- 0:00Wave it to Jesus and tell him, thank you.
- 0:03Thank you Lord for your grace. Thank you for the Holy Spirit,
- 0:10Thank you for your power. Is someone thanking the Lord?
- 0:23Bless the Lord, Oh my soul. Oh.
- 0:29My soul. I worship your holy name.

- 1:24Father, bless us tonight, let our lives be changed, let our
- 1:29lives be transformed. For the Bible declares that the
- 1:33Lord is that Spirit. And it says where the Spirit of
- 1:38the Lord is, there is liberty. And it says with we all, with
- 1:42faces unveiled, we are changed into the image of God from glory
- 1:50to glory, even us by the Spirit of God.
- 1:53Ask him for a visitation tonight.
- 1:56Father, give me an encounter tonight.
- 2:07Give me an encounter by your spirit.
- 2:09Let my life change. Bring a turn around to my
- 2:14destiny. Open my eyes.
- 2:23Let light come from heaven. Let all prison doors be opened.
- 2:29Let it be a new face for me. In the name of Jesus Christ, in
- 2:40the name of Jesus Christ, that which God has in store for you
- 2:45will not pass you by. In Jesus name.
- 2:49Father, help us tonight. We have come to learn, we have
- 2:55come to grow, we have come to be built.
- 2:57Spirit of the living God, we submit to your wisdom and we
- 3:02pray that you open up the bread of life unto us in Jesus name.
- 3:07I pray God bless you. Please be seated.
- 3:10Good evening everybody. Hallelujah the psalmist said.
- 3:19I was glad when they said unto me, let us go to the House of
- 3:25the Lord. Many things happen in the House
- 3:28of the Lord. Encounters happen in the House
- 3:32of the Lord. Transformation happens in the
- 3:35House of the Lord. Empowerment, Fellowship,
- 3:39illumination, wisdom, ignorance is driven out like smoke before
- 3:45the wind in the presence of the Lord and tonight will be no
- 3:49different. In the name of Jesus I honor and
- 3:53appreciate everyone. Global family connecting all
- 3:56across the globe. You're welcome.
- 3:59Your life will never be the same in Jesus name.
- 4:02I just want to honor and bless a very dear and wonderful man of
- 4:06God. Pastor Edward all the way from
- 4:09Enugu house on the rock. Please let's bless him.
- 4:12Hallelujah. Such such a phenomenal man of
- 4:18God. He's a description of what the
- 4:20Bible calls an honorable man. Thank you so much Sir.
- 4:24We appreciate your presence. Hallelujah.
- 4:27Praise the name of the Lord Striving for Mastery Part 2.
- 4:35Amen. We started Part 1 but had to
- 4:41sacrifice it for the Easter Celebration service and then the
- 4:48Miracle service. But now we have to resume.
- 4:53And please pay attention tonight because your life will never be
- 4:56the same. You see the word kaenonia.
- 5:03In fact, let me start this with Second Corinthians 13 and 14.
- 5:07Please. Let's start on this note
- 5:08tonight, 2nd Corinthians 1314, Paul was speaking to the church
- 5:13in Corinth and this is what he said.
- 5:15The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, the
- 5:22communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
- 5:28How many of you, not some, be with you all?
- 5:33The word communion is where we get the word Koinonia.
- 5:36Its a Greek word. It means communion.
- 5:39It means fellowship. It means sharing together.
- 5:43It means participation like two people drinking from the same
- 5:47vessel. So he's saying among the many
- 5:50things that must be with you all is what he calls the communion
- 5:56of the Holy Spirit. Fellowship, Hallelujah and
- 6:00fellowship with the Holy Spirit is in 2 dimensions.
- 6:03There is what we call intimacy. Intimacy means that you get to
- 6:07know Him and everything that He brings.
- 6:11As of the father. Jesus said when He, the Spirit
- 6:14of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth.
- 6:19So the Holy Spirit's primary assignment is to be able to
- 6:24guide us into the truth. Sanctify them by Your truth.
- 6:30Your Word is truth. Are we learning tonight?
- 6:34And then the other side of Koinonia is what we call
- 6:38partnership. Partnership means you and the
- 6:42Spirit of God together doing exploits for the Kingdom and the
- 6:46Lord walking with them, confirming the Word, with
- 6:50science following. And so every time you come, this
- 6:54is Koinonia. It's not just the name of a
- 6:56ministry or the name of a program.
- 6:59It's an attempt to describe the experience that awaits you for
- 7:04every time you appear before the Lord.
- 7:07Hallelujah, communion that comes through the ward, and communion
- 7:14that comes through the corporate fellowship of the brethren.
- 7:19And when we break bread, to break bread there does not just
- 7:21mean to break physical bread like the Holy Communion, even
- 7:25though that is profitable, but to break that word.
- 7:28Acts chapter 4. Acts chapter 2 and verse 42.
- 7:31The Bible says And they continued steadfastly in the
- 7:36apostles doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of
- 7:41bread and in prayer. This is what they continue doing
- 7:45until they became mighty men. So for every service, please,
- 7:51you must understand that you're not just being part of a vision
- 7:55or coming to honor the ritual of spirituality.
- 7:59Every encounter with Jesus on this mountain is adding number
- 8:04one to your spiritual development.
- 8:06Number 2 is giving God a chance in your life to evolve you into
- 8:11the version that will literally be a sign and a wonder.
- 8:16When they saw the unlanded apostles noun when they were
- 8:20disciples and they saw the other version of them, the Bible says
- 8:24they remember that they had been with Jesus.
- 8:28Hallelujah. Striving for Mastery is a series
- 8:32that came by the Spirit of God to help us rise to levels of
- 8:41excellence in the Spirit. The goal of the series is to
- 8:46open us up to the systems of the Kingdom to help us know that a
- 8:50possibility exists in the life and the journey of a believer
- 8:55where you rise from being a babe and amateur in spiritual things.
- 9:00You can gain stature, you can have power with God.
- 9:03You can command victory perpetually through knowledge.
- 9:08The series hopes to drive away guess, walk and shadow boxing to
- 9:12a Christian experience so that you can lay hold on eternal
- 9:17life. Like the Bible says, Hallelujah,
- 9:20it says I have fought the fight of faith, I have laid whole to
- 9:24fight the good fight of faith and to lay hold on eternal life.
- 9:28Not just to assume it. There are many believers who
- 9:33love Jesus sincerely, but when it has to do with our faith walk
- 9:37and that which concerns our lives and our destinies, I
- 9:41submit to you that most believers are confused and at
- 9:45best just guessing their way through life in hope that they
- 9:49will work in compliance with a few principles.
- 9:52And for many of us, the only index that we use to measure
- 9:56progress is financial well-being.
- 9:59And as important as that is, the moment an individual finds out
- 10:02that he's doing well financially, he's deceived to
- 10:05assume that everything is all right.
- 10:08And so most people do not have the hunger and the drive again,
- 10:11because in truth, money can help you do a lot of things.
- 10:15And in that in in that supposed accomplishment, you can forget
- 10:19that there are other wittier matters in the Kingdom.
- 10:23Hallelujah, striving for mastery.
- 10:28Let's look at our text, Second Timothy, chapter 2 and verse 5.
- 10:31This is Part 2. In fact, let me arrange it
- 10:33properly. You can arrange it in your notes
- 10:35and media. Please.
- 10:37Let's work together. So we arrange it.
- 10:38Let's call Part 1 the foundation.
- 10:40We took out time. I know that is Part 1 is about
- 10:43two or three weeks old, but I'll do a quick recap.
- 10:47Hallelujah. We laid a foundation in Part 1,
- 10:53helping us understand the spirituality of life.
- 10:56When I began, we were talking about the fact that life and
- 11:00living is spiritual. You don't have to be a
- 11:04Christian, you just have to be alive.
- 11:05It's a fact you will one day be forced to realize.
- 11:08It has nothing to do with the bias of faith.
- 11:11It is a fact that the realm of the spirit controls the physical
- 11:19realm. The realm of the spirit governs
- 11:22the physical realm. That means all that you see is
- 11:25not all that there is. Everything physical was derived.
- 11:29There is nothing physical that was original.
- 11:31Everything physical was derived from a level and a dimension
- 11:36that was out of this 3 dimensional realm.
- 11:39Hallelujah. Hebrews Chapter 11 and verse 3
- 11:43says to faith. We understand that the walls
- 11:47were framed by the Word of God so that the things which were
- 11:53made are seen were not made of the things which do appear, they
- 11:58were not made with material and physical things.
- 12:02In Second Corinthians chapter 4 and verse 18, Paul again
- 12:04speaking to the church in Corinth. 418 Second Corinthians
- 12:08While we look not at the things which are seen, Paul categorizes
- 12:14realities into two that there are things that are seen, but
- 12:18that there are things that are not seen.
- 12:21And he shows the disparity in quality that the things that are
- 12:26seen. That means the things that are
- 12:27physical are even temporal, and the things that are unseen are
- 12:34eternal or long lasting, right? So we took our time to set that
- 12:39foundation straight that life is spiritual.
- 12:42You cannot understand the subject of mastery until you
- 12:45first and foremost understand the spirituality of life.
- 12:49Unfortunately, believers seem to be late comers in this concept.
- 12:54Traditionalists know that life is spiritual.
- 12:58Most, you know, religions across the world, they honour very
- 13:04vocally the spirituality of life.
- 13:07They know that your strength is derived from your fraternity
- 13:10with a deity that is beyond this 3 dimensional realm.
- 13:15But now, when it has to do with believers, sometimes because of
- 13:18philosophy or education and all of these things, it seems to
- 13:24take us a long time before we come into the realization that
- 13:28no matter how educated, how enlightened, how philosophical
- 13:31you are, the truth still remains the truth.
- 13:34Life is spiritual. More than sociological, more
- 13:39than the logic of physical laws, life is spiritual.
- 13:47Hallelujah. Then we began to discuss a few
- 13:51keys that would help us to gain mastery #1 we spoke about the
- 13:57Ministry of prayer. It's a quick recap of Part 1,
- 14:03the Ministry of Prayer. Jesus himself, showing us how to
- 14:08live a life of mastery and excellence, emphasized on the
- 14:12need for a robust and a healthy prayer life.
- 14:16In Luke chapter 18 and verse one, the Bible says he speak
- 14:20this parable to the end that men ought always to pray and not to
- 14:26faint. First Thessalonians 517, the
- 14:30apostle was teaching the church in Thessalonica and he said pray
- 14:35without season, Hallelujah, pray without season.
- 14:40Pray without season doesn't mean pray from morning till night.
- 14:43It means be consistent in your prayer life.
- 14:46Are we learning? Yes, that a lot.
- 14:50As far as the victory of the believer is concerned, a lot.
- 14:54A major part of your victory and you're excelling in this life
- 14:58depends on the health and the quality of your prayer life.
- 15:02No matter how well meaning, well-intentioned you are as a
- 15:06believer, if there is a bankruptcy of fire upon your
- 15:10prayer altar, it will translate into a life of perpetual defeat.
- 15:15Please don't forget this. Let me repeat again that if your
- 15:18life is bankrupt of fire upon your altar, I guarantee you no
- 15:23matter what is working in your life now, it is only temporal
- 15:29When your prayer life goes down, it's a matter of time.
- 15:31Every other thing in your life will start reporting that
- 15:35absence of a healthy prayer life.
- 15:38Hallelujah. Even Jesus prayed and he said
- 15:42all men should pray. He taught his disciples to pray
- 15:47the early church they met and part of the many things like we
- 15:51read earlier in Acts chapter 2 and verse 42.
- 15:55The Bible says they continued in the apostles doctrine and in
- 16:01fellowship and in breaking of bread and in prayer.
- 16:06In Acts chapter 6 and verse 4. The Bible says there was a
- 16:12little argument between the Grecian women and all of that as
- 16:16to the matters of serving tables and the apostle said do not come
- 16:20and distract us. You get people who we can put in
- 16:23charge of the welfare. But as far as we are concerned
- 16:27we will give ourselves continually to prayer.
- 16:31Please keep it there media to prayer and to the ministry of
- 16:36the world. I did teach us when we
- 16:43considered part one that there are many dimensions to prayer.
- 16:59Please place your hand on your chest.
- 17:02I'm seeing in the name of Jesus the Spirit of death, by the
- 17:16power that raised Christ from the dead right now, I decree and
- 17:22declare. In the name of Jesus I'm seeing,
- 17:26I just saw a family weeping that someone just died.
- 17:29And this is what I want to cancel.
- 17:31Place your hand on your chest, I decree and declare.
- 17:34Right now, every influence of death, please pray in one minute
- 17:44be broken. Be broken, be broken, be broken.
- 17:55Shaparoscatia everywhere across the death the the the globe, the
- 18:01spirit of death. We attack you.
- 18:06Everyone of our people is covered.
- 18:08Now covered by the blood on the road, covered by the blood in
- 18:17the air, covered by the blood. You shall not die, believe and
- 18:33declare the works of the Lord. Amen.
- 18:42You shall not die. Believe and declare the works of
- 18:50the Lord. One more time sing from your
- 18:55heart you. Shall not die.
- 19:08Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Please sit down.
- 19:17Just just allow me do my thing. 2-3 minutes.
- 19:19We'll get back to the word. You see, one of the things about
- 19:22the prophetic is that if God reveals a thing and you don't
- 19:25respond, it can cost somebody their life at that point.
- 19:30Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
- 19:36I'm I'm seeing a writing on the ground and I'm seeing the word
- 19:42restoration, not please listen, listen, I know that everybody
- 19:46will say Amen, but there are 18 people inside here and outside
- 19:51this prophetic word. One of the reasons why God
- 19:54brought you to service is because there is this plague
- 19:58that makes you keep losing things, losing things.
- 20:02You have lost as individuals, you have lost money, you have
- 20:06lost opportunities, but my God is in restoration that anointing
- 20:1118 people. I stretch my hands right now.
- 20:15The power of God will come upon those 18 people, and in a very
- 20:20strange way, the things that have left you will begin to
- 20:23return in the name of Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus
- 20:28Christ now, therefore, I declare, by the power of the
- 20:32living God, everyone among the 18 people that I see that the
- 20:36hand of God should come upon. I declare.
- 20:38Receive that impartation now. Help them.
- 20:45Receive that impartation now. Receive that impartation now.
- 20:55For someone last year they relieved you of a job.
- 20:58Believe me when I tell you they are about to call you back.
- 21:01It's a spiritual issue. Help them.
- 21:03It's not the issue of incompetence.
- 21:06Help them. Please my God, are you helping
- 21:08them so they don't injure themselves in the name of Jesus?
- 21:12Everyone who manipulated the realm of the Spirit for them to
- 21:15have relieved you. I stand by the God of heaven and
- 21:19I declare before this week comes to an end, let there be a
- 21:22strange restoration. The Lord is showing me somebody
- 21:35you are not here, but you are having breathing problem.
- 21:38You know how it used to be for COVID patients, but this is not
- 21:41COVID. This is the spirit of death that
- 21:43wants to take that man. He's a father in a family.
- 21:46In the name of Jesus, by the blood of the eternal covenant,
- 21:50wherever you are, whether you are watching here or connecting
- 21:53across the globe, in the name of Jesus, we preserve your life
- 21:57now. We preserve your life in the
- 22:10name of Jesus. Please be seated.
- 22:15You can take OK this is fine. We must learn to be sensitive to
- 22:22spiritual things. A spiritual mind is not just one
- 22:25who prays and studies scripture, but you must train your organs
- 22:29of interacting with the realm of the Spirit so that you can pick
- 22:32signals to know. Because one, one response can
- 22:38save a person, a family. Hallelujah.
- 22:45Bring the two people who start running out under the anointing.
- 22:47Now just hold them, guide them, and bring them here.
- 22:50I want to prophecy to them. I just want an ego.
- 22:53When God speaks like that, it's because there is a grace.
- 23:06Shabba Katowski, I'm under the shadow of your wings.
- 23:20Your influence is all over me. I am under the shadow of your
- 23:28wings. Your influence is all over me.
- 23:36I am under the shadow of your wings.
- 23:40Please bring them. Your influence is all over me.
- 24:08I am victorious. I have overcome.
- 24:19I am victorious. I have overcome.
- 24:29I am victorious. This woman, stand up, please
- 24:39Madam, The woman at the back of this man wearing glasses, please
- 24:43stop that woman for me. Stand up.
- 24:47Lift your hands where you are. Madam, I just saw oil being
- 24:51poured on you. In the name of Jesus, I release
- 24:54you to a new level that these challenges that have plagued
- 24:58your life and your family, they come to an end now.
- 25:04Just be patient. We're getting back to the world.
- 25:06Am I wasting your time? Whatever.
- 25:27Shut the ears of your destiny helper so that they don't hear
- 25:30when the Spirit beckons on them in the name of Jesus again, I'm
- 25:35seeing 11 people. I know that this prayer is for
- 25:38everybody, but by the Spirit of the living God, 11 people.
- 25:42The ministry of destiny help us have been long overkill.
- 25:46Shabaka tosca di bata by the anointing of the Spirit of God,
- 25:51I release help them please, please, whether you're an OSHA
- 25:54or not, just help them so that. I'm under the shadow of your
- 26:05wheels. Your influence is all over me.
- 26:13I am under the shadow of your wheels.
- 26:24I am under the shadow of your wheels.
- 26:46Hallelujah. Now I'm seeing the number seven.
- 26:51There are many of you. Listen carefully.
- 26:53Listen carefully, listen carefully.
- 26:58There were many dimensions you once touched in the realm of the
- 27:02Spirit, but I don't know what happened to your spiritual life
- 27:07and you lost that dimension. Some of you prophetic dreams,
- 27:11some of you revelations, some of you gave.
- 27:14God gave you the eyes that sees nothing happens above, above you
- 27:18that you do not see. But you lost it.
- 27:21Like the hell of Samson and the Lord.
- 27:23I know his restoration, but this is it is like a restoration of
- 27:27mantels and dimensions faces gates that were closed over you
- 27:32spiritually. I stretched my hands right now
- 27:35in the name of Jesus. All those who this prophetic
- 27:38word is for by the Spirit of God.
- 27:40May that fire rest upon you now. May that fire up a couple shake
- 27:48developer, then the Gaparatos Katia at the center of water.
- 27:54That's what I'm hearing at the scent of water, at the scent of
- 27:57water, at the scent of water, at the scent of water.
- 28:01The water of the world. Oh, fire is burning here at the
- 28:07scent of water. A restoration is happening to
- 28:11your spiritual experiences. God is revisiting you again,
- 28:16ladies, gentlemen, all together revisiting you.
- 28:32War betides a man in this end time who loses his ability to
- 28:36see, his ability to hear, his ability to perceive.
- 28:41You will be like a dead man in the spirit.
- 28:50Hallelujah. Please don't be tired.
- 28:52The Lord is ministering to me. Hear me.
- 28:55Don't feel offended by what I'm saying.
- 28:57I'm just speaking as I'm directed.
- 28:59There are many of you here. There are people in your life
- 29:03that the devil is going to use to destroy you, but God wants to
- 29:06bring that separation. Now for some of them, they don't
- 29:09look like it. But don't believe what I'm
- 29:11telling you. Among the people within your
- 29:14circle, there are people that the devil has planted seeds.
- 29:18And if you are not sensitive to destroy you in the name of
- 29:21Jesus, may the all seen eye of God reach into your destiny and
- 29:26begin to bring separation, mysterious separations by the
- 29:31Spirit. Some of you, even though we are
- 29:49not declaring a corporate fast, but some of you after this
- 29:51meeting, don't be surprised when the Spirit of God gives you
- 29:55instructions. Wait upon Him one day, 2 days,
- 29:58three days. Just obey as He comes.
- 30:00Because there are things where listen, where in a season where
- 30:04sensitivity can mean the difference between life and
- 30:07death, sensitivity can mean the difference between tapping into
- 30:12what God is doing for the next season or be internally minded
- 30:17and then you remain grounded. Allow me pray for one.
- 30:25Group of people and then we'll get back to the teaching of the
- 30:29world. I've seen this many times.
- 30:32This is not the first time I'm seeing it where I will see a
- 30:35human being in the realm of the spirit and yet not see the head
- 30:38or I'll see the head covered. I know that every time this
- 30:42happens, something is the glory of a man is an unveiling of what
- 30:46God anointed you to do. And let me tell you, when your
- 30:48glory is covered, no matter what you do physically, you, you will
- 30:53never be able to rise. I want to release some people
- 30:55right now in the name of Jesus Christ, even the Son of the
- 31:00living God, whether by divination, by activities of
- 31:04witchcraft, everyone here under any kind of siege, where your
- 31:09glory, your productivity, the power of God, that which should
- 31:13announce you has been hidden and covered.
- 31:16I decree and declare, Be loose now.
- 31:21Please have them Shapakatos, kativa la tosia.
- 31:25Be loose now. Be loose now.
- 31:38And for all those who are in front, in the name of Jesus, I
- 31:41declare that which has come upon you from God and by God remains
- 31:46permanent and that which is inconsistent with the word of
- 31:51God over your life. As you are free now, you are
- 31:54free forever in Jesus name I pray, please be seated.
- 32:00Thank you SO. Much just help them up.
- 32:15Who is VV? Is there someone with the name?
- 32:22Victory. Not victor.
- 32:25Not Victoria. Victory, the Lord is telling me
- 32:27you are by my right at the back. This is what I'm seeing.
- 32:30Is there someone like that? Please verify.
- 32:34Well, your name is Victory, Madam.
- 32:37Come. Victory.
- 32:43Where are you from? There's somebody running here.
- 32:49His name is. Oh, Victory.
- 32:51OK. Male and female.
- 32:53I want to pray for you the way God is going to be lifting
- 32:59people in this house bar. Believe me, except you see it by
- 33:04yourself, you would think it was stage managed believe.
- 33:07Me the kind of mantels and graces that will be resting on
- 33:12people. You will see people changing
- 33:14levels in ways that even that themselves.
- 33:17I'm telling you this by the Spirit of God.
- 33:57My dear victory, I pray for you in the name of Jesus Christ in
- 34:01this season, even as God is revealing to me.
- 34:04May He visit your family in a way that will surprise you in
- 34:10the name of Jesus. And the Lord is saying, I should
- 34:12prophecy to you. Remember ye not the former
- 34:14things, nor consider the things of old.
- 34:17That in this season He's doing a new thing in your life.
- 34:21And I declare that the grace that will cause what is being
- 34:23done in the realm of the Spirit to manifest.
- 34:26May that grace rest upon you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
- 34:32In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Hallelujah.
- 34:37I sense that tonight as I teach, there will be so many
- 34:40impartations when it comes to you receive it by faith.
- 34:45Some of you is already on because you see, I'm not the
- 34:47only one teaching. Mine is to.
- 34:49Declare, but the Holy Ghost will be moving from row to row.
- 34:53When he comes to you. Don't act like he's not there.
- 34:57He will row by row. He will visit you when he comes
- 35:01to you. It's like a row call.
- 35:05His assignment is to take away anything that does not look like
- 35:09Christ and bring to your life everything that looks like
- 35:13Christ but is not in your life. Hallelujah.
- 35:23Please sit down. Please sit down.
- 35:33So I was talking about the Ministry of Prayer that every
- 35:38believer must submit himself or herself to the ministry of
- 35:44prayer. That gentleman you are taking
- 35:46back, just turn him for me, my friend, look at me.
- 35:49Shout Jesus as loud as you can. Let that be the end of captivity
- 35:58in your life in the name of Jesus.
- 36:07Say in the name of Jesus, I receive grace to pray.
- 36:14Say it again, in the name of Jesus I receive grace to pray.
- 36:21Please hear me. The times that we live in are
- 36:24not times of pray for me. You must obtain grace from God
- 36:29to pray. There are times that Joshua
- 36:31Salman will not be there when the gate stand.
- 36:34You must master the art of prayer in its entirety.
- 36:39I did teach you in Part 1 of this series that prayer has four
- 36:44principal assignments in the life of the believer.
- 36:47I don't want to go into it, but you have to go back and listen
- 36:52very carefully and understand the dimensions of prayer.
- 36:55Let me do a quick recap. Number one, that the first
- 36:58assignment of prayer is for growth and transformation.
- 37:02When we engage in the ministry of prayer, it supplies the
- 37:06strength for growth and transformation #2 an Ave. to
- 37:10make petitions and requests. The second assignment of prayer
- 37:16is that it provides an Ave. to make petitions and requests.
- 37:21The Bible says that our requests be made known.
- 37:24Philippians 4 and verse 6. It says be anxious for nothing.
- 37:28King James says careful, but in everything by prayer and
- 37:32supplication with Thanksgiving. Let your request be made known
- 37:37on to God. The third assignment of prayer
- 37:42as revealed in Scripture is for spiritual legislation.
- 37:46That means we create possibilities, we create
- 37:49realities. The Bible says where the word of
- 37:52a king is, there is power. I prophesied as I was commanded,
- 37:58and there was a sound. We can create realities and
- 38:01possibilities through the power of prayer.
- 38:05And finally, the 4th dimension of prayer as revealed in
- 38:08Scripture is for warfare and intercession to be able to ward
- 38:14off the arsenals of darkness that fight against our lives and
- 38:20our destinies. You must learn to pray, key #2
- 38:25and that's where we left off. I'll take it from there.
- 38:28The second key, if you want to contend for mastery, if you want
- 38:33your life to rise to a higher level of spiritual excellence,
- 38:37is understanding and engaging the laws and principles of the
- 38:43Kingdom. This is a long one.
- 38:45Understanding and engaging the laws and the principles of the
- 38:51Kingdom. The first key being prayer if
- 38:56you intend to strive for mastery.
- 38:59The second key is that you must understand and engage. 2 very
- 39:04important words You can understand and fail to engage.
- 39:08You will still not get results. You need to understand then
- 39:12obtain grace to engage the. Laws.
- 39:15LAWS and Principles of the Kingdom in Luke Chapter 11 and
- 39:22verse 52. Luke 11, 52 It says war unto you
- 39:28lawyers. Jesus is angry now, for ye have
- 39:30taken away the key of knowledge. The key of knowledge He entered
- 39:36not in yourself and them that were entering you hindered.
- 39:41Hallelujah. When it has to do with seeing
- 39:44the glory of God revealed in the life of a believer, please pay
- 39:47attention. There is always a part that you
- 39:50have to play. We have emphasized this, and I
- 39:53will continue to drum it in this house that every kind of faith
- 39:58walk or Christian practice that makes the outcome of your life
- 40:03absolutely dependent on God without any participation or
- 40:07partnership on your own part and from your own end is inaccurate,
- 40:12is incomplete when it has to do with your life and destiny.
- 40:16It is not all up to God. And it is not all up to you.
- 40:20Leviticus Chapter 9 and verse 6. Moses told the people that this
- 40:25is what the Lord had commanded that ye should do, He says, and
- 40:29the glory of the Lord shall appear unto you.
- 40:33You want to see the appearance of the glory, Don't just wish
- 40:36for the glory. There are things to do
- 40:41Hallelujah. In Exodus chapter 33, Moses made
- 40:45two requests. Unfortunately, the body of
- 40:48Christ only pays attention to 1 Exodus 33.
- 40:51The first request was in verse 13, Exodus 33 and verse 13.
- 40:57The first prayer request that Moses made was to know the ways
- 41:01of God. I pray thee, if I have found
- 41:04grace in Thy sight, show me now Thy way that I may know You.
- 41:10That was the first prayer. Then the second prayer, 5 verses
- 41:13later, verse 18, he's now requesting Moses.
- 41:16Now in verse 18, I beseech you, show me your glory.
- 41:22So there is a relationship between His ways and His glory.
- 41:26Don't just ask for His glory. You must know His ways.
- 41:32Are we learning? So discussing the laws, my
- 41:42apologies. We'll continue discussing the
- 41:45laws that we have. I gave us one law from last the
- 41:49last time, Part 1. And I think that's where we end
- 41:55the law of the sacrifice of total surrender.
- 41:59Still remember? OK, Write it down in case you
- 42:02didn't get it that time. We're dealing with laws now.
- 42:07In fact, you can call them Laws of Dominion.
- 42:10That's under Part 2 now. So Part 1, you can call it the
- 42:15Foundation, Part 2, Striving for Mastery in bracket or under the
- 42:22Laws of Dominion. The first law that I gave us in
- 42:26Part 1 is the sacrifice of total me technical praise God, Praise
- 42:51God, my apologies. Thank you.
- 42:54So the sacrifice of total surrender.
- 42:57Second Corinthians chapter 5, 2nd Corinthians chapter 5 and we
- 43:03look at verse 14 and 15, it says for the love of Christ
- 43:09constrained us because we first judge that if one died for all,
- 43:16then we're all dead 15. And that he died for all that
- 43:23day which live. Should not henceforth leave unto
- 43:27themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again,
- 43:33so that Jesus died for you. And in his mind, he believed
- 43:38that if you acknowledge or you recognize the depth of sacrifice
- 43:42He made for you, it will no longer be an inconvenience for
- 43:45you to also respond first to him.
- 43:48You get what the Scripture is saying now, that in his mind and
- 43:51in his thinking, He gave everything for you, first
- 43:54because he loved you, but then in hope.
- 43:57That if you really. Understand the extent of his
- 44:00sacrifice. You would also be able to make
- 44:03whatever sacrifice it takes, the sacrifice of total surrender.
- 44:10Most believers want to gain mastery.
- 44:12They want to command power with God.
- 44:15They want to excel at extraordinary levels, but they
- 44:18violate this first law. The first law of dominion, as
- 44:23far as gaining mastery is concerned, is absolute
- 44:26surrender. Not just what you do, who you
- 44:29are. You must assume a state and a
- 44:31posture in the Spirit where your life is completely surrendered.
- 44:37I think I've said it in this House that when you.
- 44:43Come forward to. What we call giving your life to
- 44:46Christ in in in reality you are not giving your life to Christ
- 44:53when you come forward to be saved you are receiving his
- 44:57life. Are we together because there's
- 44:59something wrong with that life. That's why you are coming for
- 45:01another one. Are we together?
- 45:03So when you really come to Christ, you are not necessarily
- 45:06we just say it and we understand what we're saying.
- 45:08But from a theological standpoint now the the person
- 45:13about to be saved is not giving his life to Christ.
- 45:16He's receiving the life of Christ.
- 45:19Giving your life to Christ is an activity of surrender that
- 45:24prepares you for service. The Bible now demands that you
- 45:28give your life to Christ. If and when you are prepared to
- 45:33be used by God. So giving your life to Christ is
- 45:36an activity for mature believers who desire to be greatly used by
- 45:40God. Let me assure you, 2 of you can
- 45:45be believers in the same church in the same place, but the
- 45:50possibilities that you command, among many factors, would depend
- 45:55on the degree to which you are surrendered.
- 45:57You will never be able to receive the same kind of result
- 46:01with a believer who is yielded and surrendered.
- 46:04If and when you are not. You can call the same name of
- 46:08Jesus. You can read the same Bible is
- 46:11the realm of the Spirit. That will tell you the
- 46:13difference. Paul, I know surrendered, Jesus.
- 46:17I know surrendered. Sons of Skiva, who are you?
- 46:23Hallelujah. The law of total surrender stems
- 46:29from the understanding that all that I am and all that I have
- 46:33belong to Him. And that I must lose the ability
- 46:36to tell him no. What this these are the details
- 46:39that are captured when you are dealing with the subject of
- 46:42surrender. That any believer who has not
- 46:45lost the ability to tell God no is not truly yielded.
- 46:49You must consciously, as an act of your will, lose the ability
- 46:54to tell him no. Total obedience.
- 47:02If he says to go left, you go left.
- 47:06If he says to go right, now you go right.
- 47:09You see that? Trusting that the one who is
- 47:13giving you that instruction is not how to destroy you.
- 47:17So you can even blindly follow him, knowing that the thoughts
- 47:22that I think to what you said the Lord, are thoughts of.
- 47:25Peace and not of evil, to bring you a future and unexpected end.
- 47:30Most believers are not yielded. They come to God negotiating
- 47:35everything at their terms. They want the power of God at
- 47:39their terms. They want victory at their
- 47:41terms. They want an excelling life, a
- 47:43life of dominion at their terms. When you come to Him, you die to
- 47:48self. I taught you that there are two
- 47:50things you must overcome to be great in life.
- 47:53One is sin, the second itself. If you are free from sin and you
- 47:57are not free from self, you will still suffer.
- 48:00You must be free from sin and free from self.
- 48:05Write it down. Don't forget that unbelievers
- 48:10have two problems, sin and. Self believers have the problem
- 48:16of self and let me tell you this with one confession of truth.
- 48:20The issue of sin is done by faith, but it does not take one
- 48:24confession to deal with self. When it has to do with self it
- 48:27is. I die daily.
- 48:30Is someone learning now? Yes, sin.
- 48:34There's nothing you can do about it.
- 48:36It takes God to forgive you and cleanse you.
- 48:38The Bible says if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and
- 48:41the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, it
- 48:44assures us that God is faithful and just to forgive us from our
- 48:49sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
- 48:51But when? It has to do with self.
- 48:55You die daily. Because there are many versions
- 48:58of that self you will not see now until you rise to a
- 49:01particular level. So you die level by level.
- 49:04You can think you are dead until promotion comes.
- 49:07You can think you are dead until.
- 49:09Trouble comes Hallelujah, everybody said the sacrifice of
- 49:15total surrender. So we took our time to pray,
- 49:19just laying everything down. Let me tell you this, when you
- 49:22surrender everything to God, therein lies true liberty in the
- 49:27Spirit. Taking His place to maintain
- 49:34your life and maintain everything around your life
- 49:37would destroy you. You don't have that capacity.
- 49:41I believe that most medical conditions, especially that
- 49:45which is related to the mind, come from men and women who are
- 49:49trying to do the job of the Holy Spirit in their own lives.
- 49:52Can I tell you it is burdensome to try to take the place of God
- 49:55in your life? You don't know how many things
- 49:58He does. If you try to step into that
- 50:00shoes, it's too big. Eternity will not even afford
- 50:03you the opportunity to fill that space.
- 50:07So hand over everything in your life to Him.
- 50:10My life is yours. Everything.
- 50:15The children you gave me, they are yours.
- 50:17The husband you gave me is yours.
- 50:20The wife you gave me, she's yours.
- 50:23The job you gave me, it belongs to you.
- 50:26You see? That way you save yourself the
- 50:29burden. Of ownership.
- 50:31And now the burden of stewardship is the one you can't
- 50:35handle. You cannot handle the burden of
- 50:37an owner because whoever. Owns.
- 50:41Is the one who sees to it that that process or that thing
- 50:44continues to remain? You don't have the power to make
- 50:47anything remain. You can only maintain what you
- 50:49are given. Hallelujah.
- 50:52Our world is full of people who continue to plunge into
- 50:55depression and stress because in their thinking they believe that
- 50:59by worrying they can add 1 cubit to their hair.
- 51:03And Jesus took a whole chapter to talk about the burden of
- 51:06worrying. He said consider the lilies of
- 51:09the field, consider the birds, they violate a major spiritual
- 51:13law. They do not sow and they do not
- 51:15reap. Yet your heavenly Father talks
- 51:17about Solomon not even adorn like the lilies, the birds of
- 51:20the air. May the Lord help us to live
- 51:29truly surrendered lives. Many of you have given God
- 51:35everything except your finances. God can touch your heart, touch
- 51:39your praise and worship, touch everything.
- 51:40That's fine. But once he comes near your
- 51:42wallet, comes near your bank, you tell him go away, you don't
- 51:47know anything about finances. I was trained and he says OK
- 51:49that's fine. Let me tell you anything you
- 51:53drive God from, you automatically invited Satan into
- 51:56it. Anything you drive God from your
- 51:59family and say God when you were in church, I will give you your
- 52:03own place. But now at home, Satan says
- 52:05thank you. I've been looking for an
- 52:07opportunity to come. The absence of God is
- 52:11automatically the presence of evil.
- 52:17There are a few. Times in the Bible where Satan
- 52:19was invited. He's a master at barging into
- 52:24lives and destinies. Are we together?
- 52:29Surrender is a very powerful secret, powerful Kingdom secret.
- 52:35Now let's hurry up the second spiritual law.
- 52:40We'll start from there. Now I may not have the time to
- 52:44do all the teachings because I've taught some of them.
- 52:46There are just a few things that I want to achieve, and then
- 52:50we'll hopefully have the time to pray.
- 52:52Please open up your heart to learn.
- 52:55I beseech you, in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 52:57And let me tell you this, I, I don't mean to insult your
- 53:01pedigree, but I, I submit to you by the privilege of God's mercy
- 53:06that if you pay attention to the things that I teach you week in,
- 53:10week out, I give you a guarantee by the integrity of God, your
- 53:14life will be nothing short of a sign and a wonder.
- 53:17You may not look. No, no, no, no, don't say Amen.
- 53:19It's a commitment. It's a burden, responsibility
- 53:22that you have to Amen for the grace.
- 53:25Yes, you have it, but you must be committed to listen.
- 53:30Hallelujah. The truths that I share with you
- 53:34#1 they are not my ideas and invention of my mind.
- 53:39That will be evil and wicked number 2.
- 53:43They are not vain babblings and philosophies of men, believe me.
- 53:48The truths that I share with you #1 they are scriptural #2 they
- 53:53are time tested principles from scripture and in the life of
- 53:58uncommon mentors and successful people across the globe.
- 54:04You can rest in the fact that the spiritual menu you are
- 54:06receiving is not that which would destroy you.
- 54:09But it is up to you to open up your heart to receive
- 54:13holistically. Don't just cherry pick what you
- 54:17think is relevant, you see. Your own assignment is not to
- 54:22tamper with the equation. Trust the one who has led me to
- 54:28prepare that spiritual meal and take it holistically.
- 54:31Most believers, sadly, especially those who do not yet
- 54:35have results or notable results, are usually the ones who tamper
- 54:39with the equations they are given.
- 54:42Are we together? Yes.
- 54:45So your heart must be open. We're not the first to succeed.
- 54:48We're not the first to rise. We're not the first to intend to
- 54:51do something that brings glory to the name of the Lord.
- 54:54Many have gone before us. There are still others before
- 54:57us, and the Bible says to follow them.
- 54:59Who through? Faith and.
- 55:01Patience have obtained the Promise law #2 the law of mental
- 55:06transformation. Let's hurry up now.
- 55:09I'll just touch on them very briefly and then we pray.
- 55:13Whoever told you that your mind does not have a role to play as
- 55:17far as gaining mastery is concerned.
- 55:20I shared with you my own experience that probably based
- 55:24on my background and my the level of spiritual exposures at
- 55:28that time, we were not really taught When I began with God,
- 55:33the emphasis was the health of your spirit man, and I think it
- 55:37should be so in that order. Are we together?
- 55:40When you begin your spiritual pursuit, the emphasis should be
- 55:43the health. Of your spirit, man, not just
- 55:46philosophies and laws. In fact, encounters we started
- 55:50with encounters, our press towards God, our need for the
- 55:53Holy Spirit. And that remains A viable
- 55:57formula till today. Anybody I want to introduce to
- 55:59spiritual things, I'm not going to start teaching them about
- 56:02money, fame, no, no, no, in that order.
- 56:05You have to start with God. Remember the formula I taught us
- 56:07here in the beginning? God.
- 56:10It always starts with God, not principles, encounters first.
- 56:18But then when we got to a point where we needed to add other
- 56:22facets to it, I didn't have that opportunity.
- 56:25But I blessed God for the privilege of men like Doctor
- 56:31Miles Monroe. When I began to study their
- 56:33material and study the material of other people, I found out
- 56:37that my mental development and the quality of my thinking and
- 56:41my mindset had everything to do with the overall journey to an
- 56:45excelling life, unlike the narrative we had been given at
- 56:49that time. That if you were doing well
- 56:52spiritually, don't worry about what happens in your mind.
- 56:55The Holy Ghost will magically correct everything as you go.
- 56:58And there are still people who believe that fallacy till today,
- 57:02that just because you are pressing into God spiritually,
- 57:06it means automatically your mind will find a way of transforming
- 57:10itself. That's not accurate.
- 57:14Even if it's a thought that comes from well-intentioned
- 57:17people. You have a responsibility to
- 57:21work with God and understand that your mental construct has
- 57:25everything to do with the kind and the quality of life that you
- 57:30leave. I think it was Bill Johnson who
- 57:33wrote a very powerful book many years ago, The Supernatural
- 57:37Power of a Transformed Mind. And it's a book that is worth
- 57:40reading even till today. Hallelujah.
- 57:45Proverbs chapter 23 and verse 7. The Bible tells us that as a man
- 57:51thinketh in his heart interchange for mine is that so
- 57:57is he. I spend a lot of time dealing
- 58:01when when, when I have the privilege of mentoring people or
- 58:04talking to them. My primary focus is helping and
- 58:09guiding their spiritual lives. But when we're able to achieve
- 58:13that, the. Next port of call.
- 58:15Becomes to invest time and energy and quality information
- 58:19in reconstructing their belief systems.
- 58:24I've taught you in this house that most of us derive our
- 58:28thinking and our mindsets from culture.
- 58:32Primarily, the cultural experiences that we've had are
- 58:37shapers of our understanding the way we view life.
- 58:42A product of culture #2 our experiences, past and present.
- 58:49We've experienced all kinds of things, especially negative
- 58:52things, and they can build destructive memories.
- 58:57Are we? Are we together?
- 58:59And those destructive memories can affect us.
- 59:02When God is saying this, your mindset in partnership with your
- 59:06history is telling you this cannot happen in your life.
- 59:12We build our mindsets from our associations, our associations,
- 59:18friends, relatives. The implication of friendship is
- 59:24that subconsciously, when you bring people close to your life,
- 59:31what you are saying is that you are submitting yourself to their
- 59:34own ideologies too. Are we together?
- 59:38I've taught you that if there are five wise people in your
- 59:41life, you didn't count. Well, there are actually six.
- 59:45You been the 6th, and respectfully speaking, if there
- 59:48are 5 foolish people in your life, you also didn't count.
- 59:51Well, there are actually how many?
- 59:57If there are 5 prosperous people in your life, your closest
- 1:00:00circle of friends, there are 6 prosperous people.
- 1:00:03If there are 5 defeated mediocres flattering themselves
- 1:00:07competing with one another, prepared or not, you must know
- 1:00:11that you're also part of that competition.
- 1:00:14He that works with the wise, the Bible says, shall be wise
- 1:00:18himself, he says, but the companion of fools shall be
- 1:00:21destroyed. So we derive our mindsets.
- 1:00:26Medical science teaches us that children at birth or humans are
- 1:00:31programmed in two ways. Number one is genetic
- 1:00:35programming as it comes from their parents, but the second
- 1:00:39and more important programming is called environmental
- 1:00:43programming. Are we together?
- 1:00:46When man fell the first question the Lord asked him.
- 1:00:49When he said where are you? He said I heard your voice but I
- 1:00:52hid because I was naked. Next question, who told you?
- 1:00:55You have submitted your ears and your influence to another
- 1:00:59entity. The failure that you have
- 1:01:03embraced in your life came as a result of a programming.
- 1:01:08There are many people today listen.
- 1:01:10I have seen so many people talk talking people and sometimes
- 1:01:14anointed men and women of God. And sometimes when they see me
- 1:01:18do the things that God does through me, you know the most of
- 1:01:22them will rejoice. But believe me, they do not know
- 1:01:24that there is an ancient stumbling block resident within
- 1:01:28their minds that makes them believe.
- 1:01:30That it's impossible for God to use you that far.
- 1:01:35Hallelujah. There are people today the
- 1:01:39limitation to your exploits in the spirit and even towards
- 1:01:43gaining mastery has nothing to do with the demonic attack.
- 1:01:46All the spirits have been driven.
- 1:01:48Yet you are still failing. You know why?
- 1:01:50Because there is a stumbling block.
- 1:01:52There is something that has been programmed in your mind that you
- 1:01:56can't go this far. But by this teaching in the name
- 1:02:00of Jesus, that stumbling block, by the power that raised Christ
- 1:02:04from the dead, let that stumbling block depart from you.
- 1:02:08Now. When I began my work with God,
- 1:02:13my life was full of visions. And I submit to you, some of
- 1:02:17them have seen them happen already.
- 1:02:19Some are still on the way happening, and others are yet to
- 1:02:22come. But when I saw some of these
- 1:02:24visions, you can imagine at that level, starting naive in
- 1:02:28spiritual things on many grounds and seeing God show me all of
- 1:02:33these things, it was up to me now to believe God.
- 1:02:36Can you do this with me? To the nations across the globe,
- 1:02:41thank God for the mentorship of great men like Doctor Miles
- 1:02:45Monroe, who challenged me and made me know that it is
- 1:02:48possible. I told you ambitiously.
- 1:02:51I wrote a letter to several. Men of God, when I was starting
- 1:02:55in Nigeria, across Africa, I took that step of faith.
- 1:03:00I can't even remember what I wrote.
- 1:03:01I just wrote and told all of them.
- 1:03:03God called me. What do they have to say?
- 1:03:06How can you guide me? And to my greatest shock, I was
- 1:03:12called at the post office that there was 1 reply waiting for me
- 1:03:17and I went there and opened that letter and this was Doctor Miles
- 1:03:22Monroe wrote it handwritten and was encouraging me and said,
- 1:03:30listen. I said then he said I have the
- 1:03:32largest church in Bahamas by the grace of God.
- 1:03:35And still I am relevant in the political space.
- 1:03:38I am advisor to many presidents. I have written books with many
- 1:03:42bestsellers. Never, never limit yourself.
- 1:03:46And I said this is it as simple as what I'm telling you is there
- 1:03:52are some of you seated here. You have robbed us of the books
- 1:03:55that we should be reading. You have robbed us of to help
- 1:03:58them play. Somebody is already falling on
- 1:04:00that anointing there. I'm just sensing impartitions
- 1:04:06this night. Well, on a journey this night.
- 1:04:11In the Name of Jesus books, some of you, businesses, some of you,
- 1:04:17even ministries. Listen, Never, never downplay
- 1:04:25the extent of limitation that a poor or faulty mindset can bring
- 1:04:32to your destiny. Don't you think demons are the
- 1:04:34only things that stop you from going forward?
- 1:04:37Mindsets. There are times demons don't
- 1:04:39need to do anything. When they find a mindset as
- 1:04:41large as them there, they will go back because the same thing
- 1:04:44will happen to you. Hallelujah.
- 1:04:49And please look at me. We who are privileged to be in
- 1:04:55this side of the continent and this nation.
- 1:04:59Subliminally, we have been programmed as individuals and as
- 1:05:04a people to put limitations on our life.
- 1:05:08Our history itself naturally comes with propositions of
- 1:05:14limitations. I'm not talking of being blindly
- 1:05:18ambitious, I'm talking of being full of confidence.
- 1:05:22Knowing this, that he that cometh from above is above all,
- 1:05:27the Lord began to bring several layers of deliverance to my
- 1:05:31life. Number one was Deuteronomy
- 1:05:33chapter 28. From verse one and two you hear
- 1:05:35me read it often, that it shall come to pass, if thou shall
- 1:05:38diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord, to observe and to
- 1:05:43do all His commandments which I commanded this day, that the
- 1:05:49Lord will set Joshua Salman on high above.
- 1:05:53How many nations? Believe me, when I saw all
- 1:05:57nations, I believed it. By the way, this whole
- 1:06:03revelation was in one room. All nations I believe.
- 1:06:11When I started seeing visions I would never forget.
- 1:06:15I was in Port Harcourt in 2007, attending to a dear lady then
- 1:06:20who was sick. She would later pass on.
- 1:06:23And, you know, part of the people that were staying with in
- 1:06:26Port Harcourt, and I remember the teaching hospital there, it
- 1:06:32was my turn to attend them, you know, as a man of God.
- 1:06:35And I suddenly looked outside from that bed space and I was
- 1:06:41open to a vision. I saw 30.
- 1:06:43Seven flags, and that was the international headquarters of
- 1:06:46Koinonia. I saw it there.
- 1:06:48I wrote it down. I said, Lord, I believe it.
- 1:06:51We're going there. Can I tell you this, please look
- 1:06:54at me. For some of you, nothing good
- 1:06:57has come to your life because your mindset has commanded every
- 1:07:00good thing to return every good thing to the extent that if
- 1:07:06people favor you, you don't believe it because your mindset
- 1:07:09has been so deconstructed, it is against the laws of your life.
- 1:07:14For some. Can something be that easy?
- 1:07:20There are many of you here who, intellectually speaking, you are
- 1:07:24about the brightest and the finest.
- 1:07:26Yet you have fallen into this deception of Satan that you are
- 1:07:30good for nothing. Apostle, I think I'm good for
- 1:07:35nothing if I ask you why you say I don't speak very.
- 1:07:38Well. My English is this and that.
- 1:07:41Give me another reason. I come from the village, You
- 1:07:43will say my grandmother is in the village, my grandfather is
- 1:07:46in the village. I was born and bred in the
- 1:07:48village, drinking well water. What has that got to do with a
- 1:07:52glorious destiny? Can I tell you?
- 1:07:55You can choose to be in Egypt and yet be thinking Canaan.
- 1:08:00In fact, you have to think Canaan to go to Canaan right
- 1:08:07from when I was in one room. I stand by the God of heaven.
- 1:08:11I believed everything God told me.
- 1:08:13I'm not just speaking in terms of finances and all of that.
- 1:08:16No, I believed it that one day I will speak to kings and I will
- 1:08:20speak to nations. I believed it.
- 1:08:24Jeremiah 15 Say not that I am a child, but to whoever I send you
- 1:08:30to. Verse 6 You see, Jeremiah cried
- 1:08:35and said, I cannot speak, for I am a child.
- 1:08:37Verse 7 He rebuked him, and he says, Say not that I am a child,
- 1:08:41for thou shall go to all that I shall send.
- 1:08:43Thee. And who's and whatsoever I
- 1:08:46command thee, thou shalt speak for someone.
- 1:08:50God is speaking to you here that he's lifting you not just
- 1:08:54spiritually. I hope you understand the
- 1:08:56concept of Kingdom advance. Now when we teach like this, we
- 1:08:59are not just talking pulpit for some of you God has told you
- 1:09:02he's taking you to UNAU and when you think about it, you just
- 1:09:05laugh at yourself and say me I came to challenge that devil.
- 1:09:09Every mindset that will not let you rise.
- 1:09:13I'll speakings of man that kept putting you down.
- 1:09:16I cross it right now in the name of Jesus.
- 1:09:22Listen down. Unfortunately, sadly, but
- 1:09:27unfortunately. Many of us probably came from
- 1:09:30families where it was a norm to speak words of discouragement.
- 1:09:40I remember a particular person many years ago who cried.
- 1:09:44He got an award and when he called his parents, the parents
- 1:09:48said he should want to return it to the rightful owner.
- 1:09:50He got an award. True story.
- 1:09:54Return it to who? Because the father said no,
- 1:09:57this, this is my stupid and useless son.
- 1:09:59It's impossible to have that award.
- 1:10:02There's a gentleman, I think he's here in Koinonia.
- 1:10:07I usually minimize talking about things like this because
- 1:10:10eventually it's we're talking to the whole globe.
- 1:10:12But it's something that is very good.
- 1:10:14The gentleman came and met me, I think a month or two in School
- 1:10:17of Ministry, and he had designed a drone, a very intelligent, a
- 1:10:24drone system that will be such a blessing, you know, to several
- 1:10:28people and several parastatals across this nation.
- 1:10:31And he had designed also something like the engine of a
- 1:10:34vehicle or something like that. I looked at him and I held this
- 1:10:37and I said, my dear one, listen to me.
- 1:10:39No matter what happens, let me give you 2 confessions. 1 is
- 1:10:43going to be difficult to rise to the top.
- 1:10:45Go and read my listen to my message.
- 1:10:47This grace called favor, because in Nigeria you need favor, not
- 1:10:50just kill to rise #2 I told him no matter what happens, don't
- 1:10:56give up on your dreams. How many times have you seen
- 1:11:00people who produce results that were far less than you?
- 1:11:03Know what you know you could do, and yet you are forced to clap
- 1:11:05for them because their mindsets were more superior than yours,
- 1:11:09not because they had a better idea.
- 1:11:15Because of the color of your skin, because of your
- 1:11:18sociological context, You can alive allow life to reduce.
- 1:11:22You. To a point where many of us call
- 1:11:25ourselves grasshoppers. They limited themselves.
- 1:11:28God never called them grasshoppers.
- 1:11:30Satan never called them grasshoppers.
- 1:11:33They called themselves grasshoppers.
- 1:11:38It's a popular story. Many men of God have given the
- 1:11:41story of an eagle, an eaglet now they call it, that was around
- 1:11:47with. Birds.
- 1:11:48Chickens because the eagle didn't have her mother to help
- 1:11:53mentor her and let her know that look, you are meant for the
- 1:11:56skies and the hills. And he was around with the
- 1:11:59chickens all the time, eating and feeding like the chickens.
- 1:12:03And then one time he saw the mother eagle just flying and
- 1:12:07soaring around and noticed that look.
- 1:12:10My, my, my, my design is similar to that one flying, not this
- 1:12:17ones there. And that the eaglet just tried
- 1:12:19to take a step of faith and found out that she was flying
- 1:12:23sometimes. Let me tell you this one of the
- 1:12:26way God delivers you listen, let me tell you how God delivers men
- 1:12:29from negative mindset. He would take you out of the
- 1:12:32environment that caused it for a long time is is a system of
- 1:12:37quarantine. He would take you away from the
- 1:12:39naysayers and the negative circles.
- 1:12:43Many of you right now. If you want to do something
- 1:12:46good, the moment you see your classmates or the moment you see
- 1:12:49people who used to know you, they will laugh at you and even
- 1:12:51you. So God will take you to a place
- 1:12:54where nobody knows you. You now see the reason why it He
- 1:12:58said kill everybody in Jericho, only one woman left rehab.
- 1:13:02Do you know why? Because her job there was a
- 1:13:05prostitute and God was about to change her life.
- 1:13:08If there was one person who knew her history, he will be the
- 1:13:11person who will stop her later on.
- 1:13:14Destroy everybody. I'm about to give this woman a
- 1:13:16new beginning so that they don't see her and tell the future
- 1:13:20husband that this one, you don't know who this one is.
- 1:13:23I was a customer. So sometimes, hear me, I'm
- 1:13:28speaking prophetically to some of you because there are some of
- 1:13:31you for God to help you, you will have to take you out of
- 1:13:34that environment, that negative environment where you keep
- 1:13:38receiving, I'll speakings and quarantine you in a spiritual
- 1:13:43environment like this where you keep hearing fat filled words.
- 1:13:48Six months under this kind of atmosphere and all that is left
- 1:13:51in your destiny is fire, burns every mediocrity out of your
- 1:13:57life. When the Lord sent me to Abuja,
- 1:14:05I've told you, at the risk of sounding proud, forgive me if I
- 1:14:08do. All you think I do is to the
- 1:14:10glory of God when I was coming and you know, I've heard a lot
- 1:14:14of things about ministry in Abuja and with all due respect
- 1:14:17and honor to all who serve the Lord, you know, faithfully in
- 1:14:20this city. When I came I looked at the
- 1:14:22place and I was praying and the Holy Spirit told me to go and
- 1:14:25buy the map. And I I.
- 1:14:28Asked them to get me the map of Abuja, I looked at it and I
- 1:14:30looked at everything in the midst of my prayer.
- 1:14:33And I said this respectfully, not not to communicate pride.
- 1:14:37The city became small. Literally it just became small.
- 1:14:44You know, like you are standing and you are looking at children
- 1:14:46playing and I said no, come on, this is how do you think God is
- 1:14:51going to send you to the nations with this mindset?
- 1:14:55How do you arrive at another man's land and yet do what God
- 1:14:58says you should do? Dear businessman, how do you
- 1:15:01think your conglomerate will go so far?
- 1:15:03What guarantee do you have that people will be interested in
- 1:15:06you? They limited God by saying they
- 1:15:11limited God by saying some of you from your background you
- 1:15:17have never seen sufficiency. Even if the school fees is 2000,
- 1:15:21Mama will bring 15, the brother will bring this, they will now
- 1:15:25beg you know I'm not you've not seen.
- 1:15:27So when God speaks to you and say you, it will get to a point
- 1:15:30where you will be given to nations.
- 1:15:32It's difficult for you to conceive it, but I'm here to
- 1:15:36speak to someone. No matter what your mindset is
- 1:15:39saying now, what God says about you must remain Hallelujah.
- 1:15:53Let me encourage you. See there is no need living a
- 1:15:57fake life. Don't fake what can be real.
- 1:16:02Don't have a low level thinking. And then you cover it with good
- 1:16:08clothes, cover it with good shoes, cover it with a borrowed
- 1:16:12car. Leave all those things.
- 1:16:14Your first assignment after your encounter with the Holy Spirit
- 1:16:18is to walk on your mind from where thou art.
- 1:16:21Lift your eyes. Your legs may not go there, but
- 1:16:24your eyes can go. Listen.
- 1:16:27Do you know why I'm speaking to you now about this?
- 1:16:30There are some of you. As this service is ongoing, the
- 1:16:33Holy Spirit is reminding you. Remember what I told you in
- 1:16:362013? By now would have been working
- 1:16:39in it. But your fear, your fear of
- 1:16:41this, You can. I said start the company.
- 1:16:44You've not even registered it till now.
- 1:16:46I told you I will use you mightily.
- 1:16:48You said you are a stamara. I brought Aaron to you.
- 1:16:51You still said Aaron is not intelligent.
- 1:16:53What do you want? There is nothing you cannot do.
- 1:17:12This is what I believe. If you have said it, then you
- 1:17:27will. You have a track record of
- 1:17:30keeping your work. You're not about to stop.
- 1:17:41Hear me, listen to me. You may trek after service to go
- 1:17:46back home. Trek with honor while your mind
- 1:17:49is buying the cars. There may be 5 members in the
- 1:17:56church now. Don't worry, you don't need to
- 1:17:58fake figures and live a fake life is unnecessary.
- 1:18:01While you are there, let your mindset be in that crusade
- 1:18:04ground winning souls in their multitudes for Jesus.
- 1:18:08Dear Esther, you may be in Sushan, but let your mind be in
- 1:18:12the palace. Dear Joseph, you may be in
- 1:18:17prison, but let your mind sit you on the throne.
- 1:18:26Hallelujah. Now listen to me.
- 1:18:30There are many of you who do not have the mental strength to
- 1:18:35survive the seasons of small beginning.
- 1:18:38Your minds are too fragile. Your obsession for endorsement
- 1:18:42and reaffirmation will not allow you to move through the tides of
- 1:18:46negative speaking till you become a champion.
- 1:18:49Nobody claps for you when you are starting the only club for
- 1:18:53champions. You are going to move while
- 1:18:55people speak. You are going to move while
- 1:18:57people gossip. You are going to move while
- 1:18:59people prophecy and say watch. Nothing will happen.
- 1:19:02The stamina comes from your spirit but is reflected through
- 1:19:06your mind. High mental strength that if
- 1:19:14somebody tells you, I hope you know you will fail, tell them.
- 1:19:18Be patient. I will answer you five years
- 1:19:20later and you have that stamina. Listen, unfortunately, today we
- 1:19:25live in a social media world where people are under so much
- 1:19:29obsession to be right. Nobody wants to.
- 1:19:33No, champions are not like that. They are focused and determined.
- 1:19:40The smoke that rises from the celebration of your result is an
- 1:19:43answer to the naysayers. You just keep moving, Apostle.
- 1:19:49I never saw my father build a house.
- 1:19:52Right now, I'm 41, I'm 45. Is there hope for me?
- 1:19:56It is not lack of cement or blocks or concrete.
- 1:19:59I assure you the house has not been built here.
- 1:20:04You have received a speaking that I'm in Abuja and we are
- 1:20:08here to manage. We're here to live defeated
- 1:20:10lives. Do you know there are people?
- 1:20:14Who? It is not the government that
- 1:20:15has stratified them. They stratified themselves as
- 1:20:18soon as they stepped into Abuja. Even if they have 100,000 in the
- 1:20:22account and they are late to take a boat or Uber, they will
- 1:20:26feel. Guilty, they say.
- 1:20:27No, no, no. Do you know what we are not for?
- 1:20:29It's not for ABBA. You can start as a carpenter's
- 1:20:39son. But there was a time they
- 1:20:42stopped calling Jesus carpenter's son.
- 1:20:45Find out what happened. That the word Carpenter son or
- 1:20:48the expression stopped. Jesus never said don't call me
- 1:20:51Carpenter son again. He did something else and they
- 1:20:54say you are crystals now the anointed and the Bible says let
- 1:20:59this mind be in you. Listen, I'm not teaching you to
- 1:21:02fuel loss. You know, let me balance it.
- 1:21:05There are people who when you hear this kind of teaching,
- 1:21:07because you have, you are determined to not even be
- 1:21:09spiritual in the 1st place. When you hear these kinds of
- 1:21:12teachings, it agrees with the desire for carnality and just a
- 1:21:17rat race of materialism. That's not what I'm teaching.
- 1:21:20I'm teaching you a healthy confidence that is derived from
- 1:21:24who you are in Christ. Let them laugh at you.
- 1:21:27I know that you may have limitation in speech, but your
- 1:21:30products will do the correct one of your English.
- 1:21:35Can I tell you, don't fall for this, this thing that society
- 1:21:42tries to bring, bring you down? What tribe by you?
- 1:21:45What name are you? You are not very beautiful, you
- 1:21:47are not very handsome. And people continue to kill
- 1:21:50themselves day and night. I have learned, and I teach the
- 1:21:55School of Ministry students every year, that everybody on
- 1:22:00earth. It is a summation of assets and
- 1:22:02liabilities. But can I tell you one truth?
- 1:22:05Everything you acknowledge magnifies, including the
- 1:22:09negative aspects of your life. Philemon one and verse 6.
- 1:22:14It says that the communication of your faith might be
- 1:22:17effectual. Philemon not Philippians
- 1:22:21Philemon 16. The communication of your faith
- 1:22:25might become effectual. By the acknowledging of every
- 1:22:29good thing which is in you, in Christ.
- 1:22:31There are some things I have received in my mind.
- 1:22:34They can't be undone. Number one, I cannot fail.
- 1:22:39Honestly is not pride. Forgive me, I have indoctrinated
- 1:22:43myself by the Spirit. If there are five people who
- 1:22:50succeed on earth, I will start praying for the remaining 4
- 1:22:58because one position for sure has been taken #2 I do not
- 1:23:05believe any power in existence can take my life before my time.
- 1:23:10Is a is is is a Don't listen. Your destiny is your
- 1:23:14responsibility. Forget whatever has happened
- 1:23:16around your life #3 I believe that I will not be.
- 1:23:22I waved poverty goodbye and it waved me back.
- 1:23:28When you wave somebody back, you have agreed.
- 1:23:30Bye bye. I believe in the anointing of
- 1:23:36the Holy Spirit upon my life. I said this with every sense of
- 1:23:39humility you see. So the pressure to show you
- 1:23:45anointed is not there. The walks will always speak.
- 1:23:50Listen. I know that I've taught you on
- 1:23:52several teachings here about the mind, but there's something I
- 1:23:57want to do to you tonight. Don't think because you come
- 1:24:01from a rich family, it means your mindset has been corrected.
- 1:24:04No, your mindset just has an advantage to be adjusted fast.
- 1:24:08But you can still have a depressed mindset even when you
- 1:24:11are in the palace. An example, Haman Haman Herman
- 1:24:20wanted power so much. His mindset taught him that you
- 1:24:24must kill everybody. There are two ways to rise.
- 1:24:27Climb a ladder or cut the head of everybody higher than you.
- 1:24:30Herman chose the other way. Another person's success is not
- 1:24:37why you are failing. The sky is available for every
- 1:24:40champion. Please hear me, my dear brothers
- 1:24:45and sisters, there are many of you here who are about to start
- 1:24:48ministry. Don't be intimidated, just do
- 1:24:53things right. Be inspired, be challenged, be
- 1:24:57provoked, but don't let anybody intimidate you.
- 1:25:01You will make mistakes, you will learn on the job.
- 1:25:03Submit yourself to learning. But as far as.
- 1:25:07Downplaying the grace of God upon your life is concerned.
- 1:25:10Don't let anybody do that. If you are in ministry from
- 1:25:16whatever village or from anywhere, God can use you and He
- 1:25:20can use you at a global scale. Business people listen, rise out
- 1:25:24of the realm of subsistence thinking and begin to think
- 1:25:27globally. Are we together?
- 1:25:36The law of mental transformation.
- 1:25:39Please sit down. We have to hurry up.
- 1:25:41Let me jump to the third. But I hope you got what I said.
- 1:25:44In fact, we should not just jump like that.
- 1:25:46Lay your hands on your head and in the name of Jesus, 'cause
- 1:25:49every negative thinking that has kept you down, that is
- 1:25:53inconsistent with the Word of God commanded you.
- 1:25:56This is the season where you must leave.
- 1:25:58Somebody's praying. You are laying your hands on
- 1:26:01your head prophetically and you are declaring.
- 1:26:04My mindset will be derived from the integrity of Scripture.
- 1:26:11Everything the Word of God has said I believe it may not
- 1:26:15manifest now, but it surely will manifest.
- 1:26:22Hallelujah. Please sit down so when church
- 1:26:28is. Over if you happen to be
- 1:26:30trekking down the road and you see people passing SU VS and all
- 1:26:34kinds of beautiful cars, don't start insulting people out of
- 1:26:37anger and say all this. Just thank Him because your mind
- 1:26:42is also driving. Are we together?
- 1:26:47When you see a man of God highly anointed that God is using
- 1:26:50greatly, don't just look for excuses to downplay what God is
- 1:26:53doing because you feel insecured.
- 1:26:56No know that that dimension is also a possibility, not just
- 1:27:00with your spirit alone, but your mind.
- 1:27:03When you see a prosperous person, don't just get angry
- 1:27:05because it reminds you of the things you have not done.
- 1:27:08Be patient and know that if God did it for so, so, so and so, He
- 1:27:12will also do it for me. Hallelujah, praise the name of
- 1:27:17the Lord. I've taught you here that the
- 1:27:19difference between you and anybody you admire, the
- 1:27:23difference between you and anybody you admire, is #1 the
- 1:27:28quality of information that that person has access to.
- 1:27:33The quality. The first distinguisher of men
- 1:27:38is the quality of the information, primarily spiritual
- 1:27:43information. But then in addition, all these
- 1:27:45other informations, the laws #2 the relationships that that
- 1:27:51person has to honor that heightened level of
- 1:27:54enlightenment, because be fruitful also means be
- 1:27:57relational. And then #3 the kind and the
- 1:28:01level of grace that is at work in that person's life.
- 1:28:04This is what separates people in together.
- 1:28:10Stop looking down on yourself. Let me preach to you.
- 1:28:14Stop looking down on yourself. Allow the naysayers talk, but I
- 1:28:20want you to believe this is not the first time he's lifting
- 1:28:23people. This is not the first time he's
- 1:28:27prospering people, no. This is not the first time he's
- 1:28:31making a man of God, a prophet, an apostle, an evangelist out of
- 1:28:35ordinary people. He's a master at it.
- 1:28:38This is not the first time he's lifting a nobody to become a
- 1:28:43phenomenon. This is not the first time this
- 1:28:46is what he can do. Creator of the universe, what
- 1:28:57can't you do? What can't you do?
- 1:29:09Sila, think about what you just sank.
- 1:29:12If he created the universe, what is it about your destiny he
- 1:29:15cannot create? You're not the first to come to
- 1:29:18Abuja. You're not the first to do
- 1:29:20ministry. You're not the first to desire
- 1:29:22heightened levels of exploits. It is within His power and in
- 1:29:27the name of Jesus. In this season, by the quality
- 1:29:31of your mental transformation, you are breaking to the left,
- 1:29:34You are breaking to the right to the point that people will come
- 1:29:39when they hear that you are the one that God has made you
- 1:29:42steward over that organization and the rest, they would doubt
- 1:29:45it till they see you. When did Saul become a prophet?
- 1:29:50And you would tell them by the Spirit of God, he was a prophet
- 1:29:53many years ago. You are only seeing the
- 1:29:55manifestation. There is nothing.
- 1:29:58God has told me that I cannot believe him, for I learned this
- 1:30:03from God's servant, Bishop David Oedipo.
- 1:30:06He said he can't believe God for anything.
- 1:30:08For those of you who think you have seen what this ministry has
- 1:30:11done, we're only one step out of The Cave.
- 1:30:14You keep watching. You will see the wonder walking
- 1:30:17power of the God of heaven. At the risk of sounding
- 1:30:22arrogant, I will say it again. Watch The Wonder Walking Power.
- 1:30:32The law of mental transformation.
- 1:30:35Gentleman, build your house here, build a company here,
- 1:30:42build the ministry with the Holy Spirit here.
- 1:30:46What kind of man of God do you see yourself becoming as
- 1:30:50revealed to you by the Spirit? Translate that reality here.
- 1:30:54This is the womb of your destiny.
- 1:30:58Don't expect delivery when there is no pregnancy, when there is
- 1:31:01no conception. This is when the miracle.
- 1:31:04Happens. The Word of God is that seed.
- 1:31:08But let it find a resting place in your mind and then give it
- 1:31:12time in. As you cry, you continue and
- 1:31:18one. Day your profiting will appear
- 1:31:21unto all, and they who once laughed at you will now come to
- 1:31:25celebrate you, and they will tell you the baby in the Manger
- 1:31:29is now having a triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
- 1:31:32You will not always. Remain a baby in a Manger.
- 1:31:34Ladies and gentlemen. I've always said your time
- 1:31:40tonight. You can't imagine how much we
- 1:31:44have. Let's go to the next law.
- 1:31:46Are you learning this now? Do you know why I'm teaching you
- 1:31:49this? I'm teaching you again because I
- 1:31:51want you to gain mastery. The series is about gaining
- 1:31:54mastery so that with a surgeon's precision, you can diagnose what
- 1:31:58is wrong with men around your life and and not if you want to
- 1:32:02help people spiritually, you literally can create a routine
- 1:32:06from failure to success like a bridge and connect the person.
- 1:32:11For the average person who has been in church for three, 4-5
- 1:32:15years, did you know that if they hand over a new believer to you
- 1:32:19and they say raise this person and follow that person up, most
- 1:32:22believers don't know what to do. At best, those, yeah, you feel
- 1:32:25the Holy Ghost. No, go for prayer department
- 1:32:27meeting on Tuesday and discuss the remaining there.
- 1:32:30And most believers are at a loss as to how to mature and mentor
- 1:32:34and grow and build people. And if you are a leader here,
- 1:32:38you need to learn this. Aside from being a spiritual
- 1:32:41leader, you will be a leader in business, in politics.
- 1:32:44You must know how to build people.
- 1:32:46Building people. There is a skill, there is a
- 1:32:49science to building people. Mental transformation.
- 1:32:55Bring a weak and defeated people like the men of David in The
- 1:33:00Cave of Adulam. Submit them to a visionary
- 1:33:03leader like David and he will not only change their names, he
- 1:33:07will change their destinies. Few years later they will be
- 1:33:10called the mighty men of David. The Bible says one held a sword
- 1:33:14and fought standing in one position.
- 1:33:16He killed 800 people and the sword would not leave his hand.
- 1:33:20That's mastery. Hallelujah.
- 1:33:28One of the blessings of mastery is that the more you become a
- 1:33:32master at anything, fear goes. Fear is proof that you have not
- 1:33:38gained hold of certain laws spiritually and physically.
- 1:33:44There are those who drive this heavy duty trucks and you would
- 1:33:48think because they are driving, they should be afraid.
- 1:33:51You will see a tiny man and you hop, you know, into that truck
- 1:33:55and you will see him maneuver that truck with mastery.
- 1:33:59And yet you see a learner struggling, wondering whether
- 1:34:02the hell in his car or her car has fallen and seeing people
- 1:34:06just shaking their heads and just passing while he's he's
- 1:34:09driving and he doesn't even know if he's moving or not.
- 1:34:17Law #3 the law of value and contribution Pay attention was
- 1:34:23striving for mastery the law of value and contribution your
- 1:34:31relevance in life. Will always be a reflection.
- 1:34:36Your relevance in the eyes of your world will always be a
- 1:34:41reflection of your value and your contribution.
- 1:34:47Nobody will applaud you for doing nothing.
- 1:34:49Ladies and gentlemen, your relevance as far as living in
- 1:34:54this cosmos is concerned, whether in ministry, in
- 1:34:57business, in politics, in whatever field of endeavor, it
- 1:35:01will be a measure of your value and your contribution.
- 1:35:06Save value. Please say it again.
- 1:35:08Save value, say contribution. Save value, say contribution.
- 1:35:15Please look up when you are sick, who do you need in your
- 1:35:18life? A doctor?
- 1:35:20Is that true? When you want to build a house,
- 1:35:25you need an architect, am I right?
- 1:35:27When you want to solve your security concerns, you need a
- 1:35:30security agent until your. Life can match a problem and
- 1:35:37solve it. There is no reason why people
- 1:35:40will consider you necessary in their lives.
- 1:35:43Don't downplay the law of value and contribution.
- 1:35:51Those in ministry especially. Most people think they are in
- 1:35:55ministry and people are placing a demand on them just because
- 1:35:58they are preaching Jesus Christ. From a spiritual standpoint,
- 1:36:01yes, but from a standpoint of success, from a standpoint of,
- 1:36:06of, of impact and exploits, it is because you are making you
- 1:36:11are making a healthy contribution.
- 1:36:14A man of God is part of the the systems put in place.
- 1:36:20Are we together now to help people in matters of faith?
- 1:36:24And you are a contributor to nation building, so you're not a
- 1:36:27nuisance to civilization. Let me tell you this, if nobody
- 1:36:34is following you and placing a demand upon your life, it is a
- 1:36:39report card to you that your value and your contribution is
- 1:36:43low or not. There every service,
- 1:36:55respectfully speaking, I leave this place only on a few times,
- 1:37:00but most times we we stay into the morning because after the
- 1:37:04service there are still other things you're doing counseling,
- 1:37:07praying and doing some other things.
- 1:37:09And no matter how you want to cut it, the demand and the needs
- 1:37:12of the people is just overwhelming.
- 1:37:14And you know that God has embraced you to solve that
- 1:37:17problem. Can I tell you this?
- 1:37:19When all men seek for you, it is because there's something you
- 1:37:23are. Carrying that has now been
- 1:37:24revealed. Look how Doctor Miles describes
- 1:37:29it so excellently. A mango tree does not have a
- 1:37:33sign board that brings people to it.
- 1:37:35A mango tree does not have a worship team that charges the
- 1:37:38atmosphere. A mango tree does not have
- 1:37:41oshas. All the mango tree does is to
- 1:37:44begin to produce mangoes. And remember, when it is
- 1:37:48boarding and doing all of these things, people can pass.
- 1:37:51But give it a few months, people will stand there in response to
- 1:37:55the the quality juicy fruits on that tree.
- 1:37:59Human beings who one neglect, who once neglected that tree,
- 1:38:02can now climb the tree. Look how people come early in
- 1:38:06the morning on a windy day to to pick the mangoes around the
- 1:38:10ground. Can I tell you there is an
- 1:38:12explanation to your loneliness? I don't mean to play with your
- 1:38:16emotions, but for as long as you believe that people will be
- 1:38:19indefinitely committed to you without providing any notable
- 1:38:24value and contribution, you are dreaming.
- 1:38:26Think again. Nobody will follow you and
- 1:38:31invest into your life and destiny indefinitely except and
- 1:38:36unless at the instance of value ever increasing value and
- 1:38:41contribution. Men of God, let's listen
- 1:38:46carefully. It will take more than just
- 1:38:48evangelism to bring people make sure where they are coming to is
- 1:38:52prepared enough, prepared through the quality of sound
- 1:38:56teaching, prepared through the demonstration of the Spirit to
- 1:38:59solve real life problems. Is someone learning now?
- 1:39:06How many of you know that there were businesses that were in
- 1:39:08existence 10 years ago and they've been edged out because
- 1:39:12they did not develop themselves to match the current realities
- 1:39:16that are in today's world? Loneliness has an explanation.
- 1:39:20When you are left alone, it doesn't mean people hate you.
- 1:39:23Is that they are determined to solve their problems and they
- 1:39:26have learned by experience that you don't intend to be part of
- 1:39:29that solution. So they will respectfully create
- 1:39:32a group and keep you there. There are many of you who have
- 1:39:37maybe restrooms or you know, rooms in especially in
- 1:39:40facilities like this. And sometimes they can put a
- 1:39:43little card there out of service.
- 1:39:47Out of service means it has potential to be used, but right
- 1:39:50now you cannot use it. Some of you, that's what you
- 1:39:53have written is all over you as you move around.
- 1:39:56I am out of service. I can't contribute anything to
- 1:39:59your life. There are men of God,
- 1:40:04respectfully, who are carrying that placard.
- 1:40:07I want to serve Jesus, but I've not built my value, the
- 1:40:12spiritual content of my value, to be able to serve God's people
- 1:40:17with excellence and precision, translating their desires into a
- 1:40:24Christian experience that is fruitful.
- 1:40:31How do you know you are making definite contributions?
- 1:40:35Because the demand will continue for as long as you remain
- 1:40:39valuable. Ladies and gentlemen, have you
- 1:40:41seen some of you who watch Nat Joe Wild?
- 1:40:44The the the. The National Geographic Channel,
- 1:40:47you find out that sometimes they show all of these videos of, you
- 1:40:49know, the animal Kingdom and they come to the Riverside to
- 1:40:53take water. Once they are full, sometimes
- 1:40:56they ignore no the river and the river never moves to look for
- 1:40:59them. The river is confident enough to
- 1:41:01know that sooner or later. They will come back.
- 1:41:09Man of God, who told you there are too many men of God in
- 1:41:12Nigeria? You are just not anointed
- 1:41:14enough. You've not just sat down to
- 1:41:18build capacity enough, not from a competitive standpoint.
- 1:41:22You have not branded your impact with such value and
- 1:41:25contribution. Can I tell you when you become
- 1:41:28valuable, those who need you will find you.
- 1:41:35Man of God who told you or I said man of God, businessman who
- 1:41:39told you there are enough malls in Abuja or Abuja, People die.
- 1:41:43When I hear people say there are too many people doing this, I
- 1:41:45said no. In every industry there are
- 1:41:48those who are the highest levels.
- 1:41:53Are we together? Yeah, last time I checked there
- 1:41:57about 3.6 people, I'm sure a lot more than that in Abuja for
- 1:42:02instance. Let's use our city, every one of
- 1:42:05these people at least, even if they are fasting, they still
- 1:42:08break. Can I tell you this?
- 1:42:15Your value must be able to match the level of hunger and test
- 1:42:20that people have. You are not at liberty to just
- 1:42:24create any kind of value, refined or not.
- 1:42:27Your value must be refined if you are a man of God.
- 1:42:30It's time to go back and stay with the Holy Spirit.
- 1:42:33Don't just rush and say I have what to offer.
- 1:42:36You preach 2 weeks and you don't have anything to say again.
- 1:42:39The people may not fight you but they, the demons attacking them
- 1:42:42are real. The confusion in their lives is
- 1:42:44not. They are not.
- 1:42:45They are not freaking these things.
- 1:42:47They will leave you and look for genuine solutions.
- 1:42:52Are you getting what I'm saying now?
- 1:42:53This is very powerful. Do you know that there are there
- 1:42:59are businesses in this in this nation?
- 1:43:02Look at banks for instance, because of the role that they
- 1:43:05play in helping the economy of territories.
- 1:43:08It does not matter what location they establish the bank, you
- 1:43:14will always find people there because there is money inside.
- 1:43:20Respectfully, I would always give this story of answers.
- 1:43:25I'm not not not to stare up. I'm a preacher.
- 1:43:27But then let me just during the answers, you know, people were.
- 1:43:32Sadly, it's not, it's not what I will encourage, but people were,
- 1:43:36you know, jumping and boggling storehouses.
- 1:43:40Do you know that there was no storehouse that said I am here.
- 1:43:43There is rice inside me how people invented the skill to
- 1:43:48discern this discernment that looks very hard.
- 1:43:51During that answers, people found out and we didn't see
- 1:43:55where the ladder was, but there were people at the top because
- 1:44:00some of the storehouses were hidden in places that you should
- 1:44:04not suspect that there's anything there.
- 1:44:08Bikemen were following both sides of the roads, carrying
- 1:44:12people, and they were laughing. People were helping one another,
- 1:44:18even those who never knew themselves.
- 1:44:21Now let me ask you a question. Hold on, imagine that your life
- 1:44:24becomes like that warehouse. Let me tell you, they will find
- 1:44:28you anywhere you are. Don't tell me it's because I'm
- 1:44:31in Lube. Don't tell me it's because I'm
- 1:44:33in another city. No, when your value is high.
- 1:44:36Carriage and anointing. And see what God does.
- 1:44:41Genuine grace to teach and build people.
- 1:44:44Doesn't matter whether you're in America when it has to do with
- 1:44:47spiritual things, they sustain equal value everywhere.
- 1:44:53Apostle, how can I know that people will come to my store?
- 1:44:57Show me what you are doing there.
- 1:45:01Do you not know that excellence is a language?
- 1:45:03There are those who know how to speak it.
- 1:45:05If I speak Yoruba now and I ask you to stand in Yoruba, those of
- 1:45:09you who are Yoruba people will stand.
- 1:45:11Those who are not Yoruba people will be at a loss.
- 1:45:13Excellence is a language, there are people who know how to speak
- 1:45:16it. Competence is a language, there
- 1:45:20are people who know how to speak it.
- 1:45:22Skill is a language. The law of value and
- 1:45:27contribution. Am I wasting your time tonight?
- 1:45:30Listen, I deliver you by the Spirit of God from a local
- 1:45:34champion mentality. At least I am better than this
- 1:45:40one. At least I am better than this
- 1:45:42one. No, your clientele is the whole
- 1:45:47world. You are serving the power and
- 1:45:50the grace of God. If you are a prophet, don't sit
- 1:45:53down and be a prophet where they will suspect you and even those
- 1:45:57sent to hold your hand are afraid of you because of how
- 1:46:00number one, you have not even got any clear.
- 1:46:03You've not done your homework. You are a man of God.
- 1:46:05God grants you grace to be a revelator of scripture.
- 1:46:08Stay with scripture. Don't just say as the Spirit
- 1:46:11leads, submit yourself to to doctrine.
- 1:46:14Learn doctrine. We must fight incompetence.
- 1:46:22Skill and contribution is the cure to this life of land and
- 1:46:26whatever it is. Can I tell you when you become
- 1:46:30an active contributor to the lives and the destinies of
- 1:46:33people, I give you this as a guarantee they will forgive
- 1:46:38many, many limitations in your life to pursue the value that
- 1:46:42you have. Those days when we started,
- 1:46:46there was only audio. Those of you who have followed
- 1:46:48the ministry for a long time, God gave an instruction.
- 1:46:51We didn't put any video except videos that were, except videos
- 1:46:56that were maybe external ministrations.
- 1:46:58And people would sit down and listen to the videos and
- 1:47:02sometimes they would listen to the sound quality, you know, may
- 1:47:05not be the best and yet they will enjoy because of the value
- 1:47:09that they know they would find there.
- 1:47:12It was Bishop David Oedeko, who's who, who said that when
- 1:47:15they started in Kaduna, people were not coming.
- 1:47:19And after praying and doing all of these things, God gave him a
- 1:47:22few things. And among the many things God
- 1:47:24told him is that when you bring quality life, applicable
- 1:47:29teachings, people will come and they will stay like a grass,
- 1:47:33like the when animals come, when they find a pasture, they stay
- 1:47:38and learn. I'm just using ministry as an
- 1:47:40example, but it applies to every area.
- 1:47:44You're a music minister. Don't sing as your relatives
- 1:47:47will clap for you no matter how you sound because they love you.
- 1:47:50But you must be disciplined to tell yourself if I desire to
- 1:47:54sing his praises to the nations, then I must be competent.
- 1:47:58Can I tell you this? When you are pressing for
- 1:48:00competence, don't let your tears deceive you.
- 1:48:03You may cry, but continue value and contribution.
- 1:48:10I made-up my mind that for as long as I live, I will never
- 1:48:14stand before God's people to waste their time teaching
- 1:48:17nonsense and just wasting the precious time of God's people.
- 1:48:20Hear me, some of you, The reason why you've not been promoted
- 1:48:24take away all kinds of biases. I've been there three years,
- 1:48:27you've been there three years, but you have not shown your
- 1:48:30superiors that you have good value enough for your promotion
- 1:48:34to be worthwhile. A lot of Christians, yes, I know
- 1:48:40that there might be biases of religion and culture and all of
- 1:48:43that. But let me tell you sincerely,
- 1:48:45if you want to strive for mastery, please obtain grace
- 1:48:49from God to be valuable. Obtain grace from God to be
- 1:48:53valuable. Obtain grace from God to be a
- 1:48:56contributor to the lives and the destinies of people.
- 1:49:01Man of God, by the time God uses you to bring order to the life
- 1:49:06of a confused person, salvation to an unsaved person,
- 1:49:10transformation to an ignorant believer, empowerment to a
- 1:49:15transformed believer, and you release the people like the
- 1:49:18foxes of Samson, it is impossible.
- 1:49:20For you to stand and remain lonely, not in the face of
- 1:49:23value. I once had a vision many years
- 1:49:28ago. And in that vision, I think I've
- 1:49:30shared it here maybe once at least I was.
- 1:49:34There was a long queue of people and I was serving them bread.
- 1:49:39And the bread, the bread was filled with honey.
- 1:49:42It was the honey was even dripping.
- 1:49:44And I was not the one making the bread.
- 1:49:46I was just receiving it from a machine and the machine never
- 1:49:50stopped making the bread. The bread will come out with
- 1:49:53honey and somebody will taste of it and run and go and call his
- 1:49:56relatives and say come, they are sharing something here.
- 1:49:59And people, some of the people who took it will go back and
- 1:50:02join the queue. And for some reason they were
- 1:50:04looking at me. They couldn't see the machine
- 1:50:07that was producing the bread and honey.
- 1:50:09It was mixing it already. I was just receiving it and
- 1:50:12giving them. When I woke up, I said I found
- 1:50:14the key. I found the key.
- 1:50:19It will work in Abuja, it will work in London, it will work in
- 1:50:23US, it will work at the Caribbeans.
- 1:50:25Provided it is a platform for value, it will work.
- 1:50:29Let me prophecy to you that in the name of Jesus, where you
- 1:50:32have been neglected because of your inability to have
- 1:50:36structured your life to provide value, in the name of Jesus, men
- 1:50:41will look for you, Things will look for you, nobles will look
- 1:50:46for you in the name, Name of Jesus Christ.
- 1:50:52Hallelujah. Please sit down.
- 1:50:57Jesus had the boldness. Jesus the humble.
- 1:51:03Jesus the meek and lowly, had the audacity to make a very
- 1:51:08daring statement. Here's what he said.
- 1:51:10I am the way I am that valuable. He said.
- 1:51:15I am the truth, and he said I am the life.
- 1:51:19Then he went further to say, No man come back to the father
- 1:51:24except by me. You want to rouse the father,
- 1:51:29Use every other method you will see.
- 1:51:31Come back here. Joseph said, Let the king look
- 1:51:34for a man who is discreet and wise.
- 1:51:37It was a polite way of saying, King, I dare you.
- 1:51:41Where were all the people when I was in the prison?
- 1:51:43Sat round and see if you'll find them.
- 1:51:45Can I tell you this? When God wants to lift you back,
- 1:51:48he energizes you to walk on your value and contribution.
- 1:51:52And when he sees that you have done your assignment, that
- 1:51:55finger will lift you in a way that nobody will be able to come
- 1:51:59within that vicinity. That's how God honors men and
- 1:52:02that's what God is doing for someone.
- 1:52:05When it was time for God to leave Joseph, he shot the
- 1:52:09heavens over the sorceress and it was now Joseph's time to
- 1:52:12arise and shine. Please fight incompetence and do
- 1:52:20not just be a receiver, receiver, receiver.
- 1:52:24When I talk of being valuable, I'm not just talking of doing
- 1:52:27things. You can be valuable by being a
- 1:52:31blessing, whether through words, whether through actions, whether
- 1:52:35through whatever it is. Those days when I used to take,
- 1:52:43you know, then it was not Uber, it was not Bolt.
- 1:52:49You know, you can just take a cab, just call it cab.
- 1:52:52There was a particular driver. That man was so neat.
- 1:52:55He used to drive me to the airport.
- 1:52:58I would save his number and call him.
- 1:53:00If he told me he was busy I would tell him please just
- 1:53:03release whoever, I will pay you double for that amount.
- 1:53:06He was so neat. Very excellent driver.
- 1:53:10Careful, cautious, trustworthy. You could send him to go and
- 1:53:15pick someone for you. Now there were many drivers what
- 1:53:18I just loved and and and we had meaningful discussions on our
- 1:53:22way to the to the airport. When he found out I was a man of
- 1:53:25God. True story.
- 1:53:26The next time I came, I noticed he was playing.
- 1:53:28I think it was done when or something he had gone to get his
- 1:53:32CD or something like at least his own contribution.
- 1:53:43Can I tell you this? Don't be angry and say people
- 1:53:46don't love me. Ask yourself what am I bringing
- 1:53:49to the table? The table of greatness has many
- 1:53:53seats, but the rule is you don't sit down with an empty hand.
- 1:53:56You first submit what you are bringing.
- 1:53:59It is vetted by the intelligence of God.
- 1:54:01If it will serve and bless people sufficiently with honor,
- 1:54:05you are granted a seat here. Otherwise you will be driven
- 1:54:08back to go and walk on yourself. Can I tell you, I am sorry, but
- 1:54:12I have to tell you this. There are many believers who
- 1:54:14will still inherit shame in the days to come.
- 1:54:17Do you know why? Because many people keep
- 1:54:19claiming Rams that they have not built value.
- 1:54:22I can bring them into it with nobility and honor.
- 1:54:26I will get there colorful and it's bright and they keep
- 1:54:29dancing and life says show me the value and the contribution
- 1:54:33that you have. I made-up my mind that in every
- 1:54:36area of my life where the Lord would have me serve, whether in
- 1:54:40ministry, in leadership, corporate life, whatever it is,
- 1:54:43I would be valuable and competent.
- 1:54:46That I will never stand before anybody across the globe and not
- 1:54:50be able to contribute something to their lives.
- 1:54:52If I cannot contribute intellectually, most likely if
- 1:54:56the person is not born again, there are demons.
- 1:55:06Even if you are free from demons, most likely you may not
- 1:55:08be very serious with the Holy Spirit.
- 1:55:11I'm still there. Again, you know what it means to
- 1:55:15be Alpha and Omega. Go and find out the implication
- 1:55:18of that name. You cannot do without me.
- 1:55:20You can run away from me, but you will meet a need that will
- 1:55:23still bring you back to me. Hallelujah.
- 1:55:29Listen, I want you to make a covenant with your destiny
- 1:55:32tonight that in the name of Jesus Christ I will stop being
- 1:55:36the one who just claps for people with jealousy and shame.
- 1:55:40I'm ready to one sit down for some of you.
- 1:55:42You are complaining and say people don't like me.
- 1:55:45Forget all those things. Try stop trying to live a fake
- 1:55:48life. Get in a house that your value
- 1:55:50cannot maintain. Go back with nobility from where
- 1:55:53you are. Start building yourself.
- 1:55:55Buy books after service, buy teachings.
- 1:55:58Go online instead of browsing around finding it out what is
- 1:56:02happening in people's lives who don't know you.
- 1:56:04Settle down and get materials. Man of God, don't just move
- 1:56:10around telling people I'm a man of God.
- 1:56:12Invite me. Go and sit down.
- 1:56:14Lord. What is the secret of fire?
- 1:56:16What is the secret to an excelling life?
- 1:56:18What is the secret to teaching with precision?
- 1:56:21How do I understand scripture? #4 I've not taught this in this
- 1:56:34house because there is a separate series.
- 1:56:36My goodness, you will not want to miss that series.
- 1:56:39We're going to be dealing with a serious issue in the body of
- 1:56:42Christ. But it's a, it's one of the laws
- 1:56:45of of dominion that will help you if you want to strive for
- 1:56:49mastery, the law of authority, the law of authority.
- 1:56:55There is a separate series that is coming there.
- 1:56:58But this is very powerful. Most people do not realize that
- 1:57:03you succeed in life to the degree you are as powerful as
- 1:57:10your relationship with your authority that sends you.
- 1:57:14You are as powerful as your relationship with the authority
- 1:57:19that sends you. Most people do not understand
- 1:57:24that authority plays a vital role in dominion and commanding
- 1:57:31mastery. Hallelujah.
- 1:57:39In James chapter 4 and verse 7, Apostle James was teaching us
- 1:57:43the power of authority and here's what he said.
- 1:57:46Submit yourselves therefore to God.
- 1:57:49That is the first key. Recognize that there is an
- 1:57:52authority from when you derive your your own power and then
- 1:57:57with that consciousness resist the devil and he says you will
- 1:58:01flee. Most people just go into
- 1:58:03resisting the devil and they do not understand that the level of
- 1:58:07your submission to authority. Doctor Mike Murdoch will say
- 1:58:11authority seeks to provide three things in the life of any
- 1:58:14individual #1 provision #2 protection #3 promotion.
- 1:58:21The assignment of authority in the life of a believer #1
- 1:58:26provision #2 protection. #3 promotion, The law of authority.
- 1:58:42Long reading Matthew chapter 8 I believe.
- 1:58:44Let me check it here Matthew chapter 8.
- 1:58:46When you read from verse 5 to 13 Jesus it was a story of the
- 1:58:49centurion. The Bible says he saw a
- 1:58:53centurion verse 6. Let's hurry up so that we can
- 1:58:57pray. The centurion came to him and
- 1:58:59said, My servant lieth at home, sick of the palsy, grievously
- 1:59:05tormented. 7 Jesus said unto him, I will come, I will respect
- 1:59:10your office, and come and heal him.
- 1:59:12Let's see what happened. Verse 8 The centurion answered
- 1:59:15and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou should has come under
- 1:59:18my roof, but speak the word only, and my servant shall be
- 1:59:23healed. What was the basis of his
- 1:59:24understanding? For I am a man.
- 1:59:27Help me on that authority. Stop there.
- 1:59:32I am a man. There is something I know about
- 1:59:36the power of authority, that you are as powerful as the authority
- 1:59:41that backs you. Can I tell you when God sent
- 1:59:45Moses? Moses said it will take modern
- 1:59:47skill to bring deliverance. Who shall I tell Pharaoh has
- 1:59:51sent me? Daniel Chapter 11 and verse 32
- 1:59:55B. Here's what the Bible says.
- 1:59:56But the people that do know their God, the governments that
- 2:00:01has sent them, they shall be strong.
- 2:00:05And shall do exploits. Can I tell you this life and
- 2:00:08destiny must ask you this one question.
- 2:00:10Who sent you? In preparing my notes for this
- 2:00:16discussion tonight, I just thought about how many jobs we
- 2:00:21have in Nigeria and how that there are some jobs.
- 2:00:25Because of the sensitive nature of the jobs, they will demand
- 2:00:29that before they consider you, you have to bring a reference
- 2:00:32letter. Am I right on that?
- 2:00:34You bring a reference letter from a very noble personality.
- 2:00:41They believe that no one would just take his reputation on you
- 2:00:45for nothing. They would ask you questions, so
- 2:00:48they will say bring a letter from a senator, a president,
- 2:00:52whatever, a director or somebody, a civil servant at a
- 2:00:55particular grade level. Can I tell you this?
- 2:01:00It is dangerous to try to explore this realm of greatness
- 2:01:04alone, the authority that. Backs you both physically and
- 2:01:10spiritually matters the dear man of God in this nation, When he
- 2:01:16was moving to go and start ministry, he went to meet
- 2:01:20another senior man of God, the father of faith in this nation.
- 2:01:23And he said what one advice would you give me as I'm going
- 2:01:26now? And According to him, the man of
- 2:01:28God spoke to him in Yoruba and he said here is my advice, never
- 2:01:32fight alone, you will be defeated.
- 2:01:35You are as powerful as the authority that sends you.
- 2:01:40Look at me, ladies and gentlemen.
- 2:01:41Are you conscious of the authority?
- 2:01:45That you are under. What gives us the audacity to
- 2:01:50gather people like this week in week?
- 2:01:53Out we had a a powerful time in Zarya over the weekend, you
- 2:01:57know, wonderful time of teaching, miracle service and it
- 2:02:00was such a phenomenal time. What gives this audacity?
- 2:02:05The authority when Jesus walked upon the earth.
- 2:02:12Notice Jesus never called himself Father.
- 2:02:18Go and read your Bible. Jesus never.
- 2:02:21They called him Father. They attested to the fact that
- 2:02:24he was one week. He said I am the Father, I am
- 2:02:26one. But he never called himself
- 2:02:29Father for as long as he was on earth.
- 2:02:31He acknowledged that there was ABBA, one above him, the law of
- 2:02:38authority many believers are not.
- 2:02:42Able to succeed. Because they do not understand
- 2:02:45the power of authority. Can I tell you I had to be a
- 2:02:49bearer of bad news? But let me tell you, if you just
- 2:02:52depend on the quality of your spiritual life alone to advance
- 2:02:56you, your pace may be slow. There are times you would need
- 2:02:59to outsource the the covenant advantage that comes with
- 2:03:03authority and make tremendous progress in your life while you
- 2:03:07grow. Authority is powerful when God
- 2:03:10calls men as individuals. When God calls ministries, there
- 2:03:14are covenants that He has with them that become the platform
- 2:03:18for certain possibilities to happen and you can tap into that
- 2:03:23covenant. There are ministries that carry
- 2:03:27the covenant of wealth and prosperity.
- 2:03:29You will see people come to that ministry even before they know
- 2:03:32anything about finances. They start prospering because of
- 2:03:36honorful authority. There are ministries that are
- 2:03:38prophetic. For instance, you would see a
- 2:03:40businessman would come into the ministry looking for business
- 2:03:44solution, but in addition to that solution, they will also
- 2:03:47carry that grace because it's an advantage.
- 2:03:52Every ministry and every genuine servant of God.
- 2:03:56In fact, it extends to every leader that God calls.
- 2:04:00Please hear me. There are covenants and this
- 2:04:03covenants can become a platform Now it can be idolized.
- 2:04:07Unfortunately, we were suffering that now in Africa, but within
- 2:04:11the boundary of Scripture. If you understand the advantage
- 2:04:15that authority provides, your life will be a sign and a
- 2:04:18wonder. When it was time for David to go
- 2:04:22and fight Goliath, read your Bible.
- 2:04:24When Saul heard about him, he looked at him.
- 2:04:27There were certain questions that Saul asked among them.
- 2:04:31Whose son are you? What tribe are you not, not who
- 2:04:34trained you in the wilderness? I want to know what covenant you
- 2:04:38are going to that battleground with.
- 2:04:40When he stood before Goliath, Goliath had their own gods that
- 2:04:45they worshipped even as a warrior.
- 2:04:50But David came and announced the basis of his victory.
- 2:04:53He says you come to me with your spheres and your balls, but I
- 2:04:56come to you in the name, the name of the God of heaven whom
- 2:05:00you are, the God of Israel, whom you have divide.
- 2:05:04Can I tell you this, there are times your skill can fail, but
- 2:05:08your, the covenant of the authority you are under can
- 2:05:11speak to you and speak for you. It is true, the law of
- 2:05:21authority. Let's go to the next one.
- 2:05:24I'm just discussing all the laws or some of the many laws of the
- 2:05:29Spirit that you must be able to know and study in depth if it is
- 2:05:34mastery that you want to gain. Next, the law of faith.
- 2:05:39I've done an extensive teaching on this.
- 2:05:42John 11 and verse 14. I tell you, someone's life is
- 2:05:45changing this night in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 2:05:49John 1140 Jesus sayeth to her, Sayeth I not unto thee, that if
- 2:05:57thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God.
- 2:06:04So there is a relationship between believing God and seeing
- 2:06:07his glory. I have taught extensively on
- 2:06:10faith here. Mark 1122 to 24 Jesus himself is
- 2:06:15teaching us a lesson on faith, and he says, Have faith in God.
- 2:06:18Papa Higgin will say, Have the faith of God. 23 For verily I
- 2:06:24say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be
- 2:06:30thou removed, and be cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in
- 2:06:34his heart, but believe that those things which he sayeth
- 2:06:38shall come to pass, the Bible says he shall have whatsoever he
- 2:06:42sayeth. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things so ever ye
- 2:06:48desire when ye pray, believe that thou receiveth them, and
- 2:06:53thou shall have them. Say faith one more time.
- 2:06:55Say faith a combination of your conviction and your persuasion
- 2:07:02about God alongside your obedience.
- 2:07:07Your obedience. Faith, in one word, is
- 2:07:10obedience. Obedience to the scriptural
- 2:07:14demands that commit God over the affairs of your life.
- 2:07:19Not just obedience to anything, obedience to the scriptural
- 2:07:23demands for everything you want God to do in your life.
- 2:07:28There are scriptural demands. Faith becomes a definition, the
- 2:07:32name given to your complying with the scriptural demands that
- 2:07:38commit God. Apostle, I want to prosper.
- 2:07:42There is a scriptural demand. Your assignment is to obtain
- 2:07:46grace to work in keeping with that demand.
- 2:07:49Apostle, I want to excel in life.
- 2:07:51There is a scriptural demand. Please look up four times in
- 2:07:54scripture like you have learned here.
- 2:07:56The Bible says that just shall live by faith.
- 2:08:01There are no guarantees in life. Precious people of God, nobody
- 2:08:05will give you a guarantee anywhere.
- 2:08:07Your guarantee is your faith. This is the victory that
- 2:08:11overcomes the world, even our faith.
- 2:08:16Man of God, nobody is going to give you a guarantee that the
- 2:08:19next 1020 years you will still be relevant in ministry.
- 2:08:23Nobody will give you a guarantee that you will still be alive by
- 2:08:26next week. Nobody will give you a guarantee
- 2:08:29that you will still be at the cutting edge of revival and the
- 2:08:32program of God. It takes faith your conviction.
- 2:08:35But I know whom I have believed, the Bible says, and I am
- 2:08:39persuaded that he's able. If I ask you what makes you
- 2:08:43believe that 2022 will still be a victorious year for you, don't
- 2:08:47tell me my uncle just became a senator.
- 2:08:50That's not a very accurate answer, your face.
- 2:08:53I believe that Jesus Christ is still alive, and for as long as
- 2:08:58he's alive, for as long as his word remains true, then I remain
- 2:09:02victorious. Someone shouted, Say I'm
- 2:09:04victorious. Let the devil hear you.
- 2:09:07I am victorious. Ready for the next?
- 2:09:14I hope you understand what I'm giving you now.
- 2:09:18The law of relationships. This is the next.
- 2:09:25The law of relationships, Goodness.
- 2:09:37The law of relationships, I'm just touching on it.
- 2:09:43Remember I taught you on this that relationships matter in
- 2:09:47your life. We're gaining mastery so that if
- 2:09:50somebody tells you things are not working in my life, in your
- 2:09:54mind, if you want to help that person, you don't just say,
- 2:09:57let's pray you can know what is wrong.
- 2:09:59Apostle, I'm a great man, but there's nobody somewhere to hear
- 2:10:03me. You know that this person is
- 2:10:05lacking of relationships. Relationships are very powerful.
- 2:10:09I taught you from Genesis 12 and Genesis 13.
- 2:10:11Remember the story of Abraham and Lot?
- 2:10:14The Bible says God called Abraham.
- 2:10:16He called him alone and all his servants.
- 2:10:18Then the Bible says and Lot went with him.
- 2:10:21By the time we get to chapter 13, we see that everything
- 2:10:25Abraham had, Lot also had to the point that you will not even
- 2:10:29know who got called and who followed again.
- 2:10:31And then Lot made a mistake, a costly mistake.
- 2:10:34He separated himself from Abraham.
- 2:10:40I've taught you in this house that there are three levels and
- 2:10:43three kinds of relationships. There are general relationships
- 2:10:47to be friendly and to be nice and kind and warm to everybody
- 2:10:50around you, regardless who, regardless status #2 there are
- 2:10:54seasonal relationships. And that the key to receiving
- 2:10:58from seasonal relationships is discernment, because those
- 2:11:01relationships are not there forever.
- 2:11:02You have to discern them and maximize the moment while they
- 2:11:05are there. And then #3 there are covenant
- 2:11:08or destiny relationships. These are relationships you must
- 2:11:12protect at all costs because a part of your success and your
- 2:11:16results is connected to it. The moment Lord separated
- 2:11:25himself from Abraham, the next thing we find is a gradual
- 2:11:29decline until he found himself in the middle of Sodom.
- 2:11:33It still took Abraham to negotiate for him and still send
- 2:11:38angels to come and help him and rescue him.
- 2:11:41And then Abraham many times he helped that his cousin called
- 2:11:45Lot prodigal son. He was successful only because
- 2:11:51he was in relationship with his father.
- 2:11:54The. Moment he cut away from that
- 2:11:56relationship luck and one started until he found himself
- 2:12:00with peaks. How about the believer?
- 2:12:02We only excel based on our relationship with Jesus and then
- 2:12:05our relationship with His Spirit.
- 2:12:08The basis for our excelling in life is the Spirit of God.
- 2:12:16Relationships are powerful. There are laws to relationships.
- 2:12:201 of it is friendliness. I've taught you this
- 2:12:22forbearance. All men are men.
- 2:12:26The best of any man is still a man.
- 2:12:29The person you like the most will annoy you one day.
- 2:12:32Is not new. Learn it.
- 2:12:33You have to factoid. I taught you that one of the
- 2:12:36major things you need to maintain relationships is
- 2:12:38forgiveness and forbearance. Forgiveness means to pardon a
- 2:12:43default. Forbearance means to create an
- 2:12:46accommodation for that lapse because it will happen again.
- 2:12:51Can I tell you some of the people God will use to lift and
- 2:12:54help you most in life? Some of them may sustain things
- 2:12:57in your life you want to drive them for.
- 2:13:00But let me tell you sincerely, if you can understand how
- 2:13:02relationships work, you will protect certain relationships
- 2:13:06until they deliver to you the prophecy attached to them.
- 2:13:09For instance, maybe you're man of God.
- 2:13:11Maybe there is a man of God. Anointed and assigned to help
- 2:13:15you, but you don't like the man because of the way he speaks, or
- 2:13:18because of temper, or because of other limitations your ability
- 2:13:22to endure those. Limitations will make way for
- 2:13:25you to receive of the grace that is in that person.
- 2:13:28Everybody say relationships. You are a relationship away to
- 2:13:33the next level of your life. I've taught you extensively on
- 2:13:37this and that includes even the Ministry of Destiny.
- 2:13:40Help us remember divine connectors.
- 2:13:43Men of influence, gifted people, burden bearers.
- 2:13:47Listen, I want you to go back. I gave you an assignment that
- 2:13:50time. I know many of you didn't do it.
- 2:13:52God is giving you another chance.
- 2:13:53Go and write a list of some of the most valuable relationships
- 2:13:59in your life and begin to invest in them consciously.
- 2:14:03The top ten relationships in your life that reflect It's like
- 2:14:09those relationships are a gateway.
- 2:14:12You can't put everybody in your life in the same category and
- 2:14:16invest the same level of time, energy, and effort.
- 2:14:18That is not wise. It has nothing to do with hating
- 2:14:21or loving. There are relationships that are
- 2:14:24priceless in your life and if and when you find those
- 2:14:27relationships, throw away your ego and don't be ashamed to
- 2:14:30invest your time and energy because the returns from those
- 2:14:34relationship will translate into an excelling life.
- 2:14:39Hallelujah. Are we together?
- 2:14:42There are sacrifices that I've made in my life.
- 2:14:44Even in ministry, there are places I've gone to minister.
- 2:14:47It was not part of the original schedule, but the sacrifice of
- 2:14:51maintaining relationships, maybe with the Fathers and the people
- 2:14:54there. I've had to bend over backwards.
- 2:14:56Sometimes even to the detriment of my health.
- 2:14:59It was a It may not have been the best sacrifice, but can I
- 2:15:03tell you the truth? I know that the Excellency of
- 2:15:07the the kind of the kind of relationship that will be built
- 2:15:11from that sacrifice will be worth the while.
- 2:15:14There are many of you. There is nobody who is special
- 2:15:17in your life. Nobody is worth your commitment.
- 2:15:21There is nobody who can make you wake up in the night to answer
- 2:15:25their call or pray for them. You believe you are a
- 2:15:28disciplinarian. I sleep by 12 midnight and not
- 2:15:32even Jesus Christ wakes me. If you continue like that, you
- 2:15:35will not go far. Can I tell you when it has to do
- 2:15:40with the world of men? There are positive compromises.
- 2:15:43Yes, Sir. Yes, Sir.
- 2:15:47I left you with a thought when we discussed on relationship.
- 2:15:51Let me bring it to you again. Is there anyone in your life
- 2:15:54today who sees you to be so valuable and useful to them that
- 2:15:59if you call for help of any sort, if it is within their
- 2:16:03power, they will stand up without question and come to
- 2:16:07you? If you don't have at least one
- 2:16:09of such kind of person in your life, I assure you, by God you
- 2:16:13are sitting on a time bomb. No matter how anointed, no
- 2:16:16matter how enlightened in this world, who hates you does not
- 2:16:20matter, but who likes you matters.
- 2:16:22He is just somebody who can cry with you when you are crying,
- 2:16:26not that you beg the person to cry with you.
- 2:16:28He came on his own volition to say I love you too much.
- 2:16:31Your pain is my pain. Great leaders will tell you that
- 2:16:38part of the things that make them excel is that they may not
- 2:16:41have money, but they have the wealth of men.
- 2:16:44Genuine and sincere man. I'll tell you a little story
- 2:16:50now. I'm sure he's going to be
- 2:16:51embarrassed about pastor here. I remember one time I was going
- 2:16:56to go and preach and it was a huge sacrifice.
- 2:17:00I was to stop by at Enugu, just do 2-3 hours or so, preach, and
- 2:17:04then had to connect with another conference in Port Harcourt.
- 2:17:07It was so inconveniencing. But then I needed to push
- 2:17:10through because of the honor that I had for that man of God
- 2:17:14and that father of faith. And when I remember when I got
- 2:17:18in, I was, you know, so exhausted.
- 2:17:21And please don't, don't feel embarrassed.
- 2:17:23This dear man, you see when I tell you he's a good man, He
- 2:17:25really is a good man. Put together his team.
- 2:17:31It was even his team that went and picked me from the airport.
- 2:17:34I just went to rest a bit and as I was preaching, he came for the
- 2:17:38program. When I finished, this man was
- 2:17:40with me all around. This is for those of you who
- 2:17:43know House on the Rock very well.
- 2:17:44Respectfully speaking, this is one of the men who has raised
- 2:17:48many of the leaders in House on the Rock.
- 2:17:54Profound humility. Hallelujah.
- 2:17:59I was so humbled and broken that day.
- 2:18:01I didn't know how to tell him. Pastor, please, your boys are
- 2:18:04here, you go back. And he escorted me right to the
- 2:18:07base of the aircraft to leave. Can I tell you this?
- 2:18:10I have learned by experience, not everybody thinks you are a
- 2:18:14big deal. So when you find people who
- 2:18:17think you are that important, don't trivialize them because it
- 2:18:23is not everybody who thinks you are that special or deserving of
- 2:18:26honor that much. Let me give you a kind advice.
- 2:18:30When you find people in your life who are sincerely
- 2:18:34interested in your life and your well-being and love you
- 2:18:37sincerely with no strings attached, let me tell you, don't
- 2:18:40be ashamed to invest in those relationships.
- 2:18:49Are we learning? There are some people who may
- 2:18:51not have money to give you man of God, but you can be sure.
- 2:18:55That every time you cry they are there?
- 2:18:59How do you throw such people out of your life when Jesus Christ
- 2:19:08was on his way to go and die? I taught you during Easter, why
- 2:19:12was the woman with the issue of blood who cried?
- 2:19:16Where was the man at the the entrance of Jericho?
- 2:19:19The blind man? You thought all these people
- 2:19:22haven't received from Jesus? Are you learning that it's not
- 2:19:26enough to be valuable? As powerful as it was, Jesus
- 2:19:31gave them value. But now when he was headed for
- 2:19:34the cross, they all left him. But there was a stranger who
- 2:19:39supposedly appeared from nowhere, Simon of Cyrene, he
- 2:19:44said, I will not let you cry. I cannot die for the world, but
- 2:19:48I can help the one who can die back then in Zaria.
- 2:19:53I don't watch a lot of movies, unfortunately, I don't have the
- 2:19:57time, but I did a teaching in Zaria.
- 2:19:59Then I remember and I love this movie called Lord of the Rings.
- 2:20:04I think it. Seems to be one of my best
- 2:20:05movies simply because I just love anything that shows the
- 2:20:10laws of life in place. Right.
- 2:20:14And there was a gentleman, the ring bearer.
- 2:20:16The there was. You won't believe that all my
- 2:20:18love for that film is because of 1 scene.
- 2:20:23So don't think I've never been able to watch it from start to
- 2:20:26finish. So don't even think that I know
- 2:20:28what I'm saying. Praise God are we together?
- 2:20:36But the one scene that the ring bearer was on his way to go and
- 2:20:40do his due diligence based on prophecy and he had this
- 2:20:43faithful friend and the friend made one statement called Sam.
- 2:20:49The friend said I may not be able to carry the ring, but I
- 2:20:53can carry you. When I saw that one, I said this
- 2:20:58is it. This is a revelation that is
- 2:21:00scriptural question. Please look up.
- 2:21:06There are burdens that you have in your life.
- 2:21:08Dear Leader, dear man of God, are there people who can carry
- 2:21:13you while you? Carry that burden.
- 2:21:15Walk betides a man who is left alone carrying the burden of
- 2:21:19your vision with people who are in your life just to pray on
- 2:21:23your gifts and go back. They pray on your revelation,
- 2:21:26pray on your anointing, and once they have everything, question,
- 2:21:30are there people in your life who if you don't provide any
- 2:21:33value for, they will still stay because they will tell you I'm
- 2:21:36not here for it, I am here. For you, May God make you such a
- 2:21:42person, and then May God bring such people to your life.
- 2:21:52The law of relationships. My life has changed because of
- 2:21:56relationships. God has helped me in ministry
- 2:21:59because of relationships. Every facet of my life has
- 2:22:04received an upward turn because of relationships.
- 2:22:07I remind you again, be fruitful means be relational.
- 2:22:13There is no fruitfulness without relationships.
- 2:22:16No matter what you have and what you are, you need relationships.
- 2:22:20You must obtain grace from God to learn relationships.
- 2:22:25Apostle, all I need in my life is just God.
- 2:22:27You are right, but in the cosmos you are wrong.
- 2:22:36Hallelujah, relationships. Let me give you a few more.
- 2:22:42We wrap up. Are you learning something
- 2:22:44tonight? The next?
- 2:22:46Law. That will help you work in
- 2:22:49dominion and will help you produce mastery in your life is
- 2:22:54the law of honor. This is a jackpot.
- 2:23:00I can spend one week teaching on this.
- 2:23:03I understand it. Believe me.
- 2:23:07I'm just touching these things. I'm not going into in depth
- 2:23:09detail. I've done teachings on them.
- 2:23:11The law of honor, very powerful spiritual principle.
- 2:23:18Honor being the discerning, the celebrating, and even the
- 2:23:23rewarding of men because of their value and their
- 2:23:27uniqueness. The law of honor is powerful.
- 2:23:32Let me submit to you that honor can open sometimes more doors
- 2:23:37for you even than your skill. There are only three reasons
- 2:23:43why. One reason really separated into
- 2:23:463 dimensions why people fail in life.
- 2:23:49Only one reason. Dishonor.
- 2:23:52Dishonor to God, dishonor to men, dishonor to principles.
- 2:23:58That is the only reason why people fail.
- 2:24:00Dishonor to God, dishonor to men, dishonor to principles.
- 2:24:09I've taught you here in Koinonia that honor.
- 2:24:13Is the key for access every time a door closes over you, it was
- 2:24:20dishonored that closed that door, especially if it was once
- 2:24:23opened Any door I assure you by God that once opened over your
- 2:24:29life and is now closed, dishonored closed it.
- 2:24:32Business doors, especially doors of help and support.
- 2:24:37There are many men of God who may never be allowed to minister
- 2:24:40in certain. Circles again.
- 2:24:42Because even though they were anointed and gifted, dishonor
- 2:24:46shuts that door towards them. Many of you, at one point or the
- 2:24:52other, you've had unusual access into the lives of people,
- 2:24:57especially great and noble people, spiritually, politically
- 2:25:01and otherwise. But dishonor close that door.
- 2:25:05What is dishonor? The trivializing, the demeaning,
- 2:25:10the downplaying of people's achievements, people's
- 2:25:14uniqueness, and people's value. When you trivialize, when you
- 2:25:19demean, when you downplay people, there are severe life
- 2:25:25threatening consequences. I've taught you to practice
- 2:25:39honor. Honor is a powerful spiritual
- 2:25:41principle that will help you, will lift you, will bless you.
- 2:25:47I am a beneficiary of the law of honor.
- 2:25:51There are circles that ordinarily outside of the grace
- 2:25:54of God upon my life. I should never be in those
- 2:25:57circles or enjoy those privileges.
- 2:26:00Not at this level of my life moving at the natural human
- 2:26:03pace. But honor is an accelerator.
- 2:26:06It can fast track your destiny. Honor can bring you into the
- 2:26:09achievement of your 10 years later.
- 2:26:12Now is someone learning, don't live a life and say it's only
- 2:26:20God that I know and dishonor everybody?
- 2:26:22No, there are people in this Abuja, there are people in this
- 2:26:26nation. It is within their power to lift
- 2:26:29and bless and help. But all the people around them
- 2:26:32who are in need of that help have perpetually communicated
- 2:26:36dishonor to the point that there are even parents that will.
- 2:26:42They wrote their will to house helps and other people, not
- 2:26:45their biological children. Because of the level of
- 2:26:48dishonor. Please say in the name of Jesus
- 2:26:52I obtain grace to practice honor.
- 2:26:57Honor is powerful. There are people who never greet
- 2:27:00anyone. Once a person is not rich or
- 2:27:02wealthy, you don't greet them. Let me look for the rich people.
- 2:27:06That's parasitism, not honor. If it is genuine honor, it must
- 2:27:11be for all men, because you see the person who is already made,
- 2:27:16you've seen their end. But the person who is rising,
- 2:27:18you don't know how far they will rise.
- 2:27:24Some of you after this service you may need to call your loved
- 2:27:27ones or call people around who are perceived that you have
- 2:27:30communicated dishonor perpetually and let them know
- 2:27:33that you love them and you honor them.
- 2:27:37There are men of God who will come and mount another man of
- 2:27:39God's pulpit and rubbish the ministry, rubbish what they are
- 2:27:43doing, downplay the work of the man and share the grace.
- 2:27:48If you are that man of God, will you invite any other person like
- 2:27:51that to come on your pulpit? It is because of this fear of
- 2:27:55dishonour sometimes that men of God seem overprotective with
- 2:27:58their pulpit because they love the sheep so much they don't
- 2:28:01want to bring people who sell a narrative that dishonour is
- 2:28:05marketable. Practice honor.
- 2:28:10Honor children, honor your subordinates, honor your
- 2:28:14contemporaries, honor your superiors, honor all men, honor
- 2:28:19kings, and you will watch your life keep.
- 2:28:22Shining, shining as a man of God.
- 2:28:26You see, for those in ministry, let me tell you, preaching is
- 2:28:31not the only thing that makes ministry ministry.
- 2:28:33Oh, being anointed is not even the only thing that makes
- 2:28:36Ministry Ministry wait for part three-part 3 is the power of
- 2:28:40systems and structures. I'm going to be sharing with you
- 2:28:44something powerful when we get to Part 3.
- 2:28:46The power of systems and structures.
- 2:28:50You cannot gain mastery if you do not understand systems and
- 2:28:55structures. Tonight we are just dealing with
- 2:28:59the laws that make for Dominion. The law of honor, two more and
- 2:29:04then we'll pray The law of favor is the next one.
- 2:29:09You know this, the law of favor. First Samuel, 1620 to 22.
- 2:29:19First Samuel 1620 to 22 and Jesse took an ass a laden with
- 2:29:26bread and a bottle of wine and a kid and send them by David his
- 2:29:32son to Saul. We're reading to 2221 and David
- 2:29:36came to Saul and stood before him and he loved him greatly and
- 2:29:42he became his armor bearer. Last verse 22 and Saul sent to
- 2:29:49Jesse saying, let David, I pray thee stand before me, for he had
- 2:29:55found favor in my sight. Favor is the number one reason
- 2:30:01people prosper. I recommend to you my teaching
- 2:30:04this grace called favor. Listen to it.
- 2:30:09Listen to it again and again. I, I honestly submit to you,
- 2:30:14dear people of God, I don't know how people survive without the
- 2:30:17favor of God. You will never be able to rise
- 2:30:20in today's world without favor. What is favor?
- 2:30:27When God anoints people to participate in your success,
- 2:30:31when they provide the leverage of their credibility, their
- 2:30:34resources to help you rise, listen to my teachings on
- 2:30:42favour. Believe us, your life will be
- 2:30:45difficult and hard if you do not find favour.
- 2:30:49And as it is, you've heard me lovingly correct.
- 2:30:53Just add this as a correction. For as many who would care to
- 2:30:56know, there are many people who have thought that favour is
- 2:31:00unmerited access. That may be right, but not
- 2:31:04entirely right. Favor is very merited.
- 2:31:07There are dimensions of favor. The saving grace is what is
- 2:31:12unmerited. But believe me, favor is
- 2:31:14merited. You can initiate favor.
- 2:31:18Favor is a reaction. There is something you can do
- 2:31:22that will equal to favor. Proverbs 1315.
- 2:31:26The Bible says good understanding procured favor,
- 2:31:30but the way of the transgressor is hard.
- 2:31:35Hardship has an explanation. There are many men of God who
- 2:31:41love Jesus with all their hearts anointed and preachers of
- 2:31:45righteousness. But this favor factor most do
- 2:31:48not have. There are families that do not
- 2:31:50have it. Some of you, you are seated
- 2:31:52here, the limitation. There are books within your
- 2:31:55spirit. There are visions that you have
- 2:31:58had, but to get to the nations, there's no favor.
- 2:32:03I will always tell people it's easy to look at the Joshua
- 2:32:06Selmons and those who God has seemed to, by His mercy and
- 2:32:08grace, bring to the limelight and believe that these are the
- 2:32:12faces. There are many people even
- 2:32:14greater than us, but simply because they've not tapped into
- 2:32:18the other dimensions of the Kingdom that gives them that
- 2:32:21visibility. Favor is powerful.
- 2:32:24Ask me favor is powerful. I've told you that who hates you
- 2:32:30does not matter, but who likes you matters.
- 2:32:33Mini listen. Listen, ministers of the gospel,
- 2:32:36I assure you, by God and with every sense of respect and
- 2:32:39regard, you're not going to run ministry just based on tithes
- 2:32:43and offerings. I assure you, by God, one day
- 2:32:46you will collapse. Any man of God who wants to work
- 2:32:49in integrity knows I'm not lying, except you want to
- 2:32:54manipulate God's people. But if you want to do ministry
- 2:32:57with the dignity of Kingdom integrity, you will need favor.
- 2:33:01You will need favor. I believe in the favor of God.
- 2:33:11I thank God that I learnt it. I continue to learn the loss of
- 2:33:15favor in addition to my loving Jesus and pressing into the
- 2:33:19things of the Spirit, serving the nations with disgrace for
- 2:33:22revival and power. I know that I need the favor of
- 2:33:25God. Everybody say favor, please.
- 2:33:31In one minute, as we prepare to take the last one, just lay your
- 2:33:34hands on your head again and say, Father, let favor begin to
- 2:33:37work for me. Pray from your heart.
- 2:33:41Believe me, you need it man of God, you may be watching online.
- 2:33:45You need it businessman, you need it.
- 2:33:48There are families here. It is this favor factor that you
- 2:33:52have not seen in your life. Spiritually you are doing well.
- 2:33:56God has helped you and shown you mercy.
- 2:33:58But you need favor. Hallelujah, praise the name of
- 2:34:04the Lord. Let me give you the last one and
- 2:34:07then we'll wrap up for tonight. The last law is the law of
- 2:34:11spiritual empowerment, the law of spiritual empowerment.
- 2:34:18I've given you about 9:00. These are the laws that you
- 2:34:21engage if you want to gain mastery and dominion in life.
- 2:34:27We started by discussing in Part 1 and even today that life and
- 2:34:32living is spiritual. That means you need more than
- 2:34:35intellectual empowerment. You need an empowerment from
- 2:34:39heaven. Jesus himself, he said the
- 2:34:42Spirit of the Lord, the messianic prophecy.
- 2:34:45It was for him in Luke chapter 4 when he came, he began to
- 2:34:49reiterate that same statement. The Spirit of the Lord is upon
- 2:34:52me because He has anointed, ordained, empowered me to preach
- 2:34:59the gospel to the poor, send me to heal the broken hearted.
- 2:35:03All of these things happen based on empowerment.
- 2:35:06Can I tell you there are certain things that cannot be done by
- 2:35:09the strength of the flesh? It will take.
- 2:35:11Supernatural empowerment and I've done teachings on this.
- 2:35:16Believe us, some of you have not opened up your heart for
- 2:35:19empowerment because you have been taught that empowerment is
- 2:35:22for men of God, those in ministry, apostles, prophets,
- 2:35:26those who will heal the sick, those who will deal with demons.
- 2:35:30And since I am dealing with files or I am dealing with
- 2:35:32politics, I don't need empowerment.
- 2:35:35No Sir, you do you. Do you?
- 2:35:38Do you need empowerment? It takes empowerment to rise.
- 2:35:44It takes empowerment to ward off the forces of darkness that come
- 2:35:47to fight the purposes of God in your life, man of God.
- 2:35:51It takes empowerment to allow that which God has given you go
- 2:35:56to the nations on hindered. I believe in spiritual
- 2:35:59empowerment. I have taught it all the days of
- 2:36:03my ministerial life. This is what I represent, among
- 2:36:06many other things, to the body of Christ, the possibility that
- 2:36:10men can be empowered and that their lives can become an
- 2:36:14unending, unending manifestation of the power of God.
- 2:36:22I have seen what the anointing can do.
- 2:36:25I have seen what the power of God can.
- 2:36:26Do you are truly a blessing when you are empowered?
- 2:36:33You came here tonight desiring to learn, desiring to grow.
- 2:36:42You came here tonight for someone because you've been
- 2:36:45asking questions in your life. Lord, I love you and I desire to
- 2:36:49know you. What is there where I can have a
- 2:36:52consolation to my Christian experience for someone who came
- 2:36:55here tonight wondering why do I enjoy victory and yet my victory
- 2:37:00short lived? Why do I enjoy results and then
- 2:37:04as soon as I'm celebrating I go back again?
- 2:37:08You are in need of mastery. Your results are random.
- 2:37:13You need to get to a point where you begin to walk in an uncanny
- 2:37:16level of mastery, he says. He that strives for mastery is
- 2:37:21not crowned except and unless he strives.
- 2:37:25Lawfully, the law. The sacrifice of total
- 2:37:30surrender. The law of mental
- 2:37:32transformation. The law of value and
- 2:37:35contribution. The law of authority and
- 2:37:38submission. The law of faith.
- 2:37:41The law of relationships. The law of honor.
- 2:37:44The law of favor. The law of Spiritual.
- 2:37:47Empowerment. There may be a few other laws
- 2:37:49that I'll be teaching you, but I give you a guarantee.
- 2:37:52All these laws like like keys and you can move through life,
- 2:37:58opening door after door, layer of success and victory after
- 2:38:03another. This is what God desires for us
- 2:38:06to do. And remember I have told you
- 2:38:08that your results matter for the Kingdom because it is in your
- 2:38:12excelling that the name of the Lord is glorified and God wants
- 2:38:16everyone of us to excel. Is someone ready to pray tonight
- 2:38:21you're going to pray and ask the Lord for grace.
- 2:38:23Lord, I am tired of shadow boxing my Christian experience
- 2:38:27I'm trying of I'm tired of guessing trial and error.
- 2:38:31Now I've been born again safe for 1020 years, but I have not
- 2:38:35been able to put together the spiritual principles that help
- 2:38:39me reveal and glorify you. Now you have taught me, I obtain
- 2:38:43grace. Someone pray lift your voice in
- 2:38:45one minute and. Pray.
- 2:38:50Chabranda Gados Calibra de Gadi Garcia, for just a minute or
- 2:38:55two, please make sure you focus on Jesus and pray of all the
- 2:39:04spiritual principles and this laws that I've taught you.
- 2:39:08You know the ones that are not yet at work in your life.
- 2:39:11Obtain grace from God. For some of you, you are.
- 2:39:14You are neglecting the law of relationships.
- 2:39:17For some of you, you have not accessed the favour of God.
- 2:39:20For some of you, dishonour has closed doors for you.
- 2:39:24For some of you, you have not even laid down everything.
- 2:39:27There is no surrender in your life.
- 2:39:30For some of you, value and contribution.
- 2:39:33You have entertained mediocrity in your life, in ministry, in
- 2:39:37business, in career. It's time to come up here.
- 2:39:43Shekhar Pataka Toskata Brenda de Belleco Theatre.
- 2:39:47Someone is praying. One more minute.
- 2:39:50Are you crying to God? It's time, oh God, to blow me
- 2:40:01like a chauffeur to the nations. Prepare me.
- 2:40:06I strive for mastery. Hallelujah.
- 2:40:14Listen. One of the advantages of being a
- 2:40:19master or striving for mastery is that you redeem time.
- 2:40:26Every time you fail an exam, they either dismiss you from
- 2:40:30that system or you recycle time again.
- 2:40:33Is that true? Sometimes that time can be as
- 2:40:36much as one year. Lack of mastery will make a
- 2:40:39journey of 40 days to become 40 years.
- 2:40:42Someone is praying one last prayer.
- 2:40:44Father, let my mastery of this spiritual laws bring efficiency
- 2:40:50to my spiritual life. Go ahead and pray in that which
- 2:40:55you have called me to do. Chabrande de Bellacus, Cataprasa
- 2:41:11de Bellahasia, Those who have gone ahead of us have shown us
- 2:41:17that these are the keys. In the name of Jesus Christ, let
- 2:41:29me pray for you as we wrap up tonight.

- 2:41:52these spiritual laws. These are the laws that help men
- 2:41:56to gain mastery in life and destiny.
- 2:42:00I pray in the name of Jesus that for every one person here who is
- 2:42:06yet to gain and lay hold of this spiritual principles, the grace
- 2:42:11to do so is released upon you in the name of.
- 2:42:16Jesus, I pray for the diligence to understand and master these
- 2:42:23laws and that as you engage them, your life will be nothing
- 2:42:27short of a sign and a wonder where you have been down.
- 2:42:32May this laws lift you up in the name of Jesus and where you have
- 2:42:38not been able to bear much fruit that brings glory to the name of
- 2:42:42the Lord. May this laws accelerate your
- 2:42:45results in the name of Jesus. Can I tell you this?
- 2:42:50Please look up for many of you. I submit to you and I'm saying
- 2:42:55this. Primarily to the house here, but
- 2:42:58it extends to as many who'll be interested.
- 2:43:00If I were you, I will shut down on many, many nonsense.
- 2:43:04I'm trying to learn as far as becoming successful is concerned
- 2:43:08and. Deal with these things first.
- 2:43:10Pick them one by one. For some of you.
- 2:43:13God has brought acceleration. He has reduced your shadow
- 2:43:17boxing of 1020 years. Go back and look at them.
- 2:43:22I've been trying to make ministry work.
- 2:43:24I've been trying to make my destiny work.
- 2:43:27This is it, Holy Spirit, open my eyes.
- 2:43:30The more all of these laws, I've taught them in details.
- 2:43:36Listen to them one by one and learn them.
- 2:43:41And you will come and stand here week after week testifying to
- 2:43:44the point that you will even think will be angry with you
- 2:43:46because your face is too frequent, because there will be
- 2:43:49no week without a notable testimony in the name of Jesus
- 2:43:54Christ. Lift your hands and give him
- 2:43:56thanks for tonight's service. Hallelujah, Part 3.

- 2:44:33minute and we'll be done. I know that most people may try
- 2:44:36to rush so that they get vehicles and the rest of the
- 2:44:38patient. Let's honor all who need to make
- 2:44:41a decision. Every time God gathers us like
- 2:44:44this, it is because there is someone who comes in the midst
- 2:44:47of God's people who needs Jesus, and I believe tonight is no
- 2:44:52different. There's someone.
- 2:44:54You are here, you are saying, apostle, I need Jesus in my life
- 2:44:59and for another, you are saying apostle.
- 2:45:00I remember giving my heart to Jesus, but I need restoration.

- 2:45:08overflows outside, may I request that you come and stand here

- 2:47:36in no wise castaway. They have come because they
- 2:47:40believe in you. By the authority of scripture I
- 2:47:43declare your sins forgiven and I pray that my God gives you a new
- 2:47:47beginning from tonight. The power of sin, Satan, hell
- 2:47:51and the grave is broken over your life.

- 2:49:27needs Jesus, who need encounters with his life and power.
