Transcript
- 0:00Key number one for every believer who means business with
- 0:03God, business with destiny and you intend to become a
- 0:08manifestation of this prophetic word that nations, men all and
- 0:12sundry will call you a sign. Any wonder?
- 0:16The first key is that you must have an experience with the God
- 0:22of the Bible. Now don't assume you understand
- 0:24what I just said. Please follow carefully.
- 0:26You must have an experience with the God of the Bible.
- 0:34I would always make reference to a statement that I heard and I
- 0:39learnt years ago. The God you know is the God you
- 0:43reveal to your world. You cannot reveal A lifting God
- 0:50when you have not encountered him as a lifting God.
- 0:54The God you know, the one you meet, is the one you reveal to
- 0:58your word. I hope you know that the God of
- 1:01Abraham is still the God of Isaac, is still the God of
- 1:05Jacob, but his revelation according to these names is not
- 1:09the same. No, there is what the God of
- 1:12Abraham alone can do that the revelation of him as the God of
- 1:16Isaac will not do. What Jaira would do is not what
- 1:22Rafa will do, although it is the same God.
- 1:26Are we together now? Yes.
- 1:28So the God that you encounter is the one you reveal to your
- 1:33world. If your revelation of God is
- 1:36weak and important, it is because your encounter is the
- 1:40same weak and important. Moses said Who shall I tell?
- 1:44Pharaoh has sent me. I cannot go and stand before
- 1:47Pharaoh and advocate an exodus. Just blindly let my people go.
- 1:52Pharaoh will say. What is the meaning of that?
- 1:54Where was that God for 430 years while these people were in
- 1:58captivity? And Moses said the issue is not
- 2:01the captivity, the issue is not Pharaoh, the issue is not your
- 2:05people, the issue is me and you. Who shall I tell them has sent
- 2:09me? I assure you that life and
- 2:11destiny will ask you this question.
- 2:13Who sent you? Who sent you that you want to
- 2:18build the biggest business across Africa?
- 2:21By what audacity do you know the controlling spirits that have
- 2:25tide and destroyed lives? Who sent you life will ask you
- 2:30Who sent you that you intend to be the first person from your
- 2:32family to rise and lift up the name of Jesus Christ?
- 2:36Who sent you? The God you know is the one you
- 2:39reveal to your world. Knowing another man's God is a
- 2:45good starting point, but you must get to a point where he
- 2:48becomes your God, Paul said. But I know whom I have believed,
- 2:55and I am persuaded is someone learning.
- 3:03Your conviction in this Kingdom is a product of the depth of
- 3:08your encounter. Please listen, believers.
- 3:11Many times believers do not take time to know God.
- 3:15They just brush over and the next thing they jump to
- 3:18principles, wanting to succeed, wanting to excel.
- 3:22It does not happen that way. No time invested in knowing God
- 3:26is a waste, no. Time.
- 3:29If you have 10 days for exploits and you use nine days to know
- 3:33God, you were not foolish, because the Bible says Daniel 11
- 3:41and verse 32. But the people he never said,
- 3:46but everyone, the people that do know their God, they shall be
- 3:54capacity #2 they shall do exploits, not talk exploits, not
- 4:03explain exploits. The people that do know their
- 4:10God, the people that do know the lifter, the people that do know
- 4:17the restorer, the people that do know the helper.
- 4:22You are strengthened in the place of encounters.
- 4:27The reason why we fall off when things happen around our lives,
- 4:32good or bad, is because our encounters are not deep enough
- 4:36to keep us strong, and so we ask God all kinds of questions.
- 4:41There's something you know about God that you laugh at failure as
- 4:45it laughs at you until it leaves.
- 4:47You will worry failure through your confidence and it will
- 4:51leave because there is something you know about God.
- 4:55For instance, the Lord is my light and my salvation.
- 4:58Of whom shall I be afraid of? Is that in your Bible?
- 5:03Did you ever read in your Bible that 1000 shall fall by your
- 5:05side, and 10,000 by your right side, but that none will hurt
- 5:10you with your eyes? Shall you see and behold the
- 5:13reward of the weekend? Is it in your Bible that I lay
- 5:18me down and I slept some tree? It says, I wait for the Lord
- 5:21sustain me. Who sustains men, the Lord.
- 5:29Do you believe this about God? You see your confidence and your
- 5:33audacity. Like I'm not talking of
- 5:35bragging, I'm not talking of pride.
- 5:37I'm talking of confidence that is built on account of the God
- 5:40you have met. Let me tell you this, life has a
- 5:44very nasty way of bullying men. Did you hear what I said?
- 5:49It will use the reference of your background to bully you.
- 5:52Satan will move through systems and structures and probe you.
- 5:56You think you can become anything.
- 5:58You ask Gideon why he was hiding life for you.
- 6:02Life can bully a warrior to hide, but when he came, he
- 6:09called him by his destiny. You are a mighty man or fellow.
- 6:13I wonder how many mighty men have been in hiding because they
- 6:17have not met a mighty God. When you meet a mighty God, you
- 6:22cannot be a weak man because the Bible says as we behold him we
- 6:28are changed not into what we want, into what we are
- 6:31beholding. Is someone learning now you need
- 6:35an encounter with God. You are a man of God here.
- 6:38You need an encounter with God, a businessman, an encounter with
- 6:43God. God has called you to be a
- 6:45witness advancing the purposes of the Kingdom.
- 6:49I tell you life will bully you into mediocrity if you do not
- 6:53know God. Man will look at you and say you
- 6:58do not add up. You can't be the director in
- 7:00that company. By what parameters?
- 7:06When Saul looked at David, he said, David, I love you.
- 7:08You're a little boy. I I love you too much to allow
- 7:11you die a miserable death in front of Goliath and David, said
- 7:18King, you're a warrior. I'm a teenager.
- 7:21But let me tell you a story you do not know about me.
- 7:24Once Upon a time, whilst I was in the wilderness, no Instagram,
- 7:30no Facebook, no one to snap me and let the world see.
- 7:35While I was in that wilderness, listen carefully, a lion came.
- 7:41There was no help. So I learned how to depend on
- 7:44God. A bear came.
- 7:46There was no I. I learned from the wilderness
- 7:50the vanity of the help of men without God, and I toy it with
- 7:54my bare hands. In other words, King, you are a
- 7:57warrior. Do men have the ability to tear
- 8:00animals by their own strength? But not when the spirit of might
- 8:04comes on a man? He said.
- 8:07It is that audacity that sponsors my confidence.
- 8:12Allow me take care of Goliath. And Saul now carried his Armory.
- 8:17You see, what God trains you with is what you will use in
- 8:20battle. If God trained you with prayer,
- 8:24don't use another tool. If God trained you with
- 8:27scripture, don't use another tool.
- 8:30Are we together now? If God trained you with wisdom,
- 8:33pay attention to the tools that are used during your training
- 8:37process. That is what will bring Goliath.
- 8:40Nothing wrong with the Armory of soul.
- 8:43There are many believers. After many years of investment
- 8:46with the Spirit, the world now begins to tell you drop your
- 8:49tools. No prayer.
- 8:51Drop that prayer, it doesn't make sense.
- 8:53Drop fasting, it doesn't make sense.
- 8:55Drop the Word, it doesn't make sense wisdom.
- 8:58No relationships, not exactly. Drop them and before you know it
- 9:02you are in battle with tools you were not trained to use.
- 9:10Are we learning? And David returned it to Seoul
- 9:14and said I will use what he trade me with.
- 9:17When he stood before Goliath, Goliath said am IA dog Israel
- 9:28you bring this little boy, I will kill him.
- 9:31Killing him is not the issue, it's how I will do it.
- 9:34I mean, you want me to give you a very bad memory?
- 9:36I mean I'm my a dog and David kept quiet.
- 9:39Silence is not here. Silence is not here.
- 9:46Let me tell you the truth. When mighty men are silent, it
- 9:49is wisdom walking. Ask Jesus.
- 9:53When they met Jesus and brought a woman who was caught in
- 9:55adultery, you would think because sometimes knowledge
- 9:59without wisdom makes you talk yourself even to failure,
- 10:03Silence. And he wrote on the ground.
- 10:08Maybe that's what Adam and Eve would have done if they were a
- 10:11little silent. The Bible says even a fool when
- 10:16he's silent is regarded. Silence can create perceptions.
- 10:23And he writes down and then he says he who is without sin
- 10:28should cast the first stone. And that was the end of it.
- 10:32So David stands before Goliath and says, Goliath, who is this
- 10:37uncircumcised Philistine? You come to me with your bows.
- 10:43You come to me with your spheres, but I come to you in
- 10:46the name. There is a God that I met in the
- 10:50wilderness. He's a warrior too.
- 10:54He trains men to fight. He says by you, I will run
- 10:59through a troop and by my God I will leap over a wall.
- 11:05No, you don't have that capacity to leap over a wall.
- 11:07You try that, you go to the hospital, but not when God is
- 11:10holding your hands. I'm saying this to someone.
- 11:14Listen, I want you to believe what you are hearing me say.
- 11:17God can't help men. Did you hear what I said?
- 11:21God can't help men. He can't help ordinary men to be
- 11:25extraordinary. I'm telling you, God can help
- 11:29men. What besides the man who stands
- 11:32the way of a man? God is helping.
- 11:36God can't help men. God can't help men.
- 11:41Maybe this is a prophetic word for someone.
- 11:44You have done everything in your own strength, intellectual
- 11:48strength, financial strength. Let me tell you the truth, God
- 11:52can help men and help has two assignments to make things
- 11:58possible and to make things easy.
- 12:02When God comes to help you, the intent behind his providing help
- 12:07is to make things possible and then to make things easy.
- 12:16Hallelujah, an encounter with God.
- 12:20Great men in the Kingdom, I'm made on the strength of their
- 12:25encounters with the God of the Bible.
- 12:27I can share with you stories, stories in my own life, and I'm
- 12:33grateful to God for the honor of the many encounters He's given
- 12:37me. When I talk of encounters, I'm
- 12:39not limiting it to supernatural visionary encounters.
- 12:44The Lord appeared unto Samuel in Shiloh by His word.
- 12:49God can appear to men by His word, giving light even from
- 12:54Scripture. It doesn't always have to be a
- 12:56visionary, out of body encounter.
- 12:59Not everybody may have the privilege of meeting Jesus as a
- 13:03person encountering angels. No, no, no, no, no.
- 13:06But once you can encounter His Word, His Word, not just the
- 13:14letter, the spirit behind it, you can read every day.
- 13:20Fear not. But the daylight comes from that
- 13:23Scripture. You see that it comes with a
- 13:27grace that empowers you to fear not, that what would have made
- 13:31you afraid would no longer make you afraid, because light has
- 13:35come from Scripture. Listen to me, ladies and
- 13:38gentlemen, spend time to know God by His Word.
- 13:45Don't be ignorant if you want to excel in life and destiny, The
- 13:49God that you know, the truths that you know, that is what will
- 13:54give you confidence, is what will give you audacity.
- 13:58Many years ago I read a few things in scripture, and looking
- 14:05from hindsight now, sometimes I'm tempted to laugh at myself.
- 14:08But I was foolish enough to believe God, and I was foolish
- 14:11enough to believe them. There is nothing God has said
- 14:15concerning my life that I do not believe, because every time you
- 14:19believe He gives you power to become.
- 14:23As many as believed Him He gave them.
- 14:25There is a gift that follows. Believing is called the power to
- 14:29become. Say it after me, the power to
- 14:32become one more time. The power to become what you
- 14:37have believed is given after you believe, not before.
- 14:42The power to become. You believe that God lifts you.
- 14:46The power to be lifted is released.
- 14:48You believe that God is your salvation.
- 14:51The power to become happens when you can't believe Him enough.
- 14:57Hallelujah. You need an encounter with the
- 15:01God of the Bible. You need an encounter.
- 15:04God is calling you to ministry here.
- 15:06Don't rush to go and print handbills and posters.
- 15:09No, no, the God of the Bible, infirmities and sicknesses and
- 15:16curses and yokes that are upon the people you are sent to, the
- 15:20spirits behind them will ask you who sent you?
- 15:23It's a question. If you cannot answer, you will
- 15:25remain defeated forever. Do you believe that?
- 15:33How about the business world? You may say I'm not called into
- 15:36the fivefold ministry. My God, you need the revelation
- 15:39of God more in business. In fact, in my opinion, because
- 15:42the king of Tyre, there is a spirit that sits upon that
- 15:45marketplace. Satan prefers a healthy church
- 15:48to a prosperous church. Yeah, because he knows what the
- 15:53wealth of the Kingdom can do in the hands of people who love
- 15:56Jesus. You may have heard me say in my
- 15:58teachings that the name of Jesus is very heavy.
- 16:01It takes resources to lift it high for the nations to see.
- 16:07Are we together? And so he comes to steal, He
- 16:12comes to kill, he comes to destroy.
- 16:14But the people that do know their God, the people that do
- 16:19know their God, the preachers that do know their God, the
- 16:23businessmen that do know their God.
- 16:25Fountain of life. If you do know your God, the
- 16:28Bible says you shall be strong. Capacity, strength, inner
- 16:33strength, emotional strength, intellectual strength.
- 16:37And then it says you shall. Do.
- 16:39Exploits do exploits. Everything that brings glory to
- 16:45the name of the Lord becomes your business Do exploits.
- 16:49Testimonies from your life. Men will look at you and you do
- 16:52not add up, but that becomes your concern.
- 16:55You see that As for you, you will keep leaping by the Spirit
- 17:01and one day you look at yourself and say, what is my business
- 17:04doing in 15 nations of the earth?
- 17:07How did I start? And when people come to ask you,
- 17:10you say, well, I cannot boast of knowing everything.
- 17:13But the one thing I do know is that when God holds your hand,
- 17:24I'm praying that you are believing what I'm telling you,
- 17:28my sister. God can hold your hand and
- 17:31transition you from a level of suffering and mediocrity.
- 17:39God can hold the hands of a preacher.
- 17:42God can hold the hand of an ordinary family for want of
- 17:46expression. And every time you see people
- 17:49extraordinary in the Kingdom, let me tell you, it is because
- 17:52God has helped them. And that help comes when you
- 17:56encounter the God of the Bible. I look at my life today and
- 18:01without humility sometimes I'm not a very emotional person.
- 18:05I've tried and tried to be just didn't work.
- 18:07And I told myself there's there's no point.
- 18:11I'm sure one day to come on his own.
- 18:14But a few times I cry and that is when I reflect on what is
- 18:21made out of my life. I look at my life and sometimes
- 18:26I say only a fool says God does not help men.
- 18:33Honestly, there are things that God does in your life that you
- 18:39are the first person to be shocked before those who he and
- 18:45he says when the Lord turn again the captivity am I professor.
- 18:50I know I'm just speaking when the Lord turn again that
- 18:57captivity owing in business, failing in destiny, trusting God
- 19:05for the fruit of the womb in the midst of mockers and naysayers.
- 19:10But when God comes and just picks you.
- 19:15Sometimes it can be overnight. Let me stand by the grace of God
- 19:19and speak over someone that by the power that raised Christ
- 19:23from the dead. If you have the faith to believe
- 19:25this, everything that has left you in shame, reproach, caused
- 19:31you to cry personally, corporately, I call upon my God,
- 19:36who is also your God. Come out of that situation.
- 19:40Now come out of that situation. Now come out of that financial
- 19:48situation. Come out of that health
- 19:51situation. Come out of that business
- 19:55situation. Come out of that career
- 19:58situation in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 20:03Please be seated. Can I sing a song for you?
- 20:13I receive. I manifest your power and your
- 20:22wisdom till the nations see Jesus lifted up, exalted.
- 20:34I receive. I manifest your power and your
- 20:43wisdom. Till the nations see Jesus
- 20:51lifted up. Glorified receive, manifest his
- 21:03power and his wisdom. Till the nations see Jesus, lift
- 21:14it up. Exalted receive, manifest your
- 21:25power, Power and your wisdom, Lord.
- 21:30Till the nation see Jesus, lift it up.
- 21:38Glorify. Breathe, Lord.
- 21:43Breathe, Lord. Breathe, Lord.
- 21:46Breathe. Breathe upon my life.
- 21:51So prayer tonight. Breathe, Lord.
- 21:54Breathe. Breathe, Lord, breathe.
- 21:58Breathe. Sing it one more time from the
- 22:03depth of your heart, that something from heaven will rest
- 22:11upon your destiny. The nation see Jesus till the
- 22:21nation see Jesus till the nation see Jesus lifted up, glorified.
- 22:37Listen to me, I'm singing it for you.
- 22:41What is your life And your results are to do the singing?
- 22:45The kind of results are to begin to flow from your life, and I'm
- 22:49speaking this upon you. And in this church you will
- 22:52begin to see extraordinary manifestations, manifestations
- 22:58of power, manifestations of wisdom that ordinary people will
- 23:04walk into this church and encounter Ebenezer, the God that
- 23:09lifts man, the God that helps man, the God that rewrites the
- 23:13stories of man. Where a little one becomes 1000,
- 23:25a little one becomes 1000. That God will fish.
- 23:30Help us from around the nation and bring them to your destiny
- 23:35in the name of Jesus Christ. Please be seated.
- 23:45An encounter with God gives you confidence.
- 23:50Gives you audacity. Do you know why God brings you
- 23:55to a point of encounter? Because the assignment that
- 23:58follows that encounter, Only the man who has seen God can do it.
- 24:04If you don't have an encounter with God, you will run away from
- 24:08the assignment he gives you. It will never be in the strength
- 24:12of the flesh for you to achieve divine purposes.
- 24:15Now when God tells you a thing you can do, you most likely had
- 24:20a demon because God would tell you something that that version
- 24:24of you cannot do it not in the strength of the flesh.
- 24:28He will always tell you what will make you need him to get
- 24:32the job done. Is someone learning?
- 24:39Why would you cut 12 Ordinary untrained people from fishermen
- 24:46and all of that? And you want to commit such a
- 24:49mandate to them? Haven't never learned anything.
- 24:53Is that a wise leader strategy? Many of you here leaders, you've
- 24:57stretched your intelligence, you've been trained by some of
- 25:01the best institutions. Would you carry such a Wick?
- 25:04Do you know that in selecting the disciples who would later
- 25:07become apostles, no man assisted Jesus?
- 25:10So you would not say human factors came in.
- 25:12How do you fast all night as the Word Incarnate and select the
- 25:16kind of weak people Jesus selected?
- 25:20But the question is, was the job done?
- 25:24That is called the wisdom of the just.
- 25:28Sometimes it may not subscribe to logic, but within that
- 25:34weakness is tremendous strength. Are we together?
- 25:38You need an encounter with God. I'm speaking to someone here
- 25:42because after this conference you should go and buy books for
- 25:46some of you. After this conference, your
- 25:48retreat starts three days with God crying and said, Lord, don't
- 25:53send me. If you are not going to reveal
- 25:55yourself to me, Who shall I tell?
- 25:58Pharaoh has sent me. You are sending me to be a
- 26:01financial apostle, a Kingdom entrepreneur.
- 26:04Lord, I don't want to. This is not about money.
- 26:07It's not about buying and selling.
- 26:10Wealth is warfare. The Bible says strong men retain
- 26:14wealth. Wise men get wealth, but strong
- 26:18men retain wealth. It takes beyond creativity to
- 26:23retain wealth. Intelligence, value that is
- 26:27served intelligently can bring you wealth, but it takes
- 26:32strength and capacity. When you prosper and remain
- 26:37prosperous, it's not a product of intelligence.
- 26:40Again, there is strength. Are we learning?
- 26:47Let me rush the remaining 2 and then we're done for tonight.
- 26:51But for someone who came here to hear a message that you need an
- 26:54encounter with God, the encounter you've had hitherto is
- 26:59not sufficient. I tell you sincerely, not for
- 27:02the assignment God is giving you.
- 27:03You need to go back and cry. I need to know you.
- 27:08You are sending me like oral robots, giving me the healing of
- 27:11anointing to go to the nations. Make sure you stay and know the
- 27:15healer. You will see cases that will
- 27:18rattle your fate. It is the revelation of the
- 27:21healer that will keep you audacious.
- 27:26God is granting you grace to be an intercessor, to shift the
- 27:29spiritual climate over nations. You must know God.
- 27:33If not, by the time your consistency in prayer opens you
- 27:36up to visions and you see certain demons and spirits, you
- 27:40will stop praying and literally run for your life and say this
- 27:44vision is not worth it. What is this strange being that
- 27:50I'm seeing? What you need to know, The one
- 27:53who has sent you, so you can look at those spirits and say I
- 27:57come against you, The spirits that have held onto territories
- 28:03and you swing open the gates of territories for the purposes of
- 28:07God to thrive, you need an encounter with God #2 the second
- 28:15key. You need faith becoming a sign
- 28:22and a wonder subscribes to the law of faith.
- 28:26Please someone say the law of faith.
- 28:30Faith is a law. The Bible says so.
- 28:35In addition to having an encounter with the the God of
- 28:38the Bible, you need faith four times in scripture.
- 28:41The Bible says that just shall live by faith.
- 28:46To live by faith means you prosper by faith.
- 28:50To live by faith means you go forward by faith.
- 28:53That the entire scope of the believers experience is faith
- 28:57dependent. Faith dependent?
- 29:00What is faith? Your persuasion, The depth of
- 29:04your conviction about God and the integrity of His person, and
- 29:10then the corresponding action that you take to support that
- 29:13conviction. Faith is beyond believing.
- 29:17Faith is beyond agreeing with God.
- 29:20You can agree with God, and yet you're not walking by faith.
- 29:23The proof of faith in one word is obedience.
- 29:30Whatsoever He tells you to do, do it.
- 29:34Not see it, not explain, not one to do it.
- 29:38Whatsoever He says to do, do it. Deuteronomy chapter 28 from
- 29:44verse one and two. The Bible says it shall come to
- 29:47passive. Thou shall diligently hearken to
- 29:49the voice of the Lord thy God to do and observe all that I
- 29:52command you this day to do and observe, Observe and do.
- 29:57Observe and do. Observe and do not just listen.
- 30:01Observe and do. It says You shall be exalted
- 30:04above all the nations of the earth.
- 30:07I saw the Scripture many years ago and I believed it exalted.
- 30:11It was not a parable. A man can be exalted such that
- 30:16you are void of shame regardless where you go to, provided it is
- 30:20this earth. There is honor preserved for you
- 30:22by reason of light, exalted above the nations of the earth,
- 30:27and that this blessing shall come upon you and overtake you.
- 30:31I believe that he says if they are willing and obedient, they
- 30:35shall eat the good of the land. Please hear me, There is good in
- 30:39every land, but it is faith that delivers your portion.
- 30:43Do you believe that there is good in Lagos?
- 30:46The increase of the earth is for all.
- 30:49The Bible says even the King is fed by that which comes from the
- 30:52field. That means in this earth.
- 30:55It is not that God decided to bless others and leave others.
- 30:59The increase of the earth is for all.
- 31:02But it takes faith to command your portion.
- 31:05It takes faith to insist on your portion.
- 31:09Are we together now? Jesus queried unbelief many
- 31:13times. He queried unbelief everywhere
- 31:16He saw it. Mark Chapter 11 from verse
- 31:23222324, but particularly verse 24.
- 31:27After Jesus crossed the fig tree, they came by the morning
- 31:30and they saw that the tree had been cursed.
- 31:32And Jesus said in verse 22, Therefore I say unto you, what
- 31:37things so ever ye desire, Say desire one more time say desire.
- 31:42It says, When you pray, believe that thou receiveth them, and
- 31:48thou shall have them. That just shall leave by faith.
- 31:53The businessman shall leave by faith.
- 31:56I learned early in life that there are no guarantees
- 31:58anywhere. The pursuit and the passion for
- 32:02guarantee is a waste of time. There are no guarantees.
- 32:06The strongest of men and systems still fail.
- 32:09There are no guarantees anywhere.
- 32:12You are going to have to trust God sooner or later and jump out
- 32:17of that boat and walk on water. Sometimes you will not even have
- 32:22the encouragement of other apostles, but you are going to
- 32:25have to trust God to walk on water.
- 32:27You want to build that house. There are no guarantees.
- 32:30One day you have to get up and buy, even if it's 5 bags of
- 32:33cement. That is all you have was start
- 32:36by faith. Are we together?
- 32:43Faith ministry is done by faith. This morning when the pastors
- 32:49got up, you did not sign on any form that you'll be here by
- 32:53evening. There are no guarantees.
- 32:55It took faith while they cleaned and organized this place.
- 32:59They knew what God told them about this conference and it
- 33:01made them to continue even when this place was empty.
- 33:04Now here you are. You see that now we live in a
- 33:09world that is obsessed with guarantees.
- 33:12Now I'm not saying be careless and be reckless with your life,
- 33:15but believe me, any man who has attained a position of exploit
- 33:20in business, in life, in destiny, they would tell you
- 33:24there were times they honestly broke the rules to rise.
- 33:27It will not always be about quietly, meticulously following
- 33:32the path of least resistance. There are times you have to jump
- 33:36out of that boat. Surprisingly, if he's the one
- 33:39who tells you to come, he doesn't allow you sink.
- 33:43He will defend his name even when you fall.
- 33:48If it be thou beat me, come. And he said come.
- 33:50He never said Peter come. It was to be everybody's
- 33:54experience. But the person who jumped out of
- 33:56the boat was the person who the testimony became around.
- 34:00He never said Peter come. If he said Peter come, any one
- 34:05of them coming now will be disobedience.
- 34:07But he said come. He's still telling people to
- 34:11come. He didn't stop with Peter.
- 34:14For some of you, he's been saying, come for years, come,
- 34:19come, rise higher in ministry, come, draw closer and you can
- 34:23become a greater version of yourself.
- 34:26But many of us are still having the fear of the other apostles
- 34:29while in the boat commenting on those who are walking and say,
- 34:32you see, I knew this would have been me not realizing that Peter
- 34:36only started sinking. He did not sink.
- 34:40Jesus held his hands. Are we together now?
- 34:46The assignment was to walk on water.
- 34:48Did Peter walk on water? The assignment is to prosper.
- 34:55If he says come, will you prosper?
- 34:58It doesn't matter how many times you try to sink when his hand
- 35:00holds you. The most important thing is that
- 35:03the assignment gets done. Are we together a possible that
- 35:10I've tried and tried and tried and tried to have the child have
- 35:13done everything. Why don't you trust God again
- 35:17that after this conference you begin to count your days?
- 35:22It's a master we have toiled all night.
- 35:24He didn't bring another sea, didn't bring another boat, the
- 35:27same thing, but he just added his word to it.
- 35:31Nevertheless. That's the factor.
- 35:33I die word. It is impossible to walk by
- 35:37faith when you are ignorant of the promises of God.
- 35:41You need to know the promises of God, representations of His
- 35:45commitment towards your life and your destiny.
- 35:48Spare me a minute to give you the third key and then we wrap
- 35:51up. But it's important for you to
- 35:54know that you need faith if you must succeed.
- 35:59You need faith to do ministry. You need faith to excel in
- 36:02Nigeria. Come on Nigerians, have you
- 36:07forgotten? There are too many things to
- 36:10remind you in this nation every day that you need faith.
- 36:14All you need to do is to wake up Nigeria for you.
- 36:20All you need to do is to wake up and you will find out that there
- 36:24is a reason from from your first stretch on the bed.
- 36:27You are reminded by everything around you that if you dare
- 36:30throw fate away, Hallelujah. Listen, with all due respect,
- 36:44you know how many pastors plunged to depression after
- 36:47COVID because for many of them they had contracts or bills for
- 36:52auditoriums they were paying and it didn't matter.
- 36:56The people said well we're sorry, but COVID affected
- 36:58everybody, including me. The contract still stands as
- 37:01discussed. How about the three months?
- 37:04No church, no service, no offering.
- 37:05Well, go and discuss it with the God who sent you.
- 37:08But as far as this contract is concerned, there are people who
- 37:12never recovered, there are people who plunged into
- 37:15depression. Am I right?
- 37:17There are businesses that went down, never to rise up.
- 37:23No shadow you will light up mountain you won't climb up.
- 37:41No shadow you won't light up. No shadow, you won't light up
- 37:43mountain. You climb up, coming out to me.
- 37:52No war you won't kick test. No war you won't kick out.
- 37:58I won't be out. Hear me, I rebuke the spirit of
- 38:07fear. For some of you, if you keep
- 38:13giving flimsy excuses, you will never make progress.
- 38:17You will watch others come behind you not to compare.
- 38:21Some of you have been given excuses from time immemorial.
- 38:25Why have you know I? I need to calculate how I cause
- 38:28fear right now. In the name of Jesus, I cause
- 38:34fear right now. My God has not given you the
- 38:37spirit of fear, but of love, of power, and of a sound mind can
- 38:43be fountain of life. I cause fear, the fear of death,
- 38:47the fear of sickness, the fear of failure.
- 38:51I call it by name, and I cross it by the God of heaven.
- 38:59The righteous is as bold as a lion.
- 39:04Listen, let me challenge you. Go and register that company
- 39:08after this conference. All you have is the money for
- 39:12registration. Go and register it.
- 39:15What do I do next? Place the CAC document on the
- 39:18ground and keep praying every day.
- 39:21Pray with your pen and paper. Let me tell you the truth.
- 39:32Fear is a cancer that has packed many destinies.
- 39:38There are people who fear. They fear to their detriment.
- 39:43It's better to feel honorable trying than to sit down giving
- 39:47flimsy excuses. Many of you have watched your
- 39:50vision transferred to people, those who had the courage.
- 39:53God gave you ideas. You kept giving explanation.
- 39:56He took it to somebody, somewhere.
- 39:59And the person began to run like Elijah.
- 40:01And that vision has come to pass.
- 40:03And you keep biting your finger. And I saw this.
- 40:06You are not the only one who saw it.
- 40:08Visions are like rainfall, whoever brings.
- 40:10Without a container receives it. Are we together?
- 40:19Last year the Lord gave me an instruction to go and hold a
- 40:26conference in Manchester, the largest indoor auditorium
- 40:32theatre in the whole of the United Kingdom.
- 40:35And that is a risk to hold a conference during a weekday.
- 40:40And then the Lord gave me an instruction there.
- 40:42He said there is a narrative about the church that I want to
- 40:47correct. And because of that you're not
- 40:51going to raise any offering. You will not collect any
- 40:53offering. We had a workforce of over 2000
- 40:56+ 5 people and he says you will feed every one of them, go and
- 41:00preach, get that place filled up, pay everything, do
- 41:04everything and return. I wasn't born in UK.
- 41:13If you don't have faith, you see BA no matter how you make it in
- 41:19Africa, we call it mouth make mouth and all of that, you'll be
- 41:23embarrassed to a point that your failure becomes a memorial.
- 41:29That every time people want to warn others, they say remember
- 41:32this person. Hallelujah, when God brought
- 41:40great glory to his name. I remember on my way back I
- 41:44said, but God, I fear you, I fear you, I fear you, I fear
- 41:50you. There is nothing God cannot do.
- 41:55Oh, because I said it, you didn't believe.
- 41:57OK, there is nothing you cannot do.
- 42:02Maybe if I sing it, you'll believe it.
- 42:10If you have said it, then you will do it.
- 42:17You have a trifle. Of you in your world, you're not
- 42:32about to stop doing it now. You are my.
- 42:35Zeal. Hallelujah.
- 42:44So #1 you need an encounter with the God of the Bible.
- 42:48If you truly intend to be a sign and a wonder #2 you need to
- 42:54understand the law of faith. Faith is predicated upon light,
- 42:59illumination, an awareness of the promises of God.
- 43:04I call them exceeding great and precious promises #3 What is the
- 43:11third and final key for tonight? And I want you to be sensitive
- 43:14now as we pray. The third key that will turn
- 43:26anyone to be a sign and a wonder is spiritual empowerment, the
- 43:32anointing of the Holy Spirit. Yes Sir, Acts chapter 10 and
- 43:42verse 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost
- 43:51and with power and he went about like he wants you to go about
- 43:57doing good healing all day that were oppressed of the devil, for
- 44:03God was with you. Isaiah chapter 61 the Spirit of
- 44:08the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me.
- 44:13Let me tell you the truth, the anointing of the Holy Spirit is
- 44:17more than oil, it's just represented in oil or mantels or
- 44:23whatever it is that you use. Oil does not anoint until the
- 44:28oil is anointed itself. Are we together now?
- 44:33So the anointing of the Holy Spirit is the embracing that
- 44:37comes from God. Please listen upon a life.
- 44:40It is the empowerment that transits you from a believer to
- 44:44a witness, the empowerment that transits you from a believer to
- 44:51a witness, from one who merely agrees with God to one who
- 44:56demonstrates that God is alive. You become a validator of God's
- 45:02claims when that anointing rests upon you.
- 45:06Now, I'm not because I'm just touching on it, but for you to
- 45:11know that there are different levels and there are different
- 45:14dimensions of the anointing. Every level of result in the
- 45:19Kingdom is sponsored by the anointing.
- 45:22When you see extraordinary manifestations of the Spirit
- 45:25happen, when you see people prosper in the Kingdom, there is
- 45:30something called the power to prosper.
- 45:34The power to prosper has nothing to do with money.
- 45:37Unfortunately, it's been wrongly understood and even thought the
- 45:41power to prosper is not a financial anointing.
- 45:43No, the power to prosper is the grace for advancement.
- 45:48That is what makes people go forward.
- 45:50You cannot move forward if you don't have the power to prosper.
- 45:55Finances is only a byproduct is a minute fraction of what that
- 46:00anointing was mandated to do. When God wants to help a man,
- 46:06there are three ways He helps that man #1 He exposes that man
- 46:10to His mercy. The ministry of mercy is the
- 46:14first way God helps man #2 the ministry of man.
- 46:19When God wants to help a man, He sends you man.
- 46:24Every time you are saying God help me.
- 46:26It's important to know how your answers look like.
- 46:29If you don't know how your answers look like, you will make
- 46:32the mistake they made in Acts chapter 12.
- 46:34They prayed for the release of Peter.
- 46:36Peter was now released. He came and knocked the door.
- 46:39They opened it and shot it at him and kept praying because
- 46:41they didn't know what their answers should look like.
- 46:44You must know what your answer looks like when you are saying
- 46:47God help me in Lagos, How will the answer look like?
- 46:51Messi two men 3 The anointing He helps men by placing something
- 47:00upon their lives that produces God like dimensions of results.
- 47:06Listen, there is no man who can do these things except God be
- 47:10with him, Nicodemus said. I'm saying this because I'm
- 47:13about to speak over your life, most of you.
- 47:20You've prayed, you fasted, you've said, Lord, take me to a
- 47:23higher M Can I tell you yesterday's anointing cannot
- 47:27produce today's results? You will need to be empowered
- 47:30again and again. Here's how it works.
- 47:33Thou anointest my head with oil. Watch this now.
- 47:38But my cop run it over. He does not anoint the cop.
- 47:43You only use the cop to verify what is on your head.
- 47:49Thou anointest my head with oil. The ministry runs over, the
- 47:53business runs over. So when the cop is failing,
- 47:57don't blame the cop. The cop is failing because the
- 48:02head is empty. Leave what you are hearing.
- 48:11There are various kinds of anointings.
- 48:14There is an anointing for influence.
- 48:16You can be as vocal and assigned intelligent as you are.
- 48:20A generation will not hear you until that anointing is upon
- 48:24you. I call it the hear ye him
- 48:26anointing. But when it comes, God will
- 48:31raise men from anywhere to anywhere to hacken to you.
- 48:37There is the grace for speed that gives men acceleration in
- 48:41life, because the most expensive commodity on earth according to
- 48:45scripture, from a human standpoint is time.
- 48:48And the moment time is against you, you are already in trouble.
- 48:52Destiny is measured as a function of time.
- 48:55So there are two remedies when time is against you.
- 48:58One is called Speed, 2 is called restoration.
- 49:05And when God wants to really help you, He brings both.
- 49:12Are we together? You know what it means to give
- 49:15speed. Much is accomplished by unit
- 49:18time. That's speed.
- 49:21You know what it means to restore, to take the events that
- 49:24you missed and bring them into your future.
- 49:29Or you think God cannot do that? So the helper who would have
- 49:36helped you last year, but because of insensitivity, God
- 49:39reprograms it again when you watch a movie.
- 49:44Technology has been able to help us understand how restoration
- 49:48is. So you're watching a movie and
- 49:49you had to rush to use the restroom.
- 49:51By the time you're back, something has passed you.
- 49:54But there is an ability to go back.
- 49:57Now. It is not the time.
- 49:59The time has gone physically, but you can reschedule that
- 50:03event again. Hallelujah, let me tell you the
- 50:10truth, and I submit to you, Fountain of Life, one of the
- 50:15greatest secrets in my life and the life of any great man I know
- 50:22in the Kingdom is the privilege of being genuinely anointed.
- 50:27You are not going to be a blessing if you are not
- 50:29anointed. Your real ordination is the
- 50:33anointing. Did you hear what I said?
- 50:36Your real ordination to ordain means to legitimize your
- 50:41operation. Your real ordination is the
- 50:46anointing. You cannot do the work of God
- 50:49without the anointing. You can sing, but you cannot
- 50:53bless till you are anointed. Are we together?
- 50:58You can preach articulately, so intelligently so, but you will
- 51:03be surprised that what you are preaching, regardless the value,
- 51:07it keeps falling on deaf ears, void of potency and the power to
- 51:13transform. The missing ingredient is not
- 51:15knowledge, is that that increasing is not there.
- 51:21There are people you need the anointing to do business and to
- 51:25excel in it. There is an anointing that helps
- 51:28you excel in the marketplace. It works like a charm.
- 51:33You can see someone and know by that anointing that this guy is
- 51:37worth my partnership. He will be great tomorrow.
- 51:39There are no guarantees. It's a knowing sponsored by that
- 51:43anointing. People have called it all kinds
- 51:46of names, but the Bible calls it the anointing.
- 51:50There is a graceful wisdom, wisdom beyond your age.
- 51:54You will run an organization like 30 people in one.
- 51:58When that grace comes upon you. Are we together now?
- 52:02So that when we begin to pray, my apologies.
- 52:06I know I've stretched you, but even if it's just a minute,
- 52:09don't look at the areas in your life that are not working.
- 52:13It tells you where the anointing is deficient so that you cry
- 52:16with intelligence. Are we together?
- 52:21There is a cry that is with intelligence.
- 52:23The cry of blind Battimio. Thou son of David, have mercy on
- 52:27me. There is a cry that is mere
- 52:31lamentation that does not call for help.
- 52:34But there is a cry with intelligence.
- 52:36Lord, you have helped me. But this area of finances, why
- 52:40is it not opening up? Don't give excuses this area of
- 52:44favor. You've called me to be an
- 52:46intercessor, but the moment I begin to pray after 5 minutes,
- 52:50I'm yearning myself to sleep. There's something that needs to
- 52:53quicken you and come upon you. Are we together?
- 52:58I open up the Bible to study and I'm sleeping, but when I close
- 53:02it, I can be on social media or my call for a long time.
- 53:06Something is wrong, but I'm praying for someone tonight.
- 53:12Something you didn't enter this building with will live with
- 53:14you. You didn't hear what I said,
- 53:19that when you were leaving home you came like Saul.
- 53:23When Saul left his father's house, he didn't carry the
- 53:26anointing he went back with. But when he met Samuel, Samuel
- 53:31said, is it not because God has ordained you?
- 53:35Listen, I like what Samuel told Saul.
- 53:39I think that's where we'll end this meeting with is it not
- 53:43because the Lord has anointed you not to be king, to be
- 53:47captain over his inheritance, captain over his inheritance?
- 53:54You need to know what God has first, to know when He makes you
- 53:58captain. The cattle on 1000 Hill belongs
- 54:01to the Lord. The earth itself is the Lord.
- 54:04When God makes you captain over his inheritance, you are captain
- 54:09over his resources, you are captain over.
- 54:12This is beyond being a king, Samuel said.
- 54:16I will tell you why I'm anointed.
- 54:17I'm anointing you. The Lord has made you captain
- 54:21over his inheritance, captain over his inheritance, captain
- 54:28over his resources, captain over his program.
- 54:32You're going to pray one prayer, Father, the kind of encounter I
- 54:36need to be a. Sign and a wonder.
- 54:40Let it rest upon me now. Go ahead and pray with power in
- 54:43the next one minute. Pray, pray.
- 54:47Cry from the depth of your heart, the grace for favour,
- 55:06pray the grace for speed, the grace for restoration.
- 55:19Someone pray that every area of your life where you've not seen
- 55:24the glory of God manifest, you can pray.
- 55:28And even if you've seen the glory of God in that area, it
- 55:32can be from glory to glory from glory to glory.
- 55:40If Jesus increased, you can increase.
- 55:44If Jesus increase in wisdom, you can increase in wisdom.
- 55:49If Jesus increase in stature, you can increase in stature.
- 55:54If Jesus increase in favor, my life by this anointing must
- 56:04become a manifestation of the glory of God.
- 56:26In Jesus name we pray Hallelujah.
- 56:30Do you believe in prophecy? Can I speak over your life?
- 56:36You see, the prophetic has been abused to a point that the life
- 56:41and the power that comes from it is no longer.
- 56:45Seen. Unfortunately and sadly and I
- 56:48know God is helping his body on that wise but let me tell you
- 56:51the truth, there are certain realms in the spirit you can
- 56:54never enter until the prophetic comes to midwife your journey.
- 57:00As powerful as Jesus was when he walked upon the earth, 3
- 57:04prophets had to play a role in his life otherwise he would not
- 57:08rise. Number one was Simeon the
- 57:11prophet #2 was another prophetess #3 was John the
- 57:17Baptist himself. Otherwise Jesus would have
- 57:19failed as Jesus the Word Incarnate.
- 57:24Among the many factors that control results in this Kingdom
- 57:27is the power of the prophetic. The prophetic can recalibrate
- 57:32climates, and you believe me when I say that recalibrate
- 57:38climates. There are two dimensions to the
- 57:40prophetic. There is the revelatory
- 57:43dimension of the prophetic where God reveals details about your
- 57:47life, brings edification, comfort, builds your faith, and
- 57:51gives you direction. But the more superior dimension
- 57:55to the prophetic is the creative dimension.
- 57:58It makes things to happen that had no business happening.
- 58:06When the prophet said by this time tomorrow he was not
- 58:09revealing what would have happened anyway.
- 58:11No, no, he made it happen. So the creative dimension of the
- 58:17prophetic scans events that are consistent with the will of God
- 58:22and with the creativity of a movie director.
- 58:25He picks those events and makes them manifest in your life.
- 58:31That means on your way out from this church, you were not
- 58:34supposed to meet a destiny helper.
- 58:36But the prophetic can come upon your life.
- 58:39Listen to me, believe what you are hearing.
- 58:43It can place someone on the road who has no business going there.
- 58:55So when God says I'm going to lift you, you see what happens
- 59:00is that the Spirit of Wisdom moves in honor to that prophecy
- 59:05if it is of God and begins to source for the human actors that
- 59:10must participate with prophecy to make it happen.
- 59:13Now men of their own accord can reject that prophetic word.
- 59:17It will keep scanning around Lagos until it finds a man and
- 59:21then it positions that man and acts out the manifestation of
- 59:25that prophecy. I pray for you in the name that
- 59:29is above all names. Every door that has been closed
- 59:33over your life. I stand by the God who has
- 59:36called me, and I speak to that. Door, Fountain of life.
- 59:40That door opens now. That door opens now.
- 59:47That door opens now. That door opens now.
- 59:53That door opens now everything upon your life that represents
- 1:00:01witchcraft and the activity of darkness, manipulations of
- 1:00:05familiar spirits, orchestrations of dark powers.
- 1:00:09I come in the name of the Lord, and by the agency of the blood I
- 1:00:13decree and declare that spiritual climate is shifted
- 1:00:17over your life. That climate is shifted over
- 1:00:21your life, shifted over your family, shifted over your life,
- 1:00:26shifted over your family, shifted over your life.
- 1:00:35In this Kingdom, can we believe us?
- 1:00:38Who hates you does not matter. Don't worry about who hates you.
- 1:00:42But who likes you? That is the person you should be
- 1:00:45concerned about. Are we together?
- 1:00:50If you are Esther, don't worry about Herman.
- 1:00:53Your concern should be a Hazarous that is the one who can
- 1:00:56make you king and that is the one who can remove you in the
- 1:01:00name of Jesus. Everyone ordained to be a helper
- 1:01:04by God who is yet to show up in your life by the power of.
- 1:01:09Prophecy I compel them to show up in your life.
- 1:01:15I compel them to show up in your life, show up in your business,
- 1:01:20show up in your ministry. In the name of Jesus Christ, you
- 1:01:33have. Lost relationships help those
- 1:01:38under the anointing you have, lost money you have.
- 1:01:44Lost many things. But restoration is a
- 1:01:49possibility. I want to place something on
- 1:01:52your head in the name of Jesus. I prophesied over you.
- 1:01:57Between now and the end of May I call upon the God of heaven that
- 1:02:02everything you have lost. Right from last year into this
- 1:02:05year, you have the faith to believe it.
- 1:02:08I declare restore, restore, restore, restore, restore,
- 1:02:15restore. I saw in the name of Jesus.
- 1:02:30Hallelujah, let me speak over those trusting God for a job.
- 1:02:37One time Jesus sent people. He gave a parable to look for
- 1:02:42men to go and walk in the vineyard.
- 1:02:47He met others who agreed for a denari.
- 1:02:50Later on, he was still looking for people and there were some
- 1:02:53unemployed people and he said why sit as thou idol?
- 1:02:57He said no man employs us. And immediately he spoke there
- 1:03:00was a there was something for them to do.
- 1:03:03I pray for you, your space in this Lagos or in Nigeria or in
- 1:03:08Africa or in any nation of the world.
- 1:03:11I push you by prophecy to that space.
- 1:03:16I push you by prophecy to that space.
- 1:03:20In the name of Jesus. Fountain of life, hear the word
- 1:03:39of the Lord. You are stepping into your
- 1:03:41season of laughter. I want you to write it down.
- 1:03:46I'm saying it to you by the spirit of the living God, Sarah
- 1:03:50said. And all those who hear this will
- 1:03:53laugh with me. This is what the Lord is saying.
- 1:03:56I should prophecy to you. And in the name that is above
- 1:03:59all names, the grace that backs that prophetic word, I release
- 1:04:03it upon you. Lifetime.
- 1:04:05Your homes lifetime. Your job lifetime.
- 1:04:11This church for the Bible says door weeping and yours for but
- 1:04:16for the moment and even with the night he says, but joy I
- 1:04:21prophecy to you enter your season of laughter.
- 1:04:26Testimonies upon testimony. God will turn your life around,
- 1:04:32turn your life around, turn your destinies around in the name of
- 1:04:37Jesus and every force that has found that you must cry and
- 1:04:43remain crying as a family, as individuals.
- 1:04:47I course it right now. Again, I repeat, step into your
- 1:04:53season of laughter. Please stand.
- 1:05:01Let's stand. Laughter is connected to
- 1:05:04victory. You don't laugh during.
- 1:05:07Trainings. Laughter is also connected to
- 1:05:11completion. You go and investigate the
- 1:05:16meaning of laughter. Laughter, like tongues, is a
- 1:05:19mystery. That is the reason why even
- 1:05:22babies laugh. They have no knowledge, yet they
- 1:05:25laugh because it's a mystery. Sarah cried for many years, but
- 1:05:31she laughed when Isaac came. That means laughter is also
- 1:05:36associated with the bathing of new things, new visions.
- 1:05:42Children, barring people who have not carried children, will
- 1:05:46stand on this altar and celebrate twins and triplets.
- 1:05:57So shall it be in Jesus name.
