- 2:47Speaker 3: have gathered your children for an equipping. We ask that
- 2:52Speaker 3: this morning your word will go forth as fire. And
- 2:57Speaker 3: you will help us again. In Jesus' mighty name. The
- 3:02Speaker 3: Lord a big hand. Now before you sit down, can
- 3:12Speaker 3: you help me honor Pastor Mavis? Amen. Amen. Let me
- 3:30Speaker 3: say this. Pastor is a very simple man. Very simple.
- 3:35Speaker 3: In fact, if you are not careful, because God has
- 3:42Speaker 3: blessed him with a very young look. You might think
- 3:45Speaker 3: it's a jam bite. But wait. I'm not aware that
- 3:52Speaker 3: what is operating on this man needs to be researched.
- 3:56Speaker 3: We need to research what is working with him. Something
- 3:59Speaker 3: very strong is carrying. This is an apostle. I don't know.
- 4:03Speaker 3: This is an apostle. Let me celebrate him. And Bless
- 4:18Speaker 3: God for people like him and the body of Christ.
- 4:21Speaker 3: He's a breath of fresh air. He's a breath of
- 4:26Speaker 3: fresh air. I know what I'm saying. The breath of
- 4:29Speaker 3: fresh air. Pastor, thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you.
- 4:40Speaker 3: I feel so privileged. And I'm not saying this as
- 4:45Speaker 3: one of those things you have to say. When young
- 4:48Speaker 3: people speak, no, no, I really, I don't do anything
- 4:54Speaker 3: under pressure. Me, I can be very stubborn. If you
- 5:02Speaker 3: are not a blessing to me, I won't lie. I
- 5:04Speaker 3: don't have to lie. I don't have to be a
- 5:09Speaker 3: sycophant so that I can just go on and teach
- 5:14Speaker 3: and just do what I will do and live. I
- 5:16Speaker 3: know I will never come back there. As a matter
- 5:19Speaker 3: of fact, only Pastor Marvis can make me how to
- 5:21Speaker 3: preach now.
- 5:22Speaker 6: Amen.
- 5:35Speaker 3: And I'm saying this not because I want to say it.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Because he's a man I owe him so much esteem.
- 5:41Speaker 3: I respect him. You know what I'm saying? He's not
- 5:44Speaker 3: just my brother and my friend. I respect him. He's
- 5:48Speaker 3: a wise man. A wise man. Let me say something
- 6:01Speaker 3: in parable. I called a young man in our church.
- 6:08Speaker 3: And I said to him, I said, I don't know
- 6:09Speaker 3: what you want to do with your life. Because I
- 6:15Speaker 3: know you are around, you are done with your service,
- 6:16Speaker 3: but I'm not hearing anything from you. So he said, no, actually,
- 6:21Speaker 3: God has told me this is my house. I'm to
- 6:24Speaker 3: serve here. I'm to do this. I'm to do that.
- 6:27Speaker 3: Everything he has for me is in this house. I said,
- 6:31Speaker 3: God has told you. And you kept quiet. God will
- 6:37Speaker 3: use to push you. Does he know? And you'll be
- 6:41Speaker 3: there for life. Jesus did not just have favor with God.
- 6:49Speaker 3: He had favor with men. It is not enough to
- 6:57Speaker 3: be in this ministry. Particularly if you sense that the
- 7:03Speaker 3: way God is leading you, this is your house. This
- 7:05Speaker 3: is your pastor. You have to pastor under him. He
- 7:08Speaker 3: needs to know you and know what God is saying.
- 7:13Speaker 3: I just sense the burden say that. It may be
- 7:16Speaker 3: for just one person. I don't know. A closed mouth
- 7:21Speaker 3: is a closed Father, we ask that every veil covering
- 7:28Speaker 3: this particular subject matter will be removed. And your children
- 7:32Speaker 3: will see clearly. In Jesus' mighty name. Please be seated.
- 7:37Speaker 3: God bless you. Okay. I think I love the sound.
- 7:53Speaker 3: I came with the lead pastor of one of our
- 7:57Speaker 3: church expressions. We call it LA Church. Pastor Jethro Badulani.
- 8:08Speaker 3: God bless you, sir. When I saw the team of
- 8:19Speaker 3: this meeting, I started crying to God. Because when someone
- 8:26Speaker 3: like Pastor Marvis gives you a team, you have to pray.
- 8:34Speaker 3: So that you can share the same body. So this
- 8:42Speaker 3: is a very serious subject. Um, Davidic priesthood. If we
- 8:54Speaker 3: are going to sit down and study the Davidic spirit,
- 9:00Speaker 3: it may take an entire year. If we are going
- 9:04Speaker 3: to do exegesis on priesthood, maybe we will do that
- 9:08Speaker 3: one for life. But now we have combined the both.
- 9:17Speaker 3: So it means there is something That God wants to
- 9:21Speaker 3: give you. Now listen. The highest expression of God's grace
- 9:24Speaker 3: upon my life. Is the prophetic. We can switch from teaching.
- 9:32Speaker 3: To apostolic. Then prophetic. Depending on your hunger. If you
- 9:38Speaker 3: stay with teaching alone. Then we will teach. But if
- 9:41Speaker 3: you are hungry. Do you understand what I am saying? If. If.
- 9:49Speaker 3: you are truly and sincerely hungry, then there's something for you.
- 9:55Speaker 3: Is it clear? Let's turn our Bibles. I would love
- 10:05Speaker 3: to show you Ezekiel 34. But before I show you
- 10:12Speaker 3: Ezekiel 34, let me take you to Malachi. Malachi chapter
- 10:18Speaker 3: number 4. Malachi chapter number 4. If you are there,
- 10:27Speaker 3: please say Amen. Okay, we have a projection. Malachi chapter
- 10:33Speaker 3: number 4. I'm going to start the reading from... Let
- 10:46Speaker 3: me start from verse 1. So for the sake of
- 10:49Speaker 3: people who are probably just seeing this, you can have
- 10:51Speaker 3: a rounded understanding. Behold, the day of the Lord cometh,
- 10:57Speaker 3: that shall burn as an oven. And all the proud, yea,
- 11:02Speaker 3: and all that do wickedly shall be stubble. And the
- 11:08Speaker 3: day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord
- 11:12Speaker 3: of hosts, that he shall leave them neither root nor branch.
- 11:19Speaker 3: But unto you that fear my name shall the sun
- 11:22Speaker 3: of righteousness arise. with the alien in his wings. And
- 11:28Speaker 3: ye shall go forth and grow up as calves of
- 11:32Speaker 3: the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked, for
- 11:39Speaker 3: they shall be as ashes under the sole of your feet.
- 11:45Speaker 3: In the day that I shall do this, says the Lord.
- 11:52Speaker 3: Verse 4.
- 11:52Speaker 6: Verse 4.
- 11:54Speaker 3: Remember ye the law of Moses my servant which I
- 11:56Speaker 3: commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel with statutes
- 12:01Speaker 3: and judgments. Now for this to happen he says behold
- 12:09Speaker 3: I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming
- 12:14Speaker 3: of the great and dreadful day of the Lord and
- 12:19Speaker 3: he shall turn the heart of fathers to the children
- 12:24Speaker 3: and the heart of children to their fathers, lest I
- 12:27Speaker 3: come and smite their heads with a curse. So when
- 12:31Speaker 3: you look at this picture, you say, what does this
- 12:34Speaker 3: have to do with, David? Thank you. Amen. Okay. Just
- 12:40Speaker 3: reduce it a bit. Reduce the meat. Okay. Amen. So
- 12:47Speaker 3: you ask, what does this have to do with, David?
- 12:52Speaker 3: Let me help you with a bit of spiritual intelligence.
- 13:01Speaker 3: Most times, when God puts His grace, and, ah, God
- 13:09Speaker 3: forgive me, I forgot to celebrate Mama in absentia. Ah,
- 13:13Speaker 3: help me celebrate, help me celebrate. We've not met. We've
- 13:22Speaker 3: not met.
- 13:24Speaker 4: Thank God.
- 13:25Speaker 3: I will take selfie so I can. Go and show
- 13:27Speaker 3: my wife. Amen. Please listen. Listen to what I want
- 13:33Speaker 3: to show you. Most times when God has found a
- 13:37Speaker 3: man in a generation, what history has shown us is
- 13:43Speaker 3: that the people, their attention is mostly open to the message.
- 13:49Speaker 3: The significance, the message, the miracles, the The real weight
- 13:57Speaker 3: and the full stature of every man is not discovered
- 14:00Speaker 3: until they leave the city. Most times, this generation don't
- 14:07Speaker 3: discover what they have until either the men are taken
- 14:11Speaker 3: off the territory or they are done with their assignment
- 14:15Speaker 3: and they leave. Will it interest you to know that
- 14:20Speaker 3: in the days of Smith Wigglesworth, they were actually walking
- 14:22Speaker 3: around like normal people. yet on dissent when Archbishop Ben
- 14:29Speaker 3: Sidaosa was in Nigeria many people referred to him as
- 14:33Speaker 3: occultic it is now that there is challenge in our
- 14:39Speaker 3: political system and there is no voice that can say
- 14:42Speaker 3: we cost this government and it is so they will
- 14:45Speaker 3: not say in the days of Pa Idaosa but was
- 14:48Speaker 3: he dissent in those days no Maybe only a few people.
- 14:56Speaker 3: Have their eyes of understanding opened. To see and discern
- 15:00Speaker 3: a grace. And the same thing happened with Elijah. The
- 15:07Speaker 3: sons of prophets said to Elijah. That do you know.
- 15:11Speaker 3: That's a strange one. They were asking a fellow son
- 15:15Speaker 3: of prophets. That do you know. That God is about
- 15:20Speaker 3: to take your master. Not our father. From you. Not
- 15:29Speaker 3: from us. And it was like they were laughing. I
- 15:36Speaker 3: could almost imagine. Okay. God is taking it. Do you
- 15:40Speaker 3: know he is taking your master? But what did they
- 15:43Speaker 3: call them? Sons of prophets. Elisha said. I know. Hold
- 15:50Speaker 3: your peace. Sometimes to carry the grace that is in
- 15:55Speaker 3: the house, there are people you must tell, hold your peace.
- 16:00Speaker 3: They are wasters of divine resources. They are individuals without discernment.
- 16:07Speaker 3: I don't go to anywhere I'm not discerned. That's one
- 16:12Speaker 3: of the ways to waste your anointing. Listen, listen. It's
- 16:19Speaker 3: not alright yet. It's going to be a full story.
- 16:20Speaker 3: Just follow me. Do you know God is about to
- 16:24Speaker 3: take your master? But Elisha, how did Elijah pick Elisha?
- 16:32Speaker 3: God said, anoint Jehu. Anoint Elisha. Anoint Isaiah. Elisha as
- 16:42Speaker 3: prophet in your stead. He didn't get that. Do I
- 16:54Speaker 3: have anything that looks like a mantle here? Anything that
- 16:57Speaker 3: looks like a cloak? Something, something. Don't worry. It doesn't matter.
- 17:00Speaker 3: Just bring it. I'm glad it's even from people. No,
- 17:02Speaker 3: I need something longer. Oh, thank you. This looks like
- 17:05Speaker 3: something from Israel. This is what it used to look
- 17:16Speaker 3: like on them. God said, go and anoint this guy
- 17:24Speaker 3: As a prophet in your stead. Listen oh. What God
- 17:28Speaker 3: has said. He has said. The form it will take.
- 17:33Speaker 3: It depends on the personality of the fellow who is
- 17:35Speaker 3: carrying it. You don't understand. Just like being in school.
- 17:44Speaker 3: There are lecturers you don't like. Because naturally they look
- 17:48Speaker 3: like sadists. What they know. They know. Whether you receive
- 17:52Speaker 3: or not is your business.
- 17:53Speaker 4: Business.
- 17:55Speaker 3: To insist that Mr. Onimus Nijovia also is a way
- 17:59Speaker 3: to fail. That God has anointed me, he has. But
- 18:06Speaker 3: what flows through me, it depends on the kind of
- 18:09Speaker 3: person that I am. The man carrying it can deny
- 18:16Speaker 3: somebody access to it and God will say it's okay.
- 18:22Speaker 3: That's the temperament. And that's why, if you are going
- 18:26Speaker 3: to carry what a man is carrying, you don't just
- 18:29Speaker 3: relate with the grace, you relate with the personality. Okay.
- 18:34Speaker 3: You must be emotionally intelligent. You see, to like the
- 18:38Speaker 3: anointing and despise the person is to be a joker.
- 18:43Speaker 3: All Elijah did, when God told Moses to speak to
- 18:47Speaker 3: the rock, he hit the rock. Did God complain? He complained.
- 18:50Speaker 3: God said, go and annoy this guy. What would you expect?
- 18:53Speaker 3: He will carry the oil like Samuel and pour it.
- 19:01Speaker 3: You know what he did? He just got there, saw
- 19:04Speaker 3: the guy plowing. And just carried the man through. And
- 19:07Speaker 3: just put it there. And left. Oh God! Please stand up.
- 19:15Speaker 3: My friend. When he left.
- 19:20Speaker 3: Because if we do a lot of investigation as to
- 19:24Speaker 3: the reason why Elijah had this approach, it is because
- 19:27Speaker 3: the sons of the prophet were not serious. He was
- 19:30Speaker 3: not ready to waste his time. If you are pursuing
- 19:41Speaker 3: something in an environment where people are careless, what you
- 19:44Speaker 3: are pursuing, don't be hungry when you are first counted
- 19:48Speaker 3: as one of the rest. You will have to prove
- 19:51Speaker 3: that you are different. Do you understand what I'm saying?
- 20:00Speaker 3: Am I going too far? So he put it and
- 20:03Speaker 3: I just left. I have put the mantle on him.
- 20:09Speaker 3: Whether I like it now is going to function as
- 20:11Speaker 3: a prophet in my stead. That is when I leave
- 20:15Speaker 3: office is the next. But it does not necessarily have
- 20:19Speaker 3: to be as powerful as I am. You can be
- 20:24Speaker 3: a pastor in the stead of your pastor. Oh, I'm
- 20:27Speaker 3: leaving the city. Be a pastor. Yes. But are you
- 20:31Speaker 3: carrying it? Being called to come in the stead is
- 20:34Speaker 3: a matter. Carrying it is another journey. You don't understand.
- 20:45Speaker 3: So he just put it on him and just left.
- 20:48Speaker 3: It was the guy that knew the meaning and ran
- 20:52Speaker 3: after him. And said, please, permit me to go and
- 20:56Speaker 3: burn this sin. He went to burn all the yokes
- 20:58Speaker 3: of his oxen and burn the bridges. Then followed him.
- 21:04Speaker 3: No word. In fact, when he came, he said, what
- 21:07Speaker 3: do I have to do with this? That's his personality.
- 21:13Speaker 3: And that could have been the reason why the sons
- 21:15Speaker 3: of the prophets don't like him. Please sit down. I
- 21:33Speaker 3: finished on campus with a 4.89 GB. Now listen. I'm
- 21:38Speaker 3: not saying this. Listen. I'm telling people that you don't
- 21:45Speaker 3: need to know book to finish well. You just have
- 21:50Speaker 3: to have sense. There are lecturers that will come and
- 21:56Speaker 3: take certain courses. And you are like, is it that
- 22:01Speaker 3: you want us to fail? Speak louder. Talk to us.
- 22:06Speaker 3: Are you angry with somebody? One time I read for
- 22:10Speaker 3: an exam, I read and wept. Ah, this thing is
- 22:14Speaker 3: not entering. I go to class the following day, everybody
- 22:18Speaker 3: was saying, ah, Lazarus is the one, he has no,
- 22:22Speaker 3: better let him teach us. If he doesn't know it,
- 22:25Speaker 3: who can know it? Eh? As you have said, so
- 22:30Speaker 3: is it. When they agreed about that, the next time
- 22:34Speaker 3: I sat with it, it came. Do you hear what
- 22:37Speaker 3: I'm saying? Sometimes in the first two hours of reading
- 22:40Speaker 3: a lecture, a note, what you are saying is, Mr. Dr. Akilabi,
- 22:44Speaker 3: I love you. Dr. Akilabi, you are a good man.
- 22:47Speaker 3: That is the reading. If you hate the personality, you
- 22:51Speaker 3: can't carry what he carries. When you get to class
- 22:59Speaker 3: the following day, and everybody is saying, ah, this man,
- 23:03Speaker 3: why is he always like this? For the fact that
- 23:05Speaker 3: you have something you are pursuing, you can no longer
- 23:08Speaker 3: join them. Do you hear what I'm saying? I was
- 23:15Speaker 3: selling those in my house. I said, I can't pretend
- 23:19Speaker 3: that I'm actually not feeling the impact of Nigeria's bad economy.
- 23:22Speaker 3: I'm not. But I will begin to feel it the
- 23:27Speaker 3: day I start joining them to say, look at the
- 23:29Speaker 3: cost of bed. Look. I can't pretend that I'm not
- 23:33Speaker 3: feeling it. So it was an environment where honor was lacking.
- 23:47Speaker 3: And the approach of the prophet has changed. He wanted
- 23:50Speaker 3: to live. Before this time, he was ready to live
- 23:54Speaker 3: without anybody in his stead. He told God, kill me now.
- 23:57Speaker 3: He told God, I'm going to live this sin. It
- 24:00Speaker 3: was God that said, no, wait. What you carry, you
- 24:03Speaker 3: are Elijah. Elijah. But from these three, three can come.
- 24:08Speaker 3: A prophet will come in your stead. A king will come.
- 24:12Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm saying? Meanwhile, the man is one.
- 24:16Speaker 3: You don't understand what I'm saying. In Eli, God had
- 24:21Speaker 3: a priest. In Samuel, God has a priest and a prophet.
- 24:28Speaker 3: In David, he had a priest, a prophet and a king.
- 24:35Speaker 3: When this anointing are rightly received, different pouch will be
- 24:39Speaker 3: coming out. That's why you can see that in Pastor Marvis,
- 24:44Speaker 3: we can have a pastor, we can have a relationship expert,
- 24:48Speaker 3: we can have an apostle, you can have a lawyer.
- 24:53Speaker 3: How are you doing it? Listen, it is because he
- 24:58Speaker 3: has successfully received from somewhere. That's part of the conversation
- 25:03Speaker 3: I'm going to have with him after I drop my key.
- 25:05Speaker 3: What is your secret? Do you understand what I'm saying?
- 25:13Speaker 3: When our church started in Ibadan, we started at my
- 25:20Speaker 3: dining space. So I tell people that as of January 2020,
- 25:24Speaker 3: our overall attendance in church was still, if we see
- 25:29Speaker 3: 13 people, we are happy. Because God said, leave if
- 25:34Speaker 3: you can come. So it was my dining space that
- 25:37Speaker 3: we used. Lockdown came. Something, some things happened. If a normal,
- 25:48Speaker 3: if an average believer asks me, what changed? I would
- 25:51Speaker 3: say it's the grace of God. But when we are talking,
- 25:53Speaker 3: I would say, actually, bye-bye. We met so-and-so person. He
- 25:58Speaker 3: showed us this. Hmm? Hmm? Anybody who asks what is
- 26:05Speaker 3: the secret and say grace of God, you don't have
- 26:06Speaker 3: access to the person yet. When you enter another door,
- 26:15Speaker 3: they will now tell you, sit down. Actually, that grace
- 26:18Speaker 3: of God enabled us to do certain things. Sit down.
- 26:31Speaker 3: You know, sometimes I see people And scarcely will you
- 26:39Speaker 3: find one person who is asking questions. What changed? You've
- 26:46Speaker 3: only spent two years plus here. How come this? And
- 26:55Speaker 3: when people are not asking questions, they are not preparing
- 26:58Speaker 3: for the future. They are not. So God said, I'm
- 27:03Speaker 3: not this guy. He put the mantle and he left.
- 27:10Speaker 3: And finally, when they began to ask, do you know
- 27:16Speaker 3: God is going to take your master? They went through
- 27:19Speaker 3: different routes. It was at the tail end, Elijah now
- 27:28Speaker 3: looked at him. what do you want that I should
- 27:32Speaker 3: do for you before I am taken from you? He
- 27:38Speaker 3: didn't say before I am taken from all of you.
- 27:41Speaker 3: Before I am taken from you. And he said, I
- 27:49Speaker 3: want double portion of your spirit. What? He said, I
- 27:58Speaker 3: want double portion of your spirit Elijah said you have
- 28:06Speaker 3: asked for a hard thing because he knows the price
- 28:14Speaker 3: to get this one portion so how do you want
- 28:21Speaker 3: to get through impartation what came through practice what came
- 28:26Speaker 3: through practice Because what many people think is that one
- 28:32Speaker 3: laying on of hands can give you everything a man
- 28:35Speaker 3: is carrying. It's not true. In fact, what impartation will
- 28:40Speaker 3: do is that it will set you up. Impartation is
- 28:42Speaker 3: a setup. Yeah, let me quickly explain. I love this
- 28:46Speaker 3: explanation because nobody will come and disturb. Please come and play.
- 28:50Speaker 3: Let me explain. If you come and say, Sir, I
- 28:54Speaker 3: want everything within you. Let God give me. Hey, now
- 28:57Speaker 3: take it easy. You have been set up to pass
- 29:03Speaker 3: some quickness. It may take this man space of 10
- 29:06Speaker 3: years to pass it. You have to quickly pass it
- 29:08Speaker 3: in like a month. So you can notice after impartation
- 29:11Speaker 3: your life turned upside down. You don't believe. What confronts
- 29:22Speaker 3: that kind of grace has seen you. And we need
- 29:26Speaker 3: to quickly check you out. And you must pass. I'm
- 29:31Speaker 3: telling you, your trouble can start after a major impartation.
- 29:36Speaker 3: So sometimes, just know your level. And say, pray for
- 29:42Speaker 3: me that the grace of God will be sufficient for me, sir.
- 29:45Speaker 3: Do you understand? You know, people joke a lot. I
- 29:55Speaker 3: see a man like Pastor here, and say, I won't
- 30:02Speaker 3: go to give me everything that makes you, you. Because
- 30:10Speaker 3: people don't understand that the oil, the juice that comes
- 30:15Speaker 3: from that olive comes from the crushing of the olives.
- 30:18Speaker 3: Comes from the crushing. Comes from the crushing. A young
- 30:26Speaker 3: man came He was on campus. He came, knelt down,
- 30:32Speaker 3: he was crying. Please sir, please put your hands, please
- 30:35Speaker 3: hands on me. Everything God has given you, I want it.
- 30:39Speaker 3: I said, number one, if I pray for you the
- 30:42Speaker 3: way you are asking for, you will not be able
- 30:44Speaker 3: to get any job anywhere in life. He stood one
- 30:52Speaker 3: leg up. It is not that they will not employ you.
- 31:01Speaker 3: But that thing will not let you rest. It wants
- 31:03Speaker 3: to boss. It wants to boss. It wants to boss. Hey.
- 31:13Speaker 3: So he said, I want twice as much. Now, is
- 31:16Speaker 3: it a crime to ask for twice as much? No,
- 31:18Speaker 3: it's not. In fact, where I'm pushing you to is
- 31:22Speaker 3: that you ask, but you're not asking the right way.
- 31:26Speaker 3: Is that okay? What did Elijah tell him?
- 31:31Speaker 7: He said, what you have heard is a hard thing.
- 31:34Speaker 7: He said, however, if you can see me, when I
- 31:43Speaker 7: am being taken off, then you shall have it.
- 31:50Speaker 3: Ah, what's difficult in seeing you? This is both of us.
- 31:53Speaker 3: Even if I'm not looking at your direction, my subconscious
- 31:55Speaker 3: is looking at it. You want to take a quickly
- 31:57Speaker 3: look at you. So, How do you say it's a
- 32:00Speaker 3: hard thing that you say the way to this is
- 32:04Speaker 3: if you can see me? You know, when a spirit
- 32:09Speaker 3: is talking to you, it's a very serious matter. That's
- 32:15Speaker 3: how the angel asked Jacob, what is your name? Do
- 32:22Speaker 3: you know the meaning of that question? Shebi, you are
- 32:24Speaker 3: the one that told Isaac that you are Esau. What
- 32:28Speaker 3: is your name? He said, I'm actually Jacob. Your name
- 32:37Speaker 3: will no longer be called Jacob. That day, that singular
- 32:42Speaker 3: person kid lies in him. So when he said, if
- 32:49Speaker 3: you can see me, he said, okay. And the Bible said,
- 32:56Speaker 3: as they both went on and were talking, suddenly a
- 33:01Speaker 3: chariot separated between them. There was no discussion when the
- 33:08Speaker 3: people inside said, enter. It was just on the chariot.
- 33:13Speaker 3: Then Elijah looked. What the sons of the prophet have
- 33:18Speaker 3: been saying is, your master, my father. You are the
- 33:30Speaker 3: chariot of Israel. Israel has survived because you carried them
- 33:35Speaker 3: on your wheels. You are also the horseman. Then the
- 33:40Speaker 3: mantle dropped. He got a revelation of his person. He
- 33:49Speaker 3: got a revelation of his person. My father! The chariot
- 33:56Speaker 3: of Israel! spiritual signature. That's who he's always been in
- 34:03Speaker 3: the spirit. And the horseman, the mantle dropped. And he
- 34:10Speaker 3: picked it up. And when he got to Jordan, the
- 34:16Speaker 3: Bible says, he smoked Jordan with the mantle. And said,
- 34:20Speaker 3: where's the Lord God? And the river opened. Why am
- 34:27Speaker 3: I sharing this story? One of the things that will
- 34:32Speaker 3: need to happen. Let me tell you this first. The
- 34:36Speaker 3: reason why God. Why it is important. That the spirit
- 34:41Speaker 3: of a man. By that I mean the mantle. Is trapped.
- 34:46Speaker 3: And is wielded. By. People. Is because. Because. In fact,
- 35:02Speaker 3: it is not just, please follow what I'm saying. It
- 35:04Speaker 3: is not just enough that the people are able to
- 35:10Speaker 3: carry the spirit. It is important they are able to
- 35:13Speaker 3: carry twice as much. Because darkness is going to keep
- 35:18Speaker 3: getting thicker. And those dimensions are still required to combat
- 35:25Speaker 3: what the devil wants to do. If you get out
- 35:30Speaker 3: of your seat and want to confront the devil of
- 35:33Speaker 3: your own generation with a well that you are the
- 35:36Speaker 3: one digging, you will die before your time. But there
- 35:39Speaker 3: is a water the fathers have dug. We must find
- 35:42Speaker 3: it on time and drink of it. What I'm saying,
- 35:48Speaker 3: is it too deep? What I'm simply telling you, for
- 35:53Speaker 3: Elijah to succeed, it will need the spirit that asks.
- 35:59Speaker 3: And that's why that same grace, there was no fulfillment.
- 36:02Speaker 3: God still said, Elijah is so important. Before the coming
- 36:06Speaker 3: of the great day, I will still send Elijah again.
- 36:11Speaker 3: And then now he came as John the Baptist. But
- 36:14Speaker 3: he came in the spirit, the method. But he didn't
- 36:18Speaker 3: come in the power. So they cut off his head.
- 36:23Speaker 3: He said he will come in the spirit and in
- 36:26Speaker 3: the power of who? Elijah. Elijah. The Spirit in the style,
- 36:31Speaker 3: in the method, in the consecration, in the power, in
- 36:35Speaker 3: what the authority. You need both the Spirit and the power. Now,
- 36:42Speaker 3: how many people in the entire Bible did God ever
- 36:46Speaker 3: mention that He will bring them back? Because there is
- 36:49Speaker 3: a need for fulfillment. Elijah is one, David is another.
- 36:53Speaker 3: David is the second. David is the second. And that's
- 36:56Speaker 3: why this is, we have seen the fulfillment of the
- 36:59Speaker 3: Elijah grace in John the Baptist, but not fully fulfilled.
- 37:04Speaker 3: Because that grace combines the apostolic and the prophetic. Now
- 37:09Speaker 3: we are seeing that fulfillment as the end time move.
- 37:13Speaker 3: Somebody is not catching it. So before Jesus comes, we
- 37:20Speaker 3: are going to see the movement, the Elijah movement again.
- 37:24Speaker 3: the apostolic and prophetic movement is going to come. But
- 37:28Speaker 3: that's not the only one that should come. David also
- 37:30Speaker 3: should come. David also should come. And the fact is
- 37:34Speaker 3: that we are paying so much attention to the Elijah,
- 37:37Speaker 3: the apostolic and all that. But somehow we are missing
- 37:41Speaker 3: that there was something on David that without it we
- 37:45Speaker 3: can't navigate this troubled water. And that's what I want
- 37:47Speaker 3: to show you. Ezekiel 34. Please be seated for a while,
- 37:50Speaker 3: my friend. Ezekiel 34. Now before we read this scripture,
- 38:02Speaker 3: the question is, who was David? Because if we begin
- 38:12Speaker 3: to investigate into who this guy was, it didn't make
- 38:18Speaker 3: any sense that 75% Of the prophecies about the Messiah. Death.
- 38:28Speaker 3: Before death. Life. Death. Resurrection. And the second coming. Was
- 38:35Speaker 3: captured by David. What? What kind of a man is this?
- 38:43Speaker 3: What kind of grace? David the sweet psalmist of Israel.
- 38:50Speaker 3: David this. David that. So you could understand. When David
- 38:56Speaker 3: was going in. To Bathsheba. How pained God must have been.
- 39:01Speaker 3: That David do you know who you are? What kind
- 39:08Speaker 3: of a 17 year old boy. Will come to a
- 39:12Speaker 3: military camp. And see a man. Who has been fighting.
- 39:17Speaker 3: From his youth. And say allow me. I will kill him.
- 39:24Speaker 3: I say yeah. David, is this your arrogance? Say no.
- 39:28Speaker 3: Allow me. He kept telling everybody, leave me with this guy.
- 39:32Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm saying? You don't understand what
- 39:34Speaker 3: I'm saying. Imagine, I mean, you have younger brothers. Say,
- 39:36Speaker 3: give me an example. Younger brother at age five. Was
- 39:40Speaker 3: telling your dad. Say, a female again, bike on a wheelie.
- 39:47Speaker 3: Leave me, let me teach him a lesson. Are you wondering,
- 39:50Speaker 3: is this a joke or what? Is this a joke? Huh?
- 39:54Speaker 3: They play, have you? The news came to Saul. Because
- 40:03Speaker 3: Saul already knew him. He's been playing for Saul since
- 40:08Speaker 3: the day he was ordained. Saul tried to say, see,
- 40:18Speaker 3: you can't do this. David said, sir, I didn't tell
- 40:22Speaker 3: you this. When I was keeping my father's sheep, a
- 40:25Speaker 3: lion came and a bear. I took the sheep out
- 40:28Speaker 3: of the mouth and I killed them. Meaning that I
- 40:31Speaker 3: don't have a record of losing anything. So if I
- 40:36Speaker 3: can risk my life for a sheep, how much more Israel?
- 40:41Speaker 3: Allow me with this guy. Saul looked at him, looked
- 40:44Speaker 3: at him and said, you know what? wear my coat,
- 40:48Speaker 3: wear my armor, and go. He wore it. He said,
- 40:52Speaker 3: it's too heavy. He said, ah, I'm coming. Let me
- 40:56Speaker 3: use what I know. He didn't go to carry a sword,
- 41:03Speaker 3: not a javelin. He went to bring a catapult. Listen, listen, listen, listen.
- 41:16Speaker 3: When Goliath saw him, Goliath said, Am I a dog
- 41:22Speaker 3: that you send this one to me? Am I a dog?
- 41:27Speaker 3: Goliath was so offended, he began to curse in the
- 41:30Speaker 3: name of his God. We now saw that David did
- 41:36Speaker 3: not just know how to use a stone and a sling.
- 41:38Speaker 3: He had a revelation. He had studied something. He said,
- 41:46Speaker 3: Who is this uncircumcised Philistine? If he's not circumcised, he's
- 41:53Speaker 3: not under the covenant. If he's not under the covenant,
- 41:57Speaker 3: he may be wearing helmets and breastplates. He's not covered.
- 42:01Speaker 3: Even a catapult can bring him down. But there's a
- 42:05Speaker 3: need for a man with audacity. And God was happy
- 42:13Speaker 3: that at least somebody... Do you know anybody who had
- 42:17Speaker 3: that revelation could have killed Goliath? And David came out.
- 42:23Speaker 3: So he knew that that man was as good as dead.
- 42:30Speaker 3: He slung, he threw his sling, the stone came out,
- 42:34Speaker 3: hit his forehead and sank. And this sinner went over
- 42:40Speaker 3: him and cut off the head. That was the resume
- 42:48Speaker 3: of David at 17. Meanwhile, between 12 and 17, in
- 42:56Speaker 3: his record also include killing lion and bear. You know
- 43:02Speaker 3: the story. He never had peace from then. Saul wanted
- 43:06Speaker 3: to kill him by all means. We now saw something
- 43:09Speaker 3: very strange. That this guy does not just have the
- 43:13Speaker 3: grace to defend the nation. 1 Samuel 22. We saw,
- 43:18Speaker 3: can you project that scripture, 1 Samuel 22? We saw
- 43:21Speaker 3: something very, very strange. Just follow me, please. Do they
- 43:30Speaker 3: project scriptures with this? Okay. 1 Samuel 22, let's start
- 43:34Speaker 3: from verse 1. Okay. Can you take away the background?
- 43:40Speaker 3: There's too much noise there. Okay. Okay. Yes. Now look
- 43:45Speaker 3: at it. David therefore departed then and escaped to a
- 43:50Speaker 3: cave called what? Hadulam. And when his brethren and all
- 43:56Speaker 3: his father's house ended, they went down to him. Yes.
- 44:00Speaker 3: Look at verse 2. Everyone that was in distress. Everyone
- 44:05Speaker 3: that was in debt. Everyone that was discontented. Gathered themselves
- 44:10Speaker 3: to him. And he became a captain over them. And
- 44:13Speaker 3: there were about 400 men. How can a man who
- 44:17Speaker 3: is on the run captain 400 people? Look at that.
- 44:22Speaker 3: Because I'm trying to not make it about ministers. If
- 44:29Speaker 3: this was a church, you will see that there are
- 44:33Speaker 3: ministries now, and I love the body of Christ, but
- 44:36Speaker 3: I say this in all humility and honesty, that they
- 44:40Speaker 3: wait for other ministries to raise people. Then they use them.
- 44:44Speaker 3: Because there's no grace to raise men. We have developed
- 44:53Speaker 3: strategies for some kind of people. But there is also
- 44:57Speaker 3: the need for a grace that can bring men out
- 44:59Speaker 3: of Egypt. That it doesn't matter what your family trajectory is,
- 45:03Speaker 3: just come. There is something upon this house that can
- 45:07Speaker 3: turn distressed men to mighty men. It's a Davidic grace.
- 45:13Speaker 3: The house of David is the house of strength. It
- 45:16Speaker 3: is the house that men get stronger and stronger. The
- 45:18Speaker 3: Bible says that the little among them shall be as
- 45:21Speaker 3: mighty as David. And the house of David as the
- 45:24Speaker 3: house of God. It is a house where none is feeble.
- 45:29Speaker 3: It is a grace radiated from a man. This anointing
- 45:33Speaker 3: must be called back. That when people who are chronic
- 45:45Speaker 3: fornicators come by the virtue of the oil that is oozing.
- 45:52Speaker 3: The passion, the desire for it dies. I only attended
- 45:57Speaker 3: one service in that church. Are you following what I'm saying?
- 46:04Speaker 3: While I was on campus, we had a crusade. And
- 46:08Speaker 3: a girl gave her life to Christ. I didn't know her.
- 46:14Speaker 3: She gave her life to Christ according to her custom.
- 46:17Speaker 3: Once she accepted Christ, she would get baptized in the
- 46:19Speaker 3: Holy Ghost immediately. I didn't know that she was the wife,
- 46:25Speaker 3: the fiancée Or the girlfriend. Let me use the word girlfriend.
- 46:30Speaker 3: Of the head. Of cultists. On that campus. She was.
- 46:38Speaker 3: So after that encounter. She just went back to him.
- 46:41Speaker 3: And dropped all that he has with her. That he
- 46:45Speaker 3: has with her. And then she left. And said she
- 46:47Speaker 3: is done. So the guy went to investigate. And heard that.
- 46:52Speaker 3: There was one. The pastor. The pastor. Has collected his babe.
- 46:58Speaker 3: I didn't collect his babe. I gave her to Jesus.
- 47:03Speaker 3: And the girl became very very active. In the church.
- 47:08Speaker 3: So they said they would deal with me. So they
- 47:12Speaker 3: came to. I was in church. I was in church ministry.
- 47:16Speaker 3: Like this. When they just stormed the church. And they
- 47:20Speaker 3: held my trouser. And came to drag me out like this.
- 47:24Speaker 3: One was saying I will quack you. Drag me out.
- 47:32Speaker 3: Our church was a building. They dragged me through the stairs.
- 47:36Speaker 3: And they surrounded me. And I was seen. One flash
- 47:39Speaker 3: of me is gone. Like this. Showed me. Every member
- 47:45Speaker 3: ran out of church. And they were looking from the...
- 47:50Speaker 3: Even one assistant pastor did not come and beg. And
- 47:57Speaker 3: the guy... Are you following what I'm saying? The guy
- 48:00Speaker 3: held me like this. And one was dragging my tie.
- 48:05Speaker 3: But I didn't know why I just couldn't stop laughing.
- 48:09Speaker 3: I was afraid. But I couldn't stop laughing. So the
- 48:15Speaker 3: guy said, look at this idiot. In the laugh. In
- 48:18Speaker 3: the laugh. In the laugh. Me too I was confused.
- 48:24Speaker 3: Because I didn't know where the laughter was coming from.
- 48:26Speaker 3: Then the guy began to push me. You can't push me.
- 48:30Speaker 3: Why do you laugh? Why do you laugh? Then he
- 48:32Speaker 3: moved to, I rebuke you. I rebuke you. I rebuke
- 48:35Speaker 3: you in the name of Jesus. I'm not, you know,
- 48:43Speaker 3: God forbid I will add a thing to it. Before
- 48:46Speaker 3: I was very high, he broke out in tongues. Now, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- 48:50Speaker 3: I'm not saying this so you can. Wait, wait, wait.
- 48:54Speaker 3: There is a testimony. All the guys that came that
- 48:57Speaker 3: day are now pastors. All.
- 49:03Speaker 6: All.
- 49:04Speaker 3: All. So what we did on campus was not just
- 49:08Speaker 3: that we stopped cultism. They came to our side. That's
- 49:11Speaker 3: the DVD grace. So why can't you hold this meeting?
- 49:14Speaker 3: You know cultism on campus. With that grace. With that grace.
- 49:19Speaker 3: Let them come. They will be implicated. Saul was on
- 49:23Speaker 3: his way. He sent men to go and arrest David.
- 49:26Speaker 3: All who came, when they saw Samuel, they began to prophesy.
- 49:30Speaker 3: Another said to him, saw Samuel, began to prophesy. He
- 49:33Speaker 3: got angry and went. He saw Samuel, he prophesied naked
- 49:37Speaker 3: all night. When this grace is in a place, it spreads.
- 49:46Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm saying? How do you go
- 49:51Speaker 3: to a... It is one level that Elisha will call
- 49:54Speaker 3: down fire. It is another level that when you see him,
- 49:57Speaker 3: you become a prophet. When you see him. You know,
- 50:05Speaker 3: we are in need of grace's... That can turn weak
- 50:11Speaker 3: men to mighty men. In the body of Christ. And
- 50:15Speaker 3: there are some of you who are seated right now.
- 50:20Speaker 3: That the trouble, the weakness, the issues you are going through.
- 50:24Speaker 3: Is actually because of the kind of destinies that are
- 50:27Speaker 3: wired around your neck. So you have to go through
- 50:30Speaker 3: some things on behalf of the kind of people you
- 50:32Speaker 3: have to rescue. Don't die in the process. Don't give
- 50:36Speaker 3: up in the process. The whole thing that some of you...
- 50:43Speaker 3: when God is configuring a deliverer, his configuration can start
- 50:48Speaker 3: from bed. It can even start before bed. You know
- 50:53Speaker 3: what I'm saying? It can start before bed. Such that,
- 50:57Speaker 3: the man, some issues begin to happen in the house.
- 51:00Speaker 3: Are you listening to what I'm saying? Listen. Except you
- 51:03Speaker 3: want to see practical. Listen. Some issues can begin to
- 51:07Speaker 3: happen that This child, the mother became... Look at Moses.
- 51:14Speaker 3: The moment he was given birth to, a decree came
- 51:17Speaker 3: to kill all the boys. Because a deliverer has been born.
- 51:22Speaker 3: The moment Jesus was given birth to, another decree came
- 51:25Speaker 3: to kill all the boys. Sometimes some parents are going
- 51:28Speaker 3: through divorce and having problems because of the kind of
- 51:33Speaker 3: child they are birthing. And they are not even aware.
- 51:41Speaker 3: Some of you are the problems of your parents. Because
- 51:44Speaker 3: what you carry, the devil only checked the environment out.
- 51:49Speaker 3: But they couldn't bear it. So in a bid to
- 51:53Speaker 3: destroy the seed, problems started for them. But what the
- 51:57Speaker 3: devil doesn't know is that the cross is the place
- 52:00Speaker 3: of fulfillment of the ministry of Jesus who wanted to kill.
- 52:04Speaker 3: So that problem becomes the most needed fertile ground for
- 52:09Speaker 3: this kind to emerge. The princes of this world, they
- 52:13Speaker 3: will never have crucified the Lord of Glory. Once you
- 52:16Speaker 3: understand this, there's nothing the devil can do against us.
- 52:20Speaker 3: But for us. Evocations break up. She comes out of
- 52:24Speaker 3: it with a lesson. A principal one that will forever
- 52:27Speaker 3: liberate girls. You make her to be raped twice as
- 52:30Speaker 3: a child, she will be marked with a staff of
- 52:33Speaker 3: comfort for those who have been raped. What can we
- 52:35Speaker 3: do to destroy these guys? Nothing. Everything thrown at them
- 52:41Speaker 3: Makes them better. Everything released at them. Make them bigger.
- 52:48Speaker 3: Could it be. That God is configuring something. But you
- 52:52Speaker 3: are calling it a problem. Could it be. That even
- 52:56Speaker 3: demons understand. What you are becoming. The only fellow who
- 53:00Speaker 3: is here to catch up is you. Could it be.
- 53:04Speaker 3: That you are already a threat.
- 53:05Speaker 6: Yes.
- 53:06Speaker 3: Hence the reason why you are facing what you are facing.
- 53:09Speaker 3: And the only fellow who doesn't know that he is
- 53:11Speaker 3: a threat is you. Could it be that the devil
- 53:17Speaker 3: has seen already that it is not like you will become.
- 53:21Speaker 3: It is that you will only manifest what you have become.
- 53:24Speaker 3: And the only person who doesn't know is you. A
- 53:28Speaker 3: man doesn't become great the day he becomes great. This
- 53:37Speaker 3: is David. Please sit down, my friend. Have you ever
- 53:46Speaker 3: wondered that why is he that? With all the things
- 53:50Speaker 3: I'm going through, the moment people just sit beside me,
- 53:53Speaker 3: they start sharing their problems. They start talking about it.
- 53:58Speaker 3: Me too, I'm going through my own thing. But just
- 54:00Speaker 3: when they sit beside me, they start feeling like compelled.
- 54:03Speaker 3: They are just telling me what they are going through.
- 54:04Speaker 3: They are sharing their problem. There is something on you
- 54:07Speaker 3: they see that you don't see. And you will kill
- 54:12Speaker 3: it when you decide to focus on your own problem.
- 54:17Speaker 3: If you look at these guys, who had the greatest problem? David.
- 54:22Speaker 3: He was the only one that was on death row.
- 54:26Speaker 3: It is not just anybody that wants to kill him.
- 54:28Speaker 3: It was the king himself. If the king wants you dead,
- 54:31Speaker 3: you are as good as dead. There is a bounty
- 54:33Speaker 3: on his head. Whoever can bring the head of David,
- 54:36Speaker 3: probably will be promoted to something. So he had a
- 54:39Speaker 3: bigger problem. Do you understand what I am saying? You
- 54:42Speaker 3: don't look like you are connected. What should have been
- 54:47Speaker 3: the response of David? Leave me, leave me, leave me.
- 54:49Speaker 3: Me too, I am facing my own. But he said...
- 54:57Speaker 3: Let's investigate and see. Let me tell you this. One
- 55:08Speaker 3: of the ways to check the authenticity... Are you following
- 55:15Speaker 3: what I'm saying? Are you following what I'm saying? One
- 55:22Speaker 3: of the ways to check the authenticity of a grace...
- 55:26Speaker 3: is to check what happens to those who stay under
- 55:28Speaker 3: the grace. Lift your hands. Can I have someone on
- 55:36Speaker 3: the keyboard? Lift your hands.
- 55:42Speaker 4: You can be seated.
- 55:42Speaker 3: Don't worry. You can stand any how you want to do.
- 55:47Speaker 3: Lift your hands to heaven. I want you to pray
- 55:54Speaker 3: just a prayer Let my cup be filled to overflow.
- 56:00Speaker 3: The cup of your grace on my life. Let it flow.
- 56:05Speaker 3: Let it overflow. I'm sensing that there are many of
- 56:09Speaker 3: you who should carry this grace. You practically have what
- 56:14Speaker 3: it takes to turn that family around. The reason why
- 56:17Speaker 3: you were trusted with that battle is because it takes
- 56:21Speaker 3: a man like you for God to trust with it.
- 56:24Speaker 3: It takes someone that God can trust to have the
- 56:29Speaker 3: kind of situation you have. Lift your hands. Feel my God, Lord.
- 56:33Speaker 6: Feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it.
- 56:37Speaker 3: Feel it.
- 56:37Speaker 6: I don't want to be a waster of grace.
- 56:39Speaker 3: Hey! Fill my cup. Fill my cup. Thank you. Thank you.
- 57:27Speaker 4: Thank you.
- 57:52Speaker 3: Yekariyo kia tolo, emi oruso kale.
- 58:03Speaker 5: Kowate waro, emi oruso kale.
- 58:13Speaker 3: Thank you. I want to carry the fullness.
- 58:51Speaker 4: The fullness.
- 58:51Speaker 3: The fullness. Not a part. The fullness. Oh. Oh. Thank you.
- 59:22Speaker 3: Choir singing. Amen. Amen. Sit down for a minute. Just
- 59:59Speaker 3: have those under the anointing. Amen.
- 1:00:47Speaker 4: Amen.
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: Amen. Amen. Let's help them. Now, if you look at
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: that scripture, 2 Samuel chapter number 23. Turn your Bibles there.
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: Be very sensitive to the move of God's Spirit. 2
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: Samuel 23 from verse 8. 2 Samuel 23 from verse 8.
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: There are people here that the grace on you is
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: the grace to convert people from ordinariness into mighty men.
- 1:02:11Speaker 3: And listen, the reason why you go through the things
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: you are going through Don't be consumed by the thoughts
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: of your own problems. In the midst of it, God
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: is yet trusting you with men. Say, but my own
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: challenge is much. In fact, I'm having issue with this
- 1:02:29Speaker 3: cause now. How come at this point, God is still
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: bringing people? Stay. Stay. It's a grace. And it is
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: crying for expression. Stay. Stay. Stay. That my own family
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: background is worse on his own. It's terrible enough. How
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: come in the midst of this, God... Hey, stay. Hmm?
- 1:02:54Speaker 3: God's help them.
- 1:03:00Speaker 4: Hey.
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: And this, there's no... God has no concern with whether
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: you have made mistakes in the past. You have slept
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: with a guy in the past. You had an abortion
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: in the past. That is not the business of God.
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: The issue is that you survived it. Huh? You came out.
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: There's something. Just listen. Listen. Listen. At what point did
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: this man came to the light of life of David?
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: At what point? When he himself was in distress. When
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: his life was upside down. You know Pastor Mavis. You
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: know what I found out. Some of the best things
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: that happen to us. Happen when we are confused. In
- 1:03:53Speaker 3: that moment that nothing seems to be working. That moment.
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: That moment that. I remember. I became so depressed. I
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: had to park out of my house. To stay with
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: a friend on campus. I had finished two years before.
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: I had to move back to campus. To go and
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: stay with him. Many of the things happened in our
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: ministry started then. I was living in a house, no roof.
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: Just sack. No toilet, no window and all that. But
- 1:04:28Speaker 3: people would travel from their prestigious schools and come and
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: fellowship with me there. All over. So you wonder. I'm
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: in distress. I have my own challenge. Yet men can't
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: stop coming. That's the Davidic grace. That's the Davidic grace.
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: That's the Davidic grace. That's the Davidic grace. It's the
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: grace of shepherd. There are some of you here. That
- 1:04:59Speaker 3: God is sending an assignment to families. But you didn't
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: have the privilege. Of seeing a good home. The really
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: grace is the oil. It's not about whether you've experienced, Jacob,
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: come and attend to. Whether you've experienced what God is
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: sending you into or not. And you know what I
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: found out, pastor? The mighty men could find comfort in David.
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: Who was David finding comfort in? Only Samuel that he
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: was had died. So you wonder, everybody comes around me,
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: they get comfortable. Who do I run to? That's an oil.
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: And it must be discerned. It must be understood. Because
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: in the first place, it is a privilege to be
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: trusted with those battles. It is. One time I was
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: serving in a church as the privileged pastor of that place.
- 1:06:03Speaker 3: Some things happened, internal politics. I was demoted from that.
- 1:06:08Speaker 3: And sent to head the toilet washing department. So, on Sundays,
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: the same church I'd pastored. I would now have to
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: be at the toilet. With my sleeves rolled. The same church.
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: People came around and said, how come? Why will you.
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: They will shout, do you not demand you are allowed
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: to wash toilets? I say, oh boy, I'm not complaining.
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: Just go, go. I'm not complaining. Everything about our ministry
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: began to crystallize in that season. In fact, the first
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: set of men we started with, they came around me
- 1:06:55Speaker 3: in that toilet season. The devil doesn't know everything. He
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: doesn't know. There are matters that our sons know. In fact,
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: they are the ones who are announcing to the devil.
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: They are sealed matters. He didn't know that Jesus was
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: to die on the cross. He didn't know. He thought
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: it was in the living of Jesus that would destroy him.
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: So let's quickly kill him. He ushered him there. There
- 1:07:22Speaker 3: are many of you, the devil is ushering you into
- 1:07:25Speaker 3: where God needs you to be. He is doing everything
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: fast against you. But it is for you. It is
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: for you. It is for you. Now from men who
- 1:07:36Speaker 3: were indebted, men who were discontented, men who were in lack.
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: 2 Samuel 23 verse 8. This be the name of
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: the mighty men whom David had. What kind of grace
- 1:07:49Speaker 3: was upon that man? That beggars had suddenly become mighty.
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: And that grace is upon this house. That grace is
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: upon this man of God. People come in their ordinary,
- 1:08:01Speaker 3: they've not discovered their purpose in no time. They are
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: standing tall as men, oh my God, who have discovered
- 1:08:08Speaker 3: and not just are walking in the light of it.
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: But you must submit yourself to be carried by this David.
- 1:08:19Speaker 3: Just help those who are under thee. Shalakab te ren
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: de kredi, shte kreder okosu. Can I quickly call for
- 1:08:32Speaker 3: a summoning? That there are people here that all you
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: have seen so far is still about yourself. And yet
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: there is more. There is this Davidic grace you should carry.
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: In fact, there are some of you here that you
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: are the one that will later carry your parents. You
- 1:08:52Speaker 3: are the one that will later disciple and mentor them.
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: You are the one that will later change the situation
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: of that home. You've been saying, you are no longer
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: permitted to complain about what they didn't give you. Now
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: you have what you should have. You are to go
- 1:09:05Speaker 3: back and change the system. Put your right hand on
- 1:09:15Speaker 3: your head. Say, I walk in the fullness of this
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: Davidic grace. I walk in the fullness. I will never
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: be consumed by my own issues. Can I give you
- 1:09:28Speaker 3: 30 seconds? Help him please. Thank you.
- 1:09:51Speaker 4: Oh me, oh me, oh family, oh family, Thank you.
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 1:10:29Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 1:10:52Speaker 4: Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
- 1:10:57Speaker 3: Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Amen. Help
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: us Lord. Help us. In Jesus mighty name we are praying.
- 1:12:19Speaker 3: Now look up everybody if you can. I have to
- 1:12:27Speaker 3: get out of here now. One of the things God
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: wants to do for you in this season is to
- 1:12:37Speaker 3: reintroduce you to you. He wants to. You can't continue
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: carrying this thing and not know how mighty it is.
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: You can't continue because there are posters you won't take
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: if you have not found out that this is it actually.
- 1:12:56Speaker 3: It's been like this ever since. There are prices you
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: won't pay. There are things you won't do. In fact,
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: there are associations you don't run after that you will
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: run after because you don't know who you are. Veils
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: are falling off. Veils are falling off. Veils are falling off.
- 1:13:25Speaker 3: Men are coming into awareness. Awareness of what has always been.
- 1:13:30Speaker 3: Veils are falling off. So open the eyes of my heart, Lord.
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: Open the eyes of my heart. I want to see.
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: Open the eyes of my heart, Lord. Open the eyes.
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: Of my heart, Lord. Open the eyes of my heart.
- 1:14:08Speaker 5: I want to see your face.
- 1:14:28Speaker 3: Shining in the light of your glory Pour out your
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: power and love As we sing.
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: Holy, holy, holy Holy, holy, holy, we want to see you.
- 1:14:57Speaker 3: We are the mighty men of this house. Men who
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: are emerging under this David. Men who are finding their
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: places in destiny. Rising under this grace. Lift your hands
- 1:15:13Speaker 3: to God and just soak in.
