- 2:41Speaker 3: Lifted up.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Can you turn it into a very simple prayer tonight?
- 2:51Speaker 1: This is why I desire to flourish. Someone is praying.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Phenomenal revelations that have come. From this altar to your destiny.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Someone is praying. Let it be a desperate cry and
- 3:06Speaker 1: a desperate desire. Someone pray in one minute. Let this
- 3:36Speaker 1: final session be most edifying to your spirit man. In
- 3:45Speaker 1: Jesus mighty name we pray. I don't intend to break
- 3:50Speaker 1: the flow. It's been a phenomenal time. As I just
- 3:53Speaker 1: sat down listening to Pastor Jerry. Phenomenal revelation. Phenomenal revelation.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Phenomenal revelation.
- 4:02Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Didn't have the opportunity to follow other speakers, but I
- 4:07Speaker 1: was so blessed. Just the revelations that have come, that
- 4:11Speaker 1: alone should be able to shift someone else. You see,
- 4:14Speaker 1: the assignment of revelations is to create transitions. Revelations forbid
- 4:19Speaker 1: you from remaining at the same level. Every time genuine
- 4:23Speaker 1: light come, they come with a force that propels forward.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Revelations do not move people backward.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Are we together? It can propel a man forward.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Forward and while standing please let's honor the angel over
- 4:36Speaker 1: this house reverend sam and his lovely wife we honor
- 4:40Speaker 1: you sir sincerely hallelujah praise the name of the lord
- 4:45Speaker 1: pastor jerry's left and then apostle opie is here i
- 4:48Speaker 1: met other incredible men and women of god i honor
- 4:51Speaker 1: everyone who's mounted this pulpit serving god's grace the lord
- 4:55Speaker 1: bless you ma the lord bless you sir in the name.
- 4:58Speaker 3: Of jesus please let's be seated for a few.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Minutes I know that our time is stretched and I
- 5:03Speaker 1: do not intend to keep us longer than necessary. But
- 5:06Speaker 1: just to wrap up tonight's session with a thought that
- 5:10Speaker 1: was strong in my mind, just like Pastor Jerry shared,
- 5:14Speaker 1: time will not allow me to do justice to the
- 5:16Speaker 1: things that I've written. But I just decided to pick
- 5:18Speaker 1: up three important aspects of my notes that.
- 5:24Speaker 3: I just want to bring and then we'll pray.
- 5:28Speaker 1: I was to teach on growth and enlargement. But then
- 5:31Speaker 1: I believe with all my heart that that which God
- 5:36Speaker 1: is going to be doing in our lives even after today.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Please listen.
- 5:41Speaker 1: That in the name of Jesus Christ by next year
- 5:44Speaker 1: advance you will return a thousand times greater.
- 5:49Speaker 3: Shout a believing amen.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Psalm 115 verse 14.
- 5:57Speaker 3: We'll just consider two scriptures.
- 5:58Speaker 1: 115 and verse 14.
- 6:01Speaker 3: I'd like you to read it as a prophetic word
- 6:03Speaker 3: to your destiny. Are you ready?
- 6:05Speaker 1: The Bible says, may the Lord give you increase more
- 6:09Speaker 1: and more.
- 6:10Speaker 3: For you and for your children. Say amen. May the
- 6:14Speaker 3: Lord give you increase more and more. Hallelujah.
- 6:22Speaker 4: So there are principles that are responsible for growth, excellence,
- 6:28Speaker 4: and flourishing at any level And a number of them,
- 6:31Speaker 4: I believe, have been considered in various forms and various
- 6:35Speaker 4: fashions by the speakers.
- 6:37Speaker 1: I do not intend to get into all of those discussions,
- 6:41Speaker 1: especially because.
- 6:41Speaker 3: I'm wrapping up today's session.
- 6:43Speaker 1: But I desire to share, in addition to probably all
- 6:49Speaker 1: that you've heard, just three principles to connect to and
- 6:53Speaker 1: connect with all that we've heard as far as the
- 6:57Speaker 1: matter of growth and increase goes.
- 7:00Speaker 3: Is concerned. Number one.
- 7:02Speaker 1: The first thing I want to share. As a principle
- 7:05Speaker 1: that supports growth and flourishing. Is the power of correct perception.
- 7:12Speaker 1: The power of correct perception. Jeremiah chapter 1 please. Would
- 7:18Speaker 1: you give us 11 and 12. Preferably from amplified. Jeremiah
- 7:23Speaker 1: chapter 1. So the discussion begins from verse 5. The
- 7:26Speaker 1: young Jeremiah is discussing with God. And this was a
- 7:30Speaker 1: matter relating to his life, his purpose, and his destiny.
- 7:34Speaker 1: And it says, while you were yet a child, while
- 7:37Speaker 1: you were in your mother's womb, before you came forth,
- 7:40Speaker 1: I called you and ordained you to be a prophet
- 7:43Speaker 1: unto the nations. By the time we get to verse 11, please,
- 7:47Speaker 1: the Bible says, the word of the Lord came to
- 7:49Speaker 1: me saying, Jeremiah, what do you see?
- 7:54Speaker 3: KJV will say, what seest thou?
- 7:56Speaker 1: And then he replies by saying, I see the branch
- 7:59Speaker 1: of an almond tree. Let's shout verse 12 together if
- 8:03Speaker 1: you can see it projected.
- 8:04Speaker 3: One, two, three, please.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Then the Lord said unto me, you have seen well,
- 8:11Speaker 1: for I am actively watching over.
- 8:14Speaker 3: My word to fulfill it. The power of correct perception.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
- 8:20Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Many, many people have been limited in life, in business,
- 8:26Speaker 1: in ministry, in career, not necessarily because of the wrongdoings
- 8:33Speaker 1: as far as adhering to the principles of growth is concerned,
- 8:37Speaker 1: but that intrinsically there is something wrong with their understanding,
- 8:42Speaker 1: their orientation, and their perception.
- 8:44Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
- 8:46Speaker 1: That The reality that is before you is as defined
- 8:51Speaker 1: by your mindset. The reality that is before you is
- 8:55Speaker 1: as defined by your orientation. Two people can be in
- 9:00Speaker 1: a situation, perhaps a challenging situation. And for one person,
- 9:04Speaker 1: he sees it as an opportunity to rise, to thrive.
- 9:08Speaker 1: I hope you know that the same wind. Connecting to
- 9:11Speaker 1: the flow of the teachings we've had, the same wind
- 9:14Speaker 1: that blows on the palm tree blows on every other tree.
- 9:17Speaker 3: It does not uniquely isolate the palm tree.
- 9:21Speaker 1: No. When the wind blows, it has no prejudices or biases.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Every tree that is before the wind gets affected by
- 9:30Speaker 1: the wind. What they define by the movement of the
- 9:33Speaker 1: wind is left to their perception.
- 9:35Speaker 3: But as for the wind, it will move. Are we
- 9:40Speaker 3: together now?
- 9:41Speaker 1: The wind moves on the mango tree like it moves
- 9:44Speaker 1: on the palm tree.
- 9:46Speaker 3: The wind moves on.
- 9:47Speaker 1: The shrubs like it moves on the established trees. You
- 9:50Speaker 1: will think the size of the tree should create some
- 9:53Speaker 1: kind of empathy. When the wind moves, it moves. The
- 9:58Speaker 1: survival of the tree is does not depend on whether
- 10:01Speaker 1: the wind comes or not they have been able to
- 10:03Speaker 1: redefine a strategy for survival the power of accurate perception
- 10:09Speaker 1: there are people today the greatest miracle happened to their
- 10:13Speaker 1: lives and in their lives and from their lives because
- 10:16Speaker 1: of the challenges they went through Are we together? A
- 10:20Speaker 1: ministry was birthed out of a woman's many years of
- 10:23Speaker 1: not having a child, for instance. She would have lived
- 10:26Speaker 1: in regret and pain, attracting sympathy from across the nations.
- 10:30Speaker 3: But she decided to redefine.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Listen, it is not what happens to you that hurts you.
- 10:36Speaker 1: It's the meaning you give to it. Why does one
- 10:41Speaker 1: million excite you today and frustrate you tomorrow?
- 10:45Speaker 3: It was always one million.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Your perception was lower than 1 million.
- 10:49Speaker 3: So it was a miracle.
- 10:51Speaker 1: When your perception rose higher than 1 million, it became
- 10:54Speaker 1: a source of frustration. You need more. You need a
- 10:57Speaker 1: higher dimension of that money. So 1 million no longer
- 11:01Speaker 1: blesses you. Whereas when you were looking up to it,
- 11:05Speaker 1: it was a miracle.
- 11:06Speaker 3: You see that now? My life changed.
- 11:10Speaker 1: When I discovered that if you can change your perception,
- 11:16Speaker 1: If I call someone now and I tell you I
- 11:19Speaker 1: just sent one million naira to your account. You start laughing.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Then I say, hey pray fool. Now hold on, hold on.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Even if I did not say hey pray fool and
- 11:30Speaker 1: I was lying. You were still happy. Because you trusted
- 11:35Speaker 1: what I was saying. Even without seeing the alert. Look
- 11:38Speaker 1: at the vacillations in your mood. And yet the truth
- 11:42Speaker 1: is I never even sent anything. Don't even have your
- 11:44Speaker 1: account number. But I said something to you that affected
- 11:48Speaker 1: your interpretation.
- 11:50Speaker 3: Are we together now? And you became happy.
- 11:53Speaker 1: And as soon as you found out I was joking,
- 11:55Speaker 1: it changed. Your destiny is at the mercy of your
- 12:02Speaker 1: perception even beyond the wind that blows.
- 12:06Speaker 3: The wind that blows, blows on everybody.
- 12:08Speaker 1: The challenges you are facing is not personal to you.
- 12:11Speaker 1: It's just a limited mindset that makes you think you
- 12:14Speaker 1: are uniquely isolated for suffering.
- 12:16Speaker 3: It's a lie.
- 12:17Speaker 1: You are not the first to look for money. You
- 12:18Speaker 1: are not the first to look for land.
- 12:20Speaker 3: Hello?
- 12:22Speaker 1: You are not the first to trust God for grace
- 12:24Speaker 1: to scale your reputation. It's a reality and a challenge
- 12:28Speaker 1: that befalls all men who seek growth. But what distinguishes
- 12:32Speaker 1: failures and those who thrive.
- 12:34Speaker 3: And excel is their perception.
- 12:38Speaker 1: And when your perception is carved out of scripture, it
- 12:41Speaker 1: becomes an anchor. You see, because it takes a while
- 12:46Speaker 1: for results to happen.
- 12:48Speaker 3: Did you hear what I said?
- 12:49Speaker 1: The day a woman gets pregnant is not the day
- 12:52Speaker 1: she gives birth.
- 12:53Speaker 3: No matter how healthy she is.
- 12:55Speaker 1: So when you see a woman who is one month pregnant,
- 12:58Speaker 1: her inability to give birth is not.
- 13:00Speaker 3: A health issue.
- 13:01Speaker 1: It's a process issue. You don't pray and say, Madam,
- 13:05Speaker 1: eat well, eat better. There are times all you are
- 13:08Speaker 1: doing is right. All you need to do is to
- 13:11Speaker 1: redefine your perception and sustain the staying power.
- 13:18Speaker 3: Listen. Are we together?
- 13:23Speaker 1: What is your interpretation of failure? Who called it failure?
- 13:29Speaker 3: It matters who feeds your interpretation.
- 13:32Speaker 1: When man came in Adam and Eve in Genesis chapter 1.
- 13:38Speaker 1: The Bible tells us as far as we know and
- 13:41Speaker 1: as far as we read. That they never heard anyone
- 13:44Speaker 1: speak to them. The first person who framed the understanding
- 13:48Speaker 1: of Adam. Was God himself. And what he had was
- 13:51Speaker 1: be fruitful. That was the perception he had. But when
- 13:56Speaker 1: the serpent came. The serpent came to Eve. And said
- 14:00Speaker 1: the first thing I want to know. Is what God
- 14:02Speaker 1: told you. I will have to depend on what he
- 14:05Speaker 1: has said. To alter your perception. If I cannot find
- 14:10Speaker 1: out what God has said. It becomes difficult to deceive you.
- 14:14Speaker 1: He says I fear. Less as Satan beguiled Eve. You
- 14:19Speaker 1: see that now? And he said, so what has God
- 14:23Speaker 1: told you? We may freely eat of all the trees
- 14:26Speaker 1: except this one. The day we eat, we will die.
- 14:28Speaker 3: He said, aha.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Don't you think God may be hiding something from you?
- 14:33Speaker 1: He knows that when you eat, your eyes will be opened.
- 14:35Speaker 1: You will be as the God, knowing good and evil.
- 14:38Speaker 1: The Bible says, when the woman saw, saw, her perception
- 14:43Speaker 1: became altered. Her perception changed. She did not see value
- 14:47Speaker 1: in obedience again. She did not see value in honoring
- 14:50Speaker 1: the words of God again. The Bible says when she
- 14:53Speaker 1: saw that it was good for food and it was
- 14:56Speaker 1: desire to make a man wise, her.
- 15:01Speaker 3: Action was in honor to her perception.
- 15:04Speaker 1: There are many of you, what you are binding today
- 15:06Speaker 1: was the answer to your prayer. It's just that your
- 15:09Speaker 1: perception has not yet been put together.
- 15:12Speaker 3: Are we together?
- 15:13Speaker 1: You prayed and said, God lift me. And in doing so,
- 15:17Speaker 1: he took you. How do you think Joseph was going
- 15:19Speaker 1: to become a prime minister? If God described the detail
- 15:25Speaker 1: for Joseph on how he would become a prime minister,
- 15:28Speaker 1: he would reject every part of that. Is that true?
- 15:32Speaker 1: So the way God works is that he does not
- 15:34Speaker 1: tell you how you will get there. He only gives
- 15:37Speaker 1: you the end point. So that you will know that
- 15:39Speaker 1: the end is the manifestation of God's glory. But you
- 15:42Speaker 1: will have to depend on him for every work. How
- 15:45Speaker 1: do you call throwing a man into a well as advancement?
- 15:49Speaker 1: How do you call selling a man by his brothers
- 15:53Speaker 1: as progress?
- 15:54Speaker 3: If I were.
- 15:55Speaker 1: Joseph's pastor, right from the well, I would.
- 15:57Speaker 3: Be binding the spirit and say, Lord, let this.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Boy return back to his father's house. Yet I will
- 16:02Speaker 1: be aborting the destiny of a great man.
- 16:07Speaker 3: The power of accurate perception.
- 16:13Speaker 1: He says, yea, though I walk through the valley of
- 16:15Speaker 1: the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for
- 16:18Speaker 1: thou art with me. I thought you would say for
- 16:20Speaker 1: thou remove me. For thou art with me. Why did
- 16:24Speaker 1: you come to join me there? Isn't it more profitable
- 16:27Speaker 1: to remove me? Ask the three Hebrew boys.
- 16:31Speaker 3: If they were.
- 16:31Speaker 1: Removed from the fire arbitrarily, there would be no miracle.
- 16:34Speaker 1: The miracle was because they were in the fire, not
- 16:37Speaker 1: because they were delivered. The miracle was because they were
- 16:40Speaker 1: in the fire, not because they were delivered. If they
- 16:44Speaker 1: avoided the fire, it would not be miracle enough. Not
- 16:48Speaker 1: enough for the king to change his decree.
- 16:53Speaker 3: Are we together?
- 16:55Speaker 1: Many believers don't know how their answer looks like. This
- 16:58Speaker 1: is the reason why we pray without profit. Because many
- 17:02Speaker 1: believers have not been trained to understand how God answers prayers.
- 17:08Speaker 1: The Bible tells us Reverend Sam. Remember I'm not.
- 17:12Speaker 3: It's a charge. It's a charge and we'll wrap up. Hallelujah.
- 17:17Speaker 1: I'm wrapping up the conference. So you've had enough. You've
- 17:19Speaker 1: been here from morning. So let me just do my
- 17:21Speaker 1: final charge.
- 17:24Speaker 3: In Acts chapter 12 the Bible tells us.
- 17:27Speaker 1: That they locked Peter in a prison.
- 17:30Speaker 3: And bound him hand and feet. Are we together now?
- 17:35Speaker 1: And then the Bible says the church said let's come
- 17:37Speaker 1: together and pray.
- 17:38Speaker 3: Watch this.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Because the purposes of God.
- 17:41Speaker 3: Needed to make progress. And they were praying.
- 17:46Speaker 1: And the Bible tells us that it pleased Herod to
- 17:49Speaker 1: vex certain Jews.
- 17:50Speaker 3: After they beheaded James, he saw that it pleased them.
- 17:54Speaker 1: And he kept Peter, that after the Passover, he would
- 17:56Speaker 1: hand them to the people. Then the Bible says in
- 17:59Speaker 1: verse 5, verse 6, it said, but prayer was made
- 18:02Speaker 1: by the church unto God for him. In honor and
- 18:06Speaker 1: in response to that prayer.
- 18:08Speaker 3: An angel comes.
- 18:09Speaker 1: And the Bible says that angel brought deliverance for Peter.
- 18:12Speaker 3: But the most.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Disturbing part of that scripture. Is that after Peter escaped.
- 18:17Speaker 1: And finally got to the door where they were praying.
- 18:20Speaker 1: He now knocked the door and said I have arrived.
- 18:22Speaker 1: They opened the door and saw him and said no.
- 18:25Speaker 1: They thought it was his angel. And closed the door
- 18:28Speaker 1: back and kept praying.
- 18:29Speaker 3: Perception. Perception. You prayed and said, God, honor me.
- 18:40Speaker 1: And he sent you to a company with unfavorable conditions.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Look beyond the conditions. That is where your destiny helper
- 18:46Speaker 1: will meet you. Pharaoh would never have met Joseph in
- 18:52Speaker 1: the house.
- 18:53Speaker 3: Of his father. No. There was no connection.
- 18:57Speaker 1: In fact, it was even through Joseph that Jacob and
- 19:01Speaker 1: all his other sons were redeemed. Listen, this is a lesson.
- 19:05Speaker 3: Perception.
- 19:08Speaker 1: So that you can rejoice in the Lord always even
- 19:11Speaker 1: when it does not make sense. You may be owing
- 19:13Speaker 1: the rent but that pressure was mounted upon your spirit
- 19:16Speaker 1: to help.
- 19:16Speaker 3: You study finances once and for all.
- 19:19Speaker 1: So that you don't embarrass yourself at a transcontinental level.
- 19:23Speaker 1: From that level you can study and make up your mind.
- 19:27Speaker 1: There is a healthy pressure that life needs to come.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Pain can be a gift. You must learn to receive
- 19:35Speaker 1: the gift of pain. You don't like what I'm saying?
- 19:40Speaker 1: Like it or not, if it is growth that you desire.
- 19:45Speaker 1: An angel appears to Mary, Reverend Sam, and says, you
- 19:49Speaker 1: are high.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Favored.
- 19:51Speaker 1: I have studied the life of Mary carefully. I do
- 19:54Speaker 1: not find anything there that represents favor by my definition.
- 19:59Speaker 1: If an angel from God comes to tell you you
- 20:02Speaker 1: are highly favored, somebody should die who is your enemy.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Somebody should give you a gift. The next thing.
- 20:08Speaker 3: That surrounded that woman was trouble.
- 20:11Speaker 1: First, Joseph said, I've been hearing that you are pregnant.
- 20:16Speaker 3: And I'm innocent.
- 20:18Speaker 1: And because of that, you are whatever rabbi. You are
- 20:21Speaker 1: about to lose your marriage. And then every time you
- 20:24Speaker 1: are about to lose your marriage, what you are hearing
- 20:26Speaker 1: is you are highly favored. Not just favored. What is
- 20:29Speaker 1: the favor and the trouble that came? And then after
- 20:31Speaker 1: enduring that pregnancy, about to give birth. They will not
- 20:35Speaker 1: even let you give birth to your child in peace.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Then to hear that Herod is looking for you and
- 20:40Speaker 1: your child. Describe for me using spiritual intelligence what is
- 20:45Speaker 1: favorable about that situation. And even after Jesus was born,
- 20:52Speaker 1: there was no special honor anywhere that was given to
- 20:55Speaker 1: Mary that showed that it was favor. That one day
- 20:58Speaker 1: Jesus put a triumphant entry and said, today I want
- 21:00Speaker 1: to introduce the woman that suffered, you have no idea.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Yet the Bible says favor. She was even part of
- 21:07Speaker 1: the 120 that had to endure to receive the Holy Ghost.
- 21:11Speaker 1: No special treatment. The same Holy Ghost that came and
- 21:14Speaker 1: got her pregnant, she had to join the other people
- 21:16Speaker 1: to wait.
- 21:22Speaker 3: Perception.
- 21:26Speaker 1: Have you been casting your miracle away? Have you been
- 21:30Speaker 1: prolonging pain because you do not have the eye in
- 21:33Speaker 1: the spirit.
- 21:33Speaker 3: To see grace when it comes? Are we together now?
- 21:37Speaker 1: This was the problem with the wife of the sons
- 21:40Speaker 1: of the prophet. The Bible tells us that in the house,
- 21:44Speaker 1: Reverend Sam, it says in the dwelling of the wives,
- 21:47Speaker 1: there are two things you will always find. Treasure and oil.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Treasure is flamboyant, attractive, you can see it. But the
- 21:55Speaker 1: oil is why the treasure remains. And when the treasure
- 21:58Speaker 1: had depleted in that woman's house, there was still oil left.
- 22:02Speaker 1: And the woman said, I have nothing. This was her perception.
- 22:07Speaker 1: I have nothing.
- 22:08Speaker 3: I consider my son as something.
- 22:11Speaker 1: Not knowing it was the oil that brought him.
- 22:13Speaker 3: I consider all my estates as something.
- 22:15Speaker 1: They all left.
- 22:16Speaker 3: But in the house of the wise there are treasures left.
- 22:19Speaker 3: And there is oil.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Even when the treasures deplete, your confidence is that. And
- 22:24Speaker 1: you see, the treasure is usually in golden vessels. But
- 22:28Speaker 1: the oil is in earthen vessels. So if you are
- 22:31Speaker 1: asked to choose, the treasure looks more attractive and glorious
- 22:35Speaker 1: than the oil.
- 22:36Speaker 3: Yet the oil is why the treasure comes. Are we together?
- 22:42Speaker 3: Are we together? And the Bible says she went to
- 22:46Speaker 3: the prophet.
- 22:47Speaker 1: And the prophet said, you said your husband was a prophet.
- 22:50Speaker 1: If it is true that that man was a prophet,
- 22:53Speaker 1: it means he had the wisdom of God.
- 22:54Speaker 3: Go and check your house.
- 22:56Speaker 1: It can't be that there is nothing.
- 22:58Speaker 3: It's a lie.
- 22:58Speaker 1: The problem is your perception. If it is true that
- 23:04Speaker 1: he was a prophet, there must be oil in that house.
- 23:07Speaker 1: I agree that the treasure has gone in exchange for
- 23:10Speaker 1: the debt, but there must be oil. And she said,
- 23:13Speaker 1: it's true, but it's small. He said, no, go and
- 23:16Speaker 1: borrow vessels. The size of the oil is a description
- 23:20Speaker 1: of your mindset. You don't borrow oil, but you can
- 23:23Speaker 1: borrow vessels. And he said, in borrowing, borrow not a few.
- 23:26Speaker 1: Expand your capacity. Enlarge your capacity. Go and borrow vessels.
- 23:34Speaker 3: Listen, listen.
- 23:36Speaker 1: To borrow vessels. Except borrow not a few. Go and
- 23:42Speaker 1: borrow vessels. The oil is not small. It's because administrative
- 23:46Speaker 1: excellence has not been added to the oil. That's why
- 23:49Speaker 1: you've not seen what it can do. Go and borrow vessels.
- 23:53Speaker 1: It's because financial intelligence has not been added to your
- 23:56Speaker 1: prophetic gift.
- 23:57Speaker 3: That's why you cannot see the excellence that comes from it.
- 24:01Speaker 1: For as long as your oil is in a small container,
- 24:04Speaker 1: limited by your mindset, your thinking, and your perception, the
- 24:08Speaker 1: oil that can save nations will be hiding in the
- 24:10Speaker 1: room of a woman. There was nothing the prophet gave her.
- 24:15Speaker 1: He only showed her how to see well. Can I
- 24:21Speaker 1: tell you the truth? That singing ability God put within you,
- 24:26Speaker 1: it still has the power to feed you, feed your
- 24:28Speaker 1: generation and serve the purposes of the kingdom. But the
- 24:31Speaker 1: reason is because if you don't train your spirit to
- 24:35Speaker 1: see well, you will keep throwing out of your life
- 24:39Speaker 1: through disdain something that is another person's prayer point. Most
- 24:46Speaker 1: of the things we use today for the glory of God,
- 24:48Speaker 1: we always had it within us. It didn't just come.
- 24:52Speaker 1: It was primed by correcting your perception. There are many
- 24:57Speaker 1: noisemakers who are preachers. But they are living profitless lives
- 25:00Speaker 1: because of their perception. They have not been able to
- 25:03Speaker 1: coordinate their energy to focus it well. So that it
- 25:07Speaker 1: brings them increase and lifts them. What seest thou? He
- 25:13Speaker 1: said the rod of an almond tree. What did you
- 25:17Speaker 1: call the job loss?
- 25:18Speaker 3: I am finished.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Your definition has given it a meaning that has pegged you.
- 25:22Speaker 1: And for 10 years you will remain there. But for
- 25:25Speaker 1: another person he looks at it and says. Could this
- 25:28Speaker 1: be how my next testimony is about to come? He
- 25:31Speaker 1: sees the job loss as the end of a season.
- 25:33Speaker 1: And the beginning of another. And instead of crying he
- 25:36Speaker 1: begins to give praise. While he waits for what?
- 25:39Speaker 3: Three people were relieved of their job.
- 25:41Speaker 1: But one person would praise and celebrate God into the
- 25:44Speaker 1: next season. And another will be attracting sympathy in pain.
- 25:48Speaker 1: The prayer you need to pray if you really want
- 25:50Speaker 1: to rise is for God to grant you a changed perception.
- 25:55Speaker 1: I tell you sincerely, right from when I was in Zaria,
- 25:58Speaker 1: I refused to see Zaria. Zaria came out of my
- 26:01Speaker 1: mind years ago. Perception has an energy. It has an
- 26:09Speaker 1: attracting power. It will draw people to your life that
- 26:12Speaker 1: reflect your limitation. You can be in a limited place,
- 26:16Speaker 1: but because your perception is global, kingdom, excellence, superior, you
- 26:21Speaker 1: will mysteriously draw people that reflect your growth and your excellence.
- 26:25Speaker 3: This is true.
- 26:26Speaker 1: Religion and psychology both agree on this. That there is
- 26:29Speaker 1: an energy that propels out of the health of your thinking.
- 26:33Speaker 3: And can draw to your life.
- 26:35Speaker 1: People, conditions and resources consistent.
- 26:39Speaker 3: With your belief and your perceptions. Are we learning?
- 26:47Speaker 1: What seest thou? I see the rod of an almond tree.
- 26:53Speaker 1: Let me reduce my points from three to two. I
- 26:56Speaker 1: will just give us one more and we'll pray. The
- 26:59Speaker 1: final principle, and I believe that this beautifully ties up
- 27:03Speaker 1: everything you probably have learned through this conference and even
- 27:06Speaker 1: through today, is the power of the prophetic. Let me
- 27:11Speaker 1: show you something about the prophetic advantage that if not
- 27:15Speaker 1: introduced in the life of a man, all factors can
- 27:18Speaker 1: be right, but you will still fail. The prophetic has
- 27:23Speaker 1: such superior significance In helping us become. In helping us thrive.
- 27:30Speaker 1: In helping us remain. Are you ready for this? Mark
- 27:34Speaker 1: 11 please. We've been talking about trees today. There is
- 27:38Speaker 1: a kind of tree.
- 27:39Speaker 3: I want you to look at. Mark chapter 11. Oh,
- 27:47Speaker 3: rest on me. Let your spirit, spirit of.
- 27:52Speaker 5: Wisdom rest on me, rest on me. Let your spirit,
- 28:00Speaker 5: spirit of wisdom rest on me, rest on me.
- 28:06Speaker 3: Oh, rest on me. Oh, rest on me.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Oh, oh.
- 28:25Speaker 3: For sake of time, I want us to start from
- 28:27Speaker 3: verse 20. I'll give you the story. So Jesus is hungry.
- 28:32Speaker 1: And the Bible tells us that he was hungry at
- 28:34Speaker 1: a time and a season where it was not the
- 28:37Speaker 1: time for figs. But Jesus sees a fig tree. We're
- 28:44Speaker 1: talking trees now. He shall be like a tree. So
- 28:51Speaker 1: let's examine one kind of tree. This tree was healthy,
- 28:57Speaker 1: connected to the root. This tree had leaves, meaning the
- 29:02Speaker 1: system of transferring nutrients was working. There was absolutely nothing
- 29:08Speaker 1: wrong with this tree. The leaves were green. Common agriculturists
- 29:12Speaker 1: talk to me, when leaves are green, it's a sign
- 29:15Speaker 1: of health. Yet, Fruits did not come. And when Jesus
- 29:20Speaker 1: saw it, you would think Jesus would be compassionate to
- 29:23Speaker 1: say every factor is in place. Let's give it time.
- 29:26Speaker 1: He caused it immediately. I read that scripture for many
- 29:32Speaker 1: years and I didn't. The faith part is not what,
- 29:34Speaker 1: why did Jesus have to cause that tree? It seemed
- 29:38Speaker 1: harsh to me. At least the Bible says it was
- 29:42Speaker 1: not the time of figs. Until I read the fact
- 29:46Speaker 1: that the Bible says he shall be like a tree.
- 29:49Speaker 3: If it is.
- 29:50Speaker 1: Planted by the riverside, there are expectations. The Bible says
- 29:54Speaker 1: it yields its fruit in season. Whose leaf does not wither,
- 29:58Speaker 1: it does not stop there. Then it says whatsoever he does.
- 30:03Speaker 1: There is a possibility on that tree that even though
- 30:05Speaker 1: it is not in season, because of the kind of
- 30:09Speaker 1: advantage it was introduced to, it should still produce.
- 30:13Speaker 3: Are we together now?
- 30:15Speaker 1: The Bible respects seasons, but it also tells you that
- 30:18Speaker 1: because life operates by times and seasons, there are times
- 30:22Speaker 1: that the factors are against you. You will need something
- 30:25Speaker 1: to help accelerate you and superimpose even beyond seasons. In
- 30:31Speaker 1: John chapter 5, it was a particular season the angel
- 30:35Speaker 1: came to stir the water.
- 30:36Speaker 3: You had to be patient for the season to come.
- 30:39Speaker 1: It was that once a year patience that made the
- 30:41Speaker 1: man's trouble get to 38 years. When Jesus came, now
- 30:45Speaker 1: if I leave this man until the next season, I
- 30:48Speaker 1: can do something. I have dominion over seasons. And the
- 30:51Speaker 1: Bible says right there and then. It was not yet
- 30:55Speaker 1: the season for the angel to steer the water, yet
- 30:57Speaker 1: because Jesus came. So Jesus was saying, my presence around
- 31:02Speaker 1: that fig tree should create an effect.
- 31:04Speaker 3: Beyond the seasons.
- 31:07Speaker 1: The fact that I grew close to that tree, don't
- 31:11Speaker 1: give me the excuse of agriculture again. If you understand
- 31:15Speaker 1: the value of my presence, the rod of Aaron budded
- 31:19Speaker 1: in 24 hours. It was not corrected to the root.
- 31:23Speaker 1: It failed every agricultural principle. But because the presence factor came,
- 31:28Speaker 1: it vetoed explanations and still produced. Seasons are powerful. But
- 31:36Speaker 1: do not peg your growth to only seasons. God starts
- 31:40Speaker 1: by teaching you the rudiments of growth. But later he
- 31:43Speaker 1: takes you to the inner chambers of the spirit. And
- 31:46Speaker 1: says let me show you what can distinguish you in
- 31:48Speaker 1: life and in destiny. He comes to the tree and
- 31:52Speaker 1: says I demand.
- 31:53Speaker 3: Of you fruit.
- 31:55Speaker 1: The effect of my presence should produce extraordinary results.
- 32:01Speaker 3: Are we together?
- 32:08Speaker 1: The prophetic is powerful. So the rod of Aaron, number one,
- 32:17Speaker 1: that it is rod. You know what makes a thing rod?
- 32:20Speaker 1: Rod means it has been detached from the root for
- 32:22Speaker 1: a long time. For anything to become a rod means
- 32:26Speaker 1: you have harvested it out of the root.
- 32:28Speaker 3: Are we together?
- 32:29Speaker 1: And like Pastor Jerry was sharing, when from a natural standpoint,
- 32:34Speaker 1: when a thing is detached, for whatever reason, it may
- 32:38Speaker 1: not even be the making of the tree. It was
- 32:40Speaker 1: people that came and caught it. The tree did.
- 32:43Speaker 3: Not have power.
- 32:44Speaker 1: Have you read the scripture that says, deliver me from
- 32:47Speaker 1: those who are more powerful than me. There are times
- 32:50Speaker 1: that the factors are beyond your control. It is not carelessness.
- 32:54Speaker 1: It is just that there are sentiments, tribal, racial sentiments.
- 32:58Speaker 1: You can get into an office. You are qualified.
- 33:01Speaker 3: You are excellent.
- 33:02Speaker 1: You are exceptional. But simply on account of your faith,
- 33:06Speaker 1: someone will stand up and beat my chest and say
- 33:08Speaker 1: you can be as learned as you want.
- 33:11Speaker 3: For as long as I am.
- 33:12Speaker 1: Here, you will not rise. You need to live long
- 33:16Speaker 1: enough to know that the wickedness factor on earth is
- 33:20Speaker 1: significant enough for you to be aware of it. That
- 33:24Speaker 1: the whole world lies in wickedness. And because of that,
- 33:27Speaker 1: it can interrupt the natural pace of how things should
- 33:30Speaker 1: have been. There are times that everything is right. But
- 33:34Speaker 1: simply because this is the world of men whose potentials
- 33:39Speaker 1: are tampered by the presence of demons and systems and
- 33:43Speaker 1: structures that consistently fights the program of God. Jesus brought
- 33:49Speaker 1: the presence factor to the tree. Yet the tree could
- 33:52Speaker 1: not see that there is an advantage you have beyond
- 33:55Speaker 1: just the agricultural provisions.
- 33:59Speaker 3: And Jesus cost it and left.
- 34:01Speaker 1: When he cursed it, the Bible says by the next
- 34:03Speaker 1: day when they came, they found that tree withered.
- 34:07Speaker 3: Question, if you were not there when.
- 34:09Speaker 1: Jesus was cursing the tree, you would come and stand
- 34:12Speaker 1: in front of that tree and be surprised. What was
- 34:14Speaker 1: wrong that the tree dried? The tree was still connected.
- 34:18Speaker 1: The wind did not come. It was not lack of rain.
- 34:23Speaker 1: The leaves were still green and suddenly turned overnight. Please
- 34:27Speaker 1: look at me. Even when winds blow, My apologies for this.
- 34:32Speaker 1: Please forgive me.
- 34:33Speaker 3: Are we together? Even when winds blow. Someone help me
- 34:36Speaker 3: with this, one of the ushers or anyone. Listen to me.
- 34:39Speaker 1: Even deterioration by natural means allows for time. But when
- 34:46Speaker 1: your tree withers overnight, it was supernaturally manipulated.
- 34:51Speaker 3: By any spirit. Are we together?
- 34:54Speaker 1: When your favor dries up overnight. That is not business
- 34:57Speaker 1: sense again. You need to step out and wear that
- 35:00Speaker 1: prophetic regalia. Something is wrong here.
- 35:05Speaker 3: Are we together?
- 35:08Speaker 1: There are times in your life. You will see occurrences.
- 35:11Speaker 1: That do not subscribe to the natural law of success.
- 35:14Speaker 1: Or the natural law of failure. You will see factors
- 35:18Speaker 1: that are. You will know that there are hands. engineering
- 35:21Speaker 1: tragedies at an accelerated rate. The natural course of life
- 35:26Speaker 1: is that people should live a useful life and die
- 35:28Speaker 1: in old age. By the time three of your destiny
- 35:31Speaker 1: helpers die in one week, you need to remove your,
- 35:34Speaker 1: it's not brain work again. You need a prophetic advantage.
- 35:38Speaker 1: Something is tampering with the natural course of my growth.
- 35:45Speaker 1: I hope you believe this. There are times that everything
- 35:53Speaker 1: can be right. In John chapter 21, Peter went to
- 35:58Speaker 1: go and fish. You talk of flourishing? Professionalism was in Peter.
- 36:03Speaker 1: He was a professional fisherman. He had the boat, the
- 36:06Speaker 1: right tool. He had the net, the right tool. He
- 36:09Speaker 1: was at the sea, the right place. All the factors
- 36:13Speaker 1: were there. Yet he did not catch fish. And yet
- 36:16Speaker 1: the fish was in that river. My question is who
- 36:19Speaker 1: took away the fish? Because the fish that later came
- 36:23Speaker 1: was still in that river. So that same business, there
- 36:26Speaker 1: is still profit in it. Why is it not coming
- 36:29Speaker 1: to you? Everything is there. The store is there. The
- 36:32Speaker 1: excellence is there. Yet he did not catch fish. When
- 36:36Speaker 1: Jesus showed up, he said, little children, have you any catch?
- 36:40Speaker 1: He said, we've been toiling now. He said, cast your
- 36:43Speaker 1: net to the right side. And the Bible says, as
- 36:47Speaker 1: they obeyed that prophetic instruction, There was, like we call it,
- 36:52Speaker 1: a net breaking, boat sinking, catch of fish. And Peter
- 36:58Speaker 1: saw that and he said, depart from me. You are
- 37:00Speaker 1: not a human being. Whoever you are, he said, this
- 37:02Speaker 1: has to be Jesus. Only him can produce this. Let
- 37:05Speaker 1: me tell you the truth. I wish I would tell
- 37:07Speaker 1: you that every result you would get in your life
- 37:10Speaker 1: would be as a product of productivity alone. Would be
- 37:13Speaker 1: a product of excellence and intelligence.
- 37:15Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong.
- 37:16Speaker 1: Every factor you have been taught stands valid. But because
- 37:20Speaker 1: you are living in the world that is not all scientific.
- 37:23Speaker 1: You are living in a world that is not all intellectual.
- 37:27Speaker 1: You are living in a world that was first spiritual.
- 37:29Speaker 1: Before it imported all these varieties of things. In all
- 37:33Speaker 1: you're getting. If you stop at the realm of brain.
- 37:36Speaker 1: In all you're getting. If you stop at the realm
- 37:39Speaker 1: of just productivity physically. You will be cheated in many
- 37:43Speaker 1: ways in life. This is why God sent us here.
- 37:46Speaker 1: I'm saying this because shortly we'll be speaking over your life.
- 37:51Speaker 3: Listen to me.
- 37:54Speaker 1: I compare the rod of Aaron and I compare the
- 37:58Speaker 1: tree that is in Mark 11. All I see is
- 38:03Speaker 1: injustice in my opinion. How does a rod not planted?
- 38:10Speaker 3: How does a rod....
- 38:13Speaker 1: That does not even have any possibility. Most likely it
- 38:16Speaker 1: might have been painted. Dead. But simply because it was
- 38:21Speaker 1: kept in the presence. Versus a tree that had its root.
- 38:27Speaker 1: And everything fine. I'm saying this because. If you don't
- 38:30Speaker 1: understand this. You will be annoyed with many people's results.
- 38:34Speaker 1: You will see the gaps and before those gaps are closed,
- 38:37Speaker 1: you will still see results. And the results will define
- 38:41Speaker 1: many explanations. I can tell you, some of them have
- 38:44Speaker 1: quietly smuggled themselves through prophetic conferences like this. And while
- 38:48Speaker 1: they are still learning the excellence, while they are still
- 38:51Speaker 1: learning productivity, they were foolish enough to shout amen to
- 38:55Speaker 1: a prophetic word that came from a man of God.
- 38:58Speaker 1: And as they shouted amen, while they were putting other
- 39:01Speaker 1: factors in place, that prophecy began to reprogram possibilities within
- 39:06Speaker 1: their space. As powerful as Jesus is and was, there
- 39:13Speaker 1: were three prophets that played a role in his life
- 39:16Speaker 1: for him to actually complete his assignment. Number one, Simeon
- 39:20Speaker 1: the prophet. Number two, Anna the prophetess. Number three, John
- 39:24Speaker 1: the Baptist. Jesus, the word incarnate Did he pray? Yes.
- 39:30Speaker 3: Did he fast? Yes. Did he study?
- 39:33Speaker 1: Yes. Was he under the scribes for learning?
- 39:36Speaker 3: Yes.
- 39:37Speaker 1: You would check all the list. Yet he would have
- 39:40Speaker 1: failed woefully. And even with all that prophetic. He almost
- 39:45Speaker 1: aborted destiny. If all you have is an intelligent mind.
- 39:52Speaker 1: Then there will be a very painful lesson you will
- 39:55Speaker 1: learn as you sojourn this wicked world. If all you
- 40:00Speaker 1: have is a good heart. That is profitable but not
- 40:04Speaker 1: enough for you to flourish. Let me tell you the truth.
- 40:07Speaker 1: Flourishing and thriving is proof of mastery. That you have
- 40:11Speaker 1: learned all the laws that keep things in place. Ladies
- 40:14Speaker 1: and gentlemen, I'm looking at people today. Who right from
- 40:18Speaker 1: the start of this conference. Listened attentively to speaker after speaker.
- 40:25Speaker 1: Intelligent facilitator after another. And most of you have learnt
- 40:29Speaker 1: all kinds of phenomenal principles that stand true eternally. Because
- 40:34Speaker 1: they are derived from the truth of scripture.
- 40:37Speaker 3: But I bring you a dimension to add to all
- 40:39Speaker 3: that you have heard.
- 40:41Speaker 1: The prophetic is a mysterious advantage. mysterious advantage.
- 40:49Speaker 3: Did you hear what I said?
- 40:51Speaker 1: Mysterious advantage. An advantage whose explanation does not relate with logic.
- 41:04Speaker 1: I am a product of prophecy. I know what prophecy
- 41:07Speaker 1: can do. I have seen what it has done to
- 41:09Speaker 1: people's lives. If it were by the natural course of life,
- 41:13Speaker 1: some of us would be far behind where we are today.
- 41:16Speaker 1: Prophecy is an accelerator. It can push men. It can
- 41:19Speaker 1: make things become. It can make things happen. I'm saying
- 41:23Speaker 1: this because as we wrap up in the next one
- 41:25Speaker 1: or two minutes, we're going to take time to pray,
- 41:28Speaker 1: even if it's just three minutes. I want you to cry. Lord,
- 41:31Speaker 1: my business, I've learned the principles. Listen, you can put
- 41:34Speaker 1: the store and employ staff, but only God brings customers.
- 41:41Speaker 1: The race is not to the swift, nor the battle
- 41:44Speaker 1: to the strong. Is that in your Bible? He said
- 41:48Speaker 1: it is vain to wake up early. What is wrong
- 41:50Speaker 1: with waking up early? Waking up early is a principle
- 41:53Speaker 1: of diligence. But it is still vain to wake up early.
- 41:57Speaker 1: What is sleeping in the night? That is the most
- 41:59Speaker 1: graphic representation of diligence. When you wake up in the night.
- 42:04Speaker 1: It says yet you will still eat the bread of sorrow.
- 42:06Speaker 1: For waking up early. The man who wakes up early
- 42:10Speaker 1: in the morning and sleeps late in the night, that
- 42:12Speaker 1: should be the most prosperous person. Unfortunately, there are factors
- 42:16Speaker 1: beyond your control. Paul said, I desire to come to
- 42:22Speaker 1: you even I, Paul, once and again. But Satan hindered us.
- 42:27Speaker 1: So based on your diligence, there are certain customers who
- 42:31Speaker 1: should come based on the natural course of diligence. Except
- 42:36Speaker 1: for the fact that because you have vowed. That your
- 42:39Speaker 1: money will promote the kingdom. When you were praying. It
- 42:41Speaker 1: was not only God that had you. Satan had you too.
- 42:44Speaker 1: And said what did you say your money will do
- 42:46Speaker 1: next year for advanced conference. That souls will be won.
- 42:49Speaker 1: Destinies will be changed. And while they are coming. There
- 42:55Speaker 1: is a diversion in the spirit. It says I know
- 42:58Speaker 1: that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer.
- 43:02Speaker 3: And the supply of the spirit of Christ Jesus. Hallelujah.
- 43:09Speaker 1: I have seen many visions in my life. And I
- 43:12Speaker 1: have seen many times where based on God's prophetic calendar,
- 43:16Speaker 1: certain things should have already happened in the lives of people.
- 43:19Speaker 1: So the lag is not God's desire that from prophecy
- 43:24Speaker 1: to manifestation, demons and all kinds of factors interrupted the
- 43:29Speaker 1: pace of the arrival.
- 43:30Speaker 3: And God knew that.
- 43:32Speaker 1: And that was the reason why he programmed the prophetic advantage.
- 43:35Speaker 1: Can I tell you the truth? Even unbelievers know the
- 43:38Speaker 1: power of the prophetic. Most of them will tell you
- 43:41Speaker 1: they did well, but they will not tell you who
- 43:42Speaker 1: spoke over them. By the privilege of God, God's grace,
- 43:46Speaker 1: every man of God here, woman of God, you have
- 43:49Speaker 1: had opportunities where you pray for unbelievers.
- 43:51Speaker 3: You say, I hope you know it's in Jesus name.
- 43:53Speaker 3: They say, yes.
- 43:55Speaker 1: They don't come in as businessmen. They come in as
- 43:57Speaker 1: wise men. They know that if all I have is
- 44:02Speaker 1: the ability to buy and sell, I will still fail.
- 44:06Speaker 1: And you see somebody who is a non-believer. In Jesus
- 44:08Speaker 1: name he shouts amen. I don't believe in that Jesus
- 44:11Speaker 1: but at least I believe in his servant. And they
- 44:15Speaker 1: get up and mysterious things begin to happen in their lives.
- 44:21Speaker 3: You see.
- 44:24Speaker 1: The prayer platform or what Reverend Sam is doing with
- 44:28Speaker 1: the transforming church. Or what every servant of God hear
- 44:32Speaker 1: in their various expressions. You would be lying to just
- 44:36Speaker 1: think it was all by the physical keys there alone.
- 44:40Speaker 3: It's not true. That is a prophetic advantage.
- 44:44Speaker 1: And somebody, God has insisted that in this conference, you
- 44:50Speaker 1: will not go back the way you came.
- 44:53Speaker 3: Is this a good place for us to pray? Will
- 44:55Speaker 3: you pray? Shout it, say, Father. Father. Come on, pray.
- 44:59Speaker 3: This is a prayer in church.
- 45:00Speaker 1: Say, Father, in the name of Jesus, that prophetic advantage
- 45:07Speaker 1: that propels me to the next level, let it rest
- 45:10Speaker 1: upon my life. Someone go ahead and pray. Pray seriously
- 45:14Speaker 1: and pray with power. Pray for your business. Pray for
- 45:18Speaker 1: your ministry. My God, the power of God.
- 45:27Speaker 3: Is in this place.
- 45:28Speaker 1: The prophetic advantage. The prophetic advantage. In addition to my ability.
- 45:58Speaker 1: In addition to diligence. I am rooted in the word.
- 46:03Speaker 1: Rooted in prayer. Rooted in diligence. In addition to an
- 46:08Speaker 1: altered perception for good. Let your hand rest upon me.
- 46:17Speaker 1: Let your hand rest upon me. Pray for him.
- 46:23Speaker 3: One minute.
- 46:30Speaker 6: Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. 1 Chronicles chapter 4, please.
- 46:33Speaker 6: 9 to 10. Honestly, I sense such a strong anointing
- 46:45Speaker 6: in this place.
- 46:46Speaker 1: If you believe the prophetic word that is coming upon
- 46:49Speaker 1: you tonight, you will marvel and wonder at what your
- 46:52Speaker 1: life becomes. 1 Chronicles chapter 4, 9 and 10. Now,
- 46:58Speaker 1: Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. And his mother
- 47:05Speaker 1: called him Jabez.
- 47:06Speaker 3: Why?
- 47:07Speaker 1: Because I bore him in pain.
- 47:10Speaker 3: Next verse.
- 47:12Speaker 1: And Jabez called on to the God of Israel saying,
- 47:15Speaker 1: everybody listen.
- 47:17Speaker 3: Oh that thou wouldest bless me. And do what? Enlarge
- 47:22Speaker 3: my territory.
- 47:23Speaker 1: The third expression is our next prayer point.
- 47:26Speaker 3: And that your hand will be upon me.
- 47:31Speaker 1: Do you know what happened to a man when the
- 47:33Speaker 1: hand of the Lord came upon him?
- 47:35Speaker 3: He ran. He didn't walk.
- 47:37Speaker 2: He ran.
- 47:38Speaker 1: And he overtook the chariots of Ahab. Even down to Israel.
- 47:43Speaker 1: Say father. One more time shout it.
- 47:46Speaker 3: Say father.
- 47:47Speaker 1: Tonight and forever. May your hand rest upon me. Rest
- 47:53Speaker 1: upon my ministry. Rest upon my business. Someone open your
- 47:58Speaker 1: mouth and begin to pray. Let your hand rest upon me.
- 48:07Speaker 1: In a way beyond confusion.
- 48:38Speaker 1: Be the advantage. In addition to my skill. In
- 48:44Speaker 1: addition to my intellect.
- 48:46Speaker 3: In addition.
- 48:48Speaker 1: To all the provision. That are available.
- 48:52Speaker 3: To succeed.
- 48:56Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
- 48:59Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
- 49:03Speaker 3: Please look at me. Marando Scalibare. Shovra Heskabele. Kuriatar. I
- 49:09Speaker 3: want you to listen. Please listen.
- 49:20Speaker 1: Reverend Sam when God made man God made man complete
- 49:29Speaker 1: the way God responded to a complete man was the
- 49:34Speaker 1: same way God responded to dry bones all of them
- 49:38Speaker 1: needed speakings on them You would think because Adam was
- 49:42Speaker 1: already complete, there would be no need to prophesy on him.
- 49:46Speaker 1: The same way God spoke to a whole being, Adam,
- 49:52Speaker 1: was the same way prophecy was made upon dry bones.
- 49:55Speaker 1: Whether you are complete, having everything in place or having nothing,
- 50:00Speaker 1: you will never outgrow the power of prophecy. What was
- 50:10Speaker 1: wrong with Adam? A man who came directly, the creativity
- 50:16Speaker 1: of God himself, the artistry of God displayed at his finest.
- 50:22Speaker 1: Would you need to add anything to such a man?
- 50:25Speaker 1: His mind, brain, body, biology, everything.
- 50:29Speaker 3: Was in place.
- 50:30Speaker 1: And yet God said, this man is not complete. Every
- 50:34Speaker 1: factor in place. The business is well built. All the factors, advertising, branding, marketing, creativity,
- 50:44Speaker 1: relational principles. But it will lie like Adam. Something is
- 50:49Speaker 1: still missing. And then when he sees dry bones, he
- 50:55Speaker 1: still says in the economy of heaven, it is still
- 50:57Speaker 1: the same thing.
- 51:02Speaker 3: How....
- 51:04Speaker 1: Do you have to prophesy fruitfulness for something that is
- 51:08Speaker 1: already systemic to be fruitful? The brain is already there.
- 51:12Speaker 1: The hands are already there. Let me tell you the truth.
- 51:16Speaker 1: I believe in excellence. But excellence will never replace nor
- 51:22Speaker 1: negate the power of prophecy. There are many of you
- 51:26Speaker 1: who are surprised why things are not working. The truth
- 51:29Speaker 1: is that everything to make it.
- 51:31Speaker 3: Work is there. You are diligent. You have read the books.
- 51:34Speaker 3: But there is a factor.
- 51:37Speaker 1: And this is what by the spirit of God, I
- 51:39Speaker 1: want to truly speak over someone. I stand with all
- 51:44Speaker 1: humility and I tell you this. I am a beneficiary
- 51:47Speaker 1: of the power of prophecy. When the hand of God
- 51:50Speaker 1: comes upon your life, it becomes unmistakable.
- 51:54Speaker 3: Unmistakable. Help that woman. Unmistakable.
- 52:03Speaker 1: The Lord granted his servant to put this meeting, even
- 52:08Speaker 1: though it cuts across.
- 52:10Speaker 3: An array of fields and professions. Let me speak to you,
- 52:14Speaker 3: my dear business people. Do not allow intellect.
- 52:20Speaker 1: Make you downplay the value of spiritual things. Proverbs chapter
- 52:26Speaker 1: 3 from verse 5 to 7 says, Trust in the
- 52:29Speaker 1: Lord with all your heart and to lean not unto
- 52:33Speaker 1: your own understanding. Then it says, In all your ways
- 52:38Speaker 1: acknowledge him and he shall direct your path. Verse 7 says,
- 52:41Speaker 1: Be not wise in your own eyes. That is the
- 52:44Speaker 1: cancer that kills intelligent people. Wise in their own eyes.
- 52:48Speaker 1: You can build a boat. You can build the ark.
- 52:53Speaker 1: But only God brings the animals. The formula to attract
- 52:57Speaker 1: animals from the bush on their own has not been
- 52:59Speaker 1: given to any man. There are certain things in your
- 53:03Speaker 1: success factor, your success.
- 53:05Speaker 3: Equation that only resides with God.
- 53:08Speaker 1: You cannot receive it outside of him.
- 53:11Speaker 3: It is his presence. Are you ready to receive? Years
- 53:25Speaker 3: ago when I read.
- 53:26Speaker 1: Deuteronomy chapter 28 from verse 1 and 2. That it
- 53:31Speaker 1: shall come to pass if thou shalt diligently. Please help
- 53:34Speaker 1: two people for me now that shout under the anointing.
- 53:37Speaker 1: I just saw fire just coming on two people. That
- 53:41Speaker 1: fire and the Lord is telling me that that person,
- 53:44Speaker 1: you have a prophetic ministry.
- 53:47Speaker 3: It's a prophetic ministry. A prophetic ministry. And it says
- 53:58Speaker 3: it shall come to pass if thou shalt.
- 54:00Speaker 1: Diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God
- 54:04Speaker 1: to observe and to do.
- 54:06Speaker 3: All that I command you this day. Please listen.
- 54:08Speaker 1: It says that the Lord shall exalt you. Reverend Sam,
- 54:12Speaker 1: when I saw that word, I was in one room.
- 54:14Speaker 3: I believed it.
- 54:16Speaker 1: Exalt you above all nations of the earth. The color
- 54:20Speaker 1: of your skin notwithstanding. Listen, it is unto you according
- 54:24Speaker 1: to what you choose to believe. You listen to nonsense,
- 54:27Speaker 1: you will become what you are hearing.
- 54:29Speaker 3: Did you hear what I said?
- 54:30Speaker 1: It is your responsibility to culture your perceptions for the
- 54:34Speaker 1: sake of where God is taking you. The Bible says
- 54:38Speaker 1: in Genesis 12 verse 3.
- 54:41Speaker 3: In thee shall all nations be blessed. I am a blessing.
- 54:45Speaker 1: This is what you must believe it.
- 54:46Speaker 3: I am a blessing.
- 54:47Speaker 1: I am a blessing.
- 54:49Speaker 3: Yes, that you shall lay up gold as dust. I
- 54:57Speaker 3: believe it all.
- 54:59Speaker 1: You will never, listen, I wish I had time, would
- 55:02Speaker 1: have spoken about finances a bit. Reject poverty. Hear what
- 55:08Speaker 1: I'm telling you now. Reject poverty as a personal mission.
- 55:13Speaker 3: Reject it.
- 55:15Speaker 1: This is not the issue of Canada. Reject it. You
- 55:17Speaker 1: will never be able to do much for the kingdom
- 55:20Speaker 1: if you are incapacitated. By the privilege of God's grace,
- 55:25Speaker 1: we have conferences happening across the continents. And I cannot
- 55:28Speaker 1: tell you the monies that are needed in millions of
- 55:32Speaker 1: dollars to run these things.
- 55:35Speaker 3: Except you are a thief. And even if you are that,
- 55:37Speaker 3: you will still suffer.
- 55:42Speaker 1: What is on your head is what controls what is.
- 55:45Speaker 3: Around your life. And I'm releasing my faith with Reverend Sam.
- 55:51Speaker 1: I know we still have tomorrow. But I want to
- 55:53Speaker 1: speak from the depth of my heart.
- 55:55Speaker 3: This is why I came here tonight. Hallelujah. This is
- 56:00Speaker 3: why I came tonight.
- 56:02Speaker 1: It is from what we have received that we give.
- 56:05Speaker 1: We don't know everything. At least for myself, I don't
- 56:08Speaker 1: know everything. I don't have everything.
- 56:10Speaker 3: But there are things we have. Believe me. Believe me.
- 56:15Speaker 1: When God has given you something, you have it. It's
- 56:18Speaker 1: as simple and honest and sincere as that. Father, in
- 56:22Speaker 1: the name of Jesus, over someone's life and over someone's destiny,
- 56:27Speaker 1: I speak to you standing upon the grace. of god's
- 56:30Speaker 1: servants here in addition to the many vessels that have
- 56:33Speaker 1: been here in the name that is above all names
- 56:37Speaker 1: first let me start it this way every force that
- 56:40Speaker 1: has sat on your destiny and your glory and will
- 56:43Speaker 1: not allow you blossom we dislodge those forces now we
- 56:48Speaker 1: dislodge those forces now We dislodge those forces now. The
- 56:59Speaker 1: Bible says by you I can run through a troop.
- 57:03Speaker 3: By my God I can leap over a wall.
- 57:06Speaker 1: I place grace upon your life. Run like Elijah. Run
- 57:10Speaker 1: like Elijah. I prophesy over your destiny. Run like Elijah.
- 57:15Speaker 1: Overtake the chariots of Ahab. In the name of Jesus.
- 57:26Speaker 1: Run like Elijah. Ten years in one year. One year
- 57:31Speaker 1: in one month. I prophesy to you. Ten years in
- 57:34Speaker 1: one year. I shift you by prophecy. Entire new season.
- 57:39Speaker 1: Entire new season. Entire new season. Entire new season. Entire
- 57:45Speaker 1: new season.
- 57:52Speaker 6: Listen.
- 57:54Speaker 3: Please hear me.
- 57:56Speaker 1: You are as relevant as the people who attest to
- 58:01Speaker 1: the presence of your value. You are as relevant as
- 58:06Speaker 1: the people who attest to the presence of your value.
- 58:10Speaker 1: The reason why we honor global brands today is because
- 58:14Speaker 1: there are enough men who have attested to the fact
- 58:17Speaker 1: that those brands are valuable enough. You are as valuable
- 58:21Speaker 1: as the presence of the people who.
- 58:24Speaker 3: Attest to your value.
- 58:25Speaker 1: They cannot reward you if they do not know you
- 58:28Speaker 1: are there. Publicity is first a spiritual matter.
- 58:35Speaker 3: There are eights.
- 58:36Speaker 1: Social media and the rest. But there is a hear
- 58:39Speaker 1: ye him anointing. And if that grace is not on you.
- 58:42Speaker 1: You can do all you can. And nobody will hear you.
- 58:45Speaker 1: Is someone ready to carry that grace? The grace that
- 58:48Speaker 1: God has placed on his servant. Placed on the men
- 58:51Speaker 1: and the women of God here. That will cause the nations.
- 58:54Speaker 1: Even the ends of the earth to hear you. For
- 58:56Speaker 1: as many who will shout amen. And believe this.
- 59:00Speaker 3: Carry that grace now. For your products. Carry that grace now.
- 59:07Speaker 1: For your vision.
- 59:08Speaker 3: Carry that grace.
- 59:10Speaker 1: Now for your ministry carry that grace now Son of man,
- 59:18Speaker 1: what seest thou? I see four horns. These are the
- 59:22Speaker 1: horns that have lifted up themselves against Jerusalem, against Judea, against,
- 59:28Speaker 1: in the name.
- 59:28Speaker 3: Of Jesus, every horn that has risen.
- 59:32Speaker 1: To shut your voice, to shut your relevance so that
- 59:35Speaker 1: you will not be heard. We bury those voices now.
- 59:39Speaker 1: We bury those horns now. I say it again, the
- 59:42Speaker 1: transforming church, we bury those voices now.
- 59:51Speaker 2: You are my glory, the lifter up of my head.
- 59:56Speaker 3: You are my glory, the lifter up of my head.
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: I'm wrapping up. Something is resting on your life.
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: Alleluia.
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: I'm letting my spirit to speak over two areas and
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: then we're done. Can I pray for your finances? Ladies
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: and gentlemen, please listen to me. This finance thing, this
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: finance thing. If God does not help you, you will
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: sit down one day and cry like a baby.
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: No matter how old you are. Did you hear what
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: I said?
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: You will not cry because you don't have food to eat.
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: You will cry because you are watching prophecy limited by
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: lack of resources. There are many books today that would
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: have blessed the nation staring revivals. Money stopped that move.
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: There are many apostolic and prophetic voices, evangelical pastoral voices
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: that should be heralding his message to the nations. But
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: they are incapacitated by resources. You want to see attack?
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: Let the graceful wealth start coming close to you. You
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: will see more attack in your life. Satan prefers a
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: healthy church to a prosperous church.
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: Please hear me.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: I'm saying this because for someone, if you don't get
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: angry with lack, you may sit down and have visions
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: all you can. And yet you will go and meet
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: the Lord. You will not do one tenth of what
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: he has told you to do. I'm wrapping up, Reverend Sam.
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: When God called me, I listened to late Pat Robinson,
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: 700 Club. And he prayed a prayer as a young man.
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: He said when God called him, naive not knowing many things,
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: he said, Lord, give me three things. Number one, give
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: me wisdom. Number two, give me favor. Number three, give
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: me the anointing of the Holy Spirit. I took out
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: time to pray that prayer and to study them. Then
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: when I came to the subject of favor, I saw
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: that naturally speaking, I did not have any advantage that
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: I could lean on.
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: And I listened to Dr. Mike Mudok, may God bless him.
- 1:02:57Speaker 3: Bless him.
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: Thankfully, we still have him alive. This man spoke about favor.
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: And I began to learn certain things. I took one
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: month to pray.
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: And I said, God, don't send me with a message alone.
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: I said, Lord, you have to help me and show me.
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: Show me your help. Even in this area. You have
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: given me an apostolic call. It is an expensive call.
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: Financially expensive, not just attached from the spirit.
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: Even if nobody attacks you, you'll still not move forward
- 1:03:30Speaker 3: if you don't have resources.
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: Did you hear what I said? Thankfully, I was so
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: honored to have Reverend Sam with us at Manchester last year.
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: It was a surprise, just like Pastor Jerry was saying.
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: I mean, he's not just done that to Pastor Jerry.
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: I think he's done that to almost everyone within his circle.
- 1:03:50Speaker 3: That sacrifice. He was over at Manchester.
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: And the Lord gives us an instruction to put something
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: at the largest indoor arena. And he said, not collect offering.
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with free. And then to pay, I
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: mean to feed.
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: All the workers.
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: Over 2,000, 2,500 people to feed them. And he said,
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: don't collect offering, don't make one mention. I said, God,
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: but giving is one of the ways people rise. He said, no,
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: there is a narrative about church within the European space
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: that I want to use this.
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: Conference to correct.
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: Obedience is hard when you are poor. You believe whatever
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: you want to believe. I will tell you this as
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: sincere and as modest as I can be. I'm saying
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: that because your story is about to change. Let me
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: tell you this. There are many visions today. By God's
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: prophetic hand upon your life, you are supposed to have
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: gone far. There are younger ministers, younger apostolic and prophetic
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: voices that are rising, but you are incapacitated.
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: The problem is not lack of grace. You have the content.
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: You are disciplined.
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: You have character. People of consecration, but you are bagged
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: in one place.
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: Right now, the unbelieving community have bought O2 Arena.
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: In UK. They bought Excel and.
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: They banned Christian activities there completely. While that is happening,
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: we are here praying in tongues and that is good.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: But very soon, they will buy up everything and push
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: us out. You see, let me tell you the truth.
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: You must adopt... You see, Jesus the model.
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: Had a treasurer and he did not shy away from
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: the issue of finances. There were times when they came
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: to embarrass him. And they said you claim to be
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: a preacher of righteousness but you are wanting in the
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: area of finances.
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: He didn't argue. He got the money.
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: And showed us from that example how to enjoy peace
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: in life. To give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar.
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: There are things that belong to Caesar. The moment you
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: are serving God, Caesar will come to embarrass you. Embarrass
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: your integrity. And say you are preaching, you are calling,
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: you've not paid your tax. You know, preparing for a
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: conference in UK and Canada. Reverend Sam, you know this
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: better than all of us. I mean, you cannot imagine
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: the things you.
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: Have to pay for. Insurance, seats, car park.
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: Once you are gathering a crowd in excess of 10,000 people,
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: they are all there. By the time they are done
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: with you, you go back for a retreat and ask
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: whether God really sent you. I mean what I'm saying.
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: We exhausted the doors that were open for Canada. And
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: we had to now get another 5,000 overflow.
- 1:06:55Speaker 3: And once we did, they had.
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: To renegotiate the contract as if the first one was
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: null and void. But in Nigeria, they can say, okay,
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: since you have done this, love Nigeria is not that bad.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: We are still kind. The kind of help that is
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: needed for you to go forward. I'm speaking to a businessman.
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: I'm speaking to someone in ministry. The kind of help
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: that only God can bring to men. Honestly I prophesy
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: to you here on this altar. Beginning from now and
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: the next 90 days. If you have the faith to believe.
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: Write it down and believe. Begin to enjoy tremendous supplies.
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: Tremendous supplies. I prophesy to you tremendous supplies. I place
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: prophetic words upon your head. Let helpers arise. Let financiers arise.
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: Let favor conduits arise. In the name of Jesus Christ.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: I forbid you from begging and borrowing. Finances will not
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: limit your becoming. Finances will not limit your rising. Finances
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: will not limit your thriving. You will lay up gold
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: as dust. In the name of Jesus Christ. death like
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: owing there are some of you who are neck deep
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: in troubles there are preachers you are behind and if
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: god does not help you you will plunge into depression
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: every time people got into debt it was not business
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: that brought them out it was prophecy whether it's lack
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: of food in samaria or the axe head that fell
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: at last mastite was borrowed it was prophecy that brought
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: them out I want to speak to someone. Whether it
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: is personal, death. I've been in death before. I know
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: the inconvenience that. There are people who are not sick.
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: But the trouble on their head. Is better to even
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: be sick.
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: Can I pray that for you? Because you need to
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: come out of it. The embarrassment, the shame and the reproach.
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: I tell you being in debt will strip you of
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: your dignity. People who have no audacity to talk to
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: you will tear you down. Because you are in debt.
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: I pray for you. In the name that is above
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: all names. Standing on the graces that are here represented.
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: I decree and declare. Within the next 90 days. By
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: the wisdom of God. By the mercy of God. By
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: the gift of man. By the ministry of help us.
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: By all godly means. Come out of debt in the
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: name of Jesus. Come out of begging and borrowing in
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: the name of Jesus. You will owe no man nothing
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: but love. at least at a personal level, in the
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: name of Jesus Christ.
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: I sense in my heart that for someone else, one
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: of the reasons why you have gotten into debt is
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: because of greed. Please forgive me and don't feel insulted.
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: We're wrapping up. But it's something the Lord is putting
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: in my heart. Because there is seed that scattereth and
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: yet increaseth. There is seed that withholdeth more than is meet.
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: Your seed has never been part of prophecy. Never been
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: part of advancing anything kingdom. Sometimes I feel embarrassed doing this.
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: But you see, let me tell you the truth. There
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: is nobody who prospers in the kingdom.
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: If you are not a giver.
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: The attacks on an unbeliever is not the same attack
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: on you. The unbeliever can thrive with certain principles because
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: they are largely serving Babylon. You are vowed to serve
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: the kingdom.
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: This man you see is not just a receiver. By
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: the mercy of God, and I apologize if it sounds arrogant.
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: Maybe the only thing I've not given is to remove
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: my heart and remove the life I gave.
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: Don't just covet people's testimonies.
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: This is why sometimes as inconveniencing as it is, it's
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: good for pastors to tell people certain testimonies.
- 1:11:22Speaker 3: So they don't just pretend and assume.
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: Sometimes it's inconveniencing because people mistaking them for pride. I
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: have given seeds to the millions of dollars. Let me
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: tell you, I'm saying it to your face. Don't think,
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I almost feel like I just sinned against
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: God now.
- 1:11:39Speaker 3: But it's important to tell you. Don't just think.
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: That, no, no. A gentleman came like about a month
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: ago who had been so blessed, prayed for him in Ghana.
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: God expanded him, he's become a millionaire. He traveled from
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: Ghana and came with, was it $ 10, 000 or $ 150 to
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: come and give me. And when he came, I blessed
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: him and the Lord said, uh-uh, this is not for you.
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: Let him take it back to Koinonia account in the U.S.
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: and deposit it there. You think I don't know what
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: to do with $ 150, 000? Even if I don't know, I'm
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: surrounded by too many wise people to help me know
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: what to do with it. Your heart for God, oh,
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: I don't want to deceive. Let's not just shout amen
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: and wrap up and go away. If your heart is
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: still closed, I tell you your financial gate will be
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: closed eternally. I'm saying this to you so that you
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: know that behind certain extraordinary results, there are things.
- 1:12:42Speaker 3: That men do.
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: Whatever you cannot part with deserves to rule over you.
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: One of the ways that God conquers materialism and carnality
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: is to give you prophetic instructions to give.
- 1:12:57Speaker 3: I always ask why God insists that people will give.
- 1:13:00Speaker 3: I'm not asking you to give, not necessarily.
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: But I'm just telling you that one of the ways
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: God prunes the dominion of material things over you is
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: that occasionally in your life he will give you instructions
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: that you almost want to cast that voice away.
- 1:13:16Speaker 3: He does it not because of the money. At all!
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: He does it because he wants what has taken his.
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: Place in your heart to die. Let me pray my
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: last prayer now. Pastor Jerry shared it very powerfully. We
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: adjust to systems and structures, but we never bend. Some
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: of you have bent too far. You would rather leave
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: God than to be poor. Now you've gone too far.
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: That one is dangerous.
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: You would rather push Jesus out of the sin to
- 1:13:47Speaker 3: get fame. That one is dangerous. Are we together?
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: The moment anything fights the place and the position of
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: God in your life, you are already at a danger zone.
- 1:13:57Speaker 3: I can tell you that.
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: I'm praying for someone here who you have lost your
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: love for Jesus. I know this is advanced conference, but
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: please allow me to wrap up with this prayer.
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: You have lost touch with spiritual things.
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: Maybe because you really want to make money, you want fame,
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: you want all of these things.
- 1:14:15Speaker 3: I can tell you the truth.
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: When you take Jesus out of the equation of your life,
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: your life remains barren and empty. And most people just
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: say yes mechanically, but their lives show that Jesus is far,
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: somewhere in their space outside.
- 1:14:30Speaker 3: God is calling us deeper.
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: The strength of the believer is the position you have
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: placed God in.
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: Not just that he's in your heart.
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: Where in your heart is he? You can be in
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: my house and I can leave you somewhere outside. You
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: are in my house, but you are still outside. You
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: can be in my house and I drop you somewhere
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: at the visitor's lounge. You are in my house, but
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: there are inner chambers in every house. And people you treasure,
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: you take them there. There are many of you, Jesus
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: is around your life, not in your heart.
- 1:14:58Speaker 3: He's not outside, but he's around.
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: Somewhere joining the queue after money and fame before him.
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: God is calling you now that in all your pursuits,
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: you need to redirect your passions Can I speak a
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: word of restoration for someone? You've lost your fire. You've
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: lost your spiritual texture. You've lost your zeal for spiritual things.
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: And God sent you to advance conference tonight. I agree
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: with Reverend Sam on your behalf.
- 1:15:24Speaker 3: In the name that is above all names, I.
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: Decree the grace that draws men to a depth of
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: intimacy with God beyond money, beyond material things, beyond ministry,
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: beyond fame. May that grace rest upon you. May that
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: grace rest upon you. May that grace rest upon you.
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: Everyone wave your hands and I want you to begin
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: to pray. Lord I desire you like never before. Beyond
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: money let me find you. Beyond fame let me find you.
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: Beyond progress let me find you. Wherever I've lost you
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: at any point in my life. I obtain grace. Let
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: me find the true north of my destiny. Let me
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: find you again. The Lord is nigh them that call
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: upon him.
