  Speaker 2: It's my honor to start the session today, and I'm
• 6:57
  truly grateful to pass upo Joan his wife. Please help
• 7:00
  me honor him one more time. Thank you so much, sir,
• 7:03
  in the name of Jesus. We began our discussion yesterday,
• 7:08
  and I summarize yesterday's teaching by telling us that faith,
• 7:13
  Bible faith is a function of growth in spiritual understanding.
• 7:18
  This was the summary of my discussion yesterday. That a
• 7:22
  believer cannot attain onto Bible faith in ignorance.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: You still remember that.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Bible faith is a function of growth in spiritual understanding,
• 7:34
  and that the deeper and the higher your spiritual understanding
• 7:39
  is the.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Greater your conviction.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: So when you say no faith, or small faith, or
• 7:45
  great faith or exceeding great faith, they are functions of
• 7:50
  the depth of revelation and spiritual illumination that you have, allelujah.
• 7:56
  And that every believer has a responsibility to work in
• 7:59
  partnership with the Word of God and the Holy Spirit
• 8:02
  to contend for light. Where in a season where believers
• 8:07
  cannot afford to live in ignorance, it said, the people
• 8:11
  that sat in darkness have seen a great light.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Allelujah.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: This morning, I want to take it a step further.
• 8:18
  And the title of my teaching this morning is help
• 8:21
  my own belief. I want to show you the rules
• 8:24
  of potent faith. Help my own belief. Mark chapter nine.
• 8:29
  Please mark chapter nine. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
• 8:36
  Will begin our reading from verse nineteen. Very interesting scripture.
• 8:40
  Mark chapter nine. The Bible says, Jesus is speaking now.
• 8:45
  He said, all faith less generation, how long shall I
• 8:50
  be with you? How long shall I suffer you? He said,
• 8:53
  bring him on to me.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Uh huh. And they brought onto him the boy now.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: And when he saw him straight away, the spirit tear
• 9:03
  him and he fell on the ground and wallowed forming.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: And he asked his father, how long is it since
• 9:12
  this came onto him?
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And the father said, since he was a child, in
• 9:17
  the name of Jesus, everything that has followed you since
• 9:19
  you were a child, patterns of evil, patterns of retrogression.
• 9:24
  Let this be the conference where it drops from off
• 9:27
  your life in the name of Jesus Christ. Let's continue
• 9:31
  our reading.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: And oft times.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: The Bible says it had cast him into the fire
• 9:37
  and into the water to destroy him. He says, but
• 9:40
  if you can do anything, have compassion upon us and
• 9:43
  help us twenty three. And Jesus said, if thou canst believe,
• 9:48
  say I believe. One more time, say I believe. If
• 9:52
  thou canst believe, all things are possible. Not to everybody,
• 9:57
  but unto him that believer. Twenty four and straightway. The
• 10:01
  father of the child cried out, and with tears he said, Lord,
• 10:06
  I believe. But in case I don't know what I'm
• 10:09
  talking about, help thou my own belief. A man can
• 10:14
  cry for help that God would do something about your
• 10:18
  state of unbelief. Let's finish it to twenty seven, and
• 10:21
  then I'll.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Begin to teach. And when Jesus saw that the people
• 10:24
  came running.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying, unto him, thou
• 10:29
  dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee come out of
• 10:32
  him and enter no more into him twenty six. And
• 10:36
  the spirit cried and rent him sore, and came out
• 10:39
  of him. And he was as one dead, in so
• 10:42
  much that many said he's dead verse seven, verse twenty seven.
• 10:48
  But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up,
• 10:51
  and he arose the Lord bless the reading of his
• 10:54
  word in the name of Jesus.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Christ straight up.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I want to show you, by the message of God,
• 11:01
  three rules that govern portent.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Faith, or at least four of them.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: They're actually about seven rules that govern the manifestation of
• 11:12
  faith that works, faith that moves mountains, faith that can
• 11:16
  subdue nations and turn the tides of darkness away. But
• 11:20
  for the sake of this session, well just consider three
• 11:23
  or four.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Let's say four. Allelujah. Number one.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: The first rule that governs Bible faith portent faith is
• 11:33
  that faith that produces, Faith that works must be a
• 11:38
  product of encounters. Faith that works must be a product
• 11:46
  of encounters. Encounters are beyond mental ascent encounters and encounters
• 11:55
  an experience that makes a person, a thought of a
• 12:00
  thing real to you in the simplest of it of definitions.
• 12:04
  And encounter is an experience, usually supernatural, that makes a person,
• 12:11
  a thought or a thing real to you. And according
• 12:17
  to Scripture, there are three platforms for experiencing encounters Number
• 12:23
  one prayer, Number two worship number three the study of Scripture.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Please write that down, don't forget.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: There are three platforms that afford the believer an opportunity
• 12:36
  to have encounters encounter with God. Number one prayer in
• 12:41
  the place of prayer. Believers have encounters number two had
• 12:49
  felt worship, not fearless worship, not unattentive worship, had felt worship.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Number three.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: The Study of Scripture Job chapter forty two.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: And verse five.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Job said, I have heard of deal with the hearing
• 13:08
  of the ear, But now my eyes see a d
• 13:12
  This is the most graphic description of encounters. You may
• 13:17
  forget the things that you hear, but you cannot forget
• 13:20
  the things that you see A way together.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Now it's possible to give me a call, and then
• 13:26
  I may.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Not even identify who it is that is calling, And
• 13:29
  sometimes I may need to ask, sorry, who is this?
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm Soco Swan. Then I say I'm sorry, I
• 13:34
  was confused, but I cannot see you and confuse you.
• 13:37
  Am I am? I right on that.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, most people do not have firm convictions because what
• 13:44
  they call faith was not derived from encounters. Allelujah. Encounters
• 13:52
  are very powerful. I'm reminded of my own encounters with God.
• 13:56
  I doubt that I would have been able to do
• 13:59
  by the message of God the things that were able
• 14:03
  to do today, because you see, you have to have
• 14:07
  an experience that is greater than the obstacles that will
• 14:10
  stand before you.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Are we together now.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: For as long as the highest definition of power that
• 14:18
  is in your mind is Pharaoh and Egypt, you cannot
• 14:21
  be a deliverer.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: You will need to subject.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Yourself to another experience at the bonning bush that shows
• 14:27
  you a more superior dimension of power. It will now
• 14:31
  sponsor the courage to go and stand before Pharaoh. There
• 14:35
  are many people standing before mountains. Standing before Pharaoh. Just
• 14:39
  because the Bible says to speak to a mountain does
• 14:41
  not mean you stand under any condition. Moses would have
• 14:45
  failed woefully if he went, even though he had the
• 14:49
  prophetic destiny of a deliverer. There was an experience, the
• 14:53
  Bible says, when he was at the backside of the
• 14:55
  mountain tending his father in lost ship jetthrow he sa
• 15:00
  a bush that burned, but the bush was not consumed,
• 15:04
  and the Bible says God kept leering him, and when
• 15:07
  Moses said, I will turn aside and see this great sight,
• 15:12
  and the Bible says when God saw that he turned aside,
• 15:15
  he finally got his attention. He said, Moses, come take
• 15:18
  off your shoes. From where thou standards is holy ground.
• 15:21
  And he began a series of discussions with God. At
• 15:25
  the end of that experience, Moses was bold enough to
• 15:28
  go to Egypt. I hope you know that he ran
• 15:31
  away from Egypt because he kills someone you can imagine,
• 15:36
  but haven't met the God of the Bible. He went
• 15:38
  back and told Pharaoh. He said, Pharaoh, you still remember
• 15:43
  my face. This was not the coward who ran away.
• 15:46
  I've met the God of the Bible. Toss said, the
• 15:49
  God of the Hebrews, Let my people go. You will
• 15:55
  never have the courage.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: You see.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Life has an interesting way of bullying you, making you
• 16:02
  believe that you cannot thrive, either because of the kind
• 16:05
  of family you came from. Are we together or the
• 16:08
  kind of limitation that has surrounded your life. But when
• 16:11
  you meet the God of the Bible, fear dies.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I tell you.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Genuine faith is a product of encounters. Encounters in the
• 16:22
  place of prayer, a spirit to spirit communication, encounters in
• 16:27
  the place of worship, encounters. As you study the Bible,
• 16:31
  your understanding is broadened, your conviction is strengthened.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Someone shout encounters.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Second Corinthians thirteen and fourteen says the grace of our
• 16:40
  Lord Jesus Christ. It says the love of God and
• 16:44
  the communion, fellowship. The word coinonia, the participation, the sharing together.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Let it be with you, Let it be with you.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: You know what that means That what is in one
• 16:57
  person becomes in another is like a mixing together. So
• 17:00
  if I take a bottle of Coca cola and a
• 17:02
  bottle of water, and I mix both of them together,
• 17:05
  ordinarily they become inseparable.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: That's what coin onia is that in that place of
• 17:11
  intercourse you are able to drink of something you did
• 17:14
  not get to that place with courage, power, grace.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: You stand and their life.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: It looks like you are standing in arrogance, But your
• 17:23
  conviction comes from the one you have met. He said God,
• 17:32
  to the street, those roads divide, you will see a
• 17:36
  coat that no man had ridden on. And if anybody
• 17:39
  does challenge, you tell them the owner you met him,
• 17:44
  You met the.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Master, and that he has need of it. Let me
• 17:47
  tell you the truth there is.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: And gentlemen, you have to see a God that is
• 17:51
  bigger than your challenges to have the courage to confront
• 17:55
  your challenges.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Let me say that again.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: You have to see and encounter a God that is bigger,
• 18:02
  bigger than your challenges, Allelujah. Genuine faith is a derivative
• 18:12
  of encounters.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Now, there are four fruits of encounters. You can know.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not teaching on encounters tonight, but you can test
• 18:22
  for the validity of an encounter by the.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Presence of these four foods.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: If it is a genuine, God ordained encounter, if it
• 18:31
  is the God of the Bible, you meet, you have
• 18:33
  to leave that place with these four foods. Number one, conviction.
• 18:37
  The first thing that happens to you in the place
• 18:39
  of encounters conviction conviction first a revelation of the true
• 18:46
  state of your heart, and then the conviction, the revelation
• 18:50
  of God's love, the revelation of God's.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Power or might are we together now?
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Conviction from the place of encounter, from the place of encounter,
• 19:05
  From the place of encounter.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Conviction that when you say God said, you know what
• 19:10
  you are saying.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: You can know about me by reading my books or
• 19:16
  hearing from someone who had met me. But it's a
• 19:19
  different thing altogether. The day you meet me, a we together.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: If someone sends you a text now and says a
• 19:27
  person wants to see you at a bank somewhere, the
• 19:29
  name of that person says Camma, yes or no, because
• 19:33
  I'm right here before you, and you know that by
• 19:35
  my schedule I should be here preaching. So whoever is
• 19:39
  that me that is deceiving you online, It's most likely
• 19:42
  It'scarma A. We together now, and your confidence is based
• 19:46
  on the fact that you have met me.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: If someone tells you right.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Now that your pastor, knowing your pastor, it tells you
• 19:55
  that your pastor wants one thousand narer.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: From you, you are not going to pray about it.
• 20:03
  Are we together now?
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: The reason is because you know that his integrity, his value,
• 20:10
  and his investment has forbidden him from remaining at that level.
• 20:15
  Are we together now? Most people doubt because.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: They have not met the God of the Bible. Life
• 20:23
  will ask you who sent you?
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Look at me, ladies and gentlemen, I want to go
• 20:28
  into business. I want to go into ministry. Life will
• 20:31
  ask you who sent you, Who sent you? Who sent
• 20:36
  you that you want to build the biggest orphanage?
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Who sent you that you want.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: To build the ministry and raise God and army? Life
• 20:43
  will ask you who sent you? And praying for you.
• 20:46
  When Life asked you who sent you, may you have
• 20:49
  an answer in the name of Jesus Christ. The apostle said,
• 20:54
  but I know whom I have believed. I didn't just
• 20:56
  believe him. I know whom I have believed. I am pursued.
• 21:00
  Let me tell you something.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Do you know?
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: It's a principle that has worked in my own life
• 21:06
  many times. When God gives me instructions in ministry and
• 21:10
  in my life, and those instructions look very big, something
• 21:14
  happens to me. The spirit of God begins to walk
• 21:18
  upon my mind in the place of prayer and worship,
• 21:21
  and he begins to bring before me the various encounters
• 21:26
  that I've had in my life, extraordinary encounters.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: And from those encounters, faith and courage rise. Are we together? Now?
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: There are times I stand before sick people and I
• 21:40
  know that humanly speaking, God will have to help me.
• 21:43
  Now you are ministering to people, You are standing before nations.
• 21:46
  What gives you your dacity to tell people? Come you
• 21:49
  are sick, Come you're oppressed?
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Come no, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, eat full
• 22:00
  lan through Lamb of God we were.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: You're the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, faith full
• 22:14
  lent through Lamb of God.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: We wereship. You are you learning now? Faith? Out of encounters.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: I'll share with you a testimony when God was moving
• 22:27
  on from Zaria to Abuja. I remember some of you
• 22:30
  have heard the story, and I honestly didn't like Aboucha.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I didn't want for reasons I could not explain.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure that I wanted a Bouja at all,
• 22:39
  maybe somewhere else. And then I remember when God instructed
• 22:44
  me to pray. He instructed me to get the map
• 22:49
  of Abuja, the map of Nigeria, the map.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Of Africa, and the map of the whole world. He
• 22:56
  said I should place it and keep praying every day.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: And I kept praying, praying, soaking in the glory, soaking
• 23:03
  in the presence. I'm saying this to encourage someone. One day,
• 23:07
  something happened to me. Let me tell you what encounters
• 23:11
  do or create in the believer. I was looking at
• 23:15
  the map of Abuja and it suddenly became small, very small,
• 23:23
  like a little child holding a ball. The map just
