Transcript
- 0:00Thundering shout. I would like us to receive
- 0:03tonight the ministry of Apostle Joshua Salman.
- 0:09Hallelujah, glory to God. Hallelujah, Glory to Jesus,
- 0:29Glory to Jesus. Good evening everybody.
- 0:34Please help me honor the woman of God.
- 0:37God bless you, Mike. Thank you for this honor.
- 0:40Thank you so, so very much. Pastor Shola, thank you so much.
- 0:44It's good to see you and pastor, you and your wife.
- 0:48May the Lord honor you in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 0:52I counted a great joy to be here and sadly, I missed Pastor Shola
- 0:57session. I wanted to hear what he would
- 1:00say and to bless be blessed by it.
- 1:03How many of you were blessed by the session?
- 1:06Amen. I trust that God will speak to
- 1:10us and bless us the more. It's always a joy when we hear
- 1:15His Word. His Word comes to lift, is what
- 1:19comes to give us victory. Let's lift our hands in heaven,
- 1:22high above our heads to the heavens and ask the Lord to
- 1:27speak to us again by His Word. Speak to us in the name of
- 1:35Jesus. Are you praying?
- 1:38Verbalize your expectations. Lord, appear unto me by your
- 1:44word. Appear unto me by your word.
- 1:49Let the entrance of your word give light, and let it give
- 1:53understanding. For this in Jesus much less
- 2:00name, we pray. Again.
- 2:02God bless you. Please be seated.
- 2:05Hallelujah. Tonight I'm teaching on the
- 2:11hearing of faith. I'm teaching on the hearing of
- 2:16faith. I, the Lord, placed it in my
- 2:21heart to challenge us along this line, hoping that God will help
- 2:26walk on our believing in the Kingdom.
- 2:30Victory depends on the extent to which we understand the subject
- 2:36of faith. Faith is a very foundational
- 2:40force as far as the believers work of victory is concerned and
- 2:48it's very important that we grow in that understanding.
- 2:52So I want to take an aspect of faith tonight, the hearing of
- 2:57faith. We'll be looking at the power of
- 3:00right believing. So Galatians chapter 5, let's
- 3:04begin our reading from Galatians chapter 3.
- 3:08My apologies. We'll read from verse 5 to 9.
- 3:12Galatians chapter 35 to 9:00. He therefore that minister to
- 3:19you the Spirit, and walketh miracles among you, do what he
- 3:23eat by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith.
- 3:29It says, even as Abraham believed God, and it was counted
- 3:34to him for righteousness. Verse 7.
- 3:37It says, Know ye therefore that day, which are of faith are the
- 3:41same as the children of Abraham. Verse 8.
- 3:46And the Scripture foreseen that God would justify the hidden
- 3:49through faith preach before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, in
- 3:54these shall all nations be blessed.
- 3:56The final verse. So then they which be of faith
- 4:00are blessed with faithful Abraham, say, Amen to that
- 4:04scripture. Second Scripture Acts chapter 10
- 4:07and verse 44. Acts chapter 10 just one verse
- 4:11forsake of time. The Bible says while Peter yet
- 4:15speak these words, the Holy Ghost fell not just on them that
- 4:20were there on them which heard the word.
- 4:25The Holy Ghost fell on them which heard the word.
- 4:30We pray that you bless your word and cause it to flourish.
- 4:34Let it thrive in our hearts, producing seeds thirtyfold,
- 4:38sixtyfold, and a hundredfold in Jesus name.
- 4:43Hallelujah. So like I said, faith is a
- 4:46fundamental force for victorious living in this Kingdom.
- 4:52At least four times in scripture.
- 4:54The Bible lives by faith. The just shall live by his faith
- 5:01in one of the renditions. No matter how are where you are
- 5:08of the provisions that are available in Christ, If you do
- 5:12not understand the subject of faith, the experience of victory
- 5:17will be far from your life. There are many believers who are
- 5:20generally born again, generally filled with the Holy Spirit, but
- 5:24they are never able to do exploits.
- 5:26They are not able to walk in victory because they have not so
- 5:31learned the subject of faith, Bible faith in a way that
- 5:35produces results. Hallelujah.
- 5:38So it's important for us to have this at the back of our minds
- 5:42that the subject of faith is not just for men of God.
- 5:46It's not just for preachers understanding faith.
- 5:49It's a prerequisite for every believer who desires to manifest
- 5:54the victory that's been finished in Christ.
- 5:56Are we together? Walking in victory is faith
- 5:59dependent. No matter how you intend to win,
- 6:03no matter how you desire to win, no matter how you propose to
- 6:08win, if you do not understand the law of faith alongside the
- 6:13dynamics of making potent faith manifest, then victory will be
- 6:18far from you. Many of you will be learning
- 6:21that the issue is not really God.
- 6:23Are we together? It is that there's something
- 6:26about our understanding of faith that is faulty.
- 6:30And I pray that God will help us in the name of Jesus.
- 6:33Now, faith is an equation that has many variables.
- 6:37Please lend me your attention. For the average believer, I
- 6:40think, and you know, with all due respect, I've heard many
- 6:45teachings on faith. And I think what most people
- 6:48call faith are pieces of the variables that make up the
- 6:52equation of faith. Are we together?
- 6:55So it's possible to teach on faith, and the exclusive
- 6:59approach to that teaching will be confession, or just believing
- 7:04the Word, or just acting on the word.
- 7:07Now all of these are vital components to the equation of
- 7:10faith, but none of them in itself completes the faith
- 7:14equation. Hallelujah.
- 7:16Faith is a composite of many variables that must be there,
- 7:21must be present, must be understood, and must be engaged
- 7:24intelligently. So, for instance, some people
- 7:28choose confession and stay there and they find out that as
- 7:32sincere as that is, they are not able to get the result that
- 7:35should come by faith. Orders choose the knowledge of
- 7:38the word, memory of Scripture, and that is very profitable and
- 7:42they stay there. Orders choose action, but their
- 7:44action is not based on knowledge.
- 7:46It's not profitable action. Hallelujah.
- 7:49Are we learning now? So I want to pick one aspect for
- 7:52the sake of our discussion. I'm not doing a broad teaching
- 7:56on the subject of faith. Among the many variables that
- 8:00make up the faith equation I wrote here is the subject of
- 8:03believing. And this is where I want to stay
- 8:06beat for tonight. The subject of believing as one
- 8:11of the variables that completes the faith equation.
- 8:14Remember, I'm teaching on the hearing of faith and I'm saying
- 8:17among the many variables that make up the faith equation is
- 8:22the subject of believing. Your believing is a vital part
- 8:27of your manifestation in faith. Please listen, beloved people of
- 8:31God, believing is not all there is to manifest in faith, but it
- 8:36is a vital component. Are we together?
- 8:39It's a necessary variable in manifesting faith if something
- 8:44goes. Wrong.
- 8:45With your believing, then you will not be able to manifest
- 8:48Bible faith in a way that produces result.
- 8:51If you're following me so far, say Amen.
- 8:54Hallelujah. So you're believing is a vital
- 8:57part of manifesting Bible faith. Now the interesting thing about
- 9:03believing is that there are various kinds of believing and
- 9:09every kind of believing produces an outcome, but not all of them
- 9:13produce Bible result. In fact, as you'll be learning
- 9:17tonight, everybody is really a believer.
- 9:21Even those who fail, fail because they believed.
- 9:24So the subject of being a believer is not just exclusive
- 9:28to those who are of the Christian faith.
- 9:31Are we together? Yes.
- 9:33Fear is believing. Failure is a product of
- 9:37believing. Weakness is a product of
- 9:40believing. Defeat is a product of
- 9:43believing. Everybody is a believer.
- 9:48Hallelujah. There are various kinds of
- 9:50believing, but not all of them produce Bible faith.
- 9:56Hallelujah. So you hear people say things
- 9:57like I am believing God and they are very sincere, very
- 10:00well-intentioned. I am believing God, maybe for
- 10:03whatever it is. And you find out that at the end
- 10:06of it they are not able to get what the word of God says should
- 10:10follow that believing. It then means that we need to
- 10:14probe into what kind of believing.
- 10:16Just because you say you are believing does not mean you are
- 10:18believing, right? Are we together now?
- 10:21Praise the name of the Lord. If it is true that there is the
- 10:24truth and there is a lie. All of them I was believing and
- 10:28there are people who believe them.
- 10:30One thing is for sure, we believe in it always produces an
- 10:33outcome. Are we together provided you
- 10:37believe it will produce an outcome, But we want to produce
- 10:41outcomes that are consistent with God's Word, God's desire,
- 10:45God's intent, victory, and then dominion.
- 10:49And so let's probe a bit into the subject of believing.
- 10:51Is someone learning already? So believing always produces
- 10:55consequences. If you're writing, you may want
- 10:57to write that believing is based on encounters, and believing is
- 11:03also based on. Access to information any kind
- 11:06of believing whatsoever. It is primarily based on
- 11:10encounters and then it is based on access to information.
- 11:15It is impossible to believe until you have an encounter with
- 11:18a person or you have access to an information.
- 11:22No matter how right, no matter how wrong the information.
- 11:25Are we together now? Yes.
- 11:27The basis for believing is that you have an encounter with an
- 11:31individual or you have access to an information, any information
- 11:37whatsoever. So the foundation for believing
- 11:42is access to an information or an encounter with a person.
- 11:47Are we learning now by saying you believe, you reveal
- 11:53immediately that you have met someone or you have opened up
- 11:57your spirit and your mind to receive an information.
- 12:01So you see like you'll be learning.
- 12:03The problem is not really the believing, the problem is the
- 12:06information. Are we together now?
- 12:09Because you can't believe a lie and that lie will produce an
- 12:13outcome. The believing did not fail.
- 12:17What failed was not the believing.
- 12:19It was either the superiority of the information you received or
- 12:23otherwise. Who is learning now?
- 12:25Praise the name of the Lord. Believing is like the human
- 12:27body, so if someone takes if you take something that runs your
- 12:33stomach its not the problem is not your digestive system, it is
- 12:37working on what it received and it worked very well.
- 12:40Are we? Are we?
- 12:41So what you blame is what you ate not what happened from your
- 12:46digestive system are we together?
- 12:48Your system is fine, but it will still suffer because of
- 12:51something you introduced, and the way you cure it is also to
- 12:55introduce something else. Is someone following I'm?
- 12:58I'm trying to be very methodical because I want you to get this
- 13:01thing. If you're following, say Amen.
- 13:04So believing always produces consequences.
- 13:07It does. The outcome of your believing
- 13:10shows whether who or what you believed is the truth.
- 13:14Believing always produces consequences.
- 13:19The outcome of your believing will now show whether who or
- 13:24what you believe is the truth. That means to know whether you
- 13:29believe the truth would have to wait until we see the outcomes.
- 13:34Eventually, and I may not happen immediately but with time we
- 13:37would see the quality of the information or the quality of
- 13:41your encounters by the results that follow.
- 13:43Is someone learning? Now?
- 13:45Praise the name of the Lord. Hallelujah.
- 13:48All results are based on believing all results.
- 13:53And when I talk of results, I'm not just talking of positive
- 13:55results. Failure, like I said earlier on,
- 13:58is based on believing. Mediocrity is based on
- 14:02believing. Weakness is based on believing.
- 14:05Are we together now? Rejecting Jesus is based on
- 14:10believing. Victory is based on believing.
- 14:14Accessing power is based on believing.
- 14:17Salvation, the new birth experience is based on
- 14:20believing. Am I right on that?
- 14:22Yeah, Influence is based on believing.
- 14:28Working in healing and health is based on believing.
- 14:32So all results are based on believing.
- 14:34And like I said earlier on, in truth all men are believers.
- 14:38Its just that. Its a generic word that has been
- 14:40used to mean believers in Christ.
- 14:43So when you say a person is a believer, its you.
- 14:46You expect the person to know you are saying you are a
- 14:48believer in Christ. But now, based on what I'm
- 14:51discussing, there is nobody who is not a believer.
- 14:55Everybody believes in something, yourself, Satan, wrong
- 14:59information, God, anything in between.
- 15:02Are we together now? Praise the name of the Lord.
- 15:05So the challenge, and this is really what we're dealing with
- 15:07now, the challenge with many believers is not the believing.
- 15:13They are already called believers.
- 15:16The challenge is that the information they have believed
- 15:19is not the truth. So what keeps producing failure,
- 15:25what keeps programming defeat and weakness and mediocrity and
- 15:29regrets and pain and empowering spirits to keep believers in
- 15:35bondage is not the believing. Are we together now?
- 15:39It's the information. Satan is not afraid of your
- 15:42believing. He's afraid of what you believe.
- 15:45So the point of attack is not in your believing.
- 15:48No, believing does not get Satan scared.
- 15:50He wants to introduce. He wants to be responsible for
- 15:54the information you believe. Because if you can get that
- 15:57information to you, you keep doing the believing.
- 15:59You will lose. There's something you can
- 16:03introduce to the mind and the spirit of an individual.
- 16:07You don't need to attack him again.
- 16:08He will fail. Did you hear what I said?
- 16:12All you need to do is be responsible for the arrival of
- 16:16the information that gets into his mind and gets into his
- 16:19spirit in ancient times. And I think he still works till
- 16:23today. Once people become wealthy and
- 16:27and they want to influence territories, they buy up the
- 16:30newspapers. Am I right on that?
- 16:32They buy up every channel of information and they make sure
- 16:37they have exclusive right to doctoring the information.
- 16:41At that point, they don't need to be elected in the office
- 16:44again. They know that the people within
- 16:46that territory are under their influence and it is true.
- 16:50It is true. So the real warfare is not in
- 16:54believing. The real warfare is insisting
- 16:58that the information that arrives your life is that which
- 17:01is consistent with the Word of God.
- 17:03Are we together now? So when you tell me you are
- 17:06believing, I'm not impressed. No, it is saying, it's like
- 17:10saying you are walking. Everyone was given that ability.
- 17:15Are we together now? Yes, everybody can believe.
- 17:19But what produces a superior outcome where the real victory
- 17:25is, is your alignment in the Spirit to find out, to fetch the
- 17:29things that you believe, to edit the things that you believe.
- 17:33Are we together now? Yes.
- 17:36So the Bible calls it the hearing of faith.
- 17:39There is believing unto failure. There is believing unto victory.
- 17:44It's in your Bible. Romans chapter 10.
- 17:47Give us from verse 8, please. Romans chapter 10 from verse 8
- 17:52the Bible says the word is 90 in thy mountain, in thy heart.
- 17:56The Word of Faith which we preach.
- 17:58Verse 9 it says that if thou shalt confess with your mouth
- 18:02the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt believe with your heart.
- 18:06Notice it does not stop there. He tells you the information If
- 18:10you believe Jesus was a good man, you are not saved.
- 18:14If you believe Jesus heal the sick, you are not saved by it.
- 18:17No, that's not the information that translate to salvation.
- 18:21It is not every information about Jesus that saves.
- 18:24No, there are things demons believe about Jesus.
- 18:29You have to believe an exact information that God raised him
- 18:34from the dead. That is the information
- 18:36connected to salvation. Are we together?
- 18:41Here's the law verse 10. It says For with the heart man
- 18:45believes unto unto. You can believe unto anything.
- 18:50Believing is a vehicle it takes you somewhere.
- 18:53A man believes unto righteousness with the same
- 18:56heart man believes unto failure. With the same heart man believes
- 19:01unto weakness, believes unto defeat.
- 19:03So when Satan wants to make a people fail, he does not fight
- 19:07their believing. He finds the information that
- 19:10becomes the basis of the believing who understands so
- 19:13far. And this is what God wants to
- 19:15correct in this conference for many of us, you have been
- 19:19believing the zeal with which you are believed a lie.
- 19:22If only that edition can happen, you will produce victory almost
- 19:27in an instant. The problem is not lack of zeal.
- 19:30The problem is the content. Are we learning?
- 19:36Praise the name of the Lord? So the challenge with many
- 19:41believers is that the information they have believed
- 19:46is not the truth. And so it fails to deliver
- 19:49power, it fails to deliver victory.
- 19:52And you know why many believers get frustrated?
- 19:55They get frustrated because they actually do the believing.
- 19:59So they wonder why. So the theology until now has
- 20:02been once you believe, you should get a result.
- 20:05And I'm telling you, they are right.
- 20:08But the believing can bring results of failure.
- 20:10The believing did not fail. It was programmed.
- 20:13The information you injected into the belief system produce
- 20:18the failure. My life changed when I
- 20:24discovered that the problem was not with believing.
- 20:27It's the content. I can tell you this.
- 20:30Getting the knowledge that makes you win is warfare.
- 20:34That's where Satan will fight you.
- 20:35Did you hear what I said? I used to think Satan really
- 20:40fights people. At the point of prayer.
- 20:43I found out that that's not really where the warfare is.
- 20:45The greatest warfare in your life will be access to truth.
- 20:50You want to see warfare. Satan will fight anything that
- 20:54shortens your distance to truth because that's where victory is.
- 20:58You shall know the truth. If you pray with the truth, you
- 21:02will win. If you speak the truth, you will
- 21:04win. If you believe the truth, you
- 21:06will win. It's not the praying, it's not
- 21:09the speaking, It's not the believing is that the content
- 21:13must be the truth. If it is not the truth, you will
- 21:16only recycle failure. Who understands me so far?
- 21:20There are preachers who believe, but what they believe is a lie.
- 21:24There are sincere people who believe, but what they believe
- 21:27is a lie. It's not 'cause they intend to
- 21:31win, they intend to be victorious.
- 21:33They've exhausted everything they know to do, but their
- 21:36results keep telling them that there's something wrong with the
- 21:40content. When God wants to help a man, I
- 21:43tell you how he helps a man. It's beyond giving you a car in
- 21:46a house. He shortens the distance between
- 21:49you and light. The distance between you and
- 21:53access to light is a real miracle of mercy.
- 21:56When God wants to show a man mercy, hear me again.
- 21:59He shortens the distance between you and light.
- 22:03Either a custodian of it or He opens your understanding that
- 22:07you may understand Scripture. Next time you are asking for
- 22:11Messi, don't just think of a destiny helper coming.
- 22:14That's wonderful. The greatest demonstration of
- 22:18Messi, second only to salvation, is God shortening the distance
- 22:22between you and truth. Because when you find the truth
- 22:26and know the truth and believe the truth and respond to the
- 22:30truth based on the authority of the Scripture, you will be free.
- 22:40Is someone learning there is a truth?
- 22:45Your results will tell us the quality of the content you have
- 22:49believed. The result eventually will tell
- 22:54us the truth was buried, but after three days it came back to
- 23:01life because truth cannot die. Is someone learning?
- 23:07Now lift your hands in one minute and say, Lord, open my
- 23:10eyes, open my eyes, let me have access to the truth.
- 23:15Not what is popular, not what I've known all my life.
- 23:19Someone pray, someone pray. Grant me access to superior
- 23:23light. The Bible says God made many
- 23:26lights. There was a light that ruled in
- 23:29the day. There was a light that ruled in
- 23:31the night. Then he made the stars.
- 23:33Also a desperate believer who came for this conference.
- 23:37Lift your hands to the heavens and cry from the depth of your
- 23:40heart for the next one minute as a preacher, as a businessman, as
- 23:44a parent, as a pastor. Lord, I'm I'm ready to step into
- 23:49high level illumination. Now I'm diagnosing where the
- 23:53result. Problem is, it's not my
- 23:55believing. Yes Lord, in Jesus name we pray,
- 24:11in Jesus name we pray. So please don't lose touch.
- 24:14I'm trying to establish a few things.
- 24:15It's important we get these foundations right.
- 24:19A quick recap. I said your victory in the
- 24:21Kingdom depends on faith. You still have that in your
- 24:23mind. Without faith, there is no
- 24:26victory for the believer. It says this is the victory that
- 24:29overcomes the world, even our faith.
- 24:33But that faith, what we call faith, is an aggregate of many
- 24:37variables. Speaking, believing, access to
- 24:42knowledge. Are we together?
- 24:44And we're zooming down on believing in, diagnosing what
- 24:47the problem is. We're saying the problem is
- 24:49really not a believing problem. The problem is that the content
- 24:55we have believed is not the truth.
- 24:57It's not superior light. That's the reason why it's not
- 25:01produced the result that the word of God says should produce.
- 25:05Now let's discuss the hearing of faith.
- 25:08You only get Bible results if you're writing.
- 25:11Please write this down. You only get Bible results when
- 25:15you believe the truth of God's word.
- 25:17You only get Bible results when you believe the truth of God's
- 25:23word. Believe in popular opinion may
- 25:26comfort you for the moment, but I'm telling you it will not
- 25:29produce Bible result only the truth of God's word is that
- 25:33sanctify them by thy truth. Thy word is truth.
- 25:38You only get Bible results when you believe the truth of God's
- 25:43word. So a man can believe and yet
- 25:47believe wrongly. A man can believe a lie
- 25:51sincerely. So listen.
- 25:54There was a woman in Luke chapter 12.
- 25:58I'll just read out the story for your heart forsake of time.
- 26:02Jesus gets into the temple one day, perhaps for a conference
- 26:06such as this, and he meets a woman who had been banned.
- 26:09Do you know that woman came to church?
- 26:11Every time she heard something, there was something she heard.
- 26:16The day she heard something else, she got healed
- 26:19immediately. So the problem was her
- 26:21attendance was right, Her believing was right, but
- 26:25something was wrong with her preacher.
- 26:27There was something. And Jesus in diagnosing her
- 26:30condition rebuked the preacher. He said there was something you
- 26:33never told this woman. So he met the woman bound and
- 26:38the Bible says he said, woman, you are loosed from your
- 26:43infirmity, you are loosed. No one had told her that loosed
- 26:50was I bound. I just thought it was a
- 26:52condition I found myself. Maybe was the will of God here
- 26:56Jesus, the way, the truth, the light he comes to her and here's
- 27:00how he set her free. He said woman, thou art loosed
- 27:04from your infirmity. He lays hands on her to
- 27:07straighten her up and then the Bible says immediately she was
- 27:11made straight and glorified. God, are we together now?
- 27:15Now the people got angry and they came and then they began to
- 27:18probe into him and they were saying all kinds of things don't
- 27:21heal on a Sabbath day. You know all those kinds of
- 27:23statements and Jesus makes a profound reply response to them.
- 27:28He says, ought not this woman being a daughter of?
- 27:35Now he's introducing something this woman has not heard in her
- 27:39sermons or not. This woman, if you are taught,
- 27:43had the implication of being a daughter of Abraham.
- 27:46Do you know what that means? A daughter of Abraham means that
- 27:49you have access to partake of the blessings of Abraham.
- 27:53You know what the blessings of Abraham is, to be justified by
- 27:56faith, to receive credited to you what you do not merit.
- 28:00If you had taught this woman that she was the daughter of
- 28:04Abraham, and then you have taught her that the person
- 28:07responsible for that condition was Satan.
- 28:10It was Satan that bound her, not God.
- 28:14And she had been bound for 18 years.
- 28:16Perhaps she would have remained there for the rest of her life.
- 28:19If that woman wrote a book for you to read, she would have said
- 28:22God was responsible for the sickness.
- 28:24The problem of teaching her believing was wrong.
- 28:29The moment the information changed her results to change.
- 28:34Are we together? Yes.
- 28:41When you want to change people you change the information
- 28:45because something they heard is why they are there.
- 28:49The Bible says the people that sat in darkness pastor the
- 28:53problem is not their position. They did not even know they were
- 28:57in darkness. Like a baby does not know it's a
- 28:59baby until it grows Is when you look at your baby picture you
- 29:03will know no baby knows it's a baby.
- 29:05No, the people that sat in darkness to sit means they were
- 29:09at ease. They sat there in darkness, in
- 29:12ignorance, in poverty, in failure, with all kinds of
- 29:16theological excuses. The Bible says to them, which
- 29:20are around the regions of the shadow of death, light has
- 29:23sprung up. Someone say light.
- 29:26Shout it like you are receiving say light.
- 29:29Yes Sir, when Peter was in the prison in Acts chapter 12, the
- 29:35Bible says in verse four and five that when Herod was about
- 29:39to give him the next day to be killed like James was beheaded,
- 29:43the Bible says verse 5 that prayer was made without season
- 29:49to the church unto God for him. Now follow carefully verse 6.
- 29:53The Bible says an Angel came. Are we together now verse?
- 29:57Let's go to verse 7. Verse 7.
- 29:59Very quickly the Angel of the Lord came.
- 30:02What happened next? Light shined in the prison.
- 30:05It can't be without light if it will produce victory and
- 30:10deliverance. You would ask what was light
- 30:12doing in the prison? Light.
- 30:15When light comes to the prison, it can set any man free Light.
- 30:20The Bible says a woman had 10 treasures, silver, and one was
- 30:25missing. It was in the room, but she
- 30:28could not find it. The first thing she did was to
- 30:30light the candle and then she used the broom to sweep.
- 30:35Eventually she found it. I'm praying for someone in the
- 30:38name of Jesus that beginning from September until the end of
- 30:42the year for you it will be a journey into true light.
- 30:48That beginning from this conference, some of you will go
- 30:51to the foundation of the information you have believed.
- 30:55It doesn't matter how long it stayed there.
- 30:57It's time to become disloyal to anything that is inconsistent
- 31:02with the Word of God. That's where the warfare is.
- 31:04What you have believed has empowered Satan or stopped him
- 31:09from finding access to your life.
- 31:11And I'm praying for you in the name of Jesus, let light shine
- 31:14upon you. Shine upon your mind, shine upon
- 31:18your spirit in the name of Jesus.
- 31:21Someone shout, I receive light like you believe it.
- 31:25Say I receive light. There is this.
- 31:32There is an information that preacher does not need an attack
- 31:36again, he will fail. It's a programming.
- 31:40There's an information another preacher can know.
- 31:43He remains a winner forever. There's an information an
- 31:47ordinary person can know in Lagos and in one year the Bible
- 31:53says for we know that all things our advantage is what we know.
- 31:58Did you hear what I said? We are a chosen generation, a
- 32:02royal priesthood. Talk to me believers, a peculiar
- 32:05people Now listen, it says we have been called forth from out
- 32:10of darkness into. What?
- 32:13What were you called into? Talk to me.
- 32:16What were you called into? That's your domain of victory.
- 32:20Light, Light, Light you take away light.
- 32:24Leave every other thing you are in defeat.
- 32:27Light. Our advantage is that we have
- 32:31access to marvelous light. Marvelous light.
- 32:37Now let's talk about correct believing, the hearing of faith.
- 32:47I want to do just dramatize for you in one minute the pathway of
- 32:53a believer, just in a minute, from infancy until you attend
- 32:58unto maturity. Somewhere in this illustration
- 33:04is where you are right now, no matter where you are in the
- 33:07spirit. So the journey to victory
- 33:10starts. Please listen.
- 33:13It starts with hearing the gospel as an unbeliever.
- 33:17Anyone who's not made Jesus Lord of their life is considered
- 33:21unsaved. Are we together?
- 33:23Yes. Not unimportant, but unsaved
- 33:26with respect to His eternal destiny.
- 33:30So the Bible teaches that when you hear the gospel of
- 33:32salvation, the lordship of Christ, his substitutionary
- 33:36sacrifice, and you believe placing your faith on his
- 33:40finished work, the Bible says a transition happens to you
- 33:43according to the authority of Scripture.
- 33:46Do you believe that feeling or no feeling?
- 33:48There is an instant translation from the Kingdom of darkness
- 33:52into God's Kingdom of light. Are we together?
- 33:55And three gifts are given to you immediately at the point of
- 33:58salvation. Number one is the forgiveness of
- 34:01sin #2 is the gift of righteousness #3 is access to
- 34:06the life of God. These are the three gifts that
- 34:08come to every believer at the point of receiving Jesus, our
- 34:13Savior and Lord. Now the name given to that
- 34:17person who just got saved is a believer, but an infant.
- 34:21I'm taking our time to run it so that you can understand.
- 34:24You are a believer, but from a standpoint of maturity and
- 34:27stature, you are called an infant.
- 34:31Are we together? And in this case, you are not an
- 34:34infant just because of age. You are an infant because the
- 34:38life that you have received now in experience cannot profit you
- 34:42because it is knowledge activated, So the Bible says, as
- 34:46little children. It says to desire the sincere
- 34:48milk of the Word that you may grow.
- 34:51It says to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus our Lord,
- 34:55and so on and so forth. Are we together now?
- 34:58Now what happens? And, and this and This is why
- 35:00I'm giving the illustration. I think at the end of this
- 35:06illustration you will thank God for your pastor and for those of
- 35:10you who are under a ministry like this, you will give God
- 35:13glory. Because you see, two people can
- 35:16be saved the same day, perhaps the same crusade.
- 35:21But the advantage to the one versus the other as far as they
- 35:25are producing victory is concerned will depend among many
- 35:29factors to the quality of the teaching priest that raises
- 35:34them. Is someone hearing what I'm
- 35:36saying, that a very well-intentioned, sincere
- 35:40believer can be so unfortunate to sit under a pastor, a man of
- 35:47God, who may not necessarily be evil, He may just be that he's
- 35:50full of wrong information and not knowing how to methodically
- 35:54build and raise an individual, that person will absorb all
- 35:58kinds of error passionately and begin to churn out the results
- 36:03from that information. This is what has happened to
- 36:05many people. They are they are not insincere.
- 36:09They are some of the nicest people you've met and yet their
- 36:12results continue to frustrate the grace of God.
- 36:15The problem most times when you get.
- 36:17Saved. You are introduced to three
- 36:20ministries. These three ministries begin
- 36:23your journey to maturity and stature #1 you are introduced to
- 36:27the ministry of the Holy Spirit #2 you are introduced to the
- 36:31ministry of the world #3 you are introduced to the ministry of a
- 36:36teaching priest. If any of these three fails, you
- 36:40will fail the moment you get born again.
- 36:44These are the three ministries that begin to journey you to
- 36:48maturity, transformation, empowerment until you become a
- 36:52witness again #1 the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
- 36:56I have many things to tell you, Jesus said, but He cannot bear
- 36:59them now. How be it when He, the Spirit of
- 37:02truth is come, He will guide you into all truth, into all truth
- 37:11#2 the ministry of the world. Acts 2032 And now, brethren, I
- 37:16commend you to God, and to the word of His grace, which is able
- 37:20to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among them that
- 37:25are sanctified, and that from a child thou has known the Holy
- 37:28Scripture which is able to make you wise unto salvation.
- 37:33You encounter the ministry of the Holy Spirit, you encounter
- 37:37the ministry of the world, and then you encounter the ministry
- 37:40of the teaching priest. Jeremiah 315 And I will give you
- 37:44pastors or shepherds according to my heart.
- 37:47They will feed you with knowledge, and they will feed
- 37:51you with understanding. When the utopian Enoch mounted
- 37:57his chariot on his way to Jerusalem, the Bible says he was
- 38:01reading and he had no understanding.
- 38:03Philip was instructed to join his chariot.
- 38:06And then the man looked at Philip and said, please tell me
- 38:09of whom did this scripture speak?
- 38:10Is it the writer or someone else?
- 38:13And he asked him understanding what thou readest?
- 38:16And he replied, he said, how can I accept some man?
- 38:19Show me it will always take a man.
- 38:22Every house is built by some man, even though God is the
- 38:25builder of all. Are we together?
- 38:29So you are as fortunate as the quality of the pastor you come
- 38:34under, you are raised under. There are many sincere people,
- 38:38many great many. And sadly, I hate to say that
- 38:41about the body of Christ, but some of them found themselves
- 38:44under graces and under teachings and under men.
- 38:48Are we together? And, and the worst of is that
- 38:51the sometimes the pastors are well-intentioned.
- 38:55Imagine someone who is not able to drive, but he's so passionate
- 38:58about taking you where you need to go to.
- 39:00He brings a cancer. Look, it is love that is
- 39:03motivating me. Get into the car now.
- 39:05You see love that if the person kills you, he did not kill you
- 39:11because of hatred. He didn't kill you because of
- 39:13witchcraft. He killed you because of
- 39:15ignorance. If you are looking for a good
- 39:18driver, find a driver first, then look for a good one.
- 39:25Are we together? It's important.
- 39:30Now when you find a teaching priest, Do you know why that is
- 39:34important? Because we're now discussing the
- 39:36subject of faith and we know according to Scripture that
- 39:40faith comes and that it comes by hearing.
- 39:44So the one who really imparts faith in your life is not just
- 39:48God. It's not just the Holy Spirit is
- 39:51the one who's been instructed to raise you in righteousness.
- 39:56He can literally, this is a kind of power God give man of God.
- 40:00You can redefine a man's spiritual possibilities by the
- 40:04quality of spiritual information you bring.
- 40:08That's why I'm telling all of you who are under this ministry
- 40:10and disgrace, thank God. Thank God for access to light,
- 40:16access to truth. Are we Together?
- 40:23You can see the gaps in the knowledge of believers.
- 40:26When they face trouble, they call everything the Bible says
- 40:30to call blood of Jesus Holy Ghost, fire torch and agree
- 40:35seed. They don't know which one
- 40:36produces what. They just know that somewhere
- 40:38one has to walk. And so instead of taking that
- 40:41risk, there's an emergency in front of me.
- 40:43I don't care which one walks. Even if I'm making a mistake, I
- 40:47will get one right. If the blood of Jesus fails to
- 40:50deliver for me, at least the word of God or the Holy Ghost or
- 40:53whatever. I mean, they just try the thing
- 40:55and the danger is that one will walk.
- 40:58So they don't know which one and they cannot come into a realm of
- 41:01mastery. They can't tell how they won, so
- 41:04they can't teach others. They just know that something
- 41:06happened here and there. And I prayed, I said a lot of
- 41:10things. I can't remember which one
- 41:12directly was responsible for my victory.
- 41:15No, the Bible say he that strives for mastery is not
- 41:19crowned unless he strives lawfully.
- 41:22You must know what truth produces, what outcomes.
- 41:25That way you can become a blessing when you see people in
- 41:28trouble with a with a surgeon's precision, you can know that
- 41:32this is the body of information connected to your answer.
- 41:36Who is learning tonight? The hearing of faith?
- 41:44Let's talk about it. Quickly.
- 41:47What is the hearing of faith? The Bible says the working of
- 41:50miracles comes by the hearing of faith.
- 41:56The hearing of faith defines the entire process.
- 42:01Now listen and then you write. The hearing of faith defines the
- 42:06entire process that leads to your accessing light from the
- 42:11Word, believing the truths, daring and receiving results
- 42:17from acting on those truths. When the Bible talks about the
- 42:20hearing of faith, it's not just talking about the ear.
- 42:23He's describing the entire process that leads to your
- 42:29accessing light from the Word. You're believing the truth
- 42:33therein and then you're receiving results from acting on
- 42:38those truths. That's what the Bible calls the
- 42:40hearing of faith. So it's it's the entire process
- 42:44from the arrival of what based information to your believing
- 42:51and then you're obtaining results from that truth by
- 42:55acting upon it. That's what the Bible calls the
- 42:57hearing of faith. And in teaching us about the
- 43:00hearing of faith, the Bible tells us to be mindful of two
- 43:04things. I'll say that very quickly and
- 43:06then we'll find somewhere to pray.
- 43:07Number one, what you hear, what you hear In teaching us about
- 43:14the hearing of faith, the Bible cautions us to watch for the
- 43:18things that we hear. Mark chapter 4, please, from
- 43:23verse 23 and 24. Mark chapter 423 and 24.
- 43:29The Bible says, if any man have ears to hear, let him, let him,
- 43:37let him. Verse 24.
- 43:41And he said unto them, take heed what you hear.
- 43:47It's a word of caution as you sojourn, your hearing is
- 43:51connected to your bright believing, and your right
- 43:54believing is connected to your victory.
- 43:57And so he said, take responsibility.
- 44:00It is your responsibility to work in partnership with the
- 44:03spirit of grace to take heed the things that you hear, the
- 44:07correctness of what you hear, the correctness of the
- 44:11information. Oh look, I can spend all night
- 44:14telling you how miraculous the life of a believer can become if
- 44:19you hear the right things, if you hear the truth.
- 44:23Hallelujah. I have the honor of leading many
- 44:26to Jesus. And you know, sometimes I am
- 44:29surprised that as we take many truths about salvation for
- 44:32granted, there are people who have never had it the way it was
- 44:35presented. They've generally had that
- 44:38Jesus, that Jesus somewhere died.
- 44:40I didn't ask him to die for me. I mean, whatever he died.
- 44:43But once you take the time and let them see the extent of His
- 44:47love, upon hearing that truth presented by the power of the
- 44:52Holy Ghost, you see them rushing to Jesus.
- 44:55Hallelujah. Ought not this woman please look
- 44:58up? What do you know about victory
- 45:02and who taught you? What do you know about Satan and
- 45:07who taught you? What do you know?
- 45:09Now? I'm speaking apostolically.
- 45:10I'm speaking beyond this church. What do you know about failure
- 45:15and who taught you? What do you know about success
- 45:19and who taught you? What do you know about wealth
- 45:22and prosperity and who taught you?
- 45:24What do you know about not giving up about hope and who
- 45:28taught you? What do you know about the name
- 45:30of Jesus and who taught you? This is where your victory lies.
- 45:34So after this teaching, you don't just shout Amen, you go
- 45:37back and begin to probe. Something is wrong.
- 45:40There's something I don't believe about Jesus.
- 45:43I need to correct this. I hope you know the Bible says
- 45:47there is, as it were, many voices and none of them is
- 45:50without signification. Your yesterday has a voice, it
- 45:54is helping you believe something.
- 45:56Your today has a voice, it is helping you believe something.
- 45:59Social media has a voice, it is helping you believe something.
- 46:03My goodness that social media, you see it has voices.
- 46:06In fact, it has turned wise people to fools because of
- 46:12something you believe. And truthfully speaking, it's
- 46:16done foolish people to be wise because of something they heard.
- 46:20Is someone learning now? Yes, there are many people whose
- 46:25destruction started the day they heard.
- 46:29When he came to Adam and Eve, the Bible says they had the
- 46:33voice of the Lord walking in the cool of the day.
- 46:35As soon as he came, he said, Adam, where are thou?
- 46:39Adam said I heard your voice, but I hid because I was naked.
- 46:42Next question. Who?
- 46:44Told you. You have opened up yourself to
- 46:46an information, something that was not part of my programming
- 46:51has rewired you again. I want to ask you a question.
- 46:54Who told you? Who told you you will never make
- 46:58it? Who told you because of your
- 47:00yesterday? Who told you because of perhaps
- 47:02your class of degree? Who told you?
- 47:07And we live in a world where people say all kinds of things
- 47:10that are not consistent with God's word.
- 47:12I have the power to lift you, they say.
- 47:15I have the power to bring you down.
- 47:16Question. Who told you?
- 47:18Have you not heard that I have spoken once and twice?
- 47:21Have you heard that power belonged to the Lord?
- 47:24Have you forgotten that Scripture?
- 47:28Hallelujah, you hear people, our arrogant world, people beat
- 47:33their chest and say by tomorrow I will deal with you.
- 47:35Do you not know that when all men sleep, the power to wake up
- 47:38is not in the hand of any man? Truly the Sammy said I lay me
- 47:42down, I slept, but the reason why I waked was because the Lord
- 47:47sustained me the power of right believing.
- 47:51Can I tell you, you must make it a project as proof that you are
- 47:55disinterested in your destiny To begin to rearrange the content
- 48:00of your believing, Let me share with you a few things.
- 48:05I believe Deuteronomy 28 one and two, that if I diligently
- 48:10hearken to the voice of the Lord my God to do and observe all
- 48:14these things, that this blessing shall come upon me and overtake
- 48:18me. I believe it.
- 48:19I will be exalted above all the nations of the earth.
- 48:22Do you believe that? I believe that when men say
- 48:27there is a casting down for me, my testimony is that there is a
- 48:31lifting up. I believe it.
- 48:33I'm not just saying it to you because I'm on stage preaching.
- 48:36I believe it. I believe it.
- 48:38I believe that death and life are in the power of my tongue,
- 48:41not any other person's tongue. No death and life is is between
- 48:45me and God. Hallelujah, I will make the
- 48:50mistake of job realities, will not be discourse over my
- 48:53destiny, and I'll be silent. I must be a contributor to that
- 48:57conversation. Nobody will conclude on
- 49:00anything. Then I become a victim.
- 49:02If it must grow in my garden, must see my seed must be
- 49:06represented, and that every tree I meet in my garden that's not
- 49:10been planted by my father, am I not his battle axe?
- 49:14I will uproot that tree in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 49:20Hallelujah. Perception, perception.
- 49:24There's a popular story about a man who later on would be found
- 49:29to be deaf. He was climbing a high altitude
- 49:33and the ladder from the story was not so strong.
- 49:36But the man kept climbing. Eventually the people, all kinds
- 49:40of people, gathered around sympathizing with him, looking
- 49:42forward to when he will fall down.
- 49:45And he would turn back and look at them.
- 49:46Some of them were beckoning on him and he thought they were
- 49:49encouraging him. So he kept climbing.
- 49:52And when he got there, eventually, you know, was it an
- 49:54award or something he won. When they brought him down and
- 49:57probed into why he won, they found out he was deaf, so he was
- 50:04not hearing what they were saying.
- 50:06So he his mind was interpreting. They're calling him that was
- 50:09they're cheering him up and so he kept going up.
- 50:12Perception is powerful. Something you can hear will stop
- 50:16you from praying. Somebody will preach to you and
- 50:19say prayer is not necessary and that kills your spiritual life.
- 50:22Someone will say just use common sense, this word of God, this
- 50:26church thing and you, you stop the formula that's already
- 50:29producing victory. Someone say I choose shout.
- 50:34He say I choose to believe the word of God.
- 50:38Say I choose to exalt the word of God above and beyond every
- 50:44other information. Say it again.
- 50:46Say I choose to believe the word of God.
- 50:51I choose to exalt the word of God above.
- 50:56And beyond every other information, yes Sir.
- 51:02Yes, Sir, Yes, Sir. You wake up in the morning.
- 51:06This is the day that the Lord has made, not the Lord and
- 51:09Satan. I don't expect his contribution
- 51:12in my day. It is the Lord that made the
- 51:14day. You want to know what happens
- 51:16when God makes a thing? Go to Genesis chapter 1,
- 51:19whatever he makes. His good.
- 51:21I expect my day to be good. That's my orientation.
- 51:25If for any reason I meet darkness, I have a
- 51:28responsibility to fight the fight of faith.
- 51:32Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
- 51:37You see, your speaking is supposed to be derived from your
- 51:40conviction. The real key to speaking is an
- 51:45overflow of meditation that you stayed with The word is
- 51:49swallowed you, is consumed you, and then you speak.
- 51:55I'm blessed in the city. The Bible says you are blessed
- 51:58in your going in and blessed in your coming out.
- 52:02I don't have the time. I would have told you there are
- 52:04people who are only blessed when they go out.
- 52:07They are not blessed when they come in.
- 52:10For instance, they are not blessed in Nigeria, but they can
- 52:13be blessed if they go to America.
- 52:15Congratulations for them. But me, I am blessed in my going
- 52:18out. I am blessed in my coming in.
- 52:21I am blessed in the city. Are we together?
- 52:25It is true. It's true.
- 52:29Hallelujah that they that desire to eat up my flesh.
- 52:32They stumbled and they fell. Because his jealousy protects
- 52:38me. The Bible says he stands behind
- 52:40me as a mighty terrible one. This is this is your believing.
- 52:45This is your believing. This is what I believe.
- 52:48I can fail alone, but me and God cannot fail.
- 52:52No, no, Sir. No, Sir.
- 52:54No, Sir. No, Sir.
- 52:56No, Sir. He's the winning factor in my
- 52:58life. I can fail as a person.
- 53:01You take God out of my life. This is all that you will see.
- 53:03I don't amount to much. But when you bring him as part
- 53:06of that equation, No, Sir. The calculation changes.
- 53:12Do you believe this? Yes, I believe I'm a blessing.
- 53:18I really do. I don't believe I'm a nuisance
- 53:21to anybody. No, no.
- 53:23If I come into your life, rejoice.
- 53:25I brought many things to your life.
- 53:27I brought presents. I brought favor.
- 53:29I brought power. I brought wisdom.
- 53:32Believe it. Believe it.
- 53:35This is no motivation. There is an energy that
- 53:39believing carries. Hallelujah.
- 53:43Praise the name of the Lord. My living is by choice.
- 53:51Transition will be by choice. I can't live by choice and then
- 53:56live by force. It's not out of fear.
- 54:00There's much to be done. This is what I believe.
- 54:05Hallelujah. I believe as a man of God that I
- 54:08would never raise a people who are just spiritually vibrant
- 54:11alone. I believe I will raise kings.
- 54:14I believe I will raise nobles. This is what I believe.
- 54:17Genesis 17 and verse 6, give it to us.
- 54:20We're about to pray. Genesis 17 and verse 6.
- 54:26And I will make the exceeding fruitful, and I will make
- 54:30nations of thee. And kings shall come out, not
- 54:34that they will come into they will come out of thee.
- 54:36This is what I believe. I believe that my heart is
- 54:41indicted a good matter that yeah, I speak of excellent
- 54:44things. I believe that my tongue is a
- 54:46pen of a ready writer. That if you hear me beyond the
- 54:50frailty of my words, there is power that penetrates into your
- 54:54spirit and changes your life. I believe it.
- 54:58I believe it, I believe it. Listen, my dear sister, my dear
- 55:05brother, it's time for you to short every other voice that is
- 55:10inconsistent with the Word of God.
- 55:12Don't let some loser, some naysayer, people who are
- 55:14frustrated with their own lives, transfer your aggression in
- 55:18prophecy to your destiny. It's time to take charge of your
- 55:21atmosphere and if it does not reflect the Word of God,
- 55:25respectfully draw away from it. You go to an office and someone
- 55:31calls you stupid, calls you idiots.
- 55:33You may not have the power to reply them there, but in your
- 55:35heart have a spiritual migration system.
- 55:39Nothing just enters. You can say, wait, who gave you
- 55:42the permission? I came as an arrow that was shot
- 55:47the scorching tongues of men. And you still stand there by the
- 55:50Scripture. No, you cannot find access to my
- 55:53life. My life is Beulah and Hefzibah.
- 55:56I am the planting of the Lord. The planting of the Lord.
- 56:02Are we together? This is what I believe.
- 56:05I believe I carry the favor of God and that I release that
- 56:09favor everywhere I go. Everybody say I'm favored.
- 56:13Say it again. Say I believe.
- 56:16It doesn't matter whether you have a job or not.
- 56:18It doesn't matter whether your finances are working or not.
- 56:21I'm showing you how it works. The Bible says be careful what
- 56:26you believe matters. It is true that the whole world
- 56:30lies in wickedness. It is true that there are
- 56:33curses. It is true that there are
- 56:35spells. It is true that there are wicked
- 56:37men. But it's also true.
- 56:38The Bible says thanks be to God, which causes us always to
- 56:42triumph. Do you believe that?
- 56:44It is also true that I've been raised up with Christ, called
- 56:47out of every tribe and every tongue and every nation, have
- 56:51been exalted, been made to sit with Christ far above
- 56:55principalities and powers. It is true.
- 56:59It is true. The Bible says, say to the
- 57:01righteous, I am the righteous, I get up in the morning, I
- 57:04prophecy upon myself in the name of Jesus, it is well with me, It
- 57:09is well with me. My going out, my coming in is
- 57:12well with me. The Bible says the steps of a
- 57:14good man are ordered by the Lord in the name of Jesus.
- 57:17The wisdom of the Spirit directed me part time.
- 57:21Even in the midst of your confusion, believe you are still
- 57:24being LED. Listen, listen, the moment you
- 57:29believe you are being LED, God takes responsibility over your
- 57:34direction. Let me tell you how powerful
- 57:36following the leadership of the Holy Spirit by faith is.
- 57:40If this is where God wants you to go, listen.
- 57:43If this is where God wants you to go and you innocently turn
- 57:47this way, but believe Him that He led you, He will remove that
- 57:51door and put it here to make sure you don't fail.
- 57:55Most of you don't know how powerful God is.
- 57:59He's a defender of his integrity.
- 58:02Let me make that illustration again that this is the way to
- 58:05go. But you turn this way innocently
- 58:09believing that he led you. He will take responsibility and
- 58:13shift that door right here. I speak to someone.
- 58:16May that door open for you. I'm open for you.
- 58:21Let it open for you in the next. You will walk upon your high
- 58:26places by the Spirit. Hallelujah.
- 58:37Be careful what you hear. Please be seated.
- 58:41Please be seated. We're going to pray shortly.
- 58:43Be careful. Don't wake up in the morning and
- 58:47get busy and ignore the word of God just smuggling something
- 58:52into your mind and expect an enviable destiny.
- 58:55No, Sir. No, Sir.
- 58:58An individual who does not eat is called malnourished.
- 59:00You are the risk of any and all kinds of things.
- 59:03Medical science will tell us when your immunity is down.
- 59:06Nothing specific has to kill you.
- 59:08That state alone will deplete you until you die.
- 59:11That's the way it is spiritually.
- 59:14You see, when Satan comes into your life, I don't have the time
- 59:18to teach you how Satan attacks. He does not just say I am coming
- 59:22to attack Paso and his wife. No, no, no.
- 59:25Before Satan attacks, he studies the word formation in your life
- 59:30and he looks at the gaps in your spiritual understanding.
- 59:34That becomes how he attacks you. That's why weapons are
- 59:37fashioned. They are fashioned after your
- 59:39ignorance. Are we together now?
- 59:41Yes. So he doesn't just come into
- 59:44your life as our produce failure.
- 59:45No. If Satan wants to make you poor,
- 59:48he doesn't just come and say you'll be poor.
- 59:50No, no. What about God's financial
- 59:53system? Don't you understand That
- 59:55becomes His look for He will create a stronghold around that
- 59:59faulty belief. Say I'm a blessing.
- 1:00:08Say it like you believe it. Yes, you are no job yet, but you
- 1:00:13are a blessing. Hallelujah.
- 1:00:17Yes, believe that with all your heart.
- 1:00:20Be convinced. We're not talking of some
- 1:00:23arrogant display. We're talking of settled
- 1:00:25confidence. You know you are a blessing.
- 1:00:28You know you are a blessing. You know how therapeutic this is
- 1:00:31in this world where you get up in the morning and by evening
- 1:00:35somebody has said something that damages your confidence.
- 1:00:38Say it again. I'm a blessing.
- 1:00:40The devil did not hear you. I am the planting of the Lord.
- 1:00:48Yes, the Bible says that in old age I shall be fat and I shall
- 1:00:55be flourishing. Do you believe that?
- 1:00:59Let me give you the other part. And then we pray we're out of
- 1:01:02time. So the Bible says in manifesting
- 1:01:09Bible faith and in helping your believing, the Bible cautions
- 1:01:14that we pay attention to the correctness of what we hear.
- 1:01:19The correctness. Go back and begin to probe your
- 1:01:23understanding. Go back and begin to listen to
- 1:01:26the messages that your pastor has taught.
- 1:01:29What did he teach on faith? What did he teach on power?
- 1:01:33Go back and listen again because faith comes by hearing.
- 1:01:38Are we together now? Yes #2 the Bible tells us to
- 1:01:45now. Be careful how we hear, not just
- 1:01:48what we hear, what we hear talks about the content, the
- 1:01:53superiority of the content. But now he talks about how we
- 1:01:57hear Luke chapter 8 from verse 18.
- 1:02:00If it's possible, let's look at it from the amplified rendition
- 1:02:04and then we'll find something to pray.
- 1:02:05We'll find somewhere to pray. Luke 8 and verse 18 it says Be
- 1:02:14careful therefore how you listen.
- 1:02:19For unto him that has spiritual knowledge will more be given,
- 1:02:23and from him who does not have spiritual knowledge, even what
- 1:02:25he thinks and guesses and supposes that he has will be
- 1:02:30taken away. So the first part of it in the
- 1:02:34hearing of faith has to do with the correctness of your content.
- 1:02:39And the truth is that a student really does not know whether the
- 1:02:43information is correct or not. He has to trust the integrity of
- 1:02:46the lecturer and trust the witness of the Spirit.
- 1:02:50For the case of the believer, are we together now and then?
- 1:02:58How you hear this talks about your attitude?
- 1:03:02There is an attitude to receiving the Word of God.
- 1:03:05The Bible says we receive with meekness, not with arrogance,
- 1:03:09the engrafted word. I tell you why many people do
- 1:03:13not grow, they hear an information and they do not
- 1:03:16tremble at the word of God. Most times we come to church and
- 1:03:21sometimes we carry our exploits in the workplace and also bring
- 1:03:26it in church and we do not understand that spiritual things
- 1:03:30are higher and very different. Your intellectual exploit as
- 1:03:34commendable and profitable as it is when you come to the House of
- 1:03:38God, you must become a child in the presence of the Lord.
- 1:03:42So sometimes we use our intelligence and our ability to
- 1:03:46analyze and solve problems. We still recall the awards on
- 1:03:50our table. And when we sit before the Lord
- 1:03:53to listen and learn, most times we're just trying to
- 1:03:56intellectually sieve through everything that's been said to
- 1:04:00pick one or two things. That attitude of pride already
- 1:04:04robs us from the simplicity of the gospel, and the things that
- 1:04:08should lift us end up passing us without us knowing because
- 1:04:13sometimes Hallelujah, the Bible talks about being careful how
- 1:04:18you hear your attitude, your teachability, and then your
- 1:04:23swiftness to obey. Hebrews chapter 4 from verse one
- 1:04:27and two. I want us to pray.
- 1:04:28The Bible says, Let us fear lest a promise being left us of
- 1:04:35entering into his rest. Any of you should seem to come
- 1:04:39short of it. Verse 2.
- 1:04:40The Bible says, For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as
- 1:04:44unto them covenant nation. The Bible says But the word
- 1:04:48preached did not profit them. So the word was accurate, the
- 1:04:54preaching was accurate, but it still did not profit them.
- 1:04:57You know why? The Bible says it was not being
- 1:04:59mixed with faith in them that heard it.
- 1:05:04They heard it. The hearing was correct, but the
- 1:05:07state of your heart did not allow the word of God to thrive,
- 1:05:11to grow. In describing the soil of man's
- 1:05:14heart, the Bible uses all kinds of descriptions. 4 of them sunny
- 1:05:19ground, rocky ground, wayside, and then good soil.
- 1:05:24And for some, unfortunately, it did not grow.
- 1:05:27Some it did not thrive, others it did not even grow completely.
- 1:05:31But others produce 30 fold, 60 fold, and 100 fold.
- 1:05:37I'll tell you this, when I sit down to listen to the word, if
- 1:05:40at all it gets my attention, I derog myself immediately of any
- 1:05:46consciousness of being a man of God.
- 1:05:49And I sit. Quietly to learn, it doesn't
- 1:05:51matter if it's for me to the Holy Spirit has gotten my
- 1:05:54attention through their teaching.
- 1:05:55I will listen with openness of heart and it's amazing the
- 1:05:59things you learn. You must know how to learn and
- 1:06:02receive both vertically and horizontally.
- 1:06:05It comes from God, but it can also come from men.
- 1:06:07Children have taught me priceless lessons.
- 1:06:10Some in court nobodies have taught me priceless lessons.
- 1:06:15Are we together? Some of us only learn from those
- 1:06:18who are higher than us because there's a problem with meekness.
- 1:06:21And if you only learn from those higher than you, your learning
- 1:06:24will be very slow because there's something only those
- 1:06:27lower than you can see, and there's something only those
- 1:06:30lower than you can. Say.
- 1:06:34So to manifest a correct hearing that produces faith, you must be
- 1:06:39mindful of what you hear, what you hear #2 you must be mindful
- 1:06:47of how you hear. You can hear the right thing,
- 1:06:51but because you are not hearing with a perfect, broken and a
- 1:06:54contrite heart, it doesn't matter what your pastor says.
- 1:06:58He can shout, he can preach his heart.
- 1:07:00You'll be surprised. You will shout Amen.
- 1:07:02And it will not work. I'll tell you one of the
- 1:07:04greatest, one of the greatest blockages to the word of God
- 1:07:11penetrating the hearts of people is dishonor.
- 1:07:14Never forget this dishonor. Dishonor can extend from
- 1:07:17familiarity. It can extend from a know it all
- 1:07:20mentality. It can extend from a knowing
- 1:07:23only mentality. Are we together?
- 1:07:25Praise the name of the Lord by discharge.
- 1:07:29I'm praying that you will through this conference, develop
- 1:07:32a healthy appreciation for your pastors and your leaders that if
- 1:07:37you trust that they are from God, then when they stand on
- 1:07:40this puppy to bring you the word of life, you must.
- 1:07:43It doesn't matter if you live close to them.
- 1:07:45You know them. Maybe your colleagues in office
- 1:07:48de robe yourself of those things and listen.
- 1:07:50Be like Martha, sit quietly. Are we together?
- 1:07:54And then you, You will receive with all your heart.
- 1:08:02Be careful how you hear. Be careful what you hear.
- 1:08:08It will produce the hearing of faith, the believing that
- 1:08:12produces victory for someone, the assignment God is giving you
- 1:08:15from discharge. Tonight, go back home.
- 1:08:19Just try to summarize in a sheet of paper the things you believe,
- 1:08:24and you'll be surprised that for a very long time you believe
- 1:08:27they lie. Just write the things you
- 1:08:30believe about. God.
- 1:08:32The things you believe about life, the things you believe
- 1:08:35about success, the things you believe about failure, the
- 1:08:38things you believe about Satan, the things you believe about
- 1:08:41men, the things you believe about yourself.
- 1:08:44And be brutally honest. You will marvel and wonder that
- 1:08:48there's been a backlog of things that are self sabotaging and it
- 1:08:52will keep empowering Satan and demonic spirits to keep you
- 1:08:56down. But the good news I have for you
- 1:08:58tonight is that things are changing in the name of Jesus.
- 1:09:02Things are changing. You will begin to manifest Bible
- 1:09:05faith that is not just mental ascent derived but word based
- 1:09:10derived from the world. Are we together that your life
- 1:09:13will be run entirely by the word of God.
- 1:09:16This becomes the software that builds your convictions, the the
- 1:09:21software the information upon which you base your life, that
- 1:09:24you move from acting on the world to living by the world.
- 1:09:28They are two different realms. You can act on the world and get
- 1:09:31results, but you can live by the world and make results your
- 1:09:34natural habitat. Mark Matthew 4/4 The Bible says
- 1:09:38man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word.
- 1:09:44As for me, I made-up my mind, not just because I'm a man of
- 1:09:48God, that for as long as I live, I will live not just by bread.
- 1:09:53Bread means that which comes from human origin, supported by
- 1:09:56human intelligence. But I will live by the Word of
- 1:09:59God, and I have tasted of this word.
- 1:10:04And I can. Tell you if the Word of God is
- 1:10:07engaged truthfully, patiently, consistently, it works.
- 1:10:12Let God be true and let every man be a liar.
- 1:10:15Would we stand on your feet? Hold the hands of someone by
- 1:10:19your left and your right? The hearing of faith, the power
- 1:10:25of right believing. Please just hold someone's hand.
- 1:10:27I saw so many people at the overflow outside.
- 1:10:30Make sure you're holding someone's hand.
- 1:10:32I ask that you lend me a minute or two and let's just pray.
- 1:10:35Lift your voice and begin to thank the Lord for what you've
- 1:10:38heard. For some of you is a shift is an
- 1:10:40adjustment. You have been believing, but
- 1:10:44it's time to look deeper into the content that which you
- 1:10:48believe. Go ahead and pray.
- 1:10:52Thank you Father, for your word. It's come to give me light.
- 1:10:55It's. Come to give me illumination.

- 1:12:13Media Second Corinthians chapter 4 and verse 13.
- 1:12:20It says we having the same spirit of faith according as it
- 1:12:28is written. I believed, and therefore as
- 1:12:32proof that I believe, I have spoken.
- 1:12:34He says we like the Patricks who believe because we also believe.
- 1:12:39We therefore speak. Are you ready to speak?
- 1:12:42For the next one minute? I'd like you to declare the word
- 1:12:45of God over your life. As far as your mind can recall.
- 1:12:48If you call yourself the head and not the tail, you are right.
- 1:12:51You call yourself above and not beneath.
- 1:12:53You are right. Go ahead and speak.
- 1:12:55You are programming realities. You are speaking possibilities
- 1:12:59to your life. In the name of Jesus.
- 1:13:01I am planted in the House of God.
- 1:13:03I flourish in the courts of my God covenant nation.
- 1:13:06Go ahead pray. In old age I am fat and
- 1:13:10flourishing in the name of Jesus.
- 1:13:12I am the redeemed of the Lord, therefore I say so.
- 1:13:15The healed of the Lord, therefore I say so.
- 1:13:18The lifter of the Lord. Therefore I anointed of the
- 1:13:22Lord. Therefore I say so.
- 1:13:26My going out, my coming is blessed.
- 1:13:28Go ahead and make that declaration.
- 1:13:31I am the children that the Lord has given to me.
- 1:13:33We are for signs. We are for wonders in Israel.
- 1:13:37Blessed is the man that feared the Lord, who delights greatly
- 1:13:40in his commands. His seed shall be mighty upon
- 1:13:43earth. The generation of the upright
- 1:13:45shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in my
- 1:13:48house. My righteousness endures
- 1:13:51forever. Go ahead and pray.
- 1:13:54I'm like the seed in Lebanon. In the name of Jesus Christ, I
- 1:13:59will not see drought when it comes marvelously helped of God.
- 1:14:03It is by God I run through a troop, by my God I leap over a
- 1:14:07wall. Go ahead and declare September
- 1:14:10is blessed for you, October is blessed for you, November is
- 1:14:14blessed for you, December is blessed for you.
- 1:14:18Blessed is she that believes. Unto her there shall be AI have
- 1:14:23believed. And therefore I declare that
- 1:14:25there is a power, there is a performance in my finances, a
- 1:14:31performance in my life. 10 more seconds.
- 1:14:36You are making declarations. Declare ye that thou mightest be
- 1:14:41justified, for by your words you are just.
- 1:14:46By your words you are condemned. The hand of the Lord is upon the
- 1:14:52favor of God. The wisdom of God is upon me.
- 1:14:58Helped of God. Helped of God, marvelously
- 1:15:02helped of God. My cop runs over.
- 1:15:11My cop runs over. He anoints my head with oil.
- 1:15:16My cop runs over. Jesus Christ.
- 1:15:21My cop runs over in the name of Jesus Christ, whose song in my
- 1:15:27mouth, a song of praise to our God.
- 1:15:30Many will see, they will fear, and they will.
- 1:15:39In Jesus mighty name we pray. In Jesus mighty name we pray.
- 1:15:46I'm about to speak over your life, but can I make the altar
- 1:15:48call? Is that all right, Sir?
- 1:15:50Praise the name of the Lord. Please everyone, except you are
- 1:15:54not able to. Let me request that we all stand
- 1:15:56just to honor the altar call. Every believer's journey starts
- 1:16:04with Jesus. It doesn't just start with
- 1:16:09thoughts or philosophies in a gathering like this.
- 1:16:14I came in and I saw so many people outside at the overflow.
- 1:16:17There are many who are connected across the globe and many others
- 1:16:20who came tonight. Jesus is called the author and
- 1:16:24then he's called the finisher of our faith.
- 1:16:27He cannot finish what he did not start.
- 1:16:30He must be alpha to be Omega. You cannot use another formula
- 1:16:34to alpha your life then expect him to be the Omega.
- 1:16:39He is alpha Omega. The Bible says in the day that
- 1:16:43you hear his voice, do not harden your heart.
- 1:16:45I'm speaking to someone who perhaps from the sessions before
- 1:16:49me and now according to this session, the Holy Ghost began to
- 1:16:52speak to you and you've been convicted on hearing me speak,
- 1:16:59knowing that you need Jesus. You see, the beautiful thing
- 1:17:01about salvation is that whilst it is free, you must take the
- 1:17:05responsibility of. Receiving it, he says as many as
- 1:17:09received him, meaning you can reject him and you will respect
- 1:17:13your choice. Except that with that choice
- 1:17:15becomes eternal damnation. But the Bible says, For God so
- 1:17:19loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that
- 1:17:22whosoever believes in him, he should not perish, but have life
- 1:17:27everlasting. He says for God did not send his
- 1:17:30Son into the world to condemn the world.
- 1:17:32But that the world through him might believe.
- 1:17:34I want to give someone an opportunity to make it right
- 1:17:37with Jesus tonight. 2 calls in one.
- 1:17:40You're saying, apostle, if you'll give me a chance, I want
- 1:17:43to run and make it right once and for all with Jesus.
- 1:17:46Or #2 you're saying I really need to rededicate my life to
- 1:17:50Jesus? This conference has challenged
- 1:17:52me. I need to get things straight.
- 1:17:55I need to get my relationship right.
- 1:17:57I count 1 to 5 very quickly. Those from outside, I don't know
- 1:18:00if they'll have the chance to come in, else they can move to
- 1:18:02their LE DS. I count one to five.
- 1:18:05I'm looking for one sincere person who will come and stand
- 1:18:08here. I begin my counting now one.
- 1:18:11Let's celebrate them as they come.
- 1:18:13Run. Leave your seat and run 2.
- 1:18:20God bless you as you come. Covenant Nation, are we
- 1:18:22celebrating them? Come win that war once and for
- 1:18:31all 3. 4 Apostle. I desire fresh start, a
- 1:18:46functional relationship with this Jesus.
- 1:18:50Tired of church, tired of religion.
- 1:18:52I know He's able to start afresh with me.
- 1:18:56Come join them. Come those outside.
- 1:19:01You can move to your LEDs and to those who are connected online.
- 1:19:05I'm about to pray and make sure you follow through when we pray
- 1:19:09five. Let's give Jesus a big hand clap
- 1:19:11for this harvest. Hallelujah, praise the name of
- 1:19:21the Lord. I want to congratulate everyone
- 1:19:24of you. Some of you are crying.
- 1:19:25Don't be ashamed of your tears. You see, you're standing before
- 1:19:30a loving father. He truly loves you.
- 1:19:33It's not a church cliche, he says.
- 1:19:35I know the thoughts that I think to what you said the Lord they
- 1:19:39are thoughts of. Peace to give you a future and
- 1:19:42to give you an expected end that as many who will come to him,
- 1:19:45the Bible declares you will. In no wise castaway you have
- 1:19:48come and is ready to begin a journey with you.
- 1:19:52Lift your right hand high above your head as a sign of
- 1:19:55surrender. And I wanted to say this after
- 1:19:57me. I mean it from your heart.
- 1:19:59You're not reciting a poem. You're not just honoring the
- 1:20:02words of a man of God. Just take me away from your mind
- 1:20:05and see Jesus standing, stretching his hands towards
- 1:20:08you, and leading in you into a real functional experience.
- 1:20:12Say after me, Lord Jesus again. Say Lord Jesus, tonight I have
- 1:20:19heard your word. I believe you are the Son of
- 1:20:23God. I believe you died for my sin.
- 1:20:28I believe you rose again for my justification right now.
- 1:20:34I receive Jesus into my heart. Be my Savior, be my Lord, be my
- 1:20:42king. I declare that the power of sin,
- 1:20:48Satan, hell, and the grave is broken over my life from
- 1:20:54tonight. My child of God, I go for
- 1:20:58whatever and back whatever. Amen.
- 1:21:03Keep your hands lifted. I decree and declare in the name
- 1:21:06of Jesus. Upon confessing the Lordship of
- 1:21:09Jesus, the grace to live the victorious life is released over
- 1:21:13you. In the name of Jesus, I declare
- 1:21:15your sins forgiven and I call you bona fide recipients of the
- 1:21:19life of God. From tonight until that all your
- 1:21:23days, you are the righteousness of God In Christ.
- 1:21:26You only go forward, you only go upward.
- 1:21:29In Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen.
- 1:21:32OK. So please do me a favor.
- 1:21:34I'd like you to move. The counselors are ready to have
- 1:21:37a word with you. Please do cooperate with them.
- 1:21:39To my right. That would be your left.
- 1:21:41Just a word very quickly and you'll be back to your seat.
- 1:21:45Let's keep clapping until they move.
- 1:21:53Lift your hands, let me speak over your life.
- 1:22:00Step by step you leave me, and I will follow you all of my days.
- 1:22:10Step by step you leave me, and I will follow you all of my days.
- 1:22:20Oh God, you are my God and I will never praise you.
- 1:22:30Oh God, you are my God. I'll stick you in the morning, I
- 1:22:41will see you in the morning. I will learn to work in your
- 1:22:49way. Step by step you lead me and I
- 1:22:58will follow you. I stand in faith with a grace.
- 1:23:04That is upon your pastor and the leadership of this great
- 1:23:07assembly, and I decree and declare in the name of Jesus
- 1:23:11from September to December. Let it be good news for you.
- 1:23:17I'm only speaking to a receiver. Let it be good news for you.
- 1:23:22In the name of Jesus, I declare upon you.
- 1:23:26The lines are fallen for you in pleasant places.
- 1:23:29You have a goodly heritage in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 1:23:35For some of you who have lost things, you've lost time.
- 1:23:38Receive restoration by the power of God's Word.
- 1:23:44I decree and declare that the Holy Spirit will breathe upon
- 1:23:46your understanding. You'll begin to understand
- 1:23:49Scripture in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 1:23:54Men say there is a casting down for you.
- 1:23:57Let it be that there is a lifting up.
- 1:23:59This church is blessed and it remains blessed, the leadership
- 1:24:03blessed and it remains blessed, the membership blessed and they
- 1:24:06remain blessed. Testimonies after testimonies go
- 1:24:10from glory to glory, favor to favor, power to power.
- 1:24:18In Jesus name we pray. Can you shout Amen 123 give
- 1:24:26Jesus a big hand clap. God bless you.
