Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: In the morning, it took us to school.
- 0:10Speaker 2: As we dealt with the fundamentals of ministry.
- 0:17Speaker 1: This evening is you know, I have all these words
- 0:23Speaker 1: in my head.
- 0:27Speaker 2: When I was praying and I wanted to choose the theme,
- 0:30Speaker 2: and I said a ammed and dangerous. The other word
- 0:32Speaker 2: that came to me was locked and loaded. If you're
- 0:36Speaker 2: in the military, you understand when you're locked and loaded,
- 0:39Speaker 2: you're ready to go. And I believe that the Man
- 0:41Speaker 2: of God is locked and loaded, that is pulled back. Okay, Please,
- 0:50Speaker 2: will you please let us honor the grace of God
- 0:53Speaker 2: on this Man of God by standing to our feet.
- 1:02Speaker 3: A true voice to a generation, a man that I
- 1:08Speaker 3: say boldly anywhere that on him truly rest the spirit
- 1:13Speaker 3: of revelation. I have been amazed at the profundity of
- 1:23Speaker 3: his thought processes, the astuteness of his mind and his
- 1:29Speaker 3: delivery is second to none. South South past Us and
- 1:35Speaker 3: Leaders Conference twenty twenty one, please make welcome for the
- 1:39Speaker 3: second session all the ways from the city of Abu Jazaria,

- 1:49Speaker 3: Joshua Selman.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Raise the name of the Lord I profound honor to
- 2:18Speaker 1: the fathers of faith. I may not know you personally,
- 2:22Speaker 1: but I honor the grace and the investment of God
- 2:25Speaker 1: upon your life. When you honor a man, you're not
- 2:28Speaker 1: just honoring time. You're honoring sacrifice, consistency, diligence, that's staying, power,
- 2:35Speaker 1: the grace to continue. And we truly honor you in
- 2:38Speaker 1: the name of Jesus Christ. And then please help me
- 2:42Speaker 1: honor the Angel over this house, pastor landry, thank you
- 2:46Speaker 1: and praise the name of the Lord. Can we pray
- 2:54Speaker 1: for a few minutes? I believe in prayer, and we
- 3:01Speaker 1: spend a few minutes praying in the spirit, so that
- 3:04Speaker 1: the Lord will open our hearts to receive even as
- 3:07Speaker 1: we explore the word of God. So lift your voice
- 3:12Speaker 1: and less together just bless him, praying in the spirit

- 7:36Speaker 1: Jacob had two encounters Genesis Chapter twenty eight. The Bible
- 7:43Speaker 1: says that Jacob found a place in the night to sleep,
- 7:47Speaker 1: and he did not understand the covenant that was around
- 7:50Speaker 1: that place. The Bible says, whilst he slept, his eyes
- 7:54Speaker 1: were opened, and he saw angels ascending and descending. The
- 8:00Speaker 1: Bible never said they were coming to him. They were
- 8:04Speaker 1: coming to those who were making a demand on their ministry.
- 8:07Speaker 1: They were passing him. He was seeing them, yet he
- 8:10Speaker 1: was not impacted by their presence. When he got up,
- 8:14Speaker 1: he said, the Lord was in displace, and I knew not.
- 8:20Speaker 1: The next time he would have such an experience is
- 8:22Speaker 1: in chapter thirty two of Genesis.
- 8:24Speaker 8: This time around, he.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Had gone through seasons of pain in the house of Love,
- 8:29Speaker 1: and he had understood the value of God's presence. After
- 8:33Speaker 1: he dismissed his wives his cattle, the people said, a
- 8:36Speaker 1: man came to him, and he held him.
- 8:39Speaker 8: He said, leave me for the day break it.
- 8:41Speaker 1: He says, I will not let you go unless you
- 8:44Speaker 1: bless me.
- 8:47Speaker 8: And he says, what is your name?
- 8:49Speaker 1: He says Jacob. He said, thou shalt no longer be
- 8:51Speaker 1: called Jacob, for I said, Prince, you have had power
- 8:54Speaker 1: with God and have prevailed.
- 8:57Speaker 8: He touched the horror of his tie and blessed.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Him, and the Bible says the sun arose and he
- 9:06Speaker 1: called the place penny Hell. I have seen God face
- 9:09Speaker 1: to face, and my life is preserved. Father, give me
- 9:13Speaker 1: an encounter in this conference. Lift your voice and pray
- 9:17Speaker 1: an encounter that will shift my life my ministry. Please pray.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Let it be from the depth of your heart. For
- 9:24Speaker 1: everyone that asked received, everyone that asked received. He have
- 9:31Speaker 1: not because he has not to shivascallebranda dabas. Give me
- 9:45Speaker 1: an encounter, Oh God, that will prepare me to be
- 9:48Speaker 1: a mighty battle.
- 9:49Speaker 4: Ass alleluyah. Praise the name of the Lord.
- 10:04Speaker 1: Again. It truly is my joy to be here. We
- 10:07Speaker 1: have a lot to do. I like you to be
- 10:09Speaker 1: very sensitive. This is a very major part of the conference.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Now many things will be happening. We have some time
- 10:18Speaker 1: to teach and then wrap up tonight with an importation.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Just be patient and let your heart be opened. The
- 10:26Speaker 1: Bibles as well. Peter, yet speak these things. The Holy
- 10:30Speaker 1: Goos fell not on them that were around, on them
- 10:33Speaker 1: that had him. It didn't fall on those who are
- 10:36Speaker 1: around the vicinity. It fell on those who had him.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Praise the name of the Lord. It is always the
- 10:45Speaker 1: hearing of faith and the working of miracles. So I
- 10:51Speaker 1: like for us to be opened, and let's trust the
- 10:54Speaker 1: Lord to help us. In Jesus' name. Please be seated
- 10:57Speaker 1: if you can. We began to discuss in the morning
- 11:03Speaker 1: on fundamentals of effective ministry. Just a quick recap for
- 11:08Speaker 1: those who were not here in the morning. The goal
- 11:12Speaker 1: was to examine basically the idea of ministry from the
- 11:17Speaker 1: standpoint of the kingdom. We observe that the Body of
- 11:23Speaker 1: Christ has been plagued with all kinds of wrong ideas
- 11:27Speaker 1: of ministry, ranging from standing behind the pulpit, holding a mic,
- 11:32Speaker 1: leading a Christian organization, organizing programs. That none of these
- 11:37Speaker 1: things in themselves is ministry, and activity can only be
- 11:42Speaker 1: called ministry if and when the motivation behind it is
- 11:47Speaker 1: to reveal Jesus and to glorify him. Are we together
- 11:51Speaker 1: that ministry basically refers to Kingdom service, and it is
- 11:56Speaker 1: not limited to spiritual activities around a pulpit or around
- 12:00Speaker 1: a church. Any contribution, any participation, any activity, any effort
- 12:08Speaker 1: that is channeled towards the revelation of the Christ and
- 12:12Speaker 1: the glorification of the same is called ministry. Your marriage
- 12:16Speaker 1: can become ministry if Kingdom come is represented in that union.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Raising of your children is called ministry. If you raise
- 12:26Speaker 1: them to the end that Christ be revealed in and
- 12:29Speaker 1: through them, your money can become ministry you're giving. The
- 12:33Speaker 1: difference between the donation and ministring with your finances is
- 12:38Speaker 1: the motivation. So the Lord cultured our hearts back to
- 12:43Speaker 1: an understanding that it is not the activities that make ministry.
- 12:48Speaker 1: You can be involved with activities, but not being ministry.
- 12:53Speaker 1: We observe how that the prophet Isaiah began to prophesy
- 12:58Speaker 1: right from chapter one, and for the first five chapters
- 13:00Speaker 1: there's no record and mention of him being thick, and
- 13:03Speaker 1: yet in heaven there was still a call, who shall
- 13:05Speaker 1: go for us? And who shall we send? When Isaiah
- 13:09Speaker 1: saw the Lord, he saw the level of insufficiency, and
- 13:15Speaker 1: that call was used to touch his lips, and he says,
- 13:20Speaker 1: now your iniquity is taken from you, then who shall
- 13:22Speaker 1: we send? He said, here am I send me? And
- 13:25Speaker 1: God didn't say you are already sent. That means while
- 13:30Speaker 1: he was doing a lot of things that we call ministry,
- 13:33Speaker 1: heaven was still calling, who shall go for us? Prays
- 13:37Speaker 1: the name of the Lord, and that ministry is not
- 13:39Speaker 1: limited to the fivefold. I know that this is a
- 13:43Speaker 1: past us and leader's conference, but the core idea of
- 13:46Speaker 1: ministry has to do with representing the interest the agenda
- 13:50Speaker 1: of God in whatever capacity. The unique expression of the
- 13:55Speaker 1: fivefold is because they are the ones mandated as the
- 13:59Speaker 1: gifts that build the ministers. Efficients Chapter four, Paul was
- 14:05Speaker 1: mentoring the church in Ephesus, and he began a discourse
- 14:10Speaker 1: that led to what we now call the five or
- 14:14Speaker 1: fourfold ministry. Whichever perspective you want to look at it from.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Let's turn there to start for tonight. If he says
- 14:21Speaker 1: chapter four, from verse ten, the Bible says, he that
- 14:29Speaker 1: descended is the same also that ascended far above all heavens,
- 14:34Speaker 1: that he might feel all things. And then the Bible says,
- 14:37Speaker 1: next verse he gave some apostles, some prophets, some evangelists,
- 14:45Speaker 1: and some pastors and teachers. These men are not the ministers.
- 14:51Speaker 1: These are the gifts he gave to men. The Bible says,
- 14:54Speaker 1: he gave gifts to men. The gifts are not talents.
- 14:57Speaker 1: The gifts are men. He gave men men. And then
- 15:02Speaker 1: he says next verse twelve, for the maturing the word
- 15:07Speaker 1: perfecting their means, the building up to maturity, the maturing
- 15:11Speaker 1: of the saints, that the saints, now matured will do
- 15:15Speaker 1: the work of the ministry for the edifying of the
- 15:19Speaker 1: Body of Christ. Tatin says, till we all come into
- 15:24Speaker 1: a mystery in the spirit called the unity of faith,
- 15:28Speaker 1: and of the knowledge of the Son of God, onto
- 15:30Speaker 1: a perfect man, onto the measure of the stature of
- 15:34Speaker 1: the fullness of Christ. The result, the Bible says that
- 15:37Speaker 1: we henceforth being no children tos toe and fro and
- 15:43Speaker 1: carried about with every wind of doctrine and the slight
- 15:47Speaker 1: of men, and conning craftiness wherein they lie in wait
- 15:51Speaker 1: to deceive. So the fivefold Ministry was uniquely called and
- 15:55Speaker 1: gifted to the body to help in that process of maturity.
- 16:00Speaker 1: It's important that we understand that if you find yourself
- 16:04Speaker 1: in the five fold ministry, yes you are also in
- 16:07Speaker 1: ministry technically, but in reality you are the gift that
- 16:12Speaker 1: prepares men to represent the purposes of God effectively, and
- 16:18Speaker 1: that your assignment does not stop until we come into
- 16:22Speaker 1: a point called the unity of faith. Are you seeing
- 16:25Speaker 1: that many times we rest when we have crowds. God
- 16:28Speaker 1: gave us the condition that must be met for us
- 16:31Speaker 1: to know that we have done well. It is not
- 16:33Speaker 1: when you have hundred branches. It is not when you
- 16:36Speaker 1: have your name is all over the town. You're doing well.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Based on human parameters. The Bible says you should never
- 16:44Speaker 1: relent until you find out that the Body of Christ
- 16:47Speaker 1: attains this state called the unity of faith, that maturity.
- 16:52Speaker 1: And I can tell you the Body of Christ has
- 16:54Speaker 1: done well, but we're far from that state. That means
- 16:56Speaker 1: every one of us, regardless of our achievements, anically speaking,
- 17:01Speaker 1: we must be up and doing to contribute to this
- 17:04Speaker 1: reality is a burden in the heart of the Father
- 17:07Speaker 1: that the Body of Christ believers be matured. Are we together?
- 17:13Speaker 1: So I want to start this afternoon by discussing doctrine.
- 17:17Speaker 1: We said we're going to discourse doctrine and discipleship. Doctrine
- 17:23Speaker 1: and discipleship doctrine is the mystery behind tature and maturity.
- 17:32Speaker 8: Please look up.
- 17:33Speaker 1: The Bible tells us that God's goal for his body
- 17:38Speaker 1: for believers is that they not only become effective members
- 17:43Speaker 1: of a denomination, they not only become loyal followers of
- 17:48Speaker 1: spiritual leaders. That God's goal is that through the ministry
- 17:55Speaker 1: of these gifts, the Body of Christ will come in
- 18:00Speaker 1: to a state of maturity. So the assignment of the
- 18:03Speaker 1: man of God, the assignment of a minister of the Gospel,
- 18:08Speaker 1: primarily is to use the tool that the Bible calls doctrine.
- 18:14Speaker 1: Doctrine is the name given to the cost curriculum that
- 18:17Speaker 1: makes believers matured. You have to understand this. There is
- 18:20Speaker 1: a definite cost curriculum given to believers by which we
- 18:24Speaker 1: attain maturity. We're not left to our opinions in building
- 18:29Speaker 1: believers in secular education. We do not call people doctors
- 18:36Speaker 1: engineers just by freelancing opinions. There is an exact body
- 18:40Speaker 1: of knowledge they submit to. Are we together? Yes, were
- 18:45Speaker 1: diagnosing the problem with the body of Christ. Now that
- 18:48Speaker 1: the reason why there is a difference in spiritual understanding.
- 18:52Speaker 1: You meet two believers at random and ask them to
- 18:55Speaker 1: engage in a conversation, They most likely will end up
- 18:58Speaker 1: fighting because of the extent of divide. They will agree
- 19:04Speaker 1: that we serve one God. They will agree that Jesus
- 19:07Speaker 1: Christ is a Lord of all. But now begin to
- 19:10Speaker 1: allow them to communicate, and in five minutes they're irritating
- 19:14Speaker 1: one another. Their terminologist what they believe, What they do
- 19:17Speaker 1: not believe that state was produced by an incorrect mentorship
- 19:22Speaker 1: from leaders. If you call a medical doctor from portacot here,
- 19:30Speaker 1: you bring another medical doctor from India, You bring another
- 19:34Speaker 1: medical doctor from China, you bring another medical doctor from
- 19:38Speaker 1: my degree. If you put them together, have never met themselves,
- 19:43Speaker 1: leave them in a conversation. The margin of error will
- 19:46Speaker 1: be very small because it was the same curriculum that
- 19:49Speaker 1: was used to build them. If we are having several
- 19:53Speaker 1: believers with different opinions, the problem is not the members.
- 19:57Speaker 1: We need to go back to examine what script we
- 20:00Speaker 1: are using for the mentorship of those believers we still together.
- 20:08Speaker 1: What we do in the Body of Christ is largely
- 20:12Speaker 1: opinions and personalized dealings. Let me tell you how error
- 20:15Speaker 1: comes to the body. Error comes to the body because
- 20:19Speaker 1: of the way God treat men. You see, if God
- 20:22Speaker 1: is calling me into an apostolic ministry or a prophetic ministry,
- 20:26Speaker 1: the character of his training will be such that number one,
- 20:30Speaker 1: there are other aspects that I need in my life
- 20:33Speaker 1: that will not be captured in that training. God will
- 20:35Speaker 1: focus on the core areas that become the pillars of
- 20:39Speaker 1: my ministry.
- 20:39Speaker 8: I give you an instance. If God is raising me
- 20:42Speaker 8: to be a prophet.
- 20:43Speaker 1: Chances how that you will not teach me anything on
- 20:46Speaker 1: administration and excellence and leadership. My training will revolve around visions,
- 20:52Speaker 1: the gifts of the spirit, the ministry of prayer. Are
- 20:55Speaker 1: we together now?
- 20:56Speaker 8: And because my dealing is so with God, I will
- 20:59Speaker 8: assume that is all I need.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Two mistakes will come from that dealing if I do
- 21:06Speaker 1: not leverage on the other supplies in the body of Christ.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Number one is that all the people that will mentor,
- 21:13Speaker 1: I will mentor them to respect only the dimension that
- 21:18Speaker 1: was priority as fast my training is concerned. Any other
- 21:21Speaker 1: dimension that comes, I will teach them subliminally or directly
- 21:27Speaker 1: to reject it because it was not captured in my training.
- 21:31Speaker 1: Just because it was not captured in your training does
- 21:34Speaker 1: not mean you will not need it. God allow that
- 21:36Speaker 1: limitation intentionally to force you to depend on the body.
- 21:42Speaker 1: Are went together now? Please follow very carefully. There is
- 21:52Speaker 1: a danger still extending on my point with personalized dealings.
- 21:58Speaker 8: Personalized dealings have to.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Do with your personal walk with God. There is a
- 22:04Speaker 1: way God trains me as a person that may not
- 22:07Speaker 1: be applicable to any other person. It's a product of
- 22:10Speaker 1: my level of yieldedness. It's a product of a backlog
- 22:13Speaker 1: of my experiences, my level of transformation, or otherwise my personality.
- 22:19Speaker 1: Those are factors that define how God trains me. Personalized
- 22:26Speaker 1: dealings are good for your personal growth, but they are
- 22:29Speaker 1: not sufficient for you to ship them to become doctrines.
- 22:33Speaker 1: There is a condition for a truth, according to Scripture,
- 22:37Speaker 1: to be called a doctrine. Number one, it must be
- 22:40Speaker 1: represented in the character of the Old Testament. Number two,
- 22:44Speaker 1: it must be captured in the earthly ministry of Jesus.
- 22:47Speaker 1: That body of knowledge must be represented in his teaching
- 22:50Speaker 1: or in his work.
- 22:51Speaker 8: Number three, we must see that body.
- 22:53Speaker 1: Of truth represented in the life and the teachings of
- 22:56Speaker 1: the Apostles. Any truth that does not pass this monstess
- 23:00Speaker 1: cannot be called a doctrine. So if because God has
- 23:07Speaker 1: vetted my heart and has found that having five cars
- 23:11Speaker 1: may derail me, he can give me a unique instruction
- 23:15Speaker 1: and saying your whole lifetime, do not have more than
- 23:18Speaker 1: three cars, it is not a doctrine. It is his
- 23:24Speaker 1: gage to help me to be efficient based on the vulnerabilities.
- 23:28Speaker 1: He knows. Now, because I obey him, I will excel
- 23:32Speaker 1: based on that obedience. So When I'm mentoring people and
- 23:35Speaker 1: they ask me the secret of my success, I will
- 23:38Speaker 1: tell them I have only three cars, whereas there is
- 23:42Speaker 1: a Kingdom financier who needs twelve for the sake of
- 23:45Speaker 1: the gospel. I will make him feel guilty for being
- 23:48Speaker 1: obedient to his call because he has to subscribe to
- 23:51Speaker 1: my template to be called successful. Are we following I'm
- 24:00Speaker 1: showing you the evolution of error and imbalancing the body.
- 24:04Speaker 1: It didn't come because the ministers are wrong. It came
- 24:07Speaker 1: because we did not prioritize doctrine above experiences. So largely
- 24:12Speaker 1: what is communicated is our personalized dealings. And because there
- 24:16Speaker 1: are results to show, it's difficult to.
- 24:18Speaker 8: Say you are wrong. Are well together?
- 24:24Speaker 1: So from my three cars example, find out that I'm
- 24:27Speaker 1: efficient disciplined. Based on that, Now, someone who are mentoring,
- 24:32Speaker 1: wanting to be like me, regardless the scope of his assignment,
- 24:38Speaker 1: will reject anything. If he hears anybody saying, wow, I
- 24:42Speaker 1: have ten cars, and five of it is giving to missionaries,
- 24:46Speaker 1: he will most likely fight that person because his mentor's
- 24:49Speaker 1: template did not allow for that possibility. If God has
- 24:56Speaker 1: called me to be a prophet, for instance, and then
- 24:59Speaker 1: I do not leverage on the supplies of the accurate
- 25:03Speaker 1: teaching ministry to build. Someone can come and then I
- 25:07Speaker 1: want to preach, and I say, look, I don't have
- 25:10Speaker 1: time for that. There's time to professy. And I begin
- 25:12Speaker 1: to professy, and people are receiving miracles. You see that now,
- 25:16Speaker 1: because of the excellency of the results and the charismatism
- 25:20Speaker 1: around the gift, I will neglect the teaching ministry. So
- 25:23Speaker 1: all the people I raise will not place value on
- 25:26Speaker 1: the teaching ministry. The day they go somewhere and there's
- 25:29Speaker 1: two hours of sound teaching, they will call it nonsense.
- 25:32Speaker 1: They will say this is a dry, powerless service because
- 25:36Speaker 1: the templates that was given to them did not place
- 25:39Speaker 1: priority on teaching. Away together. If I'm an arrow gant
- 25:52Speaker 1: man of God who has no respect for other gifts
- 25:55Speaker 1: in the body of Christ, subliminally, all the people that
- 26:00Speaker 1: that are under my tutelage and mentorship, as I insult
- 26:03Speaker 1: other men of God to their hearing, as I tear
- 26:06Speaker 1: down people to their hearing, they begin to learn these things,
- 26:10Speaker 1: and in loyalty to me, they will follow that same pattern.
- 26:14Speaker 1: You see that now, So you have a generation of
- 26:19Speaker 1: people having the ripple effect of the error of mentors.
- 26:23Speaker 1: We carry our personalities and we blame the Holy Spirit
- 26:26Speaker 1: for it. Otherwise would have been honor shamed enough to say, look,
- 26:30Speaker 1: this one is not the Holy Spirit.
- 26:32Speaker 8: It's a weakness in my personality.
- 26:34Speaker 1: I can work on it.
- 26:35Speaker 8: Our ego may not allow us to admit.
- 26:37Speaker 1: So we call everything that happens around our lives, we
- 26:40Speaker 1: credit it to the Holy Spirit, when it is clear
- 26:43Speaker 1: that he does not have a handed many of them.
- 26:45Speaker 1: If I have anger problems, it has nothing to do
- 26:48Speaker 1: with the Holy Ghost. It's just a level of on
- 26:50Speaker 1: renewedeness in my heart. And must be shamed enough to
- 26:53Speaker 1: admit that even though he's using me, he's not endorsing
- 26:57Speaker 1: that weakness. Are we together? So we have different versions
- 27:11Speaker 1: of these limitations scattered across the body of Christ, from
- 27:15Speaker 1: pride to lack of seriousness with the word, to accuracy
- 27:22Speaker 1: the world with no grace for performance, to exaggerations of truth,
- 27:27Speaker 1: to bitterness the scattered across regions. The major problem is
- 27:32Speaker 1: not the devil. The major problem is the absence of
- 27:36Speaker 1: doctrinal content in our teachings. It's largely an exegesis of opinions.
- 27:45Speaker 1: But believe us were never never supposed to be raised
- 27:52Speaker 1: by opinions. Doctrines must be exalted. You are not a disciple,
- 27:59Speaker 1: and you are not doing discipleship. If what you are
- 28:02Speaker 1: teaching is not doctrine, please write this down. Are we
- 28:05Speaker 1: still together? The word doctrine comes from the Latin word doctrina.
- 28:13Speaker 1: The word doctrine comes from the Latin word doctrina. It
- 28:18Speaker 1: means teaching. It means instruction. Comes from the Latin word doctrina.
- 28:25Speaker 1: It means teaching. It means instruction. What is doctrine? Generally speaking?
- 28:31Speaker 1: Doctrine refers to a set of beliefs that are accepted
- 28:35Speaker 1: and taught. A set of beliefs accepted and taught. It
- 28:40Speaker 1: also refers to a body of teachings or instructions. A
- 28:45Speaker 1: body of teachings or instructions. A body of teachings or instructions. Deuteronomy,
- 28:53Speaker 1: chapter thirty two and verse two. Please let's look at
- 28:56Speaker 1: a few scriptures that show the power and the excellency
- 28:59Speaker 1: of doctrine.
- 29:00Speaker 8: The cost content.
- 29:01Speaker 1: It says, my doctrine shall drop as the rain, my
- 29:05Speaker 1: speech shall distill as the deal, as the small rain
- 29:08Speaker 1: upon a tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass,
- 29:12Speaker 1: So the doctrine is like rain that comes upon a little.
- 29:15Speaker 8: Plant and causes it to grow. Doctrine the rain.
- 29:19Speaker 1: That comes upon a young believer and helps the believer
- 29:22Speaker 1: to grow to stature and maturity. If you're with me,
- 29:26Speaker 1: please say amen, very very important. Isaiah twenty nine and
- 29:34Speaker 1: verse twenty four. Let's just look at three scriptures for timesake.
- 29:40Speaker 1: It says they also that aired in spirit shall come
- 29:43Speaker 1: to understand, and they that momoed shall lend doctrine. Those
- 29:50Speaker 1: who have aired in spirit will come to a point
- 29:52Speaker 1: of understanding when they lend doctrine. Jeremiah ten and verse eight. Jeremiah,
- 30:04Speaker 1: Chapter ten and verse eight. But they are all together
- 30:09Speaker 1: brutish and foolish. The stock is a doctrine of vanities.
- 30:14Speaker 1: There is such a doctrine called a doctrine of vanities.
- 30:19Speaker 1: A doctrine of vanities. It means that when you sit
- 30:23Speaker 1: under the mentorship of that body of information, it will
- 30:26Speaker 1: lead you to a mundane life that has no profit
- 30:29Speaker 1: as far as God's standpoint is concerned. A doctrine of vanities.
- 30:35Speaker 1: Let's look at doctrine in the ministry of Jesus. Because
- 30:38Speaker 1: Jesus is a pattern man. The Bible says to look
- 30:41Speaker 1: onto Jesus. Every time the Bible says look on, it
- 30:45Speaker 1: means observe to learn. It doesn't just mean.
- 30:48Speaker 8: Look with your optical eyes. Let me show you what
- 30:50Speaker 8: it means to look.
- 30:52Speaker 1: It means to look intently, to observe, ready to receive,
- 30:57Speaker 1: ready to learn at Chapter asks Chapter four asks Chapter four, Please,
- 31:12Speaker 1: I need to explain to us very quickly what it
- 31:14Speaker 1: means to look. Let's said, be the name of the Lord.
- 31:20Speaker 1: Ask Chapter three. I meant to say, ask Chapter three. Please,
- 31:24Speaker 1: let's start from verse one. Please pay attention the key
- 31:26Speaker 1: verses verse five. But let's run through the first five verses.
- 31:30Speaker 8: Now.
- 31:30Speaker 1: Peter and John went up together into the temple at
- 31:34Speaker 1: the hour of prayer.
- 31:35Speaker 8: The Bible says, been the ninth hour.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Verse two, it says, and a certain man, pay attention, please,
- 31:42Speaker 1: lame from his mother's womb, was carried whom they laid
- 31:45Speaker 1: at the gate of the temple, which is called beautiful.
- 31:48Speaker 1: To ask arms and of them that entered into the temple.
- 31:52Speaker 8: Verse three, who's seeing Peter? So he was already seeing Peter.
- 31:57Speaker 8: Who's seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple?
- 32:00Speaker 1: Asks for Alms four and Peter fastening his eyes upon him,
- 32:07Speaker 1: with John said look on us. What does that mean?
- 32:12Speaker 1: The meaning of that statement look on us is found
- 32:15Speaker 1: in verse five. Every time you say look on us
- 32:18Speaker 1: in scripture, this is what it means.
- 32:19Speaker 8: And he gave heed to them expecting to receive. That's
- 32:24Speaker 8: what it means to look every time it says, look
- 32:27Speaker 8: on us, give heed expecting to receive.
- 32:34Speaker 1: Are we together looking on to Jesus giving heed to
- 32:40Speaker 1: him expecting to receive? Matthew chapter seven. Please let's run
- 32:47Speaker 1: through a few scriptures. Please be patient, Matthew chapter seven
- 32:50Speaker 1: and verse twenty eight.
- 32:52Speaker 8: Matthew seven and verse twenty eight.
- 32:55Speaker 1: And it came to pass the Bible says when Jesus
- 32:58Speaker 1: had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Jesus communicated doctrine, an exact body of truth that was
- 33:10Speaker 1: supposed to mentor these young disciples who would later become
- 33:14Speaker 1: the apostles of the Lamb.
- 33:16Speaker 8: Matthew chapter twenty two and verse three.
- 33:19Speaker 1: Let's see how many we can touch, very briefly, just
- 33:22Speaker 1: to establish the fact that Jesus was not.
- 33:26Speaker 8: Matthew, Chapter twenty two and verse thirty three. Thirty three
- 33:32Speaker 8: Matthew twenty two, thirty three.
- 33:34Speaker 1: The Bible says, when the multitude heard this, they were
- 33:37Speaker 1: astonished at.
- 33:38Speaker 8: His So what did he teach them? Doctrine?
- 33:42Speaker 1: Doctrine, an exact, authorized prescribe body of spiritual knowledge, not opinions.
- 33:51Speaker 1: Jesus taught doctrines. Mark chapter one and verse twenty two,
- 33:58Speaker 1: Mark one twenty two. Let's if we can touch on
- 34:00Speaker 1: two or three more scriptures. The Bible says, whilst.
- 34:03Speaker 8: He taught, they were as tonished at his.
- 34:06Speaker 1: Doctrine, for he taught them as one that had authority,
- 34:09Speaker 1: and not as the scribes in the temple.
- 34:12Speaker 8: He taught doctrine.
- 34:14Speaker 1: You see the reason why the products that came from
- 34:16Speaker 1: Jesus were mature and powerful, because even though he was
- 34:20Speaker 1: the son of God, he taught doctrine. Look chapter four
- 34:28Speaker 1: and verse thirty two. Look chapter four and verse thirty two.
- 34:33Speaker 1: Look chapter four and verse thirty two. The Bible says,
- 34:41Speaker 1: they were as tonished at his doctrine.
- 34:43Speaker 8: Aha, for his word was with power.
- 34:48Speaker 1: That means if you teach and what you teach ends
- 34:53Speaker 1: up just as a lecture, something is wrong with it.
- 34:56Speaker 1: Because if it's his doctrine, there is also in it
- 35:00Speaker 1: a power, dimension are way together. Just because it is
- 35:05Speaker 1: a teaching ministry does not mean it should not come
- 35:08Speaker 1: with power. The Bible says they were astonished at his doctrine.
- 35:13Speaker 1: Why because that word in the doctrine was with power,
- 35:18Speaker 1: power to change, power to lift, power to transform, power
- 35:22Speaker 1: to heal, power to deliver. Last Scripture, John eighteen nineteen.
- 35:28Speaker 1: John eighteen nineteen. Were examining the ministry of Jesus. The
- 35:34Speaker 1: High priest then asked Jesus of his disciples and of
- 35:38Speaker 1: his doctrine. Look at this. When they wanted to fight Jesus,
- 35:43Speaker 1: their attention was on two things. Number one, his followers.
- 35:48Speaker 1: Number two his message. This was what threatened the entire
- 35:53Speaker 1: Sanhandring council. They were not afraid of Jesus as a person.
- 36:00Speaker 1: One thing about the quality of his teaching was tearing
- 36:03Speaker 1: a revolution. What is this man teaching? It was affecting
- 36:07Speaker 1: the minds of the people, and so they wanted to
- 36:10Speaker 1: know number one, what are you teaching? Number two, who
- 36:13Speaker 1: is hearing you? This is a strategy. The devil will
- 36:16Speaker 1: come after you in ministry. When it comes. He wants
- 36:19Speaker 1: to know two things. Number one, what is the content?
- 36:23Speaker 1: Because he knows that words make he knows that truth's
- 36:28Speaker 1: ideas transform, So before I attack that shot, let me
- 36:32Speaker 1: know if it's worth my attack. What are you teaching
- 36:35Speaker 1: If you're teaching opinions, he said, you're already defeated.
- 36:37Speaker 8: You just continue. I will leave you to think you
- 36:39Speaker 8: are making progress.
- 36:40Speaker 1: There are many people who don't have attacks in their lives.
- 36:43Speaker 1: It does not mean they're doing well. It's a sign
- 36:46Speaker 1: that there's no point attacking them. The heer in doctrine
- 36:53Speaker 1: has already made you defeated. He asks Jesus of his disciples,
- 37:01Speaker 1: and he acts of his doctrine. Two things that will
- 37:06Speaker 1: scare the devil over any church. What are you teaching?
- 37:10Speaker 1: What is the content of the truth? You are using
- 37:12Speaker 1: to build believers? You see that because the information that
- 37:16Speaker 1: you bring will shape their understanding and eventually begin to
- 37:21Speaker 1: influence the systems. Jesus never sat in the House of Parliament,
- 37:28Speaker 1: yet he was almost These guys were afraid. They said,
- 37:31Speaker 1: there is something about this man, the content of his information.
- 37:39Speaker 1: Let's look at doctrine in the Ministry of the Apostles.
- 37:42Speaker 1: Are we still here? Asks chapter two and verse forty two.
- 37:49Speaker 1: Shika Tarasuke Brenda asks two forty two and They continued
- 37:55Speaker 1: steadfastly in the Apostles doctrine.
- 37:58Speaker 8: The Bible says, this is the early Church.
- 38:01Speaker 1: They continued in the apostles doctrine, and in fellowship, and
- 38:05Speaker 1: in breaking of bread, and in prayers. This is what
- 38:08Speaker 1: made them mighty.
- 38:09Speaker 8: This was the scope of.
- 38:11Speaker 1: Their spiritual activity. Every time they gathered, they listened to
- 38:15Speaker 1: a thorough exegesis of doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread, prayers, asks,
- 38:25Speaker 1: chapter five and verse twenty eight, Actscepter five and verse
- 38:32Speaker 1: twenty eight.
- 38:35Speaker 8: Now watch this.
- 38:37Speaker 1: When they caught the apostles, their concern was not just
- 38:42Speaker 1: the people, the human bodies. The threat to the government
- 38:46Speaker 1: of the day was the doctrine. This was what the
- 38:49Speaker 1: devil did not want saying. Did we not straightly command
- 38:53Speaker 1: you that you should not teach in this name? And behold,
- 38:59Speaker 1: you have few Jerusalem with your doctrine, modern branches, modern programs.
- 39:09Speaker 1: What was influencing the territory was doctrine. There is something
- 39:14Speaker 1: you are teaching that is making and Robert stop stealing.
- 39:18Speaker 1: There is something you are teaching that is transforming society.
- 39:22Speaker 1: How come the men in the territory are suddenly becoming
- 39:24Speaker 1: responsible corporately? There is something you can trust the growth
- 39:29Speaker 1: of society to the doctrine that feels that place, you
- 39:33Speaker 1: can trace the deprivation and the retrogression in society. Also,
- 39:38Speaker 1: it's an uncomfortable truth.
- 39:40Speaker 8: What is true.
- 39:41Speaker 1: The quality of the life of people within a territory,
- 39:45Speaker 1: among other factors, is a reflection of the quality of
- 39:49Speaker 1: the truths that the spiritual leaders within that territory communicate.
- 39:54Speaker 8: You see, Africa is a very spiritual continent.
- 39:57Speaker 1: On average, every week the average believer, including a non
- 40:02Speaker 1: serious believer, submages himself in some sort of spiritual training,
- 40:08Speaker 1: either a Sunday service. Please don't feel I'm not remember
- 40:13Speaker 1: that this is what we're talking as men of God.
- 40:15Speaker 1: Is that true. We're examining a few things, so this
- 40:17Speaker 1: is not This is not a call to sarcasm whatsoever.
- 40:20Speaker 1: We're just challenging ourselves to rise to higher dimensions. There
- 40:24Speaker 1: is a Sunday service, maybe a Tuesday service, a Wednesday service,
- 40:30Speaker 1: most likely a night vigil, some kind of spiritual activity
- 40:33Speaker 1: happening all week. That means if I hand pick a
- 40:36Speaker 1: believer who has been within a Christian circle for two, three,
- 40:40Speaker 1: four years, and I ask him basic questions about the
- 40:43Speaker 1: Christian faith, he should be able to rise in defense
- 40:46Speaker 1: of that truth or the wise. We must hold the
- 40:49Speaker 1: past too accountable. What is the content of your teaching?
- 40:53Speaker 1: Not necessarily the insincerity in character may bee a sincere person.
- 41:04Speaker 1: They have filled pot harkurt with your doctrine and intend
- 41:10Speaker 1: to bring this man's blood upon her head. Can you
- 41:13Speaker 1: imagine that? Romans, Chapter sixteen and verse seventeen. I want
- 41:18Speaker 1: you to see why the apostles were effective. The holy
- 41:23Speaker 1: spirit we have today is the same holy spirit they had.
- 41:27Speaker 1: The God they pray to is the same God we
- 41:29Speaker 1: pray to. But we're not seeing their results because there
- 41:31Speaker 1: is a missing link. The doctrine they communicated is largely
- 41:35Speaker 1: not the doctrine that we're communicating. And the emphasis that
- 41:40Speaker 1: they placed on doctrine, we might not be pressing that far.
- 41:47Speaker 4: Now.
- 41:48Speaker 8: I beseech you, brethren.
- 41:49Speaker 1: PAULI speaking mark them which caused divisions and offenses contrary
- 41:55Speaker 1: to the doctrine. I like Paul. He's not mentoring based
- 41:59Speaker 1: on opinions. He said, listen, listen. Everything you do should
- 42:03Speaker 1: be referenced to this doctrine. There are people who cause
- 42:07Speaker 1: offenses and division. How do we know that what they're
- 42:10Speaker 1: saying is divisive? With respect to the doctrine that has
- 42:14Speaker 1: been taught. It is based on doctrine. We can have
- 42:17Speaker 1: you audacity to tell someone you are right you are wrong.
- 42:21Speaker 1: It is based on doctrine. We can judge prophecy and
- 42:24Speaker 1: say it is true you came back from heaven. But
- 42:26Speaker 1: something is questionable about this encounter. You cannot just say
- 42:30Speaker 1: I don't like what you're saying. There has to be
- 42:32Speaker 1: a reference to your defense. The reference is doctrine. The
- 42:39Speaker 1: average believer is confused and cannot tell whether I think
- 42:42Speaker 1: it's right or wrong. You see that because that doctrine
- 42:47Speaker 1: a reference is not there. Let's look at two more scriptures. First,
- 42:57Speaker 1: Demotag chapter four and verse one. In fact, I think
- 43:08Speaker 1: Paul's Paul's Paul's Epistle to Timothy has about the largest
- 43:14Speaker 1: in the New Testament, now about the largest compendium of
- 43:18Speaker 1: that word doctrine, doctrine, doctrine, because he was mentoring his
- 43:22Speaker 1: son in the Gospel. Here's what for us. One says,
- 43:26Speaker 1: now the Spirit speak at expressly that in the latter
- 43:28Speaker 1: times some shall depart from the faith, the Bible says,
- 43:32Speaker 1: and give he to seb doucing spirits and doctrines of demons.
- 43:41Speaker 1: So The devil too has his mentorship system. He can
- 43:44Speaker 1: make you become something exact. There is a body of truth.
- 43:48Speaker 1: Whether you choose to serve God or Satan. It's the
- 43:51Speaker 1: same way you grow doctrine. There is something called the
- 43:57Speaker 1: doctrine of devils. Good person can teach the doctrine of devils.
- 44:03Speaker 1: You don't have to be bad or thick. You just
- 44:05Speaker 1: have to be ignorant. And there are many, many sincere
- 44:11Speaker 1: doctrines in the body of Christ that need to be
- 44:14Speaker 1: a detailed from the light of scripture, you seeing. There
- 44:18Speaker 1: are four principle ways. I wish we had time. There
- 44:22Speaker 1: are four principal ways the Bible recommends that we know God.
- 44:26Speaker 1: Knowing God is not a mystery. There are four biblical channels,
- 44:30Speaker 1: only four channels. If you ever want to know the
- 44:33Speaker 1: God of the Bible, there are only four channels the
- 44:36Speaker 1: Bible recommends. Number one is scripture. The first authorise channel
- 44:43Speaker 1: that can help anyone know God is Scripture. Are we together?
- 44:51Speaker 1: Scripture reveals the character of God. Scripture reveals his modus operandi,
- 44:56Speaker 1: So you know God. When you study Scripture, can meet
- 45:00Speaker 1: a believer who did not know anything about the Christian
- 45:03Speaker 1: faith and get that person saved, and hand over scripture
- 45:08Speaker 1: and teach that person's scripture, and he can grow in
- 45:10Speaker 1: the knowledge of God.
- 45:12Speaker 8: Scripture number one. Number two the names of God.
- 45:15Speaker 1: We know God by exploring the dimensions of Him captured
- 45:20Speaker 1: in his name. You wonder why he's called the God
- 45:25Speaker 1: of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ralpha, si Kenu. All of these
- 45:30Speaker 1: names were dimensions of Him. The moment the nation of
- 45:34Speaker 1: Israel saw that dimension revealed, they preserved it in a name,
- 45:38Speaker 1: so that every time their children wanted to lend that dimension,
- 45:41Speaker 1: they would draw that name from the archive of their
- 45:44Speaker 1: experience and said, look, we never knew that God could
- 45:47Speaker 1: move like this, but when we saw it, we said,
- 45:49Speaker 1: will not waste this experience. We have to archive it
- 45:52Speaker 1: for our children, so they saved it. You can use
- 45:55Speaker 1: the names of God to learn him. Number three.
- 46:00Speaker 8: The third way that we know God is through the
- 46:04Speaker 8: peasing Jesus, the Christ.
- 46:07Speaker 1: The Bible calls him the image of the invisible God,
- 46:11Speaker 1: calls him the word, the logos of God that has
- 46:14Speaker 1: been made flesh.
- 46:17Speaker 8: So I cannot God. When I studied Jesus.
- 46:21Speaker 1: I hope you know. Theologically speaking, were ministers of the
- 46:23Speaker 1: Gospel until Jesus came, nobody could accurately say they knew God.
- 46:30Speaker 1: There was a lot of haziness and confusion about God.
- 46:33Speaker 1: Even among the prophets, they credited both good and bad
- 46:37Speaker 1: to God. There was no standard, no reference. So one
- 46:40Speaker 1: of the assignments of Jesus was not just to come
- 46:42Speaker 1: and die. He came as a manuscript and a march
- 46:46Speaker 1: in script. He came so that we will use him
- 46:48Speaker 1: to start editing our ideas about God. Everything God said
- 46:54Speaker 1: Jesus manifested whatever you said God said that Jesus did
- 46:58Speaker 1: not do. You are in error. So your assignment is
- 47:01Speaker 1: to look on to him and begin to edit what
- 47:04Speaker 1: the prophets and the law and every other person said
- 47:07Speaker 1: about God. The things that superstition said about God. We compaid.
- 47:17Speaker 1: Jesus came as a revelation of the Father, so I
- 47:20Speaker 1: can look at Jesus. Are you saying why the Bible
- 47:23Speaker 1: was so detailed about his heathwork, Because it does not
- 47:26Speaker 1: want you to miss any information. Everything about his eathwork,
- 47:30Speaker 1: it was more than his story. It was God in action.
- 47:32Speaker 1: So he sayings, study, study how he treated children, Study
- 47:36Speaker 1: what he did on crusade grounds, what he did do
- 47:39Speaker 1: when he saw the sick. If it's true that God said,
- 47:42Speaker 1: I have loved you with a never lasting love. I
- 47:44Speaker 1: have drawn you with my loving kindness, we can only
- 47:48Speaker 1: verify if he's lying or not by looking at Jesus.
- 47:52Speaker 8: How far did Jesus go to prove the love of
- 47:54Speaker 8: the Father.
- 47:55Speaker 1: He died. Greater love had no man than this, than
- 47:59Speaker 1: a man laid down his life. So we know God
- 48:02Speaker 1: did not lie. Because Jesus proved he was true. All
- 48:07Speaker 1: authority in heaven and on earth has been given on
- 48:10Speaker 1: to me. How do we know God is not lying
- 48:12Speaker 1: by looking at Jesus. The last enemy that can be
- 48:15Speaker 1: destroyed in this eath remy is death. Whoever destroys death
- 48:20Speaker 1: by leaving this heath and coming back into it at will?
- 48:23Speaker 1: You say, there is a law nobody dies and comes
- 48:27Speaker 1: back by himself. It has to take someone in the
- 48:30Speaker 1: heath to call you in. But Jesus showed that God
- 48:34Speaker 1: was all powerful indeed by dying and calling himself back.
- 48:39Speaker 1: It was his entry back into the head that led
- 48:41Speaker 1: to some twenty four lifts up your heads, Oh ye gains.
- 48:46Speaker 8: The gates were surprised.
- 48:48Speaker 1: Why are you saying we should open nobody on it?
- 48:50Speaker 1: Is calling you. Where you were coming from heaven, a
- 48:53Speaker 1: prophet has called you, but now you are out of
- 48:56Speaker 1: the heath and we are not hearing anyone call you.
- 48:58Speaker 1: And he says, don't mistake just because a baby was called.
- 49:02Speaker 1: This man who is coming now is the King of Glory,
- 49:05Speaker 1: the Lord's strong and mighty, the Lord mighty.
- 49:10Speaker 8: In battle.
- 49:15Speaker 1: Away together. So you know God by looking onto Jesus.
- 49:21Speaker 1: If all about Jesus is that he just came and
- 49:24Speaker 1: died for seinners, you've missed a major part of why
- 49:27Speaker 1: he was here. His first assignment was to correct our
- 49:31Speaker 1: aberrated view about the Father. How many of you have
- 49:38Speaker 1: heard stories about people and you had all kinds of
- 49:41Speaker 1: ideas until you met them, or you met those who
- 49:44Speaker 1: were very close to them, and you felt so disappointed,
- 49:47Speaker 1: so broken, and you said, I'm sorry, God, forgive me.
- 49:51Speaker 1: I was told to seoh is not a good man.
- 49:53Speaker 1: Now look at this. Five of my children now have
- 49:57Speaker 1: jobs because of him. And you go back and you
- 50:00Speaker 1: keep repenting and say, God, forgive me. That's what Jesus
- 50:02Speaker 1: came to do. If you studied Jesus, you know you
- 50:06Speaker 1: are knowing God. When there is a lot of repentance
- 50:09Speaker 1: in your life, because you should find a lot of
- 50:11Speaker 1: gaps in the things you have blamed God about. Jesus,
- 50:18Speaker 1: when it was time to feed five thousand with five
- 50:23Speaker 1: love and two fish, he didn't said those who understood
- 50:26Speaker 1: or hurt me move one side.
- 50:28Speaker 8: He fed everyone.
- 50:30Speaker 1: So when the Bible says the increase of the etes
- 50:32Speaker 1: for all that even the king is fed.
- 50:34Speaker 8: By the increase in the field, it is true.
- 50:37Speaker 1: Jesus came as the logos of God, the word made flesh,
- 50:42Speaker 1: the logos. The word logos is the Greek word thoughts,
- 50:46Speaker 1: the intents of a man that desires to find expression
- 50:50Speaker 1: everything God was thinking Jesus was living. Next time someone
- 51:00Speaker 1: says I want to know you God, there's no mystery
- 51:02Speaker 1: about it. What many people means, I want to be
- 51:04Speaker 1: caught up in the realm of the spirit. You will
- 51:06Speaker 1: most likely meet familiar spirits. God's authorized channel is scripture.
- 51:12Speaker 1: If you cannot respect scripture, that you can see, it's
- 51:15Speaker 1: not an angel that is invisible that you can That's
- 51:17Speaker 1: the Lord. Remember. And then the last way we know
- 51:24Speaker 1: God is through your experience. In that order it is important,
- 51:32Speaker 1: but only the fourth your experience. Job said, I have
- 51:37Speaker 1: heard of you with the hearing of the areas. Now
- 51:40Speaker 1: my eyes have seen you experience. You can build a
- 51:45Speaker 1: track record about God by yourself. Oh, talk to our
- 51:50Speaker 1: mothers and they will tell you there is something about God.
- 51:53Speaker 1: They knew not by preaching. When the woman was about
- 51:58Speaker 1: to die because of our pregnancy, she called upon the
- 52:02Speaker 1: name of the Lord and rolled on the ground, and
- 52:04Speaker 1: that baby lived. So every time she sees another woman
- 52:07Speaker 1: who says, look, I'm about dying, she says, sit down.
- 52:09Speaker 8: Let me tell you something about God.
- 52:11Speaker 1: I didn't go to school, though, but there is a
- 52:13Speaker 1: song I raised in nineteen seventy five. Every time I
- 52:16Speaker 1: am in trouble when I raised this song. The nation
- 52:20Speaker 1: of Israel had songs that were like codes. When it
- 52:22Speaker 1: was clear that defeat was imminent. They didn't just sing
- 52:25Speaker 1: praise and worship. You are good and you're messy. If
- 52:29Speaker 1: they started singing that song against you, no matter how.
- 52:32Speaker 8: You were winning, it was a card for victory.
- 52:39Speaker 1: Please sit down. This is not even what we're teaching,
- 52:44Speaker 1: or remember what we're talking about doctrine. I only digress
- 52:47Speaker 1: because we are dealing with the issue of knowing God.
- 52:52Speaker 1: It's God helping us the knowledge of God. You want
- 52:57Speaker 1: to know God, the names of God, Jesus. Your experience
- 53:05Speaker 1: is impossible to pass through this and not know God. Allelujah.
- 53:17Speaker 1: So back to doctrine one, last scripture Hebrews thirteen and
- 53:20Speaker 1: verse nine. Hebrews thirteen and verse nine, the Bible says,
- 53:27Speaker 1: be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines, for
- 53:32Speaker 1: it is a good thing that the heart to be
- 53:34Speaker 1: established with grace, not with meats which have profited them
- 53:38Speaker 1: that have been occupied. Therein he's talking about several things.
- 53:41Speaker 1: Paul was largely correcting a lot of errors, a lot
- 53:45Speaker 1: of imbalances, and he began to teach them doctrine. Who
- 53:56Speaker 1: is a disciple. A disciple is one who accepts and
- 54:03Speaker 1: assists in spreading the.
- 54:06Speaker 8: Doctrines of scripture.
- 54:08Speaker 1: A disciple is one who accepts and helps in spreading
- 54:14Speaker 1: the doctrines of scripture. When we follow Christ, we follow
- 54:21Speaker 1: him because number one, we accept and we believe the truths.
- 54:25Speaker 1: Are we together? Yes?
- 54:28Speaker 8: And then number two we help in spreading it.
- 54:33Speaker 1: So when the Bible says in Matthew twenty eight, let's
- 54:36Speaker 1: look at it now, you will understand what the Bible
- 54:38Speaker 1: is saying. Matthew chapter twenty eight from verse eighteen. Here's
- 54:41Speaker 1: what Jesus said to us, Matthew twenty eight from verse eighteen.
- 54:45Speaker 1: And Jesus came and spoken to them, saying, all authority
- 54:49Speaker 1: the word power. There is the word exusia authority. All
- 54:52Speaker 1: authority is given onto me in heaven and in earth.
- 54:57Speaker 8: Nineteen. On the strength of this information, go ye therefore
- 55:02Speaker 8: and teach.
- 55:05Speaker 1: Are you seeing now he didn't just send us to preach.
- 55:08Speaker 1: To preach means to declare. To teach means to explain,
- 55:12Speaker 1: to guide, to mentor to bring into comprehension. That's what
- 55:16Speaker 1: it means to teach. Go ye and teach all nations.
- 55:21Speaker 1: All nations does not mean all countries all fields of endeavors.
- 55:28Speaker 1: Are we together now all of the mountains. Go there
- 55:32Speaker 1: and teach, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
- 55:36Speaker 1: the Son, and of the Holy Spirit twenty teaching them
- 55:42Speaker 1: to observe all things whatsoever. I have commanded you. And
- 55:47Speaker 1: whilst you are doing this, be assured that I'm with
- 55:50Speaker 1: you all way. Whilst you are doing this, you can
- 55:55Speaker 1: be sure that My divine presence is going with you,
- 55:58Speaker 1: even to the ends of the earth. Colosian Chapter one,
- 56:03Speaker 1: Paul speaking to the church in Colosse from verse twenty
- 56:06Speaker 1: eight and twenty nine, Paul the assignment of presenting everyone.
- 56:11Speaker 1: He says, whom we preach, warning every man and teaching
- 56:14Speaker 1: every man that in all wisdom we may present everyone
- 56:18Speaker 1: mature or complete or whole in Christ.
- 56:22Speaker 8: Jesus twenty nine.
- 56:23Speaker 1: It says, where on two I also label striving according
- 56:28Speaker 1: to his working, which work at me mightily. Paul said,
- 56:32Speaker 1: Look all my travels and everything you see me visiting
- 56:35Speaker 1: the church in this the church in that, correcting all
- 56:38Speaker 1: kinds of things, imbalances, impartitions, travels. All that I'm doing
- 56:43Speaker 1: is I am striving to see to it that the
- 56:47Speaker 1: Body of Christ and those committed to my care, that
- 56:51Speaker 1: I'm able to present them complete in Christ. If you're
- 56:56Speaker 1: still with me, please say amen. So the cause content
- 57:02Speaker 1: for the believer's education is called doctrine. Every believer that
- 57:08Speaker 1: comes under the influence of the doctrine of scripture will
- 57:12Speaker 1: become something exact, something predictable, regardless denomination, regardless the approach
- 57:19Speaker 1: to ministry. Now, we may not always agree in terms
- 57:23Speaker 1: of our modus operandi. We may not agree in terms
- 57:26Speaker 1: of our personalities here and there, but there are certain.
- 57:30Speaker 8: Truths that are called the foundational.
- 57:34Speaker 1: Pillers of the Christian faith. If you do not believe this,
- 57:38Speaker 1: you are not a Christian. If you do not teach it,
- 57:41Speaker 1: you are also not a Christian. There are certain things
- 57:49Speaker 1: common to all women, black, white, yellow, African, Spanish. There
- 57:56Speaker 1: are things common to men, regardless location, regardless territory. That's
- 58:01Speaker 1: how it is when we talk about unity. Unity is
- 58:06Speaker 1: not uniformity. No, we will never be the same verbatim.
- 58:15Speaker 1: Our experiences with God are levels of transformation. The systems
- 58:20Speaker 1: of mentorship that we're under will create those differences. But
- 58:26Speaker 1: regardless what the divide is, there are certain foundational pillars
- 58:32Speaker 1: of the Christian faith. Hebrews chapter six, sheilambracatosk brandy gabber. Therefore,
- 58:43Speaker 1: leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us
- 58:47Speaker 1: go on onto perfection, not laying again the foundation of
- 58:54Speaker 1: six of them number one, repentance from deadworks, number two,
- 58:58Speaker 1: faith towards God verse two, number three, the doctrine of baptisms.
- 59:03Speaker 8: Number four, of laying on of hands, number five.
- 59:07Speaker 1: The resurrection of the dead, number six, eternal judgment, and
- 59:12Speaker 1: he praises serious prayer and verse three. And this way
- 59:15Speaker 1: will do if God permits. There are foundational pillars. Please
- 59:20Speaker 1: listen very carefully. You see. Believers do not just grow
- 59:26Speaker 1: because truth is taught. Truth has to be methodically arranged,
- 59:31Speaker 1: like a building, to be able to mature. The sames.
- 59:34Speaker 1: Are we together now? Please don't feel bad, don't feel insulted.
- 59:38Speaker 1: I apologize if you do so. But then imagine with me,
- 59:41Speaker 1: for instance, that someone just gets saved completely, not a Christian,
- 59:46Speaker 1: and the first message he hears is on prosperity. You see,
- 59:50Speaker 1: chances are that that person's Christian experience will be wrecked
- 59:54Speaker 1: into pieces because he's not learned how to crucify the flesh.
- 59:58Speaker 8: He's not built character.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: Are we together now exposing that person to that body
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: of knowledge?
- 1:00:05Speaker 8: The truth is?
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: It is truth, but it to kill him. It's not
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: sequentially arranged. He's not even equipped for the attacks that
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: come by reason of that level of blessing. We must
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: not just build believer us. We must build believe us methodically,
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: line upon line, truth upon truth. Tomorrow is Sunday. Millions
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: of pulpits around the world will be filled with men
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: and women, passionate men and women who will be teaching.
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: Can we begin to make these adjustments by focusing on doctrine.
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: What we largely do is just a topical exegesis of
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: the world, and for many people, I understand how burdens
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: on it can be to preach and come up with messages.
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: So sometimes you sit and say, Ah, what have I
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: not preached for a long time in dichurch? I'm tired
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: right now? I have three services. Let's try faith, all right,
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: So you listen to a message or two, just go online,
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: get one or two scriptures, put things together. And you know,
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: the fearful thing about the grace of God is when
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: you stand up here to look like you've been studying
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: since last year, because you are under the influence of
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: that grace. That grace can cover shame in a tremendous way,
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: but it's not an endorsement of your current state.
- 1:01:26Speaker 8: You can stand and preach something off script completely.
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: It may even be one of the most powerful messages
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: you would have preached that year, and you go back
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: repenting before God and say, Lord, thank you for covering
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: for me me and you will know that I don't
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: have an idea of what happened on this stage. Come on,
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: past us, do you know the reason why you fear teaching?
- 1:01:55Speaker 8: On the altar.
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: Do you know the reason why you feel emotionally bullied
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: by another man because you are teaching opinions. When you
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: are teaching doctrine, the truths don't come from you. It
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: is the explanation and the exegesis of it that comes
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: from you. So there is no need to fear. The
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: body of truth is exact. You finish and start again.
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: Listen when it has to do with the knowledge of God.
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: Our exploring God is in finite, even in heaven, will
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: keep learning him. But as far as the excelling of
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: a believer on earth is concerned, the body of truth
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: are located for our growth and maturity is finite. You
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: can cover the curriculum and start again and not feel
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: guilty for going back. It's not that you don't have
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: new messages. So the pressure is that, Ah, let my
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: members not say. There are people teaching Volume seven, Part one,
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: Volume eight, Part five, and you are here. It seems
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: like you are struggling with something. So that pressure pushes
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: us into saying, look, what is the new thing? I
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: have not said, save yourself that stress. There is an
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: exact body of truth piles and provided that is what
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: you are teaching no matter how simple.
- 1:03:06Speaker 8: Find rest.
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: Every other thing ganish on. It is just the psychological progress,
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: the intelligence and all of that. But at the basic level,
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: everyone should be able to match up believers. Once you
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: can understand and you can teach, the.
- 1:03:25Speaker 8: Cost content is given to you already doctrine. So there
- 1:03:32Speaker 8: is no excuse.
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: There's no such thing as I don't have the gift
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: of teaching. I'm not really a teacher. You know. These
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: guys are the ones who teach. And then because of that,
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: we said, you know what, don't worry, I even want
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: to teach. Wortship team, Come raise a powerful song, let's
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: start praying, and then no, no, no, no, no, no,
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: no no no. There are a few ministers around the world,
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: this nation and across Africa. They're teaching about the most
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: simple ways, sometimes unknowingly simple. But you look at the
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: quality of men that they have raised. Do you know why,
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: Because the content of their teaching is true. They are
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: methodical about it. Whether the lecturer is in Uni Laurin,
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: whether it's a Eurobi lecturer, whether it's an Ebo lecturer,
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: South South lecturer in Northern lecturer. The person's accent is
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: level of understanding, et cetera. It's not too much to
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: alter the curriculum, so the same students can be taught
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: by an EBO lecturer, a white man coming from the US,
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: a visiting professor from the UK, and then people within
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: that region. And regardless the students, you are sure that
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: after four or five years, you're going to graduate a
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: predictable kind of people. Their accents may differ their abilities
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: to explain their lecturers, respectfully speaking, who are quite on
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: the conservative side, they can talk as if they're talking
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: to themselves. Others are very engaging and happy. Those things
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: that just add their advantages. Once the truth is there,
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: the students will learn and their results who show they
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: have landed find rest, men of God, the pressure that
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: we are putting on ourselves to attain onto certain levels.
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: It is true that some of these gifts and some
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: of these engracings come with a level of charismatism around it.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: I confess. So once these kinds of things happen, there
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: is that there is that drive to want to be celebrated.
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: I understand. But find rest tomorrow. Go on your pulpit
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: and teach doctrine with power, Teach it with truth, teach
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: it with conviction. When I was in the seminary, when
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: I was in the Anglican semi Canary, we had something
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: called the Apostle's creed, the apostles creed. Now I'm not
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: I know that I'm speaking to people across different denominations,
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: but I wish there was a way you could find
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: for me and project what we call the apostles creed
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: on the screen. If you can find that thing media,
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: A promise to give you a big hug. That for me,
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: represents about the most accurate or at least commendably accurate
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: presentation of the believer's creed.
- 1:06:43Speaker 8: This is a summary of what we stand for. This
- 1:06:47Speaker 8: is who a Christian is.
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: It's important we know that some of you here are
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: owners or directors or senior executives around companies, and you
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: have all kinds of creeds. Is that true that you
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: compel your staff to learn to indoctrinate them to understand
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: why they're here, Whether I say creed towards efficiency, a
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: creed towards excellence, team spirit, whatever it is, please find
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: it from me. If you can apologize for putting you
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: under this inconvenience. What is important? So we're dealing with
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: doctrine and discipleship. We are not in ministry truly, if
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: we are not teaching doctrine. Do the believers under your care?
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: Are they still in doubt that Jesus Christ is God?
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: Do they know that? Hold on before we begin to
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: teach all of the mysteries of this and that just
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: came down live that we're going there. Do our members
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: know that Jesus is Lord? Do they understand redemption? Can
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: we random pick one member and bring him up stage
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: and say, give us your understanding about the substitutionary sacrifice
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: of Christ, which is the foundation you will be amassed?
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: And how many of our workers, respectfully speaking Dickens and
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: even some of us men of God, we may not
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: be able to articulate redemption? How about prayer? How about faith?
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: The Bible says in this kingdom that just leaves by
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: his faith? How about the body of Christ? How about resurrection?
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: Do our members know that Jesus is coming back? Do
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: they know the benefit of being saved? The reason why
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: they are hardly altered calls on our pool pity. It
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: is not because we're bad, is because we ourselves need
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: a reorientation about the value. The Bible says there is
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: no orther name given on too man under heaven, by
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: which we must be saved. Are wey together? What of
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit? Do our members understand the Holy Spirit?
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: Do they understand the priesthood minister of a believer? Do
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: they understand the responsibility that makes for kingdom advance? Thank you,
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: thank you. Let's give these people a big, big God
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: bless you, ladies and gentlemen. That right there is a
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: very serious creed. I hope I'm able to see everything
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: as clear as I want to. But let me attempt
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: to read it. Am I boring you? This is a
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: pastor's conference. I know importation is coming, but you just
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: pay attention. The oil is useless when there is no vessel.
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: Remember it is the vessel that gives credence to the oil.
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, It says the
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: maker of heaven and earth.
- 1:10:01Speaker 8: Is that true?
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: And Jesus Christ his only son, our Lord?
- 1:10:07Speaker 8: That is true?
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: But I may have did that now because he is
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: not the only son. Again, he was the only son,
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: but now he's the first of we the begotten. You
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: see that. Now he's not God's only son. Now he
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: was his only son, but now he's called many sons
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: into glory. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit. How
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: shall these things be? Seeing that you know not a man,
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: it says, the power of the highest shall overshadow you, Oh, beautiful,
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: thank you, born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered on
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: the Apponto's pilot was crucified dead.
- 1:10:51Speaker 8: It is important you know he was crucified. He did
- 1:10:53Speaker 8: not just die. If he just died, he would not have.
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: Been a cause because the law says costes every man
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: who hands on it. If he died on the ground,
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: he would be a dead man. He needed to die
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: on the tree. So the crucifixion of Jesus is a major.
- 1:11:07Speaker 8: Aspect of the Christian life.
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: He died.
- 1:11:14Speaker 8: You have to believe he died.
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: If he did not die, then there is no way
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: he would have collected the keys that we gave Adam
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: revelations one. I was here that was dead, and now
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: is a life, and I hold the keys. It was
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: his dead that gave him the entrance. When sinners die,
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: where do they go to? So the only way he
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: had to go to Hell, being a righteous man, was
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: to become sin so that if he died, he would
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: now give him the entrance to go to the place
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: of the dead. Are we together? Now?
- 1:11:48Speaker 8: He died as you are me what would have been
- 1:11:50Speaker 8: a future?
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: So he went there and when he met Setan, the
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: Bible tells us Paul was teaching us the drama that happened. Then, hey,
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: this that when he got to Hell. My goodness, did
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: you know that Satan did not even understand the strategy
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: when he died, all of a sudden, celebration was to
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: start in Hell. And then they see this man, Jesus
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: Christ went to Hell without the assistance of the Holygos.
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: I hope you know that he went as man in
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: the strength of man. That's what made him the second Idam.
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: He went there and the Bible says all the demons
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: and principalities were on him, forcing him to bow.
- 1:12:31Speaker 8: What is in bowing acknowledging lordship?
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: Because Jesus being the express image of the Father the
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: word are we blessed? This is what makes us different
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: from different religions. There are many religions that teach what
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: we teach to This is the dividing line. Do you
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: know why we need to restore doctrine to the body
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: of Christ or otherwise? After many years of laboring, who
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: will not know we say Christian again, and the devil
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: is our next part. He will keep bringing sudo Christian
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: expressions until we lose the conscience, already happening to many people.
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: So he went and when the legal claims of justice
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: was satisfied, the Bible says, he made a public show
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: of them, triumphing over them in it.
- 1:13:24Speaker 8: And he did not just stop there. He now went
- 1:13:26Speaker 8: to Satan and he said, give me the keys. What keys?
- 1:13:30Speaker 8: The keys that came from Adam through.
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: Eve to him. Are you seeing that now? And when
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: he collected the keys, the Bible tells us that they
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: were saying, sue were then Abraham's bosom. I don't want
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: to bring any controversy about your Bible people, you know.
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: And Apostle Peter told us that he went there and
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: preached to them. When he preached to them, he gave
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: them a chance to believe. When they believed, he opened
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: the prison, he said, follow me when he resurrected. It's
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: in your bible. He was the first begotten. And then
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: other sins came through the streets of Jerusalem. They saw them.
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: Then him says, up from the grave he arose with
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: the mighty triumph or his force. He arose the victor
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: from the dark domain, and he lives forever with his
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: saints to reign.
- 1:14:24Speaker 8: I know it's old school, but not every old school
- 1:14:27Speaker 8: is old.
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: Are we blessed? So when he resurrected, a woman came
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: and met him. This solves the problem once and for all.
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: Should women be in ministry? The first person to see
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: Christ resurrected was a woman, He says, Go and tell Jesus,
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: go and do ministry. Go and tell he's the one
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: who instructed her. Go and tell There is a protocol
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: to it, though the Bible always says they do it
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: in subjection. But to negate now when it has to
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: do it. The ministry of the world, there is neither
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: male nor female. There's neither jew nor gentile. It's one
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: new man in Christ. Are we blessed?
- 1:15:29Speaker 4: Now?
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: Please pay attention. These are the truths that give you
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: a defense system against Satan. The Bible says, no weapon fashioned.
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: Do you know what it means to fashion? To fashion
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: means to write a summary of your strengths and your weaknesses,
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: and build an arsenal from your weakness. So when the
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: devil wants to attack, it does not just come he
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: fashions the weapon. What do you not know?
- 1:15:53Speaker 8: What is not known in your church? Oh you don't
- 1:15:55Speaker 8: know this. You don't know this. Build a weapon.
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: After this weakness?
- 1:16:00Speaker 8: No, whep on fashioned.
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: Are we together? When Jesus Christ resurrected, Listen to me,
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: the Bible says, he was raised top for our justification.
- 1:16:16Speaker 8: What does it mean to be justified? To be declared
- 1:16:18Speaker 8: not guilty?
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: But his resurrection was not all there was. If he was,
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: if he resurrected and he stopped, there were saved from
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: symbol were still in trouble because he needed to go
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: to heaven to perform his high priestly duty. Remember he said, no,
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: don't touch me, don't corrupt the program. I need to
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: ascend to heaven. So he went there both as the
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: lamp and as the high priest. The Bible tells us
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: because according to the Jewish tradition, the age of the
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: lamp determines the validity of the atonement. So for it
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: to be an eternal atonement, the ageless lamp, he now
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: became the lamp. He used his own age. Now, so
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: for you to know how long the a torment is
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: to know the age of the lamb.
- 1:17:03Speaker 8: That died.
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: You see that now. And when he was done, a
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: coronation service was held for him in heaven. The Lord
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: said to my Lord, sit down at my right hand.
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: That was a coronation service. Philippians, Chapter two, from verse five.
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: Permit this mind to be in you, the Bible says,
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: which was also in Christ Jesus, who although being God,
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: did not considered robbery this and that, but that he
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: died the death on the cross. And the Bible says,
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: wherefore by reason of this God had so highly exalted him.
- 1:17:44Speaker 8: And giving him a name. The name is an office.
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: He gave him an office, and that office was exalted
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: above every other name that at the mension of that name.
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: Every knee listen, and if you don't know this, your
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: members will not be powerful in Jesus name. In Jesus name.
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: It's not what you are saying. It's the understanding that
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: supports that activity that.
- 1:18:09Speaker 8: Releases the power.
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: Please let me have four people, just come, let me
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: use you for any four gentlemen, come watch this. Just
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: stand here, look at this. Everybody, do you know what
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: Jesus did? Just stand facing me. Thank you, Thank you, sirs.
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: Imagine that I am a PhD older but the limitation
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: is that I have PhD alone. Are we together? And
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: then my assignment is to make all these guys PhD holders.
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: But they don't have the strength to go through that system.
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: So what I did was I gave up my PhD.
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: I went back to noursry school. Remember I always had it.
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: I went back to nursry school, and then I just
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: told them follow me closely. I started come, guys. And
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: then when I now got to Master's Trust, when I
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: was going to write the PhD exam, I said, hold on,
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: before you give me that exam, guys, everything I'm going
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: to be doing is for us. I changed the name
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: from me to us. Now I wrote that exam. The
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: examiner did not even know what was happening. As soon
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: as I got the PhD, PhD appeared on all of them,
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: and I took them here come. I took them back
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: to where I originally was. So you will ask, so
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: you had PhD, why did you leave it and get
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: it again? Because of these guys. I had it alone,
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: but I didn't want to have it alone. That's what
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: Jesus did. Everything he now has he always had, but
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: the question is alone. So he came back cave up
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: everything and started afresh, this time.
- 1:19:53Speaker 8: Around with you in covenant. This is what Paul understood.
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: It says, we are being raised up, and we are
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: be made to skip back where he always was, but
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: now together with him above far above thrones, dominions every
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: name that is named, not only in this world, but
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: in the world to call this is the gospel. Thank you.
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: If you do not understand this, it didn't make sense
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: for Jesus to leave the glory he had with the
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: Father come back and get it back. Why do a
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: coronation service? Was he not always Lord alone? This is
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: where the love of the Father is revealed. Please sit down,
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: What then, is the Gospel of salvation?
- 1:20:49Speaker 8: Let me tell you.
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: The Gospel of Salvation is a revelation of the Father's
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: love revealed in and through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus's son,
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: and being the zenith the object of that love, alongside creation.
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: The law is that whosoever believes in him will not perish,
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: but have the way. It's called not just eternal life.
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: Everybody has eternal life. What we're giving is not eternal life.
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: It was an error in translation. Eternal life means life
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: without end. Everybody keeps living even after this world. When
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: you preach, you don't ask people will use en eitality.
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: The question is location. They will spend eternity. Let's finish
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: our Apostle's creed. Come we have it again. The Bible says,
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: he's sated at the right hand of the Father. From
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church.
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: The word Catholic dea does not necessarily mean Roman Catholic.
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: It means the Universal Church. If you don't believe the
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: Body of Christ, you will never have balance in your life.
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: There are four encounters you must have to be a
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: balanced believer a balanced minister. One the encounter with the
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: Son of God. Two the encounter with the Office and
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: the person of the Holy Spirit. Three the encounter with
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: the World of God. For the encounter with the Body
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: of Christ. I believe in the Body of Christ. I
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: believe in the communion of the Saints. I believe in
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: the forgiveness of sins. I believe in the resurrection of
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: the Body. I believe in the everlasting life. This for
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: me is a very fair representation of the believer's creed.
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: There are many other expressions of it across different ministries.
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: But I'm saying that we need to return back to
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: doctrine and discipleship. Don't just ordain people because they have
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: stayed long in church and you say just keep watching,
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: prepare for the next because of course I know that
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: we need more people. We need to send more laborers,
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: but we have to be careful. This is the reason
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: why we continue to send people who have not been
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: worked on on the spirit, and after one two years,
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: they keep causing off pain because they carry their flesh
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: and their limitation and they now imped the work that
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: you've invested so much in Allelujah. We have to pray.
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: We've not even done church growth. I promised us that
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: we do church growth. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that we
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: may have that time. But can I just run through
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: four keys to church growth? Please be patient. I know
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: that we have serviced many of us. Need to go
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: and prepare.
- 1:23:51Speaker 8: The key to church growth is found in March chapter one.
- 1:23:55Speaker 8: March chapter one.
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: Now they're different, they're different perspectives when it has to
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: do with church growth. Now that we understand that we
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: should focus on the exegesis of doctrine. Our experiences and
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: our personalized dealings can only just be support systems. But
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: we must return to the doctrine of scripture that builds,
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: that matures, that makes Mark chapter one. Let's begin our
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: reading from verse twenty one. Please mark chapter one and
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: verse twenty one. We're learning the principles of church growth
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: by studying the ministry of Jesus himself. Be patient as
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: we read. Ready, the Bible says, and they went into Kapernaum,
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: and straightway on the Sabbath day, he entered into the synagogue.
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: Help me, and so keep that in place. We're studying Jesus.
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: Now he entered the synagogue, and the Bible tells us
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: what he did there. He taught we see teaching as
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: part of the key next verse, and they were astonished
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: at his doctrine.
- 1:25:02Speaker 8: So we know what he taught. What did he teach doctrine?
- 1:25:05Speaker 8: Pay attention. Were piecing together the keys that make for
- 1:25:09Speaker 8: church growth.
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: Irrefutable keys that will work for anyone, regardless ministry, regardless
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: what dimension of the five fold you're involved with. The
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: Bible says, for he taught them as one that had authority,
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: and not as the scribes. Next verse, please, the Bible says,
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: And there wasn't their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit.
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: Take notes. Now this is church, and the Bible says.
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: And he cried out, saying, let us alone, What have
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth. Are thou
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art,
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: the Holy One of God. Jesus rebuked him, saying, hold
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: your peace and come out of him. So we see
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: Jesus casting out demons twenty six. And when theon clean
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: spirit had torn him and cried with a loud voice,
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: he came out of him as a result, the Bible says,
- 1:26:10Speaker 1: and they were all amazed.
- 1:26:12Speaker 8: How many were amazed. Please talk to me.
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: There are certain things that, when they happen on earth,
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: men can never commonize them. It is not given to
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: men to trivialize certain manifestations of the power of God.
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: It will always compel people to know that God is
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: at work in a place. Follow carefully. They were astonished
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: among themselves, saying, what thing is this? What new doctrine
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: is this? For with authority commanded, he even the on
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: clean spirits, and they do obey him. Take note we
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: studying Jesus. Now what happened? Immediately, please look or believers.
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout the region round
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: about Galilee.
- 1:27:00Speaker 8: So here is a man who came in as an individual,
- 1:27:02Speaker 8: into a temple.
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: He did certain things, and by the next day the
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: whole city is talking about him.
- 1:27:09Speaker 8: We're talking of growth here, the principles and forth with.
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: When they were come out of the synagogue, he entered
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: John thirty and Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever,
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: and Anon they take him, uh huh. And he came
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: and took her by the hand and lifted her up,
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: and immediately the fever left, and she minished that onto them.
- 1:27:38Speaker 8: Now you watch this.
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: The difference between this miracle and the one that happens
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: in a crusade ground is that this is happening among
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: church walkers were examining the key.
- 1:27:49Speaker 8: To church growth.
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: It is easy to preach in a crusade and have
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: wheelchairs stand up, and your workers are saying, we've not experienced.
- 1:27:56Speaker 8: This in ourselves.
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: He came to Peter's house and the same part I
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: worked there. Do you know what it means for your
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: workforce to believe in you, to know that this anointing
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: does not just workforce strangers. This grace also works here.
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: It is on the strength of their conviction. Everyone who comes,
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: he knows that you're not just acting. That is true,
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: And that evening when the sun did set, hallne lujah,
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: they brought onto him. Don't ask people to come find
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: out whether you can do something about what they're coming with.
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: They brought onto him. Would you love members like this?
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: Brothers and sisters, These are the kind of members who
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: are calling. Do you love members like this? Lord? I
- 1:28:44Speaker 1: want increased Get ready for these people. These are the
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: kinds of people coming. Are we ready? Number one? All
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: that were diseased? Number two, all that were possessed with devils.
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: Don't think God is just going to send made people.
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: Oh no, you want increase. You must be ready for work.
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: These were the people who came to Jesus thirty three
- 1:29:09Speaker 1: and the city hallelujah. You want the city to be gathered.
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: Let me describe how the city looks for you. There
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: are a few intelligent people. There are few wealthy people, and.
- 1:29:19Speaker 9: Many sick people, and many broke people, and many confused people,
- 1:29:25Speaker 9: and many angry people, and many jealous people, and many
- 1:29:30Speaker 9: possess people.
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: And the Bible mandates that you welcome them. Could there
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: be a reason why increase is not coming? It's an
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: act of God's messy and warning to you, you really
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: want this? Are you prepared? Thirty four? Look Jesus, now
- 1:29:53Speaker 1: he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and
- 1:29:56Speaker 1: cast out many devils and suffered not the death I
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: was to speak, because they knew him, be patient with me.
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: Were almost there, the Bible says, and the impact of
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: all those people were so much in the morning, What
- 1:30:11Speaker 1: a man, How would you finish such respectacular crusade and
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: have the gods to go back and leave people.
- 1:30:18Speaker 8: And pray, I'll show you the secret to church growth.
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: Can you enjoy such fame and such glamor a few
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: hours earlier and have the audacity to go away from
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: all the press men and leave everybody and say, I'm
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: going back to where the power came from. I wish
- 1:30:38Speaker 1: we had time to work these things. I'm just summarizing
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: the Bible says. And in the morning, rising up a
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: great while before day, he went out and departed into
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: a solity, praise a world that loves to be celebrated,
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: to be seen. Will you have that time when people
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: come for a crusade, ground a crusade, and there are
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: wheelchairs crouches, will you still be able to go back
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: and say, Lord, your boy is still here. I'm not confused.
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: You use me, but I'm still here again. That is
- 1:31:09Speaker 1: sick and Simon, and all day that were with him
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: followed him. When you have results, people would do what
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: you do. And when they had found him, they said,
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: unto him, may this be your testimony? All men, you've
- 1:31:30Speaker 1: heard me say it. There are things when you carry
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: only the rich look for you. There are things when
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: you carry only the poor look for you. There are
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: things when you carry only the educated look for you.
- 1:31:42Speaker 8: There are things when you carry only young people look
- 1:31:45Speaker 8: for you.
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: There are things you carry only the older people look
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: for you. But there are graces when you can get
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: in the.
- 1:31:51Speaker 8: Place of prayer.
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: All men, all men, including your partners, all men, including
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: your health, including your lieutenants, all men, including destiny helpers,
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: all men seek for thee.
- 1:32:09Speaker 8: A few more verses and were done, and he said,
- 1:32:12Speaker 8: unto them.
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: Let us go into the next towns that I may
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: preach there also, so we see preaching. For therefore came
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: I fourth next verse he preached in their synagogues throughout
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: all Galilee, and again we see him repeating it.
- 1:32:30Speaker 8: He casted out devils, uh huh.
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: And there came a leperd to him, beseeching him and
- 1:32:37Speaker 1: kneeling down before him, saying, unto him, if thou.
- 1:32:40Speaker 8: Willst thou can make me clean, read on, please, the
- 1:32:43Speaker 8: Bible says.
- 1:32:43Speaker 1: And Jesus moved with compassion, put forth his hand and
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: touched him, and said to him, I will be thou
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: clean next verse. And as soon as he had spoken,
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: And straightly charged him, and forthwith sent him away forty
- 1:33:05Speaker 1: four and said unto him, say that thou, saying nothing
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: to any man but God, die way, show yourself to
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: the priest, offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded,
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: and for a testimony. That man was too grateful to
- 1:33:19Speaker 1: be silent. Next verse, But he went about, if it
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: is a genuine miracle, not even your humility will stop
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: people from letting the city know. Jesus begged this man
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: and said, look, I know what the crowds would do.
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: But the man was too grateful. He began to publish
- 1:33:38Speaker 1: it much and to blaze abrought the matter inso much
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city
- 1:33:47Speaker 1: was worth without in the desert place. And they came
- 1:33:50Speaker 1: to him from every quarter.
- 1:33:53Speaker 8: In the name of Jesus Christ.
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: From today, by the power of the Holy Spirit, from
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: all over this city, everywhere, people must come to to
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: hear the counsel of the Lord in your life. I
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: call them forth in Jesus' name. Listen down church growth.
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: Jesus preach the Gospel. Jesus taught scripture, He taught the Word.
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: Jesus performed there. He allowed for extra ordinary manifestations of miracles, signs, wonders,
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: including the casting out of devils, the healing of the sick.
- 1:34:38Speaker 1: Jesus use the power and the principles of the Kingdom
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: alongside the prophetic to provide supernatural solutions to the needs
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: of men.
- 1:34:50Speaker 8: Whoever does this, it is impossible to be alone.
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: Now you preach the Gospel, you teach the Word and
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: accurate exegesis of scripture. Then you allow for the unusual
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: manifestation of miracles. Science and wonders. Let the sick be healed,
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: let the oppressed be delivered. But people are not only
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: sick and oppressed. You will need to engage the principles
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: of the world and the power of the prophetic to
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: provide supernatural solutions to the need of men.
- 1:35:25Speaker 8: This was the template Jesus gave us.
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: I know that there are books about church growth, and
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: I show my profound respect, But believe me with all humility,
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: the man standing before you has experienced the messy of God.
- 1:35:38Speaker 8: On that wise, I'm not speaking in ignorance.
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: I know what it means to experience a city, come
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: to hear the counsel of the Lord upon your life.
- 1:35:48Speaker 8: There is no such thing as I was destined to
- 1:35:51Speaker 8: be small.
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: No. Our call is say Hi calling, and it s
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: a noble call. Are we together now? Within a few
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: minutes that we have, We're going to pray, and I
- 1:36:10Speaker 1: trust God that something from heaven will come upon us.
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: We have come as several men and women of God.
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: Some of you have served in the Kingdom for a
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: very long time. We have fathers of faith here, veterans
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: of the Gospel, who have spent decades lifting up the
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: name of Jesus. I saw so many people outside, so
- 1:36:30Speaker 1: many inside. There are so many following from every nation.
- 1:36:36Speaker 1: And I know that you have come to hear, but
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: you have also come to receive. I wish I had
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: time to teach on the supernatural ministry, because there is
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: nobody who is called to do ministry ordinarily. No, it's
- 1:36:58Speaker 1: like saying you want to light a match box, you
- 1:37:01Speaker 1: want to like matches with water. No, you can't like
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: matches by robbing the match box on water.
- 1:37:09Speaker 8: It would not work.
- 1:37:11Speaker 6: Is that true?
- 1:37:12Speaker 8: So saying my own ministries are not native ministry, it's
- 1:37:15Speaker 8: not so.
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: The gospel is the power of God. Even onto salvation,
- 1:37:19Speaker 1: then needs to be miracles, science and wonders. It is
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: true that not all of us may operate at the
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: same frequency, but it's important that were committed to teaching
- 1:37:31Speaker 1: the gospel, preaching the gospel, clearing what Jesus has done
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: to the end that man be saved.
- 1:37:38Speaker 8: Then we teach the world.
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: We teach scriptures in a methodical and intelligent, life applicable
- 1:37:46Speaker 1: manner that will cause all an sundry to listen, and
- 1:37:50Speaker 1: you can find the point of action from your gospel.
- 1:37:53Speaker 8: They can take that truth and by the next day
- 1:37:56Speaker 8: they are willing to apply it and then to see
- 1:37:58Speaker 8: it work. No body leaves what works.
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: But in all your teaching and preaching, you must know
- 1:38:04Speaker 1: that there is a dimension of the supernatural that must
- 1:38:07Speaker 1: be captured in your ministry. Science and wonders are powerful.
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: They let men know that God is with you. They
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: let men know that God is alive. Miracles, healings, deliverances.
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: But more than that, people need to experience supernatural solutions.
- 1:38:28Speaker 8: This is where the value of a man of God is.
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: Most times society frowns, administers as though were news, and
- 1:38:34Speaker 1: so civilization. We are valuable. Our value is spiritual in context.
- 1:38:39Speaker 1: Number one, we are connecting people to faith. Number two,
- 1:38:42Speaker 1: we are bringing ideas that a reference from scripture that
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: help to build their understanding, build the moral the moral
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: fabric of society, and then to help people achieve results.
- 1:38:56Speaker 8: The key to fulfillment is progress.
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: People must know that their lives are finding meanings while
- 1:39:02Speaker 1: they live, and the Church is that bridge of hope.
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: And then we stand in partnership with the Holy Spirit
- 1:39:08Speaker 1: to provide supernatural solutions to the needs of men. That
- 1:39:13Speaker 1: is value, deserving of a reward, deserving of honor. So
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: you're a man of God. You have to stand tall.
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: Do not allow society and the context of culture and
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: the start to squore bully you into thinking you are
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: just a newsance, a weekend neuisance to live in. Shut
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: down the church for one year and see what becomes
- 1:39:37Speaker 1: of society. Where will the power come from? Where will
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: the intercession come from? Where will the counsel and the
- 1:39:45Speaker 1: guidance come from. When will the building and the maturing
- 1:39:50Speaker 1: come from? We are valuable allwise no wonder. He calls
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: us the salt of the earth. He calls us the
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: light of the world. He says, where a city that
- 1:39:59Speaker 1: is set on a heel.
- 1:40:01Speaker 8: Neither do men light a lamp and put it under
- 1:40:04Speaker 8: a bushel.
- 1:40:06Speaker 1: But right now, for tonight, we have to stop here
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: and pray that something from Heaven comes upon us. We
- 1:40:14Speaker 1: took our time to cry a cry of repentance in
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: the morning, for purging, for cleansing, so that God will
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: redirect our minds. Can I tell you this, I believe
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: with all my heart that there are some of you.
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: What you are doing now compared to what you'll be
- 1:40:28Speaker 1: doing from now with jose rehearsal. By the time the
- 1:40:30Speaker 1: power of God comes upon you. You will do ministry
- 1:40:34Speaker 1: in a way that will bring glory to the name
- 1:40:36Speaker 1: of the Lord, and will bring honor to you the vessel.
- 1:40:43Speaker 1: There is no limits to how far we can go
- 1:40:45Speaker 1: in Christ. But you are only a blessing. Not just
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: when men come, but when they live with joy. Jesus said,
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: do not leave them to go hungry. Who else can
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: feed them? They said, no, no, no, no, we cannot
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: afford this. And they brought five love and two turned
- 1:41:01Speaker 1: it and fed all of them. Simon, but Jonah, do
- 1:41:04Speaker 1: you love me more than this? Prove that you love
- 1:41:07Speaker 1: me by feeding my sheep and feeding my lamb. By
- 1:41:12Speaker 1: the time weak people come to your church, and one month,
- 1:41:16Speaker 1: just one month, under your mentorship, the kind and the
- 1:41:20Speaker 1: quality of spiritual information that you communicate back top by
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit. They return with
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: strange testimonies, a family that no door has opened for
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: for fifteen years. The meander into your church just on
- 1:41:34Speaker 1: a week, a midweek service, just five minutes prayer. They
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: return back, and all those begin to open as door.
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: They were programmed. They will say, like that woman, come
- 1:41:45Speaker 1: see a man, Come see a man. Let me tell
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: you this, Do not downplay the power of personal testimony.
- 1:41:54Speaker 1: It's one thing to bring an obituary testifier that nobody
- 1:41:57Speaker 1: knows when a popular man in protacod comes under the
- 1:42:01Speaker 1: influence of the power of God, fire falls from heaven
- 1:42:05Speaker 1: during your crusade ground, and that person becomes your chief usher.
- 1:42:12Speaker 1: Everybody knew him when he was lying down. Now he's
- 1:42:15Speaker 1: the chief usher. How dare the devil said, the power
- 1:42:18Speaker 1: of God is not in your assembly? Listen to me,
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: believe us men and women of God, with all due respect,
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: that came to challenge you tonight. There is more that
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: we need to do across the south south, across Portacots.
- 1:42:31Speaker 1: Here there is so much we need to upgrade to
- 1:42:34Speaker 1: a higher level of power and fire. There are principalities.
- 1:42:38Speaker 1: The arsenals of darkness continue to group themselves to see
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: that they discredit the power of God. God is saying,
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: where are the people that most arise that every altar
- 1:42:50Speaker 1: by some days placing with fire, regardless the denomination these demons,
- 1:42:55Speaker 1: as they're living this assembly, they want to land on
- 1:42:58Speaker 1: this short fire sending them. There is an avalanche of
- 1:43:04Speaker 1: salvation people on the streets breaking down and wondering what
- 1:43:09Speaker 1: is wrong? You just shook hands with a man of
- 1:43:12Speaker 1: God you met at the marketplace, and just that handshake
- 1:43:16Speaker 1: destroyed ten year captivity. Then God leads you to someone
- 1:43:27Speaker 1: you pray for him. The Lord bless you, and a
- 1:43:31Speaker 1: contract that has been tied for ten years, fifteen years,
- 1:43:34Speaker 1: all of the moneys is released. He would be too
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: grateful to forget you. Can I tell you how funding
- 1:43:39Speaker 1: comes from ministry? Listen, there's no point in hiding it.
- 1:43:42Speaker 1: It's not some superstitious things. The blessing of the Lord
- 1:43:45Speaker 1: comes from those who have been impacted by that grace.
- 1:43:51Speaker 1: Don't look for wealthy people, make them through the grace
- 1:43:54Speaker 1: of God upon your life, Ladies, kalibra kato's kiata. That
- 1:44:04Speaker 1: someone comes and in two weeks, whilst he's loving the Lord,
- 1:44:08Speaker 1: whilst he's knowing the Lord, a promotion that is too
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: ten years for some tribal sentiments, and the fire that
- 1:44:16Speaker 1: comes from your altar burns that chaff into pieces. That
- 1:44:20Speaker 1: man is lifted and promoted. The man will vow and
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: say as you move, and move with you whatever is
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: your project, just let me know. Can I tell you this?
- 1:44:29Speaker 1: Every body on earth, including those who have been greedy
- 1:44:32Speaker 1: to you, they are givers. They only have not considered
- 1:44:35Speaker 1: you to be worth They are giving the same person
- 1:44:38Speaker 1: who will refuse to give you money and fund your
- 1:44:41Speaker 1: ministry will come back to a man of God and says, sir,
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: can I have the privilege of giving you one hundred
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: million for the Chanche project?
- 1:44:49Speaker 8: He was not greedy.
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: You are just not on fire enough to be worth
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: his money if you spent time. Please can I have
- 1:45:02Speaker 1: the oil? Something is about to come upon your life tonight.
- 1:45:06Speaker 4: Thank you, sir.
- 1:45:10Speaker 1: This is cooking oil. Can use it to fry egg.
- 1:45:12Speaker 1: You can use it to fry yam. There is no
- 1:45:14Speaker 1: power in this thing on its own. Oil does not annoyed.
- 1:45:18Speaker 1: Oil only annoyed when it is anointed. There's no point
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: idolizing it. This is ordinary oil. Women use this to cook,
- 1:45:30Speaker 1: use this to do all.
- 1:45:31Speaker 8: Kinds of things.
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: But hear me, people of God. I do not stand
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: here tonight as one who claims to be sufficient in myself.
- 1:45:41Speaker 1: But I want to tell you something. I have tasted
- 1:45:45Speaker 1: of the grace of God. I know what God can
- 1:45:48Speaker 1: do with men. Many of you have come here with
- 1:45:51Speaker 1: hearts opened. There are graces that are coming tonight. The
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: Bible says grace and peace be multiplied. Please listen to me.
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: Some of you have fasted, and you have prayed, and
- 1:46:07Speaker 1: you have said, God, I know there has to be
- 1:46:10Speaker 1: more to you. I may profit, but this thing is
- 1:46:13Speaker 1: as if it is as if my office is a
- 1:46:15Speaker 1: reproach to me. Everything you say is a lie. Your
- 1:46:20Speaker 1: name is Joan Noah Misqel. You have two children, No,
- 1:46:23Speaker 1: I don't even have any children. And you stand there,
- 1:46:25Speaker 1: and God truly called you. What of those who are
- 1:46:31Speaker 1: here who are bleeding? Members come, they receive, and they leave.
- 1:46:36Speaker 1: Have you seen that kind of thing? They come, You
- 1:46:38Speaker 1: pray for them, you first, and then they leave when
- 1:46:41Speaker 1: they have to breakthrough the stand up and go somewhere else,
- 1:46:46Speaker 1: Paul says.
- 1:46:47Speaker 8: And God is able to make all grace a bound
- 1:46:51Speaker 8: towards you.
- 1:46:53Speaker 1: This man standing before you is a product of many anointings.
- 1:46:58Speaker 1: This anointing is like relay. We have also received it
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: from those who went ahead of us. One time I
- 1:47:12Speaker 1: heard the honor and the privilege of being in that
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: the Jew's prayer room alone, And when I lay down
- 1:47:22Speaker 1: there on the ground, I said, Oh God, the only
- 1:47:26Speaker 1: thing I'm asking is the covenant of answered prayer that
- 1:47:30Speaker 1: you have with this man.
- 1:47:32Speaker 8: Let it come upon my life.
- 1:47:34Speaker 1: I left their knowing, knowing that the lives of people
- 1:47:39Speaker 1: will begin to change. Let me tell you this. When
- 1:47:43Speaker 1: you tell people God bless you, they shout Amen. They
- 1:47:47Speaker 1: are watching to see if nothing happens. That Amen will
- 1:47:50Speaker 1: suddenly become a mockery to you because they themselves know
- 1:47:54Speaker 1: that nothing will happen.
- 1:47:56Speaker 8: Can I tell you this, accept God is not God.
- 1:47:59Speaker 1: But there is no one sitting under the sound of
- 1:48:02Speaker 1: my voice who will return back to ordinary ministry again.
- 1:48:08Speaker 8: Believe me, there will be such a baptism or fire
- 1:48:17Speaker 8: in this place.
- 1:48:19Speaker 1: This is what I want you to do. I'm going
- 1:48:22Speaker 1: to pray on this oil. Please listen, including those outside,
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: so we make it first. I will lay my hands
- 1:48:28Speaker 1: on this oil and pray, and they'll just pass it around.
- 1:48:33Speaker 1: Just dip your hands. You I'm not even well. I
- 1:48:35Speaker 1: don't know how you're going to do it, but let's
- 1:48:37Speaker 1: just okay, fine, Please, I will pray and then will
- 1:48:40Speaker 1: put it the leaders. You don't have to just be patient.
- 1:48:44Speaker 1: They will get to you. Just place it on your head,
- 1:48:47Speaker 1: place it on your hand, fire in tongues, place it
- 1:48:51Speaker 1: on your head, on your hands. Lord, I'm leaving this
- 1:48:54Speaker 1: rem financially, spiritually. Some of you you have said yourself
- 1:49:00Speaker 1: walking signs and in wonders, but not to the decree
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: that brings glory to the name of the Lord.
- 1:49:06Speaker 8: One headache. Parierre will not do much for the kingdom.
- 1:49:10Speaker 1: Can I tell you this, some of you, after this comportation,
- 1:49:13Speaker 1: you need to run back to your families and self
- 1:49:16Speaker 1: come with a new anointing the challenge that did not
- 1:49:19Speaker 1: give away yesterday. Saul is not a weak man looking
- 1:49:23Speaker 1: for his father's ship again.

- 1:57:43Speaker 1: Fireh Allelujah, Praise the name of the Lord. Now listen, listen, listen.
- 1:58:01Speaker 1: We're not done. I want to pray for you, but
- 1:58:03Speaker 1: I want to do something prophetic right now. Pascelare Please,
- 1:58:08Speaker 1: can I have six other pastors with you, inclusive, just
- 1:58:12Speaker 1: to come and stand here with me? Anyone I told
- 1:58:14Speaker 1: you were going to stand prophetically representing the Body of
- 1:58:20Speaker 1: Christ over Portacot and over the South South. Listen. The
- 1:58:26Speaker 1: days of disunity and fighting back, biting, tearing down one another.
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: We have to declare that those days come to an answer.
- 1:58:37Speaker 1: Please listen to me, Please look up everyone. Can I
- 1:58:46Speaker 1: tell you this.
- 1:58:48Speaker 8: Unity does not mean uniformity.
- 1:58:51Speaker 1: In truth, I admit that there are issues with the
- 1:58:54Speaker 1: Body of Christ. It's not Neil. It is still the
- 1:58:57Speaker 1: Body of Christ. If a man's wife is sick, does
- 1:59:01Speaker 1: she stop being his wife? Are we together? Listen to
- 1:59:05Speaker 1: me for a long time, it looks like this sense
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: of unity, it is difficult to attain it. Why because
- 1:59:15Speaker 1: we bring all kinds of prejudices. I am anointed, I
- 1:59:19Speaker 1: have more.
- 1:59:19Speaker 8: Evelation, I have more money, I have more members.
- 1:59:23Speaker 1: You may be right, but you will still not win
- 1:59:27Speaker 1: in the body. You don't win jobs because you are right.
- 1:59:32Speaker 1: God connected us to ourselves. And can I tell you this.
- 1:59:36Speaker 1: It may look like we're taking one step after another,
- 1:59:40Speaker 1: but by the privilege of God's grace, where our fathers
- 1:59:43Speaker 1: have done their best, we are not the ones who
- 1:59:45Speaker 1: come and fail a generation. We have to learn to
- 1:59:50Speaker 1: look listen. The key to unity is an understanding of
- 1:59:54Speaker 1: mutual honor, a communication of mutual honor. I cannot have uni.
- 2:00:00Speaker 1: I can't show this man. We cannot be united when
- 2:00:04Speaker 1: I'm there talking about him, tearing him down, down, playing
- 2:00:07Speaker 1: the grace of God upon his life. Just because God
- 2:00:11Speaker 1: has helped me in a measure does not mean we
- 2:00:14Speaker 1: use our gifts and that which God has given us
- 2:00:17Speaker 1: to tear down. He must acknowledge what God has done
- 2:00:20Speaker 1: in my life I'm not frown at it. Don't see
- 2:00:23Speaker 1: results and actors. If it's not.
- 2:00:25Speaker 8: Results you are seeing, there's nothing to be ashamed of.
- 2:00:28Speaker 1: However, if people clap for you for the results, be
- 2:00:32Speaker 1: wise enough to know that it's not ordinarily human for
- 2:00:36Speaker 1: people to just bend over backwards to acknowledge you. You
- 2:00:41Speaker 1: must be wise enough to reciprocate it. Oh, you are
- 2:00:44Speaker 1: the great Man of God you're talking about is an honor, sir.
- 2:00:47Speaker 1: I also appreciate and honor God's grace upon your life.
- 2:00:50Speaker 1: He said, the moment we introduce mutual respect because some
- 2:00:57Speaker 1: of you, now respectfully speaking, have been mentor to look
- 2:01:01Speaker 1: down certain men of God, certain denominations. The people that
- 2:01:05Speaker 1: are mentored you may not be wrong, but they are inaccurate.
- 2:01:09Speaker 1: That theology never wins. There is a level of power
- 2:01:13Speaker 1: that the Body of Christ must present that no single
- 2:01:16Speaker 1: man can present. The best of us is an effective
- 2:01:20Speaker 1: member of the body. Are we together? And so I'm
- 2:01:24Speaker 1: asking these great servants of God representing the Body of Christ,
- 2:01:29Speaker 1: we want to stand in unity and pray and say, Father,
- 2:01:32Speaker 1: we're tired of this unity.
- 2:01:34Speaker 8: Yes, it is true that some of us have issues
- 2:01:37Speaker 8: and God is helping.
- 2:01:39Speaker 1: It is true that some of us have not seen
- 2:01:41Speaker 1: the light to certain degrees, but it's too small a
- 2:01:44Speaker 1: reason to cause a division. Don't go around mentoring people
- 2:01:50Speaker 1: to trivial lives. A man of God rejoicing when evil happens,
- 2:01:55Speaker 1: you are raising those same people who fight you tomorrow
- 2:01:58Speaker 1: with the same mentality you are giving them. We must
- 2:02:02Speaker 1: learn to celebrate one another. I pray that the time
- 2:02:05Speaker 1: will come in for taco where a man of God
- 2:02:07Speaker 1: is organizing a crusade. And even if it's not your ministry,
- 2:02:11Speaker 1: you can pay for a hundred bosses and say, let
- 2:02:14Speaker 1: souls be saved, just telling me a man of God,
- 2:02:16Speaker 1: it doesn't need to know me. Where someone will come
- 2:02:20Speaker 1: and uses resources and complete the building of a church
- 2:02:23Speaker 1: for not a ministry, and just bless them and not
- 2:02:26Speaker 1: demand anything in return. It is for this cause it
- 2:02:30Speaker 1: gave apostles and prophets and evangelists. Listen. Let's not allow
- 2:02:38Speaker 1: our ego and our selfishness punish our children, even if
- 2:02:44Speaker 1: we do not love ourselves. Let's think of the pressures gifts.
- 2:02:48Speaker 1: There are people watching our lives in the next ten years,
- 2:02:51Speaker 1: in the next twenty years, in the next thirty years.
- 2:02:54Speaker 1: When the fathers that we see now have joined the
- 2:02:57Speaker 1: cloud of witnesses. If Christ tarries, it will still be
- 2:03:00Speaker 1: us when we're coming up. We insulted the fathers, we
- 2:03:04Speaker 1: abuse them. Now the battle is in our hands. And
- 2:03:06Speaker 1: see how we are messing up doing the same thing
- 2:03:09Speaker 1: we were once insulting. Listen, our gifts must be gunished
- 2:03:14Speaker 1: with self control and maturity and order and honor. For
- 2:03:18Speaker 1: the body you dishonor the body there is a punishment,
- 2:03:22Speaker 1: the Bible says. For this cost many a week. For
- 2:03:25Speaker 1: this cause many as to sleep. They are sick, they
- 2:03:30Speaker 1: are weak, and they do sleep well. If someone comes
- 2:03:34Speaker 1: to gossip about a man of God and it's short,
- 2:03:36Speaker 1: you're tell him no, no, no, no no.
- 2:03:37Speaker 8: If you are not here, just to pray for the person, work.
- 2:03:39Speaker 1: Out of my house. My house will not be a
- 2:03:41Speaker 1: habitation of hatred and gossip. Now, the people you are
- 2:03:45Speaker 1: mentoring will watch you from it distance. Wow, they see
- 2:03:48Speaker 1: the purity of what are teaching and how you are living.
- 2:03:56Speaker 1: Are we together? I can tell you this before Christ comes.
- 2:04:01Speaker 1: For as long as it gives us the grace and
- 2:04:03Speaker 1: the privilege for life, we will use the grace, the influence,
- 2:04:07Speaker 1: and all it takes to save body of Christ. We
- 2:04:10Speaker 1: are not calling you to do the same thing, but
- 2:04:12Speaker 1: we're calling you to present to the world a matured bride.
- 2:04:19Speaker 1: We must grow out of the childishness of fighting one
- 2:04:21Speaker 1: another and mentoring people to untackle nice feed. No, if
- 2:04:27Speaker 1: you don't like the prophetic, that's all right, but don't
- 2:04:30Speaker 1: insult it and tear it down. If you don't like
- 2:04:32Speaker 1: the teaching ministry, that's all right, but don't insult it
- 2:04:34Speaker 1: and tear it down. Don't say that man only teaching teaching,
- 2:04:37Speaker 1: teaching no power. Let it not come from you. If
- 2:04:40Speaker 1: you think she needs power, pray for him, buy the
- 2:04:42Speaker 1: books that relate to power, and give him as a seed.
- 2:04:45Speaker 1: That's a better approach. Shousting shan pans. We will really
- 2:04:54Speaker 1: lead us all law It turn a highway. We want
- 2:05:00Speaker 1: to fall all the ways of Jesus.
- 2:05:04Speaker 4: We want to and yours.
- 2:05:09Speaker 6: Will you show us the shend pals? Will you lead
- 2:05:16Speaker 6: us alone? It turn highway?
- 2:05:28Speaker 1: Listen, every man of God, no matter how wrong, is
- 2:05:34Speaker 1: sincerely believing he's doing his best. Interceed and say Lord,
- 2:05:39Speaker 1: open their eyes to say greater, or don't stand and
- 2:05:43Speaker 1: look down at people. No, don't tear down men of God.
- 2:05:47Speaker 1: Don't use your poor pit as a platform. There are
- 2:05:50Speaker 1: many many messages to preach. Don't be envious. You hear
- 2:05:57Speaker 1: that God is lifting someone. Oh, may God bless you.
- 2:06:00Speaker 1: I'm happy here that this is happening in the ministry.
- 2:06:03Speaker 1: Made the Lord. H No, you made the Lord keep it.
- 2:06:05Speaker 1: If the person looks down you and says no problem,
- 2:06:08Speaker 1: leaving to his trouble, you have done yours. Please? Is
- 2:06:12Speaker 1: it okay?
- 2:06:12Speaker 6: I know that?
- 2:06:13Speaker 1: Can we roll hands together? We're going to pray prophetically,
- 2:06:17Speaker 1: Body of Christ. Listen, we're standing here representing the city
- 2:06:24Speaker 1: of portar Court. I know there are fathers across the
- 2:06:28Speaker 1: South South veterans of the Gospel, but these are the
- 2:06:31Speaker 1: ones that are available here. This button was given to us.
- 2:06:36Speaker 1: We should not fail. It does not take perfection to win.
- 2:06:41Speaker 1: It takes maturity. Further, we stand here at this South
- 2:06:49Speaker 1: South Convention, here at House on the Rock, Porta Court,
- 2:06:53Speaker 1: and I'm holding hands so God, with servants, men of God,
- 2:07:00Speaker 1: and we standards a united body across this city and
- 2:07:04Speaker 1: across this region. Lord. We admit that are levels of
- 2:07:08Speaker 1: transformation may differ. We admit that are levels of accuracy
- 2:07:13Speaker 1: and alignment to spiritual things may differ. We admit that
- 2:07:18Speaker 1: are levels of obedience and compliance to Your principles made differ.
- 2:07:22Speaker 1: We agree that the levels of grace that we operate
- 2:07:26Speaker 1: and differ. But Lord, we choose, by understanding and maturity
- 2:07:33Speaker 1: to love one another, to serve one another, to help
- 2:07:37Speaker 1: one another, to pray for one another, to cry with
- 2:07:41Speaker 1: one another, to stand with one another, to comfort one another.
- 2:07:46Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, we will never rejoice at
- 2:07:49Speaker 1: the downfall of one another. We standards say, united pride.
- 2:07:54Speaker 1: Even though wounded, we are still your pride. And Lord,
- 2:07:57Speaker 1: we lift up this voice. We pray in the name
- 2:08:01Speaker 1: of Jesus, over Portacot, your kingdom, Come over Portacot a
- 2:08:07Speaker 1: fresh reign of revival. In the name of Jesus Christ.
- 2:08:12Speaker 1: We pray for every church, every assembly, every evangelistic outfit,
- 2:08:19Speaker 1: every prophetic platform, every prayer group. We decree and declare
- 2:08:24Speaker 1: fresh fire on your old time. Those who have made mistakes,
- 2:08:30Speaker 1: those who have derailed on the part of righteousness and
- 2:08:33Speaker 1: the Gospel, we pray messy over their lives, that by
- 2:08:37Speaker 1: the privilege of God's grace, you will help them to
- 2:08:39Speaker 1: be restored. Those who are walking accurately, we pray for
- 2:08:43Speaker 1: the grace for continuity and the grace to finish troum.
- 2:08:48Speaker 1: We pray for the younger ministers. May we not mentor
- 2:08:51Speaker 1: you wrongly. In the name of Jesus. Where we have
- 2:08:55Speaker 1: made mistakes, we release grace upon you to move greater
- 2:08:59Speaker 1: and more accurate. And we are walking the same way
- 2:09:02Speaker 1: the fathers showed us their cast to help us rise
- 2:09:06Speaker 1: more accurately. In the name of Jesus, May you clamb
- 2:09:09Speaker 1: upon us cast and two ministry more efficiently. We decree

- 2:09:33Speaker 1: a place of miracle, signs and wonders. We declare that
- 2:09:37Speaker 1: every assembly becomes a place for nation building. Every assembly
- 2:09:42Speaker 1: becomes a house of prayer. I pray, o God, that
- 2:09:48Speaker 1: you would raise mighty men and women from our assemblies.
- 2:09:54Speaker 1: Certain we speak to you over this region. You have failed,
- 2:09:58Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus, the edge that you've had
- 2:10:03Speaker 1: over the church as a result of this unity, as
- 2:10:06Speaker 1: a result of divides, we close that door by the
- 2:10:09Speaker 1: blood of the Lamb as a united church. The bride
- 2:10:14Speaker 1: of Christ. We stand and we declare the victory that
- 2:10:19Speaker 1: has been given to us in Christ.

- 2:10:24Speaker 1: You are God's own state. South, South, you are God's

- 2:11:24Speaker 1: all going to. Therefore, Lord, we declare, let the unity
- 2:11:31Speaker 1: of the church in Portacot never be broken again. And
- 2:11:35Speaker 1: anyone who steps into this city to disunite the body.
- 2:11:38Speaker 1: We close the borders of this city towards them in
- 2:11:42Speaker 1: the name of Jesus Christ. Every assembly is flourishing with membership,

- 2:12:13Speaker 1: Many of them have sacrificed their families. They have sacrificed
- 2:12:17Speaker 1: time with their children. We pray for the workers also,

- 2:12:23Speaker 1: everything by ourselves.
- 2:12:25Speaker 8: Lord, we pray for our precious workers.

- 2:12:30Speaker 1: and after we're gone, they're still left behind. We pray
- 2:12:33Speaker 1: that you will bless them. We do not take them

- 2:14:01Speaker 1: currently going through a building project. In the name of
- 2:14:05Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, the Bible says, the hand of the Ruba
- 2:14:07Speaker 1: bell that began this work, we release a finish us
- 2:14:11Speaker 1: annointing on your project in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 2:14:16Speaker 1: Where men have mocked your God and so where is
- 2:14:19Speaker 1: the evidence of serving God. I place something upon your

- 2:15:07Speaker 1: your stations, meet with signs and wonders, meet with testimonies.
- 2:15:13Speaker 1: Tomorrow here in this city, may every altar catch fire
- 2:15:20Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank you Father. Wave
- 2:15:24Speaker 1: your hands to Jesus and give him prison.
