  Speaker 1: Apostle Femi Lazarus is a man raised by God to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: demonstrate his wisdom and authority to the last day church.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: He is the lead pastor of Sphere of Light Church
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and God told him years ago that a time will
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: come where my wisdom will be needed to navigate tough
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: times in the body of Christ.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Then I will.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Cause your voice to be heard and all who pay
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: attention to my word on your lips will not lack
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: light and direction. He is a man sent from God,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: sent to raise God's end time armies. With Apostle Fermi Lazarus,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: every minute counts as you listen attentively.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I'm going to teach you quickly and we're going to pray.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: We're going to spend time praying on gaining mastery. Gaining mastery.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Gaining mastery. Gaining mastery. So let's turn our Bibles quickly
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: to the book of 1 Corinthians chapter number 9 verse 25.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: 1 Corinthians 9 verse 25. So we're going to read
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: this down to 27, which is the final verse. Alright,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: we're going to read it. Let's start. Every man and
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: every man that strived for mastery, or for the mastery,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: is temperate in all things. Now they do it to
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: obtain a corruptible crown, but we are incorruptible.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: 26.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I therefore so run, not as uncertainly so fight high,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: not as one that beated the hair. But I keep
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: under my body and bring it into subjection, lest by
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: any means, when I have preached to others, I myself
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: should be cast away. So this is a very interesting scripture.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Let's go back to 25. Now Paul speaking. He said,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: every man That strives for the mastery. And it's anyone
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: that strives to become the best at what they do. Alright?
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Everyone that strives to become a champion. I don't want
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: to use the word champion. Because it's not a competition.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: Alright?
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Says that they are temperate in all things. The word
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: temperate there means they are disciplined. Disciplined. So what the
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Bible is saying is that what you are striving for,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: we should know it by looking at the regulations around
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: your life. If I hang around you for a week,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: I can know if your vision is a lie or true.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: You can't say, no, no, it's in my mind. It's
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: going to reflect in your lifestyle. It's going to reflect
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: in your time management. It's going to reflect in your activities.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: For instance, you can't be a purposeful person.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: And live each day as it comes.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Every day is going to be a part of a
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: major channel. Do you understand what I'm saying? It means
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: the energy of each day is agreeing with something your
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: life is standing for at the end of the day. So,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: you fulfill a part of your vision daily. Even in
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: the moment that you are down because you can't see progress,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: convert those moments to learning for future. No matter how
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: great you are, there will be days you don't feel
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: you are great. And I also go through that. Sometimes
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I tell my wife, I say, I don't feel things
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: are working. I'm not going to tell you like, I
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: always feel everything. I say, hmm, I don't feel things
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: are fine. I think the most common one is when
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I tell I don't feel I'm doing enough. I can
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: count number of things we are doing. What you want
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: to do. I don't just feel like, but it's a feeling.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Have you slept before and not feel like waking up? Huh?
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Did you die?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: You woke up.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: It was a feeling.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: True or not true? Who can give me another example?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: There are things you feel.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: But the idea is that you don't allow feelings to
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: make the best out of you.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Do you understand what I'm saying? In fact, if you
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: are going to go far, you must master that feeling.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Do you understand? Because people make the wrong decisions of
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: their destiny in those moments. Jesus also went through it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: And the Bible did not excuse the fact that he
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: went through. And that's my template. The Bible told us
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: of the days he was hungry. The days he was sorrowful.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: The days he was hungry. And he flogged people. Amen.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: He flogged them out of the temple.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Amen. I'm not saying pastors not begin to flock, but
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: whatever was the rule then, he didn't break it. Okay?
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: But while he was about to die, he said, my
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: soul is sorrowful unto death. Peter, James, and John came.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: They met him in the Garden of God. He was down.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: But we saw what he did while he was down.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: He prayed.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: But it was not one prayer. There was not one moment.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: He kept watching. He said, I can't even watch for
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: at least an hour. And one of the ways you
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: know strong people is what they do when things are
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: not fine. Not what they do when things are fine.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: A man who can maintain a routine at the lowest
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: moment of his life is a strong man. All these
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: things you are doing, see, let me say this to you.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: It is not like trials and tribulations may come.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: It will come.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Somehow, at some point, the quality of our building will
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: be tested. Let me announce to you that hey, Jesus
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: did not promise you that you will not face tribulation.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: You will. There are things that happen sometimes and your
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: heart is pierced But what structure is he meeting on ground?
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Because the storm, the wind, and the rain must meet something.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: So what happens to people is not about the unique storm.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: It's about the structure the storm met. Hmm?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: When you ask a sister out and she gives you
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: a no, is it a storm?
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: True or not true? It's a storm. Particularly if you
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: have somebody who is prominent in church. And each time
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: you hold the mic, she sees you. As you lead song,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: she's also singing. You feel like dropping the mic and
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: just leave church. No, you stay. True? You are dating
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: somebody in church. I'd like to use practical examples. Both
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: of you have gone separate ways. But you still have
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: to do your duties. That's a stump. Don't excuse and
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: say it's not a system. I've received no before and
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: it was not pleasant. I felt like blocking this lady.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Because you are the one who was chatting me up.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Don't break me again.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: I did not block. You guys see. I'm going to
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: come to church again. All these pastors are sticking their heads.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I'm not even hearing. I would like to say no.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: She didn't even say no to me. She tried to
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: go and tell my friend.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: You won't believe it.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Stay. Stay. What structure did the no meet on ground?
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: If it meets no self-esteem, you will think you are nobody.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: In fact, you must mature to the point where no
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: matter how anyone treats you, you have good self-awareness, good self-consciousness.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: It's not pride. You don't need validation from anyone about
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: how you look, how intelligent you are, how smart you
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: are and all that. I think that's one of my
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: core strengths. I don't need validation. That's what I'm hearing.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Because it's Hosanna today, crucify him tomorrow. So, either one
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: that comes, let's know this is what we are dealing with.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: You understand what I'm saying? For the past three years,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I've read maybe less than ten birthday messages he knows
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: not because the words of the people they mean so
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: much to me and I appreciate them hey but I
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: want to be sure what you are thanking and appreciating
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: me for is because I cooperate with a weakness If
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: I do my job, it may not be pleasant. The
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: same way a doctor may have to administer to a
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: patient and the procedures are not nice. So I check.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Why am I being praised? Why am I being celebrated?
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: So if I don't see it, I just do what
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: I do. You don't need validation from anyone. You are smart.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: You are intelligent. You are beautiful. You are handsome. You
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: are spirit-filled. All you need is a revelation of who
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Christ has made you to be.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: That's okay.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: When things come, you just survive it. Church, are you
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: following what I'm saying? Now we are going very far.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: But I want us to pray also. I'm trusting God
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: to help me and I have a time I need
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: to round up. So I can release you. Every man,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: no matter who you are, male, female, tall, short and
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: all that, that strives for the mastery is temperate. That
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: is what you are striving for. To condition you. To
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: compel you. So how do you know the areas of
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: your conditioning? Go and check those who are already doing it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: If you will do like that or more than that,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: you can't miss the lifestyle. If what you are doing,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: the lifestyle you are doing is opposite of those that
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: are in those fields, particularly in Christianity, and you think
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: by one means you can escape it, it's a lie
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: and it's a trap. Certain things I found out are
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: core course So when I list my core course, I
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: cannot categorize doing them as sacrifice. I have to make
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: sure they are lifestyles. Prayer is a core course. And
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: prayer taught me that I don't have to be eloquent.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Once I can speak with God, no matter how limited
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: I am in communicating with men, God's flesh is stopped.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: The secret of great mercy is not the English. It's
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: the power behind it. That's what peace is. I'm not
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: excusing communication blunders. But I'm saying that the real power
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: is prayer. So I saw that those who are doing
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: the things I'm trusting God for and where I'm going,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: they are men of prayer. Number two, I saw they
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: are men of fasting The Bible says, Woe to the
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: land when the king is a child. Your princes and
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: nobles wake up to heat early in the morning.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Kings don't heat for fun. They heat for strength.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: So what you are striving for compels you. Don't just
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: say amen. There is a lifestyle that is required to
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: power it. And see, each time people rebuke and say
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: things against the church, insult the church and all that,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: I like to sit down and study. I'm not quick
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: to criticize. And I'm not quick to defend anybody. What
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I want to see is, what has the scripture said
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: about this? Something happened recently, Reverend Sam Ademi spoke. And
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: he said, he spoke about the time that Nigeria overtook
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: India in becoming the poverty capital of the world. And
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: he said something about us reviewing our prosperity curriculum. Now,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: I loved that statement because I have burdens in that area. Somehow,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: we either have people who believe prosperity is just a
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: miracle or and no work, no hard work, no mastery,
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: or those who believe it's hard work, there's no divine intervention.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: It must stand on the two legs. You walk, God
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: bless it. Because sometimes when those things come, people begin
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: to insult the church. You don't throw the baby and
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: the bad water away. Yes, there's something we are missing.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean what we are doing is wrong altogether.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: But there's something we've not gotten. So most times I
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: see that doors open for criticism because we have missed
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: the body of truth. We can pray and say amen
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: and fast from now till next year. And people didn't
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: shift levels because we've only dealt with an aspect. Now
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: there is divine grace released. What should that grace bless?
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm saying here? Do you understand
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying here? Do you understand me? So you
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: must be willing to pay the price that is required
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: in the field, in your calling. You must see to
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: it that you fulfill your calling. You must see to it.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: And I want to say this, and it's something that
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: bothers me. God did not by design make anyone small
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: and another person great. Not by design. God did not
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: by design say that Anabasi is going to be great
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: minister of music and then this one will be somebody
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: who's just doing local church. God did not. Anyone who
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: purges himself from this becomes this. Here you are or
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: here are you and then these are requirements. Who can
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: pass the requirement and get this? If 20 people pass it,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: there's plenty room. So never you think that because somebody
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: has become something that that's all.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: That's not all. And I called our pastors. I shared
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: with them.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: I remember sharing a video also by Pastor Chris with
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: the pastors. Because he was asking, why is it that
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: many people sit under the same teaching in church? Same pastor,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: same teaching, same time. But what they become is different.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: And he said, this is the simple answer. Some are
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: listening well. Some are not listening well. That sounds too simple,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: but that's true. And I'm going to show you the
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: reason why many people don't come out and become. Because
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: sometimes the body of truth makes wrong things. And there's conflict.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Now let's continue.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: So when you.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Strive for mastery, you are temperate in all things. You
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: begin to cut down. You start cutting down because you
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: don't want to carry too much weight. You cut down
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: on excesses, excess this, excess that, excess media, excess movies,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: excess gisting, excess that. Because you discover that now, before,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: you were okay with them. You could watch Netflix series
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: and finish a whole series in a day. Say it's
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Netflix and chill weekend. But as you start growing up,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: you should begin to lose your peace if you stay
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: longer in an area that is not your calling. You
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: should start noticing the promptings of the Spirit. Start noticing
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: the things you are doing and the Holy Ghost is grieved.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm saying? You start observing. In
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: the name that is above all names, none amongst you
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: will be left behind. Now that amen is lazy. It's
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: still lazy. no one amongst you will become small no
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: one amongst you will fail now sit down i'm not
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: going to teach normal teaching and all that i'm going
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: to give you some secrets.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Like i said this is not this is a meeting
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: where i'm going to instruct.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: You so you observe that the moment paul spoke about
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: mastery it.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Began to highlight in grances do you notice.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Just went on simply. Look at it. Go back to
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: that scripture. Every man that strives for mastery is championing
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: but we are incorruptible. Verse 26 now. Quickly. I therefore
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: so run, not as uncertainly, so fight I, not as
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: one that beats the hair. Verse 27. But I keep
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: under my body and bring it into subjection. So it
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: began to enlighten. I know the major enemy of mastery
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: is my body. Once he mentioned mastery, he knew and
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: he brought it out the enemy of mastery is your
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: body so when he said i fight not as one
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: that beats there he's not talking about fighting demons he's
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: talking about buffeting can you give me the scripture that
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: used the word blow for this verse 27 is it
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: amplified now.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Tidal blows to my body.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I buffet my body. Oh yes, thank you. But I,
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: like a boxer, I buffet my body. I'll do it roughly.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Discipline it by hardships. And subdue it. While I was
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: on campus. Buying books, buying study material. Hey, that's you
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: and your body roughly. Because you will suffer and be...
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: It's not a joke. You must have scar for the
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: things you claim to be running for. Listen to this.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: You can't treat this body with delicateness and image. It's
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: going to go to... When we give face with our bodies,
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: feel it.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: It's not pleasant.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: It's not pleasant. Ask my wife. Sometimes God gives me instructions.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: And the first thing I do is to cry. I'm
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: not talking about last year and all that. Where do
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: I start from? Say like a boxer, I buffet my body.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: I don't do it roughly. Discipline by hardship and subdue it.
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: I tame it.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: For the fear that after proclaiming to others the gospel
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: and the things pertaining.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: To it, I myself shall become unfit.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Not stand the test, being unapproved and rejected as counterfeit.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: This will all happen when you preach a subject matter
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: but the reality is not in your life.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: It means you are not doing it. That's the truth.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Let's chew this bitter pill now.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: If you do it, you will see the result you
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: are preaching about. At every level. Do you understand what
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: I'm saying? There's another translation. I blew my body. Let
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: me read from different translations here. Look at it.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: God's word translation. God's word translation. Okay, I love this.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: This is NIV.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: So I beat my body and make it my slave.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: God's word translation says, I rather I toughen my body
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: with punches and make it my slave so I'll not
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: be disqualified. Okay, so I've trained in boxing for a
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: while and I think I can still do something. You
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: don't want to try me. When God gives you instruction
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: that is not pleasant, That's an opportunity for this scripture
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: to be fulfilled.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Because no punch is pleasant. It means we will know
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: those who.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Emerge by looking at the tough restrictions and instructions they
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: have to obey.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it doesn't make sense.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Sometimes people come to me and when they speak to
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: the pastor in me, And I hear the instruction God
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: is giving them.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: The pastor in me wants to say, maybe you should
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: calm down.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: But I remember. This is what we also did. There's
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: no emotions around this. This is what we also did.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: And many times it's painful. But this is what I know.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm saying? How many of you
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: gym here? You've not obeyed your New Year resolution. I
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: saw many of you on New Year's. Oh, this year
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: I'm starting my gym by the grace of God. Papa
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Nut is going to stop me. Pufu has stopped you now. Oh,
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: he says PPC has stopped you. That's a lie. Okay,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: but you observe. If you have not gym for a while,
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: you do it again. You feel pains. You feel pains.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: But you must continue. You must continue. That same thing
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: will not be painful anymore. That's why I told you
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: in the morning prayer, ordinary Christians say, God send me
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: a helper. God tells the mature, become an helper at
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: your level. Because if he sends you a helper, you
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: are a beneficiary of the crumbs from the table of
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: the man at his level to take responsibility. If he
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: puts you where you begin to take responsibility, it means
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: you are entitled to the same allocation. Okay.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Let me leave that as if you didn't hear. Say
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: it again, I put my body under.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Say it again, I put my body under. I put
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: my emotions under. I put my body under. I subdue it.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: I subject it. I humble it. I deal with it.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: This is my number one enemy. I put it where
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: it belongs. I subject it. So I rise above the
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: limitations of my body to do the will of God.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: To execute his plan for my life on daily basis.
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: I shut it down.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: I rise to pray when it is convenient or not convenient.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: I fast when it is convenient or not convenient. I
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: give when it is convenient or not convenient. I study
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: even when I feel like sleeping. I sit down and
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: master it and study. The real life is in those
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: boring routines.
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: That's where the power is. Those boring practices.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: That moment when you are praying in tongues and you
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: don't feel edified, that's where real boxing is taking place.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Because at that point, yes, the Holy Ghost has not
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: taken over.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: But what is happening is that your flesh is trained
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: to subdue.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: To subject. That point that you don't feel like. When
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: things are so bad you want to pray and you
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: are dragging through it. Do I feel it? Yes. Sometimes
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: I just tell my wife, can I take a walk please?
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: And walk into the estate. Oh Lord. I come back
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: and it doesn't look like anything shifted. But that's still
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: a feeling. Because as we pray, something is happening. But
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: ye beloved, build up your most holy faith, praying in
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: the Holy Ghost. Can I give you a secret? Anyone
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: who does, who fail to master routine in tough times,
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: cannot survive destiny. Sit down. Say loud and clear, mastery.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Come on, say it again, mastery. Come on, say it again, mastery.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Say it again, mastery. Now, listen to this. If you notice...
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: That when you hear, let's pray in tongues, or pray
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: for one hour or two hours, each time you hear
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: something caught, it means prayer is not your lifestyle yet.
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: Hey, hey, hey, hey.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm saying? If I come to
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: you now, and I say, let's do two hours, it
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: means that prayer is not your lifestyle. You notice you
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: are praying, you are quick to change postures, you have
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: not mastered it. You have not.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Masquerade comes through repetition.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Repetition. In the military, you know what they do? They
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: ask you few forms. They check the things you are
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: afraid of. The things you don't like. Your phobia. So
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: they will make you master the area of your phobia.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Because you are not safe if the enemy knows your fears. Okay? Okay?
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: So you do it again. You're afraid of heights. You
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: do it again. You're afraid of prayer. When you hear prayer,
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: your system gets a bit destroyed. You are concerned. You
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: are confused. That's why you see in the morning prayer,
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: beyond just prophesying, I tell people, let's pray in tongues now.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: And I'm trusting God, maybe one of these days, PPC
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: will become two hours, so we can do first one
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: hour in tongues. No, see, when are they going to
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: say anything in between? Nothing in between. Who is going
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: to give us that? No, another prayer point. Because you see,
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: when they are giving prayer point, you are breathing. You
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: are standing still, getting, okay. Why are you recovering from prayer?
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: You don't need recovery policy from prayer continue praying pray
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: till your joy is full you got what i'm saying
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: pray pray look at anyone this parable jesus told them
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: to listen that men ought to pray and not to
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: faint I actually don't know how to pray short prayers.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: If we are going to pray, we want to pray.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: And the way you will know that you are in
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: trouble is from Thanksgiving. Oh, let's give God thanks. Father
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: will give you prayers. He's going to give you that
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: prayer now. Five minutes is gone now. The body is
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: the number one enemy of mastery. And the idea is
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: your flesh should not be bigger than your spirit. Don't
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: put a weak, defeated spirit under a fattened flesh. You
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: won't come out well like that. Galatians 5. Galatians 5.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Let's start reading from verse 16. Galatians 5. Can we
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: read this together? 1, 2, 3, go. Walk in the
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Yes,
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: 17 now. For the flesh lusts against the spirit and
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: the spirit against the flesh. And these are contrary, the
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: one to the other, so that ye cannot do the
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: things that you would. Are you seeing that?
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: The idea of the flesh is to make sure you
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: should not do the things you should do.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: That's the idea. I'm saying don't pamper it. You know,
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: I said something in church one time, and it's my lifestyle.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Maybe it just happened once. No, it's not once. It's
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: not once. I was about to give my tithe, and
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: I asked them to bring my bag. I can't remember
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: whether it was in dollars or naira. So I just packed.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: And I noticed that something within me revolted. Like, ah,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: hope you have not packed too much. Ah, for my
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: lord and king. All this money is gone. Pack everything
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: for me. Where? I have no business with anything that
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: competes with space for God in my heart. Do I
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: teach this in church? Maybe some may misunderstand me and
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: feel these are pastor strategies for offering or for tithe.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Nobody gives the size of my offering in this church.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying this to boast. I'm telling you I
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: do what I teach. Hmm? I want to do something,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: something revolts and say, eh, ah, Othipo Jews, too much, eh.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: That's it. I have no business with it. I have
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: no business with it. That thing has to die. Can
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: we read this scripture in message? Galatians 5, 17. Now
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: look at it. It says, for there is a root
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: of sinful self-interest in us. That is at odds with
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: a free spirit. Just as the free spirit is incompatible
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: with selfishness. The Holy Ghost is not compatible with selfishness. See,
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: let me tell you this. To really master this spiritual walk,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: you must master victory over flesh. See, you follow what
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: I'm saying? That is your number one fight. Me. The
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: problem is not the devil now. The problem is that
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: I have become susceptible. The devil has found me as
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: easy access. And I need to shut down his system.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: The problem is not demons. The problem is me. The
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: way I eat. The way I talk. The things I see.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: These two ways of life are antithetical. So that you
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: cannot live at times one way and at other times
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: another way according to how you feel on any given day.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: So you can't live according to how you feel. There
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: is a dictate. There is a dictate.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: You can't do it as you feel.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm saying? And that's why if
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: you must have a culture that will stand the test
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: of time, it must be clear. It must be clear.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: It must be evident. It can't be based on feelings.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Cancel that out. You can't say today I feel like praying.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Even that's why prayer is a good thing. But it
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: can't be based on feelings. You don't want to eat
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: because you feel like eating. You need food. You don't
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: have to feel like studying. Your routine compels you to
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: study You don't have to feel like doing what is right.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: The Holy Ghost through daily walk. Somebody say daily walk.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Come on, say it again. Daily walk.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Because the issue is this. This victory is daily. This
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: victory is daily. It's not at the end of the month.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: You cannot be a successful taita at the end of
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: the month if you fail at daily things. You can't.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: And one of the ways God tests your love is mammon.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Mammon is so deep. Women cannot test what I'm saying.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, with this ring, I wed you. So be my
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: love who wedded, blah, blah, blah, and all those things.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: You are, you own me, I own you, all those,
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: that's the summary. True. But how come people get married
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: and you hear this is my money? So I found
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: out that it's easier to even give the body than
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: the money. It's like we are destroying some tables. And
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: sometimes even the men too. Each time the wife gets
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: the password of the ATM, changes it. And sometimes, do
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: you understand what I'm saying? There are homes that the
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: wife can't touch the husband's ATM. But they are touching
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: each other. At the level of body and order, render
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: due benevolence to each other. That one is not an issue.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: They like that one. But that oneness, your money is
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: our money. My money is our money too. They say no.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: Actually your money is our money. My money is my money.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: That's what Kira and I are suffering. They say church
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: money is our money. Our own money is... So you check.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: The most difficult thing to part way with is money.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: If you ask me, what does tithe giving, offering giving,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: what does it do? I think what it does is
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: that it clears junk.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: For me.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: It becomes almost impossible for me to say no. If
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: I can part with the old, what's the problem with
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: part of it? And none of you watched that movie, Enoch?
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: God already told the old man. I don't know if
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: they depicted it like that. I know the story. That
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: the next person after you will come into church. He
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: said this. He said but give this instruction. There was
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: actually a need. He said that person will obey it.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: What was going to be deceived for that generation? Mammon.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: The prophecy may be hanging on someone too. But now
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: it is whoever purges himself from this. Prophecy without purging
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: there is still no result. And there are people who
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: don't have the prophecy, but they pass the test. And
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: then God cross his hands. I've seen believers that walk
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: in absolute defiance. But for those who know the Bible,
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: we know the Bible. Defiance. Nothing will happen to us.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: Only to discover that there are things God can't trust
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: you with. Absolute defiance. The level that we are. They
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: don't say, but don't mind them. If you have to
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: react like that in any church, leave that church. You've
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: fallen so bad. Do you know? Let me tell you
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: my goal. Let me tell you what I'm fighting for.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: What I'm fighting for. And probably you will understand. And
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: I'm going to lead you to pray now once I
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: show you. What I'm fighting for is that I will
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: become in God's hands as sharp as the finest sword.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Let me explain.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: It's so real to me. And I'm trying to hold myself.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know about you. I don't care what you've
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: experienced and all that. I care though. But sometimes maybe
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: you've experienced people who lie and all that. But I'm
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: telling you so true. I think this was Lawrence that said,
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: I know you have met many scammers. Many scammers. I
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: want to become so sharp. that the devil cannot successfully
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: do anything around me. Once the signal is up, I
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: pick it first. God does not have to wait for
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: me to now go to some prayer meeting, then they
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: charge me for some three hours, and I'll come back
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: to now enter the energy frequency. That if I'm holding
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: prayer meeting for five minutes, And somebody breathing to go out.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Within that minute of breathing to go out, the word comes.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: That's sharpness. That being God's emergency line. And that's why
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: I love that song. I said, this is it. The
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: problem is that we don't have spiritual emergencies. That's why
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: we have problems. Today now, I've seen something that the
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: devil wants to do. I saw something. And God allowed
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: me to see the thing. In fullness so I can
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: notice what the devil is planning for the nation. I
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: shared the story. That woman is my spiritual daughter. She
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: woke up that morning. The devil told her, you are
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: going to die today. Start telling everybody goodbye. You hear
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: people say people die and all that. The spirit programmed
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: them to say farewell words. That's why the Holy Ghost
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: must be dwelling within you. And she was saying to
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: her children, you know people, one can leave and you
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: stay long, you don't stay long. Make sure you take
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: care of your siblings. She was giving all those strange,
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: strange words. That's how light she was in the hands
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: of the devil. And she kept giving those words and
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: all that. And then the spirit said to her, now
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: go and lie down. And cover your head. I'm about
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: to take you. If you don't do it, I'll take
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: you violently. And by herself, she entered her room. And
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: she laid down and covered her head. And indeed, she
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: began to struggle with the spirit of death. Medicine will
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: diagnose it as something. But it does not change the
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: fact that it's spiritual. So when the spirit was fighting
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: with her, the only thing she knew at that level was,
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: I will call my pastor. And the spirit of death replied,
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: even if you call him now, before he gets here,
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: I would have taken you. As he said that, that
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: was when she heard my knock at the door. I
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: noticed I was knocking, nobody was answering. Everyone had gone
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: to school and all that. But I knew there's an emergency.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: And I kept knocking, kept knocking, kept knocking. When she
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: came out, she fell on her face. I held my
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: legs and was crying. And say you are not just
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: my father. You are my angel. And that was when
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: she narrated the ordeal. Imagine being dull spiritually. You only
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: get to heaven. And they say you have blood on
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: your neck. I didn't kill anybody. We have to be sharp.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: We have to be sharp.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: And a man that. Touch my heart about that. Before
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: Bishop Oedipus plane almost happened. He said he just saw
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: him just enter the room early in the morning left
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: from camp to altar. Only for your son in the Lord,
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: for your son in the Lord to meet the spiritual
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: father entering into all the rooms in the house and
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: just praying in tongues. And that's why I want to
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: beg in the name of God. Don't treat your father
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: like scum. I don't have much to say. Because I
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: know I'm dealing with a very arrogant generation. I said, God, okay,
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: let the result do the talking. Maybe by then they
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: will listen. You know, that level of liberty was there.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: And I just called him, Papa, he's around. I just
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: met him, just praying, entering into all the rooms. And
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: he didn't say a word. He entered the car back
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: and got back to camp before daybreak. You will wake
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: up in Lagos and not know that a pastor here
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: had moved from retention, come to beggar, straight down to altar,
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: driven back. It was after the plane crash almost happened.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Even Bishop knew it took a higher power.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: When I pray and do the things, it's not for
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: me alone. Somebody's life depends on this price. When God says,
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: release this, and I say yes, it's not about me.
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question. Do you think, and
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: let me say this in all humility, do you think
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: if I wanted to buy a Prado Jeep and all that,
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: do you think it's too big? Let's be honest. I'm
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: not a fool, and I'm not broke. Osim Bajos, Professor
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: Osim Bajos' plane, helicopter crashed that time. Nobody died. Nobody.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: He said, the final call I received was, I just
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: called to greet you.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: What kind of sharpness is that?
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: Because if you are, listen, if you are just sleeping
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: and living for yourself, God can't trust you because you
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: don't care about the kingdom.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: Can I give you a moment to pray?
• 45:58
  Speaker 9: I hear the sound of my lover beckoning on.
• 46:15
  Speaker 10: Me to the secret place. I hear the sound of
• 46:22
  Speaker 10: my love beckoning on me to the secret place.
• 46:30
  Speaker 7: Oh lover, oh lover, oh lover.
• 46:38
  Speaker 11: I hear the sound of my love. Reckoning of me
• 46:53
  Speaker 11: to the sacred grave. I hear the.
• 47:06
  Speaker 7: Sound of my love.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: They're calling on me. To the sick with me. I
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: hear the sound of my love.
• 47:18
  Speaker 11: They're calling on me.
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: All over, all over, all.
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: Over, all over. All over, all over, all over.
• 47:56
  Speaker 6: In Jesus.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: Mighty name we are praying Please be seated for a
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: while Thank you.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: I met a young man At a program.
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: I met people At different programs where I have been
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: following My teachings and all that But this one was different.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: He held me and was crying.
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: Was crying. He said, I'm meeting you for the first time, sir.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: For God has used you to save me. I saw
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: his tears.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: I was moved.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: I said, this is why we fast. This is why
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: we pray. This is why we pray. Not just people
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: who sin. You know me, I'm not satisfied with frivolous things.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: I was blessed. We are not really the real people.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: I told one of my sons, I said, my teachings,
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: they are survival kits. They are survival kits. I know
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: my role in the body of Christ. That's what is missing.
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: That sharpness. That even if passing by is what you do,
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: the presence is sharp enough to convict someone of a lifestyle.
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: But that doesn't happen when you live for yourself. Have
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: you tried to do something wrong? Then you just saw
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: somebody's picture. Ah, I can't. I can't. Ah, I can't.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: This is the reason we put our body under. So
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: if somebody is thinking about fornicating tomorrow or immorality, you
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: can say, ah, these people have been running this race.
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: We didn't make this from them. I'm not ready to
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: come to church and say I have a confession. I
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: didn't make it from my father's.
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: Are you seeing? Because if I feel, somebody can't say
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: I didn't meet with my father.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: It's why we strive. Let me help you pray the
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: right prayers. Oh Lord, help me finish well.
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: By all means. By all means. By all means. By
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: all means. By all means. By all means. In Jesus
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: name we are praying. Let me give you an instance.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: Sit down for a moment.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Let me have.
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: Six brothers Four sisters, quickly. Thank you. Please come. Quickly, quickly.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: Stand here.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: Now, stand facing me like this.
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: All of you, quickly, quickly. Face me. Come, come, come. Okay.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: So, imagine.
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: No, face there.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: Imagine that everyone here.
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: Sees this man as their spiritual father, as their apostle,
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: as the case may be.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Now I'm giving examples now.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: Let's say, he's coming from a home where the father
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: has track record of women. He's coming from a home
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: where there's track record of recklessness, drunkenness. He's coming from
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: a different bar track record. Everyone, when you hear their stories,
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: you are amazed. This is from the scripture. That a
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: man will become a hiding place. So everyone. Can say.
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: I am not subdued. Under what conquered my father. In
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: Christ there is a provision. Now the priesthood I missed.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: God has supplied it. So what that means is. The
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: same enemies that fought this family. Because of these graces.
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: Focus on this man. Meanwhile, he's also coming from a
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: place where he has his own battles. This man must
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: not pray like ten people. Because his death, his fall
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: is so important in the kingdom of darkness that many
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: people now here, can you see it? You are not free.
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: That's why we pray for this man. But much more,
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: that's why this man too must pray. Because the principle is,
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: smite the shepherd, the sheep will scatter. Ezekiel 34, once
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: they are scattered, they become meat for every prey. Some
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: of you are leaving people in different capacities. You wonder
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: why things are the way they are. Pray, oh. Pray. Pray.
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: When I ask you to pray, please pray. Pray.
• 53:38
  Speaker 7: Please pray. Oh Lord, energize me.
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: I will.
• 53:51
  Speaker 7: Not fall. I will not fail. I will not crash. Never.
• 53:57
  Speaker 7: I will not fall.
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: Hey! Hey! Energize me Lord. Energize me Lord. Energize me Lord.
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: Energize me Lord. Energize me Lord. Energize me Lord. in
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: jesus mighty name we are praying do you know as
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: serious as what i've described is that's level one that's
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: level one let me explain that's level one what i
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: just came out is level one Level one is, what
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: you say you have escaped from, let the one you
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: follow demonstrate the failure. That's level one. Level two is,
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: make him become worse than what you have run him from.
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: Let me explain. No matter how bad, now, the men,
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: separate now. Separate. No matter how bad you feel home
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: looks like, oh, my father has made this mistake. You
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: will never see the biological father of a girl go
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: sleep with her, except in worse cases. Level 2 is
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: when you now see a priest now go low. Meaning
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: that this one is not just that now I will
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: make him become a bigger, now he has failed, little
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: you can fail.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: But now is that he has now been used as
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: instrument of attack. Father, energize me not to fail.
• 56:25
  Speaker 7: Empower me.
• 56:30
  Speaker 11: Empower me empower me.
• 56:37
  Speaker 8: Empower me empower.
• 56:47
  Speaker 7: Me What is it? What is it? What is it?
• 57:19
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: I feel like you should press more.
• 57:40
  Speaker 7: Press more. Press more.
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: Press more.
• 57:42
  Speaker 7: I will not fail in priesthood. I will not fail
• 57:45
  Speaker 7: in my priesthood duty.
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: No.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: Never. I will not fail.
• 58:08
  Speaker 7: Sele mokote! Sele mokote! Sele mokote!
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: Eh!
• 58:16
  Speaker 7: Supakaye!
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: Lekete be lekete!
• 58:21
  Speaker 7: Pakwatai! Pakwatai!
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: Pakwatai!
• 58:25
  Speaker 7: Pakwatai!
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: Pakwatai!
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: Eh!
• 58:29
  Speaker 7: Sele mokote! Sele mokote!
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: Eleke boloko brekete! Hey. Holy Ghost, you intoxicate me. only
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: those who intoxicate me pray.
• 59:09
  Speaker 6: Pray pray pray pray Jesus Jesus Jesus.
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: Hey in jesus mighty name we are praying sit down
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: for a moment ah and meanwhile are you aware these
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: things are still surface We can go on that reality
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: and see deeper things. Let me give you an instance.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: Somebody is coming from places. There's been sicknesses, untimely death.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: Came to a house. We say we have covenant of life. Ah,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: feel so secure. Hey, hey, hey.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: What is killing them there?
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: Check it. You can't die. And that's why as a leader,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: you master the principles too. You don't survive through your
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: own teachings. You survive through principles.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 4: Eilat Katif.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: Eilat Katif. in Jesus mighty name we are praying now
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: sit down this is what the devil tries to do
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: That's why a priest, leaders, in any capacity, you pray more.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: You strive more. Do you know people come and say, ah,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: anytime they talk about, ah, papa, mama, my dreams, this, this, this,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: my couple crush, and all those names. We bless God
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: for that. But the devil wants that party to be over.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: He wants it over. Anything that gives somebody a beacon
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: of hope, he doesn't want it. He wants them into
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: hopelessness that he can't work with anyone. That's what happens
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: when a priest fails or falls. It's a bolt of
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: defeat that goes to the camp. It's a bolt of defeat.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: That's why we strive. That's why it can't just be church.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: The principles also that keeps a home. Because we can't
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: preach good message if we lose the home. We've attested
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: to it in some people's life that nobody can do it.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: Health also. Everything must be fully functional. No path failing.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: Powered by the word. When my wife was pregnant with
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: her daughter, we went to the hospital and one of
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: the vitals wasn't adding up. I always told her, go
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: and sleep. God has prepared me for a time like this. Sleep.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: She's heavy. We pray together. She sleeps off. Hey, go
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: and sleep. The devil wants us to not have a
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: vibrant child. Came out by the decree. It is not
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: everything you accept as cross. There are times you stay.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: And fight it through. Are you following what I'm saying?
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: The devil is trying to play a prank with your
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: wife's life.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: Use this. Get your hands off! The wife of one
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: of my friends called me and said, I'm surviving on
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: your messages. I asked my husband, since I've been pregnant,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: when has he ever laid hands on my womb and
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: spoke a word?
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: What in the life of this child is God to
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: confirm through his word?
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: He said, when has he ever laid hands on me
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: and prophesied? When has he ever said, let's pray in marriage?
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: May he not be that kind of man. It's not
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: the wife dragging. Has he ever come once? Ask him.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: So I called him.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: I drew his ears. He didn't learn anything. Go back
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: and become the priest. One night candles. I have to
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: message him at night. Have you blessed your wife today?
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: Because the woman knows That a house without a roof
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: would be flooded. A home without a priest. All the
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: children would be snagged upon. This one will become lesbian.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: That one gay. That one that.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: The devil will be eating them the way he wants.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: No priesthood. No coordinated bolt of prophecy. It doesn't start
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: when you marry. It starts before you get married. Such
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: that the word... that everything. One of the very strong
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: criteria I knew about my marriage was that God told
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: me years back, eight years before I got married, this, this,
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: this will happen. We're going to have a girl first.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: And this is what our life will be about. So
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: now I look at my daughter, the things she's speaking interest,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: and I say, yes, that's destiny. On Sunday, I was
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: in church. My wife sent me a video. choir were
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: praying and all that my one year old daughter to
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: help dance with them they were all praying together and
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: all that I said that's it you go to her
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: and say pray for me she lay hands on you
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: and then close her eyes even if you don't know
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: what you are saying you are fulfilling prophecy we spoke
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: these things maybe the challenge we even had was that
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: the things came we spoke it came too sharp I
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: said hey come on I beg but what do you
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: do to people's life when you say nothing That's why
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: we pray. That's why we intercede. Because not everyone is
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: privileged to come from homes where a priest exists. We
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: want to make sure we have generated current that when
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: we say, we can cover. So it is, the church
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: now is the bigger size of what the family should be.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: So now the pressure we face, based on whether the
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: priests at each home are doing their work or not. However,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: we have to pray and assume they are not. I
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: can tell you stories. I can tell you of warfare.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: That you know the devil wants to kill this person. Satan, no.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 3: This person is coming out alive. That's why we are
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 3: starting healing school by the grace of God. Because it
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 3: goes beyond just declaration. I want to, most of you
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: declare some people still die. There is a way for
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: them not to die. What I believe is absolutely true.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: I don't believe the word works partly. I believe if
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: taken the way it should be taken, it works absolutely.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: So healing school is not just to come and lay hands,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: to teach them. The word must saturate. You take the
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: word the way you use pastor more. If somebody has
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: malaria now, the way you trust the anti-malaria doctor, when
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: you take this or take this, it's going down. The
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: same way you can eat scriptures, but it works faster. Somebody,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: Bishop Oedipus' wife, I'm afraid. Posted on Twitter. How that
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: she had miscarried. Go and serve my food. They are
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: seeing this one. She gave birth to him. Community people
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: are saying blah, blah, blah. The day they need.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: That kind of intervention, they will know there's something they missed.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm saying? You will not fail
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: your priesthood duty.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: Say that amen again loud and clear. Say it again
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: loud and clear.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 7: Hey, hey, hey.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: Say it again loud and clear. You won't fail God.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: You won't fail God. You won't fail God. You won't
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: fail God. Please be seated. This is why we pray.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: Before we come for PPC in the morning, most times
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: I cry my eyes out.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: There are conditions. And let me say this to you.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: And I'm saying this because we are workers.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: Just so you know.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: The moment we started PPC, people started giving to flame
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: and all that.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: God said to me, detach yourself from every salary.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: I'm out. As I'm laboring in prayer, it is not
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: because more blessing is coming. Mm-mm.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not a beneficiary. Give anything you like. It goes
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: to the work.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: It doesn't concern me. So that the devil will not...
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: Because petitions warrant investigation. And say, this person needs to die. Say,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 3: but here is somebody interceding. Say, is he really interceding?
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: They start checking heart matters. When you come to me,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: you find nothing. I'm detached.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: We have to win our legal battles.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: So as I fast, as I pray, I know I'm
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: not praying because people are giving millions there.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: So my pocket, I'm out.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: Because if you don't know this part, you may approach
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: ministry as the larger it gets, the better your life becomes.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: You are a servant. It is God who prospers and
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: blesses you. I have people that are on salary from me.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: I say, God, what do I do? You say, trust
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: me for them.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: That's okay.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: I won't go for that.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: Mastery involves putting the flesh on that. That day will
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: not come. God move me the heavens and the earth.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: That I will leave my priesthood place. And I'll begin
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: to mess up. By his grace. What do we say?
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: That a father wouldn't have a calling failed. When the
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: pastor that God called also failed. At leading the same person. Never.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: If you have an understanding of any kind of what
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: this means.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 3: You pray. If you don't have prayer point as a pastor.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: Then it means you are not praying. That's why I
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: say when I talk, what I'm saying is real to me.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: I'm not an acting pastor. What I'm saying is real
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: to me.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, Jesus.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 3: Can I ask you to pray again? Father, I don't
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: want to crash. I don't want to fail. I don't
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: want to fail.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 4: Amen.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: Where is the power of darkness?
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 6: Where Jesus reigns as King?
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: Where is the power of darkness? Go see all. Energize me, Lord.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: Equip me, equip me, equip me, equip me. Alakate, Seleba Kai.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: Palwa teke dish. Eleke fendish.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 10: Bim.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: Bim.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 4: But.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 8: In Jesus.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: Mighty name we are praying. Please be seated for a minute.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: There is power mighty in the blood.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 12: There is power mighty in the blood.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: There is power mighty.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 9: In the blood of Jesus Christ.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: There is power. I want us to take it solemnly.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: As a convention. One, two, three, go. Let's go together.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 12: There is power mighty in the blood. There is power
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 12: mighty in the blood. There is power mighty in the
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 12: blood of Jesus Christ. There is power mighty in the blood.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: This is the blood that speaks better things over the
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: blood of Abel.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, Jesus. I ask that you will heal weaknesses. Heal
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: bleeding fountains. Heal bleeding fountains. Everyone who is injured be healed.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 3: Every injury of the flesh. Weight of the flesh. Oh God.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: Oh Lord. Oh Lord. Oh Lord. Every ancestral weaknesses that
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 3: is plaguing a new generation to cause the same failure. Oh,
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 3: not this one. Not this one.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 7: Not this one. Not this one.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: We bring you back from the snares of the devil
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: and the traps of death.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 7: I insist.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: Not this one. The same way Jesus told Peter that
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 3: the devil has desired you to sift you like wheat.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: But I insist. I insist as a priest.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 7: Not this one.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: Not this one. Oh God of heaven's army. It doesn't
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: matter how weak he is. How weak he is. And
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: how weak she is. This one will repeat it. Not
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: this one. Not this one. Oh God. I come against
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: every snare. Same thing that defeats everyone. Every weakness that
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 3: is generational. Every pattern. Not this one. No. We burn
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: out the fire of the devil. We quench his fiery dart.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: Not this one.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 7: Sit and take off your hands.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 3: Israel is my firstborn, says the Lord. Let her go.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: Let Israel go. That he may serve me.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 7: Let Israel go. That Israel may serve me.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 3: The same way Moses brought the word to Pharaoh. He said,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: Israel is God's firstborn. I bring that word again. This
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: one is God's firstborn. Let him go. This one is
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: God's firstborn. Let her go. You won't fail. Oh God.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 3: Oh God I ask. It doesn't matter how long it
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: has started. We halt it. We halt it. We halt it.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: We halt it.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 7: By the Spirit.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: We halt it. We halt it. Get out from amongst them,
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 3: says the Lord, and touch not on clean things. Get
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 3: out from amongst them, says the Lord. Touch not on
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: clean things. Oh, Jesus.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 6: Abba, Shudda. Liberty, Jesu, Benjamin. Abba, Shudda.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Lord. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. Oh,
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: Lord of heaven's army. Oh, Lord. Amen. Let's sit for
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: a while. While I'm ministering, there's going to be divine
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 3: surgeries going on. Become like a child. There comes that
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: defining moment in everyone's life. Become like a child. I
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: can trace my life story to different surgeries. I went
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 3: for meetings. I couldn't stop crying because God was doing
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: something in my heart. Become like a child. I see
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: God stopping the works of the devil. I see God
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 3: stopping the works of the devil. And I kept hearing
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 3: that word. Israel is my firstborn. Let him go that
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: he may serve me. It doesn't matter whether there is
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 3: a weakness that already agreed to the pattern in you.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 3: I don't care whether you have started. What I'm saying,
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: it goes no further. It goes no further.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: It goes no further. Your children will meet good inheritance
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: on the ground.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 3: Amen. inheritance of prayer, of power, of sacrifices. Oh yes,
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: of sacrifices. When God said to me, I've called you
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: and all that, I faced hell. I've shared stories. It
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 3: was not convenient. I had to go back to sleeping
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 3: in hostels. I had opportunities. I'm not a dull person.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: I knew there are doors that won't knock twice. But
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: God said, this is it. And I knew, if I
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 3: go out on my way, I'll become like all others.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 3: And I'll fail. Because when God calls you, or God
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 3: puts you in certain families, He has observed, by yourself,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 3: you'll crash. There are rules, this, this. People look at
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 3: me and say, hey, why are you under the spiritual father?
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: I know why God brought me here.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 3: And I know if my life would be scattered, it
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 3: would begin from the devil convincing me I should not
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 3: be there. Many people can't say this because they can't
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 3: trust their faithfulness. Will you always have one reason or
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 3: the other at some point?
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 3: But covenant is covenant. You are not becoming another failed generation. Hey,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 3: there's something called mercy. What prayer did Peter pray? That
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 3: Jesus said, I heard a council meeting. And in the meeting,
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 3: the devil desired that it is you he wants to sift.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 3: But I have decided it's not you. I prayed for you.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 3: What prayer did Peter pray? It was Jesus who did
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 3: the prayer. He said, when you are strengthened. At that point,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 3: Jesus was talking. Peter had all it took to betray him.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 3: Maybe he was even offended. But when it was Judas' turn,
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 3: John said, who will betray you? He said, the one
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 3: to whom when I dip this bread in soup and
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 3: put it, that's the one. And when he gave it
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 3: to him, he said, that's what you want to do.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 3: Do it quickly. Do it quickly.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: Let me say this.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 3: Let me say this. Sit down. I'm going to say
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: this and I'm going to leave it there. I called
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 3: one of my daughters. I said to her, because I'm
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: going to say this and I'm going to leave it there.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 3: And it's nothing. One of the things I've learned is
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 3: that as you go higher in ministry, God does more
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 3: than bringing you partners, sons and daughters. He brings you teammates.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 3: It brings you teammates. These people, no matter how younger
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 3: they are, they are your team. I won't say further
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 3: than that. I can show you in the body of Christ.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 3: Bishop Oedipo and Bishop Abiyo are not sons and fathers.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 3: That's a team. Bishop Thomas and I, that's a team.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 3: It's a whole generation functioning as a squad. And if
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 3: sometimes the gap can be much, that's not just an
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 3: ordinary singer. That's a team. That person responds to his grace.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 3: Or his grace responds to the voice. That's a team.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 3: There's a level beyond sonship. That's the point where you
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 3: now become a teammate. And that comes through service and sacrifice.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 3: When Jesus went to call the tribe, he wasn't calling sons,
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 3: he was calling teammates. I said, a passive, a team.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 3: I can't guarantee you anything. I can't guarantee you wealth.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: You see me. But one thing I know is that
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: you will even build before I build.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 3: I didn't say that. I know what teamwork is. I'd
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 3: rather step behind. Why am I saying this? And let
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 3: me say this. At the point that you go beyond
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 3: all those normal, normal things and you enter into the
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 3: team level, it means... You are not responsible for anything
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 3: about you again. Yours is yours to align.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: Am I going too deep?
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 3: Let me leave it. I've shut down that till maybe
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: another year when it will open. Hey. Hey. Oh Lord,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 3: say to God, and that's why once you are in church,
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 3: don't let your heart be destroyed. And don't stay around mockers.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 3: They will cut you off destiny. Don't let recognition die.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 3: No matter the privilege of access It must be fresh.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 3: God had to team beds with Elijah for three and
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 3: a half years. Whether those beds were at that point
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 3: they should die or not. But when they resumed their duty,
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: it's for three and a half years. Do you know
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 3: it was just once that Pastor here had a boy
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 3: and his wife walk into a church. But the destiny
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 3: of that church was on their shoulder. It's not about
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 3: when you join church. I told the pastor. First Sunday
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: I stood there when I came. Hey, hey, hey.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: I knew there's a need to call for destiny.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 3: If I go in that direction, I might say things
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 3: that too, I may sound, you know, I have another
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 3: closer meeting that I'm going to say a few things.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 3: When you get to that level, then Jesus now says,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 3: I no longer call you servant, but friends. But you
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 3: will have to labor and through faithfulness, then God will
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 3: now begin to, what God does is that He will
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 3: now begin to give it to you that actually I
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 3: created this person because they have to team with you.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 3: So are you seeing that at that point, it's responsibility.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 3: You can't crash.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: You can't afford to.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 3: Where do they go?
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 2: They post many things about their lives for this.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 3: Are you seeing why? That's why Father Peter denied Jesus
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 3: three times. He couldn't leave him. He went back, but
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 3: he still came back. You don't leave teammates. I have
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 3: a picture, a frame in my palm. On it is written,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 3: we are God's end time armies. We leave no man behind.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 3: We leave no man behind. Hey, don't just do church.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 3: There's destiny in this thing. Sometimes they tell people serve
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 3: and they.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: Do it as a it's destiny.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 3: It's destiny. You are placed in one department. Do it
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 3: like your life depends on it. Do you understand what
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 3: I'm saying? Do you get me? Not this, when the
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 3: tree is broken, the birds will fly. Not that nonsense.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 3: The consciousness of this is where God has planted me.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 3: It's a different level. And as a leader, you will
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 3: know those who operate at that level. You will. You will.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: And God doesn't fail his own.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 3: I have things I want to say, but maybe songs
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 3: at daughter's conference.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 11: Oh, Lord have mercy.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: Amen, amen, amen. I'll sit down for a moment. There
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 3: are two approaches to mastery. Let me just summarize. They
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: are caused by the same agent and that's the word.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 3: The word is God's tool for mastering you. That's God's
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 3: tool for mastering you. But that word has two phases
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 3: of operation. It should have two phases of operation. And
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 3: the first phase is that it should dwell in you richly.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 3: So it can cause an inward walking. The second phase
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 3: is that the word must produce wisdom. And that's when
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 3: you act on the word. So you cannot gain mastery
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 3: if the word is not dwelling in you. You've got
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 3: to allow the word to sit in you. You have
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 3: to take it. You have to believe it. You have
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 3: to digest it. There are many people who are not
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 3: taking it. They are formitting it. Many people are vomiting
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 3: when they hit the one that looks odd. They spit
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 3: it out. But you have to take it all. Sometimes
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 3: it's bitter pill, but you have to chew it. But
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 3: much more, where I want to lay emphasis is that
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 3: you have to give yourself to the reading of the word,
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 3: the study. Your life depends on it. You will face
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 3: issues that will check what you know. In those days,
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 3: you will need it as written. And this kind of
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 3: it is written, it's not the one you heard a
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 3: pastor say. Not in the name of Jesus whom Paul preached.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 3: This one is the one I have handled. Do you
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 3: understand what I'm saying? Do you know what it means
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 3: when you sit down? You have to engage materials for
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 3: the word. You are studying on how to walk in
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 3: divine health. Don't just read Bible. Thank God for heads
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 3: of study Bibles. In fact, you can go on Google
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 3: and check scriptures on divine health. Don't let anybody say
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 3: you can't go and go. It's not an aid. Just scriptures.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 3: Write them down. As you are eating, do egging. You
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 3: are doing egging, detoxifying. I tell people, I say detoxify.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 3: You've done too much media. You've seen too much cancer.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 3: You've seen too much diabetes. Detoxify. It has to be
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 3: a powered system. Fuel runs from fuel, not water. You
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 3: run on the word, not junks. You have to eat it.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 3: You have to eat it. You have to meditate and
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 3: say it again and again. You have to repeat it
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 3: to yourself. It has to become a consciousness. A revelation
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 3: you have.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: You have to.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 3: That's the first thing. Study to show yourself approved unto God.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 3: A man that needs not to be ashamed. Rightly dividing
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 3: the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2 verse 15. Study.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 3: Look at what the Bible says. Colossians 3 verse 16.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 3: John 5 verse 13. Hebrews 10 verse 22. Colossians 3
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 3: verse 16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 3: How should it dwell? Richly. In all wisdom. My wife
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 3: asked me one time, how is it that you can
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 3: play mercy over and over again 50 times? Are you
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 3: not tired?
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: I have not heard it. Every cell must hear it.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: Till that's my consciousness. And that's me.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 3: What I'm dangerous at is repetition. I've listened to many
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: again that now I can almost say it verbatim.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 2: At it, at it, at it.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 3: Read the books. All the books of Egin I know
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 3: is in Nigeria I've read. So now it's the messages.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 3: That one, I'm not eating to preach. I'm eating for
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 3: my life. Just so you know. I don't listen to
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 3: any message to preach. I have people I mark out.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 3: I don't agree with this person in everything. But in
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 3: the area of consecration, I agree. He's my consecration preacher.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 3: When he's talking, I'm inspired. I begin to attack other ministers.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 3: It's not my business.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 2: Why I'm here is consecration.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 3: That's it. Don't throw baby and bad water away. You
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 3: may not like the way a man of God dress,
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 3: but he carries a grace you need. Focus on that grace.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 3: Out of the dead, something sweet. Focus on that sweet thing.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 3: Because what the devil does is to discredit the man
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 3: plus everything. Meanwhile, you don't have replacements. You don't have
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 3: a replacement. When the devil fought the minister of pastor
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 3: of Christ in Nigeria he fought the health of all
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 3: Nigerians whether you believe it or not so I know
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 3: those I listen to for different reasons one of my
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 3: favorite ministers is Dr. Mensah Otabio I know why I
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 3: listen to him Can I tell you again, I know
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 3: when we get to a hug and say, you listen
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 3: to me, my hair was even paining me. I did.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: It has to sit. How do you at this level have.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 3: A Shakir on your phone? You are playing plus Nathan Ebasi.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 3: Where do we even start from with you?
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: Where?
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 3: Where do we start helping you? Because you will convince
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 3: me That is not anything serious. I say, ah, pastor,
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 3: it's not going to be that tough. See, no problem.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: What you are saying is at the level of what
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 3: you are pursuing. It's not an issue. I say, okay, look.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 3: You watch. Now I don't struggle with people.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: I saw that it's fruitless.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 3: Wrestling.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: Let's keep teaching. One day they get it.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 3: It's fruitless. There's someone who says, I do this job,
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 3: David Oplos, Victor Lorenze. No, the question is not even how.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 3: You might have found a way to combine it at
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 3: that depth that you are. Well, you just need to mature.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 3: Over time, you discover that one can be combined with
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 3: the other. One is building, the other is pulling down.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 3: There are songs that make you conscious of immorality. The
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 3: bulk of what they are singing is your waste. That
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 3: becomes your focus. One story that shook me.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: Was when Dr. Lester Sumrall went to the house of
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: Smith Wigglesworth.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 3: And as he got to that house, he was holding
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 3: a newspaper and Smith Wigglesworth said, drop it, drop it.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 3: Don't enter with that lie. Say, don't come into my
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 3: house with a lie. And as he entered Smith Wigglesworth's house,
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 3: he was reading the Bible to his ears out loud.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 3: Smith Wigglesworth wasn't educated. couldn't speak good English. He was
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 3: a plumber. Just read it like that. And when the
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 3: war began, they were going to separate. Told him, kneel down.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 3: And they said, when you find young people who are
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 3: hungry for God and passionate and you are about to go,
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 3: put the same grace on them. They never saw again
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 3: until Smith died. but he went carrying that grace. It
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 3: was a connection between a 25-year-old boy and about an
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 3: 85-year-old man. Maybe then, Smith was not the same, not
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 3: the way people become snide, but people value things only
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 3: when they are gone. But when you hear Dr. Lesford,
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 3: you know he carried it. There's power of impartation. It
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 3: was Kenneth Hagin that told Paul here that we kneel
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 3: down and lay hands on him. Different words come to
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 3: play the same role. When a generation where young people
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 3: Two hours distance, the way they should go and learn. Say,
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 3: I don't have transport. We are not perfect in the
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 3: sphere of light church. We have our weaknesses. No church
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 3: is perfect. But you notice, if you get to this system,
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 3: many of the things you think you know will be overhauled.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 3: You can stand at the door welcoming guests and the
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 3: person preaching has seen you the way you did it.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 3: Has seen you in the office. There is no Martino.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 3: And not here. And God told me, say you have
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 3: not started. I wanted to cry, but I was asking,
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 3: how do you stay on that person, someone you are learning?
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 3: Now come, both you and the person don't know this
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 3: is wrong. One of my sons met a man at Elisha.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 3: A pastor, but looking tattered. He came there to do ministry.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 3: He wasn't looking well. And he said, God gave me
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 3: a vision. I think either 93 or 97. He said,
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 3: and the vision of the ministry is to go and
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 3: be praying for nations. So the man resigned from his
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 3: job and was going from state to state since the
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 3: 90s praying for nations till he became what he became.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 3: Am I saying, eh, they are trying to use the
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 3: result to justify, mm-mm, keep quiet. I'm saying those that
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 3: God calls, he glorifies. Because there's a subtle conversation coming
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 3: from bitterness. The day you, out of zeal or ignorance,
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 3: join any minister to say it's not about a result,
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 3: what you have said is that I excuse the result
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 3: from my life. You need a result. Now, when my
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 3: son heard him, and the man said, this is the vision,
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 3: how do you resign? I'll be traveling from... Somebody comes
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 3: to Ibadan now and say, I'm a minister of God.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 3: Since 1993, I've been doing this. Actually, the vision of
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 3: our ministry is now we want to pray for Burundi.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 3: Excuse me. We have something we are doing here. We
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 3: are looking for someone else. Eventually, that kind of misunderstanding
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 3: ends in bitterness. The fellow did not hear God well. Sometimes, yes,
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 3: he wants you to pray for nations. But while you
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 3: are still doing what you are doing, it is not
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 3: every vision that is worth resigning for. You need a
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 3: pastor to tell you that. And when he heard him,
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 3: he knew that the man had missed it. How do
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 3: you tell a man what you have done for about
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 3: 30 years is wrong? Where do you want to suffer?
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 3: Until someone come, and that's even an act of mercy.
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 3: Mercy sometimes destroys what you have built. So you can
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 3: have the honor, the privilege of building afresh. And you
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 3: must know how to tell God, if it will mean
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 3: destroying it, for me to do it right. Do it, Lord.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 3: Do it, Lord.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 2: Than for me to go on in my pride, only
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: for it to crash at the tail end of my life.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 3: So you must let the word dwell in you. You
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 3: must read up. You must be updated. You must fasten
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 3: the word in through prayer. As you eat the word
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 3: and pray, you become balanced. It's like bon vita milk.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 3: We give ourselves to prayer and the ministry of the word.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 3: I said, how do you preach this? I said, I
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 3: do a lot of meditation.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: On the word.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 3: And you can't do it well and not pray. The
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 3: light keeps exploding. Yes, Lord.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 2: When I stand to teach you, I'm not doing guesswork.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 2: What you are hearing here, is it guesswork?
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 3: Guesswork. How do you gather people and say you want
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 3: to teach them guesswork? Somebody will go and believe you
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 3: what you have not proven in scriptures. It's like giving
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 3: somebody a gun that has no bullet. And they will
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 3: face enemies. If you preach on another man, he's preaching
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 3: as a pastor. It's like receiving a gun from another
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 3: man and give your people and say go and fight.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 3: Do you know if there's bullets inside? I don't know.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 3: But there's a second level beyond the word dwelling. And
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 3: that's where the devil really fights. And that's the level
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 3: of doing the word. Doing the word. You must do
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 3: the word. You must do the word. That's where we
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 3: can say you are wise. Because both the wise and
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 3: the foolish, both ears the same. But only the wise
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 3: man does them. Matthew 27, 24 to 27.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 3: Amen all right i'm go i've gone past my time
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 3: um i'm just going to try to I love the
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 3: fact that I'll be able to pray, but I'm not satisfied.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 3: Matthew 7. Let's look at it. from here let's start
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 3: from verse 24 therefore will so ever hear these sayings
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 3: of mine and doeth them I will liken him unto
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 3: a wise man which builds his house on a rock
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 3: the rain descends and the flood came and the wind
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 3: blew and beat upon the house and fell not But
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 3: it was founded on the rock. Three elements were mentioned.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 3: What was the first one? Rain. What was the second? Flood.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 3: The third? Wind.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 2: So these three things will check your quality.
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 3: Rain.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 2: Let's look at Isaiah 55.10. Isaiah 55.
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 3: Quickly. I'm not quoting this scripture because I want you
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 3: to read them. For as the rain cometh down, and
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 3: snow from heaven, for it returneth not thither, but watereth there.
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 3: So when rain falls, it waters the earth. So these
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 3: are the things rain brings. It brings water. It makes
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 3: it bring forth bud and flourish. It gives seed and bread.
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 3: So it means that part of the things that will
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 3: check your structure, and yes, it's powerful. It's abundance. It's abundance.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 3: Good things. Do you know how many Nigerians suddenly got
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 3: opportunity to travel out and that's it. Where God was
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 3: building from before they left Nigeria will have to be
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 3: abandoned till if ever God will ever come back there.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: That's rain.
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 3: People pray for rain. Rain is a good thing. It
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 3: checks your quality.
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 2: Oh Lord, we are trusting you for people in this
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 2: ministry when they come.
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 3: He checks you.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: Because the same way in marriage, children are in.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 3: They are in. They can come and the wife is
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 3: now busy with children and leave conjugal duties. Church members
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 3: are in. My real duty is with God. I can't
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 3: be like Saul that said people are leaving so I
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 3: went to sacrifice. So rain is going to check you. Oh,
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 3: rain of favor, rain of abundance, all those rain will
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 3: check you. But there's another element. That's flood. Flood is
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 3: what happens. Or flood is a product of a rain
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 3: you pray for but you didn't prepare for. It will
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 3: check you. Because this one come carrying different things. Don't
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 3: just pray for rain. And don't say I can't change.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 2: You can.
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 2: Let God rather help you. But there's also wind.
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 3: This one is. It's not breeze. It's wind.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 2: It comes to scatter.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 3: It also checks. It checks. Oh, this, this, this, this.
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 2: I prayed, I fasted. But this still happened. That's the wind.
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 3: But sometimes, one of the ways you know it's wind
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 3: is that you don't know where it is coming from.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 3: You just look like all of a sudden, everything was
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 3: just let loose. It's checking your quality. Quality check, quality check.
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 3: Because where God is taking you to, and listen, if
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 3: you notice that rain, flood, and wind is not checking you,
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 3: You have to check, am I on the site? Am
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 3: I on the site? Because you understand what I'm saying?
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 3: Anyone who is not enrolled in school can't be complaining
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 3: about not writing an exam. Am I enrolled? You have
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 3: to enroll. And you enroll through submission. I submit to
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 3: your will, O God. I will let the test begin.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 3: People who are set to live the kind of life
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 3: they want to live, what they are doing now is
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 3: what they want to do. He will tell them otherwise. Yes,
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 3: we are not enrolled. Do you know, because when you
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 3: listen to what I'm saying now, you may undirect what
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 3: I'm saying. The easiest of these things, the easiest, is winter.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 3: The easiest is wind. Because that one is going to
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 3: make you run back to God. But rain makes me
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 3: run from God. What killed the rich fool? It was rain. Plenty.
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 3: But it became flood that carried him away. He said,
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 3: my soul, eat and be satisfied. So what do you
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 3: do in a situation of rain? You build channels. There
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 3: has to be project as much water. It doesn't fall
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 3: on empty ground. You make your ridges. You wet it.
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 3: You build channels for storage. God bless me God. What
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 3: project is your life about? When you don't make project,
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 3: you become flawed. Carries all form of dead things. And
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 3: carry building. Floods are dangerous. But that flood came in trickles.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 3: And most times, somebody has been mismanaging rain, mismanaging, but
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 3: it's gathering.
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 2: It's gathering.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 3: The fountains will break now and carry them away. Each
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 3: time God lifts you, you are the one who struggles
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 3: first fruit. Something is gathering. It will carry you one day.
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 3: You didn't have issue with 5,000 tithes. But now that
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 3: it's 50,000, I would like to take 50,000 to the back.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 2: It's clear that the rain came on a ground where
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 2: there is no project.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 3: That's why the more you want to see rain, the
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 3: more your life must be about things that God is doing.
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 3: You now start holding this project as yours. Because it
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 3: will check your quality. I ask people, I say, how
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 3: much is the highest amount of money you've ever possessed
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 3: as yours? I like to have people break the mark.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 3: So that they don't feel it's any big deal. The
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 3: highest amount of money I've ever held, 500,000. Now when
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 3: we are talking about holding 500 million, Don't tell me
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 3: now that you have the mentality that can survive it.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 2: You have never been close.
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 3: You can afford the things that may not have need
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 3: for prayer point. And you can now do ministry programs
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 3: that God didn't call for. Money can sponsor a man
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 3: out of calling. It must meet preparation. You can now
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 3: go and establish in a city God did not send you.
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 3: Because you can afford it. In the days you have
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 3: to pray, while praying he said he didn't send you.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 3: But now there is no need. So the man must
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 3: have been fortified and made ready for such. Sometimes God
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 3: withholds for his mercies and doors forever. Hey, hey, hey.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 3: Jesus help us. Lift your hands and say, Father prepare me.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 3: Get up everybody.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 2: Let me round up now so I can.
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 3: I don't. Look up. Can I tell you a secret?
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you a secret? The way God prepares you.
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 3: I stand here. God sees my heart. I'd rather go
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 3: to my house and sleep than to use God's word
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 3: to confuse anybody. The way God prepares you for abundance
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 3: is by enlarging your heart. The way he enlarges your
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 3: heart is through giving. You cannot successfully hold what you
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 3: can't give. That is the only principle. The moment you
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 3: struggle with it in giving, even if you can't see
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 3: it yet, it has started destroying you. I'm not saying
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 3: it will. I'm saying it has started. Isaac not placed
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 3: on the altar is already dead. I found out. That's why,
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 3: you see, at some point people get offended at me.
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 3: I say no. Every year, when we say give first food, hey,
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 3: understand me. It doesn't come to me. I give to.
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 2: And I give more than first food.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 3: However, my evaluation is, you have not learned a thing
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 3: if you are struggling with mammon. Because having learned this,
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 3: learned that, we now come for this class. That's the class.
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 2: That's the class. Mammon is the class.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 2: So, that's the way I rate the growth of the
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 2: people yearly.
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 3: We must have grown. We grow. Our growth is from
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 3: life in the flesh to death. Death is the point
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 3: of surrender. But actually, in the spirit realm, it is actually,
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 3: that point we call death, it is actually from death
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 3: to life. Because nothing truly lives until it dies. That's
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 3: the way I see it. That's why I don't give
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 3: room for it in my heart. I don't care about it.
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 3: I don't care about it. God can hear me. I've
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 3: ministered in this church and I say God can hear me.
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 3: If he says I should drop my car, he knows
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 3: he's gone. And I left church and he said drop it.
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 3: And it went. And as I'm saying, I'm also saying
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 3: God test me again. I'm used to the pain and
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 3: now it's no longer painful. What happens is that when
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 3: I see God look at it, it dies. But I also.
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 2: Notice that God is not a user.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 3: What is the sum total of what God is doing?
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 2: He wants to introduce you to his class.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 3: He wants to tell you that when I started the
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 3: project Heaven and Earth, my capital was the world.
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 2: That's all he wants to give you. That's the capital.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 2: What did I say?
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 3: Who did I borrow from to start heaven and earth?
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 3: It was the word. You must come to that one
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 3: where you find it. You have to find it. That's
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 3: why no matter where God sends me to, the necessary
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 3: capital I need is the word. It will produce everything.
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 3: Where will the people come from? The word will bring them.
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 3: I never get agitated and say, we're in this city.
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 3: For where? I have rest.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 2: Do I have the word? We'll function with it.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 3: That's what God wants to teach you. So when you
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 3: get to that point, imagine the things you'll be creating.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 3: That's the whole lesson Abraham went through. 25 years of
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 3: your life, think you are preparing for Isaac. Finally you
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 3: got the Isaac. God said, give me. I prepared you
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 3: for Isaac, but not for Isaac. Isaac is not the goal.
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 3: So Isaac too can see. And it went on from
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 3: that generation. That Isaac can now bless Jacob. And Jacob
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 3: will run, not waiting for inheritance. What produce all this?
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 3: I have it already. That consciousness was not there. If
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 3: you know this thing, you will not struggle. Then you
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 3: will now value your prophecy note. Because being really broke
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 3: is to go through life without a word. That's what
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 3: we get. That's it. That's the reason why I beg people.
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 3: And now, I've been defamed many times. Even when they
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 3: don't say it to my face, I know they are
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 3: speaking against me in their houses. I say, whenever it's
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 3: fresh food, that's why he's calling us. I say, you
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 3: have not given fresh food. I have sons and daughters
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 3: who will never obey me. But we'll wait. Keep spending
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 3: the peanuts. No matter the amount. One day you will
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 3: need beyond it. You will have to start the class.
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 2: So the devil doesn't mind you learning it. but don't
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 3: I tell all the pastors, you see me. You see
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 3: my life. And I'm not saying this to boast. I
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 3: will never have need to say it, except that I
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 3: need to tell you. Because both my life, everything has
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 3: to be a message. Many of you didn't know, coming
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 3: to Ibaron was not just for church. Some things are
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 3: to die.
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 2: You may not understand. As you are going to Ibaron, this, this, this, this,
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 2: do this, do this, do this.
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 3: Yes, Lord. How do I say, put me at the
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 3: point where I'm going to operate at this financial level,
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 3: and they say, go and shut down all sources. Sir, yes, Lord.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 3: I waited.
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 2: Inspire me. Who wants what?
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 3: That's where praying for favor now comes in. There was
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 3: a night I knew my car is going. I waited
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 3: for more than an hour 30 minutes asking God, who
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 3: wants a car? I came to church the following Sunday.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 3: I was hungry because I knew nobody is dropping petition.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 3: That came from my experience. Maybe God did not bring
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 3: anybody to my heart because he didn't want them maybe.
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 3: But I was angry.
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 2: If there is a petition, God will say, somebody has
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 2: dropped a request.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 3: That's it. Sometimes, even when it comes to giving, God inspires. Okay,
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 3: somebody sowed a seed of a million. Share it into three.
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 3: The question now is, who, oh Lord? Now start waiting.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 3: Because now you don't want to do it emotionally. You
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 3: don't want to bless a man. You don't want to
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 3: give to a man that is rebelling against God. He
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 3: has not sown. Why give him a verse? You are
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 3: an enemy of God. And I told those who came
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 3: to my house, I told them, I said, go and
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 3: check investments that crash. Somebody that has not lent God entered.
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 3: And he's about to make that as a shortcut. God
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 3: will fight everything. When Jonah entered the boat, it would sink.
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 3: Check billionaires that went down. They were about to give
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 3: it to somebody That has not paid the due.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 2: Put me anywhere. Put me anywhere. Have billions. And think
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 2: because you have billions you can lift anybody out of poverty.
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 3: You can't. Only God has lifted up men. And the
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 3: lifting is a reward. Listen to what I'm saying. Try it.
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 3: That's why you see that those who have don't just spread.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 3: You must be inspired. Even the devil does not lift men.
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 3: For nothing. Check what I'm saying. Investigate it. People just
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 3: think they have billions. They can scatter money around. They
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 3: will crash. If the person that you want to bless
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 3: has not broken the battle, everything fighting, fight the giver.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 2: So they say, I have one uncle somewhere. Who told
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 2: you he's in his power?
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 3: And see, guess what? Some of you have watched me
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 3: for years now and all that. You've watched and all that.
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 3: You are still watching me. You are watching SLC Abuja.
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 3: You will see it. Then you will not watch beyond that.
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 3: This same thing produces everywhere. And it's not any capital.
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 3: It's the world.
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 2: Don't miss the avenue to enter that level.
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 3: The Abrahamic blessing begins at Moriah. Moriah is where Isaac died.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 3: Every one of us must get there. And it's painful.
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 3: Because Isaac truly died. I'm going to leave you now.
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 3: But lift your hands and say, God help me. That's
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 3: the final prayer. Help me.
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 2: To trust you. And submit to your will.
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 3: Okay. In Jesus mighty name.
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 2: We are praying. Alright now let me pray for you.
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 3: Father I ask. Let these worlds be clothed again with fire.
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 3: That every aspect where there is a need for alignment
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 3: and adjustment, let it happen, oh God. Let no one
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 3: be left behind. Strengthen all these worlds. Let no one
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 3: be left behind. Let no one be left behind. May
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 3: you submit to God's word. Submit to his instruction. Submit
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 3: to his protocols. From today, no more record of failures.
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 3: It is done. In Jesus' mighty name.
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 4: Amen.
