  season of your life. A.
• 8:21
  Few more seconds you are praying.
• 8:27
  Ah, someone's life is changing. I sense fire in this place
• 8:31
  tonight. Someone's life is changing.
• 8:34
  Until his word came, the word of the Lord tried him.
• 8:37
  But when the word comes, it heals.
• 8:41
  It delivers. It delivers to you your portion
• 8:44
  in destiny. No more stagnation, no more
• 8:50
  failure, no more unwise decisions, no more fear.

  I live by every word, even the preceding word, and now that it
• 9:04
  has come for me, I receive it into my spirit.
• 9:31
  In Jesus mighty name we pray. In Jesus mighty name we pray.
• 9:40
  In Jesus mighty name we pray. Father, as you place this words
• 9:46
  in my spirit, I have spoken it over your people.
• 9:50
  Let there be a performance. Let not one of these prophetic
• 9:55
  words fail. Let me give you an assignment
• 9:58
  already. Use this week to war with these
• 10:01
  prophecies. War with them.
• 10:03
  Take them to the place of prayer from Sunday to Sunday.
• 10:07
  Lord, you have spoken, I go forward.
• 10:10
  Take some time to pray it into your life.
• 10:12
  Carries in yourself with the Scriptures that support you.
• 10:16
  In the name of Jesus. The word has come that I obtain
• 10:19
  help. Where am I help us?
• 10:21
  I call them by power, by prophecy.
• 10:24
  I will not be without help again.
• 10:27
  Do you believe what you just received?
• 10:29
  Yes Sir, Don't despise prophesying.
• 10:34
  Remember when the prophet said by this time tomorrow there was
• 10:37
  a man who the king leans on, and the man said, even if God would
• 10:40
  do this, might this happen? And he said, because you have
• 10:43
  doubted prophecy, you will see it to show that the Lord is
• 10:46
  faithful, but you will not eat of it.
• 10:48
  He died at the gate of at the gate where there was abundance.
• 10:53
  They trampled upon him into their promise.
• 10:56
  I pray for you that every word God has spoken tonight, some of
• 11:00
  you before service is over, the evidence will be waiting for
• 11:03
  you. In the name of Jesus Christ,
• 11:08
  please be seated. Let the wait of your glory fall.
• 11:15
  Let it cover all the earth. Let the wait of your glory fall.
• 11:27
  Let it cover all the earth. Let it cover all the earth.
• 11:38
  Let it cover all the earth. Let it cover all the earth.
• 12:16
  I receive, I manifest your power.
• 12:24
  And he always start till the nation's see Jesus lift it up.
• 12:34
  It's my prayer ex olds all I receive.
• 12:41
  I manifest your power. I.
• 13:46
  I manifest your power and you always stop.
• 13:54
  One more time I receive. I manifest your power, and you
• 14:03
  always stop till the nation see Jesus.
• 14:17
  One day, very soon, I promise you, you will be singing this
• 14:21
  song, but not in this place. You will sing this song in front
• 14:25
  of your testimony when the world will stand in awe of God's hand
• 14:30
  upon your life, when your loved ones who stand in awe and say
• 14:34
  so. This is how God can change a
• 14:36
  man. This is how God can change a
• 14:39
  woman. This song, you see, will be your
• 14:43
  anthem for many years, many years, many years.
• 14:49
  In the name of Jesus Christ. Please be seated if you can.
• 14:55
  Thank you Jesus. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
• 15:01
  2 announcements and then we'll get straight into the teaching
• 15:07
  of the Word. As always, you are welcome.
• 15:09
  This is the House of God. This is Koinonia, and we bless
• 15:14
  the Lord for the privilege He's given us to serve His grace, His
• 15:17
  wisdom, His power to us here and to the nations.
• 15:22
  As many who are connected to this grace.
• 15:25
  We bless God for your life and want to assure you that tonight,
• 15:29
  as always, will be a moment of encounter, a moment of
• 15:34
  transformation. Very quickly.
• 15:36
  By God's grace, by now you know already that next week is our
• 15:40
  miracle service for the month of July.
• 15:44
  It's going to be an extraordinary time in this
• 15:47
  place. Among the many things we're
• 15:49
  going to be doing, by God's grace, we're going to be
• 15:52
  officially doing a visual unveiling of our property.
• 15:58
  Hallelujah. And then #2 will officially be
• 16:02
  launching a building fund. So for those of you who have
• 16:06
  waited and waited to give, Please be patient.
• 16:08
  One more week left and will open doors officially.
• 16:11
  We appreciate your heart to give.
• 16:14
  And we know that there is a ready army waiting to stand with
• 16:18
  us and stand by us as we step into the next season.
• 16:24
  It's a very prophetic season. And let me tell you this, as a
• 16:27
  ministry, the building is only a prophetic sign that we are
• 16:31
  corporately entering a new season.
• 16:34
  Hallelujah. If I were you, I would look
• 16:36
  beyond the building. You see, let me not go ahead of
• 16:43
  myself. But it's important for you to
• 16:45
  know that this is beyond just a building project.
• 16:49
  It is for someone. You are entering a stage where
• 16:52
  God wants to establish you for someone.
• 16:55
  You are entering a season where God wants to give you rest
• 16:57
  roundabout. You will look left and right and
• 17:00
  find out that there are no battles again because God would
• 17:04
  have sorted your life. And for someone in this season,
• 17:08
  those who mocked God in your life, God is about to answer
• 17:11
  them in a way, because you have allowed Him to answer them.
• 17:16
  He will answer them indeed, in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 17:21
  Hallelujah. Now the believer.
• 17:23
  I have taught you in this house that the believer is a product
• 17:28
  of encounters. The believer in Christ is a
• 17:33
  product of encounters. An encounter for a definition,
• 17:39
  is the name given to any spiritual journey, any spiritual
• 17:44
  process that makes a person or a thing real to you.
• 17:50
  So the assignment of an encounter is to crystallize
• 17:54
  within your heart, your spirit, and your experience.
• 17:57
  The reality of a person, the reality of a thing, and the goal
• 18:03
  of encounters is to produce conviction.
• 18:06
  I'll take the definition again so that an encounter.
• 18:09
  This is just a preamble. Believers are products of
• 18:13
  encounters. If your journey in the faith
• 18:15
  life is not based on encounters #1 you will not last, to you
• 18:21
  will not be effective. But I know whom I have believed,
• 18:26
  and I am persuaded on account of encounters, that He is able to
• 18:30
  keep that which is committed unto him against that day.
• 18:35
  But the people that do know their God, they shall be strong,
• 18:39
  and they shall do exploits. Hallelujah, praise the name of
• 18:44
  the Lord. So encounters are spiritual
• 18:47
  experiences that make a person, that make an idea real to you,
• 18:54
  so that it is no longer theoretical.
• 18:57
  It crystallizes the reality of a person, the reality of an
• 19:05
  ideology to your spirit, to your heart, producing conviction so
• 19:12
  that you are persuaded beyond doubt.
• 19:15
  You are persuaded beyond turning back.
• 19:18
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord and like you've learnt
• 19:24
  in this house. A quick recap that there are
• 19:28
  many encounters A believer will have in his faith walk through
• 19:32
  the span of his faith walk. But there are four of them that
• 19:36
  define your spiritual experience and define the level of
• 19:42
  efficiency. In fact, if any one of these
• 19:44
  encounters fail in your life, fail to happen, you will be
• 19:49
  stunted, you will be inefficient #1 and in order of priority is
• 19:55
  your encounter with Jesus, the Son of the living God.
• 19:59
  It matters that this becomes your first encounter.
• 20:03
  Without this encounter, you cannot be called a Christian.
• 20:07
  You cannot be called a believer. Your encounter with the Lord
• 20:11
  Jesus Christ. I don't have to recap for you
• 20:14
  again. That upon encountering the Lord
• 20:16
  Jesus Christ in the experience we call salvation or new birth,
• 20:20
  you receive the forgiveness of sins, the gift of righteousness,
• 20:25
  and the life of God #2 The second encounter that is
• 20:30
  necessary for the health of your spiritual journey is your
• 20:33
  encounter with the person and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
• 20:38
  The person and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
• 20:42
  In as much as the Holy Spirit plays a role in your receiving
• 20:46
  Jesus, at that initial salvation experience, there is a separate
• 20:51
  encounter with the person and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
• 20:56
  Jesus speaking about the Holy Spirit said when He, the Spirit
• 20:59
  of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth.
• 21:04
  Hallelujah, He will show you things to come.
• 21:09
  Take off the things that are of the Father and reveal them to
• 21:12
  you. He is the Spirit of truth #3
• 21:16
  your encounter with the Word of God, The Word of God, not as the
• 21:21
  person Jesus, but as a compendium of the speakings and
• 21:27
  the thoughts and the ideas of God, the Logos of God.
• 21:33
  Acts 2032. I commend you to God and to the
• 21:37
  word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you
• 21:42
  an inheritance among them that are sanctified.
• 21:45
  Colossians, chapter 3 and verse 16.
• 21:47
  Let the word of Christ, it says, dwell in you richly in all
• 21:52
  wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns,
• 21:56
  spiritual songs, the Bible says, and that from a child thou has
• 22:00
  known the Holy Scripture, which is able to make you wise unto
• 22:05
  salvation. John 1 and verse 3.
• 22:08
  And without him, outside of the world was not anything made that
• 22:13
  was made. Colossians 116.
• 22:16
  The Bible tells us that all things were created by him, the
• 22:21
  Word, The things that are in heaven, earth, visible and
• 22:24
  invisible, whether they be Thrones, whether they be
• 22:27
  dominions, principalities. You can have the initial
• 22:30
  salvation experience and yet not encounter the Word of God.
• 22:36
  As a compendium of the ways of God.
• 22:39
  I told you that there is Jesus the way.
• 22:42
  There is Jesus the person, but there is Jesus the way, the
• 22:47
  methodology of the Kingdom, the path that leads to life.
• 22:51
  When you find that path and walk therein, according to Jeremiah
• 22:55
  616, the Bible says you will find rest for your soul.
• 22:59
  It's called the ancient path. Hallelujah.
• 23:03
  And then #4 you must encounter the body of Christ, the body of
• 23:09
  Christ, the diversity of revelations and graces deposited
• 23:15
  within the body for your profiting Ephesians chapter 4.
• 23:21
  When you read from verse 11, the Bible says when He led captivity
• 23:25
  captive, He gave gifts to men, given some apostles and prophets
• 23:31
  and evangelists and pastors and teachers for the maturing, the
• 23:34
  perfecting of the Saints. So that the Saints now being
• 23:38
  perfected will do the work of the ministry for the edifying,
• 23:42
  the profiting of the body of Christ.
• 23:44
  Until verse 13, we come to the unity of faith and of the
• 23:49
  knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man, the fullness of
• 23:53
  the stature of the measure of Christ.
• 23:57
  If you do not encounter the body of Christ, there are dimensions
• 24:01
  of God that will be foreign to your Christian experience.
• 24:04
  You will not be able to have a balanced wholesome growth.
• 24:09
  An example of such instance is found in Acts chapter 18 from
• 24:13
  verse 24 down to the end. The story of Apollos.
• 24:17
  Acts chapter 19 from verse one to four, the story of the
• 24:21
  disciples who were had passed through the upper coast.
• 24:26
  Hallelujah. I call it a knowing only
• 24:28
  syndrome and that happens when you do not encounter the
• 24:32
  diversity of graces that are deposited within the body of
• 24:36
  Christ. Within the body of Christ is the
• 24:39
  wisdom and the grace for excellence.
• 24:41
  Within the body of Christ is the wisdom and grace for power and
• 24:47
  the manifestations of the hand of God.
• 24:51
  Within the body of Christ is the grace to build.
• 24:54
  Within the body of Christ is the grace to last, and so when you
• 24:58
  encounter the Word of God, in addition to that you encounter
• 25:03
  the distribution of the graces first, the wisdom and the graces
• 25:08
  that have been allotted to various people and platforms
• 25:13
  across the body, and then it causes you to be wholesome.
• 25:19
  Imagine the Bible without the writings of Paul or meeting.
• 25:23
  The writings of one man alone will make the understanding of
• 25:27
  God and his program incomplete. Imagine the Bible without the
• 25:31
  writings of Peter, just one man subtracting one man's
• 25:35
  contribution. You see that and you are not
• 25:39
  able to understand Scripture again, Hallelujah, praise the
• 25:43
  name of the Lord. So believers are products of
• 25:46
  encounters. Tonight I want to teach you how
• 25:49
  seasons birth the glory of God, how seasons birth greatness in a
• 25:54
  topic that I titled the emergence The emergence.
• 25:58
  I want to show you the seasons that birth greatness that a man
• 26:03
  can go through several seasons in his lifetime, but there are a
• 26:07
  few seasons if you miss it will take the mercy of God for you to
• 26:11
  ever be great in life. And I'm praying that God will
• 26:14
  open our eyes in Jesus name. 2 Scriptures very quickly #1 Luke
• 26:22
  chapter 1 from verse 79 and 80 Luke chapter 1 from verse 79 and
• 26:31
  80, speaking about John, to give light to them that sit in
• 26:35
  darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide our feet to
• 26:40
  the way of peace. Verse 80 the Bible says, and the
• 26:44
  child grew. John now and walk strong.
• 26:49
  Take note, the child grew and what's strong in spirit, and he
• 26:55
  was in the desert or the wilderness till the day of his
• 26:59
  showing onto Israel. Let's see what Amplifier says.
• 27:06
  Let's see what Amplifier says. And the little boy grew and
• 27:08
  became strong in spirit, and he was in the desert, the
• 27:12
  wilderness until the day of his appearing.
• 27:16
  Watch this the commencement of his public ministry.
• 27:20
  May the Lord grant us understanding in Jesus name.
• 27:25
  Romans chapter 15 and verse 4. It's a popular scripture in this
• 27:29
  house. The Bible says for whatsoever
• 27:31
  things were written at four time.
• 27:35
  It says that these things were written for our learning so that
• 27:38
  we through patience and the comfort of scripture might find
• 27:42
  hope. Explain for you what this means,
• 27:45
  that the reason why the Bible had to be documented.
• 27:50
  And remember we took a theological series that we had
• 27:53
  to pause on the way examining the foundational pillars of the
• 27:57
  Christian faith. And one of it is the supremacy
• 28:00
  of the Word of God. And in discussing that, we
• 28:04
  considered the fact that the Bible is the richest printed
• 28:09
  capture of the speakings of God and the platform that reveals
• 28:15
  God to anyone, any believer at all.
• 28:17
  The Bible contains the richest capture of the revelation of God
• 28:22
  to man. Are we together now?
• 28:25
  And so this is very important because there is a reason why a
• 28:28
  lot of stories are written in the Bible.
• 28:31
  When you pick the Bible, you can almost call it a story book.
• 28:34
  And you're not necessarily wrong.
• 28:36
  Like, you know, the Bible contains a lot of stories
• 28:40
  historically captured, archaeologically captured.
• 28:45
  And for a long time I wondered why the Bible was full of
• 28:48
  stories. And quite honestly, some of
• 28:50
  those stories were not connected to salvation at all.
• 28:54
  And so in my thinking, I just thought that if those stories
• 28:57
  went away, it would leave us with little walk or burden as
• 29:02
  far as learning what translates to the knowledge of God directly
• 29:06
  instead of several stories. This man begats this man, this
• 29:09
  man begats this man. And you are wondering, so to
• 29:11
  what end is all of this? There are stories that I
• 29:15
  personally consider useless as far as their connection to the
• 29:18
  plan of God is concerned. But the reason is because I, I,
• 29:22
  as I would grow in the knowledge of God, I got to find out that
• 29:27
  all of those stories were left in the Bible, whether directly
• 29:30
  connected to the revelation of Jesus and his salvation plan or
• 29:34
  not. Because there is a prophetic
• 29:37
  layer to the learning of Scripture.
• 29:39
  Remember I taught you that we learn Scripture at 3 layers #1
• 29:43
  is the historic or archaeological layer #2 there is
• 29:47
  the doctrinal or contextual layer.
• 29:50
  So you learn the Bible doctrinally, you learn the Bible
• 29:53
  contextually, and then there is a prophetic layer, meaning you
• 29:57
  can draw forth mysteries from a seeming uncorrelated scripture,
• 30:02
  a scripture that means some, nothing else.
• 30:05
  But the Holy Ghost can quicken light to a verse or a portion of
• 30:09
  that scripture and it can be light to you.
• 30:12
  It is not a doctrine, but it can become lights to you.
• 30:15
  That leads to breakthrough. Are we together?
• 30:18
  And so some of these stories are left in the Bible for such a
• 30:21
  reason, so that when you are exploring the prophetic
• 30:25
  dimension of the Scripture, the Holy Spirit will be at liberty
• 30:30
  to use an array of stories, an array of scriptures, and quicken
• 30:35
  them. Now I, I understand this very
• 30:38
  well because I have seen it as a vision.
• 30:42
  Let me share with you the vision again for those of you who have
• 30:45
  not heard. One time I was caught up in the
• 30:47
  Spirit and I saw what looked like an ancient gate.
• 30:52
  And the ancient gate had it was made-up of small doors, boxes
• 30:57
  like the ancient post office boxes the way they are.
• 31:00
  And upon each one of them scripture was written.
• 31:03
  There was a scripture written on every one of them and they were
• 31:07
  opening and closing and every time they opened light came
• 31:11
  forth. And I wondered why this vision
• 31:13
  and what it was about. And then the Lord was showing me
• 31:16
  that upon every one of those scripture there is light,
• 31:20
  meaning revelation and the grace that makes that scripture come
• 31:23
  alive. So every time you catch a
• 31:26
  revelation, truly the light component that gives you the
• 31:30
  ability to demonstrate is reality is also released.
• 31:34
  If you claim you understand the scripture and the wisdom and the
• 31:38
  grace connected to that scripture is not seen in your
• 31:41
  life, then you've not really understood the scripture.
• 31:44
  Hallelujah. So I just digress to explain
• 31:48
  that scripture that the things that are written are four time,
• 31:52
  whether they're directly connected to the revelation of
• 31:56
  Jesus and his plan of salvation or otherwise.
• 32:00
  They were written for our learning, meaning that there is
• 32:04
  something in every scripture for our learning so that we through
• 32:10
  patience and comfort of that scripture we might find hope.
• 32:15
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord, the emergence.
• 32:19
  I want to show you how seasons birth glory.
• 32:23
  Now there is a lot of lessons that can be learned from
• 32:28
  history, and this is not just from a spiritual standpoint.
• 32:33
  Even when you deal with sociology and you deal with
• 32:37
  nation building, for instance, you find out that a nation that
• 32:41
  forgets its history will seldom become a great nation because
• 32:45
  usually the secret to the future is in the past.
• 32:48
  Are we together now? And this is how it is with us
• 32:53
  spiritually. We can study the path that the
• 32:58
  Patriots took to emerge and become great.
• 33:02
  We can study the paths that our fathers, those who are alive
• 33:07
  now, that there is a path. And, and remember, let me tell
• 33:11
  you that there are two ways to becoming transformed in the
• 33:15
  Kingdom. Do not forget this.
• 33:17
  Sometimes I recap on these things because I want you to
• 33:19
  become a stronghold in your mind.
• 33:22
  There are two ways the believer is transformed #1 looking onto
• 33:27
  Jesus as you behold him through His word.
• 33:32
  The Bible says we are changed into the same image from glory
• 33:36
  to glory, so that's the first way.
• 33:38
  Second Corinthians 318 is the first way we become transformed
• 33:42
  by directly looking onto Jesus #2 the second way we look onto
• 33:48
  Jesus is founding. The second way we are
• 33:51
  transformed is found in Hebrews 6 and verse 12 to be followers
• 33:56
  of them, the power of role models so we can look onto men
• 34:02
  who are looking onto Jesus. This is how we are transformed
• 34:05
  #1 we look onto Jesus directly through His Word and by the
• 34:10
  agency of the Spirit, and then #2 we look onto men who have
• 34:15
  become worthy models, who by reason of their alignments,
• 34:19
  their sacrifices, the businesses they have done with God in the
• 34:23
  secret place, have been able to embody certain spiritual
• 34:27
  possibilities. And so the Bible says, we can
• 34:30
  look onto those men whilst they are looking onto Jesus, and we
• 34:34
  can draw wisdom. We can follow the footprints
• 34:37
  they left behind. And it helps us in our imagines.
• 34:42
  Hallelujah. One more thing that I want to
• 34:45
  share with us, if you recall, and it's a subtle revelation,
• 34:49
  but I want to remind us again that every character in the
• 34:53
  Bible, please listen. Every character in the Bible,
• 34:57
  Character meaning the people whose names were captured in the
• 35:00
  Bible, particularly those who played any significant role at
• 35:04
  all, from Abraham to Isaac, to Jacob, to Gideon, to Esther to
• 35:09
  Pharaoh, to Herod, those who birthed the program of God
• 35:14
  directly. I told you that every of such
• 35:16
  characters in the Bible, they were not just personalities that
• 35:20
  existed, but through their lifetime, they became spiritual
• 35:25
  pathways that can be studied and followed.
• 35:28
  And it will produce a certain kind of believer.
• 35:31
  Don't forget this. So Abraham for instance.
• 35:36
  There was a man called Abraham in the Bible.
• 35:38
  He lived his life and fulfilled the purposes of God as committed
• 35:42
  to him. But there is Abraham as a
• 35:45
  spiritual pathway that if followed will produce a certain
• 35:50
  kind of believer. There is Esther as a young lady
• 35:54
  who later became queen and helped to preserve God's people
• 35:58
  and frontier his program. But there is Esther as a
• 36:01
  spiritual pathway that if followed, will produce a certain
• 36:06
  kind of witness. Are we learning now?
• 36:09
  There is Daniel, there is Joseph.
• 36:13
  So when you study Daniel, for instance, you study an A eunuch.
• 36:17
  Once Upon a time there was a eunuch called Daniel who live
• 36:21
  through the dispensation of four to seven kings.
• 36:24
  And but there is Daniel as a spiritual pathway that produces
• 36:29
  a certain kind of weakness. The reason why this is important
• 36:33
  is because the Holy Ghost will never train you to become
• 36:37
  anything outside of the characters that are represented
• 36:41
  in Scripture, no matter the kind of vessel he wants to make out
• 36:46
  of you. There is a parallel of that kind
• 36:49
  of training. It is the reason why God kept
• 36:52
  you there. So if God wants you to be a
• 36:54
  nation builder, there is a character in the Bible you must
• 36:58
  look like as an attestation that it is God that is training you.
• 37:02
  You will find a combination of wisdom, government and the
• 37:05
  prophetic that is Daniel there. You will find a combination of
• 37:09
  wisdom and you know, intelligence.
• 37:13
  That is Joseph there. If God wants to empower you to
• 37:18
  be able to influence decisions in high places, you are a lady.
• 37:23
  That is Esther, there are we together you come from a family
• 37:26
  where everything has failed and God wants to give you another
• 37:30
  chance with life. That is Ruth right there are we
• 37:33
  together. You will always one of the ways
• 37:36
  you verify that it is the Spirit of God training you is that
• 37:40
  eventually you must find a parallel, a reflection of your
• 37:45
  training in Scripture. Who is learning now This is one
• 37:48
  of the ways you judge spirits. So by the time you find out that
• 37:53
  a spirit or an information is building you and you are
• 37:57
  becoming something whose parallel you cannot find in
• 38:00
  Scripture. Don't believe you are a unique
• 38:03
  kind of believer. You have been deceived already
• 38:06
  because the Bible says the things that are written at four
• 38:08
  times. It is supposed to be a system of
• 38:10
  check and balance. So if you say God has called me
• 38:13
  into an apostle ministry. There are there were many
• 38:16
  apostles in the Bible. No matter how unique you are, I
• 38:20
  should be able to find Paul there, or Philip, or I mean
• 38:26
  Peter there, or James. If I cannot find them, at least
• 38:30
  I should find Jesus. He was also an apostle.
• 38:33
  If I don't find Jesus or anyone who followed Jesus, I don't
• 38:36
  trust what trained you and I don't trust what you are
• 38:38
  becoming. No matter how rare your call is,
• 38:44
  no matter how rare your training is, no matter how unique your
• 38:48
  assignment is, I want you to know that there is a
• 38:51
  verification system in Scripture.
• 38:54
  There must have been a character in the Bible already.
• 38:58
  Are we together? If at all we cannot find any
• 39:01
  human character, then we can find Jesus Himself who was an
• 39:06
  aggregate of all these characters.
• 39:10
  Apostle God is calling me to be an exceptional businessman and
• 39:14
  there is something I need to do for the Kingdom that has not
• 39:18
  been done before. I agree with you, but read your
• 39:21
  Bible very well and keep working with the Holy Spirit.
• 39:24
  One day you will stumble across a character that is a reflection
• 39:28
  of what God is trying to produce.
• 39:30
  Now there are times where you will see a hybrid, meaning you
• 39:34
  will look through one person and find Daniel and find another
• 39:38
  person, but you must find it in Scripture.
• 39:42
  Hallelujah. It is one way to know that the
• 39:44
  Holy Spirit is an active part of your training.
• 39:49
  When the devil is training you or a spirit is deceiving you,
• 39:54
  you will find out that you are evolving.
• 39:55
  You are becoming something, maybe even something spiritual,
• 40:00
  someone spiritual, but you cannot find the testimony of
• 40:04
  your becoming in Scripture. So if you say I am a prophet,
• 40:08
  there were a number of prophets in the Bible.
• 40:11
  An array of the diversity of the prophetic workings of the
• 40:15
  Spirit. You must find something that
• 40:17
  looks like the way authentic prophetic ministry works in the
• 40:21
  Bible. Anna the prophetess was a
• 40:23
  prophet. So if you say I'm a quiet one,
• 40:25
  my own, I don't prophecy it's true.
• 40:27
  But we have to verify Anna too did not prophecy around, she was
• 40:30
  a prophetess. So if you are not prophesying
• 40:33
  around the nations, show me you're a prophet by the depth of
• 40:36
  your intercessory ministry. And if we cannot find these
• 40:40
  things, we have a right to judge spirits and say something is
• 40:44
  wrong with what you are. Is somebody learning already?
• 40:47
  Because sometimes and especially because we live in a very
• 40:51
  complicated age where of course credited to the Holy Spirit and
• 40:57
  sometimes we've abused the ministry of the Holy Spirit
• 41:00
  because most people will say leave me.
• 41:02
  It's only God that knows what I'm becoming.
• 41:04
  Don't don't only God, it's me and God.
• 41:07
  And while they mean well, sometimes the devil isolates
• 41:11
  them to deceive them. You see all kinds of pseudo
• 41:15
  Christian expressions. And when you are trying to call
• 41:18
  them, sometimes lovingly to order to say, young man, I think
• 41:21
  something is wrong with what you are becoming.
• 41:23
  You know, let me tell you this. If you have lived for a while,
• 41:26
  at least 10 to 20 years in the faith, you should have known or
• 41:31
  met people that reflect what I'm trying to teach.
• 41:35
  Those days we used to have people who would not listen.
• 41:38
  They would decide to approach the fate life in a certain way
• 41:41
  and not know when they would have encountered familiar
• 41:44
  spirits. Some of them ended up in the
• 41:45
  hospital. They were supposedly praying in
• 41:48
  tongues, but they ended in the hospital.
• 41:50
  The Holy Ghost cannot produce a thing like that.
• 41:53
  So the devil hijacked their passion.
• 41:56
  And because they did not have spiritual intelligence nor a
• 41:59
  structured system to check balance their growth, they
• 42:03
  claimed they were looking onto Jesus.
• 42:04
  But they did not look onto role models who were looking onto
• 42:07
  Jesus because God will always use men.
• 42:10
  He's not God that holds the rod. Are we together?
• 42:13
  He gives the rod to Moses. It is His rod, but he's a man
• 42:17
  that holds the rod and uses it to guide so that you walk well.
• 42:22
  Praise the name of the Lord. Till today, there are people who
• 42:28
  are being deceived and they honestly believe from the depth
• 42:32
  of their hearts that they are following God.
• 42:35
  They honestly believe from the depth of their hearts that the
• 42:38
  visions that they're seeing is of God.
• 42:40
  They honestly believe that the instructions that were given to
• 42:45
  them. I remember there was a time a
• 42:47
  young boy, 1 gentleman, and I'm not saying this to mock him or
• 42:52
  I'm just explaining that because of the context of our discussion
• 42:56
  tonight. I hope you're learning already.
• 42:59
  I was praying for people and this young boy joins the queue
• 43:01
  was during election, very confident young boy and he stood
• 43:06
  in front of me with a poster of himself as president.
• 43:10
  I think somebody went to the printed for him.
• 43:13
  He came with confidence, the protocol.
• 43:16
  They were watching. I was watching with shock.
• 43:18
  Now it's not the first time I'm seeing this kind of thing.
• 43:20
  And the gentleman stood in front of me and audaciously he said,
• 43:23
  look, he also let he came with a revelation.
• 43:26
  He had an encounter with God and God told him the destiny of
• 43:29
  Nigeria was in his hands and he's ready to do what God wants
• 43:33
  him to do. And I was wondering how do I
• 43:35
  start explaining to this boy? Now, you see, it may truly be
• 43:40
  that it is in his destiny, but because he's not understood the
• 43:44
  structure of how believers emerge.
• 43:46
  Follow carefully. I'm leading you somewhere with
• 43:48
  this teaching. This gentleman took that vision
• 43:51
  not knowing it may be a lie or it may be the truth without a
• 43:55
  correct knowledge of the timing and the process that leads to
• 43:58
  it. And I was trying to talk to him
• 44:01
  in love. You could see, you know, looking
• 44:03
  at me and say, look, you're a man of God.
• 44:05
  You are some old prophet somewhere.
• 44:06
  You guys are the ones that distract young people like I
• 44:09
  left him in peace. I said May God bless you.
• 44:11
  Go, you will learn. There are many ways to learn
• 44:14
  Hallelujah. Many years ago, then when Zarya
• 44:21
  after a serious service impartation, the move of God.
• 44:24
  I was counseling people and a gentleman stands before me with
• 44:28
  three or four other people near him.
• 44:31
  And the guy stood audaciously and I said, my friend, how can I
• 44:35
  help you? And he spoke.
• 44:36
  He said, well, the guy believed with all his heart that he was
• 44:39
  Jesus Christ. I mean, what I'm saying, no
• 44:42
  exaggeration. I'm not talking of Jesus like
• 44:45
  vine and branch. He believed he was the savior of
• 44:49
  Jesus Christ. And then how he was able to
• 44:52
  convince those guys to work with him.
• 44:55
  So they were like, I mean, what I'm saying now, don't laugh.
• 44:58
  I'm just trying to show you what happens when you do not
• 45:00
  understand the patterns of the Kingdom.
• 45:04
  So I'm watching this guy with, with, with, with passion and
• 45:07
  sympathy and he's talking to me. One of those guys, I don't know
• 45:11
  who was John, I don't know who was who.
• 45:12
  And they now listen, They, they believed with all their heart by
• 45:17
  divine revelation that I was John the Baptist who would
• 45:21
  announce Jesus. They came from Kano State.
• 45:26
  You ask some of the leaders, they are aware of the story.
• 45:30
  It's not a it's not a mixed story at all.
• 45:33
  There was nothing you want, you will tell this young man that
• 45:37
  will make him believe how he was able to convince you see, let me
• 45:40
  tell you something. Influence is powerful.
• 45:42
  Oh, you can see something that you think is absolutely stupid,
• 45:46
  but you'll be surprised who believes in it.
• 45:50
  Those guys travel from Kano to Zarya, not as members.
• 45:54
  They were just waiting for Kanonia to finish and then they
• 45:57
  came. And so the guy I said, so why is
• 45:59
  he here? You know what John did to Jesus?
• 46:02
  That's what he came to be done that deep in to announce he was
• 46:07
  convinced. Now ladies and gentlemen, what
• 46:10
  if that guy is your pastor? Imagine the kind of member you
• 46:15
  are going to become. You will become that 5000, the
• 46:17
  5000 Jesus fed. Because people do not understand
• 46:31
  the patterns of the Kingdom, they cannot use the wisdom and
• 46:34
  intelligence of scripture to judge their experiences.
• 46:37
  The most deceiving of all spiritual experiences are
• 46:41
  prophetic experiences. Because of the nature of how the
• 46:44
  prophetic happens and because it is a real experience to you, you
• 46:49
  can't deny that you did not have the dream.
• 46:52
  But just because the dream came, or the Angel or the being
• 46:55
  appear. I remember a man I used to
• 46:57
  listen to many, many years ago. I, I honestly don't know what
• 47:01
  later happened to the man, but was a great man, great teacher
• 47:03
  of the world. And one time they were having a
• 47:07
  vigil, if I recall, I hope I'm right on that story.
• 47:10
  And they were having all kinds of revelations.
• 47:12
  It was a 30 days vigil, true story.
• 47:15
  And they started having angelic encounters.
• 47:18
  Some will have encounters where Jesus would appear to them.
• 47:20
  They would document it and call the other brethren.
• 47:23
  It was a little fellowship. They were praying for revival
• 47:26
  and one time it was said that one of the ladies had a supposed
• 47:31
  Jesus appeared to her and she was bowing down.
• 47:35
  She was doing all of this, but there was a check in her spirit.
• 47:39
  The beam came looking mild, looking very glorious and but
• 47:44
  the energy, the spirit, the presence was pungent and she
• 47:48
  kept looking. She was afraid.
• 47:50
  And if I recall the story very well, at a point she said, no,
• 47:53
  this cannot be Jesus, the presence around this being, even
• 47:57
  though it carries a semblance of Jesus.
• 48:00
  And as soon as she rebuked the Spirit, it turned into an ugly
• 48:03
  beast and disappeared. Now if that story is true,
• 48:07
  imagine how many times that being has appeared to many
• 48:09
  people. And they said, yes, Lord, and he
• 48:12
  gave them foolish instructions and they said, I will obey to
• 48:15
  the latter. And they did not verify because
• 48:18
  by that encounter they were not becoming a portrait of anyone in
• 48:23
  the Bible, nor Jesus himself. One of the ways you verify
• 48:27
  experiences, no matter how supernatural, is the degree to
• 48:31
  which that experience produces Christ in you.
• 48:35
  Is someone learning now? Yes.
• 48:38
  If you pray in tongues for 30 days and it does not produce
• 48:41
  Christ in you, either your mindset was not stayed on the
• 48:46
  Word to partner with those tongues who produce Christ in
• 48:49
  you or there was another Spirit manipulating you.
• 48:53
  Everything that comes from God produces and births the Christ
• 48:58
  in an individual who is learning now.
• 49:00
  Praise the name of the Lord. This is very important.
• 49:04
  Do not be afraid. I don't know why the Holy Spirit
• 49:07
  is moving me this area, but do not be afraid to judge spiritual
• 49:11
  experiences in your life, no matter how spectacular the Bible
• 49:16
  says. Even if an Angel comes to preach
• 49:18
  another gospel, that means there are spirits that come in the
• 49:21
  similitude of certain angels. Are we together?
• 49:24
  Satan will not always come as a being with a horn to destroy
• 49:28
  you. He can come as a very nice
• 49:30
  spirit again. There used to be story, a story
• 49:34
  of a young guy. He's gone to be with the Lord
• 49:36
  now. I used to know him many years
• 49:38
  ago when he met me. He met me one time, this was far
• 49:42
  back secondary school, and he met me and told me that there
• 49:46
  was a creature, a being, a supposed woman like an Angel,
• 49:50
  but a feminine Angel that used to come to him. 4:00 PM on the
• 49:54
  dots. True story.
• 49:55
  Every evening they said they would sing together and nothing
• 50:00
  hurtful. Sometimes she will carry him to
• 50:02
  places. She just holds his hand and he's
• 50:04
  out of his body. They go to certain places
• 50:07
  around. She would tell him to be a good
• 50:09
  person and all of that. And even though I did not know,
• 50:12
  I was a very young believer then, but I knew something was
• 50:16
  wrong because I did not find that kind of experience in the
• 50:19
  Bible. Is someone learning now?
• 50:21
  So as spectacular as it is, Satan will not appear today and
• 50:26
  tell you go and kill, go and destroy.
• 50:27
  No, he, he knows how fragile the human spirit is.
• 50:31
  So he will guide you in the path that looks like righteousness
• 50:34
  for a while. So that you are convinced enough
• 50:37
  that this is Satan. Then he now translates.
• 50:42
  So no matter how supernatural your experience is, it must come
• 50:46
  under the radar of the wisdom and the vetting process of the
• 50:50
  world. Are we together?
• 50:51
  And if you find out that it is inconsistent with the character,
• 50:56
  like you'll be learning of how God builds men, the character of
• 51:00
  how believers emerge. You have a right to dump it and
• 51:04
  you are not sinning against God. I've shared with you here how
• 51:09
  many times I've felt promptings in my spirit supposedly to come
• 51:13
  to Abuja. But thank God for the power of
• 51:15
  prayer and the power of God's word and some of those things He
• 51:19
  was already in our destiny. But sometimes the vision can be
• 51:24
  correct, but the timing can be wrong.
• 51:27
  A wrong timing can make a correct prophecy to still fail.
• 51:32
  So for someone, God can show you your future and because you see
• 51:36
  the realm of the Spirit does not give timing to things easily
• 51:40
  like that. Sometimes because of the way the
• 51:42
  realm of the spirit or the way visions happen, I can see my 20
• 51:46
  years now and it will look like tomorrow because in the realm of
• 51:49
  the spirit time is compressed. I can come back with a 20 year
• 51:54
  vision and want to do it tomorrow because of the weight
• 51:58
  of the impact it had on me. But when you understand the
• 52:01
  structure of how believers emerge, the Holy Ghost can help
• 52:05
  you to allot a timing to that vision so that you know that
• 52:08
  every vision is for an appointed time.
• 52:11
  There are things I'm doing today that I saw more than 15 years.
• 52:16
  If I tried doing them at that point, I would have failed and
• 52:19
  it will be I would. I can give you the evidence of
• 52:23
  the dream. I have them in my books, but the
• 52:27
  timing, but the timing, timing is as powerful as the speakings
• 52:33
  of God. Is someone learning?
• 52:36
  Praise the name of the Lord. Now the believer life is divided
• 52:41
  into seasons like I have taught you, and our lives are divided
• 52:46
  into seasons. When you read Ecclesiastes
• 52:50
  chapter 3, I believe it begins to talk about a time and a
• 52:53
  season. The Bible says to everything
• 52:56
  there is a season. Ladies and gentlemen say there
• 52:58
  is a season one more time. It says to every what thing?
• 53:04
  To everything there is a season and a time, to every purpose.
• 53:10
  Once it is under heaven, knowing the will of God, once it is
• 53:15
  under heaven, knowing your prophetic destiny is not enough.
• 53:19
  You must understand seasons and timings.
• 53:25
  I know people who have failed today.
• 53:27
  I doubt that they missed it in the area of a prophetic
• 53:31
  description of their purpose. I think they got that well, but
• 53:35
  they got two things wrong. 1 timing, 2 strategy.
• 53:40
  They did not take the time to understand the way a believer
• 53:44
  evolves until greatness or the glory of God is finally revealed
• 53:49
  in that individual. Now let's go back to Luke 180
• 53:52
  and you will understand what that Scripture said.
• 53:54
  And I begin to build on a few things.
• 53:56
  Now. The Bible says I'm the child.
• 53:58
  This child we're talking about is John the Baptist, the
• 54:01
  prophet. The Bible says the first thing
• 54:03
  that happened was that the child grieved.
• 54:06
  Then he worked strong in spirit, and in spite of the fact that he
• 54:11
  had grown, in spite of the fact that he had, he was strong in
• 54:16
  spirit. The Bible says He remained in
• 54:19
  the wilderness, the place of confinement, the place of
• 54:22
  loneliness, the place where he was alone, The Bible says, until
• 54:27
  the day of his appearing, or until the day of his showing
• 54:31
  forth unto Israel, amplified to say, until the day, the
• 54:35
  commencement of his public ministry.
• 54:39
  Hallelujah. So the Bible is full of men and
• 54:43
  women whose entire lives and faith journey was captured in
• 54:50
  Scripture. God seems to have isolated a few
• 54:55
  people in the Bible and literally open up their life
• 54:59
  from childhood until they transited.
• 55:01
  Now for some persons, the Bible just captured moments.
• 55:05
  Watch this. Please look at me.
• 55:06
  Let me have your attention before you write.
• 55:09
  There are certain people in the Bible whose story was in only 1
• 55:13
  chapter. There was just one information
• 55:16
  about their lives, and that was sufficient for learning.
• 55:20
  Are we together? For instance, the Bible does not
• 55:22
  give us any information about Elijah's growing up days.
• 55:26
  When you read the story of Elijah, two things were noted #1
• 55:31
  Elijah, the Tishbite, that he came as a prophet judging the
• 55:35
  prophets of Baal. Are we together?
• 55:36
  And eventually the Bible tells us the end of his life, that a
• 55:40
  chariot came and carried him, and that's the end of it.
• 55:43
  But there were certain people, they were also prophets, but the
• 55:47
  Bible had to backdate their lives.
• 55:49
  For instance, Jeremiah in chapter 1, the Bible tells us
• 55:53
  his discussion with God as a child.
• 55:55
  For instance, Samson. The Bible even tells us what
• 55:58
  happened before he was born, for instance, somewhere.
• 56:02
  Why did the Bible have to meticulously tell us the story
• 56:06
  around his birth? Was that really necessary
• 56:09
  because of the kind of prophet he was and the role that he
• 56:13
  played in anointing the kings and ultimately frontiering God's
• 56:18
  program? A man in the Bible called Jabez.
• 56:23
  It was just one or two portions of Scripture, the Bible says,
• 56:26
  and Jabez was more honorable than his brethren.
• 56:29
  And then the Bible backtracks and tells us what happened, that
• 56:33
  the mom bore him in sorrow and named him Jabez.
• 56:35
  And he prayed a prayer, and God heard him.
• 56:38
  That was the end of it. But when you read other people
• 56:42
  like David, the Bible tells us their story.
• 56:46
  It was like a major portion of the Bible captured everything.
• 56:51
  Their flaws, their lives, their decisions.
• 56:54
  It was as if the Bible zoomed everything about them.
• 56:57
  You find out with David. You also find out with Solomon.
• 57:01
  I don't know why the Bible had to give us the story of
• 57:04
  Bathsheba and all that happened with David.
• 57:06
  I thought that was unnecessary but it was still captured in the
• 57:09
  Bible. How about Jesus?
• 57:12
  For Jesus it was even a serious matter because Jesus was
• 57:15
  discussed across 4 gospels. Matthew that was not enough.
• 57:20
  There was something Luke saw that Matthew did not see.
• 57:23
  There was something Mark saw that Luke did not see.
• 57:26
  There was something John saw that Mark that Luke did not see.
• 57:29
  Are we together now? And the Bible took our time as
• 57:32
  CV was not enough. Then you find some other
• 57:36
  revelations scattered in Scripture.
• 57:38
  Paul came with another dimension again of Jesus.
• 57:43
  Are we together now? And then when we get to
• 57:45
  Revelation, John continued again because he now saw the glorified
• 57:50
  Christ and he began to review some other things again.
• 57:53
  So I'm telling you that the Bible recorded all of these
• 57:57
  things because captured within them were a description of how
• 58:01
  believers emerge. And of all these seasons.
• 58:05
  I'm going to be giving you 3 tonight.
• 58:07
  If you miss these seasons in your life, you will abort
• 58:10
  destiny. No matter how undesigning you
• 58:16
  are, no matter how careless you are with your life, you must
• 58:21
  pray and say, Lord, when I get to these seasons, open my eyes
• 58:24
  to no. The seasons look deceitfully
• 58:27
  ordinary, but you wouldn't know when you have entered A Kairos
• 58:30
  season. There are many people who have
• 58:34
  missed these seasons and that's the reason why the glory of God
• 58:39
  and the grace of God cannot imagine their lives.
• 58:42
  Pray in the Spirit in one minute.
• 58:49
  Pray in the Spirit in one minute because I want to show you a
• 58:52
  road map right now in prophecy. Is someone praying?
• 59:01
  Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy.
• 59:08
  Are you Lord Holy, Holy, holy, holy, holy holy?
• 59:16
  Holy are you Lord? Holy, holy, holy, Holy, holy
• 59:23
  holy. Are you Lord Holy?
• 59:25
  Holy, Holy, holy. Tonight we're going to interpret
• 59:33
  the writings on the wall. For some of you, there has been
• 59:36
  a writing on the wall of your destiny and not understanding
• 59:40
  how to interpret it, you can be stuck forever and it will look
• 59:46
  like God is not faithful in your life.
• 59:48
  I want to show you how Season's birth, greatness, how to partner
• 59:51
  with seasons and emerge as an eagle.
• 59:52
  Holy holy. Holy, holy, holy, holy.
• 59:53
  Holy, holy, holy, holy. Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy,
• 59:55
  Holy, Holy, Holy holy. Holy.
• 59:56
  Holy, holy, holy, Holy, holy holy.
• 59:57
  Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy.
• 59:57
  Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, holy. Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy,
• 1:00:01
  holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy,
• 1:00:02
  holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy,
• 1:00:06
  holy, holy, holy, holy, holy. Holy, holy, holy, Holy, holy
• 1:00:09
  holy. Holy, holy, holy, holy.
• 1:00:11
  Holy the SO the things that are written are four time.
• 1:00:14
  They are written for our learning.
• 1:00:16
  They are not just occupying space in the Bible.
• 1:00:19
  There they are prophetic Rd. maps leading you to strategic
• 1:00:24
  seasons. I believe that an average any
• 1:00:29
  human being who lives between one years to 80 would have gone
• 1:00:33
  through at least 10 to 12 seasons in their lives.
• 1:00:38
  And there are different ways of interpreting seasons.
• 1:00:42
  One of them I have taught you in the message, the Law of Seasons.
• 1:00:46
  We took a prophetic X-ray of Pharaoh's dream and the
• 1:00:51
  interpretation of Joseph to help us understand that broadly
• 1:00:55
  speaking, there are two seasons, the seven years of plenty.
• 1:01:00
  Remember his dream and the seven years of famine that in every
• 1:01:06
  man's life, this season's alternate.
• 1:01:09
  And if you recall, this is not what I'm teaching, but I just
• 1:01:12
  want to show you one angle to looking at seasons that every
• 1:01:17
  time you are in a season of abundance, abundance comes with
• 1:01:21
  a letter from the season of famine.
• 1:01:24
  I am coming. If you do not read that letter
• 1:01:27
  and you only enjoy the corn, you will be hungry when it comes.
• 1:01:31
  I told you, rainy season always comes with a letter from dry
• 1:01:34
  season. I'm coming and dry season always
• 1:01:38
  comes with a letter from rainy season.
• 1:01:40
  Be hopeful I am coming to. So when seasons are before you
• 1:01:46
  by this description that I'm giving you don't only enjoy the
• 1:01:50
  season, you read the letters there.
• 1:01:52
  For instance, the day you get a job, your retirement also wrote
• 1:01:56
  a letter for you. There are two letters you
• 1:01:58
  received, it's only that you read 1.
• 1:02:01
  You read your letter of employment and forgot to read
• 1:02:04
  your letter of retirement. The letter of retirement will
• 1:02:07
  come after 3035 years. But he was there but because you
• 1:02:12
  were not deciding to see it. So while you were wasting money
• 1:02:15
  during your years of plenty, the letter that God sent that came
• 1:02:20
  the same time the employment letter came was crying before
• 1:02:23
  you. There will always be 7 fat cows
• 1:02:28
  and seven lead ones, and the mystery of seasons from this
• 1:02:33
  angle is that the lean cows can eat the fat cows, they can eat
• 1:02:39
  fat cows, Years can eat years. But that's not the angle I'm
• 1:02:45
  looking at tonight. Every man's life is divided into
• 1:02:50
  seasons according to Ecclesiastes 3 and verse one.
• 1:02:56
  Let's read it so that I can now begin to build number one to
• 1:03:00
  everything. There is a season and a time for
• 1:03:03
  every purpose under heaven. Verse 2.
• 1:03:08
  A time to be born, a time to die.
• 1:03:13
  If you can just count with me in your mind how many times the
• 1:03:18
  word time is mentioned from here.
• 1:03:20
  A time to be born. A time to die.
• 1:03:24
  A time to plant. A time to pluck up that which is
• 1:03:28
  planted. Verse 3A.
• 1:03:29
  Time to kill. A time to heal.
• 1:03:33
  A time to break down and a time to build up.
• 1:03:37
  A time to weep and a time to laugh.
• 1:03:40
  A time to mourn and a time to dance.
• 1:03:43
  A time to castaway stones and a time to gather stones together.
• 1:03:48
  A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing.
• 1:03:52
  We can even stop there. OK, let's look at six and then
• 1:03:54
  we'll stop there. A time to get and a time to
• 1:03:57
  lose. A time to keep and a time to
• 1:03:59
  castaway. Now look at how many times every
• 1:04:02
  one of those times represents seasons.
• 1:04:05
  And all of those seasons have effects.
• 1:04:07
  Because if you are in the time to plant and you don't know, you
• 1:04:10
  wouldn't plant. If you are in the time to reap
• 1:04:13
  and you don't know, you wouldn't reap.
• 1:04:14
  If you are in a time for war and you don't know how to put your
• 1:04:17
  regalia to fight, are we together?
• 1:04:19
  If you are in a time to run and you are still carrying warfare
• 1:04:22
  regalia, it will not become an instrument of safety to become a
• 1:04:26
  burden to you. Because when you are an athlete,
• 1:04:28
  you want to be as light as possible, but when you are a
• 1:04:31
  warrior, you want to have all of your Armory because safety and
• 1:04:36
  defence is your priority. Is someone learning now?
• 1:04:40
  Most believers do not know their time.
• 1:04:42
  I talk to you here in Koinonia that there are two reasons why
• 1:04:45
  Jesus cried according to scripture.
• 1:04:47
  Number one was John Chapter 11 and verse 35.
• 1:04:50
  He wept when he was at the tomb of Lazarus and the Bible says oh
• 1:04:56
  how he loved him. They commended the fact that he
• 1:04:59
  loved him sincerely. The second time Jesus cried
• 1:05:03
  according to Luke's synoptic account looks after what now
• 1:05:05
  help me find 19 or whatever I can remember where he wept over
• 1:05:09
  Jerusalem. He said if you are known even in
• 1:05:12
  this your time, the things that pertain unto your peace, he
• 1:05:16
  says, but now they are heed from you and the Bible says because
• 1:05:20
  they did not know their time of visitation.
• 1:05:24
  Maybe that should be 4344 when you back down.
• 1:05:30
  Yes, they did not know. Verse 44 their time of
• 1:05:35
  visitation. Hallelujah.
• 1:05:38
  The first major season in the life of every believer on your
• 1:05:44
  journey to greatness. When God wants to use seasons to
• 1:05:48
  birth glory in the life of a man.
• 1:05:51
  There are three major seasons. The first season, it's a
• 1:05:55
  prophetic season. It's called the season of
• 1:05:58
  discovery and Preparation. Please write that down.
• 1:06:03
  The season of discovery and preparation.
• 1:06:11
  The man who misses this season has already missed a major part
• 1:06:16
  of your journey to Bethen, the glory of God.
• 1:06:20
  If you do not discern seasons, you will waste them.
• 1:06:24
  If you do not discern seasons, you will waste them.
• 1:06:28
  If you cannot discern seasons, they will not profit you.
• 1:06:32
  Let me take that again. If you do not discern seasons,
• 1:06:35
  you will waste them. Great seasons will come and
• 1:06:39
  pass, and you will not see them. And if you cannot discern
• 1:06:42
  seasons, then the seasons will not profit you.
• 1:06:46
  The season of discovery and preparation.
• 1:06:49
  Let's talk about this season. What does this season capture?
• 1:06:53
  This. It's a season where God Himself,
• 1:06:56
  by His word, by His Spirit, and through the instrument of men,
• 1:07:01
  will begin to lead you, if you allow Him, through the paths
• 1:07:05
  that bring you to a point of discovery and preparation for
• 1:07:11
  the destiny, the prophetic destiny that He has in store for
• 1:07:14
  you. At this point, He will begin to
• 1:07:17
  bring you revelations. If you are not born again and
• 1:07:22
  you get into these seasons, whether you are safe or not, you
• 1:07:25
  will start having unusual encounters.
• 1:07:27
  It will be the nudging of the Spirit.
• 1:07:29
  He would not have to wait for a Sunday service.
• 1:07:31
  Now you can numb that nudging. God is trying to help you
• 1:07:35
  maximize that season because He's telling you that all men
• 1:07:39
  have these seasons, whether you are an idol worshiper.
• 1:07:43
  Can I tell you this? The Bible says no one is without
• 1:07:45
  excuse. There is nobody in his lifetime
• 1:07:50
  who will not receive this nudging.
• 1:07:51
  God gives everybody a chance to be great.
• 1:07:54
  It is only that most people do not know.
• 1:07:57
  You get to a point where you are having unusual dreams, three
• 1:08:00
  months dreams every night, access to materials you are not
• 1:08:04
  interested in. This is all the Holy Ghost.
• 1:08:06
  He's trying to point you to the fact that you are in a chiral
• 1:08:09
  season and He can help you as I'm helping you now to define
• 1:08:14
  that season. The first season is not
• 1:08:16
  manifestation, it is discovery and preparation.
• 1:08:23
  There are three things you have to discover and prepare for in
• 1:08:26
  this season #1 the season of discovery and preparation
• 1:08:31
  demands that you discover. In fact, for number 1, you must
• 1:08:37
  discover God. Genesis chapter one verse one in
• 1:08:44
  the beginning God. So the beginning of your destiny
• 1:08:47
  will have to be God. Daniel 1132, the bee part.
• 1:08:52
  But the people that do know their God.
• 1:08:55
  This is the season where the Holy Ghost will begin to push
• 1:08:58
  you. Do you know now?
• 1:09:01
  It's not written in the Bible, but I will tell you from my
• 1:09:03
  experience, for most young people, that season starts from
• 1:09:08
  secondary school into campus days, tertiary institution that
• 1:09:13
  season. This season I'm mentioning it
• 1:09:15
  seems as if these seasons are broken into 10 year circles, 10
• 1:09:21
  year circles. If you are fortunate.
• 1:09:24
  Do you know it is because of this season that sometimes
• 1:09:27
  parents who are discerning the Holy Ghost will begin to prompt
• 1:09:31
  them to send their children to certain schools?
• 1:09:34
  Because where that child goes to can add up to what that child
• 1:09:37
  becomes. It may not be the wealthiest
• 1:09:40
  school, but there is someone within that school that would
• 1:09:42
  teach that child something that his destiny needs.
• 1:09:46
  So the trouble starts from parents, with all due respect,
• 1:09:49
  if the parents are not discerning, they can carry that
• 1:09:52
  child because at that age, the child does not have the power to
• 1:09:55
  stand on his own. He's still under the influence
• 1:09:59
  of the parents almost totally. Are you seeing the role that
• 1:10:02
  parents can play in destroying the destiny of children?
• 1:10:06
  The fact that you have a child does not give you exclusive
• 1:10:09
  ability to do with that child anything you want to do.
• 1:10:13
  Until that child gets to an age of maturity and adulthood, you
• 1:10:17
  must midwife between God and that child, asking God for
• 1:10:21
  direction for that child's destiny per season, so that by
• 1:10:25
  the time that child becomes a man or a woman, you have helped
• 1:10:29
  them so find that journey they can now continue on their own.
• 1:10:34
  Is someone learning? Praise the name of the Lord.
• 1:10:38
  It is a great advantage to the destiny of your child if the
• 1:10:42
  parents are born again and enlightened, if they love the
• 1:10:46
  Lord. I'm telling you, Do you know you
• 1:10:49
  Imagine if El Khanna and Hannah were not serious with God, how
• 1:10:53
  did Samuel come? Was it not the intercessory
• 1:10:56
  ministry of his mother? Do you know that I truly believe
• 1:11:00
  with all my heart that if Hannah did not go to the temple to cry
• 1:11:04
  before the Lord, she began to sense, I hope you know, she was
• 1:11:09
  going there every day, every day.
• 1:11:12
  But a season came in the Spirit, and she went and prayed a
• 1:11:16
  certain kind of prayer. You think that prayer?
• 1:11:19
  She just prayed it just by herself.
• 1:11:21
  The Holy Ghost quickened it in her because it was time for
• 1:11:24
  Samuel to come. She had to make a bargain with
• 1:11:27
  God. And Samuel came as Eli
• 1:11:29
  prophesied. What if Eli was not there that
• 1:11:34
  day when she went for the prayer?
• 1:11:36
  Let me tell you the truth, when a season comes, mysterious
• 1:11:40
  alignments happen. Someone you have no business
• 1:11:44
  meeting but is connected in your destiny.
• 1:11:47
  God can delay the flight of that man to make sure he meets you.
• 1:11:51
  He may not understand. It is in hindsight you will see
• 1:11:54
  how things added themselves. There are people who would have
• 1:11:57
  missed their destiny by one day if only they discern if you.
• 1:12:02
  If you didn't take that journey that day, you never would have
• 1:12:05
  met the destiny helper to someone understanding this, I
• 1:12:10
  look at my life as I'm speaking to you, and I can tell you how I
• 1:12:14
  would have missed seasons at the edge of a knife sometimes.
• 1:12:20
  The Spirit of God. Look what happened to the
• 1:12:22
  utopian Enoch, the Lord told Philip.
• 1:12:26
  Get up quickly, go be on your way.
• 1:12:29
  Timing matters in destiny. The Season of Discovery.
• 1:12:37
  At this point the Holy Ghost begins to help you to discover
• 1:12:40
  God #2 this is a time where you discover yourself.
• 1:12:47
  You don't have all the time to discover yourself.
• 1:12:50
  There is a time allotted. There is a best before time when
• 1:12:54
  you must find out who you are, who you are in Christ as we
• 1:12:58
  teach our school of Ministry students.
• 1:13:00
  You know why? Because your destiny, the
• 1:13:03
  efficient manifestation of your destiny, has been calculated in
• 1:13:08
  time and if you lose time, it will take the mercy of God for
• 1:13:12
  you to manifest. Discover yourself.
• 1:13:17
  Can you imagine that Jeremiah at age, whatever age, as a child, a
• 1:13:21
  baby, he was already prophetic enough to be discussing with
• 1:13:25
  God? Jeremiah 1 and verse 5 once you
• 1:13:29
  when your mother's womb before thou came as forth I called you,
• 1:13:32
  I sanctified you, I ordained you to be a prophet to the nation's
• 1:13:36
  verse 6 the young boy now said, ah, I am a child, I can't speak.
• 1:13:43
  He thought that you will begin to prophecy immediately.
• 1:13:47
  As a young boy, God was revealing to him that he was a
• 1:13:50
  prophet and so he was afraid because he thought you would
• 1:13:53
  start prophesying immediately, not knowing that there's timing
• 1:13:57
  and there's seasons. Verse 7 God was revealing him to
• 1:14:01
  him from a prophetic standpoint. And the Lord says, say not I am
• 1:14:04
  a child, for thou shalt go to wherever I send you, and
• 1:14:08
  wherever I command you, you shall speak.
• 1:14:10
  Verse 8 He says do not be afraid of your faces.
• 1:14:13
  I am with you to deliver you. Verse 9, He says he put forth
• 1:14:18
  his hand, touched my mouth and said, I have put words in your
• 1:14:21
  mouth. Verse 10 And then he says, I
• 1:14:23
  have said thee over nations. Look what he's telling a child,
• 1:14:28
  a child I've set the over nations and over kingdoms to
• 1:14:32
  root out, to pull down, to destroy, to throw down, to
• 1:14:36
  build, to plant. Verse 11, he says, moreover, the
• 1:14:40
  Lord came and told him Jeremiah, what do you see is I see the rod
• 1:14:43
  of an almond tree. I like.
• 1:14:44
  Verse 12 and he said I will hasten my word.
• 1:14:49
  It will happen immediately, but I will give it speed, hasten my
• 1:14:53
  word to perform it. Can I tell you for someone, you
• 1:14:58
  are just one year left to get out of this season.
• 1:15:01
  You have not been maximizing the season.
• 1:15:03
  God gave you, say, a 10 year circle.
• 1:15:06
  Within that circle you were supposed to know God in such a
• 1:15:10
  thorough way #2 to know yourself, not just your
• 1:15:13
  personality, but to know who you are in Christ.
• 1:15:17
  Are we together #3 what do you know?
• 1:15:21
  In this season of preparation, you discover your abilities,
• 1:15:27
  your giftings, and every spiritual investment that God
• 1:15:31
  has placed within you. You discover your abilities.
• 1:15:34
  Please write it down. Your giftings and every
• 1:15:38
  spiritual ability God has put within you.
• 1:15:41
  Your giftings and your abilities are the tools with which God
• 1:15:45
  will use Are we together to bear His glory in your life.
• 1:15:49
  But if you don't know they are there, Moses, if you do not know
• 1:15:53
  your rod will be needed, you would not be able to refine
• 1:15:57
  yourself and know how to use it. David, if you do not know that
• 1:16:02
  your sling, you see that now. The first day David used his
• 1:16:07
  sling was not on Goliaths head. He had been using it not knowing
• 1:16:11
  that that sling that was seemingly nothing would be the
• 1:16:14
  very instrument that will bring him to notoriety.
• 1:16:19
  I'm reminded of the story of the woman in second Kings chapter 4
• 1:16:26
  from verse one and two, the wife of the sons of the prophet, a
• 1:16:30
  certain woman. The Bible says she came to
• 1:16:32
  Elijah saying your servant my husband is dead and thou knowest
• 1:16:37
  that thy servant did fear the Lord.
• 1:16:38
  Isn't this amazing? The guy found God, but there was
• 1:16:42
  something about his ability he did not know.
• 1:16:46
  The creditor is come to take my two sons as born men.
• 1:16:49
  Verse 2 Elijah said unto her, What shall I do for thee?
• 1:16:54
  Tell me what has thou in your house?
• 1:16:57
  Look up. There are two things you must
• 1:16:59
  discover first, what is in your house and what is in your hand.
• 1:17:03
  Two things, they will all be needed to bet the glory of God
• 1:17:09
  in your life. What is in your hand and what is
• 1:17:13
  in your house? You need to find out.
• 1:17:16
  What is in your house can be what is within you because you
• 1:17:20
  are a house yourself. It doesn't just mean something
• 1:17:23
  outside of you. What is in your house can be
• 1:17:25
  something that is within you. What is in your house and what
• 1:17:30
  is on your hand will be instruments that God will use to
• 1:17:34
  bring deliverance to your life and to use you to bring
• 1:17:38
  deliverance to others. We're enjoying today the
• 1:17:42
  ministries of several people within the body of Christ.
• 1:17:46
  And within this house there was a time of discovery.
• 1:17:50
  Discovery. You must discover God.
• 1:17:56
  You must discover yourself in light of prophecy.
• 1:18:01
  You must discover your giftings, your abilities, and the
• 1:18:06
  spiritual investments that God has placed within you.
• 1:18:10
  Can I tell you the truth? Please look at me.
• 1:18:14
  How many of you know that? If you are to be honest, you
• 1:18:18
  have seen similitudes of your future as a child, It's only
• 1:18:22
  that you were not trained to understand it.
• 1:18:24
  Some of you saw the sun, the moon, 11 stars.
• 1:18:28
  You had certain dreams. But maybe with all due respect,
• 1:18:31
  your parents were not spiritual enough.
• 1:18:34
  Of all the dreams you had, those ones refused to leave you
• 1:18:37
  because there was prophecy connected to them.
• 1:18:40
  If you had an opportunity to be mentored, you would have been
• 1:18:44
  guided immediately without wasting years into prophecy.
• 1:18:48
  But some of you, with all due respect, those dreams already
• 1:18:51
  pointed what you should study in school, but because the people
• 1:18:55
  around you were not discerning, you went to read something else
• 1:18:58
  that has no bearing to your destiny right now.
• 1:19:00
  Now don't feel bad, but I am telling you, you can reduce the
• 1:19:03
  burden of destiny when you get prophecy and understand the
• 1:19:07
  seasons fast fast. I can imagine Elijah farming and
• 1:19:16
  every time Elijah was farming, I'm sure maybe he had dreams.
• 1:19:20
  The Bible does not say it. I'm sure maybe he had
• 1:19:22
  similitudes. There's nothing wrong with
• 1:19:24
  agriculture, there's nothing wrong with being a farmer, but
• 1:19:28
  I'm sure there was something in him.
• 1:19:29
  You are made for more. You are going to be speaking the
• 1:19:32
  counsel of God to nations. There are kings and generals who
• 1:19:36
  are at the mercy of your anointing if and when developed.
• 1:19:39
  Although the Bible does not say it.
• 1:19:41
  But remember, it is God who is at work in us even while you are
• 1:19:45
  not yet in His purposes. He's at work in you that
• 1:19:48
  nodging. It is God who is at work in you.
• 1:19:51
  That desire to pray in a way you cannot explain.
• 1:19:54
  It is God who is at work in you. Even before you started learning
• 1:19:58
  about prayer, you found out that there was an appetite.
• 1:20:02
  Do you know why? Because it is part of the
• 1:20:04
  requirement needed for the kind of ministry God is bringing in
• 1:20:07
  you. So He does not have to wait till
• 1:20:09
  you hear a sermon. He's at work in you.
• 1:20:13
  There are some of you who don't, but with all due respect, you
• 1:20:16
  really did not come from disciplined families, yet you do
• 1:20:19
  not have any terrible past. I will tell you why.
• 1:20:22
  It was God who was at work in you when you had the opportunity
• 1:20:25
  to destroy yourself as a young girl and as a young guy.
• 1:20:28
  If no parents stop you, no rules stop you.
• 1:20:32
  God prohibited you for the sake of prophecy.
• 1:20:35
  It is God who is at work in you. You must understand this God who
• 1:20:41
  is at work in you. I remember those times.
• 1:20:44
  I will carry a stick and go behind the house and I'll be
• 1:20:47
  preaching. I I just thought it was not
• 1:20:49
  drama. Am I interested in acting drama?
• 1:20:52
  It is God. Let me tell you this.
• 1:20:54
  When God begins to cooperate with your destiny, it takes a
• 1:20:57
  serious level of rebellion to resist it because it is
• 1:21:01
  powerful. It will be as if God is
• 1:21:03
  insisting on you. You will have a dream and cancel
• 1:21:08
  that dream. He will be patient.
• 1:21:10
  After four months, He will come with that dream again.
• 1:21:13
  He will go to bed and have that dream again.
• 1:21:15
  He would change different scenes till you finally receive it.
• 1:21:18
  What is this thing in every time people are crying?
• 1:21:21
  It's not all prophetic dreams that are demonical.
• 1:21:26
  The lady said she had a dream and she was breastfeeding
• 1:21:29
  children. Someone said you're in trouble,
• 1:21:31
  you're destiny's over. No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 1:21:33
  It may not necessarily be children.
• 1:21:35
  Talk of visions. You don't just conclude that
• 1:21:38
  it's a demonic thing. No, no, it may be that God is
• 1:21:43
  telling her that like Mary. Remember what I told you about
• 1:21:46
  patterns? There is an allocation to your
• 1:21:48
  destiny where you are going to be betting visions.
• 1:21:51
  You will be like a midwife. Can I tell you the truth?
• 1:21:56
  There are people because of your destiny.
• 1:21:58
  God never allowed you to enter one relationship as a young
• 1:22:01
  girl. The day a guy comes, you say
• 1:22:05
  God, what about you will not even answer you, You say just
• 1:22:07
  focus on what you are doing because you are Mary.
• 1:22:10
  It matters the state of your womb as at the time you are
• 1:22:13
  carrying Jesus and so he kept you is someone learning Now this
• 1:22:18
  is very powerful. It is God who is at work.
• 1:22:21
  He knows there are some nodgings you are having right now that is
• 1:22:24
  beyond a sermon. A sermon only brings
• 1:22:27
  verification. You are saying so this is what
• 1:22:29
  God is doing. There are some of you who have
• 1:22:32
  been called, do you know, I'll tell you a humorous story.
• 1:22:35
  Many years ago in primary school, we acted, you know,
• 1:22:40
  there's this compulsory drama. They do.
• 1:22:43
  I was the primary 546. I can't remember now.
• 1:22:46
  And I acted in that drama as a rich man.
• 1:22:49
  Come on now. I remember that drama.
• 1:22:56
  I'm telling you the top pieces of paper.
• 1:23:01
  And then I was, I think I was sharing welfare.
• 1:23:06
  No, no, no, I'm not. I hope you don't misunderstand
• 1:23:08
  me. Who knows that something about
• 1:23:15
  your life that has been repeating is God.
• 1:23:17
  That's why you pray against it. It won't go.
• 1:23:19
  God is telling you there is a mighty warrior in you.
• 1:23:23
  You try to shrug it off. You see, you have a.
• 1:23:25
  Right to reject it. But until your rebellion becomes
• 1:23:29
  consistent and God sees that you understand what He's saying and
• 1:23:33
  you chose to say no, he will not leave you.
• 1:23:38
  For some of you, your coming here is by the Holy Ghost
• 1:23:40
  because you are in a season where some things must come out
• 1:23:44
  and there is a timing for it. If your siblings grow beyond a
• 1:23:47
  certain age without you, imagine they can die overnight.
• 1:23:51
  And so God is hurrying with your training and that's why he sent
• 1:23:54
  you quickly to Koinonia, so that an accelerated process.
• 1:23:59
  I'm telling you this is true. The season of discovery, listen
• 1:24:05
  and preparation war. Besides, a man who stands before
• 1:24:12
  Pharaoh or stands before Goliath and you don't know the tools God
• 1:24:17
  gave you. When Goliath say who are you?
• 1:24:21
  You say, well, I don't know. Life does not give you that
• 1:24:24
  chance to say I don't know when you stand before Goliath, that
• 1:24:30
  is the time of mastery and accuracy.
• 1:24:32
  You do your homework before you stand before him.
• 1:24:35
  But let me tell you something with seasons.
• 1:24:37
  Seasons don't wait for you. They keep passing even while you
• 1:24:41
  are wasting them. You will wake up and find out.
• 1:24:43
  It's like a student look at me. How many students does exam wait
• 1:24:47
  for? The exam is coming as School of
• 1:24:50
  ministry students just wrote their exams yesterday.
• 1:24:53
  Now whether you read or not, that's not the exams business.
• 1:24:57
  There is a season for the exam is for you to hurry up to catch
• 1:25:01
  up. I'm telling, I sense in my heart
• 1:25:05
  for someone. God is saying hurry up, hurry
• 1:25:08
  up, hurry up. You have delayed this thing,
• 1:25:11
  hurry up. By now, by this season, you
• 1:25:14
  would have known God. You don't know him yet.
• 1:25:17
  You would have discovered yourself.
• 1:25:18
  You don't know yourself yet. You would have discovered the
• 1:25:21
  giftings, the anointings, the equipings, and you are yet to
• 1:25:25
  find that out. And yet the season is about to
• 1:25:28
  change to the next. David discovered everything he
• 1:25:36
  had. He discovered he was a warrior.
• 1:25:39
  He was in the wilderness filing himself.
• 1:25:42
  He discovered he could sing. He was in the wilderness writing
• 1:25:45
  songs perhaps. He discovered he was loyal.
• 1:25:49
  He had leadership acumen. You don't have every time to
• 1:25:54
  train yourself. There is a season that is called
• 1:25:57
  best before, best before best before.
• 1:26:04
  There are people who will be wishing prophecy, I tell you
• 1:26:06
  they will grow old and die and never do 110th of the assignment
• 1:26:10
  because the fact that you had a vision of your prophetic destiny
• 1:26:14
  does not guarantee you will walk in it.
• 1:26:18
  Seasons can reveal the glory of God in a man if you know how to
• 1:26:23
  walk with it. Whether you waste seasons or
• 1:26:27
  invest in seasons and use them profitably, that is up to you.
• 1:26:40
  The emergence again. I'm I'm sounding this.
• 1:26:45
  God is telling someone hurry up, hurry up, hurry up young man,
• 1:26:51
  hurry up. God started nudging you since
• 1:26:54
  age 11 till now you are 30. You've not paid attention to
• 1:26:58
  him. Every time you want to pay
• 1:27:00
  attention after a sermon, the devil uses friends to distract
• 1:27:03
  you. You go back again.
• 1:27:05
  You do not know that he's a trap.
• 1:27:07
  I'm telling you, just when you want to be serious with God, one
• 1:27:12
  post from social media will make you to say, you see all these
• 1:27:15
  child people, they are not serious and you are the one
• 1:27:18
  doing your own destiny. Because can I tell you at the
• 1:27:22
  end of it, none of the people misleading you will take
• 1:27:25
  responsibility for your failure. Some of you.
• 1:27:29
  According to your prophetic program, you should have
• 1:27:32
  understood the loss of wealth by now.
• 1:27:34
  You should have been preparing for the kind of Kingdom
• 1:27:37
  resources God will give you. But until now, greed is still in
• 1:27:41
  your heart. You've not given the Holy Spirit
• 1:27:43
  room to prune you, to build you. God has told you you will be a
• 1:27:47
  prophet. You've seen yourself
• 1:27:49
  prophesying. But you are not prepared.
• 1:27:52
  God cannot carry an. Ill prepared vessel.
• 1:27:54
  The fact that you put prophet behind your name does not mean
• 1:27:58
  you are a prophet. No, Sir, No Sir.
• 1:28:04
  Idols don't announce seasons or don't announce greatness.
• 1:28:10
  It is when you maximize seasons, they announce you for someone.
• 1:28:18
  I'm telling you again by the spirit, hurry up, hurry up,
• 1:28:22
  hurry up. Hurry up, my dear sister.
• 1:28:25
  Hurry up my dear brother, you will not always have the time.
• 1:28:29
  Listen to what I'm telling you. Life is fragmented in season and
• 1:28:34
  a major season in your life is about to end.
• 1:28:37
  But the preparation that that season should capture you.
• 1:28:40
  See if your exam should be written as per that season, you
• 1:28:44
  will fail woefully. You've not built your prayer
• 1:28:46
  life. You've not built your
• 1:28:48
  understanding of the Word. You've not built your
• 1:28:50
  consecration. You are not a person of stature
• 1:28:53
  and power. We together.
• 1:28:55
  You've not discovered God, you've not discovered yourself.
• 1:28:58
  You've not discovered your giftings, and you've not
• 1:29:01
  discovered your prophetic assignment for things you must
• 1:29:05
  find. You must discover God.
• 1:29:07
  You must discover yourself in light of prophecy.
• 1:29:11
  You must discover your giftings, your abilities, and the
• 1:29:14
  spiritual investments within you.
• 1:29:17
  And then #4 you must find your place in prophecy.
• 1:29:21
  If you cannot do these four things, you have wasted the
• 1:29:24
  season of discovery and preparation.
• 1:29:27
  Please be seated, please sit, please sit, please sit.
• 1:29:39
  There are many people today by their prophetic preordination.
• 1:29:42
  There are songs they are supposed to bring, but they just
• 1:29:45
  know they have nice voices and the Holy Ghost keeps nudging
• 1:29:49
  them all the time. When you come to church and
• 1:29:52
  someone raises a song while others are enjoying the song,
• 1:29:56
  you are literally seeing yourself standing.
• 1:29:58
  It is the Holy Ghost God who is at walking you.
• 1:30:01
  He's telling you why do you want to keep that gift?
• 1:30:05
  Those from you? The songs that should come, they
• 1:30:07
  are ladders. Ladders that will usher men to
• 1:30:10
  realms of revival. Can I tell you the truth?
• 1:30:17
  Everyone listen to me. Every time you see a person in
• 1:30:22
  his season of manifestation and there is a resonance in your
• 1:30:26
  spirit is because there is a portion of your assignment.
• 1:30:29
  It is deep, calling on too deep, whether it's a man of God,
• 1:30:33
  whether it's a businessman. I teach you a mystery.
• 1:30:37
  I'm not talking of just being blessed.
• 1:30:39
  There are times you see a man and you are literally seeing
• 1:30:42
  your future. It's called a resonance.
• 1:30:46
  Sleep is calling on to deep. You can look at a woman and
• 1:30:49
  something from that woman is answering into your spirit.
• 1:30:53
  You won't be able to resist it. Others may be.
• 1:30:56
  Enjoying church but for you it's an impartation is a spirit
• 1:31:00
  transfer. I remember those days.
• 1:31:08
  When I would watch Reinhard Bonke, when I would watch TL
• 1:31:11
  Osborne and God's Generals, for me was not just a a a salmon.
• 1:31:16
  There was something within them. It was like we were relatives
• 1:31:20
  from the same tribe, from the same family.
• 1:31:23
  I couldn't explain it, but I could not resist.
• 1:31:25
  It it was a fire that was burning within my spirit,
• 1:31:30
  burning within my spirit. Now I know.
• 1:31:33
  I know better. I know better.
• 1:31:36
  I know better, I know better, I know what happened to the two
• 1:31:41
  men in Emmaus when they met Jesus.
• 1:31:43
  Deep can call on too deep. Some of you, when you look at
• 1:31:48
  some of the business people, you are even feeling guilty because
• 1:31:54
  once you are all about prayer and fasting, wanting to be a man
• 1:31:58
  of God, your destiny is to be a financial apostle and you're not
• 1:32:02
  lazy. Sometimes you feel guilty
• 1:32:04
  because you want to pray like others first, like others.
• 1:32:08
  But as much as that is profitable, it's not part of
• 1:32:11
  your equipping. Esther, when you see Esther,
• 1:32:18
  Esther will answer to Esther. Elizabeth when you see Mary, the
• 1:32:25
  visions will leap. Elizabeth is ahead of Mary, but
• 1:32:29
  when you see the visions, it will leap.
• 1:32:32
  I'm telling you this. This thing I'm telling you is so
• 1:32:36
  powerful. You can look at a man and the
• 1:32:40
  man is looking at you and you are not interacting, but the man
• 1:32:43
  knows that something from him is answering to your spirit.
• 1:32:48
  It's true. There are people I have seen in
• 1:32:52
  the midst of a crowd whilst I'm talking.
• 1:32:54
  I can know by the rate of the spirit that there is something
• 1:32:58
  I'm saying that is answering to the spirit of that Lady,
• 1:33:02
  answering to the spirit of that man.
• 1:33:03
  That's why Paul will say no, we no man after the flesh.
• 1:33:07
  He says spirit communication, Hallelujah.
• 1:33:25
  That is also one of the ways that you find the models.
• 1:33:30
  If you don't choose models, deep allocates them.
• 1:33:34
  There is a depth in the spirit. You will hear a voice and hear a
• 1:33:38
  sound and there will be a resonance in your spirit.
• 1:33:41
  It's not about accuracy of preaching.
• 1:33:43
  It's about allocations in the spirit.
• 1:33:48
  Can I tell you the truth? If Ruth was mentored by Elijah,
• 1:33:54
  she will be called Elijah, not Ruth.
• 1:33:58
  It matters. Every allocation in the body of
• 1:34:01
  Christ is connected to a specific assignment.
• 1:34:04
  That's why it's not good to to look down on people.
• 1:34:07
  Because in looking down on people, especially voices that
• 1:34:11
  are godly with integrity, you are, as you discredit certain
• 1:34:16
  voices in the body, you are also punishing the people who are
• 1:34:20
  supposed to follow them until they become Hallelujah.
• 1:34:25
  When God is setting you up to be say and an entrepreneur, a
• 1:34:29
  leader, he may allocate to say to someone like with all due
• 1:34:32
  respect, Reverend Samadhi, me or something of that sort.
• 1:34:36
  The patterns, the ministry, it may be very different and
• 1:34:39
  sometimes, especially among we Pentecostals and unfortunately,
• 1:34:44
  some of the reckless manifestations of young
• 1:34:46
  ministers who are not cultured very properly, sometimes they
• 1:34:50
  can destroy people's correct followership because they define
• 1:34:54
  a template that if you do not assume they make it look like
• 1:34:58
  you, will never emerge. It's not true.
• 1:35:00
  There are allocations in the Spirit.
• 1:35:03
  It is the reason why there are different churches and God has
• 1:35:06
  different programs, albeit they connect to His universal
• 1:35:10
  prophetic program. Is someone learning now?
• 1:35:16
  There are people who are sent here because of the nature of
• 1:35:20
  their building, what God is bringing from them.
• 1:35:23
  And the way God does it is that there are people in other
• 1:35:26
  assemblies, but they would take electives other places.
• 1:35:29
  You know how you take electives as a student?
• 1:35:31
  Because certain things you need may not be captured in the
• 1:35:35
  experience of that man of God. So God will shift you for a
• 1:35:38
  season to Draw Something and then you continue what you are
• 1:35:41
  doing. I wish there was a better way of
• 1:35:45
  explaining this thing to you. Sometimes spiritual things are
• 1:35:49
  difficult to explain, but you understand what I've said so
• 1:35:51
  far. Now the question I have for you
• 1:35:56
  is, on a scale of 1 to 10, what would you say is your knowledge
• 1:36:02
  of God? Ladies and gentlemen, let me
• 1:36:04
  tell you the truth. If you do not know God in the
• 1:36:07
  days that are coming, you may fall by the wayside.
• 1:36:10
  I don't care whether you're a preacher, whether you're a
• 1:36:12
  businessman. I've seen these things in my
• 1:36:15
  visions. The days that are coming will so
• 1:36:19
  threaten people upon the earth. Their stability will be the
• 1:36:22
  knowledge of God. AI has come to stay, genetic
• 1:36:28
  engineering, Internet of Things. There will be such disruptions
• 1:36:33
  upon the earth. A time will come.
• 1:36:35
  Men will be confused as to who they are.
• 1:36:37
  So it's better to find out now. Now Jesus walked to the
• 1:36:42
  disciples and said, Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, I
• 1:36:45
  am? And some said you are Elijah,
• 1:36:47
  some said you are whatever it is, Hallelujah.
• 1:36:51
  But I know whom I believed, and I am persuaded, persuaded,
• 1:36:57
  persuaded man of God. Before you meet Janice and
• 1:37:01
  Jembes, understand how God moves.
• 1:37:05
  If not, one day you will stand with Janice and Jembes and not
• 1:37:08
  know the difference between a fake miracle and a real miracle.
• 1:37:12
  You will be part of fraternities that would destroy your life,
• 1:37:15
  not because you are bad, but because your knowledge of God is
• 1:37:18
  so low. I pray for you.
• 1:37:21
  Hunger for His presence. Hunger to know God.
• 1:37:26
  Hunger to invest in prayer. Hunger to learn doctrine, Hunger
• 1:37:31
  to understand the ways of God. Let it be released upon you in
• 1:37:36
  the name of Jesus Christ. Please be seated.
• 1:37:40
  Let's hurry up. I'm only teaching you three
• 1:37:44
  seasons season #2 So the first defining season as far as
• 1:37:52
  birthing glory and birthing greatness in the life of
• 1:37:56
  believer, a believer is concerned, is the season of
• 1:37:59
  discovery and preparation. And I said you discover God.
• 1:38:03
  You must find God and have a deep knowledge of Him.
• 1:38:10
  You must discover yourself in light of prophecy and in light
• 1:38:15
  of who Christ is. You must discover your giftings,
• 1:38:19
  your abilities, and the spiritual investments that have
• 1:38:23
  been deposited within you. And finally, you must discover
• 1:38:28
  your assignment, your prophetic role in God's grand scheme of
• 1:38:32
  things #2 the second season. Now listen, ladies and
• 1:38:39
  gentlemen, according to your to scripture and I can tell you in
• 1:38:44
  my own experience, this second season, you see, is the hardest
• 1:38:49
  season in the life of a believer.
• 1:38:52
  It's called the season of proving, the season of testing
• 1:38:57
  or proving, the season of testing or the season of
• 1:39:09
  proving. I can tell you this, it is in
• 1:39:18
  this season where God's voice will become more silent in all
• 1:39:23
  of your destiny. Some of you are in this season
• 1:39:27
  right now. You've you've had me teach you
• 1:39:31
  that when God is silent, you have to learn that the silence
• 1:39:36
  of God is a language itself. Every time God is silent, he's
• 1:39:40
  saying something, and if you do not understand the silence of
• 1:39:44
  God, you will be frustrated. Watch this, the greatest
• 1:39:48
  destruction. If Satan fails to destroy your
• 1:39:52
  destiny from his infancy, he will wait until you get to this
• 1:39:56
  season. Because God is largely silent in
• 1:39:59
  this season, Satan will speak using different voices and
• 1:40:04
  confuse your destiny. Pay attention.
• 1:40:07
  I want to tell you something about this season.
• 1:40:14
  The season of proving, The season of testing.
• 1:40:18
  Deuteronomy chapter 8. Let's begin our reading from
• 1:40:22
  verse 13. When your hearts and your flocks
• 1:40:33
  multiply, when your silver and your gold multiply and all that
• 1:40:38
  you have is multiplied, then your hearts be lifted upon you.
• 1:40:43
  Forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth from out of
• 1:40:46
  the land of Egypt, from the House of bondage, who led you
• 1:40:49
  through that great and terrible will and his pay attention
• 1:40:54
  wherein they were. What?
• 1:40:55
  Why would God lead you through this?
• 1:40:58
  Read the first 3 words. One to go.
• 1:41:02
  Come on, you can see it. One to go, 1 to go.
• 1:41:07
  Question. They were led to this place.
• 1:41:11
  They didn't go there as a result of carelessness.
• 1:41:14
  The Bible says God let them. I thought when God leads a man,
• 1:41:19
  it should be a wonderful place. You don't go through anything
• 1:41:23
  whatsoever. Oh no.
• 1:41:25
  Then you don't understand the leadings that makes mighty men
• 1:41:28
  in the Spirit. If your idea of the leadings of
• 1:41:32
  God as far as destiny is concerned is that it's just a
• 1:41:35
  straight line from your dream until the manifestation of
• 1:41:39
  prophecy, you're misled. You're misled completely.
• 1:41:44
  Please give it to us. Let me finish that scripture.
• 1:41:47
  They were led into a great and terrible wilderness.
• 1:41:51
  And what was in that wilderness? Fiery serpents, scorpions,
• 1:41:56
  drought. There was no water.
• 1:41:59
  And then He brought forth water out of the rock of Flint. 16 Who
• 1:42:04
  fed you in the wilderness with manner which your father's knew
• 1:42:08
  not Why? Read the remaining part. 1 To
• 1:42:11
  go, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee to
• 1:42:17
  do thee good at thy latter end. Stop.
• 1:42:20
  There is someone seeing that now.
• 1:42:26
  That should be Psalm 66, verse 12.
• 1:42:28
  Thou has caused men to ride over our heads.
• 1:42:33
  We went through fire and threw water, but thou brought us into
• 1:42:39
  a wealthy place. Ladies and gentlemen, if God
• 1:42:47
  ever told Joseph that he was going to go through the pits,
• 1:42:52
  the prison, Potiphar's house, then another prison again and
• 1:42:58
  with the explores 2 years before he became a Prime Minister, I am
• 1:43:03
  telling you Joseph himself would have looked at God and say I
• 1:43:06
  love you wherever you are, but I'm not interested.
• 1:43:09
  Give that assignment to someone. Can I tell you there is a part
• 1:43:13
  of the prophecy of your destiny? God will never allow you to see
• 1:43:17
  it. You will just come into it.
• 1:43:19
  No matter how discerning you are, you will not be given the
• 1:43:22
  liberty to see it because the nature of that training, it is
• 1:43:27
  so aggressive, it will discourage you.
• 1:43:29
  So God will just give you the end picture.
• 1:43:32
  He will tell you you will become a multi millionaire.
• 1:43:35
  He will tell you become a great apostle, He will tell you your
• 1:43:38
  children will be great. But you there is a part of that
• 1:43:41
  story, no matter how you pray, you will not see it.
• 1:43:44
  It is concealed so that it does not discourage you.
• 1:43:47
  And one day you will just step into the season.
• 1:43:52
  Let me tell you how this seasons come.
• 1:43:54
  They come with sometimes unprepared tragic events.
• 1:43:59
  I wish for someone this season can come.
• 1:44:04
  God may not be the one who cost it, but God can use everything
• 1:44:09
  around for someone. The death of a loved one can
• 1:44:13
  usher this season. You may not know why you cannot
• 1:44:16
  explain someone. Is the loss of a job something
• 1:44:21
  in your life? Let me tell you how you know you
• 1:44:23
  are in this season. There is a conflict between your
• 1:44:26
  integrity and your results. Your integrity does not change,
• 1:44:32
  your prayer life does not go down, your consecration does not
• 1:44:36
  change, your passion does not change, or it looks like the
• 1:44:39
  heavens are closed over you. One of the ways you know you are
• 1:44:42
  in this season. So there is a difference between
• 1:44:45
  being punished for disobedience and going through the season of
• 1:44:49
  proving. And I'm showing you the test
• 1:44:51
  now. When your prayer life goes down,
• 1:44:55
  your word life goes down, your passion for God goes down, and
• 1:44:58
  tragedy strikes, you are not in the season of testing.
• 1:45:01
  You are reaping the harvest of carelessness and inconsistency.
• 1:45:05
  But there are times in the life of a man where your prayer life
• 1:45:09
  is intact, your word life is intact, everything is intact,
• 1:45:15
  and yet the heavens are closed. Test #2 You will cry and say,
• 1:45:21
  God, why talk to me, and he will be silent.
• 1:45:26
  His silence does not mean he hates you.
• 1:45:28
  His silence is a language, is a language that when you don't
• 1:45:32
  hear my voice, trust my presence.
• 1:45:39
  Hallelujah. Your confidence must be anchored
• 1:45:42
  on both His presence and His voice, not just His voice alone.
• 1:45:47
  Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
• 1:45:51
  fear no evil. Talk to me.
• 1:45:52
  Why? For thou art with me.
• 1:45:56
  Not that you are speaking to me. Did you hear that?
• 1:45:59
  That you are speaking to him? Some of you are going to fire
• 1:46:02
  right now I am telling you God is with you.
• 1:46:05
  But he says season of proving. Now let me give you a word of
• 1:46:08
  caution and I confess to you that sometimes I've been a
• 1:46:12
  victim of this myself. In all honesty, there are times
• 1:46:15
  people are going through this season and compassion can make
• 1:46:19
  you to try to help them and bring them out of that season.
• 1:46:23
  You destroy that season and recycle their pain again.
• 1:46:27
  It's good to help people, but the sun, sometimes compassion
• 1:46:31
  can make you want to bring people out.
• 1:46:33
  How come this young lady loves the Lord?
• 1:46:36
  She's working in integrity. No house rent, no whatever it
• 1:46:40
  is, God is building a kind of compassion in that Lady because
• 1:46:44
  of something she will be doing for people in the future.
• 1:46:47
  Don't destroy the training. Don't destroy the training.
• 1:46:52
  Sometimes you can see a brother who loves God for 10 years, five
• 1:46:56
  years, no car, no nothing. He would try going to church.
• 1:47:00
  He would do whatever and judge me cry.
• 1:47:02
  He will serve God with all his heart.
• 1:47:04
  Everyone is going forward except him.
• 1:47:06
  And sometimes you can be tempted to say what is wrong now,
• 1:47:09
  provided your integrity is in place.
• 1:47:12
  Just know you are going through a season.
• 1:47:14
  The Bible says to do the good at your latter end.
• 1:47:19
  Now this is a part of the believers experience that you
• 1:47:22
  have to be mentored to understand, else you are going
• 1:47:26
  to be offended by God. Some of you are offended by God,
• 1:47:30
  offended by church. Hallelujah.
• 1:47:35
  I remember years ago someone got angry and said, every time I
• 1:47:39
  pray and fast during miracle service, you professor and
• 1:47:42
  everybody and leave me, say the next time if I call any name,
• 1:47:45
  whether it's him or not, he will come out because he's tired of
• 1:47:48
  this kind of thing. I prepare my spirits, I fast, I
• 1:47:52
  pray, I watch people get blessed and of course I get blessed
• 1:47:56
  generally. But is it that God cannot locate
• 1:47:59
  me? Am I such a is it my father's
• 1:48:01
  sin? Is he my sin?
• 1:48:02
  The person was really bitter. It's a season of proving
• 1:48:09
  question. What did Joseph do to get into
• 1:48:13
  the well? How many of you know that
• 1:48:17
  sometimes righteousness leads you to trouble and yet the Bible
• 1:48:22
  says you are LED. The leadership of the Holy
• 1:48:26
  Spirit is a very serious thing. Most of us have an idea that if
• 1:48:29
  the Holy Ghost is leading you, it will always be results and
• 1:48:32
  laughter. Well, with respect to a great
• 1:48:34
  destiny, that's not how champions are made.
• 1:48:39
  I can tell you stories and bore you through this night with my
• 1:48:43
  stories of seasons where we did everything right, but it looked
• 1:48:49
  like the heavens were closed and thankfully speaking, God had
• 1:48:53
  shown me this early. So I knew that sometimes when
• 1:48:57
  you get to that season, let me tell you what to do.
• 1:48:59
  There is nothing to else to do than to cry and give thanks.
• 1:49:04
  That is when you need to listen to messages like the staying
• 1:49:07
  power. Some of you, I'm giving you an
• 1:49:09
  arsenal right now because you are in that season.
• 1:49:11
  You're in that season you can find a man and a woman who love
• 1:49:17
  God with all their lives. Ten years, 15 years, they love
• 1:49:22
  Jesus with all their heart and it looks like there's no child.
• 1:49:25
  You see, that's what you have to be careful.
• 1:49:28
  Don't judge people foolishly because you can be heaping up a
• 1:49:32
  curse upon your head. You don't know what season
• 1:49:35
  people are passing through. Who is learning this now?
• 1:49:41
  There are times people receive a recompense for their
• 1:49:43
  carelessness and their laxities spiritually.
• 1:49:46
  But I can tell you there are times where glory is being
• 1:49:49
  birthed in people. Seems like we still do that.
• 1:49:52
  Our new wine song again. So you we should prepare.
• 1:49:54
  It's a good song for a teaching like this.
• 1:49:59
  Someone is in this season right now.
• 1:50:01
  A man of God is in this season right now.
• 1:50:04
  Satan will tempt you. He will say join this group.
• 1:50:07
  Join this group. They will announce you faster
• 1:50:10
  and then the voice of the Spirit says all the days of your
• 1:50:12
  appointed time, that time is appointed.
• 1:50:15
  Wait. I'm an OSHA, but it's insulting
• 1:50:19
  my pedigree. I mean the way I'm anointed.
• 1:50:22
  I've seen young, young boys who are younger than me starting
• 1:50:24
  their ministry. I I want to start mine.
• 1:50:27
  And the Spirit of God says wait, wait, wait.
• 1:50:34
  There are two ways God leads to there are times you can say go.
• 1:50:40
  There are times he keeps quiet and knowingly so and if you want
• 1:50:44
  to move you will now say stop. When you go through this season
• 1:50:52
  sometimes as a man of God, God is making you will be counseling
• 1:50:55
  people over the same issue you are going through.
• 1:50:58
  God will give you solutions for them as soon as they leave the
• 1:51:01
  office. You say God, what about me God?
• 1:51:03
  And he becomes silent. He only speaks when there is
• 1:51:06
  somebody for you to help. Always descend the silence of
• 1:51:09
  God. You are not wasting your life.
• 1:51:12
  You are not wasting your days. Who is learning now?
• 1:51:16
  This is very powerful. I will give you room to sing it
• 1:51:19
  once, then I'll take it from there.
• 1:51:21
  So someone find someone for me who will sing that song.
• 1:51:24
  I want everybody to listen. I sing these songs.
• 1:51:26
  They are not special numbers. They are creating an effect in
• 1:51:29
  your spirit for someone. God is ministering deeply to
• 1:51:32
  you. You are in a season where as it
• 1:51:34
  stands right now, you are broke financially.
• 1:51:37
  You went to do a masters and you were happy thinking after the
• 1:51:40
  masters a job will come. Your righteousness has not
• 1:51:44
  changed. Your loving Jesus has not
• 1:51:46
  changed. Your passion for the House of
• 1:51:48
  God has not changed. And in spite of all the
• 1:51:50
  prophecies that has come, it looks like 2025 is your worst
• 1:51:54
  year so far. And honestly, as it stands right
• 1:51:57
  now, you are holding on to the last string of trust.
• 1:52:00
  I have a word for you. You are going through a season.
• 1:52:03
  You are not the only one. It's a season that makes
• 1:52:06
  champions. Like an insect moves from egg,
• 1:52:09
  lava, pupa, adult. No insect goes from egg to pupa.
• 1:52:14
  No child goes from baby to adult.
• 1:52:17
  From baby you go to the next stage, older baby, then you go
• 1:52:23
  to teenager, then adolescence, then young adult, then
• 1:52:29
  middle-aged man, then a grand. Nobody called.
• 1:52:33
  It's impossible for a child of 10 years to be called
• 1:52:36
  grandfather, no matter the kind of favor on him.
• 1:52:40
  He cannot be called grandfather by biological dissent.
• 1:52:44
  He's too young for that experience.
• 1:52:47
  Sing for me. Everyone listen.
• 1:52:51
  In the crushing, In the pressing.
• 1:52:57
  Helping you interpret your seasons right?
• 1:52:59
  Now you were making new eyes, and in the soil eye now
• 1:53:12
  surrender. You were breaking new ground, so
• 1:53:22
  I yield to you until you care for him.
• 1:53:29
  When I trust you, I don't need to understand.
• 1:53:38
  Make me of a soul. Make me in all three.
• 1:53:46
  Make me whatever you want me to be.
• 1:53:54
  I came here with nothing but all you have given me.
• 1:54:03
  Jesus, bring the wine out of be. Jesus, bring the wine out of be.
• 1:54:16
  Hallelujah. Let me encourage you, one of the
• 1:54:23
  most comforting scriptures for me in the Bible is the Scripture
• 1:54:27
  and it came to pass. Let me minister to someone.
• 1:54:33
  Perhaps you are following from across the globe.
• 1:54:36
  It looks like they're going to deport you because you're behind
• 1:54:40
  on your bills. When righteousness does not
• 1:54:43
  profit, God is up to something every time.
• 1:54:46
  Righteousness looks like a disadvantage in your life, be
• 1:54:50
  patient. It is not over yet.
• 1:54:52
  Did you hear what I said? Don't forget this.
• 1:54:55
  There are times in the life of a believer where righteousness
• 1:54:59
  will look like a disadvantage. I tell you, if you have not
• 1:55:02
  faced that, keep growing a. Time will come.
• 1:55:06
  Your loving Jesus will look like a minus in your life.
• 1:55:09
  You're serving Jesus will look like a minus in your life.
• 1:55:12
  You're raising children properly will look like a minus in your
• 1:55:16
  life. And sometimes people can tell
• 1:55:18
  you, well, I told you, leave these children, You said you are
• 1:55:20
  raising them well. Look at it now.
• 1:55:22
  Every time righteousness looks unprofitable, don't give up.
• 1:55:28
  Something is birthing. There is a birthing in the
• 1:55:31
  spirit. There are many women here with
• 1:55:33
  children, many women who have given birth here.
• 1:55:37
  No matter how seamless that delivery is, it cannot be 100%
• 1:55:41
  pain free. Once you're a woman and you're
• 1:55:43
  about to push a child, there is a measure of travail.
• 1:55:49
  Some get it easier than others. Are we together?
• 1:55:52
  Some have to be rushed into an emergency room because they
• 1:55:56
  bleed. Many other things happen.
• 1:55:58
  It was not part of the plan. I don't know how many women
• 1:56:04
  laugh when they are giving birth.
• 1:56:05
  You can laugh before not allowed by faith, but at the point of
• 1:56:08
  pushing everybody is serious because life is coming out.
• 1:56:12
  Who is learning now? So for someone you see that you
• 1:56:17
  are in a prophetic season, an apostle is imagining don't give
• 1:56:22
  up that season. Don't stop the prayer.
• 1:56:25
  This is the wrongest time to stop prayer.
• 1:56:27
  This is the wrongest time to stop coming to church.
• 1:56:31
  You can pick offense with everything.
• 1:56:34
  Husband picks offense with a wife.
• 1:56:36
  And sometimes you need to intercede because Satan can use
• 1:56:39
  men to fight you. In this season, they make a
• 1:56:43
  nasty statement in passing. I've not seen the profit of your
• 1:56:47
  serving God. Don't tell me anything about
• 1:56:49
  church. From the day we started giving,
• 1:56:53
  we started going down and they make it look as if given.
• 1:56:56
  You see most of these troubles you see sometimes around the
• 1:56:59
  body of Christ is because people have not been taught to
• 1:57:01
  interpret seasons. So they carried the anger from
• 1:57:05
  these seasons and they blame it on church.
• 1:57:07
  They blame it on men of God. They blame it on God.
• 1:57:10
  I've been given. What's the benefits I've shared
• 1:57:18
  with you how we held our crusades, great memories.
• 1:57:22
  These have become priceless cast upon us tonight and today.
• 1:57:26
  And in this season we did everything right, everything
• 1:57:31
  right. There was no money to pay the
• 1:57:33
  bills after praying and fasting, calling upon the name of the
• 1:57:38
  Lord, preaching with all our hearts.
• 1:57:41
  And the strange thing is that when you are in this season, on
• 1:57:45
  one hand of your life you will see the mighty hand of God, but
• 1:57:48
  in another area you will be mysteriously silent.
• 1:57:52
  Miracles people were receiving. What does it take God to give us
• 1:57:58
  150,000 naira then at that time to pay for sound?
• 1:58:03
  You imagine you go for crusade, you encourage people and then at
• 1:58:06
  the end of it, you're almost going to jail for 150,000.
• 1:58:10
  You didn't steal. Can I tell you, genuine
• 1:58:17
  compassion is not something that is natural in men.
• 1:58:21
  There has to be a history that fuels through compassion.
• 1:58:26
  When you see people who are greedy, just leave them.
• 1:58:28
  Life has not done them yet. The day they go through the
• 1:58:31
  value of the shadow of death. When they see someone crying,
• 1:58:35
  they won't say why are you crying?
• 1:58:36
  There's enough memory from their pain.
• 1:58:39
  Some of the things I do today, I pulled from the residue of
• 1:58:44
  yesteryears. This is the reason why, you see,
• 1:58:47
  when I'm teaching people, I teach you in passion because I
• 1:58:50
  wish I had someone who helped to interpret the seasons for us
• 1:58:53
  more accurately. Where there is new wine, you
• 1:59:01
  sing that part and then I give us #3 go ahead.
• 1:59:05
  Where there is new wine, there is new power.
• 1:59:13
  There is new freedom. The Kingdom is she.
• 1:59:21
  I lay down my own flames to carry on new fire today.
• 1:59:37
  Where there is new life, there is new power.
• 1:59:46
  Very. Quickly, the season of testing
• 2:00:08
  and proving achieves 3 things #1 It brings you to a point where
• 2:00:14
  you see how insufficient your strength is outside of the help
• 2:00:19
  and the mercy of God. Write that down.
• 2:00:21
  The season of proving and testing achieves 3 things.
• 2:00:26
  And let me tell you the truth, until these three things are
• 2:00:29
  fulfilled, you will never get out of that season.
• 2:00:32
  So the earlier you align for these three things, I'll repeat
• 2:00:36
  myself to happen to you. It will determine the pace with
• 2:00:40
  which that season will come to an end.
• 2:00:42
  Number one, it reveals to you how insufficient your strength
• 2:00:47
  is outside of the help and the mercy of God.
• 2:00:52
  Men are naturally arrogant until God gives them a chance to test
• 2:00:58
  their strength and watch it fail, they will never naturally
• 2:01:03
  embrace the strength of God. We may profess it in church.
• 2:01:07
  As a man of God, it's easy to say, Lord, I give you
• 2:01:10
  everything. But the truth is that the pride
• 2:01:13
  of man is so deep even man does not know how deep it is.
• 2:01:17
  It will take the season of proving.
• 2:01:20
  God will bring your strength face to face with life and you
• 2:01:24
  will see how small your strength is.
• 2:01:27
  It brings you to your knees. Is someone learning?
• 2:01:32
  Now go and ask any man who has been a beneficiary of the
• 2:01:37
  birthing of glory. They will tell you this was the
• 2:01:39
  first thing, the season of proving.
• 2:01:44
  When you meet people who have gone through the season of
• 2:01:46
  proving, you will know it. Because even if there were
• 2:01:49
  people who were formally proud, life will.
• 2:01:53
  God will arrange things that will tame that pride by the time
• 2:01:57
  they come out of it, all the noise you see them make, they
• 2:02:00
  just keep quiet. They allow younger people to
• 2:02:02
  keep talking. Hallelujah.
• 2:02:08
  David went through Hellfire as he came out.
• 2:02:10
  Go and see the progression of Psalms.
• 2:02:13
  There are times he did not say some things again.
• 2:02:16
  The Lord is my light and my salvation.
• 2:02:18
  There were all that things David said.
• 2:02:20
  I'd rather be a doorkeeper in the House of God.
• 2:02:23
  You think that song came naturally?
• 2:02:25
  No Sir, no Sir, no Sir. I lay me down and I slept.
• 2:02:31
  I wait for the Lord. Sustain me.
• 2:02:33
  David, there are times you will see certain arrogant people
• 2:02:40
  worshipping in church. They've never suffered.
• 2:02:44
  And so when others are rolling and crying, they're just
• 2:02:47
  watching what's going on here. It's because their parents are
• 2:02:49
  alive. It's because your uncle is a
• 2:02:51
  senator. Nothing wrong with that.
• 2:02:53
  Congratulations. But as you step into the season
• 2:02:56
  of proving your father just calls and said now you are an
• 2:02:59
  adult, get out of my house. I didn't have plan for anything.
• 2:03:02
  The only inheritance I have for you is God and knowledge.
• 2:03:05
  You have both be on your way. That shock and that surprise and
• 2:03:09
  then #2 where you are believe that your uncles and aunties
• 2:03:13
  will give you a job. You call them and they will not
• 2:03:16
  reply you. You are now left in a position
• 2:03:18
  all by yourself. You will be angry, you will be
• 2:03:21
  offended till you become broken. Then you get to a point where
• 2:03:24
  you say, you know what? Nobody owes me anything, Lord, I
• 2:03:27
  give up. You have passed the exams.
• 2:03:31
  Until that crushing happens, I am telling you that season will
• 2:03:36
  not stop. You will keep repeating that
• 2:03:38
  exams even if it is for 30 years.
• 2:03:42
  If glory must be birthed in you, this season of proving must have
• 2:03:47
  its full walk in your life, crushing as a man of God.
• 2:03:54
  One day you arrogantly go for a meeting full of yourself.
• 2:03:59
  The power of God is going to move here and everybody's
• 2:04:01
  watching you like a cinema. Don't worry because you put
• 2:04:06
  enough fast and pray. Let's charge the atmosphere.
• 2:04:08
  You would charge and charge, play guitar, play drums, call
• 2:04:12
  the worshippers, be angry. You will almost forget every
• 2:04:16
  scripture you have and at the end of it there will be waving
• 2:04:19
  papers for you. 2 more minutes. Everybody's tired of you and you
• 2:04:24
  come down. Someone says but I thought they
• 2:04:26
  said you were anointed. Anyway, we are blessed, God
• 2:04:28
  bless you. God will allow that statement
• 2:04:30
  for a reason. You will go back to the secret
• 2:04:32
  place and God will show you that our sufficiency is not of
• 2:04:36
  ourselves. From that time you will learn an
• 2:04:39
  eternal lesson. No matter how anointed you
• 2:04:42
  become in the future, you will not be ashamed of telling people
• 2:04:45
  my sufficiency. You can use what I'm teaching
• 2:04:50
  you to literally know what season people are in.
• 2:04:54
  When you see people bragging and saying a lot of things insulting
• 2:04:58
  around, be patient. Don't condemn them.
• 2:05:00
  They are only telling you that there are some seasons you have
• 2:05:03
  not entered. I'm telling you when some
• 2:05:06
  seasons come upon you, you just keep quiet.
• 2:05:11
  If somebody comes to gossip at the end of it, you say, let's
• 2:05:13
  hold hands and pray for the person because you have been in
• 2:05:16
  that valley of the shadow of death.
• 2:05:19
  Is someone learning? Number three, let me give you
• 2:05:22
  the third season. OK, three things I said it
• 2:05:25
  achieves. Let me read for you quickly.
• 2:05:26
  Number one, there is a revelation of the insufficiency
• 2:05:31
  of your strength. Did you write that down?
• 2:05:34
  So there is an exchange? Your weakness for his strength,
• 2:05:38
  your weakness for his strength #2 the second thing that the
• 2:05:43
  season of proving puts in you is compassion.
• 2:05:46
  Compassion for others. It's impossible to really be a
• 2:05:53
  person of compassion like the Bible demands without going
• 2:05:57
  through certain seasons. It's not true.
• 2:05:59
  The Bible says to comfort others with the same comforts that we
• 2:06:03
  have received. Hallelujah, praise the name of
• 2:06:07
  the Lord. There are times that tragedy,
• 2:06:09
  disaster will strike over your life and by the time it comes
• 2:06:14
  and you enjoy comfort from others, help from God, you will
• 2:06:17
  be quick. You know, growing up as a little
• 2:06:20
  boy, I used to wonder why parents and you know, some of
• 2:06:24
  our elderly people, especially those from 607080, every burial
• 2:06:30
  they are there. Every Thanksgiving they are
• 2:06:32
  there. And sometimes, you know, as
• 2:06:33
  children you keep asking must they be there?
• 2:06:37
  Do you know everybody that dies today?
• 2:06:39
  You said this one died. I used to know him, was a
• 2:06:41
  principal in 1971. Now, after many years, I now see
• 2:06:46
  the wisdom. There is a way you go to pain.
• 2:06:50
  You will be quick to stand and help others.
• 2:06:53
  Are we together now? There are many, many people I
• 2:06:55
  can tell you who have not entered this season yet.
• 2:06:58
  And God has very many ways of routing this season to your
• 2:07:04
  life. He does not have to use things
• 2:07:06
  like death and sickness, but He has a way.
• 2:07:09
  I can tell you your strength will eventually fail you and you
• 2:07:13
  will know it's not a demonic thing.
• 2:07:15
  It's not Satan who is behind it. God is giving you a chance to
• 2:07:18
  see how frail you are outside of His help #2 compassion,
• 2:07:25
  compassion, compassion #3 trust, trust, trust.
• 2:07:34
  Not just faith, trust. These are the three things that
• 2:07:37
  this season's build. Let me repeat it again.
• 2:07:39
  It reveals to you how frail, how limited you are.
• 2:07:43
  Your strength is outside of God's help and mercy.
• 2:07:47
  And then in acknowledging your weakness, your weakness is
• 2:07:50
  exchanged for His strength #2 it plans within you compassion for
• 2:07:55
  others. And then #3 it builds trust.
• 2:07:59
  You can even add trust and confidence because a time is
• 2:08:03
  going to come where you will not fear your fears again.
• 2:08:05
  Do you know I've taught you in this house that one of the ways
• 2:08:09
  God delivers you from fear sometimes is not taking the fear
• 2:08:12
  away, is bringing you in the midst of the fear.
• 2:08:15
  You will stare at the fear for a long time, financial fear, court
• 2:08:19
  case, all kinds of trouble, and you sleep and wake up in the
• 2:08:23
  midst of that fear until it no longer has the power to hurt
• 2:08:26
  you. Have you seen that happen to
• 2:08:27
  people? You ran away from your landlord.
• 2:08:30
  You were returning home in the night and leaving in the
• 2:08:33
  morning. One day you say, you know what?
• 2:08:34
  I will take myself to the landlord.
• 2:08:36
  You knock his house and say, Sir, let me tell you the truth,
• 2:08:39
  I can't pay this rent. I'm not a criminal, my father is
• 2:08:41
  dead, my mother is dead, I'm a Kaunania member.
• 2:08:44
  The person looks at you and says God already told me to help you.
• 2:08:47
  At that point there are some fears you will not fear again.
• 2:08:51
  Can I tell you the truth? Many times the way to build
• 2:08:54
  courage and believers is not to take them away from the
• 2:08:57
  challenges is to keep the challenges in the midst of them.
• 2:09:00
  The three Hebrew boys came out of the fire, but they had an
• 2:09:03
  experience they never would have had if they were avoided from
• 2:09:07
  going into the fire. It is true that the lions did
• 2:09:10
  not eat Daniel, but at least he was in proximity with them all
• 2:09:13
  through the night. No matter how friendly a lion
• 2:09:17
  is, if you look at it and it looks at you in a covered hole
• 2:09:21
  all through the night, something will happen to you about
• 2:09:24
  trusting God that would never leave you for the rest of your
• 2:09:27
  life. The real what I said, the lion
• 2:09:30
  does not have to hurt you. The fact that you know there is
• 2:09:33
  no Plan B, the moment there is Plan B, your trust cannot be
• 2:09:44
  trusted. So God brings you to a point
• 2:09:48
  where plan BCEF all fail and you are face to face with what can
• 2:09:53
  destroy you. Then it will show you mercy is
• 2:09:58
  the reason why sometimes you come to preach as you are
• 2:10:00
  lamenting, ah, I lost this. I lost 1 billion.
• 2:10:03
  My life has gone down my car. This one I've done.
• 2:10:06
  My wife said she's leaving me. The man who said have you eaten?
• 2:10:08
  And you're like I'm telling you something serious.
• 2:10:10
  The man who says sit down. Let me tell you my own story and
• 2:10:14
  when he's done telling you his own story, you will see how
• 2:10:16
  small your story is. He now says let's pray and you
• 2:10:19
  can trust God. One of the beautiful things
• 2:10:23
  about these seasons is that they will give you enough stories to
• 2:10:26
  comfort people with. You have not come out of the
• 2:10:29
  seasons if you don't come out with stories.
• 2:10:31
  I'm not talking of make believe stories, real stories.
• 2:10:36
  Time will fail me to talk of Gideon and Jafta and Barack, men
• 2:10:40
  who through faith subdued kingdoms, shut the mouths of
• 2:10:42
  lions. There must be a testimony of
• 2:10:46
  endurance, a testimony of trusting God in the midst of the
• 2:10:50
  fire. Don't forget these three things,
• 2:10:54
  the frailty of your strength outside of the help of God.
• 2:10:58
  One of the benefits of this season of pruning, this season
• 2:11:01
  of testing, this season of proving #2 compassion, because
• 2:11:06
  you are left here alone, is usually a lonely season.
• 2:11:10
  And you see all those who have talked about, those who have
• 2:11:13
  criticized, those who have done a lot of things, and you'll see
• 2:11:16
  that they even had more stamina than you.
• 2:11:19
  It plans compassion in you. And then #3 it helps you to
• 2:11:22
  trust God. Let me give you the third key.
• 2:11:24
  Who is learning something tonight.
• 2:11:28
  Blessed be the name of the Lord. The third is called the season
• 2:11:31
  of appearance for the season of manifestation.
• 2:11:34
  We read that already in Luke chapter 1 from verse 18 when you
• 2:11:39
  read John 2, John 2-3 and four popular scripture, the wedding
• 2:11:43
  in Kena of Galilee, The Bible says and when they wanted wine,
• 2:11:48
  remember the story, the mother of Jesus said unto them, they
• 2:11:51
  have no wine, that's for and Jesus said unto her, woman, what
• 2:11:56
  have I to do with thee? Jesus himself knew that he was
• 2:12:00
  timing. He said my time, my hour, in
• 2:12:04
  other words, my hour for manifestation has not yet come.
• 2:12:09
  Even though he was moving around, invited for a wedding,
• 2:12:12
  but he knew his time had not come.
• 2:12:15
  But because the Bible says we do not have the high priest who has
• 2:12:20
  not been tempted. He was tempted in every way like
• 2:12:23
  us. Yet without sin, there's
• 2:12:24
  compassion. The embarrassment that the
• 2:12:28
  people were going to face in that wedding.
• 2:12:30
  He knew that even though it was not his time, because he had
• 2:12:33
  compassion, he still spoke a miracle for them.
• 2:12:38
  Season of manifestation. Now listen, this is when God
• 2:12:45
  begins to announce you, and I don't have the time to tell you
• 2:12:50
  how God announces men, but there are two principal ways.
• 2:12:54
  Number one, God uses men to announce men.
• 2:12:58
  But #2 God uses a supernatural means, sometimes without the
• 2:13:03
  assistance of any man, to announce men.
• 2:13:08
  God can use men. That is His usual way of
• 2:13:11
  announcing you a platform, an opportunity.
• 2:13:15
  Are we together now to announce you?
• 2:13:18
  How do you know you are your season of manifestation?
• 2:13:22
  The same thing you did yesterday that did not create an effect,
• 2:13:26
  now begins to create such notable effect.
• 2:13:29
  Sometimes you are even flattered.
• 2:13:31
  The same business, you didn't change it.
• 2:13:33
  The same preaching, you didn't change it.
• 2:13:35
  Same anointing when the same thing produces accelerated
• 2:13:40
  results. You have entered your season of
• 2:13:42
  manifestation. There are many things that I
• 2:13:50
  know now, more than I knew before, and there are many areas
• 2:13:54
  where access knowledge. But I can tell you quite
• 2:13:56
  honestly, fundamentally, there are not very many things I'm
• 2:14:01
  doing now that I was not doing before, but it was simply
• 2:14:05
  because of seasons. Are we together now?
• 2:14:09
  The same farmer can throw seeds during dry season and it does
• 2:14:14
  not produce so much. But during the rainy season, he
• 2:14:17
  has an advantage. The weather, the climate,
• 2:14:19
  everything is supporting you. And with little minimal effort,
• 2:14:23
  it'll produce much for someone. And I'm announcing to you by
• 2:14:27
  prophecy, not too long from now, like the page of a book, there's
• 2:14:32
  going to be a flipping of a season.
• 2:14:36
  Hallelujah. Whether it's in ministry or
• 2:14:39
  business. There are people in business who
• 2:14:42
  10 years ago they were not known.
• 2:14:44
  There are people in ministry, 10 years they were not known.
• 2:14:47
  Do you know there are people as little as five years ago they
• 2:14:51
  did not know me. Isn't that incredible?
• 2:14:54
  As little as five years, six years ago, they didn't even know
• 2:14:58
  there was anybody called Joshua Salman.
• 2:15:01
  There is speed. When you enter your season of
• 2:15:03
  appearing, everything announces you everything, animate and
• 2:15:08
  inanimate. It's like something is saying
• 2:15:10
  here ye him, something is saying here ye him, here ye are.
• 2:15:13
  And I'm speaking to someone in the name of Jesus.
• 2:15:16
  I stand tonight as a prophetic midwife to Usher.
• 2:15:20
  You into this season of appearing to usher you into this
• 2:15:24
  season of manifestation in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:15:30
  Hallelujah, I can tell you times.
• 2:15:34
  When God began to open these seasons in my own life, I don't
• 2:15:37
  have time for that. But it's true.
• 2:15:40
  There are some of you doing businesses now.
• 2:15:43
  Do you know there are certain businesses that have been longer
• 2:15:47
  than people knew, but they were in a season of testing.
• 2:15:50
  The businesses were in Abuja here, they were in Nigeria here.
• 2:15:54
  They tried the remodel, remodel. Nothing happened.
• 2:15:58
  But in a certain season, sometimes within one month, are
• 2:16:01
  there no gospel singers in this country?
• 2:16:04
  They've always been there. But a season comes.
• 2:16:07
  You hear people even say it's your time, and they are right.
• 2:16:09
  It's your time. It's your time, your time.
• 2:16:21
  I'm telling you, when it is your season, little things can
• 2:16:24
  announce you, Little God can invite you as a man of God to go
• 2:16:28
  and preach somewhere and just make all your destiny.
• 2:16:32
  Help us to follow that program and everybody says who is this
• 2:16:35
  from where? Without any effort on your part.
• 2:16:39
  I need to tell you something about this season before we pray
• 2:16:42
  tonight because it is a very sensitive season.
• 2:16:45
  If you don't know how to manage it, you can lose the blessings
• 2:16:49
  that come with the season. This season can flatter you.
• 2:16:53
  You get to a point where, because you are coming into the
• 2:16:56
  consciousness of people, you become sometimes for want of
• 2:16:59
  word, a celebrity overnight. Now you have to glean from your
• 2:17:04
  trainings of your season of pruning to be able to navigate
• 2:17:08
  this season well. Otherwise you will make careless
• 2:17:11
  mistakes and the season will end up becoming a cause for you.
• 2:17:18
  It is in this season people forget God.
• 2:17:21
  It is in this season people forget their scars.
• 2:17:24
  It is in this season. That's why he warned them.
• 2:17:27
  In Deuteronomy chapter 8 he says let it not be that when you are
• 2:17:30
  built houses, when everything has multiplied, the season of
• 2:17:34
  appearing is a season of multiplication. 10 jobs.
• 2:17:40
  You are not necessarily praying about jobs, but jobs are coming
• 2:17:43
  everywhere. All of a sudden you become a
• 2:17:45
  tech brand that everyone wants to patronize and you are
• 2:17:49
  wondering. You struggle for visa for years
• 2:17:53
  and not get it. But in that season it's like you
• 2:17:56
  are meeting every helper. They can stamp visas of
• 2:17:58
  everywhere. Life just becomes easy.
• 2:18:02
  Can I tell you if you don't learn the dynamics of working in
• 2:18:05
  this season, great things can become A cause in your life in
• 2:18:09
  that season. Let me give you 4 things to do
• 2:18:11
  when you are in this season quickly.
• 2:18:13
  I pray that God is speaking to you #1 when you step into your
• 2:18:19
  season of manifestation, your season of appearance number one,
• 2:18:25
  the first thing you need to do is perpetually acknowledge God
• 2:18:30
  in the presence of all who celebrate you.
• 2:18:33
  Perpetually acknowledge God in the presence of all who
• 2:18:38
  celebrate you. Proverbs chapter 3, five to
• 2:18:40
  seven, perpetually acknowledge God.
• 2:18:44
  Please don't forget this. Write it down.
• 2:18:46
  Perpetually acknowledge God in the presence of those who
• 2:18:51
  celebrate you. If you become ashamed of the one
• 2:18:55
  who lifted you in the presence of those who celebrate you, then
• 2:18:59
  those who celebrate you one day will say crucify him.
• 2:19:04
  When God lifts you and you step into your season of appearing,
• 2:19:08
  whether in ministry, they will call you all kinds of names,
• 2:19:12
  Apostle Joshua sermon, you are the only apostle in the world
• 2:19:16
  and all those kinds of names. It is up to you to perpetually
• 2:19:21
  acknowledge God. It's a culture I have trained
• 2:19:25
  myself. I learned this from the life of
• 2:19:27
  our Father and the Lord that did you in his 80s.
• 2:19:31
  Even sometimes if it's on background.
• 2:19:33
  He has created a system. You may not have to kneel like
• 2:19:36
  him, but it's his way of letting the world know that even at it
• 2:19:40
  is something. I am nothing without him.
• 2:19:45
  Beware of the deception of being a celebrity.
• 2:19:48
  Go and find out the end of many celebrities.
• 2:19:52
  There are no self-made people in this Kingdom.
• 2:19:55
  Greatness is a trust and when God brings you to the point
• 2:19:59
  where you emerge, where you are boarding like a tree, you become
• 2:20:03
  a giant oak tree. Many other birds and animals
• 2:20:06
  come to nest around you. You must acknowledge God.
• 2:20:10
  He's made you a multi millionaire now.
• 2:20:13
  He's made you a billionaire now. The palace has eroded your pain
• 2:20:17
  of the wilderness. Make sure you do not forget him.
• 2:20:22
  If there is anything I fight in my life.
• 2:20:26
  There is any opportunity that puts me in a place where I
• 2:20:29
  forget God. I've told God time and time
• 2:20:33
  again, and I'm saying it now even as I'm preaching, that if
• 2:20:36
  there is any opportunity He will give me that will make me have
• 2:20:40
  to fight His place in my life, may it never come.
• 2:20:43
  I'd rather be a failure letting men see Him than to claim
• 2:20:47
  success by my own strength. That's why when people brag and
• 2:20:51
  say they are getting this, because of this, I keep quiet.
• 2:20:53
  I know how my own game. I'm a product of God's mercy.
• 2:20:57
  Mercy Church is quiet. I hope you are getting this now.
• 2:21:04
  Perpetually acknowledge God #2 what do you do when you get into
• 2:21:08
  your season of appearing? Build a system that protects
• 2:21:17
  your convictions and a system that protects the spiritual
• 2:21:25
  activities that maintain your fire.
• 2:21:29
  Build a system that protects your convictions and a system
• 2:21:34
  that protects your spiritual activities like prayer.
• 2:21:42
  In other words, you protect the continuity of your practicing
• 2:21:48
  the things that brought you to that realm.
• 2:21:50
  Build a system that protects your convictions and a system
• 2:21:59
  for your continuous. I read it as I'm writing here
• 2:22:02
  for your continuous spiritual and mental growth.
• 2:22:07
  That means when you get into the season of appearing, chances are
• 2:22:11
  excellent you can be distracted. But you must build a system that
• 2:22:15
  protects your convictions. Build a system that can allow
• 2:22:20
  you to continue the spiritual and mental activities that
• 2:22:24
  brought you to become a champion.
• 2:22:26
  In other words, build a system that protects your prayer life.
• 2:22:31
  Build a system that protects your values.
• 2:22:34
  Build a system that protects your world.
• 2:22:36
  Study life. We find that in Acts chapter 6
• 2:22:39
  from verse 4. When the church started growing,
• 2:22:42
  the church was expanding. They now wanted the apostles to
• 2:22:46
  live the matter of ministry, prayer and the world and start
• 2:22:50
  focusing on welfare and the apostle said no, this is a
• 2:22:53
  distraction. Get 7 men full of wisdom and the
• 2:22:56
  Holy Ghost appoint them over this business was for but for us
• 2:23:01
  we will give ourselves continually someone say
• 2:23:04
  continually one more time, say continually not circumstantially
• 2:23:10
  continually to prayer and to the ministry of the world.
• 2:23:14
  Can I tell you whatever brought you to the top, do not leave it.
• 2:23:19
  Do not leave it. If loyalty brought you to the
• 2:23:23
  top, hold it. If godliness brought you to the
• 2:23:26
  top, hold it. If prayer brought you to the
• 2:23:29
  top, hold it. If wisdom brought you to the
• 2:23:32
  top, hold it. Because you get to a point where
• 2:23:36
  the anchor you are holding on as men clap for you, looking at you
• 2:23:40
  with such God like admiration. Sometimes you forget that you
• 2:23:44
  are holding on to something. That's why you are there.
• 2:23:46
  You can live whatever you are holding on to.
• 2:23:49
  Focusing on the uploads of men and the fall will be harder
• 2:23:53
  because you are falling from an altitude.
• 2:23:57
  It's good to receive honor from men.
• 2:23:59
  Nothing wrong. I've received many, many awards
• 2:24:03
  in my life and sometimes I take them quickly away from me.
• 2:24:07
  As much as I appreciate those awards, they can be very
• 2:24:10
  deceptive. While they are thanking you for
• 2:24:14
  where you have come, sometimes they become a blockade to where
• 2:24:18
  you need to go to #1 Perpetually acknowledge God #2 build systems
• 2:24:25
  that protect your conviction and systems for your continuous
• 2:24:34
  spiritual and mental growth #3 Build quality pro destiny
• 2:24:42
  relationships. Leverage on that influence.
• 2:24:46
  Leverage on the advantage of your being renowned to build
• 2:24:51
  quality relationships, quality relationships, quality
• 2:24:57
  relationships. Now I will tell you something
• 2:24:59
  about relationships. As much as possible.
• 2:25:03
  Don't throw away those who believed in you when you wear
• 2:25:07
  nothing. Do you know what I said?
• 2:25:10
  When you step into your season of appearance, trust reduces
• 2:25:14
  because those who watch you are watching your crowns.
• 2:25:17
  There are clothes on you now. They can't see your scars, but
• 2:25:21
  there are people who know your scars.
• 2:25:23
  Sometimes the flat tree of seasons of appearing.
• 2:25:26
  Is that because we're in a hurry to change relationships?
• 2:25:30
  You can have relationships that have a physical advantage but is
• 2:25:34
  full of betrayers and liars and sycophants.
• 2:25:38
  There are so many great people today who have been pierced and
• 2:25:41
  wounded because they are surrounded by liars and
• 2:25:44
  sycophants. Who will not say yes Sir to a
• 2:25:47
  rich man when they see money? Who will not say yes Sir to an
• 2:25:50
  anointed man when they see anointed?
• 2:25:51
  Who will not say yes Sir to someone who is a captain Having
• 2:25:55
  influence over people? You must be aware in the midst
• 2:26:00
  of the many yes sirs, in the midst of people shouting, King
• 2:26:04
  of Kings, celebrity, you must sustain the eye of the Spirit to
• 2:26:08
  discern Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord, Build quality
• 2:26:16
  relationships. Is someone learning?
• 2:26:19
  Now let me give you the last instruction when you get into
• 2:26:22
  your season of appearing, raise men.
• 2:26:25
  Who will preserve and extend your relevance.
• 2:26:29
  Raise men who will preserve and extend your relevance.
• 2:26:35
  If you fail at this one, you will not last.
• 2:26:39
  Raise men. Don't get carried away by the
• 2:26:43
  honor, the accolades, or the good doings of God in your life
• 2:26:47
  that you forget to raise men because no matter how
• 2:26:52
  exceptional you are on stage, life is in seasons.
• 2:26:56
  One day you will not be the one on that stage, whether you like
• 2:26:59
  it or not. You may not have to be the one
• 2:27:03
  on the stage, but you can remain relevant because the one on the
• 2:27:07
  stage, you have a testimony of raising them.
• 2:27:10
  Are we together now? Let me tell you this, one of the
• 2:27:14
  most tragic things in life is to once be great, once be a
• 2:27:19
  celebrity, once be an anointed man, that in your lifetime you
• 2:27:24
  lose Kingdom relevance. The reason is because you were
• 2:27:28
  so carried away by your success, you forgot to raise men.
• 2:27:33
  And this is true for a man of God.
• 2:27:36
  I don't care how great you are, show me the people you are
• 2:27:39
  raising. If you raise them and they
• 2:27:41
  decide to be rebellious, that's a lot.
• 2:27:44
  But raise men. Politicians raise men.
• 2:27:48
  Now that you are in office, raise men.
• 2:27:51
  Don't just what people tell you. Yes Sir.
• 2:27:53
  Raisman captains of industry. Raisman, today you are a
• 2:27:57
  director, you are a CEO. Raisman.
• 2:28:00
  Let somebody get a job because of you, not from a selfish way
• 2:28:04
  so that tomorrow they take care of you.
• 2:28:06
  But I can tell you, you will reap what you sow.
• 2:28:09
  Show mankindness. Raisman I have the honor and
• 2:28:16
  privilege of supporting different groups, church groups
• 2:28:19
  and other groups, and I do that with joy.
• 2:28:21
  I don't do that just because I'm investing in them for selfish
• 2:28:25
  reasons. But I can tell you by the grace
• 2:28:27
  of God, those things invariably will speak in your future.
• 2:28:33
  Raise men. I've seen many great people who
• 2:28:37
  pass orders and people who just greet them.
• 2:28:39
  Yes, Sir. And as soon as they turn the
• 2:28:41
  frown faces and say this person in his hand is like this, this
• 2:28:45
  person is this. Let that not be your testimony.
• 2:28:48
  Raise men. You are not called to raise
• 2:28:50
  everybody, but raise somebody, make somebody's life better,
• 2:28:54
  become a leverage to someone. And tomorrow when life pushes
• 2:29:01
  you out of the stage, someone who is on the stage will bring
• 2:29:05
  you back to the stage and announce to people and say, even
• 2:29:09
  though his season is over, are we together?
• 2:29:12
  Because this person invested in my life, I want you to know
• 2:29:15
  there are fathers today. The only thing that will fade
• 2:29:19
  them away is death. In fact, not even death can fade
• 2:29:23
  them away because they have their signature in
• 2:29:26
  righteousness. In the life and the history of
• 2:29:29
  too many people, there are politicians who have
• 2:29:33
  immortalized their impact already.
• 2:29:35
  Even if they die today, they are still alive in people.
• 2:29:39
  There are some persons that are not really of renown, but they
• 2:29:43
  have raised people. Someone like Doctor Miles
• 2:29:45
  Monroe, he's long dead, but some of us today who are
• 2:29:49
  beneficiaries of his mentorship, we are still immortalizing his
• 2:29:53
  impact. We shout his impact to the
• 2:29:55
  nations that he modeled many things to our lives.
• 2:29:59
  The question is, who will remember you when seasons
• 2:30:02
  change? Who will remember you?
• 2:30:07
  Joshua Salman, people are celebrating you now.
• 2:30:09
  Who will remember you whether you like it or not, Seasons will
• 2:30:13
  change. If you are not raising men
• 2:30:16
  today, you are not investing in anybody's destiny.
• 2:30:20
  I'm not talking of yoking people with a selfish proposition so
• 2:30:24
  you can use them in the future. Genuinely loving people and
• 2:30:28
  raising them. This is how to maximize a season
• 2:30:31
  of appearing. Ladies and gentlemen, there is
• 2:30:33
  an emergence happening in the body of Christ right now and
• 2:30:36
  among the many seasons that are upon men.
• 2:30:39
  These three seasons are important.
• 2:30:41
  The seasons of discovery and preparation, the seasons of
• 2:30:47
  proving and testing, then the seasons of manifestation or your
• 2:30:53
  appearing. My prayer for you tonight is
• 2:30:57
  that at whatever level you are in any of these seasons, may you
• 2:31:01
  pass the test and may you last. I refer you to my message,
• 2:31:08
  Ichabod, obtaining the grace to last.
• 2:31:12
  You need to obtain the grace to last.
• 2:31:14
  I also refer you to my message, the strategy for consistency.
• 2:31:18
  Listen to these two messages. God is a God that gives
• 2:31:22
  longevity to impact. If you want to add a third one,
• 2:31:25
  you can add the law of Seasons, Unraveling the mystery of
• 2:31:30
  Pharaoh's dream. Seven years of plenty followed
• 2:31:33
  by 7 years of nothing in my life.
• 2:31:37
  And as much as God has helped me, I don't want to just be
• 2:31:40
  known as a man who was so anointed and who had great
• 2:31:43
  influence over people. I also want to be known as a man
• 2:31:46
  who loved God with all my heart and inspired a generation to
• 2:31:51
  seek Him sincerely. And while I was at that, that I
• 2:31:54
  was able to raise as many to give them an opportunity to
• 2:31:58
  taste, to become vessels of glory is the reason why I spend
• 2:32:02
  my life day in, day out week outstretching myself, doing the
• 2:32:07
  things that I'm doing. I don't have to do what I'm
• 2:32:09
  doing. It is a passion that God has
• 2:32:12
  given me this unique privilege. He's placed me in a unique
• 2:32:16
  position of influence. I'm not the first to stand where
• 2:32:19
  I'm standing. There are others who stood here.
• 2:32:22
  They've gone to be with the Lord.
• 2:32:24
  They gave way. Now it's our season and this is
• 2:32:27
  part of us maximizing this season.
• 2:32:30
  And Kononia, hear me, it is my prayer that in my lifetime I
• 2:32:34
  will see everyone emerge, that many more apostles will rise,
• 2:32:40
  many more prophets will rise, many more Kingdom entrepreneurs
• 2:32:44
  will rise. That governors and presidents
• 2:32:47
  under this influence, this grace, this mentorship, they
• 2:32:50
  will arise not just in Nigeria but across Africa that a day
• 2:32:54
  will come when we enter a nation.
• 2:32:56
  The president will say, I'm a faithful member of Koinonia and
• 2:33:00
  I'm leading my nation from the value system that has come from
• 2:33:03
  here. That you get to the crusade
• 2:33:05
  ground and the man of God frontiering the program of God
• 2:33:08
  within that nation who say apostle.
• 2:33:10
  The reason why I'm lusting today is because I listen to your
• 2:33:14
  message on emergence and I learn how seasons, but the glory of
• 2:33:18
  God. It is my prayer for you that
• 2:33:21
  this message will not be a disadvantage to you.
• 2:33:24
  Rise up on your feet, hold the hands of someone and let's pray.
• 2:33:30
  Rise up on your feet, hold someone's hands in one minute.
• 2:33:33
  Please pray. Father, thank you for your word
• 2:33:38
  tonight. You're holding someone's hand
• 2:33:45
  and thanking Him. Blessed are your ears for these
• 2:33:48
  that they have heard. You've been rescued from making
• 2:33:54
  life destroying, damaging decisions.
• 2:33:58
  This is a. Power of God's Word comes to
• 2:34:01
  give you intelligence. One minute.
• 2:34:03
  Please go ahead and pray one minute sing that song Hosanna
• 2:34:10
  for me and then we are going to pray.
• 2:34:13
  Father, thank you. Now begin to intercede for
• 2:34:16
  yourself. Be the first intercessor for
• 2:34:18
  your destiny tonight. Lord, I do not want to lose this
• 2:34:21
  strategic seasons of my life. These are the seasons that
• 2:34:25
  sponsor. Imagines.
• 2:34:28
  Go ahead and pray. I like you to pray everyone of
• 2:35:24
  these seasons. Lord, let me not feel the test.
• 2:35:28
  If you have missed out on your season of preparation and
• 2:35:32
  discovery, I like you to cry and say, Lord, by your mercy, bring
• 2:35:36
  back these seasons for me. I can catch up by your.
• 2:35:39
  Spirit, even if it is one year, give me that probation for one
• 2:35:44
  year. Let me catch up by your Spirit.
• 2:35:47
  Let me learn the things that makes for stature.
• 2:35:50
  Let me learn the things that make for stability through
• 2:35:54
  carelessness. I have missed out on these
• 2:35:58
  seasons. I didn't know when my season of
• 2:36:00
  preparation, my season of discovery, came and passed.
• 2:36:06
  I did not have the sensitivity of the sons of Issacha.
• 2:36:10
  I could not discern the times. I didn't know what to do.
• 2:36:15
  Now I'm 20, I'm 30, I'm 40, I'm 50, I'm 60.
• 2:36:21
  But the Bible says there is hope for a tree, even if it be cut
• 2:36:25
  off at the center of what I will board again.
• 2:36:29
  Someone pray. Bring back decisions by your
• 2:36:34
  messy. Some of you wasted decisions
• 2:36:37
  like the prodigal soul. You had a plethora of privileges
• 2:36:42
  around you. You abused through carelessness,
• 2:36:45
  through insensitivity, through wrong decisions, destiny
• 2:36:50
  sabotaging decisions. Cry for messy Lord, show me
• 2:36:54
  mercy. Let the hand of the clock go
• 2:36:56
  back for my sake. Give me an opportunity again to
• 2:37:00
  learn God. Give me an opportunity again to
• 2:37:04
  discover myself in prophecy, to discover myself in light of
• 2:37:08
  Christ. Give me an opportunity to
• 2:37:12
  discover my giftings, my abilities, the spiritual
• 2:37:16
  investments you put within me. Give me an opportunity to find
• 2:37:20
  my role in the grand scheme of prophecy.
• 2:37:25
  Go ahead and pray. For those of you who are in the
• 2:37:28
  season of pruning, open your mouth and pray.
• 2:37:31
  I receive the staying power, the grace to call you faithful even
• 2:37:37
  when I do not understand you. The grace to stay and to remain
• 2:37:41
  like Job that all the days of of my my appointed time.
• 2:37:47
  I will wait. I will wait, I will wait.
• 2:37:53
  I will wait all the days of my appointed time.
• 2:37:56
  I will wait until my change comes, until an emergence
• 2:38:00
  happens. Go ahead and pray the grace to
• 2:38:03
  call you faithful. Even when I cry in the midst of
• 2:38:07
  disappointments, in the midst of fire, in the midst of scorpions,
• 2:38:12
  in the midst of unfavorable situations, when my prayer life
• 2:38:17
  does not seem to deliver, when righteousness seems to be a
• 2:38:21
  disadvantage, when my knowing you does not seem to yield
• 2:38:24
  immediate profit. I received the stamina, the
• 2:38:28
  grace to at last this season, for those of you who are already
• 2:38:34
  in your season of emergence, you are being known.
• 2:38:38
  Your generation has received you.
• 2:38:41
  They are receiving you. They are singing Hosanna.
• 2:38:44
  Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
• 2:38:46
  Pray for grace to perpetually acknowledge God as the basis for
• 2:38:52
  everything good in your life. Obtain grace to create systems
• 2:39:00
  that protect your conviction, that protect your consecration,
• 2:39:04
  that protect your prayer life. Protect your word life.
• 2:39:08
  Protect your your studious habits.
• 2:39:17
  Obtain grace to identify. And build strategic
• 2:39:21
  relationships and then obtain grace to be able to raise orders
• 2:39:28
  that there will be continuity to God's program because of your
• 2:39:32
  efficient and effective witness. In Jesus mighty name we pray,
• 2:39:42
  Amen and Amen. I'm going to make the altar call
• 2:39:45
  down. Tonight is a very serious night,
• 2:39:49
  ladies and gentlemen. We are in the days of his power,
• 2:39:52
  and the Bible says that people shall be willing.
• 2:39:55
  And it's a risk, especially in the days that we're in now, to
• 2:39:59
  reject Jesus. I told you that the believer
• 2:40:02
  must be a product of encounters for certain.
• 2:40:05
  I know that there are people in this place tonight.
• 2:40:08
  In the main hall, all the overflows outside and those
• 2:40:10
  falling online who are saying, apostle, if you will give me a
• 2:40:14
  chance with Jesus, I want to win this war.
• 2:40:16
  My father never introduced me to Jesus.
• 2:40:19
  My mother didn't. My siblings didn't.
• 2:40:21
  All those who went ahead of me didn't.
• 2:40:23
  But now that I hear your voice, I want to make it right with
• 2:40:27
  Jesus. Wherever you are, I'm going to
• 2:40:29
  count 1 to 5 without any coercion.
• 2:40:32
  I'd like you to leave your seat and run here.
• 2:40:35
  And you are saying apostle. I also want to rededicate my
• 2:40:38
  life to Jesus. Please pick your bags, your
• 2:40:40
  Bibles, everything you came to church with, and I'd like you to
• 2:40:43
  be on your way gallantly. Don't be afraid, don't be
• 2:40:45
  ashamed. Don't wait for someone before
• 2:40:48
  you come. This is you and Jesus.
• 2:40:50
  Let's honor them as they come. God bless you.
• 2:40:53
  God bless you. I'm counting 5 And I begin to
• 2:40:56
  pray. God bless you my dear one.
• 2:40:58
  God bless you. Come, come.
• 2:41:02
  Cardonia, is this the best you can do?
• 2:41:04
  Celebrate them as they come. 2 God bless you.
• 2:41:14
  God bless you. There are nations that would
• 2:41:17
  thank God for this decision you are making tonight.
• 2:41:19
  Let's encourage them as they come.
• 2:41:21
  Three, keep coming. Run to Jesus, run to Jesus.
• 2:41:29
  Those who are falling online, here's your chance to make Jesus
• 2:41:33
  Lord of your life, whether by way of television Internet.
• 2:41:37
  Here's your chance. As I pray with these ones, I'd
• 2:41:39
  like you to join, believing that today's your day of salvation.
• 2:41:43
  I still see a few people coming from the back.
• 2:41:45
  Can you make haste? Come quickly. 4.
• 2:41:51
  All those are the overflows. You may move to your LED screens
• 2:41:54
  and just stand there and that will be sufficient for this
• 2:41:57
  call. Final call 5.
• 2:42:01
  Let's give Jesus a big hand clap for this many who have come to
• 2:42:04
  Jesus. Hallelujah my brothers and my
• 2:42:08
  sisters, listen to me. It is a noble thing to make it
• 2:42:12
  right with Jesus. The Bible says as many who will
• 2:42:15
  come to him, he will in no wise castaway.
• 2:42:18
  Don't feel condemned. This is a family that loves you
• 2:42:21
  where reflection of the love of Jesus.
• 2:42:24
  It is for your sake that he gathered us here tonight.
• 2:42:27
  May I request that you lift your right hand as a sign of
• 2:42:30
  surrender to this Jesus who loved you so much and gave
• 2:42:33
  himself for you. Say after me as loud and as
• 2:42:36
  clear as you can. Say Lord Jesus one more time.
• 2:42:39
  Say it again loud and clear. Lord Jesus, tonight I have heard
• 2:42:44
  your word. I love you with all my heart.
• 2:42:49
  I believe that you are the Son of God.
• 2:42:54
  I believe that you died for my sin right now.
• 2:42:59
  I received Jesus into my heart as my Savior, my Lord, and my
• 2:43:07
  King. I declare that the power, say,
• 2:43:12
  of sin, of Satan, of hell, and of the grave is broken over my
• 2:43:19
  life from tonight. I'm a child of God.
• 2:43:23
  I go forward ever and backward never.
• 2:43:27
  Amen. Father, I speak the blessing
• 2:43:29
  upon these ones. The Bible declares that as many
• 2:43:31
  who will come to you, you will in no wise castaway.
• 2:43:34
  I declare based on the authority of God's Word that your sins are
• 2:43:37
  forgiven from tonight. You are called bona fide
• 2:43:40
  recipients of his life, partakers of his life and grace,
• 2:43:44
  and I declare upon you the grace will live.
• 2:43:46
  The victorious Christian life is hereby released upon you.
• 2:43:49
  I call you not guilty by the power of the Holy Spirit in the
• 2:43:52
  name of Jesus. You go for whatever and back
• 2:43:55
  whatever in Jesus matchless name we pray.
• 2:43:59
  Please look to my rights. That will be your left.
• 2:44:01
  There are counselors waving the placard.
• 2:44:03
  Please follow them as we appreciate you.
