The Mandate — Pastor Poju Oyemade (Day 2 Evening Session, The General Assembly 2025 with Apostle Joshua Selman) · Selah Media House

• 0:01
  Amen. I believe Bishop from Cardiff
• 0:17
  Jumo has set the stage already and made it easy to minister.
• 0:25
  I want to appreciate the settlement here.
• 0:30
  Apostle Joshua Selman I I don't now I want to say this and I
• 0:38
  don't think I've ever said it before.
• 0:39
  In a way I'm but I want to say this.
• 0:42
  Anybody you invited to come to this place will have probably
• 0:46
  have found it an honourable thing to preach on this
• 0:51
  particular platform. So I do not take this for
• 0:54
  granted. I want to say a big thank you.
• 1:00
  And you know, the higher he gets, the more humble he
• 1:06
  becomes. And that's why Apostle Joshua
• 1:09
  Salman will be around for a very long time, very long time.
• 1:18
  Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we thank you for the
• 1:24
  presence of your spirit in this place.
• 1:27
  We thank you that He's here to glorify Jesus Christ.
• 1:32
  I ask by the power of that same spirit that you grant utterance
• 1:35
  this evening, that I speak as your Oracle, that Your word goes
• 1:39
  forth on hindered by any demonic force, in simplicity, with
• 1:44
  accuracy, and in power. That light goes into our hearts.
• 1:49
  Grace is ministered unto us. And that as I speak, the vision
• 1:55
  of the set man of this house is perfectly interpreted, that the
• 2:00
  people may be blessed and Christ may be glorified in Jesus mighty
• 2:06
  name, Amen. You may all be seated.
• 2:14
  The Tropic I was given. Let me read it out.
• 2:21
  That I was asked to speak on is Strategic Kingdom relevance, a
• 2:29
  new blueprint for today's church.
• 2:35
  But this morning, as Apostle was teaching, I wanted to listen to
• 2:40
  him and to hear what the Spirit of God will say.
• 2:48
  Because it's very important that when you come to speak for
• 2:52
  someone, that you make sure that you understand the vision of
• 3:00
  that person for that meeting. And the best way to understand
• 3:04
  it is to listen to the person speak.
• 3:10
  And he talked about the mandate and talked about the five heads
• 3:14
  of the mandate. So my heart started beating this
• 3:19
  morning as I was saying it then. I hope what I want to say will
• 3:23
  belong to one of the heads there.
• 3:26
  Well, then he got to the part that the mandate there is for
• 3:29
  world evangelization, the winning of souls, it is for
• 3:34
  fruitfulness. Then I thought he talked about
• 3:37
  from church to church within the church for spiritual maturity.
• 3:43
  And then I said, well, that's my own.
• 3:46
  And then the 4th, he spoke about transformation of society
• 3:50
  through the church, and I'll talk about that tomorrow
• 3:54
  morning. But this evening I want to see
• 3:57
  it on that thought mandate or aspect of the mandate, looking
• 4:03
  at the strategic position of the church and our relevance and
• 4:10
  blueprints for today's church. And I want to speak in
• 4:15
  particular about something. God placed it in my heart weeks
• 4:22
  ago and I kept it and I said I will speak to it at this
• 4:27
  particular conference. But let me start out by saying
• 4:32
  in Luke chapter 5, verse 35, verse 37 to verse 39, it tells
• 4:39
  us you cannot pour new wine in. So old wine is skin.
• 4:46
  He spoke a parable and said, all right, OK, let's start from 35.
• 4:50
  He swagg A parable and said, no man puts a new piece of cloth.
• 4:56
  Sorry, 3737, they're fine. 37 No one puts all right, no man puts
• 5:02
  a new wine into old bottles, or else the bottles it tells us, or
• 5:11
  else the new wine will burst the bottles and be spilled, and the
• 5:16
  bottles shall perish. So when God tells us in
• 5:22
  Scripture that he's not slack concerning his promises, as on
• 5:26
  some men count slackness, but he is not willing that any should
• 5:31
  perish, but they should come to repentance or certain changes,
• 5:36
  is that he can't pour those things in it.
• 5:40
  So old wine as schemes. There has to be a change in the
• 5:47
  wine scheme. The problem is not with the wine
• 5:51
  or the person who wants to pour the wine, he says.
• 5:56
  The delay is that you cannot pour new wine in it, so old
• 6:01
  wineskins. And so once the wineskins are
• 6:06
  changed or the wineskins are renewed, then there's going to
• 6:12
  be a massive outpouring of the new wine so that the new wine
• 6:18
  doesn't destroy the wineskins, which are the people, and also
• 6:25
  the wineskins gets wasted. Then it goes on in verse 38 and
• 6:30
  says this, it says, but new wine must be pulled into new bottles
• 6:36
  or new wineskins so that both are preserved.
• 6:41
  And then the next verse, it tells us where the problem is.
• 6:45
  He says no man also haven't drunk the old wine straight away
• 6:50
  desires the new, for he is always saying that the old is
• 6:55
  better. So there has to be a change in
• 6:59
  the mind of that particular person because what they keep
• 7:04
  saying or what we keep saying inside our hearts is that we are
• 7:08
  touched. So the things that have happened
• 7:11
  in the past and we don't want to enter into what is new.
• 7:15
  So how does God do it? The old wineskin are taken and
• 7:21
  they must be made flexible again because once you pour the new
• 7:26
  wine in, there's going to be fermentation.
• 7:29
  And the old wineskin has taken the shape of the old wine.
• 7:35
  And therefore once you pour in the new wine and it begins to
• 7:37
  ferment, there will be no space for it to be and it will burst.
• 7:42
  So what the Mandos is that he takes the wineskin and must make
• 7:49
  that wineskin flexible again so that once you pour in the new
• 7:55
  wine, it will be able to receive that new wine and take the shape
• 8:02
  and the form of the new wine. So what he does is that he soaks
• 8:07
  it in water and puts oil within the wineskin, and the water is a
• 8:14
  type of the word of God, and he begins to move that thing in
• 8:20
  order for it to get elastic. So where I'm going is once God
• 8:26
  wants to initiate something new within our lives because of our
• 8:32
  attachments to the old, He has to do certain things on the
• 8:38
  outside while he soaks us in the water, which is the word of God,
• 8:44
  and then also puts oil within, which is a type of prayer as we
• 8:48
  are interacting with the Holy Spirit.
• 8:52
  But what happens is that the individual or the church is now
• 8:57
  confronted with new challenges that the old mindset can no
• 9:04
  longer handle or solve. And So what happens is you put
• 9:11
  yourself back and it shows the Word of God and you get soaked
• 9:16
  in the Word of God because you might be confronting something
• 9:21
  that you have used all the principles that you knew in the
• 9:25
  past. You have used every
• 9:28
  understanding that you knew in the past and every generation
• 9:33
  will face challenges where they will have to read the Bible
• 9:38
  again and begin to discover things that they never knew.
• 9:46
  Job got to a point where he had to say, I heard of you with the
• 9:51
  hearing of my ears, but now with my eyes, I see you.
• 9:57
  And so when those challenges begin to come, and that's the
• 10:01
  God moving and that might be going on in certain people's
• 10:04
  lives now. And it says soak yourself in the
• 10:08
  word of God there in the water of the world, Stay in the place
• 10:12
  of prayer. I'm going to bring you and begin
• 10:16
  to change that wine skin. As you begin to see new things
• 10:22
  in the Scriptures, you start seeing things ways in which you
• 10:27
  did not see. The scripture starts getting
• 10:31
  opened up onto you in a brand new way.
• 10:36
  And so the adjustments, which is what is called repentance, a
• 10:40
  change in the state of your mind.
• 10:43
  And it's comes from a place of integrity because you are
• 10:47
  confronting something that you understand that this issue, all
• 10:52
  right, has got to be resolved. God has the answers to this, but
• 10:57
  I need to look at the Word of God in a different way that I
• 11:02
  have been looking at it. Let me give an example from
• 11:06
  Exodus chapter 3, verse 2 to verse 5.
• 11:10
  And this is what goes on in the lives of people.
• 11:13
  The Bible says the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him, that's
• 11:16
  to Moses in a flame of fire out of the midst of the Bush, and he
• 11:23
  looked and behold, the Bush burned with fire, and the Bush
• 11:29
  was not consumed. In other words, the person or
• 11:33
  people enter into a trying situation and the Bush is
• 11:39
  burning. But you notice something.
• 11:43
  You are still not consumed by this Bush, by this fire.
• 11:49
  It is raging and it's burning. But you have looked at yourself
• 11:54
  and you are surprised that you are even impressed that as much
• 11:59
  as this fire is raging and you are going through this test or
• 12:03
  this trial, you still are not consumed.
• 12:09
  And then Moses did something that triggered everything Moses
• 12:14
  said. I will now turn aside.
• 12:17
  The word turn aside means I will look at it from another angle.
• 12:22
  I will look at this thing from another perspective.
• 12:26
  I have just looked at it as a test and a trial.
• 12:30
  But let me look at it from another angle.
• 12:34
  And he said and see this great site and what he said was why
• 12:41
  this Bush is not burnt. In other words, you are no
• 12:46
  longer praying to God to deliver you from that fire.
• 12:53
  Your prayer is Now why is this going on?
• 12:57
  Once you begin to ask God the question why, I want to know why
• 13:02
  this is happening. You know, Paul prayed and said,
• 13:06
  let this thing depart from me and asked God three times and
• 13:11
  nothing happened. And because God wanted to show
• 13:13
  him something and so change the paradigm of Paul and the way in
• 13:18
  which he looked at things. So after the thought and God
• 13:22
  said my grace is sufficient for you, He said, now I'm getting
• 13:27
  into the why of this particular thing.
• 13:31
  Why has this condition been there and I've done everything
• 13:36
  that I know to do. I am asking why.
• 13:41
  And once he asked that question, why the Bible tells us the next
• 13:44
  verse, God responded verse 4. And when the Lord saw that, he
• 13:50
  turned. In other words, the Lord saw
• 13:52
  something that He had turned all right to look at that thing from
• 13:57
  another perspective, that this is no longer just let us get out
• 14:02
  of this. The Bible tells us we are
• 14:04
  preserved. You know, the children of Israel
• 14:06
  were taken from the Egypt and they were taken.
• 14:09
  God was taking them into the promised land and they had to go
• 14:13
  through the wilderness. And in the wilderness, it wasn't
• 14:16
  the fulfillment of the promise, but they saw the faithfulness of
• 14:20
  God there, that even though nothing changed on the outside,
• 14:25
  they were preserved by God inside the wilderness.
• 14:28
  But they never asked God the question, why?
• 14:32
  Which means why do we have to go through this?
• 14:35
  If they had asked him, why do we have to go through this?
• 14:39
  And the answer to that question, they will have found purpose.
• 14:43
  They will have found the assignment and understood what
• 14:46
  God actually was doing, but they never asked Him why.
• 14:51
  But it was necessary that He went through that in order to
• 14:55
  get into the Promised land where God was teaching them
• 14:58
  principles, but never had the patience to even listen to Him.
• 15:04
  It was all about give us what we are eating in Egypt, give us
• 15:07
  food, give us clothes, give us this and give us that.
• 15:11
  And so we're moving to a point where people begin to ask God
• 15:15
  the question why about this thing?
• 15:18
  And in God answering that, people start finding their new
• 15:22
  assignment. In other words, somebody goes to
• 15:26
  God and says, why is this? And God answers that prayer and
• 15:30
  shows that person the assignment as he came to Abraham and said,
• 15:33
  a father of many nations have I made been answering that
• 15:37
  particular question of why? And so when God saw that, he
• 15:41
  turned aside to see, God called him at that point and said unto
• 15:47
  him in the midst of the boots, and said, Moses, most said, Here
• 15:50
  I am. And then God said, the grounds
• 15:52
  you are standing upon is holy grounds here.
• 15:57
  Take off the shoes from your feet, for the place where you
• 15:59
  are standing is holy ground. You're toiled all night like
• 16:04
  Peter and you catch nothing. If you go to God and ask him
• 16:09
  why, then you will understand that that place of
• 16:12
  disappointment is actually a holy ground as assignment from
• 16:16
  God. It is not just about catching
• 16:19
  fish and going to sell fish. It is about entry into your
• 16:23
  apostoli call. Peter will never have ever
• 16:27
  imagined that we will be talking about him thousands of years
• 16:31
  after. And it all came out of that
• 16:33
  disappointment that he had when he told all night and called
• 16:38
  nothing. There is no Christian that
• 16:40
  experiences some form of disappointment at something that
• 16:44
  there is no divine purpose in it.
• 16:46
  If you will ask God why? And so he was there and then he
• 16:51
  found purpose. You follow what I'm saying here
• 16:55
  and you come to congression and ask God why.
• 16:57
  Listen, I come from a world of faith background.
• 17:00
  I was on campus one time. I was leading a campus
• 17:03
  fellowship and I had somebody who was in in the medical school
• 17:07
  and the sister campus was the same campus fellowship was in
• 17:10
  the medical school, University of Lagos.
• 17:12
  And this guy was ill and he was one of the vice presidents of
• 17:15
  our two vice presidents in the campus.
• 17:18
  And he was ill. And he was, he was, he was sick
• 17:20
  for almost 3 months. And it was a medical state.
• 17:23
  They tried everything. They couldn't find what was
• 17:25
  going on and one day he came to meet me and when it got whole,
• 17:30
  he said, look, the doctor strike, we didn't find anything.
• 17:34
  He said that I was reading my Bible and we come from the
• 17:38
  background of, you know, no sin, consciousness, righteousness.
• 17:41
  He told me, He said, I can't say.
• 17:43
  He said, but I must tell you where I got to.
• 17:46
  The breakthrough was that I looked into the word of God and
• 17:49
  I got to that part that if any man is sick, let him call for
• 17:52
  the elders of the church. He says, listen, if he has
• 17:55
  committed, he said, I looked at it and I said Lord, and I
• 17:58
  confess to you, if there's anything he said instantly
• 18:01
  within 24 hours I was out of it. He said, listen, he found out
• 18:06
  something. You see it is people that have
• 18:08
  discovered something with God there where they made that
• 18:12
  adjustment, which means when they were seeking, what's this
• 18:15
  thing about and seeking what's this thing about God begins to
• 18:19
  teach and that's the imagines there.
• 18:21
  It comes from that place there of the Bush that was burning.
• 18:25
  So if you are going through something today and the Bush is
• 18:28
  burning and you are not consumed, which means that you
• 18:31
  have given up, but the Holy Ghost has not given up on you.
• 18:34
  You wanted to walk away, but you found a strength on the inside
• 18:37
  of you that kept you going. You thought it was over and
• 18:41
  something happened again. The Bush is burning, but you are
• 18:43
  preserved and you are surviving. Go to God and ask Him this
• 18:47
  question. Why?
• 18:49
  And once you ask why, as you soak yourself in the Word of God
• 18:53
  there, you will begin to see with new eyes and find the
• 18:57
  assignment that God has given unto you.
• 19:01
  So the first thing is you're asking why?
• 19:05
  As Paul said, for this thing I besought the Lord thrice,
• 19:08
  praying the regular prayer points, let it depart.
• 19:12
  And God said, listen, my grace is sufficient.
• 19:15
  There is purpose in this thing, and your weakness shall my
• 19:19
  strength be made perfect. And then you understood and said
• 19:22
  most gladly. Therefore I now take pleasure in
• 19:26
  these things, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
• 19:31
  So first thing about this is understand.
• 19:33
  Go to him and pray and ask him why.
• 19:37
  The second point I want to make as I get into it is that every
• 19:42
  new move, and I'm saying this all right, because this is a
• 19:46
  global platform, every new move of God must encompass everything
• 19:54
  that God has done in the previous generation.
• 19:58
  If you have a new move of the Spirit, God takes into that new
• 20:05
  move essentially everything. That he has done in the previous
• 20:13
  move before that point. And the younger generation must
• 20:18
  understand this, that everything that was taught, that was
• 20:25
  practiced, that was embraced, essential things from board.
• 20:33
  God carries it into the next move.
• 20:37
  I will show scriptures, but let me say this, I'm just use
• 20:39
  something here. You can't have a company saying
• 20:42
  we have a new model of a phone. And then in that new model,
• 20:47
  there are things that were in the old model of the phone that
• 20:50
  this new model does not do. It's not a new model.
• 20:55
  You cannot have. All right, You're saying that we
• 20:58
  have brought out a new model of a car and we enter into that car
• 21:03
  and it's not, it cannot do things that the old model of
• 21:08
  that car arrives called doom. Everything essential thing that
• 21:15
  God did in the old, in the past, or in the last move must be
• 21:21
  carried into the next move of the Spirit.
• 21:27
  John the Baptist preached repentance.
• 21:30
  Let's put it up Luke chapter 3 and verse 3.
• 21:34
  What did John the Baptist preach?
• 21:35
  Luke 3/3 He preached. He came into all the country
• 21:39
  about Jordan preaching the baptism of repentance for the
• 21:44
  remission of sins. His own move.
• 21:48
  And that order ended and God brought in a new order in the
• 21:53
  person of Jesus. But you will find out that Jesus
• 21:58
  did not discard the message of John the Baptist.
• 22:03
  He carried the message of John the Baptist into the new order
• 22:08
  that God was bringing. So if you look at Luke chapter 5
• 22:13
  and verse 32, all right, all right, it's even here from that
• 22:17
  time Jesus began. Thank you very much.
• 22:19
  So preach and to say repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at
• 22:23
  hand. In Luke chapter 5 and verse 32,
• 22:28
  it talks about it says I came not to call the righteous, but
• 22:32
  sinners to repentance. So he preached repentance.
• 22:38
  And so if we're going to enter into it, all these
• 22:41
  transgenerational civil wars that people spark in the body of
• 22:45
  Christ is unnecessary. It is not about the continuity
• 22:50
  of what God wants to do. It's a power grab.
• 22:53
  You know, many years ago people were preaching, I'm preaching
• 22:56
  almost 20 years and people will preach and say Moses is dead,
• 22:59
  Moses is dead. We are the Joshua generation.
• 23:02
  And you know, I once told them, I said, listen, it's God who
• 23:05
  announced that Moses is dead. After Moses died.
• 23:08
  It wasn't Joshua that was going around saying Moses is dead.
• 23:11
  Today, those who are so said Joshua, the Joshua generation
• 23:15
  dead who said Moses is dead, they are the ones that have
• 23:19
  died. Those Moses are still around
• 23:20
  today. So it is important that we
• 23:24
  understand this. And even when Jesus was
• 23:27
  commissioning his disciples in Luke chapter 24 verse 46 to
• 23:31
  verse 47, he essentially told them, you carry, he said, he
• 23:36
  said to them. Thus it is written, all right,
• 23:39
  Christ must suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day.
• 23:43
  But look at what He said and that repentance and the
• 23:46
  remission of Saints to be to be preached in His name among all,
• 23:52
  all nations beginning from Jerusalem.
• 23:55
  It was the message that John the Baptist was preaching that Jesus
• 23:59
  said you have to, you can't have a new move.
• 24:01
  Even when the law was going to be abolished, Jesus said, I have
• 24:05
  not come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it, which means in
• 24:08
  the age of grace, every essential thing that was in the
• 24:11
  law there that God put there is fulfilled in the lives of the
• 24:15
  people that are operating in grace.
• 24:17
  So that we don't get to a point where you laid the foundation of
• 24:20
  a new move and the old people come in and look at it and are
• 24:24
  weeping while you are rejoicing. And they look at the foundation
• 24:27
  of the temple and they are weeping while you are sinking.
• 24:30
  Because with their eyes they can see that everything that we
• 24:34
  taught, everything that we labored for, everything that we
• 24:38
  received, we cannot find it in the foundation of this.
• 24:42
  You cannot have a new move. Where people were more generous
• 24:45
  than to God in the past than the move that you have, you can't
• 24:49
  have a new move. Where people are worked more in
• 24:52
  love than your new move, you can't have a new move.
• 24:54
  Where people are more devoted to prayer than what you call the
• 24:57
  new move, you cannot have a new move.
• 24:59
  Where people were more studious in the word of God than the new
• 25:02
  move there you cannot. Every essential thing that God
• 25:06
  did in the past must be carried right into the new thing that
• 25:12
  God wants to do. I'm going somewhere with this
• 25:13
  here. I'm laid a foundation for it.
• 25:16
  So every single thing must be there.
• 25:20
  And so when we talk about the next position for the church is
• 25:24
  going to emerge from people who in their internal struggles
• 25:29
  there were going through things and they saw the faithfulness of
• 25:33
  God. I remember when we started
• 25:36
  church here, I'm saying this here and and this is how I knew
• 25:39
  that God called me and I knew that there must be something
• 25:42
  because there were times where things were not happening at all
• 25:45
  and I almost surrendered. I said, did God call me?
• 25:48
  In fact, a gentleman that I really respected came to see me
• 25:51
  in the office and told me said, I don't think God called you to
• 25:54
  pass them. I don't think he called you.
• 25:56
  Look at what's going on. You should have blown more than
• 25:58
  this and all of this with the way you teach and all of that.
• 26:01
  Maybe you are called to be an Internet minister shut down all
• 26:04
  of this and I I was there struggling, but in the midst of
• 26:07
  that God preserved me. I will get to the office.
• 26:09
  There will be no light because we didn't couldn't even buy a
• 26:12
  generator. And one day I opened the door
• 26:15
  and I checked draw an envelope dropped.
• 26:17
  I didn't even know what it is. I walked in by the time I came
• 26:20
  out, I opened the envelope and back then there were millions.
• 26:23
  It was the largest thing anybody has ever given.
• 26:26
  God said even though you have not yet seen the salvation that
• 26:30
  is going to be revealed. I am preserving you.
• 26:35
  So you'll be in a place where the Bush is burning, but you are
• 26:39
  not consumed. And we heard about Thanksgiving
• 26:42
  this evening and you must understand this.
• 26:46
  Listen, somebody said, listen, I want I don't say this here.
• 26:49
  The, the when God is preserving you and he's preserving you, it
• 26:53
  is more powerful. Listen, it requires more power
• 26:57
  to preserve than to reveal. Listen, if I came to meet you
• 27:02
  and I told you that, you know, I have a fathom and you know, he's
• 27:05
  a very wealthy man. And so, you know, what he did
• 27:07
  for me was that he gave me some clothes 40 years ago.
• 27:10
  And I've been wearing the clothes for 40 years.
• 27:13
  And those clothes and the shoes have been wearing the same shoe
• 27:16
  for 40 years. And the shoes have not changed,
• 27:18
  the color have not changed. They look brand new and the
• 27:21
  clothes still look brand new and all of that.
• 27:24
  If I tell you he did that or I tell you that he bought me 1000
• 27:28
  new things that were away, it takes more power for a person to
• 27:31
  wear the same thing for 40 years and The thing is kept that way
• 27:36
  then for that person. Are you following what I'm
• 27:39
  saying here? So some of you are standing on
• 27:43
  holy ground and you are looking on the outside.
• 27:46
  This is what I want to say here and inside there, God, it's you
• 27:49
  God wants to use. It's that God wants to use to
• 27:52
  birth something new, but but what is going on here is that
• 27:56
  you are frustrated about it. You are looking at it and say
• 27:58
  this is five loaves among so many and you are comparing
• 28:01
  yourself and and trying to work with other instead of you
• 28:05
  listening to God and understanding that I am standing
• 28:09
  on holy ground this and say God, why, why, why has my whole
• 28:14
  generation gone ahead and I'm still where I am?
• 28:16
  Why? And he will answer you.
• 28:26
  So answering the question why, and then understanding again
• 28:30
  that any new move he's going to do will take essentially
• 28:34
  everything in the old move. And so one major thing that God
• 28:42
  is doing in in in Malachi chapter 4 and verse six, major
• 28:48
  thing that he's doing, and he shall turn the hearts of the
• 28:53
  fathers to the children and the heart of the children to their
• 28:57
  fathers, lest I come and I smite the earth with a curse.
• 29:03
  I believe it's Luke 117. I believe where that thing was
• 29:08
  repeated in the book of Luke. And he says this Luke 1, I think
• 29:13
  17 and it talks about I will turn the heart of the fathers of
• 29:18
  71. All right, so the children and
• 29:21
  the heart of the children, so the wisdom arise of the just
• 29:26
  there. And so he's saying a true
• 29:29
  generation. This is what God wants to do.
• 29:32
  And what happens is every time people get some revelation from
• 29:36
  God, they now begin to say things, you know, even in the
• 29:41
  church in Nigeria, I'm sure globally, we lost some essential
• 29:45
  things from what we will call the back then the SU movement
• 29:48
  there. Yes, He shall go before him in
• 29:50
  the spirit and power of Elijah. Luke 117 to turn the hearts of
• 29:53
  the fathers to children and the disobedience to the wisdom of
• 29:57
  the judge to make a people ready for the Lord, the people that
• 30:00
  will be ready for the Lord. All right, in this end times 2
• 30:03
  generations are going to see themselves perfectly.
• 30:07
  In other words, our Jew generations will see everything
• 30:10
  and we'll get to know Jesus talked about that everything in
• 30:13
  those there will be that's in there will be no friction
• 30:17
  between those generations. There will be no war between
• 30:21
  those generations and so we have to put an end this, you know,
• 30:26
  little civil wars that people do transitional wars is not of God.
• 30:31
  I remember, you know, back then, of course, Woods said it
• 30:33
  carelessly, but as we were growing up in the world
• 30:35
  movement, you simple come out the, the, the scriptural, you
• 30:38
  know, movement had laid a foundation and and it was
• 30:41
  practically impossible for you to be a Christian back then.
• 30:45
  And you wake up in the morning and you will not read your Bible
• 30:48
  and pray. They called it quiet time.
• 30:50
  It was part of the discipleship that they gave or write to them,
• 30:55
  which is the discipleship. People are disciples.
• 30:57
  That was what it was about. And they all read the Bible and
• 31:00
  there was slogans, like slogans like my Bible before my
• 31:06
  breakfast, which means that you read the Bible before you have
• 31:08
  breakfast there. And it was the culture.
• 31:11
  And then when the move began to happen, I had somebody, I mean,
• 31:14
  I'm not saying he said it out of, but people just teach it.
• 31:16
  And we can't be careless about things.
• 31:18
  We must understand because carelessness can go.
• 31:21
  And somebody came up and he was preaching once and a paper from
• 31:24
  minister and he said, listen, I don't do quiet times again.
• 31:27
  I have shouting times. I shot and I was there back
• 31:31
  then. I was listening and and you
• 31:33
  know, I didn't understand, but I remember that.
• 31:35
  And when I began to see people, I said, ah, maybe, maybe all
• 31:40
  right. We can see to what God has given
• 31:43
  to us and integrate it into every single thing that has gone
• 31:47
  before and see it and integrate it so that there's continuity in
• 31:53
  it. So every single thing that was
• 31:56
  that was built into the past, He is not lost in the new field
• 32:01
  that we are doing. This therefore brings me to my
• 32:05
  Third Point here in John chapter 4 verse 35 to verse 38.
• 32:12
  Here he said, say not there are yet four months before the
• 32:17
  harvest. Behold, I say unto you, lift up
• 32:22
  your eyes and look into the fields for their whites, all
• 32:27
  ready to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth
• 32:33
  wages and gathered fruits unto life eternal, that both he that
• 32:39
  soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
• 32:44
  So Jesus said, hearing is the same truth, one soweth, another
• 32:49
  reapeth. Verse 38 I sent you to reap that
• 32:54
  wherein you bestowed no label, other men labeled and you have
• 33:00
  entered into their labels. In other words, God is sending
• 33:06
  us to enter into the labels of others seeds that were sown.
• 33:16
  People look at it and say these were the seeds we sold, that we
• 33:20
  never saw the fulfillment of it. A generation has arisen, Joshua
• 33:27
  continued. There's continuity in ministry.
• 33:31
  Moses calling what he entered into was a prophecy that God had
• 33:35
  given to Abraham, where he said your children will be bonded for
• 33:39
  400 years. After that God will judge.
• 33:42
  It was the fulfilment of a prophetic Every accurate
• 33:46
  ministry is an interpretation of an unfulfilled vision.
• 33:50
  In the past, they said I sent you to labour where in when you
• 33:55
  entered to rib where you bestowed no label.
• 33:57
  Others have labeled and you are entering into the labels of
• 34:01
  these people. And so as people enter into that
• 34:04
  label there and enter into things that has happened.
• 34:08
  And I'm saying this for the younger generation.
• 34:10
  That is very important that when we listen to you preach, we hear
• 34:16
  you and saying you explained better the message of so and so
• 34:21
  that used to preach in the 80s. You have entered into the label
• 34:25
  of that person. We look at the meetings that you
• 34:28
  are holding and say this is a continuity of something that has
• 34:32
  happened. A great man of God in this
• 34:35
  country, an elderly man called me and they said, you know, we
• 34:37
  used to have a meeting in the 80s.
• 34:40
  They said the meeting in the 80s.
• 34:41
  He said now I've seen he was, I almost broke into tears because
• 34:45
  I know him. He doesn't talk like he said,
• 34:47
  I've seen that the mantle on that meeting had left us and it
• 34:50
  has dropped on walk back. It is there.
• 34:52
  So he was saying they can always see it.
• 34:56
  There's continuity there. It is what David dreamt that
• 35:01
  Solomon came to build. It is the land that Moses saw,
• 35:05
  that he entered, that Joshua carried the people to enter
• 35:07
  into. John chapter 8, verse 7, it says
• 35:21
  though that beginning was small, yet the latter end should
• 35:25
  greatly increase. How is it going to happen now?
• 35:30
  We call that scripture, but there is a technology to it.
• 35:33
  Look at the next verse, it says, for enquire I pray thee, of the
• 35:39
  former age, and prepared thyself to the search of their fathers.
• 35:46
  Next verse it says, For we are bought of yesterday, and know
• 35:50
  nothing, because our days upon the earth as a shadow.
• 35:54
  And then he says, Shall they not teach thee, and shall they not
• 35:59
  tell thee, and utter words out of their hearts?
• 36:04
  Then he goes on, Can the rush grow up without the mayor?
• 36:08
  Can the flag grow up without the water?
• 36:11
  That's why he said, listen, you said four months, it's going to
• 36:13
  take time, he said. We can collapse time.
• 36:17
  What should have taken 30 years can take 3 years.
• 36:20
  But the only way that is going to happen, and you are going to
• 36:22
  have, though the beginning was small and your latter and
• 36:24
  greatly increases and the trajectory goes up, is because
• 36:27
  you took that vision and planted it all right into teachings that
• 36:32
  had gone on in the past 100 years ago, 60 years ago, you
• 36:36
  discovered things. And as you began to read and
• 36:38
  study and you saw the move of God and you saw that he says
• 36:41
  growth will begin to happen right there.
• 36:44
  He says what you thought would take four months will happen
• 36:46
  now. And the reason is that you have
• 36:48
  entered into the labels of other people.
• 36:52
  So it is important that we understand this.
• 36:55
  And it's important that you research and know what went
• 36:59
  before and that you study and that you come to understand so
• 37:06
  that you are building correctly and accurately.
• 37:11
  And, and what will define you as a person in your own generation
• 37:15
  is the challenges that you met along the way.
• 37:19
  And you ask God why? And as He began to answer you,
• 37:23
  you saw your assignment right there in the midst of it.
• 37:27
  And then you enter all right into the things that He has
• 37:30
  commanded. Having said that, let me now say
• 37:38
  what I came here to say. Now I laid a foundation for that
• 37:48
  to say this here because my topic is about the strategic
• 37:54
  position in there of the church. I believe firmly that the church
• 38:08
  has gotten to a point here and that God is calling the
• 38:15
  believers into something and he gave me a scripture in
• 38:26
  Revelation chapter 3 and verse 17.
• 38:32
  It says because thou sayest I am rich and increased in goods and
• 38:41
  I have need of nothing. I believe the church globally in
• 38:49
  part where they move, we have experienced material prosperity
• 38:56
  and that the church in the past, which they talk about as poor as
• 39:01
  a church rat, is no longer what we experienced today in the
• 39:10
  church. However, God is telling us that
• 39:19
  yes you have goods, you are rich, but there is something
• 39:24
  else that I want you to get into, which is why we are
• 39:29
  talking about purpose. It's almost like after Jesus
• 39:34
  took Peter and he caught fish and Peter carried the fish in
• 39:39
  abundance and said, I have been blessed by Jesus and left Jesus
• 39:45
  and went to sell the fish as a fisherman and said Jesus blessed
• 39:49
  me but missed the point of his purpose.
• 39:54
  In other words, once he saw the purpose there, he left the fish
• 39:57
  and followed Jesus and said, from now on I shall catch men.
• 40:03
  And so it's important that we understand purpose.
• 40:07
  Look, one day while I was in school, I was going with a
• 40:11
  gentleman. You know, he was flying to Ivory
• 40:15
  Coast, to Bainbridge and I could, I was in school, I was in
• 40:19
  university. So I followed him and my pastor
• 40:22
  was there and he called the man aside and he said you have
• 40:27
  money, you have crowd, you have fame.
• 40:32
  He said go and find out what God has sent you to do now and focus
• 40:37
  on it now. You don't need all these things,
• 40:39
  you have it. And I looked and I said I was
• 40:43
  shocked. And what he was talking about
• 40:46
  was the depth there of purpose. And that's why I said this thing
• 40:51
  is defined by your own struggles, that other people may
• 40:56
  call you blessed, but there's an internal struggle that tells you
• 41:00
  there's a new position. And if you don't know that and
• 41:04
  solve that particular issue and go to God and say, what's this
• 41:07
  about? People look at you on the
• 41:10
  outside and even tell your grandma, but but there's purpose
• 41:12
  and he wants us to go in and he went and told them in the next
• 41:16
  verse, verse 18, he said I can't sell thee, so buy of me gold.
• 41:25
  That means he said go and buy gold that is tried with fire.
• 41:30
  And these are the three things I want to talk about.
• 41:32
  Gold that is tried with fire, that you may be rich, you see,
• 41:40
  because if you have gold that is tried with fire, it may have
• 41:43
  wealth. But if that gold that is tried
• 41:46
  with fire, which is a spiritual substance, is not there.
• 41:51
  The woman with the issue of blood had wealth, natural
• 41:54
  resources, she spent all that she had, but rather grew worse.
• 42:00
  But when she met somebody who had that gold, that spiritual
• 42:04
  substance, she said, if I would just touch the hem of his
• 42:08
  garment, I shall be made whole. And that thing entered into her
• 42:13
  and she was completely healed. There is gold that is tried with
• 42:18
  fire. And then the next one says white
• 42:21
  garments. In other words, to put on white
• 42:25
  garments. And then the thought is to
• 42:29
  anoint your eyes with your eyes with ice sleeve that you may
• 42:36
  see. So we are coming into a place in
• 42:40
  the church here. Look, we will have wealth, we
• 42:43
  will always, we will be blessed, but it will make no difference.
• 42:49
  In other words, I can have a Rolls Royce.
• 42:55
  If the assignment says I should go on with a motorbike to get
• 42:59
  somewhere, I will get out of the road.
• 43:00
  It makes no difference. The means, it doesn't make it.
• 43:04
  It's not a social thing. It's something that we
• 43:07
  understand that we are not attached to those things and we
• 43:11
  are not measuring our success, again by material things on the
• 43:17
  outside. We are measuring by the nature
• 43:20
  of the impact that we have upon society.
• 43:26
  And so he says go and buy gold that is tried with fire.
• 43:32
  The second he talks about white garments and the third he talks
• 43:38
  about ice leaf and within a time giving on to be able to torch on
• 43:43
  these three things today, which means the gold tried with fire
• 43:51
  and he said buy it is Jesus Christ that died for your sin
• 43:56
  that said buy it. In other words, I paid, but this
• 44:02
  one you have to buy and he said buy of me gold try to fire.
• 44:09
  In other words, there's going to be a sacrifice on your own path
• 44:12
  to get this. There's a price that you are
• 44:16
  going to have to pay to get to this, and it says there is that
• 44:21
  price you will have to pay. And it's a price of
• 44:24
  concentration. It's a price of separating
• 44:29
  yourself and spending time alone with God in order to be able to
• 44:36
  receive this spiritual substance that is called gold.
• 44:41
  And everybody that received it in Scripture all right separated
• 44:47
  themselves and had times of concentration, which means we
• 44:53
  reorganize our lives. And in our discipleship, you
• 44:58
  come to a point and we get to it.
• 45:00
  And, and the demands on the outside will, will, will make
• 45:03
  you, you demands that we have on the outside calls for that
• 45:07
  particular thing. I remember we invited Apostle
• 45:12
  Kure to come and, and come and speak for us recently.
• 45:15
  And and I mean, it's a deep man. I just want to say something.
• 45:19
  I mean, Apostle Salman didn't, wasn't there when he said this.
• 45:22
  Let me just say this. Yeah.
• 45:23
  And he said I was coming to this meeting and I wanted to get the
• 45:26
  flow of the spirit in this meeting.
• 45:28
  It was a conference we had first week in September, he said.
• 45:32
  So once I saw Apostle Selma was speaking, I tuned in, he said,
• 45:36
  because he's sensitive to the Spirit.
• 45:39
  So I connected with what God wanted to see.
• 45:42
  And he said, I came into this meeting, well, I'm just saying
• 45:44
  this all right, We don't know. All right, with that particular
• 45:46
  thing, boy, he said something. He said we used to have meetings
• 45:51
  where 14 hours will be in the presence of God.
• 45:54
  He said and the glory of God will come upon us.
• 45:58
  They said you will have people that I don't want to say, but
• 46:02
  top people in government. They will take off their shoes
• 46:04
  and come in at the glory of God. He said some of the things we
• 46:07
  are seeing today, we did not see them there because of that.
• 46:12
  So it talks about buying gold there and as a price and and it
• 46:16
  talks about it in Isaiah chapter 55, Isaiah 55 and and verse one
• 46:22
  to verse 4. It talks about who everyone that
• 46:26
  says come to me to the waters, come with more, more money and
• 46:30
  come and buy and eat, come and buy wine and milk without money
• 46:35
  and without price. He says they were four.
• 46:39
  Why do you spend money for that which is not bread, and you
• 46:43
  label for that which satisfyeth not?
• 46:46
  Now there's a labour for that thing.
• 46:48
  It's what Jesus referred to when he did miracles, and the people
• 46:51
  came to meet him and said, You know you must fly loaves.
• 46:54
  Well, He said, he said, labour not for the meats that perishes,
• 46:57
  but labour for that one that endures to eternal life.
• 47:01
  Wherefore do you spend money for that which is not bread?
• 47:03
  And you labour for that which satisfy not hacking diligently
• 47:07
  unto me. And it's that which is good, and
• 47:09
  your soul shall delight itself in fatness.
• 47:13
  And then it says, incline your ear.
• 47:15
  So the way we get to this gold, I want to say this is by hearing
• 47:19
  the voice of God claiming it says, incline your ear, come on
• 47:22
  to me and hear, and your soul shall live, and I shall make an
• 47:25
  everlasting covenant with you. Even the short message of David
• 47:29
  and the next verse, behold, I've given him for a weakness.
• 47:31
  That's as a proof and as a leader and as a commander to the
• 47:35
  people. He then says in verse 5, which
• 47:37
  means if you connected with this thing, he said, you shall call a
• 47:41
  nation that thou knowest not and nations that you did not shall
• 47:44
  come down into you. In other words, if a person has
• 47:47
  gold on that substance inside, if they're looking for a job,
• 47:50
  they will get up and they will call for that job there.
• 47:53
  They won't even pray. I want to show you and pray for
• 47:55
  it. They will call for it and many
• 47:57
  jobs will start coming towards them.
• 47:59
  Jesus had that gold. Peter told all night and caught
• 48:02
  nothing. When he put it down, he too saw
• 48:04
  that somebody had spiritual substance.
• 48:08
  Can you imagine how much will transform society if every
• 48:12
  Christian was carrying this this gold that is tried with fire on
• 48:18
  the inside of ourselves? It says you will have prophetic
• 48:23
  power. You will speak two things and
• 48:26
  they will respond as you'll be somebody that you will come out
• 48:31
  inside the office and and and you say hold it peace and people
• 48:37
  will see that it says go for this particular gold.
• 48:42
  It is what Peter and John had where we see in Acts chapter 3
• 48:45
  and verse 6 where they said here Peter said silver and gold have
• 48:52
  I known. Now look at look at verse.
• 48:55
  Let's start from verse 3 because of time.
• 48:58
  Verse three, I want to show you something.
• 49:00
  Now the man who's seen Jesus, who's seen Peter and John about
• 49:05
  to go into the temple, asked alms.
• 49:08
  So he asked for silver and gold. Peter fastened his eyes upon him
• 49:12
  with John. Now here what they said, I'm
• 49:16
  quoting the Scripture. No, I'm not saying something,
• 49:18
  I'm quoting the Scripture. They said look on us.
• 49:22
  Peter and John told the man, look on us.
• 49:27
  In other words, we are carrying something, look on us.
• 49:31
  Then he went on and said, he said and he gave it expecting to
• 49:35
  receive something. And then the next verse he tells
• 49:39
  us Peter said silver and gold have I known?
• 49:44
  But there is something that I have, such as I have, I have it,
• 49:52
  it's in my possession, it is resident on the inside of me and
• 49:57
  I want to transfer what I have to you.
• 49:59
  The man came praying and asking for silver and gold, which means
• 50:04
  we may be praying and asking God for silver and gold.
• 50:07
  And God is saying there's something superior to silver and
• 50:09
  gold. They said there's something
• 50:12
  superior to silver and gold, that it operates from a
• 50:15
  commanding height that if you speak silver and gold has to
• 50:18
  respond to it. He says silver and gold have I
• 50:20
  known but such as I have, I'm about to give you that thing.
• 50:23
  He said in the name of Jesus Christ, rise up and walk.
• 50:27
  The man came to beg. They solved his problem
• 50:30
  permanently and removed him from beggarly states forever.
• 50:38
  Now is this gold here that is saying that he wants the church
• 50:42
  here to have on the inside of ourselves and this gold here is
• 50:48
  talking about how do how do we get to it.
• 50:49
  Let let me give an example of this gold.
• 50:52
  It's something that the reason why they said I mean, if, if if
• 50:55
  I give you 10,000 naira, if I give it to you, it's yours and
• 51:00
  you are therefore you have a right to go out and then give
• 51:04
  that money freely as you wish to do.
• 51:07
  I no longer you can give it. So Peter and John said, look on
• 51:12
  us, because they had received something from gold and what
• 51:18
  they had received, they knew they received it.
• 51:20
  It was with them. It was under their jurisdiction
• 51:24
  now. And therefore they were going to
• 51:27
  release that particular thing that that gold here, you may not
• 51:32
  even have time to pray. You must be a carrier of that
• 51:35
  substance because the Viper that beat Paul, if Paul did not carry
• 51:39
  it in his body, he didn't have time to say, Father, heal me, he
• 51:43
  will have that. Do you know what we're saying
• 51:44
  here? It is that thing that was inside
• 51:48
  Jesus that they came and and woman certified touch.
• 51:51
  I have spent money there's no solution if I touch it this
• 51:54
  carrying something that will enter into me.
• 51:57
  The church has to be carriers of that particular thing that you
• 52:02
  can see a person who may not even have 50,000 in his pocket,
• 52:06
  but he can tell you come back here tomorrow at 12 noon and you
• 52:10
  will have 10 million right here. And he will call the team in the
• 52:13
  realm of the spirit and people will come from where they were
• 52:16
  and said we had a voice saying we should come and give you
• 52:19
  this. That is the goal he's talking
• 52:21
  about. So how do you get it?
• 52:34
  Apostle talked about fruitfulness.
• 52:35
  Look at John chapter 15 verse 15 and verse 16 John 1515 and 16.
• 52:40
  Here it says, henceforth I do not call you servants for the
• 52:44
  servant who has known what the Lord doeth, but I've called you
• 52:46
  friends for all things that I have heard of my father I have
• 52:50
  made known unto you, which means I told you next verse.
• 52:54
  He now goes on and says, You have not chosen me, but I've
• 52:57
  chosen you, and I've ordained that you should go and bring
• 53:01
  forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain that whatsoever
• 53:05
  you ask of my Father in my name, he will give it.
• 53:09
  In other words, they had asked for certain things.
• 53:12
  That's why they were going into the temple and they were there
• 53:16
  in prayer, and they asked for certain things, and they became
• 53:19
  carriers of those things. And so when they met him, they
• 53:22
  said, look, young man here, we don't have silver and gold in
• 53:26
  our pocket right now to give you, but we have something that
• 53:29
  is superior to this. We look at an example of a man.
• 53:35
  I'll give 2 examples of this and go to the next one of, of, of
• 53:38
  Paul in Acts chapter 27 verse verse 15.
• 53:43
  And because Paul was carrying that substance in him, Paul when
• 53:47
  they were about to say it, he said, I perceive, I perceive
• 53:50
  that this journey will be towards harm and damage.
• 53:53
  I perceive it. They didn't listen to him.
• 53:55
  They went on. Now they now ran into trouble
• 53:58
  and when the sheep was caught, the Bible says, and they could
• 54:02
  not bear up into the wind. I'm going to get into how we get
• 54:05
  this gold here. And we let her drive.
• 54:07
  So the sheep was going everywhere.
• 54:09
  They let her drive and running under a Saturn island which is
• 54:13
  called Clodagh. We had much work to come by the
• 54:16
  boat which when they had taken up they used helps under
• 54:22
  guarding the ship fearing less it should fall into quicksand
• 54:25
  straight sail. So we were so are we driven and
• 54:29
  we've been exceedingly tossed with a Tempest.
• 54:33
  He said the next day, which may exist 24 hours, at least he was
• 54:36
  talking from that point. The next day, all right, they
• 54:39
  lighten the ship. Paul didn't participate in that
• 54:42
  at least he said they lighten the ship.
• 54:44
  Then the next verse and on the third day we cast, which means
• 54:48
  Paul also. They were trying to solve the
• 54:50
  problem. And you see when you try and
• 54:52
  solve a problem without the the true gold, this is what you do.
• 54:55
  They were trying to cast out with our own hands the tackling
• 54:58
  of the sheep. And then the Scripture says and
• 55:01
  when neither sun nor stars in many days.
• 55:04
  So there was one day there was third day.
• 55:06
  Now many days, we don't know how many there are, but there were
• 55:08
  many days appeared, and no small Tempest or not, and all hope
• 55:13
  that we should be saved was taken away.
• 55:16
  But after long abstinence, as how Paul got it, long after that
• 55:22
  he withdrew himself from all that activity.
• 55:27
  Paul stood forth in the midst of them and said, SARS, you should
• 55:32
  have heckoned on to be and not to have loosed from great, and
• 55:35
  to have gained this harm and loss.
• 55:37
  And then he said, Now I exhort you, be of good share, for there
• 55:42
  shall be no loss. This what we should carry into
• 55:47
  the world. This is what we should carry.
• 55:49
  This is the goal. We should carry the the
• 55:52
  companies in a situation. You rise up there and say, Sir,
• 55:56
  as you should have taken to my advice, you despise my wisdom
• 55:58
  when I was telling you where to invest.
• 56:00
  But now be of good share. There shall be no loss of any
• 56:05
  man's life. This is the authority that you
• 56:09
  carry, all right. In this way, no loss of any
• 56:11
  man's life, but of the sheep. And then he went on and said,
• 56:15
  for there stood hear what Paul said by me this night.
• 56:20
  It did not happen yesterday. It did not happen at the
• 56:25
  beginning. It did not happen after three
• 56:27
  days. Paul said, what I am saying to
• 56:30
  you, Paul was teaching the New Testament.
• 56:34
  He knew Scriptures, but Paul didn't come out and quote
• 56:37
  Scripture. He said.
• 56:39
  He said there stood by me this night.
• 56:42
  In other words, something happened this night and based on
• 56:46
  what happened this night, I am making this declaration.
• 56:50
  Paul knew some 91. He didn't quote that.
• 56:53
  He said something happened this night.
• 56:56
  Are you following? I'm saying Paul had an encounter
• 56:58
  where there was the transference of that particular thing on the
• 57:01
  inside of him. And he said this night an Angel
• 57:04
  of Lord, whose I am and who myself and was refined to Jesus
• 57:07
  saying, fear not Paul, thou must be brought before all before
• 57:11
  Caesar and Lord God has given them all that sail we be.
• 57:14
  And then he says wherefore says be of good share.
• 57:17
  I believe God that it shall be as it was told me.
• 57:20
  In other words, he spends time alone with God and got to the
• 57:26
  point where he got that spiritual substance in an
• 57:31
  internal encounter with God in the place of prayer.
• 57:38
  And he came out and he stopped all of the throwing of stuff and
• 57:44
  stood on that high platform there in the spirit realm and
• 57:48
  said, declared it will be. And he was so accurate in the
• 57:54
  Spirit, he didn't come and say God will save everything.
• 57:57
  He said, look, there will be the loss of the sheep.
• 58:00
  You know why you don't function this way?
• 58:02
  I am just dealing with faith confessions.
• 58:05
  And somebody says, you know, there will be the loss of the
• 58:07
  sheep. You will say, God forbid no
• 58:09
  sheep will be lost. Nothing of mine will be lost.
• 58:11
  I have no suffer no loss. You know, you see, that's not
• 58:14
  the gold. You know when somebody said I'm
• 58:16
  in the on the 15th floor, we are coming down to the first floor.
• 58:19
  God forbid we don't come down. We only go up in are you
• 58:23
  following? I'm saying we've trivialized
• 58:25
  this thing. It's like, can you come
• 58:28
  downstairs? I don't go downstairs, I only go
• 58:30
  upstairs. This is spiritual substance here
• 58:37
  that you are releasing into the atmosphere.
• 58:39
  This is something you contacted after long abstinence that you
• 58:43
  stood with gold. This is this is that's why he
• 58:46
  says gold that is tried with fire in the midst of a situation
• 58:50
  there a test in time you went to God and that pin entered into
• 58:54
  you. He says be of good share.
• 58:58
  There shall be no loss of any man's life but of the ship.
• 59:01
  He says it shall be He contacted that particular thing.
• 59:06
  And So what is he saying where are we going to this?
• 59:10
  It's about hearing the voice. He heard the voice of God.
• 59:13
  He stayed in the place of prayer until he had the voice of God
• 59:19
  concerning that particular thing.
• 59:21
  He had God's voice. And we can push in prayer and we
• 59:27
  can persist in prayer, and we can take the promises of God and
• 59:31
  push in the place of prayer and stay in the place of prayer and
• 59:35
  stay in the place of prayer and stay in the place of prayer
• 59:38
  until we hear God's voice concerning it.
• 59:40
  And when you hear God's voice, it settles the issue.
• 59:43
  You, you know what will be the outcome of the matter.
• 59:44
  You get up, I say it's a don't deal.
• 59:49
  Look at Jesus here dealing with his gold here in John Chapter
• 59:53
  11, verse one to verse 11. Now there was this man who was
• 1:00:03
  sick, whose name was Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and
• 1:00:09
  his sister Martha. And it was Mary which anointed
• 1:00:13
  the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair.
• 1:00:17
  Whose brother Lazarus was sick, Therefore his sister sends to
• 1:00:23
  him saying, Lord, behold him whom thou lovest is sick.
• 1:00:31
  Now that love that means the person you like, you are fond of
• 1:00:37
  him. It's not just there's a Gappa.
• 1:00:40
  There are four different types of love.
• 1:00:42
  I mean, we should show a gappa to everybody, but we are not
• 1:00:45
  friends of every person. And in the same way there's a
• 1:00:49
  love that is called Eros, which is a sexual attraction, which
• 1:00:54
  only should be between a husband and wife.
• 1:00:56
  But but you can love everybody. There's a love between family
• 1:01:00
  members that is different. And So what they were saying was
• 1:01:03
  that you love this man, you like him and and they were using that
• 1:01:06
  to beat Jesus to come. That's why they kept saying whom
• 1:01:10
  thou lovest is sick, the person you like.
• 1:01:12
  Now there's a reason we'll see this you like is sick come now
• 1:01:16
  next verse it tells us when Jesus heard that he said this
• 1:01:21
  sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of the Lord that
• 1:01:25
  the Son of God may be glorified thereby.
• 1:01:28
  So he said something. Now if you don't hear God, Jesus
• 1:01:36
  said this sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God,
• 1:01:41
  that the Son of man. Please understand that that man
• 1:01:44
  died. You'll have thought what Jesus
• 1:01:47
  was saying did not work if you are not operating in deep
• 1:01:51
  fellowship with God. If it's the letter you are
• 1:01:54
  reading, you say, but Jesus, he said he won't die, but the man
• 1:01:57
  died. So he said, it's not unto death,
• 1:01:59
  but for the glory of God, that the Son of man may be glorified
• 1:02:02
  thereby. Next verse it says Now Jesus
• 1:02:05
  loved that same word again, Martha and her sister and
• 1:02:10
  Lazarus, they were trying to beat him.
• 1:02:12
  Look at the next verse the Bible says.
• 1:02:14
  And when he heard therefore that he was sick, he abode still in
• 1:02:21
  the same place for two days. Why did Jesus do that?
• 1:02:27
  People he liked and was fond of was sick.
• 1:02:30
  And Jesus abode still in the place for two days, and then
• 1:02:37
  after two days remember long abstinence.
• 1:02:40
  Next verse it says verse 7. Then after that he saith unto
• 1:02:48
  his disciples, Let us go to Judah again.
• 1:02:52
  Now we'll get why he stayed still.
• 1:02:54
  The next verse tells us that His disciples said unto him, Master,
• 1:03:00
  we are going back to Judea. This is the place where we were
• 1:03:04
  just stoned. The Master, the Jews of late
• 1:03:07
  sought to stone thee, and thou goest again hit her.
• 1:03:12
  Now you must understand that they were not just saying
• 1:03:15
  something. Jesus actually escaped from that
• 1:03:18
  place and ran away. If you go to John chapter 10,
• 1:03:21
  verse 31, John 1031, it says John 1031.
• 1:03:26
  Let's quickly look at it. John 10 and the Jews took up
• 1:03:29
  stones again to stone Him. Then we go to verse 39 because
• 1:03:34
  of time and the Bible tells us that verse 39 that that
• 1:03:40
  therefore they sought again to take him, but he escaped out of
• 1:03:45
  their hands. So Jesus knew how to escape.
• 1:03:48
  Some of you don't know how to they're too spiritual to escape.
• 1:03:53
  How you following Jesus escaped. So after they took off, I'm sure
• 1:03:59
  the disciples said how we escaped, we are now saying we
• 1:04:02
  should go back there. Don't you think we're going to
• 1:04:06
  get ourselves into that situation?
• 1:04:09
  Now Satan was doing something. He wanted to get Jesus so he
• 1:04:13
  went for Lazarus knowing that Jesus liked Lazarus to beat
• 1:04:16
  Lazarus to beat Jesus to come. So he attacked Jesus folk and
• 1:04:20
  stood still. He knew the power game that was
• 1:04:23
  going on. And after two days he now got
• 1:04:26
  up. He said let's go.
• 1:04:28
  And then they said in verse 9, Jesus now answered, are there
• 1:04:33
  not 12 hours in the day? If every man walk in the day, he
• 1:04:37
  stumbleth not because he share the light of the world, then the
• 1:04:41
  next verse, but if a man walks in the night, he stumbleth
• 1:04:45
  because there's no light in him. In other words, you said, you
• 1:04:48
  see what you don't understand is that they stoned us during the
• 1:04:51
  night season. We are going back now in
• 1:04:56
  daytime. Now when he said daytime, he
• 1:05:00
  wasn't talking about physical sunlight and darkness, because
• 1:05:04
  he was talking about that it is better for you to go secretly at
• 1:05:07
  night than to go during the day when it's opened.
• 1:05:11
  And Jesus said whoever goes in the daytime will never stumble.
• 1:05:16
  He said it is daytime, we will go back.
• 1:05:19
  The people that were throwing stones at us will greet us and
• 1:05:22
  escort us to Lazarus House, because something has happened
• 1:05:25
  in the realm of the spirit, he said.
• 1:05:27
  Listen, it is daytime, it is daytime.
• 1:05:30
  The Bible says weeping and endure for the night, but joy
• 1:05:32
  comes. It is daytime.
• 1:05:34
  It is daytime. That's what Peter was saying.
• 1:05:36
  Take heed onto the water as a light that shines in darkness
• 1:05:39
  until the day dawns and the day star rises, which means it is
• 1:05:43
  daytime. So he wasn't talking about light
• 1:05:45
  on the outside. He said if any man walks in the
• 1:05:47
  night, he stumbled because there's no light in him.
• 1:05:50
  So the daytime is in you. The daytime is not outside,
• 1:05:54
  which means Jesus shifted to that daytime.
• 1:05:57
  So he waited for two hours because for two days they were
• 1:06:00
  but trying to get him all right because of somebody he knew,
• 1:06:03
  emotionally calm so he could come in the night season.
• 1:06:05
  Certainly what was going on, He switched it in the place of
• 1:06:08
  prayer and it got to the daytime on the inside.
• 1:06:12
  He said, let's go. Now, by that time, we're going
• 1:06:17
  to see something here. When you're dealing with this
• 1:06:19
  substance, Jesus said we're going to wake Lazarus up.
• 1:06:23
  So what happened was what I came to tell Jesus was that Lazarus
• 1:06:26
  is sick. Nobody informed him about that.
• 1:06:28
  Lazarus had died. In his prayer he connected with
• 1:06:32
  God. God said the man has gone now he
• 1:06:35
  stayed there praying about it, stayed there praying about it,
• 1:06:38
  reversed it. In the place of prayer.
• 1:06:40
  He said, got up, you can now go and now wake him up.
• 1:06:42
  That's how we that's how nobody came to tell him what they told
• 1:06:44
  him. He was sick.
• 1:06:45
  If he wasn't operating with divine intelligence, he would
• 1:06:48
  have gone there and said he's still sick.
• 1:06:49
  And then So what? He's dead.
• 1:06:50
  He's dead. He's dead.
• 1:06:51
  He connected there and that is what we have of Jacob when the
• 1:06:57
  Bible says in Genesis chapter 32 and verse 24.
• 1:07:00
  The Bible tells us Genesis 32 and verse 24 and Jacob was left
• 1:07:05
  alone and there wrestle the and there wrestle the man with him
• 1:07:09
  until the breaking of the day. That is, he stayed there in
• 1:07:13
  prayer until the breaking of the day.
• 1:07:15
  And when that day broke, the Angel said to him, you are no
• 1:07:19
  longer Jacob, you are now Israel, for you have power with
• 1:07:23
  God and man. You control the realm of the
• 1:07:25
  spirit and you control the physical realm.
• 1:07:31
  They're staying in prayer until the breaking of the day in your
• 1:07:36
  consciousness where you stay there.
• 1:07:41
  So Jesus got up and said, let us now go.
• 1:07:45
  And he went there and he spoke to Lazarus.
• 1:07:54
  So we needed to, you know, because of time.
• 1:07:57
  Jesus said it this way. He said you read the scriptures
• 1:08:00
  because you think in them you have eternal life.
• 1:08:05
  He said, But you have never heard my voice, God's voice,
• 1:08:11
  neither have you ever seen his shape.
• 1:08:13
  He said, but you know the Scriptures and you read them.
• 1:08:17
  He said the mistake you are making is that you think that
• 1:08:20
  your knowledge of the Scriptures equates to the substance of what
• 1:08:25
  that Scripture is saying. He said, those scriptures
• 1:08:28
  testify of me. He said But you will not come to
• 1:08:32
  me that you might obtain this life.
• 1:08:35
  In other words, if the scripture tells you I'm the healer, you
• 1:08:38
  come to come and meet me and I will impact that healing, which
• 1:08:43
  means they testify. So the Scriptures testify and we
• 1:08:47
  take that testimony back to God in prayer.
• 1:08:50
  So Paul must have taken this Psalm 91.
• 1:08:52
  He knew to God in prayer that he that dwelleth in the sacred
• 1:08:56
  place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the
• 1:08:59
  man and mighty. And he stayed there and prayed
• 1:09:01
  until the breaking of the day and he heard the voice of God.
• 1:09:04
  And when he came down, wasn't Psalm 91, he came down with he
• 1:09:07
  said, I cannot die until I preach to Caesar.
• 1:09:10
  That was voice. So we stay there in prayer and
• 1:09:19
  pray over the scriptures that we know and the promises that we
• 1:09:22
  know. This spiritual substance is the
• 1:09:25
  same thing that Jesus had when he said, listen, want to feed
• 1:09:28
  the multitude. The first thing they said, he
• 1:09:31
  said this is the amount of money we need.
• 1:09:32
  He said it's not about money. We have something superior to
• 1:09:35
  money, so let them go and let them depart, he said.
• 1:09:39
  I have something they need not depart.
• 1:09:41
  There's something in me that is superior to this.
• 1:09:45
  So somebody else can be richer than you, wealthier than you,
• 1:09:52
  but they know you are their prophet because what money
• 1:09:55
  cannot get your mouth can bring into their lives.
• 1:10:01
  The respects they have is not because of your materiality,
• 1:10:04
  it's the commanding authority you have in the realm of the
• 1:10:06
  spirit that he came to me jealous for tax.
• 1:10:10
  He said go and open, go into the front there.
• 1:10:12
  That's gold. That's what we're talking about.
• 1:10:13
  That's the transaction. I want to say this here.
• 1:10:22
  It happened to my junior system. Just you allow me to say this.
• 1:10:25
  My father is a medical doctor is a surgeon.
• 1:10:28
  My sister one day was ill, terribly ill and and, and so it
• 1:10:33
  was really she was really ill. So my father called all his
• 1:10:36
  friends and he called, I mean, this were retired surgeons, head
• 1:10:40
  of department were in fact the person who followed her, who
• 1:10:44
  followed her in the ambulance from Lagos to Badon.
• 1:10:47
  There was the head of department of surgery in Kingsford
• 1:10:50
  Hospital. He was his friend in Saudi
• 1:10:51
  Arabia. He sat in the ambulance with her
• 1:10:54
  that listen, I must monitor her. Nothing must happen.
• 1:10:57
  When they got to the point they were looking at it, what's going
• 1:10:59
  on, what's going on, what's going on?
• 1:11:01
  All of them could not operate because they were afraid that if
• 1:11:03
  we operate and she dies, it will be on our hands.
• 1:11:05
  They knew there was a gentleman there who was a surgeon to a
• 1:11:08
  young surgeon. They had trained him.
• 1:11:10
  Reverend Victor Adibo is Reverend Jord Adibo's brother,
• 1:11:13
  he said. He told me like he said, I'm
• 1:11:15
  going to pray. My father came home and told my
• 1:11:18
  mother. He said.
• 1:11:18
  He said, so what's the position now?
• 1:11:19
  He said the man said he's going to play, we are going to wait
• 1:11:22
  for him after he prays to hear what he came.
• 1:11:24
  The man came back. Reverend Victor, he said,
• 1:11:26
  listen, I have prayed. He said God has answered.
• 1:11:29
  He said we can go in. The other senior surgeons
• 1:11:31
  followed him. As he opened, the first thing
• 1:11:33
  that came out of his mouth was the bed.
• 1:11:35
  How come she's still alive? Listen, if you have the
• 1:11:37
  substance, everybody will follow you.
• 1:11:51
  I'm bringing this to close. Here is the white garments.
• 1:11:55
  The garments are what you put on, and it says that you can't
• 1:12:01
  walk about. You see, in the realm of the
• 1:12:02
  spirit you can be naked the same way you put on physical clothes
• 1:12:07
  in the realm of the spirit. Your inner man has every faculty
• 1:12:11
  your outer man has. Your inner man has eyes.
• 1:12:14
  That's why it says that the eyes of your heart may be opened.
• 1:12:19
  Your inner man has ears. That's why it says to him that
• 1:12:21
  has ears. Let him hear what the spirit is
• 1:12:23
  saying. Your inner man has all of those
• 1:12:28
  faculties that are there in the outer man.
• 1:12:32
  And in the same way you put on clothes on your outer man, you
• 1:12:36
  also have to dress your inner man.
• 1:12:39
  And the second thing he says is that, listen, the church must
• 1:12:42
  know how to dress up before they go out, that their nakedness be
• 1:12:46
  not revealed. There are garments that you can
• 1:12:50
  put on. And if you don't know about, you
• 1:12:52
  may not be wearing the garments. And so you get exposed.
• 1:12:55
  You can have material things on the outside, but you can be
• 1:12:59
  naked on the inside. That's why it says put on the
• 1:13:03
  whole armour of God, which means you can wear it the same way you
• 1:13:08
  dress. And the church has to come to
• 1:13:09
  understand every morning we get up and we wear our garments
• 1:13:14
  before we go out. We put on our internal clothes
• 1:13:17
  first before we put on the external clothes.
• 1:13:22
  And Peter spoke about this. He spoke about this here in
• 1:13:27
  first Peter chapter 3 verse 3 to verse 4.
• 1:13:30
  All right, First Peter 3 verse 3 to verse 4.
• 1:13:32
  It says whose adorning? Let it not be the outward
• 1:13:35
  adorning of the plating of hair when of gold and put it on of
• 1:13:37
  our parent. Now people have misconstrued the
• 1:13:40
  scripture to say that what the Bible is saying is that women
• 1:13:43
  should not wear gold. Women should not play their
• 1:13:44
  hair. If, if, if, if that is what you
• 1:13:47
  are saying, then you must say the third part or put it on of
• 1:13:50
  our parents. So if they should not play their
• 1:13:52
  hair or they should not wear gold, then they shouldn't wear
• 1:13:54
  clothes too. That's what you are saying.
• 1:14:04
  And let me just say this because it came to me, we have to change
• 1:14:09
  this thing in the church that anytime we want to attack or say
• 1:14:16
  how sinful or what about a church, it's always the women we
• 1:14:19
  target where we want to talk about something.
• 1:14:23
  We always say it's Jezebel. When I want to talk about the
• 1:14:27
  way people dress, we go to the women.
• 1:14:30
  It's a mindset and it's not correct and and you can come and
• 1:14:39
  you can with your words and without you knowing at
• 1:14:42
  subconscious levels, you are firing arrows and suppressing
• 1:14:47
  women. And let me just say this in the
• 1:14:50
  final judgment of God, listen, a man will be judged before God if
• 1:14:57
  you get married, the state of your wife when Jesus came
• 1:15:02
  because he said that you the same way he presented his bride
• 1:15:06
  without spot, without ring. Are you following what I'm
• 1:15:08
  saying here? I went to preach somewhere.
• 1:15:15
  They introduced my wife. They said when she preaches,
• 1:15:17
  miracles happen. They didn't say miracles happen
• 1:15:19
  for me. I say it's me, it's me.
• 1:15:20
  You are blessed. That shows I'm a real man.
• 1:15:26
  Are you following what I'm saying?
• 1:15:34
  Because you can see that from the fall of man Satan's attack.
• 1:15:39
  Listen, the person he's going for first is the woman.
• 1:15:43
  He says he shall, he does. He goes for women and is the
• 1:15:50
  role of men there to protect. So he says let's just go on him.
• 1:15:59
  He says, let's not be quickly, let not be the outward all right
• 1:16:05
  of placing of hair. All right, let's go back to the
• 1:16:08
  Scripture. I said to them, all right, first
• 1:16:15
  Peter 3 when of April. But what did he say the next
• 1:16:17
  verse? It says, well, let it be the
• 1:16:19
  hidden man of the heart in that which is not corruptible.
• 1:16:24
  Even the ornament is an ornament the same way you wear an
• 1:16:28
  ornament. He says this an ornament of a
• 1:16:30
  meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great
• 1:16:36
  price. So let's look at Ephesians
• 1:16:40
  chapter 2, verse 22 to verse 24. There's something I want to
• 1:16:43
  touch on here. It says Ephesians 322, let me
• 1:16:53
  say. All right, when it talks about
• 1:17:02
  put on the I'll put it on now. Put on the new man who is not
• 1:17:16
  corrupt according to deceitful laws.
• 1:17:19
  Let me find it there. The old man who is not all
• 1:17:26
  right. Sorry for.
• 1:17:28
  Sorry for and that you put on the new man.
• 1:17:33
  So what God is talking about is putting on the new man which
• 1:17:40
  after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
• 1:17:44
  Let's start from verse 22. Sorry, 4/22, 4:20.
• 1:17:48
  Let's start from 22. It says that you put off
• 1:17:52
  concerning your former conversation, the old man.
• 1:17:57
  So here is talking about character development.
• 1:18:01
  But you see this character development, What the point is
• 1:18:04
  bringing about it is not by efforts, but is by putting off
• 1:18:10
  certain clothes you are wearing in order to wear other clothes.
• 1:18:16
  There has been a struggle historically in the body of
• 1:18:19
  Christ to live right and people use will and efforts to try to
• 1:18:25
  get it done. But what he said is that the
• 1:18:26
  Church must come to a point that if a person is manifesting
• 1:18:31
  something in their character that contradicts the word of God
• 1:18:34
  is because they are wearing a wrong garment.
• 1:18:38
  They have to be taught on how to take off that garment and put on
• 1:18:44
  another garment that you put off concerning the old man's
• 1:18:47
  conversation, which is corrupt according to deceitful laws.
• 1:18:50
  Next verse it says that you be renewed in the spirit of your
• 1:18:55
  mind. And this the point here where we
• 1:18:57
  understand how to be renewed in the spirit of our minds.
• 1:19:00
  That's the second point because that's the only way we are going
• 1:19:03
  to be able to have the character that is required, the character
• 1:19:07
  that is required, the character that is required.
• 1:19:11
  And then he says the next verse it says that you put on the new
• 1:19:15
  man, which after God is created in righteousness and in true
• 1:19:19
  holiness. So it's a question of the
• 1:19:21
  garments that you are wearing, which means what are you putting
• 1:19:26
  on and what are you wearing? In Zechariah chapter 3, verse 3
• 1:19:30
  to verse 4, Zechariah 3, verse 3 to verse 4, it says, all right,
• 1:19:38
  verse 4. Let's go to verse 4.
• 1:19:40
  OK, that's that's three. Yeah.
• 1:19:41
  Now Joshua was clothed with fielding garments, which means
• 1:19:44
  he was wearing something, and stood before the Angel next
• 1:19:49
  verse. And he answered and speak unto
• 1:19:52
  those that stood before him, saying, take away the fielding
• 1:19:55
  garments from him. And he said, I have caused thy
• 1:19:58
  iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with a change
• 1:20:05
  of raiment. In other words, the battle that
• 1:20:08
  has been going on with people come to understand is about a
• 1:20:12
  change of remains. It is not my will plus my effort
• 1:20:19
  that is going to make it work. It is my will plus receiving the
• 1:20:24
  garments of Jesus that is going to make it work.
• 1:20:29
  So in Romans Chapter 7 verse 20 to verse 25, I'll stop after
• 1:20:34
  this and pray. Now he says, Now if I do that
• 1:20:37
  which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that
• 1:20:42
  dwells in me. For I find a law that when I
• 1:20:46
  would do good, that I wanted to do good, evil is present with
• 1:20:50
  me. Then it went on For I delight in
• 1:20:53
  the law of the Lord after my inward man, he said, but I see
• 1:20:57
  another law at working my members, worrying against the
• 1:21:01
  law of my mind and bringing me to the into captivity to the law
• 1:21:04
  of sin which is in my members. And then he said all wretched
• 1:21:07
  man that I am, who is going to deliver me from this struggle.
• 1:21:11
  All right. And then the next verse tells us
• 1:21:13
  I thank God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
• 1:21:15
  So then with the mind, I myself, which means with my mind, with
• 1:21:19
  my mind. It is in the renewing of the
• 1:21:21
  spirit of your mind. It is not in effort.
• 1:21:23
  He said I tried to do it. I found another law I will to do
• 1:21:26
  it. I found something else.
• 1:21:28
  I tried and the church is at the point where we teach people try
• 1:21:31
  and try and they are being defeated.
• 1:21:33
  And he's saying, listen, what they should do is that teach
• 1:21:36
  people to sit and change what they are wearing.
• 1:21:40
  If they change what they are wearing, they will find another
• 1:21:43
  Lord working their members bringing them into the
• 1:21:46
  fulfillment of the law of righteousness.
• 1:21:48
  And so he said in the last in in in chapter 8 verse 1, he said, I
• 1:21:52
  thank God through my Lord Jesus Christ.
• 1:21:54
  Next verse he says show them with the mind I serve.
• 1:21:57
  OK, it's one. There's therefore no
• 1:21:59
  condemnation, which means there's no reason to fail.
• 1:22:01
  All right, so then why in Christ Jesus who walk not after the
• 1:22:03
  flesh, but after the spirit for the law of the spirit of life in
• 1:22:07
  Christ Jesus has made me free from the law and said now in put
• 1:22:11
  putting this law to work, let me tell you what will happen.
• 1:22:13
  It's like a plane that wants to take off.
• 1:22:15
  You are coming straining against the law of gravity, which means
• 1:22:18
  putting on that garment the the thing.
• 1:22:20
  But once the pin is put on perfectly, you lend time to the
• 1:22:24
  place of rest and then you start living that life effortlessly.
• 1:22:29
  And So what does it mean to put on that garment?
• 1:22:31
  It says with my mind, it is the renewal of the spirit of your
• 1:22:35
  mind. It's taking the identification
• 1:22:38
  truths that we have in Christ. Understanding is not in your
• 1:22:42
  attainment, but is in His atonement.
• 1:22:44
  It is not your ability to try to make it happen, but your ability
• 1:22:48
  to receive that which He has already granted unto you.
• 1:22:52
  Where people come to understand the identification truth that
• 1:22:55
  are in Christ Jesus, where they come to know, know ye not, they
• 1:22:59
  come to understand that the church must come back to that
• 1:23:01
  which means we get to a place of perfection.
• 1:23:04
  We get to a place of obedience not by our own human effort but
• 1:23:07
  by the appropriation of the truth that Paul was teaching in
• 1:23:11
  the book of romance where he said sin will have no dominion
• 1:23:15
  over you because you are not under the law with efforts there
• 1:23:18
  but you are on that grace. In other words we come to
• 1:23:21
  understand and and and begin to put on that new man where a
• 1:23:25
  person sits down before the mirror and spends the 1st 20
• 1:23:29
  minutes changing the arraignment and when they go out they meet
• 1:23:33
  with situations. They are non responsive to those
• 1:23:36
  situations because they have one those scriptures on the inside
• 1:23:40
  of them that listen because I am dead together with Christ, I
• 1:23:43
  have died unto sin and I am now non responsive.
• 1:23:47
  They appropriated. I'm a new creature in Christ
• 1:23:50
  Jesus in whom all things are passed away and all things have
• 1:23:53
  become new and they are appropriated, which means it's
• 1:23:56
  not in their own attainment, but it's in their atonement and will
• 1:23:59
  begin to see all right people coming out and imagine with the
• 1:24:04
  change clothes on the inside of them radiating that the
• 1:24:08
  character of God. So we have power dimension and
• 1:24:11
  wisdom dimension. We also have character that is
• 1:24:14
  there, in other words, people and they say, how are you guys
• 1:24:17
  doing it? How is it that you can stay free
• 1:24:20
  of this particular things? It's because we are wearing a
• 1:24:23
  different garment. Last verse, I'm going to close.
• 1:24:26
  I'm going to close before I pray.
• 1:24:27
  In Isaiah chapter 52 and verse 1, he talks about this raiment
• 1:24:31
  here. He says, all right, awake,
• 1:24:33
  awake, put on thy strength, O Zion, put on thy beautiful
• 1:24:37
  garments, O Jerusalem, holy city.
• 1:24:39
  From henceforth, he says, there shall no more come unto thee,
• 1:24:43
  beyond circumcised and beyond claim.
• 1:24:45
  My friend, the type of people you continuously attract, Show
• 1:24:49
  what you are wearing inside. Are you following what I'm
• 1:24:55
  saying here? Change the arraignment inside.
• 1:24:59
  The kind of people that come into your life will begin to
• 1:25:01
  change. There is that understanding of
• 1:25:04
  changing it and we change that by acknowledging what God has
• 1:25:11
  done for us in Christ. It says, can you, should we
• 1:25:16
  continue in sin? That Grace said no.
• 1:25:18
  How can you who have died to sin?
• 1:25:21
  We put those words on our lips and we sit down with God and
• 1:25:27
  change what we are wearing. And the minute you change what
• 1:25:30
  you are wearing, demonic spirits recognize you.
• 1:25:34
  Things on the outside recognize you.
• 1:25:37
  You will find out that it's no longer something you are trying
• 1:25:39
  to do. It is now who you are.
• 1:25:42
  It is now your nature. It is the way you think.
• 1:25:46
  It's the way you talk. You are.
• 1:25:47
  It has been integrated into your being.
• 1:25:51
  It is called the renewal of the spirit of your mind.
• 1:25:54
  It's not your analytical place of cognitive ability there it is
• 1:25:58
  at subconscious levels. In other words, if you take a
• 1:26:02
  ball now and throw it towards van, it's coming to my eye
• 1:26:05
  without me having to think about it.
• 1:26:07
  I will shut my eyes. It's my reflex action.
• 1:26:10
  It is embedded on the inside. It's it's something, if
• 1:26:13
  something happens to your body, there are cells that rods there.
• 1:26:16
  It is embedded when the spirit of your mind is renewed.
• 1:26:19
  In other words, without you thinking about it, that's the
• 1:26:22
  way you act. Without you doing that, that's
• 1:26:24
  the way you are. You have put on another garment
• 1:26:28
  that has to be taught to the church, which means the
• 1:26:31
  identification truth. Wearing those garments, they are
• 1:26:34
  putting them on a change of raiment that is there.
• 1:26:38
  And once those raiment are changed, then we're going to
• 1:26:40
  begin to see the character or right of people being changed
• 1:26:44
  and people start getting transformed.
• 1:26:47
  People that were lying that everything would disappear from
• 1:26:49
  their lives. You see, how is this happening?
• 1:26:51
  Because all right of the change of raiment, let's just rise to
• 1:26:55
  our feet. All right, rise to our feet.
• 1:26:59
  Minister do siblings can come and let's just take a song of
• 1:27:05
  worship unto him. We've preached about this
• 1:27:09
  spiritual substance and so I want to declare words, if you
• 1:27:17
  have any sickness or infirmity within your body, we want to
• 1:27:23
  release spiritual substance into that aspect of your body.
• 1:27:33
  So we'll take a song of worship and now under that I will
• 1:27:38
  quickly pray. Just begin to worship God in the
• 1:27:43
  spirits. Who is like you, oh Lord?
• 1:27:53
  Who is like you? Who is like you?
• 1:27:59
  Who is like you the way the moo you are?
• 1:28:14
  No one can carry who is like you all.
• 1:28:24
  I just worship Him who is like you the way the Moo you are.
• 1:28:38
  No words can carry who is like you, Allah?
• 1:28:51
  We'll take that song one more time.
• 1:28:53
  Sing it to the Lord who? Is like you, Allah?
• 1:29:39
  Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we thank you because you
• 1:29:47
  have said you will confirm your word with signs and wonders.
• 1:29:52
  Following healing is the birthright of every single child
• 1:29:58
  of gold. And therefore as we declare
• 1:30:03
  these words, God stretches his hand towards you signs, wonders
• 1:30:10
  and miracles. If you have any ailments within
• 1:30:15
  your body, there are two things you will do.
• 1:30:17
  Place your hand on the place where that ailment, if it's your
• 1:30:21
  eyes, if it's your ears, if it's pain in any area.
• 1:30:26
  Father, I thank you for the shed blood of Jesus.
• 1:30:31
  Now, Satan, I take authority over you.
• 1:30:35
  Whether you're online, place it on.
• 1:30:37
  I take authority over you. These bodies have been bought by
• 1:30:44
  the precious blood of Jesus. And if a daughter of Abraham
• 1:30:51
  could not be held in bondage, not someone that Jesus shed his
• 1:30:58
  blood for, who is his daughter or son?
• 1:31:03
  Therefore, I take authority over you, and I command that you're
• 1:31:08
  loosen your grip over every single human body.
• 1:31:13
  Under the sound of my voice, I cast you out of that place.
• 1:31:17
  In the mighty name of Jesus, we declare that you are inoperative
• 1:31:23
  in their body. Therefore, with your hand upon
• 1:31:26
  that place, I declare, from the crown of your heads to the soles
• 1:31:31
  of your feet, you are healed completely by the stripes of
• 1:31:36
  Jesus Christ. I command the eyes to be
• 1:31:39
  restored perfectly in the name of Jesus.
• 1:31:42
  It has to be opened in the name of Jesus.
• 1:31:45
  Pain in the joints to be released in the name of Jesus.
• 1:31:48
  Feats to be strength in the name of Jesus every single part of
• 1:31:53
  the body, the heart should function properly in the mighty
• 1:31:56
  name of Jesus longs function on properly in the mighty name of
• 1:32:00
  Jesus Christ. I declare it your liver
• 1:32:03
  functions properly in the mighty name of Jesus.
• 1:32:06
  Therefore, if there is anything that you couldn't do before
• 1:32:10
  beginner to do it right now in the mighty name of Jesus as you
• 1:32:13
  begin to thank God. If you couldn't move your neck,
• 1:32:16
  move it right now in the mighty name of Jesus.
• 1:32:19
  As the healing power of Jesus Christ is flowing through, give
• 1:32:23
  God thanks, give Him praise. You take the song one more time,
• 1:32:26
  give Him praise, and begin to move.
• 1:32:37
  Glorious. Amongst the gods, legends and
• 1:33:06
  Tolly Gloria. Always.
