Speaker 1: Let's lift our hands and bless the Lord. We bless
0:11
him because he's faithful. We bless him because he's holy.

We're people of faith. This is an atmosphere of his presence,
0:22
and we bless him.

2:02
Speaker 1: Read Bye, Father, visit us tonight in this atmosphere.
2:13
Speaker 3: Bless our hearts, reward our faith in you. Lord.
2:20
Speaker 1: I pray that everyone who has come tonight will go
2:24
back with your testimony. We believe in you, and we
2:29
pray that once again you will show yourself mighty in
2:33
our mite. In Jesus' name, I pray, and then God
2:38
bless you. While still standing. Please, let's honor again Aposto,
2:43
good heart and this dear wife past the being born.
2:45
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. It's an honor. May God bless you.
2:49
May God bless you in the name of.
2:51
Speaker 1: Jesus, Please be seated. I'll teach for a few minutes,
3:00
and then oh, just pray and allow the Lord to
3:05
step in and bless us as he always will, just
3:14
like the Woman of God announced. For those of us
3:17
who are not able to make the morning session, may
3:20
I please request that you do well to listen to
3:23
the session.
3:25
Speaker 3: It was.
3:27
Speaker 1: I taught on experiencing personal revival, and I did say,
3:31
I think yesterday and even this morning, how that territorial
3:35
revival first starts with personal revival. You will never truly
3:40
be able to plant revival across a territory, accept and
3:47
unless you are revived yourself. And we for the time
3:51
that we had we shared two keys that were responsible
3:56
for personal revival. Number one the power of broken and
4:01
number two the power of prayer.
4:06
Speaker 3: We did learn in the morning.
4:07
Speaker 1: That brokenness starts with an awareness, a consciousness that man,
4:15
an assisted by the help, the messy and the grace
4:19
of God, is inadequate, and that there is nothing in
4:23
yourself and by yourself that.
4:25
Speaker 3: Can close that gap.
4:27
Speaker 1: So brokenness is an awareness that translates to an acknowledgment
4:33
of your limitation, your inadequacy outside of the help and
4:39
the messy of God. It's a state of realization. Then
4:43
we did talk on the power of prayer. We were
4:48
able to capture four dimensions that prayer covers in our lives.
4:53
Speaker 3: Number one transformation. Number two as a medium and a
4:58
means for.
4:58
Speaker 1: Receiving promises and for making requests. Number three spiritual legislation
5:07
that prayer allows and affords us the opportunity to make
5:11
decrease and to create possibilities.
5:15
Speaker 3: And the last, warfare.
5:16
Speaker 1: And intercession that prayer gives us an opportunity to stand
5:21
in partnership.
5:22
Speaker 3: With the spirit of God to ward.
5:24
Speaker 1: Off the arsenals of darkness that attempt to fight and
5:31
attempt to thwart the purposes of God. Tonight, very briefly,
5:36
it will be a charge. I may not have the
5:39
time to discuss the points in detail, but I'm teaching
5:45
on igniting and preserving territorial revivals.
5:50
Speaker 3: Now we have dealt with.
5:52
Speaker 1: The subject of restoration they one or my session Session one,
5:57
He restores my soul. Then personal revival, and let's look
6:03
at ignite and preserving territorial revivals. We're learning by the
6:09
spirit the keys that will help us to be able
6:15
to preserve territorial revival. Second Chronicles, Chapter fifteen an US
6:21
three Second Chronicles, Chapter fifteen, ANVEUS three.
6:29
Speaker 3: Let me start tonight by the Bible says, now, for
6:33
a long season.
6:36
Speaker 1: Israel had been without the True God, without a teaching priest,
6:44
and without law. Three things that if absent, it means
6:49
that territory is already destroyed. Number one, the awareness and
6:53
the consciousness.
6:55
Speaker 3: Of the True God. Number two the.
6:57
Speaker 1: Presence of teaching priests, and number three laws that help
7:03
to govern that territory. He said, for a long season
7:06
Israel did not have any of the three the consciousness
7:10
of the One True God, the presence of teaching priests,
7:15
and laws. I wrote here that kingdom advance is territorial.
7:21
Speaker 3: We have to.
7:22
Speaker 1: Understand that when it has to do with kingdom advance,
7:26
it is territorial. God so designed that frontiering the Kingdom
7:31
from the ex standpoint is territorial. That means God moves
7:36
part territory. He's not doing the same thing everywhere. At
7:39
the same time, when He gave the instruction for world
7:45
evangelization in Acts chapter one and verse eighty, said it
7:48
would start from Jerusalem to Judea to Samaria.
7:53
Speaker 3: Then the autumnist part of the Earth allelujah. And the
8:00
Bible names believers.
8:04
Speaker 1: Now they are theologically, believers are classified.
8:09
Speaker 3: In two dimensions.
8:11
Speaker 1: Number one, our classification based on our identification. That means
8:18
the Bible classifies believers based on our identification with Christ.
8:23
Speaker 3: So we have names like joint heirs. We have names
8:29
like the branches and the vine.
8:32
Speaker 1: All of those names that attempts to show our oneness.
8:35
It attempts to help us understand our identification. And then
8:40
believers are also classified according to function and assignment. Now
8:45
he uses expressions like kings, priests, ambassadors, light and salt.
8:53
This is one of such times when Jesus was calling
8:56
us light and salt. Matthew chapter five. We begin our
8:59
reading from verse thirteen. Now Jesus is teaching them the
9:03
territorial dimension of kingdom.
9:05
Speaker 3: Advance.
9:07
Speaker 1: Ye are the salt of the earth, he says. But
9:10
if the salt have lost is several, wherewith shall it
9:13
be salted? It is henceforth good for nothing but to
9:17
be cast out and to be trodden on the foot
9:20
of men. We're reading to sixteen fourteen says ye are
9:24
the light of the world, a city.
9:29
Speaker 3: That is set on a heel that cannot be hid.
9:33
Speaker 1: And then verse fifteen says, neither do men light a
9:37
candle take notes now and put it under a bushel,
9:41
but on a candlestick, And it giveth light, not to you,
9:45
to all that I ill the house. The effect of
9:50
that light is felt within that space. Then it says,
9:55
let your light so shine before men, that they may
9:58
see your good walks and glorify your Father, which is
10:03
in heaven. Philippians chapter two from verse thirteen, or read
10:08
down to sixteen Philippians Chapter two from verse thirteen. For
10:18
it is God which work at in you, both to
10:20
will and to do of his good pleasure. Fourteen it says,
10:25
do all things without murmuring or disputing. My verse of
10:29
emphasis is now fifteen and sixteen. It says that ye
10:33
may be blameless and harmless sons of God without rebuke
10:38
in the midst of a.
10:39
Speaker 3: Crooked and perverse Where is.
10:42
Speaker 1: The proof of the superiority of this kingdom?
10:46
Speaker 3: I sincerely believe in the power of God. I do
10:50
I do. This is more than falling dow woe.
10:53
Speaker 1: Listen, while not talking of falling down and standing on
10:56
the power to chase systems, to shift the climate of
11:00
the systems.
11:02
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. An open display of the power of God.
11:10
Speaker 1: That when people like trouble, they begin to rejoice when
11:13
they see a short signboard because they know that they
11:16
have finally found refuge. From the rising of the sun
11:24
to the sety the same.
11:29
Speaker 3: Your name is to.
11:31
Speaker 4: Be hallow, from the rising of the sun to the same,
11:44
the same, You're nammy.
11:57
Speaker 1: If we are to be honest with ourselves, every family
12:01
represented in Africa represented here, there must be somewhere in
12:05
your family, nuclear or extended where Satan is trying to
12:09
take advantage of the absence of the power of God.
12:13
This is an assignment upon you to go back and say, hey, hey,
12:17
we are not revisiting those altars again. Can I tell
12:25
you when people become desperate to see results and we
12:36
keep giving them explanations, a time will come they will
12:41
put us in a category and know that they cannot
12:45
have results and get up and go to all kinds
12:49
of demonic things, and Satan is more than ready to
12:52
welcome them. This is a charge to This is not
12:56
just two ministers of the Gospel.
12:58
Speaker 3: Every believer, you.
13:00
Speaker 1: Must pray and say, Lord, let something from heaven come
13:03
upon me.
13:04
Speaker 3: Genuinely.
13:09
Speaker 1: It is almost a shameful thing to actually believe that
13:13
miracles can be staged managed.
13:15
Speaker 3: Why faith, what can be real and open display? It
13:27
is my prayer that for everyone who has.
13:29
Speaker 1: Coming that between now and match, may God do something
13:33
that you will know it is a signature He's signed
13:36
upon your life, that it will be impossible for anyone
13:40
to hear and just sweep it under the carpet and
13:43
casualize that miracle. May it happen for you in the
13:46
name of Jesus, please say down and open display of
13:54
the power of God. Are you ready for number four?
13:58
I'm just touching.
13:59
Speaker 3: Them Number one? Prayer?
14:05
Speaker 1: Number two regular convergence of believers for the purpose of
14:10
training maturity.
14:12
Speaker 3: Number three.
14:15
Speaker 1: An open display of the power of God, supernatural manifestations
14:20
of His power over the lives of God's people.
14:22
Speaker 3: Are you ready for number four?
14:24
Speaker 1: How do we ignite and how do we preserve territorial revivers?
14:29
The intentional mentorship of younger believers and ministers to ensure continuity.
14:38
The intentional mentorship of younger believers and ministers to ensure continuity.
14:47
The intentional mentorship of younger believers and ministers to ensure continuity.
14:57
Speaker 3: Second timost Ea, Chapter two and verse two.
15:00
Speaker 1: The intentional mentorship of younger believers and ministers to enshore continuity.
15:08
Se continuenty two and verse two. This is the fourth
15:12
key that is responsible for igniting and preserving revivals. And
15:17
the things that thou hast heard of me among many
15:21
witnesses is said the same commit thou.
15:25
Speaker 3: To faithful men who shall be able to teach others. Also,
15:31
can I tell.
15:31
Speaker 1: You the moment there is a generation that does not
15:35
receive that button. The devil has the generation. It does
15:38
not matter who did well before that time. Intentional mentorship
15:46
of younger believers and ministers to enshore continuinity. No man
15:51
should leave the earth without reproducing at least twice of you.
16:01
You know, there have been territories where you will have
16:04
seasons of seasoned veterans of the gospel, men and women
16:10
of God who are with power. But sometimes they make mistakes.
16:14
And we see this even with the God's generals, respectfully speaking,
16:18
that many of them were focused at giving and pouring
16:22
and maximizing their destinies, and they forgot that one day
16:26
they will not be there, or one day they will
16:28
not have that strength. And the devil knowing that they
16:34
had already neglected the generation's coming. He now allowed them,
16:38
knowing that time will naturally feed them away. And then
16:42
the people who should now carry the buttons sat and
16:45
went and grew with them patiently, so that by the
16:49
time you turn back now you can see someone respectfully
16:53
speaking whose father was a foremost evangelists, and you are wondering,
16:57
where is the mantle in that house?
17:03
Speaker 3: Because they made a mistake.
17:05
Speaker 1: Can I tell you, if you are doing anything great,
17:08
don't just focus on the moment. You must focus on posterity.
17:16
Speaker 3: This is a mistake.
17:17
Speaker 1: And this does not just This is beyond just ministry,
17:20
like fivefold ministry even in business. Is why in Africa
17:24
we almost do not have third and four generation anything.
17:28
People start things and it dies with them. In your lifetime,
17:32
you travel to the West and you can see you
17:35
can see businesses that are two hundred years old, three
17:38
hundred years old, because.
17:40
Speaker 3: They understand the principle of continuity.
17:44
Speaker 1: My daily revern man told doctor Miles Mundo one of
17:47
the last books he wrote in his lifetime before he died,
17:50
was passing it on the.
17:52
Speaker 3: Principle of legacy.
17:56
Speaker 1: You see, life operates like a clock hand on the clock,
18:01
and when you are captured in the moment of your relevance.
18:04
You can forget that one day, prepared or not, there
18:07
will be need for continuity. Jesus as Mighty, as he
18:13
was doing miracles and the rest, knew that you would
18:16
not be there physically forever.
18:17
Speaker 3: And while he was doing that, he was also.
18:20
Speaker 1: Raising and building the disciples who would later be apostles.
18:24
Forget those who betrayed him. Everybody will not betray you.
18:27
There will always be someone faithful. If you can find Peter,
18:33
James and John who are faithful, you are good enough
18:38
the intentional mentorship of younger believers. This is why we
18:46
see that the church today is plagued with all kinds
18:50
of things, especially from younger ministers, because there is no
18:53
intentional you see, let me tell you, if you are
18:57
not there to help someone rise, you can't come and
18:59
meet them when they're raising and claim and want them to.
19:02
They will only answer to who was there when they
19:05
were rising.
19:07
Speaker 3: Are we together? Now?
19:08
Speaker 1: You can come and expect that people who have suffered
19:11
and labeled whoever was with them and patient enough to
19:14
believe in their future there allegians will be to those people.
19:20
Speaker 3: Are you hearing what I'm saying? Now? This is very important.
19:24
Speaker 1: You can look at the average young minister and you
19:27
can see the gaps. No matter how since here you
19:32
can see the gaps.
19:33
Speaker 3: It's the reason why.
19:34
Speaker 1: Respectfully speaking, we can have younger ministers who can talk
19:37
about fathers, insult anybody because nobody showed them the long
19:42
term consequence of those kinds of things. All in the
19:46
name of speaking your mind. You see all these ordinances
19:49
in the spirit. People keep breaking. And the trouble is
19:52
that accept the messy of God intercepts. There this casualty
19:55
that is waiting for them, and the danger is they
19:58
will so fight alone.
20:03
Speaker 3: Someone learning.
20:04
Speaker 1: You want to ignite territorial revival, you want to preserve it.
20:09
Speaker 3: We must trust God for grace.
20:11
Speaker 1: Don't look at children and said they're small, When will
20:13
they come? I'll wear you before. Every trouble maker today
20:19
was a child yesterday. Can I tell you this. Every
20:23
national problem was first a regional problem that was not managed.
20:28
Every regional problem was a community problem that was not managed.
20:32
Community problems are family problems. It started from the neglect
20:37
of someone somewhere and then he started growing. Every hambrother
20:41
came from a house. I hope we're still together. Philippians
20:51
four and verse nine. School de Blac Philippians for and
21:00
verse nine. Intentional mentorship of younger believers and ministers to
21:10
ensure continuity.
21:11
Speaker 3: Can we have it economic? Just pull it off from here? Philippians,
21:17
Chapter four and verse nine. Yess what it says?
21:24
Speaker 1: Those things which ye have both learned and received and
21:30
heard and seen in me, It says, do, and the
21:34
God of Peace shall be with you.
21:37
Speaker 3: Those things which ye have both learned.
21:42
Speaker 1: And received and heard and seen in me, do, and
21:47
the God of Peace shall be with you. Every great
21:52
leader and everyone whom God has given an opportunity to
21:56
rise to any elevated position, whether in ministry, whether in business,
22:00
we have a responsibility by God to see to it
22:05
that as much as possible, those committed to us are
22:09
genuinely mentored, and that they become people of stature and balance,
22:14
not lacking in anything. Can I tell you, no matter
22:18
how we travel around preaching the Gospel and blessing people,
22:21
it is the way you build your home that you
22:23
will be rated.
22:26
Speaker 3: I learned this, you know. I would look at our
22:28
fathers and find out that.
22:30
Speaker 1: No matter where they travel, they make sure they're around
22:33
building their people. Until I had the privilege of talking
22:36
with one of our fathers, and I act, say what
22:39
is the secret behind this?
22:40
Speaker 3: And you open my eyes to it.
22:42
Speaker 1: You can go and preaching a cu say three days
22:45
have finished, and leave them and never see the person
22:48
you preach to again, but the one who is with
22:50
you here.
22:52
Speaker 3: If you do not build them, you.
22:54
Speaker 1: Can be a global success, and you can be a
22:57
failure within your ass place.
23:00
Speaker 3: Let me give you an example.
23:02
Speaker 1: If I give you an assignment, and the assignment is
23:04
to pick this pray, this tray and take it to
23:07
God's servant, the man of God.
23:10
Speaker 3: And you come up here and.
23:11
Speaker 1: Sweep this place and worship, and roll on the ground
23:15
and even change this pulpits and you don't pick this.
23:18
The reward that is kept for you is written reward
23:21
for taking this.
23:22
Speaker 3: Who did to be said? You have done well? You
23:26
did not do evil? What you did not do well?
23:28
All the same. So while we seek to be global.
23:33
Speaker 1: As wonderful as it is, we must understand by divinating.
23:37
Jesus had to give account of those that were connected
23:40
to him. In John seventeen, he had to give his set.
23:43
All that you have given me, I have kept, and
23:46
none is lost. He had to explain why Judas was
23:50
not part of them except the son of Petition, and.
23:54
Speaker 3: It was not.
23:54
Speaker 1: My incompetence is so that scripture will be fulfilled away together,
24:05
intentional mentorship of younger believers. I was saying it in
24:11
the morning. A gentleman met me some weeks ago, I think,
24:17
and he came with a large poster, joined the prayer line.
24:20
And you know, I was sweating, already tired, hoping to
24:23
finish so that I will go home. And here is
24:25
a gentleman standing with a big poster, and I thought
24:29
it was a prayer request. As soon as I opened it,
24:31
I saw his face for President of Nigeria.
24:35
Speaker 3: Now I didn't know what I said. What in the world,
24:37
how do you now for it?
24:39
Speaker 1: And look, I'm not looking down. God can use anybody,
24:42
but please, we know God, I'm not talking of a
24:47
visionary young man.
24:48
Speaker 3: You can you just it's not it's difficult.
24:52
Speaker 1: To say these kinds of things because it looks like
24:54
you're looking down on them. But I looked at him
24:57
and he was with the poster, large poster, and I
25:00
was lovingly trying to help them. Then you see, God
25:02
does not leave people in their line up online and
25:05
he was determined. I know the problem of that boy.
25:08
The problem is who raised him. There was something they
25:11
did not teach him about the law process. The consequence
25:14
of it is that conviction. Many years ago in Zaria,
25:18
a gentleman came and met me.
25:19
Speaker 3: He was wearing a regalia.
25:21
Speaker 1: I finished and I saw a group of people and
25:23
he stood there and they said they came for importation
25:26
and release.
25:27
Speaker 3: I said, where are you coming from? They said, we're
25:29
coming from Canu. True story. I said, who are you?
25:31
He said, I'm Jesus. I looked again.
25:33
Speaker 1: I thought it was just claiming and one with Christ
25:35
a minute jokes are part. There was a gentleman who
25:39
stood near him who said, was John and no true story.
25:45
I could fee the zeal and the sincerity. They now
25:49
came to me and they said by revelation. Whatever voice
25:52
spoke to them and said, I am John. So like
25:54
I released Jesus, they now came. I could see the sincerity.
25:58
This is not a wicked boy. There is danger when
26:03
you allow believers to free lance their understanding about God.
26:07
Speaker 3: Growth is methodical.
26:17
Speaker 1: When people free lance their spiritual understanding, there will be gaps,
26:21
and provided their hearts are open to close the gaps.
26:24
That is fine, but most times that gap is garnished
26:27
with pride, and you will now.
26:30
Speaker 3: Not find room to be able to help and close
26:32
those gaps.
26:36
Speaker 1: Intentional mentorship of younger believers and ministers to ensure continuity.
26:43
A man of God once called me and said, every
26:45
time he's preaching, a gentleman who just get up and
26:48
destop the service with prophecy. I said, send him out
26:50
of your church. What does that mean? He said, no, No,
26:52
I don't want it. I said, this is not insecurity. No,
26:56
you have a spiritual responsibility to guide the understanding of
26:59
your people. There are things when you permit their own
27:03
written you have given access to superior versions of those things.
27:08
Speaker 3: Are we together? If someone is staying.
27:11
Speaker 1: Under your roof, he should serve your God. If he's
27:14
coming for weekend, that's all right. But if you will
27:16
stay beyond a certain place, if you don't believe the
27:19
God that gave me that room, leave my house.
27:23
Speaker 3: It took a lot to bring that presence there. HM. Again,
27:32
church is quiet.
27:36
Speaker 1: When we say mentoring people. I'm sorry to say this,
27:39
and please don't feel offended. There are many parents who
27:41
only give bed and stop there. It is seen to
27:46
just give bed to children, and I keep adding problems
27:49
to societies.
27:51
Speaker 3: I went together.
27:52
Speaker 1: People just give bed and give bet and allow those children.
27:56
They are not home two three days, nobody cares. They
27:59
return after the fifth there you are bad, you are welcome.
28:02
Your food is in the kitchen. They disappear again for
28:04
two weeks. Can I tell you anybody who is a parent,
28:09
that thing that happened at the point of marriage is
28:11
not just joining to people. A grace came on you
28:14
to be able to raise your family. You can take
28:16
advantage of that grace.
28:19
Speaker 3: That is a truth.
28:27
Speaker 1: There is trouble for any system that does not have
28:29
a structure for continuity. We have seen ministers, we have
28:34
same business people. We have seen captains of industry. Something
28:39
just impedes or incapacitates their ability for efficiency and there
28:44
is no body they can trust.
28:45
Speaker 3: Again.
28:48
Speaker 1: A man of God can be locked up, maybe somewhere
28:50
and not able to come to church, and literally he
28:53
cannot find any other sound person within his circle, and
28:56
he can say, stand for me.
29:00
Speaker 3: Your name is to be Hallo.
29:08
Speaker 1: One of the reasons why we say Jesus was so
29:10
successful is because of us, that he could train us
29:14
and trust us so much and trust that the church.
29:17
Speaker 3: Will get the job done. Don't focus on your success alone.
29:22
Speaker 1: You must trust God for grace to raise and reproduce
29:27
your kind as much as possible. Number five, the third
29:34
key that ignites and preserves revivals across territories is influenced.
29:42
God's people must rise to prominence so as to preserve
29:47
the interest of the kingdom.
29:49
Speaker 3: Influence, influence.
29:51
Speaker 1: This is sadly a part that has been neglected in
29:56
the body of Christ. We believe in evangelism and growth,
30:00
and then someone just sits in the position of power
30:03
and robbishes all our prayer and fasted with one policy.
30:06
Speaker 3: Influence is very powerful.
30:10
Speaker 1: Influence that God's people must rise to prominence so as
30:16
to preserve the interests of the kingdom.
30:18
Speaker 3: At chapter eighteen, from verse nine and ten.
30:21
Speaker 1: If there's any one of you here who is fighting
30:23
or rejecting influence, I announced to you with every sense
30:27
of love.
30:28
Speaker 3: It is an attack. Don't reject influence.
30:32
Speaker 1: It takes evangelism and influence when through Christ across the
30:37
hearts of men and across territories.
30:39
Speaker 3: At eighteen nine and ten.
30:42
Speaker 1: Please look at this, then spect the Lord onto pull
30:48
in a night in the night by vision.
30:51
Speaker 3: Be not afraid, is said, But speak and hold not
30:55
thy peace.
30:56
Speaker 1: Why eleven ten? For I am with THEE, and no
31:01
man shall set on thee to holt thee. What is
31:05
the advantage for I have much people in this city.
31:11
I have much people in this city.
31:14
Speaker 3: There is a.
31:15
Speaker 1: Spirit that tries to bring an aberated concept of holiness
31:22
to mean you should ignore anything that elevates you to
31:25
a position of notoriety in an attempt to show that
31:29
you are serious with God. That may not be an
31:32
accurate communication of the truth. I can tell you. Influence
31:35
is powerful, and influence is necessary. It's necessary for a preacher,
31:40
it's necessary for an individual. The more you raise and
31:44
have people of influence, the more the purposes of God given.
31:48
Speaker 3: To you can be defended. Especially in the wicked world
31:52
that we live today.
31:54
Speaker 1: Someone can buy a land and another person can come
31:57
just knowing.
31:58
Speaker 3: That a church will be built.
31:59
Speaker 1: There can come and bully Peo, pull away from the
32:02
purposes of God.
32:04
Speaker 3: I believe in influence.
32:05
Speaker 1: I made up my mind as a man of God
32:07
that by the privilege of God's grace, I will never
32:10
only raise people who love Jesus as far as their
32:13
spiritual commitment is a lad I believe in influence that
32:17
God will grant me grace to raise tractagic people a
32:25
way together, strategic people, people of influence. A man of
32:35
God wants who travel for a program, they just cancel
32:37
the design and refuse.
32:39
Speaker 3: What are you a thief to step into the nation.
32:46
Speaker 1: They harass you there again and you face a pleantora
32:50
of embarrassment simply because of the what is Influence can
32:54
manage many things. I'm telling you. Influence can create efficiency.
32:59
It can elons, can walk in partnership with the only
33:02
goost to give you peace, especially in a weakened world
33:07
like this.
33:08
Speaker 3: There are many prayers you will not need to pray.
33:11
Speaker 1: Influence can answer them. I hope you believe what I'm saying.
33:18
There are families that do not have anyone that God
33:21
has reason whatever said, and wants to do with them.
33:24
It just takes messy. I believe in influence and in
33:30
the name of Jesus for everyone who has come here,
33:33
May it please the king Personnad said something very powerful
33:37
the first.
33:37
Speaker 3: Song he was going to raise.
33:39
Speaker 1: He said that he's found out that the more he
33:42
lives Jesus Christ and allows him to be glorified the
33:45
more he gives him an opportunity. I said, that's it,
33:49
he got it, and I I fact be lifted up
33:54
from the earth. I will drop all men that one
33:59
day you will be sitting down and someone.
34:01
Speaker 3: Will call you.
34:02
Speaker 1: That is the prayer request of many people that will
34:04
say I want to see you, and you will think
34:06
there's cammers.
34:07
Speaker 3: You say, I really want to see you. God has
34:09
sent me to come to you.
34:13
Speaker 1: Can I tell you this. There are gate.
34:15
Speaker 3: Keepers across every system.
34:18
Speaker 1: And when you can capture gate keepers for Jesus, you
34:20
have captured the territories.
34:22
Speaker 3: It is true. Do not reject influence. It is powerful.
34:29
Speaker 1: It is an effective tool for igniteing and preserving revivals.
34:35
Let me give us the last and then will pray.
34:39
Are you ready for the sixth? Now an open display
34:42
of love by the church. And open display of love
34:49
by the church. The sixth way we ignite revival and
34:54
preserve it is by an open display of love to
34:59
the church by the church. Love beyond cultural biases, love
35:05
beyond religious biases. Matthew Chapter five and verse forty five.
35:21
It is important that we demonstrate the love of Jesus.
35:25
It says that he might be children of your father,
35:28
which is in heaven, for he maketh his son to
35:32
rise on both the evil and on the good, and
35:35
send that rain on the just and on beyondjust. I
35:39
remember they will say, yeah, we did something in Zaria
35:42
after there was a crisis that happened within that period,
35:45
and we decided to do a peace concert. And then
35:48
we set up something and invited all the people who,
35:51
whether you're.
35:51
Speaker 3: A Christian or not, just come. It was a free
35:54
medical outreach.
35:55
Speaker 1: I was shocked and humbled, almost in tears when I
35:59
saw the amount of unbelievers, women coming with their jobs.
36:04
They now had a legitimate ground to enter the church.
36:08
Speaker 3: They always wanted to.
36:09
Speaker 1: But there seem to be an unwritten thing saince they
36:12
out there now. Love is a language all men understand.
36:18
You don't need to be educated to understand love. Love
36:21
is a language everyone understands. And you could see the
36:24
people crying, bringing their children, and I said, oh, there
36:31
an open display of love, with no prejudices, with no
36:37
whatever it is. We can't do everything, but we can
36:40
do something. I'm telling you the truth. There is evangelism
36:44
that happens by love. There is a way you can
36:48
wrap the gospel, wrap it so much, and savage with love.
36:53
In fact, the Bible says love is the more excellent.
36:56
Speaker 3: Way of doing anything.
36:58
Speaker 1: Preaching by love is better, and preaching singing with love
37:02
is better than singing ministring. The power of God with
37:05
love is better than just ministring. I show you the
37:09
more excellent way.
37:13
Speaker 3: Allelujah.
37:15
Speaker 1: For most of us, we score well on all the
37:19
five points except love. The moment someone comes and is
37:24
not a Christian, you almost kill the person. And then
37:27
if he says no, no, no, no, it's just my name that
37:28
is implicating me I'm a child of God, you suddenly
37:31
change hip critically and say, oh, really, you are welcome,
37:34
And the person says, no, I've seen what I needed
37:36
to see. You are not a Christian. Times can I
37:43
tell you there are many people today who need to
37:45
come to the fold. They may not listen to your gospel,
37:49
but try love and see the one that working power
37:53
of love. Everybody cannot do everything, but everybody.
37:57
Speaker 3: Can do something. That's from where you are, you can
38:01
do something.
38:05
Speaker 1: These six keys I have learned are the keys that
38:08
control the ignition and the preservation of territorial revivals. It
38:14
is impossible for a territory that submits to these principles
38:19
to remain baring of anything God. You know, it is
38:22
almost it is almost like a norm that when the
38:26
move of God comes, it just dies down and fades away.
38:29
It fades away because the principles of its preservation have
38:33
not been taught. The move of God can remain, for
38:36
instance Heaven. For instance Heaven, there's never been a time
38:44
in Heaven when the purpose is of God and God
38:47
himself and Jesus his son is not the central focus.
38:50
Say it and try to bring all kinds of things,
38:53
and he was judged.
38:54
Speaker 3: If Heaven can be that way.
38:56
Speaker 1: We can post every territory and make it to be
39:00
in the earth as.
39:02
Speaker 3: It is in heaven.
39:04
Speaker 1: It's a painful thing for people to be in the
39:08
old age sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, and they look back
39:12
and they see to They look at several parts of
39:16
the world today, places that were centers of revival. Some
39:20
of them they've destroyed every monument everything God, and they
39:24
built all kinds of things. May it never be that
39:29
one day would turn back and say, we used to
39:31
serve God, we used to pray here.
39:34
Speaker 3: Abuja used to be a place where Jesus was glorified.
39:42
Speaker 1: What is my assignment tonight to stand in partnership with
39:45
the grace upon the Man of God. Haven't discussed the
39:50
subject of restoration, personal revival in the morning, and now
39:55
territorial revival. My assignment is to lead us to pray
40:00
and to help us experience the life and the power
40:04
of Jesus genuinely, even if it is for one person
40:08
to experience the reality of this Jesus, so that you
40:11
would know that it's not a theoretical Jesus. That you
40:15
can be revived and refired tonight and you can leave
40:19
this place knowing that the things that I have believed
40:24
are not conningly devised fables, but they are truth. Alleluiah.
40:34
I became tired of judge. I became tired of religion,
40:39
very sincere people. But I would listen to a preacher's
40:42
preach and I would watch people oppressed, seek, downcast, dejected,
40:52
and they would so vocally talk about the Jesus who
40:55
could change things.
40:57
Speaker 3: And in my inno sense, I would sit down and say, God,
41:00
are you this difficult to reach your people? There's something wrong.
41:04
Speaker 1: The propositions that are given about you. It tells that
41:08
You are a benevolent God, you are loving, you can,
41:11
you are apt to reach down to people, But what
41:13
is responsible for that distance? It led me to that pursuit.
41:20
Days became weeks, weeks became months, and I said, Lord,
41:24
I'm not looking to be a preacher. All I want
41:27
is your presence and answers to this. I do not
41:31
want to stand before people and not be able to
41:35
give them an explanation as to why they are unable
41:39
to see your power. And I said, Lord, whatever it
41:42
would take, please work on me.
41:44
Speaker 3: I'm not in a hurry to move.
41:46
Speaker 1: Build me well so that I can do my best
41:49
with the gift of this life you have given me
41:51
to represent you so thoroughly. This has been my call,
41:56
and I'm inviting you to stop knowing now Christianity, our rich, careless,
42:03
powerless Christianity that cannot bring glory to the name of
42:07
the Lord and content for something genuine.
42:11
Speaker 3: There's gonna be a great awakening.
42:17
Speaker 5: There's gonna be a great revival in herland. There's gonna
42:24
be a great awakened. And name everyone who goes on Jeesus.
42:36
Speaker 1: They we be said, there are still territories that are unreached,
42:46
and they have been so frustrated.
42:49
Speaker 3: They hit anything Christianity.
42:51
Speaker 1: We need to bring the Gospel of power once again
42:55
to tell them Jesus saves, Jesus heals, Jesus delivers. There
43:02
are many people who have tried this Jesus thing for
43:05
want of words, and many of them are packing up
43:07
a lot of things.
43:11
Speaker 3: After the pandemic. Many people were not Christians again.
43:16
Speaker 1: They just said, you know what, I've been looking for
43:18
a chance to hate Jesus officially, and now this pandemic
43:23
gave me an opportunity. And with flamesy excuses they justified.
43:28
They're refusing the things of God. You try to talk
43:34
to people about Jesus.
43:36
Speaker 3: Oh, their lives are.
43:37
Speaker 1: Full of bitter and painful stories, and they credit their
43:41
pain to Jesus.
43:43
Speaker 3: Where was he when my loved one died? Where was
43:47
he when.
43:48
Speaker 1: My certificate has been lying like a piece of paper
43:51
for decades? I have prayed and cried for a job.
43:54
I have watched onbelievers used divination to get jobs and promotions.
43:59
Let me announce to you that Jesus is alive. Let
44:07
me announce to you that Jesus is still exalted.
44:12
Speaker 3: Ah, He's exalted. The King is exulted on time, I
44:19
will praise.
44:21
Speaker 1: He is exulted forever, exulted at time.
44:28
Speaker 3: Will praise, say.
44:35
Speaker 1: He the.
44:39
Speaker 4: Forever.
44:40
Speaker 2: He's still showing.
44:46
Speaker 3: A rejoicing your whole. He's exulted. My King's exultant. He said. Away.
45:02
Speaker 1: Now that's sleep, rest, and Christ will give you life.
45:06
Let me speak to someone. That was why I started
45:09
with the subject that we started with yesterday. Can I
45:12
tell you, don't get used to pain. Jesus is still alive.
45:16
Don't get used to failure, don't get used to poverty,
45:20
don't get used to defeat. It is true that Jesus died,
45:28
but for how long? He only died for three days?
45:34
And he resurrected in glory, trialled over death. Shut the
45:41
mouth of Hades. Can I tell you this with sabbe
45:47
living God, I know that the world today looks like
45:51
he is Jesus.
45:51
Speaker 3: There they are all kinds of things.
45:54
Speaker 1: Or let me tell you sincerely, the one who sits
45:57
upon the throne is not scratching his head wondering what
46:00
to do.
46:01
Speaker 3: He's almighty. Now on to the lamb upon the throne.
46:09
We raise us. Sound we raised. Let's raise a wind.
46:18
Speaker 5: Before He's God and God and lost Hilda to We are.
46:31
Speaker 3: Now on to the world. Upon the throne we raise sound.
46:39
We raise a sound
46:45
Speaker 2: Over the ancients of the l
