Speaker 1: K uhgeous see mygoustine.
0:41
Speaker 2: Your grace has found me just as I am empty
0:49
Speaker 2: handed by a live video your man.
1:00
Speaker 3: Bgeoustye, mygousty.
1:13
Speaker 4: Forever I am changed by your law, in the.
1:22
Speaker 3: Presence of your magousty. Forever we are changed by your law.
1:45
Speaker 4: That could not hold you down. You are the reason key.
2:01
Speaker 2: You are seating in madsty. You are the reson gee.
2:17
Speaker 2: Lift your hands, lift your voice in hallelujah all about
2:20
Speaker 2: this place.
2:22
Speaker 4: Hal you have one.
2:32
Speaker 2: To therey lies our confidence and our trusting bad lea.
2:45
Speaker 1: You have one.
2:49
Speaker 2: For me.
2:52
Speaker 1: Dad could not.
3:22
Speaker 2: Adam. Father, tonight be glorified in the name of Jesus.
3:27
Speaker 2: It's an honor to speak in this conference, and I
3:30
Speaker 2: pray that your word will come with power. Bless our
3:33
Speaker 2: hearts and let Jesus be glorified in Jesus' name. God,
3:38
Speaker 2: bless you and thank you. Please be seated. It truly
3:44
Speaker 2: is my joy and my honor to bring the word
3:48
Speaker 2: of the Lord even tonight. And appreciate this opportunity. I
3:53
Speaker 2: do not take it for granted. Praise the name of
3:57
Speaker 2: the Lord. It's going to be a very brief session.
4:00
Speaker 2: Then I trust that the Lord will grants us understanding
4:04
Speaker 2: conferences like this, as I would always say, it is
4:07
Speaker 2: an opportunity to encounter the Word of God. The boundary
4:15
Speaker 2: of God's commitment to a believer is his word. The
4:18
Speaker 2: Word of God defines the boundaries. God is not mandated
4:25
Speaker 2: to commit himself outside of the jurisdiction of the Word
4:28
Speaker 2: of God. The Word of God defines the boundaries. So
4:32
Speaker 2: every need that the Word of God does not create
4:37
Speaker 2: space four cannot be met. The Bible says he upholds
4:42
Speaker 2: all things by the word of His power. Alleluyah. We
4:55
Speaker 2: live in very challenging times, as again has been observed
4:59
Speaker 2: on this altar. But more than that, I think that
5:03
Speaker 2: the men are being more challenged than we realize. And
5:08
Speaker 2: in fact, one of the ways that God judges a
5:15
Speaker 2: territory is by withdrawing men and what they represent. That
5:24
Speaker 2: when God wants to judge a territory. Please give us
5:27
Speaker 2: Isaiah chapter three. Isaiah chapter three. Let's just look at
5:33
Speaker 2: the first four verses and then are just built from
5:35
Speaker 2: their Isaiah chapter three. If you can help us, media,
5:40
Speaker 2: can we read it together? Want to read for behold,
5:44
Speaker 2: the Lord, the Lord of Host takes away from Jerusalem
5:48
Speaker 2: and from Judah. The stalk. Okay, from hence, if we
5:53
Speaker 2: can just have King James just KJV. Thank you very much,
5:57
Speaker 2: thank you very much. It says, the whole stay of
6:00
Speaker 2: bread and the whole state of water. So this is
6:03
Speaker 2: judgments happening. Next verse verse two, what does he would
6:08
Speaker 2: draw the mighty man and the man of war, the judge,
6:14
Speaker 2: and the prophet. Now look at the caliber of people
6:16
Speaker 2: he's withdrawing. What then is left of his society when
6:19
Speaker 2: all these men are gone? The mighty man, the man
6:23
Speaker 2: of war, the judge, the prophet, the prudent, and the
6:28
Speaker 2: ancient verse three, the captain of fifty and the honorable man,
6:36
Speaker 2: and the counselor, and the conning artify and the eloquent orator.
6:43
Speaker 2: Verse four, look at what is left of any society
6:46
Speaker 2: that does not have men? And I will give children
6:50
Speaker 2: to be their princess and babes to rule over them.
6:54
Speaker 2: Someone say, God forbid? Speak to also God, in the
7:00
Speaker 2: name of Jesus Christ. Believers have been given a mandate.
7:14
Speaker 2: And I think that for a very long time, the
7:20
Speaker 2: whole idea of God's agenda is a concept that I
7:26
Speaker 2: would respectfully observe has not been thoroughly understood in the
7:31
Speaker 2: body of Christ. Generally we have pockets of ideas as
7:36
Speaker 2: to what God has done or what He desires from men.
7:40
Speaker 2: If you ask God random you pick any believer who
7:42
Speaker 2: has been very faithful in church, and you ask him
7:45
Speaker 2: what does God really want? He would give you ideas
7:49
Speaker 2: like he wants soul saved, others who say he wants
7:52
Speaker 2: people blessed, others who say he wants people to prosper.
7:56
Speaker 2: But if we are unable to understand God's mind and
8:01
Speaker 2: the full scope of God's idea and God's expectation, we
8:06
Speaker 2: will continue to shadow box around the things of the
8:09
Speaker 2: Kingdom in hope that what we are doing is satisfying
8:13
Speaker 2: the heart of God. But the Bible does not leave
8:16
Speaker 2: the will of God and his intention as a mystery.
8:19
Speaker 2: Praise the Lord. The Bible lets us know. In Matthew
8:24
Speaker 2: chapter thirteen and verse eleven, Jesus was having one of
8:27
Speaker 2: his mentorship sessions with the disciples, and he says, it
8:30
Speaker 2: has been given unto you to know the mysteries of
8:34
Speaker 2: the Kingdom, so it is not hidden. He desires that
8:38
Speaker 2: we have that understanding, that we can live our lives
8:42
Speaker 2: with intention and with accuracy. Knowing means that the Bible
8:47
Speaker 2: describes believers with respect to their identity. So names like
8:55
Speaker 2: you are the sons of God, names like branch, names
9:01
Speaker 2: like joined heirs. These are all names descriptions of believers
9:07
Speaker 2: that attempts to show them the depth of your connection together. Now,
9:12
Speaker 2: so the first naming of believers is according to their identification.
9:17
Speaker 2: The goal is to help you see and conceiveracy reality,
9:21
Speaker 2: the depth of your oneness with the Christ. But the
9:24
Speaker 2: second system of naming is according to function and assignment.
9:30
Speaker 2: So believers are also called kings and priests. Believers are
9:35
Speaker 2: called light and salt. Believers are called ambassadors. Believers are
9:42
Speaker 2: called witnesses. This description does not just attempt to show
9:46
Speaker 2: our identity. It is a revelation of the responsibility dimension.
9:51
Speaker 2: Alle Lujah. If all believers know is that I am
9:55
Speaker 2: one with Christ, I am a joint heir. As powerful
10:00
Speaker 2: as that is, it does not create the balance. We
10:02
Speaker 2: have to understand that there are names that activate that
10:08
Speaker 2: sense of responsibility. Allelujah. In first he touched after two
10:14
Speaker 2: and verse nine, I run through some scriptures. We may
10:16
Speaker 2: not have the luxury of projecting all of them because
10:19
Speaker 2: of time. You may do well to just grabble them
10:21
Speaker 2: down I apologize if I run faster than you're writing.
10:25
Speaker 2: Praise the Lord first bitter two and verse nine. The
10:28
Speaker 2: Bible observes there that we are a The Bible says
10:31
Speaker 2: we are a chosen generation. It calls us a royal priesthood,
10:37
Speaker 2: a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people. And
10:42
Speaker 2: then the Bible says, we're mandated to show forth the praises.
10:47
Speaker 2: To show forth the praises is the word dog zazo,
10:51
Speaker 2: to make manifest that which brings glory to the king.
10:56
Speaker 2: To show forth the praises of him who hath called
10:59
Speaker 2: you out of darkness into his marvelous life. Daniel, Chapter seven,
11:05
Speaker 2: place and verse twenty seven. Just running to a few
11:09
Speaker 2: scriptures that lets us know that believers are not just
11:13
Speaker 2: roaming around the earth. God did not just make man,
11:17
Speaker 2: gave him authority and just allowed him to do whatever
11:20
Speaker 2: he has to do. Know there is a description, there
11:23
Speaker 2: is a definition, a weay together. The Bible says, and
11:27
Speaker 2: the kingdom and dominion and the greatness of the kingdom
11:32
Speaker 2: under the whole heaven shall be given to the people
11:35
Speaker 2: of the Saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is
11:38
Speaker 2: an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
11:44
Speaker 2: This is a very clear description that the time will
11:47
Speaker 2: come creation, regardless of the pride of mankind. Something will
11:52
Speaker 2: bring man to his knees, and he will acknowledge that
11:55
Speaker 2: there is a God in heaven and that there are
11:58
Speaker 2: individuals who have been mandated to cooperate with the Holy
12:01
Speaker 2: Spirit to make this reality away together. Psalms eight. This
12:07
Speaker 2: was the contemplation of the Psalmi Psalm eight. For the
12:10
Speaker 2: sake of time, let's go to verse four. The Psalmis
12:13
Speaker 2: began to wonder why God was so interested in man.
12:18
Speaker 2: He was a very, very wise person, and on the
12:22
Speaker 2: strength of the manifestation of that grace upon his life.
12:25
Speaker 2: He was just contemplating why would God not replace man
12:29
Speaker 2: and create and not that specie of humanoids. What was
12:34
Speaker 2: man that would make God to chase man? He would
12:37
Speaker 2: rebel against God, and they would be given to their enemies,
12:41
Speaker 2: and none of them would come to say God, I'm sorry.
12:43
Speaker 2: And yet God, in his own act, he would send
12:46
Speaker 2: a prophet to now call them and say, look, let's
12:48
Speaker 2: talk again. God did not hide his vulnerability towards man
12:52
Speaker 2: in scripture, and so the psalm is contemplating on this,
12:55
Speaker 2: now began to write. He said, what is Man? I
12:59
Speaker 2: wish you had the time when you read the priors verses,
13:02
Speaker 2: you say, when I consider the lilies, and this and
13:04
Speaker 2: that and that. He now came to the conclusion that
13:07
Speaker 2: what is man? Just give us from verse four that
13:10
Speaker 2: thou art mindful of him and the son of Man,
13:14
Speaker 2: that thou visitest him. Verse five it says, thou hast
13:19
Speaker 2: made him lower than the angels. The word dear is
13:23
Speaker 2: yellow him. Thou had made him lower than God, not
13:26
Speaker 2: just angelious the beings. You have made him just a
13:29
Speaker 2: little lower than God. Then you have crowned him with glory.
13:34
Speaker 2: And on the next verse it says, Doo has made
13:39
Speaker 2: him to have dominion over the works of thy hands.
13:44
Speaker 2: Thou hast put how many things, all things under his
13:48
Speaker 2: feet Genesis, chapter one, last verse. And then we begin
13:54
Speaker 2: to build from there from verse twenty six. This was
13:58
Speaker 2: their account of the creation of what we would call
14:02
Speaker 2: theologicalist within the recreation of the earth after the flood
14:06
Speaker 2: that brought judgment in Genesis one and verse two. The
14:09
Speaker 2: Bible says, from verse three, and God said, light be
14:14
Speaker 2: and he saw that it was good. Then he began
14:17
Speaker 2: to bring forth other things. When we get to verse
14:20
Speaker 2: twenty six, the Bible says, and elo him, and God said,
14:26
Speaker 2: let us make man in our own image. Now look
14:29
Speaker 2: at the formation of man. It's amazing how the Bible
14:32
Speaker 2: is very meticulous. It tells you what was in the
14:35
Speaker 2: mind of God in the making of man. Praise the Lord.
14:39
Speaker 2: I'm glad that this church, this church is quite quite
14:43
Speaker 2: a plethora of absolutely brilliant people. When I was hearing
14:47
Speaker 2: the names, I mean, I was wondering. I said, my God,
14:51
Speaker 2: what a church. When you have a church with so
14:54
Speaker 2: much intellectual resource, I think it's a great advantage. And
15:00
Speaker 2: so I believe that we're not in ignorance as to
15:05
Speaker 2: when the details in the product is described. It's so
15:09
Speaker 2: that you can appreciate the product. Praise the Lord. When
15:13
Speaker 2: you take a very quality product, you turn to the
15:15
Speaker 2: back of your case, in your wrap, they would go
15:18
Speaker 2: and give you details. It contains vitamins, it contains this.
15:22
Speaker 2: In fact, this has already provided amount of your recommended
15:26
Speaker 2: daily allowance. So God is not just saying let's make man.
15:29
Speaker 2: He wants you to appreciate what went into the making
15:33
Speaker 2: of man. Are we together now? So he says, let
15:38
Speaker 2: us make man, but let us make him after our image. Now,
15:43
Speaker 2: theologically speaking, and I hope this does not create any
15:46
Speaker 2: kind of debate and all of that, but we know
15:50
Speaker 2: that Adam was not the first man. Adam was the
15:54
Speaker 2: first man created in the image and the likeness of God.
15:59
Speaker 2: Both Bible and science agree to the fact that there
16:02
Speaker 2: had been an existence of humanoid species. The Bible tells
16:06
Speaker 2: us that even the first occupant of the Gardien of
16:09
Speaker 2: Eden was not Adam himself. It was Lucifer, the sun
16:11
Speaker 2: of the morning THATU was in Eden, the garden of
16:16
Speaker 2: the Lord Allelujah. So I'm saying that so that we'll
16:21
Speaker 2: understand this. When when Lucifer was cast down, and there
16:27
Speaker 2: was the judgment that was in Genesis one, verse two,
16:31
Speaker 2: when God was making man, Lucifer was somewhere in the
16:35
Speaker 2: horizon watching what was happening. Don't you think it was
16:38
Speaker 2: only God and dust. There was an audience watching the
16:43
Speaker 2: creativity of Elohim giving to man what made Lucifer. This
16:48
Speaker 2: was what Lucifer wanted. This was the exact reason for
16:51
Speaker 2: the rebellion in heaven. So when God cast that Lucifer
16:55
Speaker 2: down so that he does not look like an insecure God.
16:59
Speaker 2: He said, what I'm doing with his rebellion, I'm secured
17:02
Speaker 2: enough to give all of me into an entity. Remember
17:08
Speaker 2: that the goal of Satan was to create a parallel
17:11
Speaker 2: government so that you could honor either God or him.
17:16
Speaker 2: That was his offense. He did not want to replace God.
17:19
Speaker 2: He wanted to be an option to God. So when
17:24
Speaker 2: he was dodged down now God, he watched the artistry
17:28
Speaker 2: of God breathing his own life. Let us make man
17:31
Speaker 2: in our image. What is image our character, and then
17:37
Speaker 2: our likeness our functionality. So let us make man in
17:40
Speaker 2: our character, and let us make man to function like us.
17:44
Speaker 2: I well, stay together, it says, and this piche of being,
17:48
Speaker 2: whoever it is that images from this world that man,
17:52
Speaker 2: Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
17:58
Speaker 2: over the far of the air. These are different jurisdictions.
18:03
Speaker 2: Are we together now the sea, the air, and over
18:06
Speaker 2: the cattle and the earth, and over every creeping thing
18:09
Speaker 2: that creeped upon the earth. Twenty seven. So God created
18:14
Speaker 2: man in his own image, in the image of God
18:20
Speaker 2: created him male and female created He them twenty eight allelujah.
18:25
Speaker 2: And God blessed them and said unto them be fruitful
18:30
Speaker 2: and multiply, and replenish the earth and subdue it, and
18:36
Speaker 2: have dominion over the fish of the sea, the fowl
18:39
Speaker 2: of the air, every living thing that moves upon the earth.
18:43
Speaker 2: So we know that man is the zenith of God's creation.
18:50
Speaker 2: The symbol of his artistry is man. Corporate mandate. Therefore,
19:01
Speaker 2: let me read something I just wrote here very quickly.
19:04
Speaker 2: Our corporate mandate is twofold. It's important as believers that
19:08
Speaker 2: we understand that we have a corporate mandate given to
19:12
Speaker 2: every believer. Read, regardless of the geography of your assignment.
19:16
Speaker 2: It does not matter whether you are a preacher, whether
19:19
Speaker 2: you are a career person, whether it's in family. We
19:22
Speaker 2: have a corporate mandate. And the corporate mandate is twofold
19:26
Speaker 2: number one. The first of it is to establish the
19:30
Speaker 2: lordship of Jesus Christ in the hearts of men. This
19:34
Speaker 2: is the first mandate. Everyone is given this mandate that
19:39
Speaker 2: for as long as you have the privilege of breath
19:42
Speaker 2: in your nostrils, there is an expectation from God towards
19:47
Speaker 2: you that you become a contributor to think that the
19:53
Speaker 2: lordship of the Christ be established in the hearts of
19:56
Speaker 2: men and the spiritual strategy that the Bible uses to achieve.
20:03
Speaker 2: This is called the Gospel. Please understand this the Gospel.
20:09
Speaker 2: The Gospel is first a message, is a message that
20:14
Speaker 2: contains an information that when that information is communicated, the
20:19
Speaker 2: spirit of God is mandated to back that information. That
20:23
Speaker 2: whoever receives that information as true, there is an advantage
20:28
Speaker 2: to receiving it is called the life of God. So
20:31
Speaker 2: the Gospel is a revelation of the love of the Father.
20:37
Speaker 2: Message of the Gospel is a revelation of the love
20:41
Speaker 2: of the Father demonstrated in and through the substitutionary sacrifice
20:47
Speaker 2: of Jesus's son, And the object the object of that
20:51
Speaker 2: sacrifice is the entire creation. Man first and then creation.
20:55
Speaker 2: I hope you know the Gospel is not limited to
20:58
Speaker 2: man alone. Effect of the Gospel must be seen all
21:01
Speaker 2: across creation. So the first of our corporate mandate is
21:09
Speaker 2: to see to it that through the instrument of the Gospel,
21:13
Speaker 2: the message that saves that every single man upon this
21:19
Speaker 2: earth will come to a point where there would be
21:23
Speaker 2: recipients of the life of God. By acknowledging the substitutionary
21:27
Speaker 2: sacrifice of Jesus Christ as proof that God loved man,
21:31
Speaker 2: the Bible says, for God so loved the world John
21:35
Speaker 2: chapter three and verse sixteen, He so loved the world
21:38
Speaker 2: and demonstrated that love by giving Jesus. He is only begotten.
21:43
Speaker 2: But now he is not the only begotten. Today he
21:46
Speaker 2: is the first of we, the begotten. But at that
21:50
Speaker 2: time he was the only begotten of the Father. Away together.
21:52
Speaker 2: Now he sacrificed Jesus, and by the shedding of blood
22:00
Speaker 2: humiliation of the cross is death and burial and resurrection.
22:04
Speaker 2: Today we have access to the life of God, and
22:08
Speaker 2: the Bible says, whosoever believes in Him, alongside everything that
22:14
Speaker 2: has been done, listen, there is an exact information you
22:18
Speaker 2: have to believe about God to be saved. Not every
22:21
Speaker 2: information about God saves. Believing He is a prophet does
22:24
Speaker 2: not save. No, believe in God is kind does not save.
22:32
Speaker 2: Believe in God is a good God does not say.
22:35
Speaker 2: In fact, believing God is God does not save. You
22:38
Speaker 2: will have to believe in the substitutionary sacrifice of his
22:44
Speaker 2: son to the end that men be saved. Are we
22:48
Speaker 2: together now? The Bible says, there is no other name
22:51
Speaker 2: under Heaven given on to men by which we must
22:54
Speaker 2: be saved. So this is very very important. That means,
22:58
Speaker 2: for as long as I am breathin, there is an
23:01
Speaker 2: expectation from God towards me that as I walk the
23:05
Speaker 2: length and the breadth of the earth, regardless my career,
23:09
Speaker 2: regardless my personal plan, regardless my pursuit, whatever it is,
23:14
Speaker 2: in the mind of God, you are only useful to
23:17
Speaker 2: Him to the degree to which you are a contributor
23:23
Speaker 2: to this. If you are on earth today and your
23:27
Speaker 2: life is not directly helping for this to happen as
23:30
Speaker 2: first God is concerned, there is no justification for your continuity.
23:37
Speaker 2: Are we blessed? This is not a mandate to preach us. No,
23:43
Speaker 2: it is the first of our corporate mandate. That means
23:46
Speaker 2: the moment I wake up in the mind of God,
23:50
Speaker 2: someone has woken up. And now there is a privilege
23:53
Speaker 2: given that men will be able to see the love
23:56
Speaker 2: of God again. They will be able to acknowledge Jesus
23:59
Speaker 2: again and listen to me, Dear Lord, how do I
24:04
Speaker 2: say this? There are many ways to evangelize, and there
24:09
Speaker 2: are many ways to communicate a way together, And did
24:14
Speaker 2: you know that I wish we had time to deal
24:16
Speaker 2: with this in the Great Commission man was given the
24:21
Speaker 2: assignment go ye. He was given the jurisdiction all the earth.
24:27
Speaker 2: He was giving the message frech the gospel. He was
24:31
Speaker 2: given those to talk to all creation. But he was
24:34
Speaker 2: never told how. The only part of the Great Commission
24:38
Speaker 2: that was left was the strategy. He created flexibility so
24:42
Speaker 2: that we can evolve a way together that the assignment
24:46
Speaker 2: remains the same. The object remains the same, but the
24:50
Speaker 2: system can change. Today you can stand somewhere trying to
24:54
Speaker 2: talk to someone and the person can say this is
24:57
Speaker 2: a crime. Maybe you are an ambrobbo or something. So
25:00
Speaker 2: is that there has to be a lot of creativity
25:02
Speaker 2: and dynamism in our communicating the gospel. Are we together now?
25:08
Speaker 2: We live in very evil times when the way we
25:12
Speaker 2: used to do things as far as evangelism may need
25:16
Speaker 2: a lot of adjustment to be able to shoot the
25:19
Speaker 2: reality of today's world. But it still does not mean
25:23
Speaker 2: God has burned his expectations. He still expects that there
25:28
Speaker 2: be joy every day in heaven because I woke up
25:31
Speaker 2: from my bed alive. And if my life is not
25:36
Speaker 2: sponsoring this, then I am a hindrance to the joy
25:40
Speaker 2: and the satisfaction of the Father's heart are we blessed.
25:44
Speaker 2: I'm trying to be as simple as possible, establishing the
25:48
Speaker 2: lordship of Christ. Ladies and gentlemen. Let me remind us
25:53
Speaker 2: that hell is real. I know that for many of
25:56
Speaker 2: us it's been a long time you heard this word.
25:58
Speaker 2: Let me draw me hell real. Someone woke up this
26:02
Speaker 2: morning and is now dear as we speak. The Bible
26:05
Speaker 2: says it is are pointed onto men to die once
26:08
Speaker 2: and after it the judgment. Believe me, when people die
26:11
Speaker 2: without Jesus Christ, they are going to Hell. Regardless of
26:14
Speaker 2: how we try to convince ourselves, it is a reality.
26:20
Speaker 2: There are people who are going there. Some of them
26:23
Speaker 2: are our loved ones. And the father's heart continues to bleed.
26:31
Speaker 2: Where are the people who will arise and see to
26:35
Speaker 2: it that lives are changed, see to it that people
26:38
Speaker 2: come to the saving knowledge of Jesus. Unfortunately, the times
26:43
Speaker 2: that we live in now has not given us the
26:46
Speaker 2: allow once to really see the value of the salvation
26:49
Speaker 2: of a soul. But it is a miracle when someone
26:53
Speaker 2: is translated from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom
26:57
Speaker 2: of God's their son. It does not look spectacular land,
27:01
Speaker 2: but by that singular way to spend eternity. There's no
27:04
Speaker 2: such thing like we use spenditality. The issue is location.
27:08
Speaker 2: You will spend eitnity a we blessed. Let me hurry
27:17
Speaker 2: because of time. Number two the second dimension of our
27:22
Speaker 2: corporate mandate, and this this is the part that really
27:25
Speaker 2: concerns this conference. I just needed to establish the first part.
27:30
Speaker 2: The second part is in in summary, it's called Kingdom advancement.
27:35
Speaker 2: But then the second dimension is establishing the lordship of
27:39
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ across every stracta of human activities. That it
27:45
Speaker 2: is not enough to just see that souls or lives
27:51
Speaker 2: are saved. An individual can be saved, but a territory
27:57
Speaker 2: can be unsafe, and it will take extending the ideology
28:02
Speaker 2: of the Gospel to institutionalize the value system of the
28:07
Speaker 2: Kingdom across every strata of human activities. Failure to do
28:12
Speaker 2: that will endanger those who profess the name of the Lord,
28:15
Speaker 2: and it will ultimately sabotage the purposes of God. Our
28:19
Speaker 2: commitment will not end in seeing that Christ is established
28:24
Speaker 2: in the hearts of many alone. The territory must come
28:27
Speaker 2: under the influence of the value system of the Kingdom,
28:32
Speaker 2: and the primary tool for achieving this is called dominion. Dominion.
28:41
Speaker 2: Dominion is a spiritual system by which we bring creation
28:48
Speaker 2: under the influence of the Christ and his value system. Remember,
28:54
Speaker 2: the mandate is that let it be done in earth
28:56
Speaker 2: as it is in heaven. Is not the God of
29:01
Speaker 2: Christians is the God of all flesh and the Bible,
29:04
Speaker 2: And history has proven that everywhere the value system of
29:07
Speaker 2: the Kingdom is respected and honor, that society becomes a
29:11
Speaker 2: reflection of Heaven. Regardless of the personal convictions of the
29:15
Speaker 2: individuals about the Christ. Every society today that we celebrate
29:22
Speaker 2: that development, whether it is in the health sector, or
29:25
Speaker 2: whether it is in technology, whether it is in the
29:27
Speaker 2: morality standard of that society, regardless of the individual persuasions
29:33
Speaker 2: they have about the person Christ, I can guarantee you
29:36
Speaker 2: that that society is working in that level of dexterity
29:39
Speaker 2: because the Man, they have allowed the value system of
29:43
Speaker 2: the kingdom to find expression, regardless of the individual personal
29:50
Speaker 2: encounter with Jesus. If our territories does not subscribe to
29:54
Speaker 2: the value system of the kingdom, it will remain a
29:57
Speaker 2: place of danger and a place of dicademy. If you're together,
30:01
Speaker 2: say Amen, influence what is influenced influences the ability to
30:08
Speaker 2: compel men to buy into your ideologies without using force
30:13
Speaker 2: or cruelty. That you devise the mechanism through your results,
30:18
Speaker 2: through the dexterity of your life. Are we together now?
30:22
Speaker 2: That you substantiate your belief systems with a dimension of
30:26
Speaker 2: results that is so compelling enough to cause people to
30:30
Speaker 2: change their ideology without using force, without using cruelty. It's
30:35
Speaker 2: called influence. This is the dimension of kingdom advanced the
30:39
Speaker 2: Church has neglected. We have done well in evangelism, commendably so,
30:45
Speaker 2: but we have ignored influence. And the times that we
30:50
Speaker 2: live in will require that believers attained dimension of kingdom
30:55
Speaker 2: influence that will allow the value system of the kingdom
30:58
Speaker 2: to be both preserved and extended within a territory. Are
31:04
Speaker 2: we together? So this is very, very very important. I'm
31:13
Speaker 2: a student of history, sociologically speaking, and even from the Bible,
31:18
Speaker 2: and I've studied revivals, and I've studied the moves of God,
31:21
Speaker 2: and I've studied the socio economic impact of the Gospel
31:25
Speaker 2: across different territories through many centuries. I have found out
31:30
Speaker 2: that every time evangelism was used as the only tool,
31:35
Speaker 2: there was a side effect to the growth of those
31:37
Speaker 2: people you would find out that they would do well
31:40
Speaker 2: in terms of their personal spiritual growth, but there will
31:43
Speaker 2: be systems that create subjugation of the saints. Are we
31:47
Speaker 2: together now? Yes? That kingdom advance through the Gospel is twofold.
31:52
Speaker 2: Number one is the message that saves. Number two is
31:55
Speaker 2: the ideology that creates dominion. It is this twofold operation
32:01
Speaker 2: that makes the sains to be comfortable to serve God,
32:05
Speaker 2: and then the territory to be civil enough to allow
32:09
Speaker 2: humans to behave like the zenith of God's creation. Every
32:14
Speaker 2: time you see crime, every time you see decadence, the
32:22
Speaker 2: destruction that before nations, sadly including Africa, is not necessarily
32:28
Speaker 2: a product of a limitation in evangelism. It is that
32:32
Speaker 2: the other side that has been neglected for years. We
32:35
Speaker 2: are now beginning to pay the price. So we have
32:38
Speaker 2: individuals who can die for Jesus, We have individuals who
32:42
Speaker 2: love Jesus passionately, but we have a territory that is
32:45
Speaker 2: outspokenly rejecting the value system of the kingdom. This conference
32:50
Speaker 2: is an attempt to bring the restoration of that other
32:54
Speaker 2: side away together. Yes, and I can tell you where
33:04
Speaker 2: this started from. When you studied through church history you
33:07
Speaker 2: will find out that there was a period in the
33:09
Speaker 2: Church where believers were greatly persecuted under emperors like Nero.
33:16
Speaker 2: Sometimes they would not even last seventy two hours. If
33:19
Speaker 2: you gave your life to Jesus Christ, you knew that
33:21
Speaker 2: you would almost you would be dead in days. I
33:25
Speaker 2: went together now, So over a long period of time,
33:28
Speaker 2: under that harsh climate of persecution, most believers did not
33:32
Speaker 2: think of things like productivity, creativity because their ultimate concern
33:37
Speaker 2: was martiredom. Now under Emperor Constantine and under certain conditions,
33:42
Speaker 2: believers were now allowed the liberty to express themselves, and
33:46
Speaker 2: they did not know what else to do with their
33:48
Speaker 2: lives because there had been through seasons of martiredom. I
33:53
Speaker 2: went together now, and so many of them consider that
33:56
Speaker 2: kernal and non spiritual to participate in socio economic activities,
34:02
Speaker 2: and it began to advance an ideology that makes believers
34:08
Speaker 2: to not participate in socio economic activities, and sadly speaking,
34:13
Speaker 2: we are still victims of that thinking till today. So
34:21
Speaker 2: the scope and I want to say this respectfully. I
34:25
Speaker 2: know that there are people online following. This is the
34:28
Speaker 2: reason why it is important I say this respectfully. Even
34:33
Speaker 2: to preachers. We must be enlightened enough to understand the
34:36
Speaker 2: scope of our spiritual communication. Because the Church is a
34:40
Speaker 2: platform for mentorship, people become a reflection of the ideology
34:45
Speaker 2: of their leaders. I went together the narrative that limits
34:52
Speaker 2: the relevance of a believer to just evangelism and salvation,
34:57
Speaker 2: while allowing creation to to dive. The Bible calls us
35:04
Speaker 2: the light of the world. That means the definition of
35:06
Speaker 2: darkness is the world without the Church. Allelujah. Kingdom Advance.
35:14
Speaker 2: What is Kingdom advance? It is the use of every
35:20
Speaker 2: the deploying of every and any scriptural mechanism to see
35:27
Speaker 2: that crisis and throne, first in the hearts of men,
35:30
Speaker 2: and then across every strata of human activities. I made
35:33
Speaker 2: up my mind as a man of God that I
35:36
Speaker 2: will never raise the people who are only spiritual. I
35:39
Speaker 2: believe in influence. I have seen the power of influence
35:42
Speaker 2: in transforming society. Is God blessing us. You know what
35:50
Speaker 2: honor it is to have the Secretary to the Federal Government,
35:54
Speaker 2: for instance, sitting and listening to the world of the Lord.
35:58
Speaker 2: His convictions are in influenced by the leadership of the
36:02
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit, and that is safety and a blessing and
36:05
Speaker 2: an advantage for the nation. Do you know that God
36:09
Speaker 2: must find space in the places and the corridors of
36:11
Speaker 2: power for the value system of the kingdom to remain.
36:15
Speaker 2: It is an honor, It is not something to be
36:17
Speaker 2: ashamed and afraid of. Are we blessed? Yes? Influence means
36:32
Speaker 2: to have an effect, the capacity to have an effect
36:35
Speaker 2: on the mindset, the beliefs and the convictions of a person.
36:40
Speaker 2: Let me just rush very quickly. I want to touch
36:43
Speaker 2: on what I call killers of dominion. And now this
36:47
Speaker 2: is where every man here should just just lend me
36:51
Speaker 2: your attention for a few minutes, if I may request,
36:54
Speaker 2: because havn't established the fact that we have a mandate
36:58
Speaker 2: and that our mandate is two for number one is evangelism,
37:02
Speaker 2: the use of the Gospel to see that men are saved.
37:05
Speaker 2: But number two, to take advantage of the dominion systems
37:09
Speaker 2: that are being allocated to the saints, to see that
37:12
Speaker 2: creation and every territory where we are domiciled, that we
37:17
Speaker 2: become extensions of the value systems of the Kingdom. And
37:22
Speaker 2: it is not just by doing Christian activities. The value
37:25
Speaker 2: system of the Kingdom has nothing to do with being
37:28
Speaker 2: a Christian. It is a value system that reflects the
37:31
Speaker 2: character of Christ. Remember, God is not the God of Christians.
37:35
Speaker 2: He is the God of all flesh. I hope you
37:36
Speaker 2: understand what I'm saying. There is a dimension of God
37:39
Speaker 2: whose applicabilities to everyone alive, with no by us, with
37:45
Speaker 2: no prejudice. He sends the rain to believers and unbelievers alike.
37:49
Speaker 2: And there must be a dimension of the influence of
37:52
Speaker 2: the Kingdom that will extend to our territories, that everyone
37:57
Speaker 2: will know that there is a God in heaven, regardless
38:00
Speaker 2: of your spiritual convictions. But there are pillers. Please please
38:09
Speaker 2: understand what I'm saying now, there are pillers. Dominion does
38:12
Speaker 2: not just happen by intention. Please believe us. Understand. God
38:18
Speaker 2: is a god of systems. That means, in his character
38:22
Speaker 2: he does not do the same thing twice. When God operates,
38:25
Speaker 2: he shows you a model of what he intends. Then
38:29
Speaker 2: he DULs a system around that activity, so that engaging
38:33
Speaker 2: the system brings continuity to that process. A way together.
38:37
Speaker 2: He made man once, he made a woman once, and
38:40
Speaker 2: programmed within those species a system that, if engaged, will
38:45
Speaker 2: produce continuity. That means, for instance, if a woman is buried.
38:50
Speaker 2: It is Satan attempting to stop a system that has
38:54
Speaker 2: been built. So when you pray and have wound this open,
38:57
Speaker 2: it's more than a miracle. It is God replying that
39:00
Speaker 2: I am still God. I'm supervising the system that I build.
39:08
Speaker 2: Are we together now? Respectfully speaking? Africa is the very
39:12
Speaker 2: spiritual continent, But we are also a superstitious continent. There
39:18
Speaker 2: are dimensions of the power, the grace and the influence
39:22
Speaker 2: of the Kingdom that will not come through superstition and wishing.
39:25
Speaker 2: We will have to understand the systemic character of God
39:29
Speaker 2: and sustain the grace to engage the principles that make
39:32
Speaker 2: for those results, or the wives who will continue to
39:35
Speaker 2: profess truths we cannot defend. For instance, there is a
39:41
Speaker 2: spiritual system that is responsible for growth. You don't just
39:47
Speaker 2: grow by default. You may do so biologically, but every
39:54
Speaker 2: other aspect of growth must be engaged intellectually, and so
39:57
Speaker 2: on and so forth. There is a spiritual system that
40:00
Speaker 2: governs sustainability. People don't just last. There are principles that
40:05
Speaker 2: make it happen. Are we together now? There is a
40:08
Speaker 2: spiritual system that governs restoration. I call them systems of advantage.
40:14
Speaker 2: God in his building. Man knew that man would have
40:18
Speaker 2: times where he would lack in time, and he builties
40:21
Speaker 2: system that can be engaged that man can rest short
40:24
Speaker 2: time finances. For instance, I think this is probably one
40:30
Speaker 2: of the most superstitious areas in Africa. Respectfully speaking, we
40:35
Speaker 2: have this illusion that somehow, somewhere there will be some
40:40
Speaker 2: kind of and don't get me wrong, God is the
40:42
Speaker 2: source of all blessings and it is true. But the
40:46
Speaker 2: refusal to understand the whole counsel of God is what
40:49
Speaker 2: continues to betray our profession for many years, and so
40:53
Speaker 2: people do not rise to that level of economic stature
40:57
Speaker 2: that gives them a voice in society. God is talking
41:01
Speaker 2: to men. We cannot talk to men and not talk
41:03
Speaker 2: about these issues. Are we together? Because the Bible says
41:08
Speaker 2: that any man that cannot take care of his family
41:11
Speaker 2: paraphrasing has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel.
41:15
Speaker 2: And my goodness, there are so many people, especially at
41:17
Speaker 2: times like this. We've acknowledged the fact that the pandemic
41:22
Speaker 2: and other related issues have caused the economies of nations
41:25
Speaker 2: to come to their knees. But this now is the
41:28
Speaker 2: time to show the superiority of the value system that
41:30
Speaker 2: we hold onto. That there is an advantage in our
41:34
Speaker 2: dealing with God that is able to help us route
41:37
Speaker 2: a system. This is what will compel the gentiles to
41:41
Speaker 2: come to our light. The Bible says in Isaiah's sixty
41:44
Speaker 2: and verse one, it says, our rise, shine, for thy
41:48
Speaker 2: light is come amplified, Our rise from the depression and
41:51
Speaker 2: the prostration that circumstances have kept you. It says, rise
41:55
Speaker 2: to a new light. It says, for the glory of
41:57
Speaker 2: the Lord is reason upon you. And then the Bible says,
42:00
Speaker 2: for darkness shall cover the earth is the word to
42:03
Speaker 2: who are who? Confusion and gross darkness the people? Then
42:07
Speaker 2: it says, but upon you the glory of God shall rise.
42:09
Speaker 2: Verse three says gentiles, hallelujah gentiles, that the man in
42:15
Speaker 2: family worships center will will rise to a level of dexterity,
42:21
Speaker 2: that gentiles will begin to come and say, we have
42:23
Speaker 2: discern God in discharge. There there is something about the
42:27
Speaker 2: men of excellence that uncommon. An uncle is due to
42:34
Speaker 2: withstand the pressure it can stand. It says, gentiles will
42:42
Speaker 2: come to your light. But it never said your kings
42:45
Speaker 2: will come to your light, because the kings also have light.
42:49
Speaker 2: The kings only come to the brightness your miracles, who
42:55
Speaker 2: attract multitudes. What is your wisdom that will attract kings
43:05
Speaker 2: kings to the brightness. Remember this was adumbrated in the
43:09
Speaker 2: life of Solomon. The Bible lets us know that other
43:12
Speaker 2: kings came to pay homage and to bow to him.
43:14
Speaker 2: But there was a strange woman from Utopia who would
43:17
Speaker 2: not pay attention. She was a woman who had results
43:20
Speaker 2: by herself, and nothing about Solomon's wealth and influence touched her.
43:24
Speaker 2: But consistency is a proof that you are living by principles.
43:29
Speaker 2: You cannot remain by mistake. Nobody wins the Olympic by mistake.
43:33
Speaker 2: You can start by mistake, you can have short term results,
43:37
Speaker 2: but consistency. Kings don't come when you start. They keep watching.
43:41
Speaker 2: When you remain and are sustained, it's proved that you
43:45
Speaker 2: have gain mastery. So when the influence of Solomon was sustained,
43:51
Speaker 2: she Ba now came, and she came with gold and everything,
43:56
Speaker 2: and went through and saw the dexterity of his palace, yes,
44:00
Speaker 2: and the order and everything that was there. And her
44:03
Speaker 2: conclusion was that half of this was not told me
44:10
Speaker 2: there is a message that will not be attractive to kings.
44:13
Speaker 2: Because kings by default are Arrogan's people. They have a
44:16
Speaker 2: history of their pain and their sacrifice. They will not
44:18
Speaker 2: listen to nonsense. It will take a dimension of the
44:22
Speaker 2: kingdom that don't founds their wisdom and don't found their experiences.
44:31
Speaker 2: Nico Demos came to Jesus by night. He was not
44:34
Speaker 2: asking a miracle, he says, Rabbi, forget the nonsense we're
44:38
Speaker 2: say in the day. We know you are a man
44:40
Speaker 2: sent from God. There is something about your understanding of
44:45
Speaker 2: the kingdom. You will not see Nico Demos in a
44:49
Speaker 2: crusade ground. No, he came to Jesus by night. It's
44:56
Speaker 2: time for certain people to start coming by night to
45:00
Speaker 2: call you and say, look, forget what we do. This
45:03
Speaker 2: is just the ritual of leadership. But I know what
45:06
Speaker 2: I'm looking for. I have discerned the grace and the
45:08
Speaker 2: wisdom of God that the opening of your lips is
45:11
Speaker 2: a revelation of a town cell that can bring to
45:15
Speaker 2: an end decades of confusion in people's lives. Please year me,
45:21
Speaker 2: there are things when you have only poor people look
45:23
Speaker 2: for you. There are things when you have only wealthy
45:26
Speaker 2: people look for you. There are things when you have
45:29
Speaker 2: only your tribesmen look for you. But there are things
45:31
Speaker 2: when you possess all men will seek for you. It's
45:41
Speaker 2: a short one. We soon pray I went together. So
45:44
Speaker 2: I want to show you a few pillers. We'll start
45:47
Speaker 2: tonight and then conclude tomorrow as we just allow all
45:49
Speaker 2: the other speakers to just move by the spirit. There
45:53
Speaker 2: are pillers. It is my desire, and it was my
45:56
Speaker 2: prayer to hold the hands of our mother and the
45:59
Speaker 2: man track of God alongside the chairman of the uncost
46:03
Speaker 2: men Fellowship, to be able to help strengthen the hands
46:06
Speaker 2: of the men in Disho through knowledge. Because we rise
46:10
Speaker 2: up by revelation. It takes more than intention. The Bible
46:13
Speaker 2: says e's Sicail, chapter two, from verse one and two.
46:17
Speaker 2: He told me stand up, and Ezicel did not have
46:19
Speaker 2: the strength to stand, even though you wanted to stand.
46:22
Speaker 2: But it says, the spirit entered me, It's skeel two
46:25
Speaker 2: and verse two, and set me upon my feet. You
46:28
Speaker 2: don't rise because you are tired of sitting. You rise
46:30
Speaker 2: because your light has come. The things that I'm going
46:37
Speaker 2: to be sharing with you in the next two or
46:38
Speaker 2: three minutes. If you allow me, will just start listen
46:41
Speaker 2: to me. I submit to you with all humility. They
46:44
Speaker 2: are not opinions. These are truths that are backed up
46:47
Speaker 2: by the integrity of God. They've been vetted through the
46:50
Speaker 2: lives of exceptional people by the grace of God. We
47:00
Speaker 2: do not share conningly devised fables. These are principles that
47:04
Speaker 2: have made kings. The Bible says, by me king's reign
47:07
Speaker 2: and princes decreed justice. He says, with me riches, wealth
47:10
Speaker 2: and ohnor yet durable riches and righteousness. There is, says
47:13
Speaker 2: specie of men God is producing in this conference. Some
47:18
Speaker 2: one twelve says, blessed is the man that feared the Lord.
47:21
Speaker 2: Verse one that delighted greatly in his commands. Verse two
47:25
Speaker 2: says his seed shall be mighty. Some one twelve His
47:30
Speaker 2: seed shall be mighty upon earth, It says, the generation
47:34
Speaker 2: of the upright shall be blessed. Then he says, well,
47:36
Speaker 2: time riches shall be in his house, and yet his
47:40
Speaker 2: righteousness and jobs forever, Allelujah, are we blessed. It takes
47:49
Speaker 2: light when spiritual illumination comes to you and you understand
47:54
Speaker 2: the systemic character of God. Then you know that there
47:58
Speaker 2: are dimensions of his power that we're invested in his principles. Listen, please,
48:03
Speaker 2: there is a dimension of God's power that is invested
48:06
Speaker 2: in encounters. When you encounter God as a reward for
48:10
Speaker 2: meeting him, there is a dimension of his power and
48:12
Speaker 2: is annointing that comes to you. But there is a
48:14
Speaker 2: dimension of God's power that is invested in principles. You
48:18
Speaker 2: don't have to be a Christian to access that dimension.
48:21
Speaker 2: You just have to be enlightened enough to understand the systems.
48:25
Speaker 2: And this is the system by which we dominate the cosmos.
48:28
Speaker 2: So he said it this way to be wise as sapens.
48:31
Speaker 2: It's one of the few times God will use the
48:34
Speaker 2: sapen to tell believers. What do you have to do
48:36
Speaker 2: with the sapen? But it says, if you are living
48:38
Speaker 2: in the cosmos, there is something about the sapent that
48:42
Speaker 2: will become a weapon for you. Was they not go
48:44
Speaker 2: Liat's own weapon that David use. Don't forget David use
48:49
Speaker 2: his sling to hit Goliath, but he used go Liad's
48:52
Speaker 2: own sort to remove his head. There is something you
48:55
Speaker 2: have that is in the hand of the world. It
48:57
Speaker 2: will take the wisdom of God to know how to
48:59
Speaker 2: call active. When David went for war, he did not
49:08
Speaker 2: need to carry a sword because he already so good
49:11
Speaker 2: liad with one, and he knew that there is a
49:15
Speaker 2: way you can collect things. Are you ready, please brain
49:22
Speaker 2: one minute? Open my eyes, O God, shabahmac s open
49:29
Speaker 2: my eyes. I give you a guarantee the name of
49:35
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, that no one who polls that if this
49:38
Speaker 2: light will be small, I will multiply them. They will
49:41
Speaker 2: not be few. I will glorify them. He said, they
49:44
Speaker 2: will not be small. Allelujah. These are spiritual killers that
50:00
Speaker 2: activate the systemic dimension of God's power that every man
50:04
Speaker 2: and extends to everybody who engages these principles. I give
50:09
Speaker 2: you a guarantee backtop by the jealousy of God, that
50:12
Speaker 2: you will watch yourself rise. You will veto whatever background,
50:16
Speaker 2: vetto whatever limitation, and rise to a point where the
50:19
Speaker 2: nations will be compelled. This is not the first time
50:22
Speaker 2: a nation or territories are desiring to call the name
50:26
Speaker 2: of the Lord through the leaders. It happened in the
50:28
Speaker 2: days of Daniel. Africa will call upon the name of
50:33
Speaker 2: the Lord. And it will not just happen by cousades alone.
50:39
Speaker 2: There will be a dimension of the supply of God's grace.
50:42
Speaker 2: There will be an extension of influence. Number one, The
50:51
Speaker 2: first piller that I would share, thank you so much
50:53
Speaker 2: for the time, is our spiritual connection. The first killer
51:00
Speaker 2: that controls dominion is your spiritual connection. Please write it down.
51:06
Speaker 2: Life is spiritual. I think we have to start from
51:10
Speaker 2: there and just deal with it. To be honest enough,
51:13
Speaker 2: life is spiritual, ladies and gentlemen, I respect profoundly all
51:20
Speaker 2: of the years of intellectual labor and all of the
51:24
Speaker 2: years of stretching our understanding intellectually from border to border.
51:30
Speaker 2: I took out time to lavishly acknowledge the value of
51:34
Speaker 2: being intellectually sound. But living in today's world, approaching life
51:38
Speaker 2: only from a standpoint of science and sociology is only
51:42
Speaker 2: a recipe for fatality. Life is spiritual. There is a
51:46
Speaker 2: dimension of life that cannot be explained by science. There
51:50
Speaker 2: is a dimension of life that sociology cannot capture. Are
51:56
Speaker 2: we together? Life is spiritual. The Bible does not have
52:00
Speaker 2: the fact that life is spiritual. First some well, please
52:04
Speaker 2: let's run to these scriptures just five minutes so that
52:07
Speaker 2: we can wrap up. Will continue in the morning. First
52:09
Speaker 2: some well, Chapter twelve from verse six, please read it
52:15
Speaker 2: as a prophecy for your own life. Just the epath ready,
52:18
Speaker 2: please read, want to read, And somewhere said onto the people, Aha,
52:22
Speaker 2: it is the Lord that advanced Moses and error, and
52:27
Speaker 2: that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.
52:30
Speaker 2: There are things only God can do. It is the
52:34
Speaker 2: Lord that advanced Moses. He moved, though, but in the
52:38
Speaker 2: realm of the spirit there was a force pushing him forward.
52:40
Speaker 2: He did not just move forward by intention. We live
52:45
Speaker 2: in a society that sometimes tried to downplay the value
52:48
Speaker 2: of God. No, in the beginning God, it must remain
52:53
Speaker 2: a formula. Not in the middle of your experience. God
52:57
Speaker 2: must be Alpha Omega, in the beginning of your business, God,
53:05
Speaker 2: in the beginning of your family, God, in the beginning
53:09
Speaker 2: of your career. God. When you begin to be embarrassed
53:13
Speaker 2: about the existence of God and your connection to him,
53:16
Speaker 2: you are authorizing darkness. Daniel lost every other thing but
53:22
Speaker 2: this one thing, the God. The spirits of the Medice
53:26
Speaker 2: and the Passians continue to manipulate it system to frustrate
53:30
Speaker 2: the conviction of Daniel. And he said, no, I can't
53:32
Speaker 2: lose every other thing, but not this and they sat
53:37
Speaker 2: in a parliament and passed decree to just frustrate one
53:40
Speaker 2: man's prayer life. And Daniel said, no way. If I
53:43
Speaker 2: get into the pity still, the God that is I'm
53:46
Speaker 2: praying to that will save me. So I would rather
53:48
Speaker 2: stay there. Your spiritual conviction, your spiritual conviction as that
53:58
Speaker 2: chapter forty from verse twenty eight that you want, please
54:01
Speaker 2: just write it down. We're not reading it. The Bible
54:03
Speaker 2: talks about the young men getting weary, It talks about
54:07
Speaker 2: people fainting. It is not backsliding. It is the reality
54:11
Speaker 2: of carrying a human body that no matter how energetic
54:15
Speaker 2: and how visionary you are, the vicissitudes of life will
54:18
Speaker 2: bit you to a point where one day you will
54:21
Speaker 2: get to a point where you will have to stop
54:23
Speaker 2: and catch your breath. It has nothing to do with
54:25
Speaker 2: back sliding. It proves you a man, and it proves
54:28
Speaker 2: you are alive for as long as you are on
54:30
Speaker 2: this edge. You just need to live a little longer,
54:32
Speaker 2: a one more hour, one more day, one more second,
54:35
Speaker 2: and you will find a need to say, ah, God,
54:38
Speaker 2: I will need your help. God designed it that way
54:40
Speaker 2: to make sure we don't forget him. He knows that
54:43
Speaker 2: there is a tendency in us. So he allowed that
54:49
Speaker 2: limitation to force man to always need him. Your spiritual connection, Matthew,
54:58
Speaker 2: chapter nineteen and verse twenty six. Please just give us
55:01
Speaker 2: that one Matthew, chapter nineteen and verse twenty six. The
55:08
Speaker 2: Bible says with men, this is impossible, and comemen with
55:15
Speaker 2: men by October till December. It may not be possible
55:20
Speaker 2: to make anything out of your finances, out of your life,
55:23
Speaker 2: but when you add God to any equation, the calculation
55:26
Speaker 2: changes anything. Plus God is the answer he gives. With God,
55:33
Speaker 2: it is possible that in one week God can program
55:36
Speaker 2: a climate of favor over a man and wipe the
55:39
Speaker 2: shame that came from January till September. There is a
55:43
Speaker 2: God in heaven. Please hear me. God is not an experiment,
55:49
Speaker 2: the monarch of the universe, regardless the noise that is
55:53
Speaker 2: made by the pride of men from nation to nation.
55:56
Speaker 2: We submit that there is a God in Heaven away together.
56:01
Speaker 2: So your spiritual connection is the first killer that ensures
56:05
Speaker 2: your dominion. Efficient chapter six and verse twelve. Paul was
56:09
Speaker 2: mentoring the church in Ephesus, and then he began to
56:12
Speaker 2: tell them that we wrestle, not against flesh and blood, Paulice,
56:17
Speaker 2: saving you years of shadow boxing. He's saying, any physical
56:21
Speaker 2: thing you see happening, don't approach it just physically first,
56:25
Speaker 2: that there is always a spirit supporting it. It was
56:29
Speaker 2: James speaking to the church in chapter two, don't turn there,
56:32
Speaker 2: just right and verse twenty six. He was teaching on
56:35
Speaker 2: faith and walks, and he veered up to say, for us,
56:38
Speaker 2: a body without a spirit is dead. So everybody you
56:42
Speaker 2: see has a spirit, do you not trouble? Is a body,
56:45
Speaker 2: there is a spirit behind it. An unfavorable situation is
56:50
Speaker 2: a body, there is a spirit behind it. When Jesus
56:54
Speaker 2: came the storm, there was the wind, and there was
56:57
Speaker 2: the wave. You could only see the wave, but there
56:59
Speaker 2: was the wind energizing it. You to fraternize with human
57:04
Speaker 2: entities across the globe, To sit with that the saints
57:08
Speaker 2: in light have victimized, To sit with that families are subjugated.
57:12
Speaker 2: There are horns that continue to speak. Zakaria saw them
57:15
Speaker 2: what sees now, and he said four horns. He said,
57:18
Speaker 2: these are the hons that have lifted up themselves against Judah,
57:21
Speaker 2: against Jerusalem, against Israel, so that no man will lift
57:25
Speaker 2: up his head. He said, but I have sent for carpenters.
57:30
Speaker 2: Please believe it. There are horns Africa. Hear me, there
57:34
Speaker 2: are horns. The devil will not cross his leg and
57:37
Speaker 2: watch your influence rise. He knows what will happen. He
57:40
Speaker 2: has already seen your worship in the secret place. He
57:43
Speaker 2: saw you rolling before God in the secret place and saying, God,
57:46
Speaker 2: as you rise me, as you lift me, your name
57:48
Speaker 2: is also lifted. It was not only God that had
57:52
Speaker 2: the worship. It was not only God that had the confession.
57:54
Speaker 2: Sat and had it to and vow that as first
57:57
Speaker 2: this family is concerned, I will sit with that. This one,
58:00
Speaker 2: who is becoming a rising style will calm down. Ah,
58:04
Speaker 2: but there is a God in heaven. When God gets
58:09
Speaker 2: up and shakes himself and say I am ready to
58:12
Speaker 2: lift you, there is no power in existence, no fratality
58:17
Speaker 2: of men. I tell you this. This tree is full
58:20
Speaker 2: of men and women who were shot when they saw
58:24
Speaker 2: the finger of God writing. Listen. God does not seem
58:29
Speaker 2: to move every time, but every once and again to
58:31
Speaker 2: history he will say, men, shift, let me show you
58:35
Speaker 2: once and again so that you will teach your children
58:39
Speaker 2: that God is still alive. And I believe that soul.
58:42
Speaker 2: We're getting to a point where God is about to
58:45
Speaker 2: make a statement in this country, in Africa. It's about
58:49
Speaker 2: to make a loud statement. I am God, Allelujah, your
59:00
Speaker 2: spiritual connection. The whole world lies in wickedness. You send
59:07
Speaker 2: your child to school and you do not know what happens.
59:11
Speaker 2: You just know he returns in the afternoon in the evening.
59:14
Speaker 2: You do not know the onslaught of hell that is
59:17
Speaker 2: waiting for him, like the fowler waiting to catch the
59:21
Speaker 2: bird your conviction. You can get a dead man for
59:29
Speaker 2: your house, but it cannot stop demons. You will need
59:35
Speaker 2: the ministry of angels for that one. You can do
59:40
Speaker 2: your best to be as visionary and responsible as you can,
59:45
Speaker 2: but we are just limited gas Kiani. We are men.
59:53
Speaker 2: There are things that your strength cannot go beyond, and
59:58
Speaker 2: at that point you must tap into a fountain of grace.
1:00:02
Speaker 2: The songwriter says, when my heart is overwhelmed, it says,
1:00:05
Speaker 2: lead me to a rock that is higher, not a
1:00:08
Speaker 2: rock that looks like me. God is speaking to someone here.
1:00:12
Speaker 2: Maybe you are an uncommon just hearing me and saying,
1:00:15
Speaker 2: of course you may not understand the bills that are
1:00:17
Speaker 2: of my head. I'm barely hearing you now because my
1:00:20
Speaker 2: Landlord is waiting for me. I'm barely hearing you now
1:00:23
Speaker 2: because there is a sick Things did not work out. Listen,
1:00:26
Speaker 2: Continue to put your business plans and everything in place,
1:00:30
Speaker 2: but give space for a mysterious manifestation of God. Continue
1:00:38
Speaker 2: to prepare for your career, continue to give the best.
1:00:42
Speaker 2: But please, in all your arrangement, give space for God,
1:00:47
Speaker 2: because there is a God in heaven. And your spiritual
1:00:50
Speaker 2: connection is not a religious reality. It's an advantage that
1:00:54
Speaker 2: is provable here and now. Spiritual connection is provable sociologically,
1:01:00
Speaker 2: is provable, economically, is provable alwise. The sum is said,
1:01:07
Speaker 2: many a day that rise up against me some three,
1:01:10
Speaker 2: he says, many a day that say where is thy health?
1:01:13
Speaker 2: It says, But thou, o Lord, you are a shield
1:01:17
Speaker 2: for me. He called him, my glory, and the lift
1:01:21
Speaker 2: tar rop of my head. I will not be afraid
1:01:27
Speaker 2: of ten thousands of people, he said. He said, I
1:01:29
Speaker 2: lay me dow when I slept, I wait for the
1:01:32
Speaker 2: Lord sustained me. Man Let us not be embarrassed. What
1:01:40
Speaker 2: we're facing now is greater than our strength, whether it
1:01:44
Speaker 2: is the pandemic, whether it is the financial situation, whether
1:01:47
Speaker 2: it's stability in our organizations. We have done our best.
1:01:50
Speaker 2: We have stretched our intellect from border to border. The
1:01:53
Speaker 2: world is having to check their data again. The world
1:01:57
Speaker 2: is having to research again, for instance, which is going
1:02:00
Speaker 2: on tirelessly across the nation to try to get a vaccine,
1:02:04
Speaker 2: and several things are happening across the eath. We need
1:02:07
Speaker 2: God and we must acknowledge it first. The jealousy of
1:02:12
Speaker 2: God does not allow him to come without being called.
1:02:15
Speaker 2: He will only prompt you, but he will need you
1:02:19
Speaker 2: to call. The Lord is nigh them that call upon him,
1:02:23
Speaker 2: not them that wants him. He says, call upon me,
1:02:26
Speaker 2: and I will answer. And I thank God that we
1:02:29
Speaker 2: have people who are calling upon the Lord, even in Nigeria.
1:02:32
Speaker 2: I trust that the grace of God will come and
1:02:35
Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus, soon enough we will. We
1:02:38
Speaker 2: will rise above the pandemic, rise above the situations that
1:02:42
Speaker 2: are coming here. And we thank God for the presence
1:02:45
Speaker 2: of our Father here so that while we are speaking,
1:02:47
Speaker 2: he's representing the government of our nation. And we are
1:02:50
Speaker 2: declaring in the name of Jesus that there is a
1:02:53
Speaker 2: mystery to this country. It's not all about human beings.
1:02:56
Speaker 2: There is the jealousy of Elohim back in us, and
1:02:59
Speaker 2: that in a name that is above all names. When
1:03:02
Speaker 2: the devil is just about to destroy families, just about
1:03:06
Speaker 2: to destroy carriers, then his Majesty speaks and says, I'm
1:03:10
Speaker 2: also part of the equation, and my presence makes the difference.
1:03:14
Speaker 2: If you're with me, say amen, are you ready to
1:03:20
Speaker 2: pray the second pillar? Then we take it from there tomorrow.
1:03:28
Speaker 2: The second pillar that commands dominion is the power of transformation.
1:03:35
Speaker 2: The mystery of superior belief systems Romance, Chapter twelve. From
1:03:44
Speaker 2: verse one and two, the Bible says, I beseech you, brethren.
1:03:49
Speaker 2: From verse one by the message of God. He says
1:03:52
Speaker 2: that you offer your bodies a living sacrifice onto God,
1:03:56
Speaker 2: wholly and acceptable, and he calls it your reasonable act
1:03:59
Speaker 2: of worship. Then verse two he says, and do not
1:04:03
Speaker 2: be confirmed to this world. The world world is the
1:04:05
Speaker 2: Greek word a on the thinking pattern that comes with
1:04:08
Speaker 2: this age. There is an ideology. Listen, please, There is
1:04:11
Speaker 2: a belief system that comes with this age. There is
1:04:16
Speaker 2: a way sociology has shaped us our mindset. We have
1:04:20
Speaker 2: come from different backgrounds, and these backgrounds have spawnsor certain
1:04:25
Speaker 2: belief systems that, no matter how well meaning we are,
1:04:28
Speaker 2: there sustain the ability to impede our horising, and that
1:04:32
Speaker 2: if we want to command dominion, we must sustain both
1:04:36
Speaker 2: the humility and the fortitude to receive superior knowledge. Superior knowledge,
1:04:43
Speaker 2: superior knowledge. Your belief system is the only gateway that
1:04:48
Speaker 2: both the Holy Spirit and demons used to access your life.
1:04:53
Speaker 2: Belief systems are powerful the shape your understanding about life,
1:04:58
Speaker 2: about God, about finance, about family. Let me give the
1:05:03
Speaker 2: last illustration and then I'm done. Gentlemen, please, can you
1:05:07
Speaker 2: come just stand here? You stand here, watch this, Look
1:05:10
Speaker 2: at this, my friend, here you come. Let's assume, for instance,
1:05:15
Speaker 2: that this guy just an example, God forbid. Imagine that
1:05:20
Speaker 2: this guy is an umbrober, and imagine that this guy
1:05:23
Speaker 2: is a pastor away together. You call him an umbroba
1:05:26
Speaker 2: because he's robbing people, and you call him a pastor
1:05:29
Speaker 2: because you think he's helping people, both of them if
1:05:32
Speaker 2: they become corpses on the ground. You don't call this
1:05:36
Speaker 2: an ambroba copse. You call it a copse. You don't
1:05:40
Speaker 2: call this a pastor copse. You call it a cops
1:05:42
Speaker 2: So who was really the umbroba
