• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Of making.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: My contribution to this conference and then to this most
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: important theme.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: When I saw the theme of.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: The conference, it struck my heart because it's a description
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: of my life. For me, it's not a preacher's note.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: It's a testimony. I know what it means to be
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: helped by God.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Sharing are not necessarily just a preacher's note honestly it
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: is it is me hoping to share my heart and
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: i'm hoping in the name of jesus that god will
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: bless us amen and amen and amen your confidence and
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: your exploits in this kingdom is connected to your knowledge
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: of god the degree to which you reign the degree
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: to which you do exploits in this kingdom is connected
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: to your knowledge of God. Daniel chapter 11 and verse 32,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the B part says, but.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: The people that do know their.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: God, it says they shall be strong and they shall
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: do exploits. So doing exploits in all its ramification in
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: this kingdom is directly connected to the depth of your
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: knowledge of God.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: The Bible says the fear of the Lord is the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: beginning of wisdom. It says the knowledge of the holy,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: that is understanding to the degree to which you have
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: a functional knowledge of God, not just a theoretical knowledge,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: a functional knowledge.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And let me digress for one minute and.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Just say a word or two about knowing God. As mighty,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: as mysterious as God is, he can be known. He
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: wants to be known. And he's created the platforms and
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the resources for the saints to be able to know him.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: There are at least four channels according to scripture that
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: can help a believer know God. Let me just run
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: through it. Number one is through the scripture. The first
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: way we know God is through the study of the scripture.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: He said, ye search the scripture for in them ye
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: think you will find life and you will not come
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: He said, the scripture testify of me.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: So when we search the scripture, it helps us to
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: know God, particularly to understand his character. And you may
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: have heard me say that Psalm 103, in my personal opinion,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: contains the richest compendium of God's character in all of scripture.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: When you read Psalm 103 from verse.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: 1 to the end, it's a concise description of God's character.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Number two, the second way we know God is by
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: studying his names. We know God by studying his names.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: There was a reason why God allowed himself to carry
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: multiple names as he related with men.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: So he's the God Almighty.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: There are names that are personal to him, but there
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: are names that are testaments to Of the various dimensions
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: of himself.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: That was revealed to his people. From Jireh to Rapha.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And Eleazar. As we have it here. It's a revelation.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Of what God is able to do.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: In Exodus chapter 6. Exodus chapter 6. Are we getting
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: blessed already? Let me just do it. Give us Exodus
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: chapter 6 and verse 3.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I'd like us to read it together. This is just the.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: What they call it? Appetizer?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Appetizer?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: What do you eat before the main course? So, Wadwina appetizer.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Let's read together. We'll read six.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: One to go. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: to Jacob as....
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: But by my name, Yahweh, or Lord, I was not
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: known to them. So, one of the ways you know
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: God is by.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Learning his names.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: So, his possibilities and his various dimensions are trapped in
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: his name. When you study Jireh, it's an unveiling of
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: a dimension of God you will not find in any
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: other name. You will not find Jireh in Rapha, yet
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: it's the same God.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Number three, the third way we learn God according to
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: scripture is to study the man, Jesus. When you study
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the man, Jesus, you find through the revelation of Jesus
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: or through the manifestation of Jesus, the revelation of God.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: The Bible says God who in sundry times and diverse
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: manners speak to us in time past through the prophets
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: had in these last days spoken to us through his
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: son whom he had appointed heir of all things. And
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the Bible calls him the brightness of his image.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: And so on and so forth. Upholding all things by
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the word of his power. The Bible calls him the
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: express image of the invisible God. So when you study
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the man Jesus, you learn God. This is life eternal,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: John 17, 3, that they may know thee, the only
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: true God and Jesus.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Whom thou hast sent.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah. So when you study Jesus, you understand God. And
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: what is very particular about learning God through Jesus is
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: that Jesus also came as a verification system to every
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: knowledge that had been proposed about God That means everything
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the prophets, everything the patriarchs said about God, Jesus came
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: as a marking script. He came as a verification system.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: So that whatever they said God was, if we did
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: not find it in Jesus, we use Jesus as a
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: marking script to correct our understanding of God as they
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: gave it to us.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: You understand that now?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: So for instance, when you read scriptures like a lying
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: spirit came from the Lord. you know immediately that it
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: was an error in judgment of the prophets. The prophets
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: were human because the Bible tells us that when he came,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: he was full of grace and truth. That statement already
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: cancels out that possibility in God because he's not a
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: man that he should lie to. not the son of
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: God or man that he should repent. So when the
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Bible says a lying spirit is either an error in
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the understanding of the prophets or an error in translation.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Usually that's where we get the error. Either a limitation
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: because we see in parts and we prophesy in parts.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Are we together? Or there was a problem in translation
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: because the Old Testament was largely written in Hebrew and
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: And then the New Testament was a combination of Greek
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: and Aramaic.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Here and there you would find Latin too.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: And the words, the Hebrew and Greek words are very
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: strong pregnant words. One word can have a variety of meanings.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: And so in selecting, English is a very limited word.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: So in selecting the English word to represent the Hebrew
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: or Greek connotation, many times those who did the translation
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: did their best, but they were limited. Are we together?
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: An example is using the word eternal or everlasting for
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: the words away. You see, it's a very limiting word,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: but they did the best that they could do. So
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: eternal life, the word zoe, is beyond eternal, is beyond everlasting.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: You see that?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: But that was the best English word that could capture
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: as much as possible what zoe was.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Represented. I hope you're getting me so far. Praise God.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: So we learn God, number one, through the study of scripture.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Number two, by studying his names. Number three, by studying
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the person Jesus.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Number four, experience.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: The fourth way is the weakest way we know God,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: but it's also one of the ways we know God, experience.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Job said, I have heard of thee with the hearing
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: of the ear. He says, but now my eyes see
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: at thee. A man can experience God.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah. You can understand God.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Let the wise man not glory in his wisdom. Let
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the rich man not glory in his riches. Let the
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: strong man not glory in his strength or might. But
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: let him that gloried glory in this, that he understandeth
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: and knoweth me. You can taste and see that the
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Lord is good. Not just hear a sermon about him.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: There is an experience. Is someone learning now? So I
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: just started. I said that so that because we're going
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: to be discussing a name now. The whole discussion is
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: about the name. So I just wanted to put that
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: as a background. So when you say, I want to
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: know God, there's no superstition about it. These are the boundaries.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: If you go outside them, you will encounter familiar spirits.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: You will encounter all kinds of extra biblical phenomena. They
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: may be spiritual, but they will not paint a picture.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe there might be more, but in my study of scripture,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: These are the boundaries of a believer's learning God.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: When you go beyond these boundaries, you are prone to error.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: You notice experience was the weakest, but it is still
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: there because it's important. But the value of experience is
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: that there is scripture, you understand his names, you understand Jesus,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: then your experience can support. So when you say, I
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: know God, I say, how? If you say, I had
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: a vision, I doubt you. I don't care that the
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: vision is spiritual and authentic. Experience is the weakest way
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: of knowing God, even though it is powerful. By experience,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I don't mean encounter. They are two different, similar words,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: but they are not the same. An encounter is different
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: from an experience.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. Okay, so let's
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: go to our topic now.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I'll be teaching along your theme and we're trusting that
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: God will grant us grace in the name of Jesus.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: El Eza, God my helper. So let's explore the help
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: of God.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I can imagine what Reverend Sam has done in terms
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: of establishing your understanding. And we'll just build on that
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: as God grants grace in Jesus' name. So like you know,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the word El Eza is a Hebrew word. Has many expressions,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: but it literally means God my helper or God.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Who has helped me.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: It's one of the expressions, it was very customary for
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: the people to name God after their experience with him.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Or sometimes God himself will instruct them to build a
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: monument around that name and then offer sacrifices around it
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: so that if their children ask them, what happened, why this?
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: They would use the name and initiate a story that
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: will plant or sustain the fear of God in the people.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Are we together now? Praise the name of the Lord.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Now, the idea of help, please look up. I'm teaching now.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: When you hear the word El Eza, the Greek or
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: the English translation in simple terms just says help. But
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: the word help there is very limiting because it's a
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: very broad word. It doesn't just mean to assist alone.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: There are three ways There are three layers.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Are we together now?
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: There's a tripartite understanding that equals that word help that
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: is used there. Number one, talks about support and assistance.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: So when he says eleza and he uses the word
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: help there, number one, it talks about support and assistance.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Number two, it talks about strength and empowerment. I'm showing
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: you the dimensions of it. help as captured so number
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: one talks of help support and assistance number two it
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: talks of help as strength providing strength and empowerment in
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: the new testament we call it the enabling grace are
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: we together now the grace that empowers men to do
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: and then number three we talk of rescue and deliverance
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: so let me take that slowly it's important we get
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: this foundation so when we're talking about god who is
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: my help or my helper, I want you immediately to
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: peg your understanding along these three layers of help. For
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the average person, you may just think assistance. That's the
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: generic understanding of help.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: So generally speaking, to help means to assist. So that
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: you are able to fulfill a task. Or accomplish a task.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Am I right on that? If I say help me
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: pick this. I will participate in the process. But I
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: just need your assistance. And help has two major assignments.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: To make things possible. And to make things easy. That's
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: the whole assignment of help. When you help a man
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: in whatever way you come in, you help, you make
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: things possible and you make things easy. If I say
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: you have helped me, that means you have provided strength
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: or whatever to make things possible and to make things easy.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Everybody say possible. Say easy. One more time, say possible.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Say easy. Now, so I'm talking about the help of
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: God is three-dimensional. Number one, it talks of providing support
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: and assistance. You have that down? Number two, providing strength
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: and empowerment. The Holy Ghost, who is called the helper,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: is also the one who strengthens. Remember?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: And then number three, providing rescue and deliverance.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: So every time you say, I'm trusting God for help,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: you must talk intelligently as a believer. Your mind should
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: be broad. Are we together now? You know why it's
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: important to teach believers truth?
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: It helps your prayer. Prayer is supported by understanding and intelligence.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: When you say, I receive help, your mind can say,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I receive assistance and stop there.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Whereas what you need is deliverance.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: So when you are supported by this understanding and you say,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I receive help, you know what you are saying. You
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: can mean, I receive support, I receive assistance, I receive
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: strengthening and empowerment. Are we learning already? And then I receive,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: what's the third one? Rescue and deliverance. Any one of
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: these three elements is translated help. Now you understand the
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: word eleza, right? So I just needed to put that introduction.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: God helps men settle it for a fact. I don't
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: think we need to drag and argue. God helps men.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Isaiah chapter 41 from verse 10 to 14. Very profound scripture.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I'd like us to read and somewhere along the line
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I'd ask you to support me as we read.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Isaiah chapter 41.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I'm reading 10 to 14. Ready?
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Let me read and then you'll come in somewhere. But
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: please look while I read.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Fear not. For I am with you.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Be not dismayed. For I am your God.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Now you read. I will strengthen you. Yes. I will
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Verse 11. It says behold. All those who were incensed
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: against you shall be ashamed and disgraced. They shall be
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: as nothing. And those who strive with you shall perish.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Is this a prophecy for someone? It says you shall
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: seek them and not find them. Those who contended with you,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: those who war against you shall be as nothing, as
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: a non-existent thing. Verse 13, for I, the Lord your God,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: will hold your right hand saying to you, fear not,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I will help you. Verse 14, it says, fear not,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: O worm Jacob, you men of Israel, I will help you,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: sayeth the Lord and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: The Lord bless the reading of his word in Jesus' name.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: So God helps men. Second Chronicles chapter 26. Let's read
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: verse 5 then we jump to verse 15.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Verse 5.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: He sought God in the days of Zechariah who had
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: understanding in the visions of God. And as long as
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. Jump
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: to verse 15 please. He made devices in Jerusalem invented
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: by skillful men. To be on the towers and on
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: the corners. To shoot arrows and large stones. Read the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: last sentence with me.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: One, two, go. So his fame spread far and wide.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: For he was marvelously helped. Till he became. Are you
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: seeing that this help now does not talk of deliverance.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: This one talks of empowerment. Is someone learning now? Ready
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: for one last scripture? Let's go to the book of Acts.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Acts chapter 26 and verse 22.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Acts 26, 22. Hallelujah.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: I like this one. Therefore, having obtained help from God,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: to this day, I stand.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Leave the other things. We've gotten what we're looking for.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: KJV says, having obtained help from the Lord, I continue.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I continue the stamina to remain. That when the dust settles,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: you are still standing. And they say, by what means
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: are you still standing? Haven't gone through fire. Haven't gone
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: through water. And you tell them you were marvelously helped
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: of God. I prophesy to someone, in the name of Jesus,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: over your life, over your ministry, 2026 will be the
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: most evident year of God's help in your life. I
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: prophesy to a believer, 2026 will be the most evident
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: year of God's help. Even the blind will know you
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: are being carried on the wings of the Spirit. In
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: the name of Jesus Christ. Please be seated. Please be seated. Hallelujah.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Now take note of the following thoughts. Number one. Every
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: man succeeds in life and destiny to the degree to
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: which they find help. I choose my words carefully. Every
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: man succeeds in life and destiny to the degree to
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: which they find help. There are many variables that equal success.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: But among them, a major part of that success pie chart.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Help is the variable that is needed there. I've seen
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: very intelligent people, very articulate people, very resourceful people, but
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: simply because they lacked help, perhaps help as a leverage
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: of endorsement, they can remain stunted, they can remain, you know.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: In the dark as far as destiny is concerned.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Every man succeeds in life and in destiny to the
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: degree to which they find help. Second thought. God desires
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: and is willing to help men. God desires and he
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: is willing to help men. Psalm 121 and verse 1.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: It's important for you to not just know that God
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: can help men, but that he desires to help men.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: It says, I will lift up my eyes onto the hills.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Are we together? It says, from where? cometh my help?
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: When you read KJV, it presents this as a question.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: It says, from whence cometh my help? And then it says,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: my help, verse 2. I like that one. My help,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: not your help. I don't know where you get yours from.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: It's a risk to generalize and say, I will help.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Because some trust in horses. Some trust in chariots. But
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: my help cometh from the Lord which made heavens and
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: the earth. Is God blessing you already? Let me send you,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: let me give you one more scripture that just came
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: into my spirit. Let's go to Psalm 20. I will
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: read it, but let it be a prayer for you.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Psalm 20 verse 1. It just came strong into my spirit.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble. The
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: name of the God of Jacob defend you. I say
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: it again. The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: The name of the God of Jacob defend you. Verse 2.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Verse 2. Send thee. So help is sent. Send thee.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: From his sanctuary. Are you in his sanctuary tonight? That
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: means you are in the place of help. Send the help.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: From his sanctuary. And strengthen thee.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Out of Zion.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Say I receive help. Turn it into prayer in one minute.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: I receive help. Help in ministry. Come on, someone is praying.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I receive help in my finances. I receive help over
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: my job. I receive help in the name of Jesus.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Man can be helped. The Lord heard in the day
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: of trouble. The God of Jacob defend you. Send the
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: help in 2026 from his sanctuary. 20 seconds.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Send the help. Send the help.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Sandy support, sandy strength, sandy deliverance by his spirit.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: In Jesus' matchless name we pray.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Please be seated. Have you understood me so far?
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Alleluia.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to rush because I want us to stay somewhere.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping we'll be able to cover much tonight.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Alleluia.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: So I said that the word Eleazar describing the help
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: of God carries a threefold dimension. Help as support and assistance.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Help as empowerment and strengthening. And then help as rescue
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: or deliverance. And that it's important for you to know
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: that every man succeeds in life and destiny to the
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: degree to which they find help. There are people who
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: may not be as gifted, they may not be as resourceful,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: but the edge in their life is that they found help.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: And like you'll be learning, they found help on time.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: When I describe the character of God's help, you will
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: be learning that help has timing. Help can come late.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: There are two qualities that describe God's kind of help.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: You're making me go ahead of myself.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know what kind of hunger is in this
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: place this night, but don't tempt me.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: The Bible says we should resist temptations. Hallelujah.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: But just as a teaser, wait for me until I
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: get there, but just for you to know that help
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: can come too late. That was the reason why the
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: sister of Lazarus cried. When Jesus arrived, she said, your
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: coming is a waste. And Jesus said, me? I'm the
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: resurrection and the life. I'm not just a healer, Hallelujah now.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: When help comes on time, it is called help in.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Time of need. Have you read that in your scripture?
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Let us therefore come boldly before the throne of grace.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I hope God is ministering to someone that we might
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: obtain grace and find help in time of need. Help
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: can come after or beyond the time of need. So
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: in prophesying over your life tonight and tomorrow, I'm not
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: just going to pray for help.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I will pray that it comes early. It says satisfy
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: me early.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Early. There are many people who if they had gotten help, medically, help, financially,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: on time. Come on now. The man who stayed 38 years,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: it was not a possibility problem. It was that his help,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: even though his help was Jesus, he came after 38 years.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: The man who healed him was not 38 years old.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: So his trouble started before the arrival of Jesus. Please sit,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: please sit, please sit, please sit. I've turned from a
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: chef to a pilot. So I think we're ready to
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: fly now. Why do we need help? It's important for
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: us to appreciate the necessity for help. Why do we
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: need help? There are certain facts that will help to
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: guide our desire for help. If you do not know
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: why you need help, you may not appreciate it when
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: it comes. Number one. The first reason why we need
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: help is that all men, even at their best, are limited.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Please write that down. The first reason why we need
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: help is that all men, even at their best, are limited.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Very uncomfortable but profound statement.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: All men, even at their best, are limited. Psalm 103,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: 14 to 16.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: All men. Even at their best are limited. Read with me.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, for he knoweth our frame. He remembereth
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: that we are dust. It's not an insult. It's an
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: honest description. It says, as for man, watch this. His
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: days are as grass as the flower of the field.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: So he flourisheth.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Verse 16.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: For the wind passed over it and it is gone.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: And the place thereof shall know it no more. That's
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: the frailty of man unassisted by God. So when you
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: find people who are proud in their own strength, you
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: refer them to a scripture like this.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: That the best of man is still limited. Are we
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: together now?
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: In Jeremiah chapter 10, I believe in verse 23. Give
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: us Jeremiah 10. And verse 23, very quickly describing the
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: state of man. It says, O Lord, I know that
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: the way of man.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Is not in himself.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: It is not a man that walketh to direct his steps.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: This statement is a great deliverance. That it is not
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: a man to direct his steps. No matter how visionary
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: you are, there are some things about your destiny you
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: will not know. it will come as a description of
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: God's help, not a product of research, not a product
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: of investigation, not a product of intelligence. I know that
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I will, the sun, the moon, and 11 stars will bow,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: but that's how much I know. How I will get
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: there is a mystery, only the help of God. When
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: they threw that guy, hunger alone would have destroyed. Can
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: you imagine a vision that powerful? You can look at
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Potiphar's wife. Those are major issues. But hunger would have
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: killed him right in the dry well there. But the
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: help of God caused his brother to say, you know what?
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Let's not kill him. Let's sell him. Let's sell him.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Let's sell him.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Jesus. All men at their best are limited.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Number two. Why do we need help? If you are learning,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: shout amen. The second reason why we need help, I
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: want you to listen and.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Then you write.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Human factors like sentiments and biases, like injustice, like greed,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: like selfishness. Human factors can sometimes alter or negatively affect
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: our results. Even when you follow the principles correctly. Human factors,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: factors like injustice, factors like greed, factors like selfishness, factors
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: like tribal sentiments, it can veto your obedience of principles
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: and still punish you even when you get things right.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Someone can say you are deserving of promotion, but because
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: you are Yoruba, because you are a houser or because
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: I fought with your father before he died. How is
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: that your business?
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: You see that now.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: The reality of human factors is what necessitates help. It
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: is vain to wake up in the morning. Does that
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: sound like laziness? No, it sounds like diligence. When you
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: wake up in the morning, you are a serious person.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: When you sleep late at night, you are hardworking, but
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: you can still eat the bread of sorrow.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: Yahweh Father of mercy I come to you Yahweh Father
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: of mercy, I come to you. Oh, Father of mercy,
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: I come to you.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, Let me tell you this. Don't wait until life
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: teaches you a lesson to know how wicked men can be.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: There are times everything can be right on your own part,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: but a man just turns your way and says, I
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: don't like you, or I don't like your father, or
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: I don't like where you come from. You can get
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: 100% in the promotion interview and somebody will keep Human factors, sir.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: There are many people today who should not be in
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: the prison. But they are there.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: There are many people who should be in the prison.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: And they are the ones taking those who should go
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: to the prison there. See that help. There are people
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: who have zero financial intelligence. Yet they have money. And
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: they are wasteful while they are having it. But there
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: is a system of help that replenishes. And there are
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: diligent people who know what to do with money. They
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: have the intelligence. They've read every book. All they need
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: is the leverage. And yet it is not there.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: Yahweh, Father of mercy, I call on you. Yahweh, the
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: Father of mercy, I call on you. You're the father
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: of mercy.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: Hallelujah.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Don't feel insulted.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: But how many of you know there are many irresponsible
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: people who have a U.S.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Passport?
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: It's not a product of diligence. They were born there.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: And as much as.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: It is painful, they can still go everywhere that passport
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: can take them. But there are diligent people who were
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: born somewhere else. And simply because, please sit down, sit down.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Let's sit down.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Let's do this.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Let's discuss this thing.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: At the end of this meeting, you will cry for
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: help with all your heart. You will learn from this
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: teaching that the race is not to the swift. That
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: the battle is not to the strong. Nor bread to
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: them who have understanding. Honestly it is God that shows
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: men mercy. I have heard people preach. And wondered why
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: they are still at that level of ministry. Based on
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: the level of insights they have. I have seen people
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: one day. One time I was returning somewhere from the east.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Reverend Sam. And I saw people gathered. I think it
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: was somewhere. I saw people gathered around, just looked like a,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: you know, a T-junction. And I was wondering why they
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: were gathered there. It was a young gentleman who had
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: simulated a G-Wagon. He built it and he was test
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: running it. But that gentleman may not go anywhere. There
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: are many people today who are 130, 120, they are
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: still alive. But simply because they don't know them. They
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: are not in the Guinness Book of Records. The person
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: who is there, he's not the truth, but he's the
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: one they know. Oh, Father of mercy.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Human factors, sir.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Human factors, sir.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Human factors. Human factors. Number three, the reality of Satan
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: and demonic forces. The third reason why you need help. Unfortunately,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Satan is alive.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: He's still alive. Demons are still alive. And they are
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: not alive, lazy and around.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: They are visionary with a project to thwart everything God
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: about your destiny. The reality of Satan and demonic forces
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: alongside their determination.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: To fight your destiny.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: An adversary he says i will build my church then
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: he says and the gates of hell the gates of
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: hell is a description of the infrastructure of satan build
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: bespoke to destroy the destiny of the saints hallelujah did
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: you the bible talks about a young boy called jabez
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: It starts that story with the end. Then it now
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: tells us the context. He says, and Jabez was more
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: honorable than his brethren. But what happened? The Bible says
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: the mother bore him in sorrow and she named him Jabez.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: It was not a good name. It was a description
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: of her pain and it followed him. One day he
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: got angry.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: He said, oh, that that would have blessed me.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Reverend Sam, there's the story of.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: The man who was crippled from birth.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Crippled from where?
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: So it's not the issue of you didn't fight anybody.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: They even asked Jesus. They said, come on. This is
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: not fair. Who seen that this man was born blind?
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Was it him or his father? You have to explain
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: to us why someone just arrives and arrives with blindness.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Arrives and arrives crippled. The man at gate, beautiful, was
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: crippled from birth. I understand the man who maybe lived
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: a riotous life like the prodigal son, then found himself
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: feeding with swine.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: But what do you say about the person who was
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: born that way? Demonic forces, sir. Demonic forces.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Did you hear in your Bible that when Jesus was born,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: there was a cry in Ramah. Women lost their children
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: because a savior was born. Why should people die because
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: a savior arrived? I thought the arrival of the savior
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: should even redeem lives. And because a savior arrived, children
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: his age made two years and above, they died. So
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: if you were Jesus' age mate, because you were his
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: age mate, you would die. You didn't do anything wrong.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: You were just born together with a savior. I'm walking
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: your mind for a reason. Are we learning now? Let
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, when you look at
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: this world, you see that many things don't balance.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Am I right on that?
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Some of you came to church angry. You've been angry
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: for the past two weeks. God sent me to give
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: you perspective. What kind of father? What kind of mother?
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: You see that now? And then demonic forces administered healing,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: administered deliverance to many people. Beautiful lady, handsome gentleman. But
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: because of where you come from or because of those
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: connected to you, demonic forces are real.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: So you need help.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Help as deliverance. Help as deliverance. It says, I have
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: heard the cry of my people by reason of their
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: taskmasters and I am come down.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: To deliver them.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: For someone in the name of Jesus, this is the
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: night you will wave goodbye to certain calamities. In the
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: name of Jesus Christ. Every pattern insulting the grace of God.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Mocking the dignity of your life as a Christian. In
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: the name of Jesus, it is buried tonight forever. There's
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: nobody in Africa and Nigeria I know.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: except your.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Parents or grandparents paid the price before you arrive out.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: But the average person, when you arrive, you will first
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: deal with what was older than you first before you
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: start living your life. And if you are not careful,
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: you will finish that battle when you are 50. That's
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: when you will now start living your own life. Yes, sir.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: That you arrive and the battle you are fighting is
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: older than you. It was there. Your father could not
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: fight it. And it was waiting for you. You arrive
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: and you are fighting. And if in ignorance you keep pushing.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: And by the time maybe you are 40 or 50.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Then you are done with it. Then you now turn
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: back and say okay let me live my life. And
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: you find out there is no time again. I pray
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: for you. May help come on time. May help come
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: on time oh. In the name of Jesus. Say I
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: receive help. Say it again.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: I receive help.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Say I receive help. Please be seated. We need help
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: because men are limited. We need help because men are wicked.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: We need help because Satan is ever determined to fight
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: the program of God. Can I tell you, when God
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: was revealing the blueprint of your destiny to you, you
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: were not the only one hearing. There was an invisible
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: audience paying attention to what God said concerning your life.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Satan also had the verdict that you are called to
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: be Esther. Satan also had the verdict that you are
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: called to be a deliverer. Did you hear what I said?
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: When your mother was praying and saying, Lord, I give
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: you this, my daughter, for your glory, Satan had the conversation.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: And let me tell you, Satan is a patient spirit.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: He can wait 30 years till you grow. So don't
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: think you are not praying, you are not fasting, but
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: I don't sense any oppression. It's because you are not
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: doing anything serious. Satan is dealing with serious people while
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: waiting for you to grow. The day you now give
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: your life to Christ That's the day you have a
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: strange dream. And the Spirit said, well, you have struck
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: a chord in the Spirit. I was there to stop
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: your father. I was there to stop your mother.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: And now we are here.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: And if you do not understand the appropriation system in
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: the kingdom. to appropriating your life, what is finished in Christ.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: You will be surprised how your life just nosedives. That's
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: why you hear a lot of people say, as an unbeliever,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: I was fine. Satan did not oppress me. Once I
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: got born again, of course. You think he wastes energy?
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Why will he attach you when you belong to him?
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: He that does not have his spirit is none of his.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Is someone learning so far? I'm provoking you tonight and
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: I'm praying for you that what happened to me will
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: happen to you. That you get angry, you look at
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: your life and cry for help. I trust God that
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: even if we stop wherever, I still have a session tomorrow.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: I want us to take a few minutes later on
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: to do some prayers.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Some prayers.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Some prayers.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: So you don't waste these two weeks.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah. It's time for some doors to open. Let me
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: tell you this, ladies and gentlemen.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Everything you tolerate, you have given it the authorization to
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: remain in your life. As I'm speaking to you. Look
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: at your life. Look at your parents. Look at your family.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Tonight's discussion is not just to sit down and feel. No, no, no.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Look at things in your life. If it does not
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: represent the glory of God.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Then brace up. So that when it's time to pray.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: You pray seriously. Pray seriously. Pray seriously.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: People rise up. just when they're about to celebrate their success,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: they go down. You watch those before you. Some of
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: them were serious people, but they did not have intelligence.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: More serious than you spiritually. And they still went down.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: What makes you believe that by default, without understanding, even
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: the understanding of the help of God. Nathanael looked at Jesus.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: He said, forget about this guy. You are calling me
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: to follow Jesus? If he's a Nazarene, I will not
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: follow him. They don't have longevity of impact. He said,
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: can anything good come out of Nazareth? It was a
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: curse upon them. Ask Samson. So when they said another
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: celebrity has showed up, he said, forget it. He will
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: not last. There is something that follows them. They shine
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: for a season. And either a woman or whatever brings
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: them down. He said, don't waste my time. And Jesus said,
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: don't insult Nathaniel. He's an Israelite indeed. He's not telling lies.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: He's not telling lies. How long did Jesus last? Three
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: and a half years in ministry. It's only that he
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: died purposely.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Take it high for me.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: You are my hiding place You always fill.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: My heart With songs of deliverance Whenever I am afraid
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: I will trust in you.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: I will trust in you.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: Let the weak say I am strong.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: In the strength. Hallelujah. Please sit down. Let's see what.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: Let's see what else we can cover. Let's see what
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: else we can cover. Glory be to God. Now there
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: are two things. The help of God, even though he
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: walks through men, but there are certain features that brand
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: the help of God. When God is helping a man,
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: you can verify that it is God helping that man
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: using these parameters. Number one, God's help, even though it
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: may look late, but it is always timely. God's help.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: Is always timely.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: Hebrews 4 and verse 16. He calls it help in
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: time of need. Help in time of need. Now, let
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: me tell you something. I'm just trying to cramp in
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: so many things I told you earlier on that help
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: can come too late. Still remember? It is true that
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: help can come too late. If you're looking for, say,
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: one or five million naira or 20 or 30 million naira, say,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: for someone's kidney transplant, speaking medically, by the time the
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: man deteriorates or someone who's been struggling, battling cancer, no
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: money for chemo, and it's at stage four, Even if
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: you give that person a million dollars and he's dying
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: the next day, help has come, but it came too late.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Is someone learning now?
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: Help would have come, but it came too late. Number two,
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: help can come at a level that does not contribute
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: significantly in providing solutions. Please look up, look up, look
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: up before you write. So number one, that help can
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: come too late. But number two, help can come at
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: a level that is insignificant.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Are we together? I'll give you an example. If you
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: are looking for a.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: House rent of 5 million and I give you 1,000
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: naira and I say just buy a recharge card with
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: it and make calls. In truth, I helped you.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: But that help is not significant relative to the issue.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: So you don't just need help to come on time.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: It must come to the degree that makes an impact.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Is someone learning now? Many people saw the man at Bethesda.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: Some said, how are you, sir?
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: The fact that he could not move his leg and
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: he lived 38 years meant someone was kind enough to
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: give him food. Someone was kind enough to take him
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: to the toilet. Remember, the Bible said the man could
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: not move. He was there 38 years. I am sure
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: that someone was kind. It was customary those days to
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: help the people. For instance, you see perspective of this
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: in Acts chapter 3.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: The man who was carried daily and brought back.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: So when the Bible says he was there, it didn't
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: just mean he was by the sea forever. It just
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: meant that was his condition. They would carry him there.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: The man had to eat. The man had to go
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: to toilet. The man had to bath. Someone helped him
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: but not enough to heal him. So you see, in
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: praying for help, You don't just pray for any kind
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: of help. It must be significant enough to provide an
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: impact in your life. Is someone learning now? Yes. So
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: you're looking for, in financial terms, to help you. 10 million.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: Or you are trusting God for someone to speak over
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: your destiny. And someone just gives you, just counsels you.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: You don't counsel demons out of people. Are we together?
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: But the person has helped.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: He did the best that he or she could do.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Help must come on time and it must come to
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: the degree that provides a significant impact as far as
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: your needs are concerned.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: You have five children, you want to pay their school fees,
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: and someone says, well, I'm sorry, I can't help you
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: with your school fees, but I can give you five
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: kg bag of rice. At least feed them. You will
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: say thank you, because as far as that person's capacity
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: is concerned, that is help.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't add anything so much.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: You now see the reason why the disciples spited the
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: young lad's bread. There were 5,000 people and they were
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: looking for, remember? When the young lad brought five loaves
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: and four fish, they said, well, thank you, but what
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: is this compared to? Among so many people, 5,000 loaves.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: men aside women and children and you're bringing five loaf
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: and two fish sounds silly isn't it Jesus said let
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: them sit down they will still eat oh your season
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: has come Oh. Hallelujah. We have a few minutes. Let
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: me just. Now this is what I will do for
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: sake of time. I will just list it for you.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: And then tomorrow we will deal with it. Will that
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: be fine? I want to show you how God helps men. There.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: In my study. there's at least five channels through which
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: God helps men.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: And some of the channels are compressed together and I
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: will show you very quickly. Tomorrow, hopefully, we'll have the
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: time and then we'll discuss those channels because it's important
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: for you to know how God helps, not just that
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: he helps.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: So how God.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: Helps men, number one.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: The first way God helps men is through supernatural intervention.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: It's an act of his mercy.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: Supernatural intervention Deuteronomy chapter 6 please media let's do it
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: fast from verse 6 Deuteronomy chapter 6 from verse 6
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: supernatural intervention is the first way God helps men and
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: these words which I commanded this day shall be in
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: thy heart verse 7 and thou shall teach them diligently
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: To your children and talk of them when thou sittest
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: in your house and when thou walk by the way,
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: when you lie and when you rise up.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Verse 8.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Ah, no, no, no.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: That's not what I'm looking for.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: Give me Daniel. Give me Daniel chapter 3. Is it
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Deuteronomy 16? I omitted something. Give me Daniel chapter 3
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: from verse 24. I want to show you the scripture
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: I was looking for in Deuteronomy was the deliverance. I
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: think it may be 16. Maybe I omitted something. Now,
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: then Nebuchadnezzar, watch this. This was Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Remember the story? They were cast into the fiery furnace.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: It was not a man that helped them. The Bible
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: says the likeness of the fourth was like the son
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: of man. Remember he says, fear not for I have
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: redeemed you. I have called you by name. When you
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: walk through the fire, I will be there. Nebuchadnezzar was
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: astonished and rose up in haste and speak and said
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: to the counselors, did we not cast three men bound
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: into the midst of the fire? And they said, oh king,
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: that's true, 25. He answered, lo, I see four men loose,
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: walking in the midst of the fire. They have no hurt.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: And the form of the fourth is like the son
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: of God. Verse 26. Nebuchadnezzar came and said, Shadrach, Meshach,
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: and Abednego, servants of the most high, come forth and
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: come hither. Then they came out in the midst of
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: the fire. 27. And the princes, the governors, and all
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: those men, they saw them. It says, men upon whose
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: body the fire had no power. nor was an hair
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: of their head singed, neither their coats changed, nor the
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: smell of the fire upon them. Verse 28. Then Nebuchadnezzar said,
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: had sent his angel. The word angel there is literally
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: his God, not just his angel, like an angel who came.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: Are we together now?
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: And delivered his servants that trusted in him. We don't
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: trust in angels like that.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: They are ministering spirits. And have changed the king's word.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: And yielded their body. That they might not serve or
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: worship God. And then the decree came in verse 29.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: The point is that God helps men. By intervening supernaturally.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: The scripture I was looking for in Deuteronomy. Says that
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: God by the breath of his nostrils. He brought deliverance
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: to the nation of Israel. So God brings help. By
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: supernatural intervention. Number two very quickly. The second way God
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: helps men is through the ministry of angels. Hebrews chapter
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: 1 and verse 14. The ministry of angels. Hebrews chapter
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: 1 and verse 14.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Are they not all ministering spirits?
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: The Bible says they are sent forth to minister for
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: them who shall be the heirs of salvation. The ministry
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: of angels. In Genesis chapter 19, we don't have the
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: time to read it, but that was the story of
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah. Remember, when rescue was coming
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: to Lot, it was angels that were sent. Am I right?
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: And when the angels, they came in the form of men.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: And when the Sodomites saw them, they entered Lot's house
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: to bring him out before calamity would strike. The Bible
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: says the men came and knocked the door. You see
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: how crazy those guys were? They said, open the door.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: Where are these angels that we may know them? And
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: Lot said, don't bring this embarrassment up. I will even
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: give you my daughters. They said, no. And the Bible
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: says the angels pulled Lot in and struck the people
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: with blindness and they wearied themselves in front of the door.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: The ministry of angels. Acts chapter 12. When you read
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: from verse 1 to 11. The Bible tells us that
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: Herod made up his mind to vex certain of the Jews.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: And he caught James and beheaded James. And when he
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: saw that it pleased the Jews.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Is that true?
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: The Bible says he now caught Peter and kept him
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: and with a quaternion of soldiers. waiting that after the Passover,
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: he will hand him over to the Jews. The Bible says,
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: the night he was kept there, but prayer was made
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: unto God by the church for Peter. And then the
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: Bible says, in response to that prayer, angels came, light
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: was shown into the prison, the chains fell off, and
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: the angel began to lead him out. Bezenji soroba, metemakona, metemakona,
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: God is sending his angel your way. God is sending
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: his angel your way. He led Peter through the first court,
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: led him through the second court, and the Bible says
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: he came to the iron gates that opens up to
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: the city. And when he led Peter, Peter confessed something
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: that I want to pray for you. Can I show you?
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: Give us Acts chapter 12 and verse 11. Let me
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: turn it into prayer for someone. Everybody read, please. This
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: is a powerful prayer. One, two, go. And when Peter
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: was come to himself, he said, now I know of
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: a shorting that the Lord had sent his angel, listen,
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: and had delivered me. Number one, out of the hand
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: of Herod. Number two, out of the expectation. He was
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: delivered from two things. One, out of the hand of Herod.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: Number two, out of the expectation. God does not just
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: deliver you from trouble. He delivers you from the expectation
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: of the wicked. They expect you to cry. They expect
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: you to fail. It has not happened yet, but why
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: do the people imagine a vain thing? I know for
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: a shorty, he sent his angels to deliver me from Herod,
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: And deliver me from the expectations. So there were those
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: who were there. They looked harmless. But they had a desire.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: Their wish is to see you cry. God can deliver
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: you from the expectations.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: The ministry of angels.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: How about Jesus himself in Matthew chapter 4. The Bible
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: tells us when he was done. When Satan tempted him.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Number 1, number 2, number 3. He rebuked Satan. He
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: left him for a season. And the angels came and
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: ministered to him. Even Jesus was ministered to by the angels.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Number 3.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: What is the third way God helps men?
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: This one would deal with this one seriously tomorrow because
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: it's a pregnant, it's like a woman carrying, I don't
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: know how many children now. The ministry of men.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: The ministry of men.
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: Ah! The third and very major way God helps, sends
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: his help to a man.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: Is through the ministry of men.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: Psalm 115 and verse 16. The heaven of heavens belong
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: to the Lord. But the earth hath he given to
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: the children of men. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: world of men. The heaven of heavens belong to the Lord.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: But the earth hath he given to the children of men.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: now listen please sit down there are various categories of
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: men in the bible who represent different dimensions of help
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: are we together now when we talk about help through
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: the ministry of men it's a very complex dimension of
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: god's help There are many categories of men in the
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: Bible who represent various aspects of the ministry of men.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: You can talk about the Bezalels and the Ohiliabs. Are
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: we together now? Ohiliabs and the Bezalels. Creativity. They came in.
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: Talk about the Jethro's. Moses' father-in-law, remember? He counseled him.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: As anointed as Moses was, he would have died before
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: his time. Even though he still died, I don't know
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: if it was before his time, but at least he
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: lived longer because Jethro advised him and said, you're on
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: your way to your grave. How about the wine presser?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: As anointed and gifted as Joseph was, it took someone
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: to say, I remember my wrong this day. Oh king,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: there is a man you need to pay attention to.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: How about the slave girl? The little girl who was
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: held captive and went to the house of Naaman. And
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: she said, oh that my master would listen to me.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: She attended to Naaman's wife. Thank God Naaman listened to her.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: And that's how he got his healing. How about Aaron
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: and Hur? Holding the hands of Moses so that victory
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: is sustained in battle. How about the Jonathans? How about
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: the Rahabs who hid the spies?
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: How about Naomi who captured Ruth? I'm not sure Ruth
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: would have had the patience to wait till she met Boaz.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: But I'm sure Naomi counseled her. When she came and said,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: a man treated me favorably, she said, uh-huh, I see
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: those signs. Now, behave yourself. As you go there, this, this, this,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: and that. It didn't just happen because it was the
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: will of God. Someone's counsel played a role. It's true.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: God presents the opportunity. Counsel helps you to manage and
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: maximize the opportunity. You can blow up an opportunity that
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: was sent by God and God says, I've done my
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: best for you.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: You had me, but you did not hear counselors.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: It was your hearing me that brought the opportunity, but
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: counselors help you to manage the opportunity.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: Are we together now?
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: Naomi's. How about Boaz himself? Boaz was a helper. He
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: was a good man. When he saw the young lady,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: he said, make sure nobody harasses this lady. Leave some
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: path for her to clean. This is without knowing she
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: will be his wife. Let me tell you this. If
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: you are only good to the person you want to marry,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: you are not.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: A good person.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: If your goodness is not lavish enough, then it has
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: sentiments and biases in it. You hate everybody except the
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: person you love. Something is wrong with your understanding of love.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: You give. You don't give to anybody. And then you
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: zoom down one lady or one guy. You are not
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: a giver. You are an investor. You are a businessman.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: And it will be a bad investment.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: Now how about Joshua's? The Joshua's who stood with Moses. Now, strangely,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: how about Cyrus and Pharaoh? Cyrus and Pharaoh, two men
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: you should never play with. Cyrus and Pharaoh, they are endorsers.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: They are the kind of gatekeepers you cannot cast away.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: God grants you favor to walk through them. Binding and
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: casting them is a useless prayer because God respects their position.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: Cyrus and Pharaohs. It took Pharaoh to promote Joseph. And
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: there are Cyrus's. You see, God's ideal is not to
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: work with unbelievers. But where believers are not ready, and
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: if their unreadiness will fight his program, he will route
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: through his wisdom and use Cyrus's. That's why the Bible says,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: honor all men. Because you don't know which Cyrus is
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: part of your program. If you honor only believers, you
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: will be surprised that your dishonor to the one person,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: that's the one person that the anointing is on.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: Are we together now?
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: Daniel did not serve Nebuchadnezzar's God, but he honored Nebuchadnezzar.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: Don't tell me your place of work is so pungent.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: Learn from Daniel. He had an excellent spirit, a stainless
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: track record, and yet he was impactful. The various ministry
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: of men. Judas is. Judas are. Judas. When God is
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: apportioning people to you, if it is God himself that
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: sent Judas, don't drive him away. Remember, it was not
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: a demon that brought Judas. God selected the disciples and
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: selected Judas. There are certain adversaries that are the initiation
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: for glory. And if God were to leave you to
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: choose yourself, you would drive it. So Joseph, on your
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: way to your brothers, you will see a well somewhere there.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: Don't close that well. Although you will be in it,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: but it's necessary for your destiny. Can I tell you this?
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: If I am to choose my path to life, I
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: will not arrive. You know why? Because many of the
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: things that have carried me now in the spirit of Judas,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: I would have fought them spiritually.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: And God said, no.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: It's in my wisdom. I know how to work all things.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: Will Jesus ever manifest redemption without Judas? No. It is amazing.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: That it was not Satan that selected Judas.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: Jesus fasted all night and saw Judas, knew his name,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: the son of perdition, and said, come join them. Let
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, it is the reason
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: why that prayer, thy will be done, is a powerful prayer.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: Because if you are to select the variables for your
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: own destiny, the way we are as men, you will
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: select people who love you too much to let you emerge.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: Did you hear what I said? Their love for you
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: is why you will never manifest destiny. They love you
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: too much.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: When you're about to fast, they say again, nothing challenging you.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: Whether you sow or not, they will bring a harvest
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: to you. So you will not respect the law of
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: seed time and harvest. When God is positioning you for destiny,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: when you see John, receive him. When you see Peter,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: receive him. When you see Judas, receive him. Apostle Paul,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: I know he's Judas. Still keep him there. You don't
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: drive every Judas.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: Just because he's Judas does not mean you drive him.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: There is a purpose. Is someone learning now? This is
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: very powerful. Now you understand why the Bible says, for
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: we know that all things, all things, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: all things, Anybody who does not like me, I will
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: drive him out of life. Be careful, be careful. Many
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: people who don't like you will be the reason why
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: you rise. The reason why you pray. The reason why
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: you watch your step. You know there's someone praying. He
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: will get up in the morning and he's like, has
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: something happened to her? I've been waiting. I thought by
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: now something should have happened to her. They keep you
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: in check. Look at me. The Holy Spirit comes or
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: the angel comes to meet a woman and says you
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: are highly favored. And yet nothing in her life looked
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: like favor. As soon as he was done announcing it
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: was trouble. First, the guy to marry her said, I'm going.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: You have to explain to me all this talk. You
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: and God, go and explain. I don't know what to
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: tell the rabbi, the Sanhedrin, and all of that. You
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: say you're a virgin. Your stomach is protruding. I'm the
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: closest man to you. I don't want stories. I've been
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: a carpenter. I've been diligent. Then you now give birth
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: to the child. And the guy, I don't know what
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: she told him, but I later agreed now. Then because
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: of censors, an angel says, run away with the child.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: You see all the controversy around him. He said, this
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: is too much burden for a child that did not
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: come from me. That's why Abraham just drove Ishmael and said,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: please go, leave me.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: Let me have my own.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: Are you getting the point now? And yet he called
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: it favor.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: Look at me. Let me teach you something about favor.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: One of the ways God favors you sometimes is to
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: let you have his car.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: Only you will have.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: Because that scar becomes the only reason why they will
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: listen to only you. There are certain platforms that you
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: will not climb because of skill. You will climb because
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: you are the only one who has that scar. Your
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: access to certain platforms will not be your brain.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: It will be your pain.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: It's true.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not just doing rhetorics with words.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: It's true. Have you suffered enough to teach me about success?
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: Have you been oppressed enough? Else I don't trust your compassion.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: No wonder the Bible says we do not have a
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: high priest. You see, that Jesus was in every way tempted.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: He submitted himself. I always wondered why he had to
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: become a man and then go through all. I understand
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: he would have just become a man, die in two weeks.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: He would have become an adult. He's still a man.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: Die in two weeks and return back quietly. If you know,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: you know. If you don't know, you don't know. But
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: he came as a child, went through all those things.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: You take what the enemy meant for evil and.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: You turn it for good.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: You turn it for good.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: That's your testimony.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: You take what the enemy meant for evil and you
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: turn it for good.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 4: You turn it for good.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you this.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: There are two reasons why I respect people.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: One, Because of their crowns, it's a testament of diligence, endurance, discipline,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: adherence to principles. But the second reason why I respect
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: them is because of their scars. When you are learning
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: from great people, don't just learn from the crowns alone.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: Learn from the scars. There is a lesson only the
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: scars can teach. The crown cannot teach it.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: So when you look at Jesus, your eyes should not
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: just go to his head alone. Make sure you look
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: at his hands too. There is a reason why even
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: though he's in heaven glorified, the scar would not heal.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: The scar will remain there. It's a testament. No one
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: has it like him.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: There are Matthias in heaven, but not the one who
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: was crucified for the sin of anyone.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: Is someone listening now? Let me tell you this.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: Many things you are ashamed of today will be the
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: reason why men will respect you tomorrow. Don't rush seasons
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: in your life. Don't rush seasons. God gives speed, but
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: he does not rush men. You went through a season,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: no school fees. You went through a season, no house rent.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: In fact, let me tell you this. One of the
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: ways God raises saviors is to allow them taste of
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: the things they would deliver people from. That way you
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: will have compassion. God wants to raise you as a
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: kingdom financier. I'm telling you, you will go through seasons
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: where you will do everything right and yet the heavens
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: will be closed financially. You will taste what it means
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: to be at the rock bottom. When you rise there,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: that memory will be etched. It will become an anchor
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: that sponsors compassion. Compassion can be theoretical. It's from your pain.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: You say, I've been there before. I know what it means.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: Are we together now? Apostle, so are you saying that
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: everything I've gone through, I lost my father last year.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: I lost my father this year. It may not have
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: been the will of God, but God can still use
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: it and birth his glory.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: Nothing in the life of a believer is a waste.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: If you can hand it over, put it in your
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: alabaster box. Don't just put the perfume, put the pain too.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: Put everything there and break it before him. Are we
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: together now? When you are serving the alabaster box, don't
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: just carry your incense. No, no, carry everything. The pain,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: the tears. The woman worshiped with her tears. She worshiped
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: with her hair. She worshiped with her past. She worshiped
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: with her pain. She worshiped with her wealth. That's what
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: made it through worship. the ministry of men our time
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: is up please give me five minutes can you give
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: me five minutes hallelujah borrow me five minutes i'll pay
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: back tomorrow please sit please sit please sit now generally
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: speaking we're still talking about the ministry of men men
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: will minister to you at three levels let me teach
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: you this before we pray Men will minister to you
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: at three levels. Number one, there will be men.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: Who are above you.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: Coaches, mentors, endorsers. There will always be men who are
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: above you. The ministry of men who are above you.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: In receiving help now, they come as coaches, they come
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: as mentors. Are we together? They come as endorsers, men
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: of influence. Number two, men who are at your level.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: They will come as allies. They will come as friends.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: They will come as encouragers. They will come as contemporaries.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: And then men who are below you. They will come
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: as aides. They will come as ordinary men. They will
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: come as critics. All of them together create the formation
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: for your receiving help from men. So help comes from
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: men at three levels. Let me repeat that again. Men
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: who are above you. your coaches, your mentors, your endorsers.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: There is a way to relate with them. There are
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: men who are your contemporaries, your allies, your friends. There
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: is a way to relate with them. Are we together?
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: There are those who are below you. There are aides
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: who help you. There is a way to relate with them.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: The way you relate with Pharaoh is not the way
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: you relate with the slave girl. The way you relate
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: with Jonathan, are we together? You need to know how
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: to relate with these people at the various levels. It's
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: very important.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: Number four.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: The fourth way God helps men. Are you ready?
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: The prophetic.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: Now the prophetic is through the ministry of men too.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: But I isolated it differently. And I'll take time to
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: still teach on these things tomorrow and share some more.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: Hosea 12 and verse 13.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, and by a prophet the Lord brought
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: Israel out of Egypt.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: And by a prophet... He was established. The prophetic.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: The prophetic as a ministry is one of God's system.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: The Bible says we see not our signs. There is
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: no prophet. There is none that knoweth how long. When
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: God wants to send help, especially help as empowerment and
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: help as deliverance, he will often use the prophetic.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: It's very, very important. Let me give you number five.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: And we'll just stay here and then we'll come back.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: The fifth way God helps.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: Men is through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. The
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: helper himself.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: And this, we can spend all night discussing the Holy Spirit.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: But let me give you just two scriptures. Psalm 18
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: and verse 29. God can help men to advance in life.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: He says, for by you, I can run through a
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: troop And by my God, I have leaped over a wall.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: There's no man who can run through a troop. Ladies
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen, a troop represents the size of people in
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: this place.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: The difference is that they are all armed.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: Well armed. Some with chariots and horses and weapons of war.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: Veterans of war. What is the possibility of me beating
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: everybody here? Even if you just lie down and I'm
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: to beat you, I'll still be tired. Are we together now?
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: And he says by you I can run through a troop.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: And then by my God I can leap over a wall.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: It's a metaphor to describe the extent of victory.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: That it does not matter how things are. You will
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: still fish your way out. And it's by the help
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: of God.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: Your pastor today is a testament of the help of God.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: The transforming church is a testament of the help of God.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: This man who stands before you is a product of
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: God's mercy and help. Every man you have seen who
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: has risen in righteousness and in truth, it is by
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: the agency of God's help. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: that God placed this burden in the heart of.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: Reverend Sam for your sake, for our sakes.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: Because you are stepping into a season where the reality
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: that is befalling the world will necessitate your understanding of
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: the help of God. This is the year when if
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: you understand this teaching, there will be a clear distinction,
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: a clear demarcation between those who serve God and those
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: who have true spiritual intelligence.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: Known how to access the help.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: We'll take it from here tomorrow and then I will
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: show you how to provoke help. There are keys. Help
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: does not just come, it is sent.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: Are we together now?
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: Can we spend one minute to pray in the spirit
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: and then we'll wrap up. Hold hands with someone and
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: begin to give God thanks if you got anything from
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: this teaching tonight. Helped by God. Helped by God. Marvelously
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: helped by God. Someone pray and thank him. Because you
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: are stepping into a season where it will not be
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: you alone.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: The helper is coming your way. Showing you mercy. Showing
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: you help. Sopran.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: A troop By my God, I leap over a wall.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: Supernatural possibilities by the help of God. Having obtained help
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: from the Lord, I continue this day. In Jesus' name
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: we pray. In Jesus' name we pray. Just one prayer
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: point for tonight. Father, by your mercy, send me help speedily.

  Speaker 2: and pray passionately. Pray seriously. Send me help speedily. Send

  Speaker 2: divine assistance. Let help come as the strengthening in my
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: inner man so that I will not turn aside in

  Speaker 2: the day of battle. Let strength come.
