- 6:36Speaker 1: now arise, O God, and come to your resting place.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Rest on me. Rest on me. This is part of
- 6:48Speaker 1: the meeting. Take a minute or two. You are exercising
- 6:51Speaker 1: yourself unto godliness.
- 7:04Speaker 3: Rest on me. Rest on me. Rest on me. Rest
- 7:13Speaker 3: on me. Rest on me.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Rest on our lives, oh God. In Jesus' mighty name
- 7:33Speaker 1: we pray. Hallelujah. Speak to us, O God. Grant us illumination.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Grant us understanding. Amen and amen. Please be seated. The
- 7:56Speaker 1: Lord is still training us. He's making us become like
- 8:02Speaker 1: quivers in the hand of a mighty warrior. The Bible
- 8:08Speaker 1: says certain people came To David in the cave of Adulam,
- 8:13Speaker 1: there were men who were distressed. They were in debt.
- 8:17Speaker 1: They were weak men. But David turned them into a
- 8:21Speaker 1: company that was simply called the mighty men of David.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Men can be mighty based on the training that they
- 8:30Speaker 1: go through. Hallelujah. When I was coming in, I saw
- 8:35Speaker 1: a group of hefty trained security persons. whether from the
- 8:40Speaker 1: ministry or outsourced, but they all looked big, macho, serious, determined, visionary.
- 8:46Speaker 1: That's what happens when people are trained. When believers are
- 8:50Speaker 1: not trained, they become weak, they become ineffective, and the
- 8:55Speaker 1: purposes of God becomes under attack, under their watch. So
- 9:00Speaker 1: what is happening to us in this conference, ladies and gentlemen,
- 9:03Speaker 1: we must appreciate that God is training us. And the
- 9:07Speaker 1: way we are trained in the kingdoms, is by light
- 9:13Speaker 1: capacity to see capacity to understand when your consciousness your
- 9:19Speaker 1: comprehension is heightened in the spirit then you truly become
- 9:23Speaker 1: a person of power hallelujah so i'll take another dimension
- 9:28Speaker 1: from where i don't want to interrupt my teaching of
- 9:31Speaker 1: yesterday i'll finish it up in the night but still
- 9:34Speaker 1: connecting with this the lord placed it very strongly in
- 9:37Speaker 1: my heart To bring us, it's a training session that
- 9:41Speaker 1: is going to be happening right now. Most believers are
- 9:46Speaker 1: powerless because they are not trained. I said it yesterday.
- 9:50Speaker 1: In ignorance, there is no power. In ignorance, there is
- 9:55Speaker 1: no dominion. Let's start off with 1 Timothy 2 from
- 9:59Speaker 1: verse 1. to 4. This was Paul the apostle mentoring
- 10:03Speaker 1: his son Timothy who evolved to become a mighty man.
- 10:10Speaker 1: Now Timothy was not one of the first sets of apostles.
- 10:16Speaker 1: In fact, he was not even there on the day
- 10:18Speaker 1: of Pentecost. Timothy was not even there when the early
- 10:23Speaker 1: church started. It was after Paul encountered the Lord Jesus
- 10:28Speaker 1: Christ and among the many fruits of his apostolic ministry,
- 10:34Speaker 1: one came who was called Timothy, a trusted son indeed.
- 10:38Speaker 1: And then here's what he tells him. I exhort therefore
- 10:43Speaker 1: for verse 1. Okay, we're right. I exhort therefore, just
- 10:48Speaker 1: leave us to, first of all, that supplications, prayers, watch
- 10:52Speaker 1: this now. Are you seeing what he's telling him? Supplications, prayers, intercessions,
- 10:59Speaker 1: and giving of thanks. That means they are not the
- 11:01Speaker 1: same thing. Be made for all men, for kings, and
- 11:08Speaker 1: for all that are in authority, that we may lead
- 11:12Speaker 1: a quiet and a peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
- 11:17Speaker 1: He's revealing the factors in the spirit that translates to
- 11:21Speaker 1: peace within a territory. That if you want peace, quietness,
- 11:26Speaker 1: go back to verse 2. Let me just digress and
- 11:28Speaker 1: explain that. If you want peace, quietness, godliness, and honesty,
- 11:34Speaker 1: you must do verse 1. Any territory that does not
- 11:37Speaker 1: have people, back to verse 1, my dear media people.
- 11:43Speaker 1: If there are no people who can Make supplications, prayers, intercession,
- 11:50Speaker 1: and giving of thanks for all men. That territory will
- 11:53Speaker 1: always be under attack. Now let's go to verse 3.
- 11:57Speaker 1: This is my emphasis. For it is good and acceptable
- 12:01Speaker 1: in the sight of God our Savior. Please read verse
- 12:04Speaker 1: 4 together if you can see it.
- 12:06Speaker 3: Ready?
- 12:06Speaker 1: One to read. Who will have all men to be
- 12:10Speaker 1: saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
- 12:14Speaker 1: One more time. who will have all men to be
- 12:17Speaker 1: saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Paul reveals two burning desires in the heart of God.
- 12:27Speaker 1: He says the first and the greatest of God's desire
- 12:30Speaker 1: for men is that they be saved. And then that
- 12:35Speaker 1: when they are saved, his next desire is that they
- 12:39Speaker 1: come unto the knowledge of the truth. They come unto
- 12:44Speaker 1: the the knowledge of the truth. God is so determined
- 12:49Speaker 1: to see that believers come unto the knowledge of the
- 12:53Speaker 1: truth to the point that he invented a strategy within
- 12:57Speaker 1: the body to ensure and insist that believers come into
- 13:02Speaker 1: that comprehension. It was a strategy that God invented as
- 13:07Speaker 1: his commitment to seeing that all those who are saved
- 13:11Speaker 1: today Also become people of knowledge. The Bible says. In
- 13:16Speaker 1: Ephesians chapter 4. From verse 11. This is his strategy.
- 13:23Speaker 1: He gave some.
- 13:25Speaker 3: Apostles.
- 13:27Speaker 1: In fact back down to verse 10. That he that descended.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Is the same that ascended. That he might fill all things.
- 13:35Speaker 1: So that you get the context. Yes. And he gave
- 13:40Speaker 1: gifts to men. Giving some apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. Why?
- 13:48Speaker 1: For the maturing. The word perfecting is the word maturing.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Of the saints. That the saints in their maturity will
- 13:56Speaker 1: do the work of the ministry. And for the edifying
- 13:59Speaker 1: of the body of Christ. Verse 13. He says until
- 14:02Speaker 1: we come to a state in the spirit called the
- 14:04Speaker 1: unity of faith. And of the knowledge of the son
- 14:08Speaker 1: of God. unto a perfect man, and unto the measure
- 14:13Speaker 1: of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Men can
- 14:19Speaker 1: evolve to come into the fullness of Christ. And yesterday
- 14:24Speaker 1: I began to challenge us, if you recall, that the
- 14:27Speaker 1: destiny of every believer in Christ is to evolve until
- 14:31Speaker 1: you become a living manifestation of the glory of God.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Remember the teaching? Never forget it for the rest of
- 14:38Speaker 1: your life. That my destiny in Christ. Is not just
- 14:43Speaker 1: to be a doctor. Not just to be an engineer.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Not just to be a pastor. An apostle. A prophet.
- 14:49Speaker 1: All of those are just geographies of your witness. But
- 14:52Speaker 1: your destiny. Your prophetic destiny in Christ. Is that you
- 14:57Speaker 1: become a manifestation of the glory of God. Your life
- 15:01Speaker 1: becomes a display. Of the multifaceted dimension of God. Ephesians
- 15:08Speaker 1: 2 and verse 10. He says to the intent, we
- 15:11Speaker 1: are his workmanship, it says, created in Christ Jesus unto
- 15:15Speaker 1: good works, it says, which God had before ordained that
- 15:20Speaker 1: we should work in them. So there is an ordination
- 15:24Speaker 1: for every believer in Christ that we should work in
- 15:27Speaker 1: certain dimensions. Ephesians 3 and verse 10, it says, now
- 15:31Speaker 1: to the intent that unto principalities and powers of In
- 15:37Speaker 1: heavenly places might be made known by the church, the manifold,
- 15:43Speaker 1: multi-sided wisdom of God. Hallelujah. Now, in acquiring spiritual knowledge,
- 15:52Speaker 1: please listen. In acquiring spiritual knowledge, not every spiritual information
- 15:58Speaker 1: is useful for your growth. It is important that you
- 16:02Speaker 1: understand this. Just because the information is spiritual, does not
- 16:07Speaker 1: mean it adds up to your growth. There are many
- 16:11Speaker 1: spiritual information that are not within the curriculum of the
- 16:16Speaker 1: believer's growth. It is not everything spiritual that we have
- 16:21Speaker 1: been mandated to learn. The realm of the spirit is
- 16:24Speaker 1: a vast realm with so many dimensions of knowledge. And
- 16:29Speaker 1: some of this knowledge are profitable for your excelling, Some
- 16:35Speaker 1: of this knowledge are detrimental to your growth. Are we
- 16:39Speaker 1: together now? It is not every kind of spiritual knowledge
- 16:43Speaker 1: that is for the consumption of the believer. The same
- 16:46Speaker 1: way it is not every kind of tree you find around.
- 16:50Speaker 1: It's not every kind of food you find around that
- 16:52Speaker 1: you eat. Just because it looks edible does not mean
- 16:56Speaker 1: it is healthy for your consumption. Am I right on that?
- 16:59Speaker 1: There are certain fruits that look beautiful, look wonderful, and
- 17:04Speaker 1: once you want to touch them, a nutritionist or an
- 17:07Speaker 1: agriculturist will hit your hand and say, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 17:10Speaker 1: Don't touch that fruit. It looks beautiful, but the moment
- 17:13Speaker 1: you take it, you are dead in minutes. They use
- 17:16Speaker 1: some of those trees to extract poison and all kinds
- 17:21Speaker 1: of things from them. This is how it is with
- 17:23Speaker 1: the realm of the spirit. There are many believers right
- 17:27Speaker 1: now who in their pursuit For knowledge. Have doubled into
- 17:31Speaker 1: a lot of things. And our generation is a generation
- 17:35Speaker 1: that has such a great appetite for knowledge. And that
- 17:39Speaker 1: is very important. While that is commendable on one hand.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Many people have delved into all kinds of knowledge. And
- 17:46Speaker 1: believe me when I tell you. In this work I
- 17:49Speaker 1: have met a few people. Who have become what is
- 17:52Speaker 1: not like Christ. And it was knowledge that made them
- 17:56Speaker 1: become like that. There were two trees in the garden
- 17:58Speaker 1: of Eden. The first was called the tree of life.
- 18:01Speaker 1: The second was called the tree of the knowledge of
- 18:04Speaker 1: good and evil. Both good and evil were connected in
- 18:07Speaker 1: that tree. So when you ate of the second tree,
- 18:12Speaker 1: whatever prophetic significance eating means in that sense, you partook
- 18:16Speaker 1: of that tree, there would be some good in it.
- 18:19Speaker 1: But with it would come a dangerous side effect.
- 18:22Speaker 8: Are we together?
- 18:23Speaker 1: Are we together? There are people who have read books.
- 18:26Speaker 1: There are people who have encountered spirits that have downloaded
- 18:30Speaker 1: certain information. And upon acting on those information, they found
- 18:34Speaker 1: themselves becoming more antichrist. I know people who have been
- 18:38Speaker 1: held bound in hospitals simply because they started acquiring certain
- 18:43Speaker 1: kinds of knowledge from spirits. Are we together now? Most
- 18:49Speaker 1: of the pseudo, with all due respect, the pseudo Christian
- 18:53Speaker 1: expressions and errors today have come because people pursued knowledge.
- 18:58Speaker 1: They were open to the realm of the spirit and
- 19:00Speaker 1: they consumed just everything they found. Knowledge is food. What
- 19:06Speaker 1: food does to your body is what knowledge does to
- 19:09Speaker 1: your spirit. What food does to your body is what
- 19:13Speaker 1: light knowledge does to your spirit. The Bible says for
- 19:17Speaker 1: a man to live effectively, he lives by food and words.
- 19:23Speaker 1: A man cannot live by food alone. It says man
- 19:26Speaker 1: shall not live by bread alone, but by every word.
- 19:29Speaker 1: So men live by food, but they also live by words.
- 19:33Speaker 1: They live by information. They live by light. Is God
- 19:37Speaker 1: helping someone already? So most believers have doubled into all
- 19:42Speaker 1: kinds of things. I remember many years ago, true story.
- 19:47Speaker 1: Then I was in Zaria. And after service, this group
- 19:52Speaker 1: of fine young men just come to me. And while
- 19:56Speaker 1: counseling people. And one of them stood very bold, very audacious,
- 20:01Speaker 1: very confident. And I'm looking at this gentleman. I'm saying, wow,
- 20:04Speaker 1: this must be a very fine young man. Man of God.
- 20:08Speaker 1: And then I see two people across and then I say, okay,
- 20:11Speaker 1: so what can I pray for you for? True story.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Then he looks at me and says, well, I am
- 20:18Speaker 1: me now, Joshua Selman. They said, I am John the Baptist.
- 20:21Speaker 1: And that that gentleman standing is Jesus. True story. If
- 20:24Speaker 1: I'm joking, I will tell you I'm joking. And that
- 20:26Speaker 1: they came to replicate what happened in scripture. I thought
- 20:30Speaker 1: they were joking, you know, just I laughed it over,
- 20:33Speaker 1: but I found out they were serious. The other guy
- 20:36Speaker 1: that stood there was, I don't know whether it was
- 20:38Speaker 1: John or something. I mean it literally. A replica of
- 20:41Speaker 1: these disciples. And that young man stood boldly. He was not,
- 20:46Speaker 1: I mean he just came and said, Look, do what
- 20:48Speaker 1: John did to Jesus and let me leave. And then
- 20:51Speaker 1: I looked at them immediately. I discerned that something had
- 20:54Speaker 1: gone wrong. These gentlemen were sincere. Either they were wrongly mentored.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Or they were exposed to wrong knowledge. Just because it
- 21:03Speaker 1: is in the Bible does not mean it is the
- 21:05Speaker 1: word of God. Listen and learn. This Bible is a
- 21:11Speaker 1: compendium of the speakings of many, many, many, many spirits.
- 21:16Speaker 1: In this Bible, Satan spoke. In this Bible, men spoke
- 21:22Speaker 1: from their backslidden state. In this Bible, the spirit of
- 21:26Speaker 1: God spoke. In this Bible, Jesus spoke. In this Bible,
- 21:32Speaker 1: hedonistic king spoke. There are three layers to scripture. If
- 21:37Speaker 1: you're a man of God here, please listen. It will
- 21:39Speaker 1: help you to be able to mentor and build your people.
- 21:42Speaker 1: The first layer of scripture is called a historic and
- 21:46Speaker 1: an archaeological layer. So in the most basic form, the
- 21:52Speaker 1: Bible is a book of archaeology and history. You don't
- 21:57Speaker 1: have to be born again to read the Bible. You
- 21:59Speaker 1: can read the Bible as an interesting capture of historic events.
- 22:04Speaker 1: And it will give you historic enlightenment, archaeological enlightenment. There
- 22:09Speaker 1: are people today who are not godly, but have had
- 22:11Speaker 1: to make reference to Bible information in writing their PhD thesis.
- 22:17Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with spirituality. Are we together?
- 22:20Speaker 1: So there is a historic... An archaeological layer in scripture.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Number two. There is a doctrinal layer in scripture. This
- 22:30Speaker 1: is really where edification comes from the believer. There is
- 22:34Speaker 1: a doctrinal layer. So there is an intelligence that the
- 22:38Speaker 1: spirit of God grants unto a man. A man of
- 22:41Speaker 1: God and a believer. And within the stories. Within the parables.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Within the scenarios. In the midst of history. You will
- 22:49Speaker 1: be able to peace out light. established precepts in the
- 22:55Speaker 1: spirit called doctrine then number three there is a prophetic
- 23:01Speaker 1: layer to the bible this one has to do with
- 23:06Speaker 1: a unique expression of the spirit of god upon you
- 23:09Speaker 1: that you will see certain things that are not necessarily
- 23:12Speaker 1: doctrines but then they have within them the character of
- 23:17Speaker 1: christ and can become a template for your own victory
- 23:21Speaker 1: Are we together? For instance, walking around Jericho was a
- 23:25Speaker 1: prophetic action, but not a doctrine. You cannot teach people
- 23:29Speaker 1: to walk around because according to scripture, there are three
- 23:33Speaker 1: conditions for any body of knowledge to become a doctrine.
- 23:36Speaker 1: Number one, it must be represented in the Old Testament.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Number two, it must be captured within the ministry of Jesus.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Number three, it must be practiced by the early apostles.
- 23:50Speaker 1: If it does not pass through these three tests, it
- 23:54Speaker 1: cannot be called a doctrine. Doesn't mean it is error,
- 23:58Speaker 1: but it means it cannot be an established precept that
- 24:01Speaker 1: you use to build believers. Are we together now? You
- 24:05Speaker 1: need to understand this so you appreciate what I'm about
- 24:07Speaker 1: to teach you. So there are three kinds of error
- 24:11Speaker 1: in the body of Christ today. The first is what
- 24:16Speaker 1: the Bible wants. It says the Spirit speaketh expressly that
- 24:21Speaker 1: in the latter times some shall depart from the faith
- 24:25Speaker 1: and they shall give heed to seducing spirits and the
- 24:29Speaker 1: doctrine of demons. So the first dimension is Or the
- 24:34Speaker 1: first error in the body of Christ today is called
- 24:37Speaker 1: the error of apostasy. A deviation from the precepts of God.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Teaching the doctrine of demons. You don't have to be
- 24:49Speaker 1: demonic to teach the doctrine of demons. You just have
- 24:53Speaker 1: to be mentored along the lines of the doctrine of demons.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Are we together? You can be very sincere but be
- 25:01Speaker 1: a victim of the kind of mentorship platform you were
- 25:04Speaker 1: part of. So apostasy. Number two. The second error that
- 25:12Speaker 1: God is correcting within the body of Christ is the
- 25:16Speaker 1: error of imbalance. Exaggerating truth beyond the scope of their
- 25:22Speaker 1: spiritual relevance. Just because it is truth in the Bible
- 25:28Speaker 1: does not mean there is a space that truth in
- 25:32Speaker 1: scripture occupies are we together now sanctify them by your
- 25:40Speaker 1: truth he says your word is truth there is a
- 25:43Speaker 1: place that prayer occupies there is a place that fasting
- 25:47Speaker 1: occupies There is a place that giving occupies. Are we together?
- 25:52Speaker 1: There is a place that diligence occupies. There is a
- 25:55Speaker 1: place that unity occupies. Now the challenge is the moment
- 26:00Speaker 1: you single out a particular body of knowledge and spread
- 26:05Speaker 1: it beyond its scope of relevance... It begins to destroy people.
- 26:10Speaker 1: Even nutritionally speaking, we are taught that there are six
- 26:13Speaker 1: classes of food. And all of them are important. Perhaps
- 26:16Speaker 1: not equally important, but holistically important. They complement themselves to
- 26:22Speaker 1: create a healthy being, a healthy organism. Am I right
- 26:26Speaker 1: on that? By the time your passion becomes fats and oils...
- 26:31Speaker 1: And everybody who comes around you, that's all you serve.
- 26:34Speaker 1: Fats and oils. And then you say, ignore protein. Ignore carbohydrates.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Now you are getting into error. It is a major
- 26:43Speaker 1: problem that God is solving right now within the body
- 26:48Speaker 1: of Christ. The error of imbalance. And it comes from sincerity.
- 26:53Speaker 1: You don't have to be evil. To be a victim.
- 26:57Speaker 1: Or to communicate imbalance. It is the side effect. Of
- 27:01Speaker 1: the way God trains men. So if God has called me.
- 27:04Speaker 1: Watch this now. To the apostolic ministry. Because of the
- 27:09Speaker 1: nature of my call. Spiritual activities like fasting.
- 27:13Speaker 3: Like prayer.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Are we together now?
- 27:15Speaker 3: Encounters.
- 27:17Speaker 1: And certain dimensions of spiritual reality. They become more real
- 27:21Speaker 1: to me. Than other aspects. Like administration. like excellence, like finances.
- 27:27Speaker 1: Usually those things would not be captured in my training
- 27:30Speaker 1: because God would not want to distract me. But they
- 27:33Speaker 1: are needed in my life. It's just that if God
- 27:35Speaker 1: should now bring them, they would distract me. He's already
- 27:38Speaker 1: given someone else that assignment. And God's expectation is that
- 27:42Speaker 1: I will respect that person's training and receive the benefit.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Are we together now? So if I become a mighty
- 27:51Speaker 1: man of God by fasting, by praying, by consecration, by
- 27:55Speaker 1: study of scripture, you cannot deny the results that I have.
- 28:00Speaker 1: You see that? So chances are excellent when someone says,
- 28:04Speaker 1: how about administration? I say, forget that. It was not,
- 28:07Speaker 1: God did not, it was not part of my training.
- 28:09Speaker 1: So I do not need it. And it has destroyed
- 28:12Speaker 1: the body of Christ. Just because it was not part
- 28:15Speaker 1: of your training does not mean that it will not
- 28:18Speaker 1: be part of Of your destiny. God already allocated different
- 28:22Speaker 1: dimensions of himself to people. And the secret is focusing
- 28:26Speaker 1: on your area of training. To gain mastery there. While
- 28:30Speaker 1: appreciating the unique gift of other expressions. So that it
- 28:33Speaker 1: will make you holistic. So you can be a great
- 28:36Speaker 1: man of God. powerful but people are stealing you have
- 28:39Speaker 1: no knowledge of administration you have no knowledge of excellence
- 28:43Speaker 1: there are a few people who can you are anointed
- 28:45Speaker 1: you are great but people cannot come to your church
- 28:48Speaker 1: the reason is not because you have failed in your
- 28:51Speaker 1: call you have refused to embrace other dimensions that make
- 28:55Speaker 1: you holistic the second error the error of imbalance So
- 29:01Speaker 1: there are many sincere preachers who are anointed and great
- 29:05Speaker 1: but they are poor. There are many people who are
- 29:08Speaker 1: rich but carnal. They don't want to hear anything about
- 29:11Speaker 1: spiritual activities because the moment they found money, they believe
- 29:16Speaker 1: that money is the clearest expression of faith. And so
- 29:19Speaker 1: once I have money, there's no how you can say
- 29:22Speaker 1: I do not have faith. I can use money to
- 29:24Speaker 1: do a lot of things. So if you say where
- 29:27Speaker 1: is your faith? I show you my car, I show
- 29:28Speaker 1: you my house, I show you estate and then I
- 29:31Speaker 1: beat my chest and I say I have faith. But
- 29:34Speaker 1: unfortunately that is not a measure of faith. You see
- 29:36Speaker 1: that now. So apostasy. and then the error of imbalance.
- 29:44Speaker 1: The third error that God is helping the body of
- 29:47Speaker 1: Christ to be delivered from is called the error of indifference.
- 29:51Speaker 1: The error of indifference. It stems from focusing on yourself
- 29:58Speaker 1: and not the larger body. It's an error. The error
- 30:01Speaker 1: of indifference. That means whatever happens to believers, whatever happens
- 30:06Speaker 1: to churches, it can go places, provided you are alright.
- 30:11Speaker 1: Are we together? So what is happening to the church
- 30:14Speaker 1: in Asaba is none of my business. You see, in
- 30:17Speaker 1: that kind of mindset, whether a pastor is suffering, whether
- 30:20Speaker 1: the pastor is going through an attack, is none of
- 30:23Speaker 1: my business, provided I am doing well as a person.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Is the error of indifference. It comes from selfishness. God
- 30:33Speaker 1: gives us the responsibility. Of watching one another's back in
- 30:37Speaker 1: the spirit. While we serve him. Are we together now?
- 30:41Speaker 1: That what becomes the pain of one. Is the pain
- 30:43Speaker 1: of everyone. What becomes the joy of one. Is the
- 30:47Speaker 1: joy of everyone. So when you hear that God granted
- 30:50Speaker 1: a man of God grace. And he bought land. It
- 30:52Speaker 1: is a plus to the entire world. you know, program
- 30:56Speaker 1: of God. Not that it's something that, well, that's his business. Provided,
- 31:02Speaker 1: so there are many people whose minds are narrow. All
- 31:05Speaker 1: they are concerned about is my program, my meeting, my church,
- 31:11Speaker 1: my member, my sermon, my reputation, my spirituality. And the
- 31:17Speaker 1: body of Christ can be suffering left and right provided
- 31:20Speaker 1: it does not affect them. That was a mistake that
- 31:24Speaker 1: Esther wanted to make. And Mordecai warned her and said,
- 31:27Speaker 1: God took you there. Now you are enjoying in the palace,
- 31:30Speaker 1: but there is a plot somewhere to annihilate all the Jews.
- 31:34Speaker 1: It will eventually include you. And Mordecai said, could it
- 31:37Speaker 1: be that God raised you for such a time as this? Personally,
- 31:41Speaker 1: she did not have any problem. Remember, she was the
- 31:43Speaker 1: wife of the king. But Haman was plotting already. He
- 31:47Speaker 1: had gotten permission to annihilate the Jews. And they used
- 31:51Speaker 1: witchcraft to select a date. And the only person who
- 31:56Speaker 1: was in the position to help was the one who
- 31:59Speaker 1: had the ears and the heart of the king. There
- 32:02Speaker 1: are many people who are giving grace not just for
- 32:05Speaker 1: themselves alone but also for others. It is the reason
- 32:08Speaker 1: why from the abundance of that which we have received
- 32:12Speaker 1: we freely give. We teach as an attempt to bring
- 32:17Speaker 1: our contribution towards strengthening the body. If as a result
- 32:21Speaker 1: of this conference now, a man of God here, a
- 32:24Speaker 1: campus fellowship president, a young man who is a mighty prophet,
- 32:28Speaker 1: apostle in the making, if you shift away from the
- 32:32Speaker 1: path of error to accuracy and you love Jesus, God
- 32:36Speaker 1: has used this teaching to help you and help all
- 32:39Speaker 1: those who will be built under your grace. Are you
- 32:42Speaker 1: seeing how it works now? There are six foundational bodies
- 32:48Speaker 1: of knowledge that every believer needs to have, needs to
- 32:54Speaker 1: know if you want to become of stature. I told you,
- 32:58Speaker 1: recall my teaching, that not every spiritual knowledge is part
- 33:02Speaker 1: of your curriculum of growth. I want to give you
- 33:06Speaker 1: six fundamental, foundational bodies of knowledge. Anyone you want to
- 33:15Speaker 1: know God and to grow, to become a person of growth,
- 33:19Speaker 1: you must expose that person to these six dimensions of knowledge.
- 33:24Speaker 1: And as I run through this list, I want you
- 33:26Speaker 1: to check with your own life. If you find ignorance
- 33:29Speaker 1: in this area, any of the areas, as a pastor,
- 33:33Speaker 1: as a man of God, let that become your project immediately.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Because your stability in the spirit rests upon your knowing
- 33:42Speaker 1: these things. Are you ready? Number one, the first body
- 33:55Speaker 1: of knowledge that all believers must be exposed to foundationally,
- 33:59Speaker 1: if you desire to be of stature, is that you
- 34:02Speaker 1: must know God. You must know God, the Father, and
- 34:09Speaker 1: you must know Jesus, the Son. You must know God,
- 34:16Speaker 1: And you must know Jesus. We began to discuss that.
- 34:18Speaker 1: We'll finish up in the night. Proverbs chapter 9 and
- 34:23Speaker 1: verse 10. Proverbs 9 and 10. The Bible says the
- 34:29Speaker 1: fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Is
- 34:32Speaker 1: that in your Bible? And the knowledge of the holy
- 34:36Speaker 1: is true understanding. You do not yet have understanding until
- 34:41Speaker 1: you know God. No matter what else you understand. If
- 34:44Speaker 1: God is not part of it. You really do not
- 34:46Speaker 1: have understanding. Yesterday we read from. John 17 and verse 3.
- 34:51Speaker 1: Jesus is praying. And he says. This is life eternal.
- 34:56Speaker 1: That they may know thee. The one true God. And
- 35:00Speaker 1: Jesus whom thou has sent.
- 35:03Speaker 3: No believer.
- 35:05Speaker 1: Will become a person of power. And grace. Until you
- 35:08Speaker 1: know God. Until you know Jesus.
- 35:11Speaker 3: Jesus.
- 35:14Speaker 1: And yesterday I began to introduce us to the pathway
- 35:18Speaker 1: to knowing God. I said, number one, you must know
- 35:21Speaker 1: God through his nature and character. We'll finish up the
- 35:25Speaker 1: remaining in the evening. But are you getting this now?
- 35:29Speaker 1: Many believers want to command signs and wonders. John G.
- 35:32Speaker 1: Lake said, T.L. Osborne of Blessed Memory, Reinhard Bonnke, all
- 35:37Speaker 1: of these great men, some today who have joined the
- 35:40Speaker 1: cloud of witnesses, the strength, their dexterity, the level of
- 35:44Speaker 1: energy that they imparted upon a generation for Jesus Christ,
- 35:49Speaker 1: it came from their knowing God and knowing Jesus. Reynard
- 35:55Speaker 1: Bonke made prophetic statements and he said Africa shall be saved.
- 35:59Speaker 1: He said this today. We are fruits of his cry.
- 36:02Speaker 1: He cried for decades, literally gave himself to Africa. I
- 36:08Speaker 1: remember those days growing up as a little boy. My
- 36:11Speaker 1: father used to buy, there used to be this video
- 36:14Speaker 1: called Betamax. It was like VHS but it was a smaller,
- 36:19Speaker 1: what they call it, the disc that you slot in
- 36:21Speaker 1: was smaller. It was full of Reinhard Bonnke crusades. The
- 36:27Speaker 1: first time I watched a video. Of fire. Burning witchcraft activity.
- 36:33Speaker 1: Without anyone setting it on fire. Was in a Reinhard
- 36:36Speaker 1: Bonnke crusade. One of the African nations. They brought skulls.
- 36:41Speaker 1: And they brought a lot of things. And while they
- 36:43Speaker 1: were praying. Nobody lit it on fire. Fire came. Not
- 36:48Speaker 1: from heaven. Just like that. May God restore these days.
- 36:53Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ. May God restore men
- 36:56Speaker 1: that walked upon the earth like God. Very unassuming man.
- 37:01Speaker 1: I remember standing in his crusade. And the kinds of
- 37:04Speaker 1: impartation that I got. Very childlike explanation of the gospel.
- 37:09Speaker 1: You can even be angry for some of us who
- 37:11Speaker 1: are obsessed about revelation. Say what am I in this
- 37:14Speaker 1: crusade ground for? But you watch the power that backs
- 37:17Speaker 1: that understanding. With that childlike faith. You would watch people
- 37:22Speaker 1: jump out of the wheelchairs. But today we preach volumes
- 37:26Speaker 1: of revelation and not even a headache is being healed.
- 37:29Speaker 1: There is something that we need to correct. It is
- 37:32Speaker 1: the knowledge of God. I can tell you some of
- 37:35Speaker 1: these men were not educated. But one thing they knew God.
- 37:39Speaker 1: If they told you God said, believe it, God said.
- 37:41Speaker 4: Hallelujah.
- 37:45Speaker 1: In Nigeria here. History has captured, poorly so unfortunately, but
- 37:51Speaker 1: history has captured men and women who walked upon the
- 37:55Speaker 1: soils of our nation. There are a few of them
- 37:58Speaker 1: that you know, like Archbishop Benson Idahosa, Apostle Babalola of late,
- 38:03Speaker 1: but they are not the only ones who... Even within
- 38:06Speaker 1: the southeast, there were men and women. History did not
- 38:09Speaker 1: do justice in capturing men and women who commanded power
- 38:14Speaker 1: and grace. It's only the ones that history reveals that
- 38:17Speaker 1: we know. Some of these men never made it to
- 38:19Speaker 1: have global visibility. But within the scope of their assignment,
- 38:23Speaker 1: they were powerful. They were some of them, if you
- 38:26Speaker 1: came to their midst, it was as if you were
- 38:28Speaker 1: in the throne room. The kind of power that they wielded.
- 38:34Speaker 1: A woman would come barring. And they would only carry
- 38:37Speaker 1: a handkerchief. And throw it on the woman. And say
- 38:40Speaker 1: go and bring your children. That's it. No prayer. Whether
- 38:44Speaker 1: she had a womb or not. This woman would return
- 38:47Speaker 1: with three plates. The knowledge of God. This man knew God.
- 38:58Speaker 1: I remember someone who wanted to harass one of the
- 39:00Speaker 1: old fathers in Nigeria. History would tell us. And he
- 39:04Speaker 1: was angry, wanted to come around his mountain. And he
- 39:07Speaker 1: told him, he said, you step your feet one more
- 39:10Speaker 1: step and you're on the ground. And the man had
- 39:12Speaker 1: to stand. Truly, this man did business with God to
- 39:17Speaker 1: a point that even when they were in error, God
- 39:19Speaker 1: would honor their word and then correct them later on.
- 39:25Speaker 1: They literally spoke like gods upon the earth. And I see...
- 39:30Speaker 1: a revival of those days coming back honestly conference i
- 39:36Speaker 1: have seen it in my visions one of the denominations
- 39:40Speaker 1: in this nation i will not mention name because i'm
- 39:42Speaker 1: on air about three years ago i was praying It's
- 39:47Speaker 1: a denomination that started well and then many things went wrong.
- 39:51Speaker 1: But I was praying and I had a very strange vision.
- 39:55Speaker 1: I saw light from heaven coming back into a structure
- 40:00Speaker 1: that looks like that denomination. It returned back and God
- 40:04Speaker 1: told me he's revisiting that denomination because of a covenant
- 40:08Speaker 1: that he had with their founders. Because God is a
- 40:11Speaker 1: covenant keeping God. I remember that time I went to
- 40:14Speaker 1: preach in a church and I announced it. And from
- 40:17Speaker 1: some of the unexpected places you will see the kind
- 40:21Speaker 1: of young people that God is going to be raising.
- 40:24Speaker 1: Unexpected places. The knowledge of God. The first knowledge that
- 40:30Speaker 1: you need. Are you ready for number two? Blessed is
- 40:35Speaker 1: he who comes in the name of God. Blessed is
- 40:42Speaker 1: he who comes in the name of our God. Holy, holy.
- 40:55Speaker 1: Blessed is he who comes in the name of our God.
- 41:01Speaker 1: Number two. The second foundational spiritual knowledge you must have
- 41:08Speaker 1: if you want to be of stature and power in
- 41:10Speaker 1: the spirit is that you must know who you are
- 41:14Speaker 1: in Christ. You must know who you have become today
- 41:18Speaker 1: in light of who Christ is. There are many people
- 41:22Speaker 1: who want to do exploits in the spirit but they
- 41:26Speaker 1: have not paid attention to knowing who they have become.
- 41:31Speaker 1: It is not just a word of faith cliche who
- 41:33Speaker 1: you are in Christ. With all due respect, even many
- 41:36Speaker 1: who teach these things clearly do not understand. The believer
- 41:40Speaker 1: has become a brand, a specie of a person in Christ.
- 41:46Speaker 1: There is all the difference in your life by reason
- 41:49Speaker 1: of your encounter with Christ. Hallelujah. Nicodemus watched Jesus for
- 41:55Speaker 1: a long time. And he said, is this really the
- 41:58Speaker 1: son of Mary? No. If this guy were a man alone,
- 42:01Speaker 1: he would not be able to walk these things. He
- 42:03Speaker 1: comes to him and says, Rabbi, we know that thou
- 42:07Speaker 1: art a teacher sent from God, not born of a woman.
- 42:11Speaker 1: He redefined Jesus correctly. That although you pass through the
- 42:15Speaker 1: womb of a woman, will not allow that womb deceive us.
- 42:18Speaker 1: We know that this kind of result cannot come from
- 42:22Speaker 1: a man who has come from a woman. We know
- 42:24Speaker 1: that thou art a teacher sent from God. For no
- 42:28Speaker 1: man can do these miracles that thou doest except God
- 42:33Speaker 1: be with him. There are certain results that men cannot produce.
- 42:39Speaker 1: It is not affordable within the world of men. And
- 42:42Speaker 1: so if men seek to produce it, there has to
- 42:45Speaker 1: be a regening. The Bible calls it a regeneration.
- 42:49Speaker 3: Literally.
- 42:51Speaker 1: Hallelujah. How does a man speak to you and says
- 42:56Speaker 1: by this time tomorrow and the gates of your destiny open?
- 43:00Speaker 1: Men cannot do that. That is not available within the
- 43:05Speaker 1: world of men. Men can walk. Men can talk. Men
- 43:09Speaker 1: can cook. Men can eat. But signs and wonders influence
- 43:13Speaker 1: extraordinary manifestations. This one is beyond the scope of homo sapiens.
- 43:19Speaker 1: You have to become another kind of species. Are we together?
- 43:26Speaker 9: Yes.
- 43:28Speaker 1: If you stand before Pharaoh... Just as a man. Then
- 43:32Speaker 1: you may not survive it. If you stand before the darkness.
- 43:36Speaker 1: The spirits that are around Asaba. And generally the sound is.
- 43:41Speaker 1: Sound sound. And you just want to say look. You
- 43:44Speaker 1: are 500 years in witchcraft. 200 years in witchcraft. I've
- 43:49Speaker 1: come to destroy the shrine. Be careful. You may face casualties.
- 43:53Speaker 1: That will make your life a memorial. A testimony. That
- 43:58Speaker 1: you should know God first before confronting Pharaoh. Most believers
- 44:05Speaker 1: do not know who they are. And I'm not just
- 44:08Speaker 1: talking of mentally knowing it. I'm light. I'm salt. I'm
- 44:11Speaker 1: the head. I'm not the tail. You see those who
- 44:13Speaker 1: are saying it. It's as if they are reciting a
- 44:15Speaker 1: poem in primary school. I'm the head. I'm not the tail.
- 44:19Speaker 1: I'm the light of the world.
- 44:20Speaker 3: I'm a rock.
- 44:21Speaker 1: You know all those things. And no conviction. It is
- 44:25Speaker 1: not true. If you believe half of the things you
- 44:28Speaker 1: have confessed about you. Ladies and gentlemen. When the angel
- 44:32Speaker 1: appeared to Gideon. He never called him a weak man.
- 44:35Speaker 1: Never called him a hiding man. Mighty man of fellow.
- 44:40Speaker 1: And he said don't insult me. If that is true
- 44:43Speaker 1: about me. Why has this calamity befallen us? The least
- 44:48Speaker 1: of my father's tribe. And the least from my lineage.
- 44:55Speaker 1: But when God. Allowed that revelation to sink into him.
- 44:59Speaker 1: So I am a mighty man of valor. He said
- 45:02Speaker 1: now go in this thy might. What is the might?
- 45:05Speaker 1: The knowledge that has come that you are not weak again.
- 45:08Speaker 1: And the Bible says he blew a shofar and 33,000, 32,000
- 45:13Speaker 1: people showed up. A man who was hiding now had
- 45:16Speaker 1: the courage to lead a battalion to defeat the Midianites.
- 45:22Speaker 1: There are things when you know about yourself. complex, low self-esteem.
- 45:29Speaker 1: All of these things. It's not an issue of counseling.
- 45:31Speaker 1: There is a revelation of who you are in light
- 45:34Speaker 1: of who Christ is. It must become a reality. Man
- 45:38Speaker 1: of God, listen to me. In the name of Jesus,
- 45:40Speaker 1: when you know this about yourself, there is nothing God
- 45:43Speaker 1: tells you that you will not believe he can make
- 45:46Speaker 1: happen through you. Hallelujah. God has done something to me.
- 45:53Speaker 1: There is a confidence that he has given me There
- 45:56Speaker 1: is nothing God says to do that I do not believe.
- 46:00Speaker 1: Every time I read the Bible and I read what
- 46:02Speaker 1: he says about me, I believe it. For instance, you
- 46:06Speaker 1: shall be exalted above all the nations of the earth.
- 46:09Speaker 1: And this blessing shall come upon you and overtake you.
- 46:12Speaker 1: I believed that statement when I was staying in one room.
- 46:15Speaker 1: I believed that statement when I could not afford maybe
- 46:18Speaker 1: ten hundred thousand naira. I believed it. There are things
- 46:24Speaker 1: that you can believe about yourself. He suffered no man
- 46:28Speaker 1: to do them wrong. He reproved kings for their sake. Saying,
- 46:32Speaker 1: touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm. Listen,
- 46:36Speaker 1: it matters what you believe. About yourself. Wounded people wound others.
- 46:42Speaker 1: Frustrated people frustrate others. Even if you are a preacher.
- 46:46Speaker 1: If you are not healed by the revelation of who
- 46:49Speaker 1: you are in Christ. You will find yourself interpreting life
- 46:52Speaker 1: from the lens of your insecurity. You will injure members.
- 46:57Speaker 1: Every time you see people rising, you become threatened. When
- 47:00Speaker 1: young people now start rising under you, you become threatened.
- 47:03Speaker 1: The awareness of who you are in Christ gives you
- 47:07Speaker 1: the comfort to lift others, not just to celebrate them.
- 47:11Speaker 1: If you don't have this revelation, you will find every
- 47:13Speaker 1: other man of God who is not you. When you
- 47:16Speaker 1: hear that God is raising some young man in a
- 47:18Speaker 1: campus in Asaba, at the day the gentle man comes,
- 47:21Speaker 1: you will find a way of pinning him down. Are
- 47:27Speaker 1: we together? When you use one candle and light a
- 47:31Speaker 1: hundred others, you will not even know which one lit which.
- 47:35Speaker 1: But the first candle is confident enough to say, I've
- 47:39Speaker 1: done my assignment. Even if I look the same like
- 47:41Speaker 1: the ones that I lit. Are we together? When Jesus
- 47:46Speaker 1: was raising the apostles, you would never see him try
- 47:49Speaker 1: to struggle for position and say, you guys are trying
- 47:52Speaker 1: to fight me. You don't know who I am.
- 47:53Speaker 3: No.
- 47:55Speaker 1: If you saw him and them, you would not even
- 47:56Speaker 1: know who was Jesus. When they came to look for him,
- 47:59Speaker 1: they were confused. Listen, if you know who you are
- 48:04Speaker 1: in Christ, you will have the grace to be able
- 48:08Speaker 1: to even support another man of God when he's doing
- 48:10Speaker 1: a program and it's not your program. And say, I
- 48:12Speaker 1: hear that you are doing a great job. May God
- 48:14Speaker 1: bless you. May souls be saved. And you mean it
- 48:17Speaker 1: from your heart. Most of the troubles and the hatred
- 48:22Speaker 1: going up around the body of Christ, can I tell you,
- 48:25Speaker 1: is as a result of wounds that have come from backgrounds.
- 48:28Speaker 1: You just listen to me. There are many businessmen, preachers, anointed,
- 48:33Speaker 1: but they ignore the wounds that came from their childhood.
- 48:37Speaker 1: Some of them were not believed by their parents. Some
- 48:40Speaker 1: of them were ignored. And from that standpoint... They do
- 48:43Speaker 1: not even know that while you are pressing into Christ,
- 48:46Speaker 1: there is a healing that you need yourself. That is
- 48:48Speaker 1: why Jesus is called a great physician. There are some
- 48:52Speaker 1: of you seated right now. The reason God has not
- 48:54Speaker 1: announced you is that there is an inner work of
- 48:58Speaker 1: healing that needs to come to you. You grew up
- 49:00Speaker 1: hearing everybody say you will never make it. You spend
- 49:03Speaker 1: 10 years for a four-year course. That low esteem is
- 49:07Speaker 1: still in you. If you become a pastor with that
- 49:10Speaker 1: kind of mindset, you will kill your music director as
- 49:13Speaker 1: he's rising, kill your assistants, and you will hate yourself
- 49:16Speaker 1: for doing that. But you will not be able to
- 49:18Speaker 1: help yourself. it will be like an addiction to drugs
- 49:23Speaker 1: when people see me they say apostle why do you
- 49:25Speaker 1: celebrate ministers you sow into people you do things and
- 49:29Speaker 1: all of that you are just you live a happy
- 49:31Speaker 1: life it's as if and i tell them i said
- 49:34Speaker 1: i was not born like that I allowed the great
- 49:37Speaker 1: physician to do a work in my spirit. Not just
- 49:40Speaker 1: to give me an anointing. When God revealed to me
- 49:44Speaker 1: the level of his jealousy for me. How far he's
- 49:47Speaker 1: able to go. That is the lens from which I
- 49:51Speaker 1: interpret things. That's how I love people. So you can forgive.
- 49:55Speaker 1: You can forbear. You can ignore whatever it is. Hallelujah.
- 50:02Speaker 1: Praise the name of the Lord. And as I'm speaking
- 50:05Speaker 1: right now. The great physician is doing a work of
- 50:09Speaker 1: healing to someone. Listen to what I'm telling you. Wounded
- 50:14Speaker 1: people will wound others. A wounded spouse will wound her
- 50:19Speaker 1: husband or the wife. And be wondering, why am I
- 50:23Speaker 1: doing this? There are people today who rejoice when others
- 50:27Speaker 1: are in pain. They are not wicked people. They have
- 50:29Speaker 1: just gone through so much pain. They are angry when
- 50:32Speaker 1: they see people rejoicing. It's true. Just because you happen
- 50:38Speaker 1: to find your way to the pulpit does not mean
- 50:41Speaker 1: you are healed. You have to lie down on that
- 50:44Speaker 1: surgical bed and allow the great physician come and do
- 50:48Speaker 1: a work within you. Are we together now? If Joseph
- 50:53Speaker 1: was not healed, do you know what he would have
- 50:55Speaker 1: done to his brothers? But there was something he knew.
- 50:58Speaker 1: How do you carry your brother, remove his coat of
- 51:01Speaker 1: many colors, throw him into a well, sell him to
- 51:05Speaker 1: the Egyptians? And then that gentleman goes to the house
- 51:09Speaker 1: of Potiphar. And then trouble again. Potiphar's wife came to
- 51:13Speaker 1: complicate his life. And he went to the prison. The
- 51:16Speaker 1: Bible does not tell us how long. Then a wine
- 51:19Speaker 1: presser who would have helped him added two years to
- 51:22Speaker 1: his pain again. Then he comes out and becomes a
- 51:25Speaker 1: prime minister. If you are not healed, the first people
- 51:28Speaker 1: to summon are your brothers. And slaughter them one by
- 51:32Speaker 1: one as a lesson. Healed people can look through the
- 51:35Speaker 1: lens of their pain and say you did it for evil.
- 51:38Speaker 1: But God has turned it for good. Are you learning now?
- 51:44Speaker 1: Knowing who you are in Christ is not just about
- 51:46Speaker 1: being a Pentecostal. That is where your healing comes. Many
- 51:55Speaker 1: people do not take the time to allow God to
- 51:58Speaker 1: heal them by revealing to them who they are. So
- 52:01Speaker 1: the moment you see a member in your church, maybe
- 52:04Speaker 1: richer than you, buying something nice, you are watching, okay,
- 52:08Speaker 1: I need to go and get, and that burden just
- 52:10Speaker 1: destroys you for nothing. The pressure to prove a point,
- 52:16Speaker 1: the pressure to prove you are rich, the pressure to
- 52:19Speaker 1: prove you are the most anointed in the church is unnecessary.
- 52:23Speaker 1: Just the revelation of who you are.
- 52:25Speaker 3: I am light.
- 52:27Speaker 1: I am salt. He calls me a blessing. It doesn't
- 52:30Speaker 1: matter what social media says. How many people today would
- 52:35Speaker 1: preach a message and put it online and have three
- 52:39Speaker 1: or four likes and shares and they will go back
- 52:41Speaker 1: crying and they are depressed. Why? Because there is something
- 52:46Speaker 1: about your identity. Oh, but Joshua Selman did this and
- 52:51Speaker 1: look at hundreds of thousands and millions of people. My
- 52:54Speaker 1: message has been there four months, only four people. What
- 52:57Speaker 1: if those four people were four congregations that used your
- 53:02Speaker 1: message and it blessed them? Identity crisis is one of
- 53:07Speaker 1: the cause of hatred, one of the cause of these things. Listen,
- 53:12Speaker 1: if you have been trusting God to bring unity to
- 53:14Speaker 1: the body of Christ within this region, I am telling
- 53:17Speaker 1: you the key. It will not come just by discussing
- 53:20Speaker 1: and shaking hands. No, there has to be an inner
- 53:23Speaker 1: work of healing. That even if you are a pastor
- 53:26Speaker 1: with 10 members. You know that the price of every
- 53:30Speaker 1: one member is the blood of Jesus. And if it
- 53:32Speaker 1: is only one member you have. It is such an
- 53:35Speaker 1: honor for you to be trusted by God. To build,
- 53:39Speaker 1: to mentor that one person. So you will rejoice with
- 53:42Speaker 1: the one who God has blessed with 10,000 members. And
- 53:45Speaker 1: not just say it's not about crowd. It's someone learning.
- 53:57Speaker 1: I live a very happy life as a man of God. Sincerely,
- 54:00Speaker 1: I tell you under God, I live a very, very
- 54:04Speaker 1: happy life. If you look at me today and say,
- 54:06Speaker 1: Apostle Joshua Selman, I think you're a witch. I will
- 54:09Speaker 1: tell you, no problem. May God bless you and help you.
- 54:13Speaker 1: The day you need the service of that witch, I
- 54:16Speaker 1: will be available to help you. Are we together? Yes.
- 54:25Speaker 1: Wounded people wound others. Insecurity is a product of identity crisis.
- 54:31Speaker 1: Even psychologists teach us. There are people today who if
- 54:38Speaker 1: they come for a meeting and they don't sit in front,
- 54:41Speaker 1: it will be as if half of their anointing has disappeared.
- 54:43Speaker 4: No.
- 54:49Speaker 1: Number three. Is someone learning? The third fundamental knowledge that
- 55:02Speaker 1: every believer must have. I hope I'm not wasting your time.
- 55:06Speaker 1: If you desire to rise to attain stature. And pastors,
- 55:10Speaker 1: as I'm teaching you this, I'm already giving you a
- 55:13Speaker 1: guide as to how to bring out your messages. Listen,
- 55:18Speaker 1: you don't have to bring new messages to prove you're
- 55:21Speaker 1: a pastor. We are mandated to remain fresh, not necessarily new.
- 55:26Speaker 1: The body of truth that views the believer is finite.
- 55:30Speaker 1: You will exhaust it in your pastoral ministry. What will
- 55:33Speaker 1: keep you going is freshness, not newness. This passion for
- 55:37Speaker 1: newness is what has brought in error because everyone wants
- 55:40Speaker 1: to say something that has never been said.
- 55:42Speaker 3: No.
- 55:43Speaker 1: The thing that is is the thing that was and
- 55:45Speaker 1: is the thing that will still be. The curriculum for
- 55:48Speaker 1: the believer's maturity is fixed. It is called doctrine. The
- 55:51Speaker 1: Latin word is doctrina. A body of knowledge that turns
- 55:55Speaker 1: a disciple to become like his master. Are we learning?
- 56:00Speaker 1: Very important. So number three, let's hurry up. What is
- 56:04Speaker 1: the third body of truth that you must know? You
- 56:06Speaker 1: must know your place in destiny and in God's prophetic program.
- 56:13Speaker 1: You must know your place. Don't assume that you understand
- 56:17Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You must know your place in destiny
- 56:22Speaker 1: and in God's prophetic program. Not everybody will have international ministry.
- 56:32Speaker 1: Not everybody will be able to pack this auditorium full
- 56:36Speaker 1: of people. Can I tell you, one of the ways
- 56:39Speaker 1: you become distracted in life is stepping out of the
- 56:43Speaker 1: zone of your call and embracing. Just because of the
- 56:46Speaker 1: pressure to look successful. Success for the believer is not
- 56:51Speaker 1: the same as for the unbeliever. unbelievers have certain parameters
- 56:55Speaker 1: that they use to measure success but success for the
- 56:59Speaker 1: believer is fulfilling your god-given mandate to his expectation that
- 57:04Speaker 1: is it if your assignment is to give back to
- 57:07Speaker 1: jesus and you become an excellent chef you become an
- 57:12Speaker 1: excellent doctor and you don't end up giving back to
- 57:15Speaker 1: jesus you will not be called mary Are we together now?
- 57:19Speaker 1: Mary's assignment was to see the successful delivery. Of he
- 57:25Speaker 1: that would be the savior of the world. And in
- 57:27Speaker 1: doing that. She fulfilled her assignment. You must know your place.
- 57:35Speaker 1: All believers must be taught. To know their place. Hebrews
- 57:39Speaker 1: 10 and 7. Paul was speaking. And he said. Talking
- 57:44Speaker 1: about Jesus. Lo I come. In the volume of the book,
- 57:49Speaker 1: it is written of me to do thy will. There
- 57:54Speaker 1: are aspects in ministry you will never find me there.
- 57:57Speaker 1: Not because I'm ignorant in those areas, but it is
- 58:00Speaker 1: not part of the scope of my call. If God
- 58:03Speaker 1: revisits me in the future and adds it to the
- 58:06Speaker 1: curriculum of my call, I will faithfully carry it out.
- 58:10Speaker 1: Are we together? If I'm not a man of God
- 58:13Speaker 1: and God tells me your assignment is to sweep this stage,
- 58:17Speaker 1: I would do it with all my heart and for
- 58:19Speaker 1: the rest of my life. We need to redefine our
- 58:23Speaker 1: idea of success in the body of Christ so that
- 58:26Speaker 1: people don't come under pressure. Chances are excellent that when
- 58:30Speaker 1: you see Joshua Selman come in, And the protocol and
- 58:34Speaker 1: you guys were singing beautifully. Yesterday they put rapper all
- 58:38Speaker 1: over me and I was wondering what am I doing
- 58:39Speaker 1: with this? And they said it's a way that they
- 58:41Speaker 1: do a grand welcome here. So honored for the hospitality.
- 58:45Speaker 1: I'm sure someone will be watching and say, God, my
- 58:47Speaker 1: turn must come. Listen, let me just warn you now.
- 58:50Speaker 1: In love, let me just encourage you. You will be
- 58:55Speaker 1: surprised that in the realm of the spirit, you are
- 58:59Speaker 1: higher in faithfulness than me. It's difficult for you to
- 59:04Speaker 1: believe because in this world we only celebrate those men
- 59:07Speaker 1: clap for, not those who do well. Am I doing
- 59:12Speaker 1: something wrong? Hallelujah. Sound people please help us. This noise.
- 59:22Speaker 1: It's not a vision. You are hearing it too.
- 59:24Speaker 3: Yes.
- 59:26Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
- 59:27Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
- 59:28Speaker 1: I needed to be sure that I'm not sharing something.
- 59:32Speaker 1: Are we together? In this world, it's not necessarily those
- 59:37Speaker 1: who do well that are celebrated. If the whole world
- 59:41Speaker 1: claps for a fool, he becomes a celebrity. If the
- 59:46Speaker 1: whole world frowns at a wise man, even if he's
- 59:49Speaker 1: crucified on the cross, he looks like a failure. So
- 59:53Speaker 1: you need to be careful. Find your place in God's program.
- 59:57Speaker 1: That includes men and women of God. God has given
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: you a church. You are a pastor over a local assembly.
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: I want you to pour your heart to those precious people.
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: Give them the best. Don't leave the people and you
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: want to do international crusades around the world. Just because
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: you want to be known. You get into debt. You
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: get into prison. You are persecuted. They never give you
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: a visa because the grace is not there. Hallelujah. Are
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: we learning? You must know your place. This gentleman is
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: playing keyboard for me right now. Your wonderful sound people
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: are saying to it that the sound is wonderful, conducive.
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: The media people are there. Everybody's in his place. That's
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: why this program is running well. When it's time for
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: the worship team to come up. I sing but I
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: will not come up and hold the mic. And say
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: sit down let me sing. You know that God.
- 1:00:55Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no.
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: I sit patiently and wait for my turn. Are we
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: together now?
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: The energy God gave you is for your assignment. If
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: you look weak, you are using that energy for something else.
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: God has measured what he gave you and gave you
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: energy sufficient. In your assignment, there is no weakness and
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: there is no weariness. Most people have depleted themselves today
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: because they are finding themselves depleting strength in an area
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: where grace is not. Sometimes people look at me and say, Apostle,
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: you travel all around and you are doing this. I
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: tell you, in the last one month, without exaggeration, I've
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: not rested from pillar to post, pillar to post. I
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: returned here from Lagos directly. And from here by tomorrow now,
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: I'm back straight for the miracle service. This is my life.
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: The reason is because there is grace for it. That's
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: why God defends his name. It's not a call for carelessness,
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: but there is grace. You will now try to do
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: this and find out that you wake up and part
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: of your leg may not wake up again with you
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: and your hand and you may be talking, you will
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: not even know you are in a hospital because something
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: has happened to you. Say amen. Provided John the Baptist
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: was within the scope of his assignment, he insulted the
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: Pharisees and nobody could catch him because there was a
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: grace that covered him But the moment he came out
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: of his assignment. An offense took him somewhere. They put
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: him in a prison. The man that ordained Jesus. And
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: look at how he died. A little girl demanded his head.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: On a birthday. Is that how God rewards those who
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: serve him? The Bible says of all the prophets until John.
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: Including Moses, including Elijah, none was the greatest. Do you
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: know what made him great? Because he was the one
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: who ordained Jesus into ministry. All the other people looked
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: forward to the coming of Jesus. Of all the prophets,
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: he was the only one who saw Jesus and ordained him.
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: And yet when he came out, he could insult people.
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: Call them brood of vipers. Call them all kinds of
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: things and they have no power to harm him. Your
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: immunity is in your assignment. The third kind of knowledge
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: that every believer must know. Pastor, you will raise a
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: weak people until you let them know their place. You
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: will let them know that everybody does not have to
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: be on the pulpit to be useful to God. There
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: are many young people today who have no business being
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: on the pulpit. But simply because we have trained them
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: to believe that the zenith of spirituality is to become
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: a preacher. And so there are many businessmen who are
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: wasting away on the pulpit. There are many inventors and
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: educators wasting away on the pulpit. Because we have given
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: a narrative that if you are a man of God
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: on the pulpit, you are more superior to any other assignment.
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: It is not true.
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: Jesus without Joseph of Arimathea will never be buried in
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: the grave. Jesus without Simon of Cyrene will never hang
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: on the tree. Are we together now? Yes. Jesus without
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: the disciples, they already paid to bury the truth of
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: the gospel. It took certain men to give their lives
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: to continue it. When I challenge people, I tell them
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: not everybody must be a preacher to be relevant in
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: the spirit, but everybody must be spiritual. Everybody can carry
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: fire in whatever dimension. The goal is not to be
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: a preacher. The goal is to be a spiritual person
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: doing the business of God as a faithful witness. If
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: we're together, say amen. Number four, let me run very quickly.
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: The fourth foundational knowledge that every believer must have. This
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: is very important. And I'll talk a lot about that tonight.
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: You must understand how God operates. It's called the mysteries
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: of the kingdom. Matthew 13, 11. You must understand how
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: God operates. His modus operandi. The way he operates. He
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: answered and said unto them, because it is given unto
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven.
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: But to them it is not given. Please look at me. Believers,
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: you only excel in this kingdom to the degree to
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: which you understand the ways of God. The Bible says
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: he made known his ways to Moses, but his acts
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: to the children of Israel. Before Moses cried that God
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: should show him his glory, he prayed that God should
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: show him his way. I think that should be Exodus 33, 13.
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: I hope I get that right. Show me your way. Now, therefore,
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight,
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: he says, show me your way. Then when we get
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: to verse 18, he now says, show me your glory.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: It's his way that leads to his glory. Leviticus chapter
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: 9 and verse 6. This is what the Lord commanded.
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: Moses told them that this is what the Lord commanded
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: that you should do. And the glory shall appear unto you. Hallelujah.
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: God is a God of patterns. A pattern is a
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: predefined methodology. A predefined methodology. A predefined methodology. Women, there
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: is a way to make soup. Am I right on that?
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: Just because you have the correct ingredients does not mean
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: you will make the soup. I know there are some
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: of you who are champions of all kinds of soup.
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: All we need to do is to bring the ingredients,
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: get out of the kitchen and give you time. We
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: can salivate in the parlor while we wait impatiently. And two,
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: three hours the meal is ready because you know what
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: to do. Listen, excelling in the kingdom comes on the
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: strength of the knowledge on what to do. Jesus himself
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: knew what to do. Do you know what to do
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: to prosper? Do you know what to do to have
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: people come to listen to you? Do you know what
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: to do to remain in longevity and strength and vitality?
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: Do you know what to do to ward off the
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: arsenals of darkness? It says they know not, neither will
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: they understand. They walk on in darkness, Psalm 82, 5,
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: 6 and 7. And the whole. The foundations of the
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: earth are out of course. Verse 6 says. I have said.
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: Ye are gods. And all of you. Not some of you.
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: Are children of the most high. Verse 7 says. But
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: you shall die like mere men. And fall like one
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: of the princes. You must know the ways of God.
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: When someone comes to you. Say as a man of God.
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: And says things are not going well. well in my
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: life what do you tell such a person oh let's
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: pray father help this man you didn't help the man
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: the knowledge of the ways of god helps you to
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: define solutions for people you know what they need to
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: do A rich young ruler comes to Jesus and says,
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: good master, what must I do? Very responsible young man.
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: What must I do to be saved? I know that
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: there is a path that leads to salvation. What must
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: I do to prosper? What must I do to rise?
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: what must i do to be free of causes that
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: is the language of faith what must i do as
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: proof that i believe you what instruction are you going
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: to give me the first miracle recorded according to john's
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: synoptic account is found in john chapter 2 The wedding
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: in Cana of Galilee. Wine finished. And by the time
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: we get to verse 5. Mary brings the disciples to Jesus.
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: And then gives them a very profound instruction. She says whatever.
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: Whatsoever he tells you to do. He says do it.
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: Do it.
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: Don't just think it. Don't just wish it. Do it.
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: We excel in the kingdom. Because of knowledge. Can I
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: tell you sincerely? And with all humility. I stand by
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: the God of heaven. Every result today. That God has
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: granted the privilege to have and command. Can be reproduced
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: in any nation of the world.
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: An architect.
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: How many of you agree with me? That I can
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: replicate this building in Abuja. I can replicate this building
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: in London. All I need is the plan. The architectural plan.
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: Am I right on that? I don't need to carry
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: this building. Even if I snap this building with a phone,
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: it does not guarantee that I will replicate it. You
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: will need a plan. But it's possible for a man
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: to never have seen this building. And just with the plan,
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: he will replicate it. If you were blinded in Asaba
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: and taken to Lagos, you will open your eyes and
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: think you are still here. Yet you've been translocated. The
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: power of patterns. Patterns forerun the glory of God. Listen
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: to me. Everywhere you see the manifestation of the glory
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: of God, it is an attestation that his patterns have
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: been kept. Earlier this year, we were in the United
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: Kingdom to have a conference. And God did many mighty things.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: And I remember in one of those videos, or one
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: of those sessions, I think it was the first or
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: second night. So I see someone who is unable to walk.
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: And before tens of thousands of people, I look at
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: the person and I tell the person, walk. You don't
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: go overseas. In Nigeria, they can pity you. Nigerians are very,
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: they can hide things and say, okay, no problem, we
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: forgive you. You did a lot of nonsense, but we
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: forgive you. You just know God. Next time, don't try
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: that nonsense again. They can hide that part, maybe edit
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: that video and just forgive you. But someone who, I mean,
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: these guys don't care. If they are not healed, they
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: will tell you they are not healed. Hallelujah. You can
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: literally end your ministry before the whole world. And right there,
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: someone was asking me, was a dear friend, and he said, Apostle, honestly,
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: I'm a man of God too. I want you to
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: tell me the truth.
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: What?
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: I mean, so this thing, you went to reproduce this
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: result there, and I said, the point is, if you
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: look at me, you will be misled. It's not me.
- 1:12:21Speaker 3: It is a pattern.
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: If you carry that pattern with you, the way they
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: favor you in Asaba is the way they favor you
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: in London. It's the way they favor you everywhere.
- 1:12:32Speaker 3: It's true.
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: Do you believe what I'm telling you?
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: A few years ago, I returned. I think it was
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: from South Africa. And I had a meeting in Lagos.
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: I was rushing to London just when COVID was about
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: to start. And then because I finished the meeting late,
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: they said I cannot, I mean... The door of the
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: aircraft is closed and unfortunately I cannot make it. I
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: called the man of God and I said, I'm sorry,
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: I may not be able to make it tonight. And
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: he said, please, people have been expecting and you know
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: the way people are here. They've registered. I can have
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: a legal case. Someone can be angry, you know, and
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: so on and so forth. And I said, well, what
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: do we do now? So one thing led to the other.
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: They spoke with the manager and he said, okay, we'll
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: halt everything tonight. Who opened the aircraft for you. But
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: you cannot come in with any luggage. Can you imagine?
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: Traveling without your luggage. I would only be allowed to
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: carry my laptop bag. And I said but my things
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: are there. My clothes and everything. And I was only
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: going just to honor the meeting and return. And I
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: remember my protocol looking at me. And I smiled. I
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: told him I said till I return. And he was
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: laughing at me. Because I knew already. It was not
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: only my bag. I was carrying a pattern. The same
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: pattern of favor. Before I arrived London, I'm just saying
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: this because I'm training leaders and speaking to people. Before
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: I arrived there, someone had given, I think, over two
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: or five thousand pounds. He said, I heard that apostle
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: is coming and he's not coming with his bag. Here
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: is this money, let him shop whatever it is. I
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: returned back after two days with two bags and I went, see,
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: no matter what you lose, don't lose the pattern. The
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: assignment of a man of God is to reveal patterns
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: to people. Who told you that there is no increase
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: in Asaba? There may not be increase for you, but
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: there is increase. Everybody is a giver. They are not
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: just giving to you, but they are givers. Under a
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: certain condition they will give. There is a pattern for power.
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: There is a pattern for increased grace. There is a
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: pattern for favor. Are we together now? Yes. Let me
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: challenge you even as a man of God. Don't say
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: people are not coming to my church. This conference has
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: shown you that there are still enough people. Available people.
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: Under certain circumstances they will come. The Bible says where
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: the carcasses are. There the eagles will gather. The knowledge
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: of the ways of God. My life changed miraculously when
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: I found that secret. Today, by the grace of God,
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: we do the things that we do for the kingdom
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: on the strength of that pattern. I can guarantee you
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: that the sick will be healed today. I can guarantee
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: you that your press will be delivered. It is not pride.
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: It is the excellency of the pattern. I can guarantee
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: you that the anointing of the spirit will come upon someone. Yes, sir.
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: When I travel, I travel with the patterns. When I speak,
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: the patterns are by my side. For someone you need
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: to settle down and be a student of the ways
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: of God. Learn what it takes to excel in your life.
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: To excel in ministry. Hallelujah. Back to the example again.
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: To the glory of God. When we're about to put
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: the conference where to put. The Lord gave us an instruction.
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: And this was what the Lord told me. Number one.
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: The meeting was going to hold in a weekday. If
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: you know anything about organizing programs overseas, you don't put
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: programs in a weekday because people are always working. They
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: have bills to pay, housing bills. There are people doing
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: multiple jobs. So when you organize a program in the
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: United Kingdom, if you have a membership of 300 members, sincerely,
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: you are a great man. You are doing well. Those
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: guys don't go to church. And now you hire the
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: largest indoor auditorium in the entire United Kingdom. Not that
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: you have a branch there. Not that you are collaborating
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: with other ministries. By the instruction of the Lord. Then
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: you do a program on a Wednesday and a Thursday.
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: Then the Lord gave me an instruction. He said there
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: is a wrong narrative that the church. The people have
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: heard about the church. I want to use this meeting
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: to correct. Because of that never mention money. And do
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: not collect any offering. No mention of money. A workforce
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: of 2,000 people plus. Which is a miracle on its own.
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: If you hold a conference with 2,000 people. That is
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: a miracle plus plus. And yet that is the workforce.
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: What grace brought them. Are we together? I hope you
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: don't think I'm bragging. I'm challenging you. When you understand
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: the ways of God, your life will become a living wonder.
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: It's not that you will do signs and wonders. You
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: will become the wonder yourself. Hallelujah. To be fair and
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: honest with you. Those who were responsible for the facility,
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: when they saw the number of registrations and the spaces
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: were exhausted, they were surprised. Who is this person? Doesn't
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: have a church yet in UK. Where are you coming from?
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: You are not maybe a secular musician that is being
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: promoted by, you know, other brands and so on and
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: so forth. Where did you get the money to pay
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: for that kind of thing? And you did not beg anybody.
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: You didn't borrow from any bank. You didn't collect from
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: any loan. Know nothing. And you are not collecting offering.
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: Then feeding over 2000 people. There are things you don't pretend.
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: If you do not understand the ways. Now you may
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: have the resources. But how about the people? More than
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: 40% or 50% of the people in that auditorium. They
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: came from outside of Manchester. On a weekday. Can I
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: tell you? The ways of God turn any man to
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: a miracle. Man of God. Don't tell me nobody wants
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: to give me. to build church. Humble yourself, take responsibility.
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: There is something I have not found. You call for
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: a healing meeting and pray for the sick. Anybody healed,
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: come out. Nobody comes out and you say it's a lie.
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: It's not true. They are not healed. Go and get
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: the pattern. Do you believe what I'm teaching you? Patterns
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: forerun the glory of God. Every time you find a pattern,
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: you have found the secret to the glory. I remember
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: when I was studying about the dynamics of the anointing.
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: I said, Lord, I cannot go to the nations just
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: with a message. I need to understand the dynamics of
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: your power and your glory. And then the pattern came.
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: Someone you are seated here right now. But you see
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: your prophetic destiny is beyond Azabah. But the reason why
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: God cannot announce you. Is because you have not become
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: a student of patterns. If God should allow you to
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: get to the next phase of ministry. You will not
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: be able to rise.
- 1:20:00Speaker 4: Hallelujah.
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: It's like a military man who does not know how
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: to shoot a gun. He does not know how to
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: throw the grenade. What are you doing in the war front?
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: You will die immediately. Immediately. Even if there is no enemy,
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: you will die yourself of incompetence. The stage is not
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: where you learn. The wilderness is where you learn. The
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: stage is a place of performance. In this case of
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: your assignment. Are we together? It's important. Let your spirit,
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: spirit of wisdom rest on me, rest on me. Let
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: your spirit, spirit of wisdom rest on me, rest on me. Oh,
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: rest on me. Oh, rest on me. Oh, rest on me.
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: Spirit of wisdom, rest on me. Listen to me. I
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: will give you one more and then we'll pray. I
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: want us to pray because I sense that there are
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: people who need to carry something from heaven in this place.
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: Even before the night. Till today I remain a student
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: of knowledge. There are many things about God I do
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: not know. There are many things about his ways I
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: do not know. I am not ashamed of admitting that
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: I do not know. My assignment is to remain a
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: student of scripture. Do not let what you know stop
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: you from knowing what you need to know. 1 Corinthians 8.2
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: Let's read it together. First Corinthians 8.2. First Corinthians 8.2. Media,
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: give it to us. First Corinthians, not Colossians. First Corinthians 8.2.
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: Let's read. One to read. And if any man thinks
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: that he knoweth anything, as he ought to know, There
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: is a standard for every result. And if you have
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: not attained. On to that standard by light. You cannot
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: command that result. Do you believe what I'm teaching you?
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: Let me speak to somebody here. You may be a
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: campus fellowship president. You are somebody that God, do you
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: know that the next, I truly believe with all my heart,
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: that the next apostolic and prophetic move within this city,
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: some of the people who spearhead that move are in
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: this place sitting right now. I truly believe it with
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: my heart. I don't think God cannot use you. No.
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: You are not yet on TV. You are not yet
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: on the internet. You are in the cave of Adulam.
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: He is still working on you. He brought you to
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: this conference because there is a birthing. There is an ignition.
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: There is something that he is doing in your heart.
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: Let your spirit, Holy Spirit, rest on me, rest on me.
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: Let your power for signs and wonders rest on me.
- 1:23:54Speaker 3: Rest on me. Oh, rest on me. Oh, rest on me. Oh,
- 1:24:07Speaker 3: rest on me.
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: Spirit of power.
- 1:24:12Speaker 3: Rest on me.
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: Rest on me. Rest on me. The spirit of revelation
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: is coming on four people. I'm seeing this in the spirit.
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: I just saw like a book open. And the Lord
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: is saying it's your season. Four of you. Let your spirit.
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: Spirit of light.
- 1:24:37Speaker 3: Rest on me. Rest on me.
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: Bring them out. Let your spirit. Rest on me, rest
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: on me. Oh, rest on me. Oh, rest on me. Oh,
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: rest on me. Spirit of wisdom, rest on me. I'd
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: like you to be very sensitive. There are four of
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: them that I saw in the spirit. Four. You will
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: never be the same. You are drinking of this wine.
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: Bring them out.
- 1:25:29Speaker 3: Rest on me. Rest on me.
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: Oh.
- 1:25:36Speaker 3: Rest on me. Rest on me. Rest on me.
- 1:25:43Speaker 4: Oh.
- 1:25:45Speaker 3: Rest on me.
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: Everyone pray in the spirit. Pray in the spirit.
- 1:26:00Speaker 3: Pray in the spirit.
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: For these four, I stretch my hands towards you. Let
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: that light now come on you. Drink of that grace.
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, I release that grace upon you.
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: Dimensions of revelation by the spirit of the living God.
- 1:26:24Speaker 3: Help her.
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: Just hold her. In the name of Jesus Christ. In
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. In
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: the name of Jesus. The spirit of prophetic revelation. A
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: prophetic teacher. You are a teacher. But it will be
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: by the spirit. I'm seeing the number six. Many of you,
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: this grace you are seeing on this stage is coming
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: on you. Bring them out. A prophetic teacher. You will
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: begin to compare spiritual things with spiritual. Are you praying? Ah,
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: the eyes that see. You will see things that others
- 1:27:09Speaker 1: have not seen in scripture.
- 1:27:13Speaker 8: Oh, rest on me. Oh, rest on me. Oh, rest
- 1:27:25Speaker 8: on me.
- 1:27:26Speaker 7: Spirit of wisdom, rest on me.
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: Prophetic teachers, access to the mysteries of the kingdom. You
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: will begin to teach the word with power. Profound access
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: to illumination. Pray in the spirit for one minute. Shabbat shalom. Listen. Listen.
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: I want you to be tired of your spiritual level.
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: And say, Father, a higher level in the spirit. Turn
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: that to your prayer now. A higher level in the spirit.
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: A higher level. Help that gentleman so he doesn't... A
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: higher level in the spirit. A higher level in the spirit.
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: If you're a pastor here, please pray. You're a missionary.
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: You're a... an intercessor.
- 1:28:41Speaker 10: Foreign king of kings lord of lords faithful and true
- 1:29:07Speaker 10: lamb of god we worship you pray for.
- 1:29:12Speaker 1: One minute king of kings lord of lords faithful and
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: true lamb of god.
- 1:29:22Speaker 7: We worship you.
- 1:29:27Speaker 3: Lamb of god.
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: We worship you.
- 1:29:33Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: Those guys wearing the red vest are the worshippers, huh?
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: I just saw like three of you. There is a
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: dealing that God is passing you through. And for one
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: of you, you are going to emerge a profound prophetic worshipper.
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: Prophetic worshipper. That grace. I stretch my hands towards you.
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: May that oil rest on you now. May that oil
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: rest on you now. There's one of you I see
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: in the spirit. You have the zeal for worship, but
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: your capacity is very small. Very, very small. You will
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: not be able to sing his praises to the nations
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: like that. You will need capacity in the spirit. Are
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: you still praying in one minute? Are there people of
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: prayer in this place? Come on. Where are the warriors
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: of prayer in Asaba? Take the next two minutes and
- 1:30:38Speaker 1: let's pray. Where are they? Men who understand the mysteries
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: of the altar. You're not wasting your time. We're wrapping
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: up soon. In the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Please sit
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: down very quickly. I will pray on these ones. I
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: need to finish what I'm giving you. If I leave
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: it without finishing, it will affect your understanding. Be sensitive now.
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: The waters has been stirred. Will not stay unnecessarily long.
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: But God is doing something.
- 1:32:01Speaker 9: Holy, holy, blessed is he who comes in the name
- 1:32:11Speaker 9: of our God. Holy, holy, blessed is he who comes
- 1:32:25Speaker 9: in the name.
- 1:32:25Speaker 5: Of our God.
- 1:32:28Speaker 9: Hosanna, Hosanna.
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: Blessed is he who comes in the name of our God.
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: Number five. There are six, but I will give you five.
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: For all those who are in front here, the impartations
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: that you have received, I pray for you. That the
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: dealing of the spirit that you need to go through.
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: To emerge. Carrying and maintaining these various graces that have
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: come upon you. The strength to stay with the spirit.
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: Let it be released upon you. Capacity to remain with
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: the spirit. Until you become. Let it be released upon you.
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ. In the name of
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: Jesus Christ.
- 1:33:26Speaker 3: Amen and amen.
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: They can return to their seats. Let's take number five.
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: What is the fifth foundational knowledge that you need to have?
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: Is God helping someone? Number five. You must know your adversary,
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: the devil. You will never be able to reign glorious.
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: If they are still under the anointing, just leave them.
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: When they are fine, they can go back to their seat.
- 1:33:53Speaker 3: Listen.
- 1:33:54Speaker 1: Listen. The fifth foundational knowledge that you must have. As
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: far as your faith adventure is concerned. Is that you
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: must know. Your adversary. The devil. 1st Peter chapter 5.
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: From verse 8 and 9. 1st Peter 5, 8 and 9.
- 1:34:15Speaker 11: Jesus.
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: 1st Peter 5, 8 and 9. Someone in the congregation,
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: your hand is going to start shaking uncontrollably. Uncontrollably. I
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: will tell you what is happening to you. Your hands.
- 1:34:38Speaker 1: Your hands. Shaking uncontrollably. There is an impartation that is
- 1:34:45Speaker 1: happening to your hands. And more of that will be
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: released upon the congregation tonight. But there is the grace
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: for signs. And for wonders. Is coming upon your hands.
- 1:34:57Speaker 1: This is what God is revealing to me. Your hands.
- 1:35:02Speaker 1: That oil. Is dripping like the dew of Hamon. Coming
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: upon your hands. Don't say why me. It is how
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: God walks. In the name of Jesus. The grace to
- 1:35:17Speaker 1: walk upon. I hope they are strong enough to go.
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: The grace. To receive grace. Of that impartation. And that
- 1:35:27Speaker 1: with it. God will use you to heal the sick.
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: He will take his healing power to the nations. In
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: dimensions and proportions. That you have not seen before. Dimensions
- 1:35:38Speaker 1: and proportions. You have not seen before. Dimensions and proportions.
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: You have not seen before. I ignite your spirit man.
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: You carry that fire. Dimensions and proportions. You have not
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: seen before. Don't bring them out. Don't worry. You don't
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: have to bring them out. Just leave them where they are.
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: You must know your adversary. The devil. Let's finish up.
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: Be sober. 1 Peter 5 and verse 8. Be vigilant.
- 1:36:11Speaker 1: He says. Because your adversary. The devil. As a roaring lion.
- 1:36:18Speaker 1: Walketh about. Seeking whom he may devour. Whom resists steadfast
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: in the faith. Knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished
- 1:36:30Speaker 1: in your brethren that are in the world. He says
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: be sober, be vigilant. He calls Satan your adversary. Listen
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: to me. If you do not understand Satan and his schemes.
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: The Bible says for we are not ignorant of his devices.
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: There is a way Satan walks. And if you do
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: not know, Satan uses deception. He says, but I hear
- 1:36:58Speaker 1: less even as Satan beguiled Eve that he will come
- 1:37:03Speaker 1: to beguile you through subtlety. Satan deceives. Satan manipulates. Satan
- 1:37:12Speaker 1: uses the tool of witchcraft. Witchcraft in its essence is
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: not about drinking blood and eating human flesh. The word
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: witchcraft in the Bible means to cause a man to
- 1:37:23Speaker 1: err using the tool of deception. It says all foolish
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: Galatians who has bewitched you. Are we together now? To
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: cause a man to err using the tool of deception
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: is the essence of witchcraft. The way Satan works has
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: never changed. His strategies remain the same. Can be uniquely
- 1:37:47Speaker 1: carved out for an individual. But he has a three-fold
- 1:37:50Speaker 1: assignment and it remains so forever. The most concise description
- 1:37:55Speaker 1: of Satan's operation was given by Jesus himself in John
- 1:37:59Speaker 1: chapter 10 and verse 10. He says the thief cometh
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: not but for to steal, to kill and to destroy.
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: You know that Satan has visited a life because you
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: search for these three-fold evidences. Stealing, killing, destruction. He says,
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: but I am come that ye may have life and
- 1:38:21Speaker 1: that you will have it more abundantly.
- 1:38:24Speaker 4: Hallelujah.
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: Satan for you. it was paul who helped us to
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: understand the organogram of the satanic kingdom he said we
- 1:38:35Speaker 1: wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and
- 1:38:39Speaker 1: powers and rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in heavenly
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: places He begins to arrange them. When Jesus came and
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: met the madman in Gadara, he said, what is your name?
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: And he said, I am legion for we are many.
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: Satan has an organized satanic kingdom. He launches his arsenals
- 1:39:00Speaker 1: against the saints, not carelessly. In fact, the weapons that
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: come to the believer are fashioned. It says no weapon fashioned.
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: Do you know what it means to fashion? Most of
- 1:39:12Speaker 1: you fabricate things around the East here. To fashion a
- 1:39:15Speaker 1: thing is that you must design it to fit. If
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: you are designing a cupboard, you must calibrate everywhere, make
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: sure that it will fit the space given. So Satan
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: looks at your life. You are the one rising. And
- 1:39:31Speaker 1: from your rising, 30 people in your family will rise.
- 1:39:34Speaker 1: So a weapon is fashioned against you. You are the
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: preacher that is standing for righteousness. And if you go down,
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: with you will go 1,000 people. So instead of Satan
- 1:39:47Speaker 1: attacking the 1,000 people, he would rather attack the one
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: who is helping the 1,000 people to stand. Weapons are fashioned.
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: If you do not know Satan, you will fall into
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: many pits. In the life of every believer, the temptation
- 1:40:05Speaker 1: that happened to Jesus will happen to every believer.
- 1:40:08Speaker 3: Every.
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: Provided you are on earth. The temptation that Satan brought
- 1:40:14Speaker 1: to Jesus will come to you. Temptation number one was
- 1:40:18Speaker 1: a temptation of individualism. Turning the power of God to
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: use it for selfish gain. Turn this stone to bread.
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: Turn these members to your profit. Focus on your stomach.
- 1:40:33Speaker 1: Utilize the spiritual resources you have been given. And manipulate
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: people to feed your stomach. And Jesus resisted that temptation.
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: The second temptation will come to you in the area
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: of your spirituality. Took him to a holy mountain. And
- 1:40:50Speaker 1: he said fall down. That one will wait for you
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: till you become a champion in the spirit. Satan will
- 1:40:56Speaker 1: not bring that temptation when you are starting. Until men
- 1:40:59Speaker 1: look up to you for an inspiration. Where your life
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: is the reason why their prayer life has remained. Every
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: time they are discouraged, God will use your face. And
- 1:41:09Speaker 1: Satan will say, if I bring this man of God
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: down in Asaba. Using whatever weapon. It will deal a
- 1:41:16Speaker 1: great blow to the church. Then he will bring that temptation.
- 1:41:21Speaker 1: The second temptation is a temptation of spiritual champions. Be complacent.
- 1:41:26Speaker 1: Fall down. After all, he will put his angels charge
- 1:41:30Speaker 1: over you. The temptation of compromise. fruit in the kingdom
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: you must discipline yourself to build a systemic prayer life
- 1:42:49Speaker 1: write it down please the first key to bearing fruit
- 1:42:55Speaker 1: in the kingdom is the discipline to build a systemic
- 1:43:00Speaker 1: prayer life i didn't say pray if you only pray
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: you will not be powerful you must build a systemic
- 1:43:09Speaker 1: prayer life The apostolic model that was given to the
- 1:43:13Speaker 1: church was that they had a time called the hour
- 1:43:17Speaker 1: of prayer. That was the time that Peter and John
- 1:43:22Speaker 1: went to pray. That they met the man at Gate Beautiful.
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: Can I tell you, there is no gift of prayer.
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: There is the spirit of prayer and supplication that helps men.
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: The spirit generally helpeth our infirmity. But I want you
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: to know that prayer is labeled in the spirit. No
- 1:43:41Speaker 1: matter how gifted you are, prayer is not easy for
- 1:43:44Speaker 1: any serious person. It is discipline to pray. 1 Thessalonians 5.17
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: Pray without ceasing. Pray without ceasing. Luke 18 and verse 1.
- 1:43:58Speaker 1: He speak a parable to the end. That men ought
- 1:44:00Speaker 1: always to pray. And not to faint. Mark 11 24.
- 1:44:06Speaker 1: Whatsoever things ye desire. When ye pray. Believe that thou
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: receivest them. And thou shall have them. James 5 13.
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: Is any man afflicted. Let him pray. Ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: When you build a systemic prayer life, this is the
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: apostolic model for growth, maturity, and fruit bearing. Show me
- 1:44:35Speaker 1: a believer who submits himself to praying. I show you
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: a believer who will attain unto maturity. There's no time
- 1:44:43Speaker 1: to teach on prayer, but I need to tell you this.
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: What makes your prayer powerful is not just the energy
- 1:44:49Speaker 1: that is dissipated. Your prayer must be fervent and it
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: must be heartfelt. It says the fervent effectual. What makes
- 1:44:58Speaker 1: your prayer fervent is that your heart is involved. But
- 1:45:02Speaker 1: what makes your prayer effectual is the word compliancy. Of
- 1:45:06Speaker 1: your prayer. If you are not praying by the scriptures.
- 1:45:11Speaker 1: You are praying amiss.
- 1:45:13Speaker 3: Again.
- 1:45:13Speaker 1: If you are not praying by the scripture. You pray
- 1:45:17Speaker 1: by sentiments. You are praying amiss. You may be praying fervently.
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: But you are not praying effectually. What makes your prayer effectual.
- 1:45:27Speaker 1: Is the word compliancy. Of your prayer. Secret number one.
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: To bear fruit. You must build by discipline and grace.
- 1:45:39Speaker 1: A systemic prayer life. No matter how busy I am.
- 1:45:44Speaker 1: There is no excuse to be prayerless. Are we together?
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: No matter how busy I am. I've already settled the
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: prayer for this meeting now. And the evening meeting. As
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: I return back to rest. The balance of it will
- 1:46:01Speaker 1: now be there. You see. If you don't pray, truly,
- 1:46:06Speaker 1: you will not be powerful. I can tell you, just
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: believe it. I'm not just talking of need-giving prayer. Genuine prayer.
- 1:46:17Speaker 1: You wake up when others are sleeping and reprogram the
- 1:46:21Speaker 1: spiritual climate around your life. I'm praying for anyone here
- 1:46:25Speaker 1: whose prayer life has gone down. In the name of Jesus,
- 1:46:28Speaker 1: the son of the living God, let it be fanned
- 1:46:31Speaker 1: back to flames now. Number two. The second secret to
- 1:46:37Speaker 1: bearing fruit. The second secret to bearing fruit. Is that
- 1:46:44Speaker 1: you must build your life. On the word of God.
- 1:46:48Speaker 1: Matthew 4.4 Man shall not live by bread alone. But
- 1:46:53Speaker 1: by every word that proceeded from the mouth of God.
- 1:46:56Speaker 1: You must build your life. Live by the word of God.
- 1:47:01Speaker 1: Build your life. Live by the word of God. If
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: you take away the word of God out of your life,
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: you will not excel. You will not excel. Listen, there
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: are three ways to grow in the word. Number one, study. Study. Study.
- 1:47:23Speaker 1: Read your Bible and study your Bible. Number two, listening.
- 1:47:29Speaker 1: Listen to scripture. Listen to scripture. Thanks to the advantage
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: of technology. What is written today. Was first. The ears
- 1:47:39Speaker 1: of people. Holy men wrote. As they were inspired. Study scripture.
- 1:47:46Speaker 1: Listen to scripture. Number three. Speak scripture. Speak scripture. Study scripture.
- 1:47:54Speaker 1: Speak scripture. Don't forget this. Study scripture. Speak scripture. Study scripture.
- 1:48:06Speaker 1: Speak scripture. Isaiah chapter 8 and verse 20. Isaiah 8 20.
- 1:48:12Speaker 1: Let me show you one scripture. I'd like us to read.
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: One to read please. To the law and to the
- 1:48:21Speaker 1: testimony if they speak not according to this word it
- 1:48:26Speaker 1: is because there is no light in them. When a
- 1:48:31Speaker 1: believer carries light there is a way you speak. And
- 1:48:34Speaker 1: there is a way if you do not speak it
- 1:48:37Speaker 1: is because there is no light in you. The three
- 1:48:40Speaker 1: ways we maximize the ministry of the word. Is to
- 1:48:43Speaker 1: study the word. Is to listen to the word. Get it.
- 1:48:49Speaker 1: Internalize it into your spirit. And then to speak the word. Hallelujah.
- 1:48:54Speaker 1: You want to bear fruit? Number one. Build a systemic
- 1:48:59Speaker 1: prayer life. Number two. Invest in scripture. By studying.
- 1:49:05Speaker 4: By listening.
- 1:49:07Speaker 1: By listening. By learning. Get teaching on MP3. There are
- 1:49:12Speaker 1: Bibles on MP3. The work has already been done. You
- 1:49:17Speaker 1: go on the internet. There are audio visuals on healing.
- 1:49:21Speaker 1: There are audio visuals on who you are in Christ.
- 1:49:24Speaker 1: There are people who have paid the price. There are
- 1:49:26Speaker 1: the words of Jesus. Do you know that using the
- 1:49:30Speaker 1: power of audio, you can listen to a whole chapter
- 1:49:33Speaker 1: in 10 minutes? There are books that are shot in
- 1:49:36Speaker 1: 10 minutes. You always will not have the time because
- 1:49:39Speaker 1: of our busy world today. You always will not have
- 1:49:42Speaker 1: the time to spend 2 hours, 3 hours every day. No,
- 1:49:46Speaker 1: you will not have that time. That is the truth.
- 1:49:50Speaker 1: Responsibility beckons on you. You have to create a system.
- 1:49:54Speaker 1: You can wake up in the morning and an atmosphere
- 1:49:56Speaker 1: of worship is playing like this. And then you have scripture.
- 1:50:00Speaker 1: In 10 minutes, something has entered your spirit. And then
- 1:50:06Speaker 1: number three. The third secret to bearing fruit is that
- 1:50:11Speaker 1: you must contend for genuine spiritual empowerment. That's what we'll
- 1:50:16Speaker 1: be coming to receive in the night. Contend for genuine
- 1:50:20Speaker 1: spiritual empowerment. If you are not empowered... you will not
- 1:50:25Speaker 1: bear fruit. If you are not empowered, you will not
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: bear fruit. I'll stop here so that we'll pray. I've
- 1:50:38Speaker 1: taught you two things this afternoon. Number one, reminding you
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: that the journey of the believer ends up in glory
- 1:50:47Speaker 1: and that not every kind of spiritual knowledge is useful
- 1:50:53Speaker 1: for your building, your rising, your excelling in the spirit.
- 1:50:58Speaker 1: And that among the many kinds of spiritual knowledge you
- 1:51:01Speaker 1: need to learn, there are five of them that I've
- 1:51:03Speaker 1: revealed to you. Fundamental, foundational spiritual truths that you must
- 1:51:10Speaker 1: know if you want to become a believer of stature.
- 1:51:14Speaker 1: And now I have in summary taught you That to
- 1:51:18Speaker 1: bear fruit in the spirit. Because God desires our bearing fruit.
- 1:51:23Speaker 1: It is in our bearing fruit that we demonstrate that
- 1:51:26Speaker 1: we are his disciples. There are two ways according to
- 1:51:29Speaker 1: scripture to show that we are his disciples. One, when
- 1:51:32Speaker 1: we love one another. Two, when we bear fruit. One,
- 1:51:38Speaker 1: when we love one another. You may want to write that.
- 1:51:41Speaker 1: The two biblical indices... That you are the disciple of Jesus...
- 1:51:46Speaker 1: Is that one... You have love for one another... As
- 1:51:50Speaker 1: you love God... And number two... That you bear fruit.
- 1:51:55Speaker 1: And that for that fruit bearing to happen in your life...
- 1:51:59Speaker 1: You must... Number one... Create by discipline and grace... A
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: systemic prayer life... Pray every day... Pray always... Pray without ceasing.
- 1:52:12Speaker 1: Give time to pray for edification according to Luke 9 29.
- 1:52:18Speaker 1: Evolve into a stronger, more powerful, wiser, more spiritual, more discerning,
- 1:52:24Speaker 1: more energetic you in the spirit. And then submit yourself
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: to the ministry of the word. According to Acts 6
- 1:52:34Speaker 1: and verse 4. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer.
- 1:52:38Speaker 1: And to the ministry of the word. By studying to
- 1:52:42Speaker 1: show yourself approved. By listening to gain understanding. And by speaking.
- 1:52:49Speaker 1: Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Let the
- 1:52:52Speaker 1: lifted of the Lord say so. Let the blessed of
- 1:52:55Speaker 1: the Lord say so. And then of course finally. Contend
- 1:52:59Speaker 1: for spiritual empowerment. Tonight we are coming. To finish up
- 1:53:04Speaker 1: the discussion that we started. And then I will connect
- 1:53:07Speaker 1: this discussion to your theme. I will show you how
- 1:53:10Speaker 1: all of these revelations. Culminate to walking in open doors. Hallelujah.
- 1:53:17Speaker 1: Can we pray for two minutes? Our time is stretched.
- 1:53:20Speaker 1: Please stand. I want you for this prayer session. May
- 1:53:25Speaker 1: I request. Please pair yourselves into three. We're going to pray.
- 1:53:30Speaker 1: If you can't find three people, just look for two people.
- 1:53:33Speaker 1: Two or three, but no one alone. Two or three.
- 1:53:39Speaker 12: Elohim Adonai Elohim Adonai Elohim Adonai.
- 1:53:58Speaker 1: Come on, sing it. Your Elohim Adonai.
- 1:54:07Speaker 4: Hallelujah.
- 1:54:10Speaker 1: Now, you are holding the hand of your neighbor because
- 1:54:12Speaker 1: it is a mystery. The Bible says, if any two
- 1:54:14Speaker 1: shall agree as touching anything, it shall be established unto them.
- 1:54:18Speaker 1: The first prayer point is that I want you to
- 1:54:20Speaker 1: take a minute to intercede over your neighbor. And say, Father,
- 1:54:24Speaker 1: weakness in the spirit. Let it be swallowed up by strength.
- 1:54:27Speaker 1: Go ahead and pray. Weakness in the spirit. Weakness that
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: reflects as carnality. Weakness that reflects itself as bankruptcy of understanding.
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: Weakness that reflects itself as lack of zeal for the
- 1:54:46Speaker 1: things of God. Come on Asaba. I expect people to
- 1:54:49Speaker 1: be praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It's time
- 1:55:04Speaker 1: for mighty men to rise. It's time for strong men
- 1:55:07Speaker 1: to rise. From in gathering global. It's time for strong
- 1:55:11Speaker 1: men to rise. From Asaba here. In the name of
- 1:55:14Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Man of the spirit. Man of power. Man
- 1:55:19Speaker 1: of grace. Man of fire. Go ahead and pray. every weakness,
- 1:55:26Speaker 1: every limitation in the spirit, every encumbrance, every weight, the
- 1:55:32Speaker 1: sin that don't easily beset my neighbor, my friend, my
- 1:55:36Speaker 1: prayer partner. Lord, let it be swallowed up. Go ahead
- 1:55:40Speaker 1: and pray. Are there people of prayer here? It's time
- 1:55:57Speaker 1: to be spiritual. It's time to soar like the eagles.
- 1:56:01Speaker 1: Time to soar like the eagles. The days of spiritual carelessness.
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: I worked out that sleepless. Spiritual slumber. It's time for
- 1:56:11Speaker 1: you to give way. You need to evolve into a....
- 1:56:18Speaker 4: A prayer for you.
- 1:56:20Speaker 1: A word for you. A character for you. the last
- 1:56:34Speaker 1: prayer 9 and.
- 1:56:37Speaker 11: Verse 8 very profound scripture And God, he says, we
- 1:57:05Speaker 11: usually use this scripture for offerings.
- 1:57:07Speaker 1: And it is applicable there. But the essence of it
- 1:57:11Speaker 1: is beyond offering. The Bible says God is able to
- 1:57:14Speaker 1: make all grace. Say all grace. Every possibility in the
- 1:57:20Speaker 1: kingdom has a grace dimension connected to it. Giving has
- 1:57:24Speaker 1: a grace. Healing has a grace. Restoration is connected to
- 1:57:35Speaker 1: a grace. That is going to be your prayer. All grace. Father,
- 1:57:39Speaker 1: whatever dimension of grace that is needed for the next
- 1:57:43Speaker 1: prophetic season of my life, may it be released. Abound
- 1:57:53Speaker 1: towards me. Someone is praying.
- 1:57:57Speaker 4: There is a grace to pray.
- 1:57:59Speaker 1: There is a grace to fast. There is a grace
- 1:58:02Speaker 1: to give. There is a grace to love God. There
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: is a grace to pray.
- 1:58:07Speaker 3: I say it again. There is a grace.
- 1:58:10Speaker 1: To study and understand scripture. There is a grace to
- 1:58:13Speaker 1: love man. There is a grace to be disciplined. There
- 1:58:17Speaker 1: is a grace to be diligent. God is able to.
- 1:58:20Speaker 5: Make all grace.
- 1:58:21Speaker 1: There is a grace to do exploits in your field
- 1:58:25Speaker 1: of endeavor, in business, All grace, all grace, all grace.
- 1:58:30Speaker 1: This is our final prayer. All grace. Lord, let all
- 1:58:44Speaker 1: grace be made available in my life. Every dimension of grace.
- 1:58:49Speaker 1: Bring him power. Bring him wisdom. Bring him efficiency to
- 1:58:57Speaker 1: my spirit walk. For in Jesus' mighty name we pray.
- 1:59:15Speaker 1: Let me speak over your life.
- 1:59:18Speaker 3: Psalm 1.
- 1:59:20Speaker 1: From verse 1 to 3. We are wrapping up. Blessed
- 1:59:24Speaker 1: is the man that walketh not in the counsel of
- 1:59:27Speaker 1: the ungodly. Nor standeth in the way of sinners. Nor
- 1:59:31Speaker 1: sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Verse 2 says.
- 1:59:35Speaker 1: But his delight is in the law of the Lord.
- 1:59:38Speaker 1: And on that Lord doth he meditate day and night.
- 1:59:42Speaker 1: My prophetic word for you is in verse 3. he
- 1:59:45Speaker 1: shall be like a tree that is planted by the
- 1:59:50Speaker 1: rivers of waters that bring forth fruit in season from
- 1:59:56Speaker 1: today everything that has made you buried in the spirit
- 2:00:01Speaker 1: barring in finances barring in influence barring in ministry by
- 2:00:06Speaker 1: the power that raised christ from the dead i bring
- 2:00:09Speaker 1: you to a level of fruitfulness in the spirit I
- 2:00:13Speaker 1: bring you to a level of fruitfulness in the spirit.
- 2:00:17Speaker 1: Can I tell you, by the privilege of God's grace,
- 2:00:22Speaker 1: there is nothing today that God has granted grace to
- 2:00:26Speaker 1: put our hands to do that has not worked. There
- 2:00:30Speaker 1: is a grace that brings you to a ramp. Where
- 2:00:33Speaker 1: whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. I pray for you. Where
- 2:00:38Speaker 1: you have failed. As a result of this prophetic and
- 2:00:42Speaker 1: apostolic conference. I'm placing an unction upon your head. Go
- 2:00:46Speaker 1: and succeed. Go and succeed. Let it be clear that
- 2:00:52Speaker 1: Ebenezer has come to help you. In the name of
- 2:00:56Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. I feel scared to do this even though
- 2:01:03Speaker 1: we'll be praying in the evening. I feel scared to
- 2:01:05Speaker 1: speak over your finances. If you don't believe it, you
- 2:01:08Speaker 1: can put down your hand and sit down. But listen, listen.
- 2:01:13Speaker 1: Believe me when I tell you, God can help men financially.
- 2:01:18Speaker 1: Many of you here, you want to serve God. But
- 2:01:21Speaker 1: the cancer that is eating up your life is this
- 2:01:24Speaker 1: finance thing. Is a strategy that has been one of
- 2:01:28Speaker 1: the most effective strategy. In the kingdom of darkness to
- 2:01:32Speaker 1: distract the saints. I vowed a vow before God. That
- 2:01:38Speaker 1: I will never manipulate anybody in ministry for money. I
- 2:01:43Speaker 1: vowed a vow before God. That by his grace I
- 2:01:46Speaker 1: will work in financial integrity in ministry. I have seen
- 2:01:51Speaker 1: the disadvantage of not having financial resources. And I've seen
- 2:01:55Speaker 1: the ease that comes to your life when you are
- 2:01:58Speaker 1: marvelously helped of God. And when this happened to me,
- 2:02:02Speaker 1: I made up my mind that everywhere I have the
- 2:02:06Speaker 1: opportunity to go and pray, it is part of my
- 2:02:09Speaker 1: apostolic mandate to release this grace, even in this area
- 2:02:14Speaker 1: of supplies. It's not just about money. What you need
- 2:02:17Speaker 1: truly is the help of God. There are many of you,
- 2:02:20Speaker 1: if God sorts you out financially, that's when you will
- 2:02:24Speaker 1: know that you have a lot of time. Most of
- 2:02:26Speaker 1: your time is going on serving mammon. It's the reason
- 2:02:29Speaker 1: why you cannot serve God acceptably. I'm praying for you.
- 2:02:33Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus. The God that helps men.
- 2:02:38Speaker 1: The God that helps ministries. The God that helps men
- 2:02:42Speaker 1: of God. The God that helps business men. Bringing them
- 2:02:46Speaker 1: out of financial shame. Bringing them out of calamities. The
- 2:02:51Speaker 1: one who helped this man you see standing before you.
- 2:02:54Speaker 1: I call upon my God. Because you have believed. In
- 2:02:58Speaker 1: the name of Jesus. Let the power to prosper. Rest
- 2:03:02Speaker 1: upon your head. Let the power to prosper. Rest upon
- 2:03:09Speaker 1: your head. In the name of Jesus. God knows that
- 2:03:20Speaker 1: when you love him, money has no effect on you.
- 2:03:24Speaker 1: Materialism is not having materials. It's the influence of material
- 2:03:29Speaker 1: resources on the position of God in your life. You
- 2:03:32Speaker 1: can be poor and still be materialistic. The moment Jesus
- 2:03:36Speaker 1: is not the most exalted in your life, it is materialism.
- 2:03:41Speaker 1: When we talk about wealth and prosperity, we are not
- 2:03:44Speaker 1: advocating carnality and lust. A desire for material things as
- 2:03:49Speaker 1: against your passion for Jesus. But that these are the tools.
- 2:03:55Speaker 1: One of the six benefits. According to Psalm 102. Is
- 2:04:00Speaker 1: that he satisfied your mouth with good things. This is God.
- 2:04:05Speaker 1: It is one of his benefits. Except it is not
- 2:04:07Speaker 1: the God of the Bible. He forgives your sins. He
- 2:04:10Speaker 1: heals your diseases. He delivers you. He crowns you with
- 2:04:14Speaker 1: glory and loving kindness. He satisfies your mouth with good things.
- 2:04:19Speaker 1: So that your strength is renewed like your youth. He says,
- 2:04:23Speaker 1: satisfy me early with your goodness. I'm praying again. For
- 2:04:28Speaker 1: someone before evening. I don't know how God will do it.
- 2:04:31Speaker 1: You may not see wind. You may not see rain.
- 2:04:34Speaker 1: But I call upon the God of my covenant. May
- 2:04:37Speaker 1: someone rise by God and surprise you financially. In the
- 2:04:45Speaker 1: name of Jesus, the son of the living God. Amen
- 2:04:49Speaker 1: and amen. So for those of you who are here.
- 2:04:52Speaker 1: And those of you who are watching by way of internet.
- 2:04:55Speaker 1: A few hours after now. We are beginning the miracle
- 2:04:58Speaker 1: service in the evening. It will be an extraordinary moment
- 2:05:02Speaker 1: with the spirit. It's not only a miracle service. It's
- 2:05:04Speaker 1: a miracle and impartation service. Come with your heart open.
- 2:05:09Speaker 1: Finally the grace needed for your destiny will land on you.
- 2:05:13Speaker 1: And you will be turned like Saul into another man.
- 2:05:17Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ. Wave your hands and
- 2:05:19Speaker 1: give Jesus praise.
- 2:05:25Speaker 3: Thank you.
