- 1:28her the first time when I came to preach for
- 1:31pasta Schola, and I think she just had a brief charge.
- 1:36And I said, Wow, this is a mighty woman of God,
- 1:39truly a mighty woman of God a man. And when
- 1:46we drove in here and I looked at the beautiful
- 1:49facility and everything, I said, No, the hand of God

- 2:04great ministry. Thank you, I honor you, every single man
- 2:10and woman of God. The Lord bless you in the
- 2:14name of Jesus. I believe that God is going to
- 2:17be speaking to us tonight, and I believe that our
- 2:21lives will never be the same.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Who is ready to receive tonight?
- 2:25Speaker 4: Would you lift those hands and cry onto God for
- 2:28a visitation tonight, Father, give me an encounter. Go ahead
- 2:33and pray. Father, give me an encounter in the name
- 2:42of Jesus Christ. Give me an encounter. Change my life.
- 2:54Let your word come with power, Let it transform me.
- 2:58The Bible says that trans of that word give it light,
- 3:02and it gave it understanding.
- 3:04Speaker 6: Onto the symbol. Someone is praying in Jesus' name, we pray.
- 3:26Speaker 4: Father, We thank you for the abundance of your presence,
- 3:32your wisdom, your power in this place. Thank you for
- 3:36the honor of bringing your word, your life to your people.
- 3:40I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, that this
- 3:43session will be most impactful, and that everyone under the
- 3:48sound of my voice, including those who are following from
- 3:50across the globe, that they will be mightily impacted by
- 3:55tonight's session. And to Jesus be all the glory, Amen
- 4:00and amen, please give Jesus a big hand club, and
- 4:03you may be seated.
- 4:08Speaker 1: You may be seated.
- 4:13Speaker 4: You may be seated, Jesus said the thief comment not
- 4:21but for to steal and to kill and to destroy
- 4:27Johnt Chapter ten Undus ten. He says, but I am
- 4:29calm that ye may have life, and that you have
- 4:34that life more abondantly. He came to give us life,
- 4:40and that we have that life more abondantly. Before I forget,
- 4:46I want to salute the Woman of God and this ministry.
- 4:49I understand it is forty years of impact by the spirit.
- 4:53Can we give Jesus a big hand clab forty years?
- 5:01And I truly believe that if Christ tarries for the
- 5:05next forty years, this ministry will only go from glory
- 5:08to glory. The Bible says, they that be planted in
- 5:13the house of God. He says, they shall flourish in
- 5:16the courts of our God. Then he says, in old
- 5:19age they will still be fat and flourishing. May this
- 5:23be the prophetic word for this ministry in the name
- 5:26of Jesus Christ, that as your days are, so shall
- 5:30your strength be. If someone receiving it as a prophetic word,
- 5:33I say it again that as your days are SoC
- 5:36shall your strength be. The older you get, the greater
- 5:40you become. Too, you will never have a better yesterday.
- 5:45I say it over your life. You will never have
- 5:47a better yesterday. For the Bible declares that the path
- 5:51of the just is as a shining light. It shines
- 5:55brighter and brighter. More and more I profess, I'm more
- 5:59and more over your life, more and more over your children,
- 6:03more and.
- 6:04Speaker 1: More over your career, more and more over your destiny,
- 6:08in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 6:11Speaker 4: And for someone, let me declare over you that door
- 6:13your beginning be small in this season. May God, who
- 6:17is the lifter of men, may he lift you beyond
- 6:21your background. May he lift you the one who lifted Esther.
- 6:25May he lift you the one who exulted Ruth. May
- 6:29he lift you the one who lifted Gideon. May he
- 6:32lift you in the name of Jesus Christ, that when
- 6:37the Lord turns again, your captivity to be like a dream.
- 6:41Speaker 3: That even the hidden who said the Lord and don't
- 6:43great things for us. It says the Lord has don't
- 6:46great things for us?
- 6:47Speaker 1: And where wrong?
- 6:47Speaker 4: We are glad turntain our captivities like the streams of
- 6:51the negative.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Any one here who has had to cry.
- 6:54Speaker 4: From January, February, March, April, May, June, July, a god September,
- 7:00now October, I decree and declare you will end.
- 7:03Speaker 1: The year with praise. You will end the year with
- 7:07pray in the name of Jesus. Least be seated who
- 7:18is lying him lion, and seated on the earth mountain.
- 7:30Smile down on the ocean wall to the King of kings.
- 7:40We will pray from the rising after the sun to the.
- 7:49Speaker 4: End of every day. Praise all the nations of team,
- 8:01all the head and the Saint see.
- 8:06Speaker 7: An' frame horizon out the sun to.
- 8:13Speaker 8: The end the very day, Raise all the nations a
- 8:23tear holy held and the Saint.
- 8:31Speaker 1: Amen.
- 8:33Speaker 4: I want to share with you very briefly, and I
- 8:35hope and pray that will have a bit of time
- 8:39to pray before my session is done, as a contribution
- 8:44to what God is doing all through this conference. Your
- 8:47honor to have great fathers of faith who will be
- 8:49standing upon this altar and be speaking over your life.
- 8:53Is impossible that you remain the same after this conference
- 8:57in the name of Jesus Christ Scriptures, and I'll begin
- 9:01to teach at chapter twenty six, please and verse twenty two.
- 9:08At chapter twenty six and verse twenty two, I want
- 9:15to share with you a mystery. Very briefly, this is
- 9:20the mystery that has been responsible for longevity of impact.
- 9:26Now for a foundation. God desires not only that we succeed.
- 9:33God desires not only that we advance, but he desires
- 9:38that we last away together. Now, the challenge with many
- 9:43believers is that we start well, but we have not
- 9:47mastered the technology that causes men to remain.
- 9:51Speaker 1: And so people rise, people.
- 9:53Speaker 4: Do well, people excel, and then at some point in
- 9:56their lives they seem to platau and then they begin
- 10:00to decline. But the Bible says, the path of the
- 10:03just is as a shining light in ministry, in destiny,
- 10:08in career. It should be as a shining light that
- 10:12shined more and more.
- 10:15Speaker 1: In fact, the Bible says it this way.
- 10:18Speaker 4: Better is the end of a matter than the beginning
- 10:21thereof Am I right on that That means God is
- 10:24always concerned about the latter part of things. It should
- 10:29never be that we begin well in ministry, we begin
- 10:32well in destiny, we begin well in family, we begin
- 10:36well in career, and then we plunge and become in
- 10:41a sorry state.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Unfortunately, this seems to be the lot of many believers.
- 10:47Speaker 4: They start well with vibrancy spiritually speaking, they start well
- 10:51with vibrancy career wise, and then at some point in
- 10:55their lives, for whatever reason, they seem to plot two.
- 10:59They don't go down, but they don't go up again.
- 11:02Then they get to a point where they begin to
- 11:04go down until they look worse than the states they
- 11:08were when they started. The Bible is full of people
- 11:12who finish well, exceptional people who run their race and
- 11:18finished well. The Bible is also full of people who
- 11:21unfortunately did not finish well.
- 11:25Speaker 1: I don't want to go through the story of people
- 11:28who did not.
- 11:29Speaker 4: End well in scripture, but I'm praying for you that,
- 11:33in the name of Jesus Christ, you will end well,
- 11:36that your life will become an inspiration to those who
- 11:39are coming after you, in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 11:43So let's go to the Book of Acts, and I'll
- 11:45establish a few things and then we pray Chapter twenty
- 11:49six of Acts and verse twenty two do we have
- 11:52it projected? Okay, so I'll read it from here, and
- 11:55then you'll follow carefully. Says, having therefore obtain help of God,
- 12:03I continue onto this day, witnessing both too small and great,
- 12:10saying none other things than those which the prophets and
- 12:14Moses says should come. I'm interested in the apor. Just
- 12:17give verse twenty two.
- 12:18Speaker 1: It says, having.
- 12:19Speaker 4: Therefore obtain help of God, I continue onto this day.
- 12:27Speaker 1: I continue.
- 12:29Speaker 4: That means God has to help and assist a man
- 12:32to continue and remain. God has to help a man
- 12:36to have longevity of impact in life, longevity of impact
- 12:42in ministry. If a man does not obtain help of God,
- 12:47regardless how zealous, regardless.
- 12:49Speaker 1: How well intentioned, I can tell you by the messes
- 12:52of God.
- 12:53Speaker 4: Even in this work of the ministry, I have seen
- 12:56people with solid character. I've seen people in tech gritty,
- 13:01but for whatever reason, they did not obtain the requiside
- 13:04help from God, and they still.
- 13:06Speaker 1: Felt like people who were full of compromise.
- 13:09Speaker 4: I have seen a mystery in my life as a
- 13:11man of God that under a certain condition, it seems
- 13:14like Both good and bad experience the same result.
- 13:17Speaker 1: The difference is the help of God over the life
- 13:20of a man.
- 13:22Speaker 4: The Bible says, accept the Lord built a house. It says,
- 13:26they labor, but they labor in vain that build it.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Accept.
- 13:30Speaker 4: The Lord watches over a city. I will learning tonight,
- 13:34it says the watch man watch it, but in vain.
- 13:37Speaker 1: It is vain.
- 13:38Speaker 4: It says to wake up early in the morning and
- 13:41to sleep late at night, only to eat the bread
- 13:44of sorrow. But it says God give it his beloved
- 13:48sleep that. If God does not help a man, there
- 13:54are times that your intelligence can fail if God does
- 13:58not help a man. Human connections are important, but human
- 14:03connections can be limited.
- 14:05Speaker 1: If God does not help a man.
- 14:07Speaker 4: You can have money, but you will be surprised at
- 14:11how many things money cannot do. If God does not
- 14:14help a man, you can have a good salmon and
- 14:17not have anyone interrusted in listening to you. If God
- 14:21does not help a man, you can be a man
- 14:23of character. But those who have the grace to help
- 14:27you will not even see you. It is not of
- 14:31him that winneth, nor of him that run it. It
- 14:37is of the Lord that show a messy who is
- 14:40learning already because we live in a world where we
- 14:45live in a celebrity age, where people like to take
- 14:50the credit for the exploits. They like to take the
- 14:53credit for the many things that happen around your lives.
- 14:56There is such an obsession to be a select britty,
- 15:00there is such an obsession to be exceptional.
- 15:04Speaker 1: And there's nothing wrong in itself with that, except that
- 15:07you get to a.
- 15:07Speaker 4: Point in your life where you can believe that the
- 15:12results that you have now produced have come as a
- 15:16result of the fastness of your prayer life, the fastness
- 15:19of your world study life, because of the accolades that
- 15:23follow you academically. Inasmuch as those things are not wrong,
- 15:27there is a life that powers those things to work.
- 15:31Speaker 1: It is called the help of God.
- 15:33Speaker 4: That without the help of God you can be as
- 15:35sound intellectually as you can be. You will still fail
- 15:39in life without the help of God. You can be
- 15:42skilled and gifted, you will still be ignored. Without the
- 15:45help of God. You can be a man of God.
- 15:48First in scripture, and you will be surprised that your
- 15:51life will not go forward.
- 15:53Speaker 1: You will be surprised that ministry will not go forward.
- 15:57Speaker 4: There are parents who raise their children and in a
- 16:01way that no child should be a tragedy after that
- 16:06kind of training, and yet almost all the children turn
- 16:09out to be a source of pain.
- 16:12Speaker 1: It was not lack of discipline.
- 16:14Speaker 4: And I've seen other people who did not make any
- 16:16investments in their children. And God me and that those
- 16:20children to ministries that midwife their training.
- 16:24Speaker 1: It is not of Him that we left.
- 16:29Speaker 9: You are eabanies, the helper of men. You are ebonies.
- 16:42Speaker 4: Behind the exploits of men, exploits in ministry, behind the
- 16:47exploits of men, exploits in the area of influence, finances, and.
- 16:51Speaker 1: So on and so forth.
- 16:52Speaker 4: I am telling you that there are laws to be obeyed,
- 16:56there are principles to be kept. I agree, but we're
- 16:59not on this said and done. There is a part
- 17:02of the equation of success that no man can feel.
- 17:06Speaker 1: It is only the help of God that becomes a
- 17:09complete of that equation.
- 17:14Speaker 4: Allelujah. I would always say that there are times when
- 17:21you desire to catch fish as a fisherman. If you
- 17:25want to catch fish as a fisherman, the right place
- 17:29to be is the sea. The right tool to use
- 17:33is your net and the boat. But pe time in
- 17:38John chapter twenty one. Being a professional fisherman, had the
- 17:43experience correct, had the boat correct, had the net correct,
- 17:50was at the right location correct, but it did not
- 17:54catch fish. There are times all the variables are right
- 17:58and mysteriously not know why things were working. It looks
- 18:02to me like sometimes God allows those things to happen
- 18:06deliberately to remind you that He's beyond a principle, to
- 18:11remind you that He is beyond a formula. Principles are powerful,
- 18:16but there is an agency beyond them. Well, learning haven't
- 18:22obtained help from the Lord. I continue ministry to this day.
- 18:27I continue career to this day. We live in a
- 18:31world where we are embarrassed to declare before the nations
- 18:34that God is the reason behind our results. We like
- 18:37to take credits for the things that God rots through us,
- 18:41and sometimes in doing so, we push God out of
- 18:45the space because we make him look like he's a nuisance.
- 18:49This celebrity mentality puts us in a position where we
- 18:53want to receive the accolage. If there is anything I
- 18:56have learned about God is that when you stand way
- 19:00of receiving glory, even if he's the one that blesses
- 19:03you or has blessed you to that position.
- 19:06Speaker 1: He will fight you.
- 19:08Speaker 4: God can fight something he once gave you because of
- 19:13the way you and that thing has interrupted him from
- 19:16being seen. Just because God gave you something does not
- 19:19mean it cannot become his enemy. The enemy of God
- 19:24is anyone and anything that perpetually becomes an interruption to
- 19:29his being glorified. That can be your gift. That can
- 19:32even be your church. God can fight good things. He
- 19:36does not only fight evil. God can fight good things.
- 19:40If they become an interruption to his being glorified, he
- 19:44will fight it. Let me tell you the truth. There
- 19:49are many people's decline in life that is not entirely demonic.
- 19:55Speaker 1: They made up their minds to take the place of God.
- 20:00Speaker 4: In Deuteronomy chapter eight, he began to push on the
- 20:05nation of Israel. And it says, let it not be
- 20:08that when you have built houses, let it not be
- 20:12that when all of these wonderful things have happened, you
- 20:15will say in your heart, my power and the might
- 20:18of my hand has gotten me these riches. Then it says,
- 20:23thou shall remember the Lord your God. You see, look
- 20:26at me, beloved. Something happens to believe us when we
- 20:31step into the realm of success. It makes a lot
- 20:34of sense to seek God when you are feeling. It
- 20:37makes a lot of sense to cry and fast and
- 20:40pray when things are not working. It makes a lot
- 20:43of sense to give when you are hoping that.
- 20:45Speaker 1: You will rise. But there is a weakness in men.
- 20:48Speaker 4: Please follow carefully. We're going somewhere. There is a weakness
- 20:52in men. When they step into a realm of results.
- 20:57Something happens to them. The Bible, as they can forget.
- 21:01They do not forget because they are evil. They forget
- 21:05because they are human.
- 21:10Speaker 1: Allelujah. It is easy to make all kinds of vows
- 21:15and covenance with God. Lord.
- 21:17Speaker 4: If you lived me, I promise that the nations will
- 21:19see me. If you prosper me, prosper my children, make
- 21:23all things to work well for me. But something there
- 21:27seems to be a weakness in all men that if
- 21:31God does not help you to term that weakness, it
- 21:35can cut shot your impact. So when men begin to rise,
- 21:41when convenience begins to come into your life, when God
- 21:45begins to give you a name as a man of God,
- 21:48when God multiplies your voice amplifies your impact gradually. It
- 21:54is a subtle indoctrination. It doesn't happen in one day.
- 22:01It's like a said doction that happens to you. You
- 22:05begin to convince yourself that honestly, without me, God's program
- 22:12cannot go forward. You begin to convince yourself it is
- 22:17at that point you become an enemy of God. Because
- 22:22if there is anything I know about God, he is
- 22:25passionate about being revealed and glorified in the world of men.
- 22:30And if anyone becomes an interruption to that agenda, I
- 22:34assure you you become an enemy of the Cross.
- 22:39Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 22:41Speaker 4: So to remind you that if you celebrate forty years
- 22:45of impact and you watch a metric like our mother,
- 22:49still working in humility and giving God praise after forty years,
- 22:53it is worthy of commendation. There are people who cannot
- 22:56last two years of experiencing results. It becomes a to them.
- 23:02The reason why God does not seem to answer the
- 23:05prayer of many people is not because his hands cannot
- 23:08be stretched. You have been weighed in the spirit, and
- 23:12God has seen that lifting you will become a cost
- 23:14to you, so he would rather peg your growth until
- 23:17he prunes the tendencies of pride, until he prones the
- 23:21tendencies of taking his place.
- 23:24Speaker 1: Who is learning tonight? It is true.
- 23:26Speaker 4: Let me tell you this as a secret. By the
- 23:29messes of God. I understand a few things about prayer.
- 23:34Every time you pray on an issue again and again,
- 23:37and you bind, you cast, you do everything people agree
- 23:41with you, and that situation does not change. It is
- 23:44not the money again. There is something in you that
- 23:48needs to be corrected For the answer. Maybe this is
- 23:52a word for.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Someone you have given. You did not increase. You were diligent.
- 23:57You did not increase. Oil was laid on you, hands
- 24:00were laid on you. Stop casting the devil.
- 24:03Speaker 4: Go back to God and say, work on me that
- 24:05weakness you are taming by my delay. Work on me
- 24:09so that it will give me liberty away together.
- 24:14Speaker 1: It is true.
- 24:19Speaker 4: It is God that knows the tendencies that I enshrined
- 24:22within our hearts, and he must there is a post
- 24:25sure that a believer must carry perpetually to last. Now
- 24:31I show you a secret, and then will pray. I
- 24:34want to show you one of the ways that God
- 24:36helps men. The Psalmi said, I will lift up my
- 24:42eyes onto the heels, and then he says, from whence
- 24:45comment my.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Help he says, my health, not our help.
- 24:49Speaker 4: I don't know where yours comes from, but my help
- 24:52comment from the Lord, the maker of the heavens.
- 24:55Speaker 1: And the earth. Let me show you a mystery.
- 25:00Speaker 4: This mystery has been responsible for the longevity of many
- 25:04people in ministry, in business, in career.
- 25:09Speaker 1: And I'm praying for you in the name of Jesus,
- 25:11that God will open your.
- 25:12Speaker 4: Eyes, that you will engage this mystery for your profiting,
- 25:17and that for the rest of your life you believe that.
- 25:19Shout a loud amen. Isaiah chapter forty. Please let's go
- 25:25to verse twenty eight. We're doing three verses Isaiah, chapter
- 25:32forty and verse twenty eight. The Bible starts by saying,
- 25:39hast thou not known, and hast thou not heard that
- 25:44the Everlasting God.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Pay attention.
- 25:47Speaker 4: Now he's talking about God, the Everlasting God, the Lord,
- 25:53the creator of.
- 25:54Speaker 1: The ends of the earth.
- 25:56Speaker 4: Feiging ted not take notes now introducing the subject of weariness.
- 26:03But he's saying, in discussing that subject, let us centrally
- 26:07first and foremost, that there is one who is exempted.
- 26:11Speaker 1: From that limitation by reason of who he is.
- 26:14Speaker 4: I'm about to talk about a subject, but he's saying
- 26:17so that you do not think it's a weakness that
- 26:19befalls all men. That God is exempted from this limitation.
- 26:24He fainted, not neither is weary. He says, there is
- 26:29no such of his understanding. So he expects you to
- 26:33get that as a preamble. Now that you understand that
- 26:36God is not weak and does not faith, he tells
- 26:39you something about the world of men.
- 26:41Speaker 1: Verse twenty nine.
- 26:43Speaker 4: He giveth power to the faith, so there is hope
- 26:48for everyone who fails.
- 26:50Speaker 1: He giveth power to the faith and to them that
- 26:54have no might. He increases strength. Is someone learning tonight?
- 27:01Speaker 4: Then he introduces something that is a weakness to all men.
- 27:08Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who you are.
- 27:10Speaker 4: Once you find yourself in flesh and blood, this weakness
- 27:14will eventually catch up with you if you do not
- 27:18know how to circumvent your way above it.
- 27:21Speaker 1: The weakness is in verse thirty. Even the youth shall faith,
- 27:28not may faint, shall faith. It's not a cause.
- 27:32Speaker 4: He's revealing something that was programmed with the falling nature,
- 27:37that it is part and person of the human nature.
- 27:42The youth shall faint and be weary, the young men
- 27:46shall utterly fall.
- 27:48Speaker 1: He talks of fainting.
- 27:50Speaker 4: He talks of weariness, very starting, please back up to
- 27:54the start again, fainting, weariness, and even falling.
- 28:00Speaker 1: But then he tells us there is a way out,
- 28:03but they not.
- 28:05Speaker 4: But all but day not everyone will be interested in
- 28:09engaging this mystery. But they that weight or turn the Lord,
- 28:16the Bible says, a few things will begin to happen
- 28:18to those.
- 28:19Speaker 1: Days, that they will renew their strengths.
- 28:23Speaker 4: That even though they are human and based on the
- 28:26Lord that limits human nature, they should fall, they should faint,
- 28:32but that they have found a system in the spirit that.
- 28:35Speaker 1: Causes them to mount up with wings as the eagles.
- 28:39That they shall run.
- 28:41Speaker 4: And when you are expecting them to be exhausted as
- 28:44all humans should be, by a mystery that God is
- 28:48revealing here, you will never find them exhausted. That they
- 28:51will run and not be weary, they will walk and
- 28:56not faint. If that looks like you, shout aloud, amen.
- 29:02It means that in as much as we are humans,
- 29:06in as much as we are limited by this frame
- 29:09called the body, the Bible says, you can outsource intelligence
- 29:13and engage a mystery that even after thirty years you
- 29:17will still be standing in ministry, standing in business when
- 29:21others are falling like a pack of card.
- 29:23Speaker 1: Even though you are human.
- 29:25Speaker 4: Godlike results will be manifested through your life.
- 29:28Speaker 1: And that where men ask you, don't you get tired,
- 29:31don't you get.
- 29:32Speaker 4: Exhausted, you will tell them I'm in every way human,
- 29:35but I have found out that day that wait or
- 29:40turn the Lord, something happens to them. Remember the Bible says,
- 29:45if you fall of faint or turn aside in the
- 29:50day of battle, the diagnosis is.
- 29:52Speaker 1: A strength problem.
- 29:54Speaker 4: That every time you are afraid of moving forward, if
- 29:58anything affects your continue it is a strength problem. And
- 30:02the Bible says it is human to gas out, It
- 30:05is human to lose strength for various reasons. The enmity
- 30:10and the wickedness of men is enough to exhaust you
- 30:14in this life.
- 30:15Speaker 1: That the fact that you are making progress, men can be.
- 30:18Speaker 4: Used by the devil and they can become blockades to
- 30:22your moving forward. Why are you the only one rising
- 30:25in this office? Why are you the only one rising?
- 30:28Speaker 1: Daniel?
- 30:29Speaker 4: You are not the only one in Babylon. Let's prove
- 30:32the reason why Daniel does not seem to be exhausted,
- 30:38and the whole parliament sat down to discuss a matter,
- 30:42so it affects one man, so the man cannot continue.
- 30:51There are many reasons why we are weak. There are
- 30:54many reasons why we faith. One of it is because
- 30:57of the reality of the world that we live in.
- 31:01The Bible says our world is surrounded with evil, that
- 31:05the whole world lie yet in wickedness. You don't have
- 31:08to look for anyone's trouble. Once you are born, and
- 31:11once God begins to show you messy, it is enough
- 31:14to attract antagonism from everywhere. Is it only your children
- 31:20who will rise and be shining? Is it only you
- 31:23who will be rising men for you? What was the
- 31:26crime of Jesus that he was hated by the scribes
- 31:29and the Pharisees. You would think that if they really
- 31:32loved men, they should be happy about someone who would
- 31:36be executing their agenda.
- 31:37Speaker 1: But they were angry.
- 31:39Speaker 4: You know. The source of their anger that the whole
- 31:42city's attention had been turned to Jesus, and they said,
- 31:45let's do something about this man. It first started as
- 31:49subtle antagonism, until they got to a point where they
- 31:53wanted him to die so hard they were willing to
- 31:56bring out the terrorists and release the terrorists.
- 31:59Speaker 1: Back into out provided it to help Jesus die. Let
- 32:05me tell you the truth. There's something about the world
- 32:09of men.
- 32:11Speaker 4: When you succeed consistently, it can attract envy, It can
- 32:16attract jealousy, it can attract antagonism. And because you are human,
- 32:22there is only so much you can fight in the flesh.
- 32:25One day you become exhausted. Is the reason why people
- 32:28commit suicide, is the reason why people get angry. It's
- 32:31the reason why many fold their boots in ministry and say,
- 32:35you know what, I'm tired of all this trouble. As
- 32:37a man of God, you know what it means to
- 32:40begin a work, and then you labor. You labor, you
- 32:43push all kinds of betrayals, all kinds of disappointment. Here,
- 32:47after ten, fifteen, twenty years, you feel like wrapping it
- 32:51up in ministry. Even the youth shall fad. The signature
- 32:59of a young man is his strength, he says, I
- 33:02write to you, young men, because you were strong. And
- 33:06yet in spite of that human strength, people can be exhausted.
- 33:12There are people today who are due for promotion, but
- 33:15simply because of some kinds of sentiments, their promotions can
- 33:19be pecked for a very long time.
- 33:22Speaker 1: And let me tell you, as humans, who can become exhausted.
- 33:26Speaker 4: One of the most comforting scripture in the Bible is
- 33:30John eleven thirty five.
- 33:32Speaker 1: Jesus wept.
- 33:36Speaker 4: Life wept, strength wept, vision wept, faith wept.
- 33:46Speaker 1: God wept. He never cried as God, but when he
- 33:52became a man he wept.
- 33:56Speaker 4: There are two reasons, according to scripture, why Jesus went.
- 34:00The first was love and compassion. In fact, all were
- 34:03love and compassion, but the scenario was different John eleven.
- 34:07He was standing in front of Lazarus's tomb, and he wept,
- 34:11and the Bible says, they said, oh, how he loved him.
- 34:15The second time Jesus wept, he looked over Jerusalem and
- 34:19some people moving like sheep without shepherd, and the Bible says,
- 34:22he wept and lifted up his voice and said, Jerusalem, Jerusalem.
- 34:26Speaker 1: If only you had known in this day the things.
- 34:29Speaker 4: That pertain onto your peace, it says, but they are
- 34:32hidden from you. Jesus wept because of compassion. He also
- 34:37wept because of the ignorance of men. Let me show
- 34:40you people in the Bible who were weary. There was
- 34:42a man called Abraham, the one who would become the patriarch.
- 34:48Speaker 1: Are we together now?
- 34:49Speaker 4: Abraham became weary because he waited for years, waited for
- 34:54a child.
- 34:55Speaker 1: Sarah became weary, and at a point Abraham.
- 35:00Speaker 4: I'm sure that Abraham had just given up and said, God,
- 35:02you know what, you somebody in my house to raise
- 35:05me a child. And God said, no, you will have
- 35:07your own child from you. Let me show you another
- 35:11man who was exhausted in scripture, a man who laid
- 35:14down for thirty eight years at a pool called Bethesta,
- 35:19one of the few men who the Bible records the
- 35:22longevity of your paid I'm sure by the first year
- 35:25when the man got there, he took for granted that
- 35:28by maybe one or two years I would.
- 35:31Speaker 1: Be out of this place.
- 35:32Speaker 4: Two years in pain became five years, became a decade,
- 35:36became fifteen years, became twenty years. I'm sure someone encouraged him.
- 35:40I said, don't worry this year, for sure, you'll be out.
- 35:43Twenty five became toirty, thirty became thirty five, thirty six,
- 35:48thirty seven, thirty eight. When Jesus came to him and said,
- 35:54why are you in this condition? And said, don't waste
- 35:56my time. Listen, I've been in this condition for a
- 36:00long time. How about the woman with the issue of blood.
- 36:05One of the synoptic accounts tell us that Jesus was
- 36:09on his way to go and heal the centurion's daughter.
- 36:13Speaker 1: Remember she was twelve years of age and she was
- 36:16about to die.
- 36:18Speaker 4: And while he was on his way going, there was
- 36:20a woman who was also twelve years That means the
- 36:23day that young girl who died was born, that was
- 36:26the day this woman's problem to certain they were all
- 36:31twelve years. One was about to lose his daughter, the
- 36:35other was saying, listen, it is an issue of my health.
- 36:42There are times that people go through pain. There are
- 36:45times that people go through tragic situations. There are times
- 36:49that people go through on favorable situations. But let's look
- 36:53at a few things and then we'll pray. If God
- 36:56is helping you and speaking to you shouting loud amen.
- 37:00So the first information we get from Isaiah forty and
- 37:04please pay attention now the strategy that helps you to
- 37:08obtain help giving you longevity in life, that even though
- 37:13you are human, you are able to conquer the limitations
- 37:16of weariness, the limitations of fatigue, the limitations of exhaustion,
- 37:22and you continue until you finish your race.
- 37:26Speaker 1: You will finish strong.
- 37:28Speaker 4: I prophessy to someone, you will finish strong in the
- 37:31name of Jesus Christ. So Number one, the first information
- 37:36we learn from that scripture Isiah forty is that God
- 37:40does not faint and God is not weary. Not as
- 37:43God when he became a man in Christ, he was tired.
- 37:49Jesus slept because he was tired. Jesus was hungry, he
- 37:53was exhausted. All of these human limitations were very evident
- 37:57in the life of Jesus when he became a man.
- 38:00Speaker 1: But as God, the Bible says, God does not faith.
- 38:04Speaker 4: It is hopeful for us to know that scripture puts
- 38:07it in a very beautiful way that the Keeper of
- 38:10Israel that he does not sleep, He does not slumber.
- 38:14Speaker 1: Isn't that amazing? There is no exhaustion with God.
- 38:18Speaker 4: Number two, The Bible gives us an information that whoever
- 38:23faints needs power.
- 38:26Speaker 1: When you find yourself.
- 38:27Speaker 4: Fainting, emotionally fainting, spiritually fainting in every area of your life,
- 38:35what you are in need of is power, and that
- 38:38whoever has no might, what God does to such a one.
- 38:42Speaker 1: Is to increase strength.
- 38:45Speaker 4: Then he tells us that all men, even the youth
- 38:50and the young men, will faith and be wary, and
- 38:55even or tally fall fall in ministry, falling life, fall
- 38:59in death, stay, falling career.
- 39:02Speaker 1: But then he says, thirty one, they that weight upon
- 39:08the Lord.
- 39:09Speaker 4: Someone shout, I will wait one more time, say I
- 39:12will wait day that wait upon the Lord, the Bible says,
- 39:18they shall renew their strength. Now, what does it mean
- 39:23to wait upon the Lord? Seeing then that strength, renewal,
- 39:27revitalization is connected to this mystery that means the mystery
- 39:33of sustainable impact, void of weariness, void of exhaustion, that
- 39:40as the years come, so your energies sustained and multiplied,
- 39:44The Bible says, the mystery that controls that kind of
- 39:47outcoming a believer is called waiting upon the Lord. What
- 39:53does it mean to wait upon the Lord? Waiting upon
- 39:57the Lord is beyond prayer and fasting. Most times when
- 40:02we say I am waiting upon the Lord, we say
- 40:05that to me, and I'm on a first.
- 40:06Speaker 1: And while there is an expression of.
- 40:08Speaker 4: That there, waiting upon the Lord is way beyond just
- 40:13prayer and fasting. Hallelujah, I'll give you three definitions, and
- 40:19then we'll pray.
- 40:20Speaker 1: Number one, to wait upon the Lord means to look
- 40:26onto Jesus.
- 40:28Speaker 4: It is a description of total dependence, a state of
- 40:34total dependence.
- 40:36Speaker 1: Waiting upon the Lord.
- 40:37Speaker 4: Number one suggests having this consciousness that if God does
- 40:44not help me, if God does not open a door
- 40:48for me, if God does not become an ankle and
- 40:51strength and help for me by the strength of the flesh,
- 40:55I will not be able to do much.
- 40:57Speaker 1: Waiting upon the Lord is being just praying and fasting.
- 41:01Speaker 4: It starts with an orientation if someone learning now you
- 41:05are waiting upon the Lord when you Number one sustain
- 41:08this orientation that it is of the Lord's messy that
- 41:12we are not consumed, and that by the strength of
- 41:15the flesh, no matter how dex terrorists are, no matter
- 41:19how competent you are, eventually you will gas out. Eventually
- 41:24you will be wary. Someone says, I will wait. I
- 41:28will wait means that I declare in advance that I
- 41:31am helpless outside of the.
- 41:33Speaker 1: Help of God.
- 41:34Speaker 4: I declare in advance that my education, as important as
- 41:38it is, has limitations in the world of men, that
- 41:41my skill, my expertise, my knowledge, are we together Now,
- 41:45Everything that constitutes an advantage in my life will eventually
- 41:49be frail.
- 41:55Speaker 1: They that wait upon the Lord. We look to your way,
- 42:07ah way, Our hope is here way. Don't sing, just
- 42:14listen to what I'm singing. This is what it means
- 42:18to wait. I look to your way, yeahway.
- 42:25Speaker 10: My hope is yahweh yeahway. I look to yaway yeahway.
- 42:39It's forever yahweah yeahway.
- 42:45Speaker 1: Listen.
- 42:46Speaker 4: If you can't turn this song to a mentality, then
- 42:50you have learned how to wait. It is beyond a
- 42:54special number. It is an orientation you must carry for
- 42:58the rest of your life. I onto you like a
- 43:01maid looks onto her mistress for help.
- 43:04Speaker 1: Lord. If you do not help me, I cannot go
- 43:06beyond this place.
- 43:07Speaker 4: Some trusting horses and others trusting childods exaid, But we.
- 43:12Speaker 1: Will trust in the name of our God.
- 43:16Speaker 4: It is one of the things that I learned very
- 43:19early in ministry, that the strength of men eventually fails them.
- 43:25Even warriors run under a certain condition, they run away
- 43:30from battle. The nation of Israel having warriors, they got
- 43:34to a point where go liards of God stood before them,
- 43:37and he said, King Saul, bring me a man to
- 43:40fight me. Every day he kept coming, and the Bible
- 43:44says their strength failed them.
- 43:46Speaker 1: The warriors were afraid.
- 43:48Speaker 4: There are things that confront you in this life that
- 43:52even if you are Elijah, you will run away to hide.
- 43:58Speaker 3: So I look to.
- 44:00Speaker 4: Here way yeahwey.
- 44:03Speaker 1: That's what it means to wait. Number one.
- 44:05Speaker 10: My whole is yahway yeahweh. I look to hereahweh yahweh
- 44:19forever yeahweh yahweah.
- 44:26Speaker 1: Apostle.
- 44:27Speaker 4: My own challenge is that I need thirteen thousand dollars
- 44:30fifty thousand dollars to go and continue my postgraduates abroad.
- 44:35Speaker 1: I don't have a father, I don't have a mother.
- 44:37Speaker 4: Yet every time I go to bed, I see myself
- 44:40as a PhD holder, I see myself as a professor
- 44:44from one of the Ivy.
- 44:45Speaker 1: League universities colleges abroad. How is this going to happen?
- 44:49Let me tell you.
- 44:50Speaker 4: They look onto him, my Bible says, and their faces
- 44:53were lightened. Provided you can look beyond your pay Peter,
- 44:58if you keep looking at this see you will sing.
- 45:01But if you look onto Jesus, one step after the other,
- 45:05you will find out that you are able to work
- 45:07on water.
- 45:09Speaker 1: We will look to here away.
- 45:13Speaker 10: Yeahweh our home is seahway, yeahwah.
- 45:23Speaker 1: Es will to her.
- 45:34Speaker 5: Anywhere.
- 45:36Speaker 1: Listen. I'm sure that.
- 45:39Speaker 4: If we call our mother out and tell us, please
- 45:43tell us the story the journey of this ministry, she
- 45:48will tell you that there were times that she stood
- 45:50and said, God, you are my only help. If you
- 45:53do not lead me, I have nowhere to go. There
- 45:56is something I know about God. He likes the sound
- 46:00of surrender and dependence. He likes the sound of surrender
- 46:05and dependence. Allelujah. My dear friend and brother is Yaha Sociola.
- 46:14We were talking about it this morning. He woke up
- 46:18like every other preacher, happend to start a conference and
- 46:22had even done videos inviting people, and about a few
- 46:26hours to the conference, the entire church was gutted by fire.
- 46:31Not a single cheer was taken out of it. I'm sure,
- 46:35I'm sure you all saw it. There is something about
- 46:43God when you know by even when you cry, you
- 46:47will still say I know that there is an end
- 46:49to this, that your tears will no longer be tears
- 46:55of hopelessness. You will cry because you are human, but
- 46:58you will still be singing arms him. Some spiritual songs
- 47:02as the tears come.
- 47:03Speaker 1: Ah, you know that dog, he's slay me.
- 47:07Speaker 4: Yet, will I trust him that all the days of
- 47:10my point of time, I will wait while the promise
- 47:14is still coming.
- 47:14Speaker 1: I will wait. I will wait as I believe him.
- 47:17I've not seen my dreams and visions come to pass.
- 47:20Speaker 4: Lord.
- 47:21Speaker 1: I know what you told me last year. I know
- 47:23what you told me. I'm shaddery.
- 47:25Speaker 5: I know.
- 47:26Speaker 4: I thought by now the sudden things would have happened
- 47:30in your life, in my life.
- 47:32Speaker 1: But even now I still wait upon you.
- 47:35Speaker 4: I look up to you, because now and the fountain
- 47:39of life, and is in your life that we see life.
- 47:43Someone lay your hands on your head in one minute,
- 47:46and say, Father, the grace to look on to you,
- 47:49the grace to depend on you. Someone is praying a
- 47:53serious belief.
- 47:54Speaker 1: I spray, I look on to you. I may cry,
- 47:59but I will wait to you. Why they wait? What
- 48:02will wait for him? My human lady? So but I
- 48:06will wait. It taes to wait, it does to look
- 48:10or to Jesus. In Jesus' name, please be seated. But
- 48:22Paul began to teach us in Hebrews chapter twelve, from
- 48:25verse one.
- 48:26Speaker 4: Here's what he says, Seeing then that we are surrounded
- 48:31by so great a cloud of witnesses, he says, let
- 48:35us lay aside every week and the scene that don't
- 48:39easily besets us. Then he says, to run with patience,
- 48:43so with passiverence the race that is set before us.
- 48:46Speaker 1: I like verse two, looking on to Jesus, This is
- 48:51how to run, sous that you win.
- 48:53Speaker 4: Looking onto Jesus, he calls him the author and the
- 48:57finish up of our faith, who for the joy that
- 49:00was set before him, that he endured the cross, He
- 49:05despises the shame and is today set out the right
- 49:09hand of God. Can I tell you something, no matter
- 49:12what you are going through today, hear it from me?
- 49:15Speaker 1: It has an end.
- 49:17Speaker 4: The Bible says, surely, there is an end. There is
- 49:22absolutely nothing that is new under the song. Let me
- 49:26speak a word of hope for someone. The thing that
- 49:29was is the thing that is, and it is the
- 49:31thing that is to come. There is nothing new under
- 49:33the song. Rent issue. It is not new looking for
- 49:37the fruit of the woman. It is not new looking
- 49:39for a spouse. It is not new weeping over someone
- 49:42whose transited. It is not new Trusting God to pay
- 49:46your rent.
- 49:46Speaker 1: It is not new.
- 49:47Speaker 4: Trusting God on your home it is not new. Trusting
- 49:51God to be a graduate is not new. Every thing
- 49:54that you say that you desire has happened to someone before,
- 49:58and the Bible said, follow them who true facts and
- 50:03pair shens have obtained the promise. You are not the
- 50:08first to serve ministry. You are not the first to
- 50:11desire longevity ministry. You are not the first to desire
- 50:15the fruit of the womb. You are not the first
- 50:17to desire a spouse. You are not the first to
- 50:20desire a job. It has happened before, and there were
- 50:23people who try arms over it. It says, hear my cry,
- 50:27your Lord, I tend onto my prayer from the ends
- 50:30of the earth. Will I call onto you that when
- 50:33my heart is overwhelmed, it says, lead.
- 50:36Speaker 1: Me to the rock. There is a rock that is
- 50:38higher than I. That rock is Jesus.
- 50:41Speaker 4: That rock is Jesus, that when men look onto him
- 50:45their faces become lighted.
- 50:52Speaker 1: Please be seated, so waiting upon the Lord. Number one.
- 50:57Speaker 4: Refers to an orientation, a mentality of total dependence. You
- 51:05can first and pray, but not with a mentality that
- 51:09knows that if God does not help me I cannot
- 51:12go further. You did not wait upon the Lord. Waiting
- 51:16upon the Lord does not start with an activity. It
- 51:18starts with an orientation, an orientation, an orientation. God, If
- 51:26you do not help me, there is no way out
- 51:29total dependence. I like how Proverbs chapter three puts it.
- 51:34From verse five to seven. Here's what it says, trust
- 51:37in the Lord, abundant life. Hear me, trust in the Lord,
- 51:41the Bible says, with all your heart, it says, and
- 51:44lean not onto your own understanding.
- 51:47Speaker 1: Verse success in all your ways? How many in all
- 51:50your ways?
- 51:51Speaker 4: A acknowledge Here the word acknowledge is a very important word.
- 51:56Speaker 1: Acknowledge does not mean.
- 51:57Speaker 4: To recognize him, to place much priority on him. That
- 52:01he knows that without him you cannot move further. Acknowledge him,
- 52:06and he shall direct your path. Verse seven says, be
- 52:10not wise in your own understanding, shear the Lord, and turn.
- 52:14Speaker 1: Away from evil.
- 52:18Speaker 4: But they that weight upon the Lord is a mysterious
- 52:24strategy that has bailed many weak people out of life's vicissitudes. Allelujah.
- 52:32Still speaking about Personialah, you need to go back and
- 52:37take a visit in that church, and you will know
- 52:40that God reigns over the affairs of men. I believe
- 52:46that God used that event to speak a message to
- 52:49the body of Christ that it doesn't matter where you
- 52:52find yourself.
- 52:54Speaker 1: Regretting over where you are will not solve the problem.
- 52:57Speaker 4: But he told Abraham, he said, liftop you your eyes,
- 53:01even you, if your feet cannot get there, your eyes
- 53:04can go there. Liftop your eyes from where you are,
- 53:07not where you want to be, From where thou art,
- 53:10Take your eyes not what's what's eat? Word westward It say,
- 53:15as fast your eyes can see. I have given on
- 53:17to you as an inheritance, Allelujah. To look onto Jesus,
- 53:29to have an orientation that my entire life's journey depends
- 53:34on the supply of grace and help that comes from
- 53:38Him is the first thing the Bible refers to as
- 53:41waiting upon the Lord?
- 53:43Speaker 1: Number two. What does it mean to wait upon the Lord?
- 53:47Are you ready? To wait upon the Lord?
- 53:50Speaker 4: Means that you wait for instructions that give you victory
- 53:55past season. To wait upon the Lord is beyond just
- 54:00a mentality of dependence. It means to wait for instructions
- 54:06every time you are talk and you are around a
- 54:09season that does not seem to open up for you.
- 54:12Speaker 1: When you stay, you don't just stay as a mentality alone.
- 54:16You stay to receive instructions because.
- 54:20Speaker 4: When the word of the Lord comes, it comes as
- 54:23a key that can open you up to the next season.
- 54:27Shall I pursue, it says, pursue, overtake, and without fail
- 54:32recover All many people wait upon the Lord, but they
- 54:38do not stay until he speaks. When you wait upon
- 54:42the Lord, your trigger to living that place is when
- 54:45his voice comes. Can I tell you God speaks, but
- 54:49he's not always speaking. You were created in his image.
- 54:53You speak, but you are not always making. God speaks,
- 54:57but he's not always speaking. The Bible will say, on
- 54:59the fifty year, on the fifth day of the tent months,
- 55:03the world of the Lord came. Your assignment is to
- 55:07stay until the world comes Father. Should I stay in
- 55:12Nigeria or should I go to UK or should I.
- 55:15Speaker 1: Go to Canada? What is the next what is the
- 55:17next ten years of my life?
- 55:19Speaker 4: Like?
- 55:19Speaker 1: Can I tell you this?
- 55:21Speaker 4: When God is silent, don't be in a hurry to
- 55:24suggest what he's saying. Because the silence of God is
- 55:27also a language. You must know how to interpret the
- 55:30silence of God. This is where Satan will slip into
- 55:34your desperation and tell you things that sound like God.
- 55:38He can appear as an angel of light, someone learning
- 55:47an angel of light. And there are times you can
- 55:50hear things and think it is God, whereas it is
- 55:53not God.
- 55:56Speaker 1: Wait, Father, what is the next level? The next season
- 56:01in ministry? And you literally shut down. Let me tell
- 56:05you this.
- 56:06Speaker 4: The process of waiting makes you look like a fool
- 56:09for a long time until his work comes.
- 56:12Speaker 1: But with the word of the Lord comes acceleration.
- 56:16Speaker 4: Acceleration. God can tell you wait, you're a man of God. Lord,
- 56:22when do I start ministry? I'm ready?
- 56:24Speaker 1: And he says, wait. And for a long time you
- 56:27will look like a fool? What are we doing? O? God?
- 56:30Speaker 4: And then one day his word comes, and with that
- 56:34word comes the empowerment for the season. Someone just gives
- 56:38you a call and says, the Lord instructed me to
- 56:40hold your hands financially. You see when you don't hear
- 56:45God say ghost, I said, Peter said, if it be thou,
- 56:49pit me, come And he said, come, Peter, I want
- 56:53to teach you that boat. It's not the only way
- 56:55to go to the other side.
- 56:57Speaker 1: You can't wait.
- 56:58Speaker 4: There are many ways to transport yourself. The usual is
- 57:02to use a boat, but when the boat fails, there
- 57:05is something you can get in the place of waiting.
- 57:07The Word of God is also a vehicle. It can
- 57:11transport you that the same thing a boat can do,
- 57:14the Word of God can do the same. In a
- 57:17job can do, the Word of God can do. The
- 57:20seving men can do, the Word of God can do.
- 57:23That was the essence of that miracle. It was not
- 57:25just about working on water. It was to show you
- 57:28the various ways you can arrive to the other side.
- 57:31That sometimes it is a boat, but there are times
- 57:34that you are already delayed. The boat has gone ahead
- 57:37of you. Find Oh, you can still work on water.
- 57:47Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
- 57:50Speaker 4: Apostle, my boat, let's see, is twenty twenty and it
- 57:56may never return. Your boat can be time, and time
- 58:01has gone ahead of you. And as it is right now,
- 58:05that boat does not look like it to return back.
- 58:07There is another agency to help you. I will restore
- 58:11the years. God can he bring his word. The Word
- 58:17of God can become anything that you lost and give
- 58:21you an urgent life. Who is learning tonight? Yes, sir,
- 58:31the boat can go, But when the boat leaves, make
- 58:37sure the world is with you and that world. You
- 58:41wait until it comes. But when it comes, when it comes,
- 58:45when it comes, you will get up and begin to walk,
- 58:49and some of you, in one year you will catch
- 58:52up as though you started.
- 58:53Speaker 1: I know that for ten years after graduation you did
- 58:56not get a job.
- 58:57Speaker 4: I understand if you were working now, you would have
- 59:00attain a certain I'm not teaching you to be lazy.
- 59:03Speaker 1: I'm not teaching there are way his life was desired
- 59:06to work.
- 59:06Speaker 4: But I'm saying, based on the reality in our world,
- 59:10there are times that the boat goes ahead of you.
- 59:13But make sure when the boat goes ahead of you,
- 59:15turn and wait. Don't just lament and sit there. If
- 59:18you lament and sit there, no word will come to you.
- 59:21But when you wait, his word comes.
- 59:25Speaker 1: This word comes, this word comes, this word comes.
- 59:33Speaker 4: I started administry in the area the northern part of
- 59:37this nation, and one time, when my season there was over,
- 59:42I began to sense in my heart that the season
- 59:46was over.
- 59:47Speaker 1: But where I was going to move to I did
- 59:50not know. I just knew that it was over.
- 59:52Speaker 4: Do you know when you get to these prophetic junction
- 59:56to be careful, you can lose efficiency of ten.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: Years by one carelessness.
- 1:00:04Speaker 4: Prophetic junctions are delicate moments in the life of everyone.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: You can do well for ten years.
- 1:00:11Speaker 4: And one wrong decision will robbish your testimony because you
- 1:00:15did not see well away together.
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: Now, I knew that my time in Zaria was exhausted.
- 1:00:21But whether I was going to go?
- 1:00:23Speaker 4: Was it America, was it uk Us, was it Abuja,
- 1:00:28was it Legos?
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: Where? And I knew that it was to wait, to
- 1:00:33wait upon the Lord.
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: I remember then I came into Legos from South Africa,
- 1:00:40had a meeting, and then I went to London briefly
- 1:00:42for a meeting. As I returned back, I went to
- 1:00:46Abuja and I was to rush to Zaria for a
- 1:00:48program when they declared COVID, you know the lockdown, the
- 1:00:52three months lockdown. I was trapped there in Abuja, and
- 1:00:58all I did I said, well, since I don't have
- 1:01:00anybody to preach you now, let me not waste my time.
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: Let me wait.
- 1:01:04Speaker 4: Stayed in prayer, and the Lord gave me an instruction.
- 1:01:08He said to buy the map.
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: No, no, no, no. It was even when I had
- 1:01:13found out I was praying.
- 1:01:15Speaker 4: I knew that the.
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: Season in Xaria was over. But where would be the
- 1:01:19next place. I did not know. I kept praying and praying,
- 1:01:22and it looked like God.
- 1:01:24Speaker 4: You can imagine for someone who prophesies for people, it
- 1:01:27is difficult to stay till you hear God because there
- 1:01:30is impatience when you are used to hearing God for others.
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: It's a difficult thing to wait.
- 1:01:37Speaker 4: And I stood there and one time I just saw
- 1:01:40a vision the map of Abuja, and I said, this
- 1:01:43is it.
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: And I began to pray. And look what God has
- 1:01:47done today.
- 1:01:48Speaker 4: You say you can clap for a man, but it
- 1:01:50was the fruit of waiting for someone all through the period.
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: Of this conference. Make it a retreat. Make it a retreat.
- 1:01:59Speaker 4: Shut down on a few things, and say, Lord, you
- 1:02:02must speak to me in this season. I'm tired of
- 1:02:05recycling seasons of pain, for there is a way that
- 1:02:08semen right onto a man, and the Bible says the
- 1:02:11end thereof are the ways of destruction. Many of you
- 1:02:15have tried all kinds of things, believing it was God
- 1:02:18that spoke to you. Now the result is showing it
- 1:02:21was not God. Use this conference to fine tune your hearing.
- 1:02:26Fine tune your hearing, find tune your hearing. To wait
- 1:02:32upon the Lord means to wait until his world comes
- 1:02:37the prophetic word that becomes a compass, helping you to
- 1:02:41navigate through the season you're about to enter. Number three,
- 1:02:45what does it mean to wait upon the Lord? Who
- 1:02:48is learning tonight? To wait upon the Lord means to
- 1:02:52stay until you evolve to a more superior version of
- 1:02:58you that manifest the prophetic world on your life. Now, listen,
- 1:03:03we were discussing again with Pasaola will We're coming, and
- 1:03:06I was telling him that there are many ways God
- 1:03:09answers prayers. Let me tell you three ways. God answers prayers.
- 1:03:12Number one by supernatural manifestations like healings, deliverances. He can
- 1:03:18answer you instantly supernaturally. Number two, God answers prayer by
- 1:03:23introducing the Ministry of Men to your life, the Ministry
- 1:03:27of Men. Number three, God answers prayers by causing you
- 1:03:32to grow into the version that He can bless. Because
- 1:03:37there are many things that we call prayer requests today
- 1:03:41that are only there because you have not grown.
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: It was never supposed to be a prayer request.
- 1:03:47Speaker 4: The fact that you have it as a prayer request
- 1:03:51is proved to you that you have not grown to
- 1:03:53the version that.
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: Can be trusted with that answer. Are we learning now?
- 1:03:59Speaker 4: So when you wait upon the Lord, you stay there.
- 1:04:03Please listen. This is a major component of waiting. To
- 1:04:08wait until you mold like a reptile, like a snake,
- 1:04:12coming out of your former self into a more spiritual version,
- 1:04:17a more consecrated version, a more enlightened version. To wait
- 1:04:23upon the Lord means to stay in his presence until
- 1:04:26that which becomes a limitation to your next level is broken.
- 1:04:31The flesh, the encomperhences that tie you down, the weights.
- 1:04:37You stay in his presence until that circumcision happens. Don't
- 1:04:44forget what we're this causing that. To wait upon the
- 1:04:47Lord Number one is a spiritual orientation of total trust
- 1:04:53and dependence upon the Lord.
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: Number two.
- 1:04:56Speaker 4: To wait upon the Lord means to stay until he speaks,
- 1:05:00using his voice to give you direction for the next season.
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: Number three.
- 1:05:04Speaker 4: To wait upon the Lord means to stay in his
- 1:05:06presence until his presence does something to you and evolves
- 1:05:12you to a more spiritual version, a more powerful version,
- 1:05:16a version of you with greater capacity to now be
- 1:05:20able to handle the weightier things that he.
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: Want to bring you. Into the Bible says an air.
- 1:05:25Speaker 4: For as long as that air is a child, he defied,
- 1:05:29not from a slave.
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: If that air is a man of God.
- 1:05:33Speaker 4: No matter what kind of expectation you have, God will
- 1:05:37restrict growth. He will restrict results until growth is attained.
- 1:05:42God will restrict results until growth is attained. There are
- 1:05:47many restrictions that are not demonic. It is the messy
- 1:05:51of God. He is stopping you from wasting your seasons,
- 1:05:54so he keeps you until you grow.
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: Who is learning?
- 1:06:05Speaker 4: So when the Bible says they that wait upon the Lord,
- 1:06:09you understand what he's saying. Now, They that have this
- 1:06:12consciousness that my entire life revolves around the help and
- 1:06:17the messy of God. That outside of his help and messy,
- 1:06:20I am what I am, Paul says, by the grace
- 1:06:23of God. I am what I am, by the grace
- 1:06:26of God. It is not of him that will let known,
- 1:06:28of him that runeth, but the Lord that showeth messy.
- 1:06:31Are we together now haven't obtained help from the Lord?
- 1:06:34I continue this way? Number two. To wait upon the
- 1:06:40Lord means to wait for his word. He gives you
- 1:06:43the prompting, He gives.
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: You the match in order.
- 1:06:46Speaker 4: He gives you the direction. He gives you the instruction
- 1:06:50for the next season. Content within that instruction is the
- 1:06:54strategy for victory for the season you about entry. Let
- 1:06:58me tell you this, yesterday's formula may not give you
- 1:07:02today's victory. Just because you parted the red sea yesterday
- 1:07:07does not mean any time you see a sea the
- 1:07:09solution is to part it. There are times you will
- 1:07:11need to work on water. There are times God will
- 1:07:14give you a boat. Any time you stand before a sea.
- 1:07:17Don't assume that because you parted it yesterday it means
- 1:07:21every time you see a sea you will part it.
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: You may try to pat it and drown this time around.
- 1:07:27You have to wait for instructions per season.
- 1:07:34Speaker 4: And then number three, to wait upon the Lord means
- 1:07:38to wait until his presence does something within you breaks
- 1:07:43that out timban, breaks that flesh, destroys all of those
- 1:07:47limitations that will frustrate your result tomorrow. As a man
- 1:07:51of God, you are trusting God to take you global.
- 1:07:54You are trusting God to open up doors. And God
- 1:07:57is saying there are tendencies of pride, tencies of lost,
- 1:08:00tendencies of envy, tendencies of jealousy. So he says, wait
- 1:08:04upon me, when you wait there, he cuts all of
- 1:08:07those things until you truly become spiritual. Then he can
- 1:08:11open the doors of nations so that you do not
- 1:08:14become a casualty and corrupt your testimony and the name
- 1:08:18of the Lord. It is better forgot to deal with
- 1:08:21you before you rise. How many of you know that
- 1:08:23the higher you go, the more impactful your fall. When
- 1:08:27you are on the ground and you fall, you may
- 1:08:29not enjoy yourself. But when you are at the top
- 1:08:32of the building and you fall, you may not even
- 1:08:34leave to tell the story. Now, let me wrap up
- 1:08:38by telling you three things you do while you are waiting.
- 1:08:44There are three things you must do while you wait
- 1:08:47in his presence.
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: Number one.
- 1:08:50Speaker 4: The first thing you do while you wait in his
- 1:08:53presence is that you must wait. Starting scripture Dean scripture.
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: Listen. The light of God's word is what destroys.
- 1:09:07Speaker 4: Darkness in any area, the Bible says John one five.
- 1:09:11And the light shine it in the darkness. When you
- 1:09:14wait upon the Lord and you are not engaging the
- 1:09:17word of God, you are not listening to the word
- 1:09:20of God. You are not opening yourself to the word
- 1:09:22of God. You are wasting that experience. When you set
- 1:09:26aside a time to wait upon the Lord. Waiting upon
- 1:09:29the Lord means engaging scripture. For in many many cases,
- 1:09:33you will hear his voice through his word. You will
- 1:09:37hear his voice through his word. You will hear his
- 1:09:41voice through his world. The Lord can appear to you
- 1:09:44by his word. Are we together? What do I do
- 1:09:50while I'm waiting? I engage the word. I engage the
- 1:09:54world who has faced my kind of situation?
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: In the Bible, what did they do? What did they do?
- 1:10:02What did they do? I'm trusting God for the fruit
- 1:10:04of the womb.
- 1:10:05Speaker 4: And while I am waiting for my answer, the Bible says,
- 1:10:09look onto Abraham, your father, and to Sarah that body.
- 1:10:13For I called him alone, and I blessed him, and
- 1:10:16I increased him.
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: That means man. You see, I have thought this, and
- 1:10:20perhaps some of you have heard.
- 1:10:21Speaker 4: Me, that the various names you see in the Bible
- 1:10:24are not just names of individuals, but they are also
- 1:10:27spiritual pathways that produces a kind of believer. So when
- 1:10:33you hear the name Sarah, Sarah is not just the
- 1:10:36name of the wife of Abraham. Sarah is the name
- 1:10:39of a spiritual pathway that can lead to victory, are
- 1:10:43we together now that when you are buried, you can
- 1:10:45follow a spiritual pathway the way Sarah followed, and at
- 1:10:50the end of it Genesis twenty one and verse one
- 1:10:54becomes your own testimony. The Bible says, and the Lord
- 1:10:58visited Sarah, as he said, And the Lord did onto
- 1:11:02Sarah as he has spoken. When we wait, we wait
- 1:11:10with the world number two. What do you do while
- 1:11:14you wait?
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: You engage in hoity prayers.
- 1:11:19Speaker 4: You invest in strategic prayers, praying with all manner of prayers,
- 1:11:25praying in the spirit, prayers of thanksgiving, prayers of warfare,
- 1:11:31prayers of supplications. May I refer you to listen to
- 1:11:34my teaching as we wrap up effective prayer dynamics.
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: Effective prayer dynamics.
- 1:11:40Speaker 4: By showing that teaching the various kinds of prayers that
- 1:11:44the believer must engage all of them do not produce
- 1:11:47the same outcome. There is the prayer of thanksgiving, There
- 1:11:50is the prophetic declaration of scripture. There is praying in tongues,
- 1:11:55praying in the spirit. There is engaging in warfare. All
- 1:11:59of these have their outcomes. When you are waiting, you
- 1:12:03are permitted to engage every and all manner of prayer
- 1:12:09in the place of waiting. Warfare is allowed in the
- 1:12:12place of waiting, thanksgiving us proof of faith is allowed
- 1:12:16in the place of waiting. Creating your reality by declaring
- 1:12:20scripture is allowed.
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: In the place of waiting.
- 1:12:23Speaker 4: Praying in the spirit to edify yourself, so that you
- 1:12:26are built into that version that can host the promises
- 1:12:30of God in experience. When we wait, we engage the
- 1:12:38light of God's words. We contend for enlightenment through the
- 1:12:41world as we wait.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: When we wait, we engage in prayer. We engage in prayer.
- 1:12:48Speaker 4: And let me add prayer wait firsting. When you are
- 1:12:52really waiting upon the Lord, you wait, you pray, and
- 1:12:56you first. You pray, and you first, You pray, and
- 1:13:01you first, allelujah? What do we do while we wait?
- 1:13:07Are you ready? You engage the mystery of praise. You
- 1:13:12engage the mystery of praise. You engage the mystery of praise.
- 1:13:18I will call upon the Lord, the Bible says, who
- 1:13:21is worthy of praise? It says, so shall I be
- 1:13:24saved from my enemies? Let the people praise thee Oh God.
- 1:13:28Then shall the head.
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: Yield her increase.
- 1:13:32Speaker 4: There is something about praise, not just as a weapon
- 1:13:35of warfare, but that you can program tomorrow by prayer.
- 1:13:40While Paul and Silas were in the prison waiting for
- 1:13:43their deliverance, the Bible says, they prayed at midnight. They prayed,
- 1:13:48and they sang, and all the jailers hurt them. Let
- 1:13:52me tell you something about combining prayer and praise. It
- 1:13:56was not everybody in the prison who was praying, It
- 1:14:00was not everybody in.
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: The prison who was singing.
- 1:14:04Speaker 4: But when the answer came, everybody in the prison benefited
- 1:14:08for it. That means your family members may not join
- 1:14:11you while you are praying, they may not join you
- 1:14:13while you are praising. But that God delivers a testimony,
- 1:14:17your children's children will benefit from it. It says, at midnight,
- 1:14:24tall and silence, they prayed, and then they sang, and
- 1:14:28all the jailers hurt them. At least they did not
- 1:14:31stop them, so they were cooperating.
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: With them in some way.
- 1:14:35Speaker 4: The Bible says, suddenly there was a great earthquake and
- 1:14:39the foundations of the prison was shaken.
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: And immediately, I like this, all the doors were opened.
- 1:14:46How many doors?
- 1:14:48Speaker 4: How many doors, financial doors, marital doors, health doors, carry
- 1:14:53out doors.
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: The Mama says when God came, all doors opened, all
- 1:14:58doors those, all doors open.
- 1:15:05Speaker 4: But that's not where I'm going. Please show me that
- 1:15:07scripture again. All doors open. Read the remaining line, and
- 1:15:12everyone's bands were losing, everyone including those who were in
- 1:15:17the prison. They didn't pray, they didn't praise. But then
- 1:15:21when the atmosphere of those who were waiting. Can I
- 1:15:26tell you this, No one may have risen in your family,
- 1:15:30But now that you are the only one who knows
- 1:15:32God this much, engage wit upon the Lord. Carry this consciousness.
- 1:15:37Wait upon him as you engage the world. Wait upon
- 1:15:41him as you engage in prayer, Wait upon him as
- 1:15:44you engaging praise.
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: Oh you are good, Old Lord, You are good, Old Lord.
- 1:15:49You are good, Oh Lord.
- 1:15:51Speaker 4: But Lord, and a shields on me my glory he
- 1:15:58lived min my sense in my time point is here?
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: But how shell song me?
- 1:16:08Speaker 5: My dolly dots around?
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: But how does.
- 1:16:17Speaker 5: She'll sup me? My going?
- 1:16:21Speaker 4: Do its my?
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: But how does she something?
- 1:16:31Speaker 5: My goings around? My oh my going, let's around.
- 1:16:39Speaker 4: My.
- 1:16:43Speaker 5: Going, my going, dots around my mind, my going?
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: Oh my lory.
- 1:17:02Speaker 5: Lift up.
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: Now listen, I will give you the last key. My
- 1:17:08time is up.
- 1:17:09Speaker 4: But let me request that you will lend me five
- 1:17:11more minutes. It's important that I do what I want
- 1:17:14to do.
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: Now, I want to.
- 1:17:16Speaker 4: Show you four things I've given you three. Number one,
- 1:17:20when you wait upon the Lord in his presence, open
- 1:17:25up scripture and learn his ways. You will hear his
- 1:17:28voice when the scrolls are open. Number two, engage in
- 1:17:33strategic prayers.
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: Number three, engage in praise with understanding.
- 1:17:40Speaker 4: Now let me tell you the fourth thing you do
- 1:17:41while you are waiting, and I hope you have the
- 1:17:44faith to believe. Engage the mystery of sacrifice, The mystery
- 1:17:51of sacrifice Psalm fifty, verse five. Goddamn my saints onto me,
- 1:17:57he says, they that have made a count with me
- 1:18:01by sacrifice. When you are waiting during those seasons, you
- 1:18:07engage sacrifice of your time, sacrifice.
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: Of your resources.
- 1:18:15Speaker 4: I can tell you moments in my life whereas I
- 1:18:18waited for seasons to open, God gave me instructions, sometimes
- 1:18:23very painful instructions. I know that most believers are not
- 1:18:27mature enough to even take this dimension. But there is
- 1:18:30a dimension where it is death that works with glory.
- 1:18:34There is a dimension where death has to work in
- 1:18:37you so that life will work in others. God can
- 1:18:41give you an instruction, can tell you so a seed
- 1:18:44not as manipulation. With understanding, God does not need your money.
- 1:18:49What dies is not the seed. What dies is something
- 1:18:52in you, so that life will come out. Abraham, I
- 1:18:57desire you to be a father of nations. But take
- 1:18:59this song, that only song whom thou lovest, and offer
- 1:19:03him as a bond offering.
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: Let me tell you this, anyone who engages.
- 1:19:10Speaker 4: This consistently is the man who will enjoy a bondance
- 1:19:15of grace in your faith. Sojourn that when orthers Plot
- 1:19:19two or that's mad time, you should be a victim
- 1:19:23of it too.
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: But you know the day that wait upon the Lord.
- 1:19:27As you stay in his presence, you get some time.
- 1:19:30Speaker 4: Alone, off ministration, off the face of people, and you
- 1:19:34are in his presence, engaging scripture. You are in his presence, praying,
- 1:19:39You are in his presence fasting. You are in his
- 1:19:42presence praising, And then you engage with his seed. He
- 1:19:46says you have done well. He opens up a new vista,
- 1:19:49and like the eagles, you mount up with wings. And
- 1:19:53although you are human, the tanks of results that come
- 1:19:56from your life, from your ministry, from your business his
- 1:20:00socks that only God can produce.
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: Allelujah. So the way we obtain help from God is
- 1:20:13to stay in his presence, engaging light from scripture.
- 1:20:18Speaker 4: Stay in his presence in prayer, Stay in his presence
- 1:20:23giving him praise for who he is. Stay in his
- 1:20:26presence listening for his voice. Let me remind you again,
- 1:20:31and then we'll pray that to wait is first consciousness.
- 1:20:37It's a mentality of total dependence, void of looking up
- 1:20:42to self.
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: Number two, to wait means to stay until his.
- 1:20:48Speaker 4: Voice comes, to look onto Jesus until his voice comes.
- 1:20:55You still remember because when his voice comes, it opens
- 1:21:00a new season for you. Number three, to wait means
- 1:21:03to stay in his presence until you evolve. Don't forget
- 1:21:07this third one. This is the major assignment of waiting
- 1:21:11to stay till you evolve, because when you evolve, there
- 1:21:15are many things you are looking at now as a
- 1:21:18miracle that would be a natural reality in that realm.
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: We are going to pray. I want us to take
- 1:21:25a minute or so to pray. You are going to
- 1:21:27be crying on to God that.
- 1:21:29Speaker 4: Every destruction, that a destruction that has cheated you, that
- 1:21:34you have gassed out.
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: You are wary.
- 1:21:36Speaker 4: You've told everybody your problems except the one who can
- 1:21:40really help you.
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: You're going to obtain grace from God. Lord. I do
- 1:21:44not want to have a better yesterday.
- 1:21:46Speaker 4: I am like the eagle whose strength can be renewed.
- 1:21:50I cry for strength, the grace to wait.
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: Someone. Go ahead and pray.
- 1:21:54Speaker 4: Lift your voice, passionately and sincerely. The next one minute,
- 1:21:58you are praying onto the God of all grace.
- 1:22:03Speaker 5: M hmm.
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: Not mana sapad badadads.
- 1:22:10Speaker 11: They that wait upon the law, They that wait upon
- 1:22:17the Lord, the businessman that wait upon the Lord, the
- 1:22:23past us that wait upon the law, that carry out,
- 1:22:28persons that wait upon the Lord, the elders, the children,
- 1:22:33the young men that wait upon the law.
- 1:22:37Speaker 4: The students that wait upon the Lord. Go ahead and pray.
- 1:22:45I obtain grace to wait. I obtain grace to carry
- 1:22:50this consciousness that everything I have belongs to you, that
- 1:22:56there is no mean without you, intrude m h.
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: Grace.
- 1:23:16Speaker 4: To stay until he speaks, To stay until his work comes, chrace,
- 1:23:25to stay until you grow, to stay studying the world,
- 1:23:32to stay, pray to stay, praise it, to stay, giving
- 1:23:39until you grow in Jesus' mighty name, we pray. In
- 1:23:48Jesus' glorious name, we pray. So the next time you
- 1:23:53see individuals by the wings of the spirit, soaring in
- 1:23:58ministrying in business, soaring in every area of life. You
- 1:24:07know the secret now. It is not because we are
- 1:24:10sufficient in ourselves our sufficiencies of God.
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: But the key is to learn to wait. And if
- 1:24:19I wear you, don't wait until you are wary.
- 1:24:22Speaker 4: Wait as a lifestyle, because sometimes when you are wary,
- 1:24:27it becomes too late. Medical science teaches us that at
- 1:24:31the point you are thirsty, your body would have been
- 1:24:33desiring water for a long time already. So you don't
- 1:24:37wait until you are thirsty to drink water. You take
- 1:24:40it as a discipline for health and vitality. That's how
- 1:24:43it is in the spirit. You don't wait until trouble.
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: Sends you for a retreat. You wait as a lifestyle.
- 1:24:51Speaker 4: That every week, asigned from your daily times with God,
- 1:24:55you dedicate a time every month.
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: There is a time between you and His majesty.
- 1:25:00Speaker 4: And when people ask you why are you always in
- 1:25:02His presence, you will tell them that is why you
- 1:25:05desire me in the first place.
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: The day I leave His presence, then my relevance also dies.
- 1:25:12Let me pray for you.
- 1:25:14Speaker 4: I'm praying for two sets of people here tonight. Let
- 1:25:18me have your attention, please, I want to pray first
- 1:25:21for someone who is saying, Apostle.
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: Listening to you, it is very clear that I don't
- 1:25:28even believe in Jesus, not to talk of waiting. Something
- 1:25:33has happened to me.
- 1:25:35Speaker 4: I have been in church all my life, or I
- 1:25:38was invited to this conference, but as it stands right now,
- 1:25:42I sincerely cannot say I have a functional relationship with
- 1:25:46this Jesus, the one who is not weary, the one
- 1:25:49who gives power to those who are.
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: We can increase his strength to those who are without might.
- 1:25:55Speaker 4: I want to give someone an opportunity to make it
- 1:25:59right with Jesus now, and for someone perhaps to re
- 1:26:03dedicate your life. You are saying, I remember making this
- 1:26:06call before, but as it is right now, my life
- 1:26:08has gone.
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: Hey, why I cannot say that I have a functional.
- 1:26:12Speaker 4: Relationship with Jesus. These two groups of people, I'm going
- 1:26:16to count one to five. I just need one sincere
- 1:26:19person who is ready to stand in front here tonight,
- 1:26:22not ashamed, you are saying, Apostle, I cannot hear this
- 1:26:25word that has come from the Lord through you. I
- 1:26:28desire to know him so that I can wait upon
- 1:26:31a God who is not a stranger to me. I
- 1:26:33will count one to five. Leave your seat very quickly
- 1:26:36and come and stand here. I begin my counting.
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: Now, let's encourage them as a cup one. God bless you,
- 1:26:43God bless you, my brother. I see a few people coming.
- 1:26:47God bless you.
- 1:26:48Speaker 4: Please gouvelop as you're coming, abandoned life. Can we celebrate them.

- 1:26:55Speaker 12: God bless you, God bless you. God bless you. God
- 1:27:03bless you. Come, God bless you.
- 1:27:08Speaker 1: He's able to give you a new beginning.
- 1:27:11Speaker 4: It doesn't matter how things have been, you can start
- 1:27:14afresh with him. Today is the day of salvation free.
- 1:27:19Someone is finally winning this war over your destiny. The
- 1:27:23Bible says, as many who will come to him, you
- 1:27:25will in no way cast away. God bless you, my sister,
- 1:27:29God bless you, my brother, by family of faith. And
- 1:27:33while these ones are coming, let me encourage someone who
- 1:27:35is following online. Here is your chance to make Jesus
- 1:27:39lord of your life. It is never too late to
- 1:27:42make it right with Jesus. As I pray for these ones,
- 1:27:45I want to encourage you to participate in the prayer.
- 1:27:48Young and old, come four, the final count, and I
- 1:27:52begin to lead them to pray. Allelujah. Amen, brothers and sisters,
- 1:28:01Thank you very very much. I want to appreciate you
- 1:28:03for making this noble decision. Let me ask that you
- 1:28:07lift your right hand if you can, high above your head,

- 1:28:13reciting a poem. Please, if you're joining them, join them
- 1:28:16very quickly.

- 1:28:36again for my justification. Right now I receive Jesus into
