That We May See (Five Levels of Spiritual Sight) — Pastor Poju Oyemade (Day 3 Morning Session, The General Assembly 2025 with Koinonia) · Selah Media House

  We thank you for all that you have done.
• 0:06
  So. Far in this meeting, in this
• 0:09
  conference for the outpouring of your spirit for utterance you
• 0:14
  have granted for your outstretched hand.
• 0:19
  And as we go into this session, I ask in the mighty name of
• 0:23
  Jesus that you through my lips, what are the seeds that have
• 0:30
  already been planted and add some significant contribution to
• 0:35
  the work that is already going on.
• 0:39
  I ask that your grant utterance, that I speak as your Oracle,
• 0:42
  that your God goes forth, and that light shines on our path
• 0:46
  and wisdom is imparted unto us in Jesus name, Amen.
• 0:53
  I may all be seated and. Let's put our hands together for
• 0:59
  apostle sale, man. This has been a conference with
• 1:03
  excellence and we cannot separate the quality of
• 1:13
  revelation and impartation that has been going on from the
• 1:20
  spirit of the conveyor. Also, who's operations in the
• 1:26
  spirits creates an environment for the kinds of things that we
• 1:33
  are hearing. So Apostle, we appreciate you
• 1:35
  deeply for what God is using you to do in this generation around
• 1:41
  the world is no longer Nigeria is around the world.
• 1:47
  I will suspect he's bigger in countries outside Nigeria than
• 1:52
  even in Nigeria. Amen.
• 1:57
  All right, my dear friend, Reverend Killer Kim with all
• 2:03
  cylinders firing. And that was a powerful message.
• 2:08
  All right, so I'll go back to Revelations chapter 3 and verse
• 2:13
  18 and simply finish what we started last.
• 2:18
  Night the I solve a part. In Revelations 3 and verse 18 it
• 2:26
  says, So I can sell thee, to buy of me gold that is tried with
• 2:31
  fire, that thou mayest be rich and white raiment, that thou
• 2:38
  mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not
• 2:43
  appear, and to anoint thy eyes by sitting still, verse 18 with
• 2:51
  eyesolve there that thou mayst see.
• 2:58
  So this afternoon I want to speak about our eyes being
• 3:04
  anointed with eyesolve that we may see if we go to Genesis
• 3:11
  chapter 19 and verse 10 and verse 11.
• 3:16
  This was the story of what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah,
• 3:20
  and I want to talk about 5 levels of seeing, in other
• 3:25
  words, 5 levels at which you can have spiritual sight.
• 3:31
  And hence Sodom and Gomorrah. The angels had come, so they
• 3:35
  leave a lot. And the Bible says the men had
• 3:39
  gathered together everybody in the town, and they wanted to
• 3:43
  take or write to themselves the angels.
• 3:47
  But these men put forth their hands, those angels now, and
• 3:52
  pulled the lots into the house. So then and shot the door.
• 4:01
  Now the next verse says, and they smote the men that were at
• 4:09
  the door. Now where were the men?
• 4:13
  The men were at the door and they smote the men that were at
• 4:21
  the door of the house with blindness, both smaller and
• 4:29
  great, so they worried themselves to find the door.
• 4:38
  When there is spiritual blindness, the blessing there
• 4:43
  is. Right before you they were
• 4:47
  standing at the door and from a morning until evening they were
• 4:55
  going around at the door and never saw the door.
• 5:02
  And they got tired and left the place because they were blinded
• 5:09
  spiritually. And somebody talks about this
• 5:13
  ice slave here, our eyesight, brother.
• 5:18
  It's talking about the opening up of our eyes.
• 5:23
  The eyesight is an ointment for the eyes that causes you to see
• 5:31
  and have spiritual insights and also clarity and any blessing
• 5:42
  that God gives which brings a breakthrough.
• 5:47
  He always uses something that is available to you that is inside
• 5:55
  of your house. It's just that you are not
• 5:59
  seeing it correctly. When Jesus wanted to feed the
• 6:06
  multitudes, at the end of the day, they talked about the
• 6:11
  money, they talked about things. Jesus said, go into the crowd,
• 6:16
  whatever you can find, bring it. The reason why they ate loaves
• 6:23
  and fish was because what they brought were 5 loaves and fish
• 6:31
  and the person who brought it didn't see the thing correctly,
• 6:37
  he said. What is this among so many?
• 6:42
  In other words, without spiritual eyes, you will
• 6:48
  castaway things that God Himself has designed to bring about
• 6:57
  multiplication and massive breakthroughs into your life.
• 7:04
  It's an issue of recognizing it spiritually.
• 7:09
  God never goes outside of you, so bring about what will bring
• 7:16
  that significant breakthrough in your life.
• 7:20
  Everybody that has walked with God with prophetic insight, they
• 7:24
  have always known that that when the woman came, Elijah asked her
• 7:33
  what do you have in your house? The woman didn't see it
• 7:38
  correctly. She said all that we have, it's
• 7:41
  just this oil here, crews of oil and this small muscle here, and
• 7:46
  we will eat that and die. And she did not recognize what
• 7:52
  was in her hands. Elijah said, What do you, what
• 7:57
  should I do? Tell me, what do you have in
• 7:59
  your house? Thy enhancement hath not
• 8:04
  anything. In other words, she said, I
• 8:07
  don't have anything. She didn't consider it to be
• 8:11
  anything worthwhile. I'm going somewhere but Elijah.
• 8:16
  People with prophetic insight, they know it is always in your
• 8:20
  house. When God met with Moses, he said
• 8:25
  to Moses, what do you have in your hand?
• 8:29
  And Moses looked at it and said it's just a rod.
• 8:34
  And God said it's more than a rod.
• 8:37
  And so when there is spiritual sight here, a person begins to
• 8:42
  see things that they have been calling casual, looking at the
• 8:51
  job that they have, that they have been looking at this and
• 8:54
  saying I'm just a front desk person but with spiritual
• 9:00
  insight. And that's all I want to discuss
• 9:02
  this afternoon with the eyes, salve upon the eyes.
• 9:05
  There a person begins to see beyond the ordinary.
• 9:12
  And so the true nature of things.
• 9:17
  And it's from there stuff begins to come out, which means this is
• 9:22
  more powerful. That's what was said in
• 9:25
  Revelation 38 than even riches in a bank account because what
• 9:32
  Peter said was 200 penny, which means this amount of money is
• 9:36
  not enough to even feed these people.
• 9:40
  But Jesus had that insight into things and he understood it.
• 9:46
  So he said go in. God always has the provision in
• 9:51
  that particular place. When the wine finished in the
• 9:56
  feast and they came to Jesus, Jesus understood that the
• 10:01
  miracle must always be accessible.
• 10:04
  It is something before you that God is going to use.
• 10:09
  And so he looked around and saw it and said, fill these pots
• 10:15
  with water. There were empty pots that were
• 10:18
  right there. Nobody had ever seen anybody do
• 10:23
  that. And it's very frustrating when
• 10:27
  you don't have spiritual insight the same way those people were
• 10:30
  at the door and they wearied themselves to find the door
• 10:35
  without this kind of insights there, real insight.
• 10:41
  What happens is you can be praying about God providing wine
• 10:46
  for you in that feast. And because you are not seen
• 10:49
  correctly, the empty pots He wants to use that look empty and
• 10:54
  the water that he wants to use that looks like water that is
• 10:58
  common. You can even carry away the pots
• 11:01
  because we are praying and because you know you are
• 11:05
  believing that the same way the wine came, the first way is the
• 11:08
  way he's going to do it. And so you miss out on what God
• 11:12
  wants to do. So the first thing I came to do
• 11:15
  this afternoon is to understand, to make you understand you are
• 11:21
  empowered. And that to him that has it
• 11:25
  shall be given. But to him that says I have not,
• 11:30
  even that which he has shall be taken away from him.
• 11:34
  In other words, everybody has something, but some people look
• 11:39
  at themselves and say I have not, I belong, you know, to the
• 11:43
  people that have not. And So what happens is even that
• 11:50
  which they have is taken away from them.
• 11:53
  But the people that say that I have and they're conscious of
• 11:58
  that. So them more will be given.
• 12:02
  You know, many years ago I was reading a book by an economist
• 12:06
  on the Ministry of Capital. And it was Hernande de Soto.
• 12:10
  It was a Chilean. And I think Bill Clinton
• 12:12
  describes him as the greatest mind, economic mind, all right,
• 12:16
  in the developing world. And he says if you combine all
• 12:20
  the foreign investments that have ever enlisted, all of them,
• 12:25
  all that have come into Africa, he said if you go into the
• 12:29
  savings of the people that consider themselves poor in
• 12:33
  Africa and you gather together all their savings, you will find
• 12:37
  out that it exceeds every form of foreign investment that has
• 12:43
  come into the continent, that the wealth is actually with the
• 12:47
  people. The problem is they are holding
• 12:50
  that thing in a defective way. In other words, the scripture
• 12:54
  says the slothful man does not roast what he took hunting.
• 13:00
  In other words, he went to hunt, but he did not roast it, which
• 13:05
  means he didn't derive full value out of what he had in his
• 13:10
  hand. And so even though he had come
• 13:13
  and haunted and felt that the hunting, you know, the physical
• 13:16
  work he had done was the real work, he said the real work is
• 13:19
  actually all right, The extraction from that particular
• 13:23
  thing, the full value there, which means the man who killed
• 13:28
  the cow and ate it, some other person could have extracted
• 13:33
  value from it. They have used the horns to make
• 13:37
  what we call China plate. They have used the hides and
• 13:41
  skin there to make exotic bags that are worth thousands of
• 13:45
  dollars. They have brought out a dairy
• 13:48
  industry with cheese, with water, with milk out of that.
• 13:53
  They have gone into every single part of that cow that that man
• 13:56
  just killed and ate and brought out industries worth billions
• 14:01
  out of those things. So when we talk about eyes that
• 14:04
  see there, in other words, God has always made the provision.
• 14:09
  The issue is for us to have eyes and eyes that see is more
• 14:14
  important and significant than money that you have in your
• 14:17
  bank. You follow what I'm saying here
• 14:20
  and so is this eyes solved here which means the person goes into
• 14:25
  a territory and is able to look and they don't waste time.
• 14:32
  It has been said a genius sees what other people don't see.
• 14:39
  A skillful man can hit a target, but the genius is the one that
• 14:43
  spots the target. And so even though he doesn't
• 14:46
  have as much skill as other people, he may not have as much
• 14:50
  resources as other people, but because he saw it first and
• 14:55
  entered into it first, he has that advantage, all right, and
• 15:00
  he enters into certain things. So I want us to understand this
• 15:04
  and embrace this and understand the power of this ISIL.
• 15:08
  In other words, it is always in your house.
• 15:12
  The blessing is always in your house.
• 15:16
  If you are a pastor, the people that will grow that church and
• 15:20
  multiply that church are inside of that church.
• 15:24
  You may be bypassing them. You may consider them as being
• 15:27
  casual people. I am not putting enough
• 15:30
  attention on them. But the church, if it's going to
• 15:33
  grow organically, is going to come by you recognizing the
• 15:38
  people that are within that particular place.
• 15:40
  Because to him that has more shall be given, but to him that
• 15:44
  goes around and says I have not even that which he has shall be
• 15:48
  taken away from him. It is interesting in statistics
• 15:52
  of church today, 82% of people that are moving into mega
• 15:57
  churches are coming from small churches.
• 16:00
  Only 2% are coming directly from the world.
• 16:03
  In other words, small churches are now becoming feeder programs
• 16:07
  for mega churches. But it's the small churches that
• 16:10
  are even reaching people and getting them saved.
• 16:13
  And then after some time, and the reason is because a lot of
• 16:16
  the pastors hold their small churches and look at themselves
• 16:20
  as being inferior. To a person with a mega church.
• 16:24
  Look at themselves then as though, what is this among so
• 16:27
  many? Preach to them with a sense of
• 16:29
  dissatisfaction, preach to them there with a sense of
• 16:33
  inferiority. And people pick that up in the
• 16:36
  Spirit. And then they move away and say
• 16:38
  we're going to a place, all right, that is where we should
• 16:41
  actually go to. So it's important that we
• 16:44
  understand this if we're going to have true and genuine growth
• 16:47
  there, that everybody begins to recognize that the miracle is
• 16:54
  inside my house, that the thing that God is going to use to get
• 16:59
  me to the next level is available on to me.
• 17:04
  I just have to see this correctly.
• 17:08
  I have to open my eyes there and in prayer I will see this and
• 17:13
  see what is around me and see them correctly.
• 17:17
  These are not empty pots. These are not just.
• 17:20
  This is not just what I used to wash my.
• 17:22
  Hands that I see in the realm of the Spirit how we can extract
• 17:28
  value out of these things. There's a story I'll tell often.
• 17:34
  It's a powerful story, and I'll tell it again in Genesis chapter
• 17:38
  21 and verse 11. Genesis 21 and verse 11.
• 17:43
  We have the story here and I want us to understand it because
• 17:47
  we have been blessed already with every spiritual blessing in
• 17:51
  heavenly places in Christ Jesus. God has done his part and He has
• 17:57
  given to us. And in Genesis chapter 21 and
• 18:01
  verse 11, we see Abraham here. He had an issue within his
• 18:07
  family and we'll talk about this.
• 18:10
  Abraham had had had tried to help God, and So what happened
• 18:17
  was Ishmael came forth. And so when it was time for
• 18:22
  Isaac and Isaac now came, There was a conflict between Isaac and
• 18:29
  Ishmael. But as far as Abraham was
• 18:32
  concerned emotionally, now Ishmael was his first son.
• 18:39
  Ishmael may have looked just like Abraham.
• 18:43
  Ishmael had grown up in the house for say 13 years just with
• 18:47
  Abraham. They had developed a bond.
• 18:52
  And then one day Sarah said Ishmael has got to go.
• 18:57
  And God spoke to Abraham and said Sarah is correct.
• 19:01
  Ishmael has got to go now. So what happened in Genesis or
• 19:06
  the Scripture there 2111 was that the thing was very
• 19:12
  grievous. It really hot Abraham very
• 19:16
  grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
• 19:21
  And then the next verse tells us, and God said to Abraham, let
• 19:26
  it not be grievous in thy sight, which means it hot Abraham to
• 19:31
  make this decision because of the lad and because of the
• 19:36
  bondwoman. And in the next phase, I'll talk
• 19:40
  about how we, we shouldn't give birth to Ishmael because if you
• 19:44
  give birth to an Ishmael, you, you, you, you can almost create
• 19:50
  a, a civil war within your church or within your
• 19:54
  organization or within your family there.
• 19:58
  And it becomes more difficult to do what God wants you to do.
• 20:03
  But God said unto him, Let it not be grievous in thy sight,
• 20:06
  because of the lad, and because of the bond woman, in all that
• 20:09
  Sarah has said unto they, hacking to her voice.
• 20:12
  For in Isaac shall their seed be called.
• 20:15
  And in the next verse he now tells us, And also the son of
• 20:19
  the bond woman, that's Ishmael. I will make a nation, because he
• 20:23
  is thy seed. So Abraham was going to make a
• 20:26
  decision now to let Ishmael go. The Scripture has described
• 20:32
  Abraham in four chapters before this, that Abraham was very rich
• 20:38
  in silver and in gold and in cattle.
• 20:43
  Very. He didn't say rich, very rich in
• 20:47
  silver, gold and cattle. Should he not think that if
• 20:52
  Abraham is going to send his four son out of the house, I
• 20:56
  shall have some sense of guilt? It's not the fault of the boy.
• 21:00
  You are the one who gave birth to this boy.
• 21:03
  He is your first son. And back then when they send you
• 21:07
  out so you can see this, everyone was very rich in
• 21:10
  cattle, in silver and gold. If they send you out, you are
• 21:15
  not coming back again, which means when they say we send you,
• 21:18
  you are gone. And Ishmael wasn't going to come
• 21:22
  back. The next time Ishmael came into
• 21:25
  the area where Abraham was, was for the funeral of Abraham.
• 21:29
  So he was going. Don't you think that the father
• 21:34
  you are sending out your first son, you have silver, gold and
• 21:39
  cartoon in abundance. Would you take some silver, some
• 21:44
  gold and some cattle and give it to the boy and say you can go
• 21:49
  with this? This should be enough for you,
• 21:53
  you know, you know, So you, you have something and this, your
• 21:55
  inheritance from my house, you have something to start life
• 21:59
  with. And, and at least Abraham will
• 22:02
  have been pacified by that, that I've done something good.
• 22:05
  And Ishmael will also have left me.
• 22:07
  At least you'll be glad in his heart that my father has left me
• 22:11
  with some inheritance. You know, I can go with this.
• 22:15
  But look at what Abraham did in the next verse.
• 22:18
  Very significant in Genesis 21. All right, let's go to verse 14.
• 22:25
  Genesis 21, verse 14. And Abraham rose up early in the
• 22:30
  morning, and he took bread, one loaf of bread.
• 22:35
  This is a man that is very rich in silver, gold and cattle.
• 22:38
  He took one loaf of bread and a bottle of water.
• 22:45
  And Ishmael was leaving his house, looking at silver, gold,
• 22:49
  and at. Cattle.
• 22:51
  And you are sending me out, and all you give me is a loaf of
• 22:55
  bread, and all you give me is a bottle of water.
• 22:59
  And we are going into the wilderness, into the desert.
• 23:03
  And it's giving that to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder and
• 23:07
  the child. And he sent her away, and she
• 23:09
  departed and wandered in the wilderness of the Shiva.
• 23:15
  And then the next verse, after some time, the water was spent
• 23:18
  in the bottle. And what did Hagar do?
• 23:21
  She took her child Ishmael, and cast the child under one of the
• 23:26
  shrubs. For she went and sat over
• 23:30
  against him, a good way of, as it were, a bullshot, For she
• 23:34
  said, Let me not see the death of my child.
• 23:38
  And she sat over against him, lifted up her voice, and wept.
• 23:43
  So Hagar began crying. She wasn't praying.
• 23:46
  And I will show you this. She was crying that this boy is
• 23:49
  going to die, this boy is going to die.
• 23:52
  And she put him far away from her because as a mother, she
• 23:56
  couldn't look at the sun deteriorate his skin and his
• 24:00
  flesh getting eaten up under the sun and die.
• 24:04
  She could not do it. So she put him away and started
• 24:07
  wailing and crying. But I believe that Ishmael
• 24:12
  understood something, and I believe that a week before, so
• 24:16
  when God gave Abraham that instruction to let go of
• 24:19
  Ishmael, that Abraham called Ishmael and taught him the
• 24:23
  covenant, he said, sit down. This is how great nations come
• 24:28
  out of people. This is how people become great.
• 24:33
  All right, What happens is I will say this, they may start
• 24:37
  off with little, but there's one quality that they have.
• 24:41
  And he taught him and told him that once this bottle of water
• 24:46
  finishes and this loaf of bread finishes, the covenant is going
• 24:51
  to kick in. And Ishmael, what you should do
• 24:55
  is to pray this unto God. This is your prayer point.
• 25:00
  Pray this single pray unto God, and my God will show up.
• 25:05
  Because this is. How it always happens.
• 25:08
  And so she went there and wept. The next verse, verse 17, the
• 25:12
  Bible tells us God heard the voice of who?
• 25:16
  The lad. He didn't hear the voice of
• 25:18
  Hagar. Hagar wasn't praying.
• 25:20
  The lad Ishmael was the one that prayed.
• 25:23
  God heard the voice of the lad, and the Angel called to Hagar
• 25:27
  and said out of heaven unto her, What in let be?
• 25:30
  In other words, what's troubling you?
• 25:32
  What's the matter? Why are you troubled?
• 25:34
  Because as far as they were concerned, there's no trouble
• 25:36
  here. What in let be fear not God has
• 25:41
  heard the voice of the lad where he is.
• 25:46
  In other words, where you drop that boy, He has prayed unto God
• 25:50
  the prayer you should pray during this time when you come
• 25:54
  to a point where you have come to an end in yourself.
• 25:56
  He has prayed it and God has heard him.
• 25:59
  Therefore, the next verse they said to her, Arise, lift up the
• 26:03
  lad and hold him in thy hand, for I will make him a great
• 26:06
  nation. In other words, there is a
• 26:08
  nation in what you threw away and said, This is for death and
• 26:12
  all of that. There is a great nation on the
• 26:14
  inside of it. Listen, I hope you are hearing
• 26:18
  me in the spirit. What will make this continent
• 26:21
  great is inside this continent. Are you following what I'm
• 26:24
  saying here? What we need is our eyes that
• 26:27
  see, eyes that see, eyes that see.
• 26:29
  Look at what it says arise. I will make it a great nation.
• 26:32
  Look at the next verse. The Bible says, and God opened
• 26:35
  her eyes and she saw a well of water.
• 26:39
  The well was always there, but her eyes were closed.
• 26:45
  If you are in any situation and you say God, where is the
• 26:47
  provision? I am telling you it is there.
• 26:51
  And what he prayed was that open my eyes, open our eyes that we
• 26:56
  may see. And she went and filled the
• 26:58
  bottle, which means this is no longer just a bottle of water.
• 27:02
  This is a continuous supply. They open them up to a perpetual
• 27:07
  supply that they could use for farming.
• 27:09
  They could use there for different things, not just
• 27:12
  drinking. That bottle of water was only to
• 27:14
  drink. Now they had gotten a well there
• 27:16
  from the well, several things, but the well was always there.
• 27:21
  They just did not see it. That's why David played in Psalm
• 27:25
  13. This was his prayer covenant.
• 27:29
  People understand this prayer, he says Psalm 13, verse one
• 27:34
  David, Psalm 13. How long will that forget me,
• 27:36
  your Lord? Forever.
• 27:37
  How long will thou hide thy face from me?
• 27:40
  Verse 2 He says, How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
• 27:44
  having sorrow in my heart daily? How long shall my enemy?
• 27:47
  Be exalted over me. What was the prayer he prayed?
• 27:50
  Consider and have your Lord lighten my eyes, lest I sleep
• 27:55
  the sleep of death. In other words, open my.
• 27:57
  Eyes. And if you open my eyes, this
• 27:59
  death cannot have control over me again.
• 28:01
  That was his prayer. And that's the prayer here.
• 28:05
  And that's why he says, I solve here the ointment there that
• 28:09
  will cause you to see that you understand that.
• 28:13
  Listen, I'm not going on the outside.
• 28:15
  I'm not trying to meet this person or meet that.
• 28:18
  I want to recognize to him that has it shall be given to him
• 28:23
  that has not even that which he has will be taken, which means
• 28:27
  the person who says I have not actually has.
• 28:30
  He just doesn't see or she doesn't see it and recognise
• 28:33
  that. So when they go into
• 28:35
  relationships there, they lose what they have because they
• 28:39
  don't see what they have on the inside of themselves.
• 28:44
  So it's important that we understand the power of this eye
• 28:48
  self here, which is eyes that see, which is we stop looking
• 28:54
  down on things. I I was telling Reverend Julie
• 28:59
  and I think we're in Nairobi together last week and I told
• 29:02
  him. You know I will.
• 29:04
  Invite people from here, invite people from here on, you know,
• 29:06
  for our meetings. And one day God stopped me and
• 29:09
  said look what you in fact somebody told me something and
• 29:12
  then after that reject my consciousness.
• 29:14
  And God said all those things you are looking for everywhere
• 29:16
  is in Africa and time to Africa. The treasures are embedded
• 29:20
  there. There's enough resources in the
• 29:23
  continent going to the continent there.
• 29:29
  So the second principle here about this scene.
• 29:33
  So never talk in the way that you don't have.
• 29:37
  Don't say that, you know, because I was born on the on the
• 29:40
  wrong. Side I was born.
• 29:43
  Everybody was born on the wrong side.
• 29:47
  Jesus himself was born on the wrong side.
• 29:50
  You follow what I'm saying by natural bath.
• 29:53
  He was born on the wrong side, He was born outside wedlock.
• 29:56
  You can be complaining about things, all those things you can
• 29:58
  find in people, but they didn't make noise about those things.
• 30:02
  They understood and said, God, there is something inside this.
• 30:13
  So the second thing I want us to see about this I solve here
• 30:20
  because not only does he give you insight into things, it also
• 30:26
  gives you clarity on issues. And the second thing is the
• 30:33
  Muslim will get a clarity, insight and then clarity there
• 30:41
  in John Chapter 9 and verse 6, Jesus when he had spoken, he
• 30:49
  spot on the ground made clear of the spittle and anointed the
• 30:55
  eyes of the blind man with clay. Now in in another rendition of
• 31:04
  this, I think it's a Luke or Mark, he's told the man, open
• 31:09
  your eyes and look. He anointed him with clay.
• 31:13
  And the man said, I see men as trees and I see men as trees.
• 31:20
  And Jesus now told him that second thing there in verse 7,
• 31:24
  He said go and wash in the pool that is called John 97 please.
• 31:30
  Pool that is called Siloam, which means set John 97 please.
• 31:37
  All right. Said to him, go wash in the pool
• 31:39
  of Siloam, which by interpretation he means set.
• 31:42
  And when he went and washed, he said he came back seeing
• 31:47
  clearly. Now the second thing about this
• 31:50
  is that you name it. In order to have this eye salve
• 31:55
  on your eyes to see, you're needed to pray.
• 32:00
  You say it's more than being gifted, it's more than being
• 32:06
  anointed. You have got to be set and
• 32:13
  therefore you have to wash your eyes in the pool called set.
• 32:20
  A person can be called of God. A person can be gifted and
• 32:27
  anointed by God, but that person was not has not yet been sent by
• 32:35
  God. And a lot of problems that we
• 32:39
  have today is that there are many people that are called and
• 32:44
  they are gifted and they are responding to the calling and to
• 32:50
  the gifty without washing their eyes in that pool called Siloam,
• 32:58
  that they may be sent. I will confess to you, when we
• 33:05
  started at church, looking back now with hindsight, I was called
• 33:09
  and anointed, but I was not yet sent by God.
• 33:16
  But the circumstances under which I was, I knew that look, I
• 33:19
  had no choice. Something had to start, but I
• 33:22
  was not yet sent. And once you get to that place
• 33:28
  of being sent, resources begin to come in.
• 33:33
  Jesus said when I sent you, did you lack anything?
• 33:40
  Once you get into that place of being sent, there is a grace
• 33:45
  that comes into your life. Paul said when they saw the
• 33:49
  grace that was given unto me, the same.
• 33:53
  He says that I should preach this among the Gentiles.
• 33:56
  You could see it was sent. When you are sent, there's
• 33:58
  clarity. You know who you are supposed to
• 34:01
  speak to. You know where you're supposed
• 34:03
  to go. There's clarity on it being
• 34:06
  sent. There is clarity when you're
• 34:08
  anointed. You see men as trees there, all
• 34:11
  right? Everything will be hazy.
• 34:13
  You won't know. You know you'll be any
• 34:15
  opportunity that comes your way, you go with it.
• 34:18
  You know you'll be seeing men as trees.
• 34:20
  People will know you're anointed, but the really impact
• 34:24
  is not there because you have not yet been sent.
• 34:27
  And I'm sure what and what to do here.
• 34:29
  So that person gets sent by God and so when you are sent there,
• 34:35
  Paul said, The one that was mighty in me towards the
• 34:38
  Gentiles, you could see he knew what?
• 34:40
  He's calling was he said the same was mighty in in Peter
• 34:44
  towards the circumcision. In other words, if Peter crossed
• 34:48
  and came to the to to the right, he crossed and came to the to
• 34:53
  the to the Gentiles that. Grace will have been withdrawn
• 34:56
  and the might of God will not have been seen.
• 34:58
  If Paul moved to go and preach to the Jews, that grace will not
• 35:02
  have been seen and. And you will see it in the book
• 35:04
  of Acts, you will see in Galatians that when Peter
• 35:07
  crossed and came to the Gentile territory, you could see it
• 35:10
  became almost like an ordinary man that Paul had to rebuke him.
• 35:13
  You will also see that when Paul also tried to go to Jerusalem to
• 35:17
  go and win people, in fact, he almost lost his entire ministry
• 35:22
  and all of that. They had to carry him, you know,
• 35:24
  like a mere man and all of that because they they went outside
• 35:28
  the areas of their grace. So what happens is we've got to
• 35:32
  understand that there's the calling and then there's being
• 35:36
  sent. Let's use Moses as an example.
• 35:39
  So if you believe, and I'm not just talking about ministry, you
• 35:43
  can be an entrepreneur and you're working in a place and
• 35:47
  God has. Put it in your heart that one
• 35:50
  day you are going to start a business that is going to go
• 35:53
  global. You have to be sent so you don't
• 35:57
  give birth to an Ishmael. That when the time comes and you
• 36:01
  are now sent and you go with the Isaac, the Ishmael is fighting
• 36:05
  against the Isaac and you have a conflict on your hands here
• 36:10
  because you stepped out prematurely and created
• 36:13
  something out there that is now militating and working against
• 36:18
  you. All right when you now get sent,
• 36:20
  but there's something you do while you are there working in
• 36:23
  the office. All right, you know that God has
• 36:26
  called me to do that and you're working there and and you're
• 36:30
  going to see this. You'll find out that you if
• 36:32
  after we get into it, the ideas that you are going to use, the
• 36:36
  ideas you are going to use there, you probably will come
• 36:40
  into contact with those ideas where you are working.
• 36:44
  You will see it. You will see the opportunity in
• 36:46
  that particular place as a reward for your faithfulness and
• 36:50
  your devotion to that particular thing.
• 36:53
  Even when you knew on inside of yourself that God has called me
• 36:57
  to start my own business. Because the Bible says you a man
• 37:00
  who is not faithful in the things of another man, who shall
• 37:04
  give him his own. And if a man is not faithful
• 37:06
  with your righteous mammon, he says, who will give him the true
• 37:09
  riches? So you are faithful, you are
• 37:11
  doing, but there is something that you are doing that Moses
• 37:14
  failed to do that cost Moses all right big time.
• 37:18
  And we see in Acts Chapter 7 and verse 23, now you're going to
• 37:23
  the pool that is called St. where you're going to get
• 37:26
  clarity. Now where a person knows in very
• 37:29
  clear terms, this is what I'm supposed to do.
• 37:32
  And please let me advise you. The Bible says you shall.
• 37:36
  Go out with joy and you shall be LED forth in peace.
• 37:41
  Don't ever live anywhere because you know you are just offended
• 37:45
  at people and you are angry. The Bible says many shall be
• 37:50
  offended. The next verse it tells us and
• 37:53
  false prophet shall arise. A prophet is not just a prophet
• 37:57
  is a seer in the scriptures is not a speaker is a seer.
• 38:01
  That's why when he came he said he said I have not sent them.
• 38:04
  He says for I they have seen nothing, they have seen nothing.
• 38:09
  A prophet testifies of what they have seen.
• 38:12
  The real key to the prophetic ministry is not the speaking,
• 38:16
  but they have the ability to see.
• 38:18
  And so when he says false prophets will arise there, what
• 38:21
  he's saying is that people with wrong visions will arise.
• 38:24
  When you get offended, you see what you are not supposed to
• 38:27
  see, all right? And then you start running with
• 38:30
  something you're not supposed to run with.
• 38:31
  Let me give an example. There was a gentleman in church
• 38:34
  when we started church there. And what happened to him was
• 38:37
  working in a corporation, big corporation, and there was a
• 38:41
  promotion exercise they didn't give him.
• 38:43
  The second one they didn't give him and he got offended and
• 38:46
  resigned. But it just happened to come in
• 38:50
  for a midweek service and I was teaching on offense as the bait
• 38:54
  of Satan and I said you go out with joy and you are LED forth
• 38:58
  in peace. Always go out with joy and be
• 39:00
  LED forth in peace. Don't go out of a place with
• 39:03
  offense in your heart. And he scratched his head.
• 39:06
  He said and as far as he was concerned, he was going to start
• 39:10
  a nail making factory in Lagos, which means they'll be making
• 39:14
  nails. And he said from kids, he was
• 39:16
  working for one of the top consulting firms in Nigeria.
• 39:18
  From his working in that consulting firm, he had seen
• 39:21
  there was a deficiency all right back then.
• 39:23
  This was in the 90s in nails there in the country was going
• 39:26
  to do that. And he had put in his letter of
• 39:28
  resignation. He had the message.
• 39:30
  He said he went back and told his boss, I'm sorry, could you
• 39:33
  give me back my letter of resignation?
• 39:35
  You know, I want to stay in here.
• 39:37
  And he said he stayed there. Now, he didn't tell me this
• 39:39
  until about a year and a half after.
• 39:42
  And then he told me a year and a half after.
• 39:43
  He said, you know what? I heard that message and I went
• 39:46
  back. I sat down.
• 39:47
  He said there was a next promotion exercise.
• 39:49
  I got it. There was another promotion
• 39:51
  exercise. I got it, they said, and I was
• 39:53
  happy and I was good and I was in a place of joy.
• 39:57
  And then he said and then God said you can't go now.
• 40:01
  And he said I had nothing. I just I didn't have an office.
• 40:05
  I am talking about the top consulting firm, not just in
• 40:09
  Nigeria, globally. At that particular point in
• 40:11
  time, he said I had nothing, my office was going to be in the
• 40:16
  dining table. He said my wife was pregnant
• 40:18
  with her first child. My father-in-law came and said
• 40:21
  you are taking making a risk here.
• 40:22
  How can you go out like this, You are your wife and all.
• 40:25
  He said he just knows this the time to go.
• 40:27
  So he, you know, left the place on Friday and was going to start
• 40:33
  on his dining table, his business to he still held onto
• 40:36
  it, a male manufacturing company on Sunday.
• 40:40
  He got a phone call on Monday morning from his boss and his
• 40:43
  boss said, well, there is an oil company that has just come in,
• 40:48
  oil servicing company and they want us to do their taxation for
• 40:51
  them. However, when we charge them and
• 40:54
  give them the invoice, they said this is too expensive for us.
• 40:57
  And so they said we'll go and look for somebody else.
• 40:59
  Then I said, wait a minute, hold it.
• 41:00
  The guy who will have led the team to come and do and help you
• 41:03
  work on your tax has just resigned from here.
• 41:06
  But he has the mind. He knows the quality of work.
• 41:09
  If I call him, can he? And he won't charge the way we
• 41:11
  charge will, will you allow him? Call him, call him, call him,
• 41:14
  call him. All right.
• 41:15
  This was in 1996 or so. And he, he went to do that job.
• 41:21
  I think they paid him then $26,000.
• 41:25
  That nail factory has not started till now.
• 41:28
  It is that thing that he has been doing.
• 41:30
  You see, when you're offended, you don't see correctly in the
• 41:33
  spirit realm. And so it is important, all
• 41:36
  right, that you take offence. That's what he's still doing.
• 41:39
  He built an entire world for a General Hospital in Lagos from
• 41:44
  that business. But you see.
• 41:45
  He, he, he. It was something he was there
• 41:48
  all right, but Satan wanted to push him out of that particular
• 41:52
  place there with offence in his heart.
• 41:54
  So what what happened here in Acts Chapter 7 verse 23?
• 41:57
  Let's look at Moses. Acts 27 verse 27, Acts 7 verse
• 42:02
  23. Rather, let's look at the life
• 42:04
  of Moses quickly. All right, Acts 7 verse 23.
• 42:09
  And when he was full of 40 years old, he came to his heart.
• 42:14
  That's this. When Moses was called, it
• 42:15
  entered into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of
• 42:20
  Israel. And seeing one of them suffer
• 42:23
  wrong, he defended him and avenged him that all right
• 42:28
  oppressed and smothed the Egyptian, For he supposed that
• 42:33
  his brethren would have understood how God by his own
• 42:37
  hand. That's by his hand.
• 42:38
  Moses will deliver them. But they understood not.
• 42:43
  And the next day he showed himself unto them.
• 42:46
  He was responding to a calling. The calling was correct.
• 42:50
  Show them as the strove, that you will have said them at one
• 42:53
  again, saying, SARS, you are brethren, why do you do wrong
• 42:56
  one to another? And he that did is never wrong.
• 43:00
  Thrust him away, saying, Who made thee A ruler and a judge
• 43:04
  over us? Who made you a ruler and a
• 43:06
  judge? Will thou kill me as thou did to
• 43:09
  the Egyptian yesterday? Then fled Moses at this same,
• 43:13
  and was a stranger in the land of Media, and where he begat two
• 43:17
  sons. And when 40 years was expired,
• 43:22
  there appeared unto him in the wilderness in the mount of
• 43:26
  Sinai, an Angel of the Lord, in the flame of fire in a Bush.
• 43:30
  And when was he saw it? We saw it this year, as they
• 43:32
  said, the voice of God. Verse 32.
• 43:35
  It tells us that I am God of thy fathers, and God of Isaac, God
• 43:39
  of Jacob. Then Moses tremble, and those
• 43:40
  behold. And verse 33.
• 43:42
  Then he said to him, Put off your shoes, this your holy
• 43:44
  ground. Next verse I have seen, I have
• 43:48
  seen the affliction of my people, which is in Egypt.
• 43:52
  I have heard their groanings and I hear what God said.
• 43:57
  I am. Calm down, God himself said.
• 44:01
  I have come down to deliver them.
• 44:04
  Now come, and I will send thee. He got that calling and I
• 44:11
  believe, well, you can't. It's what I believe.
• 44:13
  Like Reverend Julian says, it's an opinion, but I'm strong.
• 44:17
  I'm correct on this opinion because when you see that God
• 44:22
  told Abraham 400 years, they will come out.
• 44:26
  They came out on the 430th year. Why did he extend to 30 years
• 44:33
  after what God had said? What had happened was that on
• 44:36
  the 390th year it entered into the heart of Moses.
• 44:41
  Moses should have spent that time praying to God about the
• 44:46
  calling, not stepping out into it.
• 44:50
  He should have taken the calling and that's what some of you
• 44:52
  should be doing, Praying to God and praying about what you feel
• 44:56
  on the inside. Being faithful where you are,
• 44:59
  but praying and praying and praying.
• 45:03
  Even if you read the Bible and you have insight from the
• 45:05
  Scripture doesn't mean you should go and start something.
• 45:08
  It means take this insight and go and pray.
• 45:11
  Daniel understood by books, all right, what was written in the
• 45:14
  book of Jeremiah. He turned his face to prayer.
• 45:17
  Jesus knew he was called. The first thing they did was
• 45:21
  that he went on 40 days of prayer there.
• 45:23
  You turn yourself to prayer, not to act on that call, because if
• 45:27
  you act, you are going to commit.
• 45:29
  That's what happened to Moses. The same thing Abraham did.
• 45:33
  He went. In and and cause problem.
• 45:35
  All right, they go in and cause problem and I believe that to
• 45:37
  extend another 30 years until the children of Israel began to
• 45:41
  cry unto God and God said the condition for somebody to be
• 45:45
  sent is now here. And God said I have come down,
• 45:49
  so I am. There's a difference between you
• 45:53
  going to do something and God coming down and saying I've
• 45:56
  heard the prayer I am now sending you.
• 46:00
  And when he sent him, there was clarity.
• 46:02
  He said go to Pharaoh. He gave him the message.
• 46:05
  Tell Pharaoh, let my people go, that they might serve me.
• 46:09
  It was clear. When you are sent, there is
• 46:12
  clarity. These are the people you are
• 46:14
  sent to. This is the message you are sent
• 46:16
  to do. This is the product you are sent
• 46:19
  to. These are the homogeneous group
• 46:20
  or the groups of people you are sent to.
• 46:23
  With this particular thing, there is clarity.
• 46:25
  There. You have washed in the pool
• 46:27
  called asylum. And so it became clear.
• 46:29
  And he says, go to Pharaoh and tell him first year the Lord let
• 46:33
  my people go that they might serve me.
• 46:36
  He gave him the message. He told him who to send the
• 46:38
  message to in order for the deliverance to be wrought.
• 46:42
  Signs, wonders began to happen with the Lord that was in the
• 46:46
  hands of Moses. Moses was correct 40 years
• 46:49
  before that, but he didn't process it properly.
• 46:52
  He was anointed by God for it, but didn't process it properly.
• 46:56
  The time where you are anointed is not the time where you are.
• 46:59
  Sent. David was anointed as king in
• 47:02
  his bedroom. He had to go through in his
• 47:05
  father's living room. He had to go through a process
• 47:07
  for him to arrive at the point where he became king.
• 47:11
  There was a time where a person is anointed and there's a time
• 47:15
  where a person is sent. And one of the reasons why we're
• 47:18
  having a lot of failures is that many called people are stepping
• 47:22
  out. Many anointed people are
• 47:24
  stepping out, many gifted people are stepping out.
• 47:26
  Many people are working that haven't developed within in the
• 47:30
  corporate sector or like the skill set to be able to manage
• 47:33
  real businesses and all of that. This is why I'm saying this to a
• 47:38
  very great degree. Women are getting more
• 47:40
  economically powerful than men, particularly today in this
• 47:43
  country. The reason is that the man says
• 47:45
  I want to be an entrepreneur. He resigns from the job.
• 47:47
  He doesn't yet have capacity. He has not yet been sent.
• 47:50
  The woman stays there on the job.
• 47:52
  They are becoming managing directors of banks.
• 47:54
  They are becoming entering the powerful thing, but the men
• 47:56
  prematurely get out and because they are not sent, they don't
• 48:00
  see anything cleaning. They anointed you.
• 48:02
  Talk to them. They have ideas.
• 48:04
  They have all of this, but they are not saying.
• 48:06
  They can give you 100 ideas, but none of those ideas are working.
• 48:12
  When you are sent, you have washed out the pool called
• 48:15
  asylum, you know, cleaning. And what happens, the resources
• 48:19
  begin to come. He says, when I send it, did you
• 48:22
  like anything? Which means if you're going to
• 48:23
  the house, you'll find somebody who will invest in that thing
• 48:27
  and give you peace. You says you might go into some
• 48:29
  places and you know they, they, they, they won't give you the
• 48:32
  peace. They won't take you in.
• 48:34
  And all of that says don't, don't bother yourself.
• 48:35
  Don't force yourself on anybody. When I send you, I have prepared
• 48:39
  people that will receive you, give you peace, will help you to
• 48:44
  finance what you are doing without requiring that they take
• 48:47
  your soul in exchange for it. So he may be called and anointed
• 48:54
  or gifted, but it's not yet time.
• 48:59
  And so you have to spend time with God in prayer there.
• 49:04
  Jesus spoke about this when he started his ministry.
• 49:07
  He said before you say physician, heal yourself.
• 49:11
  He said answer this question first.
• 49:14
  He said was Elijah? Were there not many widows in
• 49:19
  the whole of Israel? And God is compassionate towards
• 49:21
  widows, so he went there. He said there were many widows
• 49:24
  in Israel, but only to the widow at Zarephath was Elijah sent.
• 49:30
  In other words, Elijah can be anointed, but the anointing will
• 49:33
  only work where he he's sent. And when he got there, he was
• 49:41
  sent to that place. So if you anointed and not sent,
• 49:47
  you may share the word of God and people will say, man, you
• 49:51
  are powerful, you are anointed, but you know because you are not
• 49:55
  sent, you may not answer the questions that are in their
• 49:58
  heart. You may not solve the problems
• 50:01
  that are in their lives. They are impressed at your
• 50:04
  anointed. They are impressed at your
• 50:06
  gifting, but it's not transforming their lives.
• 50:10
  It's not actually making the kind of impact that it's
• 50:13
  supposed to make. And so there's a waiting period
• 50:16
  between the time when a person is called and anointed and when
• 50:20
  a person is sent. And this waiting period, I'm
• 50:23
  telling you, a lot of times, right, people have gone out.
• 50:26
  They are correct. All.
• 50:27
  Right. They are right in what they do
• 50:29
  have done there. It's just like we heard Bishop
• 50:34
  what was saying. You can carry the arc and you
• 50:37
  don't. You didn't do it the right way.
• 50:38
  Your intent was correct, and in the things of God is more than
• 50:42
  intent. You, you have to do it right.
• 50:45
  You can't just say, well, I meant right.
• 50:47
  You, you may mean right, but at the end of the day, people have
• 50:51
  lost their lives. Well, you meant right.
• 50:53
  You, you come just beyond meaning right.
• 50:56
  You have to have the wisdom on the inside of yourself, all
• 51:00
  right to be able to get that particular thing done.
• 51:04
  So there's the. Pool that is called sent and all
• 51:08
  of us should go there as a second thing of sin, which means
• 51:11
  #1 there's the prayer where I pray, where I see what is in my
• 51:15
  environment and you are walking and you, God begins to show you
• 51:19
  pockets, you know, of opportunities that are there.
• 51:22
  You start seeing things you say, well, they just made me a
• 51:25
  receptionist, a front desk person.
• 51:27
  But if you are praying, God give me eyes to see things in this
• 51:30
  business here you begin to collect data.
• 51:34
  You know, let me say this here, a person might you know Jesus
• 51:40
  said Jesus said you have he told the people he said you've never
• 51:44
  heard his voice neither have you ever seen his shape.
• 51:49
  But but you search the scriptures, but you haven't seen
• 51:51
  it. You can see God in your
• 51:55
  environment. Literally, if your eyes are
• 51:58
  open, you see him in your environment there.
• 52:01
  You know there is a. Story.
• 52:05
  This is not a story. An actual fact is documented in
• 52:08
  a book by Peter Wagner of blessed memory.
• 52:12
  And he was talking about why you know, you know, you know, he was
• 52:18
  talking about, you know, everything anybody tells you to
• 52:23
  do to succeed anything. If you go and meet somebody and
• 52:26
  say, well, what do you do to succeed?
• 52:28
  This is why you have to see. And he tells you, I did 12345I
• 52:32
  guarantee you you will see people who have done the 12345
• 52:36
  on field if you want me. And I say, what do you do?
• 52:39
  I fasted, I prayed, I read my Bible.
• 52:41
  I guarantee you you'll have 10 people that fasted, prayed, read
• 52:44
  their Bible, nothing. This is the ministry of sin.
• 52:47
  All right, Someone says, well, I'm a giver.
• 52:50
  I did this. I guarantee you, you will see
• 52:54
  123. And one of the things that is
• 52:55
  not helping us in the church is that we are not scientific about
• 52:59
  things. Scientific means that you look
• 53:02
  at. If 10 people say that, listen,
• 53:05
  you know, we got blessed. You look into the lives of the
• 53:08
  10 people to identify the common traits within them, and then you
• 53:13
  begin to know exactly what is triggering.
• 53:16
  All right, that listen, a person can come out, let me tell you
• 53:20
  this and tell you This is why I succeeded.
• 53:23
  And, and they are not lying, but what they're actually saying is
• 53:27
  not the correct thing because they themselves may not have
• 53:31
  understood what was at play within the environment that
• 53:35
  actually made them even can come out and say, oh, I did this, I
• 53:38
  did that. And they are speaking truly from
• 53:40
  their heart. But you know, you know, you,
• 53:43
  they, they don't understand it. And, and, and you know, you just
• 53:47
  may not know, but you are being truthful.
• 53:49
  You know, he was talking about this church that was growing in
• 53:52
  a certain area in in America and it was in the northern part of
• 53:57
  America. And culturally, the southern
• 54:00
  part of America is different culturally from the northern
• 54:03
  part of America. So what happened now the church
• 54:06
  was growing. And so they went to meet the
• 54:08
  pastor and asked him, so why is your church growing?
• 54:10
  And he said, because we preached on diluted word of God, we stick
• 54:13
  to this teach people do discipleship and people love
• 54:16
  that. And that's why our church is
• 54:18
  growing. So they took it down.
• 54:20
  Thank you very much. Then I went across the street
• 54:22
  down the road to look at other churches not growing.
• 54:25
  So they asked the pastors why your church is not growing.
• 54:27
  As I said, you know, people don't like the unlike undiluted
• 54:30
  word of God, we preached undiluted word of God.
• 54:32
  We teach this. The exact thing the other man
• 54:34
  said that said is making his church grow is the exact thing
• 54:36
  these people said that They said, I said it's not making our
• 54:39
  church grow. So they knew that something is
• 54:41
  going on here that these men don't understand.
• 54:43
  So what did they do? They went and did the research
• 54:47
  and then they found out that there was migration, that that
• 54:50
  pastor whose church was growing grew up in the South, and that
• 54:54
  there was a migration of people from the South into that
• 54:58
  particular area in the northern part of America.
• 55:02
  And so they had been going to churches, but they just didn't
• 55:05
  connect culturally with those churches.
• 55:08
  So when they entered into the Church of this man who grew up
• 55:11
  in the South, they didn't even know what was going on.
• 55:13
  I will give examples and laugh the jokes.
• 55:15
  They said we connect with this. So what really was going on was
• 55:21
  that there was a movement of people from the South and once
• 55:25
  that movement stopped and people stopped migrating into those
• 55:29
  areas there, what happened was that the church stagnated at
• 55:33
  that particular point in time. So when God gives you eyes that
• 55:37
  see, you can even look into something and you will see
• 55:42
  clearly that this is what is actually going on in this place.
• 55:46
  You will look in as a front desk person and look at it and say 10
• 55:50
  people come into this organization everyday.
• 55:54
  Only two of them bring great business every time 10 come and
• 55:58
  you will understand the kind of two people that actually would
• 56:03
  the background the way they are. And you come out with data and
• 56:07
  you go out and go and meet your bosses and say, listen, I have
• 56:11
  discovered something. Let's not waste time with this
• 56:13
  eight set of people, this kind of people that come in this way.
• 56:17
  They say what are you talking about?
• 56:18
  I have looked at this over six months.
• 56:20
  I have tracked it. These are the kind of people, if
• 56:23
  we focus our marketing and our advertising to this kind of
• 56:26
  people, you will see that they actually it's going to scale up,
• 56:29
  use this particular thing. They use it, the business scales
• 56:32
  up. They know that they have an.
• 56:34
  Asset. In their hands there it is not
• 56:37
  just a front desk person now, it's somebody who is there
• 56:40
  gathering data, somebody who is there interpreting things.
• 56:44
  This is what God is saying that your eyes are opened up.
• 56:46
  I tell the OSHA in church, you are the only people.
• 56:49
  You are the only people that meet everybody that comes in
• 56:52
  this church. No other group of people meet
• 56:54
  everybody that comes in everybody that comes into the
• 56:57
  church meets with an OSHA. So you can get that gather data
• 57:00
  for us. You are the ones that can know
• 57:02
  whether somebody was happy or not, whether somebody at the end
• 57:05
  of the service you they that position is not just a manosha.
• 57:10
  Are you following what I'm saying here?
• 57:12
  Have eyes that sea, that's when you go to work and you are
• 57:16
  excited about what you are doing because you are processing
• 57:21
  things. You are thinking at a level.
• 57:23
  That's why David could say I have more understanding than my
• 57:26
  teachers. In other words, they teach what
• 57:28
  I see things into what they are teaching that they themselves
• 57:31
  that are teaching and don't see it.
• 57:40
  So the third one I want to look at here of seeing.
• 57:46
  So there's Washington, the poll called solemn.
• 57:47
  If you have an idea, don't just jump out.
• 57:50
  Take time to pray and pray and ask God for clarity so that
• 57:57
  there's no guesswork, so that you are not making mistakes that
• 58:01
  become an obstacle in the future, so that you get it.
• 58:05
  Right the first time so that you meet with the right people and
• 58:10
  and things work out right. The third level of saying is
• 58:15
  when you see into scriptures. In other words, when God opens
• 58:20
  up your eyes to see scriptures. And when you get to that level,
• 58:27
  you are no longer reading the Bible, the Bible.
• 58:31
  Is reading you once you start seeing into the Scriptures, when
• 58:38
  you take up the Bible and you are reading it every character
• 58:42
  that is in your office that is playing politics, you are seeing
• 58:45
  those characters in the life of David.
• 58:49
  You are seeing the decisions that David made.
• 58:52
  You are seeing those characters in the life of Jacob.
• 58:56
  You are seeing that everything just keeps happening in cycles
• 59:01
  and seasons. You're going to the Book of
• 59:03
  Kings, what you are calling politics.
• 59:05
  You see that this is how you'll see how you're supposed to
• 59:09
  approach your boss or approach your clients from what you have
• 59:14
  seen inside the Word of God. They say, where did you get this
• 59:18
  idea? You say, I got it out of the
• 59:19
  book of Jeremiah. The other people are looking at
• 59:22
  Jeremiah. What, what, what, what, what?
• 59:23
  Where did you see this? They say, I brought it out of
• 59:26
  this place here. I saw things inside the
• 59:29
  Scripture that compelled me to act this way, that compelled me
• 59:34
  to, you know, to go and make a decision here.
• 59:38
  So know who I should call that will talk to this person that
• 59:42
  will actually get this particular door opened up onto
• 59:45
  me that I saw that God was here, man was here and that God needed
• 59:50
  a mediator between him and man. In order so you understand that
• 59:53
  there are certain things if God needed a mediator, you also
• 59:56
  might need a mediator between you and somebody.
• 59:59
  And God tells you who that mediator is.
• 1:00:01
  And as you are studying, I meant it and you recognize that person
• 1:00:04
  and you call him. Can you help me talk to this
• 1:00:06
  particular individual? They say where did you get?
• 1:00:08
  I saw it in the scripture the way God chose Jesus to mediate.
• 1:00:11
  I also have chosen this person to mediate the scriptures begin
• 1:00:15
  to talk to you, which means it now becomes a book of
• 1:00:20
  instruction in a life manual for you and you get practical and
• 1:00:25
  and so you can go into the book of Chronicles, the book of you
• 1:00:29
  know, kings and begin to see how things all right, play out and
• 1:00:33
  and how individuals and how decisions all right, I made.
• 1:00:38
  And you enter into a position and you look at Solomon the
• 1:00:41
  minute he entered into that position where the warfare came
• 1:00:45
  from. And by you reading that you can
• 1:00:47
  know now that I've been promoted to this position as CEO.
• 1:00:50
  These are the angles where the warfare.
• 1:00:52
  These are the type of people you know that that will fire arrows
• 1:00:55
  at me. These are the decisions that
• 1:00:56
  I've got to make. You understand that you'll see
• 1:00:59
  every person in your life the role that they are supposed to
• 1:01:02
  play as you are reading the word of God.
• 1:01:06
  And how do we get to this particular point quickly?
• 1:01:09
  If we look at Luke chapter 24, verse 18 to verse 19, Luke 2418
• 1:01:14
  to 19. Now Jesus was raised from the
• 1:01:18
  dead. Jesus was raised from the dead
• 1:01:21
  and and and. And you should.
• 1:01:23
  Pray this. This, I believe, is my personal
• 1:01:27
  opinion. This is the most important
• 1:01:29
  prayer in the New Testament. The most important prayer any
• 1:01:34
  Christian can pray is Ephesians chapter one.
• 1:01:37
  Verse 16 to verse 18 is the most important answer.
• 1:01:39
  The Bible says the God of this world, Satan, blinds the minds
• 1:01:42
  of people. Satan, what he's doing is to
• 1:01:44
  blind the minds of people. His power is literally broken,
• 1:01:48
  not just legally now in Christ, but literally.
• 1:01:52
  Your life is broken when God opens up the eyes of your
• 1:01:56
  understanding and. If.
• 1:01:58
  He didn't need to open up the eyes of your understanding.
• 1:02:02
  Paul would not have been praying that for the church at Ephesus.
• 1:02:05
  Paul knew that I've got to pray this for it to happen there.
• 1:02:10
  But if you look at Luke 24, all right, that we saw here and
• 1:02:13
  verse 18 and verse 19, Luke 2418 and 19.
• 1:02:17
  Now Jesus was raised from the dead and, and, and and this was
• 1:02:22
  Clopas here. So look, I won't stretch these
• 1:02:27
  thoughts, but if you don't see if you don't see, then the woman
• 1:02:35
  who was at the well who had had five husbands and was living
• 1:02:40
  with a sixth person who wasn't a husband.
• 1:02:44
  You will never think that such an unclean person will be the
• 1:02:50
  point of contact to opening up an entire city for the ministry
• 1:02:55
  of Jesus. In fact, the woman at that well
• 1:02:58
  told Jesus, you are not permitted to even have
• 1:03:01
  conversations with me. So you'll be in a position where
• 1:03:06
  you even look at some people and say I cannot have conversations
• 1:03:10
  with that. But people have eyes eyes.
• 1:03:15
  That's he eyes. That's just he saw that woman
• 1:03:18
  for what she is and that's why Peter was struggling and God
• 1:03:21
  said don't call on clean what I've called.
• 1:03:23
  Clean. And what the people that God may
• 1:03:26
  bring into your life, the kind of people that God wants to
• 1:03:29
  bring in, you know, you might be doing, you know, human wisdom of
• 1:03:32
  networking and networking and networking.
• 1:03:35
  And you just may not realise that the people you are supposed
• 1:03:37
  to network with are people that are on the lower strata of
• 1:03:42
  humanity, that those that doors may be opened up onto you.
• 1:03:46
  If you don't see, you might walk past that man who was there
• 1:03:51
  lying half dead and you are going to battle, confessing, all
• 1:03:55
  right, that you have victory in Jesus Christ and saying, God has
• 1:04:00
  given me his prophetic word. We are going to have victory.
• 1:04:02
  We are going there to overcome, to recover and take all as he
• 1:04:04
  told you, all right. But you walk past that man
• 1:04:07
  because you have no time. But they stopped to give him
• 1:04:10
  water and something to drink and, and food.
• 1:04:13
  And the life came back into that man and they held the
• 1:04:15
  conversation with him, a man that his own masters had said
• 1:04:19
  you are good for nothing, and cast him aside.
• 1:04:22
  That was the man that told them exactly what to do.
• 1:04:26
  That reduced the casualty there and they recovered everything
• 1:04:30
  with no casualty. It was somebody else that cast
• 1:04:34
  him aside and somebody else picked him up, gave him life and
• 1:04:38
  he gave strategic information. You may walk past.
• 1:04:42
  People who are in an organization that have strategic
• 1:04:45
  information, you walk past the driver and it's the driver that
• 1:04:49
  has had the conversation, that knows where the team will swing
• 1:04:52
  to, but you don't greet them because, you know, I'm a big
• 1:04:54
  man. I came here for some strategic
• 1:04:57
  thing and I don't talk to people like this.
• 1:04:59
  Many people have discovered things by talking to people on
• 1:05:03
  the lower level. Many people have discovered
• 1:05:06
  things here when Abuja. So I can't say some things but
• 1:05:08
  there are many people that are influential.
• 1:05:10
  I have a friend, very influential and he says I eat
• 1:05:13
  where the drivers eat, I eat when he said that's where the
• 1:05:16
  information is cycling, that's where the real conversations are
• 1:05:20
  going on. They're giving us information as
• 1:05:23
  to what you walk past them because you don't believe that
• 1:05:26
  you can become the Prime Minister by any information you
• 1:05:29
  receive when you are in jail. Anybody in jail is not worth
• 1:05:32
  networking with, but that is where Joseph got the contact to
• 1:05:37
  go. So God walks down while we are
• 1:05:40
  trying to go up and in our trying to go up they this they
• 1:05:44
  they that's why I says to him that has not you are trying to
• 1:05:47
  go up and say I'm working with big men and all of that and you
• 1:05:50
  do not know all right, that listen, they humiliate you.
• 1:05:53
  They take you before court of law.
• 1:05:55
  They do all this thing and say well, and This is why not
• 1:05:57
  treating me because you are gravitating towards all right,
• 1:06:01
  the. Wrongs.
• 1:06:02
  Set of people. So this is important.
• 1:06:05
  That's why I say you must have eyes that see.
• 1:06:07
  You must have eyes that see. I switched on the television one
• 1:06:13
  day and let me just say this. I thought I would preach about
• 1:06:16
  that, but I had to finish this. Listen, it says wherever the
• 1:06:20
  soles of your feet step, I have given it on to you.
• 1:06:23
  And some of us Christians, the reason why we are not in
• 1:06:26
  influential places is that we are trying to get into the
• 1:06:29
  influential place from the top. And we don't know that Joseph
• 1:06:33
  was the brain behind Pharaoh. He wasn't Pharaoh.
• 1:06:36
  But everything there are people that are influencing things that
• 1:06:40
  are not visible. And it cost you nothing, cost
• 1:06:43
  you nothing to enter into those positions, just loyalty and
• 1:06:47
  faithfulness. And you can enter into there and
• 1:06:50
  sit in those rooms and have those conversations.
• 1:06:52
  And you didn't have to spend money on an election and spend
• 1:06:55
  money on this. And you are having those
• 1:06:57
  conversations because you have come to understand the principle
• 1:07:00
  that wherever the sole of my foot touches, that's what I'm
• 1:07:03
  going to give unto you. They open up the door.
• 1:07:05
  But you think that the position they are giving to you is not
• 1:07:07
  the right position. But what they are giving to you
• 1:07:09
  is access. And at whatever level the access
• 1:07:13
  is, you take that access because, you know, once the sole
• 1:07:16
  of my foot enters into that place, I will be able to
• 1:07:18
  dominate within this place. I was listening one day.
• 1:07:23
  I just switched on terms and I bumped on it and was I think God
• 1:07:25
  wanted to see was the former president of of South Africa,
• 1:07:29
  Thabo Mbeki. And he was talking and he said
• 1:07:32
  was his 80th birthday and was given a speech.
• 1:07:35
  I just stumbled on it. And he said, you know, we went
• 1:07:37
  to, I think it was Mali. He said when we got there, they
• 1:07:40
  took us to the place. He said, I just went first we
• 1:07:43
  got in and then I went to visit, you know, where the history of
• 1:07:46
  Africa is, you know, all that had happened in the past.
• 1:07:48
  And he said they put it in the place, all the documents, the
• 1:07:51
  literature, all of that. And he said the cameraman from
• 1:07:55
  SABC, the South African Broadcasting Corporation, was
• 1:07:58
  there following him recording it.
• 1:08:00
  And the man lowered his camera and said, Sir, I need to say
• 1:08:04
  something to you. And he said what?
• 1:08:06
  He had access. He was a cameraman, but he had
• 1:08:09
  access. A cameraman, but he had access
• 1:08:13
  that people may queue up for something, but he will always
• 1:08:15
  follow him. He had access.
• 1:08:17
  He said, Sir, I want to tell you something.
• 1:08:18
  He said the history of Africa should not be placed in a
• 1:08:21
  building like this. It's not befitting of Africa.
• 1:08:24
  And he said, please, when you meet with the president of Mali,
• 1:08:26
  can you tell him to build a museum for us?
• 1:08:29
  So at least we'll have this document in a place there.
• 1:08:32
  And Prime Minister Tabon Greg said, I will discuss that with
• 1:08:35
  him. He was saying this himself.
• 1:08:36
  He said, so when he met the president of Mali, he went to
• 1:08:38
  him and said, I want to say one thing to you.
• 1:08:41
  He said what? He said that place where all
• 1:08:43
  those documents are, you know, it's not really good for Africa.
• 1:08:45
  This is the history of Africa. This is where all these things
• 1:08:47
  are, you know, things, trade routes and and then the man
• 1:08:50
  looked at him and said, Prime Minister, you come from a rich
• 1:08:53
  country and from a poor country. He said if you have an
• 1:08:56
  opportunity to build a museum or build boreholes for your poor
• 1:08:59
  people, which will you do? And he said I will build
• 1:09:02
  boreholes instead of a museum. He said yes, I'm going to use
• 1:09:04
  our money to build boreholes. And Prime Minister Template said
• 1:09:07
  if you build the boreholes, we will build the museum for you.
• 1:09:10
  There is a museum now State of Art built by South Africa, but
• 1:09:13
  nobody knows. It was the man from Mesabc that
• 1:09:16
  suggested it. I am telling you that there are
• 1:09:20
  many people suggesting things. You will be amazed how powerful
• 1:09:24
  people finally make the decision.
• 1:09:28
  You'll be amazed that they just turn around and ask somebody
• 1:09:31
  around them, what do you think about this particular thing?
• 1:09:33
  They asked Hillary Clinton, Secretary Hillary Clinton.
• 1:09:36
  They said why was your husband so successful?
• 1:09:38
  Bill Clinton economic policies. He said we will sit down with
• 1:09:41
  strategies and we will debate. I know and come to conclusion.
• 1:09:45
  He said he will come out of the situation room and walking down
• 1:09:47
  the corridor and say janitor and say come here, come here.
• 1:09:50
  This is a decision we want to make you about it.
• 1:09:52
  If you were to make a decision on your family as to how to
• 1:09:54
  spend money and he will drop it and the man will say this is
• 1:09:57
  exactly what I will do. He will call another one who
• 1:09:58
  would have said it. He said he would he would do the
• 1:10:01
  policy according to the common sense those people gave you.
• 1:10:06
  That's why I said you look at it and say, what is this among so
• 1:10:09
  many and you despise, you don't know how many you listen if you
• 1:10:16
  if you get to go and get the book Mystery of Capital by
• 1:10:19
  Hernando de Soto where he spoke about the fact that Africa is a
• 1:10:24
  wealthy continent, a listen, people, a wealthy continent that
• 1:10:30
  is sitting on wealth. But the problem is it is held in
• 1:10:35
  defective ways. So God will open up the eyes.
• 1:10:41
  So these two men in Luke 2418 and 19 it says Luke 2418.
• 1:10:50
  So this Venus was after the resurrection of Jesus.
• 1:10:54
  One of them, Clopas, was. Answering said unto him, Now
• 1:10:57
  Jesus was after he was raised from dead, he was walking on the
• 1:11:00
  streets and he found two gentlemen who are discussing
• 1:11:06
  that just come from his his his tomb.
• 1:11:10
  And they were discussing. So Jesus met up with them and so
• 1:11:14
  he asked them a question. And the Bible says they looked
• 1:11:16
  at Jesus and said, Why are you people sorrowful?
• 1:11:18
  What's going on? Why are you worried?
• 1:11:20
  And this is what they said to Jesus, Art thou only a stranger
• 1:11:26
  in Jerusalem? And hast thou not known the
• 1:11:30
  things which are to come to? Pass there in these days, the
• 1:11:36
  next verse tells us. And he said unto them, What
• 1:11:40
  things? And they said unto him, Now they
• 1:11:42
  were telling Jesus that he's a stranger.
• 1:11:44
  This is Jesus you are talking to.
• 1:11:46
  You know when your eyes are not open, this is a terrible thing
• 1:11:49
  you are telling Jesus, telling him about the resurrection, that
• 1:11:52
  you're a stranger in this land. Did you just come to this land?
• 1:11:55
  This is Jesus. Now they said to him, what
• 1:11:58
  things? And he said on them concerning
• 1:12:00
  Jesus. They said which was a prophet
• 1:12:02
  mighty indeed, and the Word before God and all the people.
• 1:12:05
  And then the next verse tells us.
• 1:12:07
  And how the chief Prince and the rulers delivered him and
• 1:12:09
  condemned him to death and have crucified him.
• 1:12:12
  The next verse tells us, but we trusted that he had been that
• 1:12:16
  he'll be redeemed from Israel and bring forth all of these
• 1:12:19
  things. Now let's go to verse 27 because
• 1:12:22
  of time, Verse 27 quickly Luke 2427.
• 1:12:27
  So it says Luke 2427. And beginning at Moses and all
• 1:12:38
  the prophets, Jesus expounded to them in all the Scriptures the
• 1:12:44
  things concerning himself. Now verse 31, because of time.
• 1:12:50
  So it was expounded, and their eyes all right now before, all
• 1:12:55
  right now before this. Let's look at verse 3029.
• 1:13:02
  So from verse 9. And but they constrained him,
• 1:13:05
  said, Abide with us towards evening, and the day was fast
• 1:13:08
  spent, and He went to tarry with them.
• 1:13:09
  And then the next verse he tells us, and He came to pass.
• 1:13:12
  As they sat at meet with them, He took bread, blessed it, broke
• 1:13:15
  it, and gave it to them. And the Bible says their eyes
• 1:13:18
  were now opened, and they knew Him, and He vanished out of
• 1:13:23
  their sight. Now here what they said, they
• 1:13:27
  said one to another did our hearts not born within us while
• 1:13:33
  he talked with us by the way, and while he opened the
• 1:13:38
  scriptures to us. So when the scriptures are being
• 1:13:42
  opened to you, your heart begins to burn and it's a man that God
• 1:13:49
  sends to open the scriptures to you.
• 1:13:54
  That's what happened when Daniel understood by books what was
• 1:13:59
  written in the book of Jeremiah. Through the books he was
• 1:14:02
  reading. The scriptures were opened unto
• 1:14:06
  him. And your heart begins to burn
• 1:14:11
  and it's a sensational feeling. But you have to go beyond the
• 1:14:17
  scriptures being opened. That is the foundation that has
• 1:14:21
  to happen to the place where your own understanding is
• 1:14:26
  opened. Which means your eyes are opened
• 1:14:29
  up. If we look at verse 45 the Bible
• 1:14:34
  says that I close here. Verse 45 it says Luke 20.
• 1:14:38
  Four and then he opened their understanding that they may
• 1:14:45
  understand the scriptures. You can open the scriptures to
• 1:14:51
  people, but it's only God that can open the understanding of
• 1:14:57
  the people so that when the scriptures are opened up, they
• 1:15:03
  understand the scriptures so that they are not always ever
• 1:15:08
  learning, but not coming to the knowledge of the truth.
• 1:15:12
  In other words, always having this sensational feeling inside,
• 1:15:17
  but it doesn't get to the place where you are transformed.
• 1:15:20
  Is this opening of your understanding that Paul called
• 1:15:23
  with an open face beholding, which means you go from hearing
• 1:15:29
  to a place of beholding? Your face has been opened and
• 1:15:33
  that's why Paul prayed in Ephesians chapter 1 and verse 16
• 1:15:39
  and this is a prayer you should OfferUp Ephesians 1.
• 1:15:43
  He says, I cease not so give thanks for you, making mention
• 1:15:47
  of you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
• 1:15:51
  the Father of glory may give unto you the spirit of wisdom
• 1:15:56
  and revelation in the knowledge, which means as the knowledge is
• 1:16:00
  being passed. You have the spirit of wisdom
• 1:16:03
  and revelation in the knowledge of Him that the eyes of your
• 1:16:07
  understanding may be enlightened so that you may know the hope
• 1:16:12
  you come to that place of purpose assignment, you are
• 1:16:15
  sent, You know the hope of his calling.
• 1:16:19
  You know the riches of his glorious inheritance, which is
• 1:16:23
  the riches there is the wisdom of God, and then from there you
• 1:16:26
  also come in contact with the power of God.
• 1:16:30
  So if we look at Peter who went to catch fish, caught nothing,
• 1:16:36
  three things happened. Wisdom is profitable to direct.
• 1:16:40
  They came in contact with the riches of the glorious
• 1:16:42
  inheritance. Which is wisdom.
• 1:16:44
  He kept in contact with you when Jesus said cast your net on the
• 1:16:47
  right hand side and launch out into the deep direction was
• 1:16:50
  given. He kept in contact with power
• 1:16:53
  when he began to bring the fish and he saw it and he called his
• 1:16:58
  partners and both of them both began to sink.
• 1:17:02
  He saw power that came from the wisdom which was the direction
• 1:17:06
  of God, and he saw it and said I'm a Sinner.
• 1:17:08
  What he meant was I'm not worthy of these things.
• 1:17:11
  You have done exceedingly abundantly above what I can ask
• 1:17:13
  or think according to this power.
• 1:17:15
  He saw it. But most importantly, like we
• 1:17:18
  said yesterday, he knew the hope of his calling.
• 1:17:22
  So even though he experienced all of this, he said now we are
• 1:17:26
  going to catch men. So what happens is 3 things
• 1:17:30
  happens. You see purpose, you get the
• 1:17:34
  wisdom of God, which is what I am supposed to do in this
• 1:17:38
  situation. You experience the power of God,
• 1:17:42
  the same power that He wrought in Christ when He raised Him up
• 1:17:46
  from the dead. But most importantly, you have
• 1:17:50
  your reason for being, your purpose, and so that is clearly
• 1:17:54
  defined, and you go after that completely.
• 1:17:59
  I believe there are people under the sound of my voice here, that
• 1:18:04
  there is something that God has for you on this earth.
• 1:18:09
  In other words, we've come to this meeting and God wants to
• 1:18:13
  open up your eyes to see something.
• 1:18:16
  And in closing, I will tell this story, which I found to be a
• 1:18:18
  remarkable story. And I had the experience at the
• 1:18:23
  beginning of this year when Brother Copeland called world of
• 1:18:26
  faith ministers together in his ranch.
• 1:18:28
  He does it every year in January.
• 1:18:30
  So went for it. And there was a minister by the
• 1:18:33
  name who had been listening to her.
• 1:18:35
  You know, I'm young from time to time.
• 1:18:38
  All right, Mark Hammond, and he's 83 years old now, but I
• 1:18:43
  didn't even know he was at three years old.
• 1:18:46
  But this man got up so just and he was preaching.
• 1:18:49
  He took one of the sessions. And.
• 1:18:51
  In those sessions, he said something that will remain with
• 1:18:54
  me for the rest of my life. He said when I was 80 years old,
• 1:18:58
  God came to me and to tell me something about his assignment I
• 1:19:03
  had not yet done, 80 years old. And I'm saying everybody said,
• 1:19:07
  listen, you are not too old. Listen, you may retire and be at
• 1:19:11
  home, but God still has his purpose for your life. 80 years
• 1:19:15
  old. They said by all standards of
• 1:19:18
  ministry, and I like how we said it, He said.
• 1:19:20
  I was by what we call standard of ministry, I was successful.
• 1:19:24
  He said 1.8 million people in the He said I pass on one church
• 1:19:29
  in Minneapolis for 45 years, 1.8 million people had walked up to
• 1:19:34
  our altar and given their lives to Christ, 14,000 people had
• 1:19:38
  gone through our ministerial training to become ministers
• 1:19:41
  they said and the income that we had gotten into the church had
• 1:19:46
  gone up to $20 billion in those 45 years by the standards of
• 1:19:51
  ministry. Millions had gotten body getting
• 1:19:53
  trained for ministry and all of that.
• 1:19:55
  He said you will have looked at me and said you know it's time
• 1:19:57
  for you to retire your legacy. He said on my 18th, but the God
• 1:20:01
  came to me and told me, he said you still have 50.
• 1:20:04
  He said for 45 years I passed one church.
• 1:20:06
  He said you have to open 50 churches for me before you come
• 1:20:10
  home to be with me at the age of 80 and those 50 churches are in
• 1:20:14
  third world nations. He said, and when I say raise
• 1:20:18
  those churches, I mean leave the church with a building and leave
• 1:20:21
  the church with a pastor that you have raised up at the age of
• 1:20:26
  80, he's going into South Sudan, he's going into into places,
• 1:20:31
  remote places in Africa, he's going into El Salvador and all
• 1:20:34
  of that at the age of 80, Assignment, assignment purpose.
• 1:20:39
  Life will come back instantly to you.
• 1:20:41
  You start looking young. Assignment purpose.
• 1:20:44
  And when he finished preaching, he turned around to Brother
• 1:20:45
  Copeland. He said, in 30 years I've been
• 1:20:48
  coming for this conference, 30 years.
• 1:20:50
  I have never, ever left this conference without sitting
• 1:20:54
  through. But because of this assignment,
• 1:20:56
  I am sorry, Brother Copeland, for the first time I have to
• 1:20:59
  give you the microphone. I have to head my way right?
• 1:21:01
  And Brother Copeland said, I understand, hogged in and the
• 1:21:04
  man walked away because of assignment and walked away.
• 1:21:06
  There are people under the sound of my voice now.
• 1:21:09
  Who are saying? There's an assignment and I pray
• 1:21:12
  for you in the mighty name of Jesus, that in this conference
• 1:21:16
  you will wash your eyes in that pool called asylum, a pool where
• 1:21:20
  you will leave this place seen clearly what God has placed and
• 1:21:26
  what he has for you, and leave this place with intercession,
• 1:21:31
  with prayers that God himself. Will come down.
• 1:21:36
  And initiate things on this earth for the fulfillment of
• 1:21:40
  that call in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
• 1:21:44
  God bless you all, Koinonia. It was wonderful being here.
• 1:21:49
  And there has been massive utterance that I've had on this
• 1:21:53
  platform, a testimony to the quality of this ministry, a
• 1:21:57
  testimony to the quality of intercession that has gone in
• 1:22:00
  the background. For the fulfilment, I salute.
• 1:22:03
  All right. God bless you all.
