The other Side of Faith (Obtaining Testimonies) by Apostle Joshua Selman [WOFBEC 2024, Lagos–Nigeria] · Selah Media House

• 0:00
  Amen. Glory be to the name of the
• 0:05
  Lord. Thank you very much Pastor Poji
• 0:09
  for this opportunity. Please let's give him a big, big
• 0:11
  God bless you alongside his dear wife.
• 0:16
  My salutations to every man and every woman of God here.
• 0:20
  The Lord bless you in Jesus name.
• 0:22
  Let's lift our hands in one minute and cry again for wisdom.
• 0:27
  Let's cry that the Lord will speak to us in the name of
• 0:33
  Jesus. The Bible says for everyone that
• 0:35
  asketh receiveth is someone praying,
• 0:48
  Ask him to give you an encounter by his word.
• 0:52
  Bible says they go from strength to strength as many.
• 0:57
  As appear before the Lord in Zion, we look to Yahweh, Yahweh.
• 1:11
  Our hope is Yahweh, Yahweh. Yes, we look to Yahweh.
• 1:22
  Yahweh. Spirit of the living God, we
• 2:05
  pray that you will speak to our hearts and defy us maximally in
• 2:10
  this session. And to Jesus be all the glory.
• 2:15
  Amen and Amen. Please be seated.
• 2:19
  Please be seated. Thank you again for this
• 2:21
  opportunity. I want to request that you
• 2:26
  please lend me your attention. I want to share something that
• 2:29
  the Lord placed in my heart that I truly believe will help and
• 2:36
  add to our understanding as far as the walking's of faith is
• 2:41
  concerned. In this Kingdom we rise upon the
• 2:45
  strength of the light that we have.
• 2:48
  Hallelujah, the Bible says God called the light day, and the
• 2:54
  darkness he called night. And so day in the Spirit is not
• 3:00
  the chronological passage of time, but when your light comes.
• 3:05
  Hallelujah. Yeah, he called the light day,
• 3:11
  and the darkness he called night.
• 3:14
  And the Bible says weeping endures for as long as it is
• 3:17
  night, but joy comes with the morning.
• 3:22
  So I want us to pay attention. We're exploring in this
• 3:25
  conference faith in its entirety.
• 3:27
  When I saw the theme, I was really very encouraged because I
• 3:31
  think that many believers understand instinctively the
• 3:35
  subject of faith and its relevance to the believers life.
• 3:39
  But most people, and even those who have been raised by those
• 3:43
  who preach faith, have not really understood the entire
• 3:47
  dimensions of faith that are responsible for the holistic
• 3:51
  development and the victory of the believer.
• 3:55
  And I trust that all through the sessions in this conference that
• 3:58
  God will add line upon line, precept upon precept until we
• 4:03
  have a thorough understanding of the workings of faith.
• 4:08
  So Are you ready this afternoon? I'm teaching on a subject that I
• 4:12
  titled The Other Side of Faith. Please write it down and please
• 4:17
  listen. The other side of faith, the
• 4:24
  other side of faith. The Bible is full of other
• 4:27
  sides. When you read, I think that's
• 4:29
  Mark 435. Jesus said, let us go to the
• 4:33
  other side. There is always the other side
• 4:35
  to everything, and if you do not understand the other side of
• 4:40
  faith, you will not be standing on a very strong foundation.
• 4:46
  Hallelujah. Now let me begin this session by
• 4:49
  establishing a few things and please lend me your attention.
• 4:52
  Number one, I wrote here that the end of the believer's
• 4:56
  journey with God. Please listen.
• 4:58
  The end of the believer's journey with God is that you
• 5:02
  eventually become a manifestation of the glory of
• 5:07
  God. This is God's goal at the back
• 5:11
  of His dealing with all believers, regardless your
• 5:15
  assignment, regardless your background.
• 5:17
  The moment you begin to journey with God, this is the intent at
• 5:23
  the back of His mind, not just heaven are we together, not just
• 5:29
  victory over Satan as it were, but God's goal for every
• 5:34
  believer is that eventually in your Christian experience, you
• 5:38
  become a holistic capture of the glory of God.
• 5:43
  In Romans chapter 8, when we read from verse 18 and 19, the
• 5:46
  Bible says Paul is speaking now for I reckon that the sufferings
• 5:51
  of this present time, he says, and not worthy to be compared
• 5:56
  with the glory that shall be revealed in us.
• 6:01
  The next verse says for the NS expectation of creation awaited
• 6:04
  the manifestation of the sons of God.
• 6:08
  Are we together now? So the Bible tells us that there
• 6:10
  is a dimension of God's glory that God seeks to be revealed in
• 6:15
  a believer. In fact, the apostle coins it
• 6:17
  beautifully. He calls us living epistles.
• 6:21
  That means our lives should be an explanation.
• 6:24
  Of the multifaceted dimensions of God, Efficient to understand,
• 6:30
  says we are his workmanship. Are we still together, created
• 6:34
  in Christ? Jesus, he says unto good works,
• 6:36
  which God had at before time, at four time.
• 6:41
  It's a preordination. God is not just inventing it,
• 6:45
  hoping, you know, that He would make our lives become that.
• 6:48
  He was at the back of His mind at the point of our creation.
• 6:52
  So every believer must have this, that your life eventually
• 6:58
  should become a manifestation of the glory of God.
• 7:03
  So regardless where God finds you when he begins that journey
• 7:08
  with you as a believer, you must sustain this orientation that
• 7:12
  regardless my life, whether it carries any capture of glory and
• 7:17
  grace or not, that as I begin to walk with God, the end product
• 7:22
  of God's dealing with me are we together is that my life will
• 7:26
  eventually when you know this, it will sustain the staying
• 7:30
  power. It will give you the ability to
• 7:32
  continue even when you don't understand what God is doing.
• 7:36
  Are we together now? Yes, when you drive safe from
• 7:39
  here to the farthest part in Lagos for over 99% of your
• 7:44
  journey, you do not see your destination.
• 7:46
  But the awareness that it is there, it motivates you to
• 7:49
  continue. Are we learning already?
• 7:53
  So most believers are at a loss as to what God is doing with
• 7:57
  them exactly. They just know instinctively
• 8:00
  he's making a profit out of me. He's making an apostle, He's
• 8:03
  making a businessman. I tell you that is that is not
• 8:06
  enough motivation as far as the challenges you will have to
• 8:09
  overcome to become. You need to know that God's goal
• 8:13
  for me and you in Christ is that we eventually become a
• 8:18
  manifestation of the glory of God.
• 8:20
  Galatians 124 must become our testimony eventually, and they
• 8:25
  glorified. God.
• 8:27
  In me. Are we learning already?
• 8:31
  This is the first point I need to establish.
• 8:34
  So regardless what you are going through, whether you understand
• 8:37
  your work with God correctly or not, you must have this at the
• 8:40
  back of your mind. That the end.
• 8:42
  Of every believer's journey is that you and I become
• 8:46
  experientially a manifestation of the glory of God.
• 8:50
  I like the way Paul puts it teaching the Ephesians, the
• 8:53
  church in Ephesus in Ephesians, I believe chapter 3, understand
• 8:57
  he says to the intent that now onto principalities and powers
• 9:02
  in heavenly places might be made known by the ecclesia, the
• 9:06
  church, the manifold multifaceted wisdom of God.
• 9:14
  Hallelujah. The glory of God is a holistic
• 9:17
  capture of everything that makes God God, his wisdom, his power,
• 9:23
  his favor, every dimension, every component in God that
• 9:28
  makes him desired, that makes him admirable, that makes him
• 9:32
  worthy of our worship. He intends that it be imported
• 9:36
  and be made manifest in the life of the believer.
• 9:40
  That means eventually your life should become a sign and a
• 9:43
  wonder. It is true.
• 9:46
  This is not just something you claim, it is something you
• 9:48
  become. It's the end product of a
• 9:51
  journey that your life becomes a fearful wonder first to you and
• 9:56
  them to creation. This is how God is glorified.
• 9:59
  John 17 and verse 1. He lifted his voice to heaven.
• 10:02
  Jesus is praying now and he said, Father, the hour has come.
• 10:06
  He says, Glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.
• 10:11
  John chapter 15 and verse 8 Herein is our Father glorified.
• 10:16
  When ye bear much fruit, so shall you be my disciples.
• 10:21
  Verse 16 of the same chapter says, You have not chosen me.
• 10:24
  He says, but I have chosen you and ordained you.
• 10:27
  You know what it means to ordain, to legitimize your
• 10:30
  operation. I have ordained you and
• 10:33
  legitimized you to go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit
• 10:38
  will remain. God's goal for you and I in
• 10:43
  Christ is that we become eventually an experiential
• 10:48
  manifestation of the glory of God.
• 10:51
  Hallelujah. You must have this at the back
• 10:53
  of your mind. The second point that I want to
• 10:55
  establish very. Quickly is that our work with
• 10:59
  God and our exploits in the Kingdom, Listen carefully will
• 11:04
  always demand partnership with the realm of the Spirit.
• 11:09
  Our work with God and our exploits in this Kingdom will
• 11:15
  always demand our partnership with the realm of the Spirit.
• 11:19
  The structure for manifestation is that the spirit and the bride
• 11:24
  say come, not the bride alone, not the spirit alone.
• 11:29
  It is the union of the spirit and the Bride that can say come.
• 11:33
  Healing comes when the Spirit says come and the bride also
• 11:37
  says come. Everything that happens on earth
• 11:40
  is a union between the spirit and the bride.
• 11:44
  So if the Spirit is saying come, if the Spirit is saying be
• 11:47
  lifted, is the Spirit is saying advance, and the Bride does not
• 11:51
  sustain the intelligence to work in partnership that may never
• 11:55
  manifest. Are we together now?
• 11:59
  At every point in your Christian life there will be a demand for
• 12:03
  partnership with the realm of the Spirit.
• 12:06
  Jesus began to teach us this in what we have come to know as the
• 12:08
  Lord's Prayer. He says, when you pray, pray in
• 12:11
  this manner, not just by this recitation, in this manner.
• 12:15
  Our Father, He says. Then he says which art in
• 12:18
  heaven. Immediately He tells you that he
• 12:20
  resides in a domain that is beyond physical.
• 12:23
  So you will. Need another technology to be
• 12:25
  able to make that connection. He's not physical like flesh and
• 12:30
  blood. Which art in heaven are we
• 12:33
  together now? That means any discussion
• 12:36
  between you and God will demand your awareness of the realm of
• 12:40
  the Spirit. Then in Hebrews Chapter 11,
• 12:42
  verse 3. We'll go there shortly.
• 12:44
  The Bible says true faith. We understand we were not there,
• 12:49
  but true faith we understand that the walls were framed.
• 12:53
  They had their material expression by the Word of God,
• 12:57
  so that the things which are seen, this is how the Spirit
• 13:01
  operates, were not made of the things which do appear.
• 13:07
  John 1 and verse 3 the Bible says all things were made by him
• 13:12
  and without him. That means outside of
• 13:14
  partnership with him the word was not anything made that was
• 13:20
  made. Are we together?
• 13:23
  So you must understand that your entire journey, this has nothing
• 13:29
  to do with whether you're a man of God in ministry or a
• 13:31
  businessman, a career person, a family person.
• 13:34
  The moment you come into this life, this Kingdom life, the
• 13:39
  demand is that you must consistently work in partnership
• 13:44
  with the realm of the spirit. In fact, James put it beautiful
• 13:48
  in chapter 2 and verse 26. He says he was teaching on faith
• 13:51
  and works and he borrowed an interesting phenomenon and he
• 13:55
  says or as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without
• 14:01
  works is dead also. That means anytime you see a
• 14:05
  material frame, there is a spirit component that sustains
• 14:09
  it. If your business only has a
• 14:11
  body, it will die. There has to be a spirit
• 14:14
  sustaining it. Are we together now?
• 14:18
  This was what David understood when he stood before Goliath.
• 14:22
  He said you are a body that is powered by a covenant.
• 14:25
  I come to you, he says. You come to me with your
• 14:27
  spheres, but I come to you in the name.
• 14:30
  This material frame is not what will fight you.
• 14:33
  There is a backing from the Spirit.
• 14:35
  This is what he was telling Goliath.
• 14:37
  It would be stupid for a young boy to stand before that beast.
• 14:42
  Veterans of war were running away from him, and here comes a
• 14:44
  very young teenager. Your Christian experience will
• 14:51
  always demand partnership with the realm of the Spirit.
• 14:55
  This is what necessitates the understanding of the subject of
• 14:59
  faith. Are we together now?
• 15:01
  So four times in the Bible Scripture says that just shall
• 15:05
  live by faith. You find that first in Hebrews
• 15:08
  chapter 2 and verse 4. Please write for reference
• 15:11
  Hebrews 2 and verse 4. Then Romans 117.
• 15:17
  Then Galatians 311. Finally we find that in Hebrews
• 15:20
  1038. Habakkuk chapter 2.
• 15:24
  My apologies. Habakkuk chapter 2 and verse 4.
• 15:27
  Did I say Habakkuk? Yeah, Romans 117, Galatians 311,
• 15:32
  Hebrews 1038. All of this together they speak
• 15:36
  the same language that the just. In Christ, whoever is in Christ
• 15:40
  will live by faith. Now let's talk about faith.
• 15:44
  Are you ready? Hebrews 11.
• 15:47
  Thank you, Jesus. Hebrews 11.
• 15:51
  You see why church is a beautiful place.
• 15:52
  There are things you only get in church.
• 15:56
  I was glad when he said unto me, They said unto me, Let us go to
• 16:00
  the House of the Lord. Hebrews, Chapter 11.
• 16:05
  This we have known and believed to be about the most concise
• 16:10
  capture of the subject of. Faith.
• 16:12
  Let's look at verse one. Please lend me your attention.
• 16:16
  This is truly where my teaching starts.
• 16:18
  It says now faith is the substance of things.
• 16:24
  Everybody say things. Please one more time say things,
• 16:28
  the substance of things hoped for.
• 16:31
  Then it says the evidence of things not seen.
• 16:35
  One more time say things. So verse one carries an idea
• 16:40
  that faith has to do with things.
• 16:44
  Are we together? The common expression there is
• 16:47
  that faith is the substance, the tangibility of the things that
• 16:52
  we hope for. Then it calls it the evidence of
• 16:55
  the things. So faith has to do with things.
• 17:01
  Number one. This dimension is not new and
• 17:04
  strange to the average believer. We understand that faith gives a
• 17:10
  man capacity to obtain things. Are we together?
• 17:14
  But I want to introduce to you another dimension, and This is
• 17:17
  why I call it the other side of faith.
• 17:20
  Let's read verse 2 together to a Christian.
• 17:23
  Let's shout verse 2 together. Ready one to read for.
• 17:27
  By it one more time please. What did the elders obtain?
• 17:38
  A good report. So the Bible tells us that #1
• 17:44
  faith is required to deal with the matter of things, but that
• 17:50
  there is a dimension to faith that many believers do not
• 17:53
  understand. It does not deliver things.
• 17:55
  It delivers a testimonial, a good report.
• 18:01
  It says all the elders in Hebrew, Hebrews 11.
• 18:04
  They obtained a good report. So from Scripture here #1 we see
• 18:12
  that faith has two assignments. Please pay attention.
• 18:16
  Number one, the first assignment of faith is to deliver desires
• 18:22
  and deliver promises that are consistent with the will of God.
• 18:28
  The first assignment of faith as revealed here is as a platform
• 18:33
  that delivers desired expectations, that delivers
• 18:38
  promises. But this is not the only
• 18:40
  assignment of faith in God's economy.
• 18:44
  The most superior assignment of faith, Listen carefully is a
• 18:49
  platform for obtaining good report.
• 18:54
  What is good report? A testimonial before God.
• 18:59
  I looked up that word testimonial testimonial and let
• 19:02
  me read for you what I found. Then we continue.
• 19:04
  Is God speaking to someone already?
• 19:07
  A testimonial is defined as a written declaration certifying
• 19:13
  to a person's character, conduct or qualification.
• 19:17
  I take it again, a testimonial is a written declaration
• 19:23
  certifying to a person's character, a person's conduct or
• 19:28
  a person's qualification from which recommendations are made.
• 19:35
  That means the basis for promotion, the basis for
• 19:38
  increase, is When you examine a man's testimonial, are we
• 19:42
  together? In corporate life?
• 19:44
  You don't promote people emotionally and arbitrarily.
• 19:47
  No, there is a record. Are we together?
• 19:50
  A record of service? A record.
• 19:52
  It is the recommendation whether to leave that person at that
• 19:56
  level or promote him to a higher.
• 19:59
  Realm. Is at the basis of examining his
• 20:01
  testimonial and the Bible says the assignment of.
• 20:05
  Faith is to print out your testimonial, what will present
• 20:09
  before God and life that necessitates your rising,
• 20:13
  necessitates your advancement. And the Bible says with that
• 20:16
  faith all the elders obtain good reports.
• 20:22
  Hallelujah. That means everywhere we study
• 20:25
  faith in the Bible, you must look out for these two things #1
• 20:30
  desires and expectations obtained, but #2 reports and
• 20:35
  testimonials established. If your perspective of faith is
• 20:39
  only about receiving things and desired expectations, there is a
• 20:44
  side of God you will never experience and there is a side
• 20:48
  of grace you will never touch. Are we together now?
• 20:52
  Now the average believers understanding of faith is just
• 20:56
  with respect to things and you are right, it is only that you
• 21:00
  are incomplete. That's why verse one starts by
• 21:03
  telling us that now faith is are we still together?
• 21:06
  The substance of things and the evidence of things.
• 21:12
  One more time the substance of things and the evidence of
• 21:16
  things and things are very important.
• 21:18
  Mark 1124 Jesus was teaching, and he says, What things so ever
• 21:23
  ye desire, he says when. Ye.
• 21:26
  Pray believe that thou receiveth them, and thou shalt have them.
• 21:32
  So there is a place for obtaining promises.
• 21:36
  Scripture calls them exceeding great and precious promises.
• 21:39
  It says that by them we might be the partakers of His divine
• 21:43
  nature. Having escaped the corruption
• 21:45
  that is in the world through lost through faith.
• 21:50
  Many obtain promises in Scripture.
• 21:53
  But that faith through faith, Bible faith is not limited to
• 21:57
  just obtaining things. There is a higher and more
• 22:01
  superior assignment of faith. We by faith obtain good reports.
• 22:08
  Are we still together? Now let's look at Hebrews
• 22:10
  eleven. My God verse. 4.
• 22:16
  The Bible then to buttress this understanding, it lists for us
• 22:21
  five people among others, in fact many of them but the first
• 22:26
  five. I want to examine the 1st 5
• 22:29
  personalities in the Bible that he calls elders.
• 22:33
  You will find out that none of them necessarily received any
• 22:36
  promise, but they all receive. Reports.
• 22:39
  Because you will be learning that there are sometimes in your
• 22:42
  journey where the promise is not yet in view.
• 22:44
  And because of that the devil will make you believe you are
• 22:47
  not working by faith. Yet there is a report.
• 22:49
  The whole journey is building a track record.
• 22:54
  Go to verse 4. Let's hurry up forsake of time.
• 22:57
  I'm just starting my session now.
• 22:58
  He says by faith. The first elder that the Bible
• 23:02
  now begins to teach us faith using his life is the man Abel.
• 23:07
  He says by faith Abel offered unto God, Are we still together?
• 23:11
  A more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained
• 23:16
  witness a testimonial. What was his testimonial?
• 23:20
  That he was righteous. That is it.
• 23:24
  He didn't obtain things. But there was a testimony before
• 23:28
  God that He was righteous, willing to give everything to
• 23:31
  honor God. And the Bible still calls it
• 23:34
  faith. This is the number one
• 23:36
  personality that the Bible used. So you need to understand the
• 23:40
  mind of God in discussing faith. Are you ready for number 2 #2 is
• 23:44
  called Noah. Please give it to us verse 5.
• 23:49
  Let's hurry up, media, let's work together.
• 23:51
  Verse 5. Still Hebrews 11 and verse 5.
• 23:57
  OK, Enoch, my apologies. The Bible says by faith Enoch
• 24:01
  was translated. Remember he's telling us elders
• 24:04
  now that he should not see death and was not found because God
• 24:10
  had translated. Him read the remaining part
• 24:12
  please for before his translation verse 5.
• 24:15
  Now just keep verse 5 media. For before his translation, he
• 24:20
  had this testimony that he pleased God.
• 24:25
  This was his report. Second individual, no mention of
• 24:37
  things, but there was a testimony.
• 24:40
  Are you ready for number six verse?
• 24:43
  Go to verse 7. The third person I believe.
• 24:47
  The man Noah. Are you ready for Noah now?
• 24:49
  So we have looked at #1 Abel #2 Enoch #3 by faith again.
• 24:58
  Noah been warned of God, of things not seen as yet.
• 25:02
  The Bible says he was. Moved with reverence, reverence,
• 25:08
  he prepared an ark to the saving of his house by which he
• 25:12
  condemned the world and became an heir of righteousness by
• 25:17
  faith. That was his testimony that he
• 25:20
  referenced God. He took God seriously.
• 25:23
  When God spoke, he did not join the mockers to mock him.
• 25:27
  Are you ready for #4? Let's go to verse 11.
• 25:37
  The 4th personality that the in that order is the man Abraham
• 25:43
  that we know and call the Father of faith.
• 25:46
  Let's go to verse 11/11/11. Hebrews by faith Abraham when he
• 25:55
  was called to go into a place watch this now, which he should
• 25:59
  after receive for an inheritance, the Bible says he
• 26:03
  obeyed. And he went out not knowing
• 26:07
  where he was going to go. That's verse 8.
• 26:10
  Jump to verse 11. Please jump to verse 11.
• 26:14
  Thank you through faith. No, no, no Hebrews 11 and 11.
• 26:18
  Thank you through faith. He says Sarah also received
• 26:22
  strength watch this to conceive seed and was delivered of a
• 26:27
  child when she was past her age. What was her report?
• 26:30
  She judged him faithful that had promised.
• 26:36
  Is someone learning now? So can you see that the Bible
• 26:40
  tells us that these elders, do you know that not all of them
• 26:44
  obtained promises? You want me to show you in the
• 26:46
  Bible? The Bible talks about women who
• 26:50
  died, who called their dead back to life, and others rejected
• 26:54
  willingly the promise for a better resurrection.
• 26:59
  There were those who had the power to receive deliverance,
• 27:02
  but they chose report modern things.
• 27:05
  They said in God's economy, having a testimony before God is
• 27:10
  greater than just obtaining things.
• 27:12
  And they had the power to be delivered, but they say will not
• 27:15
  be delivered. And yet the Bible called all of
• 27:17
  them. Elders, are we learning now?
• 27:24
  Because you see, the character of faith is this, watch this.
• 27:32
  The testimony of knowing and trusting God through the journey
• 27:38
  is most superior to the desires obtained in the journey.
• 27:42
  The testimony. You're becoming with God is
• 27:45
  greater than you're receiving both of them are important and
• 27:50
  needed for your overall excelling but in order of
• 27:53
  spiritual priority, the testimony of your trust in God,
• 27:58
  the testimony of your becoming that spiritual evolution is of
• 28:02
  greater value in the spirit than obtaining things.
• 28:09
  Are we together? Any faith, Johnny?
• 28:13
  I wrote here. Should leave you knowing and
• 28:16
  trusting God better even more than the results you obtain.
• 28:21
  So if all you show me in your work with God are the physical
• 28:25
  materials that come by engaging the Word, I will congratulate
• 28:29
  you. But I will tell you there is a
• 28:30
  side of God you do not yet know. Are we learning?
• 28:36
  So? Bible faith, therefore, is a
• 28:39
  combination of reports and promises obtained, not promises
• 28:44
  alone. Bible faith is a combination of
• 28:48
  a testimonial before God and then the promises that come.
• 28:56
  Are we together? There is faith as a school.
• 29:00
  There is faith as a journey that helps you know God in his
• 29:04
  various dimensions and the Bible says it gives you a noble
• 29:09
  report. Second Timothy 1 and verse 12.
• 29:13
  The apostle was speaking, and he says, I know whom I have
• 29:16
  believed, I know whom I have. Believed.
• 29:20
  I didn't just believe Him. I know whom I have believed.
• 29:24
  You can try to walk out and believe who you do not know.
• 29:27
  Jesus was rebuking the woman at the well, and he said you
• 29:30
  worship you. What you do not know.
• 29:32
  So you can have all of the activities of religion happening
• 29:37
  and yet you do not know him. Remember in Athens they were
• 29:40
  bowing down and wrote an inscription to an unknown God.
• 29:46
  He says I know whom I have believed.
• 29:48
  Are we still together? It says, and I am persuaded,
• 29:52
  please go back to Second Timothy, that he's able to keep
• 29:56
  that which is committed unto him, the end point of this
• 30:00
  journey of faith with God. When you obtain that
• 30:03
  testimonial, it plans conviction.
• 30:06
  That conviction is the raw material that brings promises.
• 30:11
  Are we together now? Yes.
• 30:13
  See when you meet people who just mechanically believe God,
• 30:17
  you see the difficulty in trying to receive the embarrassment.
• 30:21
  Their ego is on the line. They are hoping the war does not
• 30:24
  fail them. There is no testimony yet.
• 30:26
  They are just trying to obtain as proof that they met God.
• 30:30
  But a man that has a testimony with God is not embarrassed
• 30:33
  whether results come or not, because he has obtained A nobler
• 30:37
  part. And can I tell you, for such
• 30:40
  people, results always happen eventually.
• 30:48
  Halima Shapran Das ka Villa Caparo Theatre.
• 30:55
  Do you believe what you're hearing?
• 30:58
  Listen, the Bible lets us know that faith on one hand, let me
• 31:08
  repeat again for your understanding, is a platform, a
• 31:12
  spiritual platform that converts spiritual realities.
• 31:15
  Remember what Paul said that we have been blessed with all
• 31:18
  spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.
• 31:21
  I have other sessions. Who deal with the dynamics of
• 31:23
  obtaining promises. But to start my session tonight,
• 31:27
  it's important that we bring this other side of.
• 31:30
  Faith. Because there are many people
• 31:32
  you've been trusting God, as you call it, for many promises to be
• 31:36
  made manifest. And if they say those who have
• 31:38
  faith stand up, you may feel. Embarrassed because you do not
• 31:41
  have any physical evidence, but I'm telling you that faith does
• 31:45
  not stop at. Things.
• 31:47
  There is a report you have in the Spirit.
• 31:51
  I don't have a job yet, but my prayer life has grown trust in
• 31:55
  God. I don't have a job yet, but God
• 31:58
  kept me through 2023 not knowing everyone There is, there is.
• 32:03
  All the names of God, you see, were products of experiences.
• 32:07
  They did not just name him arbitrarily.
• 32:09
  No, there was an experience that produced the knowledge of Rafa
• 32:13
  and Jaira and Sikenu. God has not stopped being named.
• 32:19
  Your entire spiritual journey should give God a name.
• 32:22
  That should be your gift to a generation.
• 32:24
  But in my work with God I have come to.
• 32:27
  Learn him so you can stand like the Samus, and said, the Lord is
• 32:35
  my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid of?
• 32:39
  He says, the Lord is the strength of my life.
• 32:42
  This is conviction. Conviction because there are
• 32:45
  many believers who have been discouraged.
• 32:48
  There are people post COVID, there are many believers who are
• 32:51
  trying to recover. I trusted God and yet this
• 32:54
  person died. I trusted God and this person
• 32:58
  battled cancer And you know, sometimes we just cover it up
• 33:01
  quietly in church and will say, well God is faithful, but there
• 33:04
  are many believers about to live the things of God because it
• 33:07
  does not make. Sense the reason is because we
• 33:09
  have given a definition that only ends up obtaining things.
• 33:13
  I am. Singing a dimension for you.
• 33:15
  Like Job said, though he slay me, yet will I trust him.
• 33:21
  Listen. This is what gives stability to
• 33:24
  the believers experience. So people who ask and say, why
• 33:28
  do you rejoice? No house yet, no car yet, and
• 33:31
  you tell them the things have not come.
• 33:34
  But there is a testimony of faithfulness through the storm.
• 33:38
  There is a testimony of singing in the midst of the storm.
• 33:42
  This one is called faith. Hallelujah.
• 33:47
  Listen, Job had things, but Job did not have a testimony.
• 33:52
  And Satan told God, based on what we read in Scripture, he
• 33:56
  said he's only serving you because of things.
• 33:59
  And God said you can take the things.
• 34:01
  Let the man get the testimony, let the man get the testimony.
• 34:06
  Let things go away, but let the testimony remain and the wife of
• 34:11
  Job said, why do you still hold on to your integrity, trust God
• 34:15
  and die. And Job said all the days of my
• 34:18
  appointed time there were no things.
• 34:21
  His body was not healed, but there was a testimony hear me.
• 34:31
  And then in Job chapter 42 and verse 10, the Bible says and God
• 34:37
  restored things will always happen when the track record is
• 34:43
  established. Remember, I define for you a
• 34:48
  testimonial as a credential that is is a concise capture of your
• 34:54
  integrity, your character, your trustworthiness.
• 34:57
  That is the basis for your being recommended.
• 35:01
  Can I tell you there are many of you.
• 35:04
  I have always read the story of Mary Gabriel comes to Mary and
• 35:08
  say you are highly favored. I do not see our definition of
• 35:12
  favour happen for once in the life of Mary because everything
• 35:16
  that surrounded her life after that announcement was
• 35:18
  controversy and trouble. So I don't understand, Gabriel.
• 35:22
  You came from the presence of God and you tell a woman?
• 35:25
  She's highly favoured and the next thing is 1 trouble after
• 35:29
  the other. You will be learning that for
• 35:35
  you to truly be a champion in the Spirit, you must have both
• 35:39
  crowns and scars. Listen, the difference between
• 35:45
  Jesus and the 24 elders. All of them have crowns, but
• 35:49
  only one has His scow on His hand.
• 35:57
  When you get to heaven and you are searching for those with
• 35:59
  crowns. Mattias have crowns.
• 36:02
  Elders have crowns, many have crowns but such for the one
• 36:07
  whose car is a testimony of love that he had the option of
• 36:11
  calling 10,000 angels yet because of his love.
• 36:16
  So when the Bible says for God so loved the world.
• 36:19
  It was not a statement. Is a report card my?
• 36:30
  Beloved. Listen to me, there are times
• 37:30
  Abraham, your faith is focused on giving back to Isaac, whereas
• 37:36
  God is focused on changing you from Abraham to Abraham.
• 37:41
  The whole journey of faith of Abraham, he just wanted to see
• 37:45
  Isaac manifest, yet God's interest was making him Abraham,
• 37:50
  not Abraham. Sarai to Sarah, Saul to Paul
• 37:58
  receive us to Peter. Every time God met man, his
• 38:02
  interest was them before their conditions because it
• 38:09
  transformed. You cannot remain in the same
• 38:11
  condition that met your old self.
• 38:15
  Do you believe what you are hearing?
• 38:18
  I'm teaching you authentic Bible faith that makes you a champion
• 38:22
  in this Kingdom. So you can laugh through storms
• 38:32
  and when those who do not ask, they don't, they don't love God.
• 38:36
  They ask you questions. But you just lost your father.
• 38:39
  Why are you dancing and rejoicing?
• 38:41
  But it looked like you, I mean your office just packed up.
• 38:44
  Where is your God? The next time they ask you tell
• 38:47
  them while things are on their way coming there is a report and
• 38:51
  accreditation in the Spirit. Who is God speaking to?
• 39:00
  Now? I've given you an answer and an
• 39:02
  answer you have been desiring. What answer do I give men when
• 39:06
  they say where is your God? Tell them the problem is your
• 39:09
  understanding. Don't miss any session.
• 39:15
  I will be teaching you what we call results in the Kingdom.
• 39:19
  Because you see, everything we call results in the Kingdom is
• 39:23
  with respect to the will of God, beyond your desire.
• 39:27
  We're going to examine the subject of results.
• 39:32
  Are we together? So there are some of you.
• 39:35
  While heaven is clapping for you already a champion is imagining
• 39:40
  the Spirit. You are busy saying God, but the
• 39:42
  car has not come. And God says, you mean the five
• 39:45
  years training is just to give you a car.
• 39:48
  No, come on. No, come on.
• 39:51
  Hallelujah, you've forgotten the discipline of prayer that
• 39:58
  situation brought for you, that it was on account of it.
• 40:02
  I know the man eventually died, but how about the three hours
• 40:05
  prayer every night now that the person is gone?
• 40:09
  It has become a habit in you. You can't undo it again.
• 40:12
  That is a track record in the spirit.
• 40:15
  How about your diligence, A heightened level of consecration
• 40:19
  you came into? Although listen.
• 40:22
  The reason most of you do not know why sometimes God keeps
• 40:25
  quiet regardless what you are going through is not that He's
• 40:28
  irresponsible. He has found your confusion as a
• 40:31
  healthy tool that leads you to His presence.
• 40:35
  He will prefer to leave you there until you get there.
• 40:38
  As He trains you, He will give you a higher perspective.
• 40:41
  And He's not afraid of time passing because He can restore.
• 40:44
  He's not afraid of things leaving because He can restore.
• 40:50
  Listen, all through the time that Job went through his
• 40:54
  tragedy, God never spoke until chapter 38.
• 41:02
  And when God shows up, you would think you would come for Job and
• 41:06
  say Job, I understand, He said. Who is this that duck in a
• 41:09
  council without knowledge? Shamala Soprani ke Palakuzi
• 41:20
  attack. This is the victory that
• 41:30
  overcomes the world, even our faith.
• 41:35
  Are you taking a minute or two to absorb this reality as an
• 41:42
  imprint upon your spirit? Hallelujah.
• 42:03
  Listen to me. I hope you know that Jacob's
• 42:09
  frustration in the Bible. Watch this now in chapter 28 of
• 42:14
  Genesis the Bible says Jacob came to a place called Laws and
• 42:19
  he lay there to sleep. And then the Bible tells.
• 42:23
  US. Watch this that he saw a ladder
• 42:27
  that us that went to the heavens and angels ascending and
• 42:31
  descending. He was not transformed with that
• 42:33
  encounter because all he was looking for was things.
• 42:38
  The next thing that will happen to Job's life was his tragedy in
• 42:42
  the House of Laban, and Laban began to manipulate him against
• 42:46
  the indices of things. But by the time we get to
• 42:49
  Genesis chapter 32, the Bible says for him to receive an
• 42:53
  encounter, he had to dismiss things.
• 42:56
  Cows go away, wives go away. When he was alone, no things.
• 43:02
  God said you are ready for a report now.
• 43:05
  And he came to him, and in all of that encounter, there was
• 43:09
  nothing about things he said, What is your name?
• 43:15
  Oh, it bless me. Oh, and God says, let me show
• 43:17
  you how we bless in. The Kingdom we give you
• 43:20
  credibility in the Spirit. Hear me, let me speak to a man
• 43:25
  of God here. You ministry may not look like
• 43:28
  it is working, but there is credibility you are establishing
• 43:31
  in the Spirit. This is what the Bible means
• 43:34
  when he says Jesus. I know Paul, I know he.
• 43:39
  They are not known in the Spirit because they have.
• 43:42
  They are known in the Spirit because of what they have
• 43:44
  become. There is a registering the
• 43:47
  Spirit where the rankings of men are recorded.
• 43:51
  This is what translates to authority within the cosmos.
• 43:54
  You don't just tell people be healed just because you saw it
• 43:57
  in Scripture. Believe me, you'll be
• 43:59
  disappointed. There is a level of stature that
• 44:02
  is established in the Spirit on account of your becoming.
• 44:07
  Let no man trouble me, he said. For I bear in my body there is a
• 44:11
  record that I've served God in the midst of.
• 44:13
  Faith. Take his heart for me.
• 44:23
  Is God speaking to someone for by?
• 44:31
  It the elders. Obtain.
• 44:35
  There are many. Elders that did not obtain
• 44:38
  anything in terms of promises, the Bible still asks them.
• 44:42
  There were others who were brought back to life, but there
• 44:45
  were others who refused. They rejected deliverance and
• 44:50
  the Bible still called all of them elders.
• 44:53
  The one thing all of them had was face.
• 44:57
  Then in verse 37 it says time will fail me to talk of Gideon
• 45:02
  and Jafta and Barack. It says men who to faith subdued
• 45:07
  kingdoms who are getting there, shut the mouth of lions, rot
• 45:10
  righteousness, obtain promises. But then it does not stop there.
• 45:18
  Verse 34. It says quench the violence of
• 45:21
  fire escapes, the edge of the sword out of weakness were made
• 45:25
  strong. Once valiant in fight, turned to
• 45:29
  flight. The armies of the aliens, 35
• 45:32
  women who received their dead back to life and others were
• 45:35
  tortured. Watch this not accepting
• 45:38
  deliverance that they might obtain.
• 45:43
  So they still obtain something the Bible calls.
• 45:45
  It a good report Hallelujah. Do you know how the anointing
• 45:53
  how olive is made you carry the olive and then in the squeezing
• 46:00
  and in that pressing They will keep going around and pressing
• 46:04
  it. When you sympathize with the
• 46:08
  condition of the olive oil will never go.
• 46:13
  There are many. The human spirit never truly
• 46:17
  yields itself voluntarily. No, there are situations that
• 46:22
  compel you. Yours is to give God permission
• 46:27
  to have access to that making process.
• 46:35
  So while the devil is mocking you, I'm saying your life is not
• 46:39
  rising, no job, no money you have broke and your entire six
• 46:44
  hours prayer is full of a determination to force things to
• 46:48
  manifest. God is saying things will come.
• 46:51
  They will so come, but not to this version of you.
• 46:57
  You are the one I want to change.
• 46:59
  I I will change you to a version that.
• 47:01
  Cars will not stop coming to. And that is when, before you
• 47:06
  call, you will answer. He will give the hidden as an
• 47:09
  inheritance for you. Do you believe what I'm saying?
• 47:14
  Man of God, there is a version of you that members have been
• 47:17
  sent to come to. Not this version.
• 47:20
  No, not the weak and the lazy version.
• 47:23
  Not the competitive and the jealous version.
• 47:26
  No. So while you pray and say Lord,
• 47:28
  bring increase. He now says go for seven days
• 47:31
  fasting and at the end of it you are disappointed because you
• 47:34
  think in that instruction he will tell you the strategy for
• 47:37
  church growth and you will never hear anything about church
• 47:40
  growth. Your disappointment because part
• 47:43
  of the raw materials for your making.
• 47:47
  Now you understand that the Bible says for we know that all
• 47:51
  things all with the mastery of a chef, God is able to make all
• 47:58
  things your pain, your disappointment, they all become
• 48:03
  ingredients to produce something that is presented to the nations
• 48:07
  as a trophy. We call it glory, the glory of
• 48:11
  God in and through your life. Can I tell you show me any man
• 48:16
  in scripture, in modern history and in the church today who is a
• 48:21
  champion of faith. If the only thing you see is
• 48:24
  promises, runaway, runaway. When you listen to great men,
• 48:31
  you don't listen just about the promises.
• 48:35
  The promises are flashy, but the report is why the promises
• 48:38
  remain. Are we together if we ask for
• 48:44
  support? You now to tell us the story of
• 48:46
  his journey of this church and his journey with God.
• 48:49
  You are going to find many points in the history of this
• 48:52
  church where certain promises, when the promises don't come,
• 48:56
  they are on their way. Sometimes they are not delayed
• 48:59
  by demons. They are delayed by the laxity
• 49:01
  in your transition. This is why it's important you
• 49:07
  manage your prayer about God destroying enemies because maybe
• 49:12
  you'll be learning in the course of this conference who an enemy
• 49:15
  of God is. An enemy of God is not someone
• 49:18
  you hate. No, an enemy of God is anyone
• 49:22
  who becomes a consistent interruption to the
• 49:26
  manifestation of His will, even if it is Jonah.
• 49:33
  The jealousy of God fights anything that takes his place
• 49:38
  and interrupts his purposes, even if it is something he gave.
• 49:42
  That is why in the realm of the Spirit, promises don't amount to
• 49:45
  much. Not that they are, they are
• 49:48
  inconsequential, they are needed, but your track record,
• 49:52
  your testimonial in the Spirit. My dear sister, please hear me.
• 49:58
  Once you are trusting God to give you a job in Lagos, once
• 50:02
  you are trusting God to manifest certain things, I want you to
• 50:06
  not disrespect the health in your prayer that has come as a
• 50:09
  result of that, the health in your work, study, life.
• 50:13
  Somebody told you, oh come, I will sleep with you and give you
• 50:17
  a job and you refuse. And now you are feeling stupid
• 50:20
  for refusing because there are many people who are just
• 50:23
  conscious of things and they are saying what is there and they
• 50:27
  are saying about God after refusing when when Joseph
• 50:31
  refused, there was the name of that woman, Potiphar's wife.
• 50:36
  You would expect God to just intervene and reward him
• 50:39
  immediately. Do you know how many years he
• 50:41
  spent in the prison for refusing?
• 50:44
  That was his track record. You see the pattern now?
• 50:52
  There are many times believers think just because of standing
• 50:56
  for righteousness, certain promises manifest immediately.
• 51:00
  They will come, but you will celebrate their coming when you.
• 51:03
  Change. That is when you see the beauty
• 51:06
  of the manifestation. Can I tell you there are many
• 51:09
  people's Christian lives today who have become defeated because
• 51:13
  promises were manifested to the wrong versions of them.
• 51:18
  The version that received the 1 billion was not a consecrated
• 51:22
  version. The version there are certain
• 51:26
  temptations you have no business going through if God grants you
• 51:29
  grace to change. So there are times you are
• 51:31
  saying God just give me this 1 billion and God says it is in
• 51:35
  your destiny to have it. But you don't know the
• 51:38
  temptations that come into the realm of a 1 billion owner.
• 51:44
  You don't have the stamina to survive the attacks.
• 51:49
  Lord promote me to this office and He says it's in your
• 51:51
  journey. So you may go to the place of
• 51:53
  prayer and promotion is at your mind.
• 51:56
  It is not wrong, but you will find out that God's interest is
• 51:59
  not the promotion, and the more you yield to that becoming, the
• 52:05
  faster the promises come. Listen, for many years I studied
• 52:11
  why a lot of people have balloon results.
• 52:14
  Today you are up, tomorrow you disappear.
• 52:16
  The reason is because most people do not understand the
• 52:19
  power of this heritage of a spiritual testimonial.
• 52:27
  I will. Sing, I will pray.
• 52:34
  Even in my darkest, through the sorrow and the pain, I will see
• 52:43
  and I will pray. I lift my hands to honor you
• 52:51
  because your word is true. Listen, I lift my hands to honor
• 52:56
  you because your word is true. See it.
• 53:01
  I lift my hands to honor you because your word is true.
• 53:08
  I lift my hands through all of you because your word is true.
• 53:15
  I will see. Can I tell you Satan becomes
• 53:21
  utterly frustrated over a life that values reports beyond
• 53:29
  things because the basis of lost is things?
• 53:35
  The basis of the excelling of temptations over men is their
• 53:39
  passion for things, James said from when's comment This thing
• 53:43
  among you, does it not come from the lust of your heart?
• 53:46
  He say ye desire and you have not.
• 53:50
  When a man focuses on becoming, you have mastered the art of
• 53:54
  frustrating Satan becoming because he knows that having it
• 54:01
  or not having it will not affect your prayer life.
• 54:05
  Having it or not having it will not affect your word life.
• 54:09
  Having it or not having it will not affect your coming to
• 54:12
  church. If the car is not there, you
• 54:14
  will trek with honor and rejoice while you are on your way to
• 54:17
  church and nobody will know while you are celebrating the
• 54:21
  day you give testimonies, men will say by your behavior there
• 54:25
  was nothing that showed that there was this ups and downs and
• 54:28
  you will tell them It's because I have learned.
• 54:30
  That the most superior dimension to faith is my spiritual
• 54:35
  evolution. But can I tell you, for everyone
• 54:39
  who remained alive in Scripture who contended for a good report,
• 54:44
  eventually promises came without.
• 54:47
  End I like. The way the book of Job
• 54:50
  concludes, he says and Job, God turned the captivity of Job give
• 54:56
  us place as I wrap up 42 and verse 10 and Job God turned the
• 55:02
  captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends.
• 55:07
  He got to a point where he said, do you know what I trust God.
• 55:12
  I'm no longer the issue. God just keep take
• 55:14
  responsibility over what you are doing.
• 55:17
  Let me focus on my friends because I want them to also have
• 55:21
  that transition that I'm having. Let me intercede for them.
• 55:24
  There was a dimension of God. Joe only knew through the storms
• 55:28
  and through the pain and the Bible says, let's finish it so
• 55:31
  that you will see that God is faithful.
• 55:34
  He does not scam people. He's not a fraudster.
• 55:37
  His word can be depended upon. It's just the dynamics of his
• 55:41
  operation that many people do not know.
• 55:44
  They say, rejoice not over me, my enemies.
• 55:48
  This is what gives believers the staying power so that the day
• 55:51
  they call you and say the promotion has come, you'll say,
• 55:54
  all right, I will respond to you.
• 55:55
  I'm in church walking and they say, where's your excitement?
• 55:59
  They say no, I had it since. My growth, it's more important
• 56:03
  than that. Do you believe this?
• 56:15
  Let's finish that scripture. I have to wrap up.
• 56:16
  I have about 3 minutes left. The Bible says also the Lord
• 56:21
  gave Job twice as much as he had before, twice.
• 56:29
  Verse 11. How did it come?
• 56:32
  They came on to him, all his brethren and all his sisters.
• 56:36
  So he had brethren and sisters. Where did they suddenly go to
• 56:40
  during the time of his travel? And the Bible says all day, who
• 56:46
  had been of his acquaintance before?
• 56:48
  And they did eat bread, and bemoaned him, and comforted him
• 56:52
  over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him.
• 56:54
  I'm sure you have a better spiritual understanding to that
• 56:57
  expression. The Bible says and every man
• 56:59
  watch this, gave him a piece of money, so his money was already
• 57:04
  in the hands of men. The things you are praying for
• 57:07
  are not in heaven. Believe.
• 57:09
  Me. They are already in the hands of
• 57:12
  men because the Earth has he given to the sons of men, and
• 57:16
  the earth is still full. There are four elements of
• 57:19
  dominion according to Psalm 24. Number one is the earth #2 is
• 57:24
  the fullness, the resources there.
• 57:27
  Number 3 is the mindset that governs the cosmos #4 are the
• 57:31
  inhabitants. When God wants to give a man
• 57:33
  true dominion, he connects you to have authority across these
• 57:37
  four areas. The earth, land, the resources
• 57:42
  that are in the earth. As for the earth, out of it
• 57:45
  comes bread. He says the increase of the
• 57:47
  earth is for all that. Even the king is fed by that
• 57:50
  which comes from the field. You don't find money in heaven,
• 57:56
  you don't find all of that. They all reside within the
• 57:59
  cosmos. Your promotion is here already.
• 58:02
  Listen, when the Bible says all things are yours, I want you to
• 58:06
  believe it. The delay in its arrival is not
• 58:11
  necessarily your not understanding God.
• 58:13
  That's not the only reason, but the major reason for most
• 58:16
  believers is that God's interest is not just to give you things.
• 58:21
  You see, when you are really inclined in the realm of the
• 58:24
  Spirit, you will see that things do not have so much value.
• 58:27
  Satan was willing to give everything to Jesus if you would
• 58:32
  just bow down. He showed him the glories of the
• 58:37
  world. Is that in your Bible and said
• 58:39
  all these things have been given?
• 58:40
  All these things have been given just bow.
• 58:45
  I have a report that you've worshipped me.
• 58:48
  Since you are the express image of God, let me have it that you
• 58:53
  are that we can You have acknowledged my superiority and
• 58:57
  things can go. This is the system of
• 58:59
  negotiation when Satan comes to men.
• 59:02
  Do you know how men lose their souls?
• 59:04
  The Bible says what shall he profit a man if you would gain
• 59:07
  the whole world and lose your soul?
• 59:09
  The question is, there is a relationship between gaining the
• 59:12
  cosmos and losing your soul. Gaining in the cosmos is
• 59:15
  transactional. It will always be at the expense
• 59:18
  of your soul. You can know a man who has been
• 59:21
  blessed by God because he prospers even as his soul
• 59:25
  prospers. This is the one thing you cannot
• 59:27
  have with Satan. The moment you prosper by Satan,
• 59:33
  when the focus is on your getting things, that's what
• 59:35
  makes men. It makes men rich fools.
• 59:39
  You now understand the problem of the rich fool.
• 59:41
  He had things. But no track record.
• 59:44
  He said my soul find rest on things.
• 59:47
  And God said this is a foolish man.
• 59:50
  So when God wants to walk with you, the first thing is not to
• 59:53
  give you a car in a house. Don't think that I hate cars and
• 59:57
  houses. I hate poverty more than you.
• 1:00:00
  So don't think that I'm talking with some kind of no, but I want
• 1:00:04
  to show you a more excellent way because when you understand
• 1:00:08
  faith, there is a grace that gravitates things to you.
• 1:00:12
  I want you to believe this. There was an anointing when Noah
• 1:00:16
  had a track record with God. There was an anointing that came
• 1:00:20
  upon the ark. All the animals without being
• 1:00:23
  called, they began to come by themselves.
• 1:00:29
  This is the reason why the lives of many people look mysterious
• 1:00:34
  from nowhere. Someone will stand up and hold
• 1:00:36
  your hand in ministry and say I will help you and I will support
• 1:00:40
  you. And you are wondering where is
• 1:00:42
  this coming from? It is because once there is that
• 1:00:45
  track record in the Spirit, then you will understand the
• 1:00:49
  dynamics. So all that we have learned as
• 1:00:52
  far as obtaining promises are concerned, they are valid and
• 1:00:56
  powerful and true, consistent with the operation of the
• 1:00:59
  Kingdom. But I'm showing you another
• 1:01:01
  layer to it. Not a replacement, but an
• 1:01:04
  addition, A more superior addition that in the economy of.
• 1:01:10
  God. Before we now deal with the
• 1:01:12
  matters of confession and the rest, I will teach you all those
• 1:01:16
  dimensions in addition to all that you have learned, but that
• 1:01:20
  at the back of all your manifesting what you call faith,
• 1:01:23
  there is a settled understanding that it is not the result that
• 1:01:27
  controls my knowledge of God's faithfulness.
• 1:01:30
  No. Can we pray?
• 1:01:33
  Please rise. I will hold on through the storm
• 1:01:42
  and I will hold on to your body. My.
• 1:01:49
  Life will. Soon reveal you're the.
• 1:01:53
  Lifter of man. The lifter of man.
• 1:01:58
  In one minute my time is up. I want you to pray and say,
• 1:02:02
  Lord, I contend for a testimony in the Spirit, a testimony of my
• 1:02:07
  love for you, a testimony of my honor for you, regardless what
• 1:02:13
  happens around my life. I believe you for the best as
• 1:02:17
  declared by your world. You are not a man.
• 1:02:19
  That you should lie, nor the Son of man, that you should repent.
• 1:02:23
  But I add to my faith experience today the other side of faith.
• 1:02:29
  Beauty testimonials in the Spirit.
• 1:02:32
  That I love you.
