- 0:19Speaker 1: times in the body of Christ.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Then I will.

- 5:17Speaker 2: In Jesus' mighty name, we are praying. Help me please.
- 5:25Speaker 2: In Jesus' mighty name, we are praying. This is such
- 5:29Speaker 2: an atmosphere of God's glory. And there's a lot of possibilities.
- 5:35Speaker 2: I want you to master the culture of hosting God.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Amen.
- 5:40Speaker 2: Amen.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Aha.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Master the culture. Please be seated. Some of you are
- 5:50Speaker 2: thinking English people. So I might need my... Of course,
- 5:55Speaker 2: I trust you. You have mastered my... Please be seated.
- 6:01Speaker 2: But hold your mic. Flow for me, please. I want
- 6:08Speaker 2: to celebrate everyone. Now I can welcome you properly. So
- 6:12Speaker 2: good to see your face. I've been longing to see you.
- 6:16Speaker 2: And I'm so excited. So, so excited. I can't wait
- 6:22Speaker 2: to speak with you one-on-one and get to make new friends.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Some of you have been online on Zoom and all that. Finally,
- 6:31Speaker 2: we are going to be seen. And I'm so excited.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Please give yourself a big clap. Amen. And I want
- 6:41Speaker 2: to celebrate my friend, Pastor Sam. So good to see you.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Thank you, sir. Help me honor him. Thank you, sir.
- 6:49Speaker 2: He came all the way from Malaysia to come fellowship
- 6:52Speaker 2: with us. And it takes humility. It takes humility. Thank
- 6:58Speaker 2: you so much. I don't take you for granted. I
- 7:00Speaker 2: honor you. God bless you, sir. Please be seated. One
- 7:05Speaker 2: of the the codes that must not die in the
- 7:11Speaker 2: body of Christ is the code of brotherhood. The code
- 7:23Speaker 2: of brotherhood. I don't want to go into this story
- 7:28Speaker 2: as much. Maybe just myself and one person here knows
- 7:30Speaker 2: the story. Something happened I don't want to go into
- 7:39Speaker 2: the details. And I got a call. Said somebody died
- 7:46Speaker 2: and so on. So I checked while I was praying.
- 7:50Speaker 2: And I saw that one of my friends was close
- 7:52Speaker 2: to the person. So I called him. Said something happened.
- 7:56Speaker 2: And he said a statement. He said to me, he said,
- 8:00Speaker 2: one day, this person posted on his WhatsApp status that
- 8:04Speaker 2: if he dies now, does he have a friend that
- 8:06Speaker 2: can wake him up? He said, so I'm going to
- 8:09Speaker 2: go and do it. Because I told him I will.
- 8:11Speaker 2: So he went and drove. Kept calling him. He said,
- 8:20Speaker 2: I'm still praying. That's brotherhood. We must not lose that code.
- 8:31Speaker 2: We must never be lifted in pride in our heart.
- 8:36Speaker 2: Where the brothers used to sit and eat together Now
- 8:39Speaker 2: feel small. We must embrace it with everything that we have. Amen.
- 8:49Speaker 2: And let me quickly appeal that if you are sitting
- 8:52Speaker 2: in the auditorium and you lead a ministry, please, after
- 8:57Speaker 2: the service, just come to the front. We have our
- 9:00Speaker 2: pastors waiting for you here. We can honor you the
- 9:03Speaker 2: way you should. We have provisions for you. We can
- 9:08Speaker 2: be able to Treat you with honor. We honor everyone.
- 9:12Speaker 2: You know that, right? But you understand in context. You
- 9:17Speaker 2: are trained people. Amen. We give honor to whom it
- 9:20Speaker 2: is due. And never you say that the ministry is
- 9:24Speaker 2: just on WhatsApp. There's no just on WhatsApp. Ministry is ministry. Amen.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Anything that has life will grow. Everything that has life
- 9:34Speaker 2: will grow. Doesn't matter where it is. It's going to grow.
- 9:39Speaker 2: Say loud and clear, it will grow. Oh yes. It
- 9:44Speaker 2: will grow. Glory to Jesus. Oh, I'm so excited. Let's
- 9:49Speaker 2: give the Lord a big hand again. Oh yes. One
- 9:58Speaker 2: of the things I look forward to doing in this
- 10:00Speaker 2: conference is to impart you a spiritual gift. Amen. There
- 10:06Speaker 2: are impartations you need to run with. There are impartations
- 10:09Speaker 2: you need to run with. There are impartations you need
- 10:13Speaker 2: to run with. It's not going to be a small dose.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Do you want it? Praise God. I want to honor everyone.
- 10:24Speaker 2: I don't want to mention names again so that I'll
- 10:27Speaker 2: not leave anyone unmentioned. But you know yourselves. God bless you.
- 10:31Speaker 2: May God increase you in Jesus' name. The Lord laid
- 10:41Speaker 2: a burden in my heart and I trust God today, tonight,
- 10:44Speaker 2: tomorrow morning, we should be able to deal with it.
- 10:50Speaker 2: One of the things that is a challenge right now
- 10:54Speaker 2: is how to, or let me say the possibility of
- 11:01Speaker 2: raising believers with predictable curriculum. That is, we have come
- 11:09Speaker 2: to the point where we are not guessing. That we know.
- 11:15Speaker 2: If we can lay our hands on this body of knowledge,
- 11:18Speaker 2: anyone that passes through this curriculum, word plus spirit, will
- 11:22Speaker 2: emerge as this, certainly. Not under probability, certainly. Our work
- 11:31Speaker 2: has to be certain. When Jesus came, what he did
- 11:35Speaker 2: was not guesswork. How could he be confident to function
- 11:39Speaker 2: with twelve and lead the world with them? I know
- 11:42Speaker 2: it can't fail. That's not guesswork. That if I have
- 11:50Speaker 2: the privilege of pastoring a church, and all I will
- 11:53Speaker 2: do is to be there for three years, I can
- 11:56Speaker 2: be sure that in my absence they will do better.
- 12:00Speaker 2: The curriculum that we use in the Bible Church is
- 12:02Speaker 2: not guesswork. You can't leave a place like this and
- 12:06Speaker 2: get out and be sure it can't die. And I
- 12:11Speaker 2: want to bring to you From the things that the
- 12:13Speaker 2: Lord has revealed to me. That you need these both
- 12:17Speaker 2: as a man that is being raised. And a man
- 12:19Speaker 2: that God will use to raise people. You need to
- 12:23Speaker 2: understand that there is a body of knowledge in God
- 12:25Speaker 2: that is not a function of guesswork. If you understand this,
- 12:28Speaker 2: the result will be certain. 100 times in 100 tries.
- 12:32Speaker 2: That is, you will never have a situation where a
- 12:34Speaker 2: climate is said to be stony.
- 12:36Speaker 5: Or a climate is said to be difficult.
- 12:38Speaker 2: With that same predictable understanding, you will get results again
- 12:42Speaker 2: and again. You will raise people in different countries they
- 12:45Speaker 2: will look alike. Because the same syllabus bettered them. And
- 12:51Speaker 2: you cannot give it if you have not received it.
- 12:56Speaker 2: You can't teach it if you have not gone through it.
- 13:00Speaker 2: So this is for people. Maybe for you it is
- 13:02Speaker 2: going to be a two way thing. First you need
- 13:04Speaker 2: to understand that these are the things I need to
- 13:06Speaker 2: submit to. And some of you are in that process
- 13:08Speaker 2: of the curriculum but you don't know. Hence the reason
- 13:11Speaker 2: why you are saying God should end the heat. But
- 13:13Speaker 2: it is a fire that must end. Sometimes I see
- 13:18Speaker 2: people cry. Look at the agitation in Nigeria today. They
- 13:23Speaker 2: are saying we reject Muslim, Muslim ticket. Which Christian do
- 13:26Speaker 2: we have around the seat of power that has been
- 13:28Speaker 2: raised with a predictable syllabus that will stand out for
- 13:31Speaker 2: God the way you mean it? We are only shouting
- 13:35Speaker 2: for the name. We've not really found people. Our systems,
- 13:39Speaker 2: our church needs to begin to produce people. That when
- 13:42Speaker 2: they come out, we know. If this one ends up
- 13:44Speaker 2: as a politician, he's a Daniel. If this one ends
- 13:48Speaker 2: up as an economist, he's a Joseph. It is so predictable.
- 13:52Speaker 2: We are not going to be watching them over and
- 13:54Speaker 2: over again. We know they will not crash. Ephesians chapter
- 14:00Speaker 2: number 4. Let me show you a scripture. Ephesians chapter
- 14:05Speaker 2: number 4. We're going to read this scripture in message translation.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Let me check, is it message or amplified? Ephesians chapter
- 14:18Speaker 2: number 4. Let's go to verse 14. Ephesians 4 verse 14.
- 14:24Speaker 2: It says, no prolonged infancies amongst us, please.
- 14:31Speaker 5: We will not tolerate babes in the woods.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Small children who are an easy mark for impostors that
- 14:38Speaker 2: is what we have to do the assignment on ground
- 14:40Speaker 2: does not tolerate having people who are not maturing we
- 14:43Speaker 2: need everyone to go fast and come to the place
- 14:47Speaker 2: of responsibility those who are passed through the syllabus that
- 14:50Speaker 2: are not maturing becomes easy mark for us they become
- 14:54Speaker 2: a tool with which the devil can dangling what we
- 14:56Speaker 2: are doing most times the enemies of the church are
- 14:59Speaker 2: not outside the church they are believers who failed in
- 15:02Speaker 2: process And speak against the curriculum. Because they did not
- 15:05Speaker 2: submit to it. The same people can learn in the
- 15:08Speaker 2: same hand. And they turn out to become different things.
- 15:10Speaker 2: And as I studied into curriculums that were raised giants.
- 15:13Speaker 2: That's my topic. Curriculum of giants. As I began to
- 15:17Speaker 2: study into this curriculum. I began to ask questions. Who
- 15:20Speaker 2: are the examples I found in scriptures. That raised men.
- 15:24Speaker 2: And they had predictable outcome. They almost had the 100% case.
- 15:29Speaker 2: That everyone who passed through their hand. Emerged as giants.
- 15:33Speaker 2: I studied through and through. And I could come out
- 15:36Speaker 2: with two names. And one of the things I had
- 15:41Speaker 2: to agree. And submit to God about. Is that it
- 15:44Speaker 2: is also not about the curriculum. It's about the man.
- 15:47Speaker 2: Judas was a man under the best curriculum. But he failed.
- 15:53Speaker 2: And sometimes. Listen to what I'm saying here. Because I'm
- 15:55Speaker 2: going to show you many deep things. Sometimes. God will
- 16:00Speaker 2: still have to bring a Peter. A Paul. Who was
- 16:03Speaker 2: not part of the immediate syllabus. Because sometimes people can
- 16:08Speaker 2: be part of the process and they go up in pride.
- 16:12Speaker 2: And God will have to find another man. I'm not
- 16:14Speaker 2: saying Peter was proud. But I'm saying at some point
- 16:16Speaker 2: God couldn't carry him. Rigidity is pride. Your assignment will
- 16:22Speaker 2: demand several points of flexibility. Where you swallow your words.
- 16:26Speaker 2: Not for compromise but for growth. For growth. Certain things
- 16:31Speaker 2: you have taught you will not be able to do.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Some you will not be able to do now. At
- 16:35Speaker 2: certain point in your assignment, God will have to reverse them.
- 16:38Speaker 2: You will have to become what you have said you
- 16:40Speaker 2: can't do. And you will have to submit to it
- 16:43Speaker 2: and that's the only way out. So men of destiny
- 16:46Speaker 2: don't defend what they have said. They stand to obey
- 16:49Speaker 2: everything God has said. Because sometimes what you have said,
- 16:52Speaker 2: you spoke it in ignorance. At a point that you
- 16:54Speaker 2: have not matured to know God and what he has
- 16:56Speaker 2: for your life. Are you following what I'm saying here?
- 17:00Speaker 2: Do you understand what I'm saying? Do you understand what
- 17:03Speaker 2: I'm saying? So is there a predictable curriculum? I love
- 17:08Speaker 2: that Pastor Ayoye was here. And he shared. No, not
- 17:11Speaker 2: Pastor Ayoye. And he shared a time. If I was correct, yes.
- 17:18Speaker 2: He went to RCCJ, a Papa family. And he met
- 17:23Speaker 2: a man who was discipling a few people. It was
- 17:26Speaker 2: on a Saturday. He was discipling some people. And they
- 17:29Speaker 2: called themselves some names. They had to do it, the
- 17:31Speaker 2: state or something. And it was training them for that.
- 17:36Speaker 2: And in that small group, we had people like Obiezekwesili
- 17:40Speaker 2: come out. The vice president, Professor Yami Osinbajo, he merged.
- 17:45Speaker 2: And many people went on to become something predictable. Do
- 17:49Speaker 2: we still have that curriculum in God? That if you
- 17:52Speaker 2: are seated, you are not going to come under probability.
- 17:55Speaker 2: It is certain. If you move from point A to
- 17:58Speaker 2: the last point, this is who you will become. The
- 18:00Speaker 2: devil cannot hijack it in between if you don't cooperate
- 18:02Speaker 2: with him. Anyone who goes through this emerges as this.
- 18:05Speaker 2: It is certain. The body of knowledge is received, tested
- 18:08Speaker 2: and trusted. Does that body of knowledge exist? Yes. And
- 18:15Speaker 2: as a minister, those of you who are in ministry,
- 18:18Speaker 2: You need to understand that the church must not just
- 18:20Speaker 2: be a family. It must be a school also. That
- 18:23Speaker 2: anyone will come as long as they are at certain duration.
- 18:26Speaker 2: This is what we expect them to become. It is
- 18:29Speaker 2: garbage in, garbage out. If you fail to feed them correctly,
- 18:32Speaker 2: they will manifest wrongly. So we must understand this. We
- 18:40Speaker 2: will not fight as one that is beating their hair.
- 18:44Speaker 2: We will not fight with uncertainty. We are going to
- 18:48Speaker 2: function with a sense of precision. Wisdom that is from above.
- 18:51Speaker 5: That is pure.
- 18:54Speaker 2: We are not guess working. That if I'm functioning in
- 18:56Speaker 2: the level of wisdom. And people rise and criticize me.
- 18:59Speaker 5: I will not change.
- 19:01Speaker 2: Because of what they are saying. I know what I'm
- 19:02Speaker 2: talking about and where I'm speaking from. It's tested and trusted.
- 19:06Speaker 2: Because we have believers who turn at every provocation. Because
- 19:11Speaker 2: they are only imitating. They have not received. They are
- 19:15Speaker 2: copying what they saw someone do. they have not received it.
- 19:19Speaker 2: They have not received it. They have not received it.
- 19:22Speaker 2: And if you as a person, either a leader, a pastor,
- 19:25Speaker 2: an apostle, sit down and you allow God to take
- 19:28Speaker 2: you through this curriculum, you should come out as a
- 19:31Speaker 2: mighty man. And I began to ask myself a question.
- 19:34Speaker 2: What did David teach them in the cave of Hadulam?
- 19:40Speaker 2: Because two names stood out. When I look at quality
- 19:43Speaker 2: of shepherds, One in the old and one in the new.
- 19:46Speaker 2: David and Jesus. It seems as though everyone that passed away.
- 19:50Speaker 2: through their hands succeeded. Jesus was speaking in John 17.
- 19:55Speaker 2: He said, all that you have given to me, I
- 19:57Speaker 2: have kept. That's a very difficult statement. All I have
- 20:02Speaker 2: kept except for the son of perdition. That was not
- 20:05Speaker 2: a statement of three years, three and a half years.
- 20:07Speaker 2: That was a statement of 33 and a half years.
- 20:11Speaker 2: And it's in the 33 and a half years of
- 20:12Speaker 2: my life, everything you have placed in my hands I
- 20:15Speaker 2: have kept. David says something similar. When I watched my
- 20:18Speaker 2: father's sheep, a lion and a bear came. I took
- 20:20Speaker 2: the sheep out of their mouth and devoured them. Nothing
- 20:24Speaker 2: has died in my hands before. That people will not
- 20:30Speaker 2: come around you and one becomes terrible and another one
- 20:32Speaker 2: becomes dangerous. We understand that likely the onus is on them.
- 20:36Speaker 2: But that you too have received something. You have received
- 20:41Speaker 2: from God. Certain ordinance. That it is predictable. We are
- 20:46Speaker 2: not saying come. Because we want crowd. If you come
- 20:49Speaker 2: this is who you will become. When we say come
- 20:51Speaker 2: and your life will be helped. We are not saying so.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Because we want the chairs to be filled. We truly
- 20:55Speaker 2: have the kit it takes to equip you. That when
- 21:00Speaker 2: you come and join our camp. It is not that
- 21:03Speaker 2: you have come to fill space. You will know it.
- 21:07Speaker 2: That this is what your life will become. It is
- 21:10Speaker 2: not a joke. How can we have hospitals that are
- 21:14Speaker 2: not certain about their procedures? How can a doctor open
- 21:18Speaker 2: you up and he doesn't know what to do next?
- 21:21Speaker 2: How do we have pastors, leaders, who are not certain
- 21:25Speaker 2: about what to do with the destinies under them? It
- 21:28Speaker 2: must be given to you from above. That is what
- 21:32Speaker 2: you will now walk with. That is what you will
- 21:36Speaker 2: wage warfare with. This is what is going to be
- 21:39Speaker 2: the template. This is what is going to be the
- 21:41Speaker 2: guideline for every activity. That if I raise men from
- 21:45Speaker 2: 10 different territories, people will tell them apart because they
- 21:49Speaker 2: are different. There are universities in Nigeria today that when
- 21:54Speaker 2: you are a product of those schools, it looks as
- 21:55Speaker 2: though you are their favorite when you apply for jobs
- 21:58Speaker 2: because they can testify of the curriculum, the process that
- 22:03Speaker 2: bets you. So while just standing here from seeing the university,
- 22:07Speaker 2: they are proof of you. Can we also have believers
- 22:12Speaker 2: that when you know, they looked at the disciples, they
- 22:16Speaker 2: saw they were unlearned, but they took note of them,
- 22:18Speaker 2: that they had been with Christ. They knew only one
- 22:23Speaker 2: person could have produced this quality of man, Christ. Hence Christians.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Hence Christians. They knew they were not learned. What they
- 22:32Speaker 2: were saying was not because they went to a school.
- 22:35Speaker 2: They knew their colleagues that went to schools together. But
- 22:39Speaker 2: they knew these ones were not there. They said the
- 22:42Speaker 2: only way this kind would have been out is that
- 22:46Speaker 2: they have been with Christ. So when Jesus said, follow me,
- 22:49Speaker 2: he did not say, I may make you. He said,
- 22:51Speaker 2: I will make you. That is, if you follow, you
- 22:54Speaker 2: will certainly be made. That is a predictable statement. That
- 22:58Speaker 2: if you follow me, this is what you will become.
- 23:00Speaker 2: If you follow my instructions and bind them on the
- 23:03Speaker 2: tablet of your heart, any man who does this will
- 23:05Speaker 2: come out on the other side as this. If you
- 23:09Speaker 2: have not gotten the curriculum, you can't say that word,
- 23:11Speaker 2: follow me. If you say it, you have wasted your lives.
- 23:14Speaker 2: And this is my prayer every day. That if any
- 23:16Speaker 2: man follows me, will their lives be certain? Will it
- 23:20Speaker 2: be sure what God will have them become? Through teachings, prayers,
- 23:24Speaker 2: and ministry of the Spirit. Will these men be bettered
- 23:27Speaker 2: according to their kind of destiny? So we must be
- 23:33Speaker 2: able to have a system that when people enter, this
- 23:36Speaker 2: is what they are coming out as.
- 23:38Speaker 5: Not under probability.
- 23:40Speaker 2: It is certain.
- 23:42Speaker 5: Say it again, it is certain. Say it again, it
- 23:44Speaker 5: is certain. Say it again, it is certain.
- 23:50Speaker 2: Just like our schools that produce engineers, doctors, accountants, And
- 23:55Speaker 2: now someone can say, I've gone to study medicine. And
- 23:58Speaker 2: you can trust the person with your life. Not just
- 24:01Speaker 2: for the title, but for the curriculum that produced this person.
- 24:04Speaker 2: That the body of knowledge, practicalities they've gone through, my
- 24:07Speaker 2: case will not be unusual. Now I can go and
- 24:10Speaker 2: sleep and trust this doctor to operate on me and
- 24:13Speaker 2: know that my life is safe. This is the same
- 24:18Speaker 2: way you should be sure that God can begin to
- 24:20Speaker 2: recommend you as an institution. Go under him. If any
- 24:25Speaker 2: man is to become this in their time, go under him.
- 24:27Speaker 2: You will come out as this. I can vouch. God said,
- 24:30Speaker 2: I know Abraham, my servant. He will command his household
- 24:35Speaker 2: after him. That is, if you follow Abraham, you will follow,
- 24:37Speaker 2: you will come after him. God said, I'm recommending you
- 24:40Speaker 2: to a school. Do you understand what I'm saying? What
- 24:44Speaker 2: I'm telling you is that God can recommend men to men.
- 24:47Speaker 2: There is a man who doesn't have and God is
- 24:49Speaker 2: taking from what he doesn't have and give it to
- 24:50Speaker 2: the one who has.
- 24:52Speaker 5: Because the one who has is faithful. And God is.
- 24:55Speaker 2: Bringing more people, more people, more people. People who sleep
- 24:58Speaker 2: and have visions and see God leading them, go to
- 25:01Speaker 2: that man. What kind of thing is that? What have
- 25:05Speaker 2: you become that God will tell a man in his dream,
- 25:07Speaker 2: you better get up and fasten yourself to his chariot.
- 25:11Speaker 2: That man is going to pass through your place once.
- 25:14Speaker 2: You must locate him and join his company. You may
- 25:17Speaker 2: not have all the access once, but follow. Eat from
- 25:20Speaker 2: the crumbs. You will come to a point you begin
- 25:21Speaker 2: to eat at the tables. And when you do so,
- 25:23Speaker 2: you will emerge. You will become certainly what I have
- 25:27Speaker 2: in mind. Are you following what I'm saying here? You
- 25:30Speaker 2: must understand that. When it comes to increase, it is
- 25:32Speaker 2: God who brings it. He recommends men to quality men.
- 25:37Speaker 2: So as a man in a territory, you must understand
- 25:39Speaker 2: if you do your homework well, God can appear to
- 25:41Speaker 2: people in dreams and visions and tell them go to
- 25:44Speaker 2: that church. God's hand is not so short. He can
- 25:46Speaker 2: provide for your ministries and bring millions and those who
- 25:49Speaker 2: have it. How come many of them keep having visions
- 25:52Speaker 2: that they should go to social and social ministries when
- 25:54Speaker 2: they have more than enough? But because God knows that
- 25:56Speaker 2: those grounds have become so fertile, something will come back.
- 26:01Speaker 2: It is one thing to be in need. It is
- 26:03Speaker 2: another thing to be a fertile ground. Once you become,
- 26:06Speaker 2: God will make you an institution that people will have
- 26:07Speaker 2: to give to for them to have certain things. It
- 26:09Speaker 2: is the commandment. At that point, you can't stop it.
- 26:14Speaker 2: You can't stop it. And I've found this principle to
- 26:16Speaker 2: be true. That people can reach out to you from
- 26:20Speaker 2: different nations of the world. And said, I was trusting
- 26:23Speaker 2: God for so and so thing. And God said, I
- 26:25Speaker 2: should be committed to you, sir.
- 26:27Speaker 5: It must be.
- 26:27Speaker 2: And I'm also committed to something bigger than money. If
- 26:32Speaker 2: I chase what every other person is chasing, there's no
- 26:34Speaker 2: point everyone adding to my camp. It must be that
- 26:38Speaker 2: I burnt my bridges. Many sons of the prophet followed Elijah.
- 26:44Speaker 2: But there was a man that followed with a different heart. Elisha.
- 26:47Speaker 2: And I've said this. You cannot emerge under a leader
- 26:50Speaker 2: you don't love. The quality of relationships shows the quality
- 26:55Speaker 2: of his heart towards the person. Shows the quality of
- 27:00Speaker 2: their heart. Check those who follow. And follow grumbling. And
- 27:04Speaker 2: like Ezekiel 33, 31 says, that they speak against you
- 27:06Speaker 2: in their walls and in their cities.
- 27:08Speaker 5: Say, let's go sit before him.
- 27:10Speaker 2: It's like unto us a man who brings sounds of entertainment.
- 27:12Speaker 2: He said, and they come and sit before you as
- 27:14Speaker 2: my people come. And they listen to you. But they'll
- 27:17Speaker 2: hear the words of your mouth, but they will not
- 27:19Speaker 2: do them. For with their mouth they show much love,
- 27:22Speaker 2: but their heart turns after their own covetousness. Another translation says,
- 27:25Speaker 2: what they care about is just merely getting ahead. Are
- 27:32Speaker 2: you following what I'm saying here? Sometimes you are the
- 27:34Speaker 2: one who will decide that the grace upon my spiritual
- 27:36Speaker 2: family must work for me. It must produce the kind
- 27:39Speaker 2: of man I should become. You cannot go through any
- 27:42Speaker 2: curriculum if you miss classes. No. Because the place of
- 27:48Speaker 2: interpretation is through those classes. The instrument that God will
- 27:51Speaker 2: use to raise men is the word. And that's why
- 27:54Speaker 2: you must understand you are a leader of a ministry.
- 27:57Speaker 2: The tool that will mold your people is the word.
- 28:00Speaker 2: The quality of the word that means the quality of
- 28:02Speaker 2: the people. You cannot separate your imagines from the quality
- 28:06Speaker 2: of the word. So you want to insist that nobody
- 28:09Speaker 2: miss classes. You want to insist that you have students
- 28:13Speaker 2: who are Berian. A culture must be built in that house.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Beyond the culture of just coming to church. They must
- 28:19Speaker 2: go back and sit with it. Hence, it will look
- 28:24Speaker 2: like the same grace is not available for all. The
- 28:27Speaker 2: grace is strong, it is potent, but only few are
- 28:30Speaker 2: seeing it. And I know that it takes a lot
- 28:34Speaker 2: of time to listen to a man before you hear him.
- 28:36Speaker 2: It takes a lot of time to listen to a
- 28:38Speaker 2: man to hear him. You will have to crack the
- 28:40Speaker 2: walls of defenses in your heart. The reason for repetition
- 28:45Speaker 2: in listening is not for the message, it's for you.
- 28:48Speaker 2: The word is sharp enough, but your heart is dull.
- 28:52Speaker 2: And there will be a need for you to build
- 28:55Speaker 2: the culture Of.
- 28:56Speaker 5: Listening and listening and listening again.
- 29:00Speaker 2: One day Pastor Chris said, why is it that so
- 29:04Speaker 2: many preachers can sit under the same leader and emerge
- 29:08Speaker 2: with different quality of results, both in the supernatural and
- 29:11Speaker 2: in the material world? And he said, it's very simple.
- 29:14Speaker 2: Some belong to the category of those who are listening
- 29:16Speaker 2: very well. Others are not listening very well. I said,
- 29:20Speaker 2: is it that simple? And I found out it is true.
- 29:23Speaker 2: Every secret. I will bet a new level comes to
- 29:26Speaker 2: a word. What are you listening?
- 29:31Speaker 5: Everything.
- 29:33Speaker 2: Sometimes it is not the statement. It is what the
- 29:36Speaker 2: Holy Ghost said. Because you heard the statement. Do you
- 29:40Speaker 2: understand what I'm saying? If you don't hear the statement,
- 29:42Speaker 2: you will not hear the sequel. Sometimes you will hear it.
- 29:46Speaker 2: Then it meets up with something on your inside. Then
- 29:48Speaker 2: something is born from that. And sometimes a word is
- 29:52Speaker 2: not even going in a direction. And from those things
- 29:55Speaker 2: that looks proverbial, you know this is the next thing
- 29:59Speaker 2: to do. There was a year I went on a retreat.
- 30:02Speaker 2: I go on retreat towards the ending of every year
- 30:05Speaker 2: in preparation for the new year.
- 30:08Speaker 5: And I asked God for what he will have us do.
- 30:10Speaker 5: And I messaged my friend.
- 30:12Speaker 2: I said, I have found the secret to building supernatural churches.
- 30:17Speaker 2: I said, I will not step out of this place
- 30:20Speaker 2: if I did not find that secret. I said, I
- 30:23Speaker 2: have found the secret. And as we're entering the following year,
- 30:27Speaker 2: I was entering with a predictable download.
- 30:30Speaker 5: Knowing that what I'm doing is not that it may work.
- 30:33Speaker 5: It will work.
- 30:36Speaker 2: And even if the man trusted to do it, failed
- 30:39Speaker 2: to do it, the quality of what I've done will
- 30:42Speaker 2: be able to make me bring a worker and it
- 30:44Speaker 2: will still work. And that's why in Spirit of Light Church,
- 30:47Speaker 2: we never lack men. There is a predictable curriculum. And
- 30:56Speaker 2: I can tell you, and I say what I'm saying
- 30:58Speaker 2: with humility, you need a body of knowledge. You need
- 31:03Speaker 2: a body of knowledge. You need a body of knowledge.
- 31:13Speaker 2: Now when you step out to a place and say
- 31:17Speaker 2: to them, well I'm new in this city and I
- 31:19Speaker 2: just want to worship in this church. And they ask you,
- 31:22Speaker 2: where have you been worshipping before? said by the grace
- 31:24Speaker 2: of God, I served under Apostle Lazarus. You what? Said
- 31:28Speaker 2: I served under him. You what? Said I served under him.
- 31:30Speaker 2: We can trust you. We can trust you. We can
- 31:34Speaker 2: trust you. Because we know where you are coming from.
- 31:37Speaker 2: We can trust you. One of my sons went to
- 31:41Speaker 2: see a pastor concerning the girl he wanted to marry.
- 31:45Speaker 2: And I said to them, when you get to that place,
- 31:47Speaker 2: tell them you are a son to Apostle Lazarus. And
- 31:51Speaker 2: when he told them, he said, ah, you have our
- 31:53Speaker 2: daughter already. You have our daughter already. He's a big
- 31:57Speaker 2: friend of our house. We have our daughter already. They
- 32:00Speaker 2: could trust him. That where you are coming from. We've
- 32:03Speaker 2: seen the kind of men coming out of there. This
- 32:06Speaker 2: is the reason why we put our bodies under. So
- 32:10Speaker 2: that our image will not be dried outside. And shame
- 32:13Speaker 2: will to us affect those that are coming. And they
- 32:15Speaker 2: will say we know your father. This is the reason
- 32:19Speaker 2: why no matter the pressure. We rather cry in the
- 32:21Speaker 2: secret place. And say I will not sell off. Because
- 32:26Speaker 2: we are an institution. And shame must not come. If
- 32:28Speaker 2: not all our students will be affected. You must understand
- 32:32Speaker 2: what will happen when the head crash. The entire body
- 32:35Speaker 2: is ridiculed. And that's why you pray for your leaders.
- 32:40Speaker 2: That's why you pray. That no matter the pressure I
- 32:43Speaker 2: go through in life. I will try and lock myself up.
- 32:46Speaker 2: Father you who made the heavens and earth. Unto you.
- 32:49Speaker 5: That is able to keep us from falling.
- 32:51Speaker 2: Now I've come. Help me. Are you following what I'm
- 32:55Speaker 2: saying here? By a prophet, God rescued the Israelites of Egypt.
- 32:58Speaker 2: By a prophet, they were preserved. A time will come
- 33:01Speaker 2: that a man will become a hiding place. He will
- 33:04Speaker 2: become a hiding place. That those who go through under him,
- 33:07Speaker 2: they are truly hidden. That everything called certain weaknesses can die.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Because you're under certain coverings. Not just for the quality
- 33:15Speaker 2: of teaching, but for the life that burns it. That
- 33:18Speaker 2: when you think about it, it dies. Because curriculum goes
- 33:22Speaker 2: beyond just what is said. It has to do with
- 33:25Speaker 2: the environment also. There's an environment that is compatible with learning.
- 33:29Speaker 2: There's an environment that is not. And our prayer is
- 33:32Speaker 2: that we become that environment. And many times people, I
- 33:36Speaker 2: remember one of my daughters told me, and we're still
- 33:40Speaker 2: going to go back to those practices by the grace
- 33:42Speaker 2: of God.
- 33:43Speaker 5: I said, I have a brother, he's a cultist, he's
- 33:44Speaker 5: this and that.
- 33:45Speaker 2: I said, bring him. Let him come. I am too certain.
- 33:50Speaker 2: You cannot be in this house. And not change. You cannot.
- 33:55Speaker 5: We have our normal devotions.
- 33:56Speaker 2: Our prayers. Everything we're doing. There was no special administration
- 34:00Speaker 2: to him. There was no special counseling. There was no
- 34:02Speaker 2: special anything. And one day we're praying. And I looked
- 34:05Speaker 2: for him. I didn't see him. And I looked behind
- 34:08Speaker 2: the chair. And I saw him crying. He was crying
- 34:11Speaker 2: to God and he was speaking in tongues. And he
- 34:13Speaker 2: was saying, oh God, use me. Can we build an
- 34:16Speaker 2: environment that is certain to produce certain kind of men?
- 34:19Speaker 2: That no matter what the devil has done, just let
- 34:22Speaker 2: them come. No matter the prayerlessness, let them come. This
- 34:29Speaker 2: environment is certain. Anyone under this cloud becomes like this.
- 34:36Speaker 2: That no matter the confusion, When we say come to
- 34:39Speaker 2: sphere of light church, we are not just inviting to
- 34:41Speaker 2: a church like, I say to our pastors, we have
- 34:43Speaker 2: no business spreading if we are not increasing, if we
- 34:46Speaker 2: are not making people's life better. There is no point.
- 34:49Speaker 2: The church is not a business center. We are not
- 34:52Speaker 2: spreading for spreading's sake. If we have no impact in
- 34:55Speaker 2: any territory, there is no point going there. And I
- 34:57Speaker 2: can come to a point that if new, if first
- 34:59Speaker 2: timers come to our church, I can know they are fortunate.
- 35:02Speaker 2: Because I know I have a brief time to spend
- 35:04Speaker 2: there before I go. It must be that you matter
- 35:06Speaker 2: to God. And when I place a man there, the
- 35:11Speaker 2: man also knows where I'm coming from. For you to
- 35:14Speaker 2: be here, you must mean something to God. We are
- 35:17Speaker 2: not certain.
- 35:19Speaker 5: Can I step a bit further?
- 35:21Speaker 2: Now when I come face to face with sickness, somebody
- 35:23Speaker 2: on wheelchair, I'm not thinking whether you'll be healed. I've
- 35:27Speaker 2: received a body of wisdom plus anointing that if I
- 35:30Speaker 2: truly pray for you, indeed, you will get up.
- 35:33Speaker 5: It is not that you may get up. It is
- 35:34Speaker 5: not that you'll be healed slowly. You will get up.
- 35:37Speaker 2: I heard Pastor Chris sharing a story. Ben Hinn, sharing
- 35:42Speaker 2: a story. About a time, Pastor Chris came to visit
- 35:45Speaker 2: him in America and got to his house. And I said, what?
- 35:51Speaker 5: Got to his house.
- 35:52Speaker 2: And I think they decided to visit someone that has
- 35:54Speaker 2: been sick. Ben Hinn said he has been praying for
- 35:57Speaker 2: this person for a while. He will go there and
- 35:59Speaker 2: pray for the person. And yes, it does happen. Even
- 36:01Speaker 2: with anointed men. And he said that day when Pastor
- 36:04Speaker 2: Chris came, he looked at the person on a wheelchair
- 36:07Speaker 2: and looked at the person and said, get up. And
- 36:09Speaker 2: that was it. And the fellow got up. And Benny
- 36:12Speaker 2: said he was shocked. He didn't pray. He didn't lead songs.
- 36:15Speaker 2: He said he would need songs to ascend. How do
- 36:20Speaker 2: you just enter? And looked at him. I said, get up.
- 36:23Speaker 2: You may not understand the story of Joshua, the son
- 36:26Speaker 2: of Benny. How God hastened his conversion. It was when
- 36:29Speaker 2: Pastor Chris went to his house for the first time.
- 36:32Speaker 2: And the boy came to meet him. And he stood
- 36:34Speaker 2: before the boy. And he looked into his eyes. And
- 36:37Speaker 2: looked into his eyes. And the boy busted out in tongues.
- 36:41Speaker 2: What kind of life is that? Can it be that predictable?
- 36:44Speaker 2: What kind of order is that? That if I step
- 36:47Speaker 2: to a place I know, I come with an impact
- 36:50Speaker 2: of the Spirit. It will spread and smear on anyone
- 36:53Speaker 2: who dares to come close. I'm not saying potters will come.
- 36:57Speaker 5: I've become a potter.
- 36:59Speaker 2: An atmosphere myself. I've become an atmosphere of the spirit.
- 37:03Speaker 2: Now when you come around me, you'll find certain network.
- 37:06Speaker 2: It is not a guesswork.
- 37:07Speaker 5: It is a must.
- 37:09Speaker 2: You can't sit down and not get insight. He said
- 37:14Speaker 2: when the son Joshua said, who is that man? Who
- 37:18Speaker 2: is that man? He just looked at him. And the
- 37:21Speaker 2: boy blotted out in tongues. There is a predictable way, sir.
- 37:24Speaker 5: Please be seated.
- 37:25Speaker 2: There is a predictable life. Benin was shocked. Watching healing school.
- 37:32Speaker 2: In believers love world. And he just saw the man
- 37:35Speaker 2: of God come out. And we step out. And we
- 37:38Speaker 2: were lined up in sickness. HIV, AIDS, cancer, anything. And
- 37:43Speaker 2: he will just go to them. You are free. Out
- 37:46Speaker 2: of him.
- 37:49Speaker 5: And it is not fluke. Hundred cases healing. It is
- 37:55Speaker 5: not fluke.
- 37:56Speaker 2: People can tell that where medical knowledge fails, if I
- 38:00Speaker 2: can get to meet him, it is predictable.
- 38:03Speaker 5: The woman with the short blood did not say I
- 38:05Speaker 5: may be healed.
- 38:06Speaker 2: Said if I can hold the hem of his garment,
- 38:08Speaker 2: I know if I can, just when I can, it
- 38:12Speaker 2: is certain. And it proved to be true. It proved
- 38:17Speaker 2: to be true. It proved to be true. People can say,
- 38:20Speaker 2: if I can come to that church and it's there,
- 38:23Speaker 2: I will be healed. And when they come, God will
- 38:25Speaker 2: prove them to be true. Somebody can invite a friend
- 38:28Speaker 2: and say, join our prayer. And watch. The moment you join,
- 38:31Speaker 2: you'll get your word. The man of God does not
- 38:33Speaker 2: do anything. As the fellow is logging in, first statement,
- 38:36Speaker 2: there's somebody here. Predictable. We fast, we pray, we study
- 38:43Speaker 2: so we can be that sharp. Our cutting edge has
- 38:47Speaker 2: to be sharp. Because some assignment can wait. It requires
- 38:50Speaker 2: men who are sharp in the spirit.
- 38:53Speaker 5: God's emergency systems.
- 38:56Speaker 2: I shared the story. I've shared many stories around that.
- 39:00Speaker 2: And I can tell you for free, I cannot afford
- 39:03Speaker 2: to live my life like every other person. Almost every
- 39:06Speaker 2: time I go on the road, it's point for intercession.
- 39:09Speaker 2: It's just like God has been waiting for me to pass.
- 39:12Speaker 2: Stop people who pass and say so-and-so person. That is
- 39:14Speaker 2: his name. Pray for him. This is what the devil
- 39:17Speaker 2: is planning. 100 times out of 100 situations, ask them
- 39:20Speaker 2: for their name. They will tell you that's my name.
- 39:23Speaker 2: It's not a realm of guesswork. There's a realm where
- 39:26Speaker 2: prophetic is not maybe. If I say there's somebody I
- 39:29Speaker 2: know what is coming, out It may be that the
- 39:31Speaker 2: fellow is sleeping But that the fellow is not there
- 39:32Speaker 2: is a lie of the devil I told people don't
- 39:35Speaker 2: pity me when I prophesy I say this fellow is
- 39:37Speaker 2: not coming out Maybe I post you he's wrong Wrong where?
- 39:42Speaker 2: It's the water at the ankle That's the point where
- 39:47Speaker 2: it can be mixed Wrong how? We can stand and
- 39:51Speaker 2: stay on it. I say I know you are here.
- 39:53Speaker 5: You may be afraid.
- 39:54Speaker 2: And you see it exactly so. There is an exactitude
- 39:57Speaker 2: with which we must function. It is predictable.
- 40:02Speaker 5: Not like you are saying. Maybe I didn't get it.
- 40:05Speaker 2: No.
- 40:05Speaker 5: You can't take the world for Jesus like that.
- 40:08Speaker 2: We can't. We can't.
- 40:13Speaker 5: Please be seated. People ask me. When they watch the
- 40:16Speaker 5: healing meetings.
- 40:18Speaker 2: How does these things happen? Maybe sometimes they do feel
- 40:21Speaker 2: the way he's even talking and the way he's praying.
- 40:23Speaker 2: Will anyone be healed here this morning? Only for you
- 40:26Speaker 2: to begin to hear. Somebody's leg grew out. Somebody's lumps disappeared.
- 40:29Speaker 2: Somebody said, I placed my hands on the lumps and
- 40:32Speaker 2: I saw it melting. Now when we say come and
- 40:35Speaker 2: be healed, we are not saying maybe there will be no,
- 40:37Speaker 2: we are saying as long as we pray, there will
- 40:39Speaker 2: be answers. Ask people, sometimes they tell me somebody has cancer.
- 40:46Speaker 2: Come and pray for this person. I wait till I
- 40:49Speaker 2: see that light. And I want to have control on
- 40:52Speaker 2: the environment. And I tell them, I prayed for this person.
- 40:55Speaker 2: Control the environment. Make sure life enters. Somebody has diabetes.
- 41:00Speaker 2: This is what we are doing. I prayed now. But
- 41:02Speaker 2: make sure this fellow is not left alone for fear
- 41:05Speaker 2: to minister. We can be exact. We can be exact.
- 41:11Speaker 2: The same way doctors will prescribe drugs, we can prescribe
- 41:14Speaker 2: activities of the spirit that will take care of any plague.
- 41:17Speaker 5: Any plague.
- 41:18Speaker 2: Whether masturbation or whatever, they can be cured under a
- 41:21Speaker 2: predictable curriculum. Enough of fighting as one beating the head.
- 41:29Speaker 2: And people can no longer trust us. Because we don't
- 41:32Speaker 2: even know what works. And it looks like we are scrambling.
- 41:35Speaker 2: And once in a while, when you have 100 keys
- 41:37Speaker 2: to open the door, and they try and try and
- 41:39Speaker 2: try and find one, they will not.
- 41:41Speaker 5: Wait to go and learn what key opened this door.
- 41:44Speaker 2: So when next I stand here, I don't have to
- 41:46Speaker 2: use 99 before I find the one. I can know
- 41:48Speaker 2: exactly which one. That if I stretch this, it will open.
- 41:54Speaker 2: I tell God, send me to dry territories to prove
- 41:57Speaker 2: again and again that there are no dry territories. There
- 42:01Speaker 2: are no dry territories and everywhere i go i tell
- 42:04Speaker 2: the people in no time you will not be able
- 42:07Speaker 2: to tell where people are coming from they will become
- 42:09Speaker 2: because i know once the school is right the recruitment
- 42:12Speaker 2: is sure that they'll be recruited is a sure matter
- 42:19Speaker 2: forget about strategies let's do what we have to do
- 42:22Speaker 2: in the spirit you will not know where they are
- 42:24Speaker 2: coming from god will export the world beyond your shores
- 42:29Speaker 2: these things many of these people just stress themselves Become
- 42:32Speaker 2: that hiding place. See if God will not bring men.
- 42:35Speaker 2: How can God trust a David with those kind of men?
- 42:38Speaker 2: Do you know how they came? They were indebted. They
- 42:41Speaker 2: were broke. They didn't look like it. They came into Hadulam.
- 42:46Speaker 2: Imagine on the other side. As mighty men. Each of
- 42:49Speaker 2: them is dangerous. You wonder how one man can be
- 42:53Speaker 2: trusted with such men of might. The Bible begins to
- 42:56Speaker 2: describe one of them that fought till his hand grew weary.
- 42:59Speaker 2: And sword stayed in his hand. Cleft to his hands.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Men who look like beasts. Who erased them?
- 43:07Speaker 5: What kind of syllables? What kind of syllables did he use?
- 43:12Speaker 2: Who erased them? What did he teach them? What did
- 43:14Speaker 2: they see? Why would David say, I feel like drinking
- 43:17Speaker 2: water from the well of Bethlehem. At the gate of Bethlehem.
- 43:20Speaker 2: And they will risk their life. And break through camps.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Enter to bring the water. And come back. The water
- 43:26Speaker 2: didn't spill. Out where you kill and the water didn't
- 43:28Speaker 2: pour away. What kind of men are these? And he
- 43:33Speaker 2: began to mention them. And you will know at that point,
- 43:38Speaker 2: you will understand. That there must have been a level
- 43:41Speaker 2: of humility and approach to the description of David. He
- 43:44Speaker 2: himself must have been dangerous. How can the Bible say
- 43:47Speaker 2: the man never turned his back in battle? Not once.
- 43:50Speaker 2: Until his son was after him. Because he made a mistake.
- 43:53Speaker 2: He never ran from any enemy. All the battles he fought,
- 43:56Speaker 2: he won. All the battles he fought, he won. When
- 44:02Speaker 2: they were describing those men, were these the men that
- 44:04Speaker 2: were once broke?
- 44:05Speaker 5: Listen to what I'm saying here. Everyone under you that.
- 44:08Speaker 2: Seems to be giving you a problem, have a quality
- 44:09Speaker 2: of life that your grace should make manifest. Say, ah,
- 44:13Speaker 2: when they come to church, they are so broke. They
- 44:15Speaker 2: are the ones that, eh, eh, when they come to
- 44:17Speaker 2: church now, we even have to go and put food
- 44:19Speaker 2: in their house. They are stressing our offering and time.
- 44:21Speaker 2: Understand that. Beyond what you give, there is something upon
- 44:24Speaker 2: your life. Raw material is calling to manifestation the grace
- 44:27Speaker 2: of David. That Davidic anointing is going to invite men
- 44:32Speaker 2: who are not looking like it. If you are a man,
- 44:37Speaker 2: you are marrying a woman, she's so wrong, you don't
- 44:38Speaker 2: understand her. There is a grace upon your life to
- 44:40Speaker 2: mature her. You say, what kind of woman have I married?
- 44:44Speaker 2: Understand that you are a David. And God has trusted
- 44:46Speaker 2: you with this person. She is to become a mighty woman.
- 44:50Speaker 2: Do you understand what I'm saying? When I was marrying
- 44:52Speaker 2: my wife, I checked her track record, but I knew
- 44:55Speaker 2: she would become more. I knew we cannot be married
- 44:58Speaker 2: and you would do less. I knew exactly what to do.
- 45:01Speaker 2: It was not guesswork.
- 45:02Speaker 5: And where we are right now, I know exactly what
- 45:05Speaker 5: I'm doing for her to move to another level.
- 45:06Speaker 2: It is not guesswork. That if I look at a
- 45:14Speaker 2: man and say, I want to take you serious and
- 45:15Speaker 2: I want to bring you close. I know I can
- 45:17Speaker 2: do that for six months. If we do that for
- 45:19Speaker 2: six months, this is what you should be. If you
- 45:22Speaker 2: follow well. Not what you may be. This is what
- 45:26Speaker 2: you should be. Do you understand what I'm saying here?
- 45:33Speaker 2: So see yourself as an hospital and see those coming
- 45:36Speaker 2: to you as patients. Are they taking a risk or
- 45:40Speaker 2: their life is preserved? Is God taking a risk by
- 45:44Speaker 2: sending his own to you or their life is preserved?
- 45:48Speaker 2: Are you following what I'm saying here? If you are
- 45:50Speaker 2: a woman and a man marries you at this level,
- 45:53Speaker 2: has God risked his destiny with you? One time, one
- 45:58Speaker 2: of my leaders shared a story. Of a woman that
- 46:00Speaker 2: went with her husband to buy fuel at a filling station.
- 46:08Speaker 2: And they met a man. And she was pointing to
- 46:11Speaker 2: her husband. That's my ex. They greeted and said, what
- 46:15Speaker 2: are you doing now? Well done, thank you for this
- 46:18Speaker 2: and all that. And they left. And she said to
- 46:20Speaker 2: her husband, that's my ex. And the husband said, wow.
- 46:23Speaker 2: Thank God you married me. If not by now, you
- 46:26Speaker 2: would have been the wife of a petrol attendant. She said, no.
- 46:29Speaker 2: If I had married him, you would be the one
- 46:30Speaker 2: seated by this chair.
- 46:32Speaker 5: I know who I am. That's the meaning.
- 46:34Speaker 2: I cannot marry a man and he goes down. You
- 46:37Speaker 2: must decide that. You must say, God, if my husband crashes,
- 46:40Speaker 2: ask me. That's his statement. You must have women who
- 46:43Speaker 2: can say that again. And I know I have the
- 46:46Speaker 2: Esther anointing. He cannot crash as long as we are here.
- 46:50Speaker 2: I will pray and fast. I will hold him. It
- 46:54Speaker 2: must be that certain. And that's why you must not
- 46:57Speaker 2: fast yourself with ungodly people. They will be easy tool
- 47:00Speaker 2: for the devil to deploy. They've not known the ways
- 47:03Speaker 2: of prayer. They can't stand in the days of battle.
- 47:06Speaker 2: Do you understand what I'm saying? Do you understand what
- 47:09Speaker 2: I'm saying? Let me show you scriptures. Ezekiel chapter number 34. Oh,
- 47:24Speaker 2: thank you, Jesus. How can you walk when you don't
- 47:30Speaker 2: know the ways of the wind? How can you fly
- 47:36Speaker 2: when you don't know the ways of the Spirit? How
- 47:42Speaker 2: can you run when you don't know the ways of
- 47:46Speaker 2: the wind? His pirates walk in you. It's bringing everything.
- 47:56Speaker 2: It's changing everything. In obedience. It's transforming everything. Swallow your
- 48:07Speaker 2: pride tonight. Come to the school of the spirit. Don't
- 48:22Speaker 2: you know. In his hands.
- 48:24Speaker 6: Is the key to eternal love. A lead to him.
- 48:29Speaker 6: A lead to thee. Until his will is done. He's
- 48:34Speaker 6: at work in you.
- 48:36Speaker 2: He's bringing everything. He's transforming everything.
- 48:52Speaker 7: Hear us now, O God of all the earth. As
- 48:58Speaker 7: we pray. As we pray. Hear us now, O God
- 49:07Speaker 7: of all the earth. As we pray. As we pray.
- 49:16Speaker 7: As the days are drawing near. There must be certainty.
- 49:19Speaker 7: There must be certainty. There must be certainty. We must
- 49:23Speaker 7: be certain. We cannot be fighting as one beating the hair.
- 49:28Speaker 2: All over the world. Your spirit is moving. All over
- 49:39Speaker 2: the world. As the prophet said it should be. All
- 49:48Speaker 2: over the world.
- 49:51Speaker 8: There's a mighty revelation.
- 49:56Speaker 2: Of the glory of the Lord.
- 50:01Speaker 3: As the waters cover the sea.
- 50:07Speaker 2: All over the world.
- 50:11Speaker 3: Your spirit is moving all over.
- 50:18Speaker 8: The world as the prophet said it should be. All
- 50:28Speaker 8: over the world there's a mighty revelation. Of the glory
- 50:38Speaker 8: of the Lord.
- 50:41Speaker 3: As the waters cover the sea.
- 50:45Speaker 2: Oh Jesus. Sit down for a while. Sit down for
- 50:50Speaker 2: a while. It looks like there's about to be an
- 50:53Speaker 2: outburst of the Spirit from some ones. Father, let there
- 50:59Speaker 2: be a release on those ones. One, two, three. Break out.
- 51:05Speaker 2: There'll be an outbreak. Yes, you can't help it. Break out.
- 51:11Speaker 2: Break out. Break out. Break out. Break out. Oh, Jesus. Yeah.
- 51:23Speaker 2: At different levels, the anointing for persons are released.
- 51:28Speaker 3: Aha.
- 51:30Speaker 2: And just when it shows up, it unleashes upon you.
- 51:35Speaker 2: Oh Jesus.
- 51:36Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
- 51:38Speaker 2: Amen. Let's continue. Try and see it if you can.
- 51:43Speaker 2: Try and see it if you can. It's an atmosphere
- 51:44Speaker 2: of the spirit. Just allow people. Allow people. Ezekiel 34.
- 51:51Speaker 2: Let's start reading from verse 22. Ezekiel 34. We start
- 51:57Speaker 2: from verse 22. Therefore I will save my flock and
- 52:01Speaker 2: they shall no more be preyed And I will judge
- 52:04Speaker 2: between cattle and cattle. Verse 23 now. I will set
- 52:07Speaker 2: up one shepherd over them. And he shall feed them.
- 52:10Speaker 2: Even my servant David. He shall feed them. And he
- 52:15Speaker 2: shall be their shepherd. Are you seeing that? God can
- 52:19Speaker 2: set a whole nation as a flock under a man.
- 52:23Speaker 2: When it becomes predictable. When God sees that he has
- 52:26Speaker 2: received the template. You must understand. This thing called crowd
- 52:29Speaker 2: is not just what you pursue. God brings it. You
- 52:33Speaker 2: must grow to meet certain accreditation. Then he brings it.
- 52:38Speaker 2: God said, David was not the one saying I won't crowd.
- 52:41Speaker 2: God said I will set them up under him. If
- 52:44Speaker 2: they come under David, they are saved. I can get
- 52:46Speaker 2: to a new territory. And you wonder where are men
- 52:48Speaker 2: coming from? Because God has been waiting for a David.
- 52:52Speaker 2: He's been waiting. He's been waiting. That my sheep will
- 52:56Speaker 2: no longer be prey for different animals. No. Now there
- 53:00Speaker 2: is a David. The one with a track record that
- 53:03Speaker 2: nothing dies in his hands. You must understand that. That
- 53:07Speaker 2: what you are doing now, there's a track record God
- 53:09Speaker 2: is building. Don't let anything die in your hands. Stay
- 53:12Speaker 2: faithfully with every assignment and job description you've been given.
- 53:16Speaker 2: Whether to sing or to sweep. Pass it and do
- 53:19Speaker 2: it well. Everyone is watching. There's going to be days
- 53:24Speaker 2: of reward.
- 53:25Speaker 5: It will be noiseless. Where to be an accumulation of
- 53:28Speaker 5: all the records of what you have done in past.
- 53:31Speaker 2: You must understand that. God has trusted you with mentees,
- 53:35Speaker 2: sons and daughters. Pray for them. Teach them with integrity
- 53:39Speaker 2: of heart. Several times some of my sons ask me questions.
- 53:45Speaker 2: And they ask questions. And I said, you know what?
- 53:47Speaker 2: For this question you are asking, I'm going to have
- 53:49Speaker 2: a seminar. Most people don't know that many of the
- 53:51Speaker 2: seminars we are having is the question of one man.
- 53:54Speaker 2: And I said, if you can have this question, many
- 53:56Speaker 2: more have it. Let's have a seminar so they can
- 53:58Speaker 2: sit and learn. We've had different teachings like that. God
- 54:01Speaker 2: can say, I know. He will not fail his generation
- 54:04Speaker 2: if he can bring him under him. That's why we
- 54:08Speaker 2: do what we do. Do you know what I'm saying?
- 54:12Speaker 2: The name of the Lord is a strong tower. The
- 54:15Speaker 2: righteous run in and they are safe. But blessed also
- 54:17Speaker 2: is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
- 54:19Speaker 2: The righteous should be able to run in and they
- 54:21Speaker 2: are safe also. I began to ask myself, what kind
- 54:29Speaker 2: of a man is pastor here at Debuy? When Bishop
- 54:32Speaker 2: Oedipus crash almost happened. He said that morning.
- 54:36Speaker 5: He just noticed.
- 54:37Speaker 2: That they said Baba is around. Around 5am. Before they
- 54:41Speaker 2: say Lagos traffic. A man has driven from camp to Otah.
- 54:44Speaker 5: When did this start? What was he doing? When he
- 54:50Speaker 5: said let's go there.
- 54:53Speaker 2: How can a man say he's been praying from 11
- 54:55Speaker 2: till like.
- 54:56Speaker 5: Is it 4 or so? For over 40 years. What
- 54:59Speaker 5: is this?
- 55:03Speaker 2: And the bishop said he just woke up and he
- 55:05Speaker 2: saw the old man entering from room to room and
- 55:08Speaker 2: just speaking in tongues. And he never said a word
- 55:11Speaker 2: to him, not good morning. They understand the code, father
- 55:14Speaker 2: and son. And he entered the car back and drove off.
- 55:18Speaker 2: The son was going to go into a plane that
- 55:19Speaker 2: would crash that day. When you hear the testimony of
- 55:23Speaker 2: that plane crash, everything had failed, but the hand of
- 55:26Speaker 2: God kept it. No matter how strong you are, there
- 55:30Speaker 2: are days that you will need the track record of
- 55:31Speaker 2: those higher than you. That God can say for his sake.
- 55:37Speaker 2: So the question is. Will I pay the price to
- 55:39Speaker 2: become the man. That God can say concerning someone for
- 55:42Speaker 2: his sake. When he searched my altar. Would there be
- 55:46Speaker 2: a sacrifice there.
- 55:48Speaker 3: Enough.
- 55:49Speaker 2: For God to say for his sake. I will give
- 55:52Speaker 2: you a second chance. Vice president.
- 55:56Speaker 5: Was going to have an helicopter crash. In fact it crashed.
- 56:00Speaker 2: Until he said. The last call he received before it happened.
- 56:03Speaker 2: Or some pastor here at Debuy. Who said. I just
- 56:06Speaker 2: want to check on you. And that was enough to
- 56:08Speaker 2: avert death. Just checking up on you. That God can say.
- 56:15Speaker 2: This man is predictable enough. The energy is sure enough.
- 56:18Speaker 2: That if I can have handshake with this person. Death
- 56:20Speaker 2: is averted. What he carries is that predictable. That when
- 56:25Speaker 2: death sees his handshake. It leaves. Even when he did
- 56:28Speaker 2: not discern to say death go. Just by standing there.
- 56:36Speaker 2: That is what we are pressing into. That's what we
- 56:39Speaker 2: are praying into. That's why we fast. I'm not sad
- 56:52Speaker 2: to eat anything today. Not because it is ministry. Not
- 56:55Speaker 2: because there is this conference. That's the way I've lived
- 56:57Speaker 2: my life. They say, what will you eat? I say,
- 57:00Speaker 2: hold on for a while. Hold on for a while.
- 57:04Speaker 2: Something needs to open It has to be a lifestyle.
- 57:08Speaker 2: How did I build it? I saw that fasting was tough.
- 57:11Speaker 2: I will fast till the fearful fasting dies. That's the
- 57:16Speaker 2: easiest thing I do. Do you understand what I'm saying?
- 57:22Speaker 2: Do you understand what I'm saying? Lift your hands and say, God,
- 57:31Speaker 2: that you trust me as a man with your predictable curriculum.
- 57:35Speaker 2: That you will trust me with a generation. That you
- 57:38Speaker 2: will trust me with your children. That you will trust me. Amen.
- 57:46Speaker 2: As I started studying. I noticed that not all preachers
- 57:50Speaker 2: were catching my fancy. I became increasingly interested. In preachers
- 57:54Speaker 2: that became a baptism for every new generation. Men like Egan.
- 57:58Speaker 2: That you barely can find any man. Or you barely
- 58:00Speaker 2: can find any man. Who became something after him. Who
- 58:03Speaker 2: didn't drink under Egan. What did God put there? Pastor,
- 58:07Speaker 2: he had even shared that this thing is from Higgins.
- 58:11Speaker 2: And I went there and knelt down and said, all
- 58:13Speaker 2: that you have is what I want. And he laid
- 58:15Speaker 2: hands on that man. And you can see the same
- 58:17Speaker 2: results duplicated, even in greater proportion. I remember sitting on
- 58:21Speaker 2: the altar in camp. And I sat down there. And
- 58:24Speaker 2: I was watching Baba in front. And I said to
- 58:26Speaker 2: the person who was sitting together, I said, it looks
- 58:28Speaker 2: as though there is a creature on this altar that
- 58:30Speaker 2: is breathing. There's a wave of presence that comes. Like
- 58:33Speaker 2: when you stand in the sea. It waves you over
- 58:35Speaker 2: then go back. Waves you over then go back. I
- 58:37Speaker 2: said what is this? And you say this man will
- 58:41Speaker 2: just say wave your hands. And God knows. Do you
- 58:45Speaker 2: know how many people are in that place? You talk
- 58:47Speaker 2: and say this, this, this. They are not teaching doctrine.
- 58:50Speaker 2: Do you know how many people are not dying again?
- 58:53Speaker 2: Because God can trust that man. His intercession and prayer.
- 58:57Speaker 5: The prizes.
- 58:59Speaker 2: What have you done for God to trust you? With
- 59:01Speaker 2: a generation. One time he came to the altar. And
- 59:05Speaker 2: I heard what I have not heard before. I have
- 59:07Speaker 2: never heard this in my life before. and he said
- 59:10Speaker 2: I was praying and my daddy said there are partners
- 59:15Speaker 2: who should have been called home but I can't call
- 59:18Speaker 2: you home because you are partnering so I want to
- 59:21Speaker 2: release you now so I can call new partners and
- 59:27Speaker 2: you stay there and say ok ok I am released
- 59:28Speaker 2: I am released And that's not gimmicks. The birds that
- 59:37Speaker 2: were feeding Elijah for three years could not die. They
- 59:40Speaker 2: were on divine assignment. How much more men? It wasn't gimmicks.
- 59:48Speaker 2: Some men have gone past that level. You know the
- 59:50Speaker 2: integrity of their walk with God. It's not gimmicks. They
- 59:53Speaker 2: called Methuselah a useless man till the day he died.
- 59:56Speaker 2: And then the flood came. And they discovered that it
- 59:58Speaker 2: was a presence kept keeping them. It was not making noise.
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: But the energy was enough to keep mercy abundant. I
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: pity the generation saying, what are these men saying?
- 1:00:07Speaker 5: And they would drag them on Twitter.
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: If they go without contesting for the man through, then
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: the mystery has started. Do you know the number of
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: things that should have happened in this country? But for
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: some men, who are not shouting, but they are speaking
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: where it matters. Those are our templates. Those are the
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: men we look at. They are saying it where it matters.
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: We'll talk about how COVID came to Africa. Africa, that
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: people should have died like water and stopped. During COVID,
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: I saw a video of an hospital in America. Trucks
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: piled up, stretched.
- 1:00:48Speaker 5: What was inside?
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: Bodies.
- 1:00:51Speaker 5: They predicted that Africa would have bodies on the streets.
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: By what hand? By what force? By what prayer? By
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: what intercession? Could God say you have failed politically? That's
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: why I place dangerous prophet here. You wonder why Nigeria
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: is strutted with the kind of ministry gifts we have.
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: Because of the kind of problems around this nation. Without
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: this gift, this nation would have been finished. That my
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: life can become so predictable. God can say, there is
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: a problem in Kano. And all I need to do
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: is to send him there. That's it. He can face
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: other assignments knowing he will not fail. Can I tell
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: you to pray and say, God, help me. I don't
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: know if this has provoked you at all. But in
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: the way you pay the price, in the way you fast.
- 1:01:45Speaker 5: Help me.
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: Set me on fire, Lord. Teach me the pathways of
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: the Spirit. Anoint me with your oil. Fill me till
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: I want no more. Set me on fire, Lord. Teach
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: me the pathways of the Spirit. Anoint me with your oil.
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: Fill me till I want no more. Set me on fire, Lord.
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: There's an outbreak already, so just help them. Teach me
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: the pathways of the Spirit. Anoint me with your oil.
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: Fill me till I want no more. Set me on fire, Lord.
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: Teach me the pathway of the Spirit.
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: Announce me with your voice. Give me what I want.
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: Oh, me, yeah. Oh, me, yeah. Oh, me, yeah.
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: Oh, me, yeah.
- 1:03:36Speaker 8: Oh, me, yeah.
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: I am your battle lance.
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: Your weapon of war.
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: I am your battle lance.
- 1:03:55Speaker 8: Your weapon of war.
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: I am your battle lance. Your weapon of war. I
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: am your partner.
- 1:04:15Speaker 3: Your weapon of war.
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: For the spirit and the pride. Please come.
- 1:04:28Speaker 9: Many of you are getting invitation. To come to a
- 1:04:32Speaker 9: new era. Where you can be trusted with destinies and lives.
- 1:04:38Speaker 9: Where you can be given a predictable syllabus.
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: That works.
- 1:04:45Speaker 4: Oh.
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: Thank you Father. In Jesus. Mighty name. We are praying.
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: Sit down for a while. Students of life. Sit down
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: for a while. Oh, Jesus. I ask that you sit
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: on lives like the refinement of silver and gold. No,
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: don't say amen. What I'm saying is going to happen.
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: Till man becomes exactly as you. Father, there's something you
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: placed on my life that never made me doubt following
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: you at any point. With so much hunger, doggedness, And
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: will and determination. Find somebody in this crowd. Oh Lord.
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: And mark that heart as I speak. Seven of them.

- 1:06:59Speaker 4: Changing me. Sit down for a minute.
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: Sit down for a minute. The Lord told me while
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: I was praying towards this meeting. He said, I have
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: David who are still in Adullam. I have David who
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: are still in Adullam. He said, fill your horn. Oh Jesus.
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: The Davidic anointing. Though poor yet making many rich. The
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: Davidic grace. Though still passing through yet raising men. The
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: unction to impart on the whole generation. The Davidic oil.
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: To be trusted with men. That Davidic spirit. That God
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: can bring men. And know with exactitude. That they will
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: come out strong. And better. oh jesus i see the
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: heavens opened and fresh grace will leads to men for
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: the quality of what lies ahead oh jesus Oh, Jesus.
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: Oh, Jesus.
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: Let's be seated. Let's be seated. How can you walk
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: when you don't know the ways of the Spirit? How
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: can you run when you don't know the ways of
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: the Spirit? How can you fly when you don't know
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: the ways of the Spirit? He's forever walking, springing and withering.
- 1:10:50Speaker 7: In obedience to Christ.
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: He's changing everything.
- 1:10:56Speaker 3: He's changing everything. In obedience. In obedience to Christ.
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: He's breaking everything.
- 1:11:07Speaker 3: Breaking everything.
- 1:11:10Speaker 2: In obedience.
- 1:11:12Speaker 3: In obedience to Christ.
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: Oh, Jesus. The Lord said to a heart someone, for
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: how long will you hide? How long? How long will
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: you hide? How long will you say I'm not enough?
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: How long will you say I have my issues? For
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: how long will you hide, says the Lord? I have
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: knocked at your door with strength to give you the
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: grace it takes to forge ahead. These many times you
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: have denied me, but I've come again to check on you.
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: For how long will you hide and deny my children
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: of a leader? If I have it, share.
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: This. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: Mmm.
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: Mmm.
- 1:12:57Speaker 3: Oh.
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: Oh. Oh. Oh.
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: Oh.
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: Mmm. Oh, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Sit for a while. Sit. Sit. Sit. Sit. Sit.
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: There is a destination we must get to. We'll ascend
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: and ascend, but there's a destination we must get to.
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: Many of you are receiving templates. You are knowing what
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: to do. Some of you are receiving strength. You are
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: getting back to certain things that is required. Some of
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: you are receiving impartations and baptism to go and be
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: trusted with destinies, lives, sectors, systems, wealth. Oh Jesus.
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: Oh Jesus. I want to hear you.
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
- 1:16:09Speaker 3: Amen. Oh, Jesus.
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: You alone can help us, Lord. You alone can help us.
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: Sit down if you can. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down.
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: Now you must understand that when God wants to raise
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: a specific people, He does not just give a curriculum
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: or a syllabus. He gives an environment. For the mighty
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: men of David, the environment was hadulam. There are certain
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: things you can't become by proxy Unless it is genuine.
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: Maybe boundary of nations. And through hunger, I've seen people
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: drink as though they are there. And drink more than
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: those who are even seated. Jesus did not say, watch
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: me from afar. He said, follow me and I will
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: make you. So it means there is something about the
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: curriculum that will be seen only when you are close.
- 1:17:34Speaker 2: There's something about it. There's something about it. there was
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: something Elisha saw. That when the sons of prophets said,
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: do you know that God is about to take your
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: master from you, he could say, I know, hold your peace.
- 1:17:48Speaker 2: At that close range, he had seen something. So when
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: he said, I want twice as much, it's because of
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: what he had seen. I noticed that when people fall out,
- 1:17:59Speaker 2: it is because either they are close but far by heart.
- 1:18:05Speaker 2: That distance is always the heart. Nobody falls out If
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: the heart is needed. I say this again. In ministry
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: you can have 100% of people. That you began to raise.
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: And 100% you carry to the promised land. 100% there
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: is a possibility. But you are not responsible for the possibility.
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: Because you can't help their heart. And notice to pass
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: on campus. Goes beyond. Just knowing what you are learning.
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: You must love your lecturer. Certain things you can't learn.
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: Until you love the method. And that's why John was
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: the one who died a natural death. He will always
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: refer to himself as the disciple that the master loves.
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: The disciple that the master loves. loves. Love is two-way thing.
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: You must know how to give it, but you must
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: know how to receive it more. Because there are days
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: of trouble that it is receiving that will keep you.
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: It is receiving it that will keep you. Many believers
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: get frustrated because they are tired out in love. They give.
- 1:19:08Speaker 2: They never seem to know how to receive. Because it
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: takes faith to receive love. You must know that you
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: are loved by God and where he has placed you.
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: You will doubt their heart and doubt the method and
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: doubt many things. Do you understand what I'm saying here? Environment,
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: atmospheres like this carries possibility that you can't get in tapes.
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: I'm sorry, apologies to those watching online. Unless with a
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: dangerous form of hunger. But it will take being here
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: to know what you feel here. Because the atmosphere is
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: part of what God is using to weave something to
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: your destiny. Are you following what I'm saying? It is
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: part of what God is using. I don't want to
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: get outside my teaching. I would have told you that
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: when you get to heaven, there is a reason why
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: everything testifies of Christ. Everything speaks of his glory. From
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: the plants to everything. Atmospheres. Atmospheres.
- 1:20:01Speaker 5: There are certain things that are only conveyed in certain atmospheres.
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: Those who drank under the days of Agin and went
- 1:20:07Speaker 2: for those Holy Ghost meetings, they seem to carry something
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: that is difficult for those who listen to tape to get.
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: And I know what I'm saying. When we hear their stories,
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: you bear the references. At certain point, we sat under
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: certain clouds, and this and that happened. You'll hear men
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: like Pastor Poggio, a man that referred to the Holy
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: Ghost service in Ibadan, organized a bishop, and God said
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: to me, will you give me that kind? I said, God,
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: you can only help me. And he said, this is
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: my instruction and this is your consecration. From today, start
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: doing this. It was most humiliating instruction. There is a
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: servanthood price to pay to become the atmosphere. It is
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: one thing to get it right in prayer and fasting.
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: But there is something, there is a process God must
- 1:20:55Speaker 2: take you to that kill your heart to certain things.
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: Because you cannot destroy while building. Never understand the power
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: of proximity in your quest for emergence. It does something
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: that is unbelievable. It does something that is unbelievable. It
- 1:21:17Speaker 2: does something. That when the disciples want to speak about
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: their authority to speak on certain matters, they will say,
- 1:21:24Speaker 2: have we not been with Christ? What was it about
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: being with Christ? Who are you with that you don't
- 1:21:33Speaker 2: even have a revelation of them? takes revelation to access
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: it depth of revelations.
- 1:21:42Speaker 5: Many times we do certain things and when the people God.
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: Wants to erase through that structure is over God will
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: say move to something else but did they drink did
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: they drink indeed there are places you will go to
- 1:21:57Speaker 2: they never know that your time there is very short
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: and they drank with carelessness they thought they would always
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: have it at close range only for them to do
- 1:22:05Speaker 2: you understand what I'm saying When you want it and
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: you get the opportunity, desire it first and do everything
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: to press into it. Press into it. Hunger can change
- 1:22:24Speaker 2: a lot of things about a man's life. Hunger shows
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: the quality of your revelation. Hunger. Hunger is what removes
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: the veil of carelessness. It removes the veil of familiarity
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: because you know what you want. Whether you despise a
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: man or honor him, it does not change what he carries.
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: You are supposed to only affect what you receive. It
- 1:22:47Speaker 2: doesn't change it. It doesn't change it. It doesn't change it.
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: When I got to Abuja, I told them, God has
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: sent me here for a quick walk. But will you
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: discover it? Will you realize? This is what you should become.
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: This is having pastored you for whether a year or
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: two or three. This is what the people should be.
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: The end was determined. Then God said, go and start.
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: So when we are joining to an end that is
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: already written down, it's a deliberate work. It's a deliberate labor.
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: Every teaching is not careless. Check our teachings in this church.
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: Everything is towards achieving something. We'll go back and come
- 1:23:24Speaker 2: back again until they get it. Because there's a quality
- 1:23:29Speaker 2: that God wants to raise. Stop fighting as one beating
- 1:23:32Speaker 2: their hair. You've not been called to do everything. Know
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: the specifics. Know the specifics. Not every preacher I've been
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: called to raise you. You must know your own archer.
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: As arrows are in the hands of a mighty man.
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: You must know the people God has given the grace
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: to skillfully launch you. I met many big names and
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: I have opportunity to big names in this country. Many
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: people don't even have an idea of the relationships I have.
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: Many pastors that by the grace of God that will
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: never post online pictures with them because that's not the essence.
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: That's not the essence. And I said, I know the
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: one God has placed to launch me. It is this man.
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: I stay here.
- 1:24:13Speaker 5: I honor him.
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: Whatsoever he says binds in my life. Before we did
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: this meeting, I called him. We had over an hour
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: of conversation. This and these are the things God is saying, sir.
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: This is what we are doing. This is what God
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: said I should go into next, sir. Please, sir, help
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: me pray about it. I never stepped my feet to
- 1:24:32Speaker 2: Abuja unless myself and my wife had gone and knelt.
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: It is not about the Apostle Lazarus that they know.
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: There is a grace that must work. I've seen it here.
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: If you speak it, it will work. It is recognition.
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: When pride enters the heart of a generation, it kills
- 1:24:47Speaker 2: their imagines. It is not about names. I know my
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: own archer. I don't listen to everybody in the body
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: of Christ. I don't. And I can tell you, I've
- 1:24:59Speaker 2: been in that church for a while. I don't miss
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: their Bible study. If I miss it, I'll go back
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: and listen to it again. Because a grace can be
- 1:25:07Speaker 2: raising you and you are not hearing him. How can
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: you say a man is raising you? Through what? And
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: that's why you can become what the grace has already lifted.
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: The grace on his life has dealt with it. You
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: are just becoming it. Because you will not fasten yourself.
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: We must break the banks of arrogance on a generation.
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: It takes discipline and humility to sit down and say,
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: well here, there is something in this for me. I
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: am preaching to the church but this is my own message.
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: What I preach is for your own edification. I have
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: my own pastor who preaches to me. I will fumble
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: and crash if I don't hear him. Because I will
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: run out of fuel. The template and everything, I need
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: to hear it. As busy as I am, the temple
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: pastor is here. Call for meetings. There was a time,
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: was it last year? I couldn't make it for the
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: first day of the meeting. I shut down Sunday service.
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: This is where I am. This is where I am.
- 1:26:11Speaker 2: I must increasingly tell my heart I am not too
- 1:26:14Speaker 2: big to sit down. The same house that accommodated me
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: in small days cannot be small now in my eyes.
- 1:26:22Speaker 2: If it looks small, let's build a bigger one. Not
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: that let's leave. There is a heart you must have.
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: Beyond all this hunger, there is a heart. There is
- 1:26:31Speaker 2: a heart God is looking for. There is a quality
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: of heart. So we don't raise people who just have
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: hunger and lack the heart. God raised men by heart.
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: Because there is a heart God can trust to latch
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: over a generation. There is a heart. I remember kneeling
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: down and I cried to God. As long as your
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: blessings are upon my life, this man will never have
- 1:26:54Speaker 2: to cry for what I have. Just give me the
- 1:26:58Speaker 2: slightest nod, oh Lord. I'm just trying to show you
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: the heart posture. And by the grace of God, I'm
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: not saying what I'm saying so anybody can come and
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: give to me. If you are close to me, you
- 1:27:08Speaker 2: know how much, how much I reject and I abhor
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: many things. And I never accept, believe, or take seed
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: from anyone, son, daughter, or mentee, who I know are
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: not listening to what I teach. Once I see that
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: they are not listening to me, it doesn't matter where
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: they are speaking from, the seed they have, I reject it.
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: Because it is a seed that will destroy me. If
- 1:27:29Speaker 2: you have been blessed, then you can communicate back. Some
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: people give seed as peace offering. We don't know what
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: he thinks about us. Let's buy his heart.
- 1:27:35Speaker 4: No.
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: The road to this heart is that you love Jesus.
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: It doesn't matter whether you have or you don't have. Come,
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: you'll be made. And that has become the bane in
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: the body of Christ. People know that they can buy
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: their fathers. Even when they are not listening to him.
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: Their life is totally opposed to everything he's teaching. They
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: never submit. They never account. You don't know anything about them.
- 1:27:58Speaker 5: They are sons. They are daughters. And they bring seed.
- 1:28:03Speaker 5: And you sit on it and collect.
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: From who? God said to Cain, if you have accepted,
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: if you have done well, will your offering not be accepted?
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: They were going to celebrate my birthday last year. They
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: said they are contributing birthday for me. I said return
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: all their monies. Not because they are bad people. Somebody
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: can go and sit down somewhere and say I'm broken
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: up because we gave. I will not take sandpaper. It
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: won't digest. When these grace begin to work on their life,
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: it will produce at a level. They don't have to contribute.
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: If they have the heart. Because some don't have the heart.
- 1:28:48Speaker 2: It will produce at a level. One of the disciplines
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: I have is the discipline of receiving from people. I
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: want to give to you this. By the grace of God,
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: I'm not broken. And I cry to God that please
- 1:29:04Speaker 2: bless me so that people's seed will not influence my message.
- 1:29:10Speaker 2: Bless me so that people's seed will not influence my message.
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: So when I teach giving, they know I'm not teaching
- 1:29:19Speaker 2: from emotions. I'm teaching as a man who is doing
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: it and asking. Because there's an arrogance that comes when
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: people feel that they know pastor, know they have this money.
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: And they talk about giving. Say, ah, ah, that's us,
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: that's us. Fear start coming in. No.
- 1:29:34Speaker 5: Men of God, pray that God.
- 1:29:35Speaker 2: Should bless you. Because you need it to speak to
- 1:29:38Speaker 2: a generation. And if it has not come, it is
- 1:29:41Speaker 2: humility to still speak. Because the authority you have is
- 1:29:45Speaker 2: of Christ. Is that okay now? The authority you have
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: is of Christ. Is of Christ. Is of Christ. As
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: God began to increase our finance and everything was growing
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: in church, God said, step aside from anything that comes
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: to the church, from the church to you. Step aside
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: from it. Step aside and I will bless you yourself.
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: So I'm free to teach anything and say anything. I
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: don't drink the water of it. Do you understand what
- 1:30:15Speaker 2: I'm saying? But in the midst of those situations, there
- 1:30:18Speaker 2: are people that you know their heart through track record.
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: And when they say I'm doing this, you know where
- 1:30:24Speaker 2: it is coming from. You know where it is coming from.
- 1:30:28Speaker 2: You know where it is coming from. And the same thing,
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: don't do that with God. You can't use money to
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: buy his heart. He already loves you with an everlasting love.
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: He loves you already. Just do what is right. Follow
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: his will for your life. Submit to his precept. He
- 1:30:45Speaker 2: will make you. He will make you.
- 1:30:49Speaker 5: Went by the story of the potter.
- 1:30:51Speaker 2: So I went to the house of the potter and
- 1:30:52Speaker 2: see him walk on something. The hands of the potter
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: are ministers. Five-fold hands. Five-fold ministry gifts. Five-fold. Five fingers.
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: That's what God used to make men. Pastors, apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists.
- 1:31:06Speaker 2: Know where God has placed you and stay there. Fasting
- 1:31:10Speaker 2: yourself to the vehicle. Listening to the teachings and listening well.
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: Listening as one who is researching. See, you can never
- 1:31:19Speaker 2: download messages of your spiritual father and your mentors and
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: listen if you don't have honor in your heart. You cannot.
- 1:31:27Speaker 2: And that's one of the manifestations of pride. You just
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: notice that. You just feel they are basics. You just
- 1:31:33Speaker 2: feel they are basics. I mean, they are basics. One
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: day you get to the end of your road and
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: God says, go back and listen to a message preached
- 1:31:40Speaker 2: on May 20th, 2021. You find it and all your
- 1:31:43Speaker 2: answers are there. Why have you not seen it before?
- 1:31:53Speaker 2: There is a culture that must not die. I watch Shiloh.
- 1:31:58Speaker 5: And I see Dr.
- 1:31:59Speaker 2: Paul Enneche.
- 1:32:00Speaker 5: I see Dr.
- 1:32:01Speaker 2: David Ibiomi. I see all of them seated in front, writing.
- 1:32:05Speaker 2: These people have ministries. One of them has the biggest
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: church in Nigeria as we speak. The biggest auditorium. But
- 1:32:11Speaker 2: you see him seated there, writing. Because sonship is not
- 1:32:14Speaker 2: about size of ministry. It's not about size of your pocket.
- 1:32:19Speaker 2: It is a revelation that God has planted me here.
- 1:32:22Speaker 2: And you have it to prove again and again that
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: the more you lift me, the more humble I become.
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: That one, you don't say God know my heart. You
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: prove it by displaying what is in that heart. One
- 1:32:40Speaker 2: of the most powerful tools that the devil is using
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: against the generation is pride. Pride through lack of recognition.
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: Lack of recognition. Lack of recognition. Lack of recognition.
- 1:32:53Speaker 5: I kept wondering, what did Jesus do to the twelve?
- 1:32:56Speaker 5: One fell away.
- 1:32:58Speaker 2: In Acts 17 verse 6, look at the remark they
- 1:33:01Speaker 2: had about Jesus' product.
- 1:33:03Speaker 5: Look at the remark. I don't know if this thing
- 1:33:05Speaker 5: can come on.
- 1:33:06Speaker 2: Acts 17 verse 6, they referred to them as men
- 1:33:09Speaker 2: who have turned the world upside down.
- 1:33:15Speaker 5: What did you do to them?
- 1:33:18Speaker 2: They enter into any territory, they shake it up. What
- 1:33:23Speaker 2: did Paul learn? What did he learn in Arabia? What
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: did he learn there? Who taught him? What did he learn?
- 1:33:31Speaker 2: Everywhere he went, signs, wonders, conversions followed him. It was
- 1:33:38Speaker 2: one man like 50. Bishop Odebo said, discipline makes few formidable.
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: That is why you have men who are disciplined. You
- 1:33:45Speaker 2: need a few for the work of many people. You
- 1:33:49Speaker 2: know if this person is there, what 20 untrained people
- 1:33:52Speaker 2: will not be able to do. This one will be
- 1:33:54Speaker 2: able to do it. If I blink, she knows what
- 1:33:56Speaker 2: I'm blinking about. One time, one of the lecturers for
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: International School of Ministry, one of my daughters, was the
- 1:34:05Speaker 2: one doing everything, running from hotel to do all those things.
- 1:34:08Speaker 2: And he called me and said, that lady is like
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: a man. She's like 20 people. Nothing was falling off
- 1:34:13Speaker 2: the hands. Strength built with time. Capacity developed through training.
- 1:34:20Speaker 2: Through training. Through training. Through training.
- 1:34:23Speaker 5: What have you done to these men?
- 1:34:27Speaker 2: That if any of them step to a new church,
- 1:34:29Speaker 2: maybe you are not in that area, and they step
- 1:34:31Speaker 2: to a new church, they know a gift has come.
- 1:34:34Speaker 5: All those who have been lazing around, suddenly see people that.
- 1:34:37Speaker 2: Will convict them. Because a culture of work has been
- 1:34:41Speaker 2: built here. Any church where they are not giving, learn
- 1:34:44Speaker 2: from winners. You look at what is happening to winners.
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: A culture has been built, fasting to their consciousness. Cause
- 1:34:50Speaker 2: the man from today to talk about tithe, they've seen
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: it work. True commitment to saying the same thing till
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: they understand. Criticism should not make you change your message.
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: You must be that dogged. There is something we cannot
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: stop saying till you understand it. We have to repeat
- 1:35:09Speaker 2: it again and again and Again. Many of you seated
- 1:35:16Speaker 2: here will be the men referred to by your generation
- 1:35:18Speaker 2: in the nearest future. I want you to understand that
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: there is an atmosphere here. That there is a covenant
- 1:35:28Speaker 2: behind it. That men who stand out in the nearest
- 1:35:32Speaker 2: future to come, all will have reference to this atmosphere.
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: God said, this I hold to you. I don't know
- 1:35:39Speaker 2: what I did to deserve it. So I knew at
- 1:35:42Speaker 2: that point, I must study those that God trusted will transition.
- 1:35:55Speaker 2: Let me give you one. Because I can't finish everything.
- 1:35:59Speaker 2: I can't even finish this teaching for this year. I'm
- 1:36:01Speaker 2: just going to give you a few points. One of
- 1:36:03Speaker 2: the things that must be in the curriculum of giants.
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: One of the things that must be. If you look
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: at the way disciples followed Jesus, the way the men
- 1:36:14Speaker 2: of David followed him, you will see that this was
- 1:36:15Speaker 2: one thing, one of those ingredients that marked them apart
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: in this institution. One of the things that must be learned,
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: I'm not listing them based on order of importance, I'm
- 1:36:26Speaker 2: just listing. One of the things that must be learned,
- 1:36:28Speaker 2: must be taught practically and experientially is process. Process. Process. process.
- 1:36:43Speaker 2: There is something process works in a man that nothing
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: else can achieve. I... Okay, let me leave this in code.
- 1:36:55Speaker 2: A while back, I sat under a man and as
- 1:37:00Speaker 2: I sat under him, I noticed that everything he was
- 1:37:04Speaker 2: saying was like milk and honey. It was coming from
- 1:37:06Speaker 2: a depth of sweetness I could not explain. It was
- 1:37:09Speaker 2: so sweet. And while I was there, the Lord reminded me,
- 1:37:13Speaker 2: salted through tribulation. Salted through tribulation. Then I remembered, this
- 1:37:18Speaker 2: man has gone through fire and survived. There is a
- 1:37:22Speaker 2: part of mercy that is beyond eloquence. This one is
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: the byproduct of winning. The byproduct of not giving up.
- 1:37:31Speaker 2: This is what is juiced out when you are squeezed
- 1:37:34Speaker 2: and say, I stay. It is a sweetness that can't
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: be bought. You can't buy this as an application. It comes.
- 1:37:41Speaker 2: People can't tell why they can't stop hearing this man.
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: Check the process. There is a kind of man only
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: process can bet. And let me say this to you.
- 1:37:52Speaker 2: It doesn't matter the impartation. Without process, you will still
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: not become. Process is so powerful. So powerful it should
- 1:37:59Speaker 2: be learned. And I hate to tell this story, but
- 1:38:02Speaker 2: I'm going to tell it anyways. I remember when our
- 1:38:05Speaker 2: ministry was converting. From a ministry.
- 1:38:08Speaker 5: Bible study ministry. And a discipleship ministry.
- 1:38:11Speaker 2: To church. And I have one of the girls with me.
- 1:38:16Speaker 2: She had introduced a guy. You know these stories. She
- 1:38:19Speaker 2: had introduced a guy. And said I like this guy.
- 1:38:22Speaker 2: She introduced.
- 1:38:22Speaker 5: The guy met her under me. As a daughter. And
- 1:38:26Speaker 5: I talked with the guy.
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: I said okay. You can go.
- 1:38:27Speaker 5: On with it.
- 1:38:29Speaker 2: And over time. the guy convinced her and said, well,
- 1:38:32Speaker 2: I can allow you to follow him because they're a ministry,
- 1:38:35Speaker 2: but as a church, I can't allow you to follow him.
- 1:38:38Speaker 2: Who is he to say that? Is he married to you?
- 1:38:42Speaker 2: So the girl came and said she was going to go.
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: I said to her, I said, what this church will become,
- 1:38:48Speaker 2: I know. And I feel even him needs a woman
- 1:38:53Speaker 2: who has gone through this process. Because that holy marriage
- 1:38:55Speaker 2: is settled. The wisdom of what you will learn from here,
- 1:38:58Speaker 2: you will need it in the ministry. Guess what? He
- 1:39:02Speaker 2: took the girl to another place. The guy later rebelled
- 1:39:05Speaker 2: against the person and still broke the heart of the
- 1:39:06Speaker 2: girl and married somebody else. I knew from the start.
- 1:39:17Speaker 2: We may be like this. We will not finish like this.
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: There is something we are doing right. And it is
- 1:39:23Speaker 2: at seed level. It has not produced. Even now it
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: has not produced. I go to Abuja. God said to me.
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: I will give you a city in this city. It
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: is a sealed word. It is a sealed word. I
- 1:39:42Speaker 2: was calling my friends. We are driving through the airport.
- 1:39:45Speaker 2: We stay in the same estate. And he said to me,
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: he said, the last time you came, all the things
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: you said, God has done. Properties started coming, we couldn't
- 1:39:57Speaker 2: tell how. I remember praying yesterday night. God said, tell him,
- 1:40:04Speaker 2: I'm bringing him a fully furnished property. I noticed that
- 1:40:09Speaker 2: most of my friends even received me as a prophet
- 1:40:11Speaker 2: more than some sons. I was speaking to another one
- 1:40:15Speaker 2: in Brazil. We're having video call. And while we're talking,
- 1:40:20Speaker 2: He just said, yes, yes, yes. When you came to Enugu,
- 1:40:23Speaker 2: you told me that God is opening international doors. Since then,
- 1:40:28Speaker 2: I've got calls. God said to me, if this grace
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: can open for others, much more will it open for you.
- 1:40:41Speaker 2: You can't die like there's no balm in Gilead. If
- 1:40:50Speaker 2: any other pastor is a scam, not all pastors are
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: a scam. I'm saying one statement can change your life.
- 1:40:57Speaker 2: And there are testimonies to prove it. Do you understand
- 1:41:06Speaker 2: what I'm saying? Watch out. You will not be able
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: to tell where it is coming from. We just come
- 1:41:14Speaker 2: and announce, we have 20 acres here. Somebody just brought it.
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: I'm telling you. I'm not joking with you. I've always
- 1:41:23Speaker 2: said it like this. You think I'm joking until you
- 1:41:24Speaker 2: see it. I've always said it like this. I told
- 1:41:29Speaker 2: those in Abuja, we have three months to build this kind.
- 1:41:31Speaker 5: We have three months. We're not wasting time.
- 1:41:36Speaker 2: No, no, no. No.
- 1:41:40Speaker 5: If it is God, it always works. Somebody said again, process.
- 1:41:54Speaker 2: One of the things, one of the lessons you must
- 1:41:56Speaker 2: not miss is the lesson of process. There is something
- 1:42:00Speaker 2: only process can teach you. There is a form of
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: humility you can't have except you are a man who
- 1:42:05Speaker 2: has gone through. Except you are a man who has
- 1:42:09Speaker 2: gone through. When you go through process, patience resume work
- 1:42:14Speaker 2: in your life. Because process makes you patient. You are
- 1:42:18Speaker 2: having so much grace, you are knowing much but things
- 1:42:20Speaker 2: are not coming. At the level of the grace. Sometimes
- 1:42:23Speaker 2: you are happy. Look at the church. You think you
- 1:42:26Speaker 2: have gotten it right. Following Sunday 25. And you are
- 1:42:29Speaker 2: wondering what is this? Process. Process. Stay with it. Stay
- 1:42:36Speaker 2: with it. Stay with it. Sometimes having prayed, you have fasted.
- 1:42:42Speaker 2: No money to break the fast.
- 1:42:44Speaker 5: Process.
- 1:42:46Speaker 2: Process. Stay with it. When this ministry started, I was
- 1:42:49Speaker 2: staying with you. I was staying on your bunk. He
- 1:42:51Speaker 2: was a Patwan student. My very, very good son. Let
- 1:42:56Speaker 2: me celebrate.
- 1:42:59Speaker 4: Him.
- 1:43:00Speaker 5: I will go to his bunk. Please sit down. He
- 1:43:02Speaker 5: will go and locate another bunk. He was staying at Awu.
- 1:43:08Speaker 2: I don't know if there is Awu right here. Awu
- 1:43:12Speaker 2: is a terrible place. It's the closest to Kirikiri. You
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: go to their room. Somebody is spreading onions somewhere. Somebody
- 1:43:22Speaker 2: is spreading Eru somewhere. And you have no control over
- 1:43:24Speaker 2: who is doing so. Because you can come back and
- 1:43:27Speaker 2: they will.
- 1:43:29Speaker 2: Let's leave it. And I stayed in all their rooms.
- 1:43:33Speaker 2: I don't know if there is anyone of them who
- 1:43:34Speaker 2: have not housed me before. I shared the story of
- 1:43:37Speaker 2: myself and Pastor Henry when we went to Koza. Look at, see,
- 1:43:42Speaker 2: this man has done me a wicked thing. See, come, come, come, come.
- 1:43:47Speaker 2: Let me tell you. See the way he suited there?
- 1:43:50Speaker 2: That's the way he suited. Me that I was doing ministry.
- 1:43:54Speaker 2: God said I should go to Lagos for apostolic ministry.
- 1:43:58Speaker 2: So I was staying in the house. He helped me
- 1:44:00Speaker 2: walk out to stay in the hostel. There's no house
- 1:44:02Speaker 2: to stay. So we went to Kuzai. Me I wore
- 1:44:06Speaker 2: one cardigan and one trouser. I didn't know where I
- 1:44:08Speaker 2: was going. I didn't know. I got there. The devil
- 1:44:12Speaker 2: just called my attention. Look at the shoes of your mates.
- 1:44:15Speaker 2: I look at their shoes. Brooks, Oxford, different kinds. I
- 1:44:18Speaker 2: look at my own. One clothes shoe that when you wash,
- 1:44:21Speaker 2: it takes different colors. Depending on time. I was pinching him.
- 1:44:28Speaker 2: Why did you, you didn't tell me. You didn't tell
- 1:44:31Speaker 2: me that this is it. I got angry after the meeting.
- 1:44:37Speaker 2: Buy shoe. People in Ife had contributed some money. And
- 1:44:41Speaker 2: say we support you for apostolic trip. Part of what
- 1:44:44Speaker 2: I did with that money was to go to Computer Village.
- 1:44:46Speaker 2: We also went together.
- 1:44:48Speaker 5: I didn't know.
- 1:44:49Speaker 2: I went to Computer Village to buy a phone. Because
- 1:44:52Speaker 2: at least let me be able to stay online and
- 1:44:54Speaker 2: touch with my guys. Somebody came to meet me. I said,
- 1:44:56Speaker 2: there is a phone I can sell to you. You
- 1:44:58Speaker 2: won't believe it. The phone charges other phones. Computer Village.
- 1:45:05Speaker 2: I said, let's go. Come and show me this phone.
- 1:45:07Speaker 2: They took us to one corner. We were going together,
- 1:45:09Speaker 2: myself and him. Went to get that phone. The phone
- 1:45:14Speaker 2: looked great. And he plugged another phone to it truly
- 1:45:17Speaker 2: and he charged.
- 1:45:18Speaker 5: But I didn't know.
- 1:45:19Speaker 2: You don't buy that kind. The way that place works
- 1:45:23Speaker 2: is as though when you live there, all the problems
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: come back. So I left.
- 1:45:29Speaker 5: I used that phone as though God does not love me.
- 1:45:32Speaker 2: And when I was tired, the person I gave it to,
- 1:45:36Speaker 2: from the day I gave him, he had that depression.
- 1:45:39Speaker 2: It was that bad. So I said to him, I said,
- 1:45:43Speaker 2: let's go and buy shoe. I'm angry. They've sent me
- 1:45:46Speaker 2: some 15,000. People come together. Students who are sending money
- 1:45:51Speaker 2: to their pastor. I say, we contributed in this meeting.
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: I want to send to you, sir. Send me money. Say,
- 1:45:58Speaker 2: let's go and buy the shoe. We got there. I
- 1:46:01Speaker 2: picked the shoe. Say, how much is this? Say, 40
- 1:46:03Speaker 2: something thousand. I got angry. What do you mean? This
- 1:46:06Speaker 2: is how people are doing. The last time I bought
- 1:46:09Speaker 2: a shoe in my life was one, two. And I'm
- 1:46:12Speaker 2: not joking. Until that point, the last shoe I bought
- 1:46:16Speaker 2: was one too. I didn't know things had changed. I
- 1:46:19Speaker 2: was like a man coming from ancient world. I was angry.
- 1:46:24Speaker 2: What was it? You don't have money. How can you
- 1:46:27Speaker 2: send this to them? It caught my attention. I said, sir, actually,
- 1:46:32Speaker 2: it's expensive. I said, yes. He said, even the one
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: I'm wearing, sir, it's like this price. This price is
- 1:46:42Speaker 2: I wasn't even wearing it.
- 1:46:43Speaker 5: Let's go, let's go, let's go. That's how we left.
- 1:46:47Speaker 2: That was them. That was them. We didn't remain at
- 1:46:52Speaker 2: that level. We didn't die there.
- 1:47:01Speaker 5: And I said it with humility. If I want to
- 1:47:03Speaker 5: be buying shoes every day of my life, I will buy.
- 1:47:08Speaker 2: But imagine giving up because you could not afford a
- 1:47:09Speaker 2: shoe and thinking God didn't call you While I bless
- 1:47:13Speaker 2: God for those that God is using and they are
- 1:47:15Speaker 2: wearing fine suit. I will use what I have till
- 1:47:18Speaker 2: I can afford it. Go and check my pictures of
- 1:47:20Speaker 2: years past. It is one suit. Color graded and mixed
- 1:47:24Speaker 2: on Photoshop by Yemi Kings. People started coming to me
- 1:47:28Speaker 2: to ask for suits to do best man in weddings.
- 1:47:30Speaker 2: Because they saw me post suit. I said it's the
- 1:47:33Speaker 2: same black suit. He's made it blue. He's made it white.
- 1:47:36Speaker 2: He's made it different colors. I posed for the same picture.
- 1:47:40Speaker 2: And the idea was for him to be changing the colors.
- 1:47:42Speaker 2: We actually snap with that idea. But nobody dies at
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: that level. There is a body of knowledge that that
- 1:47:57Speaker 2: process brings to you. It makes you humble. It makes
- 1:48:00Speaker 2: you identify with those who are passing through.
- 1:48:04Speaker 5: Please be seated. I can't go to any ministry and
- 1:48:07Speaker 5: see three chairs and say, look at them. Why would
- 1:48:09Speaker 5: they come here? They are small. No, sir.
- 1:48:11Speaker 2: They are not small. Anything that has life will grow.
- 1:48:15Speaker 2: They are not small. They are not small. i saw
- 1:48:23Speaker 2: a movie years back some soldiers were going to fight
- 1:48:28Speaker 2: against the emperor and they got other allies and these
- 1:48:33Speaker 2: guys were just 300 and the allies were many and
- 1:48:36Speaker 2: the head of the allies said to them you didn't
- 1:48:38Speaker 2: bring so you brought few soldiers He said, no. And
- 1:48:41Speaker 2: he went to the soldiers of those ones. I said, son,
- 1:48:44Speaker 2: what do you do? He said, I'm a blacksmith. Son,
- 1:48:47Speaker 2: what do you do? I'm a farmer. Son, what do
- 1:48:49Speaker 2: you do? I am this. And he asked his own
- 1:48:52Speaker 2: 300 men, what do you do? All of them made
- 1:48:53Speaker 2: the chant of war. I brought soldiers. You brought civilians.
- 1:48:58Speaker 2: Sometimes you may get to a place and there are five,
- 1:48:59Speaker 2: but those five are generals. It is not about number.
- 1:49:04Speaker 2: It is about quality. Not numbers. Not numbers. Are you
- 1:49:08Speaker 2: following what I'm saying? Process. I shared this and it
- 1:49:11Speaker 2: looks funny. In case you are following me because you
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: feel God has blessed him, let me shock you. Going
- 1:49:17Speaker 2: to Abuja, we couldn't afford accommodation that would take us
- 1:49:23Speaker 2: for a while. Not because the money was not available.
- 1:49:25Speaker 2: It was first available. God said, release it. So we
- 1:49:30Speaker 2: had to wait and we had to be lodging. All
- 1:49:33Speaker 2: of us would pack ourselves there. I've told people, students,
- 1:49:37Speaker 2: follow me. Knowing fully well that you can't regret it.
- 1:49:44Speaker 2: Many of them resigned from lucrative jobs. And said we
- 1:49:47Speaker 2: are going to Abuja with him. We trust him. And
- 1:49:51Speaker 2: one morning we are all in the lodge. Seated. I
- 1:49:56Speaker 2: came out of the room. And police entered. And raided
- 1:50:00Speaker 2: all of us.
- 1:50:01Speaker 5: Just this year.
- 1:50:02Speaker 2: I said bring your phones. Sit down. Check everything. Check laptops.
- 1:50:07Speaker 5: They said, we've got reports.
- 1:50:08Speaker 2: They've reported you to us. I said, check. We're all ministers.
- 1:50:13Speaker 2: We're all ministers of the gospel. So they checked and
- 1:50:16Speaker 2: checked and they left us. And I went to the
- 1:50:19Speaker 2: room and I cried to God. Provide. We've got to
- 1:50:22Speaker 2: get out of this mess. That same day, God opened
- 1:50:25Speaker 2: the door and we're able to get what we need
- 1:50:27Speaker 2: to get.
- 1:50:28Speaker 5: I come to the church. You come to the reception.
- 1:50:30Speaker 5: You see AC everywhere.
- 1:50:31Speaker 2: Come to my office. You see AC. You see them comfortably.
- 1:50:34Speaker 2: If I go to Abuja, I put chairs together and
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: I lie down in the office. Cartons everywhere. I said,
- 1:50:41Speaker 2: this is the process. It is called reinventing the wheels.
- 1:50:44Speaker 2: I pass through this then. I'm ready to pass through
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: again for the sake of the gospel. I'm not too
- 1:50:49Speaker 2: big to pass through. If it will mean that I
- 1:50:51Speaker 2: will preach from my power, they know I will and
- 1:50:53Speaker 2: I will share it online. I'm not part of those
- 1:50:55Speaker 2: ministers who share only success. There is a generation who
- 1:50:58Speaker 2: need to see our process and be encouraged. Even you
- 1:51:04Speaker 2: slept on chairs. Yes. Yes. And I remembered when I do.
- 1:51:11Speaker 2: Before I go to preach in Bible study, I have
- 1:51:13Speaker 2: to bend and lock the door. My ribs are painful.
- 1:51:17Speaker 2: And I said, God, you know, I will do this
- 1:51:18Speaker 2: again and again. We don't have to anymore. But there's
- 1:51:22Speaker 2: a level where you don't have to.
- 1:51:27Speaker 5: So I come here. This is comfort ground for me.
- 1:51:30Speaker 5: I'm not going to stay here. It's comfort zone.
- 1:51:32Speaker 2: Everything you need is available. I like new grounds. Where
- 1:51:35Speaker 2: we trust God from the scratch. For microphones and speakers.
- 1:51:39Speaker 2: And we see him show up again. It gives us
- 1:51:41Speaker 2: another level of trust. Maybe that's why apostles are rugged.
- 1:51:48Speaker 2: Another level of trust. Thank God Pastor Moeen is here.
- 1:51:52Speaker 2: Please let me celebrate him. Came all the way from Abuja.
- 1:51:57Speaker 2: I've never for once felt like, how many are we
- 1:52:00Speaker 2: in church? The same energy, same grace, same spirit. Who
- 1:52:04Speaker 2: teach these guys till they become giants. Do you understand
- 1:52:07Speaker 2: what I'm saying? It is predictable. Process.
- 1:52:13Speaker 5: Process. Don't be far from it. Don't be far from it.
- 1:52:17Speaker 5: No matter how much God lifts you.
- 1:52:19Speaker 2: See, even soldiers, regardless of their rank, they still maintain
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: their disciplines. They can stand throughout the night even if
- 1:52:26Speaker 2: it be A soldier is a soldier. Once a soldier,
- 1:52:30Speaker 2: always a soldier. You must understand that. Don't be a
- 1:52:34Speaker 2: soldier who has now matured to lose the military drills.
- 1:52:39Speaker 2: You can't afford to do that. You'll be taken off guard.
- 1:52:44Speaker 2: You'll be taken off guard. God comes tomorrow and says
- 1:52:48Speaker 2: the next place you are going is Somalia. Somalia I go.
- 1:52:52Speaker 2: I'm not going to blink. The question is simple. Should
- 1:52:54Speaker 2: I go with my wife or come back once in
- 1:52:56Speaker 2: a while to see them? It's that simple. Somalia we
- 1:52:59Speaker 2: head to. And we'll see God show up in Somalia.
- 1:53:01Speaker 2: Averse of souls again. Hallelujah! Don't despise process. Let me
- 1:53:02Speaker 2: leave you with this scripture. Okay, first read James 1.

- 1:53:21Speaker 3: James 1. James 1.
- 1:53:24Speaker 2: James 1. James 1. James 1. James 1. James 1
- 1:53:28Speaker 2: Knowing this, that at the time of your faith, work
- 1:53:29Speaker 2: with patience. Yes? But let patience have a perfect work.
- 1:53:35Speaker 2: That you may be perfect and entire. Wanting nothing. So
- 1:53:39Speaker 2: when you are waiting and waiting, it's not like you
- 1:53:41Speaker 2: are losing. There's something happening. There's a perfect work that
- 1:53:45Speaker 2: is going. There's a perfect work that is going. There's
- 1:53:48Speaker 2: a perfect work that is going. There's a perfect work.
- 1:53:54Speaker 2: There's a perfect work. Go through the process. Submit to it.
- 1:54:00Speaker 2: And love God while going through it. Don't cry through it.
- 1:54:03Speaker 2: Learn through it. Emerge through it. Grow through it. Praise
- 1:54:07Speaker 2: God through it. You can't remain down forever. If you
- 1:54:11Speaker 2: put a seed on the ground, people may come and
- 1:54:13Speaker 2: trample on the seed. But that doesn't mean a seed
- 1:54:15Speaker 2: is not there. That's the level.
- 1:54:17Speaker 5: Except a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies.
- 1:54:20Speaker 2: It is dying. But that's what is needed for life
- 1:54:22Speaker 2: to come. A time comes, it becomes a mighty tree.
- 1:54:25Speaker 2: Even a fool can't match it. Don't cry after honor.
- 1:54:29Speaker 2: Go through your process. Don't beg for recognition. Go through
- 1:54:34Speaker 2: your process. I have never in my life envied any
- 1:54:38Speaker 2: man for any platform. I have never desired any platform.
- 1:54:41Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, if I had my way,
- 1:54:43Speaker 2: I would only teach in spirit of life branches. Because
- 1:54:46Speaker 2: I want to sit on my people. I've seen that
- 1:54:48Speaker 2: sometimes there can be some forms of delusion. And I'm
- 1:54:52Speaker 2: saying this to myself. Particularly when you run a church
- 1:54:56Speaker 2: with going everywhere and leaving your people It is counterproductive.
- 1:55:02Speaker 2: I bless God for what God is doing to everyone.
- 1:55:04Speaker 2: But I stay where God has placed me. I will
- 1:55:07Speaker 2: support anyone with any capacity God has given to me.
- 1:55:09Speaker 2: I don't want to be like them because I am who.
- 1:55:11Speaker 5: God says I am. Are you following what I'm saying here?
- 1:55:17Speaker 2: Process. Process. It works patience in you. Lastly, I'm going
- 1:55:23Speaker 2: to show you Deuteronomy chapter number 8 from verse 2.
- 1:55:27Speaker 2: Deuteronomy 8 from verse 2. It said that you shall
- 1:55:32Speaker 2: remember the way. Can you give me this in NIV please?
- 1:55:38Speaker 2: Do you have it? And thou shalt remember all the
- 1:55:41Speaker 2: way which the Lord thy God led thee these 40 years.
- 1:55:45Speaker 2: Thank you. Remember how the Lord your God led you
- 1:55:47Speaker 2: all the way in the desert these 40 years. To
- 1:55:49Speaker 2: humble you. To test you. In order to know what
- 1:55:52Speaker 2: is in your heart. Whether or not you will keep
- 1:55:54Speaker 2: his commandment. There are certain things that God will not
- 1:55:57Speaker 2: know until you pass through. At that point, you can't say, God,
- 1:56:00Speaker 2: I'm tired of serving Jesus. Is it because I've given
- 1:56:02Speaker 2: my all? That's not how to go through. You stay.
- 1:56:06Speaker 5: You don't grumble.
- 1:56:06Speaker 2: You don't complain. You enjoy it. And you thank him
- 1:56:09Speaker 2: for the privilege to count you worthy. To go through it.
- 1:56:12Speaker 2: Do you understand what I'm saying? You thank him for
- 1:56:15Speaker 2: the privilege to suffer this for his name's sake. Don't complain.
- 1:56:20Speaker 2: So that by the time what you want now comes,
- 1:56:22Speaker 2: you are now happy.
- 1:56:23Speaker 5: That's idolatry.
- 1:56:25Speaker 2: Your joy must be constant with or without those things.
- 1:56:30Speaker 2: I shared the story of the day we're here before
- 1:56:33Speaker 2: we went to Abuja. Some things were not going well
- 1:56:35Speaker 2: in church. And I hate to beg people to give.
- 1:56:39Speaker 2: I don't like it. I don't like anybody treating my
- 1:56:41Speaker 2: God as though he's begging. Personally, I try to avoid
- 1:56:45Speaker 2: that on his behalf. I just said, okay, Lord, I
- 1:56:49Speaker 2: empty my account. Let this be done and I'm done. This, this, this.
- 1:56:54Speaker 2: And told my wife, this is what we are doing.
- 1:56:56Speaker 2: Let's empty up. We are the pastors of this church.
- 1:56:59Speaker 2: Let's lead by example. And they could go and afford
- 1:57:01Speaker 2: what they wanted to buy. We were going home that day.
- 1:57:05Speaker 2: My wife said to me, ah, we need to buy
- 1:57:07Speaker 2: diapers for our daughter. Uh-oh. I said, gather all the
- 1:57:13Speaker 2: handkerchiefs in the house. Put them in a pant. Use
- 1:57:16Speaker 2: it for her. She won't die. We gather them. She's
- 1:57:20Speaker 2: going to survive. God is going to bless us. Somebody
- 1:57:23Speaker 2: reached out to me that evening after church on Sunday
- 1:57:27Speaker 2: and said, Papa, I'm so sorry. I just saw the
- 1:57:29Speaker 2: small seed. Please forgive me. I just felt led to
- 1:57:31Speaker 2: sow it. How much was the money? Two five. But
- 1:57:34Speaker 2: it was enough sign to help us avoid my daughter
- 1:57:37Speaker 2: using napkins. When you go through process, that's when you
- 1:57:41Speaker 2: appreciate the power of even small things. That most times,
- 1:57:46Speaker 2: not for the size, it's for a witness that God
- 1:57:48Speaker 2: is saying, I sent you. And when they come, give thanks.
- 1:57:53Speaker 2: Don't say small seed. Give thanks.
- 1:57:57Speaker 5: Tomorrow I'm going to show you many more things. That
- 1:57:59Speaker 5: must be in that curriculum.
- 1:58:00Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
- 1:58:01Speaker 5: Have you been blessed tonight? Have you been blessed tonight?
- 1:58:08Speaker 5: The message you just.
- 1:58:09Speaker 1: Listened to is sponsored by the friends and partners of
