- 0:00Give him glory, shout, clap, jump, do whatever you're able to
- 0:04do. You are victorious, victorious,
- 0:09victorious, victorious. In the name.
- 0:13Of Jesus victorious. Hallelujah.
- 0:21Say I'm victorious. Believe what you're saying.
- 0:25Say I am victorious. No, this is no blind confession.
- 0:29You are victorious. It's true, he says thanks be to
- 0:35God, which causes us always, not sometimes, not once in a while.
- 0:41Don't mind the devil shout, I am victorious.
- 0:46Hallelujah. Now would you lift your hands
- 0:50right above your head and just thank him for his presence?
- 0:55We are truly victorious. He's shown us the way we found
- 1:00our way to victory. Lift your hands above your head
- 1:04and acknowledge the victorious 1.
- 1:08Lord, we bless you. Jesus is his name.
- 1:14Sing that song for me again. Jesus, you make the darkness
- 1:17tremble. You.
- 1:27Silence. Fear.
- 1:42One more time. Jesus, Jesus, silence me.
- 1:54Jesus, you made the darkness tremble.
- 2:04Oh Jesus, Jesus, silence me. Spirit of the living God, we
- 2:13thank you. Thank you.
- 2:14Thank you for glorifying Jesus in this place tonight.
- 2:19Thank you for the many across the nations of the earth who are
- 2:22connected tonight. Thank you for this atmosphere of
- 2:25worship, this atmosphere of glory, this atmosphere of your
- 2:29presence. Thank you because we are being
- 2:31changed and we will yet be changed again.
- 2:34We have come tonight submitting to your wisdom as always.
- 2:38We have come tonight submitting to the supremacy of Your Word,
- 2:42to the influence of Your Spirit. We immerse ourselves under the
- 2:46influence of Your glory, and we ask that you will change us
- 2:50tonight, transform us tonight, build us tonight, renew us
- 2:55tonight, empower us tonight, refresh us tonight, advance us
- 3:01tonight for some restore us tonight.
- 3:05In the name of Jesus. Now that this is the third month
- 3:09March, the Bible says after two days he will revive us and on
- 3:13the third day he will raise us up.
- 3:15Let this be a season of rising up to higher dimensions in the
- 3:20spirit, rising up to higher levels in destiny.
- 3:24We vow as always to give it a glory.
- 3:27In Jesus mighty name we pray, walk up to 2345678910 people,
- 3:35greet them and tell them it's good to see you in church.
- 3:38Make sure you do that joyfully, generously, truthfully.
- 3:43God bless you. Thereafter you may be gloriously
- 3:45seated. Hallelujah, right, so you can
- 3:53please have your seat. Welcome to church.
- 3:55This is Koinonia on behalf of Jesus, the head of the church,
- 4:02the apostle over this vision. I once again welcome everyone to
- 4:06service and to our family following us online.
- 4:11We're ready for the word. God has given us a grace to
- 4:14disciple the nation's. So call everybody you want to
- 4:17listen to what God has to say tonight.
- 4:20Tonight is one of such teachings that will demand you not just
- 4:24hearing it alone, but calling on as many as you truly love so
- 4:30that you can all together be edified.
- 4:34And if you're able to reach out to someone, please go ahead.
- 4:38Make that fast. And then we'll trust God for an
- 4:41amazing time tonight. And it's in Jesus name we pray
- 4:45Hallelujah. Now just as always, 2-3
- 4:52functions and then we'll get very quickly.
- 4:56I'm excited about what God is going to be showing us tonight
- 5:01and it is always a joy when I bring God's Word to us.
- 5:06The reason is because it is under the influence of His Word
- 5:11that we are changed. His Word in partnership with His
- 5:14Spirit becomes our secret for next levels, new dimensions and
- 5:20the Lord will help us tonight in Jesus name.
- 5:23Just a quick announcement as a final reminder to all the
- 5:26workers, our retreat will be on Saturday.
- 5:29Please take note your heads of department to get the details
- 5:33across. But just one final reminder,
- 5:36this is for Koinonia, Abuja. Praise the name of the Lord.
- 5:40Then to remind us one last time that the Lord gave me an
- 5:44instruction last month to dedicate the third Sundays for
- 5:51the next three months to have a moment of worship and warfare.
- 5:56So March the 3rd, Sunday of March, that would be March 15th,
- 6:03April 19th, and May 17th. I believe those three sessions
- 6:08will be dedicated, will be bringing in great prophetic
- 6:12worshippers, and we'll just have a time of uncensored worship.
- 6:16Every time God gives an instruction like this, it is
- 6:19because He wants to do something very definite.
- 6:22And by God's grace we'll be having a great time by the 15th
- 6:27of March. We'll start off with minister,
- 6:29don't sing. He will come with his team and
- 6:32it will be an awesome time. So invite everybody and of
- 6:37course you'll be live. So everyone you connect, make
- 6:41sure you are ready to press in and let's trust God for a great
- 6:44time in Jesus name. Are you ready for tonight?
- 6:48Right. So I was thinking through a lot
- 6:52of things in the course of the week and just thinking about the
- 6:57privilege God has given me to help the body of Christ
- 7:03understand the ways of victory, understand the life of the
- 7:06Spirit and the ways of dominion, inexperience.
- 7:11And I was overwhelmed with gratitude.
- 7:14And I I was reminded again by the Spirit of God, the statement
- 7:19that he impressed upon my spirit.
- 7:22And I think I shared that once, twice here, but I want to start
- 7:25with that statement. The greatest fruit of
- 7:29discipleship is a balanced Christian life that reflects the
- 7:36nature of Christ, the wisdom of Christ and the power of Christ.
- 7:43The greatest proof, or the greatest blessing really, fruit
- 7:49of discipleship, meaning when you submitted people through a
- 7:56methodical process of growth and transformation as the Bible
- 8:00mandates, the greatest proof that you have done a good work
- 8:04in the people. It's not just increasing
- 8:07membership. It's not just increasing
- 8:10influence. As wonderful as this indices
- 8:13are, the greatest food is a balanced Christian life.
- 8:19It is a beautiful sight to behold when you see a balanced
- 8:23Christian having a wholesome capture of the nature and the
- 8:28character of Christ #1 #2 the wisdom of Christ and #3 the
- 8:34power of Christ. If any of these components are
- 8:37deficient in your Christian life, there will be
- 8:40consequences. Not being a man or a woman of
- 8:44character. The fruit of the Spirit, for
- 8:46instance, can cost you a lot spiritually, financially,
- 8:51etcetera. Not having the wisdom of Christ,
- 8:54even if you have the nature of Christ, that love nature of
- 8:58finding expression in you will leave you a frustrated believer.
- 9:01Even though a sincere 1. You will not be able to build
- 9:04anything. You'll not be able to walk in
- 9:06the reality of dominion. Your light will not be able to
- 9:09shine before men. They won't be able to see your
- 9:12good. Works.
- 9:13Because it takes wisdom to build, you see, And if you lack
- 9:19the power of Christ, you will not be able to bring validation
- 9:25to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 9:27You cannot be an effective witness without power.
- 9:30Acts chapter 4 and verse 33 with great power gave the apostles
- 9:35witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, and great
- 9:40grace was upon them all. It requires power.
- 9:45So the greatest fruit of discipleship and this perhaps
- 9:49will minister to a man of God following.
- 9:52Make sure that in seeking to raise men.
- 9:55What makes you a wise master builder is your ability to
- 10:00conform to this architecture. There was an architecture that
- 10:04was given to us by God as master builders in raising men.
- 10:08You are not at liberty to choose how you raise people.
- 10:12It says my little children of whom I travel in pain until
- 10:16Christ be formed in in fact, that's why the Bible gave Jesus
- 10:22was speaking all well. The apostle was speaking that in
- 10:25the mind of the Father. He gave what we know as the
- 10:28fivefold ministry to this end that will come into the fullness
- 10:33of the stature of the measure of Christ.
- 10:37You can build the measure, the full stature and the measure of
- 10:42Christ in men. And I told you the fullness of
- 10:45God or the fullness of Christ is his nature and character plus
- 10:50His wisdom plus His power that equals the fullness of Christ.
- 10:56If you grow in manifesting the nature of Christ and you
- 11:02understand the ways of God to reflect the wisdom of Christ,
- 11:07and you are empowered to do the works of Christ, you will live a
- 11:10rich and a full Christian life. And this is what we are about.
- 11:15Week after week, every Sunday, every other day, every platform
- 11:19at all is to this single goal to help people experience the
- 11:24fullness of Christ, regardless the topic of consideration.
- 11:28Whether it's a miracle service, a teaching, a prayer meeting, it
- 11:32doesn't matter in what form or in what fashion, they are all
- 11:35ingredients that help together as wise master builders by the
- 11:40privilege of God's election and grace, to be able to build that
- 11:44fullness of Christ. I'm saying this so that whilst
- 11:47you are seated, whilst you're connected online, you have an
- 11:49idea. We're not just a ministry that
- 11:52is driven by zeal, we're driven by vision.
- 11:56It's important for you to know what you are becoming.
- 11:59When you submit yourself to disgrace and you submit to
- 12:02learn, you are not just becoming something arbitrary.
- 12:05There's a definition as to what you are becoming.
- 12:08And as wise Master Builders is good to remind you every once in
- 12:13a while that we're working in partnership with the Word of
- 12:16God, partnership with the Holy Spirit to build in you this
- 12:19tripartite dimensions that make up the fullness of Christ, the
- 12:23nature of Christ, the wisdom of Christ, and the power of Christ.
- 12:30If you're ready to receive and you're ready to continue the
- 12:34ongoing process of transformation, can you shout
- 12:37Amen? You see, let me add one more
- 12:42information. The principle channel for
- 12:45achieving this is light, primarily light.
- 12:50That's the only way you disciple men.
- 12:52That's the only way you raise men by communicating light.
- 12:56Light in Scripture talks about enlightenment, illumination,
- 13:01Hallelujah. Light is very, very important.
- 13:06When you read the story of Job, Job credited his exploits to the
- 13:11presence of light in the days of my youth when his light shined
- 13:15upon my head and so on and so forth.
- 13:17And I'm not teaching on light tonight.
- 13:19But there are two dimensions to the operation of light.
- 13:23There is light that shines on your head and there is light
- 13:26that shines on your part. I think that should be Job 29
- 13:30Anniversary should be Job. Let's try it.
- 13:33Media should be Job. Chapter 29 and verse three, Yes,
- 13:38let's do 2:00 and 3:00 so that we'll get the context.
- 13:41This is just a quick preamble. All that I wear in the months
- 13:44past, as in the days when God preserved me.
- 13:47Verse 3, listen carefully. When His candle #1 shined upon
- 13:55my head, and then when by His light, I walk through darkness.
- 14:00Are you seeing the 2 levels of the operation of light?
- 14:02There is the one that shines upon your head.
- 14:05That one is for illumination and enlightenment.
- 14:09But there is the one that shines on your path.
- 14:11That one is for direction and for guidance.
- 14:14You need both. Hallelujah, you need both.
- 14:20If you drive a car, within that car there's light that can help
- 14:25you navigate inside the car. And then there is your headlamp
- 14:29that directs your path. Is that true?
- 14:31You don't just need the headlamp.
- 14:33The headlamp is. Exterior it walks.
- 14:35Trying to give you light in front of you and light behind
- 14:40you in case you are going to reverse.
- 14:42But within the car there are so many things.
- 14:44Usually in the night the speedometer is enlightened or
- 14:47lighted and then there are lights you can do just with a
- 14:51touch of a button for many cars and you can be able to navigate
- 14:55your way inside the car. That's how it works, the
- 14:57Ministry of Light, so it walks within giving you illumination
- 15:02and enlightenment, and then it walks without giving you
- 15:06guidance and direction. May you experience both in the
- 15:09name of Jesus Christ, Hallelujah, Amen, right to our
- 15:15business for tonight. I've been on a journey with God.
- 15:18It's been an interesting journey over the past few months and
- 15:24some of the things you'll be learning tonight have come from
- 15:29these experiences. And I think for me, the teaching
- 15:33tonight is a very personal one because you know when you walk
- 15:37with God, you get into a level where there is a shift for you
- 15:41in the spirit. You rise higher, then you walk
- 15:44with God in that realm, then you get to a point where there's a
- 15:47shift in the spirit. You're not always going up.
- 15:51You rise up to a realm, then you stay there and exhaust the
- 15:55realities in that realm. Then every once and again he
- 15:58comes and takes you higher, then you exhaust the realities in
- 16:02that realm, then you rise higher.
- 16:05And this is what personally with God has been happening to me.
- 16:08And so it's been an exciting journey.
- 16:10And every time he does this to me, I know that is for my
- 16:13personal growth and edification, but then it double S as a
- 16:17blessing to the body of Christ. Hallelujah.
- 16:22Tonight we're on a journey. We want to explore the glory of
- 16:26God. I'm going to be showing you
- 16:30sudden things that have changed my life.
- 16:32Some of them I've always known. Some of them I'm discovering
- 16:36them at a higher level and it's been a phenomenal experience for
- 16:40me. I give you a guarantee that if
- 16:42you understand my teaching tonight, you should walk home
- 16:45with five things. So make sure you look out for
- 16:48those five things, not 4, not 3. There are five major things that
- 16:53God wants to communicate as far as the glory of God is
- 16:58concerned. We want to do a study on the
- 17:01glory of God tonight and trust God for a mighty, mighty
- 17:05manifestation. I sense in my heart that is a
- 17:08season where God is lifting someone.
- 17:11You are delving deeper into the things of the Spirit, and
- 17:15honestly, for as many whose hearts are open, as many who are
- 17:19malleable in the Spirit, I want you to know that God is on a
- 17:22flight with you and there will be no end to how far you go.
- 17:26Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
- 17:28I want to show you tonight through the ministry of the
- 17:32world, how the glory transforms men.
- 17:34I want to show you by the power of the Holy Spirit, how the the
- 17:39riches that are embedded in the glory of God.
- 17:43Are you ready? I titled my teaching tonight.
- 17:47Rest on me. We are going to be studying the
- 17:52riches of His glory. Rest on me.
- 17:56May that be an answer to someone's prayer in Jesus name.
- 18:00Hallelujah. We'll look at 4 scriptures very
- 18:03quickly again for a topic. Rest on me exploring the riches
- 18:10of His glory. Second Chronicles, chapter 6 and
- 18:15verse 41, our first text for tonight, Second Chronicles 6.
- 18:22So for a context, this was David or Solomon.
- 18:25While he was dedicating the temple in Jerusalem.
- 18:28He prayed a number of prayers and among the things that he
- 18:32said, he made a conclusion with this statement.
- 18:35It says Now therefore arise, O Lord, into your resting place,
- 18:42thou and the ark of your strength.
- 18:45Let your priest, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let
- 18:49your sins rejoice in your goodness.
- 18:52Scripture #2 Haggai chapter 2 and verse 9.
- 18:58If you care for a teaching or two, just as a foundation,
- 19:04before we delve into this, perhaps I should recommend 2
- 19:09teachings #1 is Doxazo. You can get all of that Koinonia
- 19:14Global. I'm sure they'll aggregate all
- 19:16of them and they would serve as the engrafted words for this
- 19:19week #1 Dog Sazzo, you may want to write that down.
- 19:23It's a teaching that I did on the Glory Hallelujah.
- 19:29And then the second teaching, another measure, another
- 19:34measure, a cry for greater glory.
- 19:37So these two teachings, in addition to tonight's teaching,
- 19:40will be the engrafted words for this week.
- 19:44Take the time to listen again to #1.
- 19:48Dog. Zazzle, it's a teaching on the
- 19:51glory of God. Very powerful teaching indeed.
- 19:54And then #2 another measure. It was a cry.
- 19:58We cried here during that teaching.
- 20:01For a greater glory and now #3 tonight is rest on me how the
- 20:07glory transforms. This is a study on the glory so
- 20:11Haggai chapter 2 and verse 9 it says the glory of this latter
- 20:14house shall be greater than that of the former, saith the Lord of
- 20:19hosts, and in. This place I will give peace.
- 20:23Saith the Lord of Hosts, Can you shout Amen Scripture number
- 20:28three, Let me make it 3 forsake of time.
- 20:31Second Corinthians chapter 417 and 18.
- 20:36Now we deal with Paul. Paul is speaking and he says our
- 20:40light affliction, which is but for a moment worketh for us a
- 20:46far more exceeding take note of the descriptions, a far more
- 20:51exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
- 20:55I like Paul in his discourse. He does not speak carelessly.
- 20:58He would have said it worked for us glory, but that will leave us
- 21:03in limbo as to the real the riches that I embedded in his
- 21:07thoughts. But he said it worked for us a
- 21:09far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
- 21:14Verse 18 it says, while we look not at the things which are
- 21:18seen, but the things which are not seen, For the things which
- 21:22are seen are temporal, or the things which are, or the things
- 21:26which are not seen are temporal, but the things which are are not
- 21:32seen are eternal. The Lord bless the reading of
- 21:34His Word in Jesus name. Hallelujah, now in.
- 21:40Studying the subject of God's glory.
- 21:42There are two major aspects that are important for the believers
- 21:46learning. Our teaching begins now.
- 21:49In studying the subject of God's glory, there are two major
- 21:53aspects you must understand. If you lose these thoughts, you
- 21:57will not be able to have a thorough comprehension as far as
- 22:01the glory of God is concerned. Number one, the first area of
- 22:05study is to learn how to host the glory of God in ever
- 22:10increasing dimensions. So that in your delving into the
- 22:14matter of glory and the subject of the glory of God, there are
- 22:17two ports of call, 2 areas you must focus on to have a balanced
- 22:22understanding of glory. Number one, you must learn how.
- 22:25You must be taught how to host the glory of God in ever
- 22:30increasing dimensions. How to host the glory of God in
- 22:36your life, in your space, in ever increasing dimensions.
- 22:41Clearly from Scripture, the Scripture we read, you can see
- 22:45that the glory of God comes in weights and it comes in
- 22:49measures. The glory of God comes in
- 22:51weights and it comes in measures.
- 22:54So you must learn there is a theology, there is an
- 22:57understanding as to how the believer is able to host the
- 23:03glory of God and to host that glory in ever increasing
- 23:07dimensions #2 The second area of study in discussing the subject
- 23:13of the glory is how to glorify God by manifesting the riches of
- 23:18His glory. How to glorify God by
- 23:22manifesting the riches of His glory.
- 23:25Let me take that very carefully. I'll repeat myself again because
- 23:28I need everyone to follow on with this introduction.
- 23:32I said that in discussing the subject of God's glory, for the
- 23:37believer to have a thorough balance understanding of the
- 23:41glory, there are two ways or two areas you must deal with and
- 23:45approach properly. If your understanding is not
- 23:48fruitful in these two areas, you will not fully understand the
- 23:51subject of Gods glory #1 how to host the glory of God in your
- 23:56life, in your space, in ever increasing dimensions, and then
- 24:00#2 how to glorify God by manifesting the riches of His
- 24:06glory. So one has to do with hosting
- 24:10the glory, the other has to do with releasing or manifesting
- 24:15the glory of God. If you're following me so far,
- 24:17say Amen. Now, for the context of our
- 24:20discussion tonight, the glory of God principally refers to his
- 24:25manifest presence. The glory of God principally
- 24:30refers to his manifest presence alongside the invaluable
- 24:35resources that come with that presence.
- 24:39When we talk about the glory of God, principally, primarily
- 24:43we're talking about the manifest presence of God alongside the
- 24:48invaluable resources that come with that presence.
- 24:52It's important we have a unified definition for the purpose of
- 24:56our discussion tonight. So every time you hear glory all
- 25:00through my teaching tonight, have this at the back of your
- 25:02mind, the manifest presence of God alongside the resources that
- 25:09come with that presence. You understand me so far.
- 25:11Say Amen, Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
- 25:17Now I told you there are five things that we need to learn.
- 25:21Our entire discourse tonight would be to reveal 5 things that
- 25:25will help us understand the glory number one.
- 25:28The first thing God seeks to help us know and understand
- 25:31tonight is that the glory of God rests on.
- 25:34Men and is revealed to men in weights and measures.
- 25:40Please write that down. The glory of God.
- 25:43The manifested presence of God coming together with every
- 25:47heavenly resources. It rests on men and it is
- 25:53revealed. Through.
- 25:54Men in weights and measures weights and measures The glory
- 26:06of God rests on men, and it is. Revealed through men in weights.
- 26:12Measures. Now let me have your attention.
- 26:14So Paul is speaking and he says it talks about the eternal,
- 26:19exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
- 26:23In my teaching dog Zazo, I define the glory proper within
- 26:28the context of that teaching using the Hebrew and the Greek
- 26:31connotation cardboard and doxa. And I said whilst 1 is an
- 26:36attempt to describe the components of the glory
- 26:39cardboard, the other one doxa has to do with a display of that
- 26:44glory. The word glory in its root form
- 26:47has to do with a description of the various factors that makes a
- 26:52thing desirable or makes it worthy of worship.
- 26:56And the only way to describe it is to use money as it was used
- 27:01in ancient times. So back then they used treasures
- 27:04like metals, like gold and all of that.
- 27:07And the weightier the metal, the more glorious the metal.
- 27:12You see that now. So when the Bible talks about
- 27:14weights of. Glory.
- 27:16It talks about the heaviness, the weightiness.
- 27:19In fact, you will see in certain lexicons they talk about the
- 27:23weightiness as though a hen resting on heart, the eggs so
- 27:28that the eggs will produce chicks and so on and so forth.
- 27:32When we talk about the glory of God, we're talking about His
- 27:37manifested presence. And I said it can rest on men
- 27:41and be revealed through men in weights and measures.
- 27:44This is powerful. Meaning we can all be carriers
- 27:49and manifestos of God's presence, but like you'll be
- 27:52learning, the weight and the measure of glory on you, on us
- 27:59are not all the same. In fact, if you are really
- 28:02looking for the difference between any 2 believers, among
- 28:05the many factors you will consider is the weight of glory
- 28:09that each believer is carrying. That's what defines, among other
- 28:13things, the possibilities that will command.
- 28:16So one believer born again, filled with the Holy Spirit,
- 28:19another believer born again filled with the Holy Spirit.
- 28:22Watch this. One person makes a proclamation,
- 28:25for instance, be healed or be blessed.
- 28:27All your life be changed, and all kinds of possibilities begin
- 28:31to happen. Whereas another person genuinely
- 28:34born again, generally filled with the Holy Spirit, will make
- 28:37such a proclamation and nothing happens.
- 28:39The difference is not the love of God.
- 28:41The difference is not the blood. The difference is not the Holy
- 28:45Spirit. In fact, the difference is the
- 28:47weight and the measure of the glory of God that they have been
- 28:52able to host in their lives. And like you'll be learning, one
- 28:56way to be a blessing is to enlarge yourself to host the
- 29:01glory of God in ever increasing dimensions.
- 29:04That way, your life and everything about it becomes a
- 29:07blessing first to you and to others.
- 29:10I'm praying for you in the name of Jesus Christ, that as a
- 29:13result of this teaching, tonight you will begin to carry and
- 29:16manifest heavier, greater weight and measures of God's presence.
- 29:21You believe that? Say Amen, Hallelujah, praise the
- 29:25name of the Lord. I remember learning about, you
- 29:29know, the subject of faith, how that healing, for example, comes
- 29:34through the hearing of faith and that you speak a word and people
- 29:38believe and people receive, like Kenneth Hagin rightfully taught.
- 29:42But then as I began to study, you know, growing up in the
- 29:46faith or the ministers of the gospel, I found a very strange
- 29:50phenomenon. I found men.
- 29:52Who did not really have all that time to just teach.
- 29:55They would step into a meeting and without speaking, people
- 29:59would begin to rise from wheelchairs.
- 30:01And the people who are healed, sometimes I even doubted while
- 30:04they are healed. And now I'm wondering what is
- 30:06going on here. I thought the people had to
- 30:08believe. Sometimes they could even be
- 30:10criticizing the man of God. And while they are at that, I
- 30:13mean is a glory that did not it seemed to ignore whether they
- 30:17believed in him or not. And I said there has to be
- 30:19something more, has to be something more.
- 30:23I would watch Benny Hinn meetings those days and you just
- 30:26see him raise songs of worship And people are literally rising
- 30:30from wheelchairs, children, people who were born never,
- 30:33never walked before. We're not talking of people who
- 30:35walked and became sick. And I said something must be not
- 30:41doesn't mean that the teaching of the world is not potent, but
- 30:43I said there has to be something.
- 30:45There has to be something. Hallelujah.
- 30:48I remember watching a few preachers who would enter a land
- 30:52where they did not understand the local dialect so much and
- 30:56the interpreter sometimes may not do justice to what they were
- 30:58attempting to communicate. And you'll find the people
- 31:01standing angry just. Waiting, why are we gathered
- 31:05here? I mean, this man is wasting our
- 31:07time. And in one moment, without
- 31:09asking them, no shouting. Amen.
- 31:11No shouting, Hallelujah. I mean, one prophetic
- 31:14declaration or one song of worship and you begin to see
- 31:17supernatural things. And I had to study my Bible
- 31:20again. That was when I learned that the
- 31:22glory comes in waits. The glory comes in waits.
- 31:27Hallelujah. One time I watched.
- 31:30So there's this thing they do, a metal, I mean like a crane that
- 31:35rests upon things and crushes them.
- 31:37You go to where they crush old cars or old, whatever it is, and
- 31:42sometimes they put a car and in less than 20 seconds it crushes
- 31:47it into pieces because of the weight of it.
- 31:51You see that now a car that you drive, I mean, you just smuggle
- 31:54that car through that crusher and it shreds it literally like
- 31:57shredding a loaf of bread because of the weight of that
- 32:02machine. How about magnets?
- 32:04If you go to the seaport, you'll find magnets that move cars
- 32:08maybe from the ship and just puts them, you know, wherever
- 32:12they'll be sold. And sometimes those magnets, you
- 32:15see cars and lorries and trucks and it just stamps itself on the
- 32:20car and picks. Is it like a piece of paper
- 32:22because of the weight of it? And I said this is it.
- 32:25There are possibilities that will remain difficult, not
- 32:28because it could not move, but the weight.
- 32:31You see that now there are certain diseases that may not
- 32:34seem to answer, not because God does not want it to go.
- 32:38The weight, the weight, in fact, quite honestly, not to create
- 32:43any sense of competitiveness in learning the ways of the
- 32:46anointing. I watched a lot of videos and I
- 32:48saw things that surprised me. I watch meetings where now again
- 32:52the purpose is not to create any sense of.
- 32:55Unhealthy comparison, but I saw several preachers who would be
- 32:58invited for meetings back-to-back and one would come
- 33:02and preach and do his best and try to heal the sick.
- 33:05Sincerely. And at the end they might just
- 33:07be one or two, just general cases.
- 33:10Then the next preacher comes, sometimes just hours after the
- 33:14other one struggled and just raises a song, and sometimes the
- 33:17same person who they tried and tried to heal.
- 33:21Now that the other preacher does not even talk to him, just one
- 33:24song of praise and the person is upstanding.
- 33:27I'm telling you, the difference is not the love of God.
- 33:29The difference is the weight of glory.
- 33:31Someone say weight of glory, Again, say weight of glory.
- 33:35This is the difference between preachers.
- 33:38This is the difference between believers.
- 33:40It is not just the love of God. The same Lord is rich unto all.
- 33:44Who is understanding this? So far so that the glory of God,
- 33:47that Shekinah, that manifested presence, it can rest on men,
- 33:52and it can be transmitted through men in weights and in
- 33:56measures #2 very quickly. The conveyor, the word convey,
- 34:02means the system of transporting and transmuting the conveyor of
- 34:07the glory of God to men and through men is the Holy Spirit.
- 34:12It's important you understand this.
- 34:14The conveyor of the glory of God to men and through men to their
- 34:22world is the Holy Spirit. Meaning you cannot discuss the
- 34:26subject of the glory of God outside of the person and the
- 34:31ministry of the Holy Spirit. It will be impossible for you to
- 34:35host and reveal the glory of God in and through your life if you
- 34:40do not understand the person and the ministry of the Holy Spirit
- 34:44Who understands me so far. So the Holy Spirit is a conveyor
- 34:49of the glory of God to men, and He's also the one who causes
- 34:54that glory to be revealed through men in First Peter
- 34:58chapter 4 and verse 14. He's called the Spirit of glory.
- 35:03First Peter 414 Please, if ye be reproached for the name of
- 35:07Christ, it says, happy are ye for the spirit of glory and of
- 35:12God rested upon you. Someone read that scripture.
- 35:16It says For the spirit of glory and of God rested upon you.
- 35:22For the spirit of glory and of God rested upon you.
- 35:28For the spirit of glory and of God rested upon.
- 35:33You. And of God rested upon me.
- 35:36So the Holy Spirit is the conveyor.
- 35:40Anytime you want to step into levels and weights of the glory
- 35:44of God. It is the business of the Holy
- 35:46Spirit. You cannot ignore his person.
- 35:49You cannot ignore his ministry and walk in the glory.
- 35:53There is nobody I know who is who has been able to trap and
- 35:57manifest the glory of God to our world in unusual proportions,
- 36:02whether in ministry or just as an effective witness who does
- 36:06not understand the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
- 36:13Your glory Stangible. In this place, Lord, you're
- 36:21doing something great. Awaken supernatural faith Your
- 36:32glory tangible in this place. Lord, you're doing something
- 36:42great Awakened supernatural faith.
- 36:51Yahweh Rafa Halloween shall die. Shirin, I don't, I manifest
- 37:05yourself. Yahweh Raphael Halloween Shabba
- 37:21Shirin I don't. I manifest yourself.
- 37:30The Holy Spirit, when you watch the sick healed, when you see
- 37:35his glory invade lives, just know is the Holy Ghost the Holy
- 37:39Ghost. He's the one mandated.
- 37:42He's the conveyor. My goodness, when you find a
- 37:46believer transiting in power, in wisdom, in grace, the Holy Ghost
- 37:50is behind it. Jesus left us that living
- 37:53spirit, the Spirit of the living God.
- 37:56He's the one who transmutes the glory.
- 37:59He's responsible for the administration of the glory.
- 38:03Everything that has to do with the business of presence is His
- 38:07office. The business of presence, the
- 38:10business of power resides within the office of the Spirit of God.
- 38:15And it's important you understand this.
- 38:17You'll never be able to carry weights and measures of God's
- 38:21glory or you will learn a lot tonight.
- 38:23You will learn a lot tonight. Just keep #2 please sit down.
- 38:28Please sit down. Let's rush.
- 38:30I don't want to miss any. Part of tonight's teaching is
- 38:33the spirit of glory. So #1.
- 38:42The glory of God rests on men and is revealed through men in
- 38:46weights and measures #2 The conveyor of the glory of God to
- 38:51men and through men is the Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of
- 38:55glory. Now #3 The third thing I want
- 38:58you to learn is that your level of dominion in experience
- 39:05depends on the weight and the measure of glory you carry and
- 39:11manifest. A long read, but I'll, I'll say
- 39:14it again because I need you to hear and then write.
- 39:17Your level of dominion in this Kingdom in experience now
- 39:22depends on the weight and the measure of glory you carry and
- 39:29manifest. First Corinthians chapter 15 and
- 39:35verse 41. The level of dominion that you
- 39:40will command, the level of dominion and authority that you
- 39:45will wield in this Kingdom. Inexperience, not theoretical
- 39:50dominion. Practical dominion over
- 39:53elemental forces, dominion over principalities and powers.
- 39:58That creative dimension of God functioning like God.
- 40:01Inexperience. It will depend on the weight and
- 40:05the measure of the glory that you carry and manifest.
- 40:10So Paul is teaching the church in Corinth, and he delves into
- 40:13the subject of glory, and he says, there is one glory of the
- 40:17sun, and there is another glory of the moon, and there is
- 40:23another glory of the stars. Then he says even among the
- 40:27stars one differed from another, not in size, but in glory.
- 40:35In many instances believers are called stars and that even among
- 40:39believers, for instance, you'll find that in Daniel chapter 12
- 40:41and verse 3, it says they that be wise shall shine like the
- 40:45brightness of the firmament, and they that turn many to
- 40:48righteousness shall be as the stars even forevermore.
- 40:52Remember when the Joseph, Jacob was interpreting Joseph's dream,
- 40:58he said the sun being him, the moon being the mother, and the
- 41:02stars being the brother or the brothers.
- 41:06So men can be likened to stars. And he says even among the stars
- 41:101 can differ from another, maybe not in age, maybe not in size,
- 41:17but in glory. In glory.
- 41:21This is very powerful. The difference between any 2
- 41:25worshippers, it may not even be their voice, it may not even be
- 41:29their song or the weight of glory upon which that song.
- 41:33Are we together? Have you had two or three people
- 41:36sing the same song? And you know the difference
- 41:38because everyone speak as touching or sings as touching.
- 41:42The weight of glory that supports what they are saying.
- 41:46I have heard beautiful songs, for instance, really powerful
- 41:50songs. The problem is not the song, the
- 41:52problem is who sang it. The person who sang it clearly
- 41:57was not carrying. Maybe was carrying one coin.
- 42:02One coin, with all due respect, one coin dimension of the weight
- 42:06of glory, and you had the song is only because you've had it
- 42:10before that you know the song is powerful.
- 42:12But if you were to depend on what that person has said, you
- 42:14may think the song does not carry life.
- 42:16And then you hear the same song again by another vessel, another
- 42:21star, and the weights that is invested behind that song is
- 42:25someone learning. Now the level of dominion in
- 42:30this Kingdom and inexperience depends on the weight and the
- 42:35measure of glory that you carry and you manifest.
- 42:39Now generally speaking, there are two factors that are
- 42:42responsible for the disparity in the results of believers #1 is
- 42:47the election of grace and then #2 the weight of glory.
- 42:52Generally. I think just a digression for
- 42:54your knowledge, when you find 2 believers who have a very
- 42:59divergent results, classically speaking, there are two factors
- 43:03that may be responsible for that disparity #1 it can be the
- 43:07election of grace. There are people whose results
- 43:11is not necessarily completely a product of their prayer or
- 43:16fasting or yieldedness. Certain possibilities just came
- 43:20as part of the packages of their.
- 43:22Call. That's why we do not boast.
- 43:24The election of grace can determine certain possibilities,
- 43:28but it only accounts for about 20%.
- 43:31I can tell you that over 80% of the disparity in results is the
- 43:37difference in the weight of glory so that you don't leave an
- 43:40excuse. And say I knew it, I always knew
- 43:42that my own is because my call is, is that it's not true.
- 43:46If you are not carrying the weight of glory, I'm telling
- 43:48you, you -20 from 80%. A good student can fail 20% and
- 43:55still score A. A lazy student can give an
- 43:59excuse and says because they detect they deducted 20% that's
- 44:03why he got F. What of the remaining 18?
- 44:06You see how lazy sometimes believers can be.
- 44:10So just because there is the election of grace, the election
- 44:13of grace just gives you about 20%, honestly more advantage
- 44:19than the average believer. And the 20% is simply for the
- 44:22work's sake. That's it.
- 44:25I give you an example, a gentleman who because of the
- 44:29inclination of his prophetic call, even before praying, even
- 44:34before fasting, are we together from a baby He began to see.
- 44:38How do you explain that it's an election of grace, he says from
- 44:42when's that when your mother's womb before thou came as forth I
- 44:46called you and I ordained you to be a prophet so you would find
- 44:50young Jeremiah seeing things already.
- 44:54It was not because he did anything.
- 44:56An example, hearing the voice of God as baby Samuel, he did not
- 45:01listen to five principles of hearing the voice of God
- 45:04pressing in prayer and fasting. He was just a baby who was
- 45:08ordained to be a prophet. So there are times that certain
- 45:11possibilities in the Kingdom just come as the blessing of an
- 45:15election of grace, but I can tell you that only.
- 45:17Accounts for about 20%. Meaning even if you enjoy the
- 45:21advantage of the election of grace and you don't press to
- 45:24carry certain weights of glory, you will still fail someone
- 45:29learning. Praise the name of the Lord.
- 45:31How many of you have written exams where they gave you maybe
- 45:356 questions? And maybe for instance, not a
- 45:38good analogy, but let's assume that maybe one of the questions
- 45:41was wrongly put and because of that they say, OK, you know
- 45:44what? We're giving all of you bonus
- 45:46for that question and there's still people who will get 0.
- 45:50What does that mean? That means whether or not the
- 45:53bonus was given, they were still going to fail the remaining.
- 45:55After all, are you getting the point now?
- 45:57That's how many believers are. So it doesn't really matter so
- 46:00many whether you have election of grace or not.
- 46:03You are already intrinsically on serious with the issue of the
- 46:06weight of glory. But this analogy minus you in
- 46:13the name of Jesus Christ is someone learning weight of
- 46:19glory. Now #4 The fourth thing that you
- 46:25came to learn tonight is that there are 5 platforms.
- 46:28And this is really where we're going to be dwelling.
- 46:31There are 5 platforms for hosting the glory of God in ever
- 46:35increasing measures. You have to learn this.
- 46:38You want to host the glory of God in ever increasing
- 46:42dimensions. I've studied my Bible a bit and
- 46:45I've had the honor of studying those who have studied their
- 46:47Bibles. And I can tell you, I have
- 46:49aggregated from Scripture 5 portent channels and platforms.
- 46:55These are about the only platforms as revealed in
- 46:59Scripture that allows for hosting the glory of God.
- 47:03If you want to host the glory of God that manifested presence and
- 47:08enjoy the riches that come with that presence, these are the
- 47:12platforms that you must engage. Are you ready?
- 47:15Pray in the Spirit for one minute. 5 platforms for hosting
- 47:20the glory of God. Someone's life is changing.
- 47:23A preacher is about to carry a heavyweight like you'll be
- 47:26learning. The weightier you are in the
- 47:29spirit, the heavier you are in the spirit in terms of the
- 47:34glory, the easier it is becoming a witness, the easier it is
- 47:39commanding certain possibilities in the Kingdom.
- 47:42Please open your mouth and pray. Shapran Tamaka Kosada Balaka
- 47:48Tapran de Gabela Katash. Someone's life is changing.
- 47:59Behold the glory after Lord. Behold the glory after Lord.
- 48:16Behold. Before I get into this, let me
- 48:56share with you an experience when I started walking with God.
- 49:01Now, every time I got to a face in the Spirit where God was
- 49:05going to increase me, I would have a vision, mostly at the
- 49:08time of my retreat, I would see myself dressed like a military
- 49:12man. I didn't understand what was.
- 49:14Of course, I knew it was, but not this level of understanding.
- 49:18So I would see, you know how you decorate a military man as you
- 49:21are increasing that ranking, That's what I will see.
- 49:25So it was like, it's only that I will not see who is dressing me,
- 49:28but I will see myself in a military uniform and then either
- 49:31a star or something, the same way you do for military.
- 49:35And then by the next meeting I get into, you now see certain
- 49:39possibilities. Easier, better.
- 49:41The gifts of the spirit, the flow of power, the supernatural.
- 49:45I didn't understand. It was when I began to study
- 49:49Jewish worship and the mystery of God's presence.
- 49:51I found the key that this is it. It was a weight.
- 49:56So it is added upon you when you are faithful, added upon you,
- 50:01added upon you. Do you know as soon as that
- 50:04weight is added, creation records that you have transited
- 50:08in the Spirit and will begin to treat you in a certain way?
- 50:11It's true, it's true. I tell you sincerely without
- 50:16sounding arrogant. There are things now that it
- 50:20would not take time. It would have taken a longer
- 50:23time. Most of my prayer now is not is
- 50:27not for science and wonders in all honesty, is to know him more
- 50:30and to wait your presence because there's a level to which
- 50:34you come into just one utterance.
- 50:37You shift the climate is because of the glory that that's what
- 50:40you are doing. It's not just what you are doing
- 50:43now. Let me tell you this Once Upon a
- 50:45time, listen, Once Upon a time we needed to have you would do
- 50:50long sessions of prayer, maybe long sessions of fasting.
- 50:54Nothing wrong with that. We call it charging the
- 50:57atmosphere. You charge the atmosphere.
- 51:00The instrumentalists have to be serious because they can affect
- 51:03whatever. But as you grow, a time comes
- 51:06when that only becomes another advantage.
- 51:09There's such dominion in your climate.
- 51:11It doesn't really matter sometimes because you see, as
- 51:15you serve the grace of God, you will be in platforms where not
- 51:18everybody is that sensitive. What do you know?
- 51:22Do you know when it has to do with dispensing the glory?
- 51:25Even just poor sound quality can affect it.
- 51:29The glory is closely related to excellence.
- 51:33There is a height in the spirit you may not be able to step into
- 51:37just because the sound quality went bad or the instrumentalists
- 51:40were not discerning. As they play.
- 51:42You can sense their laxities spiritually through their
- 51:46instruments and it can affect the flow of power.
- 51:49The secret is not to start insulting everybody and say you
- 51:52didn't pray today, you didn't fast, you rise, go 40,000 feet
- 51:57in the spirit. As you are sending the Spirit,
- 52:00I'm telling you, you get to a point where the weight of the
- 52:03climate you bring, you believe what I'm telling you.
- 52:11Music ministers, this is a powerful message for you because
- 52:15it's not every time you have the stage and the sound quality set.
- 52:19There are times that because of the excellence and the ambience,
- 52:22it's easy for the glory to flow. But unfortunately, being called
- 52:26to be a witness, it may not give you the luxury to have every
- 52:29atmosphere put in place. So what happens?
- 52:32You carry your own climate with you.
- 52:35There are times you go to minister in a place you know
- 52:38that an investment has been made there of prayer, an investment
- 52:42has been made of discipleship. It's easy to glide through the
- 52:45existing atmosphere, but honestly, there are times when
- 52:48you get there, you know that this one is Hard Rock.
- 52:51You must carry your own climate and if you have not done your
- 52:55business in the Spirit, it will be revealed right there.
- 53:00So I want to show you 5 keys. If you learn what I'm telling
- 53:04you, you will carry the glory of God past us.
- 53:07If you lend this, it will end competition in the body of
- 53:10Christ because you will now see that everybody can step into
- 53:14higher weight of the glory. There's no need, you know,
- 53:17getting sad. Why is God using this person?
- 53:19No, no, no, no, no. It's the weight.
- 53:21That's it. It's the weight, Sir.
- 53:23It's the weight. If I wear a badge and it's
- 53:26written VVIP, do they ask me about my size?
- 53:30No. Whatever door VVIP can open
- 53:33opens for me. Are we together?
- 53:36I can be learned, I can be eloquent, I can be smart.
- 53:39But if I don't have that badge, I get there.
- 53:41They say, sorry, you don't have the tag.
- 53:43That's how the glory is. There is what can rest on you.
- 53:46And some doors just open on their own.
- 53:50I told you, I think it was two or three weeks ago that I, I
- 53:54used to know three ways doors open until one time I was
- 53:57worshipping and God told me, no, that's not the only way.
- 54:00When you use the right key, doors open.
- 54:03When you use relationships by knocking doors open.
- 54:07When you use force by breaking doors open.
- 54:10But technology has taught us the fourth way, presence, presence.
- 54:15There are times that a door opens once it senses your
- 54:18presence. Presence, Sir, whether is your
- 54:21eyes, whether is your fingerprint presence can open
- 54:24doors. Please be seated Shamalana Casa
- 54:37brande que balaca prosequiata brantos caprende que belleca
- 54:42para to siata 5 platforms. Tonight's teaching is for
- 54:48serious Christians. If you are all about using God
- 54:52and not being serious spiritually, tonight's message
- 54:55is not for you. Tonight's message is for a
- 54:57hungry person who knows that God has ordained you to be a voice
- 55:01to a generation. Tonight's message is for a
- 55:03passionate person who has zeal but has been asking what is the
- 55:07key? I already have the heart.
- 55:09I just need to know the step. I need to know the way.
- 55:12I need to know how to rise to those Rams.
- 55:15God has brought you answers tonight.
- 55:23The glory of the Lord. There are things you must know
- 55:30to carry the glory. It's not just an election of
- 55:33grace. There is a theology.
- 55:36That is an understanding. That is what you must know.
- 55:39That is how you must engage with the Holy Spirit to be able to
- 55:44carry weights of glory. And let me tell you this, one of
- 55:48the reasons behind the inefficiency of the church and
- 55:51aside from proper discipleship is that we have not been taught
- 55:55the path to glory. The average believer should be
- 55:58such a carrier of God's glory, not just past us.
- 56:02And I hope you know when we talk about glory, we're not just
- 56:04talking of shouting and falling down.
- 56:06You are. You will be learning the
- 56:08limitless possibilities that your life will command when you
- 56:12pay the price to carry the glory of God.
- 56:22My glory, the Leafs are up of my head.
- 56:29My glory, the Leafs are up of my head.
- 56:36You are my glory. You're
- 57:03the lifter of my. You're the leaf to wrap up mine.
- 57:10You're the leaf to wrap up mine. Let me tell you what is
- 57:18happening to you tonight. Many of you are being immersed
- 57:21in a cloud. You are literally being
- 57:23immersed. And out of that emotion,
- 57:26something is happening, a quickening.
- 57:30Something is dying, and for some, something is resurrecting.
- 57:34I want you to pay attention. I sense in my spirit that there
- 57:37will be mighty impartations. As I begin to show you these
- 57:41ways, it's time for people to rise.
- 57:44I'm telling you, we're tired of people who just speak and speak
- 57:48and speak, sing and sing and sing, act and act and act, talk
- 57:53and talk and talk. No presence, no glory, no Sir.
- 58:03You're my glory. You're the lifter of mine.
- 58:10You're my glory. You're the lifter.
- 58:14Of mine, I will teach you something when we get to
- 58:19worship, because one of the channels is worship, I will be
- 58:23showing you. You will know the mystery of
- 58:26this instrument you are seeing. Every one of them you see is a
- 58:30language that is what they are speaking and it adds to building
- 58:35up that momentum for the glory. Anyway, sit down, let's go
- 58:40straight. 5 platforms. Are you ready?
- 58:46The first platform for hosting the glory of God.
- 58:52A man of God, a generation, a family, a church.
- 58:58You want to see the manifested presence of God.
- 59:01You want to host the glory of God in such weights, in ever
- 59:05increasing dimension. The first platform is the prayer
- 59:09platform. The prayer platform.
- 59:13Luke chapter 929 to 34. The prayer platform.
- 59:18This is the first platform that affords you an opportunity to
- 59:22host the glory of God. His Shekinah in in ever
- 59:26increasing proportions. And as he prayed the he been
- 59:30Jesus, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his
- 59:34remains became white and glistering.
- 59:36Verse 30. And behold, there talked with
- 59:40him two men, which were Moses and Elijah. 31 were reading to
- 59:4434 who appeared, how talk to me. They appeared in glory, and
- 59:50speak of his disease, which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
- 59:5532 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep,
- 1:00:01and when they were awake they saw his glory and the two men
- 1:00:08that stood with them. Verse 33.
- 1:00:12And it came to pass. As they departed from him, Peter
- 1:00:15said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here.
- 1:00:18Let us make 3 tabernacles, one for you, one for Moses, one for
- 1:00:22Elijah, not knowing what he said.
- 1:00:24You see the problem with sleep. Those who sleep lack wisdom.
- 1:00:32They don't maximize opportunities.
- 1:00:34While Jesus was doing the business of glory, they were
- 1:00:36sleeping. He woke up straight from slumber
- 1:00:39and began to speak nonsense. Verse 34 while he thought,
- 1:00:46speak, there it is. There came a cloud and
- 1:00:51overshadowed them, and they feared as they entered into the
- 1:00:56cloud. When you read 35, there was a
- 1:00:59voice that came out of the cloud.
- 1:01:03We'll talk about that when we talk about the riches of his
- 1:01:05glory. Where did the voice come out
- 1:01:07from the cloud saying, this is my beloved son, hear he the
- 1:01:14prayer platform. We just finished a series on
- 1:01:17prayer. I don't want to go back there,
- 1:01:19but one of the things I said in passing one time while I was
- 1:01:22discussing, I don't know what topic it was, was that there are
- 1:01:25many dimensions to prayer. There is an intercessory
- 1:01:29dimension of prayer. There is the fellowship
- 1:01:33dimension of prayer. Are we together?
- 1:01:35There is the petition dimension of prayer.
- 1:01:39Not every dimension of prayer directly translates to helping
- 1:01:44you host the glory. When we talk of prayer, you
- 1:01:47don't spend your life asking, asking for things and get the
- 1:01:50glory. There is one aspect of prayer
- 1:01:54that directly translates to hosting the glory.
- 1:01:58This is the fellowship, that Koinonia dimension of prayer,
- 1:02:01where you stay praying in the Spirit and fellowshipping with
- 1:02:05the Holy Ghost. It's important.
- 1:02:07I say that every aspect of prayer is important, but not
- 1:02:11every aspect of prayer brings the glory.
- 1:02:13Did you get that? Every aspect of prayer is
- 1:02:16important. Supplications are important.
- 1:02:21They help your needs to be met. The prophetic dimension very
- 1:02:25important. The intercessory dimension very
- 1:02:28important. But the richest dimension of
- 1:02:31prayer is the fellowship dimension, using prayer as a
- 1:02:36tool for intimacy. Using prayer as a tool for
- 1:02:41fellowship is called the Fellowship of the Holy Ghost,
- 1:02:44the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the
- 1:02:47Koinonia, the fellowship. So many people pray, but the
- 1:02:52reason why the results are different is because there's an
- 1:02:55emphasis in different dimensions.
- 1:02:58Many are prayerful, but they largely focus on the petition
- 1:03:03and in petition dimension of prayer.
- 1:03:05Lord give me things, Lord give me things, 3-4 hours, Lord give
- 1:03:09me things. And God will answer because it
- 1:03:12is prayer, but they're never really going to command the
- 1:03:15glory that way. But there are others who will
- 1:03:17stay in that cloud that I may know you and the power of your
- 1:03:21resurrection. You see, you are praying.
- 1:03:23Two people are praying, but one is tapping into the the petition
- 1:03:28dimension of prayer and may not come up with anything so much.
- 1:03:33But another person is staying there not just to receive
- 1:03:36things, but to know him. For that person, prayer is a
- 1:03:40vehicle is joining you into the realm of the Spirit, the prayer
- 1:03:47platform. Those who know how to use this
- 1:03:50have become mighty men in prayer.
- 1:03:52You say, let me tell you, we're a generation that prays, but I
- 1:03:55tell you why. Certain prayer lives just
- 1:03:58produce results without growth. But there are people who have
- 1:04:03learned how to use prayer as a tool for edification and as a
- 1:04:08tool for growth. Now you must be trained to know
- 1:04:11all the dimensions of prayer, the intimacy dimension of
- 1:04:15prayer, the prophetic dimension of prayer, the petition
- 1:04:19dimension of prayer, the intercessory dimension of
- 1:04:22prayer. These are different dimensions
- 1:04:24and at different points in your prayer journey.
- 1:04:26You will have to explore many of them to meet your needs, the
- 1:04:30needs of others. But I tell you, the richest and
- 1:04:33greatest assignment of prayer is as a vehicle.
- 1:04:36It conveys you from where you are to realms of glory.
- 1:05:13Your glory is my one desire. Your glory is my one desire.
- 1:05:23Someone say prayer, say prayer. Listen.
- 1:05:29You can use prayer like a shopping cart.
- 1:05:32You know how you use a shopping basket where you step into the
- 1:05:36Rams of glory, but you don't care about the owner of the
- 1:05:40shop. You are just interested in the
- 1:05:42things on the shelf. You can use it to bring things,
- 1:05:46healings, miracles, that's wonderful.
- 1:05:49He's a benevolent God. Or you can use prayer like a
- 1:05:55card, an access card where you are not just interested in the
- 1:05:59things in the mall alone. You want to meet the owner.
- 1:06:03That's, that's, that's a heart to heart communication for many
- 1:06:06people. When they pray, it's likened to
- 1:06:08entering a shopping mall. They pick their basket, pick
- 1:06:12another one, pick for their wife, pick for their husband,
- 1:06:16Bah Bah, Bah, Bah, Bah, Bah Bah. But all that is in their mind is
- 1:06:18not his presence. They get to the cart where
- 1:06:21there's healing, park everything there.
- 1:06:23They go to the one where there's finances, park everything there.
- 1:06:26At the end of it, they say thank you so much for being
- 1:06:28benevolent. I was told the price has been
- 1:06:30paid. Have a nice day and they're on
- 1:06:33their way. Tomorrow they come again.
- 1:06:35They are always visiting the shopping mall, always pray.
- 1:06:39They are all ties on fire, but the value of intimacy is not
- 1:06:43there. They have results.
- 1:06:46Honestly, I have seen this happen in prayer.
- 1:06:50So you find many people receive. And please don't get me wrong,
- 1:06:54there's nothing wrong with receiving.
- 1:06:56But if your prayer life is just full of a shopping, a shopping
- 1:07:01basket to pick things in the spirit, you will have a lot of
- 1:07:05results. But you will not have intimacy,
- 1:07:07you will not have power with God.
- 1:07:09And it's a waste to have things and not have power with God
- 1:07:13because it takes strength to retain the things you have
- 1:07:16received. Your glory is my one desire.
- 1:07:23Your glory is my one desire. The prayer platform, the correct
- 1:07:35way to train people in prayer is not just to teach them about the
- 1:07:42things that prayer brings in terms of their needs.
- 1:07:46We're coming there. The correct theology of prayer
- 1:07:51is to teach people about the one, the object of prayer and
- 1:07:57the fellowship that Koinonia. When you train people to value
- 1:08:01the fellowship more than the things they receive, you have
- 1:08:05put them on the path to becoming men of power.
- 1:08:08Listen to me. Let me speak towards praying
- 1:08:10generation. We have done well.
- 1:08:14We have gotten our our our bearing straight.
- 1:08:17But prayer is in many dimensions.
- 1:08:21If the only time you go to praise because you are aware of
- 1:08:24needs, Father, here are my needs.
- 1:08:28Lion of the tribe of Judah, root of David, this and that and
- 1:08:31that. Thank you for today.
- 1:08:33At least I've said thank you in the morning.
- 1:08:34I don't need to repeat it again. I'm just here to tell you about
- 1:08:37my daughter's school fees. Do something now.
- 1:08:39God will answer. Thank you, Heavenly Father, I'm
- 1:08:41here again. Oh, you don't say you are
- 1:08:43prayerful that way. When we say a man is prayerful,
- 1:08:46we don't just mean your asking is plenty.
- 1:08:49When we say you are prayerful, we mean that that time that is
- 1:08:52spent in his presence until you know him and until you are
- 1:08:56changed. I'll show you the way of glory.
- 1:08:59You can fake power, but you cannot fake intimacy.
- 1:09:03You cannot fake the the tangibility of the glory of God
- 1:09:07resting upon you. Is someone learning?
- 1:09:09Yes, Sir, and this is not just for pastors.
- 1:09:13We have reduced prayers for apostles and prophets, and
- 1:09:16sometimes we men of God are the ones who have made it so.
- 1:09:19So the businessman thinks, what do I need intimacy in prayer
- 1:09:21for? My goodness, wait until I finish
- 1:09:24my discussion tonight. I'll be showing you a powerful
- 1:09:28mystery. God showed me the prayer
- 1:09:33platform. Believers are not helpless.
- 1:09:36We don't just understand the power of prayer.
- 1:09:39There are many things prayer does.
- 1:09:41Prayer changes you. There are many things prayer
- 1:09:44does. It's a platform to bring your
- 1:09:46needs. It's a platform to intercede for
- 1:09:49others, but it's a platform that helps you to know the Lord.
- 1:09:53This is the Richard greater, nobler aspect of prayer.
- 1:09:57Next time you tell me you are prayerful or you are a prayer
- 1:10:00warrior, don't tell me the things you got in terms of
- 1:10:03material blessings. I respect your testimony, but
- 1:10:07let me see how changed you became in the place of prayer,
- 1:10:10and let me see the depth of conviction that came courtesy of
- 1:10:13prayer life. That is where the real prophet
- 1:10:16of prayer comes from, who just learned something.
- 1:10:22Your presence is my one desire. Your presence is my one desire.
- 1:10:29Your presence is my 1 design. Your presence is my want design.
- 1:10:42Your glory is my want design. Your glory is my want.
- 1:10:49Design the Prayer platform. A generation that knows how to
- 1:10:59use prayer as a tool for fellowship with God, a
- 1:11:04generation that knows how to use prayer as a tool for intimacy,
- 1:11:09in addition to the other aspects of prayer is the generation that
- 1:11:13has found his way into a realm of glory and power.
- 1:11:17I believe before Christ comes, a generation is going to press,
- 1:11:21not as individuals here and there individuals have touched
- 1:11:25that realm, but I'm talking of a corporate, a corporate emotion
- 1:11:31where a generation understand the value of prayer.
- 1:11:34If someone says I'm going to pray, you begin to rejoice
- 1:11:37because that's the last version of him you are going to see as
- 1:11:40soon as he comes out of the place of prayer, he has come out
- 1:11:43with a a depth of conviction about God.
- 1:11:46He doesn't just tell you, oh, I was praying.
- 1:11:48Do you know, as I was praying a testimony just landed.
- 1:11:50Now, please don't get me wrong, we're not downplaying the power
- 1:11:54of prayer to bring testimonies. The Bible already told us that
- 1:11:57it's a platform, but the one who understands the value of
- 1:12:02intimacy is looking for a good report more than testimonies.
- 1:12:07The report of intimacy is no blood on the arrival of
- 1:12:10testimonies. Hallelujah.
- 1:12:17Let me tell you sincerely, brothers and sisters, not to
- 1:12:20sound arrogant, but this is how God started with us.
- 1:12:24For your name. Is holy and all through your
- 1:12:28praying holy. Holy are you.
- 1:12:35You are in one small corner, smuggling yourself, negotiating
- 1:12:41your possibilities with destiny. No prayer points.
- 1:12:44You are conscious of your prayer life, not your prayer points.
- 1:12:48Not your prayer points. Your prayer life, not your
- 1:12:51prayer points. Shabaka baka.
- 1:12:56Ours become days, Days become weeks, weeks become years, years
- 1:13:01become decades, and for every time a measure of glory added to
- 1:13:06your life. Like you falling upon you.
- 1:13:09Line up on line and you get to a point where you are not even
- 1:13:12aware of how much weight you have carried.
- 1:13:22A weight of glory. Are you learning something?
- 1:13:25Tonight we must begin to use prayer as a platform for
- 1:13:31intimacy. Our generation prays, but I tell
- 1:13:38you the reason why we're still frustrated because we have not
- 1:13:41tapped into the fullness of the riches of what prayer was
- 1:13:44designed. For.
- 1:14:46Let me tell you a secret about prayer, regardless what
- 1:14:57dimension of prayer you are engaging.
- 1:15:00The key to receiving profit from the prayer altar is consistency.
- 1:15:06Write that down. The key to receiving or deriving
- 1:15:11profit from the prayer altar is consistency, consistency,
- 1:15:18consistency. Let ours turn to days.
- 1:15:22Let days turn to months. Let months turn to years and
- 1:15:27watch what happens to your life. I don't care how defeated you
- 1:15:30are. I don't care how ignorant you
- 1:15:33are. I don't care how confused you
- 1:15:35are. I don't care how fearful you
- 1:15:37are. Tap into the intimacy dimension
- 1:15:41of prayer and you will see power in ways you have not seen
- 1:15:48before. You will experience glory in
- 1:15:52ways you have not seen before. Pray in the Spirit in one
- 1:15:54minute, and then we get into the next discussion.
- 1:16:18To know you. To know you, to know you, to
- 1:16:21know you, to understand the depths of your person, to
- 1:16:25understand the dimensions of your glory.
- 1:16:28This is our desire beyond getting things to be changed in
- 1:16:33that glory. One minute we palaka Shabran
- 1:16:39taka paraka to sapregate Rakata Tata Tata paraka Tata paraka
- 1:16:48Tata. Whether you are a businessman,
- 1:16:54whether you are an apostle, whether you are a prophet, I
- 1:16:58show you an ancient part, the intimacy dimension of prayer,
- 1:17:04where prayer becomes a vehicle that joins you into the depths
- 1:17:08of God. Rakata prantaka prescata
- 1:17:13palakata. Hallelujah.
- 1:17:18Now I want to make a statement at the risk of sounding
- 1:17:22controversial. Do you know, with all due
- 1:17:26respect, the reason why most of our night vigils don't produce
- 1:17:32power is because night vigils were designed to be an
- 1:17:36opportunity where you stay away from the noise and the business
- 1:17:42of the day, the sacrifice of your sleep.
- 1:17:46You use it for intimacy or you see, most of the time, an
- 1:17:51average time for a night vigil is about 8 to 10 hours.
- 1:17:55What you find out that most of that time, when you aggregate
- 1:17:58the time that is spent in really making contact in the spirit, is
- 1:18:03not very much, is the reason why at the end of it, people feel
- 1:18:06sleepy, tired, angry, and they go back and they look like they
- 1:18:11wasted their time. Those days will have personal
- 1:18:18vigils, not vigil of a crowd, vigil of only you and God.
- 1:18:23And a major part of it, You are not just praying in the Spirit
- 1:18:27mechanically. Usually that kind of prayer goes
- 1:18:30hand in hand with worship, my God.
- 1:18:32And you find people lying down for hours, you think they're
- 1:18:34sleepy until after two hours you see their body motion and they
- 1:18:38are still awake, they are just making contact.
- 1:18:40Some of them have journeyed into visions in the spirit, like
- 1:18:43you're going to be learning. They come back with songs, they
- 1:18:47come back with sounds, they come back with revelations.
- 1:18:50They just lie down. Some would carry their
- 1:18:52rechargeable. They just go and smuggle.
- 1:18:55Everybody just finds a corner. You don't need to be known.
- 1:18:58Nobody goes with any prayer request.
- 1:19:01And you hide yourself somewhere. Shamakata batata.
- 1:19:05And sometimes your silence is a prayer.
- 1:19:07You just lie down there and that glory rests on you.
- 1:19:12Minutes turn to hours and hours and hours and hours.
- 1:19:17You do that through months and years.
- 1:19:20Let me tell you this. Many of the people who are
- 1:19:25working in power as preachers today, others were told
- 1:19:28beforehand they were called into ministry.
- 1:19:30But many did not even know they were called.
- 1:19:32They just stayed there. They they stayed there, they
- 1:19:38prayed, they stayed there, they fasted, they stayed there
- 1:19:42depressed. One day somebody just gave them
- 1:19:45a mic and said, can you help us close this meeting?
- 1:19:48And they held that mic with that glory and said, let's lift up
- 1:19:52our hands and 5 minutes became one our own plan.
- 1:19:58What is your name? What is your title?
- 1:20:00I don't know. I just know that I love God.
- 1:20:05This song you are hearing thus thus is part of that prayer
- 1:20:08platform that brought songs like this guide.
- 1:20:11I pray that our generation will return back this intimacy
- 1:20:14dimension of prayer. We replaced it with needs,
- 1:20:18needs, needs. Give me, give me and please
- 1:20:22don't get me wrong, There's nothing wrong with that, but
- 1:20:25there is a high alcohol. The glory rests on those who use
- 1:20:30prayers. A vehicle, not a shopping
- 1:20:33basket. A vehicle, not a shopping
- 1:20:36basket. Sir, please sit down.
- 1:20:41Let's do #2 the second platform, the word study platform.
- 1:20:52I'm showing you the platforms that any man can use to trap
- 1:20:57superior dimensions of God's glory.
- 1:20:59The word dash study platform. The word study platform, 2nd
- 1:21:06Corinthians 3 and verse 18. Let's hurry up. 318 Give me
- 1:21:16substance, give me proof. Give me presents, Give me you.
- 1:21:54But we all, how many can participate in this all?
- 1:21:57Not song not, but we preachers not, but we businessmen not, but
- 1:22:03we apostles not, but we prophets take note of the first 3 words.
- 1:22:06But we all, you are included. You are included, man.
- 1:22:11You are included, Sir. But we all with open face
- 1:22:16beholding. That's it right there.
- 1:22:20Beholding the Word of God, the law of liberty, beholding the
- 1:22:26Word as in a glass, the glory of God, you can behold the glory of
- 1:22:32God and be changed into that glory.
- 1:22:35You can behold the glory of God. As you study the Word of God,
- 1:22:40you behold the glory of God. Psalms 119 From verse 98 to 100.
- 1:22:47Psalm 119 The World study platform You want to carry the
- 1:22:51glory of God? You want heavier weights of His
- 1:22:54Shekinah to rest upon you, to be a blessing to your generation.
- 1:22:58Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, you are going to have
- 1:23:01to invest time beholding the glory that is hidden in the Word
- 1:23:05of God. Thou, through thy commandments,
- 1:23:09has made me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever
- 1:23:12before me. 99 I have more understanding than all my
- 1:23:17teachers, why? For thy testimonies, that which
- 1:23:21is written on my meditation. 100 I understand more than the
- 1:23:27ancient, and it is because I keep your precepts.
- 1:23:30Can I tell you this? I can tell you without sounding
- 1:23:33arrogant again, this is a generation that does not invest
- 1:23:38time studying scripture. It is one edge that our fathers
- 1:23:42have that we are losing. You see, some of these fathers,
- 1:23:47God granted them grace to read their Bibles.
- 1:23:50Now, revelation can be at different levels, I understand,
- 1:23:53but I'm talking about the grace to be diligent and to study
- 1:23:57Scripture for the average person.
- 1:24:00I think, again, one of the things that complicated our
- 1:24:03study is technology. It simplified it and complicated
- 1:24:08it again, in what way did it simplify it?
- 1:24:12By making materials accessible. You don't need to carry 10
- 1:24:16Bibles. You see that those days.
- 1:24:19You see someone carry King James carry, that's what they used to
- 1:24:22call a parallel Bible. Then you see Matthew Henry's
- 1:24:25commentary, you'll see Charles Phoenix takes, you know, all of
- 1:24:30that. And then the Greek and the
- 1:24:32Hebrew lexicon. You see somebody and see just
- 1:24:35lock yourself there and you sometimes people forget what you
- 1:24:38were checking because there are so many.
- 1:24:40But right now everything can happen just in one moment.
- 1:24:44While that has brought an advantage, honestly, I tell you
- 1:24:48this, it has produced lazy believers.
- 1:24:51The average believer today has a man of God's photo in his house
- 1:24:55but does not have a Bible. And this is where some of this
- 1:25:02temptation for idolatry comes in.
- 1:25:05And an average believer does not have a Bible.
- 1:25:10And unfortunately, right now, I'm praying that we'll never
- 1:25:13lose it in our schools. How many of you did Sunday
- 1:25:15school? Whether you were serious or not,
- 1:25:17how many of you passed through Sunday school?
- 1:25:20You see that? That's the reason why no matter
- 1:25:23how bad you see a few people, they still come back again
- 1:25:26because that residue of the deposit of the world.
- 1:25:29Parents, let me give you a loving advice.
- 1:25:31No matter how educated your child is, if he does not have
- 1:25:36spiritual education, you did not educate them well.
- 1:25:39I tell you this without any sense of bias.
- 1:25:42Send them to the Ivy League schools.
- 1:25:44Send them to the best schools, but make sure that all their
- 1:25:47knowledge, in all their knowing that they understand the Bible.
- 1:25:53We must receive grace to get back to the study of Scripture.
- 1:25:59Let us not allow prayer become an alternative to the study of
- 1:26:03Scripture. Did you hear what I said?
- 1:26:04Let us not allow prayer. There's nowhere in the Bible
- 1:26:08where you are given the liberty to choose between being
- 1:26:11prayerful or being a good student of Scripture.
- 1:26:13Nowhere in the Bible you'll always find prayer and the study
- 1:26:18of the Word. Acts chapter 6 and verse 4.
- 1:26:20Prayer we will give ourselves continually, but right now there
- 1:26:24is a generation that is subliminally choosing and I
- 1:26:29think it's because we have not done well in bringing the
- 1:26:32balance. If two people stand here and
- 1:26:35they said this man is a prayer warrior, this one is a war
- 1:26:39giant, which of the two do you think people want to go to?
- 1:26:42Are you seeing where the problem is?
- 1:26:45So most people, especially the younger generation, are focused
- 1:26:50on just the form of being prayerful, and we are gradually
- 1:26:54ignoring the place of doctrine, the place of settling down with
- 1:26:58the world. You can pray on the go.
- 1:27:00You can study on the go. Did you hear what I said?
- 1:27:03You can pray on. You can be having a shower while
- 1:27:06you are praying. You can someone can be
- 1:27:08distracting you while you are praying, but that cannot happen.
- 1:27:11Study requires sitting down. You sit down and you study.
- 1:27:19Let me tell you the truth, there is greater discipline required
- 1:27:23to study scripture than to pray. Greater discipline.
- 1:27:27Greater discipline. You can pray for 5 minutes and
- 1:27:32break and continually down. But when you are studying,
- 1:27:36especially when you are doing a topical study, you see that now
- 1:27:40you have to stay. And I mean the research that you
- 1:27:43are going to do in terms of the contextual meaning, in terms of
- 1:27:47all of this, the, the doctrinal frame of whatever subject, it
- 1:27:51takes a lot of time. The reason why many people get
- 1:27:54deceived and misled is because for many of us, our knowledge of
- 1:27:58God is not based on personal study.
- 1:28:02Now mentorship is powerful, but the value of mentorship is that
- 1:28:06there is a background of a desire for personal study.
- 1:28:10The Bible calls them the Berean Christians is the reason why
- 1:28:14once there is error from the pulpit, it will take decades to
- 1:28:17be corrected because people don't read their Bibles.
- 1:28:20So if I say something right now that is wrong, we just shout
- 1:28:23Amen. Because you like the person
- 1:28:25talking, you must separate between the sincerity of the
- 1:28:29person talking and the truthfulness of the content.
- 1:28:32There are many sincere people who are saying what is not
- 1:28:36correct and by the time you become overly sentimental with
- 1:28:41the ministry of the world, you will destroy yourself and
- 1:28:44others. Is someone learning now?
- 1:28:46There are many sincere person you can be right.
- 1:28:49For instance, the Bible says the spirit speaketh expressly that
- 1:28:53in the latter time some shall depart from the faith and shall
- 1:28:56give heed to seducing spirits and the doctrine of demons.
- 1:29:00The people who teach the doctrine of demons may not
- 1:29:03necessarily be bad people, it's just something they were taught.
- 1:29:07Have you seen that now? So the content is what is wrong.
- 1:29:10The individual may be sincere, but there are times where the
- 1:29:13individual is sincere. The individual and the content,
- 1:29:17both of them can be bad. But I can tell you, in most
- 1:29:21cases, believers do not take the time to study Scripture.
- 1:29:27And I'm not even talking of deep, deep theological studies,
- 1:29:31just the basic knowledge of the Word of God, salvation,
- 1:29:35redemption. Are we together?
- 1:29:37Your walk of faith. And this is the value of
- 1:29:41discipleship. I release grace upon you to be a
- 1:29:45student of Scripture. I pray for you by the power of
- 1:29:48the Holy Spirit, laziness spiritually, as far as the study
- 1:29:52of Scripture is concerned, particularly if you are a
- 1:29:55preacher. If you are a preacher in this
- 1:29:58end time and you don't want to open your Bible and study,
- 1:30:01please leave the pulpit. Leave the pulpit.
- 1:30:04You won't go to hell or leave the pulpit.
- 1:30:06Find something else doing. Are we together?
- 1:30:12Leave the pulpit. It's right here.
- 1:30:20Imagine someone who purports to be a professor in accounting and
- 1:30:26does not know anything about a balance sheet, doesn't know
- 1:30:29anything about budgeting, doesn't know anything about our
- 1:30:32way together. The basic elementary things of
- 1:30:35accounting that in 5 minutes you can read up.
- 1:30:39Why? What is the person doing there?
- 1:30:41Imagine if that's the person taking care of your money, they
- 1:30:45will steal and he will not know because he does not know what to
- 1:30:48do now. It becomes bad when the person
- 1:30:51now calls himself or Detour General.
- 1:30:54What did he call himself? Say it after me, he now said,
- 1:30:58I'm Auditor General. You now carry your whole
- 1:31:00company's finance and drop it before him and you walk science
- 1:31:05and wonders there. This is what is happening
- 1:31:07sometimes, and I'm not being sarcastic preachers.
- 1:31:12We need to go back and study our Bibles as we learn from one
- 1:31:17another. We must learn from his presence.
- 1:31:20We behold the glory is someone learning.
- 1:31:22He must learn, and on learn and relearn and learn, and on learn
- 1:31:29and relent. You must learn with humility.
- 1:31:32Colossians 316 It says, Let the word of Christ dwell in you
- 1:31:36richly in all wisdom, in all wisdom, in all wisdom.
- 1:31:43And then the Bible says to receive with meekness the
- 1:31:46engrafted word. If you don't have meekness, you
- 1:31:49cannot study the Bible and you cannot learn from those who know
- 1:31:54meekness, that malleability of heart to receive, to receive
- 1:32:02James 121, to receive with all meekness the engrafted world
- 1:32:08which is able to save your soul. Let's go quickly to #3 who is
- 1:32:11God speaking to tonight? 3 platforms.
- 1:32:15What? Well #3 now 5I beg your pardon.
- 1:32:19Now pay attention to #3 what's #1 the prayer platform,
- 1:32:23particularly prayer as a vehicle that enhances intimacy #2 the
- 1:32:29word study platform. It's important you understand
- 1:32:33doctrine, you understand the principles of the Kingdom.
- 1:32:36You understand the modus operandi.
- 1:32:39You see #3 the worship platform. Second Chronicles 513 and 14.
- 1:32:48The worship platform. The worship platform, Second
- 1:33:05Chronicles, chapter 5 from verse 13.
- 1:33:09Take it. Down for me.
- 1:33:11And it came to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as
- 1:33:17one to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking
- 1:33:22the Lord. And when they lifted up their
- 1:33:24voice with the trumpets and symbols and instruments of music
- 1:33:28and praise, the Lord, saying for His good and his mercy endured
- 1:33:32forever that the house was filled with a cloud, even the
- 1:33:37House of God, verse 14, so that the priest could not stand to
- 1:33:42minister by reason of the cloud. Read the last sentence, please,
- 1:33:46for the glory. Here comes the glory of the
- 1:33:54Lord. Here comes the glory of the Lord
- 1:34:03rising in this place. Here comes the glory of the
- 1:34:15Lord. Here comes the glory of the Lord
- 1:34:25rising in this. Place Hallelujah.
- 1:34:36Now let me tell you this. When I talk of worship in this
- 1:34:40context, I'm talking of worship using sounds and melodies,
- 1:34:50psalms, hymns, spiritual songs. When I talk of worship in this
- 1:34:56context as a vehicle, a platform to reveal the glory of God, I'm
- 1:35:02talking about the power of worship through songs.
- 1:35:12Worship through songs. Play the strings for me, you
- 1:35:20see, Let me teach you something. Everybody listen.
- 1:35:25You see all these instruments, whether it's the bass guitar,
- 1:35:29whether it's the keyboard. How do you think these
- 1:35:34instruments were invented? You think someone just got up
- 1:35:38one day and decided we should put strings?
- 1:35:41No. Every one of these you see, you
- 1:35:45will find it. When you have a vision of
- 1:35:47heaven, you find these instruments there they came
- 1:35:51down, they were received. And then because science gives
- 1:35:56an expression to spirituality, when spirituality enters the
- 1:36:00earth, it wears many bodies. 1 of it is science, another is
- 1:36:04arts. The body spirituality wears to
- 1:36:07manifest upon the earth is science and arts and technology.
- 1:36:12Is someone learning Now this will bring peace between
- 1:36:15scientists and ministers of the gospel.
- 1:36:17Every time spirituality steps into the earth, it cannot find
- 1:36:21expression until it wears the body of science or arts or
- 1:36:26technology or whatever it is. The same way the Word became
- 1:36:29flesh and we beheld His glory. Now every one of these
- 1:36:34instruments, you see there are languages in the spirit, like
- 1:36:38tongues. The reason why it does something
- 1:36:41to you is because it is speaking a language.
- 1:36:44Your mind cannot understand it, but once it is played, play
- 1:36:49something, anything at all, you see what is happening to you.
- 1:36:52Those sounds you see, every one of those sounds, the
- 1:36:55precautions, they are instruments of worship is doing
- 1:37:00something to you. So you sit in an atmosphere like
- 1:37:05this, your mind is frustrated because it knows there's
- 1:37:08communication happening. But because it is not in
- 1:37:11English, in a word, you know there are tongues of men, there
- 1:37:14are tongues of angels. The Bible says there is, there
- 1:37:17is, as it were, many voices. This is what happened, that
- 1:37:21demons were casted out when David began to play.
- 1:37:25What did the demons hear that made them leave?
- 1:37:28Because as he began to play, it attracted the glory.
- 1:37:31And when that glory came, the spirits just left.
- 1:37:36Every one of these progressions. You see that now, You don't have
- 1:37:40to be music inclined, but I'm just explaining to you that all
- 1:37:44these instruments, you see that help in worship is not for
- 1:37:47nothing. Now, unbelievers know this,
- 1:37:51that's the reason why for those of you who are listening to a
- 1:37:54lot of secular songs, because you before you got born again
- 1:37:57and even now when you listen to some of them, the truth is that
- 1:38:00while you don't like the wordings, you cannot deny the
- 1:38:04combination that the instruments, it does something
- 1:38:08to your spirit and you are trying to ask for forgiveness.
- 1:38:11But a part of you, I'll tell you what is happening.
- 1:38:15These instruments right here, you see, ladies and gentlemen,
- 1:38:18they are not just a conjuring of human intellect.
- 1:38:23When the word of God becomes interwoven with melodies, the
- 1:38:31stringed instrument, all of these precautions, you will
- 1:38:36produce power, power that brings the glory of God.
- 1:38:44You see that? For your name is holy, you are
- 1:38:53holy, holy Lord. For your name is Holy, Holy Holy
- 1:39:12Lord. Now listen, let me tell you what
- 1:39:20happens. The Bible says, give us some
- 1:39:23100. Some 101 of the protocol of
- 1:39:29accessing the presence of God is to come before him with singing.
- 1:39:34It says, Make a joyful noise unto the Lord all he lands.
- 1:39:37Verse two, serve the Lord with gladness.
- 1:39:41Please read the last sentence. Come before His presence.
- 1:39:47Come before His presence with what he didn't say.
- 1:39:50Come before His presence with singing.
- 1:39:52If you are a musician, or if your voice is excellent, or if
- 1:39:57you are called into the music ministry, do you know that
- 1:40:01singing unto the Lord is one of the ways we minister unto Him?
- 1:40:06Let me say that again, singing unto the Lord is one of the ways
- 1:40:11we minister unto Him. I don't want to begin to tell
- 1:40:19you so many things about all day.
- 1:40:22Let's just leave that. But ladies and gentlemen, you
- 1:40:25must find your worship life back to flames.
- 1:40:31Let me tell you what we used to do.
- 1:40:34Almost everyone from those who were trained foundationally,
- 1:40:38they were taught to have flash drives, flash drives with a
- 1:40:42collection of worship songs. You would enter people's rooms
- 1:40:47and just find worship from the laptop or the phone or whatever
- 1:40:52it is. When technology started
- 1:40:54advancing and iPods came and other things, we started
- 1:40:57transferring all of them there. You would find someone sit down
- 1:41:00for hours alone as though he's lost what is in another
- 1:41:03dimension, just plugging in. And sometimes people just begin
- 1:41:07to shake there and don't know what is happening to them.
- 1:41:10There's all kinds of impartations.
- 1:41:12It's like a spiritual Bluetooth transfer from the throne to you.
- 1:41:17Many things just seeping into your spirit.
- 1:41:27Is someone learning? But right now, most people are
- 1:41:31losing out on the power of worship that you sing before
- 1:41:37him. You don't sing just because you
- 1:41:39want to sing. You sing because you are
- 1:41:41ministering to him. Imagine a woman, a bride,
- 1:41:46wanting to serve her husband food.
- 1:41:48That's what happens in worship. That bride of Christ, you come
- 1:41:52before him. You are not just singing.
- 1:41:54Do it for me, oh God. Do it for me, oh God.
- 1:41:57Then I will know you are God. That's not what I'm talking
- 1:41:58about. I'm talking about serious songs
- 1:42:01that are expressions of worship, songs that call His name, songs
- 1:42:07that bring glory to His Majesty. That's a place of intimacy.
- 1:42:13Through songs. Is someone learning King of
- 1:42:17Kings? Shamala Makata, Brenda Gata.
- 1:42:55Emmanuel, all the world is calling your name.
- 1:43:03Emmanuel. When you come again, Emmanuel.
- 1:43:49Hello, Madonna. Hello, Madonna.
- 1:44:08Jesus. Jesus, you make the darkness
- 1:44:14tremble, Jesus. Now this is not a special
- 1:44:18number. Show you how you worship you.
- 1:44:20You are thinking about what you are saying.
- 1:44:22You're Jesus. Jesus, you make the darkness
- 1:44:29tremble. Jesus.
- 1:44:38Now let me tell you what happens when you begin to worship.
- 1:44:42When you begin to worship, there are a number of things that are
- 1:44:46activated in your life. 1 of it is the power of creative
- 1:44:49imagination. The moment you begin to worship,
- 1:44:52when you get into the depths of worship, is from creative
- 1:44:56imagination. You get into the prophetic.
- 1:44:58You see that now the Holy Ghost will begin to quicken.
- 1:45:02You begin to have images. Some of you.
- 1:45:04You are seeing Jesus standing on water and your minds eye and he
- 1:45:08saying come while you are singing songs.
- 1:45:10You see this is what begins to happen to you.
- 1:45:13You are lost in worship, not distracted at all, or thus are
- 1:45:17snoring their way to weakness. You are there staying, praying,
- 1:45:22studying, worshipping, praying, stay.
- 1:45:38Hallelujah. Let me give you an assignment.
- 1:45:41And I've told the instrumentalists many times.
- 1:45:44I think one of these days you, you can gather the
- 1:45:47instrumentalist worship team. One of these days you people can
- 1:45:51come together, get maybe all of you or just a few
- 1:45:54instrumentalists get some of these songs.
- 1:45:57I'm giving you that as an assignment.
- 1:45:59Do a one hour, 60 minutes worship.
- 1:46:04I mean, just get presents carrying songs, presents
- 1:46:09carrying songs. Who agrees with this?
- 1:46:12Presents, carrying songs. Whatever support you need will
- 1:46:15give you do it. Get into a studio, Play all the
- 1:46:19instruments from the flute to whatever.
- 1:46:21Where all those give me that flute sound.
- 1:46:23Who was playing it before? Find it for me.
- 1:46:25That's right. You see that sound right there?
- 1:46:27That's a present sound. I know them.
- 1:46:30They are familiar sounds. They are familiar sounds.
- 1:46:35Familiar sounds. Flute, the harp, the 10 stringed
- 1:46:40instruments, the symbol you put them together.
- 1:46:44Soak in one hour. I'm telling you, when they do
- 1:46:49it, the devil will release it. We'll prey on it here.
- 1:46:52After they prey on it, then we'll now release it.
- 1:46:55Use it to soak yourself to another level.
- 1:46:59You can put it for that one hour.
- 1:47:01You are praying, you are crying, you are falling, you are
- 1:47:04standing, boy, you are pressing, you are pressing, Sir.
- 1:47:08You are just thinking about the goodness of God.
- 1:47:15You see, every time you are weak to pray, switch to worship,
- 1:47:21switch to worship, switch to worship.
- 1:47:24Because sometimes you can be so tired, your eyes, you've woken
- 1:47:29up. It's only your brain that is
- 1:47:30awake. Your body refuses to wake up
- 1:47:32because it's tired. Your legs are not going
- 1:47:34anywhere. You just put worship your spirit
- 1:47:38man as he receives this, that glory.
- 1:47:41You will feel it by yourself. There are times that even if you
- 1:47:44sleep in your sleep, that's where the worship will start
- 1:47:47coming from. I'm telling you this right from
- 1:47:50the realm of the Spirit, you will wake up with such presence.
- 1:47:55And if you care to do what I do, sometimes you can play that
- 1:47:58worship. Just put it on low volume and
- 1:48:01then fall asleep and watch what happens to you.
- 1:48:05Dreams, encounters, mighty encounters.
- 1:48:10Sometimes you, you wake up with with all kinds of impartations.
- 1:48:15It's like your body was set on fire.
- 1:48:17You go for the meeting the next week and see what happens there.
- 1:48:21The gifts of the Spirit, the an activation of spiritual things
- 1:48:25is someone learning. Now please be seated.
- 1:48:36The worship platform. Now let me tell you this and I'm
- 1:48:42going to say this respectfully, respectfully, let me talk to the
- 1:48:49music ministers. Let me use Nigeria music
- 1:48:53ministers in Nigeria, please allow me to talk to you for one
- 1:48:55moment. Regardless what what kind or
- 1:49:01what area of music and worship you are called into, not
- 1:49:06everybody will be rolling on the ground and shouting and all of
- 1:49:10that. We have different people and
- 1:49:12there are different dimensions given to them.
- 1:49:15The one thing I will encourage you to do, whether you are
- 1:49:18jumping or kneeling, whether you are shouting or crying, please
- 1:49:25carry presents, carry presents, dress well, God bless you, but
- 1:49:33carry presents, carry presents that even if it's just 5
- 1:49:38minutes, it doesn't matter that when you open up your mouth, you
- 1:49:43will know that this person is not an entertainer.
- 1:49:46This one came from the secret place.
- 1:49:50Hallelujah, let me encourage in love and in righteousness.
- 1:49:54Maybe we extend it to the African continent.
- 1:49:58Please take the time to soak in prayer, soak in the world.
- 1:50:02So that's my first charge in love.
- 1:50:05Please carry presence #2 let me encourage in love.
- 1:50:09As a fellow brother to the church in Nigeria, let's trust
- 1:50:14God for grace to start looking into the wordings of our songs.
- 1:50:21There's nothing wrong we can grow.
- 1:50:24It's possible to sing nonsense yesterday and find light today
- 1:50:28and write another song that helps.
- 1:50:30But let's trust God for grace. Don't just sit with a pen and a
- 1:50:34paper to write songs. Open your Bible.
- 1:50:37Open your Bible. That's the secret of men like
- 1:50:40Don Moen. That's the secret of men like
- 1:50:43Bob Fitts. That's the secret of of fathers
- 1:50:46of blessed memory like Ron Kennelly.
- 1:50:48Their songs carry power because they are singing scripture or
- 1:50:51singing thoughts that are consistent with scripture.
- 1:50:55Sometimes the pressure to have all the songs that make an album
- 1:50:59on time. You need 16 songs and all of
- 1:51:01them must come out in one month. And you sometimes you know that
- 1:51:05out of those 16 songs, only two came from from the throne.
- 1:51:10It should not be. Things can change.
- 1:51:13Do you know why I'm saying this? If I do not encourage the
- 1:51:17worship ministers, I'm talking to worship ministers.
- 1:51:20And I'm saying that from a heart of love.
- 1:51:22I don't criticize, I shout, I don't do all those childish
- 1:51:24things. No, not at this point in my life
- 1:51:26and ministry. But I'm telling you this, I just
- 1:51:28sense in my heart to speak to the worship ministry, the
- 1:51:32worship ministers. We thank you for what you have
- 1:51:35done. Thank you for the songs you have
- 1:51:37have brought. Thank you for doing your best.
- 1:51:40We know the pressures, but let me advise you, please open your
- 1:51:43Bible and read before you write songs.
- 1:51:47Don't be under pressure to make sure you must come up with an
- 1:51:50album. They are not inviting me.
- 1:51:52I'll tell you this, if we have only a handful of presents
- 1:51:56carrying worshippers, you will be tempting them to get into the
- 1:51:59realm of pride. Is the reason.
- 1:52:02With all due respect, you find out that most serious programs
- 1:52:06in this nation and across Africa, there's literally just a
- 1:52:09handful of ministers you can call.
- 1:52:11Now not to look down on the rest, but the truth is that
- 1:52:14everybody who puts a meeting and is desperate for God is looking
- 1:52:19for presence and seriousness. As a minister of the gospel, be
- 1:52:23known for spiritual seriousness, not entertainment.
- 1:52:27Let it not be that when every serious person is busy, then
- 1:52:30they now call Hezekiah. You come around and it doesn't
- 1:52:33mean because you are maybe singing praise or what, it
- 1:52:35doesn't matter. There are there are people
- 1:52:38across all the lines who carry presence and power.
- 1:52:44The mode of worship may be different, but carry presence
- 1:52:48and let it be a defying. I'm telling you, if you do this,
- 1:52:52we will have more and more people because the pressure that
- 1:52:55is coming on the few right now, everybody wants them because
- 1:52:59people are looking for God, not not stories.
- 1:53:05Somebody listening now God. People are desperate.
- 1:53:10People would not put a program and they need the presence of
- 1:53:14God. There are sick people, there are
- 1:53:16wounded people. Nobody would just bring someone
- 1:53:18to hold the mic and just be playing and joking around with
- 1:53:21the destinies of men. Any serious pastor who truly
- 1:53:25loves his members and really wants to see them at define will
- 1:53:29be looking for someone who truly carries grace.
- 1:53:34And you see, this is where the problem is.
- 1:53:35Because once there are a handful of people alone who are good men
- 1:53:40will start worshipping them, not the God they represent, is the
- 1:53:44natural consequence of being an endangered species.
- 1:53:48I don't want to talk to pastors because you talk to pastors.
- 1:53:51Now, this can create another controversy.
- 1:53:53But this same thing applies even to pastors.
- 1:53:56It is not God's will to just have a handful of people.
- 1:54:00Two or three or four people. No, no, no.
- 1:54:05I don't know why I'm digressing like this was a serious message.
- 1:54:10Pastors, let's carry fire. Let's carry fire so that by the
- 1:54:15grace of God, if Joshua Salman cannot go for a meeting here,
- 1:54:19the organizers don't feel bad because there are witnesses.
- 1:54:22There are mighty men of God within those regions too, who
- 1:54:26can do justice. You see that now, by the time
- 1:54:28Joshua Salman, for instance, has to be here and here and
- 1:54:32everywhere, that's what creates temptation of pride.
- 1:54:35The devil starts lying to you and making you feel you know you
- 1:54:38are the only one. You know you are indispensable.
- 1:54:41And sometimes we start believing that nonsense to our peril.
- 1:54:44The key is that God will raise many more people.
- 1:54:47But the truth of the matter is that people know when they are
- 1:54:51blessed and they know when their time has been wasted.
- 1:54:54And nobody leaves what works. They will continue to seek for
- 1:54:58whatever represents authenticity, edification, and
- 1:55:01truth. So my call to pastors, don't
- 1:55:04just buy good clothes. No, God understands scripture so
- 1:55:08that if people take a risk with you and give you the mic to talk
- 1:55:12to their people, they don't keep becoming uncomfortable and
- 1:55:16they're just waiting for you to wrap up so that they'll have
- 1:55:18personal studies and correct the mess you have made.
- 1:55:21Stay with the Word, carry presence, carry power.
- 1:55:30Say Amen. And for those of you who are
- 1:55:34about to start ministry, I encourage you in righteousness,
- 1:55:39don't join some of this nonsense you see around.
- 1:55:41Stay with God, stay with God John, don't join the company of
- 1:55:46fools. Stay with God and get presents,
- 1:55:49get power, wait for your time, move gradually, throw away pride
- 1:55:54and work with the humility of heart and watch what God will do
- 1:55:57in your life. Has someone learnt anything
- 1:56:00washing the worship platform #4 The 4th platform if you want to
- 1:56:08host the glory of God in ever increasing measure is the
- 1:56:12obedience platform. Exodus 25 we read verse 9, then
- 1:56:17we jump to 40. Exodus 25 from verse 9, then
- 1:56:23verse 40. God is a God of patterns.
- 1:56:28Now this is Moses building the Tabernacle in the wilderness,
- 1:56:31according to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the
- 1:56:35Tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, it
- 1:56:40says, Even so shall ye make it. Verse 14, verse 40 he says and
- 1:56:47look this is God talking to Moses.
- 1:56:49Now he comes to him in verse 9 and show you build not the way
- 1:56:53you like according to pattern. If you want to see my glory.
- 1:56:56Verse 40 God comes to him again and says and look that down.
- 1:57:01Make them after their pattern which was shown to thee on the
- 1:57:05mount. Now go to chapter 40 and verse
- 1:57:0933, chapter 40 and verse 33, Exodus chapter 40.
- 1:57:15Watch this. Did you know that whilst Moses
- 1:57:18was building, the glory of God never came?
- 1:57:20He kept watching until Moses did everything in obedience and
- 1:57:26according to pattern. The Bible says he read up the
- 1:57:28court round about the Tabernacle and the altar and set up the
- 1:57:33hanging of the court gate. So in obedience Moses finished
- 1:57:37the work. His obedience was complete.
- 1:57:40What was the response? Verse 34 And a cloud covered the
- 1:57:45tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the
- 1:57:50Tabernacle. You see it there.
- 1:57:52The glory of God did not come until He obeyed the dictates of
- 1:57:56the pattern. A cloud covered the tent of
- 1:57:59congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.
- 1:58:02Verse 35 And Moses was not able to enter, just like the priests,
- 1:58:09they were not able to enter the tent of the congregation.
- 1:58:11Why? Because the clouds are both
- 1:58:13thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.
- 1:58:19Fill the temple. Obedience, obedience.
- 1:58:24Can you open your mouth and pray in one minute and ask for the
- 1:58:28grace to be obedient? The grace to be obedient.
- 1:58:34The real proof that you love God is obedience.
- 1:58:36Open your mouth and pray. It's not confession.
- 1:58:40Confession is not necessarily a proof that you love God.
- 1:58:43It is obedience. Obedience at any cost.
- 1:58:53Bow down and worship him, worship him, worship him.
- 1:59:08Bow down and worship entering all entering, consuming fire,
- 1:59:26sweet perfume. He's awesome presence feel this
- 1:59:36room. Nagir Mama sunaka Ubangi Ji nano
- 2:00:16Kaka sunaka. Ubangi Ji Kai Sai Abu Nagir Mama
- 2:00:24Sunaka. Nano Kaka Sunaka.
- 2:00:45There is always what you must do to see the glory of God.
- 2:00:49Levitical Chapter 9 and verse 6. The Lord spoke unto Moses and
- 2:00:55said, This is the thing which the Lord commanded that ye
- 2:00:59should do, and if you do it in obedience, the glory of the Lord
- 2:01:04shall appear not to everyone, to the doer.
- 2:01:07The glory of the Lord appears in response to obedience.
- 2:01:11You want to carry the glory of God.
- 2:01:13You must obtain grace to walk in obedience.
- 2:01:16Ladies and gentlemen, the way to see the glory of God is to
- 2:01:20obtain grace, the doing grace to walk in obedience.
- 2:01:25There is a relationship between obedience and the glory.
- 2:01:29Every time we saw the glory of God manifested in the Bible, in
- 2:01:33the lives of individuals, all that New Testament, it was in
- 2:01:36response to obedience. Someone say obedience.
- 2:01:41I've given you 4 platforms. Let's rehash #1 the prayer
- 2:01:44platform #2 the word study platform #3 the worship platform
- 2:01:50#4 the obedience platform #5 the sacrifice platform, the
- 2:01:57sacrifice platform, the sacrifice platform.
- 2:02:02Second Chronicles, 71. 2. 3. Second Chronicles 7123.
- 2:02:16Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down
- 2:02:21from heaven. Watch this.
- 2:02:23The first thing the fire did before the glory came was that
- 2:02:26it consumed the bond offering and the sacrifices.
- 2:02:31Notice that was the same thing that happened in Elijah day.
- 2:02:35When the fire came, it was because there was sacrifice on
- 2:02:38the altar. Please look at me.
- 2:02:39Let me teach you this. There is a dimension of the
- 2:02:42glory of God. We're going to finish up to
- 2:02:44verse 3, but there is a dimension of the glory of God
- 2:02:48you will never experience if you are all about comfort and
- 2:02:52convenience and tell you this, there is a dimension.
- 2:02:56Now there's nothing wrong with comfort and convenience, but
- 2:02:59there are certain levels of the weightiness of His glory that
- 2:03:04will demand sacrifice. The sacrifice of your time, the
- 2:03:08sacrifice of your life, the sacrifice of your energy, the
- 2:03:12sacrifice of your resources, the sacrifice of your loyalty.
- 2:03:20Fire came down and consumed the bond offering and the glory of
- 2:03:23the Lord. After the sacrifice was put on
- 2:03:26the altar and the fire came on the sacrifice, then the glory of
- 2:03:30God filled the house, verse 2. And the priest, just like Moses,
- 2:03:36could not enter into the House of the Lord, because the glory
- 2:03:40of the Lord had filled the Lord's house.
- 2:03:43Verse 3. And when all the children of
- 2:03:47Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord
- 2:03:51upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to
- 2:03:54the ground upon the pavement. And worship and praise the Lord,
- 2:03:59saying, for his good and his mercy endures forever.
- 2:04:04Ladies and gentlemen, many times I don't personally think it's
- 2:04:10very healthy to talk about some of the sacrifices and the things
- 2:04:14that we've laid down. Because sometimes when you speak
- 2:04:18about sacrifice, there's a thin line between honestly showing
- 2:04:22sacrifice and getting into self righteousness, you see.
- 2:04:27So sometimes we just forget about that and we just want
- 2:04:30people to see Jesus. But I can tell you this, my life
- 2:04:34today is all be by the grace of God.
- 2:04:36But I can tell you this for sure, if you want to carry
- 2:04:39certain measures of the glory, it will cost you.
- 2:04:43There is a cost to it. This is something our generation
- 2:04:46does not like to hear. We like to hear about
- 2:04:49convenience. You want to carry the glory of
- 2:04:51God in unusual proportions as a man of God, the wisdom of God,
- 2:04:56the power of God, the favor of God, the healing anointing, the
- 2:05:00grace will bring deliverance. I'm telling you is beyond just
- 2:05:03reading your Bible and closing the pages.
- 2:05:06It is a sacrifice of your life, the sacrifice of your life.
- 2:05:12You must become that living sacrifice, your time.
- 2:05:17There are times God can give you an instruction and say for the
- 2:05:20next seven months I desire to meet with you every night from
- 2:05:2412:00 to 3:00. That's a dedicated appointment
- 2:05:28time between me and you. And at that point, sometimes by
- 2:05:3111:30 you almost feel, you don't know whether you are awake or
- 2:05:35you are asleep, but you know you have to keep that time because
- 2:05:39there's something God is doing with you, the sacrifice of your
- 2:05:42time, the sacrifice of your energy, the sacrifice of your
- 2:05:47resources. I've shared with you this one so
- 2:05:49I can have the liberty to say it.
- 2:05:51A few years ago the Lord gave me an instruction to sow a seed.
- 2:05:56First Koinonia should sow, and then it was a serious seed, very
- 2:06:00serious seed. And afterwards the Lord now
- 2:06:03spoke to me and said what he told Koinonia to give.
- 2:06:07He said I should give personally twice that amount.
- 2:06:13It's at such points you will not know whether is an advantage or
- 2:06:16a disadvantage to hear God, because you can bind and cast.
- 2:06:20There are some instructions Satan cannot give you.
- 2:06:26No matter how blessed you are obeying that kind of
- 2:06:30instruction, you will feel it a part.
- 2:06:32You will know that this one something left.
- 2:06:37But you see, that's where obedience merges with sacrifice.
- 2:06:42I'm so happy for the grace to have honored the Lord and we
- 2:06:46stepped into another dimension of glory and another dimension
- 2:06:49of grace. You see.
- 2:06:51Do you know why this is important?
- 2:06:52Sometimes as painful as it is to share these things, it's
- 2:06:55important to share them so that you don't think that these
- 2:06:59things just happen magically to people.
- 2:07:01It's not so. It's not so Hallelujah.
- 2:07:05Sacrifice, sacrifice of any and everything, your time, your
- 2:07:11energy, your resources. Sometimes you are traveling and
- 2:07:16the aircraft becomes your bedroom.
- 2:07:19You're sleeping and nodding your head.
- 2:07:20I remember many years ago, quite some years ago, I was traveling
- 2:07:24somewhere. It was from another meeting.
- 2:07:26I caught a flight and I was going somewhere and I sat close
- 2:07:29to someone. And you know, this kind of sleep
- 2:07:32that's is not good. I'm not talking of the one you
- 2:07:36just behave yourself, the one that you are hitting someone,
- 2:07:38hitting the wall, hitting whatever it is.
- 2:07:41And one time I'm sure the man just looked and said, how can a
- 2:07:44young man be sleeping like this? I almost turned to tell the man,
- 2:07:49Sir, this man, you see, just because I'm a young man does not
- 2:07:53mean if you do half of my schedules, you'll be in the
- 2:07:55hospital by the next week. And I was just I'm not well.
- 2:07:59I don't know what I was doing there, hitting my head up and
- 2:08:02down and then I just said, Lord, I love you.
- 2:08:05That's what came from my heart. I have anybody doubts that I
- 2:08:08love God see me in this aircraft hitting my head from pillar to
- 2:08:11post because I love Jesus after all, I can just say I don't I'm
- 2:08:14not doing again. God, I've I've been angry this
- 2:08:17week. I was for forgiveness next week,
- 2:08:20but we have said yes. I've lost the ability to say no,
- 2:08:23It's gone. It's gone for me to leave his
- 2:08:29Christ and I really mean it to die his game.
- 2:08:32Don't just covet people's anointing.
- 2:08:35Look at the blood that drips on their altar.
- 2:08:39There are certain things God does with people.
- 2:08:42It's not necessarily because they are so special is because
- 2:08:46they died 1000 deaths without you seeing and God made a vow
- 2:08:50with them and said I would never allow any man.
- 2:08:53There are people you talk about them in secret, you schedule a
- 2:08:56season of punishment is as if God has special children.
- 2:09:00I tell you what is responsible for that kind of thing.
- 2:09:03Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice. Sometimes I look at my life and
- 2:09:10I said, Lord, I love you, I thank you.
- 2:09:12But this work, you need grace because sometimes physically,
- 2:09:16your physical strength as much as you, no matter how you manage
- 2:09:20your health, there's some things you cannot do.
- 2:09:22You have to be there. The demand is there everywhere.
- 2:09:26You have to minister to people and do a lot of things, but
- 2:09:30sometimes he grants that strength.
- 2:09:33But the truth of the matter is that sacrifice will become like
- 2:09:35a badge on your shoulder for as long as you leave.
- 2:09:39That's why God honors you because he loves you, but you
- 2:09:42also respect sacrifice. Let me tell you this, ladies and
- 2:09:45gentlemen, if you want to get into certain heights, even for
- 2:09:51those who practice occultism, how many of you know that there
- 2:09:54are certain heights? When they get there, they will
- 2:09:55call you and say, Mister man, now that you are here, choose
- 2:10:00between your wife or your child or whoever you say, how about my
- 2:10:07house? I said no, no, we need somebody
- 2:10:08dear to you, hi, for this money or for this election.
- 2:10:13So my wife is going to go or my husband is going to go.
- 2:10:15And later you hear people tell you, oh, I killed this, I killed
- 2:10:18this. I'm telling you it happens.
- 2:10:21Satan will always demand something.
- 2:10:25Give me your time, give me your this, give me your dad for
- 2:10:29physical things. So and you'll find out because
- 2:10:32of the evil things that man has done.
- 2:10:34You get up and you tell him you will not do this or you will
- 2:10:37not. He just laughs at you.
- 2:10:39He says you don't know who is talking.
- 2:10:40I will beat you. And the man says, be careful,
- 2:10:43young man, before you kill yourself for nothing.
- 2:10:47But the next day you wake up, your hands cannot move, your
- 2:10:49legs cannot move because the blood that was dripping on an
- 2:10:52altar, and I'm talking of this is satanic power.
- 2:10:55How much more a man who donated himself to God, not just that
- 2:10:59you gave God your finances, you carried yourself as a leading
- 2:11:03sacrifice and you dropped it on the altar and said my life, my
- 2:11:07life, meaning my finances, my brain, my everything,
- 2:11:12everything, everything. And God says you've done this
- 2:11:17for me. You're ready for another level
- 2:11:20of glory. It's a very powerful secret.
- 2:11:25The higher you go with God, the more there will be a demand for
- 2:11:29sacrifice. Let me tell you the truth, not
- 2:11:31in an evil way. If you don't want to subscribe
- 2:11:34to the law of sacrifice, don't press for growth, Sir, don't
- 2:11:38press for growth. There are.
- 2:11:40Heights in the Spirit. That you cannot get there.
- 2:11:45There are certain levels of the anointing.
- 2:11:47You want to speak to someone on a wheelchair, Stand up and let
- 2:11:50the person just get up. No, it's beyond just speaking,
- 2:11:54Sir. It's beyond just saying.
- 2:11:55And the Bible says they shall lay hands on the sick.
- 2:11:57You do it. Do it and you'll be surprised.
- 2:12:00Doesn't work that way, Sir. Apostle, I'm trusting God to
- 2:12:04bring this thing. I'm trusting God to give me a
- 2:12:06global ministry. Good desire.
- 2:12:09But do you know what it means to be trusted with the destiny of
- 2:12:12millions? God can wake you at any point
- 2:12:16and say pray for someone. He's connected to your grace.
- 2:12:19He's in Australia, His name is John.
- 2:12:22For the next two hours, pray. That's the implication.
- 2:12:28It's not about being a celebrity, it's the
- 2:12:30responsibility of staying in the place of prayer.
- 2:12:35In the name of Jesus, I pray for you, the grace to give you all.
- 2:12:41I can tell you this, you will never lose when you give your
- 2:12:45all to Jesus. Now I'll tell you this, when you
- 2:12:49get saved or born again as we call it, really theologically,
- 2:12:53what happens there is not you giving your life to Christ per
- 2:12:57SE. It is you receiving of His life.
- 2:13:00I know we say I give you my life and He understands what we're
- 2:13:03saying, but really, are we together?
- 2:13:07It is giving your life. I mean receiving of His life.
- 2:13:11The business of giving your life to Christ is the surrender and
- 2:13:15the consecration that follows being used by God.
- 2:13:19When you give your life to Christ, you can be born again.
- 2:13:23And yet you've not given your life to Christ because that
- 2:13:28means you have laid down your will.
- 2:13:31That means you have laid down your ability to tell God no.
- 2:13:35You have lost the ability. No matter what He says, your
- 2:13:38answer is yes. My brother, That's a difficult
- 2:13:41thing. Even God will not rush you into
- 2:13:43making that decision. He will give you as much time as
- 2:13:46you need. I've shared with you my story.
- 2:13:50Years ago. The Lord asked me a question and
- 2:13:52he said, Son, can you die for me?
- 2:13:54Then I thought about it. I said no, no, I know some of
- 2:13:59you will say yes. I said no, and then He did
- 2:14:07something to my heart because He knew I was not lying.
- 2:14:09I can be persecuted for you but to die.
- 2:14:11Then I said no, but he did something to my heart.
- 2:14:15Today I can tell you for me. This man you see here is already
- 2:14:18a dead man for Jesus. It's true.
- 2:14:24You want to carry glory. There is a relationship between
- 2:14:27death and glory. Yes, Lord.
- 2:15:10My life, someone turn it into a surrender, A prayer of surrender
- 2:15:16in one minute. Yes Lord, you have everything.
- 2:15:23Do it it as it brings you glory. One more time, from the depth of
- 2:15:32your heart. Yes, Lord.
- 2:15:37Yes, Lord. Hallelujah.
- 2:15:51These are the five platforms from Scripture.
- 2:15:56Anybody you see carrying on usual dimensions of God's
- 2:15:59presence has routed that journey through the prayer platform, the
- 2:16:06ward study platform, the worship platform, the obedience
- 2:16:12platform, and the sacrifice platform.
- 2:16:16Now let me show you something. This is the fifth thing I want
- 2:16:22you to learn. When the glory of God rests upon
- 2:16:33a man, it brings to that man's life 2 experiences.
- 2:16:41Please everybody, listen when you finally, by engaging these
- 2:16:47five platforms, when the glory of God finally shows up in your
- 2:16:54life in its various weights and dimensions, it essentially
- 2:16:59brings 2 experiences #1 encounters #2 interventions.
- 2:17:10Please listen carefully. Every time the glory of God
- 2:17:13rests upon a man, there are two experiences it will bring #1
- 2:17:19encounters #2 interventions. Let me say that again #1
- 2:17:26encounters #2 interventions. Encounters are experiences that
- 2:17:35open up new dimensions of God to you.
- 2:17:39It also strengthens your convictions about God and
- 2:17:43deepens your intimacy with God is called an encounter.
- 2:17:48Any experience that opens up new dimensions of God to you, that
- 2:17:54strengthens your convictions about God and deepens your
- 2:17:59intimacy with God is called an encounter.
- 2:18:02I'll say that again. Any experience that opens up new
- 2:18:06dimensions of God to you, strengthens your conviction
- 2:18:11about God, and then brings you into deeper intimacy with God is
- 2:18:22called an encounter. Job 42 and verse five.
- 2:18:24Job said, I have heard of thee with the hearing of the ear, but
- 2:18:29now my I see a thee. I heard of you, but now through
- 2:18:34an encounter my I see a thee first.
- 2:18:37John chapter 1123. I like apostle John first.
- 2:18:42John 1123. It says that which was from the
- 2:18:45beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our
- 2:18:50eyes, which we have looked upon and our hands have handled.
- 2:18:55This is a structure of an encounter.
- 2:18:57You did not just hear it. You do not just see it.
- 2:19:00You have come into the experience of it, of the word of
- 2:19:03life. Verse 2 He says, For the life
- 2:19:06was manifested, and we have seen it, and we bear witness, and
- 2:19:10show unto you that eternal life which was with the Father and
- 2:19:15was manifested to us. Verse 3, it says that which we
- 2:19:18have seen and that which we have heard.
- 2:19:21We declare unto you that ye may also have fellowship with us,
- 2:19:26and truly our fellowship is with the Father and His Son Jesus
- 2:19:31Christ. If the glory of God rests, do
- 2:19:37not waste that experience. It comes for you bringing
- 2:19:41encounters. The goal of encounters is to
- 2:19:45deepen your work with God, deepen your work with God, to
- 2:19:50furnish the reality of God, the reality of the spirit realm, to
- 2:19:55your heart, to your spirit. Then interventions.
- 2:19:59Interventions are supernatural acts.
- 2:20:01To intervene means to get involved with a matter or get
- 2:20:06involved in a matter so that you stop it from deteriorating, or
- 2:20:11so that you improve it and bring efficiency to it.
- 2:20:15That's what it means to intervene.
- 2:20:16When we say you are intervening, the first way to intervene is to
- 2:20:20get involved with that matter. Are you seeing why intervention
- 2:20:24is powerful? This is where your needs are now
- 2:20:27met. When the glory comes, Are you
- 2:20:29seeing why healings happen, Breakthroughs happen?
- 2:20:32Because when the glory comes, God now gets involved with your
- 2:20:37issue, gets involved. Listen carefully.
- 2:20:39He gets involved with the matters of your life, and when
- 2:20:43that happens, He begins to turn things around.
- 2:20:47A change of story. Miracles and that's the reason
- 2:20:53why you notice all these five must be captured in every
- 2:20:58worship service for you to receive and enjoy the glory of
- 2:21:02God maximally. Now you can see the design, the
- 2:21:05prayer platform, the word study platform, the worship platform,
- 2:21:10the obedience platform, the sacrifice platform.
- 2:21:14But when that glory comes, you must understand that it comes to
- 2:21:17bring encounters and interventions.
- 2:21:20Did you know you can focus on the intervention and leave the
- 2:21:24encounters? You will receive things from
- 2:21:26that glory healings breakthrough, but you will not
- 2:21:29know God. And then on the other hand, you
- 2:21:32can focus on encounters and be pressing in, whereas the healing
- 2:21:36anointing is there. There are people who come, for
- 2:21:38instance, for a service like this, and while it is in order
- 2:21:41of priority, it's important to press to know God.
- 2:21:45But don't, don't be surprised that as the Word of God is
- 2:21:48coming, the healing anointing is coming with it.
- 2:21:51The breakthrough anointing is common with it.
- 2:21:53Are we together? Even though I'm not speaking
- 2:21:55directly to your situation, but because you are under that
- 2:21:58cloud, God is getting involved with your situation and the Holy
- 2:22:02Spirit is correcting things while you are listening, you
- 2:22:05will be surprised that you leave this place and find out that
- 2:22:07testimonies just begin to come. Do you believe that?
- 2:22:11Supernatural testimonies? Supernatural testimonies.
- 2:22:17You see, it's, it's easier to get the glory there than to try
- 2:22:22to touch everybody 1 by 1. I cannot know your needs.
- 2:22:26I cannot even solve your needs by my strength.
- 2:22:29But my assignment is to work in partnership with these platforms
- 2:22:34and get the glory to come once. Once that glory comes, I can
- 2:22:39tell you I will just step down and watch what the glory does.
- 2:22:42Healing in the glory, breakthrough in the glory,
- 2:22:45lifting in the glory. Deliverance is in the glory.
- 2:22:48That's why sometimes as the Word of God is coming, you see all
- 2:22:51kinds of manifestations. God is getting involved with the
- 2:22:54lives of people, bringing healing, correcting things.
- 2:22:57Some of you right here. Once you are here, the Holy
- 2:23:00Spirit is walking, the angels are walking in your homes,
- 2:23:05working on your jobs. You are here right now and God
- 2:23:08is sorting the issue of your employment.
- 2:23:10You are here right now and God is sorting the issue of
- 2:23:13barrenness. You are here right now and God
- 2:23:15is sorting an issue you did not even pray about.
- 2:23:18That's what happens when the glory comes.
- 2:23:25Every time the glory of God rests on a man, rests on a
- 2:23:28people. It comes with two experiences,
- 2:23:31encounters, an intervention. Now, please listen to this.
- 2:23:37If you did not get anything I said, don't miss this one.
- 2:23:41If you miss this one, you did not get up to 70% because what
- 2:23:46I'm about to tell you now carries about 70% in terms of
- 2:23:50weight of what I intended telling you.
- 2:23:52Pray in the spirit for one minute.
- 2:23:58Yes, Sir. Yes Sir, I rejoice.
- 2:24:03Blessed are your ears for what you're about to hear.
- 2:24:08Shamalando sabraka de la caparanto siata.
- 2:24:15Brahma sama Sanaa caparatu siata.
- 2:24:19Glory to Jesus, it's a new season.
- 2:24:23New season in Jesus name we pray.
- 2:24:27Write this. You can make it #6 if you want
- 2:24:31to. Please write.
- 2:24:33The glory of God always comes with heavenly resources.
- 2:24:40The glory of God always comes to you alongside heavenly
- 2:24:46resources. These are the resources that
- 2:24:49become a system of advantage in your life.
- 2:24:53The day God showed me this, I screamed alone.
- 2:24:57I said I found my way. The glory of God comes always.
- 2:25:02It comes alongside heavenly resources.
- 2:25:07These are the resources that become a system of advantage for
- 2:25:12your dominion. That means when the glory of God
- 2:25:17shows up his manifested presence, it does not come
- 2:25:22alone. It always carries along with
- 2:25:24that glory supernatural heavenly resources, and I want to show
- 2:25:28you something about this right now.
- 2:25:32There is a name. These resources are called, they
- 2:25:35are called the riches of His glory, the riches of His glory.
- 2:25:42Ephesians chapter 3, verse 15 and 16, the riches of His glory.
- 2:25:50It says of whom? The whole family in heaven and
- 2:25:54earth is named that He would grant you.
- 2:25:58Everybody look up please. How does He grant you your
- 2:26:01needs? According to the riches of His
- 2:26:07glory. This is what sponsors your
- 2:26:10needs, the riches that come with that glory.
- 2:26:15So every time you get the glory of God to your direction, the
- 2:26:21glory does not come alone. It comes with supernatural
- 2:26:24resources. The Bible calls it the riches of
- 2:26:28His glory. This is also what the Bible
- 2:26:32calls all grace. Second Corinthians Chapter 9 and
- 2:26:35verse 8. This right here is the mystery
- 2:26:38of sufficiency that God is able to make all grace a bound
- 2:26:43towards you that ye having sufficiency in all things may
- 2:26:48abound on to every good work. Now here's a mystery God showed
- 2:26:54me Philippians 4 and verse 19. Let me show you how God designed
- 2:26:59the believers needs to be met. If you can get this revelation,
- 2:27:04you will never be stranded in your life.
- 2:27:07I really want you to believe this.
- 2:27:09Everybody read Ephesians 419. Ready 1 to go.
- 2:27:23Stop, stop. Read it again.
- 2:27:30Hold on, hold on. Who does the supplying?
- 2:27:34What does he supply? What do you understand by all
- 2:27:38your needs? Material needs, emotional needs?
- 2:27:43My God shall supply all your needs, but there is a formula.
- 2:27:48It says everything that comes with that glory is called the
- 2:27:52riches. My God shall supply all your
- 2:27:58needs, financial needs. So when God says forget about
- 2:28:04your needs, get my glory to come.
- 2:28:07This is what He's saying. My God shall supply all your
- 2:28:14needs, but the needs are supplied no matter what they are
- 2:28:18according to the riches. These riches are in glory by
- 2:28:25Christ Jesus. Do you know what this means?
- 2:28:35There are 8 of them and I'm going to list for you.
- 2:28:38Every time the glory comes, it comes with these eight packages.
- 2:28:42If you can receive them, there is no need on act as far as your
- 2:28:47journey is concerned that those riches cannot solve, my God
- 2:28:54shall supply. This is the value of His glory.
- 2:28:58So you are not pressing for nothing.
- 2:29:00Those who say you are seeking God, you would die of hunger.
- 2:29:02They don't know what they're saying except it's not the God
- 2:29:04of the Bible. This is how God designed man's
- 2:29:07needs to be solved. You use any other formula, it
- 2:29:11will frustrate you. Can we look at it?
- 2:29:17Are you interested? Did you get what I said first?
- 2:29:20Let's read that scripture one more time so that you will get
- 2:29:22it. Remember I told you the glory of
- 2:29:25God comes with packages. These packages are called the
- 2:29:31riches of His glory. So when Paul was praying over
- 2:29:34the church in Ephesus, he said, I pray for you, that God will
- 2:29:38grant according to the riches of his glory.
- 2:29:41And he began to list all his desire.
- 2:29:44Every supply in the Kingdom is according to the riches that
- 2:29:47come with God's glory. But my God, give it to us,
- 2:29:52please. Philippians 119 one Philippians
- 2:29:584/19 4:19 But my God, look at that scripture, give us NIVNIV
- 2:30:07will meet your needs or any other version, any version at
- 2:30:12all. Media it says and my God shall
- 2:30:16meet all your needs according to the riches of what?
- 2:30:23According to the So there is wealth in his glory.
- 2:30:27Something comes with that glory that God designed to empower man
- 2:30:32to be able to solve all the problems he can face in life.
- 2:30:36This is very powerful and there are 8 of them.
- 2:30:39They might not be the only ones, but I have studied everywhere
- 2:30:43the glory of God manifested and I've been able to aggregate
- 2:30:47these resources. They are called the riches of
- 2:30:49His glory. Every time the glory of God
- 2:30:52shows up, expect encounters and interventions, but it brings
- 2:30:58tokens. The tokens are called the riches
- 2:31:01of His glory. And please hear me, ladies and
- 2:31:03gentlemen, when you receive those things, they empower you
- 2:31:07to walk in dominion. No matter your background, no
- 2:31:11matter what is right or wrong in your life, if the glory of God
- 2:31:15can show up and you can receive the riches of that glory, you
- 2:31:20have found your way out of meeting any need.
- 2:31:23Can we look at it? The riches of His glory, the
- 2:31:29riches of His glory. When the glory rests upon a man,
- 2:31:35it brings at least eight of these resources.
- 2:31:37Let me list them very quickly. Number one wisdom #2
- 2:31:45understanding #3 favor #4 the anointing one wisdom 2
- 2:32:01understanding three favor 4 the anointing 5 His voice and with
- 2:32:09that voice comes guidance and direction.
- 2:32:11Put it in bracket. The fifth thing we receive that
- 2:32:14comes with the glory is the voice of God.
- 2:32:17I showed you the Scripture from that cloud of his voice.
- 2:32:20If that cloudy voice spoke the voice of God, and with that
- 2:32:24voice will come guidance and direction.
- 2:32:27Are you ready for number six? Number six, strength, slash
- 2:32:32capacity, strength. How many have I given you?
- 2:32:48Is it 6 Wisdom, understanding, favor, the anointing, the voice
- 2:32:54of God, bringing guidance and direction, strength.
- 2:32:58Are you ready for #7 Skill. Skill.
- 2:33:04I tell you, you know what skill is, Know how you can get it from
- 2:33:08His presence, that literally the glory of God can rest upon you.
- 2:33:13And by the time it lifts, supernatural abilities are
- 2:33:16activated. You are able to do things you
- 2:33:19could not do before. Are you ready for #8 Utterance.
- 2:33:26Utterance. The ability to communicate
- 2:33:31utterance. Let me give it to you again.
- 2:33:35These, ladies and gentlemen, are called the riches of His glory.
- 2:33:41Every human problem on earth depends on one or more of this
- 2:33:46to solve it. If it's financed, that's it
- 2:33:49right there. Are we together?
- 2:33:51If it's problem of influence as a man of God, when God wants to
- 2:33:55empower you to do ministry does not give you physical money.
- 2:33:58This is what he gives you. He brings his glory and when
- 2:34:01that glory comes, wisdom comes with it.
- 2:34:04Understanding comes with it. Is someone learning now?
- 2:34:07Yes, strength comes with it. The voice of God, utterance, the
- 2:34:12ability to communicate with power.
- 2:34:16It can come in many ways. The anointing skill, this is it
- 2:34:23right here. So when the glory of God comes,
- 2:34:31one song as a worshipper just comes.
- 2:34:35And from that one song, it came by wisdom.
- 2:34:39Are we together? That one song, you are not doing
- 2:34:43it for money, but everybody will listen to that one song and it
- 2:34:48opens up doors for people. If they ask the person how did
- 2:34:51you become blessed, The person would say the presence of it.
- 2:34:55Tell us the truth, what really happened.
- 2:34:57A businessman who builds a business in the presence, as the
- 2:35:01glory came, it came with wisdom. The wisdom gave him an idea.
- 2:35:06Go and register a tech firm and with that registration, because
- 2:35:10skill was imparted in him and unusual ability because of the
- 2:35:15favor that was on him. In a short time the right people
- 2:35:19connected to him. And you say, how did you rise?
- 2:35:22You say, look, I just know that I met this man.
- 2:35:25He introduced me to this man. No, your needs were met by the
- 2:35:29riches of his glory. The riches of his glory.
- 2:35:34The riches of his glory. How come a good man married you
- 2:35:39like this? I just.
- 2:35:40I think. I think because I'm a fine lady.
- 2:35:42Keep quiet. The riches of his glory.
- 2:35:45Did you hear what I said? I mean what I'm the riches of
- 2:35:48his glory. The riches of his glory.
- 2:35:54It brought light upon you like Esther.
- 2:35:57And when a Hazaro saw you, he did not know that there was a
- 2:36:00kind of ointment that was being robbed on you in the secret
- 2:36:03place. When a Hazaro saw you, the Bible
- 2:36:06says he loved Esther and took hard to be his wife in the place
- 2:36:10of Vashti. Now let me tell you this.
- 2:36:15If the church taught people this, a businessman will not see
- 2:36:19it as a waste to seek his presence.
- 2:36:22But the way the church has taught it is choose either to be
- 2:36:25productive as a career person or to remain redundant as a
- 2:36:29spiritual person. The Bible does not teach that
- 2:36:32this is where the king priest comes.
- 2:36:35The priesthood is what brings the glory.
- 2:36:37By the time you receive, you cannot begin to manifest as a
- 2:36:41king until you verify that the riches have dropped.
- 2:36:44Once the riches of that glory has dropped, go to the
- 2:36:46marketplace. You are ready to do business in
- 2:36:49deep waters. You will carry the wisdom.
- 2:36:51If they now tell you, where did it come from?
- 2:36:54You tell them, come. Are you seeing how as a king you
- 2:36:57can draw men back to His presence because the dexterity
- 2:37:00of your results? Then how come your bank?
- 2:37:03How come this is working so well?
- 2:37:06You tell them, Can I tell you the truth?
- 2:37:08Will you believe it? It is God.
- 2:37:11What do you mean it is God? They are right.
- 2:37:13Explain it. It started with His presence and
- 2:37:18when I stayed there, my God decided to bring supplies.
- 2:37:23This supplies will attend to every need, the needs that come
- 2:37:28with the riches of His glory. Ladies and gentlemen, I don't
- 2:37:34mean to sound arrogant, but this is what brought you here, the
- 2:37:38riches of His glory. When God sent us to Abuja, you
- 2:37:42did not sign anything that you were going to come, but because
- 2:37:46we knew that with the riches will come, wisdom will come
- 2:37:50understanding. So someone we sent a post, where
- 2:37:53do I start from? I don't have a job, where do I
- 2:37:56start from? Nothing is working in my life.
- 2:37:58You see where to start from? Now go back and get your first
- 2:38:01assignment is not to look for a job.
- 2:38:03I'm telling you, your first assignment is not to start
- 2:38:06business. Write the idea and keep it.
- 2:38:09Your first idea is to get the glory.
- 2:38:11Just get the glory. No matter how long it will take,
- 2:38:16get the glory. So when you find someone who is
- 2:38:19saying well, they say you all is just prayer, prayer, prayer.
- 2:38:23No, it's not just prayer. I'm engaging the channels that
- 2:38:27bring the glory because my function as a king begins only
- 2:38:31when the glory comes and I receive the riches.
- 2:38:35Look at me. You cannot buy wisdom in the
- 2:38:37market. They don't sell understanding in
- 2:38:40the shopping mall. You don't buy favor in the mall.
- 2:38:44No, McDonald's doesn't sell favor or any of these things.
- 2:38:49They sell good things, but not favor, no Sir.
- 2:38:54When the university is giving you your degree or your
- 2:38:57master's, they give you an accreditation for learning
- 2:39:00across a field of knowledge. They don't place favor on it, no
- 2:39:04Sir. What of utterance?
- 2:39:07The capacity to communicate thoughts in a way that becomes
- 2:39:11penetrating and convicting. Nobody will listen to you when
- 2:39:14you don't have utterance, no matter how aggregated and
- 2:39:17coherent your ideas are, if you do not know how to present it.
- 2:39:22Utterance is different from oratory.
- 2:39:24God can give you both. Moses had a problem speaking you
- 2:39:29remember and when he was complaining God said is it that
- 2:39:33you don't know what comes with my glory?
- 2:39:35You've been crying for my glory and you are still communicating.
- 2:39:38You are still crying on how to speak because you have
- 2:39:40disrespected that dimension. You don't know that oratory and
- 2:39:44ultras comes. I will raise Aaron and give him
- 2:39:47the same thing you would have gotten if Moses had kept quiet
- 2:39:51as the glory rested upon him. He will find out he was no
- 2:39:54longer his Tamara. Rest on me the riches of His
- 2:40:04glory. When I found this, I saw the
- 2:40:06value of God's presence. You see that there is wealth in
- 2:40:10seeking God. Most of the things we are
- 2:40:13looking for can be found in His presence.
- 2:40:16I can tell you this, I've written a few songs or I've
- 2:40:19received a few songs, almost every one of those songs today,
- 2:40:23by the grace of God, if I were to put it as a financial system,
- 2:40:27it will still empower me. It came in the glory.
- 2:40:30This sermons, you see, including what you are hearing today, the
- 2:40:34thousands of people following across the globe.
- 2:40:37Ladies and gentlemen, you know, I usually would joke when I'm
- 2:40:40talking with Prof I said, who am I and who is my father's house?
- 2:40:43What empowers men to be distinguished is not necessarily
- 2:40:46who they are. It is the richest of His glory.
- 2:40:49That's what you are celebrating. Every time you celebrate a man,
- 2:40:53you are celebrating the weightiness that that man has
- 2:40:56stayed with God and has not only received the deposit of that
- 2:41:00glory, but with it has come wisdom, has come understanding
- 2:41:04has come power. No man can silence you when you
- 2:41:06carry it. That's what the Bible calls true
- 2:41:09riches. That's the capital that buys
- 2:41:11money. Yes, Sir.
- 2:41:14That's the capital that buys money.
- 2:41:19That's the capital that buys money.
- 2:41:23I found a way needs are met. I found a way needs are met
- 2:41:28without distracting you. When your needs are met through
- 2:41:32the arrival of the glory, it will never distract you, because
- 2:41:36before interventions come, we'll be encounters.
- 2:41:40It is always encounters and intervention.
- 2:41:45This is how I run my life and that's the reason why I know
- 2:41:48that no power can bring you down, not when the glory is
- 2:41:52there. Now let me tell you this.
- 2:41:53Look at me, intelligent people, if you are Satan and you want to
- 2:41:58fight someone, what will you fight in light of all that you
- 2:42:01have learned? Now, will you fight his
- 2:42:03finances? Too small a reason.
- 2:42:05Will you fight his marriage? No.
- 2:42:07What will you fight? Whatever will stop him from
- 2:42:11having the glory? His prayer life, his watch,
- 2:42:14study life, his fortitude for obedience.
- 2:42:17Are you releasing what Satan steals when the Bible calls him
- 2:42:20a thief? He's not your money.
- 2:42:22What does Satan need money for? No, he steals your prayer life,
- 2:42:26your zeal. These are weightier commodities
- 2:42:29in the spirit. Satan will prefer to steal zeal
- 2:42:32than finances. What will you do with your
- 2:42:34finances if it steals your prayer life?
- 2:42:39He steals your watch, study life.
- 2:42:41He steals your watch, your worship life.
- 2:42:44You just think it's a financial issue.
- 2:42:46No, he wouldn't touch the finances.
- 2:42:48So you don't know what is happening.
- 2:42:49Whereas the opportunity for the glory to rest is what is
- 2:42:55fighting. And every time the glory of God
- 2:42:58cannot rest, you are called Ichabod, and the moment that
- 2:43:02happens is a matter of time. You will dry up and you will be
- 2:43:06in want. For as long as the prodigal son
- 2:43:08was within the atmosphere of his father, there was no luck, there
- 2:43:13was no need. As soon as he went outside of
- 2:43:16the house, the place of supply, he began to deplete ministers of
- 2:43:21the gospel. This is where sermons come from,
- 2:43:24that glory. This is where power comes from,
- 2:43:28that glory. This is where stamina comes from
- 2:43:31that glory. This is where the healing
- 2:43:33anointing comes from, that glory.
- 2:43:36So a man of God can stay with God and the anointing can rest
- 2:43:40upon him in a secret place, the healing anointing and God will
- 2:43:44lead that man to pray for one billionaire and the billionaire
- 2:43:48gets healed of cancer. Are you seeing that?
- 2:43:50Now the billionaire gets healed and said, I've spent money
- 2:43:54because God used you to heal me. Any project in ministry, just
- 2:43:59know that I am here now. If that man heals 50 of such
- 2:44:02people, God has raised an army and they stand by him.
- 2:44:07And you're wondering how the man rose the riches of his presence.
- 2:44:13How about Aceo that comes up with an innovative idea and
- 2:44:17you're asking him, how did this happen?
- 2:44:19You came up with an application in the secret place.
- 2:44:22God showed him how the 10, the next 10 years will be and he got
- 2:44:26up and use technology to translate prophecy and things
- 2:44:31began to work. Things began to work.
- 2:44:35I can tell you the stories of people who started things.
- 2:44:39I'm not using the pulpit. So you don't think it's a bias
- 2:44:41of ministry Businessman who has shown things and they took that
- 2:44:47step. Many of them have become
- 2:44:49billionaires today. This is what it means to work
- 2:44:52circumspectly. Don't waste your time.
- 2:44:55There's riches in His presence, there's riches in His presence,
- 2:45:01There's riches in His presence. Sir, the time you spend in
- 2:45:04prayer is not a waste. My dear sister, the time you
- 2:45:08spend loving him, now you see, listen, listen, listen.
- 2:45:12Do you know you can pray and not get the glory if this
- 2:45:16consciousness is not in you? You can study the Bible as an
- 2:45:20isolated spiritual event, not knowing to what end, and it will
- 2:45:25not bless you. You can obey randomly, you can
- 2:45:29give randomly. What gives value to these
- 2:45:31platforms is that you know what they deliver.
- 2:45:34So there's an expectation. There's an expectation.
- 2:45:40When I want to get the glory of God manifest, what do I do?
- 2:45:43Same formula. It will never change.
- 2:45:46It's not a secret. When you are confused in your
- 2:45:49life, what do you do? Same formula.
- 2:45:51The prayer platform, the word study platform, the worship
- 2:45:55platform. Is someone learning now?
- 2:45:57The obedience platform, the sacrifice platform.
- 2:46:00What happens if you're trusting God for greater anointing in
- 2:46:03ministry? Same thing.
- 2:46:05The alternative is to go and consult with the devil.
- 2:46:08But if he's God's way, that's it a possible.
- 2:46:10I'm a businessman, I don't know what to do in Abuja.
- 2:46:12I cannot pay my rent. I am tired.
- 2:46:15Let me tell you this, you go around meeting people, you only
- 2:46:18be disappointed. Go to the secret place, cry
- 2:46:21there, complain and talk and cry and let God solve your problem.
- 2:46:26He will show you something, He will direct you.
- 2:46:33If God tells you, go and meet so, so, so, and so person to
- 2:46:35help you because He's the one who spoke to you from His glory,
- 2:46:40from His presence, He will place an anointing on your head.
- 2:46:43By the time you are going to that person, the person will
- 2:46:45attend to you favorably. You know why?
- 2:46:48Because that was a response from His presence.
- 2:46:51But when you sit down and you just mechanically calculate, I
- 2:46:55think this man is rich. Let me try to get 1,000,000 from
- 2:46:58him. No politicians, Christian
- 2:47:00politicians. Let me give you a secret.
- 2:47:03There's no need consulting the devil for anything.
- 2:47:06I can tell you this for free. Stay in His presence.
- 2:47:09Strategies will come, glory will come, power will come.
- 2:47:13You will become like a magnet and you will watch the wonder of
- 2:47:17what you of what will happen through your life.
- 2:47:19Businessman, I'm telling you this, don't think it's
- 2:47:22fanaticism when you take time to pray and press.
- 2:47:26I have a dear friend, great person I love so much, wealthy
- 2:47:30person, billionaire today. I can tell you that's how he got
- 2:47:33there. He would lock himself and
- 2:47:37worship and pray and praise and do a lot of things, business
- 2:47:42with God and come up with ideas, ideas.
- 2:47:46He will execute those ideas and it's almost like a Midas touch.
- 2:47:50Whatever he touches becomes gold.
- 2:47:52That's the secret. Now let me tell you this.
- 2:47:56Go and meet someone who is not born again and call him
- 2:48:00sincerely and say, Sir, tell me honestly, what is the secret of
- 2:48:05your greatness? If that person is honest with
- 2:48:08you, among the many things they will tell you, they will tell
- 2:48:12you a demonic parallel of what I just told you.
- 2:48:15Do you know one person who experienced this?
- 2:48:17Jesus himself. Satan took him and said, listen,
- 2:48:21I know you want to save man and all of that, but I have an
- 2:48:25alternative route for you. Can you bow to me and I will
- 2:48:29give you these things? What was Satan going to give
- 2:48:32him? Shekels of silver?
- 2:48:34No, no. Is someone learning?
- 2:48:42I'm going to speak over your life and something heavy is
- 2:48:46going to come upon you this night and let me tell you this,
- 2:48:49whatever comes upon you this night is called the riches of
- 2:48:52His glory. You will live with this and
- 2:48:55bring back fearful testimonies. It is this thing that is on your
- 2:49:02head that you are. Sometimes we just say what is it
- 2:49:05on you? That's what makes your cop to
- 2:49:07run over, Sir. That's what makes your cop to
- 2:49:09run over. The man speaking to you is not
- 2:49:14stupid. I love you too much to mislead
- 2:49:16you. I have found a way of the glory
- 2:49:22as a man of God who was sick. He was diagnosed with a
- 2:49:26condition, I think it's called shingles or something like that.
- 2:49:30This man was sick and it was clear he was going to die.
- 2:49:33His body was swelling, bringing out all kinds of rashes and
- 2:49:37roots. You know what happened to him?
- 2:49:39He decided to create scriptures like a drug.
- 2:49:43You know how you take a drug morning, afternoon, evening.
- 2:49:46That's how he was feeding himself with scriptures for
- 2:49:49about a year, or is it three years?
- 2:49:51He did that nonstop. Then he will pray, then he will
- 2:49:55worship. At the end of was it one or two
- 2:49:57years, if I understand the story that didn't dried up and went
- 2:50:01like that, you know what happened?
- 2:50:03The glory. This is one way to help sick
- 2:50:07people when somebody tells you I'm sick, just even if you
- 2:50:11cannot help them, the greatest way to help them is one
- 2:50:14introduce them to Jesus and then #2 using one of these channels.
- 2:50:20More importantly, worship. Create the atmosphere of the
- 2:50:23glory and leave them there and watch what happens when they
- 2:50:27took a rod that did not have root.
- 2:50:30Once it entered where the ark was, by the next day it began to
- 2:50:35board. I found a formula that I will
- 2:50:40never live for the rest of my life.
- 2:50:42My God shall supply your needs in the Kingdom.
- 2:50:47Needs are supplied according to the riches of His glory.
- 2:50:55Whatever His glory cannot give you, no man can claim to give
- 2:50:59you. And if they do give you, I
- 2:51:02assure you to come with side effects.
- 2:51:04Is it wealth? It comes with His glory.
- 2:51:07Is it wisdom? It comes with His glory.
- 2:51:10Are you seeing how Jesus got everything He needed for his
- 2:51:12assignment? Because Jesus did not come from
- 2:51:17the womb of Mary carrying baskets.
- 2:51:19So I brought this one from heaven.
- 2:51:21This one is she kills exactly the amount I will need for 33
- 2:51:24years. This other one I came with my
- 2:51:27pajamas from heaven. I came with this one because I
- 2:51:30know men are wicked. Nobody will give me anything.
- 2:51:32No, no, no, no. He came empty.
- 2:51:36But as he began to walk, interacting with prayer, the
- 2:51:40word of God. Please someone get this.
- 2:51:42Never say I don't have anything. You have the secret to get all
- 2:51:47things is the glory. That's it right there.
- 2:51:51The glory, Sir, the glory of God.
- 2:51:54Our prayer tonight will be rest on me.
- 2:51:58Rest this glory in unusual proportions.
- 2:52:02Rest on me for a man of God it will be.
- 2:52:05Rest on my ministry, rest on my life, rest on my children.
- 2:52:10Are we together? The riches of His glory rest on
- 2:52:14me. Rest on me.
- 2:52:16Wisdom, rest on me. Favor from the glory, rest on
- 2:52:21me. Power from the glory, rest on
- 2:52:24me. Your voice through the glory,
- 2:52:27let it speak to me and rest on me.
- 2:52:30Utterance, let it rest on me. If that happens to you, then in
- 2:52:36addition to His manifested presence, you have received
- 2:52:40equipings for an excelling life. Please do not forget this
- 2:52:43scripture that God grants onto you according to the riches of
- 2:52:49His glory and He supplies all your needs according to His
- 2:52:57riches in glory. It does not supply it according
- 2:53:01to your desires, according to the riches that come, which is
- 2:53:06glory. I look at my life today and God
- 2:53:18has been very merciful to me. Very.
- 2:53:21I owe him many lifetimes of gratitude, but I backtrack my
- 2:53:28life. Everything good that has
- 2:53:30happened to my life today happened because of the
- 2:53:36manifestation of one or more or all of these things we call the
- 2:53:42riches of His glory. Whether it is favor opening
- 2:53:46doors, whether it's wisdom bringing solutions to my life
- 2:53:50and to the life of others, whether it's understanding
- 2:53:53unusual comprehension of Scripture, whether it is the
- 2:53:56anointing producing supernatural possibilities, whether is
- 2:54:00strength, strength as the staying power, the grace to
- 2:54:04challenge storms and stay. It doesn't matter in what form
- 2:54:08or fashion. Whether it is utterance, it
- 2:54:10doesn't matter. There is nothing good in my life
- 2:54:13today that I do not credit to the glory of God.
- 2:54:18If you ever see anything good in the life of this man standing
- 2:54:21before you or this ministry, know it for a Shorty that it
- 2:54:27came in the glory. This is the reason why we keep
- 2:54:29insisting. Are you seeing why?
- 2:54:32If the worship team does what, if they do what they do well,
- 2:54:36then they fulfill that mandate of creating the atmosphere for
- 2:54:39the glory to come. As we pray was setting the
- 2:54:42atmosphere for the glory to come as we obey instructions, as we
- 2:54:46listen to the Word, as we sacrifice all of this.
- 2:54:50You know what that means. By the time you spend a year
- 2:54:52here or two years here, you should be able to justify your
- 2:54:57being in the presence of God by a measure of the weight of God's
- 2:55:01glory on your life and then the resources, the riches of that
- 2:55:05glory. I should be able to see wisdom
- 2:55:07functioning in your life or understanding are we together,
- 2:55:11or utterance, or creativity, or favor?
- 2:55:15These are the things you go and transact with that brings you
- 2:55:19wealth, brings you increase, solves your problems, and then
- 2:55:23grant you the grace to work in dominion.
- 2:55:26You will never be able to work in influence and dominion if you
- 2:55:30do not have the riches of His glory.
- 2:55:34Are you ready to pray? Please hold hands whilst you are
- 2:55:37seated. Just hold hands with someone
- 2:55:39whilst you are seated and begin to pray.
- 2:55:41Tonight is a serious business. Go ahead and.
- 2:55:50Pray Holy Spirit, you are welcome here.
- 2:56:00Come flood this place and feel the atmosphere.
- 2:56:10Go ahead and pray. Begin to pray in the Spirit.
- 2:56:21To be overcome by your presence, Lord sing Holy Spirit.
- 2:56:38Is what our God to be overcome by your presence?
- 2:56:51Lord, let us become more aware of your presence.
- 2:56:57Let us experience the glory of your goodness.
- 2:57:04Let us become more aware of your presence.
- 2:57:11Let us experience glory. Let us become more.
- 2:57:21Are you brave? One more time, let us become
- 2:57:25more aware. This is what it means to be a
- 2:57:50sign and a wonder. Investing in the glory is the
- 2:57:56greatest investment I know. Look at me, please look at me.
- 2:58:04We teach in business that the only way money grows is
- 2:58:08investment. It is true.
- 2:58:14The greatest investment is not stocks and shares, believe me.
- 2:58:19The greatest investment is not buying land.
- 2:58:23The greatest investment is the investment in His presence so
- 2:58:27that you can host His glory in ever increasing dimensions.
- 2:58:34Glory to glory, glory to glory, wisdom to wisdom, power to
- 2:58:42power. A time will come.
- 2:58:44You will become like a rare earth metal.
- 2:58:47You know how metals are rare, like diamond?
- 2:58:50You become so rare. If you find yourself in a
- 2:58:54territory, it's like a it's like a way from your presence.
- 2:58:57Everybody will look for you, not just for what you.
- 2:59:01Your presence becomes such a blessing.
- 2:59:03You don't have to be a preacher. It's the rarity of the glory
- 2:59:07that has been invested in your life.
- 2:59:11I now see why men like Billy Graham will step into a place.
- 2:59:16Listen, if you know anything about Billy Graham, he's not
- 2:59:19even someone who is loud and shouty.
- 2:59:22So what was responsible for the strange influence?
- 2:59:25It was said that the Queen of England one time, she was, you
- 2:59:29know, depressed and had some problems.
- 2:59:32She had to write Billy Graham seeking for a solution on what
- 2:59:35to do. The only preacher I'm aware of
- 2:59:38who preached in North Korea, Billy Graham, what did he do?
- 2:59:42The riches of his presence. What did Billy Graham teach that
- 2:59:47you did not know? There were professors in his
- 2:59:49days who were more knowledgeable than him.
- 2:59:52But that's the difference with the presence.
- 2:59:55You will say something that is so simple, yet the response from
- 2:59:59your generation will be so powerful, almost charm like,
- 3:00:02because it came from his presence.
- 3:00:05Everybody can say God is good. It sounds like an ordinary
- 3:00:08statement, but when you say God is good, everybody says it's
- 3:00:12true God is good. Who said it?
- 3:00:15A statement that was always said before you said it.
- 3:00:18But because you said it from the glory God is good becomes a
- 3:00:21ladder that opens you up. Let me tell you this, when you
- 3:00:27understand the glory, you will never the involved in
- 3:00:31competition is a waste of time, it's a waste of energy.
- 3:00:35The same Lord is rich unto all. Everybody can sing a song, same
- 3:00:42song, but you will raise that same song.
- 3:00:45But because you are singing from the glory, you will sing a very
- 3:00:49simple song and everybody will listen to you and say, please, I
- 3:00:53want this man for the conference.
- 3:00:55I want this man for the convention.
- 3:00:57And you look at the person and say, what is it about men?
- 3:01:00You know, someone asked me a question one day.
- 3:01:02I said, apostle, and I'm sorry that I'm having to talk about
- 3:01:05this and then we'll pray is that apostle, I've listened to you
- 3:01:09and honestly, I respect your revelation and all of that.
- 3:01:13You're a great man. I appreciate you.
- 3:01:15But many of the things you say, I already know.
- 3:01:19I know them already. So what is it that your
- 3:01:22teachings do? I said, you see, that's the
- 3:01:24point. You are looking at the education
- 3:01:27of my teachings, and that's wonderful.
- 3:01:29But there is another layer to that thing.
- 3:01:31That's the one that is really hitting you.
- 3:01:33Beyond what I'm saying is the glory realm is the glory.
- 3:01:38Simple words, ancient words, simple, basic.
- 3:01:43Same Scripture, John 316, same scripture, John 1010.
- 3:01:48The difference, ladies and gentlemen, is not what you say.
- 3:01:52This is the danger of copying people.
- 3:01:54You can copy the glory. You can copy the sermon, copy
- 3:01:58the verses, copy the cliche. And when you say it, the life
- 3:02:02that came when the preacher said it will not come from you,
- 3:02:05because you were saying it from the glory.
- 3:02:07Is someone learning now? Let us become more aware of your
- 3:02:18glory. Let us experience the glory of
- 3:02:24your goodness. Let us become more aware of your
- 3:02:32glory and let us experience. Listen to me.
- 3:02:43We're about to pray. Those following online, I have
- 3:02:47read my Bible. This is the key to becoming a
- 3:02:50voice. This is the key to becoming an
- 3:02:53eternal Excellency and a joy of many generation.
- 3:02:57Invest in stocks, buy land, Invest in secular education.
- 3:03:03That's wonderful. Invest in technical knowledge.
- 3:03:07What your greatest investment should be?
- 3:03:09His presence. You stay there through prayer.
- 3:03:14Stay there as you study the Word.
- 3:03:17Stay there as you worship, stay there as you obey.
- 3:03:23Stay there as you sacrifice. And let me tell you, according
- 3:03:27to the integrity of Scripture, those are the patterns that
- 3:03:30bring the glory. When the glory of God rests upon
- 3:03:33you, expect encounters, interventions.
- 3:03:38Interventions will solve your problems and bring you
- 3:03:41supernatural solutions, encounters deep in your work
- 3:03:44with God. It builds faith, genuine Bible
- 3:03:48faith in you. But with that glory will come
- 3:03:51tokens, the token of wisdom, of understanding, and they come in
- 3:03:57incremental dimensions. So that you had a measure
- 3:03:59yesterday does not mean you cannot have a higher measure.
- 3:04:03The token of utterance or a tree.
- 3:04:06Are we together, the token of the voice of God, bringing
- 3:04:09guidance and direction, strength, capacity, the
- 3:04:13anointing favor, all of this. By the time you carry all those
- 3:04:18things as a priest, you have done well in the secret place.
- 3:04:21You can go anywhere. You can go and do business in
- 3:04:24deep waters and it will be nothing short of dominion in
- 3:04:28your life. Strip.
- 3:04:30Me. From everything I have today, I
- 3:04:34really mean what I'm saying. Everything, everything.
- 3:04:38Take away ministry, take away in court fame, take away this
- 3:04:44deceptive celebrity things, take it.
- 3:04:46Reduce me to how I was. Just leave me with this
- 3:04:49knowledge. I will start again.
- 3:04:52It would take time, but I will get here and surpass it faster,
- 3:04:57Faster than it took me. Because when everything is said
- 3:05:01and done, when I stand alone with nothing, I will laugh at
- 3:05:05you. You took everything but the most
- 3:05:08important thing. You left him.
- 3:05:11If all I have is Jesus, I've got something more than gold, and I
- 3:05:18will shout it to my world. Jesus is more than gold.
- 3:05:24Listen that if all I have is his presence, I've got something
- 3:05:30more than gold. I will.
- 3:05:33Sing it to this world. Jesus is more than.
- 3:05:38One more time. If all I have is Jesus, I've got
- 3:05:43something more than gold. I will tell it to my world.
- 3:05:48Jesus is more than gold. The next time you say mine is
- 3:05:57wealthy, don't say he's wealthy because you saw a Jeep.
- 3:06:01That's not true wealth. Don't say he's wealthy because
- 3:06:04he owns shares and stocks. Wonderful, but that's not true
- 3:06:08wealth. When you say man is wealthy, it
- 3:06:11is because he has mustered the art of God's presence.
- 3:06:15He knows how to bring the glory, and from the glory he knows how
- 3:06:19to draw the resources that make for dominion.
- 3:06:22This is how champions lead. There is no other way of doing
- 3:06:26it. You don't have a job.
- 3:06:29Start with His presence. You don't have business.
- 3:06:33Start with His presence. Your company's not growing.
- 3:06:36Start with His presence. The presence through the five
- 3:06:40channels bring the glory. The glory brings encounters.
- 3:06:45It brings intervention. With the glory will bring the
- 3:06:49tokens called the riches of His glory.
- 3:06:53The moment you have that laugh at your world you've had what
- 3:06:57technology cannot erode. Unfortunately, if you were a
- 3:07:01professional typewriter and a typeist using a typewriter by
- 3:07:05now you will be obsolete. Look up.
- 3:07:07Please let me not scare you. We're about to pray.
- 3:07:09How many of you know and please listen to me.
- 3:07:12How many of you know that the tech giants are telling us now
- 3:07:16and I don't mean to scare you. It's not something to hide that
- 3:07:19by the end of this year into the next three years, many of the
- 3:07:23jobs you see right now, the truth is that AI has come to
- 3:07:27overtake. Most corporations will be
- 3:07:29downsizing and downsizing and downsizing because they want to
- 3:07:34maximize profits. The Bible already said signs of
- 3:07:37the end time. That knowledge shall increase.
- 3:07:40You see what is happening around the global space right now.
- 3:07:44Organizations at a macro level are crumbling overnight.
- 3:07:49Does that look like Revelations 18 and 19?
- 3:07:52Babylon. The greatest falling is falling
- 3:07:54in one hour. Is your dissolution come?
- 3:07:57There are formidable organizations globally that
- 3:08:00nobody would have imagined they would crumble, but they are all
- 3:08:03coming to their knees. Let me tell you this, don't
- 3:08:06allow the pride of men deceive you.
- 3:08:09All will come and go, but His presence remains the one who
- 3:08:13will last. AI can never replace the
- 3:08:16presence of God and the wisdom that comes with that presence
- 3:08:20and the favor that comes with that presence.
- 3:08:22Do not be afraid of technology. It is not a curse.
- 3:08:26There are still about 8.2 billion people on earth.
- 3:08:29All of them have needs. The answer is beyond technology.
- 3:08:33The answer comes from above and the one who can stay with God
- 3:08:37and receive the riches of His presence.
- 3:08:40You don't have to be a preacher, but you have to be a man of His
- 3:08:44presence. Rise up on your feet.
- 3:08:52Who is like you, Lord and all, dear?
- 3:08:57We're up, you know, much less love and beauty and less worth.
- 3:09:07Nothing in this world can satisfy Jesus.
- 3:09:15You're the cow that won't run dry.
- 3:09:18Sing that part again. Jesus, you're the cop.
- 3:09:20Jesus, you're the cop that would run dry.
- 3:09:25Jesus, you're the cop that would run dry.
- 3:09:33Jesus, you're the cop that would run dry.
- 3:09:40Jesus, you're the cop that would run dry.
- 3:09:49Lift your voice and thank God for everything you have heard
- 3:09:51tonight. Rest on me, that's your prayer.
- 3:09:58Rest on me. The path to ever increasing
- 3:10:02glory, Rest on me. When all is said and done, the
- 3:10:12real wealth of the believer is the presence, the glory, and the
- 3:10:19riches that come with that glory.
- 3:10:22The presence, the glory and the riches that come with that
- 3:10:29glory. The presence, the glory, and the
- 3:10:33riches that come with that glory.
- 3:10:43Hallelujah. Mention every one of these five
- 3:10:47channels. Prayer, word study, worship,
- 3:10:51obedience, sacrifice. Please lift your voice and pray
- 3:10:55and say, Lord, I obtain grace. Grace to be effective in every
- 3:11:00one of these areas. Pray over your prayer life, your

- 3:13:18tokens that come with His glory. Please pray this some of you

- 3:13:39please allow me to speak over your life.

- 3:14:04glory. He will put his angels charge
- 3:14:09over me. Jehovah Chara cares for Jehovah
- 3:14:17Chara cares for me. When God wants to help you, He
- 3:14:24gives you the gift of His presence and the glory that
- 3:14:30comes with that presence and the resources that come with that
- 3:14:34glory. When God brings His glory to
- 3:14:37you, He has answered your prayer, because in that glory
- 3:14:42are the resources needed for life and godliness.
- 3:14:46Apostle, where is my promotion? You left it in the glory.
- 3:14:50Go back there and get it Apostle, where is my job?

- 3:15:07glory, go back and get it. Everything missing in your life
- 3:15:11I can tell you find it back when you get back to the glory.
- 3:15:14The message tonight is His presence and His glory should be
- 3:15:18your greatest investment, especially this year, because
- 3:15:22when you find the glory, the encounters and interventions
- 3:15:26that come from that glory and the resources that come from
- 3:15:29that glory, then you are made. You found the key to solve all
- 3:15:34your needs and to be a blessing. Let me speak over your life,
- 3:15:40Father, You anointed me to preach this message and to bring
- 3:15:43this mystery to our global family.
- 3:15:46And as a contribution to the body of Christ, I pray in the

- 3:16:26sacrifice in the name of Jesus. And I pray in the nightly name
- 3:16:32of Jesus, that as we invest in these platforms, Lord, may your
- 3:16:36glory come speedily. May the weightiness of your
- 3:16:40glory come speedily. May it come upon us speedily.

- 3:18:32We've been stretched on. Usually tonight let me just do
- 3:18:35the altar call. Just give me two minutes and
- 3:18:37then we're done. Thank you for your patience.
- 3:18:39All stand whilst we're still standing for your sake.
- 3:18:42We're taking a minute or two. Our time is fast spent.
- 3:18:45We've stretched into the night. Thank you very much for your
- 3:18:48patience. Sometimes the Holy Ghost just
- 3:18:50stretches with us, but it's a worthy bargain.
- 3:18:53You are in this place and you're saying apostle, I need to know
- 3:18:57Jesus. Please listen.
- 3:18:58Let's minimize movement. While I thought the Holy Ghost
- 3:19:03continued, You press it in your heart.
- 3:19:06It came as a first impulse, then it came again, then it came
- 3:19:10again. That's the nudging of the
- 3:19:11Spirit. And the Holy Spirit is telling
- 3:19:13you, you can walk out right here and make it right with Jesus,
- 3:19:16wherever you are. We believe in Jesus.
- 3:19:20This is the difference between walking in God's path and
- 3:19:23superstition. It always starts with Jesus.
- 3:19:26Perhaps you have every other thing.
- 3:19:27My nose Jesus, you don't have much.
- 3:19:30He wants to give you everything. He wants to bring you life and
- 3:19:33with that life, victory, dominion and completeness, you
- 3:19:36are here. You are tired of living life
- 3:19:38your way. You are saying apostle, I want a
- 3:19:40new beginning or you are rededicating your life to Jesus.
- 3:19:43I'm going to count one to five. I just need one honest person to
- 3:19:47leave his or her seat. Make your way to the front.
- 3:19:50I believe God is calling someone.
