Transcript
- 0:01Welcome to NECF Sermons. Each message here is
- 0:06designed to uplift and strengthen you in your
- 0:09walk with God. Don't miss out. Stay with us until
- 0:13the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive
- 0:17right in. Yes, so on Sunday we started the other
- 0:23last part of the gifts of the Spirit. That is
- 0:28revelational gifts. Right. And we started with
- 0:33word of knowledge, the word of knowledge. Praise
- 0:36God. And this is important because, you know,
- 0:39word of knowledge is an instruction. Let me use
- 0:43the word. It's an information that virtually
- 0:47every day the Holy Ghost supplies to the believer.
- 0:51Amen. Yes. Virtually every day you are enjoying
- 0:55the operation of the word of knowledge. Amen.
- 1:00Either for your family, for your friends, for
- 1:02the church, for the most times. In fact, all
- 1:06of the time when we say give somebody a word.
- 1:11Right. There is high probability that the word
- 1:17you are giving is a word of knowledge. Amen.
- 1:20Yes. So, but we find situations where it's a
- 1:23word of wisdom. Amen. And then we now find. where
- 1:29we see discerning of spirits. However, we are
- 1:33coming to that, you know, so that the practical
- 1:36aspect of it will really be applicable well for
- 1:40us. So now, we stopped at, somebody should help
- 1:47me, we stopped where, at 1 Samuel, 1 Samuel,
- 1:53right? Did he stop at 1 Samuel? Yes. Yes, good.
- 1:58So, if you check your notes very well, we read
- 2:011 Corinthians 12, verse 8. From 1 Corinthians
- 2:0512, verse 8, we stopped at verse 10. Let's go
- 2:09there. Let's read it again. You should not be
- 2:11tired of reading it. Let's go there. 1 Corinthians
- 2:1612. 1 Corinthians 12. Yes. Father, we thank you.
- 2:26We bless you. Be thou glorified. Be thou exalted
- 2:28for this evening. We thank you for the spirit
- 2:30of revelation is active in our hearts in the
- 2:33name of Jesus. The eyes of our understanding
- 2:35is flooded with light and we understand our reality
- 2:40in Christ Jesus. We thank you that this evening,
- 2:44Lord, as we are taught and we are trained in
- 2:46the name of Jesus. We enjoy the operation of
- 2:49the gift of the word of knowledge in Jesus' name.
- 2:52Father, we thank you for we are receiving words,
- 2:54we are receiving instructions, we are receiving
- 2:56guide, we are receiving help. Lord, for ourselves,
- 2:59for the local church, for our friends, for people
- 3:01around us in the name of Jesus. And we see faith
- 3:05being built, our lives edified and God glorified.
- 3:09In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Praise God.
- 3:13Hallelujah. Yeah, so 1 Corinthians chapter 12.
- 3:16Verse 8. Yeah, so before I read, you know, who
- 3:20remembered on Sunday, I mentioned about somebody,
- 3:24a brother that came to church, right? Yes, I
- 3:27pointed a brother that came to church and then
- 3:29I said I was scrolling on Instagram, the church's
- 3:32page, and then I saw him, right? I just got this
- 3:36impression in my heart that pray with him. Amen?
- 3:39So after the service, we got to communicate and
- 3:42then... I now knew the reason why that instruction
- 3:45came. Amen. So because he shared with me a whole
- 3:49lot of things that were happening and made up
- 3:53his mind to be in the service in the morning.
- 3:57Amen. So after we finished conversing and then
- 4:00we had time to pray, or after he has told me
- 4:03all that he needed to, it now made sense to me
- 4:06more why that came for us to pray for him. Praise
- 4:11God. Yeah, so this is practical application of
- 4:16the word of knowledge. Amen. Then yesterday also,
- 4:20one of our sisters, you know, we prayed for a
- 4:24family member, you know, so she slept and then
- 4:27woke up and then there was an instruction to
- 4:31pray for them because she saw as though they
- 4:35were kidnapped. Right. And then we had opportunity
- 4:41to pray for them. And then yesterday we had the
- 4:45prayers. And yesterday, right, they had a major
- 4:50accident where the tire of the car, right, removed.
- 4:55But all of them were preserved. Praise God. Hallelujah.
- 5:01Yes, very practical. You remember I mentioned
- 5:03on Sunday, when someone's thought comes to your
- 5:07heart, let me say it again this way. Now, I'm
- 5:11going to expand it. When someone's thought comes
- 5:14to your heart, whether as a result of you are
- 5:17awake during the activities of the day, Or you
- 5:21see someone in the dream and you know it's not
- 5:25ordinary because I thought about him or we slept
- 5:29and then we talked and then I slept or we had
- 5:31a discussion. But you know there is something
- 5:34that is happening and then you woke up with a
- 5:37burden in your heart. In fact, most times, let
- 5:39me say this, most times, you know, the first
- 5:43instruction you're going to get in your heart
- 5:45is pray for them. Either pray for him or pray
- 5:47for her or pray for them. Amen? Yes, so you will
- 5:51see the leading or you will hear the leading
- 5:53of the Holy Spirit in your heart swiftly regarding
- 5:57that particular person or regarding that particular
- 6:00matter. It's not ordinary. For some of us, it
- 6:05will be a vision. You could be seated and then
- 6:08it's almost like just a movie just played and
- 6:12passed. You know you're not sleeping. And you
- 6:17know that definitely you're not awake. But somehow,
- 6:20like you saw a movie just pass, and then you
- 6:23saw something happen to someone somewhere, and
- 6:27an instruction came to your heart to quickly
- 6:29reach out to the person. Amen? So as you are
- 6:33reaching out to the person, immediately the person
- 6:36tells you, this is what is just happening. How
- 6:40did you know? Did someone reach out to you? No.
- 6:44So don't ignore the promptings of the Holy Ghost.
- 6:48When he brings people into your heart, when he
- 6:52brings events into your heart, when he directs
- 6:56you to locations, to places, to pray for people,
- 6:59to pray for events, don't ignore them. Those
- 7:02are not your ordinary daily thoughts. It is the
- 7:08operation of the gift of the Holy Ghost in your
- 7:11heart. Amen? To meet a need. To meet a need.
- 7:15To establish God's purposes and His counsel.
- 7:18This is important. You see, every day I get,
- 7:23every day I look forward to practice more and
- 7:25more and more and more and more the things of
- 7:28the Spirit. Because that is the only way to get
- 7:32better at it. That is the only way to get better
- 7:37at it. That is the only way. So what I'm saying
- 7:40in essence before we read this place is do as
- 7:43much as possible to practice the things of the
- 7:46Spirit. Practice them. Practice them. Practice
- 7:52them. The more you get better at it, the more
- 7:55you understand how God speaks. The more you understand
- 7:58the voice of God clearly. the more your spirit
- 8:02man is built so much more to silence other distractions
- 8:06and noise from the environment. So most times
- 8:14when I begin to hear, for example, an instruction
- 8:17comes to my heart and God is reminding me, I
- 8:19will take care of you. Remember, I told you that
- 8:23I will take care of you. I share with my wife
- 8:26that most times, oh, often when I begin to get
- 8:29this instruction is because there's something
- 8:31major that is coming ahead of me and God is preparing
- 8:35my heart now to ensure that my faith wavers not
- 8:40at the things I'm desiring or expecting. So we
- 8:45should pay attention. So all the teachings that
- 8:48we're going to get all this while till we end
- 8:51this part of the gift of the Spirit, this series,
- 8:54is important for us. Because whether you like
- 8:56it or not, whether you know it or not, daily,
- 8:59one of them is happening. Word of wisdom, word
- 9:04of knowledge, discerning of spirit, one of them,
- 9:06your oppression is coming. But because probably
- 9:09you are not trained and taught, you will not
- 9:11think it is your thought and then you ignore
- 9:13it. Praise God. So we are learning now so that
- 9:18we can take advantage and then see more of the
- 9:21operation. One of the things that I said I was
- 9:24going to add to us, that please let's add this.
- 9:27The word of knowledge is not mind reading. The
- 9:34word of knowledge is not what? The gift of the
- 9:38word of knowledge is not mind reading. It's not
- 9:42mind reading. It's not mind reading. You're not
- 9:48trying to read the mind. So when we say pray
- 9:51for somebody, that's why I'm saying this now.
- 9:54Because when we come to practicing more, when
- 9:57we say, can we pray for Tito? And then I come
- 10:01to Tito and then I hold the hand of Tito. I'm
- 10:04trying to use my, I don't know whether it's antenna
- 10:07you want to use or something you want to use.
- 10:10What is he thinking? What is he thinking? If
- 10:14you cannot think anything, you say, ah, sorry,
- 10:17bro, I don't have a word for you. It's not mind
- 10:23-reading. When it comes to the operation of the
- 10:29things of the Spirit or the gifts of the Spirit,
- 10:32don't always lose touch with the source, the
- 10:36Holy Ghost. Praise God. Don't always lose touch
- 10:42with who? With the source, the Spirit. When we
- 10:45say give a word for somebody, don't be looking
- 10:48at the person. Rather, be speaking, be conversing
- 10:51with the Holy Ghost. Holy Spirit, what do you
- 10:54have for my sister? Holy Spirit, what do you
- 10:57have for my brother? What is the need that you
- 10:59want to meet? Pay attention. Pay attention. Pay
- 11:03attention. As you're praying in the Holy Ghost,
- 11:06pay attention. As you're praying in the Holy
- 11:08Ghost, pay attention. As you're conscious about
- 11:10what the Holy Ghost has, pay attention. Do you
- 11:16know sometimes, as simple as I'm going for service,
- 11:20church service, I'm already conversing with the
- 11:23Holy Spirit. Please, how many people are you
- 11:26healing today? How many people are coming to
- 11:29service sick? How many people today are confused?
- 11:33What is going to happen in the service today?
- 11:36Even when I get into church, as service is going
- 11:39on, I'm praying in the Holy Ghost, I'm turning
- 11:40around to see the crowd. I'm turning around to
- 11:43see the crowd. And then suddenly, one of these
- 11:46days, as I'm turning, I will say, you see that
- 11:48sister there? This is what I have for her. You
- 11:50see that brother? This is what I have for him.
- 11:54And I go glow. So I don't need to wait until
- 11:57there is an atmosphere or there is a space created
- 12:01for me to receive things that will strengthen
- 12:05and build the faith of my brothers or the local
- 12:08church. Why? Because the Holy Ghost The Holy
- 12:18Ghost, we've had it in the previous series. The
- 12:21Holy Ghost has already given me the gifts. He's
- 12:26waiting on me to use them. He's waiting on me
- 12:30to be able to work with them. He's waiting on
- 12:33me to be able to work in love in all these gifts
- 12:37as I bring benefits to the local church. So what
- 12:44I'm saying in essence now, As we are now presently
- 12:48on this platform now, you can receive a word
- 12:51for somebody. Hallelujah. As we are on this platform
- 12:55now, pay attention now. Pay attention. Pay attention.
- 12:58You can scroll and see the names of people. Can
- 13:01we just do this in the next one minute? If your
- 13:03screen is not large, you can scroll and see the
- 13:07names of people front and back. The Holy Spirit
- 13:11is giving you a word now for someone. The Holy
- 13:18Spirit is giving you a word for someone. Pay
- 13:21attention. The Holy Spirit is giving you a word
- 13:23for someone. Thank you, Holy Ghost. Thank you,
- 13:29Holy Ghost. We're going to come back to this
- 13:34part now at the end of the service because all
- 13:37the words that you're receiving, just pay attention
- 13:40to it. Pay attention to it and keep it. Do you
- 13:46know that the more you continue to practice,
- 13:48we can ask you to give a word for everybody on
- 13:51this platform and you give them a word? Everybody
- 13:55on this platform. Everybody. I mean precise word
- 14:01of knowledge from the Holy Ghost. Yes. It's possible.
- 14:10It's a reality. By the Spirit of God, not by
- 14:13your own spirit or by your own ability. 1 Corinthians
- 14:1712 verse 8. For to one is given by the Spirit
- 14:20the word of wisdom, to another the word of knowledge
- 14:22by the same Spirit, to another faith by the same
- 14:27Spirit, to another the gifts of healing by the
- 14:29same Spirit, to another the working of miracles,
- 14:32to another prophecy, to another designing of
- 14:34spirits, to another diverse kinds of tongues,
- 14:36to another interpretation. of tongues. 11 now.
- 14:40Now we stop there. But all these work that one
- 14:44and the self same spirit dividing to every man
- 14:47severally as what? As he will. Praise God. And
- 14:52then when we read 1st we read 1st Samuel. Let's
- 14:58go there. 1st Samuel chapter 9. We read verse
- 15:003, 5, 6, 15, 16, 19 and 20. And then we saw Prophet
- 15:08Samuel. Bring a direction. Let's go there, everybody.
- 15:111 Samuel. 1 Samuel. 1 Samuel 9. I believe we
- 15:23know what the word of knowledge is from the last
- 15:26teaching we had. I believe we know what the word
- 15:29of knowledge is not. We had a teaching on the
- 15:35word knowledge. and then what it is not. And
- 15:38now we are considering what the word of knowledge
- 15:41is. And we started by 1 Samuel 9 .3 .5 and then
- 15:45we read 20. So now let's go to 20. Everybody,
- 15:501 Samuel 9 .20. Are we all there? Can we read
- 16:02verse 6 first before we read 20? And he said
- 16:10unto the king, Behold, now there is in this city
- 16:13a what? A man of God, and he is an what? Honorable
- 16:17man. All that he said come to what? Come it surely
- 16:22to pass. A man of God says a thing, and it surely
- 16:30comes to what? To pass. Amen? It's important
- 16:35when it comes to the believer and words. The
- 16:39believer ought to be a man that is careful with
- 16:41his words. Praise God. And he said, now let us
- 16:45go thither, that eventually he can show us our
- 16:50way that we should, what? We should go. They
- 16:56are meeting the man of God to show them the way
- 17:00they should go. They are not meeting the man
- 17:03of God regarding God's purposes and his agenda
- 17:06for him to be anointed as a king or for him to
- 17:10be kept somewhere or something. No, they are
- 17:12meeting the man of God for us, for him to tell
- 17:15them the way they should go. So they know that
- 17:20this man of God has a track record. Let me use
- 17:23that carefully. That he has an integrity. And
- 17:28that integrity is that when he says a word, it
- 17:32will surely come to what? To pass. Praise God.
- 17:36Then now they move to see the man of God. I have
- 17:39verse 20 now. Let's see what the man of God now
- 17:42will say. Verse 20. And as for thine asses that
- 17:49were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on
- 17:55them. Amen. For they are what? They are found.
- 18:00Hallelujah. So God will bring information to
- 18:09meet a need. So you can write it somewhere. The
- 18:12word of knowledge in operation meets a need.
- 18:17The word of knowledge in operation meets what?
- 18:21needs a need. So God will give instructions,
- 18:25information from the Holy Ghost to the believer
- 18:28to meet a need. And on whom is all the desire
- 18:34of Israel? Is it not on thee and on all thy father's
- 18:40house? And Saul answered and said, Am I not the
- 18:43Benjamite of the smallest of the tribes of Israel?
- 18:49And thy and my family at the least of all the
- 18:53families of the tribe of Benjamin. Wherefore,
- 18:55then speakest thou so to what? To me. Praise
- 18:59God. And Samuel took Saul and his servant and
- 19:09brought them into the parlor and made them sit
- 19:13in the chiefest place among them that were bidding.
- 19:16which were about thirty persons. And Samuel said
- 19:20unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave
- 19:22thee, of which I said unto thee, said he by thee.
- 19:24And the cook took up the shoulder, and that which
- 19:27was upon it, and said it before Saul. And Samuel
- 19:30said, Behold, that which is left, said it before
- 19:32thee, and eat. For unto this time had it been
- 19:36kept for thee, since I said, I have invited the
- 19:39people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day.
- 19:4325. And when they were come down from high place
- 19:45into the city, Samuel came with Saul upon the
- 19:49top of the house, and they arose early, and it
- 19:52came to pass about the spring of the day that
- 19:53Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying,
- 19:55Up that I may send thee away. And Saul arose,
- 19:58and they went out both of them, he and Samuel
- 20:01abroad. And as they were going down to the end
- 20:03of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servants
- 20:06pass on before us. And he passed on. But stand
- 20:09thou still a while, that I may show thee the
- 20:12what? That I may show thee the word of God. Hallelujah.
- 20:18Praise God. Yes, so we see an operation of the
- 20:23word of knowledge from Prophet Samuel to Saul
- 20:25here. Amen. Bringing the purposes of God over
- 20:31Saul to be anointed as king. So every time the
- 20:38word of knowledge comes, it's not for the giver,
- 20:42neither is it for the receiver. What is that
- 20:45the purposes of God should be established. The
- 20:53need of the receiver is met, but the purpose
- 20:56of God is what? Is established, is come to pass.
- 21:00So what is the purpose of God? That that need
- 21:02is met, the faith of the person is built, or
- 21:05that person has a direction, or that person is
- 21:08encouraged. This is important. So we see here
- 21:16that a need is met, one. Two, we also see that
- 21:20the purpose of God for Israel is what? Is come
- 21:22to pass. Because there is Saul standing, and
- 21:25Saul is to be anointed as king. Over here. over
- 21:28Israel. Hallelujah. Samuel didn't need to fast
- 21:33and he didn't need to do any special preparation.
- 21:38Remember in verse 6, he says that in the city
- 21:41there is what? There is a man of God. I say this
- 21:46now to us. You are a man of God because you have
- 21:50the spirit of God in you. You don't need any
- 21:55special preparation when it comes to the operation
- 21:58of the gifts of the Holy Ghost. However, you
- 22:04just need to be conscious that you carry the
- 22:07Spirit of God in you. You need to be conscious
- 22:10that all the gifts and operations of the Holy
- 22:13Ghost are manifested through you. So when we
- 22:18say give a word for a sister, you don't need
- 22:21to go, ah, I have not fasted, oh, I don't think
- 22:24this thing will happen. Oh, no, I need to pray.
- 22:28I need to pray for like, maybe let me touch up.
- 22:31You know, I need to say this to us. When we say
- 22:34give a word and then. You go, you're not praying
- 22:45in tongues to turn up a locomotive engine on.
- 22:48You were not called and then it's tongues. It's
- 22:53almost like, all we need to say is, it's almost
- 22:55like when you pray in tongues, you are not trying
- 22:57to, you're trying to locate from heaven. Or you
- 23:02are trying to locate from one mysterious realm.
- 23:04Where is the word? Where is the word? And when
- 23:06you now do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, you say,
- 23:09brother, today, today there is no word. And then
- 23:13the next thing you now resolve to do is that,
- 23:15let's go to Psalms number 103. I think from Psalms
- 23:21number 103, there is a word there for you. It
- 23:23says, bless the Lord, O my soul. Brother, the
- 23:26Lord is saying to you that you should rejoice
- 23:29always. That is the word I have for you. I have
- 23:34seen many of us use scriptures to run away from
- 23:37giving the word. They say, give a word by the
- 23:41Spirit, and then you go, okay, can we go to Matthew
- 23:45chapter 6? When you now see Matthew chapter 6,
- 23:51you know, it's not now. He said, no, no, no,
- 23:54I think I'm missing it. I'm missing it. Let's
- 23:56go to John. Let's go to John. Let's go to John.
- 24:02Remember, I said it on Sunday, that the word
- 24:06of knowledge is not the profound knowledge of
- 24:10the Bible. It's solely depending on the Holy
- 24:17Ghost. To give you an information that naturally
- 24:22you will never have access to. And God is bringing
- 24:26this information because He wants to meet the
- 24:30need. He wants to guide. He wants to build faith.
- 24:33He wants to strengthen. He wants to bring the
- 24:35knowledge of His truth to that particular recipient.
- 24:40So you didn't see Prophet Saul will tell the
- 24:43Saul, Prophet Samuel, sorry. He didn't tell Saul
- 24:46and his servants, guys, wait, wait, wait, wait
- 24:48for me. Let me go up out to my room and then
- 24:51consult God. No, no, no, no, no. Let me say this
- 24:56now, having said all this, you can give a word
- 24:59by the Spirit without necessarily starting out
- 25:03praying in tongues. Oh boy, thank you, Holy Spirit.
- 25:08We can tap you and say, please, brother, can
- 25:13you give us a word? You know, we ended prayers.
- 25:20Our brother Takunda ended a prayer from Romans
- 25:22chapter 12. He said that we stay what? Fervent.
- 25:27Staying fervent means that I am always conscious
- 25:30of the Holy Ghost. Staying firm means that, let
- 25:35me use this word carefully for us, that I'm always
- 25:37charged when it comes to things that pertain
- 25:41to the things of the Spirit. So can we say, That
- 25:47there is a man of God somewhere in Yenikent.
- 25:49His name, or in Lefkosha, or in Kuchuk Kaimakri,
- 25:53his name is Ayomide Keinde, or Vivian, or Wino,
- 25:57or Lewis, or Caroline, or Mayowa, or Prince,
- 26:02or Mirakulamanda. There's a man of God somewhere
- 26:06in Hamidkoy called Mirakulamanda. If only we
- 26:11can meet her, we're going to hear the mind of
- 26:13God regarding this matter. and then they meet
- 26:18you, and then you give them precisely. The believer
- 26:28is operating by the Spirit of God. Hallelujah.
- 26:32Praise God. Yes, so we needed that now. So now,
- 26:36when we go to 1 Samuel 10, verse 1, 1 Samuel
- 26:4010, we will see another operation again of the
- 26:43word of knowledge from the prophet. You remember
- 26:50on Sunday from the teaching we learned that the
- 26:54word of knowledge will be about things that have
- 26:56happened or things that are happening now. 1
- 27:00Samuel chapter 10. 1 Samuel chapter 10. From
- 27:07verse... Okay, so that we will not do long reading.
- 27:13Can we start from verse 20? From verse 20. When
- 27:26you start reading 1 Samuel chapter 10, this is
- 27:27after he has met the prophet. He was going back,
- 27:30he met other prophets, and then he started prophesying.
- 27:33Amen? And then from there now, he now came back
- 27:36home. Then verse 20 now. And when Samuel had
- 27:39caused all the tribes of Israel to come near,
- 27:41the tribe of Benjamin was taken. We should not
- 27:46forget 1 Samuel chapter 10. Verse 20. The tribe
- 27:50of Benjamin was what? Was taking. And Samuel
- 27:53is from where? And Saul is from where? The tribe
- 27:57of where? Benjamin. Amen? Yes. So 21. When he
- 28:02had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near
- 28:04by their families, the family of Matri was taking.
- 28:08And Saul, the son of Kish, was taking. And when
- 28:12they sought him, they could not what? They could
- 28:18not find him. He could not be found. 22, everybody.
- 28:22Therefore, they inquired of the Lord further,
- 28:26if the man should yet come thither. And the Lord
- 28:31answered, behold, he had what? He had hid himself
- 28:36among where? Among the stuff. See 23. And they
- 28:42ran. and fetched him tents. And when he stood
- 28:46among the people, he was higher than any of the
- 28:49people from his shoulder and upward. And Samuel
- 28:53said to all the people, See ye him whom the Lord
- 28:56hath chosen, that there is none like him among
- 29:01all the people. And all the people shouted and
- 29:04said, God save the king. Hallelujah. Saul went
- 29:11and hid himself. You know, and they looked for
- 29:17him. They could not what? They could not find
- 29:19him. The prophet had to give a word of his location.
- 29:27You know, has it ever happened to you? Let's
- 29:30make it practical before we move on. You're looking
- 29:33for something in your house and then something
- 29:36is missing in your house. And then you go, Holy
- 29:38Spirit, please, can you show me the place? Can
- 29:40you show me the place? I see a couple of us are
- 29:44smiling. A couple of us are smiling. And then
- 29:47you just go and relax. Then after a while, after
- 29:52a while, you now hear inside your heart a voice.
- 29:56Check under the chair. And then you just move
- 30:01straight. And mind you, you have checked there
- 30:04before. In fact, you have turned everywhere.
- 30:07Side right, side up, everywhere. But then now,
- 30:09you know, after you just said, Holy Spirit, can
- 30:12you show me where it is, please? And then you
- 30:15go and relax. By evening, you didn't hear, can
- 30:18you check behind the door? And then you just
- 30:22move straight behind the door. And behold, what
- 30:25you're looking for is there. You know, you're
- 30:28not just... I don't know whether you either jump
- 30:33around or you smile or you... You know, it has
- 30:36happened to me several times. And then I will
- 30:39now go, this thing is working, oh. This thing
- 30:43is working. When I didn't know, now, I didn't
- 30:51know that it was the Holy Ghost. In secondary
- 30:54school, several times, if you have not lost key
- 30:57in secondary school, then you are a legend. If
- 31:00you have not lost your key in secondary school,
- 31:02with the key to your drawer, to your locker or
- 31:04something, then you are a legend. You must really
- 31:06be a disciplined person in your secondary school.
- 31:10But I've lost keys many times. But you know,
- 31:14because of even the location where our school
- 31:18is, it's inside a bush under the mountain, you
- 31:21can't lose a key and even bother looking for
- 31:23it. You just break the padlock or break the locker
- 31:26somehow. But you know, many a times I'll lose
- 31:30a key and I'll go... Please show me, Lord. Show
- 31:33me, Lord. Show me, Lord. I will walk down to
- 31:35the classroom and come up again. I will walk
- 31:37down. Then I will branch to the road that leads
- 31:40to the kitchen site. You know, as I'm branching
- 31:44to the... I want to see the key on the ground.
- 31:46I say, ah! This thing is working. Then... I would
- 31:50say this thing is working. But if you are here
- 31:53and you are hearing this, my voice now, it's
- 31:56not this thing that is working. It's the word
- 31:59of knowledge that the Holy Ghost is operating,
- 32:02is bringing to your heart regarding that particular
- 32:05thing. Praise God. So we see Saul, you know,
- 32:11hiding himself and the Lord exposing him so that
- 32:17he will be anointed. Okay. Glory to God. 1 Kings
- 32:2718 37. 1 Kings 18 37. The Lord had to snitch
- 32:34on Saul so that he would be anointed. 1 Kings.
- 32:431 Kings. Chapter 18. Let's see another scenario
- 32:52here. 1837. Are we all there? 1837. Hear me,
- 33:02O Lord, hear me, that these people may know thou
- 33:04art the Lord God and thou hast turned their heart
- 33:07back again. Then the fire of the Lord fell and
- 33:13consumed the burnt sacrifice and the wood and
- 33:16the stones and the dust and licked up the water
- 33:18that was in the trench. And when all the people
- 33:21saw it, they fell on their faces, and they said,
- 33:23The Lord is God, the Lord God is God. And Elijah
- 33:27said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal, let
- 33:29not one of them escape. And they took them, and
- 33:31Elijah brought them down to the brook of Kishon
- 33:33and slew them there. And Elijah said unto Ahab,
- 33:36Get thee up, eat and drink, and there is a sound
- 33:38of abundance of rain. So Ahab went up to eat
- 33:41and to drink, and Elijah went up to the top of
- 33:43the camel, and he cast himself down upon the
- 33:46earth and put his face between his knees, and
- 33:48said to his servant, Go up now and look toward
- 33:49the sea. And he went up and looked and said,
- 33:52There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven
- 33:53times. And it came to pass at the seventh time,
- 33:56he said, Behold, there arised a little cloud
- 33:58out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said,
- 34:01Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and
- 34:03get thee down. that the rain stopped thee not.
- 34:06And it came to pass in the what? Meanwhile, that
- 34:10when the heaven was black with clouds and wind,
- 34:13and there was a great rain, and Ahab rode and
- 34:16went to Jezreel, and the hand of the Lord was
- 34:18on Elijah, and he girded up his loins and ran
- 34:21before what? And ran before Ahab to the entrance
- 34:24of where? Of Jezreel. Right? Elijah is just coming
- 34:29out of a mighty, mighty display. Right? Good.
- 34:33So let's go to chapter 19 now. See chapter 19
- 34:37verse 2. Let's see chapter 19 from verse 1. And
- 34:42Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and
- 34:44with all how he had slain all the prophets with
- 34:47a sword. See verse 2. Then Jezebel sent a messenger
- 34:51unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me
- 34:55a more also, if I make not thy life. As the life
- 35:02of one of them. By what? By tomorrow about what?
- 35:06About this time. What she is telling Elijah is
- 35:08I will cut your head too. The way you cut the
- 35:11head of those prophets. And Elijah knows that
- 35:15this is not a threat. This woman was not bluffing
- 35:22around. She wants to take your head. She will
- 35:25take it straight. Then now. Let's now run down
- 35:35to verse 15. From verse 14, let's see Elijah's
- 35:44complaint. And he said, I have been very jealous
- 35:47for the Lord God of hosts because the children
- 35:50of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown
- 35:52down thy altars and slain thy prophets with the
- 35:55sword. And I, please pay attention to what Elijah
- 35:59is saying. And I, even I only, am what? I'm left,
- 36:06and they seek my life to take it away. And the
- 36:11Lord said unto him, Go return on thy way to the
- 36:14wilderness of Damascus, and when thou comest,
- 36:16anoint Hazael to be the king over Syria. And
- 36:20Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be
- 36:22king over Israel. And Elisha the son of Shaphat
- 36:25of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet
- 36:28in thy room. And it shall come to pass that him
- 36:31that escaped the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay.
- 36:35And him that escaped from the sword of Jehu shall
- 36:39Elisha what? Slay. Everybody see verse 18 now.
- 36:44Yet. So this is a news that Elijah is not aware
- 36:50of. In verse 14, Elijah said, I am the only one
- 36:55that is what? That is left. Yet I have left me
- 37:03seven thousand prophets in Israel, all the knees
- 37:11which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth
- 37:16which hath not kissed him. So he departed then
- 37:21and found Elijah the son of Shaphat who was plowing
- 37:23with the twelve yoke of oxen before him. And
- 37:26he with the twelve, Elijah passed him and cast
- 37:28his mantle away upon him. So God brought a word
- 37:34of knowledge to Elijah that he is not aware of.
- 37:40This is a man that is already complaining and
- 37:43shouting and saying, I am the only one left.
- 37:45All the prophets have been slain. And God is
- 37:50telling him, no, I have left of me. Now, current
- 37:56news. Now, Elijah, my prophet, listen. Presently
- 38:00now, in case you don't know, know this, that
- 38:04there are 7 ,000 other prophets that have not
- 38:08bowed their knees unto power. Praise God. This
- 38:15is so important. Then now, let's go to Elisha
- 38:27now and see what Elisha did. 2 Kings 5, verse
- 38:3121. So we see God speak to Elijah and tell him,
- 38:39no, no, no, no. In case you don't know, I have
- 38:427 ,000. In this same location where you are,
- 38:45there are 7 ,000 others that have not bowed down
- 38:48their knees. 2 Kings 5. 2 Kings 5, verse 21.
- 38:58So Gehazi followed after Naaman, and when Naaman
- 39:01saw him running after him, he lighted down from
- 39:04the chariot to meet him and said, It's all well.
- 39:07And he said, All is well. My master had what?
- 39:10Had sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be
- 39:14come to me from Mount Ephraim two young men of
- 39:17the sons of the prophets. Give them, I pray thee,
- 39:20a talent of silver and two changes of garments.
- 39:24And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents.
- 39:27And he urged him and bound two talents of silver
- 39:29in two bags with two changes of garments and
- 39:32laid them upon two of his servants and they bared
- 39:35them before him. I can just see Gehazi just shaking
- 39:39his head and happy like today. Yeah, finally,
- 39:41I've hit it. You know, in Hausa, there's something
- 39:47that we call Roman Bishara. The steel of ministry.
- 39:52Maybe you must have heard Pastor Victor use that
- 39:55word. In English, direct translation in English
- 39:59is the steel of ministry. It's like the benefit
- 40:02of ministry. Gehazi does not want the benefit
- 40:05of ministry to miss him. He had to run to Katov
- 40:09and see now. 24. And when he came to the tower,
- 40:15He took them from their hand and placed them
- 40:18in the house, and he let the men go, and they
- 40:20departed. But when he went in and stood before
- 40:23his master, see what Elisha will say. And Elisha
- 40:27said unto him, Whence comest thou? Gehazi, and
- 40:32he said, Thy servant went nowhere. And he said
- 40:46unto him, Went not mine heart with thee? When
- 40:52the man turned again from his chariot to meet
- 40:55thee, is it a time to receive money and to receive
- 40:58garments and olive yards and vineyards and sheep
- 41:01and oxen and maize? You see, Elisha was mentioning,
- 41:04Elisha was not there to see the things that were
- 41:07given to Gehazi. Praise God. He was not there.
- 41:14To see somebody who say, the spirit of the prophet
- 41:18is always following the servants. I don't know
- 41:20about that. But Elisha was not there. But Elisha
- 41:27told him, when's not my spirit with thee? Why
- 41:31will you say you didn't go anywhere? However,
- 41:34these are the things that you did. You did this,
- 41:38you did this, you did this. 37. The leprosy therefore
- 41:42of Naaman shall cleave unto thee and unto thy
- 41:46seed forever. And he went out from his presence
- 41:48a leper as wide as snow. So we see, we see Elisha
- 41:55being able to, or we see the operation of the
- 42:01word of knowledge in Elisha, right? To expose
- 42:04a wrong that Gehazi did. Amen? This is important.
- 42:11To expose a wrong that Gehazi did. So he was
- 42:26sitting in his own house and yet he was able
- 42:28to see the things that his servant had to do
- 42:32regarding the gifts that he collected. So we
- 42:38see him, he was lying. He was being hypocritical
- 42:42regarding what, you know, he was not supposed
- 42:46to receive. Because Elisha asked him, is it a
- 42:49time to receive these kind of things? It's not
- 42:51a time for it. Yet, God gone ahead to do that.
- 42:55So we see an operation there of the word of knowledge.
- 43:11And the king of Syria warred against Israel and
- 43:14took counsel with his servants, saying, In such
- 43:16and such a place shall be my camp. And you see,
- 43:19the king of Syria is making a plan far away from...
- 43:24And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel,
- 43:26saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place,
- 43:29for thither the Syrians are come down. And the
- 43:32king of Israel sent to the place, which the man
- 43:34of God told him and warned him of, and saved
- 43:37himself there, not once, not twice. Therefore
- 43:41the heart of the king of Syria was so troubled
- 43:43for this thing, and he called his servant and
- 43:46said unto them, Will ye not show me which of
- 43:48us is for the king of Israel? And who is among
- 43:52us? that is betraying us. See verse 12, everybody.
- 43:56And one of his servants said, No, my lord, O
- 44:00king, but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel,
- 44:06tell the king of Israel the words that thou speakest
- 44:12in thy bed, Shamba. Elisha is not with the king
- 44:20of Syria, yet we see God reveal the plans of
- 44:24the king of Syria against Israel. He brings the
- 44:31knowledge, the information now to preserve the
- 44:35children of Israel. Hallelujah. We see in John
- 44:43now, John chapter 4. In John chapter 4. John
- 44:50chapter 4. The next time we're going to do on
- 44:57the word of wisdom, I will give us more scriptures,
- 45:00extras. There are a lot of scriptures here that
- 45:02I have here that I will give us from the Old
- 45:05Testament to corroborate all this that we have
- 45:08been considering. John chapter 4. John chapter
- 45:164. Let's see John chapter 4, verse 7. Jesus answered
- 45:39and said unto her, If thou doest the gift of
- 45:41God, and who is it that said to thee, Give me
- 45:44to drink, thou couldst have asked of him, and
- 45:47he could have given thee living water. The woman
- 45:48said unto him, Sir, thou hast not it, draw it,
- 45:51and thou well, and the well is deep. And from
- 45:54whence then hast thou that living water? Art
- 45:56thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave
- 45:58us well of the well, and drank thereof himself,
- 46:02and his children, and his cattle? Jesus answered
- 46:05and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this
- 46:08water, shall thirst again. But whosoever drinketh
- 46:10of the water that I shall give him shall never
- 46:12thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall
- 46:15be in him a well of water springing up unto everlasting
- 46:17life. The woman said unto him, Sir, give me this
- 46:19water that I thirst not, neither come either
- 46:22to draw. Can you see where Jesus started the
- 46:25conversation from, right? He started the conversation
- 46:27from water, right? 6, 16, sorry. Jesus said unto
- 46:32her, Go call thy husband and come what? Either,
- 46:36please tell me. How is husband connected with
- 46:40water? The discourse was on water, drinking water.
- 46:48Give me water to what? To drink. But yet, because
- 46:52Jesus wants to establish something. 16, now,
- 46:56suddenly, 16, by the word of knowledge now, Jesus
- 47:01said unto her, Go call thy husband and come what?
- 47:20Now see what Jesus will go ahead to tell her
- 47:24now. Everybody now, verse 18. In the past, five
- 47:32husbands. And he whom thou now, that thou hast,
- 47:40is not even thy what? He is not thy husband,
- 47:44him that said thy what? Truly. Praise God. The
- 47:50woman said unto him, Sha, I see thou art a what?
- 47:56A prophet. Praise God. Then now, when we now
- 48:02quickly run down, Verse 39. Verse 39, everybody.
- 48:14And many more believed because of his words.
- 48:32because of his own words. So we see the operation
- 48:36of the word of knowledge is that people are being
- 48:43led to believe God. People are led to understand
- 48:49the plans of God, the purposes of God, the will
- 48:53of God. So when a word of knowledge, when you
- 48:57are giving the word of knowledge or a word of
- 48:59knowledge to a recipient, to a brother, to a
- 49:02sister somewhere, that people are led to see
- 49:05Jesus more. So the word of knowledge and all
- 49:09the gifts of the Spirit will lead people to Christ,
- 49:13will open the eyes of people to understand the
- 49:17purposes of God, the plans of God, the will of
- 49:21God. Hallelujah. The truth of God's knowledge
- 49:24and the truth of God's word regarding the matter.
- 49:31We see in John chapter 11 verse 11 to 21. After
- 49:37they met Jesus regarding his friend Lazarus.
- 49:40See what he said in verse 11. John chapter 11
- 49:43verse 11. This is said he. And after that he
- 49:46said unto them. Our friend Lazarus what? At this
- 49:52point, when they met him, Lazarus had not died.
- 49:55But he told them, Our friend Lazarus was sleeping,
- 49:59but I go that I may awake him out of the sleep.
- 50:03Then said his disciple, Lord, if he sleep, he
- 50:06shall do well. How be it? Jesus spoke of his
- 50:10what? Of his death. But they thought that he
- 50:15had spoken of taking of what? Of rest in sleep.
- 50:19So Jesus was talking about, you know, by the
- 50:22word of knowledge, he was talking about an event
- 50:25that is happening with Lazarus. When we now move
- 50:2814, they said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus
- 50:32is what? He's dead. Jesus is not in the location.
- 50:37He was never close in the location. But yet,
- 50:40by the word of knowledge, he was able to know
- 50:43what has happened to his friend Lazarus. Then
- 50:47we now see Martha in verse 20. Then Martha, as
- 50:50soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went
- 50:52and met him, but Mary sat still in the house.
- 50:55Then Martha said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hast
- 50:58been here, my brother hath not, what? Hath not
- 51:02died. But I know that even now, can you see belief
- 51:06again? Hallelujah. Can you see belief again?
- 51:10But I know that even now, whatsoever thou will
- 51:14ask of God, God will give it. What? Will give
- 51:18it to you. Praise God. So by the word of knowledge,
- 51:22Jesus was able to know accurately that Lazarus'
- 51:27friend had what? Had died. Praise God. He will
- 51:32not have had access to that. He would not have
- 51:36known. So naturally, some sort of information
- 51:40was to be sent to him. He would have received
- 51:45a message sent across to him regarding that.
- 51:48But by the word of knowledge, he was able to
- 51:50know. Amen? Acts chapter 9 verse 4. Or Acts chapter
- 51:599 verse 10. Let's go to Acts chapter 9 verse
- 52:0110. Acts chapter 9 verse 10. And there was a
- 52:13certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. Take
- 52:18note of that. A disciple. Amen. He's a believer.
- 52:21Named Ananias. Certain disciple at Damascus.
- 52:25Named Ananias. And to him said the Lord in a
- 52:28vision. Amen. Hallelujah. In a what? In a vision.
- 52:33Take note of that. In a vision. Ananias. And
- 52:37he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. And the Lord
- 52:39said unto him, Arise, go into the street which
- 52:41is called straight, and inquire in the house
- 52:43of Judah for one called Saul of Tarsus. For behold,
- 52:47he prayed. Now you see, the Lord is telling Ananias
- 52:52an information that is happening now regarding
- 52:54Saul. That Saul is what? Is praying. And has
- 52:58seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in.
- 53:02God is even telling him that Saul has seen what?
- 53:05A vision. Amen. He is telling, he is praying,
- 53:12and at the same time, he has also what? Seen
- 53:14a vision. Ananias in a different location, Saul
- 53:17in a different location. I said, come in and
- 53:20put his hand on him, and he might receive what?
- 53:23His sight. Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have
- 53:25heard by many of you. Many of this man, how much
- 53:28evil he had done to thy servant at Jerusalem.
- 53:31And he had authority from the chief priest to
- 53:34bind all that call on thy name. But the Lord
- 53:36said unto him, Go thy way, for he is a what?
- 53:39For he is a chosen vessel unto me to bear my
- 53:42name before the Gentiles and the kings and the
- 53:45children of Israel. For I will show him how great
- 53:48things he must what? He must suffer for my name's
- 53:52sake. Praise God. So we see God bring a complete
- 53:57knowledge to Ananias regarding the ministry of
- 54:00who? Regarding the ministry of Saul. Praise God.
- 54:03Hallelujah. That Saul will bear his name, Saul
- 54:06will do the work of ministry, and Saul should
- 54:09be anointed by him, should pray for him that
- 54:10he may see, and Saul is going to suffer for his
- 54:13name what? For his name's sake. Praise God. So
- 54:19Ananias had all these facts about Paul. Being
- 54:23revealed to him by God. All the visions that
- 54:30he has had. Amen. So we see him now in Acts chapter
- 54:369. Acts chapter 9 verse 4, verse 5, verse 6.
- 54:48Where Jesus met Saul on his way. to Damascus.
- 54:53Amen? Acts chapter 5, verse 1 to 4. Acts chapter
- 54:585, verse 1 to 4. We've read it, but let's also
- 55:02read it again. Acts chapter 5. Why had Satan
- 55:19filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Ghost and
- 55:23to keep back part of the price of the land? Whilst
- 55:26it remained, was it not thy own? And after it
- 55:29was so, was it not in thy own power? Why hast
- 55:31thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou
- 55:36hast not lied unto men, or unto who? But unto
- 55:40God. So, Peter had this information about...
- 55:46the arrangement between Ananias and Sapphira,
- 55:49his wife, by the word of knowledge. He would
- 55:55not have known. He was not in their house. He
- 55:58was not in their bedroom. He was not around when
- 56:00they sold the land. He was not around when they
- 56:02collected the money. He was not around when they
- 56:04shared the money, kept the other part to themselves.
- 56:07And then he was not around when they left to
- 56:09come and meet him to submit the remaining one.
- 56:13He was not there. So the Holy Ghost will bring
- 56:19into manifestation through you. An information
- 56:22that naturally should have reached you. But you
- 56:26are not within the location. You are not within
- 56:28the event. You are not within there. So God will
- 56:31bring that information. Acts chapter 10. Let's
- 56:38add these other scriptures. Acts chapter 10 verse
- 56:404. Acts chapter 10 verse 4. Acts chapter 10 verse
- 56:4917 to 19. Revelation chapter 1 verse 10 to 20.
- 57:06Revelation chapter 1 verse 10 to 20. John in
- 57:11the island of Patmos. Acts chapter 10 verse 4,
- 57:16Acts chapter 10 verse 17 to 19, Revelation chapter
- 57:191 verse 10 to 20, John in the island of Patmos.
- 57:26He was not in the churches. He didn't know the
- 57:29state of the churches. He didn't know their shortcoming.
- 57:32He didn't know what they had done. He didn't
- 57:34know what is happening currently. But yet, he
- 57:37was able to receive by vision their state. Amen?
- 57:42So when we come to talk about the word of wisdom
- 57:44properly, we're going to read all these places
- 57:48back again because there are some things that
- 57:50we need to see from there as relating to the
- 57:53word of knowledge and then the word of wisdom
- 57:55in operation. Amen. This is important for us.
- 57:59Praise God. So let's write this. How to receive
- 58:02the word of knowledge. How to receive the word
- 58:06of knowledge. How to receive the word of knowledge.
- 58:15The word of knowledge, please write this down.
- 58:17The word of knowledge and the word of wisdom
- 58:20can be manifested through various means in the
- 58:25believer. The word of knowledge and the word
- 58:29of wisdom can be manifested through various means
- 58:31in the believer. Pay attention to all the places
- 58:33that we've been reading. There is a manner in
- 58:36which they know the information. There is a manner
- 58:40in which they are receiving the information.
- 58:42Amen? So the word of knowledge and the word of
- 58:46wisdom can be manifested by various means in
- 58:50the believer. One. One. It can come to the believer
- 58:55through audible voice of the Holy Spirit within.
- 59:01It can come to the believer through what? The
- 59:05audible voice of the Holy Spirit within. Called
- 59:09an inner witness. Inner witness. Inner witness.
- 59:21It has come to the believer through the audible
- 59:23voice of the Holy Spirit within, which is the
- 59:25inner witness. And the inner witness, the inner
- 59:29witness comes as a knowing, comes as a knowing,
- 59:35comes as a prompting, comes as impression. Comes
- 59:47as a notch. It comes as a knowing. Comes as a
- 59:55prompting. Comes as an impression. And then a
- 59:58notch. You just know that this is what is happening.
- 1:00:07And you are getting the information from the
- 1:00:09Holy Ghost. A believer can receive the word of
- 1:00:15knowledge. Through a vision. He can receive the
- 1:00:22word of knowledge through a vision. He can receive
- 1:00:30a word of knowledge through a dream. Through
- 1:00:38a vision, through a dream, he can receive a word
- 1:00:42of knowledge. Through tongues and interpretation.
- 1:00:54Through tongues and interpretation. And the believer
- 1:01:01can receive the word of knowledge or a word of
- 1:01:03knowledge through prophecy. So all the gifts
- 1:01:15of the Holy Ghost. are working hand in hand together.
- 1:01:19They are working hand in hand together. In fact,
- 1:01:23we're going to establish that much more when
- 1:01:24we are talking about the word of wisdom. All
- 1:01:27these places, we're going to establish them well
- 1:01:29when we are discussing the word of wisdom because
- 1:01:31it's important. We're going to see how all the
- 1:01:34gifts are connected together and then they are
- 1:01:37manifesting all at operation in the believer.
- 1:01:45Is that clear for all of us? Good. So now, let's
- 1:01:53write this now. So, the word of knowledge will
- 1:01:57say enough facts. The word of knowledge will
- 1:02:02say or give enough information from the mind
- 1:02:07of God. The word of knowledge is the last thing
- 1:02:12now. The word of knowledge... Will give enough
- 1:02:15information from the mind of God to the believer.
- 1:02:28So that the recipient. So that the recipient.
- 1:02:35Can understand God's mind. Let me say it again.
- 1:02:43The word of knowledge will give enough information
- 1:02:47from the mind of God to the believer so that
- 1:02:51the recipient can understand the mind of God
- 1:02:56regarding the matter, regarding the event, regarding
- 1:03:00the need and etc. The word of knowledge does
- 1:03:14not come to harass or intimidate people or condemn
- 1:03:18them. The word of knowledge does not come to
- 1:03:23harass or intimidate people or condemn them.
- 1:03:46But rather, it comes to bring help to people
- 1:03:56in love. But rather, it comes to bring help to
- 1:04:02people in what? In love. In love. There is no
- 1:04:08harassment. There is no intimidation. There is
- 1:04:10no condemnation. But rather, the recipients enjoy
- 1:04:14help. from the Lord in love. Praise God. So like
- 1:04:21we said, that the word of knowledge is about
- 1:04:25what has happened and what is happening now.
- 1:04:29Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Yeah, so
- 1:04:34lastly, this is the second time I'm using lastly,
- 1:04:38but this lastly I'm using will have to do with
- 1:04:40us now. Amen. I wrote so many examples here,
- 1:04:45which I shared some on Sunday. I will point three
- 1:04:51people. I will point three people now on the
- 1:04:55platform, right? We're going to do practical
- 1:04:58now. That you have received a word of knowledge
- 1:05:01for someone, either, not necessarily, sorry,
- 1:05:06happening now on the platform, right? But previously.
- 1:05:11Right. In one of our meetings, catatismus or
- 1:05:14one of the meetings in the church during the
- 1:05:15prayer sessions or one of the teaching series,
- 1:05:18you know, and then you have received a word.
- 1:05:21An opportunity was given and then you receive
- 1:05:22a word for somebody. You gave the person the
- 1:05:25word by the spirit. Right. With all that we've
- 1:05:28learned. And then the person didn't only confirm
- 1:05:31it, but also after a few days, the person had
- 1:05:34to meet you again and tell you, sir, that word,
- 1:05:37Omar, that word that you spoke to me last week.
- 1:05:40Actually, this is, this, this, this, this, this,
- 1:05:43and that. Do you understand what I mean? Three
- 1:05:45people. Christopher Bull, number one. Christopher
- 1:05:59Bull, number one. Prince, number two. And then
- 1:06:06Nancy, number three. Christopher. Prince, and
- 1:06:11Nancy. Yes, Christopher, can you share one practical
- 1:06:15testimony? You give somebody a word, the word
- 1:06:17of knowledge. Thank you, sir. The recent one
- 1:06:25happened in this meeting we just had, Cypress
- 1:06:31Monday, where we, during the prayer session,
- 1:06:35we were grouped, and then we were asked to pray
- 1:06:39for each other. I think it was I, Jamelia, and
- 1:06:42then two other ladies. The other two ladies were
- 1:06:45not in any CF, but then I got word for the two
- 1:06:49ladies. But then I was now thinking, I actually
- 1:06:51shared it with myself. I was thinking that these
- 1:06:56people are not in any CF. They're not used to
- 1:06:59people telling them, I have a word from the Lord
- 1:07:01for you. So I was contemplating how I was going
- 1:07:04to deliver, and then I prayed more about it.
- 1:07:07So I had to type it in my phone. And then the
- 1:07:10one was sitting beside me, the other was sitting
- 1:07:12right behind me. Then the one that was sitting
- 1:07:16beside me, I gave her a word about her, you know,
- 1:07:19growing more in, you know, to give her prophecy
- 1:07:23and things like that. And then she actually confirmed
- 1:07:25me. And then also about the company she was keeping.
- 1:07:28Then the lady that was behind me, I saw her as
- 1:07:32though she was praying for the eyes of her understanding
- 1:07:35to be enlightened like two. the scriptures for
- 1:07:38her to be able to teach her family and things
- 1:07:40like that and she was somebody who was intimidated
- 1:07:43or so like that she didn't believe so much in
- 1:07:46herself so when I gave her the word through like
- 1:07:49the notes she actually typed it she was like
- 1:07:52this is actually what I came here for like this
- 1:07:54is the exact word that I needed. Hallelujah praise
- 1:07:59God praise God glory to God glory to God glory
- 1:08:02to God praise God. Hallelujah. So that was the
- 1:08:06word of knowledge in operation. There was no
- 1:08:09how he would have known certain information because
- 1:08:12they were just meeting in that location. They
- 1:08:17have never planned. He has never searched for
- 1:08:19any information about them anywhere. Praise God.
- 1:08:22Prince, bro Prince. He's not there. Nancy. Hello,
- 1:08:31sir. Okay, yes, we are hearing you. Okay, so
- 1:08:36the word I received was from a sister in the
- 1:08:41church. Concerning her, she joined the church,
- 1:08:46but she has not been a member of the church.
- 1:08:51So I received the word for her concerning her
- 1:08:54serving in the church and how the Lord has been
- 1:08:58bringing it to her. And also she confirmed it
- 1:09:01as well. Not just for me, she said other people
- 1:09:04from the church has also spoken to her about
- 1:09:06it. Okay, praise God. That was when she took
- 1:09:09the initiative as well. Ah, so she's serving
- 1:09:12nun in the church? Yes, sir. Oh, glory to God.
- 1:09:17Glory to God. Glory to God. Glory. You see, now
- 1:09:20we have two things happening here. We have the
- 1:09:22word of knowledge and we have the word of wisdom.
- 1:09:26All of them at operation together. We're coming
- 1:09:29to discuss that. And lastly, Nancy. Nancy. Okay,
