Send Me (Becoming God's Vessels) by Apostle Joshua Selman · Selah Media House

• 0:03
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
• 0:06
  Let's celebrate Jesus one more time.
• 0:11
  Amen. Can you walk up to two or three
• 0:17
  people and tell them good morning?
• 0:19
  Let them know that you are glad they are in the presence of God.
• 0:25
  Are you just looking around or you are walking to one or two
• 0:28
  people? Appreciate them sincerely.
• 0:33
  It's good to see you this morning.
• 0:35
  Tell them I'm glad you are among the living, and I'm glad that
• 0:43
  we'll enjoy His presence together.
• 0:45
  Amen, Father. We love and we honor you.
• 0:50
  Thank you for this morning, the privilege that you have granted
• 0:54
  us to drink from the fountain of wisdom that only you can give.
• 1:00
  We pray in the name of Jesus Christ that you speak to our
• 1:03
  hearts, help us to rise, help us to extending the Spirit and in
• 1:09
  the name of Jesus that our lives will never remain the same after
• 1:14
  this encounter, for in Jesus, much less name, we have prayed.
• 1:20
  Amen. Please be seated.
• 1:23
  Thank you again for this unique privilege and we'll just get
• 1:29
  straight to the business of the morning.
• 1:32
  The Lord began to deal with us yesterday along the lines of
• 1:39
  understanding His prophetic end time program.
• 1:43
  Yesterday when I began, we considered a few things that it
• 1:51
  is important for us to know that God has a program for the
• 1:55
  nations, God has a program for this region, and that we must
• 2:02
  understand his program and then be in alignment, submit
• 2:08
  ourselves to partner with what the Spirit of God is doing.
• 2:13
  And then we did say that God's prophetic program for the
• 2:18
  nations affect 3 categories of people #1 the world of
• 2:23
  unbelievers #2 the church, and #3 society.
• 2:29
  Hallelujah. And then we took the subject of
• 2:36
  the global harvest yesterday night for case study.
• 2:41
  We examined a few things from Matthew Chapter 9 being our
• 2:45
  text. Jesus wept.
• 2:49
  Well, it was it was it was a bleeding from his heart.
• 2:53
  He was moved with compassion and it was that the field was wide
• 2:58
  and yet the laborers were few. And he said, pray ye the Lord of
• 3:03
  the harvest, that you will send laborers.
• 3:06
  And so I told us that every time there is a problem as far as the
• 3:10
  harvest is concerned, the diagnosis based on Scripture and
• 3:14
  in the mind of Jesus is the inefficiency of the laborers.
• 3:20
  And the Lord challenged us yesterday to be aware in a
• 3:26
  greater measure of the need to see sinners and to see souls
• 3:32
  saved. This morning in continuation, I
• 3:38
  want to discuss now on the second level of the program of
• 3:43
  God that has to do with the church.
• 3:46
  Hallelujah. So we we dealt with the world of
• 3:49
  sinners and unbelievers, but the second assignment is to the
• 3:55
  church. And this morning, through the
• 3:58
  lens of Scripture, the Lord wants to show us the kind of
• 4:01
  vessel that can be used by God especially.
• 4:07
  In this end time, it is a costly assumption to believe that God
• 4:11
  will use everybody. It's a costlier assumption to
• 4:15
  believe that God will use every available vessel.
• 4:20
  The narrative until now is that once you are available, you will
• 4:24
  be used by God. That is not true.
• 4:27
  Even our world teaches us that it takes more than availability
• 4:32
  when students write jam or write whatever exam they are available
• 4:36
  to go to college. But not everybody makes the
• 4:39
  quarter. The life of Gideon and the story
• 4:42
  of Gideon is a revelation that many can be called, but in truth
• 4:46
  only few are chosen. So we need to examine through
• 4:51
  the lens of Scripture, what kind of a believer is God looking
• 4:55
  for? What kind of a man of God is God
• 4:59
  looking for? What kind of a vessel is God
• 5:02
  looking for? If it is true that God has
• 5:05
  standards and His standards are on bending His standards are
• 5:10
  uncompromising, then it is important for us to not just be
• 5:15
  aware that God wants to move across the nations and not just
• 5:18
  be aware that we can make ourselves available.
• 5:22
  But we need to know God's standards so that we obtain
• 5:25
  grace to rise to that level that can make us great unprepared
• 5:31
  vessels when it has to do with the program of God.
• 5:38
  God is not ashamed to declare His need for man as mighty and
• 5:44
  as great as God is. He has been very vocal and
• 5:48
  outspoken as to the fact that when it has to do with the
• 5:53
  advancement of his purposes on earth, he needs the cooperation
• 5:57
  and the partnership of man. From the moment he made that
• 6:01
  divine declaration in Genesis 126 down to 28, the Bible says,
• 6:08
  and Elohim said, Let us make man in our own image and after our
• 6:16
  likeness, He says, and let them have dominion.
• 6:22
  The moment that Otrans came out from the lips of God, it became
• 6:28
  scripturally incorrect for God to do anything on earth and
• 6:32
  leave man out of the program. Not because he does not have the
• 6:36
  sovereign power, the earth still remains the Lord, but from that
• 6:40
  statement he has come into an eternal partnership with man as
• 6:45
  far as his dealings on earth is concerned.
• 6:49
  There will always be a. Need for a man.
• 6:52
  It's important for us to appreciate this as an
• 6:54
  introduction this morning. Sometimes you see the Bible
• 6:57
  express God as though he were helpless, and you are tempted to
• 7:02
  ask God, you are so mighty, what is it about man that makes you
• 7:07
  so? Can't you push him out of the
• 7:09
  way and do everything yourself? This was a contemplation of the
• 7:13
  psalmist. Hallelujah, that should be Psalm
• 7:18
  8. The psalmist began to vocalize
• 7:21
  his contemplations. And he says, when I consider the
• 7:25
  works of your hands, this and that and that, all that you have
• 7:28
  created, what is man, that thou art mindful of him, nor the Son
• 7:35
  of Man. He says that thou visitest him.
• 7:38
  He says You have made him a little lower than the angels,
• 7:41
  the Word, the Elohim a little lower than God.
• 7:44
  You have crowned him with glory and virtue.
• 7:47
  And Paul quoting that scripture in Hebrews chapter 2 added a
• 7:51
  greater context to it. You have set him above the works
• 7:54
  of your hands. You have made him the zenith of
• 7:58
  your creation, and that in doing so you left nothing that was not
• 8:02
  under his feet. He says what we do not yet see
• 8:05
  all things under his feet. So let us have it as a very
• 8:11
  clear understanding that for as long as the program of God in
• 8:17
  this side of his Kingdom is concerned, God will always need
• 8:21
  men. You would hear expressions in
• 8:23
  Scripture. I sought for a man as a case
• 8:26
  study. Let's go to Isaiah chapter 6.
• 8:33
  The Bible begins the book of Isaiah with a very interesting
• 8:35
  rendition. Prophet Isaiah begins that book
• 8:38
  by given several profound prophecies.
• 8:42
  But when we get to chapter 6 and verse one six and verse one, the
• 8:46
  Bible says in the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord
• 8:54
  sitting upon a throne high and lifted up and his train filled
• 9:01
  the temple verse 2 and it stood above it stood the seraphims.
• 9:07
  Each one had 6 wings with twin they covered his face with twin
• 9:12
  he covered his feet and with twin he did fly the stream.
• 9:18
  And one cried onto another saying holy holy holy is the
• 9:22
  Lord God of host. The whole earth is full of his
• 9:25
  glory this fall, and the post of the Dome moved at the voice of
• 9:30
  him that cried, and the house was filled with.
• 9:32
  Smoke. Now when Isaiah saw this, he was
• 9:37
  watching this in a vision. He said, War is me, for I am
• 9:42
  undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the
• 9:48
  midst of a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the
• 9:52
  king, the Lord of hosts. Verse 6 Then flew one of the
• 9:57
  seraphims unto me, having a life coal in his hands, which he had
• 10:02
  taken with the tongues from the altar.
• 10:06
  And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this had touched
• 10:10
  thy lips, and thy iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
• 10:16
  And also I heard a voice of the Lord, saying, Verse 8 is my
• 10:21
  verse of emphasis. Whom shall I send?
• 10:26
  And. Who will go for us, Whom shall I
• 10:31
  send, and who will go for us? This is a divine call from God
• 10:39
  himself. Look at the kind of glory and
• 10:43
  splendor that was described from verse one down to verse 5.
• 10:48
  How can such a great God? Look at the beauty of the
• 10:51
  Seraphims themselves, covered with six wings.
• 10:55
  With two, they covered their. Faces.
• 10:59
  With two they cover their feet, and with two they feel, should
• 11:03
  such a God be in need of anybody?
• 11:09
  Isaiah said The whole earth is filled with his glory, and that
• 11:13
  even his vision, the smoke of his presence, filled everywhere.
• 11:18
  And instead of God making a declaration to say, Isaiah, let
• 11:22
  it be known to you that I am God all by myself.
• 11:25
  I can do anything I want to do. I am alpha, Omega.
• 11:30
  You would think that is the kind of sound that should come from
• 11:34
  such splendor. And yet in the midst of that
• 11:37
  splendor, the sound that comes out is, who shall go for us?
• 11:42
  Who shall I send, and who shall go for us?
• 11:47
  And Isaiah said, here am I send me.
• 11:54
  Many believers wonder why in every generation it looks as if
• 12:00
  God just isolates a few people, particularly as touching the
• 12:05
  fivefold ministry, and then they receive such a mighty investment
• 12:10
  of His grace and power upon their lives, doing great and
• 12:14
  mighty things for God throughout their generation.
• 12:17
  While it looks like there is a crowd of others just crowning to
• 12:20
  find relevance as far as spiritual things are concerned.
• 12:25
  This troubled me for many years as to why a God that is so
• 12:29
  benevolent and lavish would seem to be so meticulous about the
• 12:34
  use of men, until I found out that it took more than
• 12:40
  availability to be used by. God.
• 12:43
  So let's join you a bit to see a few of the factors that
• 12:47
  determine God using a man. Because I can tell you in the
• 12:53
  Southeast, God is still looking for men.
• 12:56
  In this nation, God is still looking for men.
• 13:00
  In the world today, God is still looking for men.
• 13:03
  We examined yesterday that Jesus himself said truly the harvest
• 13:08
  is wide, but the laborers are few.
• 13:12
  And he left us with a recommendation.
• 13:15
  He said pray ye the Lord of the harvest, that he will recruit
• 13:18
  more laborers. Hallelujah.
• 13:22
  And God's recruitment system is about the strictest I'm aware
• 13:27
  of. In our world today, there are
• 13:30
  many corporations that sometimes they call to receive new
• 13:37
  employees, new staff structure, and sometimes you see the
• 13:41
  burdensome requirements that they put.
• 13:44
  You must have this number of years of experience, you must
• 13:48
  have this range of qualifications.
• 13:50
  And even at that, it does not guarantee by itself that you
• 13:54
  will get the job. And you can find out for a job
• 13:57
  with a vacancy of 10 or 15 spaces, you can find as much as
• 14:02
  15,000 graduates apply. Am I right on that?
• 14:06
  And people invent all kinds of skills.
• 14:08
  Some use their uncles who are working there, other people go
• 14:12
  to church for prayer, other people consult shrines.
• 14:15
  And everybody invents his skill to ensure that he gets into that
• 14:18
  place. And at the end of it, it looks
• 14:21
  like there are a few people who seem to secure that spot.
• 14:25
  And if you go and ask the HR department, they will tell you
• 14:29
  that they are a kind. They may all be graduates, they
• 14:33
  may be all certified, but there are certain people that the
• 14:37
  corporation is looking for. And the reason why those
• 14:41
  corporations have the standards that are desired is because they
• 14:44
  do not compromise on their standards.
• 14:48
  God loves everybody. What is important for us to know
• 14:51
  that He's passionate about the fruition of His program, and
• 14:56
  that passionate is what has driven His strictness in the
• 15:00
  kinds of vessels that He uses and that He will use.
• 15:05
  There are three requirements that the Bible reveals as to the
• 15:14
  kind of man God uses the kind of vessel that God desires to use
• 15:21
  and I want you to please lend me your attention.
• 15:24
  Scripture starts by saying Apostle Peter teaching us.
• 15:28
  Nevertheless the foundation of the Lord standard show it says
• 15:31
  having this seal that the Lord knoweth them that are he's then
• 15:37
  he says and let every man that name the name of Christ depart
• 15:41
  from iniquity. Then he says, but in a great
• 15:43
  house, that there are four kinds of vessels in every great house
• 15:48
  #1 vessels of gold #2 vessels of silver #3 vessels of wood #4
• 15:58
  vessels of clay. And the Bible says already by
• 16:02
  that description some vessels are ordained onto honor, and
• 16:07
  some vessels are onto dishonor. But that you can transit.
• 16:12
  This is the good news. That should be first, Peter.
• 16:16
  I thought he was. Looking for it OK.
• 16:18
  Second Timothy, now two, and let's do 20 and 21.
• 16:24
  Second Timothy 221 That was Paul mentoring his son Timothy.
• 16:30
  But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of
• 16:38
  silver, but also of wood and of earth.
• 16:41
  And it says some vessels are on to honor and some dishonor.
• 16:45
  Now watch 21 carefully. Apostle Paul is teaching us in
• 16:50
  this Scripture that a possibility exists that you can
• 16:54
  evolve yourself from any level and any kind of vessel.
• 16:59
  You are into the highest quality of vessels.
• 17:06
  Now scientifically, clay cannot become silver, clay cannot
• 17:13
  become gold, wood cannot become gold.
• 17:17
  But here is Paul teaching us that in the spirit transiting.
• 17:21
  In quality as a vessel, is possible that I can start as a
• 17:28
  vessel of wood and a vessel of clay?
• 17:32
  Do you know the difference? The difference in the quality of
• 17:36
  these vessels are only revealed in the presence of fire.
• 17:41
  You never know how qualitative they are until you expose them
• 17:46
  to fire. When you expose wood to fire it
• 17:52
  it it just completely burns off. When you expose clay to fire, it
• 17:59
  breaks, but when you expose silver and gold, it becomes
• 18:04
  malleable enough to be molded into any shape you desire, but
• 18:09
  there is no disintegration. Are we together?
• 18:13
  So he's saying that these four kinds of because of the
• 18:18
  fierceness of the assignment that the vessels will be
• 18:21
  involved in. He's saying there are some
• 18:24
  vessels because they have chosen to.
• 18:26
  Remain in that state. Their destiny will be
• 18:28
  dishonored. Eventually they will not last,
• 18:32
  not because it is the will of God to keep them that way.
• 18:35
  The quality of the vessel they have assumed does not have
• 18:39
  longevity in view. Are we together?
• 18:44
  So he's now saying there is a condition upon which a man can
• 18:51
  evolve to become a most superior vessel.
• 18:57
  And the keys found in verse 21. If a man therefore purge himself
• 19:05
  from these, he says he shall be a vessel unto honor.
• 19:11
  That means becoming a vessel unto honor is not just the will
• 19:17
  of God per SE, it is totally the responsibility of the individual
• 19:22
  vessel. He says He shall be a vessel
• 19:27
  unto honor, sanctify and meet for the masters, use, and then
• 19:32
  prepared unto every good work. May we be such vessels in the
• 19:38
  name of Jesus Christ. I have studied great people who
• 19:46
  have been used by God in modern history and from Scripture, all
• 19:53
  in a bid to piece together the ingredients that truly makes the
• 19:58
  money usable by God. I wanted that first for my life
• 20:03
  and then to be able to extend that information to be a
• 20:06
  blessing to as many who sincerely desire to be used by
• 20:10
  God. I studied materials of men like
• 20:13
  TL Osborne. Materials of men like Lester
• 20:16
  Sumrall, great prophets who had gone to be with the Lord,
• 20:20
  consulted materials of our fathers of faith.
• 20:23
  What exactly did God find in this man that made them greatly
• 20:29
  used by God? And I came up with three keys
• 20:33
  and this is what I want to share this morning.
• 20:35
  Number one, the first requirement, non negotiable
• 20:42
  demand that God must find in an individual to be greatly used by
• 20:48
  him is called the purity of your heart.
• 20:53
  Please write it down the purity of your heart in order of
• 20:59
  priority. I have worked with God a bit, I
• 21:02
  tell you with all humility and I can tell you that this I have
• 21:06
  learnt about God the greatest. Posture that a man can take to
• 21:14
  secure the attention of God over your life is the state of your
• 21:19
  heart the state of your heart vetoes your prayer life the
• 21:23
  state of your heart vetoes your fasting the state of your heart
• 21:28
  vetoes your. Bible study.
• 21:30
  There is no other Christian experience that is exalted
• 21:34
  higher than the state of your heart.
• 21:36
  Every other thing in your life as a Christian activity only
• 21:41
  finds its relevance with respect to the state of your heart.
• 21:46
  Please understand this. Our world today is full of very
• 21:50
  sincere spiritual activities, from fastings to prayer to watch
• 21:57
  study to all kinds of spiritual activities.
• 22:01
  And many people find out that the more they engage in these
• 22:05
  activities, it looks like these activities carry a semblance of
• 22:09
  it's it captures within it the ability to bring them closer to
• 22:14
  God. But in practicing these things,
• 22:16
  they still find out that what they are looking for is truly
• 22:20
  not found because it is not found in activities is found in
• 22:24
  a state. There must be a posture that any
• 22:28
  belief who desires to be used by God If you want to be used by
• 22:33
  God as a vessel, I tell you the truth.
• 22:35
  No matter what else you bring to the table if it is outside of
• 22:40
  the. Purity of the state of your
• 22:41
  heart. God cannot do much with you.
• 22:47
  Do you know the reason why David and his status in the Bible
• 22:53
  called a man after God's heart? I don't know how many times
• 22:59
  David had direct encounters with God, but there are people in
• 23:03
  scripture who had greater encounters than David.
• 23:07
  An example, Moses. Moses was called the meekest
• 23:11
  man, but never called a man after God's heart.
• 23:14
  Look at the laborious assignments that was given to
• 23:18
  Moses to take God's covenant people from Egypt, the land of
• 23:23
  captivity, and to take them to Canaan, a land flowing with milk
• 23:28
  and honey. God called him the meekest man,
• 23:32
  and yet he never had that report that he was a man after God's
• 23:36
  heart. How about other prophets who had
• 23:40
  great encounters with God? Not even somewhere the mighty
• 23:44
  prophet was called a man after God's heart.
• 23:48
  If you want to know the life of David.
• 23:51
  And why God called him a man after his heart.
• 23:53
  You go and study the entire life of David.
• 23:56
  At the end of it, you will almost be confused as to why
• 23:59
  such a man as to why such a man should be called.
• 24:06
  Maybe you may need to put your phones on silent.
• 24:09
  Please. A man after God's heart, how
• 24:13
  does he call a man like David a man after God's heart?
• 24:19
  Read your Bible and see some of the atrocities that David
• 24:22
  committed. Read your Bible and see some of
• 24:25
  the things that David went through, the reason for Uriah's
• 24:30
  death, the reason for many other things that happened.
• 24:34
  And yet, among the many things that God could accord, this man
• 24:39
  was the status. Of a man after my heart.
• 24:43
  There are many names that God gives men.
• 24:46
  God is not careless in naming men certain things.
• 24:48
  He called Abraham my friend. You know what it means to be a
• 24:52
  friend of God. We're not discussing that.
• 24:56
  But do not downplay that status. If a man is called a friend of
• 25:00
  God, it is a very serious commendation.
• 25:04
  There are some things that will not happen to you again when you
• 25:08
  become a friend of God. For instance, you cannot be lost
• 25:12
  again. It is a privilege for you to be
• 25:16
  lost. God will take you even if it's
• 25:19
  an untimely death, but you will not be lost again.
• 25:22
  It is a status and an honor when a man is called a friend of God.
• 25:30
  Hallelujah. The second thing that you earn
• 25:33
  as the friend of God is that there is nothing He does within
• 25:37
  His program that He will keep you.
• 25:40
  Outside of that information, that's what happened to Abraham.
• 25:44
  Shall I hide this from Abraham? He had to come and tell Abraham,
• 25:49
  this is what I want to do to Sodom and Gomorrah.
• 25:51
  And Abraham says stop, I have an interest there, do not go yet.
• 25:55
  There is somebody's interest that I need to protect.
• 25:58
  And he literally negotiated the salvation.
• 26:01
  Of Lot and his family, the friend of God.
• 26:07
  So you now understand what he meant when he told the apostles.
• 26:10
  He said I no longer call you servants, but friends.
• 26:14
  They didn't even know what you were saying.
• 26:17
  That is the reason why even in heaven, the foundation of the
• 26:21
  New Jerusalem has their name, the names of the 12 apostles.
• 26:26
  Can you imagine that? Let's get back to what we're
• 26:31
  discussing the purity. Of your heart.
• 26:37
  Let me show you a scripture Second Chronicles 25 one and. 2.
• 26:43
  Second Chronicles 25 one and. 2A Very interesting story about a
• 26:49
  king called a Messiah. We're going to read verse one
• 26:53
  and two together. We're ready 1.
• 26:57
  To read please. A Messiah was 20 and five years
• 27:01
  old when he began to reign. And he reigned 20 and nine years
• 27:07
  in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Jehoiada of Jerusalem.
• 27:14
  Now read verse 2 as loud as you can one to read.
• 27:17
  And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but
• 27:22
  not with a perfect heart one more time.
• 27:31
  What kind of a statement is this?
• 27:34
  How can you do what was right in the sight of the Lord?
• 27:40
  And then the Lord says even though this was right, there is
• 27:43
  still a problem with it. The problem was not the
• 27:46
  correctness of the activity. The problem was the state of the
• 27:50
  heart that executed it. That a man can preach correctly
• 27:56
  and yet be found wanting in the Spirit.
• 27:59
  A man can do evangelism correctly and still be found
• 28:03
  wanting in the Spirit. You can build ministry correctly
• 28:07
  and still be found wanting. The Bible says give us that
• 28:10
  scripture. He did what was right in the
• 28:17
  sight of the Lord. But there was a problem.
• 28:24
  He was not a fake man of God. He was not a fake prophet.
• 28:29
  He was not a fake apostle. He was not a fake preacher.
• 28:34
  Genuine. You would come and see Him
• 28:37
  preach, and you will be so convicted by His message.
• 28:42
  And yet, in marking His script, the Lord gives us the marking
• 28:46
  standard that beyond the correctness of a man's activity,
• 28:52
  the first thing that is marked in the Spirit is the state of
• 28:57
  your heart. Never forget the scripture for
• 29:00
  the rest of your life. You can fast right, You can pray
• 29:05
  right, You can give right. You can preach right.
• 29:10
  You can do business right and be surprised that in spite of the
• 29:15
  correctness of your activity, heaven still finds you wanting.
• 29:21
  A Messiah. He served.
• 29:24
  He did what was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with
• 29:30
  a perfect heart. The.
• 29:42
  Purity of a man's heart is the principal determinant of your
• 29:48
  doing business with God, of your being used by God, mightily used
• 29:53
  by God. Beyond your activities, God
• 29:58
  looks at the state of your heart.
• 30:00
  Every man you see. That God has used and is using
• 30:05
  greatly, I can tell you. Whether you believe it or not,
• 30:08
  there is something God has found about the sincerity of their
• 30:11
  heart. No wonder in choosing vessels,
• 30:17
  by the time you see God's selection, you will be.
• 30:20
  Angry because when God is done choosing the kinds of people,
• 30:24
  they do not match what you would have wanted.
• 30:26
  It does not make sense. Are we together now?
• 30:31
  Do you know the reason why Jonah ran away from the instruction
• 30:35
  God gave him? There was something about God.
• 30:39
  Jonah knew that out of these depraved people who were idol
• 30:44
  worshippers, who were insincere people, that if you went and he
• 30:49
  preached to them that as bad as they were, their hearts were
• 30:53
  still pure because their activity was a product of their
• 30:58
  orientation and they had not been given a chance yet to
• 31:01
  declare whether they love God or not.
• 31:03
  And so God seemed to have an interest in a terrible nation
• 31:07
  called Nineveh. And Jonah knew this, that God
• 31:10
  will look beyond the wrongness of their activity, that in spite
• 31:15
  of the fact that that land was in decadence, the purity of
• 31:18
  their heart was crying for help. And he said, Jonah, go to them.
• 31:22
  And Jonah said, I know something about God.
• 31:24
  By the time I now preach, these people will repent and you will
• 31:27
  forgive them. As if he did not see anything,
• 31:29
  they did, and Jonah ran away Immediately.
• 31:35
  Jonah ran away. He became an enemy of God.
• 31:38
  There's no time I would have taught you what it means to be
• 31:41
  an enemy of God. To be an enemy of God does not
• 31:44
  mean to be satanic. The moment you become an
• 31:47
  inconsistent interruption to his program, even if he's the one
• 31:52
  who ordained you, you become an enemy of God.
• 31:54
  So when you are praying the prayer, let God arise and all
• 31:58
  his enemies verify first that you are not one of them.
• 32:04
  Did you hear what I said? Jonah was not a fake prophet,
• 32:09
  but because he became an interruption to God's program in
• 32:13
  Nineveh, look at how messless His judgment came.
• 32:17
  People received Prophet Jonah into their boat and started
• 32:21
  going down. They lost their businesses.
• 32:24
  They lost their relevance. They were about to lose their
• 32:27
  lives. How can a mighty prophet be the
• 32:29
  reason for the downfall of many? If you know God, you will know
• 32:33
  that it's not about being fake or real.
• 32:35
  It's about being in His program or outside of His program.
• 32:41
  So the moment you say I am a genuine man of God, to mean
• 32:44
  because I am a genuine man of God, God's program must be
• 32:48
  advanced through my life. You are in error.
• 32:50
  There are many genuine people who are interruptions to God's
• 32:54
  program. Are you learning now?
• 32:58
  Yes. How can Jonah, the Bible never
• 33:04
  charge Jonah with falsehood? The Bible never charged Jonah
• 33:08
  with idolatry. And yet because he refused to go
• 33:12
  and preach to Nineveh, a land that he was justifiably angry
• 33:17
  this way, a people written by their activities.
• 33:20
  They were wicked people, yet their hearts were pure.
• 33:24
  You now see why Jesus taught in the Beatitudes.
• 33:27
  Blessed are the pure. In heart.
• 33:31
  There is a reward for them, he says.
• 33:33
  They shall see God. The purity in heart is a
• 33:37
  requirement for encounters, my God.
• 33:40
  That means someone can be smoking and can be drinking and
• 33:45
  God is looking beyond that wickedness and he's looking at
• 33:49
  the state of his heart and the language of his heart is saying
• 33:52
  I need a Savior. And Jesus Christ will come and
• 33:55
  appear to that gentleman under a bridge and say, I have come to
• 33:59
  visit you and you are wondering why another person is fasting 3
• 34:03
  days dry and may never have an encounter.
• 34:06
  I hope you know that the heart of men has a voice.
• 34:10
  Say not in your heart. A man's heart can have a voice
• 34:16
  beyond the activities of men. God listens to the heart of man.
• 34:21
  I can pretend here and be doing a lot of religiosity and say,
• 34:26
  oh, Apostle Joshua Selman, this is a humble man of God.
• 34:30
  And then heaven is watching while all that religious drama
• 34:33
  is happening just to make a name heavens and is hearing the voice
• 34:38
  of pride, the voice of on seriousness, are we?
• 34:44
  Learning now. No wonder in selecting the one
• 34:50
  who would be the King David, I hope you know David's been a man
• 34:55
  after God's heart did not just happen when he was king.
• 34:59
  It was why he was called in the 1st place.
• 35:02
  That gentleman was in the wilderness where nobody saw him,
• 35:06
  nobody could clap for him, and yet he defended his father's
• 35:10
  ship even at the expense of his life, with nobody to see.
• 35:16
  And he did not come back and tell his father this is what
• 35:18
  happened when it was time to anoint.
• 35:24
  Even the great Samwell with his height of discernment was about
• 35:28
  to make a mistake. And God said, hold on, this is
• 35:31
  not how I judge. If you were to judge Alia and
• 35:35
  all his brothers, you would see them as people of.
• 35:38
  Stature and intelligence, are we together now?
• 35:45
  And yet that was not how God judged them.
• 35:49
  So a correct prophet with the ability to hear God says no to
• 35:56
  God's program and becomes God's enemy immediately.
• 36:02
  He goes to board a ship going at the other side, and because of
• 36:07
  that, all the passengers in his ship started losing things.
• 36:13
  There was a storm. Now do you know that the
• 36:18
  anointing was not designed to fight God?
• 36:23
  The anointing only fights what is Antichrist.
• 36:26
  That means if God is the factor and the resistance behind your
• 36:30
  life, no amount of prayer except the prayer of mercy will save
• 36:34
  you. There are many people trying to
• 36:37
  use the anointing to stop things.
• 36:39
  That is the very resistance of God that is bringing it.
• 36:44
  You see our ignorance. We think the anointing is just a
• 36:46
  multi purpose instrument that fights anything, even God.
• 36:50
  No, the anointing has a protocol for its function.
• 36:55
  It must verify that what is the cause of that problem is
• 36:59
  Antichrist. Then it can fight it and bring
• 37:01
  it to order. Because the assignment of the
• 37:03
  anointing is to bring all things into the will of God.
• 37:07
  That is a singular assignment of the anointing.
• 37:11
  Before the anointing walks, it verifies the will of God with
• 37:15
  respect to that situation. So if an individual is sick, the
• 37:20
  anointing diagnosis that state with respect to the will of God
• 37:24
  and knows that this is not the will of God now it can flow
• 37:27
  freely because it's assignment now becomes to bring
• 37:31
  confirmation to the world outside of the will of God.
• 37:34
  The anointing has no assignment except to confirm and to bring
• 37:38
  compliancy. To the will of God are we
• 37:41
  learning this morning? So we're examining the factors
• 37:45
  that will cause a vessel to be used by God and number one was
• 37:49
  saying the purity of your heart. And we consider the Scripture.
• 37:55
  Let's look at it one more time. I don't want you to forget that
• 37:58
  Scripture. Not Jonah, my dear media man.
• 38:01
  Second Chronicles 25 and verse 2.
• 38:06
  Let's read it again. And he did that which was right
• 38:10
  in the sight of the Lord. But not with a perfect heart.
• 38:16
  He preached correctly from a doctrinal standpoint.
• 38:21
  There was no error in what he said, yet it did not produce the
• 38:24
  effect you thought would produce.
• 38:26
  You wrote the book correctly, theologically accurate, yet the
• 38:31
  impact that should come from it did not come.
• 38:33
  You sang correctly when you came on stage.
• 38:36
  Nothing wrong with the revelation of your song, but
• 38:38
  while you were singing, people were just watching you as you
• 38:41
  were reciting a poem to yourself.
• 38:43
  The power that should accompany the correctness of that activity
• 38:47
  did not follow it. There's something wrong with the
• 38:49
  heart. When everything is right and the
• 38:54
  result still does not come, the problem is not the activity, the
• 38:58
  problem is the heart. Let me repeat myself.
• 39:01
  When everything is right, your tithing is right, your giving is
• 39:07
  right, your everything is right, and yet the result that should
• 39:11
  follow does not follow. Forget about the activity and go
• 39:15
  back to reexamine the state of your heart.
• 39:17
  When your preaching is right, theologically constructed, right
• 39:22
  with power and passion, yet the transformation that should
• 39:26
  follow your teaching does not follow.
• 39:28
  Leave the issue of the sermon and go back to examine the state
• 39:32
  of your heart. Many people would have
• 39:34
  experienced deliverance faster if they understood that most of
• 39:39
  the things we think are the problems in our lives and our
• 39:42
  ministries are truly not the problem.
• 39:46
  It's not the problem of the elders, even though it looks
• 39:49
  like eldership is the problem in the church.
• 39:51
  It's not the problem of money, even though it looks like money
• 39:55
  is the real problem. It's not the problem of witches
• 39:57
  and Wizards coming to your church to masquerade as choir
• 39:59
  members or masquerade as protocol members.
• 40:02
  That that is not the issue in that.
• 40:04
  You notice that in diagnosing problems, we diagnose every
• 40:07
  other thing but the heart. Why is this church not growing,
• 40:14
  for instance? I think it's because we're at a
• 40:16
  wrong location. No, I think it's because maybe
• 40:19
  my summons are not. Correct.
• 40:21
  Maybe they are too short, maybe they are too long.
• 40:24
  Maybe to alter and we invent all kinds of skills that touch every
• 40:29
  other activity. But the real problem, the state
• 40:35
  of the heart. The state of the heart.
• 40:42
  I have had people come to meet me and say apostle, I'm tired of
• 40:45
  this thing. I don't know what God wants
• 40:47
  again. I fasted till I'm almost feeling
• 40:49
  sick. No power, no revelation.
• 40:53
  In the midst of the fasting and prayer, I still had the dream I
• 40:56
  was trying to avoid. Again.
• 40:58
  Those spirits came as if they are not aware that I'm praying
• 41:03
  in a prayer program. After three hours of praying, I
• 41:06
  just wanted to take a short nap. And at just that 5 minutes, I
• 41:10
  was still in my village again. What kind of, what kind of of
• 41:14
  of, of discouragement is this? The problem is not the activity.
• 41:23
  Correcting the activity without correcting your heart will only
• 41:27
  recycle your frustration. Let me say it again, correcting
• 41:32
  the activity without correcting your.
• 41:35
  Heart and I hope you know that the Lord has a lot of things to
• 41:43
  say about the heart of man. Jeremiah 17, nine and 10.
• 41:47
  Please give it to us. Let's see God's own diagnosis
• 41:51
  about and concerning the heart of man.
• 41:53
  The Bible says the heart is deceitful.
• 41:57
  That means the heart is so deceitful it can deceive even
• 42:00
  its owner. You, who is the owner of the
• 42:04
  heart, can be deceived by your own heart.
• 42:08
  The heart of man is deceitful above all things he said, and
• 42:13
  desperately wicked. Who can know it?
• 42:16
  Verse 10 watch how God. Rewards Let's read 1 to read,
• 42:20
  please. I, the Lord, search the heart.
• 42:24
  I try the reigns even to give every man according to his ways
• 42:31
  and according to the fruit of His doings.
• 42:33
  That means in rewarding men, in opening doors, in allocating
• 42:38
  graces. I look beyond just the zeal.
• 42:42
  There is something about the heart of man that I search for
• 42:49
  the first requirement to be a vessel onto honor, to transit
• 42:53
  from a vessel of wood and clay to a vessel of silver and gold.
• 42:59
  To be like that man that the Lord is seeking for.
• 43:03
  To change nations, to change the climate of Enugu, the southeast,
• 43:08
  to be lifted as a vessel right from this place to the ends of
• 43:12
  the earth. Ladies and gentlemen, let's
• 43:14
  forget about the issue of church for one minute.
• 43:16
  Let's forget about the issue of apostle and prophet for one
• 43:19
  minute. Let's forget about the issue of
• 43:21
  intelligent ministrations for one minute.
• 43:24
  And let's allow the Lord, that great physician, to perform a
• 43:29
  surgery in our. Hearts One of the worst medical
• 43:35
  cases an individual can have is cardiac arrest or anything that
• 43:40
  has to do with your heart. Are we together?
• 43:43
  Medical science would tell us that the major reason why people
• 43:46
  lose their lives is that eventually their hearts fail.
• 43:50
  There are organs that. Fail in your body and you can
• 43:52
  steal. The ball can still be running.
• 43:55
  But not when your heart fails. Leave every other thing in your
• 43:58
  body right? But let your heart fail and you
• 44:00
  will die in an instant with a correct brain.
• 44:03
  You will still die with feet, that is.
• 44:06
  Healthy you will still. Die with a body that you have
• 44:08
  labored taking it to the gym, you will still die.
• 44:13
  But there are people whose feet have been amputated and yet they
• 44:17
  are alive. There are people who have lost
• 44:19
  fingers. There are people who have lost
• 44:21
  their sense of smell, lost their sense of hearing, lost their
• 44:25
  sense of sight. There are even cases of people
• 44:28
  who have dementia. There are people who have had
• 44:30
  brain damage and regardless what happens to them, the
• 44:34
  deterioration provided their hearts are still pumping, there
• 44:38
  is still hope for them. When you borrow that, that means
• 44:46
  your church building can still be working properly, the chairs
• 44:49
  can still be working well, the television station still working
• 44:53
  well. You're speaking as a man of God.
• 44:55
  Stillwell, intelligence still there.
• 44:58
  But the moment your heart is wrong, there is a spiritual
• 45:03
  cardiac arrest and you will not understand the reason why in
• 45:07
  spite of partners, in spite of branches, in spite of
• 45:11
  everything, there is no motion, there is no progress.
• 45:15
  I am telling you that the number one key in being used by God is
• 45:20
  your heart condition. You.
• 45:28
  Are the 1st. You are the street.
• 45:35
  You are the hunger leaving deep inside of me.
• 45:43
  You are the food that satisfies. You are provision for the
• 45:54
  journey of my life. You are.
• 46:02
  Everything. When you get to a point in your
• 46:07
  life where your love for Jesus becomes greater than your love
• 46:12
  for fame, your love for Jesus becomes greater than your
• 46:16
  passion for anointing, your love for Jesus becomes greater than
• 46:21
  your desire to be a celebrity. Your love for Jesus becomes
• 46:27
  greater than your ability or your desire to have
• 46:31
  ministrations, to be a great person.
• 46:34
  Then you have gotten to that realm, that rare realm in the
• 46:38
  Spirit where only few men ever get to.
• 46:43
  Now let me tell you this. Nobody has the.
• 46:47
  Power to make his heart pure. You only have the power to allow
• 46:52
  God make it pure. Did you hear what I said?
• 46:57
  It is not within your power to make your heart pure.
• 47:01
  The journey of the purification of a man's heart is equal to the
• 47:06
  journey to death. Nobody, no matter how sincere it
• 47:13
  is not given to you to make your heart pure by yourself.
• 47:17
  You can only give God allowance and say, Father, I don't know
• 47:21
  how far this journey is going to take me, but let's begin that
• 47:24
  journey. And when you start that journey,
• 47:28
  step by step, He will begin to lead you to several processes.
• 47:33
  Let me tell you how God purifies the hearts of men, what I'm
• 47:38
  about to tell you. May disturb some of you, but
• 47:42
  that is the truth. There are three strategies in
• 47:46
  the Bible that God uses to purify the hearts of men.
• 47:50
  Number one is called the furnace of affliction.
• 47:55
  That's why I said it would disturb many of you.
• 48:01
  Count it all joy, my brethren. When you face diverse
• 48:05
  temptations, he says, knowing this, that the.
• 48:09
  Trying of your faith walketh. Patience.
• 48:14
  And that if you allow patience verse 4 now James one, let
• 48:18
  patience have her perfect. Walk.
• 48:20
  What will it make you? That ye may be perfect and
• 48:24
  entire wanting nothing. There is something called the
• 48:31
  furnace of affliction and the goal is not to destroy you.
• 48:38
  When you read Isaiah 43 verse one and two, it says fear not, I
• 48:43
  have redeemed you or Israel think someone to become a
• 48:47
  Kingdom financier and gives him an instruction.
• 48:51
  Give away your car, give away your house, empty your account
• 48:55
  and you say no, this is God. This is unfair.
• 48:57
  How can this brother, somebody that gave me a lift last week,
• 49:01
  is trekking today and God says leave me, I know what I'm doing.
• 49:06
  Because the kind of wealth I want to trust to this man can
• 49:08
  kill him if that circumcision does not happen.
• 49:11
  And so God says, leave him, and you now get up and say no, I
• 49:15
  make up my. Mind my friend.
• 49:17
  I decided to rent a house for you.
• 49:18
  Moving there you'll become an interruption.
• 49:22
  I have taught you that you don't have to be fake to be an enemy
• 49:26
  of God. The moment you are a consistent
• 49:29
  interrupter of his program, you become his enemy, even if you
• 49:33
  are Jonah in the Kingdom. It's not always about fake and
• 49:39
  real. It's about the will of God or
• 49:42
  the wise. When the captain of the Lord's
• 49:45
  army appeared to Joshua, Joshua asked him a very interesting
• 49:49
  question. He said, are you for us or
• 49:51
  against us? What was the answer?
• 49:53
  He said. Neither.
• 49:54
  In other words, that's not how God works.
• 49:56
  When he comes, he does not take side.
• 49:58
  His will is always his side. So an unbeliever can be in the
• 50:03
  will of God, and while you are praying for God to destroy him,
• 50:07
  God will leave him there even if he's a politician because he has
• 50:10
  found out that he's been in his will who achieved his purposes
• 50:14
  much more because that is how God raised Cyrus's.
• 50:17
  This is a mystery about God. So you can see a CEO who may not
• 50:24
  be a Christian and you will be praying and say God get this guy
• 50:27
  out of the way and let the tongue talking person sit there.
• 50:30
  And God examines your prayer in light of his wheel and fights
• 50:35
  out that based on the conclusion that his will has provided, this
• 50:39
  vessel is the most appropriate for now because all the other
• 50:43
  vessels will not break his wheel.
• 50:44
  No matter how you pray, God will not take that man out of that
• 50:47
  place. Listen, This is why your prayer
• 50:51
  does not carry much if it is outside the will of God.
• 50:56
  And this is the confidence that we have is that in your Bible
• 50:59
  that when we ask anything not according to our desire,
• 51:04
  according to his will, there is a guarantee that he here at.
• 51:08
  US. Most people do not know how
• 51:15
  determined God is to see His will come to pass.
• 51:23
  Read your Bible and see how God punished even the people He
• 51:27
  loved because they became an interruption to His will.
• 51:31
  Who would know that God would be the reason for the captivity of
• 51:34
  Israel? Yet He was the same when you
• 51:36
  study scripture. If you study scripture outside
• 51:40
  of the will of God, God would look like a confusing person to
• 51:43
  you. One moment you are bringing
• 51:45
  deliverance to a people, next moment you are the one giving
• 51:48
  access to their enemies to destroy them.
• 51:50
  What kind of a God are you like that?
• 51:52
  Because everything in his economy revolves around His
• 51:55
  will. Hallelujah.
• 52:01
  So you can find a man as a man of God.
• 52:05
  You can look at a gentleman in your church and God will tell
• 52:08
  you this guy, I have called him to be a great worshipper.
• 52:14
  But the prophet that God should raise from your church, he's not
• 52:17
  willing to work with God and he's not willing to be serious.
• 52:20
  And that vacancy becomes here for a long time.
• 52:23
  If the worshipper starts aligning himself to the training
• 52:27
  of a prophet, God can switch his assignment and give him that.
• 52:30
  Bishop Rick, He can start as a worshipper and not know what
• 52:34
  evolved him into a prophet. Because in God's mind, there is
• 52:38
  nothing like he must be like this forever.
• 52:40
  Everything is with respect to His will, and He can change if
• 52:44
  it interrupts His will. Is someone learning this
• 52:49
  morning? These are things that we need to
• 52:52
  understand. The will of God is the focal
• 52:55
  point in God's dealing with men. More love more.
• 53:06
  Power more of you in my life. More love, more Power, more of
• 53:24
  you in my life. Ladies and gentlemen, when Jesus
• 53:32
  was in Gethsemane, he prayed a very disturbing prayer.
• 53:37
  He said, Father, if it is possible, can you take this cup
• 53:44
  off me? But he remembered that in as
• 53:48
  much as he was the Son of God, God will give up anything and
• 53:52
  anyone to preserve his will. So he quickly said nevertheless.
• 53:57
  Even if it means. Forgetting about my prayer and
• 53:59
  not answering it. Not my will, but your.
• 54:30
  Angels are not shown mercy. That's why Jesus did not die for
• 54:34
  them. You see, there are spirits.
• 54:38
  I hope you know that Satan is not the only fallen spirit.
• 54:42
  And Satan in truth is not even the worst of the spirits.
• 54:48
  There are spirits today that have been bound in everlasting
• 54:51
  chain. Is that in your Bible?
• 54:53
  Satan is not even. One of them and the Bible says
• 54:55
  those spirits have been bound for the sake of the elect.
• 55:02
  I hope you know it was God that designed the lake of fire.
• 55:09
  Hello. The Lake of Fire is part of
• 55:14
  God's Kingdom. Who designed it?
• 55:20
  That's where Satan will be thrown into.
• 55:22
  So who would have designed it? The Lake of Fire is different
• 55:27
  from Halo. When you read the book of
• 55:30
  Revelations, hell itself and death will be relocated into the
• 55:33
  lake of fire. The Bible says that is the
• 55:35
  second death. So officially the judgement of
• 55:39
  sinners has not begun. It will start officially when
• 55:42
  Satan joins them in that destruction.
• 55:47
  Are we Bible students? The lake of fire is part of
• 55:52
  God's Kingdom. It is a representation of His
• 55:55
  justice. It is a representation of His
• 55:58
  Holiness. It remains so through eternity.
• 56:03
  Satan himself will be taken to the lake of fire, Death as his
• 56:08
  spirit, the 4th man upon the rider, upon the horse that
• 56:11
  revelation gives. Are we together?
• 56:13
  The one riding upon the pale horse whose name is Death, will
• 56:16
  also be relocated to the Lake of fire.
• 56:19
  Is it not in your Bible? Yes.
• 56:22
  And all this will be born. Satan has not started his
• 56:24
  judgment. The Bible says he knows that his
• 56:27
  time is short so there is a time allotted for him.
• 56:31
  It is the reason why you cannot bind all the demon spirits and
• 56:35
  and Satan and keep them in one place and stop the emotion.
• 56:38
  You cannot. You can.
• 56:39
  Only dispel them within your environment as they interrupt
• 56:43
  the purposes of God. There is nobody who has the
• 56:46
  ability to gather all the demons and all the spirits.
• 56:49
  Not even Jesus did it. When he was going to cast out
• 56:55
  demons, he did not bind them to keep them to say you will never
• 56:59
  move. They are given the liberty of
• 57:01
  mobility. You can only sanitize your
• 57:03
  environment. Sanitize your life and your
• 57:06
  atmosphere with respect. To birth in the purposes of God,
• 57:09
  by the time is going to come where there will be a Clarion
• 57:12
  called, they will be gathered by themselves.
• 57:15
  That was what was adopted in the parable of the wheat and the
• 57:18
  tears. Is it not in your Bible?
• 57:21
  Are we Bible students? Remember the wheat and the
• 57:24
  tears? The Bible says wild men slept.
• 57:26
  An enemy came, am I right? And he saw tears among the
• 57:31
  wheat. And when they came and saw it,
• 57:33
  they found out that something was wrong.
• 57:35
  And then the farmer said, OK, let us.
• 57:38
  He said no, no, no, no, don't do that like that.
• 57:40
  In doing that you will not know which one is the wheat and tear.
• 57:44
  He said let them grow. When they grow, there is
• 57:46
  something only the wheat can carry that the tears will not
• 57:49
  carry. And when it is the time of the
• 57:51
  harvest, you will now. You gather the wheat and then
• 57:55
  you will put the tears together and burn them in everlasting
• 57:58
  fire. That's what Jesus taught us.
• 58:05
  So you see that there are many things we do as believers that
• 58:08
  is not from a standpoint of spiritual intelligence.
• 58:11
  You cannot bind the spirits that are around Enugu or the East and
• 58:14
  put them in one place and say in the name of Jesus Christ from.
• 58:19
  Today, you don't have access to mobility, no.
• 58:24
  Every spirit Jesus casted out is still in the earth.
• 58:30
  The spirits that oppress men today, the bodies that they are
• 58:34
  oppressing is not the first they have.
• 58:36
  They are used to occupy many, many bodies.
• 58:40
  That is why you see Satan has an advantage of experience.
• 58:44
  You cannot use experience against him.
• 58:46
  You only use the forces of victory that have been given
• 58:49
  through Christ. In terms of experience.
• 58:54
  They have longevity of stay. They have entered and possessed
• 58:58
  and oppressed and manipulated too many human bodies.
• 59:01
  You are not the first preacher and you are not the.
• 59:04
  First church to receive an onslaught from Satan.
• 59:07
  Using experience may be a very weak tool to bring in victory to
• 59:12
  yourself. Now thanks be to God, the Bible
• 59:14
  says, which causes us all ways to triumph.
• 59:20
  Hallelujah. Are we still together?
• 59:22
  We're discussing that which makes a man usable, not just
• 59:28
  available. And #1 we said the.
• 59:31
  State of your heart. Ladies and gentlemen, let me
• 59:35
  tell you in your journey in ministry and in your journey in
• 59:38
  life and destiny, you will confront many things that we
• 59:42
  want to challenge the position of God in your life.
• 59:45
  For instance, fame, for instance, persecution.
• 59:49
  In fact, it says what shall separate us from the love of
• 59:52
  God. Then it begins to list it.
• 59:54
  There is a concise. List I hope you know that both
• 59:59
  good and bad things can disrupt God's position in your life.
• 1:00:03
  For instance, there are people today who keep saying, Lord, I
• 1:00:06
  love you with all my heart. Until the day somebody gives you
• 1:00:10
  100 million cash or 1 billion, the appetite for prayer dies as
• 1:00:15
  you are receiving that money immediately because you find out
• 1:00:18
  that many of your prayer requests was.
• 1:00:20
  Driven by your need for bread and tea and now the passion to
• 1:00:25
  pray and to fast is no longer there.
• 1:00:27
  How about when God announces you as a man of God and everybody
• 1:00:30
  already knows you as a man of God?
• 1:00:32
  What is the need to study again? What is the need to pray again?
• 1:00:36
  What is the need to fast again? After all, the nations know you.
• 1:00:40
  You see that there are. Many.
• 1:00:43
  People who leave God in the face of plenty.
• 1:00:45
  There are many people who leave God in the face of glitz and
• 1:00:48
  glamour. They leave God in the face of
• 1:00:51
  when they evolve to versions of the of themselves that the
• 1:00:54
  nation celebrates. You see, many of them will leave
• 1:00:57
  the things of God. So before you begin the journey
• 1:01:00
  with God, He probes you. And says, let me walk on you,
• 1:01:04
  and furnish you to become a vessel unto honor.
• 1:01:09
  There is a level in life when you grow in terms of increased
• 1:01:13
  financial increase or in influence.
• 1:01:16
  There are certain groups upon the earth that watch the growth
• 1:01:19
  of men like a meter. When you hit a certain
• 1:01:23
  threshold, they will come and meet you.
• 1:01:25
  They will. Sell you ideas and say join us,
• 1:01:28
  become part of us and there are privileges you will enjoy.
• 1:01:32
  If you have not met them, they are coming.
• 1:01:34
  Just keep rising. I assure you, by the God of
• 1:01:39
  heaven, you know what I'm talking about.
• 1:01:41
  And you know, I'm not lying In every state, in every city, in
• 1:01:47
  every region and in every nation that there are groups of people
• 1:01:52
  mandated by the devil, whether they know they are.
• 1:01:54
  Used by him or not, you keep rising.
• 1:01:58
  Let your company keep rising. Let your ministry keep rising.
• 1:02:02
  One day there will be a knock on your door, spiritually or
• 1:02:05
  physically. You will be called into a
• 1:02:07
  conversation and they'll say we are proposing to you this.
• 1:02:11
  Now you will understand what the Bible means when he says what
• 1:02:13
  shall he profit a man when he gains?
• 1:02:17
  Show me the market where you do that kind of business that you
• 1:02:22
  gain the whole world and lose your.
• 1:02:23
  Soul. If I want to sell my soul now,
• 1:02:26
  call the name of the shop for me that I will go What shop in
• 1:02:30
  Enugu receives souls and gives them the world in exchange?
• 1:02:35
  Yet the Bible says there is a mysterious marketplace on earth.
• 1:02:39
  Where what you sell is not spare part, where what you sell are we
• 1:02:44
  together is not close. The commodity is your very soul
• 1:02:48
  and there are men that market is a busy market till tomorrow.
• 1:02:52
  Satan proposing to Jesus, he said come the third temptation,
• 1:02:58
  the first temptation of Jesus is the first temptation that every
• 1:03:04
  man. Will go through.
• 1:03:05
  The temptation of need. Bread your food.
• 1:03:09
  Turn this stone to bread. Manipulate ministry to satisfy
• 1:03:13
  your hunger. Manipulate the people that it is
• 1:03:16
  within your power to turn stones to bread.
• 1:03:20
  And by the time hunger is there, he will not come when you are.
• 1:03:23
  Fool, he will come when there is crisis in the ministry.
• 1:03:26
  He will come when you need to send your children to school and
• 1:03:29
  says remember you're a prophet. Can't you just call some numbers
• 1:03:33
  and somebody will come and give you money?
• 1:03:35
  Can't you quote? Can't you prophecy the account
• 1:03:38
  number of the person and receive 10 million wise struggle and
• 1:03:42
  have to go through the cross when you can just bow to me and
• 1:03:44
  have the world now? Can I tell you?
• 1:03:48
  We're examining the heart condition of man.
• 1:03:50
  I hope I'm not wasting your time.
• 1:03:52
  You must survive that number one temptation.
• 1:03:56
  There are men who have fallen like a pack of cards because
• 1:03:59
  they could not survive it. If you are not hungry, your
• 1:04:04
  temptation will not be about food to eat.
• 1:04:06
  Satan is not stupid. He will come to you.
• 1:04:09
  Do you know a spirit called seducing spirits in the Bible?
• 1:04:18
  The Bible says the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the
• 1:04:20
  latter times some shall depart from the faith and shall give
• 1:04:25
  heed to seducing Spirit and the doctrine of demons is that in
• 1:04:30
  your Bible you know how seduction works.
• 1:04:34
  Seduction has no power over you until it unites with a need.
• 1:04:39
  There has to be a desire in your heart for seduction to work.
• 1:04:43
  Am I right on that? And if you are looking for a
• 1:04:46
  political position, chances are excellent that the weapon, the
• 1:04:51
  devil, the seducing spirits, will operate in your life with
• 1:04:54
  respect to that desperate. Need.
• 1:04:57
  So for Jesus because he was hungry, haven't fasted 40 days
• 1:05:02
  and 40 nights the spirits came, the devil came himself and said
• 1:05:08
  you are hungry. Jesus don't tell lies, I know
• 1:05:11
  you are hungry. Remember you are the way, the
• 1:05:13
  truth and the life. You are hungry.
• 1:05:15
  Turn this stone to bread. Turn this stone to bread, abuse
• 1:05:26
  the use of it, manipulate that power to grant your selfish and
• 1:05:33
  mundane desires. And Jesus said, it is written,
• 1:05:37
  man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that
• 1:05:42
  proceeded from the mouth of God. Second temptation that everybody
• 1:05:47
  must survive is the temptation of maintaining your spirituality
• 1:05:52
  in the face of greatness. The Bible says he took him to a
• 1:05:55
  holy. The top of a holy mountain of
• 1:05:58
  the temple and told him, fall down there.
• 1:06:01
  That is the temptation of great men.
• 1:06:03
  The moment you become great and you are spiritually vibrant, the
• 1:06:07
  next temptation is be careless with your spiritual life.
• 1:06:11
  Fall down. After all, it is written, he
• 1:06:14
  will put his angels charge over you and abuse of grace and
• 1:06:17
  mercy. They will barely up on their
• 1:06:20
  wings, lest you dash your feet against a stone.
• 1:06:25
  Don't pray, you are still anointed.
• 1:06:28
  Go for the conference without preparing, even while on stage.
• 1:06:32
  You are full of revelation. Something must come for you to
• 1:06:35
  preach. Is it not just to preach and
• 1:06:37
  collect your money on a radio man and go back?
• 1:06:40
  That is the temptation of great men.
• 1:06:42
  So the moment you become great, know that your spiritual life is
• 1:06:46
  the first point of attack, not your church, yours.
• 1:06:49
  Life. He took him to a holy city and
• 1:06:53
  said fall down. Throw yourself down after all.
• 1:06:57
  He will put his angels charge. Will the angels watch you go
• 1:07:01
  down and not protect you? Is it not written that he shall
• 1:07:04
  put his angels charge over you? They shall bear thee upon their
• 1:07:07
  wings. Lest you dash your foot against
• 1:07:09
  the stone temptation #3 That all men must survive.
• 1:07:14
  The Bible says that Satan, this one, eh?
• 1:07:18
  Satan took him to an exceeding high mountain.
• 1:07:25
  Mountains in Scripture talks about spheres of influence.
• 1:07:29
  He took him there and the Bible says he showed him all the
• 1:07:33
  glories of the world in a moment.
• 1:07:36
  The kingdoms of the world, Matthew 4 says, and the glory of
• 1:07:40
  them. Question, Show me where that
• 1:07:43
  mountain is today that you stand upon.
• 1:07:45
  And you can see the glories of all the world and the kingdoms.
• 1:07:49
  And here's what he proposed to him.
• 1:07:51
  Verse 9. All these things I will give
• 1:07:55
  thee, if thou will. Fall down and worship me SE.
• 1:08:02
  Herein lies the revelation of what Satan really wants.
• 1:08:06
  He's not interested in your church.
• 1:08:08
  He's not interested in your money.
• 1:08:11
  He's not even interested in the. Child, he's not interested in
• 1:08:14
  your name or your fame. It looks like he's attacking all
• 1:08:18
  those things and you may be saying, why is Satan interested
• 1:08:21
  in my marriage? Why is he interested in my
• 1:08:23
  children? Make no mistakes, he's not
• 1:08:25
  interested in them. This is what he's interested in.
• 1:08:27
  Please give us that scripture that you will fall.
• 1:08:30
  Down and worship me. Everywhere you see the
• 1:08:34
  Antichrist system, there must be expressions of worship.
• 1:08:40
  Remember Nebuchadnezzar, 90 feet, statue of solid gold.
• 1:08:44
  And it says after you hear the sound of worship, everybody bow
• 1:08:48
  down. That is why the greatest
• 1:08:55
  expression of your loyalty for God is not just in your service,
• 1:09:00
  it's in your worship, your worship, your worship.
• 1:09:08
  Oh, believe Ted, above all, Lord the gods, we lay our crown and
• 1:09:21
  worship you. You believe, Ted, above all Lord
• 1:09:31
  the gods, we lay our crown and worship you all.
• 1:09:43
  Glorious God, we praise your name.
• 1:09:51
  We lay our crimes. And worship.
• 1:09:59
  Many of you have no idea what happens in the Kingdom of
• 1:10:03
  Darkness when the Saints worship.
• 1:10:06
  A picture of the worship in heaven was given to us in
• 1:10:10
  revelations that when they said worthy is the lamb that was
• 1:10:13
  slain the Bible says the. Elders will cast their crown and
• 1:10:19
  everybody bows before 1 king. This is all Satan wants.
• 1:10:27
  Transgenerational allegiance. That is the reason why causes
• 1:10:31
  have been. Programmed.
• 1:10:32
  Across every family to make sure that there will always be a
• 1:10:36
  representation, somebody who will represent worship and
• 1:10:41
  loyalty and allegiance to Satan, even to Jesus.
• 1:10:45
  He said bow and worship me. It's not that I want to hold
• 1:10:49
  man. I don't need man for anything.
• 1:10:51
  I don't need his prosperity for anything.
• 1:10:55
  Ask people who are involved in cultism or involved in
• 1:10:59
  witchcraft or all kinds of things.
• 1:11:01
  The only thing Satan wants is anything that commits you and
• 1:11:06
  brings you to a point where he becomes God over your life.
• 1:11:09
  He can give you all the prosperity.
• 1:11:11
  He can give you whatever it. Is.
• 1:11:14
  That is the reason why the moment you want to prosper
• 1:11:19
  without your loyalty to him, he will fight you tooth and nail.
• 1:11:23
  You want to make money without me?
• 1:11:26
  He says I wish above all things that he prosper and be in hell.
• 1:11:31
  But make sure your soul prospers.
• 1:11:36
  It is that soul part that Satan does not want.
• 1:11:40
  Can I tell you I made-up my mind?
• 1:11:42
  I rather fail in ministry than worship the devil.
• 1:11:47
  I rather fail. You don't worship Satan by
• 1:11:50
  worshiping Satan. You worship Satan by worshiping
• 1:11:53
  anything. That is not God.
• 1:11:55
  Satan is too smart to tell you worship me.
• 1:11:58
  He will say, worship money, worship yourself, worship your
• 1:12:02
  wife, worship your husband, worship your church, worship
• 1:12:05
  your sermons. And you do not know it's still
• 1:12:08
  idolatry. Worship your prayer life,
• 1:12:11
  worship your fasting life, even worship your Bible study.
• 1:12:15
  And while you are doing all of that, you think I'm worshiping
• 1:12:18
  God? No, anything that is not God,
• 1:12:21
  even if it came from God, is an idol.
• 1:12:26
  So that you don't think I'm talking of going to the shrine
• 1:12:29
  to go and bow down. Satan is not stupid, he has
• 1:12:32
  understood the world of man. So he will tell you worship any
• 1:12:36
  other thing, including yourself, including your wife, including
• 1:12:41
  your husband, including ministry, including money,
• 1:12:46
  including your certificate. By any means I allow you to
• 1:12:51
  worship any other thing, provided it is not the God of
• 1:12:54
  heaven. And can I tell you, day and
• 1:12:57
  night there are people bowing down to Satan, but as they bow
• 1:13:02
  down to their certificates, they bow down to Satan as they bow
• 1:13:06
  down to their ministry. Every Sunday there are many idol
• 1:13:10
  worshippers who do not know their idol worshippers.
• 1:13:12
  They would rather give up Jesus than give up church.
• 1:13:15
  They would rather give up anything.
• 1:13:18
  Listen, ladies and gentlemen, can I tell you?
• 1:13:22
  If you ever believe, you ever believe that on your own,
• 1:13:29
  without the pruning of the Spirit, you are worshipping God
• 1:13:32
  in spirit and the truth that state itself.
• 1:13:36
  Is proof that you are under attack.
• 1:13:44
  I remember one time when God began to walk upon my heart.
• 1:13:49
  I would pray and say Lord use me and it says to take away these
• 1:13:53
  idols from your heart and I'm saying idols me we're again I've
• 1:13:57
  never bowed down to anything that is not God.
• 1:14:00
  I came from a lineage of missionaries, whereas where is
• 1:14:03
  an idol coming from then? Many of us are very quick to
• 1:14:08
  select what we think we're free from.
• 1:14:10
  I'm free from pride, I'm free from lost.
• 1:14:13
  I'm free from all of these things.
• 1:14:14
  God, I'm free enough. And he says that deception is
• 1:14:18
  bondage itself. Are we together?
• 1:14:24
  I hope you are not feeling insulted.
• 1:14:28
  This is a deliverance service. So it's a.
• 1:14:29
  Proper. Deliverance service, are we
• 1:14:33
  together? All glorious God, we praise your
• 1:14:43
  name, we lay our crown and worship you.
• 1:14:54
  My glorious God, I praise your name.
• 1:15:02
  I lay my crown and worship you. You believed Ted above all other
• 1:15:16
  gods. I lay my crown and worship you.
• 1:15:29
  You believed, Ted. Above all other gods, I lay my
• 1:15:39
  crown. Hear me, I'm going to give us
• 1:15:51
  the next 5 minutes. There are idols in our lives.
• 1:15:55
  Listen, listen, listen, listen. Before you start praying, I want
• 1:16:00
  you to be sincere with the God of heaven.
• 1:16:04
  When I was preparing this in the morning, just cross checking my
• 1:16:06
  notes, I found myself praying. I said, Lord, let me not come
• 1:16:10
  here and pretend before your people.
• 1:16:13
  So I myself reveal what are the idols.
• 1:16:17
  I'm not talking of witchcraft. I know you will never go to a
• 1:16:20
  shrine, but let me show you another shrine that is called a
• 1:16:24
  piece of paper lying down in your wardrobe.
• 1:16:27
  You would rather give up God 1000 times than your PhD?
• 1:16:32
  I'm not insulting it. How about your church?
• 1:16:35
  There are many of you. If God says close your church
• 1:16:37
  now, you will cost him to his face.
• 1:16:40
  Ah, my means of bread, my means of relevance.
• 1:16:43
  I won't lose it. There are many of us.
• 1:16:47
  Your idol is your anointing. There are many of us.
• 1:16:51
  Your idol is your prey and your fasting.
• 1:16:54
  You think because it's a spiritual activity on its own,
• 1:16:58
  it cannot be idolized. Satan is a master at using any
• 1:17:02
  other thing aside from God. An idol is anything you derive
• 1:17:12
  your confidence from. An idol is anything that
• 1:17:16
  qualifies to earn your loyalty, including your fasting,
• 1:17:20
  including your prayer, including the abundance of revelation that
• 1:17:25
  you have, including your intellect.
• 1:17:27
  My Bible. Says.
• 1:17:29
  Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not onto your own
• 1:17:34
  understanding. He says in all your ways
• 1:17:36
  acknowledge Him and He shall direct your heart.
• 1:17:40
  The next verse says verse 7, be not wise in your own
• 1:17:44
  understanding. He says fear the Lord and turn
• 1:17:47
  away from evil. Listen to me, there are certain
• 1:17:57
  obvious idols. Like idolatry, lost pride, These
• 1:18:03
  are very obvious ones. So when you find out that you
• 1:18:07
  are free from them, you can flatter yourself to believe you
• 1:18:11
  are free. I'm free from lost, I'm free
• 1:18:13
  from pride. I'm free from witchcraft.
• 1:18:16
  I'm not a false prophet, I'm not a fake person.
• 1:18:19
  I love Jesus. And yet the Master is still
• 1:18:21
  saying I cannot use you. There is.
• 1:18:23
  Something about your heart, hoga.
• 1:18:28
  You are my God and I will ever praise you.
• 1:18:38
  Oh God, you are my God and I will ever praise you.
• 1:18:48
  I will seek you in the morning. I have learnt to walk in your
• 1:18:57
  ways for step by step you lead me and I will.
• 1:19:05
  Follow you all of my days. I'd like you to cry before the
• 1:19:10
  Lord in one minute before we continue.
• 1:19:13
  Father, help my heart. Everything that has become an
• 1:19:17
  idol in my life, regardless what it is, Lord, I pray.
• 1:19:22
  That in this conference, let it be dethroned.
• 1:19:26
  Let it be dethroned. Let it be deterred.
• 1:19:30
  Let it be deterred. Let it be deterred.
• 1:19:35
  Let it be deterred. Let it be deterred.
• 1:19:39
  Let it be deterred. Everything I have, everything I
• 1:20:06
  am pastor. Pray, forget about ministry now.
• 1:20:20
  Prayer warrior, interstessor, great man, great woman of God.
• 1:20:30
  Campus Fellowship president play a group coordinator.
• 1:20:38
  Let's cry before the King. We bow down and worship Yahweh.
• 1:20:59
  We give out doubt and worship Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh.
• 1:21:25
  Yahweh. Yahweh, Yahweh, I cast my crown
• 1:21:39
  before the highest royalty. I am undone before.
• 1:21:51
  Your. Glorious Majesty, I cast my
• 1:21:58
  crown before the highest royalty.
• 1:22:07
  I am my done before your Glorious Majesty.
• 1:22:15
  You're the King of kings and bones.
• 1:22:21
  You are the King of kings. Go ahead
• 1:22:50
  and pray. You are brooding.
• 1:23:03
  Over every darkness you are causing light to shine.
• 1:23:11
  From darkness you are brooding over every darkness you are
• 1:23:23
  causing lights to shine. From Dark, Holy Ghost is rooting
• 1:23:33
  over every. Darkness.
• 1:23:39
  You are causing lights to shine from dark.
• 1:23:46
  Hallelujah, pray in one minute Lord, let my life reflect Jesus,
• 1:23:52
  not self. I dethrone every idol, idols of
• 1:23:58
  competition, idols of pride, everything that has exalted
• 1:24:06
  itself above you. Let it go down right now.
• 1:24:17
  I desire increase, but not at the expense of your position.
• 1:24:23
  I desire lifting, but not at the expense of your position.
• 1:24:28
  I desire just growth, but not at the expense of your position.
• 1:24:52
  For in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
• 1:24:58
  In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
• 1:25:04
  Can I tell you I want to challenge you?
• 1:25:09
  Practice periodic retreats. As a man of God, you want to
• 1:25:15
  survive these days no matter how famous you are.
• 1:25:21
  I want you to practice periodic retreats.
• 1:25:23
  There are times you must obtain grace to shut down any
• 1:25:26
  ministration. It doesn't matter what it is.
• 1:25:29
  The reason why men are looking for you is because you are
• 1:25:32
  looking for him. When you stop looking for him,
• 1:25:34
  men will no longer need you. I assure you on that.
• 1:25:37
  And can I tell you, human beings are very unforgiving.
• 1:25:42
  The day you cannot present to them what they are looking for
• 1:25:45
  you for, they will forget you as if they never, never came to
• 1:25:48
  you. So don't allow membership.
• 1:25:52
  Let's not allow membership. Deceive us.
• 1:25:54
  Conferences. I have all kinds of people who
• 1:25:57
  like me. Believe me there is light they
• 1:26:00
  are seeing from you. That is the reason why they are
• 1:26:02
  placing a demand. The day they don't see it.
• 1:26:04
  The same people who said let's make him king over us, who say
• 1:26:08
  crucify him. The same people who looked at
• 1:26:13
  Jesus and said crucify him. Were the same people who ate his
• 1:26:16
  bread? Most of us here are ministers of
• 1:26:19
  the gospel, and you know that the greatest pain you have had
• 1:26:23
  came from the people you raised. So do not.
• 1:26:28
  The Bible already tells you that the heart of man is desperately
• 1:26:32
  wicked. If you love members more than
• 1:26:35
  God, you'll be in trouble. If you love conferences more
• 1:26:39
  than God, you'll be in trouble. You'll leave God to protect
• 1:26:42
  members. They will leave you to find who
• 1:26:44
  is looking for God. Let every member come and meet
• 1:26:50
  you loving God. They will respect you.
• 1:26:53
  They didn't find you waiting for them.
• 1:26:55
  They found you serving God. Whether they go or come, your
• 1:26:58
  worship was there before they arrived.
• 1:27:02
  Because sometimes we need to be careful in a bit to one
• 1:27:05
  membership. Our desperation is becoming
• 1:27:08
  pungent and and when people know, it's as if you cannot do
• 1:27:12
  without them. Please, now, as I see we're not
• 1:27:15
  doing any other thing with our lives.
• 1:27:19
  And the moment somebody knows that I matter this much to you,
• 1:27:23
  they can wake you up at any time and say come to my house and
• 1:27:25
  come and pray for me. And if you don't come, I'm not
• 1:27:28
  coming to your church on Sunday. No, Let me tell you what it
• 1:27:35
  means to be surrendered. You get the glory, you get the
• 1:27:41
  praise, You'll take the honor. I just want to say thank you,
• 1:27:49
  Lord. You get the glory, you get the
• 1:27:54
  praise, You take the honor. I just want to say thank you.
• 1:28:04
  So will my church be glorified, be glorified in my life, be
• 1:28:22
  glorified, be glorified if all I have is Jesus?
• 1:28:32
  I've got something more than gold and I will tell it to my
• 1:28:37
  world. Jesus is more than gold.
• 1:28:42
  If all I have is Jesus, I've got something more than gold.
• 1:28:49
  I will tell it to the world. Jesus is more than gold.
• 1:28:59
  Yes, Sir. For me this is not a special
• 1:29:02
  number. Believe me, I will shut down
• 1:29:05
  ministry 1000 times. To maintain his presence, the
• 1:29:11
  one who saw me in the wilderness when no one knew me.
• 1:29:14
  It will be stupid to throw him today.
• 1:29:16
  David, do not forget the one who empowered you to kill the bear
• 1:29:21
  when you were alone in the wilderness.
• 1:29:24
  Let the clamor of the palace not make you forget him.
• 1:29:40
  Hallelujah, just give me a minute or two.
• 1:29:45
  There is a circumcision that God is doing just before we move to
• 1:29:49
  the next one. Listen and a good state when.
• 1:29:56
  God finds vessels that are genuinely pure in.
• 1:29:59
  Heart, you see. When you love the Lord with all
• 1:30:04
  your heart, you will never manipulate His people.
• 1:30:07
  Not for money. Many things we are trying to
• 1:30:10
  address are symptoms. The real problem is that
• 1:30:14
  something is wrong with the heart.
• 1:30:17
  Competition, the heart lost the heart.
• 1:30:22
  Pride the heart. Witchcraft the heart.
• 1:30:26
  Are we together merchandising the gospel, the heart?
• 1:30:31
  So in trying you don't try to throw it, to cut a tree by
• 1:30:36
  removing the leaf one by one. That is a burdensome walk.
• 1:30:39
  You uproot it. And with all the leaves on it,
• 1:30:43
  they would dry because it has no root.
• 1:30:45
  Again, when you love the Lord with all your heart, you will
• 1:30:52
  not take advantage of the prophetic that you have and
• 1:30:56
  manipulate. Anybody you will charge people
• 1:30:58
  to keep with understanding when you love the Lord with all your
• 1:31:03
  heart. You will not go and put a charm
• 1:31:06
  under your tight or put it somewhere and be saying praise
• 1:31:09
  the Lord, whereas it is by the. Power of a familiar spirit.
• 1:31:13
  It is a hard condition, ladies and gentlemen, There is a
• 1:31:19
  generation that is at the edge of error and destruction if this
• 1:31:25
  hard thing is not corrected, because for many people,
• 1:31:28
  especially younger ministers who are coming up.
• 1:31:31
  We have defined the correctness in ministry by the glamour and
• 1:31:35
  present. Once members are coming,
• 1:31:37
  branches are expanding. You are preaching well, who can
• 1:31:41
  say you are wrong? We need to be.
• 1:31:42
  Careful, because there are people today who do not hear
• 1:31:46
  about the heart condition. Once I can prophecy, I can
• 1:31:50
  preach. I am charismatic, That is fine,
• 1:31:55
  but that was not the way that the Fathers taught us.
• 1:32:02
  Are we together? There are some of you here who
• 1:32:06
  are campus leaders. I presume there are some of you
• 1:32:09
  here who are leaders of prayer groups.
• 1:32:12
  We need to trust God to tame pride.
• 1:32:16
  Tame pride among the many things we must trust God to walk on.
• 1:32:22
  Is. Pride.
• 1:32:25
  It is one of the Kansas of ministers of the Gospel.
• 1:32:29
  Pride are we together? Fight it like you fight the
• 1:32:35
  devil. Run away from pride because
• 1:32:40
  pride is one of the sins in the Bible that God directly fights
• 1:32:45
  you. When God is fighting you, who do
• 1:32:49
  you pray to? When God is fighting you, who do
• 1:32:53
  you fast to? What anointing will you use to
• 1:32:56
  bring him down? Hallelujah.
• 1:33:02
  So the purity of heart, this is how God dealt with me.
• 1:33:07
  This is how He continues to deal with me till today.
• 1:33:10
  When I go before the Lord, He does not just go and tell me a
• 1:33:13
  lot of wonderful things. Son, the greater you're pruning,
• 1:33:18
  the greater the consecration, the greater the sacrifice.
• 1:33:22
  The greater the surrender, the greater the.
• 1:33:25
  Glory period. I surrender all to you.
• 1:33:36
  Everything I give to you, I'm withholding nothing.
• 1:33:47
  Withholding nothing. I give myself away.
• 1:33:52
  Unfinishing. We used to sing a very old song.
• 1:34:01
  Creating me a clean heart, oh Lord.
• 1:34:07
  Do you know that song and. Renew a right spirit.
• 1:34:12
  Creating. Me a clean heart, oh Lord, and
• 1:34:26
  renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Your
• 1:34:37
  presence, O Lord, take not Your Holy Spirit from me.
• 1:34:47
  I like this one. Restore to me the joy of my
• 1:34:53
  salvation and renew a right spirit.
• 1:35:04
  Hallelujah. Some of you may need to go back
• 1:35:10
  and declare, even if it's 1-2 days of spiritual emphasis in
• 1:35:16
  your church, to say we need to get back and put some things
• 1:35:19
  right. Thank God for the building
• 1:35:21
  project, but let's suspend it for three days and get some
• 1:35:25
  things right and pray and cry and say, Lord, I'm sorry.
• 1:35:30
  I got into the pressure of ministry and now my passion is
• 1:35:34
  just to invite ministers, not just to find out what you want.
• 1:35:39
  I'm in a place right now where my passion is.
• 1:35:42
  Who is doing what? Me too.
• 1:35:44
  Let me do it. Lord, help me.
• 1:35:48
  This is not a call to condemnation because I can tell
• 1:35:51
  you the revival that is sweeping across the nations and across
• 1:35:55
  every territory. Unfortunately, we will not have
• 1:35:58
  everyone as a battle AXA to be used, those who will be used by
• 1:36:03
  God. There are people today we do not
• 1:36:06
  know, but there is a making and there is a formation.
• 1:36:10
  And when God is done with them, let me tell you, they will rise.
• 1:36:13
  You will say they came from nowhere, but they've always been
• 1:36:16
  there, being walked upon by the Spirit being dealt.
• 1:36:20
  With by the Spirit, too many people have disappointed God.
• 1:36:26
  Let's not add to the list. Did you hear what I said?
• 1:36:29
  Too many people have disappointed God.
• 1:36:32
  Let's obtain grace to not add to the least.
• 1:36:37
  Please sit down. Let me give you #2 I'm not sure
• 1:36:41
  we'll be able to do the whole 3, but let's just do one more and
• 1:36:45
  then we'll close for this morning.
• 1:37:11
  But you cannot fake a relationship.
• 1:37:22
  God is handing to us a big secret today.
• 1:37:26
  This is what makes your fasting powerful.
• 1:37:29
  This is what makes your prayer powerful.
• 1:37:32
  This is what makes your watch. Study powerful.
• 1:37:36
  This is what makes your ministrations powerful.
• 1:37:39
  My worship people, this is what makes your singing powerful.
• 1:37:43
  No matter what you come and sing on stage.
• 1:37:45
  The difference between a special number and a life giving
• 1:37:49
  ministration is not the mic, it's not the keyboard.
• 1:37:54
  It's not your voice. It's not the.
• 1:37:56
  Song, It's your heart. It's your heart.
• 1:38:08
  It's your heart. Don't think you are just
• 1:38:13
  shouting and crying for nothing. Allow God do what He's doing in
• 1:38:17
  your heart. There is glory that is coming
• 1:38:19
  out of that, that circumcision in the Spirit.
• 1:38:23
  Some of you, by reason of what the Holy Ghost is doing now,
• 1:38:25
  there are resolutions that are coming up.
• 1:38:28
  No, I need to change this. This has to die once and for
• 1:38:31
  all. This has to end once and for
• 1:38:34
  all. This has to end.
• 1:38:36
  I have to start doing ministry correctly.
• 1:38:39
  This thing I'm doing, this games I'm playing, it has to end once
• 1:38:43
  and for. All this pride has to die once
• 1:38:47
  and for all. This lost has to die once and
• 1:38:50
  for all. Hallelujah.
• 1:39:09
  Listen, do you know when God started working with me?
• 1:39:18
  I just knew that a season came in my life where I started to
• 1:39:22
  see tremendous dimensions of spiritual.
• 1:39:25
  Power. I didn't even pay attention to
• 1:39:28
  it. I just knew that my life shifted
• 1:39:31
  in the Spirit. One day I had to go back and
• 1:39:34
  start investigating my work with God.
• 1:39:38
  What? What was really responsible?
• 1:39:41
  Was it the fasting? Was it the prayer?
• 1:39:45
  Was it the word study? By the grace of God, I've always
• 1:39:48
  been a practitioner of these things, but at what point did my
• 1:39:52
  life change one? Time by the Spirit I found it in
• 1:39:57
  the year that King Uzziah died, I.
• 1:40:00
  Saw the Lord. In the year my.
• 1:40:03
  Bride died. I saw the Lord.
• 1:40:06
  In the year lost tide I saw the Lord.
• 1:40:10
  The death of flesh is when life begins.
• 1:40:15
  The death of self is when life begins.
• 1:40:30
  You want the presence and the glory of God upon your life and
• 1:40:34
  upon His people. No, this one is not just.
• 1:40:38
  Receive it. This one is a product.
• 1:40:41
  There is a level of consecration in your heart.
• 1:40:45
  The Holy Spirit is not a politician.
• 1:40:47
  You will not bribe him and say, Come and back me up.
• 1:40:56
  In the year King Uzziah died, I, Isaiah, saw the Lord.
• 1:41:03
  In the year my idolatry for ministry died, I saw the Lord.
• 1:41:09
  In the year the passion for competition died, I saw the
• 1:41:13
  Lord. Hallelujah, that woman, this
• 1:41:22
  one, putting your hand on your face, this one you stand.
• 1:41:27
  I just saw light coming on you and the Lord is saying I should
• 1:41:31
  tell you that you are a mighty vessel in His hand, that He's
• 1:41:35
  going to use you very mightily in the name of Jesus.
• 1:41:39
  Let the grace that is needed for your life, needed for this next
• 1:41:43
  season of your life. May that grace by the Spirit of
• 1:41:47
  God come upon you, that you will not be an ordinary person from
• 1:41:50
  today. You will drink of this wine of
• 1:41:52
  the Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 1:41:56
  Who is chidozee? Chidoze.
• 1:42:00
  Is it chidozier? I'm hearing a name Chidozier.
• 1:42:13
  We are here for you, come and do what you do.
• 1:42:23
  We are here for you. Come and lift the way that you
• 1:42:31
  lived. Set our hearts on you so you do
• 1:42:40
  what you do. There is someone at the back
• 1:42:49
  just this rule right to the back.
• 1:42:52
  The Spirit of God is saying I've been looking for you that he
• 1:42:55
  wants to lead you to a prophetic experience.
• 1:42:59
  Harass savesh ka balakas kopania you at the back.
• 1:43:03
  Bring that person to the front. Two of them.
• 1:43:12
  Please bring them to the front. Chido say I want to pray for
• 1:43:17
  you. I'm seeing one person, my
• 1:43:24
  friend, look at me. Where are you coming from?
• 1:43:28
  I came from, I came from Ghana, missions in Ghana.
• 1:43:35
  I'm from Enigu States. You are from Enigu.
• 1:43:37
  Look at me. There is a mighty Apostolic call
• 1:43:41
  over your life. This young man.
• 1:43:43
  You see God is going to use you mightily.
• 1:43:46
  I pray that God will lead you through the.
• 1:43:48
  Trainings that will furnish you and make you a fine brand of a
• 1:43:53
  man of God in the name of Jesus. May that grace rest upon you.
• 1:44:02
  Hallelujah, shadows here. I want to pray for you.
• 1:44:07
  I'm praying for this person. But then I'm also seeing the
• 1:44:12
  Lord is opening my eyes. I hope I'm not wasting your
• 1:44:14
  time. I'm looking at the coffin and
• 1:44:18
  the coffin just opened and I'm seeing the names of family
• 1:44:22
  members from that coffin. This is what I'm seeing.
• 1:44:27
  Hallelujah. Now hear me.
• 1:44:29
  And the Lord is saying there is a family here.
• 1:44:31
  It's like the destiny of that entire family has been buried by
• 1:44:35
  the operation of witchcraft. As I'm praying right now, in the
• 1:44:39
  name of Jesus, the Son of the living God, it will be
• 1:44:42
  impossible for you to remain in that situation.
• 1:44:44
  I'm praying. I want you to bring those people
• 1:44:46
  out now as I'm speaking. The power of God is coming upon
• 1:44:49
  them, that every trace of witchcraft.
• 1:44:54
  Now the Lord is that spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
• 1:44:57
  there is liberty. Please bring them out.
• 1:44:59
  For me, in the name of. Jesus, everything buried parous
• 1:45:04
  kadishka Parikatya by witchcraft here at this conference.
• 1:45:09
  In the name of Jesus, the Son of the living God, let there be
• 1:45:13
  liberty. I bring you liberty.
• 1:45:16
  By the Spirit of the living God, I bring you liberty.
• 1:45:21
  By the Spirit of the living God, I bring you liberty.
• 1:45:25
  By the Spirit of the living God, Let the onslaught of darkness
• 1:45:29
  and oppression over your life, as God has revealed to me, let
• 1:45:34
  it come to an end now. Let it come to an end now.
• 1:45:50
  Let it come to an end now. Let it come to an end now.
• 1:45:58
  Hallelujah. The Lord is showing me another
• 1:46:02
  vision. I'm seeing a pack of papers and
• 1:46:06
  then I'm seeing a chain all around them.
• 1:46:08
  These are certificates belonging to the children in the family.
• 1:46:11
  Nobody educated, but nobody's rising, and the Lord is saying I
• 1:46:15
  should release that. Family, in the name of Jesus, I
• 1:46:18
  stretch my hands. I don't know where you are, but
• 1:46:22
  by the power that raised Christ from the bed, be released now,
• 1:46:26
  be released now, be released now.
• 1:46:30
  I release that family, that you make progress, that you go
• 1:46:34
  forward in the name of Jesus, the Christ of God.
• 1:46:58
  Hallelujah, there are two ladies.
• 1:47:03
  You are sisters now in this place.
• 1:47:06
  The power of God is coming upon you.
• 1:47:08
  I'm seeing that there is a spirit that makes that effect.
• 1:47:11
  All you ever get married, you must return back to your
• 1:47:14
  Father's house. I don't know what that is, but
• 1:47:17
  in the name of Jesus right now as I'm speaking.
• 1:47:28
  Let there be liberty. Let there be liberty.
• 1:47:38
  Hallelujah, Hallelujah. I want to minister to a man of
• 1:47:43
  God. The Lord is opening my eyes.
• 1:47:46
  I am seeing you entering inside your church and coming out.
• 1:47:51
  But in the Spirit, the door of the church is locked.
• 1:47:53
  It has never been opened. This is what I'm seeing.
• 1:47:57
  This is a very strange vision you are passing.
• 1:47:59
  Through a door. That is closed and yet you are
• 1:48:02
  going in and every other person who should enter, they are not
• 1:48:05
  able to enter because the door is locked.
• 1:48:09
  Father, I'm praying. I don't know who this man of God
• 1:48:12
  is, but whatever has closed the gate of your ministry that all
• 1:48:16
  those who should come and be part of this assignment are not.
• 1:48:20
  Able to come, I decree and declare, Let that door in the
• 1:48:24
  spirit. Let it be unlocked.
• 1:48:26
  Now let that door in the spirit be unlocked.
• 1:48:32
  Now let that door in the spirit. Be unlocked now.
• 1:48:43
  Hallelujah. Let me pray for you, Sir.
• 1:48:48
  Who does business here? The businessman.
• 1:48:51
  Really. A businessman?
• 1:48:52
  That's what you do. Come again?
• 1:49:01
  Are you a pastor? You are.
• 1:49:04
  You are both a pastor and a businessman.
• 1:49:06
  Am I right on that? In Elugu here, I want to pray
• 1:49:12
  for you. I'm seeing someone 10s of
• 1:49:20
  millions of naira. Your money is being held for
• 1:49:23
  more than one year and that thing has not been released till
• 1:49:26
  now. I don't know what led to it
• 1:49:29
  being held, but the Lord is saying as a sign immediately
• 1:49:34
  after this conference, you will marvel and wonder in the name of
• 1:49:39
  Jesus. I don't know who that person is,
• 1:49:41
  but I speak to you by the power that raised Christ from the
• 1:49:44
  dead. May that word come to pass
• 1:49:46
  speedily in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 1:49:53
  Why is he here? The gentleman, your money,
• 1:49:59
  that's all right. In the name of Jesus Christ, as
• 1:50:02
  God has declared, let it be so for you in Jesus name.
• 1:50:06
  And then all of you gentlemen, I decree and declare there is a
• 1:50:11
  lady, you are a lady. But I'm seeing that you are the
• 1:50:14
  man in your family. You are the one upholding
• 1:50:16
  everybody. There is nobody who has been
• 1:50:19
  able to rise in that family. And the Lord is saying he's
• 1:50:22
  bringing help for you. The pressure is too much on you.
• 1:50:25
  You are a lady, boy. You are doing the work of a man.
• 1:50:27
  You are the one building a house.
• 1:50:29
  You are the one taking care of your siblings.
• 1:50:31
  I don't know who that person is, but I stretch my hands.
• 1:50:34
  Let that grace come upon you now.
• 1:50:37
  Whatever has kept your siblings, now, in the name of Jesus, I
• 1:50:41
  release them right now. I release them right now.
• 1:50:47
  Do you believe in what you are hearing?
• 1:50:49
  In the name of Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus SAS, I pray
• 1:50:58
  for you, I stretch my hands and I pray the Lord was located you
• 1:51:03
  in the name that is above all names that you return back and
• 1:51:07
  let things begin to shift in your life.
• 1:51:10
  Let things begin to change in your destiny and everything that
• 1:51:14
  is not the planting of God, let it give way.
• 1:51:17
  In Jesus mighty name I pray. In Jesus mighty name I pray who
• 1:51:27
  pastors a church in Newi. Newi, that's all right.
• 1:51:37
  You can stay where you are. You are entering a very strange
• 1:51:41
  season. There is a level of the power of
• 1:51:43
  the Spirit you will begin to see in ministry.
• 1:51:46
  It's a dimension of grace. There is an answer to prayer,
• 1:51:50
  prayer that you have been praying and God is answering you
• 1:51:53
  in this season and the Lord is saying that, Pastor, may we,
• 1:51:57
  that there is an assignment. You don't necessarily have to
• 1:52:02
  come to worry. You have passed no problem.
• 1:52:04
  I presume there are a number of people in the name of Jesus for
• 1:52:07
  that. Pastor, let grace rest upon you.
• 1:52:11
  Let grace rest upon you. Let grace rest upon you.
• 1:52:17
  Hallelujah. I want you to write this down.
• 1:52:25
  There is a move of the Spirit that will begin to happen in a
• 1:52:32
  boring state and it will not be by people there.
• 1:52:37
  There are people God is going to start sending there on
• 1:52:40
  assignment and it's going to be a matter of months.
• 1:52:44
  Some of you, God will ask you by instruction to have an
• 1:52:47
  expression of your ministry there, and it will be wildfire.
• 1:52:51
  There are people God needs to train in that place, but God is
• 1:52:54
  telling me that he's crying for voices in that place.
• 1:52:57
  That there needs to be is like a Macedonian call, a Macedonian
• 1:53:02
  call, a Macedonian call, airpoint state.
• 1:53:06
  This is the Spirit of God revealing to me.
• 1:53:08
  There are some of you here. The burden will come by the
• 1:53:11
  Spirit of God in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 1:53:14
  I am praying for you when that burden comes.
• 1:53:17
  Receive the discernment to hear and see, because I'm seeing in a
• 1:53:28
  vision. There is a small prayer group in
• 1:53:31
  that state. This is what the Lord is
• 1:53:32
  revealing to me and they have been praying.
• 1:53:35
  That God will send somebody to come and mentor them, somebody
• 1:53:39
  that can train them and help them to be people of power who
• 1:53:43
  are praying. May God answer that Macedonian.
• 1:53:45
  Call. By sending strong voices to that
• 1:53:48
  region in the name of Jesus. Please be seated #2 the second
• 1:53:55
  key required. To be used by God, the second
• 1:54:04
  key. Now listen, the call of God
• 1:54:16
  demands. Three major aspects of you.
• 1:54:20
  One, your heart, 2 Your mind. Three, your feet for direction
• 1:54:30
  when God is done dealing with your heart.
• 1:54:33
  The next is your writing. The fifth kind of knowledge you
• 1:54:37
  must have if you want to be greatly used by God is that you
• 1:54:41
  must know and understand man as the zenith of God's creation.
• 1:54:47
  This is a profound revelation. You must understand man as the
• 1:54:53
  zenith of God's creation in all your knowings.
• 1:54:56
  If you do not understand man, you will live a defeated life.
• 1:55:03
  What is man that thou art mindful of?
• 1:55:06
  Nor the Son of man that thou visitest him Can I tell you?
• 1:55:10
  Everything God will bring to your life will pass through man.
• 1:55:14
  You must know man. If you do not understand man as
• 1:55:18
  a species, man from a spiritual and a psychological standpoint,
• 1:55:24
  you will live a defeated life. You will never be able to raise
• 1:55:26
  a great people if you do not know man.
• 1:55:30
  This is when leadership comes. This is where understanding the
• 1:55:34
  principles of relationships come.
• 1:55:37
  There are many people who know God, but they do not know men.
• 1:55:41
  So, so many things leave God but never arrive because the men who
• 1:55:46
  become midwives are often ignored and we do not know how
• 1:55:50
  to partner with men to make things happen.
• 1:55:53
  Can I tell you, men are very important?
• 1:55:56
  You need to have a thorough understanding of men #6 which
• 1:56:02
  will be The final key that you must have and know is that you
• 1:56:08
  must know your adversary, the devil.
• 1:56:12
  You must know your adversary, the devil.
• 1:56:16
  If you do not understand the adversary, again, you will live
• 1:56:21
  a defeated Christian life. As an individual, as a man of
• 1:56:25
  God, you must know your. Adversary, the devil.
• 1:56:31
  Many people feel disinterested in learning anything that has to
• 1:56:35
  do with Satan and anything that has to do with the demonic realm
• 1:56:38
  in a bid to not magnify or glorify Satan.
• 1:56:43
  But one time I was teaching on a series where I made reference to
• 1:56:47
  this and I told the people that one of the ways you become a
• 1:56:51
  professional is by understanding the disaster management systems
• 1:56:55
  around anything you are practicing.
• 1:56:57
  Am I right on that? If you are an oil and gas
• 1:56:59
  company worker, there are trainings that they subject you
• 1:57:03
  on disaster management, not because they want you to go
• 1:57:07
  through it, but so that you are secured when it comes and you
• 1:57:11
  know how to navigate your way around it.
• 1:57:13
  One of the ways that you become a professional pilot is by going
• 1:57:18
  through trainings on plane crashes and how to be able to
• 1:57:22
  work your way around it. You cannot become a cabin crew
• 1:57:25
  member without knowing immediately you enter the plane,
• 1:57:29
  even if it's for a 30 minutes flight.
• 1:57:31
  The cabin crew take out time and immediately they tell you they
• 1:57:35
  are here for your safety and your comfort.
• 1:57:39
  Hallelujah. Many people do not know who
• 1:57:42
  Satan is. Unfortunately, they do not know
• 1:57:45
  who demons are. And their roles and
• 1:57:48
  determination to stop the purposes of God in your life.
• 1:57:52
  Let me announce to you sincerely, there is a devil that
• 1:57:56
  is determined to destroy your life, destroy your church,
• 1:58:00
  destroy your relevance, destroy your bishopric, destroy your
• 1:58:04
  place and your role in God's. Program and if you do not know
• 1:58:08
  how to push the devil and to keep him at Bay, you may live a
• 1:58:13
  defeated life. The moment Jesus was born, Satan
• 1:58:20
  began a project until he was finally defeated.
• 1:58:24
  It was a restless project to see to it that the purposes of God
• 1:58:28
  and the plan of salvation were aborted.
• 1:58:32
  Make no mistakes about it. Satan is aware that you are in a
• 1:58:35
  new group. He knows that you are in the
• 1:58:37
  Southeast. He sees you when you pray, He
• 1:58:40
  sees you when you fast. He had the vow you made with
• 1:58:42
  your life, that God, you can use me.
• 1:58:45
  He was not only God that had the prayer, He had it too When you
• 1:58:50
  were rolling on the ground in worship saying Lord, I will
• 1:58:53
  serve you, grant me souls. Angels were not the only witness
• 1:58:57
  to that prayer. The realm of the Spirit saw
• 1:58:59
  everything, including demons, and there is a determination to
• 1:59:03
  sit with that. If left, they will tear
• 1:59:06
  everything that is pro God in your life in pieces.
• 1:59:10
  But the Bible says now thanks be to God, which causes us always
• 1:59:14
  to triumph. But you see, manifesting the
• 1:59:18
  triumph that has been wrought for us in Christ does not just
• 1:59:22
  depend on what Jesus did. It depends on your ability to
• 1:59:26
  know your adversary and to engage it.
• 1:59:29
  Jesus called Satan the thief in John 1010 and he said the thief
• 1:59:33
  comment not before to steal, to kill, and to destroy.
• 1:59:36
  Then he says, I am come that ye may have life, and that you will
• 1:59:40
  have it more abundantly. I have met many spirits in my
• 1:59:47
  visions. I have met many, many spirits.
• 1:59:50
  I've not seen Satan, as it were in a visionary encounter, but
• 1:59:54
  I've met many demon spirits. I have an idea of the
• 1:59:58
  determination of the demonic Kingdom as far as twatting the
• 2:00:03
  purposes of God is concerned. They will use anything,
• 2:00:06
  accident, sickness, trouble, discouragement, whatever it is.
• 2:00:12
  So we must be equipped, not out of here, but with the requisite
• 2:00:17
  level of spiritual knowledge that helps us to walk in
• 2:00:20
  victory. I desire to come to you, even I
• 2:00:25
  Paul once and again, but Satan hindered.
• 2:00:29
  US. The answer to your prayer desire
• 2:00:34
  to come. But Satan hindered it.
• 2:00:38
  He says do not be ignorant of the devices of the devil.
• 2:00:43
  And you go hear me. Satan has a plan for this state.
• 2:00:48
  Satan has a plan for this region, and believers have the
• 2:00:52
  responsibility to know the adversary and know how to take
• 2:00:56
  advantage of all the weapons of victory that have been provided
• 2:01:00
  for in Christ, to establish the purposes of God and to keep
• 2:01:04
  darkness as be as far as this is concerned.
• 2:01:07
  He will come against your children, He will come against
• 2:01:10
  your spouse, He will come against your ministry, He will
• 2:01:13
  come against your businesses, He will come against all kinds of
• 2:01:16
  things. According to Scripture, there
• 2:01:20
  are only three doorways that Satan has to oppress the Saints.
• 2:01:24
  Number one is called covenants #2 is called ignorance #3 is
• 2:01:29
  called disobedience. These are the only doors from
• 2:01:33
  Genesis to Revelation. Every time Satan has prevailed
• 2:01:37
  over the Saints, it was through the access of one or more of
• 2:01:42
  these doors. Let me repeat again, door #1
• 2:01:45
  covenants. Door #2 Ignorance.
• 2:01:50
  Door #3 disobedience. So it's not enough to say I will
• 2:01:56
  stand against Satan. These doors must be closed.
• 2:02:00
  Of these three, the most destructive of these 3 is.
• 2:02:04
  Covenants. Do you know why?
• 2:02:07
  Because covenant is transgenerational in its
• 2:02:11
  operation. Your ignorance effects you
• 2:02:16
  largely. If you are dead, your ignorance
• 2:02:19
  goes with you. Your disobedience effects you
• 2:02:22
  largely. If you are dead, it goes with
• 2:02:25
  you. But covenants have a
• 2:02:27
  transgenerational implication if left unattended to.
• 2:02:35
  Covenants are powered by altars. An altar is not a physical
• 2:02:39
  monument. An altar is a system of
• 2:02:41
  authorization. It authorizes the operation of
• 2:02:44
  covenants whether the enactor and the initiator is there or
• 2:02:49
  not. Hallelujah.
• 2:02:56
  Years ago I was counseling and a dear man of God, very sincere
• 2:03:01
  person, even though very ignorant, He came and he stood
• 2:03:05
  before me and he said, Apostle moving Acts chapter one.
• 2:03:08
  They were not aware. Acts chapter 2, They were not
• 2:03:11
  aware. Mighty manifestations were going
• 2:03:14
  on, but they were disciples, but they were not aware of anything
• 2:03:16
  at all. If there be any Holy Ghost, and
• 2:03:24
  he was surprised. Verse three he says unto what
• 2:03:27
  then were you baptized? He said unto the baptism of
• 2:03:30
  John. Then he sits them down and
• 2:03:32
  begins to educate them that the baptism of John was a baptism of
• 2:03:35
  repentance, that they should believe on the one who should
• 2:03:38
  come. And after giving them that
• 2:03:40
  orientation, they were baptized in the name of the Lord.
• 2:03:42
  And then he laid hands on them, and they were filled with the
• 2:03:45
  Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues.
• 2:03:48
  And the Bible records that there were twelve of them in number.
• 2:03:54
  There is always more to know. There are higher heights.
• 2:03:58
  Even if you are in heaven, there is still room to come up here.
• 2:04:02
  Hallelujah. And so we must never plateau in
• 2:04:05
  our press for spiritual knowledge, because the level of
• 2:04:08
  light you carry determines the dominion that you will exact
• 2:04:12
  upon the earth. Your efficiency and your
• 2:04:15
  excelling in ministry is based on the kind of light that you
• 2:04:19
  have and that you can prove. Whenever you have light, the
• 2:04:24
  darkness must leave you. John 15 The light shineth in the
• 2:04:28
  darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.
• 2:04:32
  Genesis 112 and three the Bible says in Genesis 1 and verse 2 it
• 2:04:37
  says and the whole earth was dark, void, formless.
• 2:04:41
  And the Spirit of God hovered round the face of the deep, the
• 2:04:44
  waters. And verse 3 And God said the
• 2:04:48
  talking Spirit, Elohim said light and that was the end of
• 2:04:53
  darkness. Hallelujah.
• 2:04:58
  When God walks upon your heart, your next project becomes an
• 2:05:04
  intentional pursuit of light. Let me submit to you as I
• 2:05:08
  prepare to round up. There are many of us here, your
• 2:05:12
  spiritual unbecoming, and I'm saying this with all due
• 2:05:16
  respect. The truth is that you love God.
• 2:05:19
  God has worked on your heart, but many people cannot come and
• 2:05:22
  listen to you because your light is small.
• 2:05:26
  Your light is small. It is a dangerous thing.
• 2:05:30
  If all the members in your church have greater spiritual
• 2:05:33
  life than you, they will not hate you, but they can't listen
• 2:05:36
  to you. This is an uncomfortable truth.
• 2:05:41
  This morning's meeting double S as a pastor's conference.
• 2:05:43
  It is not about being competitive.
• 2:05:46
  Let your people look forward to hearing you, because the opening
• 2:05:49
  of your lips is a communication of wisdom.
• 2:05:51
  They know that you have studied to show yourself a proof unto
• 2:05:55
  God, a Walkman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
• 2:05:59
  the word of truth. He says, if these things be in
• 2:06:02
  you and remain, they will make that you are neither fruitful
• 2:06:05
  nor barren in the knowledge of the Lord.
• 2:06:09
  Hallelujah, I made-up my mind as a man of God that I will never
• 2:06:13
  go anywhere and teach God's people.
• 2:06:15
  And at the end they are just nodding and saying, well this is
• 2:06:17
  just a total waste of my time. I wasted time to have come here.
• 2:06:21
  Ladies and gentlemen, light is not a gift.
• 2:06:25
  Light is not a gift. Let me repeat it.
• 2:06:29
  There is no gift of light in the Bible when it has to do with the
• 2:06:34
  ministry of light. You, it is your responsibility
• 2:06:41
  to press for light. There are many ways that the
• 2:06:45
  Bible teaches us to have light. Number one is the entrance of
• 2:06:49
  thy word, giveth light and understanding onto the symbol
• 2:06:55
  number one. Number two, we are taught, based
• 2:06:58
  on the mystery that is captured in the parable of the 10
• 2:07:01
  virgins, that everyone can buy a lamp.
• 2:07:05
  A lamp is an instrument that gives light, and when you buy
• 2:07:09
  the lamp, it is your responsibility to also look for
• 2:07:12
  those who sell the oil so that when you oil your lamp you can
• 2:07:16
  keep your light burning. Hallelujah.
• 2:07:24
  Number 31 of the ways we get light is to look for somebody
• 2:07:28
  whose candle is shining and sit down in the room there, because
• 2:07:33
  you can use the light of another and you can see what you learn.
• 2:07:39
  There are many, many people who are not sound in doctrine, not
• 2:07:44
  sound in Scripture. I beseech you, ministers of the
• 2:07:47
  gospel and believers, if we are to rise to do much for the
• 2:07:51
  Kingdom, if we want Him to trust us with men and destinies, then
• 2:07:55
  we must contend for high level spiritual illumination.
• 2:08:00
  High level spiritual illumination, doctrinally sound
• 2:08:05
  garnish with intelligence and grace.
• 2:08:08
  When you communicate that to God's people, God can.
• 2:08:11
  Trust you with His people. God will not give you a
• 2:08:14
  membership of 1005 thousand, 10,050 thousand, and all you
• 2:08:19
  keep doing is just recycling inferior knowledge.
• 2:08:23
  Because you see, the intent of the teaching ministry is to
• 2:08:26
  build God's people. James, I mean Jeremiah 315 And I
• 2:08:31
  will give you pastors or shepherds according to my heart,
• 2:08:36
  and they will feed you. The Bible says with knowledge
• 2:08:39
  and understanding. When Satan wants to destroy
• 2:08:46
  people, he strikes the shepherd and the sheep's cutters.
• 2:08:53
  I made-up my mind that all the people that God will bring to my
• 2:08:57
  life as a global family and the privilege of serving the body of
• 2:09:01
  Christ. I will continue to do my
• 2:09:03
  homework between yesterday and today.
• 2:09:08
  I have listened to the teaching yesterday night twice.
• 2:09:13
  What I taught yesterday night, I have listened to it twice before
• 2:09:16
  coming here this morning. I always listen number one for
• 2:09:20
  my personal edification because it is God speaking to me through
• 2:09:24
  me, and then #2 I listen for improvement.
• 2:09:29
  It is a culture and a discipline with no excuse.
• 2:09:34
  No matter how tired I am, it's not an excuse.
• 2:09:37
  What I preached on Sunday, I have listened to it twice before
• 2:09:42
  evening. I would have listened to what I
• 2:09:44
  preach. Now.
• 2:09:45
  Men of God, let's be sincere, it's not all about impartation.
• 2:09:48
  There is a dimension of laziness we must cast out this morning.
• 2:09:52
  In the name of Jesus Christ. I am always on a project
• 2:10:00
  studying something. There's Bible on MP3.
• 2:10:05
  Give me 5 minutes to be pragmatic and just give us a few
• 2:10:08
  guides. You must discipline yourself.
• 2:10:11
  Study scripture. Don't just study to fish out
• 2:10:14
  sermons for your overall understanding of.
• 2:10:16
  Scripture It is difficult for the Holy Spirit to use your
• 2:10:19
  creativity to help you teach well when you are bankrupt of
• 2:10:23
  knowledge. When you give him the
• 2:10:24
  versatility of scripture, he can walk around your entire.
• 2:10:28
  Intelligence to make your presentation worthwhile.
• 2:10:32
  Even the gifts of the Spirit depend on the versatility of
• 2:10:35
  your intelligence. So God is calling us to sit
• 2:10:41
  down, buy books, study in my personal place of study.
• 2:10:47
  Now I'm studying on the healing ministry afresh again.
• 2:10:51
  There are materials of Charles and Francis Hunter, materials of
• 2:10:55
  John Lake, and I'm studying materials of TL Osborne.
• 2:10:59
  I'm studying afresh. Why?
• 2:11:01
  Because God has revealed that He's restoring the healing
• 2:11:05
  mantels again to the earth. Just waiting until He comes will
• 2:11:10
  not bring it. You must position yourself.
• 2:11:14
  Are we together? You can study on church growth.
• 2:11:20
  You can get materials. You see, the Internet has given
• 2:11:23
  us an uncommon advantage to learn so that even if you are
• 2:11:28
  too proud to attend a conference, you can humble
• 2:11:31
  yourself and study alone within the room there.
• 2:11:34
  God has gone that far to make sure that any man of God that is
• 2:11:38
  not effective in ministry is just proud and lazy, because the
• 2:11:42
  truth is that the means to grow has been brought within our
• 2:11:46
  reach. Hallelujah.
• 2:11:52
  I don't tolerate ignorance in my life.
• 2:11:54
  As a man of God, I fight ignorance like I fight the
• 2:11:57
  devil. I want to know the things I do
• 2:12:02
  not know. And when I find areas of
• 2:12:04
  ignorance, I don't have the time to allow pride interrupt my
• 2:12:08
  growth. I'm on a project for growth.
• 2:12:10
  I'm on a project of expansion because I have taught you that
• 2:12:14
  the oil will always assume the shape of the vessel.
• 2:12:18
  If the vessel is small, it will make the oil look small.
• 2:12:21
  The problem was not the oil. The problem was the vessel
• 2:12:24
  carrying the oil. And the prophet said, go and
• 2:12:27
  borrow vessels. Borrow not a few.
• 2:12:29
  You may not borrow oil, but you can borrow vessels.
• 2:12:35
  Ministers of the gospel, God is trusting us as far as our
• 2:12:40
  members are concerned. And let me give one last advice.
• 2:12:45
  This is with all humility. It is good to have programs and
• 2:12:51
  to bring in men of God to bless your people, but don't fail in
• 2:12:55
  your assignment of being a shepherd over God's people.
• 2:12:59
  You are the one assigned to the sheep.
• 2:13:02
  Do your job with diligence. There are men of God who in a
• 2:13:05
  year they may not preach up to three months put in place.
• 2:13:09
  All the other preachings are just people being brought.
• 2:13:12
  That may look like it's nice, but you are destroying the
• 2:13:15
  unique contribution God gave you to bring.
• 2:13:19
  You must stay and train your people to have a certain
• 2:13:23
  understanding. Then other graces and vessels
• 2:13:26
  can come and support them. You see now there is a way You
• 2:13:30
  are supposed to mold and build your people so that it doesn't
• 2:13:34
  matter who you invite. It doesn't matter whether you
• 2:13:37
  fully agree with what is communicated or not.
• 2:13:39
  You are not afraid that your people would delve to error
• 2:13:42
  because you have structured them in a certain understanding.
• 2:13:46
  Are we together? Yes.
• 2:13:49
  We need to obtain grace to settle down and do our homework.
• 2:13:52
  This is a conference and so there is a limit to which we can
• 2:13:56
  stretch and teach. But the way I teach in a
• 2:13:58
  conference will not be the way I teach back.
• 2:14:01
  Home. Because my people are with me,
• 2:14:03
  they are with me technically for as long, the longevity, the
• 2:14:06
  lifetime of the ministry. So I'm not in a rush.
• 2:14:09
  I take the time to deal with certain things.
• 2:14:11
  In a conference. You are compressing information
• 2:14:14
  within the time allotted and you are trying to do justice to the
• 2:14:17
  topic allotted. You see that now?
• 2:14:20
  Don't teach your people as if you are teaching in a
• 2:14:22
  convention. You would destroy them.
• 2:14:24
  Don't just give them key points and keynotes.
• 2:14:27
  Structure their understanding and build them to be people of
• 2:14:31
  stature who are possible. I've taught on faith.
• 2:14:36
  The Holy Spirit is telling me to teach on faith again.
• 2:14:38
  One day says that I don't have any salmon again.
• 2:14:40
  Teach it again, Repeat it again and again.
• 2:14:43
  Teach it again, Teach it again until you begin to see the fruit
• 2:14:47
  of transformation from what you have taught in the Kingdom.
• 2:14:52
  It is not just newness that brings impact, it is freshness.
• 2:14:57
  If you are really a man of the presence, you can teach 1 salmon
• 2:15:01
  one topic all year and it will not sound the same.
• 2:15:08
  Are we together? Can we find a place to pray now?
• 2:15:14
  From the rising of the sun to the setting of the same Your
• 2:15:23
  name. Is too behind old from the
• 2:15:33
  rising of the sun. To the.
• 2:15:37
  Setting of the same Your name is to be hallowed I'd.
• 2:15:52
  Like you to hold the hands of someone.
• 2:15:53
  I want us to do a prayer of agreement over the church in
• 2:15:57
  Indigo. Don't worry if you cannot reach
• 2:16:00
  anybody, just make sure your hand is holding someone, even if
• 2:16:02
  it's just one person. We are going to agree as the
• 2:16:06
  Church of the Lord Jesus Christ that it must be a new season for
• 2:16:10
  the church in Enugu and the church in the East.
• 2:16:14
  This is an Eastern Conference and it's time for us to pray and
• 2:16:18
  say, Father, the sound that should come from the East to the
• 2:16:22
  nations. Let it begin to blow now.
• 2:16:25
  Let it begin to blow the contribution that has been
• 2:16:28
  allotted for the East Yemen, every region of the six
• 2:16:32
  geopolitical zones. By the privilege of God's grace.
• 2:16:36
  I've been to everywhere across this nation, regionally
• 2:16:39
  speaking. I can tell you by the Spirit of
• 2:16:41
  God, I have discerned the unique demands of God and the unique
• 2:16:45
  expectations of God from that region as a contribution to His
• 2:16:50
  program in the nation. The East must not fail God must
• 2:16:54
  not fail this nation and must not fail the program of God by
• 2:16:59
  aborting the dimension and the contribution that God has
• 2:17:02
  mandated upon you to deliver. In the East there are prophets,
• 2:17:06
  there are apostles, there are evangelists, there are
• 2:17:08
  missionaries, there are teachers.
• 2:17:11
  We are waiting for the unique contribution of God's grace that
• 2:17:15
  he has deposited within the. East our prayer will be O God,
• 2:17:19
  let it rise from within our spirits, the men and the women
• 2:17:23
  who will be raised by God. The sound of revival that will
• 2:17:27
  come from the East is someone pray.
• 2:17:29
  Pray for every church you know. Pray for every man of God in the
• 2:17:34
  East that you know while holding hands as a sign of unity.
• 2:17:39
  In spite of our differences, theologically speaking, our
• 2:17:43
  differences in terms of revelation and perspective, I'd
• 2:17:47
  like you to pray. Father, arise over the east.
• 2:17:56
  Someone is praying. Let the church in the East be a
• 2:18:03
  Lampscan that has been put upon a bushel upon a Candlestick, not
• 2:18:10
  one that is hiding under a bushel.
• 2:18:14
  Chakra pasala kata frasca Pala katos.
• 2:18:18
  Hallelujah, Hallelujah. I want you to mention every
• 2:18:24
  state that makes up the Eastern region.
• 2:18:26
  You know it. Mention it by name and say, Lord
• 2:18:29
  revival fire, let it fall. Go ahead and pray.
• 2:18:33
  Mention it. Take a minute to.
• 2:18:38
  Pray Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 2:18:48
  Now we are going to pray. We are ministers of the gospel
• 2:18:52
  and there is no point hiding it. We know that there are
• 2:18:54
  purifications happening in the body of Christ.
• 2:18:57
  There are certain things that have been and remained a cancer
• 2:19:00
  to the body of Christ. Make reference to my teaching
• 2:19:03
  the purified church. The Lord gave me a revelation of
• 2:19:07
  6 deadly sins that needs to leave the church if we are to
• 2:19:11
  experience the glory of God and I've done a teaching on that.
• 2:19:14
  You can use it as a retreat material and flog it out with
• 2:19:18
  destiny. There are things that the devil
• 2:19:20
  is programming to destroy men and women of God to destroy
• 2:19:25
  great vessels. We're going to stand and lift
• 2:19:28
  our voices that over the East, those things that bring down the
• 2:19:33
  great from lost to pride to lying to witchcraft to
• 2:19:38
  manipulation. We're going to say, Lord, we
• 2:19:40
  raise a standard of mercy over the entire East that those who
• 2:19:45
  are already trapped in some of these things, May God bring
• 2:19:48
  deliverance for them and for those who are still standing.
• 2:19:52
  The Bible says let he that thinketh his stand, take heed
• 2:19:56
  lest he falls. Please open your mouth and pray
• 2:19:58
  you're not wasting your time. Pray for our campuses.
• 2:20:04
  Pray for our churches, men and women of godfather, that which
• 2:20:10
  brings the greats down to the ground, down to the earth.
• 2:20:15
  Preserve priesthood in the East. Preserve priesthood in the East.
• 2:20:21
  Let the prophets be accurate and pure.
• 2:20:25
  Let the apostles be accurate and pure.
• 2:20:28
  Let the evangelist be accurate and pure.
• 2:20:31
  Please make this prayer investment over the east
• 2:20:35
  beginning from Enugu. Let it spread.
• 2:20:41
  Not every practice that is Antichrist, every practice that
• 2:20:47
  is anti Kingdom, every wrong practice for gain, every
• 2:20:52
  manipulation. Deposited several of his
• 2:20:55
  dimensions in you that in our coming together we bring a
• 2:20:59
  clearer picture of the Lord Jesus to the nations.
• 2:21:02
  You're going to pray Lord the grace to I to appreciate all
• 2:21:06
  that gifts within the body. Whatever makes you pride in
• 2:21:09
  individualism. This thing about church fighting
• 2:21:12
  church pastor fighting church people conspiring against one
• 2:21:16
  another. Those things we have to grow.
• 2:21:19
  It takes maturity to grow out of these things.
• 2:21:22
  Lift your voice and cry for the unity of the church in the East.
• 2:21:26
  The unity of the church in the East, from our campuses to our
• 2:21:33
  churches in Enugu, that a time. Will come when a man of God is
• 2:21:37
  organizing a program and another man of God can pray for the
• 2:21:41
  bosses and says my contribution for your program, go ahead and
• 2:21:48
  pray. Let this be a passionate prayer
• 2:21:51
  from your heart, Father. The spirit of competition, the
• 2:21:56
  spirit of jealousy that rejoices over the downfall of others.
• 2:22:04
  We cost it by the Spirit of God. Let the church in the East be
• 2:22:09
  united. There may be diversity in terms
• 2:22:14
  of perspectives, in terms of doctrine and practices, but that
• 2:22:18
  everyone who names the name of Jesus indeed give us tolerance,
• 2:22:23
  give us for parents, give us a commotation for one another.
• 2:22:30
  Please pray that prayers we wrap up.
• 2:22:51
  Throughout the endless ages you will be crowned with praises,
• 2:22:59
  Lord, Most exalted in every nation, Sovereign of all
• 2:23:12
  creation, Lord. Most.
• 2:23:19
  Be magnified. Listen, this is what it is
• 2:23:26
  about. Let there be unity among the men
• 2:23:30
  and the women of God. Let there be mutual respect.
• 2:23:34
  I cannot dishonor the man of God, dishonor the man of God,
• 2:23:40
  dishonor the man of God, dishonor the woman of God and
• 2:23:44
  said there should be unity. No, when you downplay on
• 2:23:48
  people's relevance and you make it look like they are not
• 2:23:51
  serving God and they are not serious, they will never be
• 2:23:53
  unity. Can I tell you this as we wrap
• 2:23:55
  up, Everybody who loves Jesus is doing the best.
• 2:23:59
  They know we may be different in terms of the level of life we
• 2:24:02
  have received, but don't see someone pastoring 10 members and
• 2:24:06
  smile and just smile in disdain as if this man, you don't know
• 2:24:11
  anything. The man may be teaching the
• 2:24:13
  revelation that he knows and he's doing the best with what he
• 2:24:17
  knows. You maybe sound like like Aquila
• 2:24:20
  and Priscilla, but humble yourself and listen.
• 2:24:23
  If there is nothing to learn from the man, lend diligence.
• 2:24:28
  There will always be something to learn when your heart is
• 2:24:31
  open. Are we together?
• 2:24:33
  We must drive away this pride. This is what causes a lot of
• 2:24:36
  annoyance. So if I downplay this man of
• 2:24:40
  God, I downplay this woman of God.
• 2:24:42
  I say you're a woman. Your ministry is nonsense.
• 2:24:44
  While you are talking about serious people here, how do you
• 2:24:47
  expect the person to feel? You see, and we need to be
• 2:24:51
  careful so that our members don't keep joining their heads
• 2:24:55
  together. Somebody comes and is reporting.
• 2:24:57
  He's laughing at another man of God for you as his pastor.
• 2:25:01
  Rebuke the person there and then and tell the person that's not
• 2:25:04
  how it works. No, they are hosting a
• 2:25:07
  conference. So what?
• 2:25:09
  Ah, these people are hosting a conference.
• 2:25:10
  They are laughing. You can imagine they are
• 2:25:12
  canopies, not even standing. Well, do you know that there are
• 2:25:15
  plenty seats in the auditorium? Nobody even came.
• 2:25:17
  And you join them to laugh. No, no.
• 2:25:22
  You call that person and sit down and say, my dear son, my
• 2:25:24
  dear daughter, let me teach you something.
• 2:25:26
  Everyone soul that is in that auditorium is worth the blood of
• 2:25:29
  Jesus and you educate that person, otherwise you will.
• 2:25:33
  Carry that ignorance as a campus fellowship president court see
• 2:25:36
  your endorsement and one mislead other people.
• 2:25:39
  It will start from campus. They will graduate and start a
• 2:25:42
  branch. Multiply that error and it will
• 2:25:45
  be a. Cancer to the body of Christ, I
• 2:25:50
  found myself supporting meetings I have no business about.
• 2:25:54
  When I hear that God is moving. It's anything.
• 2:25:56
  Sometimes I just do it quietly or please the ministers that are
• 2:26:00
  coming. Can this one help the hotel bill
• 2:26:02
  of another? Can you do this?
• 2:26:04
  You don't need to tell them who did it.
• 2:26:05
  The most important thing is that Jesus is exalted.
• 2:26:10
  I look forward to a time in the East where a man of God is
• 2:26:14
  organizing a program. A woman of God is organizing a
• 2:26:17
  program and before you know it you get up and come and you say
• 2:26:21
  I just came to show solidarity and support.
• 2:26:24
  Just to let you know that we're with you in this, even if it is
• 2:26:27
  5 minutes, here is 10 naira. It is my support.
• 2:26:30
  We thank God for the mighty things you are doing that you
• 2:26:33
  can differ in Revelation and Rhema and you still hold one
• 2:26:36
  another and say thank you. That was a great message.
• 2:26:43
  Can that happen in the East? Are we in agreement that that
• 2:26:47
  can happen? We must start it beginning from
• 2:26:49
  here. So don't downplay anybody and
• 2:26:53
  say this lady, she raised a song and I didn't hear anything.
• 2:26:56
  It's as if the angels left when she raised a song.
• 2:26:58
  Stop using all those sarcastic expressions.
• 2:27:01
  Everybody is a student in training.
• 2:27:04
  If God has granted you the grace to go ahead, be patient with
• 2:27:07
  others while God is working on them.
• 2:27:10
  And hear me when you find a man of God who is defaulting in
• 2:27:14
  character, talking about them and laughing at them and wishing
• 2:27:17
  their downfall is not the way out As God grants you grace, you
• 2:27:20
  can reach to them and say, listen, I know you are a prophet
• 2:27:23
  and you love God, but have you considered making adjustment
• 2:27:26
  this way? This is not how money is.
• 2:27:28
  Raised. If you say that and they refuse,
• 2:27:31
  no problem, they've opened themselves to their own
• 2:27:33
  destruction. But don't rejoice over the
• 2:27:35
  downfall of another. Rain comes to wash another
• 2:27:38
  person's shirt and you are laughing.
• 2:27:40
  You are rejoicing. No, that is a Luciferian
• 2:27:43
  attitude. I'm sorry you.
• 2:27:47
  Let me just say this so that we wrap up.
• 2:27:51
  Praise the name of the Lord. I'm going to do something now
• 2:27:55
  and I'm going to ask you is a prophetic instruction.
• 2:27:58
  Don't we lay some of the ministers that are in front?
• 2:28:01
  But I want you to walk to everybody you can see and tell
• 2:28:05
  them I appreciate the grace of God upon your life.
• 2:28:07
  I appreciate them sincerely. I'm giving you the next two
• 2:28:10
  minutes walk to somebody whether you know the person or not.
• 2:28:14
  I appreciate the person sincerely.
• 2:28:17
  And if you know he's a man of God, don't pretend like you
• 2:28:19
  don't know. Tell him.
• 2:28:21
  I listened to your message last week.
• 2:28:23
  Thank you for that revelation you brought.
• 2:28:25
  You are a person of prayer. Go ahead.
• 2:28:30
  Go ahead and look who states. Let's plant the seed of unity
• 2:28:33
  right now. Respect them, Pastor.
• 2:28:40
  Thank you. I'm aware that you are having a
• 2:28:43
  building project. May God honor you.
• 2:28:49
  Please don't. Don't let those were in front.
• 2:28:58
  Tell them I appreciate the hand of God upon your life.
• 2:29:01
  Don't say he's a young boy. He's just a campus Fellowship
• 2:29:04
  president. Respect him as a Campus
• 2:29:06
  Fellowship president. Go ahead and train.
• 2:29:14
  Go ahead and greet one another. I appreciate them.
• 2:29:19
  Now you can go back to your seat, man of God, hold
• 2:29:22
  yourselves and greet yourselves. Thank God for the Greek and
• 2:29:26
  Hebrew. I know you pray more than me,
• 2:29:28
  but I appreciate you. I appreciate the grace of God
• 2:29:31
  upon your life. In fact, I'm coming to visit
• 2:29:34
  your church next week. You may want to tell one or two
• 2:29:37
  of them. Now you can return to your state
• 2:29:53
  and let's wrap up. Hallelujah, Hold hands again.
• 2:30:01
  We're wrapping up. I'm not wasting your time.
• 2:30:03
  My apologies for stretching you. Hold hands together.
• 2:30:08
  Let these sentiments of competition based on money,
• 2:30:13
  based on membership size respect everybody as touching what God
• 2:30:19
  has given them and you will find out that jealousy and envy goes
• 2:30:23
  you can celebrate with others. She's a woman of prayer.
• 2:30:27
  Don't pretend she's not or no harm for who she is.
• 2:30:30
  He's a young campus fellowship president that you already see
• 2:30:34
  that God is raising him as an imagined voice.
• 2:30:36
  Don't look at him and say I started ministry when you were
• 2:30:39
  born. He may be young, but there is
• 2:30:41
  something he's doing. He may be careless because of
• 2:30:45
  you know, teenage or don't listen.
• 2:30:48
  You can call him to order. Don't discourage him and act
• 2:30:51
  like he's not anointed when you see grace, don't ignore it and
• 2:30:54
  you when they appreciate you, reciprocate it.
• 2:30:58
  Don't be the only one receiving. Find a program that is happening
• 2:31:03
  that you are not the organizer and so 100,000 and say let this
• 2:31:07
  be my seed. I came for this Apostolic
• 2:31:10
  conference and we have been taught if one person in the East
• 2:31:14
  gets saved, the East has improved.
• 2:31:17
  If one person finds revelation in the East, the East has
• 2:31:21
  improved. Let's hold hands, Lord, make us
• 2:31:27
  instruments of your peace. Where there is hatred, let your
• 2:31:38
  love increase. Lord, make us instruments of
• 2:31:48
  your peace. The walls of Pride and prejudice
• 2:31:55
  shall see when we are your instruments.
• 2:32:08
  Our so humble seen pastors from other regions come Pastor House
• 2:32:12
  on the rock all the way from Abia.
• 2:32:16
  Hallelujah. Venerable.
• 2:32:20
  I saw him all the way from Onicha.
• 2:32:23
  They just finished the conference.
• 2:32:24
  Not too long. Hallelujah.
• 2:32:26
  Reverend Vindiolu from Nusuka and a number of other pastors.
• 2:32:32
  Can I tell you if they did this for your meeting, do it for the
• 2:32:35
  meeting of another person too, just to encourage them.
• 2:32:43
  You can sit down and say, you know what?
• 2:32:45
  I hear there is a great meeting happening.
• 2:32:47
  I may not be able to be there, but I can send two bosses to
• 2:32:51
  convey students from the campus. Let Jesus be glorified.
• 2:32:54
  And the truth is that with all that I've said, there are people
• 2:32:57
  who will still not appreciate you.
• 2:32:58
  Don't worry, you are doing it unto the Lord.
• 2:33:03
  You may not sow what you reap, or you may not sow where you
• 2:33:08
  reap where you sow, for you will sow you will reap what you have
• 2:33:12
  sow Hallelujah. I made-up my mind that among the
• 2:33:16
  many things that will be to the body of Christ is a breach that
• 2:33:20
  brings unity. Hallelujah.
• 2:33:24
  Yes, respect everybody. Don't go and see some old
• 2:33:29
  reverend in your old church and while he's teaching, you are
• 2:33:32
  there laughing and saying, this man, I used to know him as a
• 2:33:35
  baby. He's still teaching this
• 2:33:37
  nonsense till now. No, no, you go there, you humble
• 2:33:41
  yourself. They say lift up your hands, you
• 2:33:44
  lift up your hand with humility. Don't put your hand in your
• 2:33:47
  pocket when they are saying lift up because you have become a
• 2:33:49
  general overseer. It's bad mentorship.
• 2:33:51
  You are enjoying it till the sons you are raising start doing
• 2:33:54
  what you are doing. That's when you will see that
• 2:33:56
  you've not been a good mentor. There are things we are
• 2:33:59
  temperate not just for ourselves but for the sake of those who
• 2:34:02
  are watching us so that we do not mislead a generation looking
• 2:34:06
  up to us. I did this in the open
• 2:34:10
  especially so that ministers that God is helping who are
• 2:34:13
  coming will immediately kill that wrong spirit that is
• 2:34:17
  already growing. So you can go back to your
• 2:34:19
  campus now and XYZ fellowship, you can hog ABC fellowship and
• 2:34:23
  say May God bless you, I appreciate you.
• 2:34:26
  We may define revelation, our perspectives may differ, but is
• 2:34:30
  too small a reason to be fighting one another and wishing
• 2:34:33
  for the death of others? There are people who literally
• 2:34:36
  wish other people to die. ABBA, Hallelujah.
• 2:34:45
  Lord Jesus, we thank you. You are moving mightily across
• 2:34:48
  the East, and we thank you because in the name of Jesus,
• 2:34:52
  this revival fire you are planting in the East will be
• 2:34:55
  sustained. This move of unity will be
• 2:34:58
  sustained. This.
• 2:35:00
  Alignment in the Spirit will be sustained in the name of Jesus
• 2:35:04
  Christ our Lord. We are praying that tonight.
• 2:35:07
  Let it be a rain of your glory in this place.
• 2:35:10
  Let every man of God, woman of God, let everyone who comes
• 2:35:14
  here. Tonight, may they catch fire
• 2:35:16
  indeed. Lord, there are ministries that
• 2:35:19
  may seem to be going down find the flames of the altar through
• 2:35:23
  this program in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:35:27
  And Lord, for ministries that are about to be perfect, we pray
• 2:35:30
  that you align the individuals correctly, that as they receive
• 2:35:34
  this mandate, they will run with it.
• 2:35:36
  But Lord, by every scriptural means we're praying move over
• 2:35:40
  the east, move over the east, breathe over the east in the
• 2:35:45
  name. Of Jesus we pray.
• 2:35:48
  Amen and Amen. So I understand we're here from
• 2:35:50
  3:00. Let me encourage you.
• 2:35:52
  For those of you who stay far, I may encourage that you just hang
• 2:35:55
  around and be in prayer, listening to the message again
• 2:35:58
  and preparing your heart. You'll be an impartation
• 2:36:01
  tonight. I'll be sharing with you a
• 2:36:03
  mystery and then we're going to be praying and trusting the Lord
• 2:36:06
  to minister to the needs of his people.
• 2:36:08
  To Jesus be all the glory. In Jesus name I pray.
• 2:36:27
  Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Clap your hands once again for
• 2:36:32
  Jesus. Please.
• 2:36:36
  Those of you, those of you going out, give me your attention in
• 2:36:41
  the next one or two minutes will be true.
