- 2:30Speaker 2: Father, tonight we pray that we will see light in
- 2:34Speaker 2: your light. You are the light of the world, and
- 2:37Speaker 2: you have also called us light. We pray that your
- 2:41Speaker 2: world will come with power tonight transit us to higher dimensions.
- 2:45Speaker 1: In the spirit.
- 2:47Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus Christ, we submit ourselves our
- 2:51Speaker 2: minds to your world, and we contend for transformation tonight.
- 2:56Speaker 2: And to Jesus be all the glory and Amen, God,
- 3:00Speaker 2: bless you, please be seated.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Good evening everyone.
- 3:05Speaker 2: To those here and to those connected across the globe,
- 3:12Speaker 2: you will keep going from strength to strength because you
- 3:16Speaker 2: are here before the Lord. Even in Zion one scripture
- 3:20Speaker 2: very quickly. This scripture was quickened in my heart as
- 3:24Speaker 2: I prayed for tonight's meeting. Philippians, chapter one and verse six.
- 3:28Speaker 2: When God speaks like this, I believe that it is
- 3:31Speaker 2: a prophetic word for someone. It says, being confident of
- 3:35Speaker 2: this very thing, that he which hath begune a good
- 3:39Speaker 2: work in you will perform it until the day of Christ.
- 3:46Speaker 2: I believe that this comes as a prophetic word to
- 3:49Speaker 2: encourage someone to plant in you that seed to stay
- 3:54Speaker 2: and remain, to remain resilient, to remain consistent. The Bible says,
- 3:59Speaker 2: let us not be weary in well doing it. Says,
- 4:02Speaker 2: for we will read not any day, not every day.
- 4:06Speaker 1: In due season.
- 4:07Speaker 2: If we fail not, allelujah, May that be a prophetic
- 4:12Speaker 2: word for you in the name of Jesus, Allelujah. It
- 4:19Speaker 2: matters that we submit ourselves to the word of God.
- 4:23Speaker 2: In Matthew, chapter four and verse four, Jesus speaking to
- 4:27Speaker 2: Satan said, man shall not leave by bread alone. There
- 4:35Speaker 2: is a bread component to man's living, man's survival, man's excelling.
- 4:41Speaker 2: But it says, but by every word that proceeded out
- 4:46Speaker 2: of the mouth of God, by every word. That means
- 4:51Speaker 2: every word that comes out of the mouth of God
- 4:54Speaker 2: is a survival strategy. Every word that comes out of
- 4:59Speaker 2: the mouth of God is a survival strategy.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Do not forget this.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Every word that comes out of the mouth of God
- 5:08Speaker 2: is a survival strategy. You know, I was thinking through
- 5:12Speaker 2: the things that I'll be sharing tonight, and I had
- 5:15Speaker 2: to take a deep breath and just you know, cry
- 5:18Speaker 2: out my heart in prayer that God will help the
- 5:21Speaker 2: coin on your global family first and then the body
- 5:24Speaker 2: of Christ to really understand the reality of the times
- 5:29Speaker 2: that we're living in right now. The times that we're
- 5:32Speaker 2: living in will test everything you know and we will
- 5:36Speaker 2: reveal how much you do not know.
- 5:39Speaker 1: The times that we live in right now will.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Test everything you know, and will go further to reveal
- 5:48Speaker 2: how many things you do not know.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Allelujah. Everything.
- 5:56Speaker 2: The world that we live in today is not the
- 5:58Speaker 2: world that we have ten years ago or twenty years ago.
- 6:02Speaker 2: The Bible tells us the things that characterize the end times.
- 6:06Speaker 2: That knowledge will increase. With that knowledge would come wickedness,
- 6:10Speaker 2: every fabrication of evil that the heart of man can conceive.
- 6:15Speaker 2: And for you to survive these days, not the days coming,
- 6:19Speaker 2: the days we are now in.
- 6:21Speaker 1: You need bread for the journey, but you need the
- 6:26Speaker 1: proceeding word of God.
- 6:29Speaker 2: And God speaks to men by his spirit, but he
- 6:33Speaker 2: speaks to men through men.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Allelujah.
- 6:37Speaker 2: He told Moses, he said, I have seen the affliction
- 6:40Speaker 2: of my people by reason.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Of their taskmasters, and I am calmed down.
- 6:46Speaker 2: And yet we never saw him physically, but we saw
- 6:48Speaker 2: the man, the scent man Moses.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Allelujah. And so every time you are in church.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Don't have the mentality that you're just coming for service,
- 7:01Speaker 2: to honor a religious program or sign a psychological register.
- 7:07Speaker 1: See that God is about to hand you another key that.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Becomes the basis of your fortification, the basis of your
- 7:16Speaker 2: working and living in victory.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Allelujah.
- 7:21Speaker 2: That demands not only your attendance, It demands your wrapped attention,
- 7:26Speaker 2: your undivided attention.
- 7:31Speaker 1: It is in His light that we see light.
- 7:34Speaker 2: But believe me when I tell you that for every believer,
- 7:39Speaker 2: the things that you know will be tested in light
- 7:44Speaker 2: of the days and the times that we're in now.
- 7:47Speaker 2: If you claim you have found the key to living
- 7:50Speaker 2: and working in health, it will be tested. If you
- 7:53Speaker 2: claim you have found the key that puts a man
- 7:56Speaker 2: in victory in spite of the visitudes of life, life
- 8:01Speaker 2: will test it. Some of you are already going through
- 8:04Speaker 2: that school testing everything. If you claim you know God,
- 8:09Speaker 2: life will test it. You claim you love God, life
- 8:15Speaker 2: will test it. You claim you want to serve God
- 8:18Speaker 2: all the days of your life, life will test it.
- 8:22Speaker 2: You claim you love Him in spite of abundance or otherwise,
- 8:25Speaker 2: life will test it.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Allelujah. That means that everything you receive in.
- 8:33Speaker 2: A house like this, you don't just let it pass
- 8:36Speaker 2: through this ear and fly out through the other ear.
- 8:38Speaker 2: The Bible says, ever learning ah and never coming to
- 8:43Speaker 2: the knowledge of the truth. There are such people as
- 8:46Speaker 2: so they are ever learning. Yes, sir, preach, Preacher tell
- 8:50Speaker 2: them and all this, and at the end of it
- 8:53Speaker 2: they go back with absolutely nothing. What did you learn today?
- 8:57Speaker 2: I was a powerful service, my God. What exactly did
- 9:01Speaker 2: you learn? Just believe me and the.
- 9:03Speaker 1: One who knows what I learned? Allelujah.
- 9:13Speaker 2: So it is very important that we understand that every
- 9:18Speaker 2: proceeding word from the Lord to you is meant to
- 9:22Speaker 2: equip you, to transform you, to transit you. I told
- 9:27Speaker 2: you that revelation creates transitions. That every time the word
- 9:32Speaker 2: of God comes to you as ramor as revelation, it
- 9:35Speaker 2: stops you from remaining at that point, stops you from
- 9:39Speaker 2: remaining in that position, or stops you from remaining in
- 9:43Speaker 2: that condition, because the proceeding word is also the sen word,
- 9:49Speaker 2: and the Bible says he sent forth his word, and
- 9:52Speaker 2: his word he led them.
- 9:54Speaker 1: He never said he led all. He let them and
- 9:58Speaker 1: delivered them from all their destructions. So I pray for
- 10:04Speaker 1: you tonight.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Already meet tonight's teaching profit you greatly shouted, believers, Amen, allelujah.
- 10:15Speaker 2: What we teach in this place is the wisdom of God.
- 10:19Speaker 2: It's important for you to appreciate this. What you hear
- 10:23Speaker 2: in Koinonia is not mere information. It's not just mayor
- 10:28Speaker 2: Bible discussion or intellectual discussion. What you hear is called
- 10:33Speaker 2: the wisdom of God, and First Corinthians two and verse seven,
- 10:37Speaker 2: I believe, says it is the wisdom of God that
- 10:40Speaker 2: has been ordained for our glory. There is a kind
- 10:44Speaker 2: of wisdom that was ordained for the glory of the saints.
- 10:48Speaker 2: There is useless information, even if spiritual, because it does
- 10:53Speaker 2: not sustain the power to profit the saints.
- 10:57Speaker 1: In light of real life circumstances.
- 11:00Speaker 2: But there is the wisdom that has been hidden, reserved
- 11:05Speaker 2: for the saints, revealed by the spirit. And the Bible
- 11:10Speaker 2: says there is an ordination upon that wisdom that God has,
- 11:14Speaker 2: through that wisdom, ordained that when we find access to
- 11:18Speaker 2: that wisdom, our lives will be an expression of His glory.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Perhaps I should teach you very quickly that there is
- 11:28Speaker 2: a difference between knowledge, understanding and wisdom.
- 11:34Speaker 1: I think we should start from there tonight.
- 11:36Speaker 2: There is a difference between knowledge, between knowledge understanding and wisdom.
- 11:45Speaker 1: And I'll tell you the difference.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Knowledge is simply a coordinated gathering of information.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Access to information is called knowledge.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Knowledge is very important because that is the foundation of wisdom.
- 12:02Speaker 2: There cannot be wisdom without knowledge. There cannot be understanding
- 12:06Speaker 2: without knowledge. Understanding only finds its value when you have knowledge.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 12:12Speaker 2: The assignment of wisdom is to bring within your The
- 12:15Speaker 2: assignment of knowledge is to bring within your space information
- 12:21Speaker 2: that can be profitable. Please listen, God is building us already.
- 12:26Speaker 2: The assignment of knowledge is to bring to your space,
- 12:30Speaker 2: or to bring to your consciousness. Knowledge that can profit
- 12:35Speaker 2: you doesn't mean it will profit you, but it is
- 12:38Speaker 2: knowledge that can profit you.
- 12:41Speaker 1: You have that now.
- 12:43Speaker 5: Now.
- 12:43Speaker 2: The next step after knowledge is understanding. What is understanding comprehension.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Comprehension the working dynamics, the working dynamics that release the
- 12:57Speaker 2: profit captured.
- 12:58Speaker 1: In that knowledge is called understanding.
- 13:01Speaker 2: So if all you have is the gathering or the
- 13:04Speaker 2: consciousness of an information, you may have knowledge, but you
- 13:07Speaker 2: will have the same destiny as an ignorant person.
- 13:10Speaker 1: And this is what a lot of believers, a lot of.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Believers keep priding and bragging I know, I know, and
- 13:17Speaker 2: yet the results clearly.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Show that we do not know.
- 13:22Speaker 2: So knowledge gives room for understanding comprehension. What do you
- 13:28Speaker 2: comprehend the working dynamics, deriving the principle that connects the.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Dots the information you have now.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Gathered, the principles that release the profit factor in that knowledge.
- 13:46Speaker 2: So knowledge has to do with the gathering, coordinated gathering
- 13:50Speaker 2: of information useful information.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Understanding has to do with.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Comprehension, understanding the principles connected to or the principles that
- 14:02Speaker 2: activate that body of truth you have now found. But
- 14:05Speaker 2: wisdom is very different because wisdom has to do with
- 14:10Speaker 2: engaging the practical aspect of engaging what you understand the
- 14:15Speaker 2: correct application.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 14:18Speaker 2: Now? Wisdom has to do with applying what you have understood,
- 14:22Speaker 2: the knowledge you have now understood.
- 14:25Speaker 1: If you have the.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Grace and intelligence to engage it for your profiting, it
- 14:31Speaker 2: is called wisdom. So when there is no action, it
- 14:35Speaker 2: is not wisdom. You see that, Now, I know that
- 14:40Speaker 2: this is what God wants me to do, all right?
- 14:43Speaker 2: I move past the realm of knowledge to understanding, and
- 14:49Speaker 2: then I understand the dynamics of how to engage it
- 14:52Speaker 2: for my profiting. But I can have knowledge and understanding
- 14:56Speaker 2: and still be barding of results.
- 14:58Speaker 1: It is when I apply with them.
- 15:01Speaker 2: Engaging it, they hurt the world just like we did.
- 15:04Speaker 2: The Bible says, but the world did not profit them.
- 15:08Speaker 2: That means the world had profit in it, but the
- 15:11Speaker 2: world did not profit them.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Why not? Being mixed with faith.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Engaging the world for your profiting is where wisdom comes.
- 15:23Speaker 2: So most people say I have wisdom. What they just
- 15:26Speaker 2: mean is I have a better information than what you have.
- 15:29Speaker 2: That is still not wisdom. The fruit of wisdom is
- 15:33Speaker 2: seen in its ability to impact grace upon you, to
- 15:37Speaker 2: engage the world until it works for you. That is
- 15:41Speaker 2: the reason why wisdom is connected to mighty works. You
- 15:44Speaker 2: see that now when you have wisdom, it is connected
- 15:48Speaker 2: to mighty works. Because the proof that you have wisdom
- 15:52Speaker 2: is that you.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Know what to do and you do it.
- 15:55Speaker 2: It says, now that ye know these things, blessed are
- 15:58Speaker 2: you if you do them? You are not blessed when
- 16:02Speaker 2: you know what scripture is that, now that you know
- 16:05Speaker 2: these things, blessed, happy.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Are you if you do them? Very very important.
- 16:14Speaker 2: There are many believers that know what to do, but
- 16:18Speaker 2: they don't pay attention. Now that you know these things
- 16:22Speaker 2: John thirteen, Yeah, seventeen, thank you if you know these things?
- 16:25Speaker 1: Happy?
- 16:26Speaker 2: In fact, give us an IV. I think it presents
- 16:28Speaker 2: it in a way that it says, now that you
- 16:31Speaker 2: know these things, you will be blessed if you do them,
- 16:35Speaker 2: not if you know them. Now that you know them,
- 16:38Speaker 2: your problem is not a knowledge problem. In fact, it
- 16:41Speaker 2: may not even be an understanding problem. A wisdom problem
- 16:45Speaker 2: is that you have not sustained a grace to engage
- 16:48Speaker 2: consistently until it delivers.
- 16:53Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 16:55Speaker 2: So when Jesus says I will build my church, immediately
- 17:01Speaker 2: you know that that is wisdom personallyfied speaking, because it
- 17:04Speaker 2: is true wisdom.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Anything is built.
- 17:07Speaker 2: When he says I will build my church, it means
- 17:10Speaker 2: you cannot take away the wisdom component.
- 17:13Speaker 1: From the believer's experience.
- 17:15Speaker 2: There is no other way the believer is built if
- 17:18Speaker 2: you take wisdom out of the way.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Allelujah. Are we learning?
- 17:26Speaker 2: So have this at the back of your mind that
- 17:29Speaker 2: the teachings you are receiving, particularly this year, as survival strategies.
- 17:36Speaker 2: They help you to thrive. They help you to survive
- 17:40Speaker 2: and to excel even in this be devil world that
- 17:45Speaker 2: we live in right now. And I'm praying for you
- 17:47Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus, that tonight's teaching will be
- 17:50Speaker 2: no different.
- 17:51Speaker 1: You believe that shout a louder Amen.
- 17:54Speaker 2: Tonight, I'm teaching on a topic that seeks to help
- 17:59Speaker 2: us become better reflections of the Christ. Jesus Christ himself
- 18:06Speaker 2: is a very powerful mystery.
- 18:08Speaker 1: I want to show you.
- 18:09Speaker 2: It will help you if you desire God, if you
- 18:13Speaker 2: desire to be a person of stature spiritually, if you
- 18:16Speaker 2: want your becoming like Christ to be very methodical, than
- 18:20Speaker 2: tonight's teaching is for you. I'm teaching on the spiritual man.
- 18:25Speaker 2: The spiritual man Romance, chapter eight and verse six. The
- 18:30Speaker 2: spiritual man, the Bible says for it, to be canally
- 18:35Speaker 2: minded is death. To be cannally minded is death. But
- 18:42Speaker 2: to be spiritually minded is life and peace. That means
- 18:47Speaker 2: the only way to truly find life and with it
- 18:50Speaker 2: peace is to be spiritually minded. Second Scripture, First Corinthians,
- 18:55Speaker 2: chapter two, will read verse fourteen to sixteen.
- 19:02Speaker 1: Yes Lord, yes, Lord, you are the king. There is
- 19:09Speaker 1: none other.
- 19:11Speaker 6: Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes Lord, yes Lord, yes Lord.
- 19:24Speaker 1: You are the king. There is Lona, yes Lord, yes, Lord,
- 19:34Speaker 1: yes very powerful song. Yes Lord, yes Lord, you are
- 19:44Speaker 1: the King.
- 19:45Speaker 7: There is no other.
- 19:48Speaker 8: Yes Lord, yes.
- 19:53Speaker 7: Yes.
- 19:57Speaker 2: It was in the place of meditation many years ago
- 20:00Speaker 2: that this song came. I remember still remember, like yesterday,
- 20:04Speaker 2: rested my head meditating late into the night, and this
- 20:08Speaker 2: song just came like a stream from heaven into my spirit.
- 20:13Speaker 2: It's a song that acknowledges his lordship that it doesn't
- 20:17Speaker 2: matter what happens in the world of men, he is
- 20:20Speaker 2: still King, He's still Lord, and there.
- 20:23Speaker 1: Is none other.
- 20:26Speaker 2: Many many people can rise and claim to be kings
- 20:28Speaker 2: and gods, but there is only one King.
- 20:31Speaker 9: You believe that, Hall lou le Lou, hally lou, you
- 20:46Speaker 9: are God, hally hally hally bah.
- 21:02Speaker 5: You are the.
- 21:06Speaker 1: Yes Lord, Yes Lord, you are the King.
- 21:11Speaker 10: There is not a yes Lord, Yes Lord, Yes Lord,
- 21:22Speaker 10: Yes Lord, Yes Lord, you are the key.
- 21:27Speaker 2: There is not.
- 21:29Speaker 5: Yes Lord.
- 21:32Speaker 7: Lord.
- 21:38Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Not every believer can be a reflection of the glory
- 21:46Speaker 2: of the christ inexperience God intends for everyone. It's in
- 21:51Speaker 2: our prophetic destiny corporately as believers, to step into this
- 21:57Speaker 2: realm and this dimension in the spirit, where our lives
- 22:01Speaker 2: become a worthy capture. The Bible tells us that the
- 22:05Speaker 2: life we have received is abondance, life, life to its fullest.
- 22:10Speaker 2: But you and I will never be able to come
- 22:12Speaker 2: into the experience of being reflections of the Christ experientially.
- 22:20Speaker 2: And the reason is because not every believer is able
- 22:25Speaker 2: to capture and host the fullness of Christ in experience.
- 22:31Speaker 1: Being a believer is profitable.
- 22:34Speaker 2: But just because you have become a believer does not mean,
- 22:38Speaker 2: please listen carefully that your Christian experience will be a
- 22:42Speaker 2: perfect representation of God's intention. The same way a student
- 22:47Speaker 2: gets admission into college or any school at all, any institution,
- 22:51Speaker 2: just because the student has his admission letter bonner fide
- 22:55Speaker 2: admission letter does not make the person a doctor, or
- 22:59Speaker 2: an engineer or an architect.
- 23:01Speaker 1: Are we together? Now the person is.
- 23:03Speaker 2: In school, the admission letter is there valid in fact,
- 23:09Speaker 2: But the moment the person is admitted, are we together?
- 23:12Speaker 2: The transition in knowledge from one department, one faculty, one
- 23:17Speaker 2: school of thought to the other until the curriculum allotted
- 23:22Speaker 2: to award that degree is exhausted by that person. This
- 23:25Speaker 2: is how it is spiritually. So there are many believers
- 23:28Speaker 2: who are saved, and the only reason why you believe
- 23:32Speaker 2: they are saved was because you saw them when they
- 23:35Speaker 2: were making the out call.
- 23:36Speaker 1: Else there is.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Nothing captured in the faith work that justifies that they
- 23:44Speaker 2: actually encountered Christ, it ought not to be. So it
- 23:48Speaker 2: is possible that you can be genuinely saved, but everything
- 23:52Speaker 2: around your life speaks otherwise, to a point that people
- 23:55Speaker 2: put doubt your salvation and say, I'm not sure you
- 23:58Speaker 2: have encountered the Christ. And the reason is because most
- 24:01Speaker 2: believers sadly have been taught that all dear is to
- 24:05Speaker 2: the believers experience is to get saved. And I've taught
- 24:10Speaker 2: you here that that is only the initial step. That
- 24:14Speaker 2: just because you have received the life of God does
- 24:18Speaker 2: not mean you are manifesting the Christ or reflecting that life.
- 24:21Speaker 2: In Galatians, chapter four and verse nineteen, Paul the Apostle
- 24:25Speaker 2: was speaking to believers.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Who were already saved.
- 24:30Speaker 2: These were believers he was mentoring, and yes, what he
- 24:33Speaker 2: told them, my little children, he said, of whom I
- 24:37Speaker 2: travel in birth again until Christ be formed in you.
- 24:45Speaker 2: He's speaking to people who already received eternal life, and
- 24:49Speaker 2: now he's talking about another.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Reality, the formation of Christ.
- 24:54Speaker 2: He's saying, I am like a woman in labor, a
- 24:57Speaker 2: woman who is about to give birth, and all the constraints.
- 25:00Speaker 2: He's saying, this is how much I constrain myself with
- 25:03Speaker 2: one desire to see the Christ formed in you. That
- 25:08Speaker 2: means something happens to a believer who is not led
- 25:13Speaker 2: through the path that leads to the formation of Christ.
- 25:16Speaker 2: As you'll be learning tonight. The quality of the believer
- 25:23Speaker 2: eventually means faith work is not just dependent on the
- 25:27Speaker 2: truthfulness of his new birth experience, but the degree to
- 25:31Speaker 2: which Christ is formed in that person. And the Bible
- 25:35Speaker 2: identifies three kinds of believers. I want you to work
- 25:38Speaker 2: carefully now with me. Three kinds of believers. Number one,
- 25:45Speaker 2: the Bible lets us know that there is what we
- 25:48Speaker 2: call a natural man, first and foremost, that one is
- 25:53Speaker 2: not even a believer. In fact, let me put it
- 25:55Speaker 2: this way, there are three kinds of men from his
- 25:59Speaker 2: spiritual point. So men are categorized in three. There is
- 26:05Speaker 2: number one, the natural man. Say after me the natural man.
- 26:10Speaker 2: Don't assume you understand what I'm saying. Say after time
- 26:12Speaker 2: me the natural man.
- 26:15Speaker 1: Right.
- 26:16Speaker 2: So the Bible tells us that there is such a
- 26:18Speaker 2: man as the natural man in Romance chapter eight, please
- 26:26Speaker 2: give it to us.
- 26:26Speaker 1: From there is the canal man.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Let me just list all three, and then I begin
- 26:35Speaker 2: to deal with them and get them.
- 26:36Speaker 1: Out of the way.
- 26:37Speaker 2: So there is the natural man and there is the
- 26:40Speaker 2: canal man. Everyone say the canal man. One more time,
- 26:43Speaker 2: say the canal man. And then the third kind of
- 26:47Speaker 2: man is called the spiritual man. Now you give us
- 26:50Speaker 2: Romance chapter eight. Please six to eight. We read verse six.
- 26:54Speaker 2: Now we read down to eight. For to be cannally minded,
- 26:57Speaker 2: he says, it's death. But to be spiritually minded is
- 27:00Speaker 2: life and peace. Verse seven it says, because the canal
- 27:04Speaker 2: mind is enmity against God. You see that now, for
- 27:08Speaker 2: it is not subject. It tells you why that mind
- 27:11Speaker 2: is kindel we're coming there, that it is not subject
- 27:14Speaker 2: to the law of God.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Neither indeed can it be.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Verse eight it says, so that they that are in
- 27:21Speaker 2: the flesh and not that description for being canally minded
- 27:24Speaker 2: cannot not that they don't want to, that they cannot
- 27:28Speaker 2: please God in that state.
- 27:32Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 27:34Speaker 2: First Corinthians Chapter two, verse fourteen. We read that scripture
- 27:38Speaker 2: earlier on. But the natural man, everybody said the natural man.
- 27:43Speaker 2: So there is such a man as the natural man,
- 27:47Speaker 2: And the.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Bible says, what.
- 27:48Speaker 2: Makes that man natural is that he's not regenerated.
- 27:52Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 27:53Speaker 2: Is an unsafe person is a spiritual language to mean
- 27:57Speaker 2: the man that has not encountered he has not gone
- 28:01Speaker 2: through what we call the new breath experience.
- 28:04Speaker 1: That man may be a nice man, he may.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Be someone who is societally accepted as a good man.
- 28:11Speaker 2: But the moment you have not come into Christ by
- 28:14Speaker 2: receiving the life of Christ, the Bible calls you a
- 28:18Speaker 2: natural man and is saying, no matter how good such
- 28:21Speaker 2: a man is, there is a deficiency that he does
- 28:24Speaker 2: not have the faculty of receiving the things of the
- 28:28Speaker 2: Spirit of God.
- 28:29Speaker 1: You know why, for their are foolishness to him. Neither
- 28:34Speaker 1: can he know them.
- 28:35Speaker 2: Because spiritual things must be spiritually discerned. So there are
- 28:41Speaker 2: many good people, for instance, who will listen to a
- 28:44Speaker 2: good sermon, perhaps such as I'm preaching now, and as
- 28:50Speaker 2: much as they appreciate the teaching, it doesn't make any sense.
- 28:54Speaker 2: You know why, because when it has to do with
- 28:57Speaker 2: the business of spirit living, it is not just something
- 29:01Speaker 2: that is hinged and stops.
- 29:03Speaker 1: At the realm of intellect.
- 29:06Speaker 2: There is an engineering that the Holy Spirit, the life
- 29:10Speaker 2: of God does to an individual that gives you the
- 29:13Speaker 2: faculty to both persive, appreciate and believe spiritual things. And
- 29:19Speaker 2: if you are a natural man, you are not safe
- 29:22Speaker 2: I can tell you. You can sit down and wonder
- 29:25Speaker 2: why are people crying? Why are people rolling in worship?
- 29:29Speaker 1: For instance?
- 29:29Speaker 2: Why are people quoting scripture and speaking them? It does
- 29:33Speaker 2: not make sense. The end point for a natural man
- 29:36Speaker 2: is you become critical, You become angry, you become offended,
- 29:41Speaker 2: because spiritual things don't make sense to such a man.
- 29:47Speaker 2: You will find problems with almost everything in the Bible.
- 29:51Speaker 2: And the reason is because you are only looking at
- 29:53Speaker 2: it as a piece of literature or an archeological material
- 29:57Speaker 2: like you are being taught, or a historic material. The life,
- 30:01Speaker 2: the spirit component within it cannot profit you. You will
- 30:05Speaker 2: read scriptures like there is here that scatteract and yet
- 30:08Speaker 2: increase it. There is here that with all that, and
- 30:11Speaker 2: it tends to penury. It won't make any sense to you.
- 30:14Speaker 1: You would read.
- 30:14Speaker 2: Scriptures like you know, anyone who calls upon the name
- 30:18Speaker 2: of the Lord shall be saved. And it doesn't make sense.
- 30:20Speaker 2: How do you call upon the name of it God?
- 30:22Speaker 2: You do not see, and then you are saved. The
- 30:26Speaker 2: natural man. Our world is full of many natural men.
- 30:30Speaker 2: Some of them are good men, quite honestly, and yet
- 30:33Speaker 2: they are natural men. The destiny of the natural man,
- 30:37Speaker 2: the man without Christ is eternal doom. Let me press
- 30:41Speaker 2: that again, the destiny of the natural man, the man
- 30:44Speaker 2: without Christ, based on the authority of Scripture, is eternal damnation,
- 30:50Speaker 2: in spite of the good works, in spite of the
- 30:53Speaker 2: sincere heart.
- 30:55Speaker 1: It is the reason why Jesus watch this now.
- 30:58Speaker 2: Jesus came and made way through his death, his burial.
- 31:04Speaker 1: His resurrection, his ascension.
- 31:06Speaker 2: He opened up that way that everyone who is not
- 31:10Speaker 2: in Christ can now find his way through what we
- 31:14Speaker 2: call the.
- 31:14Speaker 1: New Bath experience.
- 31:17Speaker 2: The Bible says that if you confess with your mouth
- 31:20Speaker 2: the Lord Jesus, and you believe that God raised.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Him from the dead.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Romance, Chapter ten, from verse eight to ten, he says
- 31:28Speaker 2: thou shalt be saved, for with the mouth. The Bible
- 31:31Speaker 2: says that confession is made onto salvation. With the heart
- 31:36Speaker 2: man believes, and with the mouth confession is made onto salvation.
- 31:40Speaker 2: Let me pass here for a minute and announce again
- 31:42Speaker 2: to our world. Truly a day is going to come
- 31:46Speaker 2: upon the earth where those who are not in Christ
- 31:50Speaker 2: will be doomed for eternal damnation.
- 31:53Speaker 1: We can argue this. We can create a lot of philosophies.
- 31:57Speaker 2: There many intelligent dissertations, debate that have spanned through centuries
- 32:03Speaker 2: debunking this reality. But let God be true and every
- 32:07Speaker 2: man a liar. It is going to happen one day
- 32:11Speaker 2: upon the earth that all those who had a chance
- 32:15Speaker 2: to hear the gospel. It is the reason why we
- 32:18Speaker 2: continue to frontier the course of the kingdom, helping people
- 32:21Speaker 2: understand that Jesus has come as savior as an expression
- 32:26Speaker 2: of the love of God to them.
- 32:28Speaker 1: The only solution to.
- 32:30Speaker 2: Man states that he is not even aware of it, says,
- 32:34Speaker 2: for all have seen, how many, all aware or otherwise,
- 32:39Speaker 2: all have seen and fallen shot of the glory of God.
- 32:43Speaker 2: But Jesus has come as a mediator. He didn't just
- 32:48Speaker 2: come to inform us. He actually died. The Bible says,
- 32:52Speaker 2: so he died. This is the gospel. I just felt
- 32:59Speaker 2: burdened to just press it so that we don't just
- 33:02Speaker 2: brush through the idea of a natural man. Something is
- 33:05Speaker 2: wrong with such a man spiritually speaking, something may not
- 33:09Speaker 2: be wrong with such a man. Financially speaking, something may
- 33:13Speaker 2: not be wrong with such a man intellectually speaking.
- 33:16Speaker 1: When you look at the natural man, just from.
- 33:19Speaker 2: The eyes of a natural man, too, you can see
- 33:22Speaker 2: an excellent man, maybe an excellent father, maybe a well
- 33:26Speaker 2: intentioned mother, maybe an intellectually fast individual. But we are
- 33:31Speaker 2: looking from the lens of the spirit that anyone who
- 33:34Speaker 2: is not in Christ is not saved. He is not
- 33:37Speaker 2: safe because there is damnation that awaits all men. The
- 33:41Speaker 2: only remedy is Jesus Christ. This is not a religious idea,
- 33:46Speaker 2: this is truth. One day all men will be forced
- 33:49Speaker 2: to acknowledge the fact that.
- 33:51Speaker 1: Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords.
- 33:53Speaker 2: Indeed, it is the reason why we spend ourselves our lives,
- 33:59Speaker 2: and we depend to help the nations who see that
- 34:02Speaker 2: there is a way out. This is not a ministry assignment.
- 34:06Speaker 2: This is not a religious fanatic assignment. It is a
- 34:10Speaker 2: matter of urgency. I told you the greatest need of
- 34:13Speaker 2: an unbeliever, it's not accommodation. The greatest need of an
- 34:18Speaker 2: unbeliever is not education. The greatest need of an unbeliever
- 34:22Speaker 2: it's not even solving their hunger problem. At the moment,
- 34:25Speaker 2: all those are profitable. But the greatest need of an
- 34:28Speaker 2: unbeliever is introducing him to Jesus and praying that he
- 34:32Speaker 2: or she, out of their will, will accept this substitutionary sacrifice.
- 34:39Speaker 1: He who is the son has eternal life. He who
- 34:47Speaker 1: is the son has it turnal life. Only he who
- 34:54Speaker 1: is the son has it life. I have the son,
- 35:03Speaker 1: so I have it. You see that. So there is
- 35:10Speaker 1: such a man called the natural man.
- 35:13Speaker 2: He can be the natural man as a distinguished professor,
- 35:18Speaker 2: the natural man as an intellectual, the natural man as
- 35:22Speaker 2: a successful career person, the natural man as a mentor
- 35:26Speaker 2: to heads of state and heads of government, a natural
- 35:30Speaker 2: man as a millionaire and a millionaire, a natural man.
- 35:33Speaker 1: As an inventor. That is true.
- 35:37Speaker 2: But from a spiritual standpoint, any man that is not without,
- 35:43Speaker 2: that is without the Christ or regenerate, is called the
- 35:48Speaker 2: natural man.
- 35:50Speaker 1: It is not an insult.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Is the description of a spiritual state that is in
- 35:56Speaker 2: need of urgent attention. Now, for those of you who
- 36:01Speaker 2: have been involved in any kind of charity or humanitarian work,
- 36:04Speaker 2: when you go to places that are really impoverished, the
- 36:08Speaker 2: health standards really low, below average, did you know that
- 36:12Speaker 2: sometimes you can see the little children running around, no shoes,
- 36:15Speaker 2: no shirts, playing football around, and you see all kinds
- 36:19Speaker 2: of sicknesses maybe source maybe you know, ezema or something
- 36:24Speaker 2: on the children.
- 36:25Speaker 1: They are not even aware they are sick. Are we together?
- 36:28Speaker 1: Because that level of.
- 36:29Speaker 2: Life does not even afford them the privilege of awareness.
- 36:33Speaker 2: It is when the doctors or the medical people, the
- 36:36Speaker 2: missionaries coming as soon as you look at the children
- 36:39Speaker 2: some of those children have. They are sick to a
- 36:42Speaker 2: point they are almost dying. They are not even aware.
- 36:45Speaker 2: That is how the natural man is. The natural man
- 36:49Speaker 2: is not even aware of his spiritual state.
- 36:53Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 36:54Speaker 2: Yes, So when you who is in Christ and have
- 36:58Speaker 2: been given this mandate of world evangelization, when you meet
- 37:02Speaker 2: such a man, you look at that man from the
- 37:05Speaker 2: lens of this description that I just gave you, like
- 37:08Speaker 2: a compassionate humanitarian person looking at a small child malnourished.
- 37:14Speaker 1: The child does not know what is the cause of
- 37:16Speaker 1: this lack of.
- 37:16Speaker 2: Energy, draining even onto death. Sometimes they administer, you know,
- 37:22Speaker 2: medical treatment to the child immediately because the child is
- 37:28Speaker 2: not even aware that he's just hours left. Listen, if
- 37:33Speaker 2: you begin to look at the world of unbelievers that way,
- 37:36Speaker 2: my life changed when I found a new name for
- 37:39Speaker 2: own believers. I don't call them sinners. I don't call
- 37:42Speaker 2: them own believers. Something happens to you when you call
- 37:45Speaker 2: sinners sinners. It puts you in a state of self righteousness,
- 37:49Speaker 2: and you cannot win them. Jesus calls sinners harvest. The
- 37:55Speaker 2: moment you change that name, it changes your orientation because
- 37:59Speaker 2: in the mind of God, every unbelieving person is ripe
- 38:03Speaker 2: for harvest, so he calls them the harvest. I did
- 38:08Speaker 2: a teaching on that you can get you can go
- 38:10Speaker 2: to Colonial Global was one of the teachings that we
- 38:13Speaker 2: had in UK.
- 38:15Speaker 1: The harvest is very important.
- 38:18Speaker 2: So when you see a smoker fro by that you
- 38:21Speaker 2: are seeing a smoker, or a prostitute or some what
- 38:26Speaker 2: they call it, some occultic person. What will come out
- 38:30Speaker 2: from you to them is resentment, not compassion. But the
- 38:33Speaker 2: moment you see them as a harvest, then you see
- 38:36Speaker 2: them from the lens of Jesus like a sheep without.
- 38:39Speaker 1: Shep Everyone said the natural man in the midst of the.
- 38:48Speaker 2: Thousands of people gathered here in this auditorium, man all across,
- 38:51Speaker 2: and the many who are following, I can tell you
- 38:54Speaker 2: by the integrity of Scripture, there are natural men hearing me. Now,
- 38:58Speaker 2: there are natural men listening to me.
- 39:00Speaker 11: Now.
- 39:01Speaker 2: Well intentioned people they came to church, were gladly invited,
- 39:06Speaker 2: knowing that there is something missing in my life.
- 39:09Speaker 1: You are right, it's a natural man.
- 39:12Speaker 2: But the good news is that the possibility of transition
- 39:15Speaker 2: still exists, that a natural man can leave that state.
- 39:18Speaker 2: And I am praying for you in the name of Jesus,
- 39:20Speaker 2: that you will not return back home as a natural man.
- 39:24Speaker 2: That if there is anybody here who is not saved
- 39:27Speaker 2: when it is time for the altar call, don't let
- 39:30Speaker 2: the devil deceive you, distract.
- 39:32Speaker 1: You, and make you feel I think I'm ashamed. I
- 39:34Speaker 1: think I'm afraid.
- 39:35Speaker 2: The natural man has the eternal destiny of damnation.
- 39:41Speaker 1: It's true. I saw the great and small stand before
- 39:47Speaker 1: the Lord.
- 39:48Speaker 2: The Bible says, books were opened, and another book was opened,
- 39:54Speaker 2: and whose fast name was not found in the Book
- 39:56Speaker 2: of Life, was cast into the lake of fire that
- 40:00Speaker 2: burned with brimstone and sul for.
- 40:03Speaker 1: The Bible called it the Second Death.
- 40:07Speaker 2: I want you to know that this whole thing about
- 40:11Speaker 2: the eternal destiny of believers is not a church concept.
- 40:16Speaker 2: It's not a Pentecostal concept. It's not a charismatic concept,
- 40:21Speaker 2: it's not an evangelistic concept. In fact, it is not
- 40:24Speaker 2: even a Christian concept. It is a matter of your
- 40:29Speaker 2: destiny before now that your destiny.
- 40:33Speaker 1: Watched this now you came from somewhere. I hope you
- 40:36Speaker 1: know you did not just appear.
- 40:38Speaker 2: Yes, And the one who was there before time began
- 40:46Speaker 2: is the one who is making a way for you
- 40:48Speaker 2: now to sort your eternal destiny. The destiny of everyone
- 40:53Speaker 2: without Christ, when our time here on earth is up,
- 40:56Speaker 2: is eternal damnation. When He, the Spirit of Truth comes
- 41:02Speaker 2: to the natural man, he will reprove the world of sin,
- 41:06Speaker 2: of righteousness, and of judgment.
- 41:08Speaker 1: Are we together? He will let you know that you
- 41:11Speaker 1: don't need to be this way again, that.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Jesus Christ has come as an expression of the love
- 41:16Speaker 2: of the Father. Number two, let's hurry up. The second
- 41:21Speaker 2: kind of man that the Bible identifies.
- 41:24Speaker 1: Is one who is now saved.
- 41:27Speaker 2: Watch this now saved but not transformed, Saved but not
- 41:33Speaker 2: under submission to the world of God. Saved but not
- 41:37Speaker 2: under submission to the lordship of the Holy Spirit. A
- 41:41Speaker 2: man that is driven by his senses. The Bible calls
- 41:44Speaker 2: this man the canal man. So write that word down,
- 41:48Speaker 2: please the canal man. This is the second kind of
- 41:51Speaker 2: man that we have. The canal man is actually a believer.
- 41:56Speaker 2: He is one who is saved already, but something is
- 42:00Speaker 2: still wrong with that person. The administration of eternal life
- 42:04Speaker 2: in the experience has not been furnished in social man.
- 42:08Speaker 2: Please listen carefully. A canal man is not necessarily an unbeliever.
- 42:13Speaker 2: He's one who has answered the altar call truly from
- 42:17Speaker 2: a spirit standpoint, he has received the life of Jesus
- 42:20Speaker 2: away together, but the outworkings of that life has not
- 42:24Speaker 2: found the expression in his life. And there are few
- 42:26Speaker 2: things that characterize the life of a canal man. Number
- 42:29Speaker 2: one is the absence of transformation by the world. The
- 42:33Speaker 2: first way you know a canal man is the absence
- 42:37Speaker 2: of transformation by the world of God. Don't forget this,
- 42:41Speaker 2: the absence of transformation by the word of God. He
- 42:44Speaker 2: has not sustained what the Bible calls the mind of Christ.
- 42:48Speaker 2: He is not spiritually minded. The canal man has a mindset.
- 42:55Speaker 2: In fact, what principally defines canality is mindset Romans eight six.
- 43:02Speaker 2: To be cannally minded, we read that earlier on his death.
- 43:06Speaker 2: To be cannally minded, a canal person is one who
- 43:10Speaker 2: has a canal mindset. But to be spiritually minded is
- 43:15Speaker 2: life and peace. Such a person is still alive to
- 43:21Speaker 2: self and the desires of the flesh.
- 43:23Speaker 1: Write that down.
- 43:25Speaker 2: Such a person is still alive to self. I have
- 43:28Speaker 2: taught you that there are two things that you deal
- 43:31Speaker 2: with as you sojourn this part of faith. Number one
- 43:34Speaker 2: is a sin problem. Number two is a flesh problem.
- 43:39Speaker 2: For the sin problem, you deal with it the moment
- 43:42Speaker 2: you receive the life of God. You are declared righteous.
- 43:45Speaker 2: You receive an imputation of the righteousness of God in Christ,
- 43:49Speaker 2: and that nature of sin completely dies and is out
- 43:51Speaker 2: of your life. But as a believer, there is still
- 43:54Speaker 2: something else to deal with. It is called the flesh,
- 43:57Speaker 2: and for that one you don't cast it out. With
- 44:00Speaker 2: one salvation prayer. The sin problem is done, but the
- 44:04Speaker 2: problem of the flesh can live with you all the
- 44:07Speaker 2: days of your life.
- 44:08Speaker 1: Even as a Christian.
- 44:09Speaker 2: Paul says, as touching the matters of the flesh, he says,
- 44:13Speaker 2: I die daily, I die daily. Two, he says, I
- 44:18Speaker 2: put my flesh on that subjection. There is an active
- 44:22Speaker 2: participation on my own part to keep my flesh at bay.
- 44:27Speaker 2: Many believers do not understand this, and once people are
- 44:30Speaker 2: born Againe, they just believe that because the sin problem
- 44:34Speaker 2: is solved, it means I'm all right. No, listen to
- 44:37Speaker 2: what Paul said, Paul the Apostle. When you read Romance
- 44:40Speaker 2: chapter eight, verse I mean chapter seven. Paul began to
- 44:44Speaker 2: vent out his own frustration. He says, listen, there are
- 44:48Speaker 2: two laws that are working in my members. Are we together?
- 44:52Speaker 2: One is the law of sin and death. The other
- 44:53Speaker 2: is the love of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus.
- 44:56Speaker 2: So that the things I do not want to do,
- 44:59Speaker 2: this is Paul speaking, I find myself doing them. The
- 45:03Speaker 2: things that I want to do, I do not find
- 45:05Speaker 2: myself doing them. He was frustrated, and he said, all
- 45:08Speaker 2: redched man that I am, who shall deliver me from
- 45:11Speaker 2: this body of death? Paul was frustrated. This was not
- 45:19Speaker 2: a statement of encouragement, all redched man that I am.
- 45:22Speaker 2: Why is it that I find myself? Is like, I'm
- 45:25Speaker 2: not that software that has possessed me, controlling me to
- 45:29Speaker 2: do the things that I don't want to do, and
- 45:32Speaker 2: the things that I want to do, I don't find
- 45:34Speaker 2: myself doing it. And he said, who shall deliver me?
- 45:37Speaker 2: Even though saved from this body of death? Said the
- 45:40Speaker 2: canal man, I submit to you by the authority of
- 45:44Speaker 2: Scripture that a large percentage of believers are still domiciled
- 45:49Speaker 2: in this realm. Unfortunately for many, hopelessly so, because the education,
- 45:58Speaker 2: the enlightenment, the mentorship, the system of transition that graduates
- 46:02Speaker 2: you to become spiritual in experience, most people may never
- 46:07Speaker 2: have access to it. So you can be saved for
- 46:11Speaker 2: thirty years and only transit from a natural man to
- 46:15Speaker 2: become a canal man, and remain there and keep questioning
- 46:21Speaker 2: your spiritual life, keep questioning your salvation, because after ten
- 46:26Speaker 2: fifteen years you cannot see the value of growth. Nothing
- 46:30Speaker 2: in your life just defies knowing God, loving God, serving God,
- 46:35Speaker 2: living for God. You look at your life and you
- 46:37Speaker 2: look at unbelievers, and everything.
- 46:39Speaker 1: Is the same. The canal man.
- 46:45Speaker 2: He still speaks like he used to speak, He still
- 46:48Speaker 2: acts like he used to act.
- 46:49Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 46:50Speaker 2: Your impulses are fleshly sensual that many times people have
- 46:56Speaker 2: to remind you and say, are you not a man
- 46:58Speaker 2: of God? Are you not a pastor? Are you not
- 47:01Speaker 2: a member of so and so?
- 47:02Speaker 1: I don't mind me.
- 47:04Speaker 2: These are the kind of people that one day will say, listen,
- 47:06Speaker 2: let me tell you. Don't think because I'm saved, I
- 47:08Speaker 2: will remove my clothing and beats the living daylight out
- 47:11Speaker 2: of you. Have you heard people speak like that and
- 47:15Speaker 2: then others who say this is my church mind, this
- 47:20Speaker 2: is my word. I means there is another one, and
- 47:23Speaker 2: they are right, truly, there is another one.
- 47:33Speaker 1: What is the danger of canality? I will tell you.
- 47:36Speaker 2: The danger of canality is that your life becomes a
- 47:40Speaker 2: consistent misrepresentation of the image of Christ.
- 47:45Speaker 1: Your life becomes.
- 47:46Speaker 2: A consistent misrepresentation of the image of Christ because you
- 47:51Speaker 2: are carrying a title that cannot be defended by your life.
- 47:56Speaker 2: You are carrying the title believer, the title Christian, but
- 47:59Speaker 2: it can not be defended, so your life.
- 48:02Speaker 1: If people are going to learn God through.
- 48:04Speaker 2: The lens of your life, you become a consistent misrepresentation.
- 48:14Speaker 1: Are we learning Number two?
- 48:18Speaker 2: What is the consequence of being and remaining Canal? Your
- 48:23Speaker 2: experience in terms of results and that of the own
- 48:26Speaker 2: believer will not be different. Your experience in terms of
- 48:31Speaker 2: your journey, your possibilities, and your limitations will be almost
- 48:36Speaker 2: exactly the same. The profit of your being saved cannot
- 48:41Speaker 2: be demonstrated in your life as a Canal believer.
- 48:44Speaker 1: This is a very serious thing for many people.
- 48:46Speaker 2: This is the explanation behind the frustration of many Christians.
- 48:52Speaker 1: I am saved. Now why is my life still like this?
- 48:56Speaker 2: I will tell you why, because you have not allowed
- 48:59Speaker 2: the spirit of God to transit you. The potential of
- 49:04Speaker 2: this life we have received is only seen clearest when
- 49:08Speaker 2: it is viewed through the lens of spiritual people. To
- 49:13Speaker 2: be canally minded, and the Bible lets us know that
- 49:20Speaker 2: one who is canal is still a baby.
- 49:24Speaker 1: Are we together? Let me show you a scripture.
- 49:26Speaker 2: I hope God is speaking to someone First Corinthians, chapter
- 49:29Speaker 2: three one to four. First Corinthians three one to four.
- 49:34Speaker 2: And I, brethren, please write and let me have your attention.
- 49:38Speaker 2: I could not speak to you as onto spiritual my God.
- 49:42Speaker 2: That means police teaching us upfront that there is a
- 49:46Speaker 2: way you speak to spiritual people, and there is a
- 49:49Speaker 2: way you speak to canal people.
- 49:51Speaker 1: Are you seeing that now?
- 49:52Speaker 2: Yes, it's the reason why there are many believers who
- 49:55Speaker 2: cannot understand many things that are taught because they are
- 49:58Speaker 2: still canally minded.
- 50:00Speaker 1: And even though they may.
- 50:01Speaker 2: Laugh and carry all the gestures of knowledge and assimilation,
- 50:04Speaker 2: the truth is they are not understanding what has been said.
- 50:07Speaker 2: Because there are certain discussions that you really have to
- 50:10Speaker 2: be spiritual to understand. But to the discussion. And I, brethren,
- 50:17Speaker 2: I could not speak onto you as onto spiritual, but
- 50:21Speaker 2: as onto canal now what carefully? Even as up to babes?
- 50:25Speaker 2: Help me the last two words in Christ one more
- 50:28Speaker 2: time there is such description of a believer as a
- 50:32Speaker 2: babe in Christ. You are a child even though you
- 50:36Speaker 2: are in Christ. He's not speaking to people who are
- 50:38Speaker 2: outside Christ. They are in Christ, but he's saying you
- 50:42Speaker 2: are still children.
- 50:43Speaker 1: Verse two. I have fed you with milk like a
- 50:49Speaker 1: mother feeds a baby milk.
- 50:51Speaker 2: Here is talking about elementary levels of spiritual knowledge, and
- 50:55Speaker 2: not with meat.
- 50:57Speaker 1: For hither or you were not able to bear them,
- 51:02Speaker 1: neither ye now are able.
- 51:05Speaker 2: Paulice expression is frustration. He said, I've come here many
- 51:08Speaker 2: times and there are waitier things to teach you in
- 51:11Speaker 2: the spirit. But every time I meet you and I
- 51:13Speaker 2: examine you. That means there is a system for examining
- 51:17Speaker 2: the state of a believer. You can know that this
- 51:20Speaker 2: believer is seen a child. Paulie is saying, this is
- 51:23Speaker 2: a lesson for men of God. When you go to
- 51:25Speaker 2: minister to people, gauge trying to gauge the spiritual state
- 51:30Speaker 2: of the people so you don't waste your time discussing
- 51:33Speaker 2: things that will fall on death. Ears give us that scripture.
- 51:39Speaker 2: I was not able to teach you. I just had
- 51:42Speaker 2: to feed you with milk and not meet. For hitherto
- 51:46Speaker 2: you were not able to git neither can you path?
- 51:49Speaker 1: Now? What is the proof of canality? Verse four? Now, okay, well,
- 51:55Speaker 1: let's go to verse three.
- 51:57Speaker 2: Verse three, it says, for ye, I yet canal, for
- 52:02Speaker 2: whereas there is among you, now see all the elements
- 52:05Speaker 2: of the flesh. He's talking to Christians. Envyings and strife
- 52:11Speaker 2: and divisions. Are you not canal and work as men?
- 52:16Speaker 2: He's dealing with the issue of canal Christians. Now, if
- 52:18Speaker 2: you look at verse four to end this scripture, it says,
- 52:22Speaker 2: for a while one said I am for Paul, another
- 52:24Speaker 2: I am for Apollos. It means that you are still
- 52:27Speaker 2: at the realm of men your mindset.
- 52:29Speaker 1: You are not yet.
- 52:30Speaker 2: Kingdom minded, You are not heavenly minded. You are still
- 52:33Speaker 2: men pleasers. These are still elements of the flesh finding
- 52:37Speaker 2: expression in you.
- 52:39Speaker 1: Are you seeing that now?
- 52:40Speaker 2: There are things I want to teach you, He's saying,
- 52:42Speaker 2: but I cannot because I found out that in teaching
- 52:45Speaker 2: you I will waste my time even Jesus himself wanted
- 52:49Speaker 2: to teach the disciples certain weightier matters of the kingdom,
- 52:52Speaker 2: but he said, unto them, I hope you know none
- 52:55Speaker 2: of the disciples were saved. No, they were not saved.
- 52:59Speaker 2: There were only being prepared. How could they be saved
- 53:03Speaker 2: without the Holy Spirit?
- 53:07Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 53:08Speaker 6: Now?
- 53:09Speaker 2: Just because they were around Jesus did not make them saved. No,
- 53:12Speaker 2: if they were saved by what means? If that means
- 53:15Speaker 2: we have to cancel salvation. There is no other name
- 53:18Speaker 2: under Heaven given on to men by which we must
- 53:20Speaker 2: be saved.
- 53:21Speaker 1: And salvation is only by the blood, the substitutionary sacrifice.
- 53:26Speaker 1: So how could they have been saved?
- 53:27Speaker 2: No, everybody Jesus healed was still unsaved, including the religious people.
- 53:36Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 53:37Speaker 2: He had to die and become the first bond of
- 53:41Speaker 2: we the begotten. So he told them, he said, I
- 53:50Speaker 2: have many things to tell you, but ye cannot bear them.
- 53:54Speaker 1: Now. Ye cannot bear them, need you cannot hear them.
- 53:58Speaker 1: You cannot bear them.
- 54:00Speaker 2: And I've taught you here that some of those things
- 54:02Speaker 2: he wanted to say was what the Spirit inspired Paul
- 54:05Speaker 2: to write. You know how hard some of posts writings
- 54:08Speaker 2: are that even the disciples a kite, this one, ah,
- 54:12Speaker 2: this man, this thing is hard smaller. So imagine if
- 54:14Speaker 2: Jesus were talking to them, they would be saying, preach, preacher,
- 54:17Speaker 2: and at the end of it said, let's go, effiicient.
- 54:19Speaker 2: This guy is talking nonsense and wasting our time here.
- 54:24Speaker 2: One of the ways you know you are still canal
- 54:26Speaker 2: is that you don't have the endurance for sound doctrine.
- 54:31Speaker 2: The moment sound doctrine is a burden something and you says, what.
- 54:34Speaker 1: Is all this one? Now? Can't you just go straightforward receive.
- 54:40Speaker 1: I'm not being sarcastic, but it's true. If I shout
- 54:44Speaker 1: and said, what am I saying?
- 54:45Speaker 5: B m w.
- 54:49Speaker 1: Coin Onia, b m w hi.
- 54:54Speaker 2: Someone already lived this and carry the hand of somebody
- 54:56Speaker 2: and said that, I'm not saying that you receive, You
- 54:59Speaker 2: receive your b You.
- 55:02Speaker 1: Are way together.
- 55:04Speaker 2: But the same if the entire journey of the believer
- 55:08Speaker 2: is only centered around these kinds of things, there will
- 55:10Speaker 2: be a lot of problems. And I tell you the truth,
- 55:14Speaker 2: respectfully speaking, that wemen of God have been given the
- 55:17Speaker 2: mandates by God to transition people from being natural canal
- 55:23Speaker 2: to being spiritual. For as long as we keep maintaining
- 55:28Speaker 2: canal membership, the pastor will never rest. One of the
- 55:32Speaker 2: proof of canality is putting your attention on a man
- 55:35Speaker 2: and not God. It's the reason why people keep going
- 55:38Speaker 2: to all kinds of problems, even in ministry, because if
- 55:42Speaker 2: I tie all your attention to me, I will be
- 55:45Speaker 2: in trouble.
- 55:46Speaker 1: It means I will never sleep for the rest of
- 55:47Speaker 1: my life. Are we together? So my job is to
- 55:51Speaker 1: help you, And the.
- 55:53Speaker 2: Greatest way to help you is not just to prophesy
- 55:55Speaker 2: to you. The greatest way to help you is not
- 55:57Speaker 2: just to pray for you when you are sick or
- 55:59Speaker 2: be therefore you when you have problems. That is very important,
- 56:03Speaker 2: it's a very important pastoral duty. But let me tell you,
- 56:06Speaker 2: the greatest way to really help believe us is to
- 56:09Speaker 2: teach them. Bring light, bring understanding, bring illumination, grant them
- 56:14Speaker 2: access to wisdom. The moment believers start growing and maturing,
- 56:18Speaker 2: you start resting.
- 56:19Speaker 1: As a man of God.
- 56:20Speaker 2: The same way when a parent invest in a child,
- 56:23Speaker 2: are we together? As the child starts growing and it's
- 56:26Speaker 2: becoming a responsible child, the parent who start resting. There
- 56:29Speaker 2: are parents who have children taller than them, and yet
- 56:33Speaker 2: they will not rest. You know why, because the child,
- 56:36Speaker 2: with all your respect, is ill trained and still a
- 56:40Speaker 2: burden to the parent. At forty still a body, at fifty,
- 56:44Speaker 2: still a bodying. So where the parents would rest, they
- 56:47Speaker 2: are not resting because they move from one policeation after
- 56:50Speaker 2: the other, going to build a child out.
- 56:53Speaker 1: This is how it can be.
- 56:56Speaker 2: It is not a person's conference, but I'm just digressing
- 56:58Speaker 2: to help you. If you're a man of God, let
- 57:00Speaker 2: me tell you the truth. Don't feel so insecure that
- 57:04Speaker 2: you have to turn the attention of everybody on you.
- 57:06Speaker 2: It is a risk you will never be able to
- 57:09Speaker 2: find sleep. Help them and guide them and lead them
- 57:13Speaker 2: to Jesus. Teach them truth.
- 57:15Speaker 1: You are there to supervise, to guide, to coordinate. Are
- 57:19Speaker 1: we together? Yeah?
- 57:26Speaker 2: Many believers are still canal can now because of our
- 57:30Speaker 2: thinking can now because we are still alive to self
- 57:34Speaker 2: the fleshly desires were cannot because we are largely unyielded
- 57:40Speaker 2: to God, unyielded to the Holy Spirit. I'm pressing on
- 57:46Speaker 2: this canality so that we'll be able to understand true spirituality.
- 57:51Speaker 1: So the natural man is the only generated man.
- 57:54Speaker 2: He's not even met Christ at all, even if he's
- 57:57Speaker 2: been around the things of God. He does not to
- 58:00Speaker 2: be a bad man by our definition of being bad
- 58:03Speaker 2: doing anything wrong, society wrong, societally wrong. But the fact
- 58:07Speaker 2: that that man is not saved something is wrong. Eternal
- 58:11Speaker 2: damnation is the destiny of that man without Christ. For
- 58:15Speaker 2: the canal man, he is saved, but that the reality
- 58:19Speaker 2: his cannot be a true reflection of Christ. Are we together?
- 58:23Speaker 2: The Bible says, to be cannally minded is death. So
- 58:27Speaker 2: you watch a canal man dying as if he is
- 58:31Speaker 2: not spirit, as if he's not saved, and you are
- 58:33Speaker 2: wondering where you really saved. Everything you used to do
- 58:39Speaker 2: before you were saved, you are still doing now. No difference,
- 58:43Speaker 2: no difference whatsoever. Same talk, same behavior, same places, same relationships,
- 58:50Speaker 2: same things. That is a canally minded man, same philosophies,
- 58:55Speaker 2: same insult, same anger, same manifestations of the flesh.
- 59:00Speaker 1: There is nothing around your life.
- 59:02Speaker 2: If someone did not see you making an altar call,
- 59:05Speaker 2: and someone comes to meet you one year, even after
- 59:08Speaker 2: you are saved, they would know the difference. You have
- 59:11Speaker 2: to tell them, well, just to let you know, I'm
- 59:13Speaker 2: saved now, and they say you are saved.
- 59:15Speaker 1: It is a joke, but it's supposed to be clear.
- 59:20Speaker 2: The reality of salvation is supposed to have a growing
- 59:24Speaker 2: influence within you.
- 59:25Speaker 1: It's God speaking to someone tonight.
- 59:29Speaker 2: Efficients Chapter two, from verse one to three, efficients two
- 59:35Speaker 2: one to three, it says, and you have he quickened
- 59:40Speaker 2: who were dead in trespasses and in sins uh huh.
- 59:44Speaker 1: Verse two it says, wear in. He's describing something.
- 59:50Speaker 2: Now wearing in time past you walked according to the
- 59:54Speaker 2: cause of this world.
- 59:56Speaker 1: Watch this according to the Prince of the power of
- 59:59Speaker 1: the air.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: The spirits that now work get in the children of disobedience.
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: Are you saying that there are there are people in
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: this life you see the things that they do. Is
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: not counselling that will change it. They need an alther call.
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what kind of counseling, with all due
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: respect you can administer, superior therapist, it will not change
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: because there is a spirit that works in the sums
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: of disobedience. I've seen people who you counsel and at
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: the point of counseling they're even crying, And you say,
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: will you do this again? Say me, no, not at all.
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: In fact, I can't tell you today's the last day
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: that person will get up right where you are and
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: work right. Have you seen that kind of thing right there?
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: You can build a person out of a policeation and
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: they'll say if you return here again, you will not
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: go back. Yes, sir, by next week the person is
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: back there. There is a spirit please hear me. This
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: is spiritual intelligence. Once you see people doing certain things
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: that they cannot stop, stop wasting your time with counseling.
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: You need to administer and not that kind of therapy.
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: It's called the power of God. Are we together?
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: The person stole ten nairah. You caught the person red
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: handed with ten naira there and the person this is
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: the last time. If I do another, still, make God
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: kill me. God doesn't keep. God knows the man is
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: just talking nonsense by evening, not the next day evening.
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: He just says. And you know, these spirits work. The
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: spirits actually creates a.
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: Prophetic expression in their victims because you can hide something
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: and the person just stands in.
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: The room and just goes to lift the match. The
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: same way you profess high.
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: You hide the money, hide it anywhere that will find it,
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: the same way somebody, for instance, not to condemn all
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: these guys are smoke all kinds of things. As soon
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: as the entire city, a city they have never gone to,
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: in two hours, they know where their company is.
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: It's a spirit.
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: I know you are laughing, but listen carefully to what
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: I'm telling you. There is a spirit that works in
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: people the same way there is a spirit that brings trouble, negative.
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: Things to people.
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: Now, but that is supposed to be the experience of
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: the own believer. But you can be a believer. Listen
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: to believe that just because you are saved, dremone spirits
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: cannot have access to your mind and.
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: Your destiny is a joke. Did you hear what I said?
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: Let me repeat it for your learning. It is a joke.
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: They should not. But since you are canal, there is
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: no difference.
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: So you find out that when you are ministering deliverance,
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: you will see both believers and nonbelievers under.
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: The influence of these spirits.
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: The explanation is, provided you still have a canal software,
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: there is still a gait for Satan to access your life.
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: He may not possess you because the life of God
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: is in your spirit, but he can still find room
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: to manipulate your life, even as though you were possessed.
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: So there are many believers moving around and saying it
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: doesn't matter. Now that I'm safe, I don't need It's
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: not true.
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: It's not true.
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: Listen to my message complete deliverance. I teach there that
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: there are three levels of deliverance. There is the deliverance
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: where by the power of God you can'st out the
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: spirit influence. Ideally that should be to an unbeliever. But
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: number two, there is deliverance through transformation.
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: This is what makes.
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: Deliverance not needed in your life. Again, that when you
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: sit down and you are transformed, what part of you
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: is being transformed?
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: Your mind?
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: There is a switch from being ternally minded to being
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: spiritually minded. And now you can partner as an act
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: of your will with the world of God and with
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit. And when Satan comes to you, because
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: he will come, there is nothing in you that can
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: connect him to you again. But until then he would
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: deceive you into believing that you cannot be manipulated by spirits.
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: And yet you will find your life, even though you
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: are saved, you will still find your life helplessly under
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: the influence of spirits, helplessly, helplessly under the influence of spirits,
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: and it does not matter whether you're a preacher. It
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: does not matter whether you're a businessman. It does not
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: matter whether you are an elder in church. Spirits don't
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: have respect for those things. Once you are canally minded,
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: you are in the realm of Satan. There is a
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: way that can now people walk. It says, who work
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: according to the cause of this world. There is a
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: way cannally minded people speak. There is a way cannarly
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: minded people Behave Ladies.
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: And gentlemen listen. Just because you have obtained grace from
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: God does not.
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: Mean you will utilize it. You can waste the grace,
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: the enabling grace that was given.
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: It is why every time Jesus.
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: Saw people and he had compassion towards them, the first
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: thing he did was to teach them. That means the
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: real way to show people compassion, the real way to
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: show people to If you desire to take people out
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: of their state, your response is not just a prophetic word.
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: Your response is not just healing.
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: Your real response to dealing with people's states is to
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: teach them. The teaching ministry is the permanent cure for
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: people's state. But then related to the teaching ministry, the content,
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: the spiritual information that you are communicating, must be wholesome, doctrinal, balanced,
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: seasoned with power.
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: To produce the effect.
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: Otherwise you will be creating another kind of error again,
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: which is what is happening sadly across the body of Christ.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: So we have many teachers, but the content is where
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: the problem is.
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: So there are believers who are learning and receiving, but
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: the problem is not their refusal to receive, is that
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: there is something wrong with the kind of information, either
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: it is imbalanced or completely wrong.
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: What do you do with a canal mind? What do
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: you do with a canal person? A canal person needs
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: beyond counseling.
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: Please let me have your attention.
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: A cannal man needs beyond advice. A canal man needs
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: beyond just.
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: Reading a book. What a canal man.
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: Needs is to sob me himself, watch this now, to
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: submit himself to the ministry of the world.
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: Through a teaching.
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: Priest, and then that process of transition begins until he
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: becomes a spiritual man.
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: Is someone learning now?
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: So you find yourself and you know as I'm speaking
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: that truly I'm seeling this realm of canality my mind
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: is not purified. My thoughts are not purified. So says
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: my speaking, so says my behavior. Because your mindset is
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: what controls your behavior. Your mindset is what controls your speaking.
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: Your mindset is what controls your appetites. And the moment
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: you find out that you are not manifesting god like characteristics,
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: I am telling you the diagnosis is that you are
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: canal even though you are saved. But there is a
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: way out. In the name of Jesus, there is a
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: way out. Let's talk about the spiritual man. Praying the
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: spirit in one minute, pray in the spirit in one minute.
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: Your spe read open to me the treasures of your word,
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: and I will forever.
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: Sing your brain. Your sp read opens to me the treasures.
- 1:08:38Speaker 12: Of your word, and I will forever see your brains.
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: Pray and I will see after wonders of your work.
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: I will see.
- 1:08:58Speaker 6: Out for you.
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: I will see.
- 1:09:06Speaker 12: After gondless of your word, and I will forever seeing
- 1:09:13Speaker 12: your friend.
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: Allelujah. Now look or please.
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: A spiritual man is not a man open to the
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: realm of the spirit.
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: Listen carefully. When we talk about a spiritual man, we
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: don't mean a man who is open to.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: Visionary encounters or out of body experiences, because an occultic
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: man is not a spiritual man, even though he's open
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: to the realm of the spirit. So when we are
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: talking about spirituality, we're not talking about the ease with
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: which you can separate your body from your spirit and
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: interact with the realm of the spirit.
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: No, if that is your concept, you will easily be
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: misled to error.
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: I want to define for you the spiritual man from
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: the lens of scripture because for the average believer, after
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: dealing with the matters of the natural man and dealing
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: with the canal man, the moment we talk about the
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: spiritual man, the first place your mind goes to is
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: the person who leaves his body at will. If you
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: can leave your body at will, something is wrong with you.
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: Did you know what I said? If you can leave
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: your body, levitate and leave your body at will and
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: come back, go for.
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: And see a powerful man of God to help you.
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: I'm telling you this.
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: It's an occultic practice. It's not spirituality. You should have
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: the advantage of the duality of realms of interacting with
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: the realm of the spirit.
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: But let me tell you something.
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: Something always happens to you when you are exposed to
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: the atmosphere of the realm of the Spirit. The Spirit
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: is not Heaven. I hope you know that the realm
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: of the Spirit is and not that face and not
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: that plane of reality that has rules of engagement accessible
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: to all men with or without Christ. The condition to
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: be out and interacting with the realm of the Spirit.
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: Is that you must be assisted by another spirit, and
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: it does not have to be the spirit of God.
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: I will see after wonders of your work. I will
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: see out for you. I will see.
- 1:11:48Speaker 12: After wonders of your work, and I will forever seeing
- 1:11:55Speaker 12: your prayer.
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: What kind of man does the Bible define as a
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: spiritual man?
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: Please write? What kind of a man?
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: If we know that there is the natural man, If
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: we know that there is the canal man, a believer,
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: and yet a canal man. And we say that to
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: be able to reflect Christ in his fullness, the condition
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: is that beyond salvation, that transition has to happen in
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: your life until you attain a state a kind of
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: man that the Bible calls spiritual. Now we're examining such
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: a man. What does it take?
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: How do I know that I am becoming or I
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: have become a spiritual man. Are you ready?
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: There are a few things features that must be captured
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: within the life of a believer as proof that that
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: person is a spiritual man. Let me run through the
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: least for you.
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: Number one.
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: Any spiritual man you know must have encountered Christ through
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: the new birth experience.
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: Any man.
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: This is why I said a spiritual man is not
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: just one who is open to the realm of the spirit.
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: There are many people who are not saved, and they
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: can see visions. There are many people who are trained
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: traditionally in the village, and their organs of interaction with
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: the realm of the spirit by fraternity with demon Spirit
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: are opened in a heightened way. They can see you
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: coming from a distance and call your name. The lady,
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: the damnsel who had the spirit of divination, her prophecy
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: was accurate, and yet she was not saved.
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: Are we learning? So for you to be a spiritual man?
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: Number one, you must have encountered Jesus Christ through the
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: new birth experience.
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: Please write that down.
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: You must have encountered Christ, Jesus Christ through the new
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: birth experience.
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: Number two.
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: A spiritual man is one who has had an experience
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: with the Person and the ministry of.
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit.
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: You cannot be a spiritual man if you have not
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: encountered the Person and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: The Person and the Ministry of the Holy Spirit. These
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: are the factors that produce through spirituality and believers.
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: Number one, an experience.
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: With Jesus, the Son of the Living God, the new
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: Birth experience. Number two and encounter with the Person and
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Can I give you
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: number three the factors that define a spiritual man. A
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: spiritual man is one who has a thorough comprehension of
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: the principles of the Kingdom as revealed in Scripture. A
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: thorough comprehension of the principles of the Kingdom, the ways
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: of God as revealed in Scripture.
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: Don't forget this third point.
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: A spiritual man is not just a Bible study giant.
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: Is one who, through the lens of Scripture primarily has
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: come into a thorough comprehension of the ways of God,
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: the principles of the Kingdom as revealed in Scripture.
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: You have that down, So.
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: Number one and encounter with Jesus Christ through the new
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: Birth experience. Number two and encounter with the person and
- 1:15:47Speaker 2: the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Number three a thorough
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: comprehension of the principles of the Kingdom the ways of God,
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: as revealed in Scripture number four. Who is a spiritual man?
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: According to Scripture number four, the man who has willingly
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: chosen to submit to.
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: The leadership of the Holy Spirit. Ah. This is an
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: important one. The man who has willingly chosen to submit
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: Chose because you have an encounter with God by his spirit,
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: does not mean you have chosen to submit. A spiritual
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: man is one who has willingly under line that word will.
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: Your will has.
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: An active role to play in your becoming spiritual willingly
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: submitted to the lordship, the leadership of.
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: The Spirit of God. Let me tell you the truth.
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: Do you know how difficult it is to truly submit
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: to the leadership of the Holy Spirit. When you submit
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: to the leadership of.
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit, the first thing that happens is a
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: thorough disruption of life as you have defined it your way.
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: Did you hear what I said?
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: A thorough disruption of life as you have defined or
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: arranged it your way. When God comes into your life,
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: he does not continue with your life the way you
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: designed it. There is a disruption of that plan. Is
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: the reason why many people cannot submit to the spirit
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: of God. Because you have pledged loyalty to God by
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: his spirit.
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: I will go, I will go wherever you lead me.
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: I will go, I will go, I will will go
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: wherever you lead.
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: This is the reason why God likes songs of surrender,
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: because you will answer them quickly. You know all these
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: songs we sing, God take everything. Aha, this is what
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: I've been waiting for. But you see, because the Spirit
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: of God is not a demon spirit, at every point
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: in his leadership journey with you, he will have to
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: verify that you are still willing to trust him.
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: Did you what I said? He will not you sop
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: it over. You know.
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: I'm willing to guide you Jeremiah twenty ninety eleven. I
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: know the thoughts that I think towards you, say the Lord,
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: they are thoughts of kings, are not of evil. To
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: give you an expected end. Submitting to the leadership of
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit is based on you understand that God's
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: ways are not your ways. Neither his thoughts your thoughts
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: are we together that you can want life your way ah.
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: But if you can trust God, let me tell you
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: the truth. The initial point of your journey with the
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: Holy Spirit to be rough. And it is not rough
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: because that's how he leads. It is rough because of
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: the bad plans you have made for yourself. That in
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: your own wisdom you'll believe you have designed an excellent life.
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: Here he comes, Spirit of the Living God.
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: Ah.
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: I love the Holy SPIRITO.
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: When he steps into your life, you is thinking politics, politics, me,
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: I know I will win the election. He just comes
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: upon you and gently he starts doing a U turn.
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: And for some people with one hundred and.
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: Eighty degrees are we together?
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: Let me tell you what it means to submit to
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit, to submit your will, to submit your plans,
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: to submit your ways, and to be willing to receive
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: from him, even if it is inconveniencing you. You trust
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: the fact that he represents he is the Spirit of
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: the Father, and that he has your best interest.
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: It may not make sense, but.
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: Somewhere along the journey, after ten years, you will see
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: the wisdom of his leadership. Someone please listen to me,
- 1:20:24Speaker 2: because one of the ways cannot people get into trouble
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: is judging ten years using the maopic.
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: Lens of today, God can look at you and tell
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: you join this chariot.
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: It may not make sense till after eleven years you
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: will see why he brought you to that relationship. You
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: will see why he brought you to Collinonia. The version
- 1:20:45Speaker 2: of you that kim may not make sense. God, what
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: are you doing with me? And he says you just
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: be consistent When he calls you to enter the act
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: is because the rain is coming. And just because the
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: rain did not come for one hundred and twenty years
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: the page and when the rain comes, you will see
- 1:21:02Speaker 2: the value of that wisdom.
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: Is the reason why the greatest way Satan deceives believers
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: is to act as the Holy Spirit, because he knows
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: that believers have opened up themselves to be yielded.
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: That is another discussion.
- 1:21:26Speaker 2: Satan hardly, I can't believers as Satan.
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: He comes with the disguise of.
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit because he knows if he comes as Satan,
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: you will cast him. So he will come as an
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: angel of light and suggest things using scripture. But you
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: need a level of maturity to say no. Even though
- 1:21:45Speaker 2: this sounds good, this is not the Holy Spirit. God
- 1:21:47Speaker 2: does not lead this way. This is why you have
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: to know the Holy Spirit before you submit to him.
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: If you submit to any voice and any entity that
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: is not just human, you will find out you are
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: being submitted to many and it is and many believers
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: they think it's the Holy Spirit leading them. They would
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: die believing is the Holy Spirit leading them. But upon
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: the lens of a spiritually matured person you will see
- 1:22:12Speaker 2: the gaps that this level of submission is to a
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: demoned spirit, not the Holy Spirit. Listen carefully, they said
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: deliverance service for someone. Now there are people who are
- 1:22:23Speaker 2: done stupid things in the name of being led by
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: the spirit, and will be showing you and not the
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: element of being spiritual.
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: Because if the only thing.
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: You do to be spiritual is submission to.
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: Spirits, you are in trouble. I told you.
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: If Satan uses evil to destroy you and you resist it,
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: you will use good.
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: The most important thing is he wants you to be destroyed.
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: So we have, respectfully speaking, we have an army of
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: sincere people in the body of Christ doing all kinds
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: of things, and the basis of their comfort, they will
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: tell you see my notebook, see it. God told me
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: I know what I saw. You are right, but we
- 1:23:07Speaker 2: need to george the kind of influence. And there is
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: a way to george spirits. This is why the Bible says,
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: strong meat, let me leave that one.
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: We're coming there. You see that you can george spirits.
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: If you are open hearted tonight for someone.
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: It can be a delivery service.
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: Now to ask yourself this, Johnny, I'm taking I don't
- 1:23:27Speaker 2: see the lights and I'm not I'm seeing everything around
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: it is taking me backward. I'm going into a pit.
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: Is this really the voice of God? And when you check,
- 1:23:37Speaker 2: you will find out that you are being led by
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: a demon spirit.
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: And you do not know.
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: If Jesus had to pray for Peter and say certain
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: desired they did come like a beast with horns. You
- 1:23:51Speaker 2: think Peter would not have resisted him. He slipped into
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: Peter and use Peter's compassion. There are people who have
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: their place of glory and their place of assignment because
- 1:24:03Speaker 2: they had a voice, and the voice spoke beautifully.
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: The voice came through a dream and said, go to
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: this place. The voice came and turned their destiny, help
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: us to look like demons. And they got off from
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: that dream hating the people.
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: Who will bless them. Listen carefullio, this message is to
- 1:24:21Speaker 2: bless you. We're talking about the spiritual man. That a
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: spiritual man, in addition to an encounter with the person
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, must submit to
- 1:24:32Speaker 2: the lordship of the Spirit. Let me tell you one
- 1:24:35Speaker 2: classic sign to know that is the Holy Spirit leading you.
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: There is nothing he will ever tell you that will
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: be by force. Now you will be constrained, but the
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: Holy Spirit, as the Spirit of God, will always respect
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: the will factor the greatest gift God gave man his salvation,
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: true Christ, and even that he never forced it on
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: any man. Anything that demands that you do it by force,
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: it is not.
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: The spirit of God. It is inconsistent with the nature
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: of love.
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: I said before your life and death, I said before
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: your blessing and cursing. I can only advise you choose life.
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: That's why the Holy Spirit is called a counselor are
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: we listening now?
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: Now?
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: With all due respect, I know that I've read many
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: books books. I'm one person who has had a rich
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: heritage of a journey with the Holy Spirit by the
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: grace of God. And I've read books on revivals, and
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: I've seen in many writings where people say things like
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit told them if you don't do this,
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: you would die. And I respect their level of revelation,
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: but I can tell you by the authority of scripture
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: it's not accurate. God does not work like that. If
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: God did not force you to receive him, the moment
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: God puts pressure on you and takes away the will,
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: it's no longer called obedience. It's called oppression. The basis
- 1:26:04Speaker 2: of obedience is that your power to choose must remain.
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: You cannot tell me to obey until you give me
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: an option to disobey. That's why there were two trees
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: in the Garden of Eden, not one tree.
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: Is someone learning?
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: Now, this is one of the ways you judge spirits,
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: and also this is also one of the ways you
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: judge prophecies. Anything that has to constrain you by force
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: something is wrong. No, no, no, give by force God
- 1:26:40Speaker 2: there by force ah ah. That language of false is
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: not a kingdom language, not towards the saints, towards demon's spirits, yes, sir,
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: but not the saints. Is someone learning already, not by force.
- 1:26:54Speaker 2: So by the time someone say it's not that me too,
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: it's not like God. Just force me be careful. You
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: are not bad, but just accept that you're still growing.
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: When you grow, you will find out you have been
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: blaming God is a lie.
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: It's not God. God constrains.
- 1:27:15Speaker 2: He puts pressure within your heart either to go or
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: to stay, but he will always leave the will factor.
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: You can choose.
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: I can choose as an act of my will today,
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: as a man of God, and stand before you, and
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: stand before the whole world and say, you know what,
- 1:27:32Speaker 2: I'm not interested in God again. It's an act of
- 1:27:35Speaker 2: my will. You intercede for me. But at the end
- 1:27:38Speaker 2: of it, when you intercede for me, let me tell
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: you what happens. The Spirit of God will keep revealing
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: to me the excellency of staying with Him and the
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: disaster that may happen to those he has connected to
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: my grace. But at the end of it, when he
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: finds out I have made up my mind, he will
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: honor my decision and raise another person. That's how God works.
- 1:28:02Speaker 2: Are you learning the ways of God? Because there are
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: many believers who do not soub.
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: Me to the spirit of God.
- 1:28:15Speaker 2: And the reason why they do not sub me to
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: the spirit of God is that they are afraid.
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: Here's what they're afraid of. I have arranged my life
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: my own way.
- 1:28:26Speaker 2: I have planned everything from graduation is America. And where
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: you are praying, what you are saying is God, you
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: better make America work.
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: Every time you pray, that prayer something.
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: In you and you say, I won't pray again because
- 1:28:39Speaker 2: you are suspecting that if you actually sub me to.
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: The spirit of God. Let me teach you something.
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: If you run life by your understanding, you will make
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: many mistakes. If you run life, the Bible says in
- 1:28:55Speaker 2: Probabs chapter three, from verse five to seven, trusting the
- 1:28:59Speaker 2: Lord with all your heart, and he says to lean
- 1:29:02Speaker 2: not onto your own understanding in all your ways verse six.
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: Acknowledge him and he shall direct your path.
- 1:29:10Speaker 2: Someone says, direct me, shout and say guide me, Oh God,
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: The bit that God has done in.
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: This ministry today is from the foolishness of the guidance
- 1:29:25Speaker 2: of the spirit. There is nowhere written in the Bible
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: that Coinonia will move from Zaria to Abuja. There is
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: nowhere written in the Bible that Coinonia will be all
- 1:29:35Speaker 2: over the globe. It's not written directly there there is
- 1:29:38Speaker 2: a manday to reach the ends of the earth, but
- 1:29:41Speaker 2: that bespoke direction plus the season, that's the Holy Spirit
- 1:29:47Speaker 2: for you. If you do not sob me to the
- 1:29:49Speaker 2: Holy Spirit, you will be like a man driving a
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: beautiful car but not holding the steering. And this steering
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: of destiny is too complicated for you to hold the
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: You are too small.
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: Your hand is too small. You will not even be
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: able to turn it.
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: And when you insist that I will hold it and
- 1:30:08Speaker 2: run my life my own way, very soon you see
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: another hand bigger than your.
- 1:30:11Speaker 1: Own, running you to ditch that certain for you.
- 1:30:18Speaker 2: Are we together. Let me tell you the truth. Allow
- 1:30:22Speaker 2: God lead you by his spirit. Trust his leadership. You
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: submit to the Holy Spirit the same way you gave
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: your life to Christ.
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: That from this day's spirit of the Living God.
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: I trust you as the spirit of the Father, and
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: I submit to your leadership. I submit to your leadership
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: to guide me, to speak to.
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: Me, to help me.
- 1:30:45Speaker 2: I am unable to make destiny walk my own way.
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: I've tried and tried that it does not work.
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: You are the.
- 1:30:52Speaker 2: Spirit that guided Jesus to completion of his assignment. Even
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: Jesus himself needed to be guided by that same spirit.
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: The spirit of God is an ancient spirit. He has
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: worked with many men. You are not the first when
- 1:31:08Speaker 2: you invite him into your life.
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: Don't you think the.
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: Holy Spirit just comes uninvited and says, hold my hands
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: here y, No, it doesn't work that way. That's a
- 1:31:16Speaker 2: demon spirit. Even if it's after ten years, he will
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: stretch his hands and say, give me a chance to
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: produce the glory of God out of your life.
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: And you will argue and say, I don't. I want
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: to do things my own way.
- 1:31:31Speaker 2: After you go around and waste time and waste destiny,
- 1:31:34Speaker 2: you still come back to the same point and you
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: will see the loving spirits. I can make this journey
- 1:31:39Speaker 2: easier for you for someone. Tonight you came to church
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: and God is telling you this candal approach to life
- 1:31:46Speaker 2: using guesswork.
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: Are we together? Oh?
- 1:31:49Speaker 2: This one, this one Abuja legos, Abuja legos. Let me
- 1:31:53Speaker 2: count five one to three, four five, it's legos. You
- 1:31:55Speaker 2: will ruin your life that way, this kind of superstitious living.
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: You cannot risk your life and the destinies of people
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: just using intelligence.
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: What if you know better, you find out.
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: You made a mistake. Now the Holy Spirit for you.
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: When he holds you, you will start one journey after another.
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: It will not make sense. So when he starts, remember
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: I told you he would disrupt a lot of your plans.
- 1:32:28Speaker 2: You will not even understand your own life yourself. The
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: only thing is that you know he's leading me. But
- 1:32:36Speaker 2: as he leads you through all of that darkness, all
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: of a sudden, you will start seeing a ray of light.
- 1:32:44Speaker 2: And that light and through the foolishness of your submitting
- 1:32:49Speaker 2: to him. It may take a few years, but you
- 1:32:52Speaker 2: now begin to see the beauty and glory that comes
- 1:32:54Speaker 2: out of your life.
- 1:32:57Speaker 1: And people would turn and say, I used to know
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: this sister. God.
- 1:33:00Speaker 2: We thought this sister was a total failure. Look what
- 1:33:04Speaker 2: God has done. Look what God has made out of
- 1:33:07Speaker 2: his life, out of her life. Let me speak to
- 1:33:09Speaker 2: someone here before I continue. You have run your life
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: your own way. Listen, you came to church because God
- 1:33:16Speaker 2: is telling you. This is the topondness that God to
- 1:33:18Speaker 2: your grandfather where he was. God gave him a chance.
- 1:33:21Speaker 2: He rejected it. For some of us, God came to
- 1:33:24Speaker 2: our parents and said, can I help you?
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: You don't know the road.
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: There used to be an old him who used to
- 1:33:31Speaker 2: sing in a seminary. My God knows the way through
- 1:33:33Speaker 2: the wilderness. He says, all I have to do is
- 1:33:37Speaker 2: to follow that you hold his hands, and says, Spirit
- 1:33:42Speaker 2: of God. The world is too wicked, too complicated, too deceptive.
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: I don't even know who is since here and who
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: is not. But I can trust you, can trust you.
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: What's that song? Trusting the Lord all your heart.
- 1:34:01Speaker 12: And lean.
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: Your own understand.
- 1:34:08Speaker 13: In all your ways, acknowledge, and he shall direct, and
- 1:34:16Speaker 13: he shall direct.
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: Your trust in the Lord. You know your heart.
- 1:34:25Speaker 7: And lean.
- 1:34:28Speaker 12: Your own understanding in all your ways, sick knowledge, and
- 1:34:38Speaker 12: he shall direct, and he shall direct.
- 1:34:46Speaker 2: Honestly, I want you to believe that the Holy Spirit
- 1:34:50Speaker 2: is a master at navigating destiny. He knows the mountains,
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: he knows the valleys. You see, because in this journey
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: of destiny, you can be looking at a whole and
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: not know it is a whole.
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: It's only when your eyes tells you it's.
- 1:35:09Speaker 2: A whole, and you will see beautiful lost gardens and
- 1:35:14Speaker 2: quickly get there and find yourself in a hole that
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: if you are not careful, you may never come out of.
- 1:35:22Speaker 2: There are many people who have entered pzzing destiny, pits
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: in ministry, pzz in family. Only God can bring them
- 1:35:29Speaker 2: out because they have decided that they will stop only
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: run their lives by themselves. God is speaking to someone.
- 1:35:36Speaker 2: Trust God with your life. You have trusted people and
- 1:35:39Speaker 2: things of lesser value. You carried your whole life and
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: gave them.
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: Allahah help me. You are the mighty God, and follow you.
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: You are the.
- 1:36:00Speaker 10: Dirac, You are.
- 1:36:03Speaker 1: The miny God, the mighty Til told me you you
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: are the glory of God. All you want am to God.
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: Hell tom in you you are the glory of God.
- 1:36:28Speaker 1: A ministry to you, Dave. Can you sing for me
- 1:36:31Speaker 1: that song? Spirit? Lead me find the convenient and sing it.
- 1:36:36Speaker 1: I want you to listen. Lead you are my trust.
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: He's with the listeners.
- 1:36:42Speaker 8: Let me come on the world where you cool me.
- 1:36:53Speaker 8: Take me deep, then my feed but.
- 1:36:59Speaker 5: And my leaf would be made strong in the press
- 1:37:05Speaker 5: of my safe.
- 1:37:10Speaker 1: Spirit.
- 1:37:11Speaker 5: Lead me with my trust.
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: Still we have our boarders.
- 1:37:17Speaker 5: Let me walk along the waters where were you would
- 1:37:24Speaker 5: call me? Take me deep, pretend my feet, for I
- 1:37:32Speaker 5: have wander in. My fame would be made strong in
- 1:37:39Speaker 5: the press and on my saved spirit. Lead me with
- 1:37:47Speaker 5: my trust. Still we hear the hard boards. Let me
- 1:37:52Speaker 5: walk upon the waters wherever were you would go.
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: To contain me within my fe.
- 1:38:08Speaker 5: In my face with be made.
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: Strong even.
- 1:38:15Speaker 4: My sha.
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: Allelujah. The spiritual man is beyond a church goer. The
- 1:38:26Speaker 2: spiritual man is beyond a tongue talker. The spiritual man
- 1:38:33Speaker 2: is beyond a routine prayer practitioner. A spiritual man is
- 1:38:40Speaker 2: beyond a fasting person.
- 1:38:43Speaker 1: Now at the.
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: Core of the journey to true spirituality, it's number one,
- 1:38:51Speaker 2: a genuine encounter with the Son of the Living God.
- 1:38:55Speaker 2: Number two, an encounter with the person and the ministry
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: of the Holy Spirit. Number three a thorough comprehension of
- 1:39:06Speaker 2: the ways of God, the mysteries of the Kingdom, the
- 1:39:10Speaker 2: principles of the Kingdom, and that by the scripture. Number
- 1:39:14Speaker 2: four listen carefully submission. Submission is different from encounter. There
- 1:39:21Speaker 2: are many people who can write books about the Holy Spirit,
- 1:39:24Speaker 2: but it is clear from their lives that they do
- 1:39:27Speaker 2: not want the inconvenience of submission to the governing authority
- 1:39:32Speaker 2: of the Spirit of God as an act of faith,
- 1:39:36Speaker 2: as an act of trust. Number five, the faith factor
- 1:39:42Speaker 2: that defines spirituality write this down, please, is submission to transformation.
- 1:39:49Speaker 1: By the word of God.
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: Again, just like submission to the Holy Spirit. Just because
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: you have access to the mysteries of the Kingdom, that
- 1:39:59Speaker 2: is knowledge, it does not mean you have chosen to
- 1:40:02Speaker 2: submit to transformation. Number five is one of the cardinal
- 1:40:08Speaker 2: pillers that transits a man from canality to spirituality. A
- 1:40:15Speaker 2: canal man is a canal man because he is cannally minded.
- 1:40:20Speaker 2: A spiritual man is a spiritual man because he is
- 1:40:23Speaker 2: spiritually minded. Any other factor that holds minor mentality cannot
- 1:40:30Speaker 2: leave someone in a spiritual person. There are many people
- 1:40:33Speaker 2: bragging about spirituality, but from the lens of scriptural submit
- 1:40:38Speaker 2: to you, they are not spiritual men.
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: No transformation. Submit to transformation. This is the fifth.
- 1:40:51Speaker 2: You are willing to submit to transformation by the word
- 1:40:54Speaker 2: of God. Romans twelfth one and two. I besiechly, brethren,
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: by the messages of God, that ye offer present your
- 1:41:02Speaker 2: bodies onto God, a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable onto God,
- 1:41:06Speaker 2: which is your reasonable act of worship.
- 1:41:08Speaker 1: Verse two, it says, and.
- 1:41:10Speaker 2: Be not conformed to this world the thinking patient that
- 1:41:15Speaker 2: comes with this system, He.
- 1:41:16Speaker 1: Says, but be ye transformed here.
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: It is by the renewal of your mind, that by
- 1:41:24Speaker 2: your transformation, you can prove what is that good, acceptable
- 1:41:29Speaker 2: and perfect will of God. Philippian Chapter two and verse five.
- 1:41:36Speaker 2: Let this mind be in you, which was also in
- 1:41:42Speaker 2: Christ Jesus. Permit allow, do not restrict, Do not restraint
- 1:41:49Speaker 2: this mentality from being in you, which was also in
- 1:41:54Speaker 2: Christ Jesus. True spirituality is not just about activities. True
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: spirituality is seen in the extent of your submission for
- 1:42:07Speaker 2: transformation to a point where you are changed in experience.
- 1:42:12Speaker 2: There are many people who pray but have refused to change.
- 1:42:15Speaker 1: Do you know what I said?
- 1:42:16Speaker 2: Because prayer is supposed to lead to change, but they
- 1:42:19Speaker 2: have refused to change. Many people study the scripture and
- 1:42:23Speaker 2: quote scripture, but they have not submitted to transformation. Many
- 1:42:27Speaker 2: people fast and keep fasting, but they have not submitted
- 1:42:31Speaker 2: to transformation. Many people who come to charge, they can
- 1:42:36Speaker 2: quote everything they have learned from everywhere, but they have
- 1:42:39Speaker 2: not submitted to change. Can I tell you you cannot
- 1:42:42Speaker 2: be a spiritually a spiritual man with a canal mind.
- 1:42:47Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way.
- 1:42:48Speaker 2: It is that transition from canal thinking to true spirituality,
- 1:42:54Speaker 2: and the Bible says the reward you get is life
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: and peace. Submission to the World of God. Submission to transformation, that.
- 1:43:12Speaker 1: The Word of God, like the Spirit of God, becomes
- 1:43:14Speaker 1: final authority over your life.
- 1:43:16Speaker 2: You have been indoctrinated by the value system of the Kingdom.
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: Are we together? I have taught you that one of the.
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: Ways you test transformation is that it becomes difficult for
- 1:43:27Speaker 2: people to connect you to any.
- 1:43:30Speaker 1: Region within the earth.
- 1:43:31Speaker 2: It's difficult for them to say you are your Roba
- 1:43:34Speaker 2: or Housa or Ebo. Maybe by your accent or by
- 1:43:37Speaker 2: your look, that's fine, but by behavior. No, your behavior
- 1:43:42Speaker 2: is so transitioned it betrays where you are coming from.
- 1:43:48Speaker 2: You can't see someone and saying you're behaving like them,
- 1:43:51Speaker 2: Where are you from? Ahe it's all these people, that's
- 1:43:53Speaker 2: how they behave.
- 1:43:54Speaker 1: No, that means you've not grown.
- 1:43:56Speaker 2: Because the Kingdom of God has its culture too. And
- 1:43:59Speaker 2: when you submit to the World of God, something begins
- 1:44:01Speaker 2: to happen to you.
- 1:44:03Speaker 1: You see that he won't stop. He won't stop till
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: my lie looks like him. He won't start. He won't
- 1:44:16Speaker 1: stop till my mind looks like him. He won't start.
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: He won't start till my destiny looks like him. See.
- 1:44:29Speaker 2: When you know this, you will not only get born
- 1:44:33Speaker 2: again and keep bragging up being a Christian for ten
- 1:44:35Speaker 2: years and make a mockery of your Christian experience. The
- 1:44:39Speaker 2: next thing to ask yourself is whose mindset am I representing?
- 1:44:44Speaker 1: Whose mindset? Have I embraced.
- 1:44:47Speaker 2: Stumbling blocks that will not allow you to be a
- 1:44:51Speaker 2: representation of the image of christ inexperience?
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: Are we together submission to transformation? This is what is
- 1:45:09Speaker 1: happening to you.
- 1:45:10Speaker 2: That's why I salute you and I take your coming
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: every week, not just as a I don't have a
- 1:45:16Speaker 2: membership mentality as a man of God. I'm too serious
- 1:45:19Speaker 2: to be thinking membership. No, you are beyond members This
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: is God's, God's vessel, God's ship on a project towards transformation.
- 1:45:31Speaker 2: Is the reason why I take my work very seriously.
- 1:45:35Speaker 2: You see that because every time we have the opportunity
- 1:45:39Speaker 2: to meet, whether to meet virtually or to.
- 1:45:42Speaker 1: Meet here is the business of transformation.
- 1:45:45Speaker 2: I know that if you are not transformed, the reality
- 1:45:48Speaker 2: of the christ life will not be manifesting you.
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: And this is what has plagued many people.
- 1:45:54Speaker 2: Some of you are here and you are wondering why
- 1:45:57Speaker 2: the promises of God cannot.
- 1:45:59Speaker 1: Find the expression. There is a kind of believer that
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: can capture the promises of God in your.
- 1:46:05Speaker 2: Life and experience. And if you don't transition, do you
- 1:46:09Speaker 2: know for instance? And I will wrap up with that,
- 1:46:14Speaker 2: the believer who cannot give up anger, look or please
- 1:46:18Speaker 2: anger alone. Just let's use one fleshly attribute of anger
- 1:46:24Speaker 2: that you cannot.
- 1:46:25Speaker 1: Die to anger by the spirit.
- 1:46:27Speaker 2: Anger alone can wreck all your relationships and destroy your
- 1:46:32Speaker 2: destiny forever.
- 1:46:33Speaker 1: Are we together? How about lost?
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: Not just lost in terms of immral behavior, lost for things, money.
- 1:46:41Speaker 2: It can relocate you out of the will of God,
- 1:46:43Speaker 2: send wrong people to your life. See that now, I
- 1:46:52Speaker 2: hope you are listening to what I'm telling you. Just
- 1:46:55Speaker 2: one fleshly attribute is like a virus that can enter
- 1:46:59Speaker 2: your system and wreck you into pieces, wreck you into pieces.
- 1:47:06Speaker 2: I love God, but let me tell you me and
- 1:47:09Speaker 2: my own kind of passwords. When I'm angry, I will
- 1:47:12Speaker 2: calm down to the member and beats the person and
- 1:47:14Speaker 2: come up. You see, don't celebrate bad things. Change, whether
- 1:47:21Speaker 2: you're a man of God, whether you're a member. If
- 1:47:24Speaker 2: you find out something in you is not good, don't
- 1:47:27Speaker 2: justify it. Because a man of God is still a
- 1:47:30Speaker 2: student change, don't justify it. I won't go back, can
- 1:47:44Speaker 2: go back to the way it used to be before.
- 1:47:50Speaker 1: Your presence came man change.
- 1:47:57Speaker 7: Go back, can go.
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: Path to the way used to be before your person Allelujah.
- 1:48:16Speaker 2: I want you to know that if you refuse to
- 1:48:19Speaker 2: transit to become spiritual, at the end of your life,
- 1:48:24Speaker 2: your Christian testimony will never inspire anybody to love God,
- 1:48:28Speaker 2: because all that your life will capture is a plethora
- 1:48:33Speaker 2: of events that will cost you pain, misrepresent Christ, and
- 1:48:39Speaker 2: perhaps got shot your life. You will never see the
- 1:48:44Speaker 2: reality of the victorious life at work, and you will
- 1:48:48Speaker 2: be wondering why God will push you to destiny help us,
- 1:48:51Speaker 2: but anger will drive you away from them.
- 1:48:55Speaker 1: Demon spirits will come to oppress you.
- 1:48:57Speaker 2: But because you have not submitted to that which builds
- 1:49:00Speaker 2: your discernment, you will fall cheaply into all kinds of things.
- 1:49:07Speaker 2: You see, the reason why we pray, the reason why
- 1:49:11Speaker 2: we first, the reason why we study the world, the
- 1:49:15Speaker 2: reason why we submit ourselves to all the spiritual disciplines
- 1:49:19Speaker 2: is to this end. It is not to show religiosity.
- 1:49:23Speaker 2: It is as part of the tools that sponsor that
- 1:49:27Speaker 2: transition to become spiritual. The justification for prayer, Ah, It's
- 1:49:34Speaker 2: not just doing it in the presence of people. Is
- 1:49:36Speaker 2: the change that happens has proved that it has changed you.
- 1:49:40Speaker 2: The justification for studying scripture is not just to quote
- 1:49:44Speaker 2: it in the presence of people that can be pretense,
- 1:49:47Speaker 2: is that you have been so immersed by that world
- 1:49:50Speaker 2: you have become one with it. So it's not just
- 1:49:53Speaker 2: something you preach. It's not even what you do again,
- 1:49:57Speaker 2: it is who you are, just like God. You have
- 1:50:01Speaker 2: become an expression of the logos of God in experience
- 1:50:06Speaker 2: that when men look at you, the next person they
- 1:50:08Speaker 2: think about is Jesus Christ. And it's not because you
- 1:50:11Speaker 2: are holding a Bible, it's not because you are standing
- 1:50:14Speaker 2: on stage. It is because you have become one with
- 1:50:18Speaker 2: the world, one with the spirit, through the vehicle of prayer,
- 1:50:22Speaker 2: through the vehicle of fasting, through the vehicle of listening
- 1:50:26Speaker 2: to the world of God. Most believers don't know why
- 1:50:29Speaker 2: they pray. Let me tell you the truth. A major
- 1:50:32Speaker 2: part of believers in Africa pray because of guilt, not because.
- 1:50:37Speaker 1: They want to grow.
- 1:50:38Speaker 2: They just pray because it seems like they don't want
- 1:50:40Speaker 2: to be blackmailed that they are not spiritual by not
- 1:50:43Speaker 2: being prayer for and so people just do it as
- 1:50:45Speaker 2: the ritual, and you will see a lot of energy
- 1:50:48Speaker 2: dissipated in prayer. But the transformation is to capture is
- 1:50:53Speaker 2: not captured in the life of the people. A lot
- 1:50:57Speaker 2: of believers to audy scripture simply, especially men of God.
- 1:51:01Speaker 2: We like to study scripture simply because.
- 1:51:03Speaker 1: We want to go through the rhetorics of intelligence.
- 1:51:08Speaker 2: But the transformation that comes by submitting to the world
- 1:51:13Speaker 2: is largely.
- 1:51:13Speaker 1: Deficient in our lives. The spiritual man, hear me, is
- 1:51:19Speaker 1: not just one who is out of the.
- 1:51:22Speaker 2: Spirit interacting with spirits, because occulties do that. The spiritual
- 1:51:27Speaker 2: man is one who, in order of priority, has encountered Christ.
- 1:51:33Speaker 2: The spiritual man has encountered the person, and the minister
- 1:51:37Speaker 2: of the Holy Spirit has access to the mysteries of
- 1:51:41Speaker 2: the Kingdom, and then has chosen, as an act of
- 1:51:44Speaker 2: his or her will, to submit to the governing authority
- 1:51:48Speaker 2: of the Spirit of God.
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: To guide you in all matters. And you have chosen
- 1:51:54Speaker 1: to submit to transformation that the world of.
- 1:51:57Speaker 2: God becomes the vista with which I look at life.
- 1:52:02Speaker 1: Are we together? Are you learning? Now? Let me teach
- 1:52:06Speaker 1: you something. As we find a place to pray.
- 1:52:13Speaker 2: Hmm, Shama Lando scopriator catabaradus. Someone is rising in this
- 1:52:25Speaker 2: place tonight, and by the spirit of the Living God,
- 1:52:29Speaker 2: you are stepping into a dimension in the spirit where
- 1:52:32Speaker 2: your life becomes a sign and a wonder in.
- 1:52:36Speaker 1: The name of Jesus Christ. Now listen.
- 1:52:39Speaker 2: The Bible talks about attaining onto the fullness of the
- 1:52:45Speaker 2: measure of the stature of Christ.
- 1:52:48Speaker 1: Efficient chapter four place give us.
- 1:52:51Speaker 2: From verse ten, the Bible says, he that descended is
- 1:52:58Speaker 2: also the same that send it far above the heavens,
- 1:53:01Speaker 2: that he may feel all things.
- 1:53:03Speaker 1: Verse eleven, he says, and he gave on.
- 1:53:06Speaker 2: To some Please pay attention, now you need to get
- 1:53:08Speaker 2: what I'm about to show you. He gave on to
- 1:53:10Speaker 2: some apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors, and teach us.
- 1:53:17Speaker 1: Verse twelve.
- 1:53:18Speaker 2: Why did he give that for the perfecting the word
- 1:53:21Speaker 2: perfect It means the maturing of the saints, for the
- 1:53:25Speaker 2: work of the ministry, for the defying. Listen of the
- 1:53:29Speaker 2: body of Christ. And here is the standard that God
- 1:53:33Speaker 2: has for every believer. As starting, it says, till we
- 1:53:37Speaker 2: all come into the unity of faith and of the
- 1:53:42Speaker 2: knowledge of the Son of God, onto a perfect, mature,
- 1:53:45Speaker 2: entire man. Then he says, onto the measure of the stature, help.
- 1:53:51Speaker 1: Me please, of the fullness of Christ.
- 1:53:55Speaker 2: That is God's destiny as far as the making of
- 1:53:59Speaker 2: the believer concern that you can get to a point
- 1:54:02Speaker 2: in the spirit where you can attain the fullness.
- 1:54:05Speaker 1: Of Christ and manifest that.
- 1:54:08Speaker 2: I've stoted this for a while because in my mind
- 1:54:10Speaker 2: I'm just wondering and said, how does a man become
- 1:54:13Speaker 2: a reflection of the.
- 1:54:15Speaker 1: Christ in his fullness? Is that even possible?
- 1:54:18Speaker 2: Can a man actually be a reflection of the fullness
- 1:54:23Speaker 2: of Christ? I found out it is true, and I
- 1:54:27Speaker 2: want to show you how right now, and then we'll
- 1:54:29Speaker 2: pray that a man can attain onto a state of
- 1:54:32Speaker 2: maturity where your life becomes a wholesome reflection of Christ
- 1:54:38Speaker 2: in his fullness, to your world, to the earth now,
- 1:54:44Speaker 2: in learning Jesus Christ, and in reflecting Him.
- 1:54:49Speaker 1: Please.
- 1:54:49Speaker 2: I wanted to listen, and if you're a man of
- 1:54:51Speaker 2: God here, I want you to listen. If you are
- 1:54:54Speaker 2: training people to become like Christ, these are the areas
- 1:54:58Speaker 2: you must focus on. These areas are not captured in
- 1:55:02Speaker 2: your training, the people you are leading will.
- 1:55:05Speaker 1: Never become like Christ.
- 1:55:07Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what kind of spiritual activities you engage.
- 1:55:10Speaker 2: In the formation of Christ in the saints has a formula.
- 1:55:15Speaker 2: Are we together? There is something you have to guide
- 1:55:19Speaker 2: the people into understanding, receiving, submitting to, and you will
- 1:55:24Speaker 2: find out not just one, two, three people in mass.
- 1:55:27Speaker 2: You will find out that ordinary people, weak people, seeers
- 1:55:31Speaker 2: as we call them, will suddenly begin to transition in
- 1:55:34Speaker 2: the spirit until you have.
- 1:55:36Speaker 1: The privilege of leading people who are truly like Christ.
- 1:55:40Speaker 1: Can I show you this number one?
- 1:55:44Speaker 2: The first area, the first area you must focus on
- 1:55:51Speaker 2: building in your attempts to build in people, the image,
- 1:55:56Speaker 2: the character, the formation of Christ. The first area you
- 1:56:00Speaker 2: have to focus on to mold in them is the
- 1:56:05Speaker 2: nature of Christ. The first dimension of the fullness of
- 1:56:10Speaker 2: Christ that must be captured and reflected in people is
- 1:56:14Speaker 2: the nature of Christ, the nature of Christ, the nature
- 1:56:20Speaker 2: of Christ. The people you are leading are not becoming
- 1:56:24Speaker 2: like Jesus if his nature is not manifesting, and if
- 1:56:29Speaker 2: His nature is not reflecting in them. Notice the progression
- 1:56:33Speaker 2: the primary assignment of any man of God in an
- 1:56:38Speaker 2: attempt to build a people who are a reflection of Christ.
- 1:56:42Speaker 2: In an attempt to build true spiritual are people is
- 1:56:46Speaker 2: to partner with the Word and the Holy Spirit, to
- 1:56:50Speaker 2: sit with that the nature of the Christ is formed
- 1:56:54Speaker 2: in them.
- 1:56:54Speaker 1: Galatians, Chapter five and verse twenty two.
- 1:56:59Speaker 2: Now what you know and you call the fruit of
- 1:57:03Speaker 2: the Spirit. Now, when you read KJV, follow carefully. KJV
- 1:57:08Speaker 2: makes it looks like there are nine fruits love, joy, peace, patience,
- 1:57:13Speaker 2: long suffering, And there's nothing wrong if you see it
- 1:57:16Speaker 2: that way. But classically speaking, the fruit of the Spirit,
- 1:57:20Speaker 2: you notice it's not set fruits.
- 1:57:22Speaker 1: It is one fruit.
- 1:57:24Speaker 2: The epitomy of the manifestation of the Christ is love.
- 1:57:29Speaker 2: The nature of God at work in a man is
- 1:57:32Speaker 2: the love nature. But that this nature expresses itself in
- 1:57:36Speaker 2: all of these varieties.
- 1:57:38Speaker 1: Joy and expression of love.
- 1:57:41Speaker 2: Peace an expression of love, patience an expression of love, gentleness.
- 1:57:48Speaker 2: Gentleness is not a personality thing. It is the outworking
- 1:57:51Speaker 2: of the Spirit of the Christ in a yielded vessel. Listen,
- 1:57:55Speaker 2: as you are looking at these things. Now debund respectfully
- 1:57:59Speaker 2: from the lens of that thought that this is my personality.
- 1:58:03Speaker 2: I am an angry person. I'm not jealous. I'm not gentle.
- 1:58:07Speaker 2: I am jealous. That's how we are. It's a lie
- 1:58:10Speaker 2: when you become a spiritual man. It is the journey
- 1:58:13Speaker 2: to deadening every other thing that.
- 1:58:16Speaker 1: Is not of the Christ. Are we together now the
- 1:58:19Speaker 1: nature of Christ? Everybody, say the nature of Christ.
- 1:58:22Speaker 2: That means I should be able to bring someone Ebo, Euroba, Houser, South, South,
- 1:58:28Speaker 2: Middle Belt, Caribbean, American, European group, all of them together.
- 1:58:33Speaker 2: If it is true they are spiritual men, they should.
- 1:58:36Speaker 1: Look like relatives from the same family. Are we together?
- 1:58:41Speaker 2: That you should have reduced, like a viral load to
- 1:58:45Speaker 2: its barest minimum, the character of the flesh when you
- 1:58:50Speaker 2: look at them. Please keep that scripture. This is what
- 1:58:52Speaker 2: I should find in a spiritual man. Love in all
- 1:58:58Speaker 2: its expressions. Joy, you see that, peace, Patience. I'm not
- 1:59:06Speaker 2: a patient person, but I love God. Walk on it,
- 1:59:09Speaker 2: walk on it. Allow the Spirit of God leave out
- 1:59:12Speaker 2: the character of the Christ. All of these things we
- 1:59:15Speaker 2: saw it in the life of Jesus, and the Bible says,
- 1:59:18Speaker 2: as the Father has sent me, so said are you.
- 1:59:21Speaker 1: We always think of this with respect to power. But
- 1:59:24Speaker 1: power issue will come.
- 1:59:26Speaker 2: But the first area that you must labor with the
- 1:59:29Speaker 2: spirit to build is the character and the nature of Christ.
- 1:59:34Speaker 2: Say it again, the nature of Christ, Gentleness, goodness, faith,
- 1:59:39Speaker 2: ah Verse twenty three. Meekness. You know what meekness is teachability.
- 1:59:46Speaker 2: Teachability the antidote to pride, teachability, temperance. Another word for
- 1:59:53Speaker 2: temperance is self control, self control, self control.
- 2:00:00Speaker 1: It says, against such there is no law. Listen to me.
- 2:00:05Speaker 1: When you look at a Christian, a child of God
- 2:00:09Speaker 1: who has truly.
- 2:00:10Speaker 2: Become a spiritual man, The first thing that should catch
- 2:00:15Speaker 2: your attention is not tongues.
- 2:00:18Speaker 1: The first thing that should catch your attention is not ramma.
- 2:00:22Speaker 2: The first thing that should catch your attention listen carefully,
- 2:00:26Speaker 2: is not manifestations of power. The first thing that should
- 2:00:30Speaker 2: catch your attention where you meet it real Christian is
- 2:00:33Speaker 2: the energy that flows from his love life. Did you
- 2:00:38Speaker 2: hear what I said? You see that we have a
- 2:00:41Speaker 2: lot of work to do in our lives. How many
- 2:00:44Speaker 2: of us say we are Christians, and people stand and
- 2:00:46Speaker 2: they want to run away because hate has an energy
- 2:00:49Speaker 2: you can't feel it. We vent our anger in our salmons,
- 2:00:54Speaker 2: we vent our anger as we deal with people in
- 2:00:56Speaker 2: our offices, and we wrap up everything.
- 2:00:59Speaker 1: In the name of the Lord. No sir, no sir.
- 2:01:03Speaker 2: The real proof that you are becoming a spiritual man
- 2:01:06Speaker 2: I'm telling you this with no excuses whatsoever. Is that
- 2:01:10Speaker 2: the love of Christ is growing within you. We say
- 2:01:14Speaker 2: that after every service, and yet we do not believe it. Yes,
- 2:01:18Speaker 2: what we say, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
- 2:01:21Speaker 2: the love of God, and we will say the sweet
- 2:01:25Speaker 2: fellowship of the Holy Spirit. AH be with us All Amen. Love,
- 2:01:39Speaker 2: love for God and love for people. Everybody, say love.
- 2:01:44Speaker 2: I'm saying this to you so that you would check
- 2:01:46Speaker 2: your life right now. You came to church.
- 2:01:49Speaker 1: And if you find out that the love of God
- 2:01:51Speaker 1: is not growing, and if it's only God you love,
- 2:01:54Speaker 1: you are lying. I hope you know that, because the
- 2:01:57Speaker 1: nature of God's love is both vertical and horizontal. If
- 2:02:01Speaker 1: your love is only to God, the more.
- 2:02:08Speaker 2: You love him, the more you love those he died for,
- 2:02:12Speaker 2: The more you love him, the more you love.
- 2:02:14Speaker 1: Those He's trusting you with. You see as a man
- 2:02:17Speaker 1: of God.
- 2:02:17Speaker 2: For instance, when you love the people God has sent
- 2:02:20Speaker 2: to you, you don't need to be preached into not
- 2:02:24Speaker 2: manipulating them. All of these things we try to address
- 2:02:28Speaker 2: in the Body of Christ. The real problem is that
- 2:02:30Speaker 2: people do not love God, and they do not love
- 2:02:33Speaker 2: the people that God has said to them.
- 2:02:36Speaker 1: Because there are many, many things that live your life.
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: When love is there, are we together?
- 2:02:45Speaker 2: When you love God and you love the people He
- 2:02:48Speaker 2: has sent to you, you will love them too much
- 2:02:51Speaker 2: to deceive them. You will love them too much to
- 2:02:54Speaker 2: manipulate them. You will love them too much to try
- 2:02:58Speaker 2: and turn their minds for your own personal gain. No,
- 2:03:01Speaker 2: this is beyond an issue of conscience. This is as
- 2:03:05Speaker 2: a testament that the nature of God dwells in you.
- 2:03:14Speaker 2: How many believers have love? When you begin to make
- 2:03:17Speaker 2: teachings on love, most believers just think it's a feminine thing.
- 2:03:20Speaker 1: Their mind goes straight to Valentine and they think love.
- 2:03:24Speaker 1: Love is there? Really is love thing?
- 2:03:26Speaker 2: And one Miraquan power is the reason why many people
- 2:03:31Speaker 2: become cheated. Because love is not as weak as you
- 2:03:34Speaker 2: think it is. That's what defeated Satan. People come to
- 2:03:47Speaker 2: church and just for three hours, they cannot tolerate the
- 2:03:51Speaker 2: people sitting by their left and right three hours because
- 2:03:55Speaker 2: at tread in them is boiling like water at one
- 2:03:58Speaker 2: hundred degrees for who to pour on?
- 2:04:03Speaker 1: Sit down.
- 2:04:04Speaker 2: The next time you push me, I will slap you.
- 2:04:06Speaker 2: Even though we're in church. Let me just tell you
- 2:04:08Speaker 2: I'm not like that. If you're tired of me, go
- 2:04:10Speaker 2: and look for another neighbor.
- 2:04:11Speaker 1: Lived up. Jesus, I love you, and God is saying,
- 2:04:14Speaker 1: who are you deceiving? I hope you are learning.
- 2:04:22Speaker 2: Love, the real missing ingredient, because our world does not
- 2:04:27Speaker 2: know the value of love. Love is not a feminine thing.
- 2:04:31Speaker 2: It's not just some weak emotional thing. It is the
- 2:04:34Speaker 2: very manifestation of the nature of God.
- 2:04:37Speaker 1: Let me tell you it is beautiful to see a
- 2:04:39Speaker 1: believer that really truly.
- 2:04:42Speaker 2: Has the love of Christ. There are things you will
- 2:04:47Speaker 2: not do to your neighbor. If you have love, you
- 2:04:50Speaker 2: will not rejoice. I don't want to take you to
- 2:04:53Speaker 2: First Corinthians thirteen and show you what the Bible says
- 2:04:56Speaker 2: about love. Though I speak with the tongues of men
- 2:04:59Speaker 2: and of angels, and I have not love. Is that
- 2:05:02Speaker 2: in your Bible? Do I offer my body to be born?
- 2:05:05Speaker 2: Say sacrifice?
- 2:05:06Speaker 7: Uha.
- 2:05:07Speaker 2: Many people have the power and the energy for sacrifice,
- 2:05:11Speaker 2: but the love component is not there. It says, do
- 2:05:13Speaker 2: I have the gift of prophecy and I understand all mysteries?
- 2:05:17Speaker 2: I've not met such a man? And do I have
- 2:05:20Speaker 2: all knowledge?
- 2:05:21Speaker 1: And I have all faith? To move mountains? And I
- 2:05:23Speaker 1: have not love. I am nothing.
- 2:05:26Speaker 2: Verse three, it says, though I best store my goods
- 2:05:29Speaker 2: to feed the poor charity, and I give my body
- 2:05:33Speaker 2: to be born my tired doom, and I do.
- 2:05:36Speaker 1: Not have love.
- 2:05:37Speaker 2: It does not profit me anything. Then it says love
- 2:05:41Speaker 2: is patience. I wish we have new King James.
- 2:05:45Speaker 1: Love is patient, Thank you, suffers long. It is kind.
- 2:05:50Speaker 2: It does not envy. Are you seeing now? So don't
- 2:05:52Speaker 2: say I have love. Check whether you have envy. If
- 2:05:55Speaker 2: envy is there, envy push part of love out to
- 2:05:58Speaker 2: be there, does not parade itself, is not tought of.
- 2:06:04Speaker 2: Verse five, does not behave rudely, does not seek its
- 2:06:09Speaker 2: own self, is not easily provoked or provoked thin cat,
- 2:06:14Speaker 2: no evil. You see that love is also a mentality issue.
- 2:06:19Speaker 1: Verse six.
- 2:06:21Speaker 2: Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth.
- 2:06:25Speaker 1: Verse seven.
- 2:06:27Speaker 2: Bears all things, believes all things. It doesn't mean believe
- 2:06:31Speaker 2: nonsense whatever they bring. I hope you understand that now
- 2:06:35Speaker 2: hopes all things, and Deus all things.
- 2:06:38Speaker 1: This is the character of love.
- 2:06:42Speaker 2: When the love of God is at work in your
- 2:06:44Speaker 2: life and you're a true Christian, the first thing unbelievers
- 2:06:47Speaker 2: want to see is not power. The first thing unbelievers
- 2:06:51Speaker 2: want to see is love. Let me tell you the truth.
- 2:06:54Speaker 2: I have studied church growth and I want to tell
- 2:06:56Speaker 2: you something. This is not a pastor's conference. I don't
- 2:06:58Speaker 2: know why God is going this way, but.
- 2:07:00Speaker 1: Let me tell you one real secret to church growth. Love.
- 2:07:04Speaker 1: You will not hear this tating Bible in perstors conferences. Rather,
- 2:07:08Speaker 1: people can say, you know what, do this.
- 2:07:10Speaker 2: Some of the biggest churches today in the world, with
- 2:07:14Speaker 2: all due respect, are not necessarily power churches. He said,
- 2:07:18Speaker 2: John did no miracles, but there was one testimony he had.
- 2:07:22Speaker 2: He was an honest man. He had love within his heart.
- 2:07:30Speaker 2: I've seen people who are very powerful, and wonder why
- 2:07:34Speaker 2: nobody wants to listen to them. Because human beings are
- 2:07:37Speaker 2: not only looking for power. We have made power look
- 2:07:41Speaker 2: like it is everything. No, there is a place for
- 2:07:44Speaker 2: that that you will be learning. But the first manifestation
- 2:07:48Speaker 2: of the christ like dimension in a man is his nature.
- 2:07:52Speaker 2: Never forget this before you seek power. Seek to be
- 2:07:57Speaker 2: like Christ. By having his love and his character at
- 2:08:02Speaker 2: working you. Then you're being powerful will be valuable. But
- 2:08:06Speaker 2: it is a dangerous thing to pursue power without the
- 2:08:10Speaker 2: nature of God.
- 2:08:11Speaker 1: First, and leaders.
- 2:08:12Speaker 2: When you are mentoring your people, don't be in a
- 2:08:15Speaker 2: hurry to just lay hands and impact people. No, build
- 2:08:19Speaker 2: the nature of Christ in them first. An anointed preacher
- 2:08:23Speaker 2: who does not have the character.
- 2:08:24Speaker 1: Of Christ is a dangerous person. I tell you this.
- 2:08:33Speaker 2: Is the reason why there's a lot of misbehavior with
- 2:08:35Speaker 2: the anointing. For a angry I can speak a course
- 2:08:37Speaker 2: on you anyhow. That is not a power problem. It
- 2:08:41Speaker 2: is a nature of God problem. One time the disciples
- 2:08:45Speaker 2: saw some people and said, should we call down fire
- 2:08:47Speaker 2: like Elijah?
- 2:08:48Speaker 13: This ah?
- 2:08:49Speaker 1: Jesus looked at them and said, do.
- 2:08:50Speaker 2: You not know of whom you have? No, this is
- 2:08:53Speaker 2: another kind of spirit at work in you. Place your
- 2:08:56Speaker 2: hand on your chest and pray one minute. I desire
- 2:08:59Speaker 2: to have the love nature of Christ. Please pray sincerely
- 2:09:03Speaker 2: from your heart. When the love of God is at
- 2:09:07Speaker 2: working you, you do not rejoice over the heart and
- 2:09:09Speaker 2: the pain of others. The body of Christ needs to
- 2:09:13Speaker 2: grow out of this. We rejoice over the heart and
- 2:09:16Speaker 2: the pain of others. No, the christ like formation starts
- 2:09:22Speaker 2: with his love.
- 2:09:24Speaker 1: The love of Jesus.
- 2:09:26Speaker 2: That you hear that someone lost a job in your office,
- 2:09:29Speaker 2: you are not rejoicing and same confirmation or prophecy.
- 2:09:32Speaker 1: I saw it. No, you go back, and how will
- 2:09:37Speaker 1: this man? Now?
- 2:09:38Speaker 2: It is love that should lead us to prayer. It
- 2:09:41Speaker 2: is love that should lead us to Bible study. It
- 2:09:44Speaker 2: is love that should lead us to fasting. Any other
- 2:09:47Speaker 2: thing that leads you aside from love is not of faith.
- 2:09:51Speaker 1: And it is seen.
- 2:09:54Speaker 2: Love must be the reason why I desire growth in
- 2:09:57Speaker 2: my life and in this ministry.
- 2:10:00Speaker 1: Love is not there.
- 2:10:00Speaker 2: The alternative will be competition. The alternative will be envy.
- 2:10:04Speaker 2: The alternative will be jealousy. The alternative will be vain glory.
- 2:10:09Speaker 2: Love is a purifier. It purifies motives.
- 2:10:16Speaker 1: Number two.
- 2:10:23Speaker 2: The first dimension of Christ that must be captured in
- 2:10:27Speaker 2: any man to be spiritual is called his nature, the
- 2:10:31Speaker 2: nature of Christ.
- 2:10:32Speaker 1: Number two.
- 2:10:34Speaker 2: The second dimension of Christ that must be captured in
- 2:10:36Speaker 2: every believer to be called a spiritual man, is called
- 2:10:40Speaker 2: the mind or the wisdom of Christ. So the first
- 2:10:45Speaker 2: is the nature of Christ, the love of Christ. The
- 2:10:50Speaker 2: second dimension is called the mind of Christ. Philippians chapter two, one,
- 2:10:55Speaker 2: verse five.
- 2:10:56Speaker 1: The mind of.
- 2:10:57Speaker 2: Christ, the mind of Christ, the mind of Christ, the wisdom.
- 2:11:05Speaker 2: In fact, I think is it first Corinthians two seven,
- 2:11:09Speaker 2: Or so I hope I got that right.
- 2:11:13Speaker 1: Give it to us. Let's say First Corinthians after two
- 2:11:15Speaker 1: and seven.
- 2:11:17Speaker 2: Yes, the wisdom, the hidden wisdom that God ordained for
- 2:11:21Speaker 2: our glory. I used to think when the Bible says
- 2:11:24Speaker 2: the mind of Christ, it just means the brain of Christ.
- 2:11:28Speaker 2: But the word mind of Christ there does not just
- 2:11:30Speaker 2: mean the mentality of Christ. Is an overall capture of
- 2:11:35Speaker 2: the wisdom of God. One of the ways you manifest
- 2:11:39Speaker 2: Christ is in wisdom. There is something in the Bible
- 2:11:42Speaker 2: called the wisdom of the just. Look one seventeen, the
- 2:11:47Speaker 2: wisdom of the just. Anybody who is in Christ, there
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: is a dimension of wisdom is called the mind of Christ. Transformation,
- 2:11:58Speaker 2: but a manifestation of wisdom. If that wisdom is not
- 2:12:02Speaker 2: captured in your life, you are not a spiritual man.
- 2:12:04Speaker 2: It's like a general that does not know how to
- 2:12:06Speaker 2: shoot a gun?
- 2:12:07Speaker 1: Is that a real general? How did he become a general?
- 2:12:12Speaker 2: Even a young boy graduated from NDA who cannot shoot
- 2:12:16Speaker 2: a gun will not graduate.
- 2:12:18Speaker 1: Are we together.
- 2:12:22Speaker 2: A general that cannot shoot a gon, A football superstar
- 2:12:26Speaker 2: who has never scored when one penalty kick, a policeman
- 2:12:33Speaker 2: who has never made one arrest. No, there is a
- 2:12:38Speaker 2: wisdom component that is required in life.
- 2:12:42Speaker 1: Are we together? Listen?
- 2:12:46Speaker 2: When you believe this, you will cry out for the
- 2:12:49Speaker 2: nature of Christ to be more like him. But then
- 2:12:54Speaker 2: in addition to being like him, you have to justify
- 2:12:57Speaker 2: his nature by supplying to your warded dimension of wisdom
- 2:13:02Speaker 2: they know can only be found in Christ.
- 2:13:04Speaker 1: Are you seeing it now? The first place it affects
- 2:13:07Speaker 1: is your heart.
- 2:13:09Speaker 2: Ah.
- 2:13:10Speaker 1: Then it goes to your mind. Are you seeing that now?
- 2:13:13Speaker 2: Then it goes to your hands, power, your heart purified,
- 2:13:20Speaker 2: You'll become.
- 2:13:20Speaker 1: Like Christ in experience.
- 2:13:25Speaker 2: I shared with you humorously a story many years ago
- 2:13:28Speaker 2: when to look for instruments from a man of God,
- 2:13:31Speaker 2: and after the man was done preaching, preach powerfully. When
- 2:13:34Speaker 2: we met the man, he lambastard and insulted us, use
- 2:13:38Speaker 2: words that even a baby Christian should not use. And
- 2:13:42Speaker 2: at the end of it, I remember it's very very
- 2:13:44Speaker 2: young boys were on our way going back, and I
- 2:13:46Speaker 2: was thinking to myself, what kind of a preacher is this?
- 2:13:49Speaker 1: I'm comparing in my mind too people.
- 2:13:52Speaker 2: One person who minutes ago was turning and shouting, and
- 2:13:55Speaker 2: the other person who stood that was insulting us and
- 2:13:57Speaker 2: calling anything you can remember, And I'm saying, no, this
- 2:14:00Speaker 2: is this ought not to be so. The nature of Christ,
- 2:14:08Speaker 2: and then the wisdom, the wisdom of God. I'm praying
- 2:14:13Speaker 2: for you in the name of Jesus Christ, that the
- 2:14:16Speaker 2: dimension of wisdom that will begin to flow from your
- 2:14:18Speaker 2: life today, it will cause everybody to love God because
- 2:14:22Speaker 2: of you. That the wisdom that you will begin to command,
- 2:14:27Speaker 2: it will produce extraordinary results from your life. You will
- 2:14:33Speaker 2: gain mastery over the mysteries of the Kingdom, and you
- 2:14:36Speaker 2: will engage them with such level of mastery. Your life
- 2:14:39Speaker 2: will be an unending episode of kingdom exploits. You believe that,
- 2:14:44Speaker 2: say amen, It takes wisdom to build an excelling ministry.
- 2:14:51Speaker 2: It takes wisdom to build an excelling career. It takes
- 2:14:55Speaker 2: wisdom to maintain relationships. It takes wisdom to frontier and
- 2:15:00Speaker 2: champion kingdom activities. Behind the mighty works, you see that
- 2:15:05Speaker 2: the Saint's command is the wisdom of God, ordinary men
- 2:15:09Speaker 2: fortified by divine wisdom, wisdom that is not sophia, not
- 2:15:13Speaker 2: just ethnic wisdom, wisdom that is not just sensual and
- 2:15:17Speaker 2: scientific wisdom that is not just demonic or diabolic wisdom
- 2:15:22Speaker 2: that comes from above, pure portent carrying the ability to
- 2:15:28Speaker 2: deliver results. Be tired of your nonproductive nature as a believer,
- 2:15:35Speaker 2: and begin to contend for wisdom.
- 2:15:37Speaker 1: Something is wrong with my life. I love the Lord.
- 2:15:40Speaker 1: Let people not look.
- 2:15:41Speaker 2: At your life and say this man or if he's
- 2:15:43Speaker 2: being a Christian, he loves being he's a child of God,
- 2:15:47Speaker 2: but in terms of kingdom, results don't go to him.
- 2:15:51Speaker 2: He has one hundred percent love and zero wisdom bad decisions,
- 2:16:00Speaker 2: wisdom the wisdom of the just. There is a kind
- 2:16:04Speaker 2: of education believers must have. Your secular education, as powerful
- 2:16:09Speaker 2: as it is, is wonderful, needed, useful, but not enough
- 2:16:14Speaker 2: to produce the kind of God like destiny you seek
- 2:16:16Speaker 2: to produce.
- 2:16:17Speaker 1: Do you know why?
- 2:16:18Speaker 2: The variables that you need to overcome to be successful
- 2:16:22Speaker 2: God's Way are so many, and not all of them
- 2:16:26Speaker 2: are captured in your secular training. You have to be
- 2:16:29Speaker 2: re enlightened, re educated again God's way to equip you
- 2:16:34Speaker 2: with the requisite wisdom to reign as a king and
- 2:16:37Speaker 2: as a priest.
- 2:16:38Speaker 1: That you are Allelujah.
- 2:16:44Speaker 2: Everybody is a wisdom, and wisdom is not just a
- 2:16:47Speaker 2: spiritual thing alone. Wisdom affects your mind the way you think.
- 2:16:52Speaker 2: There is a way you can do the business God
- 2:16:55Speaker 2: has given you.
- 2:16:56Speaker 1: You will see. Let me tell you this.
- 2:16:58Speaker 2: How do you know God's wisdom is at work because
- 2:17:01Speaker 2: you will see God's dimension of results through your decisions.
- 2:17:05Speaker 2: The moment your decisions are still producing human results. You
- 2:17:08Speaker 2: have not brought God's wisdom. I tell you, extraordinary, undeniable
- 2:17:16Speaker 2: walks by the hand of God.
- 2:17:18Speaker 1: That is wisdom for you.
- 2:17:24Speaker 2: Wisdom in ministry, wisdom in business, wisdom in your marriage,
- 2:17:30Speaker 2: wisdom in how you are raising your children, Wisdom in
- 2:17:33Speaker 2: how you are dealing with your finances, wisdom in leadership,
- 2:17:36Speaker 2: how you are raising the people you are raising. You
- 2:17:40Speaker 2: see that now something happens to people when they become
- 2:17:44Speaker 2: wise onto godliness, not ex wisdom, not smartness, not wisdom
- 2:17:50Speaker 2: that manipulates someone comfort two thousand and you say you
- 2:17:53Speaker 2: are smart. No, that is demonic, diabolic wisdom. There is
- 2:17:58Speaker 2: the wisdom that puts you in a class, a class
- 2:18:01Speaker 2: that it will be clear that is God that kept
- 2:18:03Speaker 2: you here. My God, I have still careers of this
- 2:18:06Speaker 2: wisdom in my life. I've had the honor to meet
- 2:18:08Speaker 2: a few of them. And when I do, for the
- 2:18:11Speaker 2: times that have I cry for an importation of that wisdom.
- 2:18:16Speaker 2: The wisdom that comes from above. There is the gift
- 2:18:20Speaker 2: of wisdom. There is the spirit of wisdom. You will
- 2:18:29Speaker 2: never be able to do any work of the kingdom
- 2:18:32Speaker 2: and excel except you have wisdom. So number one the
- 2:18:36Speaker 2: nature of God. Number two the mind of Christ. Are
- 2:18:39Speaker 2: you ready for Number three? I will give you this
- 2:18:42Speaker 2: and then will pray to end the service tonight. The
- 2:18:45Speaker 2: spiritual man. The third dimension of the reflection of Christ
- 2:18:51Speaker 2: that must be captured in the believer is called.
- 2:18:54Speaker 1: The walks of Christ.
- 2:18:56Speaker 2: So here we have the nature or character of Christ.
- 2:19:02Speaker 2: Number two we have the mind slash wisdom of Christ.
- 2:19:06Speaker 2: And then the final phase.
- 2:19:08Speaker 1: Are the works of Christ. At ten thirty eight, how
- 2:19:14Speaker 1: God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and
- 2:19:18Speaker 1: with power, with power, with power. When it has to
- 2:19:22Speaker 1: do with the works, you see power has been introduced.
- 2:19:24Speaker 1: Now power.
- 2:19:27Speaker 2: Who went about doing good? It didn't say who went
- 2:19:31Speaker 2: about organizing programs. He went about doing good as a lifestyle.
- 2:19:37Speaker 2: The works of Christ doing good. This is beyond just charity,
- 2:19:42Speaker 2: doing good, bringing life, becoming like a river that everywhere
- 2:19:46Speaker 2: you flow to life happens for the people, healing all
- 2:19:51Speaker 2: who were oppressed of the devil. Notice three words that
- 2:19:56Speaker 2: you should not forget when it has to do with
- 2:19:58Speaker 2: the works of Christ. The Holy Spirit, power Satan, the
- 2:20:06Speaker 2: Holy Spirit who brings the power, and that power is
- 2:20:10Speaker 2: primarily against the demonic activities that assaults the saints.
- 2:20:18Speaker 1: The works of Christ. In John chapter twenty and verse
- 2:20:23Speaker 1: twenty one.
- 2:20:25Speaker 2: John chapter twenty and verse twenty one, please give it
- 2:20:28Speaker 2: to us John twenty and.
- 2:20:30Speaker 1: Verse twenty one. Do we have that? John twenty and
- 2:20:39Speaker 1: verse twenty one. So Jesus said, unto.
- 2:20:43Speaker 2: Them again, Peace to you, as the Father has sent me,
- 2:20:48Speaker 2: my God, as the Father has sent me. He did
- 2:20:53Speaker 2: not just send me to reveal his nature. He sent
- 2:20:57Speaker 2: me to reveal his power. When Jesus went to the
- 2:21:00Speaker 2: temple to read the Messianic prophecy, he opened it and
- 2:21:04Speaker 2: he said, the spirit of the Lord is upon me.
- 2:21:06Speaker 2: Because he had annoyted me to preach god tithings to
- 2:21:11Speaker 2: the poor or the milk. He had sent me to
- 2:21:13Speaker 2: bind up the broken hearted. You are wondering what the
- 2:21:16Speaker 2: works of Christ are this. I'm listening for you to
- 2:21:19Speaker 2: bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives,
- 2:21:24Speaker 2: the recovery of sight to the blind, to set at
- 2:21:27Speaker 2: liberty them that are oppressed the works of Christ. If
- 2:21:32Speaker 2: you want to be a reflection of the Christ as
- 2:21:35Speaker 2: a spiritual man, you have the character of Christ, the
- 2:21:40Speaker 2: wisdom of Christ, but you need the works of Christ.
- 2:21:45Speaker 1: And this is where the value of your annointing comes.
- 2:21:48Speaker 2: When the sick healed supernaturally to the glory of God,
- 2:21:53Speaker 2: that's the works of Christ. When you reach down to
- 2:21:55Speaker 2: the poor and the needy, and by helping them to
- 2:21:59Speaker 2: supply help and aid, and then teaching them the principles.
- 2:22:03Speaker 1: That empower them, that is the works of Christ.
- 2:22:06Speaker 2: When you become light upon the earth, salt upon the earth, light,
- 2:22:11Speaker 2: you see that the works of Christ.
- 2:22:13Speaker 1: There are many believers who do.
- 2:22:16Speaker 2: Not want to contend for this dimension of power to
- 2:22:19Speaker 2: do the works of Christ. It is the nature of
- 2:22:22Speaker 2: Christ plus the wisdom of Christ plus the works of
- 2:22:27Speaker 2: Christ that represents the fullness of Christ at working a believer.
- 2:22:32Speaker 1: Let me take that again, the nature.
- 2:22:34Speaker 2: Or the character of Christ plus the wisdom, the mind
- 2:22:39Speaker 2: of Christ, plus the works of Christ extraordinary exploits by
- 2:22:46Speaker 2: the spirit and through the world.
- 2:22:48Speaker 1: When these treat.
- 2:22:49Speaker 2: Dimensions are captured in your life, you are truly a
- 2:22:52Speaker 2: spiritual man. A spiritual man. Therefore, It's not just a
- 2:22:57Speaker 2: man who loves to study the by It's not just
- 2:23:02Speaker 2: a man who loves to pray. It's not just a
- 2:23:04Speaker 2: man who loves to go to church.
- 2:23:06Speaker 1: Is not just a man who wants to serve God
- 2:23:08Speaker 1: in ministry.
- 2:23:09Speaker 2: A spiritual a man you can safely summarize it as
- 2:23:13Speaker 2: one who has worked with the Spirit of God to
- 2:23:17Speaker 2: be able to embrace and inculcate within himself in experience
- 2:23:23Speaker 2: the nature of Christ, who is manifesting by submission to
- 2:23:28Speaker 2: the world. You see that the wisdom of Christ, and who,
- 2:23:34Speaker 2: by the spirit of Grace, is demonstrating and manifesting the
- 2:23:39Speaker 2: works of Christ, the chiefest of them being the work
- 2:23:42Speaker 2: of global evangelization bringing many to Christ. Because according to scripture,
- 2:23:48Speaker 2: God desires that all men be saved and then to
- 2:23:52Speaker 2: come onto the knowledge of the Son.
- 2:23:58Speaker 1: Tonight.
- 2:23:59Speaker 2: There are three category of people in this place. Number one,
- 2:24:03Speaker 2: those who have never been saved on regenerate. They have
- 2:24:07Speaker 2: not met Jesus. They've been at crusades, they've been at churches,
- 2:24:11Speaker 2: they have Christian names borne from Christian families, related to
- 2:24:15Speaker 2: men and women of God, but they have never made
- 2:24:18Speaker 2: this decision for Jesus. Number Two, there are believers who
- 2:24:22Speaker 2: are barely saved and have remained without an intention to
- 2:24:26Speaker 2: grow using the parameters that have given you. They are
- 2:24:31Speaker 2: just out of that list that I gave you for
- 2:24:33Speaker 2: a spiritual man. It is only one over five.
- 2:24:35Speaker 1: They have.
- 2:24:36Speaker 2: Their only justification is that they are saved, but they
- 2:24:41Speaker 2: have not submitted. They have not encountered the person of
- 2:24:45Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit, nor are they interested. They have not
- 2:24:49Speaker 2: encountered the logos of God, the thoughts of God, and
- 2:24:53Speaker 2: they are not willing to submit to the spirit of God.
- 2:24:56Speaker 2: They are not willing to submit to transformation by the
- 2:24:59Speaker 2: Word of God. And then we have this third category.
- 2:25:04Speaker 2: And there is no graduation in this third category. You
- 2:25:08Speaker 2: never get to a point where you say, I am
- 2:25:10Speaker 2: don't becoming a spiritual man. No, it is a BAM
- 2:25:13Speaker 2: measured upon a BAM measured by the time you cover grounds.
- 2:25:17Speaker 2: In spirituality, God opens up another layer and you see
- 2:25:21Speaker 2: that there is still.
- 2:25:21Speaker 1: More of his nature that needs to be formed.
- 2:25:24Speaker 2: There is still more of his wisdom that needs to
- 2:25:27Speaker 2: manifest through you. There is still more of his power
- 2:25:30Speaker 2: that needs to be revealed. By the time you cover
- 2:25:32Speaker 2: grounds after ten years, he commends you, and then he
- 2:25:36Speaker 2: gives you a greater charge to become like Him in
- 2:25:39Speaker 2: a greater way. Let me tell you the truth, for anyone,
- 2:25:43Speaker 2: including you, including me, who will contend by the spirit,
- 2:25:47Speaker 2: that from today I will see to it that I
- 2:25:50Speaker 2: would take advantage of the life of God that I
- 2:25:52Speaker 2: already have, and allow the Spirit of God, the world
- 2:25:56Speaker 2: of God, through all the activities of prayer, fasting the word, study,
- 2:26:01Speaker 2: engaging in mentorship, that I will allow by the Spirit
- 2:26:06Speaker 2: the full formation of the nature of God in my life,
- 2:26:10Speaker 2: that love Nature reflected in the fruit of the Spirit.
- 2:26:15Speaker 1: And then the wisdom of God.
- 2:26:17Speaker 2: The mind of Christ is superior transformed mentality, a god
- 2:26:22Speaker 2: like mentality producing godlike dimensions of results.
- 2:26:27Speaker 1: And then for the power of.
- 2:26:29Speaker 2: God, that for as long as I'm a life through
- 2:26:32Speaker 2: my words, through my hands, many will see Christ at work,
- 2:26:38Speaker 2: a display of His power, dom founding principalities and powers.
- 2:26:43Speaker 2: That under my watch there will be no untimely death
- 2:26:47Speaker 2: in my family. Again, that under my watch it will
- 2:26:50Speaker 2: never be that people are desirous of a job or
- 2:26:53Speaker 2: whatever to do. No, you come there as the manifestation
- 2:26:57Speaker 2: of the Christ. You don't just say things you cannot defend.
- 2:27:02Speaker 2: You can gather your family and tell them I've found
- 2:27:05Speaker 2: a way this family can become a great reflection of Christ,
- 2:27:09Speaker 2: and they say, how you will tell them? Number one,
- 2:27:11Speaker 2: the nature of Christ can superimpose all these demonic manifestation,
- 2:27:17Speaker 2: these habits.
- 2:27:17Speaker 1: And challenges that misrepresent Christ.
- 2:27:20Speaker 2: Number two, by transformation, the mind of Christ can find
- 2:27:25Speaker 2: the expression in and through our lives, communicating the wisdom
- 2:27:29Speaker 2: of God, commanding Mighty walks through it. And number three,
- 2:27:33Speaker 2: by the supernatural and gracing of the spirit, I can
- 2:27:37Speaker 2: get to a point where I attain on to power,
- 2:27:40Speaker 2: genuine spiritual power. I believe in the power of God,
- 2:27:50Speaker 2: but I believe that in order of priority, the nature
- 2:27:54Speaker 2: of God is greater than his power. It is true,
- 2:27:59Speaker 2: if you are answered to choose between the power of
- 2:28:01Speaker 2: God and the nature of God, it is wise to
- 2:28:05Speaker 2: choose the nature of God, because.
- 2:28:07Speaker 1: It is impossible to truly have the nature of God
- 2:28:10Speaker 1: and not eventually manifest His power. Are we together?
- 2:28:16Speaker 2: So if you've had it the other way around, Unfortunately,
- 2:28:20Speaker 2: you see all these three dimensions. We have communicated part
- 2:28:25Speaker 2: of them, and we call our communications of part of
- 2:28:29Speaker 2: them denominations.
- 2:28:31Speaker 1: They only represent our emphasis.
- 2:28:33Speaker 2: So there are those who come around the nature of
- 2:28:37Speaker 2: Christ and that becomes their definition. With all due respect
- 2:28:42Speaker 2: of the fullness of Christ, that is inaccurate. There are
- 2:28:46Speaker 2: those who don't care about the.
- 2:28:47Speaker 1: Nature of Christ.
- 2:28:48Speaker 2: They are especially the teaching ministry, the wisdom of Christ.
- 2:28:53Speaker 2: And you find people manifesting dimensions of wisdom without the
- 2:28:57Speaker 2: corresponding character. And then we have another group that all
- 2:29:03Speaker 2: there is is power and the charismatic gifts of the Spirit.
- 2:29:07Speaker 2: It doesn't matter whether you are a criminal, it doesn't
- 2:29:10Speaker 2: matter whether you are a devil. Once the gifts of
- 2:29:12Speaker 2: the Spirit can flow. That's not the way it's supposed
- 2:29:15Speaker 2: to be. This is the correct arrangement. The nature of
- 2:29:19Speaker 2: the Christ, the mind, the wisdom of the Christ, the
- 2:29:24Speaker 2: power of the Christ, the works of Christ. This is
- 2:29:29Speaker 2: what represents the fullness of God's nature. And this is
- 2:29:32Speaker 2: what Paul was telling the church in Ephisos, that it
- 2:29:35Speaker 2: is to this end that God went through all that
- 2:29:38Speaker 2: labor to give on to some apostles and prophets and
- 2:29:44Speaker 2: evangelists and teach us away together and past us. Why
- 2:29:49Speaker 2: to be able to help the body of Christ manifest
- 2:29:53Speaker 2: in its fullness the nature of Christ, manifest the wisdom
- 2:29:58Speaker 2: of Christ, and manifest the power of Christ.
- 2:30:01Speaker 1: And let me tell you honestly, before we round up.
- 2:30:04Speaker 2: You will seldom be giving an assignment to complete or
- 2:30:08Speaker 2: manifest all these three by yourself. No, usually there are
- 2:30:13Speaker 2: portions of these dimensions given to us.
- 2:30:17Speaker 1: The whole job is.
- 2:30:18Speaker 2: Supposed to be done by a corporate body, not only
- 2:30:22Speaker 2: one person.
- 2:30:24Speaker 1: So if you have a rich understanding of the nature
- 2:30:27Speaker 1: of Christ and you stop there, you will rob.
- 2:30:29Speaker 2: People from manifesting the wisdom of Christ and doing the
- 2:30:34Speaker 2: works of Christ.
- 2:30:37Speaker 1: You see that.
- 2:30:38Speaker 2: That is the reason why it is a dangerous thing
- 2:30:42Speaker 2: when the body of Christ fights itself. This is what
- 2:30:44Speaker 2: we're fighting. The believer who only manifests the nature of
- 2:30:50Speaker 2: Christ will never manifest the fullness of Christ. The believer
- 2:30:54Speaker 2: who manifest only the wisdom of Christ will draw people
- 2:30:58Speaker 2: to him. But lack of the nature of Christ will
- 2:31:02Speaker 2: even bring a bigger betrayal to the name of Christ.
- 2:31:05Speaker 2: Because you will be like that tree. You attract people
- 2:31:08Speaker 2: by your wisdom, but when they come, because you say,
- 2:31:11Speaker 2: proximity reveals the moment you come close, you will see ah, no, now,
- 2:31:16Speaker 2: not again.
- 2:31:18Speaker 1: And if all you have is the power of.
- 2:31:20Speaker 2: God, the greatest misrepresentation of the Christ will come from
- 2:31:25Speaker 2: manifesting his power without his wisdom and without his nature,
- 2:31:30Speaker 2: that is dangerous.
- 2:31:31Speaker 1: Because of this tree.
- 2:31:32Speaker 2: The one that has the most attraction is the power dimension.
- 2:31:37Speaker 1: So it will bring multitudes.
- 2:31:40Speaker 2: And you find out you are bankrupt of wisdom, but
- 2:31:43Speaker 2: sadly bankrupt of His nature. So in mentoring believers, you
- 2:31:48Speaker 2: don't start with power. You don't start with wisdom. Discipleship
- 2:31:52Speaker 2: one O one, the labor of building the character of
- 2:31:56Speaker 2: Christ in people, then the wisdom of Christ Christ, then
- 2:32:01Speaker 2: the power of Christ.
- 2:32:03Speaker 1: You have raised a mighty army for Jesus. Are you
- 2:32:06Speaker 1: ready to pray? Lets rise upon your feet. Thank you.
- 2:32:28Speaker 1: We're going to pray as we wrap up that. Even
- 2:32:32Speaker 1: for people who God.
- 2:32:33Speaker 2: Has helped to be spiritual, there are various dimensions of
- 2:32:38Speaker 2: these formations of Christ in us. There are people the
- 2:32:42Speaker 2: richest dimension of the formation of Christ in you is
- 2:32:45Speaker 2: his wisdom, not his character. There are those the richest
- 2:32:49Speaker 2: formation of the Christ in you. It's not like the
- 2:32:51Speaker 2: nature is not there, but it's not rich enough to
- 2:32:54Speaker 2: bring glory to Christ. God is calling us tonight to
- 2:32:58Speaker 2: adjust these various for the one who has the power
- 2:33:02Speaker 2: of God more than character, more than wisdom.
- 2:33:06Speaker 1: God is calling you to step up this too.
- 2:33:08Speaker 2: Don't just perform miracles, don't just prophesigh there is room
- 2:33:12Speaker 2: to know the world of God and have an understanding
- 2:33:15Speaker 2: of scripture. You're antidoe to error, but more importantly the
- 2:33:19Speaker 2: nature of Christ. That the closer people come to you,
- 2:33:23Speaker 2: they will truly see that you're a representation of Christ.
- 2:33:26Speaker 2: Imagine you having a rich manifestation of His nature and character, inexperience,
- 2:33:32Speaker 2: having sound wisdom, understanding the ways of God, that the
- 2:33:37Speaker 2: moment you open your mouth is wisdom that is communicated,
- 2:33:41Speaker 2: and then having the faculty to defend the things that
- 2:33:44Speaker 2: you propose through wisdom, that you have power. You are
- 2:33:47Speaker 2: not deficient of spiritual power. That's going to be your prayer.
- 2:33:51Speaker 2: Please open your mouth and pray. You know what area
- 2:33:54Speaker 2: is deficient in your life. Take the next few minutes
- 2:33:57Speaker 2: to cry before God Lord and praying work upon my character.
- 2:34:03Speaker 2: Let the nation see you when they see me. Someone
- 2:34:06Speaker 2: is praying online. Make sure you are praying. I desire
- 2:34:10Speaker 2: a richer manifestation of the nature of Christ. The attributes
- 2:34:15Speaker 2: of the flesh that misrepresent God in my life. Someone
- 2:34:18Speaker 2: is praying that they die and give room for the
- 2:34:23Speaker 2: Christ to be seen. Pray for those who have done
- 2:34:30Speaker 2: a good job allowing the fruit of the spirit manifest.
- 2:34:35Speaker 2: The fruits of the spirit is important, but you need
- 2:34:38Speaker 2: in addition.
- 2:34:38Speaker 1: To eat wisdom. Many people lack wisdom.
- 2:34:42Speaker 2: They are born again, they are sincere Christians, but they
- 2:34:45Speaker 2: are poor, they are broke. They cannot build any organization,
- 2:34:50Speaker 2: they cannot build any ministry, they can't build anything. They
- 2:34:54Speaker 2: can't build their children. The problem is not lack of character.
- 2:34:58Speaker 2: The problem is lack of wisdom. Any time you do
- 2:35:01Speaker 2: not have the power to build anything that lasts is
- 2:35:04Speaker 2: a wisdom problem. Go ahead and pray. And there are
- 2:35:10Speaker 2: those who have wisdom. When you listen to them, they
- 2:35:14Speaker 2: say a lot of intelligent things, but there's no demonstration
- 2:35:19Speaker 2: of the spirit. We can talk about healing, but then
- 2:35:25Speaker 2: the sick can never heal. Talk about liberty, we can
- 2:35:29Speaker 2: teach intelligently about liberty, but the performance dimension of God
- 2:35:34Speaker 2: is not there in their life. Please go ahead and pray.
- 2:35:39Speaker 2: Oh Salvation has come, salvag.
- 2:36:00Speaker 12: O redemn shust, come, oh.
- 2:36:11Speaker 1: Re damn shun hust.
- 2:36:13Speaker 12: Come, Oh.
- 2:36:20Speaker 1: Freeddom hust, come, Oh.
- 2:36:29Speaker 5: Free of us.
- 2:36:32Speaker 1: Come, I.
- 2:36:38Speaker 14: Ebendisa abodysa, I abendies a my heal uscome.
- 2:36:56Speaker 2: Delieve runs has come are you prayed ten more seconds? Father,
- 2:37:13Speaker 2: your nature, the character of the Christ. Pray against everything
- 2:37:20Speaker 2: you know, anger, lost, jealousy, bitterness, rage.
- 2:37:28Speaker 1: Don't keep quiet. Everything that fights the nature of Christ
- 2:37:33Speaker 1: should be your project in this prayer. Let it die,
- 2:37:37Speaker 1: Let it die, Let it die the name of Jesus,
- 2:37:42Speaker 1: that when men see me, the first thing they see
- 2:37:46Speaker 1: is the nature and the character of Christ. Love, kindness, joy.
- 2:38:02Speaker 1: Now pray for wisdom. That's the reason you are not
- 2:38:07Speaker 1: able to build anything, not your finances, not your business,
- 2:38:12Speaker 1: not your ministry. Every time you cannot build, it's a
- 2:38:17Speaker 1: wisdom problem. It may not be a character problem, a
- 2:38:21Speaker 1: wisdom problem. It is by wisdom. A house is built.
- 2:38:25Speaker 1: It is by wisdom, and destiny is built. It's by wisdom,
- 2:38:29Speaker 1: and ministry is built. Every time you do not build
- 2:38:33Speaker 1: to excel, you do not build to last. The wisdom
- 2:38:37Speaker 1: of Christ is deficient in you.
- 2:38:43Speaker 2: Some money spraying paratos kaddish la parus allelujah, Please go
- 2:39:00Speaker 2: and listen to this station again. That the signatural attestations
- 2:39:07Speaker 2: to your being a spiritual a man is that you
- 2:39:10Speaker 2: must reflect Christ in his fullness, and that in reflecting
- 2:39:15Speaker 2: Christ to his fullness, there are three compartments his nature,
- 2:39:20Speaker 2: his character, the fruit of the spirit, the recreated human
- 2:39:26Speaker 2: spirit who is yielded to the Holy Spirit who produce
- 2:39:29Speaker 2: these fruits. And then his wisdom, the empowerment to build
- 2:39:35Speaker 2: anything that brings glory to Christ, sponsored by wisdom, the
- 2:39:40Speaker 2: quality of your decisions, the superiority of your understanding, the
- 2:39:45Speaker 2: dexterity of your thinking wisdom. And then the power of God,
- 2:39:50Speaker 2: the ability to demonstrate Christ here and now, to bring
- 2:39:54Speaker 2: heavenly reality to be made manifest supernaturally. So it is
- 2:40:00Speaker 2: impossible to work these three things and not truly reflect Christ.
- 2:40:08Speaker 2: The fullness of Christ is not a mystery. It is
- 2:40:11Speaker 2: the nature of Christ at working you, plus the wisdom
- 2:40:17Speaker 2: of the Christ, the mind of Christ richly formed in
- 2:40:21Speaker 2: you in ever increasing measure, plus the power of God
- 2:40:26Speaker 2: finding expression. So the next time you go to the
- 2:40:30Speaker 2: place of prayer and you say, Lord, I want to
- 2:40:33Speaker 2: become like you, you are now not praying a big prayer.
- 2:40:36Speaker 1: You know what you are praying, a greater.
- 2:40:38Speaker 2: Formation of your nature, a greater importation of your wisdom,
- 2:40:43Speaker 2: a greater manifestation of your power. You see, you are
- 2:40:48Speaker 2: now praying profitably. When you open your Bible and you
- 2:40:51Speaker 2: are studying. This is still what you are becoming. The
- 2:40:54Speaker 2: next time you say I want to become like Christ,
- 2:40:57Speaker 2: you can help correct someone's on thee so that that
- 2:41:01Speaker 2: becoming like Christ does not become abstract to the average believer.
- 2:41:05Speaker 2: When they say I want to become like Christ, they
- 2:41:08Speaker 2: don't even have your picture. I have given definition to
- 2:41:13Speaker 2: that abstract concept. It is the nature of the Christ,
- 2:41:18Speaker 2: the mind, the wisdom of the Christ, and the power
- 2:41:21Speaker 2: of the Christ enabling you to do the works of Christ.
- 2:41:25Speaker 2: This is what is captured in the fullness of Christ.
- 2:41:29Speaker 2: For every conference you will attend, for every church service,
- 2:41:34Speaker 2: for every message you will listen to, for every prayer program,
- 2:41:38Speaker 2: every fasting program, every word study program, every book you
- 2:41:42Speaker 2: will buy and read, I want you to interpret everything
- 2:41:46Speaker 2: from the lens of this journey. This is your journey
- 2:41:49Speaker 2: with the Spirit. This is your journey with God. Lift
- 2:41:51Speaker 2: your hands, Father, I pray for your people in the
- 2:41:56Speaker 2: name that is above all names, the grace to allow
- 2:42:00Speaker 2: that life of Christ that they received at the point
- 2:42:04Speaker 2: of salvation, the grace to allow this find expression and praying.
- 2:42:09Speaker 1: May that grace rest upon you.
- 2:42:13Speaker 2: Number two, for those who have manifested the nature of
- 2:42:18Speaker 2: Christ in such a rich way, but you've not been
- 2:42:20Speaker 2: able to build anything in your life, the matters that
- 2:42:24Speaker 2: make for life. You are defeated there, completely defeated in
- 2:42:28Speaker 2: your finances.
- 2:42:29Speaker 1: Defeated in leadership.
- 2:42:31Speaker 2: You've not been able to raise anybody or do anything
- 2:42:34Speaker 2: great for the kingdom. And praying for you as you
- 2:42:37Speaker 2: begin to journey through the world, May authentic wisdom be
- 2:42:40Speaker 2: impattered upon you. Number three, I'm praying for those who
- 2:42:47Speaker 2: are getting frustrated by saying.
- 2:42:50Speaker 1: The many things God can do as.
- 2:42:52Speaker 2: Revealed by wisdom, but not able to demonstrate it here
- 2:42:56Speaker 2: and now in your life, not the life of those.
- 2:42:59Speaker 1: Who trust you.
- 2:43:00Speaker 2: I'm praying for you this missing power component that will
- 2:43:04Speaker 2: help you do the works of Christ.
- 2:43:06Speaker 1: Let it rest upon you now in the name of Jesus.
- 2:43:12Speaker 1: For everyone.
- 2:43:15Speaker 2: Who is struggling with the flesh, attributes of the flesh, anger, jealousy, competition,
- 2:43:25Speaker 2: all the things that keep misrepresenting your knowing God, I'm
- 2:43:29Speaker 2: praying for you the spirit that is behind that programming.
- 2:43:33Speaker 1: I cost it right now, I cast it right.
- 2:43:38Speaker 2: Now in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus,
- 2:43:45Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus. Finally, I pray for you
- 2:43:49Speaker 2: the next time someone is looking to see who God is,
- 2:43:53Speaker 2: may God send you to them as a representation of
- 2:43:57Speaker 2: the image of the Christ.
- 2:43:59Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ.
- 2:44:04Speaker 2: Thank you Father, Thank you Father. Please, I want to
- 2:44:08Speaker 2: encourage you go back home. Take this as an instruction.
- 2:44:13Speaker 2: Listen to this message again. Don't assume you understood everything
- 2:44:17Speaker 2: I said. Stay with the spirit of grace, absorb it
- 2:44:21Speaker 2: into your spirit. And you find someone who is confused
- 2:44:25Speaker 2: about your spiritual journey, you don't have the time to
- 2:44:27Speaker 2: explain all this. Just give the person this message and say,
- 2:44:30Speaker 2: listen to this message the spiritual man, be patient and
- 2:44:34Speaker 2: follow through the thoughts, and then you will see that indeed,
- 2:44:38Speaker 2: becoming like Christ is not abstract.
- 2:44:40Speaker 1: There is a.
- 2:44:41Speaker 2: Guided pathway that can help men become like Christ. You
- 2:44:45Speaker 2: are here and you need Jesus Christ. Please allow me
- 2:44:48Speaker 2: make the altar call while we're still standing. Remember I
- 2:44:51Speaker 2: told you the first transition from a natural man to
- 2:44:56Speaker 2: a believer. In fact, before we even talk about a
- 2:44:59Speaker 2: spiritual man, is you encounter with Christ. Do not allow
- 2:45:03Speaker 2: this meeting end without your making this decision. And for
- 2:45:08Speaker 2: the sake of one or two persons that whilst you
- 2:45:10Speaker 2: were listening to me, you said, Apostle. In truth, I
- 2:45:14Speaker 2: have not made this decision or you are saying I
- 2:45:16Speaker 2: want to re dedicate my life.
- 2:45:18Speaker 1: I'm going to count one to five, and I'll need
- 2:45:20Speaker 1: you to be fast on this because of our time.
- 2:45:23Speaker 2: Pick your bibles, your bags, everything you brought to church.
- 2:45:27Speaker 2: Please be on your way as I begin to count.
- 2:45:29Speaker 2: Come right in front of me. By now you should
- 2:45:32Speaker 2: know that you don't need cajolie. We're talking Jesus here
- 2:45:35Speaker 2: and your destiny.
- 2:45:36Speaker 1: I begin my accounting now. One. Let's appreciate them as
- 2:45:39Speaker 1: they come. God bless you, your bags, your bible, please
- 2:45:43Speaker 1: stand for sake of s face. God bless you stand
- 2:45:45Speaker 1: co and on you're less. Celebrate them as they come.
- 2:45:50Speaker 1: I will go back. Can't go back to the way
- 2:45:55Speaker 1: it used to be before your presence came and change me.
- 2:46:03Speaker 12: I don't go back, can't go back to you the
- 2:46:08Speaker 12: way it is to be before your present came.
- 2:46:14Speaker 1: Keep coming one more time. I don't go back, can
- 2:46:20Speaker 1: go back. If you're joining them, please come quickly. I'm
- 2:46:32Speaker 1: about to lead them to pray.
