- 0:00Hallelujah, lift your hands to Jesus and turn that song into a
- 0:05prayer. I surrender it all to you.
- 0:10I turn it all over. It belongs to you.
- 0:13My life, my days, my pain, my achievements, my moments, my
- 0:20future. It belongs to you.
- 0:23A believer is lifting up his hands, her hands, and making
- 0:27this declaration of faith. I surrender everything to you.
- 0:34I turn it all over. It belongs to you.
- 0:38Be Lord over my days. Be Lord over my life.
- 0:43Be Lord over my tears. Be Lord over my joy.
- 0:48Be Lord over my destiny, over my present, over my future.
- 0:56Shaliga barantos que la caparandos yata.
- 0:59He belongs to you. But I know whom I have believed,
- 1:03and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which is
- 1:07committed unto him against that day.
- 1:12I hand it over to you. You are the one who is called
- 1:17faithful and true. Thank you, Jesus, now with your
- 1:24hands still lifted, asking for a visitation tonight.
- 1:28Father, let tonight be my night. Let it be my certain day.
- 1:33Let it be my moment, my time of visitation.
- 1:38Someone is praying. Give me discernment.
- 1:44Give me sensitivity. Give.
- 1:48Me the fortitude to receive. All that you have in store for
- 1:53me tonight, let my word not escape me.
- 1:58Let me not be dull of hearing. Let me not be dull of
- 2:01perception. Let me not be dull of
- 2:03understanding. In Jesus mighty name we pray.
- 2:13Father, wait our hands lifted to you.
- 2:16We acknowledge you as the one who helps men.
- 2:20We acknowledge you as the giver of every good thing.
- 2:23The Bible declares that every good gift and every perfect gift
- 2:27comes from you, the Father of light, in whom there is no
- 2:31variableness nor shadow of turning.
- 2:35We come to you, the only wise God, to the king immortal, to
- 2:38the king invisible, the only wise God.
- 2:42We come to you, the fountain of life.
- 2:45It is in your light that we see. Light we have.
- 2:47Come to draw. We have come to drink, we have
- 2:50come to be enlightened, we have come to be imparted.
- 2:54And we ask, oh God, in the name of Jesus, that tonight, as
- 2:59always, your Spirit will find unrestrained access to our
- 3:03spirits, to our minds, to our conditions, to our destinies.
- 3:08Birth your glory to us tonight and we decree and declare as
- 3:12always that Jesus will be revealed and Jesus will be
- 3:16glorified for in his much less name we pray you may please be
- 3:21seated. God bless you.
- 3:24Good evening everyone and it's good to be in the House of God
- 3:30tonight. The Lord will lift you in Jesus
- 3:31name. It will turn your morning to
- 3:35dancing. He will turn your sorrow to joy.
- 3:40Tonight will be one of those days where the prophet of your
- 3:44knowing the Lord will show in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 3:49Let me encourage every believer to not be weary in giving
- 3:54attention to the things that build your spirit.
- 3:57Spiritual growth is a journey is beyond a desire.
- 4:01It starts with a desire inspired by and of the Holy Ghost.
- 4:05But you must allow it be a journey, a journey of adding
- 4:09faith to faith, knowledge to knowledge, grace upon grace
- 4:14until you eventually evolve, until you eventually emerge to
- 4:19become that believer who is full of light, full of wisdom, full
- 4:23of faith, full of power. Are we together?
- 4:27Staying with God to be built will eventually afford you the
- 4:31opportunity to define and redefine your possibilities.
- 4:36The Bible says an air for as long as that air is a child.
- 4:40He differed not from a slave, even though he be Lord of all.
- 4:45And so when we submit ourselves week in, week out, every week,
- 4:49and every other day, it is to this intent that the Word of God
- 4:53will build us slowly but surely, steadily, line upon line, like
- 4:59you have been taught. And then one day you will wake
- 5:02up to a very victorious believer manifesting victory.
- 5:09I have given you a guarantee. And let me repeat myself again.
- 5:13If you submit yourself to the things that you are learning and
- 5:17trust #1 the God who inspires these teachings #2 you trust the
- 5:23grace that conveys these teachings, and you receive them
- 5:27into your heart, and you are attentive to put them to work.
- 5:31I give you a guarantee by the integrity of the world.
- 5:35It will not be too long from now, you will look at your life
- 5:38and all you will find is the glory of God revealed.
- 5:42Hallelujah. Yes, there is no other way.
- 5:46This is not one of the ways. It is the only way the Bible
- 5:50recommends as far as the growth and the maturity of the believer
- 5:55is concerned. Let me remind you again that the
- 5:58teaching ministry in this House and in this ministry is to the
- 6:03intent that the believer becomes an enlightened, a faithful or
- 6:11faith filled victorious believer.
- 6:15You must understand this. At the back of our teaching
- 6:17ministry is a desire to work in partnership with the Holy Spirit
- 6:22and the Word of God to communicate #1 doctrine #2 the
- 6:27mysteries of the Kingdom, to translate them into life.
- 6:31Applicable principles, not just principles that you hear are
- 6:35not, Oh yes, I hear, but principles that have contained
- 6:39within them a point of action so that with every service you
- 6:44don't just leave knowing what you will know what to do and how
- 6:48to engage those principles so as to profit you.
- 6:53The value of light is in its ability to drive away darkness
- 6:58and its ability to light your path so that you make progress.
- 7:02Are we together? When light fails to drive away
- 7:06darkness, when light fails to light your path, then it is
- 7:10useless to you. So it's not enough to
- 7:14communicate truth. It must be communicated in a way
- 7:18that is understood, producing enlightenment, producing faith,
- 7:23giving you wisdom, or activating wisdom that is resident within
- 7:28your spirit, and then releasing you by God's grace to be a
- 7:31victorious believer. If I just described you, shout a
- 7:35loud believing. Amen.
- 7:38Your role is to believe in Jesus.
- 7:41I like the rendition that the worship team put forth for us.
- 7:46You must believe in Jesus #2 you must believe in the grace that
- 7:54you are under. It's important to believe in its
- 7:57power to transform you. Hallelujah.
- 8:01And then #3 you must make up your mind to be attentive.
- 8:05He said, My son, pay attention to my words.
- 8:08Incline your ears to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your
- 8:13eyes. Keep them in the midst of your
- 8:15heart. He said they are life.
- 8:17Not to everybody, to those who find them and health to your
- 8:21flesh. Are we still together?
- 8:24My commitment, as always, is that every week becomes for
- 8:29someone a ladder where you climb higher, higher into the
- 8:34knowledge of God, a comprehension of the mysteries
- 8:38of the Kingdom. And it will build your
- 8:41confidence and give you stability to run your life
- 8:46victoriously, to fulfill your days and your destiny while
- 8:50living a victorious life, while serving the purposes of the
- 8:53Kingdom. That you will be a true witness.
- 8:56In fact, like the Bible calls Jesus, you will be a faithful
- 9:00witness. That you will run the course of
- 9:02your life with wisdom, with victory.
- 9:04You will live an efficient life whilst you are about the program
- 9:09of God. You will not be a nuisance to
- 9:11your world. You will be a blessing to
- 9:13everybody around you, from your immediate family, your extended
- 9:17family, your community, your nation, everywhere.
- 9:19You are domiciled and so please pay attention.
- 9:24The quality of your destiny depends on the truth that you
- 9:28know, you understand, and you engage by faith.
- 9:31The quality of your destiny does not just depend on Jesus, It
- 9:36does not just depend on the will of God.
- 9:38It depends on the truth that you know.
- 9:42It depends on the truth that you have understood and that you
- 9:45engage by faith so that it delivers.
- 9:48The integrity of God is not committed to you at the point of
- 9:52acquiring truth. The integrity of God to perform
- 9:56is committed at the point of acting upon the truth that you
- 10:01know. Acquisition of truth does not
- 10:04necessarily commit God's integrity to perform.
- 10:07There are many people who know the truth.
- 10:10Hallelujah, but knowing the truth is profitable, but not
- 10:14enough to produce a victorious believer.
- 10:17You must know the truth. You must understand the truth,
- 10:20The Walking dynamics. Then you must obtain grace and
- 10:24engage by faith, and then you will see it deliver.
- 10:28May the Word of God deliver to your life in the name of Jesus
- 10:32Christ. And let me say this, results
- 10:35matter. Don't let anyone fool you into
- 10:38believing results don't matter. It doesn't all depend on
- 10:41results, but if you are to be a weakness, if you are to be a
- 10:46motivated believer, you need results.
- 10:50Results demonstrate the end point of obedience.
- 10:54Results demonstrate the end point of engaging the Word of
- 10:58God. The profit point of the Word of
- 11:00God is that it produces results for you sometimes.
- 11:05When people try the principles of the Kingdom or don't engage
- 11:09them correctly and it fails to deliver many times we use our
- 11:14limitations and create a theology out of it and make it
- 11:18look like results don't matter. The Bible says where the
- 11:20carcasses are, they're the eagles will gather.
- 11:23Believe me, results matter. It will make your witness easy.
- 11:27It will make your witness effective.
- 11:29Who is in agreement with me? Results are powerful.
- 11:32They matter. Now you can push and love God
- 11:36and serve his purposes in spite of physical results.
- 11:40But you imagine if Jesus died and did not raise up from the
- 11:43dead and he said still believe in me, don't worry, just believe
- 11:46I'm not fake. Many people will not believe
- 11:49him. I hope you know that the
- 11:50resurrection is a vital anchor as to the believers faith.
- 11:55Are we together now? Before Jesus died we believed in
- 11:58Him already, but his death, burial and resurrection,
- 12:02ascension, glorification, it put a seal on his integrity as God.
- 12:07The Bible says that by these two immutable things we find
- 12:10consolation. That it is.
- 12:11Impossible for God to lie so away with that thought that
- 12:15results don't matter. It really does in the world of
- 12:18man. Results matter is the reason why
- 12:21when they say there is an upgrade in your phone, you rush
- 12:23and buy it because you have trusted the integrity of the
- 12:27phone, the brands that sell it for you is the reason why people
- 12:31can pay. When you go to the gas station,
- 12:34the filling station, did you know that for the most time you
- 12:37don't even see the gas that is entering your car.
- 12:39You just trust that they are not cheating you and as they put in
- 12:44the gas there, you just know that you are having a full tank
- 12:46and you have the F entry to pay without verifying because you
- 12:50trust their integrity. God can be trusted and results
- 12:54are a consolation to you and a witness to all who desire to
- 12:58learn. God.
- 12:59Let me prophecy over your life in the name of Jesus, spiritual
- 13:03Baroness, a life that. Keeps speaking, speaking without
- 13:07results to back it up. May that kind of life come to an
- 13:10end now in the name of Jesus Christ, that when you say God is
- 13:17a lifter, your life will show He's a lifter.
- 13:20When you say God anoints, your life will show he anoints.
- 13:24When you say God advances, your life will show he advances.
- 13:28In Jesus mighty name we pray. God bless you.
- 13:33Please be seated. That being said, let's just
- 13:36pray. We're going to pray for the
- 13:38sound of revival US and Canada for one last time and then I'll
- 13:45get to the teaching of the night.
- 13:47We're believers, we are products of the prayer ministry that
- 13:52comes through the word of God. And so it is our culture as a
- 13:56global family to always consistently lift up every
- 14:00program that comes from God through us to the nations in
- 14:04prayer. The Bible says, brethren, pray
- 14:08for us. It says, I know that this shall
- 14:09turn to my salvation through your prayer and the supply of
- 14:14the Spirit of Christ Jesus. So please stretch your hands in
- 14:17one minute, and I like us to pray for one minute, minute from
- 14:21the depth of your heart. We're not just whiling away time
- 14:24until the sermon begins. Our global family, those
- 14:27connected online, I like us to pray.
- 14:32Thursday and Friday will be two extraordinary days in New York.
- 14:36We're trusting God for an outpouring for salvation.
- 14:41We will be fulfilling the desire of His Majesty to see all men
- 14:46saved, and that they come unto the knowledge of the truth.
- 14:49I'd like you to pray, decree and declare that the fire of God
- 14:53will fall upon North America in a fresh way, that pastors,
- 14:59apostles will rise Evangelist, That this conference will be
- 15:05used by God as a. Tool to fight the spirit of the
- 15:09age. That is planting decadence and
- 15:12decline across that soil and across that territory that many
- 15:17will come to the saving knowledge of Jesus.
- 15:19Speak over those who are traveling across the globe, from
- 15:23Africa to Europe, across the nations and those who will be
- 15:27coming from different states. In the name of Jesus we decree
- 15:31and declare peace, safety. In Jesus mighty name we pray
- 15:40Hallelujah. So North America for you from
- 15:43this week it will be an extraordinary moment.
- 15:47Make sure you pray, make sure you prepare.
- 15:52And we celebrate the mighty hand of God.
- 15:55And as always, our colonial philosophy is that where we go,
- 16:01we all go. We all may not be able to go
- 16:04there physically, but we can be connected by faith and by the
- 16:09covenant of oneness. Hallelujah.
- 16:12And the Bible says the way it works in the Spirit is the one
- 16:15who goes to battle and the one who watches over will be equal
- 16:20partakers of the blessing. So for us who have the privilege
- 16:24of being there on site to minister the Word of God, and
- 16:27for all our global family who are standing with us in prayer,
- 16:31as far as God is concerned, we are all there to every soul that
- 16:35is saved, to every life that is transformed.
- 16:38And then we are not organizing a program for them.
- 16:42God is putting up a program for everyone, including our global
- 16:46family, hosted now in North America.
- 16:50So don't, don't be so familiar with the fact that we are the
- 16:54hosts. Make sure your heart is open.
- 16:56Connect everyone connected to this ministry.
- 17:00It's a culture that you must learn.
- 17:02You can invite others. I'm not inviting you.
- 17:05If I'm inviting you, I've insulted you.
- 17:07You are not invited. You are the host.
- 17:10Are we together now? So no one who is permit, who is
- 17:14connected to this ministry is coming as an invite.
- 17:17You're not an invited guest? No, you are the host.
- 17:20That means you should not be the one to be told to connect and
- 17:23listen and learn. You should be the one inviting
- 17:26others to tell them. Even though from Africa the time
- 17:29zones may not be the best, but that you bend over and see it as
- 17:33two days of a retreat before God.
- 17:36May the Lord help you and grant you grace in Jesus name.
- 17:39And to remind you that as always, all our programs,
- 17:43particularly our conferences, would be aired on all our social
- 17:47media platforms. So please make sure you look to
- 17:50the media so that you have a rich capture of everything from
- 17:55the worship, the testimonies, you will want to hear and see
- 17:59what God is doing around the world.
- 18:01You would want to see your other family, brothers and sisters
- 18:05from across the globe who are being fed by the same spiritual
- 18:09meal and it will help you appreciate the supernatural
- 18:12power of God, the limitless power of the world.
- 18:16That it goes beyond age, gender, race and territorial
- 18:20limitations. That God is no respecter of
- 18:22persons and is able to touch and reach even to the uttermost.
- 18:27May the Lord bless you in Jesus much less name.
- 18:31We pray. Tonight's message is very
- 18:34important, very, very important, and I want you to be prepared to
- 18:41listen. Every message is important, but
- 18:45sometimes I stress it like this, first to get your attention, but
- 18:48then because it is true. Tonight's message, I believe, is
- 18:54a navigation system, particularly for those who are
- 18:57in seasons of trials of temptations, of challenging
- 19:02negative situations. Tonight's message is for someone
- 19:06who is currently confused about your life, not knowing whether
- 19:11to go left or to go right. Tonight's message is for someone
- 19:15who's been asking God questions. I do not.
- 19:18I see a conflict between my loving you, my integrity, and my
- 19:23results. And so I pray in the name of
- 19:27Jesus, as always, that wisdom will come from this teaching and
- 19:30it will minister deeply to your spirit in the name of Jesus
- 19:35Christ. Tonight is for those who are
- 19:37going through all kinds of crisis and pain, from marital
- 19:42crisis to health crisis, those who are going through financial
- 19:47losses, all kinds of situations. Things are just not working
- 19:52well. Negative conditions,
- 19:54temptations, tests, trials, inexpanable conditions.
- 19:59God has an answer. And the Bible says that the Lord
- 20:03hear you in the day of trouble. It says the God of Jacob defend
- 20:07you. It says send you help from his
- 20:09sanctuary. Help us come for someone
- 20:11tonight. In Jesus name we pray.
- 20:15I'm teaching tonight on the topic I titled the way of
- 20:18escape. The way of escape I'll be
- 20:21showing you by the word of God how to navigate trials,
- 20:25temptations, challenging situations and all kinds of
- 20:30tragic situations. Hallelujah, 2 scriptures very
- 20:34quickly and then we'll get to the word of God.
- 20:36Thank you Holy Spirit for your wisdom in Jesus name.
- 20:40And for someone who is online, perhaps this is a good time to
- 20:44invite a friend, a spouse, a child, reach out to someone and
- 20:48tell them, look, I think this topic will minister deeply to
- 20:51you. In fact, I recall a woman
- 20:54sending me a text. I was picking up my phone and I
- 20:56saw a woman and a man or woman, I think it's a woman with a
- 21:00distressed text message. And my answer to her was, go,
- 21:04online service is about to start.
- 21:06Sit quietly, pay attention. I hope she's listening.
- 21:10I told her that the question you're asking, the answer is
- 21:13coming in tonight's sermon. In Jesus matchless name, we pray
- 21:19Hallelujah. But I want to sing a song.
- 21:24I want one of the gentlemen, the worship team.
- 21:29I just felt I kept hearing this song in the last maybe two or
- 21:33three days as I prayed for tonight's service, and I sensed
- 21:37in my heart that there was grace upon that song even as I begin
- 21:45to teach. So I don't know how many times
- 21:47we sing it, but I asked Dave and his people to find someone for
- 21:52me to just sing that song. I sense in my heart that the
- 21:56Holy Spirit will want to write on this song even as we begin
- 22:00the teaching. So I'll give him a minute or two
- 22:02to sing. I'm not sure you'll finish
- 22:05whilst you're singing. Just be looking at me where I
- 22:07stop you. That's the end of it for that
- 22:09time. And then later we'll sing the
- 22:10remaining part. But please, I want you to
- 22:13listen. This is the ministry of the
- 22:17Spirit. There is grace upon it.
- 22:19And I pray in the name of Jesus that for the minute or two
- 22:22you'll be hearing, let it bless you and let it minister to you.
- 22:26Go ahead. Are you in it?
- 22:38Salt you. Are you in it?
- 22:45Salt you? You are my God.
- 22:55Are you in it? Salt you.
- 23:57You're with me, Jesus, because you're with me.
- 24:12Because you're with me, I will not be.
- 24:27Just one of you sing for me. You're my hiding place.
- 24:30You're my hiding place, my safe, my treasure.
- 24:42You are my friend, Anointed one. You're my hiding place.
- 25:05You're my safe. Refute my treasure Lord.
- 25:13You are my friend. Name King Anointed.
- 25:33First Corinthians chapter 10 and verse 13 two scriptures the way
- 25:40of escape. The Bible says there hath no
- 25:43temptation taking you, but such as it's common to man.
- 25:50It says, but God is faithful who will not allow you, who will not
- 25:56allow, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which
- 26:01you are able, but will with the temptation also make a way of
- 26:08escape, that ye may be able to be aid someone say Amen.
- 26:15Second Scripture, James chapter one will read verse 2 and 3.
- 26:25James 1-2 and three. My brethren, who is he speaking
- 26:32to? Talk to me, believers.
- 26:34Who is he speaking to? Brethren, not unbelievers.
- 26:39Count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations.
- 26:44Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
- 26:51Let's go to verse 4, he says, but let patience have her
- 26:55perfect walk, that ye may be perfect, an entire wanting or
- 27:01lacking nothing. The Lord bless the reading of
- 27:05His Word in Jesus name. Now the Bible teaches us that we
- 27:11have been called to a life of victory in Christ Jesus.
- 27:16It is clear from the teachings of Jesus, the writings of Paul
- 27:21alongside all of the apostles, that the whole journey of the
- 27:25believer as intended by God is to birth victory and to birth
- 27:30the glory of God in that believer.
- 27:33Hallelujah. The Bible is clear as to that
- 27:36fact, for instance in Romans chapter 8.
- 27:46And verse 28 give it to us Romans 828 the Bible says, For
- 27:51we know that all things, how many things, all things work
- 27:55together for the good. So it does not work for the bad,
- 28:00it always works for the good. To them that love God, and to
- 28:04them who are the called, not for everyone, but them who are the
- 28:08called according to His purposes.
- 28:12All things the Bible says, the Bible furthermore tells us in
- 28:16First Corinthians 15 and verse 57.
- 28:19First Corinthians 1557 it says, But thanks be to God which
- 28:25giveth us the victory, and that victory is true.
- 28:28Our Lord Jesus Christ say Amen, so settle it at the back of your
- 28:34mind. Regardless what happens in your
- 28:37life, you must have this vision cast before you that I have been
- 28:41ordained by God by reason of being grafted into Christ
- 28:45through the new birth experience.
- 28:47My ordination in Christ is that I live a life of dominion, a
- 28:52life of victory, a life of power.
- 28:54Do you believe that now? Now whilst you are agreeing with
- 28:57that, look beyond your current situation.
- 29:00Everything around your life may be speaking otherwise, but let
- 29:04God be true and everyone a liar. Are we together?
- 29:08You don't allow your feelings, your current conditions to
- 29:11challenge the integrity of the world.
- 29:15We have been called to a life of victory that is in Christ.
- 29:19As simple as this is, you can fail and live a defeated life if
- 29:24you don't have this vision before you.
- 29:27When a student gets into say medical school or any course of
- 29:30study, they have a vision that is cast before them.
- 29:34And regardless how rigorous, how painful, how discouraging the
- 29:37process is, whether legitimately so or man made, the consolation
- 29:42of that student is that there is a picture of the end and it
- 29:46provides the energy and the staying power to continue.
- 29:50So I want to start tonight on this basis that you and I in
- 29:54Christ, we have been called to a life of victory.
- 29:58Let me tell you this. God is not glorified when the
- 30:02Saints are defeated. God is not glorified when the
- 30:05Saints fail. God is not glorified when the
- 30:08Saints are discouraged, when they fall back because refuse to
- 30:12adopt. It does not speak good of his
- 30:16fatherhood. It does not eat.
- 30:18It threatens the the the reality, the consciousness of
- 30:23him being a loving father in the mind of such a believer.
- 30:27And so it is in God's interest too strangely, but it is true.
- 30:32It is in his interest that his. People live victorious lives
- 30:37because by so doing. It validates the Bible says,
- 30:40whereby are given to us exceeding great and precious
- 30:44promises, that by those promises it will now be proven in
- 30:48experience that we are partakers of his divine nature haven't
- 30:53escaped the corruption that is in the world.
- 30:55Through lust. How do you measure the strength
- 30:58of any nation? How do you measure?
- 31:01The efficiency of any leader, it is not just by his persona, but
- 31:06by the quality of the lives of the people he leads.
- 31:09Am I right on that? So one of the ways that you know
- 31:11that a nation is advanced is to measure the, say, per capita
- 31:16income of the individuals. And you look at the quality of
- 31:20lives you have the parameters from education to healthcare to
- 31:24infrastructure and so on and so forth.
- 31:27And it is using those parameters you are able to assess whether
- 31:31or not the person who is in power, whether democratically
- 31:35elected or maybe in case of a monarchy or whatever kind of
- 31:39leadership, you can test whether the leader is a good leader by.
- 31:43Looking at the people. So when believers fail in mass,
- 31:49when believers are defeated in mass, when they are discouraged
- 31:53in mass, when they the world asks questions that believers
- 31:56cannot answer, it will be unscriptural and even foolish to
- 32:01believe that God is glorified through the mass defeat, mass
- 32:05discouragement of believers. Nobody wins that way.
- 32:10Are we together now? Yes.
- 32:12It's like a lecturer assessing the students and after teaching
- 32:15100 students, 95 of them get F or 95 of them fail and only
- 32:21maybe two or three pass the exams.
- 32:24Only a wicked lecturer will rejoice and say it's because
- 32:26they are not serious. Are we together now?
- 32:29Yeah, let me tell you the name of the Lord.
- 32:34Is at stake upon the earth when the Saints do not work in
- 32:38dominion. It gives the world the right to
- 32:41question his integrity. It gives the world the right to
- 32:45question His fatherhood. So God desires to get glory by
- 32:51glorifying His sons in we call it in theology, the reflection
- 32:55principle. So no object glorifies itself.
- 32:59The way an object glorifies itself is by investing its
- 33:03glory. Are we together in another
- 33:06object outside of itself? So a coach does not glorify
- 33:10himself. It is when the player excels.
- 33:14When the Super Falcons and the other basketballers, when they
- 33:18finally emerge as champions, it was not just them who were
- 33:22smiling. The coaches were happy and they
- 33:24were proud too. And you saw people advocating
- 33:27and saying the way you rewarded the players also reward the
- 33:30coaches because without the coach, the player would not be.
- 33:33There so if you see a victorious St. you can't just clap for the
- 33:37believer. There must be a savior who made
- 33:39a way for that believer we together in your being
- 33:43victorious. You point people easily more
- 33:47effectively to the cross because nobody denies and rejects what
- 33:52works and they would want to know the business.
- 33:56The Bible says the woman in John chapter 4 on encountering Jesus
- 34:01Christ and the level of impact that he produced in her life.
- 34:05She left her fetcher and ran to the city and told everyone
- 34:09proudly so come see a man you imagine that Jesus just saw her
- 34:13and say young woman go to the city and tell people to come to
- 34:17me. She most likely would have
- 34:18insulted him, fetched her water and walked away.
- 34:21But because of the. Impact.
- 34:23She had her personal testimony and with it she ran to the city
- 34:28and said come see a man that told me everything.
- 34:31I have done. Is this not the Christ?
- 34:35The women, the the people there were so convinced by her
- 34:38witness. They came not because they
- 34:41believed in Jesus. The Bible says they came because
- 34:44her witness, her results were so compelling.
- 34:47And then when they came through her, they found the Christ John
- 34:5017 and verse one, Jesus lifted up his eyes onto heaven and he
- 34:55said, Father, the hour has come, glorify your Son, glorify your
- 35:01CEO, glorify that parent, glorify that student, glorify
- 35:06that man of God, glorify that ministry, glorify that
- 35:10politician, glorify that professional, that that
- 35:14professional may also bring glory.
- 35:17You see how it works now. So God invests his glory in you.
- 35:22And I've taught you that the glory of God consists of every
- 35:25quality on display that makes God, God, his wisdom, his power,
- 35:30his intelligence, his wealth, his favor.
- 35:33These are all components of his glory.
- 35:35So when he says glorify your son, let it be visible through
- 35:38your son, the glory of the invisible God.
- 35:41I'm praying that for you, in the name of Jesus, that from today
- 35:44when men look at you, they will not just look at a homosexual.
- 35:47Champion standing and being a burden to people until death
- 35:50carries him away. They will see a blessing, one
- 35:53who is a portrait of the glory of God on display in the name of
- 35:57Jesus Christ. It is God's desire for you and
- 36:04I. To live a victorious life.
- 36:07We have been called to live a victorious life.
- 36:10Do not allow anyone or any philosophy turn your mind away
- 36:15from this. This is your true north.
- 36:18And call your conviction on this one.
- 36:21Scripture or one thought that no matter what happens in my life,
- 36:25I am convinced that I have been called by God to a life of
- 36:30victory, a life of glory. It may not happen immediately,
- 36:35but let that be your uncle. Are we together?
- 36:38If you're on a journey set by Rd. from Abuja to Lagos, for
- 36:42instance, and you have a deflated tire, say somewhere
- 36:45around Kogi State, does it mean you will not?
- 36:48Arrive. Talk to me, does it mean the
- 36:50journey was a wasted one? No, What do you do?
- 36:54You keep your vision, you are still going to Lagos.
- 36:57Am I right on that? But you will need to suspend the
- 37:00journey for a while and fix whatever problem is there.
- 37:03But you imagine someone who is on his way to Lagos, you've
- 37:07carried everything to your loved ones, clothes, food, whatever
- 37:11and simply because let's say 2 tires, say you pass, you cross
- 37:15the nail and you had a tire puncture and everything went
- 37:18down to tires. And the person just moves to a
- 37:21chair and sits and says you know what, I'm not going to Lagos
- 37:24again. I've made-up my mind, I'm tired,
- 37:26I'm frustrated. Now that you are not where you
- 37:28used to be and now you are not. It's dangerous because you're in
- 37:31the middle of nowhere. That's how many people act in
- 37:35the presence of challenges. Remember that certain challenges
- 37:39are proof that you are moving. If you were not taking any step,
- 37:43you will not even confront those challenges.
- 37:46Are we together now? This, this foundation is very
- 37:48important. Jesus said in Mark's gospel.
- 37:52He said let us go to the other side.
- 37:54I have taught you it was because they were willing to go to the
- 37:57other side that a storm of wind arose.
- 38:00There are people whose lives look free from trouble, free
- 38:04from challenges, free from temptations, and it is not
- 38:07because they are doing well, it's because they are doing
- 38:10nothing. They are not making any destiny
- 38:13progress enough to be a threat to Satan.
- 38:17They are not making, they are not praying, they are not
- 38:20fasting, they are not growing. They don't have any vision
- 38:23before them. Nothing drives their life.
- 38:25Are we together? They are so docile.
- 38:29And so you will look at their lives and think they are doing
- 38:33well because it doesn't look like there's no attack around
- 38:35their lives. Many times challenges, negative
- 38:40circumstances, not in all cases, but in many cases, they
- 38:44demonstrate that at least there is motion that you are moving
- 38:48first back to the story of the man intending to go to Lagos is
- 38:52because he intended to leave and that he had even gone so far.
- 38:57Are we together at least maybe 3-4 hours into his journey and
- 39:01then he met a challenge. Now my assignment and in in
- 39:05teaching you this tonight, I'm saying because there is a
- 39:08situation that you meet on the way, it should not throw away
- 39:11that vision. Are we together now?
- 39:14Yeah, sadly, there are people who were even on their way going
- 39:19to Lagos and perhaps they even met with armed robbers or
- 39:22threats of robbery on the road. And they seem to mark time for a
- 39:26while and allow the military operatives to come and, you
- 39:29know, clear the way for them and they still continue the journey.
- 39:35I pray for you. Whatever has made you stop
- 39:38moving because of a challenge that happened yesterday or
- 39:41because of a set back, you stop praying.
- 39:44You heard the story of the of the precious lady.
- 39:46She became discouraged. She was not praying simply
- 39:49because, you know, some lump or growth or lymph was detected.
- 39:54I'm praying for you. Whatever will make you mark time
- 39:56in life so that you stop moving forward.
- 39:59I cross it out of your life forever.
- 40:03In the name of Jesus Christ in the name of Jesus Christ so #1
- 40:08The Bible teaches us that we have been called into a life of
- 40:11dominion and victory. And of course, I should remind
- 40:16you that the basis of the believers victory in the Kingdom
- 40:20is the finished work of. Christ this is theology one O 1
- 40:24and it's important to remind us the basis of the believers
- 40:28victory is not just your intelligence.
- 40:31Are we together? The Bible says not that we are
- 40:33sufficient in ourselves. It says our sufficiency is of.
- 40:37God, the basis for the believers victory in this Kingdom
- 40:42primarily is the finished work of Christ.
- 40:46That is the anchor, that is the cornerstone upon which we derive
- 40:51our confidence. Trust in the Lord with all your
- 40:53heart. Proverbs chapter 3 five to
- 40:55seven, and lean not onto your own understanding.
- 40:59Verse 6 says In all your ways acknowledge Him.
- 41:03And he shall direct your path. 7 says, Be not wise in your own
- 41:07eyes. Fear the Lord, and depart or
- 41:09turn away from evil. So the moment a believer assumes
- 41:13and believes and convinces himself or herself that by their
- 41:17strength, by their intellect, by their intelligence alone they
- 41:21will become victorious, that person is already positioned for
- 41:25disappointment. The believers basis for victory?
- 41:30Our confidence in the tomorrow. We have not seen our confidence
- 41:34in the result that has not manifested.
- 41:37It's been received in our spirit, but it's not yet on
- 41:40display as an experience. The basis for it is the fact
- 41:44that Jesus Christ in his death, burial, resurrection, ascension,
- 41:48glorification, He's made a way for us to walk in that victory.
- 41:52Are we together? And that he's given us all the
- 41:56spiritual resources that, if engaged with understanding, will
- 42:00manifest that victory. The word of God to guide our
- 42:03understanding. Are we together the.
- 42:05Power of faith, the wisdom of God, the blood, the weapons of
- 42:10victory against the arsenals of the dark of darkness, these are
- 42:13all the systems you have put in place to ensure that we manifest
- 42:17victory. And I pray for you in the name
- 42:19of Jesus Christ, that every provision Christ has made
- 42:23available, you will take advantage of it and manifest
- 42:26victory in your life. Hallelujah.
- 42:29Now, the Bible is also very clear.
- 42:34And I want to make a contrast. Now, having established the fact
- 42:37that we have been called to a life of victory, the Bible is
- 42:40also very clear that there are times.
- 42:44Let me have your attention. The Bible is clear that there
- 42:47are times in the life of the believer where things can go
- 42:51wrong for various reasons, various reasons.
- 42:57The Bible does not hide the fact that afflictions can arise.
- 43:02The Bible does not hide the fact that losses can occur, that pain
- 43:06can come, that challenges, test trials, temptations can happen
- 43:11in your life. And it is not in all cases that
- 43:15is a product of maybe sin or demonic attacks and all of that.
- 43:19Sometimes it's just the reality of life.
- 43:22Some things just happen. Hallelujah.
- 43:27It's important for us to know that the Bible leaves a space
- 43:31for us to understand the dynamics of living within the
- 43:34cosmos, that as you sojourn upon the earth, no matter how
- 43:39sincere, no matter how compliant you are with the Word of God,
- 43:43one day, sometime, by a combination of various factors,
- 43:50afflictions may arise. Losses can happen, pain can
- 43:55happen, like the loss of a loved one.
- 43:57Even if you are not the one who died, you will feel the pain
- 44:01from the departure or the transition of that person, and
- 44:04it may alter your life in a way that is irrecoverable.
- 44:07Is someone learning tonight? I read that.
- 44:12Scripture earlier on Psalm 20 and verse 1 is a Scripture that
- 44:16has ministered to me personally through the years.
- 44:19He says the Lord here the in the why didn't he just say the Lord
- 44:23here you? Why does it describe a day that
- 44:27there is a day called the day of trouble and that God is aware of
- 44:33that day? And it says the psalmist is
- 44:35praying that when that day comes upon you called the day of
- 44:39trouble, may the Lord hear you that day.
- 44:41And then he says, may the name of the God of Jacob defend you.
- 44:45When you hear the word defense, it means there is an attack.
- 44:48Am I right on that #2 It says in that same day of trouble, may He
- 44:56send you help from His sanctuary.
- 44:59Verse 2. May He send you help and may He
- 45:03strengthen you. Look at what that day can do.
- 45:05It already describes the character of that day of
- 45:08trouble, that it can be a day of attack.
- 45:11It can be a day where you you faint, where you don't have
- 45:13strength. And he's praying that when that
- 45:16day of trouble comes, that May God grant you strength, May God
- 45:20grant you help, and May God hear you.
- 45:22Let me speak over someone. May the Lord hear you in the day
- 45:25of trouble. May the God of Jacob defend you.
- 45:30May my God send you help from His sanctuary, and may He
- 45:34strengthen you from Zion in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 45:40Hallelujah. The Bible is full of moments
- 45:46where even good people had sad experiences.
- 45:52I can run it for you from Genesis down to Revelation and
- 45:56you will be surprised that not even Jesus escaped this.
- 45:59Remember what Jesus said? He said this is your hour and
- 46:03the power of darkness. He said I was with you every
- 46:06time I walked among you in the temple.
- 46:08Why didn't you accuse me? He said the reason why you seem
- 46:11to be able to prevail over me now is because it is your hour
- 46:15and the power of darkness. The preach.
- 46:22I think that should be some Proverbs 24 verse 9 or 10.
- 46:25I think verse 10 it says if you turn aside in the day of trouble
- 46:31or the day of adversity. I hope that's the Scripture
- 46:34finding for me. Proverbs 24 verse 10 or
- 46:36thereabout. Please give it to us all.
- 46:38Many of the afflictions. In fact, it talks about that.
- 46:41Yes, Proverbs 22 verse 10. If you fail or faint in the day
- 46:46of adversity is someone learning already?
- 46:49So the Bible is telling you that there is the day of adversity.
- 46:54It says it's because you lack strength.
- 46:57You now see why the psalmist is saying me he sent you strength
- 47:00on that day. Praise the name of the Lord.
- 47:06Our world is full of people, very good people in fact, who
- 47:10have gone through, are currently going through or sadly will go
- 47:16through any or more or even all of the following.
- 47:21Marital crisis, career challenges, sicknesses and
- 47:28infirmities, demonic oppressions, persecutions,
- 47:34financial negative, unfavorable financial situations, ministry
- 47:40challenges for men and women of God, false accusations in your
- 47:46place of work or whatever it is this sometimes these are the
- 47:52realities you can aggregate the life of a man over twenty, 30-40
- 47:57years and it will be difficult to not find at least one of
- 48:01these represented in that journey.
- 48:04And it is not always a an issue of being evil.
- 48:07Pay attention to what I'm telling you now.
- 48:10Are we together now? From Abraham if you study, to
- 48:14Sarah to Gideon, in fact to the nation of Israel.
- 48:18You know how they became slaves, right?
- 48:21It was hunger that took them to Egypt.
- 48:23They went to buy food from there.
- 48:26They found out their brother is the Prime Minister.
- 48:28He called them and the father to remain here until he died.
- 48:32Then there arose another Pharaoh who did not know Joseph.
- 48:36Cancel the way that legacy, and turn them to slaves, and they
- 48:40became slaves there for 430 years, until Moses came to
- 48:44advocate their deliverance. What of the Moses himself?
- 48:47He was sent as a deliverer, yet he was full of trouble.
- 48:53What of Elijah, the man who called on fire, and yet he ran
- 48:57away from Jezebel? You read the Bible and you find
- 49:01very funny expressions. The professional called Peter.
- 49:06It was not a lack of diligence issue.
- 49:09He had everything in place and yet he could not catch fish.
- 49:12How about Jesus our Savior and pattern man?
- 49:16The Bible tells us that he was in any in every way tempted.
- 49:20Is that in your Bible? He said yet he was without sin.
- 49:23So you would think because he was without sin.
- 49:25The Bible says the wages of sin is death and here is a righteous
- 49:29man that is sinless and people looked at him, they would prefer
- 49:33releasing Barabbas to Jesus and he actually died, was never
- 49:38given an opportunity to thoroughly defend himself and
- 49:42defending himself will be of no use because his death was on
- 49:46purpose. Many of the afflictions of the
- 49:50righteous have taught you in this house.
- 49:52The Bible says what the Lord delivered him from them all.
- 49:56Your deliverance comes tonight in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 50:01Now let me tell you one of the blessings of the Church of the
- 50:03Lord Jesus Christ. The Church of the Lord Jesus
- 50:06Christ is also a school. It's a school where believers
- 50:10are trained. Are we together?
- 50:12If you are not trained on how to manage and navigate through
- 50:16negative or favorable tides, it can swallow you such that when
- 50:21the when the tides are down, you would already be dead.
- 50:25What you are receiving tonight is a training.
- 50:27I'm explaining to you that sometimes situations and
- 50:31circumstances can happen in a way that is unfavorable and that
- 50:35when it happens it is not always an issue of your not loving God
- 50:40or a sin issue. Now there are times that it can
- 50:43be directly connected to sin or ignorance and all of that, but
- 50:47there are times under the best conditions these things still
- 50:51happen. Hallelujah.
- 50:56I always wonder why Jesus had to use the route of death to save
- 50:59men. I wonder why he had to allow
- 51:02himself to be beaten, to bleed and all of that.
- 51:05And, and I've read, I've read my Bible and I'm thinking by the
- 51:09wisdom of God, couldn't have there have been another way, an
- 51:13easier route? Believers must be trained to
- 51:19know how to manage these these times.
- 51:22There are many people who have left church because they were
- 51:25not trained on how to navigate temptations trials.
- 51:29There are many people who have left God like the wonderful lady
- 51:33who gave her testimony. There are many people who don't
- 51:36have answers as to why things can be happening like this, and
- 51:41it is even more painful, like I've taught you in this house,
- 51:44when there is a conflict between your integrity and your results.
- 51:48If you're somebody who is of compromise, you're someone who
- 51:51is not serious with God. It's easy for you to take
- 51:54responsibility and say I caused the problem.
- 51:56But what happens when, as they say, bad things happen to good
- 52:00people? Are we together now?
- 52:04There was a woman in the Bible called the widow out of Maine.
- 52:08The Bible does not exactly tell us she did anything wrong, but
- 52:11the Bible tells us that this woman was just losing the man in
- 52:14her life. The husband had died.
- 52:17Now the only child who perhaps represented her consolation for
- 52:21the future had died, and they were on the way to bury the
- 52:25child. If you are not trained to
- 52:31understand these seasons and have the intelligence on how to
- 52:35navigate them, you can be so discouraged.
- 52:39So discouraged. There are many pastors right now
- 52:43and I've had the honor of meeting some, talking with some
- 52:46and they tell me, apostle, I love God with all my heart.
- 52:49I'm doing the ministry the best way I know.
- 52:52I've gone for every pastors conference.
- 52:54I've done everything. I still cannot understand why
- 52:57growth does not happen. How about missionaries that love
- 53:01the Lord? It was on their way serving God
- 53:04that they died. How about those kidnapped by
- 53:06terrorists? What did they do?
- 53:09Some of them were singing praise and worship before the cars were
- 53:12hijacked and it was on account of their faith and they seem to
- 53:15have butchered them one by one. Are we together now?
- 53:19Now when you look at some of these complexities, you wonder,
- 53:22so where is this love of God we talk about?
- 53:25And let me tell you this, if your life is innocent of all
- 53:28these things, thank God what prepaid as an arsenal?
- 53:31Because provided you have claimed long life, one of these
- 53:35things is on this way coming around your corridor.
- 53:37I assure you, Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
- 53:46Someone sent me a text. I said from the time he he got
- 53:49married, things were going down. I told him, I said my brother
- 53:52before you know what is wrong, give thanks.
- 53:54Just give. Thanks and.
- 53:56It is in the process of Thanksgiving.
- 53:58This grumbling will lead you into people and things that will
- 54:02end up destroying your life because you will go to look for
- 54:05wrong solutions and you will kill yourself.
- 54:08Sometimes life is just doing his thing.
- 54:11So they laid him off from his job, I think something of that
- 54:13sort. And the guy was angry and in his
- 54:16mind he believed I was at the time he got married.
- 54:19He's just coincided with marriage.
- 54:21It's not necessarily marriage that caused it.
- 54:27It's like someone who came out and as soon as he came out, rain
- 54:30started and then he said God was angry with him.
- 54:32No, no, as the rain was starting, it happened that that
- 54:35was the same time you were going out.
- 54:39Sometimes some things are not even an issue of spirituality.
- 54:42It's just intelligence. Once you take away sentiments
- 54:45and you can reason your way into peace.
- 54:48Are we together? So believers must be trained and
- 54:54in training you, I'm teaching you that it is not unusual.
- 54:57Honestly speaking, if you don't get this, you will give yourself
- 55:00heart attack because sometimes now when you hear women of God
- 55:04teach on victory, sometimes we teach on victory with such
- 55:08confidence and bias and, and it is so it's supposed to be taught
- 55:12that way. The theology of victory is such
- 55:15that in many regards it may not even factor the possibility for
- 55:20some of these things. The reason is because we are
- 55:23painting a picture that should be as clear as possible for you,
- 55:28but pragmatically speaking, on your way to manifesting and
- 55:32birthing that victory. It is not unusual that these
- 55:36kinds of things will happen if someone learning so far because
- 55:39I I sense in my heart that I'm describing people right now who
- 55:44may be in this situation. You love God with all your
- 55:47heart. Every other thing is working
- 55:49fine in your life, but for reasons you cannot explain and
- 55:54that you will be understanding shortly.
- 55:57Many of us have gone through all kinds of things from January
- 56:01till now. Perhaps there are people here
- 56:03who have had to bury their loved ones from January till now.
- 56:06Perhaps there are people who they started the year with
- 56:09momentum, with grace and with all the financial decisions you
- 56:13took, perhaps your finances have not gone the way you expected it
- 56:17to be. Hallelujah, praise the name of
- 56:21the Lord. I remember one of our precious
- 56:23people, it rained one time and he keeps, he keeps animals,
- 56:27goats and sheep and all of that. And it rained and the fence
- 56:33broke down and the sheep and goat ran away.
- 56:36And as he was narrating the story, I said, look at these
- 56:39foolish goats. They ran from the place of
- 56:41safety to the place where they would go and eat them.
- 56:45You see that it's not good to be called a goat.
- 56:49How do you leave the place of safety?
- 56:50You are fed every day. You are not working even though
- 56:54you will be sold one day, but at least to the place where
- 56:59somebody would see you and steal you and kill you immediately.
- 57:03Which one is better to at least last longer?
- 57:11Hallelujah. Challenges happen, challenges
- 57:17happen. Ask a widow and she would tell
- 57:22you that it's been years after the departure of her husband,
- 57:25but there are still questions in our heart.
- 57:27Ask a widower, he will tell you. Ask an orphan.
- 57:31Ask a man of God who loves God what his ministry has had to
- 57:34close down, maybe because of some government policy in the
- 57:37nation. Ask a hard working father and
- 57:41mother who were laid down. It was not for laziness and as
- 57:44he stands has not been able to send their.
- 57:46Children to school. Sometimes life happens.
- 57:50It's a reality that you have to factor in.
- 57:52Sometimes life happens. Now for the believer, hear me,
- 57:57challenges are not unusual is when they overwhelm you to a
- 58:02point of defeat. That's when it becomes unusual.
- 58:05Is someone learning? Now?
- 58:06Challenges are not unusual to the believer provided you are
- 58:11working and living in this life. There are times that the
- 58:15challenges may not be by A cause of your own.
- 58:19We coexist in our world and someone's carelessness,
- 58:23someone's foolishness can have an implication on you.
- 58:28I remember one time a woman who was crying and she was
- 58:31complaining was very sad story, something she saw about her
- 58:35child that was not the best. She sent the child abroad and
- 58:39one day, according to how so she said she just saw a display on
- 58:44the Internet. You know, the child had joined
- 58:46some of these groups. I was doing a lot of things that
- 58:49should not be on the Internet. She was so broken.
- 58:51You could and imagine as a mother looking at her child in
- 58:54that condition. And she felt she raised the
- 58:58child in the way of the Lord. And I could sense the pain as
- 59:02she was saying this, that she gave everything.
- 59:04She, the children had Bible studies, they prayed, they
- 59:07fasted. I mean, well, how could God
- 59:09allow this kind of thing to happen to the child?
- 59:14Sometimes life happens. Challenges are not unusual.
- 59:22Again, I repeat, whether it comes in form of a marital
- 59:25crisis, whether it comes as a career challenge in spite of all
- 59:31productive efforts, whether it comes as sicknesses and
- 59:34infirmities, whether it comes as demonic oppression, curses,
- 59:39yokes, patterns, whatever it is. Whether it comes as negative,
- 59:43unfavorable financial situations, whether it comes as
- 59:47ministry challenges. You know, sometimes ministers
- 59:50can be challenged. Sometimes even as a man of God,
- 59:53you can need a miracle yourself. Hallelujah.
- 59:59Now I'm going to be giving you for tonight 6 keys that will
- 1:00:05help you like a compass to navigate your way out.
- 1:00:09These 6 keys are for you tonight the way of escape.
- 1:00:14Because the Bible tells us that everything that happens to man
- 1:00:18as temptations, as tests. That they have happened before.
- 1:00:24I like what the Sami says, or the preacher now.
- 1:00:27That the thing that was is the thing that is and is the thing
- 1:00:31that is to come. From a human standpoint, nothing
- 1:00:35is new under the sun. It just repackages and rebrands
- 1:00:39itself. But it's the same kind of
- 1:00:42problem, Death, sickness, all kinds of things.
- 1:00:46It comes. It may come as liver disease and
- 1:00:49cancer or new names, but it's the same psychological
- 1:00:52experience. There are 6 keys.
- 1:00:57With these 6 keys, the Holy Ghost will use them to construct
- 1:01:00for you the biblical way of escape.
- 1:01:03And I'm praying for you in the name of Jesus, that as you
- 1:01:06receive these keys, may you find your road map to a life of
- 1:01:10victory in spite of all that has happened, all that is happening,
- 1:01:15or all that may happen in the future.
- 1:01:17That as you engage this kiss by faith in the name of Jesus
- 1:01:20Christ, you will find your way out.
- 1:01:23Somebody say I have the way of escape.
- 1:01:25You are prophesied. Say I have the way of escape.
- 1:01:29Number one, what happens to the believer when you are downcast,
- 1:01:34when you are perplexed, when everything seems to be going
- 1:01:37haywire? It looks like they are
- 1:01:41unanswered questions. The first key, you must fix your
- 1:01:45eyes and your mind on Jesus as the shortest source of
- 1:01:51deliverance. First key, the way of escape out
- 1:01:55of tragedies, calamities, tests, trials, temptations.
- 1:02:01You must fix your eyes and your mind on Jesus as the shortest
- 1:02:08source of deliverance. Let me say that again.
- 1:02:11You must fix your eyes and you must fix your mind on Jesus as
- 1:02:17the shortest source of deliverance.
- 1:02:21Psalm 62, verse 162, verse one. Help me media The Bible says
- 1:02:28truly my soul waited upon God. It says from him, commit my
- 1:02:35salvation. Let's read that together. 1 to
- 1:02:37go. It says truly my soul waited
- 1:02:41upon God. It says from him, commit my
- 1:02:44salvation. If your salvation comes from any
- 1:02:49other entity or any other route and it is not routed in and
- 1:02:54through the Christ, I can tell you, you have no permanent
- 1:02:57solution. Hallelujah, you must fix your
- 1:03:01eyes and your mind on Jesus as the shortest source of
- 1:03:04deliverance. Psalm 68 and verse 20 very
- 1:03:08quickly. 68 and verse 20. Let's read together.
- 1:03:11Kononia, don't be tired one to go.
- 1:03:14He that is our God is the God of salvation, and unto God the Lord
- 1:03:21belongeth the issues from death. He that is our God is the God of
- 1:03:30salvation, the God of salvation, the one who is able to salvage a
- 1:03:35man from death and everything that looks like death.
- 1:03:39Who is learning tonight, right? For reference, Psalm 34, one to
- 1:03:4510. Well, let's try it.
- 1:03:48Let me see if we're able to try it.
- 1:03:49I will bless the Lord at all times.
- 1:03:51Who will I bless at what times, including the days of adversity,
- 1:03:57says his pray shall continually be in my mouth.
- 1:04:00Verse 2. My soul shall make her boast in
- 1:04:04the Lord. The humble shall hear thereof
- 1:04:07and be glad. Verse 3.
- 1:04:08All magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name
- 1:04:13together. I sought the Lord, and He heard
- 1:04:17me I sought. Talk to me, believers I sought.
- 1:04:22And he heard me and delivered me from all my fears.
- 1:04:25Was five. They looked onto him.
- 1:04:28I like this one. And they were lightened, and
- 1:04:31their faces were not ashamed for six.
- 1:04:34He says the poor man cried and the Lord heard him and saved him
- 1:04:39out of all his troubles. The Angel of the Lord encamped
- 1:04:43round about them that fear him, and he delivered them almost
- 1:04:47there. All taste and see that the Lord
- 1:04:49is good. Blessed is the man that trusted
- 1:04:52in him. You can't even stop there.
- 1:04:53They looked unto him. You must fix your eyes and your
- 1:04:58mind on Jesus. Can I tell you there are times
- 1:05:01that life can happen around you? You look left, right, forward,
- 1:05:04backward. There is nothing there that is
- 1:05:07worth inspiring. Everything around you is
- 1:05:10darkness and gloominess. On the one hand, someone died.
- 1:05:14On the other hand, you have no job.
- 1:05:16On the other hand, some enemies conspiring against you.
- 1:05:19On the other hand, you are going through all kinds of emotional
- 1:05:22pain. As such times you never fail.
- 1:05:25When you look to Jesus, fix your eyes.
- 1:05:29Notice I didn't say to just look.
- 1:05:31You fix your eyes. You know what it means to fix
- 1:05:34your eyes. Stay there.
- 1:05:36You can shift, but stay there. Stay there and then fix your
- 1:05:44mind. Look up, please.
- 1:05:47I'm sure that many of you benefited and you were blessed
- 1:05:49from the testimonies today. You heard some of the testifiers
- 1:05:53telling you that the devil will speak to me.
- 1:05:55Or let me tell you this, the devil uses thoughts to speak to
- 1:05:59people. Oh, it's not a lie.
- 1:06:03Hallelujah, you can see uneducated, vibrant, handsome or
- 1:06:08beautiful lady and you find themselves going to the river to
- 1:06:12go and die. They literally are not afraid of
- 1:06:14death because there is a suggestion by Satan.
- 1:06:17And I'm telling you, life can hit you so hard.
- 1:06:20Sometimes death will look like a prophet for you.
- 1:06:25As much as people fear death, that is how life will do you
- 1:06:28that you sit down instead of spending 20 years in the prison.
- 1:06:32I rather die now. You will not die in the name of
- 1:06:35Jesus Christ. Fix your eyes and fix your mind.
- 1:06:40So Satan comes to you because this ad gets into your spirit.
- 1:06:44He begins to suggest to you, is it really true that you are
- 1:06:48called of God? Is it really true that there is
- 1:06:51prophecy over you? Is it really true Satan is a
- 1:06:54master at doubting a creating doubt over God's word.
- 1:07:00He waits until life hits you, then he comes.
- 1:07:04Is it true that you will be the one who will be lifted by God to
- 1:07:07be a savior to your family? Is it true that God has really
- 1:07:11called you to be a financial apostle?
- 1:07:13And in light of all the negative things around you, you can nod
- 1:07:18your head in shame and say, truly, I don't think that this
- 1:07:21will work again. Imagine if Jesus, in the midst
- 1:07:24of his pain, the turmoil, the embarrassment, the Bible does
- 1:07:28not record every conversation that happened on his way to
- 1:07:31Golgotha, But I can imagine other people looking at him and
- 1:07:35say you're a fraudster, you're a scammer, you came and you
- 1:07:38deceived us that you were God Incarnate.
- 1:07:40What kind of God is this that cannot even deliver himself from
- 1:07:44death? You do mighty things, you do
- 1:07:52glorious things. You're a faithful God.
- 1:07:57Awesome is your name. You do mighty things.
- 1:08:03You do glorious things. You're a faithful God.
- 1:08:09Awesome is your name. You do mighty things.
- 1:08:16You do, glorious. Things.
- 1:08:19You're a faithful God. Awesome.
- 1:08:24One more time. Can I tell you, ladies and
- 1:08:40gentlemen, one of the things you need to fight?
- 1:08:44Listen, never allow Satan to make you hate God when you don't
- 1:08:50understand Him. Satan can make you to a point
- 1:08:55where he can mold thoughts to your mind that you literally
- 1:08:59wish God could appear so you strangle him to death because of
- 1:09:03the many things that have happened around your life.
- 1:09:06You know what killed John the Baptist?
- 1:09:08Offense. Offense, not demonic attack.
- 1:09:13In fixing your eyes on Jesus, I must teach you this.
- 1:09:17You must trust His integrity. I have taught you here in this
- 1:09:21house, trust His presence even when you don't hear His voice.
- 1:09:27There are times that you will not hear His voice, but you must
- 1:09:31trust His presence. He was in the boat even though
- 1:09:34he was asleep. Find consolation that he's
- 1:09:37there. The fact that he's in the boat
- 1:09:40with you is sign that the the challenges will not overwhelm
- 1:09:44you. There are times you may not hear
- 1:09:46his voice. Please listen to me.
- 1:09:48Trust His presence. I will recall a teaching that
- 1:09:53I've made at least once or twice in this place when God is
- 1:09:56silent. I have taught you that the
- 1:09:58silence of God is a language. If you do not understand what
- 1:10:03He's saying when He's silent, the devil will give you an
- 1:10:06interpretation that will dampen your faith.
- 1:10:12Hallelujah. Fix your eyes and fix your mind
- 1:10:19on Jesus. Fix your eyes and fix your mind
- 1:10:24on Jesus. I'll say that again.
- 1:10:26Fix your eyes and fix your mind on Jesus.
- 1:10:32Psalm, Did we read Psalm 62 and verse one whose minds are stayed
- 1:10:38towards him, Stayed towards him, Is that it?
- 1:10:42Please look for that scripture. For me.
- 1:10:43It just came to my spirit whose minds are stayed towards Him.
- 1:10:52Media help me if you can find it.
- 1:10:54That would be a great blessing. It just came to my spirit.
- 1:10:57God bless you. Isaiah 26 and verse 3.
- 1:11:00Let's read together. 12GO thou will keep him in perfect peace.
- 1:11:05Whose mind is what? Not just whose eyes, whose mind
- 1:11:10is staying on. You stay because you trust in
- 1:11:14Him. That is what it means for your
- 1:11:16eyes and your mind to stay. You keep trusting.
- 1:11:19Lord, I do not understand you, but I trust you.
- 1:11:22I don't know where we are going in this journey, but I trust
- 1:11:25you. Someone say I trust you.
- 1:11:27The devil did not hear you. Oh, the you you are talking
- 1:11:32about is not me, not Koinonia. No, that would be deception for
- 1:11:35you to put your whole life. I'm too fragile.
- 1:11:38I wouldn't give myself that assignment.
- 1:11:41There is one whose integrity has been tested and proven through
- 1:11:44the ages. The Bible says they looked onto
- 1:11:47him and their faces were lightened.
- 1:11:49Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord
- 1:11:52Jesus Christ. Fix your eyes and your mind on
- 1:11:57Jesus. Can I tell you this even when
- 1:12:00you do not have answers? You don't need to feel ashamed
- 1:12:03when people come and ask you and say what is wrong with this,
- 1:12:06your Christianity? You can tell them, well, I don't
- 1:12:08have all the answers, but there's one thing.
- 1:12:10I know my God is dependable and I will keep my eyes on Jesus.
- 1:12:19Ministry is going down. Fix your eyes and your mind on
- 1:12:22Jesus. Your finances going down, fix
- 1:12:25your eyes on Jesus. You thought by now the cancer
- 1:12:28would have gone down. When it started, you were still
- 1:12:31optimistic. Last you went to the hospital,
- 1:12:33they told you it's degenerated to stage 3 or perhaps stage 4,
- 1:12:38and it's making your loving Jesus look like nonsense.
- 1:12:41You know, sometimes I'm so caught up with compassion when
- 1:12:44people send me text messages and you see them, you see them
- 1:12:49spelling out everything they have done.
- 1:12:52They say apostle, I've given, I've done this.
- 1:12:55I, I even gave a seed. I made a sacrifice.
- 1:12:58I did everything. I listened to your message
- 1:13:01overnight praying. And I'm telling you, you can't
- 1:13:03tell how I feel sometimes a weight in my heart.
- 1:13:07You know that those people trust God.
- 1:13:14Fix your eyes. No matter what happens, let your
- 1:13:19eyes. Be on Jesus.
- 1:13:22Let your mind be on Jesus, no? Matter what may come my way, my
- 1:13:32light with Jesus, I can take it. With Him I know I can stand.
- 1:13:45No man, no world may come my way.
- 1:13:56You know as a man of God, when people die or when they transit
- 1:14:00or when they go to be with the Lord, usually pastors are some
- 1:14:05of the first people that they reach to inform them.
- 1:14:08And because Africa is a fate filled continent, listen
- 1:14:12carefully. Most times people reach you
- 1:14:16expecting that at least you pray and you can see.
- 1:14:19Sometimes they lock hands together praying and say, Lord,
- 1:14:22we believe that you can bring such, so, so, so and so person
- 1:14:25back to life. Let this person not have to go.
- 1:14:29And as a man of God, sometimes it can be so uncomfortable
- 1:14:33because you. Know that they truly have faith,
- 1:14:37but it's just the reality of life.
- 1:14:38Sometimes things can really go bad.
- 1:14:41Things can really be disappointing.
- 1:14:43But let me speak to someone. You may be in this place, any of
- 1:14:47the overflows are following from around the world and you are
- 1:14:50going through such tragic situations right now.
- 1:14:53You, you cannot even begin to describe the things that are
- 1:14:57happening in your life. I want you to hear this word for
- 1:15:00me. Provided you fix your eyes on
- 1:15:03Jesus, provided your mind stays on Jesus, I assure you that
- 1:15:10there will always be a way out. And I have taught you in this
- 1:15:13house that if you die trust in Jesus, then you did not die in
- 1:15:18vain. There will always be a
- 1:15:20consolation. You know that Hebrews 11 tells
- 1:15:24us about men who through faith called their loved ones from
- 1:15:28death to life, and others who died without receiving the
- 1:15:33promise. The justice of God will not
- 1:15:36allow them in eternity to be without reward, because He has
- 1:15:40to reward their trust in. Him.
- 1:15:42So I want to give someone a consolation that you trusted God
- 1:15:45over a loved one and the person died or the person who died.
- 1:15:49I don't know why I'm speaking about death, but maybe any of
- 1:15:51that issue, it may not necessarily have to be the issue
- 1:15:54of death. Are we together now?
- 1:15:56Maybe sickness, maybe tragedy. I want you to find comfort in
- 1:16:02this, that it is never a waste when you.
- 1:16:05Trust the Lord. Is someone hearing me #2 Let me
- 1:16:10give you the second key. Who is leading already?
- 1:16:21The second key? Commit yourself to consistent
- 1:16:26prayer, the way of escape. You cannot throw the issue of
- 1:16:30prayer when you are in trouble. The worst time to stop praying
- 1:16:34is when you are in trouble, faced by calamities, faced by
- 1:16:38lies, vicissitudes. No, you would be doing yourself
- 1:16:42a great disservice to stop praying.
- 1:16:44You must commit to consistent prayer, especially when things
- 1:16:49go wrong. James 513.
- 1:16:52Let's rush the scriptures quickly.
- 1:16:54James chapter 5 and verse 13. Is any among you afflicted,
- 1:16:58afflicted in any kind? It says let that man pray.
- 1:17:03Is any Mary, let him sing Psalms.
- 1:17:06If you are afflicted, ladies and gentlemen, when things go wrong,
- 1:17:10whether it is man made, whether it's engineered by demons,
- 1:17:16whether it's just life trying to do its thing, make sure you do
- 1:17:20not give up on prayer. Philippians chapter 4 and verse
- 1:17:236. I like this.
- 1:17:25Be anxious for nothing. The word careful, there's the
- 1:17:28word anxious. New King James would correct
- 1:17:30that. But in everything, how many
- 1:17:34things, including tragic, inexplainable situations in
- 1:17:39everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving.
- 1:17:43It says let your requests be made known unto God.
- 1:17:46How does God respond to that? Verse 7 it says I'm the peace of
- 1:17:51God. One of the blessings you get in
- 1:17:54the place of prayer, especially when tragedy strikes and the
- 1:17:57peace of God that came from the place of prayer that surpasses
- 1:18:03all understanding and all explanations.
- 1:18:06It will Garrison your heart and Garrison your mind through Jesus
- 1:18:09say Amen. Commit to consistent prayer.
- 1:18:15Psalm One O 7 from verse 19 and 20.
- 1:18:19Popular Scripture 107 Then they cry unto the Lord in their
- 1:18:25trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses.
- 1:18:31How did he save them? Verse 20 He sent His word, and
- 1:18:35His word healed them, and His word delivered them from their
- 1:18:39destructions. Ladies and gentlemen, the sent
- 1:18:43word comes from the place of prayer.
- 1:18:46You must cry unto God. Thou son of David, have mercy on
- 1:18:50me. I may not understand what is
- 1:18:52happening around my life, but I will not stop praying.
- 1:18:55Someone say I will pray now listen.
- 1:18:59You have the responsibility to engage in strategic warfare in
- 1:19:05the place of prayer, especially during unfavorable situations.
- 1:19:10Worst off if your situation is demonic because most of these
- 1:19:16tragedies you see that happened to men are demonically
- 1:19:20engineered. At that point, if you are not a
- 1:19:23man of prayer, you can't find a way of escape.
- 1:19:27It is your responsibility to engage in strategic warfare in
- 1:19:33the place of prayer when faced with negative situations.
- 1:19:40It is your responsibility to engage in strategic warfare in
- 1:19:45the place of prayer when faced with negative situations.
- 1:19:50Now please listen. Let me have your attention in
- 1:19:54the place of prayer, I wrote. Here you can discover any access
- 1:20:00points or any legal grounds that Satan may have used to oppress
- 1:20:06you. It is in the place of prayer.
- 1:20:08Sometimes you may not know. That is because you.
- 1:20:11Broke. The hedge that does the devil
- 1:20:14has has been able to strike. It's in the place of prayer,
- 1:20:18that place of intimacy in prayer, that the Holy Ghost will
- 1:20:23reveal to you. Any access points or any legal
- 1:20:28grounds that certainly have used or is using to oppress you.
- 1:20:34Ecclesiastes 10 and verse 8. This is powerful.
- 1:20:40The Bible says he that did get a pit shall fall into it Koinonia
- 1:20:45and who so break it and hedge. What will happen to such a 1A
- 1:20:49serpent shall bite him. So there are times that certain
- 1:20:53calamities, tragic situations are a product of your knowingly
- 1:20:59or unknowingly breaking the hedge.
- 1:21:02A family can break a hedge. A business can break the hedge.
- 1:21:06An individual can break the hedge.
- 1:21:08A ministry can break the hedge. You don't have to be a non
- 1:21:11believer. To break the hedge means to work
- 1:21:14in violation with the principles that secure God's protection.
- 1:21:22An example we find in 2nd Corinthians 2 from verse 10 to
- 1:21:2711. Look what Paul says to the
- 1:21:29church in Corinth. I hope someone is learning while
- 1:21:31discussing the way of escape. It says to whom ye forgive.
- 1:21:35In fact, give us Amplified. Let's read it in Amplified.
- 1:21:40It says if you forgive anyone anything, I too forgive that
- 1:21:45one. And what I have forgiven, I have
- 1:21:48forgiven anything, he said. It has been for your sake and in
- 1:21:52the presence and with the approval of Jesus Christ the
- 1:21:56Messiah. Why is he insisting on
- 1:21:58forgiveness? Verse 11 He said to keep Satan
- 1:22:02from getting the advantage over us.
- 1:22:06Are you saying that now for we are not ignorant of his Wiles
- 1:22:10and his intentions. The Bible says in KJV we are not
- 1:22:13ignorant of his devices. Meaning when Satan wants to
- 1:22:18attack an individual, he finds a loophole.
- 1:22:21Unforgiveness is a loophole, offense is a loophole.
- 1:22:25When Satan wants to attack you, provided there is that Garrison
- 1:22:29of love and peace, the fruit of the spirit, I tell you he will
- 1:22:32not be able to attack. He will create a situation using
- 1:22:37men to annoy you, to anger you, to pain you.
- 1:22:41You know you out of your pain, your anger, your annoyance, you
- 1:22:44will break the hedge and the serpent will strike.
- 1:22:50This has happened to pastors offense.
- 1:22:52You are loving Jesus and there's the anointing upon you and
- 1:22:56something can happen. Maybe someone can just come on
- 1:22:58social media or someone can do something to tear you down and
- 1:23:01insult you and that anger. The goal is not your reputation.
- 1:23:06The goal is that is looking for access to your vision.
- 1:23:10Are we together? The boss will call a board
- 1:23:14meeting and tear you down and say, well, we have seen that you
- 1:23:17are the most unproductive staff. It's a shame, this and that and
- 1:23:21that. We even doubt whether you went
- 1:23:22to school. You are not a serious person.
- 1:23:24And once he lambast you there, you feel so terrible.
- 1:23:28And I mean, there's anger, there's resentment.
- 1:23:30You are breaking the hedge and he strikes because Satan can
- 1:23:35wait for one year for the day that hedge will be broken.
- 1:23:38Have you seen how lions and leopards and cheetahs, how they
- 1:23:43they pursue a deer? They can wait in a position for
- 1:23:47hours. There are so many of them
- 1:23:50waiting until they want to cross the river or go to drink.
- 1:23:53And it can stay there, hungry but patient, until it is dark,
- 1:24:03and then you find it. Look for one, maybe one that is
- 1:24:06lame or one that is a child, and it will pursue it with such
- 1:24:10intensity and hit it down and get it.
- 1:24:21Hallelujah. In the place of prayer, you can
- 1:24:26discover any access points or any legal grounds, for instance,
- 1:24:31unforgiveness and offense that Satan may have used or is using
- 1:24:38to oppress you. This is powerful.
- 1:24:40If you don't pray, you cannot know that this is the access
- 1:24:44point. And let me use this opportunity
- 1:24:47to advise couples every time you see that you love yourselves and
- 1:24:52things are working right and you're about to enter a season
- 1:24:55and you find out there's petty things, keep creating trouble,
- 1:24:59Be discerning. It's not other trouble is that
- 1:25:02you are about to enter into a major breakthrough.
- 1:25:05I'm telling you this, Satan will cause fights between parents and
- 1:25:09children, spouses, petty things that should not even, I mean
- 1:25:13something that you can just say I'm sorry, become such a big
- 1:25:16deal. Look beyond it.
- 1:25:17It's an attack. Satan is looking for a way of
- 1:25:20penetrating that family. He's looking for a way of
- 1:25:22penetrating that ministry. The same thing happens to
- 1:25:25leaders in ministry. Pastors fight themselves, maybe
- 1:25:29leaders fight themselves. Once you see that kind of thing
- 1:25:32happen, just know that Satan is looking for an entrance.
- 1:25:35The Oshas who hates the prayer people, Somebody says this one,
- 1:25:38somebody will say I had a dream, somebody in welfare is a witch.
- 1:25:41Another person who said the person who spoke is a wizard
- 1:25:43too. And two of you while they are
- 1:25:45playing all those games, Satan is saying this is exactly what I
- 1:25:48want, increase it more and let me launch an attack.
- 1:25:53I'm praying for you. In the name of Jesus, you will
- 1:25:55not break the hedge. Satan will wait and wait
- 1:26:00forever. He will not find entrance to
- 1:26:02your life in the name of Jesus Christ and where he has broken
- 1:26:07that hedge. We come in the spirit of
- 1:26:10Nehemiah tonight, we rebuild that wall.
- 1:26:13We rebuild that wall. I say to you, we rebuild that
- 1:26:16wall in the name of Jesus where the head has been broken like a
- 1:26:21fence and Satan and every familiar spirit is joining in
- 1:26:26and out of your life. I say it again, we come in the
- 1:26:29spirit of Nehemiah. May that fence be rebuilt.
- 1:26:34May that fence be rebuilt. Please be seated.
- 1:26:43I've taught you in this House that there are three principal
- 1:26:46access points that Satan uses to the life into the life of all
- 1:26:51men, including believers #1 disobedience #2 ignorance #3
- 1:27:00covenants. Write that down, please.
- 1:27:03The three major access points that Satan uses to buffet all
- 1:27:08men, including believers #1 disobedience in the presence of
- 1:27:15disobedience who have broken the hedge #2 ignorance.
- 1:27:24When you are ignorant, it's like handing the key to your house to
- 1:27:28a stranger, not knowing that that stranger is an armed robber
- 1:27:31because you are not aware. And then #3 covenants.
- 1:27:37Listen to my message. The mystery of altars.
- 1:27:39I have taught extensively how these things work #2 commit to
- 1:27:47prayer. Someone say I will pray.
- 1:27:50Listen, let me speak over your life.
- 1:27:52If your prayer life say from July into August and something
- 1:27:58has happened to your prayer life, your zeal, your passion to
- 1:28:01pray has gone down. I'm announcing to you it was
- 1:28:04programmed by Satan. It is an attack.
- 1:28:07The reason is because prayer is like a ladder.
- 1:28:10There are things. You see, no matter how
- 1:28:13incapacitated you are, you can ride upon the wings of fruitful
- 1:28:17prayer and have access to certain things.
- 1:28:19I pray for you. May that prayer fire be
- 1:28:22rekindled now. May that prayer fire be
- 1:28:26rekindled now to a man of God. May that prayer fire be
- 1:28:31rekindled now to a what kind the House of God.
- 1:28:35May that prayer fire be rekindled now in the name of
- 1:28:40Jesus. Hallelujah #3 the way of escape
- 1:28:46who is learning tonight. So number one, to fix your eyes
- 1:28:50and your mind on Jesus as the surest source of deliverance.
- 1:28:56Now let me tell you this, I, I, I just feel a need to say what?
- 1:28:59There again, I hope you know that Jesus is God and I hope you
- 1:29:04know that God in his manifestation is multifaceted.
- 1:29:09Are we together? It is good to trust in God, but
- 1:29:13when you are trusting God for deliverance, you must peg your
- 1:29:16trust and hinge it on an attribute of Him that is that,
- 1:29:21that that concerns the miracle you are looking for.
- 1:29:25I give you an instance. You can look at God as a
- 1:29:29wonderful, loving God. Now you trusted Him, but you've
- 1:29:33not trusted Him constructively because what you need is
- 1:29:37deliverance. And so you must put your trust
- 1:29:40in Him as a deliverer. Are you getting the point now?
- 1:29:43Yes, if you come to me for counseling and you approach me
- 1:29:49as your classmate, you are right, but you will not get
- 1:29:53anything there. Are we together?
- 1:29:55Yes. Your classmate cannot deliver
- 1:29:57you from that problem that brought you.
- 1:29:58So it matters how you hinge what what dimension of God you peg
- 1:30:04your trust at. If you are in trouble, you are
- 1:30:07not just pegging it to a loving God alone.
- 1:30:09You need to peg it to the God who delivers.
- 1:30:13That's why He has several names that attend to the various
- 1:30:16needs. Are we together now?
- 1:30:18Praise the name of the Lord. If you want a job from me, say
- 1:30:24I'm ACEO of XYZ organization. If you come to meet me there
- 1:30:29just as your tribesman or you come to meet me as your friend
- 1:30:33or contemporary, I would just greet you.
- 1:30:36That contemporary does not have the power to give you a job.
- 1:30:39You will have to peg your trust to the CEO.
- 1:30:42He's the one who has the power. Are we together now?
- 1:30:45So God is multi dimensional and and it matters what dimension of
- 1:30:49him you peg your faith at. If you are in trouble, you need
- 1:30:53God the deliverer. So you you fix your eyes on
- 1:30:57Jesus as the deliverer. So let's go to #3 very quickly
- 1:31:07to commit to prayers, consistent prayer.
- 1:31:11Are you ready for #3 now #3 meditate on the Word of God and
- 1:31:20speak it continually. Meditate on the Word of God as a
- 1:31:26way of escape. Ladies and gentlemen, if you
- 1:31:29violate these things I'm teaching you, believe me, that
- 1:31:32situation and circumstance, that temptation or test or trial, it
- 1:31:36will overwhelm you and there will not be victory for you.
- 1:31:40Meditate on the Word of God and speak it continually.
- 1:31:47Isaiah 26 and verse 3. We read that earlier on.
- 1:31:51He keepeth Him in perfect peace. Whose mind did you see that?
- 1:31:56Now the one who enjoys perfect peace is the one whose mind is
- 1:32:01stayed on Him. Joel chapter 3 and verse 10.
- 1:32:06Joel 3 and verse 10. Joel chapter 3 and verse 10 he
- 1:32:16says beat your plowshares into swords.
- 1:32:19The big part is what I'm looking for and you're pruning hooks
- 1:32:22into spheres. Read the remaining part.
- 1:32:25Let the weak stop there. Let the weak.
- 1:32:29What should the weak do before the weak does anything?
- 1:32:33He starts by let the. Weak.
- 1:32:37The weak may not be able to help himself, the weak may not be
- 1:32:41able to go, the weak may not be able to reach.
- 1:32:44But the weak can say let the weak say I am strong.
- 1:32:53Let the weak say I am strong, not I will be strong.
- 1:32:58I am someone prophesied. Say I am strong.
- 1:33:02Oh, I know you've been challenged through the weak, but
- 1:33:04in the name of Jesus say I am strong.
- 1:33:09Let the weak say as that chapter 3 and verse 10.
- 1:33:15Meditate on the word of God and speak it continually.
- 1:33:20Go ahead one to go say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well
- 1:33:25with him, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
- 1:33:29What is the doings here? The saying the doings saying is
- 1:33:34labor in the spirit part of the components to the labor
- 1:33:40dimension of faith. Is saying homological?
- 1:33:44You are declaring as it is written.
- 1:33:49Let the weak say I am strong. Hallelujah, say unto the
- 1:33:54righteous it shall be well with them.
- 1:33:57Say unto the righteous Psalm one, O 7, two and three.
- 1:34:00Let's hurry up. Psalm one, O 7, two, and verse
- 1:34:03three. Let the redeemed of the Lord.
- 1:34:07How many scriptures am I showing you now?
- 1:34:09Are you seeing that it's mandating that you speak?
- 1:34:12Let me tell you something about words.
- 1:34:14Please look at me. Words don't just carry sound,
- 1:34:18words carry energy. It is here that both physics and
- 1:34:23religion agree that words are not idle.
- 1:34:26Words are not empty. Are we together now?
- 1:34:29Words literally carry energy, and those energies create an
- 1:34:33effect. The same house you can be
- 1:34:37staying in? Get out of that house.
- 1:34:40Let the house be empty, void of sound.
- 1:34:43Come back after one week and you can literally perceive death
- 1:34:46within the house because there was no words.
- 1:34:49You don't need to sweep it. You don't need to clean it.
- 1:34:52Just go out of the house, no presence, no sound, and see what
- 1:34:56happens. You will come back and find
- 1:34:58lizards and animals. Do you know those things were
- 1:35:00always in that house? But they can't come out and have
- 1:35:02that liberty because there's sound and there's presence.
- 1:35:09Listen to what I'm teaching you. Death is authorized to come
- 1:35:15around your vicinity. If you do not know how to
- 1:35:18meditate on the word of God and how to speak.
- 1:35:22Matthew 4/4 Matthew chapter 4, verse four.
- 1:35:26Man shall not live by bread alone.
- 1:35:29Colonia, talk to me, but by every word that proceeded.
- 1:35:37You know, when you go to Israel, the Jews greet themselves by
- 1:35:40saying Shalom, That word Shalom, there is not just a word of
- 1:35:44peace. It's a very pregnant word.
- 1:35:47Are we together? The word Shalom means you will
- 1:35:49not fail. The word Shalom is a prophecy
- 1:35:52over your life. It means live long.
- 1:35:54It means continue. It means advance.
- 1:35:57It is encapsulated in one pregnant word.
- 1:36:01So you would think it's just, it means peace be with you and also
- 1:36:04with you. No, Sir, it's a very It's a
- 1:36:07declaration of faith. You want to find a way of
- 1:36:15escape. You must become a prophet to
- 1:36:17your own destiny to meditate on and to speak the word of God.
- 1:36:21Matthew chapter 12 and verse 371237.
- 1:36:26Matthew 1237 Corononia. Read the scripture with me and
- 1:36:30never forget it. Body of Christ, here we go, one
- 1:36:32to go. For by thy words thou shall be
- 1:36:36justified. And by thy words thou shall be
- 1:36:40condemned. One more time and by thy words.
- 1:36:48So I want you to imagine a life on Monday.
- 1:36:52Here is your word. I don't know why things are not
- 1:36:55working on Tuesday. Here is what you are programming
- 1:36:58to the air. I think I'm a failure.
- 1:37:00Let me just die. Let me.
- 1:37:01Just on Wednesday. This is you programming your
- 1:37:04life. Are we together this life?
- 1:37:09Said man. Go, just die.
- 1:37:11You know, all those kind of things that we say on Thursday?
- 1:37:14The realm of the spirit is recording it.
- 1:37:16You think you are being emotional, but the realm of the
- 1:37:19spirit does not care. He's receiving it as an
- 1:37:21instruction. Are you getting what I'm
- 1:37:25teaching you now? It is true.
- 1:37:29Oh this ministry, the way things are happening self, I I don't
- 1:37:32know, members are not coming, people are not people come and
- 1:37:36people just go. They come.
- 1:37:37And as you are saying all those things, the realm of the Spirit
- 1:37:40is receiving an instruction from you versus someone who wakes up
- 1:37:44in the morning and says this is the day the Lord has made.
- 1:37:47I rejoice and I am glad in it. And the person is about to go
- 1:37:51out. You don't have a job yet.
- 1:37:53Things are not working fine. You don't even know where your
- 1:37:56meal will come from. But you prophesied though my
- 1:37:58beginning be small, I decree, and I declare my.
- 1:38:01Letter N shall greatly increase. This is not church gibberish.
- 1:38:05I'm showing you the way of escape.
- 1:38:10Your boss looks at you and your boss says you're a useless
- 1:38:13person. I've never seen a foolish person
- 1:38:15like you. You can't respond to him because
- 1:38:18the Word of God must dwell in you richly in all wisdom.
- 1:38:21So you don't insult the boss. But in your mind you are already
- 1:38:24debunking that statement. Who shall say thing, and it
- 1:38:27shall come to pass when the Lord has not declared it.
- 1:38:31Are we together? Yes, the Lord is my life and my
- 1:38:37salvation. Of whom shall I be afraid of?
- 1:38:40They would desire to eat up my flesh.
- 1:38:43They stumbled and they fell. Listen, please don't just think
- 1:38:49I'm entertaining you. One day in your life, if you
- 1:38:52live long enough, you will need this sermon, if you don't
- 1:38:55already need it. Now you get up in the morning
- 1:38:59and the medical report is telling you your high blood
- 1:39:01pressure is Infinity. Your this one is Infinity.
- 1:39:04You are about to die now. The doctor is doing his
- 1:39:07professional best. You receive that report like
- 1:39:11Hezekiah and Torn and say, Father, in the name of Jesus,
- 1:39:14the word of God declares the righteous shall flourish like a
- 1:39:17palm tree. Are we together now that they
- 1:39:20that be planted in the House of God?
- 1:39:22They shall flourish in the course of our God even in old
- 1:39:26age they shall be fat and they shall be flourishing.
- 1:39:31Oh, there's nobody to help you. There's none of your tribesmen
- 1:39:34here. I will lift up my eyes to the
- 1:39:35hills from whence commit my help.
- 1:39:38My help, listen, don't just speak it in church alone.
- 1:39:43If you speak it in church alone, you are not an authentic
- 1:39:46Christian. It must become part of your
- 1:39:48life. You wake up in the morning
- 1:39:50sounds, you are releasing this energy of victory to your
- 1:39:54environment. Hallelujah.
- 1:39:58Listen, I don't want to bore you.
- 1:40:00Bore you go and Google it. Scientists have done all kinds
- 1:40:04of experiments to see the power of words on plants.
- 1:40:09They literally have two sets. I'm I'm talking of scientific
- 1:40:13experiments. They speak on one and then they
- 1:40:17leave the other and the difference was clear.
- 1:40:19Scientifically proven. I decree and declare I cannot be
- 1:40:26given to the desires of my enemy.
- 1:40:28No, in the name of Jesus Christ, surely they shall gather.
- 1:40:33But because their gathering is not of the Lord, they shall
- 1:40:35scatter. They will come in one way, and
- 1:40:38they will scatter seven ways. This is what I believe.
- 1:40:42I am the trust, therefore my path is as a shining light.
- 1:40:46It shines brighter, brighter, more and more onto the perfect
- 1:40:50day. Let me tell you what happened.
- 1:40:52See, when you start speaking like this to tell you it's
- 1:40:57creating an effect in the spirit, you will strangely begin
- 1:41:00to feel tired or weary. It is the devil trying to
- 1:41:03discourage you. What you are saying is creating
- 1:41:06an effect in the spirit. The flesh may be willing, but
- 1:41:10the spirit is saying keep on. This is the way out.
- 1:41:12It's not one of the way out where before God gave us a land
- 1:41:19I would speak every time in the name of Jesus.
- 1:41:22We got not the land by our own sword, neither did there our own
- 1:41:26arm. God is a God of portions.
- 1:41:28There is a portion of Koinonia. I call it by faith.
- 1:41:32I may not know where it is, but the all sin I of the Father of.
- 1:41:36Spirit, he knows where it is. I'm telling you what works.
- 1:41:39I'm not telling you what hearsay.
- 1:41:46You know the kinds of words that have gone ahead of the
- 1:41:48conference. Hearten.
- 1:41:49Oh goodness, oh goodness, the way of escape.
- 1:41:57I'm going to give you 2 minutes to speak the word of God, even
- 1:42:01if it's just one verse, you know?
- 1:42:03If you are waiting for me to speak over you, it means you're
- 1:42:06a lazy Christian. You start thinking before I now
- 1:42:09speak. Get anger in your spirit.
- 1:42:11I shall not die, not in August, not in September, not because of
- 1:42:16fear, but in the name of Jesus. I live to declare the goodness
- 1:42:20of God in the land of the living.
- 1:42:25Someone declare I, I and the children that the Lord has given
- 1:42:29me. Someone online, are you
- 1:42:31declaring? We are for signs.
- 1:42:33We are for wonders in Israel, a businessman, I want you to
- 1:42:37speak. The works of my hands are
- 1:42:39blessed, my estate is flourishing by the Spirit of God
- 1:42:44I have uncommon wisdom. By the Spirit of God you may be
- 1:42:48in debt of millions, you may be in debt of billions, but I tell
- 1:42:52you, in the name of Jesus the ants head can float again by the
- 1:42:56power that raised Christ from the dead.
- 1:42:59The Bible says even though a tree be cut off, there is hope
- 1:43:03for that tree at the center of water, at the center of the word
- 1:43:07of God. This is not the end of me.
- 1:43:11Someone prophesied this cannot be the end of me.
- 1:43:15God did not tell me it will end with 2025.
- 1:43:19I may have lost the election, but in the name of Jesus I have
- 1:43:22not lost my faith. I will go forward, I will make
- 1:43:26progress. I may have failed the exam, you
- 1:43:29may be a student, but in the name of Jesus I will come back
- 1:43:35again. Professor, in one minute you are
- 1:43:38not wasting your time. You are sending instructions.
- 1:43:42In the realm of the Spirit. I have favor, favor that
- 1:43:50surrounds me as a shield. I find favor with God.
- 1:43:54I find favor with man. All my help us.
- 1:43:58They show up on time. They show up as needed to help
- 1:44:03me birth the purposes of God. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
- 1:44:26You are still going to speak for one minute.
- 1:44:28I'd like you to look at that situation and begin to prophecy
- 1:44:32upon it said there is a way of escape.
- 1:44:34Go ahead. When I say health condition in
- 1:44:37the name of Jesus, I may not know the way out now, but there
- 1:44:41is a way of escape. I've taught you the hidden
- 1:44:43wisdom of God. There is a way of escape.
- 1:44:47There is a way of escape. I will not be destroyed by this
- 1:44:51situation. My dear sister, you pray there
- 1:44:57is a way. There is a God way, There is a
- 1:45:00wisdom way, There is a power way.
- 1:45:17You are speaking the Word of God.
- 1:45:19You are not just making pronouncements.
- 1:45:22You are not just making declarations.
- 1:45:24You are releasing divine energy. You are giving creation
- 1:45:28instructions by the word of God. Declare ye that thou mightest be
- 1:45:33justified. Man of God, I'd like you to
- 1:45:36prophecy. There is a way out of that
- 1:45:39ministry trouble. There is a way out of that
- 1:45:43trouble in my office. There is a way out between me
- 1:45:46and my boss. There is a way out.
- 1:45:49I know there is a way out. By the Spirit of God, I'm not
- 1:45:53hoping. I'm not thinking.
- 1:45:55I'm not wishing. I know there is a way of escape.
- 1:46:09In Jesus mighty name we pray. In Jesus mighty name we pray.
- 1:46:18Let the redeemed of the Lord say unto the righteous shall be well
- 1:46:24with them. This is how I live my life.
- 1:46:27I can't take the risk of allowing other seeds to nourish
- 1:46:31my farm. No, no, no, no, no.
- 1:46:36I am the prophet of my destiny. I will speak it.
- 1:46:40Don't wait till things change. The way of escape is to sow
- 1:46:44those seeds. You don't have a job yet, but
- 1:46:47speak. I won't go down in the name of
- 1:46:50Jesus. I am still Savior.
- 1:46:52The Lord has ordained for me to be Savior.
- 1:46:55The grace of God upon your life as a man of God is not yet
- 1:46:58speaking. I'd like you to pray.
- 1:47:00There is still that apostle there.
- 1:47:02There is still that prophet there.
- 1:47:03There is still that revival is there.
- 1:47:05And I will travel the nations. I may not even have an
- 1:47:08international passport. Yet talk, bless a visa, but all
- 1:47:12those ordained by God to help me, they are there.
- 1:47:15God told you, you will have a political appointment.
- 1:47:18Don't mind all the bullies trying to look you down.
- 1:47:20You will keep speaking God's word by the power that raised
- 1:47:23Christ from the dead. My position, condition is
- 1:47:26protected by the jealousy of God.
- 1:47:28I will not fight for it. The Lord will fight for me and I
- 1:47:32will hold my peace. This battle is not for me, it
- 1:47:35belongs to the Lord. Belongs to the Lord.
- 1:47:47Belongs to the Lord. Belongs to the Lord.
- 1:47:53Can I tell you this? I tell you sincerely, God been
- 1:47:58my witness. I can't say everything I'm
- 1:48:03experiencing today I spoke it. I might be lying because God has
- 1:48:06succeeded and shown me his messy.
- 1:48:08What? I can tell you many of the
- 1:48:10things happening in my life and this ministry, you don't want to
- 1:48:14know how long they were spoken into existence when there was no
- 1:48:18imagination. I told you how before Kolonia, I
- 1:48:22would start in Abuja for more than over six months, God just
- 1:48:26gave me the instruction to pray. Map of Nigeria, map of Abuja,
- 1:48:31map of Africa, map of the globe and every time I would pray and
- 1:48:35sow that seed in the name of Jesus.
- 1:48:37I decree and declare there is a space for us here serving the
- 1:48:41purposes of God. All those God has called to be
- 1:48:44joined to this vision, we call them, they are built, they are
- 1:48:47learning in the name of Jesus. You know the things I say before
- 1:48:52I come on stage here? You think I just get up and just
- 1:48:55yawn myself, open the Bible and come and say no, I pray for you
- 1:48:59before I come on stage That in the name of Jesus, it will be
- 1:49:02beyond the lecture as you hear me.
- 1:49:04Are we together now that there will be a layer of
- 1:49:06transformation beyond the frailty of my words?
- 1:49:09If I depend on my intelligence alone for your transformation,
- 1:49:13you will be too slow. That's why you can receive
- 1:49:15things beyond the frailty of my intelligence.
- 1:49:18I can say one thing and you will get 10 things because the Holy
- 1:49:21Ghost is amplifying it. It came in the place of prayer.
- 1:49:27Hallelujah. You must learn to decree.
- 1:49:38Just remember this energy thing I'm saying.
- 1:49:41Imagine that as you stand and you're speaking instructions.
- 1:49:46You know how you put an SMS put on the generator?
- 1:49:50You didn't make sounds, but you sent waves.
- 1:49:53You send it maybe to your mechanic or someone put on the
- 1:49:57generator in a text. You send it in one moment his
- 1:50:01phone is beeping somewhere and he obeys that instruction.
- 1:50:05There are forces designed by God to respond to these words.
- 1:50:10Your text message in the spirit is not using a gadget.
- 1:50:13The gadget is only a midwife to help you fulfill spiritual laws.
- 1:50:18You have the exclusive power to speak to creation, to speak over
- 1:50:22things. And let me tell you this, don't
- 1:50:25let losers come and waste their time telling you you are just
- 1:50:28speaking gibberish. You are wasting your time.
- 1:50:30This is how God created the heavens and the earth.
- 1:50:33God, this is the formula he used.
- 1:50:36He didn't wish the earth, He spoke it into being to the point
- 1:50:41that Jesus is called the word of God.
- 1:50:45Please sit #4 the way of escape. Someone is finding his way out.
- 1:50:58In the name of Jesus, let me tell you what you need to do.
- 1:51:03Go and write out how much you owe.
- 1:51:07I feel scared to tell someone a way out financially.
- 1:51:10I don't know why God is ministering this to me, but
- 1:51:12listen to me. If you are in debt financially,
- 1:51:15let me tell you the first thing to do.
- 1:51:17Go and listen to my message, the principles of restoration.
- 1:51:24And then in addition to that, write out how much you owe.
- 1:51:29Place it before the Lord. Listen to me.
- 1:51:31There are still some other points I'm bringing that would
- 1:51:33tie up to this, but begin to speak.
- 1:51:36Begin to speak. Don't worry about the idea.
- 1:51:39I don't care how you got into that problem.
- 1:51:42The most important thing is that you are now in the hot water.
- 1:51:44You need to know how to come out.
- 1:51:47Arguing as to how you got there will not really serve you much.
- 1:51:51You are still there. In the name of Jesus I decree
- 1:51:54and declare. I don't know where this will
- 1:51:56come from. I may not see wind, I may not
- 1:51:59see rain, but in the name of Jesus I know that the God of
- 1:52:02mercy will bring me out. I know that the axe head will
- 1:52:05float again. You may be speaking and nothing
- 1:52:07will happen, but remember you are giving instructions to the
- 1:52:11realm of the Spirit. The day you come out and they
- 1:52:14ask you how did you come out? Don't just tell them, oh it's
- 1:52:17the grace of God, Yes it is, but explain it so you can help other
- 1:52:20people too. The Bible says to comfort others
- 1:52:23with the same comforts that you have received.
- 1:52:29You put your certificate down, you put your plans.
- 1:52:33You are trusting God to build a house.
- 1:52:36You don't have all the money, but you have vision.
- 1:52:38Don't look down yourself. Begin to speak every time you
- 1:52:41seem to not have the resources to move forward.
- 1:52:44Speak, speak, speak. Start by speaking In the name of
- 1:52:51Jesus, start by speaking. I know this will come to pass
- 1:52:56now that God has given us a land as ministry.
- 1:52:58I'm not praying for land again, except more land.
- 1:53:01My next prayer now is to speak the building.
- 1:53:03It's not bricks and mortar that will build a permanent site.
- 1:53:07Hezra chapter 6 and verse 14. I've shown you that scripture.
- 1:53:11Let me tell you how the building will be built.
- 1:53:13Give it to us, one to go. And the elders of the Jews build
- 1:53:17it. And they prospered through the
- 1:53:19prophesying of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son
- 1:53:24of Ido, and they build it and they finished it.
- 1:53:28This is how the building will be finished.
- 1:53:31It's not just yes, the architects and the builders will
- 1:53:34have their work, but while they are doing that, me too.
- 1:53:36I'm doing my own. I won't be there carrying bricks
- 1:53:40and mortar, but I'm speaking in the name of Jesus in record time
- 1:53:44by the Spirit of God, wisdom is given to this man.
- 1:53:47That is the Nehemiah strategy of building.
- 1:53:50On one hand you are holding the sword, which is the word of God.
- 1:53:53On the other hand, you are holding your business or your
- 1:53:56tools. If you hold your business with
- 1:53:58two hands alone, you are acting like man, You will fail.
- 1:54:07Is someone learning? Let me give you #4 we have to
- 1:54:11hurry up. What's #4 Now listen.
- 1:54:16The way of escape. This is what I'm teaching you
- 1:54:19tonight. I want you to listen to the
- 1:54:22fourth point very carefully, very carefully.
- 1:54:26Seek comfort, Godly counsel, prayers and support from the
- 1:54:34larger family of believers. The fourth way of escape.
- 1:54:38Number one, you fix your eyes on Jesus #2 you give yourself
- 1:54:43consistently to prayer #3 you meditate upon the word of God
- 1:54:48and speak it continually. What's #4 to find a way of
- 1:54:52escape out of temptations, trials, calamities, tragedies,
- 1:54:57unfavorable situation. Seek comfort, command godly
- 1:55:02counsel, prayers and support from the larger family of
- 1:55:08believers. This is powerful.
- 1:55:11Seek comfort, seek godly counsel, seek prayers, and seek
- 1:55:19support from the larger family of believers.
- 1:55:24That means matured Christians. That means godly friends.
- 1:55:28That means pastors, ministers of the Gospel.
- 1:55:31There is a dimension of escape and deliverance.
- 1:55:34Listen, that depends on your connection to and with the
- 1:55:38larger body of believers. Seek comfort, seek godly
- 1:55:44counsel, seek prayers and seek support from the larger body of
- 1:55:50believers in Acts chapter 421 to 24 Popular Scripture for the
- 1:55:57sake of time, the Bible tells us.
- 1:55:59Remember, after they dismiss the apostles Peter now and John, I
- 1:56:06believe they threatened them. Am I right on that?
- 1:56:10Who did they threaten? Peter.
- 1:56:14Peter and John Remember after they healed the man out, get
- 1:56:17beautiful, they call them, summon them and threaten them.
- 1:56:21The Bible says that when they commanded them not to speak, not
- 1:56:26to teach in that name again, are we together?
- 1:56:29Next verse it says, for we cannot but speak the things
- 1:56:34which we have seen and heard while reading to 24.
- 1:56:37The Bible says when the Father threatened them.
- 1:56:39Verse 22 quickly media, let's work together. 22 it says this
- 1:56:43and that and that he showed the healing.
- 1:56:46Verse 23 And being let's go, they went to their own.
- 1:56:51Where did they go to? They threatened them.
- 1:56:54There was a threat sentence, a death sentence, that if we catch
- 1:56:58you again speaking by that name, we will kill you.
- 1:57:01The Bible said they went to their own company.
- 1:57:04What did they do there? They reported all that the chief
- 1:57:07priests and the elders had said to them.
- 1:57:10What was the response? 24 And when the company heard
- 1:57:13it, they, not the individuals alone, they lifted their voice
- 1:57:18to God with 1 accord, and they began to pray.
- 1:57:21As a result, the Holy Ghost came upon them, the building shook,
- 1:57:25boldness came upon them, and they went to preach again.
- 1:57:29Can I tell you there are many calamities and temptations that
- 1:57:32you may not be able to solve yourself?
- 1:57:34You will need the partnership of the larger body of believers.
- 1:57:38Is the reason why remaining in isolation without connection to
- 1:57:42a spiritual family is a dangerous risk.
- 1:57:48Is someone learning 1st Thessalonians 525 First
- 1:57:55Thessalonians He said brethren pray for?
- 1:58:00Who did he ask to pray for them? If you don't have brethren,
- 1:58:05those who love Jesus, those who love you, those who believe in
- 1:58:09you, those who are connected to by the covenant of fellowship
- 1:58:13and association, your company, your spiritual family, you
- 1:58:18should be able to run somewhere to find strength and say,
- 1:58:21brethren, pray for me. I am a prayer warrior but right
- 1:58:25now the kinds of attacks around my life.
- 1:58:27I need you to pray for me. Philippians one verse 19 very
- 1:58:35popular scripture and I know that this shall turn to my
- 1:58:39salvation. Paul is speaking through your
- 1:58:42prayer, not through my prayer. The powerful prayer warrior
- 1:58:47called Paul needed other believers to pray for him.
- 1:58:51I know that this shall turn to my salvation, but it is through
- 1:58:55your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
- 1:59:02Listen, Living an isolated Christian life, whether it is
- 1:59:07true ignorance or through pride, will not profit you in the day
- 1:59:12of adversity. Living an isolated Christian
- 1:59:15life, whether that comes through pride or that comes through
- 1:59:19ignorance, will not profit you in the day of adversity because
- 1:59:24even if you are Jesus Christ, a day will come.
- 1:59:27You will need someone to believe in you enough to carry the cross
- 1:59:29for you. As powerful as Jesus was, he
- 1:59:32became so, so weak he bled. He needed another person to help
- 1:59:37him carry the cross, else he wouldn't have died on a tree.
- 1:59:42Living an an isolated Christian life, whether through ignorance
- 1:59:47or pride, will not profit you in the day of adversity.
- 1:59:51Now I want to say something and I want you to listen very
- 1:59:53carefully if you want to enjoy the Ministry of Believers.
- 2:00:00You must sow seeds of kindness before your day comes.
- 2:00:04You must sow seeds of love. You must sow seeds of mercy.
- 2:00:08Are we following now? You don't cause pain for people.
- 2:00:12You don't destroy people and become the reason for their
- 2:00:15tears and then suddenly want them to rally round you.
- 2:00:19The Bible says blessed are the merciful, for they shall show.
- 2:00:23They shall receive mercy. Blessed are the mercy food.
- 2:00:28They shall obtain or receive mercy.
- 2:00:32You don't have to wait until the day of adversity to start
- 2:00:35showing love. You hear that someone is
- 2:00:37bereaved. Once it is around your spiritual
- 2:00:40family and you have the power, you could just send a text.
- 2:00:43Madam, I hear that you lost your son or you lost your loved 1.
- 2:00:46You may not know me, but just send in a scripture of comfort.
- 2:00:50You are building a memorial in the Spirit.
- 2:00:54You know, I've said it here in Koinonia, and let me repeat
- 2:00:56myself. Growing up, I used to see our
- 2:01:00parents. It was as if every week there
- 2:01:02was burial. At a point I said is it that you
- 2:01:05know everybody who dies or is it that you know everybody who from
- 2:01:09dedication of a child to burial to someone's wedding and all
- 2:01:13kinds of things. You see people arguing over the
- 2:01:16clothes to where and you are wondering is it everybody's
- 2:01:19matter? That is your business.
- 2:01:20How foolish. You see that when you grow, you
- 2:01:23find out that they were scattering their seeds.
- 2:01:26The Bible says in the morning sow your seeds.
- 2:01:28In the evening do not withhold. You don't know whether this or
- 2:01:31that or both of them will yield some of you.
- 2:01:36There is no bodies contact that is worth sending.
- 2:01:40Happy birthday. Oh God bless you.
- 2:01:42How was the salmon tonight? It's none of your business.
- 2:01:45And even the one who reaches to you, you just say thanks, don't
- 2:01:49disturb me. Busy.
- 2:01:50OK. The day of adversity is coming.
- 2:01:55The day you send the person, he will forward you a text you sent
- 2:01:58two years ago that he still has in his phone.
- 2:02:01And you said this is the harvest.
- 2:02:03Enjoy it. You want to enjoy.
- 2:02:08From the body of Christ you must first be a sower of good things,
- 2:02:14a sower of good things, a sower by every definition, a giver, a
- 2:02:21correct speaker, a binder, a healer.
- 2:02:24You are the one who hears that two people's heads have been
- 2:02:26joined together and you become that insulation.
- 2:02:29No, no, no, it shouldn't be this way.
- 2:02:31We be brethren, let's not fight. Are we together?
- 2:02:34You have. You are noted for being a
- 2:02:37peacemaker. What did the Bible say about the
- 2:02:39peacemakers? It says blessed are the
- 2:02:41peacemakers, for they shall inherit the earth.
- 2:02:43There is an inheritance for peacemakers.
- 2:02:48Hallelujah. When you find people left alone,
- 2:02:52when things go bad in their lives, most times is because
- 2:02:56they did not sow that seed. You were never there for
- 2:02:59anybody. Someone died, you left them, you
- 2:03:02heard about it. They were your neighbors next
- 2:03:05door. You saw people coming from afar.
- 2:03:07You didn't even whisper. Even if it's to write a letter,
- 2:03:10you left them. And he says no, no, your
- 2:03:12business. And you see, time and chance
- 2:03:14happens to all. So by this someone is receiving
- 2:03:18wisdom from God to receive from the larger body of believers.
- 2:03:22You don't just bump into people I have taught you endlessly in
- 2:03:25this house. Please look up that
- 2:03:26relationships are investments. You remember it is fraud to want
- 2:03:33a return over investments that you've not made.
- 2:03:36It's fraud. So you cannot not be part of
- 2:03:41people's lives. You're not part of their story
- 2:03:43of rising. You've never brought a
- 2:03:45handkerchief to clean their tears.
- 2:03:47You've not done anything. And then you suddenly show up
- 2:03:50and you want a slice of your time, a slice of your attention,
- 2:03:54and you want to have the same stake as those who invested in
- 2:03:58their lives. It wouldn't happen that way,
- 2:03:59Sir. I'm, I'm honestly telling you it
- 2:04:02don't happen that way, not even with God.
- 2:04:04God loves everybody but He deals with us as per our level of
- 2:04:08relationship. Is someone learning be that kind
- 2:04:18of person that when you are out of another person's life or you
- 2:04:23are out of a circle, they will feel your absence so much
- 2:04:27because of the level of contribution.
- 2:04:30Are you getting what I'm saying now?
- 2:04:31Yes, they can know to. They may not know your neighbor.
- 2:04:34Where is that smiling lady we always see during service?
- 2:04:37Where is that happy gentleman? Where is that man with the well
- 2:04:40cultured sun, always greeting people, always cautious?
- 2:04:45If people cannot tie something to you that brings honor, that
- 2:04:49lives their lives, that blesses them, I am telling you, in the
- 2:04:53day of adversity you will be left alone.
- 2:04:56Loneliness has an explanation, isolation has an explanation.
- 2:05:00Is someone learning now? Praise God.
- 2:05:07You can't expect someone who is a lover of God, a giver, a
- 2:05:11Walker, and all of those. Now I love.
- 2:05:14I love everybody, and I try to do my best to be nice and kind.
- 2:05:18But there are people whose impact in the Kingdom and even
- 2:05:21to me is so significant, if for any reason something happens to
- 2:05:26them, it's tears up an extra attention from me.
- 2:05:29It's not bias. It is a seed that they sold.
- 2:05:34Hallelujah. You don't just jump into
- 2:05:39somebody and say today's my birthday, call me and wish me
- 2:05:43happy birthday. Who do you think you are?
- 2:05:44I'm happy that it's your birthday, but you just get up
- 2:05:47and say they should call you as what it's it's not pride.
- 2:05:54I'm just telling you that life is sea time and harvest.
- 2:05:58Did you hear what I said? Sea time and harvest.
- 2:06:01One more time. Sea time and harvest.
- 2:06:08It's like you go to a restaurant and those who paid for food are
- 2:06:11waiting for their their food. Then you suddenly jump and push
- 2:06:15everybody and stand in front and say where's my own?
- 2:06:18And they say, where's your receipt for payment?
- 2:06:20You say which payment I didn't pay, but I must eat.
- 2:06:22They call you a Nam robber. They don't call you a guest who
- 2:06:26came to eat. You didn't pay.
- 2:06:28Nobody paid for you and you are trying to force your way.
- 2:06:31That's how many people force their way through life.
- 2:06:33They just bump into church, we together.
- 2:06:36You've not spoken well about anyone.
- 2:06:38You've not found. You've not brought joy to
- 2:06:40anyone. Your seed has not improved the
- 2:06:43life of anyone. You've not bought a cup of water
- 2:06:46to anyone and yet you want to be given dedicated attention.
- 2:06:50No Sir, this is the world of men.
- 2:06:53Don't embarrass yourself. No Sir, it doesn't work that
- 2:06:55way. I've taught you that when a
- 2:07:00politician travels from Saint Lagos to Abuja to celebrate the
- 2:07:06birthday of a 2 year old child of his friend, is he that
- 2:07:11passionate about the baby? A baby that cannot talk?
- 2:07:21You'll see somebody who is busy with matters on his table, he
- 2:07:25leaves them and comes and is playing with a toddler and the
- 2:07:29baby is crying around, fooling around and everybody is still
- 2:07:31enjoying everything and laughing.
- 2:07:33Let's be sensible enough to know that it was not about the baby.
- 2:07:37He's registering his presence. Even if it is selfishly so, it's
- 2:07:41still an investment. At least tomorrow the photos
- 2:07:45will show that this one was here when you are appointing
- 2:07:48positions. OK, This one, I see him play
- 2:07:51with my child. I see that this one is an ally.
- 2:07:54I OK, you become chairman and then you jump.
- 2:07:57Out. Of nowhere and say where is my
- 2:07:58share? They say it doesn't work that
- 2:08:00way. It's only God who loves
- 2:08:03unconditionally. Men don't love like that.
- 2:08:06They look at your investments. I hope you are learning wisdom
- 2:08:12to find a way out. Start investing now.
- 2:08:17Don't wait until you find a special friend.
- 2:08:19Be a good person. If you are good to only one
- 2:08:22person, you are not a good man. You are just a selfish investor
- 2:08:26looking for somebody to prey on. If you are genuinely good, you
- 2:08:29scatter your seats abroad, Somebody can make up your mind
- 2:08:33after service to say, you know what, I will do this for two
- 2:08:36months. I'm not putting you under
- 2:08:37pressure. I will bring an extra bus and on
- 2:08:40my way home anybody I can carry. Even though you do that
- 2:08:45carefully because we live in a wicked world now.
- 2:08:48People have waylaid people's kindness and kidnap them.
- 2:08:50May God forbidity in Jesus name is someone getting what I'm
- 2:08:56saying now. Yes, some of you want children
- 2:08:59around you. You have never said you know
- 2:09:01what, buy 10 naira. OK Biscuit Ford.
- 2:09:05OK, I agree you don't like the adults, at least the children
- 2:09:11you want to receive from the larger body of believers.
- 2:09:14I am telling you please listen to me.
- 2:09:16Listen to me. Invest in people's lives.
- 2:09:20Scatter your seeds abroad. When you see people rejoicing,
- 2:09:23sow your seed in their joy. Are we together now?
- 2:09:27You see someone crying, Sow the seed of compassion.
- 2:09:30I may not know you, but I heard that you lost your mother.
- 2:09:33I'm so sorry. So sorry about that.
- 2:09:36Here is 1000 naira. This is too small, but you may
- 2:09:39buy recharge card with you. Just to follow up.
- 2:09:41Please insist, they say. Oh no, no, no, no, no.
- 2:09:44Insist. Drop it there.
- 2:09:45They note you and go back and the woman is talking to her
- 2:09:48husband and say, I've been watching this lady call her.
- 2:09:51We're looking for someone to head one of our conglomerates.
- 2:09:54What did you study? And the lady said, well, what is
- 2:09:58not what I can do whatever it is that you want to give me, I can
- 2:10:02do it. Are we learning?
- 2:10:11I can do it. OK, come.
- 2:10:13You will manage this. And all of a sudden you will see
- 2:10:16a supposedly unqualified person in one day.
- 2:10:20What she was owing in total would be her first salary as
- 2:10:23they give it. And you're wondering she's come
- 2:10:25out of that financial condition because the way of escape.
- 2:10:30It depends on your association with the larger body of
- 2:10:33believers who believes what I just said.
- 2:10:39If you offend people, tell them. Sorry, Ellie, the earlier the
- 2:10:43cheaper it will be more expensive if you allow it to
- 2:10:46prolong. I'm sorry I shouted at you
- 2:10:49during praise and worship. Now that I possibly speaking,
- 2:10:52you just reach out their hands and say, you know what I mean.
- 2:10:55No offense. It's just a passion to receive.
- 2:10:57I came with troubles from my house.
- 2:11:00Swallow your pride now before the person you are looking down
- 2:11:04on. You will later find out that
- 2:11:06where you applied for a job, that's the owner of the company.
- 2:11:11And then you come and meet us and say this is not about
- 2:11:14binding and casting. The man is not a demon.
- 2:11:16He's a human being who you have offended.
- 2:11:18You go and make peace. I hope I'm not wasting your
- 2:11:22time. So there is an intellectual
- 2:11:25component to deliverance. I know most of us like the
- 2:11:30prayer and the word part because it deals with God directly.
- 2:11:32This is the part that deals with men.
- 2:11:34You need to leverage on the larger body of believers.
- 2:11:39If someone does something well, say thank you.
- 2:11:42If people do something nice to you, say God bless you.
- 2:11:45I've taught you this. You offend people.
- 2:11:47Don't wait until the day you act like you are not aware.
- 2:11:50Just say I'm sorry fast. I mean it sincerely.
- 2:11:55They may act like they did not receive.
- 2:11:57Don't worry, you have sown the seed.
- 2:12:00Is someone learning the way of asking?
- 2:12:12Let me tell you this, every time you find people who used to help
- 2:12:17you start declining, tell me two keys that you will use to
- 2:12:21recover yourself. I'll be disappointed if you've
- 2:12:23forgotten because I've tortured in this house.
- 2:12:26Key number 10. No key #2 gratitude.
- 2:12:31Let's try it again. Key number one, key key number
- 2:12:3421, more time key #1 honor, key #2 gratitude.
- 2:12:39Once you find out that benevolence towards you is
- 2:12:42shrinking, is a sign that number one, either the person giving is
- 2:12:48not doing well and needs encouragement or you have done
- 2:12:51something foolish through the process.
- 2:12:54So you quickly water down that that impression by lavishing
- 2:13:00honor and lavishing gratitude. Who is learning?
- 2:13:04Yes, gratitude is a Redeemer. Oh, no is a Redeemer, I'm
- 2:13:09telling you. Hello, my dear uncle.
- 2:13:18Good afternoon, Sir. This is not one of those days.
- 2:13:22I'm asking for anything today so they don't delete your text in
- 2:13:27advance because of the foolishness.
- 2:13:29Of. Always begging and not saying
- 2:13:31thank you. Listen, listen, Kononia, listen.
- 2:13:36This is coming from a thoughtful believer saying thank you for
- 2:13:41what you've done to me, what you've done to my parents and
- 2:13:44the way you've sponsored me, maybe in school or accommodation
- 2:13:47or whatever. I want to say thank you.
- 2:13:49I do not take your generosity for granted.
- 2:13:52You didn't have to do this. But now that you have done this,
- 2:13:55please accept my gratitude. Even if you never help me again,
- 2:13:59I still remain grateful forever. God bless you, Sir.
- 2:14:02And then you pray on it. You see where prayer comes in,
- 2:14:06the man will receive it and the Holy Ghost will tell the person,
- 2:14:10why do you want to stop paying the school fees of this child?
- 2:14:13Pay that person's school fees till PhD and the person will
- 2:14:16call you and say, because you have done this, I will bless you
- 2:14:20and I will even start paying you accommodation.
- 2:14:23Very simple things produce supernatural results #4 #5 #5 I
- 2:14:34hope someone is learning. So you build godly relationships
- 2:14:38by being kind, by being loving, by being caring to others.
- 2:14:43That way you will benefit from the larger body of believers.
- 2:14:47Aside from the gift of your presence, the gift of service,
- 2:14:51the gift of participation, you must show the gift of kindness,
- 2:14:56of love, and of care #5 Let me give you the fifth key.
- 2:15:01I hope someone is learning to come out of any calamity
- 2:15:06temptation trials. Keep your joy alive and active.
- 2:15:10Write that down. Keep your joy alive and active.
- 2:15:17Nehemiah chapter 8 and verse 10 popular scripture.
- 2:15:20Keep your joy alive and active. The ending part says for the joy
- 2:15:27of the Lord is your strength. Koinonia said that after me the
- 2:15:32joy of the Lord is my strength. In Habakkuk chapter 317 to 19,
- 2:15:39just right for reference, the Bible talks about although the
- 2:15:42fig tree not blossoming, neither be fruit in the vine.
- 2:15:46Even if the labor of the olive fails, you know, and all of that
- 2:15:49and there's no flock you know is say yet I will rejoice in the
- 2:15:55Lord and I will joy in the God of my salvation.
- 2:15:58Please look up. Let me tell you why you need joy
- 2:16:02because there are times in having and that's why I said
- 2:16:06make reference to my teaching the principles of restoration or
- 2:16:10restoration. I teach there that one of the
- 2:16:13ways that restoration happens is through the power of self
- 2:16:17examination. Are we together?
- 2:16:20Self examination means that there are times where the
- 2:16:25trouble you are facing was caused by your carelessness.
- 2:16:29Are we together by your ignorance or by your violation
- 2:16:33of God's principles? At that point, it's not just
- 2:16:37enough to shrug it off and say it doesn't matter, God just
- 2:16:39deliver me. No, when you learn from mistakes
- 2:16:43you accelerate your deliverance out of that problem faster.
- 2:16:47Every time you are in trouble, don't just sit in pride giving
- 2:16:51excuses. Humble yourself and learn fast
- 2:16:54the faster you learn and that comes through self examination.
- 2:17:00The Bible says let a man examine himself.
- 2:17:04That's what the prodigal son did.
- 2:17:06As soon as he examined himself, the way of escape came quickly.
- 2:17:12For as long as you get yourself in trouble and you're still
- 2:17:15wallowing with pride, pride that is coated with spirituality.
- 2:17:19You don't believe that you are the reason why this business
- 2:17:23went down. You don't believe it was your
- 2:17:25carelessness and disrespect and dishonor that made them to
- 2:17:29demote you or throw you out of the job.
- 2:17:31For as long as you are not willing to take responsibility,
- 2:17:35you will be multiplying your problems.
- 2:17:37But then sometimes, after admitting you're wrong, guilt
- 2:17:42can eat up your mind. Listen, and sometimes you can
- 2:17:45feel disappointed in your destiny.
- 2:17:48I was not serious. Why did I insult my boss?
- 2:17:51I would have been more temperate.
- 2:17:52That's where the the issue of joy comes.
- 2:17:55No matter what happens, do not allow the devil use the things
- 2:18:00around your life to kill your joy.
- 2:18:02You must keep your joy alive, and you must keep it active.
- 2:18:06Who is learning? Joy is powerful.
- 2:18:09There are too many things that happen in your life every 24
- 2:18:14hour to dampen your joy and cause you pain and cause you
- 2:18:19anger and sadness. But you must make up your mind
- 2:18:22that I will not allow anything kill my joy, that my joy will
- 2:18:26flow like a river. Is someone learning now?
- 2:18:28You lost your job, but protect your joy.
- 2:18:31You lost your money but protect your joy.
- 2:18:33Are we together? You may have lost your
- 2:18:35influence, but protect your joy. You lost relationship with
- 2:18:39strategic people, but protect your joy.
- 2:18:41I give you a disclaimer in protecting your joy.
- 2:18:45Do not allow joy consciousness to stop you from examining
- 2:18:49yourself. I will repeat that again.
- 2:18:52There are people who make foolish mistakes in life and
- 2:18:55they use a a cover of joy to hideaway from a sense of
- 2:19:00responsibility. You remain with your joy, but
- 2:19:05you must go back and examine yourself.
- 2:19:08How did I contribute to this tragedy?
- 2:19:11How did I yield to this temptation?
- 2:19:13How did I create this loophole? I broke the hedge and now see
- 2:19:18how the devil has has struck me and my family.
- 2:19:22I take responsibility like the prodigal son, but in the name of
- 2:19:25Jesus, in spite of it, my joy will remain like a river because
- 2:19:29I joy in the God of my salvation.
- 2:19:32Are you saying how how it works now?
- 2:19:36So the person who greed made him to lose 1 million or 10 million
- 2:19:41or 100 million, he has not learned how to be frugal and to
- 2:19:47be wise and seek counsel. But then he says, I know I will
- 2:19:50remain in my joy, but the joy is still there.
- 2:19:52With the foolish financial decision, he will most likely
- 2:19:55recycle that thing again. Are we together now?
- 2:19:58So once you maintain your joy, there must be a moment of honest
- 2:20:04self examination. This calamity I'm in, is it
- 2:20:08caused by demons? Is it caused by my carelessness?
- 2:20:12Is it dishonor? Is it lack of diligence?
- 2:20:15Is it that I refuse to grow? Is it that I refuse to shut my
- 2:20:18mouth? I said so and so about someone.
- 2:20:21It backfired. If you learn these things, then
- 2:20:23you can now rejoice and you have conquered that situation.
- 2:20:27I'm praying for you. Any challenge right now that
- 2:20:30you're in and it was caused by your mistakes.
- 2:20:33It was caused by ignorance, maybe foolish decisions.
- 2:20:36As you maintain your joy, may the God of deliverance bring you
- 2:20:40out of that situation in the name of Jesus.
- 2:20:47Hallelujah. That's number five.
- 2:20:49Keep your joy alive and keep it active.
- 2:20:53Now, let me give you #6 engage the prophetic.
- 2:20:56Pay attention to what I'm about to say.
- 2:20:59There is a prophetic dimension as far as your deliverance from
- 2:21:06all kinds of negative situations.
- 2:21:08If you want to navigate your way through trials, through
- 2:21:12temptations, challenging situations as a way of escape,
- 2:21:18you will need to understand the prophetic.
- 2:21:20You will need to understand the prophetic.
- 2:21:23Now hear this, ladies and gentlemen.
- 2:21:27The prophetic can help you know the will of God concerning that
- 2:21:32situation. And the prophetic can provide a
- 2:21:37way of escape for you. The prophetic as a a ladder that
- 2:21:43brings a man to a place of escape.
- 2:21:46It can help you know the will of God concerning that situation
- 2:21:51you are in. And the prophetic can also
- 2:21:53provide a way of escape. Now generally speaking there are
- 2:22:00three ways to know the will of God concerning any matter.
- 2:22:04Number one is the written word, the written word.
- 2:22:08The will of God is captured in the written word #2 the ministry
- 2:22:13of the Holy Spirit. The revelatory ministry of the
- 2:22:16Holy Spirit can help a man to know the will of God #3 the
- 2:22:20prophetic. There are other supporting
- 2:22:24channels like instincts and all of that, but primarily these are
- 2:22:29the three principal channels according to Scripture for
- 2:22:32discerning and knowing the will of God, the written word, the
- 2:22:37revelatory ministry of the Holy Spirit, and then the prophetic.
- 2:22:41So I said here that the prophetic can help you to know
- 2:22:45the will of God concerning the situation you are currently in,
- 2:22:50and it can also provide a way of escape.
- 2:22:57The prophetic I wrote here under the influence of faith and the
- 2:23:01anointing can create a way of escape through words.
- 2:23:06The prophetic under the influence of faith and the
- 2:23:11anointing can create a way of escape through words.
- 2:23:16The prophetic under the influence of faith and the
- 2:23:20anointing can create a way of escape.
- 2:23:26Nigeria, listen to me, the body of Christ, please listen to me.
- 2:23:33In managing the excesses of the prophetic.
- 2:23:38I'm seeing something begin to happen across the horizon that
- 2:23:42is not healthy. Many genuine authentic people
- 2:23:47because of the way the prophetic ministry has not been held with
- 2:23:51honor, with consecration, with power, are we together and serve
- 2:23:56with integrity. And there's no hiding the fact
- 2:24:00that the prophetic across Nigeria and unfortunately across
- 2:24:04Africa, there's still more that needs to be done.
- 2:24:08There's not been a very good testimony generally around the
- 2:24:11prophetic ministry, unfortunately, from character
- 2:24:15challenges to all kinds of misuse of gifts and all of that.
- 2:24:19And we know that God is helping his body.
- 2:24:21There are people who are honestly repenting.
- 2:24:24Others are not, unfortunately. But generally we know that God
- 2:24:27is doing something across the prophetic ministry now to
- 2:24:31balance that. There is the spirit of fear that
- 2:24:36came through excessive criticism and is beginning to kill and
- 2:24:40water down the prophetic ministry, including the
- 2:24:44authentic prophetic ministry. Many young people who are
- 2:24:47genuinely prophetic of God consecrated people who love the
- 2:24:52Lord because of the controversy around being called a prophet or
- 2:24:57functioning as a prophet. People just prefer to now be a
- 2:25:00teacher or be whatever, at least the non controversial things.
- 2:25:03It is watering down the efficacy and the contribution of the
- 2:25:08prophetic and let me tell you this, a Clarion call in a bid to
- 2:25:13balance the excesses of the prophetic.
- 2:25:16We must not discourage the prophetic ministry.
- 2:25:19If the prophetic goes down, the territory will suffer.
- 2:25:23Take me for it. It is God's system.
- 2:25:27The foundation of the church was built upon the foundation of the
- 2:25:31apostles and the prophets. Like I will always say, anybody
- 2:25:37who is not doing ministry, particularly prophetic ministry
- 2:25:40with integrity and all of that, you can, you can leave the
- 2:25:44pulpit and walk on your life. Are we together now?
- 2:25:48Yes. You don't have to combine all
- 2:25:49your garbages and come to the pulpit.
- 2:25:52You can take a break and go and work on it.
- 2:25:54If if you met a witch, repent and go and rehabilitate yourself
- 2:25:59and start afresh again. But I'm saying that don't
- 2:26:03destroy the space. There is a space that the
- 2:26:07prophetic holds in God's program and the emergence of the Saints
- 2:26:12and even deliverance of this sort that no other ministry.
- 2:26:16No other ministry can cover for one prophetic declaration either
- 2:26:23as a creative word or the revelatory dimension of the
- 2:26:26prophetic. If done under the influence of
- 2:26:30the Spirit of God with the balance of the word from a
- 2:26:34consecrated vessel that loves God with integrity and
- 2:26:37discipline, it can work wonders in the life of people.
- 2:26:43A tragic situation of 10 years can be unraveled with two
- 2:26:48minutes of structure, prophecy, and the problem can be
- 2:26:51diagnosed. The solution comes, it should
- 2:26:53not make you a slave to the prophetic.
- 2:26:56No, it is what people become slaves to the prophetic when the
- 2:27:01word of God is not exalted beyond the gift, so people now
- 2:27:05become slaves. But ladies and gentlemen, I can
- 2:27:08tell you by the privilege of this Apostolic office, we should
- 2:27:12not tear down, separate the office from the persons.
- 2:27:18The prophetic office still remains a pure, potent
- 2:27:22contributor to God's program and an instrument of deliverance.
- 2:27:26The personalities, unfortunately, who occupied that
- 2:27:30office, for many of them, there's a lot of work to be
- 2:27:33done. And we pray by the mercy of God
- 2:27:36that God, who is the God of all grace, will keep helping all of
- 2:27:39us. But then when it has to do with
- 2:27:42receiving the prophetic, we have to be careful.
- 2:27:46There are people who don't want to hear the name Prof Once you
- 2:27:49hear P, it doesn't matter what you are saying.
- 2:27:53Thus said, they carry that nonsense out of here.
- 2:27:55Be careful, be careful. You may be rejecting one of the
- 2:27:58greatest gifts God has given you.
- 2:28:03Let me say this, if you are a woman and you are into the
- 2:28:08prophetic, I'm not doing a teaching on the prophetic, but
- 2:28:11let me tell you this, I hope I will have the time to teach that
- 2:28:14before the year is done. There is something about the
- 2:28:17prophetic ministry of women that if it is not under supervision,
- 2:28:21they would destroy many people more than heal them.
- 2:28:24And I will explain to you when the time of the teaching comes,
- 2:28:28it is not to downplay women. Don't get me wrong.
- 2:28:31What I'm saying. When you understand the
- 2:28:33spiritual structure of a woman, you will know why she will not
- 2:28:39take laws in her hands and just go and begin to prophecy without
- 2:28:42supervision. Eventually some of the greatest
- 2:28:46prophetic blunders have come from women in the prophetic.
- 2:28:49And I'm not being sarcastic now there are wonderful women in the
- 2:28:52prophetic doing great things. But some of the confusion,
- 2:28:56marital confusion, destiny confusion, whatever has come
- 2:29:00from women with all due respect and with all due honor,
- 2:29:03especially uneducated women in the prophetic and I'm not
- 2:29:08insulting, please don't get me wrong.
- 2:29:12Many destinies have been have been destroyed because they see,
- 2:29:17but they do not have spiritual intelligence nor structured
- 2:29:21mentorship to help their interpretation.
- 2:29:24So you will find out a mix of Prado African practices and even
- 2:29:28practices that are akin to witchcraft and then prophetic.
- 2:29:32And the woman really sees, but they don't even know why.
- 2:29:37They just believe they have a gift and they created one place
- 2:29:40and people come, they pray for them.
- 2:29:42And until you hear the stories behind the scene and the way
- 2:29:45people's lives was damaged and reduced almost to animals, don't
- 2:29:52act like you don't know what I'm saying.
- 2:29:57So if you are seated and you are listening to me and you are, you
- 2:30:02operate the prophetic office and you're a woman, look forward to
- 2:30:05that teaching. I will teach you how you can
- 2:30:07dispense that gift and extract away the imperfection and the
- 2:30:12impurity there. And don't think because you're a
- 2:30:17man, you are spared. Men have done more blunders, in
- 2:30:19fact, because of our pride. I see, I see.
- 2:30:23And everybody goes to confuse people and all of that.
- 2:30:26And you see the dangerous thing is that you will not score 0 in
- 2:30:29your prophecy. 1 prophecy will be correct.
- 2:30:33And that one is that is correct is the reason why you mislead
- 2:30:36other people because they've seen you say something that came
- 2:30:39to pass and they will take everything you say that it is
- 2:30:42from God. So we have to be careful.
- 2:30:44I hope that God will grant us the grace when we are dealing
- 2:30:47with gifts and offices. Hopefully we'll be able to look
- 2:30:49a bit into that, the prophetic ministry.
- 2:30:53But my point is this, when God is showing a money way of
- 2:30:57escape, among the many factors that blend together, the
- 2:31:02prophetic is 1 of it. It can help you understand the
- 2:31:06will of God concerning that situation, discern the course of
- 2:31:11that situation. I am a great beneficiary of the
- 2:31:14prophetic ministry. In as much as God has used me to
- 2:31:18prophecy to others, I have also been a beneficiary of the
- 2:31:22prophetic. I know how it has enhanced my
- 2:31:26life as a person. So what we do is we separate the
- 2:31:31baby and the bathwater. We don't throw everything away.
- 2:31:35The personalities may need some work, but the ministry as sent
- 2:31:39by God must be allowed to carry out its function.
- 2:31:44Are we learning now? Yes.
- 2:31:52I'm saying this because I'm about to speak over your life.
- 2:31:55The prophetic is powerful if understood and if engaged with
- 2:32:00the purity of heart, with with honor to the supremacy of the
- 2:32:05world, it literally can yank a person out from a an unfavorable
- 2:32:12situation and bring you to a place of honor.
- 2:32:17I have seen the things that have been spoken to my life.
- 2:32:20I've seen them come to pass. I've seen people prophecy.
- 2:32:23I've seen fathers of faith speak.
- 2:32:26It may not necessarily be revealing things, but making
- 2:32:29prophetic declarations. And we're foolish enough to
- 2:32:32shout Amen and receive. Let me tell someone in the name
- 2:32:35of Jesus, from August till December, I decree and declare
- 2:32:40in the name that is above all names, every calamity.
- 2:32:43It will not pass this year. Every long standing issue.
- 2:32:50I say to you, it will not exit. 2025 There must be a way out,
- 2:32:55There must be a way of escape. I say to you, there must be a
- 2:32:59way out. There must be a way of escape.
- 2:33:02That financial situation will not cross. 2025 My God will come
- 2:33:07through for you financially. He will come through maritally.
- 2:33:13He will come through in terms of your children.
- 2:33:15He will come through for you in your career in the name of.
- 2:33:19Jesus Christ. I like the scripture that says
- 2:33:25surely there is an end. Surely there is an end.
- 2:33:29That is the assignment of the prophetic, that when God says
- 2:33:34the situation has come to an end, the prophetic puts a full
- 2:33:38stop. It changes every comma to a full
- 2:33:41stop and says no more. This tragedy must come to an
- 2:33:44end. In the name of Jesus, shame and
- 2:33:46reproach. I'm prophesying over someone you
- 2:33:49have cried from January to August.
- 2:33:51In the name of Jesus Christ. Let shame and reproach come to
- 2:33:55an end. Now let.
- 2:33:58Shame and reproach come to an end now.
- 2:34:02Let disappointments come to an end now.
- 2:34:06Let tragedies come to an end now.
- 2:34:11I pray for you. The haziness in the spirit that
- 2:34:14is not allowing you see well, that is not allowing you hear
- 2:34:18well, that is not allowing you to discern what to do.
- 2:34:21In the name of Jesus, the Son of the living God, let there be
- 2:34:24clarity of vision, clarity of vision, clarity of vision.
- 2:34:32Declare it to your vision. I prophecy to your hands.
- 2:34:36Nothing held by your hands will fall down.
- 2:34:41If it's the work of your hands, let it prosper.
- 2:34:45In the name of Jesus I prophecy over your mind.
- 2:34:49I decree and declare extraordinary intelligence,
- 2:34:54extraordinary intelligence, extraordinary intelligence,
- 2:35:00extraordinary intelligence. In the name of Jesus.
- 2:35:06For your shame, receive double. I'm speaking from the depth of
- 2:35:11my spirit. I say it again.
- 2:35:13For your shame, receive double. For your shame Koinonia, receive
- 2:35:19double. In the name of Jesus, I call for
- 2:35:23help us to your life. Even strangers, may they come as
- 2:35:28help us. In the name of Jesus.
- 2:35:32Where your hand cannot reach, may the hand of God receive it
- 2:35:35and put it in your hand. Where your hand cannot reach,
- 2:35:39may the hand of God receive it and put it in your hand.
- 2:35:43In the name of Jesus, your eye will no longer see evil.
- 2:35:49Your eye will no longer see wickedness.
- 2:35:52In the name of Jesus, I purify your dreams.
- 2:35:57You will lie down to sleep and you will wake up with a 10 year
- 2:36:00download of your destiny. You will lie down to sleep and
- 2:36:05you will wake up with a 10 year download of your destiny in the
- 2:36:09name of Jesus Christ. When men say there is a casting
- 2:36:13down I prophecy upon you, let there be a lifting up.
- 2:36:17Let there be a lifting up. Let there be a lifting up.
- 2:36:21Let there be restoration. Let there be restoration.
- 2:36:24Koinonia, receive restoration everything you've lost from last
- 2:36:29year into this year. I pray that the God of
- 2:36:33restoration will restore you. You may have been taken for a
- 2:36:37pray, but in Jesus name I come and restore.
- 2:36:41I come and restore. I come and restore.
- 2:36:45I come and restore, I come and restore.
- 2:36:50I pray for you. You will not go down
- 2:36:52financially. May Jehovah Jireh surprise you.
- 2:36:57In the name of Jesus, step into the level of prophetic wealth,
- 2:37:02wealth that comes by prophecy in addition to your creativity and
- 2:37:07value. Let the prophetics can do favor
- 2:37:10for you. In the name of Jesus, I decree
- 2:37:15and declare. If it will cost you shame, May
- 2:37:18God take you away from it. Did you hear what I said?
- 2:37:22If it will cost you pain, May God take you away from it.
- 2:37:27If they will cause you pain, May God take you away from them.
- 2:37:31In the name of Jesus. I hear my spirit.
- 2:37:35A new chapter, a new chapter, a new chapter.
- 2:37:40I don't know who this is for, but I prophecy a new chapter in
- 2:37:44the name of Jesus. It will not be like yesterday
- 2:37:48again. You are entering into your new,
- 2:37:51a new chapter, a new page. I speak it to you.
- 2:37:55I know you are receiving, but I speak it again.
- 2:37:58A new chapter to a man of God and time to a new season of
- 2:38:04exploits. Let the anointing of the Holy
- 2:38:07Ghost come upon you. A new season of the teaching
- 2:38:10ministry. A new season of the prophetic.
- 2:38:14A new season of science and wonders.
- 2:38:17A new season of the healing ministry.
- 2:38:19A new season of leadership. I pray for those in business.
- 2:38:24Your hand will not go down. I call for clans from all over
- 2:38:29the globe in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, those
- 2:38:35trusting God for the fruit of the womb.
- 2:38:38Welcome to your season where you carry your children.
- 2:38:42Welcome to your season where you carry your children.
- 2:38:46In the name of Jesus. Every sickness in your body
- 2:38:51beating up your finances and causing the glory of God to be
- 2:38:55depleted from your life. I pray for you be healed now.
- 2:39:00I pray for you be healed now. Be healed now.
- 2:39:05Be healed now to someone by prophecy.
- 2:39:09We open the book of remembrance. We open the book of remembrance.
- 2:39:16You help that company rise. Step into your season of
- 2:39:19rewards. Who helped that family rise
- 2:39:22before? Step into your season of
- 2:39:24consolation in the name of Jesus.
- 2:39:38Hear me anyone who has asked you where is your God this week?
- 2:39:43May God use your results to answer them.
- 2:39:47The strange workings of the Spirit of God over your life.
- 2:39:51Let it be the answer to those who have mocked your God in the
- 2:39:55name of Jesus. Hear me, I sense in my spirit
- 2:40:03that there are people. The next season of your life is
- 2:40:06overseas. I usually will not do this, but
- 2:40:09there is no way on earth. The way you are now, you don't
- 2:40:12even have the capacity. I use the power of prophecy and
- 2:40:17I decree and declare. May God relocate you to your
- 2:40:20next season. May my God relocate you to your
- 2:40:26next season. Relocate you to your next
- 2:40:30season. Hallelujah.
- 2:40:33Please don't be distracted. I'm programming something to
- 2:40:36your spirit. The vision that I'm having is
- 2:40:39Ezekiel 37. God wants to rearrange.
- 2:40:42Things some of you need to be in Abuja.
- 2:40:46In that state, where you are is not your place of destiny.
- 2:40:50Some of you are in Abuja but this is not your place of
- 2:40:53destiny. I pray for you, from now till
- 2:40:56December, let there be a divine rearrangement.
- 2:41:01Divine rearrangement according to your prophetic script.
- 2:41:05I say to you, divine rearrangement.
- 2:41:08If your destinies abroad, we release you to go.
- 2:41:12If your destiny is back home, we release you to be here.
- 2:41:17If your destiny is in the South and you are in the north, may my
- 2:41:21God relocate you in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 2:41:29If where you are walking. It is not the place for your
- 2:41:32next season. I pray for you by the power that
- 2:41:35race Christ from the dead. Let the chapter of the new job
- 2:41:39that connects you to the new season.
- 2:41:41Let it be open for you now. Let it be open for you now.
- 2:41:47Yeah, I mean, whoever you need to meet.
- 2:41:51But it's been delayed by demon spirits.
- 2:41:54If you had met the person, you would have gone forward.
- 2:41:56Now I pray for you where your hands cannot reach.
- 2:42:00I push you by prophecy. I push you by prophecy.
- 2:42:05I push you by prophecy. I push you by prophecy in the
- 2:42:10name of Jesus, David, find Jonathan in the name of Jesus.
- 2:42:18Lord, find Abraham in the name of Jesus.
- 2:42:23Chester, find Mordecai in the name of Jesus.
- 2:42:30Ruth, find Naomi in the name of Jesus.
- 2:42:37Paul, find Silas in the name of Jesus.
- 2:42:42Peter, find John in the name of Jesus.
- 2:42:47I pray for you, the company you should be part of that holds the
- 2:42:51answer to your next season. I push you into that company.
- 2:42:56I remove you from demonic companies in the name of Jesus.
- 2:43:02Don't stop receiving. I want to pray prayer for you
- 2:43:05that I prayed here before, but it's the Spirit of prophecies on
- 2:43:09me. Let me pray that prayer where
- 2:43:11you have been serving people who have despised what you carry.
- 2:43:15They don't have an appreciation for the gift of God upon you.
- 2:43:19I pray for you. May my God change your audience.
- 2:43:27May my God change your audience. May my God send you to people
- 2:43:33who have an appreciation for what you carry.
- 2:43:35May my God send you to people who will receive what He has put
- 2:43:40in your spirit. I pray this over a pastor.
- 2:43:44I pray this over a businessman. I pray this over a career
- 2:43:47person. You will not be where they will
- 2:43:50despise you. Listen, some of you are in
- 2:43:59calamities and tragedies, but the treasure you carry in you,
- 2:44:03if you were in the right atmosphere, the world will be
- 2:44:05celebrating you. But because you are around those
- 2:44:08who are familiar with you, they are used to you.
- 2:44:11They have no appreciation for the gift of God in you.
- 2:44:14While you additional treasures that can change nations.
- 2:44:17You find people trivializing it, and they make others trivialize
- 2:44:21what you carry. I pray for you.
- 2:44:23Enter your season of honor. Koinonia.
- 2:44:28Enter your season of honor. They will celebrate God's hand
- 2:44:32upon your life. They will reward you for being
- 2:44:35anointed. They will reward you for being
- 2:44:38prayerful. They will reward you for
- 2:44:40fasting. They will reward you for loving
- 2:44:43Jesus in the name of Jesus. Now let me pray over those who
- 2:44:52are in any kind of financial calamity, please receive this,
- 2:44:56whether for you or for your loved ones, whether corporate
- 2:44:59debt, whether personal debt, make no mistakes about it.
- 2:45:04The prophetic as an expression to your being wealthy.
- 2:45:09I pray for you. That axe head that sunk, I don't
- 2:45:13care how many years it went down, by the power that raised
- 2:45:16Christ from the dead. That financial axe head, I
- 2:45:19command it. To float.
- 2:45:20Now I command the way out for your finances through the gift
- 2:45:27of man, through the ministry of man in the name of Jesus.
- 2:45:34Somebody you don't. Know.
- 2:45:37Will wake up by the Spirit and God will place it in their
- 2:45:40heart. This is not to endorse laziness.
- 2:45:43While you are about being diligent, while you are about
- 2:45:47being productive, my God will support your journey in the name
- 2:45:53of Jesus. Yeah, me.
- 2:45:56Every project in your hand that has refused to be completed
- 2:46:01psychologically, physically, structurally, I pray for you.
- 2:46:05Let the finishers anointing rest upon it, rest upon it.
- 2:46:10Rest upon it. Rest upon it, rest upon it, rest
- 2:46:14upon it. Hear me where you are being
- 2:46:20rejected, that mark of rejection on your head.
- 2:46:24That makes you to be despised. You submit something, they throw
- 2:46:27it away. You go in the midst of people,
- 2:46:29they push you away. I pray for you.
- 2:46:32That mark of rejection by the blood of Jesus may be erased
- 2:46:36from your head, may be erased from your destiny, may be erased
- 2:46:41from your head, may be erased from your destiny in the name of
- 2:46:46Jesus, like I have taught. You in this House?
- 2:46:50The strategy to come out? Receive it now.
- 2:46:55The strategy for escape? Receive it now.
- 2:47:00In the name of Jesus, hear me. You belong to a ministry that
- 2:47:06has been marvelously helped by God.
- 2:47:09Marvelously honored by God, I'm praying for you every grace in
- 2:47:13this house that is not yet speaking in your life.
- 2:47:16I agree with you from this night in the name of Jesus. 1 by 1 you
- 2:47:20will begin to see it walk. 1 by 1 you will.
- 2:47:24Begin to see it walk one by one. It will work in succession in
- 2:47:29the name of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah by the message of.
- 2:47:40God, I am yet to go to any nation that has rejected me or
- 2:47:45the wisdom and the grace that God has given.
- 2:47:48Therefore I pray for you. Every region that rejects you, I
- 2:47:52decree and declare. That mark of rejection, Let it
- 2:47:55be wiped from your face. Wipe from your face.
- 2:47:59Wipe from your face. Hear me?
- 2:48:03Strangers will talk to strangers about you.
- 2:48:07Did you hear what I said? Strangers will talk to strangers
- 2:48:10about you, about your business, about your ministry, about the
- 2:48:15hand of God upon you, in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 2:48:28Now let me speak about the spirits that have been fighting
- 2:48:31your destiny. If you don't believe it, you
- 2:48:36can. You can put down your hands, but
- 2:48:38I pray for you every attack that is demonically engineered in
- 2:48:43your place of work. Among those who say they love
- 2:48:47you, they smile with you, but partner with the devil and it is
- 2:48:51their desire to bring you down. They they punch for it every
- 2:48:55day. They want to see your testimony
- 2:48:57corrupted. I pray for you, the spirit that
- 2:49:01is assigned over your destiny to destroy your testimony to
- 2:49:05destroy your life. We command that spirit to give
- 2:49:08way now, to give way now, to give way now, to give way now.
- 2:49:19Spirits assigned to fight your testimony, to fight your
- 2:49:23integrity, to make your good, to be seen as evil and evil to be
- 2:49:27seen for good, to make others rise while they keep you down.
- 2:49:31I pray for you Koinonia, this night, by the power that raised
- 2:49:35Christ from the dead, I declare those chains broken and I
- 2:49:39declare those spirits leave your destiny now.
- 2:49:45Every spirit that blinded the eyes of your helper so that they
- 2:49:49don't see you as one who is deserving of help, I'm praying
- 2:49:52for you. The witchcraft manipulation upon
- 2:49:56them like a spell that will not allow them fulfill prophecy over
- 2:50:00your life. I command that spell broken,
- 2:50:04broken, broken, broken, broken, broken, broken.
- 2:50:11In the name of Jesus, my final prayer for you tonight I decree
- 2:50:19and declare. Favour is a real grace.
- 2:50:22It is carriable. You can it can rest on you.
