- 0:00Speaker 1: So much for this honor, this opportunity. Let's pray, Father,
- 0:04Speaker 1: thank you for the privilege that you have given to
- 0:07Speaker 1: bring your word to this special people. Thank you for
- 0:12Speaker 1: the relationship that has been maintained through the years. Lord,
- 0:17Speaker 1: I pray that in this conference, indeed there will be.
- 0:21Speaker 2: An outpouring.
- 0:25Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, that everyone who has come
- 0:30Speaker 1: within this auditorium outside and those following online, that by
- 0:35Speaker 1: the power of the Holy Spirit you will be mightily edified,
- 0:40Speaker 1: and to Jesus be all the praise and glory. In
- 0:44Speaker 1: Jesus' name, I pray please be seated. Thank you again, Allelujah.
- 0:55Speaker 1: It will never tire me to bless the Lord for
- 0:59Speaker 1: the privilege first and foremost of relationship with the Nigeriani migration.
- 1:05Speaker 1: I have been have been immensely, immensely blessed. At several points.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Leaders within this fellowship have been instrumental to facilitating anything
- 1:19Speaker 1: that has to do with you know, concerns of passports
- 1:23Speaker 1: and et cetera. And I cannot take it for granted.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you so very very much, Allelujah. Let
- 1:30Speaker 1: me also commend the spiritual consistency of the Christian Fellowship
- 1:36Speaker 1: here by the privilege of God's grace. I think that
- 1:41Speaker 1: we have established a relationship that has lasted quite maybe
- 1:47Speaker 1: a few years now to make it a decade. And
- 1:51Speaker 1: God has been very, very faithful, and I have seen
- 1:54Speaker 1: the consistency, and I think it.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Is worthy of commendation.
- 2:00Speaker 1: The Lord bless you and salutations all the leaders in
- 2:03Speaker 1: Jesus' name Romans, chapter eight and verse fourteen, who hopefully
- 2:10Speaker 1: have a brief session this afternoon and will see how
- 2:16Speaker 1: Father Lord will help us cover. And then by by
- 2:21Speaker 1: the morrow God will health, who grant us the grace
- 2:25Speaker 1: to be able to pray for the sick and to
- 2:28Speaker 1: do as much as He would grant us the grace.
- 2:30Speaker 1: So the Romans eight fourteen, the Bible says, for as
- 2:34Speaker 1: many as are led by the spirit of God, he says,
- 2:38Speaker 1: they are the sons of God. As many as are
- 2:44Speaker 1: led by the spirit of God, they are the sons
- 2:47Speaker 1: of God. Hallelujah. Here the Bible shows us that among
- 2:52Speaker 1: the many secrets and tokens that validate sonship in the
- 2:57Speaker 1: Kingdom is the ability to be led by the Spirit
- 3:01Speaker 1: of God. That if an individual is to manifest the
- 3:05Speaker 1: reality of your sonship in Christ, it will take more
- 3:10Speaker 1: than just the new birth experience. You would have to
- 3:13Speaker 1: live your life at the messy of the leadership of
- 3:18Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. That if you submit yourself to the
- 3:22Speaker 1: ministry of this personality called the Holy Spirit, among the
- 3:27Speaker 1: many benefits you stand to enjoy is that your life
- 3:31Speaker 1: will begin to command results that can only be traced
- 3:34Speaker 1: to one who is the Son of God. Are we
- 3:37Speaker 1: together now, Yes, So when an individual submits to the
- 3:44Speaker 1: ministry of the Holy Spirit, as he begins to perform
- 3:48Speaker 1: his ministry in your life, something begins to change about
- 3:52Speaker 1: your life, and that it would change so dramatically that
- 3:57Speaker 1: your results will not be able to be traced to
- 3:59Speaker 1: any earthly origin. The only origin that will fit the
- 4:04Speaker 1: description of your life and your result is one who
- 4:08Speaker 1: came from God. May that be a testimony in the
- 4:12Speaker 1: name of Jesus. You probably may have heard me teach
- 4:18Speaker 1: that there are many encounters. Please let me have your attention,
- 4:22Speaker 1: especially for those outside. There are many encounters that believer
- 4:26Speaker 1: us need to have in order to leave an excelling
- 4:32Speaker 1: and an effective Christian life Allelujah.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Captured. From Genesis to.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Revelation are many kinds and phases of encounters that believers
- 4:43Speaker 1: would need to have. I'm interested in just one of
- 4:45Speaker 1: them for the service this afternoon. The encounter with the
- 4:49Speaker 1: ministry of the Holy Spirit, in fact, the point of
- 4:53Speaker 1: initiation into the Kingdom, according to the discussion of Jesus,
- 4:58Speaker 1: Christ and Nicodemus, is coming through the Son.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Are we together now?
- 5:04Speaker 1: Yes, for God, soul of the world, that he gave
- 5:07Speaker 1: his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in that Son
- 5:12Speaker 1: should not perish. But as a reward for believing that Son,
- 5:16Speaker 1: you have not only life everlasting, but you are given
- 5:20Speaker 1: access into the experience of the Kingdom. Allelujah, Prast the Lord.
- 5:26Speaker 1: But then the encounter does not stop there. The next
- 5:29Speaker 1: most important encounter in order of priority, when you meet
- 5:34Speaker 1: Jesus as the Son of God. Then you are introduced
- 5:38Speaker 1: to this personality called the Holy Spirit. Theologically speaking, the
- 5:44Speaker 1: Holy Spirit is the first of the god Head we
- 5:47Speaker 1: see revealed in the Bible Genesis one and Verse one.
- 5:52Speaker 1: The Bible says, in the beginning God created the heavens
- 5:55Speaker 1: and the earth.
- 5:56Speaker 2: It says, now the earth was dark.
- 5:59Speaker 1: And void and formless, And Denny says, and the Spirit
- 6:03Speaker 1: of God hovered round the face of the waters, or
- 6:07Speaker 1: upon the face of the waters. So we see the
- 6:10Speaker 1: Holy Spirit as that distinct tryun personality who was revealed
- 6:16Speaker 1: when Jesus was about to be born. The Angel comes
- 6:21Speaker 1: to Mary, gives her a very strange salutation and tells
- 6:25Speaker 1: her that her womb will be used to birth one
- 6:29Speaker 1: who would come to save the world from their sins.
- 6:33Speaker 1: And she said, how shall these things be? Saying that
- 6:36Speaker 1: I know not a man. The Angel said, the power
- 6:41Speaker 1: of the Highest shall overshadow you. So the Holy Spirit
- 6:46Speaker 1: himself is called the Power of the Highest, that he
- 6:49Speaker 1: will overshadow you, and he will produce a result in
- 6:52Speaker 1: your life that is not ordinary. This is powerful. That
- 6:56Speaker 1: means when the Holy Spirit overshadows a man, there is
- 6:59Speaker 1: no limits to how far and how great that man
- 7:03Speaker 1: can be. Here is a young virgin who had not
- 7:06Speaker 1: met a man. Based on the law of reproduction, it
- 7:10Speaker 1: will take a man and a woman, the seed from
- 7:13Speaker 1: the man in union with the woman to have a child.
- 7:16Speaker 2: And the Holy Spirit.
- 7:18Speaker 1: The Angel is saying, the possibility, you know, it's not
- 7:21Speaker 1: the only possibility that exists, that an influence can come
- 7:25Speaker 1: upon you and produce the result routed by another way.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Do you know what this means?
- 7:33Speaker 1: That means normally, if it takes ten years for an
- 7:36Speaker 1: average person to prosper, it's not a lie based on
- 7:39Speaker 1: the principles of agriculture or growth. But when the power
- 7:43Speaker 1: of the Highest overshadows you, it is possible that that
- 7:46Speaker 1: ten years can be one year for you. This is
- 7:49Speaker 1: an information that gives you hope. That means do not
- 7:53Speaker 1: generalize my results. There there is a factor that is
- 7:57Speaker 1: an advantage to my life.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Which we get.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Now, how shall these things be, seeing that I know
- 8:04Speaker 1: not a man, How shall these things be seeing that
- 8:08Speaker 1: it is after three, three or four four years that
- 8:10Speaker 1: promotion happens here at the Nigeriani migration has been so?
- 8:16Speaker 1: But not when the power of the Highest overshadows you.
- 8:19Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ, can someone just turn
- 8:22Speaker 1: this already to a prayer? In one minute, Spirit of
- 8:25Speaker 1: the Living God, you will overshadow my life, rewrites the
- 8:31Speaker 1: possibilities in my life.
- 8:36Speaker 2: Someone is praying.
- 8:43Speaker 1: Shebakatuska libratice, rewrites the possibilities in my life in the.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Name of Jesus.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Zachariah chapter four and these six, please give it to us.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Zachariah chapter four and these six. The prophet was speaking
- 9:09Speaker 1: even by the influence of that same spirit. And he answered,
- 9:13Speaker 1: I spoken to me saying this is the word of
- 9:16Speaker 1: the Lord. It was onto Zaruba Bell, but it is
- 9:20Speaker 1: true onto Joshua Salman. It is true onto Nigerian immigration.
- 9:25Speaker 1: It says not by might nor by power human abilities.
- 9:32Speaker 1: It says for by my Spirit, say.
- 9:35Speaker 2: It the Lord.
- 9:36Speaker 1: That means there are some results that are not by
- 9:39Speaker 1: ethly might nor ethly power.
- 9:42Speaker 2: If you ever see.
- 9:43Speaker 1: An individual work in that result, it tells you that
- 9:46Speaker 1: the fact of behind that kind of result is the spirit.
- 9:50Speaker 1: So do not be surprised when you hear what God
- 9:53Speaker 1: is doing in your life. All my life, it is
- 9:55Speaker 1: by the spirit. Every time your results defy explanation, the
- 10:00Speaker 1: of it is that it is by the spirit. How
- 10:04Speaker 1: come in one year you became a landlord? It is
- 10:07Speaker 1: by the spirit. This cannot be by brainwalk alone. How
- 10:12Speaker 1: come in one year God lifted your children and sorted
- 10:16Speaker 1: every one of them by the spirit. How come in
- 10:19Speaker 1: one year your genotime that used to be something that
- 10:23Speaker 1: was a source of concern, now change your hell delivered
- 10:26Speaker 1: and lifted and honored. How come a butcher opened for you.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Within a moment, somebody shout, by the spirit, let the
- 10:34Speaker 1: devil head say by the Spirit. Ah, that means soul
- 10:39Speaker 1: can become palled by the spirit. That means a young
- 10:43Speaker 1: boy who was looking for a shot as Dunty can
- 10:47Speaker 1: encounter anointing and anointing by the Spirit and becoming a prophet.
- 10:51Speaker 1: Rejoice not of having my enemies. What you were saying
- 10:55Speaker 1: is not all there is in my life. The power
- 10:58Speaker 1: of the highest can overshadow me. Listen down, Men are
- 11:08Speaker 1: not just made by chance or the natural sequence of
- 11:14Speaker 1: happenings in life. Please listen, whether in ministry, whether in career,
- 11:20Speaker 1: whether in family life. Every time you see any kind
- 11:24Speaker 1: of exceptional rising and excellence in and to a man,
- 11:31Speaker 1: immediately it should tell you that the source of that
- 11:35Speaker 1: rising is spiritual. Whether it is demonic or it is
- 11:40Speaker 1: of the spirit. No man attains a certain threshold of
- 11:44Speaker 1: results or assisted by the spirit Ramm.
- 11:48Speaker 2: It is against the law of growth.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Agriculture teaches us that there is a part to the
- 11:55Speaker 1: tree you don't see.
- 11:57Speaker 2: That is what makes the part you see even. Is
- 12:01Speaker 2: that true?
- 12:01Speaker 1: When you plant a tree, it does not begin to
- 12:04Speaker 1: go upwards until it goes that word. Now, what happens
- 12:08Speaker 1: there may not be seen by the optical eyes. However,
- 12:12Speaker 1: it is from that advantage that is beyond the human side,
- 12:16Speaker 1: that the tree itself stands.
- 12:18Speaker 2: That means the physical part.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Of that tree is empowered and kept by the invisible
- 12:24Speaker 1: part of that tree.
- 12:26Speaker 2: Agriculture teaches us that.
- 12:28Speaker 1: The physical part of you remains dormant until we can
- 12:33Speaker 1: see the strength of that spiritual part of you.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Allelujah.
- 12:41Speaker 1: Do you know if you cut the physical part of
- 12:44Speaker 1: the tree and leave the part invisible to the side,
- 12:47Speaker 1: you didn't do.
- 12:48Speaker 2: Much harm to that tree? Are we together?
- 12:53Speaker 1: Because it is still connected to the root and to
- 12:56Speaker 1: the earth, it would draw new trends and evil rise
- 13:01Speaker 1: and grow bigger. In fact, it is even a strategy.
- 13:04Speaker 1: It's called pruning in agriculture. Is that true? Where you
- 13:08Speaker 1: can caut a bit a part of the tree and
- 13:10Speaker 1: then it now begins to grow and blossom. That means,
- 13:18Speaker 1: no matter what happens to you, if that invisible part
- 13:22Speaker 1: that is connected to the realm of the spirit is
- 13:24Speaker 1: not touched, the devil has not done you harm. Are
- 13:28Speaker 1: were together? But do you know it is also possible
- 13:33Speaker 1: to not touch the leaves of a tree and just
- 13:36Speaker 1: up root it. You remember the word not of branch
- 13:40Speaker 1: not up stem up roots that tree. You can leave
- 13:44Speaker 1: the leaves still on it, and it begins to with
- 13:47Speaker 1: a naturally. What did you end up doing? You ended
- 13:50Speaker 1: up disconnecting it. That means there is nothing the devil
- 13:59Speaker 1: can do with a man who has discovered the spiritual
- 14:04Speaker 1: advantage to his life and has held onto it. My
- 14:10Speaker 1: assignment is to connect you, by revelation to that one
- 14:15Speaker 1: factor that is responsible for the mysterious yet predictable.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Rising of men any man at all.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Has nothing to do with the prejudice of gender or
- 14:28Speaker 1: bias or background. I don't care whether your background either
- 14:31Speaker 1: an advantage by default or not. That entity that was
- 14:37Speaker 1: given that assignment of rewriting the narratives of the lives
- 14:42Speaker 1: of men is called the Spirit of the Living God.
- 14:46Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit is called the force behind exploits the
- 14:51Speaker 1: mystery behind the dominion of men upon the earth, turning
- 14:57Speaker 1: ordinary men to become in things indomitable. It's called the
- 15:02Speaker 1: Spirit of the Living God. Whether it is to a
- 15:05Speaker 1: preacher or to a diplomat like you, dear people, or
- 15:09Speaker 1: to some kind of family person, it does not matter.
- 15:12Speaker 1: When the Holy Spirit held darkness like a raw material,
- 15:16Speaker 1: he produced light.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Out of it.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Your life cannot be darker than it was in Genesis one,
- 15:24Speaker 1: verse two. And yet he was not threatened by the
- 15:27Speaker 1: presence of that light. This already gives you hope. No matter.
- 15:31Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit is not per toped and concerned by.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Whatever raw material is given to him. You just give
- 15:38Speaker 1: it to him. And what's what he does with it.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Whether that raw material is a negative past, whether that
- 15:45Speaker 1: raw material is a life of felure and defeat, hear me, please,
- 15:49Speaker 1: Whether that raw material is.
- 15:50Speaker 2: A life full of causes and yokes.
- 15:52Speaker 1: Whether that raw material is a life that is full
- 15:55Speaker 1: of disadvantages, whether that raw material is the life of
- 15:59Speaker 1: an orphan, the life of a widow, the life of
- 16:01Speaker 1: a widower, the life of a sinner. You hand over
- 16:05Speaker 1: that life as a raw material to this power of
- 16:08Speaker 1: the highest, and what's what he makes out of it?
- 16:15Speaker 1: Someone following is called the spirit of the Living God.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Unless and until an individual encounters that spirit of the
- 16:26Speaker 1: Living God, there is no possibility for commanding and excelling life.
- 16:33Speaker 2: As far as this Kingdom is concerned.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Even if you rise without him, there will always be
- 16:38Speaker 1: a side effect to your life. There is a factor
- 16:41Speaker 1: that cannot be mimicked by the world. You can you
- 16:45Speaker 1: see I would always use construction when Saint Julius Verga
- 16:50Speaker 1: or any of the top construction brands, you can not
- 16:55Speaker 1: the quality of your products by certain tests. When you
- 16:58Speaker 1: see a block that comes from Julie, you don't need
- 17:01Speaker 1: to ask. You can throw it up. I need to
- 17:03Speaker 1: fall down and not break. You know that that block
- 17:05Speaker 1: was casted. It was not your sand away. Together the
- 17:09Speaker 1: quality of that product, they would build bridges and build
- 17:14Speaker 1: skyscrapers and then leave your signature on it. Somewhere in
- 17:19Speaker 1: that building you would see the signature of that company.
- 17:23Speaker 1: You cannot the life God build, because if you search well,
- 17:27Speaker 1: you will see the signature of the Holy Spirit upon
- 17:30Speaker 1: that life. You can see life that the Holy Spirit prospered.
- 17:33Speaker 1: Because you will look for sorrow and not find it.
- 17:36Speaker 1: Any or that kind of prosperity that is not got away,
- 17:40Speaker 1: there must be a sorrow component in it. It is
- 17:44Speaker 1: the blessing of the Lord. Did your Bible not say so?
- 17:46Speaker 1: That can make rich and yet extract the sorrow from it.
- 17:51Speaker 1: There are people. The higher they rise, the more sick
- 17:55Speaker 1: they become, the more afraid they become. They rise high
- 17:59Speaker 1: and even become ad of their own wives and their
- 18:01Speaker 1: own husbands. Why because they are afraid it is sain
- 18:09Speaker 1: to wake up in the morning and to sleep late
- 18:10Speaker 1: in the night. The Sami said, only to eat the
- 18:13Speaker 1: bread of sorrow. But only this God of Heaven can
- 18:16Speaker 1: give his beloved sleep. He said, accept the Lord builds
- 18:21Speaker 1: a house, they labor in vain, that build it. Except
- 18:26Speaker 1: the Lord watches over a city, he said, the watchman watched,
- 18:30Speaker 1: but in vain it is vain to wake up in
- 18:34Speaker 1: the morning. That is supposed to be the principle of productivity.
- 18:38Speaker 1: To wake up in the morning, and even to sleep
- 18:40Speaker 1: late at night. It is the most poetic representation of
- 18:45Speaker 1: hard work. And yet it says only to each the
- 18:48Speaker 1: bread of sorrow, but he gives his beloved sleep. Allelujah.
- 18:55Speaker 1: A few thoughts on the Holy Spirit, and then will pray,
- 18:58Speaker 1: who is he this personality called the Holy Spirit? Who
- 19:09Speaker 1: is the Holy Spirit? John chapter fourteen. Let's read from
- 19:19Speaker 1: verse sixteen John fourteen and verse sixteen Jesus himself. Now,
- 19:26Speaker 1: theologically speaking, you know that Jesus was born of that
- 19:30Speaker 1: version called Mary, and the Holy Spirit played his fatherly role.
- 19:34Speaker 1: So he was born a man, but empowered of the spirit,
- 19:38Speaker 1: born of the Spirit away together, and the Bible says,
- 19:42Speaker 1: when it was time for him now to begin his ministry,
- 19:45Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit had to appear in the similitude of a.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Dog rested upon him.
- 19:50Speaker 1: And then he was driven to the wilderness to be
- 19:54Speaker 1: tempted of the devil, the Bible says. And then he
- 19:57Speaker 1: returned in the power of the Spirit, and and his
- 20:00Speaker 1: fame began. You know, the mighty things that he kept doing.
- 20:04Speaker 1: The disciples were amazed, because I hope you know that
- 20:08Speaker 1: most of the disciples were older than Jesus from etly age.
- 20:12Speaker 1: I hope you know that, yes, most of them were
- 20:15Speaker 1: his contemporaries. They were within his age range. So it
- 20:21Speaker 1: was not that Jesus was such a stranger who came
- 20:24Speaker 1: from somewhere.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Most of them knew him.
- 20:26Speaker 1: They knew his parents, They knew the limitations that he had,
- 20:30Speaker 1: like every other child. What suddenly changed that this man
- 20:34Speaker 1: became such an invincible entity. He would turn the city
- 20:39Speaker 1: upside down. Now he began to speak here fourteen sixteen,
- 20:45Speaker 1: and I will pray the Father, he said, and he
- 20:48Speaker 1: shall give you another comforter, that he may abide with
- 20:54Speaker 1: you forever. Next verse. Even the spirits of truth whom
- 21:00Speaker 1: the world cannot receive. Why because it seeth him not,
- 21:05Speaker 1: and because neither knoweth him. But you know him, for
- 21:09Speaker 1: he dwell it with you and shall be in you.
- 21:13Speaker 1: Jesus began to talk to them verse eighteen. Now finally
- 21:19Speaker 1: it says, I will not leave you comfortless. I will
- 21:23Speaker 1: come to you hallelujah. This is very important. In Isaiah
- 21:29Speaker 1: forty eight and verse sixteen. Isaiah forty eight and verse sixteen,
- 21:35Speaker 1: the Lord never sends man alone to do exploits for
- 21:39Speaker 1: the kingdom. It says, come ye near onto me. Hear
- 21:43Speaker 1: ye this I have not spoken in secret from the beginning,
- 21:47Speaker 1: it says. For from the time that it was I am,
- 21:51Speaker 1: he says. And now the Lord God and his Spirit
- 21:55Speaker 1: had sent me who sent you. The Lord God all
- 22:00Speaker 1: longstright his Spirit sent me, who sent you to immigration Here.
- 22:05Speaker 1: It was not just an employment letter that sent you.
- 22:08Speaker 1: It was the Lord God and his Spirit. The person
- 22:12Speaker 1: who sends you is the one who defends you. The
- 22:16Speaker 1: Lord God and his Spirit had sent me. Theologically speaking,
- 22:22Speaker 1: we call the Holy Spirit the third person of the Trinity.
- 22:27Speaker 1: He is not third in terms of lesser power. He
- 22:31Speaker 1: is third simply in the description of the work and
- 22:35Speaker 1: the job. Hierarchy based on function is here. Ye are Israel.
- 22:41Speaker 1: The Lord, our God is one Lord. The word one
- 22:44Speaker 1: Lord means unity, not singular. Are we together?
- 22:48Speaker 2: Yes? It is one of the foundations.
- 22:50Speaker 1: Of the Christian faith that we believe in the tryon
- 22:54Speaker 1: nature of God being, the Father, the Son, and the
- 22:58Speaker 1: Holy Spirit co exists. Hallelujah. The Holy Spirit is God,
- 23:07Speaker 1: not an angel of God, not an errand boy of God,
- 23:13Speaker 1: not some super being. The Holy Spirit in every way
- 23:17Speaker 1: and all ways is God. Hallelujah. When Annaas and Sapphira,
- 23:24Speaker 1: when they lied and Peter, you know, they fell because
- 23:27Speaker 1: they sold the plot of land kept some money. Peter
- 23:32Speaker 1: said they had lied against the Holy Ghost. They had
- 23:37Speaker 1: lied against the Holy Ghost, and they felt because it
- 23:40Speaker 1: was that same Holy Ghost, it was God that punished them.
- 23:46Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit is God. If the Holy Spirit is God,
- 23:55Speaker 1: how come there are no three thrones in heaven? I
- 23:58Speaker 1: thought you should see three throne. There should be one
- 24:01Speaker 1: that the Father is sitting on, one that the Holy
- 24:05Speaker 1: Spirit is I mean the Sun is sitting on and
- 24:07Speaker 1: the third is that true? That is the that should
- 24:11Speaker 1: be the greatest expression of your equality. So why do
- 24:14Speaker 1: we see only two thrones in heaven, at least from
- 24:18Speaker 1: the testimony of Stevin that he saw the heavens open.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Remember when he was about to be stoned. He saw
- 24:24Speaker 1: the Father sitting the glory of God, and he saw
- 24:26Speaker 1: Jesus the Son, sitting at his right hand.
- 24:29Speaker 2: But there was no other throne there.
- 24:31Speaker 1: All other thrones were occupied by the twenty and four
- 24:34Speaker 1: Elders and other beings and other Christians. We don't seem
- 24:37Speaker 1: to see a space for the Holy Spirit. I will
- 24:40Speaker 1: tell you just in summary. The Holy Spirit has a throne,
- 24:46Speaker 1: and that throne is you. Listen carefully, it says, knowing
- 24:51Speaker 1: not that your body is the temple, just like that
- 24:54Speaker 1: throne of the Holy Spirit that he leaves in you.
- 24:57Speaker 1: It is his presence in you that connects you to heaven.
- 25:01Speaker 1: It is not until you rise physically and go to
- 25:04Speaker 1: heaven that you are in heaven. The presence of the
- 25:07Speaker 1: Spirit makes your habitation heaven. Allelujah. This is very important.
- 25:17Speaker 1: There is no destiny that ever rises without an encounter
- 25:21Speaker 1: with this personality. From the Old Testament, you will read
- 25:25Speaker 1: about ordinary individuals who met him and became powerful men
- 25:30Speaker 1: like Samson. Several people who met him and commanded on
- 25:35Speaker 1: usual abilities.
- 25:37Speaker 2: Now, very quickly, I want you to write, there.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Are four biblical ministries of the Holy Spirit to the Saints.
- 25:46Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Among the many things that He's been mandated by God
- 25:50Speaker 1: to do and achieve in the life of the saints.
- 25:54Speaker 2: You see, you.
- 25:54Speaker 1: Cannot truly talk about the anointing or spiritual empowerment until
- 26:00Speaker 1: you understand the Holy Spirit. He is the custodian, the
- 26:04Speaker 1: care taker, the keeper of the power of God.
- 26:09Speaker 2: The administration of spiritual.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Power resides within the office of the Holy Spirit. I
- 26:18Speaker 1: went together. There are four principal ministries of the Holy
- 26:24Speaker 1: Spirit to the believer in Christ. Are you ready now?
- 26:28Speaker 1: Ministry number one Guidance, the stressed ministry.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Of the Holy Spirit to the Saints.
- 26:37Speaker 1: Guidance number two, Direction, Direction number three, Revelation, Revelation number
- 26:54Speaker 1: four Empowerment. Let me repeat myself again. Major ministries may
- 27:02Speaker 1: not mean that it's all. There's so much he does
- 27:04Speaker 1: in the lives of the saints. But according to the
- 27:07Speaker 1: integrity of scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, before this, we
- 27:11Speaker 1: see these four principal ministries in the life of any
- 27:15Speaker 1: individual who comes under the influence of the Spirit. Let
- 27:19Speaker 1: me repeat again, for emphasis number one, guidance, number two, direction,
- 27:27Speaker 1: number three am I doing something wrong? Revelation and number
- 27:33Speaker 1: four empowerment. Hallelujah. So the Holy Spirit, when he comes
- 27:42Speaker 1: to the life of an individual, he comes to provide
- 27:45Speaker 1: guidance and directions. Let me show you the difference between
- 27:50Speaker 1: guidance and directions. Please, can I have any gentleman, any
- 27:53Speaker 1: one of these? Can I use you a pleas?
- 27:55Speaker 2: Come? Come, please stand here. Watch this. This is the direction.
- 28:01Speaker 1: He wants to go out and maybe meets a car outside,
- 28:05Speaker 1: and I tell him walk out and then turn left.
- 28:09Speaker 1: You're going to see a gate somewhere. That is direction.
- 28:13Speaker 1: That is not guidance. That is direction away together. Direction
- 28:19Speaker 1: focuses on the destination. Guidance focuses on how to get
- 28:24Speaker 1: to the destination. Please do not forget this difference. Hallelujah,
- 28:31Speaker 1: Praise the name of the Lord. Let me repeat myself again.
- 28:34Speaker 1: Direction focuses on the destination, but guidance focuses on the
- 28:41Speaker 1: steps that leads to the destination. So if I'm directing him,
- 28:46Speaker 1: he does not know that there is a staircase here.
- 28:49Speaker 1: He does not know that the ground can be slippy.
- 28:51Speaker 1: That is not in the ministry of direction. The most
- 28:55Speaker 1: important thing is to connect him to the final destination
- 29:00Speaker 1: he goes. Whether he will fall on the way. That
- 29:03Speaker 1: is not the assignment of direction. Direction focuses on the destination.
- 29:09Speaker 1: Are we together? But yes, how guidance is guidance will
- 29:13Speaker 1: now tell him you are going to arrive there. However,
- 29:16Speaker 1: when you get here, you will need to beware. There
- 29:20Speaker 1: is a step you go down. The ground can be slippery.
- 29:23Speaker 1: Let me see the kind of shoes you are wearing.
- 29:25Speaker 1: When you get to the door, it's possible that it
- 29:27Speaker 1: will be locked. So I will link you up with
- 29:30Speaker 1: a relationship that opens the door. That is guidance. The
- 29:34Speaker 1: Holy Spirit does not just direct man. The Holy Spirit guide.
- 29:38Speaker 1: Some of you have been receiving only directions. That's why
- 29:41Speaker 1: you are confused. You know where you are going by
- 29:44Speaker 1: you've not been able to arrive there because you have
- 29:46Speaker 1: only received direction, no guidance. Someone lay hands on your
- 29:50Speaker 1: head and say, Lord, give me guidance and direction.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Are you praying? Thank you for direction? But now I
- 30:00Speaker 2: know that I can be.
- 30:02Speaker 1: Guided guided you what's a profitable enterprise guide that you want?
- 30:09Speaker 3: Excelling pray.
- 30:21Speaker 1: Hallelujah, prays the name of the Lord you get it now.
- 30:29Speaker 1: Don't just pray for direction. No, he guides, He guides, Hallelujah.
- 30:37Speaker 1: He guides the Holy Spirit. So when you see men
- 30:41Speaker 1: navigating their path through destiny in this forest called the earth,
- 30:46Speaker 1: and they keep hitting it with accuracy, it's not because
- 30:50Speaker 1: they're intelligent. There is an invisible force that says, hold on, no,
- 30:55Speaker 1: this man may be sincere, but there is wickedness in
- 30:57Speaker 1: his heart. Don't do business with him. And for the
- 31:00Speaker 1: reason you cannot understand, the Holy Spirit can relocate you
- 31:05Speaker 1: and tell you it's time to leave your village and
- 31:08Speaker 1: come to a budja. And you said, Lord, I don't
- 31:10Speaker 1: know anybody. He says, still come when you get there, Lord,
- 31:15Speaker 1: I am here. What should I now do? And you
- 31:17Speaker 1: will say, attend the immigration fellowship. I don't know anybody there.
- 31:21Speaker 1: Not knowing your destiny is connected to a job you
- 31:23Speaker 1: will get here. That is guidance. As someone learned something. Now,
- 31:34Speaker 1: please make up your mind to apply the truths that
- 31:37Speaker 1: you learn from this conference. This is why I'm being
- 31:40Speaker 1: as simple as possible, so that we don't just shout
- 31:43Speaker 1: Amen and we turn back, and then there's nothing that
- 31:46Speaker 1: shows fault in our lives. Now let's talk about his
- 31:50Speaker 1: ministry of revelation. The Holy Spirit is the revealer, the revealer.
- 31:56Speaker 2: Of the world. When you study the Word outside of.
- 32:02Speaker 1: The influence of the Holy Spirit, all you will encounter
- 32:05Speaker 1: is just philosophy. At the end of it, all you
- 32:08Speaker 1: will see when you study this Bible without the influence
- 32:12Speaker 1: of the Spirit, you will only meet a pletaua of
- 32:15Speaker 1: conflicting statements. Conflicting statements that will even annoy you. Why
- 32:21Speaker 1: did the Bible say this one? Why did this one
- 32:24Speaker 1: say this? The Bible was never intended to be studied
- 32:29Speaker 1: intellectually alone. Because you see, this Bible is both closed
- 32:34Speaker 1: and sealed. It must be opened and unlocked. Listen carefully.
- 32:41Speaker 1: This Bible is both closed and sealed, so it must
- 32:48Speaker 1: be both opened physically and then unlocked spiritually. Some of
- 32:54Speaker 1: you have gone as far as opening it physically. It
- 32:58Speaker 1: is now opened, but it is still sealed. Ah, it
- 33:04Speaker 1: is someone learning. Now let me repeat it for the
- 33:07Speaker 1: third time, that this Bible, ladies and gentlemen, please look up.
- 33:12Speaker 1: This Bible is both closed and sealed. The Bible was
- 33:20Speaker 1: never supposed to be studied intellectually alone. Inasmuch as the
- 33:24Speaker 1: Bible is a historic material the Bible is also a
- 33:27Speaker 1: piece of literature. The Bible has in its history and
- 33:30Speaker 1: archeology and all other things. But the Bible is wrapped
- 33:33Speaker 1: up with a mystery that until and unless the seals
- 33:38Speaker 1: are broken, you will only read it and find history
- 33:41Speaker 1: and literature and poetry and archeology, but it will not
- 33:47Speaker 1: profit you spiritually. Therefore, Paul, knowing this, pray the prayer
- 33:52Speaker 1: in Efficient chapter one. Please let's look at it. Efficient
- 33:56Speaker 1: Chapter one will begin our reading from verse seventeen. Efficients
- 34:01Speaker 1: one and verse seventeen. Paul is praying now over the
- 34:05Speaker 1: church in Ephesos, that the God of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
- 34:10Speaker 1: the Father of Glory, may given to you the spirits
- 34:15Speaker 1: of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him which
- 34:23Speaker 1: you gonna Next verse eighteen, he says, the eyes of
- 34:26Speaker 1: your understanding being enlightened amplified, says, flooded with light, that
- 34:32Speaker 1: he may know what is the hope of his calling
- 34:35Speaker 1: and what is the riches of the glory of his
- 34:37Speaker 1: inheritance in the saints. The Holy Spirit is the revealer
- 34:44Speaker 1: of the Word. First Corinthians, Chapter two. Please, from verse nine,
- 34:48Speaker 1: let's hurry up so we can pray. If God is
- 34:50Speaker 1: blessing you outside should amen. First Corinthians two, one, verse nine.
- 34:56Speaker 1: Here's what the Bible says. But as it is written,
- 34:59Speaker 1: a I have not seen, nor year heard, neither have
- 35:03Speaker 1: entered into the heart of man. The things which God
- 35:08Speaker 1: had prepared for them that love him were reading to twelve.
- 35:14Speaker 1: But God had revealed them to us. So he has
- 35:17Speaker 1: revealed it to me. But how did he bring that revelation?
- 35:22Speaker 1: By his spirits, not just by experience, by his spirit.
- 35:30Speaker 1: The things that no eye has seen, the things that
- 35:33Speaker 1: no year has heard. That it has not come into
- 35:36Speaker 1: the comprehension of man. But God has revealed them to
- 35:40Speaker 1: us by his spirits. So the ministry of revelation resides
- 35:47Speaker 1: within the office of the Holy Spirit. All kinds of revelations,
- 35:52Speaker 1: revelations of the Word, prophetic revelations. It is possible to
- 35:58Speaker 1: have a thorough understanding and an acumen of things to come,
- 36:02Speaker 1: things to happen, even though you are human. It is
- 36:05Speaker 1: by the agency of the spirits. Someone learning it says
- 36:13Speaker 1: the spirit, such is all things, yeay, the deep things
- 36:18Speaker 1: of God. What's you're reading now? For what man know
- 36:23Speaker 1: the things of a man save the spirit of man,
- 36:27Speaker 1: which is in him. Even so, the things of God
- 36:31Speaker 1: no man but the Spirit of God. That means when
- 36:35Speaker 1: you find man knowing the things of God, it is
- 36:38Speaker 1: not an ordinary occurrence. The Spirit of God has revealed
- 36:41Speaker 1: them to us. Man hon assisted should not know how
- 36:46Speaker 1: to command faithor man honorssisted should not know how to
- 36:50Speaker 1: command speed. Man honor assist sid should not know how
- 36:54Speaker 1: to command restoration. Man hon assisted should not be able
- 36:58Speaker 1: to lay hands on someone. Your hand is not a
- 37:01Speaker 1: surgery knife. Your hand is not pana doll. Your hand
- 37:05Speaker 1: is not anti malarial drug. However, a man can lay
- 37:09Speaker 1: hands on the sick, and what pana doll does, even
- 37:13Speaker 1: better can be done.
- 37:14Speaker 2: It is not ordinary. It is by the spirit.
- 37:19Speaker 1: Why am I saying this today because after this conference
- 37:23Speaker 1: it is only the only lookers who will be surprised
- 37:26Speaker 1: at your results. As for you, you will only be grateful,
- 37:31Speaker 1: not surprised.
- 37:32Speaker 2: You will know that it is by the spirit.
- 37:34Speaker 1: So I expect things to happen in my life that
- 37:37Speaker 1: should not happen to me. Men Shabako sca prind de kep.
- 37:47Speaker 1: Let's finish up that scripture please, it's just now we
- 37:51Speaker 1: have received not the spirit of the world, but the
- 37:56Speaker 1: spirit which is of God. Why did we receive him
- 38:00Speaker 1: that we might know the things that are freely given
- 38:04Speaker 1: to us? There are things that have been freely given
- 38:07Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. But whether you know it or not, Now,
- 38:14Speaker 1: when I came and I sat down there, a wonderful
- 38:17Speaker 1: woman lovingly brought me a bottle of water. Please give
- 38:20Speaker 1: me that bottle, let me use it for an instance.
- 38:23Speaker 1: She brought it just on on me, and I was happy.
- 38:26Speaker 1: But did you know that it's possible that I can
- 38:28Speaker 1: work out of this place? I never enjoy this blessing
- 38:32Speaker 1: and never even know that this was kept for me.
- 38:35Speaker 1: I can be thirsty and saying, these immigration people, is
- 38:39Speaker 1: it that you don't see that I left such a
- 38:41Speaker 1: distance to come here, even a bottle of water. Yet
- 38:44Speaker 1: from my arrival that bottle was dropped? Who did be that?
- 38:48Speaker 1: From bed? Favor has been dropped for you. Lifting has
- 38:52Speaker 1: been dropped for you from the beginning of this year.
- 38:55Speaker 1: The prayers that Mama prayed, the first thing that was
- 38:59Speaker 1: that you went God a sad but you did.
- 39:02Speaker 2: Not know how to receive it.
- 39:03Speaker 1: The Bible says, the spirit of God is the one
- 39:07Speaker 1: given that mandate to show you what has been given.
- 39:15Speaker 2: Thank you. Are we together? They know not?
- 39:24Speaker 1: Neither will they understand Palm eighty two from verse five,
- 39:28Speaker 1: they walk on in darkness, and all the foundations of
- 39:31Speaker 1: the earth are out of course. Verse six says I
- 39:34Speaker 1: have said, ye are gods, and all of you not song,
- 39:39Speaker 1: how many all of you are children of the most high.
- 39:43Speaker 1: Verse seven says, but you shall die like men men
- 39:46Speaker 1: and fall like one of the princes, because they know
- 39:50Speaker 1: not Chace the Ancient. You lead us alone, It turn
- 40:03Speaker 1: out highway. We want to follow the ways of Jesus.
- 40:10Speaker 1: We want to enter your ends. Will you show us
- 40:15Speaker 1: the chaner.
- 40:20Speaker 4: Lead us alone, it turn highway. We want to follow
- 40:27Speaker 4: the food steps of Cheesus. We want to.
- 40:31Speaker 2: And your.
- 40:35Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit, he not only reveals the Word, he
- 40:43Speaker 1: also reveals the will of God.
- 40:45Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit can.
- 40:47Speaker 1: Reveal because we see the power of God is restricted
- 40:51Speaker 1: by his will. Let me repeat again, the administration of
- 40:55Speaker 1: the power of God is restricted by his will. The
- 40:58Speaker 1: power of God is not a rise to go where
- 41:01Speaker 1: the will of God does not allow.
- 41:04Speaker 2: Tomorrow will look at that.
- 41:06Speaker 1: There are rules of engagement to receiving and administering the
- 41:10Speaker 1: power of God. The power of God has boundaries, and coordinates.
- 41:14Speaker 2: It does not just work anywhere. Ah.
- 41:16Speaker 1: The power of God is only authorized to work where
- 41:20Speaker 1: the will of God is. That means, if it is
- 41:24Speaker 1: God that is fighting a man, the power of God
- 41:27Speaker 1: cannot solve that man's situation because it will be fighting
- 41:31Speaker 1: the will of God. It is only the messy of
- 41:34Speaker 1: God that can bail that man. When God is fighting you,
- 41:38Speaker 1: you don't need anointing.
- 41:39Speaker 2: You need messy.
- 41:43Speaker 1: Because the messy of God will make him remember Jesus
- 41:46Speaker 1: and his substitutionary sacrifice that becomes the basis for his
- 41:52Speaker 1: now relieving you of all of these things. God writes, men,
- 42:00Speaker 1: you know, Oh, come on, is it not in your
- 42:02Speaker 1: Bible that God resists the proud? Who resists the proud?
- 42:06Speaker 1: What does it mean to resist? To resist means to
- 42:09Speaker 1: stop your advancement. To resist means to create an impudence?
- 42:21Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit, the confirmer of the word Isaiah forty four.
- 42:28Speaker 1: Let's read from verse twenty forty twenty six. Who find
- 42:31Speaker 1: somewhere to pray? Now, somebody will never remain the same
- 42:37Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus. To say it, the Lord,
- 42:40Speaker 1: I Redeemer, he that formed thee from the wound. I
- 42:44Speaker 1: am the Lord that maketh all things that stretched for
- 42:47Speaker 1: the heavens alone, that spreaded abroad the earth by myself.
- 42:52Speaker 1: It says that frustrated the tokens of liars, and maketh
- 42:57Speaker 1: define us mad wise men backward, and make it their
- 43:02Speaker 1: knowledge foolish. My interest is verse twenty six. That confirmed
- 43:07Speaker 1: the word of his servants and performed the counsel of
- 43:12Speaker 1: his messengers.
- 43:14Speaker 2: Do you know what this means?
- 43:15Speaker 1: That means every time his savant speaks and his messenger delivers,
- 43:20Speaker 1: if it comes to pass. The Holy Spirit, as representing
- 43:25Speaker 1: the Lord God Almighty, is the force behind answer prayers,
- 43:30Speaker 1: the force behind fulfilled prophecies, the force behind prophetic.
- 43:35Speaker 2: Words that come to pass.
- 43:38Speaker 1: So when you say a man is powerful, he spoke
- 43:41Speaker 1: over my life and said, may your doors be open,
- 43:44Speaker 1: and it happened. I am telling you that behind the
- 43:47Speaker 1: speaking of that man, that man I can tell you
- 43:50Speaker 1: was and is a not narry man. But that force
- 43:53Speaker 1: behind insists that what was said should come to pass.
- 43:58Speaker 1: Let me speak over someone already that in the name
- 44:01Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ, by the power that raised Christ from
- 44:04Speaker 1: the dead, by this time tomorrow, may strange stranger speak
- 44:08Speaker 1: over your life in the name of Jesus Christ, the
- 44:12Speaker 1: Son of the Living God.
- 44:15Speaker 2: Please be see there the Holy Spirit.
- 44:22Speaker 1: Without the influence of the person and the power of
- 44:26Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit, saying amen is a waste of time.
- 44:30Speaker 1: We only say amen based on the confidence we have
- 44:34Speaker 1: that he sustained within himself the ability to make the
- 44:38Speaker 1: world of God come to pass. How shall these things
- 44:41Speaker 1: be seeing that I do not have a job. How
- 44:45Speaker 1: shall these things be seeing that I do not have
- 44:49Speaker 1: a wound? How shall these things be seeing that I
- 44:53Speaker 1: do not come from a family that provides that advantage?
- 44:57Speaker 1: The Angel gave a brilliant answer. The power of the
- 45:00Speaker 1: Highest shall over shadow you. Allelujah. One more point, and
- 45:08Speaker 1: then we wrap up for this afternoon. What else is
- 45:13Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit ministry empowerment? I said earlier on. He
- 45:18Speaker 1: is the costodian and the administrator of the annointing. Please
- 45:24Speaker 1: write it down. The Holy Spirit is the costodian and
- 45:29Speaker 1: the administrator of the anointing. Isaiah, chapter sixty one. The
- 45:35Speaker 1: Messianic prophecy, theologically speaking, was a prophetic description of that
- 45:41Speaker 1: which will happen to Jesus in his earthwork. But then,
- 45:45Speaker 1: of course it applies to the saints. Verse one Isaiah
- 45:48Speaker 1: sixty one from verse one. Please look up. The spirit
- 45:54Speaker 1: of the Lord is upon me because the Lord hath
- 45:59Speaker 1: annoying ted me to preach good tithings to the Mick.
- 46:05Speaker 1: What's what the anointing does? Now you preach good tithings
- 46:10Speaker 1: to the Mick. He has sent me to bind up
- 46:12Speaker 1: the broken hearted. Please look up. You can have an
- 46:15Speaker 1: exceptional certification in counselling, and that is wonderful and important,
- 46:20Speaker 1: but it is not enough to heal people from the
- 46:24Speaker 1: pain that was caused by the assistance of demon spirits.
- 46:29Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
- 46:31Speaker 1: You will need to be anointed to bind up the
- 46:34Speaker 1: broken hearted. You will need to be anointed to proclaim
- 46:37Speaker 1: liberty to the captives. You know what it means to
- 46:40Speaker 1: proclaim li butt you to the captives, to announce to
- 46:42Speaker 1: them that their season of captivity has come to an end. No,
- 46:46Speaker 1: it takes more than good preaching. It takes more than
- 46:49Speaker 1: English and the opening of prison. You know it never
- 46:56Speaker 1: tires me every time I read this scripture. That means
- 46:59Speaker 1: there are human beings who are alive and walking, yet
- 47:02Speaker 1: they are in prison. Can you imagine that mobile prison?
- 47:08Speaker 1: A prison is a place of restriction. Remember what happened
- 47:11Speaker 1: to Peter, Remember what happened to what's his name again?
- 47:17Speaker 2: Paul?
- 47:17Speaker 1: And Silas they kept him in prison. A prison is
- 47:22Speaker 1: a place of restriction. A prison is a place where
- 47:26Speaker 1: you are not allowed to easily visit, even if it's
- 47:28Speaker 1: your loved one. You know this better than I do.
- 47:31Speaker 1: It's a place of restriction. Next verse we're reading to
- 47:39Speaker 1: four by the anointing that comes through the spirit, to
- 47:43Speaker 1: proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day
- 47:46Speaker 1: of vengeance of our God. Again still, by the anointing
- 47:50Speaker 1: to comfort all whom want Hallelujah. That the anointing can
- 47:54Speaker 1: empower a man to comfort those who moant, not by
- 47:57Speaker 1: saying sorry, by insisting that you will not cry again.
- 48:01Speaker 1: Are we together now reading to verse four to point
- 48:05Speaker 1: onto them that morning Zion. Still by the anointing to
- 48:11Speaker 1: give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning,
- 48:15Speaker 1: the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that
- 48:19Speaker 1: they might be called the trees or oaks of righteousness,
- 48:22Speaker 1: the planting of the Lord, that we might be glorified
- 48:26Speaker 1: verse four. And they shall build up the old waste
- 48:29Speaker 1: still by the anointing. Nobody has ever done this in
- 48:32Speaker 1: my family. I know my great grandfather used to be
- 48:35Speaker 1: a great man. Now all of us look what we
- 48:38Speaker 1: have become. The Bible says, they are anointing by the
- 48:40Speaker 1: spirit can empower you to build up old wastes. They
- 48:44Speaker 1: shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair
- 48:48Speaker 1: the waste cities and the desolations of many generations. My
- 48:59Speaker 1: catch up the three and eight, the Holy Spirit being
- 49:02Speaker 1: the custodian and the administrator of the annointing. But I
- 49:07Speaker 1: am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord.
- 49:12Speaker 1: I am not full of power just by prayer. I
- 49:16Speaker 1: am not full of power just by fasting. Those things
- 49:19Speaker 1: are vehicles. They don't bring power themselves. It is the
- 49:23Speaker 1: Holy Spirit himself that empowered. If you pray on first,
- 49:27Speaker 1: without his influence, you will end up feeling consoled that
- 49:32Speaker 1: you stretch through spiritual exercise and yet not be empowered. Allelujah.
- 49:45Speaker 1: The ministry of guidance, the ministry of direction, the ministry
- 49:52Speaker 1: of revelation opening you up to scripture, opening you up
- 49:58Speaker 1: to the will of God for your life, hallelujah. And
- 50:07Speaker 1: then the ministry of empowerment, turning ordinary people to super
- 50:13Speaker 1: human extraordinary entities. Unfortunately, let me not go ahead of
- 50:18Speaker 1: myself will have that to deal with tomorrow. Please do
- 50:21Speaker 1: not miss tomorrow's meeting, especially those of you outside wherever
- 50:24Speaker 1: you are. If there is no space, I will plead
- 50:26Speaker 1: with the migration on your behalf to allow you sit
- 50:28Speaker 1: on the zinc. But there has to be a space
- 50:31Speaker 1: tomorrow in the name of Jesus Christ, hallelujah. You see
- 50:40Speaker 1: when it has to do with the power of the
- 50:43Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. For most of us, especially in the Pentecostal
- 50:48Speaker 1: charismatic circles, the scope of our understanding of power is
- 50:53Speaker 1: an ability that can push a human being literally to
- 50:56Speaker 1: be on the floor. And that is not something to
- 50:58Speaker 1: play with. Do you know how stable a human being is.
- 51:01Speaker 1: Whatever can carry him on the floor, not a baby,
- 51:05Speaker 1: and he's not sick. It's not like you have a
- 51:06Speaker 1: problem walking. That has to be power, But then it
- 51:10Speaker 1: is not limited to that. The assignment of God's power
- 51:14Speaker 1: is to insist that this will finds expression in your life.
- 51:19Speaker 1: That means you know that the power of God has
- 51:21Speaker 1: found expression in your life.
- 51:23Speaker 2: It is the force that makes for compliance. Who would
- 51:27Speaker 2: deal with that?
- 51:27Speaker 1: Tomorrow I'll be showing you the assignments of spiritual power
- 51:32Speaker 1: and the annoying because there are so many people who
- 51:34Speaker 1: share anointing annoying. Number one, we largely do not know
- 51:37Speaker 1: what the annoying was sensed to do, and then we
- 51:40Speaker 1: have not discerned the operation of the annoying. So once
- 51:44Speaker 1: you see someone powerful or you just sense that fire
- 51:49Speaker 1: comes from him to you, he said, wow, this man
- 51:51Speaker 1: is powerful, or someone falls, or maybe healing and all
- 51:54Speaker 1: of that. The annoying is not just limited to healing
- 51:58Speaker 1: or physical bodies. As important as that is. The anointing
- 52:03Speaker 1: does not just heal men. The anointing heals conditions and situations,
- 52:09Speaker 1: psychological conditions, financial conditions. It's not only men who are sick.
- 52:14Speaker 1: Your account can be sick. I hope you know that
- 52:18Speaker 1: your mind can be sick, Your destiny can be sick.
- 52:22Speaker 1: What do you do with a sick patient? You take
- 52:25Speaker 1: that patient to the hospital. The hospital without a doctor.
- 52:29Speaker 1: Is it a hospital? That is the same way when
- 52:31Speaker 1: you first and pray and carry out spiritual activities without
- 52:35Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit, It's like taking a patient to a
- 52:37Speaker 1: hospital where there is strike. Will the person be healed?
- 52:41Speaker 1: What gives the hospital value is the presence of the consultant.
- 52:45Speaker 1: And if that consultant comes to your house, your house
- 52:47Speaker 1: has become the hospital. Allelujah, now hear me. Many believers
- 53:00Speaker 1: have ignored the ministry of the Holy Spirit for many reasons,
- 53:03Speaker 1: among them the number one because they believe that the
- 53:07Speaker 1: Holy Spirity is just for men and women of God
- 53:10Speaker 1: until and unless.
- 53:11Speaker 2: You want to be a missionary and evangelist.
- 53:15Speaker 1: Or some fiery man of God traveling from one nation
- 53:17Speaker 1: to the other, then you need the Holy Spirit. They
- 53:20Speaker 1: can bid you well. But for the average believer, we
- 53:23Speaker 1: have not been taught and even mentored to see the
- 53:26Speaker 1: relevance and the necessity of the Holy Spirit. So the
- 53:31Speaker 1: moment you feel I am a civil servant or I
- 53:34Speaker 1: am a diplomat, all I need is just wisdom, brain work,
- 53:39Speaker 1: and technical experience, and we stop.
- 53:42Speaker 2: There, respectfully speaking.
- 53:44Speaker 1: No wonder our lives continue to be a plectora of pain,
- 53:48Speaker 1: episodes of pain and disappointment, in spite of our knowledge,
- 53:53Speaker 1: in spite of our technical skills. I am calling on
- 53:57Speaker 1: us by this message this afternoon, we must retort onto
- 54:00Speaker 1: a place of a healthy appreciation for the passing and
- 54:04Speaker 1: the ministry of the Holy Spirit. In fact, it will
- 54:08Speaker 1: interest you to know that many people, if the Holy
- 54:10Speaker 1: Spirits were kept here standing and a jar of oil
- 54:14Speaker 1: representing anointing was kept here. Ninety five percent of the
- 54:18Speaker 1: people will ignore the Holy spirits are run for power.
- 54:29Speaker 1: You are the one that we praise. You are the
- 54:35Speaker 1: one we here all.
- 54:39Speaker 2: You give the healing and raise that are heart solways and.
- 54:51Speaker 1: So ways longer. We need to return back and say,
- 55:03Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, I started with you for some of you,
- 55:07Speaker 1: but right now I have ignored your ministry from the
- 55:10Speaker 1: day I got my degree or my master's or my PhD.
- 55:14Speaker 1: I ignored you because I was told that in Nigeria
- 55:17Speaker 1: it's just man no man i. And since I know
- 55:22Speaker 1: someone in the presidency, and since someone who has some
- 55:25Speaker 1: parastatolest my tribesman I don't need you. Go the day
- 55:29Speaker 1: government changes and I need you. And you know, the
- 55:31Speaker 1: Holy Spirit is so gentle. That's why the dove is
- 55:34Speaker 1: what represents him. He will stay back and allow you
- 55:39Speaker 1: with paen in his heart, while cheap victories become unnecessary battles.
- 55:46Speaker 1: Some of us in our foolishness, we chose him and
- 55:49Speaker 1: chose to remain with him. Reminds me of the vision
- 55:54Speaker 1: that I had never tires me to share when God
- 55:58Speaker 1: was Among the many visions that helped construct my call.
- 56:03Speaker 1: I remember very clearly in one of the visions, haven't
- 56:07Speaker 1: seen a generation crying that there was no food and
- 56:10Speaker 1: no water, And they pointed at me and said, you
- 56:13Speaker 1: are the one who is responsible for this state. I
- 56:16Speaker 1: took responsibility, but in that vision I felt helpless and
- 56:19Speaker 1: how could.
- 56:20Speaker 2: I help this? What do I have with myself? I
- 56:24Speaker 2: wanted to open the door.
- 56:26Speaker 1: But I was afraid because from that vision, it was
- 56:28Speaker 1: like there were some enemies who were waiting to hurt me.
- 56:31Speaker 1: I didn't have the power to fight them, and I
- 56:34Speaker 1: didn't have the intelligence to help these dear people. The
- 56:36Speaker 1: only thing I remember having in that vision was compassion.
- 56:39Speaker 2: But I made up my mind. I said if I perish,
- 56:43Speaker 2: I perish. Watch this. As soon as.
- 56:45Speaker 1: I opened that door, here was this giant, gray bearded man.
- 56:50Speaker 1: He just stood and smiled at me and said, bring
- 56:53Speaker 1: your hands. He said, I will work with you. Now
- 56:55Speaker 1: I know that it was the similitude of the Holy Spirit.
- 56:59Speaker 1: He held my tiny hands and we were walking, and
- 57:02Speaker 1: we were jumping from one building to the other. Look
- 57:07Speaker 1: what is made out of my life? You really think
- 57:11Speaker 1: brain work can produce this? Ah Bah, you are diplomats.
- 57:15Speaker 1: I am naive when it has to do with growth.
- 57:17Speaker 2: You know this.
- 57:18Speaker 1: You know the ins and outs of the psychology of growth,
- 57:21Speaker 1: and this by reason of what you do. Nicodemus came
- 57:25Speaker 1: to Jesus by night and said, Rabbi, we know that
- 57:29Speaker 1: thou at a man sent from God. For no man
- 57:32Speaker 1: can do these things except God be with him. My
- 57:38Speaker 1: life is a testament of a man who has been
- 57:40Speaker 1: helped by God. The Holy Spirity is called the helper.
- 57:44Speaker 1: Do you not know that God is calling on someone
- 57:53Speaker 1: in this conference? You may be outside standing, You may
- 57:56Speaker 1: be in any of the canopies the overflows, even be
- 58:00Speaker 1: inside here. He's saying, listen this, buttle over your destiny.
- 58:05Speaker 1: Your grandfather tried it with intellect and not it didn't work.
- 58:10Speaker 1: Why don't you come to the Holy Spirit and say,
- 58:13Speaker 1: I may not know my way around, but you are
- 58:15Speaker 1: the wisdom of God. I may not know what to do,
- 58:19Speaker 1: but you are the wisdom of God. You can help me.
- 58:23Speaker 1: I completely surrender everything. Let me tell you this. The
- 58:29Speaker 1: one thing I know about the Holy Spirit is that
- 58:32Speaker 1: he never uses what is not given to him. He
- 58:35Speaker 1: will never influence anything that is not surrendered. Let me
- 58:41Speaker 1: repeat myself again. The Holy Spirit is so gentle until
- 58:46Speaker 1: there is a conscious hand over and surrender of a life,
- 58:51Speaker 1: a condition.
- 58:53Speaker 2: A situation.
- 58:55Speaker 1: He can watch it but not touch it until you
- 59:00Speaker 1: she is officially invited. Many of us have not invited him.
- 59:08Speaker 1: And to wrap up this service this afternoon, we are
- 59:11Speaker 1: going to have to invite him. Amandered, the shadow of
- 59:19Speaker 1: your ruins, your influences.
- 59:24Speaker 2: All love over me.
- 59:28Speaker 1: I Amandered, the shadow of your ruins, your influences, all
- 59:35Speaker 1: lovever me. Hey, hey, I listen the same way you
- 59:53Speaker 1: gave your life to Jesus Christ. Consciously, you can't say
- 59:57Speaker 1: I got born again by mistake or knowing, although I
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: know right now our generation does not understand what born
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: again is. But remember when most people became born again,
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: they will ever ask you to write the dates so
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: that you don't forget. You can say I got born
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: again on a Tuesday afternoon. It was raining there, I
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: remember waring yellow sheets. They will ask you to write
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: so you don't forget. They wanted to draw that experience
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: to your money. Can I tell you so? Also, you
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: must have an official day in your life when you
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: hand it over completely to the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: There are no assumptions. I remember the point in my life.
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: Let me tell you how you hand over to the
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. You don't hand over by reciting a childe.
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: You handover by acknowledging that I am limited. You handover
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: by acknowledging that He is the greater, the wisdom of God,
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: the one who can raise and build and help. You
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: have to acknowledge He does not just direct your path
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: just like that. You must be willing to acknowledge Him
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: in all your ways, and then He shall direct your path.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: not the mighty man glory in his might. Let not
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: the rich man glory in his riches. But let him
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: that glory glory in this. That he understand that and
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: knowing me, is someone ready to pray? Now hear me?
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: There are two major prayer points who are going to
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: be having this afternoon. The first prayer point is the
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: prayer point of surrender. And please look at me. All
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: of us are going to be praying. But I hope
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: you know that you do not qualify for the ministry
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit until Jesus becomes lord of your life.
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit is not the doll Jesus exclusively is
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: the doll. There is no mention of the Holy Spirit
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: being called the dog. And I hope you know that
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: to enter any place in an authorized manner, you have
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: to follow the door.
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: If a thief follows your first into.
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: Your house, he's in your house, but it's you officially
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: welcome because it did not follow the door. I believe
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: there are people seated here don't care whether you are
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: a pastor you're a leader. There are others outside and
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: probably many following. And you're saying, apostle, as I heard
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: you talk about Jesus, talk about the Holy Spirit. I
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: have been stubborn. I have been stiff necked. I have
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: not truly yielded my all to Jesus' first and foremost.
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: Hallelujah. And I really want to make it right.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: Or I have truly given everything to Jesus. But somewhere
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: along the line, either because of cheerlessness, distraction, and whatever
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: it is, I cannot truly say that I'm working in
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: the faith now for the sake of time, will have
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: just one or two minutes for these people. Let me
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: start by making that altar called before we all together
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: pray to make this surrender if you are outside or inside,
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: may I please request with boldness and galancy and with
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: sincerity of heart, I want you to leave your seat
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: and come and stand here right now. If you are
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: still waiting for someone, then you may need to sit
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: back and come tomorrow. But our time is gone. You
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: need to come out first. Let's appreciate them as they come.
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: I count one to five, and then you come one two.
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: Their migration. Is this the best you can do. Let's
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: appreciate them. The Holy Spirit is still speaking to you.
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: He's asking you to come. Don't look at the person
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: who came here with This is the matter of destiny.
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: Come to Jesus.
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: Who is like him.
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: Lion and the lamb.
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: Run the mountains wild?
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: Are they coming? Very still?
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: The Lord of Hallelujah? Praise the Lord. Now, please look
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: at me. I truly want to salute every one of
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: you from making this courageous decision. Gone are the days
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: were when they make another call, people come out as
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: if they're being arrested. No, ano a call is a
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: noble call, the nobless call known to man. You are
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: coming to hand over to Jesus. There is nothing to
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: be ashamed and afraid of. You give yourself freely to
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: lesser things. You give yourself freely to lesser humans. Why
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: will you feel bad coming to Jesus? No, thank you
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: for making this bold decision. I truly believe there are
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: many more that should come. But we thank God for
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: the courage he's giving you and those who are following
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: by way of television, following by way of internet. The
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: Holy Smility is speaking to you in your office, your home,
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: whatever it is you need Jesus.
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: It's time to make it right with him, once and
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: for all. And perhaps you.
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: Are still sitting and saying, Apostle, can I run and
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: come out? Let me give you ten seconds. You can
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: still boldly come and join them, because I want to
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: pray right now. I really want to pray right now.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: The devil is a liar over your destiny. Come run
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: to Jesus.

- 1:07:18Speaker 1: of you are crying. Don't be ashamed of your tears.
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: Can you stay after me? Sincerely from your heart, Lord Jesus,
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: this afternoon, I have heard your word. I have come
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: to you just as I am unable to help myself.
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: But I believe that you are the son of God.
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: I believe that you died for me. I believe that
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: you rose again for my justification. Right now, I make
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: Jesus Savior of my life, Lord of my life, King
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: of my destiny. I declare that the power of sin,
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: of Satan, of hell, and of the Grave is broken
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: over my life. From today and forever. I am a
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: child of God, washed by the blood of the Lamb.
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: I receive eternal life into my spirit, and I declare
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: that I am the righteousness of God in Christ. I
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: go for whatever and backward never a man. Father, in
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: the name of Jesus, I thank you for this, precious people.
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: The Bible declares that as many who will come to you,
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: you will in no wise cast away. You have brought
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: them even by your spirit. I decree and declare, based
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: on the integrity of your world, I declare their sins forgiving,
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: and in the name of Jesus, I declare that they
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: are borna find recipients of the life of God. That
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: from today you go forwardever and back whatever. Indeed, the
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: power of sin, satan, hell, and the grave is broken
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: over your life. Welcome to this new life. In Jesus' name,
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: I pray. Okay, here's what you will do. For sake
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: of time, I may request that you please go back
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: to your seat. You will sit down. Is there a
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: form or something to give them? Okay, here's what I
