Our Generation Must Demonstrate the Power of God – Apostle Joshua Selman · Selah Media House

• 0:00
  I am personally. Tired.
• 0:03
  Of every talking. About Apostle Babalola.
• 0:05
  He's dead. As Bishop Benson Hidahosa, He's
• 0:10
  dead. But you are.
• 0:11
  Alive you. And the God.
• 0:15
  That empowered him. He's alive forever.
• 0:19
  We talk a lot and sometimes we. Use it.
• 0:21
  To just go cheap points. Oh, Once Upon a.
• 0:24
  Time Abu Subabalola. He marched a rock and an Angel.
• 0:28
  There's the. Imprint there Mr. Man.
• 0:31
  If the Bible says Jesus Christ, the.
• 0:32
  Same yesterday. What is the testimony?
• 0:35
  Of our own generation. You see they captured.
• 0:40
  Dimensions of God. And immortalized their impact.
• 0:44
  Even though they've. Gone.
• 0:45
  We cannot forget them because. An imprint of their encounter.
• 0:49
  Remains upon the earth this generation must.
• 0:52
  Also have something? That our children will say.
• 0:55
  If you. Doubt that this our fathers knew
• 0:57
  God. This is the evidence they found.
• 1:00
  Him they trapped a dimension. Of his power I'm just imagining
• 1:06
  in my mind that suddenly Jesus were to appear here and then
• 1:10
  some of the. Patriarchs and imagine.
• 1:12
  That Paul just collected the mic.
• 1:14
  From me. I'm not idolizing.
• 1:17
  Him you will be. Surprised.
• 1:19
  My goodness Paul, these were guys that will be preaching.
• 1:23
  Someone will fall and die. They will raise the person up
• 1:26
  and continue the lecture. Power exceeding greatness.
• 1:30
  Of his power. Steps into a.
• 1:35
  Land and. Sees a damsel with the.
• 1:37
  Spirit of divination. Most of us who?
• 1:40
  Partner with the girl. Immediately making ministry.
• 1:43
  Easy. But by discernment, he said no,
• 1:45
  something is wrong. Got that demon?
• 1:47
  Out immediately. That you caught a man, ladies
• 1:52
  and gentlemen. Now please don't feel offended,
• 1:55
  but imagine that someone was kidnapped.
• 1:57
  And. Physically, angels came.
• 1:59
  He's not know what happened in Acts chapter 12.
• 2:02
  Came and picked him all the. People were like.
• 2:04
  Dead men. Picked him, walked away with.
• 2:06
  Him. Imagine.
• 2:07
  That someone is. Missing and.
• 2:08
  While you are praying, he knocks.
• 2:10
  The door and. Says I just.
• 2:11
  Came out of. Somewhere in Nassaraba State.
• 2:13
  Who brought you out? An Angel You will most.
• 2:16
  Likely not believe. We talk a lot about angels
• 2:21
  because we have not seen them. Some of us the day you see an
• 2:24
  Angel. You will cast the Angel and pray
• 2:25
  that you will never. Come again?
• 2:30
  I'm. Priming your hunger.
• 2:32
  We need to press for more, I'm telling you.
• 2:35
  Let's stop recycling shadows around ourselves.
• 2:40
  The. Kind of end time ministry.
• 2:42
  God is mandating that will. Bring him glory will have to.
• 2:45
  Be a display of. Power beyond shouting, beyond
• 2:49
  falling down. Beyond rolling those.
• 2:51
  Things are elementary. Levels.
• 2:53
  There are weightier dimensions where God.
• 2:56
  Sends a man to a family for two days.
• 2:59
  As you step into that family, everything.
• 3:02
  Literally. What is wrong with this?
• 3:07
  Man cancer stage. 4. I bring you life.
• 3:10
  Stand up immediately. That someone will go to the.
• 3:15
  Hospitals. I know we we, we chant it like a
• 3:18
  recitation and leave it there. You want to see God glorify?
• 3:22
  One genuine. Display of his.
• 3:24
  Power, I tell. You we'll bring more souls.
• 3:27
  Than many. Crusades combine.
• 3:29
  It is true. Listen if the call of God is
• 3:34
  upon your life. Here, listen, don't be in a
• 3:37
  hurry to just. Jump into.
• 3:38
  Ministry, the bar has gone higher.
• 3:42
  That thing you. Think will bring members you.
• 3:43
  Will waste your time. People are.
• 3:45
  Hungry. Thirsty.
• 3:46
  Desperate, they want. To see the.
• 3:49
  Living God. Because other idols are now.
• 3:52
  Convincing them. They have gone to some idols
• 3:55
  somewhere. There is 100 year old deity in
• 3:59
  the village somewhere. Even though you are telling them
• 4:01
  not to serve idols but every time they are hungry the idol
• 4:05
  gave them food. Now you are saying there is a
• 4:07
  God that is above them. They are saying show it all.
• 4:10
  Let there be a manifestation. Let there be a manifestation.
• 4:18
  My grandmother had children. They would say 2526 children.
• 4:23
  As one woman because of. Her.
• 4:26
  Worship to that. Idol.
• 4:30
  And now you come carrying your Bible, your concordance, and you
• 4:34
  say I am a new. Creation in Christ, my brother
• 4:37
  demonstrated before you are made a graduate there is.
• 4:41
  Something called defense. Huh.
• 4:45
  So all your topics. And all your.
• 4:46
  Learning you sit before those who accredit you.
• 4:49
  And they? Listen to you.
• 4:52
  While you speak and say all kinds.
• 4:54
  Of things, they ask you a few questions, then it's OK, fine.
• 4:57
  Most of us. That interview you.
• 5:00
  See, we have failed it again and again and again because you've
• 5:03
  not been able to bring defense to the name of the Lord.
• 5:08
  Come and manifest your power. Come and manifest your power.
• 5:21
  Come and manifest your power. Hallelujah.
• 5:56
  Spectacular. Manifestations of His.
• 5:58
  Power Spectacular. Manifestations of His glory.
• 6:05
  Do you know what happens when your?
• 6:06
  Word truly becomes like the word of God that when you speak to.
• 6:11
  People, they know it will come to pass.
• 6:14
  Because you told them that you come from his presence.
• 6:17
  When Zechariah doubted. Gabriel, he said.
• 6:22
  I am Gabriel that stands in the presence.
• 6:25
  Of God will I come. From his presence with
• 6:27
  falsehood, it's an insult to his.
• 6:30
  Presence. You mean his presence could not
• 6:32
  judge falsehood? And I arrived here with
• 6:35
  falsehood. I am Gabriel.
• 6:37
  If you don't. Respect me.
• 6:38
  Respect. Where I'm coming from.
• 6:40
  I. Stand in the.
• 6:41
  Presence of God. Not everybody can stand in his
• 6:46
  presence, so I am Gabriel. I've been given access to stand
• 6:51
  in his. Presence there is a.
• 6:53
  Purifying that. His presence does.
• 6:55
  There is no guile in my lips. If I bring you a word, trust it.
• 6:59
  And most of us claim not just that by standing in His
• 7:02
  presence. We say he's in us, but the truth
• 7:04
  is the results don't show. I'm imagining what?
• 7:07
  More Koinonia can do. For the glory of God, what more
• 7:11
  we can do, ladies and gentlemen. That we are.
• 7:14
  Able to host God in such a way demonstrate the reality of God.
• 7:19
  Here and. Now without making all.
• 7:21
  Kinds of noise, noise that. Does not have proof.
• 7:28
  It is true that people are getting healed, but what of
• 7:31
  those dying without getting healed?
• 7:34
  And we know it is not their time.
• 7:37
  It is true that people are prospering, but what?
• 7:40
  About the multitudes of genuine God lovers who keeps shouting.
• 7:45
  Amen to prophetic words every week.
• 7:47
  To a point. Right now, that prophecy.
• 7:49
  Has become an object of mockery within the.
• 7:52
  Intellectual and Economic Community.
• 7:55
  Justifiably so, because it's not yielded any result.
• 8:00
  Nobody would dare despise prophesying if you have.
• 8:04
  Empirical proof. That by prophecy you help to.
• 8:08
  Navigate someone's life. Towards prosperity.
• 8:11
  Nobody will laugh at it, but right now?
• 8:12
  It's become an issue of mockery, justifiably so.
• 8:15
  Receive. Amen Receive Amen Receive Amen
• 8:19
  next time the. Person cannot come to church.
• 8:21
  Because he's in jail. It did not work.
• 8:28
  How may things change in the name of Jesus when people lift
• 8:33
  their hands and shout Amen, they only hope that it works because
• 8:37
  they have a record of disappointments, and that
• 8:40
  disappointment has. Pierced their hearts.
• 8:42
  Too many times I don't blame people when they say receive and
• 8:45
  they're just watching Let's round up please and leave this
• 8:48
  place. There's a.
• 8:50
  Track record. Of the.
• 8:52
  Seeming importancy. Of the world as it comes from
• 8:56
  the lips of we who claim to be His servants.
• 8:59
  We need to step up the bar. I can.
• 9:01
  Tell you one thing for sure. The power of God is as real as
• 9:04
  it was in the Bible, and I'm praying.
• 9:07
  Join me in that. Prayer.
• 9:08
  I'm praying. That in our lifetime God will
• 9:12
  allow us by His. Mercy to be able to host.
• 9:15
  Greater. Dimensions of his power.
• 9:17
  That will. Demonstrate it here.
• 9:19
  And now? That he's alive, you believe.
• 9:22
  That say Amen. You believe it will happen
• 9:24
  through you. Say Amen.
• 9:27
  Ladies and gentlemen, if just to walk on your mind, imagine that
• 9:34
  Jesus appeared to you now, and place his hand upon your hand,
• 9:38
  and said, every sick body you know who is about to die, if you
• 9:43
  love. Them go and.
• 9:44
  Place this hand, you know you will not be tired.
• 9:46
  Some of you will run straight to.
• 9:49
  Our general. Hospitals because there's.
• 9:51
  Someone you love so much whiz about living.
• 9:54
  But do you know that there are people now?
• 9:57
  I'm just challenging. You.
• 9:58
  This an Apostolic ministry. You don't go to the.
• 10:00
  Hospital to tell the doctor what is is right.
• 10:03
  With you, you tell the doctor what is.
• 10:05
  Wrong so they will correct it. You know how many prayer?
• 10:09
  Chains are happening. Over sick people right now while
• 10:12
  they are. Deteriorating till they.
• 10:14
  Die and yet prayer. Chain is happening.
• 10:16
  Go and read the Bible. What happened?
• 10:18
  When they created. A prayer chain.
• 10:20
  Angels came. Things changed.
• 10:22
  Where are those? Angels, they don't.
• 10:25
  Know the address to Nigeria or the nation is so sinful that
• 10:29
  they can't come I'm. Tired of the status quo.
• 10:37
  There's got to be more than this.
• 10:40
  I'm tired of the status quo. There's got to be more than
• 10:46
  this. There's someone learning.
• 11:05
  Thank God for what He's helped us do.
• 11:08
  But I'm praying that. We'll be that generation.
• 11:10
  That will be. Honest with ourselves, not
• 11:13
  condemning ourselves. But knowing that the bar has
• 11:16
  been lifted in the Spirit and we are largely short of it, we need
• 11:20
  to go back to God and say show us the formula, the real formula
• 11:25
  that. Controls the arrival of genuine
• 11:28
  Apostolic power. Because for many people, we have
• 11:31
  tried, we have tried and just touched.
• 11:33
  We are smelling. Smoke, but the.
• 11:35
  Food that comes. From the kitchen, we've not.
• 11:38
  Been able to hold it. We just suspect that you've been
• 11:41
  around the kitchen, but where is the substance of that?
• 11:44
  Reality Are we together? Now it's.
• 11:48
  Hopeful when you. See someone smelling smoke?
• 11:50
  It means. You are closer to the kitchen.
• 11:52
  But I think. You are not going to eat smoke.
• 11:54
  You will be. Hungry and you are waiting for
• 11:56
  the. Meal and some people have been
• 11:58
  waiting. Forever.
• 11:59
  I'm praying. That there are people who will.
• 12:02
  Pass. Be beyond the layer.
• 12:04
  Of religion and get to that point where you can take
• 12:07
  something of spiritual substance and bring to a.
• 12:10
  Generation. And say by mercy I have found.
• 12:13
  It the key. To an authentic healing
• 12:16
  ministry. The key to an authentic
• 12:19
  deliverance. The key to authentic.
• 12:21
  Breakthrough May God push you. To that RAM.
• 12:25
  In the name of Jesus Christ. Are we learning now?
• 12:29
  Please sit down the man who was. Writing about the.
• 12:32
  Power of God was not. Naive in the things.
• 12:37
  Of power, Paul. Was one person who did not just.
• 12:41
  Demonstrate power he was. The one who touched.
• 12:44
  The body of Christ, the dimensions.
• 12:46
  And the administration of spiritual.
• 12:48
  Power. Very.
• 12:49
  Few of the apostles touched the subject of power because.
• 12:52
  It was a. Very delicate subject.
• 12:55
  He required maturity and. Experience.
• 12:58
  There are very, very few. The only other.
• 13:00
  Person who? Really.
• 13:01
  Spoke about. Power was Peter.
• 13:05
  But Paul Single. Handedly carried this doctrine
• 13:09
  of power and taught the. Corinthian Church.
• 13:11
  Arranged the manifestations. Of the gift of the Spirit.
• 13:14
  Showed why certain. Things were not working, Paul
• 13:17
  for you. It is the same Paul who is
• 13:19
  teaching. The church in.
• 13:20
  Ephesus now unto. Him who is able, say it again.
• 13:25
  God is able. One more time.
• 13:27
  Say God is able. Say He's able to do.
• 13:32
  Say he's able to do. Yes, to do means to lift.
• 13:38
  He's able to do means he's able to restore.
• 13:41
  He's. Able to bring laughter, he's
• 13:43
  able to heal. That someone who is right now
• 13:46
  dying. God has the power.
• 13:48
  To lift him from the bed of affliction, Do you?
• 13:50
  Believe that I remember it was said that Smith Wigglesworth if
• 13:56
  I recall that. Someone had passed.
• 13:59
  On and he carried the person jacked him up and.
• 14:03
  Punched the person. Once the person fell down like a
• 14:06
  pack of card, carried the person a second time, jacked him up,
• 14:10
  said in the name of Jesus. The third time, the person
• 14:12
  sneezed and came back. To life power.
• 14:17
  No noise, genuine results. Maria Woodward Etide was told
• 14:23
  that she was in a conference like this and there were all
• 14:26
  kinds of people mocking her. Mocking her and laughing at her.
• 14:30
  And she simply said, the Lord judge you and one of them, the
• 14:33
  tongue protruded like cancer. Stage 4.
• 14:36
  Imagine cancer of the mouth. Like that is.
• 14:38
  Dead like that, brethren prayed, and nothing happened.
• 14:43
  He was told that. They had to come.
• 14:45
  Seek her pizzle, apologize to her and all she did was to slap
• 14:48
  the tongue and it went down. Men not, not angels.
• 14:52
  These are people. Who walked upon the earth
• 14:54
  documented I have watched some of the.
• 14:57
  Videos of these. People I.
• 14:58
  Remember it was a a Allen I think it was.
• 15:01
  A gentleman. Who had polio?
• 15:03
  It was very widespread those days.
• 15:06
  Look at the genuine miracle you would watch.
• 15:09
  ATL Osborne Crusade. And you would see, literally
• 15:12
  see. Metallic bracelets where people.
• 15:15
  Came to the crusade. With a significant part of their
• 15:18
  feet. Shorter than the.
• 15:19
  Other. They would not need the bracelet
• 15:22
  the the you know, whatever it is again and they will throw it.
• 15:25
  I'm talking about healing miracles, not to talk of nature
• 15:29
  miracles that they would. Tell them hurricanes.
• 15:32
  And all kinds of nature disasters were coming and they
• 15:35
  would stand single handedly not in a radio station they would.
• 15:39
  Reverse it and it will pass. Question.
• 15:45
  Is it really the will of God for?
• 15:47
  Hurricanes and tornadoes to come and.
• 15:50
  Destroy people, destroy their means of livelihood, and here we
• 15:54
  are, believers saying we have been crowned with.
• 15:56
  Glory. And honor and.
• 15:59
  Yet we are. Prayerful, but it's not
• 16:01
  producing the power required. It's not to.
• 16:04
  Discourage you to. Stop.
• 16:05
  It's just to let you know that a bar has been lifted in the
• 16:08
  spirit and I'm here to. Call you tonight.
• 16:11
  In the name of Jesus Christ, that God is saying.
• 16:14
  Stop celebrating shadows. Let's press for.
• 16:17
  Substance. There is a level of God's.
• 16:20
  Glory, we need to be revealed. I have seen.
• 16:23
  People healed. I have.
• 16:25
  Seen the manifestations? Of God's.
• 16:27
  Power and for. Those that received those
• 16:29
  miracles, I know how we translated to.
• 16:32
  Salvation over their families. Listen to me.
• 16:37
  Evangelism is very difficult for us today because there is no
• 16:41
  evidence. And we have created.
• 16:44
  All kinds of theological excuses to explain away the.
• 16:48
  Power of God. Do you know?
• 16:49
  There is no generation that talks.
• 16:51
  About power More. Than our generation.
• 16:54
  And yet we don't see it, truly. Everything power.
• 16:58
  Everything power. We have abused the word.
• 17:04
  Sounds irritating. To the ears of an.
• 17:06
  Intelligent. Person because it's like a
• 17:08
  mockery of ourselves. But May God restore, May God
• 17:13
  restore, May God restore that you come to.
• 17:16
  Someone's house. And the person tells you, you
• 17:18
  know what? All of us just lost our job.
• 17:21
  Husband and wife. And we still love God in the
• 17:23
  midst of it. You say, I know we love Jesus
• 17:25
  beyond that. But I am a child of God, a
• 17:28
  transmitter of his life. Let me bring you a reality
• 17:32
  beyond economy, a reality beyond banking and finance.
• 17:36
  In the name of Jesus, I deposit the life of God in this house
• 17:40
  and you walk away and before you get home the person is calling
• 17:43
  you. I said I don't know what you
• 17:45
  did. Do you think people will even
• 17:47
  allow you to rest the way we? Label over publicity.
• 17:53
  Begging people to come to. Church should it?
• 17:56
  Shows you that our formula should be suspicious.
• 18:00
  It was never supposed to be that.
• 18:01
  Way the abundance of the demonstration of the.
• 18:05
  Spirit. Is the authorized way.
• 18:08
  To draw people to Jesus. Draw people to Jesus that I'm.
• 18:14
  Speaking now as. Someone is seated.
• 18:17
  And then you get a. Text message.
• 18:18
  Your family members are in the order to call you.
• 18:21
  Where are you? You see, I'm in charge.
• 18:22
  They say you. Need to pick.
• 18:23
  What happened? Just to let you know that Baba
• 18:26
  on a. Wheelchair has.
• 18:27
  Stood up at home? You mean it?
• 18:30
  Yes, he stood up after five years of being.
• 18:34
  On the wheelchair. Come on now.
• 18:37
  So where you say church? What kind of?
• 18:38
  Church is that let. Me tell you.
• 18:40
  Human beings are so. Desperate for results, they
• 18:43
  honestly don't care who produces it.
• 18:46
  For some of them, they are willing to get it from Satan and
• 18:49
  ask for forgiveness later on. They are that.
• 18:51
  Desperate. Don't play with the intelligence
• 18:55
  of an enlightened. Generation and keep.
• 18:57
  Stimulating their expectations. And then they do not get the
• 19:01
  substance of it. This is my.
• 19:03
  Call that Joshua. Selma, you need to step.
• 19:06
  Up the bar higher than this that when we say God said the.
• 19:10
  Nations will respect it because there is.
• 19:12
  Power that. Bats his speakings.
• 19:15
  Lay your hands on your head in one minute and cry.
• 19:17
  Lord, I am available. Invest greater levels of Your
• 19:21
  power upon my life. Someone is praying.
• 19:25
  Yeah.
