  Father, we ask in the name of Jesus that you will change our
• 1:01

• 1:12
  way. Bless our hearts, change our
• 1:16
  lives, reawaken the fire that's been lost in the lives of many
• 1:23
  and we declare that Jesus will be glorified for it's in Jesus
• 1:28
  mighty name we pray, Amen. First of all, God bless you and
• 1:35
  your dear wife. Thank you, Hallelujah.
• 1:43
  In Jesus name we pray, please, you may be seated.
• 1:48
  Good evening, everybody. Hallelujah.
• 1:56
  Hallelujah. Yeah.
• 2:00
  Thank you, Thank you. May God bless you.
• 2:03
  May God bless you. In Jesus name, I want to
• 2:07
  sincerely congratulate Pastor Bola, Gianni's dear wife, for
• 2:12
  this beautiful facility and the leadership of this great church.
• 2:20
  Just a moment. It is a beautiful thing when you
• 2:23
  see faith produce, when the word of God produces in the life of a
• 2:29
  man, in the life of a people, it truly brings glory to the name
• 2:33
  of the Lord. And we salute the diligence of
• 2:37
  faith. God bless you, Sir.
• 2:39
  God bless you, man. Hallelujah.
• 2:43
  I have a few minutes tonight and I want to make use of it.
• 2:48
  It's been an incredible time. I want to believe from speaker
• 2:51
  after speaker, and the Word of God is going to be coming to us,
• 2:57
  and I want to crave your indulgence, that you please pay
• 3:02
  rapt attention, because as the Word comes, many things come
• 3:07
  with the Word. Healing comes with the Word,
• 3:10
  restoration comes with the Word, liftings come with the Word in
• 3:14
  the name of Jesus Christ. Your portion tonight will rest
• 3:18
  on you mightily. That portion of grace will rest
• 3:22
  upon you. That portion of wisdom will rest
• 3:25
  upon you for someone, my God will turn you into a sign and a
• 3:29
  wonder in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 3:39
  So we'll be discussing for a few minutes along your theme were
• 3:44
  considering awakenings and I was very touched when I saw the
• 3:48
  theme because I'm a student of revival.
• 3:53
  I have studied the moves of God and I have seen what God is able
• 3:57
  to do in the life of an individual, in the life of a
• 4:01
  people in a territory if and when we understand the
• 4:05
  principles that ignite and keep the move of God.
• 4:11
  And so I want to talk for a few minutes and I'm hoping that this
• 4:15
  will be a great contribution to someone's spiritual life.
• 4:18
  In Jesus name we pray. Very quickly, what is an
• 4:23
  awakening? You know, we talk a lot about
• 4:25
  the moves of God, revivals, you know, renewals and awakenings.
• 4:32
  I define awakenings as a moment of restored or heightened God
• 4:39
  consciousness. A moment of restored or
• 4:44
  heightened God consciousness. The mean meaning.
• 4:47
  That this is a moment where God is able to restore God
• 4:50
  consciousness or heighten God consciousness.
• 4:57
  It is a moment of passion for God with a renewed determination
• 5:06
  to love Him, to know Him, to live for him.
• 5:10
  I'm defining an awakening. It is a moment that is
• 5:14
  characterized by passion for God with a renewed determination to
• 5:20
  know Him, to love Him, and to live for Him.
• 5:24
  Let's look at Second Chronicles 15 from verse 12.
• 5:28
  Second Chronicles 15 from verse 12.
• 5:34
  And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their
• 5:39
  fathers with all their heart and with all their soul, that
• 5:44
  whosoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put
• 5:48
  to death, whether small or great.
• 5:51
  I'm showing you the character of an awakening, whether man or
• 5:54
  woman. Verse 1514 Now.
• 5:58
  And they swear on to the Lord with a loud voice, and with
• 6:01
  shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
• 6:04
  Verse 15. And all Judah rejoiced at the
• 6:08
  oath, for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him
• 6:13
  with their whole desire, the Bible says.
• 6:16
  And he was found of them, and the Lord gave them rest round
• 6:23
  about. Praise the name of the Lord
• 6:27
  Second Scripture very quickly. Ephesians chapter 5 S Paul is
• 6:32
  teaching the church in Ephesus and then he comes a very
• 6:35
  important subject from verse 14, Ephesians chapter 5 and verse
• 6:40
  14. He now says, Wherefore he saith,
• 6:45
  Awake down that sleepest, and arise from the dead.
• 6:51
  Then he says, And Christ shall give delight.
• 6:55
  So he's talking to a people. Who?
• 6:58
  Is challenging them towards their spiritual vibrancy and he
• 7:01
  uses an expression of sleep and I want us to talk a bit about
• 7:06
  that. He says I wake thou that sleep
• 7:09
  as you who are asleep. The Bible says and arise from
• 7:12
  the dead and Christ will give you life in Matthew chapter 13
• 7:19
  when you read from verse 24 and 25 Jesus was given a parable as
• 7:23
  his custom was he taught in parables and the Bible says
• 7:27
  another. Parable put he forth unto them,
• 7:30
  saying, The Kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man, which soweth
• 7:35
  good seed in his field. Then he says, But while man
• 7:41
  slept, so that was the issue. While men slept, someone took
• 7:46
  advantage of that state of sleep, took advantage of that
• 7:50
  state of slumber, and also saw tears among the wheat and went
• 7:55
  his way. And you know the remaining part
• 7:57
  of the story. Sleep in the Bible generally has
• 8:02
  been used both negatively and positively.
• 8:05
  For instance, when the Bible talks about God giving his
• 8:09
  beloved sleep, that is in a positive sense.
• 8:12
  But generally speaking, when we talk about sleep, and I'm using
• 8:15
  that to connect with the subject of awakening.
• 8:17
  So the Bible says if a man is not awakened spiritually, the
• 8:22
  opposite of that is that he's in a state of sleep.
• 8:25
  Are we together? And there's been 3 expressions
• 8:28
  of sleep according to scripture. I'll just run it quickly #1 When
• 8:33
  the Bible talks about sleep, it is the natural expression of it,
• 8:37
  as we know. Rest from exhaustion, rest from,
• 8:43
  you know, tiredness after a day's work, and so on and so
• 8:46
  forth. You find that for instance in
• 8:49
  Psalm 4 and verse 8. Psalm 4 and verse 8 an example
• 8:54
  of sleep as we know Psalm chapter 4 and verse 8.
• 8:58
  It says I will both lay me down in peace and sleep.
• 9:01
  For thou Lord, only makers me to dwell in safety.
• 9:05
  So this definition of sleep talks about rest.
• 9:08
  The rest that brings refreshing #2 The Bible likens the
• 9:13
  transition of a believer, what we call the death of a believer,
• 9:18
  as sleeping. Praise the name of the Lord,
• 9:21
  Amen in Psalm 13 anniversary. Psalm 13 anniversary.
• 9:28
  I'm just running through this preliminary 13 anniversary.
• 9:31
  It says consider and hear me, O Lord my God.
• 9:35
  It says, lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death.
• 9:41
  So sleep. Can be likened death can be
• 9:45
  likened to sleep, particularly for believers who are in Christ.
• 9:49
  Paul took our time in Fest. Thessalonians from verse 4 to
• 9:54
  comfort believers by giving them understanding of what happens
• 9:57
  when believers sleep and what will happen at the resurrection.
• 10:01
  The third expression of sleep, and that's our concern for
• 10:05
  tonight, is a state of spiritual decline.
• 10:10
  State of spiritual decline as we find in Matthew 1325 and
• 10:15
  Ephesians 5 and verse 14. So sleep, there is not just
• 10:19
  talking about the rest that brings refreshing, nor is it
• 10:22
  talking about death, cessation of life as far as life on earth
• 10:25
  is concerned that an individual from a spiritual standpoint can
• 10:30
  be in a state of sleep. And if you study sleep, I'm not,
• 10:36
  I'm not a medical doctor, but then I know this much about
• 10:40
  sleep, that there are two characteristic features that
• 10:44
  really show that a person is asleep.
• 10:46
  Number one, you lose consciousness of your immediate
• 10:50
  environment. Am I right on that?
• 10:52
  Now your position doesn't really matter.
• 10:55
  There are people who can sleep. Standing.
• 10:57
  I mean literally, am I right on that?
• 11:00
  You will think they're looking at you.
• 11:01
  There are those who even sleep with their eyes open, but they
• 11:04
  are asleep and while you are wasting your time talking to
• 11:07
  them that they're not there at all.
• 11:09
  Some can just lean gently and you think they're thinking, but
• 11:12
  they're gone. So the position doesn't really
• 11:15
  matter. But one thing that characterizes
• 11:18
  sleep is that you lose consciousness of your immediate
• 11:22
  environment #2 you lose sensitivity.
• 11:27
  It will take an extra effort to wake someone or pass a message
• 11:32
  across to someone who is asleep. Am I right on that?
• 11:35
  Now you're all awake. If I say, for instance, motion
• 11:38
  my hand to rise, you see, with with minimal effort, you
• 11:42
  understand what I'm saying. But if you are asleep, I may
• 11:45
  have to go down and tap you. And my goodness, there are
• 11:48
  people who you have to tap and tap and call their names and
• 11:52
  sing songs and alarm and whatever before they now
• 11:54
  stretch. Are we together now?
• 11:56
  So these things are very important because when the Bible
• 11:59
  says awake thou that sleepest, that already defines a spiritual
• 12:04
  condition that by reason. Of this state called sleep this.
• 12:10
  This man is not even conscious of the spiritual things that are
• 12:13
  happening around him, nor is he sensitive.
• 12:16
  There are things that can come from the Spirit, by the spirit
• 12:20
  for your destiny, but because you are in a state of sleep, you
• 12:24
  are not able to perceive. Are we together now?
• 12:29
  Praise the name of the Lord. Jacob said the Lord was in this
• 12:32
  place and I knew not, and as a result, he would spend over 20
• 12:37
  years in the House of Lebanon by the time the Lord will come back
• 12:41
  to him in Genesis 32. He was prepared.
• 12:44
  He dismissed every other thing and was sensitive.
• 12:47
  He held on to him until his name changed from Jacob to Israel.
• 12:52
  Are we learning now? Now very quickly, very quickly.
• 12:56
  Let's address this issue of spiritual decline.
• 13:01
  I am very passionate about seeing people vibrant
• 13:05
  spiritually because I know that when your spiritual life and
• 13:10
  your spiritual vibrancy fails, it's a matter of time.
• 13:14
  Every other aspect of your life will begin to reflect the
• 13:18
  bankruptcy of fire in the spirit, your finances, your
• 13:22
  health. Are we together?
• 13:24
  Praise the name of the Lord. Yeah, a man's spiritual life
• 13:29
  controls the health of every other thing around him.
• 13:33
  And for a while you will think your spiritual life is not
• 13:36
  connected to finances, not connected to health, not
• 13:39
  connected to whatever it is, until Satan successfully attacks
• 13:44
  your spiritual life and then you find out that every other aspect
• 13:48
  of your life begins to decline. Are we learning now?
• 13:53
  I want to give us for this discussion very quickly and this
• 13:56
  is something that God has taught me.
• 13:59
  I will show you 5 signs of a life that is declining
• 14:03
  spiritually. And as you listen, I want you to
• 14:05
  use this and examine yourself. And if you find out that any of
• 14:10
  these 5 signs is at work in your life or applicable to you, then
• 14:14
  it's a call for you tonight to pray when we're praying to
• 14:17
  receive, when we're receiving, to contend in the Spirit until
• 14:21
  your fire is reignited. Who is happening so far?
• 14:24
  I'm going to give you 5 signs of spiritual decline.
• 14:28
  You can use this to test any life.
• 14:30
  Doesn't matter if you're a preacher, doesn't matter if you
• 14:33
  are walking in the choir. Once any of these five things,
• 14:37
  some or all of them are manifesting in your life, then
• 14:41
  it's a call for serious attention.
• 14:44
  Number one. Very quickly, the first sign of
• 14:48
  spiritual decline is that there is a significant deviation from
• 14:53
  your love for God and spiritual things, a significant deviation
• 14:59
  from your love for God and spiritual things.
• 15:04
  Revelation chapter 2, When you read from verse one to four,
• 15:08
  Revelation chapter 2, From verse one to four on to the Angel of
• 15:12
  the church in Ephesus, right. These things said He that
• 15:16
  holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the
• 15:20
  midst of the 7 golden candlesticks.
• 15:25
  Verse 2 It says, I know your works, and your labor, your
• 15:28
  patience, that thou cannot bear them which which are evil, and
• 15:35
  thou has tried them which say they are apostles and are not,
• 15:39
  and thou has found them liars. Verse. 3.
• 15:43
  It says, and thou has borne and has patience for my namesake.
• 15:47
  You have labeled you have not fainted.
• 15:49
  But verse 4 it says nevertheless, I have somewhat
• 15:54
  against it because thou has left your first love.
• 15:59
  That was a challenge over the church in Ephesus.
• 16:02
  They were commended for the wonderful things they had done,
• 16:05
  but he made that emphasis that something remember is this
• 16:09
  efficient church that he was telling them awake how that
• 16:13
  sleepest now revelations God is speaking to them again and say
• 16:18
  we're still dealing with this problem of your first love is
• 16:22
  someone learning now a significant deviation from your
• 16:27
  love for God. Second Timothy chapter 3 one to
• 16:30
  four Second Timothy 3 one to four.
• 16:33
  Whatever affects your love for God is already on its way to
• 16:38
  destroying your spiritual life. This Know also that in the last
• 16:42
  days perilous times shall come. Verse 2.
• 16:45
  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
• 16:51
  proud, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy.
• 16:57
  Verse 3. Without natural reflection,
• 17:00
  truth Breakers, false accusers, incontinent fears, despisers of
• 17:05
  those things that are good. Verse 4 Traitors, heady, high
• 17:09
  minded, lovers of pleasure, There you find it.
• 17:13
  More than lovers of God. Hallelujah.
• 17:18
  It matters that God becomes your highest priority, ladies and
• 17:22
  gentlemen. Then the character of God in
• 17:25
  dealing with men, is that anything that you exalt above
• 17:29
  him? Is considered your God and is
• 17:32
  considered an idol. Are we together?
• 17:34
  It's not enough to say God is in your life.
• 17:37
  His position matters. He can be in your life as #35
• 17:42
  #36 He's there. Are we together?
• 17:46
  He desires to be the highest priority.
• 17:49
  And for many believers, especially for those who want to
• 17:52
  be greatly used by God, they do not know why they seem to not
• 17:58
  see the hand of God as they should.
• 18:01
  The might of God upon the life of a man is connected to the
• 18:06
  depth of your passion, your love for God, and your love for the
• 18:10
  things of God. Show me a man who is genuinely
• 18:14
  in love with Jesus beyond ministry.
• 18:17
  Genuinely in love with Jesus beyond.
• 18:19
  Church, genuinely in love with Jesus beyond pretense.
• 18:23
  I show you a man who cannot go down.
• 18:26
  I show you a man who has found his way to a life of excellence,
• 18:30
  regardless what the situations are.
• 18:32
  The key is to love him, not to use him.
• 18:36
  The key is to love him, not to use him.
• 18:39
  You can use God to get things. You can use God to get fame.
• 18:45
  You can use God because you need power from him.
• 18:48
  But those who will last, those who will thrive, are men who
• 18:52
  love him beyond money, love Him beyond titles, love Him beyond
• 18:57
  ministry. Are we together now?
• 18:59
  Someone shout. I love Jesus.
• 19:02
  Say it like you mean it. I love Jesus, the Bible says.
• 19:10
  No eye has seen, no ear has heard, neither has it come into
• 19:13
  the heart of any man what God has in store, not just for them
• 19:18
  who come to church, for them that love.
• 19:22
  Him. This is a love affair and I'm
• 19:24
  praying for someone, I don't know what has come to steal your
• 19:28
  love. It may be the vicissitus of
• 19:30
  life, maybe the desire to make it, the desire for a job, for
• 19:34
  marriage, for children. As important as it is, those
• 19:37
  things can creep into your life and steal his place in your life
• 19:45
  that He becomes your highest priority.
• 19:48
  Nothing and no one sustains the power to take His place in your
• 19:53
  life. I rather give up Ministry 1000
• 19:58
  times than let anything take his place.
• 20:01
  You believe me on that? Give up preaching 1000 times for
• 20:09
  someone. You need to fall in love with
• 20:11
  him. Again, again, again.
• 20:17
  I'm deep in love with you, our Father.
• 20:24
  I'm deep in love with you, Lord. That's a prayer for someone.
• 20:32
  I'm deep in love with you, precious Jesus.
• 20:40
  I'm deep in love with you, Lord. There is a realm where only
• 20:47
  lovers dwell. There is a realm that is beyond
• 20:53
  just church. There is a realm beyond the
• 20:57
  realm of a prayer. Warrior is a realm of a lover.
• 21:01
  God will open up his heart to you and show you things.
• 21:04
  God will take the prayer. Request of a man and give you as
• 21:07
  a gift because it's a love affair.
• 21:10
  I tell you this, I tell you this, I tell you this.
• 21:16
  You will get blessings in your life you cannot account for.
• 21:19
  You can't tell how they arrived. It was a gift of love.
• 21:25
  You can receive 1,000,000 naira, a salary, but I can come to
• 21:29
  someone I love and give that person 1,000,000.
• 21:32
  Both of you are not holding the same thing.
• 21:34
  No, no, don't let the amount deceive you. 1,000,000 a salary
• 21:40
  and 1,000,000 as a gift is not the same.
• 21:43
  One may be holding 1,000,000 as a testament of pain, anger,
• 21:47
  compromise. Another is holding it as a
• 21:50
  reward. Another is holding it as as an
• 21:56
  an expression of love for someone.
• 21:58
  I'm telling you as you fall in love with the Lord afresh, you
• 22:02
  will see there are graces there, there, there are dimensions.
• 22:06
  See, let me tell you this. The thing about love is that,
• 22:11
  and permit me for a minute, let me use marriage.
• 22:15
  When a man gets married to his wife, eventually because of the
• 22:21
  health of intimacy, the woman becomes pregnant.
• 22:25
  Her pregnancy is a message. It's a product of intimacy.
• 22:30
  If you tell me you are in love and you've been in love for a
• 22:33
  while and you are the bride, show me what you've carried as
• 22:38
  proof of that intimacy. Show me the vision.
• 22:42
  Show me the destinies. Are we together now?
• 22:46
  The child that is born from the man and the woman has what
• 22:50
  belongs to the man and had what belongs to the woman.
• 22:53
  Are we together now? There are things that should
• 22:56
  have come out from you as. Proof that you have been with
• 22:59
  him genuinely. I pray for you.
• 23:01
  I don't know what has stolen your passion.
• 23:04
  I came here in the name of Jesus, standing in faith with
• 23:07
  your pastor. Oh, let a fresh passion for
• 23:10
  Jesus. Let it rest upon you.
• 23:13
  Let it rest upon you. Let it rest upon you that he
• 23:17
  becomes your everything. In the name of Jesus, please be
• 23:22
  seated. The second sign very quickly of
• 23:29
  a spiritual decline. Are you ready?
• 23:33
  Progressive growth of self, the progressive growth of self to
• 23:41
  the degree to which self is growing in you is a sign that
• 23:44
  you're dying spiritually. Self, or self centeredness, as
• 23:48
  you call it. Let me tell you this One of the
• 23:51
  implications of having a healthy relationship with Jesus is that
• 23:56
  self dies. It doesn't matter how long it's
• 24:00
  been. If it's the God of the Bible you
• 24:02
  encounter, self dies, you begin to live beyond yourself.
• 24:07
  It's not all about what I want. Here's the language of spiritual
• 24:12
  man. Nevertheless not my.
• 24:14
  Will. But yours be done.
• 24:18
  I see that you claim to have an encounter with God, but self is
• 24:23
  still alive and self is growing. No, the progressive growth of
• 24:30
  self is a major indication of a spiritual decline.
• 24:35
  I'll give you #3 quickly. What's the third side of a
• 24:40
  spiritual decline? Consistent, ever increasing
• 24:45
  compromise of your values and godly standards.
• 24:49
  Consistent, ever increasing compromise of your values and
• 24:56
  your godly standards. When there is a consistent, ever
• 25:02
  increasing compromise of your values and your godly standards,
• 25:08
  and you're not convicted afterwards, it's a sign that you
• 25:12
  need help quickly. Who is learning now?
• 25:14
  It is true. It is true #4A decline in your
• 25:24
  spiritual convictions. A decline in your spiritual
• 25:29
  convictions, meaning you are no longer sure of what you once
• 25:33
  believed. First Timothy 4 and verse one, a
• 25:36
  sign of a spiritual decline in addition to a compromise of your
• 25:41
  values and your standards. You get to a point where you are
• 25:44
  not even sure what you believe. Again, the Bible says, now the
• 25:48
  spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter time some shall
• 25:52
  depart from the faith and shall give heed to seducing spirits
• 25:57
  and doctrines of demons. They shall depart from the
• 26:01
  state, the faith. So you find out that today
• 26:07
  people believe in prayer, for instance, and by next week have
• 26:11
  you seen people fight the things they once believed.
• 26:14
  Today they love prayer by tomorrow they they don't only
• 26:18
  hate prayer, They hate everyone who prays today they love the
• 26:22
  word of God. By tomorrow they said leave that
• 26:24
  thing. We did it before we did it.
• 26:26
  We it is confession. We did it once.
• 26:29
  You find people speak like that, they may not be wrong, but it's
• 26:33
  a sign of spiritual decline. Like you go to a doctor and they
• 26:38
  measure your vitals and they can tell you something is wrong.
• 26:41
  Even if you feel healthy, they tell you you are dying,
• 26:44
  something is wrong. Are we together?
• 26:48
  When spiritual things look like nonsense to you, it's a sign
• 26:53
  that you are going down spiritually.
• 26:54
  The confession of the Word, fasting, prayer, and so on and
• 26:58
  so forth. Let me give you #5 very quickly
• 27:02
  apologies that I'm having to just rush #5 the 5th sign of
• 27:11
  spiritual decline is a decline in your passion for the House of
• 27:17
  God. Your decline, decline in your
• 27:21
  passion for the House of God. Hallelujah.
• 27:27
  Psalm 122, verse one. Psalm 122 and verse one.
• 27:35
  I was glad. When they said unto me, Let us.
• 27:39
  Go, let us go. By the time you stop being glad
• 27:46
  when they tell you, let us go to the House of the Lord.
• 27:48
  It's a sign of an attack, a real attack on your life.
• 27:52
  Hallelujah. There are things that only
• 27:55
  happen when you are in the assembly of God's people.
• 27:59
  No matter how healthy you are spiritually in isolation, there
• 28:04
  is a limit to which you can rise.
• 28:06
  Are we together now? The Bible says in Psalm 133 how
• 28:10
  good and how pleasant it is when brethren dwell together in
• 28:13
  unity. He said it is like the oil that
• 28:16
  comes from the head of Aaron, you know, the priest to his
• 28:20
  garment, his cat. The Bible says for there the
• 28:23
  Lord has commanded the blessing even.
• 28:26
  Life. Forever more passion for the
• 28:31
  House of God. There are people who don't care.
• 28:34
  They come to church or they don't, it doesn't really affect
• 28:38
  them. It's a sign of a spiritual
• 28:40
  decline. Is someone learning now?
• 28:43
  Now the theme Awakening is beyond the.
• 28:46
  Theme of a conference. It is a call.
• 28:49
  And here's where I want to dwell a bit as I pray.
• 28:52
  Just preparing on what I will share tonight.
• 28:54
  The Lord quicken it in my heart to challenge us to be awakened
• 28:59
  in four areas. There are four major areas and I
• 29:03
  believe this is a prophetic instruction for us, those who
• 29:06
  are here. And to the many who are
• 29:08
  connected online, number one, the first area of awakening that
• 29:13
  we need to pay attention to in this season.
• 29:17
  And in this prophetic season, really, in light of what God is
• 29:21
  doing, are we together? The first area of awakening is
• 29:26
  greater passion for Jesus. Greater passion.
• 29:31
  I spoke about that earlier on. You must be awakened to a
• 29:35
  greater passion for Jesus. A deeper consecration will lead
• 29:41
  to greater passion for Jesus. Now when we talk about the word
• 29:45
  consecration, there are two expressions with #1.
• 29:50
  The first dimension of consecration has to do with
• 29:54
  obtaining grace to abstain from. Obtaining grace to abstain from
• 30:00
  the works of the flesh and sinful lusts.
• 30:04
  But the second dimension of consecration is devotion onto.
• 30:09
  So you can obtain grace to abstain from, but if you are not
• 30:13
  devoted onto, you are still not consecrated unfortunately.
• 30:18
  Our. The the larger part of our
• 30:20
  understanding of consecration just has to do with abstinence,
• 30:24
  and that's wonderful, but we stop there.
• 30:26
  If it stops at abstinence, then your definition is not
• 30:30
  wholesome. It must also go into devotion,
• 30:33
  total devotion. The Lord is calling us.
• 30:39
  As a body of believers to rise and to be awakened to greater
• 30:44
  passion for Jesus. Greater passion for Jesus,
• 30:48
  loving him, loving his house, loving his program beyond our
• 30:54
  personal agenda, beyond the things that we want for
• 30:58
  ourselves that our eyes are on. Him not just to receive, but to
• 31:02
  understand that we are also partakers of that heavenly
• 31:06
  calling. We love him enough to know Him.
• 31:09
  We love him enough to serve His. Purposes who is learning tonight
• 31:15
  #2? The second area of awakening as
• 31:20
  the Lord put in my heart to bring to the body of Christ and
• 31:24
  to bring to the family that I here represented a higher level
• 31:29
  of prayer, to be awakened to a higher level of prayer and
• 31:34
  fellowship. And now this is a praying
• 31:37
  church. I like to talk to people who
• 31:39
  pray. It's a praying church and I'm
• 31:43
  happy that this is a praying church.
• 31:46
  Ladies and gentlemen, the move of God will be stifled when God
• 31:50
  does not find a people who understand the mysteries of the
• 31:53
  altar. Your personal efficiency as a
• 31:56
  person will fail until you understand the mysteries of the
• 32:00
  altar. Luke 18 and verse 1.
• 32:03
  He speak a parable to the end that men ought always to pray.
• 32:07
  Are we together now? Mark 1124 Verily, verily, I say
• 32:11
  unto you, What things so ever ye desire.
• 32:14
  It says, when ye pray, believe that thou receiveth them, and
• 32:18
  thou shalt have them. First Thessalonians 5/17 He says
• 32:22
  to pray without season. To pray without season.
• 32:27
  Acts chapter 6 and verse 4, the early church, that was the
• 32:30
  pattern, but we will give ourselves continually to prayer
• 32:35
  and to the ministry of the world in Acts chapter 2 and verse 42.
• 32:39
  This was the Apostolic model that was left with the Church,
• 32:43
  and they continued steadfastly in the Apostles doctrine and in
• 32:47
  fellowship, in breaking of bread and in prayer.
• 32:51
  Shout I will pray the devil did not hear you.
• 32:54
  Say I will pray like you are serious.
• 32:57
  Say I will pray Hallelujah. The man who prays has capacity
• 33:06
  to dishand the doings of God, to dishand the speakings of God.
• 33:11
  Are we together now? The Bible tells us that no, man,
• 33:16
  there are many. I shouldn't, I shouldn't be
• 33:18
  teaching. You're not.
• 33:18
  You're not ignorant at all. Your pastor has invested so much
• 33:22
  teaching you on prayer. But I'll tell you a few things
• 33:25
  about prayer. One of the greatest
• 33:28
  demonstration of pride in a believer's life is
• 33:31
  prayerlessness. Prayerlessness is pride.
• 33:35
  It's a declaration of your independence out of the
• 33:40
  assistance of heaven. Hallelujah, and I wish I had the
• 33:46
  time to tell you why the Bible insists that we pray.
• 33:50
  But among them you need to understand that God gave man a
• 33:54
  will. This will God gave man makes it
• 33:58
  scripturally incorrect for God to step into a man's life and
• 34:03
  make any adjustments without him calling.
• 34:06
  The fact that he gave man a will Are we together?
• 34:11
  Praise the name of the Lord. Behold I stand at the door of
• 34:15
  your heart and knock. Even though I created, I will
• 34:18
  keep knocking until you use your wheel to open that door.
• 34:22
  The wheel of man is powerful. Every time you pray you are
• 34:26
  verbalizing your dependence. Every time you pray on legal
• 34:30
  basis, you are calling that heaven comes to assist you.
• 34:34
  This is how it works. In my study on prayer, I found
• 34:39
  at least 4 for assignments of prayer in the life of the
• 34:44
  believer. Assignment number one of prayer
• 34:47
  is for your growth and transformation.
• 34:50
  This is the highest and the richest assignment of prayer.
• 34:53
  More than receiving things, you pray yourself into a more
• 34:58
  powerful fashion, you pray yourself into a more sensitive
• 35:02
  fashion, you pray yourself. I liken it to mold in You know
• 35:06
  how reptiles mold that a snake can mold and then remove its
• 35:11
  former self and have a new, bigger, fresher self.
• 35:15
  That's what prayer does. A weak believer can mold out of
• 35:18
  fear. You can mold out of flesh.
• 35:21
  You can mold out of limitation until you become a man or a
• 35:25
  woman of stature and power. Luke 929.
• 35:29
  The Bible says, and I see Pray, the fashion of his countenance
• 35:34
  was His garment became white and glistering.
• 35:38
  The fashion of his countenance was altered #2 The second
• 35:45
  assignment of prayer is as a channel or a platform for
• 35:50
  obtaining requests and making petitions.
• 35:54
  Mark 1124. The Bible says Whatsoever things
• 35:59
  ye desire when ye pray, not if you pray.
• 36:03
  When you pray using the platform of prayer, believe that you
• 36:08
  receive it and then you will have it.
• 36:13
  The third assignment of prayer is for spiritual legislation
• 36:17
  that in the place of prayer you create possibilities in your
• 36:20
  life. You change narratives, you
• 36:22
  redefine possibilities. Are we together now?
• 36:26
  Prayer is like a man holding an eraser and a byra at the same
• 36:30
  time. I mean an eraser and a pen.
• 36:32
  You find what is not consistent with the Word of God.
• 36:35
  In the place of prayer, you sustain the power to clean it
• 36:39
  and say not so. I do not agree.
• 36:42
  This verdict is inconsistent with the Word, and you begin to
• 36:45
  rewrite things. There is nothing like too late
• 36:49
  for a man of prayer. No, no Sir, no, Sir, Hallelujah,
• 36:59
  praise the name of the Lord. And finally, the 4th assignment,
• 37:03
  at least for prayer, is as a tool for spiritual warfare and
• 37:07
  intercession. You need to understand the
• 37:10
  dynamics of warfare. The Bible is very clear to the
• 37:13
  fact that the believer must sustain intelligence to be able
• 37:17
  to appropriate that which is finished in Christ over your
• 37:21
  atmosphere as touching demon spirits and their determination
• 37:25
  to destroy your destiny. It says the whole world lies in
• 37:28
  wickedness. When you learn how to pray and
• 37:31
  you know how to pray with intelligence.
• 37:34
  Are we together? It says, I desire to come to
• 37:36
  you, even I Paul once and again. But Satan hindered us.
• 37:42
  Favor desire to come to you, blessings desire to come to you.
• 37:46
  But Satan hindered us Philippians one I think verse 19
• 37:53
  it says and I know that this shall turn to my salvation
• 37:57
  through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Christ
• 38:01
  Jesus. I know I am confident that in
• 38:04
  the place of prayer it will turn to my salvation.
• 38:08
  Someone again shout, I will pray.
• 38:11
  So when we are talking about an awakening in addition to your
• 38:15
  passion for Jesus, it must be an awakening onto prayer, not as a
• 38:21
  religious activity. No prayer that produces power,
• 38:26
  prayer that produces result. The Bible says the fervent
• 38:30
  effectual prayer of the righteous.
• 38:33
  I failed much. I failed much.
• 38:37
  Amplified says it produces tremendous power that is dynamic
• 38:42
  in its working. Show me a man who prays.
• 38:50
  Show me a man who understands the mysteries of the altar.
• 38:53
  Prayer is an equalizer. It balances every disadvantage
• 38:57
  you have in life. It doesn't matter what the
• 38:59
  disadvantage is. Give yourself to prayer and
• 39:03
  watch the. Balance, scale up.
• 39:05
  It doesn't matter whether it's a poor background, whether it's
• 39:08
  lack of education, whether it's lack of an advantage.
• 39:11
  Prayer becomes for you an equalizer if you submit yourself
• 39:15
  to. Prayer, I tell you it's
• 39:16
  impossible to remain in one entity again shout I will pray
• 39:22
  by this declaration. I pray for someone that.
• 39:26
  The fire upon your altar, for whatever reason that is, found
• 39:30
  its way down. I decree and declare, Let fresh
• 39:34
  fire rest upon your. Prayer altar.
• 39:37
  Fresh fire upon your prayer altar.
• 39:41
  Fresh fire upon your prayer altar.
• 39:45
  Please be seated. Can I tell you the truth?
• 39:49
  There is a dimension of faith that only prayer can receive for
• 39:54
  you. When you meet people who are men
• 39:58
  and women of prayer, their capacity to believe God becomes
• 40:03
  expanded. They can receive things.
• 40:06
  When you hear their plans and goals, you will be afraid.
• 40:09
  They are able to afford to receive that ambitious blueprint
• 40:14
  because prayer has expanded their capacity.
• 40:17
  The Bible says building yourselves on your most holy
• 40:20
  faith, you see. One way you know it is God
• 40:25
  talking to you is because he will never tell you what you can
• 40:28
  do. He will tell you what he can do
• 40:32
  to you. If God gives you a plan and a
• 40:35
  blueprint and it's already possible, you most likely had a
• 40:38
  familiar spirit because in obeying God, the the discipline
• 40:46
  that you go through is more important to God than the
• 40:49
  result. It will give you instructions
• 40:52
  that will stretch your faith. Stretch your believing that
• 40:57
  stretching is really where the blessing is.
• 41:01
  Is someone learning? I pray for you.
• 41:07
  Obtain grace to pray. Listen, your prayer life will
• 41:13
  not produce result until it is systematized.
• 41:18
  If prayer is not systematized, it cannot produce results.
• 41:23
  In the Bible, they called it the hour of prayer.
• 41:26
  And that's why I salute your pastor and those who are
• 41:29
  connected to this vision, because you have a system that
• 41:32
  has helped to produce consistency.
• 41:35
  Praying only when you are aware of danger is praying too late.
• 41:40
  Praying too late is someone learning.
• 41:46
  You must discipline yourself and create sessions of prayer.
• 41:52
  Let it be a healthy ritual, A ritual that is bound by a
• 41:56
  covenant. There's no gift of prayer.
• 41:59
  It requires discipline. You are engaged to pray, but
• 42:04
  prayer is not convenient. It is the awareness of what it
• 42:07
  can do that gives you the staying power.

  For someone here, I speak to you.
• 44:13
  I'm hearing in my spirit you are stepping into your season of
• 44:17
  visibility, your season of visibility.
• 44:22
  I'm speaking it to a business. I'm speaking it to a daughter of

  you, may they see you. I bless grace on your life.
• 44:52
  Those who need you, may they see you, may they find you.
• 44:56
  In the name of Jesus. Awaken to prayer.
• 45:22
  Allowing prayer to change you, then it will change everything
• 45:26
  around you. Allowing prayer to change you,
• 45:31
  then it will change everything around you.
• 45:34
  Allowing prayer to change you. That the Holy Ghost will ride
• 45:38
  upon the wings of consistent prayer and change you as a
• 45:43
  worshipper, change you as a man of God, change you as a
• 45:49
  businessman, then through you like that river, begin to change
• 45:54
  things around you. Hallelujah.
• 46:01
  Please be seated. Let me find somewhere to pray.
• 46:16
  The Lord is asking me to speak to someone, and I want you to
• 46:19
  listen. Do you believe in the grace for
• 46:24
  speed? You believe it?
• 46:51
  In the name of Jesus, I decree this for someone.
• 46:56
  I stand upon this altar in partnership with the grace that
• 47:00
  is represented. Harvesters, hear me, believe us,
• 47:04
  hear me. In the name of Jesus, let the
• 47:07
  grace for speed, let it rest on you.
• 47:10
  Now let it rest from you now. 10 years in one year. 10 years in
• 47:20
  one year. I speak it to a business.
• 47:24
  I speak it to a ministry. 10 years in one year. 10 years in
• 47:30
  one year. May the God of my covenant bring
• 47:33
  it to pass. 10 years in one year.

  Ten years in one year. Ten years in one year.

  OSHA stone. Let there be order.
• 48:15
  Just if I'm not able to give you the remaining two, let me give
• 48:21
  you the third one. The third instruction God gave
• 48:25
  me for us is that we be awakened to the dynamics of faith.
• 48:31
  We must know and learn how to live by faith.
• 48:37
  That's the third area of awakening faith.

  Stephanie. Stephanie, can I pray for you?
• 48:43
  I presume there are a number of you.
• 48:51
  I'm seeing Stephanie in my vision.
• 48:53
  And every time God shows me this, I'm seeing you climb a
• 48:56
  ladder. And when I see a ladder in the
• 48:58
  spirit, it's it's a symbolism of increase.
• 49:03
  And I want to pray for you. I stretch my hands over
• 49:06
  Stephanie. There are a number of you, but
• 49:08
  I'm speaking to you by the Spirit in the name of Jesus.

  Acting is it? Let's have pastors verify.

  Is it true with acting? The Lord is saying you are
• 49:52
  stepping into a season where He's going to open doors for
• 49:56

  Breast cancer? Who is that?

  You have a picture on your phone.
• 51:05
  Come. Is that a picture there?
• 51:19
  That's all right, my dear. That's all right, Sir.
• 51:24
  In the name of Jesus, I speak to you and to everyone.
• 51:28
  Ebenezer, let grace come on you. Restoration by the Spirit of.
• 51:34
  God. The name of Jesus Christ.
• 51:36
  Receive that grace right now. The name of Jesus.
• 51:39
  A new season for you. By the power of the Holy Ghost.
• 51:43
  By the power of the Holy Ghost, let me.
• 51:46
  Use. This lady's condition to just
• 51:50
  speak over, particularly the Lord is speaking to me about.
• 51:56
  Cancer. Breast cancer.
• 51:58
  A mother. I believe in the God that heals.
• 52:05
  I am a beneficiary of His healing power myself.
• 52:10
  So I know, oh, I know He does heal.
• 52:13
  It does heal. I'm sensing in my spirit that
• 52:18
  it's not only that God is healing, but from the many who
• 52:22
  are gathered here, I sense that an anointing.
• 52:27
  Some of you are prayed, some of you are fasted, desired
• 52:32
  sincerely, the healing power of Jesus.
• 52:35
  Maybe not everybody, but I'm standing in faith with your man
• 52:39
  of God and I'm praying for you right now.
• 52:41
  In the name of Jesus Christ, step into a new dimension of the
• 52:45
  healing graves. God will use you to heal
• 52:50
  nations. Heal nations.
• 52:55
  In the name of Jesus, my dear, I use you as a point of contact
• 52:59
  and we pray for anyone here, particularly those who are
• 53:03
  suffering from cancer or whose parents or loved ones are
• 53:08
  suffering from cancer. In the name of Jesus we call
• 53:12
  Cancer by. Name You are a spirit, and by
• 53:15
  the power that raised Christ from the dead, we cause cancer.
• 53:19
  Right now we command cancer to vanish.
• 53:23
  In the name of Jesus we command cancer to vanish.
• 53:28
  We close the gate of the grave and we declare that no one will
• 53:33
  fall to cancer. Be healed in Jesus name we bring
• 53:38
  you life by the Spirit, the ministry of the Holy Ghost.
• 53:42
  Be healed in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 53:47
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
• 53:52
  I. Have to finish.
• 53:56
  I have to finish. My time is up.
• 53:58
  I have to finish. I have to.
• 54:02
  Finish. I have to finish.
• 54:06
  There is a gentleman and a lady. Two of them.
• 54:10
  They will shout loud under the anointing.
• 54:12
  Please bring them for me. I want to a gentleman and a
• 54:15
  lady. The power of God is coming
• 54:17
  mightily on them. A gentleman and a lady.
• 54:21
  They will shout loud to the hearing of everybody.
• 54:23
  I want to speak to them. If you can find them, let me
• 54:29
  just speak to them quickly. God does these things so very
• 54:33
  quickly. Let's take #3 I have to work
• 54:35
  with time. Please be seated.
• 54:39
  If you can live Him by faith. First John chapter 5 and verse
• 54:44
  4, it says whatsoever is born of God, overcome at the world.
• 54:51
  It says, and this is a victory that overcome at the world.
• 54:55
  Help him in the name of Jesus, I say, even your faith.
• 55:00
  The victory that overcomes the world, even your faith.
• 55:04
  I'm praying for someone. Let the spirit of faith come on
• 55:08
  you. Let the spirit of faith to do
• 55:11
  impossible things in the name of Jesus.
• 55:15
  In the name of Jesus. Let the spirit of faith rest
• 55:19
  upon you, rest upon your business, rest upon you in the
• 55:24
  name of Jesus Christ. By faith.
• 55:35
  Listen. Just lend me your attention.
• 55:43
  Bring her. That's the second lady.
• 55:46
  Please don't be distracted. Sit.
• 55:49
  Sit. We see the rain of your love.
• 56:06
  We feel the wind of your spirit now the heartbeat of heaven.
• 56:13
  Let us hear. Feel the rain of your love.
• 56:21
  We feel the wind of your spirit now, the heartbeat of heaven.
• 56:28
  Let us hear. So let it rain, Let it rain.
• 57:02
  Hallelujah, Hallelujah. There's a reason why I asked
• 57:07
  that two of them would come. The Lord says I should speak to
• 57:10
  them. Remember ye not the former
• 57:12
  things, nor consider the things of old in this season for you
• 57:17
  and for your families. God is doing a new thing.
• 57:22
  What he says to 1. He says to all.
• 57:24
  My God is doing a new thing, doing a new thing.
• 57:28
  I stand in faith with the grace of God upon your pastor, and I
• 57:33
  declare new things, new dimensions, new things, new
• 57:38
  dimensions. New things, new dimensions, new
• 57:43
  things for someone means a new job.
• 57:46
  It means a New Hope. It means new possibilities.
• 57:51
  Receive it in the name of Jesus. Please be seated.
• 57:58
  Please be seated. The third awakening is an
• 58:03
  awakening to know how to live by Faith.
• 58:07
  Harvester's family, hear me. That you are here today by the
• 58:11
  Spirit of God is a testament of the fact that your man of God
• 58:18
  has demonstrated the power of faith.
• 58:21
  Can I tell you this, ladies and gentlemen?
• 58:24
  Faith always works. Bible faith, Bible faith.
• 58:32
  The time will fail me. To talk of Gideon and Jafta.
• 58:36
  And Barack, man who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought
• 58:41
  righteousness, shut the mouths of lions.
• 58:46
  Faith can truly move mountains. I'll tell you what it means to
• 58:51
  be awakened unto faith, that you move past the realm of acting on
• 58:56
  the Word of God, to live in by the Word of God.
• 59:01
  Acting upon the Word of God is like someone who is sick but not
• 59:05
  interested in his health. You can receive drugs to just be
• 59:09
  fine for that moment, but the person who lives by the word is
• 59:13
  the one who takes all the health measures to make sure you don't
• 59:17
  even fall sick in the 1st place. Most believers are only
• 59:22
  conscious of acting on the word, but the Bible talks beyond
• 59:26
  acting the word. Matthew 4/4 It says Man shall
• 59:31
  leave you see that now you must know that it takes beyond bread.
• 59:37
  Bread means that which is of man made origin.
• 59:42
  Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every.
• 59:46
  Word. To live by faith means to submit
• 59:50
  to the supremacy of the Word of God.
• 59:53
  God is not a man that he should lie.
• 59:55
  You believe me ladies and gentlemen, not the Son of man
• 59:58
  that he should repent. If he tells you you are the head
• 1:00:02
  you believe him believe him. If he tells you are above only
• 1:00:07
  don't mind social media you. Believe him if he tells you you
• 1:00:11
  are above and not believe you. Believe it if it tells you.
• 1:00:15
  Listen, ladies and gentlemen, the Bible says by you, I can run
• 1:00:20
  through a. Troop and by my God, I can leap
• 1:00:23
  over a wall. Believe it, believe it, believe
• 1:00:32
  it. Faith goes beyond believing.
• 1:00:36
  The word. Faith moves you past the realm
• 1:00:41
  of believing to finding out how to stand in partnership with the
• 1:00:47
  world so that you commit God's integrity to perform.
• 1:00:51
  You can believe God genuinely, and yet you have not completed
• 1:00:55
  your faith equation. Believing is part of faith, but
• 1:00:59
  it does not end with believing. Faith is the name given to the
• 1:01:04
  action you take as proof that you believe God.
• 1:01:10
  In one word, faith is obedience. In one word, faith is obedience.
• 1:01:18
  I have to give you #4 This is the fourth and final instruction
• 1:01:24
  the Lord gave me to be awakened number one, on to a greater
• 1:01:33
  passion for God. Still remember #2 Prayer.
• 1:01:40
  Onto prayer. Systematized, consistent,
• 1:01:44
  heartfelt prayer. The third area of your being
• 1:01:47
  awakened is how to live by faith.
• 1:01:50
  You will fail woefully in life if you do not learn how to live
• 1:01:54
  by faith. There are no guarantees
• 1:01:56
  anywhere, no guarantees. The concept of it guarantees an
• 1:02:00
  illusion. Men are too emotional and too
• 1:02:04
  inconsistent for you to rest upon them.
• 1:02:08
  Someone can say, I will bless you today and change their mind
• 1:02:11
  overnight. You need to rest your faith upon
• 1:02:16
  the integrity of the Word of God.
• 1:02:18
  And then #4 the 4th area, and this is a very serious one, is
• 1:02:24
  to learn to walk in love. This is the fourth area of
• 1:02:29
  awakening. To walk in love.
• 1:02:32
  Ephesians 5 one and two, we're about to pray.
• 1:02:37
  Ephesians 5 one and two, walk in love.
• 1:02:42
  Walk in love, it says, Be ye therefore followers of God as
• 1:02:49
  their children. Verse 2 it says and walk.
• 1:02:54
  In love. It's an instruction to walk in
• 1:02:58
  love. Can I tell you this?
• 1:03:00
  Listen. Hold on for a moment, I want to
• 1:03:03
  tell you a very big secret. I don't know everything about
• 1:03:07
  spirit life, but I can tell you this.
• 1:03:11
  There are certain dimensions of trust you will never get from
• 1:03:15
  God. Until you learn to walk in love.
• 1:03:20
  There are many, many people who pray.
• 1:03:23
  There are many, many people who fast.
• 1:03:26
  But the cancer? What limits they are being
• 1:03:30
  trusted by God with great things is that they do not understand
• 1:03:35
  the law of love. Love looks very feminine, looks
• 1:03:39
  very casual, but that's what defeated death on the cross.
• 1:03:44
  Where power failed, love continued.
• 1:03:47
  You have to respect love. The Bible says there remained
• 1:03:51
  this tree faith that moves mountains.
• 1:03:54
  Hope that makes not a shame. It says love, but the greatest.
• 1:04:01
  I've seen many prayer warriors who knows hatred.
• 1:04:04
  I've seen many church people who they don't know what attracts
• 1:04:08
  all kinds of demonic things in their lives.
• 1:04:11
  To walk in love is a choice. To walk in love is a choice.
• 1:04:17
  It has nothing to do with feelings.
• 1:04:19
  The Bible says to all, no man, nothing but love.
• 1:04:25
  The law of love is powerful when you walk in love.
• 1:04:29
  That's the realm of power, is the realm where Satan will not
• 1:04:33
  know what to do with your life again because your possibilities
• 1:04:36
  become endless. Is someone learning now?
• 1:04:40
  Believers need to work in love. Some of the greatest pain
• 1:04:44
  believers have received in their lives came from church, not
• 1:04:48
  outside of church. Are we together now?
• 1:04:53
  So once we do all the impartation and people grow in
• 1:04:57
  Revelation, there must be a restoration of love, and it must
• 1:05:01
  be both vertical and horizontal. If you love Jesus and you hate
• 1:05:06
  men, your love is not genuine. The Bible says How can you say
• 1:05:11
  you love God? Are we together?
• 1:05:16
  Once you hate your brother, you God who you do not?
• 1:05:19
  See. I mean there's too much hatred.
• 1:05:23
  I will thank God that God is helping the body of Christ.
• 1:05:25
  Too much hatred. People just smile in the open,
• 1:05:29
  but their hearts are full of hatred.
• 1:05:31
  No, it shouldn't be. No, it shouldn't be.
• 1:05:35
  By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples.
• 1:05:40
  Not when you pray, not was when you give, when you love.
• 1:05:46
  Hallelujah. And love has indices.
• 1:05:50
  Love has indices. The highest index for measuring
• 1:05:54
  love is sacrifice. There are heights and depths and
• 1:06:00
  lengths and breadth of love is a dimension of love.
• 1:06:05
  Commitment is a dimension of love.
• 1:06:08
  Pleasure is a dimension of love. Sacrifice is a dimension of
• 1:06:13
  love. The highest is sacrifice.
• 1:06:16
  Greater love have no man than this, than a man laid down his
• 1:06:21
  life harvesters. Love Jesus.
• 1:06:26
  Love your pastor, love yourselves, Love Jesus, love
• 1:06:32
  your pastor, love your leaders. Don't just obey them, don't just
• 1:06:37
  respect them. There are preachers who are
• 1:06:39
  following. Let me give you a secret.
• 1:06:41
  Don't just desire to preach to people, love them genuinely.
• 1:06:46
  There is an energy that comes from love.
• 1:06:49
  People are not stupid, they know when you sincerely love them.
• 1:06:54
  Hallelujah is someone learning now.
• 1:06:58
  When you love, you can bend over backwards with joy.
• 1:07:03
  Are we together now? The character of love is that
• 1:07:07
  love and self cannot coexist. My definition of love is the
• 1:07:11
  absence of self. To the degree to which self dies
• 1:07:17
  in you, that is the degree to which love is alive in you.
• 1:07:21
  Are we together? When you genuinely love, you
• 1:07:24
  look towards the interests of others more than it is your own
• 1:07:29
  interest. Church is quiet love.
• 1:07:34
  Oh love, love, we're about to pray.
• 1:07:38
  Genuine love. Don't hate on people.
• 1:07:41
  Don't join some of this, this this childish things you see
• 1:07:43
  going on online. Don't do that.
• 1:07:45
  Love genuinely. Let your words minister.
• 1:07:49
  Love. Let it minister hope.
• 1:07:51
  People are already wounded. They are already dealing with
• 1:07:54
  too many things in their lives. Don't add to people's headache.
• 1:07:59
  Are we together? Love genuinely.
• 1:08:04
  The workers in this ministry. Love yourselves, the membership.
• 1:08:10
  Love yourselves genuinely. Does that mean you will not
• 1:08:14
  offend one another? Many times.
• 1:08:16
  But you see, forgiveness is the highest form of giving.
• 1:08:22
  The highest form of giving is forgiveness.
• 1:08:27
  Are we together? I can tell you this when you
• 1:08:31
  study the moves of God, one of the major reasons why the moves
• 1:08:37
  of God died, aside from other things like, you know, flesh and
• 1:08:41
  pride, was that lack of love, hatred that brought competition,
• 1:08:46
  jealousy, backbiting. Once there's no love, all manner
• 1:08:51
  of the works of the flesh, you will see it manifest.
• 1:08:54
  The fruit of the spirit, the Bible says, is love, and then
• 1:08:57
  that love is manifested in all its variety.
• 1:09:01
  A true Christian is not just known by your prayer life.
• 1:09:04
  A true Christian is not just known by fasting.
• 1:09:07
  Muslims fast. Unbelievers fast.
• 1:09:09
  Buddhists fast. Other people fast.
• 1:09:12
  There are people who fast for years.
• 1:09:14
  There are people who are called Britarians.
• 1:09:16
  They don't eat. They believe they live on cosmic
• 1:09:18
  energy. They literally can eat.
• 1:09:20
  Once in five years, they fast love.
• 1:09:27
  It's my greatest prayer for myself beyond power, that I will
• 1:09:31
  be one person who loves the body of Christ, loves God's people.
• 1:09:35
  Are we together? Someone Say I walk in love.
• 1:09:39
  Say it again, I walk in love. We're about to pray shortly, but
• 1:09:42
  say I walk in love. Say no offense.
• 1:09:46
  Say it again. Say no offense.
• 1:09:48
  Say consciously reject offense, Listen what demons could not do
• 1:09:56
  to John, offence did for him. John.
• 1:09:59
  The Bible tells us that of all the prophets, you know the kind
• 1:10:04
  of mighty prophets that when the Old Testament that none was as
• 1:10:07
  great as John, the man who ordained Jesus in ministry.
• 1:10:14
  But offence came in and he sent his disciples.
• 1:10:17
  He said go and ask Jesus, hear the voice of offence.
• 1:10:20
  Are you the Messiah or should we expect another Jesus would have
• 1:10:24
  said you and John 2 of you are stupid, go and you know and all
• 1:10:27
  of the no, no, no, no, he didn't say that He healed the sick and
• 1:10:31
  did all of that and said go and tell John what you see, the
• 1:10:34
  blind sea, the deaf here and all of that.
• 1:10:37
  The gospel is preached. Then he said blessed said, is he
• 1:10:40
  who is not offended in me? And on the platter of offense.
• 1:10:47
  Look how the prophet died, one of the greatest prophets.
• 1:10:51
  He was a little girl who demanded his head as a birthday
• 1:10:54
  gift. Make up your mind.
• 1:11:00
  You have tried hate, you've tried resentment, you've tried
• 1:11:04
  offense. Why don't you trust the law of
• 1:11:07
  love? The law of love is powerful.
• 1:11:09
  It is therapeutic. You know what it means to go to
• 1:11:13
  bed knowing your conscience is free.
• 1:11:17
  That's the reason why many people cannot sleep, even
• 1:11:19
  anointed people. They roar from left to right
• 1:11:22
  because they have all kinds of books in their hearts.
• 1:11:25
  I'm praying for you. Anyone here having any yoke of
• 1:11:29
  unforgiveness offense? Now don't get me wrong.
• 1:11:33
  Listen, sometimes men can hurt in such a way that you almost
• 1:11:39
  want to kill yourself and kill them.
• 1:11:40
  I understand. But the Bible say commands to
• 1:11:43
  love. The love comes by the Holy
• 1:11:47
  Ghost. Say I walk in love.
• 1:11:51
  I know it's painful, but say I walk in love.
• 1:11:54
  You decide to walk in love and watch the power of God.
• 1:11:59
  Oh, no, man, Nothing but love. Do not be part of those who
• 1:12:03
  cause pain to others. No.
• 1:12:07
  Are we together? We're going to pray.
• 1:12:09
  Please rise up on your feet. More love, more power.
• 1:12:21
  More of you in my life. Can you hold the hands?
• 1:12:26
  Of someone by your left hand right more more power.
• 1:12:36
  More of you. In.
• 1:12:38
  My, I'd like you to pray in the Spirit for one minute, pray in
• 1:12:43
  the spirit all over for one minute, and then I'll give us 2
• 1:12:47
  prayer points and we're done. Go ahead and pray in the spirit.
• 1:12:50

  I make progress in ministry. I made progress in my business.
• 1:16:04
  No going down, no limits. I refuse to plateau.
• 1:16:09
  Surging dimensions, new heights in the Spirit by the Holy Ghost,
• 1:16:15
  carried on the wings of grace in the name of Jesus.
• 1:16:24
  Come on, havesas, 10 more seconds.
• 1:16:39
  For it's in Jesus name we pray. In Jesus name we pray.
• 1:16:46
  Please keep standing. Everyone, thank you for your
• 1:16:48
  patience. Lend me your attention for one
• 1:16:51
  moment. Is it all right that I make the
• 1:16:53
  altar call? Pastor, can I make the altar
• 1:16:55
  call? Hallelujah.
• 1:16:59
  Listen to me everyone. Please lend me your attention.
• 1:17:02
  This Kingdom begins with knowing Jesus and submitting to his
• 1:17:08
  governing authority. You can be around church.
• 1:17:13
  You may even be a worker perhaps, maybe he or any other
• 1:17:17
  ministry connected. But that's not my question
• 1:17:20
  tonight. The call tonight is for those
• 1:17:24
  who have come to a realization that your life is truly empty
• 1:17:28
  without Him, who want to move past the gate of religion and
• 1:17:33
  church into a true fellowship with Jesus that translates to a
• 1:17:39
  life of victory, honor and glory.
• 1:17:43
  The Bible says God so loved the world that he gave his only
• 1:17:47
  begotten Son, that whosoever that blessing is, for whosoever
• 1:17:52
  beliefs in him should not perish, but have life
• 1:17:56
  everlasting. Verse 17, God did not send his
• 1:18:00
  Son to the world to condemn the world, he says, but that the
• 1:18:04
  world through him might believe, might be saved.
• 1:18:08
  I want to give someone an opportunity right now.
• 1:18:11
  Perhaps you've been following all through the sessions, or
• 1:18:15
  you're connected tonight for the first time online and across the
• 1:18:18
  globe. It pays to know Jesus, then it
• 1:18:22
  pays to love Jesus, then it pays to live for him.
• 1:18:26
  You cannot live for a God you do not love, and you cannot love a
• 1:18:30
  God you do not know. It starts with knowing Him.
• 1:18:33
  I want to give you an opportunity.
• 1:18:36
  Scattered across this beautiful auditorium of the balcony, I see
• 1:18:40
  many beautiful faces. I'm only asking for a bold and a
• 1:18:44
  sincere person who's seen the need to make it right with Jesus
• 1:18:49
  or to rededicate your life. I'm going to count 1 to 5.
