- 1:08tonight, my heart is opened like never before.
- 1:13Give me an encounter by your Spirit.
- 1:18Let wisdom be poured into my destiny.
- 1:21Let direction come speedily. Let tonight's word come as a
- 1:26word of hope, as a word of prophecy, as an impartation of
- 1:31faith. Faith for the journey ahead.
- 1:49I see them resting in this leg. Mantos of wisdom, mantos of
- 2:15power. I see them resting in this
- 2:18place. Mantos of wisdom, Mantos of
- 2:29power. Tonight I see them resting in
- 2:33this place.
- 2:45I see them resting in this. I see them resting in this.
- 3:17Spirit of the living God, you are the Spirit that has come
- 3:23from the Father. You are the one who opens our
- 3:27eyes and shows us things to come.
- 3:30You are the one who makes the Word come alive.
- 3:33You are the custodian of wisdom. You are the custodian of power.
- 3:40Tonight we submit our minds. We submit our hearts to the
- 3:45influence of your person, and we pray that you will breathe upon
- 3:50us. We pray in the name of Jesus
- 3:52that this world will come to shift us to new dimensions.
- 3:56In the Spirit. Prepare our hearts tonight and
- 4:00we vow as always that in this place Jesus will be and remain
- 4:05revealed. Jesus will be and remain
- 4:09glorified. For this, in Jesus name we pray.
- 4:13Give Jesus a big hand clap and you may be seated.
- 4:17Hallelujah. God bless you.
- 4:20Good evening everyone. It's good to have us in church.
- 4:22The psalmist said. I was glad when they said unto
- 4:25me, let us go to the House of God.
- 4:29Many things happen in the House of God.
- 4:31The House of God is the place of wisdom.
- 4:35The House of God is a place where we find help.
- 4:38Is that the Lord hear you in the day of trouble.
- 4:40The God of Jacob defend you, send you help from his
- 4:44sanctuary. You'll find help when you come
- 4:47to the House of God. It's a place of hope and
- 4:50healing. You'll find direction by the
- 4:54Spirit. He says, thou shalt hear a voice
- 4:56from behind saying this is the way.
- 4:59Walk in it and you will buy it. Find rest for your soul.
- 5:03It's a place of empowerment where you receive all kinds of
- 5:11spiritual investments upon your life that make you effective as
- 5:16a witness. It's a place where you are
- 5:19sharpened like the arrows from a man's quiver, ready to do much
- 5:24for the Kingdom. And so when we come to the House
- 5:27of God, it's beyond a mere convergence of believers for a
- 5:31religious activity. We are here as proof that we
- 5:35love him, as proof that we trust his leadership as proof.
- 5:40That we know the power that is contained in His word with
- 5:45respect to its ability to make, to mold, to build, to refine.
- 5:50To empower and on behalf of Jesus, I welcome you.
- 5:54Tonight, as always, will be an extraordinary experience for
- 5:57you. If you are a believer and a
- 5:59receiver, would you shout a loud Amen.
- 6:03Let's give our family online a big God bless you.
- 6:05Let them know that distance is no barrier in Jesus name.
- 6:12A big welcome to all our international guests.
- 6:16We take the time to salute all those who come in from diaspora
- 6:20because we value and respect the sacrifice of distance.
- 6:24The time waiting hours at various airports just to make it
- 6:30for an encounter and warehouse of honor.
- 6:33And so I want to say thank you particularly to our
- 6:36international guests. The Lord bless you and lift you
- 6:42in the name of Jesus Christ. Many have come in already coming
- 6:45in for the convention. We do welcome you in the name of
- 6:49Jesus very specially. We have two important persons in
- 6:55our meets. One, he's a dear friend, great
- 6:57man of God. I love him with all my heart,
- 6:59particularly for his humility of heart.
- 7:02Reverend Ike Wednesday, please give him a good bless you.
- 7:06God bless you. God bless you.
- 7:08Thank you so much, Sir. It's an honor to have you in
- 7:11midst. The second is His Royal Majesty
- 7:16all the way from Ghana, Nene Drollo Bosso.
- 7:20I hope I got that right. Blessings to you, Sir.
- 7:23Thank you. Please be seated and it.
- 7:27It's very interesting to know that he was quite a close friend
- 7:32to a daily revet mentor of mine, late Doctor Miles Monroe.
- 7:37Such a joy to know that they shared very wonderful moments
- 7:41together. The Lord bless you.
- 7:43We're honored to have you and your team.
- 7:45I understand he came with a team A-Team of pastors and leaders.
- 7:49Do I have them around? Could you just indicate by wave
- 7:51of hand, God bless you, thank you, thank you so very, very
- 7:55much. The Lord will honor you in the
- 7:58name of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah.
- 8:03It's three days to the General Assembly, the happy three days
- 8:10exactly to this wonderful moment of encounter.
- 8:14And it's something to be happy about.
- 8:16I'm excited myself for what God will do in my life.
- 8:22It will start from me, then it will reach you.
- 8:25Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
- 8:27So this is one final announcement to our global
- 8:31community. We're happy and excited to be
- 8:33hosting this historic and generational move of God.
- 8:37By now you know that it's beyond a colonial convention.
- 8:41It's only a privilege for us to be that boat, that donkey that
- 8:46will lead to the triumphant entry.
- 8:48I believe that this will define a very prophetic season for the
- 8:51church, not only in Nigeria but the church in Africa.
- 8:55And this is one of the reasons for which we are excited.
- 8:59All things are set, almost set. We know that God will do us
- 9:03good. It's going to be an eventful
- 9:04week for us. In the name of Jesus Christ,
- 9:07we've prayed, we've prepared, we've given our all and our
- 9:10best. And the horses for sure prepared
- 9:12for battle. But I can tell you, the God of
- 9:15safety, the God of wonders is about to rest His hand and His
- 9:18glory upon us like never before. You believe that?
- 9:21Say Amen. Now just two or three quick
- 9:25announcements and then I'll get to the word for tonight.
- 9:30First is concerning the viewing centers.
- 9:32I promised us last week that we'll put in a word concerning
- 9:36the viewing centres. There are many people across the
- 9:38globe who have requested to set up viewing centres for the
- 9:43convention, and we put up a team of people together to come up
- 9:48with a system so that we do it orderly.
- 9:50And by God's grace we have that set.
- 9:54So here's what you will do, Media, I think if you're ready,
- 9:57just give us the link. So this is what will happen.
- 10:00All of those who are interested in setting up the viewing
- 10:03centres for the convention across any and all nations of
- 10:06the Earth, please do well to scan the QR code.
- 10:09It'll take you to a page where we'll just have you complete a
- 10:13few details and then we have penned down a few guidelines to
- 10:18help you so that we're orderly and we are efficient.
- 10:21It's a seamless process and in minutes you'd complete
- 10:25everything and thereafter you have our blessings to be able to
- 10:28set up the viewing center so that it becomes an extension of
- 10:33what God is doing here to the nations of the earth.
- 10:35We bless it. We decree and declare the name
- 10:38of Jesus Christ, that many through the viewing centers will
- 10:41encounter the same grace, the same power as it is here.
- 10:45One day they'll come and stand and testify that I watched and I
- 10:48followed from the viewing center and I contacted Grace.
- 10:51You believe that for them say Amen, Hallelujah.
- 10:55All right, so that's about the viewing center.
- 10:57Next is by the grace of God, because it's a five day
- 11:03convention, we have decided to support particularly within our
- 11:08city with bosses and Hallelujah. So we have worked in partnership
- 11:17with the security and transport department and there are a
- 11:20number of routes as you see displayed.
- 11:24We want to ensure that we as much as possible support as many
- 11:29people. There's a lot of buses, I think
- 11:31it's over maybe 300, three, 150 or there about buses of this
- 11:38sort as you see. So it's we're making sure that
- 11:42we make that available across all the routes as you see there
- 11:46Nanya Maraba massacre axis, then we have the Lube Airport Rd.
- 11:51axis, we have the Kubwa day day axis and then we have the
- 11:55Gwagwalada axis. And please take advantage of
- 11:59this. The shuttles will be daily all
- 12:03through the time of the convention.
- 12:07I hope that this becomes a well appreciated contribution to be
- 12:12able to help as many so that by doing that is also an expression
- 12:19of the love of Jesus reaching to those who might not find it as
- 12:25easy, you know, to transport themselves every day.
- 12:28We have a total of 8 sessions beginning from Wednesday night
- 12:32and ending at Sunday night. And it's only responsible and
- 12:36thoughtful of us to be mindful of some of the people who might
- 12:41not yet have the wherewithal to stretch that far.
- 12:44And so as a communication of love and responsibility, we have
- 12:47done this, and we hope that it will be a great relief for many.
- 12:51If you're excited again, let's give Jesus a big hand clap.
- 12:54And then please do send the word for the sake of those who might
- 12:59not be able to know this, you know, would announce it at the
- 13:05stadium, but at least because it's available right from day
- 13:09one. So please make sure you send
- 13:11word to us many God will bless and help us in Jesus precious
- 13:16name, Hallelujah. Praise God.
- 13:20Now every one of the sessions beginning from Wednesday to
- 13:27Sunday, our final session, has been built tailor made for
- 13:31maximum spiritual impact from the choice of the speakers to
- 13:38the structure of the service, where people who are very
- 13:42intentional about maximum spiritual impact.
- 13:45And you can be sure that every session has been so designed to
- 13:49incrementally, progressively push us towards the zenith of
- 13:55what God has preordained for this convention.
- 13:58And so let me encourage everyone, it's a moment of
- 14:02spiritual emphasis. Take it as a retreat.
- 14:04It'll stretch you a bit, but then it is for our profiting.
- 14:08The Lord will bless us in Jesus name.
- 14:11And I have good news for you. It is, it is, it is quite, it's
- 14:16quite a wonderful one to know that by the grace of God, our
- 14:19mother in the Lord, Mummy Geo will also be coming.
- 14:23Hallelujah. It's it's quite a profound,
- 14:27profound honor. I don't know.
- 14:29I don't know what we have done that God has shown us this
- 14:32favor. It's not only a blessing to have
- 14:35our Father in the Lord, but by the grace of God, our beloved
- 14:39mother in the Lord, matriarch of matriarchs will also be there.
- 14:43And by God's grace, she'll be speaking, a motherly blessing
- 14:49and just speaking over a generation.
- 14:52I thought you'll be more excited than you are showing.
- 14:55Hallelujah. So that's the first good news.
- 14:59And the second good news is in a way that is, is is usually not
- 15:04the norm, by the grace of God our Father, that the Jew will be
- 15:07starting the convention. Hallelujah.
- 15:11Now that's, that's, that's something that again, I don't
- 15:14know. I don't know why God has decided
- 15:18to do this to us. Usually he just comes in any
- 15:21session. Once you are inviting someone of
- 15:23that capacity, you just clear any day.
- 15:27That's usually how it works. Just keep any day open for when
- 15:30his schedule will be able to make it.
- 15:32But we're profoundly honored to have this.
- 15:35So Wednesday night is literally going to be a time bomb as we
- 15:39start our father and our mother in the Lord.
- 15:42Daddy and Mommy Jio will be there.
- 15:45Live with us, speaking and prophesying releasing graces.
- 15:49Come on Koinonia, are you excited?
- 15:53Now you know why we sing Hosanna.
- 15:55You know why we shout Hosanna. God has shown us help where
- 16:00people marvelously helped by God.
- 16:04So send word around. Let it be an extraordinary
- 16:07encounter in Jesus name. Hallelujah, please.
- 16:11You may be seated now very quickly I want to set a
- 16:16foundation for the things that God is going to be doing.
- 16:19I owe you and our global family a responsibility to prepare our
- 16:23hearts and very quickly. I just penned down a few things
- 16:29that I believe will help us maximize the experience of the
- 16:33convention as a charge, and you may want to take this down and
- 16:37listen attentively most. Times people attend.
- 16:41Very destiny defining prophetic programs of all sorts within a
- 16:46country like ours and across the globe.
- 16:48And at the end of it, all that they have is a memorial that
- 16:52they attended, a great meeting where they had so and so attend.
- 16:56And there's no evidence of change, transformation, increase
- 17:00advancement in their lives. They only have photos to show
- 17:04they were there. But there's nothing portent from
- 17:07a spiritual standpoint that attests to the fact that they
- 17:10really met with God. And I thought that in preparing,
- 17:13we shouldn't just do billboards, publicity materials.
- 17:18I think the greatest platform that needs preparation is our
- 17:21heart. Do you agree with that?
- 17:23And so very quickly, I want to, by way of summary, just help you
- 17:28with a few keys to maximize your experience at the convention.
- 17:33This is not my sermon tonight, but I just wanted to do that to
- 17:36lay a foundation. Number one, the first way to
- 17:40maximize a prophetic destiny defining convention like God has
- 17:45granted us the privilege to host.
- 17:47The first key is to come early. Come on time.
- 17:51Every moment that's been designed for that program was
- 17:55designed by God with you in mind.
- 17:58The first way to maximize conferences like this is to come
- 18:02early in prophetic seasons. Timing matters.
- 18:06Come early. Don't come.
- 18:08Imagine you coming when we're sharing the grace or when we're
- 18:12deep into the teachings. You'll be hardly be able to
- 18:16connect to the flow of what God is doing.
- 18:19Everything from the prayer, the worship, the testimonies, the
- 18:23announcement, the various ministrations culminating to the
- 18:26ministry of the Word, the prophetic blessings, until the
- 18:30benediction. It was so designed by the wisdom
- 18:33of God for maximum spiritual impact.
- 18:36And so when you want to maximize a spiritual experience, the
- 18:41first thing you need is timing. Come early and come on time.
- 18:47Connect early and connect on time #2 very quickly.
- 18:52Participate in every aspect of the service.
- 18:56That's the second way to maximize prophetic meetings.
- 18:59Participate in every aspect of the service.
- 19:03Do not select the part of the service you want.
- 19:07You see, it's pride, and in fact, quite honestly, it's
- 19:11foolishness. Because don't forget that the
- 19:14chief host of any prophetic program is God himself, and He's
- 19:19the one who has put various packages spread across the
- 19:24various activities that make up that meeting.
- 19:27And so it's unwise for you to carnally select.
- 19:31Sometimes Your greatest point of prophet in that meeting will not
- 19:36even come from the sermon. It may come from the worship.
- 19:40Sometime it may come from the opening prayer.
- 19:42One scripture someone will share will rest upon your heart, and
- 19:47that becomes for you the compass to define a new season for
- 19:51someone. It may be the final word that
- 19:53the man of God brings in passing as is closing the service.
- 19:57So you want to maximize prophetic meetings.
- 20:00You must be determined and be willing to not only be there,
- 20:03but participate. Generally, believers are
- 20:06careless when it has to do with designing the flow of spiritual
- 20:10things in a meeting. So until the man of God, whoever
- 20:14he or she is, steps in, they do not really believe that the
- 20:17service is worth their rapt attention.
- 20:20So through the praise session, the worship, the testimonies,
- 20:24you'll find some just idling away and you know that their
- 20:28minds are not, they are not fixated on Jesus until the great
- 20:31man of God or the great woman of God, as respectful as that is.
- 20:35When they show up now, they try to give their attention, but
- 20:38that's not how spiritual things work.
- 20:40He is the chief host and every aspect of the service is
- 20:45deserving. Of your rapt attention #3.
- 20:49To maximize spiritual experiences, be open hearted and
- 20:54malleable towards the ministry of the world.
- 20:58Be open hearted and malleable towards the ministry of the
- 21:04world. In other words, you must take
- 21:06the posture of a learner. Be open hearted and malleable,
- 21:14bendable towards the Ministry. Of the world.
- 21:17You'll never maximize prophetic meetings when you come with an
- 21:21arrival, an emoji, a champions mentality, if you understand
- 21:26what I mean. The Bible says to receive with
- 21:29meekness the word engrafted. Word.
- 21:35Most times, particularly for those of us who are in the
- 21:37ministry, when we come for prophetic programs like this,
- 21:40because of the nature, the ambience, you know, and you know
- 21:45the how historic such meetings are.
- 21:48Sometimes we come with, you know, this air of pride.
- 21:52Let me see if I can learn one or two things.
- 21:54That's the way of mediocres. Those who are champions in the
- 21:57Kingdom know that there's always room for more.
- 22:00Paul, at the zenith of his Apostolic ministry, said this
- 22:03One thing I do for getting the things that are behind me and
- 22:06reaching forth for the things that are before me, he says.
- 22:09I press, I press towards the mark of the high calling in
- 22:13Christ. Are we together?
- 22:15You know those who are champions because there is an ever
- 22:19increasing appetite for more. Paul, at the zenith of his
- 22:23Apostolic ministry said that I may know him.
- 22:26This is someone who had such level of spiritual understanding
- 22:30that even Peter had to commend that.
- 22:33He's saying his understanding was very hard and deep.
- 22:38Be open hearted and be malleable towards the ministry of the
- 22:41world. This is more important if you
- 22:45have not yet obtained results in the areas where you desire
- 22:51results. At.
- 22:53It's even understandable if you have achieved so much in the
- 22:57Kingdom. At least we can give the benefit
- 22:59of doubt. But usually those who are stiff
- 23:02and and very inflexible to the ministry of the world are those
- 23:06who do not yet have a testing results to show.
- 23:09Praise the name of the Lord. And so it's important for you to
- 23:12be open hearted and to be malleable towards the ministry
- 23:16of the world. Take and maintain the posture of
- 23:20a learner, the posture of a student.
- 23:22Did you know that the number of pastors who I know generally as
- 23:30a principal, when they come for prophetic meetings like this,
- 23:34they make sure they hide away from any opportunity to either
- 23:39put them in front or put them anywhere.
- 23:41Not because there's anything wrong with Arnold, they just
- 23:43believe that sometimes that formality becomes an
- 23:46interruption. They want to hide somewhere
- 23:49where they can shout, they can scream, they can express
- 23:52themselves without the camera capturing their face.
- 23:54And there are people like that, champions in ministry, business,
- 23:58politics. They are not interested in all
- 24:00the paraphernalia around ministry.
- 24:02They just want to hide somewhere and do business with God in deep
- 24:06waters. And so you must be open hearted
- 24:08and malleable towards the ministry of the world.
- 24:11Next will be #4 ready teaching you how to maximize prophetic
- 24:16meetings. Temporarily suspend the desire
- 24:20for excessive comfort. Temporarily suspend the desire
- 24:25for excessive comfort. In other words, be willing to
- 24:29make sacrifices with joy. Still is the same statement.
- 24:35Temporarily suspend the desire for excessive comfort and then
- 24:40be willing to make sacrifices with joy.
- 24:44Nobody steps into a prophetic meeting.
- 24:48Are we together desiring comfort?
- 24:51No, you are not going into a five star hotel.
- 24:53You are not. It's not some.
- 24:55It's not some kind of global presentation somewhere.
- 24:59It's an encounter. Are we together now?
- 25:02A woman who is ready to give birth to a child would not sit
- 25:06and be asking, you know what, what?
- 25:08And what do I want? I want a certain kind of
- 25:10ambience. No, her her focus is on pushing
- 25:14to make sure that both mother and baby are fine.
- 25:18And that's the attitude you must have.
- 25:21Temporarily suspend the desire for excessive comfort.
- 25:27I remember many years ago when we travel across the North,
- 25:30across the West, going for conferences and, you know,
- 25:34conventions, we were not concerned about comfort.
- 25:38It was the. Least of the things.
- 25:40Sometimes we arrive there and quite honestly, because we
- 25:44arrived so late, the car would have had to park somewhere.
- 25:47We didn't even have time to take our bath or do whatever we just
- 25:51said. You know what, I'm not?
- 25:52I'm a niche person, but this one is a bargain with destiny.
- 25:55I won't miss my timing. I can take my bath later on.
- 25:58I mean, we just rush and sit because we just arrived late and
- 26:01we have to connect, receive first, and after we receive and
- 26:05cry and shout, then we can go and now bath with joy, knowing
- 26:09that there's something on our head.
- 26:10What I cannot wash. You see that now.
- 26:15Praise the name of the Lord. So sometimes the obsession for
- 26:19excessive comfort can rob men of an opportunity.
- 26:23Reminds me of when I would attend Reinhard Bonkers crusades
- 26:28of blessed memory. In fact, those days there were
- 26:32no chairs. If you know anything about his
- 26:33crusades, no chairs. You would stand there and sorry
- 26:37for you if you came early. You would stand there for hours
- 26:41and by the time you turn back, there's a sea of people behind
- 26:44you. You can't go left, you can't go
- 26:46right. The the road you will follow to
- 26:49go out is already blocked. So you just stand there.
- 26:52And many of you have heard me humorously saying that in one of
- 26:55the days, there was a pregnant woman who was standing close to
- 26:58me, I'm telling you, And this woman would get tired.
- 27:00I pitied her myself. And there was a time she even
- 27:04leaned on me. And I was tempted to say, Madam,
- 27:06I'm not. This is not my responsibility.
- 27:09I mean, how I didn't play a role in in this this in this arrival.
- 27:14I mean, I'm here for my destiny. And, well, let me just assume
- 27:19the son is a prophet too. So I will play a midwife like
- 27:23Eli. But that was the price that was
- 27:26paid. When a generation becomes overly
- 27:31obsessed with comfort, they miss spiritual things.
- 27:35The Cave of Abdullah is not the place of excessive comfort.
- 27:38The wilderness is not the place of excessive comfort.
- 27:41The grace that is gotten in the wilderness is what takes you to
- 27:44the palace. When you get there, then the
- 27:47palace is already designed for maximum comfort.
- 27:50It's someone learning now. So temporarily suspend the
- 27:53desire for excessive comfort. Be willing to make sacrifices
- 27:58with joy. The next key, very quickly.
- 28:02Are you ready? Deliberately refuse and reject
- 28:06offense. Oh, this is a big one.
- 28:10You must deliberately refuse. And deliberately reject offense
- 28:15as an act of your will. One of the ways I know that
- 28:20Satan cheats people when they step.
- 28:22Into prophetic seasons and I'm going to be speaking along that
- 28:25line is a spirit of offense. Haven't done all, haven't
- 28:31prayed, haven't fasted. Just because you came and
- 28:34someone sat on your seat, you now look at the person and say,
- 28:37let me tell you, I was a cultist before I got born again.
- 28:40And then I also did Taekwondo. I did all of that.
- 28:43And just because my mind is renewed does not mean my
- 28:46abilities are lost. If you don't stand up from my
- 28:48seat and you start creating a lot of problems, I will beat you
- 28:52up. You start using all kinds of
- 28:54things. No, make up your mind as an act
- 28:58of your will. I reject offense.
- 29:01Say that after me. You're going to say that many
- 29:04times in the course of this service.
- 29:05So practice it early. Say I reject offense.
- 29:10Hallelujah. Amazing how people can miss
- 29:12something that is transgenerational, something
- 29:16that is holy and powerful from heaven.
- 29:18And because sometimes of petty issues.
- 29:21Very petty issues. Your spouse spoke to you in a
- 29:25way that should not be, and because of that, every
- 29:28impartation from the day falls on a close head.
- 29:33Are we together? Someone called you brother man
- 29:36of God instead of Apostle man of God or Prophet man of God and
- 29:40simply because the title was not added you lose out on everything
- 29:45God desire to do shouldn't. Be, shouldn't be, are we
- 29:48together? So make up your mind to
- 29:51deliberately refuse and reject offense.
- 29:54The final key that I'll give you remain ever thankful and ever
- 30:00joyful. Ever thankful and ever joyful.
- 30:05These are the keys I know from scripture and from the little
- 30:09experience I've heard being part of very prophetic programs.
- 30:14Again, I recap very quickly. Come early, come on time for all
- 30:18the sessions. 2. Participate in every aspect of
- 30:23every service. 3. Be open hearted and malleable
- 30:27towards the ministry of the world.
- 30:29You must take and maintain the posture of a learner #4
- 30:35temporarily suspend the desire for excessive comfort.
- 30:39You must be willing to make sacrifices and that with joy.
- 30:44Next, deliberately refuse and reject offense, and then finally
- 30:49remain ever thankful. And ever grateful, if you
- 30:52receive these words, turn it to prayer in one minute.
- 30:54In the name of Jesus, turn it to prayer in one minute.
- 30:59Blessed be the name of the Lord turning to pray in one minute.
- 31:12Thank you Jesus that which has been a portion for me in
- 31:15prophecy I receive I posture myself to receive maximally for
- 31:22this in Jesus name we pray now let's go to the word for
- 31:26tonight. Tonight's word still connects to
- 31:29what God is doing particularly in this season.
- 31:32Tonight we're looking at Psalm 102 and verse 13.
- 31:35I title my. Exhortation for tonight
- 31:39Designing Kairos seasons Designing Kairos seasons I want
- 31:46to show you what happens and what to do when your season
- 31:49comes. Designing Kairos seasons Psalm
- 31:54102 please. And then verse 13, the Bible
- 31:58says thou shall arise and have mercy upon Zion and have mercy
- 32:06upon Koinonia and have mercy upon Joshua Salman.
- 32:10It says for the time to favor her.
- 32:14Yeah, the set time is come. You receive that shout, Amen.
- 32:20So it says thou shalt arise and have mercy upon Zion for the
- 32:24time to favor her. Even the set time has come in
- 32:33Luke chapter 19 when you read from verse 42 to 44 is a popular
- 32:38scripture, particularly in this house.
- 32:41The second reason why Jesus wept?
- 32:43There are at least two reasons according to Scripture why Jesus
- 32:47wept. The first reason, like I've
- 32:49taught you in this house, is found in John 1135.
- 32:53The Bible says Jesus wept at the tomb of Lazarus and the reason
- 32:57why he wept. The Bible says he wept as an
- 33:00expression of love. They said oh how he loved him
- 33:03because his cousin Lazarus had died and so Jesus wept.
- 33:08The second reason according to scripture is found in Luke
- 33:11chapter 1942 to 44. The Bible says Jesus stood over
- 33:16Jerusalem and overlooking Jerusalem he began to weep, and
- 33:23the reason why he wept, he said, if thou has known even thou at
- 33:30least in this thy day, the things which belong to your
- 33:34peace, but now they are heat from your eyes.
- 33:37Verse 43 For the day shall come upon you, that your enemies
- 33:42shall cast a trench about you, and compass you round, and keep
- 33:47you in on every side. And here's the reason.
- 33:50They shall lay thee even with the ground and thy children
- 33:54within thee, and they shall not leave thee 1 stone upon another,
- 33:58because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation.
- 34:05Because you do not know the time of your visitation.
- 34:08There are consequences that will come upon your life, extending
- 34:13to your children. Hallelujah.
- 34:16A few thoughts very quickly. Number one, God is a God of
- 34:20times and a God of seasons. The Bible is very clear,
- 34:25unmistakably clear, as to the fact that God is a God of times
- 34:30and seasons. Now God does not dwell in time,
- 34:34but God is a God of times and a God of seasons.
- 34:40Simple but profound scripture. God is a God of times and He is
- 34:46a God of seasons. Genesis chapter 1, when you read
- 34:50from verse 14, the creation story or recreation story as we
- 34:55call it, the Bible says among the many aspects of creation,
- 35:02God said let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to
- 35:07divide day and to divide night, and let those lights be for
- 35:12science. Let those lights be for seasons,
- 35:16Let those lights be for days and let those lights be for years.
- 35:20So the concept of times and seasons was not a scientific
- 35:24concept. It was not just a geographic
- 35:26concept, it was a divine concept.
- 35:28God Himself was the initiator of this fragmentation process of
- 35:34day and night, times and seasons.
- 35:37Remember in Genesis chapter 8 and verse 22 when Noah reared an
- 35:42altar and it rose up as a sweet smelling savo and God began to
- 35:47speak blessings upon the earth. It says while the earth
- 35:50remaineth sea, time and harvest, are we still Bible students?
- 35:56Cold and heat, summer and winter.
- 35:59Then it says day and night shall not cease.
- 36:02There will be oscillations of these seasons.
- 36:05Jesus, when he walked upon the earth, said I must walk the
- 36:08works of him that sent me whilst it is dead.
- 36:12He connected timing even to his assignment.
- 36:15He said, For the night cometh when no man can walk again.
- 36:22Hallelujah. God is a God of times and
- 36:25seasons. He does not dwell in time.
- 36:28He lives in a realm above and beyond time, a realm above and
- 36:32beyond eternity. But he operates with man
- 36:36particularly as far as the earth is concerned.
- 36:39It is governed by the law of times and seasons #2 all human
- 36:45activities upon the earth happen within the frame of times and
- 36:50seasons. Make reference to my teaching
- 36:53the Law of Seasons. All human activities burn on.
- 36:58All human activities upon the earth happen within the frame of
- 37:03times and seasons. Please give us Ecclesiastes
- 37:06chapter 3 and verse. 1. The teacher intelligently
- 37:11presented this and he said to everything there is a season are
- 37:16we Bible Students, and a time to every purpose once it is under
- 37:22the heaven. Look at that statement very
- 37:23carefully. To everything there is a season
- 37:29and a time to every purpose under the earth.
- 37:34Every human activity happens within the frame of times and
- 37:39seasons. Now, it's not new to us, but for
- 37:44the purpose of our discussion tonight there, the word time is
- 37:49a very profound word. And sometimes in study of
- 37:52Scripture you need to bend backwards and look into the
- 37:55Hebrew and the Greek connotations to be able to help
- 37:59your understanding. And that's what we're going to
- 38:03do. There are a number of words,
- 38:07particularly Hebrew words, that are translated time in the
- 38:12English translation. They are all used as time, but
- 38:15some of them do not use time. They they don't mean time as in
- 38:20the passage of time. Some of the words that are
- 38:23translated time mean dispensations.
- 38:27Some of the words that are translated time mean ages, eons,
- 38:31some of them mean chronological passage of time, and then some
- 38:35of them just mean a lot of things.
- 38:36But for the purpose of our discussion, we're going to look
- 38:39at 2 main Hebrew words that have been translated as time to guide
- 38:46our understanding. The first of them, like you
- 38:49know, is the word Kronos. Kronos is spelled CC HR0N 0S
- 38:56Kronos. The word kronos, translated
- 38:59time, means the sequential time. That means hour, minutes,
- 39:07seconds, the passage of time. When you use time as the word
- 39:11kronos, it deals with the sequential passage of time every
- 39:16second, microsecond, minutes every hour, translating to days
- 39:22to months. That's called kronos.
- 39:25When you deal with time from its sequential dimension, you are
- 39:29dealing with chronos. Are we together?
- 39:30Is this simple enough for you to understand?
- 39:32Hallelujah. So the Bible says in Psalm one
- 39:37or two from verse 13 we find the 2 words we are going to be
- 39:42playing with captured in the same scripture.
- 39:44One O 213 thou shall arise and have mercy upon Zion for the
- 39:50time. That word time there is the word
- 39:52chronos, the passage of time, the sequence of time from
- 39:58seconds to minutes to hours to days to months to years to
- 40:02decades. For the time to favor her, then
- 40:07he now says the set time. If you don't understand this
- 40:11from the Hebrew connotation, you will think this was a vain
- 40:14repetition. Why would you say for the time
- 40:16to favor her? Yeah, the set time is come.
- 40:19He would have just said the time to favor her is come, and that
- 40:22would have been enough. But he was saying something
- 40:24entirely different. He says the time to favor her,
- 40:27then he says the set time. That expression set time, leads
- 40:32us to the second Hebrew expression is the word Kairos.
- 40:37Kairos, Kairos for many people in this house and in the body of
- 40:44Christ. These are not new terminologies
- 40:46at all, but it is important to structure it so that it falls in
- 40:51well as far as our discussion tonight is concerned.
- 40:54Now the word Kairos doesn't just talk about the passage of time.
- 40:58It is rather concerned with very defining seasons.
- 41:02The word Kairos means opportune time.
- 41:06It also means a defining season. Opportune time, it then means a
- 41:13defining season. So every time I teach, on times
- 41:17I like to give an illustration making reference to say, a
- 41:21medical student or a student in college.
- 41:24When a student gets admission, you know, every lecture and
- 41:30every moving from 100 level, 200 level and so on and so forth.
- 41:34That's Kronos for the students. Let's use someone in secondary
- 41:38school or high school as we call it now in Nigeria and many parts
- 41:42of Africa, we have what we call the junior waek, the West
- 41:45African, you know, examination and then the senior examination.
- 41:50And those are principal determinants.
- 41:53They determine whether the student is able to make it to
- 41:56the high institution of learning or otherwise.
- 41:58So a student can complete the secondary school or high school
- 42:02as it is known, but because he's unable to pass his SSCE or his
- 42:06senior work, he's unable to move to a high institution.
- 42:10Now every lecture and all the exams that he writes from say JS
- 42:17one as we know JS2JS3 up until SS3, those ones are Kronos
- 42:25because they add up to defining that special season.
- 42:28Are we together? It doesn't matter if the student
- 42:31got a a A all true provided he failed Wyack.
- 42:36All other scores will not suddenly supplement.
- 42:39He still will have to mark time. Are we?
- 42:41Are we together now? So when that student is writing
- 42:44that exam exam, it is not like every other exam he's written
- 42:47because of the season. It is a Kairos moment because
- 42:52it's a defining season. It literally can define the next
- 42:56trajectory of his life. Our lives are broadly separated
- 43:01from a timing standpoint into Kronos and Kairos.
- 43:06Now the what happens is that Kronos is the building block for
- 43:10Kairos. The way you take advantage of
- 43:14every day, every moment is a preparation for maximizing those
- 43:20prophetic defining. Seasons, and I'll tell you this
- 43:24by the privilege of the little experience and from the study of
- 43:28Scripture in a man's lifetime, there are not many kairosis.
- 43:33In fact, I can boldly say I think arguably that in a man's
- 43:38lifetime you may not have more than ten of these kyrosis major
- 43:44life defining seasons. The meaning of that is, no
- 43:49matter how you excel in every other aspect of your life and
- 43:53your days, if you do not know how to discern these defining
- 43:57moments, the best English expression I know is to call it
- 44:01a defining moment because it sustains such power.
- 44:05To literally define the next season of your life, the next
- 44:10season of your life. If you're following, say Amen.
- 44:17So Kronos talks about the sequential time, a passage of
- 44:21time, and then Kairos talks about an opportune time, a
- 44:26defining season. When Jesus was born, that was a
- 44:33very Kairos moment. Are we together?
- 44:36The reason was because it was not only an arrival of a Savior,
- 44:41it was the manifestation of something that had been spoken
- 44:44about a long time. Are we together?
- 44:46It was the reason why the angels had to come and play a role to
- 44:50get Joseph and Mary to depart with Jesus, to take him to the
- 44:53place of hiding because he could die.
- 44:56I can tell you, if they did not take Jesus away, he would have
- 44:59died as a baby like every other baby they killed.
- 45:03It was a Kairos moment when Jesus was about to start
- 45:07ministry at age 30. It was a Kairos moment.
- 45:12Are we together? Throughout the period of his
- 45:14passion until he died, it was a Kairos moment.
- 45:18You can see that in the lifetime of Jesus, you literally can
- 45:21count that it was not more than 3 or 4 Kairos moments.
- 45:26And every one of those moments meant a lot as far as the plan
- 45:31of salvation were concerned. If Jesus died as a baby, it
- 45:37would abort the plan of salvation.
- 45:38Please look up. If Jesus bowed down to Satan at
- 45:42the temptation when he was about to start ministry, he would have
- 45:45aborted the plan of salvation. If Jesus gave up at Gethsemane,
- 45:49he would have aborted the plan of salvation.
- 45:53If Jesus died or refused to die, he would have aborted the plan
- 45:57of salvation regardless what else happened.
- 46:01If Jesus aborted the plan of salvation he's healing the woman
- 46:06with the issue of blood would not count in that equation.
- 46:08He's feeding the 5000 would not count in that equation.
- 46:11Are you saying now that all of the miracles he did were part of
- 46:15the build up processes in the Kronos?
- 46:17But you can peace out the activities that directly
- 46:21connected to salvation. They were not more than 3 or 4.
- 46:26So he says thou shall arise and have mercy upon Zion for the
- 46:31time to favor her. Yet the defining season has
- 46:36come. The defining season has come
- 46:39someone say my season has come like you are truly prophesying
- 46:44say my season has come now the third thing I want to point out
- 46:48very quickly tonight is that every time we step into defining
- 46:54moments, Kairos moments, there is a.
- 46:58Grace. There is an empowerment and an
- 47:02advantage that follows Kairos seasons.
- 47:08This is very important, very, very profound.
- 47:12There is a dimension of grace that follows every season.
- 47:19In Nigeria, we operate the rainy and dry season like you have
- 47:23heard me say. And how many of you know that it
- 47:26is possible to farm during the dry season but you will have to
- 47:30use what we call irrigation farming.
- 47:33That means you have to create an alternative route of outsourcing
- 47:37water you do not have. The advantage of having rainfall
- 47:40around that time doesn't mean your crops will not.
- 47:42Grow, but you will have to make the extra effort of routing
- 47:46water from maybe a borehole or a stream to water your plants.
- 47:52But when it is a rainy season, the environment already brings
- 47:56that advantage. Under normal conditions.
- 47:58Are we together? Every Cairo season has with it a
- 48:03package that becomes for you a system of advantage.
- 48:07If you can discern is someone following.
- 48:09Now this is very powerful. Most people do not have the
- 48:13capacity, the fortitude to discern Cairo seasons, and so
- 48:17they do not design the advantage.
- 48:20That comes with the seasons. The Bible makes a very profound
- 48:23statement in Ecclesiastes 3 and verse 11.
- 48:26He says he makes all things beautiful in its time.
- 48:31It's time, it's time. The rendition, his time is not a
- 48:37very accurate rendition. The word there is.
- 48:40It's time, not his time. He's not talking about a.
- 48:44Person. He makes all things beautiful in
- 48:48its time. Are we together now?
- 48:51That means there is beauty and grace that comes with every
- 48:56season, every season. There's ease that comes with
- 49:01every season. So the Bible says it this way.
- 49:05It says, As for rain, beautiful, NLT and other modern
- 49:08translations put it well. He makes all things beautiful in
- 49:12its own. Time.
- 49:13Now the Bible says, As for rain at the time of the rain, that
- 49:20means you first have to discern that the time has come, then you
- 49:23begin to engage appropriately. Is someone learning?
- 49:26Now this is very important when you want to pluck mango or
- 49:31orange from a mango tree. Especially.
- 49:35Did you know that if it's not the time for the harvest of
- 49:38mangoes, you may waste your time trying to throw down 1 mango.
- 49:42You will throw stones and injure people and break glasses just to
- 49:46bring down 1 mango. The reason is because you don't
- 49:49have the advantage of ease, but once it is time and the mango
- 49:54ripens, it softens from you know, it's it's connecting from
- 49:59from the branch and it can fall freely.
- 50:02Sometimes while you are asleep you just hear it raining down
- 50:05and you literally have to wake up in the morning and just pick
- 50:08it because it is a blessing that comes with the season.
- 50:13Every prophetic season, every redefining moment, every Kairos
- 50:19moment in the life of a people, the life of a nation, a
- 50:23territory, the life of a believer comes with certain
- 50:27spiritual provisions that can be a system of advantage if disan
- 50:33and maximized. Hallelujah, now I want to.
- 50:38Give you a few keys. That's released my emphasis
- 50:41tonight there. Before us right now, not just
- 50:47because of the convention coming, the convention coming
- 50:50just prophetically falls in line with something that God is
- 50:55already doing. Please listen to me.
- 50:57I began to see this as far back as the sound of revival, US,
- 51:02Canada. In fact, one of the sessions,
- 51:04the Sunday sessions there, I spoke particularly, I think the
- 51:08word of the Lord. That should be the message.
- 51:10Make reference to it. And I began to share with the
- 51:13body of Christ some of the contemplations that I was
- 51:16receiving in my spirit as to the kinds of seasons that we're
- 51:20stepping into. You see, the Apostolic and the
- 51:23prophetic office is a dispensational.
- 51:26Office and when God calls you by mercy into a true Apostolic
- 51:31ministry, one of the things that characterize a true Apostolic
- 51:37ministry. Is the ability.
- 51:39To discern the things that God is doing per season and per
- 51:43time, and then to articulate it intelligently to a people so
- 51:48that they discern and connect to it by faith.
- 51:53Paul's Apostolic ministry was dispensational efficient. 3 and
- 51:58verse three he began to make defense.
- 52:01Of that grace it says, how that by revelation He made known unto
- 52:06me the mystery, as I wrote a four time in few words.
- 52:09Verse 4 It says, that when ye read, ye may understand.
- 52:13Give us verse 4, When you read, you may understand my knowledge
- 52:17in the mystery of Christ. 5 which was in other ages not made
- 52:22known to the sons of man, but it is now revealed to his holy
- 52:27apostles and prophets by the Spirit.
- 52:31Now revealed, now revealed, now revealed was not revealed
- 52:37before, but it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and
- 52:41prophets, and that by the Spirit.
- 52:47A major prophetic season. It's already been brewing across
- 52:52the body of. Christ and right now it's like
- 52:55the cloud that is thick and ready to reign a lot of things.
- 52:59And they are they are very easy indices that we can use to
- 53:04discern like the transition of fathers of faith across our
- 53:08nation, across the African continent.
- 53:11Those ones are. Easy.
- 53:12They are discernible. You don't need to be overly
- 53:14spiritual. You just need to have common
- 53:16sense to know that batons are changing.
- 53:19Are we together? But there are other parameters
- 53:22that you have to be spiritual or you have to be properly
- 53:26mentored. To be able to.
- 53:27To see, look up, please, the day Jesus was born.
- 53:31If you were in Bethlehem of Judea, you would not know.
- 53:35You would just know that wow, why are the stars shining?
- 53:38It looks like it's an unusual night.
- 53:40Probably you will be taking fresh air outside, not knowing
- 53:42that the Savior is born, that something was happening
- 53:45somewhere across the globe and only a few people were already
- 53:49discerning. There was business in the Spirit
- 53:51happening and there were others who were dancing around.
- 53:54The Bible says while shepherds watch their flocks by night,
- 53:59unknown to them. That a miracle, the greatest
- 54:02miracle that happened to humanity, did not happen in such
- 54:06a loud way. It didn't happen at a crusade
- 54:08ground. A young controversial virgin who
- 54:12had her own issues there with her husband.
- 54:16Somewhere around a Manger and Jesus is born.
- 54:20Nothing so spectacular, but the Bible says there were certain
- 54:23people called the Magi. Isn't it amazing that out of the
- 54:27many people, only a handful of people discerned that something
- 54:31was wrong? The Magi.
- 54:33They saw the star and they used the knowledge of astrology and
- 54:37they saw that that star would be a Bethlehem of Judea.
- 54:41They began their journey carrying with them Gold,
- 54:44Frankenstein and Mer. They were excited when they got
- 54:49to Herod and it was announced that these guys were around.
- 54:53You know what happened? Herod said, go and take the
- 54:56archives. That means one of the ways we
- 54:58design seasons is to be students of history.
- 55:00You need to go and open the books.
- 55:03What happened before? And he said, read it.
- 55:05Is there something like this? And they said, ah, it's true.
- 55:09It's true. And they said a savior will be
- 55:13born by prophecy. It's been written in Bethlehem
- 55:17of Judea. And Herod said.
- 55:19Oh, really? I've told you.
- 55:22That it was the spirit of the Antichrist that was at work in
- 55:26Herald. There was no reason for Herald
- 55:29to hate Jesus. He was by far older than Jesus
- 55:32and he had two more years to live.
- 55:35By the time Jesus became an adult, he will be long dead.
- 55:38What was the basis of the rivalry?
- 55:40But that's what happens when the spirit of the Antichrist moves.
- 55:44An old man will still kill children because he's afraid of
- 55:47his office. Is someone learning now?
- 55:52When Harold heard this, he said, really?
- 55:55He said so. Go and inquire diligently.
- 55:58Let us know where the star appeared.
- 56:02After you do that, come and tell me.
- 56:05Me too. I want to go and bow to the
- 56:07child, but the Bible says he intended that he will kill.
- 56:11Him intended that he would kill him.
- 56:15Is someone learning very chiro season?
- 56:18And when they went and they met Jesus, isn't it amazing, ladies
- 56:21and gentlemen? The major were not foolish
- 56:24people. But when they found a baby
- 56:26wrapped with swabbing clothes, the Bible says they worshipped
- 56:29him. How do you worship a baby?
- 56:31They were seen more than a baby. They knew that something
- 56:34supernatural had happened. They were worshipping a baby.
- 56:38And they presented the open of their treasures, the Bible says.
- 56:41And they presented to him gifts of gold, of frankincense, and of
- 56:45my, and intending to go back. An Angel of the Lord appeared to
- 56:50them and warned them that they should depart through another
- 56:54way in the dream. And when Harold heard that they
- 56:57are departed another way, he was angry.
- 57:00And he gave his sermon that they should kill all children from
- 57:04two years and below. That was where the prophecy
- 57:07said. There was a cry in Rama that
- 57:09Rachel would weep for her children and she would not be
- 57:11comforted. It was a prophecy about the
- 57:14killing that would happen. The meaning of this is that what
- 57:18is happening right now if we are students of history and
- 57:21prophecy. It's been written before in
- 57:24types and shadows. I have a dear wonderful friend
- 57:29who did his PhD thesis exploring the history of the church in
- 57:33Nigeria extending to extending to Africa.
- 57:37I'm a student of revival, and I've increasingly become
- 57:40passionate about studying the history of the move of God,
- 57:44particularly not just church history broadly, I want to know
- 57:47the things that have happened before our arrival.
- 57:50And did you know in he sent me a copy of his thesis and looking
- 57:55at it and doing a little study on it, let me tell you this.
- 57:58I was amazed at the striking similarity between the things
- 58:04that happen yesterday. Yes, maybe about 70 to 100 years
- 58:09in Nigeria. That is happening again.
- 58:14Champions who were misunderstood and persecuted.
- 58:18It's happened before. People who defied ordinary
- 58:21backgrounds until they rose around.
- 58:23It's happened before. I saw from the knowledge of
- 58:26history that people naturally persecute their saviors and
- 58:31celebrate them when they die. It's a human thing.
- 58:36I saw from history that the move of God does not start with the
- 58:40crowd. It starts with a few people who
- 58:43have the discernment. And usually those few people go
- 58:46through intense persecution because the formative years of
- 58:50the move of God is very controversial.
- 58:52The fact that God is. Moving in a way.
- 58:54He has not moved before does not mean he's not the one moving.
- 58:58Pioneers carry a heavy cross, a cross that sometimes can cost
- 59:03them their life. I learned that from history and
- 59:06prophecy. Is someone learning?
- 59:08My announcement to you is that there is another move of God.
- 59:13You know I've been telling you this upon the body of Christ,
- 59:16and I say this without sounding by us.
- 59:19Nigeria prophetically has been positioned by God's mercy and
- 59:24grace as an Arrowhead defining the spiritual trajectory of the
- 59:31things that happen across the African continent.
- 59:34Now, Once Upon a time, the move of God was strongly along the
- 59:38European Space. It's in the Bible history and
- 59:41it's in modern history. So these are not my opinions.
- 59:44Eventually it moved down to the West and for many reasons I
- 59:49don't want to discuss within the context of our teaching, it
- 59:52began to fade and deplete. Now that did not mean there was
- 59:56not a move of God in Africa and Nigeria.
- 59:58Unfortunately, we did not have a rich capture of the recordings
- 1:00:03of this move. Justice was not done to many
- 1:00:06silent voices that arose until they died because we did not
- 1:00:10have the intelligence to preserve history in such a
- 1:00:14detailed way. But then.
- 1:00:19The Spirit of God began to move very strongly across the African
- 1:00:22continent. Now, it doesn't mean there are
- 1:00:24no moves of God. There's there's a mighty move of
- 1:00:27God, for instance, across the Asian continent.
- 1:00:30I mean, so many beautiful things are happening there across
- 1:00:33India. There are people who are doing
- 1:00:36almost silent but remarkable things.
- 1:00:39I have, I have been amazed myself as I am brought to the
- 1:00:43knowledge of certain individuals who may not necessarily be
- 1:00:46globally known, but my goodness, you see the kinds of things they
- 1:00:50are doing for the Kingdom within their domain, within their
- 1:00:53territory. Are we together?
- 1:00:57But back to the Nigerian context, whenever we talk about
- 1:01:01the move of God in Nigeria, usually there are two names that
- 1:01:04stand out. We talk about the late Apostle
- 1:01:06Babalola and then we talk about Archbishop Benson Hidahosa and
- 1:01:11wonderful as what they did. But did you know for most of
- 1:01:14them, if they were alive, we would have hated them and
- 1:01:16persecuted them. We only celebrate them because
- 1:01:19we are largely not in their meetings.
- 1:01:21Are we together now? And we just want to show that we
- 1:01:24are good students of history. But there is another move.
- 1:01:27God's move never stops with one generation.
- 1:01:31It always continues progressively through the Kronos
- 1:01:35years. And those who are designing and
- 1:01:38they are well mentored use their Kronos days preparing like the
- 1:01:42magi. They keep looking at the signs,
- 1:01:45They keep looking at the writings on the wall.
- 1:01:47Every time they see that formation again, they know that
- 1:01:50He's coming again. Maranatha.
- 1:01:52It is a spirit and the Bride saying come, and when they are
- 1:01:55able to trap and capture what God is saying, they become
- 1:02:00pioneers of a new move of God within their generation.
- 1:02:04And let me tell you this at the risk of sounding controversial,
- 1:02:09I can tell you this by the messes of God and by Apostolic
- 1:02:12authority, there is a blessing that comes when you align
- 1:02:19spiritually to receive the new that God is doing.
- 1:02:23He places grace on you such that no man will partake of that
- 1:02:28move, ignoring the hand of God in your life because you went
- 1:02:32through the sacrifice of alignment and you spared with
- 1:02:36God. Any other person within that
- 1:02:39dispensation that wants to enjoy that level of grace are we
- 1:02:44together will not only honor God but will honor that spiritual
- 1:02:48investment. This is a level of spiritual
- 1:02:50intelligence that our arrogant world does not understand is the
- 1:02:54reason why most people cannot receive batons.
- 1:03:00There are moves today that happen within the body of
- 1:03:03Christ, healing movements, Apostolic reformations, that a
- 1:03:08few people were raised by God and they become, they became the
- 1:03:12signposts to those move. Even when you say, Father, grant
- 1:03:16me fire, he will start with the Holy Ghost, but he will refer
- 1:03:20you to those people or their materials.
- 1:03:25When Paul as Saul encountered the God of heaven after he fell,
- 1:03:31he woke up blind. The Lord sent him to the House
- 1:03:35of Judah and he stayed there for three days.
- 1:03:38He was blind only praying. The Bible says the Lord spoke to
- 1:03:42Ananias watch this. He said to get up and go to the
- 1:03:46city, called straight to the House of 1 Judah, that he will
- 1:03:49meet Saul. Therefore he prayeth.
- 1:03:51He says when he meets him he should pray for him, that his
- 1:03:55eyes be open and that he should be filled with the Holy Ghost.
- 1:03:57Question please look at me. Why will Jesus Christ refer a
- 1:04:02man to another man when he has given the money?
- 1:04:05Direct encounter When you encounter Jesus directly, should
- 1:04:09you need any money again. What encounter is greater than
- 1:04:13the encounter of Jesus Christ? But it was Jesus himself.
- 1:04:18After encountering Paul, he said go and.
- 1:04:21Wait, I will. Send a man.
- 1:04:23To continue your journey. When Ananias came, he said,
- 1:04:26Brother Saul, Jesus, whom you saw, has sent me.
- 1:04:30Jesus whom you saw had sent me. Not a bad Jesus, Jesus whom you
- 1:04:35saw. I don't doubt your encounter,
- 1:04:38but I have a role to play in your life.
- 1:04:40If you respect that Jesus whom you saw and ignore me whom he
- 1:04:44sent, you will still not become an apostle.
- 1:04:46Let me say that again. It takes respecting Jesus, whom
- 1:04:50you saw, and me who he sent. It takes respecting Jesus whom
- 1:04:55you saw and me who he sent. Paul did not become an apostle
- 1:04:59just because he encountered Jesus.
- 1:05:02There is Jesus whom you saw, but there is me who he sent.
- 1:05:08I'm speaking to a generation. There is Jesus whom you saw, but
- 1:05:12there is him. You reject Jesus and embrace
- 1:05:17Ananias. You are doing human worship, but
- 1:05:20you embrace Jesus whom you saw and ignore Ananias.
- 1:05:24You will be saved, but you will remain blind.
- 1:05:27Your eyes will be closed and the oil that should come on your
- 1:05:31head may never arrive there. Listen to me.
- 1:05:36So this is what is happening to a generation.
- 1:05:39There is Jesus whom you saw. I don't doubt your salvation,
- 1:05:43but the goal is not to be saved. The goal is to be a witness and
- 1:05:47the person mandated to continue the journey who has been sent in
- 1:05:51the name of the Lord. You must have the discernment.
- 1:05:53There are two roles, one to open your.
- 1:05:56Eyes 2 That you may be filled with the Holy Ghost,
- 1:06:05Shamalakosa, Brother Saul, Jesus, whom you saw.
- 1:06:14The one who you saw, he appeared to you in the way, but he also
- 1:06:19sent me that in addition to your encounter.
- 1:06:23This is a message for a generation.
- 1:06:25We are a. Generation that have seen Jesus,
- 1:06:28I agree, I don't doubt you encounter, but don't fight
- 1:06:31Ananias. The fathers are coming in the
- 1:06:34spirit of Ananias and they are saying Jesus whom you saw, we
- 1:06:39don't doubt you encounters. We know you saw him.
- 1:06:43But he has sent me to open your eyes and that you'll be filled
- 1:06:47with the Holy Ghost by wisdom Mocha Heaven's gates open up
- 1:06:57with understanding you order the seasons.
- 1:07:02Creating day and night, turning darkness into light, arranging
- 1:07:08the stars to your pleasing. Blessed are you, O Lord our God,
- 1:07:17Eternity is holy. Listen, I want you to pay
- 1:07:36attention to this thing I just said.
- 1:07:38It's a secret God showed me. Paul, no matter your encounter,
- 1:07:42you will never become an apostle till you respect Jesus whom you
- 1:07:47saw, and Ananias, whom he sends to you.
- 1:07:53You saw Jesus, but your eyes are still blind.
- 1:07:56You saw Jesus, but the encounter did not bring you the Holy
- 1:08:00Ghost. Go and stay.
- 1:08:02Wait, there is an incubation room there?
- 1:08:05I will send. Someone to you when you see that
- 1:08:08person coming even though you are blind.
- 1:08:12So keep praying as you wait for the arrival of Ananias.
- 1:08:16Keep praying as you wait for the arrival of Ananias.
- 1:08:20Ananias has seen your rebellion. Ananias knows about your
- 1:08:24tantrums. He knows about the wrong history
- 1:08:26of your behavior. He will not come on his own.
- 1:08:29But I will talk to Ananias. There is something I will tell
- 1:08:32him. I will say, although Paul once
- 1:08:34persecuted the church, don't be afraid.
- 1:08:37Although this generation is rebellious, Ananias, don't be
- 1:08:41afraid of coming. There is my hand upon that
- 1:08:44generation. It's my hand upon that
- 1:08:49generation brought us all Jesus whom you saw, the Lord Jesus
- 1:09:01that appeared to you by the way that you came.
- 1:09:04He's the one who sends me for two assignments, one that you
- 1:09:10might receive your sight. There are two people in the
- 1:09:14Bible who this miracle happened to.
- 1:09:16The first one is called Blind Bartimius.
- 1:09:22Blind Bartimius did not say give me eyes.
- 1:09:25He didn't say that my eyes be open.
- 1:09:27No, he said that I may receive my sight.
- 1:09:31A man can have eyes and not see. I told you, sight is not a
- 1:09:36function of a healthy eye alone. Sight is a function of a healthy
- 1:09:41eye in the presence of sufficient light.
- 1:09:46If I switch off the light in this room, even though your eyes
- 1:09:50are all right, you will not see. So when Bland Bartamios was
- 1:09:54saying that I may receive my sight, he didn't just say the
- 1:09:56miracle of an open eye. His eyes could be open and he
- 1:10:00would not see, because you see, Paul's eyes were closed, but he
- 1:10:06was still having visions. He said I came to open your
- 1:10:11eyes. There are things you cannot see
- 1:10:14even though you met Jesus. This is a message to a
- 1:10:17generation. There are things you cannot see
- 1:10:21no matter your encounters. I know you saw angels, it is
- 1:10:25true, but there is an Ananias prepared by God.
- 1:10:30Ananias may not carry the form, but he will come and knock your
- 1:10:33door and say, Brother Saul. I hope it would not be an insult
- 1:10:39to you when he calls you brother Saul, even though your destiny
- 1:10:42is Apostle Saul. The man who is coming has what
- 1:10:46you are looking for. He will not call you Apostle
- 1:10:48Saul. He will knock your door and say,
- 1:10:50Brother Saul, the Jesus who you saw when you
- 1:11:05were on the mountain, the Jesus whom you saw as you waited upon
- 1:11:10him in fasting and prayer. In addition to that encounter He
- 1:11:14had sent me that I may open your eyes and that you might be
- 1:11:19filled with the Holy Ghost to open your eyes.
- 1:11:26Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to be giving you a few keys and
- 1:11:31then we'll pray. I don't intend to keep us for
- 1:11:33long tonight. I'm setting the ground for what
- 1:11:35God is going to be doing. I needed to introduce this
- 1:11:38revelation tonight so that you can maximize it.
- 1:11:43This revelation immediately takes away from you the spirit
- 1:11:46of arrogance. I've seen Jesus, I know, but the
- 1:11:53same Jesus you saw sent. Me Ananias.
- 1:11:57To come to you. That I may give you access to
- 1:12:03something that is beyond the horizon of your sight.
- 1:12:12And then that you might receive the Holy Ghost, that you might
- 1:12:20receive the Holy Ghost, you might receive the Holy Ghost,
- 1:12:27that you might receive the Holy Ghost, that you might receive
- 1:12:33the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost who will turn you into a wonder,
- 1:12:41the Holy Ghost who will make you a.
- 1:12:42Sign and a wonder. Hallelujah.
- 1:12:51Let me give you a few keys. Let me give you a few keys.
- 1:12:59Salim aleba ka paraku theatre, Mandos Sabrantas quebele ka
- 1:13:04parata theatre. Every time you step into a
- 1:13:11Kairos moment, you have to look 2 directions. 1 where you find
- 1:13:18Jesus, but two where you find ananias.
- 1:13:23If you step into a prophetic season, start with Jesus, but
- 1:13:29make sure you keep the flexibility to look forward to
- 1:13:33Ananias because both. Jesus and Ananias.
- 1:13:37It's a God man partnership to what you're making.
- 1:13:41You can encounter Jesus and ignore Ananias using the pride
- 1:13:46of your encounter, the pride of your experience.
- 1:13:50Ananias will keep knocking your door.
- 1:13:52Unfortunately, Ananias does not have the patience to wait
- 1:13:56forever. He can knock.
- 1:14:01And if you are not ready to receive, you will go back and
- 1:14:04say you sent me, but Saul rejected me.
- 1:14:10There are a few keys that helps us to maximize prophetic
- 1:14:16seasons. Defining moments like we're
- 1:14:19stepping into right now merge through this glorious
- 1:14:23convention. Let me list for you the keys
- 1:14:26very quickly and we'll pray. Please be sensitive in the
- 1:14:30spirit. Be sensitive in the Spirit.
- 1:14:34Number one, The first key that you must deploy in maximizing
- 1:14:41Kairos prophetic seasons is discernment.
- 1:14:47Discernment, Discernment. You cannot step into a prophetic
- 1:14:53season and maximize it if you do not even know that it is a
- 1:14:57prophetic season. I told you that the birth of
- 1:15:00Jesus did not come with anything spectacular.
- 1:15:04If you were born or you lived around Bethlehem of Judea, you
- 1:15:07would not know something spectacular and supernatural
- 1:15:10were happening. You would just know that, OK,
- 1:15:12there were transactions happening in the Spirit and
- 1:15:16perhaps not partake of it. You need discernment,
- 1:15:21discernment, the spirit of discernment.
- 1:15:24That's one of the blessedness of consistency in prayer.
- 1:15:27Please look up. The Bible says strong meat
- 1:15:30belongs to those who who are of full age, who by reason of use
- 1:15:35have exercised themselves to discern, to discern, to discern.
- 1:15:41In Genesis 28, Jacob laid down at loss to sleep, and the Bible
- 1:15:46says he had a prophetic dream. His father had consecrated that
- 1:15:51place and he lay on a stone to sleep, the Bible says, And he
- 1:15:55saw a vision, a dream, and angels were ascending and angels
- 1:16:01were descending. If you know anything about the
- 1:16:04minister of angels, every time you see ascensions and
- 1:16:07descendants, that means they are going in honor to the word of
- 1:16:10the Lord. They are ministering to the
- 1:16:12Saints. They were ascending and
- 1:16:14descending, bringing messages, bringing all kinds of things.
- 1:16:18But Jacob himself was not part of those they were coming to.
- 1:16:22They were passing him and going somewhere.
- 1:16:26The Bible says when he got up from that dream, he made a
- 1:16:30profound submission. He said surely the Lord is in
- 1:16:33this place and I knew not. Verse 17, Genesis 28, he says he
- 1:16:38was afraid and he said, how dreadful is this place?
- 1:16:42This is none other than the House of God.
- 1:16:45This is the gate of heaven. But you see, that encounter did
- 1:16:49not profit him because he did not have discernment.
- 1:16:53Read your Bible. The next 20 years of Jacob's
- 1:16:56life will be misery upon misery in the House of Lebanon.
- 1:17:01Only God knows what would have happened to Jacob if he had
- 1:17:05maximized that prophetic experience.
- 1:17:10Laban defrauded him many times, exchanged Rachel for Leah for
- 1:17:15Rachel, and then, you know, all kinds of things, and instead
- 1:17:21again kept turning his wages until he spent over 20 years.
- 1:17:26Eventually he found his way out of the House of Lebanon.
- 1:17:30When we get to Genesis chapter 32, the Bible says that night
- 1:17:37Jacob dismissed his wives. That night he dismisses women,
- 1:17:43servants, his sons, and he passed over to a place called
- 1:17:47Fort Jabok. And the Bible says that night.
- 1:17:52He was left alone. And there wrestled a man with
- 1:17:56him to the breaking of the day, verse 25.
- 1:18:00And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he
- 1:18:03touched the hollow of his tie. He said, Leave me for the
- 1:18:08daybreaker. He said, I will not let you go
- 1:18:11unless you bless me. I have learned by experience
- 1:18:14that if I don't discern a God encounter, it can cost me many
- 1:18:19decades of regret. I will not let you go.
- 1:18:24Unless you bless me. And he said, What is your name?
- 1:18:28He said I am Jacob. He said, Thou shalt no longer be
- 1:18:31called Jacob, but Israel. For as a Prince you have had
- 1:18:35power with God, and you have prevailed.
- 1:18:37Verse 29. The Bible says and Jacob said,
- 1:18:40tell me and he says, wherefore why do you ask my name?
- 1:18:44He blessed him there. Verse 30.
- 1:18:47The Bible says Jacob called the name of the place Penny.
- 1:18:50L he said, for I have seen God face to face, and my life is
- 1:18:54preserved. Verse 31.
- 1:18:56The Bible says, And as he passed, the sun arose over him.
- 1:19:01He called the place Penny. Li.
- 1:19:03Have seen God face to face. Listen, beloved people of God,
- 1:19:09in this prophetic season we must have the grace to discern the
- 1:19:14capacity to interpret the writings on your wall.
- 1:19:17Can I tell you the truth? Let me make a prophetic analogy.
- 1:19:22Every generation has an assignment to read the writings
- 1:19:26on their wall. There is a wall for every
- 1:19:28generation and eventually a hand will write on it.
- 1:19:32This time around it's not a negative writing, but when the
- 1:19:35hand writes on it, there must be men and women after the order of
- 1:19:42Daniel who know how to read the writings on the wall.
- 1:19:46And then to interpret for that generation what the Spirit of
- 1:19:50God is saying to the churches so that it can bring alignment and
- 1:19:54so that we can walk into our prophetic destiny, the
- 1:19:57generation of our fathers when God wrote on their wall.
- 1:20:01Thank God that they had men consecrated enough, humble
- 1:20:05enough, yielded enough, who saw the writings, they detected the
- 1:20:10burning Bush, they saw the star, they saw the signs, he said.
- 1:20:15We see not our signs, and there is no man who can tell us how
- 1:20:19long. There must be people who know
- 1:20:22how to interpret signs over a generation to say this is a
- 1:20:27Kairos moment and to awaken the body of Christ to say don't lose
- 1:20:31out on this. It is not just an ordinary
- 1:20:34moment, it is a prophetic defining moment.
- 1:20:39The generation of our fathers knew how to read their writings
- 1:20:41on the wall. Now God has granted us a
- 1:20:44privilege. It is now up to us to set
- 1:20:48ourselves in the order of Habakkuk.
- 1:20:50Habakkuk 2 and verse one says I will stand upon the tower, and I
- 1:20:54will set myself upon the tower. I will stand upon my watch, and
- 1:20:58I will watch to see what you will say to me.
- 1:21:04I will watch to see what you will say to a generation.
- 1:21:08I will watch to see. Is someone learning tonight
- 1:21:13Discernment? We need discernment.
- 1:21:16Very prophetic seasons have happened on earth, and they
- 1:21:20happen in a way that was so ordinary only the discerning
- 1:21:24picks the signal. I make reference again to the
- 1:21:27birth of Jesus. Nothing spectacular happened
- 1:21:30upon the earth. If you are alive in that day,
- 1:21:33you would wake up like any other day.
- 1:21:35Go and do your work any other day.
- 1:21:37I return back not knowing that the Savior was born.
- 1:21:42When Jesus hung upon the cross, The Bible says a lot of
- 1:21:45supernatural things happen. The cloud tone, it became dark,
- 1:21:49the veil in the temple tall and all kinds of things.
- 1:21:52When he resurrected, angels came and did all of those things.
- 1:21:56When he ascended to heaven, angels came, received him.
- 1:21:59But when he was born, it was a silent night.
- 1:22:03When revivals are born, when moves of God happened, it's a
- 1:22:07silent night. There are only three groups of
- 1:22:10people who discern what God was doing. 1 The Magi. 2 The
- 1:22:14shepherds that were watching their flocks by night.
- 1:22:18It takes time enough to watch your flocks by night.
- 1:22:21There are shepherds that only watch their flocks by day.
- 1:22:25Those ones did not receive that visitation.
- 1:22:28He only came to those who were disciplined enough and they were
- 1:22:31still watching their flocks by night.
- 1:22:38It takes time enough to watch your flocks by night, because
- 1:22:41night time is a time of weariness when you should be
- 1:22:44sleeping. But they were watching their
- 1:22:46flocks by night, and the angels appeared to them Hosanna in the
- 1:22:49highest, and brought them glad tidings, that unto you a Savior
- 1:22:53is born. Ladies and gentlemen, it looks
- 1:22:58like it is night time in the body of Christ, but I hope you
- 1:23:02don't just slumber because in the midst of that night, I want
- 1:23:06you to know something prophetic is being born and not everyone
- 1:23:10is having insights to eat. The magi are those whose eyes
- 1:23:14are consistently on the stars. They know how to look at
- 1:23:18seasons. And then the shepherds are men
- 1:23:22who got or not because of their faithfulness.
- 1:23:25They made-up their mind to watch their flock not only by day, but
- 1:23:30to watch their flock by night. It's not convenient, but I will
- 1:23:33watch them by night. And the Spirit of God says no,
- 1:23:36you have to inform this man because of their faithfulness.
- 1:23:40If they can be faithful watching the shepherds by night, that
- 1:23:44means they can also be faithful doing the things the business of
- 1:23:49the Kingdom when it is revealed to them what God is doing.
- 1:23:54It is amazing, ladies and gentlemen, that there can be a
- 1:23:57mighty move of God like it happened on the Day of Pentecost
- 1:24:01and 19 chapters later there are still some disciples who have
- 1:24:05not yet had if. There be any Holy Ghost?
- 1:24:07The Holy Ghost fell on the day of Pentecost with such power
- 1:24:113000 people were saved. From there the church began to
- 1:24:15advance. But when we get to Acts chapter
- 1:24:1819 from verse one to four, Paul haven't passed through the upper
- 1:24:21coast. The Bible says he came and found
- 1:24:24certain disciples. Someone was mentoring them, but
- 1:24:29their eyes were not open. They did not know that
- 1:24:31dispensations had changed. And he said to them, have you
- 1:24:35received the Holy Ghost since you believed?
- 1:24:38They said, what are you talking about?
- 1:24:41You mean there's a new move has come like that?
- 1:24:43That was officially the dispensation of the Holy Ghost,
- 1:24:46yet those who were saved were not even aware.
- 1:24:50That a move had started. Paul was surprised.
- 1:24:57He said, unto What were you then baptized?
- 1:24:59And they said unto John's baptism.
- 1:25:01And Paul said no, John's baptism was not wrong, it was a baptism
- 1:25:05of repentance that you should believe on him who is to come.
- 1:25:08But I need to let you know dispensations have changed.
- 1:25:11I don't know who men told you that left you dull of hearing,
- 1:25:14but he said dispensations have changed and he introduced them
- 1:25:18to the Holy Ghost body of Christ.
- 1:25:27A new movies upon us. Whether you believe it or not is
- 1:25:31the truth. It's.
- 1:25:32It's usually a cliche to say new things are coming.
- 1:25:35All of that. This one is beyond a revival.
- 1:25:37I'm not talking of a revival. A revival is different from the
- 1:25:41opening of a new face in the church.
- 1:25:46Are we together now? Discernment.
- 1:25:54When you step into a Kairos prophetic season #1 you need.
- 1:25:58Discernment. Let's hurry up.
- 1:26:00Number. 2. When God grant you the privilege
- 1:26:05like the sons of Issachar in First Chronicles, First
- 1:26:15Chronicles 12 and verse 32, and of the sons of Issachar, the
- 1:26:20Bible says men who had understanding or discernment of
- 1:26:25the times and they knew what Israel ought to do.
- 1:26:28Can I tell you this? Look up, please, one of the side
- 1:26:31effects of being a pioneer or a first fruit recipient.
- 1:26:38Listen to my descriptions. When you have the privilege to
- 1:26:42pioneer something new and prophetic or to be a first fruit
- 1:26:47recipient, chances are excellent that if you are not careful,
- 1:26:53that awareness that not many people are aware of what you
- 1:26:57know is the reason why you start dying is the reason why.
- 1:27:01Once you are aware that God is doing something and others are
- 1:27:05not yet aware He's granted you access to the chambers of the
- 1:27:09Spirit. The next thing you do is
- 1:27:11gratitude. Write it down.
- 1:27:13Gratitude. Father, thank you for the
- 1:27:16privilege. I'm showing you the steps to
- 1:27:20maximizing and discerning Cairo seasons after discernment comes
- 1:27:25gratitude. Thank you for the privilege you
- 1:27:28have given me. You know, I tell you this as a
- 1:27:30man of God almost every day of my life and more so this
- 1:27:34prophetic days, I've, I've taken time to pray and thank God.
- 1:27:41Thank God deeply for the privilege that he's given me to
- 1:27:46frontier some of the things that have been done for a generation,
- 1:27:51a dispensation and for the body of Christ.
- 1:27:55It is a profound honor that I'm not ashamed to declare my
- 1:27:58gratitude to him. Gratitude, gratitude.
- 1:28:02Someone said thank you Jesus. Did you ever read in the Bible?
- 1:28:06He said blessed are your eyes for they see these things and
- 1:28:09blessed are your ears for they hear.
- 1:28:10Because it is not everyone who's been given access to hear and to
- 1:28:14see, but blessed are your eyes and blessed are your ears #3
- 1:28:20what is the third key? In addition to discernment and
- 1:28:24then gratitude, faith and courage.
- 1:28:28You want to step into prophetic seasons To maximize Kairos
- 1:28:34seasons, you need faith and courage.
- 1:28:36Joshua 19. Joshua 19.
- 1:28:43Have I not commanded thee be? Strong and of good courage.
- 1:28:49Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed, for the Lord your God
- 1:28:54is with you with that so ever you go.
- 1:28:57Can I tell you this? New things always create fear.
- 1:29:03Do you know why? Because it is against.
- 1:29:05Status quo is usually a pattern that's not known and it creates.
- 1:29:12A lot of fear. You need faith and courage if
- 1:29:16you are to step into Kairos moments.
- 1:29:19No one from your Father's house may have taken that kind of step
- 1:29:21before. You may be the first to take it.
- 1:29:25And many times others are going left and the Holy Ghost says go
- 1:29:29right. The next move of the Spirit is
- 1:29:31light, whereas others are going left.
- 1:29:34And sometimes, with all due respect, all prophets can tell
- 1:29:37you there is no way to go left the way we know is right.
- 1:29:41They may be sincerely wrong. God is showing us mercy tonight.
- 1:29:49Faith and courage someone Say myself, be strong and of good
- 1:29:55courage. Say it again, say myself, be
- 1:29:58strong and of good courage. Ladies and gentlemen, life has
- 1:30:04no guarantees. Ask anyone The spelling of faith
- 1:30:09in the Kingdom is R. ISK spell it with me RI.
- 1:30:16SK That's the spelling of faith. No guarantee, Sir.
- 1:30:21No guarantees. No guarantees.
- 1:30:25There are giants on every mountain.
- 1:30:27No guarantees. You are not the first to
- 1:30:30confront yokes and. Curses.
- 1:30:32No guarantees. You are not the first to break
- 1:30:34that faulty foundation. No guarantees.
- 1:31:18Hosanna Hosanna. Hosanna.
- 1:31:29Hosanna. Hosanna, Hosanna.
- 1:31:46Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna, hosanna, hosanna, hosanna
- 1:31:55hosanna the nations will sing your nations will sing your
- 1:32:00pray. Hosanna, hosanna, creation will
- 1:32:08shout your pray. Lord Most High, you are worthy
- 1:32:13to be, pray the Lord Most High. The.
- 1:33:25The. In Ephesians 6 and verse 10, the
- 1:33:32Bible says, finally, brethren, be strong, be strong, be
- 1:33:40audacious, be courageous. You will explore virgin
- 1:33:46territories in the Spirit and in destiny.
- 1:33:49You need faith and courage. Faith, Sir, and courage, even
- 1:33:56though you will not build that church.
- 1:33:57Faith and courage. If not, you will not skip over
- 1:34:01walls except by you. I can run through a troop.
- 1:34:04He grants you the grace where you must have the courage to
- 1:34:07face the troop. By my God, I will leap over a
- 1:34:10wall. Listen, in one minute I'd like
- 1:34:15you to challenge the spirit of fear.
- 1:34:17Shake it off from your life. The.
- 1:34:22Spirit of fear. God has not given me the spirit
- 1:34:27of fear. Go ahead and pray.
- 1:34:33Faith and courage. Faith and courage to build that
- 1:34:38business. Faith and courage to walk on
- 1:34:42water, to step into the unknown, to step into the unusual.
- 1:34:50Go ahead and pray. Saba bakata bakata prataka
- 1:34:53parakata. Faith, faith, Bible faith.
- 1:35:07Someone go ahead and pray. Shake away unbelief.
- 1:35:11God is not a man that he should lie.
- 1:35:14God is not the Son of man that he should repent, He's the all
- 1:35:19powerful God. Listen, look at me.
- 1:35:43Please look at me. The assignment of faith is not
- 1:35:48to make things easy, it's to make it doable.
- 1:35:52Faith is not concerned about bringing you ease, it's about
- 1:35:56bringing possibilities. Possibilities Because Zechariah
- 1:36:05was not willing to explore virgin dimensions, he became
- 1:36:09deaf and dumb. Even as a high priest so that
- 1:36:14you will not speak something that is against what God wanted.
- 1:36:18What kind of name is this? No one has carried his name and
- 1:36:21his mouth was shot until the day he agreed with God.
- 1:36:25What shall his name be called? He said John and his mouth open
- 1:36:29without prayer. I sense in my spirit that as
- 1:36:35this wave comes, some of you in a family of 20 people where no
- 1:36:41one has risen and it looks like they have to recycle themselves
- 1:36:45this way. In the name of Jesus, the Son of
- 1:36:48the living God, I declare over you the pioneer grace, the
- 1:36:53pioneer mantle, the breaker anointing, the grace that opens
- 1:36:58first doors, virgin doors ancient.
- 1:37:02Let it rest on you now. Sabrakata pakata, let it rest on
- 1:37:08you now. Let it rest on you now.
- 1:37:12Let it rest on you now. Where they said cannot be done,
- 1:37:20God sends you and said, Let me show you what I can do.
- 1:37:30A family full of poverty where they only live by begging.
- 1:37:34God find someone and sends you a rod that I've taken out of fire.
- 1:37:39I will use you as a specimen of my mercy and my grace.
- 1:37:43I will use you as a kinsman Redeemer.
- 1:37:45I declare over someone the mantle of a pioneer, the grace
- 1:37:50to push, to break. I release that grace upon you
- 1:37:53now. I release that grappa, Katoska
- 1:37:57beketa, reketa, teketa. I release that grace upon you
- 1:38:01now. Someone said, Father, in the
- 1:39:00name of Jesus, by dismantle, I break ancient doors.
- 1:39:06I make progress by the Spirit, open your mouth and begin to
- 1:39:11pray. I break ancient doors.
- 1:39:14They have been closed for too long over my life, over my
- 1:39:18family, over my lineage. I come by the spirit of grace,
- 1:39:23full of faith, full of courage, full of faith, full of torrid.
- 1:39:29It is my season. I have mercy on my side.
- 1:39:33I have favor on my side. I have grace on my side.
- 1:39:37The season supports my rising. The season supports my shining.
- 1:39:45Pray is my season, is my time. Oh yes, it's my season.
- 1:40:08After the word of the Lord has tried me, I come and refined as
- 1:40:15gold. Pray, faith, courage.
- 1:40:22I fight here. Challenge, fear.
- 1:40:26Fear of the unknown, Fear of the past, fear of the present, fear
- 1:40:31of the future. By the anointing of the Holy
- 1:40:34Ghost. Hear me when it is your Cairo
- 1:40:47season. Messi's on your side when it's
- 1:40:51your Cairo season. Fair voice on your side when
- 1:40:55it's your Cairo season. God Himself stands behind you as
- 1:40:59a mighty terrible one during the rainy season.
- 1:41:06The wind supports farming, the rain supports farming.
- 1:41:10The environment supports farming.
- 1:41:12Everything supports farming because it is your season and
- 1:41:16you are the planting of the Lord.
- 1:41:17The rain will support you. The wind will support you.
- 1:41:21Elemental forces will support you in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 1:41:27As for me, me and fear have no meeting point.
- 1:41:31No Sir, no Sir, no Sir. There's no meeting point for
- 1:41:37Joshua, Salman and fear. I will fear Goodbye a long time
- 1:41:41ago and it waved me back by you I can run through a.
- 1:41:47Troop. By my God, I can leap over a
- 1:41:50wall. Can I tell you this?
- 1:41:53Listen to me, hear me. Please look up.
- 1:41:58Do you know why you need courage?
- 1:42:00Because God will be trusting you with something your father could
- 1:42:05not do, something your mother could not.
- 1:42:09Do when he said who will go for us?
- 1:42:12Everyone said this assignment is too big.
- 1:42:14You mean to liberate this family from suffering?
- 1:42:16No, I can't do this. You mean to carry this mantle to
- 1:42:20the nation's? But someone is saying, send me,
- 1:42:23I can't take the giant. I like Caleb, he said.
- 1:42:26Let us go up as well. You won't hear any evil report
- 1:42:29from my mouth. I am well able.
- 1:42:32I am well able. I may not see the wind, I may
- 1:42:35not see the rain. But come on now we're talking
- 1:42:38God here. My valley shall be filled with
- 1:42:41water. Shaprakata pakata.
- 1:42:51I may not see wind. I may not see rain, but I tell
- 1:42:55you the valley shall be filled with water if he gave the
- 1:42:58matching order. Move with power.
- 1:43:01Move with courage. Don't wait for the valuables to
- 1:43:04add up. Move with power.
- 1:43:06The sons follow us. You move.
- 1:43:21By you, I can run through a troop.
- 1:43:24By my God, I can leap over a wall.
- 1:43:27Don't. Don't let any devil lie to you.
- 1:43:31That you cannot do the ministry. Don't let any devil lie to you.
- 1:43:35That you cannot rise. Don't let any devil use culture,
- 1:43:39use your background, use your gender.
- 1:43:41Say you are a female, you are a male.
- 1:43:43Let God be true and every devil a liar.
- 1:43:47Don't let anyone despise the hand of God upon your life.
- 1:43:50Don't let anyone despise the grace of God upon you.
- 1:43:55Hear me, there's no reason to fear.
- 1:44:00I have seen Jesus and I have met Ananias.
- 1:44:05I met Jesus and I received the one he sent to me.
- 1:44:11You've heard me say me alone. Can't fail, but me and God can't
- 1:44:15fail together. No Sir, no Sir.
- 1:44:20I was in one of Reynard bonkers crusades if I still remember and
- 1:44:25he said not to look down himself but he was just exalting the
- 1:44:30sufficiency of Christ in him and he said I am like a zero and God
- 1:44:40is like one in front of me. He said that 0 + 1 in front of
- 1:44:47it becomes what, 10 when you add one more 0 when you add one more
- 1:44:520. The longer the zeros, the more
- 1:44:55the value of the one in front of it.
- 1:44:59He said the reason why I'm doing well is because I'm a I'm
- 1:45:03someone with plenty zeros. I came to Jesus with plenty
- 1:45:07zeros when he put one on top of my plenty zeros for you who has
- 1:45:13only 10. When it comes it is 10, but some
- 1:45:17of us who came with a plethora of zeros, when he drops one on
- 1:45:21top of it, it becomes a value that becomes a shock man.
- 1:45:28I landed from Reinhard Bonke. So for someone who came with
- 1:45:32five zeros, when he rests upon you, one of the zero came from
- 1:45:37you. One of the zero came from your
- 1:45:39father. One of the zero came from your
- 1:45:41mother. One of the zero came from your
- 1:45:44siblings. One of the zero came from your.
- 1:45:46Tribe. One of the zero came from the
- 1:45:49poor level of education. One of the zero came from
- 1:45:52poverty. You carry those zeros, put it in
- 1:45:55an alabaster box, bring it and break it before Jesus.
- 1:45:59He becomes that one, and He multiplies your impacts.
- 1:46:09Hallelujah, Faith, faith. Please be seated.
- 1:46:21I believe in Jesus. I believe in Jesus.
- 1:46:25I believe in Jesus. Someone say that.
- 1:46:29Whether your mind agrees or not, say it.
- 1:46:31Say I believe in Jesus. Let me tell you this, ladies and
- 1:46:35gentlemen, if it is the God of heaven you want to use you, one
- 1:46:41day He will give you an assignment that is clearly
- 1:46:45bigger than your ability. You know God is talking to you
- 1:46:50because He speaks. In a way that you can never
- 1:46:53bring that assignment to pass by your strength.
- 1:46:56Impossible. God will go and say go and build
- 1:47:00the. Nation.
- 1:47:01And he will speak as if there are no bottlenecks.
- 1:47:04When he placed that grace on Nehemiah, he never was as though
- 1:47:09they were Sambalat and Tobiases. They said there are giants on
- 1:47:14the mountain. We are not able to.
- 1:47:16And Caleb said shut up, let's go up at once.
- 1:47:19We are able to Faith does not ignore obstacles, but it exalts
- 1:47:29the Word of God above every challenge.
- 1:47:33And faith knows that winning is the only option.
- 1:47:40Challenges are not unusual, but winning is the only option.
- 1:47:47Ladies and gentlemen, please hear me.
- 1:47:50A loser's mentality cannot produce a victor's destiny.
- 1:47:55A loser's mentality cannot produce a victor's destiny.
- 1:48:03You want to win? I told you faith is vision
- 1:48:07dependent. You have to paint a picture of
- 1:48:10victory before you. In my mind, I'm seeing a stadium
- 1:48:14full of hungry worshippers receiving the power of God
- 1:48:19encounters by the Spirit. I'm seeing nations connected and
- 1:48:23rising. You see that now in my mind,
- 1:48:28I've finished the General Assembly.
- 1:48:30I'm receiving the next mission, a winner's mentality.
- 1:48:35I'll tell you something very interesting.
- 1:48:38One day when we bought our property, I just went there and
- 1:48:43I was strolling and I looked at everything, and then I had a
- 1:48:48vision. When I went back home I saw a
- 1:48:51bird just drop there and pick something and left.
- 1:48:54From that day I was grateful to God, but something in my heart
- 1:48:59told me this is not even the place I started looking out for
- 1:49:03somewhere else. My mind just left that place.
- 1:49:06Not that I ignored it. I said no, this is not it.
- 1:49:13A loser's mentality cannot produce a victorious person.
- 1:49:19Do you know if God believes in you and you don't believe in
- 1:49:22yourself, you will shortchange what he wants to do?
- 1:49:24In your life. We live in a world where we
- 1:49:28allow social media, the opinions of naysayers to to make
- 1:49:33suggestions about your destiny. Someone sits down who has no
- 1:49:37knowledge of your work with God just concludes that this lady
- 1:49:41you can be great, and you reduce yourself to a point where you
- 1:49:45become affected by an opinion of someone who is just using your
- 1:49:49influence to drive traffic. Jesus said I am that I am.
- 1:49:59He was confident. As for me and you, we are
- 1:50:03winners forever. Did you hear what I said?
- 1:50:07As for me and you, we are winners forever in the name of
- 1:50:13Jesus Christ. Your faith will weary your
- 1:50:16current challenges until he gives up.
- 1:50:19There's one thing I know about Satan, he says.
- 1:50:22Strange revelation, but it's. True.
- 1:50:25He gets tired. You would never believe that,
- 1:50:29but it's true. It is only the keeper of Israel
- 1:50:33who does not sleep nor slumber. A man can weary Satan.
- 1:50:39The Bible says he left Jesus for a season.
- 1:50:42He went away. It is written, it is written.
- 1:50:46It is written and he left him. He went.
- 1:50:49He said resist the devil and he will flee.
- 1:50:57Key #1 Maximizing prophetic seasons.
- 1:51:01Discernment #2 Gratitude, a heart that is ever conscious of
- 1:51:07the mercy and the faithfulness of God #3 Faith and courage to
- 1:51:12push through seemingly difficult challenges, overcoming very
- 1:51:18obvious bottlenecks #4 I mentioned that while giving you
- 1:51:23the charge. Well, let me shout it again.
- 1:51:27The fourth key to maximizing Cairo seasons.
- 1:51:30Are you ready? Fight offense.
- 1:51:34Fight offense. Matthew 11 and verse six.
- 1:51:39Fight offense. Give us 5 and 6 or 4 to 6.
- 1:51:45Matthew 11, four to six. In fact, let's start from verse
- 1:51:493. So this is John angry because he
- 1:51:59felt that Jesus was dream minister and excelling and he
- 1:52:03was imprisoned as the one who ordained him in ministry.
- 1:52:07And Jesus did not seem to say anything about his condition and
- 1:52:11in anger and offense he sent the disciples.
- 1:52:15He said, when go to John and go and tell John, are you the one
- 1:52:21that should come, or should we look for another?
- 1:52:24That was a sarcastic statement because it was John who said,
- 1:52:28Behold the Lamb, the one who takes away the sins of the
- 1:52:32world. But now because of the tragic
- 1:52:34situation, he was offended. He was angry was 4.
- 1:52:41Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John again
- 1:52:46those things which he do here, and see five.
- 1:52:50The blind received their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are
- 1:52:54cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor
- 1:53:00have the gospel preached unto them.
- 1:53:02Verse 6. He said, Blessed is he,
- 1:53:05whosoever shall not be offended in me.
- 1:53:10Ladies and gentlemen, you see this offense thing here.
- 1:53:13It is one of the cancers that Satan introduces to the life of
- 1:53:18people. When seasons about to change for
- 1:53:22good offense, you become angry. You become gaslighted at
- 1:53:29everything. Have you seen that happen to
- 1:53:31people? A man of God becomes angry at
- 1:53:34his congregation, shouting spouses, children, leaders.
- 1:53:39Once you begin to see Satan pushing offense, he has
- 1:53:42discerned A prophetic season coming.
- 1:53:45You have to make up your mind. You give yourself to
- 1:53:49consecration extended fast, preparing for something
- 1:53:53powerful. Almost everybody will start
- 1:53:56looking for your trouble. Some relatives somewhere who has
- 1:53:59not called you in five years will now call you and said the
- 1:54:02last family meeting you were not there.
- 1:54:04There's some dues you have to pay.
- 1:54:06And you almost want to call him and say if you call me again I
- 1:54:09have names, I will call you. Offense.
- 1:54:17Offense. Offense, the ease with which you
- 1:54:22get irritated, the ease with which you get angry, the ease
- 1:54:27with which you get gaslighted, the ease with which you get
- 1:54:30annoyed is a demonic trap. You'll notice that when you
- 1:54:34abort that season, the factors that create the offense just
- 1:54:38evaporate and you are left again.
- 1:54:40So it was not about you. It was about fighting that
- 1:54:43prophetic season. Blessed is he who is not
- 1:54:47offended in me. Let me use your opportunity like
- 1:54:50I told us during the time of prayer.
- 1:54:52As you prepare for this convention extending to this
- 1:54:56prophetic season, make up your mind as a choice.
- 1:55:00I will not be offended. It's an act of my way.
- 1:55:04Someone insults you, 'cause you Beelzebub.
- 1:55:07No problem, God bless you. I am not, but As for me, I am
- 1:55:11stayed on receiving what God is giving me.
- 1:55:12Are we together now? Your child annoys you and you
- 1:55:17almost want to insult them and you just remember that.
- 1:55:20Look, I'm on a mission Say in Jesus name.
- 1:55:25I am free from offense. Say in the name of Jesus.
- 1:55:30I make a conscious decision to not be offended #5 when?
- 1:55:41Cairo seasons are before you. The fifth key, Are you ready?
- 1:55:45Stay focused. I'm giving you these keys as
- 1:55:49simplified as they are, but they work wonders when you believe
- 1:55:53and engage them. Stay focused.
- 1:55:55Stay focused. Matthew 6 and verse 22.
- 1:55:59Stay focused. It is at this point I must tell
- 1:56:04you that both success and failure can make you a failure
- 1:56:09because they can distract you. Success it distracts equally as
- 1:56:16failure. The Bible says the light of the
- 1:56:18body is the eye, and if your eye be single, your whole body shall
- 1:56:25be full of light. That you set your face like a
- 1:56:30Flint. No wavering to the left, no
- 1:56:33wavering to the right. When people celebrate you and
- 1:56:37call you King of Kings and Lord of Lords, you wave them in
- 1:56:40gratitude while your eyes is still on the mission.
- 1:56:42When people say you are stupid, you are belzebub by the Prince
- 1:56:46of demons. You cast demons, you wave them
- 1:56:48while your eyes are focused. Let me tell you this, visionary
- 1:56:51people are known for a non canny level of focus.
- 1:56:56This I learned from Doctor Miles Monroe.
- 1:56:59Make note of his book The Power of Vision.
- 1:57:02You must learn to be visionary. This one thing I do forgetting
- 1:57:08the things that are behind it didn't say forget the.
- 1:57:11Evil things it didn't say. Forget the disappointments.
- 1:57:15As a principle, I never celebrate the same level twice.
- 1:57:19Once I celebrate something enough to encourage.
- 1:57:22Me, that's it. I'm ready for the next step
- 1:57:27after we return from our conferences this year.
- 1:57:29You know, it was a great one going around from Europe to the
- 1:57:33West. And once we're done, after I
- 1:57:36laid down before God to say thank you, gave him the progress
- 1:57:39report, was ready for the next mission, once we're done by
- 1:57:44Sunday or Monday, I'll go back again and give him a progress
- 1:57:47report. Your Majesty, thank you for the
- 1:57:49awesome things you did next. Assignment victors don't have
- 1:57:54the time to over celebrate. No, I'm not saying don't
- 1:58:00celebrate. But there is a way it can push
- 1:58:03you. It deflates your appetite to
- 1:58:06press forward. That's why you find out that
- 1:58:10people never do something beyond their last level of success.
- 1:58:13They keep reminiscing as if there is nothing more to do.
- 1:58:17Do you know a young man should not be talking about stories of
- 1:58:21the past too much? You have an advantage of time
- 1:58:23and energy. Why are why are you not forward
- 1:58:26going with results? An old man can say in 1970 this,
- 1:58:30but when you find a young man since saying in 2005, in 2006 we
- 1:58:34did this. What happened to your energy?
- 1:58:37What happened to your mind? Did you freeze your progress?
- 1:58:45Are we together? Be free from offense and then
- 1:58:56stay focused. Stay focused.
- 1:59:00When men clap for you because of the mighty hand of God, you turn
- 1:59:04to them. Don't ignore them.
- 1:59:06Celebrate. It is what's celebrating Father.
- 1:59:09I give you all the praise, but then you turn.
- 1:59:11You set your face like a Flint. When people persecute and
- 1:59:15criticize you, it's largely because they admire you.
- 1:59:18You are doing what they don't have the courage to do and they
- 1:59:21are hoping to use your pain to comfort themselves.
- 1:59:26They hope that what they are saying will get to you so they
- 1:59:29can at least derive comfort and you show them a justification of
- 1:59:33why they are where they are to your focus.
- 1:59:38Your focus is an answer to them. That you're being distracted is
- 1:59:43the reason why you don't have strides.
- 1:59:45You don't have things that you can thank God for.
- 1:59:48Personally, the one thing I hate in my life is the wastage of
- 1:59:53time and the ministry of Time wasters.
- 1:59:59Hallelujah. Yes, it's good to encourage.
- 2:00:02Oh, how are you? I just want to go straight to
- 2:00:05the point. I'm not discouraged.
- 2:00:06Straight to the point. You are praying for me.
- 2:00:08Go ahead. Hallelujah.
- 2:00:11And knowing this side of the Kingdom, sometimes we waste
- 2:00:14people's time. You come prime time where people
- 2:00:17are productive, you just knock. Shalom.
- 2:00:20How are you? I just came.
- 2:00:22No, no. You come meet somebody by 2:00
- 2:00:24PM in the afternoon. A very active period.
- 2:00:28I said, do you have some time? So that we just just just want
- 2:00:31to share. No, no, no, no, no, no.
- 2:00:35I must walk the works of him while it is day.
- 2:00:39Are we together? The day is not for sleep, it's
- 2:00:42for walk. The night comes, then you sleep.
- 2:00:46Time wasters. Wait both.
- 2:00:48Day and night they waste their own.
- 2:00:50Then they waste your own. Where you should be resting,
- 2:00:54they want to disturb you. Where you should be walking,
- 2:00:56they want to disturb you. I bind that spirit from your
- 2:00:58life in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 2:01:03Gossiping, Justin. Wasting time discussing
- 2:01:07successful people without being inspired from them.
- 2:01:09Time. Wasters, please keep your vision
- 2:01:13in the name of Jesus Christ. You are a man of God, Keep your
- 2:01:16vision. You are a businessman, keep your
- 2:01:19vision. You are a young man.
- 2:01:20Imagine keep your vision sets your face like a Flint when you
- 2:01:25get up in the morning. Thank you.
- 2:01:26Have you heard about this one? Have you heard that a tree fell
- 2:01:29on this person's head? Really.
- 2:01:31Is he at the hospital? Let's intercede for him.
- 2:01:33Why we're interceding for him? I'm focused here.
- 2:01:35No, no, I want us to just about how the tree fell.
- 2:01:37That's not your business. Since you could not stop the
- 2:01:40tree from falling, don't involve.
- 2:01:42Me in that mundane discussion. Don't give yourself to people
- 2:01:48who are going nowhere. They just come and waste your
- 2:01:50time. Are you aware of the things
- 2:01:53husbands are doing these days and you sit down 8 hours?
- 2:01:56You are discussing things you cannot change.
- 2:01:58You become more foolish at the end of the discussion.
- 2:02:01Same thing happens to men. You find men sitting down just
- 2:02:04jesting away their lives. At the end of it, the man who is
- 2:02:09jesting does not have his children's school fees in place,
- 2:02:12does not have his house rent in place.
- 2:02:14No vision, no nothing. Commentators over successful
- 2:02:19people. And at the end they live
- 2:02:20frustrated. May you never be found in that
- 2:02:22company. Hallelujah, when someone meets
- 2:02:34you who wants to waste your time, politely tell him no time.
- 2:02:39My time is engaged. If you are bringing wisdom, you
- 2:02:42are welcome. Bringing value, you're welcome.
- 2:02:45Bringing passion for God, you're welcome.
- 2:02:47Bringing love, you're welcome. If you are bringing seeds of
- 2:02:50discord, bitterness, carry your trouble and go.
- 2:02:55Is someone learning now? I pray for you.
- 2:02:58The grace will be focused, the grace to be focused in the name
- 2:03:04of Jesus Christ. Always write out what you are
- 2:03:08doing at this point every point of your life, and follow it up
- 2:03:13to the latter. Follow it up to the latter.
- 2:03:19Let's hurry up. Key number six.
- 2:03:25I've given you 5 keys. Discernment.
- 2:03:28Gratitude. Faith and courage fighting
- 2:03:31offense, then to stay focused #6 related to stay in focus.
- 2:03:38How do you maximize Kyros? Seasons stay humble, stay humble
- 2:03:45I can spend all night drumming this stay humble.
- 2:03:52A time comes in your life Proverbs 1618 where you become
- 2:03:56aware. Of how exalted you are in God's
- 2:04:00prophetic scheme of things. At that point, you must be
- 2:04:02mindful. You can be visionary and yet
- 2:04:06very proud. Here's what the Bible says.
- 2:04:08Pride go wet before destruction and a haughty spirit before a
- 2:04:15fall. Hallelujah.
- 2:04:19And men can help to sing your praises.
- 2:04:22They can help to say a lot of things.
- 2:04:25You know, man of God, it's not, it's not that I don't want to
- 2:04:29say, but I hope you know you're the only one doing this kind of
- 2:04:31things. You mean it.
- 2:04:34You see, that's how folly begins.
- 2:04:37Nobody else is seeing this thing.
- 2:04:39And honestly speaking, sometimes they are right.
- 2:04:43And then you get back and you begin to say in your heart, my
- 2:04:47power and the might of my hand has given me this and has
- 2:04:51brought me to this level. One of the things I fear is when
- 2:04:57God grants me grace and things are happening in my life, when
- 2:05:01people begin to commend, it's not their fault.
- 2:05:04They have been lavished. They have been sincere.
- 2:05:06But I always lock myself and remind myself again, I don't
- 2:05:10even wait until maybe the conference or the convention or
- 2:05:13whatever is over, whatever they are celebrating.
- 2:05:17You see that now I, I begin to celebrate the Lord and say,
- 2:05:22Father, thank you, thank you for your grace.
- 2:05:25Thank you for your grace. I tried to hide the other
- 2:05:31doctorate that I received and I thought people would not get to
- 2:05:35know. Eventually people found out and
- 2:05:37said, ah, pause. Why didn't you tell us?
- 2:05:39That would have celebrated. I say, what for?
- 2:05:41Does he remove it or keep it? I've got to be God has given it.
- 2:05:44Glory be to God. I have work in front of me.
- 2:05:49Is it not foolish if I'm celebrating a second honorary
- 2:05:51doctorate where there's work here in front walk of souls, a
- 2:05:55serious business. Glory be to God.
- 2:05:57It's what celebrating but I thank God but that's just not
- 2:05:59me. Let's get to work.
- 2:06:02Let's get to work. Are we together now Some of you
- 2:06:12even quarrel people and say you saw it and you acted like you
- 2:06:15didn't see it. Abby, you see that there are
- 2:06:17people who literally. Engineer.
- 2:06:19Almost like what politicians do. Oh yeah, do something now.
- 2:06:22Say, put it. Let everybody see.
- 2:06:25What kind of? Life is that it's usually people
- 2:06:31who are idle. When you are serious and busy
- 2:06:35and there is a goal before you that is bigger than yourself,
- 2:06:37you get too occupied to be distracted.
- 2:06:41I pray for you. Mundane things will not distract
- 2:06:43you in the name of Jesus. But let me talk about staying
- 2:06:47humble. Pride is a killer.
- 2:06:51Rest on that revelation. Pride at any level is a killer
- 2:06:58the moment you get to a point where you do not see the
- 2:07:01sufficiency of Christ walking through you.
- 2:07:03Don't get me wrong, I've taught you that being arrogant and
- 2:07:07being simple are two different things.
- 2:07:10Are we together? Being humble does not mean
- 2:07:17refusing to acknowledge the good things God is doing in your
- 2:07:20life. No, no, if God has lifted you,
- 2:07:24you are lifted is what celebrating if God has blessed
- 2:07:27you. Remember the the human spirit is
- 2:07:29motivated on account of giant stripes, accomplishments,
- 2:07:33achievements in righteousness. But humility is the conscious
- 2:07:38acknowledgement of God as the basis for every result you have.
- 2:07:43So once you celebrate sincerely, you let the nation.
- 2:07:47'S know. That's why you see in all of our
- 2:07:48songs we always talk about the nations in Jesus, whether is the
- 2:07:52song brief or this very one. What saying is the nations that
- 2:07:55will sing His praise? The character of humility is
- 2:08:00that God lifts you when their eyes are on you, You now point
- 2:08:05them from where you are and say, look higher than me.
- 2:08:08You will see that the one who made me is above me, and He's
- 2:08:11the one who is deserving of our worship.
- 2:08:13Are we together now? Very, very important.
- 2:08:19You must learn to acknowledge Jesus in the midst of all the
- 2:08:22great strides. And let me tell you this by the
- 2:08:25message of God, this ministry say, is a beehive of people.
- 2:08:30Who? Are greatly accomplished whether
- 2:08:34in ministry, whether in Korea, whether in business, whether as
- 2:08:38whatever it is, but I thank God it's a gift that God has given
- 2:08:42me as a man of God a collection of truly humble people very
- 2:08:48honest human people. You will not even know who is
- 2:08:50who until someone tells you this man who sees the chairman of
- 2:08:54this board. He's the head of this and I said
- 2:08:56you mean this man and he's just acting like that, not that
- 2:09:00somebody comes and you're a chairman of one small board that
- 2:09:03was just does not even have tables in the in the office and
- 2:09:06you are moving around and shouting.
- 2:09:08Do you know I'm chairman. One of the ways you know if you
- 2:09:15are in trouble is when you are the one who announces yourself.
- 2:09:19You already know that you are dead on arrival.
- 2:09:24There is a hear ye him anointing that announces people who are
- 2:09:28doing something that is really worth it.
- 2:09:32Stay humble, James four and verse 6.
- 2:09:35Please give it to us. 46 James. But he giveth more grace.
- 2:09:41Wherefore he saith, God resisted the proud.
- 2:09:45Look at me, ladies and gentlemen, every time I read
- 2:09:48this statement, it really cost me.
- 2:09:50It causes me to tremble. For God to resist a man, are you
- 2:09:55going to use the anointing to fight him?
- 2:09:58Are you going to use angels to fight him?
- 2:10:00Are you going to use the blood of Jesus to fight him?
- 2:10:03For God to resist a man, it's a terrible thing.
- 2:10:08But God resisted the proud, but He giveth grace to the humble.
- 2:10:15Let me tell you the posture of humility.
- 2:10:18The posture of humility is not kneeling down or rolling on the
- 2:10:21ground. You can be rolling on the ground
- 2:10:23as a proud man, unrepentant proud man.
- 2:10:25In fact, your ruling can even be so that they will see you for
- 2:10:28more opportunity for pride. Are we together?
- 2:10:31There is an energy that true humility carries.
- 2:10:35When you see a man who is ever determined to be humble, you
- 2:10:39know you don't reject what God has done, but you acknowledge
- 2:10:45Him as the basis for it. I always pray and I tell God
- 2:10:49whatever you will ever make out of my life or give to me, that
- 2:10:54will make me try to push you out of the way and tell the people
- 2:10:58to focus on me even as I'm speaking now.
- 2:11:01May it never come into my life. I hope you are saying Amen for
- 2:11:05yourself too, because you need the prayer too.
- 2:11:11Right there are people like that.
- 2:11:14If they sit in a discussion, 90% of the conversation is about
- 2:11:18them. They become uncomfortable if you
- 2:11:21are talking about someone else. Hijacked the gist.
- 2:11:24I said just to let you know that in fact, I just returned from
- 2:11:26so, so, so, so and so. Are you aware?
- 2:11:28In fact, the other day as I was going, by the way, it was a
- 2:11:31private jet, It was not commercial.
- 2:11:32Who cares? And you find people, there are
- 2:11:35people like that. I'm not trying to be sarcastic.
- 2:11:37I'm just saying once you find an obsession to always want to be
- 2:11:42at the center stage, go for a retreat.
- 2:11:45It's not a personality issue. It's an attack on your
- 2:11:48continuity. Your success will not have
- 2:11:51longevity. Let people believe to you.
- 2:11:55That's their business. When God wants to announce you,
- 2:11:58you would do it in such a way that they will go back with
- 2:12:01repentance and say, Oh God, I'm sorry for looking down someone
- 2:12:05you have exalted. Is someone learning now?
- 2:12:07The way of humanity is a great one, very great one.
- 2:12:15One day I was traveling somewhere and one notable person
- 2:12:20in this nation, you know, he was seated not not just just seated
- 2:12:24next to me. And honestly, one of the things
- 2:12:27that touched me was his disposition of humility.
- 2:12:32This is someone who has the power to do and undo.
- 2:12:35But he was very, I mean, very modest, very cautious.
- 2:12:41I mean, just anything nice. And I sat quietly.
- 2:12:43I was watching him, people would come and greet him, people would
- 2:12:46talk, return back and you know, very cautious, give a listening
- 2:12:50ear. Genuinely, I said.
- 2:12:51No wonder God has exalted this man that way.
- 2:12:56And yet there are others who stop fighting from the aircraft.
- 2:12:59You hear it. They are fighting because
- 2:13:01everybody wants to know they are there.
- 2:13:04This is my right. You have not given me this one.
- 2:13:06You have not bring everything orange drink, whatever you are
- 2:13:08saying. Just.
- 2:13:09Calm down. No, no, I paid for it.
- 2:13:13While I'm saying this, don't just laugh.
- 2:13:15I'm telling you pride will always disgrace you.
- 2:13:20Always disgrace you because. A fool, even when he's silent,
- 2:13:26is regarded wise By the time you make a lot of noise and all
- 2:13:30those who answer you are greater than you is a message.
- 2:13:34Are we together now? The.
- 2:13:35Bible puts it this way. It says when you enter a house,
- 2:13:38sit at the back. You know what that means.
- 2:13:41Sit at the back does not mean demean yourself.
- 2:13:44Sit at the back. If truly you are deserving of
- 2:13:48honor, they will reach out and fetch you and.
- 2:13:51Bring you to the front. It's it's a it's a, it's a
- 2:13:55statement that shows the lifting power of humility.
- 2:13:59Have you been at a program where you just saw empty chairs?
- 2:14:03You don't know for who they left it and you just went and sat
- 2:14:06there. Correlate everybody.
- 2:14:08Then when the real people who the chairs belong to, when they
- 2:14:10come, they just whisper to you and say, can you stand up?
- 2:14:13Sorry, there's there's a chair outside and you have to stand
- 2:14:16up. You say which way they say
- 2:14:17sorry, all the doors are blocked.
- 2:14:18Follow this in front of everybody and go out and go and
- 2:14:23sit outside. You had a chance to sit at the
- 2:14:26back quietly. There was a space for you.
- 2:14:28Anyway, I'm tempted to use a word.
- 2:14:34I don't know what that word is in English, so I won't use it.
- 2:14:39Hallelujah. When you get into a place, sit
- 2:14:44at the back. You are a champion.
- 2:14:46What? Sit at the back?
- 2:14:47I don't mean it literally. Sit at the back.
- 2:14:50Maintain a posture of humility. In that ways.
- 2:14:53You have nothing to lose when you are worthy of honor.
- 2:14:58That is Luke 14. I think media just give it to
- 2:15:00us. Luke 1410 or thereabout.
- 2:15:04Is it not 1410 when you sit down and then they bid you to come
- 2:15:11and they say go higher. Aha, bus 11 But if you not
- 2:15:15decide to sit on your own or thereabout, they will not
- 2:15:18disgrace you. You see, that was talking with
- 2:15:21respect to pride. I dread pride in my life.
- 2:15:30I dread it. If there's any prayer you can
- 2:15:33pray for me is God. Keep this man humble.
- 2:15:36And let me tell you the truth, anybody who has tasted greatness
- 2:15:40knows that humility is an intentional thing.
- 2:15:43Intentional thing if you have not achieved anything.
- 2:15:48But when there are trophies before you, there are praises on
- 2:15:52your left, commendations on your right, trophies before you,
- 2:15:56giants who are on their, on their, on the ground behind you,
- 2:16:00and you are standing in the middle of all of this, that's a
- 2:16:03champion's picture. But you still need to be humble.
- 2:16:07Can you pray in one minute and say, Father, no matter how you
- 2:16:10lift me in this season, whether it's in ministry, whether it's
- 2:16:14in business, I cry unto you by the message of the God of David
- 2:16:18that you will touch my heart, that I do not become haughty,
- 2:16:22not in my conversations, not in my disposition, that I will not
- 2:16:27think I'm more highly of myself than I ought to.
- 2:16:30Someone lift your voice and pray because in this season God wants
- 2:16:35to prosper you like never before.
- 2:16:37But you need to obtain grace from God to not be haughty and
- 2:16:40high minded. God wants to promote you.
- 2:16:42God wants to honor you. It will be about your God.
- 2:16:49Stay humble, stay humble, stay humble.
- 2:16:56Hallelujah. As a personal principle, I'll
- 2:16:59tell you this. I have profound respect for
- 2:17:05people who have tested greatness and are remarkably humble.
- 2:17:10When I find those men, they command my admiration, my love,
- 2:17:14and my honor in an unusual way. To find people who are truly
- 2:17:19great, and they maintain a disposition of humility.
- 2:17:23They are not even aware of how humble a disposition they have.
- 2:17:31There's nothing as ugly as same people who have much and then
- 2:17:36their much is cancelled out in pride.
- 2:17:38Worst off those who don't have anything, then they now add
- 2:17:41pride on it. It's like sealing a well that is
- 2:17:46not working and cementing it. There's no there's no basis of
- 2:17:49digging it again so that it even works.
- 2:17:53Colonia, I pray for you as we step into the week where God is
- 2:17:57going to be showing great glory through our lives.
- 2:18:01It's an honor for us to host his presence and for the many things
- 2:18:05God is going to be doing. He will make a name for himself
- 2:18:07for sure. But when it is done, make sure
- 2:18:11we do not lift ourselves like footballers lift trophies and we
- 2:18:16beat our chest when we said this is Koinonia.
- 2:18:19What we? Mean is this is where Jesus is
- 2:18:22revealed and this is where he is glorified.
- 2:18:26Every time you say this is Koinonia, you're not just making
- 2:18:29a chant that tries to show the superiority of one man of God or
- 2:18:33one minister as against others. No, you are making a declaration
- 2:18:37that God has found himself a place where he will perpetually,
- 2:18:41eternally be revealed and he'll be glorified.
- 2:18:46I recall again the statement God made and told me years ago.
- 2:18:49He said, Son, if you will let men see me, He said there is
- 2:18:55nothing I will not give you, nothing I will not give you.
- 2:19:01That's the condition. If you will let men see me in
- 2:19:05ministry as I lift you, if you can hide behind the cross and
- 2:19:10let them see me, you see it now let me tell you the side effect
- 2:19:15of humility. Many people will step on your
- 2:19:17toes. Many people will take advantage
- 2:19:20of you. Many people will deliberately
- 2:19:22take advantage of your soft nature and try to rub it in.
- 2:19:26Don't worry, there are times you will feel so stupid being
- 2:19:29humble. You will wish that you had a
- 2:19:31chance to just slap it on your face.
- 2:19:33For once, let them really know that just because you are lamb
- 2:19:37doesn't mean you are not lion until you are still lion.
- 2:19:39But don't worry, this honor no man takes to himself.
- 2:19:43It is God who is a defender of men.
- 2:19:45God knows how to lift the humble in a way that that brings shame
- 2:19:51to those who despise them. So don't say apostle.
- 2:19:55I'm a great person, I'm a wealthy person, but every time I
- 2:19:58humble myself, there are people around who just don't give me
- 2:20:01the honor that should be. Don't worry, let this mind be in
- 2:20:04you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
- 2:20:06That although he was God, and did not consider robbery to be
- 2:20:09called God, but for your sake he humbled himself, and became like
- 2:20:14a mere man, and died. Even the death on the cross is
- 2:20:18some obedience unto death. Wherefore God had so highly
- 2:20:22exalted him, and given him a name that is above every other
- 2:20:25name, You. Never go wrong being humble.
- 2:20:31Men may despise you, They will take advantage of you.
- 2:20:33They may call your humility weakness.
- 2:20:35Don't worry, when all the dust settles, you will find out that
- 2:20:40you are still above. It is the blessings of humility.
- 2:20:45So I receive grace to be and remain humble.
- 2:20:50Shout it again. I receive grace to be and remain
- 2:20:53humble. Let me give you the 7th key.
- 2:20:57How do you maximize Cairo seasons?
- 2:21:00When you step into your opportune time, God lifting you,
- 2:21:04God announcing you, you are reaping the blessings of
- 2:21:07discernment, the blessings of alignment.
- 2:21:10Use your seasons to glorify Jesus and then to be a blessing
- 2:21:15to your world. Use your seasons and the
- 2:21:18advantage that comes with it. Use your seasons and the
- 2:21:24advantage that comes with it to glorify Jesus and to be a
- 2:21:31blessing to your world. Every time you allow seasons
- 2:21:37pass and all that is exalted in that season itself.
- 2:21:41You have wasted the season. When God brings you to your
- 2:21:46season of visibility, season of announcement, season of
- 2:21:49greatness. Always have this at the back of
- 2:21:51your mind that it is Jesus glorified and then that you are
- 2:21:56a blessing to your world. One of the ways you get me
- 2:22:01excited is to show me how my giftings, my abilities, and any
- 2:22:06privileges God has given me. If you can show me how it will
- 2:22:10glorify Jesus and you can show me how it will be a blessing to
- 2:22:13my world, then I'm all in with you.
- 2:22:19If you cannot show me how Jesus will be revealed and if you
- 2:22:23cannot show me how lives will be blessed.
- 2:22:26You can be sure I won't be part of it.
- 2:22:29Apostle we do this will be known.
- 2:22:32That's too small a reason you wouldn't motivate me that way.
- 2:22:35But if I can see how Jesus will be revealed.
- 2:22:39It's one of the reasons why I have deep honor for our Father
- 2:22:42and the Lord that did you one of the greatest motivations as I
- 2:22:46have known in his life is to use the the I don't for want of
- 2:22:54words to use the motivation of souls.
- 2:22:59Once you bring the motivation of souls, he is is like he's almost
- 2:23:04able to bend over backwards if he's able to for you.
- 2:23:09What level of greatness is he looking for at this age?
- 2:23:12What amount of money, what level of lifting.
- 2:23:16There are few things men can desire that God has not given
- 2:23:18him. What is motivation?
- 2:23:22Source and it's a lesson that I've learnt.
- 2:23:26Believe me, and I say this in the presence of Jesus and you
- 2:23:29all, there are very few things that motivate me in my life at
- 2:23:33this level. Even though I'm a young man, but
- 2:23:36there are not many things that motivate me.
- 2:23:38My greatest motivation in this life is that all I do will
- 2:23:43directly glorify Jesus and then it will end up being a blessing
- 2:23:47to men. Is someone learning when you
- 2:23:53step into your chiro season where you suddenly become a
- 2:23:56multi billionaire? Those billions are a waste if
- 2:24:01you cannot show how in addition to improving your life, will
- 2:24:05glorify Jesus directly and bring honor to the Saints, honor to
- 2:24:10your environment. If you rise up and you become a
- 2:24:14doctor, a professor, doesn't matter how many PhDs you have,
- 2:24:18how many doctorates you have, you get to the zenith of your
- 2:24:22academic pursuit. If you cannot show how it will
- 2:24:25glorify Jesus or apostle. Just to let you know that I
- 2:24:29became accredited as a fellow here, that's wonderful, but I'm
- 2:24:34not. Show me how it will glorify
- 2:24:36Jesus and show me how it will better people.
- 2:24:41Oh, I just earned a profit of 10 billion from my business.
- 2:24:44Apostle. OK, I'm impressed.
- 2:24:47That's the fruit of your diligence.
- 2:24:49But I'm still listening. I've not heard Jesus glorified
- 2:24:52yet. I have not had lives blessed
- 2:24:54yet, so your statement is incomplete.
- 2:24:58You never come and just flaunt your crowns before me.
- 2:25:01No, you will not get, you will not secure my admiration for one
- 2:25:05bit, I tell you. But when you show me how you're
- 2:25:08lifting, brought about the lifting of the name of Jesus.
- 2:25:12In that territory, in your sphere of influence, you are
- 2:25:14speaking God's language. You are speaking my language.
- 2:25:18If you let me know how lives can be blessed, you see that?
- 2:25:23Our precious people had a rally over the week and it was such a
- 2:25:27humbling experience watching a lot of them as God prompted it
- 2:25:31in my heart. We went for a rally and I told
- 2:25:33them let's go to the place where you meet for want of word.
- 2:25:37You meet people who cannot give you anything.
- 2:25:39They can do whatever it is and they spend their resources,
- 2:25:43spent whatever to go just heralding the name of Jesus.
- 2:25:46And when I remember, particularly when I saw the
- 2:25:50budget for transportation alone. Have you have no idea but you
- 2:25:53just imagine to have about 300 and something to 400 luxurious
- 2:25:59bosses across. Just think in your mind one boss
- 2:26:03is a 40 seater and you're having over 300 and something of them
- 2:26:07every day. Every day until the convention
- 2:26:11is done. But when I saw it, I told my
- 2:26:14people defend it and they said some of these people will not be
- 2:26:17able to afford it. And I just remembered, This is
- 2:26:20why he brought us here. I said it is worth the price.
- 2:26:24It's worth the price. It's worth the price.
- 2:26:30It's worth the price. Are we together?
- 2:26:33It is for the name of Jesus. Now I'm not.
- 2:26:37Saying this to attract your sympathy.
- 2:26:39I'm just trying to help you understand, you know, what it
- 2:26:42means to secure a stadium for five days.
- 2:26:45Think about it. A stadium for five days.
- 2:26:51Some of you have worked with government, some of you who
- 2:26:53walked around those places. You know what it means.
- 2:26:58You know the properties and the things you can buy with those
- 2:27:01monies and other things you can do.
- 2:27:03Not to talk of all that it takes to put something like this.
- 2:27:06Certainly it can be about making a name.
- 2:27:09There are cheaper ways to make a name.
- 2:27:12But when you think about the glorification of Jesus and you
- 2:27:16think about the lives that will be saved, you know, as we
- 2:27:20organize crusades around the world, I'm the one who does the
- 2:27:25altar cause and as I watch people.
- 2:27:29Come out Caucasians, Africans, Americans, Europeans.
- 2:27:35I stand there and the vision that comes before me is just a
- 2:27:40cross. I can imagine Jesus seated on
- 2:27:44his throne and saying This is why I died.
- 2:27:48Thank you, my dear Son, for leading these people to Jesus
- 2:27:53and for me the joy once I see that happen.
- 2:27:58And then, in addition to salvation, as the word of God
- 2:28:01comes and you watch someone nodding, sometimes the word of
- 2:28:05God is coming and you see someone quiet.
- 2:28:08Only the tears are doing the speaking.
- 2:28:10You can see that a miracle of transformation is happening.
- 2:28:14I become so motivated. Doesn't matter the time, the
- 2:28:17energy, it just evaporates. This becomes worth it all.
- 2:28:24Ladies and gentlemen, hear me, hear me.
- 2:28:31Birthing and maintaining the move of God will cost you your
- 2:28:34all. It will cost you prayer.
- 2:28:38It will cost you studying the Word.
- 2:28:41It will cost you stretching your relationships.
- 2:28:44It will cost you heavy finances. It will cost you your time, your
- 2:28:49energy. Sometimes it may even cost you
- 2:28:52your health. But when you remember what?
- 2:28:56Jesus did on the cross. When you remember the assignment
- 2:29:00that he's given, you're worthy of it all.
- 2:29:10You're worthy of it all. Far from you are all things, and
- 2:29:20to you are all things you. Deserve the glory for the time
- 2:29:28the energy spent. You're worthy.
- 2:29:32Of it all. We do this for Jesus and for his
- 2:29:37Kingdom. You're.
- 2:29:39Worthy of it all. Fall from you are all things and
- 2:29:50to you are all things. You deserve the glory.
- 2:29:56We'll sing it one more time. Let it rise from your heart to
- 2:30:00the throne your. Word.
- 2:30:31We're stepping this week into a Kairos moment for me as a
- 2:30:38person, for us, as a global ministry, I believe for the body
- 2:30:44of Christ in Nigeria. I saw a video of delegates
- 2:30:48coming in from Kenya and other parts of the nation.
- 2:30:53Some of them are in their hundreds.
- 2:30:56I mean, I was almost in tears and I said.
- 2:30:59Look what hunger does to people. Look what passion does to
- 2:31:03people. I mean, delegates of pastors,
- 2:31:06literally some of them are already around.
- 2:31:09Some of them are locked up long wait times at the airport, but
- 2:31:13they consider it worth it to arrive because they want to
- 2:31:17partake of a fire that does not fall all the time.
- 2:31:21Sometimes it falls once, twice in every generation.
- 2:31:28My assignment is to help set the altars and we have done so by
- 2:31:34the Spirit. My assignment is to put the
- 2:31:37living sacrifice. We be the sacrifice ourselves.
- 2:31:42My assignment is to. Pour.
- 2:31:44Water. But when I'm done, then I step
- 2:31:48back and I say, God of heaven, you are the one who answers a
- 2:31:53generation by fire. We have allowed bail enough time
- 2:31:59to call upon their God. It's time for the God that
- 2:32:03answers by fire. Let the fire fall.
- 2:32:09Let the river flow. Let it burn inside.
- 2:32:16Let it flow outside. Let the fire fall.
- 2:32:22Let the river flow. Let it burn inside.
- 2:32:29Let it flow outside. Let the fire fall.
- 2:32:36Let the river flow. We're wrapping up.
- 2:32:48Give me a minute to speak to the body of Christ.
- 2:32:52There are men that God raises not for themselves, not for a
- 2:32:56church, not for a ministry, not for a denomination.
- 2:33:02They are raised for a generation.
- 2:33:05They are raised for a dispensation.
- 2:33:09The General Assembly is not like every other conference.
- 2:33:14It's not like every other convention is beyond a
- 2:33:17ministry's global convergence. It may have started that way,
- 2:33:23but the momentum that has been built in the Spirit has gone
- 2:33:26beyond the Koinonia issue. This is now the body of Christ.
- 2:33:31This is not even a Nigerian thing.
- 2:33:32Again, God has found. By mercy a people.
- 2:33:39And a platform through which he wants to speak, something that
- 2:33:43will literally be a shift to a generation.
- 2:33:49We are honored to be at the threshold of something
- 2:33:52prophetic. I remember and and I'm happy His
- 2:33:58Royal Highness is here. Doctor Miles Monroe greatly
- 2:34:02revetment. I remember the morning he died.
- 2:34:05I was in worry. I went to preach and that
- 2:34:09morning I woke up and I literally felt a physical sharp.
- 2:34:14Pain. Sharp.
- 2:34:16Pain. I said, what's what's going on?
- 2:34:18God forbid you know, and just left and I lay down and it was I
- 2:34:23think it was very early in the morning and reports just reached
- 2:34:27me and they said he was traveling for a conference and
- 2:34:32he died together with his wife, the vice president, the wife,
- 2:34:39and I thought to myself, I said God, why?
- 2:34:43But I thought again I said, well, I count you faithful.
- 2:34:47And then I remembered the Scripture that came to me that
- 2:34:50Abel do dead yet speaketh he immortalized his impact in some
- 2:34:57of us, that Apostolic dimension he brought to the body of
- 2:35:04Christ. Some saw it.
- 2:35:06Some ignored it, but we thank God that some of us were able to
- 2:35:11see that * and we embraced it. And today, in addition to many
- 2:35:17other graces we have received, we are running with.
- 2:35:20It is the reason why we don't just change.
- 2:35:23Men, we change nations, we don't just disciple men with disciple
- 2:35:29nations. I remember his passion that he
- 2:35:31had for the Third world. He set up a Third World forum
- 2:35:37with a great desire to reach into Africa.
- 2:35:41He's long gone, but we're happy that we're alive.
- 2:35:45If Christ tarries after many years, many, indeed some of us
- 2:35:49will join the cloud of witnesses too.
- 2:35:52We have the privilege of having at least two or three
- 2:35:56generations still alive in Nigeria and this convergence.
- 2:36:01Will be a. Margin of generations.
- 2:36:05There are not many times that God brings us that honor.
- 2:36:10When I was told that our mother in the Lord had decided to come
- 2:36:16along, I said this is it. When you have a father and a
- 2:36:20mother together from biology, you know that birthing is
- 2:36:25possible. You know that transference is
- 2:36:27possible. I knew and I'm saying this
- 2:36:31openly and it's an honor. I will communicate my gratitude
- 2:36:35when they come by the message of God.
- 2:36:37I've been in the system. It is a profound privilege that
- 2:36:42is by revelation, not just to have that it's your calm.
- 2:36:47This one. He's not just coming to us.
- 2:36:49A generation called. And they answered.
- 2:36:54They answer. They answer.
- 2:36:57It's a profound honor. Come Wednesday, Thursday,
- 2:37:02Friday, Saturday, Sunday, as we wrap up with sound of revival.
- 2:37:09My prayer, My personal prayer. Is not just healings, miracles,
- 2:37:14signs and wonders. Not that I don't want to see it.
- 2:37:17My prayer is, O God, whatever must drop for our generation,
- 2:37:23let it drop through the declarations.
- 2:37:26Whatever must drop the imagines of the next level that it use
- 2:37:32the next level. Mummy Jios in business and some
- 2:37:36of you are coming from Kenya, coming from Uganda.
- 2:37:40God has used you as that first fruit to come and take something
- 2:37:44that is holy and imported back. I'm telling you, I pray from my
- 2:37:49heart that this will bring a shift across the spiritual
- 2:37:52climate of Africa, that it will bring a shift across the
- 2:37:56spiritual climate of Europe. Now let me tell you this, we are
- 2:38:00not the only ones God is using this way but in this season.
- 2:38:05Respect what God is doing. There is a loud statement that
- 2:38:09He's making and we are honored. My.
- 2:38:12Encouragement to the Body of Christ.
- 2:38:14Pastors watching membership across different denominations.
- 2:38:19Let's keep away all the nuances and sentiments of
- 2:38:24denominationalism and together let us converge under one
- 2:38:28umbrella. It's a Clarion call.
- 2:38:31God has called for a solemn assembly.
- 2:38:34The fathers have heard. Generations have heard.
- 2:38:37Let us converge together and watch what God will say over
- 2:38:42this nation, over our lives, over the body of Christ, and
- 2:38:47over the seasons that are coming.
- 2:38:49I want to thank everyone who's been involved in publicity
- 2:38:54prayers, invitation fastings. There are people who began
- 2:38:58fasting even before we started our fasting officially.
- 2:39:04It's amazing. People who have been around,
- 2:39:07they've been interceding from the time we announced it.
- 2:39:10You cannot imagine the sacrifices that people have
- 2:39:13made. We are going to pray.
- 2:39:15Tonight after tonight, the next place we meet.
- 2:39:19Would be at the stadium glorifying Jesus.
- 2:39:22Please rise up on your feet. Oh come O Come me man and run
- 2:39:31some cab TV. Oh come O Come me man, and run
- 2:39:42some cab TV. Rejoice, rejoice Emmanuel has
- 2:39:56come to us, his ease Ryan. Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel, you
- 2:40:11have come to us. Your ease, Ryan.
- 2:40:17I'm about to pray. When you step into a Kairos
- 2:40:22moment, you meet with Jesus, but you also meet with the men he
- 2:40:28has sent to open your eyes and grant you access to investments
- 2:40:34of the Spirit. By the grace of God as a
- 2:40:36ministry, by the grace of God as a generation, we can say by
- 2:40:42mercy, we have seen Jesus, we have tasted of his grace and His
- 2:40:47power. But God this week is sending us
- 2:40:52men in the order of Ananias. Some of you have met them across
- 2:40:58several meetings. It is not the same.
- 2:41:02Jesus of Nazareth is different from Jesus Christ.
- 2:41:07If you meet Him on your way to Nazareth is a different thing
- 2:41:11when you meet Him in His capacity as Jesus the Christ, He
- 2:41:16said, Who do men say that I am? He said, I know who thou art.
- 2:41:20You are Christ, the Son of the living God.
- 2:41:24We are going to. Pray first for yourself, then we
- 2:41:28pray once for the meeting and what done for the night.
- 2:41:32I don't know what your expectations are before the
- 2:41:34Lord, but in this chiros moment a window, a portal is being
- 2:41:40opened over the body of Christ. Whether you are going to be
- 2:41:44there on site, whether you're going to be there online, please
- 2:41:48lift your voice in the next one minute and cry out your
- 2:41:50expectation. Are you praying, Oh God of signs
- 2:42:24and ones? Save your Redeemer.
- 2:42:28Come and manifest your power. Be there, Oh oh God of signs,
- 2:42:39say your Redeemer come and manifest your power.
- 2:42:44The devil, Oh God of sins, say your Redeemer come and manifest
- 2:43:01your power. Cry out to expectation.
- 2:43:37Father, visit me, give me an encounter.
- 2:43:41Someone is praying. Let there be a shift in my
- 2:43:44ministry, let there be a shift in my business, let there be a
- 2:43:49shift, or let there be a deposit of divine things.
- 2:43:57Let me step into a new prophetic season as a businessman, as a
- 2:44:03man of God someone, pray as a parent, as a politician.
- 2:44:09Pray for Nigeria that will step into a new season.
- 2:44:13Pray for the church in Africa. Let this bring such a powerful
- 2:44:19move of the spirit from Ghana to South Africa, from Kenya to
- 2:44:24Uganda to Cote d'Ivoire to Congo.
- 2:44:27DRC from UK to China, the Middle East, Let it be a reverberation
- 2:44:34of light and power. Someone go ahead and pray.
- 2:44:46Shabba kata bracata baracatos. We cry for a divine visitation
- 2:44:53from that stadium, beaming to the ends of the earth.
- 2:44:57Across. Across every state in Nigeria,
- 2:45:00across every viewing center, let there be an awakening.
- 2:45:06Let mantels fall. Let Graces be released.
- 2:45:20In Jesus mighty name we pray. In Jesus most victorious name
- 2:45:30we. Pray Hallelujah, I'm about to
- 2:45:35make the altar call. Well, let me say this, please
- 2:45:40make sure that you define your expectations with God.
- 2:45:47Bible faith is vision dependent. I appreciate the crowd of people
- 2:45:54coming all over the world. But when you have people who
- 2:45:57just come to get excited with no vision, you might live
- 2:46:01disappointed. Have clear expectations, Lord.
- 2:46:05This is what I desire that You do in my life.
- 2:46:07This is what I desire that You do in my nation.
- 2:46:11Don't just travel in with the flag of your nation and wave it.
- 2:46:14Let the waving be the Lord. We are crying for a visitation.
- 2:46:18There's a reason why God has granted us grace to host that
- 2:46:21meeting at the stadium. I believe it is prophetic.
- 2:46:24And we will know why. In the course of the convention,
- 2:46:28glory to Jesus, Give Jesus a big hand, clap Hallelujah.
- 2:46:34Now everyone please stand. Let's honor the altar call
- 2:46:40tonight for someone. Your defining season is that you
- 2:46:45encounter Jesus. You are in this place, and on
- 2:46:49hearing me speak, you know that you do not have a functional
- 2:46:52relationship with Jesus. You are a good person, perhaps,
- 2:46:57but you cannot say of it shortly that today I have a functional
- 2:47:02relationship with Jesus. I want you to give me the honor
- 2:47:05of leading you to this one who has changed my life, our lives,
- 2:47:12the rock behind this vision, and the One who's empowered us to do
- 2:47:16the things we're doing for the Kingdom.
- 2:47:18Wherever you are, I'm going to count 1 to 5 and I'm looking for
- 2:47:22a bold, sincere person who wants to win that war of destiny.
- 2:47:26Tonight, 2 calls in one. On the one hand, someone who is
- 2:47:30an apostle. I love the things you have
- 2:47:33shared. The Holy Ghost has convicted me.
- 2:47:35I cannot say I've made it right with Jesus.
- 2:47:38I want to make it right with Him right now.
- 2:47:41On the other hand, I'm calling on someone who is an apostle.
- 2:47:46I remember making it right at one time, but as it stands right
- 2:47:48now, honestly, I cannot say I'm walking in a healthy, functional
- 2:47:54relationship with Jesus. I want to rededicate my life.
- 2:47:57Wherever you are, I count 1 to 5.
- 2:48:00Up the balcony, across all the overflows, spilling into
- 2:48:04outside. Please, wherever you are, begin
- 2:48:07to step forward as I count 1 to 5.
- 2:48:09Your bags, your Bibles, everything you came to church
- 2:48:12with. One God bless you.
- 2:48:13Let's celebrate them as they come.
- 2:48:17God bless you. Koinonia.
- 2:48:18Are you celebrating salvation 2? God bless you.
- 2:48:22Bless you, My dear sister. You don't have to kneel.
- 2:48:25Please come. Keep clapping.
- 2:48:27Celebrate them as they come. Thank you, thank you.
- 2:48:31This is for your destiny. But this extends for your
- 2:48:36children, for those who will come out of your life.
- 2:48:40Three, keep clapping. Don't stop clapping until the
- 2:48:49last person is here. If you're coming to make haste.
- 2:48:52Those who are coming from outside, let's celebrate
- 2:48:56salvation as they come for in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 2:49:07Hallelujah, you're joining them. Join them quickly.
- 2:49:09Thank you, thank you so much. Thank you.
- 2:49:13It gives the Father joy to see many come to Jesus.
- 2:49:15The Bible says as many who will come to him, Jesus, he will be
- 2:49:20no wise despise. He will be no wise castaway.
- 2:49:22I want to thank you my dear brothers and sisters.
- 2:49:25And for those of you who are connected following online, you
- 2:49:27can make that decision right where you are.
- 2:49:30Whether you are following by television, you are following
- 2:49:32from any of our viewing centers, or you are connected just on the
- 2:49:36Internet across our social media platforms.
- 2:49:39This is your chance, your night, your opportunity to make it
- 2:49:42right with Jesus. Can I ask you to lift your hands
- 2:49:44high above your head for those of you who are here as a sign of
- 2:49:47total surrender? Then you say this loud and say
- 2:49:50this clear after me, say Lord Jesus tonight.
- 2:49:54I have heard your word. I believe you are the Son of
- 2:49:59God. I believe you died for my sins.
- 2:50:04I believe you rose again for my justification.
- 2:50:09Right now I receive Jesus into my heart as my Savior, my Lord,
- 2:50:16and my King. I declare that the power of sin
- 2:50:22Satan. Hell.
- 2:50:24And the grave is broken over my life from tonight.
- 2:50:29I'm a child of God. I love the Lord and I will walk
- 2:50:34in His ways all the days of my life.
- 2:50:37Amen. Keep your hands lifted, Father.
- 2:50:39Thank you for this precious ones.
- 2:50:41They have come declaring your lordship over their lives.
- 2:50:43And the Bible says as many who come to you, you will in no wise
- 2:50:46castaway. I declare by the authority of
- 2:50:48Scripture your sins are forgiven.
- 2:50:50From tonight I call you bona fide recipients of the life of
- 2:50:54God, and upon your profession of faith I declare that you are
- 2:50:58recipients of His life, His grace, and His mercy.
- 2:51:02You are empowered from tonight to live the victorious Christian
- 2:51:04life, and for you it is forward ever and backward never.
- 2:51:09In the name of Jesus, Amen and Amen.
- 2:51:11Please look to my right. That would be your left from
- 2:51:14where you are. There are counselors who will
- 2:51:18have a word with you very quickly, and then you'll be back
- 2:51:22to your seat. Let's honor them as they go.
- 2:51:24Keep clapping, celebrate them. Keep clapping, Keep clapping.

- 2:52:59pleasant surprises. I declared a week of
- 2:53:03supernatural encounters in the name of Jesus.
- 2:53:08Every plot by hell to make this week a week of pain and tears
- 2:53:13and regret. We cancel it now.
- 2:53:15In Jesus name. We speak over those who are
- 2:53:19traveling from across the globe coming.

- 2:53:25blessed while on the road, they are blessed at sea.
