• 5:24
  Speaker 2: And it is the.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Assignment of the shepherds to build to mature God's people.
• 5:33
  According to Jeremiah three and verse fifteen, I will give
• 5:36
  you past us or shepherds. According to my heart, the
• 5:41
  Bible says they shall feed you.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: So what you are receiving is feeding.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: It's more than an information that is entering your ears.
• 5:50
  It's an information that is entering your spirit and framing
• 5:53
  your reality. Allelujah. They will feed you with knowledge and
• 5:59
  with honor understanding. Allelujah. Tonight, the world of God is
• 6:04
  coming with power to purge and build us and prayed
• 6:08
  earnestly for tonight's teaching. It is a teaching for the
• 6:11
  body of Christ, and I want you to please listen.
• 6:15
  Do not allow yourself to be distracted tonight. Listen from
• 6:20
  start to finish, because I believe that this is one
• 6:23
  of those teachings tonight that you will praise God for
• 6:28
  and it will build your capacity in the spirit for
• 6:31
  a very long time. In the name of Jesus Christ, allelujah,
• 6:37
  I'm teaching on the purified Church, the purified Church.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Tonight.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: God is coming to us as a refiners fire to
• 6:48
  build us and to give us capacity and stamina even
• 6:53
  in the spirit. The purified Church. God is going to
• 6:58
  be commending us, is going to be challenging us, and
• 7:02
  the world of God is going to be building us.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus allelujah.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I want to start this teaching tonight with three very
• 7:11
  important information. Number one, Jesus is coming back and he's
• 7:19
  coming back soon. That is the first information. You would
• 7:24
  be surprised that many people have forgotten this thing. I
• 7:28
  just said, Jesus is coming back and he's coming soon.
• 7:33
  Revelations one and verse seven. Please let's hurry up. We
• 7:36
  have a lot to cover tonight. Behold, he comments with clouds,
• 7:41
  and every eye shall see him, and they also wich
• 7:45
  pstim and all kindreds of the earth shall will because
• 7:49
  of him.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Even so Amen.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: So the Bible tells us assuredly that Jesus Christ is returning.
• 7:57
  It's one of the cardinal pillers of the crew stend
• 8:00
  faith the imminent return of Jesus. You are not a
• 8:04
  complete Christian if you do not believe that Jesus is coming.
• 8:08
  It's not enough to believe he came the first time.
• 8:10
  It's not enough to believe that he died. You most
• 8:13
  believe that he's coming again. Revelations twenty two, verse twelve.
• 8:18
  Then we go to verse twenty. The Bible says, and behold,
• 8:22
  I come quickly. Jesus himself is speaking, and my reward
• 8:26
  is with me to give every man according as his
• 8:31
  works shall be. Verse twenty here, which testified this thing, said, surely.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I come quickly a man. Even so, come Lord Jesus.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Last scripture to establish that point Acts Chapter one, from
• 8:47
  verse ten to eleven. This is Jesus being lifted to
• 8:51
  the heavens, and the Bible says, while they looked steadfastly
• 8:54
  towards heaven.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: As he went up.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Behold two men stood by them in white apparel eleven,
• 9:02
  which also said, ye men of Galilee, why stand ye
• 9:06
  gazing into heaven? The same Jesus, Now, not another one,
• 9:12
  This same Jesus, which is taken off from you into heaven.
• 9:17
  He shall come in like manner. In like manner means
• 9:20
  the way you saw him go up, that is the
• 9:23
  way he's going to come back. The way nothing resisted
• 9:26
  him from going up, that is the same way nothing
• 9:28
  will resist him from coming back.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: So? Fast Number one for tonight's teaching is that Jesus
• 9:35
  is coming back, and he is coming soon. Fast number
• 9:40
  two efficient chapter five and verse twenty six to twenty seven.
• 9:45
  There is a kind of church and a kind of
• 9:49
  pride that he's coming back for. The Bible says that
• 9:52
  he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of
• 9:57
  water by the word twenty seventh.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Please.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: It says that he might present it to himself a
• 10:04
  glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing,
• 10:11
  but that it should be holy and without blemish. So
• 10:16
  he's coming, Fat number one. Fat number two. He's just
• 10:19
  not coming for any kind of person. There is a
• 10:23
  kind of church, there is a kind of believer. He's
• 10:26
  coming for a weekly on that number three. It is
• 10:30
  the assignment of the fivefold ministry to help build and
• 10:36
  mature the body of Christ to be efficient even as
• 10:40
  we await his coming. It is the assignment of the fivefold,
• 10:45
  the fivefold ministry now to help build and mature the
• 10:50
  body to be efficient, even as we await his coming.
• 10:56
  You find that inefficiency of the fall. From eleven to
• 11:00
  sixteen he gave some apostles, prophets, evangelists, past us, teach
• 11:08
  us uhhah. It says, for the perfecting, the maturing of
• 11:11
  the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the
• 11:14
  defiant of the Body of Christ. Next verse, till we
• 11:18
  come into the unity of the faith and of the
• 11:21
  knowledge of the Son of God, onto a perfect man,
• 11:25
  the Bible says, onto the measure of the stature of
• 11:28
  the fullness of Christ.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Fourteen it says that we henceforth be no more children
• 11:34
  toss to and fro.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: And carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the
• 11:39
  slight of men and conning craftiness, wherein the light to deceived.
• 11:44
  Next verse he says, but speaking the truth in love,
• 11:47
  we may grow up into Him in all things, which
• 11:51
  is the head, even Christ. The last verse, now it says,
• 11:55
  from whom the whole body fitly joined together and comparted
• 11:59
  by that which every joint supply it according to the
• 12:02
  effectual walking in the measure of every part, Make it
• 12:07
  increase of the body onto the defying of itself in love.
• 12:13
  So that Jesus is coming again. He's coming back, and
• 12:18
  he's coming soon. Number two, that he's coming for a
• 12:21
  kind of church. And the Bible says that church as
• 12:24
  a bride should be without.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Sport or rinco.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: And then the next verse, it is the mandate that
• 12:31
  means anyone who is truly called by God to function
• 12:37
  within the scope of the fivefold contained in your strategy
• 12:41
  for building believers must be a template, a teaching resources
• 12:48
  that help the body to become inexperience, that purified bride,
• 12:54
  that purified church.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Are we together? Hallelujah?
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Now, the next thing I wanted to know, I'm Russian
• 13:02
  because there is a lot for us to cover. The
• 13:04
  next thing I wanted to know is that the way
• 13:07
  listen carefully the Lord purifies and matures his church is
• 13:14
  by commendation and correction. The way that the Lord purifies
• 13:21
  and matures his church is by a blend of commendation
• 13:28
  and correction. When God builds and purifies his bride, he
• 13:33
  does it by commending the bride and commending the church
• 13:39
  where they do well and get it right, and then
• 13:43
  correcting and pointing areas to them that they need to
• 13:46
  make adjustments. In Philippians chapter three and verse eleven, we
• 13:50
  see this strategy used in the Ministry of Paul three
• 13:54
  and eleven. Hallelujah, I hope I got that right. Give
• 14:02
  us yes, Let's start from verse eleven.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Let's see.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I hope that's it, if by any means I might
• 14:08
  attain onto the resurrection of the dead. Oh no, please
• 14:11
  search for that scripture. I thank my God in remembrance
• 14:14
  of you. That's a scripture I'm looking for. Let's go
• 14:17
  to Hebrews chapter twelve, from verse five. Hebrews chapter twelve. Okay,
• 14:23
  beautiful Philippians one and verse three. Now watch this he said,
• 14:29
  I thank my God upon every remembrance of you. Verse four.
• 14:35
  It says, always in prayer of mind for you, making
• 14:39
  requests with joy, uh huh.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: For your fellowship.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: In the Gospel from the first day until now, Apostle
• 14:48
  Paul is commanding the church. Now verse six, being confident
• 14:53
  of this very thing, he said that we hear which
• 14:56
  had begune a good walk?
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: What kind of work a good walk?
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: In you?
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: He said, he will perform it onto the day of
• 15:04
  Jesus Christ. You can stop there. So Paul is commending them,
• 15:08
  and he's saying that every time he remembers them, he's
• 15:11
  blessing God for them because that they are walking in truth,
• 15:16
  and that he is confident that that which is commended
• 15:19
  onto God.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: That he's able to keep.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: He's expressing joy and commendation. Now, let's go to Hebrews
• 15:26
  chapter twelve. From verse eleven, Saint Paul, Hebrews twelve, the
• 15:31
  Bible says, now not chastening for the present.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: From verse five, please five to eleven.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Five to eleven, he says, and ye have forgotten the
• 15:44
  exhortation which speak it onto you as children, My son
• 15:48
  despise not the chastening of the Lord.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Someone said, the chastening of the Lord no feint.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: When thou art rebuked the word thinks there is don't
• 15:58
  be discouraged, he said, encouraging you that in your journey
• 16:02
  in your work with God. There are times you will correct.
• 16:06
  He will rebuke you that when that happens, do not
• 16:09
  take offense in it. It is part of his structure
• 16:12
  for maturing You is someone learning now, He says, no
• 16:16
  faint when thou are rebuked of him? And how are
• 16:19
  Reading to eleven, It says, for whom the Lord loveth,
• 16:23
  he chastingeth and scoorget every son whom he receiveth. That
• 16:28
  means the chasing of the of the Lord is a
• 16:31
  sign of acceptance that he loves you and he wants
• 16:34
  you to stand to last, to finish strong. He says,
• 16:37
  if he and your chastening God deal it with you
• 16:41
  as with sons. For what son is he whom the
• 16:45
  Father chasing it not? It's asking a question verse eight,
• 16:48
  reading to eleven. But if he be without chastisement, whereof
• 16:54
  all our partakers, then are e bastards? The word bastard
• 16:58
  there is not an insult. It means you are one
• 17:00
  who is not under the mentorship of a father. It's
• 17:03
  as though there is nobody who builds you, who shapes you, it.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Says, and you are not sons verse nine.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Furthermore, we have had fathers in our flesh corrected us,
• 17:15
  which corrected us, and we gave them reverence. Shall we
• 17:19
  not much rather be in subjection onto the Father of Spirit?
• 17:24
  And leave verse ten, For they verily for a few
• 17:29
  days chasing us after their own pleasure, But he for
• 17:33
  our profit. So chastening is for your profit, that we
• 17:37
  might be partakers of His holiness. The last verse bliss,
• 17:41
  it says, now no chastening, for the presence.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Seem meant to be joyous, but grievous.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Nevertheless, afterwards it yielded the peaceable foot of righteousness onto
• 17:55
  them which are exercised. Dearby are we to so we
• 18:01
  see that impulse. Apostolic ministry. He helped the church get matured,
• 18:06
  not only by teaching them the mysteries of the kingdom,
• 18:09
  but he was very careful to watch over them and
• 18:12
  to command them where commendation was needed, and to chastise
• 18:17
  or to correct them where chastisement was needed. In Revelations
• 18:22
  Chapter two, please give us. From verse one, John was
• 18:26
  caught up in the Isle of Patmos, and he had
• 18:29
  an encounter with Jesus the resurrected Christ, now in his
• 18:33
  glorified state, and he was asked to write a letter
• 18:36
  to the seven Churches. Now, theologically speaking, they were seven
• 18:40
  churches in Asia Minor, but it was a prophetic representation
• 18:44
  of the entire church. Are we together, We're going to
• 18:47
  take just two of the churches to study the character
• 18:51
  of how God purifies his church.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Are we together? Onto the Angel of the Church in Ephesus?
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Right this thing said he that holded the seven stars
• 19:03
  in his right hand, who walked in the midst of
• 19:06
  the seven golden candles.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Next verse, I know thy walks? Now are you saying?
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: Now?
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I know thy walks, and thy labor and thy patience?
• 19:17
  How and how that cannot bear them which are evil?
• 19:22
  And thou hast tried them which say they are apostles
• 19:25
  and are not, and has found them liars.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: We're reading two eleven.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Let's hurry up, media, and has borne and as patience,
• 19:33
  and for my name's sake, has labored and has not fainted.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Have you seen that? He started by commanding them that listen,
• 19:41
  I am not unaware of your sacrifice.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I see your diligence and everything that you do for
• 19:47
  the kingdom. Then he says, nevertheless, I have somewhat against
• 19:52
  thee because thou hast left your first love.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Remember.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Therefore, from whence thou hast fallen and repent and do
• 20:02
  the first works, or else I will come on to
• 20:05
  you quickly, and I will remove thy candle stick out
• 20:09
  of his place, except you repent. Verse six, it says,
• 20:13
  but this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of
• 20:17
  the Niccoladeans, which I also hate. Seven he that hath
• 20:22
  an ear, he says, let him hear what the spirit
• 20:24
  sayer to the churches, to him that overcome it, I
• 20:27
  will give to each of the tree of life, which
• 20:30
  is in the midst of the paradise of God. Now
• 20:35
  he goes to the next church, the church and Smyrna.
• 20:38
  He says these things, say it the first and the last,
• 20:43
  which was dead and is alive.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Verse nine. I know thy works and tribulation and poverty.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: But thou at rich, and I know the blasphemy of them,
• 20:54
  would say, they are Jews and are not brought out the.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Synagogues of Satan. So he come a mends them.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Now he says, here none of those things which thou
• 21:05
  shalt suffer. Behold, the devil shall cast some of you
• 21:08
  into prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall
• 21:13
  have tribulation ten days. He says, be down faithful onto death,
• 21:17
  and I will give thee a.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Crown of life.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: The last verse, verse eleven, he says, he that hath
• 21:23
  an ear, let him hear what the spirit say to
• 21:26
  the churches, and he that overcome it shall not be
• 21:29
  hurt by the second death.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Are we together now?
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: So you see that the character of Jesus Christ in
• 21:36
  dealing with the church is that he would comment appropriately
• 21:42
  and then he would correct. Please look up this already
• 21:48
  is a template for every man of God and every
• 21:52
  leader to use in dealing with people. That means when
• 21:56
  you want to build a mature people, please let me
• 21:59
  have your attention. The first thing is that you must
• 22:02
  be lavish to correct them, but you must also be
• 22:07
  very lavish to commend them. When your ministry and your
• 22:11
  mentorship structure is only full of commendation and commendation, you
• 22:16
  are going to raise a people that are weak and.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Will not sustain power and stamina.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Your vision, your ministry, your organization will be full of
• 22:26
  flattery and lives. But then on the flip side of it,
• 22:30
  if your ministry is all about judgment and correction and
• 22:34
  rebuke and pointing fingers at people, you are going to
• 22:37
  produce a discouraged people.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Are we together now?
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Because when you stretch the human spirit beyond certain boundaries,
• 22:45
  they become discouraged. There are parents today who are produced,
• 22:50
  in quote what we caause, spoiled children, And the way
• 22:54
  they did that was by living a life that is
• 22:57
  full of commendation, with no structure for improvement and rebuke.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Whether the child is good or bad, that's it. They
• 23:04
  just love like that. And then there are those who
• 23:08
  prote who produce children who are full.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Of bitterness and offense and anger because their entire lives
• 23:15
  given when the children were giving their very best, it
• 23:19
  seemed like the best was never enough. So good mentorship, therefore,
• 23:24
  and that which makes for maturity and stature must be
• 23:28
  a healthy blend.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Are we learning already of commendation?
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: And any ministry that focuses on just commendation without building
• 23:39
  and maturing the saints and chastising them if and when
• 23:43
  the need arises, will produce a lopsided and a very
• 23:47
  weak believer. But then any ministry that is full of
• 23:51
  judgment and pointing fingers and leadership, also you will not
• 23:56
  be able to produce a mature people.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: So in dealing with this is very sensitive subject of
• 24:02
  the purified church.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: It is important for us to understand that to get
• 24:07
  it right, we must adopt the template that was used
• 24:11
  by the apostle and the template that was used by
• 24:14
  Jesus himself. According to efficients chapter five and verse one,
• 24:20
  it says we should be imitators of God. Be imitators
• 24:24
  of God. Some versions said be followers of God as
• 24:28
  their children. That means, as you have seen him do
• 24:31
  and act do likewise. In first pitch, chapter two and
• 24:35
  twenty one, I believe it says we should follow in
• 24:38
  his steps. The last sentence it says that we should
• 24:41
  follow in his steps. That means the way he made
• 24:44
  the church mature is the way we can make the
• 24:47
  church within our territory mature by a healthy combination of
• 24:51
  commendation and then chastisement and rebuke.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: While this message concerns the church universal, the global church,
• 25:06
  my focus particularly is for the Church in Africa and
• 25:11
  then the church in Nigeria.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Allelujah.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: We owe to contribute to the maturity and the purification
• 25:19
  of the church within our territory. Now, the church in
• 25:24
  Nigeria the Church in Africa has contributed in many, many ways.
• 25:31
  We thank God for the privilege of the many things
• 25:35
  that the Church has done. Among them, the Church in
• 25:39
  Nigeria and even in Africa in many regards, have been
• 25:45
  the trail blazers in terms of revival across the nations.
• 25:50
  God himself by his spirit has raised fathers. Even within
• 25:55
  this nation. Many of us grew up in the midst
• 25:57
  of seasons of strategic revival.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: There were great people like rein.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Had Bunke of late, great people who came into this
• 26:05
  nation and across the African continent. Because of the presence
• 26:11
  of these people, men like Archbishop Idahosa Hallelujah, Penson Idahosa,
• 26:18
  these people spareheaded very tremendous levels of revival.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: The Church has also done well worthy of commendation in
• 26:26
  terms of sacrifice.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I can tell you like you know that the Church
• 26:30
  in Africa and the Church in Nigeria is truly a
• 26:34
  church of sacrifice, Allelujah.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Sacrifice always in terms of giving.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: In terms of many churches in this country, for instance,
• 26:45
  hold multiple services and there are people who are there
• 26:49
  from stads to finish. That is tremendous sacrifice. It is
• 26:52
  not a usual occurrence in many parts of the world.
• 26:56
  In Cooynonia here, for instance, there are people who are
• 26:58
  here very early in the morning and would stay late
• 27:01
  into the morning until everything is done. That is sacrifice
• 27:05
  and that is worthy of commendation. Number Three, The church
• 27:08
  in Nigeria Africa, and it extends to the church global
• 27:13
  is noted for compassion. Compassion that truly, we are a
• 27:18
  people of compassion. The gentleman who gave his testimony here.
• 27:23
  Can you imagine meeting someone for the first time and
• 27:27
  just telling the person that I am a member of Colnonia.
• 27:31
  What if he was lying? It didn't even check to verify.
• 27:35
  I carried money to give him. Now the gentleman has
• 27:37
  a job. There are people who went to school because
• 27:40
  of the church. Is that true? There are people who
• 27:43
  had the opportunity to rise and live responsible lives because
• 27:47
  of the church. So worthy of commendation is the compassion
• 27:51
  of the church. Worthy of commendation also is doctrine. By
• 27:55
  the grace of God, the church in Nigeria and it
• 27:59
  extends to many parts of Africa, has been a place
• 28:03
  of doctrine.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Nigeria does not have a problem with ignorance.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: No ignorance in spiritual matters for any believer in Nigeria
• 28:12
  today is purely a product of laziness. Because God has
• 28:15
  raised people across their body away together to be able
• 28:19
  to bring there is a minimum level of spiritual understanding
• 28:24
  that an average believer who is interested in God should attain.
• 28:31
  Worthy of commendation for the church in Nigeria. The Church
• 28:35
  in Africa is standing for truth and righteousness in the
• 28:40
  face of hardship and death.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: This is most prominent across the Northeast.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: You would hear of stories of pastors and people who
• 28:49
  were given an opportunity either to renounce Jesus and they
• 28:53
  stood even to the face of death. Many of these
• 28:56
  whom may not see it on air, but worthy of
• 28:59
  commendation is the stamina and the sacrifice of God's people.
• 29:03
  Many people have given up riches, given up opportunities to
• 29:08
  be famous simply because they made up.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Their minds that they would stand for truth. Is that correct.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Worthy of commendation also is the profound dimension of kingdom
• 29:24
  influence that God has given his church within this nation,
• 29:29
  across Africa and also the world.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: God has lifted and honored the church.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: You can imagine churches in Nigeria having universities, hospitals. There
• 29:40
  are many people who would have died today except for
• 29:42
  the influence of the church. God has honored the church
• 29:45
  to be a global force right from Nigeria here and
• 29:49
  then parts of Africa and home to the world. So
• 29:52
  it is worthy of commendation. Finally, worthy of commendation is
• 29:57
  the tremendous display of spiritual power and the gifts of
• 30:02
  the spirit that has been invested in the church in
• 30:05
  this country, in the church in Africa. You know, I
• 30:08
  sat back there watching people come and give all these testimonies,
• 30:13
  and sometimes media will capture the emotions of the people,
• 30:16
  and I just nod my head and given me myself
• 30:19
  who God used to produce the miracles. I wouldn't really
• 30:23
  say I'm amazed, but I'm humbled that God can raise
• 30:26
  somebody out of nothing and invest such level of spiritual power.
• 30:32
  I can tell you that the church in Nigeria truly
• 30:34
  has spiritual power.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: The Church in Africa has spiritual power.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Forget about some of the challenges here and there profound power.
• 30:44
  There are people who left home on wheelchairs and return
• 30:49
  back carrying their wheelchairs and rejoicing. Genuine, authentic miracles there
• 30:54
  are people who, in the moment they twinkling of an eye,
• 30:57
  their lives changed like night and day because of the
• 31:00
  tremendous power. Is it the prophetic? Is it the revelatory grace?
• 31:04
  All kinds of grace is invested within the body. So
• 31:08
  before we now begin to check some of the things
• 31:11
  that need to be corrected, it is worthy of note
• 31:15
  that we salute the Body of Christ and salute the Church.
• 31:18
  That includes every man every woman who serves God in truth.
• 31:23
  That includes every kingdom, leader in politics, in business, that
• 31:27
  includes every father producing responsible children, mother producing responsible children,
• 31:33
  every captain of industry all together. Provided it is a
• 31:37
  contribution that has brought these commendations about the Church, then
• 31:42
  we deserve to at least give ourselves a little part
• 31:45
  in the.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Back to say, well done.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Is that true?
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Now, havn't brought that commendation?
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: My emphasis tonight is the Lord gave me this revelation
• 32:02
  to reveal seven deadly scenes that must be purged from
• 32:07
  the Church, the Church universal, the Church in Africa and
• 32:13
  the Church in Nigeria. As much as we have commended ourselves,
• 32:18
  it is important for us to be honest enough to
• 32:21
  allow that refine us fire to pass through us and
• 32:24
  to bring that podging. In John chapter fifteen, it says
• 32:27
  he that bears fruit, my Father will prune so that
• 32:31
  he will bear much. He will bear greater fruit he
• 32:35
  that piers food. When you bear food, they pune you
• 32:38
  so that you will even produce greater fruit. Hallelujah. Now
• 32:43
  I want you to listen to these seven I call
• 32:47
  them seven deadly scenes that must be purged from the church.
• 32:52
  This teaching tonight is not from a standpoint of self righteousness,
• 32:56
  for we are all bought products of His messy away together.
• 32:59
  The teaching to night is an attempt to show us,
• 33:02
  through the lens of the holiness and the purity of
• 33:05
  the Christ, the areas that we need to adjust in
• 33:08
  our lives, in our organizations to the point that we
• 33:12
  present a pride and a church that is purified. So
• 33:17
  as I take on this, I want you to listen
• 33:19
  very carefully to any one of the seven and as
• 33:22
  the Holy Spirit speaks to you as I run through
• 33:25
  this list. Now, I'm going to bring some of the challenges,
• 33:28
  and then I will profer very quickly what is the
• 33:32
  biblical solution.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Out of them? Are you ready?
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: Now?
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Scene number one sexual immorality and related.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Perversions.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Sexual immorality please write and related perversions. We talk about
• 33:50
  the related perversions now. First Thessalonian Chapter four, three to five,
• 33:58
  the first scene that needs to be pure fight from
• 34:00
  the body of Christ. Give us amplified. Let's read amplified.
• 34:05
  Then we read Acts fifteen, twenty eight, and twenty nine.
• 34:08
  For this is the will of God that you should
• 34:11
  be consecrated, separated, and set apart for pure and holy living.
• 34:17
  That you should abstain and shrink from all sexual vice.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: We're reading to five.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: That each of you should know how to possess, control,
• 34:28
  or manage its own body in consecration purity, separated from
• 34:33
  things profane and honor. Verse five the last verse not
• 34:37
  to be used in the passion of lost like the hidden,
• 34:40
  who are ignorant of the True God and have known
• 34:44
  knowledge of His will.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Give us Acts Chapter fifteen.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Place from verse twenty eight and twenty nine amplified still,
• 34:54
  for it seems good to the Holy Spirit and to
• 34:57
  us not to lay upon you any I need greater
• 35:00
  burden than the indispensable requirements. Uh huh, that you abstain
• 35:06
  from what has been sacrificed to idols and from tasting blood,
• 35:11
  and from eating the meat of animals that have been strangled,
• 35:14
  and from sexual impurity. If you keep yourself from these things,
• 35:19
  it says you do well.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah. Now please, I wanted to listen very carefully.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Sexual immorality from time am memorial has been part of
• 35:33
  society and it extends to all the organizations and even
• 35:37
  the individuals.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: I want to pay attention to.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: This. Sexual immorality is predicated on certain.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Facts that you must know. Please pay attention.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: The first thing you need to know is that the
• 35:53
  desire for intimacy I wrote here is not demonic. Most
• 35:58
  people have not studied this subject. I have taken the
• 36:02
  time to study this issue of sexual immorality. The desire
• 36:06
  for intimacy is not demonic. Now, that is the problem
• 36:11
  with this issue of lost and immorality, because other negative
• 36:16
  vices like lying and stealing. Any day anytime, lying is
• 36:20
  lying and it is bad. Any day anytime, please look up.
• 36:24
  Stealing is stealing and it is bad. But when it
• 36:27
  comes to the issue of sexual immorality, the intrinsic desire.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: For intimacy was not put there by the devil. It
• 36:36
  was put there by God.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: So it's not a.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Desire you can cast out of your life. Are we together?
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: It is only a desire that was created to be
• 36:46
  expressed within certain conditions. It is the presence or absence
• 36:51
  of the conditions that make it right or wrong, not
• 36:55
  the presence of the desire. Is someone learning now that
• 36:58
  what can be a dangerous thing right now the next moment,
• 37:03
  within the right condition of marriage can become the greatest
• 37:06
  blessing or one of the greatest blessing. Are we together?
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Stealing is stealing, Lying is lying, for instance.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: But when it has to do with the issue of
• 37:16
  sexual immorality, you have to understand that it was God
• 37:20
  that put the desire for intimacy in man. Hallelujah. This
• 37:27
  is very important and if you do not understand this,
• 37:32
  you are going to be fighting a battle that you
• 37:34
  do not even understand. Write this down. The spirit of
• 37:42
  lost and immorality, or the nature of lost and immorality
• 37:47
  is that it capitalizes, It capitalizes on this blessing that
• 37:54
  God has put within men and perverts it to the
• 37:58
  destruction of the victims. So it capitalizes on the presence
• 38:06
  of this desire that God has put in men and
• 38:09
  now pervents it for their destruction.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: If you're with me, say amen. Now.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Sexual immorality does not care whether you are old, does
• 38:23
  not care whether you are young, does not care whether
• 38:27
  you are an apostle, whether you are a prophet, whether
• 38:30
  you are good or bad. Sexual immorality is not about.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Being good or evil.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Is about exploiting, not a weakness, exploiting a provision that
• 38:42
  was put by God. And if not guarded within the
• 38:45
  frame of what I will teach you, you can be
• 38:48
  a nice person. You can be an evil person, and
• 38:51
  from a sexual standpoint, you will be victims of the
• 38:54
  same thing.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: Are we learning now? This is very, very powerful.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: It is a cancer that has destroyed society, destroyed great destinies.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: It is a cancer that has.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Destroyed people from ministry to business to politics. Noble people
• 39:13
  have crashed down, sometimes overnight because of this. Like I said,
• 39:18
  the goal is to expose us to it, not from
• 39:21
  a standpoint of condemnation, but to give us enlightenment and
• 39:25
  to supply us with the tools that will keep us strong.
• 39:28
  Are we together? Let me tell you this. No man
• 39:31
  will ever outgrow the temptation of sexual immorality. No man
• 39:38
  will outgrow being tempted. That is the point the devil
• 39:42
  will come once and again for as long as you
• 39:45
  are alive, because he knows that that nature is in
• 39:50
  every man, that desire that God puts, So Satan will
• 39:54
  be up and doing, creating scenarios and creating any and
• 39:58
  everything that who will exploit that provision. And for one
• 40:03
  who is ignorant are not equipped with scripture and with revelation,
• 40:08
  eventually you will be a victim.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Is someone learning it is a spirit.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: In researching for this, I came towards some statistics I
• 40:28
  don't even want to go and talk about right now,
• 40:32
  very terrible statistics that are not very very friendly and
• 40:35
  not very funny. But then I studied something in dealing
• 40:42
  with this subject. Do you know that, speaking within the
• 40:48
  context of sexual immorality, the way this spirit works is
• 40:54
  that once you are a young and an married person,
• 40:57
  the devil, the spirit of Lass ants by amplifying to
• 41:01
  an unusual degree. Are we together this desire that God
• 41:06
  puts Generally everything God gives man, he gives you power
• 41:10
  and control over whatever seems to go beyond your control,
• 41:15
  has been empowered by another spirit.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Are we together now?
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: So? The way the devil pushes once you are unmarried
• 41:23
  without a spouse, he will amplify to an unusual degree.
• 41:28
  And there may be biological explanations. I don't downplay, you know,
• 41:32
  research of medicine. We're not discussing medicine now. This is
• 41:35
  from a spiritual standpoint. I know there are things like
• 41:38
  hormonal imbalance and the rest. I don't want to go
• 41:40
  into those discussions. Are we together, but that generally speaking,
• 41:44
  he will amplify that desire beyond the control of an individual,
• 41:49
  and if not protected by wisdom, revelation and some of
• 41:52
  these kids I will show you, you will find out
• 41:54
  that you will be a victim. And then the moment
• 41:57
  you get married, he will now flip flip the side
• 42:02
  of the coin by taking away that desire. So you
• 42:05
  find out that you can see two people who sometimes
• 42:09
  are in the hordy to get married because they think
• 42:11
  they don't they want to keep themselves, and then they
• 42:13
  get married. Statistics who tell us, counselors and even men
• 42:16
  of God will tell you that sometimes once it happens,
• 42:19
  you find out that that desire seems to just evaporate
• 42:22
  and vurnish. It is all the structure of this spirit.
• 42:28
  Someone learning now very very important, now beyond just sexual immorality.
• 42:39
  There are other expressions of immorality, pornography, masturbation, all kinds
• 42:49
  of perversions. Sexual immorality may be the major issue, but
• 42:55
  there are many orthers, you see. The thing about the
• 42:58
  thing about sexual email morality is that it requires a
• 43:03
  number of conditions for that to happen. Number one, it
• 43:06
  is atmosphere dependent. Number two, you will need the mutual
• 43:10
  consent of the parties involved. But for things like pornography
• 43:14
  and masturbation, these things do not need all these extra things.
• 43:19
  So there are many people who for some reason have
• 43:22
  been able to survive sexual immorality, but pornography, masturbation and
• 43:30
  a lot of other bodily vices. Do you know, the
• 43:34
  Bible says a man that looks at a woman to
• 43:37
  lost after her in the mind of the spirit, he
• 43:40
  has already committed immorality. So there are others who may
• 43:44
  not physically act it out, but as far as God
• 43:48
  is concerned, they are victims because it is a state
• 43:52
  of perpetual emotional entertainment. Just like sexual immorality, pornography, masturbation,
• 44:03
  and so on. It does not care whether you are
• 44:05
  a man of God. It does not care whether you
• 44:08
  are married. It does not care whether you are single.
• 44:11
  It does not care whether you are young. It does
• 44:13
  not care whether you are old. If left on check,
• 44:17
  it will attack and wreck your life. It's someone learning
• 44:21
  now seeing number one sexual immorality and related perversions. There
• 44:25
  are other expressions of immorality is still under the group
• 44:29
  of immorality, drunkenness, drugs, every kind of harm that is
• 44:36
  inflicted in the body that is inconsistent with God's pattern.
• 44:42
  Are we together? So there are some who will say, well,
• 44:45
  I'm not sexually immoral, But then there are people who
• 44:48
  are victims of drugs, victims of alcoholism, victims of all
• 44:53
  kinds of vices. That's why it's written here sexual immorality
• 44:57
  and related perversions. I need not mention other extreme ones, unfortunately,
• 45:04
  but it is true in the world, and I hope
• 45:06
  and pray not the church extensions of extreme cases, like
• 45:11
  having affairs with little children and babies and animals and sodomy.
• 45:16
  You know that our world today is full of all
• 45:18
  kinds of things. The goal is not condemnation. The goal
• 45:22
  is to be able to expose this and to bring
• 45:25
  us to a point where we become free and free. Indeed,
• 45:29
  because I can tell you many people are not free.
• 45:32
  Are we together very quickly so that we deal with
• 45:35
  the other things. I want to give you five steps,
• 45:42
  five scriptural steps to be free from sexual immorality and
• 45:50
  every related perversion. And I want you to please listen
• 45:52
  and learn for yourself and for anybody. God may give
• 45:57
  you the privilege of helping. Are we together Number one?
• 46:04
  For you to be free from lost and immorality. The
• 46:07
  first thing that must happen to you is that you
• 46:10
  must admit it Psalms fifty one and verse seventeen. Brokenness
• 46:17
  is a necessary requirement if you're going to experience the
• 46:21
  salvation of God. On this wise, it says, the sacrifices
• 46:24
  of God, I hope you know. Psalm fifty one was
• 46:27
  the sum of David. When Prophet Nathan came to him
• 46:32
  and to tell him what had happened to him. He
• 46:35
  was broken, repented, crying with suncloth and ashes, and this
• 46:39
  was part of his contemplations. It says, the sacrifices of
• 46:43
  God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contract heart.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: Oh God, now will not despise admit it.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: You must come to that point where you admit it. Listen,
• 46:59
  let me tell you the truth By the privilege of
• 47:01
  God's grace. I can tell you I have cried with
• 47:03
  and prayed with many people. And do you know there
• 47:07
  are many people you see who are victims of sexual immorality,
• 47:12
  and on further examining, they have very sincere hats. Some
• 47:16
  of them grew up from families where the first place
• 47:19
  they had that that was wrong was even in church
• 47:23
  because it was a common practice. There are cultures that
• 47:27
  promoted as part of the cultural activities.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Is that true?
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: So it is very difficult. That's why in dealing with people,
• 47:34
  you must never throw away the place of compassion and messy.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: There are people who were left. They grew up on
• 47:41
  their own and by themselves.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: They became victims of sexual exposures even before teen age.
• 47:51
  Some were victims from those they grew up under that
• 47:53
  trusted them. Now, there's no point bringing sad memories. But
• 47:56
  the point is that for you to be free from
• 48:00
  lost and sexual immorality and any expression of it, you
• 48:06
  must get to a point of admittance that I need help,
• 48:11
  My life needs the messy of God. Step number two
• 48:15
  very quickly. If you're learning, say amen, step number two.
• 48:20
  You must set aside time for a retreat as soon
• 48:24
  as possible, set aside time for a retreat. A retreat
• 48:29
  gives you the platform to pray, to study scripture, to fast,
• 48:35
  and to be broken and repentant before God, your maker.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you this? I think it was.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: I can't remember. The Man of God now was listening
• 48:44
  to years ago and he set any weakness or addressed
• 48:48
  will eventually bring you down.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: It is not the weakness, it is living it. And
• 48:53
  assuming there is no problem.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: If someone learning now, you must set aside time for
• 49:02
  a retreat. A retreat is a time alone with God.
• 49:06
  Can I tell you when you are dealing with something
• 49:09
  this can sell us. Nothing should be too important. You
• 49:13
  can say I am too busy, because this sustains the potential.
• 49:17
  I'm going to tell you. Do you know the assignment
• 49:20
  of sexual immorality? I will tell you the assignment of
• 49:24
  sexual immorality. It's not the sex that destroys you. There
• 49:28
  is something it does to you spiritually. When the devil
• 49:33
  wants to attach you, there is a threshold level of
• 49:38
  spiritual fire that if you possess it cannot allow for
• 49:42
  a demonic attack. And so the way that it happens
• 49:46
  is to introduce this to your life, and it begins
• 49:49
  to bring you down to a level spiritually where an
• 49:53
  attack upon your life any dimension becomes possible. Way together.
• 50:01
  One of the things he may interest you to know
• 50:04
  is that there is a strong relationship between the spirit
• 50:07
  of immorality and the spirit of untimely death.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: There is a strong relationship.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: So Number one, admit it with humility and brokenness, crying
• 50:21
  to the God of your salvation. Number two. A retreat
• 50:24
  is your next part of call, a sincere time alone
• 50:28
  with God, to cry out your heart before your maker
• 50:37
  in prayer, in fasting, in genuine repentance. When Jonah went
• 50:43
  to Nineveh and announced to them the imminent destruction that
• 50:47
  was coming upon them, the Bible says, immediately the king
• 50:50
  of Ninive declared a first, every one faster till the animals,
• 50:55
  and all of them wore cycloths and ashes and cried
• 50:59
  before God. The thing about God is the moment there
• 51:02
  is brokenness. His messy is ready to come. Is someone
• 51:06
  learning Let me recommend their scripture for you that you
• 51:10
  use for your retreat Psalm fifty one. The whole of
• 51:13
  Psalm fifty one is the sum of messy. This was
• 51:17
  the cry, the pouring out he said, have messy upon me,
• 51:20
  Oh God, according to thy loving kindness, according to the
• 51:24
  multitude of thy tender messies, blots out my transgression. And
• 51:28
  then it says in verse to watch me thoroughly from
• 51:31
  mine iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Verse three,
• 51:34
  it says, four, I acknowledge my transgression, and my sin
• 51:40
  is ever before me. Verse four against thee, thee only
• 51:44
  have I sinned? And don't this evil in thy sight?
• 51:47
  That that might just be justified when thou speakest and declare,
• 51:51
  when thou judgest. Verse five, it says, behold, I was
• 51:55
  shaping in iniquity. Look at the psalm is pouring his
• 51:58
  heart before God and saying, listen, this was a tendency
• 52:01
  that has been fighting me for many years. He couldn't
• 52:04
  find the expression because I was not yet king. Can
• 52:07
  I tell you you need to cry for God's messy
• 52:10
  because there are many people who are not victims of this,
• 52:13
  not because the devil is not attacking you. The opportunity
• 52:17
  that gives you room to execute it has not yet come,
• 52:21
  and the spirit of loss can lie quietly for decades,
• 52:26
  waiting for the day you are exalted. I can't tell
• 52:29
  you what came upon David, did not come upon him
• 52:32
  in the palace. It was there right from when he
• 52:34
  was in the bush. Who will come to you in
• 52:37
  the bush? When they are alliance?
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: And the rest?
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Are we together? So that this immediately should damage any
• 52:46
  sense of self righteousness of believing.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: Oh I think I'm fine? Ah ah. There are many people.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: If you are exposed to one tent their conditions, you
• 52:56
  will fall like a pack of god.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: COYNONI are we together the purified bride?
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: So number one, you must admit and acknowledge that you
• 53:09
  need help and the messy of God. It does not
• 53:12
  matter whether it happened through your carelessness giving into the flesh.
• 53:16
  It does not matter whether it's a product of an
• 53:18
  attack and spirit. It does not matter whether it has
• 53:21
  come as a result of foundations and ancestry patterns.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: Look at our dear sister, the woman who shared this.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: You see that her legs were broken, same position, same time,
• 53:32
  the sister, the same thing happening. There are strong demonic patterns.
• 53:36
  Let me tell you the truth. Except you deal with
• 53:38
  this by revelation, you can be a man of God.
• 53:41
  You can be a leader, you can be a father,
• 53:44
  You can be a business man, that spirit from its
• 53:47
  ancestry will haunt you until you use spiritual intelligence.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: To deal with it. Number three.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Help now. Number one I said, admit and acknowledge it
• 54:04
  your need for help. Number two, you must set out
• 54:06
  time for a personal retreat, a time of honest appraisal,
• 54:11
  flog it out with destiny, with all sincerity between you
• 54:15
  and God.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: Number three.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: Where it persists and is still beyond your control, you
• 54:21
  most seek help. You most seek help. You must be
• 54:25
  honest enough to seek help. You must seek help. Now
• 54:33
  let me post here for a minute and just comment
• 54:35
  very quickly. I'm dwelling on this issue of sexual immorality
• 54:38
  because I just want us to deal with it a
• 54:40
  little bit before we now discuss the rest. It's a
• 54:43
  very serious issue. Do you know, please look up? Do
• 54:46
  you know that in seeking help? I submit to you
• 54:50
  that there are many people who desire to seek help.
• 54:53
  But the reason is history has shown that especially wemen
• 54:59
  of God have not sustained the kind of intelligence and
• 55:03
  maturity to manage people's private and painful issues. Is that true?
• 55:08
  There are many people who have been wounded because they
• 55:11
  came and open up to their prophet, their man of God,
• 55:14
  and said listen, I think there is something I'm struggling with.
• 55:18
  Prayer partners, accountability partners, mentors, men of God have in
• 55:24
  many regards disappointed the trust that people have had for them.
• 55:28
  That is the reason why you see today people have
• 55:30
  resorted to flying abroad and going to one meet therapist
• 55:34
  at least who will deal with you professionally and don't
• 55:37
  even know you, rather than coming to cry to say,
• 55:40
  Man of God, I think there is a challenge in
• 55:42
  my life. Many of us will pray and say, oh,
• 55:45
  let's pray Father, the devil cannot take over this person.
• 55:47
  And later on before evening you have told your wife,
• 55:51
  as a spouse, you have told your husband, Ah, this
• 55:54
  our prayer group, my God, God is bringing a lot
• 55:57
  of deliverance. You see the problem now. And then the
• 56:01
  person who tell another person that said, don't tell anybody,
• 56:04
  I would deny. I don't know you when anything backfire us.
• 56:10
  Let me tell you the truth. It takes more than
• 56:13
  being anointed to help people. You must be trained. We
• 56:17
  must incorporate this in our mentorship platforms as we build people.
• 56:21
  Anointing our revelation is not the only thing that qualifies
• 56:24
  for spiritual leadership. People must sustain psychological knowledge, the maturity
• 56:29
  and know how to manage sensitive things. Some of these
• 56:32
  people are in positions where managing and dealing with these
• 56:36
  issues can have severe effects on them, their organizations, their platforms.
• 56:43
  You're a man of God here listening or within this place.
• 56:46
  We must know that when people open their pain up
• 56:48
  to you, it is a trust you must protect.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: Are we learning? But I want to tell you this
• 56:57
  help is powerful.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: It is amazing how something that looks like a mountain
• 57:02
  can be deflated in the presence of genuine help.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: There are people who are.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: Carrying spirits, so counselling will not solve the problem.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: Counselling. You may walk around.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: Counselling and it's okay, this positive confession. You will speak
• 57:16
  that in Jesus name, I'm okay, and that spirit will
• 57:19
  just wait at the door of the counseling as soon
• 57:21
  as you are coming out. Before then, it has got
• 57:24
  that's seven orders, that's what the Bible says, and it
• 57:26
  will land on you in a way that you cannot imagine.
• 57:29
  That's why, whether sexual immorality or people who are on
• 57:32
  drugs when you are talking to them, have you seen
• 57:34
  how quiet you just keep quiet? Will you smoke again, No,
• 57:37
  will you drink me now that that's the last time
• 57:39
  by evening?
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: Do you know how this spirit works?
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: Even if they travel to a region where they don't
• 57:45
  know anybody, the spirit will coordinate a way. They must
• 57:49
  know who sells what's a spirit?
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: So number one admits Number two a retreat.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: Set aside time to pray and fast and study scripture
• 58:10
  and cry out your heart in genuine brokenness and repentance
• 58:14
  before God. Number three, if and when the leader rises,
• 58:18
  seek help. Seek help from mature people, your pastor. Seek
• 58:22
  help from your spiritual father. Seek help from mentors, people
• 58:25
  who have demonstrated maturity to be able to handle those issues.
• 58:30
  Number four very quickly. Key Number four is what many
• 58:34
  people avoid and ignore, and it is the reason why
• 58:37
  their deliverance is not complete. Number four Create rules and
• 58:43
  boundaries in and around your life. Create rules and boundaries
• 58:49
  in and around your life. Proverabs twenty five and verse
• 58:52
  twenty eight. Please twenty five twenty eight proverbs. He that
• 58:58
  had no rule over his own spirit is like a
• 59:01
  city that is broken down and without walls.
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: Create rules. When you entire.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: Relationship with your spouse intended to be create rules, Agree
• 59:13
  and pray and say, in the name of Jesus Christ,
• 59:15
  who keep this relationship here up until marriage. Create rules.
• 59:19
  Don't allow your emotions to suggest from beginning. Set to
• 59:23
  lead that by the grace of God, as God grants message,
• 59:26
  this is how it will be. If you're with me,
• 59:28
  say amen. You must create rules, and you must create
• 59:32
  boundaries in and around your life. It's not enough to
• 59:37
  repent before God. It's not enough to now be renewed
• 59:41
  in your decision. There are systems that you must create,
• 59:46
  especially for sexual immorality. Sexual immorality is highly atmosphere dependent.
• 59:52
  You cannot stand and sleep with somebody in front of
• 59:54
  a police station or in front of a law court.
• 59:57
  The atmosphere is not right. Maybe difficult to sleep with
• 1:00:08
  somebody when don when he's playing Allelujah. Now, please write,
• 1:00:18
  please write. Let's let's get to work. There's a lot
• 1:00:20
  for us to do. Don't just laugh. I hope he's
• 1:00:23
  entering you tonight. There is no tell them. God is
• 1:00:27
  speaking to all of us. Are we together? Pay attention?
• 1:00:32
  Please So the final encouragement for you is connect to
• 1:00:38
  a larger family of believers.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: Community.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: Kingdom living is the key to sustaining kingdom values. Community
• 1:00:49
  kingdom living is the key to sustaining kingdom values. Hebrews
• 1:00:54
  Chapter ten and verse twenty five amplified, Please give it
• 1:00:57
  to us Hebrews ten twenty five amplified. Not forsaking or
• 1:01:05
  neglecting to assemble together as many believers, as is the
• 1:01:11
  habit of some people, but admonishing, warning, urging, and encouraging
• 1:01:16
  one another, and all the more faithfully as you see
• 1:01:20
  the day approaching, It says, not forsaking the assembling of believers.
• 1:01:26
  When you connect to a larger body of believers, it
• 1:01:29
  can help you preserve your kingdom values.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: Are we together? Yes, very very powerful and important.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: So let me run through the step finally, that to
• 1:01:40
  be free from the spirit of lost sexual immorality, masturbation, pornography,
• 1:01:46
  and all kinds of vices, whatever it is. The first
• 1:01:50
  thing is you must admit that there is need for help.
• 1:01:52
  Number two, you must be able to set a time
• 1:01:58
  of retreat of brokenness, repent times before God.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: Number three seek help.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: Number four you must create rules and boundaries in and
• 1:02:10
  around your life. And then number five, connect to a
• 1:02:14
  larger family of believers as God helped someone. Please lay
• 1:02:19
  your hand on your head in one minute and cry
• 1:02:21
  to the Lord Father. I you obtain messy, preserve me.
• 1:02:25
  Go ahead and pray, preserve me, Preserve me. If the
• 1:02:30
  message has hit you, and perhaps your life has been
• 1:02:32
  that way, do not be discouraged. Remember the one who
• 1:02:36
  God loves is the one he chastises. Lord, I obtain grace.
• 1:02:39
  Someone is praying. I obtain grace. Deliver me from sexual immorality,
• 1:02:44
  Deliver me from lost. For you, it may not be
• 1:02:47
  sexual immorality, but how about lost on godly thoughts that
• 1:02:51
  roam around your mind seeking for an opportunity to be executed.
• 1:02:55
  You can live and work in freedom. Please, you are
• 1:03:00
  praying from the depth of your heart. For some of
• 1:03:03
  you is drunkenness, alcoholism, some of you drugs and all
• 1:03:09
  kinds of vices. The purified pride must be free from this.
• 1:03:13
  Don't say it does not matter. The purified church must
• 1:03:18
  obtain grace from God.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: Please pray.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter whether you are a pastor apostle, prophet. God
• 1:03:26
  can give you a new beginning. Provide that your heart
• 1:03:29
  is open to cry. You are following online, you're watching
• 1:03:32
  from any nation.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: I like you to pray. This is not a message
• 1:03:36
  onto condemnation.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: It is a sincere admittance that will lead to purity, holiness,
• 1:03:42
  and lift you to a higher level of spiritual exploits.
• 1:03:46
  Someone is praying, Lord, show me messy, Show me messy,
• 1:03:50
  Show me messy.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: I cry onto you. You may want to extend that
• 1:03:57
  prayer to someone you know and love. Lord.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: Show my spouse mercy, probably Lord, show my husband, my wife,
• 1:04:04
  Show my children mercy, Show my parents messy, Show my
• 1:04:08
  pastor mersy, Show my CEO messy, Show this politician. Mercy
• 1:04:15
  is not a time of condemnation. The fall of one
• 1:04:18
  is the fall of all. The rising of one is
• 1:04:20
  the rising of all. We're a body that is interested
• 1:04:23
  in our corporate growth. I like you to pray from
• 1:04:25
  the depth of your heart. Pray for everybody you know.
• 1:04:32
  Prayer groups, churches, ministries, past us, leaders, politicians, heads of government.
• 1:04:41
  No one, No one is beyond being tempted with sexual immorality.
• 1:04:46
  No one is beyond being tempted with other immoral perversions.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: Has nothing to do with being good or bad.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: Pray that those who are bound by any and all
• 1:04:56
  kinds of addictions let it be broken in the name
• 1:04:58
  of Jesus. Praying for yourself and you are praying for
• 1:05:02
  them praying for the body of Christ. Allelujah in Jesus's name.
• 1:05:13
  I pray saying number one that the body of Christ
• 1:05:17
  needs to be purified from sexual immorality and related perversions.
• 1:05:23
  Sin number two. I'm giving you seven very quickly, the
• 1:05:27
  second scene that the body of Christ needs to be
• 1:05:31
  purified from. Indeed, the church is lost for money and
• 1:05:36
  material things. Please write it down. Lost for money and
• 1:05:40
  material things Philippian chapter three. Let's hurry up, please. From
• 1:05:45
  verse seventeen to nineteen, the lost for money and material things,
• 1:05:52
  it says, brethren, be follow us together of me and
• 1:05:56
  mark them which work so as you have for an example. Ahah,
• 1:06:05
  I'm trying to make sure that I pull these things.
• 1:06:07
  Mark chapter eight, Mark chapter eight and verse thirty six. Yes,
• 1:06:18
  what shall it profit a man? Is it in your Bible?
• 1:06:23
  If he gains the whole world that's a business terminology
• 1:06:26
  and loses his own soul. This is another cancer that
• 1:06:32
  is sweeping the body of Christ, and we need God
• 1:06:35
  to show us messy. We are victims of it as
• 1:06:39
  men of God, as churches, as believers. The loss for
• 1:06:44
  money and material things firstimotive chapter six please and verse
• 1:06:48
  six to ten. Lost for money and material things first
• 1:06:54
  Timotive six six to ten. But godliness with contentment, the
• 1:06:58
  Bible says, is great gain, for we brought nothing into
• 1:07:02
  this world. Please look at me. Have you ever seen
• 1:07:05
  a naked baby come out of his mother's womb holding
• 1:07:08
  dollars or holding gold, and say, I came from heaven.
• 1:07:10
  Leave my thing for me. Everybody comes naked. And have
• 1:07:15
  you ever seen a dead man who is the party?
• 1:07:17
  And as soon as they're burying him, he just riches
• 1:07:20
  and draws his gold chain to his grave. It does
• 1:07:22
  not happen from birth. And at your point of transition
• 1:07:26
  you are empty. This should give us wisdom. Already are
• 1:07:31
  we together? Let's finish up that scripture, for we brought
• 1:07:35
  nothing into this world, and it is certain we can
• 1:07:38
  carry nothing out, Uh huh. And having food and Raymond,
• 1:07:42
  let us there with be content nine Watch this, it says,
• 1:07:47
  But day that will be rich fall into temptations. I
• 1:07:50
  will explain this for you, and a snare, and into
• 1:07:53
  many foolish and hurtful lost which drown men into destruction
• 1:07:58
  and perdition.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: For the love of money, the word here is a ross.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: And on godly affinity and attachment to money is the
• 1:08:08
  foundation of every kind of evil. It is the strengthener
• 1:08:12
  of all kinds of evil, he said, which well, some
• 1:08:16
  conveted after have aired from the faith and have passed
• 1:08:20
  themselves through with many sorrows. Please look up. I believe
• 1:08:25
  in prosperity. It is God's desire to bless his people.
• 1:08:30
  Materialism is not having materials. Materialism is the influence of
• 1:08:36
  materials upon your relationship. You see, the Bible tells us
• 1:08:41
  that God and Mammon, this spirit that controls worldly world,
• 1:08:46
  that it seeks for allegiance. Money does not just want
• 1:08:49
  to end up in your pocket. Money wants you to
• 1:08:52
  end up in its pocket. Are we together now, Yes,
• 1:08:59
  When our entire salmons, our entire lives, our entire conferences,
• 1:09:05
  our entire conventions, with all due respect and honor to
• 1:09:09
  the Body of Christ, when everything becomes about money, you
• 1:09:13
  cannot hold an evangelistic crusade. And right there before souls come,
• 1:09:18
  we're talking about money. There is no business between evangelism
• 1:09:22
  and talking about prosperity principles that should be in a
• 1:09:25
  believers conference. Those who have now been saved, then it
• 1:09:29
  is part of the groud process that mentors and builds
• 1:09:32
  them allelujah some of us. Yea, as you are looking
• 1:09:37
  at me. You can kill because of money. Are we together? Yes?
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: Our affinity for money.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: You can have ten million in your account if ten
• 1:09:47
  thousand is missing, you can go around even in the
• 1:09:50
  night with torchlight to sleep and wake up in the morning.
• 1:09:53
  You will not wait till it's morning. You most complete
• 1:09:56
  that ten million, ten thousand affinity material things. This has
• 1:10:05
  controlled who and what we marry. This has controlled who
• 1:10:10
  and what we get. Money can call you leave Nigeria
• 1:10:13
  and come to UK, can say.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, go back again.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: Money controls people around the world like a remote control. Listen,
• 1:10:19
  let me tell you the truth I've taught you on
• 1:10:21
  financial principles.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: It is not sarcasm. God wants to bless.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: Us, but not by becoming so emotionally obsessed and attached
• 1:10:30
  with money. There are people the moment they became wealthy,
• 1:10:34
  they told their wives from today, you will not stay
• 1:10:36
  with me, go out into the other room, because I
• 1:10:39
  don't trust anybody.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: I've suffered too much. Listen to me.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: You can be prosperous, lay off gold as does beyond
• 1:10:56
  your wildest imagination, and yet not be attached to it.
• 1:11:00
  The goal of bringing this right now is to be
• 1:11:03
  able to teach you that God wants you to prosper.
• 1:11:07
  Marketing poverty as a sign of holiness and piety is inaccurate. No,
• 1:11:13
  if poverty were good, some of it to be found
• 1:11:15
  in heaven, and since there is none of it found there,
• 1:11:18
  it means it did not come from there.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: Are we together now?
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: So I'm not teaching you from a standpoint of an
• 1:11:27
  irresponsible man of God who is mindful of the reality
• 1:11:30
  of the times. I understand, and there are scriptural strategies,
• 1:11:35
  and for as long as I live, among the many
• 1:11:38
  mentorship teachings that you will receive is empowerment. I am vocal,
• 1:11:43
  and I am hon a shame and honor apologetic about
• 1:11:47
  the blessing of God's people. It says someone, I will
• 1:11:49
  never change till I see his face. My assignment is
• 1:11:52
  to balance you, to see to it that it does
• 1:11:55
  not become obsession, because we need to balance this. For
• 1:11:59
  many believe us our obsession, the reason why we go
• 1:12:02
  to church and the entire scope of our Christian.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: Pursuit is money.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: It's the reason why people can steal, people can do
• 1:12:10
  anything because of money, and sadly, in many Christian circles.
• 1:12:15
  Respectfully speaking, the major index for measuring faith is wealth.
• 1:12:21
  So if your faith is working, let me see it
• 1:12:23
  by the car you are driving. If your faith is working,
• 1:12:26
  let me see it by the house. If the man
• 1:12:28
  of God, it shouldn't be while we continue to reject poverty,
• 1:12:37
  we must cry and pray that God will grant us
• 1:12:39
  grace even by his messy. To be people who can
• 1:12:43
  look at money is the reason why many believers compromise.
• 1:12:48
  Someone will dangle one million and you say, ah, I'd
• 1:12:51
  rather enjoy it now and tell God sorry later. The
• 1:12:58
  body of Christ needs to be delivered from lost for
• 1:13:03
  money and material things. Seeing number three is God helping us.
• 1:13:13
  Let me tell you the truth before we go to
• 1:13:15
  number three. The cure for lost for money and material
• 1:13:20
  things is number one. To be properly mentored on the
• 1:13:25
  Kingdom's pathway to wealth and abundance, you can do well
• 1:13:30
  to listen to my teaching the Power to get Wealth.
• 1:13:33
  We have done several teachings along this line. You would
• 1:13:36
  observe in that teaching that I taught you that the
• 1:13:39
  first law, the first spiritual law for wealth, that abordance
• 1:13:42
  is not typing, It is not giving. The first law
• 1:13:47
  is the law of absolute surrender until you are dead
• 1:13:52
  to yourself, dead to the flesh, and a life on too. God.
• 1:13:55
  Your obeying business principles is simply but gain an investment
• 1:13:59
  you are doing with God. So there are many people
• 1:14:03
  who bring tide and bring offering as a bribe as
• 1:14:06
  an exchange. God, you better see it. I'm dropping it,
• 1:14:09
  and you drop it and go back and say God,
• 1:14:10
  I'm waiting, And God says, what do you really love
• 1:14:13
  the money or me? The law of absolute surrender? They
• 1:14:17
  gave of themselves first the Macedonian Church, and then they
• 1:14:21
  gave up their substance. So now number three are we learning.
• 1:14:28
  The third sin that the bride of Christ, which is
• 1:14:31
  the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, must be pushed
• 1:14:33
  from is the sin of witchcraft and extra biblical practices.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: Please write it down. This is the third.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: This one is a very serious one. It's God blessing us.
• 1:14:45
  Already show us the ancient path. Will you lead us
• 1:14:52
  along it turn highway? We want to fall the ways
• 1:14:59
  of cheese. We want to and yours show us the
• 1:15:07
  shan Will you leaders along e turnal highway? We want
• 1:15:16
  to fall? All the food steps of Jesus, we want
• 1:15:21
  to and Deuteronomy chapter eighteen. Let's hurry up from verse nine.
• 1:15:27
  The third scene that the body of Christ needs to
• 1:15:30
  be purified from is the scene of witchcraft and extra
• 1:15:36
  biblical practices. When thou art come into the land which
• 1:15:42
  the Lord thy God giveth thee reading to fourteen, it says,
• 1:15:45
  thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of
• 1:15:49
  those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone
• 1:15:55
  that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through fire,
• 1:16:00
  or that used divination, or an observer of times, or
• 1:16:04
  an enchanter or a witch next verse, or a charmer,
• 1:16:09
  or a consultant with familiar spirits, or a wizard or
• 1:16:13
  a necromnsa verse twelve. For all that do these things
• 1:16:18
  an abomination onto the Lord. And because of these abominations,
• 1:16:22
  the Lord that God, don't drive them out from before
• 1:16:26
  the thirteen that shall be perfect with the Lord that God.
• 1:16:31
  In fact, we can stop. There are we together. Exodus
• 1:16:37
  chapter thirteen. Exodus thirteen, let's start from verse one. Is
• 1:16:43
  it keel thirteen? I meant to say, is it keel thirteen?
• 1:16:50
  Ezekiel chapter thirteen and the Word of the Lord came
• 1:16:58
  on to me, saying, two, son of man, profess high,
• 1:17:03
  against the prophets of Israel, that prophestes high, and said,
• 1:17:07
  thou onto them, that prophessi, out of their own hearts,
• 1:17:10
  here ye the word of the Lord. Verse three, thought Saith,
• 1:17:14
  the Lord God war onto the foolish prophets that followed
• 1:17:18
  their own spirits and have seen nothing. Verse four. All
• 1:17:22
  israel thy prophets are like foxes in the deserts uh huh.
• 1:17:27
  Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made
• 1:17:30
  up for the hedge of the House of Israel to
• 1:17:33
  stand in the battle.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: You know in the day of the Lord.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: Verse six, they have seen vanity and lying divination, saying
• 1:17:41
  the Lord Saith, and the Lord had not sent them,
• 1:17:45
  and they have made orthers to hope that they would
• 1:17:48
  confirm the world. Verse seven were reading to ten, have
• 1:17:52
  ye not seen a vain vision? And have ye not
• 1:17:55
  spoken a lying divination? Whereas ye say the Lord said
• 1:17:59
  it all be it I have not spoken. Verse eight.
• 1:18:03
  Therefore to say it the Lord God, because ye have
• 1:18:06
  spoken vanity and sein lies. Therefore behold, I am against you,
• 1:18:11
  say it the Lord. Verse nine, it says, and my
• 1:18:16
  hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity and
• 1:18:20
  that divine lies, and shall not be in the assembly
• 1:18:23
  of my people. Neither shall they be written in the
• 1:18:26
  writings of the House of Israel, neither shall they enter
• 1:18:30
  into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that
• 1:18:32
  I am the Lord by God. Verse ten, it says,
• 1:18:38
  because even because they have seduced my people, say in peace,
• 1:18:43
  and there was no peace, and one built up a world,
• 1:18:46
  and low others have dubbed it and with on tempered mortar.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: Let's add eleven. The last verse.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: It says, say onto them which dubed it with on
• 1:18:56
  tempered mortar, that it shall fall and shall be an
• 1:18:59
  over flowing shower. And you know this, and that he
• 1:19:02
  was rending judgment upon them the prophets that lie. The
• 1:19:06
  word prophet yet does not just mean prophetic office. It
• 1:19:10
  includes any and all men of God, and any and
• 1:19:13
  all leaders. In Acts chapter sixteen, a very popular scripture.
• 1:19:17
  You know about that. From verse sixteen, the Bible talks
• 1:19:20
  about a young damn cell who had the spirit of divination.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: Give us Acts sixteen sixteen. We're reading to eighteen.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that as we went to prayer,
• 1:19:31
  a certain damn self possessed with a spirit of divination?
• 1:19:35
  Possessed with what a spirit of divination met us which
• 1:19:39
  brought her masters much gain? By soothsaying the same followed
• 1:19:45
  Paul and Us and Christ, saying, look at the accuracy
• 1:19:48
  of her prophecy. These men are the servants of the
• 1:19:51
  Most High God. Was it a lie which show us
• 1:19:55
  the way of salvation? Was it a lie that was
• 1:19:58
  the best summary of the assignment there? And yet the
• 1:20:01
  spirit that was behind it was the spirit of divination
• 1:20:04
  the Bible says and deeds?
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: Did she many days? But Paul, being grieved, turned.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: And said to the spirit by commanded the name of
• 1:20:14
  Jesus Christ to come out of her, and the spirit
• 1:20:16
  came out the same hour. Please look up. Let me
• 1:20:20
  tell you the truth. It is no news, and it
• 1:20:23
  is nothing to shy away from that. Not all who
• 1:20:28
  named the name of Christ, not all who are involved
• 1:20:31
  in ministry and spiritual leadership, are sincerely from God. There
• 1:20:36
  is no need.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: It's not about prejudice or biases. But let me say this.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: There are people who have mixed the baby under bad
• 1:20:44
  water and called everybody who prophesies, everybody who works miracles,
• 1:20:50
  anybody with an unusual manifestation of the grace of God
• 1:20:54
  upon his life. It is easy for society to brand
• 1:20:57
  you and to say there's something wrong with you. It
• 1:21:00
  is amazing how we say we believe in God. It
• 1:21:02
  is amazing how we say we believe in all the
• 1:21:04
  miracles that happen in the Bible, and yet when they
• 1:21:07
  happen here and now we are afraid of them, it
• 1:21:10
  means we never believed it.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: Are we together? It is no news that many people.
• 1:21:16
  Let me tell you this.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: I teach the school of ministry that when it has
• 1:21:20
  to do with purity of vessels, there are three kinds
• 1:21:23
  of people. Number One, there are those we call the
• 1:21:25
  pure breed, those who sincerely love God and have worked
• 1:21:29
  in keeping with the divine patterns that make for the
• 1:21:32
  purity of ministry. They have not soiled their hands with
• 1:21:35
  divination or any satanic thing. Number two, there are those
• 1:21:39
  who are ino sentenced, since here their call is genuine,
• 1:21:42
  but wrong mentorship or pressure or ignorance led them to
• 1:21:47
  go and fraternize with groups, associations, or mentorship platforms that
• 1:21:52
  introduce them. So these are people who are not evil,
• 1:21:55
  they are only corrupted. Then the third category are people
• 1:22:00
  who from the inception they were not of God? Are
• 1:22:04
  we together now? So it is important to create this divide.
• 1:22:08
  Do not watch anybody walking supernaturally in the power of God,
• 1:22:12
  or prophesying, or with an unusual dimension of the operation
• 1:22:16
  of the spirit, and just brand them and said this
• 1:22:19
  a demonic.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: It is not so.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: If Jesus were alive and he walked on earth, would
• 1:22:24
  have called him heretic, as the scribes did. Are we together?
• 1:22:28
  Look at the many things Jesus did, He's part on
• 1:22:31
  the ground. Would you sit down for a man of God,
• 1:22:33
  even Jesus Christ. What kind of the Jesus who spit
• 1:22:36
  on the ground and rob it on your eyes and
• 1:22:38
  say go to a river? Does that look like compassion? It?
• 1:22:41
  They will lead me there? And yet the Bible says,
• 1:22:43
  he leads me besides stilwaters. Now he's sending me a saying,
• 1:22:46
  go by yourself. Are we together? Many times we love
• 1:22:54
  Jesus just because he is not here. If he comes
• 1:22:57
  to the earth after one week, many of us will
• 1:22:59
  be tired and say, go back.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: We don't understand you a gain.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: But I can tell you the truth by the authority
• 1:23:08
  of scripture and the evidences that Scripture show that there
• 1:23:12
  are people who have fraternized with all kinds of dark
• 1:23:16
  powers and demony things. Now, let me tell you this,
• 1:23:20
  Please look up in the kingdom. It is not all
• 1:23:24
  about results. The pathway that leads to that result is
• 1:23:28
  how God is glorified, not the result in itself. There
• 1:23:32
  is a way you can practice healing, practice, deliverance, practice
• 1:23:37
  your faith life in a way that it is an
• 1:23:40
  extra biblical practice. The believer is bound to the provisions
• 1:23:44
  that scripture allows.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 7: Now?
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: All things are lawful, but the Bible says all things
• 1:23:50
  are not expedient. That means to be a sound man
• 1:23:53
  of God. It's not about clamoring for acceptance. But it's
• 1:23:57
  important to limit your operation in mysterially and in any
• 1:24:01
  kind of spiritual leadership to the provisions that the Bible allows. Now,
• 1:24:09
  the truth is that if you are a man of
• 1:24:10
  the spirit, you are going to be led of the spirit,
• 1:24:14
  And sometimes you will be led of the Spirit in
• 1:24:16
  a way that may be strange to the natural man.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: I must tell you that.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: But you see, the beautiful thing about the Holy Spirit
• 1:24:24
  is that the purity of His leadership to you will
• 1:24:26
  be known by those those that you are manifesting, no
• 1:24:30
  matter how strange it is, they will have a witness
• 1:24:33
  of the spirit that you are not acting based on
• 1:24:36
  the influence of a spirit of divination. For instance, there
• 1:24:42
  is no instant maturity in the Bible. People do not
• 1:24:46
  become matured instantly. So for you to be greatly used
• 1:24:50
  by God, there must be a track record of growth.
• 1:24:53
  Even if you are called into the prophetic and the
• 1:24:55
  Apostolic ministry, there is no instant maturity. Nobody comes out
• 1:24:59
  of nowhere. The Bible is full of the pathway for
• 1:25:03
  spiritual growth and manifestation. There must be a track record
• 1:25:06
  of growth and Jesus increase Look two fifty two in wisdom, stature,
• 1:25:12
  and favor with God and with men. The way we
• 1:25:20
  have marketed ministry, especially with the Gospel of wealth and abundance, unfortunately,
• 1:25:24
  is what has driven Nigeria and even Africa into the
• 1:25:28
  such especially the Apostolic and the prophetic, because they seem
• 1:25:33
  to look like the most charismatic of the fivefold. If
• 1:25:36
  I say I am an apostle or prophet and I prophesy,
• 1:25:40
  chances that somebody can give me a kind one day,
• 1:25:42
  can give me a building in one day, are we together.
• 1:25:47
  Someone can come to see me, maybe a governor or
• 1:25:49
  a president, man of God.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: Now that is election time. Should I go?
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: And most times the man will not come alone. He
• 1:25:56
  may come with honorarium to come and greet the profit
• 1:25:59
  of God. And now aurium can be serious. You can
• 1:26:01
  carry a man's destiny and give you one day. So
• 1:26:06
  many people because of that. I'm not being sarcastic. Many
• 1:26:09
  people because of that when they fail in every other
• 1:26:12
  area of their life, they said, you know what this thing?
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: I am tired.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: Have you noticed that every time there is a corruption
• 1:26:19
  in the prophetic, the apostolic, or spiritual leadership, the end
• 1:26:23
  result is always money, material things, fame.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: I want a name. I want everybody to know I
• 1:26:29
  am the person.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: Seeing Number three witchcraft an extra biblical practices right for reference.
• 1:26:46
  We may not read it for time. Acts Chapter eight,
• 1:26:48
  from verse nine down to twenty three. You want to
• 1:26:51
  enjoy the reading, read from amplified. There was a sorcerer
• 1:26:54
  called Simeon when Philip went down to Samaria, the Bible says,
• 1:26:59
  and he preached right to them, and the Bible says
• 1:27:01
  they with one accord gave he seeing and hearing the miracles,
• 1:27:06
  which he did, and there was somebody called Simon. He
• 1:27:10
  was a sorcerer. The Bible says he made a lot
• 1:27:14
  of money. In fact, the people cap showed him the
• 1:27:17
  great power of God. That was a title they gave
• 1:27:20
  him because of the level of his spiritual exploits. His
• 1:27:24
  ministry ended when the apostles now started coming there, and
• 1:27:28
  the Bible says he was convicted genuinely. He went for
• 1:27:31
  Philip's crusade, and when Philip preached listen carefully, the guy
• 1:27:35
  was converted.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: He was even baptized.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: So when they sent James and John Now and they
• 1:27:42
  went there, and he saw that through the lane on
• 1:27:44
  of hands, he saw another dimension that was not captured
• 1:27:48
  in his practice. That they just laid hands and people
• 1:27:50
  were getting Do you know what he did? He cornered
• 1:27:53
  James and John Letter was a bitter and John Now
• 1:27:57
  and told him, he said, please, I have money.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: I can give your money.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: Let me add to this. You say that he was
• 1:28:03
  safe but not transformed. There are many people who are
• 1:28:08
  born again, but when the going gets tough, they still
• 1:28:11
  attend to all kinds of things. There are believers that
• 1:28:14
  still do masquerades. I'm not saying attend the festival. They
• 1:28:19
  are the the that they bought, the regalia they have it.
• 1:28:27
  Yours is a king, Ears is the power. Ears. Here's
• 1:28:36
  the glovey forever.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 8: Yours is a king, mers is the powers, is a
• 1:28:50
  globy forever.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: Your shoes?
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 7: Ah?
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, what is the solution to witchcraft? And extra biblical
• 1:29:25
  practices too? Scriptures very quickly Second Corinthians, Chapter four, from
• 1:29:30
  verse one and two. Perhaps you're a man of God
• 1:29:32
  listening to me. Perhaps you are a young minister who
• 1:29:35
  is beginning to start, and your passion you are driving.
• 1:29:38
  You want to do this ministry by fire, by force.
• 1:29:42
  Let me give you a strong word of advice. Therefore,
• 1:29:45
  seeing we have this ministry as we have received messy,
• 1:29:50
  we think not verse two, it says, bod have renounced
• 1:29:55
  the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in crafting, yes,
• 1:30:01
  not handling the world of God deceitfully, but by manifestation
• 1:30:05
  of the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience in
• 1:30:10
  the sight of God give us Hebrews twelfth and verse
• 1:30:13
  twenty eight. So you must renounce the hidden works of dishonesty,
• 1:30:18
  the Bible says. Wherefore Hebrews twelve twenty eight receiving seeing
• 1:30:23
  that receiving a kingdom. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which
• 1:30:27
  cannot be moved. It says, let us have grace, whereby
• 1:30:31
  we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear.
• 1:30:37
  What then, is the cure to witchcraft and extra biblical practices?
• 1:30:43
  Fear God, Fear God. Fear God. When you fear God sincerely,
• 1:30:50
  you will love his people too much to deceive and
• 1:30:52
  manipulate them.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: When you fear God, you will love his people too much.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: Are we together to send them all kinds of text
• 1:31:00
  messages with lying prophecies?
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: I saw this about you. Make sure you're in church tomorrow.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: No, don't do that again. Remember, do not forget that
• 1:31:11
  all we teaches from a standpoint of love and not
• 1:31:14
  self righteousness. No, we are all bought products of God's messy.
• 1:31:18
  But the truth must be spoken, even if it is
• 1:31:21
  in love. Are we together? Witchcraft scene number four? That
• 1:31:30
  the church needs to be Are you tired that the
• 1:31:34
  church needs to be pusched off? Write it down? Please pride, vain, glory,
• 1:31:39
  and self centeredness. This is the fourth cancer that God
• 1:31:44
  wants to take out of the church for her to
• 1:31:46
  be a purified church, seeing vain glory and self centeredness.
• 1:31:54
  James chapter four and verse six immediately tells us James four,
• 1:31:59
  verse six, that God give it more grace. Wherefore he saith.
• 1:32:04
  God resisted the proud. Please shout it. God resisted the
• 1:32:09
  proud one more time. Please. It is important for you
• 1:32:16
  to know who is going to fight you when you
• 1:32:18
  are proud. If it is a demon that fights you,
• 1:32:21
  the anointing can help you. But when the owner of
• 1:32:24
  the annointing is the one fighting you, will you bring
• 1:32:26
  an anointing to fight him.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: God resisted the proud, but he gives grace to the humble. Look.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: Chapter eighteen, please, from verse nine to fourteen. Look eighteen
• 1:32:37
  starts with the teaching on prayer. Most times we just
• 1:32:40
  read the prayer pattern we stop. But here's what the
• 1:32:43
  Bible says. He spake this parable onto certain which trusted
• 1:32:48
  in themselves. Are you seeing now He's talking about those
• 1:32:51
  who trust in themselves that they were righteous and despise others.
• 1:32:56
  Ten two men went up into the temple to pray.
• 1:33:00
  Jesus is speaking now. One was a pharisee and one
• 1:33:04
  was a publican, an ordinary person. The pharisee stood up
• 1:33:08
  and hear what he prayed. The Bible says he preached
• 1:33:10
  us with himself.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: God. I thank thee.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: This is his praying now that I am not as
• 1:33:18
  the other men are. Does that sound like how we
• 1:33:21
  behave in the church. Believe us we stand with self righteousness,
• 1:33:26
  full of ourselves. I thank you because I am not
• 1:33:29
  as other men are. Extortion us onjust adult us. And
• 1:33:35
  even this publican who is standing by my side verse twelve,
• 1:33:39
  he's praying. Somebody else came to pray I first twice
• 1:33:45
  in a week. He's reading his credentials before God. Now
• 1:33:48
  I give tides of all that I possess thir thing.
• 1:33:53
  And the publican what is his business with the publican?
• 1:33:57
  That is the character of pride. It never focuses on
• 1:34:00
  his own thing. It will have to use a basis
• 1:34:02
  to contrast. And the publicans standing afar off look at
• 1:34:07
  what he said, would not even lift up so much
• 1:34:10
  his eyes onto the heavens, but smoked his breast, saying,
• 1:34:13
  God be merciful onto me a sinner. Next verse fourteen,
• 1:34:19
  I tell you Jesus is speaking. Now.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: Jesus assessed two people who went to pray.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: This man went down to his house justified the publican
• 1:34:28
  rather than the order. For everyone that exalted himself shall
• 1:34:33
  be a base brought law, and he that humbled himself
• 1:34:38
  shall be exalted. I submit to you sincerely that the
• 1:34:42
  body of Christ, in as much as we have commended
• 1:34:45
  a lot of things, we must trust God for grace
• 1:34:47
  to manage pride among women of God, among members, among politicians,
• 1:34:55
  among successful people, pride, vain, glory, and self centeredness. Romans,
• 1:35:03
  Chapter twelve. From verse one and six, God is speaking
• 1:35:07
  to us to night. I beseech you there, for brethren,
• 1:35:09
  by the message of God. It says, to present your
• 1:35:12
  bodies onto God as a living sacrifice, wholly and acceptable
• 1:35:16
  onto God, which is your reasonable act of worship. Verse two,
• 1:35:20
  it says, to not be confirmed to this world, but
• 1:35:23
  be it transformed by the renewing of your mind, that
• 1:35:26
  he may prove that which is good and acceptable and
• 1:35:29
  perfect will of God. Now pay attention verse three, for
• 1:35:33
  I say, through the grace given me, to every man
• 1:35:37
  that is among you, watch this now.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: It's a warning not.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: To think of himself more highly than he ought to think,
• 1:35:45
  but to think so badly according as God has dealt
• 1:35:49
  to every man. The measure of faith. Verse four, for
• 1:35:54
  asy have many members in the body, and he said
• 1:35:57
  all members have not the same. That means if you
• 1:36:01
  are proud, it is because you do not recognize that
• 1:36:04
  there are diversities within the body. So we've been many
• 1:36:08
  are one body in Christ and everyone members of another.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: Verse six, the last verse, now it says, having.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: Then gifts be farring according to the grace that is
• 1:36:20
  given to us, whether it is prophecy let us prophesy
• 1:36:24
  according to the proportion of faith. And then it continues
• 1:36:27
  like that. But he's saying, you have to be careful.
• 1:36:30
  Do not exalt yourself in your own eyes more highly. Listen,
• 1:36:35
  I learned this about men. It is about you, but
• 1:36:39
  not all about you. It's a revelation we must have
• 1:36:42
  as leaders, as believers when everything becomes about you.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: And it's a mistake we make as men of God.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: We clamor to be the focus and the epicenter of
• 1:36:55
  everything self centeredness.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: Someone learning the scene of pride the scene of venglory, do.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: You know, way before the scene of sexual immorality, way
• 1:37:11
  before the scene of other perversions, way before the scene
• 1:37:15
  of witchcraft, that one scene was the scene of pride
• 1:37:20
  and treason satan.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: I will exalt myself above the stars of God. So
• 1:37:25
  it is an old scene. I will be like the
• 1:37:30
  most high self centeredness. You must get to a point.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: Where you appreciate the fact that you are only one
• 1:37:42
  of many as a business man, as a man of God,
• 1:37:46
  I am only one of many across the body of
• 1:37:49
  Christ globally in Africa and in this nation who have
• 1:37:56
  obtained messy by God to make a very meaningful countribut
• 1:38:00
  towards Kingdom. Come when I suggest to myself that it
• 1:38:04
  is all about me, there is trouble.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: It's someone learning, especially for young.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: Ministers who God is helping to come up, or younger ministers.
• 1:38:14
  I would say, because we're all young, younger ministers who
• 1:38:17
  are coming up, we have to be careful pride. The
• 1:38:22
  pul pitch should not be a place of pride. There's
• 1:38:25
  too much pride and vainglory. And it is because of
• 1:38:29
  that that it leads us into all kinds of lives.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: I held a meeting and one hundred thousand people came
• 1:38:38
  to my church, and out of them, ten thousand people
• 1:38:40
  got up on wheelchairs. Happah, it's all about you, jeez,
• 1:38:55
  Jesus and now this is for you. It's for your
• 1:39:01
  glory and your fame.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: It's not about me.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: As if you should do things my way, you alone
• 1:39:14
  a car and I'm sorrey. Let me tell you the truth.
• 1:39:21
  I submit to you, my dear people. The person talking
• 1:39:24
  to you has seen the messy and the glory of God.
• 1:39:28
  I'm not speaking in ignorance. I have stood before kings,
• 1:39:31
  I have stood before nobles. God has honored me with
• 1:39:34
  what many people will not get in many lifetimes.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 2: I submit to you.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: So if there is something to boast about, the person
• 1:39:41
  is standing before you can beat his chest and we
• 1:39:44
  can speak. God has elevated us and honored us, and
• 1:39:48
  given us visibility across the globe. If there is anything
• 1:39:51
  to make noise about, we can beat our chest. We
• 1:39:54
  have stood before kings. God has brought kings and heads
• 1:39:58
  of governments and leaders to become sons and mentees. But
• 1:40:02
  we count everything like Paul Botongue, for the excellency of Christ.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: So, by the privilege of God's grace and by the privilege.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: Of results, I have a right to say what I'm saying.
• 1:40:21
  When we speak like this, we do not speak. It
• 1:40:25
  is not to downplay or the mean what God has made.
• 1:40:28
  If we begin to read the credentials of our accomplishments
• 1:40:32
  and the things that God is doing in and through us,
• 1:40:35
  across the nations, and many of you here Cooinonia, here
• 1:40:39
  is a collection of extremely successful people. There are billionnaires
• 1:40:44
  in this place. There are multi millionnaires. There are successful people, politicians,
• 1:40:49
  business people, heads of conglomerates. Some of them do not
• 1:40:53
  They are not even in this man auditorium. There are
• 1:40:55
  some way scattered in the overflow. Our global family is
• 1:40:59
  full of extremely successful people.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: Some of them I do not even know them myself.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: The days I meet them more communicate with them, I
• 1:41:06
  am surprised that this is what God has given. It
• 1:41:10
  is easy for me to stand and beat my chest,
• 1:41:13
  and if anyone talks, I say, see my results.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: Bring your own fast before you talk. But we count
• 1:41:18
  this postone.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: God has lifted us to be able to buy the
• 1:41:22
  privilege of God's grace, use our life to help mentor
• 1:41:26
  nations that when God lifts you, your assignment is to
• 1:41:30
  be as an orsher to lift him.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 2: And forever, for as long as.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: We live, it will always be Jesus revealed and Jesus
• 1:41:39
  glorified Jesus revealed and Jesus glorified. Acknowledge the truth and
• 1:41:53
  what God is doing in your life, but be careful
• 1:41:56
  pride and vain glory. When it becomes all about Joshua Salman,
• 1:42:01
  there is trouble.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: Because that means all the people who I teach and
• 1:42:07
  mentor and raise will have to follow that template. And
• 1:42:11
  it's going to be the extended consequence is the body
• 1:42:15
  of Christ, who have a lot of problems.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: I pray and look forward to times when.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: Successful people will come together and roll on the ground
• 1:42:23
  before the nations and say, we are doing this for
• 1:42:26
  you Jesus. And like Paul, like like it was David
• 1:42:32
  who was returning back the act was being taken back,
• 1:42:36
  and he was dancing in an un dignified manner, and
• 1:42:39
  Saul's daughter looked at him and said, look what you
• 1:42:41
  are doing. You are bringing shame to yourself. Why are
• 1:42:45
  you doing this? You say, I'm dancing before the God
• 1:42:48
  who took the kingdom from your father and gave to me.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: God had her and she died barring Allelujah.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: When I hear and see the mighty things that God
• 1:43:00
  is doing in and through our lives.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I just stand before the mirror and I say, Lord,
• 1:43:05
  please show messy, show messy. That by your spirit will
• 1:43:10
  never get to a point where the applauds of men. Now,
• 1:43:13
  people will clap, people will sincerely appreciate. There is a
• 1:43:17
  difference between simplicity and humility. You can be a simple
• 1:43:21
  person and still be proud. Are we together now? Yes,
• 1:43:25
  we're talking about a recognition where the nations will know
• 1:43:30
  that Jesus Christ is the.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 2: One who has done this.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: But the spirit of pride also, let me tell you
• 1:43:37
  the character of pride, It downplays the contribution of others
• 1:43:41
  and desires for you to stand out.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 2: That is what that is a problem.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: So when you look at Coinonia, all you see is
• 1:43:48
  Joshua Sellman, and you do not see the people who
• 1:43:51
  are making this happen. And if for any reason you
• 1:43:54
  want to, even if it's a little part on the back,
• 1:43:56
  I create systems that prohibit them. Why are you clap
• 1:44:00
  for the guy playing keyboard? Can you do Bible study
• 1:44:02
  like me? How many verses has he given you? So
• 1:44:04
  the center Sometimes we do it unconsciously, but it is
• 1:44:09
  a scene that the body must be pushed from.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: If we're together, say amen.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: What is the cure for pride and vainglory is found
• 1:44:20
  in John chapter three, from verse twenty two to thirteen.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 2: John three, twenty two to thirteen.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: After these things, Jesus came to Judea, and the Bible
• 1:44:31
  says he tarried and was about to be baptized. Let's
• 1:44:33
  read very quickly. The Bible says John was also baptizing.
• 1:44:37
  Watch this.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: John was baptizing near Salem because there was much water there,
• 1:44:43
  and people came, and we're being baptized.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: WA's what happened now? For John was not yet cast
• 1:44:48
  into prison.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: You know, I used to think John stop baptism after
• 1:44:51
  he announced Jesus, But I got to find out that.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: He continued his thing.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: And there arose a question between some of John's disciples
• 1:45:00
  and the Jews about purifying twenty six. And they came
• 1:45:04
  to John and said, Rabbi, he that was with you
• 1:45:07
  beyond the Jordan, whom thou bearest witness.
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: Behold, the same as started baptizing too, and all men
• 1:45:15
  are coming to him. That was a problem.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: And John answered and said the answer of John must
• 1:45:23
  become our disposition.
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 2: A man can receive nothing except it be given to him.
• 1:45:30
  From heaven.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: Twenty eight It says, here yourself, bear me witness that
• 1:45:35
  I said, I am not the Christ, but I am
• 1:45:37
  sent before him.
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 2: Twenty nine. He that had the bride is the bridegroom.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: But the friend of the bridegroom, which stand and heard him,
• 1:45:46
  rejoice it greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. This my
• 1:45:51
  joy is therefore fulfilled. Very starty. He must increase, and
• 1:45:56
  I must decrease. Notice he never said I most No,
• 1:46:01
  I must decrease so that he will be seen. It
• 1:46:06
  is my prayer first for myself, as I'm preaching here,
• 1:46:09
  that when people look at me, they would not just
• 1:46:11
  see a celebrity or see whatever it is, but they
• 1:46:14
  will see Christ crucified and Christ glorified through a privileged vessel.
• 1:46:20
  That is the greatest testimony that I desire Sein number five.
• 1:46:30
  The fifth scene that the body of Christ need to
• 1:46:33
  be purified of is called the sin of the tongue.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 2: Please write it down. We're wrapping up the sin of
• 1:46:40
  the tongue.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: This includes everything that can affect and destroy and corrupt
• 1:46:46
  the body that comes through the tongue, lying gossip, backbiting,
• 1:46:52
  sowing seeds of discord. They are all called the sins
• 1:46:55
  of the tongue? Are you seeing how God is helping
• 1:46:58
  us now? So that as God is running the list
• 1:47:01
  at the end of this list, if you stand up,
• 1:47:04
  beat your chest and say I am fine, You're sin?
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 2: Is this one?
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: Are we together? Proverbs thirty four twelve to thirteen, Proverbs
• 1:47:19
  thirty four, Psalms thirty four, Sorry, Palms thirty four, twelve
• 1:47:26
  and thirteen. Psalms starty four, twelve and thirteen. Let's finish
• 1:47:29
  so we can pray. It says, what man is he
• 1:47:32
  that desired life and love it many days that he
• 1:47:36
  might see good? What is that man?
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 2: What does he need to do?
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking guile?
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 2: The word guy, there is lies and deception.
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 1: Proverbs, Chapter six, from verse sixteen, The six things that
• 1:47:53
  the Lord hates six sixteen.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 2: These six things.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: Does the Lord hate, yeay seven and abomination onto him.
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: Let's read the list to nineteen.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: A proud look number one, A lying tongue, number three,
• 1:48:08
  hands that shed innocent blood, number four, a hat that
• 1:48:13
  devised wicked imaginations. Number five, fit that be swift in
• 1:48:19
  running to mischief nine number six Now verse nineteen a
• 1:48:25
  false witness that speaketh lies and then finally he that's
• 1:48:31
  so well discord among brethren the sin of the tongue.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you the truth.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: There are many people today who have allowed the devil
• 1:48:42
  to use their tongues to divide the body of Christ,
• 1:48:47
  cause trouble the body of Christ. There are many believers,
• 1:48:51
  from men of God, to churches, to several people. They
• 1:48:56
  are the way they are, and the body has been
• 1:48:58
  corrupted this much because of the scene of the tongue,
• 1:49:02
  from gossiping to lying, to devising wicked imaginations. Because the
• 1:49:09
  mouth is a testimony of the state of the art.
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 2: Are we together now?
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 1: The worst one here is here that sowed discord among brethren.
• 1:49:22
  There are people today who cannot serve God acceptably because
• 1:49:26
  people creep into churches, creep into families, creep into prayer
• 1:49:31
  platforms and so seats.
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 2: Now I submit to you that there is no church
• 1:49:35
  globally that is immune from this. You will always have
• 1:49:39
  people who will sow seeds of discord.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 1: There are many homes today, Christian homes and marriages that
• 1:49:46
  are in this array simply because there are people who
• 1:49:49
  sow seeds of discord.
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 2: Ah Daddy, I need to tell you something.
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 1: I saw mommy preparing your food, and after she finished,
• 1:49:58
  she held something that was looking like my but it
• 1:50:01
  was the way she was sprinkling the thing and brings
• 1:50:05
  the food.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 2: To the man, and the man no, no, I'm okay.
• 1:50:07
  What happened? I'm okay, And then comes to the woman
• 1:50:11
  and says, I saw that he.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: Was writing something, a check, and I think I saw
• 1:50:17
  him giving one woman know something. And the woman said, okay,
• 1:50:20
  me too. I'm going to my father's house. And the
• 1:50:23
  person who did it to keep quiet and stand somewhere.
• 1:50:28
  There are many people joining the heads of sincere people
• 1:50:32
  and join this. They said this to this, they say
• 1:50:35
  this to that, and they stand back and watch with joy.
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 2: No, it ought not to be so. It is a spirit,
• 1:50:42
  and it is not tell them God is telling all
• 1:50:44
  of us.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: Are we together now? Yes, seeds of discord? How about lying?
• 1:50:51
  There are people that lie, like world of knowledge? You know,
• 1:50:54
  no riasal. You just lie from preachers to business people.
• 1:50:59
  And I think they're telling you. Just know that you
• 1:51:02
  are hearing a lie. Even when they're crying, it's still
• 1:51:06
  a lie. I'm sure there are I'm sure there are
• 1:51:11
  Georges who already know this. As soon as they enter,
• 1:51:14
  they just allow them to talk for formality. After that
• 1:51:16
  they say, please go to prison.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 2: We already know that you are.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: The thing is written from head to toe. Even as
• 1:51:23
  men of God, God needs to show us messy. We're
• 1:51:26
  doing our best. But all these lies, exaggerations, lies. Years
• 1:51:31
  ago in the seminary, they thought that they are someingll
• 1:51:33
  white lie, you know, and all of those kinds of
• 1:51:36
  things lie is lie, just need messy. At the end
• 1:51:39
  of this teaching, all of us who need the blood
• 1:51:41
  of Jesus. That is the summary of At the end
• 1:51:44
  of this teaching, all of us are going to need
• 1:51:47
  the blood of Jesus. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 1:51:53
  A lying tongue, Let me what is the solution. I
• 1:51:55
  will just give you two scriptures and then Psalms nineteen
• 1:51:58
  and verse four. Psalms nineteen and verse four. What is
• 1:52:02
  the solution to a lying tongue? Did I get that right?
• 1:52:06
  My goodness? I keep I think my give us some
• 1:52:10
  one forty one, verse three and four. Some one forty
• 1:52:13
  one three and four. It set set a watch, o
• 1:52:16
  Lord before my mouth, and keep the door of my
• 1:52:20
  lips verse four. Incline not that hard to any evil thing,
• 1:52:24
  to practice wickedness with men that work iniquity, and let
• 1:52:28
  me not eat of their dainties. So he says, set
• 1:52:30
  a god over my mouth. You see. The beautiful thing
• 1:52:33
  is that you must not talk here in your mind
• 1:52:36
  what you want to say first and find out is
• 1:52:39
  it a defying efficients Chapter four, I believe us twenty
• 1:52:43
  nine efficients four and twenty nine. Let no corrupt communication
• 1:52:50
  proceed from your mouth. Is that in your bible, but
• 1:52:53
  that which is good to the use of a defying
• 1:52:57
  that it may minister grace onto the hearers. That that
• 1:53:00
  means if you are opening your mouth to speak and
• 1:53:03
  it is going to be gossip by biting, tearing down people,
• 1:53:07
  He's saying, let no corrupt communication proceed from your mouth,
• 1:53:11
  make sure that that which comes out is that which
• 1:53:13
  will edify, It will minister grace to the hearers. If
• 1:53:17
  you are with me, say Amen, number six, saying number
• 1:53:22
  six that the Lord God of Heaven demands that he's
• 1:53:28
  bribe the church be purified from the church global, the
• 1:53:32
  Church in Africa and the Church in Nigeria is competition
• 1:53:37
  and on healthy comparison.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 2: Competition and on healthy comparison.
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: This is the sixth scene on healthy comparison of men,
• 1:53:49
  on healthy comparison of structures, competition, and on healthy comparison.
• 1:53:58
  This has produced all kinds of unhealthy camps cabals.
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 2: Do you know?
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: It is one of the plagues that has destroyed Africa
• 1:54:07
  and even Nigeria. There are circles people who have It
• 1:54:11
  has almost become.
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 2: Like court like circles.
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: There are healthy circles that make for the preservation of convictions,
• 1:54:19
  but there are people who have stretched it. If you
• 1:54:21
  do not belong to certain cabals, ministerial cabals, it has
• 1:54:27
  almost become court like and sadly but respectfully, this is
• 1:54:31
  even more pronounced in many parts of Africa. You see
• 1:54:34
  this happen so younger ministers who are clamoring for attention
• 1:54:38
  and visibility have to bend their standard because the requirement
• 1:54:42
  is until you weave yourself into certain cabals.
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, I've told you.
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 1: Community living is the key to preserving kingdom values and
• 1:54:52
  having a good network of like minded kingdom people with
• 1:54:57
  similar convictions is very biblical. In fact, if you don't
• 1:55:01
  have it, then you will not have the grace to
• 1:55:05
  be sustained and to stay. You can't just because I
• 1:55:08
  teach about this. It does not mean that you open
• 1:55:11
  up your heart to everything. I love the Body of Christ,
• 1:55:14
  but I have my convictions and my values. There are groups,
• 1:55:18
  respectfully speaking, and associations that you will never see me
• 1:55:21
  part of, not at that current template.
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 2: You will not see me as part.
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 1: Of them, because I love the Lord and I hold
• 1:55:27
  true the convictions that I have for him.
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 1: You will never, for instance, see me bring somebody here
• 1:55:35
  and I tell the person your primary assignment to come
• 1:55:38
  here is to come and raise money. I'm not saying
• 1:55:41
  raising money is wrong, but for the purpose of deception,
• 1:55:44
  professigned manipulate the people who raise the money, and then
• 1:55:46
  we split it, maybe fifty to fifty. If it doesn't agree,
• 1:55:49
  we do sixty four. All those kinds of things.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 2: Now it shouldn't be.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: Again, I'm not being sarcastic. I'm just being truthful because
• 1:55:57
  it happens. And then competition. Competition is a dangerous spirit.
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 2: It should not be.
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: Not in the Body of Christ are we together? Second
• 1:56:10
  Second Corinthians ten from verse twelve. Second Corinthians ten from
• 1:56:15
  verse twelve. For we there not make ourselves of the
• 1:56:19
  number or compare ourselves with some that command themselves. But
• 1:56:24
  they're measuring themselves with themselves and comparing themselves among themselves,
• 1:56:28
  the Bible says, are not wise.
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 2: Next verse, the Bible says, but we.
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 1: Will not boast off things without our measure or outside
• 1:56:38
  of our measure. You want to understand this, you have
• 1:56:40
  to look at it from amplified. Give us amplified amplified,
• 1:56:45
  and then we'll read from there. It says, we, on
• 1:56:50
  the other hand, will not boast beyond our legitimate province
• 1:56:53
  and proper limit.
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 2: But we will keep within the limits.
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: Of our commission which God has alloted us, by the
• 1:57:02
  measuring line which reaches and includes even you. Are we
• 1:57:05
  together now, yes, fourteen, It says, for we are not
• 1:57:11
  overstepping the limits of our province and stretching beyond our
• 1:57:15
  ability to reach, as though we reach north and had
• 1:57:18
  no legitimate mission to you, For we were the very
• 1:57:21
  first to come to you, even as far to you,
• 1:57:24
  with the good news of the Gospel of Christ, reading
• 1:57:27
  to eighteen. Next verse, Please we do not boast therefore
• 1:57:30
  beyond our proper limits over other men's labor. But we
• 1:57:37
  have the hope and confident expectation that as your faith
• 1:57:41
  continues to grow, our field among you will be greatly enlarged,
• 1:57:46
  still within the limits of our commission. Just read the
• 1:57:49
  remaining down to eighteen. He's trying to say that, listen,
• 1:57:53
  we are not here in competition. God has given us jurisdiction,
• 1:57:58
  and we respect it. And if for any reason we
• 1:58:00
  both we do it within our predefined jurisdiction.
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 2: Are weay together? It is an attitude that we must
• 1:58:10
  carry as men of.
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 1: God, as business people within the Body of Christ. Competition
• 1:58:19
  and unhealthy comparison. It must be avoided. We must run
• 1:58:23
  away from it. We must never allow ourselves to be
• 1:58:27
  victims of it. I have taught you here in coinn
• 1:58:30
  Onia that mored than coin Onia. Our assignment is the
• 1:58:34
  Body of Christ. I have taught you that are we together?
• 1:58:39
  If I stop you, and I rob you from enjoying
• 1:58:43
  the diversity of the body simply because of me, I
• 1:58:47
  would have cheated you. Because it is not everything you
• 1:58:50
  need that God gave me. As much as I love you,
• 1:58:53
  there are things that are needed in your life that
• 1:58:56
  is not within the scope of my grace or assignment.
• 1:58:58
  That is where other members of the body come. Are
• 1:59:01
  we together? Now? They can supply to you dimensions that
• 1:59:05
  I may not be able to supply, or to the
• 1:59:07
  degree they supply. Recognizing that gives you a sense of
• 1:59:10
  appreciation for what God is doing across the body. Believing
• 1:59:16
  that Coinonia is the only ministry making impact, believing that
• 1:59:20
  Joshua Salman is the only man of God making his deception.
• 1:59:24
  I've told you that most of these things come from
• 1:59:26
  our backgrounds. We come from Africa, a background of deprivation.
• 1:59:31
  So when God begins to use us the backlog of
• 1:59:33
  some of these things, the appetite to outshine. You know,
• 1:59:37
  I travel a lot, and when I travel across regions,
• 1:59:40
  sometimes you're very excited that I'm coming their nations that
• 1:59:43
  I'm coming to now, and you can't imagine the excitement
• 1:59:46
  that is happening.
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 2: But I am very quick to let.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: The men of God, the leaders, the captains of industry
• 1:59:52
  know there that it's not a celebrity that is coming.
• 1:59:55
  It is an ambassador, and I am coming as a
• 1:59:58
  contributor to what God is already doing. I'm not coming
• 2:00:02
  to outshine and downplay and rubbish other men of God,
• 2:00:06
  rubbish other ministries and make it look like no body
• 2:00:09
  is doing anything serious except me, I would be in
• 2:00:12
  deception because God is an indictment on the Ministry of
• 2:00:16
  the Holy Spirit. To believe you are the only one
• 2:00:20
  who is effective the moment to think it is if
• 2:00:23
  I ever believe that Koynonia is the only ministry making impact,
• 2:00:28
  Joshua Salmon, is I'm insulting the Ministry of the Holy
• 2:00:31
  Spirit because I'm saying he's so ineffective he cannot guarantee
• 2:00:36
  the stability of other structures. Politicians never believe you are
• 2:00:46
  the only one. Let's not make the mistake of Elijah.
• 2:00:48
  Elijah said, and I I am the only one who
• 2:00:51
  is standing. It was a mistake. Oh there are men,
• 2:00:55
  Oh do you know in my life as a man
• 2:00:58
  of God, I have met some people, some of them
• 2:01:00
  young people, and have conversed with them, and the kind
• 2:01:04
  of presence and power they've not even started ministry as
• 2:01:08
  we know. Some of them do not even know how
• 2:01:10
  anointed they are. It's you, by the privilege of growth,
• 2:01:13
  who can taste it. And you can say that, Ah,
• 2:01:16
  there is grace here. There are greater men that are coming,
• 2:01:20
  who will do greater things than the Joshua Salmans. We
• 2:01:23
  better respect them in advance because by the time you
• 2:01:26
  tear down people and they rise. No, we are surrounded
• 2:01:34
  by many. We are not the only ones who walk
• 2:01:37
  this river. They gave us the button, and God is
• 2:01:39
  still training many. There are many young people in villages.
• 2:01:43
  God is training. There are many young people around God.
• 2:01:46
  There are many women of fire and power. There are intercessors,
• 2:01:51
  there are antime profits, there are apostles. Some of you
• 2:01:54
  are looking at me. I know you are sitting quietly.
• 2:01:57
  But there is what God is doing. As men of God,
• 2:02:00
  we must be honest to appreciate and recognize and drop
• 2:02:05
  away this celebrity mindset. No, God is bigger than just
• 2:02:13
  one man. God is bigger than just one ministry. No
• 2:02:17
  matter how effective you are, you cannot capture the entirety
• 2:02:22
  of what.
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 2: God is doing. Listen very carefully and learn.
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not ashamed to appreciate what God is doing across
• 2:02:35
  every church, with men of God, with people. When I
• 2:02:38
  have the opportunity of meeting pastors, whether they feel we
• 2:02:42
  are greater, we may not be at the same level.
• 2:02:44
  In grace, what it does not matter. From the least
• 2:02:47
  to the greatest, we are all an army who are
• 2:02:49
  who are advancing the purposes of the Kingdom, from the
• 2:02:52
  least contributor to the greater.
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 2: We are all deserving of honor.
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 1: The spirit that rubbishes the contribution of others and makes
• 2:03:01
  it look like only few people.
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 2: A man of God met me one.
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 1: Time and we're talking, and he said, Kai, there are
• 2:03:07
  only few of me now, Joshua Salman that God is
• 2:03:10
  using in Nigeria told him, keep quiet and don't allow
• 2:03:13
  that blasphemy come out of your mouth. There are people
• 2:03:16
  in regions and villages we don't even have the kind
• 2:03:19
  of anointing to fight those demons.
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 2: There.
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 1: There are women who did not go to school, but
• 2:03:24
  they're in the spirit of another prophetess, fighting battles that
• 2:03:28
  we do not know, no protocol protecting them. How dare
• 2:03:32
  you believe Joshua Salman is the only one. How dare
• 2:03:36
  you believe only Coynonia? What about other men of God?
• 2:03:39
  What about other apostles, what about other churches? Everybody is
• 2:03:44
  making an active contribution. If I travel to Legos, or
• 2:03:53
  to a Budja, or to any nation, the reason why
• 2:03:56
  you find believers there is because there was a man
• 2:03:59
  of God the mentoring and building them before we arrive.
• 2:04:04
  We must cultivate a healthy respect, competition, and on healthy comparison.
• 2:04:16
  And let me charge you, my precious, people don't go
• 2:04:19
  around joining the heads of men of God. Don't go
• 2:04:22
  around joining the heads of people by trying to compare.
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, this one is this? This one is that?
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 1: No, no, that is not your assignment. Allelujah. I once
• 2:04:37
  met a woman with a unique grace for barningness. She
• 2:04:41
  may not be able to professigh, but if she lays
• 2:04:44
  her hands on you. I had the privilege of praying
• 2:04:49
  over one of the biggest prayer mountains that I know
• 2:04:53
  in this nation is led up by a woman, very
• 2:04:56
  humble woman. The first time that woman came to me,
• 2:05:00
  she came for prayers. When she began to tell me
• 2:05:03
  and I saw what God did in her life, I
• 2:05:05
  felt it was me that needed to kneel that letter
• 2:05:08
  pray for me. She's dedicated it.
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 2: Now it's a.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 1: Mighty revival center. You go there and see prayerselves like
• 2:05:16
  it was in the days of Young Gie Show. We
• 2:05:18
  have not come near these things where there is our pride.
• 2:05:22
  There are people changing the world trus because they are
• 2:05:25
  not on social media tans, because we are not invited
• 2:05:28
  to the places we may look like the celebrities. Will
• 2:05:32
  make no mistake. God has a robot army and there
• 2:05:36
  are still many rising.
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 7: Oh oh.
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 2: Oh ah.
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 7: Ah ah.
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 1: Ah ah ah. Please look up. Let me remind you again.
• 2:06:39
  Some of you here are leaders of small prayer groups
• 2:06:42
  you are starting. Don't be discouraged. Don't allow us men
• 2:06:46
  of God discourage you. You will make mistakes. It is
• 2:06:49
  better to make mistake in our presence. Let's see and
• 2:06:52
  correct you in our lifetime than to rubbish what was done.
• 2:06:56
  But do not be discouraged. You will make mistakes. Let
• 2:07:00
  God help you, and we will help you by the
• 2:07:02
  grace of God. Are we together? Sometimes I see different groups,
• 2:07:07
  ministry groups. They come together and they just want to
• 2:07:10
  come and greet me for prayer. And you look at them.
• 2:07:13
  They may not be dressing well, but they are sellout people.
• 2:07:16
  They may not know much what their hearts are there?
• 2:07:18
  How dare you push them? How were we when God
• 2:07:21
  started with us? You think we were like this? No
• 2:07:26
  nobody can ever be perfect.
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 2: En for God's use. You are built. While you are going.
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 1: There is a threshold level of training, but when you
• 2:07:36
  get there, He begins to use you. While the transformation
• 2:07:40
  continues Let's give younger people a chance to grow and
• 2:07:44
  make mistakes and learn and grow and build.
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 2: Our job is to guide, not stop. Are we together?
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 1: There are many dreams and visions that have been buried
• 2:07:59
  because of this competition. Joshua Salman, if you most grow spiritually,
• 2:08:05
  it must be true me. That is absolute nonsense. Christ
• 2:08:10
  is the head of the church. If I die today,
• 2:08:13
  God forbid, you will try to raise me back to life.
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 2: If I don't wake up, what will you do?
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 1: You will take the ground and throw me there. But
• 2:08:22
  the program of God continues. Listen to me. The program
• 2:08:26
  of God was there before I was born. Some of
• 2:08:28
  us are still children compared to what God did before. Pastor,
• 2:08:35
  you can be as mighty as you want to be,
• 2:08:38
  prophet as man of God, woman of God, no matter
• 2:08:41
  how young or old. I'm bringing you a word. Don't
• 2:08:45
  despise what God is doing. Respect Joshua Salman and every
• 2:08:49
  other man of God. Respect the founders of faith. But
• 2:08:52
  please not to the detriment of what God is doing
• 2:08:55
  in your life. Do not offer honor us to the
• 2:09:00
  point where it looks like God dostop raising men.
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 7: No.
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 1: I know we enjoy it because it seems to massuch
• 2:09:07
  our ego. But I'm telling you the truth.
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 2: Something is wrong.
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 1: Number seven, the fourth scene, the seventh sin that the
• 2:09:20
  body of Christ needs to be pushed off, is the
• 2:09:23
  scene of imbalance. This is the last one, and we
• 2:09:28
  pray the seventh scene. It is not only an error,
• 2:09:34
  it is seen. What is imbalance failure to embrace and
• 2:09:39
  communicate the whole Counsel of God, Acts Chapter twenty. Please
• 2:09:44
  give us verse twenty seven and twenty eight, Acts Chapter twenty,
• 2:09:50
  from verse twenty seven to twenty eight, for I have
• 2:09:54
  not shown to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
• 2:09:58
  Is that in your Bible saying I stand by God.
• 2:10:01
  I did not I did not trive your lies any dimension,
• 2:10:06
  It says. Take he therefore onto yourselves. He's charging them now,
• 2:10:11
  and to the flock over which the only goalst has
• 2:10:14
  made you overseer us to feed the Church of God,
• 2:10:17
  which he purchased with his own blood.
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 2: Please look up.
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 1: Imbalance is where there is an exaggeration and the stretching
• 2:10:27
  of a dimension of kingdom truth beyond its jurisdiction of relevance.
• 2:10:34
  You want to understand imbalance, you have to study cooking.
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 2: In making a meal, it's not the same quantity of
• 2:10:42
  rice that you will have for salt. Is that true?
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 1: For a plate of rice, you may need a pinch
• 2:10:50
  or two pinches of salt and.
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 2: That is enough.
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 1: By the time you have one mood of rice and
• 2:10:55
  one modle of salt and join them together, what have
• 2:10:58
  you done?
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 2: The ingredients are there.
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 1: But not to that degree. Or by the time you
• 2:11:03
  cook a nice, delicious rice and then you ignore salts.
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 2: Imbalance.
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 1: It is a reason why believers in our world today
• 2:11:15
  have not been able to rise to that statue. Remember,
• 2:11:18
  the Bible says we are kings and priests. I submit
• 2:11:21
  to you that the Church in Africa has emphasized on
• 2:11:24
  the priesthood dimension. We have done well in terms of
• 2:11:28
  prayer consecration like I'm doing so. The average believer in
• 2:11:32
  Nigeria and Africa is not naive as to their spiritual development.
• 2:11:38
  That priesthood part, we have gotten it well. But the
• 2:11:41
  kingly path, there is a lot of ignorance among believers.
• 2:11:45
  That is the reason why we cannot dominate the mountains
• 2:11:48
  and bring glory to the Lord. That is why believers
• 2:11:50
  can be praying in tongues while politically and sociologically we
• 2:11:55
  become victims of situations and circumstances.
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 2: This was the problem betwe Ken and Abel.
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 1: If you study the Bible, Abel understood priesthood. But Ken
• 2:12:05
  built a city and named it after his son. Are
• 2:12:09
  we together now? Notice that every time in the Bible
• 2:12:15
  you see the building of cities, it was the spirit
• 2:12:19
  of the Antichrist. Most believers stopped at just understanding priesthood.
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 2: Jesus when he came, he began to teach and.
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 1: Said, listen, I am sending you as sheep among wolves.
• 2:12:31
  The average believer is ignorant as how to bring the
• 2:12:35
  Kingdom of God, the Kingdom come project.
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 2: We have no idea.
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 1: Asks the average believer, what do we do as far
• 2:12:43
  as establishing the program of God.
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 2: The only thing that would tell you is.
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 1: Let's pray, let's study the scripture, Let's live a holy life, and.
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 2: That is wonderful. That is priesthood.
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 1: But the Bible says we have been made onto our God,
• 2:12:55
  kings and priests. If you are priest alone, you will
• 2:13:00
  do well behind the veil. But if you come into
• 2:13:02
  the cosmos, you will not be able to thrive. The
• 2:13:07
  whole counsel of God. There is holiness and consecration like
• 2:13:13
  you are receiving tonight. There is a revelation of God's word.
• 2:13:16
  There is a prayer ministry. There is a place for
• 2:13:19
  system building and leadership. There is a place for intelligence
• 2:13:23
  knowing how to occupy the secular space.
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 2: I don't have time.
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 1: I would have shown you from scripture how Israel became
• 2:13:31
  a great nation. Israel did not become a great nation
• 2:13:34
  just by priesthood alone. Ah are we together? They were
• 2:13:40
  in Egypt. They did not abort their priesthood, but they
• 2:13:44
  did not understand the kingly dimension, and so they remain slaves.
• 2:13:51
  So we have many believers who are sincere, but they
• 2:13:55
  cannot pay the school fees of their children. We have
• 2:13:58
  many believers who are sincere, or they cannot access finances
• 2:14:01
  to build the building the whole counsel of God.
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 2: The lack of it is what.
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 1: Has created the lopsidedness in the Church of God. So
• 2:14:13
  I can stand right now as a man of God.
• 2:14:15
  And because I'm preaching, you are coming to bless me.
• 2:14:19
  The name of what I'm doing is value. Even if
• 2:14:22
  it is spiritual, it is still the law of value.
• 2:14:24
  And because I am dispensing value, whether I am selling
• 2:14:28
  it or giving it free. The Lord demands that there
• 2:14:31
  will be a reward, So you come and honor me.
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 2: But what of you?
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 1: If I do not empower you, how will I ask
• 2:14:37
  you to give? It is fraudulent to not empower you
• 2:14:42
  and equip you with the truths of the Gospel, and
• 2:14:44
  then keep demanding from you. I will never be a
• 2:14:51
  man of God that will exaggerated dimension of kingdom growth
• 2:14:55
  at the expense of others.
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 2: Let me show you something we're wrapping up. Are you
• 2:15:00
  learning one scripture? And then we begin to pray goodness?
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 1: Acts Chapter eighteen, from verse twenty four to twenty six,
• 2:15:15
  the Bible talked about a certain Jew named Apollos. The
• 2:15:19
  Bible says he was born at Alexandria, an eloquent man.
• 2:15:24
  Notice this man's credentials, an eloquent man, mighty in scriptures.
• 2:15:29
  He came to Ephesos verse twenty five. This man was
• 2:15:32
  instructed in the way of the Lord, so he was
• 2:15:34
  not a rebel. He was mentored, being fervent in spirit,
• 2:15:38
  he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord.
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 2: But his only problem was he knew only.
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 1: How many of us preach very well, But we know
• 2:15:51
  only how many of us do business very well, but
• 2:15:54
  we know only respectfully speaking. There are some of us
• 2:15:59
  men of God. We are fathers like this, but we
• 2:16:02
  know only administration. We know only financial principles, and stopping
• 2:16:07
  there is imbalance.
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 2: There are some of us.
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 1: Who know only priesthood, principles of prayer, first in consecration,
• 2:16:15
  and the world of God.
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 2: Some of us only we.
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 1: Understand spiritual growth and the rest some of us only
• 2:16:21
  we know government. When everybody brings their only and we
• 2:16:26
  embrace it, it will now bring completion.
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 2: Are we together now? If I begin to teach you
• 2:16:35
  only business, only.
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 1: Financial principles, and your spiritual life is going down while
• 2:16:40
  you are prospering, that is imbalance. You may be rich,
• 2:16:44
  but you will go to hell. It would destroy you.
• 2:16:48
  Can I tell you this? We must stop criticizing dimensions
• 2:16:52
  that we do not understand or are not captured within
• 2:16:56
  the frame of our training. My job as a man
• 2:16:59
  of God is to be efficient as far as the
• 2:17:02
  dimension of the kingdom committed to me is concerned, but
• 2:17:05
  to have a healthy appreciation knowing that I know only
• 2:17:10
  No matter how much I know, I know only that
• 2:17:15
  limitation was brought about by God himself. So that we
• 2:17:19
  will embrace the entirety of the body. So when I
• 2:17:22
  teach about the body of Christ, I teach about the
• 2:17:25
  fact that God has invested diversities of graces. It is
• 2:17:30
  not everything that I know and have today and that
• 2:17:33
  you are receiving that came from the core of my call.
• 2:17:37
  There are many dimensions that were not captured in my training,
• 2:17:40
  and how to outsource them through honor to other vessels
• 2:17:44
  within the body. Are we together? Let's wrap up Revelations
• 2:17:56
  chapter twenty one. We read verse nineteen eve seven and
• 2:18:00
  then sixteen, and then we tie up to Night's staching goodness.
• 2:18:05
  There came on to me one of the seven angels
• 2:18:08
  which had the seven vals full of the seventh last
• 2:18:11
  play watch this now, and talked with me, saying, come
• 2:18:16
  up hither, and I will show you the bride, the
• 2:18:19
  Lamb's wife. He's about to show us the Lamb's wife
• 2:18:22
  now verse ten. And he carried me away into the
• 2:18:26
  spirit and showed me a great and high mountain and
• 2:18:30
  showed me a great city. So the Lamb's Wife is
• 2:18:33
  that city, the Holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from
• 2:18:38
  God verse eleven, having the glory of God and her
• 2:18:43
  light was like onto the stone most precious, even like
• 2:18:46
  a just pers stone, clear and crystal. Verse sixteen. Look
• 2:18:50
  at the Lamb's wife. The Lamb's wife, that city had
• 2:18:55
  it lied four square, and the length is as large
• 2:18:59
  as the breath. And he measured the city with a read.
• 2:19:03
  Twelve thousand follows. And the Bible says, the length and
• 2:19:07
  the breath and the heights are what that balanced city
• 2:19:12
  is the Lamb's wife. No dimension was exaggerated before another.
• 2:19:17
  The length is the same as the height. The length
• 2:19:21
  is the same as the breath. When that bride becomes
• 2:19:25
  a balanced bride embracing all that dimension, indeed, she's now
• 2:19:30
  the Lamb's wife. The conclusion at the end of this
• 2:19:39
  teaching tonight, there will be two groups classically one.
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 2: Group, but for the discussion.
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 1: Two groups. Number one those who may have been victims
• 2:19:51
  of many or all these things that have been mentioned.
• 2:19:56
  And for you I have a word first John two
• 2:19:59
  one and two. First John two one on two. This
• 2:20:04
  is a word of encouragement. As we conclude, my little children,
• 2:20:07
  these things, I write onto you that he is seen,
• 2:20:09
  not for if any man saying, he gives you a
• 2:20:12
  word of hope, that we have and advocate with the Father,
• 2:20:15
  even Jesus the Righteous.
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 2: Verse two.
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 1: It says, for he is the propreciation for our sins,
• 2:20:22
  and not for us only, but the sins of the
• 2:20:25
  whole world. Isaiah fifty five, from verse six to seven.
• 2:20:29
  This is the word of hope for the first group
• 2:20:31
  that might be here. Fifty five, six and seven. Isaiah,
• 2:20:37
  seek here the Lord while he may be found, Call
• 2:20:42
  upon him while he's near.
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 2: Verse seven.
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 1: Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man
• 2:20:49
  his thoughts, he says. Let him return onto the Lord,
• 2:20:52
  and he will have messy upon him and our God
• 2:20:57
  and to our God, for he will upon them and pardon.
• 2:21:03
  So tonight is not for you to be discouraged. Tonight
• 2:21:06
  is for you to know that the messy of God
• 2:21:09
  is still available. God is exposing this so that his
• 2:21:12
  bride will be and remain purified. For the second group,
• 2:21:17
  there may be people who, by the messies of God
• 2:21:19
  are standing standing in many and most of these.
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 2: For you, I have a word of encouragement. As we
• 2:21:25
  wrap up.
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 1: First Corinthians, Chapter ten, from verse eleven and twelve. First
• 2:21:31
  Corinthians ten eleven and twelve, it says, now all these
• 2:21:35
  things happen onto them for examples, and they are written
• 2:21:40
  for our admonition upon whom the end of the world
• 2:21:44
  has come. Verse twelve. It says, wherefore, let him that
• 2:21:47
  think get his standard take heed less he falls. For
• 2:21:53
  those who have who God has help. It is not
• 2:21:56
  for you to be judgmental and to point hands at people.
• 2:21:59
  It is to take heed while you stand, bless you fall.
• 2:22:03
  The final scripture Second Corinthians one, from verse three and four.
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 2: We're about to pray, Blessed be the name of the Lord.
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 1: Allelujah, exaid blessed be God, even the father of our lord,
• 2:22:18
  Jesus Christ, the Father of messes and the God of
• 2:22:22
  all comfort. Verse four. He said, who comforted us in
• 2:22:27
  all our tribulations, that we may be able to comfort
• 2:22:31
  them which are in any trouble.
• 2:22:33
  Speaker 2: The reason why God comforted.
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 1: You is so that you can have the strength, the stamina,
• 2:22:39
  the experience to comfort them which are in any trouble
• 2:22:43
  by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. Tonight,
• 2:22:53
  God has commanded us as the body of Christ, but
• 2:22:57
  his refining fire has come to us, teaching us seven
• 2:23:02
  deadly scenes that we must obtain grace.
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 2: This is true for me, This is true for you,
• 2:23:09
  This is true for all of us.
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 1: The intention is that we become a bride purified, a
• 2:23:15
  church purified. I believe in the prophetic destiny of the
• 2:23:19
  Church in Nigeria. I believe in the prophetic destiny of
• 2:23:23
  the Church in Africa, in spite of all of the
• 2:23:27
  decadence and all the things that may be happening, a
• 2:23:31
  mix of strength and weaknesses, a mix of crowns and pains.
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 2: I have one word for you.
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 1: Christ is still the head of his church, and I
• 2:23:40
  want to tell you, at the end of it, it
• 2:23:42
  is victory.
• 2:23:43
  Speaker 2: At the end of it, it is grace. Rise upon
• 2:23:46
  your feet as we pray, only she.
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 1: Will reign forever to his king and hell know.
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 2: And there are names, there are.
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 1: Tihitos, there are ledge and sentails of strength, but only
• 2:24:16
  a shoes welling forwever to his king.
• 2:24:23
  Speaker 7: Now help, there are kings, there are kingdoms, there are
• 2:24:35
  mountains and their thrones, but only a shoe.
• 2:24:42
  Speaker 1: Are We're ring for heaven to his kingdom? Nolp no,
• 2:24:50
  and not listen. I know that our time is gone,
• 2:24:55
  but I'm going to give everyone two minutes. No prayer
• 2:24:59
  point between you and the God of your salvation. I
• 2:25:03
  read the list for you. You know where it affects you.
• 2:25:06
  Forget about the body of Christ and focus on yourself.
• 2:25:09
  Forget about damn and think about me. In one minute,
• 2:25:13
  can you lift your voice and cry, be merciful onto me,
• 2:25:16
  Oh God, according to your loving kindness, Go and pray,
• 2:25:20
  Please pray, pray while I read the list for you again.
• 2:25:27
  For you in one minute. It may be sexual immorality
• 2:25:31
  and related perversions number two. It may be lost for
• 2:25:37
  money and material things and obsession for it. It may
• 2:25:42
  be the practice of witchcraft and extra biblical practices. It
• 2:25:47
  may be pride, vain, glory, and self centeredness. For you,
• 2:25:52
  it may be the scene of the tongue. You are
• 2:25:54
  brought pain to several people by your speakings. For someone,
• 2:26:01
  it may be competition and on healthy comparison, and yet
• 2:26:06
  for another, and even for many, it may be trivializing
• 2:26:11
  and refusing to embrace the whole counsel of God.
• 2:26:14
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter where I like you to pray. Go
• 2:26:18
  ahead and cry to the Lord one minute. Please pray.
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 1: If someone pray, I cast my crown before the High Yes,
• 2:26:40
  row reality, I am man done before your glorious mageousity,

  Speaker 1: Messy, your God upon my life. Pray for your children,
• 2:27:34
  Pray for your spouse, Pray for Cononia, Pray for Joshua Selman.
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 2: Pray for every man of God you know and love.
• 2:27:41
  Pray for the body of Christ.
• 2:27:43
  Speaker 1: We stand as responsible people, and we cry to the
• 2:27:48
  God who shows Messy. We desire to be that purified bride,
• 2:27:53
  that purified church. Salina sabahaskapran di Gaebelacus theater, Allelujah, allelujah.
• 2:28:08
  Now you are here and you want to make it
• 2:28:10
  right with Jesus. There is no point coming here and
• 2:28:13
  hearing this kind of teaching tonight. His word has come
• 2:28:17
  as a refiners fire, and you're saying, apostle, thank you.
• 2:28:21
  This is what God has been trying to tell me.
• 2:28:23
  Finally he has spoken to me. You know that you
• 2:28:26
  need to make that decision for Jesus. Genuinely listen to me.
• 2:28:31
  Anyone who does not have his spirit. The Bible says
• 2:28:34
  he is none of his and while we do not condemn,
• 2:28:39
  we pray that God will touch your heart. I'm going
• 2:28:42
  to make an altar call for two people in one.
• 2:28:45
  Let's manimize movement.
• 2:28:46
  Speaker 2: Please.
• 2:28:47
  Speaker 1: Number one, someone who is saying, apostle, I need Jesus.
• 2:28:51
  Hearing you speak, I know that I need to make
• 2:28:54
  that decision. Perhaps you are here and you have never
• 2:28:59
  truly made that decision for Jesus. You may have been
• 2:29:01
  going to churches yearing men of God, even inviting others.
• 2:29:05
  Remember what I started with, that Jesus is coming soon.
• 2:29:09
  He truly is coming, and he's coming for a bride
• 2:29:12
  without spots or rinko. Number two, there are those who
• 2:29:15
  are saying apostle in light of what you have said.
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 2: Now I need Jesus. I need to make it afresh.
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 1: I know that it may have been decades of working
• 2:29:26
  or living in saying, but Jesus wants to give you
• 2:29:28
  a new beginning. Wherever you are, I'm going to count
• 2:29:32
  one to five. I want you to come. Place one
• 2:29:36
  A one who.
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 2: Was lost but now I'm found, was blind.

• 2:31:46
  is because he's giving us a new beginning.

  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 2:31:50
  Speaker 1: The Bible says, for God soul, love the world, that
• 2:31:53
  he gave his one and only begotten son, that whosoever
• 2:31:56
  believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
• 2:32:00
  Speaker 2: I salute you for the courage.

• 2:32:05

  a rebroadcast. Probably somebody is listening to this who may
• 2:32:11
  be listening to this many weeks and.
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 2: Months and years to come.
• 2:32:15

• 2:32:19
  flogging it out with destiny, find hope. The messy of
• 2:32:23
  God is still intact. He renews it every morning. That
• 2:32:26
  is how far his loving kindness can reach. Lift your

• 2:32:52
  want you to help me. I want you to make me.
• 2:32:55
  I receive Jesus into my heart. As my Lord, I'm savior.

  Speaker 1: I declare that from tonight the power of sin, Satan, hell,
• 2:33:11
