- 3:14Speaker 2: Give Jesus a beacond clap, and please you may be seated.
- 3:18Speaker 2: God bless you. You're welcome. This is coin Onia. Allelujah.
- 3:25Speaker 2: I sincerely welcome. Everyone's always a joy to fellowship with
- 3:31Speaker 2: God's people here on ground and across the globe. Zaria
- 3:38Speaker 2: is also connecting. Blessings to you in the name of
- 3:41Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. Isaiah chapter forty six and verse ten tells
- 3:46Speaker 2: us that God declares the end from the beginning, that
- 3:51Speaker 2: God has a unique ability to see the end, and
- 3:56Speaker 2: that he declares the end even from the beginning. And
- 4:01Speaker 2: this is not only true for God, it must be
- 4:03Speaker 2: true for any visionary leader. That means that in building people,
- 4:09Speaker 2: you must be able to have the end picture. I
- 4:13Speaker 2: was meditating on this a few days ago while preparing
- 4:17Speaker 2: my notes, and it just occurred to me that many times,
- 4:22Speaker 2: as leaders and as ministers of the gospel, we keep
- 4:25Speaker 2: teaching teaching, teaching, and that is profitable, but first ourselves
- 4:31Speaker 2: and the people that we seek to teach do not
- 4:34Speaker 2: have a picture of what they should become. Allelujah. In
- 4:38Speaker 2: architecture and building, one of the reasons why the structures
- 4:43Speaker 2: are build almost as exact as you see it on
- 4:47Speaker 2: paper is because there is first a paper representation of
- 4:51Speaker 2: the finished structure. Are we together? No one just begins
- 4:56Speaker 2: to build, adding block upon block and then and just
- 5:01Speaker 2: hopes that as they build they will understand what they
- 5:04Speaker 2: are doing. Usually you will not have a very wise structure,
- 5:07Speaker 2: a strong, stable structure belt that way, So the architect,
- 5:11Speaker 2: in partnership with all who are involved in construction would
- 5:15Speaker 2: sit down and using the power of knowledge, creativity, imagination,
- 5:21Speaker 2: they will come up with an intelligent structure, putting all
- 5:24Speaker 2: of the factors that need to be in consideration away together,
- 5:28Speaker 2: and right from before the cornerstone is put the first
- 5:32Speaker 2: block is put on ground, there is already a picture
- 5:36Speaker 2: of the end and that picture is not a secret.
- 5:40Speaker 2: It is known to both the architect and the client
- 5:43Speaker 2: that they are building for away together, and the knowledge,
- 5:47Speaker 2: the awareness of what the finished structure will look like,
- 5:51Speaker 2: is what gives the architects the stame power to meticulously
- 5:55Speaker 2: follow to details and then will give the client the
- 5:59Speaker 2: patients to allow the builders do their work away together.
- 6:03Speaker 2: When there is no awareness of how the finished product
- 6:07Speaker 2: will look like, impatience becomes imminent. So if you're building
- 6:13Speaker 2: a twelve or twenty or thirty story, it would be
- 6:17Speaker 2: unwise for any clients to expect an architect to build
- 6:20Speaker 2: all of that within a month or two months. He
- 6:23Speaker 2: knows that no matter how dexterous that architects that builder is,
- 6:27Speaker 2: because of the nature of the product, the structure that
- 6:31Speaker 2: they seek to produce, it will take a while. There
- 6:34Speaker 2: are many things that need to be put every step
- 6:36Speaker 2: of the way Allelujah. And I thought that it was
- 6:39Speaker 2: really very important for us to understand that week in
- 6:43Speaker 2: week out, as we meet, God is not just bringing
- 6:46Speaker 2: random knowledge. There is an exact spiritual house you are becoming. Allelujah.
- 6:52Speaker 2: There is a kind of believer that God seeks to
- 6:56Speaker 2: make out of you, and it is important that you
- 6:59Speaker 2: know that He's not just interested in you being a Christian.
- 7:03Speaker 2: He's not just interested in you being a religious person,
- 7:06Speaker 2: a church goer and attendant, a congregant, a member, perhaps
- 7:11Speaker 2: a fan. God desires more than that from you. His
- 7:14Speaker 2: intent is that you'll be built in a specific way.
- 7:18Speaker 2: There is a kind of believer that can advance the
- 7:22Speaker 2: purposes of God. There is a kind of believer away together.
- 7:28Speaker 2: Just because you're a believer haven't received the life of
- 7:31Speaker 2: God does not automatically make you usable. It takes a
- 7:35Speaker 2: lot to furnish and to chisel and to make you
- 7:40Speaker 2: become a believer with stature a way together. And I
- 7:43Speaker 2: thought to just do this, perhaps just to give us
- 7:47Speaker 2: a picture what kind of believer is going on your building.
- 7:51Speaker 2: I think I should do that just for a few minutes,
- 7:53Speaker 2: and then we get to part two of what we're
- 7:56Speaker 2: teaching It's important that you have this at the back
- 7:59Speaker 2: of your mind to know what kind of believer the
- 8:02Speaker 2: Holy Spirit in partnership with the teaching ministry is producing
- 8:08Speaker 2: out of your life. That way you will be patient,
- 8:13Speaker 2: that way you will be determined. That way your heart
- 8:16Speaker 2: will remain ever open to partner with the Holy Spirit.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Allelujah Number one. I believe that God seeks to build
- 8:25Speaker 2: a people who are first and foremost spiritually vibrant. Your
- 8:30Speaker 2: spiritual vibrancy is God's greatest goal as far as building
- 8:35Speaker 2: and making you become a believer with stature spiritual vibrancy,
- 8:41Speaker 2: men and women who are passionate lovers of Jesus and
- 8:46Speaker 2: lovers of the things of God. This is the first
- 8:49Speaker 2: kind of believer that God seeks to build. It's important
- 8:53Speaker 2: you get this. Your spiritual growth, your spiritual progress, your
- 8:58Speaker 2: spiritual vibrancy, in order of priority, is God's highest goal
- 9:04Speaker 2: as far as building you up. His concern to become
- 9:08Speaker 2: a passionate lover of Jesus, not just a religious fanatic,
- 9:12Speaker 2: but a sincere passionate lover of Jesus and then a
- 9:17Speaker 2: lover of the things of God. And that includes the
- 9:20Speaker 2: House of God that includes the program of God. Number two.
- 9:24Speaker 2: God seeks to build in this house and through this
- 9:28Speaker 2: house a believer with character, very important character. What does
- 9:34Speaker 2: that mean that you sustain a growing determination to be
- 9:40Speaker 2: like Jesus in experience, a growing determination you are a
- 9:48Speaker 2: man of character. Indeed, not just because you hold through
- 9:52Speaker 2: certain positive traits and virtues. It takes more than that.
- 9:57Speaker 2: This is beyond just being positive about life. Must be
- 10:00Speaker 2: a growing determination in that believer that I want my
- 10:05Speaker 2: life to be a reflection of the christ inexperience. It says,
- 10:09Speaker 2: my little children, of whom I travail until Christ be
- 10:13Speaker 2: formed in you. So the Lord seeks to build through
- 10:17Speaker 2: this ministry, through this vision, through the things that we do,
- 10:21Speaker 2: a believer that is of character, that you become the
- 10:27Speaker 2: closest representation of Jesus to your world. Number three. What
- 10:31Speaker 2: kind of believer is God building in and through this house?
- 10:36Speaker 2: Number three? He is building intelligent and transformed believers. Intelligent
- 10:43Speaker 2: and transformed believers. By now you should have sustained and
- 10:50Speaker 2: appreciation that spirituality does not take away intelligence. In Isaiah
- 10:55Speaker 2: chapter eleven, when you read verse two and verse three,
- 10:59Speaker 2: after listing the sevenfold operation of the spirit of the Lord.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Verse three says it shall make thee of quick understanding. Allelujah.
- 11:08Speaker 2: It takes intelligence to reflect Christ. It takes intelligence to
- 11:13Speaker 2: live out the purposes of the Kingdom in experience. So
- 11:16Speaker 2: God is raising intelligent and transformed believers. What does that mean?
- 11:22Speaker 2: Believers who have a thorough understanding of the Word of God.
- 11:28Speaker 2: A thorough understanding of the Word of God alongside listen
- 11:32Speaker 2: carefully before you write, alongside the ability to apply the
- 11:37Speaker 2: word towards a victorious life. It's not enough to just
- 11:41Speaker 2: know the word of God. You must sustained the intelligence
- 11:44Speaker 2: and understanding to apply the Word of God towards a
- 11:49Speaker 2: victorious life. There are many believers that have suppose that
- 11:55Speaker 2: spiritual knowledge, so many kinds of information spiritual profitable, but
- 12:01Speaker 2: they are not able to translate their knowledge of God
- 12:04Speaker 2: and their knowledge of the world towards a victorious life.
- 12:08Speaker 2: Knowledge is truly a waste until you are able to
- 12:12Speaker 2: translate it for your profiting and the profiting of others.
- 12:16Speaker 2: So when we talk about an intelligent and a transformed believer,
- 12:20Speaker 2: I'm reminder of the scripture that says, let the world
- 12:22Speaker 2: of Christ dwell in you richly. It says in all wisdom.
- 12:26Speaker 2: It should not just be in abundance, but it must
- 12:29Speaker 2: be mixed with wisdom. Allelujah. Most believers shell intelligence and transformation,
- 12:37Speaker 2: and they believe that being zealous for the things of
- 12:40Speaker 2: God is sufficient to produce champions out of them. It
- 12:44Speaker 2: doesn't happen that way. There must be intelligence and transformation.
- 12:48Speaker 2: That you are having access to the world of God
- 12:51Speaker 2: intelligently and methodically communicated, seasoned with grace, that when you
- 12:57Speaker 2: receive that word, the Bible lets us know that it
- 13:00Speaker 2: is able to drive away darkness John one five. The
- 13:03Speaker 2: light shine it in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended
- 13:08Speaker 2: it not. But when the word comes, are we together?
- 13:11Speaker 1: Now?
- 13:12Speaker 2: You must also sustain the intelligence to apply that word
- 13:16Speaker 2: such that it produces a victorious Christian out of you.
- 13:20Speaker 2: Can I tell you your Christian experience will be pungentous
- 13:24Speaker 2: to many if what you claim to know about God
- 13:27Speaker 2: and about the things of God does not eventually translate
- 13:33Speaker 2: into a victorious version of you. So there are many
- 13:37Speaker 2: believers whose propositions about God is not desired by the nations,
- 13:43Speaker 2: and the reason is because they have not seen the
- 13:45Speaker 2: word you claim to know and have and understand produce
- 13:49Speaker 2: a wonder out of you? Are we together? Number four?
- 13:53Speaker 2: What kind of believers is God raising? Please do not
- 13:56Speaker 2: forget this is a very This is a very beautiful introd.
- 14:01Speaker 2: What kind of a believer are you becoming? Week in,
- 14:05Speaker 2: week out? Number four? God seeks to produce responsible, purpose
- 14:10Speaker 2: driven and effective believers. I repeat, he seeks to produce responsible,
- 14:17Speaker 2: purpose driven and effective believers. Responsible, purpose driven and effective believers.
- 14:28Speaker 2: In my humble submission, I think that this is one
- 14:32Speaker 2: of the major challenges with the context of Christianity in Africa.
- 14:36Speaker 2: It does not capture this dimension where people evolved to
- 14:41Speaker 2: be responsible, to be purpose driven, and to be effective.
- 14:45Speaker 2: We nomberwagh the passion for efficiency, and most people are
- 14:49Speaker 2: not pro kingdom. They do not have a goal and
- 14:52Speaker 2: an intent. Nothing drives their lives. It's a terrible and dangerous,
- 14:57Speaker 2: even destructive way to live. Instructive to you and to
- 15:01Speaker 2: anyone around you. Allelujah, purpose driven, responsible and effective believers.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Number five, What kind of believers is God raising? In
- 15:14Speaker 2: this house and through this house? Are you ready? Number five?
- 15:18Speaker 2: Agents of societal and territorial transformation. This is very profound.
- 15:24Speaker 2: God is raising agents of societal and territorial transformation. That
- 15:35Speaker 2: means individuals who can translate their Christian experience to a
- 15:40Speaker 2: context that becomes relevant to their world. Allelujah. This is
- 15:47Speaker 2: where the tragedy of blind fanatism comes in, and it's
- 15:52Speaker 2: becoming a cancer in Africa. Unfortunately, where there is such enthusiasm,
- 15:58Speaker 2: there is such a bending devotion away together to many
- 16:03Speaker 2: lobsided dimensions of the Gospel and the truth of it.
- 16:06Speaker 2: In fact, most people empress dimensions that has no applicability
- 16:13Speaker 2: to society. One of the greatest expressions of territorial transformation
- 16:21Speaker 2: was used by Jesus himself. He calls us light and
- 16:25Speaker 2: he calls us salt. Do you know that both light
- 16:29Speaker 2: and salt do not benefit themselves. The relevance of light
- 16:34Speaker 2: is that it couliminates the room. The relevance of salt
- 16:37Speaker 2: is that it gives taste and preserves something odd than itself.
- 16:42Speaker 2: I will never advocate a Christian experience that makes people small, minded,
- 16:48Speaker 2: limited and without any societal relevance. It is the reason
- 16:52Speaker 2: why people become. The more spiritual we are in Africa,
- 16:56Speaker 2: and respectfully speaking, even across our nation, the more we
- 17:00Speaker 2: we are not able to see the imprint of the
- 17:04Speaker 2: God life that we claim to have. Crime still remains,
- 17:08Speaker 2: all kinds of vices still remains, and yet there is
- 17:11Speaker 2: a supposed multiplication of those who claim to be obedient
- 17:15Speaker 2: to the faith. There is an apostolic dimension to the
- 17:18Speaker 2: Christian experience that must be captured in every believer's life.
- 17:23Speaker 2: That I am not just a member, I am not
- 17:25Speaker 2: just a congregant. I am light and I am sold
- 17:29Speaker 2: away together. Every time I have the honor of teaching
- 17:32Speaker 2: the world of God, I am aware that there are
- 17:35Speaker 2: several kinds of people listening to me, and many of
- 17:38Speaker 2: them are listening using different vistas. Some are listening as professionals,
- 17:43Speaker 2: Some are listening as military people. Some are listening as politicians.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Orthers are listening as intellectuals academicians. Others are listening as
- 17:53Speaker 2: lay people who have never had any kind of exposure
- 17:56Speaker 2: or orientation. Orthers are listening as fellow ministers of the gospel.
- 18:01Speaker 2: Others are listening as critics. Orthers are listening as you know,
- 18:08Speaker 2: maybe some unbeliever, non Christians who are just passionate about
- 18:14Speaker 2: learning and they want to just sincerely, openheartedly listen to
- 18:18Speaker 2: what we have to say. Any wise man of God
- 18:21Speaker 2: who loves God and loves the people most factor in
- 18:25Speaker 2: the mindset of your audience while you teach while not
- 18:29Speaker 2: in a pastor's conference. But this is important for us
- 18:31Speaker 2: to learn that in communicating the Gospel, especially in the
- 18:36Speaker 2: context of today's world, you must be able to buy
- 18:39Speaker 2: into the mindset and the thinking of those who are
- 18:42Speaker 2: listening to you. Are we together? This informs your presentation,
- 18:46Speaker 2: This informs the approach to communicating the world. That the
- 18:51Speaker 2: goal and the intent of teaching is for understanding. If
- 18:55Speaker 2: at the end of your communication people are left at
- 18:57Speaker 2: a loss, they are not understanding there there is no
- 19:00Speaker 2: point of application in their lives. You only wasted their time.
- 19:03Speaker 2: And I can assure you that we live in a
- 19:06Speaker 2: day and age where intelligent people will not submit themselves
- 19:10Speaker 2: to foolishness. Are we together? Yes, Some of the people
- 19:14Speaker 2: who come to church are intelligent nation builders, CEOs, students,
- 19:20Speaker 2: men and women of God, people with superior orientations that
- 19:24Speaker 2: have helped them to achieve all kinds of things in
- 19:26Speaker 2: life and eve. And when they do come and submit
- 19:29Speaker 2: themselves to us, preachers, we must be intentional about communicating
- 19:34Speaker 2: the world of God in a profitable way. Imagining, for instance,
- 19:40Speaker 2: a government organization now says we're going to allow Coinonia
- 19:44Speaker 2: to be aired on national TV every time. Will Nigeria
- 19:48Speaker 2: become better because they're listening to us or are we
- 19:51Speaker 2: just going to produce and not that group of fanatics
- 19:54Speaker 2: with no purpose, no vision. You see blind fanatism is
- 19:58Speaker 2: characterized by enthusiasm and devotion with no balance and no purpose.
- 20:06Speaker 2: So you find out that the extremists groups across all
- 20:11Speaker 2: religions that destroy nations. Extremism is one of the major
- 20:16Speaker 2: plagues in the world today, and extremism comes from fanatism
- 20:22Speaker 2: without purpose, fanatism without balance away together. So whether it's
- 20:27Speaker 2: from the Christian side or non Christian side, any religion,
- 20:30Speaker 2: as this may apply, you find out that most extremists
- 20:34Speaker 2: that destroy people and kill and men and do all
- 20:40Speaker 2: kinds of things. At the back of that mayhem is
- 20:44Speaker 2: a destructive orientation that was not balanced. It may sustain
- 20:48Speaker 2: some truth there, but because it was not holistically captured
- 20:52Speaker 2: and presented, it will produce all kinds of error, widespread erra.
- 20:57Speaker 2: So in building believers, I need you to understand so
- 21:01Speaker 2: you appreciate what God is doing in your life that
- 21:04Speaker 2: at the end of your journey you should not be
- 21:06Speaker 2: here one week, two weeks, one year, and then you
- 21:09Speaker 2: are not able to defend your transformation. That will be
- 21:13Speaker 2: a total waste of your time away together. As a believer,
- 21:17Speaker 2: you should be able to articulate with intelligence and grace
- 21:21Speaker 2: that from the time I submitted myself to this body
- 21:24Speaker 2: of knowledge, this is what has happened to my understanding.
- 21:28Speaker 2: Grace has come upon me. Not just that I got
- 21:30Speaker 2: a car, not just that I got a house. Those
- 21:33Speaker 2: things are wonderful away together, But the real proof that
- 21:37Speaker 2: you have met God is that you cannot be the
- 21:40Speaker 2: same person again. It affects your spirit, It affects your mind,
- 21:45Speaker 2: It affects the works of your hands, It affects your
- 21:48Speaker 2: ideology and your perspective. You imagine there are men of
- 21:51Speaker 2: God here seated, and that whilst listening to me, there
- 21:55Speaker 2: are corrections that begin to happen in your spiritual understanding.
- 21:58Speaker 2: You go back and begin to make adjustments in your ministry.
- 22:01Speaker 2: You produce a dexterist and powerful people, not just talking people,
- 22:07Speaker 2: not just word confessing people, people who can be called
- 22:11Speaker 2: even by government because of the level of light and salts.
- 22:14Speaker 2: They have become on account of your mentorship. That is leadership,
- 22:19Speaker 2: that is spirituality. True leaders do not maintain followers. They
- 22:23Speaker 2: translate followers to become leaders and leaders into agents of change. Allelujah.
- 22:32Speaker 2: So don't carry this mindset that I'm just coming to church.
- 22:35Speaker 2: I'm about to write something. Now, who knows by this writing,
- 22:39Speaker 2: I may get a car. By this writing, I may
- 22:42Speaker 2: get a house, and you will, indeed, But beyond that,
- 22:46Speaker 2: if all I give you is prayer for a car
- 22:48Speaker 2: and house, have insulted your intelligence. Allelujah. In the Kingdom,
- 22:54Speaker 2: what we present is by first superior to anything mundane.
- 22:58Speaker 2: The products that we communicate and not earth bound. Are
- 23:02Speaker 2: we together they applying the earth, but they are more
- 23:05Speaker 2: superior in value and quality. The Bible, speaking about wisdom,
- 23:10Speaker 2: says that the price of it cannot be compared with anything,
- 23:13Speaker 2: that the price of it is greater than choice, silver,
- 23:16Speaker 2: than gold and rubies. So when you are listening to
- 23:19Speaker 2: the wisdom of God's world, you are receiving more than
- 23:22Speaker 2: that which programs you to have a car a house.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Those things will become benefits that you will not even
- 23:28Speaker 2: be aware of when they arrive, because you are focusing
- 23:30Speaker 2: on a bigger cause. Allelujah. Now that you know what
- 23:35Speaker 2: you are becoming, praying one minute, Lord, I submit myself
- 23:39Speaker 2: to your wisdom. Even tonight.
- 23:43Speaker 3: Are we praying, Oh glorials God, we praion, We lay
- 24:03Speaker 3: the opera.
- 24:05Speaker 2: And were shall pray coin on your Oh be lifted
- 24:14Speaker 2: above lot we lay our crown and worship a lovea
- 24:26Speaker 2: sambacuciada above on all the cos we lay up.
- 24:40Speaker 1: And work.
- 24:42Speaker 2: All glorious card save.
- 24:48Speaker 1: We pray, we lay and Oh Glorious God red. And
- 25:16Speaker 1: what time, Oh glorious God, said.
- 25:36Speaker 2: Halleluiah, please be sited greater works. Part two, let's said
- 25:41Speaker 2: be the name of the Lord. We've been on a
- 25:44Speaker 2: teaching series and we're trusting God. The goal is to
- 25:49Speaker 2: prepare us to be more effective believers, to be able
- 25:53Speaker 2: to communicate the life, the wisdom, the grace, the power
- 25:57Speaker 2: of God at a level that reveals Jesus in a
- 26:00Speaker 2: greater dimension. And our text is John fourteen twelve. Jesus speaking,
- 26:06Speaker 2: he said, verily, verily, I say unto you, he that
- 26:10Speaker 2: believed on me, the works that I do, shall he
- 26:15Speaker 2: do also, And greater works than these shall he do.
- 26:21Speaker 2: Because I go to my Father. May that be your
- 26:24Speaker 2: experience in the name of Jesus. And we established a
- 26:28Speaker 2: few things last week, just a very quick recap, and
- 26:30Speaker 2: then we get to the business of today. We explained
- 26:35Speaker 2: that the reason why we should believe in the Greater
- 26:38Speaker 2: Work project is Number One, that Jesus said so. We
- 26:42Speaker 2: believe that greater works is the heritage of every believer
- 26:46Speaker 2: first and foremost, because Jesus said so, and the Bible
- 26:49Speaker 2: clearly tells us that God is not a man, that
- 26:52Speaker 2: he should lie, not the son of man, that he
- 26:55Speaker 2: should repent. Number Two, that the believer has been given
- 26:59Speaker 2: authority through Christ, the advantage that we have by reason
- 27:04Speaker 2: of the death, the burial, the resurrection, the accession, exaltation
- 27:09Speaker 2: of the Christ. The implication to the believer today is
- 27:12Speaker 2: that we have authority in and to Christ Jesus, and
- 27:16Speaker 2: that authority has afforded us the opportunity to manifest greater works.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Number Three, that the reason why we must believe in
- 27:25Speaker 2: the Greater Work agenda is that we have access to
- 27:28Speaker 2: the Spirit of God Allelujah. Access to the Spirit of God,
- 27:34Speaker 2: and the Bible lets us know in Acts chapter one
- 27:37Speaker 2: and verse eight that we receive power when the Holy
- 27:40Speaker 2: Goos comes upon us, and that he empowers us to
- 27:43Speaker 2: be witnesses in Jerusalem Judea Samaria to the outmost part
- 27:48Speaker 2: of the world, Allelujah. And I did explain the concept
- 27:52Speaker 2: of greater. Perhaps I will repeat it again that the
- 27:56Speaker 2: reason why Jesus used the expression greater was not though
- 28:00Speaker 2: he was limiting himself. But I told you that reason
- 28:03Speaker 2: number one was because when Jesus walked upon the earth,
- 28:07Speaker 2: all that he could do he did it alone. Are
- 28:10Speaker 2: we together that now we have the advantage of efficiency
- 28:14Speaker 2: because the spirit has been poured upon all flesh. If
- 28:18Speaker 2: Jesus were in one city, he was not in another city,
- 28:21Speaker 2: because even though he was God, he became earth bound
- 28:24Speaker 2: by reason of wearing a mortal body. So when he
- 28:27Speaker 2: says greater work, he also means more efficient work, because
- 28:32Speaker 2: now I don't have to be everywhere for the program
- 28:35Speaker 2: of God to go, because there are other believers who
- 28:37Speaker 2: have been anointed. Are we together that where I am limited,
- 28:40Speaker 2: there is some believer today. Like I said last week,
- 28:43Speaker 2: in France, there's sum in Italy, even in Nigeria. Here
- 28:46Speaker 2: there are several men and women of God, several people
- 28:49Speaker 2: representing the purposes of God as God has graced them.
- 28:53Speaker 2: Now that makes the agenda more effective. Imagine if I
- 28:58Speaker 2: were the only one man dated to take the whole world.
- 29:00Speaker 2: Number one, I would die young, am I right on that?
- 29:04Speaker 2: Number two, that program will not come to fruition, I
- 29:07Speaker 2: guarantee you. So when Jesus said greater works, he meant
- 29:12Speaker 2: there will not just be one Jesus. Again, there is
- 29:16Speaker 2: one Jesus, but many witnesses. You see that. Now the
- 29:20Speaker 2: agenda is to reveal that one Jesus. There are not
- 29:23Speaker 2: many Jesuses, just one Jesus called the Christ, the resurrected one.
- 29:29Speaker 2: But there are many witnesses, advocates, promoters of that Christ
- 29:34Speaker 2: and his purposes. This is why he called it greater.
- 29:37Speaker 2: But the second reason why he called it greater was
- 29:40Speaker 2: I told you that Jesus performed many phenomenal miracles. So
- 29:45Speaker 2: when he speaks about greater, of course you know that
- 29:49Speaker 2: he's not just talking of raising the dead and all
- 29:51Speaker 2: of that. The greatest miracle that can be performed by
- 29:54Speaker 2: any individual is to give life to someone who is lifeless,
- 29:58Speaker 2: and that miracle has already being performed by Jesus. So
- 30:01Speaker 2: there is no miracle anybody whoop. Any miracle you perform
- 30:06Speaker 2: on someone who is already alive is less sad than
- 30:09Speaker 2: the miracle of resurrection. Because the last and the greatest
- 30:12Speaker 2: enemy to be destroyed by any man is death, and
- 30:15Speaker 2: Jesus already resurrected. He resurrected three people. There were three
- 30:20Speaker 2: instances of resurrection, as captured in the Bible. One is Lazarus,
- 30:25Speaker 2: the second the son of the widow at Naane, and
- 30:27Speaker 2: then the third the centurion's daughter Jarusy's daughter Allelujah. Even
- 30:34Speaker 2: before Jesus arrived, the raising of the dead was already
- 30:38Speaker 2: something that was being practiced by the prophets. So when
- 30:42Speaker 2: he talks about greater works, you can be sure that
- 30:44Speaker 2: he does not just refer to greater miracles than me.
- 30:48Speaker 2: I told you that there was one miracle Jesus could
- 30:51Speaker 2: not perform, and that was the miracle of giving eternal life,
- 30:55Speaker 2: because that miracle would demand death and the blood it
- 30:59Speaker 2: would the man resurrection as sansion and pouring his blood
- 31:03Speaker 2: in that heavenly tabernacle. So as powerful as Jesus was
- 31:07Speaker 2: as he walked upon the earth, the greatest miracle man needed,
- 31:11Speaker 2: he could not perform it before the cross. So when
- 31:15Speaker 2: he says greater works, you are now empowered to do
- 31:18Speaker 2: something I could not do. Whilst I walked upon the earth.
- 31:21Speaker 2: He healed the sick, He multiplied bread, He performed all
- 31:25Speaker 2: kinds of phenomenal miracles, but there was no mention of
- 31:28Speaker 2: him giving salvation to any He could forgive sin, but
- 31:32Speaker 2: he could not translate men from the kingdom of darkness
- 31:35Speaker 2: to the kingdom of God's their son. Everyone healed and
- 31:38Speaker 2: the Bible still died. Are we together now? Everyone he
- 31:43Speaker 2: gave bread still became hungry. But when Jesus rose again
- 31:48Speaker 2: as the resurrected king. Now he gave us the ministry
- 31:52Speaker 2: of reconciliation, and we can announce the Gospel. We can
- 31:56Speaker 2: propose God's idea to men that, in believing the substitutionary
- 32:01Speaker 2: sacrifice of Jesus eternal life can be imputed to the
- 32:04Speaker 2: spirit of man profound greater works. Allelujah. Then we said,
- 32:11Speaker 2: there are forces that need to be in place. There
- 32:18Speaker 2: are forces that need to be at work in the
- 32:21Speaker 2: life of any believer who seeks to manifest greater works. Allelujah.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Number one. We looked at the force of prayer last week,
- 32:33Speaker 2: that the first spiritual force that must be engaged and
- 32:36Speaker 2: activated in the life of any believer who seeks to
- 32:40Speaker 2: represent the purposes of God in a higher dimension to
- 32:44Speaker 2: make Jesus known to reveal him to the nations, his life,
- 32:47Speaker 2: his power, and everything that Christ brought and made available
- 32:51Speaker 2: to the believer. Must be a person of prayer. And
- 32:55Speaker 2: I did tell you that we can use prayer as
- 32:58Speaker 2: a tool and a weapon to both birth and establish
- 33:02Speaker 2: the purposes of God upon the earth. Prayer has many
- 33:06Speaker 2: dimensions and prayer has many assignments. One of the major
- 33:10Speaker 2: assignments of prayer, as far as this context is concerned,
- 33:14Speaker 2: is as a tool to birth and then to establish
- 33:18Speaker 2: the purposes of God across any territory. Revival will be
- 33:25Speaker 2: far from any territory that does not have an apostolic
- 33:29Speaker 2: and a prophetic community of people who know how to
- 33:33Speaker 2: pray with intelligence and with understanding. I made an observation
- 33:38Speaker 2: about prayer last week that I may want to repeat
- 33:40Speaker 2: that for your prayer to create the kind of changes
- 33:44Speaker 2: that you desire, it must be effectual and it must
- 33:49Speaker 2: be fervent. For prayer to be effectual, it must be
- 33:53Speaker 2: word based, not energy based. Energy based is powerful, but
- 33:58Speaker 2: energy based prayer is where fervancy comes. It must be
- 34:02Speaker 2: from the depth of your heart. There must be zeal
- 34:05Speaker 2: and energy. But in order of priority, if your prayer
- 34:10Speaker 2: is pervant and not effectual, it will only be a
- 34:13Speaker 2: waste of time. Effectual prayer is only as it submits
- 34:19Speaker 2: to the world of God. The word compliancy of your
- 34:23Speaker 2: prayer is what makes it powerful. Are we together, so
- 34:27Speaker 2: he says, the effectual and pavent prayer of the righteous
- 34:32Speaker 2: have fil led much? Have they led much? That means
- 34:36Speaker 2: it has great profiting. When a righteous man who knows
- 34:40Speaker 2: how to pray based on scripture, because I have taught
- 34:43Speaker 2: you in this house that as mighty as God is,
- 34:46Speaker 2: he limited his dealings with man to the boundary of scripture,
- 34:50Speaker 2: that means God cannot deal with man outside of the
- 34:53Speaker 2: provision that scripture allows. Are we together? Dealing with God
- 34:57Speaker 2: outside of the provision of scripture will not secure his
- 35:01Speaker 2: attention that he has submitted to his word even above
- 35:06Speaker 2: he has submitted, He has exalted his word, even above
- 35:09Speaker 2: his name. So the force of prayer, and the last
- 35:13Speaker 2: that we saw last week is the force of wisdom
- 35:17Speaker 2: Mark six two. The force of wisdom as the second
- 35:23Speaker 2: spiritual force that must be in place for any believer
- 35:27Speaker 2: who desires to manifest greater works. The Bible says on
- 35:31Speaker 2: the Sabbath day, when it was come. He began to
- 35:34Speaker 2: teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying,
- 35:38Speaker 2: from whence had this man these things? And what wisdom
- 35:42Speaker 2: is this which is given to him? That even such
- 35:46Speaker 2: mighty works are wrought by his hand. There is a
- 35:50Speaker 2: relationship between wisdom, wisdom that comes from above, and mighty works.
- 35:55Speaker 2: You cannot separate mighty works from wisdom. Every Where you
- 36:00Speaker 2: see wisdom, you know that there's mighty works connected to it.
- 36:05Speaker 2: I defined wisdom for us last week number one as
- 36:08Speaker 2: the accurate application of knowledge. Wisdom is the accurate application
- 36:14Speaker 2: of knowledge. Knowledge is only potential power. Is often said
- 36:20Speaker 2: in our world that knowledge is power. I disagree. Knowledge
- 36:23Speaker 2: is potential power. It is knowledge that is understood and
- 36:28Speaker 2: applied with intelligence that becomes power. Allelujah. So wisdom is
- 36:36Speaker 2: the accurate application of knowledge. Another definition, wisdom is the
- 36:42Speaker 2: ability I said last week, to use the written and
- 36:46Speaker 2: inspired word of God to make accurate decisions and provide
- 36:51Speaker 2: solutions to life's problems. I'll take it one more time
- 36:55Speaker 2: that wisdom is the accurate application of knowledge, and then
- 37:01Speaker 2: that wisdom is the supernatural ability to use both the
- 37:06Speaker 2: written word scripture and the inspired word the Ramma word
- 37:10Speaker 2: that comes from the Holy Spirit to make accurate decisions
- 37:15Speaker 2: and then to provide solutions to life's problems. That means
- 37:22Speaker 2: the fruit of wisdom is seen in the quality of
- 37:26Speaker 2: decisions that are taken. Are we together? You know where
- 37:29Speaker 2: wisdom is functioning by the superiority and the quality of
- 37:33Speaker 2: decisions that the possessor takes. It is impossible to claim
- 37:37Speaker 2: to have wisdom that comes from above, and then your
- 37:41Speaker 2: life continues to be a representation of inferior decisions. Now,
- 37:49Speaker 2: there are four kinds of wisdom, as revealed in James
- 37:52Speaker 2: Chapter three and verse fifteen. James three fifteen lists for
- 37:56Speaker 2: us in no particular order, for kinds of wisdom. Number one,
- 38:02Speaker 2: it tells us there is ethly wisdom, wisdom that is
- 38:05Speaker 2: a product of your being alive on the earth. Are
- 38:10Speaker 2: we together, Yes, human wisdom, common sense. We call it.
- 38:15Speaker 2: Number two, There is sensual wisdom. Another word is scientific wisdom,
- 38:20Speaker 2: wisdom that is a product of experimentation. You keep building
- 38:25Speaker 2: hypothesis until it is established as a theory. Sensual scientific wisdom,
- 38:31Speaker 2: academic wisdom. The third kind of wisdom is called devilish
- 38:36Speaker 2: or demonical wisdom, wisdom that is as a result of
- 38:39Speaker 2: your fraternity with spirits that are not the Spirit of God.
- 38:44Speaker 2: It is possible that a man can possess the ability
- 38:47Speaker 2: to make certain decisions and not by the spirit of God.
- 38:51Speaker 2: We see that clearing the Book of Acts, where a
- 38:54Speaker 2: lady who was possessed with the spirit of divination, she
- 38:57Speaker 2: was professigned accurately. How bid it not by the spirit
- 39:02Speaker 2: of God at sixteen when you read from verse sixteen
- 39:05Speaker 2: that a damn cell was possessed with the spirit of divination,
- 39:09Speaker 2: and she brought their master's great gain using her sooth?
- 39:13Speaker 2: Say so, it is possible that someone by a familiar
- 39:19Speaker 2: spirit is spirit that is outside of the Spirit of Christ,
- 39:22Speaker 2: may seem to make temporary progress. It is called devilish wisdom. Allelujah.
- 39:29Speaker 2: And then finally, the Bible tells us there is wisdom
- 39:34Speaker 2: that comes from above. There is wisdom that comes from above,
- 39:40Speaker 2: supernatural wisdom that comes by the spirit of the Living God.
- 39:46Speaker 2: This is the kind of wisdom and the dimension of
- 39:49Speaker 2: wisdom that if and when possessed and accessed by the believer,
- 39:56Speaker 2: evidently your life will produce greater works your testimony in
- 40:01Speaker 2: the name of Jesus Christ. Do not forget that I said,
- 40:04Speaker 2: you see the excellency of wisdom by the quality of
- 40:08Speaker 2: decisions that you make. We do not decide consequences. Unfortunately,
- 40:14Speaker 2: consequences are connected by default to decisions. So you don't
- 40:18Speaker 2: choose consequences. You make choices and decisions, and with those
- 40:23Speaker 2: choices and decisions that corresponding consequences connected to them become
- 40:28Speaker 2: your lot automatically. That means that when you look around
- 40:33Speaker 2: your life and you find out your life is plagued
- 40:35Speaker 2: with failure, defeat, pain, regret, treasure that is needed and
- 40:41Speaker 2: required by all men for destiny, actualization and then even
- 40:46Speaker 2: for greater works. Jesus in Luke chapter two hun verse
- 40:49Speaker 2: fifty two, the Bible says he increased, he grew in wisdom,
- 40:54Speaker 2: in wisdom, Jesus himself increased in wisdom, then in stature,
- 40:59Speaker 2: then in favor with God and with man. Are you
- 41:03Speaker 2: seeing the protocol there that even before he opened up
- 41:06Speaker 2: for favor, he access wisdom Because everything favor brings, wisdom preserves.
- 41:13Speaker 2: If the only thing you pursue is favor, you will
- 41:15Speaker 2: keep having things that you will lose because wisdom is
- 41:19Speaker 2: a preserver. So but two will be a continuation of
- 41:26Speaker 2: wisdom and then will take it. There's a lot tonight.
- 41:31Speaker 2: Receive grace to hear and understanding Jesus name wisdom. What
- 41:37Speaker 2: are the benefits of wisdom? I think I should just
- 41:40Speaker 2: state that most believers do not appreciate the benefit of
- 41:44Speaker 2: wisdom in the life of an individual who presses to
- 41:47Speaker 2: have it at work in his life. Number one, Wisdom
- 41:51Speaker 2: strengthens and secures eclas Yes the seven nineteen eclas Yes
- 41:56Speaker 2: the seven and verse nineteen. The Bible says, wisdom strength
- 42:00Speaker 2: infinet the wise more than ten mighty men which are
- 42:04Speaker 2: in the city. Powerful, that wisdom can secure you more
- 42:08Speaker 2: than ten mighty men which are in the city. In fact,
- 42:12Speaker 2: one of the versions I think amplify or thereabout will
- 42:14Speaker 2: say wisdom secures more than ten mighty rulers. So he's
- 42:18Speaker 2: not just talking about ordinary men. He's talking about rulers
- 42:22Speaker 2: and villyan generals. Can you imagine that wisdom is greater
- 42:28Speaker 2: than ten mighty rulers with their experience put together? Wisdom
- 42:34Speaker 2: that comes from above truly secures. Number two Ecclesias is
- 42:38Speaker 2: seven and verse twelve. Wisdom protects and wisdom preserves, it says,
- 42:45Speaker 2: for wisdom is a defense. Watch this and money, too
- 42:49Speaker 2: is the defense. But the excellency of knowledge is that
- 42:53Speaker 2: wisdom gives life to those who have it. Give us
- 42:58Speaker 2: amplified see the justice that Amplified did for that. It says,
- 43:03Speaker 2: wisdom is a defense even as money is a defense.
- 43:09Speaker 2: But the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom shields and
- 43:13Speaker 2: it preserves the life of him who has it. He's
- 43:17Speaker 2: telling you the difference that wisdom can bring defense even
- 43:22Speaker 2: as money can bring defense. But the difference is that
- 43:25Speaker 2: money cannot preserve the life of the person who possesses it.
- 43:28Speaker 2: If money could preserve the life, the rich fool would
- 43:32Speaker 2: not die because he had a lot of money but
- 43:35Speaker 2: no wisdom. And the first proof of wisdom is that
- 43:39Speaker 2: you acknowledge that there is a God in heaven. Because
- 43:42Speaker 2: only a fool who say in his heart that there
- 43:44Speaker 2: is no God are we together? Wisdom preserves Number three
- 43:51Speaker 2: ecclesies is ten. Ten. Wisdom brings efficiency popular scripture, wisdom
- 43:57Speaker 2: brings efficiency to your life. If the ion be blonde,
- 44:03Speaker 2: and he do not wet the edge, sharpen the edge,
- 44:06Speaker 2: now then must he put more strength. But wisdom is
- 44:10Speaker 2: profitable in that it has the ability to direct you
- 44:14Speaker 2: towards an efficient life. I can tell you sincerely speaking
- 44:18Speaker 2: an uncomfortable truth, but a hard life is directly traceable
- 44:23Speaker 2: to the absence of wisdom. Hardship has an explanation. Wisdom
- 44:30Speaker 2: brings efficiency. Wisdom brings efficiency. Wisdom brings efficiency. Allelujah. Let's
- 44:39Speaker 2: go to the third force. Are you ready? Force number
- 44:42Speaker 2: three that is responsible for the manifestation of greater works
- 44:47Speaker 2: in the Saints and is much needed, especially because of
- 44:52Speaker 2: the days that we're now living. It's called the force
- 44:55Speaker 2: of faith. Please write the force of faith, the force
- 45:01Speaker 2: of faith. There is no believer who seeks to manifest
- 45:06Speaker 2: greater works as desired by Jesus Christ who will ignore
- 45:12Speaker 2: walking by faith and walking in faith. The Bible has
- 45:17Speaker 2: a lot to say about faith. Number one Hebrews eleven
- 45:20Speaker 2: and verse one, it says, now faith is I like Paul.
- 45:24Speaker 2: Now faith is the substance, he says, of things hoped for.
- 45:30Speaker 2: He calls it the evidence of things not seen, the
- 45:34Speaker 2: substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things
- 45:38Speaker 2: not seen. Verse two, it says, for by it this
- 45:43Speaker 2: force called faith, elders obtained a good report. And when
- 45:47Speaker 2: you read all the remaining renditions down to the end
- 45:51Speaker 2: of that verse. Those were the good reports that were
- 45:55Speaker 2: obtained by faith. In fact, if we go to thirty three,
- 45:59Speaker 2: thirty three begins to give us a very intelligent representation
- 46:04Speaker 2: of these reports through faith. They subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness,
- 46:10Speaker 2: obtained promises, stop the mouth of lions. Thirty four it says,
- 46:15Speaker 2: quench the violence of fire, escapes the edge of the sword.
- 46:20Speaker 2: Out of weakness, were made strong once valiant in fight
- 46:24Speaker 2: turned to flights. The armies of the aliens look at this.
- 46:28Speaker 2: Women received their debt to life, and it says orders
- 46:31Speaker 2: go they were tortured and have the opportunity to accept
- 46:34Speaker 2: deliverance by faith. They refused. They refused deliverance because they
- 46:40Speaker 2: wanted to obtain a better resurrection. Thirty six It says
- 46:44Speaker 2: orders who had trial of cruell mock clings, and all
- 46:48Speaker 2: of these things. The Bible says, all of these things,
- 46:51Speaker 2: they were called elders, and they obtain good report by faith.
- 46:55Speaker 2: Let me give you two reasons why we need faith
- 46:58Speaker 2: in our work with God. Number one, the first reason
- 47:02Speaker 2: why every believer needs to understand the subject of faith
- 47:06Speaker 2: and then to work and live by faith is because
- 47:09Speaker 2: there are realities beyond the scope of our sight, beyond
- 47:14Speaker 2: the scope of science. Please write, there are realities beyond
- 47:19Speaker 2: the scope of sight and beyond the scope of science
- 47:24Speaker 2: Collosians one, sixteen to eighteen. There are realities beyond the
- 47:29Speaker 2: scope of sight that means what your optical eyes can see,
- 47:33Speaker 2: and then beyond the scope of science. The human nature
- 47:41Speaker 2: is trained scientifically and trained environmentally. Allelujah. These are the
- 47:48Speaker 2: two principle ways by which we are trained to understand
- 47:51Speaker 2: and to deal with our environment. There is environmental conditioning
- 47:56Speaker 2: and then scientifically. From the time you begin to go
- 47:59Speaker 2: to school formally or informally, you begin to learn how
- 48:03Speaker 2: to use the techniques of science to relate with your world.
- 48:07Speaker 2: But the truth is that there are realities beyond the
- 48:09Speaker 2: scope of sight. There are realities beyond the scope of science.
- 48:15Speaker 2: Even science agrees that the human eye, which has twenty
- 48:19Speaker 2: twenty vision, cannot see everything. Are we together? It is
- 48:24Speaker 2: very possible. I don't know if it has happened to you,
- 48:26Speaker 2: that a very small insect will bite you. You feel
- 48:30Speaker 2: the pain, The pain is real, but you cannot you
- 48:33Speaker 2: almost cannot find the insect biting you. Yet it is there,
- 48:36Speaker 2: and it is not like you said, demonishing, it's just
- 48:38Speaker 2: too small for your eyes to see. You usually use
- 48:41Speaker 2: the direction of the pain to investigate that most likely
- 48:45Speaker 2: it is there. There are many, many things that the
- 48:50Speaker 2: eye of man cannot see. There is a limit to
- 48:55Speaker 2: which the vision of man twenty twenty. We are told,
- 48:58Speaker 2: are we together? You may need to take advantage of
- 49:02Speaker 2: a telescope to see beyond certain ranges. So there are
- 49:07Speaker 2: realities beyond the scope of sight and beyond the scope
- 49:11Speaker 2: of science Collosians one sixteen. Please, it says for by
- 49:14Speaker 2: him where all things created that are in heaven follow carefully,
- 49:19Speaker 2: and that are in the earth visible and invisible. So
- 49:25Speaker 2: there are things visible and there are things invisible. Please
- 49:30Speaker 2: note that invisible does not mean unreal. Our concept of
- 49:34Speaker 2: reality is anything the frame of our eyes, our ears,
- 49:39Speaker 2: our hands, and all of that our senses can relate with.
- 49:42Speaker 2: But there are realities beyond the scope of sight, and
- 49:47Speaker 2: there are realities beyond the scope of science. The Bible
- 49:51Speaker 2: says visible and invisible things. For instance, the realm of
- 49:57Speaker 2: the spirit is a real realm that when all is
- 50:00Speaker 2: said and done, it is that realm that most people
- 50:04Speaker 2: are going to live in. So we are given an
- 50:06Speaker 2: advantage of duality of rems. You have a spirit or
- 50:09Speaker 2: you are a spirit, and then you live in a
- 50:11Speaker 2: mortal body, and that mortal body gives you access to
- 50:14Speaker 2: the earth. Are we together? But you are not a body.
- 50:17Speaker 2: Your body, as you have been taught, it is just
- 50:19Speaker 2: an instrument of execution. When people die, we call it death,
- 50:25Speaker 2: but the realm of the spirit never calls it death,
- 50:28Speaker 2: because our idea of death is to cease to leave.
- 50:32Speaker 2: But that is only correct from our realm, from the
- 50:35Speaker 2: realm of the spirit. When you say someone has died,
- 50:37Speaker 2: they look at you with shock and wonder, because there
- 50:40Speaker 2: is no such thing, a cessation of living. We see
- 50:43Speaker 2: that in Scripture. Are we together? The rich man and Lazarus.
- 50:49Speaker 2: See one the rich man is there enjoying his prosperity
- 50:53Speaker 2: and finances. Lazarus is there suffering. And then sing two.
- 50:56Speaker 2: Both of them die, and we see that they were
- 50:59Speaker 2: both alive in another dimension, one in Abraham's bosom, the
- 51:03Speaker 2: other one was perishing in hell. And he was crying.
- 51:06Speaker 2: He had intelligence, his intelligence was still with him. Deep
- 51:11Speaker 2: whati in your finger, and please quench my thirst? And
- 51:15Speaker 2: that was not possible, And he said, all right, please,
- 51:18Speaker 2: can you allow the man to come back to the
- 51:20Speaker 2: earth and preach to my brethren that there is something
- 51:23Speaker 2: I need to change about my life and my ways.
- 51:26Speaker 2: And he said, no, they have Moses and they have
- 51:28Speaker 2: the loss. Let them listen to them. There was intelligent communication.
- 51:32Speaker 2: When Jesus stopped breathing in the earth, as we know,
- 51:35Speaker 2: he did not cease to live. He went to had Is,
- 51:37Speaker 2: the place of the dead. Satan, being a spirit, is alive.
- 51:40Speaker 2: Jesus being a spirit alive, the departed saense that he
- 51:45Speaker 2: preached to. According to the Gospel of Peter, Peter told
- 51:48Speaker 2: us in his epistle that he preached to the departed saints.
- 51:51Speaker 2: They believe, and he led them together. It was a
- 51:54Speaker 2: triumphant entry away together when he resurrected from the dead.
- 51:58Speaker 2: The Bible says, graves of the saints that were once
- 52:01Speaker 2: departed were open, and the people came out and walked
- 52:05Speaker 2: all through the streets of Jerusalem. This may be a
- 52:10Speaker 2: word of comfort for someone. The moment you see your
- 52:13Speaker 2: loved one close his eye or a eye never to
- 52:16Speaker 2: open it again, find comfort. It was just the body
- 52:20Speaker 2: that stopped this assignment here. But life is real. More
- 52:24Speaker 2: real is difficult for us to comprehend this because you
- 52:28Speaker 2: were not given the privilege of consciousness before your arrival here.
- 52:32Speaker 2: Consciousness began for you when you want this mortal body.
- 52:36Speaker 2: So it's difficult for you to relate with the reality
- 52:38Speaker 2: of that realm, except and unless God gives you the
- 52:41Speaker 2: privilege of visionary experiences. Supernatural and visionary experiences can train
- 52:47Speaker 2: your spirit to at least a bit to understand how
- 52:51Speaker 2: the realm of the spirit works. Are you understanding this over? Yes,
- 52:57Speaker 2: we need to work by faith because there are real
- 53:00Speaker 2: beyond us. Would you believe if I told you that
- 53:03Speaker 2: the way angels all around this place. You don't have
- 53:05Speaker 2: to wait until someone is shouting and said, oh, truly
- 53:08Speaker 2: their angels. No, the Bible says so, you see, because
- 53:12Speaker 2: the faith is based on what God said. The very
- 53:19Speaker 2: foundation of faith is built upon the person and the
- 53:23Speaker 2: speakings of God. Let me repeat myself that the very
- 53:26Speaker 2: foundation of Bible faith is built upon the person of
- 53:31Speaker 2: God and the speakings of God. What regulates the entire
- 53:35Speaker 2: faith economy in the spirit is what God has said.
- 53:39Speaker 2: If you extract what God has said, there is no
- 53:42Speaker 2: possibility for manifesting Bible faith. Again, because Bible faith must
- 53:46Speaker 2: have a business, and that basis is the Word of God.
- 53:50Speaker 2: John one one. In the beginning was the Word, and
- 53:54Speaker 2: the word was with God, and the Word was God.
- 53:57Speaker 2: Verse two. It says the same word in the beginning
- 54:01Speaker 2: with God. Verse three it says, all things I like
- 54:04Speaker 2: this were made by Him the Word, and outside of
- 54:08Speaker 2: his influence and participation, was not anything made that was made.
- 54:15Speaker 2: The second reason why we need faith and we need
- 54:18Speaker 2: to work by faith as one of the forces for
- 54:22Speaker 2: commanding greater works is that faith commits God in the
- 54:27Speaker 2: affairs of men. Faith commits God in the affairs of men.
- 54:32Speaker 2: This is profound. Faith commits God in the affairs of
- 54:36Speaker 2: men John eleven forty. That it has to do with
- 54:40Speaker 2: your conviction. Jesus said unto her, said, I'm not unto
- 54:45Speaker 2: you that if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldest see the
- 54:50Speaker 2: glory of God. You're working in faith, and you're working
- 54:56Speaker 2: by faith has an implication in that it commit it's
- 55:00Speaker 2: God in the affairs of your life. And as you
- 55:02Speaker 2: know from scripture that the moment God gets committed Look
- 55:06Speaker 2: one thirty seven to the affairs of men, impossibility vanishes.
- 55:11Speaker 2: It says, for with God nothing shall be impossible. Faith
- 55:19Speaker 2: has a unique ability to commit God in the affairs
- 55:24Speaker 2: of our lives. You want to do greater works, it
- 55:26Speaker 2: wants be by faith. And I've taught you here that faith.
- 55:30Speaker 2: Number one represents your confidence in God, who God is,
- 55:34Speaker 2: and the integrity of his person, Your conviction, your persuasion,
- 55:40Speaker 2: your confidence. Number two, faith is the action that you
- 55:44Speaker 2: take as proof that you believe God, the action that
- 55:50Speaker 2: you take as proof that you believe God in order
- 55:54Speaker 2: to commit in as touching the affairs of your life.
- 55:58Speaker 2: So when it has to do with Bible faith, two
- 56:01Speaker 2: things are involved. Number one, your conviction, your depth of
- 56:06Speaker 2: persuasion about who God is and the integrity of his person.
- 56:11Speaker 2: Number two, you must take action actions of obedience. Johnah
- 56:17Speaker 2: took action, but his action was in disobedience, So it's
- 56:21Speaker 2: not just blind action. You must act according as God
- 56:25Speaker 2: has directed. If it be now bid me come, and
- 56:29Speaker 2: he said come. If the guy sat back, that will
- 56:32Speaker 2: be action, but not action of faith. Most people act
- 56:36Speaker 2: but acting disobedience. If God says God left and you
- 56:39Speaker 2: go right, you're not working by faith. Albeit you are acting,
- 56:43Speaker 2: but not by faith. Are we together, are you saying
- 56:49Speaker 2: that the entire economy of faith depends on who God
- 56:54Speaker 2: is and what He has said. So the foundation for
- 56:57Speaker 2: Bible faith, as you have been taught, is to find
- 56:59Speaker 2: out what God has said, what has he said? I
- 57:02Speaker 2: refer you to my message exceeding great and precious promises,
- 57:07Speaker 2: a compendium, a capture of everything God has said that
- 57:12Speaker 2: provides an advantage to the believer in Christ. Efficients one
- 57:17Speaker 2: and the three. The Bible says that God had given us,
- 57:21Speaker 2: had blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places
- 57:26Speaker 2: in Christ. Please hear me. If you do not learn
- 57:32Speaker 2: to walk by faith, you will be limited. You will
- 57:36Speaker 2: be crying and blaming God, whereas supernatural blessings are on
- 57:41Speaker 2: their way coming to you, just because you cannot see it.
- 57:44Speaker 2: I gave an example last week. I hope you still
- 57:46Speaker 2: remember about someone who would leave Legos? Was it last week? Yes?
- 57:52Speaker 2: That if someone took a flight from Legos and you
- 57:54Speaker 2: were waiting for the person at the airport coming to Abuja,
- 57:57Speaker 2: did you know that a fifteen minutes light and for
- 58:00Speaker 2: about forty six to forty seven minutes of that flight
- 58:04Speaker 2: from the time it lived, you are not going to
- 58:06Speaker 2: see the plane. Yet you are aware and you believe
- 58:09Speaker 2: you are convinced that the person did not die in
- 58:11Speaker 2: the sky is on his way coming, and you are
- 58:13Speaker 2: there standing away together. Occasionally they might be it delayed,
- 58:18Speaker 2: maybe some minutes, but then you see the plane and
- 58:23Speaker 2: then it arrives. When you are going home from coin Onia,
- 58:26Speaker 2: did you know that for over ninety eight percent of
- 58:29Speaker 2: the journey you do not see your house, and yet
- 58:31Speaker 2: you believe it is there. What makes you believe that
- 58:34Speaker 2: the house has not disappeared? Now while you are here,
- 58:38Speaker 2: you believe that the food you left in your kitchen
- 58:40Speaker 2: is still there waiting for you. Am I right on?
- 58:43Speaker 2: That this is not word of knowledge? This is experience? Allelujah?
- 58:48Speaker 2: Where else should the food be away together? By faith?
- 58:58Speaker 2: So when God says Deuteronomy twenty eight one and two,
- 59:03Speaker 2: that it shall come to passive, that shall diligently happen
- 59:06Speaker 2: to the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe
- 59:08Speaker 2: and to do all his commandments, which I command you
- 59:12Speaker 2: this day, That the Lord that God will set thee
- 59:15Speaker 2: on high above the nations of the earth. Above how
- 59:20Speaker 2: many nations coming Onia, Please answer me above? How many
- 59:24Speaker 2: nations do you believe? That? Above all the nations? And
- 59:30Speaker 2: you see while he's saying that you are looking at
- 59:33Speaker 2: the fact that you do not have a job. While
- 59:35Speaker 2: he's saying that you are looking at the fact that
- 59:37Speaker 2: you do not have you know, maybe some kind of qualification.
- 59:41Speaker 2: And yet he does not change what he's saying because
- 59:44Speaker 2: of your condition powerful At any given point in your life,
- 59:50Speaker 2: there are at least two reports that tear you and
- 59:53Speaker 2: your destiny at the face. It is up to you
- 59:55Speaker 2: to choose whose report you would believe. This is the
- 59:58Speaker 2: character of faith. There are men sitting down here were
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: so blessed by the testimony of the dear lady feeling
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: pains and having pains. And I like the fact that
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: she took responsibility to at least go to the hospital,
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: but that did not stop her from releasing her faith.
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: Bible faith produces Bible. Faith produces Bible faith produces ladies
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: and gentlemen. What you call coinonia today, by the grace
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: of God, is a product of faith. There are no
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: guarantees in life. Nobody gives you any guarantee anywhere. We
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: live in a world that is obsessed with guarantees. Unfortunately
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: it does not exist. Calling your uncle your guarantees a risk.
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: In fact, calling yourself your guarantee is a risk. Calling
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: the habilist in your village a guarantee is a risk,
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: because when men sleep, only God wakes men. There is
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: something that is common to all men. The moment is sleep.
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: The habilis must receive grace to wake up to continue
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: what he is doing. I lay me down and I slept.
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: The sammy said, I wait for the Lord. Waiting people
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: is exclusive, is exclusively the prerogreative, and the office of God,
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: not devil. Anyway, I can tell you that. So when
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: people act as if they have your destiny their hand,
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: tell they make sure you don't sleep. Yes, sir, yes, sir,
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: by tomorrow, if you're still there, probably are not. Hey,
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: be careful, Be careful, because the sun is going down.
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: Be careful. Very arrogant world that forgets that there is
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: a God that rules over the affairs of men. Have
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: you forgotten the Bocadnezza a man who believed that he
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: had everything, the entire globe in his hand, and he
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: could manipulate the destinies of men. And he said, make
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: the fiery furnace seven times hotter. And they threw those
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: young boys there on account of their trust and their
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: believing Jesus. They said, we're not taught to dishonor authority,
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: but as touching this one, we're not careful to tell
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: you Our God will deliver us. But even if it
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: does not deliver us, we count him faithful. And they
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: saw the Fourth Man in the fire. Allelujah. Now I
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: don't know if they themselves saw the Fourth Man, because
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: the Bible does not seem to record that they themselves
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: saw the Fourth Man. We know that the man who
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: saw the Fourth Man was the King himself and the
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: other people. All we know is that they believed that
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: the fire had no power over them. The faith was
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: on their own part because they were not They didn't
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: have to see the Fourth Man to enter the fire,
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: and most likely will they were in the fire, they
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: probably did not see the fire. You see when you
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: are walking by fate. Usually it is those who are
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: the onlookers who will be seeing the marvelous things that
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: God is doing. You just know you are obeying God.
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: You are in that fire, and you are working that
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: fire out. You're in that den of lions, and yet
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: it has no power waiting. Who will not enter the
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: fire when you see the fourth Man already waiting it
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: is easy to give when you have a lot of
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: ten million in your account, then you smuggle out one
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: thousand and say, God, you see what I gave you?
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: Is that really faith? That is charity? Are we together?
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: It's a true faith. Abel offered, how about Abraham, I
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: will make you a father of many nations? No evidence,
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: no Isaac and the Bible elaus as in the order
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: of men and women he had become very old, and
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: Sarah even when she had gone past, as in the
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: manner of women, the Bible says, And yet they counted
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: God faithful. You find that in Romance chapter for that
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: he wavered, not I like Abraham. He wavered, not Romans
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: four and verse twenty. Thank you that he counted God faithful.
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: Are we together? He concede that, not the deadness of
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: Sarah's womb. He's ta God, not at the promise of
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: God through unbelief, but was strong in faith. In fact.
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: Back down, go to eighteen eighteen. He says, who agains hope?
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: Did you see that the foundation of faith is that
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: there is hopelessness already hopelessness? It gains hope believed in
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: hope that he might become the father. Imagine if you
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: saw Abraham ninety years Abraham, how are you? And he says,
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: I'm still whole, heading on to God's word. And you say, Abraham,
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: you are still at this madness called Christianity. I know
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: he spoke to me. It's not a lie. And he
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: himself will go to God and say, God, why are
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: you doing this to me seeing that I got childless? Okay,
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: here is Elias in my house. You somebody in my
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: house who respects me to have children for me? And
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: God says, no, it will come from you. I will
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: hold on through the storm, and I will hold on
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: to your work. My life will soon reveal you're the
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: lifter of men, the lifter of men. Yes, I will
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: hold on through the storm. I will hold on through
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: my life ill soon reveal you're the lift of man. Phnonia,
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: hear me. It does not just pay to serve Jesus.
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: It pays to believe in. I don't know what he
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: has told you. I don't know what he's told your family.
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: I don't know what he said concerning your health, concerning
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: your ministry. He saw the prevailing circumstances when he said it,
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: and it does not plan to change what he has
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: said it's up to you to believe his report. Hear me.
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: At every point in your Christian experience, will you will
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: be met by at least two conflicting reports, the reports
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: of men, the reports of ill health, the report of society,
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: the report of the present day economy globally speaking, or
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: whose report God's report? The integrity of God has captured
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: in scripture, you're a man of God. Here possible where
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: the bills come from? Your parents? School fish has been
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: increased multiple folds, rent increased multiple fold, the amount to
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: buy your house, to do whatever it is. Perhaps you
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: are here struggling with all kinds of things and your
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: faith is really shaky. Can I tell you I know
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: a God who is mercy, fool and faithful, landracious. You
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: know that song and the apple love is as.
- 1:07:40Speaker 4: I like this bat He's pa, So I will.
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: God hear me. The message for you here is hold on.
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: God is still as faithful as you've known him to be.
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: Don't allow negative situations. So this is how my life
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: will be. I thought by now a job would have come.
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: I wanted to still hold on in the name of Jesus.
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: The devil is a liar. I taught by now the
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: hell I prayed, I submitted my prayer request, and I
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: taught by now I'll be free. I wanted to count
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: him faithful. Counting faithful, You're not the first to go
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: through what you're going through. He's called faithful and true.
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: Please say down, you want to command greater works, man
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: of God. Waiting for a destiny helper to bring all
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: the money for you. Before you begin to pray and
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: plan to have the building you will never build anything
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: in your whole life. Start writing the budget with zero
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: and iron your account. Start. It's an act of faith.
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: Are we together? Be careful about this over this scientific
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: approach to Christianity. Now, science is important. I just acknowledged science.
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: But over dependence on intellect can rob you of an
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: opportunity to work by faith. Can I tell you, no
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: matter what you are getting from God, no matter how
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: cheap it is, if it is God that will be
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: the giver, faith be required. Faith. God will rout you
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: through a part that will demand that you believe him. So,
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: he says, follow them, move through faith and patience have
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: obtained the promise, he says. And Abraham, after he had
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: patiently endured, he obtained the promise. If someone learning. We
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: must obtain grace to walk by faith. Anything God tells me,
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: I believe him. I don't wait until I see any evidence.
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: I believe him. Koinonia, I say, great nation, I believe him.
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: You are going to raise mighty men after the order
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: of Genesis seventeen and verse six. This is what God
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: told me, and I believe with all my heart Genesis
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: seventeen six. I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: will make nations of THEE, and kings shall come out
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: of THEE. This is what God told me. He didn't
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: say it yesterday. He didn't say it last year. He
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: didn't say ten Yes, and go waiting until you see
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: the evidence, you will only waste your time and not
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: walk by faith. There to believe God. There, to obey God.
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: There to act in keeping with what He has told you,
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: and watch the God of wonder, the God of Wonder
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: arise for you. Every testimony you see shared here is
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: the end point of the journey of faith. The end
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: point of the journey of faith. Usually when you start,
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: you start with nothing except what God has said. The
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: raw material for your destiny, essentially is the word of God.
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: If he has said it is sufficient to start the journey.
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: The same word that caused you to begin the journey
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: will keep the things you need somewhere in your path.
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: If you never take the step, you will not meet
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: what you need in the journey. What you need for
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: the wild not be given at the point you start.
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: Ah ah. The only thing that will be giving at
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: the point of the journey is the Holy Spirit and
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: the world. That is sufficient for the journey. And you
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: start one step after the other, falling down? What's standing up?
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: Getting up? Oh? God, what is this? I don't understand you.
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: You promise me that you're going to take care of me.
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: You ask me to come down to Abuja. Now I
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: mean Abuja. It's been six months. I don't even know
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: where my next meal will come from. And you hear
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: a word from the spirit while you are praying. Turn
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: your pain, Turn everything you're going through to praise. I
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: am giving you a testimony that will bless people tomorrow.
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: And in the midst of your tears. You may not
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: know what to do, and you are taking the time
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: to prayer and say, Lord, I still count you faithful.
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: I thought by now a job will come. I taught
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: by now the help us would have arrived. But I
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: say thank you. Can I tell you when you thank
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: God in the midst of storms, you really have faith.
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: When you thank God in the midst of your result,
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: that is praise report. But when you are thanking God
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: when you have not seen anything, allelujah, learn to thank him.
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: We live in a world that prides him, complaining God,
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: you have not done this. You gave me tea, no bread.
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: Am I supposed to take it? And God says you
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: Just keep thanking me and taking the tea with gratitude
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: and bread will arrive the force of faith. Let's hurry up.
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: Number four. Are you ready for the fourth force? It's
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: God helping someone. Here. Am I speaking to people who
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: will begin to manifest greater works by the spirit in
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: the name of Jesus, the Son of the Living God.
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: Are you ready for Force number four? The Force of
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: wealth and abundance? Please write the fourth force that is
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: responsible for commanding greater works is the force of wealth
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: and abundance. Zachariah one seventeen. The force of wealth and abundance.
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: Cry yet saying first saying the Lord of host my cities,
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: true prosperity shall be spread abroad, and the Lord shall
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: yet comfort Zion and shall choose Jerusalem Scripture number two,
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: Deuteronomy eight eighteen. But doubt shall remember the Lord die
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: God here what the Bible says. For it is he
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: not it is it. It is he that giveth the
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant,
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: which he swear onto thy fathers, as it is this day.
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: Can I tell you wealth from time immemorial has always
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: played a major role in shaping civilizedization, promoting evil or
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: promoting righteousness. Let me repeat myself again that wealth and
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: abundance from time in memorial has played a unique role
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: of promoting shaping civilizations, promoting evil or promoting good. When
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: you see evil in a society and a territory behind
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: the ever increasing decadence of any society, is wealth playing
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: a role, a wrong role. When you see advancement and
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: civilization of any sort in any society behind it, there
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: is wealth playing its role. When you see the purposes
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: of God being advanced from place to place behind it,
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: there is wealth playing is role. Either ways, whether you
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: want to promote evil or promote good, wealth is a
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: tool that must be present and evident. I've learned from scripture.
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: And I can tell you sincerely by experience, that the
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: absence of financial resources will cripple your life, will cripple
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: your destiny, will cripple the program of God. Let me
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: show you a scripture that might interest you. Matchw twenty
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: eight from verse one. At the end of the Sabbath,
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: watch this as it began to dawn towards the first
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: day of the week. This is the resurrection morning. Mary Magdalene,
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: and Mary and the other Mary came to see the
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: sepulcher verse two. And behold, the Bible says, there was
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: a great earthquake, for the Angel of the Lord descended
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: from heaven and came and rolled back the stone from
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: the door and sat on it. Three It says. His
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: countenance was like lighting, and its raiment was white as snow.
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: It says, And for fear of him, watch this now.
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: The keepers the gods that were put around the grave,
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: the Bible says, they did shake, and they became as
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: dead men. Five, he says, and the Angel answered and
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: said on to the women, hear not, for I know
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: that he seek Jesus, which was crucified. Ahh, he is
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: not here. For his reason hallelujah. As he said. He says,
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: come see the place where the Lord lay. Seven, and
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: go quickly. The Angel is giving them an instruction by God.
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: Tell his disciples. So the Angel he said, listen, don't
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: keep quiet about the fact that he's reason. Announce it
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: that he's risen from the dead. And behold, he go
- 1:17:34Speaker 2: forward before you into Galilee, and ye shall see him
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: as I have told you verse eight. And they gathered.
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: They departed quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy,
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: and did run to bring his disciples. Word nine. And
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: as they went to tell his disciples, watch this, the
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: Bible says, behold, Jesus met them, and he said, all hale.
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: And they came and held him by the feet and
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: worshiped him. Ten. And then said Jesus onto them, be
- 1:18:05Speaker 2: not afraid. Jesus is now mandating them. Go tell my
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: brethren that they go into Galilee, and there they shall
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: meet me. Eleven. Reading too, fifteen, it says, now when
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: they were going, behold watch this, some of the watch
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: came into the city and showed onto the chief priest
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: all the things that were done. That means those who
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: were at the sepulcher right the gods. They came and
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: told the chief priest, listen, we witnessed something spectacular. We
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: saw an angel came. Was not a vision. He rolled
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: away the stone with great power. And the Bible says
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: when verse twelve, and when they were assembled with the elders,
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: when the chief priest had this, they said, Wow, they
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: knew the truth. They knew the gods who were not lying.
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: But the Bible says they assembled themselves together, look carefully,
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: and had to take counsel. And they gave what large
- 1:19:02Speaker 2: money onto the soldiers. They called the soldiers and said,
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: come this resurrection. If the whole city knows it, there
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: will be obedient to the faith. This is literally going
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: to bring an end to a civilization and start another.
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: But we are going to do something. Take large amount
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: of money, and with that money, here is the instruction. Thirteen.
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: Say this that his disciples came by night. You see
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: how powerful money is, says disciples came by night and
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: told him away while we slept. Fourteen. And if this
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: come to the governor's yares, don't worry, because it to
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: get to the governor. Don't be afraid that you say
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: you were sleeping will have a way of covering you.
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: It says, we will passuade him and secure you. So
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: they took the money. What did they do with the money.
- 1:19:57Speaker 2: They took the money because they had wives and children,
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: they had bills to pay. And instead of the ten
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: ten narras salary, now a large amount of money just
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: to lie. Who is Jesus relative to my children's goofies?
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: Who is that Jesus relative to my wife's trouble that
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: I'm looking for ten thousand mira? Now you bring me
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: twenty million just to make a little lie and say
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: he did not resurrect with speed? Give me? Are you
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: seeing number one? If those guys were bad people, they
- 1:20:28Speaker 2: will not even come to report it. They can because
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: the thing troubled them. It was from a standpoint of conviction.
- 1:20:35Speaker 2: Conviction is at the messy of prosperity. To be stabilized,
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: to be guaranteed, your conviction will shake like a leave
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: if you're not empowered. One moment they come and you're
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: saying the truth, and they say, come, come, come, come, come.
- 1:20:50Speaker 2: We have to announce that he's not raising. Let's finish
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: that scripture, And it says saying to the disciples, that
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: they came and stold him fourteen. Now it says, and
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: him and secure you read verse fifteen place ready one
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: to read. So they took the money and did as
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: they were taught. And this saying is commonly reported among
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: the Jews until this day. Longevity of lives promoted by money.
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: That there are people who went to hell today. Now
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: there are people who are in hell because a group
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: of people paid to make sure they don't get life.
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: Do you know Satan is still paying people today to
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: say Jesus is not raising. There are many people, many
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: of our children, across the globe today learning all kinds
- 1:21:44Speaker 2: of things sponsored by the abundance of financial resources. I
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: will repeat it one more time for your hearing, Koinonia,
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: that the name of Jesus is very heavy. It takes
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: financial resources to lift it high so that the nations
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: will see. Out of all the strategies to stop the
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: manifestation of the name of Jesus, Satan decided to choose
- 1:22:12Speaker 2: the issue of finance. Please do not downplay it. I
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: was teaching the workers and also a school of ministry
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: students that when you remain in abject poverty, three things
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: must happen to you. One you must steal, Two you
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: must tell lies. Three you must borrow one of these
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: three things. Usually all three will eventually happen to you.
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: If you are poor. It has nothing to do with
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: whether you are good or bad. It is the consequence
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: of not being empowered economically. For instance, if you don't
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: have the money to pay your rent. Even if you're
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: a sincere prayer warrior, chances are excellent that when your
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: wife and your children are about to be kicked out
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: of the house, you willn't know where. You will beg
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: your wife to say, please tell them I traveled. I
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: will tell God sorry later on board for now, and
- 1:23:07Speaker 2: you will feel bad, and yet you will repeat it again.
- 1:23:13Speaker 2: The bondage that poverty puts men. It would take God
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: to open your eyes to seed. I have told you
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: that every time we advocate wealth and abundance is from
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: a pro kingdom standpoint. Don't approach it from a canal
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: mundane standpoint, just fueling lost. This is not what we're teaching.
- 1:23:29Speaker 2: But I can tell you that among the many tools
- 1:23:32Speaker 2: that must be present in your life. First, to live
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: a life of dignity, then to advance the purposes of God,
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: and then to fulfill Genesis twelve three that in this
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: shall all the families of the earth be blessed. You
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: will not be able to do greater works if you
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: lack resources. That is the truth the force of wealth
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: and abundance. I used to word the Great Crusades of
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: reinhard Bonke the Great Crusades of Billy Graham, and they
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: would pat stadiums. And I know that usually when we
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: watch those crusades, the central point is just Billy Graham coming.
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: But you need to have an understanding of the budgets.
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: Are we together now by the privilege of God's grace
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: and by reason of what I do. I can't tell
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: you that it takes serious amount of money to do
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: anything meaningful for the Kingdom. Souls are expensive. It takes
- 1:24:32Speaker 2: resources to bring them to the cross. The gospel is free,
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: they say, but the means to take it to the
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: loss is not free. Allelujah prays. The name of the
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: Lord takes a lot. There are many people today who
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: have relevant teaching messages that can shape the body of Christ,
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: can help us come into a greater level of stature
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: and understanding, but they cannot publish those works because they're
- 1:24:59Speaker 2: in papacyated financially. Am I right on that? There are
- 1:25:02Speaker 2: many parents today who have been given the responsibility of
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: raising the next apostles and prophets, and they know by
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: the spirit that God already told them that your child
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: is going to be a mighty tool before I return.
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: But to take that child to a good missionary school,
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: a responsible school where he can be prepared for destiny.
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: They want to do so, but they do not have
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: the resources to make it happen. It is terrible to
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: know what to do and still be limited because of finances.
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: I'm praying for you in the name of Jesus, the
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: Son of the Living God, that which limits men, incapacitates
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: men financially and makes your life a representation of mockery
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: and shame. May it live your life from tonight. Allelujah,
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: Please be seated. I've done several teachings on finance. I
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: want you to lay hold of them and listen. One
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: of them you may want to pay attention to. Is
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: the series The Power to Get Wealth. I wanted to
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: settle I'm not teaching on finance. I'm just introducing it.
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: As one of the irrefutable forces that is responsible for
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: greater works. Can I tell you, when money enters the
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: hand of a man whose heart loves God and who
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: has wisdom and vision, you will watch the wonder of
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: Kingdom advance through that person. Let me repeat myself. When
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: money financial resources enter the hands of a man whose
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: heart is passionately in love with God and who has
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: wisdom and vision, you will watch how far he will
- 1:26:38Speaker 2: take the program of God. There are many visionary people today,
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: great people, but are limited, limited financially, limited financially this
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: vision is excelling today by the village of God's grace
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: because there is a mandate from God. There are faithful
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: and wonderful workers. But I tell you sincerely, I'm speaking
- 1:27:08Speaker 2: to the whole world, and you know this is true.
- 1:27:10Speaker 2: What you see is also riding on the wings of
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: huge financial resources. Without financial resources, there are many many
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: things that will not come to pass. Alle Lujah. It
- 1:27:23Speaker 2: takes money to raise your children properly. It takes money
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: to make a choice of a good school that you
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: can be sure of what they are learning, especially in
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: this wicked world today. Are we together? Education has become
- 1:27:38Speaker 2: so expensive globally speaking, and that includes our nation. And
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I don't mean to make you feel bad,
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: but have you sampled children and see the difference in
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: their understanding as a result of a good school and
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: a bad school? I greet. I'm always around children, and
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: sometimes my heart breaks because you will see a child
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: of four or five six years old who has had
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: the privilege of being mentored by parents that God does
- 1:28:04Speaker 2: help financially and they've provided that leverage. And then you
- 1:28:08Speaker 2: see all that children with their heart that is sincere.
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: You know there is destiny in these children. But you
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: see that because probably their parents or their guidance were
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: incapacitated financially. The difference in intelligence, the difference in a commen,
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: the difference in understanding is clear, and these poor children
- 1:28:26Speaker 2: will grow with low self esteem. That's why they start
- 1:28:29Speaker 2: joining cult by age thirteen. Since they're intellectually weak, they
- 1:28:35Speaker 2: will want to join a cult or a group where
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: the person can now become a capon. If I don't
- 1:28:42Speaker 2: have understanding, at least let me have the ability to kill.
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: Do you know that? Consult with any military personality and
- 1:28:51Speaker 2: they will tell you most of the terrorists that inflict
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: mayhem in this nation, and across the nations, most of
- 1:28:57Speaker 2: them are from teenagers into their midwin How many old
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: people have the strength to do all these kind of things.
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: It takes strength to serve even the devil, And the
- 1:29:09Speaker 2: devil will not do with people who are too weak
- 1:29:11Speaker 2: and cannot be effective. And so he goes. He literally
- 1:29:15Speaker 2: looks for a demography and age range and captures them.
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: But in the name of Jesus, we are here on
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: a mission to redeem all that the devil has plogged.
- 1:29:24Speaker 2: That the devil has shane families, shame, bread winners, shame, destiny,
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: help us. Using the tool of poverty, he has programmed
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: it to even be transgenerational, so that all the discipline
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: godly serious young men in certain families, they never dare
- 1:29:41Speaker 2: to rise until you fraternize with him and meet them,
- 1:29:45Speaker 2: have a list, and you find out irresponsible people. Now
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: begin to rise, and praying for you, every chain of
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: poverty that has held your life, held your children, in
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: the name of He who died and rose again, may
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: be broken now and forever. Allelujah. With prosperity. When prosperity
- 1:30:12Speaker 2: mixes with wisdom and vision, it does much for the kingdom.
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: When prosperity meets with a canal heart, a careless mind,
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: a visionless destiny, an irresponsible personality. It becomes a detriment
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: to kingdom, come a detriment to kingdom advance. There is
- 1:30:31Speaker 2: no fear as to opening your heart to receive prosperity
- 1:30:35Speaker 2: when you know your heart is right with God. Are
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: we together now? Because it becomes an advantage. I look
- 1:30:45Speaker 2: forward to times where God will raise certain strategic kingdom finance. Yes,
- 1:30:51Speaker 2: that there will be a group of men who will
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: set up a company with the principle reason to fund
- 1:30:57Speaker 2: the kingdom because they are so blessed, I don't need
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: anything as far as their personal gains. A concern that
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: they literally build companies and corporations, and many will come
- 1:31:08Speaker 2: out of this vision in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 1:31:13Speaker 2: Literally that they will sit down in board meetings and
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: they're not just talking about sharing profits. They're saying, okay,
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: there is a crusaid about to happen there. How much
- 1:31:23Speaker 2: ten million narra let it go there. I hear that
- 1:31:25Speaker 2: there is some missionaries they need to translate Bibles to
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: houser and translate to French. Ten millionaira. Let this one
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: go for the kingdom. I hear that there is some
- 1:31:34Speaker 2: missionary that has been kidnapped somewhere, and I hear that
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: his wife and children are grounded. No food. Please send
- 1:31:41Speaker 2: a million narra. Imagine living a life like that, and
- 1:31:44Speaker 2: Heaven is watching you. I'm saying, who is this ambassador
- 1:31:47Speaker 2: representing my purposes? This much? This is the assignment of money.
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: Not I have a jip, I have a car, I
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: have houses, Thank God for those things. Are people who
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: have been trained to love God more than dads. Allelujah.
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: Imagine one of you here that God gives you a
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: vision to raise hundred children from primary school till university
- 1:32:13Speaker 2: because you want them to love the Lord. You handpick
- 1:32:16Speaker 2: them and God tells you this, lady, you are saying,
- 1:32:18Speaker 2: this is Esther forming, this is Elijah forming, this is
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: Daniel farming. Give them a chance. It's not your fault
- 1:32:25Speaker 2: that your parents died. It's not their fault that their
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: parents are idol worshipers. The parents who say, well, my
- 1:32:30Speaker 2: child will worship the devil, but if you can't pay
- 1:32:33Speaker 2: for his hoof, is carry him as a liability. And
- 1:32:36Speaker 2: he said, no problem, bring him to me. Tell me
- 1:32:44Speaker 2: who ignore you when you go to a community and
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: build fifty boreholes in the name of Jesus. Fifty represented
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: hundred boreholes and say, this community, do read the history
- 1:32:56Speaker 2: of the Church in Nigeria and revivers in Nigeria. Those
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: who came with the Gods also came with benefits that
- 1:33:02Speaker 2: improved the lives of people. And because of that, the
- 1:33:06Speaker 2: communities were at the messy of the permission that their
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: kings will give them. And because of the benevolence, the
- 1:33:12Speaker 2: kings will usually have a meeting and say, this day,
- 1:33:15Speaker 2: I stand as a king over this community, and I
- 1:33:17Speaker 2: declare that as a community who will serve the Lord.
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: And every other person follows suit. When kings receive Jesus,
- 1:33:26Speaker 2: their communities receive Jesus. Do you believe what I'm saying? Listen,
- 1:33:31Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, Among the many things you must open
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: your heart to receive in this kingdom in this season
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: is the prosperity package that God is dispensing to people
- 1:33:45Speaker 2: who have visions who love him. God. Are the days
- 1:33:49Speaker 2: where people become an embarrassment to the kingdom because God
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: prospers them. They go ahead, they just they change. They're
- 1:33:57Speaker 2: not serious, no prayer, pride or of indiscipline. God is
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: using certain people to mentor a generation, to show them
- 1:34:05Speaker 2: what to do with money. Money is not about pride
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: and bragging and making noise and saying I am a billionnaire,
- 1:34:13Speaker 2: I am a millionnaire. Listen, if you love Jesus Christ
- 1:34:16Speaker 2: and you love his program and his purpose is, being
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: arrogant on account of finance is a total waste. It
- 1:34:22Speaker 2: is not the way the kingdom walks. The King's business
- 1:34:26Speaker 2: is bigger than just trying to show you have arrived.
- 1:34:28Speaker 2: People are not stupid. If you are blessed, They know
- 1:34:31Speaker 2: you are blessed. Am I right on that? If you
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: are here and you are trusting God, or you believe
- 1:34:38Speaker 2: you're a kingdom financier, can I tell you if all
- 1:34:41Speaker 2: you are doing is making noise and telling lies I
- 1:34:43Speaker 2: have money, God will not trust you. Because wealth in
- 1:34:46Speaker 2: the Kingdom is not an achievement, is a trust. Let
- 1:34:50Speaker 2: me repeat myself for your hearing. Wealth in the Kingdom
- 1:34:53Speaker 2: is not an achievement. It is a trust. He gave
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: on to one five talent, he gave on to one two.
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: It will look like you worked for it, But that
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: wisdom came from God, that favor came from God. You
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: can use wisdom to open a big mall, but it
- 1:35:09Speaker 2: takes God to bring customers to you. Cononia, don't be
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: afraid of being prosperous. Did you hear what I'm saying?
- 1:35:20Speaker 2: Let me repeat myself. Do not be afraid of being prosperous.
- 1:35:24Speaker 2: Your fear of money will cost more harm to the
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: program of God than good. The fear of money does
- 1:35:32Speaker 2: not make you more spiritual. It is canality, a heart
- 1:35:36Speaker 2: that does not love God, a hat that wants to
- 1:35:39Speaker 2: When Satan comes to your life, it's not only your
- 1:35:41Speaker 2: money he will use you, will use your whole life.
- 1:35:45Speaker 2: He will manipulate every thing God gave you for your destruction.
- 1:35:49Speaker 2: But I can tell you if people paid what brought
- 1:35:53Speaker 2: Samson down. I know you say it's delilah, but it's
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: not really Delilah. It was money. The Philistines called the
- 1:36:01Speaker 2: Lilah and said, listen, there is a man who has
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: become a jodge over Israel. This man has mysterious strength,
- 1:36:08Speaker 2: mysterious strength that one man can use the job bone
- 1:36:12Speaker 2: of a donkey and kill three thousand Philistines. What army
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: will stand before that man. We want you to please.
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: We will give you money, can you help us to
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: find out the source of his strength, and if possible,
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: destroy that man for us, ladies and gentlemen. What a
- 1:36:28Speaker 2: lion could not do, what a beer could not do,
- 1:36:32Speaker 2: what an army could not do. You would think a
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: woman did it. It's not a woman that did it.
- 1:36:37Speaker 2: Money is what did it. If they had met her
- 1:36:42Speaker 2: and said, can you be a participant in an agenda
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: go and kill something, she probably would have insulted them
- 1:36:48Speaker 2: and walked out of that place. But when they brought money,
- 1:36:50Speaker 2: she said, all right, let's say down, let's talk. What
- 1:36:52Speaker 2: do you want? You want to bring down something? It's
- 1:36:57Speaker 2: difficult to How much are you going to give me?
- 1:37:00Speaker 2: Got something? It's not just this somebody that tought the lion.
- 1:37:02Speaker 2: That means I can die in the process. This mission
- 1:37:05Speaker 2: is a risky mission. If he killed the lion, I
- 1:37:09Speaker 2: mean use a business sense. She will never share it
- 1:37:11Speaker 2: as a business woman. You think she would just receive
- 1:37:15Speaker 2: peanuts for the risk of killing something. You know what
- 1:37:17Speaker 2: it takes to kill something? Find out how many times
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: she tried and feel Samson, the Philly stands out upon you,
- 1:37:24Speaker 2: and he got up and he said, you lie to
- 1:37:26Speaker 2: me again. I don't know what well, anyway do we
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: live that for another discussion. The most important thing is
- 1:37:34Speaker 2: that Sathing eventually went down. Are we together many times?
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: Do you know if something real lied? I don't know
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: what really happened to him. Maybe it was an attack.
- 1:37:46Speaker 2: But if if imagine, listen, listen, listen, imagine that Samson
- 1:37:52Speaker 2: eventually got angry and looked at her a lion sathon toy,
- 1:37:59Speaker 2: a lion toy. Beer defeated the Philistines really moved the
- 1:38:04Speaker 2: city gate, not the door to your house, the gates
- 1:38:07Speaker 2: to a city that people use cranes to carry. He
- 1:38:12Speaker 2: carried it and then went up a mountain dropped it there.
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: If you were answer one five such a man, wouldn't
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: you turn and look at the person who sent you
- 1:38:20Speaker 2: and say? Is this how you want to kill me?
- 1:38:23Speaker 2: So imagine But with all of that, when money came,
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: he's a cleared away. Let me show you the power
- 1:38:29Speaker 2: I have. I don't talk, but I moved things money
- 1:38:33Speaker 2: for you, and Deliah said, all right, since you brought
- 1:38:37Speaker 2: the subject of money, I can't take the risk. Finally,
- 1:38:42Speaker 2: Samson revealed the secret my glory and the powers in
- 1:38:46Speaker 2: the Covenant that is captured in my hair Samson, the
- 1:38:52Speaker 2: Philistines are upon you. He got up. The Bible said,
- 1:38:55Speaker 2: he shook himself as before this time around money had gone,
- 1:39:03Speaker 2: and noticed the moment they discovered after she shaved his hair,
- 1:39:08Speaker 2: the next thing that happened was his eyes, not his hands.
- 1:39:12Speaker 2: Vision was what was taking away immediately his eyes were
- 1:39:17Speaker 2: plucked out. When his eyes were plocked out, the devil
- 1:39:21Speaker 2: did not want to remove the hand, because you will
- 1:39:23Speaker 2: still be useful for the devil. And you see what
- 1:39:25Speaker 2: a great man a George, a man who was dreaded
- 1:39:28Speaker 2: dead by that some of the best armies in the
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: dead world. He became one who was going around threshing
- 1:39:34Speaker 2: in the prison. He was bound with fetters, and his
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: assignment was to go and be grinding. Can you imagine
- 1:39:40Speaker 2: reduce from a place of honor using the tool of
- 1:39:43Speaker 2: money and praying for you whatever has reduced you to
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: a place of shame and mockery, reduced your family or
- 1:39:53Speaker 2: deigned for greatness, but brought down because of the absence
- 1:39:57Speaker 2: of economic resources. May my God, who is the lifter
- 1:40:00Speaker 2: of men in this season that the church is tepping
- 1:40:03Speaker 2: into it, in the name of Jesus, May God prosperre
- 1:40:07Speaker 2: you for greater works. May my God prosperre you for
- 1:40:12Speaker 2: greater works. Please say down the force of wealth and abundance.
- 1:40:27Speaker 2: Number five. Are you ready for the fifth force? The
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: fifth force that is responsible for greater works? My God,
- 1:40:35Speaker 2: I really believe that this world is entering someone's spirit,
- 1:40:38Speaker 2: that you are getting There is a holy anger that
- 1:40:41Speaker 2: is coming upon you. That when you get up, you
- 1:40:43Speaker 2: will coordinate all these forces and your life will become
- 1:40:46Speaker 2: a sign and a wonder. The fifth force that is
- 1:40:51Speaker 2: responsible for exalting and releasing Jesus revealing him to the
- 1:40:55Speaker 2: world is called the force of influence. Right down, please,
- 1:41:01Speaker 2: Influence is power, the force of influence, the force of influence.
- 1:41:11Speaker 2: Influence is power. Please write it down. Influence is great power.
- 1:41:18Speaker 2: The force of influence. Influence, like money, are related the
- 1:41:27Speaker 2: shape civilizations. They define people's understanding, They define people's thinking,
- 1:41:33Speaker 2: They define people's values at any given point. Can I
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: tell you our world today is not just going at
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: the messy of time. Our world today is a reflection
- 1:41:48Speaker 2: of the mindset of certain influential people, godly or otherwise,
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: from technology to sociology to the language we use, the
- 1:41:58Speaker 2: way we raise children. Why family is run? Are we
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: together now, the way ministries run, the way businesses are conducted.
- 1:42:07Speaker 2: Civilization Influence literally shapes civilization. What does it mean to influence?
- 1:42:16Speaker 2: Number one? The capacity to have an effect. Influence is
- 1:42:21Speaker 2: defined as the capacity to have an effect on the character, perceptions, behaviors, decisions,
- 1:42:36Speaker 2: and the values of another. I will take it again.
- 1:42:40Speaker 2: Influence is the capacity to have an effect, whether positively
- 1:42:47Speaker 2: or negatively, an effect on the character, on the perceptions,
- 1:42:55Speaker 2: on the behavior, on the decisions, and on the value
- 1:43:01Speaker 2: of another. When you have an effect on the character,
- 1:43:06Speaker 2: the perception, the behavior, the decisions, and the values of another,
- 1:43:13Speaker 2: you are exerting influence upon that person. One last time.
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: The capacity to have an effect on the character number one,
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: number two, the perception, number three, the behavior, number four,
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: the decisions, number five, the values of another is called influence.
- 1:43:36Speaker 2: Please look up. This concept of influence is very powerful
- 1:43:43Speaker 2: and is very profound because you see a handful of
- 1:43:47Speaker 2: people historically and even now are the ones who are
- 1:43:51Speaker 2: always responsible for shaping and defining the narrative of a civilization.
- 1:43:57Speaker 2: Are we together now that people a crowd of people
- 1:44:00Speaker 2: who usually model their lives after an individual or a
- 1:44:04Speaker 2: set of individuals that they consider to be worthy of emulation.
- 1:44:09Speaker 2: They call them all kinds of names role models. Some
- 1:44:12Speaker 2: will call them celebrities, some will call them influenzas, some
- 1:44:17Speaker 2: will call them You name it. You know all the names.
- 1:44:20Speaker 2: And unfortunately, some of these people have been positive role
- 1:44:23Speaker 2: models in terms of bringing values that shape society properly,
- 1:44:28Speaker 2: but many of them, sadly, have been very wrong and
- 1:44:31Speaker 2: destructive models. There are children today who have no business
- 1:44:35Speaker 2: learning certain things except that someone they admire. You see
- 1:44:39Speaker 2: the psychology of influences. The moment you like someone and
- 1:44:44Speaker 2: he becomes a reflection of your aspiration, you will copy
- 1:44:48Speaker 2: everything you can see and find in his life, good
- 1:44:51Speaker 2: or bad, because the assumption is that whatever he is doing,
- 1:44:55Speaker 2: since he has that result to show, it must be right.
- 1:45:00Speaker 2: Are we together? So when Satan once would destroy a generation,
- 1:45:05Speaker 2: he does not go after everybody. What happens is that
- 1:45:09Speaker 2: he builds certain people through covenant back top with excellence
- 1:45:14Speaker 2: and an indoctrination that makes them know that they are
- 1:45:17Speaker 2: through Satan Antichrist vocaliso. And then when he brings them
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: when that negotiation is done, then he will exhort them
- 1:45:26Speaker 2: and give them the leverage of influence. Are we together now?
- 1:45:31Speaker 2: And From that standpoint, they begin to sell certain value systems,
- 1:45:36Speaker 2: and as ugly as some of those value systems are,
- 1:45:39Speaker 2: you would think they should be so pungent an intelligent
- 1:45:41Speaker 2: person should reject them, but never downplay what influence does
- 1:45:45Speaker 2: to a man. Influence can make darkness look like light.
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: Greater works on the wings of influence. There are many
- 1:45:57Speaker 2: people today. Do you know once point in time have
- 1:46:01Speaker 2: you noticed that, generally speaking, we speak better. Our generation
- 1:46:05Speaker 2: communicates a lot better. Not necessarily because people who have
- 1:46:08Speaker 2: gone to more schools and learned, is simply because the
- 1:46:11Speaker 2: Internet has afforded people a greater opportunity to hear and
- 1:46:15Speaker 2: listen to communicators, and that has automatically improved people. You
- 1:46:19Speaker 2: listen to our children. When you hear our children speak,
- 1:46:22Speaker 2: you wish you were them. They speak intelligently, they will
- 1:46:25Speaker 2: correct you. For I had an experience with one of
- 1:46:28Speaker 2: our lovely children. I was calling everything that was around orange.
- 1:46:33Speaker 2: So one time I was at the rotunda and I said, wow,
- 1:46:35Speaker 2: this is orange, and she tapped me. She said it's
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: not orange. I can't remember the name she called it.
- 1:46:39Speaker 2: And she was right. Ladies and gentlemen, oh is for
- 1:46:44Speaker 2: that's what you were taught anything that is oh is orange.
- 1:46:50Speaker 2: But our children, now you can imagine, they will correct
- 1:46:53Speaker 2: you and said, no, no, this is orange, this is
- 1:46:56Speaker 2: this one, this is this one. That is the level
- 1:46:58Speaker 2: of advancement. Court see in fluence. Children learn now at
- 1:47:04Speaker 2: a remarkable pace because they have all your visuals that
- 1:47:07Speaker 2: help support their understanding, pictorial representations of the things. Biology
- 1:47:12Speaker 2: used to be a nightmare, chemistry, physics, but now children
- 1:47:15Speaker 2: life while they're learning. When they fail, the teachers call
- 1:47:18Speaker 2: them and say, were you in your right state of mind?
- 1:47:19Speaker 2: Are you okay? We can repeat the test. You know
- 1:47:21Speaker 2: what happened where you were writing your test. You carry
- 1:47:26Speaker 2: your results and start crying before you get home because
- 1:47:30Speaker 2: you know exactly what will happen, and what you are
- 1:47:33Speaker 2: expecting is exactly what will happen. I leave you to
- 1:47:38Speaker 2: guess whatever it is. I will not say it. Oh, yes,
- 1:47:42Speaker 2: you know, you knew exactly what was going to happen.
- 1:47:49Speaker 2: Now results are released in eversions. You don't have to
- 1:47:51Speaker 2: join any Q and do anything. I'm just saying that
- 1:47:55Speaker 2: influence shapes civilization. Are we together very very powerful and profound?
- 1:48:00Speaker 2: It then means that if we believe us are going
- 1:48:03Speaker 2: to do greater works. We must trust God for grace
- 1:48:06Speaker 2: to accent heights and realms where our life becomes visible
- 1:48:11Speaker 2: and clear. Are way together in an elevated platform where
- 1:48:14Speaker 2: people can see the life of God in you. I
- 1:48:17Speaker 2: like Jesus Matthew Chapter five thirteen to sixteen is the
- 1:48:21Speaker 2: most concise capture of the confluence, the whole idea of influence.
- 1:48:27Speaker 2: Jesus says it this way, Ye are the salt, Matthew
- 1:48:30Speaker 2: five thirteen. Of the earthy are the salt. Ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:48:39Speaker 2: You know what salt is able to do. One pot
- 1:48:44Speaker 2: of rice does not require one pot of salt to
- 1:48:47Speaker 2: taste well away together, look at the ratio of the
- 1:48:51Speaker 2: salt that must be added to a pot of rice
- 1:48:53Speaker 2: to make it taste well, say influence. So when you
- 1:48:57Speaker 2: see a bag of salt and a bag of rice,
- 1:49:01Speaker 2: you're not holding the same thing. If you mix them
- 1:49:05Speaker 2: ratio one to one, you destroy that meal. Am I
- 1:49:08Speaker 2: right on that? So light is even a greater expression
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: of influence because light does not have to be everywhere
- 1:49:17Speaker 2: to shine everywhere. Just put it at one point and
- 1:49:20Speaker 2: give it room to shine, and it gives light to
- 1:49:23Speaker 2: everyone in the room. It says neither do men light
- 1:49:26Speaker 2: a lamb and put it under a busher. Watch this,
- 1:49:30Speaker 2: the light is put on a candlestick and kept on
- 1:49:34Speaker 2: a busher, and the whole room is illuminated by that light.
- 1:49:37Speaker 2: And Jesus says, you are that salt. Don't say we
- 1:49:41Speaker 2: are few. Don't say we are few. Five people who
- 1:49:47Speaker 2: are salt. Indeed can rewrite the narrative of a generation?
- 1:49:53Speaker 2: Am I right on that? Five people? And then he says,
- 1:49:59Speaker 2: you are light. Look at the Sun. As we know,
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: every time I use the example of the Sun, I
- 1:50:07Speaker 2: learn the power of influence. Did you know that if
- 1:50:11Speaker 2: you ask the Sun what do you do about darkness?
- 1:50:15Speaker 2: The Sun will tell you I have never seen darkness.
- 1:50:18Speaker 2: I don't even know it exists. The concept of darkness
- 1:50:22Speaker 2: is the rotation of the Earth in a way that
- 1:50:25Speaker 2: the Sun does not reach it. But as far as
- 1:50:28Speaker 2: the Sun is concerned, from its creation, there has never
- 1:50:31Speaker 2: been darkness. Because from that standpoint, isn't it brilliant? When
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: you are traveling, especially transcontinentally, you see the wisdom and
- 1:50:40Speaker 2: the beauty of the sun that one moment you are
- 1:50:44Speaker 2: living and it's night, and then you are turning to
- 1:50:47Speaker 2: the other side of the globe, and then you are
- 1:50:49Speaker 2: seeing the sun rising incredible, profound. You go to other
- 1:50:53Speaker 2: parts of the world where at about eight or nine
- 1:50:55Speaker 2: is still bright, and then all of a sudden the
- 1:50:59Speaker 2: brilliance and the wisdom of God. No one that he
- 1:51:01Speaker 2: says you are salt, and he says you are light.
- 1:51:04Speaker 2: Most believers only know that they are believers. But God
- 1:51:08Speaker 2: is transitting your understanding, giving you an apostolic perspective that
- 1:51:13Speaker 2: you are salt and you are light. Please say salt,
- 1:51:18Speaker 2: say light one more time, says salt, say light. That means,
- 1:51:22Speaker 2: in the midst of five hundred students, if you are
- 1:51:25Speaker 2: the only one who is there, you are enough to
- 1:51:27Speaker 2: create that change salt for you. The assignment of salt
- 1:51:32Speaker 2: essentially is to add taste and then to preserve. These
- 1:51:36Speaker 2: are the two principal assignments of salt. There can be
- 1:51:38Speaker 2: a lot others, of course, but then to add taste
- 1:51:42Speaker 2: and then to preserve. And you see, like I taught
- 1:51:45Speaker 2: you here in Coinonia, it is never too late to
- 1:51:48Speaker 2: add salt to a meal. This is the thing about salt.
- 1:51:51Speaker 2: There are certain ingredients that if you do not add
- 1:51:54Speaker 2: them on time, you have destroyed that meal. But even
- 1:51:57Speaker 2: when the meal is already served at the table, you
- 1:52:00Speaker 2: will still see salt, and if it does not taste,
- 1:52:04Speaker 2: you can add salt and it does not ruin the meal. Profound,
- 1:52:11Speaker 2: How about light? Remember my example that I gave you
- 1:52:14Speaker 2: ten years darkness. A room with ten years darkness, another
- 1:52:18Speaker 2: with one year darkness, another with two week darkness. Imagine
- 1:52:21Speaker 2: all of these rooms they have been that for that long,
- 1:52:24Speaker 2: and then you connect them to a bob with a
- 1:52:28Speaker 2: central switch. As soon as you switch it on, which
- 1:52:31Speaker 2: of the rooms who come up first? All of them
- 1:52:34Speaker 2: at the same time. The longevity of darkness does not
- 1:52:37Speaker 2: affect the effect of true light. Just because the light
- 1:52:41Speaker 2: has been off for ten years. As soon as you
- 1:52:44Speaker 2: get it right and you fix it in that moment,
- 1:52:47Speaker 2: the light will come up. Jesus says, I am the
- 1:52:49Speaker 2: light of the world. For as long as I am
- 1:52:51Speaker 2: in the world, I am the light of the world. Cornonia,
- 1:52:54Speaker 2: hear me. You are the light of the world. You
- 1:52:56Speaker 2: are not just Christians. You are the light of the world,
- 1:52:58Speaker 2: the light of the cause, the salt of the earth.
- 1:53:03Speaker 2: I believe in influence. Right from the time God started
- 1:53:07Speaker 2: raising and duiliness. I believed with all my heart that
- 1:53:10Speaker 2: it is profitable for us and for the kingdom to
- 1:53:14Speaker 2: attain a point of influence. Influence brings you closer to
- 1:53:18Speaker 2: the corridors of power and authority, and it affords you
- 1:53:21Speaker 2: the opportunity to enhance positive changes. Prophets in the Bible
- 1:53:26Speaker 2: were people who advise kings, their advice nobles. Nobles called
- 1:53:30Speaker 2: prophets my father. Why because among the many decisions that
- 1:53:36Speaker 2: control their nations where their submission to prophets who brought
- 1:53:42Speaker 2: to them the wisdom of God or the wisdom of
- 1:53:44Speaker 2: other deities. I don't run away from the corridors of
- 1:53:50Speaker 2: influence and power. I will not be corrupted and compromised
- 1:53:53Speaker 2: by them. But I'm not one of those men of
- 1:53:55Speaker 2: God who would chicken away. No no, no, no, no no. No.
- 1:53:57Speaker 2: Great men, big men. They are my friends. I would
- 1:53:59Speaker 2: love them, pray for them, counseldom as much as they're
- 1:54:02Speaker 2: willing to listen. There is a narrative in the Church
- 1:54:07Speaker 2: that seems to isolate the believer from the main activities
- 1:54:11Speaker 2: within the cosmos. There is a history to that era.
- 1:54:13Speaker 2: When you study the history of the Church. I don't
- 1:54:16Speaker 2: want to mention the name of the groups because I'm
- 1:54:18Speaker 2: speaking to a global audience. But when you study the
- 1:54:21Speaker 2: history of the Church, once upon a time there was
- 1:54:23Speaker 2: a group of people who believe that the idea of
- 1:54:27Speaker 2: holiness and purity was being elienated from the mainstream activities
- 1:54:32Speaker 2: of the church. And historically that happened because during an
- 1:54:35Speaker 2: emperor called Emperor Nero, there was persecution of the church.
- 1:54:40Speaker 2: Believers were burnt with fire, they were put in oil,
- 1:54:44Speaker 2: and all kinds of Mayhem was being unleashed on believers.
- 1:54:47Speaker 2: Are we together and so under the reign of Emperor Constantine,
- 1:54:51Speaker 2: Bible history will tell us that victory because of a
- 1:54:54Speaker 2: revelation God gave him of the cross, victory was brought
- 1:54:58Speaker 2: for his armies. And because of that, they liberalized the
- 1:55:03Speaker 2: practice of the Christian faith and gave an injunction that
- 1:55:06Speaker 2: Christians should no longer be persecuted on account of their faith. Now,
- 1:55:10Speaker 2: those who under the reign of men like Emperor Nero,
- 1:55:13Speaker 2: if you were saved, sometimes you would not even last
- 1:55:16Speaker 2: two three days because they were living in the midst
- 1:55:18Speaker 2: of persecution. So things like taking care of family, attending
- 1:55:22Speaker 2: to other needs was not in their mind. It was
- 1:55:24Speaker 2: just mattiadom. But when that burden was lifted, that then
- 1:55:29Speaker 2: believers did not know what to do with their lives.
- 1:55:31Speaker 2: Are you seeing now? And so a few people said, look,
- 1:55:34Speaker 2: we cannot sit here living useless lives. We love the Lord,
- 1:55:37Speaker 2: but since we're no longer dying, we have wives, we
- 1:55:40Speaker 2: have children, we have responsibilities. Were living in a society
- 1:55:44Speaker 2: that we need to be part of, even though not
- 1:55:46Speaker 2: compromised by then a group of people now branched out
- 1:55:50Speaker 2: and said, listen, we need to be involved in activities
- 1:55:53Speaker 2: of commerce, activities of nation building. We cannot alienate ourselves.
- 1:55:57Speaker 2: And that started branching different sects in the Christian faith.
- 1:56:01Speaker 2: So the idea of alienating yourself from mainstream society as
- 1:56:06Speaker 2: proof of spirituality is a repetition of an aged old error.
- 1:56:11Speaker 2: And apostolic community must know that you are sent. Please
- 1:56:15Speaker 2: say after me scent one more time, says scent. Scent
- 1:56:19Speaker 2: gives an idea of a forward movement, that you are
- 1:56:22Speaker 2: sent as light in the midst of darkness. Light is
- 1:56:26Speaker 2: not profitable in light. Here's how it works. If you
- 1:56:32Speaker 2: on your phone, Let's assume God forbid that the light
- 1:56:35Speaker 2: in this auditorium suddenly went off. You will have to
- 1:56:37Speaker 2: make do with the light on your phone. Am I
- 1:56:39Speaker 2: right on that. But when the light comes up, you
- 1:56:41Speaker 2: don't need that lesser light again, you have to put
- 1:56:43Speaker 2: it off. That's how it works. So when the world
- 1:56:48Speaker 2: will have to manage the systems that they have that
- 1:56:51Speaker 2: explain morality, that explain excellence, like using a touch light,
- 1:56:55Speaker 2: because the charge that is the true light has refused
- 1:56:57Speaker 2: to rise. So systems and policy is that sometimes may
- 1:57:01Speaker 2: not be pro Kingdom will have to be enacted and
- 1:57:05Speaker 2: established as a midwife until the manifestation of the saints.
- 1:57:10Speaker 2: But my Bible says Romance eight eighteen, for I reckon
- 1:57:14Speaker 2: that the sufferings of this present time it's not worthy
- 1:57:17Speaker 2: to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed
- 1:57:20Speaker 2: in US. Verse eighteen says, for the est expectation of creation,
- 1:57:24Speaker 2: I waited the manifestation of the sons of God. If
- 1:57:28Speaker 2: you're part of that army, shout a loud Amen, allelujah.
- 1:57:35Speaker 2: When you have the opportunity to rise through influence and
- 1:57:41Speaker 2: have the ears the heart of kings and you can
- 1:57:46Speaker 2: direct them a right. You see, this is the reason
- 1:57:49Speaker 2: why before God will trust a man with influence, he
- 1:57:52Speaker 2: will deal with your flesh, and flesh must die. Do
- 1:57:55Speaker 2: you know why because when you ruse to a point
- 1:57:58Speaker 2: of influence, you are now at and within the corridors
- 1:58:01Speaker 2: of power. And it takes a covenant walk with God
- 1:58:05Speaker 2: not to be compromised by the Greeks and the glamor
- 1:58:08Speaker 2: that power brings. The challenge until now, for the body
- 1:58:12Speaker 2: of Christ is people who have been ill trained and
- 1:58:15Speaker 2: have not stayed to be properly trained and mentored. If
- 1:58:18Speaker 2: they find themselves in position of authority, with all due respect,
- 1:58:22Speaker 2: whether they are politicians or government people, and all of that,
- 1:58:25Speaker 2: they suddenly find themselves, by whatever means, in the corridors
- 1:58:29Speaker 2: of power because they have not been trained. The Bible
- 1:58:32Speaker 2: says in Daniel one and verse eight, it says, and
- 1:58:35Speaker 2: Daniel posts in his heart that he would not defile
- 1:58:39Speaker 2: himself with the portion of the king's meat. He purposed
- 1:58:44Speaker 2: a determination. Your will can play role that in the
- 1:58:48Speaker 2: name of Jesus, as I get to this office, I
- 1:58:51Speaker 2: will not caught corners. I will not bribe, I will
- 1:58:54Speaker 2: not give or take bribe. This is how I will
- 1:58:56Speaker 2: show favor. I will help people, but this is how
- 1:58:59Speaker 2: I will run my life. You can pos in your heart.
- 1:59:05Speaker 2: I give you a disclaimer. Integrity has a serious consequence
- 1:59:10Speaker 2: because we live in a big, deviled world. So if
- 1:59:12Speaker 2: you are planning to be a person of integrity, get
- 1:59:15Speaker 2: ready to go through the persecutions that follow people of
- 1:59:20Speaker 2: integrity and character. You will be termed a fool by
- 1:59:23Speaker 2: many people. They will call you names and say you
- 1:59:26Speaker 2: and your children would die of hunger. You don't know
- 1:59:29Speaker 2: how this thing works. You would have manipulated your way,
- 1:59:32Speaker 2: and a billionaire I will suddenly evolve out of thin air.
- 1:59:35Speaker 2: But can I tell you? The Bible says mark the wicked,
- 1:59:38Speaker 2: their end is destruction. That is why you find out
- 1:59:42Speaker 2: many people who look and steal money, with all due respect,
- 1:59:46Speaker 2: they get to a point where you find out their
- 1:59:48Speaker 2: children cannot even right so become anything great. And the
- 1:59:51Speaker 2: children don't know what kind of causes on them. Did
- 1:59:54Speaker 2: your Bible not say the cause of the Lord is
- 1:59:57Speaker 2: in the house of the wicked. But by all means,
- 2:00:02Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, God is not just looking for good preachers.
- 2:00:06Speaker 2: He's looking for men who will accend the heights of
- 2:00:09Speaker 2: influence and relevance. Because one on one evangelism will not
- 2:00:14Speaker 2: get the job done. Thank God for one on one evangelism.
- 2:00:18Speaker 2: But while leaving today in a sociological context where it's
- 2:00:21Speaker 2: not even safe to stand and do one on one
- 2:00:23Speaker 2: with anybody again, because you can corner somebody one on
- 2:00:26Speaker 2: one and the person who bring out a knife and say,
- 2:00:28Speaker 2: before you preach, drop your money and your fall. I've
- 2:00:31Speaker 2: been looking for somebody that I will still from. Thank
- 2:00:33Speaker 2: you for making yourself available. And so we must be
- 2:00:36Speaker 2: wise as serpents and gentle as doves. Jesus already told
- 2:00:42Speaker 2: us that we are sheep in the midst of wolves.
- 2:00:45Speaker 2: Are we together? Someone can blackmail you and say while
- 2:00:50Speaker 2: you are preaching, the person can say you are an umbrober.
- 2:00:52Speaker 2: You don't know whether the person just came out of
- 2:00:53Speaker 2: a forest, and then you are the first evangelist the
- 2:00:56Speaker 2: person met and you are trying to preach, whereas the
- 2:00:59Speaker 2: memory of his being not one week ago. He can
- 2:01:01Speaker 2: just shout and call you FCC or call the police,
- 2:01:05Speaker 2: and if God does not help, you're in trouble. So
- 2:01:07Speaker 2: we most reinvent wise the strategies. I'm not saying one
- 2:01:11Speaker 2: on one is bad, but I'm saying that we must
- 2:01:13Speaker 2: invent more effective kingdom strategies of witnessing to people. And
- 2:01:19Speaker 2: one of such as proposed by scripture is influence. Kingdom
- 2:01:25Speaker 2: advance is at the messy of a healthy blend of
- 2:01:28Speaker 2: evangelism and influence. Evangelism and influence, evangelism and influence. Isn't
- 2:01:34Speaker 2: it incredible that I'm standing from this point, ladies and gentlemen,
- 2:01:38Speaker 2: and I'm talking literally to tens of thousands of people,
- 2:01:41Speaker 2: potentially millions of people across the globe from one point.
- 2:01:47Speaker 2: That is the power of influence thanks to technology. Don't
- 2:01:51Speaker 2: reject influence. It is not just a tool to feel good.
- 2:01:55Speaker 2: There is an assignment. Influence is a tool. There are
- 2:01:59Speaker 2: many people who will love Jesus because the what you
- 2:02:01Speaker 2: love in Jesus. There are many people who be responsible
- 2:02:05Speaker 2: because the wat you being responsible. There are many people
- 2:02:08Speaker 2: who be frugal because they watch your model frugality. There
- 2:02:12Speaker 2: are many people who be men and women of integrity
- 2:02:15Speaker 2: because they see it manifest in your life. I'm praying
- 2:02:18Speaker 2: for someone here on account of your desire to see
- 2:02:21Speaker 2: Jesus glorified. May God elevate you to any platform required
- 2:02:26Speaker 2: for you to save him well in the name of
- 2:02:28Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. If you need to be a CEO to
- 2:02:33Speaker 2: representing me, that grace rest on you. If you need
- 2:02:38Speaker 2: to be given an appointment with some international organization so
- 2:02:43Speaker 2: that you will be a model to nations that there
- 2:02:45Speaker 2: are men who can serve God. Well, I'm crying onto
- 2:02:48Speaker 2: my God that in the name of Jesus, may you
- 2:02:51Speaker 2: begin to put you in strategic positions from the horizon
- 2:03:00Speaker 2: love the sun to the setting of the same. Your
- 2:03:07Speaker 2: name is listen now right. The key to influence is results.
- 2:03:20Speaker 2: The key to genuine Bible influence is results. Ladies and gentlemen.
- 2:03:27Speaker 2: I hate to be a bearer of bad news, but
- 2:03:29Speaker 2: I announ so you painfully, so that no body will
- 2:03:32Speaker 2: follow a man who does not have results. No body
- 2:03:36Speaker 2: will follow an institution that does not have results. No
- 2:03:39Speaker 2: body will be loyal to a nation, a people, a
- 2:03:43Speaker 2: person and organization that does not have results. Results here
- 2:03:48Speaker 2: represent solutions, solutions that better people, solutions. You can imagine
- 2:03:54Speaker 2: some of the influencers in the world from a technological standpoint.
- 2:03:57Speaker 2: Some of you have never seen some of the giants,
- 2:04:00Speaker 2: the tech giants. You've never met with them one on one,
- 2:04:03Speaker 2: and yet people dress like them, talk like them, bear
- 2:04:06Speaker 2: their names. How many people today will fight to own
- 2:04:10Speaker 2: the jerseys of certain footballers use jerseys that's the power
- 2:04:16Speaker 2: of influence. Are we together? Because you see, the human
- 2:04:24Speaker 2: spirit was so designed. I've taught you to find fulfillment
- 2:04:28Speaker 2: when you make progress, and when you see people who
- 2:04:31Speaker 2: model what you desire to become. It's usually a beautiful
- 2:04:35Speaker 2: sight to behold. And chances are excellent that you will
- 2:04:38Speaker 2: want to practice anything you think they are doing. To
- 2:04:41Speaker 2: have gotten to that position, influence results. Our generation is
- 2:04:47Speaker 2: so vulnerable to influence. This is why God must raise
- 2:04:51Speaker 2: models that represent the counsel of God holistically. Let's show
- 2:04:56Speaker 2: the world what it means to be intelligent, blessed, humble,
- 2:05:00Speaker 2: and yet loving the Lord with all our hearts. And
- 2:05:02Speaker 2: let me tell you, when your heart is right, God
- 2:05:05Speaker 2: will take the limits of your life and elevate you.
- 2:05:08Speaker 2: You've heard me say it, and I will repeat it
- 2:05:09Speaker 2: again that the Lord told me many years ago that
- 2:05:13Speaker 2: if you seem if you let men see me, there
- 2:05:16Speaker 2: is nothing I will not give you. Allelujah. The question
- 2:05:21Speaker 2: I have for you is that if the whole world
- 2:05:23Speaker 2: were to model your lives after you, will the world
- 2:05:26Speaker 2: become a better place or a terrible place. If the
- 2:05:30Speaker 2: whole world were given a divine instruction by God that
- 2:05:34Speaker 2: between now and the end of the year December. Everybody
- 2:05:38Speaker 2: on Earth, from Europe to America, Asia, Antarctica, across the continents.
- 2:05:45Speaker 2: You are the God's recommended model. And everybody young and old,
- 2:05:51Speaker 2: educated or educated, diplomats, academicians, intellectuals, family people. They are
- 2:05:57Speaker 2: mandated by God to model all you for six months.
- 2:06:02Speaker 2: Will it solve the problem in the world or will
- 2:06:05Speaker 2: it add to the problem in the world. Make reference
- 2:06:10Speaker 2: to my teaching redefining inheritance, and then the teaching wors sakes.
- 2:06:14Speaker 2: Now there I teach on the concept of fulfillment and
- 2:06:17Speaker 2: progress and impact. And one of the things I taught
- 2:06:20Speaker 2: as an inheritance is a good name. At the end
- 2:06:25Speaker 2: of your life. Your name can be a key or
- 2:06:28Speaker 2: a padlock. I repeat, at the end of your life
- 2:06:32Speaker 2: to your children and to all those who look up
- 2:06:34Speaker 2: to you. Your name can be a key that opens
- 2:06:38Speaker 2: closed doors, or your name can be a padlock. The
- 2:06:41Speaker 2: truth about it is whether you look at it politically
- 2:06:44Speaker 2: or spiritually or generally. There are people today. If you
- 2:06:48Speaker 2: mention their names, their names represent hope. When you mention
- 2:06:52Speaker 2: people like Nelson Mandela, when you mention people like Mahatma Gandhi,
- 2:06:56Speaker 2: these are people who their names exemplify hope. People can
- 2:07:02Speaker 2: cry literally at the mention of your name because they
- 2:07:05Speaker 2: are inspired by what they live for. There are other
- 2:07:09Speaker 2: names like Satan. When you mentioned am I right on that?
- 2:07:13Speaker 2: At least let me mention the worst Satan. Imagine someone
- 2:07:20Speaker 2: calling you that name and then he says, I'm joking.
- 2:07:25Speaker 2: You will still be angry. Am I right on that?
- 2:07:29Speaker 2: Why is it a spelling? Very beautiful spelling. But there
- 2:07:33Speaker 2: is a terrible history behind that name? Is it S
- 2:07:36Speaker 2: that is wrong? Or A that is wrong? Or T
- 2:07:39Speaker 2: that is wrong? These are letters in an alphabet that
- 2:07:42Speaker 2: were called I'm the letters of an alphabet, but that
- 2:07:45Speaker 2: there is a history behind that name. I'm praying for
- 2:07:48Speaker 2: you that if there is anything connected to your name
- 2:07:51Speaker 2: today that are the mention of will will represent pongenousy
- 2:07:55Speaker 2: and make people say, over my dead body made the
- 2:07:58Speaker 2: messy of God. You raise it today? I say to
- 2:08:01Speaker 2: get made the messy of God? Erase it today. There
- 2:08:07Speaker 2: are families today where individuals connected to those families have
- 2:08:11Speaker 2: had to change the surnames, in fact, change the entire names.
- 2:08:15Speaker 2: Do you know why? Because if they dare mentioned that
- 2:08:18Speaker 2: name in certain quoteras and certain circles, it can change
- 2:08:22Speaker 2: their destiny indefinitely. Influence ladies and gentlemen. Influence is beyond
- 2:08:34Speaker 2: social media, even though social media plays a great role
- 2:08:38Speaker 2: because of the generation administers too. But I can tell
- 2:08:41Speaker 2: you this, the greatest way to market anything is the truth.
- 2:08:47Speaker 2: You have no fear if what you are advocating and
- 2:08:50Speaker 2: communicating is the truth. The limitation with the social media space,
- 2:08:54Speaker 2: with all due respect, is that it has provided an
- 2:08:58Speaker 2: advantage for growth, for increase, for enlightenment, but it has
- 2:09:03Speaker 2: come with a terrible side effect that sells falsehood. Falsehood
- 2:09:08Speaker 2: is literally a product, and many keep buying it. One
- 2:09:13Speaker 2: of the major products being sold out and is being
- 2:09:17Speaker 2: consumed by people is falsehood. You can spend your entire
- 2:09:22Speaker 2: life creating the narrative of a lie, or living in
- 2:09:25Speaker 2: a lie, selling a lie, being deceived yourself and deceiving others.
- 2:09:31Speaker 2: That is the one demerit unfortunate thing about the ill
- 2:09:36Speaker 2: use of the social media space. It is a very
- 2:09:39Speaker 2: profitable platform. It has changed the world, redefined civilization, but
- 2:09:44Speaker 2: it is only most profitable if these ills this side
- 2:09:48Speaker 2: effect can be managed. Coinonia is not only a place
- 2:09:55Speaker 2: of power and grace, miracles, science and wonders. We have
- 2:09:59Speaker 2: a manday to also raise people of influence. And I'm
- 2:10:02Speaker 2: telling you you do not know the joy in my
- 2:10:04Speaker 2: heart when I hear that God is giving people jobs,
- 2:10:07Speaker 2: giving people promotions, elevating them. For me, as a man
- 2:10:11Speaker 2: of God, I don't just beat my chest and say, wow,
- 2:10:13Speaker 2: my people are rising. No, no, no, no no. My
- 2:10:15Speaker 2: joy is that vision that God has given Genesis seventeen six,
- 2:10:19Speaker 2: that it is coming to pass, and I'm praying for you.
- 2:10:21Speaker 2: I would never stop even now I'm saying it again.
- 2:10:25Speaker 2: Any position you need to rise to, whether in sports,
- 2:10:28Speaker 2: whether in media space, whether as a man of God,
- 2:10:32Speaker 2: whatever kind of results your life needs to produce to
- 2:10:35Speaker 2: give you an elevated platform. Mey, my God, who is
- 2:10:39Speaker 2: also your God, lift you and keep you there. And
- 2:10:43Speaker 2: hear me for some of you who are already lifted
- 2:10:46Speaker 2: there any power that wants to bring you down. In
- 2:10:49Speaker 2: the name of Jesus, I call upon the God of Heaven,
- 2:10:53Speaker 2: may here rise and tear down any altar that wants
- 2:10:56Speaker 2: to bring you down. I say it again, Men, by God,
- 2:11:00Speaker 2: rise and tear down any altar. A chopraktosata any man
- 2:11:05Speaker 2: who has been elevated by God, and any conspiracy by
- 2:11:10Speaker 2: charms or hexy spells or enchantments that said this man,
- 2:11:15Speaker 2: this woman must die, this person was faul this sprilic
- 2:11:18Speaker 2: was fault, This politician must fall. I declae and declare.
- 2:11:22Speaker 2: Those altars are scattered right now, Allelujah. There are forces
- 2:11:32Speaker 2: looking for men of God to bring them down. You
- 2:11:35Speaker 2: know why not because of the man of God. Because
- 2:11:38Speaker 2: if such a great man goes down, the millions of
- 2:11:41Speaker 2: people who believe in the person who also go down.
- 2:11:44Speaker 2: There are many business men who many people eat because
- 2:11:48Speaker 2: of their business. And you see the strategiest this. When
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: Satan sees that you are in an elevated position where
- 2:11:54Speaker 2: your life matters to the well being of many people,
- 2:11:57Speaker 2: you become his principle source of attack. He will use
- 2:12:01Speaker 2: anything human, systemic, demonic, spiritual discouragement. Danielle was elevated in Babylon,
- 2:12:10Speaker 2: and because of his position, he was protecting not only
- 2:12:14Speaker 2: the interests of God. I'm not advocating fanatism. Listen to me.
- 2:12:18Speaker 2: The Christianity that I preach does not profit Christians, the
- 2:12:22Speaker 2: presentity that I profit all men. I don't advocate a
- 2:12:25Speaker 2: Christianity that downplace other religions. You will never hear me
- 2:12:30Speaker 2: do that. Jesus came and he fed five thousand men.
- 2:12:33Speaker 2: The Bible does not tell us that everybody there was
- 2:12:36Speaker 2: a believer. I will never advocate the Christianity that is
- 2:12:40Speaker 2: built on blind fanatism. Please hear me. If you're a
- 2:12:43Speaker 2: politician here, or you are anyone in an elevated position,
- 2:12:47Speaker 2: God did not put you there to favor Christians alone.
- 2:12:50Speaker 2: God put you there to favor all men. The Bible says,
- 2:12:53Speaker 2: be good to all men. Albeity says especially there that
- 2:12:57Speaker 2: out of the household of faith, let the Gospel and
- 2:13:01Speaker 2: the Kingdom prophit from your life. But not from a
- 2:13:04Speaker 2: standpoint of blind fanatism. There are many people today who
- 2:13:08Speaker 2: are being wrongly mentored, and they've got to positions of authority,
- 2:13:12Speaker 2: and the only people they saw were Christians, and they
- 2:13:15Speaker 2: left other people or the non Christians hungry. No, if
- 2:13:19Speaker 2: you are putting a position, you are there. Of course,
- 2:13:23Speaker 2: everybody will serve to reflect what they believe. But let
- 2:13:26Speaker 2: me tell you sincerely, we are called to selve old men.
- 2:13:29Speaker 2: When God grands us the privilege to do the things
- 2:13:32Speaker 2: that we do to prisons, bore holes and the rest,
- 2:13:35Speaker 2: we don't do it in consideration to whether who is
- 2:13:37Speaker 2: a Christian or not, He sends the rein to the
- 2:13:40Speaker 2: godly and young godly. There are privileges society must enjoy
- 2:13:44Speaker 2: by reason of you being a child of God. Are
- 2:13:47Speaker 2: we together? I have to say this because when you
- 2:13:52Speaker 2: are raising people of influence, influences a delicate product. You
- 2:13:57Speaker 2: can use it to mislead people. I say again, I
- 2:14:00Speaker 2: will never advocated Christianity that throws down other people. There
- 2:14:05Speaker 2: are non Christians watching me right now, watching from various places.
- 2:14:10Speaker 2: And as much as we are people who are motivated
- 2:14:13Speaker 2: by our love for Jesus vocally, so honors shamedly. So
- 2:14:18Speaker 2: we have a responsibility of translating the kingdom life to
- 2:14:22Speaker 2: a context that better society. If a butcher is better
- 2:14:25Speaker 2: because of corinonia, we are serving God properly. If only
- 2:14:29Speaker 2: Christians are better in a bucher, we are not serving
- 2:14:32Speaker 2: God properly. You believe that when a road is built,
- 2:14:44Speaker 2: it's not only Christians that will pass it. Am I
- 2:14:46Speaker 2: right on that when healthcare becomes a thing worthy of emulation,
- 2:14:51Speaker 2: it's not only Christian patients that will be attended to.
- 2:14:54Speaker 2: How many people are operated upon, they pray before they
- 2:14:57Speaker 2: go to the hospital. Yet it's a non Christian. Probably
- 2:15:00Speaker 2: sometimes someone who is not even does not believe in anything,
- 2:15:04Speaker 2: but that's the person who performs the surgery, and you
- 2:15:06Speaker 2: submit your body to that person. This is responsible Christianity
- 2:15:14Speaker 2: that you are learning. So please hear me. If you
- 2:15:16Speaker 2: have any practice in your place of power that that
- 2:15:20Speaker 2: victimizes a certain sect of people intentionally, that is not
- 2:15:25Speaker 2: God's that is not the advocacy of the Christian faith.
- 2:15:29Speaker 2: All should enjoy the benevolence. All should enjoy you being there.
- 2:15:34Speaker 2: I'm saying this because weomen of God with all due respect.
- 2:15:37Speaker 2: We need to be careful to not put pressure on
- 2:15:40Speaker 2: the people of influence that God has brought under our care.
- 2:15:44Speaker 2: Leave them to serve with integrity and dignity. We can correct,
- 2:15:48Speaker 2: we can advise, but never put anybody under the palm
- 2:15:51Speaker 2: of your hand under the guise of spiritual leadership. We
- 2:15:54Speaker 2: must allow God's people to serve. When they go wrong,
- 2:15:57Speaker 2: we correct them in love. Are we together and we
- 2:16:01Speaker 2: advocate a Christian context that makes the entire society profit.
- 2:16:06Speaker 2: This is what Jesus taught. That's what it means to
- 2:16:09Speaker 2: be the salt of the earth, the light of the world.
- 2:16:14Speaker 2: Please be seated. Let me give you the last point,
- 2:16:18Speaker 2: and then we'll finish greater works. Part two. I believe
- 2:16:29Speaker 2: in influence. I advocate influence. God is raising strategic people
- 2:16:35Speaker 2: and giving them these mantles and these graces and elevating them.
- 2:16:40Speaker 2: There are tools that help an individual to become a
- 2:16:42Speaker 2: person of influence. Excellence, the fortitude to do your work
- 2:16:47Speaker 2: or to surpass ordinary standards. Are we together now? I
- 2:16:51Speaker 2: will not give a job to a Christian who is
- 2:16:53Speaker 2: lazy and will caught corners in the name of Jesus
- 2:16:56Speaker 2: and will not do a great job. No, if I
- 2:16:59Speaker 2: have a project and someone comes, if you're a Christian,
- 2:17:02Speaker 2: you can secure my sympathy in all fairness, and I
- 2:17:06Speaker 2: will do it without I wouldn't do it without any
- 2:17:09Speaker 2: hiding or whatever. But then you must show me the
- 2:17:12Speaker 2: excellence you are bringing to the table. Considering you will
- 2:17:15Speaker 2: only become an added advantage when I have seen that
- 2:17:18Speaker 2: your excellence will be worth the while. Let's not advocate
- 2:17:22Speaker 2: blind fanatism that keeps destroying our continent and our nation.
- 2:17:26Speaker 2: There are many people who have destroyed the lives of
- 2:17:29Speaker 2: others in the name of Jesus. Bad roads, in the
- 2:17:32Speaker 2: name of Jesus, bad buildings, in the name of Jesus.
- 2:17:37Speaker 2: And yet there are people who are competent and just
- 2:17:39Speaker 2: because of biases of faith. When you hear me speak
- 2:17:43Speaker 2: like this, I don't speak of myself. It is the
- 2:17:45Speaker 2: spirit of God speaking through me. Allelujah. The Church should
- 2:17:52Speaker 2: profit from every believer that God elevates. But in profiting
- 2:17:58Speaker 2: we must not forget the fact that God sends us
- 2:18:02Speaker 2: to minister to all men, and that influence is enhanced
- 2:18:07Speaker 2: by a life of excellence. Excellence. If you are giving
- 2:18:11Speaker 2: a job, do it well with integrity. Doo start eating
- 2:18:15Speaker 2: the money before the contract is on. No, be disciplined.
- 2:18:18Speaker 2: Do the job well. The profit will come. And when
- 2:18:21Speaker 2: you see, excellence has a way of recycling opportunities to
- 2:18:25Speaker 2: your life. Again, there is nobody who lives what works.
- 2:18:29Speaker 2: When you are excellent and you deliver as a man
- 2:18:32Speaker 2: of God, God grants you grace. People will invite you
- 2:18:35Speaker 2: for a conference. Do your homework. Don't stand there and
- 2:18:38Speaker 2: just go and make noise, and then pray that you
- 2:18:40Speaker 2: are invited again. No, you pray what you study, do
- 2:18:44Speaker 2: your homework, speak to the people with excellence. You will
- 2:18:47Speaker 2: go back there again. As a banker, do your work well.
- 2:18:50Speaker 2: A businessman, do your work well, you run a shop
- 2:18:53Speaker 2: and a mall. You wake up by eleven o'clock and
- 2:18:55Speaker 2: close by three o'clock, and your excuse is that I'm
- 2:18:58Speaker 2: running to church. I love you sincerely, but that approach
- 2:19:02Speaker 2: is a loser's approach. You can employ people, and that
- 2:19:06Speaker 2: includes other people who may not be there, so that
- 2:19:08Speaker 2: while you are in church, your products are still running
- 2:19:11Speaker 2: and you are blessing people. Listen, I told you that
- 2:19:14Speaker 2: the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is not just
- 2:19:16Speaker 2: a spiritual platform. It's also an institution where people are
- 2:19:20Speaker 2: reoriented afresh. In fact, it is the cheapest institution on
- 2:19:26Speaker 2: earth because you do not need to write jamp to
- 2:19:29Speaker 2: come to church. Age, range does not matter, quarter of
- 2:19:32Speaker 2: regions does not matter. You find your way from your
- 2:19:35Speaker 2: home and come and sit down, and after two three
- 2:19:37Speaker 2: hours you leave a radically transformed version of you. The
- 2:19:42Speaker 2: cheapest institution known to man as far as advocating change,
- 2:19:46Speaker 2: transformation and greatness is concerned. Let me give my last point.
- 2:19:50Speaker 2: Looks like I'm giving a speech. We're still in church.
- 2:19:55Speaker 2: This is going on here, This is not a un conference.
- 2:20:00Speaker 2: Allelujah the Last Force. And then we find somewhere to pray.
- 2:20:05Speaker 2: Have you been blessed the force of the prophetic greater works,
- 2:20:11Speaker 2: the last force that I would give you that is
- 2:20:13Speaker 2: responsible for manifesting greater works. And I'm going to be
- 2:20:18Speaker 2: speaking over your life shortly and in the name of Jesus,
- 2:20:21Speaker 2: these grace will work for you, the force of the prophetic.
- 2:20:26Speaker 2: Exodus seventeen from verse eight. The prophetic, as designed by
- 2:20:31Speaker 2: God has been a major tool that has shifted changed
- 2:20:39Speaker 2: the climates, the spiritual climate of territories. Men have come
- 2:20:44Speaker 2: to bow to the lordship of Jesus all through scripture,
- 2:20:47Speaker 2: courtesee the prophetic. Every time people derail, every time in
- 2:20:52Speaker 2: society and in territory plunges to any kind of decadence.
- 2:20:56Speaker 2: It is very usual of God, and it's a strategy
- 2:20:59Speaker 2: to raise a prophetic voice. And I'll explain to you
- 2:21:02Speaker 2: what I mean by prophetic, because for us believe us today.
- 2:21:06Speaker 2: Let me say that upfront, the prophetic is not just
- 2:21:09Speaker 2: limited to the office of a prophet. There are three
- 2:21:12Speaker 2: dimensions of the prophetic, and I'll show you as we
- 2:21:15Speaker 2: wrap up. But let's read Exodus seventeen from verse eight.
- 2:21:18Speaker 2: Watch this then came Amelek and fought with Israel at Refidum,
- 2:21:25Speaker 2: we're reading down to fifteen. The Bible says, and Moses said,
- 2:21:29Speaker 2: onto Joshua, choose us out, men, and go out fight
- 2:21:34Speaker 2: with Amelek. Tomorrow. I will stand on the top of
- 2:21:37Speaker 2: the heel with the rod of God in my hand.
- 2:21:40Speaker 2: Watch this. Now they are going to battle, and Moses
- 2:21:43Speaker 2: is saying, I will not be there fighting, but I
- 2:21:46Speaker 2: have a role to play in the victory of Israel.
- 2:21:49Speaker 2: Are we together? And Moses said to Joshua verse ten.
- 2:21:52Speaker 2: Now let's go to verse ten. So Joshua did as
- 2:21:55Speaker 2: Moses had said to him and fought with Amlek and Mose.
- 2:22:00Speaker 2: Watch this, Aaron and all three men they went to
- 2:22:04Speaker 2: the top of the hill. You would think that a
- 2:22:06Speaker 2: serious battle were happening. Moses should come and join and fight,
- 2:22:11Speaker 2: but Moses said, no, My role in establishing these victory
- 2:22:14Speaker 2: is not to fight physically. I have a prophetic role.
- 2:22:17Speaker 2: Watch this now verse eleven. And it came to pass
- 2:22:22Speaker 2: when Moses held up his hand that Israel prevailed. Look
- 2:22:27Speaker 2: at this, and when he let down his hand, Amelek prevailed.
- 2:22:33Speaker 2: What then was the excellency of the training. Warriors are
- 2:22:37Speaker 2: fighting and the victory does not depend on the dexterity
- 2:22:41Speaker 2: of your swords or their skill in battle. That someone
- 2:22:44Speaker 2: is fighting, who is not even looking at Moses. And
- 2:22:47Speaker 2: yet a man is standing and the position of his
- 2:22:50Speaker 2: hand is literally defining the destiny of a nation. Twelve.
- 2:22:59Speaker 2: But moses Is hands became heavy. Can you imagine that
- 2:23:05Speaker 2: that is trouble for Israel. Moses's hand, the prophetic became heavy,
- 2:23:11Speaker 2: the prophetic became downplayed. And the Bible says, and they
- 2:23:16Speaker 2: took a stone. Now watch this. You would think, because
- 2:23:19Speaker 2: Moses was tired, it would be logical for Aaron or Joshua,
- 2:23:24Speaker 2: Aaron and huw to say, all right, Moses, go and rest.
- 2:23:27Speaker 2: If it's all about the rod, will hold it. But
- 2:23:30Speaker 2: the Bible says, no, it was not just about the rod.
- 2:23:32Speaker 2: It was about the man. Away. Together they took a
- 2:23:37Speaker 2: stone and put it under him, and he sat. They
- 2:23:40Speaker 2: invented whatever skill on that God to keep that hand lifted,
- 2:23:45Speaker 2: because they understood that in the midst of swords, in
- 2:23:49Speaker 2: the midst of skill, in the midst of courage, the
- 2:23:52Speaker 2: prophetic still has a role to play in bringing the
- 2:23:55Speaker 2: victory of a people, the Bible says, and Aaron and
- 2:23:59Speaker 2: Horst taded up his hand and one on one side
- 2:24:03Speaker 2: and the other on the other side. And his hands
- 2:24:06Speaker 2: were steady until the going down of the sun. That's
- 2:24:10Speaker 2: how long the battle lasted. And for as long as
- 2:24:13Speaker 2: his hand was lifted, victory was clear. Thirteen And Joshua
- 2:24:19Speaker 2: discomfited a Malek and his people with the edge of
- 2:24:22Speaker 2: the sword. Now this looks like a mystery. Now why
- 2:24:26Speaker 2: are you telling us about Joshua and the sword again?
- 2:24:29Speaker 2: But the secret behind the scene was a man's hand,
- 2:24:32Speaker 2: a prophet's hand ordained by God for the victory of
- 2:24:36Speaker 2: the people. Fourteen, Let's finish up. And the Lord said
- 2:24:39Speaker 2: on to Moses, he said, write this. When God says
- 2:24:42Speaker 2: to write something, it means he's a pattern. Are we together?
- 2:24:46Speaker 2: When God says, right, you see the same thing in revelations. Right,
- 2:24:50Speaker 2: every time God tells men to write, he's saying there
- 2:24:53Speaker 2: is a spiritual pattern. Right, this for a memorial in
- 2:24:59Speaker 2: a book, and rehears it in the ears of Joshua.
- 2:25:03Speaker 2: For I will utterly put out the remembrance of the
- 2:25:06Speaker 2: Amelek from under heaven. Final verse fifteen. And Moses butt
- 2:25:11Speaker 2: and altar there and named it after that experience, as
- 2:25:16Speaker 2: Jehovah Nissi Jehovah Nissi. That name came out of an
- 2:25:23Speaker 2: experience that your skill in partnership with the prophetic is
- 2:25:28Speaker 2: what produces greater works. Listen to me, ladies and gentlemen,
- 2:25:32Speaker 2: you have been taught the value of the prophetic. Here,
- 2:25:35Speaker 2: for the sake of our discussion tonight, very quickly, let
- 2:25:38Speaker 2: me give you three levels. Today I wrote here all
- 2:25:42Speaker 2: believers can enjoy the blessings of the Prophetic. Today, all
- 2:25:48Speaker 2: believers can enjoy the blessings of the Prophetic through these
- 2:25:53Speaker 2: three channels. All believers can enjoy the blessings of the
- 2:25:57Speaker 2: Prophetic through these three channels. One the Word of God.
- 2:26:03Speaker 2: The Word of God affords all believers the opportunity to
- 2:26:07Speaker 2: enjoy the prophetic second Peter one nineteen. Second Peter one nineteen.
- 2:26:12Speaker 2: The first channel by which all believers can enjoy the
- 2:26:16Speaker 2: ministry of the Prophetic for their profiting. It's called the
- 2:26:19Speaker 2: World of God. It says, we have also a more
- 2:26:23Speaker 2: show word of prophecy. So it calls scripture the Word
- 2:26:28Speaker 2: of God, a more shore word of prophecy. That means,
- 2:26:32Speaker 2: if you never have the opportunity to meet any prophet
- 2:26:35Speaker 2: one on one as it where you are still not
- 2:26:38Speaker 2: disadvantage as it were. If you have access to the
- 2:26:41Speaker 2: world that the Word of God is able to meet wife,
- 2:26:44Speaker 2: you're accessing the blessing of the prophetic. Number two, The
- 2:26:50Speaker 2: second basis for enjoying the ministry of the prophetic for
- 2:26:55Speaker 2: the believer today is the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
- 2:26:58Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit has been even to all believers without reservation,
- 2:27:02Speaker 2: and his ministry affords you an opportunity to enjoy the
- 2:27:07Speaker 2: prophetic John sixteen thirteen. Is God speaking to someone? John
- 2:27:12Speaker 2: sixteen thirteen? How be it when he the spirit of
- 2:27:16Speaker 2: truth is come? The Bible says he will guide you
- 2:27:19Speaker 2: into all truth? Are you seeing his prophetic assignment there?
- 2:27:23Speaker 2: He shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear,
- 2:27:27Speaker 2: that shall he speak I like the last sentence, And
- 2:27:31Speaker 2: he will show you things to come. So, if you
- 2:27:35Speaker 2: do not have the privilege of hearing Joshua Salman prophesied
- 2:27:38Speaker 2: or speak to you, you have no fear, because greater
- 2:27:41Speaker 2: than Joshua Salman is in you, and with you are
- 2:27:44Speaker 2: we together. Now it's good to receive of the prophetic ministry,
- 2:27:48Speaker 2: but you must be careful so that you do not
- 2:27:51Speaker 2: get into the idolatry of worshiping the prophetic above the
- 2:27:55Speaker 2: world of God and above the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
- 2:27:59Speaker 2: Every man of God that operates in the prophetic correctly
- 2:28:03Speaker 2: is empowered by the Spirit of God who lives in you.
- 2:28:06Speaker 2: So the Bible says that he can show you things
- 2:28:09Speaker 2: to come. It is an advantage when you have a
- 2:28:11Speaker 2: vessel that can bring guidance and direction, reprove correction, instruction,
- 2:28:17Speaker 2: and help you exhortation, like the Bible says, but that
- 2:28:21Speaker 2: you are not at a disadvantage as it were, if
- 2:28:24Speaker 2: you do not have a physical personality that represents the prophetic.
- 2:28:29Speaker 2: The ministry of the Holy Spirit can become that breach
- 2:28:32Speaker 2: and help you to know things to come. The Bible
- 2:28:35Speaker 2: says in First Corinthians to unvesten First Corinthians to unvesten
- 2:28:41Speaker 2: the ministry of the Holy Spirit as a channel for
- 2:28:44Speaker 2: expressing the prophetic. But God had revealed them to us
- 2:28:49Speaker 2: the revelatorc dimension of the prophetic does not just happen
- 2:28:53Speaker 2: because of a vessel. It happens also because of the
- 2:28:57Speaker 2: Holy Spirit, it says, for the Spirit can such all things.
- 2:29:01Speaker 2: There is no prophet that can touch all things of God.
- 2:29:04Speaker 2: Because the Bible says in first Cori Internstatin, it says,
- 2:29:07Speaker 2: we see impart and we profess high in part. So
- 2:29:10Speaker 2: the most accurate of any prophet on earth is still limited.
- 2:29:14Speaker 2: Are we together now? But the Holy Spirit has the
- 2:29:16Speaker 2: unique ability to such all things, even the deep things
- 2:29:21Speaker 2: of God. Part of those old things are the matters
- 2:29:24Speaker 2: that relate to your destiny, the matters that relate to
- 2:29:26Speaker 2: your ministry, the matters that relate to your family, And
- 2:29:30Speaker 2: that when you pay respect to the prophetic minister of
- 2:29:33Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit, you can receive and outsource that prophetic
- 2:29:37Speaker 2: advantage could see the Holy Spirit. And then finally, the third,
- 2:29:42Speaker 2: which is the most common channel for expressing the prophetic,
- 2:29:46Speaker 2: is true. The ministry gifts that we call the prophetic.
- 2:29:51Speaker 2: And by prophetic here it does not just mean prophetic office.
- 2:29:54Speaker 2: It just means everyone who, either by call or by alignment,
- 2:29:59Speaker 2: has come to a position where they are able to
- 2:30:01Speaker 2: communicate the counsel of God. There are prophets who are
- 2:30:05Speaker 2: called of God into that ministry, but there are believers
- 2:30:08Speaker 2: who have stayed with God and evolved into dimensions where
- 2:30:12Speaker 2: they are prophetic has been so sharpened you will think
- 2:30:16Speaker 2: they are prophets. But they are not prophets. The prophetic
- 2:30:19Speaker 2: is a privilege of every believer, the same way everybody
- 2:30:22Speaker 2: can cook. You have access to the kitchen. But there
- 2:30:25Speaker 2: are people called chefs. Am I right on that? Yes,
- 2:30:28Speaker 2: those people are specialized. If you want to cook for
- 2:30:31Speaker 2: kings and the rest, they are the people to call.
- 2:30:34Speaker 2: But that does not mean everybody has the privilege of
- 2:30:37Speaker 2: a kitchen and to cook there. This is how it is.
- 2:30:42Speaker 2: There are people called into the office of the prophetic
- 2:30:45Speaker 2: according to ephicients. For eleven and twelve he gave on
- 2:30:48Speaker 2: to some apostles. He gave on to some prophets, some evangelists,
- 2:30:54Speaker 2: some pastors and teachers. Toward end twelve, for the equipping,
- 2:30:59Speaker 2: perfecting mind sharing of the saints, for the work of
- 2:31:03Speaker 2: the ministry, and for the defying of the body of Christ.
- 2:31:07Speaker 2: That pain to the points that we come into the
- 2:31:09Speaker 2: unity of faith, of the knowledge of the Son of God,
- 2:31:13Speaker 2: onto a perfect man, onto the measure of the stature
- 2:31:17Speaker 2: of the fullness of Christ. But notice for a certainty
- 2:31:23Speaker 2: that if you ignore the prophetic, either the prophetic that
- 2:31:27Speaker 2: comes from scripture, the prophetic that comes from the inspiration
- 2:31:30Speaker 2: and the guidance of the Spirit, or the prophetic that
- 2:31:34Speaker 2: comes from the voices that God has placed over you.
- 2:31:37Speaker 2: You will never be able to command greater works. Jesus,
- 2:31:43Speaker 2: the first dimension of the prophetic at work in his
- 2:31:47Speaker 2: life was the very fact that he was the Word incarnate.
- 2:31:51Speaker 2: He was the Word himself. Yet from age twelve he
- 2:31:56Speaker 2: went to the temple to learn scripture, to find out
- 2:31:59Speaker 2: the things that were written concerning him to lend the
- 2:32:02Speaker 2: law number two. The Bible tells us that Jesus himself
- 2:32:08Speaker 2: the Holy Ghost came upon him. Are we together? After
- 2:32:11Speaker 2: he was being baptized of a man, he prophet again
- 2:32:14Speaker 2: called John, and then the Holy Ghost came upon him.
- 2:32:18Speaker 2: He went to the wilderness, and so on and so forth,
- 2:32:21Speaker 2: and all through John only met him once and did
- 2:32:24Speaker 2: not meet him again until he died, as recorded in scripture.
- 2:32:28Speaker 2: But the Holy Spirit remained with Jesus until the time
- 2:32:32Speaker 2: that he was about to perform the substitutionally sacrifice, where
- 2:32:38Speaker 2: he had to leave him so that he would become sin.
- 2:32:41Speaker 2: That's why the same spirit that came back on the
- 2:32:43Speaker 2: third day and raised Christ from the dead, meaning he
- 2:32:47Speaker 2: was not in him. Jesus would never have died with
- 2:32:50Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit in him. When the Bible says he
- 2:32:53Speaker 2: gave up the ghost. He was not just talking about
- 2:32:56Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit left Jesus right from Gate Samone. He
- 2:33:00Speaker 2: was not on the cross. He left Jesus right from
- 2:33:03Speaker 2: gate semony. That was the cry he was crying, Let
- 2:33:06Speaker 2: this cop pass over me. He was not the cop
- 2:33:09Speaker 2: of death. He already announced he was going to die
- 2:33:11Speaker 2: for the first time, the triune Godhead would be separated.
- 2:33:19Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen. The prophetic place a powerful role when
- 2:33:24Speaker 2: it is done within the boundary of scripture in preparing
- 2:33:28Speaker 2: men and equipping them for a great life. I'm saying
- 2:33:32Speaker 2: that because in a few minutes, I'm about to speak
- 2:33:34Speaker 2: over your life. I always used to see our father
- 2:33:37Speaker 2: and in the Lord, Bishop David Audepo and her father
- 2:33:39Speaker 2: and the Lord, you know, the fathers. Generally, there were
- 2:33:43Speaker 2: people who were really given to prophetic declarations. They would
- 2:33:47Speaker 2: declare for hours, they will make a statement, and the
- 2:33:50Speaker 2: next thing declare, you will hear father and the Lord
- 2:33:52Speaker 2: Babah at the boy. He would stand and just make declarations,
- 2:33:56Speaker 2: sometimes in the silence of his voice, and make these declarations.
- 2:33:59Speaker 2: And you know, the earlier in my life and the ministry,
- 2:34:02Speaker 2: I always wondered why almost every statement they made their
- 2:34:06Speaker 2: most make a declaration, then continue, then make a declaration,
- 2:34:09Speaker 2: then continue. And I said, wow, this is interesting. I
- 2:34:13Speaker 2: got to find out that this prophetic you see is
- 2:34:18Speaker 2: like a layer of possibilities that you release upon people
- 2:34:22Speaker 2: and it becomes literally it's like simulating a spiritual cloud
- 2:34:26Speaker 2: before you, and you shout, Amen, sincerely, are we together? Yes,
- 2:34:32Speaker 2: those men, I tell you, sincerely, we're not noisemakers. They
- 2:34:35Speaker 2: still are not. There are people who have a covenant
- 2:34:38Speaker 2: with God. They will make one declaration with understanding, and
- 2:34:42Speaker 2: you will see those open. Because the Lord performed, you
- 2:34:46Speaker 2: confirmed the words of his servants, and performed the counsel
- 2:34:51Speaker 2: of his messengers. The spirit of God and possibilities in
- 2:34:55Speaker 2: the kingdom are at the messy of speakings. In Isaiah
- 2:34:59Speaker 2: is a seven. You know the story from verse one
- 2:35:02Speaker 2: down to ten. When you read Ezekiel was in the
- 2:35:05Speaker 2: valley that was full of bones. Out of the many
- 2:35:08Speaker 2: activities that would have happened there, I thought, Ezekiel will
- 2:35:12Speaker 2: be giving the manday to go and look for the
- 2:35:13Speaker 2: bones and gather them together like wood. But he said, no,
- 2:35:17Speaker 2: you don't need to do that. You are a prophet.
- 2:35:19Speaker 2: I will tell you what to say. That means every
- 2:35:22Speaker 2: prophet must be told what to say. Just because you're
- 2:35:25Speaker 2: a prophet does not mean you speak carelessly. We profess
- 2:35:28Speaker 2: high as we are commanded. That is why you will
- 2:35:33Speaker 2: see results. Can I tell you when you speak out
- 2:35:36Speaker 2: of the flesh, God is not obliged to back up
- 2:35:39Speaker 2: anything He did not instruct. One secret to embarrassment is
- 2:35:43Speaker 2: ignoring God. While you are ministering, you will say many
- 2:35:46Speaker 2: things that will not come to pass, and somebody will
- 2:35:50Speaker 2: be putting the track record together. One day they will
- 2:35:52Speaker 2: show you like a report card. You said this, it
- 2:35:55Speaker 2: did not happen. You said this one it did not happen.
- 2:35:57Speaker 2: With these few points of mind, I would never listen
- 2:36:00Speaker 2: to you again. While we are prophesying and people have
- 2:36:04Speaker 2: brought shame and reproach to themselves because we're under pressure
- 2:36:07Speaker 2: to say what God is not saying. You call somebody
- 2:36:10Speaker 2: out of pressure you are john He said no, no, no,
- 2:36:12Speaker 2: I'm victim. You have three children, I'm not even married,
- 2:36:15Speaker 2: and make a fool out of yourself. Of course, if
- 2:36:18Speaker 2: you are learning, save Johnny, fail your way to accuracy,
- 2:36:21Speaker 2: but make sure that there is sincerity in your heart.
- 2:36:26Speaker 2: We are being commanded to bless and this will do
- 2:36:29Speaker 2: with authority, because there is a grace that defends the speakings.
- 2:36:34Speaker 2: Any time God sends a man, he sends for the grace.
- 2:36:38Speaker 2: That is the reason why you hear prophetic declarations. And
- 2:36:42Speaker 2: you see with God gives witness. At chapter four and
- 2:36:45Speaker 2: the starty three, the Bible says, and with great power
- 2:36:50Speaker 2: gave the apostles weakness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus,
- 2:36:54Speaker 2: and great grace was upon them all, great grace. It
- 2:36:59Speaker 2: takes power to give weakness. Allelujah, ladies and gentlemen. If
- 2:37:06Speaker 2: you desire to manifest greater works, the greater works that
- 2:37:10Speaker 2: Jesus said you would do, translating to the salvation of
- 2:37:14Speaker 2: men and nations, translating to the transformation of men and nations,
- 2:37:19Speaker 2: bringing many people to experience the life of God, indeed,
- 2:37:24Speaker 2: bringing healings to nations, bringing prosperity to nations, shaping cultures,
- 2:37:29Speaker 2: creating a civilization that is pro Christ, pro kingdom, pro development,
- 2:37:35Speaker 2: pro advancement. Then you need to subscribe to all of
- 2:37:39Speaker 2: these forces. My assignment is to reveal them to you
- 2:37:43Speaker 2: and then impat upon you by the spirit the great
- 2:37:47Speaker 2: requirement to work in these things. I conclude my teaching
- 2:37:51Speaker 2: today by revealing to you a very profound scripture. It says,
- 2:37:55Speaker 2: now that ye know these things, happy are you if
- 2:37:59Speaker 2: you do them? The knowers are not the ones who
- 2:38:04Speaker 2: have results. It is the dus. Now that you know
- 2:38:08Speaker 2: these things, it says, happy are you if you do them?
- 2:38:12Speaker 2: There are many people who will know. Oh tell them,
- 2:38:15Speaker 2: tell them, I know these things. And yet it never
- 2:38:18Speaker 2: never works in their lives because they heard the world
- 2:38:22Speaker 2: just like we did, and the world did not profit them,
- 2:38:26Speaker 2: not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
- 2:38:29Speaker 2: In the parable of the sower and the seed, the
- 2:38:32Speaker 2: Bible tells us that the soils are the hard conditions
- 2:38:35Speaker 2: of men, that they that produce good seed, that produce
- 2:38:41Speaker 2: from the good soil, are those who heard the world
- 2:38:44Speaker 2: and understood it. They put it to practice, and it
- 2:38:47Speaker 2: brought for three dimensions of results thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
- 2:38:54Speaker 2: I don't know about you what my destiny spect at
- 2:38:56Speaker 2: pursuing that hundredful dimension, that I will evol to the
- 2:39:00Speaker 2: highest version of myself as He grants me the grace
- 2:39:03Speaker 2: to serve the nations. This is my proposal to everybody.
- 2:39:07Speaker 2: God is counting on you. Joshua Salmon alone cannot get
- 2:39:11Speaker 2: the assignment done. It is flattery to believe that Joshua
- 2:39:15Speaker 2: Salmon alone would make that happen. Now, our assignment is
- 2:39:20Speaker 2: to prepare a vast army. After the order of Gideon
- 2:39:24Speaker 2: blowing that chauffeur and tatty three thousand people came ready
- 2:39:28Speaker 2: to fight, but they were not prepared. And he said,
- 2:39:32Speaker 2: all those who are fearful and cannot are not ready
- 2:39:35Speaker 2: to go. Return back. And over ten or twenty thousand
- 2:39:38Speaker 2: people return, and he said, God said there are still
- 2:39:42Speaker 2: too much. As much as I need a crowd, I
- 2:39:44Speaker 2: need serious people. Second test, he said, if you know
- 2:39:48Speaker 2: you are afraid of return back to your house. A
- 2:39:52Speaker 2: few people still returned, and then they got to the river,
- 2:39:56Speaker 2: and he said, watch their approach. Those who lap and
- 2:40:00Speaker 2: take it like dogs. I always wondered what that meant.
- 2:40:03Speaker 2: He said, those who bow down and take it like men.
- 2:40:06Speaker 2: Drop them. You know why, because a dog will never
- 2:40:09Speaker 2: settle down to it, It is always ready to move.
- 2:40:12Speaker 2: That means those who see plenty and abundance are not
- 2:40:16Speaker 2: distracted by that result. They are still in a position
- 2:40:19Speaker 2: of continuity. Pick them. Those who settle by lying down
- 2:40:23Speaker 2: to take it. In other words, the journey is no
- 2:40:25Speaker 2: longer important. I have found abundance, it said, send them
- 2:40:28Speaker 2: back home. And with that test, three hundred men emerged,
- 2:40:33Speaker 2: and that became the army that Gideon used and brought
- 2:40:37Speaker 2: a revival against the Median Kites. Ladies and gentlemen. If
- 2:40:41Speaker 2: God is counting on me, then I obtain grace to
- 2:40:44Speaker 2: not fail him. If God is counting on you, counting
- 2:40:48Speaker 2: on your business, your family, you're understanding your influence, then
- 2:40:53Speaker 2: make sure that you do not fail him. I have
- 2:40:55Speaker 2: shared with you at least five or six spiritual force.
- 2:41:01Speaker 2: We're going to pray all these forces, and then I
- 2:41:04Speaker 2: make a declaration over your life and we're done. Please
- 2:41:07Speaker 2: rise upon your feet in one minute. I like you
- 2:41:11Speaker 2: to mention as many of the forces that you recall
- 2:41:13Speaker 2: and pray them into your life. Very simple but profound prayer.
- 2:41:17Speaker 2: As you prepare to receive the prophetic declaration. Go ahead,
- 2:41:21Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus, the Son of the Living God.
- 2:41:23Speaker 2: Someone is praying, Go ahead and pray as I announce
- 2:41:27Speaker 2: again the force of prayer in the name of Jesus,
- 2:41:32Speaker 2: the force of wisdom. Go ahead and pray it in
- 2:41:34Speaker 2: your life, the force of faith. Number three, the force
- 2:41:38Speaker 2: of wealth and abundance, the force of influence, and finally,
- 2:41:43Speaker 2: number six, the prophetic as a potent force that empowers
- 2:41:49Speaker 2: the saints to manifest greater works. Someone is praying in
- 2:41:53Speaker 2: the name of Jesus, my life begins to become a
- 2:42:00Speaker 2: revelation of the glory, the power, the grace of God
- 2:42:04Speaker 2: at a higher dimension. I have experienced God before, I
- 2:42:08Speaker 2: have revealed this grace before. But Lord empower me. Go
- 2:42:12Speaker 2: ahead and pray great work, So God, Salvation to the nations,
- 2:42:19Speaker 2: healing to the nations. You're a man of God, pray.
- 2:42:22Speaker 2: You're a businessman, pray, politician, pray, academician, captain of industry.
- 2:42:29Speaker 2: All who are watching Saraha, pray in the name that
- 2:42:33Speaker 2: is above all names. I obtain grace. I obtain grace.
- 2:42:39Speaker 2: I obtain grace in Jesus' name. We pray. Now. I
- 2:42:46Speaker 2: decree and declare, by the power that raised Christ from
- 2:42:49Speaker 2: the dead, I activate every virgin dimension in your life
- 2:42:55Speaker 2: that is required for you to rise and do greater works.
- 2:42:59Speaker 2: Receive that grace now in the name of Jesus. Let
- 2:43:05Speaker 2: the spirit of prayer and supplication like never before. Rest
- 2:43:10Speaker 2: upon your life. I am part upon you this moment
- 2:43:17Speaker 2: the spirit of wisdom. Receive it in the name of Jesus.
- 2:43:24Speaker 2: From today you begin to make extra ordinary decisions that
- 2:43:28Speaker 2: move your destiny forward. In the name of Jesus Christ,
- 2:43:35Speaker 2: I decree and declare God's savant Bishop, what good would say,
- 2:43:40Speaker 2: There is the spirit of faith, and he came to
- 2:43:42Speaker 2: a people in generation as a representation of the spirit
- 2:43:47Speaker 2: of faith that came from Papa Hegin and was impacted
- 2:43:52Speaker 2: upon him. I decreean and declare in the name of Jesus,
- 2:43:56Speaker 2: the faith that works, that moves mountains, made that grace
- 2:44:00Speaker 2: be imparted upon you now, and I pray for you.
- 2:44:09Speaker 2: I have taught you that there is a prophetic dimension
- 2:44:11Speaker 2: to wealth. Wealth answers to value, wealth answers to productivity,
- 2:44:17Speaker 2: wealth answers to relationships, wealth answers to a lot of things,
- 2:44:21Speaker 2: financial intelligence. However, we are not left without an advantage.
- 2:44:25Speaker 2: I decree and declare the kind of well that your
- 2:44:28Speaker 2: hand is here to handle. May my God, the giver
- 2:44:31Speaker 2: of all good things, surprise you with it in this
- 2:44:34Speaker 2: season number five, the force of influence for some of you.
- 2:44:44Speaker 2: By reason of this importation, nobody has known you now,
- 2:44:48Speaker 2: but between now and the end of the year, in
- 2:44:50Speaker 2: the name of Jesus, let the grace for visibility rest
- 2:44:54Speaker 2: upon you. Let the great for visibility rest upon you.
- 2:44:59Speaker 2: Make here about you. May nobles here about you, May
- 2:45:04Speaker 2: heads of government here about you. In the name of
- 2:45:08Speaker 2: Jesus Christ the grace that announces your gift, the grace
- 2:45:14Speaker 2: that announces your value, the grace that announces your contribution,
- 2:45:19Speaker 2: whether in business or in whatever area. I declae and
- 2:45:23Speaker 2: declare everyone who is seated in the position of authority
- 2:45:27Speaker 2: who needs to hear about you. May the Angel speak
- 2:45:30Speaker 2: to them about you. May God use men to speak
- 2:45:35Speaker 2: to them about you. Finally, in the name of Jesus,
- 2:45:42Speaker 2: by the privilege of the Apostolic and the Prophetic, every
- 2:45:46Speaker 2: door that has been closed over your life, stopping you
- 2:45:50Speaker 2: from making destiny advancement, shali kappa rakatosiata and break ketos kiata.
- 2:45:56Speaker 2: In this year of open doors, I command those does
- 2:46:00Speaker 2: be open. Now be open now. I pleas a prophetic
- 2:46:09Speaker 2: world on your head that everywhere you go, let it
- 2:46:13Speaker 2: compel men to favor you. Let it compel men to
- 2:46:18Speaker 2: favor you. Lemmy any long standing battle that you have
- 2:46:23Speaker 2: been fighting in the name of Jesus. As Moses lifted
- 2:46:27Speaker 2: his hands for victory. I stand as a privileged servant
- 2:46:31Speaker 2: of God, and I lift up my hands before Jehovah
- 2:46:34Speaker 2: and NISSI made that but to come to one, and
- 2:46:37Speaker 2: now made that, but to come to an end. Now
- 2:46:49Speaker 2: there are some of you who have not left this year.
- 2:46:52Speaker 2: You have watched others laught, but laughter has been far
- 2:46:55Speaker 2: from you. Is from one tragedy to another. Just when
- 2:46:58Speaker 2: you think you are lifting your another problem comes. I
- 2:47:01Speaker 2: say it again, the Bible says, and by a prophet,
- 2:47:05Speaker 2: the Lord God brought Israel out of Egypt, and by
- 2:47:08Speaker 2: a prophet they were preserved. I stand in the name
- 2:47:11Speaker 2: of Jesus, the one who calls an annoints man. I
- 2:47:14Speaker 2: place grace on your life. Rise above every challenge, Rise
- 2:47:19Speaker 2: above every limitation. Therefore, Canonia, I speak to you. Arise
- 2:47:26Speaker 2: and shine, Arise and shine, Arise and shy, Arise and
- 2:47:33Speaker 2: shine in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank you, Jesus.
- 2:47:40Speaker 2: Give Jesus a big hand club. It is done in
- 2:47:44Speaker 2: the name of Jesus Christ. Allelujah, give me an honor
- 2:47:50Speaker 2: of making an altar call right now, very quickly. Thank
- 2:47:53Speaker 2: you for your patience. You've been stretched today. My time
- 2:47:57Speaker 2: is fast spent, but I will still need to take
- 2:48:01Speaker 2: a minute or two from you to give somebody an
- 2:48:03Speaker 2: opportunity to make it right with Jesus. Remember, the foundation
- 2:48:08Speaker 2: for greater works is salvation. What Jesus could not do
- 2:48:11Speaker 2: before the cross, Now the new and the living way
- 2:48:14Speaker 2: has been opened, an opportunity for you to make it
- 2:48:17Speaker 2: right with Jesus. You are here and you are saying apostle.
- 2:48:20Speaker 2: Whilst hearing you preach, the Holy Spirit began to convict
- 2:48:23Speaker 2: me that today is the day and now is the hour.
- 2:48:27Speaker 2: Whether you are making a first time decision for Jesus
- 2:48:30Speaker 2: or you are rededicating your life. I have just one
- 2:48:33Speaker 2: minute for you. Very boldly leave your seat, carry your bags,
- 2:48:36Speaker 2: your bibles, whatever you came with. And I wanted to
- 2:48:39Speaker 2: gallantly walk to the front. Don't wait for someone to
- 2:48:42Speaker 2: be the first. Wherever you are. If you're coming from
- 2:48:45Speaker 2: the overflows, please come. Let's celebrate them as they come.
