  Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning, God bless you.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Can you appreciate someone by your left and right, just
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: greet them this morning and tell them God bless you.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Let it be from the depth of your heart and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: minute when you say it, God bless you. Amen.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you again, sir, thank you for this great opportunity.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Please be seated. Everyone been so blessed already, just sitting
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: here and soaking in the glory from Dr.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Lumide Manuel session.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I just met a little just a fife or so minutes,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: and it was such an amazing time. And then the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: worship again made the Lord do us good this morning.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: In Jesus' name.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Again, I remind you that conferences like this essentially grant
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: us access to light, because in this kingdom we arise
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: and we shine only to the degree to which we
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: obtain light. It says, arise, shine, for thy light is
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: come and the glory of the Lord is riisen upon you.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: So when we're bankrupt of light, it is impossible to
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: be able to rise to that prophetic position.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: That God intends for us. Alleluyah.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I have profound regard and respect for any ministry that
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: invests in the teaching of the world, because the only
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: way believers grow is true the world, Alleluyah, And that
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: from a child thou hast known the Holy Scripture, which
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: is able to make you wise even.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Unto salvation, he says.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: And now I commend you to God and to the
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: world of his grace, which is able to build you
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: up and to give you an inheritance among them that
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: has actified. Allelujah, Praise the name of the Lord. So
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: yesterday we began to discourse two dimensions of Jesus Christ
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: that we said were important for the efficiency of the believer.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: We looked at Jesus as Savior, and then we looked
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: at Jesus as king just a two or three minutes
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: recap for the sake of those who are just connecting.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: And we said that there a number of differences in
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: those dimensions. For instance, when we deal with Jesus as Savior,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the entire work of Jesus as Savior is captured in
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: what we call the Gospel of Salvation, that is a
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: revelation of his substitutionary sacrifice towards man and creation.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And that when.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: We reveal Jesus as Savior, man is revealed as a
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: helpless person who is unable to attain onto a position
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: of righteousness by himself away together, Man does absolutely nothing
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: except to receive that which has been finished. But then
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: when we move to Jesus as King, the scenario changes.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Jesus is now not just someone who is going to die,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: is an exalted king seated.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: On a throne.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: And man is no longer the weak, helpless person, but
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: is number one a son in the kingdom, the son
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: of the king, and number two an ambassador away together.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: And we did say that.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: We have a twofold mandate when we discuss Jesus as king.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Number one our mandate to the king. We have an
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: obligation to the king. And number two we have a
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: mandate from the king to the nations. Are we still
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: together and we discuss that our mandate to the king
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: is complete loyalty, surrender, and obedience, as simple as it sounds.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: It will take the engracing of the spirit for you
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: to be able to do that, allelujah, to get to
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: a point where you can say, nevertheless, not my will,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: but yours be done. And I did tell us that
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: when we deal with Jesus as Savior, the gift is
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the same to everyone, regardless who you are.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: It is the gift of life eternal.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: From the worst sinner to the most self righteous person,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: you are given the same gift. But when we now
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: begin to discuss kingdom, there are rewards.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: You don't talk of rewards.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: When you deal with Jesus as savior, everything there is
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: a gift.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: But when you come to the kingdom.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: There are rewards, and that those rewards are according to
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the degree to which you are submissive. You are so
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: rendered and obedient. I was so blessed hearing doctor Lumi
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: de manuel discourse on Deuteronomy talking about obedience Deuteronomy twenty eight,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: for instance, from verse one and two, it says, it
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: shall come to pass if thou shalt diligently harken to
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the voice of the Lord that God, to observe and
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: to do all that I command you this day, that
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you shall be exalted above all the nations of the earth,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: and then that these blessing.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Shall come upon you and overtake you. There is a condition,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: he says, if you be willing and obedient. The Bible says,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you shall eat the good of the land. Every land
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: has good, but your portion is delivered to you at
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the instance of obedience.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Away together the creed the Lord. The modus operandi in.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: The kingdom is obedience.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: In fact, in one word, faith is defined as obedience
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: that means whatever it is that you do in this kingdom.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: If it does not translate to loyalty, surrender and obedience,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: then you are not going to get any reward in
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: this kingdom.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And you will impede your own growth.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: So I did tell us that there are rewards in
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: this kingdom, and then that we have our mandate and
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: obligation to the King, not just to worship him. Your
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: worship is simply an expression of loyalty, an expression of surrender,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: and an expression of obedience. Are we together now this morning?
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I want to discuss just to continue from where we're
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: left off, that we have a mandate.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: From the king.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: So when you meet the king, when you're done doing
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: business with the King, he leaves you with an assignment.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: He leaves you with a mandate from him to the nations.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: This is very powerful.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: So you know, responsible kingdom citizens, because any one of
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: them who claims are met the king will always live
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: with an assignment to the nations. There is no one
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: who meets the king. And just as well, I just
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: worshiped him. I loved the king. No, if you meet
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the king, there will be an assignment given to you.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: We call it different names. We call it purpose, we
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: call it kingdom advancement. But it is the mandate. This
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: is the desire from the heart of the king. And
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: like it was in Isaiah chapter six, when you read,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: the Bible says and the yeather king Osiah died. I
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Isaiah saw the Lord. Remember, he says that he was
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: high and lifted up. Then he began to describe that
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the train of his robe filled the temple. There's no
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: point discussing this, But in ancient times the royalty of
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the king was also seen by the extent of his train.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: So when he says the train of his robe filled
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the temple, it was an attempt to describe the extent
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: of majesty.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: And when Isaiah saw him, Isaiah broke down and said, woe.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Is me, for I am undone.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: He called himself a man of onclean lips, and that
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I dwell amidst the people of on clean lips.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: The Bible says one of the.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Seraphs took a life call and touch these lips, and says,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: your iniquity has been rolled away from you. And then
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: there was a call in heaven. He says, who shall
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: we send and who shall go for us? And Isaiah said,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: here am I send me? This one is not a
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: savior discussion. This is the King desiring that something be
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: done to the nations, and a man is availing himself.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Every time you see loyalty, every time you see surrender,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: and every time you see obedience, you will always see
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: power and you will always see results. Please don't forget this.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: It is a moduce operanding in the kingdom. If you
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: ever find power without loyalty, obedience, and surrender proceed and
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: preceding it, it is witchcraft. You can simply test the
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: genuiness of spiritual power by using the index of loyalty
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: to God, surrender to.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: The King, and obedience. If you find these.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Tripathite expressions preceding the manifestations of power and results, it
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: is authentic from God. It is impossible to have access
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: to genuine spiritual power that was obtained from the King
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: by his spirit.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: In the absence of loyalty, the.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Absence of surrender, and the absence of obedience away together Allelujah,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: praise the name of the Lord. So our mandate from
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: the king please write. If you're writing, our mandate from
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: the King is us as king now is to be
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: an extension.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Please rite.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Our mandate from the King is to be an extension
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: of his wisdom, an extension of his power, an extension
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: of his glory to.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: The nations of the earth.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: The Bible simply describes us with respect to the King
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: and its agenda, as ambassadors and as witnesses. This is
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: a very important concept.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: You must understand.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Our mandate from the King is to be an extension
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: of his wisdom, to be an extension of his power,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: to be an extension of his glory to the nations. Allelujah.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: This is what it means to be an ambassador. This
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: is what it.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Means to be a weakness.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Now, theologically speaking, believe us are classified twofold when we
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: describe believers. Theologically speaking, we describe believers number one according
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: to identity and number two according to function. When believers
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: are classified according to identity, the Bible uses descriptions like
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: airs of God.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Joint heirs with Christ? Are we together?
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: In John fifteen, he says I am the vine, and
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: ye are the branches. So when the Bible describes believers
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: according to identities.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: It seeks to show.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: The extent of our oneness with Christ, our union with God.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: But then the Bible also describes believers according to function.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: This is where it now begins to use descriptions like
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: you are the salt of the earth Matthew chapter five,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: from verse thirteen, and then it says you are the
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: light of the world. You see that now he calls
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: us ambassadors. He calls us kings and priests, according to
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Revelations five and verse ten, that we have been made
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: onto our God, kings and priests, and we shall reign
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: in the earth.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: The Bible calls us light and salt.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: When you read Matthew chapter five, Jesus teaching from verse
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: thirteen to sixteen. Verse sixteen says, so then let your
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: light so shine before men, that they might see your
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: good deeds and glorify your Father in Heaven. When it
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: has to do with the believers describe based on your function,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: you would see that God seems to be passionate about
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: believers producing a certain kind of results because he's been glorified.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Is tied to the excelling of the believers. For instance,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: in John chapter fifteen and verse eight, the Bible says, hearing,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: is my father glorified When ye bear much fruit? He says,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: so shall you be my disciples? Verse sixteen of the
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: same chapter that says, he have not chosen me, but
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I have chosen you and ordained you that you should
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: go and bear foot, and that your food should abide
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: or remain away Bible students. So he desires that he
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: be glorified every time there are results, every time believers
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: excel in the kingdom, when they become an extension of
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: his power and of his glory, all of the multifaceted
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: dimensions that are captured in the king.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Do you know the Book of Esther?
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: When you read the Book of Esther, the Book of
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Esther is a prophetic adombration, and adombration is a foreshadow
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: and acting of something that.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Will actually happen.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Away together, you notice that the reason why first he
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: was banished was because she forgot that her assignment there was.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: To be a reflection of the King's glory.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Now she had her own agenda, and it was customary
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: for the kings to flaunt their wives their treasures.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: And he now said that verr she would come and.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Present herself before his friends, and she embarrassed him, disappointed him.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: She had her own agenda, and the King, being a
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: good man, did not drive. He sought counsel from the elders,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: and they said, better drive this woman out of this kingdom.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: If you don't drive, she's going to create a pattern
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: that is inconsistent with your will. She will use her
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: influence to make other women to start doing that too.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: And the king hither to the advice and drove highway.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: This is an adombration. When Esther came, Remember Esther also
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: wanted to fall into that trap, and mother Caai reminded her.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: He said, don't forget that you were here with an agenda.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: She goes to meet the king, even though not invited,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: and by favor of the king, leaves the Golden Sense
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: and says, coming, what do you want. If she said
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I want your friend her Man dead, they would have
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: thrown her to But notice how she approached him. She said,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I'm here to flaunt your glory. I want to put
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: it celebration for you, to honor you. And the King said,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: this is this is exceptional, this is what I've been
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: looking for. Are you getting the idea. Now, I'm here
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: because of you. I want to serve you. I want
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: the nations to see the extent that you are king
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: over one.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Hundred and twenty seven provinces.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: And would you grant me the permission to invite everybody,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: including your very good friend a man. Are we together?
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: And so that celebration happened, and the king's glory was
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: so flaunted.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: He called her and said, repeat this again, repeat this again.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: When she had proven her loyalty, when the king was
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: no longer in doubt of her loyalty, she now met
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: him and said, I have a request, And he said.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Say it, whatever is your request?
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: You have certain now, I mean it's not easy finding
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: a woman like you.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Now that I have secured your trust, what do you want?
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: He said? There is a man who is my people.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Who is that her Man? Ah?
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Her Man is my friend, but you are my wife.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: What do we do now? And the Bible says a
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: very wise king He entered the guardian to think. You see,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: and when the rem of the spirit is against you,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: he now came to beg hand. The man came and
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: caught him. The king caught him around his wife. I say,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: on top of what I was discussing, I've seen you
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: doing No, you are you are, you are? It's over
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: for you. He was begging, how did I get here?
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I'm discussing I went together. But you get my point
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: now that in this kingdom you see this christianity of
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: always approaching him. You're the line of tribal He knows
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: that you are just pitting around the bush and said, God,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I'm here again.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: This is my issue.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: You said that you are not you are blind. You
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: are powerful, but it looks like you are not.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Seeing you see.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Those kinds of Christians never go far. But there are
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: people who step in and Lord, I am available. I'm
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: here for you. You use the wisdom of Esther and
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: the moment listen, listen, the moment the King sees inexperience
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: that your heart and your life is all about his agenda.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: There is nothing he will not give you, including the
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: things you did not ask for. This is a powerful secret.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Our mandate, listen, is to be up and about becoming
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: extensions of the King. Many of you here this is
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a ministry that is very strong
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: and empowerment, especially financially. I know that many of you
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: here own businesses, let me ask.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: You a question.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: When you want to downsize for whatever reason, what is
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: the chief parameter that you will use in downsizing people?
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Inefficiency? Am I right on that?
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: If you have a staff structure of say fifty people,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: and for whatever reason you want to downsize and take
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: away five or ten people, if you are fair and
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: just and honest, you will use the index of inefficiency.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Who is in this company who has been taken from
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: us and does not look like your contribution is significant?
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: And you may have to relieve them? Is that true?
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: All lie want.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Is for for you to be glaified, for you to believe.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: All lie want.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Is for you for you to be big glawifie, for.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: You to be believed one more time. All lie wand.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Is for for you to be longified, for you to believed.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Listen, there are people who donate themselves willingly and say
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Lord for any reason. You are looking for a man.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: I may not seem like much, but one thing you
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: can count on me is that I am available. You
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: would see weak and ordinary people, but there will be
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: mighty people that God will use. And sometimes you wonder
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: and add everything and the equation does not add up.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Because you see whoever is committed to serving the purposes
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: of the king is the one who seeks his interest.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: There are no biases.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: He loves everybody, but is only committed to those who
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: are sincere and available.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: To serve his purposes.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Now, this is the dimension of the kingdom that many
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: believers do not know, and so many believers do not
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: know that the king himself has a desire. The king
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: himself has an agenda. Have you ever tried serving a
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: rich man?
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Wh rich man?
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: In our world today, when a rich man says I'm tasty,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: you will run with your own money. You will not say, sir,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: can I have the money? You wrong me, because you
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: know what you are doing. Even if you're a businessman,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: you will run with your own money and warn buy
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: it and serve him. Because if that man reaches into
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: his pocket, he will bless you according to his riches,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: not according to what you have done. He will bless
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: you according to his perception of what you have done.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: That same man can look at.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: You and say you're a responsible gentleman. What do you do? Say?
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Well, you just managing see me tomorrow and that's the
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: end of it.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, So those who look like they are great in
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: this kingdom are not great because they earn anything in themselves.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: They are simply people who have become foolish enough to listen,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: not just to reach for the hand of the king,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: but to reach for the heart of the king. What
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: is it that you desire, Oh God, listen, even in
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: a word today, I hope I'm blessing someone, even in
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: a world today, When you find someone who is not
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: after your money or your influence, but it's genuinely after
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: your heart, it almost becomes a charmlike relationship. You find
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: out that that person may even be your househelp, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: you get closer to that person, sometimes even than your
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: physical children. When you want to give some money to
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: keep you love your children, but you suspect that you
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: can't take them to polication, you can't sue them to
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: cut and they're aware. So you now trust somebody. Come,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: my dear daughter, can you keep this from me? And
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: now sometimes they wonder and say, what kind of unfair
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: thing is this? We are the children of this man,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: and yet he's trusting this person. Because in this kingdom,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: you see, when God loves everybody, but it does not
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: trust everybody. Trust is not an importation. There is a
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: track record of faithfulness. The Bible says more rover, it
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: is required in stewards that a man be found.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Faithful is someone learning. This is very important.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: So when it comes to fulfilling the desire and the
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: mandate of King Jesus, please everybody listen.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: The king has an agenda and.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Every responsible citizen who wants to see power, wealth influence.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: I did tell you yesterday, and let me remind you
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: again that everything that flows from the King to the
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: saints is with respect to his will. Do not forget this,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: the prosperity that flows from the King to you. That's
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: why there is a difference between wealth and kingdom wealth.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: There is a difference between wisdom sofia, natural human wisdom
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: and divine wisdom. Every thing that flows from the King
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: to the saints has a mandate to honor his will.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: With or without God.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: You can use the law of value and all the
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: laws that you have been taught here, and you can
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: access some level and measure of wealth. But there are
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: certain things you cannot take away, like the sorrow component.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: But it is the blessing of the Lord, my Bible says,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: that make it rich and can extract away the sorrow component.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I way together everything that flows from the King to you.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I remind you again was supposed to empower you to
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: fulfill his will. Low I come.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: In the volume of the book, even Jesus said, to
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: do thy will, not to do my agenda. Jesus was
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: very vocal as to the fact that his entire journey
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: on earth was to do the.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Will of the Father.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: In that simplitude that you work upon the earth, and
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: you say, I have no agenda of my own, that
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: everything I find myself doing.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Is to bring joy and to bring.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Satisfaction and fulfillment to the King, to the Father, even
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: to Jesus.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Are we learning this morning?
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: So the Bible calls us ambassadors, the Bible calls us witnesses.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: There's no time to do this discussion. I have a
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: brief session this morning. But then it's important for you
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: to know that an ambassador does not promote his own agenda.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Any ambassador that is called promoting his own agenda will
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: be punished from the mother nation. Is that true? There's
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: the US ambassador in Nigeria. There are many embassies in Nigeria,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: and when you get into the US embassy, if you
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: were blindfolded and they open your eyes, you will not
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: even know you're in Nigeria because the entire the physical
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: space was designed to reflect the mother nation. They do
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: not pay the staff in the US embassy, at least
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: the ones who were brought in. They do not pay
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: them in Nirah because there's none of their business with
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: the economy of the nation happening there. They are still
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: in touch. Are we together?
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, this is very powerful. They are there to promote
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: the interests. They love you, but they are there to
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: promote the interest of the nation that sends them.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: So you must carry this mentality that I am on earth,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I am in Legos, but I am here.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: As an ambassador.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: That means everything that concerns Jesus.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Is my business. You don't have to invite me.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: The moment you mention Jesus and his program, I am
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: automatically invited.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: So anywhere I see seiners, I am invited. Are we together?
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Are we learning? Now?
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you three things and then I tell
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: you three other things and we're done.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: The program of God. Please write this down.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: God's Kingdom advancement program is threefold.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I want you to listen carefully, God, This Kingdom advancement
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: program is threefold. Is it all right?
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: If I define for you my concept of kingdom advancement,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: will that be fine? I define kingdom advancement as every
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: and any scriptural mechanism that is deployed to enthrone Christ
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: and his purposes in the hearts of men and then
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: across every strata of human activities.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Let me take it one more time.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: I define kingdom advancement as any and every scriptural mechanism.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Any and every scriptural mechanism deployed. Are we together to
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: enthrone Christ and his purposes first in the hearts of men,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: then across every strata of human activities? This is what
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: we call kingdom advance So every time we say kingdom
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: advance in simple terms, we're talking about the deploying of
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: every scriptural method that ultimately leads to the enthroning of
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: the Christ in the hearts of men, then across the cosmos,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: across every strata of human activities.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Are we together? Now?
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: And then I'm saying that that kingdom advancement we call
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: it different names. We call it that Kingdom Come, we
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: call it Kingdom Advancement program, or others even call it
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: God's end time agenda. You are saying one and the
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: same thing, and that it is divided into three. Number one,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: please write the first dimension of God's program. If you
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: really want to please God, if you really want to
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: spend your life serving the King, these are the three things.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: That your life should be about. Are you ready?
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Number one World evangelization? Please write World evangelization. This has
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with whether you are an evangelist or
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: called into the fivefold ministry. The Great Commission was a
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: mandate that was given to everyone by the King himself.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: He did not mandate a prophet, so you can't say
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: the prophet slept or for God or prophetess died. In part,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: it was Jesus himself that commission and brought the agenda
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: of the Great Commission. Are we together world evangelization? What
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: does that mean? The harvest? In simple terms, bringing nations
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: to the obedience of the faith. That anyone who finds
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: himself right now participating in any scriptural way to make
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: the world this harvest, this agenda of God of world
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: evangelization come to pass. I can assure you you have
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: secured the backing of the King.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Number two.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: What is the second? Can dimension of kingdom advancement. Are
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: you ready the equipping and the maturing.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Of the saints.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: The equipping and the maturing of the saints. That means
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: that through your contribution, you help the Church, the Ecclassia,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: the body of Christ, to become men and women of
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: stature and knowledge. If someone learning, whether it is through
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: a book you write, whether it's true your giving, whether
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: it is by setting up a local assembly, whether it
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: is through your labor and love in doctrine, whatever contribution
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: you make that can help believer us attend to a
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: point of stature and maturity. God so desires for his
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: church to be matured that even after his finished work,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: he gave gifts to men. He gave some apostles and profits.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Are we together and evangelists and pastors and teachers? Efficients
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: are the four says why He says for the equipping
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: the maturing of the saints, that the saints now machron
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: will do the work of the ministry to the end
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: that all of us will come into a complete man,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: the fullness of.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: The stature of the measure of Christ.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, not tost to and fro by every
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: wind of doctrine and the slight of men wearing the
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: light to deceive. So God desires that the church, because
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: the Church is the only instrument he has to beath
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: his purposes. And if the at head be blonde, there's
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: going to be a lot of energy that is dissipated.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Are we together look at the first potential army that
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: King Jesus has on earth? But not much is accomplished
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: because most believers are still babes. It took twelve men,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: many taught by Jesus himself health, and they took their
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: world by storm. There were one hundred and twenty in
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: the upper room when the Holy goes fell, and ladies
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen, from one hundred and twenty people, a half
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: vest of three thousand people came in one night.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: And from three.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Thousand people they grew until they became a threat to society.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: But what formula did they use? Acts Chapter two and
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: verse forty two. I will show you how the church grew.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, and they continued testfastly in the apostles
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: doctrine A were together and in fellowship, and in breaking
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: of bread, and in prayers.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Take note of these four things.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: The three thousand that were saved were not just left
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: to go home. They continued testfastly in the apostles, doctrine,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: and in fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: and those ordinary people became mighty men from city to city.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Every time persecution came, it only multiplied the effect, and
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: they scattered to cities, to the extent that when Paul
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: was in prison, he was not interested in his release.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: He was interested in a note pad and a pen.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Right from prison, he will say, I'm in prison, and
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I've heard that some of you are deviating from what
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: I've spent my time teaching you.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Let me assure you I'm coming back.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: And when I come back, can you imagine Look at
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: the mentality of such a man.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: They killed him.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: He came back to life too important to die. Not
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: just claiming I shall not die. He proved it with
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: his life. A man in prison, in prison, your prayer
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: should be to come out, not Paul. Paul was in
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: prison and with shorts have we not written to so
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: every time they came to visit him, how are you saying?
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Lived that issue? My desire is the king? And God said,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: what kind of man is this? Are we together? So
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: when you talk about the great apostle Paul.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: It was not just that it was in his destiny
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: to write to third of the New Testament. There is
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: no prophecy in the Bible that prophesies that the man
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Paul who right to third of the New Testament. It
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: was the degree of his loyalty, his availability.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Are we together now?
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: That multiplied that kind of grace that even the Pitter
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: and the other apostles they had. They first rejected him,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: but later on they said, listen, we can't fight this man.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: We are not stupid people.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: We were mentored by God, but we have seen a
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: level of sacrifice and discernment. They had to extend the
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: right hand or fellowship to him. That means in this
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: conference there are people who are supposedly ordinary, who came
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: from a family that does not seem to have any pedigree.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: But by your submission and your loyalty to the King,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: you will tauch something in the spirit that will elevate
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: you in a way that you will become a wonder
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: and a marvel to your world. It is true, this
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: is how men rise. The desire of the King for
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: me to leave his Christ, he says, and to die
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: is gay can you imagine that at the seventh of
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: his apostolic ministry.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say, that.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: I may know him, not that I may be great,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: not that I may have more things, that I may
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: know Him and the power of his resurrection. Out of
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: the twelve disciples, there was one who survived anything out there.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: They did not even know what to do with him.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: They threw him in the isle of partners. He's called
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: John the Beloved, not jaund the annointed, not John the Powerful.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: When all the other virtues fail, love remained.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: The one who chose to love, not just to use God,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: was the one that fire could have no power over.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: They threw him. According to Bible history, in boiling oil,
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: he refused to ball. So the people just didn't know
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: what to do with him. And do you know what
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: it means to try to kill somebody and he does
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: not die? And they threw him and left him there.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: That's how he wrote the Book of Revelations. Ladies and gentlemen.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: When you read from scripture the lives of these men
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: and women, he was not just that they were uniquely
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: isolated like that not all of them had the election
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: of grace. There is the concept of the election of grace.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: What you see there are many people who, through availability
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: and the genuiness of their loyalty, they have attained onto
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: states and levels in the spirit that men will look
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: at them and be dumbfounded. An example of such a
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: person was Elijha. The next prophet was never supposed to
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: be Elijah after Elijah because ethically the prophet who come
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: from those who was mentoring. He had a school of profits,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: so the next prophet should come from there.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: But he found a man who.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Was loyal, he found a man who was surrendered. When
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: he found a man who was obedient, he received a
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: double portion. You can see that evil with men, this
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: same principle applies are way together. That means the major
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: reason why it looks like God cannot do much with men.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you it's not your background. It's not the
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: kind of courses that have surrounded you. It's not true.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Is that God is yet to trust your loyalty. God
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: is yet to trust your submission, your level of surrenderedness,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: and God is yet to trust your obedience.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: I can tell you.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: From scripture, and respectfully speaking, I can tell you from experience.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: When God finds a man he can trust you become
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: a wonder to your world. You may have heard me
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: say many times that the Lord told me many years
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: ago and said, son, if you will let men see me,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: there is nothing that will not give you.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: And I believe this with all my Are we together
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: if you will let men see me? Now watch this.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I give this example the last
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: time I was here, or any of the meeting you
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: may have listened to.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not dropping my bible here. My Bible is here.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: So the center of attraction is the top of this pool?
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Peter, Am I right?
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: But is it really true that you can look at
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: the top without looking at what holds it? This is
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: King Jesus, this is you. The goal is not to
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: be the point of attraction. The point is to focus
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: on him, that.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: The world will see him. But it's impossible.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: This thing is standing here only because of the deficiency
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: of this That means if Jesus wants to be lifted
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: higher on earth, it's not only him that rise, whoever
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: is holding him and the banner will also rise.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Are you saying how it works? When your life is committed.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: To bringing glory to the King, he lifts himself by
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: lifting you.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: He's called the reflection principle.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: You find that in John seventeen and verse one, Jesus
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: was praying.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Now, the Bible.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Records that he lifted up his eyes to the heavens
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: and he prayed us give us John seventeen and verse one.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Here's what he said, Father, the hour is come.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: He said, glorified thy son, that thy son may bring
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: glory to you.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Listen again.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Glorify thy son, Glorify Joshua Salman, glorify Calvary, Bible Church,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: glorify your family, glorify your lineage. Only that you get
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: glory back. But here's what a lot of us do.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Have you watched little children who beg you. They come
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: and say mommy, daddy, and they point their hands, and
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: when you drop maybe something and you say give me back,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: they hold it back.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: That's what a lot of people do.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: So we use fasting, we use prayer, we use all
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: kinds of things to say, Lord, I've been waiting, Send
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: this power, and then God will anything God gives you initially,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: it's not all he intends to give you. I can't
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: tell you. God never gives you all he intends to
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: give you at once. It is not how the kingdom works.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Everything he gives you is a test. As much as
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: that money was when you received, it is still a test.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: So ten million came because you cried and said you
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: were a kingdom financier.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: And he tested you, and he watched you for one month.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Nobody knew where you went. And God kept crying like, Adam,
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: my son, where are you?
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Where are you? Where are you?
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: I don't see you in my presence again, I don't
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: see you in my house. God is calling you, men
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: are calling you. And then when he's finished, you come
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: back and say, God, I'm here again.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm not.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: My love for you has not changed, but we need
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: to do something with this trust. This is what is
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: responsible for this balloon success. You see that people rise
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: up and then just calm down because they do not
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: know that you maintain your stand with the king by
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: remaining ever trustworthy. Ever he gave one five talent. The
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Bible is full of the character of God, that when
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: you study, you can learn God he gave one five talent,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: he gave one two talents, He gave one one. That
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: means he has more than thirteen or more than eight.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: If he gave one five he gave one two, he
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: gave one one. It meant that he had a treasury
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: that was a lot more than that. Then the Bible
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: said he went on a long journey and left them.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Then he came back. Look at the character of God.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: You would think, because he has so much, you will
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: not come back. When he fed, the people say, God,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: at the crimebs, I don't waste. Let them go. But
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: guarded what would he do with the crimes when he
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: could multiply it. The one who had five was a
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: faithful steward. He went about doing his business, made five more.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: The one who had two brought two more. But the
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: guy who had one. You see, he went to bury
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: his talent. You bury seeds, not talents. No, you multiply talent,
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: you refine them. But you went to one bury the talent,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: and it did not grow because it was not a seed.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: And when he came back, he called all of them
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: and said, all right, you are stewards, not owners. So
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: give me your stewardship. Oh I had five, I've gotten
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: five more. He said, you have passed the test. The
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: goal was not talent. I want to give you authority
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: over nations. I told you yesterday that when God gives
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: you authority over things, it is the least level of
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: spiritual authority that you can command resources. You can command
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: the material world. Believe me as mighty as that is
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: that the least level of authority.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: When you show.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Faithfulness in that on righteous Mammon, then He will commit
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: to you the true riches of the kingdom away together.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: Now he will grant you access to the hearts of men.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: When God gives you authority over men and over nations,
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: like Gideon, you will sound the chauffeur and tatty three
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: thousand people will come because you have authority. See these
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: rankings in the spirit have physical expressions.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: You can know who is standing where.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: And the greatest authority the Bible records that can be
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: trusted to man is authority over God's program. It's it's
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: like pastor traveling and he calls you and he says,
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: for the next I want something to happen, an empowerment
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: program to happen here, and you are in charge.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: That is a level of trust. Indeed, are we together?
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: So for many of us here, we have not yet
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: come to a point where we realize that the king
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: has a need. And before we start talking of issues
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: of purpose and the rest. My assignment is to bring
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: you to a point where you find out that the
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: creed of the kingdom is your loyalty, your surrenderedness.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: And your obedience.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Please do not forget this in the name of Jesus,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: do not forget this.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: For as long as you live.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Any time you see God using a man and a woman,
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: not just a ministry, in any dimension of kingdom, exploits
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: at all. I want you to know that behind every
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: thing you see, the greats, the glamor of the fail
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: is a man who has fulfilled that condition of surrender
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: of loyalty. And I assure you by God there is
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: no amount of prayer and fasting, there is no amount
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: of religious activity that will replace. In fact, all of
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: them should walk together to lead you to a place
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: of loyalty surrender. There are many people who pray, there
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: are many people who first, but the level of rebellion
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: against the king. That's why you find out that people
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: sometimes they submit, They can even read their Bible. Sincerely,
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: they can go unlock themselves somewhere, and respectfully speaking, at
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: the end of it, they return back with familiar spirits.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: Because before your activity is accepted your heart condition is
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: the greatest thing God looks at. God is not carried
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: away by your tears. He's touched, but moved by the
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: sincerity of your heart. This heart condition vetos. Your Bible,
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: study it, phittos, your prayer it pittos. You're coming to church.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: If your heart is not right, you have no business
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: with the King in this kingdom, no wonder.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: The psalmist will say, Try my heart, is that true?
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Try my heart, test my thoughts, and says, if you
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: see in me any way that is wicked, purge me
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: and bring me to the way everlasting.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: King Jesus.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: Now let me just tie this and then we'll find
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: somewhere to pray. To be an effective ambassador or to
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: be an effective witness, there are three stages you must
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: pass through. Please write this down. This is now proper
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: discipleship to be an effective ambassador. God is preparing you
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: now to release you to your world. To be an
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: effective ambassador an effective witness, there are three levels that
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: you must has to non negotiable. Number one transformation. This
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: is the first level of dealings that you must go through.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Seasons of intense transformation. When you want to know the
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: power of transformation. You have to study insects. An insect
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: transits as we know from egg lava, am I right
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: on that trooper and then adult is the same insect.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: But the insect cannot what the egg can do. The
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: lover cannot do what the lover can do. The proper
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: cannot do. It is the full grown adult insect that
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: can fly and do a lot of things. That means
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: within the same insects are possibilities, but he has to
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: change states to be able to manifest them. Within the
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: same you is the ability to take the healing anointing.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: Within the same you is the ability to be a billionaire.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Within the same you is the ability to be a
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: leader over nations in politics and governance.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: But not this version of you.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: So when God comes to you and says follow me,
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: that begins the process of transformation.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: Are we together now?
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: The King demands that you come as you are what
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: you are, not used as you are.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: You come as you are what you are made. He's
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: a maker.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: Please listen. There are many people praying prayers that cannot
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: be answered at the level they are. It becomes a
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: risk to the body of Christ. If the prayer you
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: are crying for is being answered, Lord, I pray that
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: you give me one billion, and God.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Says I can't give. And a giver it is the
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: signature of Father who to give.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: But this level of you, with the flesh that is alive,
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: with the fleshly and comberances, is going to be very difficult.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: You cannot be trusted.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: You see, most believers do not understand that transformation qualifies
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: you to manifest deeper things in the spirit. Transformation qualifies
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: you to manifest deeper things in the spirit. It is
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: not as though God does not want to use many people.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: It is not as though God does not want to
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: lift people. Like Pastor said earlier on, there are no
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: grandsons of God. We are all sons in the kingdom.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: But you see, our possibilities depend on our extent of transformation.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: So the Bible says it this way.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Romance, Chapter twelve and verse one.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: It says, I beseech you therefore by the messes of God,
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: that he offer your bodies, present your bodies onto God.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: A living sacrifice.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: He says, only unacceptable onto God. He calls it your
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: reasonable act of worship. Let's go to verse two. Verse
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: two says, and be not conformed to this world is
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: the Greek word aon that thinking pattern that comes with
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: the system. That means there is a way that the
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: world thinks. There is a way that the cosmos that
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: is under the influence of the Antichrist spirit. I hope
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: you know that the Antichrist spirit is what powers the
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: Antichrist system, and that the Antichrist system has a way
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: that they think. And it says, do not be confirmed
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: to this world, but be it transformed by the renewing
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: of your mind, and that you will be able to
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: of God. Philippians, chapter two and verse five. It says,
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Jesus.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: He did not just excel because he was the son
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: of God. He excelled because there was a mentality. This
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: is the value of mentorship, the value of doctrine, the
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: value of discipleship. That you begin to receive a new
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: orientation that is consistent with the Word of God. Now
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: we come from different cultures, we come from different societies,
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: we come from different exposure levels, different sociological contexts.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: But when we come to the Kingdom, watch this.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: This is why God sends a teaching priests like your
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: man of God. What is his assignment to begin to
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: help you, to bring you methodically to a place of understanding,
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: to give you a kingdom mentality.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Do not forget this. It takes a kingdom mentality to
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: command kingdom exploits.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: It takes more than a sincere desire a kingdom mentality.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: Daniel eleven under started to be. But the people that
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: do know their God. The Bible records it says they
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: shall be strong and they shall do exploits. You know
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: what that means. Please look up. There are three levels here.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: It says number one knowledge the people that do know
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: It starts with knowledge. Then the second level is transformation.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: They shall be then exploits. They shall do so knowledge, transformation,
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: and exploits. If someone learning. The first level you must
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: pass through is the level of transformation. And it takes
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: a long time to be transformed. Because there are many
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: age old ideas about God, about life, about satan, about wealth,
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: about poverty. You see that the process of transformation is
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: not something that happens in a weekend. It takes a
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: long time. God has to now give you a new orientation.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: My question for you this morning, Please look up. What
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: do you believe about God? What do you believe about Satan?
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: What do you believe about poverty? What do you believe
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: about wealth? What do you believe about failure? What do
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: you believe about success? What do you believe about death?
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: What do you believe about life? What do you believe
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: about yourself? What do you believe about your destiny? The
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: answer to all this is captured in mentorship and discipleship.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: It is the assignment of the teaching priests to now
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: begin to ulfill the new you in light of scripture?
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Are we together so that when you have spent two, three,
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: four or five years in church, it's not just the
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: names of church members you should know alone.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: You should understand the ways.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: Of God, the modus operandi of the Kingdom, with the
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: precision of our next part, to the point that when
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: you see someone you can simply diagnose the person's situation
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: using the reference of the knowledge you have gotten in Scripture.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: So if someone comes to you and says, look, nothing
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: is working in my life.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: I mean completely, no favor, no open doors.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: As a believer who has been properly and taught, you
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: should know how to attend to that person and it's
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: not just let's pray.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: Based on what you were taught.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: Diagnose this situation even as I'm saying it. Now, use
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: your mind to diagnose the situation. What would if someone
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: comes to you now says I cannot sleep. There are
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: all kinds of spirits oppressing me. I wake up in
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: the morning more tired than I was before I slept.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: What will you do?
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: Don't answer, Just think so that even if you are wrong,
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: at least you don't feel bad. Mog what is going
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: to be the scripture? So remember you're born and you
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: want to go to the nations. Now here is a spressman.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: What are you going to do? You will be surprised
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: how that many believers the only thing they know is okay,
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: let's pray further.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: You see this situation help the person in Jesus name.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: That's a very sincere approach.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: But the Paul says, he that strives for mastery is
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: not crowned unless he strives lawfully. You can attain to
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: a point of mastery the same way. When you come
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: to meet a consultant. While you are shouting and say, sir,
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: I had a pain and then joined pains, he's just
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: smiling at you, and sometimes he may not give you
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: the kind of attention you want. You can even be angry.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: I'm talking to you about my says I already know
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: what is wrong with you, and he's not lying. He
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: will write a prescription and say return back, rejoice in.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: After five days they two, you call him and say
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: nothing as say you just keep doing what I actually
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: to do. By day five you are running around and
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: saying thank you, sir. That's why I make consultant respect.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: The years of sacrifice. Is someone learning, but many believers
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: are not able to provide solutions because we are not transformed.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: We are not transformed, we have not submitted ourselves to transformation.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: In one minute, let me request that you lay your
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: hands on your head and cry to the Lord God
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: of Heaven, Father, I contend for transformation beginning from this
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: conference in the name of Jesus.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Is someone praying.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: Lay your hands on your head and decree and declare
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: that every thought line, every thought process that is inconsistent
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: with the values of the kingdom, inconsistent with the will
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: of the King, that it will live your life now
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: and live your life forever.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Wrong.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: Cultural ideas, wrong, sociological ideas, ideas that came from sincere
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: people who may not be godly.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: I like you to pray.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: If you truly want to be used by the King
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: to fulfill the agenda of the kingdom, there has to
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: be a season of transformation. Pray one minute in Jesus'
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: might siname, we pray. Please look up now, respectfully speaking,
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: transformation that I talk about is not just technology color advancement.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: I think I need to tell you what my idea
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: of transformation is, your change, which is consistent to the
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: character of Christ. So you can travel and go overseas
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: and return with another idea, which is still an Egyptian idea.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: You are not transformed.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: You were only enlightened as far as secular enlightenment is concerned.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: Because when we talk of transformation, I'm not just talking
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: of moving from a typewriter to a phone.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking of just from typing to swiping.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: No, that is important, But I'm talking about the character
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: of the kingdom, the modus or randi of the Kingdom
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: now being embedded in your mind together, so that your
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: first response to life and its challenges is as prescribed
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: by Scripture.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: This is what we call transformation.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: So many people are becoming Western, but not becoming kingdom
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: minded or scriptural. You can take someone from a village,
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: and respectfully speaking, take someone from America Europe.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Put them together.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: From a technological standpoint, there will be East and Western
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: part but from a cosmo standpoint, they're only in the
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: same place because they will be tested with respect to scripture.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: The second level very quickly so that we wrap up
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: is empowerment. I told you that becoming an ambassador or
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: becoming a witness that serves the purposes of the kingdom
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: demands that you pass through this phase of number one transformation,
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: number two empowerment.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: Why is empowerment necessary?
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: We'll talk more of that month that in the evening
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: you cannot fulfill. You cannot achieve the agenda of the.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: King in the strength of the flesh.
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: The strength of the flesh cannot achieve the purposes of
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: the kingdom. No, you are contending against forces of darkness
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: that are determined to one of the program of God.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: Jesus himself said, I will build my churches that in
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: your Bible and.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: It says the gates of hell.
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: So the gates of Hell were recognized and acknowledged by Jesus,
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: they are still at work functional. If God lives you
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: now and you are the person who will rewrite the
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: narrative of your store of your family, I assure you
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: that Satan is not going to fold his hands and
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: watch you.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: You need empowerment. Empowerment.
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: Say onto God some sixty six and us three, how
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: terrible are dow in your ways? It says, through the
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: greatness of their power, shall their enemies submit themselves. The
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: disciples were already transformed, but Jesus told them tarry.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: You already have what to say. You know what to.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: Say, but you are not aware of the contentions that
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: to be coming against you. Listen, believe us, especially if
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: you are calling to the fivefold ministry. Here I submit
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: to you that by all means, no matter how enlightening,
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: you who are sick shuing empowerment before you become a
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: casualty to yourself and to the body of Christ. You
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: have no idea of the activities of darkness that happen
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: daily to bring down anybody who names the name of Christ.
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: It takes power to remain.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: If you are called to be a kingdom financier, it
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: takes intelligence, value relationships, to have resources but the Bible
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: says strong men retain wealth.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: It takes strength to retain lasting wealth. Are well together.
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: Most people lack strength that if you turn aside in
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: the day of battle, the spiritual diagnosis is that your
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: strength is small.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: Empowerment.
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: It's a secret that I learned early ministry, and it's
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: an aspect of my life in being a weakness and
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: an ambassador that I do not joke with because I
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: realize that to birth, the purposes of God with respect
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: to the assignment is committed to my hands is power dependent.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: Power dependent, mummy. It takes power more than compassion to
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: raise children that the devil will not hijack. It takes
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: power to take care of five children plus.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: You know how it is in.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: Africa, fifteen orders that are connected to you. They don't
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: know you, but as you rise they will find you.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: They will say I look related to you, and they
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: investigator and say I'm truly related to you.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: Away together. Nobody takes care of himself alone in Africa.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: You are joking. You just don't know the Storyboy.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: Keep rising, you get to a point where everybody starts
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: coming to greet you and say we answer the same surname.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: There has to be a connection. Say power one more time,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: say power. You add the man of God. You would
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: tell you it's taking power to get to this point
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: and this face in your life, and even in ministry,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: it's taken power to move. And the value that God
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: has given him to serve the body of Christ is
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: not just intelligence. He would tell you some of the
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: challenges that the devil will want to bring. There's someone here.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: You're a business man. There's someone here.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: You're a man of.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: God, and you think only takes to excel his sincerity.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: I'm introducing a power component for you. This world lies
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: in wickedness. It is a fact that someone can get
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: up and say, why are you the one rising? Why
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: are you the one doing well? What if you find
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: yourself in a corporation where you are the only Kingdom person,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: not just the only Christian, but.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: The only one God can depend upon. It takes power.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: It takes power, the knowing power you need, empowerment.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: And I believe that in the course of this conference
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: before it is in the name of Jesus' power from
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: on high will rest upon someone and you will say
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: that that is the missing factor in your business. Your
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: store already has all the products, but no power. So
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: you find out that you are deficient in many ways.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: You're a man of God. It takes power to command results,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: results that will compel the nations to bring glory to
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: the name of the Lord. Beyond the excellency of speech,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: there must be a demonstration of power that the faith
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: of the people will not rest upon the wisdom of men,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: but upon the power of God.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: Are we blessed? It takes power to be rich, no wonder.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, thou shall remember the Lord that God
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: Deuteronomy eight eighteen. For it is he that giveth thee
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: the power to get wealth.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: Why would God man power and wealth?
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: You should talk of power and sickness, or power and
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: the miraculous.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: And he uses power for.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: Wealth, the power to get wealth. For the Bible says, Accept,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: the Lord builds the house.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: Are we learning? I'm wrapping up? Accept?
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: The Lord builds the house. The Bible says, they labor
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: in vain that build it.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: Accept.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: The Lord watches over the city, said the watchmen watch it,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: but in vain.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Please listen to me, He says.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: It is vain to wake up early in the morning
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: and to sleep late at night. Only to eat the
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: bread of sorrow, he says, but he give it.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: His beloved sleep.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: So if you find yourself struggling in your Christian experience,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: struggling to command results, and do you know, you know
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: that you need empowerment when you have knowledge, but the
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: grace to defend what you know is not there. So
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: you keep saying a lot of things that are correct
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: but cannot be proven.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: You have enlightenment, but no power.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: For instance, Jesus can heal, Jesus can deliver, Jesus can restore.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: You are right now the sitcom but the power to
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: make your speakings come to pass is not there, you see.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: And it's dangerous to speak without the power to demonstrate
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: because in the Kingdom believers must hear and see. If
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: you say the Lord is good, they most see that
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: the Lord is good.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: If you say the Lord prospers.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: This is why people are tired of church, because they
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: have been hearing and not seeing. And chapter eight, from
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: verse five, the Bible says and Philip preached Christ in
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: sam Aria, and the Bible says verse six that the
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: people gave heed with one accord hearing and seeing, hearing
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: and see.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: It's not just to indefinitely.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: Keep hoping that the Lord is you can taste and
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: see that the Lord is good, that you can say
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: I came to this church. I was down on my rent,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: my children, and as I kept hearing the Man of
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: God teach and releasing that grace. Look what my life
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: has become now, do you know? Let me tell you
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: the truth. A personal witness with the results is powerful.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: When they healed, the manner did beautiful.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: When the Jerusalem counsel someone Peter, he went with the
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: man who was healed to stand close to him, and
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: they said, we don't have any charge. There's nothing we
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: can tell this man. For many of us, the reason
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: why our territories cannot submit to the governing influence of
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: the king is because they respect the truthfulness of our speakings.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: But the power component is missing. And unfortunately, our idea
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: power is so missing in the body of Christ that
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: we have reduced our idea to power to just falling down.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: So the moment someone falls and is justified that I'm
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: annointed doesn't matter what you think about me again and
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: not being ssarcastic, but it is really funny and laughable.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding? So when something hits you and you
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: fall down. Is that power? You know what power is?
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: The ability to fit to the current realities of men
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: and rewrite their destinies to be consistent with the will
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: of God.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: That is power.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: That you can look at a man who came to
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: church now, and that person by evening he will be
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: locked up. And you stand and in the name of Jesus,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: you create a climate of faivor that in two hours
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: what that man has not gotten in one year comes
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: to him. That is power, tenuine power. Look what Jesus
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: die tend leir pass. And he says, stand up, go
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: and show yourself to the priest. The Bible says, as
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: they wept, miracle began to happen. There was embarrassment that
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: was imminent in a feist. Are we together now? And
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: he said, don't worry. I'm here. I can solve that
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: embarrassment once and for all. And then fill six spots.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: He said, go and serve the rulers. That was the
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: end of it. One time he went to Peter's house
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: and the mother in law, who should help them, was
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: sick and not the embarrassment again, and he went and
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: held their hands and lifted her. Listen, ladies, and gentlemen,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: if you are a businessman, the day you carry power,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: you can place that contract on the ground and lay
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: your hands. You have been sending an empty paper with
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: ink on it. That's why people are rejecting you the
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: day you add power. I know what I'm saying. Don't
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: you think I'm just doing Pentecostal talk. No, the power
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: of the Holy Goos is a very missing component in
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: the body of Christ. It's the reason why we keep
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: talking about so many things.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: You see now.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: Many people are getting to a point where they said, listen,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: we're tired of church. And the hablist is saying I
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: am an alternative. Social media is saying I am an alternative.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: All kinds of religions are saying we are alternatives. We
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: can't tell believe us to stop going to habilists and
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: stop going to shrines until we offer an alternative that works.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: Some of us have loved ones who are trusting God
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: for healing. Some of us are being grounded by all
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: kinds of demonic forces. And it is so painful to
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: see a Christians who loves Jesus with all their heart,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: and their love for Jesus is known to all, but
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: they never move forward. That is a bad description of Jesus.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: And the devil likes such people. So when you fanca
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: his sister who's faithful in church, a brother who is saving,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: they tie down their destiny so that it becomes a
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: portrait that misrepresents God. That is the assignment of power.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: The assignment of power is to rewrite that narrative that
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: the brother you were laughing at and say, look at
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: these charge people he rejected bribing his office. You would
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: have been a billoonere right now by just signing your signature.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: But in the name of some christient things you said
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: you will not compromise. And then the God of Heaven
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: comes and lifts you. Do you know what it means
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: when God's people are lifted? It is a very strong
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: message that even encourages other believers.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: Am I right on? That led me two more minutes.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: I'm going to request that you lay your hands one
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: more time and say, Lord, where my life has been
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: bankrupt of power?
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: In this season? I insist, and in this conference I pray.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: The power components that is required to represent your power hoses,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: not just in ministry. I'm not just talking of power
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: to heal the sick, power.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: To go forward, power to go.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: Forward in spite of the economy, power to make progress
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: in spite of the wickedness of man, power to make
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: advance men, in spite of tribal sentiments.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: Open your mouth and pray.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: Pray on behalf of your children, Pray on behalf of
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: your spouse.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: Devils, brand's kabadesh. Hey, my yata, someone pray.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: The power to prosper, the power for signs and wonders,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: the power to raise, the power that brings influence, commanding, chenuine, consistent,
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: ever increasing kingdom results for the sake of his majesty
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: and for the glory of the king.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: Ly. Yeah, keep praying. You have won the be so.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: If that is true, must show in your life hardly.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: Lou Uh, you have one or for me, Dad could
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: not hold you down. You are the reay. You're seated
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: in my chesty.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: Listen, please look at me, Please look at me.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: I'm wrapping up, but my spirit is so fired of
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: Just listen to me, sah. Do you know without humility,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: I have prayed for people who have brought charms and
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: brought all kinds of the money things and said are personal.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: I'm tired of this and sometimes I asked them, why
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: did you get this? And they say, in my sincere
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: desire to rise tired, or it's not like I'm an
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: evil person. But someone called me and said, listen, if
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: it is finances you want, it's not going to work
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: by all this grammar.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: You better come and receive something.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: And some of those people, and honestly, some of them
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: would tell me that when they received it, for a while,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: it was like something just happened and they started sorry
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: before it backfired. There are dimensions in the spirital where
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: the power of God is introduced to your life and
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: it turns you into a wonder a wonder what is
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: there about building a house that everybody is almost becoming
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: a thing of mockery.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not being stupid.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: God knows that with your background, by the time you
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: contend for transformation, if the only thing you have is transformation,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: you will talk a lot of good things in your
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: life till people begin to mock you. What are the
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: twelve steps to an exceptional financial life? Or I've learned
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: from doctor Lomide Manuel. All of you sit down and
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: you give an intelligent lecture. Are you seeing that? And
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: at the end of the lecture. I'm not mocking you.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: Everybody comes out and you are seeing tricking. You are
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: the one who spoke smart tests transformation, but no empowerment.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: There are many people like that when it has to
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: do with the educational dimension of transformation.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: Don't come near them.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: They will speak, and what they're saying is not a lie,
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: but the grace to make it happen.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: There is something called the power of performance.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: It says, blessed is she that believed for onto hrt
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: there shall be a performance. People teach on favor, serious
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: on favor, but you do not see it in their
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: lives at all. He said that which we have seen,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: that which we have heard, that which our hands are handled. Listen,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: I'm taking our time this morning because I sense God
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: is speaking to someone that if all you do is
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: to keep talking, your family members may die in your presence.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: And you keep watching them and you are saying, Jesus saves,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: they're getting sick. Jesus saves. Their health is detorior rating.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: Oh Jesus heals, They're still getting sick.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: It is the absence of power.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you, when when power comes there, you
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: will lift them up.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: Then, say Jesus heals, they will prosper. Then you say,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: Jesus lives.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: The gospel was never supposed to be communicated bankrupt of power.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. It says,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: for it is the power, not trust. The discussion the
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: power devils Yata. You may be a man of God here.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: This may be why your ministry is grounded. Restore the
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: power component. You are speaking the truth.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: You are not with dial.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: You are a sincere person. But for God's sake, don't trust.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: Say what God can do. Prove what God can do
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: with your life. This is a generation of everydence, someone
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: praying one minute, Lord, bring every dance to my life,
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: every dance to my Christian periods.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: Bring, oh no.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: My life with such a testimony, Bring globe into the
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: name of the Lord.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: The name of Jesus.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: Lord.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: The results are not surprised. The results are not your self.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: Agrandice you glory in the name of Jesus, in Jesus name.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: Watch this.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: Do you know how many times Jesus kept saying he
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: would die and come back to life.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: Was he lying? But when he was in that grave,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: everybody kept quiet.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: They forgot everything he said and everything he said did
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: not matter until the third day.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: If Jesus did not come back to.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: Life, even you would reject everything he said with all
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: the I love you Jesus, who are saying today you
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: only love him because his resurrection give you the boldness
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: to say he's not a liar? Am I right on that?
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: Imagine if Jesus was still in the grave and he said,
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: don't worry, I'm still working on it after two thousand years.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: You just believe, and somen profit comes and says, look,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: I spoke with the spirit of Jesus.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: He said, it's in hell. He's almost there, just for
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: the door to open.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: The doors not really open very well, will you self,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: social God, Let's be honest.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: It is not difficult to take the gospel.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: It is the proof to demonstrating our fathers, many of
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: them who have joined the crowd of witnesses today, men
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: like Maurice Sorrowlow, men like t.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: L Osbrown.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: They went to nations and they brought a message. As
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: at the time they were prishing, everybody was watching them
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: like this.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: Oh that's where even waiting for them to finish. So
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: they killed them. But when the power.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: Come upon and came, let power come upon your business,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: and you watch what your life becomes. Let power come
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: upon your family. Let power come upon your goals and
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: your plans. Somebody shout Send power Lord one more time,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: certain power Lord, say for the last time, Power.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: Lord, please low pull your mouth and pray. Send power to.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: My life, your power to my destiny, power to my ministry,
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: power to my finance industry.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus. Lord, sender your power.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: Lord, in the name of Jesus, we crime for your power,
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: We cried for your torture.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: In the name of Hallelujah. Lord, sender your power.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: Let me give you the last key apologize for stretching us.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: Number one transformation to be an ambassador. Number two empowerment.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: The third I just mentioned it may not have time
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: to discuss. The third is purpose purpose. As much as
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: we have shouted power now, power is only useful when
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: it is within the jurisdiction of purpose. Purpose is now
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: where God begins to unveil to you. The role that
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: you have to play as an ambassador. Carrying power and
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: running away with it is like a high tension wire
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: that is not coordinated. You're going to kill people. Are
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: we together now? The beauty of power is that it
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: is channeled accordingly. It powers your freege. Are we together?
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: Imagine if there are all kinds of wires in your house,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: all carrying lights, and then they're all dangling from your
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: parlor to your kitchen. By mistake, one who touch your
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: head and shock you, by mistake one who touch your
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: hand and shock you. If you want to charge your phone,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: you look for two wires. And is that a good
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: way to know it?
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: Is that that power is well coordinated.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: They move it two walls, They channel it properly so
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: that you get to a.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: Point where by the.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: Time you plug your recharge or you switch on your TV,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: your freege, you see everything walking in your house. It
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: is not just power that brought it. It is power
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: that was directed to purpose. Imagine someone who kicks a
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: car and fires on one ache and just rest his head.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: That is power manifesting a speed, but not channel towards
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: a direction.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: So let me tell you.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: Because this is now the carelessness of my generation of ministers.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: We have contended through fasting, prayer and doctrine for power,
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: but we have not managed ourselves with purpose. So there
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: is a lot of excess, you know, misbehaviors and all
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: kinds of things people do with power, especially the prophetic
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: and the apostolic ministry, respectfully speaking, all of this mismanagement
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: because there is so much power looktop, but there.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: Is no purpose.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: When you contend for power and you do not have purpose,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: it's almost as if you were explode. So there are
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: many things. They will call you to come a race offering.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: You will talk for one hour and PROPHESI am Pridge
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: and say this and say, look, I know it's just
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: a faible, just allow me. And the people are saying,
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: what kind of indiscipline is this is? Because until you
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: find purpose, purpose is what gives value to empowerment. So
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: all this power you have given me a lord to
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: what end? And he says, I have given you the
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: power to prosper. Now you have ten billion coming, Parannon.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: That is too much money for your personal life. I'm
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: telling you. You will think that it's small, But use
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: ten billion for yourself again and again you will see
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: that there is a kind of problem. Only that kind
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: of money brings to your life. You will solve the
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: problem of luck and want, but the problem of wickedness
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: and thiefs and distrust. So the ten billion is coming
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: because God expects that you will know the purpose, that
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: no crusay should happen around you without your seat going
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: You see, so the more you are channeling that money
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: to purpose.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: You will see that as it is coming, it's not
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: killing you.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: That's why a river flows on hinder, But by the
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: time you put a blockade, the water starts building and
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: it will now float somewhere and even destroy the home.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: Many believers in church, and I say this respectfully speaking.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: To even servants of God.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: While we are training young people in church, let's create
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: channels for that river to flow. If not, when somebody
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: who say, for instance, is in a youth class and
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: you are teaching the person and the person becomes so anointed,
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: so powerful, and the only thing he's doing is cleaning chairs,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: there will be trouble in that church because that level
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: of power is too much for that assignment. You see
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: what causes a lot of trouble. And the guy is
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: boiling and there's fire rushing.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: In his bones. He does not know what to do.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: The next thing, you go to one member's house and say, listen,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: I can I do a Bible study with you. It's
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: not just rebellion, it is that power must be channel
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: to purpose.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: Are we learning? Now? I have to stop here.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: Let's pray, Father, we thank you for this morning, this afternoon.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: We bless you for helping us and showing us messy.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus, I decree and declare standing
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: on the grace of the Man of God. And I
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: pray that God, who has shown us messy now in
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: the name of Jesus, who continue to show us messy,
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: we will experience tremendous transformation as we submit ourselves to learning,
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: submit ourselves to doctrine. In the name of Jesus, I
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: declare that there will be empowerment upon our lives to
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: defend everything we claim the King is able to do.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: And finally, I declare that God will reveal to us
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: with precision the purposes that are connected to the power
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: that He releases upon us. In the name of Jesus,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: made the Lord bless you, made the Lord increase you
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: in Jesus' mighty and we pray.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 4: That's why I come post back. Let me look at
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 4: the time. Okay, so let's reduce it to forteen minutes. Okay,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 4: so let's do forteen minutes mark.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 4: Please have yours said, okay, ah, so many questions. Thank
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 4: you apostle for being a blessing. Okay, so let's see
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 4: some questions. Okay, I think I've seen two of these,
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 4: so let me just start with that. Okay, two people
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 4: asking the same question. You said to a position, God's
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 4: advancement program is threefold word evangelism, equipping and matural in
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 4: the saint that you did not give us number three.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: So the second pany.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 4: Say opposed to the third aspect of God's Kinna advance
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 4: web program was kipped. So that means their following. So
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 4: what's number three?
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, my apologies.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: The first, like I said, is world evangelization, second is
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: the maturing of the saints. The third is societal transformation.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's right.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: The third is societal transformation where the transformed individual who
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: noun together with the body of Christ is now transformed,
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: can now change and transform society.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Okay.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 4: The next one says, opposed to Joshua, when you have
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 4: diverse of purpose? Okay, okay, how do you go about?
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 4: It's a I don't know where maybe diverse or purpose.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: I think I understand what the person is trying to say.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: It is well, it depends on your idea of purpose,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: because purpose should not be confused with lens, talents and
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: instruments that help you and giftings to fulfill purpose. When
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: you enterre a house, there is always a master door.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: There may be other doors in the house, but you
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: access through a master door. So the most important thing
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: I defined purpose as the role that you have to
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: play in the big picture of God's program, right, so
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: you most This is why mentorship is very powerful, because
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: it helps you to be able to weave your ambition,
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: your creativity and everything into a single assignment. I was
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: I was sitting there and watching beautifully as you were
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: showing the different arms of expression in this ministry.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: Now, the ministry has a central theme. Is that true?
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: That that that summarizes all that God has mandated doctor
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: Lumide to achieve. But you see that there were very
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: many arms of expression captured in all the programs that
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: you hold. So for that person, our advice number one
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: that you seek guidance to enlighten you, so that we
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: bring together all your area of giftings and then you
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: must be able to use them to serve a very
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: particular point. I'm sure you were taught about the Seven Mountains,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: and you're familiar with them.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: The seven mountains.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: Represent the spheres of influence that controls the mind and controls.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: Activities in our world.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: And so what you call your assignment is simply the
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: role you have to play in one or more of
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: these seven mountains. For further study, let me refer you
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: to a number of books that your Man of God
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: may have written as touching purpose?
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: Or you go to the bookstore and get Dr Miles
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: Monroe's book God's Big Idea that will help you to
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: unlock the subject of purpose.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: Thank you?
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 4: Okay, I want to try and focus more on the
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 4: questions they're asking you. I'll probably take my own tomorrow
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 4: if there's so that can take yours. So this one says, okay, mine, okay.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: If someone.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 4: If someone always sees himself sitting under a particular Man
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 4: of God's teaching conference and the man of God also
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 4: praying for him in a dream, and the same persons
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 4: do see himself in a dream casting out demons, and
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 4: yet it's not experiencing.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: This in the physica. What could this signify? Put out dream? Now?
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: Very since her question, well, it's not unusual to see.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: Now, remember that God his method has always been men
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: as far as reaching people. So it's not unusual to
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: have dreams and visionary counters where you see maybe a
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: man of God you respect and honor, praying for you,
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: ministering to you. God is simply revealing to you that
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: there is a dimension of himself that He committed to
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: that man of God that may be necessary.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: For your overall profiting. It doesn't necessarily mean to leave
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: your church and go to that man of God.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: Not necessarily, you see, because that would produce a lot
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: of rebellion. It's important to be planted where God has
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: kept you. However, with proper pastoral guidance and counsel, you
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: can explore. God can help you to explore the particular
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: materials from that man of God that may add up
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: for your profiting. It's like a student who is studying
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: in the university. There are courses that are called electives.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: Is that true?
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: And sometimes you may need to go to another faculty
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: entirely to outsource one or two courses, But that does
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: not deviate you from what you are studying. We together
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: so that you are having dreams praying for someone and
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: waking up and it not happening. That is natural thing.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: It is stimulating you to know that that can be
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: a realm of reality if you work in keeping with
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: certain conditions. Joseph had a dream he saw himself exalted,
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: but that was not the case, so he needed to
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: go through all of the dealings that will ultimately lead
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: him there. The good news is that at the end
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: he got there. So for whoever submitted that question, my
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: charge for you would be to submit yourself to prayers, mentorship,
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: the word you know, fellowship, and you'll find out that
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: you begin to grow and evolve to the person who
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: can manifest the things that you've seen in your dream.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: I hope that helps God. Guess you how do I
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: get healing on my eyes?
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 4: For the more I pray, the more I guess was
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 4: And I've been through a lot of hospitals and many
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 4: people have prayed for me. What can be responsible for
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 4: this delay in my healing?
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: Thank you?
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: The healing ministry generally depends on the hearing of faith.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: Every time the Bible talks about the healing ministry of Jesus,
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: as we learn, it always goes hand in glove with hearing.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: So sometimes as much as believers have access to God
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: for the reasons that I have taught here, you may
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: not yet have accessed that level of grace and experience
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: to administer that healing for yourself. And so conferences like
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 2: this give the Holy Spirit and allowance to use vessels
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: he as annointer to also reach out to you on
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: that way. So, for whoever that person is, come tonight
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: with your heart open, expecting that the power of God
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: will tauch you. But know this for certainty that the
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: healing ministry is still valid and Jesus is still in
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: the business of healing.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: God bless you.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 4: My question goes to impost to sermon, how can I
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 4: release surrender?
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: We spoke about what does it really entail?
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, surrender broadly has to do with what number one,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: dying to self. That means you get to a point
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: where Jesus Christ and his purposes become your highest obsession,
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: your highest priority, and nobody can truly surrender by himself.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: You just give God the chance and the allowance to
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: dethrone every other thing that is not God in your
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: life together now, So surrender is a cumulative of many
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: theses and many processes of dealings with God. Where you
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: become alive to righteousness and dead to yourself the impulses
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: of this world, materialism, and all the things that seem
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: to distract the believer. So it's not just a one
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: off things that happens. Surrender is an ongoing process. Paul
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: says it this way. He says that I die daily,
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: so that is the process of surrender. But ultimately, the
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: goal of surrender is to get you to that point
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: where Christ and his purposes are thrown owned at the
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: epicenter of your heart. That does not mean you will
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: not focus on any other thing, but that when it
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: has to do with Christ and its purpose is nothing
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: else is exalted above it. So that has got idea
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: of surrender. Ali lujah.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 4: Okay, there are many questions around the same theme, but
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 4: I think it's been if you listen to them many times.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 4: You need to understand that you need to listen to
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 4: a message over and over again onto the world becomes flesh,
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 4: because most of the time the questions you're asking are
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 4: things that have already been dealt with, so many of
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 4: them are around. I'm always weak in the spirit. How
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 4: do I stay strong in the spirit? How do I
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 4: maintain power for my spiritu work growth that these attitudes
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 4: that have been taught. So but generally the theme is
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 4: around how do I keep that fire going as a believer?
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, so that's a very good question.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: I think most believers do not know how to sustain
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: their spiritual fire. Spiritual growth and spiritual match have a
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: very definite pathway that leads there. Number one is the
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: Ministry of the World. Two scriptures I will give you.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: You may want to write them down. Number one acts
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: chapter two, from verse forty two to forty seven, where
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: we read earlier that they continued steadfastly in their apostles, doctrine,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: and in breaking of bred fellowship and prayer. And then
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: the second is asks chapter six and verse four. It says,
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: To the Ministry of the World.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: So essentially believers grow and mature to the extent to
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: which they encounter the world of God, and they submit
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: themselves to the ministry of prayer. But then corporate fellowship
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: like this word believers can be mentored, is a very
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: powerful platform to be able to grow the believer.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: You must.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: Well, let me ask for permission, and if your pastor allows,
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: let me, please recommend a teaching for you that you
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: want to listen, Equipping the Saints.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: Equipping the Saints.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: You can find that on YouTube at the permission of
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: your pastor. I say that because I teach there on
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: the training pathway of the believer. For instance, I say
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: how that your prayer life is not going to be
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: rich until it is systematized.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: Randomly praying does not lead you to progress.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: You have to create a system around your prayer life,
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: and then your encounter with the world. There are three
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: things we do with the world in order to be
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: matured by it. Number one, we study the word. Number two,
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: we hear the word, because faith comes by hearing. And
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: then number three we speak the world. So when it
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: has to do with the ministry of the world, we study.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: Your mind is involved, your hearing is involved, your speaking
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: is involved. And then of course corporate fellowship. I was
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: glad when they said, unto me, let us go to
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: the house of the Lord for the persons seking maturity.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: Do not downplay prayer, do not downplay the study of
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: the world.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: The word there extends to materials.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 2: I saw that there's a bookstand, and if I'm right,
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 2: I see that there's a bookstand there too, so do
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: well to access the relevant materials. And let me recommend
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 2: for you if you are starting. The best way I
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: recommend for a believer who is starting is topical study
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: of the scripture. Topical study that means you pick topic
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: by topic. If it's on faith, if it's on righteousness.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: You may not yet have the stamina to start reading
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: fifteen chapters a day or explore from a theological standpoint,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: so it's wise and simple. This is where devotionals also
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: help because they give a topical approach to the study
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: of scripture. I hope that helps God bless you.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 4: Okay, this person seem to want to know more about you.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 4: This is a personal questions, but they will help people.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: Number one, who is your spiritual father?
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 4: Then the second person is also asking God has been
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 4: using you mightily, and we know you are not married,
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 4: So how do you deal with temptation of women to
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 4: be able.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: To stand as a man of God? Okay, praise the Lord. Well, no, no,
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: let's be fair and honest. Whoever that person is the temptation,
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 2: let me start with the second, the temptation over women,
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: and the rest has nothing to do with being married.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: Or not, is only a lot more aggressive when you're not.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 2: The same disciplining is hold true for anybody because when
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: it has to do with the matters of the flesh,
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: it has no respect whether you have a wife, whether
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: you have children, whether you're young or old.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: You see, that is the truth.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: I think the key the key, aside from your personal
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: conviction dying to self, the key is to create systems
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: around your life.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: When you do not create systems.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: Around your life, inevitably married or not, you will fall victim.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: So number one, it starts with your fellowship. Every annointing
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: has a consecration level that protects and preserves it allelujah.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: And then secondly it's important to create This is why
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: periodic retreats are very important, because they give you an
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: opportunity to go before the Lord and to cry out,
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: to be dealt with and to be built by God.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: Are we together now? And that is very very important.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 2: Now to the first question, it's created a lot of
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: controversy unfortunately in the body of Christ. Well, if you
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 2: are dealing with the issue of fatherhood and submission, most
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: people ask these questions because they come from Pentecostal circles.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: When you meet people who come from Orthodox background, especially
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: people who come from the Nod.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: This question has an angle to it.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 2: The concept of mentorship and fatherhood to people who were
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: raised by the North is rather systemic than individual because
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: the way ministries are in the North, they do not
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: have a single overseer that everybody who comes under submits to.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: Now that does not mean it is wrong. Are we together? Now?
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: I've heard all kinds of teachings about that.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: And we came from a background where whoever was your
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: pastor after three years.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: You will not see the person again. You get the point.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 2: Now, At various phases of my life and my experience,
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: I've had different people being introduced.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: I was raised from Equa.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: My grandfather, by the way, was the founding father and
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: the trustee of the Church of Christ in Nations, so
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: I came from that lineage. And then my experience with
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: the Evangelical Church winning all and then seasons of mentorship
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: and training under Archbishop Benjamin Quashi the Younger Seminary.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: You see that.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 2: But then I think the unique nature of my life
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: mandated and necessitated that I kept having a lot of
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: experiences with different people. I would not frown at the
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: concept of having a single father, an individual who you lead.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: I submit to the Body of Christ. I'm very clear
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: about that. You've see my relationship with fathers, and I've
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: gone to the Lord in prayer asking questions on that,
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: and God has planted me across several people are Father
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: and the Lord, Babad Dah Boy, Bishop Adepa, and several people.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: These are people who represent authority structure.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: So my concept of.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: Fatherhood is a bit different from what is generally understood
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: in the Body of Christ, and I don't want to
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: dealve so much so that it does not become a
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: template that brings confusion nor plants rebellion to people who
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: are submitting to fathers.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm careful addressing this.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: But the concept of fatherhood as we know in church
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: is not all that dear is to fatherhood. Unfortunately, for
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: various reasons, I may not want to delve into certain
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: things here because this is not exclusively a pastors conference,
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: else there are things would have been able to share.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 2: But here is my take for whoever is asking that question.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: If God has planted you in a ministry like this,
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 2: the man of God you over here, that He has
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 2: set over you becomes your Father from the word Abba,
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: the one.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: Who begot you in the Gospel.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 2: That is the original idea of fatherhood, the one who
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: begot you in the Gospel. But you see that that
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 2: template is not really ideal because many people who come
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: are usually already saved and even already transformed. For most
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 2: of them. There may be men and women who in
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: my ministry who just come to submit to get direction.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: So what most.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 2: People call fatherhood is actually mentorship. Fatherhood classically starts from
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: the point of getting you saved and then growing you spiritually.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: That means there is a track record of making having
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 2: made that spiritual.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: Investment in your life. You get the idea now.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 2: So there are dimensions of fatherhood, unfortunately that have been
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: abused in Africa. For many people, is just a license
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: to show that you are not a rebel, and so
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: people just look for anybody and just continue with a
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: lot of rebellion with no touch at all with the Father.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: The purpose of fatherhood is supposed to be for guidance,
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: for mentorship, for correction. There are other people who have
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: even deviated from the way of the Lord because of
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 2: honor to fatherhood. This is why I don't want to
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: get into certain details, because you will find out that
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 2: when fatherhood is not correct, you can literally lose the
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: context of your call. If the father is insecure as
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 2: a person, he will have to force you to be
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 2: loyal to the template he has given you.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: Which may be against what God told you, which.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: Is the security that ELI had to allow somewhere to evolve.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 2: If he had followed the ELI patterns, something will go wrong.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 2: So fatherhood issue is very, very complicated.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: But I will leave you with this world. The man
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: you see is not a rebel. This man you.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 2: See I am more submissive than most people that you see.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: There are results you cannot.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 2: Attain onto except when certain spiritual laws are in place
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 2: away together.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: So I hope I was able to help.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 4: Whoether that person is okay, So I think maybe this
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 4: will also help with the issue you have just mentioned. Now,
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 4: many thanks for your power and inspired to teach in
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 4: your tought doing your session, I could recall now discussion
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 4: is for both of us, okay, but I want to
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 4: give it to you because of what you have just said.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 4: Then I'll also answer my part later because.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: I want us to focus on you.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 4: So the person in the first paragraph is referring to
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 4: my session. I could recall that you said your session
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 4: that is a joy for every spiritual father to see
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 4: it our sons thriving and succeeding more than them, which
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 4: is what I said in my session. So the person
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 4: now went to this question that now affects two of us.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 4: Now I would like to get clarity from both of you.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: So years now left me to toward the health.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 4: So, having served my spiritual Father closely for sixteen years,
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 4: faithfully and sincerely with all I have got, a time
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 4: came that God now backoned at me to go and
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 4: start my ministry, and with a lot of confirmations vetting
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 4: the authenticity of this timely message of living. My spiritual
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 4: father is not willing to let me go and has
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 4: been using every means, crooked and unbibliica to tie me down.
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 4: There has been a track record of people the ministry
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 4: out of anger and frustration. I do not want to
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 4: be like those people. I want to wait until I'm released.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 4: So what do I do? Do I obey God or
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 4: HARKing to the stridutional Father?
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: Praise the Lord.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 2: This is a very please listen, let's listen. This is
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 2: a very sincere person. Now you don't say driving is
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: bad because there are so many accidents on the road.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 2: So my attempt to answer this question is by no
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: means downplaying the role of fatherhood.
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: But I want to submit.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: To you, and I've heard the honor of discussing this
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 2: privately with some of our fathers of faith in this nation.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: I have expressed my personal concern as to what we
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: call fatherhood in Africa. I submit to you that a
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 2: lot of what we call fatherhood in Africa is not
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: scriptural fatherhood.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: It's just a lot of eventing of insight securities from people.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: Now because.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: And please take note of my disclaimer, don't go around
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: insulting fathers. I have frowned at that and discouraged it
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: at the highest level. But just to honor this question truthfully,
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 2: so many people, so many people have missed out on
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 2: their purpose and their assignment because of the idea of fatherhood.
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: The idea of fatherhood in Africa is almost slavery. Is
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: as though you are connected to someone and your life
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 2: and relevance only holes provided you are with the person.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 2: There is no sense if you are ever found working
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: in any pattern that God told you that it's outside
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 2: of the frame of understanding of the father, you're going
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 2: to get into trouble, and then the father's battle also
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: becomes your battle. If there are friends and you know,
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: all kinds of things, I don't want to go into that.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 2: But for this person, I will not encourage rebellion at
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: any level. I rather will encourage you to seek counsel
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: from somebody who is a contemporary at the level of
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 2: your father. Don't seek counsel from someone who is your contemporary.
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 2: They will not be able to help because the Bible
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 2: says to not rebuke an elder in public.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: Away together.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: So if I wear that person, the first thing I'm
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 2: going to do is to continue to pray as I
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 2: serve that to the last second. In that ministry, you
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 2: leave a track record of loyalty and faithfulness because you
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 2: are so in a seed. The ministry you're about to start,
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: you will also have sons, and one day they will
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 2: also go. You see, so I will encourage that person
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 2: number one. You have served for sixteen years. Remember that
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 2: happened between Jacob and Laban. When he's served he wanted
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 2: to go. Laban said, you're not going anywhere to switch
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: wives for him. The guy added your time again and
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 2: so on and so forth, because he learned that it
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 2: was through him that God was prospering him.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: Not let me submit to you.
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 2: When you are a true father is very paid for
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 2: having invested in people. It's a human thing that when
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 2: you have invested in people and sometimes they are living
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: like any parent who want to do, sometimes you just
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 2: want to retain them and keep them. This is why
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: we teach in pastors conferences that you should never have
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 2: only one person doing the greatest task in the ministry.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: Always reproduce yourself.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 2: Once you have only one person who seems to be
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 2: the pillar, you are pushing them to the corridors of
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: pride and compromise.
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: There is nothing that cannot.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 2: Be reproduced, you see, So that if and when God
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 2: calls those people genuinely to go, they would have done
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 2: well to have worthy replacements. Usually the pain happens when
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 2: the individual is going to leave a very big vacuum
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 2: and it to affect the ministry. So I always encourage
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 2: people to develop people. Don't give people an idea and
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: the ministry that only one or two people are exceptional
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 2: to get certain things, because it's not true. Everybody who
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: is trained and is shown the pathway can attain to
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 2: a commendable level of value for this person. I will
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 2: advise that you seek counsel. Look for an elderly person
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 2: in the faith, or someone who is within the level
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 2: of the contemporary of your Man of God, a contemporary person.
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: And meets the person in honor and respect.
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 2: Don't go around tearing down your pastor your father. Know
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 2: whether he is right or wrong. The judgment is onto God.
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 2: Don't go around saying this man is doing this, he's
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 2: using whatever it is.
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: And then if for any reason your counsel to.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 2: Leave at the very at the worst case scenario, live
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 2: in peace.
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 1: That means don't.
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 2: Tear down people and saying are you not following me?
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: Are you blind over what is happening here? That is
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 2: not your concern. If you must leave, you find out
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 2: you are convicted. If you are married and you discuss
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 2: with your wife, you discourse with the systems of authority
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 2: around your life, and they give you the go ahead,
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 2: you may politely.
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: Live in peace. You see in any case.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 2: Do not cause trouble in that church or that assembly.
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 2: Because you may seem to be happy for a while
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 2: that you've gone, But I can assure you eventually to backfire.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: There is no license for rebellion whatsoever. Fathers are not perfect.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 2: They're humans. They make mistakes, and that is the reason
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 2: why everybody must altogether continue to grow and learn. But if,
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 2: as a someone who has served there, if you observe
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 2: any flaws, they're your first responsibility to your father is
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 2: to interceed in cirele. The sons of Noah's saw your
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 2: father's nakedness, and one when to call the rest to
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 2: come and laugh at him. Noh was drunk, but when
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: you wake up, he was still prophetic to know the
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: person who rebelled against him, and he cost him. And
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 2: the other one said no, no, no, no. Even though it's
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: a father's nakedness, you walk behind and he came and
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 2: covered him. It's not endorsing licentiousness. Fathers are humans, They
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 2: make up of mistakes. We owe them a prayer, We
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: owe them as support not to laugh at their mistakes
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 2: and all that they do. But if and when living
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 2: in that circle is causing you to sin, causing you
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 2: to deviate from the pathway, the known pathway of God,
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 2: then it may be a wise thing to live.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 1: In any case, living peace don't cause trouble.
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know, yeah, okay, this one is zeroeding on
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 4: music ministers as a case study, but the focus because
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 4: very long. The focus is that we're talking about people
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 4: submitting their soul to the devil and all the stuff,
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 4: because I always I've thought that you're either in the
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 4: secret cause you're in the secret place.
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 1: There's no middle ground.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 4: And we still mentioned yesterday when it took Jesus to
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 4: the top of the mountain he said, which you also said,
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 4: I think yesterday's running. It's about that and worship, and
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 4: it's going to show them the Kingdom's plural which are
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 4: all the spheres and their glory and say if you
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 4: bow down, I will give it to you. Yes, And
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 4: there's a connection between worship and wealth, which.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: Are changed after.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 4: So now the person is saying that we see a
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 4: lot of people that seem to have submitted their soul
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 4: to the devil and they are doing well, but.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: We don't see the consequence on earth for many of them.
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 4: So the person is not giving example that all the
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 4: music ministers, that a lot of gospel ministers, they are transformed,
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 4: they're empowered, but they are not blowing and that we
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 4: have that if you look at nine major let's say,
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 4: out of ten people that are musicians, nine will be unbelievers.
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 4: There are only few gosthel Minis ministers have been able
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 4: to blow. But all these people, we know they are
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 4: serving the devil, but they are still blowing and there's
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 4: no judgment.
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: We can't see any judgments. So yeah, okay, praise God.
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: It's a very honest question.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 2: Also, there are two There are two ways.
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: Of dealing with this.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 2: Number one, we have to redefine your concept of blowing.
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 2: That is the first thing we have to look at,
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 2: because when you become a spiritual man, the parameters for
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 2: measuring success, change, influence. Influence in the Kingdom is not
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 2: just from a secular standpoint alone, So we have to
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 2: vet what you know and what you propose to be blowing.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 2: So that's the first thing we look at. But in
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 2: any case, let me submit to you that the Bible
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 2: says friendship with the world is enmity with God.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: So when you are when you are.
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 2: An advocate of the kingdom directly vocally, especially in the
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 2: music ministry, you would still have to refer to my
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 2: message on power because the system. Don't forget that we're
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 2: contending against an antichrist system that has vowed to not
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 2: allow righteousness and godliness strive. There are television stations around
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 2: the world that does not allow you to mention the
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 2: name Jesus. There are televisions stations that don't allow you
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 2: to do some of the things that you're doing that
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 2: you're doing for the kingdom. In many regions that will
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 2: shut it down immediately. Some of these secular musicians have
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of sponsorships, a lot of aid, a lot
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 2: of leverage that they thrive upon, and then rising by
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 2: righteousness in a crooked world is very difficult. Are we
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 2: together haven't mentioned that? Let me also tell you that
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 2: success has universal laws. I must be very honest with you.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 2: So just because you are a gospel minister or you
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 2: are a preacher, if you do not work in keeping
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 2: with the laws that have been made in the Kingdom
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 2: for rising and excelling, you will fail. And the reason
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 2: will not be because you are serving Jesus. So, while
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 2: we have there is a place where the devil's attacks
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 2: and all of that antagonism against the Gospel is there.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 2: But I think there are people on earth who have
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 2: been able to move with the dignity of kingdom, integrity
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 2: and rise to commendable levels. I'm saying this because there
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 2: are many believers who do not practice the principles that
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 2: make for global influence, and then they use the excuse
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 2: of the devil and blame everything. I have studied the
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 2: subject of influence, and I have prayed that God will
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 2: use my own life to prove that you can rise
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 2: and do whatever it is that you do. In Caya
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 2: last year, you know, we had a program there and
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 2: it was an incredible thing. Sixty five thousand people and
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 2: all that organization happened within a month or so. So
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 2: the kingdom influence can happen. And of course we're all
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 2: witnesses what God did in the United Kingdom just last week,
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 2: and it brought great glory to the name of the Lord.
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 2: So I do not yes, I do not think that
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 2: it is an excuse to say that just because you
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 2: are a Christian you do not rise. You do not
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 2: have to compromise. What you need to do is submit
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 2: to the mentorship sessions that the Man of God is teaching.
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 2: I submit to you that some of the truths is
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 2: communicating to you. If you receive them and believe them,
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 2: they sustain their ability to grant to influence at a
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 2: global level.
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 1: I made up my mind as a man of God
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: that I will not raise people who are.
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 2: Only spiritual, but that I will raise people who are
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 2: also people of influence, because kingdom advancement happens to evangelism
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 2: and influence, not evangelism alone, you see. So for the
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 2: gospel musicians, it may be a bit difficult, especially when
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 2: you are starting, because in Africa there are no systems of.
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: Leverage that easily lift you.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 2: You have to prove yourself until you have attained a
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 2: certain level. This is where the Holy Spirit comes, and
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 2: this is where understanding things like the law of honor,
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 2: relationships and the rest coming. So I tell people, in
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 2: addition to your value, make sure that you build strategic
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 2: relationshipships that can be a leverage for you. In Nigeria,
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 2: for instance, most gospel ministers rise to the degree to
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 2: which they are connected to a local assembly, so the
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 2: leverage that comes from the man of God, the visibility
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 2: that they receive. You will seldom find people who are
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 2: not truly connected to a church just rising at a
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 2: national or at least at a continental level, because most
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 2: of the invites that give you visibility and the conferences
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 2: where you will be invited will usually be from the
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 2: leverage of church.
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: So it's important for whoever it.
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 2: Is that is seeking to rise as a gospel minister
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 2: to study both the spirituality of music and the industry
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 2: of music.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: Alle Lujah, I hope I was able to attempt your question. Okay,
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: So I think we're the two questions.
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 4: One of it I have to take it for the
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 4: purpose of the fact that I know some people have
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 4: also asked that question before, and then this will be
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 4: the fun and it's about people that want to be
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 4: a blessing to you. A lot of people they want
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 4: to bless you. So I have to ask just for
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 4: integrity purpose that a lot of people asked that question.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 4: Can we because sometimes you don't know why you know.
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 4: I want to say to socialis like, look, go to
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 4: Abuja is a you can't becoming so but I just
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 4: have to ask whether you can help give clarity to
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 4: that because sometimes when you go to preaching the place,
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 4: we get phone calls and when it's it coming, I can't.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: I want to say, look, we can't. We are not
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 1: in charge of this program. We cannot.
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 4: Maybe because you say you want to soci it, then
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 4: you come you start with in types of people that
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 4: want to be a blessing to you personally, how do
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 4: they go about that?
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I submit to you, that is an uncomfortable question
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 2: because of how men and women of God bastardized this
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 2: issue of compromises and lack of integrity. It's made me
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 2: so uncomfortable. In fact, God had to warn me about
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 2: I give a lot of seeds, especially to our fathers,
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 2: and they receive it, but receiving from others. God had
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 2: to tell me other people receive my own seed for
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 2: me to rise, So I must be fair enough to
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 2: receive seeds from people generally when I come to a ethically,
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 2: when I come to a ministry like this, I always
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 2: want to work in keeping with the modus operandi within
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 2: the church.
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 1: It is a personal creed that I live up to.
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 2: You don't find me come to a church and I'm
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 2: talking with some people and collecting seas. I just believe
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 2: it's not ethically enough. It is my respect and my
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 2: regard to the ministry that is hosting me. So usually
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 2: if and when the Man of God allows me to
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 2: see the people and they're bringing seats and is aware
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 2: and they're fine with it, we can speak the blessing
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 2: on them and receive it. Else, if they have a
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 2: system where they collate the seats together and send it,
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 2: that is fine. But these are the channels things like
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 2: my account number and the rest. I frown at it
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 2: so much. My friend and brother, Pastor Nathaniel Bassy. It
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 2: took him a long time to get my account number,
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 2: and then when he displayed it in hallelu challenge, I
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 2: wanted to sink into the ground. I said, no, no, no, no, no,
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 2: it's just my thing. But that does not mean that
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 2: that giving is wrong. Let me encourage you, not just
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 2: to me, but even to doctor Lumidae Manuel. It is
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 2: very scriptural, especially at programs like this, to give. I
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 2: assure you that if you do not give, there are
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 2: certain levels you will not rise to. You can be hardworking,
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 2: you can be diligent, but giving is the Kingdom's way
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 2: by which the saints right. So if you are considering
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 2: in your heart to associate, I can tell you it's
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 2: not the devil leading you. That's number one, but number two.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 2: We have to submit to whatever modelsup Randi is available.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 2: So I would leave that to Dr Lumidae Manuel. He
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 2: can be able to guide on however you see fit
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 2: to communicate. The most important thing is that it is
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 2: done decently, It is done consciously with understanding, not by manipulation,
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 2: and that it is done with the high level of integrity.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: Crazy okay.
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 4: So so to help you put that in context, if
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 4: you have a specific seed that you want to show
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 4: into his life, you write a check, or you put
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 4: the money in an envelope, and then you put his
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 4: name on the envelope and your own name and your.
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 1: Phone number on the envelope.
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 4: So we'll give it to him. You do have to
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 4: see he will pray for you. You don't need to
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 4: see him for the prayer to work. You sad, So
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 4: don't think that we'll no for me. You all of
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 4: you will have wait, you'll have you put it to
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 4: And now you want to say.
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: There's no way.
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 4: So put this seed in an envelope, write his name,
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 4: write your name and your number, and then you put
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 4: it there and then we'll get it to him.
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: God bless you.
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 4: Finally, because of time, we'll have three minutes more. Good morning,
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 4: a possible Please, what will you advise someone who has
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 4: a call or is or our life? But it's finally
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 4: difficult to live is or business totally, not because of himself,
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 4: but because there are so many people depending on you financially.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 4: So should individu I leave everything. I'm going to full
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 4: time ministry because it so it's like somebody that's gonna
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 4: get looking. It's not even about me now, I want
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 4: to go big about everybody. Did my father, mother bbod?
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: It is like me that I do. So should I
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 1: shot it down going to full time ministry or what
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: do I do? That's a final question, that's a very
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: honest question.
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 2: The twenty first century is redefining our idea of full
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 2: time ministry. I define full time ministry as full time commitment,
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 2: not just that you are only preaching except when God
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 2: gives you a direct instruction that is verified by the
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 2: authorities around your life and they agree with you that
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 2: we are witnesses that this was a unique call. I'm
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 2: saying that because living in the twenty first century, many
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 2: people run away from marrying preachers today run away from
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 2: ministers because they have they have they have assumed a
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 2: template that has made God look like an irresponsible person.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 2: There are people who have left good jobs, They've left
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of things. Now, in truth, ministry will occupy you.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 2: It will take from your time, but I doubt that
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 2: ministry at its infancy will occupy you so much that
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 2: you will need to leave your job. That is the truth,
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 2: depends on what you are doing as much as possible,
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 2: I advise people, until your job becomes a provable distraction,
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 2: it may not be wise to just leave your job
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 2: like that, especially when you are married with children. Because
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 2: the woman did not marry a man of God, she
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 2: married a husband, and the Bible mandates that you be
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 2: a responsible man.
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 1: At any level in you.
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 2: I say this because there are many ministers who who,
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 2: because of their their inability to provide for their families,
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 2: they find themselves at the corridors of compromise.
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 1: This is what leads to some of this manipulation.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 2: Because when your wife is crying, your children and a crying,
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 2: and you have the gift of prophecy, you.
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: See, you say that most likely.
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 2: You are going to use it for a very wrong reason,
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 2: you see, and you don't want to do ministry that way.
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 2: So my counsel for such a person is that you
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 2: can use your workplace to test whether you even to
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 2: succeed in ministry, because if you start from there, everybody
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 2: in your workplace is a potential member of your church,
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 2: so you test. If it does not work in your workplace,
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 2: you may need to pipe down a bit, and then
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 2: maybe I would say this. Finally, there is a difference
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 2: between being called and being sent. For many people, you
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 2: are called onto Jesus. You are sent from Jesus to
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 2: the nations. So just because God has called you and
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 2: you are now aware that the call of God is
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 2: upon your life, does not mean you have been sent.
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 2: He called the disciples and the mission is follow me.
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 2: When he now sends them, he sends them to the nations.
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 2: So there are many people who the call of God
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 2: is true upon your life, but the season of being
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 2: sent has not come, and so they just release themselves
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 2: and find out that the backing that should come is
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 2: not there.
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 1: You see that now.
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 2: So it's very important Jesus said, when I sent you,
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 2: lackest now anything, because if you stay on your call,
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 2: you will be taught how to prosper when you are sent.
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 1: Are we together now? So to whoever that person is.
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 2: And if you're a man of God, and you are,
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 2: you will know that you are not going to be
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 2: doing a secular job. Attend the trainings so that you
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 2: have a good business. When Peter followed Jesus, he didn't
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 2: close down fishing. Fishing was still on. Remember when it backfired.
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 2: He said, I go a fishing and the other disciple said,
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 2: we go with you. And notice when Jesus makes them,
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 2: he called them by prospering what they were currently.
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 1: Doing in John twenty one. He now made them to
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 1: have a large cash.
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 2: Then he said, now come to me, because he knew
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 2: that if they did not find a sense of fulfillment,
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 2: they will not come again. So he did something about
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 2: the fishing. And then he now came and said, Love
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 2: has done me more than this. You see that Paul
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 2: was a tent maker. I can tell you sincerely if
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 2: you do not create systems and structures that sort your finance.
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 1: It does not have to be a job, but you
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 1: must channel.
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 2: Streams of income that are able to help you at
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 2: the infancy of ministry. You may not have impacted people
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 2: enough to reward it to an extent that you can
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 2: have money to invest or do some other things. So
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 2: it's always wise to have a business or have a job,
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 2: or at least set up a system that you can
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 2: supervise while you serve the Lord as God increases you as.
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 1: You are dispensing that spiritual value.
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 2: If people keep giving to you, whether on orariums or
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 2: blessings like this, God gives you the wisdom and listening
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 2: to your person now helps you to know what to
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 2: do with the moneys that is now coming, because for
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 2: many people, if you don't have financial intelligence, even if
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 2: a billion error is given to you, you will still
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 2: struggle eventually. And you are a very blessed church to
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 2: have a man of God who loves God and is
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 2: so thoroughly financially intelligent to be able to guide you
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 2: to know what to do. And I tell you I've
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 2: read School of Money, I don't know how many times,
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 2: and I know the wisdom that I have gleaned from that.
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 2: So for that preacher, I recommend every preacher who is
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 2: here and has not bought School of Money go to
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 2: my right there is and there's the book there.
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 1: Go and get it and add it to all the
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 1: revival materials you have because you will need it. Praise
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 1: the Lord God bless you, hallelujah.
• 2:07:53

  Speaker 2: Okay, let me say this place just to honor doctor
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 2: Lumi de Maners. But they let me surprise him. The
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 2: first twenty ministers that go to the books stand not now. Respect,
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 2: Please don't do the first twenty minutesters that go to
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 2: the bookstand.
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 1: Please. They have the school of money free of charge.
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 2: That that that is, that is the support to honor
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 2: his investment and his contribution. But you have to be
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 2: a minister. You have to be a minister of the gospel.
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 2: This is not I know that everybody wants to pick
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 2: some of you will not read it. You're a minister
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 2: of the gospel serving in the vineyard. Let me lend
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 2: my faith with him and my support to honor him
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 2: the fifty three years and to support this phenomenal work
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 2: that he's brought to our world.
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Size.
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 4: So just to finalize that, I always say you don't
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 4: go into full time onto your hands are full. So
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 4: most of the time you will end up stealing a
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 4: line or softening while you have twelve members. I say
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 4: you're doing full time. Sometimes it's just laziness. So let's
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 4: make sure that because full time does not mean that
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 4: you abandon everything.
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 1: Full time ministry.
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 4: Means that ministry should be your primary assignments, but not
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 4: your only assignments. So let's learn to put balance in
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 4: listening so that God will about. Let's have also influence
