I will Build My Church (Redefining the Church) – Apostle Joshua Selman · Selah Media House

• 0:01
  Kenya, Hallelujah, East Africa, can you shout Hallelujah, Praise
• 0:15
  the name of the Lord? Amen.
• 0:22
  Just just before I take a moment to do a few salutations whilst I
• 0:30
  sat quietly there as our Father, Bishop Pasinde was just
• 0:35
  performing the function, I had a vision and I just, I saw chains
• 0:42
  breaking, breaking, chains breaking.
• 0:49
  And so before, before we sit, I'm going to ask us to shout the
• 0:58
  word Hallelujah. And we'll do that three times.
• 1:02
  And then afterwards we'll be seated.
• 1:05
  And now as you shout, you're not just rejoicing, you are invoking
• 1:11
  the presence of God. And here's what will happen as
• 1:14
  you shout Hallelujah. Everything that's a bondage in
• 1:19
  your life, everything that's a bondage in your family,
• 1:25
  everything that's a bondage over this atmosphere.
• 1:30
  As you shout that word halal, Yeshua, Hallelujah, in the name
• 1:35
  of Jesus, it will come crumbling down.
• 1:38
  Standing in partnership with all the graces represented.
• 1:41
  Are you ready now? So I'm going to prompt you as I
• 1:45
  say 1, you shout Hallelujah. As I say 2, you shout Hallelujah
• 1:51
  as I say 3. By the third shout, just help
• 1:56
  whoever is under the anointing close to you, and then will be
• 1:58
  seated and then I'll get to the ministry of the Word.
• 2:01
  It was something the Lord prompted in my heart.
• 2:04
  Father, I stretch my hands over Kenya, over your people.
• 2:09
  The Bible says now the Lord is that Spirit, and where the
• 2:15
  Spirit of the Lord is, it says there is liberty.
• 2:23
  Therefore I decree and declare chains that have bound people,
• 2:30
  doors that have been closed, gates that have been closed in
• 2:35
  the name of Jesus. As your people shout that you
• 2:39
  will arise. The Bible says God has gone up
• 2:43
  with his shout. Are you ready now?
• 2:44
  Kenya One 2. 3 The name of Jesus Let shades break, break, break,
• 3:05
  break, break, break, break over families.
• 3:11
  Let it break, Turn into prayer for one minute.
• 3:15
  Let it break here at Rima Feast anointing.
• 3:19
  Let it break, let it break. In the name of Jesus, let it
• 3:29
  break, Let it break, let it break.
• 3:38
  Every high thing must come down. Every stronghold shall be
• 3:43
  broken. You wear the feet to strong, you
• 3:48
  overcome. You overcome.
• 3:51
  Every high thing must come down. Every stronghold shall be go
• 3:56
  there. You wear the feet to strong, you
• 4:00
  overcome down. Every high thing must come down
• 4:10
  1. More time.
• 4:17
  Every hiking must come down. Now clap your hands so ye
• 4:33
  people, and shout unto the Lord with the voice of triumph.
• 4:39
  Glory to Jesus, glory to Jesus, glory to Jesus, glory to Jesus,
• 4:47
  Hosanna to the King of Kings. In Jesus, much less name, we
• 4:54
  pray. God bless you.
• 4:56
  You may be gloriously seated. It's my joy to be back to Kenya,
• 5:05
  Hallelujah. And I want to take the time to
• 5:10
  first and foremost appreciate the Angel over this work, this
• 5:17
  vision. Reverend Julian Keeler, please,
• 5:20
  let's give him a big God bless you.
• 5:23
  Is this how you celebrate your leaders in Kenya?
• 5:27
  Hallelujah. Amen.
• 5:31
  I cannot fail to appreciate our father, Bishop Masinde.
• 5:35
  What an honor to see you again, Daddy, God bless you.
• 5:38
  In the name of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah.
• 5:42
  Please allow me the bias of honoring 2 great people.
• 5:47
  The 1st is Apostle Felix Oku and his dear wife.
• 5:51
  Great friend, great brother, Sir, I honor you, Ma, honor you
• 5:55
  and please help me honor our mother, my mother all the way
• 6:00
  from Nigeria. Bishop, Mrs. Funke Felix
• 6:03
  Adejimo, please, Hallelujah. I honor every father of faith
• 6:10
  here represented everyone who's deserving of honor.
• 6:15
  The Lord bless you in the name of Jesus.
• 6:18
  And I'll tell you, I was very touched when I saw the theme for
• 6:23
  the conference because it's a theme that is very dear to my
• 6:28
  heart. And I trust that as we begin to
• 6:31
  establish, to lay the foundation for my session, that God will
• 6:35
  grant us understanding in Jesus name.
• 6:38
  I'll make 2 requests very quickly.
• 6:41
  Number one is that as much as possible, let me request that
• 6:46
  you minimize any noise whatsoever so that you can be
• 6:51
  attentive to the things that I'll be communicating.
• 6:54
  Then #2 if you can write, if you're unable to write, then
• 7:00
  make a commitment that you will listen to the teachings.
• 7:03
  I'm sure that you'll have access to the teachings so that you
• 7:07
  listen. Faith comes by hearing and
• 7:10
  hearing again. If you're ready for the word,
• 7:12
  shout. Amen.
• 7:15
  So we'll be discussing along your theme.
• 7:20
  I will build my church and I'll be teaching across a number of
• 7:27
  discussions. We'll be having a few
• 7:28
  conversations around this topic. There's a lot to teach around
• 7:34
  the church, helping the church understand itself, its purpose,
• 7:38
  the power that's been invested, and God's structure for a true
• 7:44
  Apostolic Church. But then very quickly so that I
• 7:47
  lay out a few thoughts to guide us for the purpose of my
• 7:53
  sessions. I'm sure that lots of
• 7:55
  foundations have been laid from those who have ministered before
• 8:00
  me. Communication, different
• 8:02
  dimensions and my interest for my session will be around 3 or 4
• 8:09
  major areas #1 My intent, especially now, is to help us
• 8:15
  understand the church. We are going to be defining and
• 8:20
  redefining the church based on Jesus teachings and based on the
• 8:26
  Bible's perspective. It's important for us to be able
• 8:30
  to redefine the church as the Bible defines it #2 we are going
• 8:37
  to consider the architecture of this building, since the Bible
• 8:42
  calls the church a building. There is a pattern and there is
• 8:46
  an architecture that was in the mind of the builder, Jesus
• 8:50
  himself. And it's important for us to
• 8:52
  probe very closely as to how he's modelled that the church be
• 8:57
  built, because the victory of the church depends on the
• 9:01
  dexterity of its building, the structure.
• 9:04
  He said I will build my church. And if I so build it, the gates
• 9:09
  of hell. Will not prevail that means if
• 9:12
  the gate of hell seems to be able to find its way into the
• 9:15
  church, there's something wrong with the pattern and the
• 9:19
  architecture that's been deployed in building that
• 9:22
  structure and God is going to help us to examine that
• 9:27
  architecture and. Then we will hopefully be
• 9:31
  looking at those. Who work in partnership with the
• 9:36
  Spirit of God to build that church and that will be more
• 9:39
  particularly for men and women of God.
• 9:42
  I'm sure that there are several people who serve in the ministry
• 9:45
  scattered here. There's a portion of this
• 9:48
  discussion that is tailor made for you helping to strengthen
• 9:51
  your hand to strengthen your understanding so that we become
• 9:55
  wise master beat us. And finally, I hope that if the
• 10:00
  time allows before I exhaust my session all through in this
• 10:05
  conference, I will be revealing to you 9 pillars.
• 10:10
  Any church that is not built around these 9 pillars cannot be
• 10:17
  a victorious church, cannot be an Apostolic Church, cannot be a
• 10:22
  Church that wields dominion over creation.
• 10:26
  And so I trust that God will help us.
• 10:28
  These are more the things that we'll be experiencing.
• 10:30
  And of course, whilst it is happening, the power of God that
• 10:34
  is already present to heal will set someone free once and for
• 10:39
  all. If that someone is you, will you
• 10:41
  shout a believe in Amen, that as we minister the word of God, it
• 10:45
  will be like it were in the Acts of the Apostles.
• 10:49
  The Bible says that while Peter yet speak these things, the Holy
• 10:53
  Ghost fell on all day that heard him.
• 10:55
  That as Jesus was teaching, the Bible says the power of God was
• 11:01
  present to heal. I'm praying for you that you
• 11:04
  will not only be enlightened, you will be healed, you will be
• 11:08
  delivered, you will be restored, you will be imparted.
• 11:12
  You believe that together, let's shout aloud.
• 11:14
  Amen. Father, we pray that you speak
• 11:16
  to our hearts. The Bible says the entrance of
• 11:19
  your word gives light and it gives understanding onto the
• 11:22
  simple. We have come to receive with
• 11:24
  meekness the engrafted word. Let it build us, let it
• 11:28
  strengthen us. In Jesus mighty name we pray.
• 11:33
  So this this is Part 1. I'd like to title my teachings
• 11:37
  in series so that it just makes our learning methodical.
• 11:41
  So don't mind me as I structure my teachings, I will build my
• 11:45
  church as a topic. And for this session, we'll take
• 11:49
  Part 1, and that will be redefining the church.
• 11:53
  Redefining the church. That will be my emphasis for
• 11:57
  this morning. If you're learning already,
• 11:59
  shout Amen. Right, so for a text, we'll be
• 12:02
  looking at 3 scriptures very quickly.
• 12:06
  And media, I plead that if possible, we work together so
• 12:09
  that we conserve time. The 1st is Micah chapter 4.
• 12:14
  Micah chapter 4. We'll read from verse one and
• 12:18
  verse 2. Micah chapter 4 and verse one
• 12:21
  and two. And whilst we are that, then we
• 12:25
  prepare for Matthew 16 from verse 13 down to 18.
• 12:30
  Here's what Micah says. Now it shall come to pass in the
• 12:33
  latter or the last days. That the mountain of the Lords
• 12:37
  House shall be established on the top of the mountains, and
• 12:42
  shall be exalted above the hills, and peoples shall float,
• 12:46
  to which say Amen. Many nations, he says, shall
• 12:50
  come and say, Come and let us go to the mountain of the Lord, to
• 12:54
  the House of the God of Jacob, and he will.
• 12:58
  Teach us His ways, and we shall walk in his parts.
• 13:01
  He says, for out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of
• 13:06
  the Lord will be from Jerusalem. The Lord bless the reading of
• 13:11
  His word. Second scripture is Matthew
• 13:14
  chapter 16. We'll begin our reading from
• 13:15
  verse 13. Down to 18.
• 13:20
  So the Bible says that Jesus came to Caesarea Philippi just
• 13:24
  for a context. And the Bible says he answered
• 13:29
  disciples a question and it was a question of identity.
• 13:36
  He said who do men say that I, the Son of man AM.
• 13:41
  And there were various replies. They said, some say you are John
• 13:46
  the Baptist, some say you are Elijah, some say you are
• 13:50
  Jeremiah and or one of the prophets.
• 13:54
  Then he said unto them, Who do you say that I am?
• 13:59
  Isn't it interesting that these people until this time had
• 14:03
  walked with Jesus? Remember, he selected the
• 14:05
  disciples himself. He had various disciples, He had
• 14:11
  12, he had other 72 that he sent 2 by 2.
• 14:15
  And so he was probing into their understanding as to who he was.
• 14:20
  And it is amazing that although they were in proximity with
• 14:24
  Jesus, they watched him do miracles, they watched him
• 14:27
  teach. They did not even know who he
• 14:30
  was because the revelation of Jesus goes beyond proximity.
• 14:36
  It is a spirit affair and only the Holy Spirit can truly reveal
• 14:41
  Jesus to a man. There were two men who were on
• 14:44
  the street of Emmaus. The Bible says Jesus appears
• 14:48
  standing close to them and upon having very thorough
• 14:52
  conversations with them. They did not even know who he
• 14:54
  was until he broke bread. And the Bible says their eyes
• 14:58
  were open and he vanished. So here's one of such occasions.
• 15:03
  Jesus is speaking now. Let's read on it.
• 15:05
  So who do men say that I, the Son of man, AM?
• 15:08
  And they answered all kinds of things.
• 15:10
  And the Bible says, and Peter, Simon Peter, he answered and
• 15:16
  said, Thou art the Christ. This was his reply.
• 15:20
  The Son of the living God. Jesus responds and says, Blessed
• 15:27
  are you Simon Bajona, flesh and blood has not revealed this to
• 15:32
  you, but my Father, which is in heaven.
• 15:35
  Then he makes a very profound statement.
• 15:38
  He says Thou art Peter. Back to 18 please, Thou art
• 15:44
  Peter. And he says upon this.
• 15:48
  Rock, I will build my. Church, and then I will build it
• 15:55
  to be so formidable that the gates of hell shall not prevail
• 16:02
  against it. If that's a word for the church
• 16:04
  in Kenya, can you shout Amen that he will build his church
• 16:11
  and it will be so formidable that the gates of hell will not
• 16:15
  prevail against it? Can I give you one more
• 16:17
  scripture? Ephesians chapter 2.
• 16:21
  Ephesians chapter 2. Very quickly we'll read from
• 16:26
  verse 19 to 22. Ephesians chapter 2 From verse
• 16:31
  19 to 22. The Bible says, now, therefore
• 16:37
  ye are no more strangers, but foreigners and fellow citizens
• 16:44
  with the Saints and of the household of God.
• 16:48
  It says You are built, He's talking to men, and then he says
• 16:53
  you are built. But you are built upon the
• 16:56
  foundation of the apostles and prophets.
• 17:00
  Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom all
• 17:05
  the building fitly framed together, grow it into an holy
• 17:10
  temple in the Lord, in whom we are also builded together for a
• 17:15
  habitation, even through His Spirit.
• 17:18
  Blessed be the name of the Lord. And so Jesus introduced the
• 17:22
  concept of church. Now I want to save you the
• 17:26
  burden of going through the lexicons to give you the Hebrew
• 17:31
  and the Greek connotations of the word church.
• 17:36
  I will save that for another time.
• 17:38
  Hallelujah. But Jesus himself introduced for
• 17:42
  us the concept of church, and he made a very profound statement.
• 17:47
  He said I am the builder of that church and I will build the
• 17:52
  church and that it will be so formidable that the gates of
• 17:56
  hell will not prevail against it.
• 17:59
  Before I go into the redefinations of the church,
• 18:02
  many of you when you hear the word church to the average
• 18:07
  believer, there are all kinds of ideas that immediately come to
• 18:11
  your mind. The most common would be a
• 18:15
  building that has a pastor who is an overseer and has a
• 18:20
  membership and some kind of structure and they worship
• 18:25
  usually on Sundays or any other day.
• 18:29
  And that's the average persons idea of church.
• 18:31
  And while that is not entirely wrong, that's far from the
• 18:35
  concept that Jesus sought to introduce.
• 18:38
  And so it's important that we do a redefinition so that we
• 18:43
  understand the church as purported or proposed by Jesus
• 18:47
  Christ. And then as the Bible intends
• 18:50
  for us to understand from that foundation, we can now begin to
• 18:54
  examine a few other things like the mandate of the church.
• 18:58
  And then, like I said, to consider the architecture, the
• 19:01
  plan, the properly, the pattern that was put forth to make this
• 19:05
  church formidable all over the globe, particularly when you
• 19:11
  look at Africa. I don't know too much how the
• 19:14
  church is in East Africa, but back where I come from and
• 19:20
  across, you know, the western region of Africa.
• 19:24
  And as God has granted the grace to travel around the world
• 19:28
  ministering his grace, I I have had the honor of looking at the
• 19:34
  church, you know, from an eagle standpoint.
• 19:38
  And I can tell you that whilst there are many things to
• 19:41
  celebrate about the church, for instance, the the stature to
• 19:48
  pray for, for instance, the love that you see around the church,
• 19:52
  for instance, the things that we do in society and so on and so
• 19:56
  forth. I have had to come to a very
• 19:59
  uncomfortable admission that the church as it stands now, and by
• 20:03
  the church I mean the body of Christ as represented either
• 20:08
  within a territory across the continent is still far short of
• 20:13
  God's expectation. Are we together?
• 20:15
  And I'm sure that's the reason why.
• 20:17
  God impressed it upon the heart of his servant to help us re
• 20:20
  examine the structure again and to go back to the drawing board
• 20:25
  and the spirit of grace to build a church that is truly
• 20:29
  Apostolic, a church that commands dominion and power and
• 20:34
  authority. And in the name of Jesus, I pray
• 20:37
  that that goal will be achieved in this conference.
• 20:39
  You believe that? Shout aloud.
• 20:41
  Amen. I'm praying that after this
• 20:43
  conference, the church in Kenya and indeed the church in East
• 20:47
  Africa will rise to become a robust structure that is
• 20:51
  formidable, making impact across every strata of human activities
• 20:56
  in the name of Jesus. That the church will frontier
• 20:59
  God's program. The church will be so
• 21:01
  formidable, they will drive away every darkness across Kenya,
• 21:06
  every darkness across East Africa in the name of Jesus, the
• 21:11
  Son of the living God. And if you are in agreement with
• 21:14
  me, shout Amen. So it is true that there are
• 21:20
  many things to commend about the Church, but there are many other
• 21:23
  things that have given any serious Christian a source for
• 21:28
  concern. Among them is, I think, the fact
• 21:35
  that the average believer has not been able to demonstrate
• 21:40
  inexperience in his life and in our lives.
• 21:44
  The victory that is in Christ, that formidability, the
• 21:48
  dexterity, the intelligence that was invested in prophecy to
• 21:54
  build a church, we've not been able to see manifest in the life
• 21:58
  of the average believer. So we have so many church
• 22:02
  services across Africa and I believe across Kenya.
• 22:06
  We have conferences, we have conventions, we have prayer
• 22:09
  meetings, we have fasting programs, we have word exposes.
• 22:14
  We have all kinds of theological institutes, I believe.
• 22:17
  And yet, in the midst of all of those provisions, when you
• 22:21
  sample a few believers and have a conversation with them as
• 22:27
  touching the matters of the Kingdom, as touching spiritual
• 22:30
  intelligence, as touching maturity and stature, sometimes
• 22:34
  you are left with pain in your heart because the average
• 22:37
  believer cannot stand in defense as to the things that have been
• 22:41
  made available in Christ. There is gross ignorance among
• 22:46
  believers and unfortunately that also includes leaders.
• 22:50
  There are many pastors, with all due respect, who run assemblies
• 22:54
  and when you probe into their spiritual understanding, many of
• 22:58
  them do not even know who Jesus is.
• 23:00
  Unfortunately, they don't have to be fake.
• 23:02
  They may be sincere and well-intentioned people who were
• 23:06
  I'll trained. They were not structurally
• 23:08
  mentored. They were not taught to
• 23:10
  understand the church nor God's formula for building.
• 23:14
  And so So what happens is that Sunday after Sunday, every other
• 23:17
  day after every other day, we just teach what we think we know
• 23:21
  and we find out we are creating a lopsided building.
• 23:25
  How many of you have seen a building that was not well
• 23:28
  built? Sometimes those who are
• 23:30
  responsible for ensuring that standard will have to break down
• 23:33
  that building or just put an X over that project until a system
• 23:38
  supervises it for compliance. As you travel around the world,
• 23:43
  you find buildings, particularly in Europe, that are hundreds of
• 23:47
  years old. Amazing.
• 23:49
  You find cathedrals, you find buildings, and they'll tell you
• 23:52
  this is 150 years, 200 years, 300 years.
• 23:56
  Might be refurbished here and there, but the structure, the
• 24:00
  foundation still remains intact. And now not to speak bad about
• 24:06
  my wonderful continent and our region back where I come from,
• 24:10
  there a few times where we've had building collapse, you know,
• 24:13
  buildings just collapse because the the architecture that was
• 24:18
  deployed was not to standard. Are we together now?
• 24:22
  And so because of that, the government of nations are
• 24:24
  building institutes and parastatals that supervise any
• 24:29
  building whatsoever for compliance so that it stands and
• 24:33
  it does not become casualty. There are few buildings that
• 24:37
  have been destroyed that did not hurt or.
• 24:40
  Kill people there. And if the church is not
• 24:42
  formidable, we will end up becoming a cancer to ourselves.
• 24:46
  And I'm hoping that as you hear me exhort your heart, especially
• 24:51
  as we start this session, my session, I'm praying in the name
• 24:55
  of Jesus that there will be a shift in your understanding.
• 24:57
  You believe that Say Amen, praise the name of the Lord.
• 25:02
  So what was in the mind of Jesus when he spoke about the church?
• 25:07
  Was it a gathering of people with men of God who stand behind
• 25:12
  the pulpit teaching? Was it just a convergence of
• 25:16
  congregants who indefinitely gather every day?
• 25:19
  Was that all that was in his mind?
• 25:21
  What is the mind of Jesus concerning the church?
• 25:25
  I'll give you 3 definitions and for some of you it will be a
• 25:28
  redefining of the church. Are we ready?
• 25:32
  Number one, my first definition of the church and you may care
• 25:37
  to write. This foundation, I believe, is
• 25:40
  very important for your understanding the church is a
• 25:47
  spiritual strategy write that down, please, before we come to
• 25:52
  the issue of people and buildings and institutions the
• 25:57
  church was primarily designed by its definition to be a spiritual
• 26:04
  strategy the. Church in the mind of Jesus the
• 26:08
  Builder. The architect, the initiator of
• 26:12
  this concept, was designed to be a spiritual strategy, the only
• 26:18
  strategy on earth designed by the intelligence of God that
• 26:23
  sustains the power to frontier the program of God and to ward
• 26:28
  off the arsenals of. Hell.
• 26:29
  There is no other formation on Earth.
• 26:32
  So built known to man that sustains the empowerment and the
• 26:38
  authorization to drive God's program.
• 26:42
  Are we together? And then to be the principal
• 26:45
  defense against darkness? Now we have law enforcement
• 26:50
  agencies that help to fight crime and maintain order and
• 26:54
  compliance across every nation. Driving here, I saw so many
• 26:59
  people, your law enforcement agents and and even right here
• 27:03
  there's a police, you know, the military people and the
• 27:06
  assignment is to make compliance happen.
• 27:09
  And I'm telling you that the only strategy on.
• 27:12
  Earth. That has the legitimate right,
• 27:16
  the ground empowerment to #1 advance God's program thoroughly
• 27:21
  to His satisfaction, and then #2 to ward of the arsenals.
• 27:26
  The schemings of hell is the church.
• 27:29
  Jeremiah 51. Please read with me from verse
• 27:32
  20 to 23. Jeremiah chapter 51.
• 27:36
  If someone is learning already, say Amen.
• 27:40
  Jeremiah Chapter 51 Media Let's work together.
• 27:43
  Here's what he says. Thou at my battle axe.
• 27:48
  He's speaking to men, not just instruments.
• 27:52
  Thou at my battle axe. You are my weapon of war, he
• 27:56
  says. With thee I will break in pieces
• 28:00
  the nations. With thee I will destroy
• 28:03
  kingdoms, reading to 23. With thee I will break in pieces
• 28:08
  the horse and the rider. With thee I will break in pieces
• 28:12
  the Chariots and the rider. With thee I will break in pieces
• 28:17
  man and woman. With thee I will break in
• 28:21
  pieces, old and young. With thee I will break in
• 28:25
  pieces, young man and the maid. I will also break in pieces with
• 28:31
  thee, the shepherd and his flock.
• 28:34
  With thee I will break in pieces the husband man and his yoke of
• 28:39
  oxen. With thee I will break in
• 28:42
  pieces, captains and rulers. So the Church in the mind of
• 28:48
  Jesus was designed to be his strategy for achieving his
• 28:55
  program, his strategy for advancing his program.
• 28:59
  Are we together? And we'll look at Kingdom
• 29:01
  Advance hopefully in other sessions coming maybe tonight or
• 29:05
  tomorrow. That means if the church fails,
• 29:10
  then the only strategy got invented.
• 29:13
  There was no Plan B. He has the power to use anything
• 29:18
  and everything, but he's decided by his predetermined counsel and
• 29:23
  by his intelligence to use the Church as his principal and only
• 29:29
  strategy for advancing his program, warding of the arsenals
• 29:33
  of darkness, and establishing His Kingdom here on earth.
• 29:37
  Someone shout like you believe. Say I am the Church.
• 29:42
  The meaning of that is you are his battle axe.
• 29:45
  Say I am God's strategy. Oh.
• 29:48
  No, no, no. You're not saying it like you're
• 29:49
  following. Say I am God's strategy.
• 29:53
  Yes, you are his strategy for making Kenya heaven on earth.
• 29:57
  You are God's strategy for bringing peace in every home.
• 30:01
  You are God's strategy for bringing.
• 30:03
  Healing to the sick. You are God's strategy.
• 30:06
  Are we together now? Praise the name of the Lord.
• 30:09
  You are God's strategy for breaking all kinds of curses and
• 30:12
  yokes. You are God's strategy for
• 30:15
  establishing His purposes in Kenya and East Africa.
• 30:18
  Again, shout I am God's strategy. #2 second definition
• 30:24
  very quickly. What is the church as intended
• 30:29
  to be understood by Jesus, the Church also refers to.
• 30:34
  Men and women, men and women who come into Christ, Men and women
• 30:42
  who are born of the world. First Peter chapter 2 and verse
• 30:45
  5. The Church refers to men.
• 30:49
  And women, people, the Bible says ye also, as lively stones
• 30:58
  are built up into a spiritual house, the holy priesthood, to
• 31:05
  OfferUp spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus
• 31:10
  Christ, so #1 the Church is defined as God's strategy for
• 31:15
  achieving His purpose for the nations. #2 God's strategy
• 31:20
  refers to men and women, those who have received the free gift
• 31:26
  of salvation, those who have been born of God, born of the
• 31:30
  Word, born of the Spirit, again, say I am the church.
• 31:35
  One more time like you're hearing me say, I am the church.
• 31:39
  One more scripture to buttress on this definition.
• 31:42
  Hallelujah. The Church refers to men and
• 31:47
  women. Romans chapter 12, please.
• 31:50
  Four and five. Romans 12/4 and five, Give it to
• 31:54
  us quickly. Romans 12/4 and five.
• 32:02
  Hallelujah, four and five. You write that very quickly for
• 32:07
  reference. So the church refers to men and
• 32:11
  women, not just institutions. It says for we are many members,
• 32:18
  we have many members in one body, it says and all members
• 32:22
  have not the same office. So we be many are one body in
• 32:29
  Christ, and everyone members one of another.
• 32:33
  The church refers to men. It refers to women.
• 32:37
  Can I give you the 3rd and final definition or redefinition of
• 32:41
  the church #3 The church refers to an institution refers to an
• 32:50
  institution. First Timothy chapter 3 and
• 32:54
  verse 15. First three more teach chapter 3
• 32:59
  and verse 15. The church refers to an
• 33:03
  institution. The Bible says, But if I tarry,
• 33:13
  it says that thou mightest know how thou ought to behave
• 33:17
  yourself in the House of God, which is the Church of the
• 33:23
  living God. The Bible calls it the pillar
• 33:27
  and the ground of truth. You know what that means?
• 33:30
  The only institution that sustains the power to preserve
• 33:36
  the richest capture of truth is the Church.
• 33:41
  Thank God for the law court, thank God for the police
• 33:44
  stations. But no institution on earth is
• 33:47
  supposed to be an embodiment of truth above and beyond the
• 33:52
  church. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 33:55
  That means if you are looking for the truth, the authorized
• 33:59
  institution to both preserve and administer truth is the Church
• 34:06
  the Bible calls pillar and the ground of truth.
• 34:10
  And even though we do not yet see that happen in the name of
• 34:14
  Jesus, we know and we believe that as a people we will grow,
• 34:18
  We will evolve until the church in Kenya, the church in East
• 34:22
  Africa, indeed become the pillar and the ground of truth.
• 34:28
  You believe that? Say Amen.
• 34:35
  One more Scripture. These are redefinitions and very
• 34:41
  important foundations that we need to lay.
• 34:44
  Hebrews chapter 10, we read from verse 24 and 25.
• 34:50
  Hebrews chapter 1024 and 25. I'm redefining for you the
• 34:56
  church. Now listen and follow carefully
• 34:59
  as I read, and let us consider one another.
• 35:02
  He says to provoke unto love and unto good works.
• 35:08
  He said, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves
• 35:12
  together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another so
• 35:18
  much as you see the day approaching.
• 35:22
  So the Church also represents an institution, the institution
• 35:27
  where believers are raised, the institution where people are
• 35:31
  discipled. Are we together?
• 35:33
  That is the act of safety, that when people are saved, when they
• 35:37
  become born again, are we together?
• 35:40
  They are transferred like. A fisherman goes to the sea and
• 35:45
  when he's done fishing, he will pack everything in the net and
• 35:49
  put it in the boat. And thereafter the work of
• 35:52
  cleaning, the work of, you know, processing, repackaging happens.
• 35:58
  That's the church. When the harvest comes from the
• 36:03
  world, they are transferred to the church, and when they get
• 36:07
  there, the work of transformation, the work of
• 36:10
  what? Of washing by the water of the
• 36:12
  world, all of that happens in the church.
• 36:15
  If you fail to see the church from these three definitions,
• 36:20
  then already you cannot be an effective believer.
• 36:23
  You cannot be an effective witness.
• 36:26
  You cannot be an effective man of God.
• 36:28
  I recap very quickly. The church is God's strategy,
• 36:33
  His battle axe. The Bible calls us his
• 36:36
  workmanship recreated in Christ onto good works, efficient to
• 36:41
  understand which God had preordained that we should work
• 36:45
  in them #2. The Church refers to men and
• 36:49
  women, the body of believers. Who are in Christ, saved, filled
• 36:56
  with the Holy Spirit #3 the Bible defines the Church as the
• 37:01
  institution, the preserver, and the communicator of truth.
• 37:06
  And then where believers are trained, believers are mentored
• 37:12
  until they attain unto the fullness of the measure of the
• 37:17
  stature of Christ. If you've understood me so far,
• 37:21
  shout a loud believing, Amen. So Jesus is teaching back to
• 37:26
  Matthew chapter 16, and he looks at Peter and makes a very
• 37:31
  profound statement. He says thou art Peter, Simon
• 37:36
  Bajona, he says, and upon this rock.
• 37:39
  Now it's been an age-old, an age long controversy among
• 37:44
  theologians and men and women of God as to what Jesus meant by
• 37:48
  this statement. Others proposed that he meant
• 37:51
  the church will be built on Peter.
• 37:53
  No, not at all. Others proposed that he meant
• 37:55
  the church will be built by some strategy, you know.
• 37:59
  But then the Bible says I will build my church upon this rock,
• 38:06
  and the gates of hell shall not prevail.
• 38:10
  And I hope you know that it matters the foundation upon
• 38:14
  which the church is built. Jesus spoke about buildings and
• 38:19
  he said one was built upon a rock and another was built upon
• 38:23
  sand. Then the Bible says the same
• 38:25
  experience happened to both buildings.
• 38:28
  The storm came, the wind came, the shakings came, and the one
• 38:33
  that was built upon sand fell flat because there was something
• 38:37
  wrong with the foundation. But the one that was built upon
• 38:42
  the the rock stood, and in giving the explanation, Jesus
• 38:48
  spoke about the rock being revelation.
• 38:51
  So he says, I will build the church, and I will build the
• 38:54
  church upon the revelation of Jesus.
• 38:58
  The Bible calls him the chief cornerstone.
• 39:02
  So the church must be built upon the revelation of Jesus as
• 39:08
  Savior. Jesus as Lord and Jesus as
• 39:13
  Christ. Please write that down.
• 39:15
  Any church, any assembly that is built upon any other foundation.
• 39:22
  If the church is built on the foundation of skills, it will
• 39:26
  fail. If the church is built on the
• 39:28
  foundation of technology, it will fail.
• 39:31
  If the church is built on the foundation of gifts, even the
• 39:35
  gifts of the Spirit, it will fail.
• 39:37
  If the church is built on the foundation of intelligence, it
• 39:41
  will fail. If the church is built on the
• 39:43
  foundation of politics, it will fail.
• 39:46
  If the church is built on the foundation of politics, it will
• 39:51
  fail building a formidable church.
• 39:54
  Jesus said the foundation must be Jesus himself, as Savior, as
• 40:01
  Lord, and as Christ. Shout out after me, Say Savior.
• 40:06
  Come on Kenya, like you are learning, Say Savior, say Lord.
• 40:11
  Say Christ. For one last time.
• 40:14
  Say Savior. Say Lord, say Christ.
• 40:19
  We live in a world where unfortunately, we live in a
• 40:23
  celebrity world, a social media world.
• 40:26
  And when I came in here graciously together with your
• 40:32
  pastor and a few other distinguished men, women of God,
• 40:36
  I saw all the shouting. Some of you were clapping, some
• 40:39
  of you were, you know, you know, just sharing.
• 40:42
  And I appreciate that very greatly.
• 40:44
  But unfortunately that has become the cancer of our
• 40:46
  society. An obsession for fame, an
• 40:50
  obsession to be renowned. And did you know that that
• 40:54
  celebrity desire, craving has motivated the fine, the founding
• 41:00
  of many, many churches. Unfortunately, there are many
• 41:03
  churches that are built around men.
• 41:05
  Man made philosophies built upon sand, built upon reputation,
• 41:10
  built upon tribalism, built upon sentiments and.
• 41:14
  This is the reason why the Gate of hell.
• 41:17
  Seems to be. Free and it can.
• 41:19
  It can thread through the church and cause build it upon Pastor
• 41:23
  Julius. Pastor Julius, you know killer,
• 41:26
  it will fail. You'll build it upon, you know,
• 41:28
  all the great men and women of God, the apostle, Philics, our
• 41:32
  mother, our father. It will fail.
• 41:34
  Do you know why? Because the best of every man is
• 41:37
  still a man. We are limited.
• 41:40
  We are frail. The Bible says we see in part,
• 41:43
  we prophecy in part. Are we together?
• 41:47
  The church must be built on Jesus.
• 41:50
  I'll tell you what that means. You cannot say you are part of
• 41:55
  the church simply because of longevity of stay in an
• 41:59
  assembly. If you stay in an assembly for
• 42:02
  10 years and you've not encountered Jesus as Savior, as
• 42:07
  Lord, and as as King, even if you are an admin in the church,
• 42:12
  you just have a job. You are not part of the church.
• 42:17
  So sometimes because of the need for administration, because of
• 42:22
  the need for leadership and management, sometimes we bring
• 42:26
  in people because of their professional expertise and
• 42:29
  haven't served excellently for many years within a short
• 42:33
  setting, they're mistaken themselves to be part of the
• 42:37
  church. The qualification to be part of
• 42:39
  the church is that you must be joined to Christ.
• 42:42
  You can walk in the church and not be part of the church.
• 42:46
  You can even preach in a church and not be part of the church.
• 42:49
  You can snap photos around the church and not be part of the
• 42:53
  church. You can be a media person in the
• 42:55
  church. You can sing for the church.
• 42:58
  You can help to put a crusade like this and yet not be part of
• 43:02
  the church. Ladies and gentlemen, let me
• 43:05
  remind Kenya and remind East Africa that there is no other
• 43:09
  name under heaven that's been given to men by which we must be
• 43:14
  saved. It is Jesus as Savior, Jesus as
• 43:19
  Lord, and Jesus as Christ. This must be the foundation of
• 43:24
  the church that wins Hallelujah. That's why I started with that
• 43:31
  song Your. Name is the highest.
• 43:36
  Your name is the greatest. Your name stands above them all.
• 43:46
  Above all. Throws and dominion, all power
• 43:52
  and positions. Your name stands above them all.
• 44:00
  Now let me tell you this, ladies and gentlemen, as God has
• 44:04
  granted me the honor of travelling from nation to nation
• 44:07
  serving His grace. His life is wisdom.
• 44:10
  I have seen magnificent buildings in my life.
• 44:13
  When you go to parts of the Middle East, when you go to
• 44:16
  America, you go to certain nations, you see buildings that
• 44:20
  look like they were a lie. Magnificent display of
• 44:25
  architecture. Men have been able to stretch
• 44:27
  their intelligence and their intellect from border to border.
• 44:31
  People have dredged whole, you know, whole seas and created
• 44:36
  cities out of them. There's no limit to what man is
• 44:40
  able to do. And sometimes we bring our
• 44:43
  creativity and intelligence as it works for us in architecture.
• 44:48
  We come into the church and we believe that because we are so
• 44:52
  intelligent and because we are serving the program of God, we
• 44:56
  immediately graduate ourselves into being believers or being
• 45:01
  Christians because we've been around serving in church.
• 45:05
  Serving in church is important. But if that is the foundation of
• 45:09
  your saying, I am a Christian, meaning I've been serving in
• 45:13
  Rhema Fest for five years, for 10 years.
• 45:16
  I am a known face. I am a known name.
• 45:19
  I appreciate your contribution. But Sir, we have to examine the
• 45:23
  foundation. If we do not see that your point
• 45:26
  of entrance is Jesus as Savior, as Lord, and as Christ, then it
• 45:34
  is not the church that Jesus talked about.
• 45:38
  Hallelujah is someone. Learning.
• 45:49
  It's important that we be restored to that foundation.
• 45:54
  Now please look at me. Everyone here came from a home.
• 45:59
  Everyone here came from a house. And how many of you know that if
• 46:03
  you come into my house and you jump through the fence, although
• 46:09
  you are in my house, you are not invited?
• 46:12
  Because the way to enter my house officially so as to be
• 46:16
  received is not through my window, is not through my roof,
• 46:20
  is not through the fence. If you jump my fence into my
• 46:24
  house, you will be arrested, not welcome.
• 46:27
  You are a thief, not a visitor. Even though you are in my house,
• 46:31
  you can snap before you are arrested.
• 46:33
  You are still an illegal person. There are many people who found
• 46:37
  their way through service. They jumped the fence and found
• 46:42
  their way in church and they believe that because they've
• 46:45
  been around there. It automatically means when they
• 46:49
  lift hands like others are lifting hands.
• 46:51
  When they sing like others are singing, when they read the
• 46:54
  Bible like others are reading the Bible, it means
• 46:57
  automatically, no, there is the door.
• 47:01
  Jesus is that door, the only door.
• 47:03
  He said I am the way, I am the truth and I am the life.
• 47:10
  Listen, there are people who use their money as ladders to jump
• 47:17
  the fence and enter the church. They use contributions and
• 47:21
  charity and while that is important, they gave so much to
• 47:25
  an assembly. They became members, good
• 47:28
  members, and they are truly welcome.
• 47:31
  But that's not how the church works.
• 47:33
  The only entrance to the church is young man who was very
• 47:37
  wealthy, came and met Jesus and said, Good master, what must I
• 47:42
  do to be saved? And he looked at him and said,
• 47:45
  why do you call me good? No man can be called good except
• 47:48
  his God. There was a conversation between
• 47:53
  Jesus and a Pharisee, that Pharisee was zealous, that
• 47:57
  Pharisee was knowledgeable, that Pharisee was influential called
• 48:01
  Nicodemus in John chapter 3 and verse one.
• 48:04
  Nicodemus comes to Jesus by night on seeing his miracles, on
• 48:09
  seeing the signs and the wonders.
• 48:11
  I hope you know the word in Jesus crusades.
• 48:14
  He came to him by night, and said, Rabbi, we know that thou
• 48:18
  at a teacher sent from God, for no man can do these miracles
• 48:22
  which thou doest, except God be with him.
• 48:25
  Jesus now replies in chapter 3. Verily, verily I say unto you,
• 48:30
  Except a man be born again, except you begin from that
• 48:36
  foundation, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.
• 48:40
  Except a man be born by water and of the Spirit, you cannot
• 48:45
  enter the Kingdom of God. I know you fell under the
• 48:52
  anointing on a crusade ground. God, that does not save you.
• 48:56
  I know you know a lot of Christian songs.
• 48:59
  You even help other worship artists to write songs.
• 49:02
  But ladies and gentlemen, if your life was not built upon the
• 49:06
  foundation of Jesus Christ as Savior, and I'll come there for
• 49:11
  a moment as Lord and as King, it is not His church.
• 49:16
  It may be your church, it may be your idea, it may be your
• 49:20
  invention. Unfortunately and sadly, it may
• 49:25
  even be your cash cow. Oh Jesus, our Savior, Lord and
• 49:33
  Christ, it doesn't look fashionable.
• 49:36
  Their interest is to receive an importation from an anointed
• 49:39
  man. Whether you know that Jesus you
• 49:41
  will represent or notice of less concern.
• 49:43
  They just need power. That's it.
• 49:46
  It doesn't matter. They need power because it seems
• 49:49
  to be marketable. It seems to be fashionable.
• 49:52
  I've hardly seen people bring seeds to me as a man of God.
• 49:55
  To say I'm sowing a seed for a greater revelation of Jesus as
• 49:59
  Savior, Lord and Christ usually is greater impartation.
• 50:03
  Usually it's a double portion of the anointing.
• 50:06
  And don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with desiring
• 50:09
  those things, but in order of priority, your spiritual journey
• 50:13
  is already on the path of petition.
• 50:16
  If it's not built on Christ, someone lift your hands.
• 50:22
  I see people from the farthest of the places as far as my eyes
• 50:27
  can see. If you can lift your hands and
• 50:30
  say Jesus, you are my foundation.
• 50:33
  Oh yes, say that again, Jesus, you are my foundation.
• 50:37
  Perhaps a man of God can say that for his church.
• 50:40
  Not giftings, not skills, not being a a celebrity, not wealth.
• 50:45
  As important as that is, Jesus must be the chief cornerstone.
• 50:57
  Hallelujah. It's the reason why we don't see
• 51:03
  the kind of power that our Father saw.
• 51:06
  Did you know most of the people in church history who were
• 51:09
  called mighty men who walked the mountain?
• 51:13
  When books capture their walks, they are largely called healing
• 51:17
  evangelists, not healing men. That means men of God who were
• 51:20
  about revealing Jesus. And so he confirmed everything.
• 51:25
  Signs and wonders on their way to revealing him.
• 51:29
  All kinds of spiritual investments life today, we
• 51:33
  desire their results without their passion.
• 51:39
  Is someone learning? Not very quickly.
• 51:43
  What does it mean for Jesus to be Savior?
• 51:47
  I need to play this foundation while discussing the church.
• 51:50
  What does it mean for Jesus to be Lord and what does it mean
• 51:56
  for him? Christ?
• 51:57
  You know we sing this in our songs.
• 51:59
  He is Lord, He is Lord. His reason from the dead, He is
• 52:02
  Lord. Every knee will bow, every
• 52:04
  tongue confess. You'll be amazed how many
• 52:07
  believers, with all due respect, including ministers of the
• 52:10
  gospel who cannot speak in defense as to what it means for
• 52:15
  Jesus to be Savior, what it means for him to be Lord, and
• 52:19
  what it means for him to be Christ.
• 52:21
  I like you to pray in the Spirit, if you are able to, in
• 52:24
  the next one or two minutes, as I reveal to you from the lens of
• 52:28
  Scripture what it means for Jesus to be Savior over a man's
• 52:32
  life, for Jesus to be Lord over a man's life, and for Jesus to
• 52:38
  be the Christ over a man's life. Go ahead and pray in the Spirit
• 52:41
  for one minute. Hallelujah now while I reveal to
• 53:07
  you from the lens of Scripture and by the enablement of the
• 53:11
  Holy Spirit, the revelation of Jesus as Savior, Lord and
• 53:15
  Christ, I pray the prayer for you this morning.
• 53:18
  And I want to tell you what prayer I prayed for you, that
• 53:23
  before we even begin to talk of miracles and signs and wonders,
• 53:27
  my first prayer is that I unveil this threefold dimension of
• 53:31
  Jesus. Let a fresh hunger, let a fresh
• 53:34
  love and a fresh passion for Jesus, let it rest upon your
• 53:38
  life. I don't care how long you have
• 53:40
  been around church, I'm praying for you that a fresh hunger for
• 53:45
  Jesus will rest upon you. More love, more power.
• 53:54
  More of you in my life. More love, more power.
• 54:08
  More of you in my life. It's my prayer, Lord.
• 54:15
  More love, more power. One more time.
• 54:41
  Reminds me of Paul's prayer at the Senate of his Apostolic
• 54:45
  ministry. A man who healed the sick, a man
• 54:49
  who did all kinds of extraordinary manifestations of
• 54:52
  God's power. He walked in levels of
• 54:54
  knowledge. His spiritual acumen was
• 54:57
  unparalleled. At the end of his life, he said
• 55:00
  that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, the
• 55:05
  fellowship of his sufferings, that I may know Him, that I may
• 55:09
  know him for someone. May that be your prayer.
• 55:11
  I've been a man of God, but I desire to know him.
• 55:14
  I've been a prophet, but I desire to know Him.
• 55:17
  Not just to know how to do ministry.
• 55:19
  Not just to know how to get members.
• 55:21
  Not just to know how to preach well.
• 55:24
  Not just to know how to be a Walker, that I may know him.
• 55:27
  Not just to know a man of God who's anointed.
• 55:30
  Not just to build a relationship with a great man of God, as
• 55:34
  important as that is that I may know Him.
• 55:41
  More love, more power, more you in my life.
• 55:53
  Hallelujah Now in Acts chapter 2 and verse 36, please give it to
• 56:01
  us. Acts chapter 2 and verse 36 I
• 56:04
  want to very quickly reveal to you Jesus as Savior, Lord and
• 56:11
  Christ, and then we wrap it up for this session.
• 56:17
  Therefore, now this was Peter Simon after the Holy Ghost fell
• 56:23
  upon them. This was the first salmon after
• 56:27
  the Holy Ghost came that produced the first harvest.
• 56:31
  Aside from the apostles. Jesus had died, His return to
• 56:35
  heaven. Now the Holy Ghost came on the
• 56:38
  day of Pentecost. Peter began to preach and he
• 56:41
  said, this is that they thought that they were drunk.
• 56:44
  He said, no, we're not drunk as you seem, for this is only the
• 56:48
  third hour thereabout. He says, but this is that that
• 56:51
  Joel prophesied that I will pour my spirit upon all flesh.
• 56:55
  Now by the time he gets to the concluding part of his sermon,
• 56:59
  here's what he says. Therefore let all the House of
• 57:03
  Israel know. Therefore let the church in
• 57:06
  Kenya know. Therefore let the East Africa
• 57:10
  know assuredly that God had made that same Jesus, he said, whom
• 57:16
  you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
• 57:21
  That was a sermon and the Bible says when he preached that
• 57:24
  sermon, because Jesus told him the church will be built on that
• 57:28
  revelation of me as Savior, of me as the Christ of God.
• 57:35
  The Bible says they were caught in the heart and they said.
• 57:40
  Peter. Known to the rest of the
• 57:42
  apostles and the brethren, men and brethren, what should we do?
• 57:46
  And he said, repent for the remission of your sins, and then
• 57:51
  you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
• 57:53
  He says, for the promise I like this is unto you and to your
• 57:57
  children, and all that are far off, even as many as the Lord
• 58:02
  shall call. So write this down.
• 58:03
  Ladies and gentlemen, what does it mean for Jesus to be Savior
• 58:08
  over a man's life? What does it mean for Jesus to
• 58:15
  be savior over a man's life? I read for you what I wrote and
• 58:22
  I hope you are able to pen it down.
• 58:25
  Luke chapter or titles Chapter 2 and verse 13.
• 58:30
  Just one scripture that reveals Jesus as Savior titles forsake
• 58:35
  of. Time give us titles 2 and 13.
• 58:39
  The Bible says, looking for that blessed hope and the glorious
• 58:44
  appearing of the great God and of our Savior Jesus Christ.
• 58:50
  So Jesus is savior, and what does it mean for Jesus to be
• 58:54
  Savior? Listen, I read for you what I
• 58:57
  wrote and then explain it very quickly and briefly.
• 59:00
  To know Jesus as Savior means to know Him as love, to know Him as
• 59:08
  Redeemer, to know Him as the expression of the Father's love
• 59:14
  to mankind. To know Jesus as Savior means to
• 59:18
  know him as an expression of the love of the Father.
• 59:23
  The Bible says in John 316 For God so loved the world, you and
• 59:28
  I, and he proved that he loved us by giving Jesus.
• 59:32
  He that did not spare his Son, that he offered him freely, will
• 59:37
  he not much more with him give us all things to enjoy.
• 59:41
  When you say Jesus is Savior over your life, the meaning of
• 59:44
  that is that you have come to accept and receive him as an
• 59:49
  expression of the love of the Father to you.
• 59:54
  To you believe in Jesus as Savior means that you believe.
• 1:00:00
  That he came and died for your sin like the Bible declares.
• 1:00:04
  That he was raised up for your justification.
• 1:00:07
  And that if you believe that report, at the instant you
• 1:00:10
  believe that report, based on the authority of Scripture, 3
• 1:00:14
  gifts become yours immediately #1 the forgiveness of sins #2
• 1:00:20
  the righteousness of God in Christ #3 so way eternal life,
• 1:00:25
  the life of God. The Bible says that everyone,
• 1:00:29
  whosoever believes that he should not perish, but have life
• 1:00:33
  everlasting. If you are in this place, ladies
• 1:00:37
  and gentlemen, and you are believed that Jesus came from
• 1:00:41
  the Father as the Word Incarnate, that he walked upon
• 1:00:45
  the earth as a man, lived a sinless life.
• 1:00:49
  You believe that for your sake, not for his sake, not for any
• 1:00:53
  sin that he committed, that he that knew no sin became sin.
• 1:00:58
  So that you might be the righteousness of God.
• 1:01:01
  If you believe that Jesus died on a tree, the Bible says Christ
• 1:01:06
  has redeemed us from the curse of the law being made a curse
• 1:01:09
  for us. For it is written curse is he
• 1:01:11
  that hangs on a tree that the blessing of Abraham,
• 1:01:14
  justification by faith that it may come upon the Gentiles, that
• 1:01:18
  we may receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
• 1:01:24
  Jesus our Savior, a revelation of the Father's love.
• 1:01:27
  Look at me, ladies and gentlemen, if you want to know
• 1:01:31
  how much the Father loves you, look at what he gave as proof
• 1:01:35
  that he loved you. He did not give an Angel.
• 1:01:39
  He did not give a suggestion. The Bible says he gave his only
• 1:01:42
  son. I hope you know that when Jesus
• 1:01:45
  walked upon the earth, he had his own will.
• 1:01:48
  He had the power to, because of pain, reject that offer to die
• 1:01:54
  because of you. The Father turned his face
• 1:01:58
  against Jesus. Jesus said a lawyer, a lawyer,
• 1:02:01
  la Magtabaxanai. He said Father, why is it that
• 1:02:05
  you are forsaken me. He turned his face because he
• 1:02:08
  could not behold Jesus as an embodiment of sin.
• 1:02:12
  Like the old evangelist will say.
• 1:02:14
  It was not the nails that held him in the cross.
• 1:02:17
  When he looked into Kenya, he saw you and you and your father
• 1:02:22
  saved or unsaved and your mother, and he was what that
• 1:02:25
  sacrifice to know Jesus as Savior means to know the extent
• 1:02:33
  of His love for you, that for your sake He deroged himself,
• 1:02:37
  even though he was God in every way.
• 1:02:40
  The Word Incarnate, the Word that became flesh, walked upon
• 1:02:44
  the earth, became a slave to mortal men, humiliated by their
• 1:02:48
  pride and anger, manipulated man, Satan manipulated man, and
• 1:02:53
  they crucify the Christ. And when he hung upon that
• 1:02:56
  cross, even through the pain, he looked at you, he looked at me,
• 1:03:01
  and we were worth the sacrifice. And so here's how the Bible puts
• 1:03:07
  it. It says the Word is 90 in thy
• 1:03:11
  mouth and in thy heart. Even the Word of Faith that we
• 1:03:14
  preach that if you will believe the Lord Jesus and you will
• 1:03:20
  believe that he died, He was raised up for your
• 1:03:22
  justification, He says you shall be saved.
• 1:03:25
  For with the mouth man believes unto righteousness, or with the
• 1:03:29
  heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the
• 1:03:32
  mouth confession is made unto salvation.
• 1:03:35
  Can I tell you the truth? You have not truly believed that
• 1:03:38
  Jesus is Savior until you respond by receiving His life.
• 1:03:44
  If you are just aware of it as an information, then it's not
• 1:03:47
  become spirit and life. Somewhere in the course of this
• 1:03:55
  conference will be given many, many people an opportunity to
• 1:04:00
  know Jesus as Savior. You've known him as a good man.
• 1:04:05
  That's wonderful, but not enough to save you.
• 1:04:07
  You've known him as a founder of a Christian sect called
• 1:04:11
  Christianity. Well, your idea is fair enough,
• 1:04:15
  but not enough to guarantee your eternal destiny.
• 1:04:17
  Ladies and gentlemen, the Bible says that all have seen and
• 1:04:22
  fallen short of the glory of God, but Jesus came as that
• 1:04:26
  propitiation. Very elementary teaching, but it
• 1:04:29
  is the foundation upon which power is derived.
• 1:04:33
  The reason why we are not seeing a powerful, glorious, invincible
• 1:04:38
  Apostolic Church is because we've thrown away this
• 1:04:42
  revelation of Jesus as Savior. And so we host people in our
• 1:04:46
  congregation for many years and never care as to whether they
• 1:04:49
  have met the Savior. You can meet the healer.
• 1:04:53
  Everyone Jesus healed still died.
• 1:04:55
  Even Lazarus, who he brought back to life, still died.
• 1:04:58
  The only key to life and life eternal is not resurrection from
• 1:05:02
  the dead. By a miracle you can raise a
• 1:05:04
  dead man who is an unbeliever. He will still die eventually and
• 1:05:07
  go to hell, but there's a new one living way.
• 1:05:11
  Jesus, I present to you for someone, I represent for you for
• 1:05:16
  another. Perhaps you come from any other
• 1:05:18
  religion and you've wanted an opportunity to really understand
• 1:05:23
  the gospel. I'll summarize the gospel for
• 1:05:25
  you in one minute. The Bible makes a declaration
• 1:05:28
  based on God's verdict that all men have sinned and have fallen
• 1:05:32
  short of the glory of God, and that the wages of sin according
• 1:05:35
  to God's eternal justice is death.
• 1:05:38
  Every man by that verdict is doomed to die.
• 1:05:41
  The the the result is to pay for their sins and unfortunately our
• 1:05:46
  righteousness. The Bible already puts a verdict
• 1:05:48
  on it that it is as filthy rags. And so the Bible also says that
• 1:05:53
  God does not desire that we perish, but that all come to
• 1:05:56
  salvation. And he came up with a plan, a
• 1:05:59
  plan that had been there in the eons of time, but executed in
• 1:06:03
  the days of Jesus. He came as the Word, deroped
• 1:06:08
  himself as God and wore the body of mortal flesh, walked upon the
• 1:06:12
  earth for over a period of 30 years, 33 years as a
• 1:06:16
  demonstration of the Father's love.
• 1:06:19
  Then he began the process of His passion becoming sin for us, was
• 1:06:24
  beaten and lacerated by wicked men who did not know that He
• 1:06:27
  even came to die. And before you blame them, I
• 1:06:30
  hope you realize that through those men we also participated
• 1:06:34
  in flogging the Christ through our behavior, through our sin.
• 1:06:39
  He took the sin of the whole world upon himself.
• 1:06:43
  And the Bible says eventually he got to that tree and he was
• 1:06:48
  nailed hand and feet and he looked at you and looked at me
• 1:06:52
  and said it is finished. He descended to head is the
• 1:06:55
  place of the dead and fulfill the eternal justice, the claims
• 1:07:00
  of justice. The Bible says he made a public
• 1:07:04
  show of Satan and his cohorts in hell triumphing over them and
• 1:07:09
  collected the keys that Satan collected from Adam.
• 1:07:12
  He said I am he that was dead, and now he's alive and I have
• 1:07:16
  the keys, the hold of the key of David that can open the door
• 1:07:21
  that no man can shut, then shut the door that no man can open.
• 1:07:25
  The Bible says he resurrected now not as the only begotten,
• 1:07:31
  but the first begotten among we the brethren.
• 1:07:37
  And when he resurrected, the Bible says graves were open and
• 1:07:41
  the Saints came and declared the goodness of God.
• 1:07:44
  And then he was exalted and a coronation service was held for
• 1:07:49
  him in heaven. The Bible declares the Lord said
• 1:07:52
  to my Lord, sit down with my right hand.
• 1:07:54
  And the name was given to him. That name is a declaration is an
• 1:07:59
  office. He always had the office, but he
• 1:08:01
  had it alone. But this time around he de
• 1:08:04
  robbed himself from that office to have it again together with
• 1:08:08
  me and you. The reason why he deroped it was
• 1:08:12
  because he had it alone, but he did not want it alone.
• 1:08:15
  So he deroped himself and walked through the path of earning it
• 1:08:19
  by conquest, so that in Christ, as he earned that title, I
• 1:08:23
  became seated with him, crucified with him, raised up
• 1:08:27
  with him. It was Paul who gave us that
• 1:08:30
  revelation, and now we are seated with him.
• 1:08:32
  He says far above. But this is only the reality of
• 1:08:36
  those who come into Christ Jesus as Savior.
• 1:08:42
  There are consequences of rejecting the gift of His
• 1:08:46
  sacrifice. The consequences when your time
• 1:08:48
  is done and you depart this place.
• 1:08:52
  Without that functional relationship based on the
• 1:08:55
  authority of Scripture, you are doomed eternally.
• 1:08:59
  The only hope for mankind, modern welfare, modern a
• 1:09:03
  civilized society, is that you place your faith upon Jesus.
• 1:09:08
  Everybody say Jesus as savior #2 very quickly.
• 1:09:13
  What does it mean for Jesus to be Lord over your life?
• 1:09:18
  What does it mean for Jesus to be Lord over a man's life?
• 1:09:25
  To know Jesus as Lord means to understand the extent of his
• 1:09:31
  power, the extent of his dominion, the extent of his
• 1:09:37
  influence. To know Jesus as Lord means to
• 1:09:43
  understand the extent of his power.
• 1:09:46
  I'm showing you the foundations upon which a true Apostolic
• 1:09:50
  Church is built on the full extent of his power.
• 1:09:55
  The Bible says, Let this mine Philippians 2 and verse 5, let
• 1:09:58
  it be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, that although he
• 1:10:02
  was God, he did not consider the robbery, but that for your sake
• 1:10:06
  he de robbed himself and became a man, and died even the death
• 1:10:11
  of the cross. The Bible says, Wherefore on
• 1:10:14
  account of that sacrifice, God had so highly exalted him and
• 1:10:19
  given him a name and office. He says at that office, at the
• 1:10:24
  invocation of that name, everything should bow of things
• 1:10:29
  in heaven, of things in the earth.
• 1:10:32
  I'm showing you the accent of his dominion, and that every
• 1:10:35
  tongue should confess that that Jesus, who was Savior is also
• 1:10:39
  Lord to the glory of the Father. Listen, you know what it means
• 1:10:45
  to know Jesus as Lord. Nobody voted him into power.
• 1:10:51
  He is not threatened by any man's pride.
• 1:10:54
  When you call Jesus Lord, you are calling him the sovereign. 1
• 1:10:58
  Indomitable on top by the pride of man.
• 1:11:02
  He can bring the mighty to their knees and raise the poor and
• 1:11:05
  place them on a Dong hill. Jesus as Lord.
• 1:11:09
  I'll show you a scripture. First Chronicles chapter 29 and
• 1:11:14
  verse 11. Never forget this scripture for
• 1:11:16
  as long as you leave First Chronicles chapter 29 and verse
• 1:11:23
  11. I wish that we read it together
• 1:11:26
  for as many of you who are able to see it projected.
• 1:11:28
  Let's read in concert. Ready 1 to go dine.
• 1:11:31
  Oh, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the
• 1:11:38
  victory and the majesty for all that is in heaven.
• 1:11:42
  I like this and all that is in the earth.
• 1:11:45
  Thine is the Kingdom, O Lord, and thou as exalted as head
• 1:11:51
  above it all. Let's try verse 12.
• 1:11:54
  Verse 12 now concerns you. It says both riches and honor
• 1:11:58
  come from thee, and thou reignest over all.
• 1:12:01
  And in thine hand is power and might, and in thy hand it is to
• 1:12:06
  make great and to give strength to all.
• 1:12:08
  Listen to me, you will never taste of greatness in this
• 1:12:12
  Kingdom until you know Jesus as Lord.
• 1:12:16
  The revelation of Jesus as Lord and correct your background, it
• 1:12:20
  can correct your lonely estate. You may be weak, you may be
• 1:12:24
  nobody, your father's house may be nobody.
• 1:12:27
  But ladies and gentlemen, the day you encounter Jesus as Lord,
• 1:12:32
  He can elevate a man, any man. Call him Joshua Salman, you are
• 1:12:36
  right, call him Pastor Julian, you are right.
• 1:12:38
  Call him Mommy Fuka, you are right, He can lift anyone.
• 1:12:42
  Call him Apostle Felix, you are right.
• 1:12:44
  Ordinary man helped by God as they encounter His Lordship,
• 1:12:50
  suffering ruler, the manipulator of all things and that it makes
• 1:12:54
  it consistent with his will. I like this.
• 1:13:00
  For someone who looked at you and said you will never rise, I
• 1:13:03
  have sad news. There is a revelation of Jesus
• 1:13:06
  as Lord, and when He Jesus as Lord, the cure to all the causes
• 1:13:19
  and all the yokes, the cure to all kinds of enchantments.
• 1:13:23
  I know there are powers, it is true.
• 1:13:26
  I know there is witchcraft, it is true.
• 1:13:29
  I know there are causes. But ladies and gentlemen, when
• 1:13:32
  the Lord of the universe shows up in your life, when the Lord
• 1:13:36
  of the universe shows up over Kenya, have you not read in your
• 1:13:40
  Bible that He brought things down and turned them to animals?
• 1:13:48
  Hallelujah, Hear me. Your response to Jesus as Savior
• 1:13:55
  is that you surrender your life in exchange for His life.
• 1:13:59
  Your response to Jesus as Lord is that you worship Him and give
• 1:14:05
  him the honor that He deserves. You don't worship the Savior,
• 1:14:09
  you worship the Lord. There's a part of the song I
• 1:14:42
  like yours. Is the Kingdom, Yours Is the
• 1:14:48
  power, Yours is the glory forever.
• 1:14:53
  Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the power, Yours is the glory
• 1:15:05
  forever. Hallelujah.
• 1:15:10
  Hallelujah. I introduce to you Kaya, the
• 1:15:14
  Lord, not just the Savior, the lifter of men, the Lord, the
• 1:15:20
  redefiner of men's destinies, the one who can pick an ordinary
• 1:15:24
  man. Are we together now and turn
• 1:15:28
  that man to a sign and a wonder. I present to you the Lord.
• 1:15:32
  Once have I spoken, the custodian of the power of the
• 1:15:35
  Godhead, the Lord, the one who declares a thing and it comes to
• 1:15:43
  pass. Hear me.
• 1:15:47
  The revelation of Jesus as Lord compels worship to come from
• 1:15:51
  you, but it also builds your faith.
• 1:15:54
  You want to do exploits in this Kingdom in all the dimensions of
• 1:15:58
  Jesus. You must learn is to know Him as
• 1:16:00
  Lord. Then the whole world becomes
• 1:16:02
  small and you know there is nothing you cannot do.
• 1:16:06
  And when men beat their chest in pride and say only at my word
• 1:16:10
  will you rise? You tell them, be careful.
• 1:16:12
  When I talk of the Lord, I mean beyond the George.
• 1:16:15
  When I talk of the Lord, I mean beyond the anatomy.
• 1:16:18
  I'm talking about the King of kings, the Lord of Lords.
• 1:16:22
  Someone said Jesus is Lord, shouted.
• 1:16:25
  Say Jesus is Lord over my life. Say Jesus is Lord over my
• 1:16:30
  business. Say Jesus is Lord over my
• 1:16:34
  children. Say Jesus is Lord over Kenya.
• 1:16:37
  Say Jesus is Lord over East Africa.
• 1:16:40
  Come on. Say Jesus is Lord over my
• 1:16:43
  background. Jesus is Lord over my past, Lord
• 1:16:48
  over my present, Lord over my future over my tomorrow.
• 1:16:56
  Hallelujah. There are names that are
• 1:17:00
  connected to the Lord. I'll tell you a few of them.
• 1:17:04
  One of them is the Maker. Only the Lord can make.
• 1:17:08
  He said I will lift up my eyes onto the hills from whence
• 1:17:12
  commit my help. He says my help comment from the
• 1:17:15
  Lord the Maker. He does not just make the
• 1:17:19
  heavens and the earth. He can make a ministry that is
• 1:17:22
  dying in Kenya and bring it back to life make up for you.
• 1:17:27
  He can make an ordinary man get this as a revelation.
• 1:17:30
  When you know Him as Lord, my goodness, you become indomitable
• 1:17:34
  in life. I tell you, when you know Him as
• 1:17:37
  Lord, you will not find a reason to weep again.
• 1:17:40
  His Lordship is an equalizer regardless your background.
• 1:17:44
  Knowing Him as Lord gives you the faith that moves mountain
• 1:17:53
  Kenya. The earth is the Lords.
• 1:17:57
  Did you ever read that in your scripture?
• 1:17:59
  The earth is the Lords. I'm speaking to someone who is
• 1:18:03
  trusting God for structural establishment.
• 1:18:06
  You are trusting God to own your own home.
• 1:18:09
  The earth is the Lords. And the day you build a
• 1:18:12
  relationship with that Lord, every man gives according to his
• 1:18:16
  ages. There are no two landlords on
• 1:18:22
  earth. Everyone met land.
• 1:18:25
  The real owner is the Lord, and the day he points one at your
• 1:18:29
  direction, no power sustains what it takes to stop you.
• 1:18:34
  Come on now, business people know him as the Lord.
• 1:18:37
  And what's the grace that makes for exploits?
• 1:18:44
  Let's wrap up Jesus as the Christ of God.
• 1:18:50
  What does it mean to know Him as Christ?
• 1:18:54
  Rima Fest, This is what you get for responding to a call.
• 1:19:02
  And I will build my church upon this revelation of Jesus as
• 1:19:09
  Savior, as Jesus as Lord, the absolute honor.
• 1:19:16
  That revelation is important because our world today is full
• 1:19:19
  of arrogant men, people who arrogate all kinds of things to
• 1:19:24
  themselves. It is one thing for a man to go
• 1:19:28
  to bed, but it's another thing for the man to wake up.
• 1:19:31
  I've said it that the moment you sleep, the power to wake up is
• 1:19:34
  no longer yours. Only the Lord sustains the power
• 1:19:38
  to tap a man and say, I give you the gift of another day.
• 1:19:49
  Write this down. What does it mean for Jesus to
• 1:19:54
  be Lord, to be Christ? And here's where we wrap up for
• 1:19:58
  this session. To know Jesus as Christ is the
• 1:20:04
  word Messiah means to understand His divinity and to understand
• 1:20:11
  the extent of His oneness with the Godhead.
• 1:20:16
  To know Jesus as the Christ means number one, to understand
• 1:20:21
  his divinity, that although he wore mortal flesh, do not be
• 1:20:26
  mistaken by that 33 year old body.
• 1:20:29
  He came from above to understand his divinity.
• 1:20:34
  That's what Nicodemus came and told Jesus.
• 1:20:37
  He said I have studied you and the results that come from you.
• 1:20:41
  Men cannot produce that result. To my conclusion as a Pharisee
• 1:20:45
  is that you are a man come from God, you are a teacher come from
• 1:20:50
  God. Was that not the testimony of
• 1:20:53
  John the Baptist? In John chapter 1-6 and seven,
• 1:20:56
  the Bible says there was a man, even though he was a man, he was
• 1:21:00
  sent from God. Can I tell you when you get the
• 1:21:03
  revelation of Jesus as Christ, you'll become a replication of
• 1:21:08
  that revelation. So they see an ordinary man,
• 1:21:11
  very ordinary, but your results betray this ordinary frame.
• 1:21:16
  They know that is God trapped in a man, that the Holy Ghost has
• 1:21:20
  come in partnership with a man, that he that is joined to Christ
• 1:21:24
  has become one spirit. You have also become an
• 1:21:27
  expression of the Christ. You'll become a Messiah to your
• 1:21:30
  world. You'll become a blessing, a
• 1:21:32
  custodian of his power. His wisdom is anointing.
• 1:21:36
  This right here, ladies and gentlemen, is where the Minister
• 1:21:39
  of the Holy Spirit comes to produce Christs out of men.
• 1:21:45
  He reveals how divine you are. When the Bible says you are
• 1:21:48
  seated with Christ. He didn't say you are seated
• 1:21:51
  with the Savior. He didn't say you are seated
• 1:21:53
  with the Lord. When it has to do with authority
• 1:21:56
  and dominion and manifesting power through your life, you
• 1:22:00
  need the revelation of the Christ.
• 1:22:02
  Look at me ladies and gentlemen. It is upon that revelation that
• 1:22:07
  someone can say I reject sickness.
• 1:22:09
  It is upon that revelation that a man can say no weapon that is
• 1:22:13
  fashion against me will prosper, that even if I drink any deadly
• 1:22:16
  thing, because the Christ is not only that the crisis had worked
• 1:22:21
  in me. Are we together?
• 1:22:22
  We have become inseparable. This is a revelation that
• 1:22:26
  imposes hands. These are not the same hands
• 1:22:29
  that came out of my mother's womb.
• 1:22:31
  No, this hand has become a puppet.
• 1:22:33
  It is housing the eternal Spirit.
• 1:22:35
  When I stretch my hands, it is the Godhead stretching his hands
• 1:22:39
  through me. And you will produce
• 1:22:41
  possibilities through that light.
• 1:22:45
  Listen, ladies and gentlemen, to know Him as the Christ is to
• 1:22:50
  understand the extent of His power that's been invested in
• 1:22:54
  the Saints. Paul prayed a prayer over the
• 1:22:57
  church in Ephesians chapter 1, reading from verse 15 down to
• 1:23:01
  21, but my verse of emphasis is verse 19.
• 1:23:05
  Among the many things he prayed that we will know the eyes of
• 1:23:08
  our understanding being enlightened is that we
• 1:23:10
  understand the extent of His power acts efficiency.
• 1:23:16
  One verse 19 is says to know the exceeding greatness of his power
• 1:23:22
  to us word who believe the very power that was invested in Jesus
• 1:23:27
  that brought him from Hades to the earth and exalted him.
• 1:23:32
  Ladies and gentlemen, the church helped us on the anointing.
• 1:23:35
  The church is not a powerless political sociological entity.
• 1:23:40
  While we offer charity, don't take us for granted.
• 1:23:45
  God resides within the church. Did you hear what I said?
• 1:23:49
  God resigns within the church is the reason why we can say to 1
• 1:23:53
  go and he will go. We can say to his Spirit give
• 1:23:56
  way. It is not only because we are
• 1:23:58
  under the coven of his lordship, the capacity to manipulate
• 1:24:02
  things to confront to his will. He's been invested in the
• 1:24:06
  church. Oh yes, Sir, we are not
• 1:24:08
  ordinary. We are custodians of his power.
• 1:24:11
  The Spirit of God lives within us.
• 1:24:15
  When I speak beyond the frailty of the words, there is power
• 1:24:21
  that is released from that revelation of the Christ.
• 1:24:25
  That is the Spirit of God speaking to a man, penetrating
• 1:24:29
  hearts, penetrating destinies, Jesus as a Christ, Jesus as a
• 1:24:36
  Christ. The Holy Ghost comes to be a
• 1:24:41
  witness to that revelation. The reason why the church is
• 1:24:45
  powerless is because we know Him as Savior and we are grateful.
• 1:24:50
  The evangelicals brought us that revelation, but many of them
• 1:24:54
  died. They died while they preached
• 1:24:57
  and it looked as if He was powerless because they revealed
• 1:25:00
  Him as Savior, but they did not reveal the Christ.
• 1:25:05
  Today, by the message of God, He's built His body to become
• 1:25:08
  matured enough to now be able to host this tripartite revelation
• 1:25:13
  of Savior, of Lord and of Christ.
• 1:25:18
  And Jesus said if the church is built on that foundation, it
• 1:25:21
  will be so formidable it is impossible.
• 1:25:25
  Satan cannot escape Jesus being Savior, then being Lord, then
• 1:25:30
  being Christ. Because there are times the
• 1:25:32
  revelation of the Savior brings you into the Kingdom.
• 1:25:36
  But as a believer you can be tried, you can be tested.
• 1:25:39
  The revelation of His lordship now puts you in a position of
• 1:25:43
  authority. But there are times that all
• 1:25:45
  hell breaks out. You need the anointing, you need
• 1:25:48
  power. Acts chapter 10 and verse 38 it
• 1:25:51
  says how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and
• 1:25:54
  with power and he went about he didn't just go about with
• 1:25:58
  compassion. He didn't just go about with
• 1:26:00
  wisdom. He didn't just go about with
• 1:26:02
  favor. He went about with power doing
• 1:26:05
  good and healing all day that were oppressed of the devil.
• 1:26:10
  And chapter 4 and verse 33 and with great power give the
• 1:26:14
  apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus
• 1:26:18
  and great grace was upon them all.
• 1:26:21
  My catch of the three and verse 8.
• 1:26:23
  Surely I am full of power by the spirit Power.
• 1:26:31
  Power to heal Kalikata Pranta Kalakata.
• 1:26:35
  Power to rewrite the destinies of man.
• 1:26:39
  Power to speak and establish possibilities.
• 1:26:43
  Power. The church was built with power.
• 1:26:46
  The church was officially birthed on the day of power, the
• 1:26:51
  day of Pentecost. The Holy Ghost came and
• 1:26:54
  announced the church. Come on now, Kenya, you are not
• 1:26:58
  a weak church businessman. You are not weak.
• 1:27:01
  There is an empowerment that can swallow your frailty.
• 1:27:14
  Hallelujah. We're going to pray, Simon
• 1:27:22
  Bajona, Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you.
• 1:27:28
  Flesh and blood only reveals me as Mary's son.
• 1:27:31
  Flesh and blood only reveals me as Joseph's son.
• 1:27:35
  Flesh and Blood only reveals me as a Nazarene and Nathaniel.
• 1:27:39
  Already made a verdict that can anything good come out of
• 1:27:42
  Nazareth? But if it's by the Holy Ghost,
• 1:27:45
  you will see a revelation more than Jesus as a man.
• 1:27:48
  He came as the Savior, He came as the Lord, He came as Christ.
• 1:27:54
  Now that is not. All that the Church is about.
• 1:27:58
  But that right there, ladies and gentlemen, is the foundation,
• 1:28:01
  the capstone. Listen to me.
• 1:28:06
  Show me any believer, Show me any assembly, show me any
• 1:28:13
  Apostolic community that's taken the time to truly encounter
• 1:28:20
  Jesus as Savior, encounter Jesus as Lord, encounter Jesus as the
• 1:28:27
  Christ and is weak is beggarly. No Sir, No Sir.
• 1:28:33
  The weakness of the church is traceable to the faulty
• 1:28:37
  foundation. We're going to pray so that you
• 1:28:41
  can prepare for the meeting tonight.
• 1:28:44
  When we return back. By the message of God, I will be
• 1:28:48
  showing you something very powerful.
• 1:28:52
  I will be showing you the architecture.
• 1:28:54
  Now that we have gotten the foundation right, Can you
• 1:28:57
  imagine that all we discussed was the foundation, but there is
• 1:29:00
  an architecture. I'll give you a sample.
• 1:29:03
  Every believer is called a living stone.
• 1:29:07
  A living stone that is a description of the kind of
• 1:29:13
  architecture that builds that spiritual house.
• 1:29:16
  We'll discuss that when we come. That Christ is the chief
• 1:29:19
  cornerstone, but that we all are living stones, that we are fit
• 1:29:24
  together to become that spiritual house that can host
• 1:29:28
  the glory of God. But for now, would you lift your
• 1:29:31
  hands as high as it can reach and thank Him for every word you
• 1:29:36
  have received all through this conference and that which you
• 1:29:39
  have received right now? Someone who is grateful, lift
• 1:29:42
  your hands and say thank you. Someone who is grateful.
• 1:29:47
  Someone who has seen that there is a shift in your spiritual
• 1:29:49
  life, a shift over the climate of Kenya?
• 1:29:53
  Go ahead. Shanique prantas caliga pratika
• 1:29:57
  barato siata. One minute.
• 1:29:59
  Kenya is Africa. Are we grateful enough with our
• 1:30:02
  hands lifted to the heavens and our voice speaking at full
• 1:30:06
  strength? Let Him know you are grateful.
• 1:30:10
  Thank you for the cross. Thank you for the cross.
• 1:30:14
  Thank you for Jesus. He came as a propitiation for my
• 1:30:18
  sin, the justifier of many. Thank Him as Lord, the one who
• 1:30:31
  holds absolute power, authority, dominion.
• 1:30:39
  Thank Him as a Messiah, the eternal One who came from the
• 1:30:42
  Father and is transferred that eternal spirit into every
• 1:30:46
  believer, empowering us, causing us to be signs and wonders in
• 1:30:55
  the name of Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus.
• 1:30:59
  Christ, I don't know how we're going to do it this night.
• 1:31:05
  What I want you to call everybody you know in Kenya.
• 1:31:11
  Tell them I'm inviting them personally on behalf of every
• 1:31:14
  servant of God not to miss tonight.
• 1:31:17
  If they are pastors, invite them.
• 1:31:19
  Idol worshippers, invite them friends and family.
• 1:31:23
  If, if there's, if there's no space, we will.
• 1:31:26
  I don't know whether we'll climb a tree or have a miracle.
• 1:31:29
  Reverend Julian, I leave that to you.
• 1:31:31
  God will grant you wisdom. It's your program.
• 1:31:33
  You will know what to do with those who come in here tonight.
• 1:31:36
  But by every means, God must visit Kenya this week in a very
• 1:31:43
  mighty way, in the name of Jesus Christ, Hallelujah.
• 1:31:49
  We came with a sound by the Spirit of God and we're going to
• 1:31:53
  be speaking the purposes of God as I show you that architecture,
• 1:31:57
  everything in your life that does not conform to it be
• 1:32:00
  sickness. Be the yokes.
• 1:32:02
  I tell you, you will wave it goodbye once and for all.
• 1:32:06
  I want to specially encourage pastors, just a moment.
• 1:32:10
  Let me speak to the camera for one minute.
• 1:32:12
  I feel stead in my heart. And please, Reverend Julian,
• 1:32:15
  allow me just for a moment, please let me invite servants of
• 1:32:19
  the living God all across Kenya. Wherever you are, if you can
• 1:32:22
  make your way for this conference, you would want to
• 1:32:25
  listen to what God is saying, particularly over this series.
• 1:32:29
  If you are able to, please adjust your schedules.
• 1:32:32
  Do whatever it is. Let's share faith together.
• 1:32:35
  Let's strengthen ourselves. This is beyond the man of God,
• 1:32:38
  this is beyond Joshua Selman. This is God redefining the
• 1:32:42
  possibilities of East Africa. And so let's work in partnership
• 1:32:47
  with the Spirit of God. Hallelujah, Amen and Amen.
• 1:32:52
  My time is up. Let me have your attention for
• 1:32:55
  one moment. It will be injustice to me and
• 1:33:00
  to you if I end this session teaching you so beautifully
• 1:33:05
  about Jesus as Savior. And do not give someone an
• 1:33:10
  opportunity. There's a crowd of people, 10s
• 1:33:13
  of thousands of people as far as my eyes can see, and the many
• 1:33:17
  more who are following by television and falling online.
• 1:33:20
  But this is really what it's about.
• 1:33:23
  It's always starts with Jesus. The formula is Jesus.
• 1:33:27
  The door is Jesus. The key is Jesus.
• 1:33:31
  The light is Jesus. Therefore, I want to give
• 1:33:34
  someone an opportunity. Now, please listen.
• 1:33:38
  Don't be excessively emotional. This is serious business.
• 1:33:41
  Your eternal destiny depends on it.
• 1:33:45
  I see people outside, even beyond the gates, and I know
• 1:33:48
  that many more are falling online.
• 1:33:51
  Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why we're able to stand today,
• 1:33:55
  serving His grace and His wisdom, His life and His power
• 1:33:57
  to the nation's, is because we came through that door called
• 1:34:01
  Jesus. There is no other name given
• 1:34:05
  unto man, the Bible says, by which we must be saved.
• 1:34:08
  When the Father looked at you, He loved you so much despite and
• 1:34:13
  in spite of all you've done or not done, and he's willing to
• 1:34:16
  give you a chance. Now you have the power to reject
• 1:34:19
  Jesus, like many have, unfortunately, but He's given
• 1:34:22
  you a chance. Perhaps you've been at the
• 1:34:24
  various Ramaphis editions and did not make a conscious
• 1:34:28
  decision for Jesus. And now allow me the honor of
• 1:34:31
  leading you to this One who's changed my life, Who's changing
• 1:34:34
  the nations? The One who came as an
• 1:34:36
  expression of the love of the Father.
• 1:34:38
  Here's what the Bible says about him that he so loved you, he
• 1:34:41
  died for you, and that you believe in Him.
• 1:34:45
  You have the gift of his life. You can start afresh.
• 1:34:48
  You can start again. I know that the front.
• 1:34:50
  Row. Is limited, but we'll try it and
• 1:34:53
  see how far we can go this afternoon.
• 1:34:56
  I want to give someone an opportunity and I'm going to
• 1:34:58
  count one to five. If I were you and you're coming,
• 1:35:01
  you begin to walk so that by the time I begin the counting,
• 1:35:04
  you're already here. To the brother, to the sister,
• 1:35:07
  to the friend, the mother, the father.
• 1:35:09
  Who is saying I need Jesus wherever you are as I count one
• 1:35:13
  to five, run like you are coming to receive an award from the
• 1:35:17
  King of Kings. Come like you are coming to
• 1:35:21
  Jesus. The one who loved you and gave
• 1:35:24
  is everything for you. I begin my counting Kenya.
• 1:35:28
  Let's celebrate the joy of salvation.
• 1:35:30
  One give Jesus, pray. Come young and old.
• 1:35:37
  I see you from a far, but come, come.
• 1:35:41
  He went farther than that to die for you.
• 1:35:43
  Come, my brother and my sister. Come.
• 1:35:47
  Care and dreamers. Please, we present Jesus the
• 1:35:50
  living. We present Jesus the Savior of
• 1:35:54
  your soul. Come regardless what you've done
• 1:35:59
  or not done. He's able to give you a new
• 1:36:02
  beginning. Are you celebrating the harvest?
• 1:36:34
  Many are coming to Jesus. They're able to give you a new
• 1:36:40
  beginning. You can start afresh again.
• 1:36:43
  Come to Jesus.
• 1:37:35
  The. Or.
• 1:37:51
  Give Jesus a big praise. Someone is finally finding
• 1:37:55
  salvation. A man of God in the making is on
• 1:38:00
  his way. The next Billy Graham over Kenya
• 1:38:03
  is on his way. The next entrepreneurs on their
• 1:38:06
  way, finally snatching them from the hands of Satan.
• 1:38:14
  Hallelujah, let me, let me step out here for a moment.
• 1:38:21
  I see many of you crying. Don't be ashamed of your tears.
• 1:38:25
  It is Jesus, the only one who is able to change a man through the
• 1:38:31
  frailty of our speakings, through the frailty of our lips.
• 1:38:36
  For someone you've done all kinds of things, anything you
• 1:38:39
  know to be done, and whilst you were scattered across the 10s of
• 1:38:43
  thousands of people, the Holy Ghost began to speak to you.
• 1:38:47
  That is able to give you a new beginning.
• 1:38:50
  I want to thank you for responding.
• 1:38:52
  I know that the front row is already filled, occupied.
• 1:38:55
  However, there's always room at the cross.
• 1:38:59
  If you're unable to make it to the front, you can stand right
• 1:39:01
  where you are. And let me speak for one moment
• 1:39:03
  to someone who is watching across the televisions in Kenya,
• 1:39:07
  East Africa. You're watching by social media.
• 1:39:12
  It matters that you are founded upon Jesus as Savior, then as
• 1:39:17
  Lord and Christ. To my brothers and my sisters,
• 1:39:20
  thank you for the courage. I saw many of you coming from
• 1:39:23
  the farthest of the Isles, and you made it.
• 1:39:26
  It's proof that you've listened to this gospel, and it's proof
• 1:39:29
  that you love Jesus indeed. Now let me request that you all
• 1:39:35
  lift your hands. Please lift your hands high
• 1:39:38
  above. Now to the ones who are here in
• 1:39:40
  front about to declare the lordship of Jesus over their
• 1:39:43
  lives. Thank you my dear brothers and
• 1:39:45
  my sisters. It's an honor to lead you to
• 1:39:47
  this Jesus, the one who we live for, the one who we serve all
• 1:39:51
  the days of our lives. I want you to say this as loud
• 1:39:53
  and as clear as you can. You're not just reciting a poem.
• 1:39:57
  You're saying that from the depth of your heart.
• 1:39:59
  Self timing, Lord Jesus again say Lord Jesus.
• 1:40:05
  I have heard your word, and I love you with all my heart.
• 1:40:13
  I believe you are the Son of God.
• 1:40:18
  I believe you died for my sin. I believe you rose again for my
• 1:40:26
  justification. And forgiving and I call them
• 1:40:34
  bona fide recipients of your life, the righteousness of God
• 1:40:38
  in Christ Jesus, the grace to live the victorious life I
• 1:40:41
  impart upon you. And I pray for you that from
• 1:40:44
  hence you will live for Jesus, loving him, serving him, living
• 1:40:49
  for him all the days of your life.
• 1:40:50
  Indeed, the power of sin, Satan, hell and the grave is broken
• 1:40:54
  over your life. Welcome to a new season in Jesus
• 1:40:58
  much less name. We pray.
• 1:41:00
  Amen. Now do me a favor, ladies and
• 1:41:03
  gentlemen, there are a number of you and I'll need someone to
• 1:41:08
  direct me from here. I see there's a barricade for
• 1:41:11
  all of you who are here. From where I stand to my right,
• 1:41:14
  that will be your left. You're going to see the
• 1:41:17
  officials waving the placard. Would you do me a favor to move
• 1:41:20
  gently in concert? Don't match on one another.
• 1:41:23
  And they'll have a word with you.
• 1:41:25
  They've been trained to pray for you and to receive your details
• 1:41:28
  so as to follow up with you. May God bless you as you go.
• 1:41:31
  You can begin to move. And then for these precious
• 1:41:34
  people, where do they go to? OK, so the door will be open.
• 1:41:38
  So all of you together in concert, let's honor them as
• 1:41:40
  they go. Go ahead, give them a big God
• 1:41:42
  bless you. Keep clapping on to the last
• 1:41:44
  person. Leaves keep clapping on to the
• 1:41:48
  last person. Leaves.
• 1:41:49
  Come on Kenya, you can do more than this.
• 1:41:52
  Celebrating salvation, many coming to the saving knowledge
• 1:41:58
  of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
• 1:42:03
  Just a quick word. Thank you.
• 1:42:05
  Just a quick word for some of you, for those of you who
• 1:42:09
  surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ online, a QR code has
• 1:42:13
  been projected. You should find that on whatever
• 1:42:15
  platform you're using. Please do well to scan.
• 1:42:18
  Let us know that you've surrendered your heart to Jesus.
• 1:42:21
  You've received of his life, and there are officials who have
• 1:42:23
  been trained to follow up on you.
• 1:42:25
  Please do cooperate with them. Let's know that you've made it
• 1:42:27
  right with Jesus once and for all.
• 1:42:30
  Tonight, hopefully, in the course of our discussion, we'll
• 1:42:33
  have the time to pray for the sick.
• 1:42:36
  And in the name of Jesus, we trust that there will be a river
• 1:42:39
  of healing that flows across Kenya.
• 1:42:41
  We have come to call the devil a liar, and he remains a liar
• 1:42:45
  forever. In the name of Jesus Christ.
• 1:42:48
  I see many of you with phone snapping.
• 1:42:49
  Please can you leave that? And just this way, No time for
• 1:42:52
  selfie or snapping. To my left, to my right, you've
• 1:42:56
  received a gift better than a picture.
• 1:42:58
  This way, everybody. Let's celebrate them as they go,
• 1:43:00
  as you make haste. The Lord bless you in the mighty
• 1:43:03
  and precious name of Jesus. Lift your hands and let me speak
• 1:43:07
  for you. In the name of Jesus for many of
• 1:43:10
  you. Beginning between now and the
• 1:43:12
  evening. I decree and declare you will
• 1:43:15
  return back to this ground as a bundle of testimonies in the
• 1:43:20
  name of Jesus Christ. Let there be shifts in your life
• 1:43:24
  and your family. Let there be supernatural
• 1:43:26
  manifestations in your life and your family.
• 1:43:28
  In the name of Jesus, can we shout a loud Amen?
• 1:43:32
  3 * 1 two go.
