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

- 2:48:04Speaker 2: And I pray that, based on the authority of Scripture,
- 2:48:07Speaker 2: that there are sins before giving from this moment, and
- 2:48:10Speaker 2: that in the name of Jesus, they are bona fide
- 2:48:13Speaker 2: recipients of your life and power to live the victorious
- 2:48:16Speaker 2: Christian life, knowing Jesus, loving Jesus, and living for Him
- 2:48:21Speaker 2: all the days of their lives. I declare that the
- 2:48:24Speaker 2: power of sin, satan, hell, and the grave is broken

- 2:49:47Speaker 2: have all that time to pray during the day on Sunday.
- 2:49:50Speaker 2: Maximize the nighttime as soon as we work with the
- 2:49:53Speaker 2: media to make sure at least by maybe six or
- 2:49:56Speaker 2: seven pm Saturday, the prayer focus is there, and you
- 2:50:00Speaker 2: receive it, run with it, pray it into your heart
- 2:50:03Speaker 2: so that you become a manifestation of that with God desires.
