Speaker 1: Hallelujah, hallelujah. God bless you in Jesus' name. I'm happy
0:20
to be in Enego again.
0:22
Speaker 2: This is.
0:25
Speaker 1: This is happy new year for me and and God
0:27
bless you in Jesus name. Thank you so much, Master Edwin.
0:32
It's an honor to be here again and to bring
0:35
God's word to his people. And I like us while
0:40
standing to not just honor the man of God, the
0:44
angel over this house, but I really want us to
0:47
take a moment and honor our father Bishop or no gogo,
0:52
let's give him a big God bless you.
0:55
Speaker 2: I was very humble.
0:59
Speaker 1: When I heard that he flew in all the way
1:02
from London, arrived yesterday and then was at the airport.
1:05
In fact, I was trying to tell the people where
1:08
I come from. A man at this age should not
1:11
be found in the airport receiving a small boy like this,
1:14
but he has so decided to do so. And I
1:17
truly honor you, sir, Laddy, Thank you, thank you, thank you.
1:20
Speaker 2: Sincerely.
1:23
Speaker 1: I honor every man and every woman of God in
1:25
this place. You would notice that I do this all
1:28
the time. Before I teach, I do it because I
1:31
believe it. Number two, I do it so that those
1:33
who are watching will learn there is nobility in showing honor.
1:37
When you honor people, it shows that you recognize that
1:41
we're only bought products of God's grace.
1:43
Speaker 2: Allelujah.
1:45
Speaker 1: I truly believe with all my heart that this conference
1:48
was designed by God for someone here tonight. I was
1:52
very touched and humbled when I saw several people all
1:55
of the overflows outside here. I think there's one outside
1:58
of the fence, hungry and desperate people. I want to
2:02
assure you that you came to meet beyond a man.
2:07
There are things that men cannot do, but there is
2:09
the God of heaven, the one who satisfies the.
2:13
Speaker 2: Hungry, who brings water even to the thirsty. Allelujah.
2:17
Speaker 1: And I'm also honored to find you know your noble
2:20
people within the land coming also politicians coming to participate.
2:26
It's a very great thing because we lead out of
2:29
our convictions. Whatever you believe is what you translate to policies,
2:34
is what governs your actions.
2:36
Speaker 2: So I really want to say thank you, and I
2:39
trust that tonight.
2:40
Speaker 1: Will really be a time that God will just dig
2:46
deep into our spirits and walk the things that produce
2:49
victory and restoration.
2:51
Speaker 2: Let me encourage you to not be distracted.
2:54
Speaker 1: There are people who label so much to conform meetings,
2:57
but once they arrive, they hand over the concentration to
3:01
the devil and they literally waste their time. They don't
3:03
get anything. They don't gain anything. They love, They snap pictures,
3:08
They share the grace and go back. Let your heart
3:12
and your spirit be in this place. In the name
3:14
of Jesus, Father, give me an encounter tonight. Can you
3:19
cry to the God of Heaven by your spirit. Those
3:26
who are following online likely to connect. The world of
3:31
God is about to come for our profiting. A man
3:35
of God is praying. Someone desperate for God is praying.
3:39
Someone hungry for restoration spray. Indeed, God has anointed voices
3:46
to speak restoration. They are taken for a pray and
3:50
non say and restore. Now God has anointed us to
3:55
bring words of restoration. Heart's opened, my spirit is alive.
4:03
I am sensitive to your speaking. So God, speak to me,
4:07
speak to my destiny. Someone is praying, Take a minute
4:16
and speak speak to me.
4:18
Speaker 3: Oh God, A granti la corporat scholar Brandy gave a
4:32
la dahlahlahadah.
4:35
Speaker 1: Alleluiah, praise the name of the Lord. In Look chapter fifteen,
4:41
I believe Jesus gave. Among the many parables that he gave,
4:46
he gave one that is called the parable of the
4:50
lost Coin, Allelujah. And in that parable he said a
4:54
woman had ten coins representing treasures, and then that for
5:00
whatever reason, one of the coin was missing, and so
5:05
she needed to find that one coin, because she was
5:09
given ten, but for some reason one was missing. And
5:13
the Bible says, the first thing that she did was
5:16
to light a candle. It is vain to seuch in darkness,
5:22
you would not find it. One thing she knew was
5:24
that that coin was in that room, but where exactly
5:28
it was she could not find. And so she lit
5:31
a candle allelujah. And the Bible says, the spirit of
5:36
man is the candle of the Lord. And when he
5:39
lights that fire upon your candle, the Bible says, she
5:42
began to search. It takes zeal and passion, hunger, and
5:48
determination to search. And as she began to get a
5:51
broom and sweep, we don't know how long it took her,
5:55
but eventually she swept a corner and there came the treasure.
6:00
And she called everybody to come and rejoice with her
6:03
and praying for you. Some of you have lost many things.
6:06
Some of you lost levels of honor in the spirit.
6:11
Some of you have lost strategic relationships. Some of you
6:14
are about losing your bishopry due to carelessness and sensitivity.
6:19
Some of you have lost direction in life and ministry.
6:23
It's my prayer for you that as this fire lands
6:29
upon your spirit, that in the name of Jesus, the
6:33
Son of the Living God, you will find that which
6:36
was missing, no matter how long it's been missing. In
6:40
the name of Jesus Christ, you will find that which
6:44
was missing, no matter how.
6:46
Speaker 2: Long it was missing, in the name of Jesus Christ.
6:50
Let's take two minutes and praying the.
6:52
Speaker 1: Spirit desperately passionate you seriously, go ahead and pray.
7:01
Speaker 2: We're praying in the spirit passionately for the next two minutes.

7:43
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ. Let me give you
7:46
one scripture, will pray it, and then will be seated.
7:49
Amos Chapter nine, verse thirteen and fourteen. Please help us
7:56
media Amos Chapter nine, thirteen and fourteen. I believe this
8:00
is a prophetic word for someone. It says, behold the
8:03
days come, say the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake
8:07
the ripper and the treader of grapes, him that sow
8:11
at seed, and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and
8:15
the heels shall melt.
8:17
Speaker 2: Verse fourteen. It says, and I will.
8:19
Speaker 1: Bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and
8:24
they shall.
8:24
Speaker 2: Build the waste cities and inhabit them.
8:28
Speaker 1: They shall plant fine yards and shall drink the wine thereof.
8:32
They shall also make gardens and eat the fruit thereof.
8:36
And praying for you that everything that has left your life,
8:40
by whatever means, in the name of Jesus Christ, the
8:43
Son of the Living God, as you hear.
8:45
Speaker 2: The war tonight, let there be restoration. As you hear
8:51
the war tonight, let there be restoration in the name
8:56
of Jesus. In the name of Jesus.
9:02
Speaker 1: When Samwell met Saul, Samuel never asked the donkey that
9:08
was missing to go back. At the instance of that encounter,
9:13
the Bible tells us that the donkey began to find
9:16
his way home. Remember it was the same donkey that
9:20
led them on that Johnny three days until they decided
9:23
to stop wasting their.
9:24
Speaker 2: Time and to go ad meet a seer who had
9:27
the counsel of God.
9:28
Speaker 1: And as soon as Saul met with Samuel, Saone was
9:33
not even talking to him about what was missing again.
9:35
He began to deal with nobler things, the matter of
9:38
his ordination and his election. And he said, but so
9:42
that you will know that you really encountered a man
9:44
of God, that which you are looking for, that it
9:47
has gone back for someone.
9:50
Speaker 2: While you are in church, something else is looking for you.
9:56
Speaker 1: And that something else for someone can be a desired,
9:59
an longing in your heart, and for some that may
10:02
be the desire that has attempted distracting you from God.
10:06
But while you are in the house of God, what
10:08
you have been looking for me, find you, I profess
10:13
side to your maid.
10:14
Speaker 2: Find you in the name of Jesus Christ.
10:19
Speaker 1: Prospouse by your war tonight, and be glorified, for in
10:24
Jesus' name we pray a man, please be seated, Please
10:29
be seated. The Lord stead it in my heart to
10:33
start with us in a very interesting way tonight. The
10:38
subject of restoration is one that I have studied myself. I,
10:44
by reason of this work, have had occasion to talk
10:49
to people who have lost things, have lost loved ones,
10:55
have lost opportunities, have lost relationships, people who have back sliding.
11:00
And we're trusting God for a restoration of fire and grace.
11:05
And so the subject of restoration is one that generally
11:08
speacame everyone who has particularly served in the ministry should
11:13
have been accustomed to, because losses are almost a human phenomenon.
11:20
People lose time, they lose things, they lose joy away
11:24
together now and so I wanted to listen to the
11:30
things that I'm going to be sharing with you, because
11:33
the secret of excelling in this kingdom is that you
11:36
receive light Easicel Chapter two one and two. He said,
11:40
son of Man, stand up upon your feet. And he
11:43
did not have the strength to. And thus two says
11:46
the spirit end tad me. When he speak onto me
11:50
and set me upon my feet, the spirit end taed me.
11:54
Speaker 2: Allelujah. God is a restorer. Now.
11:59
Speaker 1: The Bible identifies God with several names, and like you
12:04
may have learned, the names of God are a capture
12:07
of the various dimensions that are contained within his person.
12:12
Speaker 2: So the experience was this way in the Old Testament.
12:14
Speaker 1: Every time they saw a marvelous dimension of God, they
12:18
would name him after that dimension, so that if you
12:21
wanted to see a replica of that dimension, you would
12:24
invoke that name away together. So whether you call him
12:28
Gyra or Rapha, or see Kenu or Shalom, it's still
12:32
the same God brought various expressions.
12:35
Speaker 2: All those names came because men.
12:38
Speaker 1: Saw spectacular manifestations of God in their lives, and they
12:43
trapped those experiences in names. And every time you call
12:47
God that name, what you are doing is invoking the
12:51
power that reproduces that experience.
12:54
Speaker 2: Are we learning now?
12:55
Speaker 1: So when you call him Jyra, he doesn't heal your body.
12:59
That dimension is not for healing. That dimension deals with insufficiency.
13:05
Speaker 2: Are we together now?
13:06
Speaker 1: When you call him Rapha, you don't prosper financially and
13:10
other dimensions. Rafa deals with health and cure, he says,
13:14
and I will restore health and kure.
13:18
Speaker 2: Are we together?
13:19
Speaker 1: So it's important to know that God operates dimensionally. He
13:24
is God almighty, but in dealing with men, he operates dimensionally,
13:29
and studying the systems that govern his various dimensions will
13:34
be your advantage in this kingdom. That means it is
13:38
possible for you to know God and to know how
13:41
He moves as far as a certain area is concerned,
13:44
Say your health, and never know how God or the
13:47
Kingdom operates in another area, say leadership, say your finances.
13:52
You can excel in that area where you have found light,
13:55
and so fail woefully in another area. Your knowledge of
13:59
God in one area does not automatically cover for the
14:02
deficiency in another area.
14:04
Speaker 2: Are we together?
14:05
Speaker 1: Yes, Job said I have heard of the with the
14:08
hearing of the ear, it says, but now my I
14:11
ad another dimension of reality.
14:13
Speaker 2: There were things I heard about you.
14:15
Speaker 1: I've experienced some results myself, But now I have seen you, Clara,
14:19
I have come into a greater comprehension of light. And
14:23
so we're going to be dealing with restoration all through
14:25
my session, across various levels.
14:28
Speaker 2: You know that the Bible is.
14:30
Speaker 1: Full of people who lost many, many things. People lost
14:35
joy in the Bible. People lost peace in the Bible.
14:38
In fact, the Sammy said it this way. It says,
14:41
restore onto me, not time, not things, the joy of
14:45
my salvation, allelujah. People lost their peace, People still lose
14:51
their peace. People lost their health, like you'll be learning.
14:55
An example was a man called Hezekiah. The Bible archives
15:00
several people who went through all kinds of bodily ailments.
15:04
Some recovered, some died away together. And then the Bible
15:09
talks about people who lost money, nations lost whatever it is,
15:13
Kings lost their throne, people lost their estate. Even those
15:19
who were once with God as spirit beings in the
15:22
angelic order, the Bible says they lost their original estate.
15:27
And so losses are things that are scattered all around
15:29
our world, and sadly, it's even experienced even in the
15:32
realm of the spirit. You will think if you were
15:34
not on earth, losses would not come to you. But
15:37
the Bible had recorded losses even in the realm of
15:40
the spirit. The angels that fell experienced those losses right
15:44
from the realm of the spirit. So it's important to
15:47
understand the subject of restoration. Now we can lose time,
15:51
we can lose things. The most expensive thing to lose,
15:55
as far as the earth is concerned, is time. When
15:59
you lose things things, if you have time, you can
16:03
receive things back, but when you lose time, it is
16:06
a great lost. I'm praying for you that everything you
16:09
have lost as our faces ours. So at the various
16:12
things we've lost in our lives, or whether you've lost
16:15
time or things or relationships, and praying that whilst you
16:19
hear the world, there will be restoration tonight in the
16:24
name of Jesus. Now there is a law in the spirit.
16:30
My teaching begins. Now there is a law in the
16:34
spirit that governs the overall efficiency of believers. I want
16:41
you to please listen when you find a believer excelling
16:45
in his spirit adventure. There is a law that governs
16:49
the centrality of a believer's excellence. And most people have
16:55
not learned that principle, and so they chase excellence across
17:00
different areas of their lives while volating that law. And
17:05
they find out that after investing time, energy to build,
17:09
whether it's relationships, whether it is finances, whether it's a career,
17:13
eventually everything falls back like a pack of God because
17:18
they keep violating.
17:19
Speaker 2: A Lord that many of them do not understand.
17:21
Speaker 1: And praying that God will open your eyes now to
17:23
see in the name of Jesus Christ, Psalm twenty three.
17:27
Please from verse one and two. The first thing that
17:33
God wants to restore tonight is your soul. The Lord
17:38
is my shepherd. He says, I shall not want. Let's
17:42
read verse two together.
17:47
Speaker 2: Aha. Aha.
17:53
Speaker 1: He rests tored my soul. Verse three, he rests toread
17:59
my soul. This is the first thing that he restores.
18:03
He restored my soul. Many believers do not know that
18:08
there is a law in the spirit that your life
18:11
will be an overall reflection of the quality of your
18:17
spiritual life, the quality of your solical health. The Bible
18:23
says it in Third John. John has only one chapter,
18:26
the third Third John one now and verse two It says, beloved,
18:31
I wish above all things, I will see all together
18:34
that ye prosper and be in help. John, I wish
18:41
above all things above what I wish above your prospering financially,
18:46
I wish above your getting a job. I wish above
18:50
your getting children. I wish above your excelling in business.
18:54
I wish above your getting a visa.
18:57
Speaker 2: Are we together? Now?
18:58
Speaker 1: I wish above your having you know, been a houseowner.
19:03
Those things are wonderful, Soul. The first thing here is
19:06
that the wish, this wish is not the only one
19:10
he has. He had many wishes and many desires for
19:13
the people the spirit of God speaking to his sabbath,
19:16
I wish many things for you, but there is one
19:19
that surpasses every other desire. It says that ye may prosper.
19:26
Say I will prosper one more time, say I will prosper.
19:30
It says I wish above all things that he may
19:33
prosper and be in health. But he now bench marks
19:37
everything based on a reference. It says, even as thy
19:42
soul prosperit That means, before God marks you to be
19:48
successful in the spirit, it doesn't matter what you achieve,
19:52
and it doesn't matter what you have. The realm of
19:55
the spirit will have to vet the state of your soul,
19:58
the health of your spirit. Are we together in order
20:02
to verify if your success is true and lasting. That means,
20:07
when you find an individual excelling in any area of
20:10
his life, if it is at the expense of his soul.
20:15
Speaker 2: Then it is not true success in the spirit. Are
20:18
we together? Now? Are we learning? This is very powerful?
20:23
The business of the soul.
20:25
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this is the greatest pursuit and
20:29
the greatest need of every man.
20:32
Speaker 2: Most people will not know that what they really need
20:35
is the health of their soul.
20:37
Speaker 1: If I told you now that the greatest problem you
20:39
have is a spiritual problem, a problem of your spiritual
20:43
life and the health of your soul, you will most
20:44
likely say, no, am I what I need is money,
20:47
what I need is a house. What I need is
20:49
something tangible that I can interact with. But that there
20:52
is a law in the spirit. I hope you know
20:55
that I'm talking about those who are in the kingdom.
20:58
If you are outside of the king your soul, in fact,
21:02
your soul is the collateral that you have to give
21:05
in exchange for any.
21:06
Speaker 2: Other thing you get.
21:08
Speaker 1: You're going to be learning that the commodity a time
21:11
comes in the spirit where everything you have to purchase
21:16
to your life will either be as given by God
21:21
or as trade dead with your soul. Because your soul
21:26
is currency in the spirit, you can give it up
21:29
for other lesser things. We're going to be considering a
21:33
few scriptures, and one of it is the one that says,
21:37
what shall it profit a man? He's speaking profit, he's
21:40
a business language. What shalip profit a man? If you
21:44
gain the whole world and you use your soul as
21:48
the money that brought that, you can literally go to
21:51
the market of life and destiny and exchange your soul
21:56
for money, exchange your soul for fame. You don't have
21:59
to be demonic, and you don't have to be occultic.
22:02
Many people are doing it. The idea of selling your soul.
22:06
Most times when we hear it, we think it is
22:08
something that you have to be occultic to say, Okay,
22:11
take my life and give me money. No, many people
22:14
are already doing it. One of the ways you know
22:17
true success is to find out what happens to your
22:20
spiritual state as you rise. If you find out, you
22:24
can know who is behind your success by looking at
22:27
the consequence of that rising on your spiritual life.
22:31
Speaker 2: The moment you.
22:32
Speaker 1: Find out that for every increase, every open door, every advancement,
22:37
your spiritual life is suffering. You are transacting with Barbylon,
22:42
this demonic satanic system.
22:44
Speaker 2: You may not know. Satan took Jesus off the mountain
22:47
and he said, bow to me.
22:50
Speaker 1: That is how you sell your soul. You don't sell
22:52
your soul by giving it. You sell your soul by
22:55
bowing to something. It's someone learning.
22:58
Speaker 2: Now whatever you bow to, a transaction happened in the spirit.
23:03
Speaker 1: Satan came and met Jesus and said, look, all of
23:05
the glories of this world.
23:07
Speaker 2: I have it, but I don't need it.
23:08
Speaker 1: What I need is your loyalty, your allegiance. You came
23:11
as God incarnate, Bow to me and I can give
23:15
you everything He was willing to relinquish part of what
23:18
Jesus was coming to die to receive.
23:20
Speaker 2: Why follow the route of the cross when you can
23:23
just trade your soul and you have it? And there
23:28
are many.
23:28
Speaker 1: People today who do not understand this system in the spirit.
23:34
What shalie profit a man, What shali profit a man
23:38
of God? What shali profit a worshiper? What schalete profit
23:42
a business man? What shale profit a student a career person.
23:46
Speaker 2: If you gain.
23:49
Speaker 1: That kind of business bar you will not even know
23:52
what you are losing because you will be focused on
23:54
what you are gaining. But He's saying, while you are gaining,
23:57
you are losing something else. But your attention is what
24:00
you are gaining, only that when you check your soul,
24:03
you will find out that it died because you grew.
24:07
It died because Increase came. It died because it don't open.
24:11
At that point, you know that sentance comed you, He
24:14
came and sold you something distracted you and you thought
24:18
you were gaining whereas you were dying.
24:22
Speaker 2: Allelujah.
24:23
Speaker 1: This is a load that I found out in my
24:25
life because you see, like reverential before I came up,
24:30
every human being wants to make progress. I think I've
24:34
said it here in this church that psychologists teach that
24:37
one of the keys for measuring happiness is progress or
24:41
a sense of it. To the degree to which you
24:43
perceive you are making progress, that is the degree to
24:46
which you will be happy.
24:47
Speaker 2: If you believe or.
24:49
Speaker 1: Perceive that there's some level of stuntedness in your life
24:52
or in ministry, if you are responsible, it should be
24:55
a source of concern.
24:56
Speaker 2: Am I right on that? Yes?
24:59
Speaker 1: There's no whom and who gives bead to a baby
25:01
and expects that baby to start running, walking, talking in
25:05
one day. But after a year, maybe one year and
25:09
a half, two years, if the baby cannot talk, the
25:12
baby cannot walk, the baby cannot do whatever.
25:15
Speaker 2: Immediately he becomes a medical condition. Are we together?
25:19
Speaker 1: Because instinctively she knows that that baby has now assumed
25:23
his stakes where he or she should begin to at
25:26
least motion the things that make for growth. So when
25:31
people become stagnated and stunted, whether as a man of God,
25:34
as a businessman, as a carrier person, generally becomes a
25:38
source of concern. Now let me tell you this. Satan
25:41
does not attach you every day. Know this, there are
25:45
days that even if you call Satan to attach you,
25:47
you will say, I'm not on duty.
25:49
Speaker 2: He's not a fool.
25:50
Speaker 1: Satan knows that there is something about the desperation of men.
25:54
The desperation of men is his marketing strategy for this exchange.
26:00
Listen carefully. For as long as you are a young person,
26:03
having someone to sponsor you, taking care of you. It
26:06
may be difficult to come to certain temptations because there
26:10
are harvests over seats you did not so, so when.
26:13
Speaker 2: Satan comes, it's easy to drive away that temptation.
26:16
Speaker 1: But the day you are now on your own and
26:19
there's house rent, hello, and the price of fuell is
26:23
whatever it is.
26:24
Speaker 2: Now in the midst of that desperation, Satan comes.
26:29
Speaker 1: The Bible calls him a thief, and only foolish thief
26:32
steals all the time. Thieves don't steal all the time.
26:36
There is timing and intelligence and preparation.
26:39
Speaker 2: Are we together?
26:41
Speaker 1: There is still where you are not around or while
26:42
you are asleep, he say, while men slept. Now, many
26:46
of you, I'm saying this because this transaction that has
26:50
destroyed you now started at the point of your pain
26:53
and your desperation. Every time believers are in want, every
26:58
time believers are infor more, be careful. It's not only
27:02
God's attention you are calling. You are also calling the
27:05
attention of the realm of the spirit, because they know
27:07
that desperation makes men vulnerable. You are desperate for marriage,
27:13
you are desperate for a child, You are desperate for
27:16
a job. You are desperate for at nineteen, you are
27:19
desperate for increase.
27:22
Speaker 2: If someone comes.
27:23
Speaker 1: To meet a young boy and says, come, I want
27:26
to take you somewhere and conjure some demonic things and
27:29
give you power, that temptation will not work because the.
27:32
Speaker 2: Boy is not desperate.
27:34
Speaker 1: It is dangerous to try to give people things when
27:36
they are not hungry enough.
27:38
Speaker 2: So there is a hunger level that Satan waits for.
27:41
Speaker 1: Until he perceives that hunger, he will not come to
27:44
attack you away together. Now, Yeah, the day he sees
27:48
that the financial issue is becoming a family problem, that's
27:52
when he comes with his options. Because chances are excellent
27:55
that you will now listen to it. What shall it
27:58
profit a man if he gains the whole world? Have
28:02
you seen someone trying to look for water when he's testy?
28:06
I mean, if you bring me a drum of water. Now,
28:09
I'm not that testy at best, I will just take
28:12
one bottle and that's fine a way together. But when
28:16
I am really testy, like onto death, if you bring water,
28:20
sometimes you can tell me this bottle is on hundred thousand.
28:23
Because of my desperation, I become vulnerable to you. I
28:26
don't want to die, and even do I know you
28:28
are cheating me. It's not hudred thousands, but I prefer
28:32
my pain solved. This is how Satan trapped many people.
28:35
He knows that there's something that befalls all men, is
28:38
called exhaustion. Please listen, listen. I want to show you
28:44
a transaction that has been happening to your spirit man
28:47
that you are not even aware of because some of us.
28:50
You have to kill that business with the spirit. Now,
28:53
destroy that business with Satan now, else you will find
28:57
out that everything you are trying to you now will
29:00
eventually fall because you are violated alone.
29:05
Speaker 2: I wish are both.
29:06
Speaker 1: All things that you prosper and to be in health
29:11
even as that's soul prospered. There are men of God,
29:14
for instance, who want power justifiably so want increase one
29:19
open doors. Many of you have come to receive importations
29:22
and you will receive. Many of you have come to
29:25
receive healings. You have come to receive. You know breakthroughs
29:29
and all kinds of things. And I tell you in
29:31
the name of Jesus Christ, every desire you came here with,
29:34
God will honor you and even sur passed your expectation.
29:38
Speaker 2: Away together. But there is a spiritual Lord that we
29:42
must trust.
29:43
Speaker 1: God for grace to open our eyes to see that
29:46
the health of your spirit, the health of your soul,
29:51
is the power point that controls everything around your life
29:55
and destiny. And it does not matter how healthy you
29:58
think you are financially healthy. If it is at the
30:01
expense of your spiritual life you are holding shadows, Eventually
30:05
you will lose it. You have influence, you have positions,
30:08
you have titles, you have whatever kind of accomplishment. Listen,
30:12
in my little walk, I have seen people who you
30:15
would maybe proport that you wanted your life to be
30:19
like them. Their life looked complete, it looked excellent, It
30:24
looked filled.
30:25
Speaker 2: With all kinds of things. But there was one thing
30:28
that was missing.
30:29
Speaker 1: While they were in pursuit of this thing, Satan came
30:32
crashed in on their desperation, and he received their soul,
30:37
their allegiance, their worship, their time, and asks them to
30:41
do every other thing. I can't tell you if you
30:44
can surrender your soul to say that you will not
30:46
attack any part of your life again. He doesn't need
30:48
any other thing from you again. The reason why he
30:51
touches your finances is not because of finance. He's touching
30:54
something else through your finance.
30:56
Speaker 2: The reason why he touches your health is not because
30:58
of your health set and does not need money.
31:01
Speaker 1: He does not need increase. He does not need a child.
31:04
Why should he lock the womb of a woman. What
31:06
does it do to him? Does he need the children? No?
31:10
Speaker 2: What Satan wants is to allow time or pain push
31:14
you to that point of desperation.
31:16
Speaker 1: When you become desperate, he comes as a negotiator. Give
31:21
me your soul, and I can give you any other thing,
31:24
and you may not. He won't come and say give
31:26
me directly. Let me tell you how he comes by
31:30
your exhaustion in prayer.
31:31
Speaker 2: I'm tired of this prayer. I can't go and pray again.
31:35
Something is happening.
31:36
Speaker 1: If again is happening in the spirit without you knowing
31:39
away together you wake up in the morning and to
31:41
open the scripture. Honestly, look, I'm overwhelmed by my problem.
31:45
Something is happening. It is gradual. Then a call comes
31:52
from someone and he says, Noko, it's just that I
31:55
don't want to tell you, but there's somebody. Aha, yes,
32:00
say good. You'd have said, God forbid, don't talk to
32:01
me about anything. But two years later, in the face
32:05
of desperation, he said, our boy's true. I'm forty nine
32:09
years old. Now I don't have my own child. He said,
32:11
there's somebody. It's not like he's bad exactly. He doesn't
32:15
really do anything bad, but it's just a me to
32:18
I don't understand him.
32:19
Speaker 2: But it's not right.
32:20
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I've seen anything that is directly evil.
32:22
And the Spirit of God is telling you what you see.
32:25
Your desperation has caused Satan to so close the door
32:29
of your sensitivity you cannot even know that this is
32:33
you are entering into a faller snare, and then you
32:36
do not know.
32:37
Speaker 2: At that point, compromise.
32:40
Speaker 1: Starts gradually until you find yourself in the heart of
32:44
the things that have violated your convictions.
32:48
Speaker 2: You have sold your soul. Your prayer life dies, your
32:53
world life dies.
32:54
Speaker 1: And then in exchange you will see that a semblance
32:58
of increase comes.
33:00
Speaker 2: Say, Tani's not stupid.
33:01
Speaker 1: If he makes everything fail in your life, it will
33:04
lead to conviction, repentance, brokenness, and a retreat. So you
33:08
will not crumble every aspect of your life like that.
33:11
He will allow you to be enjoying breakthrough. All of
33:13
a sudden, a job came. You even danced around it,
33:16
not knowing that that job was an arrow.
33:20
Speaker 2: Did you what I said?
33:21
Speaker 1: When the Bible talks about arrows that fly, he's not
33:24
talking about a sharp object. Though there are many things
33:28
we call breakthroughs that are arrows. It was targeted at
33:31
your spiritual life.
33:32
Speaker 2: The job came.
33:33
Speaker 1: But from the day the job came, you can't remember
33:36
praying again. From the day the job came. The moment
33:39
the Holy Spirit wants your time, they say, look, we
33:42
demand this, and are you ready for increase or not?
33:45
And you remember, more money God, I will attend to
33:47
you later on. There are many people who have vow
33:53
related this law of preserving the health of their soul,
33:58
and this includes preachers. There are times that when the
34:02
devil wants to destroy a man of God, he does
34:05
not bring luck. He brings abundance and ministerial open doors
34:09
not orchestrated by God, doors will open in a very
34:13
strange way. Those who open that don't depend on your
34:17
prayer life. Those who opened that don't depend on your fasting.
34:21
Those who opened that don't depend on your engaging the world.
34:24
Whether you obey God's world or not, those doors are opening.
34:27
It's an attack when you find out that certain results
34:31
are coming without your engaging the world of God consistently.
34:35
It is an attack by Satan because he knows that
34:39
it will keep you complacated, and that's how he destroys you.
34:43
Speaker 2: Are we together, whether I pray or not? Seems like
34:47
the favor is coming whether I pray or not.
34:50
Speaker 1: Why do I need to pray? It looks like I
34:52
can share the world every time. And at that point
34:54
you will not see the value of prayer again. You
34:57
will not see the value of fasting again. Who is
34:59
learning tonight? You would not see the value of working
35:01
with God, because, after all, you are surrounded by such abundance.
35:06
Just when the Holy Spirit begins to preach your heart,
35:09
he say, can't we get back to the secret place?
35:11
And a lot of ten million just enters your account,
35:13
and he said, what I'm doing well, I'm doing well.
35:18
I always found out why a rich man would be
35:20
called a fool, because foolishness and wealth don't go together.
35:25
Speaker 2: But there was such a man in the Bible called
35:27
a rich fool. Do you know what was foolish? Now?
35:31
Speaker 1: I know he did business with somebody to get that wealth,
35:36
and that business ate up his soul. He said, my soul,
35:39
fire rest, not knowing that he had everything in that
35:42
room mine, not his soul. Jesus called him a fool
35:48
because when he checked his entire life, he found money,
35:52
but his soul had gone. His allegiance and his worship.
35:56
He transferred it from worship to God almighty worship things.
36:01
This is a very simple principle. You have to learn
36:04
to that, ladies and gentlemen. At the back of many
36:07
people's tragedy. You know this thing they call rise and fall,
36:11
it's not totally demonic. It is the natural consequence of
36:17
violating this law and pursuing a lot of things. So
36:21
you hold on to what looks like result. But because
36:24
your soul is dead, it is not powered by your
36:26
passion for God. It is not powered by your zeal
36:29
for God. You'll become a celebrity and one day you
36:32
will find out that you are like a fan with
36:35
no power. It's just rotating itself to a stop and
36:39
need to stop just when the audience is ready to
36:41
clap for you, and you'll find out that your life
36:44
has gone back to square one.
36:48
Speaker 2: Allelujah.
36:49
Speaker 1: I wish above all things, these are lessons that God
36:52
taught me in my life.
36:55
Speaker 2: When you want to grow by God, let me tell
36:58
you how he starts.
37:00
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whether God is calling to be a
37:02
kingdom financier, a prophetess, an apostle, a businessman. Once you
37:07
come to the school of the Spirit, everybody starts with
37:10
the same cause.
37:12
Speaker 2: It is as you grow that you are now diverge
37:14
to your various departments in the spirit.
37:17
Speaker 1: The person who is going to become a prayer warrior,
37:20
the person who is going to become a kingdom biloonnaire
37:23
are we're learning the person who will be a healing evangelist,
37:26
the person who is going to be a professor doing
37:28
great things for God. The person who is going to
37:31
be a captain of industry. Once you come to the
37:33
school of the Spirit, all of you start from the
37:36
same training. It is as you grow the Holy Spirit
37:40
begins to diverte you to various trainings. As far as
37:45
his call an election and not donation for you is concern.
37:49
But let me tell you how Satan deceives people. The
37:52
moment you want to do business with Satan, he focuses
37:56
on your desperation and you're lost, not your passion.
38:00
Speaker 2: He wants to distract your passion for God.
38:03
Speaker 1: So the first thing he does is to examine your
38:06
faultnorabilities whips a fashion. What does this person like at
38:11
this point, this lady is desperate for marriage. At this point,
38:15
this lady is desperate for a child. At this point,
38:17
this lady is desperate for increase. At this point, this
38:20
young man is desperate for the prophetic since he had
38:23
a dream that he was a prophet. All he wants
38:26
is that Manto Satan's attack would be fashioned around your desires.
38:31
Satan will never waste his time creating a desire around
38:35
something that does not connect to you, or an attack
38:38
that does not connect to your lost Are we learning now?
38:41
If I am not hungry, if you want to tempt
38:44
me with food, you are wasting my time. I'm wasting
38:47
your own time too, Are we together? Imagine that you
38:51
bring baby food what children eat, maybe milk and something,
38:54
and they said, possible.
38:55
Speaker 2: I want to tempt you with this. I will look
38:57
at you in pity.
38:58
Speaker 1: I know something is wrong with you because that temptation
39:01
cannot work, because temptation requires something.
39:05
Speaker 2: From you to connect with it. Are we learning now?
39:09
Many of us right now?
39:10
Speaker 1: You came for this conference, and the truth is that
39:13
although you have the call of God upon your life,
39:15
you are beginning to transact with this system, this godless system,
39:22
and transact with the devil, even without knowing.
39:24
Speaker 2: How do I know that?
39:26
Speaker 1: Because you are having a semblance of increase. But when
39:30
we look at your life from a spirit standpoint, your
39:33
spirit man is dying from the day doors began to open.
39:37
As a man of God. You cannot remember having a
39:40
personal retreat for God again. But your name is spreading far.
39:43
I tell you it's not breakthrough.
39:45
Speaker 2: It is an attack.
39:46
Speaker 1: That thing you call open door is an arrow it
39:48
is designed to destroy your life because a time.
39:52
Speaker 2: Do you know even the any church face this temptation.
39:54
Speaker 1: The Bible says, when Increase was coming, quarrel it was
39:58
set and that planter, that's it. Among the people, certain
40:03
women began to quarrel Act Chapter six. Look, they're victimizing us.
40:08
The devil wanted to penetrate their Postolic community.
40:11
Speaker 2: He said, how do I come now? These guys are
40:14
sillous serving the Lord? How do we deal with this?
40:17
Speaker 1: And he said, you know what, Let's use welfare. Let's
40:20
begin to plant bitterness. Let's begin to plant hunger. Let's
40:24
begin to plant jealousy with someone learning now. And he
40:27
planted that seed, and the quarrel.
40:30
Speaker 2: Began to grow.
40:31
Speaker 1: And when the Apostles came, the goal was not to
40:34
feed the people evenly. The goal was to take their
40:37
Postolic community away from the things that keep their spirit robust.
40:42
The goal of that attack was not to bring order necessarily.
40:46
Satan is not interested in who eats or who does
40:48
not eat. But the apostles detected it as a ah,
40:51
we now see that something, the consequences of Increase now
40:56
wants to tell on our spiritual life. Is said a
40:59
point order in this business. But as for us, we
41:02
have found what keeps us relevant. We have found what
41:06
keeps us in fire. It says we will give ourselves
41:10
continually Acts six and US four to prayer and to
41:13
the ministry of the world. Set and lost that temptation.
41:18
Let me tell you what would have happened to many
41:20
of us. You get to a point where he said, no, no, no,
41:22
no no, I've labored too much. I can't build this
41:25
ministry and watch it crumble. You know what, let me
41:27
take a retreat from my time of prayer.
41:29
Speaker 2: And the rest. Let's deal with administrative issues.
41:32
Speaker 1: When Satan finds you in that state, he starts multiplying
41:35
the problem in your church, and before you know it,
41:38
you are becoming a businessman and administrator every other thing,
41:42
at the expense of your prayer, at the expense of
41:45
the world, at the expense of your growth. Because you
41:49
are still in church does not mean you are with God.
41:52
You will not know that you have left the place
41:54
of your consecration, the place of power, and the place
41:57
of grace.
41:58
Speaker 2: Most people do not know what they lose things.
42:01
Speaker 1: Eventually, I am telling you that the attacks that come
42:04
to you, usually they happen as an end point. After
42:09
Satan has distracted you away, it doesn't matter what you
42:12
are celebrating his shadows.
42:14
Speaker 2: It will take time and drop.
42:16
Speaker 1: That's why you find out a man can be ministry
42:19
for a very long time, supposedly doing well, but at
42:23
the expense of his spiritual life.
42:24
Speaker 2: Satan does not mind your fifteen year success.
42:27
Speaker 1: It does not intimidate him because in one year, after
42:30
he has laid hold on that which keeps you relevant,
42:33
you can crumble in one year. That what you're built
42:37
in fifteen years can crumble in one year. Allelujah? What
42:50
shall it profit a man if he should gain the
42:54
whole world? When I started my work with God, I
42:58
had needs. I had financial needs, I had a lot
43:01
of other needs.
43:02
Speaker 2: But the way God trained us was.
43:04
Speaker 1: He took our eyes away from everything, including ministry. Including ministry,
43:11
the focus was on him. The focus was not on power.
43:16
The focus was not on annoyinging. The focus was not
43:19
on healing. The focus was not on greatness.
43:22
Speaker 2: The focus was not on fame. Look at me.
43:25
Speaker 1: The focus was not on becoming a great man. The
43:28
focus was not on breakthrough and revelation. When God calls you,
43:33
let me tell you what he does He takes your
43:36
mind away from every other thing until your caze, your
43:40
eyes is fixed on him.
43:42
Speaker 2: That's when your progress begins in the spirit.
43:45
Speaker 1: When he was going to call Moses, look at me,
43:47
how did he start the journey with Moses. The first
43:50
thing he did was he simulated a bonning bush. He
43:53
never spoke to Moses about Egypt and all of these
43:56
things until he got his attention. Only God knows how
43:59
long took Moses. Moses said, I will turn aside. Something
44:04
else had my gaze, but I will turn aside and
44:07
see this great side. And when he saw it, said,
44:10
that's it. Remove your shoes where you stand his holy crown.
44:14
And he began this thing until Moses became a sign
44:17
and a wonder. I know that many of us came
44:19
to receive restoration and breakthrough. But let me tell you this.
44:24
The first restoration you need tonight is not financial restoration,
44:28
inasmuch as that is important. The first restoration you need
44:32
tonight is not held. The first restoration you need tonight
44:36
is not relationships. We are going deep down to show
44:40
you what went wrong. It's like diagnosing a vehicle that
44:43
has refused to own. It used to be a beautiful,
44:46
Verku carried many people, and for a reason you cannot understand,
44:50
it just stopped.
44:51
Speaker 2: The tires still look.
44:52
Speaker 1: Fine, the paint still looks fine, the steering still looks fine.
44:56
The stereo is still bringing music. But the guy is
44:59
not moving. I will tell you what is wrong. Even
45:04
as that soul prospers, Satan has taken advantage of your
45:08
vulnerability and your desperation and taking away passion. Do you
45:12
know the average young person in church, the moment you
45:16
bring teachings on presence, power surrender.
45:20
Speaker 2: Immediately they shut down. This is an attack. They do
45:24
not even know that it's an attack. Once you bring
45:27
a problem.
45:28
Speaker 1: Most people who prefer impartition a thousand times to the
45:32
teachings that pull them to become powerful. Is the reason
45:35
why people fall down under the influence of oil and
45:39
hands and rise up. And you cannot tell what changed.
45:44
Because for someone while he's seeing a man of God,
45:47
he's thinking, if I receive this annointing, now, all these
45:50
guys that think have nothing, they will see what will happen.
45:53
That kind of thinking is already revealing something to you
45:58
that something is wrong.
45:59
Speaker 2: God not endores that kind of thing. Are we together?
46:05
I look at my life today by the message of God.
46:07
Speaker 1: And sometimes when I'm alone, tears just run down my
46:10
eyes and I say, my God, I thank God for
46:14
this one training to focus on the health of your soul.
46:18
For some of you, you began this work with God
46:21
ten years ago. If you had followed this pattern, you
46:24
would have been mighty by now. But you became distracted
46:27
in the training because you thought the training was for
46:30
men of God. And since you are not a man
46:32
of God, you said, my own is I'm a business man.
46:35
All this thing about prayer, the word shot my own
46:38
is God. Don't you will do money? At the end
46:41
of it, you who is the kingdom of financial you
46:43
still not have the money, and the one you left
46:46
at the altar praying now has the resources and still
46:49
looking at you and say you are still here because
46:51
in this kingdom everything multiplies as the health of your soul.
46:57
Your spirit man tells, if it is God that increases you,
47:02
even if God is calling you to be a kingdom financier,
47:05
that training bard will have nothing to do with money
47:08
until you die to self and get to a point
47:12
where you can trust you with everything.
47:16
Speaker 2: Are we together?
47:18
Speaker 1: Many believers in church really do not understand the ways
47:22
of the spirit. And so most times, with all due respect,
47:25
we think that the way God lives is that you
47:28
just come with hunger, full of our lost son and desires,
47:32
and we.
47:33
Speaker 2: Just say, God, I am your son. You died for me.
47:36
Speaker 1: Here is the scripture, because I can bend a scripture
47:39
on you.
47:40
Speaker 2: To blackmail you. Oh yeah, give me the breakthrough.
47:43
Speaker 1: I need a wife, I need a husband, I need children,
47:46
and your word says the cattle on a thousand hill
47:49
belongs to you. I pleasant demand. Unfortunately, does not happen
47:53
that way. Everything in this kingdom revolves around the will
47:59
of God.
48:00
Speaker 2: God.
48:02
Speaker 1: The moment your desire, your temperature outlooking life becomes in
48:08
defiance to the will of God, it doesn't matter how
48:11
accurate your scriptural recitation is, you will never secure the
48:15
help of God.
48:18
Speaker 2: Allelujah. I have seen people pray.
48:21
Speaker 1: I have seen people first, but I have examined the
48:25
content of their prayer and fasting and word study, and
48:29
it tells.
48:29
Speaker 2: Why they don't get answers from it, because they are.
48:32
Speaker 1: Using spirituality to feed lost and God says, no, even
48:36
if it is scripture you are quoting, I have to
48:39
examine your heart.
48:41
Speaker 2: Is it going to be at the expense of the
48:43
health of your soul.
48:45
Speaker 1: Listen, you have heard me say this, my dear people,
48:48
are letting repeat it here in your presence. There is
48:51
nothing in my life today by the messes of God
48:54
that I cannot give God nothing.
48:57
Speaker 2: Nothing.
49:01
Speaker 1: When I started with God and God started lifting me,
49:03
I pray to him. I said, Lord, this is a
49:06
personal prayer from me to you. May I never know
49:10
the full extent of my impact. I don't want to
49:14
know it because it can be distracting. If I have
49:17
that knowledge, Satan can come to me and say, I
49:20
hope you know you're a very great man. Do you
49:22
know how great you are? A hah, I hope you
49:26
know that the temptation of great men is to fall down.
49:28
When Jesus met said and met Jesus, he said, he
49:31
took him to a holy mountain and said, fall down,
49:34
angels who hold you. I have seen the help of
49:42
God in my life. I have seen the mercy of
49:45
God in my life. Let me tell you how I
49:47
found it. I didn't find it by looking for it.
49:50
I found it by looking away from all those things.
49:54
Speaker 2: And staying with Him. Staying with him, staying.
50:01
Speaker 1: With him, making your spirit man so large and robust,
50:06
and before you know it, you become a magneting the spirit.
50:10
You will begin to draw the things that listen, listen, listen.
50:15
Let's assume that this man of God is a business man.
50:20
Do you know most times, if say, for instance, just
50:22
in this example, I tell him, sir, can I design
50:25
a spiritual growth template for you, the man who says, no,
50:28
I'm not a man of God, I'm a business man,
50:32
bring things that deal with common sense.
50:35
Speaker 2: Give me five years with this man.
50:37
Speaker 1: Eventually I'm not a business man, but I can follow
50:41
a template that even him as a business man, you
50:43
will see me behind. And he's saying, you are not
50:45
a businessman, But what are you doing in the circle
50:47
of wealthy people the health of your spirit? Man, I'm
50:50
showing you a key tonight that if you find some
50:53
of you need to go back home and shelf a
50:56
lot of useless activities, they are not adding to your
51:00
They will not add to your growth.
51:02
Speaker 2: I assure you.
51:02
Speaker 1: They will waste your time, waste your energy, waste everything
51:07
about your life. And at the end of it, you
51:09
find out that it looks like you've been making progress,
51:12
but the progress is onto futility.
51:14
Speaker 2: But there is one thing you can find merely found this.
51:19
It's a matter.
51:20
Speaker 1: You are worried and you are obsessed about many things,
51:23
but one thing is needful.
51:25
Speaker 2: Someone say one thing, shouted, say one thing.
51:29
Speaker 1: Ah, there is one thing that if you find in life,
51:32
you would have found the key to wealth.
51:35
Speaker 2: You would have found the key to increase. There are
51:39
things that.
51:39
Speaker 1: When you find in life, my brothers and my sisters,
51:42
the people you now admire today will look for you
51:45
and call it a or to stand before you. If
51:51
I ask us to write our private quest, Now what
51:54
area are you trusting God for restoration?
51:56
Speaker 2: Someone will say a possible.
51:57
Speaker 1: As I stand right now, I have lost one billion,
52:00
I've lost five hundred million. And you answer, person, what
52:03
am I going to do about this? And now I'm
52:04
looking for a load or I'm looking for someone to
52:06
help my business. But if I tell you, give me
52:09
a chance to recommend a part for you out of
52:12
that problem. He says, you're not a business man. Do
52:15
your appreaching chaisons that give you money? And I ask
52:22
the person, so how are you going to come out
52:23
of this challenge? I have called senate or successance? And
52:27
then he promised to connect me to one foundation abroad.
52:31
I'm already calculating everything. I hope that give or take
52:34
at least two hundred million will come in. And then
52:37
when that two million comes out, do business and at
52:40
least in two years. Oh, dear, listen, let me tell
52:42
you the man talking to is not stupid. Someone else
52:45
can go before God and say, further, if you do
52:48
not open my eyes, I cannot see. If you do
52:52
not help me, there is no human way I can
52:55
come out of this. And the Lord says, you know what,
52:59
leave the issue business, leave the issue of profit.
53:02
Speaker 2: Focus on me. Say Tan desires to sift you.
53:06
Speaker 1: And you can trawd business and everything and stay and
53:09
say I have lost everything in my life.
53:12
Speaker 2: I will not lose my soul. Lord, let's start again.
53:14
My brother, you can be in that place and.
53:17
Speaker 1: One idea in his presence, one connection, in his presence,
53:22
the spirit of God. Is it not in your Bible
53:24
that the steps of a good man are ordered by
53:25
the Lord. You can get up from your frailty and
53:29
step into a conference like this, and God will okay
53:32
straight that you sit down near helper And the person says,
53:35
young man, what do you do? And says, I'm just
53:39
a graduate he says. The spirit of God said, I
53:42
should hold your hand till you are established. Now, when
53:45
you come back and meet the person who left God
53:48
to look for success, the person who say, no, you
53:50
are just lucky. I'm surely you just you succeed that
53:54
just because you are a ministry, say lie, it is
53:57
the profit of his presence. I used to think this
54:04
template only works for men of God, the template of
54:08
making sure that you are surrendered and staying in His presence.
54:12
And quite honestly, I used to be concerned because I said,
54:16
if you stay in his presence, praying.
54:18
Speaker 2: Building capacity, won't you lose? In time?
54:22
Speaker 1: There are many important things to do. I found out
54:25
that no body loses with God. When your spirit man
54:29
becomes robots and enlarge, you will lay up gold, as
54:32
does I tell you. If you came for this conference
54:35
trusting God to receive restoration and to be free, I
54:39
am telling you the way out.
54:41
Speaker 2: Take a minute.
54:44
Speaker 1: Away from business, take a minute away from marriage, take
54:49
a minute away from children, away from breakthrough.
54:53
Speaker 2: Can you take a minute and stay tonight and say,
54:56
God is between me and you.
54:58
Speaker 1: This is not the issue of healing. Again, I know
55:00
that they die knows me of cancer, but cancer, you
55:02
will be a letter discussion for when you find him,
55:12
when you taught him. When you encounter the God of
55:16
the Bible, not the one you hear people saying, they meant,
55:19
when you encounter the God of Israel, when he places
55:23
something upon your life, you will go out and in
55:28
a moment, I'm telling you it will not take that long.
55:33
Speaker 2: God will raise men, God who raised systems, He will
55:36
give you with.
55:36
Speaker 1: Some word starting tonight, because tonight this is a cry
55:40
for a restoration of our soul. And when you pray
55:43
that prayer, some of you whilst get the place of prayer,
55:47
there are other prayers who do not need to pray.
55:49
Speaker 2: Again.
55:49
Speaker 1: You will go back home, and on reaching home, someone
55:52
will call you and say, you know what, I've been
55:54
trying to reach you. The job is now waiting for you.
55:57
And that's when you will find out that it's not
55:59
that God could not give you the job. He has
56:01
seen that certain wants who use that job as a
56:04
transaction to steal away your passion, to steal away your hunger,
56:09
to steal away your fire. And let me tell you this.
56:12
If you hear me saying this thing, and you feel
56:15
in your heart I'm wasting your time. Is an attack
56:17
on your destiny.
56:20
Speaker 2: It's an attack.
56:26
Speaker 1: There are things only God can do in the life
56:28
of a man. I have studied success from a business standpoint.
56:32
I have studied success from an entrepreneur standpoint by the
56:36
message of God. I have studied success from a leadership standpoint.
56:40
I have studied success from a spiritual standpoint. I have
56:44
come to a conclusion that it doesn't matter what route
56:47
you take. If your soul, the health of your spirit man,
56:51
if that is not shorted, you will prosper. You will
56:55
make money, doors will open, but there is calamity eventually.
57:00
Speaker 2: Waiting for you.
57:01
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter even if it's after twenty years. You
57:05
can boom ministry without his presence and excel and one day,
57:09
overnight something happens to you.
57:14
Speaker 2: Satan is not foolish. He does not attack in one day.
57:18
Speaker 1: He gives you room so that you can continue without
57:22
God's presence, so that you can continue.
57:24
Speaker 2: Without your fire. Listen to me, I came here.
57:27
Speaker 1: By the spirit tonight to challenge you using my life
57:34
and to honor your sacrifice of coming to this place
57:37
for some of you. What God is calling you to
57:39
do now? He says son, I've always cried for your attention.
57:45
You've gotten so busy, busy trying to make life work,
57:49
busy trying to build a house, not knowing that accept
57:53
the Lord, beauty house. Then labor in vain that build it.
57:58
Accept The Lord watches over city, the watchmen what had
58:01
got in vain. There are people, by the messages of
58:04
God that have met in my life today, and it's almost.
58:07
Speaker 2: Like a dream.
58:08
Speaker 1: I would never have imagined that I disappointed my life
58:11
by what connection would I have got into that level?
58:14
Speaker 2: But God for you, when He finds your heart. Who
58:17
is God speaking to? When God can find your heart,
58:21
there are many things that happen.
58:23
Speaker 1: In the secret place that becomes your security. Number one
58:27
is a circumcision that happens within your heart, because you see,
58:31
the tendencies of man is such that until God vets you,
58:35
if you can deceive yourself. The Bible says, the heart
58:39
of man is desperately wicked. Oh God bless me, and
58:42
I will bring the money to Chor is a lie.
58:44
You are sincere, but you are still lying. You don't
58:47
even know the state of your heart. The Bible says
58:49
that the heart of man is deceptive, above all things.
58:56
You know what it means to have plenty, and it
58:58
does not affect your per for God. You know what
59:01
it means to be lifted and still be humble and
59:04
remain on your knees. It is not human, it is
59:07
not natural. It is a circumcision that happens when you
59:10
stay with Him. When God demands that you stay, he
59:14
is not delaying your growth. When God demands that you stay,
59:17
he's not wasting your time. My dear sister, hear me.
59:20
I'm speaking to you by the spirit. Don't let nay
59:23
say us make you feel that the time invested in
59:26
God's house the time invested in building your health capacit
59:32
in the spirit. When you plant, sometimes the plants does
59:38
not just sprout and start bearing fruit. There are trees
59:43
like the bowber tree and other trees that would take
59:45
a long time.
59:46
Speaker 2: It will look like progress is not happening.
59:49
Speaker 1: One way you know you are working with God is
59:51
that there will always be silent yes in your life.
59:54
Speaker 2: Yes. The only God can tell what is happening to you.
59:57
Speaker 1: You yourself, cannot tell whether you are mas progress or not,
1:00:01
because all the parameters to measure success will.
1:00:04
Speaker 2: Be missing, and God will keep it intentionally. He will
1:00:07
teach you.
1:00:08
Speaker 1: To be used to him without things, and be comfortable
1:00:11
before he brings things. Did you hear what I said?
1:00:14
He will teach you to be used to his presence.
1:00:17
That if I have his presence without money, I am
1:00:20
still successful. If I have his presence without a name,
1:00:24
I am still successful. When his presence becomes your all,
1:00:28
everything added to it does not distruct you. Again, the
1:00:37
Sami said, among the many things I desire to restore.
1:00:41
Speaker 2: Restore my soul.
1:00:43
Speaker 1: Restore my soul for someone, restore my soul means restore
1:00:47
my prayer life. And possibly I did not start this way.
1:00:50
I used to be on fire, that fire upon my altar.
1:00:54
For some of you it was so whilst you were
1:00:56
on canvas, before you became a business man. While if
1:01:00
faithful member of a fellowship, it was prayer every time.
1:01:03
And by that momentum you were gaining accentdance.
1:01:06
Speaker 2: In the spirit. You began in the spirit. Who distracted you?
1:01:10
What distracted you?
1:01:11
Speaker 1: Now for some family life became the temptation and debate
1:01:16
Satan used to distract you. Or do's ministry, or there's money,
1:01:21
or that's the desire to make it. God is the
1:01:24
one who designed this system. He is not evil to
1:01:27
leave your needs unattended to. But there is a protocol. Tonight,
1:01:31
I came to show you a lord that you are
1:01:33
being violating that is responsible.
1:01:36
Speaker 2: For most of the losses in our lives.
1:01:38
Speaker 1: When Satan comes to you and he looks at the
1:01:42
direction of your attention, that's what you attack. When he
1:01:46
looks at the direction of your attention and he finds
1:01:48
it at fame or money, he will attack that area.
1:01:52
But when he finds your eyes fixed on Jesus, that
1:01:56
while your account is multiplying, your eyes is still on Jesus,
1:01:59
because who have been trained in the secret place, that
1:02:02
every time you look away from Him, the waters will
1:02:06
sink you.
1:02:06
Speaker 2: Peter, that was the lesson. Working on water was not
1:02:10
just about a miracle. He was teaching you how.
1:02:13
Speaker 1: To be undistracted by the things around you, to focus
1:02:16
on Jesus. When Peter looked away from Jesus and began
1:02:20
to look at other things, like ministry, like growth, like
1:02:24
whatever it is, he sank.
1:02:28
Speaker 2: Let me tell you this.
1:02:30
Speaker 1: When I was to start ministry, the difficulty was how
1:02:34
to be able to raise finances for ministry. Because I
1:02:37
made up my mind that I was going to serve God,
1:02:39
void of compromise, that I would never manipulate anybody for.
1:02:43
Speaker 2: Myself or to fund the work.
1:02:46
Speaker 1: And based on the visions that God was showing me,
1:02:49
I knew that this work would require and and normalus resources.
1:02:54
How was God going to help me through this by
1:02:57
his messy? I remember times when I will come to
1:03:01
God and say, Lord, what is.
1:03:02
Speaker 2: The key to this?
1:03:04
Speaker 1: And He would teach me stay in my presence. There
1:03:08
is a COREC column for your growth. There is a
1:03:10
COREC column for your Thank God, by his mercy, that
1:03:14
I stayed the foolishness of waiting upon the Lord. It
1:03:17
will look like you are not making progress. Let me
1:03:20
say this to you, and I submit without humility. I'm
1:03:23
about to pray for you.
1:03:24
Speaker 2: Now.
1:03:25
Speaker 1: There are many people, or there were many people those days.
1:03:29
They were in a hurry to make it. Now, I
1:03:32
don't say this, you know, being sarcastic. I mean if
1:03:36
you saw them, you would think if they did not
1:03:38
do ministry in one year, they would die.
1:03:40
Speaker 2: It was like, I want to do Mini, I want
1:03:42
to I want to shine, I want
