Speaker 1: The International Ministers Conference is God's strategy to set your
0:05
Speaker 1: life and ministry on course. Welcome to the International Ministers Conference.
0:10
Speaker 1: And please take your seats in God's wonderful presence. Hallelujah.
0:14
Speaker 1: All right. Now, the theme of this conference is building
0:18
Speaker 1: ministries that will impact the landscapes and cultures... And then,
0:26
Speaker 1: just like I said, I will try as much as
0:28
Speaker 1: possible to teach systematically. And then I'm going to be
0:32
Speaker 1: praying for the apostle. The Lord has laid on the
0:35
Speaker 1: hearts of God's heaven to build ministries that will impact
0:42
Speaker 1: landscapes and cultures. I believe that God is up to something.
0:47
Speaker 1: Tell somebody beside you to say, God is up to something.
0:50
Speaker 1: Say it loud. Say, God is up to something. And
0:54
Speaker 1: so in this first section of mine, I'll be teaching
0:57
Speaker 1: on what I've captioned, Foundation for Impact in Ministry. Foundation
1:05
Speaker 1: for Impact in Ministry. And then this evening, I'll be
1:09
Speaker 1: teaching on the theme that is building ministries that will
1:13
Speaker 1: impact landscapes and cultures. And by the way, I've been
1:18
Speaker 1: following this meeting from day one. I've been tremendously blessed.
1:23
Speaker 1: We celebrate all the servants of God that have ministered.
1:26
Speaker 1: Please celebrate them. Celebrate them. Starting from the apostle himself,
1:30
Speaker 1: Pastor Ayuha Johnny. Apostle Emmanuel Iran was around. Apostle Muiware
1:36
Speaker 1: was around. And then Pastor Tokwe Godson. Please just celebrate everyone.
1:40
Speaker 1: Celebrate them. I've been so much blessed to have made
1:43
Speaker 1: tremendous deposits into this conference. And then I'm going to
1:47
Speaker 1: be approaching, you know, this particular conference from the thematic,
1:52
Speaker 1: you know, dimension and the angle. And then that's what
1:54
Speaker 1: we are looking at. So I'm going to be talking
1:56
Speaker 1: about impact today. Foundation for impact in life and ministry.
2:03
Speaker 1: And the first thing I want to say is that
2:04
Speaker 1: the gospel is not a gospel of isolation. The gospel
2:08
Speaker 1: is a gospel of inclusion. The gospel is not a
2:11
Speaker 1: gospel of exclusion. The gospel is a gospel of inclusion.
2:17
Speaker 1: Now when you look at the intent and the mind
2:19
Speaker 1: of God in the heart of the Father for the gospel,
2:21
Speaker 1: you know that God has a whole world in mind.
2:24
Speaker 1: The scripture tells us in 2 Peter 3 verse 9.
2:26
Speaker 1: It says, God is not willing that anyone should perish.
2:29
Speaker 1: That he wants all men to come to repentance. Glory
2:32
Speaker 1: to God. Then John chapter 3 verse 16. Unagreably is
2:37
Speaker 1: the most popular scripture. It says, for God so loved
2:39
Speaker 1: the world. That he gave his only begotten son. That
2:43
Speaker 1: whoever believes in him should not perish. But have everlasting life.
2:48
Speaker 1: So when God designed the gospel mandate. He had the
2:53
Speaker 1: whole world in mind. So Jesus did not come to
2:58
Speaker 1: just die for a particular segment of humanity. He died
3:03
Speaker 1: for the whole world. Glory to God. So the whole
3:05
Speaker 1: world is, you know, is God's big dream. And God
3:09
Speaker 1: wants the whole world, you know, to be conquered for it. Now,
3:14
Speaker 1: little one, that Jesus prayed in the interim, teaching the
3:16
Speaker 1: disciples to pray. Matthew chapter 6, from verse 9. After
3:19
Speaker 1: this morning, a proud father in heaven. I will be
3:21
Speaker 1: thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done in
3:23
Speaker 1: earth as it is in heaven. In other words, the
3:26
Speaker 1: kingdom of God, percolating the affairs of men, you know,
3:30
Speaker 1: from center to second phrase, is the heartbeat of God. So,
3:35
Speaker 1: that's important. Romans chapter number 1, verse 16 and 17.
3:40
Speaker 1: I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. For it
3:42
Speaker 1: is the power of God unto salvation. To everyone that believes.
3:47
Speaker 1: To the Jews first and then to the Greek. Then
3:49
Speaker 1: verse 17 says, For therein is the righteousness of God
3:52
Speaker 1: revealed from faith to faith. As it is written, the
3:55
Speaker 1: John shall live by faith. So I'm going to be
3:59
Speaker 1: addressing a very critical matter during the evening section. And
4:05
Speaker 1: then that is the attains of man. All believers, a
4:10
Speaker 1: segment in the body of Christ, wait on renewed minds
4:15
Speaker 1: in order to compartmentalize the move of God and limit
4:20
Speaker 1: it to a particular demography or to a particular social stratum.
4:26
Speaker 1: But that's not the mind of God. And that's why
4:29
Speaker 1: I know God has put this body in the heart
4:32
Speaker 1: of the apostle that we look at the cultures and landscapes.
4:36
Speaker 1: That is every human being on the face of the earth.
4:40
Speaker 1: Every language, every tongue, every kindred, every tribe, every nation,
4:44
Speaker 1: every state, every continent. The scripture tells us again in
4:48
Speaker 1: Revelation chapter 5 verse 9. It says, what is the lamb?
4:52
Speaker 1: Now look at it. He has redeemed us by the blood.
4:56
Speaker 1: That's redeemed us from every tongue, every tribe, every kindred,
5:00
Speaker 1: every nation. So that means God has the whole world
5:05
Speaker 1: in mind. Tell somebody beside you, say God has the
5:07
Speaker 1: whole world in mind. Now you say, when God was
5:11
Speaker 1: causing the covenant with Abraham. The apostle Paul captured the
5:14
Speaker 1: covenant door. Galatians chapter 3 verse 8. He said the
5:17
Speaker 1: scripture foreseeing that God would justify the earth in true faith.
5:24
Speaker 1: He prayed before the gospel unto Abraham. Saying indeed shall
5:30
Speaker 1: all the families of the earth be blessed. Indeed shall
5:35
Speaker 1: all the nations of the earth be blessed. Now hell
5:39
Speaker 1: was not originally created for man. Hell was created for
5:44
Speaker 1: the devil and his demons. So in the mind of God,
5:49
Speaker 1: in the intent of God by every stretch of eternal
5:53
Speaker 1: discretion and imagination, it is God's whims and caprice, it's
5:58
Speaker 1: God's intention and intentment and legal balance that the whole
6:04
Speaker 1: world should be saved. irrespective of cultural diversities, irrespective of
6:12
Speaker 1: cultural idiosyncrasies and nuances. Now you see, when Paul, I'm
6:18
Speaker 1: going to be addressing that in the evening, came on
6:20
Speaker 1: the landscape of the body of Christ, he changed the dynamics.
6:25
Speaker 1: You know, Peter was handed the keys in Matthew chapter
6:29
Speaker 1: 16 and verse 17. The Lord Jesus said, I give
6:31
Speaker 1: unto you the keys of the kingdom. And whatsoever thou
6:34
Speaker 1: shalt bind in that shall be bound in heaven. And
6:35
Speaker 1: whatsoever thou shalt lose in that shall be loosed in heaven.
6:37
Speaker 1: So Peter was like, administratively speaking, the head of the church.
6:42
Speaker 1: The Catholic church believed that Peter was the first pope.
6:44
Speaker 1: Are you following me? And the word Catholic means universal.
6:48
Speaker 1: And so when Judas Iscariot lost his place by transgression,
6:51
Speaker 1: it was Peter who stood up and said there must
6:53
Speaker 1: be a replacement for Judas Iscariot. In Acts chapter 6,
6:57
Speaker 1: that's Acts chapter number 1, you started reading from verse 15.
7:00
Speaker 1: In Acts chapter 6, when there was murmuring in the
7:02
Speaker 1: early church, it was Peter who spoke, you know, to
7:06
Speaker 1: the disciples. And he said, it's not meant for us,
7:09
Speaker 1: or reasonable for us, to leave the word of God
7:11
Speaker 1: and serve tables. They have chosen among you several men
7:14
Speaker 1: of honor who are full of faith and full of
7:15
Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost. And they chose several men. So the
7:18
Speaker 1: forces of deacons were appointed over the business affairs of
7:21
Speaker 1: the church. So a lot of trust was actually invested
7:25
Speaker 1: in him. And every other apostle in that stream, Kedar
7:31
Speaker 1: and Calibur. But then the gospel had restrictive expression, which
7:37
Speaker 1: was antithetical to God's agenda. God's agenda was that the
7:42
Speaker 1: gospel was going to penetrate all cultures and all nations.
7:46
Speaker 1: And little wonder, in Acts chapter number 10, when the
7:49
Speaker 1: Lord Jesus gave him a vision, and he saw a
7:51
Speaker 1: wise she led her from heaven to the hand of
7:53
Speaker 1: the Father, they had been moving up and down, and
7:54
Speaker 1: the Lord said, rise and kill and eat. And he said,
7:57
Speaker 1: not so, Lord, I do not eat unclean things. Now,
8:02
Speaker 1: That he was profiling the entire Gentile population. As unclean.
8:11
Speaker 1: As sinners. But the Lord Jesus said, what God has cleansed,
8:16
Speaker 1: thou call not common. Now, it's interesting that even at
8:20
Speaker 1: that point, the Gentiles were not yet saved, but God
8:24
Speaker 1: called them clean. Glory to God. Because it was saying
8:27
Speaker 1: that against the background of the prize that was paid
8:30
Speaker 1: for them, and that is the precious blood of Jesus. Now,
8:33
Speaker 1: I want to say this to us. The blood of
8:36
Speaker 1: Jesus is the unifier. What did I say? We are
8:42
Speaker 1: blood brothers by the precious blood of the Lamb. So
8:46
Speaker 1: if we say we are family members, we belong to
8:48
Speaker 1: God's spiritual family because the blood of Jesus was shed
8:51
Speaker 1: for us. Glory to God. I remember some years ago,
8:54
Speaker 1: I think the year 2007. 2007. I was in the
8:58
Speaker 1: hospital having a sustained, you know, a community femoral fracture
9:03
Speaker 1: of my right femur. And I was there forming. I
9:05
Speaker 1: was praying and praying and praying in tongues. And the
9:07
Speaker 1: Lord showed me a vision. And I saw a woman,
9:09
Speaker 1: a European woman, who was gasping for life and gasping
9:14
Speaker 1: for breath. And the Lord said to me, He said,
9:16
Speaker 1: that is one of my daughters in the European nation.
9:19
Speaker 1: I wanted to pray for her. I wanted to intercede
9:22
Speaker 1: for her. And I began to understand that, you see,
9:26
Speaker 1: location does not divide the body of Christ. Location is
9:30
Speaker 1: not a barrier. The unity of the body of Christ
9:33
Speaker 1: is spiritual. It's not uniformity. We are united in the spirit. Now, first,
9:39
Speaker 1: chapter 10, chapter 12 and verse 13. The scripture says,
9:44
Speaker 1: by one spirit... And we are baptized into one body.
9:50
Speaker 1: Whether you are Jews or Greeks. Born free. And we
9:53
Speaker 1: have been made to drink into that same spirit. So
9:58
Speaker 1: it is one body. Can somebody say one body? Say
10:01
Speaker 1: it louder. Say one body. Now let me say this
10:05
Speaker 1: to you. You cannot impact a people you despise. You
10:10
Speaker 1: cannot impart a people you do not love. When God
10:14
Speaker 1: sent Jonah to the city of Nineveh. And he said,
10:17
Speaker 1: go preach the city of Nineveh. Now, he brought a
10:19
Speaker 1: sheep going to Tarshish. And then it was in the
10:22
Speaker 1: belly of the fish for three days. And then it
10:25
Speaker 1: came out of it. And it went there and began
10:27
Speaker 1: to preach. And it began to preach. And the scripture says,
10:30
Speaker 1: from the king. Down to the list and the animals
10:35
Speaker 1: in the entire city. All of them, they fasted. Animals fasted.
10:40
Speaker 1: So the word that Jonah prayed penetrated an enclave that
10:46
Speaker 1: was resistant to the revelation of God. So what we
10:50
Speaker 1: are looking at today, the bottom line is, how can
10:53
Speaker 1: we take the mandates or the gospel of the kingdom
10:57
Speaker 1: and make it penetrate landscapes and cultures? There are landscapes
11:03
Speaker 1: that have demonic strongholds. The scripture tells us in Acts
11:07
Speaker 1: chapter 19 and verse 20. So mightily grew the word
11:11
Speaker 1: of God and prevailed. That is in the city of Ephesus.
11:17
Speaker 1: And I see through the eyes of the spirit. That
11:20
Speaker 1: see landscapes. Now landscapes are not restricted to location I
11:24
Speaker 1: believe you know. They are not restricted to you know
11:26
Speaker 1: countries and the like. We are talking about systems and structures.
11:31
Speaker 1: We are talking about systems and structures. It's a lot
11:35
Speaker 1: of systems and structures. The kingdoms of this world have
11:39
Speaker 1: become the kingdoms of our God and of his Christ.
11:41
Speaker 1: Revelation 11 15. Now I say this in my hand.
11:45
Speaker 1: I say territories that have been resistant to the gospel
11:51
Speaker 1: or resistant to development and they say nothing happens here.
11:57
Speaker 1: Nothing grows here. God will put an anointing upon this
12:01
Speaker 1: ministry and the kingdom of God shall be planted there
12:06
Speaker 1: You will see it and it's going to happen. By
12:08
Speaker 1: the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Now look at it.
12:10
Speaker 1: Jeremiah chapter 1 and verse 10. Let's read together. Jeremiah
12:14
Speaker 1: chapter 1 and verse 10. 1, 2, 3, go. See,
12:19
Speaker 1: after this, they set you over the nations and over
12:21
Speaker 1: the kingdoms to root out, to pull down, to destroy
12:24
Speaker 1: and to throw down. Now, it didn't end there. And
12:27
Speaker 1: that's what some people do. Now, you go, you pull down,
12:30
Speaker 1: you destroy, you do everything. The things that, you know,
12:34
Speaker 1: are incompatible with the will of God, with the patterns
12:38
Speaker 1: of the kingdom. But where did it end? It said
12:40
Speaker 1: to build and then to plant. Glory to God. Now,
12:45
Speaker 1: that is the bigger picture. See what I'm saying? The
12:47
Speaker 1: bigger picture. It's a louder, it's a bigger picture. So
12:50
Speaker 1: we're looking at landscapes and cultures. And we're looking at impact.
12:56
Speaker 1: See what I'm saying? Impact. Now, looking at the thing,
13:00
Speaker 1: it tells you that it's not every ministry that is
13:03
Speaker 1: making impact. Making sound is not the same thing as
13:08
Speaker 1: making impact. And I'm going to prove this. Look at
13:11
Speaker 1: the definition of impact. Let me define impact for you.
13:14
Speaker 1: Glory to God. What is impact? Impact. Now impact means effect.
13:20
Speaker 1: Can somebody say effect? Look at it. Effect. The powerful
13:26
Speaker 1: effect that something has on somebody or on something. It
13:30
Speaker 1: means an impression. So, impact can be positive or it
13:36
Speaker 1: can be negative. It can be high or it can
13:39
Speaker 1: be low. For instance, if a bomb explodes somewhere and
13:44
Speaker 1: then there are infrastructural facilities there. Now, the impact of
13:49
Speaker 1: that explosion on those structures will be visible. Now, everybody
13:54
Speaker 1: look up. Look at this. Look at this, you know,
13:56
Speaker 1: first of all. Now, if I throw this up, I
14:00
Speaker 1: throw it up now, and then it falls. I pick
14:04
Speaker 1: it up. Does it have impact on the podium? Does
14:07
Speaker 1: it have impact? It doesn't make any impact. But if,
14:11
Speaker 1: let me say, I throw this and I put it
14:13
Speaker 1: on the speaker, it doesn't make any impact. But let's
14:16
Speaker 1: say I bring a metallic object that is very, very strong,
14:20
Speaker 1: and I throw it, and it lands on this speaker.
14:24
Speaker 1: It's going to have impact there. So if you want
14:26
Speaker 1: to make impact, you must be stronger than what you
14:30
Speaker 1: are trying to impact. You must be more knowledgeable than
14:34
Speaker 1: what you are trying to impact. You must be better
14:37
Speaker 1: positioned than what you are trying to impact. Impact is
14:41
Speaker 1: not for fun. It is not every minute. You cannot
14:45
Speaker 1: be on the same level with people and say you
14:48
Speaker 1: are making outstanding impact on them. So for you to
14:52
Speaker 1: make impact, you must stand on the higher pedestal. Now Jesus,
14:59
Speaker 1: the scripture says, he knew no sin. He knew no sin.
15:06
Speaker 1: 2 Corinthians chapter 5 and verse 21. He who knew
15:11
Speaker 1: no sin was meant to be seen for us. That
15:13
Speaker 1: we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
15:16
Speaker 1: Because he was on a different pedestal entirely. So he
15:21
Speaker 1: was in a better position to impact us. That's very important.
15:27
Speaker 1: And another thing I want to say is. Every impact
15:32
Speaker 1: is a product of contact. What did I say? There
15:36
Speaker 1: can be no impact if there is no contact. Now
15:40
Speaker 1: this is what we are looking at today. A lot
15:44
Speaker 1: of ministers are trying to impact the people they are
15:48
Speaker 1: not ready to contact. In other words, to mix with.
15:53
Speaker 1: There is no impact in isolation. So if you are
15:57
Speaker 1: trying to isolate yourself... From the people you are trying
16:00
Speaker 1: to impact. Now that means. You are deceiving yourself. It's
16:06
Speaker 1: not going to happen. Impact is. A product of contact.
16:11
Speaker 1: Impact is not made in isolation. Now let me say this.
16:15
Speaker 1: As a follow up to that. Not every contact. Produces impact.
16:21
Speaker 1: I just gave an example. Now look at this pen.
16:25
Speaker 1: Look at this pen. I draw it. And impact. That's
16:30
Speaker 1: no impact. If I pick up this speaker and I
16:36
Speaker 1: pick up one of the glass cups there and then
16:39
Speaker 1: I throw it on it, what happens to the glass cups?
16:42
Speaker 1: It breaks. That is impact because this one is stronger.
16:47
Speaker 1: There are people that do ministry and it is not felt.
16:53
Speaker 1: Impact can be transgenerational. Impact can be restricted or far-reaching.
17:00
Speaker 1: I'm going to be dissecting that and some of the
17:03
Speaker 1: things you need to do in order to know that
17:05
Speaker 1: for my ministry to have a far-reaching effect, what are
17:10
Speaker 1: the things that I need to do in order to
17:13
Speaker 1: impact the nations of the earth? Glory to God. Now,
17:18
Speaker 1: strategic contact, therefore, produces spontaneous impact. Strategic contact produces spontaneous impact. Meaning, strategically,
17:33
Speaker 1: you have contact. And then it produces impact. Glory to God.
17:40
Speaker 1: I'm going to be teaching systematically. Glory to God. I'm
17:44
Speaker 1: going to keep to that time. Now look at it.
17:46
Speaker 1: We're talking about landscapes and cultures and systems and structures.
17:50
Speaker 1: Let's talk about structures, societies, nations, tribes, tongues, languages, demographies.
17:57
Speaker 1: The gospel, like I said, is a global mandate. God
18:01
Speaker 1: wants it to penetrate everywhere. And it's also captured in
18:06
Speaker 1: Old Testament prophecy. In Isaiah chapter 2 verse 2. It
18:10
Speaker 1: shall come to pass in the last days. That the
18:13
Speaker 1: mountain of the lost house. Shall be in the top.
18:16
Speaker 1: Can someone say in the top. So it's not on
18:19
Speaker 1: the same level with other mountains. Shall be in the
18:22
Speaker 1: top of the mountains. And be exalted above the hills.
18:26
Speaker 1: And then all nations. They shall flow unto it. If
18:29
Speaker 1: they are on the same level. They may not flow
18:31
Speaker 1: unto it. Glory to God. So there must be something.
18:35
Speaker 1: That compels impact. And what compels impact is the revelation
18:42
Speaker 1: of God's glory in the spirit of the believer as
18:46
Speaker 1: propelled by the force of the word and the force
18:49
Speaker 1: of the spirit. And later on that the scripture says, arise, shine,
18:52
Speaker 1: the light has come. Isaiah chapter 60 from verse 1.
18:55
Speaker 1: The glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. He said, behold,
18:58
Speaker 1: the darkness shall cover the earth. And gross darkness to people.
19:03
Speaker 1: But upon you the glory of the Lord shall rise.
19:05
Speaker 1: And then the Lord shall rise. And the glory shall
19:07
Speaker 1: be seen upon you. And the Gentiles. Can somebody say
19:10
Speaker 1: the Gentiles. The Gentiles. Shall come. They come to your life.
19:17
Speaker 1: And the kings will come to the brightness of your rising.
19:21
Speaker 1: Let me say this. While praying for Apostle Amama today.
19:25
Speaker 1: One of the prophetic words God gave me for this
19:27
Speaker 1: season is this. Listen. Listen. He said, you have heard
19:30
Speaker 1: it said over time that you will stand before kings.
19:35
Speaker 1: But the Lord says, I should tell you that kings
19:37
Speaker 1: will stand before you in this house. It is the
19:40
Speaker 1: word of the Lord. Kings will stand before you. When
19:44
Speaker 1: we stand before kings, that implies a level. But there
19:47
Speaker 1: is a higher level, and I say it with the
19:49
Speaker 1: weight of God's apostolic and prophetic mantle upon my life.
19:54
Speaker 1: From this day, kings will begin to stand before you.
19:58
Speaker 1: They will stand before you. Please take your seat. Because
20:02
Speaker 1: I really want to teach now. Look at it. Kings
20:05
Speaker 1: shall come to the brightness of your eyes and So
20:08
Speaker 1: not just you going there, but they coming. Because something
20:14
Speaker 1: is compelling them to come. And one of the things
20:17
Speaker 1: we're going to look at today is that kings are
20:21
Speaker 1: custodians of tradition. Kings are custodians of cultures. There are people, see,
20:30
Speaker 1: there are people that just winning them in a territory,
20:32
Speaker 1: you win the whole territory. Let me give you an example.
20:38
Speaker 1: Two examples here. Dairos for instance. The scripture says. When
20:42
Speaker 1: God delivered Daniel from the lion's den. In Daniel chapter
20:46
Speaker 1: number 6. Dairos signed a decree. And he put all nations.
20:53
Speaker 1: And kingdoms. And tribes. And languages. And landscapes. And territories.
20:59
Speaker 1: Under my dominion. Must worship the God of Daniel. Just
21:07
Speaker 1: one single individual. The utopian eunuch came. And then he
21:12
Speaker 1: had contact with Philip. He brought back the gospel to Africa.
21:18
Speaker 1: Now the conversation is getting expanded in my spirit. To
21:22
Speaker 1: win and to dominate a landscape. Or to win a territory.
21:28
Speaker 1: To possess a territory for the Lord. Sometimes you just
21:32
Speaker 1: have to be strategic in your partnership with the Holy
21:35
Speaker 1: Spirit in winning one single individual who is strategically positioned
21:42
Speaker 1: in the hands of affairs. And just by promulgation of
21:46
Speaker 1: a law and policy, everybody complies. Oh, Lord Jesus, help me.
21:52
Speaker 1: Some years ago, the Lord told me, he said, the
21:55
Speaker 1: laws of a country Are not set by legislators. They
22:00
Speaker 1: are set by intercessors. They are set by intercessors. Lord
22:08
Speaker 1: told me that. They are set by intercessors. There was
22:13
Speaker 1: a man by the name of. A man. Who wanted
22:16
Speaker 1: to exterminate. And annihilate the whole people. Obliterate the entire.
22:21
Speaker 1: Jewish generation. And if he did that. Successfully. The messianic
22:27
Speaker 1: prophecy will have been effectively hindered. But let God be true.
22:32
Speaker 1: And every man a liar. And so God raised Esther.
22:37
Speaker 1: Hear this. There are women here in Spirit of Light Church.
22:44
Speaker 1: God will raise you as Esther in the palace. I
22:48
Speaker 1: command the flow of that grace to rest upon you
22:52
Speaker 1: right now. Receive it now. Receive it now. In the
23:03
Speaker 1: name of Jesus. Let me just follow the floor. I
23:09
Speaker 1: don't want to move into the prophetic body. See God.
23:12
Speaker 1: Let God just. You see what I see in the spirit.
23:17
Speaker 1: After this conference. The God of heaven. We open platforms.
23:26
Speaker 1: For you. That we better position you. To wield your
23:32
Speaker 1: kingdom influence. Over territories. Over cultures. Over systems. Over nations.
23:42
Speaker 1: And I command that grace to rest upon this house
23:45
Speaker 1: right now. Listen to this. I see Esthers displacing Jezebels.
23:56
Speaker 1: I see Esthers displacing Jezebels. I see Esthers displacing Jezebels.
24:02
Speaker 1: Every Jezebel in all the systems of this world, Esthers
24:06
Speaker 1: are rising here. And they will displace them. If you're
24:10
Speaker 1: a woman, they'll place your right hand on your forehead.
24:12
Speaker 1: I command that oil to rest upon you now. I
24:16
Speaker 1: command that grace to rest upon you now. In the
24:20
Speaker 1: name of Jesus. It was Jezebel that advised her husband
24:25
Speaker 1: to kidnap her and to snatch his vineyard. But Esther
24:30
Speaker 1: stood in the gap and said, there is a reason
24:33
Speaker 1: I'm here to afraid this culture and this landscape. The
24:37
Speaker 1: culture of bigotry, the culture of religion, the culture of insensitivity.
24:42
Speaker 1: The culture of violence. Please take your seat. Let's just flow.
24:49
Speaker 1: Glory to God. Oh Lord Jesus help me. Oh Lord Jesus.
24:57
Speaker 1: Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus.
25:02
Speaker 1: Thank you Lord Jesus. Glory to God. I said glory
25:06
Speaker 1: to God. Let's teach. Now Jesus said... You are the
25:15
Speaker 1: light of the world. Light does not shine in isolation.
25:20
Speaker 1: It shines in contact with darkness. You are the salt
25:26
Speaker 1: of the earth. You don't swallow salt. You swallow it.
25:33
Speaker 1: Salt must be mixed with soup for it to produce sweetness.
25:38
Speaker 1: So if you are the salt of the heart, that
25:41
Speaker 1: means you must have contact with the structures of the
25:46
Speaker 1: heart and the cultures of the heart in order to
25:50
Speaker 1: produce wisdom. Listen to this. Kingdom impact is based on
25:58
Speaker 1: the principle of contact without contamination. Lord Jesus, can somebody
26:06
Speaker 1: say contact? Contact. Without contamination. We are the light of
26:10
Speaker 1: the Lord. Matthew chapter 5. And then verse 14. You
26:15
Speaker 1: are the light of the Lord. Verse 16. Let your
26:17
Speaker 1: light so shine before men that they may see your
26:19
Speaker 1: good works. And glorify your Father who is in heaven.
26:22
Speaker 1: Philippians 2 and verse 15. The Bible says we shine
26:26
Speaker 1: as lights in a crooked and perverse nation and generation.
26:34
Speaker 1: Now let me say this. For those of us that
26:35
Speaker 1: we minister to. Ministry is unto people. You cannot do
26:41
Speaker 1: ministry without people. You contact people. I've added, I don't
26:45
Speaker 1: know the minister that called it. Bishop David Oedipus once said,
26:49
Speaker 1: his greatest challenge in ministry are people and his greatest
26:53
Speaker 1: asset in ministry are people. You always have to interact
27:00
Speaker 1: with people. If you don't have the knowledge of strategic connection,
27:04
Speaker 1: how to connect with people, you can't make impact. Can't
27:07
Speaker 1: make it. There has to be that connection. So, impact
27:12
Speaker 1: in the kingdom of God is towards the people because
27:15
Speaker 1: the people are the targets of ministry. Ministry is people oriented. So,
27:24
Speaker 1: there must be contacts with people. Now, let me quickly
27:28
Speaker 1: say this. I believe this has been, I will not
27:30
Speaker 1: dwell too much on this. What are the tools of
27:33
Speaker 1: impact in ministry? The word and the spirit. Can someone
27:36
Speaker 1: say the word and the spirit? It's allowed to say
27:38
Speaker 1: the word and the spirit. If you don't have the word,
27:40
Speaker 1: the spirit dimension is not there. You're not going to
27:42
Speaker 1: make any impact. Because the word of God is quick
27:45
Speaker 1: and powerful and shepherd and hand it to where it's sought.
27:47
Speaker 1: Be assignable to the dividing line of the soul and spirit.
27:49
Speaker 1: John the mountain is the design of the child and
27:50
Speaker 1: the hint of the eye. Hebrews chapter 4 verse 12.
27:53
Speaker 1: John 6 verses 3. It is the spirit that quickens.
27:57
Speaker 1: I said the flesh, the prophet and the Lord and
27:59
Speaker 1: the words that speak to you. So the word. Let
28:01
Speaker 1: me just give you two examples here. Genesis chapter 1
28:03
Speaker 1: from verse 1. If the spirit is not activated by
28:07
Speaker 1: the word, then there is no impact. In the beginning
28:10
Speaker 1: God created the heaven and the earth was without form
28:15
Speaker 1: and void. Yet darkness was upon the face of the
28:18
Speaker 1: deep and the spirit of God was moving. The spirit
28:21
Speaker 1: was moving on the face of the waters. Yes, darkness.
28:28
Speaker 1: And there was no impact. The Holy Spirit was moving
28:32
Speaker 1: on the water and there was no darkness on the earth.
28:35
Speaker 1: Until God spoke the word. And God said. Light be.
28:42
Speaker 1: And then light was. That is engaging the spirit. By
28:46
Speaker 1: the word. The Holy Spirit is only committed. To confirming
28:51
Speaker 1: the word of God. Because when he is coming. He
28:53
Speaker 1: will testify of me. He will guide you into the
28:55
Speaker 1: whole truth. And Jesus is the truth. He will reveal you.
28:59
Speaker 1: He will reveal me to you. He is a revealer
29:02
Speaker 1: of Christ. Acts chapter 10 verse 44. Why Peter yet
29:07
Speaker 1: spoke these words? The Holy Ghost fell on all that
29:12
Speaker 1: heard the word. Amen and amen. Luke chapter 4 verse
29:17
Speaker 1: 18 and 19. You can read that. The spirit of
29:20
Speaker 1: the Lord is upon me. Because the Lord has anointed me.
29:23
Speaker 1: To pray the gospel to the poor. Send me to
29:25
Speaker 1: heal the brokenhearted. And to pray deliverance to the captives.
29:29
Speaker 1: To set at liberty. Them that are bruised. And to
29:32
Speaker 1: pray the acceptable year of the Lord. You can just
29:36
Speaker 1: pray the whole world so there can be no impact
29:40
Speaker 1: when the spirit is not engaged the scripture says the
29:43
Speaker 1: manifestation not impartation first Corinthians 12 verse 7 the spirit
29:51
Speaker 1: must be manifested the manifestation of the spirit profited look
29:58
Speaker 1: at it it's given to every man to profit with
30:01
Speaker 1: her second timothy chapter one and verse six see i
30:06
Speaker 1: hope that gift of god which is in you which
30:08
Speaker 1: was given by the laying on of my hands now
30:11
Speaker 1: let me go to the heart of this message i'm
30:13
Speaker 1: trying to you know uh to to synchronize everything into
30:17
Speaker 1: a thought pattern please listen carefully jesus is our pattern
30:24
Speaker 1: what did i say What did I say? When you
30:30
Speaker 1: talk about landscapes, cultures, simply, you are talking about people.
30:35
Speaker 1: Can somebody say people? People with different nuances, idiosyncrasies, prejudices,
30:43
Speaker 1: cultural ethos. I was sharing with one of our pastors,
30:47
Speaker 1: was it two days ago? I said, see, you must
30:49
Speaker 1: understand the dynamics of a particular culture. Before you can
30:53
Speaker 1: penetrate the culture strategically. There are some prayer points that
30:58
Speaker 1: we pray in some part of the world that may
31:01
Speaker 1: not be applicable in another culture. For instance, you're praying
31:04
Speaker 1: to God for good roads. You're praying to God for...
31:09
Speaker 1: One of my sons is in the UK now. He's
31:11
Speaker 1: been in the UK for some time. And we were
31:13
Speaker 1: speaking recently. And ever since he's been there, he said
31:16
Speaker 1: the light has not blinked once. It has not blinked once.
31:20
Speaker 1: Are you following me? Has not blinked once. So if
31:26
Speaker 1: you go into that particular landscape. Or culture. And you're
31:30
Speaker 1: preaching to the people. To trust God for good roads.
31:32
Speaker 1: Are you following me? For power supply. These are basic amenities. Why?
31:40
Speaker 1: It does not invalidate. The fact that in another culture.
31:45
Speaker 1: That is not an exigency. Because there are people that
31:48
Speaker 1: are not balanced. They say. That's not the gospel. The gospel.
31:54
Speaker 1: It's the power of God unto salvation. It's the unveiling
31:57
Speaker 1: of God's righteousness. But it impacts on societies. Look at
32:05
Speaker 1: the world. Where you see the most diseases. Backwardness. The
32:10
Speaker 1: demonic oppression. There are places that are resistant to the
32:15
Speaker 1: gospel of Christ. Because the gospel is light. The gospel
32:19
Speaker 1: is light. The gospel is light. So Jesus interacted with
32:27
Speaker 1: the people. And I will give you like 18 demographies
32:32
Speaker 1: or demographic categories that Jesus interacted with. It was not
32:38
Speaker 1: just many of us what we had in mind during
32:40
Speaker 1: the Jesus and the ministry. It was only Jesus Christ
32:42
Speaker 1: and the apostles rolling together. sharing ribs, praying together. He
32:48
Speaker 1: interacted with different people in the society. That's what we
32:52
Speaker 1: are talking about. There is no way we want to
32:55
Speaker 1: penetrate the structures of the societies without identifying the demographies
33:02
Speaker 1: in the societies. Number one, look at it. Man, can
33:10
Speaker 1: somebody say man? Say it again, say man. He interacted
33:14
Speaker 1: with man. all his apostles were men. Mark 3, 14,
33:18
Speaker 1: it caught on to him, 12 apostles, he ordained them
33:21
Speaker 1: to be apostles, and he sent them to pray. Number two,
33:24
Speaker 1: he interacted with women. Can somebody say women? There are
33:29
Speaker 1: people that have special graces to preach to women. We
33:34
Speaker 1: have them in the body of Christ, like Bishop T.D. Jakes,
33:36
Speaker 1: for instance, the porter's house. And they say, sometimes, you see,
33:41
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't have an explanation for this.
33:44
Speaker 1: You see, churches largely populated by women. Let's say 99%,
33:50
Speaker 1: for instance, or 99.5%. And sometimes the pastor is preaching.
33:57
Speaker 1: And I see people crying. Are you following me? People
34:00
Speaker 1: are crying. They're shedding tears. Because there are matters that
34:04
Speaker 1: are germane and peculiar to women. And if God says,
34:09
Speaker 1: I've anointed you and given you a special message for
34:13
Speaker 1: the woman folk. You don't say, not so Lord. You
34:18
Speaker 1: don't say that. That's penetrating a demography. The woman. Jesus
34:27
Speaker 1: ministered to children. Because when you say children, He called
34:30
Speaker 1: the children to him. He laid hands on every one
34:34
Speaker 1: of them. And then he blessed them. So there is
34:37
Speaker 1: three children ministry today. From a child who have known
34:41
Speaker 1: the Holy Scripture. Which are able to make you wise
34:44
Speaker 1: unto salvation. You see it is in Matthew 19, 13
34:47
Speaker 1: to 15. Jesus prayed for a woman. He ministered to
34:51
Speaker 1: a woman. Luke 8, verse 2 to 3. And many
34:57
Speaker 1: of his partners were women. Now, the Lord Jesus ministered
35:01
Speaker 1: to the rich. Can somebody say the rich? Say it louder.
35:06
Speaker 1: Say the rich. Or somebody say, well, pastor, I feel
35:11
Speaker 1: the gospel is to the poor. Amen. Now, if somebody
35:14
Speaker 1: is rich, naturally is a multi-millionaire or multi-billionaire. He got
35:21
Speaker 1: his wealth through legitimate means. That the gospel is not
35:25
Speaker 1: meant for them. The gospel is meant for them too.
35:29
Speaker 1: There are people that have this mindset. That when you
35:31
Speaker 1: talk about gospel. The gospel is only for people that
35:35
Speaker 1: don't have any money in their pocket. The gospel is
35:39
Speaker 1: for all men. Including people who have billions of dollars
35:45
Speaker 1: in their bank account. And Jesus ministered to them all.
35:50
Speaker 1: There was a man by the name of Zacchaeus. The
35:51
Speaker 1: Bible says he was very rich. He was very rich.
35:56
Speaker 1: Now look at it. Let me show you his scripture.
35:58
Speaker 1: He was very rich. Luke 19 verse 1 and 2.
36:02
Speaker 1: Let's read. Luke chapter 19 verse 1 and 2. Glory
36:06
Speaker 1: to God. Let's read this together. One, two, three, go.
36:10
Speaker 1: And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. And behold, there
36:15
Speaker 1: was a man named Zacchaeus. Which was achieved among the publicans.
36:20
Speaker 1: And he was rich. He was poor. Did your guy say, no, no, no.
36:29
Speaker 1: It is not people like you that we pray the
36:31
Speaker 1: gospel to. We don't want people that have money. Did
36:33
Speaker 1: he say that? He prayed to the rich and to
36:37
Speaker 1: the poor. He prayed to the sick and to the whole.
36:41
Speaker 1: He prayed to everyone. Now, look at it. Now, this
36:45
Speaker 1: scripture tells us about Timothy. Paul told Timothy, he said,
36:49
Speaker 1: charge them, 1 Timothy chapter 6 verse 17, that are rich,
36:55
Speaker 1: that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded,
37:01
Speaker 1: nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God,
37:06
Speaker 1: who has given us all things richly to enjoy. Now,
37:10
Speaker 1: if he said, charge them, Timothy was not charging or
37:14
Speaker 1: giving instructions. He was instructing believers in our pastoral oversight over.
37:22
Speaker 1: So those people he was instructing, they were members of
37:26
Speaker 1: the church who were materially and financially rich. Can somebody
37:31
Speaker 1: say amen to that? Can somebody say amen to that?
37:35
Speaker 1: Glory to God. Number four. Jesus interacted with the poor.
37:42
Speaker 1: The spirit of the Lord is upon me. Because he's
37:45
Speaker 1: anointed me. To pray the gospel to the poor. Luke
37:48
Speaker 1: chapter 4 verse 18. A minister to the sick. Luke
37:52
Speaker 1: 4 verse 40. When the sun was set. He brought
37:55
Speaker 1: everyone sick. Until he laid hands on them. And healed
37:57
Speaker 1: them all. A minister to the religious folks. Religious minded folks.
38:03
Speaker 1: Nicodemus was a Pharisee. He came to Jesus by night.
38:08
Speaker 1: Jesus did not send him away. Wave your hand to somebody.
38:12
Speaker 1: Jesus did not send them away. We are talking about
38:16
Speaker 1: cultures and landscapes. So we start with demographies. John chapter
38:20
Speaker 1: 3 from verse 1. John chapter 3 from verse 1.
38:25
Speaker 1: There was a man of the forest named Nicodemus, a
38:28
Speaker 1: ruler of the Jews. Now look at it. The same
38:33
Speaker 1: came to Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi,
38:35
Speaker 1: We know that thou art a teacher come from God.
38:38
Speaker 1: For no man can do these miracles. And thou do
38:41
Speaker 1: it except God be with him. Let's read this together.
38:44
Speaker 1: Verse 3. 1, 2, 3, go. Jesus answered and said
38:48
Speaker 1: unto him. Verily, verily, I say unto you. Except a
38:51
Speaker 1: man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
38:55
Speaker 1: Glory to God. I say glory to God. Religious folks
39:00
Speaker 1: have ministered to them. And the Lord Jesus also ministered
39:04
Speaker 1: to the intelligentsia. The intelligentsia in the society. People were
39:13
Speaker 1: doctors of the law. Many times people always think that
39:17
Speaker 1: there are people that should, if you are pastoring people
39:20
Speaker 1: that cannot read A to Z, or that don't know,
39:25
Speaker 1: you know, they don't know the basic rules of English,
39:29
Speaker 1: that it means that your church is only unto God. No.
39:34
Speaker 1: The truth is that God is completely made from everywhere
39:38
Speaker 1: to come into the kingdom. So tell someone, say, change
39:42
Speaker 1: your mentality. Say it louder. Say, change your mentality. Say,
39:47
Speaker 1: change your mindset. Say it louder. Glory to God. Change
39:50
Speaker 1: your mentality. Now, Luke chapter number 2, verse 46 and 47.
39:56
Speaker 1: The Lord Jesus was disputing with the doctors of the law.
40:00
Speaker 1: He was answering questions. The mouthful that is understanding and answers.
40:06
Speaker 1: He was not just rolling with him. He ministered to them.
40:10
Speaker 1: So there is nothing wrong in taking the gospel to professors,
40:15
Speaker 1: to the members of the academia. That is a demography
40:19
Speaker 1: in the society. The next one is a minister to businessmen.
40:25
Speaker 1: Can someone say businessmen? Peter was a fisherman, right? So
40:31
Speaker 1: you can read it. He ministered to them. Luke chapter 5,
40:34
Speaker 1: 1 to 2. Matthew chapter 4, 18 to 19. And
40:38
Speaker 1: number 11, a minister to prostitutes. The woman by Jacob's well.
40:44
Speaker 1: The Samaritan woman. You have had five husbands. And the
40:47
Speaker 1: one with you now is not your husband. Oh, he said, Master,
40:51
Speaker 1: I know, I perceive that you are a prophet. He
40:54
Speaker 1: did not segregate them. Glory to God. Number 13, Jesus
40:59
Speaker 1: ministered to military men. Can someone say military men? Say
41:04
Speaker 1: it again. Say military men. Soldiers. Generous. The centurion came
41:09
Speaker 1: to Jesus. He didn't send him away. He didn't say,
41:13
Speaker 1: it is not people like you that the gospel is
41:15
Speaker 1: meant for. Praise God. It's not people like you that
41:18
Speaker 1: we minister to. The gospel is only for the people
41:22
Speaker 1: that occupy the lower cadre. No. He ministered to him.
41:26
Speaker 1: He said, come to my house. Let's just speak the
41:29
Speaker 1: word only. Are you following me? Ah, Jesus Christ will
41:32
Speaker 1: come to us just with the word only. And he
41:34
Speaker 1: marveled at his faith. Now, I have not seen this
41:37
Speaker 1: faith so great in the whole of Israel. So, he
41:41
Speaker 1: ministered to many three men. And the seven received Eden.
41:44
Speaker 1: Matthew chapter 8, verse 5 to 13. Number 14, he
41:49
Speaker 1: ministered to sinners. I said that earlier. Matthew chapter 9,
41:53
Speaker 1: verse 11 to 13. He ministered to civil servants. Can
41:57
Speaker 1: I say civil servants? He said against the civil servants,
42:02
Speaker 1: the publicans, the tax collectors who are working for the
42:05
Speaker 1: Roman government to collect taxes from the people. Matthew 9, 9-10.
42:11
Speaker 1: Luke 19, 1-5. He ministered to widows. Number 16. He
42:15
Speaker 1: ministered to criminals. The thief on the right hand on
42:21
Speaker 1: the cross. He said, Master, remember me in thy kingdoms.
42:25
Speaker 1: And he said, this day you'll be with me in paradise.
42:28
Speaker 1: He did not desert him. And finally, he spoke to
42:32
Speaker 1: kings and the nobles. He stood before Pilate. And he said,
42:36
Speaker 1: my kingdom is not of this world. My kingdom is
42:42
Speaker 1: not of this world. Now look at it. There are
42:44
Speaker 1: so many other demographies. There are people that are especially, see, sometimes...
42:50
Speaker 1: We confuse ourselves with the body of Christ. The body
42:53
Speaker 1: of Christ is praying for prosperity, financial prosperity. So God
42:57
Speaker 1: anoints some people and says, go teach my people prosperity.
43:01
Speaker 1: So they start teaching. And then we say, that is
43:04
Speaker 1: not the gospel. I mean, some years ago, God told
43:07
Speaker 1: Bishop David in America, he said, get back home and
43:10
Speaker 1: make my people rich. And the result shows today. The
43:16
Speaker 1: divorce rate among believers is alarming. Lord, which way to go?
43:24
Speaker 1: So God anoints some people and gives them special revelation
43:29
Speaker 1: and insight in order to dissect marital issues among believers
43:35
Speaker 1: and provide biblical time-tested solutions. But we say preaching about
43:40
Speaker 1: marriage is not the gospel. What do we want? We say,
43:50
Speaker 1: why is it that when we go to this particular place,
43:53
Speaker 1: the people that occupy the seat of power, they're the Muslims.
43:57
Speaker 1: They're the people on the other side of the religion.
44:00
Speaker 1: And then why believers, they are treated as second class citizens.
44:06
Speaker 1: And then we begin to teach God annoys people to
44:09
Speaker 1: teach about marketplace engagement. How to contest for election right
44:15
Speaker 1: from the world level. Councilorship, House of Assembly, State Governorship,
44:19
Speaker 1: are you following me? House of Rep, Senate, Presidency. We say, no, no, no, no.
44:23
Speaker 1: Politics is a dirty game. If politics is a dirty game,
44:28
Speaker 1: we go there to make it clean. Because we are
44:30
Speaker 1: not dirty, we are clean. That's why we are the
44:33
Speaker 1: light of the world. Glory to God. That's why we
44:37
Speaker 1: are the light of the world. Is somebody getting something?
44:40
Speaker 1: Is somebody getting something? Say amen. Glory to God. So
44:45
Speaker 1: what do we want? The same way God annoys men.
44:51
Speaker 1: To minister to people with chronic sicknesses and diseases. He
44:56
Speaker 1: annoys people severally. To minister to different demographies. Do you
45:00
Speaker 1: know there are people today that are specially anointed to
45:04
Speaker 1: minister to drug addicts. Am I correct? You know, Dr.
45:08
Speaker 1: Tony Rappel, at his stance, you know, very tall in
45:10
Speaker 1: that case, drug addicts. And then, you minister to them. Now,
45:15
Speaker 1: that is impacting the landscape. Now, changing the culture. There
45:22
Speaker 1: is nothing wrong in holding business seminars in church. I'm
45:25
Speaker 1: saying it live. This is a global church. I'm saying
45:27
Speaker 1: it before camera. There is nothing wrong Teaching people time-tested
45:33
Speaker 1: biblical principles of business. All most of the parables of
45:38
Speaker 1: Jesus revolved around economy. And somebody come and say, you
45:52
Speaker 1: don't need God to prosper. So I need Satan to prosper.
45:57
Speaker 1: I wish above all things that Satan may prosper. I'm
46:00
Speaker 1: being held even as I'm so prosperous. It was made
46:04
Speaker 1: poor so that we might be rich. The church must
46:07
Speaker 1: wake up. Tell somebody, say the church must wake up.
46:10
Speaker 1: Say it again, say the church must wake up. Say
46:13
Speaker 1: it again, say the church must wake up. The Lord
46:16
Speaker 1: showed me something in the spirit now. I see some
46:22
Speaker 1: people here. You are catching visions to invade some landscapes. Education.
46:31
Speaker 1: The ed sector. You are so angry and annoyed as
46:34
Speaker 1: I'm preaching. That Jesus poured the oil on me. There's
46:39
Speaker 1: going to be a dramatic change there. The Lord said
46:42
Speaker 1: I should tell you that the oil is on you
46:44
Speaker 1: right now. Take the oil right now. Receive it right now.
46:52
Speaker 1: Receive it right now. In the name of Jesus. Hospitality business.
46:59
Speaker 1: We're talking about the seven mountains of influence. That is
47:04
Speaker 1: a stream of ministers that specialize in knocking and bashing
47:10
Speaker 1: the seven mountains of influence. And I said, well, that's
47:16
Speaker 1: not a gospel. I'm going to show you something this evening.
47:22
Speaker 1: When we are talking about changing landscape, you need not
47:25
Speaker 1: to have a retrospective overview of how the landscape of
47:30
Speaker 1: the body of Christ was in the 60s and in
47:34
Speaker 1: the 70s. When believers were referred to as torturates. Torturates.
47:46
Speaker 1: And Archbishop Benson and the others came. These are ministries
47:50
Speaker 1: that change landscapes. But back then, with this flowing, I
47:55
Speaker 1: got a gown. I said, you can ask God for
47:59
Speaker 1: big things. It does not reduce him. The mindset began
48:06
Speaker 1: to shift. The mentality began to shift. Can you imagine?
48:12
Speaker 1: I mean, in those days, how could a believer ever
48:15
Speaker 1: think that he could own a car? He could own
48:17
Speaker 1: a house. Believers were tenants. But my scripture tells me
48:23
Speaker 1: that in the early church, as many as were owners
48:28
Speaker 1: of lands and houses is there. There were landlords who
48:34
Speaker 1: were doing real estate big time. We need to wake up.
48:39
Speaker 1: There are places in the Western world that there is
48:46
Speaker 1: 24 hour obscene, pornographic, operation. There are media houses. Can
48:55
Speaker 1: you imagine? Can you imagine? You're advertising a car. You
49:01
Speaker 1: want to sell a car. Or you want to sell microphone.
49:06
Speaker 1: In order to sell that microphone, for this thing to
49:09
Speaker 1: sell very fast, you need to bring a woman that
49:13
Speaker 1: is half naked. What is the connection? Those things we
49:20
Speaker 1: lie there if we don't arise. You see, I see
49:27
Speaker 1: in this church, I see people holding universities. I see
49:32
Speaker 1: people holding hotels. I see international diplomats. I say it
49:39
Speaker 1: in the spirit. I'm saying it prophetically. I'm saying it
49:42
Speaker 1: as I'm saying it now. I say building hospitals, factories,
49:47
Speaker 1: captains of industry, employers of labor. And we are going
49:52
Speaker 1: to change the landscape. We are going to implant a
49:56
Speaker 1: landscape that this is how it is done. I love men.
50:02
Speaker 1: Men who change landscapes are rugged. They are bold. Okay.
50:10
Speaker 1: They are what?
50:11
Speaker 2: They are bored. Glory to God.
50:24
Speaker 1: Wave your hands. Just lift your hands. And begin to
50:27
Speaker 1: catch your own vision now. Catch the flow now. That
50:33
Speaker 1: is the landscape you are invading. And the purpose of
50:37
Speaker 1: the ministry is to equip you for it. To equip
50:40
Speaker 1: you for it. Hospitality business. Agriculture. Real estate. Mention them.
51:05
Speaker 1: I speak prophetically. There are people here that we own airlines.
51:19
Speaker 1: They are here. They are here. I'm speaking it. I'm
51:23
Speaker 1: calling it forth into existence. They are here. Spirit of
51:27
Speaker 1: light church, you are blessed. Begin to call forth right now.
51:33
Speaker 1: In Jesus name we pray. God took over my message.
51:53
Speaker 1: This prophetic. And it's in connection with the prayer that
51:56
Speaker 1: God said to pray for you, sir. Listen to this.
51:58
Speaker 1: You know, I see that some of you here In
52:01
Speaker 1: less than 10, 15 years, you will decide that you
52:05
Speaker 1: want to withdraw your money from some banks that will
52:07
Speaker 1: be begging you to be sent out by delegations. I
52:11
Speaker 1: see you in the banking sector. See, as I'm speaking
52:16
Speaker 1: it forth, it's coming to pass. It's coming to pass.
52:21
Speaker 1: It is the word of the Lord. There is an
52:24
Speaker 1: anointing for it. I see politicians here. I see diplomats here.
52:31
Speaker 1: I see captains of industry here. We are in front
52:34
Speaker 1: of the landscapes. Pray the Holy Ghost. Pray the Holy Ghost.
52:41
Speaker 1: Pray the Holy Ghost. Pray the Holy Ghost. Pastor Shalom,
52:51
Speaker 1: please help me. Pray the Holy Ghost. Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray.
52:59
Speaker 1: Please come, come on. In Jesus' name we pray. Hear
53:02
Speaker 1: this prophetic word. As I stood there, as I was
53:05
Speaker 1: about coming down, the Lord said he's releasing the anointing
53:10
Speaker 1: for peace setting on your life. And this base setting
53:29
Speaker 1: is not just for ministry, but for every stream, every
53:33
Speaker 1: structure and system in the world. In other words, members
53:37
Speaker 1: of Spirit of Light Church will be base setters everywhere.
53:42
Speaker 1: Base setters everywhere. Base setters everywhere. I see people here
53:49
Speaker 1: in this church. In less than one year, you'll be
53:52
Speaker 1: completing a thousand buildings. You'll be building for God. For
53:58
Speaker 1: those of you in the building industry, receive the grace
54:02
Speaker 1: for it now. Receive the grace for it now. In
54:07
Speaker 1: the name of Jesus. This is a house of excellence.
54:11
Speaker 1: I don't speak casually. I don't speak if he has
54:14
Speaker 1: not spoken to me. Be certain. You are setting the pace.
54:20
Speaker 1: You are setting the pace. You are setting the pace.
54:24
Speaker 1: I see many of your workers, many of them, they
54:26
Speaker 1: are masters, PhD holders, they are international people, millionaires among them,
54:31
Speaker 1: but they are so humble. They are men and women
54:34
Speaker 1: of honor. You are setting the pace. You are a pastor,
54:37
Speaker 1: a governor. You are a pastor, president of nations. Doors
54:41
Speaker 1: of nations will open to you. I'm saying it by
54:44
Speaker 1: the oil that God has placed upon my life. It's
54:47
Speaker 1: resting on you right now. In the name of Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1: word of the Lord. Shandekuriya. Kings will stand before you.
56:47
Speaker 1: One more thing. I see what the Lord is doing
56:49
Speaker 1: in your ministry now. As a connective link. To something greater.
57:13
Speaker 1: And this is the word of the Lord. The Lord
57:15
Speaker 1: is impacting wisdom. To you. You will design the prophetic steps.
57:21
Speaker 1: To take. At every stage. To connect the gig sod.
57:26
Speaker 1: Until you arrive at the bigger picture. It's called apostolic wisdom.
57:30

58:14
Speaker 1: Men and women in this house, the Lord said, there
58:16
Speaker 1: are usses and chariots of this world. We will not
58:18
Speaker 1: be able to compete with them. Like the hand of
58:22
Speaker 1: God rested upon Elijah. And he gathered up his loins
58:26
Speaker 1: and he outran Ahab to the entrance of Israel. I
58:29
Speaker 1: see the hand of God coming upon people. Divine speed.
58:35
Speaker 1: divine speed. The biggest names, permit me to use that word,
58:42
Speaker 1: in the context of society, the biggest names in all
58:45
Speaker 1: industries will be found in this church. They will be
58:50
Speaker 1: found in this church. I see people here owning banks.
58:56
Speaker 1: You will be lending donations. I mean, you will be
59:00
Speaker 1: bailing people out of deficits, of bankruptcy. Because the anointing
