:48:06
  be tested.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: You will be tested, You will be tested.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: Your capacity to be a person of integrity will be
• 1:48:14
  tested beyond measure. Number two. The second test is the
• 1:48:19
  test of patience. The test of patience. I can tell
• 1:48:23
  you this. If it is God who is lifting you
• 1:48:26
  he will stretch you from pillar to post. Man of God.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you what you will do to you.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 1: I say, a great man on fire, God loving you.
• 1:48:40
  Your pastor just looks at you and says you are
• 1:48:43
  going to be the person opening the gate at the church.
• 1:48:47
  You look at the potential of your anointing compared to
• 1:48:51
  the miracle that just happened before you came and say,
• 1:48:55
  past Or, sorry, I hope you know that two among
• 1:48:58
  these ten testimonies came direct from me, and yet God says,
• 1:49:02
  go and do it.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you this?
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: The test of greatness achieves many things. Among them, it
• 1:49:11
  must humble you to your lowest or the wise. Is
• 1:49:14
  not God lifting you. Some of these insulting, derogatory experiences
• 1:49:19
  we go through. The Man of God may not know
• 1:49:22
  God is using him to test you. Not God. He
• 1:49:25
  knows that he said, it's only God. It's not like
• 1:49:28
  men know if a man tries to test you, he's
• 1:49:31
  not God. It is at the end, looking from hindsight,
• 1:49:34
  you will know that it was not about Isaac, it
• 1:49:37
  was not about Abraham. It was about God saying, for
• 1:49:41
  me to commit this kind to you. This is where
• 1:49:44
  many people fail. They fail the test. Can I tell
• 1:49:47
  you this. The test of destiny will insult your pedigree.
• 1:49:52
  The test of destiny will turn you. Sometimes you look
• 1:49:54
  at yourself and say, I'm not a fool. Be careful
• 1:49:57
  the moment it starts looking like God is just allowing
• 1:50:00
  things to fail your hand.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 2: Like we call it, be careful.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: There are people today who that become mighty men and
• 1:50:10
  women of God. If they had submitted themselves to cleaning
• 1:50:13
  the chair, they say, no way, I can't be carrying
• 1:50:16
  this heavy prophetic grace, especially when you are serving and
• 1:50:19
  you're superiors may not seem to be.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 2: As gifted as you. Maybe someone is.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: In that face right now. Listen carefully. I've trained the
• 1:50:33
  leaders in this ministry to understand that anything at all
• 1:50:37
  God gives you, do it with all your heart. You
• 1:50:40
  do not know what season you are stepping into. Are
• 1:50:43
  we together? Go and ask many great men, do you
• 1:50:46
  know what Stevin was doing before he became that mighty man.
• 1:50:50
  Stevin was part of those who were serving tables. There
• 1:50:56
  are many great men today who started by scrubbing the
• 1:50:59
  flows of your CEOs. And while they were scrubbing the floors,
• 1:51:02
  they will hear discussions happening and they were cleaning all
• 1:51:06
  kinds of things. While their contemporaries were saying I'm too big,
• 1:51:09
  they were saying, no, no, no, I love the Lord Father.
• 1:51:12
  I say, privilege for me to do what I'm doing.
• 1:51:14
  The moment you are too big to be tested. You
• 1:51:17
  are also too big to be great or too small
• 1:51:19
  to be great. I have told God, and I told
• 1:51:28
  God this right from before he lifted me. No matter
• 1:51:31
  what it is that I have to do, it's in
• 1:51:34
  the name of the Lord, and I'm serving you. I
• 1:51:36
  would do it with all my heart. I stand before
• 1:51:39
  the God of Heaven, and I'm telling you now. If
• 1:51:41
  the Lord asked me to drop this leadership and leave
• 1:51:44
  everything and go back to be an usher, even in
• 1:51:47
  Cornonia here I stand.
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 2: By the God of Heaven, I will do it.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: I know you think I'm not all right, but I
• 1:51:55
  would do it. It's better to be wrong with God.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you how.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: You know that the door of greatness is already closing
• 1:52:06
  in you the moment what you were doing before you
• 1:52:11
  now become too big to do it. Check yourself, go
• 1:52:14
  for a retreat quickly, some of us as it is today,
• 1:52:24
  if you hold a proom, you'll be sick. May God
• 1:52:27
  forgive you in the name of Jesus Christ, because you see,
• 1:52:31
  can I be honest with you. One of the ways
• 1:52:34
  to work in humility is that occasionally in your life
• 1:52:38
  disengage yourself with certain privileges, even if it's for a day,
• 1:52:42
  and you go back to the things you used to do.
• 1:52:44
  They will administer a measure of humility to keep you balanced,
• 1:52:47
  because you see, as you rise there will be people
• 1:52:50
  to serve you protocol. You see me coming in and
• 1:52:52
  you see all these my people, everything and some of you.
• 1:52:54
  This is what you are looking at when you look
• 1:52:57
  at all these things.
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 2: The old God.
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: I must be like Joshua sl not his prayer life,
• 1:53:01
  not his world life. What you want is this one.
• 1:53:03
  And God says you lie, I'm not. You don't cheat
• 1:53:06
  me like that. You go back and start.
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 2: That's school of the spirit, the season of testing.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: This is the season where to look like God is
• 1:53:21
  not even answering your prayer. I've taught you here as
• 1:53:26
  a man of God. You can pray for somebody who
• 1:53:28
  will go for the crusades and be raising people from wheelchairs.
• 1:53:32
  And they bring somebody who is suffering from constipation. You
• 1:53:35
  will almost lay all your hands on the person and
• 1:53:38
  nothing happens. And the person says, I'm disappointed. I was
• 1:53:41
  told so much about you, I thought, and you say
• 1:53:47
  me and God just keep quiet. Tell him God bless you.
• 1:53:50
  You say God, bless you, and he lives that you
• 1:53:53
  feel stupid. At the point he say God, what is
• 1:53:55
  the name of all these things? God will send you
• 1:53:58
  to one preach somewhere. As soon as you finish, will
• 1:54:01
  be waiting, thinking and on a radium miscoming. They will
• 1:54:04
  just carry maybe orange or banana, hold it in a
• 1:54:06
  leather and says, sir, May the Lord who called you
• 1:54:10
  honor you and bless you. Listen, listen, listen, and you
• 1:54:14
  are standing there and wondering, okay, a three day's conference,
• 1:54:20
  and God says, accept it quickly and go. He's winning
• 1:54:24
  you up the lost for things tests.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 2: Most of us miss these seasons.
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: Because we have an idea that the moment you are gifted,
• 1:54:33
  the next thing after being gifted is celebration. You lie
• 1:54:36
  not in God's economy. There will be a season of tests.
• 1:54:42
  This is where many people are bought destiny and about greatness.
• 1:54:46
  They are too big to serve, they are too big
• 1:54:49
  to pray, They are too big to do whatever it
• 1:54:52
  is that they do. Believe what I'm telling you. For
• 1:55:02
  many years in my life I wanted to buy a car,
• 1:55:05
  but God prohibited me. This is true. And at the
• 1:55:12
  point I said, what is all this? One now a
• 1:55:14
  car that will help me? Is still this gospel thing?
• 1:55:20
  The making of the great is painful. You are not
• 1:55:24
  the only one a person. You don't know what is
• 1:55:26
  happening to me, You think, so, how do you think
• 1:55:28
  everybody who got here got here? It looks you see
• 1:55:32
  that season makes it painful, and you think it's only you.
• 1:55:35
  This is why mentorship is powerful, because when you see
• 1:55:38
  the people sitting at the table of greatness, like kung
• 1:55:41
  fu masters, they laugh at you. They say, just continue, continue,
• 1:55:45
  you will get here. God can give you an assignment
• 1:55:49
  and say, from today and for the next six months,
• 1:55:53
  four days out of every seven days you are fasting,
• 1:55:56
  and from twelve o'clock till four you are praying. And
• 1:56:00
  he said, God, for what I thought you said, I'm
• 1:56:02
  a kingdom financier. He says, that's exactly the trailing of
• 1:56:05
  a kingdom financier. God trains you as a kingdom financier
• 1:56:10
  like he's training a revivalist. You will say, God confirm
• 1:56:16
  it with speed. You will have a dream. Someone will
• 1:56:18
  send you a text. God will send another word so
• 1:56:21
  that you must do it with the exact word.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 2: You must first, and you must pray, and can.
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: I tell you this. You will first for two three
• 1:56:28
  months thinking there is a mighty who says coming. Nothing
• 1:56:30
  will happen till you finish that first thing. This is
• 1:56:33
  a test. I'm explaining this to you because many of
• 1:56:36
  you are in this season. Now I tell you, lift
• 1:56:38
  up your eyes, look beyond the pain. Your salvation is there,
• 1:56:44
  test apostle, God is calling me to be a kingdom bloonnaire. Huh.
• 1:56:51
  He will not ask you to open an account. He
• 1:56:52
  will ask you to empty everything in your account. Only
• 1:56:55
  God knows how many times. That is the test. I
• 1:56:58
  know you will cast that voice say no, God doesn't
• 1:57:01
  work like that. I am telling you he works like that.
• 1:57:03
  There is a way that God works like that. There
• 1:57:05
  are demons, yes, but there is a way that God works.
• 1:57:09
  You must give everything. I've taught you that the price
• 1:57:12
  for all of God is all of you. God will
• 1:57:18
  wait until they pay you a rears for one year.
• 1:57:22
  He will not wait until they give you a seat.
• 1:57:24
  It's easy when they touch your money, but God will
• 1:57:27
  wait until they pay you. You are rears and you
• 1:57:30
  say take that, Isaac, go to a mountain. He can't
• 1:57:34
  even say you should sew it to someone you don't like,
• 1:57:36
  a ministry you don't like. Yours is to obey. What
• 1:57:39
  do you think being a kingdom financier is just having
• 1:57:43
  an account with money and business ideas?
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 2: No, sir, what do you think being a man of
• 1:57:47
  God is.
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 1: Just having a gift and a platform to speak for
• 1:57:52
  everyone you see who has tested of greatness? There is
• 1:57:54
  blood dripping on the altar. Believe me when I tell
• 1:57:57
  you this. The only way to get to the throne
• 1:58:02
  is to pass through the cross. I'm speaking to someone
• 1:58:05
  now because you are in a season of your life.
• 1:58:07
  Just help us on that they're annointing. You are in
• 1:58:10
  a season of your life where it looks like nothing
• 1:58:13
  is happening.
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 2: This is applicable to all men apostle.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: When I sleep, I see a vision of a church
• 1:58:24
  and God is saying I will be a great man
• 1:58:26
  serving the purposes of God. But I don't know what
• 1:58:29
  is happening. Why is it that nothing seems to be
• 1:58:31
  moving in my life? Fear not, God is working with you.
• 1:58:34
  Let me tell you this. If you never get to
• 1:58:37
  a point in your life where you don't even know
• 1:58:39
  the name of what you are doing, it's not God
• 1:58:41
  who is training you. You get to a point in
• 1:58:43
  your life where you say, what are we doing? Just
• 1:58:46
  tell me the name of what we're doing. Are you
• 1:58:54
  getting what I'm saying? Now? You can get a job
• 1:58:57
  of two hundred thousand and a job of eighty thou
• 1:59:00
  and God can't tell you go for the job of
• 1:59:02
  eighty thousand. You say, God, do you know that I'm
• 1:59:04
  taking care of four people? He says, just go there. Now.
• 1:59:08
  You see what I'm saying is not marketable because this
• 1:59:10
  is not what many people learn about kingdom greatness. Sometimes
• 1:59:13
  you just learn that. Oh I wish I were lying.
• 1:59:16
  I would have just told you I'm joking, but I'm not.
• 1:59:19
  What I'm saying is very serious, and I tell you
• 1:59:22
  there are no exceptions to it. Swallow your pride tonight.
• 1:59:31
  Come to the school after speed it.
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 3: Don't you know in his hands are the keys to
• 1:59:40
  eternal lie. It's a little here, a little here, then
• 1:59:47
  your day.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: Will do miss working you changing everything in obedience to Christ.
• 1:59:59
  My brother, my sister, at this period of your life,
• 2:00:03
  I want you to hold on the Bible says the
• 2:00:06
  weeping and dels. There are times you cry, but you
• 2:00:09
  still stay Lord. This first, I'm fasting as if I
• 2:00:13
  don't even know whether I'm touching my stomach or my back.
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 2: Just first, it doesn't kill.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: There are times that you sit down and you are praying,
• 2:00:20
  and you are saying, Lord, is it that I'm a pastor?
• 2:00:23
  Just encourage me? By God says what you wire is
• 2:00:25
  not your business. You just know that you are a
• 2:00:27
  child of God, and I'm making you become something. If
• 2:00:34
  you want to claim the blessings of Abraham, be ready
• 2:00:37
  to carry Isaac to that mountain. We live in a
• 2:00:42
  generation that claims people's anointings and refuses their sacrifices. Anybody
• 2:00:49
  that you know who has become great today, find out
• 2:00:52
  what they did.
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 2: There is always a season of preparation.
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 1: If you see anybody who breaks that will run away
• 2:00:58
  from them.
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 2: They have nothing to offer you.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 1: I tell you sincerely, if you see any greatness that
• 2:01:04
  does not have a story and a track record of
• 2:01:07
  consistency with God, there is not much to offer. I've
• 2:01:14
  cried in my life of you see me smiling all
• 2:01:17
  the time. I'm only smiling before you ask God Ah
• 2:01:22
  the burden of this ministry. The first time we organized
• 2:01:30
  chul Said as a ministry, then just starting, we didn't
• 2:01:34
  even have money to pay the transport. Fair Roberts and sisters,
• 2:01:41
  this generation was reduced this on godly admiration that erodes
• 2:01:47
  the need for process.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 2: Please don't feel insulted.
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 1: I'm only stressing this because I want to pound it
• 2:01:52
  into your spirit. Behind every throne you see, behind every
• 2:01:58
  tone you see, there was a time I prayed for
• 2:02:01
  seventy two hours non stop.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 2: My eyes did not know whether it was morning or night.
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 1: I don't say this to boast in the flesh, but
• 2:02:10
  I am telling you, ladies and gentlemen, greatness does not
• 2:02:13
  just happen. We live in a society that demeans the
• 2:02:16
  greatness and the value of people. Now a luck so bragative.
• 2:02:22
  I luck I see them. I've had the honor and
• 2:02:29
  the privilege of knowing and being with a few of the.
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 2: Fathers of faith in this nation.
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 1: I tell you, sometimes when you look at them, you
• 2:02:37
  can almost see in the spirit blood just dripping like
• 2:02:41
  rain on the ground.
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 2: Their entire lives have become a drink.
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 1: Offering before even business people. Before you admire people. You
• 2:02:51
  want to stretch your hands to the sick and they
• 2:02:53
  are healed. You want to tell someone stand up from
• 2:02:56
  a wheelchair and it stands. You want to open a
• 2:02:59
  church and assemn and God honors you with people. Please
• 2:03:02
  let me tell you this. It is more than just cleaning.
• 2:03:05
  There is a school of the spirit. There is a
• 2:03:07
  cop you must drink of, and a baptism you must
• 2:03:10
  be baptized with. They came to Jesus and said, can
• 2:03:13
  you grant that when you are exalted? Who will see
• 2:03:16
  that your left hand right? He said, the space is available,
• 2:03:19
  But here is the condition. Can you drink of my
• 2:03:22
  cop and be baptized? Listen? Moses was a man who
• 2:03:27
  had been trained by the Holy Spirit. Do you know
• 2:03:29
  Moses was a stamara And yet look at the kind
• 2:03:32
  of heavy anointing he was carrying, and he was quiet.
• 2:03:36
  He didn't prophesy when the anointing on him came on.
• 2:03:40
  Seventy elders, not children a part of it, or none
• 2:03:44
  of them could stand and control it. Yet that's what
• 2:03:46
  one man was carrying, and he was quiet. Training gives
• 2:03:50
  you stability it gives you standing a When you are
• 2:03:54
  in the school of the Spirit, especially say as a minister,
• 2:03:57
  he will teach you to know when to speak. He
• 2:03:59
  will teach you to know when to be quiet. It's
• 2:04:01
  not everything that offends you. People are offending me in
• 2:04:04
  this shource. You've not gone through the school of the Spirit.
• 2:04:07
  When you go to he teaches you stability. Why do
• 2:04:12
  they do trainings for people before they promote them? Even
• 2:04:14
  in organizations? Am I right on that that before you
• 2:04:18
  promote people, they call them.
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 2: And they have specialized trainings.
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 1: Question what do they teach them there that they've not
• 2:04:25
  taught them before? You are taking a director or something
• 2:04:30
  to become an AGM and you sometimes they even go
• 2:04:33
  for retreats. Our politicians in this nation go for retreats.
• 2:04:37
  What are they saying there? The testing process is very difficult.
• 2:04:44
  God would test everything you will be using you to do.
• 2:04:50
  One day, you will pray and it will look like
• 2:04:52
  the prayer is not answered, and God will watch you.
• 2:04:57
  After you have preached and said there is not my
• 2:05:00
  God cannot do. You will feel as if his headache,
• 2:05:05
  whether it's from the back of your head or the front.
• 2:05:07
  You may not be able to explain.
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 2: And like Paul, you will lay your hands.
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not giving us a lot of scriptural references.
• 2:05:14
  I'm horring on I besought him, tries that this tone
• 2:05:19
  be taken away from me, and he says, my grace
• 2:05:23
  is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect
• 2:05:30
  in your weakness. How do you help the poor when
• 2:05:34
  you never become like that? There is a man of
• 2:05:36
  God that God gave an assignment for one or two years,
• 2:05:39
  that he should leave all his money and everything and
• 2:05:42
  go and live somewhere in this nation. And he went
• 2:05:45
  and lived. You would think it does not have anything.
• 2:05:48
  It was the sacrifice. In the course of that journey.
• 2:05:51
  He received a burden for that land, such a powerful
• 2:05:55
  evangelical body, and he changed his life.
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 2: On easy lies the head that wears the crown.
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 1: Your season of preparation, discovery, development and refining, and then
• 2:06:10
  the season of testing. My prayer for you is that
• 2:06:14
  you will not give up during your season of test.
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 2: Man of God.
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 1: Hear me everything God told you, He will still do
• 2:06:22
  that man of God, that woman of God you are.
• 2:06:25
  You don't look like it. The Bible says, it don't
• 2:06:27
  not yet appear. Just stay with God. Just stay with God,
• 2:06:31
  dear Cego. It is true that God called you. You
• 2:06:34
  put your hands in your pocket. The only thing you
• 2:06:36
  touch is the end of your pocket.
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 2: Don't worry.
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 1: It is true. You are a kingdom financier. It will
• 2:06:41
  not come the way you think it will happen. You
• 2:06:43
  are still in the school of the spirit. Can I
• 2:06:45
  tell you this. Don't be ashamed of your tears. Cry,
• 2:06:48
  but stay. Whatsoever he tells you to do, do it.
• 2:06:56
  Let's hurry up so we can pray. When you are
• 2:07:05
  done with the season of preparation, then you are open
• 2:07:09
  to the next season of your life. It's called the
• 2:07:14
  season of manifestation. Oh hallelujah. When you get to that season.
• 2:07:20
  When you get to that season called the season of manifestation. Hebrews,
• 2:07:27
  chapter six and verse fifteen. Hebrews, Chapter six and verse fifteen.
• 2:07:37
  Please read with me. Everyone want to read. And so
• 2:07:41
  after he had what he obtained, the promise one more time, everyone, please,
• 2:07:49
  and so continuation to the story. After he had patiently ended,
• 2:07:55
  And what the mockery and your what's the shame? And
• 2:08:00
  what the pain? And what the ridicule? At Noah when
• 2:08:06
  he was building the ac there were people who were
• 2:08:08
  laughing and saying, this man, only God knows what you had.
• 2:08:12
  For one hundred and twenty years he was building that
• 2:08:16
  ac but a season would come, call a season of manifestation.
• 2:08:20
  If you cannot patiently endure, there is no promise. And
• 2:08:24
  so after he had patiently.
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 2: Endured, he obtained the promise.
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 1: Your season of appearing is when God opens the courting
• 2:08:34
  of your destiny and you are ready to stand on
• 2:08:36
  the stage of life. Can I tell you the season
• 2:08:39
  of appearing happens so fast it will surprise you. There
• 2:08:42
  has never been a slow There is there a facis
• 2:08:46
  to it. There are three faces to your season of appearing,
• 2:08:49
  but it can happen instantly.
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 2: Look at Joseph.
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 1: Joseph is in the prison, not knowing that by the
• 2:08:56
  next day, by that same time, he would be the
• 2:08:59
  prime minister. The disciples were tarrying. Do you know the
• 2:09:07
  frustration of tarrying? One hundred and twenty people just waiting.
• 2:09:11
  I'm sure someone will say, what is so special about
• 2:09:14
  the Holy Gooes that he has welcome?
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 2: They say, keep quiet, don't offend the Lord, just.
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 1: Do what he asks you to do. Listen to what
• 2:09:21
  I'm telling you. Can I tell you this. There is
• 2:09:26
  a mysterious way God designed the season of appearing. It
• 2:09:30
  has indicators, but you will never know the exact moment.
• 2:09:34
  You just keep being faithful. You don't know that by
• 2:09:37
  the next day you are going to get a job.
• 2:09:40
  By the next day the business proposal that you have written,
• 2:09:43
  you may never know, Oh Saul, that you are one
• 2:09:48
  day left to meet somewhere. When Saul left his father's house,
• 2:09:52
  at the point they were tired, they said, let's go back.
• 2:09:55
  He said, no, we can't go back. We have come
• 2:09:56
  too far. The same energy it takes to go back
• 2:09:59
  is the same energy it takes to continue. Let's finish up.
• 2:10:02
  There is a sayer, And as soon as they went
• 2:10:06
  by the gates, they met this mysterious man called Somewhere Somewhere.
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 2: Loved it said, go up. I will come and tell
• 2:10:13
  you what is in your heart.
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 1: You will get up one morning thinking it will be
• 2:10:18
  like any other day, and God will position someone.
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 2: You do not know that you have just wrapped up
• 2:10:23
  your season of training.
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you this. How do you know your
• 2:10:29
  season of training has come to an end? God himself
• 2:10:34
  defines the moment for you. But I tell you this
• 2:10:37
  for everyone who ended seasons. A man was there to
• 2:10:41
  lift his hands. If you are Joseph, Pharaoh is there.
• 2:10:45
  If you are soul, somewhere is there. For as long
• 2:10:49
  as you have not seen your some well keep moving.
• 2:10:52
  For as long as you have not seen Pharaoh. Joseph,
• 2:10:55
  keep interpreting the dreams for free. There will come you
• 2:10:58
  will interpret it, and it to not for free again,
• 2:11:01
  but qualify. Do it for the one presser for free,
• 2:11:05
  do it for the baker for free. Let the one
• 2:11:07
  presser forget you for two years is still a test, because.
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 2: One night Pharaoh will send for you.
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 1: And on that day you will not interpret for free again.
• 2:11:20
  Why will Joseph interpret the dream for free? Interpret this
• 2:11:25
  for free? And even beg the man and said, please,
• 2:11:28
  if you get to Pharaoh, telling mi Amino, send and
• 2:11:31
  he forgot. But when the moment was gone, every night
• 2:11:41
  Jesus kept teaching them and telling them the promise of
• 2:11:43
  the Spirit is coming. They waited and waited and waited
• 2:11:47
  for fifty days after he ascended. But the Bible says
• 2:11:50
  now asks chapter two, one, verse one, we're praying now.
• 2:11:54
  When the day of Pentecost was fully come, it says
• 2:11:57
  they were gathered with one accord, verse two. Please read
• 2:12:02
  with me the first two words one to read one
• 2:12:06
  more time, one more time. This is how the season
• 2:12:11
  of appearance happens. And suddenly he got the job, and
• 2:12:17
  suddenly the mantle of his destiny came upon him. And
• 2:12:21
  suddenly the woman got pregnant after thirty years, and suddenly
• 2:12:26
  God opened the door, and suddenly the ministry began to blossom.
• 2:12:35
  Listen to me, I can tell you this. You know
• 2:12:40
  you and your season of appearing, because suddenly things just
• 2:12:45
  change with speed.
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 2: You look back and say, how did this happen?
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 1: When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, the
• 2:12:55
  Bible says, we were like them that dream when the
• 2:13:03
  Lord began to open doors of ministry for me, When
• 2:13:06
  the Lord began to show me his messy on that wise,
• 2:13:10
  it came with such level of speed I could no
• 2:13:13
  longer accommodate my schedules. What is this new thing that
• 2:13:16
  is happening to me? It's as if a courtain just
• 2:13:19
  open everywhere. Joshua Selman, I know how seasons of greatness comes.
• 2:13:25
  What can I tell you this? While you wait? Cry?
• 2:13:29
  What wait? Keep doing?
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 2: What is asking you to do?
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 1: You? Soort the seed like a fool, and you are
• 2:13:35
  sitting down and God, can I tell you this? Nobody
• 2:13:40
  has exhausted his season yet. The moment you get to
• 2:13:43
  that season of a caring, then the next level starts
• 2:13:47
  with the same cycle again, preparation and then manifestation, then
• 2:13:53
  the next cycle of the next preparation, you don't exhaust it.
• 2:13:57
  Look at our father and the Lord Bishop Telly there
• 2:13:59
  echo when he was building the fat tabernacle. Oh did
• 2:14:05
  he know another one was coming? When Babad Devoy was
• 2:14:09
  building the old Crown of redeem That one is a
• 2:14:13
  miracle already. That is somebody's prayer pointing many lifetimes.
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 2: But after enduring, God now told him build three.
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 1: Kilometers by three kilometers next instruction.
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 2: I remember those days in the ministry we used to
• 2:14:29
  sit on.
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 1: The ground on mats, and then the days of Zariah,
• 2:14:34
  and then now he's brought us into the city. Only
• 2:14:37
  God knows how many episodes of this greatness will happen
• 2:14:40
  in our lifetime. That is why he's dangerous to over
• 2:14:46
  celebrate rems. They would distract you. There is a healthy
• 2:14:49
  way to celebrate and prepare, because every time you attain
• 2:14:54
  a manifestation of a rem the preparation for the next
• 2:14:57
  rem should start immediately. This is how champion leave. Champions
• 2:15:01
  never plat two. Champions never rest. As soon as they
• 2:15:05
  part their back, they know that you are beginning another second.
• 2:15:09
  Listen to what I'm telling you. Some of you, this
• 2:15:11
  is the reason why you rose up in ministry. You
• 2:15:14
  rose up in your finances. As soon as you made
• 2:15:17
  one million, ten million, one hundred million, you just plat.
• 2:15:20
  You are my soul. Fine rest you look at our
• 2:15:26
  fathers in the Lord today, it's as if they're just
• 2:15:28
  thirty Ministry. I returned back from Enugu and I was
• 2:15:32
  seeing the posters of our father, babak Kumui everywhere. I said,
• 2:15:36
  at this age, this man is still traveling and holding
• 2:15:39
  through sage as if he's trying to gain visibility. Please, sir,
• 2:15:44
  let me give you an advice. When people clap for you,
• 2:15:47
  so sustain the courage to tell them it's enough. Because
• 2:15:50
  I'm already focusing on the training for the next season.
• 2:16:00
  May wrap up. We're going to pray give us Mark
• 2:16:04
  chapter four from verse twenty six. Let me show you
• 2:16:06
  the three levels of stepping into your season of appearing
• 2:16:13
  Mark chapter four from verse twenty six. Please look up, everybody,
• 2:16:17
  never forget this spiritual formula. We're about to pray. And
• 2:16:22
  he said, so is the kingdom of God, as if
• 2:16:26
  a man should cast seed where into the ground twenty seven,
• 2:16:31
  and should sleep and rise up night and day, and
• 2:16:36
  the seed should spring and grow up here nowhere? Not
• 2:16:43
  is it in your bible? There now here is the
• 2:16:47
  progression for the eight bring get forth foot of herself
• 2:16:53
  now when it has to do it, bringing fourth fruit,
• 2:16:56
  three levels, fest the blade, then the ear, after that
• 2:17:04
  the full blown corn in the air. When you begin
• 2:17:09
  to step into seasons of greatness, everything will not happen
• 2:17:13
  at once. There are levels first the air. You will
• 2:17:18
  begin to see God. Oh no you. There are politicians today,
• 2:17:23
  for instance, who started.
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 2: As local government chairmen.
• 2:17:26
  Speaker 1: When they won't they celebrated, and God told them be careful,
• 2:17:29
  don't stop here. There is still another height. And then
• 2:17:32
  maybe they went to state House of Assembly and so
• 2:17:34
  on and so forth, and many are still on their
• 2:17:36
  way transitting. There are business people. I remember for some
• 2:17:41
  of you here you will sit down and tell yourself, ah,
• 2:17:44
  I just made one million, and one million will look
• 2:17:47
  like forever for you. You are happy. Coming from your background.
• 2:17:50
  This is a miracle, and God says, celebrate. But the
• 2:17:53
  day will come you'll be feeding nations and they will come.
• 2:17:57
  You will sign a million dollars two million dollars and
• 2:18:00
  give nations, and they will ask you how did it feel?
• 2:18:02
  The first that you say, I still can't remember. It
• 2:18:09
  was Pastor Nathaniel Bassie, dear friend and brother, who was
• 2:18:12
  sharing about the things that were happening to him that
• 2:18:15
  a time came in this nation.
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 2: When he was under his late.
• 2:18:19
  Speaker 1: Pastor, nobody knew anything about him. There are footballers who
• 2:18:26
  suffered as if God did not call them every clops.
• 2:18:30
  I pushed them away and they kept enduring, and when
• 2:18:34
  their season came, just one person looked at them and
• 2:18:36
  said come, and that was it. They never returned again. Well,
• 2:18:40
  I went to pray. Let me share with you a
• 2:18:41
  story many years ago. I went to a place called
• 2:18:48
  Premier Hotel in Ibadan. When I went there, it was
• 2:18:59
  night and I didn't even have the money to pay
• 2:19:04
  for any place for accommodation.
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 2: And I'm telling you, I said, God, what is this.
• 2:19:11
  Speaker 1: I entered the place, looked around, you know, wonderful place,
• 2:19:15
  and I was seeing people and I could not pay
• 2:19:17
  for the place. I could not even pay for any place.
• 2:19:20
  Looking around, I was just hanging around. I couldn't hang
• 2:19:22
  out inside, so I was outside. And then eventually I
• 2:19:27
  made up my mind. I say, I can't stay like
• 2:19:28
  this till morning. There was a church somewhere. I tracked
• 2:19:33
  and I found a church that was doing night virgin.
• 2:19:36
  I joined them to do that Vigi, so that I
• 2:19:38
  don't waste There's no need wasting time.
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 2: I tell you this.
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 1: And then a few years later I would go to
• 2:19:46
  preach within that region, and right from I think it
• 2:19:50
  was from the airport LS. So I can't remember the
• 2:19:52
  whole story. Now. I saw people greeting me protocol, people
• 2:19:56
  with cars, and they were leading me to my place
• 2:19:58
  of stay.
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 2: Guess where they took me. When I saw.
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 1: Myself climbing that hell, tears filled my eyes and I said,
• 2:20:07
  oh God, only a fool, since there is no God.
• 2:20:11
  When they dropped me there, they took me to their
• 2:20:14
  highest suit and I was there. I usually travel with
• 2:20:17
  my people, and they were outside. They were swimming. There
• 2:20:22
  was a programming evening, you know, but these guys were
• 2:20:25
  swimming playing table tennis, and I was watching them from
• 2:20:28
  that place.
• 2:20:28
  Speaker 2: I said, it's not your fault, my your people.
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 1: They were happy and joining themselves by the pool, and
• 2:20:40
  I was watching. I said, oh, dear, but what if
• 2:20:46
  because of what happened at that moment? I said, you
• 2:20:48
  know what, this ministry was just folded. That's all. Do
• 2:20:54
  you know how many people are cheering you in the
• 2:20:56
  spirit and saying, for our sake, don't give up. We
• 2:20:59
  have been for you.
• 2:21:02
  Speaker 2: Do you know how many bond children who are saying.
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 1: Doctor, you will be the consult and who will deliver
• 2:21:09
  me or in cases see us. Make sure you keep
• 2:21:11
  giving your best. Do you know how many people who
• 2:21:14
  are saying, business man, it is your scholarship that is
• 2:21:17
  going to raise me to have an encounter. Don't give up.
• 2:21:20
  There are nameless faces in the spirit shining the angels
• 2:21:24
  to say you have come too far. You have come
• 2:21:29
  too far a person you don't know how many times
• 2:21:32
  have failed. Do not worry.
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 2: There is something called failing forward.
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 5: Look up.
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 1: If you entire plane and the plane is moving and
• 2:21:43
  you go back to the back seat, are you going backwards?
• 2:21:47
  A plane moving forward even though inside the plane you
• 2:21:50
  are moving back overall, are you going backward? That's what
• 2:21:54
  we call failing forward. There is failure as an event,
• 2:21:58
  there is failure as a person. I'm speaking here tonight
• 2:22:01
  to a man of God who went for a crusade,
• 2:22:04
  saying God called you, and you went there. No body
• 2:22:07
  was healed, only one person was saved. The people said,
• 2:22:09
  don't ever tell us God called you again, and you
• 2:22:11
  return back wondering. Or a prophet who profits like ten cases,
• 2:22:15
  you got zero. You didn't. Everything you saw was wrong
• 2:22:18
  and you are wandering. Lord, did you really call me?
• 2:22:21
  What of a business man who five businesses? You lost money?
• 2:22:25
  You fell completely.
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 2: I bring you words of comfort.
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 1: In this kingdom, there is something called the season of
• 2:22:32
  preparation and the season of appearing. During your season of preparation,
• 2:22:39
  you discover God, You discover you. You discover that rod
• 2:22:44
  that you will be using to do mighty things for
• 2:22:46
  the kingdom. Can I tell you this, no matter how
• 2:22:49
  many times you fall, don't through that road.
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 2: That is the rod that you will part the Red
• 2:22:53
  Sea with.
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 1: Make sure by the time you get to the Red Sea,
• 2:22:57
  you don't get there alone. Get there with your own.
• 2:23:00
  Your rod can be your voice. Your rod can be
• 2:23:03
  your hands, Your rod can be your brain, Your rod
• 2:23:06
  can be your character. Every pay that can help you
• 2:23:12
  today with thank God for the privilege of this road
• 2:23:15
  he has so trained us to hold. It was once
• 2:23:18
  the rod of Moses, but when he handed it over
• 2:23:21
  to God, it became the rod of God. Never called
• 2:23:24
  the rod of Moses again. It is called the voice
• 2:23:27
  of you. But when you hand it over to God,
• 2:23:30
  it's now called the voice of God. It would now
• 2:23:33
  sing songs that will go around the world. It will
• 2:23:36
  now preach messages that will go around the world. Be
• 2:23:44
  careful when you laugh at people who are in their
• 2:23:47
  seasons of training. You may be laughing at your destiny helper,
• 2:23:51
  and bury your head in shame forever. There are people
• 2:23:54
  who laugh at young people, thinking they will never rise.
• 2:23:57
  There are people who love that business people. Can I
• 2:24:00
  tell you this, Sometimes God allows people to witness your
• 2:24:04
  failure so that there will be the defenders.
• 2:24:06
  Speaker 2: Of your greatness.
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 1: They will say, no, no, no, no, no, no no no.
• 2:24:09
  I saw this man of God. I knew when you
• 2:24:12
  held them who say that nobody was there. I saw
• 2:24:15
  this business person. My mother. I even gave him twenty
• 2:24:19
  in Iran. Don't be ashamed of your season of tears.
• 2:24:22
  The scar on your hand today. You've heard me say
• 2:24:26
  it what you are ashamed of today will become your
• 2:24:29
  symbol of honor tomorrow. Are you ready to pray? Let's
• 2:24:35
  stop here tonight. Please rise upon your feet. Please not
• 2:24:40
  moving around. Lend me two or three minutes. We're going
• 2:24:43
  to pray. We're going to pray. We're going to pray.
• 2:24:48
  You're going to lift up your voice in the next
• 2:24:50
  two or three minutes, and you're going to cry before
• 2:24:53
  the God of Heaven. You're going to tell him, Lord,
• 2:24:57
  I am in my season of preparation. Crant me, Grant
• 2:25:01
  me grace. Leaves your voice and pray. If someone pray,
• 2:25:04
  grant me grace to discover you. Some of you are
• 2:25:08
  just starting in destiny. God may not be talking to
• 2:25:11
  you about purpose. God may not be talking to you
• 2:25:14
  about ministry. He may not be talking to you about
• 2:25:17
  your assignment. He will talk to you about himself. He
• 2:25:21
  wants you to know him, not your talent.
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 6: God.
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 1: First, lift your voice and pray. Cry before the Lord.
• 2:25:31
  Your meta shut in the beginning, God over my life.
• 2:25:40
  So what will start as a ministry starts us an
• 2:25:44
  encounter with God. What will start as a kingdog financing
• 2:25:47
  ministry will still start as God? What will start as
• 2:25:51
  a kingdog. Political career still starts as God. Every thing,
• 2:25:56
  no matter what it is, if it is in its beginning,
• 2:26:00
  it is God. Pray, pray, Pray for your destiny. Salaska
• 2:26:12
  a posta the faith of development. Lord, grant me the discipline,
• 2:26:26
  Grant me the diligence. May I not bumppome myself. May
• 2:26:31
  I not bump out my destiny. Let pay not be
• 2:26:36
  a destruction. Let pay not constitute a limitation. Grant me

  the graceful endio, like a faithful soldier. Building building my mind,
• 2:26:49
  building my gifts, building my mind, building my value, building
• 2:26:55
  my mind, building my value. If someone praying h building
• 2:27:11
  my mind, building my value. This is a template that
• 2:27:17
  our fathers followed. This is a template that our fathers
• 2:27:21
  TeV us. This is a template the scripture gives us.
• 2:27:25
  We cannot compromise on the pattern. Prayer for the season
• 2:27:32
  of pests. Oh that when God will prove me here,
• 2:27:36
  may I be fetful that when God will prove me,
• 2:27:39
  may I have to standina to remain. You are continued
• 2:27:44
  with me. You are continued with destiny. Our librarast the
• 2:27:53
  bracket that shot the bracket.
• 2:27:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I will finish my season of training with honor,
• 2:28:00
  with nobility, with our no with nobility, with all no Ho,
• 2:28:05
  with nobility, with all no Ho, with nobility, with all
• 2:28:10
  no Ho, with nobility.
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 1: Allelujah. You know what I mean. Now you are going
• 2:28:19
  to pray for sensitivity so that you will not be
• 2:28:23
  missing and the dead the grace for appearance comes. May
• 2:28:27
  you find you where God asks you to stay. Listen.
• 2:28:30
  The devil can cheat you through offense. The devil can
• 2:28:34
  hit you through impatience. The devil can cheat you through
• 2:28:38
  the manipulation of demonic spirits to not be where the
• 2:28:42
  grace for your season of appearances? Who find you? I
• 2:28:45
  like you to pray and cry for grace, sensitivity or
• 2:28:49
  God to be where my lifting will meet me. If
• 2:28:52
  someone pray a lacklust black at it ran against Katos,
• 2:29:02
  he says he go ahead, Please pray shot pakatoski Ata.
• 2:29:12
  This is the spirit trust strategy here for greatness. This
• 2:29:17
  is the spirit trust strategy in this kingdom. There is
• 2:29:20
  no matches about how we rise. This is the protocol,
• 2:29:24
  non emotional, non neg courtship, non emotional non neggotship. I
• 2:29:36
  obtain grace to be sensity to the man that God
• 2:29:42
  will send when my season of appearing comes, I will
• 2:29:46
  be sensitive to the instructions that come. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Listen
• 2:29:57
  to me, some of you before that season comes, prepare
• 2:30:02
  your CV and keep it waiting, so that if they
• 2:30:05
  ask for it in two minutes, you can send war.
• 2:30:09
  Besides a man, when your help has called, you say,
• 2:30:12
  I'm not yet prepared. That was a mistake of the
• 2:30:14
  five foolish virgins. They were all virgins. But what made
• 2:30:20
  some wise and foolish was some carried extra oil. It
• 2:30:24
  was time. The longevity of the time was what separated them.
• 2:30:30
  Just because you are among the vagins does not mean
• 2:30:33
  you will see the groom's man. Five carried extra oil.
• 2:30:38
  They said, paradventure, we are stretched beyond time. We will
• 2:30:43
  steal from this oil. And the others did not. And
• 2:30:46
  even though the Bible still respects the fact that they
• 2:30:48
  were virgins, is said they were foolish vagins. So while
• 2:30:53
  you are praying, sometimes the prayer you are praying is
• 2:30:56
  not for ministry again, it's for the days when you
• 2:30:59
  need to stand it. There are extra things God is
• 2:31:02
  giving you. Don't throw them away. Don't throw the extra oil.
• 2:31:06
  There are them that sell. If you don't see them
• 2:31:09
  on time. The Bible says when they went to buy,
• 2:31:13
  there was a lamentation. Behold the bridegroom, the season of
• 2:31:18
  appearing iss come and they say, everybody got up. They
• 2:31:22
  lift your lamb and for orders. The oil was not there,
• 2:31:25
  and they said, sorry, even though you have waited this long,
• 2:31:28
  you have still missed the season. Go to them that
• 2:31:31
  sell and buy. That means you can buy on time,
• 2:31:35
  because in edy case you will still buy. Be sure
• 2:31:38
  that you don't buy too late. By when you are young,
• 2:31:42
  buy before children come, by, before responsibilities come, buy before preaching,
• 2:31:47
  engagements occupy you buy oil by lamb, by before your
• 2:31:52
  fame goes away. Build character, build grace.
• 2:31:55
  Speaker 2: Build stamina. That's buying the oil.
• 2:32:00
  Speaker 1: Can I tell you this.
• 2:32:03
  Speaker 2: I look at my.
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 1: Life today, and with every sense of respect, sometimes I
• 2:32:08
  look at it and I say this public life sometimes
• 2:32:11
  can be so distracting. I will pass and see something
• 2:32:16
  that I like on the street. I can't stop to
• 2:32:19
  buy it because both the person is selling it and
• 2:32:21
  everybody there, it will become something else. Once upon a
• 2:32:25
  time I had my liberty to live my life. A
• 2:32:28
  day will come you will not have the time to
• 2:32:30
  do what you're doing. I'm telling you, look how long
• 2:32:33
  we stay here. There was a time we had all
• 2:32:35
  the liberty. So when God is stretching, you see yourself
• 2:32:39
  as going to them that sell some of you. God
• 2:32:41
  is bringing you here. It may not be convenient. You
• 2:32:44
  come from very far, and God says, still come, because
• 2:32:48
  a day will come. You may not even be in
• 2:32:50
  this country again. They will come. You may not even
• 2:32:53
  be in Abuja again. But Elijah, you eat small, eat again.
• 2:32:57
  The journey is still far. Please go back and listen
• 2:33:07
  to this message again. Go to coin on your global
• 2:33:10
  you will find it on YouTube. Listen again and again
• 2:33:14
  and again. Take note of all these teachings that God
• 2:33:17
  has been bringing. Call somebody who you know is going
• 2:33:20
  through a season he does not understand. Tell him I
• 2:33:22
  having a message for you. There is a spiritual strategy
• 2:33:26
  for greatness. Let this message explain to you the happenings
• 2:33:29
  in your life. But as for me, I made up
• 2:33:34
  my mind not to over celebrate realms because I know
• 2:33:38
  compared to where God is taking me and compared to
• 2:33:41
  where God is taking this ministry, Thank God for it.
• 2:33:45
  But we're only starting. I tell you, this is not
• 2:33:49
  what I saw in the visions No, you must insist
• 2:33:52
  till what God showed you comes to pass. When God
• 2:33:57
  showed this, we saw nations, not a city. So yours
• 2:34:01
  is to believe. Thank God for what God is doing
• 2:34:04
  across the globe. But can I tell you, as a
• 2:34:06
  great family of faith, let us give God praise.
• 2:34:08
  Speaker 2: But let's not be too distracted.
• 2:34:10
  Speaker 1: There is a distraction that greatness and success at a
• 2:34:15
  level brings.
• 2:34:17
  Speaker 2: We can become full of ourselves. Coinonia.
• 2:34:20
  Speaker 1: God is doing ABC compared to the miraculous who are
• 2:34:23
  just playing child's play, compared to levels of fire to
• 2:34:26
  change territories.
• 2:34:28
  Speaker 2: This is just This is still a school of the spirit.
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 1: Stay with God and let him be done with you,
• 2:34:33
  and you will see that You will send one word
• 2:34:35
  and it to shift the spiritual climate of nations. I
• 2:34:39
  leave you with this word tonight. Therefore hear me. The
• 2:34:42
  Bible says, seeing them that we are surrounded by so
• 2:34:45
  great a cloud of witnesses. It says, let us lay
• 2:34:47
  aside every weight and the sin that don't easily beset us.
• 2:34:51
  Then it says, to run with passiverance the race that
• 2:34:55
  is set before us, looking up to Jesus, who is
• 2:34:58
  the author and the finish of your faith modeling from
• 2:35:02
  him who for the joy that was set before him,
• 2:35:06
  he and cured the cross and despised the shame. Father,
• 2:35:12
  we thank you for the privilege of coming to your
• 2:35:14
  house tonight in the name of Jesus Christ. Please would
• 2:35:19
  you give me one minute, being that this pastor came
• 2:35:25
  all the way to fellowship with us from Goshen, and
• 2:35:28
  we truly honor you alongside our fathers, Baba Aboyah and
• 2:35:34
  Bishop with Adepo. These are fathers that I respect. These
• 2:35:38
  are people who have brought us grace and it will
• 2:35:40
  not be a wise thing to just finish like this.
• 2:35:43
  So please, if I would just invite him to come
• 2:35:46
  and speak it blessing on behalf of Goshen, the grace
• 2:35:51
  upon living faith. Let's honor him as it comes. Allelujah.

  prays the name of the Lord. Now, please let me
• 2:38:46
  encourage you with I believe in the force of in gathering,
• 2:38:51
  just like we have learned from our father's and even
• 2:38:53
  though God has honored us, please sear me. I am
• 2:38:57
  very passionate about souls and this is God's mandate for us.
• 2:39:01
  Can I encourage you? Don't say Coinonia has crowds. This
• 2:39:05
  is not about crowd Make sure that every time you
• 2:39:08
  come to church, please drag somebody and bring him to
• 2:39:11
  the House of the Lord. Many of you, when you
• 2:39:13
  hear these messages, you think about your family members, and
• 2:39:17
  you think about your people. This is more than just
• 2:39:19
  trying to help a man of God to have this.
• 2:39:23
  This is not the idea at all. I must lend
• 2:39:25
  my voice and challenge you be a so winer. If
• 2:39:29
  souls are not saved, lives will not be changed, a
• 2:39:32
  territory will not be transformed. So commit yourself to the
• 2:39:36
  ministry of ingathering. Commit yourself to helping and letting people
• 2:39:40
  know and see Jesus, are we together now let them
• 2:39:43
  know God is changing lives and that you desire for
• 2:39:46
  them to be changed. Grant them access to the teachings
• 2:39:49
  is a gift that you can give them. There is
• 2:39:51
  a reason why it is free. It has always been free,
• 2:39:55
  so that the limitations of resources will be broken and
• 2:39:58
  you would have no esque for your edification. And make
• 2:40:01
  sure that you continue to grow and this world will
• 2:40:04
  keep building you. In the name of Jesus. Very quickly,
• 2:40:09
  I want to make an altar call. Please let's minimize movement.
• 2:40:13
  You have received the blessing, you have heard the world
• 2:40:15
  some of you, you and your season of preparation, and
• 2:40:18
  you are even yet to start, or perhaps you've started
• 2:40:21
  doing other things mine not God. Please keep standing. I
• 2:40:23
  know you've been standing. Let's stand. We're almost wrapping up.

  There are people here. You came to church and you're saying, Apostle,
• 2:40:31
  haven't heard you. I know that I need Jesus. Orthers.
• 2:40:34
  You've given your life to Jesus, but you need to
• 2:40:36
  reddicate your life to Jesus. Whether you are here in
• 2:40:39
  the overflow following from your home, I am going to
• 2:40:43
  count one to five and give you an opportunity, especially

  that you are within here. Please don't be ashamed. Don't
• 2:40:48
  wait for anyone to come before you. I like you

  to boldly make that decision. Come to Jesus. It's giving
• 2:40:54
  you a new beginning. Are you ready? One, Let's celebrate

  Bible says, But the gift of God is eternal life
• 2:41:19
  through Jesus Christ his Son. Keep coming. Win that war tonight,
• 2:41:23
