  Would you lift your voice and lift your hands?

  To the King eternal, the King Immortal, the only wise God,

  thank you for the honor of being part of this mighty, glorious
• 0:24
  army, doing much for the Kingdom, doing much for His
• 0:29
  Majesty. Someone grateful enough to
• 0:32
  verbalize your thanks. Thank you, Jesus, for calling me
• 0:37
  out of every tribe and every tongue and every nation for
• 0:42
  access to your word, for access to your spirit, for access to
• 0:48

  Sapran de Gaber le Cabarratos yata, we are grateful people.

  With hands lifted to the heavens, we give you praise.
• 1:04
  With our voices raised loud and clear, we give you praise.

  Because of your presence, we honor you.
• 1:14
  They glorified in our midst. You have placed your grace.
• 1:19
  Place Your Honor upon us as a people and we are grateful.
• 1:23
  Let the nations know that we are.
• 1:25
  Grateful. In Jesus mighty name we pray,
• 1:35
  would you lift your hands and lift your voice and ask the Lord
• 1:37
  for a visitation tonight. My presence tonight, again, is
• 1:43
  proof that I trust you. My presence tonight is proof
• 1:46
  that I love you. My presence tonight is proof
• 1:50
  that I understand that there is an ongoing process of
• 1:54
  transformation, an ongoing process of empowerment.
• 2:00
  My presence tonight is proof that I understand I am a Savior
• 2:06
  and that you have caused your program to depend on my
• 2:09
  participation. My presence tonight is proof
• 2:14
  that I believe in the victory that you have purchased for me
• 2:17
  in Christ and that I am ready to see it manifest in my life.
• 2:23
  My presence tonight is proof that I'm an intercessor standing
• 2:28
  in for those who may not have seen the light like you have
• 2:31
  shown me. Someone pray.
• 2:34
  Let this night be my night of encounter.
• 2:39
  Let it be my night for a mighty visitation.
• 2:44
  Open my eyes that I may see, my ears that I may hear, my heart
• 2:48
  that I may perceive, and. Know.
• 2:51
  Let the entrance of your word give light, Let it give
• 2:53
  understanding unto my heart in Jesus.
• 3:01
  Much less name. We pray in Jesus name we pray.
• 3:07
  The Bible says they go from strength to strength.
• 3:12
  As many as appear before the Lord in Zion, we thank God for
• 3:17
  his grace. Every gathering is an
• 3:20
  opportunity for growth, for transformation.
• 3:24
  The secret is always the Word of God, where the Word of God is,
• 3:30
  and where the Spirit of God is allowed unrestrained access.
• 3:35
  There's no limit to what such people can become, and we thank
• 3:39
  God for giving us the honor of being such people.
• 3:44
  Father, we give you thanks again.
• 3:46
  You have gathered us tonight as a hen gathers her cheek and all
• 3:51
  the cheeks to build us, to make us, to grow us so that we become
• 3:59
  people of power and stature and wisdom and grace.
• 4:02
  We submit to you tonight. Help us by your spirit in Jesus
• 4:08
  matchless name. We pray.
• 4:10
  God bless you. Good evening to everybody.
• 4:12
  Please turn to your neighbor left and right and would you
• 4:16
  give them a big God bless you, Hallelujah.
• 4:23
  Please be seated. It's good to have everyone in
• 4:27
  church. The House of God is a place of
• 4:31
  hope. Hallelujah.
• 4:34
  Apologies for the glitch. I don't know what happened.
• 4:37
  They're walking on it. If it does not work, so it does
• 4:39
  not distract us, then you shut it down.
• 4:41
  Please praise God, Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord, but
• 4:46
  I'm grateful to have everyone in church tonight and we pray in
• 4:50
  the name of Jesus Christ that God's word, as always will come
• 4:54
  to bless, will come to lift and will make a sign and a wonder
• 4:59
  out of you in Jesus name. Blessings to our international
• 5:03
  guests. I know you were recognized
• 5:05
  earlier on, but one more time, let's give them a big God bless
• 5:09
  you. And then let's extend that
• 5:13
  appreciation to all who are connected across the globe.
• 5:16
  Thank you so much. Gather your friends, your
• 5:19
  neighbors, your loved ones. The word of God is coming in
• 5:23
  Jesus name. We're honored to have in our
• 5:25
  meets tonight Doctor Lumi de Manuel and his wonderful wife.
• 5:29
  Please give them a big, big God bless you, Hallelujah.
• 5:34
  Thank you so much for your presence.
• 5:36
  The Lord honor you Sir. The Lord honor Yuma in Jesus
• 5:39
  name. And we're happy to have our very
• 5:41
  own Reverend Akhila. God bless you.
• 5:43
  Thank you. Hallelujah praise.
• 5:47
  The name of the Lord. Are you ready for tonight?
• 5:52
  Amen. I love the word of God because
• 5:56
  of what it does to whoever pays attention to it to listen.
• 6:01
  It says, my son, pay attention attendant to my words, incline
• 6:06
  your ears to my sayings. It says, do not let them depart
• 6:09
  from your heart. Keep them in the midst of your
• 6:11
  mouth. It says they are live to those
• 6:13
  who find them and health to their flesh.
• 6:17
  So allow me perform a few functions.
• 6:20
  I hope we'll be able to do that. The screen is acting a bit.
• 6:23
  I know the media people are doing their best, but maybe
• 6:26
  we'll make do with the side screens.
• 6:28
  Praise God. So I made a promise last week.
• 6:31
  Let me fulfill it quickly. For those of us who have been
• 6:33
  waiting for the second badge of registrations for Sound of
• 6:37
  Revival, US and Canada were honoured to announce that we'll
• 6:44
  be opening the badge for the next set of people.
• 6:51
  So many people have called the PR, called the media.
• 6:55
  As to why we decided to short it, let me explain that to us.
• 7:00
  I told us that we're opening it in badges.
• 7:02
  So that would give people enough room to think and plan and
• 7:06
  ascertain that you'll be there physically.
• 7:09
  We do not want a situation where we exhaust the space and then we
• 7:14
  have those who now registered who are not there physically,
• 7:18
  while other people who desire to come, I hear that because of the
• 7:22
  exhaustion in space. So we're going to open up the
• 7:26
  door. We don't know how many people
• 7:28
  this will be able to take now, unfortunately.
• 7:31
  Please, if you try and find out the space is filled after now,
• 7:37
  please don't harass anybody. Don't harass the PR.
• 7:40
  We're Christians, don't harass the media.
• 7:42
  Just be patient. I'm sure that God will grant us
• 7:44
  grace to do whatever we can do. I'm saying that because we're
• 7:48
  about to open up the space now and sometimes in minutes is
• 7:52
  gone. So Please be patient.
• 7:54
  If for any reason you find out that the quota opened is
• 7:58
  exhausted, just know that we're doing our best to make sure we
• 8:01
  incorporate as many people and be patient with us.
• 8:04
  Please do not harass any of our personnel.
• 8:07
  Don't send any insulting emails. We're children of God.
• 8:10
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
• 8:13
  That being said, let's start with the US sound of revival.
• 8:16
  US, we're going to be praying and then we speak a word of
• 8:21
  blessings and then please, we open up doors.
• 8:26
  So all those who were not able to register when we opened the
• 8:29
  first time, well, we're in the US.
• 8:31
  Here's your chance. Now you can call your friends
• 8:34
  and your loved ones, let them know the links will be made
• 8:37
  available immediately. We'll do that very quickly.
• 8:40
  Then we'll do the same for Canada.
• 8:41
  So we do not waste time. Please stretch your hands in one
• 8:44
  minute. Where people of prayer, it never
• 8:46
  gets too much to pray. This is no ritual.
• 8:48
  This is no ceremony. This like the worship team sung,
• 8:52
  it's an opportunity to invade the nations with the fire of
• 8:56
  revival, with the life and the power of Jesus.
• 8:59
  So go ahead and speak. We're praying right now, our
• 9:01
  family in US and indeed all across North America.
• 9:06
  Are you praying? Father, we desire to see your
• 9:09
  fire fall across New York. And it's environs we thank you
• 9:14
  for giving us the privilege to host the sound of revival.
• 9:17
  And in the name of Jesus, we decree and declare.
• 9:21
  That this 2025 edition will be most impactful.
• 9:25
  You glorified yourself in and through us in Glasgow, Scotland.
• 9:30
  We pray that you will do it again.
• 9:32
  For the Bible declares that the path of the just is as a shining
• 9:36
  light that shines ever brighter even onto the perfect day.
• 9:39
  Therefore, we ask, oh God, that Your grace will rest upon these
• 9:43
  bills. That the many who you desire to
• 9:45
  be there physically and online that they will heed to this call
• 9:50
  and it will be a moment of extraordinary encounter.
• 9:53
  We pray as the family of the Lord Jesus and we declare that
• 9:57
  your hand rests upon this in Jesus much less name.
• 10:01
  We pray so we dedicate it in the name of Jesus Christ and we pray
• 10:06
  by the power of the Holy Spirit. I can't see AQR code there.
• 10:09
  Someone help me. I might not sing well.
• 10:11
  All right, so beautiful. There's the link for you, all of
• 10:14
  you, for those of you in Africa, please make sure that if you are
• 10:19
  trying to book for a loved one, be sure they are there.
• 10:22
  No sentiments, no politics. We want to make sure that all
• 10:26
  who register are people who will actually be there.
• 10:30
  The link is there for you, Koinonia, US, and then
• 10:33
  believers. And remember, I said it the last
• 10:36
  time. Let me announce this to our US
• 10:39
  family. Please listen carefully.
• 10:41
  I'd like you to be very intentional about inviting other
• 10:46
  people groups where the grace of God.
• 10:48
  We want to see a large number of Caucasian brothers and sisters.
• 10:53
  We want to see the Francophone people.
• 10:55
  We want to see the Chinese people group.
• 10:57
  We want to see Jamaicans. Hallelujah.
• 11:00
  Maybe before the conference we'll get some persons from our
• 11:04
  PR to come and just give them an official invite using whatever
• 11:09
  language they have that they can speak around.
• 11:11
  But I'm personally extending this invitation.
• 11:15
  I know that we have a lot of people scattered across
• 11:18
  different people groups, but I don't want us to limit it to an
• 11:21
  African experience. It's been hosted by people who
• 11:23
  are of African descent. But the message and the impact
• 11:30
  is to the entire North America and its environs and we there
• 11:34
  shouldn't be any prejudice whatsoever.
• 11:37
  Color of your skin, what race we are believers.
• 11:40
  And so please accept this as a personal invite.
• 11:43
  You can send this invite. Tell them Apostle is inviting
• 11:46
  them to sound of revival. Doesn't matter what tribe, what
• 11:50
  tongue, what color you are most invited.
• 11:53
  I, I prayed about this. And we desire to see a very
• 11:57
  heterogeneous collection of people from across different
• 12:01
  tribes, cultures, people groups. And that will be a lot of
• 12:06
  comfort to us because the desire is not just to reach Africans in
• 12:10
  diaspora. The goal is to get the nations
• 12:14
  to experience revival. Fire.
• 12:16
  If you're in agreement with me, shout Amen.
• 12:19
  So Koinonia, US, that's an assignment for you.
• 12:21
  Please take it far and wide. Some of our workers who are
• 12:24
  Chinese take it to the Chinese people.
• 12:26
  Jamaicans take it to Jamaica. Francophone people, Spanish
• 12:31
  everywhere, anywhere. Indians, please go ahead and do
• 12:34
  your due diligence. Let's see that we have your
• 12:37
  various people groups well represented to the glory of the
• 12:41
  Lord. In Jesus name we pray.
• 12:43
  Stretch your hands towards Canada.
• 12:45
  Are you ready with Canada? So this year we're in Calgary by
• 12:48
  the grace of God, and we're trusting God for an
• 12:51
  extraordinary time. Someone who still believes in
• 12:53
  what God is doing. Stretch your hands and let's
• 12:55
  speak a word of blessing. Sound of revival Canada.
• 13:00
  We decree and declare in the name of Jesus that you'll be an
• 13:05
  extraordinary move of the Spirit, that men and women will
• 13:10
  be set on fire for Jesus. We decree and declare by the
• 13:15
  power of the Holy Spirit that all will be well as far as the
• 13:20
  planning, the execution. Everything will be to the glory
• 13:23
  of the Lord that Jesus Himself will superintend over this
• 13:28
  conference and he will be a mighty outpouring of the Spirit.
• 13:32
  Let's pray for all those who God has preordained to be part of
• 13:36
  this conference from across Canada and across North America
• 13:40
  that the Lord Himself will draw them, some coming from Europe,
• 13:44
  some coming from Africa, some coming from Asia, the Middle
• 13:47
  East. That the Lord by his Spirit will
• 13:50
  draw them and it will be a mighty encounter in Calgary.
• 13:55
  In Jesus name we pray. Now let me extend this.
• 14:00
  Let's have the registration link for Canada.
• 14:03
  So Canada, this is for you. The link is open officially and
• 14:10
  you can go ahead and do your registration.
• 14:12
  And like I said for US, please allow me specially again invite
• 14:17
  a particularly our Francophone brothers and sisters.
• 14:22
  By the grace of God, we're making arrangements to have a
• 14:24
  section where you'd have. We're going to do the privilege
• 14:30
  of language interpretation for those.
• 14:32
  Who? Might not be very fluent in
• 14:36
  spoken English or in hearing it. We don't want to limit people.
• 14:41
  We discussed that and we're making arrangements with that
• 14:44
  already. So by God's grace would have a
• 14:46
  section where we have interpreters.
• 14:48
  I don't know how many languages we'll be able to cover, but for
• 14:51
  sure we're going to have French speaking interpreters and we
• 14:55
  trust that it's going to be a great time in the name of Jesus.
• 14:58
  So please invite friends, invite family, invite everyone who
• 15:02
  desires the Lord Jesus Christ desires and encounter.
• 15:05
  You're most welcome. Take advantage of the link.
• 15:08
  We declare it blessed in Jesus mighty name and the Church of
• 15:12
  the Lord Jesus Christ shouts a loud believing Amen Hallelujah
• 15:17
  the final function and then we'll go straight to the word by
• 15:20
  the grace of God as I always do during my birthday, there will
• 15:24
  be a special service here on the 25th so Wednesday 25th of June
• 15:31
  by the grace of God 10 AM on the dot we're here gathered.
• 15:35
  Please invite everyone It's a special service will not take
• 15:40
  more than two hours. It's just my opportunity to give
• 15:42
  back and, and I always do this as a consolation.
• 15:47
  I can meet with everybody one-on-one.
• 15:49
  We can talk, we can greet, but at least we can converge in his
• 15:53
  presence, worship Him together, share a word or two that will
• 15:57
  become an encouragement to us and our global family.
• 16:00
  And then we depart. So 10 AM prompt, please make it
• 16:05
  a date, everyone, you should be here.
• 16:08
  And immediately after that, by the grace of God, we'll be
• 16:11
  distributing welfare material. I was so inspired last year when
• 16:16
  we distributed the bags of rice. We're trusting that this time
• 16:19
  around, we should do between 4 to 5000 bags of rice as a thank
• 16:27
  you gift for life, for grace. So please invite everyone around
• 16:31
  Abuja, whether they are Christians, whether they are
• 16:34
  Muslims, we don't care what they believe, they are welcome.
• 16:37
  Ask them to come and provided they are willing to be orderly,
• 16:41
  praise the name of the Lord. All of the distributions and
• 16:43
  everything will be outside after the service.
• 16:46
  So everyone here, please do the work of an evangelist and those
• 16:49
  who are outside, let them know that this is my birthday gift to
• 16:54
  everyone thanking God, and it double S as a soukor in light of
• 16:58
  the economic reality. So we're making that sacrifice
• 17:02
  to make sure that this is available to everyone.
• 17:07
  Please take note of that 25th of June by 10 AM prompt.
• 17:11
  We're here after the service immediately afterwards outside,
• 17:16
  we'll have the opportunity to be a blessing to us.
• 17:20
  Many, some of them, it will be their first time experiencing
• 17:24
  love at this level. And we're always honored to do
• 17:28
  the bit that God has granted us capacity to, and we trust that
• 17:32
  we'll keep increasing. But this is what we intend to
• 17:36
  do. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 17:39
  May the name of the Lord be exalted in Jesus name.
• 17:42
  Are you ready for tonight? Hallelujah, praise the name of
• 17:47
  Jesus. You will never be the same.
• 17:51
  The word of God will continue to change you in the name of Jesus
• 17:55
  Christ. Tonight I want to teach on the
• 17:59
  subject. I have been dishing out the
• 18:02
  mysteries of the Kingdom and the laws of the Kingdom, and these
• 18:07
  are the mysteries by which the Saints become confident, become
• 18:11
  empowered, and make structured progress in life.
• 18:16
  And in light of the times that we live in, the Lord impressed
• 18:20
  upon my heart to teach one of the mysteries of the Kingdom
• 18:24
  that will help give stability to your living, stability to your
• 18:28
  work with God, and will afford you the courage to press forward
• 18:33
  in life and to remain hopeful even as the days unfold,
• 18:38
  especially for those who are still awaiting the promises of
• 18:41
  God to manifest in their lives at various levels.
• 18:45
  And so I trust that this message will bless you tonight and open
• 18:48
  your eyes in Jesus name. I'm teaching tonight on the
• 18:51
  covenant of peace, the covenant of peace.
• 18:56
  I want to show you by the teaching tonight the pathway to
• 19:00
  rest round about the covenant of peace.
• 19:04
  It's one of the mysteries of the Kingdom that is desired by many,
• 19:08
  if not all, and yet seldom understood by believers.
• 19:12
  They understand instinctively the concept of peace and the
• 19:17
  advantage of peace, but most people have not been broadened
• 19:21
  as far as the Bible scope as far as the definition of peace is
• 19:26
  concerned. For the average person, peace
• 19:29
  represents for us maybe restfulness or absence of strife
• 19:33
  and war, and we just limited there.
• 19:35
  But I'm hoping that by this teaching, God will broaden our
• 19:37
  understanding, but more importantly, equip us with the
• 19:41
  Kingdom keys that will help us to walk in the reality of this
• 19:45
  covenant. If I just described you, shout
• 19:47
  Amen for a text, Isaiah 54, and we'll read verse 10.
• 19:53
  Isaiah 54 and verse 10. We're looking at the covenant of
• 19:57
  peace. He says, for the mountains shall
• 20:00
  depart and the heels be removed, but my kindness shall not depart
• 20:05
  from you, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed,
• 20:09
  saith the Lord that hath mercy upon you.
• 20:13
  Hallelujah. We live in a world where there
• 20:17
  is a very interesting blend between joy and pain, between
• 20:21
  happiness and sadness. One moment you are celebrating
• 20:25
  the arrival of a baby, the next moment you are celebrating the
• 20:28
  departure of someone, whether young, whether old, whether
• 20:31
  male, whether female, whether rich or otherwise.
• 20:34
  One moment you are celebrating maybe someone who has is
• 20:39
  receiving an award, the next moment you are saddened by
• 20:41
  someone who has been sentenced to life imprisonment.
• 20:44
  Our world is full of this paradox, a blend of good things
• 20:49
  that happen to people and then it's almost superimposed by bad
• 20:54
  or sad things that happen to others.
• 20:57
  It seems as though it's very difficult for believers and for
• 21:00
  others. It is really far fetched to have
• 21:02
  consistent joy without a reason for pain, without a reason for
• 21:07
  sadness, to a point that when believers have a cause to
• 21:10
  rejoice, they mice, they are expressing joy because they seem
• 21:15
  to anticipate that sooner or later evil will come and over
• 21:19
  shadow that joy. And so you find people, even
• 21:22
  when there is a reason to rejoice, they are not open to be
• 21:25
  lavish and expressive about their joy because they are aware
• 21:29
  of this mix of sweet and sour, bitter and sweet, you know, and
• 21:33
  so on and so forth. And it seems like that's the
• 21:35
  normal course in our lives. While someone rejoices today,
• 21:39
  they almost will be met by a reason to be sad.
• 21:43
  And to be angry. The question now is, is that the
• 21:46
  will of God? And is that the best of God for
• 21:49
  believers? Almost everyone here has had a
• 21:52
  reason to rejoice. Over some achievement for
• 21:56
  yourself or for someone connected to you, something
• 21:59
  miraculous, something wonderful, something worthy of celebration
• 22:03
  may have happened in your life. And for everyone here, we
• 22:07
  equally have reasons to have cried and maybe are crying.
• 22:11
  Maybe the law, the loss of a loved one.
• 22:13
  Maybe you lost money. Maybe you lost an opportunity.
• 22:16
  You lost a strategic relationship.
• 22:18
  You are at a point in your life where hell seems to have broken
• 22:20
  loose and our world is in desperate need.
• 22:24
  From a global scale we see that there is war between nations.
• 22:30
  Unfortunately this has not been the desire of any well meaning
• 22:33
  person, but that's the reality that is in our world today.
• 22:36
  We have leaders, Heads of Government, meeting day and
• 22:39
  night trying to negotiate deals, all in an attempt to bring peace
• 22:43
  to our world. There are many global
• 22:47
  governmental and non governmental institutions that
• 22:49
  have been set up, whether sincerely so or selfishly so, as
• 22:53
  we are told, at least we know that the face of the pursuit is
• 22:57
  world. Peace.
• 22:59
  Every religion I know that means well, at least the three major
• 23:03
  religions, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and then it
• 23:08
  extends to Hinduism and any other religion as I've studied
• 23:11
  somewhere in their teaching, at least without the extremist
• 23:14
  views seem to support the concept of peace.
• 23:18
  Are we still together? And so it's been a subject that
• 23:20
  people desperately. Need.
• 23:22
  In fact, if you ask the average person, what do you really
• 23:26
  desire? What we are trying to say is
• 23:29
  peace, but we'll express it in different ways.
• 23:31
  Others will say I need money. What you are saying is I need
• 23:34
  the wherewithal to sort my problems and finally have peace.
• 23:38
  Are we together now? And so the quest for peace is
• 23:40
  not something that is for a few people.
• 23:43
  It's not something that you should choose as against or to
• 23:47
  decide whether you want it or not.
• 23:49
  It's a necessity. In fact, medical science teach
• 23:53
  that if you are in an atmosphere that is pungent psychologically,
• 23:56
  it can cut short your life. There are people today who are
• 24:00
  who have all kinds of medical conditions that are traceable to
• 24:03
  worries, depression, high blood pressure, and all all sorts.
• 24:08
  I'm hoping tonight in the name of Jesus that God will open up
• 24:11
  our eyes to understand this concept of peace.
• 24:15
  Praise the name of the Lord. Now when you travel to Israel,
• 24:19
  one of the most common way to salute and to greet one another
• 24:24
  is to use the word peace is a Hebrew word.
• 24:27
  Shalom. There are many other
• 24:29
  expressions, but we'll walk with that word Shalom.
• 24:32
  And to the person who is of a Jewish descent, when you say
• 24:36
  Shalom, he's not just talking about restfulness or quietness
• 24:40
  or the absence of war. It's a deeper and very pregnant
• 24:45
  word with so many expressions, as we're going to be exploring
• 24:48
  tonight. But when you tell an Israelite
• 24:52
  or it is really Shalom, you have said many things in one word,
• 24:58
  and if you are not of the Jewish descent and you're not trained,
• 25:00
  you usually will not understand the weight of that word.
• 25:04
  So please walk with me. As we explore for a start, the
• 25:08
  meaning of the word that is translated in English, peace is
• 25:12
  the word Shalom. Shalom.
• 25:17
  Shalom goes beyond the absence of wars and strife.
• 25:21
  The more generic meaning is the absence of war, the absence of
• 25:26
  strife. So when we say.
• 25:27
  An individual is experiencing peace.
• 25:30
  The more common meaning is that there is no war and end has come
• 25:34
  to war, and end has come to turbulence and end has come to
• 25:38
  strife. Its a state of quiet and.
• 25:41
  Restfulness. But let's look at other
• 25:43
  meanings. It goes beyond the absence of
• 25:46
  wars and strife. I wrote here, and you may want
• 25:49
  to listen and write. It includes wholeness, please
• 25:52
  write. It includes harmony.
• 25:57
  It includes prosperity in all its ramifications.
• 26:02
  And it includes rest. So the word Shalom that is
• 26:06
  translated peace in addition to quiet from war and strife and
• 26:13
  turbulence, it includes wholeness, completeness, it
• 26:18
  includes harmony, it includes prosperity in all its
• 26:24
  ramifications, It includes rest. It also includes permanence or
• 26:32
  longevity of good things. So the word Shalom also extends
• 26:36
  to mean permanence or longevity. How long good things last in
• 26:42
  your life. Its not just how good things
• 26:45
  come but their longevity in your life.
• 26:48
  It it also refers to the permanence of things in your
• 26:52
  life. That means when things happen to
• 26:54
  you, good things for that matter they should remain hopefully for
• 26:58
  your lifetime. Anyone who is experiencing good,
• 27:02
  good as defined by Scripture perpetually is in a state of
• 27:07
  peace as the Bible called Shalom.
• 27:09
  Are we still together? Praise the name of the Lord.
• 27:13
  So it includes wholeness or completeness, harmony,
• 27:18
  prosperity in all its ramification, rest.
• 27:21
  It also captures permanence or longevity of good things in
• 27:26
  one's life. Let me also define Shalom as
• 27:33
  it's captured in Bible language as a state where every aspect of
• 27:39
  your life is working and it's in harmony with God's divine order.
• 27:46
  Write that. I'll read it slowly so that you
• 27:47
  listen and write. Shalom as peace also means a
• 27:52
  state where every aspect of your life, if you're writing, you
• 27:57
  want to underline that every aspect of your life is working
• 28:03
  and it's in harmony with God's divine order.
• 28:08
  Any believer who assumes touch a state where everything is
• 28:12
  working in your life and is consistent with God's divine
• 28:16
  order. We say you are in a state of
• 28:19
  Shalom. You are in a state of peace.
• 28:22
  Hallelujah. Genesis chapter 24 and verse.
• 28:27
  One Genesis chapter 24 and verse one.
• 28:31
  This is one of the clearest pictures of what we call the
• 28:36
  covenant of peace. Read with me please, ladies and
• 28:39
  gentlemen. Ready 1 to go.
• 28:41
  And Abraham was old and well stricken in age, and the Lord
• 28:47
  had blessed Abraham in how many things one more time, all things
• 28:55
  another expression of peace. Joshua chapter 21 please and
• 29:01
  will read verse 40. 4. Joshua chapter 21 and verse 44.
• 29:09
  I'm showing you the broader picture of the word Shalom as it
• 29:13
  refers to peace. Let's read together.
• 29:15
  Ready 1 to go. And the Lord gave them rest
• 29:19
  round about, according to all that He swore on to their
• 29:23
  fathers, and there stood not a man of all their enemies before
• 29:28
  them. The Lord delivered all their
• 29:31
  enemies into their hands. May that be your testimony in
• 29:36
  the name of Jesus Christ. So it is God's desire for all
• 29:40
  believers to experience peace, to experience wholeness, and to
• 29:45
  experience a rest roundabout. Settle that for a fact.
• 29:49
  It is God's will. It is God's desire for you and I
• 29:53
  to experience peace in its entirety as defined by the
• 29:59
  Bible, to experience wholeness and to experience rest
• 30:04
  roundabout. You want to note that it's
• 30:06
  important for you to settle no matter what you are going
• 30:10
  through. Settle it for a fact that it is
• 30:12
  God's desire and in fact it is the will of God for me as a
• 30:17
  believer in Christ to experience peace, to experience wholeness
• 30:23
  and to experience rest. Roundabout.
• 30:26
  We read Isaiah 54 and verse 10 already.
• 30:29
  We read Joshua 2144 already. Let's read two more verses just
• 30:34
  to buttress on the fact that it is the will of God for you and
• 30:37
  I, regardless of current situations who have peace and to
• 30:41
  enter that covenant of peace, rest and and of wholeness and of
• 30:46
  rest round about Isaiah chapter 33 and verse 6.
• 30:51
  This talks more of physical, the physical dimension of peace.
• 30:56
  Jeremiah, My apologies, Jeremiah 33 and verse 6, Jeremiah chapter
• 31:00
  33 and verse 6. It says, and I will bring it
• 31:03
  health and cure, and I will cure them, and I will reveal unto
• 31:08
  them the abundance of peace and truth.
• 31:13
  God's commitment to you, God's commitment to me, that He will
• 31:17
  bring health, He will bring cure, and He will reveal unto us
• 31:21
  throughout the course of our lifetime abundance of peace and
• 31:26
  truth. Receive it by shouting aloud.
• 31:28
  Amen. In Matthew Chapter 11 and verse
• 31:31
  28, Matthew Chapter 11 and verse 28, Jesus himself is speaking
• 31:36
  and he gives us a picture of rest round about as an
• 31:41
  expression of peace. He says, Come unto me, all ye
• 31:46
  that labor, and all you that are heavy laden.
• 31:49
  It says, and I will give you rest.
• 31:54
  I will give you rest. Say I receive rest.
• 31:59
  So according to Scripture, we can receive peace and rest in
• 32:03
  every area of our lives. Do you believe that we can
• 32:06
  receive peace? We can receive rest in every
• 32:09
  area of our lives. And like I've taught you, let me
• 32:12
  compartmentalize for you the areas where we are in desperate
• 32:16
  need for peace. Number one, your spiritual life.
• 32:19
  You can receive peace with God first, beginning from your
• 32:23
  declaring His lordship. Hallelujah, he's called,
• 32:28
  according to Isaiah's prophecy, the Prince of Peace.
• 32:32
  A man can experience peace with God.
• 32:35
  He can experience the peace of God spiritually.
• 32:39
  You can experience peace mentally.
• 32:42
  Like you're going to be learning that in nothing that you are you
• 32:45
  troubled, the Lord puts you in a state of restfulness.
• 32:49
  He says the Lord is my light and my salvation.
• 32:51
  Of whom shall I be afraid of? In a state where you are free
• 32:55
  from fear, you are free from worry, you are free from all the
• 32:58
  thoughts that are engineered within your mind to depress you
• 33:02
  and to make God look like He's not faithful.
• 33:04
  A man can experience physical peace in terms of your health,
• 33:09
  your vitality, your life moving, everything moving as desired.
• 33:14
  You can experience financial peace.
• 33:18
  I'm telling you, if I'm to draw a pie chart and allocate our
• 33:23
  desire for peace, for most people, 80 to 85% will be the
• 33:27
  quest for financial peace. And the reason is because we
• 33:30
  live in a world that is economically driven and most of
• 33:34
  our worries directly or indirectly relates to financial
• 33:38
  issues from rent to children's fees to bills to pay, you know,
• 33:43
  and all of that. And for our brothers and sisters
• 33:45
  in diaspora, it's even worse because now you pay rent
• 33:48
  monthly, their mortgage issues, you know, pursuing papers and
• 33:52
  all of that. And if you default, you get into
• 33:54
  trouble. So most people are in desperate
• 33:57
  need of financial peace. There are people who are sick
• 34:00
  today not because of any germ, not any parasite, not any virus.
• 34:04
  They are sick because of the mental torture that the absence
• 34:08
  of abundance has brought to them.
• 34:10
  And then we have relational peace.
• 34:13
  This extends to peace in homes, peace, you know, among family
• 34:18
  members, nuclear and extended peace among people of the same
• 34:22
  group, and so on and so forth. And Jesus Christ himself is
• 34:26
  desirous that all believers find peace in this area.
• 34:30
  Now please look at me. What gives us the basis to
• 34:35
  receive this peace because the covenant of peace as much as all
• 34:40
  Old Testament covenants, the one that concerns us more
• 34:43
  particularly, it was Abraham, the patriarch that God came into
• 34:49
  this covenant with. When you read Genesis chapter 12
• 34:51
  from verse one and two, he calls this man called Abraham from all
• 34:56
  of the Chaldeans and he tells him to leave his father's house,
• 34:59
  his kindred onto a land that will be shown.
• 35:02
  Now he proposes a blessing. He proposes a behind and
• 35:06
  equality of life. He says, if you believe me and
• 35:10
  if you trust my leadership and work in keeping with all that I
• 35:13
  reveal to you, I will make thee a great nation.
• 35:16
  I will bless thee. I will make your name great.
• 35:19
  You shall be a blessing. Verse three He says, I will
• 35:22
  bless them that bless you, I will curse him that curses you,
• 35:26
  and through you all the families of the earth will be blessed.
• 35:32
  So God calls one man and proposes that to him.
• 35:35
  But then we are not the natural descendants of Abraham, nor were
• 35:40
  we there when all these covenants and promises were
• 35:42
  enacted. What then gives us the basis to
• 35:45
  lay claim to these things? The Bible tells us in Galatians
• 35:48
  chapter 3 and verse 29 it says, And if ye be Christ, it says,
• 35:54
  then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise,
• 35:59
  meaning that you were not there, nor were we part of the covenant
• 36:04
  directly by reason of our not being Jews.
• 36:07
  But the Bible says in Christ he has brought that reconciliation
• 36:11
  through Christ, and in Christ we can now become partakers of the
• 36:15
  blessings of Abraham. In fact the Bible puts it this
• 36:18
  way says Christ has redeemed us from the course of the law being
• 36:23
  made a cost for us for it is written cost is everyone that
• 36:27
  hanged on a tree. Why that the blessing of Abraham
• 36:31
  and I've taught you here Galatians 314.
• 36:34
  The blessing of Abraham is not cast and money.
• 36:37
  No, the blessing of Abraham is justification by faith.
• 36:42
  That the justification by faith that was imputed on Abraham
• 36:46
  through Christ might come upon us, the Gentiles that we've been
• 36:50
  justified now can receive what the Bible calls the blessing,
• 36:54
  the promise of the Spirit through faith.
• 36:58
  So the blessing of Abraham, justification by faith grants
• 37:02
  you access to the blessing. In summary, the Holy Spirit, now
• 37:07
  the blessing, the Holy Spirit working with him and in
• 37:10
  partnership with the Word of God opens you up to what we call
• 37:13
  blessings. You see how it works?
• 37:15
  So the journey starts with the blessing of Abraham,
• 37:18
  justification by faith. Then it grants you access to the
• 37:22
  blessing, the Holy Spirit in all of his dimensions.
• 37:25
  Then it now produces blessings. If you have not received the
• 37:29
  blessing of Abraham, justification by faith in Christ
• 37:33
  and through Christ, you cannot receive the blessing.
• 37:38
  And if you cannot receive the blessing, you may not have
• 37:41
  blessings. God's way.
• 37:42
  Now as an unbeliever you can walk the principles of the
• 37:45
  Kingdom and have similitudes of Kingdom blessings but there will
• 37:49
  always be a side effect. For instance the Bible says it
• 37:53
  is the blessing of the Lord that make it rich without the
• 37:57
  addition of sorrow. Meaning every other way you
• 38:00
  route to experience blessings outside of the Lord it will make
• 38:04
  you rich but eventually it will come with sorrows.
• 38:09
  Diligence and productivity can bring you wealth, but diligence
• 38:14
  does not drive demons. They will visit you and machines
• 38:18
  don't diagnose them. They will wait at the zenith of
• 38:21
  your rising discipline and diligence does not take away the
• 38:26
  desire of Satan to destroy everything God in you.
• 38:29
  Are we together now? So the blessing of the Lord it
• 38:33
  maketh reach and added no sorrow.
• 38:35
  Are we learning already? So the basis for our desiring to
• 38:39
  walk in the covenant of peace, Shalom as they call it, is the
• 38:44
  fact that we are in Christ and now in Christ we have access to
• 38:49
  every blessing that was spoken to Abraham and indeed to every
• 38:53
  patriot. You believe that say Amen.
• 38:57
  There are two dimensions of peace and rest.
• 38:59
  That is translated Shalom. That is of interest for us
• 39:02
  tonight when the Bible talks about Shalom as a covenant of
• 39:06
  peace and rest. There are two dimensions I want
• 39:10
  us to look at for our discussion tonight.
• 39:12
  Number one is called rest and peace in the midst of storms.
• 39:20
  So this one does not necessarily mean the absence of storms, rest
• 39:25
  and peace. In the midst of storms.
• 39:31
  The believer can find peace. Ultimately the goal is to be
• 39:35
  free from calamity, to be free from storms.
• 39:39
  But then there is a dimension of this covenant of peace that
• 39:44
  ministers rest and peace even in the midst of storms.
• 39:49
  That means you do not have to wait for storms to be over
• 39:52
  before you experience it. 3 Scriptures very quickly.
• 39:56
  Isaiah chapter 43 from verse 1 and 2.
• 40:00
  Isaiah 43 one and two. But now thus said the Lord that
• 40:04
  created the O Jacob, and he that formed the O Israel.
• 40:08
  Fear not say I reject fear. Shout it like you, a believer.
• 40:15
  It says, for I have redeemed you, I have called you by name,
• 40:19
  you are mine. Verse 2 It says, When thou
• 40:22
  passes through the waters, I will be with you, the Prince of
• 40:27
  Peace with you. When you pass through the
• 40:29
  waters, it says, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow
• 40:33
  you. Then it says, when thou walkest
• 40:35
  through the fire, when you walk through the fire, thou shall not
• 40:41
  be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon you.
• 40:46
  So you can experience that level of Shalom, that level of peace,
• 40:51
  that level of rest even in the midst of storms.
• 40:57
  This already is a message of hope for someone.
• 41:00
  Daniel chapter 3. Let's examine from verse 16 to
• 41:03
  18. Then we'll jump and look at 24
• 41:06
  and 25. This is a very popular story for
• 41:09
  believers Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
• 41:13
  Remember King Nebuchadnezzar, he he erected a 90 feet gold
• 41:19
  stature of himself as advised by all of the people.
• 41:23
  And they said at the sound of worship everyone would have to
• 41:27
  bow to that stature. And there were three Hebrew
• 41:30
  boys, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and they they refused
• 41:34
  to bow to the king. So the story starts here.
• 41:37
  Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego answered and said to the king, O
• 41:41
  King Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this
• 41:45
  matter. Verse 17.
• 41:47
  He said if it be so, we know that our God, the God that we
• 41:54
  serve, is able to deliver us. He's speaking about deliverance
• 41:58
  now that means that trouble will not even start.
• 42:02
  He can deliver us from the burning fiery furnace and he
• 42:06
  will deliver us out of your hand, O King, verse 18.
• 42:10
  But if not, let it be known to you that even if we get into
• 42:15
  that trouble, into that fire, even that furnace, we will not
• 42:20
  serve you or worship the golden image you have set up.
• 42:23
  Powerful. It takes a man who has this
• 42:26
  covenant walking in their lives to know that you are about to
• 42:29
  die. You see, kings those days were
• 42:31
  not people who they were very messless.
• 42:34
  They were trained to be vicious. Are we together?
• 42:39
  Kings those days could kill their wives for entering the
• 42:42
  inner chamber without invitation.
• 42:44
  Can you imagine that? Just for entering?
• 42:47
  That was what made Esther afraid.
• 42:49
  Now the king has not invited me. If I go in, it may cost me my
• 42:52
  life. That's why she said if I perish,
• 42:54
  I perish. So not even marrying the king
• 42:56
  made you safe? The guy could kill you one day
• 43:00
  just because you got it. Can you imagine kings?
• 43:03
  I don't know. Thank God we're not in that
• 43:04
  generation. Honestly, I don't know how I
• 43:07
  would have coped personally. Are we together?
• 43:15
  So there is rest and peace in the midst of storms?
• 43:20
  Now look. Look up, please, for a moment.
• 43:22
  Remember, the goal is to help you establish victory, that you
• 43:25
  can rise above storms. But let me make an honest,
• 43:28
  pragmatic submission is easier said than done.
• 43:32
  There are many people and I have a word for you before this
• 43:35
  discussion is ended. I have a word for people who are
• 43:38
  going through all kinds of things.
• 43:41
  You know, when I started ministry, our focus was on the
• 43:44
  spiritual impact of people. I really didn't see the
• 43:48
  emotional side of life. When you are hot wounded
• 43:52
  emotionally, I didn't take it seriously.
• 43:54
  I just felt if people had emotional problems, it was
• 43:56
  because they were not serious with the Holy Ghost.
• 43:58
  If they really pay attention to the Holy Spirit, there shouldn't
• 44:01
  be any reason whatsoever. Oh dear, forgive the former me.
• 44:06
  But now as I've grown in life and leadership, I'm learning
• 44:09
  that with the Holy Ghost in you. The Bible says Jesus in
• 44:14
  Gethsemane. Is that in your Bible?
• 44:17
  The Bible says Jesus wept John 1135.
• 44:20
  He was still full of the Holy Ghost, but he wept many times.
• 44:23
  He wept over Jerusalem. The Bible shows us the plethora
• 44:27
  of emotional expressions from your Jesus.
• 44:31
  When he was in Gethsemane, he cried, He prayed.
• 44:34
  Tears were like drops of blood. Emotional wounds are real,
• 44:39
  storms are real, and there are people in it right now.
• 44:43
  Are we together? There are people who are in
• 44:45
  their versions of the lions. Then there are people who are in
• 44:48
  their versions, all kinds of things.
• 44:50
  Do you know, there are people right now following from
• 44:53
  hospitals right now? And I'm not exaggerating with
• 44:57
  loved ones who, based on the doctor's diagnosis, only have
• 45:02
  weeks and months to leave. And they're listening to me
• 45:04
  right now, this moment. And they still believe that
• 45:07
  there is a way out. As a man of God, you know,
• 45:11
  ministries like medicine, you have the honor of, you know,
• 45:15
  just having access to people's pain, the back end of their
• 45:18
  smiles, the back end of their laughter while they laugh in
• 45:22
  church because they are standing in faith and believing what
• 45:25
  you've taught them. Sometimes when they come to you,
• 45:28
  they have the liberty to open up and sometimes you see people who
• 45:31
  have been wounded and they dress that wound with an honorable
• 45:35
  apparel. I can tell you that storms are
• 45:39
  real. And if you have not experienced
• 45:41
  one, make sure that as you sojourn, you don't laugh at
• 45:44
  anybody in his storm because you will need your lesson to go
• 45:47
  through yours. Who is learning?
• 45:50
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
• 45:54
  One time they asked a man. They asked the disciples of
• 45:57
  Jesus saw a man who was, I think he was crippled or born blind.
• 46:02
  They said, who seen that this man was born blind?
• 46:06
  Was it him or his Father? You know what Jesus said?
• 46:09
  Neither. That means there are certain
• 46:11
  problems that have nothing to do with your personal contribution.
• 46:15
  It's just the fact that it happened around you.
• 46:17
  Are we together now? The Bible talks about the man I
• 46:21
  did. Beautiful.
• 46:22
  I've taught you here. The Bible says he was lame from
• 46:24
  Beth. What was his contribution to
• 46:26
  that situation? How about the Samaritan?
• 46:29
  He was on his way and he was waylaid by armed robbers.
• 46:33
  It was not his fault. I'm telling you there are times
• 46:37
  that certain things happen to you and they're a direct
• 46:40
  consequence of your neglect, a direct consequence of ignorance
• 46:44
  for this world we live in. When you grow old enough you
• 46:47
  will see certain things that except God shows you mercy.
• 46:50
  You can be a victim of tragedies and calamities you have no
• 46:54
  direct contribution from. Are we together?
• 46:58
  A child can steal and be jailed and leave the mother with
• 47:01
  depression and pain. What was her crime?
• 47:04
  That she gave birth to the child.
• 47:08
  Someone can decide to hate you because you come from a certain
• 47:11
  tribe or a certain region. Was it your fault?
• 47:14
  No. But let me tell you the truth.
• 47:17
  Even in the midst of storms, there is hope for the believer.
• 47:21
  You can have peace and rest in the midst of storms.
• 47:28
  The rent has not been paid. I understand you are not sure.
• 47:33
  Let me speak to our family in diaspora.
• 47:35
  You're not sure where your papers will come from.
• 47:38
  You're not even sure if you're going to be left or deported.
• 47:41
  You're not sure where your rent, your mortgage is eating on you
• 47:44
  like a weight on your neck. Maybe there's some single mother
• 47:49
  or someone. It may not have been your fault.
• 47:51
  What do you have to tell a woman who was raped, for instance, and
• 47:55
  got pregnant and now has twins to take care of?
• 47:58
  It's true you sympathize with our situation, but there are
• 48:01
  realities right now that she must deal with.
• 48:03
  Can I tell you, let me suggest to you, by the Spirit of God,
• 48:07
  minimize criticizing people's situation.
• 48:10
  Are we together now? Billy Graham said leave judgment
• 48:13
  to God because you may not understand the full context that
• 48:17
  surrounds the pain of people so that you do not make unrighteous
• 48:21
  judgment. When you find people, cry.
• 48:24
  If you cannot comfort them, pray for them from a distance.
• 48:27
  Who is learning already? Praise the name of the Lord.
• 48:31
  Hallelujah. If you saw Jesus hanging on the
• 48:35
  cross, you would think that he was on the cross because he was
• 48:39
  a criminal. I told you, the prison and the
• 48:41
  cross are two mysterious places. That is where both good and bad
• 48:46
  people meet. If you see anybody in the
• 48:48
  prison, don't be quick to judge because Joseph is there too.
• 48:52
  If you see anyone on the cross, don't be quick to judge, because
• 48:55
  Jesus is somewhere among those criminals too, and in His case,
• 48:59
  He's not dying for his own personal sin.
• 49:01
  There are people hanging on many crosses, carrying the scene of
• 49:04
  their family members, carrying the scene of their loved ones.
• 49:07
  Are we together? They are paying that price once
• 49:10
  and for all so that they can work in partnership with the
• 49:13
  Holy Spirit to sponsor the liberation of the generation
• 49:16
  after them. You can find peace, and you can
• 49:23
  have rest in the midst of storms.
• 49:25
  You know, when people die before they take them to the Mortuary?
• 49:29
  Most times for those who are connected to me, related to me
• 49:33
  or have access to my number, most times you'll find the
• 49:36
  people sending, trying to release their faith.
• 49:38
  And so you know how we do it in Africa.
• 49:40
  They prohibit the doctors from burying the dead body.
• 49:43
  They say, look, let's give God a chance and see what happens.
• 49:45
  And your phone is bombarded with people who believe in you.
• 49:49
  They have such confidence and trust in you.
• 49:51
  And they say, apostle, I just believe that if you can just say
• 49:55
  what this person who died can come back to life.
• 49:57
  And I can tell you as a man of God, sometimes it puts you in a
• 50:00
  very uncomfortable position because the word of God makes
• 50:03
  provision for resurrection and the people believe in you and
• 50:06
  believe in you. Anointing.
• 50:09
  Now, it's very difficult to begin to educate those people
• 50:12
  under that kind of intense pressure.
• 50:14
  How do you tell a woman is going to be all right when she's
• 50:17
  holding a cancer stage for diagnosis?
• 50:23
  How do you tell somebody is going to be all right as a
• 50:25
  pastor when he's watching empty pills and it looks like things
• 50:29
  are going haywire? How do you tell someone is going
• 50:32
  to be all right when they've been bullied?
• 50:34
  Their properties have been collected?
• 50:36
  Sometimes life can look so harsh and life can look so unfair.
• 50:40
  But let me speak a word of hope to someone.
• 50:43
  You can find peace. You can find rest in the midst
• 50:47
  of the storm. The goal is to rise above it.
• 50:51
  The goal is to walk in victory. But let me start with those who
• 50:54
  are in the midst of the storm. I will soar.
• 50:59
  With you above the storm, Father, you are King over and I
• 51:10
  will be still and know. You who are God, I will be still
• 51:17
  and know. You I will be still and know.
• 51:29
  You I will be still and know you.
• 51:36
  Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 51:43
  Life for you. So the first dimension of peace
• 51:46
  and rest as defined by the word Shalom is peace, rest in the
• 51:52
  midst of storms. Can I tell you this?
• 51:57
  It's important for you to realize, and I will repeat this
• 52:04
  later on, your convictions must be greater than the happenings
• 52:09
  around you. If not, you cannot have true
• 52:11
  peace. If the happenings around you
• 52:15
  become greater than your conviction, it will overwhelm
• 52:19
  you. Because there are times I can
• 52:21
  tell you it looks like the more you pray, it's as if God is
• 52:25
  sleeping over you. Are we together now?
• 52:28
  Remember the Bible says Jesus was sleeping in the boat and
• 52:31
  that boat was about to kill the people.
• 52:33
  Sometimes you can almost die in the presence of Jesus.
• 52:35
  Isn't that funny? For the centurion, it was
• 52:39
  because Jesus was far, and so he said, let me hurry up and reach
• 52:43
  Jesus. How do you explain the death of
• 52:46
  his disciples in a boat? Jesus is in their midst.
• 52:49
  The Bible says water was already entering the sheep and Jesus was
• 52:53
  asleep. You know what they said they
• 52:56
  didn't say save you. I love you, I worship you.
• 52:59
  You are the Rose of Sharon. They said care us not doubt that
• 53:02
  we perish. We are about to die and you are
• 53:05
  asked. You are acting like you are not
• 53:06
  seeing. I've been a faithful church
• 53:08
  member and I've done my best. I've lost my job.
• 53:12
  Now I cannot pay my rent. The more I serve the more the
• 53:15
  tragedy is build care us thou not that we perish.
• 53:19
  Let me tell you the truth, ladies and gentlemen, I am a man
• 53:22
  of faith. But I'm telling you, listen to
• 53:25
  my message. The other side of faith.
• 53:27
  I teach that faith is not always about obtaining promises.
• 53:32
  Sometimes it is also about a track record of consistency in
• 53:37
  the midst of fire. It is still faith.
• 53:40
  There were those who died according to Hebrews 11, without
• 53:43
  obtaining promises, but all the elders obtain a good report.
• 53:48
  That report is more noble than the promise that you believe
• 53:52
  somebody who had cancer, trusting God to heal the person
• 53:55
  and the person still died. You can be discouraged and feel
• 53:58
  God filled. You know you are still a man of
• 54:00
  faith. You trusted God to the end.
• 54:03
  The Bible says there is a compensation system in heaven
• 54:07
  that those who died, those who went through fire believing that
• 54:11
  God will save them, are we together.
• 54:14
  And those who gave up an opportunity for deliverance
• 54:17
  because they believe to a better resurrection, there will be a
• 54:21
  consolation. So let me tell you something, if
• 54:24
  you really believe God genuinely in this life and things still go
• 54:28
  bad, find rest in your lifetime. And even if it goes beyond your
• 54:33
  lifetime, the justice system of God will insist that you must
• 54:37
  receive a reward for trusting God in the midst of fire.
• 54:43
  Yes, Sir, yes, Sir, yes, Sir. We will speak the language of
• 54:48
  victory, but this is another language of victory that is
• 54:51
  foreign to many believers because our orientation of
• 54:55
  victory is until you stand above the challenge, that is true.
• 54:59
  That is the ultimate, but the ability to be resilient in the
• 55:04
  midst of fire is victory indeed. Joseph did not become victorious
• 55:11
  when he became Prime Minister. He was victorious when for being
• 55:15
  blackmailed. But do you know what it means to
• 55:17
  go through the emotional, psychological pain of being
• 55:20
  betrayed by your brothers? Then he went to Potiphar's
• 55:24
  house. Just when he looked like his
• 55:26
  head was rising above the waters.
• 55:28
  Then Potiphar's wife came with her trouble.
• 55:32
  Are we together? And she held his cloth.
• 55:35
  How do you deny that? And the guy went to prison and
• 55:38
  then to make matters worse, he now interpreted the dream of
• 55:42
  someone and begged the person. He said please, I'm sure they
• 55:45
  were discussing injustice in the prison with the man and
• 55:49
  discussing how people forget people.
• 55:51
  And he said, I hope you are not like that.
• 55:52
  I don't know me. As soon as I'm going out, just
• 55:55
  know that by next week you are out of this place.
• 55:57
  Next week became two years the heart of man for you.
• 56:01
  I've shared it with you here. If I'm Joseph and I come out,
• 56:04
  mention two people who you would deal with first, 41st wife and
• 56:09
  who you ask the person and say come, you still remember my
• 56:13
  face. Can I tell you the truth?
• 56:23
  There are certain tears that are not proof of defeat.
• 56:28
  It is only victorious people that cry, that kind of cry.
• 56:34
  There are certain kinds of tears when they come out from your
• 56:36
  eyes. It is not a sign of
• 56:39
  faithlessness, it is that you love God in the midst of fire.
• 56:44
  Are we together? Now that you have said, though
• 56:47
  he slay me, I will trust him. I believed God to bring my child
• 56:52
  back to life and the child died. Lord, I still count you
• 56:55
  faithful. I believe God for my business to
• 56:58
  turn around that I will get the contract.
• 57:01
  I even had dreams and visions and I saw that I got the
• 57:05
  contract, but now they said the contract is gone.
• 57:15
  Let's sing a song, Lord, you seem so.
• 57:17
  Far away, 1,000,000 miles on what it feels today.
• 57:26
  Allow me minister to you for one minute.
• 57:28
  And though I haven't lost my faith, I must confess right now.
• 57:35
  That is hard. For me to pray.
• 57:40
  I must sing that part again. Listen and though.
• 57:43
  I haven't lost my faith. I must confess right now.
• 57:48
  That is hard for. Me to pray, Hold on.
• 57:54
  You wave your wife goodbye and 15 minutes later, because she
• 57:59
  entered an airplane on her way to London, they say she's dead.
• 58:04
  There were people who held hands and prayed before they started.
• 58:08
  Maybe, just maybe, there were people who shouted in that plane
• 58:12
  and said God do something and they still died.
• 58:15
  Can I tell you the truth? If you've not gone through
• 58:18
  tragedy, you are too innocent to be blessed by this song.
• 58:21
  Allow me sing this song to someone who needs it.
• 58:24
  Lord, you seem so far away, and neither Miles and.
• 58:30
  What it feels today. And though I haven't lost my
• 58:40
  faith, I must confess right now. That it's hard for me to.
• 58:46
  Pray, I like this one, but I don't know what to say.
• 58:55
  I don't. Know.
• 58:56
  Where to start? But as you give the grapes with
• 59:02
  all that's in my heart, I will see.
• 59:08
  I will pray even in my darkest star, through the star and the
• 59:18
  day I will. See.
• 59:22
  You and I will pray I lift my heads throughout you because
• 59:31
  your word is true. I will see.
• 59:37
  I don't know if us do so well, but let me try it.
• 59:41
  Lord, it's. Hard for me to see all the
• 59:45
  thoughts and plans. You have.
• 59:47
  For. Me very.
• 59:51
  Difficult to. See that?
• 59:54
  But I will put my trust in you, knowing that you die, to set me
• 1:00:01
  free. But I don't know what to say to
• 1:00:09
  say I. Don't know where to.
• 1:00:13
  Start unless you. Give the praise with all that
• 1:00:19
  say. Thy heart I will see even if my
• 1:00:33
  God, I was here. That's the part of the song.
• 1:00:42
  I leave my hands to honor you because you were singing again.
• 1:00:49
  I leave my hands to honor you because your word is true.
• 1:00:56
  I leave my hands to honor you because your word is true.
• 1:01:00
  I leave my hands to honor you because.
• 1:01:18
  There are times that you'll begin with life.
• 1:01:23
  It's not what eventually happens.
• 1:01:26
  There are times that there is no need explaining anything to
• 1:01:29
  anyone because only you and God can understand what is happening
• 1:01:33
  to you. There are times that not your
• 1:01:35
  spouse, not your child, not relatives can understand.
• 1:01:39
  If you are Joe, no one can understand, not even your wife.
• 1:02:11
  I will see. Let's talk about the victorious
• 1:02:18
  side of peace. I'm coming back to this because
• 1:02:22
  I have a message for people who have been brutally wounded.
• 1:02:25
  The Lord placed it in my heart. So we start with this.
• 1:02:31
  We talk about victory above the storms.
• 1:02:34
  Then I will end by giving a prophetic word of comfort to
• 1:02:39
  those who have had reason to cry.
• 1:02:42
  Don't be ashamed of your tears, even if you are Jesus.
• 1:02:50
  So we have 2 dimensions of Shalom, rest and peace.
• 1:02:57
  I said #1 is rest and peace in the midst of storms #2 The
• 1:03:03
  second dimension of peace is deliverance from calamity,
• 1:03:09
  unrest round about. Deliverance from calamity,
• 1:03:14
  unrest round about. So while the first dimension of
• 1:03:18
  peace deals with the stamina, the staying power, the
• 1:03:22
  conviction, the ability to trust God and count and judge Him
• 1:03:26
  faithful in the midst of negative, unfavorable
• 1:03:29
  situations, the second dimension of peace talks about
• 1:03:33
  deliverance, a rescue from calamity, and then God giving
• 1:03:39
  you rest. Round about Psalm 91, please,
• 1:03:44
  from verse 11:50. Now you see the contrast.
• 1:03:50
  On one hand He says when you pass through the river I will be
• 1:03:54
  with you. When you walk through fire I
• 1:03:56
  will be with you. But here we see in Psalm 9110,
• 1:03:59
  same Bible, same God, same dealings with men.
• 1:04:02
  He says there shall no evil befall you, it will not even
• 1:04:06
  come, neither shall any plague come nigh your dwelling.
• 1:04:11
  Let me tell you what it means to be a Christian.
• 1:04:13
  Say Amen to everything God says. If God says I will deliver you
• 1:04:18
  in the midst of fire, say Amen. If he says I will grant you
• 1:04:21
  stamina to go to it, say Amen once it is God that has spoken,
• 1:04:27
  it is what saying Amen to. Are we together now?
• 1:04:29
  If you don't say selective, Amen.
• 1:04:31
  When it has to do with the voice of God, respect the intelligence
• 1:04:34
  behind his speakings. If he says a doctor will
• 1:04:39
  empower, I will empower a doctor to be your friend if he's God
• 1:04:43
  that said it was your response, Amen.
• 1:04:45
  If he says I will keep you in health and wholeness, what's
• 1:04:48
  your response Amen? Provided the mouth of God
• 1:04:51
  speaks, the response of the believer is Amen.
• 1:04:56
  Are we together? So Psalm 91, let's look at
• 1:05:01
  11:50. There shall no evil befall thee.
• 1:05:04
  I needed to comfort you so that you don't feel guilty saying
• 1:05:07
  Amen to this, because you said Amen to stamina in the midst of
• 1:05:11
  fire. Now when it looks like you're
• 1:05:13
  saying Amen to the fact that the fire should not even come, you
• 1:05:16
  are not contrasting yourself. You believe God that far, that
• 1:05:20
  whether in the midst of fire, or above the fire, I say, Amen,
• 1:05:24
  There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any play come nigh
• 1:05:28
  thy dwelling. Verse 11.
• 1:05:30
  He said, He shall give his angels charge over you.
• 1:05:34
  They shall keep thee in all thy ways.
• 1:05:37
  Verse 12. They shall bear thee up on their
• 1:05:40
  hands or wings, lest thou dash your foot against a stone.
• 1:05:46
  Praise the name of the Lord. So the honest truth is that
• 1:05:49
  there are times, and that's God's ideal, by the way, that
• 1:05:54
  you experience total victory. Daniel chapter 3.
• 1:05:59
  We looked at the earlier verses. Let's now go to 24 and 25.
• 1:06:05
  The three Hebrew boys, sadly, unfortunately, they believed God
• 1:06:10
  to not get into the fire, but they did get into the fire.
• 1:06:14
  But a miracle happened. Two of these dimensions of peace
• 1:06:18
  happened in the life of Shadrach, Meshach, and abednego
• 1:06:21
  #1 They got into the fire, But number 2.
• 1:06:24
  They came out of the fire. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was
• 1:06:29
  astonished, and rose up in haste and speak, and said unto his
• 1:06:33
  counselors, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst
• 1:06:37
  of the fire? And they answered unto the king,
• 1:06:40
  True, O king. Verse 25 Then he said, No, I see
• 1:06:47
  four men loose walking in the midst of the fire, and they have
• 1:06:53
  no heart. And the form of the 4th is like
• 1:06:56
  the Son of God. Verse 26.
• 1:07:01
  And Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery
• 1:07:04
  furnace, and he says Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, these
• 1:07:08
  guys were not running around and wondering.
• 1:07:10
  They could hear him, they could answer Ye servants of the Most
• 1:07:14
  High God. He says comfort.
• 1:07:16
  And they came forth, and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
• 1:07:20
  came forth in the midst of the fire.
• 1:07:23
  Are you seeing that now? They came forth, and they now
• 1:07:26
  saw this man. The Bible says man whose bodies
• 1:07:29
  the fire had no power. This man not the smell of fire
• 1:07:36
  was not even on them because there was a fourth man.
• 1:07:39
  We have a series on angels and I'll be teaching you the classes
• 1:07:43
  of angels and I'll explain to you from this verse.
• 1:07:46
  There is an Angel called the Angel of the Lord's presence is
• 1:07:49
  actually a name for the Holy Spirit.
• 1:07:53
  He's the Angel of the Lord's presence.
• 1:08:00
  Praise the name of the Lord. Let's leave it for that series.
• 1:08:06
  So there are different classes of angels.
• 1:08:07
  The Bible teaches the archangels, the Seraphs, the
• 1:08:11
  Cheryl Beams, the ministering spirits.
• 1:08:14
  They the Bible talks about entertaining angels unawares.
• 1:08:21
  There are angels that are like men.
• 1:08:22
  You most likely have sat down close to 1.
• 1:08:25
  You most likely have related to 1.
• 1:08:27
  I can assure you it's not no, classically speaking, angels and
• 1:08:33
  having to walk in the reality of this peace.
• 1:08:35
  I'll give you 2 or 3 because the Bible seems to challenge us
• 1:08:38
  about the subject of peace and rest.
• 1:08:40
  And it appears that although that is God's desire, the Bible
• 1:08:44
  attests to the fact that the Saints have not yet worked in
• 1:08:48
  the experience of it. A few verses my catch up to 2
• 1:08:52
  and verse 10. It challenges us as to the fact
• 1:08:56
  that we have not yet entered our rest.
• 1:08:58
  Micah to understand it says arise and depart for this is not
• 1:09:04
  your rest, meaning there is still a rest for you.
• 1:09:07
  How about Hebrews chapter 4 Popular scripture from verse 9
• 1:09:10
  to 11. Hebrews chapter 4-9 to 11.
• 1:09:14
  The Bible says there remaineth therefore a rest to the people
• 1:09:18
  of God. Verse 10 he says he that is
• 1:09:21
  entered into his rest has also ceased from his works as God did
• 1:09:25
  from his. Verse 11 he says let us label
• 1:09:28
  it's an active. Word.
• 1:09:29
  That there is a participation on your own part labeled therefore
• 1:09:33
  to enter into the experience of that rest Hallelujah.
• 1:09:40
  The Bible exemplifies the subject of peace and rest in the
• 1:09:44
  story of a widow in Luke chapter 18, the context was about
• 1:09:48
  prayer, but the intent was to find rest.
• 1:09:51
  Round about 18, verse 1, he spake A parable to the end that
• 1:09:55
  men ought always to pray and not to faint.
• 1:09:58
  The story begins now. There was a city in a city a
• 1:10:02
  George that judge did not fear God, neither regard men.
• 1:10:06
  I prayed for you before. Let me pray again.
• 1:10:08
  May you never made this kind of man in your life shout Amen.
• 1:10:14
  A man that does not fear God and a man that does not regard men
• 1:10:18
  is a dangerous man to come around.
• 1:10:21
  Are we together? Verse 3, the Bible says and
• 1:10:26
  there was a widow in that city. The description widow already
• 1:10:30
  tells you that this woman seemed defenseless, lost her husband
• 1:10:34
  for whatever reason she came to him saying avenge me, my
• 1:10:37
  adversary. And the Bible says for a while
• 1:10:40
  he would not event. In other words, she wanted rest,
• 1:10:43
  she wanted justice, she wanted everything intact that will give
• 1:10:47
  her wholesome peace, and for a while the judge will not respond
• 1:10:50
  to her. And then one day he said within
• 1:10:53
  himself, though I fear not God, nor regard men.
• 1:10:56
  Verse 5. He says, Yet this woman troubled
• 1:10:59
  me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming is a word
• 1:11:05
  importunity, persistence, her consistency, that she will weary
• 1:11:10
  me. And Jesus now says, verse 6.
• 1:11:14
  The Lord said here what the unjust George said. 7 Shall God
• 1:11:18
  not avenge his own elect, that cry to him night and day, though
• 1:11:22
  he be along with them? In other words, this is a
• 1:11:26
  statement that referred to God's desire to give his people rest
• 1:11:30
  round about, to give them wholesome peace.
• 1:11:33
  Are we learning now? So it's important for us to know
• 1:11:36
  that even though the covenant of peace is available for all
• 1:11:39
  believers, there is an experience of it.
• 1:11:44
  Most people know that there is such a provision in Christ and
• 1:11:48
  there's such a provision available to the sense, but they
• 1:11:51
  are yet to enter into the experience of completeness,
• 1:11:55
  wholesome, rest, roundabout. And I'm praying in the name of
• 1:11:59
  Jesus as I begin to unveil the keys, I pray that someone will
• 1:12:03
  experientially enter into that covenant of peace, enter into
• 1:12:07
  that covenant of rest in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 1:12:12
  Pray in the Spirit for one minute as I unveil for you by
• 1:12:16
  the masses of God the keys that we must engage if we desire to
• 1:12:22
  step into a life of rest, of wholesome rest, roundabout
• 1:12:28
  completeness, and if we want to give longevity to the
• 1:12:34
  manifestation of good things in our.
• 1:12:35
  Lives. Hallelujah.
• 1:12:48
  Are you ready? Now?
• 1:12:51
  I'm going to be giving you very quickly 6 keys.
• 1:12:55
  These 6 keys are the Kingdom keys that deliver for you your
• 1:13:00
  portion of this covenant of peace.
• 1:13:04
  It is a reality in Christ. Hallelujah, but you must know
• 1:13:09
  how to engage with these keys. The assignment of keys is to
• 1:13:13
  open doors so that it grants you access.
• 1:13:16
  Keys turn potential to experience.
• 1:13:19
  And in the name of Jesus, as you listen and write and learn and
• 1:13:24
  imprint this in your spirit, you will begin to walk in unusual
• 1:13:28
  dimensions of peace, of rest, and of wholeness.
• 1:13:31
  You believe that say Amen key #1 but anyone who desires to step
• 1:13:36
  into the covenant of peace, the first biblical key is a life of
• 1:13:42
  total surrender to Jesus. Write that down, please.
• 1:13:46
  As simple as that sounds, allow me explain it for you.
• 1:13:49
  A life of total surrender to the lordship of Jesus.
• 1:13:56
  A life of total surrender to the lordship of Jesus.
• 1:14:01
  Now let me tell you what this means.
• 1:14:03
  That statement right there is beyond born again.
• 1:14:06
  Are we together? Now when we talk about a life of
• 1:14:09
  total surrender, it starts with your accepting Jesus in what you
• 1:14:14
  call the new birth experience. But it goes beyond that.
• 1:14:18
  When we talk about a life of total surrender, we are talking
• 1:14:22
  about a life of surrender, devotion, dependence, and trust,
• 1:14:29
  not just an initial salvation experience.
• 1:14:32
  It is possible to receive the life of God and not be totally
• 1:14:36
  surrendered. Absolutely.
• 1:14:37
  In fact, the context of salvation is not even
• 1:14:40
  surrendering your life to Jesus really is receiving His life
• 1:14:44
  into your spirit. There is a conscious journey of
• 1:14:48
  surrender that happens to believe us in Christ.
• 1:14:54
  There's a dimension of peace you will never have until your life
• 1:14:58
  is surrendered. Let me tell you what it means to
• 1:15:00
  live a surrendered life. You have learned to cast your
• 1:15:03
  cares before the Lord because He cares.
• 1:15:06
  You have gotten to a point where you are so conscious of His
• 1:15:09
  lordship over your life is a life of surrender, dependence,
• 1:15:16
  devotion, and trust. I know my Redeemer leaves
• 1:15:24
  Matthew Chapter 11 and verse 28, the first key to experiencing
• 1:15:30
  the covenant of peace. Rest round about.
• 1:15:34
  He says come on to me, read with me the first 3 words.
• 1:15:37
  Everybody one to go. Jesus is speaking now one more
• 1:15:42
  time, so he starts with a call. He's he's proposing to you
• 1:15:47
  making a call. He says once you discover that
• 1:15:51
  you labor and you are heavy laden, he says common to me, you
• 1:15:55
  may not know your way around life, you have been buffeted
• 1:15:59
  have been perplexed on all sides.
• 1:16:01
  The Bible says once you are conscious of the fact that you
• 1:16:04
  cannot help your life, it looks like things are going haywire.
• 1:16:08
  Business is going down, marriage is going down, your career is
• 1:16:12
  going down, your reputation is going down.
• 1:16:15
  He says the scriptural solution out of a life of tragedy and
• 1:16:19
  pain and regret and calamity and every other thing in between is
• 1:16:23
  common to me. Come on to me.
• 1:16:26
  He didn't say discuss with me. He didn't just say call my
• 1:16:29
  attention. He said come on to me, come on
• 1:16:32
  to me, said demonstration of humility and dependence.
• 1:16:36
  Humility and dependence. Hallelujah, Lord, if you do not
• 1:16:44
  help me, there is no one who can help me.
• 1:16:46
  Vain is the help of a man. I'm owing debts to the billions
• 1:16:50
  and if you don't show up for me, I know that things will not work
• 1:16:54
  out for me. If you don't show up for my
• 1:16:56
  children, if you don't show up over my health, I sense a Lumbee
• 1:17:01
  breast lump. I sense some pain somewhere and
• 1:17:04
  I went and they said they have to check it, hoping that it's
• 1:17:07
  not, it's not cancerous and you are already, you know that you
• 1:17:10
  cannot help yourself. He says come on to me, someone
• 1:17:15
  God is calling you. You are trying to fabricate all
• 1:17:18
  kinds of intelligent formula out of your trouble, but it is very
• 1:17:22
  clear that your brain cannot take you beyond this.
• 1:17:26
  Come on to me, come on to me. Hallelujah.
• 1:17:32
  Praise the name of the Lord. Total surrender, total
• 1:17:39
  surrender. I learned early in life to seek
• 1:17:43
  the Lord with all my heart and to not trust in my own strength.
• 1:17:47
  Proverbs 3 from verse 5 to 7 popular scripture.
• 1:17:52
  Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not onto your own
• 1:17:56
  understanding. Verse 6 says in all your ways,
• 1:17:59
  in all your ways, in all your ways, even your troubled ways.
• 1:18:03
  Acknowledge him and she shall direct your path.
• 1:18:06
  Verse 7 says be not wise in your own eyes.
• 1:18:09
  He says fear the Lord and turn away or depart from evil.
• 1:18:13
  Is someone learning tonight Second Chronicles chapter 15?
• 1:18:18
  Let's read from verse 12 to 15. The first key that anyone must
• 1:18:23
  engage, if you desire to see the covenant of peace, wholeness,
• 1:18:29
  rest round about, you want to enter a realm of rest in
• 1:18:34
  experience, Nothing missing, nothing broken.
• 1:18:41
  The Bible says in Second Chronicles they entered into a
• 1:18:45
  covenant. Are we still here to seek the
• 1:18:48
  Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all
• 1:18:52
  their soul? Verse 13 That whosoever will not
• 1:18:55
  seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether
• 1:18:59
  small or great, whether men or women. 15 And they swear unto
• 1:19:05
  the Lord with a loud voice, and with shouting, with trumpets,
• 1:19:08
  with Cornex. And all Judah rejoiced at the
• 1:19:12
  oath. They bound themselves with an
• 1:19:14
  oath, for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him
• 1:19:18
  with their old desire. Read the remaining part with me.
• 1:19:21
  And he was found of them. And the Lord gave them Shalom.
• 1:19:28
  Rest round about, rest round about, rest round about.
• 1:19:37
  When you make Jesus your priority, when you come under
• 1:19:41
  the governing influence of His Lordship, acknowledging the fact
• 1:19:45
  that you have no power to help yourself, please hear me.
• 1:19:49
  We live in an arrogant world where we over depend on
• 1:19:53
  intellect. We over depend on political
• 1:19:56
  might. We over depend on connection.
• 1:19:59
  All of these together are factors that make a successful
• 1:20:02
  life. But like I've heard you've heard
• 1:20:04
  me say, there are times that you can have the right boat.
• 1:20:07
  There are times you can have the right net.
• 1:20:10
  There are times you can be a professional fisherman.
• 1:20:12
  There are times you can be at the right location.
• 1:20:14
  You will still not catch fish. It's not a, it's not a
• 1:20:18
  proficiency problem, it's not a boat problem, it's not a fishing
• 1:20:22
  problem. It's not a river problem.
• 1:20:25
  That's life for you. Peter was a fisherman.
• 1:20:28
  He had the right net, the right boat was in the right place at
• 1:20:32
  the right time, and he did not catch fish.
• 1:20:37
  The race is not to the swift truly, nor the battle to the
• 1:20:41
  strong, nor bread to them that are wise.
• 1:20:43
  I've seen two statements in the Bible that made me afraid.
• 1:20:46
  First statement reach full. Second statement, Poor wise man.
• 1:20:51
  These statements are not supposed to be together.
• 1:20:54
  The word fool and rich should not be together, but you find it
• 1:20:58
  in the Bible. The word poor and wise should
• 1:21:01
  not be together and yet you find it together.
• 1:21:04
  There was a city that had a poor wise man.
• 1:21:07
  The man operated his wisdom but remained in poverty.
• 1:21:10
  And the Bible gave us a very strong lesson.
• 1:21:12
  Ecclesiastes Chapter 9. He says, truly, let's see the
• 1:21:15
  lesson since you've tempted me to go there.
• 1:21:18
  Wisdom is better than strength. But he say a poor man's wisdom
• 1:21:22
  is despised and his words are not heard.
• 1:21:26
  How do you by wisdom deliver a city and yet you are not
• 1:21:30
  rewarded? Mordecai said a king and later
• 1:21:33
  was rewarded a man delivered a city and still remained poor
• 1:21:37
  life for you. Another man was foolish and
• 1:21:39
  stupid yet he had money enough to build bands life for you.
• 1:21:47
  There are times you look at people and you are angry because
• 1:21:49
  you are wondering who manipulated this equation that
• 1:21:52
  this man is living this kind of life.
• 1:21:55
  How did this man become a senator?
• 1:21:57
  How did this man become a governor?
• 1:22:00
  And yet you see another wonderful inventor begging for
• 1:22:03
  rent, a man who has a solution that can solve transcontinental
• 1:22:07
  problems. Let me tell you ladies and
• 1:22:09
  gentlemen, in this life, 1 + 1 is not only always 2.
• 1:22:15
  Demons can clean 2 and add 0 and unfortunately life will still
• 1:22:20
  match you like that. And God who can clean it and put
• 1:22:23
  anything there. Any spirit can manipulate the
• 1:22:26
  outcome. Life is not mathematical, it
• 1:22:29
  should be. Unfortunately it's not.
• 1:22:35
  Learn that so you don't take life too personal.
• 1:22:38
  You're not the only one angry at what is happening to you.
• 1:22:41
  How can I go to school and graduate a first class?
• 1:22:43
  No job my brother. This is the reality of life.
• 1:22:48
  How does someone bully me? I bought my land here and my
• 1:22:51
  papers, they collected it in my presence.
• 1:22:53
  I told you a story. Many years ago we had our ticket
• 1:22:57
  in a particular city in this country, our flight ticket many,
• 1:23:01
  many years ago in our presence. Some politicians came and they,
• 1:23:05
  they carried the, the, the plane and left.
• 1:23:16
  Can you imagine that people were angry and were shouting Nigeria?
• 1:23:20
  I just kept quiet because no matter what you say, your prayer
• 1:23:23
  is for the next plane to come so that you go in peace.
• 1:23:27
  Life for you. Are we together?
• 1:23:33
  I told you about the story of the late Amia in Zaria many
• 1:23:36
  years ago is a story that we heard that someone did not have
• 1:23:40
  the height requirements to go to NDA and they dismissed the
• 1:23:43
  person and in anger, someone who was related to the Emir went and
• 1:23:47
  met the person and they said Can you imagine?
• 1:23:49
  They said the person was too short and he said they should
• 1:23:52
  send a message back to the commandant that the emir has
• 1:23:55
  added his height. If you are the commandant of
• 1:24:02
  whoever you you know what that message means.
• 1:24:11
  Let me tell you this, the earlier you surrender totally,
• 1:24:16
  the more you are scheduling A bailout system for yourself.
• 1:24:20
  Are we together now? Trust in the Lord with all your
• 1:24:24
  heart. Lean not onto your own
• 1:24:27
  understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge
• 1:24:29
  Him. He shall direct your path.
• 1:24:33
  Seek Him and trust Him. Psalm 125 Quickly let's look at
• 1:24:37
  verse one and then we read down is just six chapters there that
• 1:24:42
  trust in the Lord Koinonia hear me they shall be as Mount Zion,
• 1:24:47
  which cannot be removed but abides forever.
• 1:24:50
  There is longevity to those who trust God.
• 1:24:54
  Verse 2 as the mountains around about Jerusalem, so the Lord is
• 1:24:59
  round about the people from henceforth, even forever and
• 1:25:03
  ever. Three, he says, for the rod of
• 1:25:05
  the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous.
• 1:25:08
  Let me pause here, shout Amen. The rod of the wicked shall not
• 1:25:12
  rest upon the lot of the righteous, lest the righteous
• 1:25:15
  put for their hands in iniquity. Then verse 4.
• 1:25:18
  It says, Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them
• 1:25:23
  that are upright in their hearts.
• 1:25:25
  Verse 5. It says, As for such as turn
• 1:25:28
  aside to their crooked ways, the Lord shall lead them forth with
• 1:25:31
  the workers of iniquity, but peace, but peace shall be upon
• 1:25:39
  his Israel. Final verse 6, is it 6 or it
• 1:25:45
  ends at 5 when the law OK, no, no, verse 5, we'll stop there.
• 1:25:48
  That's where it ends. Verse 5, peace shall be to the
• 1:25:52
  Israel of God. Say I receive peace.
• 1:25:55
  So the first key is in life of total surrender to the lordship
• 1:25:59
  of Jesus. Let me tell you this, ladies and
• 1:26:01
  gentlemen, if you are in this place and you've not given your
• 1:26:04
  life to Jesus Christ sincerely and truthfully, whether you are
• 1:26:07
  here, overflows down to the basement outside or following
• 1:26:10
  online, once I make the altar call shortly after.
• 1:26:15
  Now please don't be in a hurry to rush and just act as if you
• 1:26:20
  are saved. It matters that you make your
• 1:26:23
  ways right with Jesus. We are living in very turbulent
• 1:26:26
  times. Jesus is the only one who is
• 1:26:28
  called the Prince of Peace. Like you're going to be
• 1:26:30
  learning. He says peace I give you.
• 1:26:33
  Only Jesus can give lasting peace.
• 1:26:36
  Are we learning now #2 very quickly.
• 1:26:39
  What's the second key You want to activate?
• 1:26:41
  The covenant of peace, that mystery that is called Shalom,
• 1:26:45
  wholeness, completeness. Nothing missing, nothing broken.
• 1:26:49
  Rest round about ready. Obedience.
• 1:26:53
  The second key is obedience. The covenant of peace is
• 1:26:59
  activated at the instance of obedience.
• 1:27:02
  Now let me say a few things as a background.
• 1:27:05
  God's love, I've taught you here, is unconditional, but
• 1:27:08
  walking in the reality of His promises is highly conditional.
• 1:27:13
  You may want to write that down, that God's love is
• 1:27:18
  unconditional. Even people who are in hell, God
• 1:27:21
  loves them. He cannot hate.
• 1:27:23
  It's not part of his character. God is love.
• 1:27:29
  God's love is unconditional, but working in the reality of his
• 1:27:33
  promises, including the covenant of peace, is highly conditional.
• 1:27:40
  You have that down. The next thing I wanted to write
• 1:27:43
  on that the point of obedience is this.
• 1:27:46
  No amount of prayers, confession, spiritual
• 1:27:51
  activities, or even impartation will substitute or replace the
• 1:27:57
  need for obedience. I'll take that.
• 1:27:59
  Again, no amount of prayers, no amount of confession, no amount
• 1:28:07
  of spiritual activities, not even impartation will substitute
• 1:28:15
  or replace the need for obedience.
• 1:28:19
  Now I'm not saying these things I mentioned are not important,
• 1:28:21
  but no amount of prayers, no amount of confession, no amount
• 1:28:27
  of spiritual activities or even impartation will substitute or
• 1:28:31
  replace the need for obedience. Obedience occupies a unique
• 1:28:37
  position in God's dealings and in God's economy.
• 1:28:41
  It cannot be replaced by the practice of any other spiritual
• 1:28:45
  activity. Hallelujah.
• 1:28:53
  Many times in Scripture we find the call to obedience scattered
• 1:28:57
  in many stories. For instance, in Matthew chapter
• 1:29:00
  14 and verse 28, the story of Jesus walking on water and Peter
• 1:29:05
  joining him. Peter looks at him walking on
• 1:29:08
  water and he says if it be thou, he says beat me, come the next
• 1:29:11
  verse. And then he tells Peter come.
• 1:29:14
  Notice he really did not speak to Peter.
• 1:29:17
  He spoke to everyone who could hear him.
• 1:29:20
  You can extend this to be an evangelical message.
• 1:29:23
  He's still asking men to come today.
• 1:29:25
  He didn't say Peter come. He said come because he knew
• 1:29:28
  that there are other people in the future who will need his
• 1:29:31
  help. And Peter went out and began to
• 1:29:35
  walk. The person who took the step of
• 1:29:38
  obedience was a person who experienced the miracle.
• 1:29:41
  How about John chapter 2 and verse 5?
• 1:29:42
  Popular scripture. The wedding in Cana of Galilee
• 1:29:45
  wine had finished. Remember in teaching you this
• 1:29:49
  scripture I taught you that sometimes trouble comes because
• 1:29:53
  of increase not because of losses.
• 1:29:56
  The problem in this wedding happened because there were more
• 1:30:00
  guests than were planned for and because of increase the wine
• 1:30:04
  finished. Are we together?
• 1:30:07
  And he said, whatsoever he says to do, he said, do it.
• 1:30:12
  And because they did that eventually a miracle happened in
• 1:30:16
  verse 8-9 and ten. And then the Bible says this
• 1:30:21
  beginning of miracles did Jesus in the presence of his
• 1:30:24
  disciples, and the Bible says he manifested forth his glory, and
• 1:30:29
  the disciples believed in him. The Bible talks about Hebrews
• 1:30:34
  chapter in Hebrews chapter 4 from verse one and two still
• 1:30:37
  speaking about the obedience. It says, let us therefore fear
• 1:30:41
  lest a promise been left us of entering into his rest.
• 1:30:45
  Any of you should seem to come short of it.
• 1:30:47
  Verse 2 It says, For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as
• 1:30:52
  unto them, but the word preached, the word declared the
• 1:30:56
  word spoken as potent, as powerful as it was, it did not
• 1:31:00
  profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard
• 1:31:05
  it. Obedience, obedience.
• 1:31:10
  Every time you obey God, you align to His will.
• 1:31:13
  You commit His power, you commit His integrity to perform.
• 1:31:18
  Hearing what God has said does not mean you have obeyed.
• 1:31:22
  Verbally responding to what God has said does not mean you have
• 1:31:25
  obeyed. It is doing what God has said.
• 1:31:28
  Whatsoever He says to do, do it. You want to walk in peace.
• 1:31:35
  You must learn to obey the Word of God and look up.
• 1:31:38
  Please. You know immediately that
• 1:31:40
  obedience demands a thorough knowledge of God's Word because
• 1:31:45
  you cannot obey in ignorance. If I'm not aware of your
• 1:31:50
  expectation about me, you can't say I'm disobeying you.
• 1:31:53
  Are we together? So the first challenge is to
• 1:31:56
  find out what the Word of God has says that makes for your
• 1:31:59
  peace. He cried over Jerusalem. 2
• 1:32:02
  reasons why Jesus cried in the Bible as recorded.
• 1:32:05
  Number one was over Jerusalem weeping for their ignorance.
• 1:32:08
  Second was at the tomb of Lazarus and when he cried over
• 1:32:12
  Jerusalem, the Bible says you overlook Jerusalem and he cried
• 1:32:16
  Jerusalem, Jerusalem. If only you had known in this
• 1:32:19
  your time the things that pertain unto your peace.
• 1:32:23
  Luke 194142 He looked over Jerusalem and he said, if you
• 1:32:27
  had known in this your time, the things that pertain unto your
• 1:32:31
  peace, he says what now they are heat from you.
• 1:32:33
  So it's it's an issue of blindness, ignorance because
• 1:32:38
  they did not know the day of their visitation.
• 1:32:41
  Obedience. Hallelujah.
• 1:32:45
  For instance, the Bible says give a portion to 7 and here to
• 1:32:51
  8 other newer versions who says scatter your investments in
• 1:32:55
  seven places and eight because you do not know the tragedy or
• 1:32:59
  the calamity that comes upon the earth.
• 1:33:01
  So an individual who is earning, for instance, and disobeys that
• 1:33:05
  principle does not sow your seed, does not sow anything you
• 1:33:09
  are. I'm not talking of giving
• 1:33:10
  physically, I'm talking of organizing your financial life.
• 1:33:14
  For instance, that person may hardly have financial peace.
• 1:33:18
  Are we together now because that person has become a waster
• 1:33:20
  himself? How about disobeying God's
• 1:33:25
  principle on the law of honor? The Bible says to honor all men.
• 1:33:29
  It says to honor the king. If you dishonor men, especially
• 1:33:32
  men strategically in authority, you will attract battles you do
• 1:33:36
  not need to fight, and in most cases you will lose.
• 1:33:40
  Hallelujah, Praise the name of the Lord.
• 1:33:44
  I was reading earlier on about a very interesting story between
• 1:33:48
  David and Saul. You know Saul.
• 1:33:51
  David had an opportunity twice to kill Saul and finish him but
• 1:33:56
  he would not even when Saul saw an overwhelming evidence what
• 1:34:00
  was Davids crime because his influence was growing and the
• 1:34:05
  women began to sing. Saul killed 1000, David killed
• 1:34:08
  10,000. From Goliath to everything.
• 1:34:10
  A man that married his daughter, a man you can imagine all the
• 1:34:13
  good things that happened and yet the king, he escaped death
• 1:34:16
  narrowly when he threw a javelin to kill him.
• 1:34:22
  Men who can like you today can hate you tomorrow, but your
• 1:34:26
  immunity is in your love for God and his principles.
• 1:34:30
  He had an he had the right to be angry and kill the man, but he
• 1:34:34
  said I would not lay my hands against God's anointed.
• 1:34:36
  Can I tell you something? Ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:34:39
  disobedience is a recipe for trouble.
• 1:34:42
  There are certain turbulence in your life that come as a result
• 1:34:47
  of a reaction. When disobedience rises to the
• 1:34:50
  realm of the Spirit, there is a reaction.
• 1:34:52
  Financial losses, losses of opportunities close doors.
• 1:34:57
  There are people you see, no matter how you pray for them,
• 1:35:00
  God just ask you to plead mercy on their case.
• 1:35:03
  You know why? Because they are perpetually in
• 1:35:05
  a position where they are participating with demons and
• 1:35:08
  spiritual laws to keep programming turbulence.
• 1:35:13
  Every time there is peace, there are actions or inactions
• 1:35:18
  contribute to the making of turbulence in their lives.
• 1:35:25
  Hallelujah. For instance, the Bible says
• 1:35:27
  given a fool, if he's silent, he's regarded wise.
• 1:35:30
  There are people today who are fighting needless battles.
• 1:35:32
  Their children have joined them simply because they did not know
• 1:35:35
  how to speak a word. In season, they stood before
• 1:35:39
  kings. You know that the the anger of a
• 1:35:41
  king is like the wrath of God. And there are people who stood
• 1:35:44
  before kings and said things they should not say.
• 1:35:49
  How about other aspects of obedience, Loving the Lord,
• 1:35:53
  studying His Word, living for Him, and so on and so forth.
• 1:35:57
  How about the mix of idolatry and the worship of the one true
• 1:36:02
  God? The Bible says thou shalt have
• 1:36:04
  no other gods before me. It's amazing how many people you
• 1:36:07
  may not go to a shrine directly, but it's clear through your life
• 1:36:10
  you are bowing to something else other than God.
• 1:36:13
  Like your certificate, like your bank account, like your ATM,
• 1:36:17
  like your brain. All these things are gods.
• 1:36:19
  They are deities in their own form that attempts to fight the
• 1:36:22
  place of God. He says for I the Lord your God
• 1:36:26
  is a jealous God. Someone say obedience.
• 1:36:30
  Abraham did not become a father of many nations simply because
• 1:36:33
  God spoke to him. Abraham engaged meaningfully
• 1:36:36
  with God until he translated that prophetic speak into a
• 1:36:39
  reality in Genesis chapter 22 when you read the Bible says now
• 1:36:43
  the Lord came to Abraham haven't spoken to him about the many
• 1:36:47
  great promises. He said Abraham take now thy
• 1:36:50
  only son whom thou lovest and take him to mount Moriah and go
• 1:36:53
  and offer him for a bond offering.
• 1:36:55
  The Bible says Abraham Arrow arose early.
• 1:36:58
  He arose early. He saddled his donkey, arose
• 1:37:01
  early and dragged Isaac, a child that he had waited for for
• 1:37:05
  decades. He was still willing to give him
• 1:37:08
  at the instance of God. I decree and declare the name of
• 1:37:13
  Jesus, the grace for delightsome obedience.
• 1:37:16
  Let it be released upon you in the name of Jesus very quickly.
• 1:37:21
  Let's go to #3 what is the third key that activates upon the life
• 1:37:25
  of an individual, an organization, a business, a
• 1:37:29
  ministry, even a nation, The covenant of peace.
• 1:37:33
  Are you ready? Meditating on God's Word?
• 1:37:35
  Now, please pay attention and let me explain.
• 1:37:37
  Explain this meditation on God's Word.
• 1:37:42
  This right here is the antidote to psychological degeneration,
• 1:37:49
  Meditating on God's Word. Because you see, peace, lack of
• 1:37:53
  peace, is a spiritual problem, a psychological problem, and a
• 1:37:58
  physical problem. You can deal with it spiritually
• 1:38:02
  by being born again, but if you do not know how to deal with the
• 1:38:05
  thoughts that eventually translate to a life of fear, of
• 1:38:10
  turbulence translated into sickness and the rest, you will
• 1:38:13
  never truly be free. You deepen, I wrote here.
• 1:38:19
  You deepen your understanding and strengthen your convictions
• 1:38:24
  as you meditate on the promises of God.
• 1:38:27
  You deepen your understanding and you strengthen your
• 1:38:32
  convictions to things that are very important for you to have
• 1:38:35
  peace. You deepen your understanding
• 1:38:39
  and you strengthen your convictions as you meditate on
• 1:38:44
  God's promises for your life. The Bible talks about the
• 1:38:53
  weapons of our warfare not being carnal, it says, but they are
• 1:38:56
  mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, it
• 1:39:01
  says, casting down every imagination and every high thing
• 1:39:05
  it says, and bringing every bringing every thought, laying
• 1:39:12
  it captive and bringing it to the obedience of Christ.
• 1:39:18
  Listen now, let me repeat the statement that I made earlier
• 1:39:21
  on. I said your convictions must
• 1:39:25
  become greater than any happenings around your life if
• 1:39:29
  you desire lasting peace. We already agreed earlier on
• 1:39:36
  that sometimes life can be unfair.
• 1:39:37
  Life can be funny. Life can be aggressive.
• 1:39:40
  Like storms, like turbulence at sea.
• 1:39:45
  Your convictions must be greater than the happenings around you.
• 1:39:49
  I know my Redeemer leaves. It doesn't matter what I see.
• 1:39:53
  I know that which is told me, and I am persuaded he said, But
• 1:39:57
  I know whom I believe, and I am persuaded that He's able to keep
• 1:40:01
  that which is committed unto him against that day.
• 1:40:07
  Praise the name of the Lord. Meditating on God's Word, John
• 1:40:14
  chapter 14 and verse 27. Let me tell you how Jesus gives
• 1:40:18
  peace. He gives peace by giving you His
• 1:40:21
  word. He gives you peace by allowing
• 1:40:24
  His word to So infiltrate up. Do I use that word?
• 1:40:29
  Dominate your thoughts until they become strongholds greater
• 1:40:34
  than any circumstance around you.
• 1:40:36
  For many years I thought the word peace, dear peace, I live
• 1:40:40
  with you. My peace I give unto you.
• 1:40:42
  I just saw it as a supernatural impartation and I believe there
• 1:40:46
  is a place for that. But the peace of God is largely
• 1:40:49
  transmitted to the believer through his words.
• 1:40:51
  He speakings contained within the word of God is his peace.
• 1:40:56
  Please keep that Scripture there.
• 1:40:58
  He says peace I live with you, my peace I give unto you, not as
• 1:41:04
  the world gives. The question is, how does the
• 1:41:07
  world give you peace? They give you peace by giving
• 1:41:10
  you things and telling you things, giving you things and
• 1:41:14
  telling you things, giving you things and telling you things.
• 1:41:18
  For instance, you will be promoted next week and all of a
• 1:41:21
  sudden you are bubbling with joy.
• 1:41:23
  It doesn't matter whether it comes to pass.
• 1:41:24
  They told you something and we did.
• 1:41:26
  Came peace, joy, a sense of fulfillment, progress and
• 1:41:29
  satisfaction. How does trouble come by?
• 1:41:32
  Something you hear too, or something that is taken away
• 1:41:35
  from your life? How did you become troubled and
• 1:41:38
  perplexed? Because something was told him
• 1:41:41
  and something was taken away from his life.
• 1:41:43
  You must meditate upon God's Word such that nothing in your
• 1:41:48
  hand or outside of your hand now controls what happens within
• 1:41:52
  you. Are we together now?
• 1:41:55
  If 1,000,000 is added to your account, you smile.
• 1:41:58
  If 1,000,000 is subtracted from your account, you frown.
• 1:42:01
  Without prophesying, I can know 1,000,000 was missing.
• 1:42:04
  By your face, I can know 1,000,000 just got added.
• 1:42:07
  You cannot live your life like that.
• 1:42:13
  Hallelujah, meditating on the word of God.
• 1:42:17
  It doesn't matter what happens, you are victorious.
• 1:42:21
  Listen to my message more than conquerors.
• 1:42:23
  Very. Powerful message.
• 1:42:32
  Philippians chapter 4 and verse 7 philippians chapter 4 and
• 1:42:36
  verse 7 everyone read with me please ready one to read and the
• 1:42:41
  peace of God which surpasseth all understanding.
• 1:42:46
  What should he do? Notice what does peace protect
• 1:42:52
  your heart or your spirit and your when it comes through his
• 1:42:57
  word. You have to protect your mind
• 1:43:00
  with the peace of God. Based on what I found in
• 1:43:06
  scripture, I told myself I will never stay awake because of
• 1:43:10
  worry in the name of Jesus. If I stay awake, it's because
• 1:43:14
  I'm walking. But worry will not be the reason
• 1:43:17
  to keep me on my seat. And believe me, I can tell you
• 1:43:22
  by the privilege of leading a ministry like this, it will be
• 1:43:26
  foolish for you to think that there's not been issues on my
• 1:43:29
  table that have called for concern.
• 1:43:32
  But because he gives his beloved sleep, you will never in the
• 1:43:36
  name of Jesus may never happen that you will see me like this.
• 1:43:41
  And you say apostle, what? What is wrong?
• 1:43:43
  So Kyle, do you know why? Because I have found out through
• 1:43:56
  his word, but I can look at the things that my light affliction
• 1:44:04
  which is bought for a moment. That's the I have used that
• 1:44:08
  scripture. You know how you you build a
• 1:44:10
  barbed wire to stop criminals from jumping into your house.
• 1:44:13
  You can use the word of God and build a Garrison around your
• 1:44:16
  life. The Lord is my light and my
• 1:44:19
  salvation. Of whom shall I be afraid of?
• 1:44:21
  Are we together now? Yes, my light affliction, which
• 1:44:26
  is, but for a moment it works in me a far more eternal and
• 1:44:31
  exceeding weight of glory, while I look not at the things that
• 1:44:35
  are seen, but the things that are unseen.
• 1:44:37
  For the things that are seen are temporal.
• 1:44:39
  The things that are unseen are eternal.
• 1:44:42
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
• 1:44:47
  The Bible says surely there is an end.
• 1:44:49
  So as a family, when you're going through all kinds of
• 1:44:51
  turbulence and you have no answer, you shout it to the
• 1:44:54
  devil's face. Surely there is an end.
• 1:44:56
  And I know that at the end of it I will stand victorious.
• 1:45:00
  I may not see wind, I may not see rain, but one thing I know
• 1:45:04
  for sure is that my valley will be filled with water.
• 1:45:06
  There are many ways to have water.
• 1:45:08
  Rain can bring water, but the earth also has water.
• 1:45:11
  I will not only look up alone. The earth also has water.
• 1:45:14
  The heavens also have water. Acts Noah.
• 1:45:16
  During the flood, both the earth and the heaven brought water,
• 1:45:19
  and I hope you know that water contain abundance, because
• 1:45:24
  everything that came out to the earth, it came from the water.
• 1:45:29
  So there are times it can come from here.
• 1:45:31
  And if the devil and demonic forces seem to block my heavens,
• 1:45:34
  even the earth, the earth talks of men.
• 1:45:37
  God, there are times mana can come from heaven.
• 1:45:39
  There are times it can come as a harvest, and you will let it
• 1:45:42
  come because when you are hungry, you need mana.
• 1:45:46
  Are we together now? Meditating on God's Word.
• 1:45:57
  Can I tell you this the truth? Obtain grace.
• 1:46:01
  I have. I have taught you and I will
• 1:46:02
  continue to do this. Please obtain grace.
• 1:46:06
  Manage the kinds of news you give priority to now.
• 1:46:10
  You're a responsible citizen. You should know the things
• 1:46:12
  happening around you. Unfortunately, the news around
• 1:46:15
  our world are largely negative. I want you to be very careful.
• 1:46:19
  Create a spiritual immigration system in your mind so that you
• 1:46:23
  see the news that enters your holy of holies.
• 1:46:27
  Are we together now? By the time you switch on your
• 1:46:30
  global televisions, national televisions, and you're hearing
• 1:46:34
  all kinds of things, after one hour you will see that you
• 1:46:37
  stopped eating. You didn't even know when you
• 1:46:39
  stopped eating because the reality of what this just said,
• 1:46:46
  oh they are going to downsize 5000 people and they call the
• 1:46:49
  name of your parastatal and they say they are starting with your
• 1:46:52
  department and you look at four children and your wife is
• 1:46:56
  pregnant for the 5th. You are now sitting and saying
• 1:46:58
  my God what am I going to do? And just when you are thinking
• 1:47:02
  Canada or US will come, you just receive an e-mail that you did
• 1:47:05
  not get the visa meaning you are not going anywhere.
• 1:47:13
  Are we together? You see the world.
• 1:47:17
  Have you seen you? You see what is happening in our
• 1:47:19
  world today? People drive and they talk to
• 1:47:21
  themselves. I'm not talking of old people, A
• 1:47:23
  young person calculating things until their car hit a tree or
• 1:47:26
  hit whatever. People are getting depressed.
• 1:47:29
  What does a young person have to do with high blood pressure?
• 1:47:32
  Under normal circumstances? Are we together?
• 1:47:37
  Even in church? I'm telling you, you check out.
• 1:47:39
  You think the people are typing notes?
• 1:47:40
  You see? Calculate.
• 1:47:41
  No, No 5000 * 11 * 3 Now, while, while it is funny, I hope you
• 1:47:50
  are getting what I'm saying. Listen, you must learn to
• 1:47:55
  meditate upon God's Word. Some of you as soon as you get
• 1:47:58
  up in the morning, justifiably so, you may need to check your
• 1:48:01
  mails and all of that, but you dwell.
• 1:48:02
  You are. Look, one news leads you to
• 1:48:04
  another 1-5 minutes news connects to another 10 minutes
• 1:48:07
  news connects to another statistical report and all of
• 1:48:11
  that. And then you just check
• 1:48:12
  something and it says once you get up in the morning and you
• 1:48:14
  have pain here is cancer and that's exactly the pain you had
• 1:48:18
  as you got up. You had no business thinking
• 1:48:20
  about cancer, but because you over expose yourself to certain
• 1:48:24
  information. How about you trying the Bible.
• 1:48:27
  You get up and it says wherever the source of your feet steps
• 1:48:30
  upon. I have given you for an
• 1:48:31
  inheritance. How about the re engineering
• 1:48:34
  your mind with the things that are true, the things that are
• 1:48:37
  honest, the things that are just give it to us, please.
• 1:48:40
  Philippians chapter 4, I believe finally, brethren, whatsoever
• 1:48:43
  things. Are.
• 1:48:45
  Honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are
• 1:48:50
  pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of
• 1:48:53
  a good report. If there be any virtue, if there
• 1:48:56
  be any praise, Koinonia, think on these things, think on these
• 1:49:03
  things, think on these things. I will not act like I'm not
• 1:49:08
  living in a world with all kinds of problems, but I will not
• 1:49:10
  meditate on it. My meditation is my contribution
• 1:49:14
  to making that thing a reality in my life, and I reject it.
• 1:49:18
  The name of Jesus. I sympathize with our world.
• 1:49:21
  I sympathize with our nation, globally speaking, from an
• 1:49:24
  economic standpoint, things are not.
• 1:49:26
  Things are shaking up and down. But I will cry like a
• 1:49:29
  responsible citizen. But from a personal standpoint,
• 1:49:33
  minus me, No, minus me, minus me.
• 1:49:36
  In the name of Jesus. Are we together now?
• 1:49:45
  I believe it all. Your name is the highest.
• 1:49:51
  Your name is the greatest. Your name stands above them all.
• 1:49:58
  Your name is the highest. Your name is the greatest.
• 1:50:07
  Your name. Listen, you're going to sing
• 1:50:14
  this song one more time. You are not singing it to me.
• 1:50:17
  Sing it to the thoughts in your mind.
• 1:50:19
  The rent issue, the issue of bills.
• 1:50:22
  Sing it that there is a name. Come on.
• 1:50:24
  Higher than any newspaper. Doesn't matter what I've read.
• 1:50:27
  I thank God for the statistics. I thank God for all the
• 1:50:31
  decimals. I thank God for the GDP
• 1:50:33
  information. I thank God for the financial
• 1:50:36
  information. I thank God for all of those
• 1:50:38
  depressing information. But there is a name.
• 1:50:41
  The Bible says the name of the Lord is a strong tower.
• 1:50:45
  The righteous run into it and they are safe.
• 1:50:48
  Can we sing it one time? Your name.
• 1:50:59
  Your name, your name. Your name is your name is your
• 1:51:21
  name is your name. When your mind says be real,
• 1:51:35
  tell it my reality is that I'm together with Christ.
• 1:51:40
  If be real means remove this Jesus thing and use your brain,
• 1:51:44
  you wasted your time. There is no separating me and
• 1:51:47
  him. Are we together now?
• 1:51:52
  Any thinking that demands me removing Jesus before I.
• 1:51:56
  Think it I cast. It out of my mind.
• 1:51:59
  If Jesus has to be out of that thinking, then I'm not
• 1:52:03
  interested whether it's a business thinking, whether it's
• 1:52:06
  an intellectual thinking, if it demands me disrespecting the
• 1:52:10
  world to believe it. I'm not interested.
• 1:52:14
  I'm not interested, Sir. I'm not interested, Sir.
• 1:52:18
  When I read the statistics. That economically the nations
• 1:52:22
  are going down. I can't live in denial.
• 1:52:24
  It's a fact. But there is a reality that
• 1:52:27
  superimposes it. If I read that ministries don't
• 1:52:30
  last. After 10 years, they go down.
• 1:52:33
  I don't know who created that graph.
• 1:52:35
  I respect the historians and the archaeologists and all of that,
• 1:52:39
  but I read in my Bible that everything the Lord does endures
• 1:52:42
  forever and that the path of the just is as a shining light.
• 1:52:46
  I know there's the law of seasons, but I also know men can
• 1:52:49
  be carried on the wings of the Spirit.
• 1:52:52
  Whose report will you believe? I ask you again, whose report
• 1:52:57
  will you believe? Over your job, Over your
• 1:53:01
  children, over your family? Colonial global, young man
• 1:53:05
  without a job, young lady without marriage, Whose report
• 1:53:08
  will you believe? Whose report will you believe?
• 1:53:13
  Can I tell you this? There is no physical Goshen
• 1:53:17
  anywhere. Goshen is a reality that is
• 1:53:20
  created by your mentality. Civilization can provide an
• 1:53:28
  advantage in terms of a reasonable way people think and
• 1:53:32
  live, but the world is marred with prejudices and biases
• 1:53:35
  anywhere. The East, the West, whatever it.
• 1:53:38
  Is above all Thrones and dominions your name.
• 1:53:53
  Stands above all. Your name,
• 1:54:11
  if anybody says over my dead body to help you, the person
• 1:54:15
  just announced to you that he's not part of the equation of your
• 1:54:18
  life. Don't waste your time.
• 1:54:21
  I don't need your dead body. There is already another dead
• 1:54:23
  body that resurrected. What do I do with your dead
• 1:54:26
  body? No, I don't need 2 dead bodies
• 1:54:30
  in my life. One is enough.
• 1:54:32
  Jesus already died. Are we together?
• 1:54:38
  Listen, let me tell you this, don't hate on people, but guard
• 1:54:43
  your mentality. Our world is an arrogant world
• 1:54:47
  full of arrogant people. Even in the midst of nothing,
• 1:54:51
  they will bully you into an inferiority mentality.
• 1:54:55
  Are we together? Let nobody respect people, but
• 1:54:59
  don't let nobody look down on you.
• 1:55:02
  Just because we are called to be kind and nice does not mean we
• 1:55:04
  are called to be stupid. Are we together?
• 1:55:07
  Yes. We respect authority, respect
• 1:55:10
  everybody, not at the detriment of your convictions.
• 1:55:13
  No. If you are calling failures,
• 1:55:17
  don't mention my name. If you mention my name, you
• 1:55:20
  invited me into the issue and don't you say it's not my
• 1:55:23
  business. Hallelujah, The Bible says in
• 1:55:31
  famine you will laugh. Do you believe that He didn't
• 1:55:35
  say you will laugh if you have a job.
• 1:55:37
  He didn't say if you laugh if you are paid your rent.
• 1:55:40
  He said you will laugh. Listen, I have taught you we
• 1:55:42
  don't endorse laziness, but don't ignore the spiritual
• 1:55:46
  advantage the believer has. If you ignore the Holy Spirit
• 1:55:50
  and ignore the Word of God and the consequent provisions by
• 1:55:54
  reason of being in Christ, what then makes you supernatural?
• 1:56:01
  Are we together? Your mentality?
• 1:56:07
  I'm telling you with every sense of humility, there are things I
• 1:56:10
  cannot believe about myself. It's not that I'm trying to
• 1:56:13
  remove it. I can't believe it.
• 1:56:14
  For instance, I know that everybody cannot hate me.
• 1:56:19
  All I need is one person who likes me.
• 1:56:22
  And I know it's not unusual for anybody to hate me because they
• 1:56:26
  hate Jesus and they hate Satan. Anybody in between.
• 1:56:28
  At least one person, even Satan, has people who love him.
• 1:56:32
  Terrorists have wives. They have people who decided to
• 1:56:35
  spend the rest of their life with a terrorist.
• 1:56:37
  You can't be hated by everybody. So when Satan says everybody
• 1:56:41
  hates you, say, hey, I've been taught well, there is a helper
• 1:56:44
  somewhere. Somebody, somewhere loves me
• 1:56:47
  enough to invest their credibility.
• 1:56:51
  Listen, learn to short the voice of the devil.
• 1:56:55
  Don't let him have the last say in your life.
• 1:56:57
  He tells you you will be a failure.
• 1:56:59
  Tell him at least I have hope. You are already a failure.
• 1:57:04
  You there's no opportunity for mercy.
• 1:57:06
  At least I can call on to God. Who will you call?
• 1:57:13
  When Satan tells you I know the way, ask him by what experience
• 1:57:17
  results you cannot produce in your own life.
• 1:57:23
  Are we together? There are things I believe no
• 1:57:27
  man would take my life before my time.
• 1:57:29
  I believe this is is not out of here.
• 1:57:32
  It's a central reality. You know how many charms and how
• 1:57:38
  many of these demonic things I've held in my life?
• 1:57:40
  If I were lying by now we would have shown.
• 1:57:46
  Are we together now? Many years ago.
• 1:57:52
  People bring all these charms and they are don't touch it.
• 1:57:54
  They have you touch it without this.
• 1:57:56
  After 24 hours, me go and ask you, how about this?
• 1:58:10
  I'm trying to get you to be angry.
• 1:58:12
  You want peace in this life. I'm sorry to tell you, peace is
• 1:58:16
  warfare. Did you hear what I said?
• 1:58:20
  Does any military man? The price for peace is war.
• 1:58:24
  Write it down. No, but you don't get peace.
• 1:58:30
  The price for peace is war in this case.
• 1:58:33
  Is your mental that warfare? Satan brings thoughts?
• 1:58:39
  You see how your father died? You are approaching 15.
• 1:58:42
  Remember, he died and you say, well, I respect the fact that
• 1:58:45
  he's gone, but he did not know what I know.
• 1:58:47
  Now I have a covenant of life and it doesn't matter whether
• 1:58:51
  the spirit is coming from the East.
• 1:58:53
  And then Satan manipulates you. You go to bed and see yourself
• 1:58:57
  inside the coffin. What do you do when you come
• 1:59:00
  out? You close the coffin by faith.
• 1:59:04
  What am I doing inside the coffin?
• 1:59:07
  I have Sound of Revival UK and US Canada coffin.
• 1:59:20
  So you see, some of you are afraid.
• 1:59:21
  Don't talk too much. Let the redeemed of the Lord say
• 1:59:24
  so. Say so.
• 1:59:26
  Hallelujah, Say so. Say so.
• 1:59:33
  Every high thing must come down every.
• 1:59:37
  Stronghold shall be broken. You ever think this?
• 1:59:38
  Ground be over every night they must come down.
• 1:59:49
  Every song or shall we go there? You ever think this crowd, You
• 1:59:52
  are the God, You are the God. Every night they must come down
• 2:00:01
  and someone shall be go there. You ever think this God?
• 2:00:04
  You are the God. You are the God.
• 2:00:12
  If you're a man of God here, let me tell you the truth.
• 2:00:15
  The ministry will not walk because you want it to walk.
• 2:00:17
  You force it to walk. You force it to walk.
• 2:00:22
  You force it to walk. Where are the people who listen
• 2:00:25
  to you? Gideon blew a trumpet and 33,000
• 2:00:30
  people showed up for every trumpet.
• 2:00:33
  If it's God that gave you. There are the people designed to
• 2:00:36
  hear it. And so, as a man of God, you
• 2:00:39
  stand prophetically and sound the chauffeur in your room.
• 2:00:42
  Where are those who are ordained to hear that sound?
• 2:00:45
  May they come out from the east and the West, from the north.
• 2:00:48
  You are a businessman. You can sound your trumpet too.
• 2:00:51
  Where are the people are dead? To see that this business does
• 2:00:55
  not die, Spiritualize your mentality.
• 2:01:02
  Don't carry a victim mentality. No Sir, No Sir.
• 2:01:06
  Listen. Listen, if you're in a board
• 2:01:09
  meeting and they're discussing something Antichrist, I'm not
• 2:01:12
  saying. You should.
• 2:01:13
  Confront them. That's not wisdom.
• 2:01:14
  You don't get up and say, are you no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 2:01:17
  no, no, no, no. You respect everything.
• 2:01:20
  But by the time you go back. Say in the name of Jesus, on
• 2:01:24
  behalf of this company, Lord, I stand there as the ark of God in
• 2:01:28
  the House of Obed Adam because of my presence, these
• 2:01:31
  statistics. I respect it, but it will not
• 2:01:34
  stand. I superimpose it by the wisdom
• 2:01:37
  and the favor of God. I have resources.
• 2:01:40
  I'm not helpless. Listen, don't think I'm just
• 2:01:46
  saying this because I'm preaching.
• 2:01:48
  This is. How I live by the message of
• 2:01:53
  God. I've proven this thing.
• 2:01:54
  I'm saying, oh, so I'm not just picking empty noise.
• 2:01:59
  There is an energy that the strength of your conviction
• 2:02:02
  exuse. It attracts those obtained by
• 2:02:05
  God to support that conviction. If you do not have a winner's
• 2:02:09
  mentality, only losers and and negative situations will come to
• 2:02:14
  you. In my world, there is only
• 2:02:16
  victory. It doesn't matter how the
• 2:02:18
  equation is Introduce God. I can fail alone, but me and God
• 2:02:23
  cannot fail together. No Sir, not in ministry, not in
• 2:02:27
  life. Say I reject failure.
• 2:02:30
  Say I'm a winner. Say I'm victorious against that.
• 2:02:34
  Reject failure. I'm not asking you if you have
• 2:02:37
  gotten a job. Say I refuse.
• 2:02:39
  To fail? Yes, Sir.
• 2:02:43
  And let me tell you this, if anyone has prophesied failure to
• 2:02:46
  you, whether is your father sincerely so, whether is your
• 2:02:49
  mother, Thank God. Today's Father's Day.
• 2:02:51
  I stand by the privilege of this office and I declare where they
• 2:02:55
  have said you go down, I prophecy rise up.
• 2:02:59
  Where they have said you go down, I prophecy rise up.
• 2:03:03
  Where they have said for you, there is a casting doubt.
• 2:03:06
  Hear it from me. There will be a lifting up.
• 2:03:08
  In the name of Jesus, please be seated. #1 total surrender to
• 2:03:22
  the Lordship of Jesus #2 obedience were teaching on the
• 2:03:27
  covenant of peace #3 meditation on God's word.
• 2:03:32
  Why? To build your conviction, to
• 2:03:35
  deepen your understanding, to structure your mentality until
• 2:03:39
  you have the mindset of a winner.
• 2:03:41
  Listen to messages. Sometimes you can plug it and
• 2:03:44
  just put it low and lie down and let it just saturate your
• 2:03:48
  atmosphere subliminally. You see, we teach in psychology
• 2:03:53
  that the purpose of assimilating information is just not is not
• 2:03:57
  just for conscious awareness, it's also to transport that
• 2:04:00
  reality so that it becomes domiciled in your subconscious.
• 2:04:04
  It's a fact. You will attract the material
• 2:04:09
  equivalent of that which is consistent with your most
• 2:04:12
  dominant thoughts. It's true.
• 2:04:15
  Don't ask where the people will come from, Let them appear in
• 2:04:19
  your mind. Anything that is built in your
• 2:04:21
  mind cannot be undone. Again, it's like a cancer.
• 2:04:24
  It can't stop. Dream with God, carry your Bible
• 2:04:31
  and create pictures out of it. Dream a life of honor and
• 2:04:35
  dignity regardless what happened to your family.
• 2:04:38
  I have a covenant of peace. I may not have a job now, I may
• 2:04:41
  be an orphan, I may be a widow, but I'm not without help.
• 2:04:45
  Step by step, line up online. I'm in partnership with the
• 2:04:49
  Spirit of God. His peace is coming through His
• 2:04:51
  word. It's beauty Garrison around my
• 2:04:53
  mind. I refuse to fear things will
• 2:04:56
  change. I know they will change.
• 2:05:04
  Hallelujah, verse 4 #4 What is the fourth key?
• 2:05:11
  Very quickly, a life of prayer. The 4th key.
• 2:05:15
  If you want to step into a the covenant of peace, you cannot be
• 2:05:22
  an occasional prayer person. Prayer must be a lifestyle.
• 2:05:28
  Your name is a light. Now listen ladies and gentlemen,
• 2:06:22
  the life of prayer is responsible for spiritual growth
• 2:06:26
  and stability. When you become a man of prayer
• 2:06:30
  as a culture, there are certain fears and worries that no longer
• 2:06:34
  can hold on to you. I'm telling you, prayer does
• 2:06:38
  something only prayer can explain.
• 2:06:41
  Samana Qatar. Day by day, week in, week out,
• 2:06:45
  you are making spiritual investments.
• 2:06:48
  A time will come you will not fear some fears again.
• 2:06:51
  And the reason why you cannot fear, you can't explain.
• 2:06:54
  Prayer has upgraded you, is giving you capacity.
• 2:06:57
  Some fears cannot hold you again.
• 2:07:02
  Most people who are very fearful are usually not prayerful.
• 2:07:06
  They're not prayerful. They're not prayerful.
• 2:07:12
  They're not prayerful. The fear of anything, the
• 2:07:16
  anxious for nothing, the Bible says, but in everything,
• 2:07:20
  everything by prayer and supplication, with Thanksgiving,
• 2:07:23
  it says, Let your request be made known unto God.
• 2:07:27
  The Bible tells us in many, many instances in Scripture to pray.
• 2:07:32
  I've taught you the value of prayer and the four major
• 2:07:35
  assignments of prayer, among others.
• 2:07:38
  Number one, that the first assignment of prayer is for your
• 2:07:41
  growth, your transformation, your edification.
• 2:07:45
  Luke 929. And as he prayed, the fashion of
• 2:07:49
  his countenance was altered, and his Raymond became white and
• 2:07:54
  glittering. The primary assignment of prayer
• 2:07:57
  is not to receive kings, is to change the person praying, to
• 2:08:01
  mold you like a reptile into a version that become dexterous
• 2:08:05
  and powerful. Don't say I'm not in the prayer
• 2:08:10
  department, I'm not in prayer band.
• 2:08:13
  I would not pray, no Sir. He speak a parable Luke 18 one
• 2:08:17
  to the end that men ought always to pray and not to faint.
• 2:08:21
  First Thessalonians 517 pray evermore pray without seizing
• 2:08:27
  the fervent effectual prayer, James 5 tells.
• 2:08:30
  US. Of the righteous availed much
• 2:08:33
  amplified says it is It produces tremendous power that is dynamic
• 2:08:38
  in its working. What things so ever ye desire
• 2:08:45
  when ye pray, Mark 1124. Believe that thou receivers
• 2:08:50
  them, and thou shall have them. You must obtain grace to pray.
• 2:08:58
  The major assignment of prayer is to build the individual to a
• 2:09:03
  realm where fear cannot hold you, to a realm where worries
• 2:09:07
  cannot hold you. There is a way.
• 2:09:09
  You are full of His presence, courtesy of prayer life, and you
• 2:09:12
  find out that certain doubts and certain fears no longer have

  power. The thing that would have made
• 2:09:17
  you worry yesterday, although it has not yet been solved, you can
• 2:09:21
  look at it and laugh #2I taught you that prayer.
• 2:09:27
  It is a tool for obtaining requests.
• 2:09:31
  Philippians 4 and verse 6. To make your request known, the
• 2:09:34
  Bible demands make your request known.
• 2:09:37
  Numbers 1428. Numbers 1428.
• 2:09:43
  As I have heard you speak in my ears, so will I do unto you.
• 2:09:51
  What is the third assignment of prayer to make?
• 2:09:54
  Failed fateful decrease. Isaiah 4326.
• 2:10:00
  Faith filled decrees. The assignment of prayer.
• 2:10:04
  He said, put me in remembrance. Let us plead together.
• 2:10:08
  Declare thou that thou mightest be justified, for by your words
• 2:10:14
  it says you are justified. By your words you are condemned.
• 2:10:18
  The 4th and final assignment of prayers for warfare and
• 2:10:20
  intercession. Warfare and intercession The
• 2:10:26
  Bible in Matthew chapter 26 and verse 41 tells us to watch and
• 2:10:30
  pray, to watch and pray. To watch and pray that he do not
• 2:10:35
  enter into temptation. There are certain temptations
• 2:10:38
  that will lead to loss and fear. They are remedied by prayer.
• 2:10:42
  The reason is because there is a weakness in the flesh of every
• 2:10:45
  man, even though the Spirit is willing, and the way you deal
• 2:10:49
  with that weakness of the flesh that will push you until you
• 2:10:52
  into a lot of troubles that takes away your peace, is to
• 2:10:56
  pray. He knows that ordinarily you can
• 2:10:59
  easily be deceived by any business idea.
• 2:11:02
  Then he says pray, pray. Prayer is like it.
• 2:11:05
  It distills your life, it takes, it, purifies your life #5 let's
• 2:11:15
  hurry up. What is the fifth key?
• 2:11:18
  I hope someone is learning you want to enter into the covenant
• 2:11:22
  of peace. Shalom.
• 2:11:23
  Nothing missing, nothing broken, wholeness, completeness, rest
• 2:11:28
  round about the fifth key. We practiced that last week, but
• 2:11:32
  here it comes again. Thanksgiving Colossians 267
• 2:11:38
  Thanksgiving it says, as ye have therefore received Christ the
• 2:11:44
  Lord, so walk ye in him. Verse 7 Rooted and built up in
• 2:11:49
  him, and established in the faith, as he have been taught,
• 2:11:53
  he says abounding therein with Thanksgiving.
• 2:12:02
  Thanksgiving First Thessalonians 518 It says in everything give
• 2:12:09
  thanks for your state of Thanksgiving is the will of God
• 2:12:13
  in Christ concerning you, that in every matter knowing that God
• 2:12:17
  has gone ahead of you, you give thanks.
• 2:12:19
  Colossians 4 and verse 2 Thanksgiving it says continue in
• 2:12:24
  prayer. Then it says watch thee in the
• 2:12:27
  same with the same attitude, the same zest and zeal you give
• 2:12:31
  prayer that is the same zest and zeal you give Thanksgiving.
• 2:12:34
  Someone said thank you, Jesus. Let me tell you what you thank
• 2:12:37
  Him for. You thank God for three things.
• 2:12:39
  One, the things he's done yesterday you bring forth, You
• 2:12:43
  draw from your archives of his goodness of yesterday, yester
• 2:12:47
  months, yesteryears, and you lift up quality things #2 you
• 2:12:51
  thank Him for what you believe you He's doing now.
• 2:12:55
  Even if you've not seen the rain for as long as you've seen the
• 2:12:57
  cloud, like the feast of a man's hand, is proof that rain will
• 2:13:01
  come. Don't wait till it manifests
• 2:13:03
  fully. Thank Him.
• 2:13:07
  Are we together? You've not gotten the visa, but
• 2:13:10
  they sent you an e-mail. Thank Him and then you thank God
• 2:13:15
  as an act of faith, knowing that you are thanking Him for
• 2:13:19
  tomorrow. Live a life of Thanksgiving all
• 2:13:26
  through this year. Live a life of Thanksgiving.
• 2:13:29
  There are 1001 reasons to be angry with God, offended with
• 2:13:33
  God, offended with church, offended with everything around
• 2:13:36
  you. But if you can just look back
• 2:13:39
  and say, Lord, I thank you, Lord, I thank you.
• 2:13:41
  Someone said thank you Jesus. You said it last week.
• 2:13:44
  Repeat it again this week. Say thank you Jesus.
• 2:13:47
  Now turn it into a prayer for one minute.
• 2:13:49
  Thank you for yesterday You kept me.
• 2:13:52
  Thank you for your love. You kept me.
• 2:13:55
  Thank you for giving me a great ministry.
• 2:13:58
  Thank you. Thank him for your wife, thank
• 2:14:00
  him for your husband. Those outside, are you thanking
• 2:14:03
  him online? Are you thanking him?
• 2:14:05
  You're declaring your gratitude to the King of Kings.
• 2:14:08
  It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
• 2:14:11
  Because His compassion they fail not.
• 2:14:21
  Thank him for life. A dead man does not have worries
• 2:14:25
  in this life. Again, the reason why you are
• 2:14:28
  even hopeful is because you are alive.
• 2:14:30
  Take a minute to tell him thank you those online.
• 2:14:32
  We are a grateful family. Join us as we thank the King of
• 2:14:35
  Kings, the one who shows mercy to the sons of man, who will not
• 2:14:40
  allow the desire of your enemy to be executed upon your life,
• 2:14:44
  who bridges the gap between your yesterday and tomorrow.
• 2:14:47
  By His mercy, He can overturn and overrule and override any
• 2:14:51
  verdict for your. Sake, thank you for your
• 2:14:56
  children. How about your job?
• 2:14:58
  How about your finances? You're not there, but you're not
• 2:15:02
  where you started. Acknowledge His mercy for one
• 2:15:04
  minute in Jesus name. We pray every time you get up in
• 2:15:18
  the morning. Among the many healthy rituals
• 2:15:22
  that I pray becomes a stronghold in your mind is the attitude of
• 2:15:27
  conscious gratitude. Conscious gratitude.
• 2:15:31
  You get up in the morning and you don't just say it in
• 2:15:33
  passing, you say father. Thank you.
• 2:15:36
  Not just because of this day. Many slept like I did but could
• 2:15:41
  not wake up. I want to say thank you.
• 2:15:43
  Thank you because I have a job now.
• 2:15:45
  I will take my bath and rush for walk.
• 2:15:47
  Thank you. Thank you that I have healthy
• 2:15:49
  children who can come and greet me.
• 2:15:51
  Thank you because I am part of a family that serves God.
• 2:15:56
  Thank you for my wife. Thank you for my husband.
• 2:15:59
  Thank you for my boss and the devil is telling you, you mean
• 2:16:03
  that nasty man too. Thank you, Jesus.
• 2:16:05
  Thank you that I have a job that someone can pay me a salary.
• 2:16:09
  Thank you for my business. Thank you for everything.
• 2:16:12
  Thank you for calling on you. Thank you for your department.
• 2:16:15
  Thank you for Joshua Selman. Thank you for everything you see
• 2:16:18
  and you get up. Father.
• 2:16:19
  Thank you because I know that this day is blessed.
• 2:16:22
  Listen to my teaching effective prayer dynamics.
• 2:16:26
  I teach there on the various ways to pray. 1 of it is the
• 2:16:30
  prayer of Thanksgiving effective prayer dynamics, effective
• 2:16:36
  prayer dynamics. You may also want to add it to
• 2:16:39
  the teaching that I I did here last week.
• 2:16:41
  I think when men pray, when men pray, add those two teachings
• 2:16:47
  and it will buttress on what I just told you.
• 2:16:49
  But the summary of this, ladies and gentlemen, the one who is
• 2:16:53
  prayerful is the one who is negotiating your path to peace
• 2:16:58
  and wholeness. Prayer solves a lot of spiritual
• 2:17:01
  problems. Prayer grants access to God by
• 2:17:05
  his Spirit and angels to manipulate the hearts of men
• 2:17:08
  favorably such that wars become ended, such that certain you see
• 2:17:13
  intercession. The intercessory part of prayer
• 2:17:16
  is. Very powerful.
• 2:17:17
  Let me show you something in Isaiah chapter 14, I believe and
• 2:17:20
  verse one. We'll still look at that again,
• 2:17:22
  Isaiah 14 and verse 1 was. When you visit that in fact 40
• 2:17:27
  and verse one, it says comfort you comfort you my people say at
• 2:17:31
  your God. Verse 2 it says speak
• 2:17:33
  comfortably to Jerusalem and cry unto her that how warfare is
• 2:17:38
  accomplished. There are battles that if you
• 2:17:41
  know how to thank God for, you are simply announcing because
• 2:17:44
  you see, Thanksgiving is at the end of victory, am I right?
• 2:17:49
  So when you begin to celebrate God, what you are saying is that
• 2:17:52
  trouble, I have forced it to come to an end.
• 2:17:54
  Are we together now? Thanksgiving is you announcing
• 2:17:58
  that there's no more. I've come down from the ring.
• 2:18:00
  I'm not fighting anything again. The battle is over and I'm
• 2:18:04
  victorious. Number six, let me give you the
• 2:18:09
  6th key, the covenant of peace. We're exploring that word
• 2:18:15
  Shalom. The sixth way we activate the
• 2:18:20
  covenant of peace is by prophetic blessings.
• 2:18:23
  And now I need your attention. You're about to receive
• 2:18:26
  something like rain tonight by prophetic blessings.
• 2:18:32
  Numbers chapter 6 from verse 22 to 27.
• 2:18:37
  The prophetic can activate and can release into the life of a
• 2:18:43
  man. Rest round about.
• 2:18:47
  And the Lord speak unto Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron, and
• 2:18:53
  unto his son, saying, On this wise shall ye bless the children
• 2:18:58
  of Israel, saying unto them, The Lord bless thee, and keep thee.
• 2:19:06
  The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto
• 2:19:12
  you. The Lord lift up his countenance
• 2:19:15
  upon you final sentence, and give thee peace.
• 2:19:21
  How does it end and give thee peace?
• 2:19:26
  27 He says, And they shall put my name by those declarations on
• 2:19:31
  the children of Israel, and indeed, and in experience I will
• 2:19:36
  bless them. Someone say I'm blessed.
• 2:19:39
  I'm going to be speaking that blessing verbatim over your life
• 2:19:43
  before the service is ended. Psalms 85 and verse 885 and
• 2:19:51
  verse 8. He says I will hear what the
• 2:19:54
  Lord will speak, ladies and gentlemen, for He will speak
• 2:19:59
  peace. Peace can be spoken into a
• 2:20:02
  person's life. Peace.
• 2:20:05
  You know what that means? Prosperity, health, greatness,
• 2:20:09
  glory. I'm not just talking of
• 2:20:11
  restfulness. That means the prophetic can
• 2:20:13
  come and say, hey, this trouble around your life, let it end
• 2:20:17
  now. Am I prophesying to someone
• 2:20:20
  already that this mountain around your life, this is the
• 2:20:23
  prophetic, the power of prophetic blessings.
• 2:20:27
  It can end wars. Prophetic words can negotiate A
• 2:20:32
  stake for you in the realm of the peaceful.
• 2:20:35
  You can speak peace. You can speak peace that this
• 2:20:40
  turbulence that is 100 years old over your family, your
• 2:20:44
  grandfather fought it, grandmother fought it, the
• 2:20:47
  prophetic and come energized by the spirit and he can say thus
• 2:20:51
  far have you come no further? Shall you go?
• 2:20:55
  How about the spirit of poverty? Are we together?
• 2:20:57
  You've done the best you know you are diligent.
• 2:21:00
  You are hard working, but there are all kinds of spirits that
• 2:21:03
  the only way you will eat is by begging in the name of Jesus.
• 2:21:06
  The prophetic can tell it to come to an end and force your
• 2:21:10
  mind to be productive and force your hand to be productive and
• 2:21:14
  force your feet to find direction.
• 2:21:20
  Peace. Can I tell you this?
• 2:21:24
  This is a dimension I've seen in the life of our fathers of faith
• 2:21:26
  in this nation. They have shown us how to use
• 2:21:29
  the prophetic to program peace over the life of a man and to
• 2:21:34
  program and rest round about. I don't want to remind you of
• 2:21:40
  stories I've shared with you before.
• 2:21:42
  The powder prophetic landed at various quarters from various
• 2:21:46
  people in my life and it's sponsored various levels of
• 2:21:50
  peace. Various levels of peace.
• 2:21:55
  Hallelujah. Various levels of peace.
• 2:21:59
  God can use men prophetic voices to speak peace.
• 2:22:03
  Now you know what I mean by peace.
• 2:22:05
  For some, peace means prosperity.
• 2:22:07
  For some means peace means the wholeness your body.
• 2:22:10
  For some, peace means rest roundabout.
• 2:22:13
  For some, peace means you will never cry again.
• 2:22:15
  There's no reason for it. The prophetic can speak peace in
• 2:22:19
  addition to your total surrender, in addition to your
• 2:22:22
  obedience, in addition to your meditation upon the word of God,
• 2:22:26
  in addition to your being prayerful, in addition to your
• 2:22:29
  being thankful, living a life of gratitude.
• 2:22:32
  You need a prophetic proclamation of peace.
• 2:22:38
  Genesis chapter 1 and verse 28. He blessed them by saying.
• 2:22:44
  He blessed them and said unto them, The way we bless is by
• 2:22:49
  saying. The way we bless is by
• 2:22:52
  proclaiming it. I have a teaching on that.
• 2:23:00
  Tonight. I've been commanded to bless and
• 2:23:03
  in the name of Jesus Christ, as we rain down these blessings,
• 2:23:07
  Hallelujah, I feel stirred in my spirit.
• 2:23:12
  Before we speak over your life, perhaps I would just invite God
• 2:23:17
  servant Dr. Lumiere Manuel. Just give him one minute to just
• 2:23:21
  pick a blessing from his heart, just to proclaim a blessing over
• 2:23:25
  someone. And then we'll continue, Sir.
• 2:23:28
  Let's let's rise and honor him as he comes and speak a blessing
• 2:23:34
  as God has placed it in your heart, Sir, just to speak a
• 2:23:37
  blessing, Reverend, a killer, please come when he's gone, we
• 2:23:40
  speak a blessing and let's just maximize this anointing in this
• 2:23:52
  place tonight and speak. Every problem has an expiry
• 2:24:04
  date. I declare and I decree.
• 2:24:07
  Today that problem expires. The Egyptian you have seen up
• 2:24:15
  till today, you see them no more forever.
• 2:24:22
  Every negative situation in your life came through the devil, but
• 2:24:26
  there was a God before there was a devil, so it means that your
• 2:24:29
  solution is senior to your problem.
• 2:24:32
  Therefore, in the name that is above every name will declare
• 2:24:36
  every problem, every challenge swallowed up.
• 2:24:39
  Tonight, as you leave this place, you will sing a new song.
• 2:24:46
  The rest of this year will be the best of the year.
• 2:24:51
  You will never know a better yesterday.
• 2:24:55
  The rest of this year will be bigger, brighter and better.
• 2:24:59
  You will finish well and you will finish strong.
• 2:25:04
  So shall it be. In the name of Jesus, bless,
• 2:25:10
  honor him. God bless.
• 2:25:13
  You. Just lift your hands wherever
• 2:25:20
  you are, like rain. May the peace of God that
• 2:25:27
  surpasses all understanding keep you and your mind still.
• 2:25:35
  We command today. Peace be still over your family.
• 2:25:42
  Peace be still over your business.
• 2:25:46
  Peace be still over your assignment.
• 2:25:49
  Peace be still. Hallelujah, Let's honor them as
• 2:25:55
  they go. Everyone, in one minute I'd like
• 2:25:58
  you to begin to pray for the grace to practice these keys
• 2:26:02
  that have been given. Lift your voice and begin to
• 2:26:05
  pray. Everybody.
• 2:26:06
  Shalika Pranta Caparado, separate de Bele on the strength
• 2:26:10
  of the prophetic word that has come.
• 2:26:12
  Go ahead and begin to pray Father Grace to be totally
• 2:26:16
  surrendered. Someone who is still struggling
• 2:26:19
  with God. Someone who is still struggling
• 2:26:21
  with the ways of God. Someone who is still yet to take
• 2:26:24
  Jesus seriously. There is your chance to pray
• 2:26:28
  chabrateke parakata, a life of total surrender to the Lordship
• 2:26:33
  of Jesus, Loving him more than money, loving him more than
• 2:26:37
  titles, loving Him more than career, more than destiny.
• 2:26:41
  Not just using him to fulfill your loss, but being ever
• 2:26:45
  surrendered, devoted, trusting, loving, serving.
• 2:26:52
  Obtain grace for obedience. Go ahead.
• 2:26:55
  The grace to be obedient in the name of Jesus.
• 2:26:59
  The grace to be obedient to the speakings of the Word.
• 2:27:04
  Grace to be obedient to work in keeping with the promises that
• 2:27:09
  commit God's integrity to perform.
• 2:27:14
  Pray for grace to meditate upon the Word of God.
• 2:27:18
  This book of the law shall not depart from out of thy mouth,
• 2:27:21
  but thou shall meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest
• 2:27:26
  observe to to all that is written therein.
• 2:27:29
  Then shall you make your ways prosperous, and you shall have
• 2:27:33
  good success. Someone is praying grace to
• 2:27:37
  exalt the Word of God. More than any news, more than
• 2:27:41
  any report, more than any statistics.
• 2:27:45
  Now obtain grace, the spirit of prayer and supplication, the
• 2:27:49
  grace to pray as a culture, the grace to pray as a lifetime.
• 2:27:55
  Not up to date, down tomorrow, not on fire today and quenched
• 2:27:59
  tomorrow, not up to day and going down tomorrow.
• 2:28:03
  Ever fervent, ever on fire that your tangle burns, burns with
• 2:28:08
  fire. Decree and declare the grace to
• 2:28:14
  remain grateful, to remain thankful, ever conscious of the
• 2:28:18
  goodness of God, regardless what's happened or not happened,
• 2:28:22
  ever grateful, ever thankful. Now I'd like you to receive
• 2:28:28
  grace to receive the prophetic word, grace to receive prophetic
• 2:28:33
  blessings. Hallelujah, praise the Lord now
• 2:28:44
  keep standing. I told you I was going to wrap
• 2:28:47
  up with a special word. God place this in the place of
• 2:28:50
  prayer. This is a special word for those
• 2:28:54
  who are going through storms in explanable solution situations
• 2:28:59
  and perhaps those who may have had loved ones who crashed.
• 2:29:03
  Sadly, the recent sad air crash or any other tragic situation
• 2:29:10
  for that matter, The Bible says in Second Corinthians chapter 48
• 2:29:15
  and 9, 2nd Corinthians 48 and 9, it says we are troubled on every
• 2:29:21
  side, yet we are not distressed. We are perplexed, but we are not
• 2:29:27
  in despair. It says we are persecuted but we
• 2:29:30
  are not forsaken. We are cast down but not
• 2:29:34
  destroyed. In Habakkuk chapter 3 from verse
• 2:29:37
  17 to 19. Here's the word God gave me to
• 2:29:40
  give someone I don't know who and for what reason.
• 2:29:44
  For the Lord instructed that I wrap up this discussion on peace
• 2:29:48
  by giving you this prophetic word.
• 2:29:51
  Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be
• 2:29:55
  in the vine. The labor of the olive shall
• 2:29:58
  fail, and the field shall yield no meat.
• 2:30:01
  The flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no
• 2:30:04
  herd in the stall. Here is your response.
• 2:30:07
  It says yet yet yet in the midst of the tears, in the midst of
• 2:30:14
  the pain, the believer's response is yet I will rejoice
• 2:30:18
  not in the situation in the Lord, and I will joy in the God
• 2:30:23
  of my salvation. 19 says The Lord is my strength, and he will
• 2:30:28
  make my feet like Hinds feet, and He will make me to
• 2:30:32
  eventually, even if not immediately, to walk upon my
• 2:30:36
  high places. You believe that Say Amen. 1st
• 2:30:42
  Corinthians 10 and verse 13 were done. 1st Corinthians 10 and 13.
• 2:30:48
  Here's a prophetic word for someone who is going through
• 2:30:51
  inexpanable seasons, maybe your business, maybe your life.
• 2:30:55
  You are just in a situation where you need a word.
• 2:30:58
  The Lord gave me a word for you. He says There are no temptation
• 2:31:02
  taken of you. What such as is common to man.
• 2:31:07
  Can you give us NIVI need the person who this word is for, to
• 2:31:11
  really understand what this mean?
• 2:31:13
  It says, No temptation has seized you except what is common
• 2:31:17
  to man. It says, and God is faithful, he
• 2:31:21
  will not let you to be tempted beyond what you can bear.
• 2:31:25
  But when you are tempted, listen.
• 2:31:28
  He says He will provide a way of escape so that you can stand.
• 2:31:34
  Up. On date, are we together now?
• 2:31:40
  Please listen everybody for. There's a friend named Jesus who
• 2:31:49
  would wipe your tears away, and if your heart is broken, just
• 2:31:58
  leave to your hands and say. One of the most powerful
• 2:32:26
  scriptures in the Bible for me is the statement.
• 2:32:30
  And it came to pass. No matter how long it stays, it
• 2:32:35
  comes to pass. Even after 38 years, my dear
• 2:32:40
  friend at Bethesda, it comes to pass.
• 2:32:43
  Even after 25 years, Abraham, it comes to pass.
• 2:32:48
  Job. For no matter how long you are
• 2:32:50
  in that situation, it still comes to pass.
• 2:32:55
  Joseph, I don't know how long you've been in the prison now,
• 2:32:58
  two years added to it. But I have good news.
• 2:33:01
  In the economy of the Kingdom, it comes to pass.
• 2:33:06
  Mordecai, I don't know how long you've been at the gate.
• 2:33:10
  Even though you rescued the king, saved him from dying, it
• 2:33:14
  was recorded, but you were not rewarded.
• 2:33:16
  If it's in the economy of the Kingdom, it will come to pass.
• 2:33:22
  There's no challenge that stays. It will come to pass.
• 2:33:25
  Some will pass slower than others.
• 2:33:27
  That's why he calls some water and he calls some fire.
• 2:33:31
  The effect will not be the same. But one thing you can be sure of
• 2:33:34
  is that he's with you there. Can we intercede in one minute?
• 2:33:38
  Before I speak over your life, please hold hands with someone.
• 2:33:42
  Maybe that person is going through something you may not
• 2:33:44
  understand. We are believers.
• 2:33:46
  We may intercede for the families that love their lost,
• 2:33:49
  their loved ones, and then particularly those God gave this
• 2:33:53
  word for while discussing the covenant of peace.
• 2:33:56
  Pray for someone you know in the hospital battling cancer.
• 2:34:00
  Pray for some autistic child, some parents.
• 2:34:03

• 2:34:07

  Go ahead and pray one minute. We are believers.

• 2:34:29
  your people for Your namesake arise.

  Defend your name in the lives of homes, of families, of pastors.
• 2:34:37
  Maybe a pastor is about to give up in ministry right now, in the
• 2:34:41
  name of Jesus, we decree and declare.
• 2:34:43
  Let's strength such back to you. Maybe a businessman is about to
• 2:34:47
  give up part or all his business.
• 2:34:49
  Lord, we call on to you. Go ahead and pray one minute.
• 2:35:00
  Say to those that are fearful, heart pray, do not be afraid.
• 2:35:11
  The Lord your God is from, and with His mighty hands, when you
• 2:35:18
  call on his name, are you interceding?
• 2:35:24
  He will come and save you. He will come and say you.

• 2:42:49
  before you. In 1000 generations, your
• 2:42:53
  family, your children, their children.
• 2:43:00
  Warn is presence and before you and behind you, beside you, all
• 2:43:08
  around and within you, He's with you.
• 2:43:13
  He's with you in the morning, every evening, in your coming.
• 2:43:19
  And you're going and you're weeping.
• 2:43:23
  Rejoices. He's for you.

  He's for you. Oh

  man. Jesus speaking said, Come on to
• 2:43:59
  me, all ye that are weary and those who are heavy laden, and
• 2:44:06
  he leaves you with an assurance that I will give you rest.
• 2:44:09
  There is only one person who is a custodian of this rest peace,
• 2:44:14
  The only one who is able to give men completion, wholeness, bring
• 2:44:18
  value to their lives. His name is Jesus.
• 2:44:21
  He's not an Angel, He's beyond a prophet, He's beyond an apostle,
• 2:44:24
  He's beyond a preacher. He's beyond the originator of a
• 2:44:28
  movement called Christianity. Please lend me your attention
• 2:44:31
  for the next. One minute.
• 2:44:33
  You are in this place, and from the start of this service, the
• 2:44:35
  Holy Spirit began to convict you.
• 2:44:38
  And all through the sessions of the teachings, the
• 2:44:40
  proclamations, and all that you've learned today, the Spirit
• 2:44:44
  of God began to convict you to not leave this place tonight
• 2:44:48
  without making this conscious decision to come to the peace of
• 2:44:52
  peace. You have invested your time and
• 2:44:54
  your heart to things of by far more inferior value.
• 2:44:59
  They have promised you rest. They did not deliver rest.
• 2:45:02
  I want to pray for someone wherever you are.
• 2:45:04
  I'm going to count 1 to 5, two calls in one, that this is the
• 2:45:08
  first time you are making this conscious decision for Jesus.
• 2:45:11
  Do not be afraid, do not be ashamed.
• 2:45:14
  Wherever you are, I request that you leave your seat and come
• 2:45:17
  stand before me. And for all the overflows, once
• 2:45:22
  the front is filled up, you stand at your LED screen #2
• 2:45:26
  those who are saying apostle at one point or the other.
• 2:45:29
  I remember making this decision, but I am yet to consciously make
• 2:45:34
  my ways right with Jesus. Things are not the way it should
• 2:45:37
  be. Wherever you are, as I count 1
• 2:45:40
  to 5, leave your seat and run. Come and stand right here one.
• 2:45:44
  God bless you, Koinonia. Are you celebrating them too?
• 2:45:55
  Apostle I want to come, but I'm still wondering, should I come I
• 2:45:58
  seem ashamed, I seem afraid. Come to Jesus it's like asking
• 2:46:02
  you to come and receive an award.
• 2:46:03
  It's just that this one is of eternal value. 3 for someone who
• 2:46:11
  is connected online, your home, your office, by television,
• 2:46:16
  you're following any of the viewing centers, any of the you
• 2:46:21
  know, the platforms allowing for viewing wherever you are across
• 2:46:26
  the globe. I want you to listen very
• 2:46:28
  carefully. It matters that you make Jesus
• 2:46:31
  Lord of your life, and tonight is your night.
• 2:46:34
  Now is your opportunity to not procrastinate.
• 2:46:37
  He's giving you an opportunity to make it right with Him.
• 2:46:39
  Hallelujah. Two more counts and we're done.
• 2:46:42
  Fall. I believe someone is still
• 2:46:43
  coming. Make haste and come double up.
• 2:46:47
  Double up for someone falling online.
• 2:46:50
  You cannot see me. I cannot see you.
• 2:46:52
  But Jesus sees both of us and is ready to listen to you very
• 2:46:56
  carefully and to minister eternal life to your spirit.
• 2:46:59
  Final count 5. Thank you very much.
• 2:47:02
  Let's celebrate these ones. Celebrate these ones.
• 2:47:06
  The Bible declares as many who will come to him.
• 2:47:10
  He will in no wise castaway, please look at me.
• 2:47:12
  My dear brothers and sisters, I appreciate you for the courage
• 2:47:15
  to have responded to this call. You came responding to this
• 2:47:19
  call, it was beyond the call of a man is because God called you
• 2:47:23
  here by himself. And I want to thank you for
• 2:47:25
  making this noble decision. Can I ask you to lift your right
• 2:47:28
  hand high above your head as a sign of surrender?
• 2:47:31
  Please repeat after me loud and clear, believing that Jesus is
• 2:47:34
  listening to you. Say Lord Jesus, say it again,
• 2:47:38
  say Lord Jesus tonight. I have heard your word.
• 2:47:43
  I have heard that you are the Prince of Peace.
• 2:47:47
  I need peace in my life and therefore I declare that I love
• 2:47:54
  you with all my heart. I believe you are the Son of
• 2:47:59
  God. I believe you rose again for my
• 2:48:03
  justification. Right now I receive your life
• 2:48:07
  into my spirit. I declare that the power of same
• 2:48:13
  Satan, hell and the grave it is broken over my life from
• 2:48:19
  tonight. I'm a child of God.
• 2:48:21
  I go forward ever and backward never Amen.
• 2:48:26
  Let me pray for you Father. I bless this ones with the
• 2:48:28
  blessings of heaven. They have come declaring your
• 2:48:31
  lordship over their lives and by the authority of Scripture.
• 2:48:34
  I decree and declare that from this moment they are bona fide
• 2:48:38
  recipients of the life of God. They only go forward and never
• 2:48:42
  backward upwards and never downwards.
• 2:48:45
  In Jesus matchless name we pray Amen and Amen.
• 2:48:49
  Please look to my rights. That will be your left from
• 2:48:51
  where you're standing. There are counselors who are
• 2:48:53
  available to have a word with you, to pray with you very
• 2:48:56
  quickly and then you're back to your seat.
• 2:48:58
  Let's honor them as they go. Colonia says the best you can
• 2:49:01
  do. Hallelujah, praise the name of
• 2:49:08
  the Lord. I want to say very big thank you
• 2:49:12
  to everyone, particularly Doctor Olivia de Manuel and your dear
• 2:49:15
  wife. Thank you so much for the honor
• 2:49:18
  of having you in our presence. And I want to thank every single
• 2:49:24
  person who who is participating, especially with the invites for
• 2:49:31
  Sound of Revival. Please make sure you take
• 2:49:34
  seriously the charge and the request I made I want you to
• 2:49:38
  spread this message to as many people groups as possible will
• 2:49:42
  be very encouraged and happy to see as as as much diversity of
• 2:49:47
  people groups. The goal, the sound of revival
• 2:49:50
  is not just for Africans in diaspora like I said, or just a
• 2:49:54
  few people we want the war to spread out far and wide.
• 2:49:58
  We want a heterogeneous collection of different people
• 2:50:01

• 2:50:26
  or rice and something else, but we're targeting hoping to be
• 2:50:29
  able to give between 3 to 5000 people and it's free.
• 2:50:34
  We just need people to be orderly, to be organized, send a
• 2:50:37
  message around town while spreading the love of Jesus
• 2:50:40

  He's kept us loving him. And this is a contribution not
• 2:50:45
  just to to the name of Jesus, but also to nation building.
