I Have Zoe (Part 2) with Apostle Joshua Selman (Mercy Conference 2026, Day 3 Morning Session) · Selah Media House

0:00
Good morning, everybody. Let's give Jesus a big hand
0:03
clap. Glory to glory, glory to glory.
0:09
ASA Shola, thank you, Very gracious words.
0:11
I'm honored to be here always and even now to you and your
0:15
wife, I'm grateful. Thank you for this relationship
0:18
and thank you for this great opportunity.
0:21
I also want to thank the entire leadership of this great church.
0:25
There's no church that stands on the strength of the man of God
0:28
alone. There are always people that are
0:31
lieutenants that make it happen. And I honor every leader, every
0:36
single one. Let's bless them.
0:37
Sometimes we appreciate the pastor and his wife, then we
0:40
forget the leaders. We honor you, every single one
0:43
of you, seen and unseen. And my goodness, let's bless
0:47
God. For Apostle Victoria Orenze was
0:49
such a powerful time. Hallelujah.
0:54
Praise the name of the Lord. Amen.
0:57
Would you lift your hands in one minute?
1:00
Worthy is your name, Jesus, you deserve the praise.
1:11
Worthy is your name. Worthy is your name.
1:22
Jesus, You deserve the praise. Father, we pray that you speak
1:30
to our hearts. The entrance of your word gives
1:32
light, it gives understanding onto the simple.
1:35
We submit to your wisdom. We ask that you will bless us
1:40
and be glorified in Jesus name. You may be seated.
1:43
I have the way. Part 2.
1:46
Hallelujah. Someone who is blessed already
1:50
shout Amen. So yesterday we began
1:55
consideration on the topic. I have the way from first John
2:00
chapter 511 to 13. We read that for a text again so
2:05
that we connect to what we discussed yesterday and this is
2:09
the record that God had given us eternal life and this life is in
2:14
his Son. He says he that had the Son had
2:18
life and he that had not the Son of God had not life.
2:22
Verse 13. I like this these things I have
2:25
written unto you, that you believe on the name of the Son
2:28
of God, that ye may know that you have eternal life, and that
2:33
you may believe on the name of the Son of God.
2:37
We established a few things yesterday from Jesus teachings.
2:41
We considered the Gospel of John.
2:44
John 1. The Bible says, But as many as
2:47
received him, he gave them power to become sons of God, that
2:52
these sons of God were not born of blood or the will of man, but
2:58
that they were born of God. Then when we get to John chapter
3:03
3, Nicodemus comes to Jesus by night and says, Rabbi, we know
3:08
that thou art a teacher, come from God, for no man can do
3:12
these miracles which thou doest, except God be with him.
3:16
Then Jesus initiated a very strong discussion.
3:19
He said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born
3:23
again, he uses the term birth. Except a man be born again, he
3:30
cannot see the Kingdom of God. And Nicodemus was surprised.
3:33
He said, how can a man be born again when he's already old?
3:37
Will he shrink back into a baby and enter his mother's womb?
3:40
And Jesus began to put perspective.
3:42
Inborn of the Spirit, born of water, and so on and so forth.
3:48
And so we established from yesterday's teaching that the
3:52
official way access life is true Beth, whether biologically or
3:59
spiritually. The only way we access life is
4:03
true Beth. In the case of biology
4:07
conception that leads to Beth or spiritually, there must be a
4:11
rebirth of what the Bible calls being born again.
4:15
Hallelujah. And we contrasted the two kinds
4:19
of birth that the Bible identifies, physical or
4:22
biological birth. And then we have spiritual
4:25
birth. Contrast number one, We said in
4:31
biological birth, the will of the baby does not play a role in
4:35
its arrival. Still, remember that it's
4:38
entirely the business of the father, the mother, or sometimes
4:43
both of them. There are various scenarios that
4:46
allow for the birthing of children, some positive, some
4:51
negative, but either ways, the baby does not have a role to
4:55
play in deciding to come. But that in spiritual birth or
5:00
rebirth, the opinion of the father and the mother physically
5:05
now does not really matter. It entirely depends on the one
5:09
who is born. Can you imagine that, that the
5:12
baby who desires to be reborn in Christ is the one who makes that
5:17
decision #2 We established the fact that the rebirth of being
5:24
born again is an instant experience, while biological
5:28
births, no matter how healthy a woman is, it takes a while.
5:32
Are we together #3 We established the fact that there
5:37
must be a contribution from the man and a contribution from the
5:41
woman, not necessarily the presence, but the contribution,
5:46
the seed from the man and then the woman.
5:49
So it it depends on two of them, but in spiritual birth it does
5:55
not depend on the contributions of men.
5:59
As far as your salvation experience is concerned, right
6:03
there in your room, you can make that decision and it doesn't
6:06
matter who agrees, who believes, who wants, who does not want.
6:11
Once you believe, that becomes your experience, someone
6:16
learning. I'm recapping very quickly on
6:18
yesterday's teaching. And then we said a number of
6:22
things that biological birth happens.
6:27
Validity period is called your lifetime.
6:30
From the time you are born until the time you transit is called
6:35
your lifetime. Whereas for rebirth or being
6:39
born again, you only have the date where you commence that
6:43
journey and it is an eternal experience.
6:47
Hallelujah. The Bible identifies life, life
6:57
itself as a very intricate concept and in discussing life
7:03
there are many Greeks and Greek and Hebrew words that interplay
7:08
to help to define life. But three of them have stood out
7:11
from the study of Scripture and #1 is called BIOS.
7:15
BIOS, the description of biological or plant life
7:20
generally life as we have on earth, whether plant, whether
7:24
any biological life comes under the word BIOS.
7:27
Number 2 is the word suquet, and suquet talks of solical life and
7:33
activation of your consciousness, your will, your
7:37
emotion, your intellect. And then #3 which is a point of
7:43
consideration is the words away. The way here talks of divine
7:47
life. Great fathers of faith like
7:50
Kenneth E Hagin used to call it the God kind of life, and they
7:55
did their best with the knowledge they had by that time.
7:57
But it's always beyond the God kind of life.
8:00
Animal life is the God kind of life.
8:02
Any kind of life is the God kind of life.
8:05
All life forms originate from a central source, God himself.
8:11
So it's not like there's another kind of life that God has no
8:14
control of. Anything that is alive draws its
8:18
strength far from You are all things and to you are all
8:24
things. You deserve the glory.
8:30
You get the song Now fall from me.
8:34
You are all things, and to you are all things.
8:40
You deserve the glory. That song is John 1 and verse 3.
8:46
It says all things were made by him and without him was not
8:50
anything made that was made. Colossians 116 now puts
8:54
perspective. It talks of the things made
8:57
visible or invisible, the things that are in heaven visible or
9:02
invisible, whether they be Thrones or dominions or
9:06
principalities or powers. All things were created by him
9:11
and for him. So when we talk of the way is
9:14
beyond the God kind of life is God's very life.
9:18
The life plans have is God's kind of life.
9:21
The life lower animals have is God's kind of life.
9:25
Are we together? Every kind of life whatsoever.
9:28
Once it culminates to existence and consciousness, there is a
9:33
central point. Now some of those lives were
9:36
corrupted, like the fallen angels, Like demon spirits,
9:40
Satan does not have the power of self existence.
9:43
Self existence is an attribute, one of the major attributes that
9:48
defines God that He did not share with man.
9:51
There are many dimensions of God's nature.
9:53
When the Bible calls us partakers of His divine nature,
9:57
it is not every part of His nature we are partakers of.
10:00
Are we together now? There are dimensions in God that
10:03
He did not share with man. There are six of them.
10:06
I'm not listening to them this morning.
10:08
Number one, let me attempt to give you 3 or 4.
10:10
Number one is omnipotence. He did not share that dimension
10:14
with man. Man is not omnipotent #2
10:17
omniscience, the ability to know.
10:20
Omnipotence means all powerful. Man is not all powerful.
10:24
Our power and authority is derived, and it is in measures
10:28
based on faithfulness and based on assignment.
10:31
Are we learning now? Yes, God is omniscient, meaning
10:35
He knows all things. God does not learn, He does not
10:39
increase in knowledge, He does not improve.
10:42
There's nothing like improvement for God.
10:44
That concept does not exist. He knows all things.
10:48
All things are playing before him.
10:50
It is not a function of time. He does not evolve, He does not
10:54
develop, He does not advance. There's nothing like
10:57
transformation with God from where to where His alpha is that
11:01
he feels all things and in all. Is someone understanding this
11:04
now? Now God did not share that
11:07
mentioned with man #3 is omniscient.
11:11
I mean Omni omnipresence. Man is not omnipresent.
11:16
He's not everywhere. No, you can be in one place, but
11:22
not everywhere. But the psalmist said, where can
11:25
I hide from your presence? Whether it's heaven above or the
11:29
earth or even under the earth, You are there everywhere I told
11:32
you are there. Another attribute is that he
11:35
self existent. Everybody depended on the
11:39
presence of his father or his mother or a biological process
11:45
for his arrival. Whether you call it evolution,
11:47
whether you call it reproduction, there was a
11:50
process meaning you can trace a stat.
11:53
But this one, when he's called the Ancient of Days, it's a way
11:58
of saying we don't know where he started from.
12:00
We just know that the journey is far in the beginning, not from
12:04
the beginning. When you say from the beginning,
12:06
there is a point that means whatever was before that point
12:10
was what was responsible for God's arrival.
12:13
But when you say in the beginning you are saying this is
12:17
where our knowledge starts from. We don't know what happened
12:20
before then. We just know that he's the self
12:23
existent one. Another description of a self
12:26
existent 1 is that he does not need any other external force
12:30
for his sustenance. Man does not have that ability.
12:35
We need oxygen, we need to breathe out carbon, the oxide.
12:40
We need food, we need plans, we need sleep.
12:43
Are we together? We need relationships, we need
12:46
connections. You see that no matter how
12:48
anointed you are, you cannot live in isolation.
12:51
But God sits in a circular class of his own.
12:54
Nobody supplies strength. Nobody supplies encouragement,
12:58
Nobody supplies counsel or advice.
13:01
He's the self existent 1. Are we learning now?
13:06
Praise the name of the Lord. So I'm just saying all of that
13:09
to say, when we talk about the life of God, it's important to
13:12
define and describe the quality of what we have Zowe here.
13:17
It's a definition of every attribute in God that is freely
13:22
given to man that can upgrade man to function in the God
13:27
class. That's what we call zowe.
13:29
It is beyond just a divine life. Are we together now?
13:33
Yes. It's an overall system that
13:36
upgrades man from being earthly, from being fleshly, from being
13:41
limited by the vicissitudes of life.
13:44
And it brings you, is a transitory process that brings
13:47
you in the spirit where you become a possessor and a
13:52
manifesto of the attributes that make God, God.
13:56
It literally is a regining. The Bible calls it a
14:00
regeneration, A regining like your DNA is tampered with
14:05
positively and you become another kind of creature.
14:09
The Bible says if any man is in Christ, he's a new creature
14:13
almost for want of word like a mutation, something happened to
14:17
you, it's tampered with your humanity and it's upgraded into
14:21
a class where you can afford to manifest God like possibilities.
14:27
Is someone learning now? So when we say the believer in
14:31
Christ is a possessor of the life of God, it is beyond
14:35
everlasting, it is beyond eternal, it is beyond God's kind
14:40
of life. You always had God's kind of
14:41
life in truth. That's even why you are alive.
14:46
Hallelujah. But this one, He's brought you
14:49
the qualities that brand him as God, and it upgrades you so that
14:55
you now begin to function in possibilities that you would not
14:58
have if you did not receive that life.
15:01
So he says as many as received them, He gave them power to
15:05
become power to become the sons of God.
15:09
If you're following so far, say Amen.
15:12
And I did tell us that from an earth standpoint yesterday that
15:17
there are many possibilities that can generally improve a
15:21
man's life. So that we really define what's
15:23
the way is number 1. I told you that wealth can
15:27
improve your quality of living. Am I right on that?
15:29
Education can improve your quality of living.
15:33
Strategic relationships can improve your quality of living.
15:37
Political connection can improve your quality of living.
15:41
So when we talk about an upgraded life, we're not just
15:45
using mundane human parameters. Else there will not be need to
15:49
preach the gospel to reach people, successful people,
15:52
because based on their template, their lives are already upgraded
15:55
enough. What you see, the life of God
15:58
provides a structure that no limitation in life can overcome.
16:03
No matter how wealthy you are, there are things you will face
16:07
that money cannot solve. No matter how intelligent you
16:10
are, there are things you will face that intellect cannot
16:13
solve. Are we together?
16:14
No matter how politically connected you are, there are
16:18
especially spiritual realities that will befall you that human
16:22
political connection will prove to not be an advantage.
16:26
So we said there are three tests as to whether your upgrade was
16:30
sponsored by God and culminates. So this life calls the way #1A
16:35
life that we call the way must be born of God.
16:38
The Bible says so born of God. The meaning of that is that God
16:44
is the one who assumes the responsibility of fatherhood.
16:49
Your life is not the way. If God is not your father, He
16:54
has to be Father. The word Pata, ABBA, source,
16:59
originator, sustainer, defender, protector, are we together?
17:05
He that comment from above is above all.
17:10
The way we carry DNA is from father to son, and so if you
17:15
claim the life you have is from God, then it must be
17:18
demonstrated by your submission to His fatherhood.
17:22
You must walk in that consciousness that I'm the
17:24
possessor of God's life because I have willfully submitted to
17:29
His fatherhood. So His father, and then I'm
17:32
called son, I'm called daughter. Are we learning now #2 We said
17:36
you must be born of the Spirit. John 3326, You must be born of
17:43
the Spirit. What does that mean?
17:45
That means that through the ministry of the Holy Spirit,
17:48
your mind, your spiritual faculties can be able to import
17:54
and trap divine possibilities. Possibilities of wisdom, favor,
17:59
understanding, power. All of these things are now
18:02
affordable in your life and destiny because of the ministry
18:06
of the Holy Spirit. When you say you are born again
18:10
or you have the life of God, we must see the allowance that your
18:14
life has given the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
18:17
We must see you convey possibilities that are beyond
18:21
that which an ordinary man can manifest.
18:23
Divine wisdom are we together? The supernatural power of the
18:27
Holy Spirit inside these are the fruit of the Spirit, the
18:32
character of Christ. Ordinarily a man who is not in
18:37
Christ may be difficult to tame things like anger or rage
18:42
because some of those things are transmitted through bloodline.
18:46
But when you are born of the Spirit, it then means you have
18:49
submitted to the character of the Spirit of Christ to find
18:53
expression. Are we together?
18:55
Regardless the limitations that came through your bloodline,
18:58
there is an agency that can help you become Christ.
19:01
Like inexperience born of the Spirit, you can tap into divine
19:06
understanding, understanding beyond your age, beyond your
19:09
level of exposure, level of of comprehension, because there is
19:14
a spirit in man and the breath of the Almighty, the Bible says
19:18
makes men of understanding. Then #3 we said you must be born
19:23
of the incorruptible seed of the word.
19:28
I did tell us yesterday that exploring the Spirit life, not
19:32
having a strong word foundation will always lead to error and a
19:37
lot of extra biblical practices because hunger is one of the
19:42
requirements to explore spirit matters.
19:45
You have to be hungry, you have to be aligned and there is a
19:49
side effect to that hunger because any spirit can attempt
19:53
to feed that hunger. And So what brings balance to
19:56
your exploring the realm of the Spirit is that you have a strong
20:00
world foundation. Are we together?
20:03
The Holy Spirit is not the only spirit who seeks your attention.
20:06
There are many other spirits. In fact, Paul puts it this way.
20:10
He says there are many other voices and none of them is
20:13
without signification. They seek your attention,
20:17
sleeping messages and your spiritual radar will pick all
20:21
kinds of voices and all kinds of spiritual impulses.
20:25
But you must have the word of God as a spiritual immigration
20:29
system that will sieve all of these thoughts, these voices,
20:33
and make sure that that which is allowed to get into your destiny
20:38
and to express itself is that which is consistent with the
20:42
word of God. You may have heard me say It is
20:44
written is greater than I saw, it is written, is greater than I
20:49
heard it is written, is greater than I feel or I felt.
20:54
That which is written has been tested.
20:56
That which you saw has not been tested.
20:58
That which you heard has not been tested.
21:00
It says God, who in sundry times and diverse manners speak to us
21:04
in time, pass through the prophets, had in this last day
21:07
spoken to us through His Son, the Word, whom He has appointed
21:11
to be heir over all things, born of God, born of the Spirit, born
21:19
of the Word. And I did tell us that these 3
21:22
dimensions are not just proclamations.
21:24
It is also a call to responsibility to submit to the
21:28
governing influence of the Father, to submit to the
21:31
influence of the Spirit, and to submit to the Word, not just the
21:35
Word as Savior, but the Word as a compendium of the modus
21:40
operandi of the Kingdom. When you submit to the Word of
21:44
God, your life, I'm going to be talking about that now, can
21:47
indeed manifest the way. Now it is possible for you to
21:53
through the gateway of salvation.
21:55
Remember, the official way we access the way is not through
21:59
impartation. It is not through fasting.
22:03
You don't access the way through fasting.
22:05
You release the way through fasting, but you don't access it
22:09
through fasting. You don't access the way through
22:12
prayer. No, you release it through
22:14
prayer. You don't access the way through
22:17
Bible recitation. You can do all of these
22:19
spiritual activities. It's like holding a battery
22:22
without a clock. The battery is not useful.
22:25
What makes our way together, what makes the battery useful is
22:28
that there is a component in the first place, so it powers it.
22:32
Most people believe and fast their way into receiving the
22:37
way, pray their way into no, no, no, it's a gift.
22:41
When you now receive that gift, you are trained to release it.
22:44
Are we together now? When you receive the gospel, The
22:47
gospel is a declaration of the Father's love that was
22:51
demonstrated in and through the substitutionary sacrifice of
22:55
Jesus. When you believe that report,
22:58
the Bible tells us that there are three gifts you receive #1
23:02
you receive the forgiveness of sin #2 you receive the gift of
23:07
righteousness, that nature of Christ, and then #3 you receive
23:12
the way, the life of God, God's very life transmuted through
23:17
your spirit man. But you see, the moment you
23:21
receive that life, it does not mean you will begin to manifest
23:24
it. And here's where my teaching
23:26
begins. My focus in this short time that
23:29
we have is to teach you how to release that life that you
23:32
already have. Because many believers, just
23:36
like a gadget. Remember my illustration
23:38
yesterday? I have a phone.
23:41
My phone is a good phone, but I'm not sure that I'm utilizing
23:45
up to or more than 30% of the potentials in that phone.
23:49
And I know it because I've seen other people have the same phone
23:53
and I've seen the possibilities that came out of their using the
23:56
phone. Sometimes I get surprised
23:58
myself. I'm holding the same phone, They
24:00
are holding the same phone, but they've downloaded certain
24:03
applications in their phone. You see that now the download is
24:07
not the responsibility of the company that gave you they will.
24:11
There are times that it notifies you that there is a software
24:14
available. These are enhancing systems and
24:17
you now begin to download certain applications.
24:20
Are we together? So you look at 2 phones and you
24:23
find out that in addition to having the phone, someone was
24:26
able to download certain applications, maybe health
24:30
applications that measures your blood pressure.
24:32
Are we together? Maybe voice, text, work, all
24:36
kinds of applications. And you find two people engaging
24:40
their phone, same make, same brand, but for one person he's
24:43
using it in an enviable way and another person, he will even
24:46
make you hate the phone. This is what is happening in
24:49
church. So in truth, many people are
24:52
genuinely safe. They are born again, but perhaps
24:56
they were not trained to understand the responsibility of
25:00
releasing that life that is in you.
25:04
And this is what I want to guide you through very briefly.
25:08
How do I release the life of God that's already in me, given by
25:13
grace, given by faith, given by mercy, given as a gift?
25:17
How do I release that life so that I can manifest the God
25:21
life? Inexperience the Bible says in
25:24
some 82 five to seven it says having their understanding of it
25:29
says they know not neither will they understand.
25:32
They walk on in darkness and all the foundations of the earth are
25:36
out. Of course, verse 6 and Jesus
25:38
made reference to this statement.
25:40
I have said ye are gods or of the God class, and all of you
25:46
are children of the Most High. He says verse 7 But you shall
25:50
die like mere men and fall like one of these.
25:53
Princess, is it in your Bible that man that is in honor and
25:57
knoweth not is like a beast in the field that perisheth?
26:00
That means even though you have been upgraded to a life of
26:03
grace, glory, power, dominion, not knowing it or not knowing
26:08
how to release the potentials there will still leave you
26:12
defeated. Galatians 4 and verse 1 and
26:14
heir. For as long as that heir is a
26:17
child, he different nothing inexperienced from his slave,
26:21
even though he be Lord of all. So I can be born again,
26:25
genuinely saved, and yet my experience does not change my
26:30
possibilities, does not change the advantage that comes from
26:34
being in Christ does not show in my life.
26:37
And let me tell you something, ladies and gentlemen, when your
26:40
Christian experience fails to produce results, results that
26:45
attends to the fact that you are a possessor of the life of God,
26:48
you will eventually be frustrated.
26:50
That's why a lot of people are getting frustrated with church.
26:53
They are getting frustrated but you know, with prayer, with
26:57
fasting, with word studies, because they don't seem to see
27:00
the difference before and after. They know that they confess they
27:04
receive Jesus, but in terms of possibilities, in terms of the
27:09
reality of that advantage, they cannot see the advantage that
27:14
being born again or being saved has brought to their life apart
27:18
from the consciousness of being to heaven or being in heaven
27:22
when they die. The average believers advantage,
27:27
the only consciousness he or she has, is that after this life,
27:31
when I die, I'll be with Christ. And that is wonderful.
27:34
But there is victory right here. Is someone learning?
27:39
There is victory right here. The dominion was supposed to be
27:43
demonstrated right here in heaven.
27:45
There's nothing you are fighting.
27:47
Are we together now? You are not fighting God.
27:50
You are not fighting any spirit. Rebellion has already been
27:53
judged in heaven. There is peace in heaven.
27:55
It is on the earth that there is war.
27:57
There was war in heaven. But Lucifer has been judged.
28:00
He's been cast down upon the earth, and he came with great
28:03
anger and fury, and there was a lamentation war to the
28:06
inhabitants of the earth for that great dragon, Satan.
28:10
He's been thrown to the earth. This is where dominion should be
28:13
demonstrated, not there. There is worship and submission.
28:16
Here is dominion, it's someone learning now.
28:23
So how do we release this life? I'll tell you this, the first
28:30
law, whenever you want to walk in a reality, a spiritual
28:35
reality, the first law is consciousness, is from the word
28:40
logizomai. To reckon yourself to come into
28:45
a consciousness. Are we together?
28:48
The Bible says reckon yourself, for instance, as dead to sin.
28:55
The meaning of that is that you must come into a consciousness.
28:59
Please look at me if I look at this wonderful sister.
29:03
Can you stand, ma? Now if I call you a boy, will
29:08
you cry? You see that?
29:12
Now you feel sorry for me, isn't it?
29:14
And you feel I need to see a doctor.
29:16
Do you know why? Because there is a consciousness
29:19
beyond your feminine frame. There is a consciousness in you,
29:23
and by too many biological activities that you are a woman.
29:28
So by the time I send the wrong word and say you are a boy, that
29:32
word is dead on arrival because it's met with a consciousness.
29:38
Listen carefully. I want to show you how to walk
29:40
in the You can pray without the consciousness.
29:43
You can just chant and speak without the consciousness.
29:47
You will not walk in that reality.
29:49
I think that's what the woman of God was trying to express
29:51
through the songs and asking you to repeat these things is to put
29:55
a consciousness. One of the benefits of
30:01
confession is not just to release the power in it.
30:05
It is to do something to you first.
30:07
Confession does an inner walk before it now creates the
30:11
possibilities. It's someone learning now.
30:14
This life that I have is the life of Christ.
30:20
In this life that I have is the life of God.
30:29
The way, the way, the way, so so, so Hallelujah.
30:44
And I'll tell you this. One of the ways consciousness is
30:47
built is to stand in the presence of what you want to be
30:52
transformed into. So the Bible says as we behold
30:55
him as in a mirror, that change. It's not just the change of a
31:01
reality. The nature is already there, but
31:04
you are stepping into the consciousness of it.
31:07
You know why the man had get beautiful was kept at the gate.
31:12
He needed to see the possibility.
31:16
There was something about him looking at the beautiful gate.
31:20
It was not changing the gate. The gate was already beautiful,
31:24
but he was upgrading his life so that he could see the
31:27
possibility that even though I was born lame, something happens
31:31
when you stand in the presence of possibilities.
31:34
It affects you psychologically. It affects you spiritually, it
31:38
affects you. Atmospheres create an effect.
31:41
They create consciousness. Mount Everest.
31:46
Once Upon a time it was an impossible feat to climb Mount
31:49
Everest. But the moment one person did it
31:53
and it became a consciousness that is possible.
31:56
Right now. There are thousands of people.
32:00
Are we together now? Consciousness.
32:03
So I say she's a man and because, number one, she has the
32:08
consciousness enhanced by a lifetime of biological
32:12
activities, she can reject that statement.
32:15
She doesn't need to say opposed to go away.
32:18
How can you say I'm a woman? That in itself is a sign she's
32:20
not sure. Settled confidence, one with
32:26
Christ, Settled confidence above and not beneath.
32:31
Is someone learning? Now?
32:32
Please sit down, Ma. Thank you.
32:34
So the first thing you need is a consciousness is the word
32:38
record. Record means come to terms,
32:41
settle for a fact, refuse to bend that conscious regardless
32:46
your circumstances. Don't wait until you pay your
32:49
house rent to believe that you are mighty.
32:52
You have dominion in Christ. Don't wait until you are healed
32:56
of the sickness first. It starts with the
32:58
consciousness, the mind of Christ.
33:04
That's what it's called consciousness.
33:07
Jesus did not wait till he died to know he was Savior.
33:11
Jesus did not wait till he resurrected to know he was from
33:14
above. He carried that consciousness.
33:16
He said before your father Abraham was I am.
33:19
They wanted to stone him. Ladies and gentlemen, let me
33:23
tell you this. We live in a world right now
33:25
where there is a major, there is an onslaught of identity crisis.
33:31
People are defined by so many things.
33:33
Depending on what Vista you use, whether it's social media,
33:37
whether it's naysayers, sometimes, whether it's parents
33:41
are we together, whether it's the educational system you find
33:44
yourself in. It's important that you come
33:47
into a consciousness of who you are and the way you get that
33:52
information through Scripture. The Bible has the most concise
33:57
definition of who a believer is, and it's been vetted.
34:03
Is someone learning now? Consciousness.
34:06
Reckon yourself, reckon yourself.
34:09
You will never be able to come into the reality of that life
34:14
and to manifest it if you don't carry the consciousness.
34:18
Say this after me. Everyone say I'm born of God.
34:22
Say it like you're serious. Say I'm born of God.
34:25
I have the life of God in me. I am above only.
34:31
I am above only. The wisdom of Christ is hard
34:36
work in me. I am the head, not the tail.
34:40
I am above, not beneath. The Spirit of grace is hard work
34:45
in me. He has access to my mental
34:49
faculties, producing wisdom, producing power, producing
34:54
intelligence. The Holy Spirit is helping me to
34:59
manifest the nature of Christ in experience.
35:03
I refuse to fear. The faith of God is at work in
35:06
me. You see, this is one of the
35:11
major assignments of confession homologio.
35:16
To repeat like you have heard until you become one with it.
35:20
To repeat like you have heard until you become one with it.
35:25
To repeat like you have heard until you become one with it.
35:28
So it says, Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.
35:32
Let the healed of the Lord say so.
35:35
Let the lifted of the Lord say so.
35:38
Let the possessors of the life of God say so.
35:43
The way consciousness is built is through your eye gate,
35:47
through your ear gate, or through your speaking your eye
35:51
gate. As we behold your ear gate to
35:55
watch for the things you hear. Is someone learning now and then
35:58
your confession of faith? When you find yourself hanging
36:04
around environments that frustrate what God has said
36:08
concerning you and you live indefinitely in that
36:11
environment, you will become a victim of that consciousness.
36:15
The first thing God told man when he fell was who told you,
36:20
Adam Vera down. He said I heard your voice and I
36:23
hid because I was naked. He said Who told you?
36:25
You have exposed yourself to another consciousness?
36:28
When I said let them have dominion, when I blessed you,
36:32
when I gave you stewardship over the earth, you heard my voice
36:35
and only my voice. My voice framed your confidence,
36:39
but now you expose yourself to another influence and you have
36:43
become a victim of that influence.
36:44
I pray for you in the name of Jesus, every other influence
36:48
that is sponsoring an identity, a consciousness in you outside
36:53
of that which the world has said you are.
36:55
We silence those influences now in the name of Jesus Christ.
37:01
Some of you have been victims of parents as sincere as they are.
37:06
They've called you all kinds of names.
37:07
You're a failure, you're a loser.
37:09
You will never amount to anything.
37:11
So when we say you have the way that consciousness is met with
37:15
20-30, forty 50 year old, a stronghold.
37:20
That's the reason why when you fight your warfare, the first
37:23
warfare is not against demons. The first warfare is against
37:27
taught patterns. Taught patterns.
37:31
You cast out a spirit with one word, but it takes a system of
37:35
re engineering your thoughts to break free from those
37:39
strongholds. Is someone learning now?
37:43
You can get out of Egypt in one day and Egypt is still in your
37:47
mind. You will still die.
37:48
Even if you don't die in Egypt, you will die in the wilderness.
37:51
You are still defeated anyway. Consciousness.
38:02
There are things I will never believe about myself.
38:05
I've indoctrinated myself by the word of God to believe certain
38:09
things and to disbelieve certain things.
38:13
I do not believe anybody can take my life before my time.
38:18
I'm not trying to believe it honestly.
38:20
It's a reality. And this is not based on a
38:24
braggadocio statement. Your confidence must be derived
38:28
from scripture. That's where your authority is.
38:31
I do not believe I will fail in any assignment that God has sent
38:35
me to. I can fail alone, but me and God
38:38
cannot fail together. He's, He's the indestructible
38:42
equation in my or part of the equation of my success.
38:48
Is someone learning? Now my question is, what do you
38:51
believe about yourself? Where did you get it from?
38:55
What do you believe about yourself?
38:57
My dear sister, my dear brother, where did you get it from?
39:02
Consciousness. Lay your hands on your head in
39:04
one minute and pray. Say in the name of Jesus every
39:07
thought pattern, every level of consciousness that is
39:11
inconsistent with the Word of God.
39:14
I drive it by faith. Far from my life, far from my
39:18
thinking, I have the mind of Christ.
39:20
Someone pray. Someone pray, someone pray,
39:34
someone pray. Hallelujah.
39:39
Amen. Now generally speaking, so where
39:43
empowers the believer to live like Christ and then to function
39:50
like Christ, Write that down. The scope of this life.
39:54
It empowers the believer to #1 live like Christ in experience
40:00
and then #2 to function like Christ in restoration.
40:04
Back to the initial Genesis 126 to 28 order.
40:08
The Bible says God created man in his image.
40:11
Everybody say image. Shout that again, say image.
40:15
And then his likeness, the word image is a spiritual quality,
40:19
what you call nature, what you call character.
40:23
And then likeness means functionality to function like
40:27
God. I test that you have released
40:30
the way truly to find expression in your life when you live like
40:35
Christ and you function like Christ.
40:37
That's it. That's the least, most test.
40:40
If I do not find you living like Christ and I do not find you
40:44
functioning like Christ, and this is a gradual process.
40:48
Receiving the life is instant, but releasing the life is a
40:52
gradual process. It depends on growth, growth
40:55
that comes through knowledge, growth that comes through
40:57
engaging the dynamics of the Kingdom.
41:00
Who is understanding me? Praise the name of the Lord.
41:02
So write this down, please. That the lives away generally
41:06
empowers the believer to live like Christ and to function like
41:12
Christ, to live like Christ and to function like Christ.
41:20
Let's talk about living like Christ.
41:22
What does it mean to live like Christ?
41:23
Number one, it means to sustain the power to rise above the grip
41:30
of sin, above the grip of the flesh.
41:35
To live like Christ means that you now are empowered to rise
41:41
above sin, not to battle with it, not to fight with it, but to
41:46
rise above it. I don't have the time to make a
41:51
very honest submission that what is happening in the body of
41:56
Christ is not victory. Overseen is hypocrisy and
42:02
endurance. We are not called to endure and
42:07
fight. Are we together now is to rise
42:10
above it. There is there is a program in
42:13
there is a vaccination that so way brings to a believer.
42:18
You don't you don't fate you rise above it, but what happens
42:24
largely in the body of Christ. I'll give you a should I give
42:27
you a humorous example? Well, so let's assume a
42:30
gentleman sees a very pretty lady.
42:33
I'll tell you what most people do.
42:34
And I said no, I'm not seeing anything.
42:36
You are talking nonsense. You are saying that's a pretty
42:39
lady going there. But the issue is that the
42:41
suggestions that appeal to the flesh is where the victory of
42:46
Christ comes in, that you can appreciate her as God's creation
42:51
without being corrupted by what you have seen.
42:54
That is now dominion overseen. So what happens is a lot of
42:58
hypocrisy. That's why you find out that
43:00
people just hide and after many years they say I'm tired of
43:03
hiding. Let me just tell you the truth.
43:05
Something is wrong with me. You see that now?
43:08
No, we are not giving grace to endure sin and to lie and to
43:12
court. No victory over it.
43:15
Sir, if you don't believe in victory over sin, you will
43:17
suspect everybody. You will interpret people from
43:20
the lens of your own hardship. Spiritually, are we together?
43:30
You can have victory over sin. God will be a very cruel God to
43:35
put people within the earth and then put all of these things and
43:39
leave you there and expect you to just keep enduring.
43:43
There is victory over it. The Bible says Jesus was tempted
43:46
like us and always yet without sin.
43:49
Let me tell you, it's not something try to fight.
43:53
When you try to fight scene, you have subscribed for a journey
43:57
that will lead you in pain and regret, an embarrassment.
44:01
That's why there's there's a heightened increase of
44:04
pornography, masturbation, all kinds of things.
44:07
You know why? Because since people don't want
44:10
public embarrassment, we just carry that short regalia.
44:13
Then people go back and they are victims of all kinds of things,
44:17
married or married. That's where the problem is I'm
44:23
talking of dominion church is quiet.
44:31
You said the way, that's what the way is the life of God.
44:34
Leave the issue of if you cannot conquer yourself, you can't
44:38
conquer the nation's. Who is learning?
44:41
Now let me tell you the truth, the message of enduring or
44:48
consistently worrying in there, there is a consciousness that
44:54
the body of Christ must step into.
44:58
Are we together forever? For as long as you are alive as
45:03
a gentleman, you are going to see pretty ladies, you are going
45:07
to see handsome guys, you are going to see wealthy people.
45:10
Are we together? You are going to see all of
45:13
these things that generally pull to the strings of the emotion.
45:16
God will not put you in a system like that to just keep enduring.
45:19
No Sir. You can look at a handsome guy
45:23
and see walk home free. You can look at a good looking
45:26
lady and see walk home free. You can look at a nice car and
45:30
not carry the car in your mind while you are going home and say
45:33
I've, I've carried. No, no, no, no.
45:35
All of those impulses of loss, there is victory over it.
45:39
We were not called to manage it. There is victory over who
45:42
understands me so far? Reckon yourself as dead to sin,
45:49
Lokisomai. Come into that consciousness.
45:53
I have victory over it. The reason why temptation works
46:01
is because it reacts to something already inside you.
46:05
Temptations have no power when there is no seed already inside
46:09
you. If you are not hungry, the
46:11
temptation to turn stones to bread is useless to you.
46:15
It is only useful to a man who is already hungry.
46:18
Do you understand? Yes.
46:22
So you are empowered to live like Christ.
46:26
Empowered to live like Christ by the agency of the Spirit.
46:30
Let me tell you the meaning of that.
46:32
It is not usual for you to be in an office where they are bribing
46:39
and not collect your own portion.
46:41
No, it's not. It's not unusual.
46:43
I meant to say as a normal human being, when you stand in front
46:47
of money, knowing you have house rent or you have a lot, the
46:51
natural response is to take your portion.
46:54
Are we together? When you stand before a person
46:58
or a man or woman, someone who is pleasant to you, the natural
47:02
response is for lossful thoughts to begin to come.
47:06
Are we together? All of these things are the
47:10
impulses of the flesh. But I'm saying when you
47:13
understand, you can be empowered by an agency from heaven, the
47:18
Holy Ghost, someone, if you are learning, shout Amen.
47:21
You can stand in the presence. Because you see, we live in a
47:25
society where there is only so far.
47:27
You can run away, run to. Where are we together now?
47:39
It is a natural response as a politician that if somebody
47:43
tells you come and meet, get some charm and conjoined so that
47:48
you win election because of the pressure, you can say yes.
47:51
But ladies and gentlemen, the life we have received empowers
47:56
you. Not just dominion over
47:58
principalities and powers. Salvation sets us free from 7
48:03
things I don't have the time to list, but there is sin, there is
48:07
flesh, there is the world, there is the grave, there is death,
48:11
there is hell, there is Satan. 7 things, Seven things.
48:17
Sin, Satan, Hell, death, the grave, the flesh, the world.
48:25
These are the seven things that salvation covers and you must
48:28
allow the dynamics of experiencing liberty across
48:31
these seven areas. So my instant some are products
48:36
of you engaging by faith. I'm I'm I'm is someone following
48:40
me now the real proof that you have the life of God is when
48:46
what can destroy emotionally, psychologically.
48:50
OK, let me talk about something milder.
48:52
There are some of us who come from families where forgiveness
48:56
is difficult. Anger is easy, greed is easy.
49:00
The life of God empowers you to rise above those things.
49:04
Don't say I'm born again, but I'm an angry person.
49:07
No, it's like you are saying I am.
49:09
I am water but I'm in the midst of fire.
49:12
You are contrasting your statement.
49:17
There is a culture that the life of God seeks to bring in a
49:19
believer. So ordinarily you will not be
49:22
able to forgive, but now you are empowered.
49:24
You can let go. And they say, but this unusual
49:27
when you were in secondary school, you were an angry
49:30
temporal person and you say, yes, you are right.
49:33
But now I have received the life of God.
49:35
Someone says something. You are before who?
49:37
He will remove your shirt like you're in a football viewing
49:40
center and beats the person. Now you are changed.
49:43
Someone can insult you and you can say God bless you.
49:46
Well, that's your opinion, but I think differently.
49:48
I pray for you. Your transformation will
49:51
surprise many people. In the name of Jesus Christ,
49:56
someone say the life of God at work in me has changed me, is
50:04
changing me, and will change me. The life of God at work in me
50:10
has changed me, changing me, and will change me.
50:20
The old folks used to say the things I used to do, I do them
50:23
no more. The places I used to go, I go no
50:26
more. I choose to say this way.
50:28
The person I used to be, I am no more because that's what
50:31
influences the things you do and the places you go to.
50:34
There is a kind of person who will not go to certain places.
50:38
There is a kind of person who will not do certain things.
50:41
The issue is not the going or the doing, is the becoming.
50:45
Who you are is what governs what you do is someone learning and
50:48
the life of God empowers you. May someone get this revelation.
50:52
You don't have to live beyond the grip of or below the grip of
50:56
sin and the flesh. The life of God has empowered
50:59
you and in the name of Jesus I say it again.
51:02
Your transformation will surprise many.
51:07
By this I break every influence of addiction in the name of
51:13
Jesus. That you are a child of God.
51:15
But you are struggling with several things and as much as
51:19
you want to break free from it, it looks like you are a victim
51:23
of it. I'm praying for you right now.
51:25
The power to be free. That you don't need to pretend
51:29
your victory is real. Your dominion is real.
51:32
I release that grace upon you right now.
51:41
If you enter the fire and it burns you, like everybody, you
51:44
can't say there's something supernatural.
51:47
What caught the attention of Nebuchadnezzar was the fact that
51:50
they were in a fire that should burn everyone, but they were not
51:53
consumed. So the life of God empowers you
51:56
to live like Christ. That means the nature of Christ.
52:00
Everybody say I have the nature of Christ said I have the nature
52:04
of Christ. Galatians 620-2522.
52:07
Let's hurry up. We're about to pray 5/22.
52:12
Let's read what we call the fruit of the Spirit. 1 to go.
52:15
But the fruit of the Spirit is Lovejoy, peace, long-suffering,
52:21
gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, or
52:27
self-control. Against such there is no law.
52:31
Listen ladies and gentlemen, you must seek to allow the nature of
52:36
Christ to find expression in you.
52:41
The software is already inside you.
52:43
You release it by carrying the consciousness.
52:46
You release it by your confession.
52:48
You release it by faith. I tell you how to release it in
52:51
the name of Jesus. Hate cannot work in me.
52:54
I have the life of God. If someone agrees making this
52:58
confession with me. I refuse hate.
53:01
I live by the law of love in the name of Jesus Christ.
53:05
A life of envy, a life of competition, a life of jealousy
53:10
is far from me. I'm a child of God, refined by
53:13
knowledge in the name of Jesus. Patience is natural with me.
53:18
Peace is natural with me. Gentleness is natural with me.
53:22
By the power of the Holy Spirit, I adopt A new nature, higher and
53:27
greater than the nature that came from my bloodline.
53:30
I have the nature of Christ. Someone take a minute and
53:33
confess this. I have the nature of Christ.
53:36
Don't just call me Yoruba. Don't just call me Ebo.
53:39
Don't just call me Hausa. Don't just call me s s.
53:43
Yes, I'm from that decent, but in terms of inheriting the
53:46
limitations of the bloodline, I've been called out of every
53:50
tribe and every tribe and every nation.
53:52
I cannot be a victim of my bloodline.
53:55
I've been bought with a prize exalted higher, greater than
53:59
nature of love, the nature of peace.
54:02
Come on, Shabra cateva la catosia.
54:06
I look like Christ in experience.
54:09
I look like Christ in experience.
54:11
His victory is my victory. In Jesus name we pray
54:18
Hallelujah. Have you seen many believers
54:22
that even though they pray in tongues, when you see the anger
54:26
you just say you are from so so so place without prophesying and
54:30
it says it's true. How did you know?
54:31
Say you are you are like that. Make sure that statement is not
54:34
used on you again. Let your transformation surprise
54:37
people. They will keep guessing and
54:39
feeling where you are from because this, this level of
54:43
dexterous transformation. Are you from this place where
54:47
people are angry? They say no.
54:48
Are you from this place? And when you tell them where you
54:51
are from, this is impossible because based on history and
54:55
based on bloodline, the people who come from this place are
54:59
angry, envious, jealous. I hear that the people who come
55:02
from this place, they marry 10 wives.
55:05
How come you are having just one say well the life of God?
55:11
I hear the people who come from this place, they don't live
55:14
long. How come you are clocking 50 and
55:17
crossing it into 60? You tell them so way.
55:20
The people that come from this place, I hear they are
55:22
competitive, they fight everybody including their
55:25
brothers and sisters. Why is yours different?
55:28
It is based on this you can say my case is different, different,
55:32
different In the name of Jesus Christ, empowered to live like
55:38
Christ, empowered to live like Christ, empowered to live like
55:47
Christ. If my anger of yesterday still
55:51
remains in me, what is the value of the Holy Spirit?
55:54
What is the value of growth? If the jealousy of yesterday
55:57
still lives in you, In the name of Jesus, I'm saying it again.
56:02
Every attribute of the flesh that has held you down, I'm not
56:07
allowing you to manifest as a believer.
56:09
Indeed, I stand on this altar. And in the name of Jesus, on
56:14
this Sunday morning, I speak over your life.
56:17
The power to overcome that dimension of weakness.
56:21
Let that power be released over your life now.
56:28
Hallelujah. Take your time for me.
56:32
Let me sing one song and then we'll take the same power.
57:06
Your love that rescue the earth lives in me.
57:13
Lives in me. Singing one time full of
57:16
assurance. Same power that conquered the
57:20
grave Lives in me, Lives in me. Your love that rescue the earth
57:31
lives in me. Same power, Shamala Qatar.
57:39
Same power that where Jesus would have been angry, he
57:44
forgave. Same power that where Jesus was
57:47
tempted and would have fallen his tool.
57:49
Same power. Same power.
57:53
Every time you want to act like your former self, remember there
57:56
is an ability in me. Same power.
57:59
Come on, household of David, body of Christ.
58:01
Same power. Someone shout same power.
58:04
Same power. Not another one.
58:07
Same power, Same power. Same power.
58:11
The power to 14. Same power.
58:14
The power to release. Same power.
58:17
The power to say no. Same power.
58:23
Same power that conquer the great lives in me lives in me.
58:34
Your love that rescue the earth lives in me.
58:43
Hallelujah. One of the major issues that God
58:47
is helping to deal with in the body of Christ is not
58:51
functioning like Christ is living like Christ.
58:55
That's where the issue is right now, the pruning and the purging
59:00
that the Holy Spirit is bringing to the body of Christ.
59:04
The major problem is that nature part.
59:08
We've seen power, we've seen wisdom, we've seen conglomerates
59:13
build. For the Holy Ghost is raising
59:16
men who can live like Christ, Not pretentiously, not
59:21
legalistically. They demonstrate victory.
59:25
I'm not saying something else. I'm going back and hiding and
59:28
you know you are not truly free. Are we together now?
59:32
No, not not not not not social media image management.
59:38
Whereas you are dying inside true victory.
59:42
Don't love that rescue, dears. You've seen me.
59:53
That when you say you are a faithful husband, you are not
59:57
just saying it to manage your image.
1:00:00
Then you go back and say, God help me, no victory.
1:00:05
That you stand with two levels of consciousness.
1:00:07
One, that which came by the righteousness of Christ, but
1:00:11
that which comes by a pure conscience before God and before
1:00:15
men. What any other person believes
1:00:17
is not your business. Is someone learning Now?
1:00:20
I hope God is working on someone this morning.
1:00:23
Because you see, for as long as we keep falling and rising under
1:00:26
the anointing and we don't look like Christ, the world will see
1:00:30
Christianity as a nuisance. Those who are called Christians
1:00:36
in the Bible were beyond believers.
1:00:38
There were people who reflected Christ in an unusual way.
1:00:42
Do you know how hard it is to reflect Christ in our world
1:00:44
today? There are too many things who
1:00:46
annoy you from morning till night.
1:00:48
Someone will behave stupidly, someone will not mind this
1:00:51
business over your life. Someone will just come and say
1:00:54
why are you wearing a green shirt my dear sister and say how
1:00:57
is that your business? You say well I hate green shirts
1:00:59
and since you are wearing a green shirt, it has become my
1:01:02
concern. That's the world we live in and
1:01:04
now that you're smiling, why are you smiling?
1:01:07
We don't smile in our family. Go and start to live with your
1:01:09
family there. But we live in a world today
1:01:12
where unfortunately, are you getting it now?
1:01:16
You need empowerment to live like Christ, not just willpower.
1:01:21
That's why you find many young people today looking like 50
1:01:24
whereas is 25. Anger piling anger every day and
1:01:29
hot. Same power that conquered the
1:01:37
grave. They've seen me, they've seen
1:01:42
me, your love that rescue dear, they've seen me.
1:01:56
Please be seated. I'm praying for you Household of
1:01:59
David that in this Lagos this year 2026, that when people see
1:02:06
some of the most well behaved people in Lagos without telling
1:02:10
them you are part of this membership, they will say sorry,
1:02:14
are you from Household of David And you say how did you know?
1:02:17
Is there some there is there is a distinct, is someone learning
1:02:20
now some of the most well behaved people in society or the
1:02:27
most well behaved people in society should be Christians.
1:02:31
Unfortunately, some of the nastiest people in society today
1:02:36
are Christians. Nasty in speech, nasty in
1:02:40
behavior, Are we together to the point that even a lot of
1:02:44
unbelievers are saying Me who is not born again, I don't speak
1:02:48
like this. You want to find nasty
1:02:51
speakings, nasty behavior, competitive jealousy, hatred.
1:02:57
Come and meet believers, especially church people.
1:03:00
It must change. We pray in tongues aggressively
1:03:05
for ours and look like demons immediately afterwards.
1:03:08
It has to change, It has to change.
1:03:11
And someone who is watching us. What is this?
1:03:14
How do you pray for five hours looking like an Angel and turn
1:03:18
and speak like a demon immediately?
1:03:21
And you believe the Holy Spirit came and walked on you?
1:03:24
No, Sir, when God comes, he doesn't send you.
1:03:28
The walk is inner. This has nothing to do with
1:03:32
whether you are choleric, phlegmatic, melancholy,
1:03:35
sanguine, any other thing in between.
1:03:37
The life of God comes to transform you household of
1:03:44
David. Are you getting blessed this
1:03:46
morning? The walk is inside that you
1:03:53
become such a transformed lady. Your classmates who knew you in
1:03:57
secondary school, everywhere there's fights, they say, who
1:04:00
are those fighting? They can call your name.
1:04:02
They say, I know she's 1. I don't know the other person,
1:04:04
but I know that she must be the person fighting now.
1:04:07
You are so changed. You are like a dove and people
1:04:11
look at you and say, my God, you are so changed.
1:04:15
And you tell them I did not change.
1:04:16
I was changed, changed by the life I received.
1:04:23
Listen, if you understand the power, and I'm sorry to say
1:04:27
this, if you understand the power we have been given and you
1:04:32
understand what it does to a man, I can say this.
1:04:37
And please don't feel offended. Divorce rates will reduce by a
1:04:41
level because most of it is that somebody in that home is not
1:04:45
behaving like Jesus. Am I right on that?
1:04:48
Yes, when Satan and Jesus, when Satan manifested in heaven, he
1:04:54
was cast down. He was cast down.
1:04:57
It's the same thing that happens in a home.
1:04:58
It's the same thing that happens in an office.
1:05:01
Let me tell you this. Most of the good people you look
1:05:04
for in society, you are just looking for Jesus in people.
1:05:08
It's just that you can't say it's Jesus I'm looking for.
1:05:11
What is a secretary that no, you are looking for a nature that is
1:05:17
foreign to an ordinary man because it's a natural thing to
1:05:20
steal. But when you say I want a
1:05:22
secretary that is well behaved, what you are simply saying is
1:05:26
I'm searching for the character of Christ in that person.
1:05:30
So the more you become like Jesus, the more you are
1:05:33
employable, the more you become like Jesus, the more people want
1:05:36
to relate with you. The more you become like the
1:05:39
invisible Jesus, the more people want to be around you.
1:05:43
Becoming like Jesus is not just a fanatical thing.
1:05:46
It also has economic value, economic value, economic value.
1:05:57
I don't know anyone who wants to run away from a man or a woman
1:06:01
who looks like Jesus. Patient, loving, kind, tempers,
1:06:09
forgiving, accommodating, tolerant, firm but merciful,
1:06:16
sincere, with integrity. Show me such a man and you will
1:06:21
never find that money alone. The world will rally round to
1:06:24
look for that man. If you call that man a doctor,
1:06:27
patients will want that kind of doctor.
1:06:29
If you call that man a businessman, clients will want
1:06:32
that kind of businessman. You call that person a lecturer.
1:06:35
Students will want that kind of lecturer.
1:06:37
Again. I'm praying for you in the name
1:06:39
of Jesus. I have 10 more minutes, but I
1:06:42
like you to lift your voice in one minute and say, Father, walk
1:06:45
upon me. Let my character reflect that I
1:06:49
have of the life of Christ. Let my character from today, my
1:06:53
words, my behavior, You purchase me with a price and empowered me
1:06:59
by Your Spirit so that I will live like you.
1:07:02
Go ahead and pray. Go ahead and pray one minute to
1:07:11
the way it used to be before your presence came and changed
1:07:18
me. I won't go back.
1:07:25
Can't go back to the way it used to be before your presence came.
1:07:35
Now open your mouth in one minute and pray.
1:07:38
I forgive freely. I release everyone.
1:07:41
Just take forgiveness as a case study in the name of Jesus.
1:07:45
Anger is far from my life in the name of Jesus.
1:07:50
Competitive jealousy cannot find a place in my life.
1:07:54
I seek the good of all men. I am Christ like in the name of
1:07:59
Jesus. Hallelujah.
1:08:11
Please be seated for one minute. Becoming like Christ is the
1:08:16
greatest need in the body of Christ today.
1:08:19
The problem is the way we are going about it.
1:08:22
Some are going about it a legalistic way through the
1:08:27
burden of self righteousness that does not produce true
1:08:30
victory. The danger with that kind of
1:08:33
theology is you are going to produce hypocrites like we have
1:08:36
today. Mainly hypocrites carrying a
1:08:41
form because they want to clean up their image in public,
1:08:45
whereas the truth is that they are not free.
1:08:48
And we have a generation right now that is not willing to be
1:08:51
that pretentious. So somebody would just come out
1:08:54
and say, you know what, I'm tired.
1:08:56
I saw my father pretend for 30 years.
1:09:00
Me as a child, I cannot do that. My father breached victory,
1:09:05
acted victory, but I stayed in the same house with him.
1:09:08
I know he did not manifest victory.
1:09:10
And me, I'm not ready to lie like that.
1:09:13
This is what we have right now that is bringing reproach to the
1:09:15
name of the Lord. But we need people who can
1:09:17
demonstrate victory indeed. And then people can come and ask
1:09:21
you and say, how come you are truly working in victory?
1:09:24
And you tell them it's not by the strength of the flesh.
1:09:29
So the nature of Christ manifesting it, I'm telling you
1:09:33
is the biggest project of God right now in the church, not
1:09:37
just power, not just healing. There is prophecy that there
1:09:41
will be a restoration of those things.
1:09:43
The hard work is really what God is doing in is working on men.
1:09:48
But there are three ways to approach it.
1:09:51
You can approach it in a way that produces defeat. 1 of it is
1:09:55
a legalistic self righteousness way and that's what a lot of
1:09:58
people are doing and they don't find true victory there.
1:10:02
Number two, there are those who say, you know what, don't
1:10:06
forget, but I've tried and it did not work.
1:10:09
Let God do everything that's there.
1:10:11
That's another side of the pendulum, an exaggeration of
1:10:15
what we know as the grace message.
1:10:17
That's another error. But there is an approach, number
1:10:21
one, to carry the consciousness that it is finished in Christ,
1:10:25
but it is manifested through your will.
1:10:29
You see it is from the Word and I guess you are empowered to do
1:10:34
You will do the doing, but the strength is not your or your own
1:10:39
comes from God. Let me use my 9 minutes very
1:10:49
well. I have 9 more minutes, 9 more
1:10:54
minutes, let me use it name of Jesus, I'm praying for you by
1:11:03
the power of the Holy Spirit. This issue of the nature of
1:11:06
Christ, I'm drumming it. Most of the problems in the
1:11:09
world is not a power problem, it's not a wisdom problem, it's
1:11:13
a heart problem. Our society is full of
1:11:17
Christians who are not like Christ even though they have the
1:11:20
life of God and it's easy to judge and say it's true.
1:11:23
Apostle, what you are saying is right.
1:11:24
I hope you are not part of the list.
1:11:26
That's what we are trying. We are trying to reduce the
1:11:28
list. The assignment of the preaching
1:11:30
of the gospel is to take advantage of the grace of God,
1:11:33
to diminish that number, that when you say I'm a child of God,
1:11:38
you have obtained the power to live like Christ.
1:11:46
Hallelujah, when you go back home, let it be a prayer for you
1:11:50
all through this week that Lord do a walk in me.
1:11:56
I'm tired of betraying the life that I've received in Christ,
1:12:02
this anger, this flesh, this lost, this unforgiveness.
1:12:09
I'm not ashamed. And that's one of the
1:12:11
assignments of worship. Worship is a purifying process
1:12:15
that you prostrate before him and say, Lord, I'm bare before
1:12:18
you. There's nothing to hide.
1:12:20
Walk in me, let victory be produced in me.
1:12:24
In truth #2 there's a way life empowers you to function like
1:12:32
Christ. So there is living like Christ,
1:12:35
not just living for Christ, living like Christ, then
1:12:41
functioning like Christ. There are three ways we function
1:12:45
like Christ. Everybody write this down #1 we
1:12:49
function like Christ when we think like Christ #2 we function
1:12:55
like Christ when we speak like Christ #3 we function like
1:13:00
Christ when we do the walks of Christ.
1:13:04
Please write that down. You're thinking, you're speaking
1:13:08
and your activities, you are empowered to think like Christ.
1:13:15
Galatians 5 it says let this mind be in you.
1:13:20
Philippians chapter 2 from verse 5 Let this mind be in you, which
1:13:24
was also in Christ Jesus, to think like Christ think
1:13:29
according to the word, think according to the law of the
1:13:33
spirit of life in Christ #2 speak like Christ.
1:13:37
If a man air not in words, that man is a perfect man, able to
1:13:41
bridle his tongue. When I was a child, I spoke like
1:13:45
a child, I understood like a child, I thought like a child.
1:13:50
But now that I'm a man, I lay these childish things.
1:13:53
One of the proof of spiritual maturity is the ability to
1:13:57
culture your words, because out of the abundance of the heart
1:14:01
the mouth speaks #3 do the works of Christ and the answers, or
1:14:05
they say, what is the works of Christ?
1:14:07
It says that you will believe in God, the exploits of faith, the
1:14:11
works of Christ, a tripartite combination of wisdom, faith and
1:14:16
power. Wisdom is an aggregation of the
1:14:19
knowledge, spiritual knowledge, faith, the fortitude to believe
1:14:24
and engage those laws, and then the empowerment of the Holy
1:14:28
Spirit that puts a seal so that results are delivered.
1:14:33
I know you are carrying the life of God when I see the works of
1:14:36
Christ. I know you are carrying the life
1:14:39
of God when I see the mindset of Christ.
1:14:41
When I see you speak like Christ.
1:14:44
God is a creative spirit. When Jesus walked upon the
1:14:48
earth, he created possibilities with words.
1:14:51
So how do you function like Christ?
1:14:52
Talk to me speaking. Everybody says speaking,
1:14:56
speaking. You are not functioning like
1:14:58
Christ. If you wake up in the morning
1:15:00
and say Niger, Niger man was what was I think they say and
1:15:08
and those wise sayings in the name of Jesus.
1:15:11
I'm a child of God. This is the day the Lord has
1:15:13
made. I show you how to function like
1:15:15
Christ. I rejoice and I'm glad in it.
1:15:17
My day is blessed. I am a blessing Genesis 12 three
1:15:21
in me. Everyone in Lagos is blessed.
1:15:24
Everyone in my workplace is blessed.
1:15:26
I have the mind of Christ. The wisdom of Christ is at work
1:15:29
as I go to the office today, all of the things that are piled up
1:15:33
on my table. I have supernatural
1:15:35
intelligence. I solve the the problems.
1:15:38
I am a creative spirit. My business is not without help
1:15:42
in the name of Jesus to function like Christ by speaking.
1:15:48
Speaking is not a Pentecostal thing.
1:15:50
It is not a Word of Faith thing. No, it is how believers
1:15:54
function. Son of Man, can these bones live
1:15:58
again? He says only thou knowest.
1:16:00
Then he said, Professor, how do you turn chaos to victory?
1:16:05
Prophecy, How do you program a day that works well?
1:16:08
Prophecy. How do you cancel negative
1:16:11
programming? Demonic infrastructures?
1:16:14
Prophecy. Someone say I will speak.
1:16:17
Say it again, Say I will speak. So from today, from January up
1:16:21
until 2026, make sure you function like a talking spirit.
1:16:26
Don't keep quiet. Don't keep quiet.
1:16:30
Don't be posting what you should be saying.
1:16:32
Leave your decision and be saying it.
1:16:36
No typing I am victorious does not make you victorious.
1:16:40
Leave all that thing and stand and shout in your room.
1:16:50
Someone learning functioning like Christ.
1:16:55
I think like Christ. I cannot think outside the ways
1:16:59
of God, and then I speak like Christ, and then I do the works
1:17:05
of Christ. What are the works of Christ?
1:17:07
Engaging profitably. Engaging in righteousness.
1:17:11
What was the Bible say about work?
1:17:12
A diligent hand shall be made fast.
1:17:15
Are we together now? Yes.
1:17:16
So the works of Christ, you are diligent.
1:17:19
What are the works of Christ, seeing to it that the nations
1:17:22
come to salvation. He desires that every man be
1:17:25
saved. He said, as my father has sent
1:17:27
me, so sent are you. That means you should be about
1:17:29
the business of salvation. You don't have to be a man of
1:17:32
God, but you are a witness. What are the works of Christ?
1:17:35
The NS expectation of creation awaited the manifestation of the
1:17:39
sons of God, revealing the glory of God in its multifaceted
1:17:43
dimensions. Whether spiritual on the pulpit,
1:17:46
whether intellectual in your office, whether relating in your
1:17:49
home, you are manifesting the works of Christ.
1:17:54
When we talk about Zawini, it's not just a blind confession.
1:17:58
We shout and yell and end a conference and return back and
1:18:02
say, wow, I have zawae. When you say I have zawae, what
1:18:06
you mean is I have been empowered to live like Christ.
1:18:09
I need to drum this before we wrap up.
1:18:12
So where it means to you, I can now live like Christ by the
1:18:17
agency of the Word and the Spirit.
1:18:19
I can now function like Christ by the agency of the Word and
1:18:22
the Spirit. Let me say that again, So wait
1:18:24
for you means by reason of receiving Jesus Christ among the
1:18:29
plethora of gifts that came with that declaration of my faith and
1:18:34
trust in Him. I have been empowered by the
1:18:37
Spirit, empowered by the word to #1 live like Christ.
1:18:42
The nature of Christ find an expression in me, but I've been
1:18:46
empowered to function like Christ, His wisdom find an
1:18:50
expression in me. Are we together and then doing
1:18:54
the walks of Jesus Christ, the walks of soul winning, the walks
1:18:58
of establishing dominion, the works of building a useful,
1:19:01
profitable life, the works of Christ?
1:19:07
For every time you submit yourself to consistent prayer,
1:19:10
For every time you submit yourself to learning the
1:19:13
principles of the Kingdom. For every time you submit
1:19:16
yourself to a corporate gathering in church like this.
1:19:19
For every time you submit yourself to serving in church.
1:19:22
I want you to have this at the back of your mind.
1:19:25
You are giving the channel for that's the way life in you to
1:19:28
find expression breathing like Christ thinking like Christ
1:19:35

1:19:40
of God rise up on your feet. Please hold hands with someone
1:19:51
by your left and right. I want us to pray just one
1:19:54
corporate prayer and then we're done for this morning.
1:19:59
I'd like you to pray for your neighbor whose hand you are
1:20:03
holding. If you have any, pray, sincere
