  I consider it a great privilege.

  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you so very much.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Please let me request everyone to stand, and I want
• 1:09
  you to help me. Honor our mother, Mommy Janet. God
• 1:13
  bless you, God bless you. There's a bless you can do.
• 1:17
  Honor her, a metriarch in Dean a man. I met
• 1:28
  her the first time when I came to preach for
• 1:31
  pasta Schola, and I think she just had a brief charge.
• 1:36
  And I said, Wow, this is a mighty woman of God,
• 1:39
  truly a mighty woman of God a man. And when
• 1:46
  we drove in here and I looked at the beautiful
• 1:49
  facility and everything, I said, No, the hand of God
• 1:52
  is truly truly in this place.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: God bless you.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: We honor you in Jesus' name in a similar vein
• 2:00
  help me honor the entire pastorage, the eldership of this
• 2:04
  great ministry. Thank you, I honor you, every single man
• 2:10
  and woman of God. The Lord bless you in the
• 2:14
  name of Jesus. I believe that God is going to
• 2:17
  be speaking to us tonight, and I believe that our
• 2:21
  lives will never be the same.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Who is ready to receive tonight?
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Would you lift those hands and cry onto God for
• 2:28
  a visitation tonight, Father, give me an encounter. Go ahead
• 2:33
  and pray. Father, give me an encounter in the name
• 2:42
  of Jesus Christ. Give me an encounter. Change my life.
• 2:54
  Let your word come with power, Let it transform me.
• 2:58
  The Bible says that trans of that word give it light,
• 3:02
  and it gave it understanding.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: Onto the symbol. Someone is praying in Jesus' name, we pray.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Father, We thank you for the abundance of your presence,
• 3:32
  your wisdom, your power in this place. Thank you for
• 3:36
  the honor of bringing your word, your life to your people.
• 3:40
  I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, that this
• 3:43
  session will be most impactful, and that everyone under the
• 3:48
  sound of my voice, including those who are following from
• 3:50
  across the globe, that they will be mightily impacted by
• 3:55
  tonight's session. And to Jesus be all the glory, Amen
• 4:00
  and amen, please give Jesus a big hand club, and
• 4:03
  you may be seated.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: You may be seated.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: You may be seated, Jesus said the thief comment not
• 4:21
  but for to steal and to kill and to destroy
• 4:27
  Johnt Chapter ten Undus ten. He says, but I am
• 4:29
  calm that ye may have life, and that you have
• 4:34
  that life more abondantly. He came to give us life,
• 4:40
  and that we have that life more abondantly. Before I forget,
• 4:46
  I want to salute the Woman of God and this ministry.
• 4:49
  I understand it is forty years of impact by the spirit.
• 4:53
  Can we give Jesus a big hand clab forty years?
• 5:01
  And I truly believe that if Christ tarries for the
• 5:05
  next forty years, this ministry will only go from glory
• 5:08
  to glory. The Bible says, they that be planted in
• 5:13
  the house of God. He says, they shall flourish in
• 5:16
  the courts of our God. Then he says, in old
• 5:19
  age they will still be fat and flourishing. May this
• 5:23
  be the prophetic word for this ministry in the name
• 5:26
  of Jesus Christ, that as your days are, so shall
• 5:30
  your strength be. If someone receiving it as a prophetic word,
• 5:33
  I say it again that as your days are SoC
• 5:36
  shall your strength be. The older you get, the greater
• 5:40
  you become. Too, you will never have a better yesterday.
• 5:45
  I say it over your life. You will never have
• 5:47
  a better yesterday. For the Bible declares that the path
• 5:51
  of the just is as a shining light. It shines
• 5:55
  brighter and brighter. More and more I profess, I'm more
• 5:59
  and more over your life, more and more over your children,
• 6:03
  more and.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: More over your career, more and more over your destiny,
• 6:08
  in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: And for someone, let me declare over you that door
• 6:13
  your beginning be small in this season. May God, who
• 6:17
  is the lifter of men, may he lift you beyond
• 6:21
  your background. May he lift you the one who lifted Esther.
• 6:25
  May he lift you the one who exulted Ruth. May
• 6:29
  he lift you the one who lifted Gideon. May he
• 6:32
  lift you in the name of Jesus Christ, that when
• 6:37
  the Lord turns again, your captivity to be like a dream.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: That even the hidden who said the Lord and don't
• 6:43
  great things for us. It says the Lord has don't
• 6:46
  great things for us?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: And where wrong?
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: We are glad turntain our captivities like the streams of
• 6:51
  the negative.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Any one here who has had to cry.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: From January, February, March, April, May, June, July, a god September,
• 7:00
  now October, I decree and declare you will end.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: The year with praise. You will end the year with
• 7:07
  pray in the name of Jesus. Least be seated who
• 7:18
  is lying him lion, and seated on the earth mountain.
• 7:30
  Smile down on the ocean wall to the King of kings.
• 7:40
  We will pray from the rising after the sun to the.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: End of every day. Praise all the nations of team,
• 8:01
  all the head and the Saint see.
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: An' frame horizon out the sun to.
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: The end the very day, Raise all the nations a
• 8:23
  tear holy held and the Saint.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I want to share with you very briefly, and I
• 8:35
  hope and pray that will have a bit of time
• 8:39
  to pray before my session is done, as a contribution
• 8:44
  to what God is doing all through this conference. Your
• 8:47
  honor to have great fathers of faith who will be
• 8:49
  standing upon this altar and be speaking over your life.
• 8:53
  Is impossible that you remain the same after this conference
• 8:57
  in the name of Jesus Christ Scriptures, and I'll begin
• 9:01
  to teach at chapter twenty six, please and verse twenty two.
• 9:08
  At chapter twenty six and verse twenty two, I want
• 9:15
  to share with you a mystery. Very briefly, this is
• 9:20
  the mystery that has been responsible for longevity of impact.
• 9:26
  Now for a foundation. God desires not only that we succeed.
• 9:33
  God desires not only that we advance, but he desires
• 9:38
  that we last away together. Now, the challenge with many
• 9:43
  believers is that we start well, but we have not
• 9:47
  mastered the technology that causes men to remain.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: And so people rise, people.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Do well, people excel, and then at some point in
• 9:56
  their lives they seem to platau and then they begin
• 10:00
  to decline. But the Bible says, the path of the
• 10:03
  just is as a shining light in ministry, in destiny,
• 10:08
  in career. It should be as a shining light that
• 10:12
  shined more and more.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: In fact, the Bible says it this way.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Better is the end of a matter than the beginning
• 10:21
  thereof Am I right on that That means God is
• 10:24
  always concerned about the latter part of things. It should
• 10:29
  never be that we begin well in ministry, we begin
• 10:32
  well in destiny, we begin well in family, we begin
• 10:36
  well in career, and then we plunge and become in
• 10:41
  a sorry state.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, this seems to be the lot of many believers.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: They start well with vibrancy spiritually speaking, they start well
• 10:51
  with vibrancy career wise, and then at some point in
• 10:55
  their lives, for whatever reason, they seem to plot two.
• 10:59
  They don't go down, but they don't go up again.
• 11:02
  Then they get to a point where they begin to
• 11:04
  go down until they look worse than the states they
• 11:08
  were when they started. The Bible is full of people
• 11:12
  who finish well, exceptional people who run their race and
• 11:18
  finished well. The Bible is also full of people who
• 11:21
  unfortunately did not finish well.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go through the story of people
• 11:28
  who did not.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: End well in scripture, but I'm praying for you that,
• 11:33
  in the name of Jesus Christ, you will end well,
• 11:36
  that your life will become an inspiration to those who
• 11:39
  are coming after you, in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 11:43
  So let's go to the Book of Acts, and I'll
• 11:45
  establish a few things and then we pray Chapter twenty
• 11:49
  six of Acts and verse twenty two do we have
• 11:52
  it projected? Okay, so I'll read it from here, and
• 11:55
  then you'll follow carefully. Says, having therefore obtain help of God,
• 12:03
  I continue onto this day, witnessing both too small and great,
• 12:10
  saying none other things than those which the prophets and
• 12:14
  Moses says should come. I'm interested in the apor. Just
• 12:17
  give verse twenty two.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: It says, having.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Therefore obtain help of God, I continue onto this day.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I continue.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: That means God has to help and assist a man
• 12:32
  to continue and remain. God has to help a man
• 12:36
  to have longevity of impact in life, longevity of impact
• 12:42
  in ministry. If a man does not obtain help of God,
• 12:47
  regardless how zealous, regardless.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: How well intentioned, I can tell you by the messes
• 12:52
  of God.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Even in this work of the ministry, I have seen
• 12:56
  people with solid character. I've seen people in tech gritty,
• 13:01
  but for whatever reason, they did not obtain the requiside
• 13:04
  help from God, and they still.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Felt like people who were full of compromise.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: I have seen a mystery in my life as a
• 13:11
  man of God that under a certain condition, it seems
• 13:14
  like Both good and bad experience the same result.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: The difference is the help of God over the life
• 13:20
  of a man.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: The Bible says, accept the Lord built a house. It says,
• 13:26
  they labor, but they labor in vain that build it.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Accept.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: The Lord watches over a city. I will learning tonight,
• 13:34
  it says the watch man watch it, but in vain.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: It is vain.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: It says to wake up early in the morning and
• 13:41
  to sleep late at night, only to eat the bread
• 13:44
  of sorrow. But it says God give it his beloved
• 13:48
  sleep that. If God does not help a man, there
• 13:54
  are times that your intelligence can fail if God does
• 13:58
  not help a man. Human connections are important, but human
• 14:03
  connections can be limited.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: If God does not help a man.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: You can have money, but you will be surprised at
• 14:11
  how many things money cannot do. If God does not
• 14:14
  help a man, you can have a good salmon and
• 14:17
  not have anyone interrusted in listening to you. If God
• 14:21
  does not help a man, you can be a man
• 14:23
  of character. But those who have the grace to help
• 14:27
  you will not even see you. It is not of
• 14:31
  him that winneth, nor of him that run it. It
• 14:37
  is of the Lord that show a messy who is
• 14:40
  learning already because we live in a world where we
• 14:45
  live in a celebrity age, where people like to take
• 14:50
  the credit for the exploits. They like to take the
• 14:53
  credit for the many things that happen around your lives.
• 14:56
  There is such an obsession to be a select britty,
• 15:00
  there is such an obsession to be exceptional.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: And there's nothing wrong in itself with that, except that
• 15:07
  you get to a.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: Point in your life where you can believe that the
• 15:12
  results that you have now produced have come as a
• 15:16
  result of the fastness of your prayer life, the fastness
• 15:19
  of your world study life, because of the accolades that
• 15:23
  follow you academically. Inasmuch as those things are not wrong,
• 15:27
  there is a life that powers those things to work.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: It is called the help of God.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: That without the help of God you can be as
• 15:35
  sound intellectually as you can be. You will still fail
• 15:39
  in life without the help of God. You can be
• 15:42
  skilled and gifted, you will still be ignored. Without the
• 15:45
  help of God. You can be a man of God.
• 15:48
  First in scripture, and you will be surprised that your
• 15:51
  life will not go forward.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: You will be surprised that ministry will not go forward.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: There are parents who raise their children and in a
• 16:01
  way that no child should be a tragedy after that
• 16:06
  kind of training, and yet almost all the children turn
• 16:09
  out to be a source of pain.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: It was not lack of discipline.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: And I've seen other people who did not make any
• 16:16
  investments in their children. And God me and that those
• 16:20
  children to ministries that midwife their training.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: It is not of Him that we left.
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: You are eabanies, the helper of men. You are ebonies.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Behind the exploits of men, exploits in ministry, behind the
• 16:47
  exploits of men, exploits in the area of influence, finances, and.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: So on and so forth.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: I am telling you that there are laws to be obeyed,
• 16:56
  there are principles to be kept. I agree, but we're
• 16:59
  not on this said and done. There is a part
• 17:02
  of the equation of success that no man can feel.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: It is only the help of God that becomes a
• 17:09
  complete of that equation.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Allelujah. I would always say that there are times when
• 17:21
  you desire to catch fish as a fisherman. If you
• 17:25
  want to catch fish as a fisherman, the right place
• 17:29
  to be is the sea. The right tool to use
• 17:33
  is your net and the boat. But pe time in
• 17:38
  John chapter twenty one. Being a professional fisherman, had the
• 17:43
  experience correct, had the boat correct, had the net correct,
• 17:50
  was at the right location correct, but it did not
• 17:54
  catch fish. There are times all the variables are right
• 17:58
  and mysteriously not know why things were working. It looks
• 18:02
  to me like sometimes God allows those things to happen
• 18:06
  deliberately to remind you that He's beyond a principle, to
• 18:11
  remind you that He is beyond a formula. Principles are powerful,
• 18:16
  but there is an agency beyond them. Well, learning haven't
• 18:22
  obtained help from the Lord. I continue ministry to this day.
• 18:27
  I continue career to this day. We live in a
• 18:31
  world where we are embarrassed to declare before the nations
• 18:34
  that God is the reason behind our results. We like
• 18:37
  to take credits for the things that God rots through us,
• 18:41
  and sometimes in doing so, we push God out of
• 18:45
  the space because we make him look like he's a nuisance.
• 18:49
  This celebrity mentality puts us in a position where we
• 18:53
  want to receive the accolage. If there is anything I
• 18:56
  have learned about God is that when you stand way
• 19:00
  of receiving glory, even if he's the one that blesses
• 19:03
  you or has blessed you to that position.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: He will fight you.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: God can fight something he once gave you because of
• 19:13
  the way you and that thing has interrupted him from
• 19:16
  being seen. Just because God gave you something does not
• 19:19
  mean it cannot become his enemy. The enemy of God
• 19:24
  is anyone and anything that perpetually becomes an interruption to
• 19:29
  his being glorified. That can be your gift. That can
• 19:32
  even be your church. God can fight good things. He
• 19:36
  does not only fight evil. God can fight good things.
• 19:40
  If they become an interruption to his being glorified, he
• 19:44
  will fight it. Let me tell you the truth. There
• 19:49
  are many people's decline in life that is not entirely demonic.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: They made up their minds to take the place of God.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: In Deuteronomy chapter eight, he began to push on the
• 20:05
  nation of Israel. And it says, let it not be
• 20:08
  that when you have built houses, let it not be
• 20:12
  that when all of these wonderful things have happened, you
• 20:15
  will say in your heart, my power and the might
• 20:18
  of my hand has gotten me these riches. Then it says,
• 20:23
  thou shall remember the Lord your God. You see, look
• 20:26
  at me, beloved. Something happens to believe us when we
• 20:31
  step into the realm of success. It makes a lot
• 20:34
  of sense to seek God when you are feeling. It
• 20:37
  makes a lot of sense to cry and fast and
• 20:40
  pray when things are not working. It makes a lot
• 20:43
  of sense to give when you are hoping that.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: You will rise. But there is a weakness in men.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Please follow carefully. We're going somewhere. There is a weakness
• 20:52
  in men. When they step into a realm of results.
• 20:57
  Something happens to them. The Bible, as they can forget.
• 21:01
  They do not forget because they are evil. They forget
• 21:05
  because they are human.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Allelujah. It is easy to make all kinds of vows
• 21:15
  and covenance with God. Lord.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: If you lived me, I promise that the nations will
• 21:19
  see me. If you prosper me, prosper my children, make
• 21:23
  all things to work well for me. But something there
• 21:27
  seems to be a weakness in all men that if
• 21:31
  God does not help you to term that weakness, it
• 21:35
  can cut shot your impact. So when men begin to rise,
• 21:41
  when convenience begins to come into your life, when God
• 21:45
  begins to give you a name as a man of God,
• 21:48
  when God multiplies your voice amplifies your impact gradually. It
• 21:54
  is a subtle indoctrination. It doesn't happen in one day.
• 22:01
  It's like a said doction that happens to you. You
• 22:05
  begin to convince yourself that honestly, without me, God's program
• 22:12
  cannot go forward. You begin to convince yourself it is
• 22:17
  at that point you become an enemy of God. Because
• 22:22
  if there is anything I know about God, he is
• 22:25
  passionate about being revealed and glorified in the world of men.
• 22:30
  And if anyone becomes an interruption to that agenda, I
• 22:34
  assure you you become an enemy of the Cross.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: So to remind you that if you celebrate forty years
• 22:45
  of impact and you watch a metric like our mother,
• 22:49
  still working in humility and giving God praise after forty years,
• 22:53
  it is worthy of commendation. There are people who cannot
• 22:56
  last two years of experiencing results. It becomes a to them.
• 23:02
  The reason why God does not seem to answer the
• 23:05
  prayer of many people is not because his hands cannot
• 23:08
  be stretched. You have been weighed in the spirit, and
• 23:12
  God has seen that lifting you will become a cost
• 23:14
  to you, so he would rather peg your growth until
• 23:17
  he prunes the tendencies of pride, until he prones the
• 23:21
  tendencies of taking his place.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Who is learning tonight? It is true.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Let me tell you this as a secret. By the
• 23:29
  messes of God. I understand a few things about prayer.
• 23:34
  Every time you pray on an issue again and again,
• 23:37
  and you bind, you cast, you do everything people agree
• 23:41
  with you, and that situation does not change. It is
• 23:44
  not the money again. There is something in you that
• 23:48
  needs to be corrected For the answer. Maybe this is
• 23:52
  a word for.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Someone you have given. You did not increase. You were diligent.
• 23:57
  You did not increase. Oil was laid on you, hands
• 24:00
  were laid on you. Stop casting the devil.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Go back to God and say, work on me that
• 24:05
  weakness you are taming by my delay. Work on me
• 24:09
  so that it will give me liberty away together.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: It is true.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: It is God that knows the tendencies that I enshrined
• 24:22
  within our hearts, and he must there is a post
• 24:25
  sure that a believer must carry perpetually to last. Now
• 24:31
  I show you a secret, and then will pray. I
• 24:34
  want to show you one of the ways that God
• 24:36
  helps men. The Psalmi said, I will lift up my
• 24:42
  eyes onto the heels, and then he says, from whence
• 24:45
  comment my.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Help he says, my health, not our help.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know where yours comes from, but my help
• 24:52
  comment from the Lord, the maker of the heavens.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: And the earth. Let me show you a mystery.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: This mystery has been responsible for the longevity of many
• 25:04
  people in ministry, in business, in career.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: And I'm praying for you in the name of Jesus,
• 25:11
  that God will open your.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Eyes, that you will engage this mystery for your profiting,
• 25:17
  and that for the rest of your life you believe that.
• 25:19
  Shout a loud amen. Isaiah chapter forty. Please let's go
• 25:25
  to verse twenty eight. We're doing three verses Isaiah, chapter
• 25:32
  forty and verse twenty eight. The Bible starts by saying,
• 25:39
  hast thou not known, and hast thou not heard that
• 25:44
  the Everlasting God.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Pay attention.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Now he's talking about God, the Everlasting God, the Lord,
• 25:53
  the creator of.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: The ends of the earth.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: Feiging ted not take notes now introducing the subject of weariness.
• 26:03
  But he's saying, in discussing that subject, let us centrally
• 26:07
  first and foremost, that there is one who is exempted.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: From that limitation by reason of who he is.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: I'm about to talk about a subject, but he's saying
• 26:17
  so that you do not think it's a weakness that
• 26:19
  befalls all men. That God is exempted from this limitation.
• 26:24
  He fainted, not neither is weary. He says, there is
• 26:29
  no such of his understanding. So he expects you to
• 26:33
  get that as a preamble. Now that you understand that
• 26:36
  God is not weak and does not faith, he tells
• 26:39
  you something about the world of men.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Verse twenty nine.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: He giveth power to the faith, so there is hope
• 26:48
  for everyone who fails.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: He giveth power to the faith and to them that
• 26:54
  have no might. He increases strength. Is someone learning tonight?
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: Then he introduces something that is a weakness to all men.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who you are.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Once you find yourself in flesh and blood, this weakness
• 27:14
  will eventually catch up with you if you do not
• 27:18
  know how to circumvent your way above it.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: The weakness is in verse thirty. Even the youth shall faith,
• 27:28
  not may faint, shall faith. It's not a cause.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: He's revealing something that was programmed with the falling nature,
• 27:37
  that it is part and person of the human nature.
• 27:42
  The youth shall faint and be weary, the young men
• 27:46
  shall utterly fall.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: He talks of fainting.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: He talks of weariness, very starting, please back up to
• 27:54
  the start again, fainting, weariness, and even falling.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: But then he tells us there is a way out,
• 28:03
  but they not.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: But all but day not everyone will be interested in
• 28:09
  engaging this mystery. But they that weight or turn the Lord,
• 28:16
  the Bible says, a few things will begin to happen
• 28:18
  to those.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Days, that they will renew their strengths.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: That even though they are human and based on the
• 28:26
  Lord that limits human nature, they should fall, they should faint,
• 28:32
  but that they have found a system in the spirit that.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Causes them to mount up with wings as the eagles.
• 28:39
  That they shall run.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: And when you are expecting them to be exhausted as
• 28:44
  all humans should be, by a mystery that God is
• 28:48
  revealing here, you will never find them exhausted. That they
• 28:51
  will run and not be weary, they will walk and
• 28:56
  not faint. If that looks like you, shout aloud, amen.
• 29:02
  It means that in as much as we are humans,
• 29:06
  in as much as we are limited by this frame
• 29:09
  called the body, the Bible says, you can outsource intelligence
• 29:13
  and engage a mystery that even after thirty years you
• 29:17
  will still be standing in ministry, standing in business when
• 29:21
  others are falling like a pack of card.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Even though you are human.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: Godlike results will be manifested through your life.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: And that where men ask you, don't you get tired,
• 29:31
  don't you get.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: Exhausted, you will tell them I'm in every way human,
• 29:35
  but I have found out that day that wait or
• 29:40
  turn the Lord, something happens to them. Remember the Bible says,
• 29:45
  if you fall of faint or turn aside in the
• 29:50
  day of battle, the diagnosis is.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: A strength problem.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: That every time you are afraid of moving forward, if
• 29:58
  anything affects your continue it is a strength problem. And
• 30:02
  the Bible says it is human to gas out, It
• 30:05
  is human to lose strength for various reasons. The enmity
• 30:10
  and the wickedness of men is enough to exhaust you
• 30:14
  in this life.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: That the fact that you are making progress, men can be.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: Used by the devil and they can become blockades to
• 30:22
  your moving forward. Why are you the only one rising
• 30:25
  in this office? Why are you the only one rising?
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Daniel?
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: You are not the only one in Babylon. Let's prove
• 30:32
  the reason why Daniel does not seem to be exhausted,
• 30:38
  and the whole parliament sat down to discuss a matter,
• 30:42
  so it affects one man, so the man cannot continue.
• 30:51
  There are many reasons why we are weak. There are
• 30:54
  many reasons why we faith. One of it is because
• 30:57
  of the reality of the world that we live in.
• 31:01
  The Bible says our world is surrounded with evil, that
• 31:05
  the whole world lie yet in wickedness. You don't have
• 31:08
  to look for anyone's trouble. Once you are born, and
• 31:11
  once God begins to show you messy, it is enough
• 31:14
  to attract antagonism from everywhere. Is it only your children
• 31:20
  who will rise and be shining? Is it only you
• 31:23
  who will be rising men for you? What was the
• 31:26
  crime of Jesus that he was hated by the scribes
• 31:29
  and the Pharisees. You would think that if they really
• 31:32
  loved men, they should be happy about someone who would
• 31:36
  be executing their agenda.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: But they were angry.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: You know. The source of their anger that the whole
• 31:42
  city's attention had been turned to Jesus, and they said,
• 31:45
  let's do something about this man. It first started as
• 31:49
  subtle antagonism, until they got to a point where they
• 31:53
  wanted him to die so hard they were willing to
• 31:56
  bring out the terrorists and release the terrorists.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Back into out provided it to help Jesus die. Let
• 32:05
  me tell you the truth. There's something about the world
• 32:09
  of men.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: When you succeed consistently, it can attract envy, It can
• 32:16
  attract jealousy, it can attract antagonism. And because you are human,
• 32:22
  there is only so much you can fight in the flesh.
• 32:25
  One day you become exhausted. Is the reason why people
• 32:28
  commit suicide, is the reason why people get angry. It's
• 32:31
  the reason why many fold their boots in ministry and say,
• 32:35
  you know what, I'm tired of all this trouble. As
• 32:37
  a man of God, you know what it means to
• 32:40
  begin a work, and then you labor. You labor, you
• 32:43
  push all kinds of betrayals, all kinds of disappointment. Here,
• 32:47
  after ten, fifteen, twenty years, you feel like wrapping it
• 32:51
  up in ministry. Even the youth shall fad. The signature
• 32:59
  of a young man is his strength, he says, I
• 33:02
  write to you, young men, because you were strong. And
• 33:06
  yet in spite of that human strength, people can be exhausted.
• 33:12
  There are people today who are due for promotion, but
• 33:15
  simply because of some kinds of sentiments, their promotions can
• 33:19
  be pecked for a very long time.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: And let me tell you, as humans, who can become exhausted.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: One of the most comforting scripture in the Bible is
• 33:30
  John eleven thirty five.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Jesus wept.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Life wept, strength wept, vision wept, faith wept.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: God wept. He never cried as God, but when he
• 33:52
  became a man he wept.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: There are two reasons, according to scripture, why Jesus went.
• 34:00
  The first was love and compassion. In fact, all were
• 34:03
  love and compassion, but the scenario was different John eleven.
• 34:07
  He was standing in front of Lazarus's tomb, and he wept,
• 34:11
  and the Bible says, they said, oh, how he loved him.
• 34:15
  The second time Jesus wept, he looked over Jerusalem and
• 34:19
  some people moving like sheep without shepherd, and the Bible says,
• 34:22
  he wept and lifted up his voice and said, Jerusalem, Jerusalem.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: If only you had known in this day the things.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: That pertain onto your peace, it says, but they are
• 34:32
  hidden from you. Jesus wept because of compassion. He also
• 34:37
  wept because of the ignorance of men. Let me show
• 34:40
  you people in the Bible who were weary. There was
• 34:42
  a man called Abraham, the one who would become the patriarch.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Are we together now?
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Abraham became weary because he waited for years, waited for
• 34:54
  a child.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Sarah became weary, and at a point Abraham.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: I'm sure that Abraham had just given up and said, God,
• 35:02
  you know what, you somebody in my house to raise
• 35:05
  me a child. And God said, no, you will have
• 35:07
  your own child from you. Let me show you another
• 35:11
  man who was exhausted in scripture, a man who laid
• 35:14
  down for thirty eight years at a pool called Bethesta,
• 35:19
  one of the few men who the Bible records the
• 35:22
  longevity of your paid I'm sure by the first year
• 35:25
  when the man got there, he took for granted that
• 35:28
  by maybe one or two years I would.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Be out of this place.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Two years in pain became five years, became a decade,
• 35:36
  became fifteen years, became twenty years. I'm sure someone encouraged him.
• 35:40
  I said, don't worry this year, for sure, you'll be out.
• 35:43
  Twenty five became toirty, thirty became thirty five, thirty six,
• 35:48
  thirty seven, thirty eight. When Jesus came to him and said,
• 35:54
  why are you in this condition? And said, don't waste
• 35:56
  my time. Listen, I've been in this condition for a
• 36:00
  long time. How about the woman with the issue of blood.
• 36:05
  One of the synoptic accounts tell us that Jesus was
• 36:09
  on his way to go and heal the centurion's daughter.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Remember she was twelve years of age and she was
• 36:16
  about to die.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: And while he was on his way going, there was
• 36:20
  a woman who was also twelve years That means the
• 36:23
  day that young girl who died was born, that was
• 36:26
  the day this woman's problem to certain they were all
• 36:31
  twelve years. One was about to lose his daughter, the
• 36:35
  other was saying, listen, it is an issue of my health.
• 36:42
  There are times that people go through pain. There are
• 36:45
  times that people go through tragic situations. There are times
• 36:49
  that people go through on favorable situations. But let's look
• 36:53
  at a few things and then we'll pray. If God
• 36:56
  is helping you and speaking to you shouting loud amen.
• 37:00
  So the first information we get from Isaiah forty and
• 37:04
  please pay attention now the strategy that helps you to
• 37:08
  obtain help giving you longevity in life, that even though
• 37:13
  you are human, you are able to conquer the limitations
• 37:16
  of weariness, the limitations of fatigue, the limitations of exhaustion,
• 37:22
  and you continue until you finish your race.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: You will finish strong.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: I prophessy to someone, you will finish strong in the
• 37:31
  name of Jesus Christ. So Number one, the first information
• 37:36
  we learn from that scripture Isiah forty is that God
• 37:40
  does not faint and God is not weary. Not as
• 37:43
  God when he became a man in Christ, he was tired.
• 37:49
  Jesus slept because he was tired. Jesus was hungry, he
• 37:53
  was exhausted. All of these human limitations were very evident
• 37:57
  in the life of Jesus when he became a man.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: But as God, the Bible says, God does not faith.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: It is hopeful for us to know that scripture puts
• 38:07
  it in a very beautiful way that the Keeper of
• 38:10
  Israel that he does not sleep, He does not slumber.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Isn't that amazing? There is no exhaustion with God.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Number two, The Bible gives us an information that whoever
• 38:23
  faints needs power.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: When you find yourself.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: Fainting, emotionally fainting, spiritually fainting in every area of your life,
• 38:35
  what you are in need of is power, and that
• 38:38
  whoever has no might, what God does to such a one.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Is to increase strength.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: Then he tells us that all men, even the youth
• 38:50
  and the young men, will faith and be wary, and
• 38:55
  even or tally fall fall in ministry, falling life, fall
• 38:59
  in death, stay, falling career.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: But then he says, thirty one, they that weight upon
• 39:08
  the Lord.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Someone shout, I will wait one more time, say I
• 39:12
  will wait day that wait upon the Lord, the Bible says,
• 39:18
  they shall renew their strength. Now, what does it mean
• 39:23
  to wait upon the Lord? Seeing then that strength, renewal,
• 39:27
  revitalization is connected to this mystery that means the mystery
• 39:33
  of sustainable impact, void of weariness, void of exhaustion, that
• 39:40
  as the years come, so your energies sustained and multiplied,
• 39:44
  The Bible says, the mystery that controls that kind of
• 39:47
  outcoming a believer is called waiting upon the Lord. What
• 39:53
  does it mean to wait upon the Lord? Waiting upon
• 39:57
  the Lord is beyond prayer and fasting. Most times when
• 40:02
  we say I am waiting upon the Lord, we say
• 40:05
  that to me, and I'm on a first.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: And while there is an expression of.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: That there, waiting upon the Lord is way beyond just
• 40:13
  prayer and fasting. Hallelujah, I'll give you three definitions, and
• 40:19
  then we'll pray.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Number one, to wait upon the Lord means to look
• 40:26
  onto Jesus.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: It is a description of total dependence, a state of
• 40:34
  total dependence.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Waiting upon the Lord.
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: Number one suggests having this consciousness that if God does
• 40:44
  not help me, if God does not open a door
• 40:48
  for me, if God does not become an ankle and
• 40:51
  strength and help for me by the strength of the flesh,
• 40:55
  I will not be able to do much.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Waiting upon the Lord is being just praying and fasting.
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: It starts with an orientation if someone learning now you
• 41:05
  are waiting upon the Lord when you Number one sustain
• 41:08
  this orientation that it is of the Lord's messy that
• 41:12
  we are not consumed, and that by the strength of
• 41:15
  the flesh, no matter how dex terrorists are, no matter
• 41:19
  how competent you are, eventually you will gas out. Eventually
• 41:24
  you will be wary. Someone says, I will wait. I
• 41:28
  will wait means that I declare in advance that I
• 41:31
  am helpless outside of the.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Help of God.
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: I declare in advance that my education, as important as
• 41:38
  it is, has limitations in the world of men, that
• 41:41
  my skill, my expertise, my knowledge, are we together Now,
• 41:45
  Everything that constitutes an advantage in my life will eventually
• 41:49
  be frail.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: They that wait upon the Lord. We look to your way,
• 42:07
  ah way, Our hope is here way. Don't sing, just
• 42:14
  listen to what I'm singing. This is what it means
• 42:18
  to wait. I look to your way, yeahway.
• 42:25
  Speaker 10: My hope is yahweh yeahway. I look to yaway yeahway.
• 42:39
  It's forever yahweah yeahway.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Listen.
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: If you can't turn this song to a mentality, then
• 42:50
  you have learned how to wait. It is beyond a
• 42:54
  special number. It is an orientation you must carry for
• 42:58
  the rest of your life. I onto you like a
• 43:01
  maid looks onto her mistress for help.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Lord. If you do not help me, I cannot go
• 43:06
  beyond this place.
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: Some trusting horses and others trusting childods exaid, But we.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Will trust in the name of our God.
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: It is one of the things that I learned very
• 43:19
  early in ministry, that the strength of men eventually fails them.
• 43:25
  Even warriors run under a certain condition, they run away
• 43:30
  from battle. The nation of Israel having warriors, they got
• 43:34
  to a point where go liards of God stood before them,
• 43:37
  and he said, King Saul, bring me a man to
• 43:40
  fight me. Every day he kept coming, and the Bible
• 43:44
  says their strength failed them.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: The warriors were afraid.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: There are things that confront you in this life that
• 43:52
  even if you are Elijah, you will run away to hide.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: So I look to.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: Here way yeahwey.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: That's what it means to wait. Number one.
• 44:05
  Speaker 10: My whole is yahway yeahweh. I look to hereahweh yahweh
• 44:19
  forever yeahweh yahweah.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Apostle.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: My own challenge is that I need thirteen thousand dollars
• 44:30
  fifty thousand dollars to go and continue my postgraduates abroad.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: I don't have a father, I don't have a mother.
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: Yet every time I go to bed, I see myself
• 44:40
  as a PhD holder, I see myself as a professor
• 44:44
  from one of the Ivy.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: League universities colleges abroad. How is this going to happen?
• 44:49
  Let me tell you.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: They look onto him, my Bible says, and their faces
• 44:53
  were lightened. Provided you can look beyond your pay Peter,
• 44:58
  if you keep looking at this see you will sing.
• 45:01
  But if you look onto Jesus, one step after the other,
• 45:05
  you will find out that you are able to work
• 45:07
  on water.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: We will look to here away.
• 45:13
  Speaker 10: Yeahweh our home is seahway, yeahwah.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Es will to her.
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: Anywhere.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Listen. I'm sure that.
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: If we call our mother out and tell us, please
• 45:43
  tell us the story the journey of this ministry, she
• 45:48
  will tell you that there were times that she stood
• 45:50
  and said, God, you are my only help. If you
• 45:53
  do not lead me, I have nowhere to go. There
• 45:56
  is something I know about God. He likes the sound
• 46:00
  of surrender and dependence. He likes the sound of surrender
• 46:05
  and dependence. Allelujah. My dear friend and brother is Yaha Sociola.
• 46:14
  We were talking about it this morning. He woke up
• 46:18
  like every other preacher, happend to start a conference and
• 46:22
  had even done videos inviting people, and about a few
• 46:26
  hours to the conference, the entire church was gutted by fire.
• 46:31
  Not a single cheer was taken out of it. I'm sure,
• 46:35
  I'm sure you all saw it. There is something about
• 46:43
  God when you know by even when you cry, you
• 46:47
  will still say I know that there is an end
• 46:49
  to this, that your tears will no longer be tears
• 46:55
  of hopelessness. You will cry because you are human, but
• 46:58
  you will still be singing arms him. Some spiritual songs
• 47:02
  as the tears come.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Ah, you know that dog, he's slay me.
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: Yet, will I trust him that all the days of
• 47:10
  my point of time, I will wait while the promise
• 47:14
  is still coming.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: I will wait. I will wait as I believe him.
• 47:17
  I've not seen my dreams and visions come to pass.
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: Lord.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: I know what you told me last year. I know
• 47:23
  what you told me. I'm shaddery.
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: I thought by now the sudden things would have happened
• 47:30
  in your life, in my life.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: But even now I still wait upon you.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: I look up to you, because now and the fountain
• 47:39
  of life, and is in your life that we see life.
• 47:43
  Someone lay your hands on your head in one minute,
• 47:46
  and say, Father, the grace to look on to you,
• 47:49
  the grace to depend on you. Someone is praying a
• 47:53
  serious belief.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: I spray, I look on to you. I may cry,
• 47:59
  but I will wait to you. Why they wait? What
• 48:02
  will wait for him? My human lady? So but I
• 48:06
  will wait. It taes to wait, it does to look
• 48:10
  or to Jesus. In Jesus' name, please be seated. But
• 48:22
  Paul began to teach us in Hebrews chapter twelve, from
• 48:25
  verse one.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: Here's what he says, Seeing then that we are surrounded
• 48:31
  by so great a cloud of witnesses, he says, let
• 48:35
  us lay aside every week and the scene that don't
• 48:39
  easily besets us. Then he says, to run with patience,
• 48:43
  so with passiverence the race that is set before us.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: I like verse two, looking on to Jesus, This is
• 48:51
  how to run, sous that you win.
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: Looking onto Jesus, he calls him the author and the
• 48:57
  finish up of our faith, who for the joy that
• 49:00
  was set before him, that he endured the cross, He
• 49:05
  despises the shame and is today set out the right
• 49:09
  hand of God. Can I tell you something, no matter
• 49:12
  what you are going through today, hear it from me?
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: It has an end.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: The Bible says, surely, there is an end. There is
• 49:22
  absolutely nothing that is new under the song. Let me
• 49:26
  speak a word of hope for someone. The thing that
• 49:29
  was is the thing that is, and it is the
• 49:31
  thing that is to come. There is nothing new under
• 49:33
  the song. Rent issue. It is not new looking for
• 49:37
  the fruit of the woman. It is not new looking
• 49:39
  for a spouse. It is not new weeping over someone
• 49:42
  whose transited. It is not new Trusting God to pay
• 49:46
  your rent.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: It is not new.
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: Trusting God on your home it is not new. Trusting
• 49:51
  God to be a graduate is not new. Every thing
• 49:54
  that you say that you desire has happened to someone before,
• 49:58
  and the Bible said, follow them who true facts and
• 50:03
  pair shens have obtained the promise. You are not the
• 50:08
  first to serve ministry. You are not the first to
• 50:11
  desire longevity ministry. You are not the first to desire
• 50:15
  the fruit of the womb. You are not the first
• 50:17
  to desire a spouse. You are not the first to
• 50:20
  desire a job. It has happened before, and there were
• 50:23
  people who try arms over it. It says, hear my cry,
• 50:27
  your Lord, I tend onto my prayer from the ends
• 50:30
  of the earth. Will I call onto you that when
• 50:33
  my heart is overwhelmed, it says, lead.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Me to the rock. There is a rock that is
• 50:38
  higher than I. That rock is Jesus.
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: That rock is Jesus, that when men look onto him
• 50:45
  their faces become lighted.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Please be seated, so waiting upon the Lord. Number one.
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: Refers to an orientation, a mentality of total dependence. You
• 51:05
  can first and pray, but not with a mentality that
• 51:09
  knows that if God does not help me I cannot
• 51:12
  go further. You did not wait upon the Lord. Waiting
• 51:16
  upon the Lord does not start with an activity. It
• 51:18
  starts with an orientation, an orientation, an orientation. God, If
• 51:26
  you do not help me, there is no way out
• 51:29
  total dependence. I like how Proverbs chapter three puts it.
• 51:34
  From verse five to seven. Here's what it says, trust
• 51:37
  in the Lord, abundant life. Hear me, trust in the Lord,
• 51:41
  the Bible says, with all your heart, it says, and
• 51:44
  lean not onto your own understanding.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Verse success in all your ways? How many in all
• 51:50
  your ways?
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: A acknowledge Here the word acknowledge is a very important word.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Acknowledge does not mean.
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: To recognize him, to place much priority on him. That
• 52:01
  he knows that without him you cannot move further. Acknowledge him,
• 52:06
  and he shall direct your path. Verse seven says, be
• 52:10
  not wise in your own understanding, shear the Lord, and turn.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: Away from evil.
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: But they that weight upon the Lord is a mysterious
• 52:24
  strategy that has bailed many weak people out of life's vicissitudes. Allelujah.
• 52:32
  Still speaking about Personialah, you need to go back and
• 52:37
  take a visit in that church, and you will know
• 52:40
  that God reigns over the affairs of men. I believe
• 52:46
  that God used that event to speak a message to
• 52:49
  the body of Christ that it doesn't matter where you
• 52:52
  find yourself.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: Regretting over where you are will not solve the problem.
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: But he told Abraham, he said, liftop you your eyes,
• 53:01
  even you, if your feet cannot get there, your eyes
• 53:04
  can go there. Liftop your eyes from where you are,
• 53:07
  not where you want to be, From where thou art,
• 53:10
  Take your eyes not what's what's eat? Word westward It say,
• 53:15
  as fast your eyes can see. I have given on
• 53:17
  to you as an inheritance, Allelujah. To look onto Jesus,
• 53:29
  to have an orientation that my entire life's journey depends
• 53:34
  on the supply of grace and help that comes from
• 53:38
  Him is the first thing the Bible refers to as
• 53:41
  waiting upon the Lord?
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: Number two. What does it mean to wait upon the Lord?
• 53:47
  Are you ready? To wait upon the Lord?
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: Means that you wait for instructions that give you victory
• 53:55
  past season. To wait upon the Lord is beyond just
• 54:00
  a mentality of dependence. It means to wait for instructions
• 54:06
  every time you are talk and you are around a
• 54:09
  season that does not seem to open up for you.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: When you stay, you don't just stay as a mentality alone.
• 54:16
  You stay to receive instructions because.
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: When the word of the Lord comes, it comes as
• 54:23
  a key that can open you up to the next season.
• 54:27
  Shall I pursue, it says, pursue, overtake, and without fail
• 54:32
  recover All many people wait upon the Lord, but they
• 54:38
  do not stay until he speaks. When you wait upon
• 54:42
  the Lord, your trigger to living that place is when
• 54:45
  his voice comes. Can I tell you God speaks, but
• 54:49
  he's not always speaking. You were created in his image.
• 54:53
  You speak, but you are not always making. God speaks,
• 54:57
  but he's not always speaking. The Bible will say, on
• 54:59
  the fifty year, on the fifth day of the tent months,
• 55:03
  the world of the Lord came. Your assignment is to
• 55:07
  stay until the world comes Father. Should I stay in
• 55:12
  Nigeria or should I go to UK or should I.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: Go to Canada? What is the next what is the
• 55:17
  next ten years of my life?
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: Can I tell you this?
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: When God is silent, don't be in a hurry to
• 55:24
  suggest what he's saying. Because the silence of God is
• 55:27
  also a language. You must know how to interpret the
• 55:30
  silence of God. This is where Satan will slip into
• 55:34
  your desperation and tell you things that sound like God.
• 55:38
  He can appear as an angel of light, someone learning
• 55:47
  an angel of light. And there are times you can
• 55:50
  hear things and think it is God, whereas it is
• 55:53
  not God.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Wait, Father, what is the next level? The next season
• 56:01
  in ministry? And you literally shut down. Let me tell
• 56:05
  you this.
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: The process of waiting makes you look like a fool
• 56:09
  for a long time until his work comes.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: But with the word of the Lord comes acceleration.
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: Acceleration. God can tell you wait, you're a man of God. Lord,
• 56:22
  when do I start ministry? I'm ready?
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: And he says, wait. And for a long time you
• 56:27
  will look like a fool? What are we doing? O? God?
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: And then one day his word comes, and with that
• 56:34
  word comes the empowerment for the season. Someone just gives
• 56:38
  you a call and says, the Lord instructed me to
• 56:40
  hold your hands financially. You see when you don't hear
• 56:45
  God say ghost, I said, Peter said, if it be thou,
• 56:49
  pit me, come And he said, come, Peter, I want
• 56:53
  to teach you that boat. It's not the only way
• 56:55
  to go to the other side.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: You can't wait.
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: There are many ways to transport yourself. The usual is
• 57:02
  to use a boat, but when the boat fails, there
• 57:05
  is something you can get in the place of waiting.
• 57:07
  The Word of God is also a vehicle. It can
• 57:11
  transport you that the same thing a boat can do,
• 57:14
  the Word of God can do the same. In a
• 57:17
  job can do, the Word of God can do. The
• 57:20
  seving men can do, the Word of God can do.
• 57:23
  That was the essence of that miracle. It was not
• 57:25
  just about working on water. It was to show you
• 57:28
  the various ways you can arrive to the other side.
• 57:31
  That sometimes it is a boat, but there are times
• 57:34
  that you are already delayed. The boat has gone ahead
• 57:37
  of you. Find Oh, you can still work on water.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: Apostle, my boat, let's see, is twenty twenty and it
• 57:56
  may never return. Your boat can be time, and time
• 58:01
  has gone ahead of you. And as it is right now,
• 58:05
  that boat does not look like it to return back.
• 58:07
  There is another agency to help you. I will restore
• 58:11
  the years. God can he bring his word. The Word
• 58:17
  of God can become anything that you lost and give
• 58:21
  you an urgent life. Who is learning tonight? Yes, sir,
• 58:31
  the boat can go, But when the boat leaves, make
• 58:37
  sure the world is with you and that world. You
• 58:41
  wait until it comes. But when it comes, when it comes,
• 58:45
  when it comes, you will get up and begin to walk,
• 58:49
  and some of you, in one year you will catch
• 58:52
  up as though you started.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: I know that for ten years after graduation you did
• 58:56
  not get a job.
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: I understand if you were working now, you would have
• 59:00
  attain a certain I'm not teaching you to be lazy.
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not teaching there are way his life was desired
• 59:06
  to work.
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: But I'm saying, based on the reality in our world,
• 59:10
  there are times that the boat goes ahead of you.
• 59:13
  But make sure when the boat goes ahead of you,
• 59:15
  turn and wait. Don't just lament and sit there. If
• 59:18
  you lament and sit there, no word will come to you.
• 59:21
  But when you wait, his word comes.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: This word comes, this word comes, this word comes.
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: I started administry in the area the northern part of
• 59:37
  this nation, and one time, when my season there was over,
• 59:42
  I began to sense in my heart that the season
• 59:46
  was over.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: But where I was going to move to I did
• 59:50
  not know. I just knew that it was over.
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: Do you know when you get to these prophetic junction
• 59:56
  to be careful, you can lose efficiency of ten.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Years by one carelessness.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: Prophetic junctions are delicate moments in the life of everyone.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: You can do well for ten years.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: And one wrong decision will robbish your testimony because you
• 1:00:15
  did not see well away together.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: Now, I knew that my time in Zaria was exhausted.
• 1:00:21
  But whether I was going to go?
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: Was it America, was it uk Us, was it Abuja,
• 1:00:28
  was it Legos?
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: Where? And I knew that it was to wait, to
• 1:00:33
  wait upon the Lord.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: I remember then I came into Legos from South Africa,
• 1:00:40
  had a meeting, and then I went to London briefly
• 1:00:42
  for a meeting. As I returned back, I went to
• 1:00:46
  Abuja and I was to rush to Zaria for a
• 1:00:48
  program when they declared COVID, you know the lockdown, the
• 1:00:52
  three months lockdown. I was trapped there in Abuja, and
• 1:00:58
  all I did I said, well, since I don't have
• 1:01:00
  anybody to preach you now, let me not waste my time.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Let me wait.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 4: Stayed in prayer, and the Lord gave me an instruction.
• 1:01:08
  He said to buy the map.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no. It was even when I had
• 1:01:13
  found out I was praying.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: I knew that the.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: Season in Xaria was over. But where would be the
• 1:01:19
  next place. I did not know. I kept praying and praying,
• 1:01:22
  and it looked like God.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 4: You can imagine for someone who prophesies for people, it
• 1:01:27
  is difficult to stay till you hear God because there
• 1:01:30
  is impatience when you are used to hearing God for others.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: It's a difficult thing to wait.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 4: And I stood there and one time I just saw
• 1:01:40
  a vision the map of Abuja, and I said, this
• 1:01:43
  is it.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: And I began to pray. And look what God has
• 1:01:47
  done today.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: You say you can clap for a man, but it
• 1:01:50
  was the fruit of waiting for someone all through the period.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: Of this conference. Make it a retreat. Make it a retreat.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: Shut down on a few things, and say, Lord, you
• 1:02:02
  must speak to me in this season. I'm tired of
• 1:02:05
  recycling seasons of pain, for there is a way that
• 1:02:08
  semen right onto a man, and the Bible says the
• 1:02:11
  end thereof are the ways of destruction. Many of you
• 1:02:15
  have tried all kinds of things, believing it was God
• 1:02:18
  that spoke to you. Now the result is showing it
• 1:02:21
  was not God. Use this conference to fine tune your hearing.
• 1:02:26
  Fine tune your hearing, find tune your hearing. To wait
• 1:02:32
  upon the Lord means to wait until his world comes
• 1:02:37
  the prophetic word that becomes a compass, helping you to
• 1:02:41
  navigate through the season you're about to enter. Number three,
• 1:02:45
  what does it mean to wait upon the Lord? Who
• 1:02:48
  is learning tonight? To wait upon the Lord means to
• 1:02:52
  stay until you evolve to a more superior version of
• 1:02:58
  you that manifest the prophetic world on your life. Now, listen,
• 1:03:03
  we were discussing again with Pasaola will We're coming, and
• 1:03:06
  I was telling him that there are many ways God
• 1:03:09
  answers prayers. Let me tell you three ways. God answers prayers.
• 1:03:12
  Number one by supernatural manifestations like healings, deliverances. He can
• 1:03:18
  answer you instantly supernaturally. Number two, God answers prayer by
• 1:03:23
  introducing the Ministry of Men to your life, the Ministry
• 1:03:27
  of Men. Number three, God answers prayers by causing you
• 1:03:32
  to grow into the version that He can bless. Because
• 1:03:37
  there are many things that we call prayer requests today
• 1:03:41
  that are only there because you have not grown.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: It was never supposed to be a prayer request.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: The fact that you have it as a prayer request
• 1:03:51
  is proved to you that you have not grown to
• 1:03:53
  the version that.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: Can be trusted with that answer. Are we learning now?
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 4: So when you wait upon the Lord, you stay there.
• 1:04:03
  Please listen. This is a major component of waiting. To
• 1:04:08
  wait until you mold like a reptile, like a snake,
• 1:04:12
  coming out of your former self into a more spiritual version,
• 1:04:17
  a more consecrated version, a more enlightened version. To wait
• 1:04:23
  upon the Lord means to stay in his presence until
• 1:04:26
  that which becomes a limitation to your next level is broken.
• 1:04:31
  The flesh, the encomperhences that tie you down, the weights.
• 1:04:37
  You stay in his presence until that circumcision happens. Don't
• 1:04:44
  forget what we're this causing that. To wait upon the
• 1:04:47
  Lord Number one is a spiritual orientation of total trust
• 1:04:53
  and dependence upon the Lord.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: Number two.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 4: To wait upon the Lord means to stay until he speaks,
• 1:05:00
  using his voice to give you direction for the next season.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: Number three.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 4: To wait upon the Lord means to stay in his
• 1:05:06
  presence until his presence does something to you and evolves
• 1:05:12
  you to a more spiritual version, a more powerful version,
• 1:05:16
  a version of you with greater capacity to now be
• 1:05:20
  able to handle the weightier things that he.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: Want to bring you. Into the Bible says an air.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: For as long as that air is a child, he defied,
• 1:05:29
  not from a slave.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: If that air is a man of God.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 4: No matter what kind of expectation you have, God will
• 1:05:37
  restrict growth. He will restrict results until growth is attained.
• 1:05:42
  God will restrict results until growth is attained. There are
• 1:05:47
  many restrictions that are not demonic. It is the messy
• 1:05:51
  of God. He is stopping you from wasting your seasons,
• 1:05:54
  so he keeps you until you grow.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: Who is learning?
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: So when the Bible says they that wait upon the Lord,
• 1:06:09
  you understand what he's saying. Now, They that have this
• 1:06:12
  consciousness that my entire life revolves around the help and
• 1:06:17
  the messy of God. That outside of his help and messy,
• 1:06:20
  I am what I am, Paul says, by the grace
• 1:06:23
  of God. I am what I am, by the grace
• 1:06:26
  of God. It is not of him that will let known,
• 1:06:28
  of him that runeth, but the Lord that showeth messy.
• 1:06:31
  Are we together now haven't obtained help from the Lord?
• 1:06:34
  I continue this way? Number two. To wait upon the
• 1:06:40
  Lord means to wait for his word. He gives you
• 1:06:43
  the prompting, He gives.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: You the match in order.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: He gives you the direction. He gives you the instruction
• 1:06:50
  for the next season. Content within that instruction is the
• 1:06:54
  strategy for victory for the season you about entry. Let
• 1:06:58
  me tell you this, yesterday's formula may not give you
• 1:07:02
  today's victory. Just because you parted the red sea yesterday
• 1:07:07
  does not mean any time you see a sea the
• 1:07:09
  solution is to part it. There are times you will
• 1:07:11
  need to work on water. There are times God will
• 1:07:14
  give you a boat. Any time you stand before a sea.
• 1:07:17
  Don't assume that because you parted it yesterday it means
• 1:07:21
  every time you see a sea you will part it.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: You may try to pat it and drown this time around.
• 1:07:27
  You have to wait for instructions per season.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 4: And then number three, to wait upon the Lord means
• 1:07:38
  to wait until his presence does something within you breaks
• 1:07:43
  that out timban, breaks that flesh, destroys all of those
• 1:07:47
  limitations that will frustrate your result tomorrow. As a man
• 1:07:51
  of God, you are trusting God to take you global.
• 1:07:54
  You are trusting God to open up doors. And God
• 1:07:57
  is saying there are tendencies of pride, tencies of lost,
• 1:08:00
  tendencies of envy, tendencies of jealousy. So he says, wait
• 1:08:04
  upon me, when you wait there, he cuts all of
• 1:08:07
  those things until you truly become spiritual. Then he can
• 1:08:11
  open the doors of nations so that you do not
• 1:08:14
  become a casualty and corrupt your testimony and the name
• 1:08:18
  of the Lord. It is better forgot to deal with
• 1:08:21
  you before you rise. How many of you know that
• 1:08:23
  the higher you go, the more impactful your fall. When
• 1:08:27
  you are on the ground and you fall, you may
• 1:08:29
  not enjoy yourself. But when you are at the top
• 1:08:32
  of the building and you fall, you may not even
• 1:08:34
  leave to tell the story. Now, let me wrap up
• 1:08:38
  by telling you three things you do while you are waiting.
• 1:08:44
  There are three things you must do while you wait
• 1:08:47
  in his presence.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: Number one.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: The first thing you do while you wait in his
• 1:08:53
  presence is that you must wait. Starting scripture Dean scripture.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: Listen. The light of God's word is what destroys.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: Darkness in any area, the Bible says John one five.
• 1:09:11
  And the light shine it in the darkness. When you
• 1:09:14
  wait upon the Lord and you are not engaging the
• 1:09:17
  word of God, you are not listening to the word
• 1:09:20
  of God. You are not opening yourself to the word
• 1:09:22
  of God. You are wasting that experience. When you set
• 1:09:26
  aside a time to wait upon the Lord. Waiting upon
• 1:09:29
  the Lord means engaging scripture. For in many many cases,
• 1:09:33
  you will hear his voice through his word. You will
• 1:09:37
  hear his voice through his word. You will hear his
• 1:09:41
  voice through his world. The Lord can appear to you
• 1:09:44
  by his word. Are we together? What do I do
• 1:09:50
  while I'm waiting? I engage the word. I engage the
• 1:09:54
  world who has faced my kind of situation?
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: In the Bible, what did they do? What did they do?
• 1:10:02
  What did they do? I'm trusting God for the fruit
• 1:10:04
  of the womb.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 4: And while I am waiting for my answer, the Bible says,
• 1:10:09
  look onto Abraham, your father, and to Sarah that body.
• 1:10:13
  For I called him alone, and I blessed him, and
• 1:10:16
  I increased him.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: That means man. You see, I have thought this, and
• 1:10:20
  perhaps some of you have heard.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 4: Me, that the various names you see in the Bible
• 1:10:24
  are not just names of individuals, but they are also
• 1:10:27
  spiritual pathways that produces a kind of believer. So when
• 1:10:33
  you hear the name Sarah, Sarah is not just the
• 1:10:36
  name of the wife of Abraham. Sarah is the name
• 1:10:39
  of a spiritual pathway that can lead to victory, are
• 1:10:43
  we together now that when you are buried, you can
• 1:10:45
  follow a spiritual pathway the way Sarah followed, and at
• 1:10:50
  the end of it Genesis twenty one and verse one
• 1:10:54
  becomes your own testimony. The Bible says, and the Lord
• 1:10:58
  visited Sarah, as he said, And the Lord did onto
• 1:11:02
  Sarah as he has spoken. When we wait, we wait
• 1:11:10
  with the world number two. What do you do while
• 1:11:14
  you wait?
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: You engage in hoity prayers.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 4: You invest in strategic prayers, praying with all manner of prayers,
• 1:11:25
  praying in the spirit, prayers of thanksgiving, prayers of warfare,
• 1:11:31
  prayers of supplications. May I refer you to listen to
• 1:11:34
  my teaching as we wrap up effective prayer dynamics.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: Effective prayer dynamics.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: By showing that teaching the various kinds of prayers that
• 1:11:44
  the believer must engage all of them do not produce
• 1:11:47
  the same outcome. There is the prayer of thanksgiving, There
• 1:11:50
  is the prophetic declaration of scripture. There is praying in tongues,
• 1:11:55
  praying in the spirit. There is engaging in warfare. All
• 1:11:59
  of these have their outcomes. When you are waiting, you
• 1:12:03
  are permitted to engage every and all manner of prayer
• 1:12:09
  in the place of waiting. Warfare is allowed in the
• 1:12:12
  place of waiting, thanksgiving us proof of faith is allowed
• 1:12:16
  in the place of waiting. Creating your reality by declaring
• 1:12:20
  scripture is allowed.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: In the place of waiting.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: Praying in the spirit to edify yourself, so that you
• 1:12:26
  are built into that version that can host the promises
• 1:12:30
  of God in experience. When we wait, we engage the
• 1:12:38
  light of God's words. We contend for enlightenment through the
• 1:12:41
  world as we wait.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: When we wait, we engage in prayer. We engage in prayer.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: And let me add prayer wait firsting. When you are
• 1:12:52
  really waiting upon the Lord, you wait, you pray, and
• 1:12:56
  you first. You pray, and you first, You pray, and
• 1:13:01
  you first, allelujah? What do we do while we wait?
• 1:13:07
  Are you ready? You engage the mystery of praise. You
• 1:13:12
  engage the mystery of praise. You engage the mystery of praise.
• 1:13:18
  I will call upon the Lord, the Bible says, who
• 1:13:21
  is worthy of praise? It says, so shall I be
• 1:13:24
  saved from my enemies? Let the people praise thee Oh God.
• 1:13:28
  Then shall the head.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: Yield her increase.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: There is something about praise, not just as a weapon
• 1:13:35
  of warfare, but that you can program tomorrow by prayer.
• 1:13:40
  While Paul and Silas were in the prison waiting for
• 1:13:43
  their deliverance, the Bible says, they prayed at midnight. They prayed,
• 1:13:48
  and they sang, and all the jailers hurt them. Let
• 1:13:52
  me tell you something about combining prayer and praise. It
• 1:13:56
  was not everybody in the prison who was praying, It
• 1:14:00
  was not everybody in.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: The prison who was singing.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 4: But when the answer came, everybody in the prison benefited
• 1:14:08
  for it. That means your family members may not join
• 1:14:11
  you while you are praying, they may not join you
• 1:14:13
  while you are praising. But that God delivers a testimony,
• 1:14:17
  your children's children will benefit from it. It says, at midnight,
• 1:14:24
  tall and silence, they prayed, and then they sang, and
• 1:14:28
  all the jailers hurt them. At least they did not
• 1:14:31
  stop them, so they were cooperating.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: With them in some way.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 4: The Bible says, suddenly there was a great earthquake and
• 1:14:39
  the foundations of the prison was shaken.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: And immediately, I like this, all the doors were opened.
• 1:14:46
  How many doors?
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 4: How many doors, financial doors, marital doors, health doors, carry
• 1:14:53
  out doors.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: The Mama says when God came, all doors opened, all
• 1:14:58
  doors those, all doors open.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 4: But that's not where I'm going. Please show me that
• 1:15:07
  scripture again. All doors open. Read the remaining line, and
• 1:15:12
  everyone's bands were losing, everyone including those who were in
• 1:15:17
  the prison. They didn't pray, they didn't praise. But then
• 1:15:21
  when the atmosphere of those who were waiting. Can I
• 1:15:26
  tell you this, No one may have risen in your family,
• 1:15:30
  But now that you are the only one who knows
• 1:15:32
  God this much, engage wit upon the Lord. Carry this consciousness.
• 1:15:37
  Wait upon him as you engage the world. Wait upon
• 1:15:41
  him as you engage in prayer, Wait upon him as
• 1:15:44
  you engaging praise.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: Oh you are good, Old Lord, You are good, Old Lord.
• 1:15:49
  You are good, Oh Lord.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 4: But Lord, and a shields on me my glory he
• 1:15:58
  lived min my sense in my time point is here?
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: But how shell song me?
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 5: My dolly dots around?
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: But how does.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 5: She'll sup me? My going?
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 4: Do its my?
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: But how does she something?
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 5: My goings around? My oh my going, let's around.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 4: My.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 5: Going, my going, dots around my mind, my going?
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: Oh my lory.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 5: Lift up.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: Now listen, I will give you the last key. My
• 1:17:08
  time is up.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 4: But let me request that you will lend me five
• 1:17:11
  more minutes. It's important that I do what I want
• 1:17:14
  to do.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: Now, I want to.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 4: Show you four things I've given you three. Number one,
• 1:17:20
  when you wait upon the Lord in his presence, open
• 1:17:25
  up scripture and learn his ways. You will hear his
• 1:17:28
  voice when the scrolls are open. Number two, engage in
• 1:17:33
  strategic prayers.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: Number three, engage in praise with understanding.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 4: Now let me tell you the fourth thing you do
• 1:17:41
  while you are waiting, and I hope you have the
• 1:17:44
  faith to believe. Engage the mystery of sacrifice, The mystery
• 1:17:51
  of sacrifice Psalm fifty, verse five. Goddamn my saints onto me,
• 1:17:57
  he says, they that have made a count with me
• 1:18:01
  by sacrifice. When you are waiting during those seasons, you
• 1:18:07
  engage sacrifice of your time, sacrifice.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: Of your resources.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 4: I can tell you moments in my life whereas I
• 1:18:18
  waited for seasons to open, God gave me instructions, sometimes
• 1:18:23
  very painful instructions. I know that most believers are not
• 1:18:27
  mature enough to even take this dimension. But there is
• 1:18:30
  a dimension where it is death that works with glory.
• 1:18:34
  There is a dimension where death has to work in
• 1:18:37
  you so that life will work in others. God can
• 1:18:41
  give you an instruction, can tell you so a seed
• 1:18:44
  not as manipulation. With understanding, God does not need your money.
• 1:18:49
  What dies is not the seed. What dies is something
• 1:18:52
  in you, so that life will come out. Abraham, I
• 1:18:57
  desire you to be a father of nations. But take
• 1:18:59
  this song, that only song whom thou lovest, and offer
• 1:19:03
  him as a bond offering.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you this, anyone who engages.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: This consistently is the man who will enjoy a bondance
• 1:19:15
  of grace in your faith. Sojourn that when orthers Plot
• 1:19:19
  two or that's mad time, you should be a victim
• 1:19:23
  of it too.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: But you know the day that wait upon the Lord.
• 1:19:27
  As you stay in his presence, you get some time.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 4: Alone, off ministration, off the face of people, and you
• 1:19:34
  are in his presence, engaging scripture. You are in his presence, praying,
• 1:19:39
  You are in his presence fasting. You are in his
• 1:19:42
  presence praising, And then you engage with his seed. He
• 1:19:46
  says you have done well. He opens up a new vista,
• 1:19:49
  and like the eagles, you mount up with wings. And
• 1:19:53
  although you are human, the tanks of results that come
• 1:19:56
  from your life, from your ministry, from your business his
• 1:20:00
  socks that only God can produce.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: Allelujah. So the way we obtain help from God is
• 1:20:13
  to stay in his presence, engaging light from scripture.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 4: Stay in his presence in prayer, Stay in his presence
• 1:20:23
  giving him praise for who he is. Stay in his
• 1:20:26
  presence listening for his voice. Let me remind you again,
• 1:20:31
  and then we'll pray that to wait is first consciousness.
• 1:20:37
  It's a mentality of total dependence, void of looking up
• 1:20:42
  to self.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: Number two, to wait means to stay until his.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 4: Voice comes, to look onto Jesus until his voice comes.
• 1:20:55
  You still remember because when his voice comes, it opens
• 1:21:00
  a new season for you. Number three, to wait means
• 1:21:03
  to stay in his presence until you evolve. Don't forget
• 1:21:07
  this third one. This is the major assignment of waiting
• 1:21:11
  to stay till you evolve, because when you evolve, there
• 1:21:15
  are many things you are looking at now as a
• 1:21:18
  miracle that would be a natural reality in that realm.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: We are going to pray. I want us to take
• 1:21:25
  a minute or so to pray. You are going to
• 1:21:27
  be crying on to God that.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 4: Every destruction, that a destruction that has cheated you, that
• 1:21:34
  you have gassed out.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: You are wary.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: You've told everybody your problems except the one who can
• 1:21:40
  really help you.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: You're going to obtain grace from God. Lord. I do
• 1:21:44
  not want to have a better yesterday.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 4: I am like the eagle whose strength can be renewed.
• 1:21:50
  I cry for strength, the grace to wait.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: Someone. Go ahead and pray.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 4: Lift your voice, passionately and sincerely. The next one minute,
• 1:21:58
  you are praying onto the God of all grace.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 5: M hmm.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: Not mana sapad badadads.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 11: They that wait upon the law, They that wait upon
• 1:22:17
  the Lord, the businessman that wait upon the Lord, the
• 1:22:23
  past us that wait upon the law, that carry out,
• 1:22:28
  persons that wait upon the Lord, the elders, the children,
• 1:22:33
  the young men that wait upon the law.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 4: The students that wait upon the Lord. Go ahead and pray.
• 1:22:45
  I obtain grace to wait. I obtain grace to carry
• 1:22:50
  this consciousness that everything I have belongs to you, that
• 1:22:56
  there is no mean without you, intrude m h.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: Grace.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 4: To stay until he speaks, To stay until his work comes, chrace,
• 1:23:25
  to stay until you grow, to stay studying the world,
• 1:23:32
  to stay, pray to stay, praise it, to stay, giving
• 1:23:39
  until you grow in Jesus' mighty name, we pray. In
• 1:23:48
  Jesus' glorious name, we pray. So the next time you
• 1:23:53
  see individuals by the wings of the spirit, soaring in
• 1:23:58
  ministrying in business, soaring in every area of life. You
• 1:24:07
  know the secret now. It is not because we are
• 1:24:10
  sufficient in ourselves our sufficiencies of God.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: But the key is to learn to wait. And if
• 1:24:19
  I wear you, don't wait until you are wary.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 4: Wait as a lifestyle, because sometimes when you are wary,
• 1:24:27
  it becomes too late. Medical science teaches us that at
• 1:24:31
  the point you are thirsty, your body would have been
• 1:24:33
  desiring water for a long time already. So you don't
• 1:24:37
  wait until you are thirsty to drink water. You take
• 1:24:40
  it as a discipline for health and vitality. That's how
• 1:24:43
  it is in the spirit. You don't wait until trouble.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: Sends you for a retreat. You wait as a lifestyle.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 4: That every week, asigned from your daily times with God,
• 1:24:55
  you dedicate a time every month.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: There is a time between you and His majesty.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 4: And when people ask you why are you always in
• 1:25:02
  His presence, you will tell them that is why you
• 1:25:05
  desire me in the first place.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: The day I leave His presence, then my relevance also dies.
• 1:25:12
  Let me pray for you.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 4: I'm praying for two sets of people here tonight. Let
• 1:25:18
  me have your attention, please, I want to pray first
• 1:25:21
  for someone who is saying, Apostle.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: Listening to you, it is very clear that I don't
• 1:25:28
  even believe in Jesus, not to talk of waiting. Something
• 1:25:33
  has happened to me.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 4: I have been in church all my life, or I
• 1:25:38
  was invited to this conference, but as it stands right now,
• 1:25:42
  I sincerely cannot say I have a functional relationship with
• 1:25:46
  this Jesus, the one who is not weary, the one
• 1:25:49
  who gives power to those who are.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: We can increase his strength to those who are without might.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 4: I want to give someone an opportunity to make it
• 1:25:59
  right with Jesus now, and for someone perhaps to re
• 1:26:03
