  Speaker 1: I would like you to ask one thing you want
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: God to do for you. What is your heart desire?
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: God has just a new thing for us here in
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the chapel of mercy. What is your own new thing
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: you want God to do for you? Today is the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: last day.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: The Bible says on the last day of the feast,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Jesus raised his voice and said, if anyone is thirsty,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: let him come.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: We have come. What is your own thirst? What is
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: your own hunger?
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: What is your own heart cry and desperation and passion
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Lift your voice and cry unto the Lord. I unto
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: the Lord, Lord, here am I. Do not pass me
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: by this afternoon. Visit me with your touch. Roll away
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: that burden. Don't away my.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: In Jesus' mighty name, we have prayed. Father, we want
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: to say thank you. There are things men can do
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: But there are certain things only God can do. And
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: this is one of such things, a manifestation of your
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: mercy and your grace. And we have come to say
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: thank you. We will never be too familiar with your presence,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: your power, your glory, your wisdom, your mercy. Lord, I
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: pray that this afternoon you will speak to our hearts
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: yet again. Give us understanding. Let someone return back with
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: a testimony. For in Jesus' mighty name we pray. God
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: bless you. Please give Jesus a big hand clap. Then
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: you may be seated.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Hallelujah.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Praise the name of the Lord. I want to start
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: this afternoon by truly, truly congratulating the Chapel of Mercy.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: In fact, the body of believers within the NIS. I
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: think it's really remarkable. I had the opportunity to know
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: when this was a dream. Without even, I'm not sure
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: that the first block was already laid. And to see
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: what God has done today, it is truly a marvel.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: It goes to tell you that when God speaks, he's
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: worth believing. Hallelujah. God will always do what he has said.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Genesis 21 verse 1. And the Lord visited Sarah as
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: he has said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: he has spoken. If God speaks, it is worth believing.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: It may not make sense, but it pays not just
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: to serve Jesus, it pays to believe him. Genesis 21, 1,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: not 31, 1, 21, verse 1. The Lord visited Sarah
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: as he has said, he did unto Sarah as as
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: he had spoken. Hallelujah. And truly, like Pastor Paul Maman
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: was saying, I think it's a very rare privilege for
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: the service to have, maybe not for me, but for
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: the fathers of faith. These are people who God has
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: truly graced, and in all fairness to them and in
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: honor to the grace upon their lives, It would take
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: a lot to have them pass through this place. And
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: so it is truly the mercy of God. It is
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: truly the mercy of God. Hallelujah. Amen. And I just
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: want to charge our hearts in this final session. Very
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: beautiful work that was done here. I remember the last
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: time I was here, we also used this place. But
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: it was still ongoing. Work was still ongoing, but... I mean,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: a very beautiful structure that has been put together. And
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: let me lend my voice with the leaders of the
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Chapel of Mercy to truly appreciate everyone whose one Naira,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: whose sweat, whose sacrifice went into this walk. The Lord himself,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: whom you have served, will honor you. In Jesus' name
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: we pray. Psalm 122 and verse 1, I just, the
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Lord stirred it in my heart to give a charge.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Many times we rejoice over the manifestations of the things
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: that the Lord makes happen in our lives. Could be
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: a structure like this, could be a home, a new family,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: could be children. It doesn't matter in what expression it comes.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Every time you read from scripture, when God delivers his
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: promise unto people, he will always leave a word of caution.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Because there is something about the human nature in the
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: presence of promises made manifest. Hallelujah. For instance, in Deuteronomy
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: chapter 8, when you read, he began to tell them,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: let it not be that when you have built houses,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: when you have everything, he listed all the wonderful things
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: they could have. He said, let it not be that
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: your heart will be lifted up and you will say
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: to yourself that the power and the might of my
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: hand had given me this. 18 says, Are we together?
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: There is something that happens to men in the presence
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: of results, in the presence of abundance. There is something
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: that happens to men when all their issues are solved.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: You see that pattern all through in the life of
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the nation of Israel. So here's how it usually starts.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: God will bring them abundant blessings. His promises made manifest.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: And then the presence of abundance and promises made manifest
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: will usually lead them to a state of complacency and slumber.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: And usually in the presence of abundance, they forget about
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: the God who brought all those things. And you'll notice
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: the progression. Eventually, they will be given to the hands
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: of their enemies. Hallelujah. And when they are given to
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: the hands of their enemies, they become slaves, they become slaves.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: you know, subjects to those nations and in the midst
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: of pain, usually they will remember or sometimes God can
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: show them mercy by sending a prophet to warn them
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: and say you have deviated from the ways of the Lord.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Then they will repent with fastings, you know, sackcloth and
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: ashes like it happened to Nineveh. And usually the moment
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: they repent according to God's mercy, He will send them deliverance.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Then they get back to abundance again. Then it moves
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: to complacency. You see the circle? So it starts with abundance,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: promises made manifest. Then the temptation is to forget God
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: and they feel they do not need God again. Then
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: in that state, they get back into the hands of
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: their enemies. In the midst of pain and lack, they
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: remember God. Then they cry for mercy. Then God shows up.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Then they return back again. Then the cycle continues. So
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: it is a weakness in all men that in the
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: presence of nothing, we easily remember God. In the presence
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: of pain, shame, disappointment, we easily remember God. And we remember,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: sometimes we make all kinds of vows. Lord, if you
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: do this, I will use it for this. Or if
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: you do this, I will do that in return. Hallelujah.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: So the Lord put a very simple charge in my heart,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: in addition to all that we have heard in the
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: course of the week. It is important for us to
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: know the purpose of every blessing that God brings in
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: our lives. I think it was Dr. Myles Munro... Of
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: blessed memory now who said. When the purpose of a
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: thing is not known. He says abuse is inevitable. The
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: word abuse. Comes from two words. Abnormal use. Every time
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: the purpose of a thing is not known. Abuse becomes inevitable. Hallelujah.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Praise the name of the Lord. There are. Certain drugs
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: for instance. And. and I'm happy I'm speaking to very
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: intelligent people, there are certain kinds of drugs that were
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: initially designed to solve certain health issues. Am I right
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: on that? But a few people found out that there
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: is a way they could manipulate those drugs to give
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: some kind of psychological succor that was not in the
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: original plan. So you can see someone holding a drug,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: perhaps a drug that was originally made to treat certain
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: things like drugs for cough, Drugs for whatever. And today
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: there are people who consume it beyond the dosage. It's
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: called abuse. You see that now. They have stretched beyond
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: the purpose of it. And anything God gives men can
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: be abused. Anything. Including salvation. Anything. Including a good family. Anything.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Including prosperity. Anything. Including health. My assignment by the Spirit
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: of the Lord is to help us to understand by
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: the Spirit the purpose for this answered prayer. Why did
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: God allow this kind of miracle to happen? Purpose is
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: what gives definition to everything we have. No matter what
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: you have in your life, if it is not connected
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: to purpose, it cannot bless you and it cannot bless God.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Bless the name of the Lord. Anything at all on
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: its own can really bless you and it cannot bring
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: blessings to the name of the Lord. It is when
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: the purpose of that thing is known. So let's go
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: back to our text. Psalm 122 and verse 1. If
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: we have it projected and you can see, I'm not
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: sure you'll be able to see, maybe too tiny. But
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: let me just read it here. It says, When they
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: said unto me, let us go into the house of
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: the Lord. The psalmist is speaking here. He says, I
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: was glad. Something made me happy when they told me,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: let's go to the house of the Lord. There are
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: many places that we can go to, but there is
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: something you only find in the house of the Lord.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Are we together? There are things you can find in
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: a library. There are things you can find in a museum.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: There are things you can find in the hospital. There
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: are things you can find in the market. I will
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: not come to church trying to buy tomato and pepper.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Will that be correct? No. They don't sell tomato and pepper.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: In fact, Jesus did something about those who were selling
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: and buying in the house of God. Am I right
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: on that? Yes. If I want to buy tomato, pepper
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: and all the ingredients for food, there is a designated place.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: It's called a market. Whether an open market or a
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: store or a mall. Are we together? I will not
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: go to a supermarket and ask them to treat malaria
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: or typhoid. It's a wrong place. Are we together now?
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: That is not the assignment of the market. I will
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: go to the hospital. So it's important for us to
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: know when we come to the house of the Lord,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: what was it designed to achieve? If it is true
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: that every destination and every platform has a purpose and
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: an assignment and we have agreed that you do not
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: go to look for food in a hospital, you do
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: not go to look for treatment in a restaurant. It
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: means that every time you are going to any location,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: there is an awareness of what that location was designed
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: to give you. Are we together? So the psalmist here says,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: I was glad when they said unto me. There was
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: an awareness that gladdened his heart. There was something he
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: was aware of that can only be found and only
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: be gotten in the house of God. And as a
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: final charge, if you keep this at the back of
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: your mind, then this place will truly remain a house
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: of God and it will remain a habitation of God's presence.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: But if you forget the purpose for which this was built,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: it can become a place where men will buy and sell.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Jesus entered the temple and he saw the temple. They
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: had changed its use. They were using it for something
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: that it was not originally designed for. He frowned at
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: it and even went to a point of making a
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: whip and began to throw the people away. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: So let me give you by the Spirit, the four
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: assignments of the house of God, including this building that
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: you see. Hallelujah. Anywhere, number one, anywhere, before you start writing,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: just for you to have this, it is not a
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: building that makes a place a house of God. The
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: first requirement for any place to be called the house
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: of God is that God must be honored in that place.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: And when I talk of God, let me say Jesus
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Christ because today when you mention God, it means many things.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: For someone, it means an idol. For someone, it means himself.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Are we together? There is no place, no matter how
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: beautifully decorated, that is qualified to be called the house
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: of God until that man is respected If I come
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: to your office, I don't expect you to give me
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: the respect in NIS here that will be greater than
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: that which you give your leaders. It is not my house.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: It's an office. If I come to make my passport,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I have to sit down where you ask me to sit.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: No matter how big a man I think I am.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Am I right on that? Because it is not my house.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: But you will know when I'm in my house because
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: I become the epicenter of the honor in my own house.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: I don't live like a stranger in my house. I
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: would usually not knock a door if it is my house.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I will open it because it is my house. So
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: when you call a place the house of God, and
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: then God becomes pushed to the side, and then men
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: become exalted, then it is not the house of God.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: If it is the house of God, God must become
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: the epicenter of that place. Is someone learning now? So
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: let's walk very quickly. Number one. The first assignment of
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: this place as the house of God is to become
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: a house of prayer for all nations. Mark 11 please.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: 15 to 17. If this place must remain a house
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: of God, if it must fulfill its assignment, then it
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: must be a house of prayer. And they come to
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Jerusalem and Jesus went into the temple and began to
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: cast out them that sold and bought in the temple
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: and overthrew the tables of the money changers. And the
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: seats of them that sold doves. We are reading to 17,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: 16 now. And would not suffer or permit. That any
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: man should carry any vessel through the temple. And then
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: he said this. Chapel of Mercy verse 17 now. He
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: taught saying. Is it not written. My house. Say my house.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Say God's house. Shall be called. Of all nations. The
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: house of prayer. He said, but you have made it.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: That means it is within your power to turn the
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: house of God to do something else. If this place
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: must fulfill its prophetic destiny as the house of God,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: here within the NIS, then it must perpetually become and
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: remain a house of prayer. A house of prayer. A
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: house of prayer. That everybody who comes here. Whether as
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: a leader. Or as a member. Must have this awareness.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: That the reason behind this blessing. Is that God has
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: found for himself. A place dedicated. Where men and women
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: will come to see his face. Where men and women
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: will come to pray. The first assignment of this great blessing.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Is that this place. must become and must remain eternally
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: a house of prayer if it is not the house
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: of prayer it will become a den of robbers and
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: you know what happens when robbers come they steal they
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: kill and they destroy and in the case of satan
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: he does not just steal things he steals years time
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: He steals peace. He steals joy. A physical thief may
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: not be able to steal. Yes or joy or peace.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: But Satan can steal anything at all. Including your life.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: So Chapel of Mercy, the first assignment of this glorious
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: gift that God has given you is that you must
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: pay whatever price to make sure that this place becomes
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: and it remains a house of prayer. This must inform
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: the kind of leaders that are selected here. This must
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: inform the kinds of programs that are designed here. This
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: must inform the kind of allowance, the kind of consecration
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: that is hallowed within this place. A house of prayer.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Jesus had a lot to say about prayer. He spoke
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: a parable to the end that men ought always to
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: pray and not to faint. Are we together? 1 Thessalonians 5.17
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: He says pray without ceasing. Means pray all the time.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Be consistent in your prayer. He said, what things so
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that thou receivest
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: them and thou shalt have them. Prayer is a pivotal
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: part of the believer's life. A pivotal part of the
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: believer's life. It's part of the apostolic model that was left.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: By the early church. In Acts chapter 2 and verse 42.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: The Bible says they continued steadfastly. In the apostles doctrine.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: And in fellowship. And in breaking of bread. And in prayer.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Acts chapter 6 and verse 4. We will give ourselves
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: continually to prayer. And to the ministry of the word.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: You must obtain grace to pray. That this place can
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: be so consecrated. That when someone is about to lose
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: his job unfairly. They know where to run to. Not
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: the police station. That when someone is about to be
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: victimized because he's a Christian. Working in integrity. Finally you
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: have found a place. that when someone's family is about
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: to be shredded into pieces, there is something happening, the
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: plague and the yoke of witchcraft. Anybody who comes within
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: the NIS vicinity and says, listen, things have not been
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: going well in my life. My life looks like I'm
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: about to die. There's all kinds of family witchcraft. You
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: can tell them there is a place God built for himself.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: A place where God has dedicated to be a house of.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Metemakona. Metemakona. Metemakona.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Metemakona. I think it was one time when I visited
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: this place. I taught you that prayerlessness is pride. The
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: highest demonstration of pride is to be prayerless. It means
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: you have declared that you do not need the assistance
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: of heaven. It's a declaration of self-sufficiency. Prayerlessness is not
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: just a proof of laxity spiritually. It is pride. The
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: variables that are required for a man to excel in
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: his life are so many. And unassisted, you do not
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: have control of many of those factors. For instance, you
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: cannot control who likes or hates you. It takes God
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: to assist men to like or hate you. Is that true?
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: So when you refuse to pray, you are declaring that God,
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: I do not need you. I have invented a way
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: of replacing your value in my life. House of Mercy,
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: if this is to be the house of God and
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: to fulfill its prophetic destiny, I repeat one last time, ensure, insist,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: create principles around this. Whether you are here or not,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: whether you retire and leave or not, leave a testimony
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: that whoever mans the helm of leadership in this place,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: they must enter a covenant with Jehovah that on no
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: account will this place lose its ministry as a place
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: of prayer. Number two, the second assignment of this place
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: that God has so given you is that if it
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: is to be the house of God and to fulfill
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: its prophetic destiny in this place, it must become and
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: remain a place of revelation, understanding, and transformation. Please write
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: it down. It must become a place of revelation, understanding,
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: and transformation. If the chapel of mercy does not fulfill
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: this assignment, it has failed. In his prophetic destiny. It
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: must become and remain. A place of revelation. A place
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: of understanding. A place of transformation. Psalm 73 and verse 17.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: There are places that when you enter. You have understanding.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Because the spirit of grace is there. It says until
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: I went into the sanctuary of God. Then understood I.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: There are things you cannot understand until you come into
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: the house of God. There are mysteries you cannot understand
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: until you come into the house of God. Don't say
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: I went to school. No. The kind of orientation you
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: receive in the house of God is more than physics
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: and chemistry. It's more than intelligence and diplomacy. As important
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: as those things are, there is a superior understanding that
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: is only found when scriptures are open. Hallelujah. Are we together?
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: 1 Timothy chapter 3, I believe, from verse 14 and 15.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: The Bible calls the house of God, the church of
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: the Lord Jesus Christ, and it also calls it the
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: ground and the pillar of truth. Please give it to us.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: 1 Timothy chapter 3, I believe. 1 Timothy 3, let's
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: try it, 14 and 15. Did I get that right?
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Go to verse 14. Okay, beautiful. It says, these things
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: I write unto you hoping to come to thee shortly.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Verse 15. I wish we could read it together. It says,
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: but if I tarry long that thou mayest know how
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: which is, no, no, no, just stay at 15. The
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: house of God which is the church of the living God.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: What else? It is the pillar and the ground of truth.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: You are permitted to hear lies any other place except
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: the house of God. The house of God is not
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: where people should come and be flattered, be told a lie,
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: be misled, be deceived simply because you want human gains.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: This is where people must hear the truth in love.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: The truth about the need to live a holy and
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: a righteous life. The truth about the need to love
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Jesus and exalt Him above all. The truth about the
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: need to love Him beyond money, beyond titles, beyond whatever.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: The truth must be found here. That means you must
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: not politicize what happens within this place. With all due respect,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: these are some of the things that dampen the truth.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: I rather remain poor and stand true than to have
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: abundance at the expense of truth. Hallelujah. It then means
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: if this place must become a ground and a pillar
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: of truth, with all due respect, you must hallow your
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: altar and know the kind of voices that stand here.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Popular does not mean spiritual.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: No.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Articulate does not mean spiritual. We need to manage our
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: altars and sit with that the sanctity of the altar
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: is preserved at all costs. I love and respect politicians,
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: but many of them tell lies. You have to be
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: careful so they don't come and stand up and pollute
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: your altar with all kinds of nonsense because of money
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: that will come in. I say this with all due respect.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: It's important they understand that the house of God is
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: not a cinema center. That the house of God is
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: not some movie place. No. If you want to lie
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: you can go outside. If you want to repent you
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: are welcome to the house of God. Say Amen. Hallelujah.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: The pillar and the ground of truth. You must love
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: the Lord and love his truth. Beyond any material blessing
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: any man can offer. Satan came to Jesus... And he said,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: turn these stones to bread. Jesus said, no, no, no, no, no.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Fall from a holy place. The angels will keep you.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: He said, no, no, no, no, no. Bow to me
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: and I will give you all of this. The church
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: should never be a place of compromise. Don't replace the
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: altar because of a search and a pursuit for mundane things.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I am a preacher that believes in teaching the whole
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: counsel of God. Prosperity, healing. righteousness, everything. But all truth
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: do not hold equal value. There are truths according to
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: scripture that are emphasized more than others. I will not
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: teach prosperity to match the same passion as salvation. No,
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: they do not hold the same value. Are we together?
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: In order of priority, I would rather you meet a
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: dying man. What that man needs is a message of
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: the gospel and to be saved. How be the gospel
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: about prosperity, healing and the rest, they are important. But
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: their value from an eternal standpoint is not the same.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: So if this place is to become a place of
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: transformation and understanding, Truth must be arranged line upon line
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: so that there is no exaggeration and there is no de-emphasizing.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: The whole counsel of God must be presented. That is
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: the wisdom that is used in cooking in a kitchen.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Is that true? Women, when you go to cook, you
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: don't put the same quantity of rice as the same
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: quantity of salt. But salt is needed. If you put
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: one module of rice and one module of salt, you
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: did not cook well. Or one moudou of rice and
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: one moudou of pepper. You will kill everybody who wants
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: to eat that food. This is how it is spiritually.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: I hope you know that the ministry of the word
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: is likened to a chef serving food. Jeremiah 3.15 And
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: I will give you pastors or shepherds according to my heart.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Give it to us please. And they shall feed you.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: So preaching is feeding. Teaching is feeding. The ministry of
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: the word is feeding. And how many of you know
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: from biology that you are a product of what you eat?
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: The quality of what you eat is who you become.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Are we learning now? So the house of God. If
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: the chapel of mercy is to actualize his prophetic destiny,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: with all due respect, all the leaders that are mandated
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: week in, week out to come and serve people the
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: word of God, they must take the ministry of the
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: word seriously. Study, he says, to show yourself approved unto God,
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: the word of truth. You can wrongly divide the word.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: You can emotionally divide the word. You can sentimentally divide
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: the world. You can politically divide the world. But there
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: is a way to divide the world such that you
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: communicate truth as intended by God. Let me charge the
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: leaders therefore who serve God's people here with the word.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Let's obtain grace from God to stay and study. To
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: know God. Not just to have summons. Because what you
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: bring in the pulpit is an overflow of who you
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: are with God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Are we getting blessed already?
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Number three. What is the third assignment of the chapter?
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: of mercy? I like the fact that it is called
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: the chapel of mercy. If this place is to fulfill
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: its prophetic destiny, it must be and remain a place
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: where men can access help and strength from God. It
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: must be and it must remain a place where men
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: can access help and strength from God. The church of
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: the Lord Jesus Christ must be a place where weak
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: and wounded people must be able to access help and strength.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Haven't challenged us to teach properly. The church sometimes becomes
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: so judgmental, becomes so carry a holier-than-thou mentality and never
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: give people room. People will make mistakes. People will backslide.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: People will find themselves in their state of sin and
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: they will be needing help. Make sure that on one
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: side while you are protecting truth, on another side you
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: are holding a balm in your hand to help wounded people.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: If both of your hands are just holding the sword,
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: you will kill people. And if both of your hands
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: are holding a bandage, you will lead to complacency. One
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: hand must stand protecting truth, but the other hand must
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: be compassionate enough to help wounded people. The house of
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: God must be and remain a place where people come
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: to find help and strength. Psalm 20 from verse 1
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: to 3. And as I say this, if it applies
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: to you, I want you to shout a big amen. No,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: I've not said it yet. The Lord hear thee in
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: the day of trouble. The name of the God of
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Jacob defend you. Here it is. Send you help. From where?
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Not from heaven. Send you help from a sanctuary. The
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: house of the Lord is a place where men should
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: be able to find help. That someone comes and says,
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: I'm looking for help. My life is shattered. I have
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: served the devil all the days of my life. I
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: went somewhere and people condemned and threw me. Is there
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: a place within the NIS where someone can help me
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: and bring me to Jesus and help my bleeding wound
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: and help my bleeding family? Hallelujah. Hallelujah. We must be
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: able to rebuke and correct in love. But we must
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: be able to show men mercy. Sometimes the body of Christ,
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: we have all kinds of swords. And our swords are
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: supposed to be used. It's called the sword of the spirit.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: We are supposed to fight the devil with it. But
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: sometimes we use it and kill the warriors in the making.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: You can use that sword of the spirit to fight.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Or you can use the sword of the spirit to kill.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: And you know that the sword of the spirit is
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: the word of God. You can literally use scripture to
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: discourage someone. That at the end, the person came to
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: church looking for God. The person has admitted that I
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: cannot help myself. But the way and the manner you communicated,
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: at the end, the person says, there's no hope for me.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: I'm leaving. No, it ought not to be so. Every
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: time Jesus, who was the epitome of holiness and righteousness
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: and truth, when he met the woman at the well,
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: he showed her love. And based on his conversation, can
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: you imagine the same man who was preaching on a
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: crusade ground, he did not consider it a waste of
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: time to stay with one weak woman. I hope you
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: know the entire John chapter 3 was a discussion between
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Jesus and one man. There are many people who will
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: be coming here And let me tell you, there are
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: three groups of people who will come here. Be sensitive
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: to know them when they come. Number one, when you
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: see the madman in Gadara, be patient. That is an
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: evangelist on his way. Don't condemn him because there is
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: a legion of devils in him. Your assignment is to
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: cast the demons out, rehabilitate him, and that one smart
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: man in Gadara will go and bring ten cities to Jesus.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Number two, there is a woman who was once, she
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: had seven demons that Jesus delivered from. She lived a
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: riotous life, but when she came, the Bible says Jesus
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: delivered seven demons out of her, and she was part
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: of those who later served in the ministry. Number three,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: there is the woman at the well. This woman had
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: five husbands. The sixth was not even her husband. And
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Jesus comes to her as the seventh, bringing an end
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: to that kind of life. And single-handedly, she left everything
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: she had and said, come see a man who has
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: shown me everything I have done. I hope when these
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: three groups of people come here, there will be room
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: for them. You see, you are not used as you are.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: You come as you are. Then you are changed. You
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: don't come as you are to stay as you are.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: That is now the balance. Anybody who comes as he
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: is and wants to stay as he is, you can
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: as well go out. Because your coming is proof that
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: you are ready to change. Are we learning? A place
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: of help and a place of mercy. Send the help
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: from a sanctuary. All kinds of help. Emotional help. perhaps
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: even financial help, that someone comes and says, sincerely, I'm
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: not a careless person. My family, my entire children have
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: not eaten. I'm going through a marital crisis. And you
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: don't have to wait for the leaders. Someone will remember
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Apostle Joshua Selman's message and said, while this place was
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: being dedicated, I remember this message. I may not be
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: able to do everything, but here is 500 naira. Can
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: you please go and buy gari for your children? Help
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: has come from the sanctuary. And that person will say,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: everybody ran away from me. But now you have come
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: to accept me the way I am. Let me give
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: you the last and final. Is God helping us already?
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: So number one, that the first assignment of this glorious
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: place is that it must become and remain a house
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: of prayer. Number two, it must become a place of revelation,
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: a place of understanding, and a place of transformation. I
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: wish I had time to talk a bit about transformation.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: It means nobody should come here and remain the way
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: they are. No. One month, two months, six months, there
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: should be a new version of you. And then number three,
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: it should be a place of help and strength. There
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: are weak and wounded people. I tell you, our world
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: is full of people who just smile and wear nice clothes.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: But if you sit down to counsel them, it's their
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: tears that will do the speaking. There are many people
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: who are living with sicknesses right now. They come to
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: church every day hoping that one day God will visit them.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: There are people, the moment they come to church, returning
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: back home, their husbands are waiting for them. It's going
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: to be war. But they have vowed that they will
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: keep fighting it while they love Jesus. the church should
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: be a place where we should experience the ministry of
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: the great physician. Remember the story of the good Samaritan?
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: A man of God came and saw him and passed
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: and said, I'm running to church. And the man remained there.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Another religious person came and ran, but a Samaritan saw
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: this man and said, my God, no. And he bombed him.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: took him to an inn and said please care for
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: this man when I return if there is anything please
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: leave it I will pay for the bill and Jesus
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: used that story to teach us a lesson is someone
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: learning number four as I just said this number three
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: I just believed in my heart I just sensed in
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: my heart that I'm just describing someone in this place
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: And it's like you are saying, Apostle, it's as if
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: you are just talking about me. It is only God
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: that knows the kind of pain I'm having in my heart.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: From the pain of betrayal. pain of disappointment, pain of,
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: you know, people saying you have been serving God for years.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: Where is your resolve? Do you know that it is
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: painful to wait for the promises of God to be
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: made manifest? Because at that time, you can't tell people
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: you don't love God, but the evidence may not yet
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: be there. Ask Anna. Anna was a woman who went
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: to Shiloh every time, and Peninnah mocked and said, whenever
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: it's time for offering, you are coming. Time for service coming.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: Where is your child? I'm sure that Anna would go
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: back and say, God, why are you doing this to me?
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: The most difficult journey in the believer's life is the
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: journey between prophecy and its manifestation.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, come lay down the burdens you have carried.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: For in the sanctuary, God is here.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, come lay down the burdens you have carried for
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: in this sanctuary, God is with you.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: So when you come to church, sometimes while praise and
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: worship is happening and you are dancing, don't think everyone
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: who is just quiet is not participating. There are people
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: who barely just got there. They are saying, thank God
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: I finally arrived. I hope that when the preacher comes,
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: I will hear something that will help me. Have you
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: seen people who come to church and even before service starts,
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: they sit quietly and they are just crying? And sometimes
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: you think they are crying because of the beauty of
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: the place. Until you know the problems that are in
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: their life. While they are in that church, the landlord says,
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: just to inform you, I'm waiting for you. They told
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: me you are in church. I will wait. Finish and
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: come and meet me. I hope you come to me
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: with your God and my rent. Oh, come lay down
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: the burdens you have carried. For in this sanctuary God
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: is here. Can I give you the final one? There
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: are many more, but let me give you four. The
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: fourth assignment of this beautiful place that God has so
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: built for himself is that it must become a place
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: and remain a place where we experience the power And
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: the glory of God. If the chapel of mercy. As
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: the house of God. Is to fulfill its assignment. Here
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: within the NIS. It must become. And remain. A place.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Where people experience. The power. And the glory of God.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Say power. Say glory. One more time say power. Say glory.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: Psalm 63. Psalm 63. One and two. Psalm 63. One
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: and two. Psalm 63. One and two. Oh God. You
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: are my God. And I will ever praise you. Oh God.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: You are my God. And I will ever praise you.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: I will seek you in the morning.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: I will work in your ways. For step by step
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: you lead me.
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: And I will follow you all of my days.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: Oh God, it says, you are my God. Psalm 63, 1.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: Early will I seek you. My soul thirsts for you.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: My flesh longs for you. In a dry and thirsty
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: land where there is no water. Why? Verse 2. Let's
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: read together. So I have looked for you in the sanctuary.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: Why did I look for you in the sanctuary? To
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: see your power and to see your glory. When I
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: want to see the power of God and I want
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: to see the glory of God, I run to his sanctuary.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: What kind of power? The power to heal. The power
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: to end age-long curses. Your employment letter cannot eradicate a
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: curse from your life. It can only give you a job.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: But if that curse is still there, you will collect
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: your salary and still be going down. but not when
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: you come to the sanctuary. The sanctuary gives beyond an
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: employment letter. That means there are people when God wants
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: to deliver, he can give them an employment to come
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: and become employees of the NIS. But it's not about NIS.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: It's so that they can finally arrive here because what
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: is sitting on their destiny will require power more than employment.
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: You believe this? I have sought for you in the
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: sanctuary because it is your house. Let me find here
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: not just prayer as important as that is, not just
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: the teaching, not just compassion, but it must become a
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: place of power. A place of power. Power against unclean spirits.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: Powers that sit on the destinies of people and vow
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: that nobody will rise. Powers that are determined to destroy marriages,
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: to turn children who were born in godly families to
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: become armed robbers and prostitutes and useless people. One encounter
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: here at Chapel of Mercy should bring an end to
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: the captivity of people. Hallelujah. Do you believe that? That
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: means the entire activities within a service, from the opening
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: prayer to the praise and worship, if the worship team
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: understands this, that means they don't just rehearse songs, but
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: their songs come from the secret place. That every time
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: you stand to sing, you are trusting God to move
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: through your songs and break chains and break captivities. That
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: just five minutes of singing a song You stop singing
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: special numbers and you bring songs that minister to the
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: spirits of people. From the rising of.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: The sun to the setting of the sun.
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: Your name is to be Adonai.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: Adonai.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: You imagine that someone who.
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: Has been trusting God for 10 years for the fruit
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: of the womb.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: And then she just gets an employment to come here.
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: And immediately she arrives at the chapel of mercy. It
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter what program is holding. Just because Jehovah is here.
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: Fire from heaven rests upon that woman's life. And she
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: will tell you the next service she will come with
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: her husband. Very soon you have to start screening people.
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: Because there will be such a crowd of people outside.
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: I don't care that it's a chapel for the NIS.
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: All we know is that God is here. Healing is here.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: Deliverance is here.
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: Hallelujah.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you this? Have you noticed that when
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: you are putting your programs together, there are people who
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: are not... part of the NIS, but they don't care.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: The moment people know God is in a place Even
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: if it means for them to join a queue, they
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: will join a queue and wait. You don't know how
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: far people can endure provided there is a guarantee they
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: will encounter God. Ask a herbalist what will make a
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: matured person who will quarrel you for not calling him sir.
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: And yet because he's going to see a herbalist to
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: get power, they will say turn back and he will
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: turn back. Move backward and he will move backward. That
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: is what people can do when they are sure they
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: will find power. I'm praying for this place. In the
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: name of Jesus Christ. May this place not only be.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: A house of mercy. But a house of power. A
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: house of deliverance. The Bible says. Upon Mount Zion. Is
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: it in your Bible? There shall be. Deliverance. And holiness.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: Deliverance is not just being separated from spirit alone. Deliverance
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: is also being separated from conditions. Conditions. condition failure is
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: a condition powered by spirits what is a condition poverty
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: is a condition weakness is a condition so when we
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: talk about deliverance we're not just talking of driving the
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: spirit influences alone by the power of the world that
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: is able to divide asunder and pierce to cutting the
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: the soul the the thoughts and the intents of the
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: heart you can literally separate a man from his condition
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: that after service the trouble that was connected to him
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: remains while the man walks free hallelujah chapel of mercy
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: if this place must remain the house of god This
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: must be your covenant. And it is not for the leaders.
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: It is for everyone who names the name of Christ.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: It is for every believer here. Whatever it would take
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: to make this place become and remain a house of
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: prayer is everybody's business. Whatever it would take to make
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: this house become and remain a place of revelation where
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: the truth of God's word is communicated is everybody's business.
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: Whatever must make this place become and remain a place
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: where people find help and find strength, it is everybody's business.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: And whatever will make this place become a place of power,
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: that means God will be raising someone to be interceding
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: for those who teach here. Lord, they will not fail.
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: Let strength come. Nothing will happen around their homes that
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: will affect them. That becomes your business. This is how
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: to serve in the house of God. It's not just
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: come to sit down and watch the man of God. No.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: For some of you who God has blessed financially, God
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: may put it in your heart and say make sure
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: consistently your seeds are coming both to the ministry and
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: to the leaders to encourage them to make sure that
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: they have the stamina to resist any kind of temptation.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: That because when they fall to these temptations, it will
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: affect the purity of their delivery and eventually it affect
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: the assignment and the prophetic destiny of this place. We
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: are going to pray. Are you ready to pray? Hallelujah.
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: Hallelujah We'll just take a few minutes to pray The
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: first prayer will be a prayer of thanksgiving Lord, now
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: we understand what you have done.
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: It's beyond a building. You have erected an altar in
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: the NIS where your presence will perpetually dwell. When they
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: were dedicating the temple of Solomon, Solomon said, now arise,
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: O God. He says, come to your resting place. You
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: are the ark of your might. I want you to
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: pray and say, Father, thank you for giving this gift
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: to the NIS. Go ahead and thank him. Someone is
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: telling Jesus, thank you. Someone is telling the Lord, thank you.
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's your child that will be saved in this
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: very chapel. Maybe it's your spouse that will be saved
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: in this chapel. Maybe the leaders of the NIS, not
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: even just the Christian community, maybe the ones who will
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: be saved here. Go ahead and thank the King of Kings.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: In the name of Jesus. Prayer point number two. Father,
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: every role I have to play. To make this place
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: remain your prophetic habitation. I obtain grace. Go ahead and pray.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: Every role I have to pray. You're not just coming
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: here as a receiver. As a congregant. As a member.
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: As part of the fellowship. There is a kingdom responsibility
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: upon you. Someone is praying. Every role I have to pray.
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: Every role I have to play. Every role I have
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: to play. I obtain grace to pray. Hallelujah. Final prayer
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: before I speak over your life. I want you to
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: pray now and list these four things that I spoke about.
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: That Father, the grace for prayer, let it remain upon
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: this house. The grace that makes for quality revelation of
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: the word, let it remain here. The grace that can
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: help men to show men help and that they find strength.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: Let it be found here. And finally, the power of
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: the Holy Spirit. May it remain here. Is it not
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: the Psalmist, I mean the Paul who said the grace
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: of our Lord Jesus Christ. He said the love of
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Are you
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: ready to pray? Go ahead. Please lift your voice in
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: one minute. Father, let this place become and remain the
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: house of prayer. The house of prayer. Angelic activities. Bring
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: in answers to prayer. Let this place remain a place
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: of revelation, understanding, transformation by the Spirit of God. Let
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: this place remain a place where people can find help.
• 53:23
  Speaker 7: Can find mercy, can find strength when they are weary.
• 53:29
  Speaker 7: And finally, oh God, let the power of the Holy
• 53:33
  Speaker 7: Ghost be resident in this place. Power to heal, power
• 53:38
  Speaker 7: to change, power to deliver, power to create breakthroughs, to
• 53:44
  Speaker 7: rewrite the stories of the destinies of men.
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I want to speak over your life now.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: Let me share with you one secret that God showed
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: me in my life. One of the secrets to give
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: anything longevity in your life is to hand it over
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: to God. You want... To find out the secret behind
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: the longevity of anything. Hand it over to God. Yes.
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: It says but I know whom I have believed. And
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: I am persuaded. That he is able to keep that.
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: Not that which you have. That which is committed to him.
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: He only keeps what is committed to him. Kominanakane. Kominanakane.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: One more time. One more time.
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: I'm not.
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: Father, I join my faith with the fathers of faith
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: who have stood upon this altar to declare over your
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: people and to declare over this beautiful structure. And in
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: the name of Jesus, even by the privilege of the
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: election of grace, I decree and I declare over the
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: chapel of mercy, Over the community of believers within the NIS.
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: In the name of Jesus. Remain a people of prayer.
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: In the name of Jesus. Remain a people of revelation.
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: In the name of Jesus. Remain a people of strength.
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: Remain a people who God has helped. And finally remain
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: a people of power. Now I pray for the chapel
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: of mercy. In the name of Jesus. I let my
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: voice alongside that of the fathers who have spoken over
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: this place. We call this place an altar of God's presence.
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: We call this place an altar of prayer. We call
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: this place an altar of revelation. We call this place
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: an altar of mercy and help and strength. We call
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: this place an altar of power. Satan will decree and
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: declare that you take your hands off this place. This
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: building will not collapse. Nobody will die in this place.
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: In the name of Jesus, every prayer that is offered
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: in this place, may my God answer speedily. Everyone who
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: cries before the Lord in this place, let speedy answers come.
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: Let captivities be lifted from this place. Let burdens and
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: reproaches be rolled away. In the name of Jesus Christ.
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: Let the barren come here and find children. Let the
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: poor come here and be lifted by God. In the
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: name of Jesus. Hear me. No one who has attended
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: this place today will experience untimely death. No leader in
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: this place will die before their time. And I pray,
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: it will never be that anybody will stand as a
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: leader here who does not fear God. It will never
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: be that anyone will stand as a leader here who
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: does not serve God. Nobody with a familiar spirit or
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: strange power will stand upon your altar here. In the
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: name of Jesus Christ. Everything you agree upon. As touching
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: the head sin lack and want. In the name of
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ. Give Jesus
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: a big hand clap. Let the leaders of NICF... both
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: here in the headquarters and other formations, come to the front.
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: And departmental leaders.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: If you are a leader in your department, also come.
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: As our Father prays for us. Hallelujah. Go ahead. Just
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: pray in one minute, everyone. We are praying one to
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: speak over the great leaders. Hallelujah. Is someone praying Father,
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: help them, strengthen them, empower them by your spirit. It
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: takes a lot to serve in any capacity of leadership,
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: more so spiritual leadership. Hallelujah. In Jesus' name. Listen, one
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: of the ways that Satan discourages people is to inflict
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: pain and loss and shame on the leaders. so that
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: those who follow them become discouraged. Are we together? The
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: Bible says, strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter. Yes.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: Chances are excellent that when you see your leaders failing,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: things going down, you'll say, no, I can't come and
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: waste my time here. Leaders inspire through the results that
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: are produced from their own lives. Am I right on that?
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: Stretch your hands, everybody, one minute to those in front.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: The same way you would have prayed for yourself, please
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: pray for them. The same way you would have prayed
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: for your spouse, your child, your father, your mother, your uncle,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: the man of God you love and honor. Please pray
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: for them. Say, Lord, keep them. As they travel, keep them.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: As they exercise their duties across the various stations where
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: they are represented, keep them. The keeping grace, the staying power,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: the grace to pray, the grace to fast, the grace
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: to love Jesus. Character, the grace for unity. that God
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: will set them free from offense, God will set them
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: free from bitterness, God will set them free from anger.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: These are the things that destroy mighty men. Sometimes it
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: may not be the weightier sins, but anger, offense, unforgiveness.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: These are the things that become a cancer to leaders.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: In the name of Jesus. By the privilege of God's message,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: I speak over you. The grace that causes leaders to...
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: You don't have to kneel. Please stand. The grace that
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: causes leaders to excel, I release it upon you. And
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: in the various capacities wherein you are represented, I pray
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: that you will not just be someone sitting in an
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: office without grace. The grace to deliver and discharge to expectation,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: I release it upon you. While you are serving, your
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: family members will not go down. While you are serving,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: your spiritual life will not go down. While you are serving,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: your health will not go down. I curse every power
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: that wants you to be a victim of your message.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: I curse every power that wants you to be a
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: victim of the office wearing you represent. In the name
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: of Jesus, grace to excel. You will not die in
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: the air. You will not die on the road. You
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: will not die by sea. You will not be a
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: victim of kidnappers. In the name of Jesus. The eye
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: of wicked men will not see you. The desires of
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: the wicked will not come to you. May the Lord
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: distinguish you. Therefore in the name of the Father, Son
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: and the Holy Spirit. I call you blessed. You are
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: blessed in the city. You are blessed in the country.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: In Jesus name we pray. Amen. God bless you. Now
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: let me speak over everyone finally. Oh by the way.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: If you are in this place right now. I'm wrapping
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: up already. And you have never truly made Jesus Lord
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: of your life. Never truly made Jesus Lord of your life.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: Perhaps you came here for the first time. You were invited.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: You just came to grace the occasion of having fathers
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: come around. Or you are here and you are saying, Apostle,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: I remember making this altar call this prayer. But as
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: it is, I cannot sincerely say that things are right
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: with my walk with the Lord. I don't want you
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: to be ashamed. I'm looking for just one sincere person
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: who is saying, I do not want to waste this day.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: Wherever you are, I want you to walk around. Don't
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: be ashamed of anybody. We're a family of faith. Boldly
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: leave your seat. If you convince me that truly there
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: is nobody, then I will continue. But it's impossible to
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: have a gathering of people like this and there is
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: not one person who wants to make it right. Let's
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: celebrate them as they come. I will count one, two,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: five very quickly. Leave your seat and come and stand here. One.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: Don't wait for someone to come. Make up your mind
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: that you are coming to Jesus. Two. No one will
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: force you. It is between you and the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: But remember the Bible says. In the day that you
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: hear his voice. Do not harden your heart. Three. I
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: count five and I begin to pray for you. Four.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: And the fifth count, five. Thank you very much, ladies
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: and gentlemen, for making this noble decision. Let me request
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: that you just raise your right hand. Thank you for
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: this bold decision. Say after me, Lord Jesus, I love
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: you with all my heart and I believe that you
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: are the Son of God. Right now, I accept Jesus
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: into my heart as my Savior, as my Lord, And
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: as my king, I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: and the grave is broken over my life. I am
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: a child of God. I live for Jesus all the
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: days of my life. Amen. Keep your hands lifted. Father,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: thank you for these blessed people. Thank you for your
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: hand upon their lives. And I pray in Jesus' name
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: that this decision remains true and permanent in your life.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: You'll go from glory to glory and grace to grace
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: in the name of Jesus. Amen and amen. Now, perhaps, okay,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: there's a woman who is waving her hands. Four of you,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: may I request that you just turn to my back
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: and she will just have a word with you and
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: then you'll be back. Hallelujah. One more time, NIS, the
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: Christian Community and Chapel of Mercy, a big congratulations to
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: you for this remarkable project. The Lord bless you and
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: thank you for this opportunity. Can we appreciate the Lord?
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: Let's give Him the glory. Give Him the praise. Give
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: Him the worship. Amen. So I want to say we
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: are deeply grateful. We really appreciate your coming.
