0:00
Speaker 1: Correct, Please make welcome the only apostle Selman.
0:16
Speaker 2: Allelujah.
0:19
Speaker 1: Let's her bed the name of the Lord. Revends, I'm
0:23
Speaker 1: happy birthday to you. Amen, just here this morning to
0:34
Speaker 1: speak over our lives as we wrap up this session.
0:41
Speaker 1: But we salute you and we celebrate you at fifty,
0:44
Speaker 1: reverendsum and fifty is a very serious milestone, allelujah.
0:56
Speaker 2: Fifty years old.
0:58
Speaker 1: Anything is old enough, old enough to be wise, old
1:02
Speaker 1: enough to have lessons, old enough to lead, old enough
1:07
Speaker 1: to mentor. And we greatly salute your birthdays at times
1:12
Speaker 1: when on usual requests are granted. It was on a
1:16
Speaker 1: bird day that a prophets had went away, and so
1:22
Speaker 1: when you get to birddays, you maximize them powerfully, Allelujah.
1:29
Speaker 1: What an army could not do. A little girl on
1:32
Speaker 1: a bird day demanded for the head of a prophet
1:37
Speaker 1: that the Bible says was the greatest, and as hard
1:40
Speaker 1: as that request was, it was granted.
1:44
Speaker 2: Allelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
1:48
Speaker 1: And so allow me for a moment to just lead
1:52
Speaker 1: us into one prayer to maximize in the spirit of
1:57
Speaker 1: this prophetic atmosphere you have seen in the life of
2:01
Speaker 1: your pastor that you truly desire to be replicated in
2:06
Speaker 1: your life. May I request in one minute before the
2:09
Speaker 1: God of all flesh, can you cry and can you
2:12
Speaker 1: pray that prayer? The one thing for some is wisdom,
2:19
Speaker 1: for some is leadership. For some, like you said, it's
2:22
Speaker 1: loyalty to relationships. Some is diplomacy and intelligence. For some
2:29
Speaker 1: is influence. For some is understanding. For everyone that asked received.
2:35
Speaker 1: Someone is praying the one thing that you have seen
2:44
Speaker 1: in his life as your pastor, your father, a mentor
2:50
Speaker 1: to many, a leader. Some of you have seen access.
2:55
Speaker 1: You can receive it by faith. Some of you have
2:59
Speaker 1: seen favor. You can receive it by faith. Some of
3:03
Speaker 1: you have seen wisdom. You can receive it by faith.
3:07
Speaker 1: Some of you have seen consistency. You can receive it
3:11
Speaker 1: by faith. Some of you have seen leadership. This is
3:15
Speaker 1: why you came this morning. You can receive it by faith.
3:20
Speaker 1: Some of you have seen the grace to thrive through
3:24
Speaker 1: favorable and unfavorable situations. Some of you have seen faith
3:28
Speaker 1: and audacity. You can receive it by faith. One more minute.
3:33
Speaker 1: Someone is praying, desperately, praying passionately.
3:48
Speaker 2: In Jesus' mighty name. We pray.
3:53
Speaker 1: In Jesus' Mighty name, we pray please be seated on
3:59
Speaker 1: this final chart. This morning, I want to for very
4:03
Speaker 1: few minutes charge us and then speak of our lives
4:11
Speaker 1: on the power of importation. Importation is a very deep
4:16
Speaker 1: spiritual mystery that allows for graces and allows for possibilities
4:23
Speaker 1: to be transferred from carriers to those who desperately, genuinely
4:31
Speaker 1: desire it. It's one mystery that I've studied myself. I'm
4:38
Speaker 1: a rich beneficiary of this mystery. I have seen graces
4:43
Speaker 1: leave careers to those who desired them and change their
4:48
Speaker 1: lives radically. I have seen the benefits of importation. I
4:54
Speaker 1: have seen the consequences of ignoring importation.
4:59
Speaker 2: They God designed.
5:00
Speaker 1: The system in this kingdom is that no matter how
5:04
Speaker 1: yielded you are, no matter how yielded you are, there
5:10
Speaker 1: are dimensions of graces that will not come by digging
5:14
Speaker 1: the well yourself. It is a river that has been
5:18
Speaker 1: flowing before your arrival, and your job is to be
5:22
Speaker 1: able to find the direction of that river and to
5:26
Speaker 1: plunge into it with understanding. And those who have sustained
5:31
Speaker 1: the wisdom to understand the mystery of importation have received
5:36
Speaker 1: and accessed graces. Very ancient graces ancient mantles, and with
5:42
Speaker 1: them they have done much for the Kingdom.
5:46
Speaker 2: Inasmuch as God has helped us to know Him.
5:49
Speaker 1: In the measure, the possibilities that God has brought by
5:53
Speaker 1: grace today in our lives is largely are largely a
5:57
Speaker 1: product of importation.
6:00
Speaker 2: So impartation is simply.
6:02
Speaker 1: Defined as a spiritual system by which graces and possibilities
6:08
Speaker 1: are transferred. A spiritual system by which graces and possibilities
6:18
Speaker 1: are transferred. The way the economy of the Kingdom works
6:24
Speaker 1: is that when God calls a man, God calls.
6:29
Speaker 2: Men to himself. This is how it works.
6:32
Speaker 1: When God calls you, he calls you to himself to
6:36
Speaker 1: know Him, to be with him. In the process of
6:41
Speaker 1: that knowledge, and that encounter. A mandate is derived from
6:45
Speaker 1: your encounter. Please listen carefully. God does not call you
6:49
Speaker 1: for the primary purpose of giving you a mandate.
6:51
Speaker 2: That is already wrong. It is not consistent with how
6:54
Speaker 2: He works.
6:55
Speaker 1: He called the disciples to be with Him and then
6:59
Speaker 1: that He might send them. So your growth and your
7:03
Speaker 1: knowing God, your intimacy with God is greater to God
7:08
Speaker 1: than even your weakness, because it is from the strength
7:12
Speaker 1: of your knowing Him that you become an effective witness.
7:15
Speaker 1: Away together this morning, it's important for us to understand this.
7:19
Speaker 1: So here's how it works. You get into a point
7:23
Speaker 1: where God calls you and he calls you to himself.
7:28
Speaker 1: He calls you to know him, He calls you to.
7:31
Speaker 2: Learn of him.
7:33
Speaker 1: And then eventually, when you Readcollations four hundverse seventeen, it says,
7:39
Speaker 1: say onto occupas that the ministry that dou has received
7:46
Speaker 1: in the Lord, not from the Lord. You see that
7:50
Speaker 1: that you fulfill it. So you receive in the Lord.
7:53
Speaker 1: It is a derivative of your relationship. Whether you call
7:57
Speaker 1: it an apostolic ministry, whether you call it a prophetic
8:00
Speaker 1: ministry and evangelical ministry, whether you call it a market
8:04
Speaker 1: place ministry, it doesn't matter what form and fashion it comes.
8:09
Speaker 1: The most important thing is for you to understand that
8:12
Speaker 1: the way God works is that when he calls please
8:15
Speaker 1: listen carefully.
8:16
Speaker 2: You have to understand this.
8:18
Speaker 1: When He calls men, he calls them to himself.
8:22
Speaker 2: Are we together?
8:23
Speaker 1: Because like things was Passagerry yesterday who spoke about the roots.
8:29
Speaker 1: It is in his presence that you are able to
8:31
Speaker 1: dig into that depth in the spirit. When you know him,
8:36
Speaker 1: the confidence that comes from knowing him is what keeps
8:39
Speaker 1: you in the midst of the storm while you go.
8:41
Speaker 1: Are we together now? But then when He gives you
8:45
Speaker 1: the mandate, he never sends you with a message alone.
8:50
Speaker 1: He never sends you with an assignment alone.
8:53
Speaker 2: Are we together? Yes?
8:55
Speaker 1: At the point where God is sending men, he ensheds
9:00
Speaker 1: that they have access to the requisite power, the requisite empowerment,
9:07
Speaker 1: the requisite and gracing that will help them to fulfill
9:11
Speaker 1: that assignment.
9:12
Speaker 2: Not even Jesus escaped this pattern.
9:16
Speaker 1: Jesus was not always anointed Ahhh, he was always the word,
9:22
Speaker 1: the word incannate, but that anointing and that and gracing
9:26
Speaker 1: only came.
9:26
Speaker 2: At the point of his fulfilling his ministry.
9:30
Speaker 1: So the Bible tells us that he was filled the
9:32
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit Matthew chapter four, driven by the spirit of
9:36
Speaker 1: the wilderness to be tempted of the devil, and after
9:39
Speaker 1: forty days of prayer with fasting, Satan came and tempted
9:42
Speaker 1: him across various areas. And the Bible now tells us
9:46
Speaker 1: that when Satan departed, the angels came and ministered to him.
9:50
Speaker 1: And one of the synoptic accounts who say he returned
9:52
Speaker 1: in the power of the spirit. He returned in the power,
9:58
Speaker 1: not just full of the spirit. He returned in the
10:01
Speaker 1: power of the spirit. And from that time, hence Jesus
10:06
Speaker 1: began to manifest extraordinary exploits. If it was healing, he
10:11
Speaker 1: healed the sick, he raised the dead. He spoke with
10:15
Speaker 1: such intelligence and wisdom. And when you know, all of
10:19
Speaker 1: the scribes and the Pharisees brought many occasions to just
10:23
Speaker 1: trap him down. By the wisdom of the spirit, he
10:25
Speaker 1: was able to navigate his path. Now Jesus called the
10:30
Speaker 1: disciples using the same model. He called them to himself,
10:34
Speaker 1: from as fishermen, some as financial people. And he began
10:38
Speaker 1: to mentor them and to teach them. And then a
10:41
Speaker 1: time came when he told them, tarry ye in Jerusalem.
10:45
Speaker 1: You already have the message. But that is not enough,
10:49
Speaker 1: he says, until ye be and dude with power, and
10:54
Speaker 1: dude with power, and dude with power.
10:59
Speaker 2: Allelujah.
11:00
Speaker 1: When he called Mary and told Mary the angel now
11:04
Speaker 1: Gabriel saying, this is God's plan for you.
11:07
Speaker 2: You are highly favored.
11:08
Speaker 1: You shall have a child and a man who will
11:10
Speaker 1: not a mortal man, will not play any fatherly role.
11:13
Speaker 1: Yet you're going to be pregnant with child. Mary said,
11:16
Speaker 1: how shall these things be? Seeing that I know not
11:18
Speaker 1: a man, And he said, the Holy Ghost will come
11:22
Speaker 1: upon you. The power of the most I will overshadow you.
11:25
Speaker 1: You see that now that at every point in the
11:28
Speaker 1: believer's journey, empowerment and gracing will always play an active role.
11:35
Speaker 1: So the disciples in the upper room, after forty days
11:39
Speaker 1: of a post resurrection lecture by Jesus himself, ten more days,
11:45
Speaker 1: and the Holy.
11:45
Speaker 2: Ghost will come upon them.
11:47
Speaker 1: The Bible now says, in Acts Chapter two, hun verse one,
11:49
Speaker 1: it says, now, when the day of Pentecost was fully come,
11:53
Speaker 1: that they were together gathered in one accord.
11:56
Speaker 2: Suddenly, it says that.
12:00
Speaker 1: There came a sound from heaven, and he came and
12:03
Speaker 1: filled the room where they were sitting, And they saw
12:05
Speaker 1: cloven tongues like as aphire. It came and rested upon
12:09
Speaker 1: every one of them. They were filling the holygoes. They
12:12
Speaker 1: began to speak with tongues other tongues, as the spirit
12:16
Speaker 1: gave them utterance. Are we together now? Please, let's rise
12:21
Speaker 1: to honor a father. Let's thank you so much. Please
12:52
Speaker 1: be seated. Are we together?
12:55
Speaker 2: So?
12:55
Speaker 1: I said that when God calls the people. He calls
12:57
Speaker 1: you to himself to know him. Then he gives you
13:01
Speaker 1: a mandate. But with that mandate, at the point of
13:04
Speaker 1: executing it, please don't lose what you were saying.
13:08
Speaker 2: There must be need for empowerment.
13:11
Speaker 1: No empowered believer, no matter how knowledgeable, can be able
13:16
Speaker 1: to bath the purposes of God. In addition to the
13:19
Speaker 1: knowledge of the assignment, you will need empowerment. And he
13:23
Speaker 1: told the disciples tarry ye in Jerusalem.
13:27
Speaker 2: Until ye be empowered.
13:28
Speaker 1: At chapter two, the power of God came upon them,
13:32
Speaker 1: and the harvest from that empowerment was three thousand souls
13:36
Speaker 1: in one salmon.
13:38
Speaker 2: Three thousand souls.
13:40
Speaker 1: I do not find anything spectacular. Peter said on that
13:43
Speaker 1: day that he had not said before. But the difference
13:47
Speaker 1: was that he speaking was not just with the excellency
13:51
Speaker 1: of speech.
13:52
Speaker 2: It was now with the power of God. Allelujah.
13:56
Speaker 1: Three thousand souls and the exploits of the saints continue
14:00
Speaker 1: from that point onwards, very very important, and so it's
14:05
Speaker 1: important for believers to value the place of genuine, authentic
14:10
Speaker 1: spiritual empowerment. There is no man who can birth the
14:16
Speaker 1: purposes of the kingdom without genuine, consistent empowerment. They were
14:23
Speaker 1: filled with the Holy Goos in Acts chapter two. In
14:26
Speaker 1: Acts chapter four, they prayed and they were filled again,
14:29
Speaker 1: and the room shook allelujah. So when we're talking about
14:34
Speaker 1: flourishing and thriving, it is important for you to know
14:38
Speaker 1: that the role of empowerment.
14:40
Speaker 2: Cannot be taken away from your life.
14:43
Speaker 1: And this is not unique to ministry, as you call it,
14:46
Speaker 1: the fivefold ministry. It does not matter what end devil,
14:52
Speaker 1: whether it is business, whether it is it is career.
14:55
Speaker 1: The reason why you need empowerment is because number one,
15:00
Speaker 1: you cannot bath the purposes of God to his satisfaction
15:04
Speaker 1: in the strength of the flesh. Please listen, no matter
15:08
Speaker 1: how intelligent you are, no matter how smart you are,
15:12
Speaker 1: when God gives men mandate, he does not leave them
15:15
Speaker 1: to guess how to achieve it. There is a standard,
15:17
Speaker 1: there is an uncompromising reference away together now and until
15:23
Speaker 1: you walk His purposes to his standard and satisfaction, you
15:28
Speaker 1: are not accredited as being faithful.
15:30
Speaker 2: This is the reason why you need empowerment.
15:33
Speaker 1: If you were left to just your creativity, you might
15:36
Speaker 1: do so far.
15:37
Speaker 2: Men are limited.
15:39
Speaker 1: The best and the greatest without his assistance and help
15:43
Speaker 1: is still limited. It's why the Holy Spirit is called
15:45
Speaker 1: the helper away together. The assignment of help is number one,
15:51
Speaker 1: to make things possible and then to make things easy
15:54
Speaker 1: when you help a man.
15:55
Speaker 2: This is the goal.
15:56
Speaker 1: Behind helping, to make things possible that would not have
16:01
Speaker 1: been possible, and to make things easy. So the empowerment
16:05
Speaker 1: of the spirit comes on this wise, are we see together?
16:09
Speaker 2: Yes?
16:11
Speaker 1: And then the second reason why we need to be
16:13
Speaker 1: empowered is that the Bible is not silent as to
16:17
Speaker 1: the fact that we are not alone upon this earth.
16:20
Speaker 1: That there are demonical forces that have woven the agenda
16:25
Speaker 1: of darkness through the hearts of men and through systems
16:29
Speaker 1: and structures with a singular mandate to thwart the excelling
16:34
Speaker 1: of the saints and the purposes of the kingdom.
16:37
Speaker 2: You must have this at the back of your mind.
16:39
Speaker 1: No matter how advance, how civilized, how technological, we are,
16:43
Speaker 1: it will be foolish to ignore the fact that there
16:46
Speaker 1: are demon spirits and organized cada intelligently articulated by Paul Jesus.
16:53
Speaker 1: And Paul did not leave us in the dark as
16:56
Speaker 1: to the fact that we are not alone. That everyone
16:59
Speaker 1: who vows the vow of representing the purposes of the kingdom,
17:03
Speaker 1: you have drawn a line in the realm of the
17:05
Speaker 1: spirit for the rest of your life. He said, But say,
17:09
Speaker 1: unto God, how terrible are doubt in your ways? It says,
17:13
Speaker 1: through the greatness of Thy power, shall thy enemies submit
17:17
Speaker 1: themselves you. It takes more than a good heart to
17:21
Speaker 1: bet the purposes of God and survive. While you are
17:24
Speaker 1: doing it, you are thriving in a system that is
17:28
Speaker 1: determined to be Antichrist.
17:30
Speaker 2: Are we together now? Yes? Without empowerment, there are severe.
17:35
Speaker 1: Consequences for being righteous, severe consequences. You stand in the
17:41
Speaker 1: midst of a big devil world, and you want to
17:44
Speaker 1: represent the purposes of God. If you are not, empowerment
17:47
Speaker 1: comes as a defense to keep you and to maintain.
17:51
Speaker 1: So you are in an office, and you vow that
17:53
Speaker 1: you will not bribe, and you will not give or
17:56
Speaker 1: take bribe. If you are not empowered to prosper, there
17:59
Speaker 1: will be consequences for that position. The consequence will so
18:03
Speaker 1: min you. You will be a bad representation of God,
18:08
Speaker 1: even though you are righteous.
18:09
Speaker 2: Are we together? Lot was a.
18:13
Speaker 1: Righteous man, but he did not have the power to
18:15
Speaker 1: save his family. He was about to lose the dignity
18:19
Speaker 1: and the integrity of his daughters.
18:20
Speaker 2: Even though he was a righteous man.
18:22
Speaker 1: It took Abraham by intercession and by the ministry of
18:26
Speaker 1: angels to come and rescue him. History would have had
18:30
Speaker 1: a bad record that Abraham was a lot, was a
18:32
Speaker 1: bad father.
18:33
Speaker 2: The problem was not his righteousness.
18:35
Speaker 1: The problem was that he did not have the requisite
18:38
Speaker 1: level of empowerment.
18:43
Speaker 2: Are we together? You need empowerment to do business.
18:46
Speaker 1: There is the king of tire that sits upon the
18:49
Speaker 1: economic system of the earth and ve's meticulously who has
18:53
Speaker 1: access to the wealth resources.
18:55
Speaker 2: And if it is by.
18:56
Speaker 1: Dignity and righteousness, I tell you, the system will fight
18:59
Speaker 1: you if it has not fort you. Yes, it is coming.
19:02
Speaker 1: It's for Jesus. It's a Satan commet to me. Jesus
19:06
Speaker 1: is fasting and praying. And you would think that first
19:09
Speaker 1: thing and prayer would drive Satan. But it attracted Satan
19:12
Speaker 1: to him, and he was waiting patiently till he was done.
19:15
Speaker 1: The first person he song after firsting was Satan. There
19:21
Speaker 1: are things that draw spirits to you. Listen, let me
19:24
Speaker 1: tell you this. I'm doing a brief, you know, and
19:27
Speaker 1: then I have to step back for a father to
19:29
Speaker 1: come up. You see, there are spirits that are assigned
19:32
Speaker 1: to men by reason or being on the earth, whether
19:35
Speaker 1: you are saved or not. There are spirits assigned to
19:39
Speaker 1: believers by reason or being grafted into Christ. There are
19:43
Speaker 1: spirits assigned to ministries and offices. They are not assigned
19:48
Speaker 1: to you as an individual. They don't know you as
19:51
Speaker 1: an individual. They were mandated to stop the program that
19:55
Speaker 1: flows through offices. There are spirits assigned to mantles. That
20:00
Speaker 1: is the reason why before you carry certain mantles, you
20:03
Speaker 1: must have the stature to defend the attacks that.
20:05
Speaker 2: Come with that mantle. Are we together now?
20:09
Speaker 1: There are many prayers that don't seem to be answered.
20:12
Speaker 1: Is a sign of God's messy because you are being
20:15
Speaker 1: weighed and if should that blessing rest upon you? Now
20:20
Speaker 1: the stamina to receive certain things many believers will not have.
20:23
Speaker 1: That is the reason why most times when you pray,
20:27
Speaker 1: you see God will have to build capacity within you
20:32
Speaker 1: before you are trusted with certain things. Oh, I want
20:36
Speaker 1: to pass to a five ten thousand member church. All I
20:40
Speaker 1: need to do is just to understand the natural rediments
20:43
Speaker 1: of church growth. Every man who is coming. God does
20:47
Speaker 1: not send made men to men. He sends men who
20:51
Speaker 1: need to be made what's the kinds of people who
20:54
Speaker 1: came to David in the cave of Adulam, Men who
20:56
Speaker 1: are indebt, men who were distressed. That is the kind
20:59
Speaker 1: of members God sends to serious people. And by the
21:02
Speaker 1: time these people are coming with courses, and coming with spirits,
21:06
Speaker 1: and coming with yolks, coming with habits, some of them,
21:11
Speaker 1: those same spirits.
21:12
Speaker 2: Have torned their own destinies.
21:14
Speaker 1: And you stand without stature, and all you want to
21:17
Speaker 1: see is increase in size. No, the messy of God
21:20
Speaker 1: will withhold you from entering that blessing?
21:26
Speaker 2: Are we blessed?
21:30
Speaker 1: It is true I have seen demons in the spirit,
21:34
Speaker 1: but greater than that. The scripture tells us that the
21:37
Speaker 1: whole world lies in wickedness, not Nigeria alone. Run anywhere
21:41
Speaker 1: you can, you will find them there. There is an
21:43
Speaker 1: organized system. Demon spirits have mobility. They have the advantage
21:48
Speaker 1: of mobility. Did you hear what I said? No visus needed,
21:51
Speaker 1: no border checks needed. They can move from swine to men,
21:56
Speaker 1: from men to trees, from trees to desert regions. Anywhere
22:02
Speaker 1: at Paul can be a habitation for them. Now you
22:05
Speaker 1: want to be prepared for such a world away together,
22:10
Speaker 1: I told us yesterday beyond the rediments of productivity.
22:14
Speaker 2: The Bible says it shall be like a tree.
22:17
Speaker 1: When that tree is planted and has its root spread,
22:20
Speaker 1: under normal circumstances, it should produce.
22:23
Speaker 2: How about the tree in Mark eleven.
22:26
Speaker 1: It was planted to the root, everything was fine, It
22:30
Speaker 1: even had leaves. And although the Bible says it was
22:33
Speaker 1: not time of fix, Jesus expected figs.
22:36
Speaker 2: Do you know why?
22:37
Speaker 1: Because everything he talks to should obey him the same
22:40
Speaker 1: way the fish was not supposed to bring out coin.
22:43
Speaker 2: But because Jesus gave a mandate, that means.
22:45
Speaker 1: The presence of Jesus should create an effect that ordinary,
22:49
Speaker 1: it should alter the natural cause of the way things happen.
22:54
Speaker 1: So he costed for disobedience, not just for taking from
22:58
Speaker 1: the earth. I use saying my presence in the midst
23:02
Speaker 1: of this place has.
23:03
Speaker 2: No effect on you.
23:04
Speaker 1: When you spoke to the fish, have you ever seen
23:06
Speaker 1: a fish with coin from the day Jesus said it?
23:09
Speaker 2: No, because it's not the natural cause.
23:12
Speaker 1: But not when the Master speaks, he can turn anything
23:15
Speaker 1: to anything. And if he speaks to a tree, even
23:18
Speaker 1: if the tree were not connected to a root, the
23:20
Speaker 1: fact you see, Jesus does not just come and work
23:23
Speaker 1: with seasons. He has dominion over seasons. There is a
23:31
Speaker 1: lot of times and seasons. But when he comes, he
23:34
Speaker 1: has the ability to manipulate any season and make it
23:39
Speaker 1: work for you. So empowerment. You're a businessman here, you
23:43
Speaker 1: need empowerment. We have agreed through the sessions before now
23:49
Speaker 1: that the value of empowerment, And let me say this,
23:52
Speaker 1: the value of empowerment is when it comes.
23:55
Speaker 2: Upon a transformed mind.
23:58
Speaker 1: You see that now for men, many people, And the
24:00
Speaker 1: mistake we make many times in the body of Christ
24:03
Speaker 1: is because we have seen through experience, through the lives
24:07
Speaker 1: of great people, that when people are empowered, they immediately.
24:12
Speaker 2: Begin to work in the realm of exploits. But what
24:15
Speaker 2: people do not know.
24:16
Speaker 1: Is that the ratio of empowerment to transformation, based on
24:20
Speaker 1: Jesus's teaching model, was three and a half years to
24:23
Speaker 1: one day. Are we together that it took three and
24:27
Speaker 1: a half years of structured mentorship to build a certain
24:31
Speaker 1: belief and understanding in them, then they were empowered one night.
24:35
Speaker 1: Pursuing empowerment without transformation will make you lose the potency
24:41
Speaker 1: of what that empowerment should bring. The problem with the woman,
24:45
Speaker 1: remember we thought yesterday the woman who had the oil.
24:50
Speaker 1: The problem was not the oil. The oil could increase
24:53
Speaker 1: to any size as the vessel allowed. And so the
24:57
Speaker 1: prophet said, borrow not a few. You don't need to
25:00
Speaker 1: borrow oil, but borrow vessels expand your capacity. And the
25:04
Speaker 1: Bible says when there was no more vessel that the
25:07
Speaker 1: oil stayed. So it is important you understand the principles
25:13
Speaker 1: of leadership, branding, productivity, administration, and so on and so forth.
25:19
Speaker 1: And then from the strength from that advantage position in
25:24
Speaker 1: spite of the fact that you have understanding. Proverhabs Chapter
25:27
Speaker 1: three from five to seven, it says, in all your ways,
25:30
Speaker 1: acknowledge him.
25:31
Speaker 2: Ah, trusting a lot with all your heart. And it
25:33
Speaker 2: says to lean not.
25:35
Speaker 1: It acknowledges the fact that you have understanding, but it says,
25:38
Speaker 1: do not lean on your understanding. In other words, let
25:41
Speaker 1: that not be the basis of your confidence.
25:43
Speaker 2: For us.
25:44
Speaker 1: Sufficiency, the Bible says, is of Christ. So empowerment comes
25:49
Speaker 1: as an advantage to the believers.
25:51
Speaker 2: And let me tell you the truth.
25:53
Speaker 1: I have seen very gifted people, I have seen very
25:56
Speaker 1: skilled people, I have seen very great people. One thing
26:00
Speaker 1: missing in their lives is that they have not accessed
26:03
Speaker 1: genuine empowerment. In my opinion, there are two principal reasons
26:09
Speaker 1: why people do not receive empowerment. One is ignorance. Two
26:13
Speaker 1: is pride. One is ignorance, too is pride Allelujah one
26:24
Speaker 1: more point and then will pray. So it is God's
26:29
Speaker 1: desire that everyone accesses the empowerment and the engracing. That
26:34
Speaker 1: we're empowered to flourish, but more importantly serve the purposes
26:38
Speaker 1: of the Kingdom with our lives.
26:40
Speaker 2: There are three platforms.
26:41
Speaker 1: For accessing genuine spiritual power very quickly.
26:46
Speaker 2: Three platforms.
26:47
Speaker 1: Number one direct encounters with the Spirit of power. The
26:53
Speaker 1: saints can have direct encounters with the spirit of power
26:58
Speaker 1: my chart chapter three and verse eight. It says, surely
27:02
Speaker 1: I am full of the spirit, Please give it to
27:06
Speaker 1: us my cal three and verse eight. Not Malachi Marika
27:10
Speaker 1: chapter three and verse eight.
27:15
Speaker 2: Truly or surely.
27:16
Speaker 1: I am full of power by the spirit of the Lord.
27:20
Speaker 1: I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord.
27:24
Speaker 1: You can have it direct encounter. The Bible says God
27:28
Speaker 1: has not given us second Timothy. That should be one seven.
27:31
Speaker 1: God has not given us the spirit of fear, but
27:34
Speaker 1: the spirit of love, the spirit of power and the
27:38
Speaker 1: spirit of a sound mind. There is a dimension of
27:41
Speaker 1: the operation of the Holy Spirit in the life of
27:44
Speaker 1: the saints, where he is revealed as.
27:47
Speaker 2: The Spirit of power.
27:51
Speaker 1: The spirit of power capacity to perform any divine task
27:56
Speaker 1: to expectation. That's power, capacity to perform any divine task
28:03
Speaker 1: to God's expectation. It would be unfair for God to
28:08
Speaker 1: have such high expectation and not empower you. As many
28:11
Speaker 1: as believed on him, he gave them power.
28:17
Speaker 2: Number two. I wish I had time.
28:22
Speaker 1: I would have spoken a lot more about the Spirit
28:25
Speaker 1: of power, but have to break down so that we
28:27
Speaker 1: allow our Father come and speak and bless our hearts.
28:30
Speaker 2: But let me say this.
28:32
Speaker 1: In my lead to work with God, and we're just
28:35
Speaker 1: starting this journey, I can tell you the greatest determinant
28:40
Speaker 1: to encounters with God is not prayer and fasting.
28:43
Speaker 2: It is the condition of your heart.
28:46
Speaker 1: The condition of your heart vitos your prayer and fasting.
28:49
Speaker 1: You can pray and first beginning from a corrupted heart
28:53
Speaker 1: away together. Now, the Bible spoke about Amasiah that he
28:57
Speaker 1: did that which was right in the height of the Lord,
29:00
Speaker 1: but not with a perfect heart. So the problem was
29:03
Speaker 1: not the correctness of the activity.
29:06
Speaker 2: It was the state the motivation.
29:08
Speaker 1: The greatest determinant for genuine encounters.
29:14
Speaker 2: Is the purity of a man's heart.
29:18
Speaker 1: Your heart condition, pray and fasting, and all the spiritual activities.
29:22
Speaker 2: Are enhance us.
29:24
Speaker 1: But the foundation, sincerely, I tell you, is the state
29:28
Speaker 1: of your heart.
29:33
Speaker 2: No wonder the Psalmon said, such my heart, and.
29:36
Speaker 1: Try my thoughts, and if there is any wicked way
29:38
Speaker 1: in me, it says, to lead me to the way
29:40
Speaker 1: of a lasting away together. Number two, very quickly, what
29:44
Speaker 1: is the second platform for accessing power?
29:48
Speaker 2: The power of God.
29:49
Speaker 1: Genuine spiritual empowerment is accessed through the understanding of the world.
29:55
Speaker 1: Light from scripture, not the verses of scripture. Light from scripture,
30:01
Speaker 1: Light from scripture, A thorough understanding of the word Haba
30:07
Speaker 1: Cook Chapter three, from verse three and four amplified very
30:10
Speaker 1: profound scripture. The Bible says, God came down from Teman
30:16
Speaker 1: and the Holy One from Mount Haran. Can you give
30:18
Speaker 1: it to us media very quickly, Haback Cook, chapter three,
30:26
Speaker 1: three and four. If we can see that in amplified okay,
30:30
Speaker 1: he says God approaching from Sinai, he comes from Teman
30:33
Speaker 1: or Edom and the Holy One from Mount Paran.
30:37
Speaker 2: And then let's go to verse four very quickly.
30:39
Speaker 1: The Bible says, his brightness is like the sunlight, and
30:44
Speaker 1: he has bright rays.
30:45
Speaker 2: From his hand. And there in that sound like.
30:49
Speaker 1: Splendor is the hiding place of his power. The power
30:54
Speaker 1: of God hides in his light. Every time his light
30:58
Speaker 1: comes to you. Behind that light is the empowerment of
31:02
Speaker 1: the spirit. I've shared with you a vision I had
31:05
Speaker 1: many years ago where I saw a very giant door
31:09
Speaker 1: and it was made up of small like post office boxes,
31:11
Speaker 1: and they were scriptures inscribed on every one of them.
31:14
Speaker 1: It was opening and closing, and every time it opened,
31:18
Speaker 1: light came out from it. And I didn't understand what
31:21
Speaker 1: I was seeing until the Spirit of God minister to
31:23
Speaker 1: me that behind scripture, the revelation of scripture is not
31:28
Speaker 1: the verse you are reading, but the light that comes out.
31:31
Speaker 1: So the Bible says, Paul praying ephiesients one to have
31:35
Speaker 1: the spirit of revelation in the knowledge. So knowledge is
31:39
Speaker 1: like a container. There is revelation inside it.
31:43
Speaker 2: You see that.
31:44
Speaker 1: Now, if you do not open up, you need knowledge
31:47
Speaker 1: to have revelation. But if it just stops as revelation,
31:50
Speaker 1: you do not have light. If it is true light,
31:53
Speaker 1: it lights every man. That was the true lights. There
31:56
Speaker 1: are false lights. They carry a zemblance of power, but
32:00
Speaker 1: you bring them in the face of real life situations,
32:02
Speaker 1: and they're important. But it says that was the true light.
32:06
Speaker 1: And if it is light, it is for every man
32:11
Speaker 1: empowerment by the word, empowerment by light that comes from
32:17
Speaker 1: Scripture Acts twenty thirty two. And now, brethren, I commend
32:21
Speaker 1: you to God and to the world of his grace,
32:23
Speaker 1: which is able to build you up, it says, and
32:26
Speaker 1: to give you an inheritance, even among them that are
32:30
Speaker 1: sanctified efficients for eighteen having their understanding darkened, been alienated
32:36
Speaker 1: from the life of God through the ignorance that is
32:39
Speaker 1: in them, because of the blindness of their hearts. Allelujah,
32:48
Speaker 1: light Light. You stay with the word, you study the Word.
32:53
Speaker 1: You allow the illuminating power of.
32:56
Speaker 2: The world to soarch through your spirit.
32:58
Speaker 1: And out of that the recide of the world, genuine power, authority.
33:04
Speaker 2: Your mind has been altered to think in.
33:06
Speaker 1: A certain way, the way of victory, the way of excellence.
33:10
Speaker 2: The Lord is my light and my salvation.
33:13
Speaker 1: Away together Now that when men say there is a
33:15
Speaker 1: casting down in the name of Jesus. For you, there
33:17
Speaker 1: is a lifting up. This is not mayor blind confession.
33:21
Speaker 1: Meditation has opened the light component of that scripture, and
33:25
Speaker 1: it is resident in your spirit. I tell you, show
33:28
Speaker 1: me a man that respects light. I show you a
33:30
Speaker 1: man the devil cannot do anything about. Is only a
33:33
Speaker 1: matter of time light John one five, and the light
33:38
Speaker 1: shining in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended. It not
33:44
Speaker 1: the last platform for accessing genuine empowerment.
33:50
Speaker 2: It's called impartition. Power that is accessed.
33:55
Speaker 1: Through alignment with anointed vessels.
34:00
Speaker 2: Power that is accessed. Now, please listen as I wrap up.
34:04
Speaker 1: Power that is accessed through your alignment with anointed vessels.
34:17
Speaker 1: In Philippians, chapter one and verse seven, Paul was speaking
34:20
Speaker 1: to the Church and Philippi, and he wraps up that
34:23
Speaker 1: statement by saying, ye all are partakers of my grace,
34:28
Speaker 1: partakers of my grace.
34:30
Speaker 2: A man can be a partaker of the grace of
34:34
Speaker 2: another person. And the way God does it is this.
34:38
Speaker 1: When God wants the people to experience a dimension of
34:41
Speaker 1: his empowerment, he does.
34:43
Speaker 2: Not start with a crowd. No, he starts with a man.
34:47
Speaker 1: When he finds that man, he enters a covenant with
34:50
Speaker 1: that man. That covenant becomes a platform for transmuting that
34:54
Speaker 1: dimension of power or that possibility, not everything, but the
34:58
Speaker 1: dimension he seeks to to the nations. And when God
35:03
Speaker 1: accredits that man, no body will access that dimension of power,
35:07
Speaker 1: ignoring the presence of that covenant.
35:09
Speaker 2: This is how God works.
35:11
Speaker 1: So when he sends a word to Jacob, the intent
35:14
Speaker 1: is that it is lightened upon all Israel. Jacob only
35:18
Speaker 1: becomes a startain point of that journey. So he calls Abraham,
35:22
Speaker 1: but the intention is the entire glow are we together?
35:25
Speaker 1: You ignore Abraham, you will not even reach Jesus. He
35:29
Speaker 1: spoke to Abraham and said, in thee shall all the
35:32
Speaker 1: families of the earth be blessed. And Paul told us
35:35
Speaker 1: that that blessing was to Abraham and his seed, the
35:39
Speaker 1: seed not being Isaac. Isaac could not replicate it to
35:42
Speaker 1: all of us, the seed being Christ. Then Galicians three
35:46
Speaker 1: twenty nine says, and if ye be Christ's, then I
35:49
Speaker 1: ye Abraham's seed and heirs. According to the promise, So
35:53
Speaker 1: when God finds a man a conduit to transmut his prosperity,
36:00
Speaker 1: a conduit to transmit his healing, he enters a covenant
36:03
Speaker 1: with that man. That man becomes his referral point across
36:08
Speaker 1: that dispensation. No matter how arrogant you are, you ignore
36:12
Speaker 1: the presence of that man. You pray and fast, and
36:15
Speaker 1: there are certain dimensions of that grace you will never touch.
36:18
Speaker 2: It is his economy, that is how it works.
36:21
Speaker 1: There are men on earth today that embodies certain possibilities
36:25
Speaker 1: of the Kingdom. When God wants to show you messy,
36:28
Speaker 1: he does not just give you direct encounters. He shortens
36:31
Speaker 1: the distance between you and access to them.
36:37
Speaker 2: Allelujah.
36:39
Speaker 1: There are men today that embody the spirit of prayer.
36:42
Speaker 1: There are men today that embody the spirit of wisdom.
36:45
Speaker 1: There are men today that embody prosperity. There are men
36:49
Speaker 1: today that embodied leadership. Your assignment is to have the wisdom,
36:53
Speaker 1: the discernment, and the humility to not just look at
36:57
Speaker 1: them in the flesh, but to see.
36:58
Speaker 2: Them for what they reprive.
37:00
Speaker 1: Elijah had many sons of the prophets. You would think
37:03
Speaker 1: the next prophet would come from them, But the next
37:05
Speaker 1: prophet came from a man called Elijah. That leads me
37:09
Speaker 1: to the condition for receiving from anointed vessels honor and service. Genuine,
37:15
Speaker 1: non pretentious honor and service. Genuine non pretentious honor and service.
37:25
Speaker 1: There are many dimensions in Jesus. We only see in John.
37:29
Speaker 1: Not even the apostles carried it non pretentious honor and service.
37:37
Speaker 1: The man who poured water in the hands of Elijah,
37:41
Speaker 1: not the man who joined him to prophesy.
37:44
Speaker 2: No, there were sons of the prophet.
37:47
Speaker 1: Their prophetic acumen was being trained, and they knew that
37:51
Speaker 1: he was going, but he did not profit them. But
37:54
Speaker 1: there was a man who followed. Listen, let me tell
37:57
Speaker 1: you something. La is a gentlemen. I'm saying this because
38:00
Speaker 1: I know that we'll step back and from all the
38:02
Speaker 1: speakers that have come culminating with our father here were
38:05
Speaker 1: privileged to have. It's important. There's something the body of
38:09
Speaker 1: Christ is missing. You see, your direct access to God
38:14
Speaker 1: does not negate the system he has built. You ignore it,
38:19
Speaker 1: you will pay for it. You will pay for it
38:23
Speaker 1: in ministry, in business, whatever it is. Paul met Jesus,
38:29
Speaker 1: but he was still referred to the House of Judah
38:31
Speaker 1: to wait there. It was not Jesus that got him
38:33
Speaker 1: filled with the Holy Spirit, even though Jesus said the
38:36
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit to come in honor to him.
38:38
Speaker 2: You see, it was in David's destiny to be king.
38:46
Speaker 1: God had already given the judgment, but Somewhere was negotiating
38:51
Speaker 1: with God, and he was wasting David's time.
38:54
Speaker 2: A man, not Satan, not a spirit.
38:56
Speaker 1: To the point you would think God will ignore Somewhere
38:59
Speaker 1: and say, God, let me go. Directly, He kept pleading
39:03
Speaker 1: with Sawell and say how long are we together?
39:06
Speaker 2: Now? Yes?
39:08
Speaker 1: How long will you? You have rejected soul as king?
39:11
Speaker 1: How long you are delaying another person's destiny? One man?
39:16
Speaker 1: And God did not bypassing to say I am God.
39:19
Speaker 1: God came to him and said, I know, I know
39:21
Speaker 1: how emotionally connected you are to Saul. But the point
39:24
Speaker 1: is have rejected him. But if you refuse to go, a.
39:27
Speaker 2: Man's destiny is tied down.
39:29
Speaker 1: And when Samwell came, do you know why God had
39:32
Speaker 1: to ask Somewell to stop, Because if you had anointed earlier,
39:35
Speaker 1: he would be king. Do men have such power? A
39:48
Speaker 1: man can look at you and say, in the name
39:50
Speaker 1: of Jesus, I bless you. It may not make sense,
39:54
Speaker 1: and sometimes, with all you respect, this is our Arrogan generation.
39:57
Speaker 1: We do not understand the power of prophetic blessings. Man's
40:01
Speaker 1: life have been made overnight because of the kinds of words.
40:06
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, when you find people who are anointed,
40:09
Speaker 1: bend over back. What if you can, without humility allow
40:12
Speaker 1: naysayers and foolish people who do not allow the understand
40:15
Speaker 1: the economy to say what they're saying. But God's system
40:19
Speaker 1: will never change. You can respect yourself, but you cannot
40:23
Speaker 1: honor yourself. Honor is conferred by one greater than you.
40:27
Speaker 1: This is how it works. No man can honor himself.
40:32
Speaker 1: You can respect yourself, but honor is conferred. Thou shalt
40:37
Speaker 1: take some of thy honor, and thou shalt put upon
40:40
Speaker 1: him so that the nation of Israel.
40:42
Speaker 2: Will listen to him.
40:44
Speaker 1: It takes more than eloquence, takes more than a sincere heart.
40:48
Speaker 1: We're going to pray since our father is here. I
40:50
Speaker 1: don't qualify to do, and he speaking over your life again.
40:54
Speaker 1: So mine is to prepare the way, and then I
40:56
Speaker 1: step back and allow him speak. You may I think
41:00
Speaker 1: I'm just being humble, but that's how it works in
41:02
Speaker 1: the spirit. If you're a man of God, here, learn it.
41:11
Speaker 1: It doesn't reduce you. That's how it works. Are we together, Yes,
41:16
Speaker 1: it will be unwise for me to be making prophetic
41:18
Speaker 1: declarations over you as an importation with our father here.
41:23
Speaker 2: I know our arrogant generation. We've all saying.
41:25
Speaker 1: Jesus, but that's not how it works. There is a
41:28
Speaker 1: spiritual sister. Allelujah. And so Reverend Sam, we thank you
41:43
Speaker 1: for your life. I have to say this. We thank you.
41:46
Speaker 1: Today's your birthday, and thank you for what you represent
41:53
Speaker 1: the body of Christ and your contribution. Thank you, mam,
41:57
Speaker 1: thank you for everything and the transforming church. My prayer
42:02
Speaker 1: for you is that this salmon will not be a waste,
42:06
Speaker 1: that for every declaration that will come upon your life,
42:10
Speaker 1: that you open up your heart. If you're a servant
42:13
Speaker 1: of God here, if you're a businessman here, if you
42:18
Speaker 1: are a carrier person here, or you are in any
