  Shalika Baratus Calibranda Gabalada.
• 2:42
  Lord, we bless you. We give you thanks, we give you
• 2:46
  thanks, We give you thanks, we give you thanks.
• 2:52
  Blessed be the name of the Lord. For your mercies, for your
• 2:56
  grace, for your kindness, for your love, we thank you.
• 3:01
  You have done all things well. To you be all the glory.
• 3:06
  Are you still thanking the King of glory?
• 3:12
  Lord, we bless you. Lord we bless you.
• 3:16
  Lord we bless you. Lord we bless you.
• 3:23
  Hallelujah, Psalm 34 whilst we're still standing from verse
• 3:29
  1. Psalm 34 from verse one.
• 3:33
  I will bless the Lord at all times.
• 3:35
  His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
• 3:39
  Verse 2 we're reading tonight. My soul shall make her boast in
• 3:43
  the Lord. The humble verse 3.
• 3:49
  All magnify the Lord with me, let us exalt his name together.
• 3:54
  Reading to 9. Verse four.
• 3:56
  I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my
• 4:01
  fears. 5 They looked unto him, and were lightened, and their
• 4:06
  faces were not ashamed. The poor man cried, and the Lord
• 4:11
  heard him, and saved him from all his troubles. 7 The Angel of
• 4:16
  the Lord encampeth round them that fear him, and delivereth
• 4:20
  them. Verse 8 that the Lord is good.
• 4:26
  Blessed said is the man that trusted in him. 9 The last verse
• 4:30
  O fear the Lord, ye his Saints. Father, we want to say thank
• 4:38
  you. You have been good to us, and we
• 4:42
  thank you even tonight. We lay to heart to give you
• 4:47
  glory. We lay to heart to give you
• 4:49
  thanks. We thank you for the months
• 4:51
  past. We thank you for your
• 4:53
  faithfulness over us, over every family here represented your
• 4:58
  grace upon this ministry, Your mighty hand upon our lives, for
• 5:03
  the signs, the wonders, the manifold operations of your
• 5:07
  wisdom in our lives. Thank you for what you have done
• 5:10
  through us across the nations of the earth.
• 5:13
  Thank you for the contributions that you've empowered us to make
• 5:16
  as far as the advancement of your program is concerned.
• 5:20
  We thank you. Be glorified, be glorified, be
• 5:24
  glorified. To you be all the glory.
• 5:27
  Tonight we have come asking that you will bless us.
• 5:29
  Yes, again. And we pray in the name of Jesus
• 5:33
  that tonight, even now, will be someone service.
• 5:37
  Even now will be the final manifestation of someone's
• 5:41
  testimony in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 5:45
  Let me request if you will walk up to 20 people and just shout
• 5:49
  congratulations. Make sure that it gets to their
• 5:52
  ears. Tell them congratulations.
• 5:55
  The meaning of that is that you have come into a season where
• 5:58
  shame and reproach is gone from your life.
• 6:10
  Some of you are not moving. Congratulations.
• 6:32
  In Jesus name, no matter what number you are, I give you 18,
• 6:39
  so two more and then you go back to your seat 19 and then 20
• 6:45
  return back to your seat giving Jesus praise.
• 6:54
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord, Amen.
• 7:04
  We want to thank the Lord for the opportunity to be gathered
• 7:09
  here one last time for this year.
• 7:11
  We do not take His faithfulness for granted.
• 7:14
  Hallelujah. This by the grace of God is our
• 7:20
  final service meeting on site for 2024.
• 7:24
  Someone excited, give Jesus praise.
• 7:30
  Hallelujah. We bless the Lord for his
• 7:33
  faithfulness. Please.
• 7:35
  You may be seated. You may be seated.
• 7:41
  Let me start tonight by appreciating everyone for your
• 7:46
  commitment, for your faithfulness.
• 7:49
  Koinonia Global. I want to say thank you for
• 7:52
  helping us serve Jesus and particularly our guests who have
• 7:57
  travelled knowing that this is our final service but they still
• 8:01
  left their nations, their cities to be here.
• 8:04
  May the Lord bless you and do you good in Jesus name.
• 8:09
  Like I announced earlier today marks the final service by the
• 8:14
  grace of God for 2024 on site this year being a year of
• 8:19
  exceeding great rewards. Hallelujah so as a global
• 8:23
  family, from tomorrow the 16th, we're officially on break until
• 8:28
  the 19th of January 2025. Looks like only those who plan
• 8:35
  to be alive are clapping Hallelujah.
• 8:41
  So 19th of January 2025 will resume very powerfully.
• 8:46
  And the reason why we give breaks like this is to allow or
• 8:50
  spend time with God, to rest for our workers and to refresh, to
• 8:55
  have moments, to connect with friends, family, to plan our
• 8:59
  destinies and re strategize. It is a strategy that God has
• 9:03
  given us as a ministry and this has worked wonders in our lives
• 9:07
  and that of the workforce and the membership.
• 9:10
  And for as long as he's not brought any other instruction.
• 9:13
  Otherwise we'll keep working in keeping with this pattern.
• 9:17
  So Koinonia resumes, please mark your calendars 9th of January.
• 9:22
  We'll resume everywhere, all our expressions at the same time,
• 9:25
  powerfully 19th. My apologies of January 2025.
• 9:31
  If you'll be there, shout. I will be there in the name of
• 9:35
  Jesus Christ now during this break to let you know that,
• 9:40
  number one, our media ministry will be active, fully active,
• 9:45
  supplying you with content that will help you.
• 9:48
  So please make sure you engage. We put all of these resources
• 9:52
  for you. So make sure you participate so
• 9:56
  that the media team are motivated to continue to supply
• 10:01
  the content. They will have all kinds of
• 10:03
  reviews. These are our social media
• 10:06
  platforms officially. Please take note of them connect
• 10:10
  to the global platform and also the platform that attends to
• 10:15
  your region so that you can engage profitably during the
• 10:20
  break. Our official correspondence
• 10:22
  channels, social media platforms, our help lines would
• 10:26
  be active fully by the grace of God.
• 10:29
  So do well to contact us should you need any help is displayed
• 10:33
  on your screen and please take note accordingly so that you can
• 10:38
  have the right information. Sometimes people say apostle,
• 10:42
  I've been trying to reach you or trying to reach the ministry.
• 10:46
  I disagree. Anyone who is truly connected to
• 10:49
  this ministry should already have a variety of ways of at
• 10:54
  least getting in contact with our officials, even if not me
• 10:57
  directly. So you can take note of that and
• 11:00
  start from there at least, and then you are able to connect and
• 11:05
  the Lord will bless you as you do that in the name of Jesus
• 11:08
  Christ. Hallelujah.
• 11:13
  So we're going to have a final charge that I'll be bringing to
• 11:17
  us right now. And then afterwards we'll pray,
• 11:21
  I'll speak over our lives, and then we'll have an opportunity
• 11:25
  to sow our end of year sacrifice and then we'll be done.
• 11:30
  I hope that God will grant us grace in the course of the
• 11:35
  teaching. I hope if time allows, we'll
• 11:38
  have a few minutes where we'll just give God praise and
• 11:41
  celebrate him. By the way, it was a great time
• 11:45
  in Zaria when Zaria right from Wednesday and let's give our
• 11:49
  Zaria family a big God bless you was quite an incredible and an
• 11:55
  inspiring time. Father, speak to me and bless me
• 11:59
  by your word. Please open your mouth and make
• 12:02
  sure you are praying. Speak to me.
• 12:06
  Let your word come with power. Let it come with grace.
• 12:12
  Hallelujah. Now I want you to invite
• 12:15
  everyone. For those who are connected
• 12:17
  online, please invite everyone to participate.
• 12:22
  The word of God is about to come and you would need to hear what
• 12:25
  I have to say right now. It's a charge that God put in my
• 12:28
  spirit, and I believe it will minister deeply to you.
• 12:32
  As our final teaching, our final sermon to wrap up this year of
• 12:38
  exceeding great reward. I'm teaching on the topic.
• 12:42
  I caption again, I say rejoice. Philippians chapter 4 and verse
• 12:49
  4, again I say rejoice. It's a prophetic service.
• 12:53
  It's an impartation service. The Lord is going to be
• 12:56
  challenging us in the name of Jesus.
• 13:02
  Philippians 4 and verse 4 says rejoice in the Lord all way and
• 13:07
  again. I say rejoice, Let's read
• 13:09
  together one to go. Rejoice in the Lord all way.
• 13:16
  Some of you are reading from your mind.
• 13:17
  Look now and read what you see there.
• 13:19
  Ready one to go, rejoice in the Lord all way and again.
• 13:26
  Now the subject of joy is a very cardinal subject as far as our
• 13:33
  Kingdom work is concerned. Our work in the Kingdom is like
• 13:40
  a vehicle. It's likened to a car, and a car
• 13:43
  has many components that make that car to move.
• 13:47
  When you examine the reason why a car moves successfully, there
• 13:52
  are many components to that car and sometimes some of the
• 13:55
  components look a lot more important than others.
• 13:59
  For instance, you can have a great car, but if it does not
• 14:02
  have a battery for not having a battery to start it, that car
• 14:06
  may not move. It can have a battery and then
• 14:09
  if it does not have safe fuel, your gas.
• 14:13
  The car will still not move. And if it has gas and sometimes
• 14:17
  you lose your key, but especially if it's not any other
• 14:21
  device aside from the regular key that you turn, it will not
• 14:25
  start. And sometimes the car can start
• 14:28
  but no tires, it will start but not move.
• 14:31
  Are we together? Sometimes you can have the
• 14:33
  Kickstarter faulty tires are fine.
• 14:36
  Every other thing is fine. So sometimes when you are
• 14:39
  discussing the matters of the Kingdom, usually when we isolate
• 14:43
  teachings because we zoom into them, they look like the most
• 14:47
  important thing to focus on at that moment.
• 14:51
  But in truth, every dimension of the Kingdom we focus on, we're
• 14:57
  designed to work in synergy. Are we together in synergy?
• 15:01
  So whether it is finances or we teach on character or we teach
• 15:05
  on love, we teach on spiritual intelligence, warfare.
• 15:09
  All of these are likened to the various components that make
• 15:12
  this vehicle called you, this vehicle called God's program to
• 15:17
  move successfully and like it is for a car.
• 15:21
  Some components look more important than others, others
• 15:24
  look more visible than others, others look more portable than
• 15:28
  others. But you'll be amazed sometimes
• 15:30
  that the silliest of components that go missing it can ground
• 15:34
  the whole car. And some of them are easily
• 15:37
  detectable, especially with modern cars.
• 15:40
  But some of them are not always detectable.
• 15:43
  The mechanics have to go do a search check round, keep very
• 15:47
  fine, very fine until they finally tell you was just a
• 15:50
  fuse. Sometimes for for the the
• 15:54
  absence of a walking few certain components in the car will not
• 15:58
  move. And so discussing this very
• 16:00
  delicate subject is like that, so that you pay very close
• 16:05
  attention to it, because there are many believers.
• 16:07
  Once you are not talking of demons and Satan and maybe
• 16:11
  money, nothing else is really very important.
• 16:15
  Just tell me how to be free from Satan.
• 16:18
  Tell me how to be rich and then that's it any other thing I can
• 16:22
  manage on the go, but you need to be sound in all of these
• 16:26
  dimensions. Hallelujah Joel chapter one will
• 16:29
  read 11:50 Joel chapter 1 from verse 11:50.
• 16:33
  Blessed be the name of the Lord media.
• 16:35
  Let's work together Joel chapter 110 to 12 the Bible.
• 16:42
  Let me pull it from here so that we make progress.
• 16:44
  It says the the the field is wasted and the land monoth.
• 16:50
  It says for the corn is wasted and the new wine is dried up.
• 16:55
  The oil languish at verse 11 it says, be ashamed, O you husband
• 16:59
  mend hall, O you wine dressers for the wheat and for the
• 17:03
  valley, because the harvest of the field is perished.
• 17:07
  Why? Verse 2 the Bible says the vine
• 17:10
  is dried up and the fig tree languish it, the pomegranate
• 17:14
  tree, the palm tree also and the apple tree.
• 17:17
  Even all the trees of the field are withered for the simple
• 17:21
  reason that joy is withered away from the sons of man.
• 17:26
  So when joy is withered from the sons of man, many other things
• 17:30
  go wrong spiritually, many other things go wrong physically, many
• 17:35
  other things go wrong mentally, many other things go wrong even
• 17:39
  financially. Joy seems to hold great value in
• 17:42
  the spirit. It seems to be a very potent
• 17:45
  force that empowers the believer to live and work talk
• 17:49
  victoriously in Nehemiah chapter 8 and verse 10, the B part very
• 17:54
  popular scripture Nehemiah chapter 8 and verse 10, the B
• 17:58
  party says for the joy of the Lord is your strength, shout
• 18:02
  Amen. The joy of the Lord is your
• 18:04
  strength. The joy of the Lord is your
• 18:06
  strength. The joy of the Lord is your
• 18:08
  strength. The joy of the Lord is your
• 18:10
  strength. In Psalm 16 and verse 11, the
• 18:12
  psalmist had this to say. He says Thou will show me the
• 18:16
  path of life. Then he says in thy presence is
• 18:19
  the fullness of joy, and at thy right hand are pleasures
• 18:24
  forevermore. Joy is represented in the
• 18:26
  presence of God. Hallelujah.
• 18:29
  I think it's Isaiah chapter 12 if I'm not mistaken from verse
• 18:33
  three that says with joy, shall you draw therefore with joy,
• 18:37
  Yes, verse 3 shall you draw water out of the wells of
• 18:41
  salvation? So salvation is likened to a
• 18:43
  well and that you use the instrument of joy to draw the
• 18:48
  riches that has come as a result of salvation.
• 18:52
  I pray for you in the name of Jesus Christ that everything
• 18:56
  that has fought your joy, it gives way to night as you listen
• 19:00
  in the name of Jesus Christ. In fact, I think first Peter
• 19:05
  chapter 1. Let's try from verse three.
• 19:08
  First Peter chapter 1 from verse three it says blessed be the God
• 19:13
  and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his
• 19:16
  abundant mercy had begotten us again unto a lively hope by the
• 19:21
  resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
• 19:23
  Let's continue. There's something I'm looking
• 19:24
  for to the inheritance incorruptible and undefiled that
• 19:29
  faded not a way reserved in heaven for you.
• 19:33
  Next verse he says you who are kept by the power of God through
• 19:37
  faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time
• 19:42
  wearing beautiful wearing ye greatly rejoice.
• 19:45
  Pay attention now though now for a season if need be.
• 19:50
  Ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations.
• 19:54
  Verse 7. It says That the trial of your
• 19:57
  faith been much more precious than gold that perisheth, though
• 20:01
  it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise, and honor,
• 20:05
  and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
• 20:08
  Let's shout verse 8 together ready. 1-2 Read.
• 20:12
  Whom have not seen ye love, in whom though now ye see him not
• 20:19
  yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable.
• 20:25
  And full of glory, someone say I will rejoice.
• 20:29
  Hallelujah. Now, very quickly tonight, my
• 20:32
  assignment is to speak to two groups of people.
• 20:35
  And please, I want you to lend me your attention.
• 20:37
  There are two groups of people in this place tonight.
• 20:41
  There are two groups of people connected across the globe as
• 20:44
  far as this subject of joy is concerned #1 there are those who
• 20:50
  have seen and tasted of the goodness of God.
• 20:54
  Write that down, please. I'm speaking to the first group,
• 20:57
  those who have seen and tasted of the goodness of God.
• 21:02
  These are people who throughout this year, for instance, saw the
• 21:06
  Word of God manifest in their lives.
• 21:08
  They saw the power of God. Psalm 34 and verse eight.
• 21:11
  Let me deal with this first group of people very quickly.
• 21:14
  It says all taste and see that the Lord is good.
• 21:18
  Blessed is the man that trusted in him.
• 21:23
  We can taste and we can see. There are a group of people who
• 21:27
  have seen and have tasted of the goodness of God.
• 21:30
  Psalm 107 from verse 31 to 32. Psalm 107 All that man would
• 21:41
  praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful
• 21:46
  walks to the children of men. 32 He says, Let them exalt him also
• 21:51
  in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the
• 21:55
  assembly of the elders. There are such people who have
• 21:58
  seen the manifold walks of God. They have seen the hand of God
• 22:02
  in their lives. Psalm 30.
• 22:05
  Let's read 11 and 12. I'm dealing with two groups of
• 22:08
  people #1 those who have seen and tasted of the goodness of
• 22:12
  God. He said, Thou has turned for me
• 22:15
  my morning into dancing. Thou has put off my sackcloth
• 22:19
  and guarded me with gladness. Verse 12 To the end that my
• 22:23
  glory may sing praise unto you, and not be silent.
• 22:27
  Oh Lord my God, I will give thanks unto you forever.
• 22:34
  Hallelujah. There are such people.
• 22:37
  Genesis chapter 21 and verse 6 has been their testimony.
• 22:41
  The Bible says and Sarah laughed and she said God had made me to
• 22:45
  laugh and all that here will laugh with me.
• 22:48
  The truth is that there are many, many people who have
• 22:51
  experienced the wonder walking power of God.
• 22:54
  There are people who are full of songs of deliverance songs,
• 22:59
  melodies of breakthrough in diverse areas of their lives.
• 23:04
  Hallelujah. These are men and women who have
• 23:11
  engaged the world and have seen it work.
• 23:15
  They have engaged the world, they put their faith to work and
• 23:19
  they saw results. These are men and women who have
• 23:22
  experienced increase across various areas of their lives and
• 23:27
  for some on all sides. They've engaged the world.
• 23:31
  They've seen it produced for them.
• 23:33
  They have experienced increase on all sides.
• 23:36
  These are men and women who, by grace and by God's mercies, have
• 23:40
  got their desires and expectations met.
• 23:45
  What's that Joe Pray song? I've got joy, joy, joy.
• 23:50
  What's that song help? Me Joy, joy, joy, joy overflow
• 23:58
  in my life. I've got joy, joy, joy, joy,
• 24:05
  joy, joy, joy, joy, joy overflow in my life.
• 24:18
  That should be everybody's song. But there are people who have
• 24:22
  really experienced that song. For them, it's not a special
• 24:24
  number. Hallelujah.
• 24:27
  They have seen their desires and expectations met.
• 24:31
  These are people who have seen the performance of the world in
• 24:36
  their lives. These are men and women who have
• 24:40
  seen notable manifestations of God's power.
• 24:43
  They know that God is alive by experience.
• 24:47
  They know that God is alive by the testimonies that have
• 24:51
  followed them. Group number one, those who have
• 24:55
  seen and tasted of the goodness of God.
• 24:59
  Listen, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you this.
• 25:01
  God is a good God and when people release their faith and
• 25:05
  trust Him, His word works. I like the testimony of the dear
• 25:09
  lady as she came to share with her husband on discovering that
• 25:13
  she was pregnant. And then the man too confirmed
• 25:16
  it. He began to shout.
• 25:18
  I don't know how he confirmed it, but he confirmed it.
• 25:22
  That's the most important thing. Hallelujah.
• 25:29
  It is a beautiful thing to see God come through for someone.
• 25:33
  If you have ever seen people suffer in this life, the other
• 25:36
  side of suffering is joy. Have you found yourself
• 25:39
  rejoicing with someone? It's not your testimony, but
• 25:42
  even you have prayed for a manifestation of God's hand, and
• 25:46
  so when you see it happen, you even begin to rejoice.
• 25:51
  Hallelujah. It's a beautiful thing to share
• 25:55
  in the joy of others, especially when you see God move in their
• 25:58
  lives. So there are people who have
• 26:02
  tested that dimension of God's power this year.
• 26:06
  They have seen prophecy come to pass in their lives.
• 26:09
  God has satisfied their longings for such people.
• 26:15
  I have a charge for you tonight. Please listen.
• 26:18
  I'm speaking to two groups of people.
• 26:19
  Group number one, those who have seen and tasted the goodness of
• 26:24
  God and how this ministry belongs to that group or group
• 26:27
  number one, We have seen the manifold hand of God.
• 26:31
  We have seen the goodness of God.
• 26:35
  Is that true? So here is the charge, the
• 26:39
  charge for those people #1 meditate on His goodness and
• 26:45
  give Him extravagant praise and thanks.
• 26:49
  This is my first charge to those people that you have seen God
• 26:52
  come through for you. You pray and He answered, and
• 26:56
  your hands obtain the answer. The first charge for you is
• 27:00
  meditate. Don't just start singing and
• 27:03
  saying thank you. If you don't do it with
• 27:05
  understanding, it will not be real.
• 27:07
  Meditate on His goodness. When you meditate on the
• 27:36
  goodness of God, how the school fees came, the goodness of God,
• 27:40
  how you move from a tenant to a landlord, the goodness of God,
• 27:45
  how joblessness of 10 years terminated, barrenness of years
• 27:49
  and decades terminated, it's important to count your
• 27:53
  blessings. You really cannot be thankful
• 27:56
  until you apply intelligence to it.
• 27:59
  Count your blessings, Hallelujah that God who is able to take a
• 28:04
  man from a lowly state and place that man to sit among Princess
• 28:08
  God for you. When you think of the goodness
• 28:11
  of God, are we together? Some of you stepped into this
• 28:15
  city this year and you were moving around as if you were
• 28:18
  missing, but God himself began to settle you and look where you
• 28:23
  are right now, the mercy and the goodness of God.
• 28:27
  How about those who got into trouble?
• 28:29
  January 1 started with trouble. You were already afraid, not
• 28:33
  even wanting February to come, but you are still standing by
• 28:36
  December, giving God praise, not just managing to give God
• 28:40
  praise. You have evidences, testaments
• 28:43
  of His goodness. Hallelujah to those people who
• 28:50
  have enjoyed the message of God that far.
• 28:53
  Charge #1 meditate on his goodness and give him
• 28:57
  extravagant praise and thanks, not careless praise.
• 29:02
  Are we together that you think about the things that he has
• 29:05
  done. You count your blessings,
• 29:08
  possibly name them one by one, and the hymn writer says it will
• 29:12
  surprise you what God has done #2 The second charge that I'm
• 29:20
  giving this group of people who have really seen the mighty
• 29:23
  power of God this year, allow your testimonies to build your
• 29:28
  faith and your trust in God. Don't just waste your
• 29:31
  experiences. Use your testimonies and your
• 29:34
  results as a tool to further build your faith and your trust
• 29:39
  in God. When David stood before Goliath,
• 29:43
  David drew from the victories of yesterday.
• 29:46
  He said God who delivered the lion, God who delivered the
• 29:50
  beer. It is the same God who is going
• 29:53
  to grant me victory over this uncircumcised Philistine.
• 29:58
  Every time God does you good, every time God opens doors,
• 30:02
  every time God lifts mountains away from your Rd. opens up
• 30:06
  doors, break gates and bars and grants you entry to a higher
• 30:11
  dimension of life and destiny. You must use allow your
• 30:16
  testimonies to build your faith and your trust in God.
• 30:20
  Look at this, Let me teach you something about God.
• 30:23
  The higher God reveals His power and glory in your life, the
• 30:28
  stricter he expects that you trust him.
• 30:30
  If I, if you understand what I just said, are we together now?
• 30:33
  Yes, there are certain levels of distrust.
• 30:37
  If I show God now with respect to my work with God, it is seen
• 30:42
  because the more you are exposed to certain levels of his power,
• 30:46
  His bar of expectation over you also grows.
• 30:50
  That means there are some cry. You should not cry again.
• 30:52
  God will say, but I've tried for you.
• 30:54
  I've shown you too much for you to cry like someone who has
• 30:58
  never seen the hand of God. There is a way an unbeliever
• 31:01
  cries. There is a way baby Christian
• 31:03
  who has not seen the hand of God cries.
• 31:05
  And God will accommodate that limitation because they are yet
• 31:10
  to build confidence. They are yet to taste and see.
• 31:13
  But when you have journeyed with God a bit and you have seen his
• 31:16
  faithfulness, that's why you can you can laugh even in the midst
• 31:19
  of storms, because what He did yesterday, you are still drawing
• 31:23
  from the residue of His faithfulness.
• 31:26
  Are you learning now? Every manifestation of God's
• 31:31
  power, every answered prayer, every result must be converted
• 31:36
  as a tool that builds your faith and builds your trust, Job said.
• 31:41
  I'm in a situation that may not be favorable, but though he slay
• 31:45
  me, I will trust Him. He has done something for me
• 31:48
  before. I may be in pain, but I have
• 31:50
  that understanding who is learning now?
• 31:52
  Every time God moves in your life, don't just celebrate and
• 31:56
  dance and rejoice. Use the results.
• 32:00
  Are we together converted as a tool to further build your
• 32:04
  faith? Every time I see God move in
• 32:13
  this ministry in my life, I return with gratitude.
• 32:17
  But then I further builds my faith again that if he did it
• 32:21
  before, he's able to do it again, or if he started it, he's
• 32:26
  able to finish. Is that all?
• 32:28
  Yeah, so #1 for those who have seen the mighty hand of God,
• 32:34
  meditate on His goodness. Give Him extravagant praise and
• 32:37
  thanks to allow your testimonies to build your faith and your
• 32:42
  trust in God #3 what is the third charge to these ones who
• 32:47
  have seen God manifest His power in their lives?
• 32:50
  You must testify to the goodness of God in the congregation of
• 32:54
  God's people, testify of God's goodness.
• 32:57
  It matters that you speak. It matters that you tell the
• 33:01
  world that he's alive through your life.
• 33:04
  It matters that the world knows through your life and through
• 33:07
  your testimony that he's a restorer, that he's a deliverer,
• 33:11
  that he lifts men. Indeed, do you know every
• 33:14
  testimony is a sermon to someone?
• 33:17
  Every testimony. There are people who come to
• 33:21
  church and honestly speaking, even before the world comes,
• 33:25
  sometimes they are downcast, discouraged, and here comes one
• 33:29
  testimony with fire upon the altar, sometimes humorously
• 33:33
  communicated, but while everybody is laughing, someone
• 33:36
  is nodding, and someone is even saying, Lord, I'm sorry, finally
• 33:39
  I've gotten my word. Even before the man of God
• 33:42
  comes, I've gotten my word. This is it.
• 33:45
  Every time you fail to testify of God's goodness, you rob
• 33:49
  somebody an opportunity to see what else God can do.
• 33:52
  Every time you fail to testify, are we together?
• 33:55
  Do you know that the testimony of Jesus, the Bible says, is the
• 33:59
  spirit of prophecy? The meaning of that is that
• 34:01
  whilst people listen to you, they are listening for the
• 34:04
  things that you did with God that brought that result.
• 34:08
  Are we together? It plans faith within their
• 34:10
  heart to go and replicate the same thing.
• 34:17
  It's important to share, let the world know.
• 34:21
  The reason why we believe in Jesus.
• 34:23
  Number one is because the Holy Spirit has dealt in every one of
• 34:28
  us a measure of faith. But #2 the Bible is a compendium
• 34:32
  of many workings of God. Are we together?
• 34:35
  It is because of the miracles that are written.
• 34:38
  We know that He's able to turn water to wine because we saw it.
• 34:41
  It was documented. We were not there there.
• 34:44
  The Bible says the things that are written are for time, that
• 34:47
  they are written for our learning, our learning, our
• 34:52
  learning. If you ask yourself, can God
• 34:55
  come through for me financially? You go to the Bible.
• 34:58
  Did He ever come through for someone as such?
• 35:00
  Can God heal my body? He refers you to Hezekiah.
• 35:05
  Are we together now? Is God able to restore?
• 35:08
  He refers you to Job. Is God able to restore someone
• 35:11
  who is backslidden and has gone left the way of the Lord?
• 35:15
  He refers you to something. There is always a testimony in
• 35:19
  the Bible, New Testament, Old Testament, the life of Jesus,
• 35:23
  the life of the apostles. Are we together now?
• 35:27
  So it's important to add your own testimony to help build the
• 35:32
  faith and build the confidence of God's people.
• 35:35
  Now, I understand that sometimes because of the complexity of
• 35:39
  certain testimonies and for security reasons, it is wise to
• 35:43
  be able to manage how you share. That is, that is fine.
• 35:46
  Everything must be done in wisdom.
• 35:48
  The Bible says wisdom is a principal thing.
• 35:50
  Are we together? There are some testimonies that
• 35:55
  is better to tell the man of God.
• 35:57
  Let him pray for you quietly in the office because a crowd of
• 36:01
  people, a global community is a mixed multitude.
• 36:05
  When the sons of God gathered, Satan was there in the amazed
• 36:09
  and God isolated him and said, what are you doing here?
• 36:11
  Where are you coming from? From toe and fro, are we
• 36:14
  together? So there are people truly who
• 36:17
  have gotten into trouble because they testified.
• 36:20
  God gave me a great breakthrough.
• 36:23
  And as I stand here right now, I receive 100 or 200 million naira
• 36:28
  every month and everybody just claps and someone says snap zoom
• 36:31
  that face. Where did he say he stays?
• 36:35
  He said my house is not even far, just near CBN.
• 36:38
  OK, that's right. And then by Monday, someone
• 36:41
  comes and says, Calvary, greetings.
• 36:44
  We are from Koinonia. Our core value is love.
• 36:50
  Olga, we're in trouble. We're in trouble.
• 36:53
  Don't even start saying you don't have money.
• 36:56
  We heard you were there first. We came to congratulate you on
• 36:59
  behalf of our family. Apostle can't reach you
• 37:01
  directly, but we are here on his behalf and we have been taught
• 37:06
  that you don't see a man of God empty handed.
• 37:10
  So sometimes, quite honestly, for the safety and security and
• 37:15
  the complexity, sometimes it's really not just about money and
• 37:19
  fear, but the sensitivity of the discussion.
• 37:22
  It mandates that people manage with wisdom.
• 37:24
  But I'm speaking generally that all other factors being
• 37:27
  constant, it is a wise, godly and profitable thing to give
• 37:32
  thanks to the Lord in the midst of His people.
• 37:35
  Someone shout, I will testify. That means you are prophesying
• 37:39
  that your testimony should come in a hurry.
• 37:40
  Say it again, I will testify. So you testify of the goodness
• 37:46
  of God. The charge number 41.
• 37:50
  Meditate and give thanks to testify.
• 37:53
  Allow your testimonies to build your faith #3 testify of the
• 37:58
  goodness of God. Are you ready for number 4?
• 38:00
  Use your resolves to draw many to Jesus.
• 38:04
  You must use your resolves to draw many to Jesus.
• 38:09
  Let me tell you the truth in the Kingdom eventually, regardless
• 38:15
  what God has done in your life, regardless in what form of
• 38:18
  fashion it came, if it does not translate to drawing many to
• 38:24
  Jesus, then your testimony and your result did not hold great
• 38:28
  value in the Spirit. Are we together?
• 38:30
  So if you tell me you bought a car or you were promoted or you
• 38:34
  went abroad, great testimony, congratulations.
• 38:37
  But you see the profit point of that testimony is who comes to
• 38:42
  know Jesus as a result of this, whose life is convinced,
• 38:46
  convicted and drawn to Jesus. Daniel chapter 12 and verse 3.
• 38:50
  Powerful scripture. The Bible says that they that be
• 38:53
  wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament day,
• 38:58
  that turn many, not few, many to righteousness.
• 39:02
  They shall be as the stars forever.
• 39:04
  I'm praying over someone in the name of Jesus.
• 39:07
  The kinds of testimonies you'll begin to see from today.
• 39:10
  Let it be so compelling it will draw multitudes to Jesus.
• 39:16
  An example of this is found in John chapter 4.
• 39:18
  So Jesus is at the well looking for a drink, and then he meets a
• 39:23
  woman. Help that Lady please.
• 39:24
  And then he meets a woman at the well.
• 39:27
  And according to that discussion, we know that that
• 39:29
  woman had five husbands and the one she currently was with was
• 39:34
  not even her husband. You can imagine that woman
• 39:36
  situation. Now.
• 39:37
  Jesus came to ask for a drink. Historically, the Samaritans and
• 39:42
  the Jews did not have anything in common.
• 39:44
  In those days you could identify people by their dialects, their
• 39:49
  accent, or their dressing. Their manner of dressing would
• 39:52
  tell you if they were Jews, they were Gentiles, or they were
• 39:55
  hedonistic people. It was one of the ways you could
• 39:58
  identify them. So the woman looks at Jesus and
• 40:01
  now Jesus is asking for a drink and she surprise knowing that
• 40:04
  Samaritans and Jews did not have anything in common.
• 40:07
  Jesus, why are you interested in my situation?
• 40:10
  Then they began to engage. Eventually she discerned that he
• 40:13
  was a prophet and began to ask him issues around matters of
• 40:17
  worship. And Jesus said, where is your
• 40:19
  husband? Go and call your husband said,
• 40:20
  oh, I have no husband. Five stories.
• 40:23
  The 5th, 6th, 1 is not my husband.
• 40:25
  And he said truly you are sincere.
• 40:27
  And the Bible says at the end of it, she left her water pots
• 40:30
  there and she ran into the city and she announced to the people.
• 40:35
  The Bible says she told the people, come see a man.
• 40:39
  Hey, come see a man. Testimony which told me all
• 40:44
  things that I've ever done. Is this not the Christ?
• 40:48
  Her testimony and her witness was so compelling.
• 40:51
  The truth is that the people did not take her seriously.
• 40:54
  Apparently they had concluded that this woman, anytime you see
• 40:57
  her, she's not somebody to pay attention to.
• 41:00
  But her witness was so compelling.
• 41:02
  The Bible says they followed her and came to Jesus.
• 41:05
  And now when they listen to Jesus, you know what they said?
• 41:09
  They said, Now we believe not just because you told us.
• 41:13
  We have seen him, we have heard him ourselves.
• 41:16
  So she drew them to Jesus. Same thing happened with the
• 41:19
  madman in Gatherer. He was delivered from a legion
• 41:23
  of devils. And then the Bible tells us that
• 41:27
  he went with Dicapolis, 10 cities, single handedly as one
• 41:31
  man, 10 cities declaring the goodness of God.
• 41:35
  It matters that people get to know Jesus.
• 41:38
  It matters that they get to know he's a good God, that he's
• 41:42
  faithful. And ultimately as many as can
• 41:46
  surrender their lives to Jesus on account of your testimony.
• 41:50
  Let me tell you this, if you make a commitment that As for
• 41:55
  you souls will continue to be worn through your testimonies,
• 41:59
  then you have signed an agreement in the spirit for an
• 42:02
  unending journey of science and wonders.
• 42:06
  I can tell you this for free. Everything that leads to the
• 42:10
  salvation of souls, especially God is interested in it.
• 42:14
  You don't need to ask if it's the will of God.
• 42:17
  First Thessalonians chapter 2 and verse 4 already tells you
• 42:20
  that God desires that all men be saved.
• 42:24
  All men be saved. Is it?
• 42:25
  Is it two or Second Thessalonians or First?
• 42:28
  Please find it for me that all men be saved and that they come
• 42:32
  on to the knowledge of the truth.
• 42:35
  All men be saved and that they come on to the knowledge.
• 42:39
  Chapter 2 and verse four He has he wants first Timothy, my
• 42:44
  apologies, not Thessalonians Timothy, first Timothy 24 who
• 42:48
  will have all men to be saved. So there's no point asking Lord,
• 42:52
  is it your will? The only thing you need to ask
• 42:54
  is the timing and the strategy. But whether or not it is the
• 42:58
  will of God, it is clearly stated that it is God's desire.
• 43:03
  Does God want your boss to be saved?
• 43:05
  Yes, Sir. Your husband, Yes, Sir, your
• 43:08
  wife, Yes, your children, Yes. He desires that all men be saved
• 43:14
  and that they come on to the knowledge of the truth.
• 43:17
  That means every evidence he needs to lavish in your life
• 43:21
  that will cause you to have great witness or greater witness
• 43:25
  and can tell you that the God of heaven will be glad to make that
• 43:28
  happen. Acts chapter 4 and verse 33, it
• 43:31
  says with great power give the apostles witness of the
• 43:35
  resurrection of the Lord Jesus and great grace was upon them
• 43:39
  all. For the sake of many who need to
• 43:45
  be saved, I'm praying for you in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 43:49
  May your life be an unending flow of testimonies.
• 43:54
  I was so touched by the testimony of our dear, our dear
• 43:59
  sister, that Lady who came to share Hallelujah, very powerful
• 44:05
  testimony. Look, the kind of life.
• 44:07
  And in one moment, sitting in her room encountered the power
• 44:10
  and the glory of God, and that began a journey to
• 44:13
  transformation. This is Jesus for you.
• 44:15
  Are we together? Now imagine how many other
• 44:19
  people are in the loins of prophecy waiting for your
• 44:22
  testimony. So for the first group of
• 44:29
  people, this is my charge to you.
• 44:31
  Now, the second group of people, there are two groups of people I
• 44:34
  said I'm talking about with respect to our discussion on
• 44:38
  joy. Those who are yet to see the
• 44:40
  promises of God manifest in their lives.
• 44:43
  I want to speak to those people because in all honesty, there
• 44:47
  are people that everything I'm saying now, while you are
• 44:50
  smiling, while you are laughing, while we are singing, there are
• 44:52
  people who are seated quietly. All they want to hear is the
• 44:55
  grace so that they'll go home. Because as it is right now,
• 44:59
  there is nothing that makes sense to them.
• 45:02
  They had to their spirit had to drag their body to church.
• 45:07
  Those who are yet to see the promises of God manifest in
• 45:10
  their lives, who are these ones? These are the ones, in all
• 45:14
  honesty, who are currently discouraged because of the
• 45:18
  tragedies and the negative happenings in their lives.
• 45:22
  I confess to you as a man of God that have dealt with situations
• 45:25
  in the lives of people both sweet and sour.
• 45:27
  There have been wonderful testimonies that you'll be proud
• 45:30
  of as a man of God. Every man of God wants to hear
• 45:33
  that His people are doing well. Great testimonies, loving Jesus,
• 45:36
  making progress. Unfortunately, from a pragmatic
• 45:40
  standpoint, is not always like that.
• 45:43
  Sometimes, on one hand, you are celebrating the arrival of the
• 45:46
  child, concurrently you are celebrating the departure of
• 45:49
  another person. You are celebrating mighty
• 45:51
  healings, whereas you are praying for someone who is
• 45:54
  currently in ICU. Are we together now?
• 45:57
  I'm speaking to such people. Someone listening to me tonight
• 46:01
  is thoroughly discouraged already because of the tragedies
• 46:05
  and the negative happenings in their lives this year.
• 46:08
  Perhaps your family from 1 Pain after another.
• 46:12
  It looked like every quarter of this year delivered a measure of
• 46:16
  pain, a measure of disappointment.
• 46:18
  Who are these people? Those who have experienced
• 46:21
  failure and disappointments this year?
• 46:24
  For some, repeatedly. By January, they.
• 46:27
  Thought that ah, I will finally get the job much.
• 46:30
  I will finally get the job and until now, no job, no money, no
• 46:34
  opportunity The rent problem is still there, the health problem
• 46:38
  is still there. I still have a word for you.
• 46:40
  Who are this second group of people, those who have suffered
• 46:44
  on account of their faith in God.
• 46:46
  There are such people that. There's are not a self.
• 46:51
  Inflicted problem. I'm just giving perspective to
• 46:53
  this second group of people. Those who are yet to see the
• 46:56
  promises of God manifest in their lives.
• 46:59
  The ones who are discouraged because of tragedies.
• 47:02
  The ones who have experienced failure and disappointments.
• 47:06
  The ones who have suffered and are currently suffering on
• 47:10
  account of their faith. Look up please.
• 47:13
  There are people this year who would have been
• 47:15
  multimillionaires if only they added 10.
• 47:18
  How many zeros? 101 Quiet 0 there would have
• 47:24
  been that zero you added would have been your own.
• 47:27
  And you know when you add 0 from behind, that's real profit. 0
• 47:31
  from any zero before 1 is not good, but any zero after one.
• 47:38
  Are we together now? There are people who had the
• 47:41
  opportunity. You are the only one who knows
• 47:44
  how much, how much money came into the company.
• 47:47
  You are the only one who would have signed it, and you would
• 47:50
  have done it quietly and. You would have given some of
• 47:54
  you. Say would have given God you
• 47:57
  would have. Given God part of.
• 47:59
  It at least to appease him and yet on account of integrity you
• 48:06
  refused. And like one of the testifiers
• 48:09
  said, after he refused to compromise, he thought
• 48:12
  everything would work fine. And you see that it didn't
• 48:16
  happen that way. It's very painful when you trust
• 48:18
  God and think the answer will come like Shadrach, Meshach and
• 48:21
  Abednego for you. The fire now burnt you.
• 48:25
  At least the guys were. Delivered by you, you.
• 48:26
  Were now roasted into the fire. Hallelujah.
• 48:34
  There are people who right now have.
• 48:35
  Suffered on account of their faith.
• 48:38
  There are those who have totally lost hope.
• 48:40
  How about those who prayed over their loved ones, trusting that
• 48:45
  they will live and eventually they died?
• 48:47
  Do you know how painful that is to trust God?
• 48:50
  You are releasing your faith, especially when you are having
• 48:52
  dreams and visions of supernatural manifestations.
• 48:56
  That means you are saying, I see, I, I, I had a dream and I
• 48:59
  saw that finally maybe this my, my brother, my father, my
• 49:03
  sister, my colleague. And then eventually you hear
• 49:06
  that this person has passed on. How do you explain that?
• 49:12
  People can lose hope. In the face of these kinds of
• 49:16
  situations, those who trusted God, for instance, that you will
• 49:20
  come through for them financially and they vowed that
• 49:24
  they would not eat on the table of Bell.
• 49:26
  And for some of them up until now, in fact, some of them have
• 49:29
  all kinds of court summons right now.
• 49:31
  And if God does not step in for them, perhaps they are going to
• 49:34
  jail. I submit to you that waiting for
• 49:38
  the manifestation of God's promises in your life,
• 49:41
  especially when you trust Him sincerely, can be very painful
• 49:44
  and sometimes for many, discouraging.
• 49:47
  Are we together? Who are these second group of
• 49:51
  people? Those who are currently angry
• 49:53
  and offended at God, I can tell you there are people like that.
• 49:57
  They are not angry because they are bad.
• 49:59
  They are angry because it looks like they have waited and waited
• 50:03
  and they've been disappointed. Let me show you 3 scriptures to
• 50:06
  comfort you. If you belong to any one of
• 50:08
  these categories and if you are falling online or maybe your
• 50:11
  husband, your wife, call them and say I possibly speaking to
• 50:14
  you by the Spirit. You need to listen to this to
• 50:16
  comfort you. Are we together?
• 50:18
  Let's start with Ha Habakkuk chapter 3.
• 50:21
  Please. Habakkuk chapter 3.
• 50:24
  Give us verse 7. Habakkuk.
• 50:28
  Chapter 3. Is it 17?
• 50:30
  I think I missed 117 to 19 though the fig tree may not
• 50:33
  blossom. Help me please.
• 50:35
  Thank you. Although verse 17 Habakkuk 317
• 50:38
  to 19. Although the fig tree shall not
• 50:41
  blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vine.
• 50:45
  Listen carefully. The labour of the olives shall
• 50:48
  fail and the fields will have no meat.
• 50:51
  The flock shall be cut off from the fold and there shall be no
• 50:55
  herd in the stalls. Yet I will rejoice, I will joy
• 51:01
  in the God of my salvation. Verse 19.
• 51:04
  He says, The Lord is my strength, and he will make my
• 51:08
  feet like Hinds feet. He will make me to walk upon my
• 51:11
  high places. Say Amen.
• 51:13
  Second Scripture. Job chapter 1 from verse 20 to
• 51:17
  22 when tragedy struck Job and it looked like his wall crumbled
• 51:24
  in a moment, in fact in a day according to scripture, the
• 51:27
  Bible says then Job, then Job on hearing all of this news
• 51:32
  back-to-back as one person was done telling him while he was
• 51:36
  absorbing it. Do you know, I don't know, took
• 51:39
  that one, one person telling you your children are dead, only one
• 51:43
  left. Another person coming to tell
• 51:45
  you this and this. And the Bible says verse 20, Job
• 51:48
  chapter 120. Then Job arose and rent his
• 51:52
  mantle, his cloth, and shaved his bed and fell down upon the
• 51:57
  ground. I like this.
• 51:59
  And worshiped and worshiped. Not uncomplained, not
• 52:03
  ungrumbled, not uncommitted suicide and worshiped. 21 and
• 52:10
  said naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I
• 52:14
  return. The Lord gave the Lord her taken
• 52:16
  away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
• 52:18
  Verse 22. The Bible says in all these job
• 52:22
  seen not nor charged God foolishly.
• 52:26
  Read that again. One to go In all these job seen
• 52:31
  not nor charged God foolishly there are.
• 52:36
  Times. That your joy can so deplete and
• 52:41
  you don't. Even have the energy to.
• 52:43
  Continue one more scripture Psalm 43 one to five very
• 52:48
  profound scripture. Psalm 43 Judge me, O God, and
• 52:53
  plead my cause against an ungodly nation, or deliver me
• 52:57
  from the deceitful and unjust man we are reading to five verse
• 53:00
  2 For thou art the God of my strength.
• 53:03
  He said, Why has thou cast me off?
• 53:07
  Why go? I'm mourning.
• 53:08
  Because of the oppression of the enemy.
• 53:11
  Verse three. Or send out Thy light out of Thy
• 53:14
  and Thy truth. It says, Let them lead me, Let
• 53:18
  them bring me onto Thy holy hill and to Thy Tabernacle.
• 53:21
  Verse 4 Then I will go onto the altar of God.
• 53:27
  Unto God, my exceeding joy. Yeah, upon the harp I will
• 53:32
  praise Thee, Oh God my God. Shout verse 5 together.
• 53:35
  Are you ready one to go? Why are thou cast down all my
• 53:40
  soul, and why are thou disquieted within me?
• 53:44
  It says hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him who is the health
• 53:50
  of my countenance and my God. I have a charge for these ones,
• 53:56
  and my charge tonight happens to be a recap of something that I
• 54:00
  have taught you. I want to just minister to those
• 54:03
  people and then we'll proceed further.
• 54:07
  I read a scripture preparing. I was having my devotion and the
• 54:12
  Spirit of God just led me to read that scripture and I
• 54:15
  decided to add it to these notes.
• 54:17
  It's in First Samuel chapter 30. Very popular story but we just
• 54:21
  caught from verse one to six. The Bible says and it came to.
• 54:27
  Pass when David and his men were come to Ziglag on the third day
• 54:33
  that the Amalekites had invaded the South and Ziglag had smitten
• 54:38
  Ziglag. And burned it with fire.
• 54:43
  We're reading to verse 6. And taken the women captive, and
• 54:48
  were there in They slew not any, neither great nor small, but
• 54:53
  carried them away and went on their way.
• 54:55
  Follow the story, verse 3. So David and his men came to the
• 54:59
  city and behold, it was born with fire, and their wives and
• 55:05
  their sons and their daughters were taken captive.
• 55:08
  That's 4. Then David and the people that
• 55:11
  were there with him lifted up their voice.
• 55:13
  The Bible says they wept until they had no more power to weep.
• 55:19
  Look at that Scripture. I hope you know that these
• 55:21
  people were warriors, the Bible says.
• 55:23
  But when they came and found out their wives had been taken,
• 55:26
  David, his two wives, like you'll be learning, had been
• 55:29
  taken away. Are we together now?
• 55:31
  And I mean everything had just, they taken their children, they
• 55:35
  literally had burned down the city.
• 55:37
  The Bible says they wept until they had no more power to weep.
• 55:44
  Verse 5 and. David's two wives.
• 55:48
  Were taken captive ahinuwam the jezretis or something like that?
• 55:54
  Yeah, Jezretitis. Did I get that right?
• 55:57
  And a big girl, the wife of Nabal, the Carmelite, two of his
• 56:03
  wives, they were taken away. Verse 6, the Bible says.
• 56:07
  And David was greatly distressed for the people speak of stoning
• 56:12
  him. If you are a leader, pray that
• 56:15
  your organization doesn't get into trouble because these guys
• 56:19
  were now blaming him. Are we together?
• 56:22
  And they were going to stone him because of the soul of the
• 56:26
  people that it was grieved. The Bible says every man for his
• 56:30
  sons and for his daughters. Here's where we were all to
• 56:33
  London. Listen.
• 56:35
  But David encouraged himself. Say that again.
• 56:41
  But David encouraged himself the Bible.
• 56:46
  Does not say David was. Encouraged David.
• 56:50
  Encouraged himself, David. Encouraged.
• 56:55
  Himself. And it's from this Scripture
• 56:58
  that I want to give you a charge.
• 56:59
  I have given a charge to those who have seen the well doings of
• 57:03
  God in their lives. Let this be a charge for someone
• 57:06
  who is discouraged, downcast, perplexed, in fear, and you are
• 57:12
  saying, is this how I'm going to end the year?
• 57:14
  I trusted God, I release my faith.
• 57:17
  All I see around me is death. All I see around me is trouble,
• 57:20
  calamity, depletion, and all of that.
• 57:23
  Here is a word for you #1 I make a recap from my teaching.
• 57:28
  Beauty for Ashes 1. Remain conscious of the love of
• 57:33
  God towards you. This is a powerful advice.
• 57:37
  Are we together now? Remain conscious every time you
• 57:41
  don't understand God, Remain conscious of the love of God
• 57:46
  towards you honestly. In our faith work, there are.
• 57:50
  Times that it looks like God. God may look mysterious things
• 57:55
  happen around and you are saying, God, where are you?
• 57:57
  Where are you when my mother died?
• 57:59
  Where are you when this pastor died?
• 58:02
  You heard the testimony again, I make reference to the testimony
• 58:04
  of this dear lady. She said she came from a
• 58:07
  Christian background and was not interested in church nor church
• 58:10
  people was a very honest admission.
• 58:13
  And that was on account of the fact that she saw perhaps her
• 58:16
  parents or people around her. It's painful to see people serve
• 58:20
  God sincerely with integrity, and yet sometimes not.
• 58:25
  You see the reward of evil men following those who fear God
• 58:28
  sincerely. Sometimes it can be a very
• 58:31
  complicated scenario, but I tell you, if you find yourself in any
• 58:35
  of such conditions, my charge to you, number one, is remain
• 58:39
  conscious of the love of God towards you.
• 58:43
  Romans chapter 8 and verse 32. Romans 832.
• 58:48
  Romans. Chapter 8 and verse. 32 The
• 58:52
  Bible says, Oh dear, please search for me.
• 58:55
  What shall separate us from the love of God?
• 58:57
  That's the scripture I want. Please look for it for me
• 58:59
  quickly. Media.
• 59:01
  What shall separate us from the love of God?
• 59:05
  Oh beautiful. 35 not 32 Who shall separate us, it says, from
• 59:10
  the love of Christ? Help me shall tribulation or
• 59:15
  distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril,
• 59:22
  or the sword. 36 He says, as it is written, For thy sake we are
• 59:27
  killed all the day we are accounted as sheep for the
• 59:31
  slaughter. Verse 37 he says Nay, I like
• 59:35
  this in all these things we are more than conquerors through
• 59:40
  God. That when it has to do with
• 59:43
  confidence in the midst of the storm, it is the love of God
• 59:47
  that becomes an anchor for you. I may not understand the storm
• 59:51
  that you're going through, but there's one thing I can tell
• 59:54
  you, God loves you. Someone say God loves me.
• 59:57
  I know that is difficult to understand.
• 59:59
  You may not even believe what you just said, but say it with
• 1:00:02
  me. Say God loves me.
• 1:00:05
  Apostle, are you? Saying I should say.
• 1:00:06
  That I saw my father die. I saw my mother die.
• 1:00:10
  I saw righteousness not rewarded.
• 1:00:13
  I saw integrity. I paid the price because of
• 1:00:16
  integrity. I would have compromised in my
• 1:00:19
  office. I would have been promoted.
• 1:00:21
  But on account of my integrity, I am still right here.
• 1:00:23
  I prayed, I fasted. As soon as I was done with the
• 1:00:27
  21 day fasting, an attack came that same night.
• 1:00:33
  Remain conscious of the love of God.
• 1:00:34
  Towards you, you see, every time you remember what Jesus went
• 1:00:39
  through for your sake and for my sake.
• 1:00:43
  It may not immediately solve the problem, but it becomes a
• 1:00:46
  consolation that if He went that far for you, then he can still
• 1:00:51
  go as far to see that victory is established in your life.
• 1:00:55
  Is someone learning now? Remain conscious of the love of
• 1:00:58
  God, that even when you do not understand what is happening,
• 1:01:02
  you can say, Lord, I love you and I know you love me too.
• 1:01:07
  I rest in the fact that you love me.
• 1:01:11
  I remember someone who lost, I think.
• 1:01:13
  Maybe his mother also, this was maybe a few weeks ago and the
• 1:01:17
  person sent a text and you know, I understood the person's pain
• 1:01:21
  sent a text. I was saying apostle, why?
• 1:01:24
  Why I sent text messages to men of God whose graces I respect.
• 1:01:30
  I sent text messages to this. I quoted scripture.
• 1:01:33
  And you know, I think the people, if I'm right with the
• 1:01:35
  story, they even took the boldness to ask for the dead
• 1:01:39
  body, the cops, and allowed for some time releasing their faith.
• 1:01:43
  And honestly, as a man of God, I can tell you, I know a bit of
• 1:01:47
  what faith is and what those people did.
• 1:01:49
  There is faith. You know, I've been, I've prayed
• 1:01:51
  for many dead bodies. So it's not everyone that's come
• 1:01:54
  back to life. I've prayed for many dead
• 1:01:56
  bodies. I don't want to remind you of
• 1:02:00
  the story. But just believe that I prayed
• 1:02:03
  for many dead bodies. Imagine.
• 1:02:06
  Standing in a room where you are the only.
• 1:02:07
  One who is alive. Only one who is alive.
• 1:02:12
  And you lay. Hands and you are laying.
• 1:02:14
  Hands on. It's as if you are laying hands
• 1:02:16
  on a stone. I prayed once, prayed twice, and
• 1:02:19
  I started thinking about my own life.
• 1:02:21
  Honestly, instead of wasting my time, I used it as an
• 1:02:24
  opportunity to encourage myself. So one day, if Christ tarries.
• 1:02:34
  If you have ever seen a dead body.
• 1:02:36
  You will celebrate resurrection. Are we together?
• 1:02:40
  A dead body and bound is like stone.
• 1:02:43
  When Jesus said Lazarus come out.
• 1:02:45
  Respect that miracle. Three days.
• 1:02:47
  No, I'm praying. That before Christ?
• 1:02:51
  Returns that the church are fresh in as much as we're
• 1:02:55
  talking about joy here. In this case in the midst of
• 1:02:57
  storms, but we're praying that God will trust us with higher
• 1:03:01
  levels of genuine resurrection power, that there will be such
• 1:03:07
  spectacular demonstrations of his resurrection power.
• 1:03:10
  I believe in my lifetime it will happen in the name of Jesus
• 1:03:14
  Christ. Praise the name of the Lord so
• 1:03:23
  #1 for such people who are in a state of despair, anger against
• 1:03:29
  God, discouragement. You are about to leave church
• 1:03:32
  because nothing of God makes sense to you.
• 1:03:36
  It looks like those who trust God and those who don't,
• 1:03:39
  eventually their results are the same.
• 1:03:41
  He said. Why is my soul cast down?
• 1:03:43
  My first charge for you is remain conscious of the love of
• 1:03:46
  God #2I taught you whilst I was teaching you the topic Beauty
• 1:03:51
  for ashes that you should always hope for.
• 1:03:54
  And this is my second charge. Always hope for and expect God's
• 1:03:58
  best in everything. Always hopeful.
• 1:04:03
  Always hopeful even against hope.
• 1:04:06
  Abraham believed in hope. Always hopeful.
• 1:04:10
  And expect God's best in everything.
• 1:04:14
  Always hopeful. Psalm 42 and verse 5.
• 1:04:19
  Always hopeful and expect God's best in everything.
• 1:04:25
  Write that scripture as a reference.
• 1:04:26
  Why are thou cast down my soul? Why are thou disquieted in me?
• 1:04:31
  He says, Hope thou, hope thou in the Lord, for I shall yet praise
• 1:04:37
  him, because he's the help of my countenance.
• 1:04:42
  Remember I taught you that there are three.
• 1:04:44
  Levels of hope. Let me refresh your
• 1:04:46
  understanding, number one, that there is hope that the.
• 1:04:50
  Situation the. Negative situation will change
• 1:04:53
  you. Remember that.
• 1:04:54
  That's the first level of hope. So you are engaging hope,
• 1:04:58
  believing that the situation will change #2 there is hope in
• 1:05:04
  the midst of the situation against all hope.
• 1:05:09
  That means you are releasing your faith that the tragedy
• 1:05:12
  never arrives #2 now that the tragedy is there, you are
• 1:05:16
  trusting God in the midst of it, that it will end up in praise.
• 1:05:20
  And the third kind of hope is called eternal hope.
• 1:05:24
  That is hope beyond discouragement, hope beyond
• 1:05:27
  death, hope beyond this realm. Because there are times, for
• 1:05:31
  instance, for someone who would have died, it's over.
• 1:05:35
  Are we together now? But you can still have hope,
• 1:05:38
  hope of a better resurrection. Let me comfort someone here.
• 1:05:42
  If you ever lost your loved one, anyone close to you, and if they
• 1:05:47
  died in Christ, I want you to find hope and find comfort that
• 1:05:52
  in the name of Jesus, one day you will see them only that you
• 1:05:55
  will not see them with the kind of pain they departed with.
• 1:05:58
  You will see them gloriously adorned.
• 1:06:01
  Are we together now? And by that I'm praying for any
• 1:06:04
  one of our loved ones who is yet to encounter Jesus.
• 1:06:07
  We decree and declare, and we agree as a family of faith, that
• 1:06:11
  none of our loved ones will die without accepting Jesus.
• 1:06:16
  There's nothing we can do about those who have gone sadly
• 1:06:18
  without him. But for those who are alive, in
• 1:06:21
  the name of Jesus, we decree and declare that the Lord of the
• 1:06:24
  harvest, the Holy Spirit himself, may he send laborers,
• 1:06:28
  may he send laborers to see to it that they are saved before
• 1:06:32
  they taste death. You believe that?
• 1:06:34
  Say Amen. Second, charge to you always.
• 1:06:38
  Hope for and expect everything. The best of God in everything.
• 1:07:19
  It is well with my soul. It is well, it is well with my
• 1:07:32
  soul. The woman who?
• 1:07:49
  Elisha. Prayed for her to have a child.
• 1:07:52
  The Bible tells us that over a period of time the child got
• 1:07:57
  sick and he died. When the child died, the woman.
• 1:08:04
  Was on her way. Going so that the she will
• 1:08:09
  report the matter to the man of God and everybody she met on the
• 1:08:13
  way. She said it is well an old
• 1:08:16
  story. How do you say it is well when
• 1:08:18
  your child is already dead until she met the man of God and she
• 1:08:22
  said I didn't ask you for a child.
• 1:08:24
  It was you who brought a child. Now look what has happened.
• 1:08:27
  Elijah had to go and cry to God for that child to come back to
• 1:08:31
  life. But as far as she was concerned,
• 1:08:34
  even while she was doing something about the situation,
• 1:08:37
  she said it is well. Someone look at your pain and
• 1:08:39
  even with eyes, with tears coming from your eyes, shout it
• 1:08:42
  is well. Don't force yourself as a
• 1:08:45
  prophet over your destiny. Say it is well.
• 1:08:49
  Every time you have no. Answer.
• 1:08:51
  Say it is well. It is well.
• 1:08:54
  It's not a cliche to just to lie to yourself.
• 1:08:58
  No, it is the believer's disposition.
• 1:09:00
  It is well means I know God is walking.
• 1:09:03
  I may not see what He's doing, but I stand confident that it is
• 1:09:07
  well. Hallelujah.
• 1:09:12
  So this is where I miss my. Anglican I I used to know that
• 1:09:15
  him off heart was start to finish.
• 1:09:17
  Now I can't even remember the second stanza and he's very
• 1:09:19
  powerful. That's really the stanza in my
• 1:09:22
  spirit. Those Satan should perfect,
• 1:09:25
  those trial should come my Anglican people.
• 1:10:27
  Lord lead me to a rock that is higher than I.
• 1:10:31
  It is well means I'm not ashamed to say I cannot have.
• 1:10:34
  I don't have answers to everything, but that there is a
• 1:10:37
  God that is greater. It is well means God is walking.
• 1:10:41
  I may not understand his ways, but I know he's walking.
• 1:10:44
  Someone shout it is well over your child.
• 1:10:48
  Say it is. Well, still trusting God for
• 1:10:51
  your spouse to be saved, but say it is well.
• 1:10:54
  You left a patient in the hospital to come to church.
• 1:10:57
  Perhaps the patient is even following.
• 1:10:59
  Maybe you are in the hospital, shouted there on that bed.
• 1:11:03
  Say it is well. Yes Sir, it is well.
• 1:11:12
  It's well, it's well, it is well means this situation will not
• 1:11:18
  see the end of me it. Is well means I can.
• 1:11:22
  Fail alone, but me and Jesus cannot fail together.
• 1:11:26
  It is well means do weeping and just for a night, but joy comes
• 1:11:31
  with the morning. Who is learning tonight?
• 1:11:33
  It is well means my bank may be empty, but my heart is full.
• 1:11:39
  It is well means I may not have nor know where the next meal
• 1:11:42
  will come from, but in the name of Jesus I know that my Redeemer
• 1:11:47
  living. Someone said one last time it is
• 1:11:51
  well so. Every time you are overwhelmed.
• 1:11:55
  And it looks like things are not working in your life.
• 1:11:58
  Remain conscious of the love of God towards you #2 always hope
• 1:12:03
  for and expect God's best. God's best in everything #3
• 1:12:09
  never lose your joy. Never lose your joy.
• 1:12:13
  I'm speaking tonight on the topic again.
• 1:12:16
  I say rejoice. Never lose your joy.
• 1:12:18
  Listen, enter a covenant with your destiny that you will never
• 1:12:23
  lose your joy. Joy is of the Holy Ghost, and
• 1:12:27
  once you have the willingness, you will supply the grace.
• 1:12:32
  Are we together? You can laugh.
• 1:12:34
  Even in the midst of storms, the kind of laughter that does not
• 1:12:37
  make sense to anyone who is not filled with the Holy Ghost.
• 1:12:42
  Hallelujah. Never lose your joy.
• 1:12:51
  There are times that you celebrate, you see.
• 1:12:54
  Again, I refer to the testimony of this, our dear sister.
• 1:12:57
  Her testimony was really a major part of my message.
• 1:13:00
  She said one of the things that began to plant a seed of
• 1:13:03
  conviction in her, according to her testimony, was the songs
• 1:13:07
  that the mother would sing. Bless God for godly mothers.
• 1:13:12
  They will insist that the Word of God walks.
• 1:13:15
  Even when they don't know what to do, they will still sing
• 1:13:18
  those praises. Have you seen a mother cry while
• 1:13:21
  singing a song that does not match the tears?
• 1:13:27
  God for you, you must learn to rejoice.
• 1:13:33
  Our generation does not know how to rejoice in faith once things
• 1:13:36
  do not work, we cause God cause God cause God, God you are this
• 1:13:41
  and that God you are this and that.
• 1:13:43
  If you are the God of the Bible. Why am I doing this and that but
• 1:13:47
  there are people who have stayed for 25 years, 30 years.
• 1:13:51
  Are we together believing God for the salvation of their
• 1:13:54
  husband and you ask them you say this man is look like he's going
• 1:13:58
  from frying pan to fire. They say I choose to see what
• 1:14:01
  God has said in the name of Jesus.
• 1:14:04
  I declare every manipulation of darkness to rob you of your joy.
• 1:14:10
  Let me tell you what happens. Do you know if?
• 1:14:13
  Joy is missing in your. Life, believe me, it will affect
• 1:14:17
  your health. There is a medical expression to
• 1:14:21
  the absence of joy. If it will wrinkle you, you
• 1:14:25
  will. Degenerate, you will fade like
• 1:14:28
  someone who is suffering from cancer and sometimes nothing
• 1:14:31
  physically is wrong with you. The Bible says a broken spirit
• 1:14:35
  can dry up the bones. Hallelujah.
• 1:14:41
  Praise the name of the Lord. You must learn to protect and
• 1:14:45
  guard your joy. Let me give you 2 more.
• 1:14:48
  What do you do when it looks like God?
• 1:14:52
  God's Word is still pending in its manifestation.
• 1:14:56
  My first charge. A quick recap.
• 1:14:58
  Remain conscious in the love of God #2 always hope for and
• 1:15:02
  expect the best in everything #3 Never lose your joy #4 Never
• 1:15:10
  stop believing in and engaging the Word of God.
• 1:15:14
  You find all this teaching in the series Beautiful Ashes.
• 1:15:18
  You want a comprehensive discuss on this?
• 1:15:20
  You can go and listen to it. I just took a part of it to
• 1:15:24
  connect what I'm discussing tonight.
• 1:15:27
  Never stop. Believing in.
• 1:15:29
  And engage in the Word of God. Can I tell you the truth?
• 1:15:33
  I used to say it years. Ago, God forbid, but I said God
• 1:15:37
  forbid, but if I die of sickness today, the last word that will
• 1:15:41
  come out of my mouth before I take my life's breath is by his
• 1:15:44
  stripes I'm here. When I get to heaven, I'll ask
• 1:15:49
  God. Questions.
• 1:15:50
  But as far as I'm on this side of God's Kingdom, I will never
• 1:15:53
  stop trusting and believing. Are we together?
• 1:15:58
  Many. Times we give.
• 1:16:00
  Up too soon, we give up too easily sometimes you are just
• 1:16:04
  one day left. Imagine if Joseph was offended
• 1:16:08
  the night to his becoming a Prime Minister and he cause God
• 1:16:12
  'cause God raised us in the prison and they say you know
• 1:16:14
  what, this guy, this prison is not safe for the people and they
• 1:16:18
  moved him to another place or killed him that night.
• 1:16:21
  The king will have a dream but the man to interpret the dream
• 1:16:24
  was not patient enough to allow his season manifest.
• 1:16:28
  Are we together now? There are times that you will
• 1:16:32
  need to continue declaring the Word of God.
• 1:16:36
  Continue listening to the Word of God.
• 1:16:38
  Continue studying the Word of God even when it looks like it
• 1:16:42
  has not delivered. Your only uncle, your safest
• 1:16:46
  uncle, is the Word of God #5 pray without ceasing.
• 1:16:54
  Your time of greatest discouragement should be your
• 1:16:57
  greatest time of prayer. We learned that from Jesus.
• 1:17:02
  Knowing he was about to go to the cross, knowing an exchange
• 1:17:06
  was happening, the Bible says he went to Gethsemane.
• 1:17:09
  You thought you would just give thanks and dance.
• 1:17:12
  Are we together? But he was there.
• 1:17:14
  He groaned, He prayed until sweat were like drops of blood.
• 1:17:18
  And the Bible says he prayed, repeating the same thing when he
• 1:17:22
  prayed Christ. He said that's it, let's go.
• 1:17:25
  And he was ready for the cross. So when tragedy strikes and it
• 1:17:28
  looks like the Word of God is yet to deliver in your life,
• 1:17:31
  that is the time to not stop praying.
• 1:17:33
  That is the time to agree with brethren who love Jesus and love
• 1:17:37
  you. And you can create a prayer
• 1:17:39
  chain and pray away certain things that need to leave the
• 1:17:44
  final charge for you. Every time you find yourself in
• 1:17:47
  a situation where it looks like the Word of God, the performance
• 1:17:51
  of it is yet to be made manifest in your life.
• 1:17:54
  Stay connected to the larger family of believers.
• 1:17:58
  Stay connected to the larger family of believers because
• 1:18:02
  usually when you get to this stage, you are already
• 1:18:05
  discouraged and most times you are already at the corridor of
• 1:18:09
  compromise. So you stay connected to the
• 1:18:13
  larger family of believers. What do?
• 1:18:17
  You gain by staying. Connected to the larger family
• 1:18:19
  of believers. You draw strength, You draw
• 1:18:23
  support, you draw comfort. Let me tell you this, I know
• 1:18:27
  that many people speak I'll of the church.
• 1:18:30
  They said church is where you find all kinds of people.
• 1:18:34
  You find fraudsters, you find bad people.
• 1:18:37
  I may not deny that because it's a mixed multitude, but let me
• 1:18:40
  tell you, the safest place for any believer is still the
• 1:18:44
  Church. The church has the greatest.
• 1:18:49
  Collection of spirit filled people who can show you love,
• 1:18:52
  who can show you genuine care. I apologize for your sad
• 1:18:57
  experience with church, but do not use your unique experience
• 1:19:01
  to paint everybody in church and make it believe that every
• 1:19:05
  believer you see just hate you. There are people who the idea of
• 1:19:09
  church, they just think it's a collection of people who gossip,
• 1:19:12
  who lie, who cheat, who don't love God.
• 1:19:15
  You are missing a lot. That is deception.
• 1:19:17
  Are we together? I can tell you it's in church
• 1:19:19
  that you find someone who will carry your matter on their head
• 1:19:23
  as if it's their own business. They will pray with you.
• 1:19:26
  There are people in church who when they find bereaved
• 1:19:29
  families, they literally will cook for those those families,
• 1:19:32
  sometimes for one month, two months.
• 1:19:34
  There are certain members who will even go and sleep in the
• 1:19:37
  House of those family people to get comfort.
• 1:19:39
  The church is a great place. Are we together now?
• 1:19:43
  Yes, there may be issues here and there to correct in the
• 1:19:45
  church, but Christ is still in the midst of her body.
• 1:19:48
  And I can tell you, if you are going through seasons of pain
• 1:19:51
  and discouragement, the worst thing to do is to disconnect
• 1:19:55
  yourself from the larger body of believers.
• 1:20:00
  Almost all the workers who come to.
• 1:20:01
  Testify here you see them appreciating their various
• 1:20:04
  departments because one or two or more or even all the people
• 1:20:08
  at one point or the other had reason to stand with them.
• 1:20:12
  It is wonderful when people see you going through pain.
• 1:20:15
  Even if they cannot solve the problem, they can speak words of
• 1:20:18
  life. And let me encourage you, every
• 1:20:20
  time you're in the midst of people, a person, a family going
• 1:20:25
  through pain, be mindful of what you say.
• 1:20:28
  Don't add to the wounds. Who is learning now?
• 1:20:31
  Don't add to the wounds. Don't go to a family where they
• 1:20:34
  just lost a loved one and everybody's crying and say, no,
• 1:20:37
  I, I know that this, this death was premature.
• 1:20:40
  Leave that and discuss that with a matured believer.
• 1:20:44
  Are we together? Don't go where you see a woman
• 1:20:47
  crying, her children crying, and you say I know I'm a prophet.
• 1:20:53
  Sometimes believers don't apply. The Word with wisdom, The Bible
• 1:20:57
  said the Word should dwell with you in wisdom are we together
• 1:21:04
  rejoice with them that rejoice. The Bible says when you find
• 1:21:07
  people weeping, you show comfort, you show empathy, and
• 1:21:11
  if you are not able to provide a supernatural solution, then at
• 1:21:15
  least provide a relational solution, provide a brotherly
• 1:21:18
  solution. Are we together?
• 1:21:20
  My sister, you may not understand what is happening to
• 1:21:22
  you now, but I want you to know that I'm praying for you and I
• 1:21:25
  love you. I hear that your mom has been in
• 1:21:28
  the hospital and when will you be free?
• 1:21:30
  Let's go and visit her. Even if I cannot go, once you
• 1:21:33
  are there, just give me a call and let's say hello to Mama.
• 1:21:36
  That's how believers behave. Are we together?
• 1:21:42
  Some of you are the reason why. Those who would not have been
• 1:21:45
  discouraged became discouraged as soon as they encountered you.
• 1:21:49
  The reserve faith, they had died.
• 1:21:54
  Hallelujah. There are people.
• 1:21:56
  Once they knock your door, you know that unbelief is knocking.
• 1:21:58
  You are in trouble. Oh, how are you today?
• 1:22:04
  Well, we're still trusting God. What is it about Job that God
• 1:22:09
  cannot give you a job? In fact, I mean the other person
• 1:22:13
  there, I, you give me your number, let me make, I have some
• 1:22:16
  calls. And you, so you mean as you as a
• 1:22:19
  man like this, There's no food in this house.
• 1:22:22
  No, I'm disappointed. Are you a Deacon?
• 1:22:26
  We we charge. What's the name of your pastor?
• 1:22:28
  How does that statement edify them?
• 1:22:30
  The Bible says to minister grace.
• 1:22:33
  I'm using this as an example. Are we together?
• 1:22:36
  And then at the end of it, you say as well, you who came to
• 1:22:39
  visit, you didn't hold plantain or anything to visit them with
• 1:22:43
  to comfort them. You came and added to their pen
• 1:22:46
  and add food in the house and left.
• 1:22:49
  When Elijah ate the food of the widow, he didn't leave out that
• 1:22:52
  way. You you came and ate the food
• 1:22:54
  where it's depleting and you left.
• 1:23:01
  Are we together when you find people going through?
• 1:23:06
  Seasons of pain comfort them. Let me submit to you.
• 1:23:10
  It is at this point and not to compare.
• 1:23:13
  It is at this point I have profound respect for
• 1:23:16
  denominations and circles that we come orthodox.
• 1:23:20
  They may not have the power to heal as as it were, but let one
• 1:23:24
  person go down. You'll be surprised.
• 1:23:27
  In three hours you will hear from Women Fellowship singing
• 1:23:29
  choruses to their houses and someone coming.
• 1:23:32
  But you know this, our Pentecostal charismatic circle.
• 1:23:35
  Sometimes I know God is helping us, but the moment something bad
• 1:23:39
  happens, everybody dissociates themselves.
• 1:23:41
  You are not working like a son. You are not representing Joshua
• 1:23:44
  Selman. But if you have a house, you are
• 1:23:46
  my son. A president, you are my son.
• 1:23:51
  Are we together? You must have the spirit of this
• 1:23:58
  house. The pain of one is the pain of
• 1:24:01
  all, The joy of one is the joy of all.
• 1:24:04
  No matter how well you are doing, if your neighbor is not
• 1:24:08
  doing well, if you cannot do anything, sow the seed of love
• 1:24:13
  and comfort. You hear that another man of God
• 1:24:15
  is not doing well, Don't brag and say well, we are the ones
• 1:24:18
  who know what we're doing. How does that edify the larger
• 1:24:21
  body? Are we together?
• 1:24:23
  Oh my brother, I can show you one or two things.
• 1:24:25
  If you correct this and adjust this, you can have an excelling
• 1:24:27
  ministry. I pray for you, anybody who.
• 1:24:33
  Know, encourage, and comfort you.
• 1:24:35
  May God take them out of your life.
• 1:24:38
  Anybody who comes as an. Addition to your pain, may they
• 1:24:42
  not arrive your life in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 1:24:46
  Even the Holy Spirit is called the Comforter, meaning when he
• 1:24:51
  comes, he comes to comfort you. He is the one who comes with the
• 1:24:54
  bomb in Gilead. You know why the healing grace
• 1:24:57
  is called the bomb in Gilead? Like.
• 1:25:00
  You rob oil on. Someone who has been wounded
• 1:25:03
  remember the story of the Good Samaritan.
• 1:25:06
  The priest came, saw the guy and was on his way to church and
• 1:25:09
  left him there. The Levite came, left him there,
• 1:25:13
  but there was this man, nameless man just called a Good
• 1:25:15
  Samaritan. When he met him, the Bible said
• 1:25:18
  he saw him in that condition and said well I can't heal you but I
• 1:25:21
  can't help you. Saddled him upon the donkey,
• 1:25:24
  took him to a place, dressed the wound.
• 1:25:26
  The Bible says he poured oil and did whatever and kept him rented
• 1:25:31
  and in and kept him there. He said I have to continue my
• 1:25:33
  journey, but if for any reason if you treat this guy and
• 1:25:37
  there's an extra bill, just leave it there.
• 1:25:39
  If you spend more, I will come back and food the bills.
• 1:25:43
  Jesus is teaching many. Church people pray in.
• 1:25:47
  Tongues. But when it has to do with
• 1:25:49
  showing love and care, people just fold their arms, and it
• 1:25:53
  ought not to be so. I just digress to charge you.
• 1:25:58
  When you find people in pain, don't add to their pain.
• 1:26:02
  If you can't heal them, pray for them.
• 1:26:04
  If you can't heal them, go to the hospital with them and be
• 1:26:07
  proud of doing it. Don't save me.
• 1:26:09
  The kind of grace I carry is not for hospital.
• 1:26:11
  I won't go there. I pray to not be you the next
• 1:26:15
  time. Hallelujah, who is learning
• 1:26:23
  tonight? So you stay.
• 1:26:25
  Connected to the larger. Body of believers, don't betray
• 1:26:29
  the trust of a believer who comes to you crying.
• 1:26:32
  A woman comes to cry and say my husband is a drunkard and he
• 1:26:35
  said really, let's pray. And in 5 minutes another woman
• 1:26:39
  has sent her a text. Even in the midst of a drunkard,
• 1:26:43
  there is still hope. How did she get to know that
• 1:26:45
  story? I'm I'm saying this as a.
• 1:26:50
  Final charge. I don't know what got me into
• 1:26:51
  this kind of discussion, but we need to be careful judge people.
• 1:26:55
  Sometimes we are the ones who discourage unbelievers.
• 1:27:00
  Are we together? Someone now comes and opens up
• 1:27:03
  to you is now vulnerable with you.
• 1:27:05
  I'm telling you I have a family situation.
• 1:27:07
  My husband is a drunkard. We are trusting God for a
• 1:27:10
  miracle. After praying as you rounded up
• 1:27:13
  the first, you now called another sister who doesn't
• 1:27:16
  listen or another brother. Let's pray for this sister.
• 1:27:21
  I have story for you so that man as.
• 1:27:24
  You are seen like that from head.
• 1:27:25
  To toe is a drunkard. Before you know it, his boss.
• 1:27:30
  Calls him in the office. I hear you are a drunkard.
• 1:27:33
  Before you know it, his relative in London says.
• 1:27:35
  We are aware of your situation. We are praying.
• 1:27:43
  Anything that will not edify. And build.
• 1:27:46
  Don't beat if you can't do anything about it.
• 1:27:48
  Pray everybody Say pray one more time.
• 1:27:51
  Say pray. That is the least contribution.
• 1:27:54
  Listen, prayer is the least contribution that any believer
• 1:27:59
  can add to the well-being of another believer.
• 1:28:03
  The least, the very. Least so.
• 1:28:05
  If you say I don't have money to contribute to this family or I
• 1:28:08
  don't have access to them, your least contribution as a believer
• 1:28:13
  should be to pray. Lord, I may not know what this
• 1:28:16
  family is going through. I don't have access to
• 1:28:19
  understand, but in the name of Jesus, we pray that they are
• 1:28:21
  strengthened. I don't know what is happening
• 1:28:23
  to this church. People have been dying every
• 1:28:25
  day. But I pray, strengthen the man
• 1:28:27
  of God, strengthen the people. If he says mystery of the
• 1:28:30
  Kingdom they have not found, open their eyes, oh God, and let
• 1:28:33
  them find it. Are we together now?
• 1:28:38
  Praise the name of the Lord. So there are two groups of
• 1:28:42
  people in this place. Tonight, this is our final
• 1:28:45
  service. And for others from January,
• 1:28:47
  February is like a ladder. You've been climbing ladders of
• 1:28:51
  testimony, celebrating the goodness of God.
• 1:28:54
  Congratulations to you. Our God is a good God.
• 1:28:58
  But for those who have gone through all kinds of things, it
• 1:29:02
  looked like it was a ladder. You climbed downwards, January
• 1:29:05
  being the highest of the ladder, and you kept going down, and now
• 1:29:09
  that you're in December, it looks like you're at your lowest
• 1:29:11
  point spiritually, lowest point financially, lowest point
• 1:29:16
  relationally, lowest point family wise.
• 1:29:19
  I bring you a word of hope. Don't be discouraged.
• 1:29:22
  You can still rejoice when it has to do with the business of
• 1:29:25
  joy. We rejoice because we have seen
• 1:29:27
  the manifestation of God's Word, but we also rejoice in hope,
• 1:29:32
  knowing that you will not fail us.
• 1:29:35
  Are we together now, Apostle? You mean I can rejoice?
• 1:29:40
  Yes, Sir, I'm not even. Sure, where the meal?
• 1:29:43
  For the Christmas will come from you can still rejoice.
• 1:29:47
  What kind of song will I sing that God is good?
• 1:29:51
  What kind of song will I sing that God is faithful?
• 1:29:55
  What kind of song will I sing that God is still dependable
• 1:29:59
  even when I do not understand Him?
• 1:30:03
  Show me a believer who has mastered.
• 1:30:05
  The art of preserving his joy. I show you a believer who Satan
• 1:30:09
  cannot do anything about. High hell and high water can go
• 1:30:13
  up and down, but at the end of it you are rejoicing.
• 1:30:16
  So the Bible says rejoice in the Lord.
• 1:30:19
  Take note now He never said rejoice in your situation.
• 1:30:23
  No, if you to rejoice in your situation will be you lying to
• 1:30:27
  yourself because there are certain situations that you
• 1:30:30
  don't even want to think about. But it says lift up your eyes
• 1:30:33
  and rejoice in the Lord all way, not always all way as you go, as
• 1:30:38
  you sojourn, once you meet an obstacle, your response is joy.
• 1:30:43
  Then it says again. There's a reason why it says
• 1:30:45
  again. Again because that second time
• 1:30:48
  is harder. The third time is harder.
• 1:30:51
  The first time is easy. You are just a fresh graduate.
• 1:30:56
  One year after school. Oh, I know.
• 1:30:58
  God is faithful. And then after four years he
• 1:31:00
  says again, I say rejoice. That again will not make sense
• 1:31:04
  to you. After 10 years, he now says,
• 1:31:07
  again I say rejoice. Hallelujah, listen to me.
• 1:31:14
  Ministries like medicine. The practice of medicine.
• 1:31:21
  In my opinion, doctors should be some of the most emotionally
• 1:31:24
  stable people. As much as I'm I, I know.
• 1:31:27
  Do you know why? Because they're exposed to
• 1:31:29
  almost anything that can happen to humans.
• 1:31:32
  The worst of being death. They've seen emergencies.
• 1:31:36
  They've seen people with no legs, no eyes, no head, no
• 1:31:39
  whatever. They themselves have been part
• 1:31:41
  of those who took some of those parts out.
• 1:31:42
  So I mean, when when a doctor becomes a consultant, this is my
• 1:31:47
  humble submission. I think that he should have seen
• 1:31:50
  so much, not that it numbs his or her emotions, but that it
• 1:31:55
  brings them to a point where they would have seen a variety
• 1:31:59
  of all kinds of things. They've seen cancers, They've
• 1:32:01
  seen fibroids. They've seen all kinds of
• 1:32:04
  things. Look at the lady who shared
• 1:32:06
  that, her mom's legs. I don't know how many of those
• 1:32:08
  cases I've seen, The words that I've seen is, you know how sore
• 1:32:11
  dust is. That's how the leg just falls
• 1:32:15
  like wood. Literally.
• 1:32:19
  You could see the bone. You don't have to look.
• 1:32:22
  You see the bone. So that one is not even is
• 1:32:24
  dried, maybe your only amputation.
• 1:32:28
  And yet I've seen God's power move like that.
• 1:32:31
  So I'm saying. Ministries like medicine.
• 1:32:33
  This is why I said what I said. When you've been in ministry for
• 1:32:37
  a while, you would have seen all kinds of things, a mix of joy
• 1:32:41
  and pain, a mix of celebration and comfort.
• 1:32:44
  Are we together? On one hand you are celebrating
• 1:32:46
  the arrival of a baby, maybe twins.
• 1:32:49
  You are dedicating someone, and on the other hand, someone is
• 1:32:52
  crying. So you are reading your text and
• 1:32:54
  the first text says glory to God.
• 1:32:56
  Come and see what God has done. He has given me victory.
• 1:32:59
  The very next text is tell God if you can that I'm tired of
• 1:33:04
  this thing. Then the next text, finally God
• 1:33:07
  has come true for me. Then the next text, apostle, I
• 1:33:10
  trusted God and I've lost my job.
• 1:33:11
  So by the time you see all of this, your emotions swing from
• 1:33:14
  left to right and then you are left with one thing that your
• 1:33:18
  greatest safety as a believer is to never tie joy to what works
• 1:33:22
  well or does not work well. You tie it to the Lord, we
• 1:33:26
  together. He is the one who does not
• 1:33:28
  change. Give us that Scripture.
• 1:33:30
  I'm explaining to you that Scripture.
• 1:33:32
  It says rejoice in the Lord, not rejoice in your pain.
• 1:33:37
  It doesn't make sense to say rejoice in your pain.
• 1:33:40
  You can rejoice in the midst of your pain because you believe
• 1:33:43
  that God is in the midst of the fire.
• 1:33:45
  You rejoice. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
• 1:33:48
  did not rejoice in the fire. It was not no, there was nothing
• 1:33:52
  pleasant about the fire. They wanted to come out of that,
• 1:33:54
  that place. Or you can rejoice in the Lord.
• 1:33:57
  Someone say I rejoice in the Lord.
• 1:34:01
  Let God hear you say I rejoice in the Lord.
• 1:34:05
  It's a very matured approach as a believer to rejoice in the
• 1:34:09
  Lord. No matter what comes your way,
• 1:34:12
  you rejoice in the Lord. Does that mean you will not cry
• 1:34:16
  Honestly? You may cry many times.
• 1:34:18
  The thing about TS is that there's something called the
• 1:34:20
  tears of joy and the tears of pain.
• 1:34:23
  So you can cry, you can honestly be discouraged as a human.
• 1:34:28
  Jesus was at Gethsemane and he himself, the Bible tells us that
• 1:34:33
  his humanity caught up with him. If it be thy will, let this take
• 1:34:37
  this cup off me. But he said nevertheless, not my
• 1:34:39
  will, your will be done. So there are times that even the
• 1:34:43
  strong can be discouraged. But the one thing that I'm
• 1:34:45
  charging you with, my dear people, that all through the
• 1:34:48
  period of this break, whatever it is, I pray for the best for
• 1:34:52
  you. But if for any reason anything
• 1:34:54
  is around your life or comes around your life that does not
• 1:34:58
  seem to reflect your desire, remember this preacher's voice
• 1:35:03
  whilst you are in your home. Remember this preacher's voice
• 1:35:06
  whilst you are in the village. Remember this preacher's voice
• 1:35:10
  whilst you fly abroad. Remember this preacher's voice
• 1:35:13
  whilst you are having your retreat.
• 1:35:15
  Remember this preacher's voice whilst you are having a family
• 1:35:18
  meeting discussing about for a real situation.
• 1:35:21
  Remember, rejoice in the Lord always.
• 1:35:25
  Lord, you are so good, You are worthy of all my praise.
• 1:35:34
  Lord, you are so good. You are.
• 1:35:39
  Exalted as the Lord Most High, oh Lord.
• 1:35:45
  You are so good. You are worthy of.
• 1:35:51
  All my friends, Lord, you are so.
• 1:36:05
  You are a joyless believer. Is already a defeated believer,
• 1:36:09
  but a believer who still has his joy intact.
• 1:36:14
  Is the believer who has hope, Is the believer who will rise
• 1:36:17
  again, Is the believer who will shine again?
• 1:36:21
  Is the believer who will live to give God glory and say, I went
• 1:36:25
  through the valley of the shadow of death, but I'm standing today
• 1:36:29
  as a testament of the faithfulness of God.
• 1:36:32
  Are we together now? The Lord gave me this message to
• 1:36:36
  bring again. I say rejoice because for
• 1:36:39
  someone, if we close this meeting and we close Koinonia
• 1:36:45
  without planting that seed, some of you the way you are
• 1:36:48
  discouraged, you may not even survive the year coming because
• 1:36:52
  you are you barely brought yourself to church.
• 1:36:55
  So on one side we are rejoicing, but on another side we will
• 1:36:59
  rejoice with understanding in the Lord that even though things
• 1:37:03
  may not have worked as well for you, but we are rejoicing.
• 1:37:07
  But I have good news for someone during the prayer session.
• 1:37:12
  Remember the Scripture you prayed on that even now God is
• 1:37:17
  able to step in. I truly believe that for someone
• 1:37:20
  God allowed for this last program because although it
• 1:37:25
  looks like things have not worked, but that this one last
• 1:37:28
  time. This one last time.
• 1:37:30
  How many of you know that Jesus passing Jericho to heal Bland
• 1:37:33
  Battamios? According to Bible history, that
• 1:37:36
  will be the last time he was passing that road.
• 1:37:41
  Only God knows how many times before.
• 1:37:43
  That time he had passed, but Bland Battimio cried and said,
• 1:37:46
  this time, let me give the word of God a chance.
• 1:37:49
  Someone say even now, let faith rise, say even now in the name
• 1:37:55
  of Jesus Christ. For the next 5-10 minutes we're
• 1:37:59
  going to engage the mystery of praise, and then I'll come up,
• 1:38:03
  listen, I want to prophecy over your life, but I want you to tap
• 1:38:08
  into the mystery of praise. Are we together?
• 1:38:11
  Our worship team is going to give us praise for the next 10
• 1:38:15
  minutes. Whether you have a reason to
• 1:38:17
  celebrate or not, I want you to rejoice in the Lord for the next
• 1:38:21
  10 minutes. Listen.
• 1:38:22
  Listen. You are not jumping or shouting
• 1:38:26
  or clapping or singing. Just as a carnally minded man
• 1:38:31
  are we together now for others You are saying thank you Lord,
• 1:38:34
  you've done it already. Nothing to be done.
• 1:38:36
  I'm just giving you praise for others.
• 1:38:38
  It is a weapon. You are saying Lord, there is
• 1:38:42
  hope for a tree even though it be cut off that at the center of
• 1:38:46
  water. As I praise you, arise for me.
• 1:38:51
  Let me. Show you a scripture that will.
• 1:38:52
  Comfort you as we prepare my people.
• 1:38:54
  Are you ready? You can come up.
• 1:38:57
  One scripture acts. Chapter 12 from verse 6, So
• 1:39:04
  Peter has been caught bound and they were about to kill him.
• 1:39:12
  They had beheaded James and they were planning to kill him the
• 1:39:15
  next day. The Bible says he was kept, He
• 1:39:18
  was sleeping between two soldiers.
• 1:39:20
  Verse seven, look what happened. He says I'm behold, let's go to
• 1:39:26
  verse 5. There's something I'm looking
• 1:39:27
  for. Now you have to take me back.
• 1:39:31
  He says Peter therefore was. Kept in prison watch this but
• 1:39:35
  prayer was made without season of the church unto God for him.
• 1:39:39
  Verse six, he says, and when Herod, that's right, would have
• 1:39:44
  brought him forth that same night, everybody said this same
• 1:39:48
  night he said that same night, meaning that by the moral the
• 1:39:52
  next day they were going to behead Peter, I'm sure.
• 1:39:57
  Other believers had said you. Know what?
• 1:39:59
  Let's let's stop praying. Let's let's not waste our time
• 1:40:01
  again. But the Bible?
• 1:40:03
  Says that same night. For someone within these 10
• 1:40:07
  minutes. The Bible says it took God 7.
• 1:40:11
  Days to make the heavens and the earth.
• 1:40:13
  It doesn't take that long to change your story.
• 1:40:15
  Are we together? I truly believe in my heart that
• 1:40:19
  in the next fight, even if you are crying, I'd like you to
• 1:40:22
  rejoice in the Lord, rejoice in the Lord.
• 1:40:25
  You are celebrating God as a weapon.
• 1:40:28
  Immediately after that, we'll get into a prayer session and I
• 1:40:32
  want to prophesize from the depth of my heart over your life
• 1:40:36
  and you watch the God of wonders for someone.
• 1:40:39
  What did not happen from January, I'm telling you, till
• 1:40:43
  December, before the years ended, your hands will be
• 1:40:46
  holding Basket Fool's testimonies.
• 1:40:51
  Hallelujah. So I'll step back for a few
• 1:40:53
  minutes and allow the worship team for the next 10 minutes.
• 1:40:57
  We're doing this with understanding.
• 1:40:58
  We're not wasting time at all. I will come up and speak over
• 1:41:02
  your life. Go ahead, my people.
• 1:41:05
  Come and see. What the Lord has done.
• 1:41:09
  For me. Come and see what the Lord has
• 1:41:13
  done for me. See what the Lord has done for
• 1:41:20
  me. If it's next movie, can somebody
• 1:41:26
  raise the sound of what? Come and see what the Lord has
• 1:41:34
  done for me. Come and see what Jesus has done
• 1:41:40
  for me. Come and see, come and see.
• 1:41:54
  Lift up those hands to heaven. Are you ready to praise the Lord
• 1:42:00
  of hosts? Hi.
• 1:42:04
  Who starts with this song? You see.
• 1:42:07

• 1:43:00
  hands in the sanctuary. We leave the hands in the glory.

  We'll advance to give you the pray you say, and we will praise
• 1:43:11
  you for the rest nobody. Yes, we will praise you for the
• 1:43:16

• 1:43:32
  lift the heads in the statue, we lift the heads, we lift the
• 1:43:38
  heads. And we will praise.
• 1:43:45
  Yes, come aside, Jesus. Are you dancing?
• 1:44:35

  Amen. Now in.
• 1:52:45
  The next one minute. I want you to find the best way
• 1:52:49
  to tell the Lord thank you. Just one minute of quality.

• 1:54:54
  Do the Thanksgiving, but for the next few seconds, those
• 1:54:59
  following online, are you grateful?
• 1:55:02
  Enough. To let him know how grateful you
• 1:55:05
  are. Are you thankful?
• 1:55:07
  Enough. To let him know how thankful you
• 1:55:09
  are for the ministry of the. World.

  For the supernatural manifestation of His world in
• 1:55:16

  For the more. Inspiring manifestations of his
• 1:55:25
  hand. Thank you Lord Jesus.
• 1:55:33
  Thank you Lord Jesus, in the name of Jesus.
• 1:55:40
  Now in the next one minute, I'd like you to pray every pending
• 1:55:44
  issue that you are still trusting God for that you are
• 1:55:48
  saying, Lord, even now I want you to open your mouth and
• 1:55:52
  release your faith as you pray. Even now, Lord, I know you can
• 1:55:56
  still give me a testimony. Someone go ahead and pray.
• 1:55:59
  The Bible says to be anxious for nothing, but it says in
• 1:56:02

• 1:57:44
  Let me make some prophetic declarations over your life and
• 1:57:48
  then we'll go straight to the end of year sacrifice.
• 1:57:52
  In the name of Jesus, I pray for you, whether you are lying down,
• 1:57:55
  whether your object just receive.
• 1:57:57
  You don't need to distract this. This is between you and God.
• 1:58:00
  I pray over you everything that is in the loins of prophecy that
• 1:58:06
  according to God's divine ordination for 2024 should have
• 1:58:10
  been manifest in your life and is still hanging in the realm of
• 1:58:13
  the Spirit. I stand tonight as a prophetic
• 1:58:16
  midwife and I declare before December 31st.
• 1:58:20
  May God release it to your life. May.
• 1:58:24
  God release it to your. Life May God release.
• 1:58:28
  It to your. Life.
• 1:58:30
  May God release it to your family.
• 1:58:32
  May God release it to your business in the name of Jesus.
• 1:58:40
  The Bible says to give them beauty.
• 1:58:42
  For ashes, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
• 1:58:46
  I decree and declare every issue in your life that is of a
• 1:58:51
  demonic origin. That means this one is not
• 1:58:54
  processed. This one is is is an attack.
• 1:58:57
  I decree and declare the spirit that is back of that issue,
• 1:59:02
  whether it's ancestral issues of foundation by the power that
• 1:59:06
  race crash from the dead be released now.
• 1:59:11
  Be released now. Be released now.
• 1:59:17
  Be released now. The spirit delay your helper.
• 1:59:24
  From arriving that just when they are about to meet with you,
• 1:59:28
  a satanic force will widen the distance between you and them.
• 1:59:32
  In the name of Jesus, before this year ends, may you
• 1:59:35
  encounter them. May you encounter help us.
• 1:59:39
  May you encounter lift us. May you encounter support
• 1:59:43
  systems, May you encounter bless us in the name of Jesus.
• 1:59:52
  Hallelujah. The Spirit that makes your face
• 1:59:56
  to be covered in the name of Jesus Christ, so that those who
• 2:00:01
  need to see you to honor you do not see you.
• 2:00:04
  I decree and declare that satanic veil that has been
• 2:00:08
  placed over someone's face that those who are sent to you pass
• 2:00:12
  you many times and they do not know you are the one that
• 2:00:15
  they've been mandated to help. I decree and declare me that
• 2:00:18
  fail be turn to pieces turn to. Pieces turn.
• 2:00:23
  To pieces, turn to pieces. There are those who succeed.
• 2:00:30
  For the problems that come around your life match the level
• 2:00:34
  of your success to a point that it cancels it out.
• 2:00:37
  God blesses you with some money. The troubles around your life
• 2:00:41
  make it look as if He did not answer your prayer.
• 2:00:44
  I pray for you. Every time God increases the
• 2:00:47
  greatness of a man, He comforts the man on every side.
• 2:00:50
  Those who have received increase without comfort.
• 2:00:53
  I prophecy comfort for you now increase.
• 2:00:57
  Will not come with. Pain increase will not not come
• 2:01:01
  with losses. Here this prophetic word I say
• 2:01:04
  to you again. Your rising will not be why you
• 2:01:07
  cry. Your promotion will not be why
• 2:01:10
  you cry in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:01:15
  There are men the trouble in their life.
• 2:01:17
  Start when God announces them, He said.
• 2:01:19
  Thou shalt increase my greatness and comfort me on every side.
• 2:01:24
  Anyone who has experienced increase.
• 2:01:26
  And with that increase has come battles.
• 2:01:29
  Battles that make the increase look like a 'cause I prophecy
• 2:01:32
  comfort to your life now. And every heart that is
• 2:01:40
  bleeding. Here, as a result of that lost
• 2:01:43
  pain, I decree and declare that in this final service, may the
• 2:01:48
  bomb in Gilead be applied to those wounds.
• 2:01:51
  May the bomb in Gilead wine and oil may be applied to those
• 2:01:56
  injuries. In the name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:02:00
  Everything your ears hurt by faith, everything in your eyes
• 2:02:04
  saw in the Spirit that is in righteousness and is part of
• 2:02:08
  God's will for you. Before this year ends.
• 2:02:11
  May your hands handle it. May your hands handle it in the
• 2:02:16
  name of Jesus. Listen, there is the course that
• 2:02:22
  can come on a man where you see good things, but you never
• 2:02:26
  experience it. That was the 'cause that was
• 2:02:28
  upon the one who the king in Samaria leaned upon.
• 2:02:32
  The prophet told him, because you despise prophecy, you will
• 2:02:35
  see to show that God is faithful, but you may never
• 2:02:38
  partake of it. I pray for you.
• 2:02:40
  It will never be that you saw it and did not enjoy it.
• 2:02:44
  It will never. Be that you were.
• 2:02:46
  Almost there, and then something happened and you did not get
• 2:02:49
  there. God, who started with you will
• 2:02:52
  also be the finisher. In the name of Jesus, I'm still
• 2:02:58
  prophesying. For your shame received double.
• 2:03:01
  For your shame of January, your shame of February, March, April,
• 2:03:05
  May, June, July, August, September, October, November,
• 2:03:10
  even December received double. In the name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:03:19
  Let me submit to you, and I don't mean to glorify the flesh,
• 2:03:24
  but 80% of your concerns can be solved with the abundance of
• 2:03:28
  financial resources. Not everything, but over 80%.
• 2:03:33
  Most of what people call concerns is just financial
• 2:03:37
  insufficiency. Once the resources are there and
• 2:03:40
  wisdom is there, vision is there, you will find out that
• 2:03:43
  many of the backlog of this awaited issues, a house problem
• 2:03:48
  is largely a financial problem. Are we together now?
• 2:03:52
  All these petty issues that weigh on you?
• 2:03:55
  I'm praying for you, someone anointed by God, someone with
• 2:03:59
  capacity and their hearts to help you.
• 2:04:02
  This does not take away diligence.
• 2:04:04
  What I'm praying for you that in the name of Jesus, a kind of
• 2:04:08
  surprise you have not seen from January till now.
• 2:04:11
  May you experience it before this year end.
• 2:04:15
  May God raise someone for your sake.
• 2:04:18
  Raise someone for your family's sake.
• 2:04:20
  Raise someone for the sake of your ministry.
• 2:04:23
  Raise someone for the sake of your destiny.
• 2:04:26
  In the name of Jesus. Hallelujah.
• 2:04:34
  I was commending a dear woman of God earlier on.
• 2:04:37
  We communicated today and one discussion led to the other and
• 2:04:43
  I told her something. Great woman who is a great
• 2:04:45
  giver. I mean this woman just secretly
• 2:04:48
  she's, I mean she's a mighty giver.
• 2:04:50
  These are people called these are the kind of people the Bible
• 2:04:53
  calls sons or daughters of consolation.
• 2:04:56
  Are we together now? Yes.
• 2:04:58
  And so I jokingly told her, and I said, any man of God that has
• 2:05:04
  three of your kind and does not serve God with joy is not born
• 2:05:07
  again you. Understand there are people who
• 2:05:11
  are like. Nations, when they come and
• 2:05:13
  stand behind you, I am telling you what is a wrench problem?
• 2:05:18
  What is a housing problem? God always uses men.
• 2:05:21
  I'm praying for you again. People of capacity with a very
• 2:05:25
  large heart, May God gravitate them towards your life.
• 2:05:29
  They will be interested in your well-being.
• 2:05:32
  They will be interested in your welfare.
• 2:05:35
  They will be interested in your children.
• 2:05:37
  They will be interested in your rising.
• 2:05:40
  They will be interested in your business.
• 2:05:42
  They will be interested in your pain.
• 2:05:45
  They will be interested in your joy in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:05:53
  Hallelujah, my final prayer for you.
• 2:05:56
  Reproach is not just a condition, it's a spirit.
• 2:06:01
  Reproach is like an uncleanliness.
• 2:06:05
  It's like something that comes upon you and causes people to
• 2:06:08
  distance themselves from you is called reproach.
• 2:06:11
  The antidote to reproach is the grace for honor.
• 2:06:15
  When honor is upon you, it causes people to perceive you as
• 2:06:19
  matching your true wolf and to reward you as touching your
• 2:06:23
  sacrifice. Let me tell you, you can be
• 2:06:26
  diligent, but if the grace for honor is not on you, you will
• 2:06:29
  never command the attention of people that matter.
• 2:06:33
  The Bible says and Jabez was more honorable.
• 2:06:37
  That was what your Jabez problem.
• 2:06:39
  Honor the mother. Named him Jabez.
• 2:06:43
  I pray for you. This ministry has been honored
• 2:06:46
  by God, by the message of God, this life has been honored by
• 2:06:49
  God. I pray for you, for your shame,
• 2:06:52
  for your reproach where people run away from you like it, like
• 2:06:56
  as I saw you have a cancer. May this mantle of honor rest on
• 2:07:00
  your head. Rest on your head, Let it rest
• 2:07:04
  on your head. It will speak in Nigeria.
• 2:07:07
  It will speak in America. It will speak in China.
• 2:07:11
  It will speak in your village. It will speak in the city.
• 2:07:15
  It will speak among the small and the great.
• 2:07:17
  In the name of Jesus. And hear me.
• 2:07:27
  For some of you. Here who are the 1st?
• 2:07:29
  To open the door of greatness in your family, you know that that
• 2:07:33
  door, someone has to be the first to open it.
• 2:07:35
  Then other people come through. I pray for you in the name of
• 2:07:39
  Jesus because you are the one God wants to use to open that
• 2:07:43
  door. Every attack to take you out of
• 2:07:45
  the way in the name of Jesus, from the depth of my heart I'm
• 2:07:49
  praying for you because that mantle of his status upon you I
• 2:07:57
  decree and declare by God you will run through a troop, and by
• 2:08:01
  my God who will leap over every wall in the name of Jesus
• 2:08:06
  Christ. And anyone who vows that.
• 2:08:12
  Over their dead body for you to rise.
• 2:08:15
  May their prayer be answered. Anyone who beats their chest.
• 2:08:21
  And claims to be God, taking the place of God, that without me
• 2:08:25
  you will not rise, without me your children will not rise.
• 2:08:28
  May the edge open and swallow them.
• 2:08:36
  In the name of Jesus. Wave your hands to Jesus and
• 2:08:39
  give him thanks. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
• 2:08:47
  All right, it's time for us to. Give everybody please.
• 2:08:50
  Stand, stand. We have a culture.
• 2:08:54
  In this ministry. At the last service, the end of
• 2:08:57
  every year, we have an end of year sacrifice that we give unto
• 2:09:03
  God as a global family out of revelation very quickly.
• 2:09:07
  Why do we give one? Because we love the Lord.
• 2:09:10
  The first reason why we come with our end of year sacrifice
• 2:09:14
  is not a ritual. We do it because we love Jesus
• 2:09:18
  with all our hearts. John chapter 3 and verse 16.
• 2:09:21
  The Bible says for God so loved the world that He gave not that
• 2:09:26
  he spoke He gave. Giving, even sacrificial giving
• 2:09:31
  is a demonstration of your love #2 Why do we give and give of
• 2:09:36
  this sort? Because of our desire to see His
• 2:09:40
  Kingdom come and His agenda promoted.
• 2:09:44
  The Bible says God desires in First Timothy 2 and verse four
• 2:09:47
  we read that earlier that all men be saved and that they come
• 2:09:52
  unto the knowledge of the truth and everything that makes for
• 2:09:57
  the salvation of man is the will of God.
• 2:10:00
  Everything including the availability of resources.
• 2:10:03
  Some 122 and verse 9, I think NIV it says for the sake of your
• 2:10:08
  house, I desire your prosperity. For the sake of the House of the
• 2:10:13
  Lord our God, I will seek your prosperity.
• 2:10:17
  I'm not seeking prosperity just so I have a name, not just for a
• 2:10:21
  car and all of that. It is for the sake of your house
• 2:10:24
  to see that the mountain of the Lord's house is exalted above
• 2:10:28
  all the mountains #3 Why do we come with our end of year
• 2:10:32
  sacrifice? Connecting to the spiritual laws
• 2:10:37
  that provoke increase. Connecting to the spiritual
• 2:10:41
  laws. Listen to me.
• 2:10:43
  Wealth is not just physical. Wealth is not just economic.
• 2:10:47
  Wealth is not just transactional.
• 2:10:50
  Everything that has value starts from the realm of the spirit.
• 2:10:55
  Are we together now? Connecting to spiritual laws?
• 2:11:00
  You have been taught in this house that there are spiritual
• 2:11:02
  laws that govern wealth and prosperity.
• 2:11:06
  This is very, very important in as much as love is the primary
• 2:11:11
  motivation, you must have it at the back of your mind.
• 2:11:14
  Are we together? There is a dimension of giving
• 2:11:19
  that translates directly to increase, directly to increase
• 2:11:25
  directly to increase. Listen carefully by the message
• 2:11:30
  of God, you are listening to a man who has the this area bar.
• 2:11:34
  I know what I'm saying directly to increase.
• 2:11:40
  Hallelujah. John.
• 2:11:42
  Chapter 6. The Bible.
• 2:11:44
  Tells us that Jesus verse one. Media are we still together?
• 2:11:52
  John chapter 6. After these things, Jesus went
• 2:11:55
  to the Sea of Galilee, which was at Tiberius.
• 2:11:58
  Let me show you something. A great multitude followed him,
• 2:12:01
  because they saw the miracles he did on them that were deceased.
• 2:12:05
  And Jesus went into the mountain, and there he sat with
• 2:12:09
  disciples. Follow carefully the Passover.
• 2:12:12
  The feast of the Jews was nigh. And the Bible says Jesus lifted
• 2:12:16
  up his eyes, and he saw a great company.
• 2:12:18
  He said unto them, When shall we buy bread?
• 2:12:22
  Now listen. Listen, Jesus.
• 2:12:25
  'S first approach to. The matter of bread was to buy
• 2:12:29
  it. Are we together?
• 2:12:32
  This right here is demonstrating for you economic laws that if
• 2:12:36
  you want bread, one of the ways you get bread is to transact, to
• 2:12:41
  buy. Are we together?
• 2:12:44
  When shall we buy bread so that this will eat?
• 2:12:47
  That means if you want to feed the people, then we must use
• 2:12:50
  economic principles. Buy the bread and feed them.
• 2:12:54
  Verse 6 this, he said. To prove.
• 2:12:58
  Them he himself already knew that you will need beyond
• 2:13:03
  economic principles, but seven, Philip said unto him, 200
• 2:13:09
  pennies worth of bread is not sufficient for them.
• 2:13:15
  There are limitations to economic laws.
• 2:13:18
  He said. Listen, based on economic laws,
• 2:13:21
  we are going to need time and we don't have that time now.
• 2:13:25
  We will need time of at least whatever time would translate to
• 2:13:30
  200 pennies worth of bread. It will still not be sufficient
• 2:13:33
  for them so that everyone will take even a little.
• 2:13:37
  So the principles are there, but the challenge with economic
• 2:13:41
  principles is that they are time dependent.
• 2:13:45
  If you invest like Warren Buffett from age 8 and you can
• 2:13:48
  be patient till you are 60, then the law will work for you.
• 2:13:53
  Unfortunately, life cannot allow you and afford you that
• 2:13:57
  opportunity. Are we together?
• 2:13:59
  Time is a very vital component in engaging economic laws.
• 2:14:04
  But because the business of the king requires haste, this is the
• 2:14:08
  one thing that people cannot abuse and throw away.
• 2:14:12
  And you will need to tap into higher laws.
• 2:14:14
  Let me just show you something and we'll pray.
• 2:14:17
  Verse eight, One of the disciples watch this now
• 2:14:21
  Andrew's brother said unto him, There is a young guy here.
• 2:14:27
  So he's contrasting this to buying the bread.
• 2:14:29
  So two options 1, you can go to those who sell if you have the
• 2:14:33
  money and have the time and you can be patient, buy the bread
• 2:14:37
  and feed the people. But the people don't have
• 2:14:39
  forever to wait. You 2 don't have forever to
• 2:14:42
  wait. You see the limitation there and
• 2:14:45
  that based on the law of wages is going to be gradual and you
• 2:14:49
  cannot build that much that far to attend to their needs.
• 2:14:53
  But he says there is a young man that has two Bali loaves and two
• 2:14:59
  small fish. But he said, what is it among
• 2:15:02
  these many verse 10, watch this Now Jesus said make them sit
• 2:15:07
  down. You're about to watch a miracle.
• 2:15:09
  Now I want to show you that there is a superior route that
• 2:15:13
  can cause these people to be fed.
• 2:15:16
  He acknowledged economic principles.
• 2:15:18
  He was the one who by himself, his first suggestion was by it.
• 2:15:22
  But the Bible says he already knew that that method would not
• 2:15:25
  work in this condition. But I'm sure he knew that the
• 2:15:28
  time will come where people would disregard spiritual laws.
• 2:15:32
  And so that there will be a witness that spiritual laws is
• 2:15:36
  not a neglecting of economic laws, but that there is a
• 2:15:40
  superior advantage the Saints can hold on to.
• 2:15:43
  Are we together now He said sit down and the men sat down and
• 2:15:47
  the numbers was about 5000. Watch what he did.
• 2:15:50
  Verse 11 Jesus took the loaves. I thought that.
• 2:15:54
  That should be. Wickedness.
• 2:15:56
  A young boy came with his two loaf, his his five loaf and two
• 2:16:02
  fish. You're watching 5000 people and
• 2:16:05
  you thought Jesus would look at the boy and say no, we don't
• 2:16:07
  need your bread. The only way to feed these
• 2:16:09
  people is by buying bread. Jesus collected the boy's loaf
• 2:16:14
  and the Bible says he gave thanks.
• 2:16:16
  Watch the equation. It started from man to Jesus
• 2:16:20
  back to man for increase to happen from a man.
• 2:16:25
  Then Jesus received it, did something with it, and returned
• 2:16:28
  it back to a man. So spiritual laws does not take
• 2:16:32
  away economic principles. Eventually the distribution was
• 2:16:37
  not a spiritual principle. They were the ones who did the
• 2:16:40
  distribution. Are we together now?
• 2:16:42
  They brought what they had. Jesus applied grace upon it and
• 2:16:47
  say go. And as they distributed it, one
• 2:16:50
  could not feed. 5000 people began to feed everyone until
• 2:16:55
  there were 12 baskets left. It is not just a a message on
• 2:16:59
  compassion, it is a display of the economic system of the
• 2:17:04
  Kingdom that under a certain condition God can bring increase
• 2:17:09
  and redeem time. He did not do that miracle every
• 2:17:12
  day. So the miracle is not for
• 2:17:14
  everybody. The miracle is for anybody who
• 2:17:16
  cares for souls, because the One.
• 2:17:19
  Who cares for souls? Does not have time to waste, so
• 2:17:22
  if you don't have a passion for souls, go and buy bread.
• 2:17:26
  But if you have a passion for souls, there is an advantage for
• 2:17:30
  the sake. Are we together now when you
• 2:17:34
  see? Someone who does not.
• 2:17:35
  Love God and is not serious with spiritual things.
• 2:17:38
  They have all the time to wait, but the King's business requires
• 2:17:43
  haste. And that is why God, in addition
• 2:17:46
  to economic principles, He's granted us an advantage.
• 2:17:49
  And let me tell you the truth, ladies and gentlemen, the
• 2:17:52
  believer who does not give may prosper without God, but cannot
• 2:17:58
  have God's dimension of increase.
• 2:18:00
  Are we together now? A believer can use brain work
• 2:18:04
  and transact business and make money.
• 2:18:07
  But there are some things money cannot buy.
• 2:18:09
  Money cannot buy peace. Money cannot buy favor.
• 2:18:12
  Money cannot buy the blessing of people.
• 2:18:15
  Money cannot buy discernment. Are we together now?
• 2:18:18
  The balance here is when you throw away economic principles.
• 2:18:22
  You'll notice that there were three participants for that
• 2:18:25
  miracle to happen. The young lad Jesus and the
• 2:18:29
  disciples who distributed it, now the Pentecostal circle, what
• 2:18:32
  they do is they push away the young lad and they push away the
• 2:18:36
  those who distribute it and they believe that it is only Jesus
• 2:18:40
  who should get the bread, bless it and also distribute it.
• 2:18:44
  That is an error. You see that now, teaching that
• 2:18:48
  giving is the only key and the exclusive key to abundance is
• 2:18:53
  not accurate. But removing Jesus out of that
• 2:18:57
  equation, I'm not interested in any equation that does not have
• 2:19:01
  Jesus in it. If Jesus must go out of my
• 2:19:04
  finances for me to prosper, it is demonic.
• 2:19:08
  I'm not interested because every time Jesus leaves, there is
• 2:19:12
  another man who plans to. Satan does not care whether he's
• 2:19:16
  invited. While Jesus is not there.
• 2:19:18
  He's invited. He comes in causing pain.
• 2:19:22
  He comes in causing all kinds of sorrow.
• 2:19:25
  I've had the honor of meeting very wealthy people.
• 2:19:28
  Forget what you see. Social media show.
• 2:19:30
  You don't know the pain that these people go through.
• 2:19:32
  Money only solves money problems.
• 2:19:35
  But there are problems beyond money.
• 2:19:38
  There are problems only God can solve.
• 2:19:40
  Are we together? It's important to do a little
• 2:19:42
  orientation for you so that in giving you don't number one,
• 2:19:47
  just carry this transactional mentality like you are meeting a
• 2:19:51
  money doubler. However, it will be unfair to
• 2:19:55
  you if I don't teach you that giving is part of the component
• 2:19:58
  that brings increase. Show me a giver who also has
• 2:20:03
  been taught the other dynamics. Of Kingdom, well, I show you the
• 2:20:07
  person who Satan will never be able to bring down financially.
• 2:20:13
  Hallelujah. I believe in giving and this end
• 2:20:17
  of year sacrifice for us as a global family and all those who
• 2:20:21
  have been blessed from this ministry, you are free to
• 2:20:23
  participate. I asked you to not give until I
• 2:20:26
  speak because it's beyond money. Ladies and gentlemen, I tell you
• 2:20:30
  it's beyond money. By the grace of God, we have
• 2:20:32
  been marvelously helped of God. When we give, it is to honor the
• 2:20:36
  name of the Lord and then to further allow for greater
• 2:20:41
  supplies to the House of God for Kingdom service, but also to
• 2:20:44
  give you an opportunity to truly connect for increase.
• 2:20:50
  Hallelujah. I was excited this morning.
• 2:20:53
  You can't believe it. Waiting to come to church, not
• 2:20:55
  just to preach, but so that I have the opportunity to give.
• 2:20:59
  I give because I love Him. I give because it's an honor for
• 2:21:03
  my seed to be part of Kingdom come.
• 2:21:05
  But I also give because I schedule seasons of mysterious
• 2:21:09
  abundance that empower me to live a comfortable life and to
• 2:21:14
  serve the purposes of the Kingdom.
• 2:21:16
  This is a ministry that has been marvelously helped by God, and
• 2:21:20
  this is one of the major ways a giving ministry is a prosperous
• 2:21:24
  ministry. A giving man of God is a
• 2:21:27
  prosperous man of God. You can be intelligent, but if
• 2:21:30
  you are not a giver, there is a limit.
• 2:21:34
  Are we? Together now praise the.
• 2:21:35
  Name of the Lord so I'm going to ask media please display the
• 2:21:40
  account numbers. I'm going to pray and speak
• 2:21:43
  colonial global. This is the end of your
• 2:21:45
  sacrifice. Do this from your heart without
• 2:21:49
  if you don't believe in no problem.
• 2:21:50
  You don't have to do it. You won't go to hell.
• 2:21:52
  This is this is by by God's grace.
• 2:21:55
  I have a covenant with God that we will never manipulate anybody
• 2:21:59
  to drop a naira a dollar a pound, whatever it is in this
• 2:22:03
  ministry. Hallelujah.
• 2:22:05
  Unfortunately, we only have foreign accounts for US, Canada
• 2:22:10
  and UK. So for those of you across the
• 2:22:13
  globe, you can use our domiciliary accounts.
• 2:22:15
  They are displayed there. Please let them have our
• 2:22:18
  domiciliary accounts and then take advantage of it.
• 2:22:22
  I'm going to pray right now and give generously.
• 2:22:25
  Businesses can give, individuals can give.
• 2:22:28
  We have served God with the best of integrity as God has granted,
• 2:22:32
  and this is an opportunity for you to stand with what God is
• 2:22:36
  doing all across the globe and make sure that you give
• 2:22:39
  generously is a sacrifice unto the Lord.
• 2:22:42
  Lift your hands. Father, thank you so much for
• 2:22:45
  the honor to be able to bring. That end of year.
• 2:22:48
  Sacrifice. We are people marvelously helped
• 2:22:51
  by God. Thank you O.
• 2:22:53
  God, because you have. Shown us mercy as a ministry.
• 2:22:58
  Thank you because you have shown us grace.
• 2:23:01
  And Lord, we thank you for the privilege to respond in love, to
• 2:23:05
  respond as people of intelligence and training and
• 2:23:08
  vision and maturity, and to respond as people who are
• 2:23:12
  enlightened enough to understand your economic system.
• 2:23:16
  Lord, there are people here who are giving tonight.
• 2:23:18
  They're making sacrifices of all sorts.
• 2:23:21
  There are businesses. There are other ministries,
• 2:23:25
  there are families, there are individuals, there are captains
• 2:23:28
  of industry, there are heads of governments, parastatals.
• 2:23:31
  Lord, I'm praying let nobody go down because they gave let.
• 2:23:38
  Nobody get into. Penury because they gave.
• 2:23:42
  Let no one's finances dry because they gave.
• 2:23:46
  Rather, I speak to you, the God who has shown us mercy in the
• 2:23:50
  name of Jesus. May that God surprise you.
• 2:23:55
  I speak mysterious increase to your finances.
• 2:23:59
  The intelligence to transact in a way that profits you.
• 2:24:03
  I release that grace upon you. The wisdom and the discernment
• 2:24:08
  it takes to know what to do for increase I release upon you.
• 2:24:14
  I decree and declare that every attack on your finances, that as
• 2:24:19
  you commit to this sacrifice in the name of Jesus the Devorer,
• 2:24:23
  is taken away from your life. Shout.
• 2:24:27
  Amen. Taken from your.
• 2:24:28
  Destiny in the mighty name of Jesus.
• 2:24:34
  Hallelujah, I remember. Years ago, when we started, the
• 2:24:37
  Lord gave us an instruction. Literally, we emptied the
• 2:24:41
  account of this ministry. Now you don't do that except God
• 2:24:44
  gives you an instruction, but he did I I took that it was a joy
• 2:24:49
  in one week. God is my witness.
• 2:24:51
  I lie not God did something in the life of this ministry that
• 2:24:55
  we may not recover from until Jesus comes one week, two years
• 2:25:00
  ago. I think he was.
• 2:25:02
  God gave every time I sow I do a lot of things I may give her and
• 2:25:06
  I do that with joy, but God gave her a very strange instruction
• 2:25:11
  for this ministry to sow His seed was a very serious seed.
• 2:25:15
  I think about two years ago and after I said yes, Lord, I mean
• 2:25:19
  you said it would do it. It would cost us a lot, but it
• 2:25:23
  would do it. And then the word of the Lord
• 2:25:25
  came to me in a way unmistakable.
• 2:25:28
  He said the instruction I give kaunonia the seed, you as an
• 2:25:32
  individual, you will give twice that amount.
• 2:25:36
  It was a serious seed, though, I'm telling you by God's grace
• 2:25:38
  with spiritual maturity. If I tell you a seed is serious,
• 2:25:41
  no matter how wealthy you are, that's what you feel.
• 2:25:44
  That one is not Ishmael, it's Isaac.
• 2:25:47
  Hallelujah. But I have learnt the glory and
• 2:25:52
  the joy of honoring and obeying God.
• 2:25:55
  And I remember after that seed went, it was as though a, a new
• 2:26:00
  layer you see. But no matter what you see in
• 2:26:03
  God, what you see is only the beginning.
• 2:26:05
  What God gives you is not all He intends to give you.
• 2:26:08
  He will test your faithfulness if he finds out that money does
• 2:26:12
  not distract you, does not derail you, does not confuse
• 2:26:16
  you. Your gaze is still on Jesus.
• 2:26:18
  You have passed the test for the next level and this is what God
• 2:26:21
  did. When God gives you both money
• 2:26:24
  and what money can buy, He blessed you.
• 2:26:28
  He blessed you. Are we together?
• 2:26:30
  Yes, I can tell you by the message of God, there are sons
• 2:26:34
  and daughters in this house that God raised from what they call
• 2:26:37
  grass to grace, people who understand how to engage the
• 2:26:41
  word of God. So I want you to do it.
• 2:26:43
  Don't don't look at it as if you are parting with this.
• 2:26:46
  It's as if your child is going no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 2:26:50
  You rather just keep it until you have a revelation of what
• 2:26:52
  you are doing so that you don't sin against your own conscience.
• 2:26:55
  Are we together? There's nothing wrong saying I
• 2:26:58
  don't understand, I don't agree, I don't believe this.
• 2:27:01
  You just keep it. And rather than just throwing
• 2:27:03
  money to become donation, are we together?
• 2:27:06
  It is wiser to stay with God and then investigate where you find
• 2:27:10
  peace in your spirit. You can obey it if I don't.
• 2:27:15
  Love you. I wouldn't tell you this kind.
• 2:27:16
  Of thing I would say give anyhow, whether you understand
• 2:27:18
  or but I wouldn't do that. We share God are we together?
• 2:27:23
  Praise the name of the Lord, I speak the blessing upon your
• 2:27:25
  seeds, and I decree and. Declare the name of.
• 2:27:29
  Jesus for everyone's seed that rests upon the soil of this
• 2:27:33
  vision. May the ordinances and the
• 2:27:35
  covenants that back this ministry.
• 2:27:38
  May they work gallantly in your life.
• 2:27:42
  For some of you before today's. Ended you will see potent
• 2:27:46
  results honestly I'm. Saying it from my heart for.
• 2:27:49
  Some of you you may have doubted that God brings increase, but
• 2:27:53
  this is the season you will see the hand of God for yourself in
• 2:27:58
  the name. Of Jesus Christ.
• 2:28:00
  Therefore, we release grace upon our global family and the body
• 2:28:03
  of Christ and all those who believe in this vision, all
• 2:28:06
  those who believe in this call in the name of Jesus, we decree
• 2:28:09
  and declare that we give in love.
• 2:28:11
  We give with joy. May the Lord be glorified in
• 2:28:14
  Jesus name. Please go ahead.
• 2:28:16

• 2:28:33
  Oshas, you can even see that we're not used to it.
• 2:28:35
  I don't even know how we're supposed to do it.
• 2:28:37
  This is something we're not even used to.
• 2:28:38
  So Oshas, if your seats are here, Oshas will just pass
• 2:28:42
  around with the baskets and then you can drop should in case you
• 2:28:45

  While you are doing that and the worship team is blessing us,
• 2:28:52
  just pray in the Spirit for one minute just to add to what you
• 2:28:55
  are doing, and then we're done. This is our final service.

• 2:30:08
  Hallelujah praise. The name of the Lord we have to
• 2:30:12
  wrap up our time is gone. So whilst your giving you can go
• 2:30:14
  on with your giving. But please give me the honour of
• 2:30:17
  doing the altar call. I've stretched you a bit.
• 2:30:19
  Let's be patient. It's our final service, someone.
• 2:30:23
  Here came to church. And you came downcast, and
• 2:30:28
  whilst you heard me giving this final charge, the Spirit of God
• 2:30:31
  began to minister to you that you need Jesus.
• 2:30:34
  You don't have to come out, but God wants you to come because he
• 2:30:38
  wants to give you a new beginning.
• 2:30:40
  You are in this place and you're saying, apostle, please do not
• 2:30:43
  close for tonight and for this year without giving me an
• 2:30:47
  opportunity to encounter this Jesus, the one who's changed our
• 2:30:50
  lives, male or female, young, old, wherever you are, in this
• 2:30:54
  auditorium, across the balcony, all the overflows, and for the
• 2:30:58
  many who are falling online, I'm going to count one to five.
• 2:31:01
  I just need one sincere person who is an apostle.
• 2:31:04
  If you will give me that opportunity, I'm not ashamed to
• 2:31:07
  come and make it right with Jesus.
• 2:31:09
  I'll count one to five. Those who are coming from
• 2:31:11
  outside, please hurry up, Make it very fast for your sake.
• 2:31:14
  We'll add one or two more minutes.
• 2:31:16
  I begin my counting now. One.

  Let's celebrate them as they come.

• 2:32:36
  a Christian. Can I join them?
• 2:32:37
  Absolutely. You can come and join them very

  I declare that you are the Son of God.
• 2:33:20
  I declare that I believe you died for my sin.
• 2:33:25
  Be my Savior, be my Lord, and be my king.
• 2:33:31
  I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell and the grave is
• 2:33:39
  broken over my life from tonight.
• 2:33:42
  I'm a child of God. I go from glory to glory and
• 2:33:47
  grace to grace. Amen.
• 2:33:50
  Keep your hands lifted Father. Thank you for this ones.
• 2:33:52
  The Bible declares that as many who will come to you, you will.
• 2:33:55
  In no wise castaway I speak over your lives that this begins your
• 2:34:00
  journey to victory in the name of Jesus.
• 2:34:02
  The power of sin, Satan, hell and the grave is broken over
• 2:34:06
  your life. I call you the righteousness of
• 2:34:08
  God in Christ Jesus and I decree and declare that your life goes
• 2:34:12
  forward and upwards only in Jesus, much less name.
• 2:34:16
  We pray Amen and Amen. Please look to my right.
• 2:34:19
  There are counselors waving the placard.
• 2:34:22
  I'd like you to follow them. Have a word with them.
• 2:34:24
  Very quick word. God bless you.
• 2:34:26
  And then you'll be back to your seat.
• 2:34:27
  Let's give them a big God bless you.
• 2:34:30
  Hallelujah. Now, I don't know how many of
• 2:34:33
  our children can have this. We have a little package for our
• 2:34:37
  children. Children in Koinonia means from
• 2:34:39
  age 1 to 10. Don't say I'm a child.
• 2:34:41
  You are a child. Yes, but children one to 10, if
• 2:34:45
  you are more than 10, don't embarrass yourself.
• 2:34:48
  One to 10, please. Hallelujah.
• 2:34:51
  I don't know how many of them, but let's see as many.
• 2:34:53
  Immediately after the service, please coordinate them.
• 2:34:56
  They can just file to the side. In there, there will be the
• 2:35:00
  welfare department. Just a little package just to
• 2:35:02
  honor them. We love children and we do some
• 2:35:05
  of these things. This is their own Koinonia
• 2:35:06
  service. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 2:35:09
  Like I told you, by God's grace, next year we're putting together
• 2:35:12
  a very proper children's department so that we'll make
• 2:35:15
  sure that our children also love the Lord.
• 2:35:19
  When we resume by January, we're going to call on many of you who
• 2:35:23
  are experts, professionals, you've been into children
• 2:35:26
  ministry to come and help us so that we build a very robust
• 2:35:29
  system. So if you know you belong to
• 2:35:31
  that, God has granted you that grace.
• 2:35:33
  You can even start doing some underground work so that when we
• 2:35:35
  meet, you can propose to us a template that works.
• 2:35:38
  Have you been blessed? Yes.
• 2:35:39
  Tonight, please. Rise up, everybody.
• 2:35:41
  I wish you a Merry Christmas. I wish you a Merry Christmas.
• 2:35:45
  I wish you a Merry Christmas. One more time.
• 2:35:47
