The Dynamics of Faith (The Verdict) · Apostle Joshua Selman

0:00
Speaker 1: Allelujah, Praise the Lord, who would not want to preach
0:05
Speaker 1: in a church like this. Amazing, May God bless you.
0:09
Speaker 1: I truly appreciate honor. I will want us together to
0:15
Speaker 1: celebrate apostle to the mayor and his dear wife and.
0:19
Speaker 2: Him and him anything. Let's keep standing. Let me just
0:28
Speaker 2: say one or two things.
0:29
Speaker 1: You see, when we take our time to honor and
0:32
Speaker 1: celebrate people, it is.
0:34
Speaker 2: Not human worship.
0:36
Speaker 1: I know that here and there you will find exaggerations
0:39
Speaker 1: where it seems as though when you celebrate people, what
0:43
Speaker 1: you are celebrating is the sacrifice of alignment, the pains,
0:48
Speaker 1: taking sacrifice to stay with God and follow the blueprint
0:54
Speaker 1: of the Spirit for you, and the result that has
0:57
Speaker 1: come out of that obedience that is blessing me. That's
1:00
Speaker 1: what we celebrate a way together now. The Bible says
1:04
Speaker 1: every house is built by some man, even though God
1:07
Speaker 1: is the builder of all.
1:09
Speaker 2: So you do not celebrate God alone.
1:11
Speaker 1: You also celebrate the obedience, the sacrifice, the alignment of
1:15
Speaker 1: the vessel. And we live in times where it's becoming
1:19
Speaker 1: out of fashion too. Sincerely, honor the sacrifices of people
1:23
Speaker 1: which trivialize the investments of people through the years, and
1:27
Speaker 1: we make it look like, after all, they were just favored,
1:30
Speaker 1: after all they were just anointed. After all, it was
1:34
Speaker 1: just an election of grace. It's a very, very incorrect perception.
1:40
Speaker 1: Whenever God wants to meet Israel, he finds Jacob prays
1:45
Speaker 1: the name of the Lord. It took Mary saying be
1:47
Speaker 1: it onto me for Jesus to come. It was not
1:51
Speaker 1: just the power of the Holy Spirit alone. It was
1:53
Speaker 1: the pains taking corporation of a woman. She took a
1:56
Speaker 1: part of her life and invested it in sacrifice for
2:00
Speaker 1: salvation to happen. One more time, Please honor the Angel
2:04
Speaker 1: over this house and his dear wife, press the Lord.
2:13
Speaker 1: Just just by way of just by way of addition,
2:18
Speaker 1: it may be a culture you want to practice to
2:21
Speaker 1: always honor a man of God and his wife. It
2:26
Speaker 1: is very is it is a display of hypocrisy to
2:31
Speaker 1: celebrate a man of God and there his wife is there,
2:33
Speaker 1: and you ignore her, or celebrate the woman of God
2:36
Speaker 1: and ignore the husband. Now, according to God's word and
2:41
Speaker 1: according to the reality of life, the truth is that
2:44
Speaker 1: behind every man who is successful, there must be a
2:48
Speaker 1: visionary woman who is standing there.
2:50
Speaker 2: We land this.
2:52
Speaker 1: It is true allelujah.
3:00
Speaker 2: We are students, Thank you.
3:02
Speaker 1: We're students of history, and we have seen how that
3:07
Speaker 1: from scripture everything was all right in the palace, in
3:11
Speaker 1: the Book of Esther, everything was all right, but one
3:15
Speaker 1: woman's defiance was about to divide the palace into two.
3:19
Speaker 1: He was not war. It was not the rebellion of
3:22
Speaker 1: the horsemen. One woman, her refusal to cooperate and comply
3:28
Speaker 1: with the king was leading to a threat that could
3:31
Speaker 1: divide one hundred and twenty seven provinces into two. So
3:37
Speaker 1: please do not just celebrate a man and ignore his wife,
3:41
Speaker 1: whether you are aware of the role that she's playing,
3:45
Speaker 1: or even if she's not playing a role directly. In
3:47
Speaker 1: a general sense, you have to realize that there are
3:51
Speaker 1: many dynamics that play to bring up a grace that blesses.
3:55
Speaker 1: There are people who pray, There are people who cook,
3:59
Speaker 1: There are people who find without another prophetess, Jesus would
4:03
Speaker 1: not arrive without seeing on the prophet. Jesus would not
4:05
Speaker 1: arrive without Joseph of Arimathea. The influence to take Jesus
4:11
Speaker 1: to the cross and bring him down would not be there.
4:14
Speaker 1: There were many other auxiliary support systems that helped salvation
4:18
Speaker 1: to happen.
4:19
Speaker 2: So it must be a culture.
4:20
Speaker 1: To celebrate not only the center point of greatness, but
4:24
Speaker 1: everything around it. A were together. I like us to
4:28
Speaker 1: also appreciate Reverend and Munslom. May God bless you, my God.
4:33
Speaker 2: Amen.
4:39
Speaker 1: The last time we met, he was a lamb, and
4:43
Speaker 1: on this stage we saw a lion amazing.
4:46
Speaker 2: May the Lord bless you. We honor your ministry, Sir, who.
4:52
Speaker 3: Is like him the lion and the see t on, throw.
5:05
Speaker 4: Mountains bound down, and every ocean role.
5:11
Speaker 2: To the Lord of lords.
5:15
Speaker 4: We will praise Ah do night, from the rising after
5:24
Speaker 4: the sun to the end of every day.
5:29
Speaker 2: Praise a do night all the nation self.
5:37
Speaker 4: Tear, all the angels and the saints see praise Father.
5:44
Speaker 1: We have come to receive. We have come with hearts open.
5:48
Speaker 1: We have come as proof that we trust you. We
5:51
Speaker 1: have come acknowledging our limitations. We have come as our
5:56
Speaker 1: commitment to grow, to rise, to thrive, to access hell,
6:00
Speaker 1: and to walk in victory. We pray by your spirit
6:03
Speaker 1: that you will help us this morning. In addition to
6:06
Speaker 1: all the sessions past, I pray that your word will
6:09
Speaker 1: come with power. Let it come with accuracy. In the
6:13
Speaker 1: name of Jesus Christ. Amen, God, bless you, please be
6:16
Speaker 1: seated again. Let me also celebrate every servant of God
6:22
Speaker 1: here I honor you, appreciate you, and celebrate you in
6:25
Speaker 1: the name of Jesus Christ, allelujah. Yesterday we began to
6:32
Speaker 1: discuss the subject of faith. Lord placed it in my
6:42
Speaker 1: heart to share with us on the dynamics of Bible
6:47
Speaker 1: faith and to help us understand and engage the principles
6:54
Speaker 1: of faith. The faith that works, the faith that produces.
7:00
Speaker 1: Define faith yesterday as the action that we take based
7:04
Speaker 1: on our conviction on.
7:07
Speaker 2: Who God is and the integrity of His word.
7:11
Speaker 1: Yesterday we spoke about two attributes of God that the
7:15
Speaker 1: believer's faith depends upon. Number one, we said, his integrity,
7:19
Speaker 1: his quality of consistency on bendedness. Number two his ability
7:25
Speaker 1: Ephesients three twenty. The Bible says, now unto him who
7:29
Speaker 1: is able to do, exceeding abundantly far above all that
7:34
Speaker 1: we ask or think, according to the power that works
7:40
Speaker 1: with us. The Bible says in Hebrews eleven, verse six,
7:44
Speaker 1: that he that comes to.
7:45
Speaker 2: God must believe that He exists.
7:48
Speaker 1: Number one, and then number two, that he has the
7:52
Speaker 1: power to reward those who diligently seek him.
7:56
Speaker 2: Praise the name of the Lord.
7:57
Speaker 1: Now this morning, very quickly be looking at the keys
8:03
Speaker 1: to producing Bible faith, the dynamics of faith.
8:08
Speaker 2: Number one.
8:10
Speaker 1: The first key that is responsible for the manifestation of
8:14
Speaker 1: Bible faith is meditation.
8:17
Speaker 2: The power of meditation.
8:20
Speaker 1: The power of meditation Joshua, Chapter one and verse eight.
8:24
Speaker 1: The Bible says, this book of the Law shall not
8:26
Speaker 1: depart from out of your mouth.
8:28
Speaker 2: It says, but thou shall meditate daring day and night.
8:33
Speaker 2: That means it must be a consistent activity.
8:37
Speaker 1: That dow mayors observe to do all that is written
8:41
Speaker 1: daring says, Then shall you make your ways prosperous and
8:45
Speaker 1: you shall have good success? Please say meditation, What does
8:50
Speaker 1: it mean to meditate? Meditation has to do with contemplation.
8:53
Speaker 1: That you point that deeply by the spirit of God.
8:57
Speaker 1: You pour that deeply upon the words spoken. You point
9:01
Speaker 1: that deeply upon the principles thoughts. Now, generally speaking, the
9:06
Speaker 1: Bible contains three basic information. Number one, please write it down.
9:11
Speaker 1: The Bible contains promises. The Bible contains promises number one.
9:18
Speaker 1: Number two, the Bible contains principles, The principles of the
9:24
Speaker 1: Kingdom number three. The Bible contains prophecies.
9:29
Speaker 2: So every time.
9:30
Speaker 1: You study the Bible, you are exploring the promises of God,
9:37
Speaker 1: the principles of the Kingdom, and the prophetic words past, present,
9:42
Speaker 1: and future that guide our cause. The Bible, again, I repeat,
9:47
Speaker 1: contains promises God's commitments to us. The Bible contains principles,
9:54
Speaker 1: the models, operandi of the Kingdom. Then the Bible contains prophecies. Allelujah.
10:01
Speaker 1: So when you meditate, you're opening and exposing your spirit
10:05
Speaker 1: to the light of these three dimensions of the world,
10:09
Speaker 1: the promises of God, believing for them to be made
10:13
Speaker 1: manifest in your life, the principles of the Kingdom to
10:16
Speaker 1: culture you towards a life of victory or prophecy.
10:19
Speaker 2: Giving you hope and giving you direction. Are we together?
10:23
Speaker 2: Meditation is very powerful, The Bible says Prohabs eighteen and
10:27
Speaker 2: verse one.
10:27
Speaker 1: He says, through desire, a man haven't separated himself.
10:32
Speaker 2: It says, he's secret.
10:33
Speaker 1: And intermedled with all wisdom. Proverabs eighteen and verse one.
10:38
Speaker 1: Through desire, a man haven't separated himself. So desire draws
10:44
Speaker 1: you to separate yourself, and then you meditate upon the
10:49
Speaker 1: word of God.
10:51
Speaker 2: Now the end of meditation. Please look up.
10:55
Speaker 1: The end of meditation is that you understand the participatory
11:01
Speaker 1: role you have to play in actualizing the promised desire.
11:05
Speaker 2: Please listen again.
11:06
Speaker 1: The end of meditation is that you understand the participatory
11:11
Speaker 1: role that you have to play in actualizing your desire.
11:17
Speaker 1: A man of God said, every Christianity that makes the
11:20
Speaker 1: outcome of your life absolutely dependent on God is an
11:24
Speaker 1: irresponsible Christianity. There is always a participatory role that we
11:29
Speaker 1: have to play.
11:30
Speaker 2: The Spirit and the bride say come.
11:33
Speaker 1: That's always the formula. It's not the spirit alone that
11:36
Speaker 1: tells the word to come. It's not the bride alone.
11:39
Speaker 1: So when the spirit says be healed, there must be
11:41
Speaker 1: the bride that also echoes be healed for healing to come.
11:45
Speaker 1: When the Spirit says belifted, the bride must also agree.
11:49
Speaker 1: It is the spirit and the bride that tells the
11:51
Speaker 1: world to come.
11:54
Speaker 2: We have a.
11:54
Speaker 1: Narrative that, in an attempt to describe the sovereign power
11:59
Speaker 1: of God and that sense of exclusivity, we have a
12:03
Speaker 1: narrative in many Christian circles, sadly, that makes God absolutely
12:08
Speaker 1: responsible for the outcome of our lives. And so we
12:11
Speaker 1: remain victims of situations and circumstances consoled and justified by
12:18
Speaker 1: the narrative that if God wants to bless me, he
12:21
Speaker 1: will bless me. He has the power to do so.
12:24
Speaker 1: If God wants to lift me, he will lift me.
12:26
Speaker 1: So if I'm in my current situation, it must be
12:29
Speaker 1: that God wants me to be there. But the will
12:32
Speaker 1: of God is not in the dark. A way Together Collosion,
12:35
Speaker 1: Chapter one and verse nine. Paul was mentoring the church
12:38
Speaker 1: in colosse and he began to describe to them his
12:42
Speaker 1: prayers for them, that they step into certain dimensions of knowledge.
12:46
Speaker 1: The first of it is that they be filled with
12:49
Speaker 1: the knowledge of His will. Paul wants the church, he
12:53
Speaker 1: wants believer us to be filled with the knowledge of
12:56
Speaker 1: his will. Number two, he wants believer us to be
12:59
Speaker 1: filled with all wisdom, all of the dimensions of wisdom,
13:02
Speaker 1: because wisdom is dimensional, and he once believe us to
13:06
Speaker 1: be filled with all wisdom. And then number three with
13:09
Speaker 1: spiritual understanding. Allelujah, are we together this morning? Yes, the
13:17
Speaker 1: will of God is not a mystery. The Bible lets
13:20
Speaker 1: us know that the Spirit of God is able to
13:22
Speaker 1: search and reveal to the saints the will of the Father.
13:28
Speaker 2: So meditation is very powerful.
13:30
Speaker 1: For instance, if you are trusting God to work in
13:34
Speaker 1: the reality of the blessing, you are trusting God to
13:37
Speaker 1: explore and understand the economic system of the kingdom.
13:41
Speaker 2: Then you begin to contemplate.
13:43
Speaker 1: As you meditate, the Holy Spirit now begins to lead
13:46
Speaker 1: you to scriptures.
13:47
Speaker 2: That guide you.
13:48
Speaker 1: Isaiah fifty one, look on to your father Abraham, and
13:52
Speaker 1: on to Sarah, your mother. I called him alone, and
13:55
Speaker 1: I blessed him. That means in God's mind, Abraham personifives
14:00
Speaker 1: his idea of the blessing. So if you want to
14:05
Speaker 1: rise the recommended personality, because the Bible says to follow
14:09
Speaker 1: them through faith.
14:10
Speaker 2: And patients have obtained the promise.
14:12
Speaker 1: So you understudy Abraham right from Genesis chapter twelve, when
14:17
Speaker 1: he was called as an idol worshiper.
14:19
Speaker 2: From all of the Childians.
14:21
Speaker 1: The Bible says he called him and he began a
14:24
Speaker 1: journey with God that culminated to him being the father
14:27
Speaker 1: of nations.
14:28
Speaker 2: He was blessed with all sorts of things.
14:30
Speaker 1: So that means that if you studied the life of Abraham,
14:33
Speaker 1: you will find pieces of spiritual mysteries that together culminate
14:40
Speaker 1: into the life of blessing. You will find principles one
14:44
Speaker 1: scripture leading to another.
14:46
Speaker 2: You will come to a point where the Bible.
14:48
Speaker 1: Teaches that there is he that scattered and yet increase,
14:52
Speaker 1: that there is here that withhold the modelist meat tends
14:55
Speaker 1: to poverty.
14:55
Speaker 2: The Bible says it, diligent hand shall be made fat.
14:58
Speaker 2: Are we together?
14:59
Speaker 1: Now he talks about a man who will not sow
15:01
Speaker 1: because of the weather condition, and that he will beg
15:04
Speaker 1: in harvest. You begin to read scriptures like God is
15:08
Speaker 1: able to make all grace a bound towards you, so
15:11
Speaker 1: that he having all sufficiency, that.
15:13
Speaker 2: You will abound in all good things.
15:17
Speaker 1: Now you put these things together, and you now understand
15:20
Speaker 1: your participatory role. That number one, it is God's desire
15:25
Speaker 1: for me to work in the blessing. Number two, that
15:28
Speaker 1: God delights in my prosperity. Let them shout for joy
15:31
Speaker 1: that in favor my righteous cause. The Bible says, Yeah,
15:35
Speaker 1: let the Lord be magnified, who have pleasure in the
15:38
Speaker 1: prosperity of his servants. That's what meditation does. It's not
15:44
Speaker 1: just a blind contemplation. You are reasoning out with God.
15:47
Speaker 1: The Bible says, to come, let us reason together. This
15:50
Speaker 1: is what happens in the place of meditation. And I
15:53
Speaker 1: repeat that the end of any meditation is knowing the
15:58
Speaker 1: participatory role that you have to play.
16:01
Speaker 2: If in the end of.
16:02
Speaker 1: Your meditation all you know is what God should do
16:05
Speaker 1: and you do not know the role you have to play,
16:07
Speaker 1: something is wrong with that meditation. It is inaccurate, and
16:11
Speaker 1: it is incomplete. If you're with me, please say amen.
16:15
Speaker 1: Meditation is powerful. It's interesting to note that almost all
16:22
Speaker 1: religions of the world place profound value on the power
16:26
Speaker 1: of meditation. All religions, whether it's Buddhism, whether it's whatever
16:32
Speaker 1: kind of religion, they place premium on meditation. They understand
16:37
Speaker 1: that there is something about shutting away from the noise.
16:42
Speaker 1: From an intellectual standpoint, meditation is profitable.
16:46
Speaker 2: All wise were.
16:48
Speaker 1: Together, all leaders, all visionary leaders, as a rule, understand
16:54
Speaker 1: the power of meditation, and that when you shut away
16:57
Speaker 1: from all the distractions that life and bring, and you
17:01
Speaker 1: are in a position of silence, you contemplate intelligently, and
17:05
Speaker 1: the spirit of God is able to breathe upon your mind.
17:10
Speaker 2: Meditation is powerful.
17:13
Speaker 1: When I began to work with the Lord, not even ministry,
17:17
Speaker 1: I didn't place so much emphasis on the power of
17:20
Speaker 1: the mind, the excellency of the mind, and the role
17:23
Speaker 1: that the mind has to play as far as the
17:26
Speaker 1: excelling of the believer is concerned, because my context did
17:31
Speaker 1: not place an emphasis on that until I began to
17:35
Speaker 1: read books and explore materials by people across the body
17:37
Speaker 1: of Christ. And then I learned that the Holy Spirit,
17:41
Speaker 1: as mighty as the spirit of the Living God is,
17:45
Speaker 1: the inability to have a transformed mind can limit his
17:48
Speaker 1: potential in the life of a believer, and it made
17:51
Speaker 1: me to pay rapt attention to the mind. The mind
17:57
Speaker 1: is the only authorized gateway that allows good demons and
18:00
Speaker 1: the Holy spirity to find expression in a believer's life.
18:03
Speaker 1: And so if your mind is unhealthy, there is a
18:07
Speaker 1: problem there. In fact, Philippis, chapter two and verse five says,
18:10
Speaker 1: to permit this mind to be in you, which was
18:13
Speaker 1: also in Christ Jesus.
18:15
Speaker 2: Jesus did not just excel because it was the son
18:17
Speaker 2: of the Living God.
18:18
Speaker 1: There was a belief system that made the Holy Spirit
18:22
Speaker 1: comfortable living and working in him.
18:25
Speaker 2: Are we together prays the.
18:27
Speaker 1: Name of the Lord. So meditation is very powerful. Unfortunately,
18:30
Speaker 1: we live in a world that is full of.
18:32
Speaker 2: Distractions from social media.
18:37
Speaker 1: To all forms of sociological distractions, and it's no longer
18:43
Speaker 1: fashionable to shot.
18:45
Speaker 2: Yourself and stay.
18:46
Speaker 1: But this still remains the irrefecutable secret of great achievers.
18:53
Speaker 1: They must learn to shut away from all the things
18:56
Speaker 1: that bring noise and stay with God.
19:00
Speaker 2: Detention is powerful. In fact, y's how the Bible puts it.
19:03
Speaker 3: I will be still and know you are God. I
19:10
Speaker 3: will be still and know you, Oh God.
19:17
Speaker 2: When the oceans row and thunders.
19:22
Speaker 4: I will star with you above the storms.
19:28
Speaker 2: Father, you wanting over the floor.
19:33
Speaker 3: So I will be still and know you are God.
19:41
Speaker 3: I will be still and know you.
19:46
Speaker 1: Sometimes our environments are too noisy to hear God. Sometimes
19:50
Speaker 1: our environments are too distracted to understand the cause.
19:55
Speaker 2: For our lives.
19:56
Speaker 1: There is power in shutting down and just in a way,
20:00
Speaker 1: the Bible says.
20:01
Speaker 2: Be still and you will know.
20:04
Speaker 1: There is a kind of knowledge that only comes when
20:06
Speaker 1: you are still.
20:07
Speaker 2: Not just be still and you will hear.
20:10
Speaker 1: Be still and you will know. Meditation number two. Very
20:15
Speaker 1: quickly we're piecing together the faith equation. Now number two prayer. Now,
20:21
Speaker 1: I did observe yesterday that this when it has to
20:24
Speaker 1: do with the subject of warfare, deliverance. It has to
20:29
Speaker 1: do with wording all the forces of darkness, and then
20:33
Speaker 1: issues of power and grace. We place emphasis and premium
20:38
Speaker 1: on prayer. But then when it comes where we read yesterday,
20:56
Speaker 1: we start from twenty two and down to twenty four
20:58
Speaker 1: or twenty four is the verse of emphasis.
21:00
Speaker 2: The Bible says, how did Jesus put it?
21:04
Speaker 1: Now?
21:04
Speaker 2: He said, verily, veryly, please give it to us.
21:09
Speaker 1: Mark Chapter eleven will start from verse twenty two down
21:13
Speaker 1: to twenty four.
21:14
Speaker 2: Jesus answering them, said, have faith in God, the faith
21:17
Speaker 2: of God. Next verse verily, I.
21:21
Speaker 1: Say unto you, whosoever shall say to dismounting be removed
21:25
Speaker 1: from hence, be cast into the sea, and shall not
21:28
Speaker 1: doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things
21:31
Speaker 1: which he said shall come to pass. The Bible declares
21:34
Speaker 1: that he shall have whatsoever he said.
21:37
Speaker 2: The rule is in verse twenty four.
21:39
Speaker 1: Therefore, I say unto you, what things soever ye desire?
21:45
Speaker 2: When? Not if? When, when you pray, believe that thou receivest.
21:52
Speaker 1: Them and ye shall have them.
21:56
Speaker 2: Why do you need to pray? There are many reasons
21:58
Speaker 2: why we pray, but prayer is the.
22:00
Speaker 1: Only authorized platform that gives us an opportunity to make
22:05
Speaker 1: petitions and to make requests before the Lord. The Bible says,
22:09
Speaker 1: be anxious for nothing. He says, but in everything, by
22:13
Speaker 1: prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, make your request no. Don't
22:19
Speaker 1: assume God knows it. Make your request no. Allelujah.
22:24
Speaker 2: And so prayer is a very vital part.
22:27
Speaker 1: Of the faith equation. Lord, I desire you to arise.
22:31
Speaker 1: I desire you to move in this area. Jesus was
22:34
Speaker 1: teaching us how to pray, and in his lecture on prayer,
22:39
Speaker 1: he says, when you pray, pray with us our Father,
22:42
Speaker 1: what in heaven, hallowed be your name, Thy Kingdom come?
22:46
Speaker 2: He said, that will be done.
22:48
Speaker 1: And then he says, give us this day. This is request,
22:52
Speaker 1: now our daily prayer. Give us today you mentioned the day,
22:59
Speaker 1: and you may what you desire today our daily bread.
23:04
Speaker 2: Prays the name of the Lord. Prayer is very powerful.
23:09
Speaker 1: Prayer also plays a role in building our faith. The
23:12
Speaker 1: Bible says, building our faith, our most holy faith, even
23:18
Speaker 1: as we pray in the Holy Ghost.
23:21
Speaker 2: So prayer is one of the faith equations.
23:24
Speaker 1: Number three confession, the power of confession.
23:29
Speaker 2: It comes from the.
23:31
Speaker 1: Hebrew word homologio that means repeat as you have heard.
23:36
Speaker 1: It comes from the word echo, repeat as you have heard.
23:40
Speaker 2: Are we together? Now?
23:42
Speaker 1: To confess means to declare, to verbalize in agreement that
23:47
Speaker 1: which God has said. Again, it means to verbialize in
23:53
Speaker 1: agreement what God has said.
23:56
Speaker 2: It's not just to merely talk.
23:58
Speaker 1: That means if you are speaking and what you are
24:00
Speaker 1: saying is not what God said, you are.
24:03
Speaker 2: Just talking, but you are not confessing.
24:06
Speaker 1: Confession has to be in agreement with what God has said.
24:10
Speaker 1: If you are complaining, you are babalizing something that's not confession.
24:14
Speaker 1: If you're arguing, the Bible says, do everything without complaining,
24:18
Speaker 1: no argument. All of them requires speech, They require utterance,
24:23
Speaker 1: They require us speaking.
24:25
Speaker 2: But the difference is that confession.
24:27
Speaker 1: The best description of confession is what happened to Ezekiel
24:31
Speaker 1: in chapter thirty seven, Son of Man, Can these bones leave?
24:35
Speaker 1: He said, only down know ust, And then he says, prophesy,
24:39
Speaker 1: declare as you have heard. And he says, I prophesied
24:42
Speaker 1: as I was commanded, not as I desired, as I
24:46
Speaker 1: was commanded.
24:48
Speaker 2: I propheside as I was commanded. I prophesie as I
24:53
Speaker 2: was commanded.
24:54
Speaker 1: So the Bible says, let the redeemed of the Lord
24:56
Speaker 1: say so, not just think so. Let the blessed of
24:59
Speaker 1: the Lord say so. Let the healed of the Lord
25:03
Speaker 1: say so. Let the lift head of the Lord say so.
25:06
Speaker 1: Let the prosperus of the Lord say so. Let the
25:09
Speaker 1: annoying of the Lord say so. Let the victorious of
25:13
Speaker 1: the Lord say so. Let the favor of the Lord
25:17
Speaker 1: say so. Confession some one oh seven and verse two,
25:28
Speaker 1: Please give it to us some one oh seven and
25:32
Speaker 1: verse two. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.
25:39
Speaker 1: Whom the Lord had redeemed already from the hand of
25:43
Speaker 1: the enemy. They have been redeemed already, but they have
25:47
Speaker 1: to say so to work in the reality of that redemption.
25:51
Speaker 2: So I declare, in the name of Jesus Christ, I
25:54
Speaker 2: am the head and not the tale. I am confessing.
25:57
Speaker 1: Why because he said so in the name of Jesus,
26:00
Speaker 1: Gentiles come to my light, their kings, to the brightness
26:04
Speaker 1: of my rising. For my shame, I received double where
26:07
Speaker 1: I've been deserted, so that no man walks through me.
26:10
Speaker 1: I become an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
26:15
Speaker 1: I arise and I shine, for my light is come,
26:18
Speaker 1: and the glory of the Lord has risen upon me.
26:20
Speaker 1: These are not mere words. I am giving life to
26:23
Speaker 1: that which was finished in Christ. I am activating it.
26:26
Speaker 1: You see, brothers and sisters, please look up. This kingdom
26:29
Speaker 1: was designed to be voice activated.
26:32
Speaker 2: This is powerful.
26:33
Speaker 1: Genesis one, Verse one, the Bible says, in the beginning,
26:38
Speaker 1: God created the heavens and the earth. Verse two says,
26:42
Speaker 1: now the earth was dark, it was void, it was formless,
26:46
Speaker 1: and the Spirit of God over around the face of
26:49
Speaker 1: the waters. You would think, just because of the presence
26:52
Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit, creation should happen. Nothing happened until
26:56
Speaker 1: we get to verse three. And Ello Him said light
27:03
Speaker 1: light b Elo Him said light b And the Bible says,
27:09
Speaker 1: and there was light everything he said. He saw everything
27:14
Speaker 1: he said he saw when he created Adam in his
27:18
Speaker 1: image and his likeness. The Bible says, and whatsoever things
27:21
Speaker 1: Adam called them, that was the name thereof. That means
27:26
Speaker 1: it is unto you the way you call it. If
27:28
Speaker 1: you call it trouble, it must obey what you have said.
27:31
Speaker 1: If you call it disappointment, it must be for you
27:35
Speaker 1: as you have said. Is it not in your Bible
27:38
Speaker 1: that when men say there is a casting down, it tells.
27:41
Speaker 2: You immediately that you are not a norther narry person.
27:45
Speaker 1: When men said there is a casting down your report,
27:48
Speaker 1: let me tell you this. A lie is not an
27:50
Speaker 1: incorrect statement alone. A lie is anything God did not say.
27:57
Speaker 1: The standard definition of a lie is any thing God
28:00
Speaker 1: did not say, not just a statement that is incorrect.
28:04
Speaker 1: Because the subject of truth has to be based on
28:06
Speaker 1: a reference.
28:09
Speaker 2: Those who are lawyers and.
28:11
Speaker 1: Those who are of the judicial system.
28:13
Speaker 2: Would tell you.
28:14
Speaker 1: Cannot obitterarily say something is true or is not true.
28:18
Speaker 2: There has to be a reference. Is that true?
28:21
Speaker 1: Jesus said, I am the way I am the truth.
28:24
Speaker 1: That means reference.
28:26
Speaker 2: Every other thing based on me, the word of God,
28:29
Speaker 2: the logos of God.
28:31
Speaker 1: So whatever God did not say, oh, let God be true,
28:34
Speaker 1: the Bible says, And every other man he didn't say,
28:38
Speaker 1: and every other man evil, every other man a liar.
28:44
Speaker 1: So circumstances. Paul was speaking, and he said, there is
28:48
Speaker 1: as it where many voices in the earth, and none
28:52
Speaker 1: of them is without significance. Your circumstances have a voice,
28:57
Speaker 1: Your limitations have a voice, Your yes yesterday has a voice.
29:01
Speaker 2: I went together now, and.
29:02
Speaker 1: All these voices continue to speak and make noise. You're
29:06
Speaker 1: going to have to choose you do stay, not just
29:09
Speaker 1: who you would serve, but what voice you would hear.
29:11
Speaker 1: The first thing that led to the fall of man
29:14
Speaker 1: was exposing himself to a voice.
29:16
Speaker 2: That God did not recommend. The Bible says in Genesis three.
29:19
Speaker 1: When you begin to read from verse eight, he says,
29:22
Speaker 1: and God came, They had the voice of God walking
29:25
Speaker 1: in the cool of the day. The original Hebrew rendition
29:28
Speaker 1: is they had the talking spirit walking in the cool
29:31
Speaker 1: of the day, and he says, Adam, where are thou?
29:35
Speaker 1: And Adam said, I heard your voice, but I hear
29:38
Speaker 1: because I was naked. The next question, who told you
29:42
Speaker 1: you have exposed yourself to an influence?
29:46
Speaker 2: That is a lie.
29:50
Speaker 1: Listen, we live in times where you must be very
29:53
Speaker 1: intentional about the voice that frames your understanding.
29:58
Speaker 2: Please hear me, let me repeat myself.
30:01
Speaker 1: It is important if you desire to work in victory.
30:05
Speaker 1: You desire to see the reality of the victory that
30:09
Speaker 1: is in the Christ manifest in your life, your ministry,
30:12
Speaker 1: your finances, every aspect of your life.
30:15
Speaker 2: You must be very.
30:16
Speaker 1: Intentional as to what voice you expose yourself to. Because
30:24
Speaker 1: the voice you expose yourself to you have given authorization.
30:28
Speaker 2: To to shape your belief system.
30:30
Speaker 1: And the Bible says, as you thinks in his heart,
30:32
Speaker 1: it's a change for mind. It didn't say so you
30:35
Speaker 1: will become so insed already. I can predict your future
30:42
Speaker 1: by the influence you have submitted yourself to.
30:46
Speaker 2: I don't have to be a prophet.
30:48
Speaker 1: I just need to see what is building your mind,
30:51
Speaker 1: what is building your understanding, And I can guarantee with digital.
30:57
Speaker 2: Precision that this is the kind of future you will for.
31:00
Speaker 1: My Bible says he that works with the wise, he
31:03
Speaker 1: does not have to be wise.
31:04
Speaker 2: Just walk with the wise.
31:06
Speaker 1: It says he that works with the wise will be
31:08
Speaker 1: wise himself. But a companion of fools, no matter how
31:11
Speaker 1: well meaning, shall be destroyed. Is God blessing us This
31:16
Speaker 1: morning we're dealing with confession.
31:19
Speaker 2: The power of confession to more scriptures.
31:21
Speaker 1: Isaiah forty three and verse twenty six Isaiah forty three,
31:26
Speaker 1: please give it to ards, help us media and verse
31:28
Speaker 1: twenty six. Read with me. If you can see projected.
31:31
Speaker 1: I pray you are able to see it. If you are,
31:33
Speaker 1: then let's read together. Ready read put me in remembrance,
31:38
Speaker 1: It says, let us plead together then it says, be
31:42
Speaker 1: cleared now that thou might test be justified.
31:47
Speaker 2: Don't hope you will be justified.
31:53
Speaker 1: Declare down, What have I told you that it's responsible?
31:58
Speaker 1: On what basis should I you? On what basis should
32:02
Speaker 1: I honor you? On what basis should your church grow? Oh,
32:05
Speaker 1: I'm a well meaning believer. That's a lie, because that's
32:09
Speaker 1: not the basis for growth. Everything you have is routed
32:12
Speaker 1: through the office of the Christ. When you're dislodging from
32:15
Speaker 1: the equation, you have no basis for receiving anything. You
32:21
Speaker 1: must plead your case, declare that. In Isaiah chapter thirty eight,
32:27
Speaker 1: don't turn You're just right. Prophet Isaiah comes to Hezekiah
32:31
Speaker 1: and says, yes, I bring you a word from the Lord.
32:33
Speaker 1: Set your house in order you will not recover from
32:36
Speaker 1: this sickness. There's a guy said, I respect you, I
32:38
Speaker 1: respect your office. You have a nice day. The Bible
32:42
Speaker 1: says he turned his face to the wall and pleaded
32:44
Speaker 1: his case. There is a judicial system in this universe,
32:48
Speaker 1: and you must understand the art of spiritual legislation. You
32:51
Speaker 1: must know how to stand and plead your case. In
32:55
Speaker 1: destiny or the wise, you will fail. You will keep
32:58
Speaker 1: complaining while you fail. Believe me, there are many believers
33:04
Speaker 1: who allow things to just happen.
33:06
Speaker 2: No, there is a judicial.
33:08
Speaker 1: System on what business should I extend your life? And
33:12
Speaker 1: herezekiahs a, remember there is a book in heaven called
33:16
Speaker 1: the book of remembrance? Lord, is this how you reward
33:19
Speaker 1: those who diligently work with you? Did you not say
33:22
Speaker 1: have the power to choose life? Where is sitting in
33:25
Speaker 1: the archives of heaven that.
33:26
Speaker 2: I chose death? And God said, this man is putting pressure.
33:30
Speaker 1: On my integrity, I sire, go back, forget about your ego.
33:34
Speaker 1: Walk back.
33:36
Speaker 2: Even though I am.
33:37
Speaker 1: The Lord that says you not, I respect and exhort
33:40
Speaker 1: myself above my word.
33:43
Speaker 2: Can I tell you this? The highest dimension of prophecy
33:48
Speaker 2: is the prophecy of scripture.
33:51
Speaker 1: That no matter what is said or not said, you
33:54
Speaker 1: can't take the prophecy of scripture and stand with spiritual
33:59
Speaker 1: understand and then please hear me.
34:01
Speaker 2: You will never get anything.
34:03
Speaker 1: By default in this life, aside from that which comes
34:06
Speaker 1: based on the law of time and chance. If you
34:08
Speaker 1: must be impensional about producing results, you must know how
34:12
Speaker 1: to bleed your case. Oh God, what would you give me?
34:18
Speaker 1: Seeing that I go childless. All right, here is someone
34:21
Speaker 1: from my house.
34:22
Speaker 2: At least let me have a seed. And he said, no, Abraham,
34:26
Speaker 2: you will have your own child.
34:28
Speaker 1: Abraham believed God, and the Bible says it was credited
34:30
Speaker 1: onto him for righteousness.
34:33
Speaker 2: So we like faithful Abraham, we believe God. We believe God.
34:39
Speaker 1: Someone shout, I believe God. One more time shouted, I
34:43
Speaker 1: believe God. So when you go to God, you don't
34:47
Speaker 1: pray some of these sympathetic but destructive prayers.
34:51
Speaker 2: Lord, is this how you're going to allow my life?
34:53
Speaker 1: You mean you are in heaven, you have the eyes
34:56
Speaker 1: that see, and you're watching me like this. It looks
34:59
Speaker 1: that's just. Of course God is merciful and his loving. Well,
35:03
Speaker 1: let me tell you sincerely, it is the parliament of heaven.
35:06
Speaker 2: You must know how to stand.
35:09
Speaker 1: Certain on what basis are you attacking my family? The
35:12
Speaker 1: Bible declares that I will serve the Lord and you
35:15
Speaker 1: will bless me. I am a faithful worker in this ministry,
35:20
Speaker 1: and Lord, I I lived my service like my bade
35:24
Speaker 1: my authorization for safety and the blessing.
35:27
Speaker 2: This is how to plead your cause allelujah, in one.
35:36
Speaker 1: Minute while you are sated, and like you to open
35:38
Speaker 1: your mouth and begin to declare everything you know the
35:41
Speaker 1: Word of God has said over you. Don't say this
35:44
Speaker 1: is some childish thing. Many people have ignored dis principal
35:48
Speaker 1: to the detriment of their life, their success, and their destiny.
35:51
Speaker 2: Fifty your voice, and please pray.
36:00
Speaker 1: Version resent your case before the God of the Bible,
36:07
Speaker 1: very quickly, in the name of Jesus Christ.
36:10
Speaker 2: Amen and Amen. Now the fourth.
36:14
Speaker 1: The fourth step is your action of obedience, not just
36:20
Speaker 1: may action, your.
36:22
Speaker 2: Action of obedience.
36:24
Speaker 1: This is the senith of your manifested faith, your action
36:29
Speaker 1: of obedience. All of those support systems viuew your conviction
36:34
Speaker 1: to the point where you are ready to act your
36:37
Speaker 1: action of obedience. Deuteronomy, chapter twenty eight and verse one.
36:42
Speaker 1: Let me quote it quickly for timesake, the Bible says,
36:44
Speaker 1: and it shall come to pass. It now shall diligently
36:48
Speaker 1: happen to the voice of the Lord that God. To
36:51
Speaker 1: observe and to do, to observe, and to do, to observe,
36:54
Speaker 1: and to do, not just to see and to be aware,
36:57
Speaker 1: to observe and to do all that I command you
37:01
Speaker 1: this day, ahah that the Lord that God will set
37:04
Speaker 1: tee on high above all the nations of the earth.
37:08
Speaker 1: Verse two says, and all these blessings shall come upon
37:13
Speaker 1: thee and overtake you the condition if that will happen
37:17
Speaker 1: to the voice of the Lord.
37:18
Speaker 2: To observe and to do.
37:23
Speaker 1: Faith is not just what's saying what God has said.
37:26
Speaker 1: Faith is doing what God has said away together. Faith
37:31
Speaker 1: is doing what God has said. Joshua, Chapter one and
37:35
Speaker 1: verse eight Popular Scripture. Joshua was a timid young man
37:39
Speaker 1: who was now receiving such responsibility.
37:42
Speaker 2: He was afraid.
37:44
Speaker 1: God had to encourage him to say, look, Moses, my
37:46
Speaker 1: servant is dead. Now the mantle is upon you. You're
37:49
Speaker 1: going to leave these people onward. And he was so afraid.
37:53
Speaker 1: He knew the way stiff next people. He knew that
37:55
Speaker 1: the cities that before them, that were before them.
37:58
Speaker 2: Were very terrible and gret cities.
38:01
Speaker 1: And God gave him a formula that is applicable onto us,
38:04
Speaker 1: the Book of the Lord. This Book of the Lord
38:06
Speaker 1: shall not depart from out of your mouth, But thou
38:11
Speaker 1: shalt meditate therein day and night to the end that
38:15
Speaker 1: thou mayors.
38:16
Speaker 2: Observed to do.
38:17
Speaker 1: Again, we see that repeated, observed to do all that
38:22
Speaker 1: is written therein.
38:23
Speaker 2: For when you do, you.
38:25
Speaker 1: Will make your waist prosperous, and you will have good success.
38:31
Speaker 2: John thirteen and verse seventeen.
38:32
Speaker 1: Jesus said something very instructive while building and mentoring the
38:37
Speaker 1: disciples who would later become the apostles of the lamp
38:41
Speaker 1: is projected, Please, let's read together, ready, want to read?
38:45
Speaker 2: If ye know these things? Happy?
38:47
Speaker 1: I ye? If you do them. It's not enough to know.
38:52
Speaker 1: You must obtain grace to do.
38:56
Speaker 2: Grace to do.
38:58
Speaker 1: The Bible says, having the readiness to judge all disobedience
39:03
Speaker 1: only when your obedience is complete.
39:07
Speaker 2: Prass the name of the Lord. You must do, you
39:12
Speaker 2: must do.
39:13
Speaker 1: There are conditions behind every promise that we desire to
39:17
Speaker 1: walk into.
39:18
Speaker 2: You must find out what the condition is.
39:21
Speaker 1: Obtain grace from God in prayer, and do and do
39:26
Speaker 1: and do Allelujah. Two more and then we're done for
39:33
Speaker 1: this morning. Number five, am I right?
39:38
Speaker 2: The fifth key.
39:42
Speaker 1: To the faith equation is found in Philippians, chapter four
39:45
Speaker 1: and verse six is called Thanksgiving.
39:49
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving.
39:51
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving is a deep and profound mystery.
39:55
Speaker 2: Be anxious this.
39:57
Speaker 1: Version says, careful, it's not an accurate reading. The real
40:03
Speaker 1: word there is to be anxious for nothing. It says,
40:08
Speaker 1: but in everything by prayer and then supplication with thanksgiving,
40:20
Speaker 1: let your request be made known onto God. We thanksgiving Father,
40:26
Speaker 1: thank you. Why do you thank him because you believe,
40:30
Speaker 1: you believe that he has done it. The Bible declares
40:34
Speaker 1: that when we pray, this is the confidence that we
40:37
Speaker 1: have that when we pray, he hears us. God is
40:40
Speaker 1: not an idol. When we pray, he hears us. So
40:45
Speaker 1: we thank him. Thank you Jesus, because I know this
40:49
Speaker 1: project is done. Thank you Jesus, because I received by
40:53
Speaker 1: faith this new level of grace, this new level of function.
40:56
Speaker 1: Thank you Jesus, because I'm working in this favor.
41:03
Speaker 2: Are we together praise the name of the Lord.
41:06
Speaker 1: Can you, in one minute while to your city, just
41:08
Speaker 1: say thank you Jesus, not just for the things past,
41:12
Speaker 1: not just for the things past, but the things that
41:14
Speaker 1: he's bringing.
41:16
Speaker 2: Thank you Jesus. If someone saying thank you, don't just
41:20
Speaker 2: thank you for what you have seen. Thank you Jesus,
41:26
Speaker 2: because the.
41:27
Speaker 1: Months that follow are months of favor and grace.
41:33
Speaker 2: With thanksgiving him saying thank.
41:41
Speaker 1: You, you get the glory, you get the praise.
41:50
Speaker 2: You'll take me. Hord.
41:54
Speaker 3: I just want to say thank you.
41:57
Speaker 1: You get the Lord to gain, praise.
42:04
Speaker 2: You, thank you.
42:08
Speaker 3: I far say thank you showing my life.
42:15
Speaker 1: My line be glory fine.
42:22
Speaker 2: Big glory, f sharlah baa.
42:29
Speaker 1: Mine line.
42:33
Speaker 2: Biggling fins, digle fun.
42:41
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this, Thanksgiving is truly powerful. Replace
42:48
Speaker 1: a life of complaining and grumbling with thanksgiving.
42:52
Speaker 2: Lord.
42:53
Speaker 1: I may not see the things you are doing, but
42:55
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, because this is the day the
42:58
Speaker 1: Lord has made. I don't need to understand the day.
43:01
Speaker 1: I just need to find out who made it. If
43:04
Speaker 1: I know who made the day, I can't tell whether
43:06
Speaker 1: my interest was represented in that day or not. The Lord,
43:11
Speaker 1: the one who so jealously loves me, made the day.
43:15
Speaker 1: So I trust that my interest was represented in this day.
43:18
Speaker 1: And I walk through the day with thanksgiving an expectation.
43:22
Speaker 1: So I'm not surprised when I'm favored. The Lord made
43:25
Speaker 1: the day. I'm not surprised when I'm lifted. The Lord
43:28
Speaker 1: made the day. I'm not surprised when doors opened for me.
43:32
Speaker 1: The Lord made the day. You work with that expectation
43:39
Speaker 1: and continue to program very supernatural results in your life.
43:44
Speaker 2: Finally, the last key to the.
43:47
Speaker 1: Faith equation is called patience. Hebrews chapter six and verse twelve. Interestingly,
43:54
Speaker 1: every time you read the Bible, especially the Ministry of Jesus,
43:57
Speaker 1: there are times when you will see that certain miracles
44:00
Speaker 1: happen immediately. The Bible says, immediately these happened, Immediately, these happened.
44:07
Speaker 1: But there are times that the Bible would tell us,
44:09
Speaker 1: like it happened in Mark eleven, that when he costs
44:12
Speaker 1: the victory, he did everything right, Yet nothing happened at
44:16
Speaker 1: that instance. Yet he didn't stand there wondering and say, Father,
44:20
Speaker 1: why embarrass me this much?
44:22
Speaker 2: No, he left. He returned the next day and the
44:25
Speaker 2: three had withered.
44:27
Speaker 1: So it is not unusual for time and process to
44:30
Speaker 1: be part of our equation of faith, the Bible says,
44:35
Speaker 1: and be not slotful. But followers of them who through
44:41
Speaker 1: faith and patience have obtained the promise or inherit the promise.
44:50
Speaker 1: There are times it will require patience. No matter how
44:56
Speaker 1: healthy a woman is, no matter how.
44:59
Speaker 2: Medical and physically sound she.
45:01
Speaker 1: Is, she's not going to take in in one day,
45:05
Speaker 1: and the child suddenly grows in one day and within
45:08
Speaker 1: twenty four hours.
45:09
Speaker 2: Now God can do. All things are way together now.
45:13
Speaker 1: But even the prophets, when they come speaking by God,
45:15
Speaker 1: they say according to the time of life. There are
45:20
Speaker 1: things that happen according to the time of life. If
45:24
Speaker 1: you give back to a child, and as soon as
45:26
Speaker 1: the child is out in five minutes, he says, Mommy,
45:28
Speaker 1: how are you good?
45:29
Speaker 2: To see you? Daddy? How is everything? Where can I eat? Please?
45:32
Speaker 2: I'm really hungry.
45:33
Speaker 1: You don't know what it means to be now you
45:35
Speaker 1: are going to run away from your own blessing.
45:42
Speaker 2: There are times that God allows.
45:44
Speaker 1: The sequence of process to follow certain manifestations, and that
45:48
Speaker 1: happens for various reasons.
45:50
Speaker 2: Number one, because.
45:54
Speaker 1: Human beings usually misuse anything they are not you and
46:00
Speaker 1: educated to maintain you have to understand why many times
46:04
Speaker 1: God allows process. Someone who has never made a millionaire,
46:09
Speaker 1: never made five hundred thousand, never had any significant level
46:14
Speaker 1: of the anointing. No matter what kind of importation you receive,
46:17
Speaker 1: there are certain levels God will limit by himself for
46:21
Speaker 1: your own benefit. There are certain levels of anointing that
46:24
Speaker 1: will never come on you.
46:26
Speaker 2: Just like that. You can't stand the attacks that follow
46:28
Speaker 2: that anointing.
46:29
Speaker 1: So as an act of his messy, he will gradually
46:33
Speaker 1: peeled you into that grace so that you will sustain
46:36
Speaker 1: the stamina to both maintain it there are annointings that
46:39
Speaker 1: when you carry it will change you. Literally, it would
46:43
Speaker 1: change you physically, change your appetites, change everything about you.
46:48
Speaker 1: And that level of sudden change you are not even
46:50
Speaker 1: ready for it. Praise the Lord. So not every manifestation
46:59
Speaker 1: of process is demonic.
47:02
Speaker 2: God is a god of speed, but he does not
47:04
Speaker 2: rush people. We need patience.
47:08
Speaker 1: A young man who is not used to managing resources,
47:11
Speaker 1: managing people will not overnight become.
47:15
Speaker 2: A leader over. The Bible says he gave the parable
47:18
Speaker 2: of the talents.
47:19
Speaker 1: He gave one five talents, two talents, one talent the
47:22
Speaker 1: same Lord. He says he gave them according to their
47:25
Speaker 1: several abilities. That means he had watched them for a while.
47:29
Speaker 1: He watched their police systems, he watched their level of growth,
47:32
Speaker 1: and that informed how he gave them those talents.
47:35
Speaker 2: At the end of that story, we see that he
47:37
Speaker 2: was right.
47:40
Speaker 1: The one with the five talents had his own challenge
47:42
Speaker 1: to face. His challenge would be pride and complacency. After all,
47:47
Speaker 1: I have the highest.
47:47
Speaker 2: Of the talents.
47:48
Speaker 1: Yet he was diligent and he engaged those talents.
47:53
Speaker 2: It took an extra level of focus.
47:55
Speaker 1: The one with two talents had his own challenges to
47:58
Speaker 1: fight jealousy and envy because there was someone above him
48:02
Speaker 1: the ability to upstayed focus and to produce the one
48:06
Speaker 1: with the one talent.
48:07
Speaker 2: You see why he caught only one. It tells you
48:09
Speaker 2: it was even.
48:10
Speaker 1: Just Messy that gave him that one, because at the
48:13
Speaker 1: end of the story you see that the giver was right.
48:16
Speaker 1: He was already a bitter person. He was already a
48:18
Speaker 1: failure from beginning. He said, I know you.
48:21
Speaker 2: You are a hard man.
48:23
Speaker 1: You like ripeating where you did not, so, so.
48:27
Speaker 2: I thought, instead of wasting your time, let be buried.
48:29
Speaker 2: You bury seeds, not talents.
48:33
Speaker 1: You multiply talents, and you saw seeds. He took a
48:38
Speaker 1: talent and he was doing what seeds you do.
48:43
Speaker 2: Are we blessed? You need patience. Let me tell you this.
48:49
Speaker 1: I submit to us that impatience can cheat. Every time
48:55
Speaker 1: you are not patient, you will give back to the
48:57
Speaker 1: Ishmael that you fight. You listen to this, Oh Abraham
49:03
Speaker 1: and Sarah. Every time you'll become impatient, prepare Ishmael is
49:08
Speaker 1: coming that will cause you trouble for the.
49:10
Speaker 2: Rest of your life.
49:16
Speaker 1: You must be patient so that you will not give
49:18
Speaker 1: back to what will become.
49:20
Speaker 2: Your own becoming. There are many people today. You see.
49:24
Speaker 1: If God says I'm going to give you one million
49:26
Speaker 1: next week, Satan will give you two hundred nightra now
49:30
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand right now? You say, why wait for
49:33
Speaker 1: one million? Of next week? I can give you two
49:36
Speaker 1: hundred thousand cash. And you will think and say next
49:40
Speaker 1: week a bed in hand? They say, it's what.
49:42
Speaker 2: I can't remember what the thing is? What two or
49:45
Speaker 2: five in the bush? No follow them? Go through? Faith
49:50
Speaker 2: is not what satan. Satan is a mass. Satan is
49:54
Speaker 2: a business man. He knows how to negotiate.
49:58
Speaker 1: From the instance, Jesus had not even s added his ministry.
50:01
Speaker 2: He waited patiently for the son of the.
50:03
Speaker 1: Living God to fast for forty days, and here he came, Jesus,
50:07
Speaker 1: let's talk. First, you are hungry. Turned this stone into bread,
50:11
Speaker 1: and he said it is written. Then he said, all right,
50:15
Speaker 1: I know. Let me take you to an exceeding high mountain.
50:18
Speaker 1: You just falled out. Is it not written in scripture
50:21
Speaker 1: that he will put his angels charge over you. They
50:23
Speaker 1: will guard you on their wings, and they insist that
50:25
Speaker 1: you don't.
50:25
Speaker 2: Dash your foot against a stone.
50:28
Speaker 1: Satan negotiating, and then Finally, the Bible says he took
50:34
Speaker 1: him into not on top, into an exceeding high mountain
50:40
Speaker 1: and showed him the glories of the world from that mountain.
50:43
Speaker 2: That mountain was not just a physical mountain.
50:45
Speaker 1: He took him into his fare and a realm and
50:48
Speaker 1: showed him all the captains of industry, business, and said,
50:52
Speaker 1: all these people I placed them there.
50:54
Speaker 2: I'm like a godfather.
50:56
Speaker 1: The keys is here with me. Just bow down to me.
51:00
Speaker 1: Why go through the rigor of the cross. Why are
51:03
Speaker 1: three and a half years of pain and misery, preaching
51:06
Speaker 1: and doing evangelism, recruiting stubborn disciples who will probably betray
51:11
Speaker 1: you tomorrow going through the cross feeding the five thousand.
51:14
Speaker 2: Let me save you that, Johnny. Just bow to me.
51:18
Speaker 2: This is what you want to collect.
51:20
Speaker 1: Bow to me, and Jesus said, depart from me, and
51:25
Speaker 1: he left him. I can imagine what happened when he
51:27
Speaker 1: met him again in hell Satan three years ago.
51:30
Speaker 2: We met.
51:31
Speaker 1: Now, I'm with you. Give me the keys. Now I
51:33
Speaker 1: can collect the keys. Legally, you offered me the keys,
51:39
Speaker 1: but if I received it, they would not be blood.
51:42
Speaker 1: There would not be death, there would not be the cross.
51:44
Speaker 1: I couldn't have died as a cross because the Mosannic
51:48
Speaker 1: the Mosaic law says that it has to be dead
51:51
Speaker 1: on a tree to make you a cause. So if
51:55
Speaker 1: he died but not on a tree, there's no way
52:00
Speaker 1: he would have become seen for us. The Bible says,
52:03
Speaker 1: what is written because to see that hanging on a tree,
52:06
Speaker 1: that the blessing of Abraham, justification by faith will come
52:10
Speaker 1: upon us the Gentiles, to the end that we may
52:13
Speaker 1: receive the promise of the Spirit by faith. We must
52:18
Speaker 1: learn to wait, Nigerians, we must learn to wait.
52:22
Speaker 2: God is a god that can bless people.
52:24
Speaker 1: But let's be careful with our idea of sharp shap
52:27
Speaker 1: Many people have been destroyed today. Do you know that
52:31
Speaker 1: when you rush while you are suffering the consequence of
52:35
Speaker 1: Russian someone who is falling process will still.
52:37
Speaker 2: Come and pass you while you are there. Managing the
52:40
Speaker 2: pain of Russian can be destructive. It is a It
52:43
Speaker 2: is a greater time waster. We will wait on the Lord,
52:55
Speaker 2: foreign pressons person and sir.
53:03
Speaker 1: And as we wait, now look up, please, what has
53:19
Speaker 1: God told you from scripture? Have you meditated upon it?
53:25
Speaker 1: Have you prayed? Have you confessed it with faith in
53:29
Speaker 1: your heart? Are we together. Have you obtained grace to
53:35
Speaker 1: work in keeping with the conditions that make for that manifestation?
53:42
Speaker 1: Obedience is very powerful. If yes, have you given thanks
53:47
Speaker 1: in advance, knowing that God is not a man that
53:50
Speaker 1: you should lie, not the son of man that you
53:52
Speaker 1: should repent, and haven't done all? Are you standing patiently waiting, patiently, waiting, patiently,
54:05
Speaker 1: waiting all the days of my appointed time?
54:08
Speaker 2: He said, I will wait until my.
54:12
Speaker 1: Change comes, all the days of my appointed time. I
54:16
Speaker 1: will wait until my child comes, until my land comes,
54:22
Speaker 1: until my influence comes, the Bible says, and John remained
54:27
Speaker 1: in the wilderness until.
54:29
Speaker 2: His ceasing of appearing. Let me speak to someone. Listen
54:32
Speaker 2: to me. There is always a season or appearing for anyone.
54:36
Speaker 1: Do you know if you force a door to open,
54:38
Speaker 1: even if it's not time to open, But if that
54:41
Speaker 1: door opens, it can kill you. Have you seen people
54:44
Speaker 1: try to plug mango from a tree we're wrapping up
54:47
Speaker 1: when it is not time, when that mango is not right.
54:50
Speaker 1: See the effort it takes. You can stone and hit
54:53
Speaker 1: someone's car and go to police station simply because you
54:56
Speaker 1: are not patient. For sometimes one moment, it's difficult to
55:03
Speaker 1: clock your fruits that is not yet ripe.
55:05
Speaker 2: The effort. But how many of you have mangoes around.
55:09
Speaker 1: You When it is time in the night, you think
55:11
Speaker 1: it's raining, everything is coming down, and you wake up
55:15
Speaker 1: in the morning to prepare blessings.
55:18
Speaker 2: That's what happens when casons come.
55:20
Speaker 1: God is speaking to someone said, is not foolishness and
55:24
Speaker 1: must balance this. We live in a generation that prides
55:30
Speaker 1: itself in excessive.
55:32
Speaker 2: Hurry and rush.
55:33
Speaker 1: I need to show people that I'm the youngest millionaire.
55:37
Speaker 1: I need to show people that I'm the most vibrand
55:39
Speaker 1: man of God at fifteen.
55:41
Speaker 2: I need to do this. I need to buy the
55:43
Speaker 2: best car.
55:44
Speaker 1: Sometimes not every open door is anointed. You have to
55:48
Speaker 1: be discerning when Satan wants to destroy you. Sometimes it
55:51
Speaker 1: can give you visa and off you go out of
55:54
Speaker 1: the will of God into tradition. We must sustain the
55:58
Speaker 1: maturity and the des assignment to discernd doors and discern opportunities.
56:03
Speaker 2: Can we pray this morning? Please rise upon your feet.
56:08
Speaker 4: We will be for stress.
56:23
Speaker 1: Now.
56:26
Speaker 2: So that's hallelujas. I have just two three minutes this morning.
56:40
Speaker 1: Sadly, I'm not sure that I may have the time
56:43
Speaker 1: to pray for people as I intended to, because there
56:46
Speaker 1: are other sessions and were most respected. However, please I
56:49
Speaker 1: like you to give me a minute or two. I
56:52
Speaker 1: just feel stared in my heart to make an other call.
56:54
Speaker 2: I believe with all my heart. Auter calls are not
56:57
Speaker 2: funeral services.
56:59
Speaker 1: Aut Calls are not times when weak and unsuccessful people
57:04
Speaker 1: just come to hand over their mess to Jesus. Now,
57:06
Speaker 1: an altar call is the no blessed decision that any
57:09
Speaker 1: man can make under Heaven. In all your getting in
57:13
Speaker 1: the Bible declares that if our hope is only in
57:15
Speaker 1: this life, It says, way of all men most miserable,
57:19
Speaker 1: there are men and there are women here, younger and
57:22
Speaker 1: old alike. Whilst listening to me teach on the subject
57:25
Speaker 1: of faith, how can you believe on one who you
57:27
Speaker 1: do not know. Here's what Apostle John said. This is
57:30
Speaker 1: the record that God hath given us eternal life. He said,
57:35
Speaker 1: but his structured the administration of this life in such
57:39
Speaker 1: a way and a manner that this life only comes
57:41
Speaker 1: through his son. So it is He that hath the
57:44
Speaker 1: son that had life. Being in church does not make
57:48
Speaker 1: you say believe me. Being around spiritual things, being a
57:51
Speaker 1: walker carrying a Christian name does not save you, for
57:55
Speaker 1: there is no name giving on to men. If you
57:57
Speaker 1: worship the four living creatures is still idolaty. If you
58:00
Speaker 1: waship the throne is still idolatry. If you worship Heaven,
58:03
Speaker 1: it's still idolatry. There is an object that represents the administration.
58:08
Speaker 2: Of the life of God is Jesus, the Son of
58:10
Speaker 2: the Living God.
58:11
Speaker 1: I want to make a call right now two sets
58:13
Speaker 1: of people, all at once, those who are saying, apostle,
58:16
Speaker 1: if you will give me this opportunity in this conference.
58:19
Speaker 1: I want to finally win that war and stand boldly
58:22
Speaker 1: to make a decision for Jesus. Others who are saying,
58:25
Speaker 1: I love Jesus and I've worked with him, but at
58:27
Speaker 1: some point my.
58:28
Speaker 2: Life has gone hay, and I'm trusted for renewal. We
58:31
Speaker 2: have just one minute. Wherever you are.
58:33
Speaker 1: Don't wait for someone to be the first, be bold
58:35
Speaker 1: win that will come and stand here. Let's celebrate them
58:38
Speaker 1: as they come.
58:38
Speaker 2: I will count one to five. Run like the fire
58:41
Speaker 2: on the mountain. One oh, I give you two please rush, come,
58:54
Speaker 2: come and san don't be ashamed. H are you calling God?
59:06
Speaker 2: Bless you? Keep coming. I have decided that to follow.
59:15
Speaker 1: Gesus, no turning back, no turning bad. I have decide
59:27
Speaker 1: that to follow Gsus.
59:32
Speaker 2: No turning back, no see one more time.
59:39
Speaker 1: I have decide that to follow Gesus.
59:46
Speaker 2: No tardy, no turning. I have the side that to
59:57
Speaker 2: follow g.
1:00:08
Speaker 1: Allelujah. Please look at me, my dear brothers and sisters.
1:00:11
Speaker 1: I salute you. It takes a lot of courage to
1:00:13
Speaker 1: come and stand before the people of God. But Jesus said,
1:00:16
Speaker 1: if you are ashamed of me before men, it declares
1:00:19
Speaker 1: that I'll be ashamed of you before my father. It
1:00:22
Speaker 1: is a very noble decision to stand before Jesus. And
1:00:28
Speaker 1: I want you to pray this prayer. Let it be
1:00:31
Speaker 1: from the depth of your heart. This is not some
1:00:33
Speaker 1: religious thing. This is not even a conference issue. This
1:00:36
Speaker 1: is about your destiny. With Jesus, you can find peace
1:00:39
Speaker 1: that surpasses all understanding. Can I tell you, no matter
1:00:42
Speaker 1: what has happened in your life, I do not care.
1:00:45
Speaker 2: No man condemns you.
1:00:46
Speaker 1: You're standing before the one who loves you so much,
1:00:49
Speaker 1: he declared. I have loved you with an everlasting love,
1:00:52
Speaker 1: he said, and I have drawn you with my loving kindness.
1:00:57
Speaker 1: God is able and willing to give you a new beginning.
1:01:00
Speaker 1: So as I lead you to pray, I like you
1:01:03
Speaker 1: to pray it passionately or not reciting a poem. This
1:01:07
Speaker 1: is from the depth of your heart. Please lift your
1:01:09
Speaker 1: right hand high to heaven. Lift your right hand high
1:01:12
Speaker 1: to heaven. Say this after me. Say it from the
1:01:15
Speaker 1: depth of your heart. Jesus is here. Say Lord, Jesus,
1:01:19
Speaker 1: I love you with all my heart, and I believe
1:01:25
Speaker 1: that you are the son of God. Today I make
1:01:31
Speaker 1: Jesus Lord of my life, Savior of my soul, King
1:01:39
Speaker 1: of my destiny. I receive eternal life. I receive the
1:01:44
Speaker 1: abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. And I
1:01:50
Speaker 1: declare that I reign in life. The power of sin,
1:01:55
Speaker 1: the power of Satan, the power of the.
1:01:58
Speaker 2: Grave is broken over my life.
1:02:02
Speaker 1: From today I go forward ever and backward never in
1:02:08
Speaker 1: Jesus' name. Keep your hands lifted. Your Majesty will present
1:02:12
Speaker 1: to you the ones you died for. It's an honor
1:02:16
Speaker 1: to watch this. My dear brothers and sisters, come to Jesus.
1:02:21
Speaker 1: For the Bible declares that whoever will come to you
1:02:23
Speaker 1: you will in no wise cast away. I pray that
1:02:26
Speaker 1: according to their declarations, and according to the authority of Scripture,
1:02:30
Speaker 1: I declare your sins forgiving. I declare the administration of
1:02:34
Speaker 1: eternal life to your spirit in the name of Jesus.
1:02:38
Speaker 1: From today and forever you walk victoriously in the name
1:02:42
Speaker 1: of Jesus. May God find worthy vessels in your life.
1:02:46
Speaker 1: And I pray that you will do wonders.
1:02:48
Speaker 2: With the life God has given you. The Lord bless you,
1:02:51
Speaker 2: The Lord keep you.
1:02:52
Speaker 1: I commend you to the ministry of the world and
1:02:55
Speaker 1: the ministry of the Holy Spirit, that you be built
1:02:57
Speaker 1: and you be established in righteousness. In Jesus name. We pray,
1:03:02
Speaker 1: Amen and Amen. God bless you.
1:03:03
Speaker 2: Now.
1:03:03
Speaker 1: Please, this is what I want you to do. There's
1:03:05
Speaker 1: a brother waving his hands there, all of you together
1:03:08
Speaker 1: in concert.
1:03:09
Speaker 2: I just want your words.
1:03:10
Speaker 1: We're appreciating them. I want you to follow that gentleman
1:03:13
Speaker 1: that will lead you to a room. They'll just have
1:03:15
Speaker 1: a word with you and you'll be back. Can we
1:03:17
Speaker 1: appreciate them, celebrate them? Celebrate them? Is this the best
1:03:22
Speaker 1: you can do? Hallelujah? Before I take my seat, I
1:03:33
Speaker 1: really want to use this opportunity.
1:03:35
Speaker 2: To say thank you again. Of course what you do mean,
1:03:38
Speaker 2: thank you your wife.
1:03:39
Speaker 1: Thank you and the entire church, thank you for this opportunity.
1:03:43
Speaker 1: And then finally to just speak over our lives.
1:03:46
Speaker 2: Is that all right?
1:03:46
Speaker 1: I decree and declare, even though we didn't have the
1:03:49
Speaker 1: time to pray God or create another opportunity for us,
1:03:53
Speaker 1: but I speak over your life, everything that has defied
1:03:57
Speaker 1: the world of God. Over your life, I stand and
1:04:00
Speaker 1: I release my faith with you in the name of Jesus.
1:04:03
Speaker 2: Before the end of this month, may your eyes see
1:04:05
Speaker 2: signs and wonders. In the name of Jesus Christ.
1:04:12
Speaker 1: I declare by the Spirit that God will raise men
1:04:15
Speaker 1: and women who will stand by you and stand for you,
1:04:17
Speaker 1: and see to it that the purposes of God come
1:04:20
Speaker 1: to pass in your life. Even in this season, I
1:04:23
Speaker 1: plant in you by the spirit hunger for spiritual things.
1:04:27
Speaker 2: May your prayer.
1:04:28
Speaker 1: Life come a life in Jesus' name. May your words
1:04:32
Speaker 1: study life come a life in Jesus name. I take
1:04:35
Speaker 1: away any and all forms of distraction from your life
1:04:39
Speaker 1: and your destiny, and I decree and declare the grace
1:04:42
Speaker 1: to passionately pursue your destiny. May that grace come upon you.
1:04:47
Speaker 1: Gear me everything that has refused to work in your life.
1:04:50
Speaker 1: I declare by the spirit of grace. From tonight and
1:04:53
Speaker 1: after this conference, let it begin to walk supernaturally. In
1:04:58
Speaker 1: the name of Jesus. I prophesy that you go from
1:05:01
Speaker 1: glory to glory, you go from grace to grace, and
1:05:05
Speaker 1: Jesus name, I pray God bless you.
