  Speaker 2: the kingdom, the power and glory. Forever and ever. Amen.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Come on. Come on.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Praise the Lord. Can somebody shout amen like thunder? Amen.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: If your amen is louder, collect the people in your line.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Collect all their blessings. Shout out amen like thunder.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: If you know that hour you have been waiting for
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: like a goalkeeper. That the ball is about to drop
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: in your court. I want your amen to trouble your neighbor.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Shout out amen like thunder. Amen.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I want you to holla at him and I turn.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I'm the most blessed man in this world. I don't
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: know about you. When I stood here, I started smiling.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: And I'm just looking at what is happening here. And
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing the beauty of following grace men. That a
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: dummy can become successful if he connects to the right instructor.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: If you put your arrow, your destiny as an arrow
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: in the hand of a.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Hatcher that knows how to direct you, nothing can stop you.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I can remember where my life was.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: In 2016 before I encountered him.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: And you see today, 2023.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Sorry, the Holy Ghost will interpret what I'm saying.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, see my father smiling. He's doing something in my body.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Come on, my father is smiling. See my father smiling.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: See my father smiling. Profess are destiny changers.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Yes. He was there in 2021, pointed his finger and said,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: because I told him that we are having prostitutes all
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: over ShopRite, that the level of prostitution is becoming too much.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: He just lifted his voice and he spoke. For three months,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: we didn't see prostitutes in ShopRite. And they returned because
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: we could not hold what he has given to us.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: By the time he speaks to our territory and region,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: when he goes, we'll hold it back. Is somebody shouting
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: ML like thunder? You see, there are men that climb
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: that sea. There are men that are rainmakers. The man
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: here is a rainmaker. He's a climate changer. God uses
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: him to transform destinies.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Jesus.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Where I go start, where I go stop? My wife
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: just held me and said, sweetie, we are blessed. Having my,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: it's very emotional. I'm writing a book called Mentorship, The
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Shortcut to Success. I finished it. When I encountered him,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I had to park the book at the side and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: begin to redefine fatherhood. Because he has redefined fatherhood to me.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: We have been taught that we should always keep giving
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to fathers, giving to fathers. I am shocked to meet
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a father that changed the narrative. When I sit with him,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: he holds me. And say I love you.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Oh God.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: If you have never encountered Jesus. When you encounter this man.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: You will know who Jesus is. A practical revelation of Jesus.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: In human flesh. When he says I love you. It
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: comes from the depth of his heart. I feel the warmth.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: And he is serious about it. His heart pounds for
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: my greatness. And for my increase.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: He told me three years ago. Pastor Ike.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Repackage the name of the ministry. I didn't catch it.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Immediately I obeyed. The heavens opened. In his light I
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: see light. He shows me the possibilities that exist. See
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: what God is doing here. Because I socketed my destiny
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to a man like this.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I want to tell you, wherever you.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Were before, after today, your dynasty is, oh God, where
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: will I sit?
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: It's exploding, it's exploding, it's exploding, it's exploding. Do you
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: know who is here?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Destiny on two legs. Wisdom on two legs. Grace on
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: two legs. Climate changer.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: And God. Oh God. Where will I start from? The
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: apostle of our generation. A revivalist. A man that loves
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the church. A man that loves the people of God.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: A man paying the price for our destiny. Asaba. Asaba. Asaba.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Asaba.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Are you ready? I'm not feeling your energy. I'm not
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: feeling your energy.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: You're not behaving like somebody that wants.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: To extend their change. I want you to jump. I
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: want you to shout with Jesus' joy. A jumping ovation.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: A shouting ovation.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: A loud voice. A loud expectation.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Welcome my father, Apostle Joshua Selma.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: As he comes to me this afternoon. Hallelujah.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Jesus be glorified. Jesus be glorified. Jesus be glorified. Let's
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: celebrate what God is doing.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Hallelujah.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: And I want you to please help me bless Pastor Ike.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: And his dear wife. Give him a big, big, big, big.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: If you were not in ministry, I would have recommended
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: you to do politics.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah. This man can speak. He would talk and talk
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and talk and I was watching and I said, oh God.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: But we give Jesus the praise. Hallelujah.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Please help me honor every man and every woman of
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: God here. Give them a big, big God bless you.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: It takes a lot of humility and maturity for men
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: of God to live their busy schedules and to come
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to be part of this apostolic encounter. And I particularly
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: want to honor my dear friend, Bishop Jude.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: God bless you. Such an honor. Thank you. Thank you
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: so much. Amen.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: It is true that when God wants to lift men,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: he sends men. It is true that when God wants
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to redefine our possibilities, He will send men to our lives.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Whether we are attentive to what the Spirit is saying
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and doing or not is a different ballgame. But I'm
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: praying in the name of Jesus, hence you have come,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: that the grace to hear, the grace to listen, the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: grace to understand may be released upon you in the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus. Do you believe in prayer? Can we
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: pray for a few minutes? Let your prayer tonight be
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: a simple cry. Father, do in me whatever it.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Would take to position me for the next level in
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the spirit. Go ahead and pray. Do in me everything.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: The pruning, the building, the transformation, illumination. Someone prays. From
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the front to the back, the left to the right,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: connection online, go ahead and pray. Go ahead and pray.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, for everyone that asketh, receiveth. You are
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: a man of God, pray. Businessman, pray. Anoint my everything.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Use my everything. I release my everything. You have my everything.

  Speaker 2: Take all of me. All of me, Lord. You have
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: my everything. Take all of me. All of me, Lord.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: You have my everything. Are you praying? You have my everything.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: You have my everything. You have my everything. You have
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: my everything. Take all of me.

  Speaker 2: You have my everything. Use all of me.

  Speaker 1: Rebuild my everything. Remake my everything. Use my everything.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Take all of me, all of me, Lord. You have
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: my everything.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Take all of me, all of me, Lord. We're still praying.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Just a minute to pray.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Let it be a cry from your heart. You came
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: for an encounter tonight. And call me.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: All of me, Lord.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Use all of me.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: All of me, Lord. Take all of me. All of me, Lord.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Jesus.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Alleluia.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Spirit of the living God, we pray that tonight you
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: find the people ready to receive. We pray tonight that
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: you will find the people yielded, ready to receive, ready
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: to learn. We strip ourselves of every pride. We strip
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: ourselves of every vain glory. And Father, we cry that
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: tonight let only one person be seen in this place. Jesus,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: even the Son of the living God. That only one
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: person be exalted in this place. Jesus. Even the son
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: of the living God. Lord we stand and we hide
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: behind the cross. And we cry oh God. That as
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: your people set their gaze upon this preacher.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: May they see Jesus. May they see Jesus. In his power.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: In his wisdom. In his grace. And to you be
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: all the glory. For in Jesus' name we pray. God
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: bless you. Please be seated. God bless you. And you
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: may be seated. Yesterday, I didn't have the opportunity to
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: follow Dr. Obueli's session.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I wanted to just follow to hear what he was
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: saying so that We just connect from there, but I
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: was in Lagos, so I was able to pick.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: A few things. I think later on, just try to
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: go through it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: And I was very, very touched by the perspectives that
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: he brought yesterday. And I just thought it was something
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: that God had put in my heart. And so when
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: he began to talk about these things yesterday, I was
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: very touched. And I thought to just build from there.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Because....
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: It's important that we understand God's emphasis in these last days.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Please lend me your attention. It is important. Very, very important.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Very important.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Please bring two people that shout right now very loud
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: under the anointing. I just saw a cloud of his
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: glory and for someone the Lord is saying he's bringing.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: You into a new prophetic season. Just Help them, please.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Help them, please. Whether you're an usher or not, you
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: just help them. This is the ministry of the Spirit.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: When God does these things, it is because He's responding
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: to the hunger of His people.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I want you to be sensitive as we teach. This
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: is why you came.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Glory be to God. Glory be to God.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Glory be to God. i i i i glory be to.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: God hallelujah hallelujah glory be to god hallelujah hallelujah glory
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: be to god.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Glory be to god.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: You see, what happens when you are in the presence
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: of God is that you are immersed in the cloud
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: of his presence.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: And as you listen, it is more than an information
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: that is coming to you. The Bible says, now the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Lord is that spirit that He says and where the
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. Then he
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: says we all. So it's an experience for everyone. With
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: faces unveiled. Beholding him as in a mirror. He says
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: we are changed.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Changed.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: We are changed. This is what the Bible says. We
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: are changed. Ezekiel chapter 2 and verse 1. He says
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: son of man stand upon your feet. And I will
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: speak unto you. And he had no strength to arise.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: But still says. And the spirit entered into me. When
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: he speak unto me. Jesus was speaking. And he says
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the words that I speak unto you. It is beyond
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: a lecture. It is beyond a man just speaking English.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: When you come from the presence. You also come.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: With his presence. And when you speak. He says the
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: words that I speak. They are spirit words. And they
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: are live.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: That means beyond the things that the preacher is saying.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: The essence of his communication from the depth of the spirit.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: There is a spirit to spirit communication. While you are
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: listening to me. There are things you will hear beyond
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: what I am saying. Because it's not just your.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Ears hearing it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: There is a spirit communication. There is a spirit communication.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: And so I want you to be very very attentive.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Wherever we stop tonight, we'll pray. Don't be distracted. His
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: word is powerful. It comes to build us. Now, God
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: always has his emphasis in every season.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Please listen.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: God is not doing the same thing in all seasons.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: And there are three levels of the anointing that is
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: available in this side of God's kingdom. The first dimension
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: of the anointing is that which comes in the life
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: of a believer by reason of being grafted into Christ.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: The Bible calls it the anointing that is within.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah. That is the.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Anointing that is responsible for conformity. The inner workings of
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the spirit that produces the character of the Christ in
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the believer. There is the second level of the anointing
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: that comes upon a believer strengthening you to be a witness.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: He says, tarry ye in Jerusalem until ye be endued
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: with power from on high. But there is a third
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: level of the anointing. That does not come just because
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: you are a believer. It does not just come just
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: because you occupy an office. It comes by reason of
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: your understanding and aligning with what God is doing now.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: So it is possible that you can be a man
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: of God. It is possible you can be a businessman
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: and carry the anointing that is upon a believer. by
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: reason of our union with Christ, carry the anointing that
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: is upon you by reason of your office, and yet
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: you will find out that you are very ineffective when
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: you enter a certain season because of the inability to
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: discern and align with what God is doing. It says,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: and of the sons of Issachar, there were men who
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: had understanding of the times to know what Israel ought
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: to do. So in every season, God has... His emphasis.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: And there is a three-fold emphasis.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Please listen.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: With all due respect, if you're a man of God here,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I want you to hear me. If you want to
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: be relevant in the days that are coming, your ministry
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: must be pegged around these three things. This is what
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: God is doing now. Number one, the first emphasis of
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the Spirit is Is world evangelization. This is what God
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: is doing right now. A campaign to see that as
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: many as possible come into the experience of salvation.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: He desires that all men be saved.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: He desires that all men be saved. That means whoever
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: becomes part of these global missions, this world evangelization campaign,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: you can be sure that you have the backing, the.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Support of the Spirit. Number two, the second emphasis.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Of the Spirit in this season is the maturity of
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the saints.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: The Bible says an heir for as long as that
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: heir is a child.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: He differeth not from a slave even though he be
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Lord of all. Before now there is a lot of
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: recycling of very inferior levels of light in the church.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: So believers are not methodically mentored to attain stature and
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: maturity in the spirit. The average believer is very ignorant
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: as far as As the business of spiritual understanding and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: maturity is concerned. So we are around church. We do
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of church activities. But most believers are not
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: sound in doctrine. They are not grounded. The average believer
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: cannot stand in defense of his spiritual understanding. What do
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: you know about God? What do you know about prayer?
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: What do you know about Satan? What do you know
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: about victory? What do you know about defeat? What do
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: you know about the realm of the spirit? What do
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: you know about God's program? What do you know about
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: his economic system? What do you know about the cosmos?
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: It is this understanding that gives you stature and a
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: standing in life. So most believers, the average believer just
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: has gaps of spiritual information either learned from church or
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Or perhaps following a man of God or some teaching.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: So we have many disconnected truths that are not synergized
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: to produce stability. One of the things that the spirit
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: of God is doing, he's rearranging our understanding. He's bringing
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: us to a level of accuracy. There is a formula,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: and this is what I'm going to be teaching on.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: There is an apostolic model for the growth.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Of the believer.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: The believer was never designed to grow by chance. The
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: believer was not supposed to freelance.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Your pathway to growth. There is a predefined pathway. Are
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: we together?
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: We produce doctors today because we invented predictable pathways. So
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: anybody who subscribes to that pathway, at the end of six,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: seven years, you can call that person a medical doctor.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: An engineer. An engineer.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: You imagine, some of the people we celebrate today, once
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: upon a time, they were naive people with only a
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: passion to become what they are now. And their ability
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: to have evolved was because they submitted themselves to a
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: methodical system.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Most believers learn just by will, by passion. If you
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: are fortunate to find it in a conference, happy for you.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: If you are fortunate to find it with your pastor,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: happy for you. If you're fortunate to find it in
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: a book, happy for you. If you're fortunate to find
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: it online, you stumble across a message and it seems
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: to shed more light and take you out of a
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: level of ignorance, happy for you. The church cannot be
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: powerful that way. There has to be a defined pathway.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: And this is one of the things that I'll be
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: showing us. So number one, world evangelization. Number two, the
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: maturity of the saints. And to achieve this purpose, God
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: is not really concerned about the saints. He's concerned about
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the ministerial gifts. Because they are the ones equipped to
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: prepare the saints. Nobody will be able to raise a
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: people higher than his realm of spiritual understanding.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Are we together now?
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: So rather than God seeking to raise a thousand people.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: He would rather walk upon that one person. Who he
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: has made a shepherd over the thousand people. Because in
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: his maturity will be their maturity. In his enlightenment will
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: be their enlightenment. Everyone communicates truth from the lens of
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: his ignorance or otherwise.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Number three.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: What is the third emphasis of the spirit in this season?
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Territorial transformation. This is an aspect of the Great Commission
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: that has been neglected for a very long time. It
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: is the reason why society has frowned at our Christian
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: experience because we've not been able to capture God to
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: a context that has become profitable to society.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: The average Christian's experience is laced with all kinds of
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: fanatism without an experience that reflects God to society. In
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Matthew chapter 5, when you begin to read from verse 13,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, you are the salt of the earth.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: He says, and if the salt.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Has lost its saltiness or its sever, wherewith shall it
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: be salty again? It is good for nothing except to
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: be thrown underfoot. Trampled under fruit of men. Then he
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: says you are the light of the world. He calls
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: us a city that is set.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: On a hill that cannot be hidden.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: He says neither do men light a lamp and put
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: it under a bushel. But that they put it on
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: a candlestick and it gives light to everyone in the room.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: He leaves us with a mandate in verse 16. He
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: says permit your light to so shine. Before men, not
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: before spirits. There is a dimension of your Christian experience.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: That must reflect on society.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: So with all due respect, we have a lot of churches,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of conferences, a lot of conventions, a lot
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: of crusades, and our society continues to plunge into a
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: level of decadence.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: You see, because most.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Believers have not been mentored to understand the principles of
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: territorial transformation. The average believer only knows prayer and As
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: the tool for territorial transformation. And while that is important
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: and foundational. That is not the only key. There are
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: many aspects.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Are we together? Yes.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: There are people in scripture that the bible calls. They
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: which turn the world upside down. Their territories felt the impact.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Of their godliness. So these are the three emphasis of
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the spirit. World evangelization. The maturity of the saints. God
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: is opening, redigging ancient wells again. And bringing us to
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: levels of superior understanding. The things that we were once
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: at a loss about. The things that the fathers, the
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: things that the patriarchs knew. That granted them access to power.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: They manifested unusual possibilities. God by his spirit, through the
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: spirit of revelation. Is bringing these experiences to the church again.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: You believe that? Shout it loud. Amen. Hallelujah. So let's
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: go to our discussion tonight.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: There is an apostolic model for spiritual growth. There is
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: an apostolic model for wholesome growth and stability. It's very
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: important for us to understand. There is a way God
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: designed men to know him. And there is a way
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: God designed men to function. Let me repeat myself again.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: There is a way God designed that men would know him.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: There are many ways, many routes in the spirit as
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: far as your determination to know God is concerned.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: But there is a predefined pathway. Please listen.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: The believer is not at liberty to invent his pathway
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: to knowing God. The moment you attempt to invent your
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: way of knowing God, you will dabble into witchcraft, spiritism,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: and all kinds of extra biblical practices. There are many
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: people who sincerely began a pursuit to knowing God, but
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: they did not know that there is a predefined pathway.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: The many extra biblical variations that we have in the
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: body of Christ.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Today are a reflection, it's a report card that if
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: you do not follow the.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Path designed by God as far as knowing him is concerned,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: even if you are sincere, you will stumble across many,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: many many things.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: In the spirit that is not God.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Are we together The Bible says the spirit speaketh expressly
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: that in the later time some will depart from the
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: faith and will give heed to seducing.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Spirits and the doctrine of demons.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: If you understand anything about seduction, seduction has no power
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: over you until there is a desire in you that
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: it can connect with.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: That means if I am not hungry, the temptation over
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: food will have no power over me. So the character
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: of seduction is that Satan studies your desire and builds
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: a system of deception.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Around your desire.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: So if your desire is to know God, You can
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: go to fast, you can go to pray, but not
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: understanding that there is a way God designed men to
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: know him. You can sincerely begin that journey and find
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: out that you are encountering familiar spirits, encountering all kinds
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: of things.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: You will return back with all kinds.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Of revelations that are not consistent with the character of Christ.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: And as you begin to practice those revelations, you will
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: find out that you are becoming something else, not Christ.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Are we learning now?
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: So it is important for us to know that the
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: believer is not at liberty to choose how to know God.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: There is already a path. Jeremiah 6.16. Give it to
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: us please.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: The Bible says, Jeremiah chapter 6 and verse 16. Thus
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: saith the Lord, stand ye in the ways, and see,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: and ask for the old path.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Where is the good way?
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: It says, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: for your souls. There is a path already predefined. Predefined
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: by God. And tonight I want to show you that path.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ. When Jesus called the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: disciples who would later become apostles of the Lamb. He
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: subjected them to a model, a template. There was a
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: way he raised them. There was a way he made
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: them to evolve from fishermen to apostles. They did not
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: just become apostles just because they exhausted their time with Jesus.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: They were submitted methodically to a spiritual system.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: The early church from Acts chapter 2.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Began to evolve and grow until they had mighty men
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: within the church community.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: By following the same pathway.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: And I submit to you by the integrity of scripture.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: That any person, any church, any environment, any territory. That
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: goes back to that apostolic template. Must become a people
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: of power. Must become a people of grace. If that
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: is you, shout it loud.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: So number one, there is a way God designed men
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: to know him. There is a way God designed men
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: to function. The second thought that I wanted to have
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: tonight is that there is a model, there is a
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: template that the early church used in building believers. There
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: is a model, there is a template that the early
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: church used in building believers. It would be such a
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: risk for Jesus to leave them to their creativity.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Choose how to raise the people.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: No. They were given an exact blueprint and they used
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: it to the latter and they raised mighty men out
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: of sinners. If this model is followed, the truth is
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: that it will turn anyone to an object of wonder.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: The idea that God....
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Just decided to select a few people and manifest his
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: glory and power in their life is not scriptural. It
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: is true that there are people by reason of the
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: election of grace, are we together? Have been apportioned certain
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: superior dimensions in the spirit.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: For the sake of God's program.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: But I want you to know, and this is the
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: next point, that the believer has a destiny in Christ.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Please follow my teaching carefully. Are we together?
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: If we are together, say amen. I need to know
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: that everyone is following. There is a destiny that the
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: believer has in Christ. And I want to reveal it
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: to you. The believer's destiny in Christ, listen to me,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: the end product of all that God is doing in
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: and through you is glory. The end product. I need
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: to tell you this. When you begin to walk with God.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: The end product. What God has in mind. By the
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: time he begins to walk with any man. Is that
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: his glory be manifested through that person.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: God's ultimate desire for every believer as far as your
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: prophetic destiny is concerned is that eventually your life becomes
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: a manifestation of the glory of God.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Write that statement down.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: That your life, this is your creed. This is the destination.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Your faith adventure. Why the prayer? Why the fasting? Why
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: the word study? Why going to church on Sunday? I'm
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: revealing to you that behind every spiritual activity.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: This is what God has at the back of his mind.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: That my life and your life becomes in experience. A
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: manifestation of the glory of God.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Say my life. Please shout it.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Say, my life must become a manifestation of the glory
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: of God.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: One more time.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Say, my life must become a manifestation of.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: The glory of God. You know what the glory of
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: God is?
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: The word glory comes from the Hebrew word kabod.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: The Greek kabod.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Is doxa it means the weightiness is an attempt to
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: measure the value of a thing so when you talk
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: about the glory of a thing you have to examine
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: all the features that makes that thing expensive or makes
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: that thing desirable are we together now yes If I
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: hold your phone right now, if you are using a
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: latest phone, and I say, what is the glory of
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: this phone? You have to tell me all the features
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: that make that phone expensive or makes it unique. So
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: when the Bible says the believer should be the manifestation
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: of the glory of God, it means the believer becomes
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: a script, an explanation to.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: How mighty God is. Are we together now?
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Men do not know God because they do not have
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: the spirit of God in them.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: So you become a living epistle.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: That when you walk with God, eventually you begin to
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: become a kind of believer that becomes the most visible
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: expression of all the multifaceted dimensions that make God.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: God, his favor, his wisdom, his power, his grace.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: All of these attributes of God begin to find expression
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: through you and it will cost the nations. To acknowledge
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: him as Lord. This is the destiny of every believer.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: If you do not understand this, you cannot raise people.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: If you do not understand this, you will produce a
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: weak people. Man of God, behind the pulpits that you
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: stand in, every Sunday, every Wednesday, behind every conference such
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: as this, It's important for us to know that we
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: are in partnership with God over this agenda to be
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: able to bring the saints into.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Their prophetic destiny.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: That no matter where you meet them from, you should
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: never leave.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Them that way.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: God's desire is more than making you rich. That's too
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: small an agenda. God's desire is more than just giving
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: you a job.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: It's important but it's too small an agenda. These things
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: are called his benefits. There are six of them.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: According to Psalm 102. Bless the Lord oh my soul.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: And all that is within me bless his holy name.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: He says bless the Lord oh my soul. And forget
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: not his benefits. But don't get so distracted with the
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: benefits that you forget your destiny. The destiny of every believer.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Listen to me ladies and gentlemen. Whether you are a
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: man of God. Whether you are in business. This revelation
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: changed my life. As an individual and as a man
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: of God. Behind my raising people by the spirit. Behind
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: the things that I do. At the back of my
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: mind is that I am in partnership with God. To
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: produce this agenda. That to birth the glory of God
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: in the saints.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Are we together? Very, very important. Your prophetic destiny in Christ.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: The Bible says in Romans 8 and verse 18. It says,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: for I reckon that the sufferings of this present time
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: is not worthy to be compared with the glory that
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: shall be revealed in us. There is a glory to
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: be revealed in us. There is a glory to be
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: revealed in us. In fact the Bible says. How does
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: it put it now? It says for our light afflictions.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Which is but for a moment. It worked in us
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: a far more exceeding weight of glory. There is a
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: weight of glory. The manifestation of the power of God.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: John 15 and verse 8 says. Herein is my Father glorified.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: When you bear much fruit, so shall you be my disciples.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: John 15, 16. You have not chosen me, but I
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: have chosen you, it says. And ordained you to go
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: and bear fruit. And that your fruit will remain. Galatians
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: 1 24 profound sentence and they glorify God in me
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: God can be glorified in a man God can be
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: glorified through a man are we together now yes when
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Jesus walked upon the earth He walked as a revelation.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Of who God was and who God is.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: The invisible God that we never saw, that we did
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: not know, now had a.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Material frame, was revealed to us in the person Jesus.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: So all our suspicions and fears and doubts about God
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: were clarified when.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Jesus walked upon the earth.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: He was a manifestation of the invisible God. And just
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: like Jesus, the saints have been given the mandate to
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: follow in his steps.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: That means we are.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: To our world today a revelation of the invisible God.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: The God they cannot see. Hallelujah. Are we learning now?
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Say my destiny in Christ. Please shout it.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Say my destiny in Christ is to be a manifestation
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: of the glory of God.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: On earth. This is profound. It will change your life.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Immediately you know that beyond being a doctor. Beyond being
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: an engineer. Beyond being a preacher. Beyond being whatever career.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Whatever it is. A family person. That ultimately. Bigger than
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: all of those things. All those desires are subsets of these.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: My life must become a glory. A revelation of the
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: glory of God. That means one day someone should look
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: at your life. And say God I fear you. This
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: is what you can make out of men. One day
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: someone should look at your life. And say indeed I
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: know that there is a God in heaven.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Do you believe this? The believer has a destiny in Christ.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: And the destiny. Is that your life becomes a manifestation.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Of the glory of God. The second thing.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: That I want to tell you is that there is
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: a pathway that leads to this expectation.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: In as much as it is God's.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Desire that we become visible manifestations of his glory, there
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: is a pathway that leads to that experience. There is
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: a pathway that leads to that experience. My God, there
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: is a pathway that leads to that experience. In John
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: chapter 14 and verse 6, Jesus made a very profound statement.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: He now said, I am the way. Everyone say the way.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: I am the way. Not I have the way. Not
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: I will show you the way. He says, I am
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: the way. And the truth. And the life.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: When you really understand that statement, he was not talking
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: about three different things. He was talking about a pathway.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I am the way that leads you to truth, reality.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: And at the end of that journey, you encounter life.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. So there is
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: a pathway that leads to that.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: And it's important that you understand this pathway. Let me
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: have three gentlemen, please. Any three gentlemen, just come up.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Let me use you for an example. Anyone at all
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: in front, come.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: We have three? That's alright. My friend, you can go back, huh?
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Just these three gentlemen. Amen. Do we have one more? Okay.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: You stand here, you stand here, and you stand here.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Just face yourselves. Watch this now. Where is our third person? Come.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: You be the starting point. You can go up. Let
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: him stand where you are. I like to teach giving
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: an illustration. Now everybody watch. Please turn, just face this way. Yes.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Watch this. There are three levels. You need to understand this.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Three major levels to the believer's experience.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Number one.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: This for instance is a sinner who does not even
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: know God.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: He's never met God.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: He just came for a conference like this.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Or he came to your church as a man of God.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: But the destiny of that believer is to become like
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: this person. If you do not understand the three phases.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: That produces the glory of God.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Out of a believer.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: You will keep teaching and teaching and teaching. And people
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: will never change. The first level is called salvation. Don't
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: assume you understand what I'm saying. You just believe this.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: If you try.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: To follow the path. To the glory of God. And
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: you jump salvation. You will never get there.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah. As simple as this sounds.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: There are many many believers. Give us 1 John chapter
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: 5 please.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: 11 and 12. Salvation. So here is a gentleman. Who
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: say perhaps came to church.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: And then a great man of God after preaching made
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: an altar call. This gentleman perhaps naive in the things
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: of the spirit. Are we together now? But he made
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: that call and he came. Jesus be my savior. Be
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: my lord. Now he just began the journey. jesus is
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: called the key to the kingdom there is only one
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: key to the kingdom it's not a metallic object it's
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: not a principle it's not a law it's a person
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: jesus but when you get into the kingdom then there
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: are the keys of the kingdom are we together there
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: is only one key to the kingdom jesus said i
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: am the door so this gentleman gets saved now watch
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: what happens The moment this gentleman gets saved, for many believers,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: they think that is all. The average believer thinks his
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: destiny is just to be saved. No.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Being saved is only entrance into the kingdom experience.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: Are we together? It was never supposed to stop at
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: the initial salvation experience. Because at this point, there's a
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: lot that is not yet at work in his life. So,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: when this gentleman gets saved, watch this. He does not
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: just stay.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: In that state. A transition begins.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: The second phase after salvation is called transformation.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: Transformation.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: You need to know this for yourself and then to
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: be able to produce a qualitative believer within your territory.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: It's unfortunate that many times we leave many believers barely saved.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: I hope you know that every sinner, according to scripture,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: is called a harvest. So in the mind of God,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: every sinner is already ripe for a harvest. What do
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: you do when you harvest crops? Do you leave them
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: in the farm there? When you harvest a tomato, especially perishables,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: if you harvest tomato and leave it in the farm,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: what begins to happen?
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: This is what happens.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: So when you have a church full of people that
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: are just saved and are not changed, They will fill
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: the church and eventually all kinds of troubles, manifestations of
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: carnality begins to happen. Because they are only saved. Transformation
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: has not happened. Transformation is the name given to the
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: process that makes you become like Christ in experience.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: Transformation.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: The name given to the process that makes you become
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: like Christ in experience.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Is someone following? This is very important.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: You may have heard me say the greatest need of
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: a non-believer is salvation. Every time you see a non-believer
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: around Asaba, every time you see a non-believer around your area,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: no matter what you give the person, whether it's pocket money,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: whether it's a job, from an eternal perspective, the greatest
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: need of a non-believer is salvation.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: So if you give that person a job, if that
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: person receives a healing miracle, if that person receives lifting,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: all of those things are just consolations. But you have
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: really helped an unbeliever when you bring him to a
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: point of accepting the Lordship of Jesus. Now, the greatest
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: need of a believer that is saved is transformation.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: Are we together now? Transformation. Transformation. Transformation. Transformation.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: The process that makes you to become like Christ in experience.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Galatians chapter 4.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: And verse 19. Please give it to us. I need
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: to walk you through this path.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: My little children, Paul says, of whom I travel in
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: birth again until Christ be formed in you.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: He's speaking to believers. People who are already saved.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: But he's saying there is a formation of Christ that
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: needs to happen. The inner workings of the spirit. This
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: is what produces the fruit of the spirit. Like you
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: heard Dr. Ogweli was saying yesterday. The fruit of the
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: spirit is not something that is mechanical. You don't try
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: to have it. A fruit is a natural byproduct of
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: the maturity of a tree.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: When a tree grows well and it becomes matured, it
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: does not struggle to produce fruit. Transformation and conformity. So
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: this gentleman came to church. But he came from a
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: background of idolatry. With all kinds of lusts. And all
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: kinds of anger. All kinds of jealousy. All kinds of things.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: But he is saved truly.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: He gave his life to Christ. And then through the
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: ministry of the teaching priest. According to Jeremiah 3.15. And
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: I will give you pastors or shepherds according to my heart.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: And they will feed you, he says, with knowledge and
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: with understanding. This is the raw material that turns this
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: naive believer into a transformed believer.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: Knowledge and understanding.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: The bridge between immaturity and And to become a person
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: of stature.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Is knowledge. Understanding. Is someone learning now?
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: So with time. This our brother who started. As a
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: naive unbeliever. Full of all kinds of baggages. There is
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: the work of the spirit.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: Every Sunday. Every Wednesday.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Every message. Every prayer session. Every fasting session. Every discipleship session.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Is transiting this gentleman gradually. Eventually he will become what
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: we call a transformed believer. A transformed believer. What is
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: the difference between this man and this man? There is
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: a greater experience of the character of Christ. When you
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: look at this gentleman there is a striking difference. You
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: will almost not know again whether he's Igbo or Yoruba
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: or Hausa or European or American.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Do you know why?
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: Because the limitations connected to his territory by reason of
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: natural descent has been eroded.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: He's been brought into a new culture.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: The only person he looks like now is Christ. The
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: limitations that came with where he's coming from, the anger problems,
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, has been cut away.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: The old man has been deadened. He's been alive unto Christ.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: Are we learning?
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: But you see, when this gentle man gets here, now
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: he's learned the regiments of the things of God.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Then God lets him know that I have an assignment
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: And that this assignment is not just for you to
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: be a church member. This assignment is for you to
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: be a witness. Now that you have experienced me. You
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: need to help the world know who I am. Because
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: your destiny is to be a manifestation of my glory.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: But for that to happen. If you only go with stories.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: They will drive you away. And so you move to
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: the next level called empowerment. Are you seeing the order now?
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: So salvation is. Then transformation.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: If you try to do an empowerment for this man,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: you are only going to waste anointing and waste time.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: And this is a mistake that is made in church.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: People receiving gifts without the character of Christ. And you
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: see all the kinds of trouble that keep coming out
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: of this. Because we compromise on the pathway. Look at
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: the ratio of impartation to transformation.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Three and a half years to one day of Pentecost.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: The disciples kept crying and said, Jesus, wouldn't the anointing
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: come on us?
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: We want to walk signs and wonders. And he said, no, stay.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: I'm making you to become a certain kind of people.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: They were only anointing conscious. They wanted anointing. When they
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: saw Jesus healing the sick, they said, what manner of
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: man is this? That the winds and the waves obey him.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Give us this power too.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: And he said, no, not that way. You continue.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: At a point they became angry. They said, listen, we've
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: left everything to follow you. This back then is not,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: we thought you would just give us anointing. And that
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: mistake still happens in church today. There are people who
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: the moment they get saved, they run around with bottles
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: of oil. They run around harassing men, holding their trousers.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: I will not let you go. You need to understand
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: that the value of empowerment is when it comes upon
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: a transformed vessel. Because the oil will always assume the
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: shape of the vessel carrying it. When the vessel was small,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: it made the oil look small. What was multiplied was
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: not really the oil. The moment the vessel expanded, the
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: full potential of the oil was revealed. So there are
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: some of you right now. God is doing a work.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: You are in this phase of your Christian experience. And
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: while that is happening, the devil is deceiving you. That
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: the anointing will never come upon your life. You are
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: what kind of man of God are you? By now
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: you should.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: Have opened a church.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: By now you would have become a great man of God.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: No.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: The level of stamina it takes to represent God will
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: be gotten in this your phase of transformation. But then
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: when you are truly transformed, the.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: Next phase is empowerment. Empowerment.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: When Jesus walked with the disciples, they got to a
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: point where he told them, now you've understood the message.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: You need empowerment. Carry you in Jerusalem.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: Don't just carry stories around. You need to be able
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: to be validators, to be witnesses. Are we learning now?
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: Any believer who follows these three phases.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: Will eventually become. A mighty manifestation of the power of God.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: But the most important aspect.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: Notice. This one, salvation happens instantly. Are we learning?
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Empowerment happens instantly. The one that is not instant is transformation.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: And that is the hardest of the process. Let me
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: take it again. Salvation happens instantly. You declare the lordship
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: of Jesus in that moment. Whether you feel like it
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: or not, you are saved. When the power of God
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: came upon Elisha, in that moment, he began to walk miracles.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: But ladies and gentlemen, the hardest journey of the believer
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: is the journey from salvation to complete his process of transformation.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: In truth, we don't finish.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: But that you attain a threshold that can leave you empowered.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you what is happening in church. We
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: are shifting this equation and changing it. There are some,
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: hold my hands my friend, this is empowerment. Some of us,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: this is the equation we arranged. So people who do
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: not even know Jesus, just because there is an impartation.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: I want power, I want anointing. To what end?
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: The men in Athens were bowing down and worshipping an
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: unknown God.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: Is that in your Bible?
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: An unknown God. They were worshipping an unknown God. And
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: when Paul came, he saw them, he said, ah, I
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: perceive that you people have a.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: Lot of zeal.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: But all this worship and this service and this devotion,
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: do you know the God that you are serving? Jesus
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: told the woman at the well, he said, you worship
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: what you know not. But we worship what we know
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: for salvation is of the Jews. Tonight for someone, God
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: is rearranging it. That just because the anointing has not
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: come on your life does not mean you are following
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: the wrong path.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: You don't start with transformation. No.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: You start with salvation. There are many people who have
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: jumped that step. They started with transformation. They have never
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: truly been saved. But they've been around a church listening
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: to a man of God. And so they have a
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: semblance of decorum in their lives.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: And you will be mistaken that they are saved. They
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: are not saved.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: The Bible says, for God so loved the world, John 3, 16.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: It says that he gave his then one and only
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: begotten son that whosoever, that blessing is for whosoever. Beliefs
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: in him. Not whosoever comes around him. Whosoever believeth on him.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: Should not perish he says. But have life everlasting. Verse
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: 17 says. For God did not send his son into
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: the world. To condemn the world. But that the world
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: through him might be saved. 1st John chapter 5. Let's
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: read 11 and 12. 1st John chapter 5.
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: Please give it to us. And this is the record.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: That God had given us eternal life. And this life
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: is so structured that you must encounter his son.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Verse 12.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: It says so that he that had the son is
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: the only one who had life. And he that had
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: not the son does not have his life. Remember what
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: I'm teaching you. That the believer's destiny is to be
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: a manifestation.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: Of the glory of God. And that to achieve that,
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: there are three major phases. Watch this.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: The first phase is when you acknowledge the lordship of Christ.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: The gift that you receive here is the righteousness of God.
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: You do not earn it. It is something that comes
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: as a gift. The life of God as a gift.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: Watch this.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: We are not saved by good works. We are saved
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: by grace. But we are saved unto good works. You
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: see that now. There is nobody who can end salvation.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: For our righteousness is as filthy rags. It is important
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: that as we help believers, we do not just start
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: telling them, you don't pray and fast to be saved.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: You don't study the Bible to be saved. No, you
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: believe in Jesus to be saved. When you are now saved,
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: there are many things that happen to you when you
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: are saved that were not in you when you were
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: not saved.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: For instance, the anointing.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: That is within, that comes by the Spirit, that is
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: the anointing that makes you alive, desiring you, desiring God,
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: placing the love of Jesus in your heart. Now that
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: you have that measure of grace, Are you seeing that now?
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: The teaching priest in partnership with the word of God
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: now leads you to a point of salvation, of transformation.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: You now begin to submit.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: Yourself to transformation.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: And as you are transformed, eventually you will find out
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: that you are becoming a certain kind of mysterious believer.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: And then a moment will come, you will encounter the
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: power of the Holy Ghost. At that point, you have
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: become a living epistle. God can show you to your
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: world and you become a sign and a wonder. And
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: men look at you and marvel and say, what kind
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: of preacher are you? What kind of businessman are you?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: And if the person is interested, you can pass the
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: person through the same phase. Are you seeing that it's
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: not an exclusive result for some preachers.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: Everyone who passes through this phase. Salvation. Transformation. Empowerment. Salvation. Transformation. Empowerment.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: That is the apostolic model. That was used by Jesus.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: To train the disciples. And that was the model that
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: they used to raise mighty men.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: From the early church. Salvation. Salvation. Transformation. Empowerment.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: The greatest need of an unbeliever, ladies and gentlemen, every
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: unbeliever in Asaba, no matter what you do to them,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: if you do not bring them to the saving.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: Knowledge of Jesus, you really did not help them.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: The greatest need of a saved believer is not to
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: remain a baby. But by the ministry of the teaching priest.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: By the ministry of the word. By the ministry of
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: the spirit. In partnership with all the spiritual exercises of
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: fellowship and prayer. According to Acts chapter 2 and verse 42.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and in fellowship.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: In breaking of bread and in prayer. That was the model.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: Acts chapter 6 and verse 4. But we will give
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: Now that person submits to this process of transformation. And
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: then when you are transformed, you can now begin to
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: experience measures of God's power. And even that empowerment does
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: not just come, it is not all the anointing you
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: need in.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: Your life that comes at once. It comes in measures.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: According to Ezekiel 47, it comes in measures. And that
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: measure is controlled by number one, the predetermined counsel of God.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: Number two, your level of faithfulness in using that which
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: he has given you. And number three, your yieldedness to
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: receive more. These are the factors that govern the multiplication
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: of the anointing. I'm saying that because in the name
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: of Jesus, there is someone who came for this conference.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: You may have started just with salvation, but the Spirit
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: of God has taken.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: You through transformation to a measure.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: And now you came for this conference because there is
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: such an anointing. There is a mighty grace that is
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: going to rest upon you.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: And it will turn you to become a sign and
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: a wonder.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: There are pastors that are transformed sincerely. The missing ingredient
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: in your ministry is empowerment. Just because oil came on
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: your head does not mean you are anointed. Oil does
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: not anoint. The oil has to be anointed itself to anoint.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: God does not hide his power in oil or mediums.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: His power is hidden in his word. His power is
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: hidden in men. It is men that anoint the mediums
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: to be points of contact.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: Are we together? Let's celebrate these gentlemen. God bless you. Please.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: If we are together, say amen.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: I want you whilst you are seated to lay your
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: hands on your head and now begin to cry unto
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: God in one minute before we continue. Father, I desire,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: you know what face you are in right now. For some,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: you are not even saved. I'll be giving you an
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: opportunity before the service is done. For some, you are saved,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: but the truth is that there is bankruptcy of growth.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: You have been around the things of church, but not
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: around the things of God. There is a cry for transformation.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and pray. And there are others in all fairness.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: You have tasted of the transforming power of the spirit.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: But your witness is not effective.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: Because you need to be empowered.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: You need to be empowered. You have padded in this conference.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: Because the anointing for your destiny has been looking for you.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: Oh and may it find you tonight. May it find
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: you tonight. May it find you. That anointing that makes
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: you a prophet indeed. That anointing that makes you an
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: apostle indeed. That anointing that makes you a businessman indeed.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: May it find you. May it find you. In the
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus Christ.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: Now, yesterday I understand Dr. Obueli began to talk to
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: you about the knowledge of God and he shared a
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: few things and I just want to add a few
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: things and then we'll pray. It is important to know,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: listen carefully, I wrote here, the richest man And the
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: full potential of the life.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: Of God is released only when we know God.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: The riches and the full potential of the life of God.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: Is only released when we know God.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: That means this Zoe life, when the believer receives this life,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: watch this now. The life of God is a compendium
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: of limitless possibilities.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: But that the potentials in that life that you.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: Have received is only released to your world to the
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: degree to which you know God. Daniel chapter 11 and
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: verse 32. The B part says, but the people that
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: do know their God. Two things will happen to them.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: Number one, capacity. They shall be strong. Number two, they
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: shall do exploits. Not talk exploits. Not wish exploits. Not
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: explain exploits. Not just write books about exploits. They shall
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: do exploits.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: John 17 and verse 3. Jesus is praying now. And
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: he says, and this is life eternal. That they may
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: know thee, the only true God. Are you seeing that now?
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: That the administration of eternal life is beyond just confessing
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. That opens you up to the potential of
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: that life. But the experience of eternal life is a
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: product of knowledge. That the deeper your knowledge of God,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: the more the reality of this life you have received
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: is made manifest through you.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: You believe that? Say Amen.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: This is life eternal that they may know thee the
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: only true God and Jesus whom.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: Thou hast sent.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: In fact, the Bible says according as his divine power.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: It says grace and peace be multiplied unto you through
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: the knowledge, not of it, the knowledge of him. So
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: grace and peace is multiplied to the degree to which
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: you know him.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: You know him.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: The more you know him, the more you see grace.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: The more you see peace. The more you know him,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: the more you see grace. That means the difference between
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: any two believers is not the love of God.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: It's the depth of their knowledge of God.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: That has translated to the power that they command in
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: their world.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: Did you get that now?
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: Someone can tell the sick, be healed. You can speak
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: over someone's destiny. Let doors be opened. And you find
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: out that nothing happens.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: It's not that you are sick.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: It's just that you do not know God enough to
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: have drawn the kind of strength required to produce that.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: Are we together? There is a reward for every encounter
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: with God. It's like money.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: If I have 10,000, can I buy a house? No,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: but do I have money? Yes, but not enough for
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: that kind of possibility. So if I stand to buy
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: a house and I bring out 10,000, the owner of
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: the house or whoever is selling to say, this is
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: too small. There are many of us. It's not like
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: you are not anointed, but the capacity of God you.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: Need to make you reveal him to your world. You
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: don't have it yet.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: So you stand before cases that are higher than your
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: knowledge of God.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: And you say in the name of Jesus, let your
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: destiny be open. And destiny is not open.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: Because every time you know God, there is a weight
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: you carry in the spirit. And the realm of the
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: spirit acknowledges it. He said, Jesus I know. Paul I know.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: This is what differentiates man in the spirit. The depth
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: of their knowledge of God. But I know whom I
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: have believed. And I am persuaded, he says. Is someone
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: learning now? This is the difference between any two preachers,
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: believe me. This is the difference between any two kingdom
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: business men. The depth of their knowledge of God. There
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: is someone who can find something about God. The patriarchs
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: found something about God. And it brought them. They were
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: not even praying for power. When Moses.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: Watch this. When Moses had an encounter with the glory
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: of God.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: He never prayed that his face would shine. He never
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: prayed for certain levels of wisdom. It was a byproduct.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: It is impossible.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: To meet and know the God of the Bible.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: And then remain the same. The people that do know
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: their God. The preachers that do know their God. The
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: apostles that do know their God.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: Are we together? The realm of the spirit.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: Has a very clear, unambiguous understanding of everyone's level of
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: the knowledge of God. Because you see, the Bible tells
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: us God is many things like you'll be learning shortly.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: I hope we're working together. It says God is light.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: That means every time you encounter God, how they know
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: in the spirit is that your illumination increases. When Jesus transfigured,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: he showed us his spirit man, the brightness of light.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: So every time I encounter.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: God, you grow in the spirit, not just by measuring
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: chronological age. Your growth in the spirit is measured by
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: the depth of light that is emitted from your spirit man,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: which is a product of the depth of your encounter
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: with God. This is even how you can know the
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: ranking of angels. By the lights that they emit. Which
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: is a product of how many times they have the
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: privilege of encountering God themselves. Is someone learning? So when
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: I encounter God as a man of God.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: There is a.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: Level of light, weight and stature that I command in
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: the spirit. That translates to the level of empowerment that
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: rests upon my life. Let's talk a bit about knowing God.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: This is where I'll wrap up for tonight.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: Are you learning?
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: Now the truth is that according to Isaiah 40 and
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: verse 28. The Bible lets us know that God is
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: limited and God is infinite. When we talk about the
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: subject of knowing God, it said, has thou not known?
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: Has thou not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: creator of the ends of the earth.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: Watch this.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: He fainted not, neither is he weary. Then he says,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: there is no searching of his understanding. You know what
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: that means? In our quest to know God, even through eternity,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: we will never exhaust him. So he's already given you
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: an information from the start. That as you seek to
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: know God, prepare to make it an eternal journey. There
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: is no arrival. That you will never get to a
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: point where you can quantize all of God and say,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: this is God.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: That was the mistake of Lucifer.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: He thought that all of God that he saw was
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: all that there was to God. And he said, if
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: this is all that God has, then I can be God.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: I can exalt myself.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: Like the most high.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: Only for him to find out that there are many
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: dimensions in God that he did not know.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: Are we together now?
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: The songwriter says, the more I know you, the more
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: I want to know you.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: How true.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: When you encounter God, you will see that there are
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: many layers to God.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: Now, so have this at the back of your mind.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: The second thing I want you to know, which is
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: very important, is one of the major reasons why God
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: is unfathomable is because of three attributes.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: Of God that he did not share with man.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: When the Bible calls us partakers of his divine nature,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: it is not every part of his divine nature we got.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: There are aspects of his divine nature that he did
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: not share with man. Number one, his omnipresence. He did
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: not share it with man. Man does not have omnipresence.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: Number two, his omnipotence, the ability to be all powerful.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: Man is not all powerful. We are not almighty. Our
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: power is derived from our union with him. Outside of
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: our union with him, we do not have power.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: And then man is omnipresent, not omnipresent, not omnipotent, not omniscient, all-knowing.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: Paul already educated us that we see in part and
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: we prophesy in part. That means the best of us
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: is still limited in understanding. It is because of these
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: three attributes. These are the attributes that brands God in
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: a class all by himself. This one he did not
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: share with man. omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: Is someone learning now?
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: So as we explore God, we are limited because we
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: are not omnipresent, we are not omnipotent, we are not omniscient.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: But then the Lord gives us an opportunity to be
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: able to discover layers, layers of the knowledge of him.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: So as far as our work on earth is concerned,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: There are three dimensions to knowing God. And this is
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: what I want to give you tonight. I believe that
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: this is one of the things that Dr. David Ogweli
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: was attempting to bring yesterday. If you understand these three dimensions,
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: you will know God rich enough to be a sign
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: and a wonder on earth. Not rich enough to exhaust
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: your passion for God, but rich enough to be a
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: believer with.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: The command of power and stature indeed. Are we together?
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: I receive, I manifest your power and your wisdom till
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: the nations see Jesus lifted up. You are exalted. I receive,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: I manifest Your power and your wisdom till the nations
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: see Jesus lifted up, glorified. I receive, I manifest your
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: power and your wisdom till my nations see See Jesus
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: lifted up, exalted.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: I receive, I manifest.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: Your power and your wisdom till the nations see Jesus
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: lifted up, This song for someone will be your testimony.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: It will become the anthem of your life. That when
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: men see you, they will truly see the manifestation of
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: the glory of God. They will marvel and say, can
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: God make this kind of a man? Can God make
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: this kind of a pastor? Can God make this kind
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: of a prophet? From what breed have you come? These
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: are men who have been forged out of the furnace
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: of affliction. Men of power and men of might. That
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: men will look at you and you'll look like you're
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: a god upon the earth. You will tame life like
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: an animal. Because you have sustained power.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: In the spirit.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: He said, leave me for the day breaketh.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: And he said, I will not let you go. I
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: will not let you go. Unless you bless me and say,
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: what is your name? He said, I am Jacob.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: He said, thou shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: For as a prince, you have had power with God
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: and you have prevailed. He touched the whole of his
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: time and blessed him. The Bible says the sun arose
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: and he called the place Peniel. For I have seen
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: God face to face. There are people who will rise
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: from this conference tonight, this night. You are seated, but
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: you don't know what is already happening in your spirit, man.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: My goodness.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: There are prophets that will rise. There are devourers that
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: will rise. There are catering coolmans that will rise. It
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: is time to not just talk about history. That your
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: altars in Asapa will be burning fire.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: Flames of fire. Flames of fire.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: You go to church on Sunday. And no devil can stand.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: It's not just by acting and playing games.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: You have become custodians of the things of the spirit.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: God can trust you with the destinies of men. You
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: have access authority in the spirit. Receive.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: Receive Manifest His power His wisdom Receive Manifest His power
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: His wisdom.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: Listen. Can I tell you? Many people talk about wealth
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: and prosperity.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: And this is one of the things that has distracted
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: people from loving Jesus. You have not experienced prosperity yet.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: Until you walk this path with the spirit. You will
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: lay up gold as dust. And it will be as
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: if you went to meet a herbalist. You believe me.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: Most of the people who move around is because they
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: do not know God. When God walks with you. When
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: he is done with you. Look at what he did
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: with Solomon.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: Sit down. Let me give you this.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: We have to wrap up. I want you to write
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: like your destiny depends on it. Is it possible to
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: know God?
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: Yes. God again.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: In the quest to make us know him. Because knowing
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: him is connected to our accessing power. Is connected to
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: our faith working. Is connected to our doing exploits in
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: our world. There are three dimensions to knowing God. And
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: this will wrap up my teaching tonight.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: Are you ready?
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: The first dimension in your quest to know God. Is
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: that you must understand and know his nature.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: And his character.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: This is the first dimension. Whilst God is infinite, there
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: is no searching of the vastness of his person. He
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: has fragmented himself into three principal dimensions for our learning.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: That every believer in.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: This side of God's kingdom who desires to know God,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: he's taking away the vagueness. You can methodically, he says,
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: let him.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: That glory at glory.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: In peace that he understandeth and knoweth me. Man can
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: know God. The first dimension to the knowledge of God
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: is the knowledge of his nature and his character.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: Please write.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: The Bible is filled with experiences where God revealed his character.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: In Exodus chapter 33, 18 and 19. We have to
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: be fast about this. Exodus 33, 18 and 19.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: It was Moses who prayed a very sincere prayer in
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: The previous chapters before 18 he said show me your way.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: Then when we get to verse 18 he says I
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: beseech thee show me your glory. How did God answer
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: that prayer verse 19? He says I will make my goodness.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: Everybody say goodness. The goodness of God is an aspect
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: of his glory. Do you know that this was the
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: formula that was given to the nation of Israel? That
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: every time their enemies came and it was sure that
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: defeat was imminent. There was a chance that they made
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: in the spirit. You are good and your mercy endures forever.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: They invoked his goodness and his mercy. And it's like
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: two ingredients that when it lands upon the earth, victory
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: must come.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: Even to the undeserving. The goodness of God.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: In Isaiah chapter 40, 28 to 30. Isaiah 40, 28
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: to 30. Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: the everlasting God?
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: Watch this now. The creator of the ends of the earth.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: He fainted not.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: This is giving you an understanding of the character of God.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: He is not weary.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: These things that are common with men do not happen
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: with God.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: There is no searching of his understanding. 29.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: He giveth power to the faint and to them that
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: have no mighty increased strength.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 3: 30.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: Even the youth shall faint and be weary and the
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: young men shall utterly fall.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: 31. Let's try the next verse.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: But they that wait upon the Lord, they shall renew
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: their strength.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: Are you seeing now?
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: God gives strength to people who are weary because he
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: himself does not get weary. These are the things you
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: need to know about God. The nature of God. The
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: attributes of God. I think one of the most concise
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: descriptions of God's nature was as revealed by the psalmist.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: When you read the entire text of Psalm 103, it
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: is a profound revelation. The most concise capture of.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: The various attributes of God.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: within me, bless His holy name.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: Bless the Lord, oh my soul, verse 2. Let's run.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: And forget not his benefits. And he lists six of
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: those benefits. Number one, verse 3. Who forgiveth your iniquity?
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: Who healed all your diseases.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: Verse 4.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: Who redeemed your life from destruction. Who crowned thee with
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: loving kindness and tender mercies. Who satisfied your mouth with
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: good things. So that your youth is renewed.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: Like the eagles. Then when you read verse 3.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: It says the Lord executed righteousness and judgment for all
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: that are oppressed. So you can learn God by his character.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: You can learn God by the attributes, the things that
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: he's doing. He made known his ways to Moses. He's
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: asked to the children of Israel. The Lord is merciful.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: Say merciful. The Lord is gracious. Say gracious. The Lord
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: is slow to anger. So if you come and meet
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: me and say, Apostle, God is mad at you. And
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: he says you will die tomorrow. I respect your prophecy.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: But my understanding of the character of God. That God
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: is slow to anger. There is enough time for me
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: and God to do a discussion. There is enough time
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: for me to repent. Provided I am alive. The understanding
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: of the nature of God takes away fear. I judge
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: prophecy by the knowledge of the nature of God. Is
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: someone learning now? This is what gives you stability and
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: maturity in the spirit. If you do not know God,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: men who aren't in his stead can mislead you. When
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: the prophet came and met Hezekiah, he said, Hezekiah, I
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: brought you a word from the Lord. Put your house together,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: you will not recover from this sickness. He said, I
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: respect you. I know you are a great prophet, but
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: leave me on God. There is something I know about him.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: He turned his face and said, God, remember, I know
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: that you are a merciful God and you tied your
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: mercy to time so that every morning it is renewed
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: like time.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: Where did you keep the mercy? And God said, suddenly. Oh,
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: that was what blind Bartimaeus knew.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: He said, thou son of David, if it is true
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: you are the son of David, if it is true.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: You are God, then mercy is connected to you. Have
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: mercy on me. Is someone learning now? When you know God,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: fear leaves. Truly it does. The character of God.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: God is not just a judgmental God waiting to destroy everybody.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: The Bible says he knows our frame. He understands that
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: we are weak. There is a healthy system of accommodation
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: for our weakness in the economy of God with men.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: He knows.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: That's why the psalmist can go back to God and
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: say in sin and iniquity did my mother conceive me?
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: Creating me a clean heart, he says, and.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: Renew a right spirit from within me.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: Do you know God that much? Do you know God
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: that much?
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: It is inconsistent with God's ways to judge you for
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: the mistakes of others. The mistakes of your father and
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: your father's father.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: You see that?
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: There is a law that transgenerational iniquity can have an
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: effect on people. But you see, when Jesus came, he
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: revealed that that is not God's best plan. It is
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: based on that knowledge you can cast that thing and say,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: whatever happened with my father, I don't have to be
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: a victim. There is something about the nature of God
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: that can bring me out of that. Who's seen that
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: this man was born? Was it him or his father?
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, neither. But this has happened that the glory
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: of God will be revealed. When you say you are
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: a matured Christian, It's not just because of the time
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: you have spent in church. These are the things that
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: frame your spiritual stamina.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: You see that?
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: So when you say, Apostle, God does not like you.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: You'll become a prayer request for me. I pray for
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: you that God will bring you to a higher level
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: of understanding. If God says he's going to bless 100
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: people here, I begin to pray for the remaining 99.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: Because one position is taken already. It says, I have
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: loved you with an everlasting love. Everlasting love. And with
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: my loving. Except you are not a Christian. You have
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: to believe this. The world will bully you out of
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: your confidence. If you do not know God. We live
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: in a world today. Where based on where you come from.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: Who your father is or is not. The social media
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: has their own system. Of bullying you out of your confidence.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: Complex will destroy you as a man of God. You
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: will travel across the globe. And people will look at you.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: And they will call you by all kinds of names.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: But not when you know him. Not when you know him.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: The greatest status any man can have on earth is
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: to be the son of God. It is a very
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: superior status. I may never have a chance to be
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: called barista. I may never have a chance to be
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: called president of a nation. I may never have a
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: chance to be called the ambassador.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: Of a nation.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: I may not have any chance to be called his
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: royal highness. But there is a status that is greater
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: and higher than.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: Any sons of God.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: It says, now are we the sons of God and
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: it does not yet appear what we shall be like.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: But the greatest revelation of the nature of God is
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: found in 1 John.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: 4, 7 to 12. Let's read together.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: Beloved, it says, let us love one another for love
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: is of God.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: Watch this.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: And everyone that loveth is born of God and knoweth God.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: And does what?
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: So the ultimate measure of your knowledge of God is
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: your love life, not enlightenment. The zenith of your transformation
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: is the health of your love life, not the level
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: of your spiritual illumination. There are many people who have
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: access to mysteries, but their love life is dead.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: Verse 8.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: He that loveth not knoweth not God.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: Read it. He that loveth not knoweth not God. Why?
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: For God is love. It's as simple as that.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: So you love God but you hate the brethren. Something
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: is wrong with that orientation. The Bible says that the
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: knowledge of God at its zenith connects you to his love.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: That means the more I know God, the more I
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: grow in the things of God, the more I find
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: myself loving him and loving his creation.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: There are men of God who only use their members.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: They do not love them. There are politicians who only
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: use their people.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: They do not love them. Do not tell me you
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: know God. I will test your love life. There are
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: people who wish the downfall of others. Wish the destruction
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: of churches. Wish the destruction of other people within the body. No.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: If you love Jesus Christ. It is not in the
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: Greek and the Hebrew and the Rima and whatever. The
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: Bible says. He that does not love God. Does not
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: know God. Your love life must be affected.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: This is true.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: How do I know you are growing in the spirit?
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: I don't just look at his power. The highest index
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: for measuring love. Greater than every other thing. The Bible
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: begins to describe the qualities of love in 1 Corinthians 13.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: And it talks about all of those things. Love is patient.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: Love is kind. Love is humble. Are you seeing now?
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: So when the Bible lists the nine gifts of the Spirit,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: it's actually one manifestation, love, expressed in those dimensions.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: Because he gives us perspective in 1 Corinthians 13.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: He says love is kind. So when he says the
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, no. He
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: says from love comes all these expressions. More love. More power.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: More of you in my life. More love. More power.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: More of you in my life.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: I want you to live with this revelation. God is love.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: That means the more of God I am becoming, the
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: more of love. This is why I love my name.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: Do you know that's the meaning of my name? Selman
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: means a way to love. What a good name. What
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: a good name.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: How do you carry such a name and hate people? No.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: I love Jesus with all my heart. And believe me,
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: I love his people with all my heart. That is
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: why I would not manipulate them. That is why I
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: would not use them for gain. I love them too much.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: I would not come and lie and deceive them and
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: play games with them. Instead of telling people, stop stealing,
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: stop doing all of these things, just bring people to
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: the revelation.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: Of the love of God.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: And there are things that when the love of God
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: is at work in you, it becomes evil to do
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: to men.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: Are we together? Yes.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: So I will not come and manipulate you and just
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: prophesy and say, bring out all your money and give me.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong in giving. Don't get me wrong.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: But from a standpoint of manipulation, you do not love God.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: I don't care what tongues you are speaking.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: You do not love God.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: In all your prayer, you must pray that the love
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: of God in a higher dimension be shed abroad your
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: heart by.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: The Holy Ghost.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: Because when you love the Lord, do you know, I
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: can stay all night. If this were all night, I
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: would have taught you something about the nature of love.
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: There are certain realms that only lovers get to. Even
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: prayer warriors cannot get there. Even fasting giants cannot get there.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: If you actually touch that rem in the spirit, it's
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: a love affair. The Bible says, no eye has seen.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: Is that in your Bible?
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: No ear has heard. Neither has it come into the
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: heart of man. What God has in store, not for everybody,
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: for them that love him. There is a level that
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: you love the Lord to a point where you earn
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: another status in the spirit called the friend of God.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: Not everyone is a friend of God.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: And when you attain that status in the spirit, part
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: of the privileges that you enjoy is God will never
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: do anything in a territory, in a dispensation and not
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: tell you.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: Shall I hide this from my friend Abraham? Are we learning?
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: The nature and the character of God.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: The result of this is confidence and freedom from fear.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: Not freedom to live carelessly, not freedom to be licentious,
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: but freedom that he loves me and I'm aware that
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: he loves me. I'm aware that God loves me. My goodness,
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: if you are looking for a man who is loved
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: by God, jealously loved, this is one man standing before you.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I know he loves me. Listen,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: in marriage, the confidence of every bride, among other factors,
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: is principally derived from the awareness.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: Of the love of her husband towards her. Women, am
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: I right on that?
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: That when a woman is aware that her husband loves
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: her so jealously, there is a level of whether she's
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: good enough or not, whether she speaks well enough or not,
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: whether she's educated or not, the greatest person whose.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: Love matters to her in the earth is her husband.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: So if you as the bride of Christ, when you
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: come into that knowledge of the depth of the love
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: of that your husband, because everybody is a bride in
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: the spirit, male or female, you are called the bride
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: of Christ. And the Bible says jealousy is the rage
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: of a man. You want to see how powerful a
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: man is? Touch the wife he loves. Not the wife
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: he married.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: The wife he loves.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: So it is this awareness of God's love that gives
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: me the confidence to know that yea, though I walk
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: through the valley of the shadow of death, For me,
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: it's not a Bible recitation.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: It's been motivated by an awareness of God's love for me.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: I shall fear no evil, for thou art with me,
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: it says.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: There are times that as I travel around the world,
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: God granted me that grace. Sometimes, truly speaking, people can
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: send me text messages and say, Apostle, please, I just
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: had a vision. I saw you in a gasoline motor accident.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: I saw something happening to you. Sometimes people reach me
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: and say, Apostle, I want you to pray. I just
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: saw that your name was.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: Taken to a shrine.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: And these are genuine people. They are not just people
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: talking nonsense. These are people who have a track record
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: with God. I know they are not lying. But every
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: time I want to fear, love does not give me
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: a chance to fear. The confidence that I have, is
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: it not in your Bible that he suffered no man
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: to do them wrong? He reproved kings for their sake, saying,
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: The consciousness of his character, his nature. It's been so
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: engraved in my heart. It says, all that you have
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: given me, I have kept and none is lost. When
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: you give Jesus anything, including your life, he's a keeper.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: He keeps faith fully. But I know whom I have believed.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: And I am persuaded that he's able to keep faith.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: That which is committed, he only keeps that which is committed.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: I've handed over my life to him already. I don't
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: intend to take it back. What then is the basis
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: of my fear? In fact, for me, to live is Christ.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: And even if I die, it is still gain. I
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: have cheated life already from both ends. when I pray
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: for longevity is not out of here my eternity.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: Is secured already it's only.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: That I need time because of the program of God
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: as an expression of my love for him for giving
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: his all when I pray for longevity is not from
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: a standpoint of fear I have been secured in his
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: love already The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: The love of God. And the koinonia.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: The sharing together. The participation. The fellowship of the spirit.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: Paul said let it remain with you. Let the consciousness
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 2: Let the consciousness of the love of God. And the sharing.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: The participation.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: You have come into oneness with the spirit. He says
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: let it dwell with you. Can I give you number two?
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: What time do I have? We have to wrap up
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: so that we'll come back.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: I think I should just stop here. I will give
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: you the remaining two. You are not afraid of going
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: home late again. What suddenly happened to you?
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: Take it down for me.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: Oh God, you are my God.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: And I will ever praise you. Oh God, you are
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: my God and I will ever love you.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: Oh God, you are my God.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: And I will.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: Ever follow you. I have sought you in.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: The morning And I have learned to.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: Walk in your ways Step by step you lead me
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: And I will follow you all of.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 2: My days Step by step.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: You lead me And I will follow you all.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 2: Of my days Step by step he'll lead you.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: And you will follow him all of your days.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: He can lead you out of this generational causes. He
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: can lead you out of the things that kept your
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: father down. You watch your father sincere but he went down.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: Your mother went down. You watch preachers around your community
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: go down. If you can follow this good shepherd, he
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: can lead you. He can lead you.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: Believe me.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: Step by step, he leads me. And I will follow
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: you all of my days. I refuse to be confused
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: about life and destiny. The one I gave my life
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: to is a good shepherd.
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 2: He does not abandon his sheep. Even if it is
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: in the night.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: The Bible says wild shepherds watch their flocks even by night.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: He does not just take care of you in the
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: day when times are good. Even by night when you
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: are confused.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: The good shepherd is still there, watching his flock by night. Preacher,
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: hear me.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: There is a way out of this ministerial calamity. There
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: is a way out of this financial crisis. Businessman, hear me,
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: you are in debt, but there is something about God
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: you need to know. Going around just to keep collecting
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: loan will compound your problems, believe me.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: There is a way out. There is a way out.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: Jesus said, I.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: Am the way. I am the door. The door is
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: the authorized access to any realm. The door is the
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: authorized access to any dimension. To the dimension of wealth
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: is the door. Dimension of ministerial exploit is the door.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: Oh God, you are my God.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: And I will ever praise you. Oh God, you are
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: my God. And I will ever love you. I will
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: seek you in the morning. I have learned to walk
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: in your ways. Step by step you lead me. And
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: I will follow you all of my days.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 2: Listen. Jesus said, come unto me all ye that are
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 2: weary and heavy laden. He says, I will give you rest.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 2: That is his nature.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: He gives men rest. You cannot come to him and
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: he leaves your life in trouble. Even if your boat
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: is as boy's terrace. When he comes, he brings shalom, peace,
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: calm to your life. I will be still and know
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: you are God. My soul be still and know you
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: are God.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 2: I will be.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: Still and know you are God. My soul be still
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: and know you are God. I just sang my life
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: for you. When I found the nature of God, it
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: gave me rest. God is mighty if he speaks.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 2: It is final.
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: It is not just final because he is God. It
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: is final because he is the only God.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: I was teaching last week in Port Harcourt, I think
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 2: And one of the things I.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: Taught the people is that God Does not have authority...
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: God only gives authority... God cannot have authority... Because the
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: nature of authority... Is that someone higher than you... Must
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: give you... And there is no one higher than him...
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: He has all power... But not authority... If God has authority...
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: There are three things that happen... The moment authority.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 2: Comes to you... One.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: You must acknowledge an authority higher than you... A person
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: higher than you.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: there is jurisdiction.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: Because with authority comes limitation. So when you say God
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: has authority, then you need to tell us the jurisdiction
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: of his power and who owns the rest.
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: Jesus only had authority when he became a man and
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: submitted to God. But as God, he has all power
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: and no authority. It is men that have both power
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: and and authority. Because authority is the legitimacy to use power.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: If you have.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: Power alone, your use of it is illegal. You must
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: have authority to be allowed to use power. So if
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: an armed robber has a gun, he has power, but
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: no authority. If a military man holds a gun, he
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: has power and authority. That's why he does not go
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: to jail for shooting. Demons have power, but they do
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: not have authority. Only the believer was given both power
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: and authority.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 1: So every time you stand to question Satan, don't question power.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: Question authority. Question authority. Question authority. I have to stop here.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow we'll take the two other attributes of God and
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 2: then we'll connect it to your theme.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: Because you see, you cannot desire that doors be open
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: if you do not even know the one who holds
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: the key of David. There is a mystery called the
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: key of David. That is the key that opens a
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: door that men cannot shut. He says, I am he
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: that was dead And now he's alive.
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 2: And I hold the keys. You know what that keys are?
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: That when he opens a door, there are doors that
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: when men open, men can shut. But when the holder
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: of the key of David opens that door, he says
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: no man can shut it.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: When he opened the prison door, no man could shut it. Hallelujah.
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: Yes. There are doors that men open And men can
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: choose to shut it.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: But there are doors that when he opens, it remains.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: Rise up on your feet. We are going to pray.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 2: I want to encourage you. Do not miss any part
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: of the sessions that are left.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: Because this is a build up of a thorough spiritual understanding.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 2: It will cost you to be a person of stature.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: We have examined the apostolic model for growth, for stature
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: in the spirit.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 2: To have power with God.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: And I've revealed to you through that just one of
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: the dimensions to knowing God.
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 2: His character and his nature.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: I want you to turn it into prayer before i
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: speak over your life and say father take away fear
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: from my life take away uncertainty from my life reveal
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: yourself to me reveal your character.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 2: Afresh to me go ahead and pray someone is praying
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 2: Someone is praying. Go ahead and pray. Breathe, Lord. Breathe. Breathe, Lord. Breathe.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 2: Breathe upon my life. Will you breathe, Lord? Breathe. Breathe, Lord. Breathe.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: Breathe upon my life. You're praying now.
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: Breathe, Lord. Breathe. Breathe, Lord, breathe.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: Breathe upon my life. I receive, I manifest your power
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 1: and your wisdom. Till the nations see Jesus lifted up, exalted.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: I receive, I manifest.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 2: Your power and your.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: Wisdom till the nations see Jesus lifted up, glorified.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 2: So breathe, Lord, breathe, breathe, Lord. upon my life. Breathe, Lord, breathe. Breathe, Lord, breathe.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: Breathe upon my life. Till the nations see Jesus lifted up, exalted.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 2: Till the nations.
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: Glorify the result of knowing God's nature and character is
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: confidence and security confidence when you stand before the sick
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 1: when you stand as a prophet and say things that
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: have not happened and your life is at stake it
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: is because you know who sent you If you do
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: not know him, don't stand before Pharaoh.
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 2: You will make a fool of yourself. Moses said, who
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 2: shall I tell him has sent me? And he said,
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: I am that I am.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: We stand bold before the nations to declare his counsel.
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: We stand before the powers of darkness and we announce
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 1: the exodus of.
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 2: God's people upon the understanding of his nature.
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 1: It is not because we are extraordinary in ourselves. But
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: we have found his integrity. Embedded in his character. That
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: God is not a man that he should lie. Nor
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: the son of man.
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 2: That he should repent.
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: That he is all powerful. And he is full of love.
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: And by this understanding. Everything that has kept you in fear.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 2: Hear me.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: Everything that has kept you limited. Everything that has refused
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: to allow the God life. The reality of the life
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: and the power of the Christ to be made manifest.
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 2: In your life.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: I command it to give way now. In the name
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ. There are many of us, listen. These
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: kinds of apostolic conferences. should happen more frequently around the southeast.
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 2: Do you know why?
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: Because there will be men and women who can believe
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 1: God to know that he has given them a mandate
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: and the fear of money, the fear of whether people
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: will come dies when you know God. None of you
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: signed a paper to tell Pastor Ike that you will
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: come here. It took his knowledge of God that built
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: faith in him to be able to put this. There
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: are no guarantees in life. Your guarantee is God, not men.
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: Men are very emotional.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 2: They vacillate.
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: They can promise you today and disappoint you tomorrow. But
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: those who trust in the Lord. The Bible says they
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: are like Mount Zion. That can never be shaken but
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: that it abided forever.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 2: Can I speak over your life? Father in the name
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 2: of Jesus.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: The grace that brings men into prophetic encounters.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 2: I came to release that grace.
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: It's one of the graces that I came to release
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: upon someone. Because you need to have a very deep
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: encounter with God. There are two more dimensions and I
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: will show you tomorrow. But in the name of Jesus,
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: I pray for you from the depth of my heart.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: Let that anointing, let that increase it. That draws men
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: into the holy of holies. Into the secret place. He said,
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: blessed is the man whom God causes to approach him.
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 2: Like he did Moses.
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: He prohibited the nation of Israel, but he asked Moses
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: to come. And now by the blood, he's open to
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: us that new and living way. Therefore, I decree and declare.
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: Have supernatural encounters of the God kind. Some of you,
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: you go to bed tonight, you will have angelic visitations.
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 2: Visitations of the Spirit.
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: The blueprint of your destiny will be revealed to you.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: And the haziness around your Christian experience, help those under
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: the anointing. In the name of Jesus, the haziness around
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: your Christian experience, I command you to vanish tonight.
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 2: For some of you to be unto you as it was.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 2: Help this woman.
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: In Isaiah chapter 6 verse 1.
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 2: It says in the year that King Uzziah died. I
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 2: Isaiah saw the Lord.
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: The grace to see may be released on you. The
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: grace to see. Let it be released upon you.
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 2: Help them please. Let it be released upon you. Let
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 2: it be released upon you. That grace to see.
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: That grace to encounter God. In the name of Jesus Christ.
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 2: One more prayer.
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: I see a dark shadow like a curtain resting on
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: people's lives. Tomorrow we'll have the time to pray and minister.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 1: But I need to do this since God revealed it
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 1: to me. Just like a veil, but it is shadow,
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: not a material veil.
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 2: And it's cast on people.
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: And because of this, your mind has been blinded to
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: spiritual things. You are not able to understand. You open
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 1: the Bible and yet you cannot see anything. Some of
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: you are preachers and you've been crying and say, Lord,
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 1: open the eyes of my understanding.
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 2: I want to pray.
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: The assignment of the spirit of revelation is that your
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: understanding becomes fruitful I pray for you help that man
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus that fail that has sat
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: upon your mind in the spirit not allowing you to
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 1: comprehend spiritual things I tear up.
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 2: That fail now please help them please help them whether
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 2: you are an usher or not I tear up that
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 2: fail now in the name of Jesus.
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: There are many of you who will start understanding things
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: you did not study.
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 2: From tonight, you will wake.
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: Up and open the Bible and see that illumination, superior
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: light from heaven. Because there is an urgency for the
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: saints to become mature. There is an urgency to attain
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: stature in the spirit. We cannot take the nations being
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 1: weak in the spirit. We need to be people of
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 1: capacity and power.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 2: Therefore, I pray for you.
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: All that it takes for your spirit man to be built.
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: May it rest upon you now. May that engraving rest
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: upon you now.
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 2: The Bible says.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 1: Seeing then that we are surrounded by so great a
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: cloud of witnesses. Let us lay aside every weight and
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: the sin that doth easily beset us. And to run
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 1: with perseverance the race that is set before us. The
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: Lord is asking me to pray one last prayer. My
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: apologies for stretching you, but I must pray it.
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 2: Watch this.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: You love the Lord with all your heart, but the
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 1: Lord is showing me that there are people. There are
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: all kinds of things that have held you bound. Addictions, habits.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: You want to serve the Lord acceptably, but there are
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: things tying you down. And it has kept you in fear.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: Will I go to hell? Can I live a victorious life?
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: I want to minister to you. In the name of Jesus,
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 1: wherever you are. Everything that God gives man, he gives
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: man control and dominion over. The moment you cannot control it,
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: a spirit has come to manipulate you. Therefore, I declare,
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: every influence that keeps you bound, keeps your flesh bound,
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: I declare, be released now.
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 2: Be released now.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: The spirit of slumber, gluttony, lusts of every kind, addictions
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 1: of aparakatoskiata.
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 2: Be released from it now. Be released from it now.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, that you step into an
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 1: authentic apostolic order of Christian experience.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. So let me
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 2: make the request this night.
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 1: Please, tomorrow, our teaching will also double as a miracle service.
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 1: I understand there's a morning session and a night session.
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Pastor Ike will come to speak on that.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 1: But particularly for tomorrow night, as I would usually do, please,
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: I want you to invite everyone.
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a miracle service. An impartation service.
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 2: There will be a release of graces.
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: As much as possible, invite the servants of God to come.
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 2: God grants us this grace so.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: That there can be a sharing.
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 2: In the spirit. Are we together?
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 1: It's not about who is bigger than who. It is
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 1: a privilege for us to be distributors of these possibilities.
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 2: Businessmen, invite them. Captains of industry.
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: And then may I request that you come with your requests.
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 1: And you can also take that of your loved ones
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: who may not be here. Anywhere across the world. You
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 1: can write it down and come. We're going to be
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: praying over it here. And to trust God for grace.
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 1: But there are some of you. You have carried this
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: presence tonight.
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 2: It will not leave you.
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 1: The walk of the spirit in you till tomorrow. Some
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: of you may not even be able to sleep this night.
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 1: You will wake up and pray in a way that
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: you have never prayed. Because there is an inner walking
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: of the spirit.
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 2: May the Lord bless you. In Jesus mighty name we pray.
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
